The
Complaint
of
England
.
England
speaketh
.
THe
sorrowes
which
I
haue
locked
vp
within
the
closet
of
my
amazed
thoughts
,
springing
from
the
infected
puddle
of
those
vnnaturall
and
mischieuous
attemptes
,
that
haue
bene
lately
practised
for
the
working
of
my
ruine
,
by
vndermining
of
my
state
,
are
now
grown
to
such
extremitie
of
passion
,
that
they
,
in
a
maner
,
bereaue
my
soule
of
comfort
,
and
debarre
my
speeche
of
passage
.
And
although
I
haue
small
hope
by
my
perswasions
to
restraine
them
from
trecherous
and
desperate
enterprises
,
Come
neare
me
yet
my
sonnes
,
my
disobedient
sounes
:
(
woe
is
me
that
the
instinct
of
nature
inforceth
me
to
call
you
sonnes
,
who
haue
so
muche
degenerated
in
your
vngratious
behauiours
,
that
you
shame
and
scorne
to
acknowledge
me
for
your
mother
)
come
neare
me
(
I
say
)
sequester
not
your selues
from
my
presence
,
but
tell
me
from
what
ground
this
strangenesse
ariseth
.
If
from
feare
;
(
which
I
hardly
beleeue
)
know
that
I
which
inclosed
you
in
my
bowels
,
nursed
you
at
my
brests
,
imbraced
you
in
mine
arms
,
and
carry
you
stil
ingrauen
on
the
table
of
my
heart
,
haue
not
forgotten
the
affection
of
a
mother
,
but
am
willing
to
grant
you
pardon
for
your
faults
,
if
you
can
finde
grace
to
be
sorie
for
the
same
:
and
therefore
be
not
afraid
.
If
from
shame
;
(
which
I
heartily
wish
)
then
shall
I
thinke
that
this
is
the
first
step
to
your
amendment
,
when
I
perceiue
you
abasht
at
the
conceit
of
your
former
lewdnes
;
and
then
shall
I
hope
you
will
take
a
newe
course
,
when
I
see
you
breake
off
from
your
olde
bias
.
It
is
no
shame
to
be
ashamed
of
euill
doing
:
it
is
neuer
too
late
to
reforme
bad
conditions
.
The
medicine
commeth
not
out
of
time
that
bringeth
remedie
when
it
is
ministred
:
and
therefore
set
shame
aside
.
If
from
selfe-loue
or
malice
;
Say
on
then
;
what
sufficient
reasons
,
or
what
iniurious
surmises
feede
this
discontented
humour
in
you
?
Why
speake
you
not
?
what
argueth
this
stlence
?
this
guiltie
silence
?
May
it
sound
credible
in
any
impartiall
eares
,
that
you
haue
with
such
rigorous
censure
condemned
me
,
with
such
vnslakt
thirst
of
reuenge
persecuted
me
,
against
whome
you
cannot
alleadge
anie
colourable
accusation
?
Answere
me
,
and
so
disburden
your
consciences
;
or
else
bethinke
you
what
aunswere
you
wil
then
frame
,
when
you
shal
be
summoned
to
appeare
before
the
supreme
tribunal
in
the
highest
court
of
Parlement
;
where
you
cannot
pleade
by
proxie
,
nor
entertain
your
attourney
;
where
al
popish
dispensations
shall
be
frustrate
;
where
no
construction
of
aduantage
wil
be
admitted
;
where
deuised
cauils
shal
be
excluded
;
where
God
himself
shal
be
plaintife
,
aduocate
,
and
iudge
,
to
commence
action
,
to
beare
witnes
,
&
to
pronounce
sentence
against
you
.
If
I
had
consumed
your
wealth
by
the
exactions
of
Naples
,
if
I
had
disturbed
your
quiet
by
the
Inquisition
of
Seuill
,
Know
ye
not
that
he
who
dwelleth
in
heauen
,
It
is
manifest
that
Dauid
the
chosen
seruant
of
God
,
See
,
the
daie
is
come
whereof
the
Lord
said
vnto
thee
,
Behold
I
will
deliuer
thine
enimie
into
thine
hand
,
and
thou
shalt
doe
with
him
as
it
shall
seeme
good
to
thee
:
Dauid
:
Thou
art
more
righteous
then
I
:
for
I
haue
wrought
thee
euil
,
and
thou
hast
rendered
me
good
:
for
who
shall
find
his
enimie
,
and
let
him
depart
free
?
And
afterwarde
(
as
appeareth
in
thesequel
of
the
historie
)
when
Saules
power
fighting
against
the
Philistines
,
was
discomfited
,
and
himselfe
despairing
of
victorie
,
and
wearie
of
life
,
fell
vpon
the
point
of
his
sword
:
at
such
time
as
a
young
man
of
the
Amalekites
,
thinking
to
deliuer
an
acceptable
message
,
and
hoping
he
should
haue
reaped
a
gladsome
welcome
for
reporting
such
ioyfull
tidings
,
tolde
vnto
Dauid
that
he
at
the
intreatie
and
instant
request
of
Saule
,
had
dispatched
him
of
his
life
,
the
enioying
whereof
was
irkesome
and
full
of
anguish
vnto
him
:
and
more
,
lest
he
should
haue
omitted
anie
thing
,
that
hee
thought
might
gratifie
Dauid
,
or
worke
his
singuler
contentment
,
he
presented
him
with
the
crowne
that
he
had
taken
from
Saules
head
,
thereby
both
confirming
the
truth
of
his
spéeches
,
and
also
(
after
a
sort
)
installing
Dauid
in
possession
of
the
same
:
yet
was
he
so
farre
from
reioycing
,
either
in
that
his
aduersaries
death
had
finished
his
troubles
,
and
assured
him
of
his
life
with
securitie
,
or
that
none
other
could
forestall
him
in
obtaining
the
kingdom
,
that
he
rent
his
clothes
,
wept
&
fasted
vntill
euening
,
and
then
said
to
the
messenger
:
How
wast
thou
not
affraid
to
put
forth
thine
hand
to
destroie
the
annointed
of
the
Lord
?
Thy
bloud
be
vpon
thine
owne
head
;
for
thine
owne
mouth
hath
testified
against
thee
.
And
therewith
commanded
one
of
his
seruants
to
fall
vpon
him
,
who
smote
him
that
hee
dyed
.
This
one
example
,
if
the
volume
of
Gods
booke
,
(
which
is
the
testament
of
his
trueth
,
and
the
storehouse
of
his
promises
)
did
not
afforde
any
greater
plentie
,
might
alone
suffice
,
for
the
deciding
of
a
question
so
néedlesse
,
and
so
vngodlie
.
This
alone
might
serue
for
the
suppressing
of
such
hatefull
conspiracies
,
as
the
gracelesse
broodes
of
mongrell
monsters
(
I
meane
English
Italianates
)
doe
ingender
and
hatch
within
their
diuelish
conceites
.
This
,
yea
this
being
authentike
,
vndoubted
,
and
entangled
with
no
scruple
,
might
alone
serue
for
a
most
exquisite
president
,
whereto
ye
ought
to
conforme
your
thoughtes
,
and
whereby
ye
ought
to
confirme
that
reuerend
opinion
,
which
all
men
are
to
carrie
of
lawfull
Princes
being
Gods
deputies
.
In
the
which
sithence
there
are
diuers
occurrents
well
worthie
the
obseruation
,
it
will
not
be
impertinent
slightly
to
glaunce
at
,
and
briefly
to
comprise
the
resemblances
and
differences
,
which
shew
themselues
in
this
fact
of
Dauid
,
and
this
faction
of
yours
:
that
for
so
much
as
the
nature
of
contraries
is
best
tryed
by
matching
and
comparing
the
one
with
the
other
:
therefore
by
how
much
the
fact
of
Dauid
shall
appeare
more
iust
and
righteous
,
by
so
much
will
your
faction
be
proued
more
odious
and
damnable
.
Saule
,
because
he
disobeyed
the
commandement
of
the
Lorde
vttered
by
the
mouth
of
the
Prophet
Samuel
,
was
forsaken
of
God
:
Gods
holy
spirite
departed
from
him
,
and
an
euil
spirite
tooke
possession
of
him
:
Dauid
was
by
Samuel
annointed
king
in
his
steade
.
Yet
would
he
not
presume
to
dispossesse
Saule
of
his
kingdom
:
but
endured
grieuous
calamities
which
by
the
malice
of
Saule
were
inflicted
vpon
him
.
He
was
distressed
in
the
townes
with
doubt
of
trecheries
;
vexed
in
the
wildernesse
with
the
scourge
of
penurie
;
reproched
by
the
churle
Nabal
with
the
infamous
title
of
runnagate
;
constrained
in
king
Achis
Court
to
counterfeit
madnesse
;
sustaining
a
burthen
of
miseries
heauier
then
Aetna
,
and
almost
ouerwhelmed
with
an
Ocean
of
perplexities
.
Yet
did
hée
with
all
méekenesse
and
patience
attend
the
Lordes
leasure
,
Saule
was
reiected
of
God
,
yet
durst
not
Dauid
annoye
him
:
your
dread
soueraigne
being
legitimate
heire
and
rightfull
successor
,
was
both
established
by
God
,
and
allowed
by
men
;
and
is
at
this
daie
by
his
singular
prouidence
so
miraculouslye
preserued
,
that
your
wicked
imaginations
had
ere
this
béen
her
destruction
,
and
with
her
had
manie
thousandes
perished
,
and
with
them
your selues
(
howsoeuer
you
perswade
your selues
)
had
not
he
ouerspread
her
with
the
resplendisant
beames
of
his
fatherly
protection
.
But
you
will
saie
shée
was
excommunicated
by
Pius
Quintus
:
(
more
truly
might
he
be
termed
Impius
)
this
obiection
,
though
it
might
verie
well
haue
béene
answered
with
silence
,
béeing
so
weake
,
lame
,
and
out
of
ioynt
as
it
is
:
yet
hath
it
béene
so
throughly
canuased
,
and
so
plainelie
confuted
alreadie
,
that
it
hath
good
cause
as
much
to
be
ashamed
of
the
patrones
and
defenders
thereof
,
as
they
haue
iust
reason
(
had
they
anie
reason
at
all
)
to
bee
ashamed
of
it
.
Onely
,
of
Pope
Pius
the
thunderer
of
that
excommunication
,
and
of
his
equalles
,
the
Popes
I
meane
,
(
for
of
equalitie
otherwise
,
the
Papacie
is
by
all
meanes
impatient
,
and
can
no
more
tolerate
a
compéere
,
then
the
firmament
can
conteine
two
Sunnes
:
as
one
of
their
owne
side
full
learnedly
squared
out
the
comparison
)
thus
much
will
I
saie
:
Cui
plus
licet
quàm
par
est
,
plus
vult
quàm
licet
:
Hee
that
maie
doo
more
then
is
méete
,
wil
doo
more
then
he
maie
.
But
to
procéede
:
did
not
opportunitie
of
reuenge
with
vnfolded
armes
present
her selfe
to
Dauid
,
at
such
time
as
Saule
vnaccompanied
entered
into
the
caue
where
Dauid
with
his
assistants
were
assembled
?
Saule
had
often
serued
him
with
a
crooked
measure
:
I
thinke
it
not
requisite
too
much
to
insist
vpon
euerie
particular
circumstance
of
the
comparison
;
but
I
would
wishe
you
to
weigh
this
with
your selues
.
Dauid
for
feare
withdrew
himselfe
from
Saules
presence
:
some
of
you
of
malicious
intent
estrange
your selues
,
Marcus
Antonius
,
beeing
wholie
ouercome
and
swallowed
vp
with
sorrow
,
set
two
Aspes
to
her
brestes
,
which
benumming
her
senses
cast
her
into
a
sléep
,
into
a
dead
sléepe
,
euen
into
her
last
sléepe
.
In
like
maner
,
you
fastening
vpon
those
that
are
as
deuoutly
addicted
to
the
flesh
pots
of
Egypt
,
as
euer
the
Egyptian
Nueene
was
enamoured
of
Antonie
,
and
yet
seeming
to
haue
queasie
stomackes
,
loath
the
heauenly
Manna
,
accounting
it
a
light
meate
,
of
euill
nourishment
and
hard
digestion
:
ye
strike
while
the
yron
is
hote
,
and
finding
them
plyable
to
alteration
,
yee
worke
them
like
waxe
,
féeding
their
humors
,
and
promising
to
restore
their
olde
delightes
:
and
so
with
your
poysoned
perswasions
,
yée
rocke
some
a
sléepe
in
ignorance
;
others
ye
bring
to
their
latest
sleepe
,
and
their
longest
home
.
This
is
the
leauell
of
your
deuise
;
Tullus
Hostilius
:
yea
,
let
them
feare
,
least
the
fire
of
his
indignation
deuoure
them
,
as
the
flame
licketh
vp
the
stuble
,
and
least
he
raine
downe
vpon
them
snares
,
fire
,
brimstone
,
storme
and
tempest
:
for
this
is
the
portion
of
hypocrites
.
Yet
if
yee
did
thus
desist
,
and
surcease
from
heaping
vp
the
full
measure
of
your
wickednes
,
then
should
not
my
soule
be
confounded
with
so
great
astonishment
.
But
as
the
wilde
Iuie
creeping
along
on
the
grounde
,
beginneth
at
the
first
to
imbrace
the
lower
part
of
the
Oke
,
and
so
cunningly
climeth
vp
by
degrées
,
till
at
last
it
ouerpéere
the
highest
braunch
,
and
then
eating
through
the
rinde
pierceth
to
the
inward
pithe
,
sucketh
out
the
purest
sappe
and
naturall
moisture
,
to
the
imperishing
and
decaying
of
the
whole
trunke
:
or
as
poison
hauing
attainted
the
least
member
of
the
bodie
,
and
farthest
distant
from
the
heart
,
disperseth
it selfe
into
the
hidden
passages
of
the
veines
,
and
beateth
vp
and
down
in
euery
path
till
it
haue
founde
the
high-way
to
the
heart
:
where
so
soone
as
it
is
setled
,
it
bendeth
his
force
,
and
exerciseth
all
violence
,
till
it
haue
choked
the
fountaine
,
and
rased
the
foundation
of
life
:
so
doo
yée
laye
your
platforme
,
first
by
parasiticall
insinuation
to
nestle
in
the
consciences
of
inferiour
persons
,
hoping
to
fortifie
your
faction
,
by
linking
a
multitude
into
the
same
confederacie
:
but
the
marke
you
shoote
at
,
is
the
sacred
person
of
her
maiesty
.
But
before
eyther
your
dissembled
zeale
,
or
your
glosing
flattery
,
or
your
deadly
poyson
,
take
so
déepe
roote
,
rise
to
so
full
height
,
or
breede
so
incurable
a
mischiefe
:
your
hope
shall
(
I
hope
)
be
disappointed
,
your selues
shal
be
rooted
from
that
earth
,
and
rotte
in
the
ayre
,
that
so
your
venome
may
returne
into
your
owne
bosomes
.
Neuer
were
the
fennes
of
Lerna
so
daungerous
:
neuer
was
that
monster
Hidra
so
pernicious
,
to
the
inhabitantes
bordering
and
confining
thereby
:
as
the
dennes
of
traitrous
papists
,
and
the
deuises
of
that
seuen-headed
Romish
Beast
would
prooue
fatall
to
me
and
mine
,
if
the
puissant
and
victorious
Lion
of
the
tribe
of
Iuda
,
did
not
with
vigilant
eyes
watch
ouer
vs
for
our
defence
,
and
with
his
outstretched
arme
vpholde
vs
from
falling
into
the
gaping
iawes
and
bottomles
gulfe
of
so
rauening
a
bloodsucker
.
It
is
recorded
in
history
,
howe
that
notable
robber
Cacus
was
accustomed
to
dragge
cattell
backwarde
by
the
tayles
into
his
Caue
:
to
the
ende
that
the
print
of
theyr
footing
appearing
contrary
,
he
might
escape
free
from
suspition
of
the
theft
:
so
is
it
your
fashion
to
inuegle
diuerse
of
those
whom
you
intend
to
make
attors
in
your
tragicall
exploites
,
giuing
them
instructions
to
practise
popular
demeanure
,
and
carry
a
countenance
of
ordinary
conformity
,
in
tenebris
:
yet
if
that
carefull
circumspection
be
had
,
which
the
necessity
of
these
times
requireth
,
and
the
sutlety
of
such
enimies
importunately
craueth
,
it
wil
be
a
matter
of
no
great
difficultye
,
to
discerne
the
Wolues
,
though
they
wander
in
sheepes
clothinge
,
by
the
noyse
of
theyr
howling
:
and
to
descrye
the
Asse
,
though
he
iette
in
the
Lyons
skinne
,
by
the
length
of
his
eares
.
Yea
,
vnlesse
the
multitude
of
our
offences
stop
the
course
of
Gods
mercies
,
and
eclypse
the
brightnesse
of
his
fauour
that
hath
so
long
shyned
vpon
vs
,
hee
will
so
disclose
theyr
whisperinges
in
theyr
secret
chambers
,
that
they
shal
be
preached
on
the
house
tops
:
he
will
cause
the
foules
of
the
ayre
,
&
the
beastes
of
the
fielde
to
bewraye
&
proclayme
theyr
driftes
,
manifesting
his
glory
in
the
preseruation
of
his
heritage
,
&
confusion
of
theyr
aduersaries
.
And
as
he
broke
the
wheeles
of
the
Egyptians
Chariots
,
when
they
pursued
the
Israelites
:
so
will
hee
dashe
in
pieces
all
theyr
engins
,
&
force
them
to
crie
out
,
as
the
Egyptians
then
did
,
saying
:
Wee
will
flee
from
the
face
of
Israell
,
Then
shall
they
that
haue
accepted
the
wages
of
vnrighteousnes
,
burst
out
with
Balaam
into
these
words
:
With
this
hope
,
as
with
a
precious
cordiall
,
doo
I
recomfort
my
languishing
spirites
:
with
this
as
with
a
soueraigne
restority
,
doo
I
reuiue
my
fainting
courage
:
with
this
as
with
a
gentle
emplaster
,
doo
I
qualifie
the
rigor
of
my
passionate
and
biting
grieuances
,
knowing
that
he
which
kéepeth
Israell
,
doth
neither
slumber
nor
sleepe
:
This
is
the
Lords
doing
,
&
it
is
wonderfull
in
our
eyes
.
Wonderfull
in
deede
,
and
passing
wonderfull
,
if
we
behold
it
with
fleshly
eyes
,
&
measure
it
by
the
leuell
of
carnall
capacity
:
but
if
God
sharpen
the
eyesight
of
our
faith
,
then
shall
wee
clearely
perceiue
,
that
he
tendereth
the
safety
of
his
chosen
,
as
the
apple
of
hie
eye
,
&
causeth
all
his
creatures
to
imploy
theyr
seruice
to
their
behoofe
:
giuing
withall
his
and
their
enimies
to
vnderstand
,
that
al
wisdome
is
folly
,
and
all
strength
infirmitye
,
that
is
opposed
against
the
Lord
of
hoastes
.
Now
séeing
the
matter
standeth
thus
,
tell
me
(
yée
peruerse
generation
)
with
what
hope
doo
yée
cast
to
contriue
so
execrable
purposes
?
Ieroboam
?
Behold
,
to
obaie
is
better
then
sacrifice
:
and
to
hearken
to
the
voice
of
God
,
is
better
then
the
fat
of
Rammes
.
How
can
Dagon
the
Idoll
of
the
Philistines
stand
,
where
the
Arke
of
God
is
in
place
?
néedes
must
he
fall
flat
to
th'
earth
:
and
though
the
Idolatrous
priests
labour
to
erect
him
againe
,
yet
shall
his
latter
fall
be
more
shamefull
then
the
first
:
his
head
&
his
hands
shal
be
cut
of
:
he
shall
neither
haue
the
reason
,
nor
the
power
to
lift
vp
himselfe
any
more
.
Spectatum
admissirisum
teneatis
amici
?
Frendes
,
had
you
leaue
to
looke
your
fill
,
how
could
you
chuse
but
laugh
?
Why
then
are
yee
so
highly
offended
that
Dagon
is
falne
?
why
take
ye
it
so
at
the
heart
,
that
I
haue
abridged
his
authority
,
&
emptied
my
cask
of
such
stinking
dregs
?
haue
I
done
any
other
thing
then
cast
corrupted
&
vnsauery
salt
on
the
dunghill
,
as
his
proper
place
?
Therefore
let
me
say
vnto
you
,
as
Ioas
said
to
the
men
the
were
so
furiously
incensed
against
Gedeon
,
for
breaking
down
the
altar
of
Baal
:
Dauid
sorrowed
&
repented
him selfe
in
that
he
had
cut
off
Saules
skirt
.
O
griefe
to
be
commended
so
accompanied
with
grace
.
You
storme
&
repine
that
you
cannot
cut
short
the
blossome
of
my
ioy
,
&
glory
of
my
garland
.
O
griefe
to
be
condemned
so
far
past
all
grace
.
But
repent
,
repent
euen
while
it
is
called
too
day
:
fall
downe
vpon
the
bended
knees
of
your
hearts
before
the
Lords
footestoole
:
with
all
humility
and
supplication
sue
for
grace
at
the
throne
of
grace
.
Which
vnles
yée
doo
,
know
for
a
certainty
,
that
as
Dauids
commendation
dyeth
not
,
so
your
condemnation
sléepeth
not
:
only
the
Lord
lifteth
vp
his
hand
on
high
,
that
he
may
inflict
the
déeper
wound
when
he
striketh
.
Had
Zimri
peace
that
slewe
his
maister
?
Which
spéech
,
though
it
were
grounded
vpon
a
wrong
coniecture
:
(
because
that
burden
was
specially
layde
vpon
the
house
of
Ahab
by
Gods
appointment
,
and
Iehu
particularly
deputed
to
that
charge
:
whereas
Zimri
hauing
no
expresse
warrant
to
showe
,
went
further
then
his
commission
extended
)
yet
it
implyeth
thus
much
,
that
she
thought
it
a
most
odious
crime
,
&
was
also
perswaded
that
vengeance
shoulde
duely
and
continually
attend
vpon
the
same
,
euen
at
the
hard
heeles
,
as
it
had
done
vpon
Zimri
.
And
therefore
Jezebel
,
not
able
to
discerne
the
difference
in
those
deedes
,
nor
to
giue
a
distinction
answerable
to
the
natures
of
the
facts
,
vpon
premises
of
diuers
quality
,
inferred
probably
,
though
indirectly
,
a
semblable
conclusion
.
For
albeit
the
Lord
by
that
mouth
of
his
Prophet
denounced
dreadfull
threatninges
against
the
family
of
Baasha
:
yet
was
not
Zimri
commaunded
to
conspire
against
Elah
the
sonne
of
Baasha
,
nor
by
killing
of
him
to
aspire
to
the
kingdome
,
nor
by
incroching
vpon
the
kingdome
to
roote
out
the
stocke
of
Baasha
.
Therefore
the
treason
that
hee
wrought
against
his
Lorde
and
maister
,
the
crueltyes
hee
practysed
agaynst
that
house
&
linage
,
were
requited
vnto
him
,
at
such
time
as
the
hearts
of
the
people
being
alienated
from
him
,
they
consented
to
abrogate
that
vsurped
authority
,
as
the
birdes
agreed
to
disrobe
Aesopes
dawe
of
his
stolne
plumes
:
and
making
Omri
their
generall
,
they
went
&
besieged
Tirzah
,
where
Zimri
kept
him selfe
in
holde
:
which
being
taken
,
he
for
feare
he
should
haue
faln
into
his
enimies
handes
,
fled
into
the
kings
pallace
,
and
setting
the
house
on
fire
burnt
him selfe
and
so
dyed
.
So
then
the
difference
to
be
noted
betwene
Iehu
and
Zimri
is
apparant
inough
.
Whereof
,
whether
Iezebel
were
in
deede
ignorant
,
or
that
shee
did
of
set
purpose
compare
Iehu
to
Zimri
,
either
to
daunt
him
with
the
conceite
,
or
disgrace
him
with
the
reproch
of
so
infamous
a
comparison
:
yet
is
this
necessarily
to
be
gathered
,
the
she
accounted
the
slaying
of
his
natural
annointed
Prince
,
a
thing
most
worthy
all
titles
of
opprobrious
ignominy
,
&
all
scourges
of
extreme
reuenge
.
surpasseth
in
sharpnes
any
two
edged
sword
:
entreth
euen
through
to
the
diuiding
in
sunder
of
the
soule
and
the
spirite
,
the
ioints
and
the
marrow
:
If
(
I
say
)
it
wound
not
your
thoughts
,
but
the
you
stande
as
still
&
voide
of
sense
,
as
if
it
turned
edge
:
then
néedes
must
my
wits
be
wrapped
vp
in
amazement
,
&
my
smiling
hope
be
changed
into
chéerles
feare
:
and
where
I
perceiue
the
putrefaction
to
excéed
all
possibility
of
remedy
by
applying
milde
&
temperate
medicines
,
there
must
I
vse
violent
means
,
sharp
corrosiues
,
yea
,
cauterie
&
incision
.
And
though
you
contemne
diuine
oracles
,
yet
wil
not
I
refuse
to
harken
to
the
holesom
counsel
of
the
Peet
where
he
saith
:
Cuncta
priùs
tentanda
,
sed
immedicabile
vulnus
Ense
recîdendum
,
ne
pars
sincera
trahatur
.
Which
is
,
Trie
first
all
waies
to
salue
the
sore
,
if
cureles
thou
it
see
:
Then
cut
it
off
,
lest
sounder
parts
therewith
infected
bee
.
But
because
ye
so
much
affect
the
title
of
Romanists
,
looke
a
litle
into
the
liues
of
ancient
Romans
,
and
you
shal
sée
how
much
ye
come
behind
them
in
vertuous
indeuours
,
and
how
far
ye
go
beyond
them
in
leude
conditions
.
At
how
light
a
price
did
Curtius
value
his
life
,
Mutius
Scaeuola
,
who
because
he
failed
in
dispatching
Porsenna
,
the
enemie
that
sought
the
wrack
of
his
natiue
citie
,
punished
that
ouersight
in
himselfe
,
by
consuming
his
hand
in
the
flame
?
To
what
end
should
I
record
the
inuincible
magnanimity
of
Horatius
Cocles
,
who
to
withstand
the
furious
incursion
of
his
countries
foes
,
kept
all
alone
the
passage
where
the
enemies
gaue
the
assault
,
&
by
his
single
resistance
gaue
singular
proofe
of
his
incredible
valor
?
what
should
I
stand
to
commend
the
honorable
dealing
of
Fabritius
Consul
of
Rome
,
to
whom
,
during
the
wars
he
held
with
Pirrhus
king
of
the
Epirotes
,
the
kings
phisicion
made
proffer
the
vpon
assurance
of
reward
he
would
poison
his
maister
:
but
Fabritius
princely
courage
disdaining
to
conquere
his
enemie
by
intrapping
him
in
snares
of
villany
,
presently
disclosed
the
matter
to
Pirrhus
?
God
grant
that
all
forren
Princes
may
carry
such
minds
as
Fabritius
did
:
and
th'
almightie
defend
my
soueraign
from
all
such
attendants
as
Pirrhus
phisician
was
:
that
no
English
brest
harbor
any
Spanish
hart
,
nor
subiects
hand
acquaint
it selfe
with
tempering
Italian
phisicke
.
To
be
short
,
what
shall
I
need
to
extol
Att.
Regulus
for
his
vnspotted
fidelitie
,
who
hauing
entred
into
solemne
oath
,
either
to
send
back
the
captiues
from
Rome
to
Carthage
,
or
els
to
render
himself
prisoner
into
their
hands
:
when
be
saw
the
deliuery
of
the
captiues
would
preiudice
the
honor
of
his
country
,
he
was
content
rather
to
returne
to
his
enemies
,
&
to
indure
most
exquisit
torments
,
then
either
to
make
breach
of
his
promise
,
or
to
infer
detriment
to
the
common
wealth
:
thinking
it
better
to
end
his
life
in
torture
as
a
faithfull
captiue
,
then
to
prolong
it
in
pleasure
like
a
periured
senator
.
I
am
the
more
willing
to
conceale
&
passe
ouer
the
application
of
these
examples
,
because
it
doth
redouble
my
sorrows
to
think
,
the
heathens
should
ouercome
Christians
:
or
Romanes
Englishmen
in
pietie
&
deuotion
to
their
country
.
But
(
O
vnspeakable
grief
)
I
can
neither
find
in
you
Curtius
faith
,
nor
Scaeuolas
zeal
,
nor
Horatius
courage
,
nor
Regulus
constancy
.
You
attempt
my
destruction
,
contrary
to
Curtius
;
you
imagine
your
soueraigns
death
,
contrary
to
Scaeuola
:
you
desire
to
bring
in
strange
forces
,
contrary
to
Horatius
:
you
deny
loialtie
to
your
frends
,
wheras
Regulus
performed
faithfulnes
to
his
enemies
.
Regulus
kept
promise
with
his
foes
,
because
he
wold
not
indamage
his
country
:
you
break
promise
with
your
frends
,
&
enter
league
with
your
foes
,
because
ye
wold
ruinate
your
country
.
Unworthy
therfore
are
ye
to
be
numbred
among
such
men
:
I
could
neuer
yet
vnderstand
that
any
traitor
closed
vp
his
last
daies
with
honor
,
or
the
his
gray
haires
went
downe
to
the
graue
in
peace
:
Iames
Tarrell
(
who
was
by
him
aduanced
for
the
murther
of
the
yoong
king
,
his
nephew
)
was
in
the
raigne
of
king
Henry
the
seuenth
beheaded
at
the
Tower
hill
for
treason
.
Miles
Forrest
péece-meale
rotted
away
.
Iohn
Dightons
death
,
though
it
be
not
certainly
specified
,
yet
we
may
without
any
breach
of
charitie
suppose
,
the
it
was
not
greatly
discrepant
from
the
former
course
of
his
life
.
And
no
maruel
if
the
Lord
of
hostes
be
so
ielous
ouer
his
Vicegerent
,
&
poure
out
such
rigorous
punishments
vpon
archtraitors
conspiring
against
his
annointed
,
séeing
he
suffreth
not
petie
trecheries
,
though
in
degrée
far
inferior
,
to
escape
vnreuenged
.
As
may
appear
by
Henry
Banester
seruant
to
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
:
who
though
he
were
brought
vp
vnder
the
Duke
,
&
had
from
him
receiued
many
benefites
:
yet
at
such
time
as
the
Duke
being
encountred
with
great
extremities
,
and
on
euery
side
maruellously
distressed
,
committed
his
life
to
Banesters
secrecie
,
thinking
it
the
safest
refuge
and
sanctuary
that
he
could
repaire
vnto
:
Banester
in
expectation
of
the
reward
that
was
promised
by
proelamation
to
him
that
could
discouer
him
,
readely
condescended
to
befraie
his
Lord
.
But
shortly
after
it
came
to
passe
the
his
sonne
and
heire
fell
mad
&
died
in
a
Bores
stie
:
his
eldest
daughter
was
striken
with
leprosie
:
his
second
sonne
was
taken
lame
,
&
his
yoongest
son
drowned
in
a
pudle
:
&
lastly
Banester
himselfe
was
arraigned
for
murther
,
and
with
much
adoe
escaping
,
was
frustrated
of
that
golden
recompence
which
he
preferred
before
his
Lords
life
,
and
his
owne
reputation
.
I
speake
not
this
to
patronage
the
Dukes
action
,
the
equitie
of
whose
cause
I
refer
to
the
censure
of
the
wise
,
but
séeing
all
déeds
are
to
be
measured
by
the
intent
of
the
doer
,
and
the
sequele
of
the
fact
,
néeds
must
he
be
noted
for
a
faithles
caitife
that
began
his
action
in
wretched
auarice
,
and
ended
it
in
shamefull
miserie
.
If
I
should
draw
these
and
such
like
particulars
into
the
forme
of
an
induction
,
and
thereupon
grounding
a
generall
conclusion
should
say
,
that
neuer
traitor
to
his
prince
atchiued
happie
and
prosperous
end
,
I
thinke
it
would
be
hard
for
you
to
giue
an
instance
to
the
contrarie
:
vnles
haply
you
please
to
reply
,
by
nominating
any
of
the
stragling
extrauagants
,
If
I
should
recount
the
benefits
that
from
time
to
time
I
haue
ouer
prodigally
bestowed
vpon
you
,
I
doubt
I
should
sooner
weary
my selfe
with
the
rehersall
,
then
bréed
in
you
any
thankfull
acknowledgement
of
the
same
.
you
haue
stretched
your selues
vpon
beds
of
iuorie
,
ye
haue
eate
the
lambes
of
the
flock
,
&
calues
of
the
stall
;
ye
haue
sung
to
the
sound
of
the
viole
,
&
inuented
to
your selues
instruments
of
musicke
:
ye
haue
drunke
your
wine
in
bowles
,
and
annointed
your selues
with
the
costliest
ointments
:
but
who
among
you
hath
beene
sorie
for
the
affliction
of
Ioseph
?
who
hath
called
his
imprisonment
to
remembrance
?
who
among
you
hath
not
sought
to
throw
him
into
the
dungeon
againe
?
or
which
of
you
hath
nor
gone
about
to
trouble
Israel
?
and
as
ye
haue
increased
in
iollitle
,
so
haue
ye
multiplied
in
transgression
:
Ye
haue
couertly
girded
your
loines
with
the
weapons
of
war
in
the
time
of
peace
,
intending
if
opportunitie
had
serued
your
purpose
,
The
Poets
pleasantly
deuise
that
when
Iupiter
had
made
man
,
glorying
in
the
workemanship
thereof
,
he
brought
him
to
find-fault
Momus
,
and
demanded
what
he
could
espie
in
him
worthy
reprehension
:
Momus
commended
the
orderly
feature
and
séemely
disposition
of
the
lineaments
:
but
one
thing
(
saith
he
)
I
greatly
dislike
,
that
thou
hast
forgotten
to
frame
a
window
in
his
brest
,
whereby
it
might
be
known
whether
his
hart
and
his
tongue
went
together
or
not
.
If
the
consciences
of
traitorous
Papists
might
be
as
througly
ransackt
,
and
as
déeply
sounded
,
as
they
may
be
iustly
doubted
,
there
would
be
found
cakes
of
foule
cankered
malice
,
&
long
festred
choler
buried
vnder
painted
hoods
,
&
mealemouthed
protestations
.
Then
would
the
grutchings
&
murmurings
of
Esau
come
to
light
,
Now
drinke
thou
blood
thy
belly
full
,
which
thou
hast
hitherto
so
much
thirsted
after
.
Crassus
being
slain
in
the
expedition
against
the
Parthians
,
they
tooke
molten
gold
and
poured
it
into
his
mouth
,
saying
:
Now
glut
and
accloie
thy selfe
with
gold
,
And
when
the
Israelites
had
taken
Adoni-bezek
,
they
cut
off
the
thumbes
of
his
hands
,
and
the
great
toes
of
his
féet
:
wherupon
he
confessed
,
saying
:
Seuentie
kings
hauing
the
thumbes
of
their
hands
and
of
their
feet
cut
off
,
gathered
bread
vnder
my
table
:
as
I
haue
done
,
so
God
hath
rewarded
me
.
Your
desire
is
to
erect
a
fresh
the
pageant
of
papistrie
;
and
for
the
compassing
thereof
,
ye
are
willing
,
not
onely
to
contribute
your
bracelets
&
earerings
to
the
making
of
the
golden
calfe
,
Is
there
no
baulme
at
Gilead
?
And
those
maie
be
compared
to
the
Scarabie
,
which
beeing
bred
in
the
dunghill
prospereth
there
exceeding
well
:
but
if
shée
happen
to
settle
vnder
the
rose
trée
,
she
dieth
incontinently
.
The
other
that
neuer
sawe
papistrie
in
his
highest
ruffe
,
but
through
the
seducing
of
their
olde
maisters
,
haue
bene
brought
to
the
bent
of
their
bow
,
are
to
be
pitied
for
their
follie
:
of
whome
we
may
say
with
the
Orator
,
that
they
may
seeme
to
haue
sucked
error
out
of
theyr
Nurses
brestes
with
the
verie
milke
of
theyr
infancie
;
and
these
are
like
the
foolish
flie
that
dallieth
so
long
with
the
candle
,
till
shee
senge
her
winges
in
the
flame
:
these
playe
as
did
the
fond
Satyre
,
who
espying
the
fire
that
Prometheus
first
brought
downe
from
heauen
,
would
needes
kisse
it
because
it
glistered
in
hys
eyes
.
Both
these
sortes
iointly
considered
,
resemble
that
sottish
Grillus
;
who
,
when
he
with
the
rest
of
his
companions
had
by
the
polliticke
and
ingenious
stratageme
of
Vlisses
escaped
from
out
the
denne
of
that
deformed
Ciclop
Polyphemus
,
would
needes
haue
gone
back
,
with
the
hazard
of
his
life
to
haue
recouered
his
girdle
that
he
left
behind
him
.
And
beeing
afterwardes
in
the
same
voiage
by
the
inchantments
of
Circes
chaunged
into
the
forme
of
an
hog
refused
to
return
to
the
shape
of
a
man
.
The
pope
is
that
monster
and
astonishment
of
nature
,
who
hath
so
long
inchained
christian
soules
in
miserable
thraldome
and
more
then
Egiptian
seruitude
,
The
kings
and
inhabitants
of
the
earth
dronken
with
the
wine
of
her
fornication
.
in
the
hand
of
the
Lord
there
is
a
cup
and
the
wine
is
red
,
it
is
full
mixt
,
&
he
poureth
out
of
the
same
:
If
all
the
wicked
shall
drink
of
it
,
then
of
all
the
most
wicked
,
in
respect
of
whom
Ieroboam
may
be
reputed
for
righteous
,
he
,
euen
he
of
all
others
the
most
wicked
,
shal
haue
a
large
draught
for
his
share
,
he
shall
turne
off
a
full
carouse
.
If
ye
would
but
fasten
your
eyes
vpon
me
a
while
,
ye
might
in
my
forehead
easilie
reads
what
woulde
be
your
own
destinies
vnder
his
gouernment
.
For
though
time
hath
healed
the
wounds
with
which
he
despitefully
mangled
my
body
yet
the
skars
and
blemishes
remain
stil
behind
.
My
meaning
is
,
there
yet
liueth
many
a
one
,
whose
father
,
mother
,
brother
,
sister
,
kinsman
or
friend
,
this
sauage
Antichrist
hath
wrongfully
murthered
,
&
by
vntimelydeath
abridged
the
date
of
theyr
days
;
confiscating
their
goods
,
and
leauing
their
posterity
not
onely
fatherles
children
,
but
also
comfortles
orphans
.
When
I
look
back
to
the
calamity
of
those
times
,
I
féele
my
poore
hart
begin
to
resolue
into
streams
of
blood
,
&
mine
eyes
melt
into
flouds
of
teares
,
at
the
onely
remembrance
thereof
;
euen
as
the
carcase
of
a
murtherd
man
gusheth
forth
into
bléeding
at
the
presence
of
the
murtherer
.
Hercules
when
he
came
vp
from
hel
,
looking
back
at
the
wonderful
dangers
that
he
had
waded
through
,
shooke
for
ioy
.
And
how
can
I
but
reioyce
with
trembling
before
my
Lord
God
,
who
hath
taken
off
my
purple
garment
,
and
clothed
me
with
a
white
robe
;
who
hath
wiped
away
the
teares
from
mine
eies
,
and
crowned
me
with
ioy
and
gladnes
?
Therefore
blessed
be
my
Lord
the
hath
greeted
his
spouse
with
this
consolation
:
Behold
winter
is
past
,
Yea
,
for
euer
magnified
he
his
name
that
hath
respected
the
lowly
essate
of
hys
handmaid
.
How
might
I
now
expresse
the
moitie
of
grief
that
I
then
felt
when
my
bosome
was
bedewed
with
the
warim
blood
of
guiltles
martirs
?
when
reuerent
old
age
wanted
due
obsequies
?
But
(
as
Capnio
said
)
quum
duplicarentur
lateres
,
tum
venit
Moses
:
when
Pharao
caused
the
task
of
brick
to
be
doubled
,
then
came
Moses
.
And
when
burdens
begin
to
grow
ouergrieuous
,
then
ariseth
vp
deliuerance
.
When
the
Philistines
offred
sacrifice
to
their
God
Dagon
,
pride
goeth
before
destruction
and
a
high
mind
before
a
fall
:
could
it
be
that
God
shoulde
not
auenge
his
elect
which
cried
daie
and
night
vnto
him
,
yea
,
though
hee
suffered
them
long
?
When
Nessus
the
Centaure
intending
to
rauish
Dianeira
,
had
receiued
his
deathes
wound
for
his
hire
at
Hercules
hand
,
he
then
besought
her
of
pardon
,
and
making
semblance
of
great
sorrow
,
he
gaue
her
of
his
blood
,
enioyning
her
to
reserue
it
as
a
rare
monument
and
riche
treasure
,
the
vertue
whereof
hee
said
was
inualuable
:
for
therby
shee
might
at
her
pleasure
reclayme
the
wandering
affection
of
her
husband
,
if
hee
should
chance
at
any
time
through
distoialtie
to
estraunge
himselfe
from
her
companie
.
Of
which
thing
shee
afterward
making
triall
,
washed
his
shirt
in
the
bloud
,
which
so
soone
as
he
had
at
vnawares
put
on
,
he
was
therewith
poysoned
.
In
like
case
the
Pope
indeuouring
to
despoile
the
Church
of
England
of
her
dignities
by
incrochement
and
intrusion
;
and
to
curtoll
the
prerogatiue
of
the
royall
state
by
vsurpation
:
had
in
a
happie
houre
both
the
check
and
the
mate
giuen
him
;
wherupon
he
almost
in
vtter
despair
of
filling
vp
so
great
a
breach
,
hath
scattered
abroad
his
lying
spirites
to
inueigle
our
malcontent
Romanistes
,
to
reuolt
from
obeysance
,
warranting
them
by
force
of
his
absolution
,
as
by
Nessus
bloud
,
to
rectifie
all
imaginarie
and
supposed
iniuries
,
wherewith
they
shal
find
themselues
neuer
so
little
agreeued
:
and
thus
doe
they
(
you
I
meane
)
practise
to
execute
this
deuise
:
but
(
thanks
be
giuen
to
our
mercifull
God
)
to
your
own
subuersions
.
The
differences
are
:
what
Dianeira
did
was
vpon
ignorant
zeale
:
what
you
doe
is
vpon
pestilent
rancour
.
Hercules
imbraced
strange
loue
contrarie
to
dutie
:
but
her
Maiestie
tendereth
you
farre
aboue
your
desertes
.
But
least
I
might
be
thought
to
compose
clamorous
inuectiues
against
the
Sea
of
Rome
,
not
sufficiently
poized
with
their
iust
moments
of
reason
;
I
wil
alledge
some
specialties
for
the
confirming
of
my
assertion
.
As
touching
the
scope
of
their
doctrine
,
because
it
is
a
matter
not
wholie
incident
to
the
meannes
of
my
caparitie
,
and
somewhat
without
the
compasse
of
this
discourse
,
I
purposely
relinquish
it
.
Howbeit
if
I
should
descend
to
the
discussing
of
particularities
I
coulde
challenge
him
of
many
scismaticall
points
built
vpon
humane
tradition
,
and
repugnant
to
the
veritie
of
holie
Scriptures
.
For
howe
hath
hee
infersed
his
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
and
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
to
continue
the
wodden
worshipping
of
images
?
to
the
whiche
I
may
(
not
vnfitly
)
applie
the
poeticall
Ironie
,
which
is
vsed
against
the
Egiptians
that
adored
Onions
and
Garlike
,
as
the
Papists
do
trees
and
stocks
:
O
sanctae
gentes
quibus
innascuntur
in
hortis
Numina
.
O
holie
people
they
whose
Gods
Within
their
Gardens
grow
.
How
hath
he
multiplied
Mediatours
,
making
some
of
saluation
,
others
of
intercession
;
derogating
from
the
office
of
Christ
,
to
maintain
the
inuocation
of
Saints
?
whereas
the
Scripture
precisely
designeth
one
,
saying
:
There
is
one
God
,
How
hath
he
foisted
in
his
distinction
of
mortall
and
veniall
sinnes
,
to
prop
his
Purgatorie
that
is
now
so
ruinous
for
lack
of
reparation
?
We
are
taught
in
Gods
worde
,
that
all
sinnes
are
venial
in
Christ
,
except
the
sinne
against
the
holie
Ghost
:
(
which
is
therefore
called
of
Saint
Iohn
,
)
and
all
mortall
in
theyr
owne
nature
.
For
the
wages
of
sinne
is
death
.
And
,
all
sinnes
shal
be
forgiuen
vnto
the
children
of
men
,
and
blasphemies
wherewith
they
blaspheme
:
but
hee
that
blasphemeth
against
the
holie
Ghost
,
shal
neuer
haue
forgiuenes
,
but
is
culpable
of
eternall
damnation
.
These
may
serue
to
giue
you
a
taste
,
séeing
it
stands
not
with
my
purpose
to
frame
any
controuersial
treatise
:
but
ye
may
gesse
the
beast
by
his
paw
.
In
generall
this
is
to
be
obserued
in
their
doctrine
,
that
they
when
they
are
had
in
chase
,
they
haue
so
manie
muces
,
inturninges
:
winding
corners
,
and
starting
holes
,
that
but
for
the
tracke
of
their
footing
it
were
hard
to
ouertake
them
.
In
their
intricate
sophisines
&
inexplicable
quiddities
,
they
play
like
the
fish
called
the
Cuttle
,
which
when
the
fisherman
is
readie
to
lay
hand
vpon
her
,
casteth
forth
a
slimis
blacke
humour
like
vnto
inke
,
which
darkening
the
vpper
face
of
the
water
,
causeth
the
fisherman
to
fayle
of
hys
ayme
,
and
by
that
meanes
she
escapeth
:
and
I
may
say
of
them
as
Cesar
sayd
of
the
Scithians
whose
maner
it
was
to
lurke
in
vncouth
thickets
:
Difficilius
est
inuenire
,
quàm
superare
:
It
is
an
harder
matter
to
find
them
out
then
to
ouercome
them
.
Touching
his
gouernement
,
it
is
nothing
else
but
a
mightie
faction
of
men
,
and
armed
power
of
Princes
bending
their
forces
directly
agaynst
the
Gospell
of
peace
.
Howe
intollerable
is
his
ambition
that
arrogateth
to
himselfe
Vniuersalitie
,
trusting
to
draw
not
onelie
Iordan
like
the
Behemoth
,
but
the
foure
quarters
of
the
world
into
hys
mouth
?
Roma
tibi
quondam
suberant
Domini
dominorum
,
Seruorum
serui
nunc
tibi
sunt
Domini
:
Which
is
Time
was
(
O
Rome
)
when
Lords
of
Lords
,
to
thee
did
becke
and
bowe
:
Time
's
past
:
and
seruantes
seruantes
are
thy
Lordes
and
maisters
now
.
Hath
he
not
always
vnder
a
colour
of
pietie
and
religion
,
broched
most
impious
and
least
religious
practises
?
So
that
long
since
the
Germanes
perceiuing
hys
iugling
,
howe
he
fostered
contentions
,
cloked
murthers
wincked
at
heresies
,
and
dispensed
with
all
crimes
how
capitall
so
euer
,
if
he
might
thereby
either
dilate
his
segniories
,
or
furnishe
his
treasurie
,
reiected
his
pretensed
aucthoritie
:
and
marking
howe
outragiously
hee
set
vp
his
bristles
and
whetted
his
tuskes
against
such
as
crossed
his
deuises
,
anathematising
them
with
the
horrible
cursse
of
Shimei
,
and
ratling
out
his
excommunications
against
them
,
they
both
sharply
reprooued
and
openly
derided
his
Bulles
before
the
which
he
was
accustomed
to
prefix
the
name
of
the
almightie
,
most
blasphemously
making
it
to
leade
the
waye
to
his
diuelish
execrations
:
so
that
it
became
amongest
them
a
common
byworde
:
In
nomine
Dei
incipit
omne
malum
:
all
mischiefe
beginnes
in
Gods
name
.
And
to
gleane
a
fewe
eares
out
of
a
full
sheafe
,
I
will
set
downe
some
seuerall
examples
.
In
the
tyme
of
Gregorie
the
ninth
,
sprang
vp
the
diuision
of
the
Guelfes
and
the
Gibellines
:
the
Guelfes
bolstering
out
the
swelling
insolencie
of
the
Popedome
,
and
the
Gibellines
assisting
the
iust
title
of
the
imperiall
maiestie
.
Through
the
whiche
occasion
,
moste
tumultuous
vprores
and
deadly
warres
were
arreared
:
the
furie
wherof
being
scarse
calmed
&
allaied
within
one
hundred
yeares
after
,
hath
left
a
perpetuall
memorie
to
the
world
,
How
mischieuously
did
Gregorie
the
seuenth
conspire
with
the
states
of
Saxonie
,
against
Henrie
the
fourthe
Emperour
of
Germanie
,
when
commencing
quarrell
against
him
,
he
conuented
him
of
heresie
,
for
bestowing
ecclesiasticall
promotions
vpon
persons
both
insufficient
for
theyr
giftes
,
and
defamed
for
theyr
behauiours
?
and
sentencing
against
hym
,
hee
adiudged
him
to
doe
dayly
penaunce
at
the
Churche-dore
of
Peter
and
Paule
,
for
the
space
of
one
whole
yeare
.
Moreouer
he
inforced
hym
barefooted
and
barelegged
to
creepe
to
kisse
his
feete
.
And
during
this
turmoyle
,
hee
suborned
Rodolphe
Duke
of
Saxonie
to
inuade
the
Empire
:
wherof
the
Emperour
beeing
aduertised
,
thought
it
was
nowe
high
tyme
to
resiste
so
daungerous
a
practise
,
and
hasting
into
Germanie
hee
encountred
Rodolphe
,
S.
Peters
keyes
hang
(
as
he
saith
)
at
his
girdle
for
that
end
to
barre
the
gates
of
vnitie
,
and
open
the
doores
of
dissension
?
If
there
be
a
blessing
laide
vp
in
store
for
the
peacemakers
,
let
him
tell
me
what
shal
be
the
reward
of
such
as
kindle
coles
of
mutinie
and
sedition
?
Especially
séeing
he
is
in
double
fault
that
giueth
offence
by
his
example
.
Was
not
the
presumption
of
Alexander
the
third
vnmeasurable
,
and
the
pride
Lucifer-like
,
that
he
exercised
against
the
Emperour
Fredericke
,
surnamed
Barbarossa
,
vpon
whose
backe
when
he
had
set
the
states
of
Italie
and
Venice
,
and
also
captiuated
Otto
the
Emperours
sonne
,
working
vpon
this
aduantage
he
constrained
him
to
yéeld
to
such
vnreasonable
condicions
,
as
better
agréed
with
his
impudent
and
vaineglorious
nature
to
demaund
,
then
with
Frederickes

to
condescend
vnto
.
So
that
he
was
driuen
to
prostrate
himselfe
in
Venice
at
the
Popes
féete
;
and
yet
he
not
contented
with
this
,
more
then
humble
submission
,
contumeliously
trode
vpon
his
necke
,
abusing
that
text
of
scripture
:
Super
Aspidem
&
Basiliscum
,
&c.
Thou
shalt
walke
vpon
the
Adder
and
the
Basiliske
,
the
yong
Lion
and
the
Dragon
shalt
thou
tread
vnder
thy
feet
.
The
Emperor
séeing
himselfe
so
disdainefully
ouercrowed
by
a
dunghill
crauen
,
could
not
suppresse
his
heroicall
stomacke
,
but
answered
againe
;
Non
tibi
sed
Petro
:
I
doe
this
in
reuerence
of
Peter
,
and
not
for
feare
of
thée
.
Whereat
the
Pope
rauing
,
with
open
mouth
intercepted
his
wordes
exclaming
,
Et
mihi
&
Petro
:
thou
shalt
dos
this
reuerence
both
to
Peter
and
me
.
This
ruffling
champion
was
(
no
doubt
)
profoundly
instructed
in
the
schoole
of
Christ
;
he
brake
not
the
bruised
reede
,
nor
quenched
the
smoking
flaxe
:
he
reproued
his
Disciples
,
when
they
would
haue
had
fire
to
come
down
from
heauen
and
consume
the
Samaritans

saying
:
Ye
know
not
of
what
spirite
ye
are
.
He
willed
them
to
learne
of
him
:
For
I
am
(
saith
he
)
lowlie
and
meeke
:
and
so
shall
ye
find
rest
to
your
soules
.
What
should
I
rehearse
the
broiles
,
wherewith
Gregorie
the
ninth
pestered
Frederike
the
second
?
who
for
that
in
a
cause
which
admitted
no
dilatorie
circumstance
,
but
as
it
imported
matter
of
singuler
consequence
,
so
it
required
meanes
of
present
expedition
,
for
that
(
I
say
)
he
departed
without
taking
solemne
farewell
&
humble
leaue
of
the
Popes
holines
,
hauing
leuied
a
supply
of
souldiours
to
passe
into
Asia
for
reskuing
of
the
distressed
Christians
in
their
wars
against
the
Sarasens
,
he
was
retracted
by
the
Popes
countermaund
,
that
he
sent
to
the
Christian
armie
straightly
interdicting
them
to
follow
the
Emperous
conduct
:
neither
could
he
by
any
intercession
obtaine
release
,
vntil
he
had
throwne
a
honie
sop
into
Corberus
iawes
,
and
stopt
the
Popes
mouth
with
paiment
of
an
hundred
and
twentie
thousand
ounces
of
gold
.
These
things
being
so
plaine
that
they
can
not
be
ouershadowed
with
anie
pretence
,
me
thinkes
the
painters
answere
was
reasonably
framed
,
that
he
made
in
defence
of
his
workemanship
:
who
being
checkt
because
he
dad
drawne
the
counterfeit
of
S.
Peter
too
high
coloured
,
whome
they
affirmed
to
haue
béene
of
pale
countenance
,
foreworne
with
carefull
vigilancie
and
paineful
trauaile
,
which
he
alwaies
tooke
about
his
pastorall
affaires
&
Apostolicall
negotiations
:
I
haue
(
said
he
)
made
him
not
as
he
was
on
earth
,
but
as
he
is
now
in
heauen
:
from
whence
looking
down
into
the
liues
of
his
successors
,
he
blusheth
for
shame
to
sée
their
shamelesse
misdemeanure
.
And
as
the
Pope
hath
in
other
countries
plaide
his
vagaries
,
to
the
disturbance
of
publike
vnitie
and
racking
of
common
wealthes
by
pillage
&
extortion
:
so
hath
he
vexed
me
with
violent
turmoiles
&
chargeable
impositions
to
my
no
small
griefe
,
and
no
lesse
detriment
.
I
can
not
yet
forget
the
dealing
of
that
gréedie
cormorant
,
and
sweating
Bull
of
Basan
,
But
Gregorie
thus
defeated
of
his
purpose
and
crost
with
a
contrarie
cue
,
cleane
beside
his
expectation
,
began
to
make
batterie
with
his
gunshot
of
excommunication
,
directed
to
the
Bishop
of
Worcester
,
of
whose
inclination
he
was
best
perswaded
,
with
command
to
prosecute
it
in
most
vehement
sort
,
that
no
possible
furtherance
should
be
omitted
for
the
effectuating
thereof
against
a
certaine
day
prescribed
,
wherein
the
Audit
of
this
sacred
receipte
must
bee
giuen
vp
.
The
matter
was
so
diligentlie
trauersed
,
what
with
the
kinges
Embassadors
on
the
one
side
,
to
appease
the
Pope
;
what
with
the
insatiable
couetousnesse
of
the
Pope
on
the
otherside
to
impouerish
the
Realme
,
that
notwithstanding
all
importunitie
,
submission
and
reasonable
proffers
that
the
king
could
make
,
no
spéeche
of
reconcilement
would
be
harkened
vnto
,
vntill
he
had
graunted
the
Pope
a
tenth
of
all
goods
moueable
in
England
and
Scotland
:
Matthaeus
Parisiensis
his
own
words
)
Our
Lord
the
Pope
being
before
inwardlie
inflamed
aboue
all
thinges
to
suppresse
the
hautinesse
of
the
king
,
recomforted
with
these
promises
,
was
made
to
consent
.
The
which
how
pernicious
it
became
to
the
state
of
this
Realme
can
hardly
by
anie
estimate
be
comprehended
.
For
irregular
custome
hauing
once
set
in
his
foot
,
would
not
for
many
yeares
after
take
the
repulse
.
So
that
the
Church
of
Rome
hath
to
her
shame
approued
the
veritie
of
this
saying
;
Religio
peperit
Diuitias
;
sed
Filia
deuorauit
Matrem
:
Religion
brought
forth
Riches
;
but
the
Daughter
swalowed
vp
the
Mother
,
like
the
Vipers
brood
.
Such
gourmandisers
as
praie
vpon
Princes
,
whereas
they
ought
of
duetie
to
pray
for
them
,
will
be
found
to
haue
runne
farre
into
arrerages
,
when
it
shall
be
said
vnto
them
,
Giue
account
of
thy
stewardship
,
for
thou
maist
be
no
longer
Stewarde
.
Of
such
it
may
bee
saide
,
as
Alcibiades
said
to
Pericles
,
when
he
perceiued
him
very
carefull
to
make
vp
his
reckonings
to
the
Athenians
;
O
how
much
better
were
it
for
thee
,
if
thou
couldest
deuise
to
giue
no
accounts
at
all
.
What
should
I
speake
of
pardons
,
Peter-pence
,
with
a
number
such
polling
&
pedling
deuises
of
oppression
wherof
the
manifestation
of
the
Gospel
hath
clearly
disburdened
you
?
What
should
I
declare
how
licentiously
he
hath
presumed
to
controll
the
mightie
kings
of
England
,
infringing
their
liberties
,
abrogating
their
ordinances
,
repealing
their
statutes
,
and
ingrating
vpon
their
prerogatiues
?
Wherein
if
hee
were
at
any
time
gainsaid
or
ouerthwarted
,
he
then
cast
about
to
depose
them
.
As
,
Henry
the
seconde
was
suspended
from
his
Crowne
by
the
space
of
foure
daies
;
went
barefoote
to
Thomas
Beckets
Tombe
dying
the
rough
stones
with
his
blood
:
and
most
vnkingly
deiecting
himself
to
be
discipled
with
the
rod
,
of
the
Monkes
of
Canterburie
.
King
Iohn
was
miserably
vexed
by
Innocent
the
third
,
forced
at
last
to
resigne
his
Crowne
with
all
title
of
soueraintie
both
in
England
and
Ireland
into
Pandulphus
hand
,
who
detaining
it
fiue
daies
,
then
restored
it
.
This
infortunate
King
after
a
troublesome
and
litigious
raigne
was
in
the
ende
poisoned
by
a
traitorous
Moonke
;
as
also
Henry
the
seuenth
Emperour
of
Germany
was
by
a
Dominicane
Frier
,
who
ministring
the
sacrament
vnto
him
,
had
before
dipped
the
oste
in
poison
.
I
must
néedes
highly
commend
the
courage
of
king
Henry
the
first
,
There
is
an
ancient
custome
of
my
kingdome
ordained
by
my
Father
,
that
no
person
shal
sue
anie
appeale
from
vs
to
the
Pope
:
whosoeuer
will
attempt
to
violate
this
custome
,
doeth
offend
against
our
Maiestie
,
and
the
Crowne
of
Englande
:
hee
that
will
seeke
to
despoile
vs
of
our
Crowne
,
is
an
enemie
,
and
a
Traitor
to
our
person
.
And
againe
,
when
Anselme
would
haue
had
him
follow
the
Popes
Letters
:
what
haue
I
to
doe
with
the
Popes
Letters
,
I
will
not
breake
the
lawes
of
my
Realme
for
the
pleasure
of
anie
Pope
.
As
touching
his
market-making
and
whole
sale
of
spirituall
promotions
to
rawe
and
bankerout
chapmen
,
it
was
truely
said
that
the
state
of
Asses
was
much
better
then
of
Horses
;
because
the
Horses
were
faine
to
post
to
Rome
for
benefices
,
but
the
Asses
obtained
them
.
Of
his
ordinarie
absolution
for
mony
without
respect
of
crime
,
he
descanted
pretily
that
said
,
Friers
were
fed
fat
with
mens
sinnes
.
Of
the
scismes
in
his
Sea
,
he
spake
rightly
,
the
being
asked
why
in
their
suffrages
they
praied
not
for
Cardinals
&
Bishops
,
that
is
(
quoth
he
)
vnderstood
where
we
say
,
Oremus
pro
scismaticis
&
haereticis
;
let
vs
praie
for
scismatikes
&
heretikes
.
I
omit
his
beastly
gaine
raked
out
of
the
sinkhole
of
brothel-houses
.
I
loth
to
think
vpon
his
tolerating
of
the
most
stinking
sin
of
abhominable
Sodomitrie
:
in
commendation
whereof
Iohn
Casus
Archbishop
of
Beneuentane
,
the
Popes
Legat
to
the
Venetians
wrote
a
booke
.
O
detestable
impudencie
,
to
magnifie
that
in
words
,
yea
in
writing
,
the
onely
thought
wherof
woundeth
the
heart
with
horror
.
Indéed
Sinesius
wrote
a
pamphlet
in
praise
of
Baldnes
:
Fauorinus
commended
the
quartane
ague
:
Apuleus
the
Asse
:
Erasmus
not
vnwittily
blazed
the
praise
of
Follie
:
&
one
of
late
painted
out
the
praise
of
nothing
,
yet
to
some
purpose
:
but
what
age
euer
hatched
such
a
forlorne
monster
as
this
?
Yet
was
he
a
deuout
Catholike
,
a
Romish
Prelate
,
and
one
of
speciall
account
with
his
holinesse
:
therefore
I
mate
well
thinke
like
maister
like
man
:
But
roome
now
,
els
shall
we
bring
all
Rome
on
our
back
:
for
the
Pope
sits
in
S.
Peters
Chaire
forsooth
.
Why
,
so
did
the
Scribes
and
Pharisies
in
Moses
seate
:
yet
no
into
the
holier
men
for
that
.
So
that
I
maie
iustly
say
of
him
,
as
Themistocles
said
to
a
certain
odde
Seriphian
,
who
obiected
to
Themistocles
that
his
renowne
arose
more
through
the
glorie
of
his
countrie
,
then
by
the
merite
of
his
vertues
:
Not
so
:
said
Themistocles
:
for
if
I
were
a
Seriphian
I
woulde
not
liue
without
honour
:
and
though
thou
were
an
Athenian
thou
couldest
not
liue
without
shame
.
So
,
if
Saint
Peter
were
at
Rome
,
Roma
quid
est
?
amor
est
.
qualis
?
praeposterus
.
Vnde
hoc
?
Romamares
.
Noli
dicere
plura
,

.
And
yet
behold
,
your
restles
and
retchles
desire
longeth
and
laboureth
to
inthronize
this
bloodsucking
Canniball
,
this
brocher
of
quarrelles
,
this
patrone
of
heresies
,
this
robber
of
churches
,
this
controller
of
Princes
,
this
enemy
of
Christ
.
Don
Pietro
a
Spaniard
,
whom
he
ioyned
in
commission
with
the
Prince
.
This
fellow
sought
by
raising
false
reports
of
the
Prince
to
discredit
him
with
the
king
and
commons
:
and
by
indirect
practises
to
indaunger
his
life
.
Which
when
the
Prince
sawe
,
he
willingly
sequestred
himselfe
departing
to
his
castle
,
&
left
all
affaires
to
be
ordred
by
Don
Pietro
.
The
Spaniard
not
thus
contented
contriued
matter
of
accusation
against
the
Prince
,
charging
him
with
treason
:
whereto
he
refused
not
to
make
his
answere
.
Which
when
he
came
to
haue
done
,
the
Spaniard
had
suborned
a
villayne
pryuily
to
lurke
in
the
mountaines
to
haue
murthered
him
with
a
gunne
,
who
missing
his
body
strake
him
in
the
leg
.
The
Prince
séeing
himselfe
enuironed
with
manifest
perill
,
tooke
his
way
to
Venice
:
vpon
whose
departure
the
Spaniard
immediately
proclaimed
him
traitor
.
The
prince
framed
his
complaint
to
the
king
,
but
founde
no
remedy
.
Not
onely
was
the
offendor
released
from
sentence
of
law
:
but
al
inborne
subiects
of
the
realme
were
discharged
from
bearing
rule
or
office
whatsoeuer
.
All
Marchants
and
artificers
were
prohibited
to
kéepe
any
kinde
of
armour
or
weapon
in
their
houses
:
yea
,
so
much
as
sworde
or
dagger
.
Only
to
gentlemen
it
was
permitted
to
haue
their
swords
&
targets
&
none
other
.
If
all
paiments
which
al
the
kings
the
raigned
before
in
Naples
were
laid
togither
,
they
are
not
comparable
to
th'
extraordinary
taxes
the
king
of
Spaine
hath
exacted
of
them
.
quietus
est
:
yet
if
the
quittance
were
lost
by
reason
of
time
,
they
were
condemned
to
repay
the
whole
.
I
might
make
special
relation
of
all
accises
,
customes
,
&
exactions
,
that
he
imposeth
vpon
al
manuary
trades
&
mechanicall
faculties
:
vpon
al
commodities
the
may
any
way
grow
to
the
inhabitants
:
but
they
woulde
require
a
large
treatise
.
But
think
to
what
an
huge
masse
of
mony
it
amounteth
when
the
Farmar
of
the
butchery
and
pultry
of
the
city
of
Naples
payeth
daily
thrée
hundred
ducats
:
when
vittailers
pay
fiue
ducats
for
yerely
obedience
:
shoomakers
one
french
crowne
:
filkemakers
fiue
:
when
for
euery
chimney
he
hath
sixe
shillings
thréepence
:
of
euery
strumpet
or
curtizan
thrée
shillings
peny
half
peny
,
and
of
all
others
in
proportion
.
Euery
head
of
great
cattel
payeth
thrée
Caualluchi
(
of
the
which
,
fourtéene
or
fiftéene
make
a
peny
)
euery
head
of
small
payeth
two
:
and
(
as
it
is
credibly
recorded
)
that
taxe
in
one
yeare
,
onely
in
two
shieres
Apulia
&
Calabria
came
to
foure
hundred
thousand
french
crownes
sterling
:
and
there
followed
the
next
yeare
after
,
a
taxe
of
six
hundred
thousand
frenche
crownes
.
We
vse
to
say
,
where
nothing
is
to
be
had
the
king
looseth
his
right
.
But
the
Spaniard
though
he
make
his
gaine
his
right
,
and
his
will
his
law
:
though
he
haue
brought
the
people
to
a
low
ebbe
&
a
miserable
state
,
yet
will
he
haue
what
taxes
soeuer
he
list
to
leuie
,
though
he
rake
it
out
of
their
bowells
,
and
pull
their
skins
ouer
their
eares
for
it
.
These
are
his
practises
in
Naples
:
Spaine
,
Aragon
,
&
Portugall
:
which
nowe
remaine
as
a
wildernes
abandoned
&
desolate
,
being
before
as
populous
as
was
possible
.
Within
the
space
of
forty
yeres
,
they
as
in
a
common
butchery
slaughtered
of
innocent
lambs
,
aboue
twelue
millions
,
men
,
women
,
&
children
.
At
their
first
arriuall
they
were
intertained
with
performance
of
al
seruiceable
curtesies
,
the
Indians
most
humbly
submitting
themselues
vnto
them
,
&
after
a
sort
adoring
them
as
diuine
creatures
descended
from
heauen
:
but
after
they
were
too
well
acquainted
with
their
sauage
cruelties
,
they
fled
from
them
as
from
hatefull
furies
broke
loose
out
of
hell
.
Another
monster
after
he
had
wrought
a
most
bloody
massacre
vpon
diuers
Lords
and
other
Indians
,
out
of
whose
handes
one
noble
man
with
his
retinew
to
the
number
of
thirty
or
forty
had
escaped
,
&
inclosed
themselues
within
a
temple
,
the
Spaniarde
following
after
them
,
neither
waighed
the
reuerence
of
the
place
,
nor
the
innocenci●
of
the
persons
,
but
deuoide
of
all
humanity
&
compassion
,
set
fire
on
the
temple
&
so
burned
them
.
Himselfe
in
the
meane
while
vsed
like
gesture
&
behauior
,
as
did
Nero
when
he
had
caused
Rome
to
be
fired
,
&
he
beholding
it
sate
singing
&
playing
on
his
harp
.
This
tyrant
passed
on
to
Mexico
trampling
in
humane
bloode
.
Motenzuma
king
of
Mexico
being
aduertised
of
his
comming
sent
a
thousand
presents
to
welcome
him
,
It
is
impossible
for
me
to
vtter
in
wordes
the
merciles
dealings
of
the
Spaniardes
in
the
Indies
,
—
Nam
me
vestigia
terrent
:
Omnia
te
aduersum
spectantia
,
nulla
retrorsum
.
The
tracks
and
footesteps
that
I
spie
make
me
suspect
some
traine
:
Sith
all
looke
forward
to
thy
denne
,
but
none
looke
back
againe
.
Remember
the
reward
the
Sabines
bestowed
vpon
the
damosell
Tarpeia
,
Proditionem
amo
sed
odi
proditorem
.
Me
thinkes
your
dealings
are
liuely
described
in
the
picture
of
Furie
,
who
is
painted
with
a
sword
in
his
hand
,
and
for
the
impatient
desire
of
reuenge
wherwith
he
is
inflamed
,
desperatly
rusheth
vpon
a
iauelin
,
slayeng
himselfe
while
he
attempteth
to
annoie
his
aduersarie
:
ye
are
farre
more
besotted
than
that
foolish
felow
that
was
content
to
forgo
one
of
his
eies
,
conditionallie
his
companion
might
loose
both
.
But
if
this
that
I
haue
said
do
not
alter
your
minds
,
I
doubt
whatsoeuer
may
be
said
will
be
insufficient
.
And
therefore
in
respect
of
your
obstinacie
I
am
to
wish
that
ye
might
be
dealt
withall
as
the
eagle
dealeth
with
hir
yoong
ones
,
who
tumbleth
such
out
of
hir
nest
as
can
not
stedfastly
looke
against
the
sunne
beames
:
or
that
there
were
some
deuise
for
the
riddance
of
traitorous
papists
out
of
the
realme
,
like
to
that
which
king
Edgar
inuented
for
the
auoidance
of
wolues
when
he
bound
the
Welshmen
to
paie
their
tribute
with
wolues
skinnes
.
If
haply
your
maladie
be
past
recouerie
,
I
will
notwithstanding
comfort
my selfe
by
repeating
the
words
which
Mardocheus
vsed
,
in
a
case
that
threatned
as
great
extremitie
.
When
Haman
had
obtained
of
king
Assuerus
that
all
the
Iewes
within
his
Prouinces
should
be
destroied
,
I
haue
not
beene
called
to
the
king
these
thirtie
daies
,
which
when
Mardocheus
vnderstood
,
he
returned
her
this
answere
:
Thinke
not
with
thy selfe
that
thou
shalt
escape
in
the
kinges
house
more
then
all
the
Iewes
.
For
if
thou
holdest
thy
peace
at
this
time
,
comfort
&
deliuerance
shall
appeare
to
the
Iewes
out
of
another
place
,
but
thou
&
thy
fathers
house
shall
perish
.
And
who
knoweth
whether
thou
art
come
to
the
kingdom
for
such
a
time
?
So
though
you
being
animated
through
the
Popes
absolution
,
and
in
hope
of
I
know
not
what
lordlie
preferments
haue
agréed
among
your selues
to
make
away
with
such
as
shall
not
be
found
to
haue
an
Auemaria
sticking
betwixt
their
téeth
,
or
an
Agnus
Dei
couched
in
their
bosome
:
yet
because
your
rage
is
raised
against
the
Lord
,
&
your
tumult
ascended
into
his
ears
,
I
trust
he
wil
doe
to
you
&
to
your
confederats
as
he
did
to
proud
Senacherih
,
put
an
hooke
into
your
nostrils
and
a
bridle
into
your
iawes
.
For
as
it
was
prophecied
of
Troie
,
that
it
should
not
be
subdued
so
long
as
the
Palladium
,
which
fell
down
from
heauen
vpon
the
wals
therof
,
remained
within
it
:
so
I
am
assured
that
England
shall
haue
rest
from
all
her
enimies
so
long
as
Gods
holy
word
shal
be
sincerely
preached
&
diligently
followed
.
As
for
you
let
this
suffise
,
that
there
was
a
cursse
denounced
against
him
,
that
shoulde
build
vp
Iericho
againe
:
that
Achan
,
with
his
familie
,
his
cattell
,
his
implementes
,
and
all
that
hee
had
,
was
stoned
and
burnt
in
the
vallie
of
Achor
because
he
had
taken
a
Babilonish
garment
,
certaine
shikels
of
siluer
,
and
a
wedge
of
gold
,
being
excommunicate
things
,
and
hid
them
in
his
tent
:
&
dare
ye
then
shrine
such
abhominations
in
your
harts
?
Surely
I
greatly
doubt
,
the
as
the
Lord
plagued
al
Israel
till
they
had
punished
Achan
,
so
hee
will
not
leaue
to
scourge
vs
till
we
haue
rooted
out
all
of
Achans
brood
.
The
example
of
Tarquin
in
cutiing
off
the
toppes
of
the
poppies
was
moste
happilie
imitated
to
the
glorie
of
God
and
benefite
of
the
Realme
:
for
by
that
meanes
I
trust
the
stalkes
will
soone
wither
away
.
Tuus
,
O
Regina
,
quid

Explorare

.
To
thinke
the
thing
thou
faine
wouldst
haue
,
pertaines
(
O
Queene
)
to
thee
:
But
to
performe
what
ere
thou
craue
,
that
dutie
longs
to
me
.
Your
villanies
before
theyr
late
discouerie
,
seemed
in
your
owne
conceits
wellnigh
to
haue
attained
the
highest
step
of
theyr
perfection
:
so
that
if
Sinon
could
haue
brought
the
horse
within
the
gates
of
Troy
,
he
should
then
haue
giuen
the
watchword
to
the
Grecian
Fleete
houering
aloofe
at
Tenedos
.
Then
would
it
haue
bene
to
late
to
haue
wished
for
Hector
,
when
Politus
should
haue
bene
slaine
at
the
altar
and
sanctuarie
;
when
Cassandra
should
haue
bene
rauished
in
the
temple
;
and
Priamus
murthered
in
his
own
Pallace
.
O
vnspeakeable
grief
!
all
these
valefull
calamities
to
haue
sprung
from
one
Helena
?
How
much
better
had
it
bene
that
that
Helena
had
neuer
bene
borne
?
or
being
borne
,
a
thousand
tymes
better
,
she
should
haue
bene
throwne
into
the
middest
of
the
sea
with
a
milstone
about
her
necke
,
then
to
haue
bin
the
subiect
for
so
many
tragedies
.
When
Iabin
king
of
Canaan
sought
to
oppresse
Israel
by
the
handes
of
Sisera
his
captaine
;
So
let
all
thine
enemies
perish
O
Lord
:
The
sorrow
of
the
other
was
;
The
glorie
is
departed
from
Israel
for
the
Ark
of
the
Lord
is
taken
.
;
But
because
a
liue
dogge
is
more
to
be
doubted
then
a
dead
Lion
,
I
wish
that
all
theyr
lurking
holes
may
be
narrowly
searched
,
and
they
ferretted
out
of
theyr
Conniburrowes
,
mercy
and
iudgement
.
Her
clemencie
hath
bene
moste
notoriously
abused
;
the
musick
had
almost
bene
mard
,
and
all
like
to
be
brought
into
an
vnpleasant
discord
,
while
she
harped
so
long
vpon
one
string
.
The
seruauntes
of
Benhadad
king
of
Syria
,
Rabsakeh
:
What
say
ye
vnto
me
,
we
trust
in
the
Lord
our
God
?
And
as
Artabanus
king
of
the
Persians
answered
the
letters
of
Alexander
emperor
of
Rome
,
saying
:
In
stead
of
paper
J
assigne
him
the
field
,
a
lance
for
the
pen
,
bloud
for
inke
,
&
wounds
for
words
:
So
these
companions
for
disputations
bring
dispensations
:
for
reasons
treasons
,
arguing
ab
vtili
,
and
not
ab
honesto
:
concluding
neither
honestum
nor
vtile
:
arming
their
religion
with
atheisme
:
and
supporting
theyr
faith
by
faithlesse
trecheries
.
Yet
when
they
are
cut
short
by
iustice
,
O
Louing
God
,
and
most
mercifull
Father
,
