TO
THE
TRVLY
NOBLE
AND
MOST
HOPEFVLL
MR.
WILLIAM
HOWARD
,
third

to
the
Right
Honorable
THOMAS

WHat
Motiue
(
Noble
Sir
)
may
induce
others
in
their
Dedications
,
I
know
not
:
sure
I
am
none
other
hath
incited
me
,
then
the
regard
of
your
owne
worth
,
and
that
natiue
ingenuitie
and
goodnesse
of
Spirit
,
I
haue
euer
perceiued
in
you
,
since
it
was
my
good
hap
to
enioy
your
acquaintance
,
and
to
spend
some
houres
with
you
at
your
Booke
in
Norwich
;
where
at
this
present
you
haue
your
education
vnder
the
Reuerend
,
Religious
,
and
my
Honorable
good
Lord
,
the
now
Lord
Bishop
of
Norwich
.
And
indeed
,
to
whom
rather
of
right
should
appertaine
these
my
Instructions
,
in
regard
of
their
subiect
,
which
is
the
fashioning
of
Nobilitie
after
the
best
Presidents
,
then
to
your selfe
euery
way
so
Nobly
descended
.
Beside
,
it
is
affirmed
,
that
there
are
certaine
sparkes
and
secret
seeds
of
vertue
innate
in
Princes
,
and
the
Children
of
Noble
personages
;
which
(
if
cherished
,
and
carefully
attended
in
the
blossome
)
will
yeild
the
fruit
of
Industry
and
glorious
Action
,
not
onely
aboue

strength
of
the

And
mee
thinkes
(
Sir
)
as
in
that
Cornelian
Stemme
(
whereof
Scipio
was
said
to
be
the

,
and
In
quo
(

already
you
grow
apace
,
reflecting
as
from
a
faire
Glasse
,
that
Princely
Moderation
and
Honesty
of
heart
,
of
the
good
Duke
your
great
Grand-father
,
the
Honourably
disposed
mind
of
my
Lord
,
your
Noble
Father
,
together
with
his
loue
and
admiration
,
of
whatsoeuer
is
honest
or
excellent
:
so
that
verily
you
need
no
other
patterne
to
the
absolute
shaping
of
your selfe
,
then
the
Images
of
your
fore-fathers

Arist.
in

.
But
as
Aristotle
saith
of
the
Vine
,
by
how
much
it
is
laden
with
Clusters
,
by
so
much
it
hath
need
of
props
:
so
say
I
of
Greatnesse
and
Nobilitie
,
euer
fruitfull
,
and
apt
to
abundance
,
it
hath
hourely
need
of
support
and
helpe
,
by
all
timely
aduice
and
instruction
,
to
guide
and
vphold
it
from
lying
along
.
Wherefore
,
since
the
Fountaine
of
all
Counsell
and
Instruction
,
next
to
the
feare
of
God
,
is
the
knowledge
of
good
learning
,
whereby
our
affections
are
perswaded
,
and
our
ill
manners
mollified
,
I
heere
present
you
with
the
first
and
plainest
Directions
(
though
but
as
so
many
keies
to
leade
you
into
far
fairer
roomes
)
and
the
readiest
Method
I
know
for
your
studies
in
general
,
and
to
the
attaining
of
the
most
commendable
qualities
that
are
requisite
in
euery
Noble
or
Gentle-man
.
Nothing
doubting
,
but
that
after
you
haue
herein
seene
the
worth
and
excellence
of
Learning
,
how
much
it
addeth
to
Nobilitie
;
what
errors
are
hourely
comitted
through
Ignorance
;
how
sweet
a
thing
it
is
to
conuerse
with
the
wisest
of
all
Ages
by
Historie
;
to
haue
in-sight
into
the
most
pleasing
and
admirable
Sciences
of
the
Mathematiques
,
Poetrie
,
Picture
,
Heraldrie
,
&c.
(
whereof
I
heere
intreat
,
together
with
the
most
commendable
exercise
of
the
body
,
with
other
generall
directions
for
Carriage
,
Trauaile
,
&c.
)
you
will
entertaine
this
Discourse
,
as
Vlysses
did
Minerua
at
his
elbow●
your
guide
to
knowledge
;
the
ground
,
not
onely
of
the
sweetest
,
but
the
happiest
life
.
And
though
I
am
assured
there
are
numbers
,
who
(
notwithstanding
all
the
Bookes
and
Rules
in
the
world
)
had
rather
then
behold
the
face
of
heauen
,
burie
themselues
in
earthly
sloath
,
and
basest
idlenesse
;
yet
Mr.
William
Howard
at
the
least
,
let
vs
recouer
you
from
the
tyrannie
of
these
ignorant
times
,
and
from
the
common
Education
;
which
is
,
to
weare
the
best
cloathes
,
eate
,
sleepe
,
drinke
much
,
and
to
know
nothing
.

HENRY
PEACHAM
.
To
my
Reader
.
I
Am
not
ignorant
(
Iudicious
Reader
)
how
many
peeces
of
the
most
curious
Masters
haue
beene
vttered
to
the
world
of
this
Subiect
,
as
Plutarch
,
Erasmus
,
Viues
,
Sadolet
,
Sturmius
,
Osorius
,
Sir
Thomas
Eliot
,
M.
Askham
,
with
sundry
others
;
so
that
my
small
Taper
among
so
many
Torches
,
were
as
good
out
,
as
seeming
to
giue
no
light
at
all
.
I
confesse
it
true
.
But
as
rare
and
curious
stamps
vpon
Coynes
,
for
their
varietie
and
strangenesse
,
are
daily
enquired
after
,
and
bought
vp
,
though
the
Siluer
be
all
one
and
common
w●th
ours
:
so
fares
it
with
Bookes
,
which
(
as
Meddailes
)
beare
the
Pictures
and
deuices
of
our
various
Inuention
,
though
the
matter
be
the
same
,
yet
for
variety
sake
they
shall
bee
read
,
yea
(
and
as
the
same
dishes
drest
af●er
a
new
fashion
)
perhaps
please
the
tastes
of
many
better
.
But
this
regard
neither
mooued
me
.
When
I
was
beyond
the
Seas
,
and
in
a
part
of
France
,
adiorning
vpon
Artoise
,
I
was
inu●●ed
oftentimes
to
the
house
of
a
Noble
personage
,
who
was
both
a
great
Sould●er
and
an
excellent
Scholler
;
and
one
day
aboue
the
rest
,
as
we
sate
in
an
open
and
goodly
Gallerie
at
dinner
,
a
young
English
Gentleman
,
who
desirous
to
trauaile
,
had
beene
in
Italy
,
and
many
other
places
,
fortuned
to
come
to
his
house
;
and
(
not
so
well
furnished
for
his
returne
home
as
was
sitting
)
desired
entertainement
into
his
seruice
.
My
Lord
,
who
could
speake
as
little
English
,
as
my
Country-man
French
,
bad
him
welcome
,
and
demaunded
by
me
of
him
,
what
hee
could
doe
:
For
I
keepe
none
(
quoth
he
)
but
such
as
are
commended
for
some
good
qualitie
or
other
,
and
I
giue
them
good
allowance
;
some
an
hundred
,
some
sixtie
,
some
fiftie
Crownes
by
the
yeare
:
and
calling
some
about
him
,
(
very
Gentleman●
like
,
as
well
in
their
behauiour
,
as
apparell
)
This
(
saith
he
)
rideth
and
breaketh
my
great
Horses
,
this
is
an
excellent
Lutenist
,
this
a
good
Painter
and
Surueyer
of
land
,
this
a
passing
Linguist
and
Scholler
,
who
instructeth
my
Sonnes
,
&c.
Sir
(
quoth
this
young
man
)
I
am
a
Gentleman
borne
,
and
can
onely
attend
you
in
your
Chamber
,
or
waite
vpon
your
Lordship
abroad
.
See
(
quoth
Monsieur
de
Ligny
,
for
so
was
his
name
)
how
your
Gentry
of
England
are
bred
:
that
when
they
are
distressed
,
or
want
means
in
a
strange
Countrey
,
they
are
brought
vp
neither
to
any
qualitie
to
preferre
them
,
nor
haue
they
so
much
as
the
Latine
tongue
to
helpe
themselues
withall
.
I
knew
it
generally
to
be
true
,
but
for
the
time
,
and
vpon
occasion
excused
it
as
I
could
;
yet
he
was
receiued
,
and
after
returned
to
his
friends
in
good
fashion
.
Hereby
I
onely
giue
to
know
,
that
there
is
nothing
more
deplorable
,
then
the
breeding
in
generall
of
our
Gentlemen
,
none
any
more
miserable
then
one
of
them
,
if
he
fall
into
miserie
in
a
strange
Country
.
Which
I
can
impute
to
no
other
thing
,
then
the
remisnesse
of
Parents
,
and
negligence
of
Masters
in
their
youth
.
Wherefore
at
my
comming
ouer
,
considering
the
great
forwardnesse
and
proficience
of
children
in
other
Countries
,
the
backwardnesse
and
rawnesse
of
ours
;
the
industry
of
Masters
there
,
the
ignorance
a●d
idlenesse
of
most
of
ours
;
the
exceeding
care
of
Parents
in
their
childrens
Education
,
the
negligence
of
ours
:
Being
taken
through
change
of
ayre
with
a
Quartane
Feuer
,
that
leasure
I
had
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
as
I
may
truly
say
,
by
fits
I
employed
vpon
this
Discourse
for
the
priuate
vse
of
a
Noble
young
Gentleman
my
friend
,
not
intending
it
should
euer
see
light
,
as
you
may
perceiue
by
the
plaine
and
shallow
current
of
the
Discourse
,
fitted
to
a
young
and
tender
capacitie
.
Howsoeuer
I
haue
done
it
,
and
if
thou
shalt
find
herein
any
thing
that
may
content
,
at
the
least
,
not
distaste
thee
,
I
shall
be
glad
and
encouraged
to
a
more
serious
Peece
:
if
neither
,
but
out
of
a
malignant
humour
,
disdaine
what
I
haue
done
,
I
care
not
;
I
haue
pleased
my selfe
:
and
long
since
learned
,
Enuie
,
together
with
her
Sister
Ignorance
,
to
harbour
onely
in
the
basest
and
most
degenerate
breast
.
CHAP.
I.
Of
Nobilitie
in
Generall
:
that
it
is
a
Plant
from
Heauen
;
the
Roote
,
Branches
,
Fruit.
IF
we
consider
arightly
the
Frame
of
the
whole
Vniuerse
and
Method
of
the
all-excellent
Wisedome
in
her
worke
;
as
creating
the
formes
of
things
infinitely
diuers
,
so
according
to
Dignity
of
Essence
or
Vertue
in
effect
,
wee
must
acknowledge
the
same
to
hold
a
Soueraigntie
,
and
transcendent
praedominance
,
as
well
of
Rule
as
Place
each
ouer
either
.
Among
the
heauenly
bodies
wee
see
the
Nobler
Orbes
,
and
of
greatest
influence
to
be
raised
aloft
,
the
lesse
effectuall
,
depressed
.
Of
Elements
,
the
Fire
the
most
pure
and
operatiue
to
hold
the
highest
place
;
in
compounded
bodies
,
of
things
as
well
sensible
as
insensible
,
there
runneth
a
veine
of
Excellence
proceeding
from
the
Forme
,
ennobling
(
in
the
same
kind
)
some
other
aboue
the
rest
.
The
Lyon
we
say
is
King
of
Beasts
,
Sy●●●
in
his
Fairy
Queene
.
the
Eagle
chiefe
of
Birds
;
the
Whale
and
Whirle-poole
among
Fishes
,
Iupiters
Oake
the
Forrests
King
.
Among
Flowers
,
wee
most
admire
and
esteeme
the
Rose
:
Among
Fruite
,
the
Pom-roy
and
Queene-apple
;
among
Stones
,
we
value
aboue
all
the
Diamond
;
Mettals
,
Gold
and
Siluer
:
and
since
we
know
these
to
transferre
their
inward
excellence
and
vertues
to
their
Species
successiuely
,
shall
we
not
acknowledge
a
Nobilitie
in
Man
of
greater
perfection
,
of
Nobler
forme
,
and
Prince
of
these
?
Can
we
be
curious
in
discerning
a
counterfait
from
the
true
Pearle
;
to
choose
our
siens
of
the
best
fruit
,
buy
our
Flowers
at
twenty
pounds
the
roote
or
slip
:
and
not
regard
or
make
difference
of
linage
,
nor
be
carefull
into
what
Stocke
we
match
our selues
,
or
of
what
Parents
we
choose
a
Seruant
?
Surely
,
to
beleeue
that
Nature
(
rather
the
God
of
Nature
)
produceth
not
the
same
among
our selues
,
is
to
question
the
rarest
Worke-mistris
of
Ignorance
or
Partialitie
,
Nobilitie
defined
.
and
to
abase
our selues
beneath
the
Beast
.
Nobilitie
then
(
taken
in
the
generall
sence
)
is
nothing
else
then
a
certaine
eminency
,
or
notice
taken
of
some
one
aboue
the
rest
,
for
some
notable
act
performed
,
bee
it
good
or
ill
;
and
in
that
sence
are
Nobilis
and
Ignobilis
vsually
among
the
Latine
Poets
taken
.
More
particularly
,
and
in
the
genuine
sence
,
Nobilitie
is
the
Honour
of
blood
in
a
Race
or
Linage
,
conferred
formerly
vpon
some
one
or
more
of
that
Family
,
either
by

not

who
when

left

to
see
what
it
was
:
which
the

taking

the

amazed
,
and
imagining
it
as
a

,
caused
it
to
be

out

to
bee
brought
vp
,
which
after
(
nursed
in
the
lap
of
Fortune
)
by
many
degrees
of
Honor
,
got
the
Crowne
of
Lombardy
.
Neither
are
the
truly
valorous
,
or
any
way
vertuous
,
ashamed
of
their
so
meane
Parentage
,
but
rather
glorie
in
themselues
that
their
merit
hath
aduanced
them
aboue
so
many
thousands
farre
better
descended
.
And
hence
you
shall
many
times
heare
them
freely
discourse
of
their
beginning
,
and
plainely
relate
their
bringing
vp
,
&
what
their
Parents
were
.
I
remember
when
I
was
in
the
Low-Countries
,
and
liued
with
Sir
Iohn
Ogle
at
Virecht
,
the
reply
of
that
valiant
Gentleman
Colonell
Edmondes
,
The
inge●●●ous
reply
of
Colonell
Edmonds
.
to
a
Countrey-man
of
his
newly
come
out
of
Scotland
,
went
Currant
:
who
desiring
entertainment
of
him
,
told
him
;
My
Lord
his
Father
,
and
such
Knights
and
Gentle-men
,
his
Couzins
and
Kinsmen
,
were
in
good
health
.
Quoth
Colonell
Edmondes
,
Gentlemen
(
to
his
friends
by
)
beleeue
not
one
word
hee
sayes
;
my
Father
is
but
a
poore
Baker
of
Edenbourgh
,
and
workes
hard
for
his
liuing
,
whom
this
knaue
would
make
a
Lord
,
to
currie
fauour
with
me
,
and
make
ye
beleeue
I
am
a
great
man
borne
,
&c.
So
that
the
valiant
Souldier
you
see
,
measureth
out
of
the
whole
cloath
his
Honour
with
his
sword
:
and
hence
in
ancient
times
came
Rome
,
Athens
,
Carthage
,
and
of
late
the
Ottoman
Empire
to
their
greatnesse
.
Honor
being
then
highly
prized
,
euery
one
aymed
at
Nobilitie
,
and
none
refused
the
most
desperate
attempts
for
the
good
of
his
Countrey
.
Thus
the
Decij
,
Cato
,
Marcellus
,
with
infinite
others
,
became
ennobled
,
and
had
their
Altars
,
Statues
,
Columnes
,
&c.
and
were
welnigh
adored
with
as
great
respect
,
as
their
Gods
themselues
.
From
no
lesse
meanesse
of
birth
and
beginning
,
we
find
many
great
and
famous
Bishops
,
Ciuilians
,
Orators
,
Poets
,
&c.
to
haue
attained
to
the
greatest
dignities
,
both
of
Church
and
Common-wealth
,
and
to
haue
checked
with
their
Fortunes
,
euen
Glorie
her selfe

A

thing
(
saith

it
is
by
doing
iustly
to
obtaine
a
Kingdome
,
and
as
glorious
to
prefer
Iustice
before
a

;
for
the
vertue
of
the
one
(
Numa

made
him
so
esteemed

honoured

that
he
was
of
all
thought
worthy

it

of

so

Tarquinius
Priscus
,
a
stranger
,
and
a
banished
man
:
and
of
later
times
,
Cosmo
di
Medici
in
Florence
,
vpon
whose
vertues
,
as
vpon
a
faire
prospect
,
or
some
princely
Palace
,
giue
me
leaue
a
little
,
as
a
traueller
to
breathe
my selfe
,
and
shew
you
afarre
off
the
faire
Tutrets
of
his
more
then
royall
Magnificence
,
being
but
a
priuate
man
,
as
I
finde
it
recorded
in
his
Historie
by
Machiauell
.
This
Cosmo
(
saith
he
)
was
the
most
esteemed
,
and
most
famous
Citizen
(
being
no
man
of
warre
)
that
euer
had
beene
in
the
memorie
of
man
,
either
in
Florence
,
or
any
other
Citie
;
because
he
did
not
onely
excell
all
others
(
of
his
time
)
in
Authoritis
and
Riches
,
but
also
in
Liberalitie
and
Wisedoms
.
For
among
other
qualities
which
aduanced
him
to
be
chiefe
of
his
Countrey
,
he
was
more
then
other
men
liberall
and
magnificent
,
which
liberalitie
appeared
much
more
after
his
death
then
before
.
For
his
sonne
Piero
found
by
his
Fathers
Records
,
that
there
was
not
any
Citizen
of
estimation
,
to
whom
Cosmo
had
not
lent
great
summes
of
Money
:
and
many
times
also
he
did
lend
to
those
Gentlemen
,
whom
he
knew
to
haue
need
.
His
magnificence
appeared
by
diuers
his
building
:
For
within
the
Citie
of
Florence
hee
builded
the
Abbaits
and
Temples
of
S.
Marco
,
S.
Lorenzo
,
and
the
Monastery
of
S.
Verdiana
,
&
in
the
mountains
of
Fiesole
,
S.
Girolamo
,
with
the
Abbey
thereto
belonging
.
Also
in
Mugello
he
did
not
only
repaire
the
Church
for
the
Friers
,
but
tooke
it
downe
,
and
built
it
anew
.
Besides
those
magnificent
buildings
in
S.
Croce
,
in
S.
Agnoli
,
and
S.
Miniato
,
he
made
Altars
,
and
sumptu●●●
Chappels
.
All
which
Temples
and
Chappels
,
besides
the
buildings
of
them
,
were
by
him
paued
,
and
furnished
throughly
with
all
things
necessarie
.
With
these
publique
buildings
,
wee
may
number
his
priuate
houses
,
whereof
one
within
the
Citie
mee●e
for
so
great
a
personage
,
and
foure
other
without
,
at
Carriaggi
,
at
Fiesole
,
at
Casaggiuolo
,
and
at
Trebio
,
all
Palaces
fitter
for
Princes
,
then
priuate
persons
.
And
because
his
magnificent
houses
in
Italy
,
did
not
in
his
opinion
make
him
famous
enough
,
he
builded
in
Ierusalem
an
Hospitall
to
receiue
poore
and
diseased
Pilgrims
.
In
which
worke
he
consumed
great
summes
of
Money
.
And
albeit
these
buildings
,
and
euery
other
his
actions
were
princely
,
and
that
in
Florence
he
liued
like
a
Prince
;
yet
so
gouerned
by
wisedome
,
as
he
neuer
exceeded
the
bounds
of
ciuill
modestie
.
For
in
his
conuersation
,
in
riding
,
in
marrying
his
Children
and
Kinsfolkes
,
he
was
like
vnto
all
other
modest
and
discree●e
Citizens
:
because
he
well
kn●w
,
that
extraordinarie
things
,
which
are
of
all
men
with
admiration
beheld
,
do●
procure
more
enuy
,
then
those
which
without
ostentation
be
honestly
couered
.
I
omit
,
as
followeth
shortly
after
,
his
great
and
excessiue
charge
in
entertaining
of
learned
men
of
all
professions
,
to
instruct
the
youth
of
Florence
:
his
bountie
to
Argiropolo
a
Gracian
,
and
Marsilio
Fi●ins
,
(
whom
he
maintained
for
the
exercise
of
his
owne
studies
in
his
house
,
and
gaue
him
goodly
lands
neere
his
house
of
Carreggi
,
)
men
in
that
time
of
singular
learning
,
because
Vertue
reares
him
rather
to
wonder
then
Imitation
.
To
proceed
,
no
lesse
respect
and
honour
is
to
be
attributed
to
Eloquence
,
whereby
so
many
haue
raised
their
esteeme
and
fortunes
,
as
able
to
draw
Ciuilitie
out
of

,

Question

to
remoue
certaine
doubts
,
which
as
rubs
clog
the
cleere
passage
of
our

:
and
the
first
concerning
Bastardie
,
whether
Bastards
may
be
said
to
be
Nobly
borne
or
not
:
I
answere
with
Iustinian
,
Sordes
inter

nominarinon

.
Yet
it
is
the
custome
with
vs
,
and
in
France
,
to
allow
them
for
Noble
,
by
giuing
them
sometimes
their
Fathers

I
willingly
produce
these

our
custome

ennobling
them
;
and
though

leaneth
not
on

side
,
yet
stand
they
in
the
head

Who
are
more
famous
then
Remus
and
Romulus
,
who
laid
the
first
stone
of
Rome
;
more
couragious
and
truly
valiant
,
then
Hercules
,
Alexander
,
our
King
Arthur
of
Britaine
,
and
William

more

and

then
Coelius

others
?
and
where
decretals
and
Schoolemen
may
beare

,
those
two

,
Gratian
and

?
A
second
question
ariseth
,
Concerning
vice
and
basenesse
.
whether
he
that
is
Noble
descended
,
may
by
his
vice
and
basenesse
lose
his
Nobilitie
or
no.
It
is
answered
,
that
if
he
that
is
ignoble
and
inglorious
,
may
acquire
Nobilitie
by
Vertue
;
the
other
may
very
well
lose
it
by
his
Vice
.
But
such
are
the
miserable
corruptions
of
our
times
,
that
Vices
go
for
prime
Vertues
;
and
to
be
drunke
,
sweare
,
wench
,
follow
the
fashion
,
&
to
do
iust
nothing
,
are
the
attributes
and
marks
now
adaies
of
a
great
part
of
our
Gentry
.
Hence
the
Agrigentines
expelled
their
Phalaris
:
the
Romanes
extinguished
the
memorie
of
the
whole
race
of
the
Tarquines
,
with
those
Monsters
of
Nature
,
Nero
,
Heliogabalus
,
&c.
the
Sicilians
Dionysins
the
later
,
with
others
.
Thirdly
,
Concerning
Pouertie
.
3.
Question
.
whether
Pouertie
impeacheth
or
staineth
Nobilitie
.
I
answere
,
Riches
are
an
ornament
,
not
the
cause
of
Nobilitie
;
and
many
times
wee
see
there
lyeth
more
worth
vnder
a
thrid-bare
Cloake
,
and
within

Cottage

4.
Question
.
concerning
Aduocates
and
Physitians
,
whether
we
may
rancke
them
with
the
ennobled
or
no.
Aduocates
or
Counsellors
being
Interpreters
of
the
Law
,
their
place
is
commendable
,
and
themselues
most
necessarie
Instruments
in
a
Common-wealth
;
wherefore

saith
the
Ciuill
Law

their

is
honorable
,
they
ought

;
and
to
be

Touching
Physitians
,
though
the
profession
by
some
hath
beene
thought
seruile
,
and
in
times
past
was
practised
by

,
as
Domitian

yet
it

concerning
Merchants
;
the

of
Merchandise
hath
beene
(
I

)
accounted
base
,
and
much
derogating
from
Nobilitie
,
except

exercised
&
vndertaken
by
a

thereof

speaking

saith
;
Vilis

huiusmodi

,
The
kind
of
life
is
base
,
and
contrary
to
vertue
.
But
some
may
obiect
vnto
me
the
great
Estates

Venice
,

,

,
Luca
,
&c.
where
their
Nobilitie
is
nothing
disparaged
by
the

of

.
I
answer
;
as
their
Coines
at

they
may
raise
themselues
high
or
lower
at
their
pleasure
:
but
abroad
(

they
fall

I

account

by

the

himselfe

is
bound

From

The

which
fall
not
(
like
the
Apples

)
with
a

touch
into
nothing
,
but
are
as
those
of
Hesperides
,
golden
,
and
out
of
the
vulgar
reach
.
First
,
Noble
or
Gentlemen
ought
to
bee
preferred
in
Fees
,
Honors
,
Offices
,
and
other
dignities
of
command
and
gouernment
before
the
common
people
.
They
are
to
be
admitted
neere
,
Which
was
the
office
of
a
Ba●on
in
ancient
times
.
and
about
the
person
of
the
Prince
,
to
be
of
his
Counsel
in
warre
,
and
to
beare
his
Standard
.
We
ought
to
giue
credit
to
a
Noble
or
Gentleman
,
before
any
of
the
inferior
sort
.
He
must
not
be
arrested
,
or
pleaded
against
vpon
cosenage
.
We
must
attend
him
,
and
come
to
his
house
,
and
not
●e
to
ours
.
His
punishment
ought
to
be
more
fauourable
,
&
honorable
vpon
his
tryall
,
and
that
to
bee
by
his
Peeres
of
the
same
Noble
ranke
.
He
ought
in
all
sittings
,
meetings
,
and
salutations
,
to
haue
the
vpper
hand
,
and
greatest
respect
.
They
must
be
cited
by
Bill
or
Writing
,
to
make
their
appearance
.
In
criminall
causes
,
Noblemen
may
appeare
by
their
Arturney
,
or
Procurator
.
They
ought
to
take
their
recreations
of
hunting
,
hawking
,
&c.
freely
,
without
controule
in
all
places
.
Their
imprisonment
ought
not
to
bee
in
base
manner
,
or
so
strict
as
others
.
They
may
eate
the
best
and
daintiest
meate
that
the
place
affordeth
;
to
weare
at
their
pleasure
Gold
,
Iewels
,
the
best
apparell
,
and
of
what
fashion
they
please
,
&c.
Beside
,
Nobilitie
stirreth
vp
emulation
in
great
Spirits
,
not
onely
of
equalling
others
,
but
excelling
them
;
as
in
Cimon
,
the
elder
Scipio
Africanus
,
Decius
the
sonne
,
Alexander
,
Edward
our
Blacke
Prince
,
and
many
others
.
It
many
times
procureth
a
good
marriage
,
as
in
Germany
,
where
a
faire
Coate
and
a
Crest
,
is
often
preferred
before
a
good
reuenew
.
It
is
a
spurre
in
braue
and
good
Spirits
,
to
beare
in
mind
those
things
which
their
Ancestors
haue
nobly
atchieued
.
It
transferreth
it selfe
vnto
Posteritie
;
and
as
for
the
most
part
wee
see
the
children
of
Noble
Personages
,
to
beare
the
lincaments
and
resemblance
of
their
Parents
:
so
in
like
manner
,
for
the
most
part
they
possesse
their
vertues
and
Noble
dispositions
,
which
euen
in
their
tenderest
yeares
,
will
but
forth
and
discouer
it selfe

For

they

a

(

from
Charles

in

of

with
infinite
others
of
like
Nature
:
yet
the
ancient
Nobilitie
(
whereof
there
are
many
Honorable
families
;
as
Hohenlo
,
Egment
,
Horne
,
Brede●ode
,

,
Betsolaër

)
keepe
themselues
entire

and
maintaining
their
ancient

and

,
free
from
scandall
of
dishonour
,
as
well
as
wee
laugh
at
these
their
boorish
deuices
.
Some
againe
,
by
altering
letters
or
syllables
,
or
adding
to
their
names
,
will
insinuate
themselues
into
Noble
houses
,
and
not
sticke
many
times
to
beare
their
Coates
.
But
the
most
common
and
worst
of
all
,
is
in
all
places
the
ordinary
purchasing
of
Armes
and
Honors
for
Money
,
very
preiudiciall
to
true
Nobilitie
and
politique
gouernment
:
for
who
will
hazzard
his
person
and
estate
to
infinite
dangers
for
Honour
,
when
others
at
home
may
haue
it
si●e
sudore
&
sanguin●
,
onely
by
bleeding
in
the
vena
c●n●
,
called
marsupium
?
The
pure
Oyle
cannot
mingle
with
the
water
,
no
more
this
extracted
quintessence
and
Spirit
of
Vertue
,
with
the
dregges
and
subsistence
of
vnworthinesse
.
Hippolytu●
à
Collibus
.
Euripides
,
when
his
Father
told
him
he
was
knighted
,
made
him
this
reply
;
Good
Father
,
you
haue
that
which
euery
man
may
haue
for
his
Money
.
And
certainely
,
Vertue
dum

ar
du●
,
will
not
stoope
to
take
vp
her
reward
in
the
streete
.
The
French
man
is
so
bold
,
as
to
terme
such
intruders
Gentil-villaines
;
but
I
dare
not
vse
that
word
,
lest
some
that
challenge
the
first
part
of
it
,
should
returne
me
the
latter
.
Lastly
,
to
conclude
,
most
pittifull
is
the
pride
of
many
,
who
when
they
are
nobly
borne
,
not
onely
staine
their
stocke
with
vice
,
and
all
base
behauiour
,
relying
and
vaunting
of
their
long
pedigrees
,
and
exploits
of
their
Fathers
,
(
themselues
liuing
in
sloath
and
idlenesse
)
disparage
and
disgrace
those
,
who
by
their
vertuous
endeuours
are
rising
.
To
these
and
such
,
I
oppose
Marius
,
and
that
stout
reply
of
his
in
Salust
:
They
contemne
me●
as
an
vpstart
,
I
scorn●
their
sloath
and
basenesse
.
Againe
,
What
they
idlely
heave
and
reade
at
home
,
my selfe
hath
either
acted
or
seene
;
if
they
scorne
me
,
let
them
scorne
their
Ancestors
,
who
came
by
their
Nobilitie
as
I
haue
done
:
If
they
〈◊〉
mine
Honor
,
let
them
also
enuy
my
labours
,
mine
innocence
,
my
perils
,
&c.
Now
see
how
equally
they
deale
:
that
which
they
arrogate
to
themselues
from
the
vertue
of
others
,
that
they
deny
me
from
mine
owne
,
because
I
haue
no
Images
,
and
my
Nobilitie
is
new
,
&c.
Shortly
after
:
I
cannot
,
to
prooue
my
descent
,
bring
forth
the
Images
of
my
Ancestors
,
their
Triumphs
,
their
Consulships
;
but
if
neede
be
,
I
can
shew
Launces
,
my
Ensigne
,
Caparisons
,
and
other
such
warlike
implements
,
beside
a
number
of
scarres
vpon
my
breast
:
these
are
my
Images
,
my
Nobilitie
,
not
left
me
by
descent
and
inheritance
,
&c.
And
as
resolute
of
late
yeares
,
was
the
answer
of
Verdugo
a
Spaniard
,
Commander
in
Friseland
,
to
certaine
of
the
Spanish
Nobilitie
,
who
murmured
at
a
great
feast
,
the
sonne
of
a
Hang-man
should
take
place
aboue
them
,
(
for
so
he
was

and
his

Gentlemen

question
not
my

or
who
my

I
am
the

mine
owne

;
if
any

dares
as
much
as
I
haue
done

the

by
so

he

AS
the
Spring
is
the
onely
fitting
seede
time
for
graine
,
setting
and
planting
in
Garden
and
Orchard
:
So
youth
,
the
Aprill
of
mans
life
,
is
the
most
naturall
and
conuenient
season
to
scatter
the
Seeds
of
knowledge
vpon
the

of

,
saith
Plato
,
It
behooueth
in
youth
out
of
hand
,
to
desire
and
bend
our
minds
to
Learning
:
neither
as
good
Husbands
,
while
time
serueth
,
let
slip
one
houre
;
for
,
saith
he
,
elsewhere
,
Our
ground
is
hard
,
In
Ph●●dre
.
and
our
horses
be
wild
;
withall
,
if
we
meane
to
reape
a
plentifull
haruest
,
take
we
the
counsell
of
Adrastus
in
Euripides
,
To
looke
that
the
seed
be
good
.
For
,
in
the
foundation
of
youth
,
well
ordered
and
taught
,
consists
(
saith
Plato
againe
)
the
flourishing
of
the
Common-wealth
.
This
tender
Age
is
like
water
spilt
vpon
a
table
,
which
with
a
finger
wee
may
draw
and
direct
which
way
we
list
;
or
like
the
young
Hop
,
which
,
if
wanting
a
pole
,
taketh
hold
of
the
next
hedge
:
so
that
now
is
the
time
(
as
Waxe
)
to
worke
it
plyant
to
any
forme
.
How
many
excellent
wits
haue
we
in
this
Land
,
that
smell
of
the
Caske
,
by
neglecting
their
young
time
when
they
should
haue
learned
!
Horace
his
Quo
semel
,
once
fit
for
the
best
Wine
,
since
too
bad
for
the
best
Vineger
,
who
growne
to
yeares
of
discretion
,
and
solid
vnderstanding
,
deepely
bewaile
their
misspent
,
or
misguided
youth
,
with
too
late
wishing
(
as
I
haue
heard
many
)
that
they
had
lost
a
ioynt
,
halte
their
estates
,
so
that
they
had
beene
held
to
their
Bookes
when
they
were
young
.
The
most
(
and
without
cause
)
lay
the
fault
vpon
bad
Masters
;
to
say
truth
,
it
is
a
generall
plague
and
complaint
of
the
whole
Land
;
for
,
for'one
discreete
and
able
Teacher
,
you
shall
finde
twenty
ignorant
and
carelesse
,
who
(
among
so
many
fertile
and
delicate
wits
as
England
affoordeth
)
whereas
they
make
one
Scholler
,
they
marre
ten
.
The
first
and
maine
Error
of
Masters
,
The
first
and
maine
errors
of
Masters
.
is
want
of
discretion
,
when
in
such
varietie
of
Natures
as
different
as
their
countenances
,
the
Master
neuer
laboureth
to
try
the
strength
of
euery
capacitie
by
it selfe
,
In
E●bi●
.
which
(
as
that
Lesbian
stone
Aristotle
speaketh
of
)
must
haue
the
rule
fitted
to
it
,
not
that
brought
to
the
rule
:
for
as
the
selfe
same
medicines
haue
seuerall
operations
,
according
to
the
complexions
they
worke
vpon
;
so
one
and
the
selfe-same
Method
agreeth
not
with
all
alike
:
some
are
quick
of
capacitie
,
and
most
apprehensiue
,
others
of
as
dull
;
some
of
a
strong
memorie
,
others
of
as
weake
;
yet
may
that
dullard
,
or
bad
memorie
,
(
if
he
be
obserued
)
proue
as
good
,
yea
(
in
Aristotles
opinion
)
better
then
of
the
other
.
But
we
see
on
the
contrary
,
out
of
the
Masters
carterly
iudgment
,
like
Horses
in
a
teame
,
they
are
set
to
draw
al
alike
,
when
some
one
or
two
prime
and
able
wits
in
the
Schoole
,

〈◊〉
(
which
he
culs
out
to
admiration
if
strangers
come
,
as
a
Costardmonger
his
fairest
Pippins
)
like
fleete
hounds
goe
away
with
the
game
,
when
the
rest
need
helping
ouer
a
stile
a
mile
behind
:
hence
being
either
quite
discouraged
in
themselues
,
or
taken
away
by
their
friends
(
who
for
the
most
part
measure
their
learning
by
the
forme
they
fit
it
)
they
take
leaue
of
their
bookes
while
they
liue
.
A
second
ouer-sight
nigh
a
kin
to
the
former
,
is
indiscretion
in
correction
,
in
vsing
all
Natures
alike
,
and
that
with
immoderation
,
or
rather
plaine
crueltie
:

it
is

these

beleeue
with

that
there
is
no

Method
of
making

vnderstandeth

which
is
fax
mentis
honestae
,
to
whom
conquest
and

are
a
thousand
tortures
.
Of
which
disposition
for
the
most

,
are
most
of
our
young
Nobilitie
and
Gentlemen
,
well
borne
,
inheriting

vertue

of

wil
bewary
it selfe
,
as
well
in
the
Schoole
as
abroad
at
their

recreations

Quintilian
aboue
all

,
desireth
this
disposition
to
make
his
Orator

greeueth
,

haue
I
knowne
these

as
roughly
handled
by

of

(

asses

Ingenuitie

brooke

more

saith

)
then
to
haue
the
charge
of
Noble
and
Gentlemen
.
In
Germanie
the
Schoole
is
,
and
as
the
name
importeth
,
it
ought
to
be
meerely
Ludus
literarius
,
a
very
pastime
of
learning
,
where
it
is
a
rare
thing
to
see
a
Rodde
stirring
:
yet
I
heartily
wish
that
our
Children
of
England
were
but
halfe
so
ready
in
writing
and
speaking
Latine
,
which
Boyes
of
tenne
and
twelue
yeares
old
will
doe
so
roundly
,
and
with
so
neate
a
phrase
and
stile
,
that
many
of
our
Masters
would
hardly
mend
them
;
hauing
onely
for
their
punishment
shame
,
and
for
their
reward
praise
.
Cauendum

(
saith
Quintilian
)
sed

that
is
,
wee
must
hold
our
hands
,
and
rather
bring
a
Child
forward
with
praise
,
and
preferring
of
others
.
Beside
,
there
ought
to
bee
a
reciprocall
and
a
mutuall
affection
betwixt
the
Master
and
Scholler
,

Katherine

)
doe
principally
require
,
Patris
in
illum
in
duendo
affectum
,
by
putting
on
a
Fathers
affection
toward
him
:
and
as
Pliny
saith
,
Amore
,
non
artifice
docente
,
qui
optimus
Magister
est
:
To
win
his
heart
and
affection
by
loue
,
which
is
the
best
Master
,
the
Scholler
againe
the
contrary
.
So
may
a
discrect
Master
,
with
as
much
or
more
case
,
both
to
himselfe
&
his
Scholler
,
teach
him
to
play
at
Tennise
,
or
shoot
at
rouers
in
the
field
,
and
profit
him
more
in
one
moneth
,
beside
his
encouragement
,
then
in
halfe
a
yeare
with
his
strict
and
seuere
vsage
.
But
in
stead
heereof
,
many
of
our
Masters
for
the
most
part
so
behaue
themselues
,
that
their
very
name
is
hatefull
to
the
Scholler
,
who
trembleth
at
their
comming
in
,
reioyceth
at
their
absence
,
and
looketh
his
Master
(
returned
)
in
the
face
,
as
his
deadly
enemy
.
Some
affect
,
and
seuerer
Schooles
enfore
,
a
precise
and
tedious
strictnesse
,
in
long
keeping
the
Schollers
by
the
walls
;
as
from
before
sixe
in
the
morning
,
till
twelue
,
or
past
:
so
likewise
in
the
afternoone
;
which
beside
the
dulling
of
the
wit
,
and
deiecting
the
Spirit
,
(
for
,
Clcero

.
Otij
non
minùs
quam

)
breedeth
in
him
afterward
,
a
kinde
of
hate
and
carelesnesse
,
of
studie
when
hee
commeth
to
bee
sui
i●ris
,
at
his
owne
libertie
,
(
as
experience
prooueth
by
many
,
who
are
sent
from
senere
Schooles
vnto
the
Vniuersities
:
)
withall
,
ouer-loading
his
memorie
,
and
taking
off
the
edge
of
his
inuention
,
with
ouer
heauy
taskes
in
Themes
,
Verses
,
&c.
To
be
continually
poring
on
the
Booke
(
saith
Socra●●s
)
hurteth
and
weakeneth
the
memorie
very
much
;
Conue●se
with
the
learned
better
th●
reading
.
affirming
learning
to
bee
sooner
attained
vnto
by
the
eare
in
discourse
and
hearing
,
then
by
the
eye
in
continuall
reading
.
I
verily
beleeue
the
same
,
if
we
had
Instructors
and
Masters
at
hand
,
as
readie
as
Bookes
.
For
wee
see
by
experience
,
those
who
haue
beene
blinde
from
their
birth
,
to
retaine
more
by
hearing
,
then
others
by
their
eyes
,
let
them
reade
neuer
so
much
:
wherefore
Fabius
would
haue
,
Istud
ediscendi

,
this
same
toyle
or
tediousnesse
of
learning
by
heart
,
to
bee
presently
swallowed
or
passed
ouer
by
Children
.
Wherefore
I
cannot
but
commend
the
custome
of
their
Schooles
in
the
Low
Countries
,
where
for
the
auoyding
of
this
tedious
sitting
still
,
&
irksome
poring
on
the
booke
all
day
long
;
after
the
Scholler
hath
receiued
his
Lecture
,
he
leaueth
the
Schoole
for
an
houre
,
and
walketh
abroad
with
one
or
two
of
his
fellowes
,
either
into
the
field
,
or
vp
among
the
trees
vpon
the
rampire
;
as
in
Andwerpe
,
Breda
,
Vtrechs
,
&c.
where
they
conferre
and
recreate
themselues
till
time
calls
them
in
to
repeate
,
where
perhaps
they
stay
an
houre
;
so
abroad
again
,
and
thus
at
their
pleasure
the
whole
day
.
For
true
it
is
,
that
Lipsius
saith
,
Iipsius
in
epist.
ingenia
vegeta
,
must
haue
suos
re●essus
,
strong
and
liuely
wits
must
haue
their
retrait
or
intermission
of
exercise
,
and
as
Rammes
(
engines
of
warre
in
old
time
)
recoyle
backe
to
returne
with
the
greater
force
;
which
the
mind
doth
vnto
study
after
pause
and
rest
,
not
vnlike
a
field
,
which
by
lying
fallow
,
becommeth
farre
more
fat
and
fruitfull
.
A
fourth
error
,
is
the
contrary
(
for
,
Stulti
in
contraria
currunt
,
)
too
much
carelesnesse
and
remissenesse
in
not
holding
them
in
at
all
,
or
not
giuing
them
in
the
Schoole
that
due
attendance
they
ought
:
so
that
euery
day
is
play-day
with
them
,
bestowing
the
Summer
in
seeking
Birds-nests
,
or
haunting
Orchards
;
the
Winter
,
in
keeping
at
home
for
cold
,
or
abroad
all
day
with
the
Bow
,
or
the
Birding-peece
:
they
making
as
little
conscience
in
taking
,
as
their
Master
in
giuing
their
learning
,
who
forgetreth
belike
,
Plutarch
.
ad
Trasanum
.
that
Rumour
layeth
each
fault
of
the
Scholler
vpon
his
necks
.
Plato
remembreth
one
Protagoras
,
a
Bird
of
the
same
feather
,
who
when
hee
had
liued
threescore
yeares
,
made
his
boast
,
he
had
spent
fortie
of
those
threescore
,
in
corrupting
and
vndoing
youth
.
We
haue
,
I
feare
,
a
race
of
those
Protager-asses
euen
yet
among
our
common
Schoole-masters
in
England
.
But
the
diseases
whereunto
some
of
them
are
very
subiect
,
are
Humour
and
Folly
(
that
I
may
say
nothing
of
the
grosse
Ignorance
and
in-sufficiency
of
many
)
whereby
they
become
ridiculous
and
contemptible
both
in
the
Schoole
and
abroad
.
Hence
it
comes
to
passe
,
that
in
many
places
,
especially
in
Italy
,
of
all
professions
that
of
Peda●eria
is
held
in
basest
repute
;
the
Schoole-master
almost
in
euery
Comedy
being
brought
vpon
the
Stage
,
to
paralell
the
Zani
,
or
Pantaloun
.
He
made
vs
good
sport
in
that
excellent
Comedy
of
Pedantius
,
acted
in
our
Trinitie
Colledge
in
Cambridge
:
and
if
I
bee
not
deceiued
,
in
Priscianus
vapulans
,
and
many
of
our
English
Playes
.
I
knew
one
,
who
in
Winter
would
ordinarily
in
a
cold
morning
,
whip
his
Boyes
ouer
for
no
other
purpose
then
to
get
himselfe
a
heat
:
another
beat
them
for
swearing
,
and
all
the
while
sweares
himselfe
with
horrible
oathes
,
he
would
forgiue
any
fault
sauing
that
.
I
had
I
remember
my selfe
(
neere
S.
Albanes
in
Hertforshir●
where
I
was
borne
)
a
Master
,
who
by
no
entreatie
would
teach
any
Scholler
he
had
,
farther
then
his
Father
had
learned
before
him
;
as
if
he
had
onely
learned
but
to
reade
English
,
the
sonne
,
though
he
went
with
him
seauen
yeares
,
should
go
no
further
;
his
reason
was
,
they
would
then
prooue
saucy
rogues
,
and
controule
their
Fathers
;
yet
these
are
they
that
oftentimes
haue
our
hopefull
Gentry
vnder
their
charge
and
tuition
,
to
bring
them
vp
in
science
and
ciuilitie
.
Beside
,
most
of
them
want
that
good
and
direct
Method
,
whereby
in
shortest
time
and
with
least
labour
,
the
Scholler
may
attaine
vnto
perfection
;
some
teaching
priuately
,
vse
a
Grammer
of
their
owne
making
;
some
againe
,
none
at
a●●
:
the
most
Lillies
,
but
praeposterously
posted
ouer
,
that
the
boy
is
in
his
Quantitie
of
Syllables
,
before
hee
knoweth
the
Qualitie
of
any
one
part
of
speech
;
for
he
profiteth
no
more
then
he
mastereth
by
his
vnderstanding
.
Nor
is

But
in

they
haue
infinite
bad
,
and
go
stumbling
from

as
if
they
went
blindfold
for

:
hence
commeth
the
shifting
of
the
Scholler
from

to
Master
,
who
poore

(
like

let

that

Translation
.
For
I
know
nothing
that
benefiteth
a
Scholler
more
then
that
;
first
by
translating
out
of
Latine
into
English
,
which
laid
by
for
some
time
,
let
him
translate
out
of
English
into
Latine
againe
varying
as
oft
as
he
can
both
his
words
and
Phrases
.
Dosetus

Erasmus

next
exercise
himselfe
in
Theames
and
Declamation
if
he
be

The
old
method
of
teaching
Grammar
,
saith
Suetonius
,
was
disputation
in
the
fore-noone
,
and
declamation
in
the
after-noone
;
but
this
I
leaue
to
the
discretion
of

iudicious

I
passe
ouer
the

of

of

there
is
many

many

Of

Education

NEither
must
all
the
blame
lye
vpon
the
Schoolemaster
,
fond
and
foolish
Parents
haue
oft
as
deep
a
share
in
this
pretious
spoile
;
as
he
whose
cockering
and
apish
indulgence
(
to
the
corrupting
of
the
minds
of
their
Children
,
disabling
their

,
effeminating

)
how
bitterly
doth
Plato
taxe
and
abhorre

For
auoiding
of
which
,
In

the
Law
of

commaunded
children
to
be
brought
vp
,
and
to
learne
in

,
farre
from
the

of

;
and
the
Brutij
in
Italy
,
a
people
bordering
vpon
Lucania
,
following
the
custome
of
the
Spartans
,
sent
their

after
the
age
of
foureteene
away
,
to
be
brought
vp

Forrests
among
Shepheards
and

without

without

to
lye

hauing
nothing
else
then
Milke
or

for
their

,
and

Let

,
And
exercise
him
where

dangers
rife
,
&c.
If
many
of
our
young
youths
and
Gallants
were
dieted
in
this
manner
,
Mercers
might
saue
some
Paper
,
and
Cittie

,
and
many
a
painted
peece
betake
her selfe
to
a
Wheele
,
or
the
next
Hospitall
.
But
now
adaies
,
Parents
either
giue
their
Children
no
education
at
all
,
(
thinking
their
birth
or
estate
will
beare
out
that
:
)
or
if
any
,
it
leaueth
so
slender
an
impression
in
them
,
that
like
their
names
cut
vpon
a
Tree
,
it
is
ouer-growne
with
the
old
barke
by
the
next
Summer
.
Beside
,
such
is
the
most
base
and
ridiculous
parsimony
of
many
of
our
Gentlemen
,
(
if
I
may
so
terme
them
)
that
if
they
can
procure
some
poore
Batcheler
of
Art
from
the
Vniuersitie
to
teach
their
Children
,
say
Grace
,
and
serue
the
Cure
of
an
Impropriation
,
who
wanting
meanes
and
friends
,
will
be
content
vpon
the
promise
of
ten
pounds
a
yeare
at
his
first
comming
,
to
be
pleased
with
fiue
;
the
rest
to
be
set
off
in
hope
of
the
next
aduouson
,
(
which
perhaps
was
sold
before
the
young
man
was
borne
:
)
Or
if
it
chance
to
fall
in
his
time
,
his
Ladie
or
Master
tels
him
;
Indeed
Sir
wee
are
beholden
vnto
you
for
your
paines
,
such
a
liuing
is
lately
fallen
,
but
I
had
before
made
a
promise
of
it
to
my
Butler
or
Bailiffe
,
for
his
true
and
extraordinarie
seruice
:
when
the
truth
is
,
he
hath
bestowed
it
vpon
him
himselfe
,
for
fourescore
or
an
hundred
peeces
,
which
indeede
his
man
two
daies
before
had
fast
hold
of
,
but
could
not
keepe
.
It
is
not
commonly
seene
,
that
the
most
Gentlemen
will
giue
better
wages
,
and
deale
more
bountifully
with
a
fellow
who
can
but
teach
a
Dogge
,
or
reclaime
an
Hawke
,
then
vpon
an
honest
,
learned
,
and
well
qualified
man
to
bring
vp
their
children
?
It
may
be
,
hence
it
is
that
Dogges
are
able
to
make
Syllogismes
in
the
fields
,
when
their
young
Masters
can
conclude
nothing
at
home
,
if
occasion
of
argument
or
discourse
be
offered
at
the
Table
.

But
to

But
touching
Parents
,
a
great
blame
and
imputation
(
how
iustly
I

not

is
commonly
laid
vpon
the
Mother
;
not

for
her
ouer

in
winking
at
their
lewd
courses
;
yea
,
more
in

though

as

saith

I
dare
not
say
it
was
long
of
the
Mother
,
that
the
son
told
his
Father
,
he
was
a
better
man
,
and
better
descended
then
he
.
Nor
will
I
affirme
that
it
is
her
pleasure
,
the
Chamber-maid
should
be
more
curious
in
fitting
his
tuffe
,
then
his
Master
in
refining
his
manners
.
Nor
that
it
is
she
that
filleth
the
Cisterne
of
his
lauish
expence
,
at

,
or

But
albeit
,
many
Parents
haue
beene
diligent
enough
this
way
,
and
good
Masters
haue
likewise
done
their
parts
,
and
neither
want
of

or
abilitie
of

in
their
Children
to

yet
(
whether
out

,
a
pride
to
haue
their

out-goe
their

or
to
make

)
they
take
them
from

,
as

send
them

poore

not

that
when
they

of

there
is
such
a

betweene
Aristotles

what

for

out

(

to
contend
with

Of

HAuing

the
dignitie
of

,
the

and
qualitie
of
the
Master
,
of
a
readie
Method
for
vnderstanding
the
Grammar

of

Parent
,
of

I
turne
the
head
of
my
Discourse
,
with
my

(

mee

I

stand

for

And

giue

(
hauing
passed
that
,
I
imagine
,
Limbus

,
&
those
perillous
pikes
of
the
Grammar
rules
)
as
a
well
willer
vnto
you
and
your
studies
,
to
beare
you
company
part
of
the
way
,
and
to
direct
henceforth
my
Discourse
wholly
to
your selfe
.
Since
the
Vniuersitie
whereinto
you
are
embodied
,
is
not
vntruly
called
the
Light
and
Eye
of
the
Land
,
in
regard
from
hence
,
as
from
the
Center
of
the
Sunne
,
the
glorious
beames
of
Knowledge
disperse
themselues
ouer
al
,
without
which
a
Chaos
of
blindnesse
would
repo●●esse
vs
againe
:
think
now
that
you
are
in
publike
view
,
and
nucibus
reliclis
,
with
your
gowne
you
haue
put
on
the
man
,
that
from
hence
the
reputation
of
your
whole
life
taketh
her
first
growth
and
beginning
.
For
as
no
glorie
crowneth
with
more
abundant
praise
,
then
that
which
is
heere
won
by
diligence
and
wit
:
so
there
is
no
infamie
abaseth
the
value
and
esteeme
of
a
Gentleman
all
his
life
after
,
more
then
that
procured
by
Sloath
and
Error
in
the
Vniuersities
;
yea
,
though
in
those
yeares
whose
innocencie
haue
euer
pleaded
their
pardon
;
whereat
I
haue
not
a
little
meruailed
,
considering
the
freedome
and
priuiledge
of
greater
places
.
But
as
in
a
delicate
Garden
kept
by
a
cunning
hand
,
and
ouerlooked
with
a
curious
eye
,
the
least
disorder
or
rankness●
of
any
one
flower
,
putteth
a
beautifull
bed
or
well
contriued
knot
out
of
square
,
when
rudenesse
and
deformitie
is
borne
withall
,
in
rough
and
vndressed
places
:
so
,
beleeue
it
,
in
this
Paradise
of
the
Muses
,
the
least
neglect
and
impression
of
Errors
foot
,
is
so
much
the
more
apparant
and
censured
,
by
how
much
the
sacred
Arts
haue
greater
interest
in
the
culture
of
the
mind
,
and
correction
of
manners
.
Wherefore
,
your
first
care
,
euen
with
pulling
off
your
Boots
,
let
be
the
choice
of
your
acquaintance
and
company
.
For
as
infection
in
Cities
in
a
time
of
sicknesse
,
is
taken
by
concourse
,
and
negligent
running
abroad
,
when
those
that
keepe
within
,
and
are
warie
of
themselues
,
escape
with
more
safetie
:
So
it
falleth
out
here
in
the
Vniuersitie
;
for
this
Eye
hath
also
her
diseases
as
wel
as
any
other
part
of
the
body
,
(
I
will
not
say
with
the
Physitians
more
)
with
those
,
whose
priuate
houses
and
studies
being
not
able
to
containe
them
,
are
so
cheape
of
themselues
,
and
so
plyable
to
good
fellowship
abroad
;
that
in
mind
and
manners
(
the
tokens
plainly
appearing
)
they
are
past
recouerie
ere
any
friend
could
heare
they
were
sicke
.
Entertaine
therefore
the
acquaintance
of
men
of
the

for

CHAP.

Of
stile
in
speaking
and
writing
,
and
of
Historie
.
SInce
speech
is
the
Character
of
a
man
,
Cicero
1.
de
Orato●e
.
and
the
Interpreter
of
his
mind
,
and
writing
,
the
Image
of
that
;
that
so
often
as
we
speak
or
write
,
so
oft
we
vndergoe
censure
and
iudgement
of
our selues
:
labour
first
by
all
meanes
to
get
the
habit
of
a
good
stile
in
speaking
and
writing
,
as
well
English
as
Latine
.
I
call
with
Tully
,
that
a
good
and
eloquent
stile
of
speaking
.
Ci●
.
in
prolog.
R●●tor
.
Where
there
is
a
iudicious
fitting
of
choise
words
,
apt
and
graue
Sentences
vnto
matter
well
disposed
,
the
same
being
vttered
with
a
comely
moderation
of
the
voyce
,
countenance
and
gesture
.
Not
that
same
ampullous
and
Scenical
pompe
,
with
emptie
furniture
of
phrase
,
wherewith
the
Stage
,
and
our
pettie
Poeticke
Pamphlets
sound
so
big
,
which
like
a
net
in
the
water
,
though
it
feeleth
weightie
,
yet
it
yeeldeth
nothing
;
since
our
speech
ought
to
resemble
,
wherin
neither
the
curiousnesse
of
the
Picture
,
or
faire
proportion
of
Letters
,
but
the
weight
is
to
be
regarded
:
and
as
Plu●arch
saith
,
when
our
thirst
is
quenched
with
the
drinke
,
then
we
looke
vpon
the
ennameling
and
workmanship
of
the
boule
;
so
first
your
hearer
coueteth
to
haue
his
desire
satisfied
with
matter
,
ere
hee
looketh
vpon
the
forme
or
vinetrie
of
words
,
which
many
times
fall
in
of
themselues
to
matter
well
contriued
,
according
to
Horace
:
Rembe●●
dispositam
vel
verba
invita
feq●untur
.
An
Arte
Po●t
.
To
matter
well
dispos'd
,
words
of
themselues
do
fall
.
Let
your
stile
therefore
bee
furnished
with
solid
matter
,
and
compact
of
the
best
,
choise
,
and
most
familiar
words
;
taking
heed
of
speaking
,
or
writing
such
words
,
as
men
shall
rather
admire
then
vnderstand
.
Herein
were
Tiberiu●
,
M.
Ante●ie
,
and
M●cenas
,
much
blamed
and
iested
at
by
Augustus
,
himselfe
vsing
euer
a
plaine
and
most
familiar
stile
:
and
as
it
is
said
of
him
,
Verbum
insolens
tanquam
scopulum
effugiens
.
Then
sententious
,
yea
better
furnished
with
sentences
then
words
,
and
(
as
Tully
willeth
)
without
affectation
:
Hen●icus
Oilauus
Angliae
Rex
in
cysstola
quadam
ad
Erasmum
Ro●crod
.
in
Farragi●●
Epist.
for
as
a
King
said
,
Dum
tersiari
studemus
eloquendi
formula
,
subterfugit
nos
clanculùm
,
apertus
ille
&
familiaris
dicendi
modus
.
Flowing
at
one
and
the
selfe
same
height
,
neither
taken
in
and
knit
vp
too
short
,
that
like
rich
hangings
of
Arras
or
Tapistry
,
thereby
lose
their
grace
and
beautie
,
as
Themistocles
was
wont
to
say
:
not
suffered
to
spred
so
farre
like
soft
Musicke
in
an
open
field
,
whose
delicious
sweetnesse
vanisheth
,
and
is
lost
in
the
ayre
,
not
being
contained
within
the
walles
of
a
roome
.
In
speaking
,
rather
lay
downe
your
words
one
by
one
,
then
powre
them
forth
together
;
this
hath
made
many
men
naturally
slow
of
speech
,
to
seem
wisely
iudicious
,
and
be
iudiciously
wise
;
for
,
beside
the
grace
it
giueth
to
the
Speaker
,
it
much
helpeth
the
memorie
of
the
hearer
,
and
is
a
good
remedie
against
impediment
of
speech
.
Sir
Nicholas
Bacon
,
sometime
Lord
Chancellor
of
England
,
and
father
to
my
Lord
of
S.
Alb●n●s
,
a
most
eloquent
man
,
and
of
as
sound
learning
and
wisedome
,
as
England
bred
in
many
Ages
:
with
the
old
Lord
William
Burgbley
,
Lord
Treasurer
of
England
,
haue
aboue
others
herein
beene
admired
,
and
commended
in
their
publique
speeches
in
the
Parliament
house
and
Starre-Chamber
:
for
nothing
drawes
our
attention
more
then
good
matter
,
eloquently
digested
,
and
vttered
with
a
gracefull
,
cleere
,
and
distinct
pronuntiation
.
But
to
be
sure
your
stile
may
passe
for
currant
,
as
of
the
richest
alloy
,
imitate
the
best
Authors
as
well
in
Oratorie
as
Historie
;
beside
the
exercise
of
your
owne
Inuention
,
with
much
conference
with
those
who
can
speak
well
:
nor
bee
so
foolish
precise
as
a
number
are
,
who
make
it
Religion
to
speake
otherwise
then
this
or
that
Author
.
As
Longolius
was
laughed
at
by
the
learned
,
for
his
so
apish
and
superstitious
imitation
of
Tully
,
in
so
much
as
hee
would
haue
thought
a
whole
Volume
quite
matred
,
if
the
word
Possibile
had
passed
his
pen
;
because
it
is
not
to
be
found
in
all
Tullie
:
or
euery
Sentence
had
not
sunke
with
,
esse
posse
videatur
,
like
a
peale
ending
with
a
chime
,
or
an
Amen
vpon
the
Organes
in
Paules
.
For
as
the
young
Virgin
to
make
her
fairest
Garlands
,
gathereth
not
altogether
one
kind
of
Flower
;
and
the
cunning
Painter
,
to
make
a
delicate
beautie
,
is
forced
to
mixe
his
Complexion
,
and
compound
it
of
many
Colours
;
the
Arras-worker
,
to
please
the
eyes
of
Princes
,
to
be
acquainted
with
many
Histories
:
so
are
you
to
gather
this
Hony
of
Eloquence
[
](A09195-e9290-b)a
a
Exod.
4.
,
A
gift
of
heauen
,
out
of
many
fields
;
making
it
your
owne
by
diligence
in
collection
,
care
in
expression
,
and
skill
in
digestion
.
But
let
me
leade
you
forth
into
these
all-flowrie
and
verdant
fields
,
where
so
much
sweete
varietie
will
amaze
,
and
make
you
doubtfull
where
to
gather
first
.
First
,
Cicero
.
Tullie
(
in
whose
bosome
the
Treasure
of
Eloquence
seemeth
to
haue
beene
locked
vp
,
and
with
him
to
haue
perished
)
offereth
himselfe
as
Pater
Romani
eloquij
:
whose
words
and
stile
(
that
you
may
not
bee
held
an
Heretique
of
all
the
world
)
you
must
preferre
aboue
all
other
,
as
well
for
the
sweetnesse
,
grauitie
,
richnesse
,
and
vnimitable
texture
thereof
;
as
that
his
workes
are
throughout
seasoned
with
all
kind
of
Learning
,
and
relish
of
a
singular
and
Christianlike
honesty
.
There
wanted
not
in
him
(
saith
Tacitus
)
knowledge
of
Geometry
,
Tacitus
in
Oratore
.
of
Musicke
,
of
no
manner
of
Art
that
was
commendable
and
honest
;
he
knew
the
subtiltie
of
Logicke
,
each
part
of
Morall
Philosophy
,
and
so
forth
.
How
well
he
was
seene
in
the
Ciuill
Lawes
,
his
Bookes
De
legibus
,
and
his
Actions
in
Verrem
,
will
shew
you
:
which
are
the
rather
worthy
your
reading
,
because
you
shall
there
see
the
grounds
of
many
of
our
Lawes
heere
in
England
.
For
the
integrity
of
his
mind
,
though
his
Offices
had
lien
suppressed
,
let
this
one
saying
(
among
many
thousands
)
perswade
you
to
a
charitable
opinion
of
the
same
:
Ad
Atticum
,
lib.
13.
Arecta
conscientia
transuerfum
vnguem
,
non
oportet
quenquam
in
omni
sua
vita
discedere
.
Whereto
I
might
adde
that
tale
of
Gyges
ring
in
his
Offices
,
which
booke
let
it
not
seeme
contemptible
vnto
you
,
because
it
lyeth
tossed
and
torne
in
euery
Schoole
;
but
be
precious
,
as
it
was
sometime
vnto
the
old
Lord
Burghley
,
Lord
high
Treasurer
of
England
,
before
named
;
who
,
to
his
dying
day
,
would
alwaies
carry
it
about
him
,
either
in
his
bosome
or
pocket
,
being
sufficient
(
as
one
said
of
Aristotles
Rhetoriques
)
to
make
both
a
Scholler
and
an
honest
man
.
Imitate
Tullie
for
his
phrase
and
stile
,
especially
in
his
Epistles
Ad
Atticum
;
his
Bookes
De
Oratore
:
among
his
Orations
,
those
Pro
M.
Marcello
,
Pro
Archia
Poeta
,
T.
Annie
Milone
,
Sext.
Rose
.
Amerino
,
Pub.
Quinctio
:
the
first
two
against
Catiline
;
and
the
third
Action
against
Verres
.
These
in
my
opinion
are
fullest
of
life
,
but
you
may
vse
your
discretion
,
you
cannot
make
your
choice
amisse
.
After
Cicero
,
I
must
need●
bring
you
Caesar
,
Caesar.
whom
Tullie
himselfe
confesseth
of
all
Orators
,
to
haue

eloquent
and

In
whom
there
was
so
great
vehe
mency

that
fine
iudement
,
that
courage
and
motion
,
that
it
seemes
hee

with
the

To
reade
him
as
you
ought
,
you
must
bring
with
you
an
able
iudgement
,
beside
your
Dictionarie
;
by
reason
of
the
diuersitie
of
Countries
.
Tracts
,
Places
,
Riuers
,
People
,
names
of
ancient
Cities
and
Townes
,
to
be
sought
out
,
in
moderne
,
strange
,
and
vnknowne
names
:
of
materials
in
buildings
(
as
in
his
bridge
ouer
the
Rhine
framed
,
Ex
tignis
,
trab●bus
,
fibulis
,
sublicis
,
longurijs
,
&c.
)
which
,
except
you
were
seene
in
Architecture
,
you
would
hardly
vnderstand
:
then
strange
names
and
formes
of
warlike
Engines
and
weapons
then
in
vse
:
sundry
formes
of
fortification
,
water-workes
,
and
the
like
;
which
notwithstanding
,
since
haue
beene
made
knowne
and
familiar
vnto
vs
,
by
the
painefull
labours
of
those
all-searching
wits
,
Lipsius
,
Ramus
,
Gionanni
de
Ramellis
,
and
others
:
and
may
be
read
in
English
excellently
translated
and
illustrated
,
by
that
learned
and
truly
honourable
Gentleman
,
Sr
Clement
Edmondes
Knight
,
Clearke
of
his
Maiesties
most
honorable
Priuie
Counsell
,
my
worthy
friend
:
though
many
excellent
workes
of
Caesars
,
as
his
Epistles
,
his
Astronomy
,
&c.
through
the
iniquitie
of
enuious
Time
,
are
vtterly
lost
and
perished
.
Now
offereth
himselfe
Cornelius
Tacitus
,
Corn.
Tacitus
.
the
Prince
of
Historians
;
of
whom
I
may
not
vntruly
say
(
as
Scaliger
of
Virgil
)
&
euius
ore
nil
tomere
excidit
,
as
well
for
his
diligence
as
grauitie
;
so
copious
in
pleasing
breuitie
,
each
Sentence
carrying
with
it
a
kind
of
loftic
State
and
Maiestie
,
such
as
should
(
me
think
)
proceed
from
the
mouth
of
Greatnesse
and
Command
;
in
sense
retired
,
deepe
,
and
not
fordable
to
the
ordinarie
Reader
.
Hee
doth
in
part
speake
most
pure
and
excellent
English
,
by
the
industry
of
that
most
learned
and
iudicious
Gentleman
;
whose
long
labour
and
infinite
charge
in
a
farre
greater
worke
,
haue
wonne
him
the
loue
of
the
most
learned
,
and
drawn
not
onely
the
eye
of
Greece
,
but
all
Europe
to
his
admiration
.
But
there
being
,
as
Lipsius
saith
,
Suus
cuique
lingua
genius
:
Let
me
aduise
you
of
this
by
the
way
,
that
no
Translation
whatsoeuer
will
affect
you
,
like
the
Authors
owne
and
proper
language
:
for
to
reade
him
as
hee
spake
,
it
confirmeth
our
iudgments
with
an
assured
boldnesse
and
confidence
of
his
intent
and
meaning
;
remouing
that
scruple
of
Iealousie
we
haue
commonly
of
ignorant
and
vnfaithfull
pens
,
which
deale
many
times
herein
,
sublesta
fide
.
Besides
,
it
is
an
iniurie
to
the
Author
,
who
heereby
loseth
somewhat
of
his
value
:
like
a
peece
of
rich
stuffe
in
a
Brokers
shop
,
onely
for
that
it
is
there
at
a
second
hand
,
though
neuer
worne
,
or
newly
translated
but
yesterday
.
The
next
Titus
Liuius
,
T.
Liuius
.
whom
like
a
milky
Fountaine
,
you
shall
euery
where
finde
flowing
,
with
such
an
elegant
sweetnesse
,
such
banquetlike
varietie
,
that
you
would
imagine
other
Authors
did
but
bring
your
mouth
out
of
taste
.
In
his
first

an

of

,
and
from
the
darling
of

,
to
be
the
disdaine
of
all
the

.
After
him
(
whom
indeed
I
should
haue
preferred
before
,
Salustius
.
as
being
honoured
with
the
Title
of

〈◊〉
)
followeth
Salust
,
commended
most
for
breuitie
;
as
also
for
the
richnesse
of
his
speech
and
phrase
;
but
wherein
his
breuitie
consisteth
,
the
most
are
ignorant
.
Our
Grammarians
imagine
,
because
his
Discourses
(
as
they
say
)
are
only
of
the
matter
and
persons
barely
and
nakedly
described
,
without
circumstance
and
preparation
,
counsels
and
deliberations
had
before
,
effects
and
euents
after
:
which
is
quite
contrarie
;
as
may
be
seene
by
the
Conspiracie
of
Catilin●
,
which
hee
might
in
a
manner
haue
set
downe
in
three
words
.
But
how
amply
,
and
with
what
adoe
doth
he
describe
it
?
what
circumstances
more
open
,
more
abundant
,
then
where
he
saith
;
The
Romane
Souldiers
being
amazed
with
an
vnwonted
vprore
,
betooke
them
to
their
Weapons
:
some
hid
themselues
,
others
aduised
their
Companions
to
stand
st●●tly
to
it
:
they
were
afraid
in
euery
place
,
the
multitude
of
Enemies
was
so
great
.
The
heauen
was
obscured
with
night
,
and
thicke
Cloudes
,
the
perill
wis
doubtfull
:
and
lastly
,
no
man
knew
whether
it
were
safest
for
him
to
flye
,
or
to
stay
by
it
?
And
let
them
now
see
their
error
,
who
affirme
his
Discourse
to
be
vnfurnished
of
Counsels
,
Deliberations
,
Consultations
,
&c.
Is
not
the
reason
set
downe
,
why
Iugurth
assaulted
Cirtha
at
the
arriuall
of
the
Embassadours
?
the
intent
and
preparation
of
the
warre
by
Metellus
the
Consull
,
laid
open
in
an
ample
manner
,
wherein
consisteth
the
richnesse
of
his
Discourse
?
His
breuitie
indeed
,
worthy
your
obseruation
and
imitation
,
consisteth
in
shutting
vp
whole
and
weightie
Sentences
in
three

fetching

can
say
(

nothing

for

not

whereof
(
to

truth
)
you
shall
haue
the
greatest
vse
,
(
since
you
are
like
to
liue
an
eminent
person
in
your
Countrey
,
and
meane
to
make
no
profession
of
Schollership
.
)
I
haue
knowne
euen
excellent
Schollers
so
defectiue
this
way
,
that
when
they
had
beene
beating
their
braines
twentie
,

twentie
yeeres
about
Greeke
Etymologies
,
or
the
Hebrew
roots
and
Rabbines

could
neither
write

nor
true
Orthographi●
:
and
to
haue
heard
them
discourse
in
publike
,
or
priuately
at
a
table
,
you
would
haue
thought
you
had
heard
Loy
talking
to
his
pigges
,
or
Iohn
de
Indagine
,
declaiming
in
the
praise
of
wild
geese
;
otherwise
for
their
iudgement
in
the
Arts
and
other
tongues
very
sufficient
.
To
helpe
your selfe
herein
,
make
choice
of
those
Authors
in
prose
,
who
speake
the
best
and
purest
English
.
I
would
commend
vnto
you
(
though
from
more
Antiquitie
)
the
life
of
Richard
the
third
written
by
Sir
Thomas
Moore
,
the
Arcadia
of
the
noble
Sir
Philip
Sidney
,
whome
Du
Bartas
makes
one
of
the
foure
columnes
of
our
language
;
The
late
published
life
of
Henrie
the
seauenth
.
the
Essayes
and
other
peoces
of
the
excellent
Master
of
Eloquence
,
my
Lord
of
S.
Albanes
,
who
possesseth
not
onely
Eloquence
,
but
all
good
learning
,
as
hereditarie
both
by
Father
and
Mother
.
You
haue
then
M.
Hooker
his
Politie
;
Henrie
the
fourth
well
written
by
Sir
Iohn
Hayward
;
that
first
part
of
our
English
Kings
by
M.
Samuel
Daniel
.
There
are
many
others
I
know
,
but
these
will
tast
you
best
,
as
proceeding
from
no
vulgar
iudgments
:
the
last
Earle
of
Northampton
in
his
ordinary
stile
of
writing
was
not
to
be
mended
.
Procure
then
,
if
you
may
,
the
Speeches
made
in
Parliaments
frequent
learned
Sermons
,
in
Terme
time
resort
to
the
Starre-Chamber
,
and
be
present
at
the
pleadings
in
other
publique
Courts
,
whereby
you
shall
better
your
speech
,
enrich
your
vnderstanding
,
and
get
more
experience
in
one
moneth
,
then
in
other
foure
by
keeping
your
Melancholy
studie
,
and
by
solitarie
meditation
.
Imagine
not

forget
not
to
reade

for

they
are

For

whatsoeuer

the

to

is

,
How

haue
a

not
cas●ing
away

for

like
the

Yet
for
your

spare
them
not

if

for
it
is
not
likely
you
meane
to
be
a

by

,
when
you
haue
done
with

;
neither
suffer
them
through
negligence
to
mold
&
be
moath-eaten
,
or
want
their
strings

,
The
Meridian
passing
through
the

:
it
is
called
the
Meridian
of
Meridies
Noonetide
,
because
when
the
Sun
rising
from
the
East
,
toucheth
this
line
with
the
Center
of
his
body
,
then
it
is
noone
to
those
ouer
whose
Zenith
that
Circle
passeth
,
and
midnight
to
their
Antipodes
,
or
those
who
are
iust
vnder
them
in
the

.
The
number
of
Meridians

are
180.
(
allowing
two

which
all
concenter
in

,
and
what

lye
more
Easterly

I
had
rather
you
learnd

,
which
are
the
Contents
of
his

and
so
forth
into
Europe
:
but
he
was
erronious
in
his
descriptions
,
obscure
by
reason
of
his
Antiquitie
,
the
names
of
places
since
changed
;
Nauigation
by
the
benefit
of

the

whereof
heretofore
hath
beene
occasion
of
infinite
errors
among

could
neuer
bee

,
that

Arrianus

that
much
esteemed
Greeke
Authour
,
affirmed
the
scituation
of
Germany
to
be
very
neere
to

.
Stephanus
also
,
another
Countrey-man
of

saith
that
Vienna

a
Citie

Strabo
saith
,
that

which
indeed
(
being
the
greatest
Riuer

riseth
out

runneth
into
Sclauonia
,
receiuing
threescore
other
Riuers
into
his

:
it
is
therefore
farre
more
safe
to
follow
our
later
Writers
.
In
euery
Countrey
(
to
giue
one
instance
for
all
)
in
your
obseruation
you
are
to
follow
this
Method
;
What
to
obserue
in
a
strange
Countrey
.
first
to
know
the
Latitude
,
then
the
Longitude
of
the

,
the
temperature
of
the
Climate
,
the
goodnesse
or
barrennesse
of
the

,
the

of
the
Countrey
,
how
it
is
bounded
by
Sea
or

,
or
both
;
by
East

West

North
,
or

:
into
what
Prouinces
it
is
diuided
within
it selfe
,
the
commodities
it
affoordeth
,
as
what
Mines
,
Woods
or
Forrests
;
what
Beasts
,
Fowles
,
Fishes
,
Fruits
,
Herbs
,
Plants
;
what
Mountaines
,
Riuers
,
Fountaines
and
Cities
:
what
notable
matter
of
wonder
or
Antiquitie
:
the
manners
,
shape
,
and
attire
of
the
people
;
their
building
,
what
Ports
and
Hauens
;
what
Rockes
,
Sands
,
and
such
like
places
of
danger
,
are
about
the
place
:
and
last
of
all
,
the
Religion
and
Gouernment
of
the
Inhabitants
.
You
shall
haue
drawne
vpon
your
Globe

Mappe
,
Of
the
Mariners
Compasse
.
vpon
the
vastest
Seas
(
where
most
roome
is
to
bee

)
a
round
figure
,
representing
the
Mariners
Compasse
,
with
the
two
and
thirtie
winds
;
from
euery
of
which
there
runneth
a
line
to
the
Land
,
to
some
famous
Citie
,
Hauen

full
North

I
could
wish
you
now

Washing

very
profitable
to
a

to

at
your
leasure
you
may
in
one
fortnight
easily
learne
to
doe
:
for
the
practise
of
the
hand
,
doth
speedily
instruct
the
mind
,
and
strongly
confirme
the
memorie
beyond
any
thing
else
;
nor
thinke
it
any
disgrace
vnto
you
,
since
in
other
Countries
it
is
the
practise
of
Princes
,
as
I
haue
shewed
heretofore
;
also
many
of
our
young
Nobilitie
in
England
exercise
the
same
with
great
felicitie

I
haue
seene
French

Obseruations
in
Suruey
of
the
Earth
.
FIrst
,
how
Almightie
God
by
his
Diuine
prouidence
so
disposed
the
Earth
in
the
first
Creation
(
not
falling
out
by
chance
,
as
some
haue
thought
)
that
one
Countrey
,
Countries
had
not
their
scituations
by
chance
.
in
one
place
or
other
,
is
so
neerely
ioyned
to
the
next
;
that
if
after
it
might
happen
to
be
ouer
peopled
,
as
wel
man
as
beast
,
by
some
smal
streight
or
passage
might
easily
bee
prouided
of
a
new
habitation
:
which
Acosta
hath
well
obserued
,
resoluing
vs
that
doubt
,
how
wilde
beasts
,
as
Wolues
,
Foxes
,
Beares
,
and
other
harmfull
beasts
,
should
swim
ouer
so
vaste
Seas
,
and
breede
in
Ilands
.
Secondly
,
The
wit
and
constitution
of
men
,
according
to
the
temper
of
the
body
.
how
the
wit
,
disposition
,
yea
,
deuotion
and
strength
of
man
,
followeth
the
qualitie
and
temperature
of
the
Climate
;
and
many
times
the
Nature
of
the
soyle
wherein
he
liues
:
as
wee
see
the
Easterne
people
of
the
world
,
very
quicke
in
their
inuentions
,
superstitious
vnto
Idolatry
,
as
in
Chin●
,
Calecut
,
Ia●a
,
and
other
places
.
On
the
contrary
,
those
as
farre
North
in
Lapla●d
,
●●eland
,
and
other
places
,
as
dull
,
and
in
a
manner
senc●lesse
of
Religion
,
whereupon
they
are
held
the
most
notorious
Witches
of
the
world
.
We
see
those
that
inhabit
Mountaines
,
Mountainers
more
barbarous
,
then
those
of
the
vallies
.
and
mountainous
places
,
to
be
farre
more
barbarous
and
vnciuill
,
then
those
that
liue
in
the
plaines
:
witnesse
the
Inhabitants
of
the
huge
hils
Sierras
,
and
the
Andes
in
America
,
the
mountainous
North
part
of
N●ua
Franci●
,
the
Nararrois
in
Spaine
,
and
the
Highland
men
in
Scotland
.
We
see
and
finde
it
by
experience
,
that
where
the
soile
is
dry
and
sandy
,
the
ayre
is
most
pure
;
and
consequently
,
the
spirits
of
the
Inhabitants
actiue
and
subtile
,
aboue
those
who
inhabite
the
Fens
and
Marishes
.
Thirdly
,
consider
the
wonder
of
wonders
,
Of
the
Ocean
,
the
diuers
&
wonderfull
motions
therof
.
how
the
Ocean
so
farre
distant
,
holdeth
motion
with
the
Moone
,
filling
our
shoares
to
the
brim
from
the
time
of
her
appearing
aboue
the
Horizon
,
vntill
she
hath
ascended
the
Meridian
:
then
decreasing
as
much
vntill
she
toucheth
the
line
of
midnight
,
making
his
tide
twice
in
foure
and
twentie
houres
and
odde
minutes
:
how
the
Atlantick
or
Westerne
Ocean
is
most
rough
and
dangerfull
,
the
South
Sea
,
And
so
swift
,
that
from
Moabar
to
Maedagascar
(
or
the
I
le
of
S.
Laurence
)
they
may
come
in
twentie
daies
,
but
are
not
able
to
re●nne
in
3.
moneths
.
So
from
Spain
into
America
in
thirty
daies
,
but
cannot
returne
in
three
monthes
.
or
Del
Zur
,
albeit
of
infinite
vastnesse
,
on
the
contrary
so
calme
and
quiet
,
that
you
seemed
rather
to
saile
vpon
dry
Land
then
water
.
How
in
the
Sea
of
Cal●cut
it
is
high
water
,
but
at
euery
full
Moone
:
in
the
Sea
by
the
shore
of
Indus
,
but
at
euery
new

it

how
the

for

hath
set
an

betweene

how

,
as

on

Seuenthly

Of

how
God
hath
so
disposed
the
Riuers
,
that
by
their
crookednesse
and

they
might
serue
many
places
.
Let
vs
then
consider
,
how
the
most
fruitfull
places
and
beautifull
Cities
,
haue
become
the
dwellings
and
homes
of
the
most
slaues
,
as
Spaine
ouer-runne
by

Italy
by
the
Gothes

Vandals
;
and
at
this
day
,
a
great
part
of
Europe
by
the
Turke
.
How
the
Earth
like
an
aged
mother
,
is
become
lesse
fruitfull
,
as
we
see
by
the
barrennesse
sometime
of
the
most
fertile
places
,
the
decay
of
the
stature
and
strength
of
men
within
these
few
yeares
.
It
is
also
worthy
obseruation
,
to
see
how
the
Earth
hath
beene
increased
by
the
accesse
of
Ilands
,
and
againe
beene
diminished
by
inundation
and
Gulfes
breaking
againe
into
the
same
.
The
Ilands
of
the
Echinades
,
Of
certaine
Ilands
cast
vp
by

were
cast
vp
by

which
also
from

,
our

,
Many

againe
lost
by

and
many
other
places
will
giue
lamentable
testimonie
:
beside
the
face
of
the
Earth
hath
since
the
Creation
,
bene
much
altered
by
avulsion
or
diuision
of

Excellent
is
that

to

how

(
rather

by
an
vnsearchable

sheweth

remooued
from

Now
in
respect
of
heauen
,
it
is
so
small
a
point
,
that
the
least
starre
is
not
darkened
with
the
shaddow
thereof
:
for
if
the
smallest
starre
,
albeit
in
iudgement
of
our
sence
,
seemeth
but
a
pricke
or
point
,
yet
farre
exceedeth
the
bodie
of
the
Earth
in
greatnesse
,
it
followeth
in
respect
of
heauen
,
that
the
earth
must
seeme
as
little
.
Beside
,
if
the
earth
were
of
any
quantitie
in
respect
of
the
higher
orbes
,
the
starres
should
seeme
bigger
or
lesse
in
regard
of
those
Hypsomata
(
Altitudes
)
or
the
Climes
:
but
it
is
certaine
that
at
the
selfe
same
time
,
sundrie
Astronomers
finde
the
same
bignesse
and
eleuation
of
the
selfe
same
starre
obserued
by
their
calculation
,
to
differ
no
whit
at
all
;
whereby
we
may
see
if
that
distance
of
place
which
is
on
the
Earth
(
in
respect
of
the
Heauenly
orbes
)
exceedeth
all
sence
,
it
followes
that
the
Earth
(
poore
little
point
as
it
is
)
seemes
the
like
,
if
it
be
compared
with
Heauen
:
yet
this
is
that
point
,
which
with
fire
and
sword
,
is
diuided
among
so
many
Nations
,
the
matter
of
our
Glorie
,
our
seate
;
heere
we
haue
our
Honours
,
our
Armies
,
our
Commands
;
heere
we
heape
vp
riches
,
at
perpetuall
warre
and
strife
among
our selues
,
who
(
like
the
Toad
)
shal
fall
asleepe
with
most
earth
in
his
pawes
:
neuer
thinking
how
of
a
moment
of
time
well
spent
vpon
this
poore
plot
or
dung-hill
common
to
beasts
as
well
as

in

for

Now
I
must
take

of
our

The
Oracle
of

being
demanded
when

of
Greece
should
haue
an
end
,
replyed
:
If
they
would
double
the
Altar
in
Delos
,
which
was
of
a
cubique
forme
;
which
they
tryed
by
adding
another
cube
vnto
it
,
but
that
auailed
nothing
.
Plato
then
taking
vpon
him
to
expound
this
riddle
,
affirmed
the
Greekes
,
were
reproued
by
Apollo
because
they
were
ignorance
of
Geometry
.
Nor
heerein
can
I
blame
them
,
since
the
doubling
of
the
Cube
in
Solides
,
and
Quadrature
of
the
Circle
in
plaine
,
hath
euer
since
so
troubled
our
greatest
Geometricians
,
that
I
feare
except
Apollo
himselfe
ascend
from
Hell
to
resolue
his
owne
probleme
,
we
shall
not
see
it
among
our
ordinarie
Stone-cutters
effected
.
But
in
briefe
,
the
vse
you
shall
haue
of
Geometry
,
will
be
in
suruaying
your
lands
,
affoording
your
opinion
in
building
anew
,
or
translating
;
making
your
milles
aswell
for
grinding
of
corne
as
throwing
foorth
water
from
your
lower
grounds
,
bringing
water
farre
off
for
sundry
vses
.
Seeing
the
measure
of
Timber
,
stone
and
the
like
(
wherein
Gentlemen
many
times
are
egregiously
abused
and
cheated
by
such
as
they
trust
)
to
contriue
much
with
small
charge
and
in
lesse
roome
.
Againe
,
should
you
follow
the
warres
(
as
who
knowes
the
bent
of
his
Fate
)
you
cannot
without
Geometry
fortifie
your selfe
,
take
the
aduantage
of
hill
or
leuell
,
fight
,
order
your
Battaglia
in

,

So
that
I
cannot
see
how
a

Souldier
and

may
be
accomplished
without
Geometrie
,
though
not
to

Of
Poetrie
.
TO
sweeten
your
seuerer
studies
,
by
this
time
vouchsafe
Poetry
your
respect
:
which
howsoeuer
censured
and
seemeth
fallen
from
the
higest
Stage
of
Honour
,
to
the
lowest
staire
of
disgrace
,
let
not
your
iudgement
be
infected
with
that
pestilent
ayre
of
the
common
breath
,
to
be
an
infidell
;
in
whose
beleefe
,
and
doer
of
their
contrary
Actions
,
is
to
be
religious
in
the
right
,
and
to
merit
if
it
were
possible
by
good
workers
.
The
Poet
,
as
that
Laurell
M●i●
dreamed
of
,
is
made
by
miracle
from
his
mothers
wombe
,
and
like
the
Diamond
onely
polished
and
pointed
of
himselfe
,
disdaining
the
file
and
midwifery
of
sorraine
helpe
.
Hence
Tullie
was
long
ere
he
could
be
deliuered
of
a
few
verses
,
and
those
poore
ones
too
:
and
Ovid
,
so
backeward
in
prose
,
that
he
could
almost
speake
nothing
but
verse
.
And
Experience
daily
affordeth
vs
many
excellent
yong
and
growing
wits
,
as
well
from
Plow
as
the
Pallace
,
endued
naturally
with
this
Diuine
and
heauenly
guift
,
yet
not
knowing
(
if
you
should
aske
the
question
)
whether
a
Metaph●re
be
flesh
or
fish
.
If
bare
saying
Poetrie
is
an
heauenly
gift
,
be
too
weake
a
proppe
to
vphold

buzzardly
poore

their

Imperi●ll
Eagle
for

;
let
them

they
can

and
they
shall
finde
all

by

;
We
must
honour
with

,
the
mouth
from
whence
so
many
sweete
verses
and
golden
Poems
haue
proceeded
.
But
some
may
aske
me
,
How
it
falleth
out
,
that
Poets
now
adaies
are
of
no
such
esteeme
,
as
they
haue
beene
in
former
times
?
I
answere
,
because
vertue
in
our
declining
and
worser
daies
,
generally
findeth
no
regard
:
Or
rather
more
truly
with
Aretin●
(
being
demaunded
why
Princes
were
not
so
liberall
to
Poesie
,
and
other
good
Arts
,
as
in
former
times
)
Because
their
conscience
telleth
them
,
how
vnworthy
they
are
of
the
praises
giuen
them
by
Poets
;
as
for
other
Arts
,
they
make
no
account
of
that
they
know
not
.
But
since
we
are
heere
(
hauing
before
ouer-runne
the
Champaigne
and
large
field
of
Historie
)
let
vs
a
while
rest
our selues
in
the
garden
of
the
Muses
,
and
admire
the
bountie
of
heauen
,
in
the
seuerall
beauties
of
so
many
diuine
and
fertile
wits
.
We
must
beginne
with
the
King
of
Latin●
Poets
,
whom
Nature
hath
reared
beyond
imitation
,
and
who
aboue
all
other
onely
,
deserueth
the
name
of
a
Poet
;
I
meane
Virgil
.
In
him
you
shall
at

finde
(
not

that
Prudence

Efficacie
,
Varietie
,

which

glide
ouer

of

.
How
diuinely
,
according
to
the
Platonickes
,
doth
he
discourse
of
the
Soule
?
how
properly
of
the
Nature
,
number
of
winds
,
seasons
of
the
yeare
,
qualities
of
Beasts
,
Nature
of

?
What
in-sight
into
ancient
Chronologie
and
Historie
?
In
briefe
,
what
not
worthy
the
knowledge
of
a
diuine
wit
?
To
make
his
Aentas
a
man
of
extraordinary
aspect
,
and
comlinesse
of
personage
,
he
makes
Venus
both
his
mother
and
Ladie
of
his
Horoscope
.
And
forasmuch
as
griefe
and
perpetuall
care
,
are
inseparable
companions
of
all
great
and
noble
atchieuements
,
he
giues
him
Achates

,
his
faithfull
companion
?
What
immooued
constancy
,
when
no
teares
or
entreaty
of
Eliza
could
cause
him
stay
?
What
Piety
,
Pitty
,
Fortitude
,
beyond
his
companions
.
See
how
the
Diuine
Poet
gaue
him
leaue
to
be
wounded
,
lest
his
valour
in
so
many
skirmishes
might
bee
questioned
,
and
that
a
farre
off
,
not
at
hand
,
that
rather
it
might
be
imputed
to
his
Fortune
,
then
his
rashnesse
or
weaknesse
;
then
by
one
who
could
not
be
knowne
,
to
giue
the
enemie
occasion
rather
of
feare
,
then
of
challenging
the
glorie
.
And
whereas
he
bringeth
in
Camilla
,
a
couragious
Lady
,
and
inuincible
at
the
Swords
point
in
encountring
other
;
yet
he
neuer
bringeth
her
to
try
her
valour
with
Aeneas
.
Aeneid
,
11.
Againe
,
that
Tarchon
and
she
might
shew
their
braue
deeds
he
makes
Aeneas
absent
:
as
also
when
Turnus
so
resolutely
brake
into
his
Tents
.
Lastly
,
what
excellent
iudgment
sheweth
he
in
appropriating
the
accidents
and
Histories
of
his
owne
times
,
to
those
of
the
ancient
,
as
where
he
bringeth
in
Venulus
plucked
by
force
from
his
Horse
,
and
carried
away
with
full
speed
?
The
like
Caesar
confesseth
to
haue
happened
to
himselfe
.
Aene
as
with
his
right
arme
naked
,
commaunds
his
Souldiers
to

The
like
did
Caesar
at

of

Par●ise

thus

Thus
haue
I
in

,
comprised
for

the
large

it

deliuered
by

But
while
we
looke
backe
to
antiquitie
,
let
vs
not
forget
our
later
and
moderne
times
(
as
imagining
nature
hath
heretofore
extracted
her
quintessence
,
and
lest
vs

)
which
produce

fertile

as

Buchanan

is
esteemed
the
cheife
:
who
albeit
in
his
person
,
behauiour
,
and
fashion
,
he
was
rough
hewen
,
slouenly
and
rude
,
seldome
caring
for
a
better
out
side
then
a
Rugge-gowne
girt
close
about
him
,
yet
his
inside
and
conceipt
in
Poesie
was
most
rich
,
and
his
sweetnesse
,
and
facilitie
in
a
verse
,
vnimitably
excellent
,
as
appeareth
by
that
Master
peece
his
Psalmes
;
as
farre
beyond
those
of
B.
Rhenanus
,
as
the
Stanza's
of

of

:
Iul.

Scaliger
.
but
deseruing
more
applause
(
in
my
opinion
)
if
hee
had
fallen
vpon
another
subiect
;
for
I
say
with
one
,
Mihi

And
certaine
in
that
boundlesse
field
of
Poeticall
inuention
,
it
cannot
be
auoided
,
but
something
must
be
distorted
beside
the
intent
of
the
Diuine
enditer
.
His
Tragedies
are
loftie
,
the
stile
pure
,
his
Epigrams
not
to
be
mended
,
saue
heere
and
there
(
according
to
his
Genius
)
too
broad
and
bitter
.
But
let
vs
looke
behinde
vs
,
and
wee
shall
finde
one
English-bred
(
whose
glorie
and
worth
,
although
Cineri
suppôsta
doloso
)
is
inferiour
neither
to
Buchanan
,
Ioseph
of
Exeter
.
or
any
of
the
ancients
,
and
so
much
the
more
to
be
valued
,
by
how
much
the
brighter
he
appeared
out
of
the
fogges
of
Barbarisme
and
ignorance
in
his
time
;
that
is
,
Ioseph
of
Exeter
,
who
liued
vnder
Henrie
the
2.
and
Richard
the
first
,
who
wrote
that
singular
and
stately
Poeme
of
the
Troian
warre
,
after
the
Historie
of
Dares
Phrygius
,
which
the
Germanes
haue
printed
vnder
the
name
of
Cornelius
Nepos
.
He
died
at
Bourdeaux
in
France
,
where
he
was
Archbishop
,
where
his
monument
is
yet
to
bee
seene
.
After
him
(
all
that
long
tract
of

,
vntill
the
daies
of
Henrie

(
which
time

calleth

Golden
Age
of

flourished
Sir

More
,
Sir
Thomas
More
.
sometime
Lord
Chancellor
of
England
:
a
man
of
most
rich
and
pleasant
inuention
:
his
verse
fluent
,
nothing
harsh
,
constrained
or
obscure
;
wholly
composed
of
conceipt
,
and
inoffensiue
mirth
,
that
he
seemeth
ad
lepôres
fuisse
natum
.
How
wittily
doth
hee
play
vpon
the
Arch-cuckold
Sabinus
,
scoffe
at
Frenchified
Lalus
,
and
Herney
a
French
cowardly
Captaine
,
beaten
at
the
Sea
by
our
English
,
and
his
shippe
burned
,
yet
his
victorie
and
valour
to
the
English
disgrace
,
proclaimed
by
Brixius
a
Germane
Pot-aster
?
What
can
be
more
loftie
then
his
gratulatorie
verse
to
King
Henrie
vpon
his
Coronation
day
?
more
wittie
then
that
Epigramme
vpon
the
name
of
Nicolaus
an
ignorant
Phisitian
,
that
had
beene
the
death
of
thousands
,
and

?
more
sweete
then
that
nectar
Epistle
of
his
,
to
his
daughters
Margaret
,
Elizabeth
,
and
Cicelie
?
But
as
these
ingenious
exercises
bewraied
in
him
an
extraordinary
quicknesse
of
wit
and
learning
,
so
his
Vtopia
his
depth
of
iudgment
in
State-affaires
,
then

while

himself

commeth

of

the

many

you
should
imitate

there
being
so
many
equally
good

,
as

for
the

of

I
preferre

our
Phoenix

M.
William

,
M.
William

whom
in

kind
,
I
know

I
am
sure
,
none
excell

euen
by
the
iudgement
of

who
are
very
sparing
in

commendation
of

in

of
that
conceipt
they
hold
of
themselues
.
His
Cantiones
〈◊〉
,
as
also
his

,
are
meere
Angelicall
and
Diuine
;
and
being
of
himselfe
naturally
disposed
to
Grauitie

Pietie
,
his

is
not
so
much
for

with

inferior

(
how
much
soeuer
the

attributes
to
himselfe
)
for
depth
of
skill

richnesse
of

.
Infinite
is
the
sweete
varietie
that
the

exerciseth

there

no

Polybius
tooke

note

I
suppose

heereupon
it
was
ordained
in

,
that
euery
one
should
practise
Musicke
by
the
space
of
thirty

became
most
curteous
and
tractable
by
the
practise
of
Musicke
.
Yea
,
in
my
opinion
,
no
Rhetoricke
Rhetorique
and
Musicke
their
affinitie
.
more
perswadeth
,
or
hath
greater
power
ouer
the

nay

hath
not

but
Prosopopoe's

with

of

.
How
doth

amaze

when

And

miracle
,
as
Aristotle
saith
.
And
that
you
should
not
esteeme
basely
of
the
practise
thereof
,
let
me
tell
you
that
in
ancient
times
painting
was
admitted
into
the
first
place
among
the
liberall
arts
,
&
throughout
all
Greece
taught
only
to
the
children
of
Noble
men
in
the
schooles
,
and
altogether
forbidden
to
be
taught
to
seruants
or
slaues
.
In
no
lesse
honour
and
esteeme
was
it
held
among
the
Romanes
,
as
we
finde
in
Plinie
and
many
others
who
euery
where
advance
the
professors
;
and
the
dignity
of
the
practise
thereof
nothing
base
or
seruile
,
since
one
of
the
most
Noble
families
in
Rome
,
the
Fabij
thought
themselues
much
honoured
by
the
addition
of
that
Sirname
Pictor
.
For
the
first
of
that
name
,
although
he
was
most
honourably
descended
,
honoured
with
many
Titles
,
Consulships
and
Triumphs
,
excellently
learned
in
the
lawes
,
and
beside
accounted
in
the
number
of
the
Orators
of
his
time
;
yet
he
thought
his
skill
in
painting
added
to
these
Honors
,
and
his
memory
would
heare
the
better
of
posteritie
,
for
that
he
was
endued
with
so
excellent
&
quality
:
for
after
with
his
owne
hand
he
had
painted
the
Temple
of
Salus
round
about
within
,
and
finished
his
worke
,
he
wrote
in
faire
letters
in
an
eminent
place
,

Fabius

was
it
the
exercise
of
Nobilitie
among
the
ancients
onely
,
but
of
late
dayes
and
in
our
times
we
see
it
practised
by
the
greatest
princes
of
Europe
,
without
praeiudice
to
their
Honors
.
Francis
the
first
,
king
of
France
,
was
very
excellent
with
his
pencill
;
and
the
vertuous
Margaret
Queene
of
Navarre
beside
her
excellent
veine
in
Poesie
could
draw
and
limne
excellently
;
the
like
is
reported
of
〈◊〉
Duke
of
Savois
.
Lomazi●e
Nor
can
I
ouerpasse
the
ingenuitie
and
excellency
of
many
Noble
and
Gentlemen
of
our
owne
nation
herein
,
of
whom
I
know
many
;
but
none
in
my
opinion
,
who
deserueth
more
respect
and
admiration
for
his
skill
and
practise
herein
then
Master
Nathaniel
Bacon
of
Broome
in
Suffolke
(
younger
sonne
to
the
most
Honourable
and
bountifull
minded
Sir
Nicholas
Bacon
,
Knight
,
and
eldest
Barronet
,
)
not
inferiour
in
my
iudgement
to
our
skilfullest
Masters
.
But
certainely
I
know
not
what
fauourable
aspect
of
Heauen
that
right
noble
and
ancient
family
,
which
produceth
like
delicate
fruites
from
one
Stemme
so
many
excellent
in
seuerall
qualities
,
that
no
one
name
or
family
in
England
can
say
the
like
.
Painting
is
a
quality
I
loue
(
I
confesse
)
and
admire
in
others
,
because
euer
naturally
from
a
child
,
I
haue
beene
addicted
to
the
practise
hereof
;
yet
when
I
was
young
,
I
haue
beene
cruelly
beaten
by
ill
and
ignorant
schoolemasters
,
when
I
haue
beene
taking
,
in
white
and
blacke
,
the
countenance
of
some
one
or
other
(
which
I
could
do
at
thirteene
and
fourteene
yeares
of
age
:
beside
the
mappe
of
any
towne
according
to
Geometricall
Proportion
,
as
I
did
of
Cambridge
when
I
was
of
Trinitie
Colledge
,
and
a
Iunior
Sophister
,
)
yet
could
they
neuer
beate
it
out
of
me
.
I
remember
one
Master
I
had
(
and
yet
liuing
not
farre
from
S.
Athanes
)
took
me
one
time
drawing
out
with
my
pen
that
peare-tree
and
boyes
throwing
at
it
,
at
the
end
of
the
Latine
Grammar●
which
he
perceiuing
,
in
a
rage
strooke
mee
with
the
great
end
of
the
rodde
,
and
rent
my
paper
,
swearing
it
was
the
onely
way
to
teach
mee
to
robbe
Orchard
as
beside
,
that
I
was
placed
with
him
to
bee
made
a
scholler
and
not
a
painte●
,
which
I
was
very
likely
to
doe
;
when
I
well
remember
he
construed
vnto
me
the
beginning
of
the
first
Ode
in
Horace
,
Edite
,
set
ye
forth
,
〈◊〉
,
the
sportes
,
atavit
R●gib●●
,
of
our
ancient
kings
;
but
leauing
my
ingenious
Master
,
to
our
purpose
.
For
your
first
beginning
and
entrance
in
draught
,
make
your
hand
as
ready
as
you
can
(
without
the
helpe
of
your
compasses
)
in
those
generall
figures
of
the
Circle
,
ovall
,
square
,
triangle
,
cylinder
,
&c.
for
these
are
the
foundation
of
all
other
proportions
.
As
for
example
,
your
ovall
directs
you
in
giuing
a
iust
proportion
to
the
face
.
Your
Square
or
Cube
for
all
manner
of
ground
plots
,
formes
of
fortification
,
wherein
you
haue
no
vse
of
the
Circle
at
all
.
Your
Circle
againe
directs
you
in
all
orbicular
formes
whatsoeuer
,
and
so
forth
of
the
rest
.
Hauing
made
your
hand
fit
and
ready
in
generall
proportion
,
learne
to
giue
all
bodies
their
true
shaddowes
according
to
their
eminence
and
concauity
,
and
to
heigthen
or
deepe
as
your
body
appeareth
neerer
or
farther
from
the
light
;
which
is
a
matter
of
great
iudgment
,
and
indeede
the
soule
(
as
I
may
say
)
of
a
picture
.
Then
learne
all
manner
of
draperie
,
that
is
,
to
giue
garments
and
all
manner
of
stuffes
,
as
cloth
,
silke
,
and
linnen
their
naturall
and
proper
soldes
;
which
at
the
first
will
seeme
strange
and
difficult
vnto
you
,
but
by
imitating
the
choisest
printes
and
peeces
of
the
most
iudicious
masters
,
with
your
owne
obseruance
you
will
very
easily
attaine
the
skill
.
But
since
I
haue
already
published
a
booke
of
Drawing
and
Limming
;
wherein
I
haue
discouered
whatsoeuer
I
haue
thought
necessa●ie
to
perfection
herein
,
I
will
referre
you
for
farther
instruction
to
it
,
and
onely
here
giue
you
the
principall
Authors
for
your
Imitation
.
Since
,
as
I
said
,
proportion
is
the
principall
and
chiefe
thing
you
are
first
to
learne
,
I
commend
vnto
you
that
Prince
of
Painters
and
Graund-master
Albert
Durer
,
Alber●

Durer

who
beside
that
his
peeces
for
proportion
and
draperie
are
the
best
that
are
,
hee
hath
written
a
very
learned
booke
of
Symmetrie
and
proportions
,
which
hath
beene
since
translated
out
of
high
Dutch
into
Latine
.
And
though
his
peeces
haue
beene
long
since
worne
out
of
presse
,
yet
you
may
happen
vpon
them
among
our
skilfull
painters
,
which
if
you
can
get
reasonably
keep
them
as
iewels
,
since
I
beleeue
you
shall
neuer
see
their
like
:
they
seeme

is
done
I
confesse
with
greater
iudgment
,
and
is
generall
of
more
esteeme
then
working
in
water
colours
;
but
then
it
is
more
Mechanique
and
will
robbe
you
of
ouer
much
time
from
your
more
excellent
studies
,
it
being
sometime
a
fortnight
or
a
month
ere
you
can
finish
an
ordinary
peece

I
haue
knowne
Michael
lanss
of
Delf
in
Holland
,
the
most
excellent
painter
of
all
the
Low
Countries
,
to
haue
beene
(
at
times
,
)
a
whole
halfe
yeare
about
a
picture
,
yet
in
the
end
to
haue
blurred
it
out
(
as
it
is
his
manner
)
for
some
small
disresemblance
,
eyther
in
the
eye
or
mouth
;
so
curious
is
the
workemanshippe
to
doe
it
well
:
beside
oyle
nor
oyle
colours
,
if
they
drop
vpon
apparell
,
will
not
out
;
when
water
colours
will
with
the
least
washing
.
But
lest
you
should
think
me
ignorant
or
enuious
,
I
wil
not
conceale
from
you
the
manner
of
working
herein
,
and
though
it
may
bee
you
shall
not
practise
it

it
may
profit
others
.

To
begin
a
picture
,
first
drawe
the
Eye
,
the

make
of

lead
with
as
little
char-coale
black

hauing

leaue

,
after
that
make

After
you
haue
made
the
white

and
proportion
of
the

,
&c.
lay
your
carnation
or

ouer
the
face
,
casting
in

worke

.
Your

For

Masters

are
many
passing
iudicious
and
skilfull

The
onely
and
most
esteemed
Peece
in
the
world
for
Iudgement
and
Art
,
is
the
battaile
(
commonly
called
,
the
Battaile
of
Doomes
day
)
fought
in
the
night
betweene
S●lym
the
first
,
Emperour
of
the
Turkes
,
and
Ishma●l
Sophi
King
of
Persia.
It
is
a
night
peece
done
by
Bellino
,
the
famous
Venetian
Painter
,
by
the
commandement
of
S●lym
,
after
his
victorie
,
and
sent
as
a
present
to
the
Duke
and
State
of
Venice
,
where
it
yet
hangeth
in
their
Counsell
Chamber
.
There
is
likewise
a
very
rare
and
admirable
peece
in
And
warpe
,
done
by
a
Blacksmith
vpon
this
occasion
.
This
Smith
falling
in
loue
with
a
Painters
Daughter
,
(
who
vowed
neuer
to
marrie
any
,
but
of
her
fathers
profession
)
gaue
ouer
his
Trade
of
a
Smith
,
and
sell
to
painting
some
foure
or
fiue
yeares
:
in
which
time
,
the
hope
of
gaining
a
faire
maid
guiding
his
hand
,
hee
became
so
cunning
,
that
he
not
onely
obtained
his
Wench
,
but
a
masse
of
wealth
by
his
Pencill
;
there
being
offered
for
this
one
peece
alone
,
seauen
thousand
Crownes
.
It
hangeth
in
one
of
the
great
Churches
there
,
S.
Georges
or
our
Ladies
,
I
remember
not
well
which
.
But
thus
much
of
Drawing
and
Painting
in
generall
.
Now
it
shal
not
be
amisse
,
for
the
aduancement
of
this
excellent
skill
,
which
none
can
loue
or
admire
more
then
my selfe
(
that
I
may
omit
the
liues
of
the
ancient
Graecian
and
Romane
Painters
)
to
come
neerer
our
times
,
and
acquaint
you
with
the
best
Masters
Italy
alone
hath
affoorded
.
Ioannes
Cimabus
.
Italy
being
ouer-runne
,
and
miserably
wasted
with
warres
,
what
time
all
good
learning
and
Arts
lay
neglected
,
about
the
yeare
1240.
Painting
and
Painters
were
there
so
rare
,
that
they
were
faine
to
send
into
Greece
for
men
skilfull
herein
.
Of
whom
the
Italians
learned
the
rudiments
and
principles
of
this
Art
,
in
a
manner
quite
lost
amongst
them
.
So
that
while
certaine
Graecian
Painters
,
sent
for
by
some
of
the
Nobilitie
of
Florence
,
were
painting
a
Church
in
Florence
,
one
Ioannes
Cimabus
a
young
man
,
and
naturally
affecting
this
Art
,
grew
so
farre
into
familiar
acquaintance
with
them
,
that
he
learned
the
manner
of
their
draught
,
and
mingling
colours
,
that
in
a
short
time
he
excelled
the
best
Masters
among
them
;
and
was
the
first
that
I
can
find
among
the
Italians
,
that
brought
Painting
into
credit
,
and
got
a
name
by
his
skill
herein
.
For
some
of
his
peeces
for
the
raritie
,
were
carried
out
of
his
house
into
the
new
Church
in
Florence
,
with
Musicall
Instruments
of
all
sorts
,
and
solemne
procession●
others
being
vttered
at
great
rates
ouer
all
France
and
Italy
;
in
so
much
,
as
Charles
the
French
King
moued
with
his
fame
,
came
to
Florence
to
see
his
Worke
.
He
died
in
the
yeare
1300.
leauing
behind
him
his
Scholler
Giotto
,
who
by
the
opinion
of
Dantes
in
his
Purgatorie
farre
surpassed
him
:
He
was
so
humorous
,
saith
the
Interpreter
of
Dantes
,
that
if
himselfe
or
any
other
espyed
any
fault
in
his
work
,
he
would
(
like
Mishael
Ianss
,
now
liuing
at
Delft
in
Holland
)
deface
and
breake
it
in
peeces
,
though
he
had
bestowed
a
tweluemoneths
paines
thereon
.
Andrea
Taffi
.
About
this
time
also
,
the
Graecians
brought
the
Art
of
working
in
Musiue
,
or
Mosaique
to
Venice
,
where
in
S.
Markes
Church
they
wrought
it
;
with
whom
Taffi
falling
acquainted
,
hee
drew
one
of
the
best
Masters
among
them
,
named
Apoll●●●m
,
to
Florence
,
who
taught
him
to
bake
Mosaique
Glasses
,
and
to
temper
the
size
for
them
:
so
they
wrought
together
;
but
the
rudenesse
of
that
age
was
such
,
that
neither
they
nor
their
workes
were
in
that
esteeme
as
they
deserued
.
Gaddo
Gaddi
.
About
this
time
also
liued
Gadde
Gaddi
,
a
very
rare
Master
,
a
Florentine
borne
(
for
the
fine
and
subtile
aire
of
Florence
,
hath
produced
men
of
more
sharpe
and
excellent
spirits
,
then
any
other
place
of
Italy
)
who
excelled
in
Mosaique
,
and
wrought
it
with
better
iudgement
then
any
before
him
;
insomuch
as
hee
was
sent
for
to
Rome
,
Anno.
1308
the
yeare
after
the
great
fire
,
and
burning
of
the
Church
of
S.
Iohn
Lateran●
,
and
the
Pallace
of
Pope
Clement
the
fifth
:
whence
well
rewarded
,
he
returned
backe
into
Tuscane
,
where
he
dyed
Anno
1312.
Margaritene
.
Margarit●n●●
was
borne
in
Arezz●
,
a
very
skilfull
Master
:
he
was
the
first
that
deuised
laying
Gold
or
gilding
vpon
Bole
Armoniacke
to
be
burnished
,
as
we
see
it
in
knops
now
adaies
vpon
the
Valences
and
Canopics
of
beds
;
and
to
make
a
Glew
for
Picture
Tables
,
that
should
neuer
decay
.
Giotto
.
Giotto
was
not
onely
a
rare
Painter
,
but
also
an
excellent
Architect
,
for
all
manner
of
curious
conceipt
in
building
:
and
to
say
truth
,
was
the
first
who
of
latter
times
in
Italy
brought
picture
into
admiration
,
and
her
true
height
.
He
was
borne
at
Vespign●●●
,
a
village
fourete●ne
Italian
miles
from
Florence
:
his
father
was
an
husbandman
,
and
Gi●tt●
being
a
Boy
of
some
twelue
yeares
of
age
,
was
set
by
him
to
keepe
sheepe
:
but
Nature
hauing
ordained
him
for
another
end
;
the
Boy
while
hee
was
tending
his
sheepe
,
would
be
practising
with
a
sticke
vpon
the
sand
,
or
dustie
high-way
,
or
vpon
void
places
vpon
walls
with
a
Coale
,
to
draw
whatsoeuer
sorted
with
his
fancie
.
It
fortuned
on
a
time
,
while
he
was
drawing
the
picture
of
one
of
his
sheepe
,
Cimabus
to
passe
by
,
who
admiring
such
Art
in
the
Boyes
draught
,
(
who
had
neuer
any
other
direction
saue
out
of
his
naturall

demanded
of
him
if
he
would
dwell
with
him
:
who
answered
,
Yea
,
if
his
father
were
so
contented
.
The
father
agreed
,
and
placed
him
with
Cimabus
,
who
in
short
time
so
excelled
,
that
he
farre
surpassed
the
rusticke
Greeke
manner
of
working
,
bringing
forth
a
better
Moderne
Art
,
and
the
true
working
by
the
life
,
which
had
not
beene
knowne
in
two
hundred
yeares
before
.
He
was
very
inward
and
familiar
with
Dantes
the
Poet
,
whose
picture
he
drew
:
he
was
of
all
others
famous
for
his
skill
and
conceipt
in
expressing
affections
,
and
all
manner
of
gesture
,
so
that
he
might
be
truly
called
Natures
Scholler
.
His
workmanship
is
especially
seene
at
Acesi
,
a
Citie
of
Vmbria
,
in
the
Cloisters
of
S.
Francis
,
where
the
body
of
S.
Francis
lyeth
buried
:
where
among
other
rare
inuentions
of
his
,
is
to
be
seene
a
Monke
kneeling
before
Obedience
,
who
putteth
a
yoake
vpon
his
necke
,
he
holding
vp
both
his
hands
to
heauen
,
and
shee
laying
her
forefinger
vpon
her
mouth
,
casteth
vp
her
eyes
towards
Christ
,
from
whose
side
the
blood
issueth
in
great
abundance
.
On
either
hand
of
her
stand
wisedome
and
humility
,
to
shew
where
true
obedience
is
,
there
is
wisedome
and
humility
,
which
helpe
to
finish
euery
good
worke
:
on
the
other
side
is
an
historie
where
chastity
standeth
vpon
a
strong
and
high
rocke
,
as
not
to
be
won
,
or
mooued
by
the
force
of
kings
,
though
they
seeme
to
offer
Crownes
,
Scepters
,
and
Palmes
.
At
her
feete
lyeth
purity
,
in
the
shape
of
a
childe
washing
it selfe
,
and
by
chastity
standeth
pennance
,
hauing
diuen
away
with
her
discipline
winged
Loue
:
in
a
third
place
standeth
pouerty
barefooted
,
treading
vpon
thornes
,
a
dogge
barking
at
her
;
at
one
side
,
a
child
throwing
stones
at
her
,
on
the
other
,
another
child
with
a
sticke
putting
the
thornes
towards
her
legs
.
This
pouerty
is
marryed
to
Saint
Francis
,
whom
Christ
giueth
by
ioying
their
hands
:
in
a
fourth
place
is
Saint
Francis
,
praying
with
such
great
deuotion
,
and
inward
affection
expressed
in
his
countenance
,
that
it
detaineth
the
beholder
with
singular
admiration
.
From
thence
returning
toward
Florence
,
he
wrought
in
distemper
(
as
we
call
it
)
or
wet
with
size
,
sixe
histories
of
patient
I●b
,
wherein
are
many
excellent
figures
:
among
others
the
positures
and
countenances
of
the
messengers
bringing
the
sorrowfull
newes
vnto
him
,
which
are
not
to
be
mended
:
withall
a
seruant
,
with
one
hand
keeping
off
the
slies
from
his
sore
master
,
and
with
the
other
stopping
his
nose
:
the
countenances
and
draperies
of
the
standers
by
done
with
such
grace
and
iudgement
,
that
the
same
hereof
presently
went
ouer
all
Italy
.
Insomuch
that
Pope
Benedict
sent
a
messenger
from
Rome
into
Tuscany
to
know
what
manner
of
man
Giotto
was
,
and
what
his
workes
were
;
beeing
purposed
to
beautifie
Saint
Peters
Church
with
sacred
Histories
by
the
hand
of
some
excellent
master
.
This
Messenger
or
Courtier
from
the
Pope
,
taking
his
iourney
to
Florence
,
passed
by
Siena
,
and
still
enquiring
out
the
best
masters
,
tooke
a
draught
of
something
from
euery
one
of
them
to
carry
back
to
the
Pope
,
to
choose
as
he
thought
best
:
comming
to
Florence
in
a
morning
betimes
,
he
came
to
the
shop
of
Giotto
,
desiring
(
as
he
had
done
of
others
)
to
giue
him
a
touch
with
his
pencill
,
or
some
peece
to
show
his
Holinesse
.
Giotto
being
merily
disposed
,
tooke
a
sheete
of
paper
,
vpon
which
,
with
a
pencill
(
setting
one
arme
vnder
his
side
)
hee
drew
so
absolute
a
Circle
,
that
by
no
co●passe
a
truer
could
be
drawne
;
hauing
done
,
smiling
he
gaue
it
to
the
Cour●●ier
,
saying
,
There
is
my
draught
.
The
Cour●ier
imagining
he
had
flouted
him
,
said
,
is
this
all
?
Giotto
replyed
,
it
is
all
,
and
more
then
enough
.
When
the
Pope
with
others
of
iudgement
saw
it
,
and
heard
the
manner
how
carelesly
he
did
it
,
he
admired
and
confessed
,
he
passed
all
men
of
his
time
in
excellency
it
this
being
knowne
,
it
grew
a
prouerbe
in
Italy
,
M●re
round
then
Giotto's
Circle
.
The
Pope
after
this
,
did
him
much
honour
,
and
very
liberally
rewarded
him
.
Hee
had
painted
vpon
a
certaine
wall
the
picture
of
the
Virgin
Mary
,
and
when
this
wall
was
to
be
mended
,
such
care
(
by
reason
of
the
excellency
of
his
Art
)
was
had
of
this
picture
,
that
it
was
cut
square
and
taken
downe
whole
out
of
the
wall
with
a
great
deale
of
paine
and
cost
.
He
made
in
Mosai●●●
,
in
the
fore
court
of
Saint
Peter
,
the
ship
wherein
Peter
and
the
Apostles
were
in
danger
of
drowning
,
their
actions
and
gestures
full
of
feare
,
the
sailes
full
of
wind
,
with
the
behauiour
of
Fishermen
in
such
extremitie
.
At
Avag●●●
,
hee
wrought
for
Pope
Cle●●●●
the
fift
;
&
in
many
other
places
of
France
his
workes
are
yet
remaining
.
Anno
1316.
he
was
at
last
sent
for
by
Robert
king
of
Naples
,
for
whom
there
(
in
the
Church
of
the
Cloyster
of
Saint
Clare
)
he
made
many
histories
both
of
the
old
and
new
Testament
,
with
the
whole
historie
of
the
Reuelation
:
it
is
said
that
herein
his
invention
was
admirable
,
and
that
he
was
much
holpen
by
his
deare
and
ingenious
friend
Dan●es
the
Poet.
The
King
was
not
onely
pleased
with
the
excellencie
of
his
hand
,
but
with
his
many
witty
answers
and
conceipts
;
wherefore
sometime
he
would
sit
by
him
halfe
a
day
together
to
see
him
worke
.
Once
the
King
said
vnto
him
,
Giotto
I
will
make
thee
the
foremost
man
of
my
Court
;
I
beleeue
it
(
quoth
Giotto
)
and
that
(
I
thinke
)
is
the
reason
why
I
am
lodged
in
the
Porters
lodge
at
your
Court
gate
.
Another
time
also
the
King
said
thus
vnto
him
,
Giotto
,
if
I
were
as
thou
,
the
weather
is
so
exceeding
hot
,
I
would
giue
ouer
Painting
for
a
while
;
whereunto
Giotto
replyed
,
Indeed
Sir
,
if
I
were
as
you
,
I
would
let
it
rest
indeed
.
Another
time
,
being
at
worke
in
the
great
Hall
of
the
Court
,
the
King
merily
requested
him
,
to
paint
him
out
his
kingdome
;
Giotto
made
no
more
adoe
,
but
presently
painted
an
Affe
with
a
Saddle
on
his
backe
,
and
smelling
at
another
new
saddle
that
lay
before
him
at
his
feet
,
as
if
he
had
had
a
mind
to
that
,
rather
then
the
other
vpon
his
backe
;
and
vpon
each
saddle
a
crowne
and
a
Scepter
:
the
King
demanded
what
he
meant
thereby
;
Giotto
replyed
,
Such
is
your
Kingdome
and
Subiects
,
for
they
desire
new
Lords
daily
.
In
his
returning
to
Fl●rence
,
he
made
very
many
rare
peeces
by
the
way
,
deuised
many
excellent
Models
for
building
;
beside
other
his
workes
in
Caruing
,
Plaistique
,
&c.
The
Citie
of
Florence
not
onely
Roially
rewarded
him
,
but
gaue
him
and
his
posteritie
a
Pension
of
an
hundred
crownes
a
yeare
,
which
was
a
great
summe
in
those
times
.
He
died
to
the
griefe
of
many
,
in
the
yeare
1336.
and
was
buried
at
Florence
,
vpon
whom
Angelus
Politianus
wrote
this
Epitaph
worthy
so
excellent

man

Stephano
Fiorentino
.
This
Stephano
beeing
Giotto's
scholler
,
what
with
his
masters
furtherance
,
and
his
owne
industry
,
became
not
onely
equall
to
his
master
,
but
in
some
respects
excelled
him
,
as
many
of
his
works
doe
manifest
,
namely
the
Virgin
Mary
in
the
Church
called
Camp●
Sante
at
Pisa
,
which
to
say
truth
,
excelled
that
of
his
Masters
in
the
Cloister
of
Sant●
Spirit●
in
Florence
.
He
painted
the
transfiguration
of
our
blessed
Sauiour
in
the
Mount
with
Moses
and
Elias
,
where
the
light
was
seene
to
shine
downe
vpon
the
Apostles
,
who
with
such
a
faire
action
lay
so
wrapped
in
their
mantles
that
ye
might
perceiue
all
the
foldings
vpon
the
ioints
,
and
made
the
nakednes
to
shine
through
their
thinne
cloathes
,
which
was
neuer
seene
before
or
vsedby
Giotto
.
In
another
Chappell
he
made
the
fall
of
Luci●er
,
wherein
hee
shewed
many
excellent
foreshortnings
of
bodies
,
armes
,
and
legges
;
wherefore
by
the
Artists
of
his
time
.
He
was
named
Occhi●
di
Natura
,
the
eye
of
nature
,
he
wrought
at
Rome
,
Milane
,
and
many
other
places
:
Many
excellent
pieces
of
his
are
yet
to
bee
seene
in
Florence
,
which
for
breuity
I
omit
the
dyed
Anno
1350.
Petro
Laurati
of
Siena
.
Petro
Laurati
was
famous
in
his
time
,
especially
for
making
of
Glories
,
wherein
he
surpassed
all
others
before
him
.
At
Arezze
with
excellent
skill
hee
painted
vpon
a
●eeling
Angels
dancing
as
in
a
ring
about
Mary
,
seeming
to
sing
and
play
on
instruments
;
where
in
their
eyes
and
countenances
you
may
see
expressed
a
true
godly
ioy
:
another
troope
of
Angels
with
various
and
delicate
action
carrying
her
vp
into
heauen
.
He
dyed
,
1350.
B●namic●
Buffalmacco
.
Buffalmacco
was
scholler
to
Taffi
,
and
as
excellent
in
his
profession
,
so
was
he
merry
and
of
pleasant
conceit
:
wherefore
hee
was
familiar
with
Brun●
and
Calandrin●
,
rare
Artists
and
of
his
owne
humour
,
many
of
whose
iestes
are
recorded
by
Boccace
.
Buffalmacco
being
a
young
youth
while
he
dwelt
with
Taffi
,
was
called
vp
by
his
master
by
two
or
three
of
the
clocke
in
winter
mornings
to
his
worke
,
grinding
of
colours
or
the
like
,
which
grieued
him
much
;
and
bethinking
himselfe
how
to
make
his
master
keepe
his
bed
,
he
got
vp
in
the
fields
some
thirty
or
forty
Dorres
or
Beetles
,
and
a
little
before
his
master
should
rise
,
fastning
little
waxe
candles
vpon
their
backs
,
puts
them
in
lighted
,
one
by
one
into
his
masters
chamber
;
who
seeing
the
lights
moouing
vp
and
downe
,
began
to
quake
for
feare
,
committing
himselfe
to
God
with
hattie
prayer
,
and
couered
himselfe
ouer
head
and
eares
in
his
bed
,
hauing
no
mind
to
worke
or
awake
Buffalmacco
.
In
the
morning
●ee
asked
Buffalmacco
if
hee
had
not
seene
a
thousand
Diuels
as
he
had
;
who
answered
no
,
for
he
was
asleepe
,
and
wondered
he
called
him
not
:
Called
?
saide
Taffi
,
I
had
other
things
to
thinke
of
then
to
paint
,
I
am
fully
resolued
to
goe
dwell
in
another
house
.
The
night
following
though
Buffalmacco
had
put
in
but
onely
three
lights
into
his
chamber
,
yet
could
he
not
sleep
for
feare
al
that
night
:
it
was
no
sooner
day
but
Taffi
,
left
his
house
with
intent
neuer
to
come
into
it
againe
.
Buffalmacco
hereupon
went
to
the
priest
of
the
parish
to
desire
his
aduice
,
telling
him
that
in
his
conscience
the
Diuell
next
vnto
God
hated
none
more
then
painters
,
for
that
,
said
Buffalmacco
,
we
make
him
odious
in
the
peoples
eyes
by
painting
him
terrible
and
in
the
vgliest
shape
we
can
deuise
;
and
more
to
spight
him
,
wee
paint
nothing
but
Saints
in
Churches
to
make
the
people
more
deuout
then
otherwise
they
would
,
wherefore
the
diuels
are
very
angry
with
vs
,
and
hauing
more
power
by
night
then
by
day
,
they
play
these
prankes
,
and
I
feare
they
will
doe
worse
except
we
gine
ouer
this
working
by
candle
light
.
This
he
spake
so
confidently
,
and
in
so
deniure
a
manner
to
the
priest
,
that
the
priest
anouched
it
to
be
true
,
and
with
great
reasons
perswaded
Taffi
euer
after
to
keepe
his
bed
;
which
beeing
published
about
,
working
by
candle-light
was
left
through
the
towne
euer
after
.
The
first
proofe
of
his
skill
he
shewed
at
a
Nunnery
neere
Pisa
now
wholly
ruined
,
being
the
birth
of
Christ
,
where
Herod
killed
the
children
of
Bethlem
;
where
the
affections
and
lookes
of
the
murtherers
,
Mothers
,
Nurses
resisting
with
biting
,
scratching
,
tearing
,
pulling
,
&c.
are
excellently
expressed
.
Moreouer
,
he
drew
the
foure
Patriarkes
,
and
the
foure
Euangelists
,
where
he
expressed
Saint
Luke
with
great
art
,
blowing
the
inke
in
his
pen
to
make
it
runne
.
He
was
in
his
time
one
of
the
merriest
and
finest
companions
of
the
world
:
he
died
,
Anno
1340.
Ambrosio
Lorenzetti
of
Siena

This
Ambrosio
was
a
painter
of
Siena
,
he
was
chiefely
commended
for
that
grace
he
had
in
contrining
postures
and
accidents
of
History
:
he
was
the
first
that
most
liuely
could
resemble
tempests
,
stormes
,
raine
,
&c.
He
was
very
moderate
,
and
went
rather
like
a
Philosopher
then
a
painter
.
He
dyed
at
Siena

Frier
Phillipo
Lippi
.
Phillipo
Lippi
borne
in
Florence
,
was
a
poore
Childe
,
and
left
fatherlesse
and
motherlesse
,
was
brought
vp
by
an
Aunt
;
at
eight
yeares
of
age
,
placed
in
a
Monasterie
of
the
●●cobines
,
where
out
of
his
naturall
inclination
,
he
practised
Drawing
and
Painting
;
and
in
short
time
grew
to
that
excellence
,
that
he
was
admired
of
all
:
making
in
his
Cloyster
many
Histories
in
we●
,
after
Masaccio's
manner
.
At
seuenteene
yeares
of
age
he
forsooke
his
order
.
Being
in
La
Marcad'
Ancona
,
he
put
himselfe
with
some
friends
to
Sea
,
but
were
in
short
time
taken
by
the
Pirats
of
Barbaris
,
and
sold
into
the
Country
for
slaues
,
wearing
heauie
chaines
about
their
legges
.
In
this
estate
liued
Phillipo
eighteene
moneths
,
but
growing
familiar
with
his
Master
,
one
day
,
when
he
saw
his
time
and
his
Master
in
a
good
humour
,
tooke
a
coale
,
and
vpon
a
white
wall
drew
him
from
head
to
foot
:
this
being
seene
of
his
fellow
slaues
,
and
shewed
vnto
his
Master
,
who
had
neuer
seene
a
picture
before
,
was
cause
of
his
deliueance
:
for
making
his
escape
,
or
at
least
his
Master
winking
thereat
,
he
made
shift
to
come
to
Naples
,
where
hee
wrought
in
colours
a
most
curious
Altar-table
for
King
Alphonsus
.
Hence
hee
went
to
Florence
,
and
made
another
Altar-table
,
which
pleased
Cosmo
de
Medicis
wondrous
well
;
whereupon
hee
was
employed
by
Cosmo
in
making
many
small
Pictures
,
whereof
some
were
sent
vnto
Eugenius
the
fourth
,
whereupon
he
grew
in
great
fauour
with
the
Pope
.
He
was
so
addicted
vnto
Women
,
that
what
euer
he
got
,
hee
bestowed
and
spent
it
among
them
:
whereupon
Cosmo
shut
him
vp
into
a
Chamber
in
his
house
,
that
he
might
follow
his
worke
close
;
but
hauing
beene
thus
mewed
vp
by
the
space
of
two
daies
,
the
humou●
of
gadding
tooke
him
againe
in
the
head
;
and
one
euening
cutting
his
sheets
,
made
ropes
of
them
,
and
so
gat
out
at
a
window
.
But
shortly
after
,
found
and
brought
to
Cosmo
againe
,
he
had
libertie
to
go
and
come
at
his
pleasure
,
and
was
better
attended
and
serued
then
before
.
For
said
Cosmo.
The
excellence
of
rare
Spirits
are
heauenly
formes
,
and
no
burden-bearing
Mules
.
Many
excellent
peeces
he
made
in
Florence
,
admired
and
applauded
by
the
best
Masters
.
At
Pr●t●o
by
Florence
,
where
hee
was
acquainted
,
the
Nunnes
of
Sancta
Margarita
procured
him
to
make
their
high
Altar-table
,
where
being
at
worke
,
hee
espied
a
beautifull
virgin
,
a
Citizens
daughter
of
Florence
,
whose
name
was
Francisco
Bati
:
This
maid
was
there
kept
to
be
made
a
Nunne
;
she
was
most
beautifull
,
her
name
was
Lucretia
,
&
so
he
wrought
with
the
Nunnes
,
that
he
obtained
leaue
to
draw
her
Picture
;
but
by
continuall
gazing
vpon
her
countenance
,
he
became
so
enamoured
of
her
,
that
what
by
close
messengers
and
other
meanes
,
he
got
her
out
of
the
Nunnerie
:
he
got
her
away
and
married
her
,
and
by
her
he
had
a
sonne
,
named
also
Phillip
,
who
became
an
excellent
Painter
.
This
Frier
Phillips
workes
are
to
bee
seene

And
amongst
other
S.

layed
out
dead
,
his
brethren
mourning
about
him
,
and
many
Cripples
and
diseased
persons
,
which
(
as
it
was
said
)
with
touching
the
Herse
and
his
body
,
were
healed
.
Then
hee
most
excellently
wrought
the
Martyrdome
of
S.
Stephen
,
the
beheading
of
S.
Iohn
Baptist
,
with
many
others
.
He
died
aged
fiftie
seuen
,
Anno
1438.
Hee
had
a
stately
Monument
of
Marble
erected
ouer
him
;
his
Epitaph
was
written
by
Angelus
Politianus
,

Raphaell
D'Vrbine
.
I
ouerpasse
for
breuitie
sake
,
many
other
excellent
and
famous
Artists
of
Italie
,
equalling
the
former
,
as
Bellino
,
Pallaiuoli
,
Botticello
,
Verrocchio
,
Andreas
Mantegna
of
Mantua
,
so
highly
esteemed
and
honoured
of
Duke
Luduvico
Gonzaga
;
Francesco
Francia
,
Michael
Angelo
:
and
will
comprise
them
in
the
excellencie
of
one
onely
Raphaell
D'Vrbine
,
who
was
borne
at
Vrbine
;
whose
fathers
name
was
Gi●vanni
de
Santi
,
a
Painter
also
.
This
Raphaell
was
brought
vp
vnder
Petro
Perusini
in
Perusia
,
where
he
so
gaue
his
mind
from
a
child
vnto
Drawing
and
Painting
,
that
in
short
time
hee
contended
for
the
Palme
with
the
greatest
Masters
of
Europe
,
and
was
for
his
admirable
inuention
,
sirnamed
the
Wonderfull
.
There
was
a
great
aemulation
betweene
Raphaell
and
the
afore
named
Francesco
Francia
,
who
liued
and
wrought
at
B●logna
,
till
at
the
last
through
meere
admiration
,
by
report
of
each
others
skill
,
they
grew
most
louing
friends
,
greeting
each
either
by
letters
continually
;
yet
had
Francia
neither
seene
Raphaell
Vrbine
,
nor
any
of
his
workes
(
by
reason
he
was
old
and
could
not
trauaile
,
abiding
alwaies
in
Bologna
)
vntill
it
fortuned
that
Raphaell
Vrbine
hauing
made
a
S.
Cicilia
in
a
faire
Altar-table
,
for
the
Cardinall
De
Pucci
Santi
quatro
,
which
was
to
be
set
at
Bologna
,
at
S.
Giovanni
Sopra
Monte
(
or
on
the
Hill
:
)
which
Table
he
shut
in
a
Case
,
and
sent
it
to
Francia
,
as
vnto
a
deare
friend
,
that
if
any
thing
were
amisse
,
or
it
happened
to
be
defaced
or
iniured
in
the
carriage
,
hee
would
amend
it
:
and
beside
,
so
much
befriend
him
,
as
to
set
it
vp
in
the
place
appointed
,
and
to
see
it
want
nothing
fitting
.
When
he
vnderstood
thus
much
by
Raphaels
Letter
,
hee
opened
the
Case
with
great
ioy
,
and
set
the
peece
in
a
good
and
faire
light
;
which
when
he
had
throughly
viewed
,
he
was
so
amazed
,
and
grew
so
out
of
conceipt
of
himselfe
and
his
owne
worke
,
confessing
his
worke
to
be
nothing
,
in
respect
of
Raphaell
Vrbines
:
which
so
strucke
him
to
the
heart
,
that
he
died
(
presently
after
he
had
set
the
peece
in
his
place
)
Anno
1518.
The
fame
of
Raphael
Vibine
at
this
time
was
so
great
,
that
he
was
sought
for
and
employed
by
the
greatest
Princes
of
Europe
,
as
namely
,
the
Popes
Adrian
and
Leo
;
Francis
the
first
,
King
of
France
,
Henry
the
eight
,
King
of
England
;
the
Dukes
of
Florence
,
Vrbane
,
Mantu●
,
and
diuers
others
.
Those
stately
hangings
of

neuer
beheld
more
absolute
Art
,
and
which
long
since
you
might
haue
seene

banquecting
house

were
wholly
of
his
inuention
,
bought
(
if
I
be
not
deceiued
)
by
King
Henrie
the
eight
of
the
State
of
Venice
,
where
Raphaell
Vrbine
dyed
.
I
haue
no
certainty
,

sure
I
am

his

Fame

are
like
to
liue

Of
Armorie
,
or
Blazon
of
Armes
,
with
the
Antiquity
and
Dignitie
of
Heralds
.
IT
is
meete
that
a
Noble
or
Gentleman
who
beareth
Armes
,
and
is
well
descended
,
bee
not
onely
able
to
blazon
his
owne
proper
Coate
;
deriue
by
pedegree
the
descent
of
his
family
from
the
originall
,
know
such
matches
and
allies
as
are
ioyned
to
him
in
blood
:
but
also
of
his
Prince
,
the
Nobilitie
,
and
Gentry
where
he
liueth
,
which
is
not
of
meere
ornament
,
as
the
most
suppose
,
but
diuersly
necessary
and
of
great
consequence
:
as
had
I
fortuned
to
haue
liued
in
those
times
,
when
that
fatall
difference
of
either
ROSE
was
to
be
decided
by
the
sword
;
with
which
partie
in
aequitie
and
conscience
could
I
haue
sided
,
had
I
beene
ignorant
of
the
descent
and
pedegree
Royall
,
and
where
the
right
had
beene
by
inheritance
of
Blood
,
Match
,
or
Alliance
.
How
should
we
giue
Nobilitie
her
true
value
,
respect
,
and
title
,
without
notice
of
her
Merit
:
and
how
may
we
guesse
her
merit
,
without
these
outward
ensignes
and
badges
of
Vertue
,
which
anciently
haue
beene
accounted
sacred
and
precious
;
withall
,
discerne
and
know
an
intruding
vpstart
,
shot
vp
with
the
last
nights
Mushrome
,
from
an
ancient
descended
and
deseruing
Gentleman
,
whose
Grandsires
haue
had
their
share
in
euery
foughten
field
by
the
English
since
Edward
the
first
?
or
my selfe
a
Gentleman
know
mine
owne
ranke
;
there
being
at
this
instant
the
world
ouer
,
such
a
medley
(
I
had
almost
said
Motley
)
of
Coates
,
such
intrusion
by
adding
or
diminishing
into
ancient
families
and
houses
;
that
had
there
not
beene
within
these
few
yeares
,
a
iust
and
commendable
course
taken
by
the
Right
Honorable
the
Earles
Marshals
,
for
the
redresse
of
this
generall
and
vnsufferable
abuse
,
we
should
I
feare
me
within
these
few
yeares
,
see
Yeomen
as
rare
in
England
,
as
they
are
in
France
.
Besides
,
it
is
a
contemplation
full
of
pleasing
varietie
,
and
for
the
most
part
,
sympathizing
with
euery
Noble
and
generous
disposition
,
in
substance
the
most
refined
part
of
Naturall
Philosophie
,
while
it
taketh
the
principles
from
Geometry
,
making
vse
almost
of
euery
seuerall
square
and
angle
.
For
these
and
other
reasons
,
I
desire
that
you
would
bestow
some
houres
in
the
studie
of
the
same
:
for
a
Gentleman
Honorably
descended
,
to
be
vtterly
ignorant
herein
,
argueth
in
him
either
a
disregard
of
his
owne
worth
,
a
weaknesse
of
conceipt
,
or
indisposition
to
Armes
and
Honorable
Action
;
sometime
meere
Ideotisme
,
as
Signeur
Gaulart
,
a
great
man
of
France
(
and
none
of
the
wisest
)
inuiting
on
a
time
many
great
personages
and
honourable
friends
to
his
Table
,
at
the
last
seruice
a
March-pane
was
brought
in
,
which
being
almost
quite
eaten
,
hee
bethought
himselfe
,
and
said
;
It
was
told
mee
,
that
mine
Armes
were
brauely
set
out
in
Gold
and
Colours
vpon
this
March-pane
,
but
I
haue
looked
round
about
it
and
cannot
see
them
:
Your
Lordship
(
said
one
of
his
men
)
eate
them
vp
your selfe
but
now
.
What
a
knaue
(
quoth
Mounsieur
Gaulart
)
art
thou
?
thou
diddest
not
tell
me
before
Ieate
them
,
I
might
haue
seene
what
they
had
beene
.
The
dignitie
and
place
of
an
Herald
,
among
the
ancient
Romans
was
very
great
;
Lib.

that
same
lus
Feciale
,
or
Law
of
Armes
,
being
first
instituted
by
Ancus
Martius
,
as
Liuis
testifieth
,
though
some
ascribe
it
to
Numa
Pompilius
,
who
ordained
a
Colledge
of
Heralds
.
The
office
of
an
Herald
,
was
to
see
that
the
Romanes
Dionysius

made
not
warre
iniustly
with
any
of
their
confederates
;
to
determine
of
warre
,
peace
,
leagues
,
agreements
,
wrongs
taken
or
offered
by
them
or
their
enemies
,
and
the
like
.
Now
if
the
enemy
had
offered
them
wrong
,
or
taken
away
any
thing
from
them
by
violence
,
they
first
sent
Messengers
to
demaund
their
right
,
and
the
restoring
of
that
they
had
taken
away
;
which
was
done
in
a
soleanmne●sorme
,
and
the
words
pronounced
distinctly
,
and
with
a
loud
voyce
:
and
this
manner
of
deliuering
their
message
,
was
called
Clarigatio
.
The
forme
was
this

If
they
refused
their
demaunds
,
or
to
make
●●stiitution
:
first
all
league
and
friendship
(
if
any
were
betwixt
them
)
being
renounced
and
broken
,
after
thirty
daies
,
(
which
they
solemnly
obserued
)
they
proclaimed
open
warre
,
and
with
fire
and
sword
inuaded
the
enemies
Countrey
,
and
by
force
recouered
their
owne
.
Neither
was
it
lawfull
,
for
either
Consull
or
Senate
,
or
any
of
the
common
people
,
to
take
vp
Armes
against
an
enemy
,
without
the
consent
and
approbation
of
the
Heralds
.

The
Tybarens
are
reported
to
haue
beene
so
iust
in
their
making
warre
,
and
defiance
of
their
enemies
,
that
they
would
neuer
meete
them
,
but
first
they
would
send
them
word
of
the
day
,
place
,
yea
,
and
very
houre
they
meant
to
fight
.
Moreouer
,
if
any
complaint
by
the
enemy
were
made
of
breach
of
the
league
,
the
Heralds
examined
the
truth
,
and
hauing
found
out
the
Authours
,
they
deliuered
them
vp
to
the
enemy
to
doe
with
them
as
hee
listed
:

without

of

the

themselues
again
,
by
deliuering
vp
the
Authors
to
their
enemies
.
So
were
the
Consuls
T.

&
Sp.
Postumius
for
their
error
at
Caudium
,
and
making

together
with

deliuered

made
request
that
himselfe
with
the

,
who

)
are

I
purpose
not
heere
to
enter
into
a
large
field
and
absolute
discourse
of
Blazonry
with
all
the
lawes
&
termes
thereof
,
hauing
beene
already
preuented
by
Bara

Master

(

in

with
sundry
others
.
So
that
,
in
a
manner
,
more
cannot
bee
saide
then
hath
beene
:
my selfe
besides
hauing
written
something
of
this
subiect
heretofore
,
but
onely
to
poynt
vnto
you
as
a
stranger
vpon
the

,
the
fairest
and
shortest
cut
vnto
your
iournies

in
this
Art
.
The
word
Blazon
is
from
the
French
E●blasonner
;
and
note
that
we
in
England
vse
herein
the
same
tearmes
of
Art
with
the
French
:
because
the
ancients
of
our
Nobility
for
the
greater
part
,
acknowledge
themselues
to
bee
descended
out
of
Normandy
,
and
to
haue
come
in
with
the
Conquerour
,
many
retaining
their
ancient
French
names
,
&
Charges
vnto
this
day
;
as
Beauchamp
,
Beaumont
,
Sacuill
,

,
with

others
.
Your
A.
B.
C.
in
this
Art
,
let
be
the
knowledge
of
the
sundry
formes
of
Shieldes
or
Escotcheons
which
are
,
and
haue
beene
ordinarily
borne
in
ancient
times
.
Among
all
nations
we
of
Europe
haue
onely
two
kinds
in
vse
(
the
Lozen●s
excepted
)
viz.
that
we
vse
in
England
,
France
,
Germany
,
&c.
and
the
Ouall
they
beare
in
Italy
:
which
forme
they
yet
(
from
the
old
Romanes
)
holde
in
vse
.
The
word
Escotcheon
is
deriued
from
the
French
un
esci●
,
that
from
the
Latine
Scutam
,
and
that
againe
from
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
in

,
which
is
leather
;
because
the
ancients
had
their
Shieldes
of
tanned
leather
,
the
skinnes
laid
thicke
one
ouer
another
,
as
appeareth
by
that
of
Vlysses
,
vpbraiding
Aiax
:
Quae
nisi

Gestasset

And
Caesar
(
saith
Cambrensis
)
fighting

a
British
King

had
his
sword
,
nayled
into
Nennius
his
shield
(
being

,
)
at
which
aduantage
Nennius
had
slaine
him
,
had
not
Labienns
the
Tribune
stepped
in
betweene
,
and
rescued
his

.
Now
the
ancient
shields
by
reason
that
they
were
long
,
and
in
a
manner
of
that
forme
as
some
of
the
Knights
Templers
had
theirs
,
as
appeareth
vpon
that
their
monument
in
the
Temple
Church
,
differed
much
from
the
buckler
or
target
which
was
round
,
as
it
may
appeare
out
of

as
much
to

on

had

they
would
like

sponge
so
soake
in

,
and
become
hereby
so
heauy
,
the
souldiers
could
hardly
beare
them

The
shield
in
times
past
was
had
in
such
honour
,
that
he
who
lost
or
alienated
the
same
,
was
accounted
as
basely
of
as
he
that
with
vs
runnes
from
his
colours
,
and
was
seuerely
punished
:
and
the
Graecians
fined
him
at
a
greater
rate
who
lost
his
shield
,
then
he
who
lost
his
sword
or
speare

Because
that
a
souldier
ought
to
take
more
care
that
he
receiueth
not
a
mischiefe
,
then
he
should
doe
it
of
himselfe
.
Bitter
was
that
iest
of
Scipio
,
when
hee
saw
a
souldier
bestow
great
cost
in
trimming
and
glazing
his
shield
:
I
can
not
blame
thee
(
quoth
he
)
that
thou
bestewest
so
much
cost
vpon
thy
shield
,
because
thou
trustest
more
to
that
then
to
thy
sword
.
The
Lacaeademonians
of

,

brought
vp

whereof
one
was
euer
white
or
yealow
,
which
we
now
tearme
Mettals
,
and
that
of
necessitie
;
for
without
the
mixture
of
one
of
these
,
the
other
as
too
darke
of
themselues
,
could
not
bee
discerned
farre
,
neyther
of
white
and
yealow
onely
,
as
participating
too
much
of
the
light
.
Hence
they
say
(
though
not
generally
true
)
where
there
is
wanting
colour
or
mettal
,
it
is
false
armorie
.
I
will
not
stand
here
to
dispute
ouer
philosophically
,
as
some
haue
done
,
of
the
praeeminence
of
one
colour
aboue
another
,
or
out
of
profound
ignorance
affirme
blacke
to
be
the
most
ancient
colour
,
because
darkenesse
was
vpon
the
face
of
the
earth
in
the
Chaos
;
as
if
colour
were
not
qualitas
visibilis
luminis
beneficio
,
and
privati●
were
formarum
susceptibilis
;
and
white
the
next
,
because
God
said
fiat
Lux
,
as
if
light
were
a
qualitie
resulting
of
an
lementarie
composition
,
it
beeing
created
before
all
mixed
bodies
:
yea
with
Aristotle
I
rather
affirme
blacke
properly
to
be
no
colour
at
all
,
as
partaking
of
the
pure
Elements
nothing
at
all
,
for

of
the
Elements
mingled
together
,
as
earth
,
water
,
aire
,
not
yet
reduced
to
their
proper
substance
,
as
wee
may
see
in

,
all

not
consumed
,

it
is

〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
which
signifieth
dead
,
as
a
colour
proper
to
dead
things
.
The
colours
,
to
say
truth
,
immediately
proceeding
from
the
Elements
,
are
yellow
and
white
:
yellow
beeing
an
effect
of
the
fire
.
and
all
heate
(
as
we
may
see
in
gold
)
begotten
by
the
heate
of
the
Sunne
,
by
the
mixture
of
the
clearest
and
most
pure
quicke-siluer
,
and
the
finest
red
brimstone
,
in
fruite
and
corne
ripened
by
the
heate
of
the

,
in
choller
,
vrine
,
lie
boyled
,
the
bellies
of
hot
venemous
Serpents
and
the
like
.
The
white
is
proper
to
the
water
and
earth
,
as
we
way
see
in
all
watery
bodies
congealed
,
as
Ice
,
Snowe
,
Christall
,
glasse
,
pretious
stones
beaten
into
to
powder
:
also
the
most
rootes
,
the
pulpe
of
apples
,
peares
,
and
the
like
of
watry
substance
,
of
earth
in
the
ashes
of
wood
and
stones
burned
,
all
which
turne
white
,
being
by
the
fire
purged
from
water
and
aire
.
Concerning
the
aire
it selfe
,
it
hath
no
colour
at
all
.
Now
after
your
two
Mettals

yealow

as

Yet
generally
Plinie
saith
,
the
charges
of
their
ensignes
were
of
Siluer
,
because
that
mettall
was
most
sutable
to
the
day
light
,
and
was
to
be
discerned
farther
:
so
Portius
Latro
telleth
Catiline
of
his
siluer
Eagle
borne
before
him
as
the
ensigne
of
his
rebellion
and
furie
.
Besides
the
Eagle
,
the
Romanes
vsed
to
beare
in
their
banners
the
Wolfe
,
Martij
pueri
.
in
memorie
of
Remus
and
Romulus
,
fed
by
the
milke
of
a
shee-wolfe
,
as
Livie
sheweth
.
When
they
vndertooke
any
expedition
wherein
great
secrecy
was
to
be
vsed
,
then
they
aduanced
the
Minotaure
in
their
standards
,
to
shew
that
the
counsaile
of
Commanders
ought
to
be
no
lesse
kept
secret
then
the
Labyrinth
which
was
the
abode
of
the
Minotaure
.
Withall
they
bare
the
Horse
,
as
the
most
Martiall
beast
,
and
seruiceable
in
the
warre
,
being
full
of
furie
,
and
desirous
of
victorie
;
and
in
the
Ides
of
December
,
a
Horse
was
sacrificed
to
him
who
had
broken
the
right
wing
of
his
enemies
battaile
:
Lastly
,
they
bare
a
Hogge
in
their
ensignes
,
because
the
warre
being
finished
,
they
vsed
to
make
a
truce
by
sacrificing
a
young
Swine
;
which
whosoeuer
violated
or
went
backe
from
,
ought
forth
with
as
a
Hogge
to
be
stoned
to
death
:
hereupon
they
had
a

they
tearmed

The
Auncestors
of
this
Noble
family
were
Frenchmen
borne
,
taking
their
Surname
of
a
Towne
in

called
Sackuill
,
whereof
they
were
Lords
,
and
came
into
England
,
to
the
aide
of
Duke
William
the
Conquerour
,
as
appeareth
by
an
auncient
Manuscript

of
Brittaine
,
now
in
the
Custody
of
Mr.
Edward
Gwinn

where
he
is
called
a

,
and
is
the
seauenth

ranked
in
a
Catalogue

;
for
as
it
may
be
obserued
out
of
Mr.

Remaines
,
that
the
better

about
the

of

began
to

againe
they
were
not
setled

vntill
the

He
moreouer
affirmeth
,
that
the
most
ancient

,
were
deriued
from
places
,
whereof
this
name
of
Sackuill
is
one
,

to

yet
more
vnto
it
,

himselfe

in

was

Casar
vsed
the

so
much
,

became
so
actiue

skilfull

that
laying

he

put

exercised
himselfe

for

that

were
nothing
inferiour
vnto
them
in

,
appointed
a

when

should

encounter
eyther
brauely

who
,
saith

so
brauely
carryed
himselfe

that
he
vnhorsed

knew
neither
where

nor
how
to

,
by

Thereupon
he
sent
his

who
beeing
by
Sextorius
ouerthrowne
at

,
escaped
very
narrowly

swam
with

into

as
much

as
desperate
was
the
attempt

leaping

a

who
came
with

had
made

an

cast
himselfe
into

swam
safe

Caesar
and
his
fleete

Neither
is
it
to
be
wondred
at
,
that
the
Romanes
were
so
skilfull
in
swimming
:
for
they
were
daily
exercised
in
the
same
after
their
other
exercises
,
and
had
a
place
in
the
Riuer
of

appointed
vnto
them

adioyning
to
the

;

great

rough

full
of

to
exercise
their
horses
in

Shooting
also
is
a
very
healthfull
and
commendable
recreation
for
a
Gentleman
;
Of
shooting
.
neither
doe
I
know
any
other
comparable
vnto
it
for
stirring
euery
part
of
the
body
:
for
it
openeth
the
breast
and
pipes
,
exerciseth
the
armes
and
feet
,
with
lesse
violence
,
then
running
,
leaping
,
&c.
Herein
was
the
Emperour
Domitian
so
cunning
,
that
let
a
Boy
a
good
distance
off
hold
vp
his
hand
,
&
stretch
his
fingers
abroad
,
he
would
shoote
through
the
spaces
without
touching
the
Boyes
hand
,
or
any
finger
.
And
Commodus
(
saith
Herodian
)
had
so
good
an
aime
,
that
he
would
fixe
on
the
brow
of
a
Deere
two
shafts
as
euenly
,
and
spreading
in
distance
,
as
if
they
had
beene
his
owne
hornes
.
But
for
the
further
excellence
and
vse
of
this
exercise
,
I
referre
you
to
that
excellent
booke
of
M.
Aschams
,
intituled
Toxophilus
,
wherein
you
shall
finde
whatsoeuer
is

to

Hawking
and
Hunting
are
recreations
very
commendable
and
befitting
a
Noble
or
Gentleman
to
exercise
;
Hunting
especially
,
which
Xenophon
commendeth
to
his
Cyrus
,
calling
it
a
gift
of
the
Gods
,
bestowed
first
vpon
Chiron
for
his
vprightnesse
in
doing
Iustice
,
and
by
him
taught
vnto
the
old
Heroës
and
Princes
;
by
whose
vertue
and
prowesse
(
as
enabled
by
this
exercise
)
their
Countries
were
defended
,
their
subiects
and
innocents
preserued
,
Iustice
maintained
.
For
there
is
no
one
exercise
that
enableth
the
body
more
for
the
warre
,
then
Hunting
,
by
teaching
you
to
endure
heate
,
cold
,
hunger
,
thirst
;
to
rise
early
,
watch
late
,
lie
and
fare
hardly
:
and
Eusebius
is
of
opinion
,
that
wilde
beasts
were
of
purpose
created
by
God
,
that
men
by
chasing
and
encountring
them
,
might
be
fitted
and
enabled
for
warlike
exercises
.
Heereupon
Alexander
,
Cyrus
,
and
the
old
Kings
of
Persia
,
employed
themselues
exceeding
much
herein
,
not
to
purchase
Venison
and
purucy
for
the
belly
,
but
to
maintaine
their
strength
,
and
preserue
their
health
,
by
encreasing
and
stirring
vp
the
naturall
heate
within
,
which
sloth
and
sitting
still
wasts
and
decaies
:
To
harden
the
bodies
by
labour
against
the
enemy
;
and
withall
,
to
search
out
the
Natures
of
wilde
beasts
,
which
knowne
,
they
might
leaue
the
same

to
their
posteritie

no

a

vpon
Nobilitie
then
euenesse
of
Carriage
and
care
of

,
without
which
our
most
gracefull

are
dead
and
dull
,
as

for
hereupon

of

,
and
hereby
the
heigth
of
our
Iudgements
(
euen
our selues

is
taken
;
according
to
that
of
the
wiseman
,
Ecclesiastic
.
By
gate
,
laughter
,
and
apparrell
,
a
man
is
knowne
what
he
is
.
Wherefore
I
call
it
the
crowne
of
good
parts
,
and
loadstone
of

.
The
principall
meanes
to
preserue

is
Temperance
and
that
Moderation
of
the
minde
,
wherewith
as
a
bridle
wee
curbe

and
vnruly
Passions
,
keeping
as

Caspian

euer

without

or

And
albeit
true
it
is
that
Galen
saith
,
we
are
commonly
beholden
for
the
disposition
of
our
minds
,
to
the
Temperature
of
our

,
yet
much
lyeth
in
our
power
to
keepe
that
fount
from
empoisoning
,
by
taking
heede
to
our selues
;
and
as
good
Cardinall
Poole
once
said
,
to
correct
the
malignitie
of
our

.
For
certainly
vnder

it

For
Moderation

I

the

of
God
in

,
without
which
(
hee
euer

striking

our

are
depraued
,
and
left
to
our selues
we
are
not
able
to
giue
any

his
true
esteeme
and
value
.
Therefore
first
to
be
truly
Honest
is
to
bee
truly
Religious
,
for
if
the
feare
of
men
be
a
great
motiue
to
keepe
our selues
within
compasse
,
much
more
will
the
Feare
of
God
,
recall
vs
from
our
lusts
and
intemperance
.

wisely

our

and
a

our

are
subiect

learne
not

,
or
boastingly
to
lay

so
rich

so
hereby
learne

and
in

to

yet
when
reason
requireth
can
be
royally
bountifull

a
vertue
as
requisite
in
a
Noble

Gentleman
,
as
the
care
of
his
whole
Estate
,
and
preseruation
of
his
name
and
posterity
;
yet
as
greatly
wanting
in
many
,
as
they
come
short
of
the

entire

of
their

who
account

the

too

they
impose

First
then
assoone
as
you
shall
be
able
,
looke
into
your

labouring
not
onely
to
conserue
it
entire
,

to
augment
it

M.

Dowland
,
in
regard
hee
had
slipt
many
opportunities
in
aduancing
his
fortunes
,
and
a
rare
Lut●nist
as
any
of
our
Nation
,
beside
one
of
our
greatest
Masters
of
Musicke
for
composing
:
I
gaue
him
an
Embleme
with
this
;
-
IOANNES
DOVLANDVS
.
-
Annos
Iudendo
hausi
.
There
were
at
one
time
in
Rome
very
wittie
and
vnhappy
libels
cast
forth
vpon
the
whole
Consistory
of
Cardinals
in
the
nature
of
Emblemes
.
I
remember
Cardinal
Farnesi
had
for
his
part
a
storke
deuouring
a
frogge
,
with
this
,
Mordeo
non
morde●tes
.
Bellarmine
a
Tiger
fast
chained
to
a
post
,
in
a
scroule
proceeding
from
the
beasts
mouth
in
Italian
:
Da
mi
mia
libertà
,
vederete
chi
io
Sono
:
that
is
,
giue
me
my
Libertie
,
you
shall
see
what
I
am
,
meaning
perhaps
he
would
be
no
longer
,
&c.
And
those
were
very
knauish
that
were
throwne
vp
and
downe
the
Court
of
France
,
the
Escotcheon
or
Armes
of
the
partie
on
the
one
side
of
a
pastboard
,
and
some
ingenious
deuice
on
the
other
;
as
one
had
the
Armes
of
the
house
of
di
Medici
of
Florence
,
on
the
one
side
,
on
the
other
an
inkhorne
with
the
mouth
turned
downward
,
with
this
tart
Pasquil
:
Elle
faut
d'encre
:
and
so
of
the
whole
Court
.
Emblemes
and
Impresa's
if
ingeniously
conceipted
,
are
of
daintie
deuice
and
much
esteeme
.
The
Inuention
of
the
Italian
herein
is
very
singular
,
neither
doe
our
English
wits
come
much
behind
them
,
but
rather
equall
them
euery
way
.
The
best
that
I
haue
seene
,
haue
beene
the
deuises
of
Ti●tings
,
whereof
many
are
reserued
in
the
priuate
Gallery
at
White
Hall
,
of
Sr.
Phillip
Sidn●ie's
,
the
Earle
of
Cumberland
,
Sr.
Henry
Leigh
,
the
late
Earle
of
Essex
,
with
many
others
,
most
of
which
I
once
collected
with
intent
to
publish
them
,
but
the
charge
disswaded
me
.
But
aboue
all
,
in
your
talke
and
discourse
haue
a
care
euer
to
speake
the
truth
,
remembring
there
is
nothing
that
can
more
preiudice
your
esteeme
then
to
be
lauishtongued
in
speaking
that
which
is
false
,
and
disgracefully
of
others
in
their
absence
.
The
Persians
and
Indians
had
a
law
,
that
whosoeuer
had
beene
thrice
conuicted
of
speaking
vntruth
,
should
vpon
paine
of
death
neuer
speake
word
all
his
life
after
.
Cato
would
suffer
no
man
to
bee
praised
or
dispraised
,
Plato
saith
,
it
is
onely
allowed
,
Physitions
to
lie
for
the
comfort
of
the
sicke
.
but
vsed
alwaies
such
discourse
as
was
profitable
to
the
hearers
;
for
as
one
saith
,
Dict●ria
minuum
Maiestatem

Iestes
and
scoffes
doe
lessen
Mai●stie

CHAP.
16.
Of
Trauaile
.
I
Will
conclude
with
Trauaile
,
which
many
disallow
in
Gentlemen
,
yea
and
some
great
trauellers
themselues
;
but
mee
thinkes
they
are
as
one
who
hath
filled
his
owne
belly
,
and
denieth
the
dish
to
his
fellow
.
In
my
opinion
nothing
rectifieth
and
confirmeth
more
the
iudgment
of
a
Gentleman
in
forteine
affaires
,
teacheth
him
knowledge
of
himselfe
,
and
setleth
his
affection
more
sure
to
his
owne
Country
,
then
Trauaile
doth
:
for
if
it
be
the
common
Law
of
Nature
,
D●●●ys
.
Halicarna●●
.
that
the
learned
should
haue
rule
ouer
and
instruct
the
ignorant
,
the
experienced
,
the
vnexperienced
,
what
concerneth
more
Nobility
,
taking
place
aboue
other
,
then
to
be
learned
and
wise
?
and
where
may
wisedome
be
had
,
but
from
many
men
,
and
in
many
places
?
Hereupon
we
find
the
most
eminent
and
wise
men
of
the
world
to
haue
beene
the
greatest
Trauailers
(
to
omit
the
Patriarches
and
Apostles
themselues
in
holy
writ
)
as
Plato
,
Pythagoras
,
Aristotle
,
Theophrastus
,
Osyris
King
of
Aegypt
,
who
trauelled
a
great
part
of
the
world
,
and
caused
to
be
engrauen
vpon
his
Sepulcher
,
D●●●er
.

Heere
vnder
I
lie
King
Osyris
,
eldest
sonne
of
Saturne
,
who
haue
left
no
part
of
the
world
vnsearched
,
whitherto
I
haue
not
come
,
teaching
againe
whatsoeuer
I
haue
found
,
for
the
vse
and
commoditie
of
mankinde
.
And
Xenophon
to
intimate
vnto
vs
the
benefit
and
excellent
vse
of
Trauaile
,
saith
that
Cambyses
,
by
his
trauaile
learned
many
excellent
things
,
which
he
taught
Cyrus
his
sonne
:
and
hauing
trauailed
as
farre
as
Mero●
(
as
a
perpetuall
monument
of
his
long
voyage
)
he
built
a
Citie
in
the
forme
of
a
Persian
shield
.
And
it
was
the
vsuall
boast
of
Alexander
(
said
Archelaus
a
Cosmographer
)
that
he
had
found
out
more
with
his
eies
,
Di●g
L●ers
.
lib.

in
vita
Arthel
.
then
other
Kings
were
able
to
comprehend
in
thought
:
and
to
no
small
commendation
of
himselfe
,
Menelaus
in
Homer
,
reporteth
that
hee
had
beene
in
Aegypt
,
Cyprus
,
Phoenicia
,
and
seene
Thebes
hauing
an
hundred
gates
,
and
at
euery
gate
two
hundred
horse-men
for
the
guard
.
But
say
some
,
few
of
our
Gentlemen
are
bettered
by
their
trauaile
,
but
rather
returne
home
worse
then
they
went
in
manners
,
and
many
times
in
Religion
,
therefore
it
were
better
they
●arried
still
at
home
,
according
to
Clandian
:
Fulix
qui
patrijs
avum
transegit
in
agris
,
Ipsa
domus
puerum
quem
vid●t
ipsa
senem
:
Qui
bacule
nit●●s
,
in
qua
repta●it
arena
,
Vni●●
numerat
Sacula
longa
casa
.
Hee
's
blest
who
in
's
owne
Countrie
ends
his
daies
,
Whose
homestead
see
's
his
old
age
and
his
birth
,
&c.
But
this
happinesse
is
but
pu●rorum
bea●●tude
,
as
one
saith
;
and
the
greatest
vnhappinesse
to
the
truly
generous
and
industrious
minde
.
If
therefore
you
intend
to
trauell
,
you
must
first
propound
vnto
your selfe
;
the
End
,
which
either
is
ad
v●luptatem
vel
ad
vtilitatem
,
pleasure
or
profit
.
For
the
first
,
euery
one
naturally
affecteth
,
and
the
foole
himselfe
is
tickled
with
the
sight
of
strange
townes
,
towers
and
habits
of
people
.
Therefore
you
must
hold
you
to
the
other
which
is
profit
,
which
againe
hath
two
branches
,
your
owne
priuate
,
or
the
publique
;
your
priuate
,
as
the
recouery
of
your
health
,
by
some
outlandish
meanes
,
as
the
water
of
the
Spaw
,
some
Phisitian
,
famous
for
his
cure
in
such
&
such
kinds
,
change
of
aire
,
or
gaining
as
a
Merchant
by
trasique
,
or
some
profession
wherein
you
excell
others
.
The
publique
is
the
generall
good
of
your
Countrey
,
for
which
we
are
all
borne
,
it
challenging
a
third
part
of
vs
.
But
before
you
trauaile
into
a
strange
Countrey
,
I
wish
you
(
as
I
haue
heretofore
said
)
to
be
well
acquainted
with
your
owne
;
for
I
know
it
by
experience
,
that
many
of
our
yong
gallants
,
haue
gone
ouer
with
an
intent
to
passe
by
nothing
vnseene
,
or
what
might
bee
knowne
in
other
places
;
when
they
haue
beene
most
ignorant
here
in
their
owne
natiue
countrey
,
and
strangers
to
their
iust
reproofe
could
discourse
,
and
say
more
of
England
then
they
.
In
your
passage
,
I
must
giue
you
in
either
hand
a
light
,
Preseruation
,
and
Obseruation
.
Preseruation
of
your
minde
,
from
Errors
,
and
ill
manners
;
of
your
bodie
from
distemperature
,
either
by
ouer
eating
,
drinking
,
violent
or
venereal
exercise
.
For
there
is
not
any
nation
in
the
world
more
subiect
vnto
surfets
then
our
English
are
,
whether
it
proceedeth
from
the
Constitution
of
our
bodies
,
ill
agreeing
with
the
hotter
climates
,
or
the
exchange
of
our
wholsome
diet
and
plentie
,
for
little
and
ill
drest
;
or
the
greedinesse
of
their
fruits
and
hotte
wines
,
wherewith
onely
wee
are
sometime
constrained
to
fill
our
bellies
,
I
am
not
certaine
.
No
lesse
perill
there
is
,
Lipsiu●
.
ab

Soli●●●liabus
,
which
almost
in
euery
place
will
offer
themselues
,
or
be
put
vpon
you
by
others
.
Keepe
the
fountaine
of
your
minde
from
being
empoisoned
,
especially
by
those
Serpents
,
Error
and
Atheisme
,
which
you
shall
finde
lurking
vnder
the
fairest
flowers
:
and
though
you
heare
the
discourses
of
all
,
and
listen
to
the
charmes
of
some
,
discouer
your
Religion
or
minde

none
,

resembling

giddinesse
,
the
greatest
punishment
that
God
laied
vpon
him
.
Before
you
enter
into
Obseruation
,
first
seeke
the
language
that
you
may
be
fit
for
conference
,
and
where
the
language
is
best
spoken
there
settle
,
and
furnish
your selfe
with
the
discreetest
and
most
able
Masters
.
For
as
heere
in
England
,
so
in
other
places
,
the
language
is
spoken
with
more
elegancie
and
puritie
in
some
places
more
then
others
.
For
the
French
,
Orleans
and
thereabouts
is
esteemed
the
best
.
Florence
for
the
Italian
,
Lipsick
for
the
high
Dutch
,
and
Valledolid
for
the
Spanish
.
To
helpe
you
in
coniugating
your
verbes
,
you
may
vse
the
helpe
a
while
of
a
Grammer
of
that
language
,
but
in
generall
you
must
expect
your
perfection
from
conference
;
for
hereby
the
true
accent
,
and
the
natiue
grace
of
pronunciation
(
which
no
booke
can
teach
)
is
onely
attained
.
Now
aswell
for
neighbourhood
sake
,
as
that
the
French
tongue
is
chiefely
affected
among
our
Nobility
,
it
being
a
copious
and
a
sweete
language
,
wherein
so
many
famous
workes
by
as
great
wits
as
any
euer
Europe
bred
,
haue
beene
published
:
I
wish
you
first
of
all
to
see
France
,
being
seated
vnder
a
temperate
and
most
wholesome
climate
,
and
shall
not
endanger
your
health
so
much
,
as
being
sent
vpon
the
suddaine
from
a
colde
Countrey
,
into
the
scorching
heate
of
another
more
remote
.
I
will
not
stand
to
make
any
Topographicall
description
of
the
Countrey

since
by
a
faithfull
pen
;
beside
I
remember
I
am
to
write
onely
one
Chapter
,
not
a
volume
.
You
shall
finde
the
French
,
I
meane
of
the
noblest
and
better
sort
,
generally
free
and
curteous
,
vnto
whom
euen
among
their
Princes
,
State
and
Maiesticque
retirednesse
are
burthensome
,
so
that
sometime
you
shall
see
them
familiar
with
the

altereth
.
Their
exercises
are
for
the
most
part
Tennise
play
,
Pallemaile
,
shooting
in
the
Crosse-bow
or
Peece
,
and
Dancing
.
Concerning
their
dyet
,
it
is
nothing
so
good
or
plentifull
as
ours
,
they
contenting
themselues
many
times
with
meane
viandes●
onely
in
the
solemne
feasts
,
and
banquets
of
entertainment
,
they
are
bountifull
enough
,
yea
farre
exceede
vs
:
as
for
the
poore
paisant
,
he
is
faine
oftentimes
to
make
vp
his
meale
with
a
mushrome
,
or
his
grenoilles
(
in
English
frogs
,
)
the
which
are
in
Paris
and
many
other
places
commonly
sold
in
the
market
.
Concerning
their
building
,
is
it
very
magnificent
and
I
know
not
whether
in
all
Europe
,
any
buildings
may
for
Maiesty
and
State
be
compared
with
those
of
France
,
(
though
they
haue
beene
miserably
spoiled
by
the
last
ciuill
wars
)
they
being
the
best
Architects
of
the
world
;
vpon
the
view
of
some
of
which
(
as
breathing
on
a
faire
hill
)
I
will
detaine
you
a
while
.
And
first
wee
will
begin
with
the
Lovure
The
Lovure
.
in
Paris
.
The
Lovure
is
the
royall
seate
of
the
kings
of
France
,
famous
throughout
all
Europe
,
situate
neere
to
the
towne
walles
on
the
West
side
:
by
which
ru●neth
the
riuer
of
Se●●e
,
which
in
old
time
serued
rather
for
a
fortresse
then
a
Kings
house
,
and
herein
was
a
tower
wherein
were
kept
the
king●
reuenues
and
treasure
.
Which
after
by
King
Francis
the
first
,
was
pulled
downe
,
and
in
this
place
was
begun
the
building
of
the
front
,
which
is
of
Masonry
,
so
enriched
with
pillars
,
frizes
,
architr●●es
and
all
sort
of
architecture
with
such
excellent
symmetry
and
beauty
,
that
throughout
all
Europe
,
you
shall
hardly
finde
the
like
.
It
was
begunne
by
Francis
the
first
,
finished
by
Henry
his
sonne
,
vnder
the
appointment
of
the
Lord
of
Clagny
,
and
afterwards
encreased
by
Francis
the
second
,
Charles
the
9.
Last
of
all
made
the
wonder
of
all
other
workes
by
that
beautifull
Gallery
,
the
worke
of
Henry
the
4.
The
Tuilleries
The
Tuilleries
sometime
belonged
to
the
Suburbes
of
Saint
Honorè
in
Paris
,
by
the
side
of
the
Lovure
,
and
was
indeed
a
place
wherein
they
made
tiles
,
and
by
reason
there
were
many
faire
Gardens
about
it
,
the
Queene
mother
drawing
the
plot
her selfe
,
seeing
it
a
pleasant
and
fit
place
,
began
first
to
build
here
.
It
is
a
roiall
worke
all
of
free
stone
.
The
portall
or
entrance
is
very
stately
of
marble
pillars
and
Iasper

is
scituate
in
the
forrest
of
Biere
,
in
a
plaine
encompassed
with
great
woods
,
and
was
in
olde
time
a
retiring
place
for
the
kings
of
France
.
Francis
the
first
,
who
loued
to
build
,
tooke
great
pleasure
in
this
seate
and
builded
here
the
house
,
as
we
see
it
at
this
present
;
the
base
Court
hereof
is
esteemed
the
fairest
of
all
Franc●●
in
the
second
Court
there
is
the
purest
and
fairest
fountaine
esteemed
in
the
world
,
wherefore
it
was
called
Bell●●au●
,
and
so
Fontaine
Belle
〈◊〉
.
R.
Francis
loued
this
place
so
well
,
that
he
spent
most
of
his
time
here
,
beautifying
it
while
hee
liued
with
all
sorts
of
commodities
,
goodly
galleries
,
Sto●es
,
&c.
and
caused
the
r●rest
Masters
of
Europ●
in
painting
tobe
sent
for
,
for
the
beautifying
it
with
all
manner
of
Histories
.
Also
heere
he
placed
the
rarest
Antiquities
he
could
get
.
In
briefe
,
whatsoeuer
he
could
wrap
or
wring
,
he
thought
too
little
for
this
place
;
it
is
about
1.
4.

from
Paris

Going

foure
rowes
of

at

12.

this
is
rather
remarkeable
for
the

then
the
beauty

The

it
is
scituate
within
one
league
of
Paris
,
and
two
of
Saint

the
place
of
buriall
of
the
French
Kings
,
so
that
these
three
stand
in
a
manner
in
a
triangle

It
is
a
very
sumptuous
worke
and
of
admirable

:
it
was
begun
by
Charles
Countie
of
Valeis
,
brother
to
Philiy
the
faire

and
finished
a
good
while
after
by

This
house
hath
many
faire

withall
about
it
a
Parke

containing
in

16

at
the
village

(
so
called
of

neere
Chare●●●●●
fall
downe
vnto
Paris
.
This
in
ancient
times
was
the
vsuall
Court
and
abode
of
the
French
Kings
,
but
now
little
freequented
,
and
falling
in
a
manner
to
ruine
.
But
I
omit
farther
to
speake
as
well
of
the
Royall
houses
,
and
those
of
the
Noblesse
,
being
indeed
the
beauty
of
France
.
Whereof
there
are
many
other
,
as
S.
Ma●●
,
Chen●ncean
,
Chamb●●rg
,
Boul●gu●
,
Creil
,
Coussie
,
Folembray
,
Montargis
,
S.
Germain
and
la
Mu●tl●
,
which
are
all
the
Kings
houses
and
worthy
your
view
and
regard
,
if
you
happen
to
finde
them
in
your
way
.
In
briefe
hold
France
for
one
of
the
most
rich
,
fertilest
,
and
brauest
Kingdomes
of
the
World
.
And
since
Spaine
Of
Spaine
.
and
France
,
are
but
one
Continent
,
let
vs
passe
the
Pyrenean
hils
,
and
take
some
obseruations
there
.
Spaine
lyeth
Southerly
from
France
,
in
Northerne
latitude
from
37.
to
44.
degrees
or
there
about
,
in
the
same
heigth
and
paralell
with
the
Azores
Ilands
.
It
is
farre
hotter
then
Fra●●e
,
a
very
dry
Country
,
yet
abounding
in
sweet
Springs
,
Riuers
,
and
all
sorts
of
fruites
.
Pasture
there
is
little
or
none
in
respect
of
the
great
heat
,
but
infinitely
furnished
with
Vineyards
,
Oliue
trees
,
hauing
Corne
sufficient
saue
onely
in
the
skirts
of
the
Country
,
which
are
mountainous
,
hilly
and
barren
,
yet
abounding
in
Goates
and
other
Cattell
.
For
victuals
you
shall
finde
it
very
scarce
,
not
that
the
Counttey
affordeth
not
a
sufficiency
,
but
that
the
people
beingby
constitution
,
hot
&
dry
,
are
not
able
to
digest
heauy
and
more
solid
meat
,
like
vnto
ours
;
but
rather
chuse
Fruits
,
Sallets
and
sweet
meates
,
as
Mermalade
,
by
them
called
Membrillada
(
for
membrill●
is
a
Quince
)
and
conserues
of
all
sorts
,
for
coolenesse
and
lightnesse
of
digestion
.
The
people
are
by
nature
generally
proud
and
haughty
,
but
withall
very
ciuill
,
faithfull
to
their
friend
,
and
aboue
all
to
their
Prince
,
for
seldome
or
neuer
haue
any
of
that
Nation
bin
known
to
haue
bin
Traitors
:
their
souldiers
are
infatigable
,
resolute
,
and
obedient
vnto
their
Commanders
,
but
withall
lasciuiously
giuen
,
and
too
cruell
in
victory
.
The
Gentry
affect
not
the
Countrey
,
but
desire
to
liue
in
walled
Townes
altogether
,
where
they
dedicate
themselues
either
to
some
imployment
of
State
,
or
businesse
of
Warre
,
saue
such
who
are
of
the
better
sort
,
dedicated
to
the
Church
,
of
whom
there
is
at
the
least
a
third
part
.
Their
habite
in
apparell
is
all
one
for
colour
and
fashion
,
which
hardly
makes
a
distinction
of
parties
;
onely
they
are
discerned
by
their
seruants
(
in
whom
they
obserue
an
excellent
equipage
)
their
regelado
horses
,
Ca●oches
and
horselitters
.
The
women
are
blacke
,
and
little
,
but
very
well
fauoured
,
and
for
discourse
admirable
:
these
haue
a
more
eminent
distinction
of
habit
,
and
are
all
discerned
by
their
apparell
of
what
qualitie
they
are
,
they
affect
strangers
much
,
and
are
liberall
in
their
conuerse
with
them
.
The
heart
of
the
Countrey
is
very
scarce
of
fish
,
that
which
they
haue
,
are
either
Tons
or
Pilchards
,
brought
salted
from
Biscay
,
on
the
one
side
,
and
from
Valencia
on
the
other
:
Yea
,
the
Church
for
want
of
fish
is
faine
to
giue
a
licence
to
eate
the
entrailes
of
beasts
vpon
fasting
dayes
.
All
their
meate
,
fruits
and
bred
are
sold
by
the
pound
,
and
not
except
before
an
Officer
which
they
call
Alcalda
,
so
that
no
stranger
can
be
dec●iued
either
in
waight
or
price
.
They
treade
their
Corne
out
with
Oxen
in
the
fielde
assoone
as
it
is
reaped
,
their
Mules
and
horses
eating
the
Straw
with
Barley
,
for
Oates
they
are
not
so
well
acquainted
with
.
It
is
a
Countrey
for
Trauaile
very
combersome
in
respect
of
lodging
and
dyet
,
except
when
you
come
into
the
walled
Townes
,
where
you
shall
according
to
their
manner
be
accommodated
well
enough
.
They
trauaile
all
on
Mules
,
keeping
their
Horses
for
beautie
and
shew
,
putting
them
to
no
vse
,
saue
onely
to
be
led
vp
and
downe
.
Their
Coines
are
the
best
of
Europe
,
●ince
all
their
neighbours
make
a
gaine
of
them
,
as
a
peece
of
eight
reals
(
or
sixe
pence
of
our
money
)
goeth
in
France
for
foure
shillings
&
sixe
pence
:
a
doublon
in
gold
,
that
which
is
a
Pistolet
with
them
,
being
thirteene
shillings
,
is
in
France
and
other
places
29.
reals
,
which
is
14.
s.
6.
pence
of
our
money
.
Most
of
the
Coine
that
passeth
for
ordina●y
and
triuiall
things
,
as
Wine
,
Bread
,
Melons
,
Peaches
,
is
of
Brasse
,
which
they
cal
Quartas
and
Quartillias
.
Of
their
Marauedies
,
twenty
make
three
pence
.
Their
buildings
are
faire
and
stately
,
and
the
King
,
though
hee
hath
many
goodly
houses
&
palaces
,
as
in
Siuill
.
Granado
,
Toledo
,
Cordo●a
,
Valladolid
,
&c.
yet
the
Esc●rial
,
seuen
leagues
from
Madrid
,
is
the
place
where
the
King
most
resides
,
and
this
exceedes
all
the
buildings
of
Christendome
,
for
beauty
and
curiosity
in
contriuing
,
to
which
i●
adioyned
one
of
the
goodliest
Monasteries
of
the
world
,
wherein
are
to
be
seene
the
rarest
Water-workes
that
men
can
deuise
.
Spaine
being
diuided
into
many
Kingdomes
or
Prouinces
,
you
are
allowed
to
carry
about
you
,
onely
but
an
hundred
reals
;
what
you
haue
aboue
it
is
forfeited
,
and
for
that
purpose
,
at
euery
bridge
or
passage
where
the
Countries
part
,
you
are
to
be
searched
.
And
I
hope
you
haue
heard
so
much
of
the
Inquisition
and
the
danger
thereof
,
that
I
shall
not
here
need
to
giue
you
any
caueat

that

Aragon
aboundeth
in

wanteth
,
that
all

but
they
are
faine
to
haue
it
of
the
Bretaigners
,
Hollanders
,
and
from
the
Azores
Ilands
.
Last
of
all
it
is
worthy
the
noting
,
how
that
in
their
Vniuersities
,
as
Salamanca
,
Alcala
,
C●nimbra
,
&c.
and
other
of
their
Colledges
,
they
care
little
for
the
Latine
,
but
dispute
and
keepe
their
exercises
in
Spanish
or
the
Portugueze
tongue
,
yet
haue
they
great
Schollers
in
all
professions
.
Thus
haue
I
onely
giuen
you
a
taste
how
and
what
,
especially
to
obserue
in
your
trauaile
.
I
willingly
omit
to
