most
Famous
Pirats

they
lived

In
the
time

Chap.
1.
Of
the
power
of
Iustice
.
IUstice
is
a
vertue
that
giveth
no
man
any
or
the
least
priviledge
to
defraude
another
,
of
that
which
he
may
call
his
owne
;
besides
she
is
figured
like
a
Uirgin
,
who
giveth
to
all
men
what
is
theirs
,
by
even
and
equall
proportions
:
The
Philosophers
make
foure
sorts
thereof
;
the
first
they
call
Caelestiall
which
is
Divine
,
the
second
Naturall
,
which
consisteth
in
our selves
;
the
third
Civell
;
the
fourth
Iudiciall
:
The
first
which
is
called
Celestiall
,
is
defined
to
be
a
true
and
exact
consideration
,
with
an
humble
&
dutifull
acknowledgement
of
God
.
Naturall
Iustice
is
that
which
is
borne
with
us
,
and
every
man
hath
in
himselfe
by
nature
;
that
which
we
call
Civill
,
consisteth
either
of
what
our
owne
best
condition
stirrs
and
prompts
us
to
doe
,
or
what
the
suffrage
of
the
people
,
the
the
consultation
of
the
Senate
;
the
will
and
power
of
Princes
,
or
the
Authority
of
grave
and
wise
men
,
inioynes
us
to
kéepe
and
observe
.
Iudiciall
is
that
which
propperly
belongeth
to
the
Bench
,
&
is
grounded
upon
Statutes
&
Lawes
;
instituted
and
made
for
the
benefit
and
profit
of
the
Common-weale
,
to
the
depression
of
vice
,
and
incouragement
of
vertue
.
Chap.
2.
Wherefore
the
Lawes
were
made
.
NOw
to
see
these
things
faithfully
and
punctuall
kept
,
were
the
Lawes
first
devised
and
ordained
;
the
vertues
whereof
,
are
to
beare
sway
powerfully
to
restraine
and
forbid
things
gently
,
to
punish
and
chastice
Malefactors
severely
;
but
errors
committed
by
ignorance
,
fo
censure
mercifully
:
under
these
foure
heads
may
our
inioyned
obedience
to
the
Law
be
comprehended
,
which
is
also
by
the
Law
strictly
imposed
:
namely
,
to
live
honestly
,
to
hurt
no
man
willingly
;
to
render
every
man
his
owne
carefully
,
and
to
extort
from
no
man
forcibly
:
It
further
tyeth
us
,
to
love
our
Prince
loyally
,
to
keepe
his
Lawes
cheerefully
;
to
defend
our
Country
valiantly
,
and
to
provide
for
our
particular
families
indulgently
:
Besides
,
the
rigour
of
the
Law
was
devised
to
no
other
end
,
but
to
curbe
,
and
bridle
those
refractory
&
rebellious
spirits
,
who
else
would
live
without
all
regularity
or
reason
;
for
these
three
things
are
chiefely
to
be
acknowledg●●
,
and
obeyed
▪
with
all
one
God
,
one
King
;
one
Law
:
and
whosoever
breaketh
one
of
them
,
transgresseth
in
all
:
for
God
hath
the
sole
&
absolute
power
in
himselfe
,
who
saith
obey
the
King
:
He
hath
also
a
Uice-royall
Regency
from
his
Creator
,
(
whose
substitute
he
is
)
and
He
saith
obey
the
Law
;
&
therefore
,
these
ministers
under
him
,
to
whom
power
is
given
to
execute
the
law
,
have
their
authority
from
above
;
as
not
to
be
murmured
at
,
or
any
way
opposed
.
Now
,
of
two
famous
Pirats
I
am
to
frame
my
discourse
,
Purser
,
and
Clinton
;
whose
irregular
&
and
illegall
lives
,
as
they
were
notoriously
famous
,
so
their
deaths
and
ends
w●re
as
remarkably
infamous
.
Chap.

All
ill
actions
ought
to
be
awarded
.
EUery
bad
attempt
and
evill
performance
,
beget
not
onely
shame
,
and
infamy
,
which
gall
the
conscience
before
death
,
and
survive
long
after
death
;
for
they
are
dyde
of
so
déepe
a
colour
,
that
they
are
very
difficultly
to
bee
washed
off
by
oblivion
:
He
that
by
any
dishonest
act
shall
lose
his
good
name
,
draweth
himselfe
into
a
wretched
and
miserable
predicament
;
for
good
men
will
not
beléeve
him
,
bad
men
will
not
obey
him
;
few
men
that
will
accompany
him
,
no
man
at
all
will
befriend
him
:
They
that
accustome
themselves
to
swime
in
vice
,
there
is
no
commiseration
to
be
taken
of
them
if
they
sinke
in
vanity
.
Cicero
inveighing
against
Cateline
,
saith
;
that
his
naughty
and
infamous
life
,
hath
not
onely
defamed
himselfe
,
but
so
obscured
the
glory
of
his
predecessors
;
that
though
they
before
had
béene
of
great
name
and
eminence
,
in
the
City
and
Common-weale
,
yet
hee
had
drown'd
all
their
vertues
in
Laethe
,
and
buried
them
in
darke
forgetfulnesse
:
Better
it
is
for
a
man
to
dye
for
vertues
sake
,
than
to
live
with
dishonour
.
To
shut
up
all
this
monitory
counsaile
in
a
word
,
I
conclude
with
Solon
;
Wretched
and
most
infortunate
is
that
man
,
whose
life
the
people
mourne
and
lamrnt
;
and
at
whose
death
they
Clappe
their
hands
and
rejoyce
.
Chap.

Of
all
the
famous
men
of
Warre
,
and
Pirats
which
have
lived
:
and
the
occasion
of
Ships
of
Warre
.
OF
Land-theeves
I
have
no
purpose
to
speake
at
all
,
but
onely
of
those
called
Piratae
,
that
is
,
Sea-rovers
;
or
men
of
Warre
,
but
most
commonly
called
Pirats
:
purposing
to
give
you
a
briefe
tast
of
some
few
forrei●●e
,
before
I
come
to
those
more
domestick
;
that
by
comparing
the
one
with
the
other
,
it
may
manifestly
appeare
,
which
of
them
have
excelled
or
(
more
propperly
)
erceeded
the
other
.
Lucan
remembreth
us
of
one
Basilius
an
arch
robber
by
Sea
,
and
the
same
Author
in
the
list
of
those
Marine
Rovers
,
reckoneth
Sextus
Pompeinus
the
Son
of
Pompey
the
great
,
in
these
or
the
like
words
:
Sextus
,
of
Pompey
who
was
cald
the
great
,
Th'
unworthy
Son
;
banisht
his
native
seate
To
the
Syllaean
Seas
:
did
triumph
there
,
A
famous
Pirate
;
such
as
had
no
Peere
,
&c.
One
Ninus
was
his
Uice-admirall
,
&
under
him
,
and
by
his
countenance
commanded
all
the
Italian
Seas
,
pillaging
and
robbing
the
maritine
coasts
thereof
;
not
onely
to
the
great
hurt
and
dammage
of
the
Marchants
,
whose
course
say
through
the
Adriatick
Sea
,
but
infested
sundry
Coasts
,
by
landing
on
divers
continents
,
burning
and
spoyling
all
the
Sea-bordering
Townes
,
and
Uillages
;
insomuch
that
by
this
inhumane
cruelty
,
they
were
left
desolate
and
uninhabited
.
Of
the
same
function
and
rebellious
condition
was
one
Curpulus
,
deboucht
in
his
life
,
and
infamous
in
his
actions
:
and
another
cald
Icaron
,
who
had
not
onely
equald
,
but
rather
super
exceeded
the
former
in
his
direptions
and
robberies
:
parraleld
with
these
may
be
Rhotho
,
and
Rhotones
,
both
Rutenians
;
who
troubled
both
Land
and
Sea
,
with
almost
unheard
of
rapine
and
cruelty
;
to
whom
we
may
adde
onely
Thorias
,
and
Bezo
:
Many
other
of
the
like
condition
,
who
lived
in
the
former
ages
,
and
places
remoate
:
I
might
very
opportunely
here
introduce
,
whom
for
brevities
sake
I
omit
,
&c.
Yet
to
shew
how
ancient
this
sea-theeving
hath
bin
,
and
even
upon
our
owne
Coasts
:
We
reade
that
King
Edgar
being
the
thirtieth
King
from
Brute
,
amongst
other
of
his
politicke
actions
,
used
in
the
Summer
season
to
scower
the
Seas
with
certaine
ships
of
warre
,
to
free
the
foure
Seas
of
pirats
,
and
robbers
,
who
much
troubled
the
Land
;
and
against
winter
hee
made
provision
,
to
lay
the
said
ships
in
sure
&
safe
harbours
,
and
havens
;
and
had
ever
in
his
owne
service
,
and
billited
in
the
houses
of
his
Lords
and
Peeres
,
a
certaine
number
of
Souldiers
,
Pilots
,
and
Mariners
,
that
were
ever
at
present
command
,
when
the
King
had
any
use
of
them
;
his
Ship-masters
also
were
in
wages
with
him
through
out
the
yeare
,
that
ever
attended
those
Ships
,
to
see
that
nothing
were
wanting
;
by
meanes
whereof
he
kept
his
Land
in
great
peace
&
quietnes
,
free
from
the
danger
of
all
forreigne
enemies
.
It
is
also
reported
of
this
King
Edgar
,
by
divers
approved
and
Authentick
Cronologers
,
that
upon
a
time
being
at
Chester
,
hee
entred
the
river
of
Dee
,
and
sitting
in
a
new
barge
for
that
purpose
,
hee
himselfe
tooke
the
charge
of
the
helme
,
and
was
the
steares-man
;
and
was
rowed
by
eight
Contributary
Kings
which
hée
commanded
to
row
him
up
and
downe
the
Riunto
the
Church
of
St.
Thomas
,
and
from
thence
backe
againe
to
his
owne
Pallace
;
to
shew
that
he
was
sole
Soveraigne
of
so
many
provinces
:
amongst
them
was
numbred
a
Romane
Arch
pirate
,
whom
hee
surprised
;
who
was
called
Maxentius
,
and
after
was
Elected
Emperour

and
did
much
dammage
to
the

insomuch
that
the
King
prepared
a
fleete
to

him
,
and
met
with
him
uppon
the
Coast
of

,
where
betwixt

Chap.

Of
the
first
acquaintance
of
Purser
and
Clinton
,
and
how
they
began
their
attempt
to
rob
the
Merchants
Ships
,
and
others
from
time
to
time
:
and
of
their
bold
carriage
,
and
state
they
kept
in
their
Shippe
.
I
Come
now
to
speake
of
those
two
parties
proposed
for
my
second
discourse
,
(
omitting
many
since
their
dayes
,
notorious
for
pyracy
as
the
Dutch
Danseter
,
and
of
our
owns
Nation
Bishop
&
Ward
,
who
turned
renegade
,
&
after
lived
amongst
the
Turkes
,
with
others
:
)
namely
Purser
,
so
commonly
cald
because
he
had
béene
Purser
of
one
of
her
Maiesties
Ships
Royall
,
whose
name
was
Thomas
Walton
,
and
Clinton
,
who
was
an
apprentise
in
the
upper
part
of
new
Fish-street
Hill
,
who
utterly
abandoning
his
former
Trade
,
gave
his
minde
onely
to
Sea
,
turned
Navigator
,
and
in
severall
Merchants
ships
,
had
made
sundry
Commodious
and
prosperous
voyages
,
in
which
hée
so
applyed
himselfe
to
the
Compasse
,
that
he
was
able
to
guid
or
conduct
any
Shippe
to
all
the
parts
of
Christendome
or
further
,
and
bring
her
backe
againe
.
These
two
béeing
growne
into
familiar
acquaintance
,
and
both
of
them
of
haughty
and
ambitious
spirits
,
having
divers
meetings
,
they
at
length
began
to
discourse
betwixt
themselves
,
that
in
regard
of
their
experience
and
skill
in
Navigation
,
what
basenesse
it
was
in
them
to
bée
no
better
than
servants
,
who
had
both
the
Iudgement
,
and
ability
to
command
,
and
to
bée
onely
Imployed
to
benefit
and
inrich
others
,
whilst
they
in
the
Interim
wanted
themselves
:
They
further
reasoned
that
service
was
no
heritage
,
and
that
in
regard
they
had
eyther
of
them
béene
more
than
a
prentiship
to
learne
their
Art
,
it
was
now
high
time
to
be
freemen
of
the
Sea
,
and
set
up
for
theteselves
:
This
was
soone
concluded
on
,
but
how
might
bee
as
easily
compassed
,
there
lay
the
difficulty
.
To
take
oft
which
,
they
often
consulted
together
,
but
still
when
any
likely
proiect
offered
it selfe
unto
them
,
the
way
to
accomplish
it
did
more
and
more
perplexe
them
:
Insomuch
that
since
likelihoods
faild
them
,
they
would
determine
upon
impossibilities
,
and
rather
then
not
to
bée
seen
in
the
eye
of
the
world
resolute
,
they
would
appeare
desperate
:
the
one
alleadging
that
courage
begun
with
a
deliberate
constancy
,
and
continued
without
change
,
doth
seldome
or
never
faile
.
The
other
seconding
it
thus
,
that
valour
Conquers
the
enemy
before
the
field
be
fought
;
and
moreover
,
the
courage
of
a
man
is
seene
in
the
resolution
of
his
death
,
concluding
,
that
thunder
terrifieth
Children
,
and
threatnings
feare
fooles
;
but
nothing
can
affright
or
dismay
such
as
are
of
courage
and
resolution
:
to
whom
the
former
replide
,
that
they
were
confident
in
their
purpose
,
that
the
dye
was
already
cast
,
and
it
was
a
meane
folly
for
a
man
to
feare
that
which
hee
cannot
shun
;
and
who
so
feareth
every
storme
or
tempest
,
is
neither
fit
for
to
bee
a
Traveller
or
a
Souldier
.
Thus
having
one
heartned
and
incouraged
the
other
,
as
first
to
win
gold
and
after
to
weare
gold
(
according
to
the
Proverbe
)
they
made
a
voyage
to
Plimmonth
,
where
they
sounded
many
discontented
saylers
,
and
acquainting
them
with
their
purpose
,
drew
them
with
much
facility
into
their
faction
:
And
promising
to
themselves
golden
mountaines
,
who
had
before
grazed
upon
barraine
mole
hils
,
they
had
got
a
gathering
together
of
some
fifty
tall
fellowes
,
every
one
provided
with
a
good
Musket
,
and
aiming
at
a
small
Barke
,
which
lay
then
well
victualed
,
and
sufficiently
provided
in
the
roade
,
they
surprised
her
in
the
night
,
weighed
Anchor
,
and
away
they
went
to
Sea
to
try
a
desperate
fortune
;
which
for
the
present
so
smiled
upon
them
,
that
within
few
dayes
they
met
with
a
Spanish
Merchant
,
well
laden
,
and
indifferently
provided
of
Ordnance
,
with
other
sea
munition
,
who
making
no
shew
of
opposition
,
and
the
other
not
minding
them
in
regard
of
the
smalnesse
of
their
Barke
,
they
came
up
so
close
by
them
,
that
finding
themselves
by
reason
of
their
lownesse
of
the
vessell
,
and
the
talenesse
of
the
other
,
to
bee
out
of
the
danger
of
her
Ordnance
,
they
suddenly
,
ere
the
other
were
well
aware
,
clapt
close
to
her
side
,
and
every
one
of
them
having
his
Musket
ready
charged
,
they
boorded
her
without
any
great
resistance
;
a
sudden
feare
in
the
one
,
and
a
predicated
resolution
in
the
other
,
being
greatly
to
their
advantage
.
And
now
being
so
well
accommodated
with
a
vessell
,
victuall
,
and
Ordnance
;
they
thought
themselves
to
be
halfe
Lords
at
the
sea
,
for
there
was
scarsly
any
sayle
they
met
with
,
which
(
trusting
to
their
courage
and
fortune
)
they
did
not
thinke
themselves
able
to
incounter
with
:
and
where
those
two
meet
and
conspire
together
,
what
is
unpossible
,
not
onely
to
be
attempted
,
but
almost
compassed
.
The
second
they
met
with
was
a
Turkish
man
of
Warre
,
and
though
of
no
extraordinary
great
burthen
,
yet
well
man'd
,
and
furnisht
with
all
munition
,
necessary
for
a
Pirate
and
sea-robber
;
the
one
haled
the
other
,
both
were
alike
resolute
,
and
neither
of
them
willing
to
strike
sayle
,
and
now
here
was
thiefe
robbe
thiefe
;
a
cruell
fight
was
begun
,
and
the
victory
uncertaine
to
whom
it
would
fall
,
some
were
slaine
on
both
sides
:
but
at
length
a
fortunate
shot
from
the
English
,
split
the
maine
sayle
of
the
Turkish
vessell
,
by
which
they
were
made
unable
to
sayle
,
and
being
suddenly
becalm'd
were
ready
to
stand
at
the
others
mercy
:
This
put
spirit
in
the
one
,
and
feare
in
the
other
;
for
fly
they
could
not
,
no
stand
out
they
were
not
able
,
and
to
yeeld
they
were
loath
;
in
this
detraction
and
demurre
,
came
another
shot
from
the
English
,
and
strooke
the
Turke
betweene
wind
and
water
,
which
made
all
their
hearts
to
sinke
as
low
as
their
heeles
,
and
theirs
of
the
adverse
party
,
to
mount
as
hye
as
from
their
breast
unto
their
braines
,
crying
aloud
Saint
George
,
and
a
maine
for
the
Queene
of
England
,
and
withall
grapled
with
her
,
and
made
a
bold
attempt
to
board
her
soone
,
but
small
opposition
was
made
in
the
entry
;
for
their
ship
being
by
reason
of
the
former
leake
redy
to
founder
,
they
thought
it
more
safe
to
stand
to
the
mercy
of
men
,
than
to
trust
to
the
unplacable
fury
of
the
sea
:
But
they
found
small
comfort
in
either
,
for
the
English
being
now
Uictors
,
they
hanged
up
the
Captaine
and
prime
officers
of
the
maine
yard
,
in
regard
they
found
them
to
be
Infidels
,
with
some
other
;
the
rest
they
kept
as
slaves
to
helpe
to
man
both
vessels
,
dispersing
some
in
the
one
,
and
some
into
the
other
,
because
by
that
meanes
they
might
have
the
better
command
of
them
:
and
having
stopped
the
leake
,
and
pumped
the
ship
dry
,
they
repaired
their
Mast
,
and
now
they
were
Masters
and
owners
of
two
sufficient
and
able
vessels
.
If
they
before
were
bold
,
the
successe
of
this
second
victory
made
them
insolent
;
and
now
no
single
shippe
whom
they
thought
they
were
able
to
over-master
,
could
escape
them
unrifled
and
unrob'd
,
still
changing
their
vessels
when
they
could
meet
with
any
more
commodious
for
their
use
,
and
taking
out
of
them
such
Marriners
as
they
thought
most
able
to
manne
them
,
swearing
them
to
their
owne
faction
;
till
at
length
they
had
si
vs
lusty
and
tall
ships
at
their
command
,
&
all
bravely
accommodated
,
insomuch
that
they
had
their
Admirall
,
Uice-admirall
,
and
reare-Admirall
,
&c.
Some
times
they
kept
along
the
Coast
of
Spaine
,
sometimes
they
watched
in
the
mouth
of
the
Straights
,
not
sparing
Spaniard
,
Fleming
,
French-man
,
Scot
,
Biskaine
,
nay
,
their
owne
Countrimen
;
and
still
what
Merchandise
and
commodities
they
robbed
upon
one
Coast
,
they
vended
on
another
,
insomuch
that
within
two
or
three
yeares
they
were
infinitely
rich
,
not
a
Saylor
amongst
them
of
what
low
degree
soever
,
but
could
show
his
Barbary
Cheekens
,
Flemish
Angels
,
English
Rose
Nobles
,
French
Cardecues
,
Italian
Duckets
,
Spanish
Pistolets
,
and
peices
of
Eight
in
plenty
,
for
the
Pillage
which
they
had
got
and
sold.
