To
the
honoured
belouers
of
the
well
deseruing
worth
of
the
late
deceased
Robert
Earle
of
Salisbury
,
Vicount
Cranborne
,
Baron
of
Essindon
,
principall
Secretary
to
his
Maiestie
,
Maister
of
the
Court
of
wardes
and
Liueries
,
Chancelor
of
the
Vniuersity
of
Cambridge
,
Knight
of
the
noble
order
of
the
Garter
,
and
one
of
his
Highnesse
most
honorable
priuy
Councell
.
IN
the
height
of
admiration
(
which
my
thoughts
conceiued
of
the
deserued
worth
of
this
late
deceased
nobleman
)
I
imagined
many
deseruedly
bound
to
offer
to
his
name
,
signes
of
loue
and
duty
in
a
high
measure
,
which
I
now
find
contrary
:
Schollers
I
see
(
in
these
euill
dayes
)
giue
no
luster
to
Nobillity
,
but
neclegently
suffer
their
renownes
to
consume
with
their
bodies
,
the
pens
of
long
lasting
poesie
,
writes
not
in
times
fore-head
,
vertues
records
to
posterity
,
but
carelesly
giues
way
to
enuy
(
that
canker-worme
to
greatnesse
)
to
eate
out
all
remembrance
of
mortallitie
:
some
(
I
know
)
will
controulingly
censure
,
and
giue
sentence
of
this
my
ouer-bold
presumption
,
a
taske
more
befitting
a
most
excellent
Artist
,
but
the
reason
of
this
my
bold
aduenture
is
,
because
I
see
the
Muses
lippes
lockt
vp
,
and
all
loath
to
enter
into
the
discription
of
his
honorable
liues
pilgrimage
:
be
as
it
bee
will
,
I
stand
patiently
armed
against
the
biting
scoffes
of
selfe-conceited
wits
,
with
this
reasonable
excuse
,
I
confesse
ignorance
,
and
with
all
giue
them
thus
to
vnderstand
,
I
neuer
tasted
one
drop
of
Parnassus
fountaine
,
but
yet
care
added
to
industrious
trauells
is
able
to
performe
matters
of
importance
,
your
high
worth
may
Iudge
of
my
meaning
,
my
loue
to
the
deceased
begot
this
boldnesse
,
therefore
for
his
sake
(
whom
you
honored
in
life
time
)
daine
to
affoord
one
cheerefull
countenance
to
my
humble
affection
,
for
I
stand
like
poore
blind
Irus
before
the
worlds
lottery
,
casting
in
my
lots
either
of
good
or
euill
fortune
,
where
if
I
chance
to
light
but
vpon
any
reasonable
prize
of
good
liking
,
I
haue
my
desire
,
but
if
all
happen
blankes
,
I
depart
ouer-loaden
with
burthens
of
discontent
to
my
rustick
cell
,
and
their
pining
lye
consum'd
away
in
penance
for
this
my
presumption
:
so
in
duty
I
kisse
my
hand
,
and
humbly
take
my
leaue
.
Richard
Jhonson

To
the
world
.
IF
in
the
depth
of
my
intyre
affection
,
long
borne
to
the
honored
house
of
the
Cecils
,
I
take
vpon
me
plainely
to
set
downe
,
according
to
my
simple
vnderstanding
,
the
honorable
augmented
dignities
of
the
late
deceased
Earle
of
Salisbury
,
and
therin
offend
some
peremtory
censurers
,
I
lay
the
fault
vpon
my
presuming
loue
,
and
make
it
my
priuiledge
of
excuse
.
The
temporizing
world
(
I
know
)
full
of
enuy
,
ingratitude
&
vnkindnesse
,
hath
nursed
vp
fame-killing
falshood
(
the
greatest
enemy
to
naked
truth
)
(
not
valewing
true
worth
)
clamerously
to
wrong
this
desertfull
statist
,
by
detracting
from
his
honor
,
times
applauding
graces
,
a
cankering
deisease
(
after
death
)
subiect
to
greatnesse
:
but
let
blacke
mouthed
enuy
be
of
a
more
fauorable
carriage
,
for
inocent
truth
before
the
worlds
broad
eye
stands
combatant
,
and
will
asuredly
defend
,
his
honorable
deseruings
from
his
greatest
disparrages
,
Fame
I
see
stands
ready
prest
to
giue
the
world
notice
of
his
worlds
late
aduancements
,
first
,
he
had
a
time
,
a
happy
time
,
I
may
say
,
when
desert
in
his
prime
of
youth
,
won
him
a
multitude
of
honorable
friends
,
to
continew
to
his
age
:
for
beeing
(
euen
but
in
the
bloome
)
of
a
vertuous
inclination
,
he
so
tyed
his
Princes
affection
to
his
succeeding
preferments
,
that
hee
obtayned
by
instruction
of
his
father
the
Lord
William
Burleigh
the
perfect
rules
of
a
well
gouerned
Statist
.
Now
heare
to
make
a
short
florish
how
by
degrees
hee
climbed
to
the
top
of
all
these
his
high
dignified
titles
and
places
of
honour
,
he
thus
fortunatly
proceeded
:
first
vnto
the
age
of
sixteene
yeares
,
he
was
onely
tutord
vnder
his
father
and
in
his
fathers
house
,
without
any
other
education
:
at
which
time
of
his
age
,
by
his
virtuous
mothers
will
and
free
guift
,
of
thirty
pounds
yearely
giuen
to
a
colledge
in
Cambridge
,
he
was
sent
in
person
to
carry
it
,
and
be
the
presentor
of
the
same
him-selfe
,
where
at
that
young
age
he
commenced
,
according
to
the
order
of
schooles
,
and
was
made
maister
of
Art
,
after
this
,
in
short
time
,
by
the
fauour
of
Queene
Elizabeth
hee
was
in
the
presence
of
the
state
royall
,
created
Knight
at
Theobalds
,
and
immediatly
to
his
greater
aduancements
,
in
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
.
1588.
hee
was
sent
ouer
into
France
to
accompany
our
then
English
Ambassador
,
Henry
the
great
Earle
of
Darby
,
a
grace
fitting
so
noble
a
spirit
as
he
was
like
to
be
,
Englands
buisinesse
there
ended
,
hee
returned
and
in
short
time
after
,
merited
by
his
wel
deseruing
indeuours
,
many
court
honours
,
as
vnder
Secretary
to
Queene
Elizabeth
then
principal
Secretary
of
Estate
,
then
one
of
the
Queenes
Maiesties
most
honorable
priuy
Councell
,
these
dignified
places
,
in
the
eye
of
his
honored
father
,
were
put
vnto
his
charge
,
which
hee
so
wisely
caried
,
that
hee
obtained
euen
the
common
grace
of
the
multitude
,
in
which
authorities
he
bore
himselfe
in
the
worlds
equall
balance
,
till
the
death
of
his
father
,
and
then
it
pleased
his
gratious
Mistresse
Queene
Elizabeth
,
to
bestow
vpon
him
the
office
of
the
Maister
of
Wards
and
liueries
,
which
hee
inioyed
with
the
rest
,
till
the
death
of
his
said
Soueraigne
:
but
our
now
royall
King
,
comming
to
this
his
Imperiall
kingdome
,
and
looking
into
the
worth
of
this
man
,
weakned
not
any
of
these
his
aduancements
,
but
added
more
strength
to
the
same
,
by
creating
him
,
first
,
a
Barron
,
next
a
Vicecount
,
then
an
Earle
,
then
Knight
of
the
honorable
order
of
the
Garter
,
one
of
the
Councell
of
Estate
,
and
lastly
Lord
High
treasurer
of
England
,
the
greatnesse
of
which
places
,
planted
His
renowne
in
the
feelds
of
succeeding
times
.
I
must
not
ouerpasse
his
Chancellorship
of
the
Vniuersity
of
Cambridge
,
that
nurse
of
witdecking
schollors
,
whose
learned
pens
might
let
the
world
know
all
his
fame
worthy
actions
,
but
time
I
see
proues
vngratefull
,
and
would
haue
his
memory
buryed
in
forgetfulnesse
.
Awake
sluggish
muses
,
awake
!
In
his
life
might
thousands
of
noble
obiects
befound
wherein
your
noble
spirits
might
towre
high
:
It
is
a
task
onely
fitting
rare
pens
,
and
not
for
me
,
the
worst
of
many
thousands
,
to
giue
him
that
immortallity
,
which
the
basenesse
of
this
worthlesse
time
will
hardly
afford
,
honour
him
,
kind
schollers
,
with
some
sonnets
that
liuing
honored
you
,
and
cause
him
to
liue
,
in
dispight
of
repining
fate
,
This
is
the
richest
Epithite
my
loue
can
bestow
vpon
him
,
he
was
borne
honorable
,
experience
made
him
wise
,
education
learned
,
and
these
were
his
honors
,
yet
his
cares
were
great
to
maintaine
them
.
He
alwaies
tooke
nerest
into
his
fauours
such
as
were
best
aquainted
with
wisdoms
secrets
,
I
am
loath
to
be
long
in
my
induction
,
least
you
grow
weary
,
therefore
I
heare
make
my
period
,
Wishing
you
to
be
contented
,
with
my
willingnesse
to
please
.

The
Commemoration
and
Rights
,
due
to
the
life
and
death
,
of
the
Right
Honourable
,
Robert
,
Earle
of
Salisbury
,
late
deceased
,
Lord
high
Treasurer
of
England
,
and
one
of
his
Maiesties
most
honorable
priuie
Councell
.
THe
originall
of
Nobility
,
may
well
bee
compared
to
a
small
spring
of
water
,
whose
good
desert
makes
a
gratefull
King
to
inlarge
to
a
great
Riuer
,
for
the
which
hee
is
bound
to
pay
duty
to
the
said
King
his
Ocean
,
not
vnfitly
aplyed
to
the
late
deceased
noble
personage
,
Robert
Earle
of
Salisbury
,
for
that
all
his
Springs
and
currants
were
so
well
ordered
,
that
they
paid
their
full
due
to
the
royall
Ocean
of
his
two
Soueraignes
,
Quéene
Elizabeth
of
famous
memory
,
and
our
now
liedge
Lord
and
monarch
King
Iames
of
great
Brittain
:
For
euen
both
of
them
by
a
singular
Judgment
,
inspired
from
God
aboue
,
cast
not
onely
an
eye-sight
but
an
in-sight
into
the
behauiour
and
carriage
of
this
man
,
vpon
whom
God
had
bestowed
in
all
his
actions
a
deseruing
wisdom
,
in
regard
whereof
they
both
gratiously
bestowed
vpon
him
many
roomes
of
honor
,
but
especially
our
now
suruiuing
&
oueraigne
,
who
being
a
most
prudent
prince
,
retayned
an
inward
examination
of
the
strength
and
habillitie
of
his
Judgment
,
concerning
publick
causes
,
wherewith
he
was
plentifully
inriched
,
and
indued
with
the
treasure
of
state-vnderstanding
,
as
for
example
,
he
is
a
right
Noble
man
,
that
ascends
to
the
titles
of
Nobilitie
,
by
vertuous
actions
merited
,
which
is
the
calling
that
dignifieth
greatnesse
:
It
is
not
the
rich
reuenues
,
faire
possessions
▪
pleasant
houses
,
many
Lordships
,
and
infinite
riches
,
that
can
make
a
noble
man
,
(
all
are
externall
actions
,
and
subiect
to
the
sodaine
change
of
fortune
▪
)
but
to
be
wise
,
temperate
,
and
discréete
in
all
the
actions
of
his
life
and
conuersation
:
One
vertuous
exploit
is
not
sufficient
to
make
a
m●n
to
be
accompted
euer
after
noble
,
but
a
cont●nuance
in
the
same
nor
is
euery
one
that
liueth
vertuously
,
forth-with
a
Noble
man
,
or
a
Gentleman
:
but
he
onely
whose
vertue
is
profitable
to
his
King
and
countrey
,
and
th●se
and
such
like
men
,
his
Maiesty
,
by
a
secret
in-sight
of
knowledge
,
estéemeth
worthy
to
beare
coates
of
armes
,
and
in
his
meere
affections
vouchsafeth
to
giue
them
the
inioy●ng
of
diuerse
honorable
priuiledges
,
for
seruices
done
to
his
highnesse
and
the
kingdome
:
coates
of
armes
▪
thus
gamed
,
rema●ne
vnto
their
off-spring
,
to
incite
them
,
neuer
to
be
weary
of
well
deseruing
,
and
doth
not
only
teach
to
follow
ancestors
but
also
to
guide
successors
;
for
William
Lord
Burleigh
,
Lord
Treasurer
to
Quéene
Elizabeth
,
and
Father
to
this
Honorable
Earle
deceased
,
was
the
first
spring
of
this
house
graced
,
on
whose
life
,
spent
in
the
benefit
of
his
country
,
may
bee
a
subiect
for
all
writers
to
excercise
their
pregnant
wits
on
,
and
imploy
their
learned
hands
.
The
second
assay
of
this
houses
honor
,
was
partly
by
imitation
,
for
vnder
the
wise
,
and
state-experienced
tutelage
of
the
famous
Councellor
William
Lord
Burleigh
before
named
,
the
late
deceased
Earle
(
his
sonne
)
had
his
education
,
and
vnder
his
wing
sucked
the
Milke
of
deepe
vnderstanding
:
by
which
helpe
he
so
tempered
himselfe
,
that
all
his
actions
seemed
to
tend
to
nought
but
honor
,
vertuou●ly
snatching
at
it
,
euen
in
his
infancie
:
and
as
the
vertuous
children
of
Nobility
,
are
the
hopefull
plants
of
a
common-weale
,
so
his
youth
(
by
his
Fathers
carefull
instructions
)
tempered
with
wisdome
,
promised
succesfull
honor
,
for
hauing
attained
scarce
to
the
yeares
of
man
,
and
newly
entred
into
the
world
but
his
quality
drew
him
into
the
knowledge
of
the
world
,
his
noble
towardnesse
begot
him
estimation
and
that
estimation
extended
into
the
assured
hope
of
succéeding
greatnesse
:
for
by
a
secret
instinct
of
nature
,
helpt
by
continuall
practise
,
taken
from
the
councell
of
his
Father
,
became
so
ready
and
apt
in
state
imploiments
,
that
he
séemed
to
be
like
fish
in
the
sea
,
in
propper
place
:
by
which
meanes
,
his
wise-regarding
Princesse
Quéene
Elizabeth
,
in
her
time
,
and
in
his
Fathers
dayes
gaue
him
the
first
step
to
aduancement
,
made
him
her
principall
Secretarie
,
and
a
Counceller
of
estate
,
a
burthen
of
high
charge
,
but
eased
with
the
swéet
imbracements
of
dignity
:
Béeing
setled
in
this
his
first
honorable
place
,
his
opinion
began
to
haue
some
scope
and
liberty
,
and
by
the
generall
consent
of
the
wisest
States-men
,
obserued
conuenient
for
this
calling
and
office
,
in
the
managing
of
publick
businesses
,
which
was
not
dispatched
without
much
care
and
contemplatiue
study
:
but
héere
marke
the
protection
of
heauen
ouer
this
man
,
whose
forward
spring
had
béene
mixt
with
times
biting
malice
,
had
not
an
equality
in
carriage
guided
him
,
for
in
his
first
grace
he
was
not
onely
depriued
of
his
fathers
helpe
by
death
,
which
was
the
conducter
of
his
nature
and
fortunes
,
but
also
lost
his
deare
and
gratious
Mistresse
Quéene
Elizabeth
,
in
whose
life
consisted
all
his
honors
and
earths
happinesse
.
Those
two
great
losses
had
béene
sufficient
euen
to
haue
curbd
the
forwardnesse
of
all
these
his
noble
preferments
,
by
the
deuouring
téeth
of
enuy
,
which
vpon
sundry
supposit●ons
,
was
(
euen
then
)
whetted
to
make
hauock
of
all
his
fortunes
,
here
was
his
wisdom
tride
vpon
the
tutch
,
the
world
&
time
grew
vnconstant
,
began
to
pick
quarrels
,
misdeemd
honest
actions
,
and
inuented
false
informations
,
yet
was
his
cares
so
watchfull
,
that
he
saued
himselfe
from
the
subtilest
snare
of
secret
enuy
.
At
this
time
the
good
Phisition
,
and
saluer
of
all
sores
,
our
most
gracious
and
prudent
King
possessing
his
royall
rights
,
the
whole
state
of
England
,
and
the
gouernment
thereof
,
came
to
this
his
owne
Kingdome
with
such
magnificence
,
as
all
Christendome
admired
if
,
here
being
setled
with
peace
to
the
great
ioy
of
vs
all
,
with
his
cléere
and
pure
shining
iudgement
,
he
qualified
all
occasions
of
discontent
,
seuering
drosse
from
pure
gold
,
sollid
pearles

according

Amongst
many
others
in
the
ranke
of
nobility
,
graced
by
time
and
fortune
,
this
late
deceased
Earle
of
Salisbury
,
by
his
wise
carriage
and
honorable
accomplishments
,
(
which
here
we
omit
)
begot
such
an
entier
respect
and
inducing
opinion
of
worth
in
the
Kings
regardfull
mind
,
that
his
honors
of
estate
,
by
degrées
came
to
the
height
,
first
(
not
disparaging
his
former
graces
giuen
by
Quéene
Elizabeth
(
but
adding
more
luster
to
his
bright
spreading
fortunes
)
it
pleased
the
Kings
Maiesty
,
whose
wise
and
gentle
disposition
is
to
aduance
the
desertfull
,
first
to
giue
him
the
honorable
title
of
a
Uiscount
,
then
of
an
Earle
,
with
many
other
promotions
and
offices
of
greatnesse
and
charge
,
of
the
which
he
returned
contentfull
satisfaction
to
his
King
and
his
contry
,
and
likewise
being
a
councellor
of
estate
to
his
highnesse
,
attending
neere
his
royall
person
,
offered
vp
his
hearts
trust
in
professed
and
true
loyalty
,
as
the
secrets
of
many
court
businesses
can
verifie
:
processe
of
time
,
and
his
highnesse
fauour
,
lifted
him
higher
in
his
contries
graces
,
for
at
last
he
was
created
Knight
of
the
honorable
order
of
the
Garter
,
and
to
conclude
greatnesse
was
made
Lord
high
Treasurer
of
England
,
an
Office
of
Estate
answerable
to
his
ingenious
iudgment
.
It
was
the
Lord
which
gouernd
all
those
his
actions
,
&
stil
instructed
his
mind
in
the
right
way
of
preferment
,
it
was
the
Lord
that
plast
him
in
authority
,
in
these
honored
offices
,
to
do
right
vnto
all
men
without
respect
of
persons
,
which
waighty
burthens
thus
laid
vppon
him
,
he
carefully
discharged
,
and
with
great
wisedome
dispatched
all
state
businesses
put
vnto
him
,
to
the
great
ease
of
his
royall
soueraigne
,
and
comfort
of
his
contry
:
he
still
remembred
what
he
was
,
wher
he
was
,
&
what
he
should
come
to
be
,
&
hauing
a
continuall
care
of
his
high
establisht
honors
,
with
the
eyes
of
wisdome
he
gouerned
his
family
,
and
retainers
about
him
,
where
if
hee
saw
sheltred
vnder
his
wing
any
deceitfull
Parasite
,
any
male-contented
mutener
,
any
murmuring
whisperer
,
any
infringer
of
honesty
,
ambitious
oppressor
,
or
vnmercifull
briber
:
if
hee
found
any
such
about
him
,
he
swept
them
away
like
Cob-webs
,
because
they
were
consuming
cankers
to
his
honours
,
bloud-suckers
of
his
estate
,
and
betrayers
of
his
prosperitie
.
Thus
purging
his
house
of
these
pestiferous
●uilr
,
hee
intertained
men
of
truth
,
and
placed
about
him
such
in
office
,
as
feared
God
and
loued
the
King
:
Oh
thou
mirror
to
succéeding
times
,
thou
hast
left
thy
well
gouerned
quallities
an
example
to
posterity
,
and
a
neuer
decaying
ornament
to
all
thy
off-spring
:
But
againe
to
our
purpose
:
vertue
was
his
lifes
guide
,
and
in
his
brest
both
Artes
and
law
reposed
,
all
his
chiefest
and
principall
indeuors
were
exercised
in
such
actions
,
as
aduanced
the
glory
of
Gods
truth
,
the
peace
,
the
quiet
,
and
the
prosperity
of
the
common-wealth
,
and
surely
,
that
Nobleman
,
thus
affected
to
his
coun●ries
good
,
is
in
a
right
way
to
the
attaining
of
a
good
estimation
,
grace
and
fauour
with
all
men
,
as
well
Prince
and
Péeres
,
as
the
common
sort
of
people
.
In
like
sort
,
this
ground-worke
of
our
subiect
,
I
meane
,
this
deceased
Councellor
of
estate
,
fixed
his
whole
resolution
in
the
like
purchase
,
vsing
no
indirect
meanes
,
but
confined
himselfe
within
the
bounds
of
reason
and
wisdom
,
from
the
which
hee
did
not
start
nor
stray
,
either
for
the
loue
of
his
owne
priuate
profit
or
pleasure
,
nor
for
the
feare
of
purchasing
any
other
subiects
displeasure
,
hee
neuer
vsed
sinister
meanes
,
to
wring
and
wrest
away
other
mens
estates
,
nor
deuised
too
gréedy
taxations
to
impouerish
the
country
,
he
enuyed
no
mans
prosperity
,
nor
maligned
the
honorable
purchasers
of
his
Princes
fauours
neither
pr●ed
into
any
mens
fautes
such
as
hurt
not
,
or
disturbd
not
the
quiet
of
the
state
,
but
was
sorry
when
any
traytorus
plot
was
wrought
against
his
Princes
safety
,
or
the
peace
of
the
common-wealth
,
and
had
an
honorable
regard
to
men
of
high
place
and
calling
:
Not-with-standing
all
this
there
be
some
ignoble
spirits
,
I
meane
the
common
monster
with
many
heads
,
which
seekes
by
scandalous
speeches
,
to
moue
all
his
former
fame
,
and
to
mipe
the
remembrance
of
his
credit
from
the
br●w
of
the
kingdome
,
but
surely
in
my
mind
it
can
be
no
other
but
the
poysonous
plots
and
deuises
of
rebellious
Papists
to
take
away
the
deserued
honors
of
his
name
:
The
deuouring
téeth
of
such
wicked
Uipers
,
the
Papists
I
meane
,
which
seeks
to
eate
out
the
bowelle
of
this
their
natiue
country
,
long
hath
his
●illigence
labored
to
beat
forth
,
and
many
of
them
hath
his
wisdome
and
god-speeding
pollicy
discouered
,
abating
the
swelling
pride
,
enuy
,
and
sedition
of
these
hatchers
of
vnnaturall
treasons
,
and
brought
them
all
to
a
swift
distruction
,
giuing
them
titles
of
the
worlds
scandals
,
wh●n
their
liues
were
smothered
vp
in
a
helples
repentance
:
These
in
my
opinion
be
the
asured
libellors
,
but
l●t
enuy
spit
her
gall
,
malice
her
poyson
,
and
hell
it selfe
open
her
gates
to
let
out
furies
for
this
accursed
sla●der
,
vertue
and
time
will
outweare
it
,
and
con●ecrate
his
noble
life
to
lasting
memory
,
for
the
opinion
of
the
world
is
setled
in
his
deserued
commendation
,
England
his
natiue
country
,
the
seate
of
his
aduancements
,
can
witnesse
the
contrary
:
w●o
can
but
aplause
his
wisdome
?
Neighboring
France
affords
him
high
deserued
praise
,
whereas
in
Ambasage
in
the
raigne
of
Quéene
Elisabeth
hee
performed
the
honorable
actions
of
a
wise
and
well
gouerned
states
man
:
for
the
good
of
Holland
,
Zeland
Brabant
,
and
those
low
country
prouinces
,
Englands
associats
,
hath
his
perswasions
with
his
prince
preuailed
,
&
they
obta●ned
men
&
mony
.
Ierland
ouer-burdened
with
vntam●d
rebells
,
hath
beene
like-wise
succored
through
his
councells
,
and
cherisht
in
the
lowest
ebb
,
which
country
now
blest
with
peace
,
liues
in
quiet
subiection
vnder
our
heauen
▪
blest
soueraine
▪
whom
God
preserue
.
What
shall
I
speake
of
Spaine
and
Italy
,
the
one
feard
him
,
the
other
admired
him
and
to
locke
vp
al
descriptions
of
worth
,
his
name
retayned
a
generall
opinion
of
the
worlds
loue
.
I
neede
not
speake
much
of
the
excelent
buildings
and
workes
of
great
magnificence
he
adorned
England
with
,
as
well
in
the
country
as
h●are
about
this
wonder-famed
citty
of
London
,
now
fresh
in
memory
,
and
visible
in
this
age
,
all
subiects
of
honored
bounty
,
worth
,
and
beauty
,
remayning
to
the
inheritance
of
his
noble
posterity
.
Yet
let
me
a
little
speake
of
his
Godly
deuotion
,
charity
,
&
compassion
on
the
poore
:
who
tasting
of
his
annuall
bounty
are
witnesses
of
his
Christian
conuersation
,
amongst
all
others
,
the
guifts
and
yearely
pensions
,
bestowed
at
Theohalls
,
vpon
aged
,
and
ouer-worne
Captaines
,
gentle-men
by
birth
and
calling
,
stands
gratious
in
the
worlds
eye
,
for
their
lost
blood
,
spent
in
the
seruice
of
their
Prince
and
country
,
hath
he
most
honorably
recompenced
with
sufficient
mayntenance
,
with
soft
beds
to
rest
their
mained
limbs
vpon
.
Many
other
memorable
guifts
haue
proceeded
from
his
liberality
,
to
his
eternall
fame
,
and
liues
grace
▪
which
I
leaue
to
the
worlds
consideration
,
to
be
a
patterne
to
suruiuing
greatnesse
.
But
now
I
am
to
forsake
the
remembrance
of
these
his
aduanced
honors
and
wade
into
an
Ocean
of
deepe
sorrows
,
lamentable
sorrows
for
this
generall
losse
,
this
deare
losse
of
his
worlds-beloued
life
:
yet
are
we
not
to
contemplate
thereon
,
it
was
diuine
prouidence
to
haue
it
:
Time
hath
a
sweet
course
,
and
begets
sodaine
changes
,
he
liu●d
not
to
the
period
of
nature
,
but
was
taken
away
,
euen
in
his
midle
age
,
euen
in
the
fulnesse
of
promotions
,
which
seuerity
of
death
,
when
I
thinke
vpon
,
brings
to
my
heart
,
ouer-ruling
passions
,
and
constraines
me
sighingly
to
say
.
Ah
me
things
pretious
,
and
of
purest
prize
:
For-sake
the
Earth
,
to
mount
aboue
the
skies
.
And
now
I
am
to
satisfie
the
world
of
his
Magnanimity
sh●wed
at
his
liues
last
hower
,
as
it
was
credibly
reported
in
open
audience
,
by
a
man
of
spiritual
calling
,
and
neere
to
him
both
in
life
and
death
:
this
man
of
worth
liuing
in
al
liberty
of
pleasures
,
inuironed
with
all
earthly
contentment
at
that
dreadfull
hower
feared
not
death
:
the
memory
of
death
had
no
bitternesse
;
no
disquietnesse
troubled
his
mind
,
he
gréeued
not
to
leaue
his
beautifull
buildings
,
his
rich
and
curious
Architectures
,
his
faire
alurements
and
his
many
pleasures
,
his
courtlike
traines
,
gallant
attendants
and
bare-headed
petitioners
.
It
was
no
sorrow
to
his
heart
to
depart
,
and
leaue
them
all
behind
,
neither
feared
he
the
voyce
of
the
world
,
mixed
with
scandall
,
which
still
makes
misconstrued
suppositions
of
great
mens
liues
,
the
which
commonly
they
are
taxed
with
,
but
his
pure
white
innocency
dreaded
not
this
putrifiing
canker
that
créepes
about
the
tombes
of
Nobility
:
reason
and
nature
told
him
he
must
néeds
goe
,
and
appeare
before
that
great
King
of
all
Kings
,
and
receaue
the
reward
of
his
liues
passages
vpon
Earth
:
Thus
ran
out
his
glasse
,
and
faded
his
liues-sunne
,
being
ouer-shaddowed
with
the
Sable
clouds
of
Death
.
When
vpon
this
mouldy
stage
of
the
Earth
,
he
acted
the
last
part
of
his
life
before
the
eyes
of
the
world
;
his
departing-iesture
moued
sad
compassion
,
his
words
seasoned
with
deadly
sighes
,
bathed
the
hearers
chéekes
with
distilling
teares
,
making
confession
of
his
secret
sins
,
calling
for
helpe
of
prayer
,
and
like
a
hungar-starued
Pilgrim
,
cryed
to
that
honorable
,
heauenly
houshoulder
,
saying
,
Oh
good
God
,
open
the
gates
of
thy
mercies
,
to
the
greatnesse
of
my
miseries
,
vnfould
the
ports
of
thy
vnspeakable
pitty
to
my
wearied
spirit
:
receaue
my
soule
into
thy
hands
,
and
anoynt
hir
festred
wounds
with
the
blood
of
thy
imaculate
Lambe
Christ
Iesus
▪
so
yeelding
vp
the
ghoast
,
hee
left
this
world
for
a
better
.
Vncertenty
of
state
,
may
well
seeme
strange
,
When
great
men
seated
vp
in
high
renowne
,
By
time
and
death
,
with
vnexpected
change
,
Are
thus
from
all
their
glories
tumbled
downe
.
Then
what
are
we
but
fooles
of
selfe
conceat
,
When
our
best
ioyes
stands
in
a
wauering
state
.
Dull
earthly
drosse
,
wherein
consistes
thy
pride
,
Thy
state
,
and
greatest
glory
goes
to
ground
,
Thy
bed
of
wormes
wherein
thou
shalt
abide
Will
be
corrupted
,
and
thou
filthy
found
.
Our
sun-shine
hopes
,
thus
time
sweepes
fast
away
,
This
night
we
liue
,
but
die
before
next
day
.
The
funeral
of
the
said
Earle
of
Salisbury
holden
at
Hatfield
in
June
last
,
is
heere
described
in
a
short
formall
proceeding
order
.
BEing
at
Hatfield
in
Hartfordshire
in
Iune
last
,
my
eye
presented
to
my
heart
,
the
worlds
last
farewell
giuen
to
the
right
honorable
the
late
Earle
of
Salsbury
,
A
due
,
that
blood
,
consanguinity
,
and
affinity
customably
bestowes
vpon
the
deceased
,
the
sight
whereof
settled
within
me
many
priuate
sorrowes
for
the
losse
of
so
great
a
subiect
,
whose
late
liuing
honors
carried
such
a
sway
in
his
contry
,
that
in
a
sad
passion
it
made
me
accuse
deathes
partiallity
,
in
taking
of
his
life
,
but
smothering
griefe
for
a
time
in
silence
,
I
stood
amazedly
beholding
a
traine
of
noble
personages
,
in
sable
habits
trayling
on
the
ground
,
witnesses
,
and
presenters
of
Englands
heauinesse
,
for
so
general
a
losse
:
black
cloudy
garments
outwardly
equalized
their
inward
sorrowes
,
and
this
following

as
neere
as
I
can
remember
)
was
the
order
of
the
mourning
passengers
.
First
,
diuers

Next

the

Being

conclusion
of
all

labours

(
as
duty
binds
me
)
I
end
.
