THE
TRVE
PICTVRE
AND
RELATION
OF
PRINCE
HENRY
His
Noble
and
Vertuous
disposition
,
Containing
Certaine
Observations
and
Proofes
of
his
towardly
and
notable
inclination
to
Vertue
,
of
the
pregnancy
of
his
Wit
farre
above
his
Age
,
comprehended
in
sundry
of
his
witty
and
pleasant
speeches
.
AMong
so
many
thousand
wicked
and
corrupt
people
that
liue
dispersed
abroad
through
the
world
,
there
is
one
sorte
,
if
not
worser
then
others
,
yet
at
least
is
such
as
ought
to
be
ranked
among
those
that
are
manifestly
wicked
before
the
world
;
namely
,
such
as
are
ingrate
,
and
among
them
a
great
number
of
those
that
liue
in
the
courts
of
great
Princes
and
Lords
,
and
by
all
possible
meanes
doe
labour
to
attaine
to
riches
,
honour
,
and
preferment
,
through
the
helpe
and
fauour
of
these
great
ones
,
whom
(
whilst
they
are
yet
aliue
)
they
doe
reuerence
,
honour
,
and
extoll
with
high
and
extrauagant
prayses
,
placing
them
(
as
it
were
)
among
the
celestiall
powers
.
But
those
great
persons
being
once
dead
,
and
consequently
their
hope
to
gaine
or
profit
any
more
by
them
hauing
now
failed
them
,
they
forget
within
a
short
time
their
benefactors
,
without
speaking
almost
of
them
any
more
,
or
at
least
not
making
any
honorable
mention
of
them
,
to
the
end
that
they
might
perpetuate
their
memorie
and
fame
to
their
posteritie
,
according
as
they
had
justly
deserued
at
their
hands
whilest
they
liued
.
As
for
my selfe
,
hauing
once
had
the
honour
to
bee
one
of
the
most
illustrious
Prince
HENRY
his
servants
,
and
acknowledging
my selfe
to
be
perpetually
bound
and
addebted
to
his
Highnes
,
so
long
as
my
soule
and
body
shall
be
united
together
,
and
therefore
being
unwilling
to
be
accounted
among
those
ingrate
,
and
as
it
were
disloyall
persons
,
I
haue
gathered
and
set
downe
(
though
somewhat
rudelie
and
confusedlie
)
these
obseruations
following
,
which
doe
containe
diuers
of
his
merrie
and
notable
speeches
,
when
he
was
yet
of
verie
tender
yeares
,
being
infallible
and
certaine
tokens
of
his
great
and
unspeakable
vertues
,
and
of
his
nature
good
in
all
perfection
(
if
any
such
was
euer
found
in
any
Prince
)
which
in
the
meane
while
shall
serue
for
an
abridgment
of
his
life
,
untill
such
time
as
some
other
shall
write
and
set
downe
the
same
more
amply
,
and
in
more
high
and
delicate
termes
.
First
,
concerning
his
behauiour
towards
God
and
Religion
,
there
hath
alwayes
bene
obserued
in
him
rare
tokens
of
a
religious
and
vertuous
disposition
;
as
namelie
,
in
his
deuote
and
reuerent
manner
of
praying
,
and
hearing
of
publicke
Seruice
and
Sermons
;
in
his
perpetuall
refraining
from
oathes
,
and
all
irreligious
and
lasciuious
speaches
,
in
his
reprouing
and
dislyking
of
such
as
haue
been
about
him
,
for
any
undecent
or
vicious
behauior
.
And
chiefly
,
when
they
did
sweare
or
take
the
name
of
God
in
vaine
.
In
so
much
that
being
yet
but
verie
young
,
he
tooke
such
order
,
that
none
of
his
young
Gentlemen
and
Pages
were
taken
with
this
offence
.
And
if
any
had
offended
(
which
did
fall
out
but
seldome
)
he
was
fined
in
some
little
piece
of
money
,
to
be
given
to
the
poore
.
And
for
his
owne
part
(
which
is
more
rare
,
and
almost
impossible
to
great
Princes
)
he
did
never
sweare
all
his
lifetime
.
In
his
behauiour
towards
his
Parents
,
he
was
alwayes
dutifull
and
respectiue
farre
aboue
his
age
,
and
the
maner
of
other
children
:
for
since
he
was
but
two
yeares
old
,
he
both
knew
and
respected
the
King
his
father
aboue
all
others
,
and
neuer
was
wearie
to
be
in
his
companie
:
albeit
his
Majestie
with
the
tokens
of
his
loue
to
him
would
sometimes
interlace
sharpe
speeches
,
and
other
demonstrations
of
fatherlie
severitie
;
yea
his
affection
to
his
Majestie
did
grow
with
his
age
,
for
being
present
on
a
time
at
a
fall
,
which
his
Majestie
had
from
his
horse
,
he
bewailed
this
mischance
(
which
neverthelesse
was
lesse
then
it
was
feared
to
be
)
with
tears
and
speaches
full
of
compassion
and
loue
.
And
likewise
the
respect
which
he
caried
to
them
increased
daylie
,
as
by
this
example
I
shall
breefly
declare
.
His
High
.
one
day
hauing
come
forth
of
S.
Iames
his
house
a
little
before
supper
,
to
walck
in
the
Parck
,
hauing
a
great
number
of
his
Gentlemen
with
him
,
&
seeing
the
Kings
Majestie
a
farre
of
returning
from
his
walk
,
and
comming
towards
him
,
with
a
verie
small
companie
,
he
was
ashamed
,
and
looking
about
him
commanded
his
followers
to
depart
and
goe
no
further
with
him
.
Which
immediatelie
they
did
,
leauing
him
almost
alone
,
and
thus
did
he
meet
the
King
,
not
hauing
past
three
or
foure
to
attend
and
waite
on
him
.
The
same
respect
likewise
did
hee
carie
to
the
Queene
his
Mother
,
as
among
manie
other
things
he
declared
herein
:
for
going
often
to
visit
her
,
and
to
shew
his
humble
and
louing
dutie
towards
her
Majestie
,
and
sometimes
shee
being
busied
,
or
otherwayes
letted
by
her
affaires
,
and
for
this
cause
not
admitting
him
to
her
presence
(
though
inwardly
with
himselfe
he
might
be
displeased
therewith
)
yet
in
show
did
he
never
seeme
to
be
any
wayes
discontended
therewith
,
but
returned
alwayes
to
his
lodging
with
great
patience
,
after
that
he
had
waited
a
long
time
in
vaine
.
His
brotherly
loue
was
likewise
verie
great
,
which
did
euidently
appeare
one
day
,
the
King
being
at
Otlands
,
and
a
false
rumour
being
spred
abroad
,
that
the
Kings
Majestie
was
slaine
,
his
H.
and
the
Duke
of
York
his
brother
,
remaining
then
both
at
S.
Iames
his
house
,
hee
couered
for
that
present
time
his
excessiue
sorow
and
griefe
,
which
he
had
conceaued
inwardly
,
and
called
for
the
Duke
his
brother
in
great
haste
,
that
hee
might
once
see
him
in
safetie
with
himselfe
;
&
thus
went
to
Whitehall
together
to
the
Queen
,
who
had
sent
for
the
Prince
long
before
more
then
once
:
but
he
put
off
his
going
till
he
had
his
brother
to
goe
along
with
him
.
And
as
for
the
Lady
ELIZABETH
his
Sister
,
hee
loued
her
alwayes
so
dearly
,
that
hee
desired
to
see
her
alwayes
by
him
.
And
(
at
least
)
they
did
visite
each
other
once
in
two
dayes
,
if
time
and
occasion
had
serued
,
and
that
they
had
been
any
thing
neare
together
.
Otherwayes
he
did
send
often
to
inquire
of
her
health
,
with
diuers
unfallible
signes
and
tokens
of
his
great
loue
&
affection
towards
them
both
.
In
his
cariage
tovwards
other
persons
,
hee
did
behaue
himselfe
with
such
due
respect
and
discretion
,
as
it
is
rare
to
be
found
in
one
of
his
ranke
and
age
.
He
was
brought
op
even
from
his
cradle
,
by
an
ancient
,
vertuous
and
seuere
Lady
;
to
wit
,
the
olde
Countesse
of
Marre
,
who
kept
all
such
as
were
about
him
in
awe
:
yet
did
hee
not
onely
reverence
her
,
but
also
loue
her
most
dearly
.
Towards
the
right
honorable
the
Earle
of
Marre
,
sonne
to
the
said
Lady
,
who
had
the
principall
charge
and
custodie
of
him
,
he
alwayes
shewed
himselfe
most
louing
and
duetifull
,
in
so
much
as
before
his
comming
to
Engeland
,
the
Earle
deliuering
him
in
presence
of
the
Councell
to
the
charge
of
other
Lordes
appointed
to
wiate
on
him
in
his
journey
,
hee
suddainly
imbracing
the
said
Earle
brust
foorth
into
teares
:
albeit
hee
was
knowen
to
weepe
as
litle
as
any
child
whatsoeuer
.
Next
his
Parents
,
he
was
alwayes
most
loving
to
his
Schoolemaister
Sr.
Adam
Newton
:
notwithstanding
that
the
said
Sr.
Adam
Newton
did
alwayes
preferre
his
owne
dutie
,
and
his
Highnes
well
doing
before
the
pleasing
of
his
fancies
.
I
need
not
record
with
what
courtesie
and
discretion
he
behaued
himselfe
to
all
others
,
seeing
all
that
knew
him
doe
witnesse
the
same
.
The
seeds
and
buddes
of
Princely
Vertues
haue
appeared
in
him
,
euen
from
his
most
tender
yeares
.
His
naturall
inclination
to
Iustice
did
shew
it selfe
continually
;
in
that
amongst
his
Pages
and
other
young
Gentelmen
placed
about
him
,
he
did
most
grace
and
fauour
such
,
as
euen
by
men
of
greatest
judgement
were
thought
to
be
of
best
behauiour
and
desert
,
wherein
also
may
be
perceiued
more
judgement
then
is
incident
to
the
age
of
a
child
.
His
courage
was
alwayes
seene
in
that
he
did
weepe
as
litle
as
any
child
.
When
hee
was
verie
young
hauing
hurt
both
his
hands
with
a
fall
,
in
such
sort
that
they
bledde
:
albeit
the
smart
which
he
felt
wrong
from
him
some
teares
:
yet
did
he
rise
up
in
the
meane
time
smyling
,
and
as
it
were
dissembling
his
hurt
.
At
another
time
he
was
so
hurt
in
the
shin
,
as
it
was
scarcely
cured
in
a
moneth
after
:
yet
being
then
asked
whether
any
thing
ailed
him
,
he
answered
(
nothing
)
and
ran
up
and
downe
playing
him
as
before
.
An
other
token
of
his
courage
was
,
that
being
verie
young
he
tooke
great
delight
in
the
sound
of
Drummes
and
Trumpets
,
yea
and
of
his
Pieces
both
small
and
great
,
beeing
shot
neare
to
him
.
When
he
was
scarcely
seauen
yeares
of
age
,
a
boy
of
good
courage
almost
a
yeare
older
then
his
Highnes
falling
by
accident
to
buffets
with
him
,
and
doing
the
worst
he
could
,
his
Highnes
both
had
the
upperhand
of
him
when
they
were
parted
a
sunder
,
and
loued
the
same
boy
euer
after
the
better
for
his
courage
.
It
was
a
great
token
of
temperance
in
him
,
that
in
his
diet
he
was
naturally
moderate
,
and
lesse
dainty
then
children
use
to
be
,
yea
he
was
easily
persuaded
by
such
,
as
either
for
their
place
about
him
,
or
for
his
opinion
of
their
vertue
and
judgement
had
credit
with
him
,
to
forbeare
either
meate
or
other
thing
,
wherein
he
tooke
greatest
delight
.
In
patience
he
exceeded
all
others
,
as
this
historie
following
doth
amply
declare
;
Being
at
a
certaine
time
at
his
house
of
Woodstock
,
intending
one
day
to
ryde
abroad
a
hunting
betimes
in
the
morning
,
and
the
time
beeing
come
,
and
he
ready
for
his
Bootes
,
his
Shoemaker
by
mischance
had
made
one
of
them
too
strait
,
for
which
cause
divers
that
stood
by
in
the
meane
while
checked
him
very
sharply
,
labouring
with
all
to
stirre
up
his
Highnes
against
him
:
yet
he
would
by
no
meanes
so
do
,
but
verie
coldly
and
mildly
commanded
him
to
go
speedily
,
and
make
it
a
litle
wyder
.
So
he
went
forth
leauing
his
Maister
onely
with
one
boote
,
who
sate
thus
in
his
chaire
for
the
space
of
an
houre
and
more
,
waiting
for
his
Shoemakers
backcomming
,
and
talking
all
the
time
merrilie
with
those
that
were
about
him
,
which
in
the
meane
while
did
shew
themselves
verie
impatient
,
and
would
gladly
haue
had
the
Prince
to
be
the
like
.
At
last
,
the
Shoemaker
hauing
brought
backe
the
Boote
for
his
Highnes
,
not
only
did
he
not
chide
him
,
but
contrariwise
looked
on
him
with
a
cherefull
countenance
,
which
made
them
all
amased
,
together
with
the
Shoemaker
himselfe
;
who
expected
nothing
lesse
then
such
a
fauorable
aspect
,
and
came
all
sweating
and
trembling
for
feare
(
as
he
had
verie
good
cause
to
do
.
)
Did
he
not
herein
vanquish
and
surmount
himselfe
?
He
promised
nothing
rashly
or
unaduisedly
to
any
one
:
but
if
once
hee
had
been
induced
to
ingadge
himselfe
any
wayes
,
hee
would
be
sure
to
performe
what
once
hee
had
promised
,
which
by
this
example
is
manifest
.
One
of
his
houshold
seruants
,
to
whom
he
had
promised
a
better
place
then
that
which
he
then
possessed
,
and
with
time
had
forgotten
the
same
promise
,
and
this
servant
labouring
hard
with
his
Highnes
by
the
meanes
of
his
friends
to
attaine
to
the
place
that
was
promised
to
him
,
the
time
being
then
veri
fit
and
convenient
for
the
performing
thereof
.
At
first
he
denied
that
euer
he
had
promised
any
such
thing
,
hauing
with
time
quite
forgotten
the
mater
:
but
in
end
his
handwrit
being
produced
,
and
the
promise
signed
with
his
owne
hand
,
hee
confessed
his
fault
freely
,
and
immediatly
without
any
delay
caused
him
to
be
sworne
in
the
place
,
wich
he
had
promised
to
him
.
Howbeit
this
illustrious
Prince
in
diuers
particular
actions
did
testifie
both
his
great
charitie
and
liberalitie
,
as
towards
the
poore
and
indigent
,
towards
his
domesticall
seruants
and
others
,
and
by
contributing
largelie
towards
the
building
and
reparation
of
Churches
,
and
manie
other
workes
:
yet
I
will
only
produce
these
three
testimonies
of
his
liberalitie
.
The
first
is
,
concerning
that
wich
he
gave
to
a
certaine
straunger
a
Frenchman
by
nation
,
who
stiled
himselfe
the
Kings
Professor
of
the
French
tongue
,
and
had
indeed
some
little
pension
of
his
Majestie
for
this
same
purpose
.
This
Professor
,
hauing
crept
into
some
favour
with
the
Prince
his
Chamberleyne
,
prevailed
with
him
so
farre
,
that
at
last
hee
persuaded
him
to
speake
to
his
Highnes
for
him
,
that
he
might
haue
some
litle
pension
graunted
to
him
,
as
he
had
of
his
Majestie
which
at
first
his
Hs
:
would
not
graunt
,
saying
,
that
he
had
nothing
to
do
with
him
.
Notwitstanding
Mr:
Chamberleyne
following
closse
his
sute
,
and
beseeching
him
to
take
some
pittie
on
him
,
sith
he
was
a
stranger
,
and
had
but
small
meanes
to
liue
on
,
his
Hs:
at
length
answered
,
saying
;
Howbeit
I
am
no
wayes
bound
to
giue
him
any
thing
:
yet
to
do
you
pleasure
,
and
because
he
is
a
stranger
and
a
Frenchman
,
I
shall
giue
him
what
you
shall
think
fit
;
and
within
a
short
time
after
he
gaue
him
such
a
pension
,
as
pleased
him
verie
well
.
The
second
testimony
is
this
;
A
good
Poët
,
and
right
honest
man
,
presenting
him
a
small
poëme
,
he
receiued
it
verie
graciouslie
,
and
willed
a
Gentleman
that
had
his
purse
,
to
bestow
on
him
some
token
of
his
gracious
acceptance
;
the
Gentleman
asking
him
whether
a
couple
of
Iacobus
would
not
serue
.
Fy
for
shame
(
said
his
Highnes
)
give
him
at
least
ten
pieces
.
The
third
was
,
that
some
few
weekes
before
his
sicknes
,
considering
wiselie
,
that
some
of
his
cheef
Gentlemen
,
which
were
in
eminent
places
,
and
neare
to
his
person
,
had
but
small
meanes
to
maintaine
the
rank
and
place
they
were
in
,
to
cherish
them
in
this
their
want
,
and
make
them
goe
on
the
more
cheerfully
in
their
seruice
,
and
moreouer
that
they
might
not
pretend
that
they
were
driuen
through
any
necessity
,
to
be
importune
in
begging
of
such
suits
at
his
Highnes
,
as
could
not
conveniently
be
graunted
;
he
provided
them
with
honest
&
reasonable
pensions
during
their
liues
,
and
if
he
had
lived
a
litle
longer
,
intended
to
proceed
further
in
this
kinde
of
bounteous
and
provident
liberality
:
but
being
prevented
by
untimely
death
,
none
of
these
worthy
projects
could
take
any
effect
.
This
is
a
notable
example
both
of
his
liberality
,
and
of
his
wary
and
Princely
providence
.
He
was
exceeding
magnifick
and
stately
in
all
his
doings
,
and
principally
in
feasting
of
great
persones
,
such
as
was
the
young
Duke
of
Brounswick
,
the
young
Landgrave
of
Hasse
,
the
Duke
of
Wirtemberg
and
others
,
which
he
feasted
most
royally
,
giuing
them
all
maner
of
contentment
,
that
they
could
haue
desired
of
him
.
And
about
some
foure
moneths
before
his
death
;
at
his
house
of
Wootstock
he
made
such
a
sumptuous
and
great
feast
to
the
Kings
Majestie
his
Father
,
that
after
his
Majestie
had
considered
&
vewed
well
the
tables
and
meates
set
thereon
,
his
Gentlemen
and
Servants
richly
apparelled
and
in
good
order
,
and
all
things
in
his
house
well
ordered
and
gouerned
,
without
any
disorder
or
confusion
,
was
so
much
amased
at
the
sight
thereof
,
that
he
was
forced
to
say
,
that
he
had
neuer
seen
the
like
before
all
his
lifetime
,
and
that
he
could
neuer
doe
so
much
in
his
owne
house
.
Concerning
his
apparell
,
he
loued
to
goe
handsome
and
well
cloathed
:
yet
without
any
maner
of
superfluity
or
excesse
.
But
as
for
his
seruants
and
Gentlemen
that
were
neare
to
his
person
,
he
was
some
what
more
curious
,
taking
pleasure
to
see
them
goe
richly
apparelled
.
Which
he
declared
sufficiently
by
this
example
▪
A
certaine
Gentleman
,
who
had
served
him
a
long
time
before
,
and
with
others
was
placed
about
him
in
his
minority
by
the
Kings
Majestie
,
being
with
the
rest
of
his
houshold
Servants
to
be
sworne
to
him
ouer
againe
at
the
taking
up
of
his
house
(
at
which
time
he
had
free
liberty
to
chuse
such
Seruants
as
pleased
him
best
)
he
gaue
way
to
the
receauing
of
all
the
rest
,
saue
only
this
Gentleman
,
whom
he
forbade
to
sweare
,
untill
such
time
as
his
Father
had
promised
to
apparrell
him
better
in
time
comming
;
and
as
it
was
fitting
for
his
place
.
Which
his
Father
hauing
once
promised
to
doe
,
at
length
after
that
all
the
rest
were
sworne
,
he
gaue
order
likewise
to
admit
him
to
his
place
.
He
desired
also
,
to
haue
good
attendance
of
his
Seruants
,
and
to
be
well
serued
,
as
it
may
appeare
by
this
following
.
One
of
his
Sewers
comming
one
day
a
litle
too
late
to
wait
,
when
his
Highnes
had
already
almost
half
dined
,
he
was
asked
by
him
,
whence
he
came
so
late
?
He
answered
,
that
it
was
not
yet
eleuen
of
the
clocke
(
saying
so
because
his
maister
dined
commonly
at
that
houre
,
and
no
sooner
.
)
The
Prince
answered
him
againe
,
that
he
would
not
be
serued
at
an
appointed
houre
only
,
but
at
all
times
.
His
modest
disposition
,
and
naturall
hating
of
vaine
ostentation
,
began
to
shewe
it selfe
,
when
he
was
verie
young
.
For
being
taught
to
handle
the
Pike
,
and
his
Teacher
instructing
him
both
by
word
and
example
to
use
an
affected
kind
of
statelinesse
in
marching
and
holding
of
his
hand
,
he
learned
all
other
points
of
him
soo
well
(
as
all
men
know
:
)
but
in
no
wayes
would
he
frame
himselfe
to
that
affected
maner
.
And
if
sometimes
upon
earnest
intreaty
he
did
offer
to
use
it
,
he
would
lanch
at
himselfe
,
and
presently
returne
to
his
owne
more
modest
and
comelie
maner
.
And
whereas
he
had
learned
to
daunce
soo
wel
as
none
of
his
age
being
of
a
Princelie
ranke
or
degree
could
doe
it
better
:
yet
neuer
tooke
he
much
delight
therein
,
nor
offered
himself
to
daunce
,
but
was
for
the
most
part
intreated
thereto
by
others
.
The
like
modestie
was
seen
in
whatsoeuer
he
did
or
spake
:
yet
was
this
his
modestie
no
hinderance
to
his
heroïcall
and
generous
disposition
,
which
made
him
to
performe
all
his
exercises
best
,
before
most
companie
,
and
greatest
personages
;
as
namely
he
neuer
tossed
his
Pyke
better
then
in
presence
of
his
Majestie
and
great
Ambassadours
,
of
whom
was
the
Constable
of
Castile
.
From
his
generous
mind
it
proceeded
,
that
he
delighted
in
handling
of
his
armes
,
and
in
such
other
manly
and
martiall
exercises
:
hence
also
did
arise
his
affection
to
learning
:
wherein
he
so
well
profited
,
as
I
haue
not
heard
of
manie
Princes
of
his
age
that
could
doe
better
.
In
quicke
apprehension
and
memorie
few
of
his
age
went
beyond
him
:
but
none
in
judgement
&
understanding
of
that
which
was
taught
him
.
When
he
beganne
to
haue
some
knowledge
of
the
Latine
tongue
,
being
admonished
to
chuse
himselfe
a
Posie
out
of
sundrie
sentences
gathered
by
his
scholemaister
for
this
use
,
he
read
many
that
were
good
,
but
passed
ouer
them
without
chusing
till
he
came
to
this
sentence
of
Silius
Italicus
:
Fax
mentis
honestae
gloria
,
Renowne
is
a
furtherer
of
an-honest
mind
:
whereof
himselfe
made
choise
.
And
to
say
the
truth
,
none
among
them
all
did
better
fit
him
.
The
Kings
Majestie
asking
him
,
which
were
best
verses
that
he
had
learned
in
the
first
booke
of
Aeneides
,
he
answered
;
These
,
Rex
erat
Aenaeas
nobis
,
quo
justior
alter
Nec
pietate
fuit
,
nec
bello
major
&
armis
.
In
English
;
We
had
a
King
Aeneas
cald
,
a
juster
was
there
none
,
In
vertue
,
or
in
faites
of
warre
,
or
armes
could
match
him
one
.
Which
indeed
is
a
most
excellent
commendation
,
concerning
the
three
principall
Vertues
of
a
worthy
Prince
to
Wit
,
Pietie
,
Iustice
,
and
Valour
.
Reading
this
vers
;
Tros
Rutilusve
fuat
nullo
discrimine
habebo
,
Be
it
Trojan
or
Italian
he
,
no
difference
will
I
make
.
He
sayd
himselfe
would
make
use
of
the
same
,
changing
it
thus
;
Anglus
Scotusve
fuat
nullo
discrimine
habebo
.
Be
it
English
or
Scot
he
,
no
differens
will
I
make
.
In
which
change
he
respected
the
commendable
qualities
of
unpartiall
judgement
and
affection
,
&
not
the
qualities
of
the
verse
,
which
he
knew
to
be
erroneous
.
I
come
nowe
to
the
rehearsall
of
sundry
of
his
pleasant
and
witty
speaches
,
during
his
young
and
tender
yeares
,
wherein
the
pregnancie
of
his
witt
,
and
vertuous
disposition
doe
appeare
.
When
he
was
but
a
little
past
seaven
yeares
of
age
,
a
sonne
of
the
Earle
of
Marre
,
something
younger
then
himselfe
falling
out
with
one
of
his
Pages
,
to
whom
(
as
his
Highnes
was
informed
)
he
had
done
some
little
wrong
,
he
reproued
him
therefore
,
saying
;
I
loue
you
,
because
you
are
my
Lords
Sonne
and
my
Kousin
:
but
if
you
be
not
better
conditioned
,
I
will
loue
such
a
one
better
,
naming
the
childe
that
complained
of
him
.
The
first
time
that
hee
went
out
of
the
towne
of
Stirling
to
meet
the
King
,
seeing
a
little
without
the
gate
of
the
towne
a
stake
of
corne
in
proportion
to
a
topp
,
wherewith
he
had
wont
to
play
,
he
said
to
some
that
were
with
him
;
Loe
there
a
goodly
topp
,
whereupon
one
of
them
saying
,
why
doe
you
not
then
play
with
it
?
He
answered
;
sett
you
it
to
me
,
and
I
will
play
with
it
.
Being
asked
very
young
what
Instruments
of
Musicke
hee
liked
best
,
he
answered
,
a
Trumpet
.
On
a
time
that
he
saw
some
hunting
on
a
Deere
,
being
asked
,
whether
he
loved
that
hunting
well
?
He
answered
;
yes
,
but
I
loue
another
kinde
of
hunting
better
.
One
asking
him
,
what
maner
of
hunting
that
was
?
hee
answered
;
hunting
of
theeues
and
rebelles
with
braue
men
and
horses
.
And
turning
him
to
one
of
his
Pages
descended
of
Highland
Parents
,
who
were
bruted
to
be
theeues
,
he
added
;
and
such
theeues
as
I
take
shall
be
hanged
,
the
great
ones
higher
then
the
rest
,
and
you
Sirra
(
if
you
bee
a
theefe
)
highest
of
all
.
Once
in
his
childhood
,
in
a
merry
humour
taking
up
Strawberies
with
two
spoones
,
when
one
might
suffice
,
hee
said
;
the
one
I
use
as
a
Rappier
,
and
the
other
as
a
Dagger
.
Being
asked
of
a
Nobleman
,
whether
after
his
Father
hee
had
rather
be
King
of
England
or
Schotland
?
he
demanded
,
whether
of
them
was
best
?
and
answere
being
made
,
that
it
was
England
,
then
(
said
he
)
would
I
haue
both
.
A
controversy
for
sport
being
stirred
up
by
the
King
his
Majesty
betwixt
two
,
the
one
of
whom
,
seruing
him
in
good
place
by
a
nickname
was
called
a
Tailler
,
and
loued
very
well
his
liquor
,
the
other
was
knowne
to
bee
a
tall
Trencherman
,
they
were
both
neare
falling
together
by
the
eares
,
when
as
the
Prince
was
willed
by
the
King
to
make
an
agreement
betweene
them
,
which
agreement
,
some
that
were
by
said
,
must
be
written
and
sealed
by
them
:
Whereunto
the
Prince
answered
;
then
must
W.
M.
(
this
was
he
which
hath
the
nickename
of
a
taillor
)
seal
it
with
chalke
,
for
he
can
not
write
his
name
,
and
then
I
will
agree
them
,
upon
condition
that
M.
G.
(
this
was
the
tall
Trencherman
)
goe
into
the
celler
,
and
drinke
with
W.
M.
and
that
W.
M.
make
a
cloakbag
for
M.
G.
to
cary
his
victuals
in
.
Eating
in
the
Kings
presence
a
dish
of
Milk
,
his
Majesty
asked
him
,
why
he
eated
so
much
childes
meat
?
Sir
,
quot
he
,
it
is
mans
meate
also
.
And
immediatly
after
fed
well
of
a
Partrich
,
the
King
said
to
him
,
that
meate
will
make
you
a
coward
.
Whereunto
he
answered
,
though
it
be
a
cowardly
bird
,
yet
it
shall
not
make
me
a
coward
.
The
King
asking
him
whether
hee
loved
Englishmen
or
Frenchmen
better
?
hee
answered
,
Englishmen
.
The
King
demanded
the
cause
thereof
;
because
,
said
he
,
I
am
a
kin
to
moe
noble
persones
of
England
,
then
of
Fraunce
,
Then
the
King
asked
him
,
whether
he
loued
the
English
or
the
Germanes
better
,
hee
answered
;
the
English
.
Whereunto
the
King
replying
,
that
his
Mother
was
a
German
,
hee
answered
;
Sir
,
you
are
the
cause
thereof
.
At
the
same
time
,
his
Majestie
asked
him
upon
some
mention
made
of
Queene
Elisabeth
,
whether
she
had
anie
children
;
he
answered
,
hee
understoode
of
none
.
And
hath
she
none
(
said
the
King
)
that
may
bee
called
her
sonne
?
hee
said
yes
Sir
,
your selfe
:
and
who
nixt
after
me
,
said
his
Majestie
?
Sir
(
said
he
)
your
Sonne
.
Another
standing
by
,
saying
,
that
was
Duke
Charles
:
no
(
Sir
)
said
his
Highnes
,
it
must
bee
the
eldest
,
wherein
his
discretion
and
modestie
in
not
once
naming
himselfe
,
is
worth
the
noting
.
On
a
certaine
time
his
Highnes
wearing
white
shoes
,
one
that
resorted
sometimes
to
him
,
said
,
that
he
longed
to
kisse
his
feete
:
whereunto
his
Highnes
answered
;
Sir
,
I
am
not
the
Pope
.
The
other
replying
,
that
he
would
not
kisse
the
Popes
foote
,
unles
it
were
to
byte
off
his
great
too
,
his
H
●
:
answered
;
if
you
were
in
Rome
;
you
would
be
gladde
to
kisse
his
feete
,
without
byting
of
his
great
too
.
Some
one
reporting
to
him
,
how
the
French
King
had
saide
,
that
as
wel
his
Bastard
as
the
Bastard
of
Normandie
might
conquere
England
:
I
will
bee
at
eares
with
him
(
said
his
Highnes
)
if
he
go
about
any
such
matter
.
Some
of
his
Seruants
running
to
breake
their
faste
,
and
returning
after
a
quicke
dispatch
,
being
asked
what
they
had
been
doing
,
said
they
:
Wee
were
at
our
disiune
.
One
,
who
stood
by
,
said
,
that
word
is
French
,
and
that
the
right
English
was
breakfast
,
it
may
so
bee
called
indeede
(
said
his
Highnes
)
for
you
breakefast
to
it
.
It
being
told
him
by
some
of
his
seruants
in
a
house
where
once
he
lay
,
how
some
of
them
had
gone
to
bedd
without
their
supper
,
through
the
fault
of
some
pinching
Officers
of
the
house
,
he
seemed
at
that
instant
to
take
no
great
notice
:
but
the
Lady
of
the
house
the
nixt
day
comming
to
visit
him
,
whiles
he
was
turning
a
booke
that
had
manie
pictures
,
whereof
one
was
of
some
that
were
painted
sitting
at
a
feast
,
he
said
to
her
;
Madame
,
I
inuite
you
to
a
feast
.
She
smiling
asked
him
,
Wat
feast
it
was
?
he
answered
;
to
this
feast
.
What
(
said
she
)
to
a
painted
feast
?
No
better
is
that
,
said
he
,
which
is
made
in
this
house
to
some
about
mee
.
One
,
who
was
present
,
and
had
heard
his
Seruants
complaine
before
:
yet
not
guessing
what
he
meaned
asked
him
if
he
understoode
not
that
of
some
persones
figured
in
the
Tapistrie
of
the
Chamber
,
no
(
said
he
)
you
know
well
enough
who
I
meane
.
In
Sir
Thomas
Sommerset
and
Sir
Henry
Goodyeares
presence
a
litle
before
his
iourney
to
England
,
the
Earle
of
Marre
said
unto
him
;
Sir
,
you
heare
how
goodly
and
how
rich
a
countrey
England
is
:
yet
(
Sir
)
considering
that
you
haue
been
borne
and
brought
up
in
Scotland
,
if
I
may
be
so
bold
,
let
me
aske
you
,
which
of
both
countreys
you
loue
best
?
Whereunto
he
answered
;
My
Lord
,
after
I
haue
been
there
a
while
I
will
tell
you
.
One
,
who
was
fatt
and
corpulent
,
being
by
a
Nobleman
recommended
to
his
Majestie
for
a
good
huntsman
:
yet
(
said
his
Highnes
standing
by
)
it
seemeth
thereby
that
he
loueth
Venison
verie
well
.
Whill
he
was
telling
a
certaine
Nobleman
something
that
he
could
haue
done
,
but
that
his
Schoolemaister
was
the
cause
why
he
did
it
not
:
one
who
had
some
credit
about
him
,
mistaking
what
he
said
,
as
if
he
would
haue
layde
some
fault
committed
by
himselfe
upon
his
Tutor
,
said
to
the
Nobleman
;
It
is
the
Prince
his
maner
to
lay
his
owne
fault
upon
others
.
Hereat
the
Prince
smyling
taxed
his
impertinency
,
saying
,
Sir
,
indeed
I
might
haue
learned
that
lesson
of
you
.
A
certaine
courtly
and
merrily
conceipted
Lady
,
who
had
a
husband
,
whom
shee
could
not
well
enjoy
in
presence
of
as
pleasant
a
conceipted
Gentleman
,
who
was
then
a
widower
,
jesting
with
his
Highnes
,
requested
him
,
that
he
would
send
her
beyond
Seas
in
ambassage
,
to
court
a
certaine
Prince
his
daughter
for
him
.
Marry
,
(
said
his
Highnes
)
I
am
contented
so
to
doe
,
upon
condition
,
that
,
when
your
husband
shall
die
you
marry
this
Gentleman
,
who
being
well
trauelled
and
languaged
,
will
serue
you
for
a
good
guyde
.
His
Schoolemaister
to
cherish
his
generous
spirit
,
and
surenes
in
uttering
his
conceips
,
did
giue
him
liberty
of
jesting
pleasantly
with
himselfe
,
offering
him
sometimes
occasion
thereof
;
as
once
when
the
Prince
was
plaing
at
the
Shoufleboord
,
and
in
his
play
changed
sundry
pieces
,
his
Tutor
being
desirous
that
euen
in
trifles
he
should
not
be
newfangled
,
said
to
him
,
that
he
did
ill
to
change
so
oft
,
and
therewith
taking
a
piece
in
his
hand
,
and
saying
that
he
would
play
well
enough
therewith
without
changing
,
threw
the
piece
on
the
boord
:
yet
not
so
well
,
but
that
the
Prince
smyling
,
said
;
well
throwne
Maister
.
Whereupon
Sir
Adam
Newton
telling
him
,
that
he
would
not
striue
with
a
Prince
at
shufleboord
.
He
answered
;
you
Gownemen
should
bee
best
at
such
exercises
:
being
not
meet
for
those
that
are
more
stirring
.
Yes
,
answered
Sir
Adam
Newton
,
I
am
fit
for
whipping
of
boyes
.
The
Prince
answered
,
you
need
not
vaunt
of
that
which
a
Ploughman
or
Carman
can
do
better
then
you
.
Yet
can
I
doe
more
(
said
Sir
Adam
Newton
)
I
can
governe
foolish
children
.
The
Prince
,
respecting
him
euen
in
jesting
,
came
from
the
further
end
of
the
table
,
and
smyling
,
said
,
whilest
he
passed
by
him
;
hee
had
need
to
be
a
wise
man
himselfe
that
would
doe
that
.
At
another
time
,
playing
at
Gauffe
(
a
play
not
unlike
to
Palemaille
,
whilest
his
Schoolmaister
stood
by
talking
with
another
,
and
not
marking
his
Highnes
,
warning
him
to
stand
further
off
,
the
Prince
thinking
he
had
gone
aside
,
lifted
up
his
club
to
strike
the
ball
;
In
the
meane
time
one
standing
by
,
said
to
him
;
Be
ware
(
Sir
)
you
bit
not
Sir
Adam
Newton
.
Wherewith
hee
drawing
backe
his
hand
,
said
;
had
I
done
so
,
I
had
but
payed
my
debts
.
His
Schoolemaister
,
hauing
laid
a
wager
with
him
,
that
he
could
not
refraine
from
standing
with
his
backe
to
the
fire
,
and
seeing
him
forget
himselfe
once
or
twice
in
standing
after
that
maner
,
said
to
him
,
Sir
,
the
wager
is
wonne
;
for
you
haue
failed

Maister

answered
his

then

and
hitting

the
Chitlecock
on

forehead
;
this
is
(
said
his
Highnes
)
the
encounter
of
David
with
Golias
.
A
young
man
,
not
very
staid
or
discreete
himselfe
,
taxed
another
,
and
saying
,
there
was
no

liuing
more
fantasticall
,
Except

said
his
Highnes
.
)
Learning

tooke

His
teacher
saying
,
that
already
he
had
taught
him
.
What
(
sayeth
his
Highnes
,
jeasting
with
him
)
will
you
not
learne
of
your
Maister
?
Hereat
the
other
ashamed
,
said
;
Sir
,
I
might
rather
learne
of
him
.
Then
(
said
his
Highnes
)
he
is
sufficient
to
teach
me
.
One
said
to
him
looking
on
a
coffer
painted
on
a
wall
,
Sir
,
open
that
coffer
,
and
bestow
some
gift
on

.
Whereunto
his
Highnes
answered
;
Finde
you

keye
to
open

,
and
I
will
doe
so
.
On

he
was
walking

of
the

,
one

him
,
that
the
Sunne
would
scorce
his
face
.
To
whom
he
answered
;
It
is
no
matter
,
I
am
not
a
woman
.
Another
telling
him
,
that
his
face
was
already
scorcht
with
the
Sunne
,
put
it
then
away
from
me
(
said
his
Highnes

)
A

his

Whereat
the

,
and
saying
that
he
cared
not
for

,
his
Highnes
jeasting

To

The

A

Not

The

wish
,
how
can
it
be
great
(
said
his
Highnes
)
whenas
you
value
it
but
at
a
crowne
?
The
same
man
,
looking
at
a
picture
something
lasciuiously
made
,
and
some
saying
that
he
blushed
,
others
,
that
hee
blushed
not
thereat
,
his
Highnes
jeasting
at
his

Pull

At
Greenwich
his
Highnes
missing
at
his
table
some
meate

he
fancied

wont
to
haue

and

the

Once

,
some

whilst

,
how
an

Officer
had
refused
to

said
he
)
there

then
of

,
his

,
without

,
looking
to
a
Trout
that
he
had
disposed
to

of
,
and
seeing
no
vineger
on
the
table
,
asked
,
is
there
no
allowance
of

neither
?
Some
Abricots
being
sent
to
him
,
he
presented
them
to
the
Kings
Majesty
,
who
tasting
of
them
,
and
saying

his

Whereupon
the
Doctor
asking
him
,
whether
Treasure
were
to
be
compared
with
Wisdome
?
His
Highnes
answered
him
with
another
demaund
,
to
wit
,
whether
he
had
rather
haue
more
wisdome
and
learning
,
or
a

?
His
Physician
telling
him
that
it
was
unwholsome
for
him
to

his
Highnes
answered
;

His

;
on
a
time
when
he
tossed

Whereat
his
Highnes
telling
him
his
faults
,
jeasted
with
him
,
which
his
said
schoolmaister
misliking
in
some
maner
,
said
;
that
it
was
an
euill
humor
.
Maister
,
said
his
Highnes
:
I
take
that
humor
of
you
.
His
Schoolemaister
replying
that
it
became
not
a
Prince
.
Then
doth
it
worse
become
a
Princes
Schoolemaister
,
said
his
Highnes
.
An
old
man
some
what
cholerick
,
who
taught
him
to
daunce
,
finding
fault
with
him
and
other
young
Noblemen
,
for
failing
in
the
measures
,
and
taxing
them
as
careles
boyes
,
his
Highnes
said
unto
him
;
Remember

Hauing

,
offering

to
sucke
the

some

his
former
jeast
,
asked
him
,
what
became
of
the
blood
Royall
,
that
he
hath
already
sucked
?
and
he
answered
,
that
it
was
at
his
hart
.
It
seemes
so
indeed
(
said
his
Highnes
)
for
it
hath
lately
made
you
a
Iustice
of

.
Note
,
that
a
few
dayes
before
hee
came
to
that
preferment
.
His
Highnes
once
playing
him
after
the
maner
of
children
,
his
Schoolmaister
desirous
to
draw
him
to
some
more
manlike

;
God

his

added
;
that

His
Scholemaister
saying
,
that
he
had
one

the
Prince
thereto
answered
,
But

if
I
had

)
would
gouerne
your

and
by

meanes
would
gouerne
both
you

On
a
time
for

he
bestowed
not
a
few
Plumbs
that
hee
was
eating
,
on
some
of
his
young
noblemen
,
his
tutor
taxing
him
merrily
,
as
not
being
liberall

,
Maister
(
said
his
Highnes
)
when
you
come
to
my
house
,
you
shall
finde
me
liberall
enough
.
Whereupon
his
Tutor
saying
,
I
had
rather
entertaine
your
Highnes
at
my
house
,
if
I
had
one
,
whereas
now
I
haue
a
wife
,
and
no
house
for
her
.
His
Highnes
answered
,
that
is
not
my
fault
.
Mention
being
made
of
the
mariage
of
some
of
his
young
Gentlemen
,
his

I

I
wish

A

another

Traueller
said
,
that
hee
would
leaue
the
report
of
such
strange
wonders
to
him
that
was
a
Traueller
.
Nay
(
said
his
Highnes
)
this
priuiledge
is
rather
due
to
him
who
is
a
Poët
.
A
Gentleman
,
taxing
his
Highnes
somewhat
undiscreetly
for
some
pleasant
and
merry
sports
and
gesture
,
which
on
a

said
;
that
he
resembled
a

Ape
.
And

said
his
Highnes
)
a

The

man
affirming
eftsoons
a
thing
,
which
his
Highnes
with
better
reason
denied
,
I
yeeld
to
you
(
said
his
Highnes
)
for
it
must
bee
as
you
will
haue
it
.
At
another
time
,
the
same
man
going
about
in
an
angry
mood
to
disproue
somewhat
that
his
Highnes
had
spoken

Say

sayd
his

)
I

:
another
who
stood

commended
him
for

;
Could

only
left
a
tuffe
of
haire
on
his
forehead
,
being
asked
by
some
,
why
he
kept
that
tuffe
?
It
is
(
said
his
Highnes
)
to
the
end
that
Mahomet
may
pull
him
up
to
Heaven
thereby
.
The
Marquis
of
S.
German
,
asking
him
whether
he
had
rather
be
a
hunting
then
at
his
Booke
,
his
Hs
:
said
;
he
might
well
resolue
that
doubt
himselfe
:
for
he
had
once
been
of
his
age
.
As
hee
was
tossing
a
little
rodd
in
manner
of
a
Pike
,
his
Schoolmaister
to
taxe
him
of
trifling
,
said
in
jeasting
manner
,
that
Alexander
the
great
,
being
of
his
age
,
used
the
same
kind
of
exercice
.
And
his
Maister
Aristotle
(
said
the
Prince
)
had
his
beard
trimmed
after
the
same
manner
that
yours

Note
,
that
the
Barber
had
been
with
him
the
morning
or
euening
before
.
One
telling
him
of
abuses
committed
by
some
kinde
of
men
,
whereof
he
named
but
such
as
were
dead
;
You
doe
wisely
,
said
his
Highnes
,
to
name
onely
such
as
are
dead
.
Being
told
how
one
of
his
Seruants
contrary
to
his
direction
had
done
somewhat
,
and
a
Gentleman
going
about
to
excuse
him
,
his
Hs:
said
;
Eyther
shall
I
be
Maister
,
or

Maisterles
.
Hauing
desired
the
Officers
of
his
House
to
furnish
plenty
of
wine
and
beere
to
a
great
number
of
his
Seruants
and
others
,
that
daunced
and
sported
them
about
a
bonfire
,
at
his
Sisters
birth
,
and
some
good
store
of
pottes
of
wine
and
jacks
of
beere
being
brought
forth
,
his
Highnes
thinking
it
to
bee
too
little
,
said
:
he
would
haue
a
Hogshead
of
wine
,
and
another
of
beere
.
The
Officers
making
some
difficulty
thereat
,
and
saying
,
there
was
enough
,
his
Highnes
compelled
them
to
obey
him
,
saying
;
Whether
am
I
Maister
in
mine
owne
house
or
you
(
Sirs
?
)
A
Gentleman
his
Seruant
,
who
had
been
sometimes
a
Lawyer
,
speaking
earnestly
and
lowdly
in
excusing
some
whom
his
High
.
would
haue
corrected
for
their
faults
,
his
Hs
:
said
to
him
;
Remember
(
Sir
)
you
are
not
now
pleading
at
the
Barre
.
One
of
his
Seruants
accustomed
much
to
the
wearing
of
scarfes
,
excusing
himselfe
that
he
might
not
play
at
Basse
with
his
Highnes
:
by
reason
of
a
sore
legge
.
Why
then
,
said
his
Highnes
,
doe
you
not
bind
up
your
legge
with
a
scarfe
?
It
being
the
custome
of
his
Highnes
and
the
young
Noblemen
about
him
to
tell
euery
one
an
History
by
turne
,
all
of
them
deliuering
some
obseruation
upon
the
Historie
told
,
one
of
them
recounted
how
Papirius
Cursor
,
a
seuere
and
rigorous
Commander
among
the
Romanes
,
commaunded
the
executioner
to
bring
forth
the
axe
,
as
it
were
to
behead
a
certaine
Captaine
,
for
comming
thorow
feare
too
late
to
the
field
,
and
he
looking
for
no
other
then
present
death
,
the
said
Papirius
hauing
thus
terrified
him
,
said
to
the
executioner
;
Cutt
up
this
roote
,
that
it
may
not
hinder
our
walking
,
and
so
laying
a
fine
on
the
Captaine
,
dismissed
him
.
His
Highnes
being
desired
by
his
Schoolmaister
to
declare
his
obseruation
hereupon
,
said
;
The
Observation
that
I
gather
hence
,
is
,
that
as
Papirius
was
not
so
terrible
as
hee
threatned
,
so
will
you
not
likewise
be
in
keeping
me
all
after
noone
at
my
book
,
as
you
haue
threatned
to
doe
.
He
tooke
great
delight
in
ryding
of
great
horses
,
and
laboured
to
haue
of
the
best
and
rarest
horses
that
were
to
be
found
,
and
had
such
care
of
them
,
that
he
went
often
to
the
stables
to
see
them
,
and
accounted
them
to
be
a
part
of
his
best
Iewels
,
as
on
a
time
he
declared
euidently
.
For
hauing
sent
one
of
the
best
that
he
had
,
and
which
he
loued
dearly
(
named
Pied-Admirall
)
to
the
Duke
of
Brounswick
his
Cousin
,
who
had
been
farre
in
loue
with
him
during
the
time
that
he
sejourned
in
England
,
and
one
of
his
Seruants
,
who
had
gone
ouer
with
the
horse
to
the
Duke
,
hauing
brought
backe
from
him
to
his
Highnes
for
a
token
a
certaine
booke
full
of
pictures
of
horses
,
with
such
furniture
as
belonged
to
them
;
after
that
he
had
some
what
slightly
,
and
as
it
were
in
disdaine
turned
ouer
some
of
the
leaues
thereof
,
he
uttered
this
speeches
before
the
said
Seruant
,
and
all
that
stood
by
;
I
would
rather
haue
my
Pied-Admirall
againe
aliue
then
all
these
painted
beasts
.
I
had
almost
forgotten
his
Barriers
,
which
I
will
heare
set
downe
after
his
witty
and
pleasant
speeches
.
The
sixteenth
yeare
of
his
age
,
being
come
the
time
of
his
inuestment
in
the
Principality
of
Walles
,
and
Cornuall
,
he
did
aduance
his
owne
Title
and
Right
,
so
farre
as
with
modesty
he
might
:
which
presently
was
gently
and
louingly
entertained
,
and
graunted
of
his
Majesty
,
with
the
consent
of
the
right
honorable
the
high

of

Iune
following

being

.
The

before
which
,
his
Highnes
not
only
for
his
owne
,
recreation
but
also
that
the
world
might
know
what
a
braue
Prince
they
were
likely
to
enjoy
,
under
the
name
of
Meliades
Lord
of
the
Isles
(
an
ancient
title
due
to
the
first
borne
of
Scotland
,
)
did
in
his

by
some

the
Knights
of
Great
Britaine
in
two
speeches
,
the
relation
whereof
were
out
of
purpose
:
but
the
summe
was
;
That
Meliades
their
noble
Maister
boyling
withan
earnest
desire
to
try
the
valour
of
his
young
yeares
in
forraine
countreys
,
and
to
know
where
Vertue
and
Valour
Triumphed
most
,
had
sent
them
abroad
to

who
after
their
long

in
all

and
returne
,
shewing
how
now
here
in
any
continent
;
saue
in
the
fortunate
Isle
of
Great
Britaine
,
they
had
found
his
wishes
,
which
ministring
mater
of
exceeding
joy
to
their
young
Meliades
,
who
as
they
said
,
could
lineally
deriue
his
pedegree
from
the
famous
Kings
of
this
Isle
)
was
the
cause
that
he
now
sent
to
present
the
first
fruits
of
his
chevalry
at
his
Majestyes
feet
,
thereafter
turning
with
a
short
speech
to
her
Majestye
,
next
to
the
Earles
,
Lordes
,
and
Knights
,
excusing
their
Lord
in
this
their
short
and
suddaine
warning
,
and
lastly
to
the
Ladies
,
they
,
after
humble
deliuery
of
their

,
concerning

,
place
,
conditions
,
number
of
weapons
,
and
assaillaunts
,
tooke
their
leaue
,
departing
solemnly
as
they
entred
.
Now
began
euery
where

to
be
made
for

,
and

did
he
think

The

great
wonder
of
all
the
beholders
,
did
admirably
fight
his

,
giuing
and
receiuing
that
night
32.
pushes
of
Pikes
,
and
aboue
360.
of
strookes
with
swordes
,
which
is
scarce
credible
in
so
young
yeares
,
enough
to
assure
the
world
that
great
Britaines
braue
HENRY
asp●ed
to
immortality
.
Against
the
morow
after
the
said
fight
,
was
also
prouided
a
magnificke
feast
at
his
Highnes
house
of
St.
Iames
,
at
which
their
Majesties
,
his
Highnes
Brother
,
and
Sister
,
with
all
other
the
Earles
,
Lords
and
Knights
of
the
Court
were
present
,
where
after
supper
(
according
as
before
they
had
been
judged
)
his
Highnes
gaue
three
prizes
to
the
three
best
deseruing
,
namely
,
to
the
right
Honorable
the
Earle
of
Montgommery
one
,
and
to
Sir
Thomas
Darcy
and
Sir
Robert
Gordon
Knights
the
other
two
.
I
will
adde
one
Obseruation
more
,
drawne
out
of
mine
owne
experience
,
that
out
of
this
one
particular
it
may
appeare
in
generall
,
what
opinion
our
neighbour
nations
had
of
his
Hs
,
and
how
much
the
greatnes
of
his
name
had
anxiously
perplexed
many
of
their
mindes
,
which
is
this
;
I
being
in
Fraunce
about
some
9.
yeares
agoe
,
and
with
others
trauelling
along
the
Riuer
of
Loire
betwixt
Orleans
and
Tours
,
there
fortuned
to
bee
in
our
companie
a
Gentleman
of
the
citie
of
Bourdeaux
,
who
upon
some
discours
that
we
had
together
of
English
affaires
,
told
me
;
that
those
of
that
citie
a
little
while
before
his
Highnes
his
death
,
were
mightily
affrayed
of
some
invasion
to
be
made
by
him
,
hauing
for
a
long
time
before
together
with
the
whole
countrey
of
Gascony
conceiued
no
small
jaelousie
and
feare
of
his
high
and
generous
Spirit
,
the
cause
of
this
late
feare
being
,
for
that
the
haruest
quarter
(
at
which
time
the
English
and
Scotish
Shippes
use
to
arriue
there
to
prouide
themselues
with
wines
)
being
then
spent
,
and
the
winter
season
come
already
,
and
no
Shippes
arriuing
as
they
had
wont
to
doe
,
the
more
vigilant
and
wary
sort
did
verily
suspect
that
the
sea
ports
of
England
had
been
shutt
vp
,
and
all
Shippes
stayed
for
some
great
enterprise
,
which
they
could
not
thinke
to
be
intended
otherwise
then
against
them
,
and
that
by
the
Prince
his
meanes
only
,
as
fearing
no
other
.
And
moreouer
,
that
at
that
time
the
citie
was
not
prouided
to
indure
a
siege
,
chiefly
through
want
of
corne
,
which
they
could
not
prouide
to
any
purpose
without
some
time
and
leasure
;
namely
,
since
the
same
could
not
be
effected
without
some
show
of
feare
,
which
they
were
loath
to
shew
openly
,
for
discouraging
of
the
citizens
,
and
doubting
that
they
might
in
end
haue
been
laughed
at
,
if
it
should
haue
come
to
passe
that
they
had
mistaken
the
matter
,
as
it
fell
out
indeed
.
For
at
lenth
(
though
very
late
in
the
yeare
)
the
Shippes
so
long
expected
,
arriued
after
the
accustomed
peaceable
manner
,
some
quantity
of
wheate
was
brought
downe
the
ryver
of
Garumne
by
accident
,
and
not
long
after
they
had
certaine
newes
of
his
Hs
:
his
death
.
All
which
things
falling
out
almost
together
,
did
banish
all
feare
out
of
their
mindes
,
and
suddainly
filled
their
hearts
with
ioy
,
being
rid
of
all
danger
through
the
death
of
the
Prince
.
And
the
foresaid
Gentleman
affirmed
constantly
,
that
,
although
they
were
exceeding
glad
to
be
thus
deliuered
from
so
great
a
feare
,
and
to
liue
in
peacable
security
,
as
they
had
wont
to
doe
,
yet
on
the
other
part
they
could
not
chuse
but
be
sory
for
the
losse
of
such
a
braue
and
hopefull
young
Prince
,
who
in
his
youthead
had
already
become
so
famous
and
redoubted
,
and
had
made
so
many
nations
to
admire
him
,
and
stand
in
feare
of
him
.
I
might
set
downe
many
moe
Obseruations
and
proofes
of
all
maner
of
Vertues
,
wherewith
this
Heroicall
Prince
was
richly
adorned
,
If
I
did
not
labour
to
eshew
prolixity
,
fearing
that
this
Treatise
might
grow
to
bigge
.
To
be
short
,
therefore
I
will
only
in
few
words
adde
,
that
;
He
was
most
vertuous
all
his
lifetime
,
charitable
and
pittifull
,
familiar
and
gracious
to
all
persons
;
of
few
words
,
using
grauity
with
such
as
were
graue
,
seuere
in
time
and
place
,
merry
with
those
that
were
so
disposed
,
and
wise
in
all
his
actions
,
farre
aboue
his
age
.
He
kept
his
houshold
Seruants
in
good
order
,
and
was
very
vigilant
and
carefull
of
all
his
affaires
:
His
Court
for
Noble
and
generous
behauiour
did
resemble
some
colledge
,
that
had
been
pikt
and
chosen
out
of
the
best
and
rarest
Spirits
of
great
Britaine
.
He
fauoured
learning
much
.
He
made
so
much
of
Soldiours
&
men
of
warre
,
that
he
made
diuers
Captaines
Gentlemen
of
his
priuy
Chamber
,
and
tooke
great
pleasure
in
theyr
company
,
discoursing
with
them
often
touching
military
discipline
.
He
admired
great
and
rare
Spirits
,
yea
euen
those
of
mechanicall
and
meane
persons
,
retaining
diuers
of
that
sort
,
and
went
sometimes
to
see
them
work
in
their
trades
.
He
delighted
much
in
Architecture
and
building
,
&
had
already
made
some
beginning
thereof
at
Richmond
house
;
And
doubtlesse
,
if
God
had
prolonged
his
dayes
,
he
had
caused
build
many
curious
and
sumptuons
buildings
.
Out
of
his
Heroicall
mind
,
which
breathed
nothing
but
noble
deedes
,
he
adorned
likewise
the
British
Ocean
with
that
stately
Prince
,
a
fit
name
for
such
a
goodly
Ship
,
being
as
it
were
a
Prince
compared
wieh
other
vessels
.
Hee
loued
Musicke
,
and
namely
good
consorts
of
Instruments
and
voices
ioyned
together
.
In
his
bodily
exercises
he
did
not
exceede
the
limits
of
lawfull
mediocrity
.
He
loued
the
Tinnish
well
.
He
tooke
no
delight
in
pleasants
and
jeasters
,
neither
yet
was
he
caried
away
with
any
affection
to
stage-playes
.
He
delighted
more
in
hauking
then
hunting
.
He
was
tall
and
of
an
high
stature
,
his
body
was
strong
and
well
proportioned
,
his
shoulders
were
broad
,
his
eyes
quicke
and
pleasant
,
his
forehead
broad
,
his
nose
bigg
,
his
chinne
broad
and
clouen
,
his
haire
inclining
to
bleeke
,
whereas
before
it
had
been
of
a
whitish
colour
,
the
colour
of
his
face
some
what
swarfe
and
scorched
with
the
sunne
,
his
whole
face
and
visage
comely
and
beautifull
,
looking
for
the
most
part
with
a
sweete
,
smyling
,
and
amiable
countenance
,
and
withall
full
of
grauity
,
and
Princely
majesty
,
resembling
much
in
the
shape
of
his
body
,
and
diuers
actions
the
King
of
Dennemark
his
Vncle
.
So
that
being
thus
beautified
and
adorned
with
so
many
excellent
gifts
,
and
most
rare
vertues
both
of
soule
and
body
,
he
did
draw
not
only
the
eyes
of
many
to
come
and
behold
him
,
but
likewise
did
easily
gaine
the
hearts
of
all
men
,
yea
euen
of
those
,
which
had
only
heard
of
him
.
This
illustrious
and
mighty
Prince
increassing
thus
in
strenght
,
honor
,
and
wisdome
,
withall
maner
of
vertues
,
being
the
hope
and
solace
of
the
people
,
the
glorie
of
his
Parents
,
cherissed
and
loued
of
all
men
,
euen
of
straungers
and
those
of
forreine
nations
,
and
thinking
on
nothing
lesse
then
such
a
suddaine
and
unexpected
change
,
as
fell
out
soone
after
,
this
most
worthy
personage
(
farre
otherwayes
then
his
tender
yeares
and
age
seemed
to
promise
to
us
)
by
the
will
of
his
supreme
creator
was
seased
with
a
heauy
disease
,
and
within
a
few
dayes
after
was
a
tached
by
death
selfe
,
it
so
pleasing
the
almighty
God
,
to
take
from
this
world
up
to
himselfe
this
noble
Soule
,
with
such
piety
and
deuotion
,
as
could
be
wished
in
a
Christian
soule
:
to
the
intent
that
he
might
place
him
in
one
of
his
coelestiall
mansions
,
and
so
obtaine
euerlasting
life
.
Which
happened
about
eight
of
the
clocke
at
night
,
on
Friday
the
6.
of
Nouember
,
1612.
This
terrible
and
fearfull
ecclipse
not
hauing
been
foretold
and
prognosticated
long
before
,
did
moue
and
trouble
each
one
by
diuers
maners
,
seeing
cleerly
herein
the
unrecoverable
losse
,
wherewith
God
punished
us
,
by
taking
away
this
Prince
from
the
earth
,
from
the
King
his
Father
,
the
cheefe
staffe
of
his
old
age
,
and
from
the
people
their
most
certaine
hope
;
which
they
had
,
to
se
renewed
one
day
in
this
illustrions
graffe
all
the
noble
vertues
of
his
forefathers
.
The
dolefull
and
lamentatable
cries
of
all
the
people
were
great
euery
where
,
their
merrines
turned
into
heauines
,
and
their
laughing
into
floods
of
teares
,
bewailing
and
lamenting
dayly
this
great
and
unfortunate
stroke
,
whereof
the
wound
yet
still
bleedeth
.
God
,
of
his
wonted
mercy
,
blesse
and
preserue
our
most
noble
King
CHARLES
,
and
the
rest
of
this
Royall
family
,
without
kindling
his
wrath
any
more
against
us
,
by
inflicting
on
us
the
heauy
and
due
punishment
,
which
our
sinnes
haue
deserued
.
THE
RELATION
OF
THE
Sicknes
and
Death
of
the
most
Illustrious
HENRY
,
Prince
of
Walles
,
&c.
TOGETHER
With
the
opening
of
his
Body
.
PRINCE
HENRY
in
the
nineteenth
yeare
of
his
age
,
being
naturally
very
hott
,
accustomed
to
bleede
very
oftentimes
at
the
nose
aboundantly
,
yea
and
without
exercise
,
but
much
more
after
any
violent
exercising
of
the
body
;
this
naturall
excretion
hauing
been
stopt
these
three
monethis
bypast
;
the
last
summer
of
this
yeare
1612.
(
being
excessiue
in
degree
&
continuance
of
heat
,
more
then
any
that
now
liue
in
England
had
euer
seene
)
hauing
continually
wearied
his
body
with
extreme
exercices
,
and
mouing
at
hunting
,
in
the
heat
of
the
day
,
with
riding
,
with
playing
at
tinnish
,
and
consequently
hauing
oftentimes
chafed
his
blood
after
an
extraordinary
maner
(
which
hauing
been
stirred
in
the
morning
,
was
accustomed
not
to
setle
againe
all
the
day
long
.
)
And
moreouer
,
hauing
eaten
fruit
some
what
excessiuely
,
chiefly
Melons
and
Grapes
that
were
not
fully
ripe
:
hauing
often
filled
himselfe
with
fish
,
and
with
Oysters
both
raw
and
dressed
with
fire
,
at
euery
meale
,
three
or
foure
dayes
in
the
weeke
;
finally
,
to
coole
the
burning
heat
that
troubled
his
body
in
the
Summer
,
hauing
as
often
as
occasion
would
serue
,
w.
shed
himselfe
in
the
ryver
,
after
supper
,
with
a
full
stomack
,
remaining
in
the
water
for
some
houres
together
.
After
all
these
disorders
,
in
end
hee
fell
sicke
at
Richmond
,
the
tenth
day
of
October
,
1612.
The
two
next
dayes
after
,
he
had
two
fits
with
shivering
and
heat
,
without
any
sweat
following
after
.
Which
being
perceiued
by
his
ordinary
Physician
,
he
hauing
ordained
and
caused
to
giue
him
an
ordinary
remollitive
glyster
simply
,
without
any
loosing
medicine
,
after
a
gentle
operation
,
the
humors
hauing
been
stirred
,
which
were
in
great
quantity
,
in
this
full
body
,
upon
the
morow
after
he
had
25.
stooles
,
and
there
came
from
him
a
great
quantity
of
rotten
and
stinking
choler
,
and
at
the
latter
end
some
flegme
.
The
voyding
hereof
did
good
:
but
the
roote
remaining
fast
,
and
the
body
being
toyled
with
unquietnesse
,
and
lassitudes
,
and
with
an
interrupted
and
broken
sleepe
,
his
Highnes
his
Physician
thought
it
good
to
purge
him
with
the
pills
,
which
he
was
accustomed
to
giue
before
meales
,
which
wrought
foure
or
fiue
litle
times
weakly
with
great
asswaging
.
Neuerthelesse
after
a
few
dayes
,
the
disease
increasing
by
litle
and
litle
,
and
nature
yeelding
to
the
causes
of
the
disease
(
although
his
Highnes
did
striue
against
his
paine
,
labouring
to
couer
the
same
,
and
shake
it
off
)
upon
the
fifth
day
after
the
first
beginning
of
his
sickly
disposition
,
which
was
on
Sunday
the
25.
of
October
,
his
Highnes
hauing
founde
himselfe
very
ill
the
Saturday
before
(
though
hee
had
played
at
Tinnish
)
and
farre
worse
on
Sunday
morning
,
his
face
being
pale
and
parched
with
heate
,
his
eyes
hollow
and
of
a
wanne
colour
,
being
at
Whitehall
about
three
of
the
clocke
after
noone
,
fell
in
a
light
sowning
(
an
accident
very
common
to
him
and
many
of
his
race
)
which
was
followed
by
a
light
shivering
,
and
with
a
heat
;
with
great
paine
of
the
head
,
which
had
lasted
many
dayes
,
yea
and
with
whirlings
and
giddinesse
,
chiefly
when
he
went
about
to
rise
out
of
his
bed
.
At
last
his
Highnes
had
a
fit
of
a
feuer
.
Whereupon
the
Kings
Majesty
hauing
sent
to
him
Doctor
Mayerne
,
his
chiefe
Physician
,
hee
being
come
to
his
Highnes
at
eight
of
the
clocke
at
night
,
found
his
Highnes
in
a
feauer
,
with
a
red
visage
,
with
troubled
eyes
,
that
could
not
indure
the
light
of
the
candle
,
his
lippes
blacke
,
his
tongue
drie
,
and
an
extreme
thirst
to
drinke
,
which
hath
alwayes
exceedingly
tormented
his
Highnes
so
long
as
his
braine
was
free
and
able
to
feele
his
paine
.
For
this
time
the
Doctor
was
content
to
ordaine
a
cordiall
and
refreshing
ptisane
,
to
quench
the
thirst
,
and
a
broth
to
be
taken
at
the
end
of
the
fit
.
Vpon
the
next
day
came
together
Doctor
Hammon
,
ordinary
Physician
to
his
Highnes
,
and
Doctor
Mayerne
,
the
foresaid
Physician
to
the
King
,
sent
by
his
Majesty
,
who
hauing
considered
that
his
Highnes
had
had
a
most
restles
night
(
as
the
preceeding
five
or
six
had
been
)
and
finding
him
to
haue
the
same
thirst
and
drienes
which
he
had
before
,
together
with
a
starting
of
the
sinue
partes
,
and
the
belly
bent
;
and
the
urines
crude
and
white
,
and
costivenesse
,
with
common
consent
they
ordained
a
lenitive
glyster
for
him
,
which
caused
him
to
voyd
gently
three
or
foure
times
some
very
stinking
yelow
choler
.
All
that
day
long
his
Highnes
was
without
any
feauer
,
rose
and
played
after
dinner
with
the
Duke
of
York
,
hauing
alwayes
notwithstanding
a
most
pitifull
countenance
,
and
drienes
in
the
mouth
,
with
some
great
alteration
;
for
which
cause
they
ordained
cordiall
ulleps
that
were
tart
and
cooling
,
and
(
to
preuent
all
dangers
)
forgot
not
to
minister
some
Behezar
,
Vnicornes
horne
,
and
such
like
antidotes
.
All
his
brothers
were
made
according
to
the
same
intention
,
and
all
the
rest
of
his
diet
was
to
the
same
end
.
The
next
night
,
after
the
accustomed
maner
,
affoorded
him
no
rest
,
whith
the
drouth
,
which
one
laboured
to
quench
with
the
foresaid
Iuleps
.
The
next
day
about
noonetide
the
fit
returned
with
cold
,
and
great
heate
,
which
increased
with
greater
measure
of
all
its
former
accidents
,
till
eight
of
the
clock
:
at
nine
,
the
feuer
decreased
,
and
after
ten
ceased
altogether
.
The
morning
following
his
Highnes
sleept
quietly
enough
.
In
the
meane
time
were
heard
great
noyses
in
his
belly
,
whereof
the
fore
part
and
sides
about
the
short
ribs
and
aboue
the
nauill
,
were
bent
more
then
ordinary
.
Which
being
considered
,
the
foresaid
Doctors
hauing
all
that
day
striuen
with
cordials
,
reckoning
the
beginning
of
the
disease
to
haue
been
from
the
Prince
his
being
at
Richmond
,
and
not
only
from
the
Sunday
;
weighing
the
profit
which
his
Highnes
had
receiued
by
the
excretions
,
as
well
naturall
as
artificiall
,
that
had
past
before
,
and
looking
to
the
maner
of
liuing
,
and
the
great
fulnes
of
putrified
humours
,
that
were
in
the
naturall
partes
,
which
hauing
been
kindled
had
caused
a
feuer
,
which
followed
the
nature
of
a
Tertian
(
though
venemous
because
of
its
notable
putrefaction
,
and
ready
to
turne
to
a
continuall
feuer
,
for
the
quantity
of
the
mater
,
as
it
came
to
passe
afterward
)
the
foresaid
Physicians
(
I
say
)
aduised
upon
a
light
purgation
,
which
were
able
only
to
diminish
the
quantity
of
the
humors
,
judging
the
same
to
be
so
much
the
more
necessary
then
the
last
Glyster
;
and
the
stirring
noyses
heard
in
the
belly
did
inuite
one
to
solace
nature
by
that
part
.
Thereupon
his
Highnes
was
desired
by
the
foresaid
Doctors
to
call
a
Councell
of
Physicians
,
to
consult
and
aduise
more
largely
of
this
busines
,
which
he
flatly
refused
,
as
being
unwilling
to
haue
many
Physicians
,
as
those
that
came
afterward
might
gather
by
his
countenance
,
and
the
King
his
selfe
can
witnes
.
So
not
to
spend
the
next
day
following
without
doing
that
which
was
most
necessary
;
his
Highnes
being
altogether
without
any
feuer
,
there
was
giuen
to
him
a
gentle
medicine
of
boiled
Sene
,
and
Rhubarbe
infused
in
cordiall
and
cooling
liquours
,
with
some
Syrupe
Rosate
loosing
.
This
medicine
wrought
with
incredible
paine
,
seauen
or
eight
times
,
and
brought
away
great
store
of
putrified
choler
,
and
towards
the
end
some
putrified
flegme
.
From
that
day
forth
the
urines
beganne
to
change
,
and
to
thicken
,
and
to
shew
some
litle
cloude
,
which
betokened
concoction
.
The
night
was
troublesome
after
the
accustomed
maner
,
saue
in
the
morning
.
His
breath
which
was
alwayes
short
became
more
easy
and
longer
,
the
paine
of
the
head
lesse
.
Singings
of
the
eares
that
continued
(
though
unequally
)
from
the
beginning
to
the
end
;
the
startings
being
alike
.
In
this
case
the
Iuleps
with
the
Behezar
,
Vnicornes
horne
,
pearles
,
and
bone
of
the
Stagges
heart
,
&c.
were
continued
.
Vpon
the
next
the
fit
came
with
a
light
cooling
,
which
since
that
time
was
not
felt
,
and
from
that
houre
forth
,
the
feuer
hath
been
alwayes
continuall
,
with
notable
remissions
or
breathings
,
and
very
unequall
redoublings
euery
day
;
the
one
great
,
the
other
lesse
.
In
the
course
of
this
continuall
feuer
the
tongue
became
blacke
,
the
drouth
,
the
startings
and
singings
did
increase
.
At
ths
end
of
the
fifth
day
nature
strained
it selfe
to
voyd
some
thing
by
the
belly
,
but
litle
,
the
urines
did
nowayes
shew
the
greatnes
of
the
danger
.
Doctor
Butler
was
called
aside
from
the
rest
,
who
counselled
only
to
minister
internall
and
externall
cordials
,
analeptickes
,
and
approued
the
diet
that
was
prescribed
,
and
his
advise
was
followed
.
The
night
was
very
restles
,
and
the
morning
,
as
alwayes
,
some
what
more
gentle
.
Vpon
the
sixth
the
entralles
hauing
been
washed
with
fruit
by
a
Glyster
in
the
morning
,
about
three
of
the
clock
after
noone
came
the
lesse
redoubling
,
during
which
the
face
was
very
red
,
the
breath
short
,
the
pulse
full
of
swiftnesse
.
In
the
fitt
the
nose
fell
a
bleeding
,
but
after
the
voyding
of
two
ounces
of
blood
ceased
,
not
without
some
easing
.
This
bleeding
shewed
it selfe
(
though
in
smaller
quantity
)
the
seauenth
and
eight
day
;
from
that
houre
forth
a
motion
was
made
of
letting
blood
,
whereunto
nature
by
this
attempt
did
invite
in
a
feuer
,
moreouer
continuall
,
in
an
extreme
fulnesse
,
in
a
temperature
excessively
hott
,
in
a
subject
accustomed
to
bleed
at
the
nose
,
and
deprived
of
his
benefite
these
many
moneths
bypast
.
Neuertheles
the
seauenth
past
ouer
,
and
the
greater
part
of
the
Physicians
was
of
the
opinion
,
that
it
was
expedient
to
waite
till
the
Crisis
were
come
,
though
the
disease
was
crude
;
and
that
there
was
no
appearance
at
all
thereof
:
Thus
upon
this
day
came
the
great
redoubling
,
with
rauing
,
and
that
he
being
awake
:
blacknesse
,
drienesse
,
and
roughnesse
of
the
tongue
,
with
ulceration
of
the
throat
;
the
singings
and
startings
were
waxed
greater
,
the
urines
more
crude
,
and
there
was
withall
a
fearfull
unquietnes
,
which
continued
the
whole
night
.
The
increasing
of
the
euill
,
and
nature
beginning
to
bow
and
relent
,
made
the
letting
of
blood
to
be
motioned
more
earnestly
then
before
,
as
being
the
only
remedy
to
saue
his
Highnes
,
if
the
same
were
let
in
a
just
quantity
,
yea
and
by
reiterating
the
same
if
need
were
,
as
all
maner
of
likelyhoods
did
shew
,
in
regarde
of
the
constitution
of
the
body
,
the
age
,
the
strength
,
and
other
accidents
.
After
a
very
great
debate
,
in
end
the
three
Doctors
Mayerne
,
Hammon
,
and
Butler
,
agreed
together
,
the
eight
day
after
that
his
Highnes
had
taken
his
bed
,
and
in
their
presence
was
drawen
from
the
Median
or
middle
vaine
of
the
right
arme
some
7.
or
8.
ounces
of
blood
.
His
Hs
:
suffered
the
same
with
courage
,
desired
them
to
draw
some
more
,
was
nothing
weakened
thereby
,
the
blood
came
running
like
a
streame
,
and
almost
immediatly
thereafter
he
felt
some
comfort
.
The
blood
,
after
that
it
was
become
cold
,
was
seene
by
any
whosoeuer
desired
to
see
it
,
all
putrified
,
blew
on
the
upper
part
,
and
almost
without
any
small
stringes
,
not
fully
thickened
.
His
Highnes
all
the
time
of
his
sicknes
neuer
found
himselfe
so
well
as
that
day
,
and
had
no
redoubling
,
in
such
sort
that
it
seemed
by
his
pulse
,
that
the
feuer
would
haue
left
him
.
The
singins
of
the
eares
and
the
startings
were
diminished
,
the
night
become
better
,
though
with
litle
rest
;
the
urines
and
excrements
better
concocted
,
the
drouth
somewhat
asswaged
,
and
his
eyes
beganne
to
indure
the
light
better
.
Vpon
the
ninth
,
the
great
redoubling
came
with
lesse
heate
then
had
done
the
seauenth
day
.
In
this
fit
,
the
breath
became
shorter
;
the
pulse
beating
more
frequently
,
the
face
redder
,
the
tongue
blacker
,
and
the
drouth
greater
,
the
startings
continued
,
and
the
drousines
began
:
breefly
,
all
that
appeared
,
which
was
able
to
make
it
appeare
,
that
the
blood
and
the
humours
had
with
aboundance
and
violence
cast
themselues
upward
toward
the
braine
.
This
night
his
Highnes
raued
much
more
then
before
,
using
som
discourses
out
of
purpose
,
he
cast
himselfe
out
of
the
bedde
,
called
for
his
clothes
,
and
spake
of
going
away
.
In
the
morning
of
this
day
Doctor
Atkins
was
sent
by
the
King
to
the
Prince
,
who
tooke
his
comming
impatiently
,
untill
such
time
as
he
had
been
perswaded
by
the
other
ordinary
Physicians
;
that
hee
had
need
to
be
succoured
with
all
maner
of
good
counsell
,
and
that
the
number
of
learned
men
could
not
chuse
but
bee
very
healthfull
,
and
fit
for
recouering
of
his
Highnes
his
health
.
Doctor
Atkins
told
before
the
King
and
the
Lordes
of
the
Councell
,
that
this
disease
was
a
putride
feuer
,
whereof
the
nourishing
heat
wat
under
the
liuer
,
in
the
first
passages
,
and
acknowledged
the
malignity
that
accompanied
it
to
proceed
of
putrefaction
,
which
being
come
to
the
highest
degree
taketh
the
nature
of
poison
.
Vpon
the
tenth
,
all
the
accidents
were
increased
;
and
the
startings
turning
into
convulsions
,
the
rauing
hauing
become
greater
,
and
the
drousines
more
troublesome
,
with
the
feuer
,
which
was
euer
more
violent
toward
the
euening
,
and
all
the
rest
of
the
euils
,
in
the
morning
a
motion
was
made
to
let
blood
,
the
which
being
disallowed
by
the
greater
part
,
strong
cordials
were
used
,
&
a
Glyster
;
by
the
which
much
putrified
and
stinking
matter
hauing
been
brought
forth
,
his
High
.
did
cast
up
the
stones
of
the
grapes
which
he
had
eaten
ten
or
twelfe
dayes
before
.
All
was
without
effect
;
and
the
night
of
that
day
his
High
.
beganne
(
the
feuer
being
increased
)
to
raue
more
then
euer
he
did
,
to
cast
himselfe
to
and
fro
,
to
leape
out
of
the
bed
;
to
sing
in
his
sleepe
,
and
pull
the
sheets
together
to
him
.
The
convulsions
(
which
with
the
rauing
were
foretold
from
the
fifth
day
of
the
disease
(
became
more
violent
;
the
tongue
,
though
dry
and
blacke
with
the
whole
throat
did
not
moue
his
Highnes
to
call
for
drinke
,
an
euident
signe
that
the
mansion
place
of
reason
and
understanding
did
suffer
extremely
.
In
end
,
all
the
eleuenth
day
,
euery
thing
became
worse
and
worse
(
saue
some
litle
breathing
)
and
the
greater
part
of
the
Physicians
did
thinke
it
expedient
to
waite
for
the
Crises
,
which
were
farre
of
,
and
appeared
nowayes
.
In
the
night
of
the
tenth
day
,
cupping
glasses
with
scarification
were
applied
to
the
shoulders
;
and
pigeons
to
the
head
being
shauen
.
The
eleuenth
,
a
Cock
clouen
along
through
the
back
was
applied
,
and
the
cordials
were
multiplied
in
number
and
in
quantity
,
all
without
any
fruit
.
Then
the
danger
appeared
to
be
certaine
,
which
had
been
foretold
long
ago
.
The
which
to
withstand
and
helpe
,
so
farre
as
art
would
permit
,
and
the
estate
of
the
disease
seemed
to
require
,
upon
the
twelfth
morning
the
letting
of
blood
was
againe
debated
among
the
Doctors
,
Mayerne
,
Hammon
,
Atkins
,
and
Butler
;
one
of
them
alleadging
,
that
the
blood
had
cast
it selfe
upward
violently
,
and
by
filling
of
the
braine
,
did
through
its
venemous
sharpnes
,
and
quantity
,
cause
the
rauing
and
convulsions
,
yet
without
paine
,
because
the
spirit
was
troubled
,
which
accidents
did
cast
his
Hs
:
into
eminent
danger
,
more
then
the
drousines
,
the
cause
whereof
was
in
the
ventricles
,
like
as
the
foresaid
hott
and
cholerick
blood
was
in
the
caules
or
thinne
skinnes
,
and
that
consequently
there
was
no
other
present
remedie
,
but
to
open
a
veine
;
which
his
strength
seemed
not
to
withstand
,
since
the
pulse
was
strong
enough
,
and
his
Highnes
did
rise
to
go
to
his
stoole
,
remaining
at
the
same
without
any
weaknes
,
which
had
not
happened
to
him
since
the
beginning
of
his
sicknes
.
The
rest
of
the
Physicians
misliked
this
aduise
,
thought
it
good
to
continue
,
to
double
and
triple
the
cordials
,
and
to
make
revulsion
of
the
humour
from
the
braine
with
a
Glyster
,
which
wrought
very
well
,
but
without
any
other
effect
,
saue
that
his
Highnes
after
voyding
,
came
to
himselfe
,
and
with
judgement
and
understanding
gaue
eare
to
the
exhortations
,
and
prayers
of
the
Lord
Arch-bishop
of
Canturberry
,
shewing
excellent
signes
of
piety
,
and
contempt
of
this
world
,
and
a
great
contentment
to
prepare
himselfe
to
goe
and
possesse
eternall
rest
.
After
this
he
sleept
quietly
enough
,
some
three
houres
,
the
convulsions
and
rauings
being
diminished
.
Toward
the
euening
besides
the
foresaid
Doctors
,
the
Doctors
Gifford
and
Palmer
were
brought
in
.
They
went
all
to
a
consultation
together
,
whereat
some
of
them
hauing
remarked
some
pestilence
in
this
disease
(
although
none
of
all
those
that
had
smelled
his
H●
.
breath
a
thousand
times
,
and
watched
continually
neare
unto
him
had
euer
found
themselues
ill
,
and
that
moreouer
throughout
his
whole
disease
he
had
neuer
any
sicknes
at
the
heart
or
vomiting
,
or
any
spott
of
purples
,
or
other
tokens
on
his
body
the
others
hauing
denied
the
same
flatly
,
and
the
great
necessity
of
letting
blood
hauing
been
declared
,
whereof
the
opportunity
was
past
for
that
time
,
by
reason
of
the
excretion
of
the
belly
,
in
end
,
by
the
plurality
of
voices
the
Diascordium
was
concluded
,
in
presence
of
Sir
Thomas
Challoner
Knight
,
Chamberlayne
to
his
Highnes
,
who
among
others
a
most
worthy
Seruant
of
his
Maister
,
was
continually
with
him
,
and
was
at
the
greatest
part
of
the
consultations
,
together
with
Sir
David
Murray
Knight
,
first
Gentleman
of
the
Bed-chamber
,
and
Maister
of
the
Robbes
and
Wardrobe
,
whose
faithfulnesse
and
diligent
care
is
knowen
to
euery
one
.
The
relation
of
the
foresaid
consultations
set
downe
in
this
treatise
,
may
be
controlled
by
these
two
persons
of
honour
and
dignity
,
or
be
confirmed
by
their
voices
:
and
by
the
consent
of
all
his
Highnes
his
Gentlemen
,
that
were
witnesses
of
all
things
.
According
to
the
resolution
taken
,
at
ten
of
the
clock
at
night
,
or
there
about
,
was
ministered
the
Diascordium
,
tempered
with
cordials
which
were
not
very
hott
.
The
operation
hereof
was
small
,
and
his
Highnes
rested
with
his
ordinary
accidents
,
though
asswaged
neuer
so
litle
.
After
the
space
of
four
houres
,
the
backe-bone
,
the
shoulders
,
and
the
armes
,
with
the
tongue
,
suffered
diuers
convulsions
.
The
rauing
increased
,
the
muscle
Sphincter
losing
its
naturall
faculty
,
did
suffer
some
untimely
excretion
to
come
forth
,
and
death
seemed
to
be
very
neare
hand
.
In
this
desperate
case
euery
one
hasted
to
hinder
this
unspeakable
losse
,
and
out
of
the
abundance
of
their
affection
,
propounded
that
,
which
they
thought
might
do
any
good
.
The
Doctors
(
after
that
they
had
giuen
out
their
prognostick
,
which
they
perceiued
would
proue
but
too
true
)
hauing
neuer
preassed
to
giue
his
Highnes
any
thing
whatsoeuer
,
but
such
whereof
they
knew
the
preparation
,
or
making
.
In
end
,
by
the
common
consent
of
all
six
,
was
giuen
to
his
Highnes
a
cordiall
,
which
had
its
effect
,
by
asswaging
the
rauings
and
convulsions
,
and
causing
him
sweat
abundantly
,
which
was
the
first
time
that
he
had
sweat
any
.
But
all
in
vaine
,
in
such
sort
that
this
most
illustrious
Prince
,
hauing
receiued
no
comfort
by
this
excretion
,
commendable
in
all
its
qualities
;
the
Councell
of
Physicians
perceiuing
nature
to
be
vanquished
,
and
that
art
was
unable
to
attaine
to
affoord
sufficient
helpe
unto
the
same
,
committed
the
rest
into
the
hands
of
God
,
whom
it
pleased
a
litle
after
,
to
take
from
the
world
this
most
noble
&
heroicall
soule
up
to
himselfe
,
that
he
might
inherit
with
his
Sauiour
Christ
a
perfect
and
permanent
felicity
.
This
happened
about
eight
of
the
clock
at
night
,
upon
Friday
the
6.
of
Nouember
,
1612.
VPon
the
next
day
after
the
death
,
which
was
on
Saturday
the
seauenth
of
the
foresaid
moneth
,
by
his
Majesties
commaund
,
and
order
from
the
Lordes
of
the
Councell
,
about
5.
of
the
clocke
at
night
,
all
the
Physicians
that
had
been
at
his
cure
,
the
Prince
Elector
Palatine
his
Physician
,
and
others
,
the
Gentlemen
of
the
late
Prince
his
Chambers
,
and
others
his
Seruants
,
assembled
together
in
the
same
chamber
where
he
died
,
where
such
were
admitted
,
as
it
pleased
to
be
present
there
without
confusion
indifferently
,
in
presence
of
the
whole
assembly
his
body
was
opened
,
by
the
Kings
and
his
Highnes
his
Surgeons
,
which
in
its
outward
and
inward
parts
was
found
to
be
such
as
followes
.
THe
Skinne
(
as
of
one
that
is
dead
)
pale
,
nowayes
spotted
with
blacke
,
or
blew
,
or
lead
colour
,
which
might
breed
suspicion
of
any
violence
,
farre
lesse
marked
with
purples
,
like
fleabits
,
which
might
argue
any
pestilent
or
contagious
poison
.
About
the
Kidneys
,
buttocks
,
and
hinder
parts
of
the
thighes
full
of
rednesse
,
by
reason
of
lying
for
a
long
time
on
the
backe
,
with
great
paine
and
labour
.
The
belly
somewhat
swelled
,
and
stretched
out
through
windinesse
which
issued
forth
by
the
least
opening
,
that
was
made
of
the
nauill
(
being
naturally
lifted
up
)
and
immediatly
the
belly
fell
downe
.
The
Stomach
whole
and
sound
without
and
within
,
hauing
neuer
been
troubled
during
the
whole
sicknes
,
nor
suffered
any
will
to
vomite
,
vomitings
,
hickots
,
nor
any
other
accident
,
which
might
giue
euidence
,
that
it
had
receiued
any
secret
wrong
.
The
●iuer
without
,
in
its
higher
or
upper
part
marked
with
points
;
in
the
lower
with
blakish
lines
,
and
farre
p●ler
and
wanner
,
then
it
should
haue
been
.
The
Gall-bladder
voide
of
humour
,
full
of
wind
.
The
Splene
aboue
,
and
in
its
low
extremity
somewhat
blacke
,
filled
with
a
blacke
and
earthly
blood
.
The
Kidneis
very
goodly
,
and
without
blemish
.
The
Midriffe
beneath
the
parts
about
the
heart
(
which
had
too
litle
mater
in
them
)
spotted
with
blacke
,
and
as
it
were
a
leaden
black
and
blew
colour
.
The
Lungs
almost
all
blacke
,
in
the
greatest
part
thereof
,
the
rest
being
marked
with
blacke
,
puft
up
and
full
of
a
parched
blood
,
and
of
a
corrupt
bloody
serosity
,
which
foaming
issued
forth
plentifully
,
at
a
part
of
the
body
of
the
lungs
that
was
opened
.
In
which
opening
and
cutting
the
parts
about
to
shew
the
heart
,
the
Surgeon
through
mischance
hauing
cut
the
thrunke
of
the
great
veine
,
the
greatest
part
of
the
blood
emptied
it selfe
into
the
Thorax
,
leauing
the
lower
veines
empty
,
whereof
the
company
was
presently
aduertised
.
From
this
colour
and
framing
of
the
lungs
,
were
gathered
some
consequences
of
an
exceeding
great
fulnesse
,
and
of
an
excessiue
heat
,
which
appeared
yet
more
,
in
so
farre
as
the
windpipe
,
the
throat
,
and
the
tongue
were
smeared
ouer
with
a
blacke
sewet
and
among
other
accidents
,
the
tongue
drie
and
chinked
in
many
places
.
The
Heart
goodly
,
whole
in
appearance
,
and
without
any
fault
that
could
be
remarked
,
in
any
of
its
conditions
.
The
hindmost
veines
,
which
are
in
the
inner
cause
of
the
braine
(
called
Pious
mother
)
swelled
and
puft
up
through
the
abundance
of
blood
,
farre
beyond
the
naturall
order
.
The
substance
of
the
Braine
very
goodly
and
cleane
:
but
the
venticles
thereof
full
of
a
very
cleare
water
,
which
came
forth
in
great
plenty
at
the
cutting
.
One
part
of
these
accidents
was
engendered
by
the
feuer
(
venemous
only
because
of
the
putrifaction
of
the
same
)
of
diuers
humours
gathered
together
a
long
time
before
,
his
Highnes
not
being
subject
to
any
dangerous
disease
,
either
by
inheritance
,
or
birth
.
Another
part
by
reason
of
the
convulsion
,
ravings
,
and
drousines
,
which
through
fulnesse
,
choking
the
naturall
heate
,
and
extinguishing
the
beginnings
of
life
through
naughtinesse
,
haue
brought
his
Highnes
to
his
graue
,
without
any
appearance
,
signe
,
or
accident
of
poison
.
The
summe
of
this
Relation
hauing
been
penned
in
presence
of
all
the
foresaid
Physicians
,
by
one
of
the
company
,
was
sent
to
his
Majesty
,
subscribed
by
them
all
,
the
day
after
the
opening
of
the
body
.
