the

contend
about

But
this
little

is
not
to

full
of

of

A
yeare
of

A
yeare
of
Iubile
among

was
a
yeare
of
liberty
,
free
from
all
bondage
and
seruice
,
a
yeare
full
of
ioyes
and
myrth

and
to
make
feasts
in
remembrance
of
God
his
goodnes
and
loue
towards
his
people
,
which
was
euery
fifty
yeare

Our
great
Iubile
in
England
was
iust
vpon
the
fifty
yeare
,
The
Iubile
in
great
Brittane
.
which
was
between
Edward
the
sixt
,
and
Iames
the
sixt
now
our
King
,
at
his
first
arriuall
vnto
England
.
No
greater
Iubile
could
be
in
Iudah
,
than
in
the
time
of
young
Iosias
,
who
purified
Hierusalem
and
all
his
Kingdomes
from
jmages
and
jdols
,
called
the
Mount
of

from

supersticious

brake
them

Neither
can
there
be
a
greater
Iubile
now
in

than
to
haue
such
a
godly

.
They
haue
also
their
Iubile
like
the
Egiptians
,
The
Iubile
of
Egipt
.
whose
Iubile
was
in
drowning
the
children
of
Israel
in
Nilus
,
like
the
Romanes
,
whose
Iubileis
were
to
persecute
the
Christians
with
fire
:
for
as
God
reuenged
the
Hebrewes
vpon
the
Egiptians
with
ten
such
plagues
that
were
neuer
heard
,
nor
read
the
like
;
The
Iubile
of
Rome
.
so
the
Romans
reuenged
the
Egiptians
vpon
the
Christians
with
tenne
such
terrible
persecutions
of
tenne
Tyrants
,
as
could
be
most
horribly
inuented
.
Great
controuersie
between
fire
and
water
.
Great
controuersie
was
euer
betweene
the
Egiptians
and
the
Romanes
about
fire
and
water
;
in
Egipt
they
are
most
merrie
,
when
the
whole
Land
of
Egipt
is
couered
ouer
with
the
water
of
Nilus
,
that
is
,
the
great
Iubile
in
Egipt
.
The
great
Iubile
in
Rome
,
is
of
such
fire
as
they
haue
in
Scythia
;
But
this
quarrell
betweene
Fire
and
Water
was
fully
ended
by
a
Persian
Priest
,
Heidfeld
:
de
diis
ca.
2.
and
an
Egiptian
Priest
,
about
their
countrey
Gods
.
The
Priest
of
Persia
sayd
,
that
his
God
would
deuoure
and
consume
all
other
Gods
.
The
Egiptian
Priest
denied
that
,
so
Ad
certamen
veniunt
:
The
one
came
with
fire
the
God
of
Persia
;
the
other
came
with
a
vessell
of
water
,
and
hanged
it
on
the
fire
,
and
boared
diuers
holes
through
the
Vessell
,
and
stopt
the
holes
with
waxe
:
the
Persian
Priest
expected
when
the
Fire
would
burne
the
Vessell
,
and
the
Egiptian
Priest
expected
when
the
waxe
would
melt
,
and
the
water
would
runne
out
and
quench
the
fire
;
thus
both
expecting
the
triall
of
their
Gods
,
the
waxe
melted
,
and
the
water
flusht
out
through
diuers
and
sundry
holes
,
and
so
presently
quenched
the
fire
,
so
that
the
iudgement
was
giuen
,
Vicit
Deus
Egiptius
:
but
if
it
had
been
a
Romane
Fire
,
neither
the
Riuer
Nilus
,
nor
the
Ocean
Sea
could
quench
it
.

But
what
these
Roman
Cabalists
would
bring
to
passe
,
by
their
number
of
fiue
I
know
not
,
as
they
make
much
of

of
the

Mary
,
answering

the
Angell

sent

And
againe
they
stand
much
more
vpon
the
number
of
the
words
which
were
but
fiue
,
then
vpon
him
which
was
Christ
Iesus
our

,
that
spake
these

that
Chrisippus
brought
the
first
rodde
to
whippe
children
in
schoole
,
trulie
it
might
seeme
so
,
for
he
makes
more
toyle
and
studie
about
Oracles
and
letters
,
then
the
great
Turke
did
to
subdue
Rhodes
:
these
childish
studies
are
not
fit
for
men
of

.
These
be
they
that
contend
with
Chrisippus
to
ouercome
their
owne
shaddows
,
for
there
is
not
a
letter
in

but
they
make

We
will

as

sayd

so
these

A
certaine
country
Coridon
a
young
youth
,
went
to
Athens
to
learne
Phylosophy
,
who
after
hee
came
home
,
with
great
welcome
to
his
friends
,
and
kinsmen
,
and
beeing
in
company
where
a
Graecian
was
,
his
friends
would
haue
him
to
speak
some
Greeke
to
the
Graecian
,
he
answered
he
would
,
and
tooke
a
cuppe
of
drinke
in
his

&
sayd
boldly
to
the
Graecian
,
Alpha
,
Beta
,
Gamma
,
whereat
the
Graecian
blusht
with
silence
;
then
his
countrimen
&
friends
took
this
youth
with
clapping
of
hands
for
the
victorie
.
Many
went
to
Athens
to

and
returned
to
their
country

;
many
went
with
the
prodigall
Sonne
to
trauile

see

,
but
such
should
not
be
receiued
into
Sparta
by

lest
they
were

A

for
this

,
between
the

and
the
Cuckoe
,
contending
which
of
them
had
the

voyce
,
they
put
their
contention

;
the
Cuckoe
would
haue
but
an
Asse
for
his
great
long
eares
,
to
bee

,
and
so
by
this

the

had
the
mastery

many

long
Asses

And
for
that
I
toucht
strifes
and
contentions
which
the
world
is
full
of
,
I
thought
good
for
mirth
sake
to
speake
of
some
merrie
strang
contention
,
not
such
contention
as
was
betweene
Cicero
the
Orator
,
and
Roscius
the
Tragedian
,
which
contended
,
whether
Cicero
could
excell
Roscius
in
coppie
and
variety
of
eloquence
or
Roscius
exceed
Cicero
in
motions
and
gestures
of
pronunciations

But
a
farre
greater
contention
was
between
three
brethren
,
grauia
fratrum
bella
,
soone
proued
between
Iacob
and
Esau
,
These
three
brethren
contended
about
their
Fathers
testament
,
whose
will
was
,
that
hee
that
prooued
himselfe
most
beneficiall
and
profitable
to
his
countrey
,
should
be
heire
to
his
Father
.
The
first
was
an
Orator
,
next
in
nature
and
proportion
of
studie
to
a
Lawyer
,
and
sayd
,
that
no
Common-wealth
could
stand
without
law
.
The
second
brother
was
a
Philosopher
next
to
Diuines
,

and
sayd
that
soules
were
more
precious
than
any
Common-wealth
,
and
therefore
sayd
that
he
was
the
heire
.
The
third
brother
was
a
Phisition
,
and
sayd
,
that
neither
common-wealth
,
nor
soules
,
vnlesse
they
had
found
&
holesome
bodies
to
liue
in
the
Common-wealth
,
and
to
enioy
cleere
soules
;
and
therefore
claymed
his
fathers
heritage
.
The
Iudges
made
a
demurre
in
law
,
in
iudgement
,
and
stayd
to
consider
of
so
difficult
a
Will
betweene
brethren
,
of
which
Augustine
saith
,
is
most
hard
to
iudge
of
.
Yet
Archidamus
king
of
the
Lacedemonians
,
being
made
an
Arbitrator
between
two
great
men
,
and
great
in
fauour
with
the
King
in
the
like
contention
;
doubting
that
hee
could
not
please
them
both
,
but
one
of
them
would
be
offended
,
brought
them
vnto
a
temple
,
and
lockt
the
dore
vpon
them
,
charging
them
not
to
come
out
of
the
temple
before
they
would
become
friends
.
Kings
may
commaund
,
but
judges
must
iudge
iustly
,
or
else
stay
the
matter
by
a
demurre
,
as
you
haue
heard
of
the
three
brethren
or
else
dismisse
the
matter
out
of
the
court
,
as
you
shall
heare
of
another
three
more
difficult
contention
.
A
man
made
his
Will
among
three
Sonnes
he
had
,
and
made
him
his
heire
that
prooued
most
vngratious
&
wicked
of
the
three
,
the
one
was
a
drunkard
,
the
other
an
Adulterer
,
the
third
a
Gamster
and
a
Dicer
.
The
Drunkard
would
haue
his
Fathers
heritage
,
because
he
was
a
beast
,
and
and
not
a
man
.
The
Adulterer
would
haue
his
fathers
heritage
,
for
that
he
was
both
man
and
beast
.
The
third
sonne
claymed
his
Fathers
patrimonie
by
swearing
,
and
by
blaspheming
:
saying
,
he
was
neither
man
nor
beast
,
but
a
Diuell
.
There
is
nothing
that
can
be
more
aptly
compared
to
men
,
than
trees
:
So
was
Nebuchadnezar
,
named
a
great
tree
:
so
Kings
and
Potentates

the
Cedars

the

man

Oliue

;
and
the
children
of
the
godly
like
Oliue

and
Christ
himselfe
to
the
Vine
:
and
it
is
also
written
,
that
Christ
died
vpon
a
crosse
made
of
three
kinds
of
trees
,
of
the
Pine-tree
,
the
Cypresse
tree
,
and
the
Cedar

;
in
these
trees
no

But
Abimelechs
tree
was
a
drie
gorse
and
a
low
shrub
,
he
delighted
in
such
trees
that
wold

for
Abimelech
was
that
gorse
that
destroyed
the
Sichemites
,
and
burned
Sichem
their
City

and
sowed

Themistocles
was
wont
to
compare
himselfe
to
a
Plantane
tree
,
to
whom
the
Athenians
ranne
at
any
storme
or
tempest
of
warres
,
to
shadow

defend
them

Persians

This
Plantane

was
called
Xerxes

for
his
broad
braunches

and
large

because
Xerxes
was
wont
with

to
vse

much
before

the'mperor
,
of

such
strange
things
that
the
King
of

had
,
that
all

had

,
a

that
fed
yearely
tenne
thousand
of

and
a
Citie
walled
about

.
Albertus
Duke
of
Saxonie
,
hearing
this
bragge
of
the
Spaniard
,
sayd
before
Maximilian
,
that
hee
had
in
one
of
his
Cities
three
greater
wonders
,
three
Monasteries
,
the
first
of
Friars
praedicators
whose
barnes
were
full
of
all
kind
of
Corne
and
had
no
ground
to
tillage
.
The
second
Monasterie
was
of
Franciscan
Friers
,
whose
Coffers
were
full
of
mony
,
without
any
reuenewes
comming
in
.
And
the
third
of
blacke
Muncks
,
who
had
multitudes
of
children
hauing
no
maried
wiues
,
this
is
not
strange
in
Spaine
,
in
Rome
,
or
in
any
other
countries
where
monasteries
be
.
Fauorinus
the
Philosopher
wondred
more
of
three
greater
wonders
,
than
the
Spaniard
did
of
his
Mountaine
,
of
his
bridge
,
and
of
his
citie
;
or
the
Germane
of
his
three
Monasteries
:
that
he
being
a
naturall
French
man
should
be
thought
a
Graecian
,
&
being
an

shuld
be
accounted

But
Augustine
brag'd
not
like
the
Spaniard
,
nor
like
Albertus
the
Germane
to
see
his
three
Monasteries
,
he
agreed
with
both
in
the
number
of
three
,
for
Augustine
wished
to
haue
seene
Paul
in
the
face
,
Christ
in
his
bodie
,
and
the
Citie
of
Rome
in
her
chiefe

wished

one

to

So
Saul

was

Iehu

These
kindes
of

are

So
was
the
election
of
God
,
of
his
Priests
,
of
his

of

But
as

howsoeuer

the
honor

were
such
,
that
after
Iehu

sitting

his

did
put
off
their
mantels

cloakes

to
make

a

like

for
a
king
to
sit
with

,
and
saying

that
the

being

are
lifted
vp

The
late
Emperours
of
Rome
being
elected
,
were
hoysed
vpon
mens
shoulders
,
and
carried
with
ioyes
and
triumphes
,
the
people
crying
out
,

They
vsed
no
other
ceremony
in
ancient
time
with
the
Kings
of
Fraunce
,
but
to
lift
the
new
elected
King
vpon
a
shield
to
bee
carried
about
the
campe

So
was
Clodoneus
the
first
christian
French
King
.
The
souldiors
of
Pharnaces
vpon
a
tumult
made
in
the
campe
,
Pharnaces
King
of

.
sodenly
they
put
a
Reed
into
Pharnaces
hand
for
a
scepter
,
and
proclaimed
him
King
of
Pontus
.
So
the
Iewes
put
a
Reed
into
our
Sauiours
hand
for
a
scepter
,
in
most
contemptuous
and
ridiculous
manner
,
and
kneeling
sayd
,
Aue

The

his

in

of
a

a

and
so
proclaimed
him

So
the

all

the

called
all

told
them
how
hee
was
warned
either
to
kill
them
,

else
ouerthrow

This
supersticious
King
yeilded
the

vnto
the

went
to

by
such
meanes
Priests
grew
in
as
much
credit
in

as
then
the

Many
such
Kings
were
either
so
cursed

else
driuen
out

the
manner

kindes
of
Scepters

Diadems

Kings
The
first
Kings
of
Rome

The

For

Scepters

Kings
,
and
crownes

The
Kinges
of
India

The
Kings

their
scepters

Ebony

for
it
was
not
lawfull
for
them
to
haue
any
other
scepter
,
but
of
Ebony
.
In
Egipt
though
they
excelled
,
all
other
Kingdomes
in
greatnesse
and
maiestie
of
Diadems

yet
the
Kings

diuers

as
Lions

Eagles

and
sometime
the
likenesse
of
a
golden
Apple

which
signified
for
his

the
whole

The

carried
before
them
great
Axes
for
their
Scepters

The
Kings

Many
Kings
had
vpon
the
top
of
their
Scepters
the
figure
of
a
Storke
,
to
signifie
Iustice
and
pietie
,
and
on
the
other
end
of
that
scepter
,
they
had
the
figure
of
Hippotamus
,
Kings
had
need
to
haue
their
Scepters
full
of
eyes
:
such
a
Scepter
had
ould
Osiris
with
the
likenesse
of
a
mans
eye
written
about
it

Oculus

For
those
Prince●
that
beare
the
Scepters
of
iustice
in
hand
,
must
not
haue
eyes
of
affections
in
their
heads

Neither
must
those
Iudges
that
sit
on
the
seat
of
Iustice
,
haue
long
reaching
hands
to
receiue
bribes
like
Molochs
Image

whose

were

as
though
the
Kingdome

for
the
Maiesty

,
the
Kings
of
Egipt
were
chiefly
set
out

by
the
regality
of
their

The
Romans

other
heathen

in

The
regall

such

The

seemed
most
strange
either
for
that

were
so
worne

The
Funerall

So
the

reserued
the
bodies
of
their
Kings
in
high
buildings
made
for
that
purpose
,
farre
from
the
ground
,
as
in
their
Pyramides
and
Laberinths
,
in
such
sort
that
the
sonnes
should
see
their
fathers
,
and
so
many
fathers
before

,
buried
in
such
sort
,
reserued

kept
with
odors

abstained
from
wine
or
any
other
meate
,
sauing
bread

of

the

,
his
fame
,
his
great
actions
and
marshall
exployts
were
rehearsed
,
publishing
his
whole

If
they
had
been
vicious
drunken
,
slothfull
,
or
had
not
done
iustice
,
or
done
any
great
crime
,
he
should
not
haue
that
honor
of

which

Kings
had
,
which
was
the
greatest
infamy
to
any
King

which

state
,
his
frends
and
his
neighbors
do
carry
all
his
beasts
and
kill
them
,
for
a
feast
to
solempnize
the
funerall
of
the
dead
.
As
the
Romans
and
Graecians
do
celebrate
a
feast
for
the
honor
of
the
Emperors
and
Princes
birth
,
which
feast
they
call
Hecatonbeon
.
The
Scythian
funerals
.
The
sonne
of
this
dead
Scythian
causeth
his
fathers
head
(
being
filled
with
all
sweet
odors
)
to
be
gilded
ouer
,
and
to
be
set
vp
as
a
monument
of
his
father
,
where
once
euery
yeare
vpon
the
very
day
that
his
father
dyed
,
he
keepeth
a
solempne
feast
,
where
his
friends
and
his
neighbors
do
yearely
at
this
feast
offer
sacrifice
with
ceremonies
,
and
drinke
out
of
this
gilded
head
;
where
not
only
his
fathers
skull
,
but
his
Graundfathers
,
and
diuerse
of
his
Graund-fathers
predecessors
,
(
as
Boles
and
Cupps
on
the
table
at
funerall
feasts
,
)
were
made
of
so
many
great
fore-graundfathers
skulls
:
for
they
abhorred
the
rites
and
sacrifices
of
any
countryes
besides
their
owne
.
So
did
the
people
called
Sordisci
in
all
poynts
imitate
the
Scythians
in
their
funerals
,
in
the
selfe
same
ceremonies
before
recited
.
