Imprinted
at
London
by
GEORGE
BISHOP
,
and
RALPH
NEWBERIE
.
Anno
1590.
TO
THE
MOST
REVErend
,
IOHN
Archbishop
of
CANTERBVRIE
,
Primate
and
Metropliotane
of
all
England
,
and
of
her
Maiesties
most
honourable
priuie
Counsell
.
I
Am
bold
(
most
reuerend
)
to
dedicate
the
fruits
of
this
my
trauaile
,
such
as
they
be
,
vnto
your
Grace
,
who
can
and
will
defend
my
rash
attempt
in
so
great
a
cause
,
and
yet
not
so
great
an
enterprise
of
me
to
accuse
errours
,
as
is
necessary
to
your
Grace
to
defend
al
writers
in
the
prouing
therof
.
I
haue
presumed
to
write
of
the
Consent
of
time
,
a
charge
wherein
I
confesse
my selfe
farre
inferiour
to
those
that
haue
herein
much
erred
.
Howbeit
,
I
am
the
bolder
encouraged
by
the
assurance
of
my
warrant
which
I
take
from
the
Sacred
Histories
the
Centre
and
grounde
of
all
beginnings
,
and
the
onely
proofe
of
all
antiquities
,
without
which
(
sayeth
Eusebius
)
no
Historie
can
bee
true
:
For
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
The
errours
are
infinite
in
the
computation
of
Rome
,
of
the
time
of
Cyrus
,
of
the
destruction
of
Troy
,
and
specially
in
the
accompts
of
the
Olympiads
,
which
made
all
Greeke
and
Latine
writers
to
go
farre
amisse
,
and
to
faile
in
consent
of
time
very
much
,
sometime
twentie
or
thirtie
Olympiads
,
sometime
more
,
sometime
lesse
:
the
deceiptfulnes
thereof
,
not
onely
holy
Histories
haue
confounded
,
but
whole
successions
of
liues
haue
disproued
:
for
the
Greekes
(
saith
Iosephus
)
Non
tam
studio
&
notitiaveritatis
quàm
suis
opinionibus
,
multa
prodidere
falsa
:
And
therefore
Thucydides
vsed
rather
to
accompt
the
time
by
the
Peloponesian
warre
,
per
aestates
&
hyemes
,
then
by
the
Olympiads
.
Seeing
then
(
right
reuerend
)
that
prophane
writers
are
thus
wrapped
in
errors
by
missing
the
true
warrant
of
time
,
I
tooke
this
my
best
course
to
prooue
consent
of
histories
by
succession
of
Patriarkes
,
by
continuance
of
Iudges
,
and
by
the
gouernment
of
kings
,
euen
from
the
creation
of
man
vnto
the
deluge
:
from
the
deluge
to
the
promise
made
to
Abraham
:
from
the
promise
,
to
the
Law
giuen
to
Moses
:
from
the
Law
giuen
,
to
the
building
of
the
Temple
:
from
the
Temple
to
the
captiuitie
:
and
from
the
captiuitie
to
the
MESSIAS
,
truely
prooued
by
Moses
,
and
by
the
Chronicles
of
the
kings
,
and
last
by
Daniel
,
who
made
a
perfect
abstract
for
all
Chronographers
:
Wherein
he
doeth
instruct
all
writers
,
how
to
finde
the
order
and
time
of
histories
,
for
the
three
last
Monarchies
,
whose
Methode
I
followe
,
as
much
as
my
simple
capacitie
suffered
me
:
alleaging
such
authorities
as
wrote
best
of
euery
Countrey
,
endeuouring
to
auoyde
the
name
of
the
Olympiads
as
the
enemie
of
trueth
and
time
.
Thus
I
yeelde
your
Grace
mine
accompt
of
my
proceeding
for
Consent
of
time
,
most
humbly
beseeching
your
L.
to
accept
herein
my
good
will
,
as
one
,
that
is
to
my
small
abilitie
desirous
to

Your

most

TO
THE
READER
.
I
Thinke
my
labour
well
bestowed
,
my
rewarde
sufficient
,
if
my
trauaile
and
good
will
be
herein
of
the
reader
accepted
:
I
accuse
my selfe
of
some
rashnesse
to
wade
into
those
strong
streames
that
haue
caried
the
best
learned
to
a
labirinth
of
errors
,
who
in
seeking
consent
of
time
by
vncerteine
computations
of
the
Gentiles
,
haue
missed
the
square
and
perfect
frame
of
the
Prophets
,
the
streight
and
perfect
line
from
Adam
vnto
Christ
,
without
the
which
all
prophane
writers
most
grosly
erre
:
for
can
any
true
accompt
of
time
be
made
by
the
Romanes
computation
,
either
from
the
building
of
their
Citie
which
was
from
yeere
to
yeere
,
or
by
the
censure
of
Lustrum
,
which
the
Grecians
call
Penteterides
,
which
was
from
fiue
yeere
to
fiue
Grecia
mendax
:
for
the
Olympiads
is
the
generall
cause
of
all
errors
,
euen
in
the
best
learned
:
for
Xenophon
,
who
florished
in
the
chiefe
time
of
the
Olympiads
,
yet
fallax
in
his
accusatur
.
The
like
grosse
error
is
in
the
computation
of
the
Persians
of
the
time
of
Cyrus
.
To
speake
of
the
Egyptians
accompt
from
the
one
flowing
of
Nilus
vnto
another
,
from
one
Dynastia
vnto
another
:
during
which
time
they
say
,
340.
kings
reigned
from
the
first
Pharao
called
Amasis
,
vnto
the
last
Amasis
named
also
Pharao
,
farre
from
any
true
consent
of
time
,
it
were
superfluous
:
by
this
meanes
Hellanicus
accused
Acusilaus
,
Acusilaus
Ephorus
,
Ephorus
Timaeus
,
Timaeus
Herodot
,
and
Herodot
accused
Hesiodus
.
In
briefe
one
so
accused
another
,
that
all
erred
in
consent
of
time
,
and
that
by
reason
of
their
false
computation
,
without
looking
to
the
succession
of
the
Patriarches
,
continuances
of
Iudges
,
reignes
of
kings
,
and
without
respect
of
the
Iubilees
which
the
Hebrues
so
obserued
,
that
they
coulde
not
erre
:
which
if
Plinie
,
Halicarnassaeus
,
Polybius
,
Diodorus
,
and
the
rest
had
obserued
,
they
had
not
so
disagreed
,
in
a
hundred
,
two
hundred
,
three
hundred
,
foure
hundred
yeeres
,
more
or
lesse
from
the
sacred
histories
.
Had
they
looked
to
the
histories
of
the
Hebrewes
,
they
had
found
howe
to
auoide
many
inconueniences
:
for
prophane
writers
of
the
Assyrian
,
Chaldean
,
Egyptian
,
and
Persian
histories
can
not
but
erre
,
for
that
they
wrote
long
after
the
time
of
these
kingdomes
.
I
haue
therefore
for
the
more
assurance
of
sound
warrant
answered
the
time
with
the
historie
of
the
Church
,
and
haue
withall
followed
the
best
authorities
both
in
sacred
and
in
prophane
histories
,
as
farre
as
my
simple
iudgement
can
reache
.

OF
THE
CREATION
OF
the

,

IN

I

that
is
,
Righteousnesse
should
come
from
the
East
,
meaning
the
Messias
to
come
.
In
the
East
the
starre
appeared
to
the
wisemen
,
in
this
place
the
pleasant
riuers
which
commonly
are
called
the
foure
fluds
of
Paradice
,
doe
spring
in
this
garden
.
Hence
doeth
Euphrates
take
her
course
and
runneth
through
Babylon
and
Mesopotamia
:
hence
doth
Ganges
spring
to
India
:
and
compasseth
all
Aethiopia
,
from
this
garden
doth
Nilus
ouerflow
all
Aegypt
,
and
from
this
place
doeth

so
called

Moses
nameth
them
in

Hebrue
tongue

which
I
laied
downe

This
garden
did
much
excel
the

,
or
the
Isles
Fortunate
.
This
pleasant
place
and
the
fame
of
Paradise
,
and
the
report
of
the
pleasure
of
that
place
,
was
heard
of
amongst
the
Heathens
:
for
it
is
written
of
Iohn
Freigius
,
that
the
figure
of

was
put
vp
in

to
signifie
the
state
of

The
possession
of
Adam
was
much
,
to
be
an
Emperour
of
the
whole
world
,
a
commander
of
all
the
whole
earth
,
but
in
the
midst
of
this
great
blisse
,
the
contempt
of
God
and
vnthankfulnesse
to
God
ouerthrew
Adam
:
for
Satan
taking
vpon
him
the
forme
of
a
serpent
,
a
murtherer
from
his
originall
,
This
contempt
of
God
through
vnthankfulnesse
,
lost
all
the
benefites
of
God
which
he
gaue
to
man
in
his
creation
.
The
commandement

,
that
which
should
bee

broken
by

the
blessings
of

created

And
againe

Eue

had
another
sonne
and
called
him
Abel
,
for
yet
the
blessings
of
God
,
the
state
of
mariage
,
and
mans
nature
were
not
vtterly
abolished
through
sinne
,
but
the
qualitie
and
the
conditions
thereof
was
chaunged
.
Caine
was
a
tiller
of
the
ground
,
and
Abel
was
a
shepeheard
:
they
offred
both

at

time
the
curse
of

was
pronounced
against
Caine
,

he
went
from

from

with
tortures

he
should
haue
lesse
occasion
to

Caine
had
some
visible
marke
to
be
knowen
of
all

:
for
God
said
he
should
not
be

,
not
that
he
loued

for
that
God
abhorreth
murther

and
therefore
a

was

for
no

Adam
before

had
that
full
and
perfect
knowledge
of
God
in

workes

that
he

be

hidden

full
of
open

one

against

,
yet
not
accomplished
as
in
the
fore
ages
.
But
to
returne
to
Caine
and
his
posterities
,
how
they
grew
from
the
beginning
in
idolatrie
,
in
superstition
,
&
in
outward
pompe
of
vaine
ceremonies
,
framing
to
themselues
a
new
kind
of
religion
,
not
in
sinceritie
and
trueth
,
but
in
externall
forme
and
fashion
,
being
ignorant
of
God
and
of
his
word
,
Christ
the
Messias
that
was
to
come
.
This
idolatrie
began
in
the
house
of
Caine
,
from
Caine
himselfe
vnto
the
time
of
Belus
150.
yeere
after
the
flood
.
This
Belus
being
dead
,
his
sonne
Ninus
erected
vp
his
fathers
image
or
statue
with
such
honour
and
with
such
priuiledge
,
and
with
such
solemne
pompe
,
as
he
that
was
guiltie
of
any
great
crime
,
might
flee
Adstatuā
Beli
,
to
the
image
of
Belus
,
as
to
a
sure
sanctuarie
of
Lucius
Cornelius
&
Quintus
Pompeius
Consuls
at
Rome
,
so
the
first
idolatrie
of
Cain
and
his
posteritie
,
were
wel
and
iustly
rewarded
by
the
flud
.
The
second
age
when
idolatrie
began
in
Belus
,
ended
in
Sardanapalus
12.
hundred
and
odde
yeeres
,
being
the
36.
king
and
last
king
of
Assyria
,
as
Eusebius
affirmeth
.
All
this
while
God
had
his
Church
for
his
elect
,
the
Lord
had
appointed
another
seede
vnto
Adam
for
Abel
,
which
was
Seth
,
in
whose
time
men
began
to
call
vpon
the
name
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
Lord
did
moone
the
hearts
of
the
godly
to
restore
religion
.
The
posteritie
of
Seth
which
was
by
Caine
and
his
familie
,
suppressed
and
continued
seuen
generations
,
vntill
such
time
that
Naema
the
daughter
of
Lamech
Tubal
Caine
,
taught
men
the
vse
of
fine
flaxe
to
be
soft
clothed
,
and
to
be
trimme
attired
with
cloth
and
linnen
,
where
before
men
were
clothed
with
leather
and
skinnes
.
Nowe
the
posteritie
of
Caine
became
right
worldlings
in
following
their
fancies
and
pleasures
from
vice
to
vice
,
Cyclope
Poliphemus
,
to
whom
Moses
Then
Henoch
a
godly
sincere
man
,
led
an
vpright
life
before
God
,
the
seuenth
from
Adam
,
prophesied
of
such
wicked
men
,
saying
:
Behold
the
Lord
commeth
with
thousands
of
his
Saints
to
giue
iudgement
against
all
,
and
to
rebuke
all
Philo
Iudaeus
,
Herodot
,
and
Melancton
,
from
them
affirme
.
It
is
written
againe
,
that
Adam
and
Seth
foreseeing
the
deluge
of
the
world
,
caused
two
pillars
to
be
set
vp
,
the
one
of
brickes
,
the
other
of
brasse
,
one
to
resist
the
violence
of
the
water
,
the
other
to
endure
the
rage
of
the
fire
:
but
I
see
no
reason
that
Adam
should
prophecie
the
same
to
be
from
God
,
and
yet
he
being
man
,
sought
meanes
by
naturall
reason
,
and
waies
by
arte
,
to
preuent
the
euerlasting
decree
of
the
Almighty
.
Iosephus
might
wel
erre
in
that
.
I
thinke
that
many
things
are
written
of
the
Iewes
,
which
doe
not
agree
with
the
purpose
of
Gods
prouidence
,
nor
his
counsell
:
for
the
Iewes
recorded
in
their
bookes
of
histories
,
called
Drash
,
any
thing
that
might
be
coniectured
true
,
and
which
they
themselues
supposed
in
opinion
to
be
true
,
as
the
maners
of
their
Talmudists
were
.
Iosephus
a
great
writer
of
the
Iewes
antiquities
,
the
best
Historiographer
of
Chaldean
histories
,
who
wrote
more
,
and
is
more
to
be
commended
then
any
other
,
and
because
he
thinketh
much
amisse
for
any
man
to
seeke
recordes
of
antiquities
amongest
the
Graecians
,
men
of
late
knowledge
,
hauing
their
beginning
and
first
originall
from
Egypt
,
and
Chaldea
,
specially
Assyria
and
Chaldea
,
the
first
seate
of
man
after

:
for
the
Greekes
began
to
flourish
in
the
declining
age
of
the
world
,
when
that
Assyria
,
Chaldea
,
Egypt
,
and
other
places
of
the
East
,
were
wasted
&
consumed
with
sword
and
fire
:
for
so
it
seemeth
by
the
Philosopher
Calisthenes
report
,
then
being
with
Alexander
the
Great
at
the
siege
of
Babylon
,
writing
vnto
his
cosin
Aristotle
,
who
had
bene
his
preferrer
vnto
Alexander
,
to
that
purpose
he
might
search
out
the
Libraries
of
Babylon
,
and
to
certifie
Aristotle
of
those
antiquities
,
specially
of
Astrologie
,
wherein
the
Chaldeans
past
,
and
of
their
monuments
,
wherein
the
Greekes
were
ignorant
:
for
Calisthenes
sent
vnto
Aristotle
,
howe
that
Babylon
was
farre
more
famous
for
all
kind
of
learning
and
knowledge
twelue
hundred
yeeres
past
,
then
it
was
when
Alexander
the
Great
did
besiege
it
,
certifying
him
with
recordes
of
19.
hundred
yeeres
before
Alexanders
time
.
Berosus
an
ancient
writer
,
and
a
man
of
great
authoritie
amongst
the
Chaldeans
,
saith

,
Persia
,
Assyria

,
and
all
the
regions
about

towards
the

part
of

:
The
posteritie
of
Cham
went
to
Egypt
,
Aethiope
,
Libya
,
and
possessed
all
places
about
Nilus
,
and
reached
towards
the
South
vnto
the
furthest
part
of

:
and
the
posteritie

possessed
all
the

the

all

,
of
whom
all
the

Thus
much
for
the

age
from
Adam
vnto
Noah
,
1656.
Now
I
meane
particularlie
to
follow
my
historie

as
the
reason
is
offered
vnto
me
by
following
the

it

most
ancient
from

But
to
returne
to
Abraham
,
who
attending
the
voyce
of
the
almightie
,
was
most
diligent
with
care
and
feare
of
God
to
performe
his
dutie
to
his
God
:
for
God
had
blessed
Abraham
and
promised
also
to
blesse
them
that
would
blesse
Abraham
,
saying
,
Benedicam

thee

For
God
had
promised
Abraham
three
great
blessings
,
that
is
,
First
,
the
land
of
Canaan
flowing
with
milke
and
honie
:
Secondly
,
the
incarnation
of
Messias
tobe
out
of
the
tribe
of
Iuda
:
Thirdly
,
that
his
seede
should
be
as
the
starres
in
the
skies
,
or
the
sands
in
the
sea
.
After
God
had
blessed
Abraham
by
the
mouth
of
Melchisedech
the
high
priest
of
God
,
saying
:
Blessed
art
thou
Abraham
of
God
most
high
possessor
of
heauen
and
earth
:
to
Melchisedech
,
Abraham
paied
tithe
of
all
that
he
had
,
for
God
was
with
Abraham
,
he
defended
him
,
and
he
rewarded
him
.
About

time

Samuel
loued

much

mourned
much

reprooued

Saul
being
deposed

from

hee
fell
vnto
great
melancholie
,
imagining
how
he
might
compasse

bring

to

with
troubled
minde
:
for
the
euill
spirite
of

came
vpon
him

oftentimes
was

While

was
in

melancholie

,
the
Philistines
were
againe
in

against
Israel
,
wasted
their
countrey

destroyed

Ishboseth
the
sonne
of

was
likewise
annointed
king
ouer
the
house
of
Israel
:
hence
grew
great
warres
betweene
the
house
of
Saul
and
the
house
of
Dauid
:
for
Abner
the
chiefe
captaine
of
Saul
,
and
the
master
of
Sauls
horses
,
thought
it
not
fit
that
any
should
gouerne
Israel
but
Sauls
sonne
,
who
was
right
heire
to
the
kingdome
,
perswading
the
people
thereunto
,
and
gathering
force
together
,
and
would
by
the
sword
make
Ishboseth
king
of
Israel
,
who
kept
then
his
court
at
Manahim
,
vnder
whom
all
the
Hebrewes
sauing
the
tribe
of
Iuda
were
ruled
.
Dauid
this
time
lying
in
Hebron
,
and
hearing
of
Abners
preparation
to
warres
,
consulted
with
the
Lord
,
and
sollicited
But
God
wrought
otherwise
to
bring
his
purpose
to
passe
:
while
Saul
liued
,
hee
had
a
concubine
named
Rizpha
,
with
whom
Abner
kept
companie
,
and
consumed
more
time
with
Rizpha
then
he
did
in
the
seruice
of
Ishboseth
.
The
king
being
moued
with
some
choler
,
charged
Abner
with
his
fault
concerning
his
fathers
concubine
:
this
checke
could
not
be
wel
disgested
of
Abner
,
and
therefore
he
communed
with
the
elders
of
Israel
,
and
perswaded
them
to
take
Dauid
for
their
king
:
and
after
that
,
Abner
went
to
Hebron
to
Dauid
,
and
promised
him
that
he
would
bring
all
Israel
vnder
his
gouernment
:
and
all
this
Abner
did
rather
for
malice
&
hatred
that
he
bare
to
Ishboseth
,
then
for
any
good
will
he
bare
to
Dauid
.
Notwithstanding
,
Dauid
accepted
in
good
part
his
comming
to
him
,
thogh
Ioab
would
haue
had
the
king
to
slay
Abner
for
his
priuate
grudge
,
which
was
the
killing
of
Asahel
Ioabs
brother
,
which
within
a
while
after
Ioab
reuenged
,
for
he
killed
Abner
vnknowing
to
Dauid
,
whose
deth
Dauid
lamented
much
.
When
these
newes
came
to
Sauls
sonne
that
Abner
was
dead
in
Hebron
,
he
was
discouraged
,
and
all
Israel
was
afraid
When
Dauid
had
subdued
the
Iebusites
,
Philistines
,
&
other
diuers
nations
,
as
the
Syrians
,
Phoenicians
,
Edomites

so
that
Dauids
fame
spred
farre
,
his
kingdome
prospered
,
his
people
grew
strong
,
and
himselfe
in
all
his
enterprises
most
happy
:
Then
Dauid
ruled
and
raigned
ouer
all
Israel
,
and
executed
iudgement
and
iustice
to
his
people
.
And
being
at
rest
from
his
enemies
with
great
quietnes
in
Ierusalem
,
behold
,
both
his
Bethsabe
Vrias
wife
,
and
wrote
his
letters
to
Ioab
Now
Dauid
felt
the
anger
of
God
for
sinne
,
hee
confessed
that
he
had
deserued
this
plague
:
for
Dauid
was
faithful
and
obedient
to
God
,
and
shewed
himselfe
contented
with
these
afflictions
.
Absalon
goeth
forward
with
his
armie
,
and
Dauid
fled
ouer
Iordan
to
Mahanaim
:
Absalon
passeth
likewise
ouer
Iordan
and
followed
fast
,
as
Achitophel
had
councelled
him
:
so
Israel
and
Absalon
pitched
in
the
land
of
Gilead
.
God
raised
fauorers
vnto
Dauid
in
euery
place
where
he
came
:
for
certain
of
the
Reubenites
and
Gadites
could
not
beare
the
insolencie
of
the
sonne
against
the
father
,
and
therefore
with
all
the
power
they
had
,
they
ioined
with
Dauid
,
and
the
battell
began
,
so
there
was
a
great
slaughter
of
Absalons
side
,
to
the
number
of
2000.
Israel
fled
before
Ioab
,
and
Absalon
was
caught
by
the
haire
of
his
head
vnder
a
bough
of
an
oke
,
where
he
hanged
till
Ioab
came
and
killed
him
,
and
so
Dauid
againe
was
restored
Now
this
warre
being
ended
,
new
warres
againe
began
betweene
Iuda
and
the
tenne
tribes
of
Israel
,
more
cruel
then
the
warres
of
Absalon
:
for
Sheba
a
man
of
Ephraim
,
he
now
again
raised
Israel
against
Dauid
,
and
made
the
Israelites
to
forsake
Dauid
,
and
to
follow
Sheba
:
but
his
head
was
caried
by
Ioab
to
Dauid
.
After
this
,
Dauid
had
foure
great
battels
with
Thus
was
Dauid
deliuered
by
God
from
all
daungers
,
tyrannie
and
treason
,
and
saued
from
Saul
,
Absalon
and
many
others
.
When
Dauid
had
gotten
by
the
sword
peace
and
quietnesse
,
and
brought
all
nations
subiect
vnto
him
,
hee
tooke
his
rest
and
thanked
God
in
Psalmes
,
Hymnes
,
Odes
&
Verses
,
which
Dauid
sang
vnto
God
in
praise
of
victories
which
God
gaue
him
.
But
yet
more
troubles
came
on
Dauid
:
The
Lord
so
suffered
Satan
to
tempt
him
,
that
Dauid
commaunded
Gad
,
Dauids
seer
,
with
three
things
to
take
his
choise
:
Pestilence
,
Now
after
this
,
Dauid
waxed
old
,
and
hee
caused
Salomon
his
sonne
to
bee
annointed
king
before
he
died
,
whom
hee
charged
to
walke
before
God
vprightly
,
exhorting
him
to
serue
God
,
to
vse
iustice
and
iudgement
in
Israel
.
Dauid
commanded
Antiochus
Demetrius
sonne
,
who
laying
siege
to
Ierusalem
,
was
contented
to
returne
with
some
of
these
talents
without
any

done

CHAP.
V.
Of
the
taking
away
of
the
ten
tribes
from
Iuda
to
Samaria
,
by
Ieroboam
:
of
the
first
diuision
of
Israel
,
of
their
warres
and
last
destructions
of
the
kings
of
Israel
by
Salmanasser
.
NOw
after
Salomon
,
raigned
Roboham
his
sonne
borne
of
an
Ammonitish
woman
named
Noma
.
Ieroboam
now
being
in
Egypt
when
Salomon
died
,
he
was
sent
for
by
some
of
the
elders
of
Israel
:
God
brought
it
to
passe
,
that
when
Ieroboam
came
from
Egypt
vnto
Sichem
,
the
people
followed
Ieroboam
,
and
fled
from
Roboham
:
for
hee
despised
the
counsell
of
the
ancient
wise
men
which
folowed
Israel
,
Ieroboham
builded
him
an
house
in
Sichem
,
and
not
long
contented
Now
about
this
time
in
Ierusalem
,
approched
the
feast
of
the
Tabernacle
,
which
Ieroboam
considered
of
,
and
sawe
it
was
dangerous
to
let
the
people
to
goe
to
Ierusalem
,
least
the
people
should
take
pleasure
with
the
rites
and
ceremonies
of
the
Temple
,
with
their
solemne
pompe
and
dignitie
in
religion
,
with
their
sacrifices
and
feastes
,
and
therefore
he
erected
two
altars
,
the
one
in
Bethel
,
the
other
in
Dan
,
and
caused
two
golden
calues
there
to
be
worshipped
.
Here
the
tenne
tribes
of
Israel
committed
idolatrie
,
forsooke
their
God
,
and
they
followed
Ieroboam
in
all
wickednesse
.
Thus
Dan
and
Bethel
with
all
the
idolatrie
of
Israel
,
continued
till
Roboham
this
while
hauing
but
the
tribe
of
Iuda
and
Beniamin
vnder
his
gouernment
,
repaired
his
Cities
,
fortified
his
countrey
,
and
gathered
an
armie
of
an
hundreth
and
foure
score
thousand
to
fight
against
Ieroboam
,
and
to
bring
Israel
againe
to
Roboham
.
But
they
were
warned
by
the
Prophet
Shemaiah
not
to
fight
,
saying
,
This
is
done
by
GOD
,
who
of
his
iust
iudgement
will
punish
offenders
:
all
this
happened
for
Salomons
sinnes
.
Now
the
kingdome
was
deuided
Roboham
forsooke
the
Lord
,
and
therefore
Susack

for

But
Asa

commanded

When
the

the

he

for
that
he
would
helpe
the
wicked

loue

,
and
most
willing
in

,
to
be
in

with
their
God
against
this
Antiochus
and
his
idoles
.
And
though
these
brethren
were
not
of
the
stocke
of
Dauid
,
nor
of
the
tribe
of
Iuda
,
as
you
may
reade
in
the
Macchabees
,
and

:
yet
they
ioyned
their
force
and
power
together
,
and
appointed
Iudas
Macchabeus

captaine
and
ruler
ouer
them
:
for
in
his
actes
he
was
liks
a
lion
,
for
the
Antiochus
.
Iudas
hauing
these
victories
ouer
Antiochus
the
great
,
went
vp
to
Ierusalem
to
repaire
the
Sanctuarie
which
lay
wasted
,
&
made
a

(
for

erected

and

where
they
sacrificed
according
to

,
and
praysed

for

Antiochus
Eupator
and
Lysias
before
Demetrius
,
who
commaunded
them
to
bee
killed
before
they
came
to
his
sight
.
Now
when
that
Demetrius
was
set
on
his
fathers
throne
,
a
great
enemie
of
Iuda
waxed
hote
to
reuenge
the
slaughter
which
Iudas
Machabeus
made
of
his
friends
and
fauourers
,
while
yet
Demetrius
saued
himselfe
in
Rome
.
Iudas
perceiuing
the
cruell
meaning
of
Demetrius
,
Iudas
Machabeus
,
which
of
the
Romanes
were
most
louingly
accepted
:
and
they
sent
to
Ierusalem
a
letter
written
in
tables
of
brasse
,
wherein
they
had
a
memoriall
or
monument
of
their
friendship
and
peace
.
In
the
meane
time
Demetrius
hauing
heard
of
the
death
of
Nichanor
,
sendeth
his
armie
against
Iudas
:
in
the
which

,
after
many
ioyfull
victories
which
Iudas
had
ouer
his
enemies
,
he

Iudas

,
his
brother
Ionathan
succeeded
him
,
and
had

,
Demetrius
perceiuing

coulde

nothing

Ionathan
,
desireth
peace
with
the
Iewes
:
which
being
done
,
Ionathan
gouerned
Israel
quietly
.
When
Alexander
the
sonne
of
Antiochus
had
heard
the
promises
which
Demetrius
made
to
Ionathan
,
and
also
hearing
of
the
courage
,
vertue
,
and
manhood
of
Iudas
,
Ionathan
,
Simon
,
and
of
the
two
other
brethren
,
hee
sought
the
fauour
of

of

Iewes
.
Then

gathered
a
great
host
,
and
ioyned
in
battell
with
the
armie
of
Demetrius
,
and
the
two
kings
fought
it
out
,
vntil
Demetrius
was
slaine
.
Then
Alexander
sent
his
Embassadors
to
Ptolomeus
king
of
Egypt
,
signifying
vnto
him
howe
he
wanne
his
fathers
kingdome
,
and
sate
on
his
throne
,
requesting
the
kings
daughter
in
mariage
,
&
so
to
be
in
league
of
amitie
,
&
to
continue
perpetual
friends
:
wherein
Ptolomeus
gladly
consented
,
and
maried
his
daughter
Cleopatra
vnto
Alexander
at
giuen
to
Demetrius
.
sonne
of
king
Demetrius
,
which
Alexander
slue
a
little
before
.
When
Alexander
heard
howe
that
his
wife
was
giuen
to
his
enemie
Demetrius
in
mariage
,
hee
came
with
an
host
against
Ptolomeus
his
father
in
lawe
:
for
Ptolomeus
had
put
two
crownes
vpon
his
owne
head
,
the
crowne
of
Asia
,
and
the
crowne
of
Egypt
,
and
had
driuen
Demetrius
after
the
ouerthrowing
of
his
army
,
vnto
Arabia
,
where
he
had
his
head
cut
off
by
Zabelus
,
and
sent
to
Ptolomeus
to
Egypt
,
who
likewise
died
shortly
after
,
and
Demetrius
reigned
after
him
.
All
these
kinges
sought
friendship
at
Ionathans
hands
:

Thus
God
blessed

because
they
were

encreased
by

,
sawe
an
easie
way
to
obteine
the
kingdome
by
killing
of
the
yong
king
Antiochus
,
to
whome
he
promised
faith
and
seruice
to
restore
him
to
his
kingdome
,
for
that
his
father
Alexander
was
wrongfully
deposed
and
slaine
.
For
as
soone
as

had
slaine
Ionathan
and
his
two
sonnes
,
and
also

,
hee

and
wanne

pursued
Triphon
(
which
then
vsurped
the
kingdome

,
)
to
the
castle
of

,
from
whence
he
secretly
fled
vnto

,
where
he
was
slaine
by
Antiochus
friendes
,
within
3.
yeeres
after
he
had
falsly
vsurped
Syria
.
After
this
,
grew
strife
betweene
Antiochus
and
Simon
,
and
therefore
Cendebaeus
was
appointed
Captaine
by
Antiochus
against
Simon
:
but
Simon
preuailed

Now

possessing
the
office
of
his
father
,
not
forgetting
the
villenie
and
cruel
murther
of
this
Ptolomeus
,
thought
Demetrius
Hircanus
.
When
he
had
heard
that
Antiochus
was
dead
,
he
came
presently
with
an
armie
to
Syria
,
destroyed
the
temple
in
Samaria
which
Alexander
the
great
permitted
to
be
builded
,
tooke
Samega

called
Samaria
,
with
the
citie
Sicima
and
many

beside
,
where
the
nations

dwelt
,
which
Salmanassar
brought

him
to

by

the

were
called

Now
it

in

,
gouernment
and

destruction
by
Darius
Medius
,
and
Cyrus
.
NOw
hauing
ended
the
historie
of
the
Hebrewes
,
the
posteritie
of
Arphaxad
the
thirde
sonne
of
Sem
,
I
will
followe
Assur
the
second
sonne
of
Sem
,
who
builded
Niniue
,
from
whom
and
after
whose
name
the
Assyrians
are
called
:
whose
history
I
haue
now
in
hand
.
In
the
hundreth
thirtie
and
one
yeere
after
the
flood
,
when
people
had
multiplied
in
the
land
of
Shinear
,
olde
Noah
taught
the
people
to
seeke
new
seates
and
dwellings
,
instructed
the
newe
worlde
(
the
first
age
after
the
flood
,
)
in
the
course
of
the
Sunne
,
the
Moone
,
and
the
starres
,
and
in
all
other
things
wherein
Noah
was
most
perfite
:
hee
declared
to
his
people
what
he
knewe
and
sawe
in
the
first
age
,
and
deuided
the
world
into
three
parts
,
Asia
,
Africke
,
and
Europe
,
and
sent
his
sonnes
to
seeke
aduentures
.
to
Egypt
.
Sem
to
Asia
.
Iaphet
to
Europe
.
Cham
he
sent
to
Egypt
and
to
Africke
with
his
company
,
Sem
to
Asia
,
and
Iaphet
with
his
people
to
Europe
:
of
whom
I
will
speake
where
their
historie
is
handled
.
Now
I
will
begin
the
historie
of
the
Chaldeans
,
who
after
that
the
people
were
dispersed
at
the
building
of
Babel
,
and
had
scattered
into
euery
partes
of
the
worlde
,
were
the
first
that
erected
vp
a
kingdome
,
and
was
the
first
place
that
was
inhabited
,
as
both
Zenophon
and
Berosus
affirme
:
for
the
Caldeans
knew
that
before
the
flood
that
men
liued
,
and
that
the
continuance
of
them
were
before
the
flood
,
one
thousande
sixe
hundreth
and
fiftie
yeeres
and
more
,
for
that
then
Noah
and
his
sonnes
taught
the
second
age
,
of
things
done
in
the
former
age
,
and
how
for
sinne
God
had
destroied
the
world
:
for
the
Egyptians
and
the
Phoenicians
long
after
the
flood
,
were
taught
by
the
Chaldeans
of
the
flood
,
and
of
the
former
time
,
and
after
more
perfectly
instructed
by
Abraham
,
read
in
Egypt
.
which
in
the
time
of
famine
trauailed
from
Canaan
into
Egypt
,
where
for
a
time
hee
read
Arithmeticke
to
the
Egyptians
,
then
rude
and
ignorant
of
any
great
knowledge
,
that
hearing
of
these
things
,
they
beganne
very
obscurely
and
darkely
to
set
downe
many
things
which
they
then
not
perfectly
knewe
,
and
yet
are
vnperfect
,
for
that
they
were
ignorant
of
the
Genesis
.
The
goodnesse
of
God
spared
Noah
for
350.
yeres
and
more
,
to
instruct
the
second
age
,
&
to
preach
vnto
them
the
wonderfull
workes
and
mercies
of
God
before
the
flood
,
and
to
warne
the
world
after
the
flood
from
sinne
,
the
onely
cause
of
Gods
wrath
towards
man
,
and
to
bring
them
vp
in
the
true
religion
of
God
:
not
as
prophane
writers
affirme
,
that
hee
wandered
all
the
countreys
of
the
world
by
diuers
and
sundry
names
,
as
by
the
name
of
Ogyges
,
Ianus
,
Coelus
,
Oenotrius
,
Geminus
pater
,
and
many
such
fabulous
names
,
of
his
lawes
in
euery
countrey
,
of
his
religion
and
ceremonies
in
euery
kingdome
,
of
his
being
in
Italy
,
in
Spaine
,
and
in
other
countreys
,
cleane
contrary
to
the
nature
and
trueth
of
the
history
,
which
came
after
the
flood
vnto
the
place
where
he
yet
liued
,
with
his
forefathers
,
Lamech
,
Methusalem
,
Enoch
,
and
so
foorth
before
the
flood
,
the
land
of
Shinear
where
by
the
consent
and
opinion
of
the
best
learned
he
liued
vntil
he
died
.
I
wil
not
therefore
follow
Caldean
fables
,
in
the
antiquities
of
their
Caldean
and
Assyrian
kings
,
for
that
they
haue
no
sound
warrant
for
their
historie
,
but
that
which
Berosus
setteth
downe
,
which
Manethon
an
Egyptian
priest
much
commendeth
,
and
maketh
many
supplies
of
Berosus
lies
,
and
so
doeth
Io.
Annius

priest
in
Whitenberge
,
in
his
Commentaries
vpon
Berosus
,
and
so
doth
Diodorus
in
his
bookes
of
Fabulous
antiquitie
.
But
leauing
Berosus
,
Menathon
,
and
Annius
to
forge
their
fables
,
I
wil
as
briefly
as
I
can
,
runne
through
this
historie
,
for
that
I
can
finde
nothing
true
of
them
,
but
that
which
I
reade
in
the
Bible
,
from
the
time
of
Phul

,
vntill
Balsaars
time
,
which
were

The
last
of
these
Kings
was
Balsaar
:
of
these
many
kings
,
in
this
the
history
of
the
Prophetes
make
mention
,
and
so
much
of
the
historie
is
true
.
I
will
therefore
set
downe
the
continuance
,
the
nombers
of
their
kings
,
the
change
and
varietie
of
this
Kingdome
:
for
after
that
Nimrod
had
drawen
people
together
,
he
first
laide
the
foundation
of
the
Empire
,
made
lawes
,
began
to
builde
a
great
Citie
,
and
named
it
Babylon
,
the
first
Citie
after
the
flood
:
which
Citie
though
Nimrod
began
it
,
his
sonne
Belus
Herodotus
Solinus
,
where
it
is
largely
Iosephus
lib.
1.
contr
App.
and
Beroaldus
3.
Chr.
affirme
,
that
the
olde
writers
erred
much
about
the
building
of
Babylon
,
and
of
Niniue
:
for
that
which
Nabuchodonosor
claimed
to
be
his
owne
,
saying
,
Nonne
haec
est
Babylon
quam
ego
aedificaui
in
robore
fortitudinis
meae
?
Is
not
this
Babylon
which
I
haue
builded
?
the
Grecians
and
all
olde
writers
attribute
to
Nimrod
,
to
Belus
,
and
to
Semiramis
.
The
like
fable
is
of
Niniue
,
which
was
builded
first
by
Assur
,
the
sonne
of
Semi
,
by
writers
is
attributed
to
Nynus
.
Herein
both
Greeke
and
Lataine
Historians
are
ouer
seene
aswell
in
the
time
,
as
in
the
persons
,
in
that
they
were
ignorant
of
the
Prophetes
histories
:
howbeit
Babylon
was
begun
by
Nimrod
and
Belus
,
and
somewhat
enlarged
and
beautified
by
Semiramis
:
but
the
dignitie
and
chiefe
soueraigntie
of
Babylon
must
be
graunted
to
Nabuchodonosor
,
vnder
whom
the
Caldeans
onely
florished
ouer
all
Kingdomes
,
and
enioyed
aureum
seculum
.
So
this
Countrey
florished
first
before
all
other
Countreis
.
This
Nynus
waxed
great
and
strong
,
layed
siege
to
Babylon
,
subdued
it
,
and
brought
the
Empire
of
Caldea
subiect
vnto
Assyria
:
then
both
Caldea
and
Assyria
became
one
Monarchie
,
Assyria
:
Niniue
to
Babylon
,
and
Babylon
to
Niniue
,
vntill
both
were
subdued
by
the
Medes
,
and
after
by
the
Persians
:
so
God
doth
appoint
,
and
God
doth
disappoint
states
and
common
wealthes
,
according
to
the
decree
of
his
eternall
will
,
sinne
being
the
onely
cause
of
Gods
anger
and
wrath
,
his
wrath
the
cause
of
all
calamities
,
destruction
,
and
subuersion
of
kingdomes
,
as
Sirach
saith
,
Regnum
à
gente
in
gentem
transferetur
propter
iniustitiam
.
Therefore
Pompei
the
great
,
being
a
heathen
man
,
and
driuen
to
flight
in
the
the
battell
at
Pharsalia
by
Iulius
Caesar
,
Iulius
Caesar
and
himselfe
,
demaunded
of
him
,
an
sit
prouidentia
?
whether
the
decree
and
purpose
of
God
is
vnchangeable
?
Cratippus
answered
him
,
though
a
heathen
Fatales

imperiorum

,
the
prouidence
of
God
is
most
sure
and
Iulius
Caesar
,
the
first
Emperour
of
Rome
,
which
Pompei
founde
true
within
a
while
after
:
and
so
Chaldea
first
,
and
Assyria
after
,
so
the
Medes
,
so
the
Persians
,
so
the
Grecians
;
and
last
of
all
the
Romanes
came
to
destruction
by
not
confessing
God
,
neither
acknowledging
his
prouidence
,
as
you
shall
reade
in
their
seuerall
histories
.
But
nowe
to
speake
of
the
rest
of
the
kings
of
Assyria
,
for
that
they
were
at
one
time
,
and
gouerned
together
,
Belus
the
sonne
of
Nimrod
,
after
he
had
(
as
you
haue
heard
)
laid
the
fundations
of
Babylon
by
his
father
Nimrod
before
appointed
,
a
peaceable
prince
,
quiet
,
gentle
,
&
curteous
vnto
his
subiects
,
vntil
about
the
latter
end
of
his
reigne
hee
became
to
bee
ambitious
,
most
cruelly
giuen
to
enlarge
the
Empire
of
Babylon
,
and
(
as
Berosus
saith
)
to
bring
all
Nations

Nynus
succeeded

Belus
,
the
third
king
of
the
Assyrians
,
imitating
his
father
both
by
nature
and
by
commandement
,
lost
no
time
,
but
streight
in
armes
,
&
where
his
father
subdued
the
most
part
of
Assyria
and
Asia
,
this
king
went
further
,
hauing
conquered
euery
where
vntill
the
coasts
of
Libya
,
finding
the
people
yet
not
able
to
resist
him
,
not
acquainted
with
wars
,
but
seeking
meanes
to
fortifie
their
kingdomes
,
being
as
yet
weake
and
tender
,
without
any
great
force
,
not
so
strong
as
to
resist
Nynus
being
at
that
time
the
greatest
king
in
the
worlde
,
which
ouercame
Aricus
king
of
Arabia
,
but
some
say
king
of
Ellasar
,
Nynus
hauing
this
foile
returned
with
greater
force
,
ioyned
againe
in
battel
,
ouercame
the
Bactrians
,
slue
their
king
,
&
possessed
the
kingdome
by
the
pollicie
of
Semiramis
,
whom
Diodorus
Siculus
at
large
.
This
Nynus
excelled
his
father
,
augmenting
the
Empire
of
Assyria
,
by
the
conquestes
hee
did
of
all
Asia
,
and
of
all
the
East
kingdomes
vnto
the
Indians
:
hee
amplified
the
Citie
of
Niniue
,
which
Assur
the
sonne
of
Sem
began
Philo
Iudaeus
doe
affirme
:
but
Melancthon
saith
,
that
Nynus
two
hundred
yeeres
after
builded
Niniue
:
after
Assur
began
it
that
Nynus
enlarged
it
,
beautified
and
made
it
so
great
,
that
it
conteined
foure
hundred
furlongs
of
ground
,
which
is
fiftie
miles
after
our

it
had
a

fiue

towres
vpon

it
had

soueraignetie

there
Nynus
,
and
all
the
kings
of

kept
their

this
was
called
by
Nynus

hee
reigned
two

fiftie
yeeres

and
was
amongst
the

of
great
fame
:
hee
excelled

There
is
mention
made
of

this

more

no

then
it

therefore
nothing
may
be
read
of
the

for
they
helde

This
is
that
Pharao
that
resisted
Moses

plagued

,
of

I
haue
written

In
his

he

IN
the
last
yeere
of

began
Dardanus
to
gouerne
the
Troianes
,
himselfe

the

,
then

and
the

after
the

eight
hundred
and
thirtie
yeeres
:
for
Berosus
in
the
last
yeeres
of
Ascatades
the
eighteenth
king
of
the
Assyrians
,
ended
his
historie
,
and
went
into
Athens
,
and
read
the
Grecians
Astronomy
,
instructed
them
in
the
Chaldeans
knowledge
,
concerning
the
first
age
before
the
flood
:
secondly
,
the
genealogie
of
Adam
,
and
the
rest
vnto
the

:
thirdly
,
of
the

and
of
Noah
,
by
the

of
Ianus
,
of
his
long

,
of
his

lawes

taught

the

caused

with
a
tongue
gilded
in
his

,
and
to
bee
put
vp
in
the
open
schoole
at
Athens
:
thus
was
Berosus
in
Athens
honored
with
a
statue
.
I
thinke
it
best
therefore
after
that
Berosus
ended
his
historie
of
the
kings
of
Assyria
,
briefely
to
passe
them
ouer
,
onely
setting

the

of
the

their

the

I
haue
already

Many
of

haue
beene

they
left

sauing
that
by
the

we
know
how
euery
kingdome

they

the

were
the
first
kings

were
idle

therfore
is

Euen
so
the

,
lost
their
kingdome
in
the
midest
of

,
and
were
ouerthrowen
by
Cambyses

To
bee
short
,
because
God
would
bee
knowen
vnto
his

,
whom
the
wicked
neuer
confessed
to

the
God

he
deliuered

for

pride
herein
,
thinking
that
it
was

,
his

,
hee
deliuered

with

into
the
handes
of

flourished
much
aboue

for

Thus
God
appointed
the

to

raised
vp
the

This
Sethofis
was
mightie
&
strong
on

vpon

:
he
prepared
an
huge
armie
against
the
Cyprians
,

,

after
against
the
Assyrians
and
the
Medes
,
committing
the
gouernment
of

to
his

named
Armais
,
which
is
also
called
Danaus
:
he
deliuered
all

,
charging
him
to
abstaine
from

concubines
,
and
not
in
any

himselfe

rebelled

imprisoned

The

certified
,
returned
in

draue
his

Armais
out

,
and
at

named
the

doeth
write

the

of

made
a

in

declared

In

gouernment
To
these
Grecians
did
the
king
giue
a

Psammiticus
commaunded

But
now
to
the
king
Psammiticus
againe
,
who
hauing
long
layd
siege
to
Azotum
a
citie
of
Syria
,
and
after
many
yeeres
ouerthrowen

for
it
was
the
longest
siege
that
euer
endured

)
Psammiticus
died
:
after
whom
succeeded
his
sonne
Necho
,
of
whom
the
Prophets
make
true
mention
,
and
therefore
Herodotus
,
Diodorus
,
and
others
,
may
be
the
better
spared
being
prophane
writers
,
because
hee
and
his
doings
is
mentioned
in
the
sacred
histories
:
of
whom
the
Prophets
write
,
that
the
wrath
of
God
was
ripe
to
giue
iudgement
against
Egypt
at
this
time
:
for
Egypt
had
so
long
offended
the
Lorde
with
their
vaine
superstition
and
idolatrie
.
Now
Necho
was
cried
out
vpon
by
the
Prophet
Ezechiel
,
Howle
and
crie
,
woe
be
vnto
Egypt
,
the
sworde
shall
come

shall

Thus
the
Prophet
cried
out
againe
,
I
will
powre
out
my
wrath
vpon
Shin
,
(
which
is
named
in

Of

conquering

by
Cambyses
the
second
king
of
Persia.
THis

great
warres
grewe
betweene
the
Assyrians

the
Egyptians
:
the
greatnes
of
both
these
kingdomes
,
which
then
were
the
onely
kingdomes
of
the
world
,
were
destroyed
by
the
sword
:
for
so
the
Prophet
saide
,
that
Egypt
should
be
the
reward
of
the
king
of
Babylon
,
for
his
labour
which
he
tooke
against
Tyrus
,
and
so
it
was
performed
in
Necho
:
after
much
mischiefe
that
I
will
strengthen
the
armes
of
Nabuchodonosor
,
and
the
armes
of
Pharao
shal
be
weakened

Of
this

thus

thirtie
fiue
yeeres

died
by

of

During

many
destructions
of

the
destruction

the
warres
betweene

which
continued
seuen

twentie
yeeres
,
the
victorie
whereof
fell
to
the
king
of

as
the
Prophet

had
sayde
,
I
will
giue
the
lande
into
the
hande
of
Nabuchodonosor

was
about

This
Amasias
,
as
the
rest
of
the
kings
before
him
,
was
so
idolatrous
,
and
so
addicted
to
obey
Oracles
,
that
hee
also
imitated
his
predecessours
in
such
fonde
buildings
,
to
carie
huge
stones
from
Memphis
and
from
Elephantina
to
builde
a
temple
vp
vnto
Minerua
in

much
mused

might
passe

monstrousnesse

great
huge
stones
to

,
and

many

pallaces
.
Many
good
lawes
are
written
among
the
Egyptians
by
Sasiches
and
by
Sesostris
,
but
specially
by
Bocchoris
,
of
whose
lawes
I
wil
set
dowme
some
few
as
Diodorus
wrote
them
,
to
the
nomber
of
17.
1.
The
first
law
was
,
that
none
might
violate
their
gods
with
othes
:
the
offenders
herein
were
punished
as
false
to
God
and
man
.
2.
If
any
ayded
not
a
man
iniuried
or
beaten
,
or
robbed
by
any
man
,
either
vpon
the
way
as
he
trauailed
,
or
in
the
place
where
he
dwelt
,
he
was
to
die
for
it
,
if
he
might
haue
helped
it
:
else
to
publish
,
and
to
call
for
helpe
.
3.
False
witnes
was
so
punished
,
by
a
decree
made
for
that
purpose
:
the
punishment
that
hee
that
was
accused
should
haue
,
being
proued
,
should
be
for
the
false
accuser
not
being
proued
.
4.
Against
idlenes
,
all
the
names
of
the
citie
,
parish
,
or
countrey
,
are
brought
and
recorded
with
the
magistrates
of
the
prouinces
,
&
are
examined
,
how
they
are
occupied
,
how
they
liue
,
of
what
trade
or
trafique
he
or
they
be
of
:
if
he
be
found
idle
,
he
shall
die
by
the
lawe
in
Egypt
:
this
law
Solon
caried
with
him
from
Egypt
to
Athens
.
5.
If
any
man
killed
a
freeman
,
or
a
seruant
,
death
was
his
punishment
.
6.
If
the
father
killed
the
sonne
,
he
was
free
from
death
,
but
he
should
for
three
dayes
be
punished
as
the
decree
was
made
in
that
behalfe
:
for
the
Egyptians
thought
not
the
father
worthy
of
death
for
killing
of
his
sonne
,
quia
auctor
fuit
.
7.
For
the
sonne
that
killed
his
father
,
the
greatest
torments
that
might
be
deuised
was
by
lawe
appointed
for
him
,
for
to
take
the
life
of
him
away
,
which
gaue
him
life
.
8.
If
a
woman
with
child
,
by
law
be
condemned
to
die
,
she
is
reserued
vntill
the
childe
be
borne
:
for
the
Egyptians
thinke
it
not
fit
that
two
should
be
punished
,
when
one
had
offended
,
and
that
the
giltlesse
with
the
giltie
should
be
condemned
:
Iniquum
enim
iustum
cum
iniusto
poenam
pati
.
This
law
was
caried
from
Egypt
into
Greece
,
&
from
Greece
into
other
countreis
.
9
The
souldier
that
offended
his
captaine
in
the
fielde
,
or
had
transgressed
the
commandement
of
the
officers
,
he
should
not
die
,
but
with
all
infamie
and
shame
he
should
haue
two
letters
printed
in
his
forehead
,
as
common
markes
of
infamie
:
but
if
hee
had
reuealed
any
secrets
to
the
enemies
,
the
lawe
had
commaunded
his
tongue
to
be
pluckt
out
of
his
head
.
10
If
any
had
clipt
any
lawfull
coine
,
or
counterfaited
the
like
,
or
diminished
the
weight
,
by
lawe
he
should
die
.
11
If
any
man
had
counterfaited
the
hand
of
any
man
,
or
had
taken
away
any
letters
,
or
had
put
in
any
letters
in
any
writings
,
or
found
faultie
in
forging
any
deede
or
letters
,
he
should
haue
both
his
hands
cut
off
.
12
If
any
had
violated
by
force
any
maid
or
free
woman
,
he
should
haue
that
member
punished
that
had
offended
,
his
priuie
members
cut
off
:
if
by
consent
the
man
and
woman
sinned
,
it
was
by
lawe
appointed
that
the
man
should
be
beaten
with
roddes
to
the
number
of
a
thousand
stripes
,
and
the
woman
should
haue
her
nose
cut
off
,
for
a
marke
of
a
whore
.
13
For
satisfiyng
of
creditors
in
borowing
of
money
,
it
was
by
an
othe
confirmed
,
&
not
with
obligations
made
,
that
the
money
shoulde
be
paide
vpon
the
day
appointed
:
for
a
sacred
othe
sincerely
inuiolated
,
was
more
esteemed
in
Egypt
,
then
any
writing
or
bond
made
:
for
it
was
a
wonder
to
see
in
Egypt
a
man
forsworne
.
14
For
it
was
not
lawfull
to
arrest
any
man
in
Egypt
for
debtes
by
the
lawe
of
Bochoris
,
but
to
seize
vpon
the
goods
or
substance
:
for
whatsoeuer
passed
in
secrete
writings
betweene
the
partie
and
creditour
,
no
arrest
was
admitted
:
for
all
the
people
of
Egypt
were
diuided
into
foure

The
like
law
was

,

As
for
the
law
for
mariage
,
it
was
thus
:
that
the
priests
of
Egypt
might
mary
but
one
wife
a
piece
:
others
as
many
Memphis
,
Heliopolis
,
Thebes
,
and
the
rest
,
in
euery
citie
one
chiefe
Iudge
with
his
sociates
with
him
,
as
were
the
Areopagites
in
Athens
,
or
the
Ephories
in
Sparta
.
Of
other
lawes
concerning
the
religions
of
their
gods
,
&
their
burials
,
and
of
their
discipline
and
order
in
warres
,
I
haue
written
of
it
in
the
Diall
of
dayes
.
There
was
also
a
lawe
in
Egypt
before
these
lawes
,
that
the
But
as
Egypt
florished
in
the
time
of
king
Amasis
,
so
Egypt
was
brought
subiect
vnto
the
Persians
within
sixe
dayes
after
Notwithstanding
after
he
had
conquered
his
sonne
Psammenitus
,
and
had
possessed
the
kingdome
of
Egypt
,
hee
went
from
Memphis
vnto
Sai
,
to
satisfie
his
wrath
vpon
Amasis
:
and
though
he
was
before
buried
,
yet
hee
caused
his
carcas
to
be
brought
before
him
,
and
commaunded
it
first
to
be
whipt
and
Thus
the
olde
auncient
kings
of
Egypt
continued
a
thousand
Darius
Nothus
,
and
kept
of
,
vntill
by
many
sharpe
battailes
they
were
againe
by
Ochus
vanquished
,
who
vsed
in
Egypt
great
crueltie
.
About
this
time
Tomiris
Queene
of
the
Massegets
,
and
Tarquinius
superbus
,
the
last
king
of
the
Romanes
reigned
in
Rome
:
for
the
Romanes
lost
their
kings
,
and
the
Egyptians
lost
their
kingdome
about
one
time
.
Cambyses
this
time
hindred
the
building
of
the
Temple
by
the
meanes
of
the
Samaritanes
,
who
euer
enuied
Ierusalem
.
Thus
briefely
I
haue
written
of
the
state
and
gouernment
of
the
olde
kings
of
Egypt
,
Pharaos
by
name
,
vntill
the
time
of
Alexander
the
great
:
and
nowe
something
after
Alexanders
dayes
.
Egypt
and
their
kings
afterward
altered
and
changed
Iulius
Caesar
,
during
which
time
the
kings
of
Egypt
were
called
Ptolomei
.
Therefore
I
haue
gathered
together
all
the
names
of
these
auncient
kings
of
Egypt
,
from
Osiris
time
the
first
potentate
in
Egypt
,
which
was
in
the
time
of
Abraham
,
vntil
Amasis
time
,
the
last
Pharao
which
was
in
Cambyses
time
the
second
king
of
Persia
:
that
is
,
from
the
going
of

a

Against
this
king
,
Antiochus
the
great
king
of
Asia
and
Syria
,
came
towarde
Egypt
,
and
beganne
to
take
and
spoile
those
Cities
of

held

Philopator
the

mette

a

in

Confines
of

,
where
Antiochus
the
great
was
ouerthrowen
and
put
to
flight
,
and
This
victorie
was
well
gotten
,
but
not
well
vsed
,
for
Philopator
was
so
puffed
vp
with
pride
and
insolencie
,
that
There
it
said
was
by
Daniel
,
that
Antiochus
and
all
his
armie
should
be
deliuered
into
the
handes
of
Philopator
,
and
after
that
victorie
,
it
was
by
the
Prophete
saide
,
that
I
passe
briefely
these
Histories
of
Egypt
,
for
that
in
the
Ptolomei
Epiphanes
,
the
sonne
and
heire
of
Philopator
was
young
,
and
not
able
to
resist
They
of
Alexandria
sent
to
Rome
to
the
Senators
for
ayde
against
Antiochus
,
and
against
Philippe
king
of
Macedonia
:
for
both
these
two
kings
affected
the
kingdome
.
Ambassadors
were
sent
from
the
Senators
vnto
Antiochus
,
willing
him
to
auoyde
out
of
Egypt
,
and
not
to
doe
iniurie
to
the
yong
king
.
This
messenger
was
litle
esteemed
of
Antiochus
,
and
therefore
Romanes
.
Antiochus
being
aduertised
of
this
,
agreed
with
Ptolomey
Epiphanes
,
and
gaue
him
Cleopatra
his
daughter
in
mariage
,
supposing
thereby
the
easier
to
get
the
kingdome
of
Egypt
:
hee
gaue
Coelosyria
,
Iudea
,
Samaria
,
and
Phoenicia
with
his
Glabrio
,
Romane
Consuls
,
and
the
next
yeere
after
,
he
was
quite
driuen
out
of
Syria
and
Asia
,
by
Lucius
Cornelius
Scipio
,
at
the
citie
of
Magnesia
.
Of
this
Antiochus
the
great
,
and
of
his
sonne
Antiochus
Epiphanes
another
monster
,
Daniel
before
shewed
their
tyranny
:
for
during
the
time
of
these
two
kings
,
Antiochus
Epiphanes
Ptolomey
Epiphanes
king
of
Egypt
,
the
Iewes
were
most
miserably
afflicted
.
Reade
Iosephus
,
how
also
the
Samaritanes
molested
them
,
and
sore
vexed
them
.
And
for
that
I
spake
of
these
kings
before
in
the
history
of
Assyria
,
I
will
briefly
runne
ouer
the
rest
of
these
kings
.
Now
after
that
Ptolomey
Epiphanes
had
raigned
24.
yeeres
,
hee
died
,
leauing
two
sonnes
behinde
him
,
the
elder
called
Philometor
,
Antiochus
Epiphanes
,
a
subtile
king
,
vnder
the
pretence
of
loue
and
care
of
his
nephew
,
became
his
ouerseer
and
tutour
,
rather
aspiring
the
kingdome
then
respecting
the
king
,
for
hee
furnished
Egypt
with
men
of
armes
,
hauing
the
strongest
townes
of
Egypt
in
his
owne
hand
,
as
Pelusium
and
others
.
The
king
being
yet
yong
,
idle
,
slow
,
and
of
no
courage
,
addicted
to
all
filthie
vices
,
without
respect
of
himselfe
or
of
his
kingdome
,
fled
to
his
brother
Phiscon
to
Alexandria
,
where
both
were
besieged
by
Antiochus
,
vntill
Popilius
the
Romane
was
sent
from
the
Senators
of
Rome
to
commaunde
Antiochus
out
of
Egypt
,
without
further
delay
,
which
hee
was
constrained
to
obey
,
though
he
did
much
harme
before
his
departure
out
of
Egypt
.
Philometor
hauing
recouered
his
kingdome
into
his
hand
,
and
the
Romanes
to
be
his
friends
,
to
auoyde
further
braules
,
and
to
stablish
himselfe
strong
in
Egypt
,
he
maried
his
daughter
Cleopatra
to
Alexander
,
who
had
then
obtained
the
kingdome
of
Syria
:
but
this
friendship
continued
not
long
:
for
Demetrius
Nicanor
,
the
sonne
of
that
Demetrius
vanquished
by
Alexander
,
came
to
Syria
,
got
certaine
townes
into
his
handes
,
appointed
Apollonius
captaine
of
Coelosyria
,
who
trusting
Ionathas
.
Philometor
vnderstanding
of
these
warres
in
Syria
,
betweene
his
sonne
in
law
Alexander
and
Demetrius
,
he
also
hasted
with
an
armie
to
Syria
,
thought
to
preuent
both
,
and
to
haue
Syria
with
Egypt
:
he
tooke
his
daughter
Cleopatra
away
from
Alexander
,
and
gaue
her
to
Demetrius
,
and
both
wickedly
and
falsly
dealt
with
his
sonne
in
law
.
But
Demetrius
had
Syria
,
and
Alexander
was
slaine
by
Zabdiel
the
king
of
Arabia
,
and
his
head
sent
to
Ptolomey
Philometor
to
Egypt
,
who
then
was
king
both
of
Egypt
and
Syria
but
for
three
dayes
:
for
within
three
dayes
after
Alexander
was
Arabia
,
Philometor
died
in
Egypt
,
and
Demetrius
Nicanor
was
receiued
king
into
Syria
.
This
time
gouerned
in
Ierusalem
prince
Iannaeus
the
last
gouernour
of
Iudea
of
the
house
of
Dauid
:
he
with
many
battels
discomfited
the
Arabians
.
In
Parthia
raigned
now
Mithridates
the
fift
king
,
and
in
Macedonia
raigned
Perseus
the
last
king
.
In
Philometors
dayes
,
Ariarathes
king
of
Thracia
sought
the
Romanes
fauour
,
and
made
a
league
of
peace
with
them
.
Aristobulus
a
Iewe
borne
a
great
Ptolomey
Philopator
.
In
the
beginning
of
this
kings
raigne
,
died
two
of
the
most
famous
warriours
of
the
world
,
Scipio
Affricanus
the
Romane
,
and
Hannibal
the
Carthaginian
.
It
is
supposed
that
they
both
died
in
one
yeere
,
and
both
banished
from
their
countreis
.
But
to
Egypt
againe
.
After
Philometor
,
raigned
Ptolomey
Euergetes
After
Phiscon
was
banished
,
raigned
his
brother
Ptolomey
sirnamed
Alexander
,
as
Melancthon
saith
:
but
Alexander
raigned
not
long
,
but
was
likewise
banished
as
his
brother
was
.
Then
succeeded
in
Egypt
Ptolomey
Lathurus
,
who
in
the
3.
yere
of
Alexander
king
of
Iuda
,
was
expelled
out
of
his
owne
kingdom
by
his
mother
Cleopatra
,
who
fauoring
more
her
yonger
Ptolomey
Lathurus
being
now
in
Cyprus
and
sent
for
by
the
citizens
of
Ptolomais
to
defend
them
from
Alexander
king
of
Iuda
,
which
hearing
of
Lathurus
comming
,
left
his
purpose
,
raised
his
siege
,
&
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
fearing
the
great
armie
of
Ptolomey
,
who
had
thirtie
thousande
in
the
fielde
.
The
citizens
of
Ptolomais
when
Alexander
departed
,
changed
their
purpose
,
and
kept
Lathurus
out
of
the
Ptolomais
.
Alexander
being
aduertised
that
Lathurus
with
al
his
armie
spoyled
and
wasted
his
kingdome
,
he
returned
and
met
at
the
flood
of
Iordan
,
where
Lathurus
gaue
a
very
great
ouerthrow
to
the
king
of
Iuda
,
and
(
as
Iosephus
writeth
)
thirtie
The
calamities
of
the
Iewes
were
such
,
that
they
were
compelled
by
the
king
of
Egypt
to
feede
vpon
the
dead
carcases
,
and
bodies
of
their
friendes
and
countreymen
,
at
what
time
many
godly
men
of
the
Iewes
were
present
,
beholding
this
myserie
,
as
Simeon
,
Zacarias
and
others
.
Beside
this
calamitie
,
Aristobulus
,
Antigonus
,
and
Alexander
Ianneus
:
the
Iewes
at
that
time
were
so
plagued
,
that
Alexander
sent
for
ayde
vnto
Egypt
to
Cleopatra
:
for
Iustine
writeth
,
that
Cleopatra
vsed
Alexander
her
sonne
too
familiarly
,
and
that
her
great
abomination
was
knowen
in
Egypt
.
And
therefore
Ptolomey
Lathurus
was
sent
for
by
his
owne
subiects
to
come
into
Egypt
,
for
that
the
Queene
Cleopatra
Ptolomey
Lathurus
the

king
.
his
mother
who
had
banished
him
from
Egypt
,
practised
tyrannie
and
all
kinde
of
crueltie
in
Egypt
,
where
hee
raigned
8.
yeeres
.
After
Lathurus
,
raigned
in
Egypt
Ptolomey
Auletes
,
father
to
the
last
Cleopatra
,
some
say
her
brother
,
which
was
Ptolomey
Auletes
the
11.
king
.
Marcus
Antonius
friende
:
this
king
liued
at
Rome
vntill
such
time
as
he
was
restored
by
Gabinius
into
his
kingdome
of
Egypt
,
at
the
commandement
of
the
Senators
.
This
Auletes
is
named
by
Eusebius
and
Epiphanius
,
Dionysius
.
This
king
for
some
certaine
offences
and
discords
done
to
his
subiects
,
departed
from
Alexandria
,
and
sailed
towards
Rome
,
hoping
that
Caesar
or
Pompey
would
restore
him
to
his
kingdome
:
and
being
desirous
to
see
Cato
,
trauailed
vnto
him
where
he
was
occupied
:
and
opening
the
cause
of
his
comming
to
Rome
,
sought
therein
Catoes
counsell
,
who
tolde
Cato
Ptolomey
found
to
bee
true
:
for
after
long
being
at
Rome
,
hauing
fully
satisfied
the
Senators
and
other
magistrates
,
he
was
sent
by
the
Senators
,
and
specially
by
Pompey
,
with
one
Gabinius
to
be
restored
to
his
kingdome
againe
,
where
he
raigned
thirtie
yeeres
.
After
Ptolomey
Dionysius
the
12.
king
of
Egypt
.
whom
succeeded
his
sonne
Ptolomey
Dionysius
,
vnto
whom
Pompey
the
great
fled
from
the
battaile
at
Pharsalia
,
hoping
to
haue
some
helpe
for
the
friendship
shewed
to
his
father
,
as
you
heard
before
.
But
there
Pompey
was
slaine
by
the
kings
commaundement
,
Iulius
Caesar
came
after
,
the
like
sauce
was
prepared
for
him
:
but
Caesar
preuented
it
,
ouerthrewe
him
,
and
put
him
to
flight
,
in
the
which
flight
the
king
thinking
to
escape
Caesars
hand
,
entred
Cleopatra
,
Dionysius
sister
,
who
raigned
vntil
the
twelfth
yeere
of
Augustus
Caesar
,
at
what
time
she
willingly
died
to
accompany
her
louing
friend
Marcus
Antonius
:
shee
was
the
last
of
the
line
of
Ptolomeis
,
and
the
last
Queene
of
Egypt
:
for
after
Cleopatra
,
Egypt
was
made
a
prouince
vnder
the
Romanes
by
Augustus
Caesar
,
at
what
time
Augustus
Caesar
commaunded
his
lawes
and
decrees
,
which
himselfe
caused
to
be
engraued
on
a
pillar
of
brasse
,
and
to
be
set
vp
in
Alexandria
for
the
Egyptians
Of
this
Manethon
tooke
no
notice
,
and
therefore
Iosephus
taunted
him
in
his
second
booke
Contra
Appionem
,
that
hee
had
the
heart
of
an
asse
,
and
the
impudencie
of
a
dogge
,
to
make
Egypt
,
which
was
three
seuerall
times
conquered
,
first
by
Cambyses
,
secondly
by
the
great
Alexander
,
and
last
by
Caesar
,
equal
to
the
Hebrewes
which
endured
the
force
,
and
saw
the
last
destruction
of
Assur
,
and
Pharao
.
Thus
Egypt
was
the
thirde
time
conquered
by
Iulius
Caesar
,
and
by
his
nephewe
Augustus
Caesar
,
and
these
many

OF
THE
ANTIQVITIE
of
the
Scythians
:
of
their
lawes
,
gouernments
and
life
:
of
their
hardinesse
in
warres
,
and
of
their
victories
ouer
the
Persians
and
Egyptians
,
and
their
often
inuasions
into
Asia
.
SCythia
is
a
countrey
large
and
wide
,
conteyning
within
it selfe
diuers
and
sundrie
nations
,
as
Sages
,
Nomades
,
Massagetes
,
Amazones
,
Caspians

Hircanians
,
with
Mela

Solinus
&
also
Strabo
in
his
11.
booke
doeth
describe
Scythia
and
other
nations
which
dwelt
in
Scythia
,
exquisite

painfull
men
in
describing
countreis
,
their
townes
,
their
riuers
,
their
hilles
,
their
maners
,
and
natures
.
And
therefore
lest
I
should
seeme
fabulous
(
as
diuers
writers
herein
offend
,
the
Grecians
specially
,
who
neuer
thought
their
histories
worth
the
reading
,
vnlesse
they
were
mingled
with
vaine
fables
)
I
wil
write
of
their
warres
,
and
of
their
antiquitie
,
&
therein
I
shal
hardly
escape
fables
of
some
Talmudist
or
other
,
so
difficult
a
thing
it
is
to
finde
out
a
true
beginning
of
antiquities
in
prophane
histories
,
as
Liuie
saith
,
vt
rerum
vetustas
sine

The
Scithians
are
thought
to
be
one
of
the
ancientest
nations
in
the
world
,
from
whom
diuers
great
kingdomes
tooke
Frenchmen
.
Berosus
affirmeth
,
that
Noah
by
the

Scithia
Saga

&
thence
came
to
Chaldea
,
and
dwelt
in
Senar
:
for
during

time
of
Ianus

Cameses
,
and
Saturnus
,
and
al
the
time
from
Ianus
vntil
Ninus
,
the
prophane
writers
called
the
golden
world
:
for
then
men
liued
without
lawes
,
and
had
all
thinges
in
common

This
Plinie
in
his

Scithians

commanded

was
such
,
that
he
could

The
sixt
king
of
the
Medes
was
named
Phaortes
,
a
man
of
great
promesse
and
of
great
fortune
,
who
much
encreased
the
state
of
Media
with
winning
of
many
countreys
,
and
adding
of
many
nations
to
the
kingdome
of
Media
:
he
moued
warres
first
against
the
Persians
,
and
brought
them
at
length
vnder
his
hand
,
and
vanquished
them
,
who
became
subiects
vnder
Phaortes
to
the
Empire
of
Media
.
After
that
,
he
passed
further
vnto
Asia
,
destroying
and
vanquishing
many
stoute
nations
,
in
so
much
that
he
brought
all
Asia
vnder
the
Medes
.
Againe
he
went
with
great
force
against
the
Assyrians
,
layde
siege
to
Niniue
,
where
he
was
slaine
and
all
his
armie
vanquished
:
At
this
time
raigned
in
Iudea
,
the
good
king
Iosias
,
who
destroied
idolatrie
,
&
restored
religion
,
commanding
the
groues
,
the
altars
,
and
other
superstitious
places
,
to

Amon
,
to
be

of

In

gouerned

of

After

that

and

nations
,
countreys
,
prouinces
,
and
kingdoms
,
and
the

among

Medes
that
deuised

,

,
and
horsemen
,
and
taught
the
Medes
many
warlicke
feates
:
he
vanquished
all
the
regions
about
Media
,
and
gathered
all
the
force
hee
could
against
the
Lydians
,
and
after
brought
all

Now
Astiages
the
king
being
in
his
town
Ecbatana
,
dreamed
of
his
daughter
Mandanes
in
this
sort
:
he
thought
in
his
dreame
that
his
daughter
made
so
much
water
at
one
time
as
filled
al
the
streets
of
the
city
Ecbatana
,
&
that
it
did
ouerflow
all
Asia
:
who
when
he
awaked
,
mused
much
at
this
dreame
,
&
fearing
Cyrus
,
Harpagus
therof
was
very
glad
,
told
the
king
that
in
al
things
his
commandement
was
executed
.
The
king
was
merie
,
&
al
things
very
quiet
,
and
he
doubted
nothing
.
While
this
Astiages
was
lustie
and
frolike
,
Cyrus
grew
in
the
meane
while
to
some
stature
,
being
about
tenne
yeeres
of
age
,
hauing
some
cause
to
be
brought
before
Astyages
,
he
had
some
impression
in
his
head
,
and
conceiued
by
imagination
,
considering
the
time
that
Cyrus
should
haue
bene
killed
,
and
Cyrus
began
to
feele
his
stomacke
being
very
young
,
to
be
very
great
:
yet
for
that
time
he
obeyed
the
king
,
and
went
to
Persia
,
where
he
consulted
with
Harpagus
about
the
recouerie
of
the
kingdome
of
Media
.
For
when
Cyrus
had
heard
how
that
Astiages

The
nations
of
the
inhabitants
of
this
Countrey
are
called
Palischores
,
another
nation
called
Achemenides
:
from
these
the
olde
kings
of
Persia
were
called
Achemenides
:
for
among
the
old
Persians
they
had
a
law
,
that
none
should
be
king
in
Persia
,
but
he
should
be
of
the
stocke
of
Acheminides
,
which
of
long
time
continued
before
Cyrus
,
while
yet
the
Persians
were
called
Elamites
,
among
the
Hebrews
,
&
of
the
auncient
Greekes
called
Cephenes
,
all
kings
of
Persia
were
called
Achemenides
:
the
like
law
was
in
Sparta
,
Corinth
,
Egypt
,
&
with
other
nations
for
their
kings
,
for
that
diuers
kingdoms
had
by
law
confirmed
,
that
no
election
of
kings
should
be
,
but
of
those
families
which
by
lawe
in
recordes
were
allowed
,
as
-
The
kings
of
the
Parthians
were
all
called
Arsaces
,
out
of
Arsaces
stocke
.
-
The
kings
of
Alba
called
Siluij
from
Siluius
Posthumus
,
the
third
king
of
the
Albanes
.
-
The
first
kings
of

were
all
called
Pharaones
.
-
The
kings
of
Corinth
Bacidae
,
of
the
house
of
Bacis
.
-
The
latter
kings
of
Egypt
called
Ptolomei
,
after
the
death
of
Alexander
.
-
The
kings
of
Sparta
.
Heraclides
.
And
so
the
Emperors
of
Rome
named
first
Caesares
,
then
were
-
The
Ethiopians
made
choise
of
the
most
likeliest
man
in
sight
.
-
The
Medes
in
like
maner
vsed
to
make
choise
of
no
king
,
but
such
as
excelled
in
talenesse
of
person
,
and
strength
of
body
.
-
In
Libya
none
should
be
king
,
but
he
that
could
winne
it
with
running
:
for
he
that
was
most
swift
,
should
be
king
in
Libya
:
and
so
according
to
custome
,
and
to
the
maners
of
euery
Countrey
or
kingdome
,
any
prince
or
king
was
elected
and
chosen
.
Againe
there
be

other
nations

For
in
all
the
histories
you
shall
not
reade
,
that
the
Romanes
who
afterward
likewise
mastered
the
whole
worlde
,
had
so
much
treasure
at
one
time
,
as
either
Cyrus
had
left
in
Persia
,
or
as
Alexander
had
found
in
Persia
:
yet
Persia
before
Cyrus
time
was
obscure
and
of
no
fame
,
subiect
vnto
the
Medes
:
for
Cyrus
had
long
warres
&
many
battels
with
Euilmerodach
in
Assyria
,
with
Croesus
in
Lydia
,
with
Astyages
in
Media
,
&
with
Cyrus
began
his
Empire
at
Babylon
,
at
what
time

Siculus
,
who
affirmeth
that
Xerxes
the
fourth
king
after
Cyrus
,
tooke
his
voiage
into
Greece
,
in
the
seuentie
fiue
Olympiad
,
from
Polybius
,
that
affirmeth
Xerxes
went
into
Greece
in

in
the
like

is

,
Herodot
,
and
others
:
some
affirming
Cyrus
to
begin
his
Empire
in

,
some
in
the
54.
some
in
the

some
in

,
&
thus
they
erre
some
30.
Olympiads
,
some
20.
some
more
,
and
some
lesse
of
the
true
time
of
Cyrus
:
for
in
the
sacred
historie
by
sound
testimonie
it
was
laid
downe
by
Daniel
and
in
Nehemias
,
the
very
time
of
Cyrus
.
Now
after
that
Cyrus
had
brought
all
these
kingdoms
vnder
the
monarchie
of
Persia
,
he
tooke
Armenia
in
hand
,
&
hauing
conquered
the
king
&
the
countrie
of
Armenia
,
Tigranes
the
kings
sonne
of
Armenia
,
a
familier
old
friend
of
Cyrus
,
hearing
of
Cyrus
victorie
ouer
his
father
,
he
then
being
farre
from
Armenia
,
returned
home
with
all
haste
,
and
besought
Cyrus
not
to
thinke
of
the
warres
betweene
his
father
and
him
,
but
to
remember
the
amitie
&
familiaritie
which
was
betweene
them
both
:
and
therefore
Tigranes
entreated
Cyrus
to
haue
the
crowne
after
his
father
,
paying
vnto
Cyrus
such
tribute
as
he
would
appoint
:
to
which
request
Cyrus
consented
,
appointing
Phrygia
,
Cappadocia
,
and
Arabia
,
who
coulde
not
long
hold
out
,
but
partly
yeelded
,
and
partly
conquered
,
were
brought
subiect
and
to
pay
tribute
vnto
Cyrus
.
Cyrus
was
woont
before
he
entred
into
battell
,
to
sing
a
song
to
Castor
and
Pollux
,
and
to
march
as
the
olde
Spartanes
,
with
hymnes
and
odes
to
the
muses
to
solace
their
hearts
,
and
to
auoide
feare
that
might
occupie
their
heads
otherwayes
.
Cyrus
his
garde
or
chiefe
souldiers
about
him
were
called
Homotimi
,
as
the
best
souldiers
vnder
Alexander
We
reade
of
no
king
that
conquered
so
many
kingdomes
as
Cyrus
did
,
neither
of
such
fauour
with
God
:
for
no
doubt
he
was
instructed
of
Daniel
to
know
and
to
confesse
the
God
of
Chaldeans
.
Cyrus
being
then
the
onely
conquerour
of
the
world
,
&
hauing
vnder
the
Persian
scepter
all
the
East
kingdomes
,
he
had
in
mind
the
woonted
maners
of
the
Scythians
,
how
they
came
often
times
from
Scythia
,
and
rushed
in
armes
vnto
Asia
,
spoiled
,
wasted
,
and
destroyed
the
regions
and
countries
about
Asia
.
Cyrus
made
warre
vpon
the
Massagites
,
which
were
of
the
stocke
of
the
Gothes
:
of
these
Messagites
came
the
Getes
and
the
Sueuians
.
While
Cyrus
was
occupied
in
these
warres
,
Cambyses
reigned
in
Persia
sixe
yeeres
,
so
that
the
gouernment
of
Cyrus
and
of
his
sonne
Cambyses
were
compted
all
one
for
two
yeeres
,
because
Cyrus
tooke
his
warres
in
hand
needelesse
to
Scythia
.
And
beside
,
he
was
warned
by
Soothsayers
,
by
the
diuination
of
Swalowes
which
were
seene
in
the
tents
of
Cyrus
,
being
vnluckie
birdes
,
not
to
goe

to
breake
the
decree
which
Cyrus
made
after

captiuitie
to
the

for
their
returne
to

the

,

Herodot

,
&
you
shal

the
whole
life
of
Cambyses
,
who
after
Cyrus
death
vsed
al
kinde
of
murthers
,
fomed
in

,
raged
in
tyrannie
,
gathered
an
armie
of
Persia
,
and
of
Greece
,
mooued
warres
against
Amasis
king
of
Egypt
.
The
cause
of
this
warre
doth
Herodot
in
this
sort
set
downe
:
O
Cambyses
,
thou
art
much
deceiued
to
take
me
for
Amasis
daughter
:
I
am
king
Apries
daughter
&
the
last
of
that
house
,
whom
Amasis
the
king
sent
vnto
you
:
he
killed
my
father
,
and
he
nowe
thus
vsed
you
.
Vpon
this
,
Cambyses
sent
vnto
the
king
of
Arabia
,
to
licence
him
with
his
armie
to
haue
passage
to
Egypt
:
which
being
then
graunted
,
Cambyses
spoyled
,
wasted
,
and
burned
,
vntill
hee
came
to
Memphis
,
where
hee
thought
to
finde
Amasis
aliue
,
but
he
found
his
sonne
Psammeticus

Memphis

Cambyses

it
:
the
reason
was
,
that
the
Egyptians
were
woont
euen
from
their
youth
to
shaue
their
heads
,
&
so
hardened
them
by
the
heate
of
the
sunne
,
that
it
is
a
woonder
in
Egypt
to
see
a
balde
man
.
And
the
Persians
were
wont
to
beare
vpon
their
heads
such
great

hats
called
Tiaras
,
rowled
in
such
sort

that
Nowe

vomited
his

sort

that
not

infected

hee
settled

he
vsed
to

supposing
the
pigeon
to

from

that
instructed
Mahomet
in
all
good
discipline

religion
,
that
whatsoeuer
Mahomet
did
,
it
was
taken
as
done
by
a
prophet
.
He
grew
of
such
credite
within
Arabia
,
that
he
made
lawes
and
decrees
,
he
altered
the
whole
course
of
the
Arabians
gouernment
,
and
brought
the
Saracens
to
beginne
their
yeeres
and
their
accompt
,
from
the
beginning
of
Mahomets
raigne
.
For
as
the
Grecians
were
wont
to
nomber
yeeres
by
their
Olympiads
,
the
Romanes
by
their
Lustrum
:
so
the

and
the
first

that
the

from

But
after
much
harme
done
by
this
Haumar
,
hee
was
slaine
by
a
Persian
woman
named
Margaret
,
as
hee
was
praying
,
kneeling
before
the

Haumar
succeeded
Hotaman

raigned
Emperour
Constans

was

who
had
a
great
ouerthrowe
in

for

yeeres

at
what
time
he
was
slaine
by
a
conspiracie
of
souldiers
:
after
whose
death
Muhanias
became
the
fift
Amiras
ouer
the
Arabians
,
who
gouerned
foure
and
twentie
yeeres
,
and
kept
his
court
all
that
time
at
Damascus
.
This
Muhanias
grew
mightie
and
strong
,
inuaded
Affrica
,
slew
fourescore
thousand
Africanes
,
spoyled
the
territories
of
the
Romanes
,
entred
into
their
confines
:
but
the
Romanes
forced
him
to
flee
,
pursued
him
,
and
compelled
him
to
seeke
the
Romanes
fauour
,
paying
three
thousand
pound
in

,
and
fiftie
Saracens
for
yerely
tribute
.
Constantine
the

sirnamed
Pogonatus
,
held
then
the
Empire
at
Constantinople
.
Gizid
the
sonne
of
Muhanias
succeeded
his
father
,
and
raigned
the
ninth
Amiras
.
The
Saracens
about
this
time
inuaded
so
many
countreys
out
of
Asia
,
as
in
Spaine
with
such
armies
by
long
warres
with
the
Gothes
,
who
at
that

mastred
all
Spaine

After

time
,
and
now
after
the
Gothes
,
the
Saracens
possessed
the
West
part
of
Spaine
,
and
from
Spaine
such
an

entred
into

in

that
made
all
Europe
to
be
in
feare
of

monstrous
infidels
:
these
spoiled
and
destroied
countrels
&
kingdomes
,
and
vsed
great
tyrannie
in
euery
place
of
Europe
,
in
like
sort
as
they
did
before
to
the
Hebrewes
and
to
the

of

,
at
what
time
they
were
Agareni
or
Ismaelites
after
the
name
of
Ismael
and
his

Agar
,
and

are
called

Thus
farre
I
thought
good
to
write

neede
not

And
as
in

one
countrie
began

so
one
fell

I
hasten

the
historie
of
Greece

whereof
nothing
yet
is

the
accompting
of

,
sauing
the
warres
that
the
Grecians
had
with
the
kings
of
Persia
,
and
with
the
kings
of
the
Medes
:
for
the
first
tribute
that
euer
was
paid
out
of
Greece
vnto
any
barbarous
king
,
was
vnto
Croesus
the

so
long

florished

as

Asia

enuied
their

sought
to
ouerthrow
their

could
not

For
Plutarch
in
the
life
of
Solon
sayth
,
that
Licurgus
was
the
eleuenth
person
that
descended
from

right

of

:
great
controuersie
there
is
amongst

concerning

of
his
parentage
,
and
of
his
trauell

THus
Lycurgus
being

rare

in

first
consulted
with

by

innouations
against

kings
:
and
againe
to
bridle
the
tyrannicall
Lycurgus
made
lawes
for
the
women
of
Lacedemonia
,
and
instituted
disciplines
for
the
maides
to
exercise
therein
,
as
to
runne
,
to
wrastle
,
to
cast

dart
,
to

hee
made
lawes

Licurgus
also
appointed

taught

Lycurgus
appointed

The
cause

begonne
by

(
as
you

was
the
hatred
of

was

doubting

,
perswaded
Athens

accused

of

was

,

,

Critias

such
,
that

being
thus
weakened

they
sent
to
Philip
for
aide
,
and
besought
him
to
be
their
Generall
in

This
delighted
much

sawe
an

way

Philip
came
with
great
force
,
not
to
reuenge
the
Thebans
(
as
he
saide
)
but
to
reuenge
the
sacriledge
which
the
Phoceans
did
in
Delphos
:

it
is
written
,
that
they
spoyled
the

gaue

A
little
before

he
was
demaunded
who

he
answered

he
that

then
being
againe
asked
at

he
answered
,
when

And
so
it
came
to

,
that
hee
was
left
vnburied
in

vntill

came
from

,
and
caused

was

yeeres
before

Caesar
was
slaine

during

raigned

raigned

of

twelue
yeeres

ouer
the
Medes

leauing

which
the

did
her
great

:
for
king
Darius
had
three
daughters
,
Statira
,
Roxana
,
and
Bersene
,
who
were
all
married
vnto
Alexander

This
time
beganne
the

had
conquered

OF
THE
FIRST
WARRES
of
the
kings
of
Asia
and
of
Syria
with
the
Romanes
:
of
their
succession
in
the
warres
,
and
of
the
continuance
of
their
kingdomes
after
Alexanders
death
.
AFter
the
death
of
Alexander
the
great
,
the
world
being
left
without
a
king
,
his
Lagi
:
Asia
,
to
Antigonus
:
Persia
and
the
East
part
to
Seleucus
Nicanor
:
and
Macedonia
vnto
Antipater
,
as
you
heard
in
the
historie
of
the
kings
of
Macedonia
.
Now
I
haue
in
hand
to
speake
of
Seleucus
the
great
king
after
Alexander
for
after
Antigonus
was
slaine
,
and
his
sonne
Demetrius
Seleucus
Nicanors
raigne
,
which
in
the
Machabees
is
obserued
.
This
king
grew
so
great
,
that
hauing
subdued
all
Antigonus
kingdomes
,
and
hauing
giuen
Lysimachus
the
ouerthrow
being
of
the
age
of
77.
yeeres
,
he
thought
no
lesse
in
his
minde
after
such
great
victories
,
but
to
become
another
Alexander
,
and
to
bring
all
the
worlde
vnder
his
gouernment
:
for
hee
ouercame
the
Bactrians
,
and
passed
to
the
Indians
,
hauing
alreadie
vnder
his
Scepter
all
Asia
,
Persia
,
Syria
,
Babylon
,
with
diuers
others
.
Of
this
Seleucus
Iustine
writeth
a
strange
historie
,
how
his
mother
Laodice
being
maried
to
Antiochus
,
seemed
in
Philip
Alexanders
father
.
The
elder
that
Seleucus
waxed
,
the
more
ambitious
hee
was
:
euen
so
was
Lysimachus
as
olde
as
hee
,
the
one

By
this
time
died
the
most
part
of
those
that
were
Alexanders
Perdicca
,
Craterus
,
Emmenis
,
Antigonus
,
Antipater
,
Cassander
and
his
two
sonnes
.
Polibius
saith
,
that
Ptolomeus
the
sonne
of
Lagi
,
Lysimachus
,
Seleucus
,
and
Ptolomey
Cerainon
,
died
in
the
hundreth
twentie
and
foure
Olympiad
,
which
was
after
Alexanders
the
great
tenne
Olympiads
,
which
is
fourtie
yeeres
:
for
he
died
in
the
hundreth
and
fourteene
Olympiad
.
All
writers
doe
agree
of
this
Olympiad
:
for
the
Greekes
compted
their
Seleucus
after
he
had
gotten
so
great
fame
,
that
all
Asia
and
Syria
obeyed
him
,
he
beganne
to
builde
townes
and
cities
,
as
Antioch
,
Laodicea
,
Seleucia
,
Apamia
,
Edissa
,
Berouea
,
and
Pellum
,
and
brought
the
Iewes
to
inhabite
these
cities
:
he
gaue
them
equall
lawes
and
ordinances
,
together
with
the
Grecians
,
to
liue
and
to
enioy
their
libertie
thereby
:
and
after
he
raigned
one
and
thirtie
yeeres
he
died
.
After
him
succeeded
Antiochus
Soter
the
second
king
of
Syria
:
Now
after
he
had
maried
Berenices
,
he
liued
in
quiet
and
in
Berenices
Philadelphus
daughter
:
but
first
she
imagined
to
requite
her
husbands
courtesie
,
for
calling
her
home
:
and
fearing
he
would
do
the
like
againe
,
she
gaue
him
a
cuppe
of
drinke
and
dispatched
him
quite
:
then
shee
called
both
her
sonnes
,
and
made
them
with
speede
(
onely
to
feede
her
furie
)
to
put
Berenices
out
of
the
way
.
Hence
grew
the
cause
of
all
the
warres
(
as
I
When
Philadelphus
died
and
his
sonne
Ptolomey
Euergetes
succeeded
,
he
thought
to
reuenge
the
murthering
of
his
sister
,
and
made
a
great
armie
readie
to
giue
battel
to
Seleucus
,
and
tooke
from
him
the
most
part
of
Syria
,
wasting
and
spoyling
Ptol.
Euergetes
,
but
also
to
requite
him
with
the
like
.
After
this
litle
stay
,
Seleucus
came
with
a

of

yeeres
,
was
slaine
by
one
of
his
owne
noblemen
named
Nicanor
.
Then
followed
Antiochus
surnamed
the
great
,
the
6.
king
of
Syria
,
who
indeed
was
so
great
,
that
he
wanne
to
his
kingdome
more
then
any
of
his
predecessors
:
and
hauing
Ptolome
Philopater
,
by
him
for
all
his
greatnes
he
had
an
ouerthrow
or
two
.
But
this
Philopater
died
,
and
left
behind
him
a
young
sonne
,
whom
he
committed
for
the
safegard
of
his
kingdome
,
to
the
Romanes
,
commending
both
his
sonne
in
his
minoritie
,
&
his
kingdome
into
the
fidelity
of
the
Senators
:
for
all
kings
in
their
distresse
fled
vnto
the
Romanes
,
as
to
a
sanctuary
of
refuge
.
Now
Antiochus
the
great
in
his
minde
contemned
the
Romanes
,
Scipio
Affricanus
was
ouerthrowen
at
the
battel
of
Zama
,
which
was
the
last
ouerthrow
of
Hannibal
:
for
the
Carthagineans
had
lost
Sicilia
,
Sardania
,
&
Spaine
,
and
fled
to
Antioch
.
Hanibal
was
driuen
out
of
Italy
to
Affrike
,
and
from
Affrike
to
Asia
vnto
king
Antiochus
,
where
he
was
with
great
curtesie
receiued
.
By
this
time
the
Senate
had
intelligence
,
that
Nabis
the
tyrant
Titus
Flaminius
,
that
Greece
should
be
set
at
libertie
from
Nabis
,
as
Macedonia
was
from
Philip.
The
greatnes
of
the
Romanes
was
such
,
that
they
thought
to
execute
all
warres
by
their
commandement
:
yet
the
name
of
Hannibal
caried
great
reputation
with
all
men

Hanibal
hated
the
Romanes

and
therefore
he

how

and
perswaded

(
who
trusted

)
that

Romanes
had

the
most
part
of
Europe
and

not

Apollonius
fled
,
and
(
as
Plutarch
saith
)
we
find
that
Hanibal
did
nothing
worth

memory
.
After
this
battel
,
assoone
as
Antiochus
was
ouercome
by
the
Romans
,
Hanibal
fearing
he
should
be
deliuered
to
the
Romans
,
fled
to

king
of
Bythinia
,
at
whose
hands
he
was
required

After
this
great
victorie
,
Lucius

Scipio
returned
to

,
and
with
great
glory
triumphed
,
and
then
obtained
the
like
name
in
Asia
as
his
brother
had
before
in

was
,
to
be
called

dispearsed

was

vanquished

Of
the
thirde
and
last
Affricane
warres
betweene
the
Romanes
and
the
Carthagineans
,
which
endured
foure
yeres
:
of
the
ouerthrow
of
Carthage
and
Numantia
:
of
the
ruine
and
last
conquest
of
Affrica
by
the
Romanes
.
THe
state
of
Affrike
being
by
their
last
seconde
warre
weakened
,
and
almost
brought
to
nothing
by
the
Romanes
,
the
Affricanes
were
two
and
fiftie
yeeres
in
T.
Quintus
Flaminius
had
such
good
successe
,
that
peace
was
concluded
vpon
such
conditions
as
pleased
Flaminius
.
Then
had
they
warres
against
the
Lacedemonians
,
vanquished
them
and
their
generall
called
Nabides
:
submission
was
made
to
the
Romanes
,
and
peace
also
graunted
to
them
vpon
the
like
condition
,
as
was
graunted
to
Philippe
.
After
this
ensued
warres
in
Syria
against
Antiochus
the
great
,
whom
likewise
Cornelius
Scipio
,
sirnamed
Asiaticus
.
The
Romanes
beganne
to
bee
in
such
admiration
with
all
Asia
and
Europe
,
hauing
alreadie
subdued
all
Affrica
,
that
the
name
of
a
Romane
was
a
very
terrour
vnto
those
kings
that
were
furthest
off
.
The
Affricanes
,
while
the
Romanes
were
busie
in
Asia
,
they
beganne
to
quarrell
with
king
Masinissa
,
a
sure
and
a
constant
friende
to
the
Romanes
,
being
in
armes
in
person
against
the
Affricanes
,
during
the
time
of
all
the
second

The
Romanes
hearing

In

Scipio
Affricanus

The
Carthagineans
,
being

the
renowme
of

,
that

honour
of

Vpon
this

Scipio
commaunded
the
citie
to
be
rased
from
the
ground
,
During
which
time
,
Polibius
(
who
writeth
all
the
Affricane
historie
)
saith
,
that
Scipio
beholding
the
ruinous
state
of
Carthage
,
and
the
lamentable
destruction
of
the
people
,
recited
a
Latine
verse
weeping
,
Illa
dies
veniet
cum
fato
Troia
peribit
.
And
being
demaunded
why
he
wept
and
vsed
those
wordes
,
Hee
answered
,
I
weepe
for
that
I
thinke
others
shall
see
of
Rome
,
that
which
I
see
now
of
Carthage
:
for
that
shall
come
(
saide
Scipio
)
that
Rome
shall
likewise
perish
,
such
is
the
miserie
and
state
of
this
world
:
and
so
fell
it
to
Rome
in
the
time
When
Carthage
was
thus
destroyed
,
the
rest
of
the
Affricanes
yeelded
all
their
townes
,
which
were
in
the
beginning
of
the
warres

Also
they
yeelded

insomuch
that

that
Tyberius

was
slaine
in
such
seditious
quarrels
as
Tyberius
himselfe
began
:
the
cause
being
opened
to
Scipio
of

he
recited

for
that

saide
Tyberius
was
iustly
slaine
,
Scipio
was
found
the
next
morning
dead
in
his
bed
.
This
was
the
end
of
Scipio
Affricanus
the
yonger
,
he
to
be
killed
in
Rome
for
his
seruice
to
his
countrie
,
as
his
graundfather
Scipio
Affricanus
was
banished
out
of
Rome
,
to
die
in
other
countries
.
But
to
returne
to
ende
this
third
&
last
warres
of
the
Affricanes
with
the
Romanes
:
though
Carthage
and
Numantia
were
Iugurth
,
Adherbal
,
and
Hiempsal
:
all
these
were
friendes
to
the
Romanes
,
&
therefore
the
Senate
sent
Calphurnius
the
Consul
with
an
army
:
but
he
was
corrupted
with
money
by
king
Iugurth
,
gaue
him
and
concluded
such
a
peace
as
contented
not
the
Romanes
,
and
therefore
it
was
foorthwith
infringed
.
Then
Albinus
Posthumus
was
sent
the
next
yeere
,
who
likewise
had
no
good
successe
,
for
that
he
committed
the
battell
to
his
brothers
guiding
,
who
fought
against
the
Numidians
very
vnfortunately
.
The
Romanes
being
not
a
litle
offended
with
these
newes
,
sent
the
third
time
Quintus
Cecilius
Metellus
,
who
with
his
wisedome
,
sobrietie
,
and
courage
,
discomfited

Eutropius
saith
,
that
both
Metellus
and
Marius
had
triumphes
graunted
them
by
the
Senatours
ouer
Iugurth
.
After
Iugurth
we
reade
nothing

In
the
later
ende
of
this

,
there
were
fiue
triumphes

vanquished
the

and
the
two
other
triumphes

Metellus

had

And
thus
ended
the
third

continued

I
will
begin
the
historie
of
Rome
from

so

passe
vnto
Romulus
the

shall
finde
all

Many
fables
are
written
concerning
the
name
of
Rome
,
and
as
many
about
Romulus
birth
,
who
(
as
the
best

agree

put
Amulius
in
great
fright

the

After
whose
death
Romulus
layde
the

foundation
of

the
twentie
one
of

day
the

kept

they
kept
a
feast
day
which
the
olde
Thuscanes
kept
before
,
and
vpon
that
day
named
the
feast
of
Palilea
:
yet
some
write
,
that
the
foundation
of
Rome
was
laide
by
Romulus
the
thirtie
of
Aprill
,
But
when
he
had
builded
Rome
,
and
situated
the
Citie
vpon
foure
litle
hilles
,
to
them
three
other
litle
hilles

were
added

the

fell
vnto

after
hee
once
builded
Rome

hee
was
also
by
common
consent
of
all
made
king
,
which
Romulus
refused
before
hee
had
seene
some
mysterie
by

Romulus
was
very
expert
:

that
he
had

wil
briefely
returne
to

are
long

,
for
that
the

Romulus
(
to
discharge
his
vowe
made
to

made
his
triumph
ouer
these
nations
,
hanging
the
armour
&
weapons
of
king
Acron
about
the
bowe
of
a
yong
oke
,
which
Romulus
caried
on
his
right
shoulder
marching
on
foote
before
the
army
towards
the
citie
,
with
a
royal
song
of
victory
.

was
the

betrayed
the
whole

for
a
reward
,

Tatius
promised
:

say
that

of

the

After

after

of
his

he
made
these
many

First
he
deuided
the

,
and
hee
deuided
the

tribes
into

Then
he
elected
one

,
which
was
named
Praefectus

souldiours
called
Celeres
,
and
a
captaine
ouer
them
called
Tribunus
Celerum
,
these
were
Romulus

:
the
Tribune
was
as
Esquire

,
or
as
captaine
of
the

,
to
defend
him
from
any

as
Serieants

,
an
office
of

in

countreys
of

:
for
we
reade
in

When
Romulus
had
prouided
these
officers
for

he
likewise
erected
counsellers

and
made

who
for

for

The

the
fourth
king
of

.
the

king
,
one
in
nature
like
vnto
his

Numa

,
and
one
that
in
the
beginning
of

imitated
Numa
in
all
points
,
commanding
the
people
to
obserue
the

thinking
therby

this

to
forsake

liued
in

straight
he
was

with

the

:
these
people
euer

:
for

But

Latines
,

other

This

Ancus
Martius
had
no
rest
during
his
whole
gouernment
,
vntill
he
had
brought
these
people

vnto

:
then
he
began
to
build

to

&
there
vpon

ouer

After
this
,
the
king
builded
a
towne

vpon
the

called

6.
miles
from

,
&
made
a
bridge
ouer

he
also
builded
a
prison

to

,
&
diuers
other
monuments
,
which
you
may
read
in
Halicarnasaeus
:
when

had
raigned

yeres
he
died
,
leauing
Tarquinius
Priscus
the
fift
king
of
Rome
.
a
man
of
good
seruice
before
time
knowen
,
and
in
great
friendship
with
Anc.
Martius
,
was
by
consent
of
the
Senators
and
of
the
people
elected
the
5.
king
of
the
Romans
.
In
the
beginning
of
whose
raigne
Thales

Periander
,
and
Terpander
,
euen
then
the
17.
Iubilee
after
Moses
began
,
in
the
41.
Olympiad
.
But
first
I
must
set
downe
what
kings
raigned
in
other
countreis
,
before
I
speake
of
Tarquinius
Priscus
.
In
the
beginning
therefore
of
Ancus
Martius
raigne
,
raigned
king
of
Egypt
Necho
,
by
whom
Iosias
king
of
Iuda
was
then
slaine
,
and
in
Media
Ciaxeres
,
in
Daniel
called
Darius
Medus
.
This
time
raigned
in
Babylon
Nabuchodonosor
,
by
whom
Ioakim
king
of
Iuda
was
caried
captiue
vnto
Babylon
:
and
in
Lidia
raigned
Sadaites
their
seuenth
king
.
Then
the
Prophet
Ieremie
prophecied
the
70.
yeeres
of
captiuitie
to
the
Iewes
,
in
the
time
of
Ancus
Martius
,
after
whom
Tarquinius
Priscus
,
by
election
and
not
by
succession
became
the
fift
king
of
Rome
.
Of
whose
countrey
,
parentage
and
friends
,
and
how
he
came
to
be
king
of
Rome
,
reade
Halicarnassaeus
,
where
you
shal
finde
the
whole
historie
therof
.
Against
this
king
the
Latins
had
diuers
aydes
from
the
Hetruscans
,
specially
from
fiue
great
cities
inhabited
by
people
called
Clusini
,
Arretini
,
Volaterani
,
Rusellani
,
and
Vetulonenses
.
And
in
like
maner
as
before
to
Ancus
Martius
,
so
now
they
began
with
Tarquinius
Priscus
,
one
that
had
good
cause
to
knowe
them
,
for
that
he
had
tried
them
before
,
and
therefore
vsed
Anc.
Martius
.
them
as
his
predecessors
did
,
ouerthrew
them
,
and
subdued
them
,
so
that
their
cities
,
their
townes
,
and
their
countreys
were
made
euen
to
the
ground
.
By
this
king
were
the
Fidenats
,
the
Latins
,
and
the
rest
of
those
nations
about
Rome
subdued
and
destroyed
:
the
Hetruscans
which
kept
Tarquinius
in
warres
nine
yeeres
were
ouerthrowen
,
in
so
much
that
they
made
Tarquinius
prince
of
Hetruria
:
Tarquinius
Priscus
granted
them
their
owne
lawes
,
customes
,
and
liberties
in
all
points
as
they
had
before
.
After
this
,
he
gouerned
in
peace
,
after
he
had
triumphed
with
great
pompe
and
solemnitie
as
then
the
time
serued
.
He
went
dayly
most
sumptuous
inapparel
:
he
ware
a
crowne
of
gold
vpon
his
head
,
and
had
on
Togam
pretextā
,
with
a
scepter
of
Iuory
in
his
hand
,
which
was
then
strange
to
see
in
Rome
:
for
Romulus
had
his
scepter
Ancus
Martius
,
though
a
stranger
,
and
that
Ancus
had
4.
sonnes
to
succeed
him
.
The
Sabines
which
held
the
Romanes
play
for
5.
yeres
,
were
also
by
Tarquinius
ouerthrowen
.
In
these
warres
against
the
Sabines
,
Ser.
Tullius
was
made
general
:
this
for
his
good
seruice
generall
vnder
Priscus
.
and
wise
policie
,
afterward
succeeded
Tarquinius
in
the
kingdome
:
for
he
was
esteemed
of
the
people
,
&
in
much
fauour
with
Tarquinius
:
in
the
like
fauour
was
Tarquinius
before
with
Ancus
Martius
,
whose
seruice
seemed
such
,
that
he
was
elected
king
ouer
the
Romanes
,
though
he
was
a
stranger
.
Now
after
that
Tarquinius
had
subdued
al
townes
and
cities
about
Rome
,
and
had
made
the
confines
of
Rome
larger
then
before
:
yet
(
as
Eutropius
saith
)
all
the
warres
,
victories
and
triumphes
which
Romulus
,
T.
Hostilius
,
Anc.
Martius
,
and
this
Tarquinius
Priscus
,
these
5.
kings
had
ouer
many
people
,
extended
not
aboue
15.
miles
from
the
citie
of
Rome
,
so
hard
were
the
Romans
kept
in
warres
on
all
sides
,
&
applied
with
their
neighbours
,
and
so
long
were
they
augmenting
their
Empire
.
But
to
returne
to
Tarquinius
,
who
made

city
of
Rome

Valerius

:
but
Tarquinius
Priscus
by
common
consent
was
the
first
that

forth
triumphs
in
so
stately
and
magnificent
shew
,
and
hee
himselfe
the
first
that
triumphed
on
triumphant
chariot
,
and
that
three
seueral
times
,
ouer
the
Latines
,
Sabines
,
and
Hetruscanes
:
and
when
hee
had

yeeres
,
he
was
slaine
by
the
sonnes
of
Ancus
During
his
gouernment
,
raigned
in
other
countreys
these
kings
:
in
Lydia
,
Haliactes
their
8.
king
,
in
Macedonia
,
Europus
their
7.
king
,
in
Egypt
raigned
Apries
,
whom
Ieremy
calleth
Hophra
:
at
what
time
Ierusalem
was
destroied
by
Nabuchodonosor
,
and
the
Iewes
broght
captiue
vnto
Babylon
.
In
this

raigne
the
warres
grew
betwixt
the
Lydians
&
the
Medes
,
when
Astiages
raigned
king
ouer
the
Medes
.
This
time
florished
in
the
last
yeres
of
this
king
many
wise
men
,
as
Solon
in
Athens
,
Thales
in
Miletum
,
and
others
called
the
7.
sages
.
Likewise
about
the
last
yeeres
of
this
king
,
Nabuchodonosor
was
by
repentance
for
his
transgressions
against
the
Lord
,
restored
to
his
kingdome
againe
.
Now
after
this
,
the
6.
king
of
the
Romans
was
named
Seruius
Tullius
,
of
whom
you
heard
before
,
how
he
was

vnder

and

:
this

scoffed

to

It
is
written
that

did
at
that
time
send
to
Carthage
three
bushels
full
of
rings
and
iewels
.
Howbeit
Asdrubal
which
was
Hanibals
second
brother
,
had
not
the
like
lucke
in
Spaine
,
as
Hanibal
had
in
Italy
:
for
hee
lost
that
very
time
of
his
men
thirtie
and
fiue
thousand
,
by
the
two
Scipios
which
were
then
in
Spaine
captaines
of
the
Romanes
.
-
1.
In
Macedonia
,
Valerius
Liuius
against
Philip.
-

,

.
-

Pub.
Cor.
Scipio
in

against

.
-
4.
In
Italy
against
Hanibal
.
The
furie
of
Hanibal
continued
in
Italy
for
tenne
yeeres
,
so
that
all
Italy
stoode
in
dispaire
of
themselues
.
But
when
Fabius
Max.
was
sent
against
Hanibal
,
hee
by
detracting
of
time
and
delayes
hindered
the
violence
and
rage
of
Hanibal
,
and
Ensis
Romanus
,
and
likened
to
Hanibal
himselfe
:
for
Hanibal
himselfe
called
Romane
Hanibal
:
and
said
further
,
that
Marcellus
was
neither
quiet
being
conquerour
,
nor
conquered
.
But
while
this
violence
of
Hanibal
continued
in
Italy
,
in
the
tenth
yeere
after
that
hee
inuaded
Italy
,
after
many
victories
ouer
the
Romanes
,
hee
approched
within
foure
miles
of
Rome
,
and
his
horsemen
came
to
the
very
gates
of
the
citie
.
At
what
time
(
to
encrease
his
fame
)
his
brother
Asdrubal
slewe
Spaine
.
Hanibal
might
then
haue
easily
conquered
Rome
,
if
hee
had
set
forwarde
his
armie
(
for
so
Caesar
saide
afterward
)
but
hee
feared
the
Consuls
which
were
readie
to
come
out
of
Rome
to
giue
him
battell
.
And
not
without
good
cause
:
for
Hanibal
found
so
many
Scipios
,
so
many
Fabius
,
so
many
Marcellus
,
and
so
Mago
Hanibals
brother
,
and
sent
him
with
the
residue
of
the
prisoners
to
Rome
.
This
daunted
the
courage
of
Hanibal
,
and
augmented
the
glorie
of
Scipio
,
being
then
of
the
age
of
twentie
and
foure
yeeres
:
after
whose
going
into
Spaine
,
the
fortune
of
Hanibal
declined
in
Italy
:
for
Fabius
Maximus
recouered
Tarentum
,
recouered
by
Fabius
Max.
and
many
other
cities
which
had
yeelded
to
Hanibal
,
submitted
themselues
to
Fabius
.
Marcellus
had
also
recouered
Salopia
,
and
had
taken
Syracusa
,
and
many
other
cities
in
Campania
,
and
had
sundrie
times
scattered
Hanibal
and
his
armie
at
Canusium
:
for
either
of
these
two
Consuls
,
Fabius
and
Marcellus
,
had
bene
twise
Dictators
,
and
fiue
times
Consuls
.
In
Spaine
also
Pub.
Scipio
gaue
an
ouerthrowe
to
Asdrubal
at
Betula
,
and
slewe
eight
thousande
Affricanes
and
Spaniards
.
As
Hanibal
flourished
with
his
victories
in
Italy
,
so
Scipio
excelled
in
Spaine
,
and
had
victories
at
will
:
for
hee
discomfited
the
king
of
Spaine
,
and
atchieued
great
conquests
.
About
this
time
Hanibal
sent
for
his
brother
Asdrubal
to
come
from
Spaine
to
Italy
,
who

preuented

In

and
Asdrubals

and
was
throwen
before
the
tents
of

Hanibal
then
beganne
to
dispaire

the
successe
of

warre
:
for
both
in
Spaine
and
in

,
hee
was
by
this

:
in

and
had

warre

out
of
his
kingdome
.
This
great
ouerthrowe
in
Spaine
and
in
Affrike
,
caused
Hanibal
to
quake
:
for
in
Italy
hee
beganne
to
be
forsaken
of

former
fortune
,
and
in

But
before
these
two
great
captaines
should

Hanibal
desired
to
speake

openly

priuately
.
Scipio
denied

already
done

Mithridates
held
a

so
that

against

Iulius
Caesar
a
man
of
great
prowesse

of
a

was
such
,
that
it
seemed
from
the

that
hee
shoulde
growe

in

therefore
Pompey
looking
into
the
disposition
of

,
maried
his

ioyned
in

with
Caesar.

Reade
his
life
in
Plutarch
,
and
you
shall
finde
how
many
nations
,
and
howe
many
townes
Caesar
conquered
in
the
warres
with
the
Gaules
,
he
brought
welnigh
all
Fraunce
to
subiection
.
After
hee
warred
vpon
the
Illyrians
and
Heluetians
,
at
what
time
Cassius
Lopanus
raigned
king
:
and
soone
after
vpon
the
Sicambri
,
Tenterides
,
which
Caesar
subdued
.
These
conquests
of
Caesar
,
made
Pompey
much
to
feare
the
greatnesse
of
him
,
if
hee
should
once
come
to
be
a
Consul
in
Rome
,
and
therefore
Pompey
laboured
to
keepe
Caesar
still
occupied
in
Fraunce
,
in
Spaine
,
and
in
Germanie
,
the
onely
souldiers
of

The
ciuil
warres
being
thus
ended
betwixt
Pompey
and
Caesar
which
continued
fiue
yeeres
,
to
the
ouerthrow
almost
of
the
whole
Empire
,
and
Caesar
also
after
the
ciuill
warres
of
fiue
Caesar.
Antonius
sought
by
all
meanes
to
reuenge
Caesars
death
:
whereupon
grew
againe
ciuill
warres
betwixt
Octauius
and
Antonius
.
This
Octauius
was
Octauius
Augustus
and
M.
Antonius
.
sisters
sonne
to
Iulius
Caesar
,
and
he
had
adopted
him
to
be
his
heire
in
the
Empire
of
Rome
in
his
testament
.
This
was
called
by
the
Senate
to
withstand
the
furie
of
Marcus
Antonius
.
So
Pansa
and
Hircius
then
were
Consuls
,
ioyned
with
Octauius
,
as
both
Eutrop.
and
Melancthon
saith
.
These
3.
captaines
went
gainst
Antonius
,
and
gaue
him
the
ouetthrow
.
Antonius
fled
to
Lepidus
an
olde
friende
of
Caesars
,
and
had
at
that
time
great
bands
of
men
readie
:
they
ioyned
their
force
together
,
but
by
Octauius
,
Marcus
Antonius
,
and
Marcus
Lepidus
had
all
the
gouernment
of
the
citie
.
Octauius
this
time
caused
the
Romanes
to
create
him
Consul
,
In
this
battell
Cassius
was
slaine
,
and
in
the
next
battel
Brutus
was
slaine
,
and
an
infinite
nomber
of
nobilitie
:
for
during
Sextus
Pompeius
the
yonger
,
sonne
to
Pompeius
the
great
,
there
were
many
Senators
,
Consuls
,
noblemen
,
and
gentlemen
slaine
on
both
sides
.
Now
Lepidus
one
of
Trium
viri
died
in
Affrica
,
and
the
gouernment
fell
wholy
betweene
Octauius
Caesar
,
and
Marcus
Antonius
.
Antonius
had
from
Euphrates
vnto
the
sea
Illyricum
,
and
Caesar
Octauius
had
from
the
sea
Illyricum
to
the
West
Ocean
:
but
their
friendship
in
gouernment
continued
not
long
.
It
is
an
olde
saying
and
true
,
that
Principalitie
can
abide
no
equalitie
,
and
therefore
ciuill
dissention
fell
betweene
Octauius
and
Antonius
.
Before
they
fell
out
betwixt
themselues
,
they
slewe
and
murthered
without
lawe
whom
they
lusted
,
as
Cicero
,
Hortensius
,
Lucullus
,
with
an
infinite
nomber
of
Senators
,
of
Consuls
,
of
noblemen
and
gentlemen
,
which
died
in
the
warres
of
Brutus
and
Cassius
.
And
nowe
againe
newe
ciuill
warres
beganne
,
which
continued
twelue
yeeres
,
betwixt
Octauius
Caesar
,
and
Marcus
Antonius
:
but
in
the
ende
after
many
cruel
battels
and
much
slaughter
,
Octauius
got
the
victorie
,
at
what
time
Rome
was
so
weakened
by
these
ciuill
warres
,
that
if
then
Pyrrhus
,
Hanibal
,
or
Mithridates
had
liued
,
they
might
soone
haue
conquered
Rome
.
Now
when
Antonius
was
vanquished
by
Octauius
in
a
battell
at
Actium
a
towne
of
Epirus
,
hee
flead
to
Egypt
,
being
exempt
Cneus
Cornelius
Gallus
was
appointed
lieutenant
there
.
This
was
the
first
Romane
that
gouerned
Egypt
.
Octauius
Augustus
,
after
hee
had
vanquished
Antonius
,
and
had
gotten
the
whole
Empire
into
his
owne
hand
,
he
became
so
louing
to
the
people
,
so
gentle
to
the
Senators
,
and
so
liberall
to
the
souldiers
,
that
he
wanne
the
highest
and
lowest
with
great
loue
to
fauour
him
.
The
ciuil
warres
being
thus
ended
,
Augustus
became
Consul
Marcus
Antonius
:
the
thirde
ouer
Cleopatra
,
at
what
time
hee
was
saluted
by
the
name
of
Augustus
,
and
Pater

.
This
time

the

now

his
descent

by
the

from
Numa
Pompilius
,
and
by
his
mothers
side
from
king
Salentinus
.
This
Emperor
was
a
very
learned
man
,
and
he
raigned
ioyntly
with
Lucius
Antoninus
:
for
in
his
dayes
the
Romanes
began
to
haue
two
Emperours
of
equall
authoritie
,
to
gouerne
the
common
weale
.
These
two
were
(
as
Eutropius
saith
)
brethren
,
and
they
waged

against
the
Parthians

excelled
all
other
Emperours
in
all
kinde
of
knowledge
:
he
was
exceeding
liberall
,
as
at
his
warres
which
he
had
against
the
Marcomenes
,
where
the
Vandales
,
the
Sarmatians
,
and
al
Barbarie
were
ready
to
mainteine
warres
against

&
were

for

made
open

he
solde
all
his
apparell

and
solde
diuers
iewels
and
ornaments
of

he
solde
all
his
substance
,
to
auoyde

exactions
of

.
But
the
victorie
which
then
he
obtained
,
repayed
all
his
debtes
,
and
brought
againe
his
plate
,
his
iewels
,
and
all
other
his
substance
home
:
for
it
is
written
,
that
these
warres
continued
three
yeeres
,
and
were
the
most
terrible
warres
,
and
equall
to
the
warres
of

the

of

came
into

much
commendeth

Now
for
that
the
name
of
Antoninus
was
so
much
honored
of
the
Romans
,
it
was
decreed
that
none
should
be
so
named
,

by
consent
of
the
Senators

such
Consuls

raigned

Antoninus
became

Constantius

a
man
of
great
modestie

declared

refused
the

toile
of
warres
that
he
should
haue

and
contented

Seuerus
Caesar
was
sent
to
appease
the
commotion
which

had
made

where
he
was

then
Herculeus
seemed
as
though
he
woulde
depose
his
sonne
Maxentius
,
vnder
colour
of
cruel
pretence
,
thinking
to
goe
to

meaning
to
kill

accusing

who
had
espoused
his

Constantia

after

at

Maxentius

Constantine
the
great
hauing
intelligence
of
these
practises
betweene
the
father

the
sonne
,
presently
after
the
death
of
the
father
Maximianus
,
hee
commenced
warre
vpon
his

Maxentius
,
and
ouerthrewe
him
as

Constantinus
Crispus
his
sonne
to
haue
the
gouernment
in
Fraunce
,
his
other
two
sonnes
Constans
and
Constantius
had
the
rule
in
the
East
partes
:
his
three
sonnes
were
made
three
Caesars
,
and
him selfe
made
Augustus
.
His
great
fortune
was
such
,
that
Constantinus
was
surnamed
the
great
:
for
hee
was
compared
,
for
the
good
successe
hee
had
in
the
beginning
of
his
Empire
,
to
Cyrus
the
great
king
of
Persia
,
and
to
Alexander
the
great
king
of
Macedonia
,
and
in
like
sort
prospered
as
they
did
at
the
first
:
but
afterwarde
being
altered
from
his
wonted
gentle
and
flexible
minde
,
hee
persecuted
his
owne
blood
:
he
slue
his
owne
wife
Fausta
,
and
his
sisters
sonne
a
very
notable
young
Constantinus
was
endued
with
many
excellent
vertues
:
hee
was
of
such
passing
industry
in
wars
,
that
he
sundry
times
ouer
threw
the
Gotes
,
&
wan
great
praise
among
the
Barbarians
.
This
In
his
time
sundry
Synods
were
called
,
which

place

the
great
Synod
at
Nice
in
Bythinia
,

were
together
,
at
what
time

Byzantium
,
and
named
it
after
his
owne
name
,
Constantinople
:
and
he
reedified
in
Bythinia
a
towne
called
Drepana
,
&
named
it
after
his
mothers
name
Helenopolis
:
of
whom
Eusebius
doeth
write
,
that
Helena
the
mother
of
Constantine
found
the
crosse
Constantinus
,
Constans
,
and
Constantius
,
to
succeede
him
in
the
Empire
.
Hee
left
also
a
very
gallant
young
man
his
brothers
sonne
named
Dalinatius
,
which
was
slaine
in
an
vprore
which
fell
among
the
souldiers
in
Thracia

The
three
sonnes
of
Constantine
had
the
Empire
among
them
,
as
by
will
and
testament
Constantine
had
commaunded
:
but
the
elder
brother
not
long
after
his
fathers
death
,
attempted
warre
against
his
youngest
brother
at
Aquileia
,
slaine
in
Thracia
.
and
was
slaine
,
and
then
the
Empire
fell
betweene
the
two
other
brethren
Constantius
and
Constans
,
the
one
gouerning
in
the
East
,
the
other
in
the
West
.
In
the
same
sort
was
Constans
slaine
in
the
Castle
of

death

Constans

Aurelius
writes
otherwayes

Eutropius
saith
,
that
Iulianus
resembled
much
Marcus
Antonius
,
whom
this
Emperour
in
all
points
endeuoured
to
imitate
:
but
he
was
a
persecutour
of
the
Christians
.
Iouinianus
succeeded
next
Iulianus
,
being
chosen
by
consent
After
him
succeeded
Valentianus
the
sonne
of
Gratianus
,
a
meane
man
of
birth
,
in
whose
time
the
West
kingdomes
began
Iulius
Caesar.
Valentianus
After
them
succeeded
Theodosius
Iunior
,
in
whose
time
the
Gotes
&
the
Vandales
began
to
be
gouerned
vnder
kings
.
The
Theodosius
Iunior
.
This
time
began
the
Vandales
,
the
Huns
,
and
Longbards
their
kingdoms
.
Longobards
and
the
Hunnes
at
that
very
time
began
their
kingdoms
.
Many
other
kingdoms
began
this
time
,
as
Britaine
and
Scotland
:
and
diuers
nations
in
Germany
waxed
so
strong
&
so
mighty
,
that
by
often
quarreling
&
long
tedious
warres
,
the
Empire
was
not
only
diuided
,
but
quite
taken
into
the
West
partes
of
the
world
,
so
that
from
the
name
of
the
Emperour
of
Rome
,
he
was
long
named
the
emperor
of
Constantinople
,
and
after
that
named
the
Emperor
of

remaineth

affirmeth

yet
these

haue
subcribed

gouerned

Rome
quite
forsaken

After
this
Theodosius
no
mention
is
made
of
any
famous
exploits
or
conquests
done
by
the
Emperours
of
Rome
,
but
of
slaughter
and
murther
during
the
time
of
the
other
Emperours
,
which
was
not
long
:
for
that
the
Empire
was
translated
into
Germanie
.
And
it
was
gone
to
Constantinople
from
Rome
before
it
came
to
Germanie
.
Much
more
might
haue
bene
written
of
other
emperours
which
continued
in
Rome
,
tantum
nomine
,
for
the
dignitie
of
the
empire
,
and
the
glorie
of
the
olde
Romanes
was
quite
defaced
,
and
that
litle
soueraigntie
which
was
left
in
Rome
,
was
by
the
Pope
obscured
:
for
as
the
kings
of
Rome
within
243.

were
exiled
,
and
Rome
became
subiect
to
Consuls
,
so
likewise
Consuls
within
467.
yeeres
,
became
subiect
to
the
emperours
:
And
euen
so
the
glory
and
renowme
of
the
emperours
within
470.
yeeres
,
was
diminished
by
the
Popes
:
so
that
now
Rome
is
without
either
King
,
Consul
,
or
Emperour
,
but
only
a
Pope
,
and
the
pompe
of
the
Pope
beginneth
to
quaile
.
And
P.
Orosius
to
Babylon
,
whose
glorie
for
a
thousand
and
odde
yeeres
,
farre
excelled
al
the
kingdomes
of
the
world
:
and
euen
so
Rome
,
who
seemed
to
be
a
whole
worlde
of
it selfe
,
is
nowe
brought
to
nothing
,
and
so
the
beasts
that
Daniel
saw
in
a
vision
,
the
one
like
a
lion
,
which
betokened
the
Assyrians
:
the
second
like
a
beare
,
which
signified
the
Persians
:
the
third
like
a
leopard
,
which
signified
Persians
,
Assyrians
,
or
the
Macedonians
.
And
now
I
leaue
the
Romanes
,
and
speake
of
the
cruel
persecution
that
chiefly
raigned
euery
where
vnder
the
Romane
Emperours
after
our
Sauiour
Christ
died
,
vntill
Constantine
the
great
,
leauing
the
historie
of
Germanie
,
where
now
the
Empire
resteth
,
to
euery
mans
reading
:
for
that
it
beganne
of
late
time
,
and
also
for
that
the
most
part
is
therewith
acquainted
.
And
therefore
I
ende
this
historie
of
the
Romanes
in
this
place
,
with
Eutropius
,
with
S.
Aurelius
Victor
,
and

encreasing

notwithstanding
all
the
persecutions

slaughter
that
was
most
extreemely
vsed

This
caused
Traiane
the

somewhat
more
mildely
to
handle
them
,
commaunding
that
the
Christians
should
not
be
sought
for
to
be
persecuted
,
but
yet
being
founde
to
punish
them
:
for
at
this

flourished
many
godly
and

pillars
of
the

Ignatius

some
with

sworde

some
with

some
with

many
with
many

inuented

.
For
at

time
liued
many
of
perillous
nature
,
that
sought
to
please
euil
men
,
and
to
punish
good
men
.
The
Iewes

men
full

from
Simon
Magus

sowed
sedition
in
the
Church
,

opposed
themselues

in

were
all

In

&
at

conscience

Dyonysius
sayeth
that
diuers
times
came

to
see

persecutions
certeine
souldiers
,
who
seeing

And
beside
these
foure
,
an
olde
man
named
Theophilus
,
in
Vrbanus
,
Sidonius
,
and
Selerius
,
three
Martyrs
which
suffered
all
kind
of
torments
,
to
enioy
the
glorious
crowne
of
Martyrs
.
When
this
cruell
Emperour
Decius
died
,
Gallus
succeeded
him
both
in
life
and
in
persecution
,
about
what
time
Origen
also
died
.
This
time
in
Rome
,
Cornelius
was
the
twentieth
Bishop
:
in
Antiochia
,
Caesarea
,
Mezabantes
in
Ierusalem
,
Marinus
in
Tyrus
,
Heliodorus
in
Laodicea
,
in
Cappadocia
Firmilianus
,
Helenus
in
Tarsus
,
&
so
(
to
be
short
)
in
all
Syria
,
Arabia
,
Pontus
,
Bythinia
,
To
this
Bishop
Stephen
,
Ciprian
bishop
of
Carthage
wrote
concerning
those
that
were
heretikes
conuerted
,
that
by
baptisme
bishop
of
Carthage
.
they
were
first
to
be
receiued
into
the
Church
.
During
this
litle
quietnesse
and
stay
of
persecution
diuers
and
sundry
sectes
of
heresies
began
to
rise
in
many
places
:
as
Heresis
Nouatiana
,
&
Sabellaena
,
with
others
.
Cyprianus
bishop
of
Carthage
,
a
singular
deuoute
man
,
and
a
Martyr
of
the
Church
,
was
of
the
Carthagineans
and
the
Affricanes
honored
as
a
god
,
to
whom
they
erected
a
temple
in
memory
of
him
,
&
celebrated
a
solemne
feast
,
calling
often
on
the
name
of
Cyprian
,
which
temple
the
Vandales
in
the
time
of
their
king
Tuorichus
destroyed
.
Thus
much
Euagrius
in
his
histories
of
the
Church
wrote
of
Cyprian
,
who
also
dyed
a
most
constant
Martyr
of
Christ
Iesus
.
I
omitte
with
Dionysius
to
name
the
Martyrs
which
dyed
vnder
Valerianus
the
emperour
,
because
they
were
so
many
,
Lucius
Maximus
Demetrius
,
Faustinus
,
and
Aquila
suffered
in
Egypt
:
also
Eusebius
was
then
Deacon
,
Eusebius
,
Cheremon
,
Caius
,
and
diuers
other
,
who
from
place
to
place
,
to
auoide
that
terrible
persecution
which
reigned
vnder
the
Emperour
Valerianus
,
wandred
many
Countries
,
desertes
,
&
mountaines
.
And
as
for
the
Martyrs
of
Caesarea
,
specially
there
were
three
,
which
willingly
came
from
their
houses
in
the
Countrie
to
Caesarea
,
being
ashamed
and
sory
to
haue
seene
so
many
good
and
godly
Christians
contending
for
the
same
noble
crowne
of
Martyrs
,
Priscus
Malchus
,
and
Alexander
claimed
before
the
Iudge
the
rewarde
of
Christians
,
and
streight
they
were
deliuered
to
be
deuoured
of
beastes
,
from
whom
these
three
stoute
Christians
shrinked
not
.
I
will
not
omitte
the
historie
of
Marinus
a
knight
of
Caesarea
,
who
when
hee
obteyned
that
honour
by
iust
desertes
,
which
was
among
the
Romanes
a
rewarde
for
victorie
,
and
Christ
Iesus
:
Chuse
,
said
the
byshop
,
which
thou
wilt
:
whereby
he
was
admonished
to
stand
to
his
faith
most
stoutly
,
and
dyed
for
the
same
.
This
time
againe
another
sedicion
began
in
Alexandria
:
for
sooner
the
great
Ocean
could
be
emptied
from
water
,
then
Alexandria
purged
from
sedicion
.
Of
this
sedicion
,
Dionysius
wrote
to
Hierax
byshop
of
Egypt
,
and
also
a
terrible
sicknesse
Nowe
a
Synod
was
called
at
Rome
to
consult
of
the
heresie
of
Paulus
Samosatenus
,
who
denied
the
Diuinitie
and
Eternitie
Sauiour
Christ
:
for
at
that
time
Paulus
Samosatenus
succeeded
Demetrianus
in
Antiochia
,
and
for
that
he
thought
so
impiously
of
Christ
,
affirming
in
all
pointes
that
hee
was
but
a
man
,
a
Synod
also
was
called
at
Antiochia
,
where
diuers
learned
byshops
,
and
other
godly
preachers
came
together
:
amongst
whom
,
Firmilianis
byshop
of
Caesarea
in
Cappadocia
,
Gregorius
Nazianzenus
and
his
brother
Athenodorus
which
were
byshops
in
Pontus
,
Helenus
byshop
of
Tarsus
,
Hymeneus
This
time
began
one
other
heretike
called
Manes
to
sowe
the
seede
of
Satan
:
of
whom
sprang
those
heretikes
called
the
Manichees
:
and
as
persecution
seased
some
time

so
heresie
at
that
very
time
beganne
to

Ioseph
was
sold
into

,
and
the

of

,
and
of
diuers
others
who
forsooke
to
be
kings
,
being
not
contented
with
one
kingdome
,
became
tyrants
,
and
vsed
all
kinde
of
cruelty
,
deceites
,
and
treason
to
enlarge
their
dominions
.
When
this
tyrant
Gerion
died
in
Celtiberia
,
his
3.
sonnes
succeeded
after
him
called
Lomuini
:
they
builded
a
great
town
in
Celtiberia
,
&
named
it
after
their
names
,
Lomuinia
.
These
brethren
,
after
they
iointly
gouerned
the
Celtiberians
for
the
space
of
52.
yeeres
,
they
left
the

to
bee
gouerned
by
one
Hercules
Lybius
.
This
gouerned
the
Celtiberians
for
seuenteene
yeeres
,

builded
a
strong
towne
and
named
it
after
his
owne
name
Hispalis

In
his
time
the
kinges
of
Egypt
became
first
to
be
called
Pharaoes
,
a
name
giuen
to
them
of
dignitie
:
for
in
the
beginning
of
kingdoms
,
men
were
yet
simple
,
contented
with
one
Towne
,
for
diuers
cities
with
a
small
territorie
in
steede
of
a
great
kingdome
,
which
shortly
grew
to
that
pride
,
that
kings
would
not
be
contented
with
a
kingdome
,
neither
with
2.
or
3.
kingdomes
:
they
woulde
faine
get
the
whole
worlde
,
and
some
weepe
with
Alexander
,
because
there
were
no
more
but
one
world
to
winne
.
So
grew
the
intollerable
insolencie
of
princes
in
short
time
vpon
the
earth
,
that
they
would
be
called
gods
,
&
commanded
by
edicts
,
that
they
should
be
so
worshipped
:
as
Belus
among
Assyrians
,
Nabuchodonosor
among
the
Caldeans

Osiris
among
the
Egyptians

Alexander

From

were

first

Tubal
their
first
king
,
by
whome
they
were

:
at
the
seconde
change
,
they
were
called

of
Hiberus
their

the

,
they
were
called

was
called

the

is
called

in

nothing
was
done
woorth
the
writing
:
Forkinges
were
scant

knowen
,
no

therefore
I
thought
it
the
best
course
,
to
set
downe
the
names
of
the
first
Kinges
,
that
then
inhabited
in
Hispayne
:
for
all
this

,
and
of
long

,
no
warre

no

sauing

which
grewe

the
names
of

kings
,
from

vntill

I
will
briefly
runne
ouer
the
Historie
:
for
at
the
first
arriuall
ouer
of
these
Scythians
into
Germanie
,
they
inuaded
many
places
,
and
grewe
so
strong
in
so
many
places
,
that
they
possessed
many
Cities
,
Townes
,
and
Castles
,
that
for
the
space
of
foure
hundred
yeeres
and
more
(
during
which
time
Marcomirus
waxed
so
great
,
that
the
Romanes
had
much
a
doe
in
his
time
,
not
onely
to
keepe
those
holds
which
they
had
,
but
also
were
constrained
to
answere
these
fellowes
in
Italie
:
for
the
Sycambrians
were
so
fleshed
with
diuers
victories
which
they
had
ouer
the
Gauls
,
and
ouer
the
Germanes
,
The
Romanes
had
thought
to
see
the
hardinesse
&
strength
of
these
people
to
curbe
them
:
but
perceiuing
the
multitude
to
bee
such
as
terrified
all
Europe
,
and
doubting
that
they
should
haue
the
like
warres
with
the
Sicambrians
as
they
had
a
litle
before
that
time
with
the
Affricans
,
so

was
neuer
seene
before

Scipio
in

warres
of

.
But
to
benefite
a
common
weale
,
lawes
may
well
be
infringed
,
and
specially
when
necessitie
forceth
the
same
:
as
at
that
time
,
Marius
was
appoynted
against
these
stoute
and
strong
people
whom
the
Romanes
called
Cimbri
:
but
I
referre
you
to
Tritemius
,
who
onely
wrote
of
these
sixteene
kings
and
of
the
people
called
Sicambri
.
Likewise
reade
Plutarch
in
Marius
,
and
you
shall
knowe
what
strong
warres
,
what
sharpe
battels
,
and
with
what
inuincible
courage
they
fought
against
the
Romans
.
Caius
Marius
,
Catulus
Luctatius
,
and
other
Romane
captaines
can
well

of
the
hardinesse
of
this
nation
:

After
that
this
Marcomirus
had
expulsed
and
vanquished
the
people
that
dwelt
about
Rhene
,
and
had
committed
to
his
brother
Sunno
the
possession
of
that
countrey
,
hee
went
and
passed
ouer
the
riuer
of
Rhene
,
in
the
foure
and
twentieth
yeere
of
his
raigne
,
with
a
very
huge
armie
of
Sicambrians
and
Saxons
,
wasted
and
spoyled
with
sworde
and
fire
many
townes
and
countreys
in
the
West
Gallia
:
and
after
hee
had
made
a
great
slaughter
of
the
Gauls
,
he
entred
in
league
with
Britaines
,
and
returned
a
conqueror
to
see
how
the
Germanes
behaued
and
vsed
Sunno
,
where
he
died
after
he
had
reigned
eight
and
twentie
yeeres
.
This
Marcomirus
was
so
famous
,
&
had
done
such
worthie
feats
in
armes
,
that
then
his
people
after
his
death
were
called

onely
(
as
I
saide
before
)
to
note
the
antiquities

first
beginning
of

,
and
to
marke
the
errours
of
prophane
histories
in
many
things
,
dissenting
from
Moses
,
from
Daniel
,
and
from
the
Propheticall
writings

who
opened

they
coulde
not

neither

find
nothing
so
readie

and
in

of

.
And
surely
it
is
not
to
be
wondered
at
,
concerning
the
antiquities
of
time
,
euen
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
,
and
the
late

of

for
that
they
may
easily
be
corrected
by
any
late
writer
that
is
seene
in
the
Sacred
histories
(
and
yet
they
were
men
of
singular
authoritie

credite
in

of
their

)
who
by
conferring
Prophetical
histories
with
their
prophane
writings
,
men
find
nothing
more
then
fables
of

,
and
errors
in

For
no
doubt
as
Greeke
histories
Many
of
the
best
Romane
writers
seemed
to
be
ignorant
of
that
which
they
knew
,
and
yet
would
take
no
notice
thereof
:
they
woulde
not
haue

to
bee
builded
by
any
of

,
or
any

of
the

neither
would
they
allow
any

of
Italy
to
be
inhabited
with
the
Grecians
,

from

Cato
,
and
Fabius
Pictor
seeme
fully
to
prooue
,
and
they
stand
to
it
stoutly
:
notwithstanding
Grecians

So
Myrsilus

After

followeth

order

doeth
not

fully
warrant

also
concludeth

This
controuersie
riseth
betweene
the
Grecians

the
Romanes

about
the

the

for

they

not

such
is
their
credite
