The
Tragicomedie
of
Serpents
.
I
Haue
promised
to
adde
something
to
my
last
little
Treatise
,
The
practise
of
pollicie
,
I
thought
I
should
write
but
of
the
pollicie
of
men
,
yet
I
haue
cause
to
speake
of
diuers
kinds
of
Serpents
,
of
Diuels
Serpents
,
of
Idols
Serpents
,
of
Image
Serpents
,
of
beasts
serpents
,
and
of
men
serpents
,
which
are
the
most
perilous
serpents
of
all
,
according
to
the
old
saying
,
Homo
homini
Lupus
,
not
only
a
Wolfe
,
but
a
Lyon
,
a
Tygre
,
a
Diuell
to
a
man
.
Hanniball
,
Hanibal
a
sworne
enemy
to
the
Romans
.
a
sworne
enemy
to
the
Romans
,
not
only
himselfe
,
but
soliciting
the
great
Antiochus
with
Camels
,
and
Pirrhus
before
him
with
his
Elephants
,
and
he
himselfe
with
serpents
and
vipers
to
throwe
in
the
faces
of
the
Roman
army
,
to
amaze
their
souldiers
,
and
to
put
them
in
fright
in
their
fight
;
Stratagems
allowed
in
warre
,
but
not
among
peaceable
christians
.
But
these
stratagems
were
of
Affrica
and
Asia
against
the
Romans
,
who
had
but
Camels
&
Elephants
for
their
chiefe
pollicy
,
with
the
which
the
Romans
became
well
acquainted
,
and
exceeded
them
in
their
owne
stratagems
,
and
ouerthrew
their
Hanniball
.
But
now
in
Rome
their
is
another
kind
of
Hanniball
,
whose
stratagems
are
furnished
with
Wolues
,
Beares
,
Dragons
,
and
Tygres
,
and
those
in
the
habit
of
men
,
that
farre
passe
Tarquine
the
proud
with
his
furious
priests
,
with
Snakes
in
one
hand
,
and
firebrands

and
their
Affrican
Hanniball
with
his
Serpents
in
one
vessell
,
and
vipers
in
the
other
;
but
these
would
haue
Lyons
in
one
hand
,
and
Vnicornes
in
the
other
.
But
we
feare
not
the
Camels
of
Asia
,
nor
the
Elephants
of
India
,
nor
the
Serpents
of
Affrick
,
neither
do
we
feare
the
Basilisks
of
Rome
,
and
the
Romish
broode
in
great
Brittane
,
which
would
faine
ride
on
Lyons
and
Vnicornes
.
For
it
was
a
long
custome
among
the
Romans
,
to
fight
with
Lyons
on
the
Theators
,
The
custome
of
Rome
.
and
with
wilde
cruell
beasts
,
that
the
Romans
became
more
cruell
then
Serpents
,
and
such
Serpents
that
Rome
and
Asia
are
full
of
them
.
Serpents
borne
in
mens
armes
in
Asia
.
In
Asia
,
they
carie
Serpents
in
their
armes
to
clense
their
aire
,
to
purifie
their
temples
,
and
to
driue
diuels
away
from
their
Townes
and
Cities
.
In
Rome
they
sent
for
Serpents
in
any
plague
time
to
Epidaurus
,
to
the
jmage
of
Esculap
:
whome
they
worshipped
in
the
forme
of
a
Serpent
,
to
heale
them
.
We
ouercame
the
old
Dragon
,
the
great
Serpent
in
Paradise
,
by
the
seede
of
the
woman
.
The
children
of
Israell
ouercame
the
serpents
of
Cadis-barne
by
looking
vpon
the
brasen
Serpent
in
that
wildernes
,
and
Moses
with
his
Hebrew
army
escaped
the
serpents
in
the
deserts
of
Ethiopia
,
by
their
continuall
enemies
,
the
birdes
Ibides
of
Egipt
.
But
we
haue
armed
serpents
,
The
armed
Serpents
of
Medea
.
engendred
of
the
serpents

,
which
Medea

where
they
carry
such
serpents
in
their
armes
,
I
meane
their
golden
and
siluer
Gods
,
to
bee
worshipped
of
men
in
the
streetes
,
these
be
the
dangerous
serpents
.
After
such
serpents
ran

after
Iacob

for

The
subiect
of
this
booke
is
to
write
of
Serpents
,
because
we
are
troubled
with
serpents
.
The
wild
Ashtree
.
that
if
they
bee
walled
round
about
with
great
fire
they
will
rather
run
through
the
fire
,
then
abide
nigh
the
Ash
tree
or
his
shaddow
.
I
wish
there
were
more
such
trees
in
great
Brittaine
,
for
trees
are
aptly
compared
to
men
;
so
are
Kings
,
Princes
and
Potentates
of
the

,
compared
to
the
hygh
&
great
Caedar
trees
in

;
Men

the

to
the

▪
the
Oliue
trees
to
the
iust
and
godly
men
;
and
Christ
himselfe
to
the
vine

;
too
many
like
the
Plantan

florishing

,
called

in

and
too
few
,
like
the
wild
ash-tree
,
to
driue
away
serpents
out
of

Brittane
.
Melancthon

&
in

,
saith
Augustine
.
These
be
serpents
by
nature
,
serpents
by
education
,
and
serpents
by
succession
,
which
shead
much
blood
,
and
cause
great
slaughter
in
England
,
Germany
,
and
Fraunce
.
It
was
not
the
great
army
of
Xerxes
at
Marathon
,
Tyrants
in
Athens
.
nor
the
great
force
of
Philip
at
Chaeronea
,
that
so
frighted
the
Athenians
,
as
the
bloody
streetes
in
Athens
,
where
the
children
were
forced
to
daunce
in
the
bloud
of
their
parents
,
in
the
tyme
of
the
30.
Tyrants
,
and
yet
Thrasibulus
banished
these
tyrants
from
Athens
.
Neither
was
it
the
tyrany
of
Antiochus
,
Sesostris
in
Herodot
.
King
of
Cyria
,
nor
King
Susacus
of
Egipt
,
that
so
feared
the
Iews
,
as
the
bloudy
streets
in
Ierusalem
,
where
one
neighbor
might
wash
his
hands
in
the
bloud
of
another
in
the
time
of
Manasses
.
Yet
Iosias
deliuered
Ierusalem
.
But
these
serpents
,
these
Harpeis
,
these
Crocodiles
determined
to
leaue
neither
parents
,
children
,
or
neighbors
aliue
,
but
themselues
to
daunce
in
our
bloud
.
Such
a
daunce
delighted
Nabuchodonozer
in
Babilon
of
Misael
,
Sidraach
,
and
Abednago
.
Such
a
daunce
of
Herodias
delighted
Herod
,
for
Iohn
Baptists
head
.
And
such
a
daunce
would
haue
pleased
the
Antichrist
of
Rome
,
if
their
Roman
Tragedy
begun
,
had
not
ended
like
a
Brittane
comedy
;
and
if
their
Egiptian
daunce
begunne
by
Pharo
,
had
not
ended
like
the
tryumphant
daunce
by
Iacob

Not
Sylla
which
made

riuer
Tiber
ouerflowe

Roman
citizens
;
not
Caligula
with
his
poisoned
cups
,
that
sought
to
destroy
the
consuls
,
the
Senators
,
and
the
Magistrates
of
Rome
;
not
Nero
,
which
reioyced

sang
when
he
saw
Rome
on
fire
;
nor
al
turkish
tyranny
,
all
Pharoes
cruelties
,
were
but
iests

plaies
in

of
these
furious
Traytors

or
the
hauing
of
the
Roman
Valerianus

Sapor
in

But
these
Serpents
forgat
that
Pharo
could
not
harme
Moses
,
neither
Saul
destroy
Dauid
,
they
forgat
though
all
Egipt
was
punished
with
terrible
&
horrible
plagues
,
yet
the
land
of
Gosen
where
Israell
dwelt
,
was
not
troubled
with
their
frogs
,
locusts
,
flies
,
lice
,
neither
with
darknes
,
bloud
or
slaughter
,
they
forgat
what
God
sayd
to
his

,

But

way
neither
for
the
sword
nor
the
word
of
God
committed
to
the
Prince
,
But
how
shall
we
helpe
this
and
purifie
great
Brittane
of
these
monstrous
broode
,
The
brood
of
Enachims
.
the
brood
of
Enachims
?
they
will
not
come
to
heare
of
God
in
his
church
,
as
the
Ethiopian
Eunuch
went
to
Phillip
;
they
will
not
with
Naman
the
Syrian
be
cleansed
of
their
leprosy
,
Damasco
,
Abanah
,
and
Pharpar
;
they
haue
water
in
Rome
,
aquam
mercurij
,
&
aquam
benedictam
.
They
had
rather
drinke
of
the
puddles
of
Bethauen
with
Ieroboam
,
The
puddles
of
Ieroboam
.
than
of
the
well
of
Bethell
with
Iacob
,
they
had
rather
trust
to
the
mountaines
of
Samaria
,
than
to
be
rich
in
Sion
.
How
shall
this
be
redrest
and
cleare
our
country
of
them
?
If
,
Diuers
kinds
of
purifications
among
the
Gentiles
.
as
among
the
Romans
who
bound
such
in
bags
and
threwe
them
in
Tyber
,
too
many
should
bee
drowned
.
If
,
as
Xerxes
among
the
Persians
by
decymacion
,
too
many
should
be
slaine
.
If
,
as
Vlisses
among
the
Graecians
,
with
fire
and
brimstone
,
too
many
should
be
burned
.
Better
rather
as
Theseus
did
,
to
seeke
out
their
labyrinths
,
&
to
finde
these
late
brood
of
Minotaurus
,
that
seeke
to
feed
vpon
the
bloud
of
their
countrymen
,
like
Gorgons
.
The
false
Ephramites
could
not
pronounce
Schiboleth
.
And
to
vse
them
as
Ieptha
did
the
false
Ephramites
,
if
they
could
not
pronounce
Schiboleth
like
true
Israelites
,
they
should
not
passe
ouer
Iorden
to
gather
a
head
againe
against
Israel
.
So
they
shall
not
seeke
a
Roman
Cateline
for
their
Captaine
,
nor
a
Spanish
Viriatus
for
their
leader
.
If
we
may
not
reueng
our
wrongs
,
as
Dauid
did
against
the
Ammonites
,
Hamilcars
dreame
.
As
sometime
Hamilcar
Generall
for
the
Carthagenians
,
laying
siege
to
Siracusa
,
an
jmage
appeared
in
his
dreame
,
and
told
Hamilcar
he
should
sup
the
next
night
in
Siracusa
:
so
he
did
as
a
prisoner
and
captiue
by
the
Siracusans
,
and
not
as
a
Captaine
with
his
Carthaginians
;
that
selfe-same
Image
,
that
Serpent
appeared
to
this
treacherous
crue
,
which
openly
pronounce
with
Seba
the
Traytor
,
what
haue
we
to
do
with
the
house
of
Iudah
,
Cyrus
and
Caesars
dreames
.
These
be
Volitantes
Serpentes
,
flying
Serpents
dreaming
like
Cambises
,
that
hee
was
lifted
vp
aboue
the
clouds
,
and
sodenly
thought
that
hee
fell
from
the
clowdes
to
the
earth
.
Like
Iulius
Caesar
,
who
the
night
before
hee
was
slaine
in
the
Senate
,
Cyrus
and
Caesars
dreames
.
dreamed
that
he
sat
hard
by
Iupiters
seat
;
but
sodainly
he
fell
flat
on
his
face
to
the
earth
:
with
the
like
dreames
are
these
Serpents
fed
.
Not
as
Ezechiel
which
was
caried
in
a
Vision
from
Babilon
to
Hierusalem
,
Inter

And
God
shewed

their

Paul
also
was
caried
either
in

,
or
without
the
bodie
he
knew
not
vnto
the
third
Heauens
,
and
sawe
many
thinges
which
was
not
lawfull
for
Paul
to
speake
of
.
But
Ezechiel
and
Paul
had
better
supporters
to
carie

than
either
Cyrus
or
Caesar
,
they
dreamed
that
they
fell
not
when
the
one
was
caried
from
the
earth
,
to
the
third
heauen
;
and
the
other
caried
from
Babilon
to
Iudah
,
and
lest
on
a
Mountaine
in
Israel
.
But
these
dream
of
Images
,
and
Idols
,
like
De:
Brutus
,
which
dreamed
of
such
an
Image
,
that
neuer
left
him
till
Brutus
fell
vpon
his
owne
sword
at
Philippos
.
Plut.
in
Bruto
.
And
such
an
Image
appeared
to
Hanibal
,
that
neuer
gaue
him
ouer
vntill
Hanibal
had
poysoned
himselfe
in
Bythinia
.
Plut.
in
Hanib
.
It
was
then
a
world
of
Images
amonge
Heathens
and
Pagans
,
and
amonge
Christians
at
this
time
too
many
,
though
they
know
,
Confundantur
qui
sculptilia
adorant
.
I
must
needs
borrow
some
termes
of
the
Heralds
,
and
as
they
describe
the
natures
of
Lions
being
regal
beasts
.
So
must
I
describe
the
nature
of
Serpents
,
being
Diuels
themselues
,
and
beasts
for
the
Diuels
some
dormient
Serpents
;
Descriptions
of
some
Serpents
.
some
cowching
,
some
walking
Serpents
,
and
some
flying
Serpents
that
soare
so
hye
,
that
at
their
fall
,
they
are
dasht
in
peeces
.
Had
Saul
feared
God
,
and
not
consulted
with
these
Serpents
,
Dauid
,
Asa
,
Iosaphat
,
consult
with
Samuel
,
while
Samuel
liued
,
and
not
after
hee
died
:
Saul
consulted
with
Coniurers
&
Witches
.
Saul
should
aske
counsell
of
the
Prophets
,
and
not
of
Witches
and
Images
,
not
with
Phaetanissa
a
Witch
at
Endor
,
but
of
Huldah
a
Prophetesse
at
Hierusalem
,
as
Iosias
did
.
Iacob
buried
his
wiues
Idols
the
Gods
of
Laban
at
Sichem
.
King
Asa
burned
to
ashes
,
and
threw
into
Cedron
his
mothers
Idoll
Priapus
.
Young
Iosias
left
not
an
Altar
,
an
Image
,
an
Idoll
,
a
groue
within
Iudah
,
destroyed
the
greene
Groues
in
Mount
Oliues
called
the
Mount
of
corruption
.
These
were
such
Kings
as
should
be
imitated
,
who
clensed
Angeus
hall
in
Israel
,
For
such
Kings
the
Prophet
Elizeus
wept
and
extinguished
the
fierie
furnace
of
Egipt
in
Iudah
:
and
not
such
as
Triphon
,
that
killed
his
master
King
Antiochus
;
nor
such
as
Hazae●
that
strangled
his
Maister
Benhadad
.
England
of
late
was
not
a
little
frighted
,
England
late
frighted
.
when
the
Hispaniards
with
their
great
Armadoes
laden
with
weapons
and
armor
,
came
fully
perswaded
to
make
an
end
of
England
.
But
he
that
destroied
the
first-borne
of
Egipt
,
from
the
highest
to
the
lowest
,
destroyed
also
Senacheribs
Armie
,
being
a
hundred
fower-score
and
fiue
thousand
Assirians
.
And
the
same
Angell
daunted
the
bragges
of
the
Spaniards
,
with
the
like
reuenge
vppon
themselues
,
which
they
thought
to
doe
vnto
others
.
The
Sunne
,
Truely
these
were
three
great
Victories
without
blood
or
sword
drawne
:
Philistines
,
Hitherto
hath
the
Lord
holpen
vs
:
and
pitched
there
a
stone
in
remembrance
of
Victorie
,
and
named
the
place
Lapis
adiutorij
.
So
Ioshua
pitched
a
stone
vnder
an
Oake
at
Sichem
,
The
maner
of
Couenants
among
the
old
Hebrewes
.
as
a
couenant
between
him
and
the
people
.
So
Iacob
gathered
a
heape
of
stones
,
as
a
witnesse
between
Laban
and
himselfe
.
Wee
must
likewise
pitch
a
stone
,
Euen
that
stone
which
the
Builders
reiected
,
which
to
the
Iewes
was
a
stumbling-blocke
,
and
to
the
Gentiles
folly
,
euen
that
stone
must
be
our
Angularis
lapis
.

We
must
not
be
like
Philip
of
Macedon
,
after
his
great
Victorie
at
Chaeronea
ouer
the
Graecians
,
who
waxed
so
proude
and
insolent
,
that
he
was
sharpely
reprehended
of
that
noble
Prince
Archidamus
,
King
Philip
taunted
of
Archidamus
.
Agisilaus
sonne
,
saying
,
that
his
shadowe
was
no
longer
after
the
victorie
,
than
it
was
before
his
victorie
.
Neither
must
we
answere
as
Epaminondas
,
being
asked
what
was
the
greatest
ioy
hee
euer
had
in
the
world
;
The
answere
of
Epaminondas
.
he
sayd
,
Leutrica
victoria
,
the
Victorie
of
Leutricke
.
All
victories
come
from
God
.
In
truth
of
our
victories
we
ought
to
reioice
,
and
to
giue
thankes
vnto
God
.
And
wee
must
put
away
all
other
stones
,
as
our
Idols
,
and
Images
,
the
Gods
of
the
Gentiles
,
being
Lapidij
Dij
;
and
build
all
buildings
vpon
that
stone
which
is
,
lapis
Angularis
.
This
was
the
cause
why
Moses
was
sent
an
Embassabor
to
Pharo
,
to
deliuer
Israel
from
double
bondage
,
where
Israel
serued
Pharo
in
slauerie
,
and
the
Diuel
in
Idolatry
.
This
ought
and
should
cause
vs
to
serue
God
in
true
and
sincere
Religion
,
and
not
in
Images
,
and
Idols
,
as
doe
the
Heathens
in
the
engendred
Serpents
of
Medea
.
Vengeance
is
in
my
heart
,
and
I
will
tread
them
in
mine
anger
,
and
stampe
them
vnder
foot
in
my
wrath
.
If
you
compare
Bozra
with
Rome
,
Idumeans
and
Romans
compared
.
and
the
Idumeans
with
the
Romans
,
you
shall
find
the
one
to
claime
their
chiefe
Religion
from
Abraham
by
heritage
;
and
the
other
from
Peter
in
like
sort
by
succession
;
and
yet
both
worship
Idols
.
Who
durst
say
,
Zedechia
one
of
Baals
false
Prophets
.
that
Micah
was
a
true
Prophet
to
Ahab
.
If
Micah
so
say
,
Zedechia
will
strike
him
before
Achab.
If
Ieremie
prophecie
to
the
King
of
Iudah
,
the
noblemen
of
Iudah
will
set
Ieremie
by
the
heeles
.
But
they
will
hearken
what
Zedechia
,
There
bee
(
I
doubt
)
many
that
so
say
of
England
,
Scotland
,
and
Ireland
.
The
Romane
Achab
will
not
bee
satisfied
as
the
Ammonites
were
with
the
Embassadors
of
Israel
,
The
Embassadors
of
Israel
abused
by
the
Amonites
.
by
cutting
one
side
of
their
beards
away
,
and
one
halfe
of
their
garments
,
and
so
in
contempt
of
Dauid
sent
backe
againe
to
Hierusalem
.
But
they
will
haue
all
Dauids
beard
,
all
his
longe
garments
:
yea
his
crowne
and
all
his
Kingdomes
,
or
they
will
hange
with
Achitophell
.
They
will
betray
their
friends
,
their
countrey
,
their
King
and
Soueraigne
Lord
,
or
they
will
burst
out
their
guts
with
Iudas
.
They
would
haue
all
England
,
either
to
Rome
,
or
to
Spaine
;
Hispaine
in

and

This
practise
hath
beene

when

then

Cursed

The

long

in

,
to
curse

So
Ioshua
cursed

that
would

And
Moses
cursed
those
that
transgressed
the
commaundements

with

This
is
(

the

that

had

that

So

saying

If

The

answered
,
they

So
the
Romanes
might
not
endure
any
strange

in

;
so
they
denied

And
therefore
the

I

But
since
they
are
growen
infinite
among
the

and
the

,
hauing
as

Gods
as
there
bee

so
many

,
The

And
in

,
Tot

For
their

and
their

are
so
many
,
that
they
semed
to
be
Populus

,
like
people
made

,
and
yet
none
of
these
nations
will
suffer
any
strange
Gods
to
bee
worshipped
in
their
Countrey
,
besides
their
Gods
.
And
why
then
should
Christians
(
being
sharpely
chidden
by
the
Prophet
)
accept
of
their
strange
Gods
,
Many
also

the

I

IN

Crassus

there
dwelt
in

a
cruell

Many
put
out

so
boldly
,
that
they
loose

put

Proud
Nabuchadnezar
that

,
Is

He
supped
as
a
beast
among

that
night
in
the
fields
,
and
not
as
the
great
Nabuchadnezar
King
of

.
Many
such
beasts
there
be
,
that
rather
will
with
the
prodigall
Sonne
feed
vpon
huskes
with
swine
(
as
all
feeding
is
which
is
not
fed
with
the
word
of
God
)
than
to
seeke
with
the
woman
of
Canaan
,
to
be
fedde
with
the
crummes
that
fell
from
Christs
table
.
These
had
rather
serue
Moloch
with
his
priests
Chaemarims

and
to
drinke
of
their

,
Chaemarims
Moloch

than

These

to

,
to
whome
are
reserued
at

,
the

and
these

no

Ieremie

For
all
the
perswasion
of

,
he
could
not
perswade
the
children
of

from

they
would
serue
the

and
though

they
had
the

Like

hauing

This
is

This

I

I

what

it

The

the

The
Athenians
could
haue
no
other
answere

the
Oracle
,
but
the

was
most

a

how

Plut.

There
is
an
Epigram
of
Beza
of
some
contention
between
a
Painter
and
a
Baker
;
the
Painter
bragged
that
his
hand
could
set
in
liuely
colors
,
the
Heauens
,
the
Earth
,
Angels
,
Gods
,
and
Men.
The
Baker
sayd
,
He
could
make
loaues
of
bread
;
assoone
as
the
Priest
touch
them
,
they
are
become
Gods
,
whom
heauens
,
earth
,
men
,
and
Angels
must
worship
.
Thou
makest
God
,
for
the
bellies
,
said
the
Painter
.
And
thou
makest
Gods
for
the
eyes
,
sayd
the
Baker
;
A
Priest
was
called
for
a
Iudge
,
and
the
Priest
was
angry
both
with
the
Painter
&
the
Baker
,
to
publish
so
sacred
a
secret
,
and
said
,
pictor

Let
the
Painter
paint
,
and
the
Baker
bake
;
the
Priest
makeeth
Gods
:
For
as
Rome
then
was
full
of
Idols
and
Images
made
of
stones
,
wood
,
marble
,
and
iuorie
:
so
Rome
now
is
full
of
Gods
,
if
it

themselues
say

The

7
verses

Quos

Bernard
would
know

the
Diuell
what
were
the
verses
.
The
Diuell
denied
that

Thou

The

Bernard

and
if
thy

I

The
Diuell
(
after
two
denials
said
)
that
they
were
the
7
Psalmes
.
So
say
the
papists
;
Superstitious
Papists
.
if
you
say

fiue
Pater

and
fiftie
Aue

,
with
the
repeating
of

three

they
call

,
you
may
doe
what
you
list
all
that

but
it
must
be

For
as
the
Grecians
call
all
Nations
barbarous
,
but
such
as
could
speake
Greeke
.
So
did
the
Romanes
call
also
barbarous
all
but
those
that
could
speake
Latine
,
for
at
their
first
sayling
to
the
Affrican
warres
,
they
called
the
Spaniards
,
the
Carthagenians
,
and
the
Affricans
barbarous
,
for
that
they
knew
not
the
Latine
tongue
.
And
so
in
the
time
of
Cicero
they
called
the
Gaules
(
their
next
neighbors
)
barbarous
,
Cic.
ad
Q.

bicause
they
could

The
like
reason
haue
the
Papists
,
that
all
Religion
is
barbarous
that
is
not
sayd
in
the
Latine
tongue
.
The
Hebrewes
thought
both
Greekes
and
Latines
to
bee
barbarous
,
and
that
they
ought
not
to
speake
nor
to
write
illam
sanctam
,
&
sacram
linguam
,
That
holy
and
sacred
tongue
;
For
,
they
sayd
,
That
God
himselfe
,
the
Patriarkes
,
the
Prophets
,
and
the
Apostles
,
onely
spake
this
tongue
.
The
Greekes
brags
also
,
that
Iupiter
spake
first
the
Greeke
tongue
at
Athens
.
The
Latines
bragge
,
The
bragge
of
the
Romanes
.
that
the
Muses
gaue
such
sweet
grace
to
their
tongue
,
that
all
the
world
seeke
to
learne
the
Latine
tongue
.
With
such
superstitious
people
,
the
Diuell
is
most
busie
,
The
second
question
,
Where
was
the
Earth
higher
than
all
the
Heauens
?
He
and
answered
,
Where

Three

For

But

These

That

watching

So
these

accompanie

and
the

imagined
they
were

therefore
.
It
is
to
bee

that
the

haue
their
Crucifixe

their

their

in
any

fact

or
in

they
take

as

had

animate

These
therefore
are
not

lest
they
deceiue
vs

as
the
people
called
Iapyges
in

,
who
vnder
colour
of
yeelding
certaine
Townes

Villages
,
and
some
number
of
souldiers
in
pleadges
of
their
submission
to
Publ
:
Licinius
the
Romane
Proconsul
:
these
souldiers
were
placed
in
the
rereward
of
the
armie
,
hauing
agreed
,
that
when
these
people
came
to
submit
themselues
on
both
sides
the
armie
;
and
also
they
of
the
rereward
fell
suddenly
vpon
the
Romanes
,
that
many
were
slaine
,
and
the
Generall
hardly
escaped
.
These
Ismalites
are
backt
with
Rome
on

one
side
,
King
Philip
of
Macedon
the
last
,
doubting
that
his
souldiers
durst
not
abide
the
great
hoasts
of
the
Scithians
,
appointed
certaine
horsemen
to
backe
the
timorous
Macedonians
,
and
commanded
them
not
to
let
one
liue
that
would
flee
from
their
company
.
But
the
Britanes
being
better
backt
than
King
Philips
armie
were
,
Britanes
better
backt
than
the
Macedonians
.
and
stronger

as
Iosephus
saith
,
yea
,
then
either

yet
wee
may
not
trust
neither
Friers
,
nor
Monkes
which
are
now
called
Iesuits
and
Seminaries
,
the
onely
cause
of
all
sedition
and
quarrels
.
And
therefore
was
Heraclitus
requested
by
some
of
his
friends
to
make
some
speech
in
the
pulpit
,
Heraclitus
sermon
.
to
perswade
loue
,
friendship
,
concord
and
amitie
among
the
people
,
being
at
variance
by
some
seditious
persons
that
loue
discord
.
Heraclitus
knowing
the
cause
of
this
discord
and
varience
,
went
vp
to
the
pulpit
,
and
called
for
a
cup
of
cold
water
,
Plut.
de
garul
.
and
a
handfull
of
flowre
or
meale
,
and
mingled
it
together
,
and
dranke
it
,
and
came
down
without
further
speech
.
Some
of
his
friends
said
that
his
sermon
was
very
short
,
&
said
it
was
a
dum
sermon
,
yea
said
Heraclitus
,
short
speeches
and
dum
shewes
perswade
most
,
if
men
vnderstand
it
;
omes
seditiones
ex
luxu
nasci
,
vnderstand
that
the
water
&
the
mingled
meale
,
that
I
drank
in
the
pulpit
,
are
as
much
as
the
words
I
spake
,
that
all
seditions
grow
of
too
much
wealth
and
of
abundance
.
There
was
an
old
man
in
Greece
,
called
Cleanthes
,
which
alwaies
brauled

chid

his

Theodectes
asked
Cleanthes
with

he
so
brauld

chid
awaies
?
with
an
old
friend
of
mine
said
Cleanthes
,
which
hath
a
white
beard
and
a
graye
head
.
These
gray
heads
&
white
beards
,
which
we
haue
in

Britane
,
might
find
their
owne
falts
,
as
well
as
Cleanthes
did
;
if
they
were
as
carefull
of
their

,
as
Philetas
was
of

or
Cinesias
was

And
of
another

was
so
long

so

,
that
he
was

with
strong
barkes
of

about

lest
he
should

These
(
I

commaunded

solemnized
in

of
the

and
tryumphes

remembred
his

Kings

These

the

In

Dagon
,
the

the

;
and
in
such
was
Benhadad
a
drunken
King
of
Syria
slaine

32
Kings

Of
such
drunken
Feasts
the

saith

were
drunken
with
wine

that
they
fayled

Therfore
we

In

somtime
to

No

I

to

that
whatsoeuer
thou
sekest

I

Destroy
then
Lampsachus
,
said
Anaximenes
,
His
request
being
denyed
,
Lampsachus
was
saued
.
This
Embassage
was
better
performed
to
Alexander
by
Anaximenes
,
then
the
Embassage
of
Aeschines
to
King
Philip.
This
Orator
being
sent
from
Athens
to
King
Philip
of
Macedon
,
Plut.
in
Demosthene

at
his
returne

,
hee
much
commended
Philip
for

for
his

for
much
bearing
of

Demosthenes
tooke
vp

That
he
made
a

of
King
Philip
for
his
beautie
,
a
babling
Sophister
for
his
eloquence
,
and
a
Spunge
for
his
drinking
:
you
should
haue
done
as
Demades
did
,
being
then
as
his
prisoner
,
with
diuers
other
citizens
of
Athens
,
King
Philip
reprehended
of
Demades
for
his
drunkenesse
.
seeing
Philip
crowned
with
garlands
in
his
robes
,
and
too
much
reioysing
in
his
drinke
of
his
victories
ouer
his
Captaines
and
prisoners
of
Greece
;
Demades
boldly
sayd
,
Art
not
thou
King
Philip
ashamed
whome
Greece
made
their
Generall
,
like
Agamemnon
thou
to
make
thy selfe
like
bibbing
Thersites
?
with
such
taunts
as
Demades
made
Philip
to
cast
off
his
crowns
,
his
garlands
,
and
his
roabes
,
and
for
verie
shame
to
dismisse
the
poore
Greekes
his
prisoners
,
with
Demades
to
go
free
to
Athens
,
and
other
Cities
of
Greece
.
The
like
is
read
of
Polemon
a
gallant
Gentleman
of
Athens
,
Polemon
reduced
from
his
drunkennesse
by
Anaxagoras
.
but
being
drunke
,
rushed
in
his
drunkenes
into
Anaxagoras
schoole
at
lector
time
:
he
perceiuing
that
Polemon
was
beastly
&
shameles
drunken
,
Anaxagoras
altered
his
daies
Lector
to
speake
of
drunkennesse
,
in
such
sort
,
that
Anaxagoras
made
Polemon
as
shamefast
of
his
drunkenes
,
as
Demades
did
king
Philip
,
both
made
to
cast
off
their
Crownes

The

know
not
which
to
preferre
,
Philip
of

his

,
or
Xerxes

pleasure
:
King
Xerxes
appointed
pensions

great
rewards
for
them
that
were
named
nouae
voluptatis
repertores
,
that
could
inuent
and
find
out
new
kinde
of
delights

pleasures
.
King
Philip
gaue
much
money
to
any
man
that
would
betray
great
Cities
and
Townes
,
and
would
after
giue
those
Townes
and
Cities
to
those
that
would
betray
Countreys
and
Kingdomes
.
Caesar
suspecting
the
faith
and
promise
of
the
Egiptians
to
be
flatterie
,
gaue
himselfe
to
feasting

wanne
all
Asia
,
tanquam
Victor
,
as
a
Conquerour
;
Alexander
enquired
for
good
Souldiers
;
Philip
sought
good
siluer
.
Like
Dionisius
the
Tyrant
,
that
asked
his
familiar
and
dere
friend
Antiphones
,
where
,
&
how
he
might
get
some
money
?
At
Athens
sayd
Antiphones
,
where
the
Statues
and
Images
of
Harmodius
and
Aristogiton
are
made
of
pure
siluer
;
for
that
they
kill
Pysistratus
the
Tyrant
:
that
bold
speech
cost
Antiphones
his
life
.
Plutarch
recites
a
Historie
of
Dionisius
barbor
,
who
hearing
in
his
shop
many
attending
their
washing
and
trimming
,
Three
great
Tyrants
.
that
Dionisius
,
Anton:
Comodus
,
and
Alexander
Pheraeus
,
and
especially
Dionisius
,
and
his
sonne
,
was
the
most
cruell
Tyrant
.
Say
you
so
sayd
his
barbor
?
Sub
cuius
iugulo

teneo
nouaculum
:
he
was
hanged
for
his
speech
In

But
Dionisius
the
Father
was
slaine
by
the
people
,
and
Dionysius
the
Sonne
expelled
out
of
Scicilia
by
Dion
a
Noble
man
in

,
by
the
Councell
of
Plato
.
That
was
the
cause
why
Philippides
the
Poet
refused
to
be
of
King
Lysimachus
Councell
,
being
in
such
grace
and
fauor
with
Lysimachus
,
that
the
King
spake
with
Philippides
,
Quid

nothing
said
the
poore
poet
,
but
only
this

Orontes

Persian

cast
out

with

Artaxerxes

The

would

the
fauour
of

to

so
might

Valentinianus

asked
another

that

that

And
yet
better
is
an
euill
Prince
hauing

faithfull

,
than
wicked
and
false
subiects
with
a
good
Prince
.
Had
Saul
but
tenne
such
as
Samuel
,
as
he
had
tenne
Thousand
Doegs
about
him
,
no
doubt
he
had
obeyed
God
,
and
serued
him
better
,
and
gouerned
Israel
wiser
.
Had
Dionisius
the
Tyrant
entertained
but
Ten
such
like
Plato
to
tell
him
true
,
as
he
had
ten
Hundred
like
Aristippus
to
flatter
him
,
he
had
not
need
to
be
guarded
with
armed
men
,
and
to
say
to
his
son
,
Haec
adamantina

,
God
would
haue
but
tenne
good
and
godly
in
Sodome
,
and
Sodome
should
bee
saued
.
Agamemnon
wished
but
tenne
such
as
Naestor
to
vanquish
all
his
enemies
in
Phrygia
,
and
sette
the
Greekes
at
libertie
to
returne
to
Greece
againe
.
And
yet
Saul
a
wicked
King
,
did
many
good
things
by
the
perswasion
of
Samuel
.
And
King
Ioas
while
Iohoida
liued
,
forsooke
not
God
nor
his
lawes
.
And
Dionisius
the
Tyrant
abstained
from
much
tyrannie
,
Plut.
in
Dione
.
by
the
councell
of
Plato
.
But
Saul
had
not
so
many
Chusai
,
as
he
had
Achitophels
.
Dionisius
had
not
so
many
Platoes
to
tell
him
truth
,
as
he
had
of
Aristippus
to
flatter
him
.
Plato
asked
Dionisius
,
why
he
went
so
guarded
?
Dionisius
answered
Plato
,
Tarquinius
Sextus
,
&
what
Thrasibulus
willed
Periander
to
do
,
In
spicarum
de

:
but
all
these
damned
stratagems
were
to
effect
tyrannie
,
as
you
read
before
.
But
King
Antigonus
reprehended
his
Sonne
,
that
handled
his
Subiects
roughly
,
saying
,
Doest
not
thou

that

to

These

Of
such
Menedemus
the

sayd
,
That

that

they

and
after

,
they

and
streight
after
they
thought
themselues
to
be

philosophers
,
but
at

prooued
verie
Idiots
.
Many

so
some

Beda
our
Countrey-man
being
at
Rome
,
was
requested
by
some
Schoole-master
in
a
scoffe
,
to
know
what
meant
these
foure
letters
,
S.
P.
Q.
R.
Beda
dissembled
out

sayd
,
Stultus

Foolish

seeke
to

Rome
,
yea
,
too
many
seek
out
Rome
in
England
,
and
too
many
would
willingly
build
Rome
in
England
.
Such
a
Schoolemaister
was
Appion
in
Alexandria
that
reioysed
to
make
discord
,
This
seditious
Schoole-maister
Appion
was
more
esteemed
in
Rome
of
both
the
Emperours
Claudius
and
Nero
,
Ioseph
lib.

in
Appion
.
in
his
Embassage
for
the
Egiptians
,
than
Philo
that
learned
Iewe
,
was
on
the
behalfe
of
the
people
of
God
the
Iewes
.
Of
such
Emperours
Claudius
Iester
was
woont
to
to
say
often
to
his
Maister
,
that
all
the
good
Emperours
of
Rome
,
might
be
written
vpon
a
signet
of
a
Ring
,
and
so
of
good
Popes
might
be
sayd
,
as
was
of
Pius
Quintus
,
when
hee
dyed
Inter
tot
pontifices
tantum
quinque
fuisse
pios
.
A
stratageme
of
a
Schoolemaster
.
Another
Schoole-master
in
Phaliscus
,
that
came
to
Camillus
,
and
so
bragged
that
hee
would
and
could
bring
the
whole
Citie
vnto
Camillus
hand
.
How
said
Camillus
?
Behold
,
all
the
Noble-mens
Sonnes
I
yeeld
to
your
hand
,
and
so
shall
they
yeeld
the
Citie
for
their
Children
.
Many
such
braggers
are
,
and
say
as
a
certain
Grecian
did
of
his
Countrey
,
that
the
Hebrewes
had
but
one
wise
man
which
was
Salomon
;
the
Romans
had
but
two
wise
men
Cato
and
Laelius
;
but
we
Grecians
haue
in
Greece
seuen
.
Yea
,
(
sayd
another
)
all
the
world
knew
Salomon
to
be
wise
;
all
Rome
knew
Cato
and
Laelius
to
be
wise
;
but
you
Greeks
make
your selues
wise
,
yet
all
the
world
besides
call
you
Children
.
So
Asoches
a
priest
of
Memphis
,
spake
vnto
Solons
face
,
Semper
pueriestis
graeci
.
Aristotle
thought
it
strange
,
that
Socrates
was
iudged
by
the
Oracle
to
be
the
wisest
man
in
Greece
,
Why
was
Socrates
called
the
wisest
man
in
Greece
.
sithence
he
studied
no
natural
philosophy
,
but
morall
.
Plato
thought
that
he
was
so
iudged
,
for
that
Socrates
said
,
he
knew
nothing
,
and
sought
not
by
his
studie
,
but
to
profite
his
countrey
Greece
.
And
so
it
seemed
by
his
verse
taken
out
of
Homer
in
euery
place
,
Gell.
lib.
14.
cap.
16.
and
in
euerie
companie
by
Socrates
vsed
,
aedibus
in
nostris
quae

prauagerantur
,
for
where
families
are
well
brought
vp
,
and
Cities
well
gouerned
,
there
the
Common
wealth
must
needs
flourish
.
Socrates
prooued
wiser
by
his
morall
philosophy
,
than
Aristotle
did
by
his
naturall
philosophie
,
to
trauaile
and
to
studie
for
such
naturall
causes
,
as
he
could
neuer
attaine
vnto
,
Quae
supra
nos
,
nihil
ad
nos
,
as
in
his
booke
,
De
caelo
&
mundo
,
&
de
anima
,
hee
much
erred
.
For
he
could
neuer
finde
out
the
cause
,
Plin.
lib.
4.
cap.
9.
why
the
Riuer
Euripus
should
flow
7
times
,
and
ebbe
7
times
in
one
naturall
day
,
and
yet
for
three
daies
in
euerie
moneth
,
neither
ebbed
nor
flowed
for
that
he
could
not
satisfie
his
mind
in
finding
out
the
cause
thereof
,
threw
himselfe
headlong
into
the
Riuer
Euripus
,
saying
,
Quia
te
non
capio
,
tu
me
capies
.
The
like
is
written
of
Homer
,
for
that
hee
could
not
satisfie
himselfe
about
a
ridiculous
probleme
of
Fishers
obiected
to
him
,
hee
also
died
as
Aristotle
died
.
But
this
seemeth
rather
a
Fable
,
than
a
true
Historie
,
if
Gellius
may
beleeued
better
than
Plinie
.
For
Aristotle
at
his
death
,
Theophrastus
succeeded
Aristotle
in
Athens
.
being
requested
by
his
Schollers
and
friends
to
knowe
who
should
succeed
him
in
his
place
in
Athens
?
he
answered
,
They
should
know
streight
;
so
within
a
while
hee
called
for
a
cup
of
Rhodian
wine
:
after
hee
had
tasted
it
,
Truely
,
Gell.
lib.
13.
cap.
5.
(
sayd
Aristotle
)
this
is
a
verie
good
sharpe
wine
:
and
after
a
little
time
called
for
a
cup
of
Lesbian
wine
,
and
sayd
,
both
excellent
good
wines
,
but
the
Lesbian
wine
is
more
pleasant
,
than
the
Rhodian
.
By
this
gentle
meanes
,
his
Schollers
knew
that
he
preferred
Theophrastus
before
M●nedemus
.
But
it
is
neither
Rhodian
,
nor
Lesbian
wine
,
vnlesse
it
be
made
of
Romane
grapes
,
Papists

can
delight
a

,
for
as
the
Idumeans
claimed
heritage
of
Religion
from
Abraham
by
succession
,
so
the
papists
would
faine
claime
succession
in
religion
from
Peter
,
&
they
will
haue
none
to

this
but

But
as
Themistocles
being
asked

he

Euen

Yet
Isocrates

Oration
of

they

and
much
commending

made

though

was

Aristotle
in

time
doth
report
,
that
the
Mathematicians
made
of
the
whole
Circuit
of
the
earth
,
Quis
mensus
est
terram
,
who
hath
measured
the
earth
.
There
is
nothing
so
strange
,
nothing
so
absurd
,
but
some
kinde
of
philosophers
will
defend
it
,
and
maintaine
it
.
So
two
of
the
greatest
philosophers
in
their
time
,
the
one
saith
,
That
a
man
might
be
borne
naturally
out
of
the
earth
.
So
saith
Auicenna
,
Hominem
posse
produci
naturaliter
ex
terra
.
Auerrois
held
an
opinion
,
that
a
Mayd
might
conceiue
without
knowledge
of
man
in
a
Bath
,
the
words
are
,
Sine
viri
commixtione
in
balneo
.
And
yet
not
more
absurd
in
philosophie
,
as
the
assertion
of
the
papists
in
their
Diuinitie
of
the
presence
of
Christs
naturall
bodie
.
But
the
papists
which
haue
as
many
Gods
as
the
Egiptians
had
,
Plut.
de
Iside
&
Osiride
.
they
must
haue
as
many
Sphinxes
in
temples
,
as
the
Egiptians
,
to
expound
their
Diuinity
,
being
obscure
and
darke
,
and
full
of
Oracles
,
as
the
Egiptians
were
.
Euerie
priest
had
in
Queene
Maries
dayes
in

such
a

to
Themistocles
,
You
Grecians
aboue
all
things
esteeme
libertie
and
equalitie
:
but
to
reuerence
and
adore
our
King
,
as
the
Image
of
the
God
of
Nature
,
we
Persians
iudge
farre
better
.
The
Egiptians
.
The
Egiptians
haue
their
heads
and
beards
,
and
dedicate
the
haires
thereof
to
God
Serapis
at
Memphis
,
with
sacrifice
and
supplications
for
their
Kings
and
Gouernours
.
The
Macedonians
vsed
to
weare
the
picture
of
Alexander
about
their
necks
as
Iewels
,
and
on
their
fingers
as
Rings
.
The
Indians
.
The
Indians
so
honoured
their
Kings
,
that
once
in
the
yeere
,
the
Peeres
and
Nobles
of
India
went
to
the
Riuer
Ganges
,
to
offer
sacrifice
to
the
Sunne
,
with
a
number
of
blacke
Buls
,
and
blacke
horses
,
which
colour
among
the
Indians
is
best
esteemed
.
The
Grecians
.
The
Grecians
vowed
for
their
Princes
and
Gouernors
health
and
long
life
,
to
dedicate
Statues
,
and
Images
to
their
Gods
in
their
temples
,
with
crownes
and
garlands
.
The
Persians
and
Armenians
did
honour
their
Kings
,
as
their
Gods
.
And
no
Nation
vnder
the
Sun
reuerenced
their
Kings
more
than
England
did
,
before
Titans
children
came
from
Rome
to
Britane
,
who
were
taught
in
Rome
mortally
to
hate
Kings
,
they
might
not
heare
of
the
name
of
a
King
.
And
it
seemeth
that
these
be
right

who
neuer
with
Kings
could
agree
,
like
to
the
Taprobanes
a
Nation
in
India
,
where
none
might
be
King
of
the
Kings
stocke
,
(
especially
if
he
had
children
)
lest
they
should
clayme
the
Kingdome
by
heritage
.
The
Priests
of
Egipt
and
Ethiop
haue
a
Law
and
a
Custome
to
elect
Kings
,
and
so
long
he
should
raigne
as
pleased
the
priests
.
And
they
had
authoritie
from
their
Gods
to
elect
,
and
depose
Kings
at
their
will
.
This
continued
vntill

Vulcan
appeared
in
a
dreame
to
Sabachus
King
of
Egipt
,
whome
hee
warned
,
either
to
kill
all
the
priests
of
Egipt
,
and
to
march
ouer
their
bodies
with
his
whole
armie
,
or
to
loose
his
Kingdome
.
But
this
idolatrous
and
superstitious
King
yeelded
his
Kingdome
vnto
priests
handes
,
and
they
banished
the
King
into
Ethiop
.
Some
Kinges
in
Europa
haue
been
,
and
are
in
the
like
homage
to
the
priests
of
Rome
,
as
the
Kinges
of
Affricke
haue
beene
to
the
priests
of
Egipt
and
Ethiop
.
This
law
and
custome
continued
with
the
priests
of
Egipt
and
Ethiop
,
Ergamenes
stratageme
.
vntill
Ergamenes
time
,
who
liued
in
Pto
:
Philadelphos
time
,
who
to
auoid
this
custome
,
hee
fained
a
great
sacrifice
to
the
Goddesse
Isis
,
and
commaunded
by
a
straight
decree
,
that
all
Prophets
and
Priests
of
Isis
should
come
to
this
sacrifice
.
Ergamenes
by
this
stratageme
slew
and
burned
all
these
Sacrificers
,
and
left
not
one
aliue
.
The
stratagemes
of
Iehu
.
found
out
the
policie
,
and
practise
of
Nabuchadnezar
priest
.
These
three
great
stratagems
are
equall
(
no
doubt
)
to
the
Iesuits
and
Seminaries
,
though
not
in
number
,
yet
in
policie
.
And
truely
farre
better
sacrifice
than
the
blood
of
Rams
,
Goats
,
Heiffers
,
and
thought
to
be
better
farre
than
that
good
fire
which
Agesilaus
commended
in
Greece
,
when
he
saw
the
Vsurers
tables
burne
at
Athens
.
Some
thought
,
yea
too
many
agreed
to
practise
Ergamen●s
stratageme
in
England
,
but
I
will
let
passe
in
silence
the
terrour
and
horrour
of
that
day
.
The
terror
of
the
fift
day
of
Nouember
.
The
determinations
of
these
Serpents
were
such
,
that
neither
by
Tamberlane
the
Scythian
,
neither
by
Romane
Silla
,
nor
by
any
Turkish
tyrannie
could
be
inuented
or
practised
.
You
read
in
this
booke
before
,
how
in
Asia
men
caried
Serpents
on
their
armes
,
to
driue
Diuels
and
euill
spirits
from
their
houses
:
&
in
great
Britane
they
carrie
Diuels
in
their
hearts
,
not
to
driue
Diuels
out
of
Britane
,
but
to
bring
more
Diuels
into
Britane
by
that
Romane
Belzebub
,
as
the
Diuell
confest
,
when
he
knew
not
where
to
goe
,
sayd
;
I
will
returne
whence
I
came
,
and
brings
with
him
7
Diuels
worse
than
himselfe
.
So
these
Serpents
go
to
Rome
,
&
at
their
returne
bring
seuen
such
,
and
worse
from
Rome
,
to
great
Britane
.
While
blindnes
and
ignorance
,
with
superstitious
ceremonies
were
in
England
,
no
such
stratagemes
were
vsed
,
the
Diuell
slept
sound
and
secure
;
but
now
in
time
of
the
Gospell
,
the
Diuels
bestirre
themselues
,
with
their
Priests
,
Iesuites
,
and

And

before

And
now
in
Rome
such
creeping
frogges
,
that
creepes
from
Rome
to
England
,
and
croaking
in
euerie
corner

in

worse

These

meane

It

that

being

they
were

I
know
that
matching
in
mariage
,
to
be
not
one
of
the
least
causes
of
good
and
euil
religion
in
any
Common-wealth
.
Matching
in
mariage
.
As
the
mariage
of
Esau
with
forraine
and
strange
Nations
.
The
mariage
of
Ioram
King
of
Iudah
,
with
King
Achabs
daughter
an
Idolater
,
was
the
cause
of
much
wickednesse
in
Israel
.
The
Law
of
Moses
was
,
that
the
Hebrews
should
match
with
their
owne
Tribe
.
The
law
of
Moses
.
And
therefore
Esdras
commaunded
the
Children
of
Israell
to
forsake
their
strange
women
.
Nehemias
rebuked
and
punished
the
Israelites
,
for
not
putting
away
such
strange
&
idolatrous
Nations
.
With
the
like
care
did
Isaac
send
to
Mesopotamia
to
his
brother
Laban
,
to
choose
him
a
wife
.
Old
Tobias
.
So
did
old
Tobias
send
his
young
Sonne
Tobias
to
Medea
.
So
God
appointed
such
godly
women
to
these
godly
men
,
that
willingly
they
forsooke
their
friends
,
their
kinred
,
their
brethren
and
sisters
,
their
Parents
and
country
,
to
come
with
their
husbands
to
Iudah

Ruth
forsooke
her
idolatrous
Nation
the
Moabites
,
and
would
not
,
So
Loah
and
Rachell
the
wiues
of
Iacob
,
became
the
Mothers
of
the
12
Tribes
of
Israell
.
Godly
marriage
.
These
were
godly
marriages
,
for
they
forsooke
parents
and
friends
,
to
come
out
of
such
idolatrous
countreys
to
come
into
Iudah
,
to
serue
God
with
a
strange
Nation
.
I
could
wish
that
there
were
not
in
great
Britane
those
that
would
forsake
their
natiue
soyle
to
be
married
in
Rome
,
or
in
Spaine
to
serue
Images
.
Caleb
a
zealous
and
earnest
Hebrew
promised
his
daughter
A●●san
in

to
him
that
ouercame
that
wicked
and
peruerse
Towne

The
promise

Caleb

Dissembling
Saul
promised
his
daughter
Micholl
to
him
that
could
bring

skinnes
.
And
two
godly
and
zealous
men
performed
and
effected
the
same
,
namely
Dauid
and
Othoniel
.
So
did
Clysthenes
for
his
daughter
Agarista
,
who
made
search
throughout
all
the
Cities
of
Greece
for
a
vertuous
youth

in
Libanon
sent
to
a
Cedar
tree
in
Libanon
,
saying
,
Vnequall
marriage
specially
in
Religion
,
is
like
an
Oxe
and
an
Asse
to
drawe
vnder
one
Yoake
.
This
was
the
first
cause
of
sedition
at
Rome
,
The

sedition
of
Rome

in

betweene
the

Commons
,
Ob

.
Hence
grewe
many
seditions
,
and
so
many
,
that
it
was
the
ouerthrow
of
Rome
.
For
as
Philip
of
Macedon
made
sale
of
Greece
by
discord
of
Grecians
,
for
such
was
the
mutuall
discord
of
all
the
Cities
of
Greece
,
that
King
Philip
,
and
his
sonne
after
him
,
became
Ruler
of
all
Greece
.
So
in
Rome
for
the
indignation
of
marriage
of
the
Commons
with
the
Patricians
,
there
grew
contentions
.
And
therefore
old
Osyris
King
of
Egipt
,
had
the
likenesse
of
a
mans
eye
in
the
vpper
end
of
his
Diademe
,
to
put
the
King
in
remembrance
carefully
to
see
to
such
Monsters

This

of
Babilon
with

Lions

;
than

with

;
than

,
the
likenesse
of
the
Sun
,
the
Image
of
fier
vpon
the
horse
of
Mars
.
The
ancient
Scepters
of
Persia.
Yet
had
the
old
Persians
their
Scepters
carried
before
them
in
forma
palae
,
like
a
spade
.
And
the
ould
Egiptians
,
and
the
Ethiopians
had
Scepters
Informa

,
made
like
a
plough
.
Some

that

You

that
hath
two

to

taunting
Cicero

to
both

for
Cicero
loued
Pompey
,
and
feared

,

though

hidden

false

the

A

Gentleman
told
Alexader
Seuerus
,
that
hee
was
agreeued
to
see
his
Court
so
pestered
with
dissemblers

hypocrites
,
and
said
,
I
will
find
out
a
place
to
dwell
,
where
no
hypocrites
be
:
the
Emperour
said
,
where
wilt
thou
goe
where
no
dissemblers
be
?
thou
must
goe
beyond
the
Sauromates
,
and
the
frosen

,
and
yet
when
thou
commest
thither
,
thou
shalt
find
hypocrites

And
though
Achilles
in
Homer
exclaimeth
out
against
such
dissemblers
,
and
say

that
he
hateth

worse

Lewis
the
tenth
was
wont
to
bragge
of
his
owne
kingdome
of
France
,
that
it
was
a
kingdome
that
far
exceded
al
other
kingdoms
,
wanting
but
one
thing
.
And
being
requested
to
know
what
that
was
,
hee
answered
Truth
.
And
therefore
Osymantes
had
his
picture
painted
with
his
eyes
shut
,
with
a
tablet
of
gold
about
,
hanging
about
his
necke
,
with
this
word
written
thereupon
:
(

And
hee
willed
that
the
Kings
of

successors
,
to
weare

Tablet

departed
,
changed
his

;
and
wandred
like
a

,
and
lodged
in
a
meane
house
:
and
asked
as
an
vnknowen
man
what
was
spoken
of
the

King
Antigonus
went
out

The

the

,
they
brought
such
princely

Torquin
the

For
Courts
of
Kings
&
Princes
cannot
be
without
limping
and
halting
.
In
Meroe
a
Kingdome
of
India
,
if
the
Kings
were
lame
,
or
halt
,
or
in
any
part
of
their
bodies
,
his
Courtiers
by
the
law
in
Meroe
should
be
also
lame
,
and
halt
as
the
Kings
did
.
It
is
histored
that
in
Macedonia
in
the
time
of
Philip
,
and
in
Neapolis
,
in
the
time
of
Ferdinandus
,
for
that
these
two
Kings
held
their
necks
a
litle
on
the
left
side
though
it
was
a
naturall
defect
in
others
,
yet
in
Princes
followed
and
imitated
:
and
yet
no
longer
then
these
Princes
liued
.
In
the
next
King
,
it
is
cleane
altered
,
for
in
the
time
of
Alexander
the
great
,
for
that
he
had
a
bush
of
haire
standing
vp
on
his
forehead
,
the
Courtiers
in
Macedonia
left
to
holde
their
heads
awry
,
after
Philip
the
father
,
and
followed
the
sonne
Alexander
:
euery
Courtier
imitating
the
time
with
great
care
and
trauaile
to
make
their
haires
stand
vp
vpon
their
foreheads
like
Alexander
,
and
to
be
called
Opisthocomae
,
as
Alexander
,
Hector
,
and
Pompei
the

were
noted
to
haue
beene

de
vita
Constant
.
The
Emperour
Constantine
practized
a
pollicie
to
find
out
sound
Christians
,
and
faithfull
seruants
in
his
Court
,
he
fained
a
decree
,
and
commanded
all
the
Christians
to
depart
from
his
Court
,
&
cingula
Militaria
deponere
.
The
sound
&
true
Christians
left
the
Emperour
and
his
Court
,
and
forsooke
their
credit
and
militarie
dignitie
,
and
esteemed
not
his
Court
in
respect
of
Christianitie
.
The
other
Christians
which
the
Emperor
found
,
tantum
nomine
,
staied
behind
,
he
banished
and
reuoked
his
decree
,
A
worthie
saying
of
Constantine
.
and
called
backe
the
other
:
and
restored
them
to
their
former
estate
with
greater
credit
,
saying
,
Qui
suo
numini
fidi
non
sunt
nec
mihi
.
And
so
banished
those
counterfeit
Christians
.
This
sentence
squares
well
with
our
rebellious
brutes
and
not
Britanes
,
The
wish
of
the
wicked
men
.
who
were
neuer
sound
to
God
,
faithfull
to
their
Prince
,
nor
true
to
their
countrey
:
but
as
Caligula
wished
to
Rome
,
so
they
wish
to
England
:
and
as
Haman
wished
to
the
Iewes
,
so
they
wished
to
the
Britanes
.
They
wish
with
Midas
,
that
whatsoeuer
they
tucht
,
should
be
gold
:
and
therefore
they
shall
for
hunger
with
Midas
starue
.
They
wish
for
blood
,
and
they
shall
be
satisfied
with
blood
in
Britaine
,
as
King
Cyrus
was
in
Scithia
,
or
the
Romane
Consul
Crassus
was
in
Parthia
.
From
such
people
that
so
wished
,
Elias
wished
to
die
vnder
a
Iuniper
tree
,
and
among
such
people
wished
to
know
his
friends
from
his
foes
.
So
King
Antigonus
wished
only
to
know
his
friends
,
for
his
foes
he
would
carefully
looke
vnto
:
but
the
wish
of
a
perfect
Christian
is
set
downe
in
the
Lords
Praier
,
The
wish
of
the
godly
men
.
Thy
kingdome
come
,
thy
will
be
done
,
yet
we
are
commanded
to
aske
,
to
praise
,
and
to
wish
all
good
and
godly
things
.
Simon
wished
to
haue
Christ
in
his
armes
,
and
to
embrace
his
Sauiour
before
he
died
.
Saint
Augustine
wished
to
haue
seene
Paul
in
his
face
,
and
also
wished
to
haue
seene
Christ
in
his
bodie
.
Beda
wished
to
see
Christ
in
his
eternall
and
glorious
bodie
in
heauen
,
these
wishes
are
to
be
wished
.
Many
haue
Christ
in
their
most
wicked
and
blasphemous
tongue
,
by
all
kind
of
lies
,
swearing
,
and
blaspheming
of
God
.
So
had
Anam
,
Et
mentiri
spiritui
sancto
.
So
had
Iulian
Apostata
,
and
confessed
his
impietie
and
wickednes
,
by
throwing
out
of
his
heart
blood
,
saying
,
Liers
and
blasphemers
vicis●i
o
Galilee
:
and
after
such
vngodly
sort
,
too
many
throw
their
hearts
blood
,
and
say
,
Vincisti
veritas
.
And
what
is
the
end
of
these
rebellious
and
treacherous
wishes
,
is
it
for
gold
,
and
siluer
,
is
it
for
honour
and
dignitie
,
is
it
for
the
whole
world
?
O
foole
said
Christ
,
to
winne
the
whole
world
,
and
to
loose
thy
soule

Of
such
fellowes
saith
Bernard
,
O
gens
auara
?
What
is
gold
,
but
rubea
terra
,
red
earth
?
What
is
siluer
,
but
terra

,
white
earth
?
And
yet
wee
esteeme
of
that
vile
thing
which
is
below
,
and
but
execrements
of
the
earth
,
more
then
any
thing
which
is
aboue
the
earth
,
euen

.
Yea
,
we
make
much
of
that
which
the
Indians
,
Ethiopians
,
Pagans
,
and
Heathens
esteeme
as
dirt
For
they
vse
neither
Gemmes
,
Tertul.
de
cultu
mulierum
.
nor
precious
stones
,
but
onely
in
soccis
&
cal●eis
,
and
that
in
contempt
of
it
.
For
with
the
Ethiopians
,
their
maner
was
to
bind
their
prisoners
with
chaines
of
gold
,
&
their
theeues
with
fetters
of
siluer
.
But
the
Romanes
would
not
be
satisfied
▪
before
they
should
haue
all
,
and
notwitstanding
in
short
time
lost
all
.
The
great
Antiochus
brought
Hanniball
to
his
Treasures
,
and
shewed
Hanniball
his
Gold
,
his
Siluer
,
his
wealth
and
treasures
:
and
asked
Hanniball
if
that
would
not
please
the
Romanes
,
yea
said
Hannibal
it
would
please
the
Romans
,
but
not
satisfie
the
Romans
.
Rome
was
euer
compared
to
Sodome
&
Gomorha
for
beastly
intemperancie
,
Wesellus
Groning
.
as
Pope
Sixtus
the
4
,
who
granted
to
vse
in
the
three
hot
moneths
,
Iune
,
Iuly
,
&
August
sodomitrie
.
Compared
to
Babilon
,
and
so
called
for
her
Idolatrie
and
Pride
:
and
for
crueltie
and
greedinesse
,
compared
to
Turkes
,
and
to
Tyrants
.
If
the
comparison
of
Rome
,
with
Sodome
and
Gomorrha
,
with
Babilon
,
with
Turkes
,
and
Tirants
will
not
serue
,
which
most
aptly
agree
with
them
.
I
would
also
compare
them
to
Alexanders
horse
,
who
feared
not
the
persians
phalanges
,
the
Camels
of
Asia
,
not
the
Elephants
of
India
,
and
yet
feared
his
own
shadowe
.
So
the
Romanes
that
feared
not
Asia
,
Europe
,
nor
Affrica
,
yet
feared
their
owne
shadowes
at
Rome
.
A
verie
rich
man
borne
in
Lydia
,
and
dwelling
in
Phrygia
,
hee
willed
his
wife
to
prouide
some
great
cheere
for
friends
of
his
;
so
his
wife
did
.
She
couered
all
places
ouer
with
gold
,
siluer
,
Table
,
Cupbords
,
with
all
kind
of
golden
vessels
,
wherin
for
a
while
he
delighted
much
,
but
being
hungry
,
called
for
his
meat
:
shee
layd
vppon
the
table
a
painted
dinner
,
&
a
banquet
,
all
maner
of
fowles
,
of
fish
made
on
stone
▪
wood
,
iuorie
,
waxe
,
and
paimed
the
gold
and
siluer
,
and
garnished
it
with
rich
stones
.
Pithius
waxed
angry
with
his
wife
,
Plut.
de
claris
mulier
.
and
called
for
his
meat
;
His
wife
answered
:
This
is
your
meate
husband
,
that
you
feede
night
and
day
vpon
.
I
haue
no
meat
for
your
friends
,
but
such
as
you
feed
on
,
and
with
another
taunt
,
said
,
That
he
could
not
liue
long
that
fed
on
Midas
table
.
The
like
banquets
made
Heliogabalus
of
eight
persons
,
8
bald-men
,
8
deafe
meen
,
8
gowtie
men
,
8
blacke
Ethiopians
,
8
scoffers
,
and
8
of
the
fattest
and
grossest
.
And
Heliogabalus
commanded
all
these
eights
persons
to
bring
him
1000
weight
of
cobwebs
,
Lamp
.
in
vita
Heliog
.
promising
them
to
be
well
rewarded
.
And
being
demaunded
what
to
doe
.
He
answered
,
Ex
his
colligi
magnitudinem
vrbis
Romae
.
These
gathered
and
brought
Heliogabalus
10000
weights
,
to
whom
he
made
such
a
banquet
for
these
Eights
,
as
Pytheus
wife
made
for
her
husband
.
Heliogabalus
banquet
.
Heliogabalus
left
these
eights
at
their
golden
breakfast
,
and
tooke
the
eight
that
were
burst
with
him
,
ad
balneum
,
to
bath
themselues
:
and
when
these
eight
had
done
bathing
,
the
Emperor
commanded
them
to
goe
to
breakfast
with
their
fellowes
,
and
hee
came
himselfe
&
sat
with
them
,
and
maruailed
they
could
eat
no
meat
;
I
pray
you
come
some
other
time
,
when
your
stomackes
serue
you
,
I
see
you
can
eat
no
meat
,
and
so
let
them
goe
.
And
yet
both
these
Feasts
were
farre
better
than
the
Arch-bishop
of

:
Hatto

Guil.
Isengrin

in

THere
bee
certaine
Iewes
in
the
west
parts
of
India
,
called
Essa●i
,
which
will
eat
no
flesh
,
drinke
no
wine
,
nor
vse
the
companie
of
any
women

There
bee
also
certaine
women
in

called
Amazones
,
which
by
the
law
of
their
Countrey
,
men
may
not
gouerne
or
dwell
with
them
.
And
yet
such
women
did
meet
together
in
mount
Quirina●
at
Rome
in
the
Court
of
Heliogabalus
the
Emperour
,
who
had
Caenaculum
Mulierum
,
and
where
nothing
was
done
,
but
by
women
.
And
such
did
meet
sometime
in
the
Court
of
Salomon
in
Hierusalem
,
These
strange
women
did
not
only
put
Salomon
king
of
Israel
out
of
Israel
,
but
also
the
God
of
Israel
,
and
brought
their
idolatrous
Gods
vnto
Israel
,
that
bend
not
their
kindes
to
Baall
.
with
so
many
Altars
to
Idols
in

and
Mount
Oliuet
,
that
God
reioyced
to
haue
reserued

7000
that
neuer
bowed
their

to

I
would
to
God
wee
might
so
say
in
England
,
that
wee
had
but
7000
,
that
bend
not
their
knees
,
and
knocke
their
breasts
to
jmages
and
jdols
in
their
closets
,
who
worship
more
the
Queene
of
Heauen
in
bedchamber
,
than
the
God
of
heauen
in
the
church
:
and
the
starre
of
Rempha
,
more
than
the
starre
of
Iacob
.
They
also
saw
Esay
cut
in
the
middest
with
a
Sawe
in
Hierusalem
,
in
the
idolatrous
time
of
Manasses
.
Plin.
lib.

Plinie
writeth
,
that
in
furthest
part
of
India
breed
many
Monsters
,
and
that
in
Affrica
the
Mother
and
the
Nurse
of
strange
Serpents
:
of
one
Serpent
(
among
others
)
I
read
of
that
which
kept
the
Riuer
Bagrada
,
that
much
spoyled
and
destroyed
the
Romane
Armie
,
then
vnder
Atillus
Regulus
the
Romane
Generall
,
But
in
time
this
Serpent
was
slaine
,
and
his
skinne
sent
to
the
Senators
for
a
wonder
,
for
it
was
in
length
120
foot
.
The
skinne
of
this
Serpent
bred
so
many
Serpents
in
Rome
,
that
Rome
filled
all
Europe
with
Serpents
.
And
wee
haue
found
of
late
too
many
in
great
Britane
,
whose
hearts
were
Pilosa
&
Hispida
(
as
is
sayd
before
)
yea
double-hearted
Britanes
,
one
to
Rome
,
the
other
to
Spaine
,
but
none
to
their
owne
Country
.
Vae

like
Partridges
of
Paphlagonia

Such
Monsters
are
more
monstrous
,
Of
which
some
haue
heads
like
dogges
that
doe
alwayes
barke
to
moue
sedition
and
mutanies
;

some
with
long
eares
to
their
feete
;
such
can
heare
from
Spaine
,
and
from
Rome
,
to
Britane
.
There
be
some
other
Monsters
,
whose
feet
are
so
broad
,
that
when
they
lye
vpon
their
backs
,
the
shadowe
of
their
feet
doth
not
only
couer
themselues
from
the
raine
,
heat
,
or
tempest
,
but
also
couer
them
that
be
in
their
companie
.
Too
many
such
Monsters
are
to
bee
found
euerie
where
.
And
yet
(
sayth
the
same
Author
)
that
there
is
one
kinde
of
Monster
more
strange
in
India
,
Strabo
Lincius
that
sawe
the
shippes
of
Carthage
,
from
Lelibium
in
Cicilia
.
But
these
can
see
from
the
north
to
the
south
,
and
from
the
south
,
to
the
north
.
But
we
must
not
looke
for
fire
from
heauen
,
as
Elias
had
in
mount
Carmell
vpon
King
Achabs
captaines
;
Elizeus
.
Daniel
.
But
we
may
well
doe
as
Daniel
did
in
Babilon
,
to
seeke
,
and
finde
out
the
print
of
the
feete
of
Baals
Priests
,
and
of
their
wiues
and
children
.
So
we
may
well
trace
out
these
Traitors
,
and
seek
to
finde
the
footing
of
these
Iesuites
and
Seminaries
,
and
being
found
,
there
is
no
way
to
helpe
this
,
but
by
paring
their
feete
lesser
,
their
eares
shorter
,
their
eyes
out
,
and
their
heads
off
,
vnlesse
prayers
helpe
it
.
These
be
farre
worse
than
the
Iebusites
,
Hethites
,
and
Cananites
,
which
were
left
in
Iudah
,
as
needels
to
pricke
them
,
and
as
Goads
to
sting
Israel
.
These
Serpents
,
these
Monsters
,
the
verie
brood
of
Satan
,
seeke
not
onely
in
the
Land
of
Hus
to
destroy
Iob
and
his
children
,
but
in
the
Land
of
great
Britane
to
destroy
King
Iames
,
his
Queene
,
his
children
,
and
their
Countrey
.
Hinc
rubent
eorum

,
The
brood
of
Satan
.
as
Britane
,
Fraunce
,
and
Germanie
can
testifie
with
the
blood
of
more
than
100
thousand
Christians
,
whom
they
slew
and
burned
to
feed
that
Monster
Mino-Taurus
,
not
of
Creet
,
but
of
Rome
,
not
with
the
blood
of
the
Athenians
,
to
please
Androgeus
,
but
with
the
blood
of
Britanes
;
not
with
their
forraine
enemies
blood
,
but
with
the
blood
of
the
best
learned
men
in
Europe

The
Serpent
in

The

The

The
Pope
promiseth
Kingdomes
on
earth
,
and
Kingdomes
in
heauen
;
for
he
saith
,
Heauen
is
his
,
and
he
hath
the
keys
of
Heauen
deliuered
to
him
onely
,
and
whome
he
bindeth
or
looseth
on
earth
,
the
same
shal
be
bound
or
freed
in
heauen
;
and
with
this
Serpent
for
money
,
a
man
may
haue
some
place
in
heauen
,
or
some
Kingdomes
vpon
the
earth
.
The
Heauen
of
Heauens
is
the
Lordes
,
and
the
Earth
hee
gaue
to
the
children
of
men
.
And
continuance
of
Kingdomes
and
Periods
of
Empires
are
from
God
,
and
not
by
Oracles
and
Dreames
,
as
Heathen
Princes
did
obserue
.
Astiages
King
of
Assiria
was
much
disquieted
vppon
a
dreame
,
Mandanes
dreame

that
the
Mother
of
Cyrus
,
and
his
daughter
Mandanes
sawe
,
that
she
made
such
an
vrine
that
ouer
flowed
all
Asia

And
Cyrus
thought
to
bring
Scythia
vnto
Persia
vpon
his
mothers
dreame
:
and
his
Grandfather
Astiages
thought
to
haue

hee
doubted
not
but
that
hee
should
bring
India
to
ioyne
with
Asia
,
Alexanders
dreame
.
and
yet
it
was
7
yeeres
before
these
two
great
Captaines
(
though
Hercules
was
within
Tire
,
and
Alexander
without
)
wanne
Tire
.
So
many
dreamers
are
in
these
our
daies
,
that
dreame
to
see
some
handes
ouer
Rome
,
some
ouer
Rhemes
;
Dreamers
of
Rome
.
that
haue
such
confidence
in
these
handes
,
that
these
seeke
to
bring
Rome
,
Rhemes
,
and
Spaine
together
by
Images
,
or
imagination
to
Britane
.
So
superstitious
people
are
euer
light
of
beliefe
,
that
the
Greeks
thought
,
Plut.
in
Thes.
and
the
Athenians
affirmed
to
haue
seene
Theseus
many
yeeres
after
his
death
,
to
goe
before
the
Greeks
,
against
the
Barbarians
.
The
Romanes
were
informed
by
Castor
,
and
Pollox
against
the
Macedonians
,
and
other
Kingdomes
of
their
Conquests
and
victories
.
The
Machabees
saw
a
Horse-man
all
in
gold
armed
,
shaking
his
speare
against
the
Syrians
,
The
Iesuits
and
Seminaries
dream
,
that
they
haue
many
Hercules
,
many
Alexanders
,
reaching
ouer
the
Seas
to
them
,
laying
siege
to
England

I
wish
that
these
Dreamers
were
sould
to
some
Ismalite
,
or
to
some
Egyptian
that
doe
nothing
in
great
Britane
,
but
dreame
;
and
by
their
dreames
worke
mischiefe
.
There
bee
some
Dreamers
in
England
,
that
if
they
might
haue
the
God
of
Israel
banished
out
of
Great
Britane
,
they
would
haue
Images
and
Idols
in
his
place
.
The
Image
of
Minerua
appeared
to
Augustus
Phisitian
,
and
told
him
how
hee
should
heale
his
Master
of
his
sicknesse
.
Diogenes
,
of
all
the
Gods
,
could
not
thinke
well
of
Esculapius
Image
,
for
that
the
Phisitians
make
gaine
of
mens
goods
,
and
sell
mens
liues
for
mony
,
which
the
Romanes
most
esteemed
.
Some
Images
of
Diuels
appeare
to
these
Firebrands
of
Hell
,
to
banish
heretikes
and
heresies
(
as
they
terme
it
)
out
of
great
Britane
.
Tho:
Aquinas

The

neither

nor
your

Aquinas
then
should
not
haue
wondred
to
see
so
much

in

,
sithence
his

that
would
haue
bought

that
which
the
Popes
of
Rome
sell
to
others
,
namely
the
gifts
of
the

Ghost
,
Pereas
cum

They
forgat
also
what

sayd
to

Paulus
from
the

of

Elimas

But
these
vents
or
sales
of
offices
,
of
Magistrates
,
and
of
marchandize
,
was
euer
as
common
in
Rome
,
as
the
sale
of
ecclesiasticall
promotions
,
Bishopricks
,
and
of
the
Popedome

being

The

lookes
for

of
Christian
Kings
,
yea
,
rather
a
tribute
due
vnto
him
,
per

post

in

Britane
.
The
Turke
would
haue
claymed
a
pension
or
tribute
due
vnto
him
of
the
Emperours
of
Germanie
.
The
Kinges
of
Persia
vnder
colour
of
pensions
,
would
haue
their
forces
in
many
places
of
Asia
,
but
they
were
resisted
.
And
Philip
of

by

,
after

Plut.

got

But
it
was

some
die
neither

die
for

I
remember
a
historie
in
Plinie
,
Plin.
lib
28
cap.

that
an
Embassador
came
from
Cypris
to
Rome
,
his
name
was
Exagon
,
who
among
other
monuments
,
he
saw
the
Consuls
bring
certain
vessels
full
of
Serpents
:
This
was
a
great
terrour
to
the
Romanes
,
and
yet
was
a
stratageme
,
that
Haniball
taught
the
Romanes
,
and
to
all
the
Kings
of
Asia
against
the
Romanes
.
But
the
Romans
like
the
Cappadocian
,
who
after
the
Viper
bit
him
,
A
Cappadocian
.
they
looked
as
they
did
at
Paul
for
the
like
,
when
the
Cappadocian
would
die
,
but
the
Cappadocian
liued
,
and
the
Viper
died
;
such
haps
sometime
happen
.
But
as
I
sayd
of
Romane
Marcellus
,
and
Fabius
:
so
likewise
I
pray
vnto
God
,
that
there
be
not
many
such
Exagons
in
great
Britane
,
that
these
Serpents
and
Vipers
may
licke
and
winde
about
them
,
to
the
destruction
of
their
Countrey
.
These
be
not
like
Lazarus
doggs
that
licked
their
Masters
soares
for
loue
;
Lazarus
dogges
.
but
like
Acteons
dogges
that
deuoured
their
Maister
.
Like
Ioab
that
killed
Abner
embracing
him
in
his
armes
.
And
like
Iudas
the
Traitor
,
that
kissed
his
Master
,
and
straight
betrayed
him
.
There
were
neuer
so
many
dumb
dogs
,
as
now
be
biting
,
&
not
barking
.
These
be
Lemures
nocturni
,
and
alwayes
conuersant
with
vs
in
our
houses
,
like
Lares
domestici
,
that
can
and
may
deceiue
vs
,
because
wee
trust
them
,
are
now
become
Tortuosi
Serpentes
,
which
came
after
long
lurking
in
their
secret
Labyrinths
,
Per
mille
Maeandros
,
to
plague
their
Countrey
.
But
yet
now
they
are
much
frighted
with
Ieroboam
,
who
doubting
least
the
Kingdome
of
Israel
shuld
returne
to
the
house
of
Dauid
,
by
meanes
of
the
multitude
of
people
which
went
to
offer
sacrifice
at
Ierusalem
,
builded
Rama●
,
and
other
stronge
holds
,
and
made
two
golden
Calues
to
entice
Israel
to
Idolatrie
.
These
Iesuites
and
Seminaries
haue
hornes
ready
made
,
and
they
promise
their
Maister
the
Pope
,
as
Zedechia
did
to
Achab
victorie
,
and
say
,
Hijs

And
if
that
faile
,
Balacke
shall
cause
Balaam
for
reward
,
to
curse
Britane
with
Bookes
and
Bels.
So
did
Golias
curse
Dauid
in
the
name
of
his
Gods
.
The
Bishop
of
Rome
did
vse

annoint
the

;
by
the

they
coniure

from
their
houses
,
terrifie
their
enemies
,
purifie
the
ayre
,
curse
and
excommunicate
whome
they
list
.
Raimerus
the
5
King
of
Arragon
published
,
that
he
would
make
such
a
great
Bell
,
that
all
Spaine
should
heare
the
sound
of
it
.
Some
of
his
noble-men
iesting
and
scoffing
at
this
Bell
,
lest
it
should
be
like
the
cursing
Bell
of
Rome
,
despised
the
same
speech
.
But
they
were
apprehended
and
commanded
by
Raimerus
to
be
put
to
the
sword
,
saying
,
Nescit
vulpecula
cum
quo
laudat
.
The
like
punishment
had
many
that
spake
against
the
Bels
and
Buls
of
Rome
.
Surely
we
shall
neuer
be
able
to
end
this
quarrell
,
or
make
a
lawe
,
as
Elias
did
with
Achabs
Prophets
,
and
as
Daniel
did
with
Nabuchadnezars
priests
,
and
so
execute
the
lawe
according
to
their
composition
,
which
was
effected
by
the
commandement
of
these
two
great
idolatrous
Kings
,
the
one
at
the
brooke
Kyson
,
the
other
at
Babilon
.
