saith
Hierome
(
vpon
Marke
)
being
one
of
the
Hebrew
Alphaber
,
Hierome
in
Eze.

is
a
most
healthfull
and
sacred
letter
,
and
also
a
true
note
or
type
of
the
crosse
it selfe
,
&
because
that
this
letter
in
the
holie
tongue
signifieth
a
marke
.
Some
partly
,
who
mourned
ouer
the
abhomination
of
Ierusalem
to
bee
marked
,
whereby
they
were
saued
in
the
midst
of
the
wicked
,
who
by
the
commandement
of
God
were
all
sodenly
destroyed
.
Moreouer
Tau
signifieth
a
fal
perfection
,
and
therefore
it
is
the
last
letter
of
the
Hebrew
Alphabet
,
as
both
ending
and
perfecting
the
same
.
Whereof
also
they
make
a
great
mistery
,
especially
whereas
our
redeemer
Christ
being
nayled
to
the
crosse
,
before
hee
gaue
vp
the
Ghost
,
burst
forth
into
these
words
:
Consummatumest
,
it
is
ended
,
or
finished
:
thereby
declaring
the
type
of
all
Prophesies
,
and
holie
scriptures
,
that
is
,
euen
the
verie
same
houre
that
he
was
fastned
to
the
tree
,
shewing
that
the
accomplishment
of
this
letter
was
performed
.
Which
letter
,
although
it
surely
tend
vnto
a
figure
;
yet
described
by
the
manifest
character
,
it
farre
plainer
sheweth
the
figure
of
the
crosse
,
than
otherwise
.
And
therefore
both
the
Greekes
and
Latines
to
this
day
do
write
it
in
forme
of
a
crosse
.
This
letter
therefore
is
a
most
proper
and
true
badge
or
cognizance
of
all
those
that
being
mustered
do
warre
in
the
Church
of
Christ
to
the
worldes

that

them

The

instituted

in

about

place
where
it
might

be

And
truly
it
is
to
be
thought
that
this
honorable
cognizance
had
his
beginning
of
the
commemoration
of
that
wonderfull
starre
,

conducted
the

The
increase
of
the
moone
in
the
daies
of
the
most
famous
king
Henry
the
second
king
of
France
,
was
most
strange
and
prodigious
.
In
the
holy
scriptures
,
the
moone
many
times
doth
signifie
the
Church
:
wherto
may
be
added
the
consent
of
Paulus
Aemilius
in
the
histonie
of
Pope
Calixtus
the
second
(
whose
name
before
was
Guido
,
the
sonne
of
William
Earle
of
the
Heduans
,
or
Burgundians
.
)
who
the
day
before
his
pontificall
creation
saw
in
a
vision
a
Starre
carried
by
a
childe
from
the
side
of
the
Moone
.
Furthermore
the
Moone
is
alwaies
sub●ect
to
alteration
,
〈◊〉
both
increaseth
and
decreaseth
at
certcine
houres
and
times
.
In
like
maner
may
wee
see
the
Church
of
God
militant
,
and
neuer
continuing
in
one
and
the
same
state
,
but
one
while
mainteined
and
defended
of
Christian
Princes
,
another-while
tyrannized
,
put
to
flight
,
and
sent
in
sunder
with
factions
of
heretiques
:
whereby
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
it
is
neuer
free
from
vexation
and
trouble
in
this
life
.
Wherto
notwithstanding
the
Maiestie
of
God
the
King
himselfe
,
and
his
sonne
Iesus
Christ
haue
promised
certeine
helpe

Lodouicus
the
eleuenth
King
of
France
,
when
he
was
about
to
institute
the
order
of
Saint
Michaell
(
as
they
call
it
)
in
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
1469.
for
a
Cognizance
or
Simbole
he
ensigned
them
with
a
golden
chaine
lineked
togither
with
cockle-stones
,
and
double
knots
,
with
circles
of
gold
:
in
the
midst
whereof
was
a
knob
or
mushrome
,
as
it
were
a
promontorie
with
the
golden
image
of
Saint
Michael
hanging
downe
vppon
their
brestes
.
Which
last
he
did
,
being
prouoked
thereto
by
the
example
of
king
Charles
the
seuenth
his
father
,
who
vsed
the
same
image
for
his
ensign
in
wars
,
taking
the
beginning
of
his
manguration
at
Rothomage
.
Which
custome
was
begun
,
&
afterwardes
confirmed
amongst
many
kings
,
through
a
notable
miracle
or
vision
(
as
they
superstitiously
dreame
)
of
S.
Michael
appearing
in
the
battell
by
the
bridge
of
the
citie
of
Orleance
,
who
expulsed
&
droue
away
the
English
men
,
and
set
the
Citie
free
from
their
siege
.
The
chaine
therefore
is
a
type
or
figure
of
this
order
,
a
signe
of
vertue
,
concord
,
and
of
a
perpetuall
league
or
couenant
of
amitie
and
friendship
to
be
continued
amongst
them
,
also
a
cognizance
or
badge
of
those
that
deserued
well
,
and
of
the
victorie
obteined
.
By
the
gold
he
would
haue
to
be
vnderstood
,
magnanimitie
,
prowesse
and
honours
.
By
the
cockles
,
their
mutuall
equalitie
or
common
condition
of
fortune
:
imitating
herein
the
order
of
the
Romane
Senators
,
who
vsed
to
weare
cockles
vpon
their
sleeues
:
by
the
tying
of
them
togither
with
a
double
knot
,
he
would
represent
the
indissoluble
couenant
made
betwixt
him
and
the
rest
,
and
that
with
no
friuolous
signification
.
Last
of
all
,
by
the
image
,
he
would
shuld
be
declared
the
victorie
and
triumph
which
Michaell
had
ouer
the
diuell
,
whom
he
ouercame
.
The
reason
of
which
signe
doth
greatly
appertaine
as
well
to
the
regiment
and
maiestie
of
a
kingdome
,
as
also
to
strike
feare
and
terrour
into
the
enemy
.
And
how
many
he
thought
good
to
be
admitted
into
the
societie
of
this
order
,
he
himselfe
declared
,
to
wit
,
36.
as
it
were
patrones
of
the
kingdome
,
amongst
whome
he
would
be
counted
the
first
or
chiefest
.
And
therefore
the
same
time
,
that
he
ordeined
this
order
to
be
celebrate
,
he
named
fifteene
lordes
,
whom
for
honours
sake
,
and
prerogatiue
of
their
names
,
it
is
not
conuenient

The

a
thing

that
if
they

bee

the

would
soone
fall

you

how
with

of

she
endeuours

The
Ensigne
that
Galeaz
vicechanceler
,
the
second
Duke
of
Millan
was
wont
to
vse
,
may
be
verified
of
those
which
according
to
the
prouerbe
,
are
said
to
carrie
fire
in
the
one
hand
,
and
water
in
the
other
.
It
was
a
burning
firebrand
or
a
staffe
hardned
in
the
fire
,
with
two
vessels
ful
of
water
,
aboue
and
beneath
.
It
may
haue
also
an
other
signification
,
if
we
more
deepely
waigh
it
:
namely
,
that
the
passions
of
a
mans
minde
are
by
Gods
goodnesse
extinguished
by
the
direction
of
reason
.
Moreouer
,
by
it
the

dukes
magnanimitie
is
signified
,
for
he
in
a
foughten
combat
,
most
renowmedly
vanquished
a
Dutch
Lord
that
at
that

bore
no

was
the

that
vsed
the

or

,
and
chalenged
this
his
Ensigne
to
himselfe
for
a
monument
of
victorie
,
and
for
a
token
of
triumph
that
he
got

his

who
then
was

touching
the

of

an

,
who
also
by
consideration
of
the
saints
in
heauen
oftentimes
comforted
her selfe
.
Therefore
it
is
most
like
that
by
this
picture
she
endeuoured
to
expresse
her
godly
affections
:
for
there
is
(
as
you

a

lay
at
the
point

Ascalon

he
appointed
that

he
was

his

should
be
carried
by
his

thorough
out
all
the

hauing
a
speare
thrust
thorow
the

of
it

that

proclaime

Let
euerie

take
this
for
a

infallible
token
,
that
when
death
comes
,
he
spareth
neither
king

that
he
shall
depart
out

The

It

watched

carefully

,
neuerthelesse
came
and
stole
away
the
golden

,
that
were
in

which

The

effigie
the
Cardinall

vseth

Non

It
forceth
not
how
long
a
thing
be
in
doing
but
how
well
it
be
done
.
The
most
part
of
men
hold
opinion
that
Thomas
of
Aquine
inuented
the
Philosophicall
knife
,
but
by
continuall
obseruation
of
the
planets
was
made
so
perfite
thorow
the
vertue
and
force
thereof
,
that
it
cut
a
thicke
and
hard
Anuell
,
euen
in
the
middest
.
By
this
we
must
vnderstand
,
that
in
performing
of
any
matter
whatsoeuer
as
it
should
be
,
we
must
not
respect
the
long
tract
of
time
that
we
spend
in
it
,
so
that
by
line
and
leuill
,
as
they
say
,
we
finish
all
our
actions
.
Whereupon
Suetonius
recordeth

Such
was
the

that
he
committed
vnto
him
the

Charles
the
sixt
of

king
of
France
,
Frossard

whilest
he
sought
the
satisfying
of
his
owne
wilfulnes
,
in
going
about
to
reuenge
his
friend
Oliuerius
Cliffonius
his
constable●
cause
against
one
Peter
Craonius
,
had
a
very
infortunate
end
,
as
it
was

:
the
which
thing
doth
most
certainely
fall
out
〈◊〉
as
many
as
runne
headlong
to
reuenge
,
especially
other
mens
causes
.
It
chanced
tha●
he
leuied
an
armie
to
go
into
the
prouinc●
of
the
Britones
,
to
the
intent
he
might
〈◊〉
reuenged
of
the
Lieutenant
there
because
he
seemed
to
defend
Petrus
Craonius
cause
And
so
as
he
was
going
thorow
the
forrest
,
〈◊〉
thicket
of
the
Mansensians
or
Caenonians
,
there
met
him
in
the
middle
betwixt
tw●
trees
a
certaine
strange
man
,
pretending
great
pouertie
&
need
,
and
taking
the
king●
horse
by
the
bridle
,
caused
him
to
stay
,
&
th●●
with
loud
voice
said
vnto
him
:
Oh
king
,
〈◊〉
thou
wilt
follow
my
counsaile
go
no
furthe●
forward
,
but
rather
turne
backe
againe
,
fo●
there
are
of
thy
owne
armie
that
haue
sol●
thee
into
thy
enimies
hands
.
When
the
king
heard
these
words
,
he
was
maruellously
terrified
,
&
so
moued
withall
,
that
he
was
as
pa●●
as
ashes
(
as
they
say
)
with
fear
,
&
with
horro●
thereof
did
euen
grate
with
his
teeth
as
it
were
,
and
as
ill
happe
was
,
he
was
a
very
yong
man
,
and
therefore
vnskilfull
of
matial
fears
besides
he
had
a
bodie
of
such
a
constitution
that
it
was
alwayes
subiect
to
sicknesse
and
agues
.
But
when
the
captaines
of
his
armie
saw
him
in
that
case
,
they
labored
to
establish
and
confirme
his
minde
,
that
yet
was
doubtful
what
was
best
to
be
done
,
and
so
they
went
boldly
forward
.
They
were
no
sooner
gon
out
of
the
wood
,
but
two
of
the
kings
pages
were
hard
at
their
horse
heeles
,
puffing
and
blowing
,
as
comming
about
some
waightie
matter
,
whereof
the
one
ware
the
kings
helmet
,
and
the
other
a
common
souldiers
speare
.
It
chanced
that
whilest
the
one
of
them
slept
,
the
king
speare
fell
out
of
his
hand
vpon
his
head
which
ware
the
helmet
.
The
king
heating
a
sodaine
noise
,
and
looking
aside
,
saw
a
man
at
his
heeles
,
whom
as
yet
he
know
not
,
so
he
was
maruellousty
troubled
,
and
in
a
great
rage
leaped
downe
from
his
horse
,
and
as
one
that
had
bene
besides
himselfe
,
drew
his
sword
,
and
neither
regarding
the
order
of
his
owne
men
,
neither
vsing
the
aduise
of
reason
,
laid
about
him
as
if
he
had
bene
in
the
thickest
of
his
enimies
,
vsing
these
words
:
Bestirre
you
,
play
the
men
,
&
dispatch
me
these
traitors
.
When
the
kings
pages
heard
him
say
so
,
they
made
all
the
hast
they
could
to
saue
their
liues
,
by
running
away
.
But
the
kings
own
brother
who
was
captain
of
the
Aurelians
,
riding
by
the
kings
side
,
〈◊〉
the
brunt
of

furie
:
for
the
king
so
forcib●ranne
vpon
him
with
his
naked
sword
in

hand
,
that
had
not
the
Duke
speedily
fled●●
away
,
he
had
bene
in
danger
of
his
life
.
〈◊〉
the
last
the
king
was
euen
tyred
with
labo●●
and
the
horse
wearied
with
many
and
gre●●
courses
that
he
made
,
it
chanced
that
onc●
the
kings
horsemen
met
him
,
and
by
fa●●
meanes
brought
both
the
king
and
his
ho●●
backe
to
the
Caemonians
.
But
the
king
was
〈◊〉
mad
and
so
angrie
in
his
minde
,
that
who●●
saw
him
thought
he
would
neuer
recoue●
And
so
it
fel
out
that
there
was
an
end
of
th●●
intended
voyage
,
and
the
armie
broke
vp
,
a●●
returned
.
But
after
that
the
king
came
ho●●
to
his
palace
,
he
became
far
weaker
than
before
he
had
bene
,
and
was
so
subiect

of
phrensie

that
sometimes
would

There
is
vsed
to
this
day
certaine
brasen
money
with
the
image
of
Augustus
Caesar
on
it
,
vpon
the
one
side
wherof
is
the
portraiture
of
a
Crocodile
chained
fast
to
a
palme
tree
,
with
this
inscription
:
Col.
Nem.
which
is
,
No
man
hath
euer
bound
me
before
.
By
which
signe
Caesar
would
signifie
that
none
before
him
did
euer
subdue
Egypt
,
and
triumphed
ouer
it
.
For
the
Crocodile
representeth
Egipt
,
which
is
to
be
found
onely
in
the
riuer
Nilus
,
by
the
commodie
whereof
all
Egypt
is
made
fruitfull
.
Besides
the
Crocodile
is
fastened
to
the
Palme
tree
,
that
thereby
the
beholders
might
be
admonished
that
the
godly
Prince
Augustus
triumphed
ouer
all
Egypt
,
by
getting
of
which
victorie
and
peace
,
he
was
recreated
and
refreshed
,
as
a
drie
and
thirstie
ground
is
with
a
showre
of
raine
.
Finally
,
this
simbole
signifieth
that
Augustus
got
the
victorie
,
and
preuailed
against
Autonius
,
and
Cleopatra
of
famous
memorie
.

In

we
must

for
the

As
the
Cardinall
of
Lorraine
should
lately
enter
into
his
Abbey
of
Clunie
,
his
armies
were
set
vp
before
the
gates
of
the
house
,
to
wit
,
a
great
foure
squared
piller
,
brode
beneath

&
sharpe
on

,
hauing
on
the
higher
end
the
new
moone
blased
,
and
from
the
bottome
vpward
compassed
about
with
greene
berries
,
and
garnished
with
these
verses
,
which
were
engrauen
round
about
.
O

Ouid.
By

Which

The

The
moone
which
doth

Increase
in

so
bright
,
Till
that
night
come
wherin
her

,
From

.
And
what
doth
meane
the
sacred
Iuy
,
Which
creepes
and
binds
about
,
This
tomb
,
to
whose
high
top
he
climbs
Although
it
be
full
stout
.
And
what
new
fashion
is
this
also
,
That
leaning
to
it
stickes
,
Making
his

about
the

,
That
greenely

This

it
is

Whose

For
he
in

To

And

Euen
thee
most
famous
prince

Who
in

doest
yeeld

Not

For
though
thy

lie
in

,
Yet
such
thy
vertue
was
,
That
it
beares

our
laud
and

,
That

That
great
and
mightie
cup
of
gold
of
i●
princely
Dolphin
,
seemeth
to
me
to
represent
that
ancient
standing
peece
of
Apolloes
Rauen
,
whom
the
Poets
do
faine
to
be
placed
amongst
the
starres
:
but
the
inscription
,
or
apothegme
which
is
written
aboue
it
,
may
rather
be
drawne
to
his
happie
birth
day
.
And
such
is
the
interpretation
that
Paradinus
giueth
of
it
.
But
in
my
iudgement
he
would
thereby
allude
to
his
fathers
interpretation
,
which
is
,
Donec
totum
impleat
orbem
,
vntill
he
fulfill
the
whole
compasse
of

.
Fiducia

We
trust

There
was
alwayes
carried
before
the
armies
of
the
Romaines
,
standards
which
had
the
palme
of
a
hand
blased
after
this
fashion
:
you
may
see
the
same
also
in
diuerse
other
places
in
auncient
coynes
,
and
money
,
and
●n
other
famous
monuments
of
like
antiquitie
.
Therefore
this
ancient
signe
doth
betoken
the
benefite
,
or
hand
of
concord
,
the
picture
wherof
is
to
be
seene
in
the
very
beginning
of
the
commentaries
of
the
Romaine
common
welth
,
which
Wolfangus

A
high
matter
in
a
loe
house
.
Not
farre
from
the
gates
of
Leontychidas
house
,
senator
of
the
Lacedemonians
,
there
was
aliue
serpent
or
snake
,
that
had
wrapped
himselfe
about
the
Key
of
a
locke
.
When
this
came
to
the
southsayers
cares
,
they
constantly
affirmed
before
him
that
it
signified
some
strange
wonder
that
should
happen
.
To
whom
he
thus
replied
.
Surely
to
me
it
seemes
a
thing
of
no
great
wonder
,
if
the
snake
haue
wrapped
himselfe
about
the
Key
:
but
rather
●n
the
contrarie
part
,
if
the
Key
had
folded
it selfe
about
the
serpent
,
then
without
all
doubt
,
it
had
bene
a
thing
to
be
wondred
at
.
And
so
the
wise
Senator
making
but
a
iest
of
it
,
laughed
at
their
foolish
superstition
.
And
surely
at
this
day
,
the
common
peoples
credulitie
is
verie
much
infected
,
about
manie
things
which
happen
sometimes
after
an
extraordinarie
manner
,
yet
by
as
naturall
meanes
as
may
be
,
yea
,
when
they
are
I
say
:
if
you
thorowly
examine
them
plainly
agreeable
to
nature
.
In
fine
,
there
is
likewise
a
preposterous
iudgement
or
inconstancie
touching
matters
of
faith
in
these
and
the
like
superstitions
,
which
with
wicked
traditions
bring
no
small
corruption
to
mans
iudgement
.
Horrent

is

hit

at

this
sentence
:

Inuitum

Fortune
when

heapeth

much
vpon
a

Policrates
king
of
the
Samions
had
such
successe
with
such
perseuerance
in
the
prosperous-waies
of
smiling
fortune
,
Strabo
.
that
once
he
went
about
either
to
diminish
it
,
or
else
to
change
it
:
namely
,
by
casting
a
verie
rich
ring
into
the
middest
of
the
sea
,
the
which
for
all
that
,
was
found
afterward-in
the
belly
of
a
fish
,
which
the
fishermen
amongst
the
rest
had
caught
.
But
marke
what
came
of
it
.
Not
long
after
the
king
of
the
Persians
chanced
to
take
this
king
,
and
being
apprehended
,
commanded
him
to
be
hanged
,
and
miserably
to
be
strangled
.
So
thus
you
may
see
that
the
flattering
faunings
of
fortune
(
which
the
world
compteth
great
felicitie
in
this
life
)
are
neither
certaine
not
constant
,
nor
of
any
continuance
:
and
the
more
glorious
and
glittering
they
appeare
,
the
more
easily
and
speedilie
they
vanish
away
,
like
a
glasse
,
which
of
it
owne
nature
is
brickle
and
fraile
.

were

burst
forth

such
a
one
as
did
not
exceed
to
the

like

answered

Valentina
of

,
sometime
Dutch●sse
of

vnfortunate

whereof

his

which
vsed
to

on

at
certain
times

when
it
tooke

he
knew
not

and
also
in

that
Marcus
Antonius
should
make
triall
so
oft
of
her
loue
,
vpon
a
time
at
a
banquet
and
merrie
meeting
,
whether
it
were
to
giue
him
occasion
neuer
to
be
distrustfull
any
more
after
,
or
for
some
other
cause
,
she
began
to
delight
him
verie
voluptuously
,
after
her
old
fashion
that
she
vsed
:
namely
,
with
diuers
and
sundrie
garlands
of
flowers
,
whose
leaues
were
all
besprinckled
with
poyson
.
Some
of
the
which
she
wearing
vpon
her
head
,
picked
them
out
and
brusing
them
a
little
,
cast
them
into
his
cuppe
or
goblet
,
perswading
him
to
drinke
it
off
.
But
whilest
he
was
about
to
do
it
,
she
putting
her
hand
to
it
,
said
thus
,
Oh
my
sweete
heart
Antonius
,
I
surely
am
the
woman
,
which
if
I
could
liue
without
thee
,
haue
now
a
iust
occasion
to
do
that
,
which
by
your
curious
trials
you
seeme
to
feare
.
And
hereby
we
may
see
what
may
be
the
audacitie
,
and
impudent
boldnes
of
a
shamelesse
woman

Musicke
is
of
it
owne
nature
an
enimie
to
melancholy
,
and
therefore
is
able
to
qualifie
any
furie
that
riseth
of
a
vehement
melancholie
.
Wherefore
she
is
able
also
to
driue
away
heauines
,
and
dulnesse
,
which
proceed
of
blacke
choler
,
being
ouerwhelmed
and
suffocate
with
flegme
.
With
the
which
one
hath
recorded
that
once
he
saw
a
man
sore
troubled
,
and
so
sound
and
fast
on
steepe
,
that
you
could
by
no
meanes
get
a
word
of
him
,
but
onely
by
a
harpe
sounding
in
his
eares
,
at
the
pleasant
harmonie
whereof
,
he
lifting
vp
his
head
,
laughed
,
&
answered
to
their
demands
.
Which
thing
is
an
argument
that
there
is
no
small
affinitie
betwixt
Musicke
and
the
soule
.
Elizeus

when
to
call
againe
his
propheticall
spirite
,
and
to
make
supplication
to
God
for
a
remedie
of
his
people
that
then
were
like
to
perish
with
extreme
thirst
,
he
commanded
one
that
had
skill
to
play
on
the
harpe
to
be
called
for
vnto
him
,
and
in
that
sort
obtained
at
the
hands
of
God
that
which
he
desired
in
his
prayers
,

supplications
.
And
what
say
you
to

Musitian
,
who
is
now
dead

Did
not
he
comfort
and
recreate
King
Saul
,
his
soule
being
vexed
with
an
euill
spirite
,
when
as
,
so
long
as
he
played
vpon
his
harpe
,
the
wicked
spirite
left
to
molest
him
.
Therefore
this
consonant
musicke
hath
a
certaine
diuine
grace
in
it
,
for
as
much
as
it
doth
not
onely
restore
helth
to
bodies
that
are
sicke
,
but
also
sti●reth
vp
the
soule
to
contemplation
,
comforteth
the
same
,
and
maketh
it
heauenly
as
it
were
:
wherefore
it
is
an
enimie
euen
to
the
verie
diuels
,
which
doubtlesse
are
nothing
else
than
desperation
,
deiection
of
the
soule
,
feare
,
and
an
obstinate
desolation
.
Finally
,
as
in
Musicke
of
different
voices
there
is
made
tunable
musicke
,
so
of
men
also
that
are
of
one
minde
there
may
be
made
a
consent
of
contrary
natures
and

accepteth

may
be
obserued

nothing
should
be
set

,
but
platters
and
other
great
vessels
full
of

,
and
as
oft
as
these

should
be

before

I
forbid
to
attempt
anie
further
.
Before
the
comming
of
Christ
,
the
Pagans
and
heathen
Gentiles
had
the
truth
of
the
mysterie
of
the
trinitie
reuealed
vnto
them
,
as
it
was
prophesied
of
the
God
of
the
Sabines
,
whom
they
called
Sanctum
Fidium
holy
,
lond
.
Fla.
and
trustie
,
and
Semipater
halfe
a
father
.
They
carried
him
into
the
citie
,
affirming
that
hee
consisted
of
three
names
,
when
in
deede
he
was
but
one
.
And
although
there
was
a
temple
consecrate
to
that
trinitie
on
Quirinal
hill
,
yet
carried
it
the
name
but
of
one
onelie
.
And
of
such
great
estimation
was
that
three
fold
image
,
that
in
al
ages
it
had
the
soueraigntie
,
where
vnder
was
figured
the
trinitie
of
the
Godhead
is
one
vnitie
,
to
wit
,
Deus
fidius
,
Plinie
.
which
was
the
middest
God
.
Thus
the
nation
of
the
Sabins
was
most
religious
,
and
therefore
haue
they
purchased
them
a
name
accordingly
.
Neither
is
it
to
be
doubted
,
but
that
the
olde
Gentiles
to
whom
religion
was
more
acceptable
,
had
greater
light
and
knowledge
of
the
true
faith
.
Seruitus
libera
.
Free
seruice
.
The
rigor
of
Moises
law
towards
seruants
was
such
,
Exod.
21.
Deut.
15.
that
he
who
had
fulfilled
the
exact
time
of
his
bondage
,
a
choise
should
be
giuen
him
,
either
to
be
set
at
libertie
,
or
else
to
be
bondman
to
his
maister
as
long
as
he
liued
.
If
the
seruant
choose
to
be
bonde
,
his
maister
should
bore
his
eare
with
an
alle
,
&
that
was
called
free
wil
seruice
.
The
same
ought
euery
christian
man
to
do
,
who
,
as
it
were
a
free
seruant
vnder
the
law
of
grace
,
ought
to
offer
his
eare
to
God
,
that
he
may
make
it
capable
,
&
obedient
to
his
commandements
.
This
great
benefit
is
to
be
imbraced
of
all
men
,
which
thing
the
Psalmist
semeth
to
insinuate
in
this
place
,
where
he
saith
,
Psal.

thou
hast
bored
or
made
readie
my
eares
.
There
are
others
that
interprete
the
place
of
Moises
otherwise
,
that
such
voluntarie
bondage
,
did
signifie
those
that
gaue
themselues
wholy
to
earthly
pleasures
,
reseruing
no
time
to
amendement
,
nor
yet
euer
seeking
to
redeeme
themselues
into
the
libertie
of
the
spirit
of
God
(
which
is
our
seruice
by
faith
in
Iesus
Christ
)
wherefore
their

doe

Galeatius
Marie
duke
of
Milan
,
the
sonne
of
Francis
Sforce
,
was
of
such
effeminate
&
libidinous
disposition
of
minde
,
that
he
offered
violence
,
&
defiled
honorable
matrones
,
and
chast
virgins
.
Which
extreame
wickednes
made
him
so
odious
both
to
his
owne
nation
,
&
to
strangers
which
were
subiect
vnto
him
also
,
that
in
the
ende
it
grewe
to
be
his
destruction
.
For
one
Andrew
Lampugnan
of
Milan
a
courtier
with
the
assistance
of
two
of
his
companions
,
grieuously
offended
at
him
(
especially
for
the
intollerable
oppression
,
which
the
said
duke
had
vsed
against
a
certaine
abbot
his
brother
,
and
that
in
the
abbey
or
monasterie
)
conspired
his
death
.
Which
conspiracie
after
that
Lampugnan
had
once
conceiued
in
his
minde
,
fearing
to
set
vpon
the
prince
,
or
to
smite
him
,
whose
beautie
,
comelines
and
maiestie
,
danted
and
appaled
him
,
inuented
a
way
,
whereby
he
might
both
perseuere
,
&
also
bestrengthened
and
confirmed
in
his
purpose
:
to
wit
he
caused
an
image
of
the
duke
to
be
ingrauen
verie
cunning
lie
in
a
table
,
whereunto
,
as
often
as
hee
came
,
hee
thrust
his
sword
thorow
it
,
hauing
vsed
this
policie
a
while
,
he
was
greatly
confirmed
to
performe
the
deede
:
and
entetering
the
church
with
the
rest
of
the
same
conspiracie
,
he
meeteth
the
duke
,
garded
with
a
great
traine
,
as
it
were
to
salute
him
,
and
giuing
him
three
great
woundes
in
the
bellie
,
he
slue
him
.
Thus
died
this
miserable
and
wicked
prince
,
who
considered
not
the
saying
of
Claudian
,
that
neither
watching
by
night
nor
garding
by
day
of
troupes
&
bands
of
men
keepeth
not
the
person
of
the
prince
so
sure
as
loue
doth
.
And

hath
commended

remembreth

the
description
of

,
Dion
.
besides
that
strange
starre
which
then
appeared
,
and
that
vnaccustomed
,
affirmeth
also
that
the
light
of
the
sunne
was
darkened
by
reason
of
three
other
greater
circles
compassing
it
about
,
one
wherof
represented
the
forme

addeth
farther
that
the

gaue
somwhat
a
dimme
light
,
now
&
then
in

But
this
is
certaine
,
that
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
the
true
light
,
and
true
sonne
of
righteousnes
was
borne
in
the
dayes
of
Augustus
Caesar
,
whose
birth
and
comming
into
the
world
,
bringing
a
heape
of
al
goodnes
to

,
might
as
wel
be

The

the

called

is
so
much
the

But
for
that
sometimes

there
is
she
so

they

it

whereupon
hee
was

fight
with

But
when
hee
perceiued
that
hee
coulde
not
vse
the
one
hand
so
aptly
as
the
other
,
he
caused
an

by

side
running
hard
by
,
there
came
out
of
the
kings
mouth
a
little
beast
,
and
assaied
to
passe
ouer
the
riuer

Which
when
the
kinges
seruant
sawe
,
he
drew
out
his
sword
,
whervpon
as
on
a
bridge
,
the
little
beast
passed
ouer
the
riuer
,
&
went
into
a
hole
or
caue
that
was
in
a
hill
ouer
against
it

From
whence
she
came
foorth
againe
by
and
by
,
and
going
ouer
againe
by
the
sword
as
by
a
bridge
,
went
againe
into
the
kings
mouth

When
the
king
awaked
,
he
told
his
man
the
like
dreime
that
he
had
seene
,
to
wit
,
that
he
went
ouer

so
into

When
his
man
heard
that
,
he
tolde
him
in
order
what
had
happened

So
the

caused
the

digged

recorded
of
a
certaine
Indian
,
that
was
of
such
dexteritie
in
throwing
of
a
dart
,
that
he
could
cast
it
a
great
way
off
tho●ugh
a
ring
of
small
compasse
.
Wherefore
●hen
he
was
commanded
by
king
Alexander
to
shew
his
cunning
before
him
,
hee
coulde
not
by
anie
meanes
bee
perswaded
to
doe
it
.
For
the
which
cause
hee
was
condemned
by
the
kings
sentence
to
die
.
And
beeing
asked
therefore
he
would
not
do
so
small
a
matter
for
the
kings
pleasure
,
answered
,
that
hee
fea●ed
least
hee
should
happilie
misse
of
his
vsu●all
custome
of
throwing
.
When
Alexander
sawe
that
he
did
it
,
not
so
much
for
rebellion
●s
for
feare
and
shame
,
hee
commanded
the
condemned
man
to
be
set
at
libertie
,
wondering
at
his
disposition
,
which
was
verie
desirous
of
glorie
,
desiring
rather
to
die
than
to
diminish
or
discredit
the
fame
and

of
his

Num

Is
not
honor
a
blast

There
was
an
ancient
custome
amongst
the
Romaines
,
that
to
euerie
gouernor
of
any
countrey
or
prouince
newly
created
,
for
congratulation
sake
onely
as
a
signe
of
good

in

of
them
seuen
shillings
to
euerie
one
,
a
clot
or
turfe
,
a
key
and
a
ball
or
globe
.
The
clot
they
gaue
in
token
that
the
Magistrates
ought
to
bestow
al
their
diligence
,
that
meats
should
not
become
dearer
,
but
that
they
should
remaine
in
the
same
price
that
they
were
,
at
that
no
dearth
,
want
,
nor
hunger
might
arise
.
Moreouer
,
that
the
publike
affaires
might
be
moderate
,
and
executed
with
such
wisedome
and
clemencie
,
as
in
giuing
of
a
clot
o●
peece
of
earth
,
they
thanked
the
deputie
or
gouernor
for
their
fieldes

The
key
they
gaue
in

that

The
Romaines
supposed
it
the
chiefest
reward
of
famous
deedes
,
if
they
adorned

Emperors

,
&
other
commen
soldiers
,
euery
one
notwithstanding
according
to
their
dignity
,
degree

place
,
with
crownes
or
garlands
,
which
they
called
militares
coronas
,
martiall
crownes
,
or
crownes
of
chiualrie
.
And
because
they
were
signes
and
tokens
of
their
vertue
,
noble
exploits
,
and
inuincible
mindes
:
the
chiefest
and
famoust
had
their
purtraitures
,
with
their
Apothegmes
&
posies
,
and
that
as
well
for
the
perpetuall
remembrance
of
their
worship
,
and
ancienty
as
also
for
the
oblectation
,
pleasure
,
&
esperance
to
those
that
should
come
after
,
attending
&
seeking
after
the
honor
of
vertue
,
with
the
reward
&
praise
therof
.
Which
things
are
especially
due
to
those
who
are
the
reuengers
,
the
patrons
&
redeemers
of
the
common
wealth
(
which
ought
greatly
to
be
regarded
of
al
men
)
The
first
crowne
that
was
giuen
,
was
called
triumphall
,
which
being
platted
with
laurel
bowes
,
and
berries
,
was
offered
to
inuincible
triumphers
.
To
whom
it
was
lawfull
,
&
that
by
the
decree
of
the
senate
,
to
solemne
their
triumph
vp
and
downe
the
cittie
in
great
charets
,
and
wagons
,
as
vanquishers
,
and
subduers
of
their
enimies
:
the
senate
being
aduertised
first
of
5000.
of
their
enimies
to
be
slaine
togitherin

Which
triumphant
crowne
,
in
processe
of
time
,
the
Empire
decreasing
,
was
afterwards
interlaced
with
vnions
,
and
diuerse
other
precious
stones
.
And
last
of
all
,
it
was
changed
from
the
natural
laurell
,
into
a
grauen
laurell
compassed
about
with
a
circle
of
gold
,
as
is
to
be
seene

to
this

The

gaue
to
the
tribune
,
or
gouernor
of
the
armie
,
who
had
valiantly
subdued
their
enimies
,
a
triumphant
crowne
of
grasse
.
And
albeit
this
garland
,
or
crowne
was
of

,
it
is
to
be
thought
notwithstanding
that
it
waws

could
be
found
in
that
place
,
after

Some

as
well
in

as
in

that
they

Those
that

secretes
of
nature
,
and
of
the
signes
of
phisognomie
(
as
Aristotle
beareth
witnes
)
saie
,
that
the
forhead
doth
shew
euerie
mans
disposition
or
inclination
.
Therefore
a
narowe
slender
forehad
is
a
signe
of
a
foolish
man
,
vncleane
,
and
like
vnto
swine
,
giuen
altogether
to
the
bellie
.
A
forehead
too
large
like
an
oxe
,
is
a
signe
of
a
grosse
and
dull
wit

vnderstanding
.
A
forehead
long
sheweth
a
man
to
be
very
gentle
and
docile
,
hanging
downe
ouer
the
eies
,
effeminate
and
womannishnes
.
Being

it

Plaine

a

Being

in

places
full
of
little
freckles

man

couetous
,

foole
.
Polished
and
as
it

Being

a

:
which
indices
or
tokens
of
the
forehead
moued
me
to
inuent
this
simbole
,
with
this
posie
:
Frons
hominem

A

face
sheweth
what
he
is
.
Bis

He
giueth
twise
that
giueth
in

.
There
are
some
men
so
hastie
,
so
vnaduised
,
and
so
vnseasonable
in
doing
of
good
turnes
vnto
others
,
that
how
little
a
man
needeth
their
help
,
so
much
the
more
readie
are
they
to
gratifie
him
with
gifts
,
and
take
great
pleasure
in
performing
the
lest
point
of
their
duetie
towards
him
:
and
that
(
as
I
suppose
)
either
for
that
they
stand
in
hope
,
afterwards
of
reaping
some
commoditie
by
them
,
or
else
at
the
least
to
be
repaid
againe
with
the
most
.
But
if
they
chance
to
espie
the
same
man
f●llen
into
miserie
,
th●se
curssed
men
will
turne
away
their
faces
from
h●m
:
and
if
the
poore
man
aske
them
their
helpe
,
either
they
w●ll
cast
in
his
teeth
their
former
be●efites
,
or
else
mocke
and
de●ide
the
poore
wretch
,
either
else
they
will
inuent
and
faine
some
reason
or
other
,
so
that
the
poore
man
dares
neuer
after
come
in
their
sight
againe
.
These
men
doubtlesse
are
not
parents
,
not
true
friends
,
nay
not
men
,
but
rather
brute
beastes
vnworthy
to
liue
,
who
it
behoueth
to
looke
vpon
,
and
to
remember
this
simbole
of
a
noble
man
indeede
,
who
seing
a
poore
man
fallen
downe
lifted
him
vp
againe
himselfe
,
with
this
posie
,
Bis
dat
,
qui
tempestiuè
donat
,
that
is
,
he
giueth
twise
that
giueth
in

.
Because
that
ought
to
be
counted
a
double
and
immortall
merite
,
which
in
time
of
necessitie
doth
profite
another
without
any
hope
or
expectation
of
reward
.
Improbus

The
wicked
is
moued
to
mercie

no
entretie

Those
that
are
so
cruell
.
so
hard
harted
,
so
austere
and
wicked
,
that
although
a
man
giue
them
all
obedience
,
yet
will
not
vouchsafe
to
shew
him
any
compassion
,
are
worthie
truely
to
haue
for
their
simbole
the
image
of
death
,
who
slayeth
all
men
,
euen
him
that
prayeth
and
beseecheth
with
his
hands
lifted
vp
,
and
knees
touching
the

with
these
words

Improbus

The

is

by

obedi●nce

The

Falcons
with
this
inscription
,
Sic

so
great
thinges

place
to
the
small
,
doth
signifie
that
true
nobilitie
doth
not
consist
in
riches
,
or
authoritie
,
but
in
the
excellencie
of
the
mind
,
for
such
is
the
nature
and
propertie
of
the
Goshauke
,
that

A

who
was
altogither
delighted
in

,
spying
vpon

his

toying
with
his

vpon
a

when
his
master
was
at

he
crept
in
at

got
him
to
the
heape
of
money
,
where
imitating
his
master
,
after
that
he
had
delighted
himselfe
enough
with
turning
and
tossing
the
money
to

,
at
the

he
began
to
throw
it
out
at
the

streete
as

could

With

Riches

I
haue
heard
that
famous
noble
man

Lord
Mathew
Balbanus
of
Lucquois
,
reporte
many
times
of
himselfe
,
that
he
praied
God
daily
to
grant
him
no

of
riches
,
except
it
woulde
please
him
to
giue
him
also
both
will

reason
to

them

A
desire

petition
doubtlesse
,
beseeming
not

a
priuate
noble
man
,
but
also
a
prince
himselfe
:
whose
gracious
fauour
is
so
much
the

how

hee
perf●rmeth

at
home
keeping

maintaining
a
great
number
of
learned
men

abroad
supporting
many
with
great

Wherefore
it
s●●med

This

Wherefore
I

may
compare
the

of
some

is
her selfe
killed
