THe
whole
BIBLE
is
a
Booke
of
the
Battels
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
whole
life
of
a
man
a
militarie
marching
to
these
Battells
betweene
the
seede
of
the
woman
,
&
the
Serpent
,
which
Battel
was
first
fought
in
heauen
betweene
Michael
and
his
Angels
,
and
the
Dragon
and
his
angels
,
at
what
time
Satan
was
ouerthrowne
and
cast
out
of
heauen
with
all
his
angels
with
him
.
The
second
Battell
was
in
Paradise
,
fought
betweene
the
seede
of
the
woman
,
and
the
seede
of
the
Serpent
,
where
likewise
Sathan
was
ouerthrowne
,
for
then
it
was
promised
that
the
seede
of
the
woman
should
tread
downe
the
Serpents
head
,
thereby
perpetuall
warre
was
publikely
proclaimed
in
Paradise
,
to
continue
betweene
the
seed
of
the
woman
and
Sathan
,
and
therefore
are
the
battels
of
the
Lord
innumerable
,
in
respect
of
number
,
for
that
euery
liuing
man
must
fight
in
this
battell
in
his
owne
person
for
his
owne
life
,
and
inuincible
in
respect
of
power
and
force
:
for
all
battels
and
victories
are
of
the
Lord
,
yea
euen
amongst
Infidels
and
Pagans
.
Which
if
the
Hebrewes
had
so
acknowledged
it
,
and
had
marched
truly
and
faithfully
in
the
Lords
battels
,
they
should
haue
acknowledged
this
to
haue
bin
their
true
Oracle
,
that
all
victories
come
from
the
Lord
,
and
not
from
the
arme
of
man
.
Then
the
Hebrewes
might
haue
known
,
that
Egipt
where
they
had
bene
bondmen
and
slaues
430.
yeares
,
was
giuen
to
them
for
a
pray
from
the
Lord
,
by
the
hands
of
Moises
and
Aron
,
and
after
Egipt
,
the
Canaanites
,
Edomites
,
Moabites
,
Ammonites
,
Philistines
,
and
diuers
other
nations
were
also
giuen
into
their
hands
,
they
might
haue
acknowledged
that
the
ouerthrow
of
39.
Kings
was
no
small
bootie
to
such
simple
men
,
But
they
forgot
the
great
armies
and
legions
of
Frogges
,
Flies
,
Grashoppers
,
and
such
armies
which
the
Lord
prouided
to
fight
for
them
,
while
yet
they
were
bondmen
in
Egipt
,
where
they
had
ten
victories
,
and
ten
tryumphs
,
some
in
the
midst
of
the
land
of
Egipt
,
some
in
the
midst
of
the
Court
of
Pharao
;
and
some
in
the
midst
of
the
red
sea
,
to
the
wonder
,
and
terrour
of
the
whole
world
.
The
Hebrues
might
likewise
haue
knowne
,
that
the
Chaldeans
were
giuen
to
the
hands
of
the
Assyrians
:
the
Assyrians
to
the
Persians
,
the
Persians
to
the
Macedonians
,
the
Macedonians
to
the
Romanes
.
Yet
all
these
miraculous
victories
,
which
the
Lorde
gaue
the
Hebrewes
ouer
so
many
Kings
and
Countries
,
could
not
make
them
to
acknowledge
the
author
thereof
,
but
what
victories
soeuer
the
good
kings
of
Iudah
got
by
seruing
of
the
Lord
,
that
the
euil
&
wicked
Kings
both
of
Iuda
&
Israel
lost
by
their
Idolatry
and
contempt
of
the
Lord
,
vntill
they
themselues
were
rooted
out
of
their
Countrey
,
slain
and
ouerthrowne
,
and
their
Kings
taken
&
carried
captiues
,
the
one
by
Salmanasser
to
the
Assirians
,
the
other
by
Nabuchodonozer
into
Babilon
,
of
whom
you
shall
reade
more
,
of
them
and
of
their
warres
hereafter
.
And
now
I
thinke
it
most
conuenient
to
speake
somewhat
of
diuers
seuerall
combats
,
which
is
the
Ioshua
,
Dauid
,
and
others
of
his
owne
seruants
,
but
also
Nabuchodonozer
and
Cyrus
.
In
these
kinde
of
battels
or
combats
,
euery
man
must
be
armed
with
such
spirituall
weapons
,
as
is
by
Paul
the
Apostle
appointed
,
to
resist
the
violence
of
so
great
an
enemy
,
who
doth
not
only
assault
vs
abroad
,
but
in
our
chambers
,
yea
in
our
beds
,
we
must
therefore
wrestle
with
this
enemy
as
Iacob
wrestled
with
the
Angell
,
for
the
which
he
was
named
Israel
:
as
Iob
wrestled
with
Sathan
,
for
the
which
the
Lord
called
him
his
seruant
Iob
:
Or
as
Dauid
did
with
the
Gyant
Goliah
,
for
the
which
he
was
annointed
King
of
Israel
.
In
these
kinde
of
combats
the
Prophets
&
Martyrs
of
the
Lorde
win
many
victories
of
Sathan
and
his
souldiers
,
as
Esay
that
was
sawed
in
peeces
by
Manasses
in
Ierusalem
,
Ieremy
that
was
stoned
to
death
at
Taphnis
in
Egipt
by
the
people
:
Ezechiel
whose
brains
were
beaten
out
in
Babilon
,
and
infinite
numbers
of
the
Martyrs
of
the
Lord
,
which
fought
in
these
battels
of
the
Lord
with
legions
of
diuels
,
and
armies
of
spirits
,
and
got
glorious
victories
,
and
were
crowned
not
with
the
Oliue
of
Olimpia
,
nor
with
the
Lawrell
of
the
Romanes
,
but
with
Crownes
and
Garlandes
made
of
the
tree
of
knowledge
,
and
of
the
tree
of
life
,
crownes
of
immortalitie
,
and
garlands
of
eternitie
.
These
might
say
with
Paul
,
We
haue
runne
a
good
race
,
and
fought
good
combattes
,
farre
greater
combattes
then
Romulus
had
with
Acron
,
and
yet
it
was
for
two
kingdoms
:
greater
then
the
combat
that
Artaxerxes
had
with
his
brother
Cyrus
for
the
great
kingdome
and
Empire
of
Persia
,
or
the
combattes
betweene
Hector
and
Aiax
,
where
many
Kings
and
kingdomes
were
ouerthrowne
:
but
the
only
combat
which
makes
euery
souldier
stout
and
valiant
,
was
by
the
seede
of
the
woman
who
rescued
Adam
from
the
bondes
of
Sathan
,
and
Vnder
this
strong
armed
Captaine
,
all
men
must
march
armed
to
fight
the
Lordes
battaile
,
as
Elias
did
,
who
marched
himselfe
against
450.
false
Prophets
of
Baal
,
in
combat
of
life
&
death
,
whom
hee
ouercame
and
slue
for
theyr
Idolatry
,
at
the
brooke
Kyson
.
In
like
sort
marched
Elizeus
and
led
the
whole
Army
of
Benhadad
from
Dothan
to
Samaria
blinde
Egipt
,
Daniel
in
Babilon
,
Iob
in
the
land
of
Huz
,
and
many
such
,
were
crowned
victors
,
and
triumphed
ouer
Sathan
,
for
none
shall
bee
crowned
saith
Bernard
,
but
hee
that
obtaineth
victorie
,
none
obtaineth
victory
but
he
that
fighteth
,
no
man
fighteth
but
with
him
that
is
his
is
enemie
:
so
the
Lord
reserued
as
he
said
to
Elias
,
7000.
in
Israel
,
that
neuer
bowed
,
nor
bended
knee
to
Baal
,
for
the
Lord
hath
marked
his
people
in
all
Countreys
with
the
letter
Tau
in
their
foreheads
.
So
hee
marked
the
Hebrewes
in
the
land
of
Gosen
,
to
be
saued
from
the
plagues
in
Egipt
,
the
Angell
also
was
commaunded
of
the
Lord
to
marke
the
doore
postes
of
the
houses
in
Egipt
with
the
sprinkling
of
the
bloud
of
a
lambe
,
as
a
mark
to
spare
his
people
.
So
the
Lord
commaunded
his
Angels
to
goe
The
Lord
also
charged
those
Angels
that
had
power
to
hurt
the
earth
and
the
sea
,
not
to
hurt
the
earth
vntill
the
seruants
of
the
Lord
were
sealed
and
marked
in
their
foreheads
.
Paul
as
himself
said
,
bare
the
markes
of
the
Lord
There
is
a
Nation
in
the
East
Countrey
,
dwelling
The
wicked
also
haue
their
inward
and
outward
markes
:
Cain
had
his
marke
,
not
outwardly
seene
by
men
,
but
inwardly
so
felt
of
Cain
,
that
hee
Esau
had
also
his
marke
,
and
such
a
marke
,
that
all
the
Edomites
that
came
of
him
had
also
Esaus
mark
,
So
had
the
false
Prophets
their
markes
,
as
the
messengers
of
Sathan
,
to
speake
lies
to
the
people
:
and
so
Heretiques
had
their
marks
,
for
blaspheming
the
name
of
the
Lord
,
denying
one
article
or
other
of
our
faith
.
I
leaue
these
inward
marks
to
such
as
be
marked
in
conscience
with
hot
Irons
,
&
come
to
the
external
marke
of
the
Romans
,
who
marked
men
condemned
to
die
,
with
two
letters
,
Cappa
&
Thita
,
as
marks
of
death
:
and
those
that
should
be
saued
with
T.
and
a.
Frontes
literati
,
Pedes
annulati
,
&c.
So
that
among
diuers
nations
they
were
marked
on
the
breast
,
foreheads
,
hands
,
and
armes
.

Syracusans

CHAP.
II.
Of
the
Battell
at
Siddim
,
where
foure
kings
were
ouerthrowne
by
Abraham
,
and
Lot
rescued
.
IN
this
Battell
met
nine
Kings
togither
to
ioine
battel
,
foure
against
fiue
,
the
king
of
Shinaer
,
the
king
of
Ellasar
,
the
king
of
Elam
,
and
the
king
of
the
nations
,
against
the
fiue
kings
of
Pentapolis
:
In
this
battell
were
Rephaims
,
Emims
and
Horims
,
Gyants
,
which
liued
of
theft
and
robbery
in
mount
Seir
,
and
in
other
places
:
yet
in
this
battell
the
fiue
kings
of
Pentapolis
,
were
ouerthrowne
by
the
foure
kings
and
fled
,
and
Lot
the
Nephew
of
Abraham
,
was
taken
prisoner
in
this
battell
by
the
Assirian
kings
,
besides
they
tooke
all
the
wealth
and
substance
of
these
fiue
kinges
for
a
spoyle
to
the
souldiers
,
they
were
such
kings
at
that
time
,
as
had
the
whole
Empire
of
Asia
betweene
them
foure
.
Abraham
hearing
this
hard
news
of
the
ouerthrow
of
these
kings
his
neighbors
,
&
of
Lot
his
nephew
,
vsed
this
stratagem
,
made
strait
after
them
in
the
night
time
with
his
onely
houshold
seruants
,
which
were
three
hundred
and
eighteene
,
came
suddainly
,
and
set
vpon
them
,
fought
with
them
,
ouerthrew
them
,
and
chased
them
to
Dan
,
where
Abraham
gaue
them
another
battell
,
recouered
Lot
,
the
men
,
the
women
captiues
,
and
all
the
wealth
of
the
fiue
Cities
called
Pentapolis
,
and
deliuered
all
the
wealth
to
the
kings
of
Zodom
and
Gomorrah
,
the
owners
therof
,
and
kept
no
part
to
him
nor
to
his
souldiers
.
This
was
a
battell
of
the
Lord
,
that
Abraham
being
but
a
priuate
man
with
his
houshold
seruants
ouerthrew
foure
of
the
greatest
kings
of
Asia
,
for
in
these
battels
of
the
Lord
numbers
are
not
respected
.
As
Gedeon
marched
with
three
hundred
Souldiers
,
So
Dauid
with
foure
hundred
souldiers
marched
after
the
Amalekites
after
they
had
burned
Ziclags
,
So
Abraham
rescued
Lot
his
Nephewe
,
at
the
battel
of
Siddim
,
where
Melchisedech
king
of
Salem
,
for
the
victory
therof
met
Abraham
,
&
entertained
him
&
his
soldiers
with
great
liberalitie
,
&
Melchisedech
offered
gifts
vnto
Abraham
,
and
sacrifice
vnto
the
Lord
,
with
thanks
for
the
victorie
,
and
Abraham
gaue
Melchisedech
And
at
that
time
Abraham
staied
the
Angels
,
as
they
went
to
destroy
Sodom
,
vnder
the
oake
of
Mambre
,
Mambre
Isaac
was
promised
to
Abraham
,
for
so
the
Lorde
named
him
at
that
time
,
Sarah
his
mother
being
90.
yeares
old
.
So
Samuel
was
borne
of
Anna
his
mother
,
so
Iacob
,
and
so
Ioseph
his
sonne
were
borne
of
barren
women
,
as
Isaac
was
,
foure
also
were
named
before
they
were
borne
,
Ismael
the
sonne
of
Abraham
by
Agar
,
Isaac
,
Solomon
,
and
Iosias
.
Now
againe
to
Abraham
,
after
Lot
was
rescued
by
him
,
Lot
dwelt
againe
in
Zodom
,
among
reprobates
Zodom
Lot
saued
himself
,
but
in
Zoar
Lot
was
ouerthrowne
:
Abraham
could
rescue
Lot
at
the
battell
at
Dan
from

kings
,
the
Angels
could
saue
Lot
from
the
fire
&
brimstone
in
Zodom
,
yet
could
not
Lot
saue
himself
from
drunkennesse
in
Zoar
,
so
fowle
a
fact
by
so
iust
a
man
may
not
be
much
spoken
off
.
Hence
grew
the
first
beginning
of
the
Moabites
and
Ammonites
,
enemies
vnto
God
,
so
much
may
be
spoken
of
Ismael
Abrahams
sonne
,
by
Agar
,
who
Before
the
battell
at
Siddim
,
no
battels
in
a
manner

bene
fought
,
but
what
was
by
Nimrod
don
,
who
liued
within
a
hundred
&
thirtie
yeares
of
the
flood
,
at
what
time
people
liued
,
not
knowing
the
name
of
a
king
,
vntill
Nimrod
grew
so
mightie
and
so
great
,
that
hee
brought
the
people
vnder
subiection
,
in
such
feare
and
awe
of
him
,
that
they
rather
worshipped
him
as
a
God
,
then
obeyed
him
as
a
king
,
whereof
Nimrod
waxed
so
proud
,
that
it
grew
to
a
prouerbe
,
that
if
any
Monarke
or
King
should
waxe
too
insolent
or
proud
,
he
should
be
noted
&
named
hic
alter
Nimrod
,
for
now
Nimrod
hauing
obtained
the
Monarchy
into
his
hands
without
resistance
,
he
called
the

The
third
persecution
vnder
Traiane
in
Rome
,
in
all
points
is
to
be
likened
to
the
third
plague
vnder
Pharao
For
if
the
Egiptians
had
obserued
how
the
Hebrews
in
the
land
of
Gosen
,
had
neuer
heard
,
or
seene
,
or
felt
any
plague
,
being
in
one
Countrey
,
and
at
one
time
,
nor
so
much
as
a
dogge
among
the
Hebrewes
miscarried
,
or
if
the
Romanes
had
but
considered
the
workes
of
the
Lord
,
how
hee
encreased
the
Christians
to
surmount
the
slaughters
of
the
persecutions
,
and
strengthened
the
Christians
to
conquer
the
crueltie
of
these
Tyrants
,
that
as
the
Hebrews
multiplied
in
Egipt
to
the
ouerthrow
of
Egipt
,
in
spite
of
Pharaos
killing
&
drowning
:
so
the
Christians
multiplyed
in
all
the
Romane
Empire
,
for
all
theyr
slaughter
and
destroying
of
the
Christians
.
But
no
amendment
appeared
in
Pharao
by
the
three
former
plagues
,
then
marcheth
Moses
forward
with
his
fourth
Army
,
commaunding
with
one
message
still
;
thus
saith
the
Lorde
,
Let
my
people
goe
,
Notwithstanding
he
kept
no
promise
,
but
still
hardened
his
heart
,
and
prouoked
the
Lord
to
plague
him
,
his
court
,
and
his
kingdome
.
It
seemed
the
Egiptians
hated
the
Hebrewes
mortally
,
being
thus
persecuted
with
such
horrible
plagues
,
that
they
still
yeelded
,
but
neuer
repented
.
But
no
plague
,
no
calamitie
,
could
moue
Pharao
to
yeeld
obedience
to
the
lord
,
neither
acknowledge
his
name
,
but
still
saying
Nescio
dominum
,
but
by
meanes
made
to
Moses
to
remooue
these
plagues
from
him
,
yeelding
euer
the
victory
to
Moses
,
but
neuer
yeelding
his
heart
to
the
Lord
.
In
Rome
,
in
Antioch
,
in
Alexandria
,
in
Caesaria
,
and
euery
where
else
where
the
Romanes
had
any
gouernment
,
the
Iewes
were
giuen
to
be
deuoured
of
wild

fierce
beasts
,
as

,
and
to
I
may
not
forget
Pharao
in
Egipt
,
for
his
well
deserued
plagues
,
the
violence
whereof
he
could
not
resist
,
nor
defend
himselfe
from
these
armies
in
his
priuy
chamber
.
For
that
it
was
the

threw
into

a

,
to

and
so
all
blasphemers

confesse

that
the

is
God
,
when
they
are
punished
and
plagued
,
and
cannot
resist
it
,
and
yet
Pharao
in

would
not
confesse

worse

This

oxen
,
camels
,
and
sheepe
,
and
all
their

were
slaine
with
a

great
morraine
,
so
the
Romane
generals
,
their
collonels
,
captaines
,
and
all
kind
of
souldiers
were
slain
,
as
wel
in

as
euery

the

the

Yet
Cheremon
named

one
contrary

,
and
both
contrary
to
the

,
and
as
Iosephus
saith
,
both
Manetho

affirmed
,
that
what
Moses
had
done
concerning
the
myracles
in

to
be
done
by
Magicke
.
So
Pliny
held
the

opinion
,
that

being
well
learned

throughly
instructed
in

:
It

no

no

I
will
set

the
true
History
of

written
by
Iosephus
,
a
graue
&
a
learned

,
and
a
gouernour
of
all
the
countrey
of

,

to

Egiptian
Schoolmaister
in

.
Who
after
their
Antiochus
Epiphanis
,
when
he
sacked
Ierusalem
&
spoyled
the
temple
.
We
wil
passe
ouer
these
false
Egiptians
writers
,
&
come
to
Moses
.
This
sixt
plague
is
likened
to
the
sixt
persecution
vnder
Smyrna
,
Ignatius
;
and
such
he
spared
no
degrees
within
the
Romain
prouinces
:
but
as
the
Egiptians
were
plagued
with
soares
,
botches
,
blaines
and
biles
,
so
hee
vexed
the
Christians
with
sword
,
fire
,
and
extreame
tortures
.
And
as
nothing
could
moue
Pharao
in
Egipt
to
acknowledge
the
Lorde
to
be
God
;
so
nothing
could
moue
this
tyger
Maximinus
,
to
acknowledge
Christ
to
be
the
Lord
,
but
without
mercy
and
compassion
persecuted
&
afflicted
the
Christians
.
Thus
not
only
the
Emperors
of
Rome
tyrannized
against
Christians
,
but
also
the
kings
of
Syria
,
little
inferiour
to
the
Romans
in
tyrannie
,
against
whom
the
Lord
did
not
only
stirre
men
,
but
women
&
children
to
contemne
their
threatnings
,
and
to
despise
their
crueltie
,
as
Antiochus
king
of
Syria
commanded
caudrons
&
brazen
pots
to
be
heated
,
straitly
charging
that
he
that
spake
but
a
word
with
Moses
law
,
should
haue
his
tongue
cut
out
:
this
could
not
terrifie
a
woman
with
her
seuen
sonnes
,
who
one
after
another
,
denied
the
eating
&
sacrificing
of
swines
flesh
,
the
defiling
of
their
temple
with
Images
,
refusing
to
forsake
the
lawes
of
Moses
,
and
in
this
to
liue
and
die
.
The
king
straight
commanded
that
the
tongue
of
the
eldest
brother
should
be

to

Moses
was
sent
with
his
seuenth
message
to
Pharao
,
saying
;
How
long

it
be

Pharao
though
he
yeelded
victorie
to
Moses

could
not

yeeld
his
heart
vnto
the
Lord
,
but
refused
the
offers
of
the
Lord

Moses
was
commaunded
to
vex
Pharao
with

The
Hebrues
were
also
commanded
when
they
went
to
any
battell

that
the
Priest
should
stand
before

being
called
together
with

to

valiantly
the

of
the
Lorde
,
assuring
them
that
the
Lorde
would
be
their
Captaine
,
and
goe

So
the
Lord
said
to
Ioshua
,
that
he
would
goe
before
him
and
his

to

So
the
Lord
with
the
like
words
spake
to

,
when
he
went

And
euen
so
he
spake
to
Cyrus
,
when
he
went
against
Babilon
,
All
battels
&
victories
are
mine
saith
the
Lord
.
As
the
Lord
promised
,
not
only
to
Moses
,
to
Ioshua
,
and
to
others
,
but
also
to
Nabuchodonozer
&
Cyrus
,
Heathen
Princes
to
goe
before
them
in
his
own
battels
,
and
therefore
the
Heathen
kings
made
their
souldiers
beleeue
,
that
the
Gods
taught
them
stratagems
to
ouercome
their
enemies
.
Archidamus
vsed
a
stratagem
against
the
Arcadians
,
commaunded
secretly
in
the
night
time
,
certaine
horses
to
goe
round
about
his
campe
,
and
in
the
morning
hee
shewed
his
souldiers
,
the
steps
of
the
horses
,
saying
that
it
was
Castor
&
Pollux
,
that
would
be
readie
in
the
next
battell
to
take
their
parts
,
and
to
fight
with
them
against
the
Arcadians
.
So
did
Epaminandas
,
he
caused
the
armor
which
did
hang
in

,
and
were
dedicated
to
their
Gods
,
Pericles

for

vsed

all

,
where
both
the
armies
might
behold
him
,
vntill
the
signe
of
the

were
giuen
,
then
he
called
to
Pericles
,
and
willed
him
to
goe
forwards
,
and
said
,
that
the
gods
of
Athens
were
at
hand
,
by
this
stratagem
Pericles
got
a
great
victory
,
for
the
enemies
fled
before
the
battell
began
.
The
Gentiles
&
the
Heathens
beleeued
&
confessed
that
all
victories
&
good
successe
,
came
to
them
by
seruing
of
their
gods
,
and
all
their
ouerthrowes

fell
vpon
them
by
offending
their

,
so
much
stood
the

in
awe
and
feare
of
their
gods
.
And
like
as
Ioshua

to

to

did
please
their

for

So
among

in
all
ages
,
they
were
very
carefull
to
haue
and
to
choose
wise
,
stout
,
and
skilfull
Generalls
.
For
as
the
Romane
captaine
Fabritius
said
,
that
it
was

,
which
the
Romanes
neuer
sawe
before
that
battell
at
Heraclea
,
which
the
Romanes
called
Boues

.
Fabritius
thought
it
a
scorne
that
the
Romanes
should
be
ouerthrowne
by
any
nation
in
the
Trebeia
,
Trasimen
&

,
either
by
the
subtill
and
deceitfull
policie
of
Hannibal
,
or
else
for
that
their

were
offended
with
them
;
and
not
by
the

was

for

nothing

but

of

Hannibal
so
straightly
besieged
the
citie

that
the
Romanes
could
by
no

a

the

the

deuised
this
stratagem

to

some

and
some
with

,
and
to
let

,
but
the
riuer
being
chained
ouer
by

,
this
stratagem
was
preuented

deceiued

man
before
the
Lord
that
would
build
vp
Iericho
again
to
the
destruction
of
himselfe
and

that
went
before
Ioshua
to
the
battell
at
Iericho
,
and
was
present
at
the
fall
of

wall
,
went
likewise
before
Cyrus
,
as
himselfe
said
to
Cyrus
,
I
will
goe
before
thee
to
Babilon
,
and
I
will
breake
their
brazen
gates
,
and
crush

peeces
their

I
wil
humble
the
glorious
people
of
the
earth
in
thy
presence
.
The
same
captaine
spake
to
Nabuchodonozer
as
hee
spake
to
Cyrus
,
I
wil
send
Nabuchodonozer
as
the
staffe
of
my
wrath
,
and
the
rod
of
my
punishment
,
and
he
shall
tread
my
enemies
downe
like

so
that

victories
come
from

Lord

to
tyrants

After
the
ouerthrow
of
Iericho
,
the
Lord
commaunded
Ioshua
to
besiege
the
citie
of
Ai
,
where
hee
slew
all
that
dwelt
in
Ai
,
and
left
not
one
to
liue
,
and
tooke
their
king
aliue
,
and
hangd
him
on
a
tree
vntill
the
euening

So
also
the
Lord
strengthened
many
of
his
people
,
to
vanquish
&
ouercome
their
enemies
in
seuerall
combats
,
one
man
to
ouercome
many

but
weake
meanes
to
ouerthrow
so
many
enemies
,
had
not
the
Lord
strengthened
the
meanes
by
the
men
.
These
were
battels
of
the
lord
,
which
were
not
fought
with
swords
,
shots
,
nor
weapons
,
but
armed
with
spirituall
armours
,
and
fought
with
weapons
of
faith
,
&
vanquished
theyr
enemies
.
But
such
victories
were
onely
graunted
to
the
souldiers
of
the
Lord
,
the
people
of
Israel
,
which
victories
at
that

gaue

was
at

diuers

Ioshua
had
at
Iahaz

at

,
and
ouer
fiue
Kings
at
the
battell
at
Gibeon
.
THe
Hebrewes
proceeded
forwards
in
their
warres
against
the
Canaanites
,
for
the
Lord
said
to
Moses
,
Goe
to
Sehon
king
of
Amorites
,
prouoke
him
to
battell
,
and
conquer
his
land
,
for
that
he
denied
passage
to
Moses
Army
,
to
goe
through
his
land
to
the
land
of
Canaan
:
and
therefore
the
Lord
gaue
Sehon
King
of
the
Amorites
vnto
Moses
hands
at
the
battel
at
Iahaz
.
And
the
In
like
sort
in
the
battell
at
Edrei
,
the
Lord
deliuered
Og
King
of
Basan
the
Giant
into
Moses
hands
,
as
he
did
Sehon
King
of
the
Amorites
,
and
the
Hebrewes
smote
the
king
and
all
his
people
,
destroyed
three
score
strong
Hermon
.
Og
king
of
Basan
remained
onely
of
the
Giants
,
for
the
Lord
said
vnto
Moses
,
I
will
send
the
feare
and
dread
of
thee
vpon
all
the
Nations
vnder
heauen
,
so
that
when
they
heare
of
thee
,
they
shall
tremble
and
quake
for
feare
of
thee
.
As
Sehon
king
of
Hesbon
denied
passage
to
Moses
to
goe
through
his
land
to
the
land
of
Canaan
,
so
the
Cittizens
of
Ephron
denied
Iudas
Machabaeus
passage
through
Diuers
kings
assembled
themselues
against
Ioshua
,
hearing
how
Ioshua
and
the
Hebrewes
had
conquered
two
great
Cities
,
Iericho
and
Ai
,
fiue
kings
came
together
to
fight
against
Ioshua
at
Gibeon
,
for
they
feared
exceedingly
the
report
of
the
great
battels
and
wonders
,
This
Ioshuah
did
to
encourage
his
captains
,
in
the
setting
of
their
feet
vpon
the
fiue
kings
necks
,
that
conquerors
may
do
what
please
them
of
kings
conquered
.
So
did
Sapor
king
of
Persia
vse
Valerianus
the
Romane
Emperour
,
as
a
blocke
to
lay
his
foote
vpon
his
necke
,
to
There
also
Pompey
the
great
ouerthrew
Mithridates
K.
of

before
,
where
Tamberlane
gaue
the

the
great
Turke
,
tooke
him
,
and
kept
him
in
a
cage
vnder
his
table
,
and
carried
him
about
with
him
to
his
warres
.
Obserue
how
the
kings
of
the
Canaanites
,
Edomites
,
Maobites
,
Ammonites
,
and
Philistines
knit
themselues
together
against
the
Hebrewes
,
feeling
in
themselues
such
inward
fear
of
them
,
as
the
Macedonians
,
the
Persians
,
and
all
Asia
were
fearfull
of
the
Romanes
,
as
you
Pontus
,
Tygranes
king
of
Armenia
,
and
Iugurth
king
of
Numidia
,
and
yet
preuailed
not
,
for
the
Lord
had
determined
to
take
the
Monarchie
out
of
the
Macedonians
hands
,
&
giue
it
to
the
Romanes
,
as
he
gaue
it
before
from
the
Persians
to
the
Macedonians

Cratippus
the
Philosopher
could
say
so
much
to
Pom-Pey
the
great
,
after
he
was
ouerthrowne
by
Caesar
at
the
battell
of
Pharsalia
.
Pompey
being
desirous
to
know
what
should
happen
of
the
Empire
of
Rome
,
Cratippus
answered

Ioshua
proceedeth
forward

waters
of

kings
gathered
together
with
all

had
to

with
Ioshuah

with
as
many
people
as

wildernesse
,
and
readie
to
bee
deuoured
of
so
many
Kings
about

,
for
the
Canaanites
thought
it
more

that
Ioshua
should
come

the
land
of
Canaan
with
his
poore
Hebrew
Army
,
called
Hicsos
,
in
scorne
among

the
Babylonians

to

After
that
Ioshuah
was
dead
,
the
manner
of
the
Hebrues
was
to

to
decree

of

:
after
the
Romanes
had
subdued
the
Latins
,
they
agreed
vpon
all

of
warres
in
the
temple
of
Ianus

The

when
they
had

they
met
in

the

king
of

,
an
other
enemie
of

with
nine

chariots
of

of

still
prouided
for

deliuered

into

euen
the
whole
Army
For
all
the
battels
that
the
Lord
had
fought
for
Israell
,

they
sinned
more
,
and
so
offended
the
Lord
,
that
they
were
deliuered
seuen
yeares
into
the
hands
of
the
Madianites
for
their
wickednesse
,
that
Israell
made

cryed

raised

offended

were
they
punished
by
the
Lord
,
who
often
gaue
them
ouer
into

hands
,
for
their
rebellious
sedition

called
at

to
breake

to

of

and
of
Gedeon

It
so
amazed
the
Madianites
that
the
victory
was
Gedeons
.
Ioshuah
in
like
sort
was
by
the
Lord
commaunded
,

after
Gedeon

the
Lord
sought
out
Ieptha
,
beeing
fledde
and
chased
by
his
bretheren
from
his
countrey
,
to
the
Land
of
Tob

from
whence
hee
was
called
by
the
Lord
(
who
alwayes
appointed

serued

to
leade
his

against

which
the
Lord
deliuered

At

But
as
before

spake
of

of
the
sacrificing
of

,
so
now
I
thinke
good
by
comparisons
to
shew
the
maner
and
custome
of
the
Gentiles
in
the
like
.
The
report
of
Iepthas
sacrificing
his
daughter
,
came
(
as
it
seemed
)
first
from
the
land
of
Canaan
into
Greece
,
So
Ericthius
king
of
the
Athenians
,
sacrificed
his
daughter
as
Agamemnon
did
,
to
haue
a
victorie
ouer
Eumolpus
,
generall
of
the
Thracian
Army
.
It
is
not
onely
a
common
thing
among
the
Gentiles
to
sacrifice
their
seruants
and
their
children
to
their
Idols
,
but
also
among
the
Hebrewes
,
as
Achab
,
Manasses
,
and
other
kings
of
Israel
,
offred
their
sonnes
and
daughters
for
sacrifice
vnto
Molech

to

that
they

a

man
himselfe

yet
brought
not
vp
his

in

rebuked

Likewise
the
Prophet
Samuels
sonnes

for
that
they
followed
not
their

steps
,

looked
after

Therefore
was
the
Priesthood
taken
away
from
the
house
of
Eli
,
for
the
wickednesse
of
his
children
Ophnes

So
was

taken

from

for
euer

through
the
corruption
and
briberie
of
his

Ioell

Who
would
thinke

notable

Who
would
thinke
that
good
king
Ezechiah
should
haue
so
wicked
a
sonne
as
Manasses
to
succeed
him
,
that
sawed
the
prophet
Esay
in

and
filled
the
streets
of
Ierusalem
with

?
And
againe

who

Philistines

AFter
the
battel
at
Michmash
,
Saul
had
an
other
victorie
ouer
the
Ammonites
,
where
the
Ammonites
were
slain
at
Iabesh
Saul
being
forsaken
of
the
Lord
for
his
disobedience
,
the
Philistines
preuailed
against
him
in
diuers
battels
,
for
Saul
was
more
desirous
to
kill
Dauid
the
seruant
of
the
Lord
,
then
to
destroy
the
Philistines
the
enemies
of
the
Lord
.
But
Dauid
was
reserued
,
and
ordained
to
fight
the
battels
of
the
Lord
,
&
to
destroy
the
Amalekites
,
the
Philistines
,
&
the
rest
of
the
Lords
enemies
,
whom
Saul
spared
,
being
commanded
to
the
contrary
:
therfore
the
Lord
gaue
Saul
to
the
hands
of
the
Philistins
,
at
the
battell
in
mount
Gilboa
,
that
the
Israelites
fled
,
and
fell
before
the
Philistines
,
and
the
three
sonnes
of
Saul
were
slain
,
and
Saul
himselfe
sore
wounded
.
Such
was
his
cruell
life
seeking
to
kill
Dauid
,
that
he
had
a
desperate
death
,
for
he
slew
himself
with
his
owne
sword
,
seeing
the
battell
so
sore
against
him
,
his
sonnes
This
was
the
end
of
Saul
the
first
K.
of
Israel
,
like
the
end
of
Zedechia
the
last
king
of
Israel
.
And
when
the
Philistins
came
to
the
spoyle
of
them
that
were
slaine
,
they
found
the
body
of
Saul
and
his
three
sonnes
in
mount
Gilboah
slaine
in
the
battel
,
and
they
cut
off
Sauls
head
,
and
stripped
him
out
of
his
armour
,
and
they
laid
vp
his
armour
Rehoboam
,
Achab
,
Manasses
and
Zedechiah
,
that
the
Lord
deliuered
Ierusalem
,
and
the
kingdome
of
Iudah
to
the
hands
of
Nabuchodonozer
king
of
Babilon
.
Saul
being
now
slaine
in
mount
Gilboa

Amalekite

brought
to
Dauid
Sauls
crowne
and
his
bracelets

and
tolde
Dauid
that
hee
himselfe
slew
Saul
,
(
which
was
a
lye
,
for
Saul
slew
himselfe
)
thought
to
haue
a
great
reward
for
such
good
newes
,
but
Dauid
commanded
him
to
be
slaine
.
The
like
reward
had
Rechab
and
Banah
,
that
brought
Isbosheths
head
vnto
Dauid
,
who
disguised
themselues
as
Marchants
to
buy
wheate
,
and
went
to
Isbosheths
house
The
recompence
of
such
treacherous
seruants
were
euer
so
rewarded

had
restored
Ptolomeu
his
father
to
his
kingdome
in
Egipt
,
and
Septimius
had
beene
Pompey
his
souldier
in

yet
they
slew
him
most
trecherously
in
his
boate
at
Pellusium
,
and
cut
off
his
head
to
please
Caesar
,
but
they
were
rewarded
of
Caesar

I

thinke

the
head
of
Darius
brought
to
Alexander

the
second
King
of
Israel
,
and
his
great
victories
and
good
successe
which
hee
had
in
all
his
warres
against
the
Canaanites
,
Edomites
,
Moabites
,
Ammonites
,
Philistines
,
and
others
.
DAuid
a
man
whom
the
Lord
found
to
his
owne
heart
,
a
second
Ioshuah
of
Israel
,
hee
fought
many
battels
of
the
Lorde
,
and
wonne
many
victories
:
for
when
the
Philistines
heard
that
Saul
was
dead
,
they
sought
for
Dauid
to
fight
with
him
,
and
Dauid
asked
counsell
of
the
Lord
before
hee
would
take
any
battel
in
hand
,
which
made
his
victories
so
many
,
and
himselfe
so
famous
,
that
all
his
enemies
feared
him
.
So
should
all
Kings
,
Generalls
,
and
Captaines
,
hold
that
rule
for
a
principall
part
of
theyr
charge
,
and
not
to
commence
warre
without
a
iust
cause
,
and
lawful
meanes
to
be
executed
.
Iosias
had
no
good
cause
to
fight
with
Necho
king
of
Egipt
,
who
commaunded
his
souldiers
not
to
fight
with
So
the
King
of
Syria
charged
his
souldiers
to
fight
with
none
but
with
Achab
king
of
Israel
,
at
what
time
Iosaphat
king
of
Iudah
was
spared
,
and
therefore
returned
safe
and
sound
to
Ierusalem
,
by
the
counsell
of
the
king
of
Syria
.
Had
Iosias
followed
the
counsell
of
Necho
king
of
Egipt
,
as
Iosaphat
followed
the
counsell
of
the
king
of
Syria
,
Iosias
had
saued
his
life
as
Iosophat
did
.
Dauid
fought
with
the
Philistines
,
smote
,
scattered
them
,
and
slew
them
,
that
they
fled
before
Dauids
face
Againe
,
the
Philistines
gathered
their
force
against
An other
battell
of
the
Lord
against
the
Philistines
fought
by
Dauid
,
and
he
againe
subdued
them
,
&
tooke
the
strong
citie
of
Gath
,
which
they
called
the
bridle
of
bondage
,
out
of
the
hands
of
the
Philistines
.
This
citie
So
Hanibal
thought
himself
sure
of
Rome
,
hauing
gotten
Capua
and
Tarentum
,
two
of
the
strongest
citties
in
Italy
into
his
hand
.
So
the
Romanes
hauing
gotten
Syracusa
,
So
Dauid
went
forward
in
his
victories
,
after
he
had
gotten
the
strong
citie
of
Gath
,
he
smote
Moab
,
and
measured
them
with
a
cord
,
he
slue
them
&
cast
them
down
to
the
ground
,
he
ouercame
whom
he
would
,
and
saued
whom
hee
listed
,
so
that
the
Moabites
became
Dauids
seruants
,
and
brought
him
gifts
and
presents
,
that
the
Lord
made
Dauid
famous
throughout
all
the
world
.
During
the
time
of
Dauids
warres
against
the
Canaanites
,
and
other
nations
their
associates
,
there
was
no
great
warre
then
among
the
Syrians
,
neither
in
any
part
of
Asia
,
and
especially
in
Europe
,
which
was
scant
Hadarezer
king
of
Zobah
,
hearing
of
the
name
and
The
Aramites
hearing
what
great
ouerthrow
Hadarezer
king
of
Zobah
had
by
Dauid
,
came
from
Damascus
with
a
very
great
army
to
succor
the
king
of
Zobah
:
for
they
knitted
themselues
against
Israel
with
all
theyr
force
and
power
,
but
they
had
the
like
welcome
,
as
the
Philistines
,
the
Moabites
,
and
the
king
of
Zobah
had
.
Dauid
slue
of
the
Aramites
two
&
twenty
thousand
,
&
Dauid
Obserue
the
martiall
proceedings
of
the
Israelites
,
to
put
garrison
in
euery
strong
Citie
and
fort
where
they
had
subdued
.
So
by
these
meanes
Dauid
and
Ioshua
before
him
,
brought
the
Moabites
,
the
Edomites
,
and
the
Philistines
,
and
all
theyr
enemies
round
about
to
be
vnder
their
gouernment
.
So
after
Dauid
all
nations
did
the
like
(
a
principall
point
in
all
good
Generalls
to
strengthen
themselues
with
garrison
in
strong
places
.
)
Herein
the
Remanes
excelled
all
nations
,
that
whersoeuer
,
or
whosoeuer
they
subdued
,
there
they
placed
Asia
,
Titus
and
Sylla
in
Greece
:
this
made
the
Romanes
to
be
feared
and
dreaded
among
all
nations
of
the
worde
.
For
after
the
Romaines
had
subdued
the
Carthagineans
,
they
made
Carthage
a
prouince
to
bee
gouerned
vnder
a
Proconsull
of
Rome
.
After
they
had
subdued
Numidia
and
Lybia
,
they
were
made
prouinces
,
and
gouerned
vnder
a
Consul
of
Rome
.
So
Egipt
and
Mauritania
,
were
in
like
sort
gouerned
vnder
Romane
Presidents
.
So
Sardinia
,
Cicilia
,
Achaia
,
and
many
others
,
were
made
Praetorian
prouinces
,
and
gouerned
vnder
the
Romanes
.
But
wee
will
proceede
forward
with
the
warres
of
Dauid
,
euery
where
vnder
his
Generall
Abishai
,
Ioabs
The
fame
of
Dauid
grew
so
great
,
that
all
the
kings
about
him
enuied
him
much
,
that
Hamnon
king
of
the
Ammonites
prepared
an
army
against
Dauid
,
vnderstanding
that
Dauid
would
reuenge
the
iniury
hee
did
vnto
his
Embassadors
,
whome
Dauid
sent
to
Hamnon
of
meere
kindnesse
and
courtesie
,
the
cause
was
that
Dauids
Embassadours
,
by
the
King
of
Ammon
,
and
the
counsell
of
his
Princes
and
Lords
,
had
the
halfe
of
their
beards
shaued
,
and
their
garments
cut
off
in
the
middle
euen
vnto
their
buttockes
,
and
so
sent
them
away
,
which
among
the
Israelites
was
the
greatest
reproach
Alcibiades
Generall
ouer
the
Athenians
,
laying
siege
to
the
chiefe
citie
of
the
Aggregentines
,
which
was
so
strongly
euery
way
defended
with
forts
and
trenches
,
that
Alcibiades
deuised
a
new
stratageme
,
and
thereby
sought
meanes
to
haue
a
conuenient
place
of
parley
to
talk
with
them
before
he
would
lay
siege
to
the
towne
,
which
being
graunted
,
Alcibiades
appointed
certaine
captaines
,
while
hee
held
the
Aggrentines
in
parley
of
peace
,
to
take
the
citie
.
Ionathan
after
that
Iud.
Machabaeus
his
brother
was
slaine
in
the
field
by
Bacchides
,
and
after
that
the
children
of
Amri
tooke
Iohn
,
Ionathans
brother
,
he
vsed
this
pollicie
to
reuenge
his
brother
vpon
the
mariage
day
of
a
daughter
of
one
of
the
noblest
Princes
of
Canaan
.
Ionathan
&
his
men
hid
themselues
,
and
laie
in
ambush
Cymon
the
sonne
of
Milciades
,
a
noble
Greeke
Captaine
,
The
like
policie
vsed
Demetrius
to
deceiue
Ionathan
,
who
hearing
that
Ionathan
came
in
the
night
time
with
his
men
armed
,
Demetrius
and
all
his
armie
feared
and
Many
such
stratagems
haue
bene
vsed
by
fire
to
deceiue
the
enemie
,
as
Hannibal
by
fire
tyed
to
Oxens
hornes
in
the
night
time
against
the
Romaines
:
Sampson
by
tying
of
firebrands
to
Foxes
tayles
to
burne
the
corne
of
the
Philistines
.
So
Absolon
vsed
the
like
stratagem
against
Ioab
,
with
many
such
.
Now
hauing
heard
that
Ioabs
chiefe
captains
came
in
,
&
that
Dauid
was
comen
ouer
the
riuer
Iorden
,
fiue
kings
came
against
Ioab
,
and
pitched
their
tents
before
Medeba
,
Dauid
at
length
made
a
generall
conquest
of
the
Philistines
,
destroyed
the
Ammonites
and
theyr
chiefe
citie
Rabbah
,
slue
their
King
and
Princes
,
and
cut
the
people
in
peeces
with
sawes
,
with
harrowes
of
Iron
,
and
with
axes
,
and
Dauid
requited
fully
the
spitefull
&
malicious
wrong
they
did
vnto
his
Embassadors
.
And
as
Ioshua
brought
them
ouer

Of
tributes
paide
to
the
kings
of
Egipt
.
And
what
manner
of
tributes
the
old
Romanes
and
Persians
receiued
.
The
rewards
of
adultery
.
SO
Ioseph
made
a
lawe
in
Egipt
,
that
the
first
part
of
all
the
land
of
Egipt
should
be
as
a
yearely
tribute
paide
vnto
Pharao
,
so
that
Ioseph
enriched
Pharao
by
meanes
of
the
yearely
tribute
,
and
saued
Victories
and
ouerthrowes
by
warres
gotten
,
imposed
And
as
the
olde
Romanes
tributes
were
but
cattell
,
To
the
Persians
,
while
yet
the
Monarchie
was
in
Persia
,
the
Aethiopians
payed
but
Ebanye
,
Iuory
,
Elephantes
teethe
,
Frankencense
,
and
certaine
measures
of
base
gold
euery
third
yeare
.
So
the
Capadocians
payed
to
the
Persians
for
yearely
tribute
fiue
hundred
Horse
,
two
thousand
Moyles
.
So
likewise
the
Townes
and
small
Villages
about
Babilon
,
were
to
prouide
and
feede
the
dogges
of
the
king
of
Persia.
But
The
Arabians
likewise
paide
to
the
King
of
Persia
certaine
measures
of
such
sweete
odours
,
as
the
country
did
abound
,
as
Frankincense
and
such
like
.
These
were
but
small
tributes
,
as
swine
,
oxen
,
corne
,
wine
,
fish
,
in
former
time
which
the
Romanes
had
,
in
respect
of
their
tributes
had
ouer
Asia
,
Affricke
,
and
Europe
afterwards
,
which
commaunded
not
only
corne
,
nauies
,
horses
,
souldiers
and
armours
,
but
also
after
this
,
a
farre
greater
tribute
beganne
in
the
time
of
Paul
:
Aemilius
,
who
after
he
had
subdued
the
Macedonians
,
and
Persius
their
king
,
the
Illyrians
and
their
king
Gentius
,
hee
imposed
vppon
the
Macedonians
and
Illyrians
halfe
the
tribute
which
they
were
wont
to
paie
to
their
former
kings
.
So
Scypio
Affrican
after
hee
had
conquered
Hanibal
at
Zama
,
and
brought
the
Carthagineans
to
such
composition
To
such
greatnesse
grewe
the
tributes
of
the
Romanes
by
their
victories
,
that
Hispaine
and
Carthage
were
to
pay
yearely
stipendary
tributes
,
not
onely
in
But
now
to
the
victories
of
Dauid
againe
,
which
after
hee
had
raigned
twentie
yeares
king
quietly
in
Ierusalem
,
he
lost
two
great
battels
,
in
the
one
he
lost
seuentie
thousand
,
and
in
the
other
battell
hee
had
welnigh
lost
both
himselfe
and
his
kingdome
:
in
the
first
battell
Dauid
committed
great
faults
in
setting
out
his
power
,
his
glorie
,
his
victories
,
and
his
greatnesse
,
and
most
ambitiously
to
commaund
Ioab
to
number
all
Israel
from
Berseba
euen
vnto
Dan
,
as
though
power
,
strength
,
and
victorie
came
from
him
,
and
not
from
the
Lord
.
Here
Dauid
consulted
not
with
the
iudgement
of
Vrim
and
Thummim
,
and
therefore
he
lost
the
victory
,
and
Sathan
gaue
him
a
buffet
.
Dauid
againe
in
the
second
battel
was
ouerthrowne
by
prouokement
of
the
former
enemie
,
not
only
to
looke
Vriah
,
Bethsebas
husband
in
the
front
of
the
battell
to
bee
slaine
:
in
this
battell
also
Dauid
did
not
call
for
the
Ephod
,
nor
asked
counsell
of
the
Lord
,
as
he
was
wont
to
do
,
therefore
Sathan
gaue
two
such
great
buffets
to
Dauid
,
that
he
lost
the
field
and
two
victories
one
after
an
other
:
of
these
buffets
and
stratagems
Paul
speakes
,
that
he
was
buffetted
of
Sathan
,
least
he
should
glory
too
much
by
reuelation
shewed
vnto
him
.
Moses
also
had
a
buffet
of
Sathan
at
the
water
of
Meribah
,
for
his
incredulitie
,
that
the
Lord
said
vnto
him
,
that
hee
should
not
enter
into
the
land
of
Canaan
,
but
dye
in
mount
Nebo
.
Iob
also
had
a
buffet
in
the
land
of
Huz
.
Sathan
vseth
many
such
stratagems
,
whereby
hee
giueth
many
such
buffets
.
If
Moses
,
Iob
,
Dauid
,
Paul
,
and
others
,
were
thus
buffeted
by
Sathan
,
who
can
thinke
himselfe
free
from
the
stratagems
of
Sathan
?
wee
must
therefore
watch
,
if
wee
will
not
bee
deceiued
,
and
wee
must
fight
if
we
thinke
to
haue
victorie
,
our
battell
is
not
against
flesh
But
the
Prophet
Nathan
was
sent
to
Dauid
,
to
open
vnto
him
the
rewards
of
adultery
and
murther
,
&
that
the
sword
should
not
go
from
Dauids
house
,
the
banishment
,
the
punishment
and
miserie
that
should
fall
vpon
Thus
Dauid
sawe
the
iust
iudgement
of
the
Lord
,
and
the
tragicall
end
of
his
children
,
for
offending
the
Lord
.
Euen
Dauid
that
subdued
so
many
nations
,
that
got
so
many
victories
,
that
fought
with
a
beare
,
with
a
lyon
,
and
with
a
gyant
,
and
subdued
them
,
is
now
subdued
by
a
woman
;
had
Dauid
after
these
victories
so
much
temperance
and
chastitie
at
the
sight
of
Bethseba
,
as
hee
had
faith
and
courage
at
his
combat
with
Golias
;
hee
had
conquered
both
alike
;
but
the
Lord
punished
The
sonne
of
Emor
for
that
he
violately
abused
Dina
Iacobs
daughter
,
her
bretheren
tooke
at
it
such
a
spite
,
that
Simeon
and

Iacobs
sonnes

went
and
slew

taken
by

Siloth
likewise

by
the
taking
away
of
Viriahs
wife
by
Dauid

Israel
was
plagued
with
the
death
of
seuentie
thousand
men
,
and
the
taking
away
of
Menelaus
wife
from
Greece
,
cost
the
liues
of
many
millions
of
men
,
and
the
warres
of
tenne
yeares
betweene
the
Greekes
and
the
Troians
.
And
for
that
the
time
of
the
taking
away
of
Vriahs
wife
by
Dauid
,
agreeth
with
the
historie
of
the
taking
away
of
Menelaus
wife
by
Alexander
,
otherwise
called
Paris
.
After
the
death
of
Dauid
,
and
Salomon
his
sonne
,
the
kingdome
of
Israel
was
established
vpon
Rehoboam
Salomons
sonne
,
he
forsooke
the
law
of
the
Lord
,
and
reiected
his
fathers
wise
and
graue
counsellors
,
and
followed
Rehoboam

Salomons
sonne
.
This
was
the
first
victorie
that
was
had
ouer
Ierusalem
by
Shesak
king
of
Israel
:
and
here
began
the
first
battell
of
the
ciuill
warre
betweene
the
kings
of
Iudah
,
and
the
kings
of
Israel
:
and
such
ciuill
warre
if
you
consider
Marc.
Antonius

or
the
ciuill
warres
of
the
Greekes
,
called
the
Peloponesian
warre
,
which
endured
seuen
and
twentie
yeares
,
it
was
nothing
in
respect
of
the
murther
and
bloud
betweene
Iudah
and
Israel

from

to
Scypio
Affrican
,
before
the
Romanes
could
be
Lords
of
Italy

The
like
may
bee
spoken
of
the
Israelites
in
conquequering
the
Moabites
,
Ammonites
,
Amalekites
,
Philistines
,
and
others
,
from
Moses
time
vnto
Dauid

welnigh
fiue
hundred
yeares
,

as
the
Romans
held
their
Empire
,
so
long
a
time

they
were
in

of
it
from
Scypio
Affrican

who
conquered
Haniball

vnto
the
Emperor
Probus

fiue

two
thousand

odde
yeares

and
al
through
disobedience
and
contempt
of
their

the

lords
of

refusing
the
counsell
of
Samuel
,
and
so
of
Iosias
disobeying
the
counsell
of
Necho
.
After
the
great
victorie
that
Iudah
had
ouer
Israel
,
by
Abiah
king
of
Iudah
,
his
sonne
Asa
fought
with
Zerah
,
king
of
Aethiopia
,
an
Infidel
,
who
brought
an
host
of
ten
hundred
thousand
men
,
&
three
hundred
chariots
from
Aethiope
to
Iudah
,
and
came
to
Maresha
a
citie
of
Iudah
;
But
Asa
began
with
praiers
,
&
cryed
vnto
the
Lord
by
praiers
for
the
victorie
,
putting
no
trust
in
his
own
power
,
or
pollicie
,
neither
fearing
the
strength
of
the
multitude
of
his
enemies
,
&
so
with
full
confidence
in
the
Lord
,
he
set
vpon
the
Aethiopians
,
&
the
Lord
smote
them
before
Asa
and
before
Iudah
,
that
the
Aethiopians
fled
,
and
the
army
of
Iudah
followed
,
and
pursued
them
vnto
Gerer
,
for
the
Lord
had
striken
the
Aethiopians
with
such
fear
,
that
there
was
no
life
in
them
,
that
the
slaughter
was
exceeding
great
,
&
the
spoyle
exceeding
much
,
of
camels
,
sheepe
,
and
cattell
.
And
Asa
after
the
victorie
which
he
had
giuen
him
by
the
Lord
,
returned
to
Ierusalem
,
and
gaue
the
Lord
thankes
,
who
giueth
all
victories
,
so
as
all
good
kings
and
generals
ought
to
pray
to
the
Lord
before
they
enter
into
battell
,
so
ought
they
also
to
giue
thankes
after
the
battell
,
for
their
victories
.
This
victory
was
a
requitall
and
a
full
reuenge
vpon
the
Aethiopians
,
for
the
sacking
and
spoyling
of
Ierusalem
,
and
of
the
great
slaughter
of
the
people
by
Shesak
king
of
Egipt
.
In
like
maner
as
Abiah
beganne
with
prayers
before
he
beganne
to
battell
,
so
did
king
Asa
his
sonne
follow
his
fathers
rule
and
order
in
seeking
helpe
and
aide
at
the
Lords
hand
,
which
euery
King
,
Generall
,
or
Captaine
should
doo
.
So
Iosaphat
Asas
sonne
did
when
it
was
tolde
him
that
the
Moabites
,
Ammonites
&
Edomites
Ammon
,
Moab
and
Edom
,
that
euery
one
helped
to
destroy
another
,
and
the
Lord
turned
euery
mans
sword
to
kill
his
fellow
.
Where
the
Lorde
leadeth
the
armie
the
victorie
is
soone
gotten
,
so
Iosaphat
putting
his
whole
trust
&
confidence
in
the
Lord
,
slue
all
his
enemies
that
none
did
escape
,
and
the
spoyle
was
such
of
golde
,
of
siluer
,
and
pretious
Iewels
,
that
they
were
three
dayes
in
gathering
and
in
carrying
the
spoyle
away
,
and
then
they
assembled
together
after
the
victorie
by
Iosaphats
commaundement
to
giue
the
Lord
thankes
for
the
victory
,
and
called
the
place
where
they
got
the
victory
Berachab
,
These
three
battels
of
Abiah
,
Asa
,
and
Iosaphat
,
were
battells
of
the
Lord
,
and
as
the
Lord
had
done
at
that
battell
at
Michmash
to
Ionathan
,
so
the
Lord
did
now
at
the
battell
at
Beracha
to
Iosaphat
,
and
so
the
Lord
in
all
the
battels
of
the
good
kings
of
Iudah
and
Israel
shewed
alwaies
his
diuine
stratagems
for
the

of

destruction
of

vsed

as
eye-witnesses
to

and
to
expect

faith
the
words
of

The
Prophet
Ieremy
proceedeth
forward
to
denounce
the
ouerthrow
of
those
proud
kingdomes
,
that
reioyced
Babilon
,
Ieremy
wrote
it
in
a
booke
,
&
sent
Sheraiah
with
his
booke
to
read
it
,
and
when
he
had
done
reading
,
Ieremy
commaunded
him
to
binde
a
stone
to
the
booke
,
and
to
cast
it
into
the
midst
of
the
riuer
Euphrates
,
and
then
to
say
,
thus
shall
Babilon
be
confounded
;
thus
the
Prophets
vsed
besides
their
prophesies
to
adde
some
action
to
make
the
words
the
more
to
be
remembred
.
So
also
the
Prophet
Ezechiel
prophesied
against
Egipt
,
and
against
their
great
cities
,
saying
:
The
sword
of
the
Lord
shall
come
to
Memphis
,
to
Pellusium
,
and
to
Alexandria
,
I
will
ouerthrow

the

I
will

For
as
Babilon
was
taken

Maradach
ouerthrowne
,
and

confounded
,
so
was
the
strength
of
Egipt
,
&

againe
,

Nabuchodonozer
in

sort
as
he
ouerthrew

made

his

so
Egipt
was
taken
by
the

,
and
last
by
the

But
Ierusalem
as
you
heard
by
Ieremy
,
should
not
bee
so
destroyed
,
but
should
be
defended
against
all

enemies

and
the

shall
destroy

THe
stratagems
which
Ierusalem
vsed
in
the
battells
of
the
Lord
,
were
nothing
like
to
the
stratagemes
of
the
great
Monarchies
and
Polymarchies
of
the
world
,
who
reposed
their
trust
in
their
dumbe
Idolles
and
woodden
gods
,
and
in
multitude
of
men
and
beastes
,
as
Semyramis
did
,
a
woman
of
great
fame
and
report
in
histories
,
willing
to
excell
men
in
martiall
actions
,
tooke
her
voyage
into
India
,
with
such
innumerable
armies
,
that
Staurobates
king
of
India
was
so
frighted
with
the
report
thereof
,
that
he
caused
all
his
Elephants
to
be
brought
and
to
be
set
in
the
most
shewe
to
terrifie
the
Assirians
,
that
it
made
the
Assirian
armie
more
willing
to
returne
backe
,
then
to
goe
forwards
.
Semyramis
perceiuing
that
the
Assirians
were
afrighted
and
amazed
,
at
the
sight
of
so
many
Elephants
,
and
that
the
king
did
purposely
set
his
Elephants
in
sight
to
amaze
the
Assirians
,
which
was
the
order
of
the
Indians
to
terrifie
all
Princes
with
the
sight
of
their
Elephants
:
After
these
fained
elephants
,
she
placed
such
an
infinit
number
of
camels
behind
the
armie
,
that
the
sight
therof
much
terrified
Staurobates
&
his
army
,
that
Semyramis
by
this
stratagem
got
two
great
victories
in
India
.
But
after
these
fained
elephants
were
betraied
by
one
of
Semyramis
Captaines
taken
in
the
warres
,
who
by
torture
confessed
the
secresie
of
Semyramis
stratageme
,
that
she
was
glad
to
leaue
India
,
and
to
returne
to
her
Country
.

he
made

,
fained
to

,
and
left
his
tents
full
of

and
good

,
and
sodainly
returning

the
Scythians
banquetting

this
was
a

stratagem

Tomyris
after

being

against

Aethiopians
,
hearing
by
reports
of
the
dangerous

from

twelue

after

taking

,
when
his
army
sawe
so
many
Elephants
set
in

,
along
vpon
the
riuer
of
Ganges
side
,
it
so
amazed
the
Macedonian
army
,
that
they
told
Alexander
that
they
came
not
to
fight
with
beasts
but
with
men
,
so
fearfull
at
the
sight
of
the
Elephants
,
that
the
Macedonians
would
goe
no
further

Alexander
being
of
inuincible
courage
that
nothing
could
feare
him
,
without
stratagems
,
but
of
meere
magnanimitie
,
requested
the
Macedonians
&
the
Persians
that
were
in
his
army
,
not
to
leaue
him
their
king
to
such
shamefull

Of
military

of

among
diuers
nations

IN
all
nations
military
discipline
was
so
taught
,
and
martiall
lawes
so
obserued
,
that
if
they
deserued
by
theyr
good
seruice
any
preferment
,
though
hee
were
but
a
meane
souldier
,
hee
should
not
loose
the
honour
and
dignitie
of
his
aduancement
,
to
rise
by
degrees
from
the
lowest
souldier
vnto
the
highest
captaine
,
and
so
in
like
sort
by
faults
and
offences
committed
,
they
should
be
disgraded
and
casseerd
from
their
gouernment
and
regiment
,
and
bee
punished
further
by
the
lawes

therin
appointed

come

then
you
shall
finde
the
seuerall
military
discipline
agreeable
to
the
skilfulnesse
of
the
captaine
,
the
greatnesse
of
the
victory
,
and
the
nature
of
the
place

no

lawe
might
they
continue

,
but
had
their
maintenance
and
preferment
The
like
lawe
among
the
Scythians
was
duly
obserued

carefully
examined
,
that

followed

Of

of

in
diuers
kingdomes

DIuers
punishments
by
diuers
great
notable
captains
were
inflicted
vpon
rebellious
,
seditious
and
cowardly
souldiers
,
As
first
of
the
punishment
of
the
Hebrewes
,
as
Chore
,
Dathan
,
and
Abiron
,
Achan
for
stealing
of
the
Babilonian
garment
at
the
Massa
,
Riphidim
,
and
Meribah
,
that
it
spared
not
Moses
Generall
of
the
armie
,
and
the
seruant
of
the
Lord
,
it
farre
excelled
the
punishment
of
the
Gentiles
,
besides
in
the
wildernesse
they
were
stung
and
bitten
with
serpents
,
and
venemous
beastes
,
as
also
they
were
left
among
the
Canaanites
,
Amalekites
,
and
others
,
that
should
be
as
prickes
in
their
sides
,
and
needles
in
theyr
eyes
,
to
punish
them
.
So
the
souldiers
that
obeyed
Moses
,
Ioshua
,
and
others
,
were
rewarded
with
all
good
blessings
,
with
Manna
and
Quailes
from
heauen
,
and
drunke
of
euerie
rocke
.
Besides
,
Moses
was
commaunded
to
lift
vp
a
brazen
Serpent
in
the
wildernesse
,
that
those
that
were
stung
,
bitten
,
and
daungerously
hurt
by
Serpents
,
by
looking
on
the
brazen
serpent
should
be
healed
.

such
cruell
seuerall
lawes
to
inflict
punishment
,
as
farre
exceeded
all

As
Fabius
Maximus
,
was
so
seuere
for
his
military
punishment
,
that
he
would
cut
off
the
right
hand
of
any
mutinous
or
seditious
souldier
within
the
campe
.
Aufidius
Cassius
,
being
Consull
and
Generall
in
the
field
,
would
cut
off
both
the
hands
&
the
feete
of
those
souldiers
that
so
offended

saying
,
that
they
should

As
among
the
barbarous
Scythians
,
Tamberlanes
seueritie
was
such
,
that
a
poore
woman
complained
of
one
of

tooke
a

An other
example
in
Tamberlane
,
being
presented
by
a
poore
husbandman
with
great
treasure
which
he
found
in
a
vessel
as
he
was
digging
in
his
owne
ground
,
Tamberlane
demaunded
whether
his
fathers
name
and
Image
were
vpon
them
,
causing
the
superscription
of
the
money
to
be
read
;
being
answered
that
it
was
Caesars
the
Romain
Emperors
,
he
said
,
them
they
be
not
Tamberlanes
,
and
commanded
that
none
of
the
souldiers
should
rob
or
spoile
the
poore
man
of
the
benefits
of
his
good
luck
by
his
trauell
.
This
was
that
great
Scythian
Tamberlane
,
that
had
six
hundred
thousand
footmen
,
&
foure
hundred
thousand
horse
against
Pazaites

PLato
saith
,
that
from
great
minds
,
great
vertues
,
or
great
vices
do
proceed
,
and
so
it
seemed
in
many
noble
and
heroicall
men
,
as
well
of
the
Greekes
,
as
of
the
Romanes
,
as
Alcibiades
might
well
bee
compared
to
Lu.
Sylla
,
and
Demetrius

and
yet
all
foure
valiaunt

wise

whose
fortune
seemed
not
much
vnlike
in
all

victories
.
Plutarch
therefore
very
fitly
compareth
some
Captaines
of
the
Greekes
with

So
Hanibal
is
well

for
false

foure

,
enuying
Demetrius

conspired

the

the
emulation
betweene
these

the
cause

in
the

by
Epaminondas
:
at
which
battell
Cleombrotus
the

with
all

with
a
thousand

at

was
a
great
feast
at
Sparta
,
when
this
newes
came
to
the
Ephories
of
the
victorie
of
the
Thaebans
.
This
battel
was
thirtie
yeares
after
the
ouerthrow
of
Athens
by
Lysander
the
Lacedemonian
,
and
now
the
ouerthrowe
of
Sparta
by
Epaminondas
the
Thaeban
.
These
two
cities
were
named
the
two
eyes
&
the
two
legges
of
Greece
:
and
yet
Sparta
could
not
abide
Athens
,
nor
Athens
abide

:
there
was
neuer
such
a
victory

hauing
brought
some
of

as

caused
a

was
betweene

Philopomen

eight
times

delighted
from
his
youth
in
warre

exercise
,
and
loued

for
he
was
in
his
time
one
of
the
best
,
and
one
of
the
last
Captaines
of
Greece
,
and
therfore
reputed
a
better
Captaine
for
war
,
then
a
wise
gouernour
for
peace
.
For
at
the
battell
by
the
riuer
of

,
Philopomen
being
Generall
of
the
Achalans
against
the
Aetolians

Generall
of

in

combat
fought
betweene
them
both
in
the
sight
of
the
armie
,
and
after
ouerthrew
the
whole
hoste
.
Philopomen
grew
so
great
in
Greece
,
that
the
name
of
Philopomen
made
the
Baeotians
to
flie
for
feare
from
the
siege
of

,
and
made
the

after
he
had

towne
to

compelled
the
Lacedemonians
to
follow
the

so
esteemed

,
enuyed
him
for

beeing

had
restored
all
Greece

turned
all
curiositie

,
to
So
Lucullus
by
talking
with
souldiers
,
by
reading
of
bookes
,
and
by
exercising
of
military
discipline
,
became
one
of
the
noblest
Captaines
that
the
Romaines
had
:
for
at
the
battell
at
the
riuer
of
Rindacus
,
hee
gaue
the
ouerthrow
to
Mithridates
souldiers
,
that
fortie
thousand
were
slain
in
the
field
,
fifteene
thousand
taken
,
and
Lucullus
fought
with
Mithridates
another
battell
at
the
riuer
Granicus
,
where
Alexander
the
great
gaue
the
first
battell
to
Darius
king
of
Persia.
Here
also
Lucullus
in
a
very
great
battell
fought
with
his
Romane
armie
so
This
Mithridates
was
the
greatest
enemy
that
the
Romanes
had
after
Hannibal
,
and
yet
Hannibal
and
all
Affrica
was
subdued
within
seuenteene
yeares
by
the
Romanes
,
and
that
most
noble
captaine
Pirrhus
,
who
fought
with
the
Tarentines
,
Samnites
&
others
,
against
the
Romanes
,
hee
was
driuen
out
of
Italy
within
foure
yeares
,
but
Mithridates
endured
the
fury
of
the
Romans
fortie
yeares
,
vntill
he
was
weakened
by
Sylla
,
wearied
by
Lucullus
,
and
at
last
subdued
by
Pompey
the
great
.
Mithridates
king
of
Pontus
,
fearing
much
the
power
and
pollicies
of
the
Romanes
,
frequented
hunting
,
that
he
vsed
no
house
in
towne
or
country
for
seuen
yeares
,
that
thereby
he
was
able
to
endure
any
labour
and
to
preuent
any
stratagem
of
his
enemies
.
So
did
Sertorius
,
with
many
other
Romane
&
Greek
Hannibal
laying
siege
to
Tarentum
,
beeing
agreed
with
one
Eoneus
a
Tarentine
for
a
certain
sum
of
money
to
betray
the
citie
Tarentum
,
Eoneus
vsed
this
stratagem
by
the
counsel
of
Hannibal
,
to
go
out
a
hunting
in
the
night
time
,
for
feare
of
the
enemies
,
and
to
bring
to
Liuius
Lysimachus
king
of
Macedonia
vsed
the
like
stratagem
,
So
did
Marcellus
take
the
citie
Syracusa
,
by
solliciting
Sosistratus
,
Marcellus
obtained
Syracusa
.
This
great
Romane
enemy
Mithridates
king
of
Pontus
,
so
hated
the
Romanes
,
that
hee
gathered
together
all
the
poore
banished
Romains
,
scattered
euery
where
Lucullus
had
also
two
of
the
most
famous
and
renowned
victories
ouer
two
of
the
most
mightiest
&
greatest
Asia
,
Tigranes
king
of
Armenia
,
&
Mithridates
king
of
Pontus
,
at
mount
Taurus
:
for
Tigranes
armie
as
Lucullus
himselfe
wrote
vnto
the
Senate
,
was
two
hundred
three
score
thousand
men
;
of
the
which
number
aboue
a
hundred
thousand
footemen
were
slaine
,
and
fewe
of
all
the
horsemen
were
saued
,
and
the
king
driuen
in
his
flight
to
throwe
his
Diademe
to
some
of
his
friends
,
who
was
taken
with
the
Diademe
and
brought
to
Lucullus
.
It
is
written
by
Plutarche
that
the
Sunne
sawe
not
the
like
ouerthrow
.
So
Lucullus
reuenged
the
great
spite
of
Tigranes
king
of
Armenia
:
and
Mithridates
king
of
Pontus
,
for
the
spite
and
hatred
they

,
and

as

reuenged
vpon

was
such
and

,
Tygurins

and
Germanes
,
Cai.
Marius
and
Luctatius
his
fellow
Consull
gaue
them
such
a
meeting
,
that
two
hundred
thousande
of
them
were
slain
,
foure
score
thousand
taken
prisoners
,
Lugius
&
Boiorex
two
kings
slain
in
the
battell
,
besides
innumerable
that
fled
from
the
battell
,
&
hangd
themselues
on
trees
,
and
for
want
of
trees
,
they
tyed
slipping
halters
about
their
neckes
,
vnto
the
hornes
and
feete
of
their
oxen
,
and
prickt
them
forwards
with
goades
,
that
they
might
tread
&
trample
them
vnder
their
feete
vntil
they
were
killed
,
besides
the
horrible
crueltie
of
the
women
,
which
was
most
terrible
,
in
strangling
their
young
babes
with
their
owne
handes
,
they
cast
them
vnder
their
Cartes
wheeles
,
and
betweene
the
horses
legges
,
and
at
last
slue
themselues
.
At
what
time
Marius
for
his
great
fortune
,
victories
and
seruice
,
was
called
Pater
patriae
,
the
father
of
the
countrey
.
After

had
bene
seuen
times

,
Romulus
,
Cicero
,
and
himselfe
had
it
,
and
had

in
diuers
and
sundry
great
battels
,
and
wanne
many
victories
,
besides
the
victories
ouer
the
Cymbrians
,
Teutons
,
and
the
rest
,
ouer
the
Spaniards
,
Numantines
and
Affricans
,
open
proclamation
was
made
by
the
Senate
throughout
all
Italy
;
that
they
should
apprehend
Marius
,
and
either
kill
him
wheresoeuer
they
found
him
,
or
to
bring
him
before
the
Senators
of
Rome
aliue
.
This
was
the
ende
of
Marius
marching
,
which
if
you
compare
him
with
Sylla
,
you
shall
finde
them
both
firebrands
to
their
countrey
,
for
the
harme
they
haue
done
to
their
countrey
,
and
yet
both
great
benefactors
to
their
countrey
before
their
ciuill
warres
.
For
Sylla
was
either
another
Hannibal
in
doing
harme
to

of

against

which
were

THe

manner
of
the

by
the
Lord
commaunded
to
denounce
warres
to
the
Canaanites
,
Edomites
,

,
Philistines
,
and
all
other
nations
that
were
enemies
to
Israel
,
was
in
this
sort
.
The
Lord
commaunded
the
Prophets
as
his
heraulds
,
to
denounce
warre
after
this
manner
:
And
so
against
the
Egiptians
,
Ezechiel
was
commanded
as
an
herauld
from
the
Lord
,
to
set
his
face
against

Ezechiel

,
and
will
bring
Nabuchodonozer
king
of

against

,
and
wil
make

So
likewise
as
the
Prophet
Ezechiel
was
commanded
by
the
Lord
to
publish
warre
against
the
Idumeans
,
the
Egiptians
,
and
against
Tyre
,
so
against
Gog
and
Magog
the
Prophet
was
sent
with
the
like
words
,
for
it
was
the
charge
and
commaundement
of
the
Lord
to
all
his
prophets
,
being
his
Heraulds
,
to
proclaime
warre
against
the
great
monarches
,
and
Polymarchies
of

,
enemies
to
his

as
to
the

the
Assirians

,
Lybians
,
and

,
shewing
vnto
them
their
destruction
before
the
sword
of
the

came
vpon

.
So
the
Lord
sent
Moses
his

Prophet
and
his
Herauld
,
long
before

time
,
to
Pharao
in
Egipt
with

THe
maner
of
yeelding
of
diuers
nations
in

time
was
,
either
in
the
field
to
their
enemies
,
or
else
by
entreaty
of
peace
,
So
the
Egiptians
came
with
poore
simple
garments
,
without
weapons
,
to
seeke
peace
at
the
enemies
,
and
to
yeeld
themselues
,
their
Priests

their
gods

them

the
cittizens

came

the

themselues

it

heard
in

,
before
the
Citie
was
destroyed
,
and
the

,
signifying
the
calamitie
which

was

in

continued

,
which
was
not

to

was

they
said
that

the

whipt

for

thought

to

So
Zeleucus

in

,
that
he

After

the

also
vpon
the

Metellus
punished

without

Those
souldiers
that
cast
vp

made
trenches
and
diches
,
might
not
be

about
them
,
though
they
were
but
agrarij
milites

So
vsed
Marius
,
and
after
him
Caesar
,
they
made
their
souldiers
to
worke
with
their
swords
on
their
sides

and
mattockes
in

So
did
the

,
build

and
many
other
So
did
Cyrus
the
great
king
of
Persia
,
with
the
like
care
keepe
his
souldiers
from
slothfull
idlenesse
,
commaunding
his
Generalls
&
Captaines
to
exercise
theyr
souldiers
with
paine
&
trauell
,
to
suffer
hunger
&
colde
And
after
that
Cyrus
had
conquered
the
Lydians
,
knowing
them
to
be
false
and
treacherous
fellowes
,
very
cowards
&
timerous
soldiers
,
he
dismissed
them
from
his
campe
,
and
suffred
them
not
to
stay
among
his
souldiers
,
because
they
should
not
infect
souldiers
,
nor
corrupt
military
discipline
.
For
that
the
martiall
disciplines
of
the
Romaines
were
such
as
I
thought
good
to
make
a
catalogue
as
I
found
them

this
kinde

vsed
the
Egiptians
,
by
a
lawe
confirmed
in
Egipt
,
to
cut
off
the
souldiers
tongue
that
betrayed
any
counsell
to
the
enemie
:
the
fourth
punishment
among
the
Romanes
was
Manuum
amputatio
,
to
cut
off
the
hands
of
those
souldiers
that
were
founde
stealing
or
filching
in
the
campe
.
The
fift
punishment
was
Crurum
exectio
,
Another
punishment
they
had
called
Decimation
,
Appius
Claudius
,
which
long
endured
among
the
Romanes
,
and
most
frequented
.
The
seuenth
punishment
was
for
them
that
fled
to
the
enemies
,
and
returned
to
be
eaten
and
deuoured
of
beasts
.
So
Scipio
Affrican
punished
some
Romain
fugitiues
.
Another
punishment
among
the
Romane
souldiers
,
was
to
be
stoned
to
death
,
so
was
Posthumius
stoned
in
his
Tents
.
Another
punishment
among
souldiers
,
was
to
be
shot
to
death
the
souldier
being
tied
to
a
stake
.
This
punishment

after

to
the
Empire
of
Rome
,
and
had
appointed
gouernors
and
regents
to
gouerne
vnder
them
in
euery
country
:
Some

some

Gasgoyne

into

the
other
foure
vnder
Proconsuls
.
Macedonia
was
diuided
into
seuen
prouinces
,
Thracia
This
might
seeme
strange
,
that
Consuls
of
Rome
being
but
one
citie
,
should
rule
&
gouerne
so
many
kingdomes
,
that
after
they
had
subdued
Affrica
&
the
most
part
of
Europe
,
before
they
came
to
Asia
,
and
had
established
Affrike
&
Europe
vnder
Romane
gouernors
.
And
as
by
the
death
of
Alexander
the
great
,
all
the
East
kingdomes
were
left
without
a
king
,
that
they
that
were
Antipater
,
Egipt
to
Ptolomeu
,
Asia
the
lesse
to
Antigonus
,
and
so
other
kingdomes
were
diuided
betweene
others
of
Alexander
his
souldiers
and
they
that
could
agree
vnder
one
captaine
,
as
fellowes
,
friendes
,
and
souldiers
of
one
countrey
,
fell
to
ciuil
warres
within
themselues
,
that
one
destroyed
another
,
that
by
this
meanes
the
Romanes
subdued
the
kings
of
Asia
,
as
they
subdued
the
kings
of
Affrica
and
Europe
.
After
the
Romanes
had
subdued
Italy
,
their
countrey-men
and
next
neighbours
,
they
graunted
to
the
Volsces
,
the

,
the
Samnites
,
Lucans
,
Tarentines
&
Thuscans
,
the
Romane
lawe
called
Ius

.
So
did
the
Romanes
in
Cicilia
,
which
was
the
first
people
subdued
,
and
made
the
first
prouince
vnder
the

so
that

that

were
made

to

named

in

and

The

were
restored

by
diuers
Emperors
of
Rome
,
as
by
Pau.
Aemilius
,
Ti.
Flaminius
,
Lu.
Silla
,
&
others
.
But
other
kingdomes
and
countries
were
not
so
:
For
though
the
Romains
excelled
and
exceeded
all
nations
in
prowise
,
in
conquests
and
victories
,
yet
made
they
all
kingdomes
and
countries
their
friendes
and
consederates
which
they
subdued
.
So
was
Masinissa
king
of
Numidia
,
And
Attalus
king
of
Asia
,
for
the
friendship
that
he
And
though
the
Cappadocians
were
a
free
nation
gouerned
by
their
owne
lawe
,
yet
sought
they
freedome
and
libertie
of
the
Romanes
,
and
would
be
gouerned
by
them
onely
forsaking
their
owne
libertie
,
so
that
they
were
ruled
as
the
Egiptians
were
by
Romaine
knights
,
for
that
the
Romane
knights
and
the
Senators
were
of
equall
power
at
that
time
.
For
no
Consull
,
Proconsull
,
Praetor
,
or
such
as
had
Serieants
or
Tipslaues
before
them
,
might
in
no
wise
come
into
Alexandria
or
any
part
of
Egipt
,
for
that
the
Romanes
had
an
olde
prophesie
,
that
their
dignitie
and
iurisdicton
should
cease
in
Alexandria
,
and
also
in
Egipt
,
when
any
Romane
officer
came
to
Alexandria
,
hauing
Serieants
with
Maces
before
them
.
The
Romanes
beeing
now
Lords

and
that
there
was
no

no

feared

trembled
at

And
as
you
heard
before
of
the
ciuill
warres
of
the
Macedonians
betweene
Alexanders
seruants
,
and
of

so
Israel
likewise
fell

ciuill
warres
,
which
Moses

Ioshua

Dauid

and
others
,
kept
and
executed
the
same
,
whose
fame
grew
so
great
thereby
,
that
all
the
kings
and
captaines
of
the
earth
trembled
thereat
.
The
Gentiles
in
their
warres
with
their
enemies
,
tooke
not
onely
counsell
of
their
Oracles
and
Soothsayers
,
but
also
made
their
simple
souldiers
to
beleeue
,
that
they
were
instructed
by
some
diuine
power
sent
from
Iupiter
,
or
from
Appollo
.
As
Sertorius

a
captaine
no

famous
in

,
then
Sylla
was

did
by
a
white
hinde
vse
many
stratagems

he
taught
to

Thus
hee
encouraged
his
souldiers
in

by
reason
of
his
white
hinde
,
as
Lucius
Sylla
did
practise
manye
such
Stratagemes
in
Asia
,
who
did
make
his
souldiers
beleeue
by
looking
on
the
picture
of
Appollo
,
which
he
carried
about
his
neck
in
a
litle
close
tablet
,
that
he
was
instructed
by
Appollo
to
take
such
battels
in
hand
,
that
Sylla
would
make
his
souldiers
beleeue

So

was
ouerthrowne
by

at
the
battell

fled
to
Antiochus
the
great
,
whom
hee
perswaded
with
all
meanes
possible
to
take
warres
against
the
Romanes
,
being
so
weakened
and
brought
lowe
by
Hannibal
,
at
which
time
Antiochus
beganne
a
new
warre
vpon
the
Romains
,
whom
they
feared
at
the
first
beginning
as
much
as
they
did
Hannibal
,
for
before
he
had
warres
with
the
Romanes
,
hee
had
conquered
and
subdued
the
most
part
of
Asia
,
and
all
which
Zeleucus
had
subdued
before
him
.
And
Antiochus
waxed
so
strong
that
he
subdued
many
barbarous
and
warlike
nations
,
that
therby
he
was
called
Antiochus
the
great
,
and
Of
this
Antiochus
,
might
well
be
spoken
,
what
Antigonus
spake
of
Pirrhus
,
who
compared
him
to
a
dice
Hannibal
after
hee
fled
from
Affricke
,
being
ouerthrowne
by
Scipio
,
went
to
Antiochus
the
great
,
whom
he
perswaded
to
take
warres
against
the
Romanes
,
to
whom
Hannibal
taught
many
stratagemes
,
among
the
which
hee
taught
him
to
throw
little
vessels
full
of
Adders
and
Vipers
into
the
Romane
nauies
on
sea
battels
,
to
hinder
not
only
the
souldiers
from
their
fighting
,
but
also
the
saylers
from
their
businesse
.
The
same
selfe
stratagem
did
Hannibal
shew
to
Prusias
king
of
Bythinia
,
to
whom
he
fled
after
Antiochus
the
great
was
ouerthrowne
by

Hannibal
and
his
brother
Asdrubal
,

afflicted

was

was

the
Romane
lawes
a
day
forbidden
to
fight
,
and
by
his
brothers
counsell
,
Scipio
Asiaticus
obtained
a
great
victorie
ouer
Antiochus
the
great
,
which
was
the
first
king
among
the
Syrians
,
called
Antiochus
the
great
,
and
thereby
Scipio
was
surnamed
Asiaticus
,
after
the
ouerthrow
of
Antiochus
,
as
his
brother
Scipio
was
surnamed
Affricanus
,
after
the
great
ouerthrowe
of
Hannibal
.
So
Cn.
Pompeius
was
called
Pompey
the
great
,
after
the
ouerthrowe
of
Sertorius
and
his
complices
in
Hispaine
.
So
Alexander
was
called
Alexander
the
great
,
after
hee
ouerthrew
Darius
,
and
obtained
the
Empire
of
Persia.
This
good
successe
of
these
victories

the
Romanes
,

grew

so
great

went

had
foure
hundred
and
fiftie
Ensignes
of
footemen

well
armed

him

Sylla
himselfe
reporteth
it
in

to

he
wanne

Sylla

courage
as

Antiochus
after
his
flight
from
Persepolis
in
Persia
,
thought
to
reuenge
his
wrath
vpon
Ierusalem
,
aduancing
himself
,
So
Artaxerxes
king
of
Persia
so
fauoured
the
Iewes
through
the
goodnesse
of
the
Lord
,
that
hee
called
Esdras

reader
of
the

Nabuchodonozer

Cyrus

fauour
his

And
therefore
olde

said

that
the
sacrifices

oblations
,
with
all
their
vowes
and
ceremonies
which
the
Troians
offered
to
Iupiter
,
were
nothing
of
him
accepted
,
for
that
Iupiter
rather
esteemed
the
vowes
and
sacrifice
of
Agamemnon
,
and
the
oblations
of
the
Greckes
before
king
Priamus
and
his
Troians
.
So
the
oracle
of
Ammon
answered
the
Athenians
,
So
the
Prophet
answered
the
Iewes

the
mouth
of
the
Lord

Ionathas

The

the

sought

but

was

vnto
the

For
the

went
for

to

the

to

the

Cuius
In
Rome
,
the
Dictator
,
the
Consul
,
the
Praetor
,
and
other
Magistrates
,
were
to
be
remoued
from
their
offices
,
if
the
soothsayer
sawe
any
occasion
by
lightning
,
So
that
there
was
a
lawe
in
Sparta
,
that
euery
ninth
yeare
the
chiefe
magistrates
called
Ephori
would
choose
a
bright
night
without
Moone
light
,
in
some
open
place
to
behold
the
starres
,
and
if
they
had
seene
any
star
shoot
or
moue
from
one
place
to
another
,
straight
these
Ephori
accused
their
kings
that
they
offended
the
gods
,
and
therby
deposed
them
from
their
kingdome
.
So
did
Lysander
depose
king
Leonidas
.
So
likewise
the
Romains
were
perswaded
that
their
ouerthrow
at
the
battels
of
Thrasimen
,
Trebeia
,
and
Canne
by
Hannibal
,
were
,
for
that
they
supposed
they
offended
the
gods
,
either
in
not
performing
their
vowes
,
or
in
not
doing
of
sacrifice
,
or
else
for
the
vnskilfulnesse
of
theyr
Generalls
.
So
did
they
suppose
theyr
ouerthrowes
by
the
Cymbrians
to
be
by
the
vnskilfulnesse
and
ouersight
of
Quin.
Scaepio
,
their
Generall

Cai.
Marius
afterward
reuenged
the
ouerthrowes
of
the
Romaines
,
with
the
greatest
ouerthrow
that
euer
the
Cymbrians
had
.
By
these
meanes
,
the
Consuls
were
oftentimes
remoued
&
displaced
,
from
their
offices
of
Consulship
by
the
Senators
as
Varro
,
Mansinus
,
Leuinus
&
others
,
as
the
kings
,
and
Generals
were
in
Sparta
,
by
meanes
of
their
magistrates
called
Ephori
,
such
sure
trust
and
confidence
they
had
in
their
soothsayers
,
that
without
the
counsell
of
soothsayers
in
Rome
,
or
the
counsell
of
Magi
in

or
of
the
Ephori
in

,
the
kings
of
Rome
,
of
Persia
,
and
of
Sparta
,
would
attempt
nothing
concerning
the
state
of
the
countrey
.
And
therfore
the
Macedonians
made
a
decree
that
no
monument
of
triumph
should
be
made
within
their
kingdome

after

had
diuided

their
lands
,
and
limited
their
meeres
and
markes
by
the
pole
,
for
the
Romaines
to
inhabite
there
,
for
that
the
marks
&
limits
were
bitten
&
gnawed
with
wolues
,
the
Romanes
paused
&
staied
before
they
had
consulted
with
Oracles
.
The
first
king
of
Rome
Romulus
,
builded
his
kingdom
by
flying
of
fowles
and
soothsaying

So
Numa
Pompil

was
chosen
second
king
of

by
flying

therefore
Hannibal

that

so

he
lost

also

So
that

)
to
the
Romains
,
what
he
wanne
by
skill

of

of
the
Romaines
.
This
is
the
end
of
all
vnlawfull
warres
,
to
be
worse

then

I
remember
Aristotle
bringeth
in
a
verse
of
Homer
,
in
describing
the
affection
of
the
desire
&
wrath
of
men
,
and
saith
,
that
anger
to
Achilles
was
as
sweete
as
honey
So
sweet
was
couetousnes
vnto
Craesus
,
being
the
only
wealthiest
man
in

,
that
it
brought
him
from
Rome
to
So
reuenge
was
to
Hanibal
,
as
sweet
as
wrath
to
Achilles
,
the
one
to
satisfie
his
wrath
vpon
the
Troians
,
the
other
to
performe
his
vow
&
oath
to
his
father
Hamilcar
So
to
Pirrhus
,
quarrels
were
as
sweet
,
as
reuenge
was
to
Hanibal
,
and
therefore
taking
quarrels
in
hand
euery
So
may
it
be
spoken
of
the
ambition
of
Caesar
&
Alexander
:
So
likewise
Alexander
exclaimed
against
himselfe
,
in
respect
of
the
fame
&
greatnes
which
Homer
gaue
to
Achilles
.
Thus
ambition
was
as
sweet
to
Caesar
,
and
to
Alexander
,
as
either
wrath
to
Achilles
,
couetousnesse
to
Caesar
,
reuenge
to
Hanibal
,
or
quarrels
to
Pirrhus
.
Therefore
ambition
was
painted
out
in
Heliopolis
,
a
citie
in
Egipt
,
without
legges
,
because
ambition
might
not
clime
,
for
ambitious
men
are
not
so
glad
and
proud
to
see
many
that
follow
and
obey
them
,
as
they
are
inwardly
afflicted
and
grieued
to
see
fewe
not
obedient
vnto
them
.
In
the
same
self
citie
were
the
pictures
of
Iudges
painted
And
the
pictures
of
princes
painted
blind
without
eies
,
In
Athens
a
lawe
was
made
against
ambitious
men
,
that
if
any
sought
singularitie
,
either
by
his
wisedome
,
or
by
his
wealth
,
or
by
fauour
of
the
people
,
hee
should
be
banished
by
the
lawe
Ostracismus
out
of
Athens
,
as
Themistocles
was
.
So
ambitious
men
in
Rome
to
get
loue
and
fauour
of
the
people
by
the
lawe
called
Lex
agraria
,
were
not

practising
his
treachery
against
the
Romane
armie

was
bound

hands
and

The
breach
of
faith
by
the
lawe
of

set
downe
,
was
euer
among
the
Romaines
most
seuerely
punished
:
in
so
much
that
the
Romaine
souldiers
stoned

,
for
that
he
denied
the
spoile
which
he
promised

The
like
is

,
that

The
Embassadors
of
Carthage
,
and
Macedonia
,
because
they
did
conspire
against
the
Romaines
contrary
to
their
league
,
were
taken
,
and
by
the
law
of
armes
iustly
slaine
.
Diuers
Embassadors
were
slaine
for
breaking
theyr
leagues
against
the
lawe
of

,
as
the
Embassadors
of
the
Romanes
were
slaine
by
the
Illyrians
,
the
Embassadors
of
the
Athenians
by

,
the

of

Persians
by
the
Macedonians
,
the
Embassadors
of
Dauid
king
of

by

not
slain
,
but
So
were
the
Embassadors
of
the
Romanes
without
cause
against
the
lawe
of
armes
,
most
iniuriously
slaine
by
the
Illyrians
,
who
were
gouerned
vnder
a
woman
,
to
the
great
reproach
of
the
Romaines
,
but
the
Romane
Embassadors
being
thus
slain
,
had
their
statues
put
vp
in
the
Oratory
,
and
their
names
written
vpon
P.
Iunius
,
&
T.
Coruncanus

but
the
Romanes
reuenged
it
to
the
losse
of
their
kingdome
.
Thus
euery
where
trechery
and
murther
was
committed
in
all
countreys
,
vnder
colour
of
leagues
and
lawes
broken
,
and
most
time
without
eyther
lawe
or
league
,
but
with
violence
and
trecherie
practised
by
many
false
stratagems
among
all
nations
.
As
Zopyrus
practised
by
a
dissembling
stratagem
to
bring
the
Persians
into

of

Of

Of
diuers
dreames
and
names
giuen
.
TWo
much
securitie
was
in
Pompey
his
souldiers
,
after
he
had
giuen
two
repulses
to
Caesars
souldiers
at
Dyrachium
,
as
Caesar
said
himself
,
the
victory
might
haue
bene
Pompeys
,
if
he
had
followed
his
good
fortune
.
So
againe
if
Pompey
had
followed
his
good
lucke
,
and
had
not
staied
the
Romane
youthes
being
fierce
to
goe
forwards
at
the
battell
at
Pharsalia
,
he
had
put
Caesar
to
greater
daunger
then
he
was
at
Dyrachium
.
So
Hannibal
was
toucht
with
that
fault
by
Hamilcar
the
Affrican
,
that
if
he
had
gone
forwards
and
brought
his
armie
after
the
battell
at
Canne
before
Rome
,
as
Scipio
Curthage
,
Rome
might
haue
bene
in
as
great
a
daunger
as
Carthage
was
.
Nothing
abused
Pompey
so
much
as
his
owne
captaines
,
flattering
him
,
and
calling
him
the
great
Agamemnon
,
king
of
kings
,
by
Domitius
,
Scypio
,
Spinther
,
and
It
should
seeme
that
Pompey
and
his
captaines
,
made
no
doubt
of
the
victory
,
for
when
his
campe
was
taken
,
his
tents
and
pauilions
were
full
of
nosegaies
,
and
garlands
of
mirtle
,
and
their
coaches
all
couered
with
flowers
,
their
tables
full
of
bowles
of
wine
,
as
men
more
readie
to
doo
sacrifice
for
ioy
before
the
victorie
,
then
armed
and
prepared
to
fight
for
the
victory

At

So
also
Tigranes
king
of
Armenia
,
was
flattered
with
his
Leiftenants
,
Captaines
,
and
other
Parasites
,
who
scoffed
and
flowted
the
Romanes

they
sported
and
made

of

some
deuiding

spoile
,
and
drawing
lots
before
the
battell
began
,
much
like
to
the
Cherussians
,
the
Sueuians
,
and
the
Sycambrians
,
who
gathered
themselues
together
in
a
great

,
they
likewise
like
the
Armenians
,
little

The
like
victorie
had
Lucullus
ouer
Tigranes
king
of
Armenia
,
whose
captaines
before
scoffed
and
flowted
Crassus
,
at
the
sight
of
this
Lucullus
triumph
,
was
afterwards
when
he
was
Consul
with
Pompey
the
great
,
so
beyond
all
measure
most
desirous
with
all
celeritie
to
take
his
iourney
against
the
Parthians
,
with
more
haste
then
good
speed
.
In
like
sort
the
sight
of
Milciades
triumphe
mooued
Themistocles
in
his
youth
to
say
,
that
he
could
not
sleepe
in
his
bed
,
before
he
had
obtained
the
like
triumph
,
and
so
he
proued
among
so
many
great
captaines
in
Greece
,
one
of
the
greatest
,
for
he
was
being
but
a
young
youth
at
the
battell
at
Plataea
,
being
the

first
But
it
seemed
that
Themistocles
with
all
celeritie
missed
to
borrowe
money
in
the
I
le
of
Andria
,
though
he
brought
two
great
and
mightie
gods
with
him
from
Athens
,
the
one
called
the
God
of
Loue
,
the
other
the
God
of
Force
,
requesting
the
Andrians
to
lend
some
money
to
please
&
to
satisfie
the
want
of
their
Gods
.
But
he
was
answered
by
the
people
of
Andria
,
that
there
were
two
as
great
goddesses
with
them
in
Andria
,
as
there
were
in
Athens
,
the
which
commaunded
the
Andrians
,
neither
to
lend
,
nor
to
giue
any
money
to
Themistocles
gods
,
saying

goddesse
of
Pouerty
weigheth
not
for

,
neither
doth
the
goddesse
of
Impossibilitie
weigh
for

The
Lacedemonians
were
not
so
religious
as
the
Athenians
were
,
for
Agesilaus
tooke
another
course
than
Themistocles
did
,
when
he
wanted
money
,
he
went
to

confines
of

to
spoile

to

made

before

went
out

he
was

of

But
Ioseph
while

he
was
amongst

a

dreamed

tolde

Ioseph

tooke
example

that

his
mother
,
for
the
Hebrew
women
gaue
such
names
to
their
children
,
as
should
containe
something
signified
by
the
name
,
not
following
the
fathers
name
,
but
one
onely
name
,
which
the
Hebrew
women
gaue
to
their
children
.
The
Romanes
had
three
or
foure
names
commonly
,
contrary
to
the
Hebrewes
,
and
besides
three
or
foure
names
which
were
proper
vnto
them
,
they
would
purchase
as
many
names
as
they
could
get
,
as
Pub.
Cornel.
Scypio
,
had
the
fourth
name
Affricanuss
for
his
conquest
ouer
Affricke
,
and
his
brother
Lu.
Scypio
,
was
surnamed
Asiaticus
,
for
the
fourth
name
,
because
hee
subdued
Asia
.
Lu.
Q.
Metellus
,
surnamed
Numidicus
,
by
his
victories
in
Numidia
.
Mummius
,
for
his
victories
in
Achaia
,
surnamed
Achaicus
.
So
the
Romanes
being
glorious
people
full
of
their
victories
,
would
possesse
as
many
names
as
they
could
haue
,
and
being
not
contented
with
so
many
names
,
they
would
haue
the
moneths
of
the
yeare
to
be
named
after
their
names
.
So
Iu.
Caesar
called
the
moneth
Quintilis
,
after
his
owne
name
Iuly
,
Augustus
the
second
Emperour
,
So
other
Emperours
imitating
them
,
as
Nero
would
haue
the
moneth
of
Aprill
after
his
name
Neronius
,
and
Domitianus
would
haue
October
named
Domitianus
.
Likewise
Claudius
wold
haue
May
called
after
his
name
Claudius
:
and
Germanicus
would
haue
September
named
Germanicus
after
his
name
.
So
the
Grecians
began
to
honor
Demetrius
in
like
sort
,
in
so
much
they
decreed
that
the
month
Manichion
which
is
Ianuary
,
shal
be
called
Dēmetrion
,
and
their
feast
Dionisia
which
was
dedicated
to
Bacchus
,
should
be
called
Demetria
,
after
Demetrius
name
,
and
that
Demetrius
,
and
his
father
king
Antigonus
,
should
haue
their
pictures
set
vp
&
carried
in
the
sacred
banner
of
Peplon
,
where
none
but
the
picture
of
Iupiter
and
Minerua
were
set
and
placed
.
Clearchus
the
tyrant
would
be
called
sonne
vnto
Iupiter
,
as
well
as
Alexander
the
great
,
so
king
Antigonus
,
because
hee
might
be
called
Bacchus
,
hee
resembled
The
Greekes
also
,
most
commonly
had
but
one
name
,
vnlesse
he
had
a
name
added
vnto
it
,
either
by
some
vertue
or
vice
noted
in
him
:
as
Pericles
for
his
eloquence
and
sweete
perswasion
,
was
surnamed
Olympius
.
Aristides
for
his
integritie
,
surnamed
the
iust
.
Antigonus
for
his
liberalitie
was
surnamed
Doson
,
and
So
likewise
the
Greekes
named
those
that
had
any
blemish
on
their
bodies
,
as
Antiochus
surnamed
Griphos
for
his
great
belly
.
Another
Antigonus
surnamed
Gonatos
,
for
that
hee
had
great
knees
.
Demetrius
,
surnamed
Polycrates
,
for
his
inuention
and
skill
of
warlike
engines
as
Elepolis
,
thereby
as
famous
welnigh
as
Archimedes
:
otherwise
the
Grecians
vsed
but
one
name
.
And
although
Agesilaus
was
a
great
souldier
,
for
skil
and
knowledge
in
warre
so
famous
,
that
hee
was
sent
from
Egipt
vnto
Greece
,
for
to
be
their
Generall
,
and
also
among
the
Persians
so
feared
,
and
among
the
Grecians
so
esteemed
,
and
yet
hee
was
called
but
Agesilaus
,
without
any
surname
of
addition
among
the
Grecians
,
neither
other
great
captaines
of
Greece
,
as
Milciades
,
Themistocles
,
Cymon
,
and
others
,
had
no
such
surnames
by
their
victories
as
the
Romanes
had
.
The
Hebrues
also
had
but
proper
names
,
&
some
had
Peter
,
Simon
the
sonne
of
Ionas
,
so
was
it
oftentimes
spoken
to
Esay
the
Prophet
,
Esay
thou
sonne
of
Amos
;
so
all
the
Iewish
Rabines
were
named
after
their
fathers
names
,
as
Iuda
the
sonne
of
Dama
,
Simeon
the
sonne
of
Gamaliel
,
Ismael
the
sonne
of
Elizei
,
but
among
the
old
Hebrewes
as
you
heard
,
they
were
so
named
as
pleased
the
mothers
.
The
Egiptians
vsed
also
Greeke
additions
to
their
names
,
as
Pto.
surnamed
Euergetes
,
for
his
good
deeds
and
benefites
to
his
countrey
.
Pto.
surnamed
Ceraunos
,
that
is
to
say
,
lightning
,
for
his
quicke
dispatch
.
Pto.
surnamed
Aetos
,
an
Eagle
for
his
swiftnesse
and
celeritie
,
and
so
Philadelphus
,
and
other
kings
and
great
men
of
Egipt
,
added
to
their
own
proper
names
Greek
surnames
.
The
surnames
of
the
last
kings
of
Egipt
began
from
a
souldiers
name
,
who
grew
so
great
among
the
Egiptians
,
that
he
strengthened
and
established
the
countrey
,
being
subdued
and
ouerthrowne
before
by
the
Persians
,
that
the
Alexandrians
so
hououred
him
after
his
So
Arsaces
a
poore
Scythian
borne
,
a
great
souldier
,
These
men
seeke
name
and
fame
on
earth
,
where
they
haue
no
citie
,
nor
place
permanent
,
but
houses
made
of
clay
,
and
forget
to
builde
immortalitie
and
eternitie
in
heauen
,
they
make
sumptuous
and
durable
tombes
for
their
bodies
,
like
the
Egiptians
,
which
make
pyramides
for
their
dead
bodies
to
dwel
for
euer
.
Some
againe
like
the
Agrigentines
,
which
build
them
such
strong
houses
as
though
they
shuld
liue
alwaies
,
and
yet
eate
&
drinke
,
as
though
they
should
die
the
next
day
.
But
we
leaue
these
builders
that
build
towers
in
the
aire
with
Nimrod
,
and
Iuorie
houses
with
Achab
,
and
would
lose
immortalitie
with
Vlisses
,
for
Ithaca
his
country
,
and
come
to
Paul
,
who
would
be
losed
from
the
bodie
and
be
with
Christ
,
and
with
Ioshua
to
fixe
our
triumphes
and
tropheys
in
Heauen
,
with
the
euerlasting
Ioshua
Christ
Iesus
the
sonne
of
God
,
who
purchased
vnto
vs
eternall
habitations
,
and
went
in
bodie
before
vs
to
prepare
for
vs
a
dwelling
place
:
to
him
therefore
with
the
father
and
the
holy
Ghost
,
be
all
honor
,
glory
and
praise
,
for
euer
.
