Englands
Securitie
.
Question
.
SIr
,
whereas
at
our
last
parting
at
Richmond
house
very
early
,
and
in
the
very
same
morning
wherein
the
late
Maiestie
of
England
made
progression
through
Tudyrs
royall
name
,
before
any
Successor
yet
apparent
or
proclaymed
,
you
,
excusing
your selfe
with
the
times
distraction
,
the
feare
of
eruption
,
your
duty
and
security
to
repaire
at
such
times
to
your
owne
home
,
(
thinking
nothing
Disaster
that
you
suffer
vnder
your
owne
starre
,
no
stroake
too
violent
for
your
natiue
country
)
promised
after
that
confused
Matachime
,
recouered
into
his
wonted
harmony
,
such
as
crownes
this
day
,
with
full
consent
,
to
describe
vnto
mee
the
Distractions
precedent
to
her
death
,
which
did
informe
each
estate
so
plentifully
,
as
might
supply
euen
all
the
vses
of
obseruation
.
I
desire
you
to
be
so
feeling
of
these
times
felicitie
,
Vbi
quid
censeat
,
&c.
as
shall
suffice
for
the
liberty
of
your
speech
,
and
the
freedome
of
your
promise
.
Answ.
Good
Sir
,
I
confesse
to
haue
libertie
of
modest
speaking
,
whereby
is
offered
an
expedition
from
my
promise
is
the
chiefest
felicitie
in
my
wishes
,
and
to
proportion
out
the
broken
numbers
of
those
latter
times
with
our
mutuall
comments
and
collections
might
somewhat
confirme
vs
towards
futurity
:
It
onely
detaines
mee
before
I
enter
into
the
discourse
thereof
to
be
so
curious
ouer
your
expectation
,
for
you
seeme
prepared
vnto
me
as
to
challenge
conditions
of
your
gentlenes
and
humanity
,
both
of
hearing
and
censuring
me
,
as
one
forced
to
be
diuided
into
so
many
and
such
the
formes
of
this
subiect
for
the
lifer
description
thereof
,
as
may
with
a
little
helpe
of
wit
be
fashioned
and
fitted
with
some
peculiar
,
the
like
behauiour
,
though
much
dissonant
from
my
meaning
,
without
giuing
the
Character
,
or
presuming
your
wit
.
For
betweene
the
height
of
my
soules
contemplation
,
and
the
earth
of
my
affections
,
there
is
a
Commonweale
so
populous
,
of
whatsoeuer
condition
,
that
in
describing
all
men
,
I
discourse
but
my selfe
vnto
you
.
Qu.
Before
you
begin
,
I
would
desire
you
first
to
set
forth
that
Tranquille
Estate
of
England
as
it
lay
most
soft
,
in
her
most
securitie
(
her
Maiestie
yet
liuing
,
and
in
health
.
)
That
first
,
Taking
your
height
from
thence
,
euen
,
from
the
Ouerflow
of
her
Fulnesse
,
you
may
the
easier
make
seeme
how
great
the
distant
was
into
the
Distractions
.
Next
,
By
the
degrees
of
her
sickenes
measureth
the
times
farthest
out
of
measure
.
And
lastly
,
shew
how
sodainly
and
solidely
it
was
againe
composed
What
transposition
and
how
many
frets
,
how
much
vicissitude
,
one
month
begets
:
Be
admonished
by
the
way
to
vse
those
meanes
which
may
exempt
your
stile
from
seeming
serious
,
giue
it
a
free
and
pleasing
laxation
,
but
not
so
diffuse
as
if
your
flashes
of
mirth
were
cut
out
of
the
whole
dresser
cloth
of
ranke
wit
?
An.
To
describe
that
Securitie
proceeding
partly
of
the
fulnesse
of
such
a
gouernment
,
as
was
one
reformed
in
all
the
defects
of
those
best
squarde
,
and
conformed
by
religions
principles
,
and
especially
of
the
bounty
of
prouidence
,
whole
blessings
,
for
a
perfect
gouernment
in
it selfe
to
containe
,
it
is
as
impossible
as
for
a
full
vessell
,
his
owne
moysture
vnder
a
violent
showre
that
falls
farre
off
:
I
must
first
shew
wherein
her
Fulnesse
did
ouerflow
and
molifie
:
And
then
,
into
what
.
It
did
ouerflow
and
suffer
Excrescence
.
First
,
In
Religions
vses
.
Secondly
,
In
vses
of
temporall
blessings
.
Of
both
which
the
Extent
was
into
Softnesse
,
&
Singularity
.
Softnesse
and
Singularity
being
either
of
Fashion
or
Custome
.
It
was
Softnesse
of
Fashion
in
such
(
I
leaue
chambering
and
such
like
to
the
office
of
a
Diuine
to
speake
of
)
as
had
the
securitie
to
be
fashionable
in
all
their
actions
,
and
to
liue
●x
vs●
viuendi
,
of
which
sort
of
people
are
all
sectaries
of
〈◊〉
,
blinde
zeale
,
and
example
deriued
from
auncestors
and
grandfathers
,
with
such
like
whatsoeuer
.
The
goodnesse
of
the
day
was
to
these
like
Lybian
wormes
in
digestion
;
it
gaue
to
such
drowsinesse
all
their
faculties
,
that
they
could
doe
nothing
but
what
the
fashion
of
their
liuing
offered
vnto
them
:
and
it
was
for
fashion
that
Sir
William
R
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
R●●●●●●
was
wont
in
those
dayes
to
send
his
man
euery
morning
to
know
how
such
a
great
namelesse
Ladyshippe
tooke
her
rest
after
the
last
nights
neates-tongue
pic
,
&c.
It
was
Softnesse
of
Custome
in
such
as
held
no
law
to
ceremony
,
no
liberty
to
custome
:
and
this
was
your
country
reueller
,
your
onely
Lord
of
Whitson
ale
:
with
a
heigh
ho
come
ouer
the
dale
,
come
ouer
the
dale
heigh
ho.
It
was
into
Singularitie
with
others
,
of
which
kinde
there
be
two
sorts
,
Paradox
,
and
Morall
affectation
.
Paradox
was
one
that
for
ambition
of
a
Singularity
in
Religion
and
artes
,
would
altogether
oppose
himselfe
against
the
most
receiued
authority
.
Or
rather
for
distinctions
sake
betwixt
such
,
as
who
though
they
differ
from
the
true
positions
:
yet
it
is
not
è
regione
:
let
me
call
it
Affectation
:
and
that
only
Ambition
where
the
Singularitie
is
fetcht
from
extreames
,
the
farthest
of
which
is
Atheisme
.
Qu.
Is
it
possible
there
should
be
such
presumption
in
man
,
as
to
impugne
his
owne
bosome
faith
,
and
all
for
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
bition
of
a
Singularitie
,
can
it
be
that
a
Singularitie
should
be
so
deerely
gained
and
farre-fetcht
?
An.
Yes
;
and
boast
that
wit
for
it
to
,
asmuch
as
Laco
the
lying
trauailer
does
his
discouery
of
the
new
found
land
,
with
all
the
miraculous
stones
and
plants
he
left
behinde
him
there
:
For
,
for
mine
owne
parte
I
doe
belieue
there
is
no
other
Atheist
but
of
conscious
ambition
.
I
come
to
the
Morall
affectation
ofthose
dayes
which
was
either
the
oppsite
of
Fashion
or
Custome
.
Your
opposite
of
Fashion
was
either
he
that
vsed
to
dedicate
the
affected
prety
and
fantasticke
of
euery
new
〈◊〉
to
the
iudgement
of
some
new
Mistris
.
Or
your
Affectation
of
a
neglected
fashion
and
hauiour
,
and
this
was
your
onely
shallow
malecontent
of
the
age
.
Now
your
Anticustome
was
one
that
would
neuer
go
directly
and
by
president
,
where
his
owne
wit
or
countenance
could
come
by
ambages
:
and
therefore
me
thinkes
this
should
be
he
that
was
the
first
inuenter
of
Monopoly
,
because
the
first
that
euer
went
out
of
custome
.
Me
thinkes
this
should
be
he
that
deuised
your
first
Impropriation
of
Ecclesiasticall
liuings
:
Quest.
Why
should
he
not
be
the
first
Proteus
of
offices
and
occupations
?
Answ.
No
doubt
Sir
but
hee
was
:
For
I
can
tell
you
I
knewe
him
liue
in
the
Court
,
doe
hir
Maiestie
the
seruice
of
a
whole
man
there
,
and
yet
he
was
a
parson
in
halfe
a
dozen
places
more
at
least
,
he
was
a
baylife
in
one
shape
,
and
a
steward
in
an
other
,
now
,
an
Honorable
,
and
by
and
by
a
housesweeper
,
I
meane
him
that
had
no
substitute
therein
for
sauing
of
the
fee
,
and
to
the
rest
I
reserue
Eugé
&
Bellé
.
But
Proteus
was
no
body
to
an
other
Anticustome
in
my
remembrance
:
What
thinke
you
of
the
old
Ubiquitarie
Lycus
?
But
I
perceiue
you
are
rather
chewing
vppon
the
times
fulnesse
that
it
should
come
to
this
,
and
notwithstanding
to
haue
wholesome
gouernment
.
Qu.
Sir
,
I
ratifie
your
reasons
before
cited
,
for
a
kinde
of
necessitie
to
be
acknowledged
in
them
.
I
onely
expect
to
be
hastened
,
nowe
you
are
at
the
height
of
Englands
Securitie
,
to
heare
the
manner
of
dieting
it
from
the
first
Ouerflowe
of
her
Perfections
fulnes
,
while
it
is
gathering
new
blood
for
new
infection
,
desiring
you
to
resume
at
hir
cleere
Gouernments
proceeding
betweene
Softnes
and
Singularitie
.
Ans.
With
Softnes
in
Religion
,
because
there
was
no
such
intention
in
it
as
might
attaint
it
finaly
,
the
mildest
meanes
of
recouerie
were
thought
most
competible
,
and
so
applied
in
discretion
to
reduce
it
by
gentle
meanes
,
rather
then
giue
the
wholesome
blood
issue
at
incisions
.
But
into
Singularitie
more
obseruation
enquired
,
prosecuting
it
in
wisdom
from
the
first
schisme
to
the
extreamest
heresie
.
Qu.
Of
hit
particular
proceeding
towards
these
by
example
of
the
Papists
and
Puritanes
,
I
pray
enlarge
your
proposements
,
the
rather
to
giue
satisfaction
to
the
question
had
of
the
sinceritie
and
constancie
of
the
Inquisition
into
them
.
Ans.
Because
I
hope
I
can
not
goe
beyond
my
duty
and
authoritie
with
their
satisfaction
,
I
will
intertaine
their
doubts
with
the
sufficient
answere
of
a
letter
written
to
that
effect
late
before
hir
Maiesties
death
:
As
followeth
.
A
letter
to
a
French
Gentleman
touching
the
proceedings
in
England
in
Ecclesasticall
causes
translated
out
of
French
by
T.
T.
SIr
,
wheras
you
desire
to
be
aduertized
touching
the
proceedings
here
in
Ecclesiasticall
causes
,
because
you
note
in
them
some
inconstancie
and
variation
,
as
if
we
enclined
sometimes
to
one
side
,
and
sometimes
to
an
other
,
and
as
if
that
clemency
and
lenity
were
not
vsed
of
late
that
was
vsed
in
the
beginning
,
all
which
you
imputed
to
your
owne
superficiall
vnderstanding
of
the
affaires
of
this
state
,
hauing
notwithstanding
hir
Maiesties
doings
in
singular
reuerence
,
as
the
reall
pledges
which
shee
hath
giuen
vnto
the
world
of
hir
sinceritie
in
religion
,
and
of
hir
wisdome
in
gouernment
well
meriteth
,
I
am
glad
of
the
occasion
to
imparte
the
little
I
knowe
in
that
matter
vnto
you
,
both
for
your
owne
satisfaction
,
and
to
the
end
you
may
make
vse
therof
towards
any
that
shall
not
be
so
modestly
,
nor
so
reasonably
minded
,
as
you
are
.
I
finde
therfore
hir
Maiesties
proceedings
to
haue
bin
grounded
vpon
two
principles
.
The
one
:
That
consciences
are
not
to
be
forced
,
but
to
be
wonne
and
reduced
by
the
force
of
Truth
with
the
ayde
of
time
,
and
the
vse
of
all
good
meanes
of
instruction
and
perswasion
:
The
other
,
That
causes
of
conscience
,
when
they
exceede
their
boundes
,
and
grow
to
be
matter
of
faction
,
loose
their
nature
,
and
that
soueraigne
Princes
ought
distinctly
to
punish
the
practise
in
contempt
,
though
coloured
with
the
pretence
of
conscience
and
religion
.
According
to
these
principles
her
Maiestie
,
at
her
comming
to
the
Crowne
vtterly
disliking
of
the
tyranny
of
Rome
,
which
had
vsed
by
terrour
and
rigour
to
seeke
commaundement
of
mens
faiths
and
consciences
,
though
as
a
prince
of
great
wisdome
&
magnanimitie
she
suffred
but
the
exercise
of
one
religion
,
yet
hir
proceedings
towards
the
Papists
was
with
great
lenitie
,
expecting
the
good
effects
which
time
might
worke
in
them
.
And
therfore
hir
Maiestie
reuiued
not
the
lawes
made
in
the
28.
and
35.
of
hir
fathers
raigne
,
wherby
the
oath
of
Supremacie
might
haue
bin
offered
at
the
Kings
pleasure
to
any
subiect
though
hee
kept
his
conscience
neuer
so
modestly
to
himselfe
,
&
the
Refusall
to
take
the
same
oath
without
farther
circumstances
,
was
made
treason
:
But
contrariwise
,
hir
Maiestie
not
liking
to
make
windowes
into
mens
harts
and
secret
thoughts
,
except
the
aboundance
of
them
did
ouerflowe
into
ouerte
and
expresse
acts
or
affirmations
,
tempered
hir
lawe
so
as
it
restraineth
only
manifest
disobedience
in
impugning
and
impeaching
aduisedly
and
malitiously
hir
Maiesties
supreame
power
and
maintaining
and
extolling
a
forraigne
iurisdiction
:
And
as
for
the
oath
,
It
was
altered
by
hir
Maiestie
into
a
more
gratefull
forme
▪
the
harshnes
of
the
name
,
and
appellation
of
Supreame
head
was
remoued
,
&
the
penalty
of
the
refusall
therof
turned
onely
into
a
disablement
to
take
any
promotion
,
or
to
exercise
any
charge
;
and
yet
that
with
libertie
of
being
reuested
therin
,
if
any
man
shall
accept
thereof
during
his
life
.
But
after
,
when
Pius
Quintus
had
excommunicated
hir
Maiestie
,
and
the
Bull
of
excommunication
was
published
in
London
,
wherby
hir
Maiestie
was
in
sorte
proscribed
and
that
theruppon
,
as
vppon
a
principall
motiue
or
preparatiue
followed
the
rebellion
in
the
North
:
yet
because
the
ill
humors
of
the
realme
were
by
that
rebellion
partly
purged
,
and
that
she
feared
at
that
time
no
forraigne
inuasion
,
and
much
lesse
the
attempt
of
any
within
the
realme
not
backed
by
some
potent
succoure
from
without
,
she
contented
hirselfe
to
make
a
lawe
against
that
speciall
case
of
bringing
in
,
or
publishing
of
Bulls
,
or
the
like
instruments
:
whereunto
was
added
,
a
prohibition
,
vppon
paine
,
not
of
treason
,
but
of
an
inferior
degree
of
punishment
against
the
bringing
in
of
the
Agnus
Dei
,
halowed
bread
,
and
such
other
merchandize
of
Rome
,
as
are
well
knowne
not
to
be
any
essentiall
partes
of
the
Romane
religion
▪
but
onely
to
be
vsed
in
practi●e
as
loue-tokens
to
inchaunt
and
bewitch
the
peoples
affections
from
their
allegeance
to
their
naturall
soueraigne
.
In
all
other
points
hir
Maiestie
continued
hir
former
lenitie
.
But
when
about
the
twentieth
yeare
of
hir
raigne
shee
had
discouered
in
the
King
of
Spaine
an
intention
to
inuade
hir
dominions
,
and
that
a
principall
point
of
the
plotte
was
to
prepare
a
partie
with
in
the
realme
that
might
adhere
to
the
forreiner
,
and
that
the
Seminaries
began
to
blossome
and
to
send
forth
dayly
priests
and
professed
men
,
who
should
,
by
vow
taken
at
shrift
,
reconcile
her
subiects
from
their
obedience
,
yea
and
binde
many
of
them
to
attempt
against
her
Maiesties
sacred
person
,
and
that
by
the
poyson
which
they
spred
,
the
humors
of
most
Papists
were
altered
,
and
that
they
were
no
more
Papists
in
conscience
and
of
Softenes
,
but
Papists
in
faction
;
then
were
there
newe
lawes
made
for
the
punishment
of
such
as
should
submitte
them selues
to
such
reconcilements
or
renuntiations
of
obedience
▪
And
because
it
was
a
treason
carried
in
the
clowdes
and
in
wonderfull
secrecie
,
and
came
seldome
to
light
,
and
that
there
was
no
presumption
thereof
so
great
as
the
recusancie
to
come
to
diuine
seruice
:
Because
it
was
sette
downe
by
their
decrees
.
That
,
To
come
to
Church
before
reconcilement
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
schisme
:
But
;
To
come
to
Church
after
〈◊〉
,
was
absolutely
hereticall
and
damnable
.
Therefore
there
were
added
Lawes
containing
punishment
pecuniarie
against
such
Recusants
,
not
to
enforce
consciences
,
but
to
infeeble
and
impouerish
the
meanes
of
those
of
whom
it
rested
indifferent
and
ambiguous
,
whether
they
were
reconciled
,
or
no.
And
when
not
withstanding
all
this
prouision
,
this
poyson
was
dispersed
so
secretly
,
as
that
there
was
no
meanes
to
stay
it
but
by
restraining
the
Merchants
that
brought
it
in
.
Then
lastly
,
was
there
added
a
Lawe
whereby
such
seditious
priests
of
the
new
erection
were
exiled
;
and
those
that
were
at
that
〈◊〉
within
the
land
shipped
ouer
,
and
so
commanded
to
keepe
hence
vpon
paine
of
treason
.
This
hath
beene
the
proceeding
,
though
intermingled
,
not
only
with
sundrie
examples
of
hir
Maiesties
grace
towards
such
as
in
hir
wisdome
she
knewe
to
be
Papists
in
Conscience
,
and
not
in
Faction
and
Sigularitie
;
but
also
with
an
ordinarie
mitigation
towards
the
offenders
in
the
highest
degree
conuicted
by
lawe
:
If
they
would
but
protest
▪
that
if
in
case
this
realme
should
be
inuaded
with
a
forreine
armie
by
the
Popes
authoritie
,
for
the
Catholique
cause
,
(
as
they
terme
it
)
they
would
take
part
with
hir
Maiestie
,
and
not
adhere
to
hir
enemies
.
For
the
other
part
which
haue
bin
offensiue
to
the
State
,
though
in
other
degree
,
which
name
themselues
Reformers
,
and
we
commonly
call
Puritanes
;
this
hath
bin
the
proceeding
towards
them
.
A
great
while
when
they
inueighed
against
such
abuses
in
the
Church
,
as
,
Pluralities
,
Nonresidence
,
&
the
like
;
their
zeale
was
not
condemned
,
only
their
violence
was
somtimes
censured
.
When
they
refused
the
vse
of
some
ceremonies
and
rites
,
as
superstitious
,
they
were
tollerated
with
much
con●iuence
,
and
gentlenes
:
Yea
,
when
they
called
in
question
the
Superioritie
of
Bishops
,
and
pretended
to
bring
a
Democracie
into
the
church
;
Yet
,
their
Propositions
were
heard
,
considered
,
and
by
contrarie
writing
,
debated
,
and
discussed
.
Yet
all
this
while
,
it
was
perceiued
that
their
course
was
dangerous
,
and
very
popular
:
as
,
because
Papistrie
was
odious
,
therefore
it
was
euer
in
their
mouthes
,
that
they
sought
to
purge
the
Church
from
the
reliques
of
Papistrie
,
a
thing
acceptable
to
the
people
,
who
loue
euer
to
run
from
one
extreame
,
to
an
other
.
Because
multitude
of
Rogues
▪
and
Pouertie
were
an
eye-soare
,
and
dislike
to
euerie
man
,
therefore
they
put
it
into
the
peoples
head
:
That
,
if
Discipline
were
planted
,
there
should
be
no
vagabonds
,
nor
beggers
(
a
thing
very
plausible
.
)
and
in
like
manner
,
they
promised
the
people
many
other
impossible
wonders
of
their
Discipline
.
Besides
,
they
opened
the
people
a
way
to
gouernment
by
their
Consistorie
,
and
Praesbyterie
(
a
thing
though
in
consequence
no
lesse
praeiudiciall
to
the
liberties
of
priuate
men
,
then
to
the
soueraignty
of
Princes
,
yet
in
first
shew
very
popular
.
Neuerthelesse
all
this
(
except
it
were
in
some
few
that
entered
into
extreame
contempts
)
was
borne
,
because
they
pretended
but
in
dutifull
maner
to
make
propositions
and
to
leaue
it
to
the
prouidence
of
God
,
and
the
authoritie
of
the
Magistrate
.
But
now
of
late
yeares
,
when
there
issued
from
them
as
it
were
a
Colonie
of
those
that
affirmed
the
consent
of
the
Magistrate
was
not
to
be
attended
,
when
vnder
pretence
of
a
confession
,
to
auoide
slaunders
and
imputations
,
they
combined
themselues
by
classes
and
subscriptions
,
when
they
descended
into
that
vile
&
base
meanes
of
defacing
the
gouernment
of
the
Church
by
rediculous
Pasqu●ls
.
When
they
beganne
to
make
many
subiects
in
doubt
to
take
an
oath
,
which
is
one
of
the
fundamentall
parts
of
Iustice
in
this
Land
and
in
all
places
.
When
they
beganne
both
to
vaunt
of
the
strength
and
number
of
their
partizans
,
and
followers
,
and
to
vse
communications
that
their
cause
would
preuaile
,
though
with
vproare
and
violence
.
Then
it
appeared
to
be
no
more
zeale
,
no
more
conscience
,
but
meere
faction
and
diuision
:
And
therefore
though
the
State
was
compelled
to
hold
somewhat
a
harder
hand
to
restraine
them
then
before
;
yet
it
was
with
as
great
moderation
as
the
peace
of
the
Church
and
State
could
permitte
.
And
therefore
Sir
(
to
conclude
)
consider
vprightly
of
these
matters
,
and
you
shall
see
her
Maiestie
is
no
temporizer
in
religion
;
she
buildes
not
religion
vpon
policie
,
but
policie
vpon
religion
;
It
is
not
the
successe
abroade
,
nor
the
change
of
seruants
here
at
home
can
alter
her
,
onely
as
the
things
themselues
alter
,
so
she
applieth
hir
religious
wisdome
to
correspond
vnto
them
,
still
retaining
the
two
rules
before
mentioned
,
in
dealing
tenderly
with
consciences
,
&
yet
in
discouering
Faction
from
Conscience
,
&
Softnes
from
Singularitie
.
Farewell
.
Your
louing
friend
T.
P.
THe
other
kinde
of
Softnesse
in
mortall
behauiour
,
because
it
had
no
such
eagernesse
in
it
,
as
might
it
time
vnquallifie
the
generall
temperament
,
was
measured
aduisedly
by
his
owne
length
and
breadth
:
It
had
ceremony
of
an
implicite
law
and
custome
of
a
modest
liberty
.
Singularity
in
Artes
,
because
it
needed
no
other
penance
but
the
world
to
haue
knowledge
of
it
,
to
be
the
signe
of
a
too
soone
mellowed
wit
,
to
be
as
soone
rotten
,
was
therefore
limed
with
no
other
circumuention
.
Ambition
in
Artes
,
such
as
tended
to
induce
the
heresie
of
religion
,
suffered
vnder
the
same
letter
of
the
law
with
it
:
it
was
onely
the
modesty
of
the
law-giuer
not
to
prohibite
that
which
her
charitie
denied
her
to
suspect
,
as
an
ambition
so
infinite
and
beyond
extreames
,
as
is
Atheisme
,
which
in
the
most
presumption
broake
but
out
in
positions
of
Philosophie
,
and
that
for
disputations
cause
,
or
so
.
Your
Singularity
of
Fashion
,
was
such
an
vncertaine
fellow
,
that
no
law
,
nor
good
opinion
could
euer
take
hold
of
him
.
Next
,
your
Malecontent
exprest
,
had
leaue
to
walke
the
great
conduite
court
of
the
world
,
till
hee
wanted
breath
to
giue
curses
their
significant
found
,
vnlesse
it
chanced
the
wantons
to
wash
out
the
face-making
flie
stingde
giddinesse
before
his
cew
.
Lastly
,
as
I
cannot
excuse
Singularity
of
custome
better
then
by
ascribing
it
to
the
iniquitie
of
the
times
past
so
.
I
will
not
wish
it
worse
then
to
be
so
reformed
in
times
to
come
,
that
Proteus
may
haue
but
one
certaine
shape
,
and
plumpe
Lya●●
one
Ivie
bush
.
Euen
here
at
the
habite
of
Anticustome
,
thus
farre
crept
in
vpon
seeming
good
and
lawfull
inducements
,
was
the
most
extensure
of
Security
,
her
Maiestie
euen
now
in
health
,
and
euen
now
shee
sickened
when
her
fulnesse
had
all
these
fortunate
moles
vpon
it
,
when
,
Softnesse
had
safety
to
liue
out
of
vse
.
when
,
Religion
had
time
to
be
factious
.
when
,
Artes
had
straines
of
affectation
.
and
when
,
Wit
was
ambitious
of
Singularity
.
All
which
are
the
manifest
signes
of
a
full
and
fortunate
Weale
.
Quest.
I
belieue
you
haue
omitted
one
and
the
chiefe
kinde
of
a
habite
of
Security
:
Inoculate
Security
:
that
which
neuer
lookes
behinde
him
:
neuer
studies
to
futuritie
,
vnlesse
you
implide
it
in
Softnesse
of
Custome
?
Ans.
I
did
so
,
as
it
was
improuidence
of
requisite
,
and
no
otherwise
:
But
it
seemes
you
meane
Security
Inoculate
to
the
succession
,
which
is
as
farre
from
being
Softnesse
in
duty
,
that
it
is
rather
the
qualitie
of
〈◊〉
in
the
heart
of
obedience
,
whereby
a
man
is
so
securely
and
wholy
dedicated
to
the
present
scepter
,
that
he
lend
no
part
of
this
dutie
to
the
next
succession
.
For
the
greatest
duty
which
wee
owe
to
succession
,
next
prayer
,
is
,
to
instruct
,
ourselues
modestly
in
his
title
,
for
our
confirmation
and
assurance
,
that
our
liues
,
laide
downe
in
his
cause
,
and
,
when
his
time
shall
require
,
are
a
sacrifice
:
and
the
bloud
otherwise
,
spent
otherwise
:
The
next
is
,
if
God
haue
endued
him
with
singular
gifts
,
to
set
them
before
vs
for
our
comfort
.
And
whatsoeuer
is
more
then
this
is
superarrogation
of
workes
,
which
oftentimes
want
their
faith
.
I
speake
not
this
,
to
accuse
any
such
,
but
to
excuse
the
most
.
Or
rather
,
it
seemes
you
cast
out
this
baite
,
to
catch
an
vnaduised
answere
,
à
contrarie
,
as
if
you
would
tendetly
leade
me
to
say
,
that
among
a
people
of
fufill
and
insinuating
behauior
there
all
wayes
hath
beene
,
and
euer
will
be
,
transposition
of
duty
,
while
there
is
possibility
of
change
.
I
thinke
I
may
speake
it
generally
,
reseruing
safely
my
faith
of
the
present
excepted
state
.
All
imminence
of
change
,
or
age
suspected
,
Yeelds
cold
affectious
,
awefulnesse
neglected
,
And
euery
scepters
yeares
weares
out
his
gold
:
But
this
of
Iames
wrought
out
of
purest
mold
.
To
whose
cleere
radiance
being
so
diuine
,
All
subiects
eyes
looke
forward
,
〈◊〉
behinde
,
And
wish
we
may
enioy
those
beames
of
his
,
While
Time
hath
when
to
be
,
or
Being
is
.
Your
last
question
hath
discontinued
me
longer
from
Englands
most
softe
of
Securitie
,
th●n
I
purposed
.
But
I
hope
all
is
well
till
wee
come
euer
heere
where
hir
Maiestie
sickened
.
The
Distractions
during
hir
Maiesties
sicknes
.
THe
first
newes
the
〈◊〉
had
of
hir
sicknesse
came
from
〈◊〉
by
one
Oliuer
Sharke
a
sculler
&
was
deliuered
with
other
certain
pr●ua●t
accordingly
▪
Before
this
newes
was
stale
came
a
taile
of
fresh
sammon
to
countermand
it
with
other
certaine
newes
of
a
something
nothing
,
and
a
priest
that
was
neither
dead
nor
aliue
,
but
suspended
betwixt
both
.
But
the
meate
that
this
newes
carried
in
the
mouth
of
it
,
hauing
taken
winde
in
the
seasoning
was
solde
two
dayes
after
at
the
Bridge-house
in
Southwarke
for
little
or
nothing
.
The
appetite
of
the
vulgar
was
not
so
queasie
but
it
would
rather
call
againe
for
the
first
dish
,
than
turne
gordge
to
the
tainte
of
the
latter
;
and
now
againe
hir
Maiesties
sickenesse
was
altogether
in
their
priuate
cuppes
:
for
as
yet
it
was
but
priuate
,
and
that
onely
in
the
Ci●tie●
till
anon
after
,
Tweedle
the
Tab●rer
chanc'd
to
carry
it
piping
hote
into
the
Country
,
and
what
marvellous
Distractions
it
wrought
in
both
,
I
shall
briefely
discourse
vnto
you
.
Yet
the
newes
past
but
betwixt
neighbours
and
familiars
,
onely
for
intertainement
of
time
and
exercise
of
secrecie
,
or
so
.
The
first
newes
only
prepared
them
to
belieue
the
second
affirmations
,
whereof
the
next
tidings
presently
possest
them
:
for
indeede
,
the
vulgare
faith
is
all
possession
;
and
now
there
wanted
nothing
to
transport
and
distract
them
,
but
the
many
differing
circumstances
of
the
oft
repeated
newes
.
Quest.
And
could
that
be
wanting
in
a
world
so
ambitious
of
innouation
?
Were
there
none
that
would
lend
a
hand
to
vnhinge
the
stalenesse
of
it
with
the
important
circumstances
that
should
attend
this
sicknes
?
Ans.
〈…〉
were
either
such
as
to
whom
their
present
discontentment
,
either
the
hope
of
Reuenge
or
Aduancement
made
it
seeme
stale
.
These
only
laboured
to
draw
the
vulgar
into
distraction
knowing
them
to
be
of
such
facilitie
therin
,
that
they
would
dissolue
againe
in
the
feare
of
eruption
.
And
now
,
when
this
third
dayes
asseueration
to
the
former
with
all
the
circumstances
that
midnights
aduise
could
adde
vnto
i●
had
full
effect
in
them
,
they
were
distracted
.
The
poorer
sorte
,
lest
their
securitie
and
fashion
of
living
should
be
disturbed
by
the
eruption
.
The
richer
sorte
,
lest
the
eruption
should
bring
a
generall
embargo
of
trafique
abroad●
▪
and
domestical
credits
or
debts
depending
in
other
mens
hands
at
〈◊〉
.
Quest.
Then
,
if
their
distractions
could
reserue
to
feare
and
that
feare
recouer
some
parte
of
it selfe
into
the
studie
of
preuention
.
Let
me
knowe
how
farre
it
could
reach
his
meanes
at
such
a
time
,
or
whether
by
striuing
to
be
freed
it
was
not
more
engaged
?
Ans.
Of
these
two
the
first
onely
was
lost
in
the
act
of
study
.
The
other
being
loath
to
out-steppe
the
sure
and
slow
modestie
of
his
discretion
embraced
onely
the
next
meanes
which
offered
themselues
to
his
aduise
:
That
was
to
proceede
lawfully
while
time
yet
serued
in
quest
of
debts
at
home
,
and
to
dispatch
an
expeditious
summons
to
factors
abroad
.
This
intendment
of
lawefull
quest
put
hope
of
reuenge
vpon
creditors
,
for
at
such
a
time
a
man
shall
finde
none
so
great
an
enimie
as
his
debitor
,
to
a
farther
taske
,
for
his
owne
securitie
,
which
would
not
be
better
preserued
than
by
abating
the
edge
of
iustice
with
a
constant
report
of
her
Maiesties
death
.
This
was
presently
snacht
of
maney
.
The
more
beleeued
,
by
how
much
the
more
was
the
nicenes
had
of
it
:
And
the
rather
,
because
the
voyce
of
hir
sickenesse
had
now
depended
among
them
three
or
foure
dayes
at
least
.
For
it
is
not
the
intention
or
remission
of
a
thing
already
granted
,
but
the
degrees
of
time
,
wherein
it
depends
perswades
the
vulgar
beliefe
in
extreames
.
This
opinion
of
the
commons
,
especially
those
of
the
Citie
,
was
as
,
the
next
dayes
busines
gaue
occasion
,
in
Guildhall
,
in
sollide
sentence
re-enforced
and
had
,
no
doubt
,
giuen
way
to
the
〈◊〉
in
a
reuerence
of
the
speaker
but
for
suggestion
of
Desire
of
innouation
,
who
still
tooke
vp
their
parts
of
facilitie
as
they
lay
for
his
vse
and
imployments
,
of
which
none
was
so
fitte
in
this
place
as
his
suspition
ouer
greatnesse
and
nobilitie
vppon
some
superficiall
surmizes
,
which
turned
his
speech
into
a
greater
argument
of
their
former
presumption
,
so
that
here
I
may
well
say
with
the
poet
.

The
which
our
English
Ouid
hath
thus
translated
,
The
more
I
waue
this
brand
of
fire
about
,
The
more
it
burnes
,
fire
let
alone
goes
out
.
And
though
it
were
in
their
presumption
already
,
to
beleeue
the
reporte
of
her
death
,
yet
feare
,
and
the
habite
of
obedience
vnder
a
long
establisht
and
ciuill
gouernment
commaunded
their
humilitie
,
not
to
publish
it
;
till
when
,
the
inferior
officer
of
iustice
,
though
hee
made
some
scruple
(
as
was
craftily
put
vnto
him
)
to
do
the
most
that
the
vertue
of
his
office
would
beare
,
yet
he
would
still
be
foyling
at
transgression
,
as
occasion
serued
,
and
till
then
the
creditor
durst
be
so
valiant
as
to
acknowledge
,
yea
and
to
challenge
his
debtor
.
My selfe
knew
a
Mercer
of
the
spirit
in
those
dayes
to
send
his
wife
with
the
booke
to
a
right
Honourable
,
whose
chance
it
being
to
ouertake
me
vpon
my
way
,
bespake
me
for
one
of
his
followers
,
that
had
serued
him
seauen
yeares
to
know
his
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
the
order
,
to
dispose
her
,
where
she
might
accost
his
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
most
conueniently
,
excepting
onely
his
bedch●●●er
,
for
to
haue
audience
there
,
her
author
sayes
is
a
note
of
〈◊〉
great
popularitie
;
to
auoide
which
,
it
is
his
custome
to
be
attended
in
the
drawing
chamber
,
which
mee
thinkes
should
be
a
note
more
then
woman-modesty
would
beare
:
and
of
this
,
too
much
for
the
valour
of
the
creditor
,
while
she
was
dead
in
their
whisperings
.
Hitherto
the
vulgar
descerning
no
alteration
in
the
method
of
the
world
,
such
as
vses
to
followe
the
death
of
princes
,
and
no
breath
vsed
to
mainteine
the
fire
of
beliefe
by
the
suspected
endeuor
of
suppressing
it
,
grew
to
be
so
remisse
in
the
delay
,
that
his
whilome
impatience
became
a
thing
like
a
reasonable
creature
,
so
like
,
that
shortly
the
commaundement
of
certaine
the
〈◊〉
phisitions
to
be
sent
to
Court
,
made
them
once
more
affable
,
so
affable
,
that
he
could
haue
endured
the
discourse
of
the
measure
of
hir
diet
,
the
manner
of
hir
rest
,
or
the
nature
of
hir
sicknes
with
some
few
breathings
betwixt
:
whereby
it
appeares
hetherto
,
yea
vnto
the
end
:
The
habite
of
a
ciuil
gouernment
had
his
challenge
in
them
entire
,
and
that
hetherto
the
disease
of
stalenesse
lay
soft
in
his
owne
bosome
.
Qu.
Me
thinkes
a
Habite
at
such
a
time
as
this
was
,
could
not
so
wholy
retaine
them
,
without
the
better
and
much
more
then
ordinary
inuigilance
of
office
?
Ans.
Sir
,
I
make
Habite
of
obedience
,
the
nature
of
his
tenure
,
and
the
present
circumstances
of
the
time
,
his
conditions
with
the
gouernment
;
So
that
,
these
times
being
so
incertaine
and
quicke
in
their
circumstances
,
that
they
could
not
be
measured
with
conditions
,
I
thinke
I
may
without
detraction
from
office
attribute
the
continence
of
them
to
Habite
,
of
obedience
chiefly
.
Once
more
laying
aparte
all
surmises
,
it
was
in
cleere
eloquence
(
prouided
it
were
from
the
mouth
of
their
owne
Oratour
)
and
in
gentle
meanes
,
though
not
to
giue
their
affections
peace
,
yet
to
compresse
them
from
breaking
out
into
looser
speaking
,
which
is
alwayes
the
certaine
Message
of
mutinie
.
Quest.
As
if
the
priuate
example
of
punishment
had
,
were
not
rather
to
be
vsed
at
such
times
,
then
gentle
meanes
to
the
vulgar
,
in
whom
admiration
and
feare
of
Iustice
haue
such
simpathie
and
relatiue
suffering
.
An.
It
were
in
composed
times
;
but
not
here
:
for
knowe
.
This
vulgar's
like
a
skaine
of
many
threds
Running
into
a
rownd
and
looser
liste
,
It
rauels
,
and
it
opens
ere
ye
wiste
.
Plucke
at
the
single
threds
with
violence
,
It
puckers
to
a
knotty
consequence
:
When
with
a
gentle
shaking
of
the
〈◊〉
The
hardest
knots
vnt
wine
themselues
againe
.
Yea
the
very
rage
of
humilitie
,
though
it
be
most
violent
,
and
dangerous
:
Yet
it
is
sooner
alliciated
by
ceremony
than
compelled
by
vertue
of
office
.
Th'
extreamest
vassallage
enlarg'd
acquires
The
most
insatiate
and
licentious
head
Whose
giddinesse
like
to
a
drunken
man
Is
sooner
pacified
than
chastized
.
It
would
be
pacified
in
the
present
fury
,
and
afterwards
in
his
time
chastizement
would
be
taken
of
the
first
and
chiefe
commencers
therof
:
But
in
this
place
they
could
not
be
so
loose
of
obedience
for
the
reasons
before
going
.
Anon
:
For
all
this
,
I
know
not
vpon
what
admonition
of
circumstances
,
there
chancing
certaine
munition
to
be
carried
through
the
Citty
to
the
Court
,
and
other
carriages
retriued
from
thence
to
the
Towre
;
the
vulgar
began
to
finde
fault
with
his
owne
flexibilitie
of
beliefe
,
vowing
no
longer
to
suffer
his
eares
to
be
taken
vp
with
any
other
perswasion
but
that
of
her
death
,
nor
to
deferre
any
farther
his
instance
taking
from
the
Court
,
but
to
be
presently
appointed
vpon
his
double
guardes
.
And
here
Distraction
had
his
ancient
cognisance
of
Bilbo
:
passant
,
and
Lanthorne
and
candlelight
pendant
.
And
euen
here
it
rusht
into
the
suspition
of
apparant
succession
approaching
.
Quest.
Then
,
the
out-breaking
was
not
till
now
?
because
nothing
could
diuide
them
so
much
as
the
question
thereof
?
Answ.
Nor
yet
:
for
it
was
a
question
,
not
in
faith
;
but
in
workes
;
or
rather
ceremony
of
knowledge
thereof
had
,
to
which
it
had
beene
so
long
enawde
,
that
it
was
in
their
disposition
,
and
nature
to
feare
to
speake
it
before
the
very
Aiax
in
the
painted
cloth
.
It
was
no
violent
sweat
in
their
affections
to
attend
the
prouidence
of
God
,
the
goodnesse
of
the
houre
,
and
the
due
consent
of
the
Nobilitie
.
These
former
signes
of
Eruption
to
be
suspected
,
at
least
did
here
dead
,
the
quicknes
of
all
sale
and
commerce
.
So
that
the
trades
man
and
the
man
of
science
mercenable
gaue
that
time
to
hearing
&
retailing
of
newes
which
belongd
heretofore
to
the
care
of
his
charge
.
Why
?
there
was
such
pursuite
after
newes
,
that
whole
houses
stood
as
naked
as
Newington
buttes
,
and
no
body
to
giue
a
man
a
reasonable
answere
at
doore
but
my
True
and
Naturall
Bilbo
:
which
I
could
haue
best
allowed
,
if
it
had
beene
at
a
Constables
doore
,
for
it
must
needes
be
there
most
safe
:
because
the
stockes
neuer
stand
farre
off
:
And
both
together
are
like
a
cuppe
of
good
wine
at
the
Counter
gate
in
the
Powltry
where
a
good
fellow
dares
not
come
to
commend
it
,
or
rather
like
a
prouost
Marshall
at
a
Misers
feast
,
where
beggers
dare
not
attend
it
.
Ouer
the
common
application
of
these
saide
signes
,
came
his
degrees
of
time
,
which
by
this
,
brought
Suspition
into
Expectation
of
change
;
after
which
Discontentment
thirsted
,
Prisons
yawnde
,
the
skirts
of
the
Suburbs
longde
,
and
Hope
of
Reuenge
did
inuocate
,
yet
all
was
spe
macra
(
as
Persuis
speakes
)
for
still
Iustice
was
foyling
as
occasion
serude
.
Occasion
serude
this
day
the
next
before
her
death
,
to
put
into
safe
custodie
your
onely
honest
Dicke
termde
Captaine
,
for
making
fencers
breakefasts
as
hee
was
passing
vpon
his
way
to
take
instruction
from
some
Coopers
boy
where
the
Citties
prouision
was
stored
,
or
such
like
businesse
of
importe
,
I
gesse
for
caution
to
such
as
it
concernes
to
be
more
carefull
,
whom
they
imploy
in
the
lodging
thereof
.
Notwithstanding
,
my
Captaines
late
mischance
this
very
same
day
,
such
as
had
smoakte
out
the
memory
of
them
in
Bankeside
tappehouses
and
Bartholmew
boothes
,
were
seene
abroad
at
high
noone
;
all
,
in
expectation
of
executions
or
imployments
at
least
.
Quest.
You
shall
doe
well
to
make
the
description
of
the
day
somewhat
more
cinct
then
the
subiect
ministers
vnto
you
,
and
to
close
it
vp
with
the
setting
of
the
fairest
star
in
the
farthest
West
:
Euen
with
the
Eues
euening
to
her
death
▪
In
which
,
if
there
be
familiaritie
betwixt
Heauens
&
Mortalitie
,
I
should
especially
looke
for
manifestation
therof
by
such
signes
whose
reasons
stand
without
the
mystery
of
your
Philosophie
?
Answ.
Besides
,
that
I
am
so
farre
from
being
scrupulous
therein
,
that
onely
excepting
against
some
absurdities
founded
vpon
it
,
I
repute
it
a
necessary
instrument
of
prouidence
I
assure
you
that
such
signes
of
promotion
to
come
from
the
North
,
askt
the
astonishment
of
this
frailtie
,
and
these
Organs
affixt
vnto
them
.
This
night
,
I
know
not
by
what
vnknowne
familiarity
;
amazement
vsurpt
vpon
all
sences
,
and
more
then
wonted
weight
sate
vpon
all
eyes
.
This
night
,
the
trauailer
as
aduised
vpon
some
gaine-giuing
,
reposde
himselfe
before
his
houre
,
and
the
watchman
,
whom
the
businesse
of
the
night
had
tooke
vp
,
seemed
to
walke
his
round
in
some
vnfrequented
place
,
so
full
of
sollitude
was
that
night
,
labouring
of
that
consummation
,
whereof
this
next
morning
was
deliuered
:
when
euery
starre
hastened
to
be
quencht
in
his
owne
dew
.
Her
liues
familiar
starre
did
shoote
and
fall
,
The
fairest
one
the
heauens
were
grac't
withall
.
Quest.
What
could
now
obsist
(
her
death
being
granted
)
why
,
betweene
it
and
the
Succession
proclaymed
,
Humilitie
should
not
put
off
his
habite
of
awefulnesse
,
and
like
a
full
eyde
faulcon
take
impatience
of
handing
?
Why
should
not
this
intermission
complaine
her
old
agreemences
?
Or
rather
,
why
should
it
not
actuate
whatsoeuer
the
former
times
had
tooke
to
hart
?
Answ.
Because
the
newes
thereof
had
the
same
wing
with
the
best
expedition
of
publishing
the
Succession
.
Or
say
,
the
present
ruines
of
Maiestie
,
detaining
yet
the
Pieres
conscript
in
the
spectacle
,
had
giuen
the
speaking
message
of
her
death
the
first
statte
,
and
preoccupation
of
eares
,
yet
it
being
long
since
registred
in
the
vulgar
faith
,
could
not
now
with
all
his
comment
of
circumstances
take
off
the
foreskinne
which
had
euen
ouergrowne
the
memory
of
her
:
for
his
faith
was
long
since
made
so
yeelding
vnto
it
,
that
no
new
force
,
or
concussion
of
lowde
reporte
,
but
onely
lenitiue
meanes
could
giue
quickenes
to
the
griefe
of
it
,
being
so
much
stupefied
&
blunted
with
depending
,
as
the
sense
of
his
expectation
of
change
with
vse
,
now
nothing
but
euident
romage
,
and
the
inuersion
of
the
generall
methode
could
be
violent
in
their
affections
;
so
much
their
feare
was
ouerlaide
with
delay
.
For
take
notice
,
that
this
vulgar
is
not
to
be
preparde
to
any
thing
by
any
,
but
by
Kingly
power
:
It
is
an
extemporall
creature
,
and
certaine
in
nothing
but
his
habite
.
While
Englands
Maiestie
was
very
early
this
morning
about
to
be
transposed
,
did
discontentment
fretting
vppon
protraction
resolue
at
length
,
because
the
Sere
of
the
Commons
according
to
the
ayres
subtiltie
would
not
take
to
be
deliberately
kindled
into
rage
to
lift
vp
his
burthen
vppon
his
owne
shoulders
,
and
to
set
the
first
hand
that
should
euen
dislocate
this
stale
world
locallie
;
so
eagerly
it
distasted
him
,
promising
to
him selfe
an
assurance
of
buyng
backe
their
duties
by
the
offered
prey
into
which
his
facinorous
example
should
not
faile
to
engage
them
;
When
to
secure
themselues
for
that
offence
,
No
treason
is
too
darke
to
be
commenc't
.
And
now
as
the
hand
of
Discontentment
was
vp-lifted
,
when
Reuenge
lookt
big
vpon
his
creditor
,
and
the
rich
man
feared
to
carry
his
throate
about
him
.
The
blessednesse
of
the
houre
,
admonisht
by
signes
from
heauen
,
and
consciences
on
earth
to
proclaime
King
Iames
of
England
the
first
,
composde
as
sodainely
,
as
sollidly
euen
all
the
Distractions
of
our
scaene
:
At
which
did
Discontentment
giue
this
desperate
farewell
to
all
his
hopes
.
The
Newes
is
good
thus
,
and
good
otherwise
:
What
needes
he
feare
to
fall
ne'r
hopes
to
rise
?
Quest.
Sir
now
you
haue
digested
the
fractions
of
those
dayes
remotion
so
compendiously
as
these
few
,
the
appertment
words
and
the
patience
of
your
hearer
could
beare
,
I
desire
you
before
you
speake
of
the
Scottish
Englishing
which
I
take
to
be
the
maine
drift
of
your
exercise
,
to

by
the
way

Because

you

more
acceptable

you

Quest.
IS
this
all
she
shall
haue
?
Why
I
expected
a
vollume
of
your
Melpomene
bound
vp
in
the
very
vampe
of
hir
buskine
with
prety
passionate
speeches
in
a
new
streine
,
and
an
inuocation
that
should
haue
drawne
drie
the
very
hoofes
of
your
flying
horse
in
Friday-streete
;
as
thus
.
Admetus
dairie
maide
come
feede
thy
Neame
,
Come
bring
Apollo
curds
and
clowted
creame
.
But
indeede
,
indeede
,
this
is
all
in
all
,
for
true
griefe
would
not
be
commended
for
action
,
it
is
so
much
in
suffering
:
It
would
be
ceremonious
,
not
affected
?
Answ.
At
least
Sir
I
am
sure
,
there
is
no
more
sinceritie
in
these
few
lines
,
then
I
am
able
to
quote
vppon
a
masse
of
her
flatterers
:
For
who
would
beleeue
it
?
That
hee
which
was
wont
to
set
a
worlds
distinction
betwixt
her
and
mortahtie
,
should
now
come
after
,
and
say
she
went
the
way
of
all
flesh
?
Or
,
is
it
possible
?
That
the
same
Anti-Corbulo
that
hath
so
often
prayed
,
he
might
neuer
liue
to
see
that
day
should
be
so
good
to
his
Phisition
now
?
I
see
the
reason
of
it
,
the
quench't
fire
made
the
old
wife
giue
o're
her
tale
;
and
there
she
lost
it
.
The

Question
.
NOw
you
haue
broght
me
to
the
restitution
of
the
times
harmony
,
I
thinke
it
not
amis
to
close
vp
your
discourse
with
the
Scottish
Englishing
,
or
the
vniting
of
both
Nations
,
that
first
,
implying
his
Maiesties
prerogatiue
therein
,
in
his
title
deriued
from
Henry
the
third
:
you
come
briefly
to
the
discussing
of
the
inherence
vppon
these
two
questions
.
The
first
,
whether
there
be
an
aptnesse
in
these
two
to
be
reconciled
and
made
one
?
The
second
,
whether
being
now
made
one
,
there
may
be
meanes
vsed
to
preserue
that
consent
and
vnitie
euerlastingly
?
The
first
question
is
onely
of
their
mutuall
accommodation
thereunto
?
The
second
question
is
onely
of
secondary
meanes
,
whether
there
be
such
as
might
vphold
in
all
&
like
contentment
,
the
Liberties
,
Reputations
,
and
Benefit
of
both
?
Besides
that
I
confesse
,
we
ought
in
duty
to
obserue
his
Maiesties
decrees
whatsoeuer
,
prouided
in
that
behalfe
without
farther
studie
to
our
satisfaction
.
Of
these
two
in
the
second
place
,
and
at
the
first
sight
somewhat
be
spoken
wi●h
a
breath
soaring
in
a
midle
region
,
neither
deprest
to
the
earth
of
your selfe
extraduced
,
neither
ascending
to
paint
the
face
of
the
times
best
fauorites
auro
ouato
with
flattery
?
Answ.
In
the
first
place
that
I
may
onely
differ
in
mine
authoritie
from
the
rest
of
my
countrie
men
,
giue
mee
leaue
to
deriue
his
Maiestie
by
the
history
of
the
Royall
house
of
England
,
written
in
Italian
by
Petruccius
Vbaldine
Cyttadine
of
Florence
for
the
indifferencie
of
his
Nation
,
and
the
reuerence
of
his
testimony
,
who
liued
lately
among
vs
,
translated
by
his
owne
Manuscript
,
and
briefly
abridged
,
as
concerning
our
purpose
onely
,
as
followeth
.
The
deuision
of
the
Koyall
house
of
England
had
his
originall
from
the
sonnes
of
Henry
the
third
,
Edward
and
Edmund
:
It
hath
beene
supposed
by
some
that
Edmund
was
the
elder
,
and
being
crooked
,
Edward
was
preferred
the
easier
before
him
,
which
suggestion
Henry
the
fourth
vsed
to
colour
his
vsurpation
of
the
Crowne
vpon
Richard
the
second
.
This
faction
after
it
burst
out
,
caused
bloody
warres
in
England
,
either
house
prosecuting
the
other
to
the
destruction
of
them
both
;
the
possession
of
the
Crowne
remaining
to
either
according
to
their
force
,
the
fortune
and
fauor
of
the
time
.
This
controuersie
after
God
had
made
vse
therein
to
manifest
his
iust
punishment
of
Edward
the
fourth
in
his
children
,
for
his
cruelty
towards
Henry
the
sixt
,
and
Edward
his
sonne
,
together
with
some
periuries
that
the
histories
impose
vpon
him
and
his
vnnaturall
dealing
towards
his
brother
Clarence
,
was
by
the
plotte
of
Morton
Bishop
of
Elie
taken
away
in
the
performance
of
that
oath
which
he
tooke
of
Henry
of
Richmond
of
the
house
of
Lancaster
,
to
marry
with
Elizabeth
the
sole
heire
of
the
contrary
house
,
after
the
tyrant
Richard
slaine
in
battaile
.
Of
this
Henry
the
seauenth
came
Henry
the
eight
with
his
sisters
,
the
eldest
of
which
being
named
Margaret
,
King
Henry
the
seauenth
in
his
spirit
of
prophecie
,
wherein
he
had
a
peculiar
potencie
(
as
the
history
of
his
dying
makes
mention
)
and
in
his
prouidence
of
reducing
the
two
Kingdomes
of
England
and
Scotland
into
one
entire
Monarchie
,
as
his
owne
hand
writing
left
behinde
him
can
sufficiently
testifie
,
did
match
with
the
Scepter
of
Scotland
,
from
whence
both
by
father
and
mother
after
the
issue
of
Henry
the
eight
,
now
extinct
is
deriued
King
Iames
of
both
Kingdomes
the
immediate
successor
:
who
for
the
constancie
of
his
fauours
,
his
inappetence
of
new
purchase
,
and
his
care
of
husbanding
the
meanes
of
all
his
Dominions
for
their
owne
good
and
preseruation
,
is
liuely
modeled
by
his
grandfather
Henry
the
seauenth
,
whose
example
Vbaldine
commendeth
to
his
successours
for
the
best
forme
of
administring
the
Commonwealth
abroad
,
and
the
houshold
at
home
:
In
his
dayes
the
Nobilitie
wonted
not
to
procure
accesse
through
inferiour
aduocation
,
nor
the
Fabij
to
haue
their
cause
solicited
by
Vinius
bondman
,
or
Nimphidius
verlottes
,
the
Commons
were
yet
inuited
to
contributions
,
but
came
freely
,
nor
the
Exchequer
was
euer
better
stored
with
the
proper
reuenew
,
and
the
exhibition
of
those
offices
which
belonging
thereunto
,
were
confer'd
vpon
the
ministers
which
should
execuse
them
with
his
owne
immediate
hand
,
the
neglect
whereof
hath
beene
the
cause
of
all
the
abuses
of
office
in
this
land
,
when
his
patent
must
come
through
so
many
aduocating
hands
.
Quest.
Now
you
haue
sufficiently
implide
in
the
title
his
prerogatiue
of
vniting
these
two
Kingdomes
,
warranted
and
instanced
both
out
of
holy
writ
,
and
traditionall
reporte
of
Scepters
long
since
translated
with
their
whole
tribes
and
families
,
I
desire
you
to
come
to
the
question
of
their
aptnesse
thereunto
in
the
second
place
?
Answ.
To
prooue
an
Aptnesse
in
the
Scot
to
incorporate
with
the
English
,
let
me
tell
you
what
kinde
of
Aptnesse
is
required
in
this
place
.
For
Aptnesse
of
agreeing
is
either
in
Substance
or
Beautie
.
And
because
there
is
a
generall
Aptnesse
,
or
an
Aptnesse
in
Substance
,
euen
in
the
Scithian
to
incorporate
with
any
the
most
ciuill
nation
,
that
is
,
hauing
in
his
reasonable
soule
matter
malleable
therunto
,
without
farther
immoration
vpon
it
,
I
lay
the
present
proofe
in
Aptnesse
of
the
Beautie
of
their
Maners
,
Lawes
,
and
Language
.
Of
which
the
Beautie
is
to
be
tried
and
examined
by
these
his
two
Trialls
,
Delight
and
Similitude
.
That
his
maners
haue
complacence
&
similitude
of
Beauty
with
ours
of
the
English
in
religious
maners
it
appeares
.
It
being
only
conformable
with
the
English
.
Both
which
the
other
world
remooued
aparte
makes
seeme
one
Cittie
vpon
a
hill
.
In
conuersation
he
delights
vs
the
more
by
how
much
the
liuelier
he
onely
expresseth
our
endeuors
,
and
our
principles
whereby
there
is
discerned
a
mutuall
Aptnesse
,
and
inclination
in
both
,
owing
our
duties
to
the
same
Scepter
to
become
one
entire
,
and
vndistinct
Monarchie
.
Of
Lawes
,
(
Law
ye
fir
)
Iustine
sayes
there
is
no
difference
so
long
as
they
agree
in
the
fundamentall
parts
,
being
executed
Per
eos
Legis
peritos
qui
sunt
honesti
,
studiosi
iustitia
,
non
anari
,
&c.
It
is
some
thing
in
latine
,
which
I
can
not
translate
into
English
I
assure
you
sir.
Of
Language
because
the
difference
is
but
this
,
that
the
English
is
like
a
Denshire
carsie
after
fulling
set
out
with
all
the
arte
of
draperie
to
giue
it
grace
and
glosse
.
And
the
Scottish
vnstarcht
with
inkehorne
,
stage
suiting
conscisenesse
It
can
not
choose
but
delight
the
English
Orator
for
firmnesse
and
soliditie
,
hauing
much
cleanenesse
and
puritie
in
the
written
letter
,
The
Poet
for
descant
vppon
the
first
eliments
of
his
naturall
phrasing
;
and
both
for
very
Aptnes
and
consimilitie
of
sentence
.
Now
for
the
preseruing
of
this
vnion
the
secondarie
meanes
which
occurre
are
either
,
Free
meanes
,
or
Obligatory
and
lesse
free
.
The
free
meanes
are
these
,
Election
and
Confidence
.
First
by
Election
we
shine
in
humanitie
to
select
his
strangenesse
into
fellowship
of
exercising
and
businessing
:
wherein
;
by
desiring
him
well
we
shall
duly
erogate
the
like
from
him
.
The
next
is
to
be
confident
in
our
election
when
wee
excercise
or
businesse
with
him
,
in
freenesse
of
spirite
apertly
;
not
curiously
with
obseruing
into
him
:
wherby
we
shall
challenge
to
discouer
in
his
generous
expansure
(
I
speak
of
their
gentry
chiefly
)
much
cause
of
delight
in
our
choice
,
by
the
plentifull
accommodation
of
his
parts
in
conuerse
.
I
call
these
Free
meanes
because
they
proceed
only
of
libeberall
education
&
nobilitie
in
nature
,
which
are
by
these
two
signes
to
be
distinguished
from
such
soules
as
are
conditions
,
slaues
.
The
Obligatorie
or
lesser
liberall
meanes
,
next
vnder
the
Lawes
,
are
in
Conditions
of
Commercement
,
Seales
of
marriage
,
and
Bonds
of
duty
.
First
,
in
Commercement
,
when
our
thrift
is
implied
and
promised
to
ourbusinesse
with
him
(
as
no
dubt
but
it
carrieth
such
profite
with
it
as
shall
vphold
the
benefite
of
either
in
all
and
like
contentment
.
Secondly
in
Marriage
,
which
being
now
sealed
betwixt
the
sons
and
daughters
,
of
either
is
obligatory
in
nature
after
consummation
,
and
before
in
Couenant
for
the
most
part
.
If
otherwise
,
it
is
a
free
meanes
:
Howsoeuer
,
it
makes
no
lesse
alike
the
liberties
and
reputations
of
either
than
Election
and
Confidence
in
the
●●●●st
converse
that
may
be
.
Wherefore
I
commend
it
to
both
hauing
such
pregnant
aptnes
vpon
their
complexions
and
in
then
dispositions
therevnto
for
the
best
meanes
of
incorporating
and
preseruing
this
vnion
euerlastingly
.
Lastly
,
in
Duty
,
and
to
this
we
are
whipt
&
led
by
the
Animall
motion
of
like
for
like
,
in
Liberties
in
Reputations
,
and
in
Benefite
:
where
there
is
no
difference
(
if
so
please
his
Maiestie
)
of
Franchisement
;
none
of
Heraldry
,
nor
yet
of
Marte
;
both
being
within
the
same
Ocean
both
one
Monarchie
,
and
one
Citty
vpon
a
hill
,
without
confusion
of
Manners
,
Lawes
or
Language
.
Of
this
vnion
,
and
consent
:
to
conclude
with
this
small
taste
of
the
Times
felicitie
,
I
thinke
it
no
giddie
Rapture
in
mee
to
diuine
.
May
both
swell
in
one
maine
,
and
neither
fall
:
That
Sea
will
stretch
to
Romes
high
Capitall
.
