Saint
George
for
England
:
Allegorically
described
.
APRILL
hauing
with
his
sweete
showers
moystened
the
drought
of
March
,
bathing
euery
veine
of
the
rootes
of
trees
&
ingendring
floures
,
Zephirus
with
his
pleasaunt
breath
prouoking
tender
crops
by
vertue
of
young
Phebus
,
holding
her
course
in
Aries
.
Abstinence
in
Lent
performing
her
accustomed
race
feeding
on
waterie
creatures
,
the
Moone
being
entred
into
the
aquatike
signe
of
Pisces
,
and
my
bloud
increasing
with
the
nource
of
digestion
,
caused
me
to
slumber
,
and
no
sooner
did
I
discharge
some
part
of
that
tribute
due
vnto
nature
,
when
suddenly
falling
into
most
strange
dreames
,
or
rather
visions
,
which
seemed
to
dimme
my
sight
,
I
was
partly
amazed
,
and
partly
rauished
with
such
admirations
:
which
by
apprehension
haue
left
such
deepe
impressions
in
the
treasurie
of
my
braines
,
as
I
am
now
compelled
to
commit
some
of
them
to
the
generall
recordor
,
whose
bodie
(
after
the
amputation
of
his
head
)
called
for
blacke
drinke
to
staine
the
ouerbeaten
clouts
,
to
ease
my
fatigable
memory
,
the
receptacle
whereof
is
otherwise
barred
from
all
succeeding
matters
,
like
a
trammell
replenished
with
fish
,
which
can
containe
no
more
then
her
full
(
as
it
were
)
naturall
imbibition
.
Me
thought
according
to
the
prouoked
motion
,
that
being
in
a
ship
sailing
on
the
seas
with
a
prosperous
wind
and
pleasant
trauell
,
I
did
arriue
into
a
most
fruitfull
Iland
,
whose
beautifull
and
pleasant
sight
,
with
sauorie
and
delicious
fruites
distilling
the
iuice
of
Nectar
,
ministrated
such
delight
and
health
vnto
my
wearied
bones
and
drowsie
mind
,
that
by
the
delectable
obiect
of
mine
eyes
,
of
faire
running
riuers
with
their
siluer
streames
,
of
greene
fields
with
their
varietie
of
floures
,
of
easie
high
waies
set
with
fruite-trees
on
euery
side
,
of
stately
hils
gracing
their
Horizon
as
the
nose
doth
the
face
,
of
liuely
fountaines
of
refreshing
water
,
and
by
the
sweete
and
harmonious
melodie
of
birds
,
whose
warbling
notes
did
penetrate
my
eares
,
all
my
sences
were
reduced
to
puritie
;
my
sight
without
colour
,
my
hearing
without
sound
,
my
smelling
without
smell
,
my
tasting
without
smacke
or
feeling
,
and
my
feeling
without
sence
or
tasting
:
all
of
them
being
simple
in
themselues
,
seemed
to
haue
obtained
fruition
of
their
wished
desires
,
as
if
all
things
with
a
Simpathy
of
a
generall
applause
had
bene
entertaining
them
,
and
prognosticating
vnto
me
all
worldy
felicitie
.
Trauelling
along
with
a
setled
pace
,
taking
the
benefite
of
these
rare
blessings
,
an
insupportable
loathsome
smell
scaled
the
fortresse
of
my
nose
,
depriuing
me
of
some
part
of
the
former
pleasures
.
But
the
sence
of
smelling
not
hauing
so
great
operation
with
the
heart
as
the
motion
of
the
eyes
,
made
the
sence
of
seeing
to
remaine
predominant
:
howbeit
by
the
interposition
of
the
facultie
of
hearing
.
For
behold
a
man
of
meane
stature
,
stricken
in
age
,
yet
bearing
his
bodie
vpright
,
did
stand
on
the
high
way
,
in
whose
face
did
shine
such
amiable
reuerence
as
was
pleasant
to
behold
,
notwithstanding
his
pale
colour
caused
through
the
stinking
smell
;
who
told
me
with
a
loude
voice
these
or
the
like
speeches
.
Not
without
cause
(
courteous
gentleman
)
do
you
stop
your
nose
to
auoid
this
pestiferous
smell
,
as
dangerous
to
the
smelling
as
the
cockatrice
is
to
the
sight
,
proceeding
from
a
terrible
cruel
Dragon
,
which
deuoureth
and
destroyeth
daily
the
inhabitants
of
this
(
otherwise
)
flourishing
Iland
,
the
king
himselfe
being
in
great
ieopardy
,
with
his
sweet
and
welbeloued
daughter
:
as
heretofore
his
predecessor
hath
bene
,
whome
Saint
George
that
valiant
champion
(
through
his
great
faith
and
valour
)
did
rescue
and
saue
miraculously
,
deliuering
therby
the
whole
state
of
this
common
wealth
from
the
like
danger
.
The
consideration
whereof
doth
comfort
and
reuiue
our
dead
hopes
,
that
God
will
be
pleased
to
stirre
vp
some
other
champion
,
who
like
vnto
the
noble
Romaine
Marcus
Curtius
shall
deliuer
our
weale
publike
,
and
destroy
this
hideous
monster
,
wherwith
we
haue
bene
troubled
almost
these
30.
yeares
▪
Hearing
the
same
,
me
thought
I
was
possessed
with
a
most
feruent
desire
to
vnderstand
the
particularitie
as
well
of
that
Dragon
whereof
he
complained
,
as
of
the
other
which
is
reported
to
haue
bene
slaine
or
vanquished
by
Saint
George
:
for
I
had
many
times
inquired
very
diligently
where
that
Iland
might
be
situated
where
that
dragon
was
destroyed
,
and
how
it
was
possible
that
he
could
deuoure
such
an
infinite
number
of
creatures
as
is
reported
,
which
made
me
to
be
very
importunate
with
this
man
to
know
euery
thing
with
the
circumstances
therof
,
whome
I
found
to
be
not
onely
by
learning
,
but
also
by
nature
of
singular
eloquence
,
and
in
reasoning
and
debating
of
matters
of
politicke
gouernement
,
what
by
his
naturall
wit
,
and
what
by
daily
exercise
,
surely
he
had
in
my
iudgement
few
fellowes
,
by
reason
whereof
,
he
gaue
me
full
satisfaction
and
answer
to
all
my
demands
,
and
seemed
in
his
discourse
to
discharge
the
part
of
an
Orator
.
This
flourishing
Iland
(
quoth
he
)
which
ouerfloweth
with
milk
and
hony
,
is
called
Niobla
,
and
lyeth
vnder
the
kingdome
of
Persia
,
the
chiefe
citie
whereof
called
Diospolus
standeth
partly
vpon
the
side
of
a
low
hill
,
in
fashion
almost
foure
square
.
For
the
breadth
of
it
beginneth
a
little
beneath
the
toppe
of
the
hill
,
and
still
continueth
by
the
space
of
one
mile
.
The
length
of
it
which
lyeth
by
the
riuers
side
is
somewhat
more
.
The
riuer
called
Semath
riseth
aboue
foure
score
miles
aboue
Diospolus
out
of
a
little
spring
:
but
being
increased
by
other
small
riuers
and
brookes
that
runne
into
it
,
before
the
city
it
is
halfe
a
mile
brode
,
and
farther
broader
,
and
fortie
miles
beyond
the
citie
it
falleth
into
the
Ocean
sea
.
By
all
that
space
that
lyeth
betweene
the
sea
and
the
citie
,
and
certaine
miles
also
aboue
the
citie
,
the
water
ebbeth
and
floweth
sixe
houres
together
with
a
swift
tide
,
when
the
sea
floweth
in
,
for
the
length
of
thirty
miles
it
filleth
al
the
riuer
Semath
with
salt
water
,
and
driueth
backe
the
fresh
water
of
the
riuer
:
and
somewhat
further
,
it
changeth
the
sweetnesse
of
the
fresh
water
with
saltnesse
.
But
a
little
beyond
that
the
riuer
waxeth
sweete
,
and
runneth
foreby
the
citie
fresh
and
pleasant
.
There
goeth
a
bridge
ouer
the
riuer
,
made
not
of
piles
or
of
timber
,
but
of
stone-worke
,
with
gorgeous
and
substantiall
Arches
,
at
that
part
of
the
citie
that
is
farthest
from
sea
:
to
the
intent
that
ships
may
passe
along
foreby
all
the
side
of
the
citie
without
let
:
from
this
riuer
the
water
is
deriued
and
conueyed
downe
in
channels
of
lead
diuerse
waies
,
euen
into
the
highest
part
of
the
citie
,
which
doth
the
inhabitants
great
seruice
.
The
citie
is
compassed
about
with
high
and
thick
stone
walles
,
with
some
bulwarkes
,
and
a
dry
ditch
somewhat
broade
and
ouergrowne
with
bushes
,
briers
and
thornes
.
The
streetes
are
commodious
and
reasonable
broade
for
the
most
part
,
with
diuerse
gorgious
and
faire
buildings
standing
together
without
partition
,
diuerse
gardens
are
enclosed
by
the
backe
part
of
the
streete
,
all
in
good
order
and
most
commodious
.
Almost
in
the
middle
part
of
this
citie
in
a
most
sumptuous
and
stately
building
,
being
foure
square
,
all
of
marble
&
free
stone
,
erected
vpon
seuerall
pillars
curiously
wrought
,
hath
this
Dragon
his
principall
and
most
ordinarie
habitation
,
albeit
he
wandreth
through
the
whole
Iland
at
his
pleasure
,
and
beareth
a
wonderfull
commaund
in
deuouring
&
destroying
an
infinite
number
,
altering
the
course
of
our
gouernment
.
For
the
the
execution
whereof
,
what
with
his
venimous
breath
,
what
with
his
subtilty
of
setting
men
together
by
the
eares
,
what
with
his
naturall
deuouring
,
or
what
with
his
alluring
Serenian
songs
,
he
hath
all
the
meanes
that
can
be
excogitated
,
euen
vnder
the
colour
of
religion
and
iustice
.
Wonder
not
(
good
sir
)
for
this
monstrous
beast
waxing
euery
moneth
bigger
one
then
another
,
is
like
vnto
the
Serpent
that
with
the
subtile
guile
of
Sathan
seduced
our
great
grand-mother
Eue
,
and
brought
all
her
posterity
into
exile
,
and
misery
vppon
mankind
,
and
so
doth
this
monster
bring
al
misery
and
calamitie
vnto
our
common-weale
.
Therefore
with
great
reason
it
was
recorded
,
that
great
was
the
faith
of
Saint
George
,
whereby
he
was
corroborated
and
made
valiant
to
deliuer
this
commonwealth
of
the
like
cruell
and
execrable
monster
,
which
daily
deuoured
so
many
oxen
,
sheep
,
and
other
cattell
,
and
at
last
all
reasonable
creatures
,
vntill
by
the
fatall
lot
the
kings
daughter
was
in
danger
and
appointed
to
be
deuoured
.
Neither
must
you
imagine
,
that
this
infernall
dragon
doth
deuoure
so
many
creatures
,
as
it
were
consuming
them
,
but
by
sleight
,
deuises
and
stratagemes
,
he
causeth
them
to
destroy
one
another
,
in
such
sort
as
I
haue
determined
to
tell
you
.
But
first
I
will
tell
you
in
what
maner
,
and
by
what
meanes
the
inhabitants
of
this
Iland
did
liue
before
this
monster
was
bred
in
hell
,
next
what
the
conditions
and
qualities
are
of
those
that
be
in
league
with
him
.
And
lastly
what
practises
this
dragon
vseth
with
euery
member
of
our
weale
publicke
,
to
the
generall
destruction
therof
.
O
Codrus
of
Athens
,
wert
thou
aliue
to
destroy
this
serpentine
dragon
,
that
creepeth
not
vpon
his
belly
,
as
the
serpent
of
Paradise
was
condemned
to
do
,
and
feedeth
not
on
earth
,
but
domineereth
on
his
foure
indented
Harpyon
feete
,
feeding
on
the
most
precious
meate
,
which
doth
command
all
other
meates
and
delicacies
.
And
behold
his
cruelty
by
so
much
the
greater
,
as
most
vsually
this
meate
is
prepared
vnto
him
by
the
poorer
sort
,
and
vpon
them
he
feedeth
most
greedily
.
And
whether
euer
that
serpent
went
skipping
vpon
his
taile
before
the
curse
,
I
know
not
:
but
I
am
sure
this
beareth
his
taile
aloft
like
a
conquerer
,
riding
in
his
triumphant
chariot
.
The
curse
of
the
Scripture
denounced
against
him
is
neglected
,
the
writings
of
Diuines
hath
no
efficacie
,
the
Canonists
cursings
is
without
vertue
,
the
prohibition
of
Ciuilians
is
ouercome
by
the
tolleration
of
the
Statute
Law
,
and
the
manner
of
mens
actions
before
this
monster
did
tyrannize
,
is
cleane
forgotten
,
whereas
Licurgus
did
banish
this
canker
worme
out
of
Sparta
,
Amasis
did
punish
him
seuerely
in
AEgypt
,
Cato
did
banish
him
also
out
of
Sicilia
,
and
Solon
did
condemne
him
in
Athens
.
And
should
not
we
do
the
like
,
if
some
Lucullus
would
deliuer
vs
of
this
contagion
,
wherewith
we
are
infected
,
when
as
Sergius
Galba
being
president
of
Affrica
,
vnder
the
Emperour
Claudius
,
caused
one
to
be
punished
with
death
by
famine
,
for
feeding
and
entertaining
this
monster
,
which
like
a
whirle-poole
swalloweth
whatsoeuer
it
catcheth
?
The
inhabitants
of
this
noble
Iland
did
liue
by
the
naturall
richesse
of
the
lands
they
were
borne
vnto
,
or
by
the
artificiall
riches
they
were
bred
vnto
,
according
to
their
education
&
profession
,
euery
man
vsing
and
enioying
his
own
,
&
nothing
but
his
own
,
which
in
regard
of
charity
euery
man
possessing
,
yet
seemed
not
to
possesse
at
all
:
Clergy
men
and
magistrates
did
liue
by
their
reuenues
and
pensions
,
Noblemen
and
Gentlemen
of
their
lands
,
husbandmen
by
their
farmes
,
merchants
and
citizens
by
their
trade
,
artificers
by
their
craft
and
handyworke
;
all
of
them
making
a
perfect
consent
and
harmony
of
the
gouernement
of
a
common-wealth
,
in
proportionable
manner
with
exercise
of
religion
,
and
due
administration
of
iustice
in
time
of
peace
,
and
necessary
prouision
for
warre
,
which
the
Prince
is
to
prouide
for
in
the
two
seasons
of
peace
and
warre
.
And
from
the
Prince
as
from
a
liuely
fountaine
all
vertues
did
descend
into
the
bosome
of
that
common-wealth
,
his
worthy
counsellors
were
with
the
magistrates
as
ornaments
of
the
Law
,
and
did
ministrate
(
like
Phisitions
to
the
weale
publicke
)
good
potions
for
the
ridding
out
of
all
distemperate
humors
:
euery
man
was
contented
to
liue
in
his
vocation
with
true
obedience
:
so
that
experience
it selfe
made
manifest
proofe
,
Iustice
to
be
ordained
of
God
,
as
a
measure
amongst
men
one
earth
,
to
defend
the
feeble
from
the
mighty
,
for
the
suppressing
of
iniuries
,
and
to
roote
out
the
wicked
from
among
the
good
,
prescribing
how
to
liue
honestly
,
to
hurt
no
man
wilfully
,
and
to
render
euery
man
his
due
,
carefully
furthering
what
is
right
,
and
prohibiting
what
is
wrong
:
to
which
intent
euery
man
did
endeuor
himselfe
for
the
good
of
the
common-wealth
,
obseruing
concord
,
&
all
things
in
the
course
of
traffike
were
caried
with
an
equalitie
,
free
lending
was
vsed
,
hospitality
maintained
,
commiseration
towards
the
poore
was
exercised
,
and
loue
which
is
the
very
summe
and
substance
of
the
Law
,
did
flourish
to
the
generall
comfort
of
a
Christian
society
.
But
since
the
accursed
comming
of
this
hell
hound
,
the
concord
is
broken
,
charity
is
growne
cold
,
inequality
is
crept
in
,
by
falsifying
our
measure
:
the
generall
rule
,
Do
as
thou
wouldest
be
done
vnto
,
is
broken
,
free
lending
is
banished
,
oppression
must
needs
flourish
,
and
no
man
seemeth
to
be
contented
to
liue
in
his
vocation
,
as
though
Pride
sitting
vpon
the
highest
degree
,
did
contend
with
Ambition
for
preheminence
.
Briefe
,
our
common-weale
will
in
time
be
more
like
a
prison
,
where
this
beast
with
his
adherents
liueth
like
a
Iaylor
,
with
his
family
in
pleasure
and
wealth
,
whiles
all
other
weepe
and
smart
for
it
.
Auarice
found
out
this
monster
,
which
nourisheth
idlenesse
,
and
idlenesse
is
the
bringer
forth
of
euils
.
Our
society
and
weale
publicke
is
furnished
with
sixe
necessary
things
,
namely
diuine
seruice
,
iudgement
,
armes
,
riches
,
arts
and
sustenance
,
all
which
are
brought
out
of
their
due
course
and
proportionable
order
,
and
those
that
haue
the
managing
thereof
as
Clergy
men
,
Magistrates
,
Noblemen
,
Merchants
,
Artificers
and
Husbandmen
,
and
such
as
are
comprehended
vnder
these
,
cannot
execute
their
charge
according
to
their
profession
.
For
behold
the
insinuating
dealings
which
this
monster
vseth
with
some
of
the
better
sort
,
and
his
cruell
proceedings
with
the
inferiour
.
He
giueth
them
ability
to
destroy
one
another
,
and
many
times
the
seuen
leane
kine
of
Pharao
do
deuoure
the
seauen
fat
kine
,
and
yet
proue
no
whit
fatter
themselues
.
Some
neglecting
their
charge
,
haue
their
minds
filled
with
worldly
cares
,
and
ability
giuen
them
with
Simon
Magus
to
buy
that
which
ought
to
be
freely
giuen
,
which
maketh
them
to
sell
that
which
they
shold
freely
giue
.
Others
he
maketh
with
Ananias
&
Saphira
to
dissemble
with
God
,
tempring
the
holy
Ghost
,
boasting
of
false
liberality
,
being
like
cloudes
and
wind
without
raine
.
Hospitality
is
by
his
meanes
turned
into
Iacke
Droms
entertainement
,
and
and
Laban
and
Nabal
,
two
Churles
in
the
Scripture
mentioned
,
hauing
but
one
name
preposterously
taken
,
as
being
too
many
,
are
propagated
into
an
infinite
number
.
Others
he
causeth
to
measure
Gods
blessings
by
worldly
riches
,
and
with
the
kite
to
mount
exceeding
high
in
outward
shew
,
but
neuer
looking
vpwards
to
heauen
,
hauing
the
eyes
of
their
minde
set
and
fixed
below
on
worldly
things
.
Others
do
blow
with
him
the
windy
bellowes
of
the
organs
of
vaine
glory
,
and
without
his
helpe
they
should
giue
but
little
sound
.
Others
do
neglect
to
relieue
the
poore
,
and
put
innocent
Ioseph
(
being
in
prison
)
in
obliuion
.
Others
are
by
his
meanes
so
inticed
with
the
feeding
of
delicacies
,
that
setting
all
religion
aside
with
Festus
,
they
accuse
Saint
Paule
of
madnesse
,
euen
in
the
presence
of
Agrippa
.
Others
he
maketh
with
Lot
to
be
so
loytering
and
trifling
in
Sodome
,
that
the
Angell
is
faine
to
plucke
them
out
with
violence
,
when
God
is
pleased
to
saue
them
.
Others
he
maketh
to
go
loaden
with
gold
and
siluer
,
gauling
their
soules
vntill
they
be
despoiled
thereof
by
death
,
and
cast
into
the
loathsome
stable
of
damnation
:
like
vnto
the
mules
of
Princes
,
going
all
the
day
loaden
with
treasure
,
and
couered
with
faire
clothes
vntill
they
be
shaken
off
into
a
sorry
stable
.
Others
he
maketh
voide
of
all
charity
,
which
will
lend
no
money
but
for
gaine
,
vnto
such
men
as
they
esteeme
to
be
good
,
but
nothing
to
the
poore
man
,
although
the
pawne
of
the
Gospell
doth
assure
them
,
that
God
is
the
poore
mans
surety
,
and
will
for
his
promise
sake
pay
all
mens
debts
,
though
the
men
be
neuer
so
vnthankfull
.
Others
he
maketh
to
vse
the
Lawes
like
vnto
cobwebs
,
to
catch
onely
litle
flies
,
and
to
haue
ability
to
purchase
dignities
.
Others
haue
ability
giuen
them
by
the
multiplicities
of
sutes
grounded
vpon
bonds
and
counterbonds
,
to
accumulate
riches
,
and
to
incorporate
farmes
,
and
to
make
vnlawfull
inclosures
of
grounds
,
to
the
decay
of
manie
.
Others
he
causeth
to
account
nothing
to
be
science
or
learning
,
but
that
wherewith
money
is
to
be
gotten
to
feede
him
withall
,
because
they
find
that
a
lumpish
blockhead
churle
,
which
hath
no
more
wit
then
an
asse
,
shall
haue
many
wise
and
good
men
in
subiection
and
bondage
,
onely
for
this
,
because
he
hath
a
great
heape
of
gold
and
siluer
.
Others
he
causeth
to
put
the
kings
daughter
in
danger
,
feeding
thereuppon
with
this
dragon
to
the
kings
great
losse
and
hinderance
,
if
he
haue
present
occasion
to
vse
his
reasure
,
which
by
the
meanes
of
the
dragons
taile
may
be
exported
.
Others
hauing
of
this
meate
belonging
vnto
the
king
,
do
detaine
the
same
into
their
hands
to
please
this
monster
,
and
to
share
the
booty
betweene
them
.
Others
he
causeth
to
put
the
king
in
remembrance
of
certaine
olde
mo●th-eaten
lawes
,
of
euery
man
forgotten
,
as
a
way
vnto
him
honorable
and
profitable
,
hauing
a
shew
and
colour
of
Iustice
,
and
all
this
for
to
be
meate
for
him
to
feede
vpon
.
Others
haue
a
present
greater
abilitie
giuen
them
to
liue
licenciously
,
following
whores
,
harlots
,
wine-tauernes
,
and
many
other
vnlawfull
games
,
to
their
vtter
destruction
.
Others
do
augment
by
his
meanes
the
number
of
vagabonds
,
which
through
idlenesse
the
(
root
of
all
mischief
)
do
commit
robbery
and
theft
,
and
then
are
they
destroyed
by
the
gallowes
.
Others
he
causeth
to
spend
their
stockes
by
prodigall
riot
,
sumptuous
fare
,
and
strange
and
proud
new
fangles
in
their
apparell
,
growing
insolent
,
and
riding
a
gallop
with
a
lame
jade
,
and
yet
are
they
too
,
soone
destroyed
by
warre
or
otherwise
.
Others
hauing
spent
their
goods
,
he
beateth
with
the
whores
and
harlots
(
like
to
the
prodigall
sonne
)
out
of
doores
,
when
they
haue
no
more
for
him
to
feede
vpon
.
Others
he
maketh
to
whet
their
kniues
vpon
a
chalke
stone
,
neuer
sharping
them
,
spending
their
time
and
dulling
their
wits
,
with
the
vse
of
dicing
and
carding
,
when
the
boxe
doth
carrie
away
the
gaines
on
both
sides
.
Others
hauing
deuoured
and
consumed
by
his
meanes
all
what
they
could
come
by
,
or
had
about
them
,
do
creepe
out
like
the
vermine
out
of
the
nut
,
and
then
are
they
but
newly
borne
.
Others
he
maketh
not
to
be
contented
to
liue
idle
themselues
like
dorrers
of
that
which
others
haue
laboured
for
,
polling
and
shauing
their
tenants
to
the
quicke
:
but
to
carry
about
with
them
at
their
tailes
a
great
flocke
or
traine
of
followers
:
which
being
turned
off
,
when
he
hath
vndermined
their
maisters
liuing
,
become
vnthrifty
,
and
hauing
neuer
learned
any
craft
whereby
to
get
their
liuing
,
fall
a
stealing
,
&
are
by
the
gallowes
cut
off
,
if
by
warres
they
suffer
not
a
commendable
death
.
Others
he
maketh
to
be
like
raging
and
roaring
Lions
,
spoyling
and
deuouring
all
that
they
can
catch
or
come
by
.
Others
haue
ability
giuen
them
to
be
like
vnto
great
flouds
and
swelling
riuers
,
when
they
ouerflow
their
channels
,
and
do
breake
through
their
bankes
,
by
reason
of
their
raging
and
violent
streame
,
hurting
what
they
find
in
their
way
,
polling
and
pilling
the
richesse
and
substance
of
the
silly
weake
and
poore
,
filling
their
purses
with
the
bloud
of
innocents
,
and
building
their
houses
and
dignities
by
the
destruction
of
others
.
Others
he
maketh
wealthy
and
rich
,
and
like
sheepe
and
kine
which
are
put
into
pasturs
to
be
prepared
for
the
shambles
,
or
like
oxen
wearing
the
garland
against
the
day
of
their
slaughter
.
Hercules
his
exploit
in
killing
the
Serpent
Hydras
was
great
,
because
it
had
many
heads
,
and
after
the
amputation
of
one
,
another
did
arise
:
But
the
heads
of
this
monster
do
multiply
without
that
any
be
cut
off
,
and
those
that
are
infected
therwith
,
are
as
swelling
monsters
,
like
vnto
those
that
are
diseased
with
the
dropsie
,
which
the
more
they
drinke
,
the
more
increaseth
their
desire
of
drinking
.
Some
he
causeth
with
Sampson
to
discouer
the
secret
of
their
strength
,
vnto
Dalilah
,
and
before
they
do
perceiue
the
same
,
their
lockes
are
shorne
off
suddenly
,
and
their
strength
is
taken
away
.
Others
he
causeth
to
bestow
all
their
wealth
vpon
the
opinion
of
men
,
in
gemmes
and
precious
stones
,
as
fit
meate
and
commodious
for
him
to
feede
vpon
,
in
hope
that
the
folly
of
others
shall
pay
for
all
:
wherby
he
bringeth
some
to
destruction
;
for
these
things
increasing
and
not
wearing
away
,
neither
being
consumed
,
must
of
necessitie
consume
others
.
Others
he
causeth
to
deuoure
one
another
,
and
by
his
posteriors
he
doth
auoide
them
both
as
excrements
.
Diana
is
preuented
to
cause
Acteon
to
be
deuoured
of
his
owne
dogges
.
Hero
and
Leander
may
drown
themselues
without
an
Ocean
.
For
this
monster
is
the
right
firebrand
which
Samson
put
betweene
the
foxes
tailes
to
burne
the
rickes
and
standing
corn
,
with
the
vineyardes
and
oliues
.
For
the
world
consisting
of
strife
,
warre
,
and
discord
,
must
needes
bring
a
confusion
,
and
fall
into
wasting
,
spoiling
and
destroying
,
when
this
monster
doth
augment
the
causes
thereof
.
Consider
then
,
how
iustice
and
religion
can
flourish
?
the
one
shewing
vs
how
we
ought
to
liue
in
this
life
,
and
the
other
teaching
vs
of
the
life
to
come
.
Will
not
religion
suffer
shipwrack
in
time
,
when
charitie
decayeth
and
the
bonds
of
loue
are
broken
,
and
diuersities
of
opinions
are
the
causes
of
Schismes
?
Shal
I
with
the
Philosophers
describe
iustice
to
be
of
foure
sorts
:
Celestiall
,
Naturall
,
Ciuill
and
Iudiciall
:
I
shall
but
knocke
at
a
deafe
mans
doore
:
yet
in
hope
of
the
antiquitie
thereof
,
which
(
as
Cicero
saith
)
will
make
the
same
flourish
,
I
demaund
where
Celestiall
iustice
(
which
is
the
perfect
consideration
and
dutie
to
God
)
is
found
,
seeing
that
Naturall
iustice
,
which
all
men
should
haue
amongst
themselues
by
nature
,
is
banished
,
which
was
the
cause
that
Ciuill
iustice
was
made
,
grounded
vpon
the
law
of
nature
,
the
statutes
of
the
people
,
the
consultation
of
the
Senators
,
or
the
authoritie
of
graue
and
wise
men
,
as
the
deuice
of
Princes
,
whereupon
also
Iudiciall
iustice
dependeth
,
for
the
commoditie
of
the
common-wealth
.
In
regard
whereof
we
are
in
hope
that
one
day
this
monster
shall
be
destroyed
.
For
the
better
accomplishment
wherof
,
I
would
our
images
of
Iudges
were
erected
againe
,
hauing
neither
hands
nor
eyes
.
O
Manlius
Torquatus
who
shall
imitate
thee
in
the
execution
of
of
iustice
,
not
sparing
thine
owne
son
?
The
members
of
our
common-wealth
which
haue
the
managing
of
the
naturall
and
artificiall
riches
,
are
dealt
withall
in
most
strange
and
subtill
manner
by
this
monster
,
which
hath
his
principall
delight
therefore
to
feede
vpon
them
,
&
with
his
scornfull
looke
,
recreating
his
mind
with
the
internal
miserie
of
the
mind
of
his
leaguors
,
and
with
the
externall
calamity
of
the
body
,
&
inward
troubles
of
the
mind
of
others
,
he
beareth
a
wonderfull
sway
.
Those
that
be
in
league
with
him
,
&
become
miserable
in
mind
,
he
haled
with
a
cable
rope
of
vnsatiable
desires
,
causing
them
to
make
no
period
or
comma
from
the
highest
Zodiacke
or
Climate
to
the
lowest
Centre
,
&
to
be
more
foolish
than
Tantalus
,
amidst
the
water
dying
of
thirst
,
obtaining
with
Mydas
the
transmutation
of
all
things
they
touch
into
gold
,
&
staruing
for
want
of
food
:
for
they
make
by
his
instigation
of
abundance
,
indigence
,
to
the
end
that
by
possessing
more
,
they
should
haue
lesse
,
as
not
hauing
a
hart
giuen
them
(
as
the
wiseman
saith
)
to
enioy
their
wealth
He
maketh
them
thinke
with
the
Ape
that
is
tyed
to
the
clogge
,
that
he
keepeth
the
clog
,
&
not
the
clog
him
,
for
they
keepe
not
their
riches
,
but
riches
keepeth
them
,
and
entangleth
their
minds
.
He
maketh
them
like
vnto
the
Asse
which
carrieth
meate
for
his
maisters
belly
,
&
the
clothes
for
his
backe
,
yet
himselfe
is
contented
to
feede
vpon
grasse
,
and
to
weare
a
haire
skinne
,
for
miserie
hath
assaulted
their
soules
.
He
maketh
them
like
vnto
the
Indian
Ants
or
Emets
,
who
gather
the
gold
and
keep
it
,
although
they
cannot
vse
it
,
and
to
hunt
after
goods
,
graunting
them
onely
the
sight
,
and
not
the
vse
thereof
:
he
maketh
their
riches
to
increase
,
as
though
he
would
make
them
contented
,
seeming
to
quench
the
fire
by
casting
oyle
into
it
,
and
making
them
more
couetous
.
He
causeth
diuerse
to
get
their
goods
fraudulently
,
and
by
taking
of
forfeitures
,
which
maketh
them
to
hide
their
treasure
,
or
to
purchase
lands
therewith
:
when
as
their
heires
shall
vnthritily
spend
that
,
which
they
haue
vnlawfully
gotten
.
Some
he
maketh
like
vnto
the
wolues
of
Syria
,
which
delight
to
bark
against
the
Moone
,
spending
their
time
about
nothing
,
and
entertaining
Podagra
,
for
the
most
part
of
the
yere
.
He
caused
him
that
did
dreame
to
haue
spent
a
great
summe
of
money
in
a
banquet
,
to
haue
so
strong
an
imagination
,
that
by
the
apprehension
therof
,
thinking
the
same
to
be
true
,
went
to
hang
himselfe
most
desperately
,
hauing
bought
for
the
purpose
a
two
penie
halter
,
and
being
saued
from
hanging
by
the
meanes
of
his
friends
which
did
cut
the
halter
,
would
notwithstanding
make
his
friends
pay
for
that
halter
.
He
caused
the
vnthriftie
sonne
to
hang
himselfe
,
that
gaping
for
his
fathers
death
for
to
enioy
the
goods
of
this
nature
,
became
desperate
vpon
the
witches
declaration
,
that
his
father
should
yet
liue
thirtie
yeares
.
He
caused
that
miser
(
who
hauing
hid
his
treasure
in
a
hollow
tree
,
and
finding
the
same
taken
away
)
to
hang
himselfe
,
changing
his
treasure
with
the
halter
that
a
poore
man
left
:
who
by
the
finding
of
this
treasure
was
saued
from
hanging
,
being
through
the
cruell
dealings
of
others
become
desperate
.
Some
he
causeth
to
haue
all
their
wealth
in
paper
and
inke
,
or
parchment
,
which
they
accompt
as
precious
as
the
golden
fleece
,
multiplying
the
same
in
their
imagination
vntill
they
die
,
when
as
the
debtors
haue
of
a
long
time
bene
insoluent
,
and
they
deceiued
with
false
pleasure
,
like
vnto
those
who
hiding
their
gold
in
the
ground
do
depriue
themselues
of
the
vse
of
it
,
hoping
for
ioy
:
when
as
the
gold
hauing
bene
stolen
and
they
ignorant
thereof
,
dye
ten
yeares
after
,
and
all
that
ten
yeares
that
they
liued
after
the
money
was
stolen
,
haue
fed
themselues
with
a
vaine
conceipt
.
Others
he
maketh
to
grow
and
spread
as
great
oakes
full
of
branches
,
by
whose
dropping
he
destroyeth
and
suffocateth
the
young
little
sprigs
.
Others
he
causeth
to
be
more
doggish
then
the
dogs
themselues
,
which
will
sooner
licke
the
vlcers
and
sores
of
Lazarus
,
then
they
will
giue
any
releefe
to
the
poore
.
Others
he
causeth
to
sel
their
lands
and
goods
,
and
to
liue
obscurely
,
like
vnto
the
staring
owle
,
which
will
not
looke
vpon
the
bright
sunne
.
Others
he
maketh
to
seeme
that
which
they
are
not
,
like
vnto
the
hypocrites
which
are
as
a
wooden
leg
set
to
the
body
,
being
no
member
thereof
.
Others
he
maketh
like
vnto
madde
men
,
desiring
nothing
so
much
as
to
get
water
,
by
reason
of
their
excessiue
distemperature
,
when
as
there
is
nothing
so
much
tormenting
them
;
as
the
abundance
of
riches
.
Others
he
maketh
like
vnto
the
Moone
when
she
is
at
the
full
,
and
then
farthest
from
the
sunne
of
whom
she
hath
her
light
:
and
so
by
increasing
their
riches
,
remoueth
them
farther
from
God
and
godlinesse
.
Others
which
be
leane
,
like
vnto
the
henne
which
daily
did
lay
an
egge
,
or
in
poore
estate
did
good
deedes
and
were
vertuous
,
he
causeth
to
become
fat
,
leauing
the
laying
of
egges
,
and
to
become
wealthie
and
vitious
.
Others
he
maketh
like
hogges
to
feed
vpon
acornes
vnder
the
oake
,
and
in
steed
to
looke
thankefully
vpward
,
to
deuoure
the
garment
of
him
that
feedeth
them
.
Others
he
causeth
to
be
like
vnto
the
fawning
Spaniell
,
which
oftentimes
fetcheth
his
maisters
gloue
,
in
hope
to
change
it
for
a
better
morsell
:
doing
a
small
pleasure
,
to
the
end
they
might
reape
a
greater
aduantage
.
Others
he
maketh
to
be
like
flouds
,
which
send
their
waters
into
the
sea
,
and
leaue
the
dry
land
(
which
is
thirstie
)
vnwatered
,
bestowing
or
leauing
their
goods
vnto
those
that
need
them
not
.
Others
are
exalted
like
vnto
the
Iuie
sticking
to
the
boughes
of
trees
,
and
yet
by
an
ouerhard
embracing
do
hinder
the
growing
of
the
trees
,
making
meane
men
to
oppresse
their
betters
,
by
whose
meanes
they
haue
bene
aduanced
.
Others
he
maketh
to
liue
idle
,
and
their
braines
to
become
a
shop
for
the
Diuels
Alchemy
,
sowing
tares
amongst
the
wheat
,
whiles
men
are
asleepe
,
setting
with
the
traiterous
seruant
,
the
doore
open
to
the
theefe
.
Others
he
maketh
to
thinke
that
the
increase
of
riches
commeth
by
their
owne
meanes
:
whereas
with
king
Kanutus
who
in
this
Iland
would
haue
commaunded
the
waters
,
they
should
learne
,
that
they
were
commaunded
by
the
heauenly
power
.
Others
he
maketh
like
vnto
the
two
theeues
of
Esops
fable
,
the
one
stealing
,
and
the
other
the
receiuer
or
conueyer
.
His
strength
lyeth
chiefly
in
his
taile
:
for
triall
whereof
,
euen
for
his
recreation
and
sport
,
after
a
full
stomack
,
he
will
many
times
encounter
with
great
Elephants
,
clapping
his
taile
about
their
mil-post
legges
,
and
neuer
leauing
them
vntil
he
haue
felled
their
vnweildie
bodies
to
the
ground
.
But
behold
his
subtill
proceedings
,
for
he
will
not
onely
change
colours
with
the
Camelion
,
but
also
weepe
for
their
ouerthrowe
with
the
Crocodiles
teares
,
when
as
hee
intended
to
make
them
instruments
to
serue
his
turne
.
With
the
wild
boare
and
swine
,
which
are
wont
to
eate
and
destroy
all
other
corne
,
he
will
beware
of
bearded
wheate
,
because
of
the
prickie
beards
which
do
hurt
him
,
as
the
authoritie
of
great
men
.
Yet
sometimes
like
the
boare
franking
in
his
stye
,
he
will
consume
men
of
many
miles
off
,
by
the
means
of
his
leaguors
and
attendants
,
whereby
he
knoweth
the
lands
and
abilities
of
noble
men
and
gentlemen
,
yeoman
and
husbandmen
,
and
here
he
will
gobble
vp
a
whole
towne
,
and
there
a
goodly
parke
,
here
a
Lordship
or
Manor
,
and
there
a
most
pleasant
wood
.
Some
he
causeth
to
weaue
continually
Penelopes
cloath
,
vndoing
by
night
that
which
they
made
in
the
day
,
and
loosing
one
way
that
which
they
get
another
way
.
Others
he
setteth
on
Icarian
wings
with
waxe
,
and
maketh
them
to
flie
euen
aboue
the
cloudes
,
when
as
the
waxe
by
the
heate
of
the
sunne
dissoluing
,
they
are
drowned
vnawares
.
Others
that
vpon
pleasure
entertaine
him
,
and
haue
taken
him
vp
out
of
the
snow
,
being
almost
dead
with
the
snake
of
AEsope
,
do
find
him
readie
to
bite
of
their
throate
in
processe
of
time
.
Others
he
causeth
to
serue
his
turn
,
whose
labour
like
vnto
the
Cats
paw
,
he
maketh
to
serue
as
the
Ape
did
,
to
take
the
chesnuts
out
of
the
fire
for
his
owne
vse
.
Others
he
maketh
with
the
hauke
to
mount
so
high
,
trusting
to
their
wings
and
other
mens
feathers
,
that
they
lose
themselues
,
and
their
wit
and
wisedome
is
ouercome
.
Others
he
maketh
so
poore
,
that
they
are
alwaies
in
prison
,
forth-comming
,
but
neuer
comming
forth
.
Others
he
causeth
alwaies
to
be
waited
on
by
Serieants
,
and
their
clokes
cannot
take
hold
at
a
butchers
hooke
,
but
they
imagine
that
the
Serieants
Mace
taketh
them
by
the
backe
.
Others
he
playeth
withall
like
the
Cat
with
the
mouse
for
a
time
for
to
eate
her
vp
,
or
like
the
flie
about
the
candle
,
and
in
the
end
are
brought
to
destruction
.
Others
he
maketh
like
vnto
AEsops
Iay
,
clad
with
the
feathers
of
other
birds
,
which
being
discouered
and
stript
of
all
,
for
a
reward
are
throughly
scorned
,
and
turned
from
their
scarlet
Gownes
,
into
blacke
threed-bare
cloakes
.
Others
he
maketh
like
vnto
bondmen
and
slaues
,
that
though
they
toile
and
labour
neuer
so
much
,
all
is
for
their
maisters
,
and
they
get
nothing
for
themselues
.
He
causeth
Mariners
to
conspire
against
their
ships
,
and
the
diuell
Bommery
to
arise
to
boare
holes
to
make
them
sinke
and
perish
.
He
maketh
many
owners
of
ships
,
and
by
their
discord
to
destroy
shipping
.
For
he
is
like
vnto
the
worme
called
of
Plinie
Teredo
,
that
breedeth
in
timber
,
which
being
touched
or
handled
seemeth
gentle
and
soft
,
and
yet
hath
so
hard
teeth
that
he
destroyeth
all
manner
of
wood
.
He
draweth
with
the
Lady
Claudia
,
the
ship
wherein
the
idoll
of
the
Goddesse
Bona
is
,
and
maketh
that
the
Mariners
(
like
vnto
the
young
men
)
not
once
do
stirre
.
He
causeth
the
water
to
get
in
secretly
,
and
to
increase
by
the
Pumpes
of
their
shippes
,
so
that
both
they
and
their
ships
are
drowned
.
He
causeth
many
apprentises
to
become
vntimely
maisters
,
when
as
swimming
with
other
mens
bladders
,
they
are
soone
drowned
.
He
maketh
them
to
spoile
their
maisters
occupation
and
their
owne
,
and
not
to
be
able
to
liue
by
that
they
were
bred
vnto
.
He
maketh
the
husbandman
vnable
to
liue
by
his
farme
,
and
giueth
ability
vnto
others
to
incorporate
them
to
the
decay
of
husbandry
.
He
maketh
sheepe
to
become
deuourers
of
men
,
destroying
the
lustie
husbandmen
which
are
alwaies
the
best
souldiers
.
He
maketh
the
husbandman
to
make
money
of
his
woods
and
trees
,
in
proyning
his
old
trees
,
and
neuer
to
mipe
or
graffe
young
settes
,
so
that
the
woods
do
daily
decay
,
and
the
trees
dye
within
few
yeares
.
He
maketh
them
to
sell
their
croppes
halfe
for
nought
,
and
to
buye
such
things
deare
as
they
haue
neede
of
.
He
will
like
a
thorne-bush
succour
and
shelter
a
poore
silly
sheepe
in
some
storme
or
tempest
a
litle
while
:
but
when
she
departeth
from
the
bush
,
keep
backe
a
peece
of
her
fleece
,
and
that
so
often
vntill
all
be
consumed
.
He
bringeth
with
the
Bee
sweete
hony
in
his
mouth
,
but
a
very
sharpe
sting
in
his
taile
.
The
horse
of
Gargantua
had
not
so
much
strength
in
his
taile
as
he
hath
,
for
the
same
being
pricked
of
flies
,
did
beate
downe
with
his
taile
,
all
the
trees
of
a
great
wood
.
But
this
Dragon
by
the
meanes
of
his
taile
causeth
others
to
transport
whole
woods
,
with
trees
,
houses
and
lands
into
forreine
countries
.
He
maketh
the
prosperitie
of
common-wealthes
to
be
like
vnto
the
grasse
on
the
house
top
,
which
for
lacke
of
roote
withereth
afore
it
can
grow
vp
to
be
mowne
,
and
the
Princes
bare
of
flesh
,
and
voyd
of
strength
,
like
vnto
harts
that
can
find
no
pasture
,
for
the
common-wealthes
treasure
(
which
he
transporteth
)
is
accounted
theirs
.
He
is
the
cause
that
the
kings
treasure
is
like
water
powred
into
a
siue
or
basket
,
which
presently
runneth
out
,
and
is
neuer
filled
.
By
the
meanes
of
his
taile
he
maintaineth
a
league
with
forreine
nations
,
and
causeth
them
to
serue
his
turne
,
by
bringing
in
superfluous
commodities
at
a
deare
rate
,
and
they
to
feede
vppon
our
natiue
soile
,
to
the
common-wealthes
destruction
.
He
doth
falsifie
our
weight
and
measure
,
and
bringeth
thereby
inequality
,
to
our
ouer-great
hinderance
,
making
of
money
a
merchandize
.
He
carieth
out
our
treasure
in
bullion
and
money
,
empouerishing
our
commonweale
,
in
giuing
vs
chalke
for
cheese
,
making
vs
like
vnto
AEsops
dog
,
going
ouer
a
bridge
to
snatch
at
the
shadow
of
the
flesh
,
loosing
the
flesh
it selfe
.
He
causeth
vs
to
spend
farre
aboue
our
reuenues
,
and
maketh
vs
to
buy
more
then
we
sell
,
and
to
sell
our
home
commodities
good
cheape
,
and
to
pay
deare
for
the
forreine
commodities
,
all
tending
to
our
destruction
.
He
feedeth
vppon
both
kinds
of
commodities
,
and
maketh
the
husbandman
vnable
to
liue
by
his
farme
,
and
the
merchant
by
the
trade
of
our
owne
commodities
.
He
bringeth
inequality
betweene
the
estimation
of
the
naturall
riches
and
the
artificiall
riches
,
and
a
great
part
of
our
wealth
to
be
imaginatiue
.
He
giueth
ability
vnto
landed
men
to
incorporate
more
lands
and
farmes
conuerting
arable
ground
into
pasture
to
the
decay
of
husbandry
,
and
destruction
of
souldiers
.
He
giueth
ability
to
the
grower
,
not
to
haue
cause
to
bring
his
corne
or
cattell
to
the
market
,
but
rather
to
engrosse
more
,
and
to
sell
them
deare
,
or
to
haue
it
transported
vnto
other
nations
.
He
is
the
cause
of
dilapidations
of
cities
and
townes
,
and
depopulations
of
inhabitants
,
with
the
decay
of
their
occupations
and
handiworke
.
He
gnaweth
the
poore
artificer
to
the
bones
,
and
sucketh
out
the
bloud
and
marrow
from
him
,
feeding
on
him
most
greedily
.
He
causeth
by
the
incorporation
of
many
farmes
into
few
mens
hands
,
the
kings
subsidy
much
to
decrease
,
and
the
kings
rewards
or
recompenses
to
be
supplied
diuerse
wayes
.
He
is
like
Naa●
the
Ammonite
warring
against
the
men
of
Iabes
Gilead
,
who
would
not
raise
his
siege
,
but
vpon
condition
that
he
might
thrust
out
all
their
right
eyes
,
for
he
putteth
out
the
right
eyes
of
the
iudgement
of
gouernors
,
in
the
course
of
politike
gouernement
,
to
bring
common-weales
to
destruction
.
He
is
the
cause
of
rebellion
and
variance
in
countries
,
which
many
times
is
imputed
vnto
the
gouernours
thereof
,
and
maketh
men
generally
vnable
to
liue
by
the
naturall
or
artificiall
riches
whereunto
they
were
borne
or
bred
.
He
maketh
in
some
barren
and
vnfruitfull
yeares
many
thousands
of
people
to
starue
for
hunger
,
and
yet
diuerse
mens
barnes
to
be
well
furnished
with
corne
.
He
setteth
vp
pride
and
new fangled
apparell
,
by
the
meanes
of
the
merchant
that
bringeth
in
those
commodities
which
please
mens
humors
,
for
pride
doth
not
measure
wealth
and
prosperity
by
her
owne
commodities
,
but
by
the
misery
and
incommoditie
of
other
.
He
giueth
ability
to
intemperance
the
daughter
of
excesse
,
which
maketh
men
slaues
to
the
mouth
and
belly
,
bringing
them
both
wayes
to
destruction
.
He
maketh
money
to
be
the
creede
of
the
world
,
and
perswaded
men
to
seeke
first
money
,
and
that
honesty
then
will
follow
of
course
,
and
that
learning
and
wisdom
is
nothing
without
it
.
He
causeth
men
to
commence
sutes
in
law
for
euery
trifle
,
and
exaction
and
extortion
to
flourish
,
relying
vpon
the
penalties
and
forfeitures
of
bonds
and
counterbonds
.
He
striketh
out
with
the
rauen
,
first
of
all
the
sheepes
eyes
,
and
so
bringeth
to
passe
that
men
cannot
see
the
way
to
escape
his
tyranny
.
He
is
the
right
Cannibal
,
feeding
onely
vpon
raw
flesh
,
especially
of
men
,
and
like
an
Apothecary
he
couereth
his
bitter
bils
with
some
sweete
substance
,
to
make
them
to
go
downe
the
easier
.
He
maketh
men
to
fall
into
the
mire
,
&
the
more
they
stirre
,
the
more
are
they
defiled
and
brought
into
his
danger
:
for
like
a
bitter
and
pinching
blacke
frost
,
he
killeth
and
destroyeth
the
tender
,
sweete
and
beautifull
blossomes
.
He
will
not
haue
men
to
depend
vpon
the
reward
of
God
,
but
vpon
the
reward
of
man
,
for
charity
and
free
lending
he
causeth
to
be
banished
,
and
preferreth
the
brittle
mettal
before
the
eternall
treasure
.
He
maketh
the
hearts
of
his
leaguors
not
to
be
inflamed
with
a
true
and
sincere
loue
to
God
:
but
to
be
wide
open
vnto
all
temptations
,
like
vnto
a
pot
full
of
sweete
liquors
ouer
the
fire
(
which
not
boyling
)
are
corrupted
by
flies
,
and
they
are
become
the
wolues
of
our
Iland
,
since
that
all
other
wolues
haue
bene
destroyed
:
for
they
deuour
both
leane
and
fat
sheepe
.
He
maketh
men
generally
like
vnto
the
decreasing
moone
,
hauing
here
open
side
hanging
downward
,
&
their
harts
set
onely
on
worldly
things
,
whereas
with
the
moone
increasing
&
open
towards
heauen
,
they
should
be
gathering
light
,
and
not
step
aside
to
gather
feathers
,
and
leaue
to
runne
the
golden
game
of
inestimable
value
.
He
maketh
men
to
be
discontented
,
and
to
iudge
as
bondmen
do
of
those
that
are
free
,
neuer
being
contented
with
their
state
,
alwayes
beholding
how
much
inferior
they
are
vnto
others
.
And
to
conclude
,
whereas
euery
well
gouerned
common-wealth
is
to
keepe
a
certaine
equality
concerning
the
trafficke
betweene
them
and
other
countries
,
&
a
concord
amongst
the
members
of
their
common-wealth
,
when
euery
member
thereof
liueth
contentedly
in
his
vocation
,
this
dragon
hath
brought
in
discord
and
inequalitie
.
And
if
this
Gangrena
be
not
cured
,
it
will
in
time
subuert
the
whole
state
of
the
realme
,
for
Synons
horse
was
not
so
dangerous
to
the
Troyans
,
as
this
dragon
is
to
our
common-wealth
.
Conceiue
now
(
I
pray
you
)
in
your
imagination
on
the
one
side
,
the
cruelty
of
this
monster
,
and
his
subtile
practises
and
dealings
,
and
on
the
other
side
the
meekenesse
and
innocency
of
the
creatures
deuoured
by
him
and
by
his
meanes
.
And
because
the
consideration
there
of
wold
amaze
your
iudgement
,
do
but
remember
the
tender
and
inexplicable
loue
of
a
father
towards
his
child
,
and
especially
of
a
most
victorious
king
towards
his
faire
&
peereles
daughter
:
the
bright
splendent
beames
of
whose
angelicall
beauty
,
do
dim
my
sight
,
and
captiuate
my
vnderstanding
.
Hide
Absolon
thy
cleare
guilt
tresses
,
and
you
Hester
your
meeknes
&
beauty
,
giuing
place
to
this
Virgin
and
noble
creature
;
you
Penelope
,
Marcia
,
Lauine
and
Helleni
,
make
no
comparison
with
her
:
neither
you
Lucrece
and
Polixene
,
Dido
,
Laodomia
or
Tisbe
,
that
haue
bought
your
loue
so
deare
;
or
thou
Cleopatra
with
all
thy
passions
,
you
all
may
be
handmaids
vnto
her
:
for
her
melodious
voyce
doth
command
the
heathen
Gods
,
Bacchus
,
Pan
,
Ceres
&
Minerua
,
and
by
her
sweete
breath
a
second
life
is
inspired
into
you
all
.
Venus
her selfe
giueth
her
the
preheminence
,
for
the
strength
of
Cupide
without
her
countenance
will
soone
decay
,
his
firy
darts
will
soone
be
cold
,
and
his
wings
loose
their
viuacity
.
Mars
,
Pallas
and
Bellona
cannot
subsist
,
if
this
Virgin
should
withdraw
her
fauour
,
she
remaineth
still
a
Virgin
immaculate
,
though
all
the
world
seemeth
to
be
contaminated
by
her
,
for
her
constancy
is
singular
,
she
is
bright
shining
as
the
Moone
,
although
the
Eclipse
doth
darken
her
for
a
time
,
to
make
her
brightnesse
to
appeare
more
glorious
:
and
albeit
she
receiued
her
light
from
the
transparent
Sunne
,
yet
in
a
manner
she
seemeth
to
be
predominant
,
and
by
a
voluntarie
loue
to
command
,
for
she
is
the
rose
of
the
field
,
and
the
lilly
of
the
vallies
,
whose
fragrant
smell
as
the
sauour
of
good
ointments
poured
out
,
doth
reioyce
and
make
glad
the
king
,
and
maketh
him
runne
after
her
,
for
his
soule
loueth
her
,
and
he
hath
brought
her
into
his
chamber
,
where
like
a
bundle
of
mirrhe
she
lyeth
betweene
his
breasts
,
his
left
hand
is
vnder
her
head
,
and
his
right
hand
doth
embrace
her
,
for
she
is
faire
and
pleasaunt
.
She
came
accompanied
with
a
Lambe
representing
her
innocencie
,
her
amiable
eyes
the
messengers
of
her
perplexed
heart
,
distilling
salt
teares
,
did
wound
&
penetrate
the
cruellest
mind
:
the
lockes
of
her
golden
hanging
haire
did
adorne
her
as
a
triumphant
Goddesse
:
her
yuory
white
teeth
stood
like
a
flock
of
sheepe
in
good
order
:
from
her
scarlat
lips
did
drop
the
sweetenesse
of
hony
combes
,
for
hony
and
milke
was
vnder
her
tongue
,
and
the
sauour
of
her
garments
was
odoriferous
as
the
smell
of
Lebanon
:
her
straight
snow
white
necke
like
a
prety
towre
of
iuory
was
compassed
with
chaines
of
orientall
pearle
,
wearing
the
garland
of
her
virginity
of
most
precious
stones
,
as
a
royall
Diademe
:
and
yet
from
her
two
breasts
(
which
were
like
two
yong
Roes
that
are
twinnes
feeding
among
the
lillies
)
two
liuely
fountaines
of
celestiall
water
did
runne
,
nourishing
an
infinite
number
:
her
cheekes
were
as
a
bed
of
spices
,
and
as
sweet
floures
delectable
:
the
ioyntes
of
her
fingers
were
delicate
,
making
the
whitenesse
of
her
hands
to
haue
a
strong
attraction
.
For
in
briefe
such
was
her
perfection
,
that
Dame
Nature
was
ashamed
to
see
her selfe
ouercome
and
vanquished
of
her
owne
worke
:
her
admirable
body
was
couered
with
a
garment
of
white
silke
Damaske
hanging
loose
about
her
,
embrodered
with
letters
of
gold
Patientia
victrix
,
wherein
the
Sunne
with
the
assistance
of
AEolus
did
seeme
to
play
her
illustration
,
with
the
repercussion
of
the
varietie
of
colours
of
the
garments
of
the
Virgines
following
her
.
Consider
now
the
agony
of
her
mind
tempered
with
magnanimity
,
notwithstanding
the
aggrauating
therof
by
the
lamentation
of
her
associats
,
and
although
the
lot
cast
for
her
was
not
so
fatall
as
the
rash
vow
of
Iphtah
was
to
his
daughter
:
yet
she
had
greater
cause
to
go
to
the
mountaines
with
her
companions
,
to
lament
and
bewalie
her
virginitie
,
because
the
deuouring
of
the
dragon
was
farre
more
crueller
then
the
fire
wherewith
Iptahs
daughter
is
sayd
to
haue
bene
consumed
;
when
as
this
Virgin
being
brought
vp
like
a
kings
daughter
in
all
pleasures
and
delicacies
,
was
brought
to
the
sight
of
this
cruell
monster
,
and
that
she
was
ready
to
abandon
her
ornaments
,
preparing
her
gentle
body
to
his
cruelty
with
a
perfect
patience
.
If
Griselde
was
worthy
of
commendation
,
and
obtained
the
name
of
Patient
,
for
being
aduanced
by
the
Marquesse
of
Saluzze
,
who
tooke
her
from
a
poore
estate
to
be
his
wife
,
and
afterwards
to
try
her
,
made
a
shew
to
relinquish
her
againe
,
vnder
colour
that
he
would
haue
maried
another
,
which
(
vnknowne
vnto
her
)
was
her
owne
daughter
had
by
him
,
and
thereupon
depriued
her
of
all
her
ornaments
;
if
she
(
I
say
)
was
renowned
for
enduring
all
this
patiently
,
much
more
without
all
comparison
is
the
patience
of
this
rare
Virgin
to
be
had
in
perpetuall
remembrance
,
who
abandoning
all
her
peculiar
prerogatiues
and
pleasures
,
suffered
her
body
to
be
expounded
to
the
cruelty
of
this
monster
.
And
the
greater
was
the
exployt
of
Saint
George
in
deliuering
her
,
who
like
a
valiant
champion
being
arriued
into
this
Iland
,
and
vnderstanding
of
the
danger
she
was
in
,
came
with
a
Princely
resolution
to
deliuer
her
,
mounted
on
a
pyball
horse
of
seuerall
colours
,
armed
like
a
conquerour
,
to
fight
the
combat
with
the
shield
of
faith
,
hauing
on
the
breast-plate
of
righteousnesse
,
the
helmet
of
saluation
,
his
loynes
girt
about
with
verity
,
and
being
adorned
with
the
liuery
of
the
Crosse
,
did
with
the
sword
of
the
Spirit
destroy
this
monster
,
and
deliuered
this
Indian
Phenix
&
this
Iland
,
of
that
contagion
&
abominable
hell
hound
,
being
not
moued
or
amazed
at
his
terrible
sight
and
fashion
;
neither
regarding
those
that
were
in
league
with
this
dragon
,
or
tooke
vpon
them
to
speake
in
his
defence
.
What
vnspeakeable
ioy
came
therby
,
let
the
consideration
rauish
your
mind
,
and
ease
me
of
the
amplification
thereof
.
For
I
must
now
exactly
describe
vnto
you
this
dragon
concerning
his
compounded
body
,
as
I
haue
already
done
his
properties
,
and
the
effects
of
his
mischieuous
condition
and
qualities
.
His
ordinary
mansion
(
I
haue
told
you
)
to
be
about
the
middle
part
of
the
city
,
which
is
beset
with
many
grashoppers
round
about
,
without
any
green
fields
wheron
to
feed
,
for
they
be
not
wild
,
sauage
,
or
noysome
,
diuerse
of
those
that
be
in
league
with
the
dragon
are
like
toades
,
which
drinke
the
iuice
of
grapes
so
fast
,
till
ouercharged
with
the
broath
,
their
bowels
do
burst
,
casting
their
venimous
poyson
and
infecting
many
,
and
yet
the
aire
is
soft
,
temperate
and
gentle
.
Here
may
you
behold
this
hideous
monster
,
swelling
euery
moneth
bigger
one
then
another
,
with
his
fierie
flaming
eyes
,
seeming
to
cast
fire
at
euery
moment
,
by
the
means
of
his
tri●●●ted
toung
like
vnto
a
Turkish
dart
,
his
body
vnweildy
like
an
Elephant
,
but
his
taile
nimble
,
&
continually
wauering
&
inconstant
,
for
therin
consisteth
his
greatest
strength
&
actiuity
,
to
the
commonwealths
destruction
:
and
the
same
is
marked
with
the
new
Moon
of
the
Turkes
,
like
vnto
the
letter
C
,
and
his
forehead
with
an
F
,
like
a
fellon
,
he
walketh
vpon
his
foure
Harpion
legs
,
like
a
theefe
closely
to
surprise
any
man
either
by
night
or
day
:
for
he
omitteth
no
time
,
albeit
he
seemeth
with
the
index
of
the
dyall
not
to
moue
,
when
he
is
continually
moouing
,
and
stirred
in
such
sort
,
that
when
men
begin
to
perceiue
his
motion
,
and
pretend
to
runne
from
him
:
he
doth
so
allure
them
,
that
the
more
they
runne
,
the
more
he
seemeth
to
follow
them
,
as
the
moone
doth
to
the
little
children
,
whereby
his
motion
is
the
lesse
regarded
.
He
rideth
vpon
the
wings
of
time
,
and
by
imagination
hasteneth
the
course
thereof
:
so
that
he
that
sitteth
surest
may
be
ouerthrowne
,
for
he
hath
two
wings
to
fly
withall
,
the
one
hauing
an
internall
strength
from
the
mind
,
and
the
other
an
externall
from
the
bodie
:
that
of
the
mind
is
(
as
it
were
)
couered
with
a
vaile
:
but
the
other
is
plaine
and
naked
:
howbeit
both
of
them
are
indented
with
seuerall
braunches
,
wherewith
according
to
the
Adage
,
the
Diuell
seemeth
to
be
God
to
some
bodie
,
and
maketh
those
to
speak
in
his
defence
.
For
in
abusing
iustice
to
the
hurt
of
many
,
he
seemeth
to
do
good
vnto
some
particular
:
these
therefore
(
although
they
be
ashamed
of
him
)
do
allow
him
as
a
necessarie
member
in
a
common-wealth
,
like
vnto
the
hangman
which
for
executions
sake
must
needes
be
had
.
Others
doe
compare
him
to
be
admitted
,
as
the
husbandman
suffereth
many
weedes
to
grow
in
his
ground
which
he
likes
not
,
and
that
so
he
is
to
be
tollerated
;
when
as
in
the
like
manner
they
might
speake
for
murtherers
and
theeues
,
and
say
that
the
naturall
rule
(
Do
as
thou
wouldest
be
done
vnto
,
)
is
to
be
taken
generall
without
any
exception
in
all
things
and
in
all
respects
:
whereby
the
Magistrate
must
of
loue
spare
the
conuicted
malefactor
:
for
if
he
were
in
the
malefactors
case
,
he
wold
be
glad
to
be
spared
and
pardoned
himselfe
:
albeit
they
would
not
be
bound
by
this
rule
,
to
giue
all
their
goods
vnto
another
,
seeing
their
gripple
mind
is
such
,
that
they
would
willingly
an
other
man
should
giue
them
all
his
substance
.
They
would
be
contented
to
haue
mony
freely
lent
them
,
yet
they
would
lend
none
freely
themselues
,
for
(
say
they
)
I
must
make
a
gaine
of
my
money
,
which
is
as
lawfull
for
me
to
take
,
as
others
do
of
the
rents
of
their
houses
,
reuenues
of
lands
,
or
gaines
of
corne
and
cattell
,
or
wares
and
merchandizes
:
whereas
they
do
not
consider
,
that
money
was
ordained
as
a
pledge
or
right
betwixt
man
and
man
,
and
in
contracts
and
bargaining
a
iust
measure
and
proportion
,
which
measure
is
by
them
falsifyed
:
and
this
monster
causeth
them
to
incorporate
the
same
,
so
that
no
man
can
come
by
it
without
their
consent
and
paying
for
it
,
falsifying
and
altering
the
same
.
And
yet
can
they
find
fault
,
and
hold
for
very
absurd
,
if
vpon
plentie
or
scarcitie
of
corne
,
or
abundance
of
cloth
,
or
scarcitie
thereof
,
the
measure
or
yard
should
be
altered
vpon
all
occasions
,
considering
that
a
measure
ought
to
remaine
at
a
certaintie
.
But
what
cannot
this
dragon
bring
to
passe
?
when
he
will
seeme
to
be
a
protectour
of
orphanes
,
as
though
Magistrates
or
tutors
could
not
prouide
for
them
,
for
vnlesse
he
should
carie
some
shew
of
good
,
he
could
neuer
haue
raigned
so
long
:
he
seemeth
to
fauour
iustice
,
for
if
any
man
borrow
money
for
an
other
,
and
do
enter
his
bond
for
it
,
and
take
of
him
the
like
that
receiued
the
money
,
he
will
see
him
that
borrowed
the
money
recouer
that
by
lawe
ex
damno
habito
which
he
is
damnified
,
albeit
there
be
meanes
otherwise
to
satisfie
him
.
Againe
,
if
a
shopkeeper
lend
money
freely
to
his
neighbour
till
such
a
day
,
hauing
then
occasion
to
vse
it
at
some
faire
to
lay
it
out
in
wares
,
if
he
breake
touch
,
he
helpeth
the
shopkeeper
with
all
extremitie
vnder
colour
of
iustice
ex
lucro
cessante
,
to
recouer
so
much
as
he
sustained
losse
for
want
of
his
money
to
lay
out
;
as
if
at
an
other
time
the
other
could
not
lend
him
the
like
summe
of
money
,
and
make
him
recompence
another
way
.
Whereas
these
euents
come
to
passe
vpon
abuses
which
this
monster
hath
brought
in
,
hauing
with
the
operation
of
his
taile
(
being
a
very
Canker
)
transported
the
moneys
of
our
Iland
,
and
within
our
land
altered
the
nature
and
valuation
of
the
money
,
making
one
hundred
pounds
,
to
be
one
hundred
and
ten
pounds
,
and
hauing
ouerthrowne
charitie
and
free
lending
.
Hence
did
the
cause
proceede
,
that
the
statute
lawes
were
repealed
,
which
did
banish
this
monster
,
for
therein
it
was
like
vnto
the
water
which
the
more
it
is
pent
,
the
more
it
swelleth
,
and
like
a
theefe
,
who
when
he
is
locked
in
at
the
prison
doore
,
breaketh
out
at
the
windowes
,
falling
to
his
shifts
,
subtilties
and
deuises
.
For
if
money
had
remained
plentifull
with
vs
,
this
monster
could
neuer
haue
preuailed
,
nor
charitie
should
haue
waxed
so
cold
,
neither
casuall
and
aduenturous
bargaines
would
haue
bene
so
hunted
after
.
And
to
conclude
,
no
law
can
do
good
which
admitteth
an
inconuenience
as
a
necessarie
euill
.
I
am
not
ignorant
,
that
with
a
wet
finger
,
some
do
point
at
those
that
are
growne
rich
by
the
meanes
of
the
feeding
of
this
monster
,
which
maketh
me
to
remember
a
pretie
historie
to
my
purpose
.
A
man
comming
into
a
certaine
church
,
and
seeing
it
fraught
full
of
images
made
of
waxe
,
demanded
what
might
be
the
cause
of
such
an
vnwoonted
sight
;
answer
was
made
,
that
those
whom
these
images
did
represent
,
were
certaine
persons
,
which
on
a
time
were
saued
from
drowning
by
calling
vpon
our
Lady
.
Nay
then
(
quoth
he
againe
)
where
be
the
images
of
those
(
I
pray
ye
)
that
called
vpon
our
Lady
and
were
drowned
notwithstanding
?
So
say
I
in
this
case
,
if
any
man
will
set
before
me
the
instances
,
and
as
it
were
the
images
of
those
who
haue
fed
this
dragon
,
and
yet
are
not
become
poore
:
I
would
demaund
on
the
other
side
,
that
he
shew
foorth
the
hundreds
and
thousands
of
those
,
whose
estates
and
persons
he
hath
deuoured
,
they
will
be
found
a
million
for
one
,
yea
to
be
without
all
comparison
:
for
this
monster
is
an
actiue
element
that
consumeth
all
things
.
He
demaundeth
consideration
for
that
which
is
none
of
his
owne
,
and
moreouer
two
recompences
for
one
entire
thing
:
by
reason
whereof
he
bringeth
foorth
inequalitie
for
his
aduantage
,
making
men
to
forget
that
euer
they
liued
without
him
,
by
that
which
they
were
borne
or
bred
vnto
.
But
let
this
hideous
monster
be
destroyed
,
and
euery
man
will
returne
vnto
his
quietnesse
,
and
liue
within
his
bounds
and
calling
,
vsing
such
trade
as
he
ought
to
do
.
Plentie
will
soone
increase
,
and
money
will
abound
,
if
you
take
away
but
the
strength
of
his
taile
,
and
we
shall
feele
our
libertie
and
deliuerance
.
Will
not
the
daunger
that
the
leaguors
of
this
Dragon
do
runne
into
,
giue
them
warning
,
when
as
at
one
time
fiue
hundreth
Iewes
were
transported
with
Carons
boate
the
ferrie
man
of
hell
,
which
were
slaine
by
the
Cittizens
of
Troynouant
for
feeding
him
?
Let
the
punishments
assigned
for
them
,
put
them
in
feare
if
they
haue
any
feeling
.
The
curse
of
God
denounced
against
them
in
the
holy
Scripture
,
in
Exodus
22.
Leuiticus
25.
Psalm.
15.
Ezechiel
18.
and
Luke
the
sixth
chapter
,
expounded
by
the
auncient
and
learned
holy
Fathers
,
vpon
which
ground
the
temporall
punishments
haue
bene
ordained
against
those
that
should
feed
this
monster
:
whereby
their
condemnation
appeareth
.
They
are
diffamed
persons
by
the
lawe
,
and
if
any
man
make
by
his
last
will
any
goods
vnto
them
,
the
testament
may
be
broken
,
neither
should
they
be
admitted
to
communicate
with
Christians
,
or
enter
into
their
congregation
,
or
offer
any
oblation
.
When
they
are
dead
,
they
should
not
be
buried
in
Christian
buriall
,
and
if
they
be
,
the
doers
thereof
are
excommunicated
:
for
they
are
not
worthie
of
such
reuerence
,
which
dumbe
beastes
,
and
euen
a
silly
Asse
(
who
like
vnto
Balaams
Asse
was
inspired
)
did
manifest
,
for
one
of
these
leaguors
being
departed
out
of
this
world
,
a
certaine
zealous
&
godly
parson
wold
not
bury
him
,
notwithstanding
his
great
riches
,
whereof
part
was
offered
vnto
the
parson
to
the
same
effect
.
Wherupon
his
friends
vnderstanding
that
the
parson
had
an
asse
which
brought
his
books
from
his
parsonage
daily
to
the
church
,
being
a
pretie
distance
in
sunder
,
they
politikly
desired
to
obtaine
this
fauour
of
him
,
that
as
his
asse
did
daily
cary
his
seruice
books
to
the
church
,
so
it
would
please
him
,
that
for
this
one
time
the
quicke
Asse
might
take
pain
to
carie
this
dead
asse
in
a
Coffin
;
with
this
condition
,
that
wheresoeuer
the
asse
stayed
,
there
the
body
should
be
buried
,
perswading
themselues
,
that
as
the
asse
by
an
ordinary
course
,
vsed
euery
day
to
go
from
the
parsonage
to
the
church
with
a
burden
of
bookes
vpon
his
backe
:
so
of
course
he
would
take
the
same
way
with
this
dead
mans
corps
being
chested
,
euen
straight
to
the
church
;
which
being
granted
by
the
parson
,
had
not
that
euent
.
For
the
asse
feeling
a
weightier
burden
vpon
his
back
then
vsually
,
did
seeke
all
the
meanes
to
be
disburdened
,
running
and
flinging
along
the
streets
,
vntill
he
came
to
a
paire
of
gallowes
at
the
townes
end
,
and
there
did
neuer
leaue
tumbling
and
tossing
himselfe
vpon
the
bare
ground
,
till
he
was
clean
disburdned
of
so
miserable
a
carion
,
leauing
a
sacrifice
to
that
altar
as
miraculously
assigned
for
it
:
for
it
was
not
without
cause
that
priests
were
forbidden
to
giue
vnto
such
any
ghostly
comfort
,
but
vpon
euident
proofe
of
repentance
;
also
that
they
must
make
their
willes
without
witnesse
,
which
wills
are
not
of
any
force
except
satisfaction
be
made
,
or
else
their
goods
to
be
forfited
to
the
higher
powers
,
with
many
other
hard
censures
which
ought
to
moue
any
reasonable
man
in
the
obseruation
of
so
easy
a
comandement
as
to
forbeare
to
feed
a
monster
vnto
whom
Cerberus
in
hell
,
and
all
those
monsters
that
Hercules
subdued
are
inferior
in
euill
.
Alas
poore
creatures
,
how
are
you
tossed
with
the
waues
of
care
to
satisfie
this
dragon
before
you
are
destroyed
?
you
know
by
experience
,
that
the
feare
of
death
is
more
then
death
it selfe
:
what
shifts
,
deuises
,
or
extremities
are
not
you
driuen
vnto
?
Aristophanes
hath
painted
foorth
your
agonies
and
perplexed
minds
,
vnder
the
person
of
an
aged
man
altogether
shipwracked
by
fraighting
with
this
monster
,
who
thinking
to
haue
found
out
the
way
to
be
eased
of
his
slauerie
,
did
propound
vnto
Socrates
this
demaund
:
That
if
he
should
by
a
witch
of
Thessalia
,
and
by
her
enchantments
fetch
the
Moone
out
of
heauen
,
and
bring
it
away
,
and
afterwards
inclose
it
in
a
case
of
glasse
,
and
so
keepe
it
,
as
if
he
would
keepe
a
flye
in
a
boxe
:
Socrates
demaunding
,
what
good
that
would
do
him
:
he
answered
,
If
the
Moone
do
neuer
rise
againe
,
and
I
being
constrained
to
feede
this
monster
by
the
new
Moone
,
shall
be
freed
of
that
trouble
.
A
straunge
shift
,
that
this
poore
man
was
driuen
vnto
,
to
plucke
by
violence
the
Moone
out
of
heauen
for
his
helpe
.
For
in
truth
the
witch
did
her
best
,
and
beganne
to
charme
the
Moone
,
which
when
the
leaguor
of
the
dragon
vnderstood
,
did
put
him
in
such
a
pelting
chafe
,
as
was
wonderfull
to
heare
:
for
accusing
this
poore
man
of
enchantment
,
at
last
he
went
himselfe
to
another
witch
,
not
onely
to
keepe
the
Moone
from
comming
out
of
heauen
,
but
also
to
hasten
the
course
of
it
faster
,
that
the
monster
might
be
the
sooner
fed
.
Good
God
what
a
trouble
was
the
Moone
put
vnto
betweene
these
two
witches
?
What
stormes
and
tempestes
did
arise
?
What
horrible
wind
did
blow
?
What
great
raine
did
fall
?
What
floudes
ensued
euery
where
?
What
countreys
were
almost
drowned
and
vnder
the
water
in
many
places
?
But
herein
(
say
some
)
was
the
dragon
to
be
blamed
,
for
troubling
or
oppressing
a
poore
man
,
or
feeding
vpon
him
,
which
he
ought
to
haue
done
vpon
the
rich
:
for
they
conclude
that
to
be
lawfull
,
in
regard
of
the
prohibition
of
the
other
;
as
who
would
say
,
it
is
not
lawfull
to
vexe
a
poore
man
by
lawe
,
therefore
it
is
lawfull
to
vexe
or
trouble
a
rich
man
by
lawe
:
whereas
neither
rich
or
poore
,
young
or
old
,
lowe
or
high
,
should
be
troubled
or
vexed
at
all
to
feede
this
monster
:
for
it
taketh
away
the
chiefest
comfort
of
the
poore
,
which
is
the
quietnesse
of
their
minds
,
and
deuoureth
their
gaine
before
it
can
be
gotten
;
and
to
the
rich
it
giueth
abilitie
to
doe
all
the
mischiefe
that
can
be
deuised
,
as
I
haue
told
you
.
Others
say
Volenti
non
fit
iniuria
,
when
as
money
being
made
a
merchandize
,
hindreth
the
course
of
commodities
,
and
that
euen
the
politicke
course
of
our
gouernement
driueth
men
to
feede
this
monster
,
and
for
the
most
part
vpon
an
imaginatiue
wealth
,
when
by
meanes
of
his
taile
he
hath
transported
our
treasure
into
forraine
parts
.
Arise
thou
ô
Prophet
Daniel
,
and
make
knowne
vnto
our
most
gracious
king
the
deceipts
and
cruelties
of
the
false
god
Bell
and
of
this
dragon
.
Let
the
footsteppes
be
seene
of
those
that
are
in
league
with
their
false
God
Mammon
and
this
Dragon
,
in
the
ashes
of
the
efficacie
of
holy
Scripture
,
and
our
most
wholesome
lawes
,
and
let
them
be
vsed
as
pitch
,
fat
and
haire
,
to
burst
this
Dragon
in
sunder
.
He
is
not
contented
with
the
spending
daily
of
twelue
great
measures
of
fine
flower
,
forty
sheepe
,
and
sixe
great
pots
of
wine
:
but
he
consumeth
thousands
of
measures
of
corne
,
innumerable
flockes
of
sheep
,
and
whole
ships
lading
of
wines
,
euen
with
al
the
creatures
that
haue
the
managing
thereof
:
for
he
doth
not
feede
threescore
&
ten
priests
with
their
wines
and
children
only
,
but
an
infinit
number
that
are
in
league
with
him
and
their
followers
,
to
the
commonwealths
destruction
.
The
aspect
,
countenance
,
and
behauiour
of
creatures
doth
many
times
prouoke
loue
towards
them
.
But
behold
his
vgly
and
fearfull
countenance
,
his
ill
fauored
shape
and
cruel
behauiour
,
and
you
will
wonder
how
it
is
possible
that
any
man
can
loue
him
.
With
that
,
me
thought
he
tooke
me
by
the
hand
,
and
shewed
me
a
certaine
place
,
where
this
monster
stood
wallowing
like
a
bear
,
which
expecteth
the
comming
of
the
dogs
;
presently
al
my
sences
did
assaile
him
,
Prima
facie
I
saw
him
,
then
I
imagined
him
and
my
fancy
did
delude
me
,
as
if
I
had
seene
some
satire
,
halfe
a
man
&
halfe
a
beast
,
which
made
so
deep
an
impression
into
my
memory
,
that
by
the
apprehension
therof
,
I
was
possessed
with
a
great
feare
&
ashonishment
,
which
made
me
to
cry
and
awake
from
slumber
,
remaining
still
pensiue
aboue
measure
:
for
on
the
one
side
I
knowe
the
passions
of
men
and
the
debility
of
nature
,
and
on
the
other
side
I
do
consider
the
difference
betwixt
dreames
and
visions
.
Such
are
the
naturall
passions
of
men
,
that
some
not
fearing
to
fight
with
the
strongest
and
stoutest
man
,
will
notwithstanding
cry
out
,
and
sweat
at
the
sight
of
a
cat
,
or
any
other
abiect
creature
:
others
are
alwayes
in
feare
,
if
they
be
alone
,
and
cannot
abide
to
haue
their
doores
locked
in
priuate
:
nay
,
some
cannot
endure
the
pointing
of
a
finger
or
any
iesture
towards
them
,
or
but
the
rehearsing
or
telling
of
a
dreame
,
for
they
do
for
the
time
participate
so
much
of
the
melancholike
humor
,
that
reason
and
discretion
is
not
able
to
conquere
it
:
dreames
being
prouoked
according
to
the
disposition
of
the
mind
and
of
the
body
,
and
dilating
into
fansies
and
illusions
,
I
can
hardly
conclude
them
to
be
visions
;
for
visions
are
really
seene
,
and
fansies
are
but
represented
or
imagined
.
But
howsoeuer
this
came
to
passe
,
and
may
be
importeth
little
,
so
long
as
the
morall
of
it
declareth
with
all
the
history
of
Saint
George
,
wishing
with
all
my
heart
,
that
I
might
haue
seene
also
that
valiant
champion
prefigured
vnto
me
as
the
dragon
was
,
for
then
no
doubt
the
deliuerance
expected
and
long
required
would
ensue
;
and
this
my
dreame
(
howsouer
displeasing
to
some
)
might
be
admitted
for
a
vision
to
the
welfare
of
the
common-wealth
.
