HE
whose
capacitie
hath
caught
things
(
almost
impossible
for
humain
reason
to
reach
)
whose
wit
hath
wonne
the
perfection
of
excellent
enterprises
,
The
best
capacities
may
be
sufficiently
busied
to
beat
but
the
path
of
secrete
mischiefes
.
and
whose
braines
haue
beéne
busied
about
the
haughtyest
attempts
,
may
scarce
compasse
to
contriue
the
subtile
secrecie
of
this
impugnancie
:
which
,
so
resisteth
the
proper
operation
of
natures
decreé
:
that
it
blindeth
it selfe
with
the
hidden
humors
of
vnknowne
enormities
.
How
may
it
then
be
,
that
he
whose
weakenes
(
euery
way
wanteth
the
perseuerance
of
such
importance
)
shoulde
naturally
apply
his
pen
,
Things

to
portray
the
right
&
formall
proportion
of
so
strange
an

?
Except
in
this
,
that
things
of
themselues
composed
prodigious
,
can
hardly
by
the
same
course
be
brought
from
their
pristinate
shape
and
former
frame
.
Rightly
then
may
it
be
regarded
,
that
reason
may
soone
erect
a
thing
,
which
yeéldeth
of
it selfe
no
reasonable
conformitie
,
The
partiall
&
rash
iudgement
of
grosse
and
feeble
capacities
.
There
needes
no
reprehension
causelesse
where
the
enormitie
is
well
knowne
.
The
simple
barke
but
byte
not
.
but
rather
a
preposterous
enormitie
.
To
what
iudgement
may
I
then
appeale
the
indifferencie
of
my
intent
?
If
to
the
generall
sort
,
(
without
an
exception
)
the
dulnes
of
their
silence
hath
already
condemned
me
.
If
to
some
in
particular
(
whose
qualitie
conteineth
a
iudiciall
voyce
)
I
trust
I
shall
neither
(
with
the

)
haue
my
legs
broken
for

before
I
espye

of

(
though
they
want
teéth

Relying
my selfe
then
vpon
the
chalenged
choyse
of
my
friendly
Interpretors
,
I
must
take
a
little

of

To
adorne

,
with
the
golden

of

,
with

of

When

with

,
their

vnrippe

secrete
closure
of

hollowe

Then
,
tell

Then
sound

foorth

Some

Some

A

displaies
the
hatred
of
his

:
that
(
growing
in
Odium
with
his
natiue
soyle
)
he
seékes
some
other
line
wherby
he
may
direct
the
course
of
his

.
Thus
(
imitating
the
Ape
)
the
Englishman
killeth
his
owne
with
culling
,
and
prefers
the
corruption
of
a
forraine
Nation
,
before
the
perfection
of
his
owne
profession
.
This
secret
mischiefe
(
seéming

)
in

intendeth
to

This

of
such
painted

(
which
Art

:
not
Nature

)
shall
be
found
(
in

)
as
the
Figge
treé
,
which
is
said
to
depriue
a
Bull
(
being
thereunto
bound
)
of
his
naturall
strength
.
Howe
hatefull
will
it
hereafter
seéme
to
our selues
,
when
the
bowels
of
that
place
which
brought
vs
foorth
,
our
Countrey
that
nourisht
vs
(
for
which
euery
member
is
borne
to

)
expecting
helpe
at
our
hands
our
condition
then
to
be
so
altered
,
our
manners
transformed
,
our
estates
so
estranged
,
and
our
dueties
so
disguised
with
the
spotted
imitation
of
other
Nations
,
that
we
shal
cleane
forgette
to
temper
the
proffered
time
,
with
the
naturall
benefite
of
our
owne
common
good
.
Then
,
may
we
mocke
at
our
owne
manners
,
and
stand
amazed
at
the
difference
of
our
former
demeanors
.
Such
is
the
contemptuous
condition
of
these
Imitators
:
that
there
is
not
any
vice
particularly
noted
in
any
Country
,
The
cunning
conceit
of
an
Englishman
in
framing
himselfe
to
the
forme
of
all
fashions
.
but
the
Englishman
will
be
therein
as
exquisite
,
as
if
he
had
Nature
at
commaunde
for
euery
enormity
.
If
it
be
in
Creete
,
he
can
lye
,
if
in
Italy
,
flatter
,
if
in
Fraunce
,
boast
,
if
in
Scotland
cloake
the
treachery
of
pretended
treason
,
which
hauing
gathered
,
and
fraught
himselfe
ful
of
this
wealthy
treasure
:
He
louingly
bringeth
his
merchandize
into
his
natiue
Country
,
and
there
storeth
with
instruction
the
false
affectors
of
this
tedious
trash
.
Hence
commeth
it
to
passe
that
our
Englishmen
blinded
(
with
an
Italian
disguise
)
&
disfiguring
themselues
(
with
euery
French
fashion
)
corrupt
their
naturall
manners
,
(
by
their
climate
created
perfect
)
with
the
peéuysh
pelfe
of
euery
Peacokes
plume
,
(
and
lyke
as
Aesopes
Dawe
)
bedecke
them selues
with
others
deformity
.
The
English
man
deckes
himselfe
with
euery
ones
deformitie
.
Thus
continuall
strife
to
frame
a
vniformity
of
inwarde
condition
to
externall
habite
breédeth
such
intollerable
inconuenience
:
that
wee
seéme
rather
the
men
,
which
nature
hath
marked
for
a
prodigious
spectacle
of
her
contrary
opinions
,
then
a

,
where

,
and
peaceable
gouernement
swayeth
with
lawe
,
and
equitie
.
Looke

into
the
disposition

sensuall
appetite
dulleth

euery

Where
we
shall
finde
such
an

of

,
such
a

such

such
a

aunswere

caryed

with

yet
doe
they
continually
keépe

neither

There
external
habite
continually
keépeth

contemning
others
as

If

of
this

contempt
borne

fostered
amongst

The

orignall
therof
is

the
creation
of

extirpe
the

This
is
not

from

it

is
yet
another

more
preposterous
then
this
,
An other

that
practise

though
it
seémeth
lesse
because
the

are
weaker
,
and
therefore
the
lesse
able
to
withstand
the

of

:
Yet
viewe
it

finde
it

The

but
they
were
rather
admirde

,
then
pointed
at
for
vanitie
,
so
●arre
that
nothing
seémed
more
odious
vnto
them
,
then
to
vncouer
their

for

,
counting
it
a

to

and
so
much
did
they
hate
to
gad
about

into

that
it
was

that
euery

which
knocked

How

appeared
vnto

her

So

but
to

Whence
proceeded
I
pray
these
gadding
feagaries
of
our
English
dames
but
from
their
decking
with
vnspeakeable
pride
:
For
being
colloured
wyth

therefore
spotted
with
shamelesse
immodesty
then
daintely
treade

the

The

of

wisedome
then
would
a

looke

thereof
,
wee
should
then
beholde

of

(
suppressed

now
contayning
a
disseuering
of
estates
,
by
reason
of
monstruous
pryde
,
that
a
man
may
well
tearme
it
a
secret
dissention
in
the
mindes
of
many
in
studying
and
striuing
to
exceéde

another
in
the
pompous
shew

In
somuch
that
it
may
be
thus
very
well
defined
.
A
definition
of
pride
.
A
secrete
seducer
to
deadly
sin
,
an
enticer
to
euery
enormity
,
a
sower
of
priuy
dissention
,
the
author
of
mallice
the
maintayner
of
adoultry
,
the
enimy
to
humanity
,
the
beginner
of
all
mischiefe
,
and
the
conclusion
of
vtter
confusion
.
The
maydes
of
Athens
were
sayd
with
the
Snailes
to
carry
their
housen
on
theyr
backes
,
The
maides
of
Athens
compared
vnto
Snales
,
because
they
caried
their
housen
on
their
backes
continually
tarrying
at
home
.
and
that
for
many
causes
,
in
respect
that
it
was
ordayned
none
of
them
should
stir
into
the
city
,
except
their
feete
were
bare
,
and
their
faces
couered
,
their
attyre
meruaylous
homely
,
&
their
haire
in
steéde
of
imbrodering
,
tyed
vp
with
a
rude
hairelace
,
and
bounde
vp
in
a
course
cloth
:
whereby
the
grauity
of
their
counsellors
intended
,
that
least
they
should
seduce
with
the
inticing
beauty
of
their
faire
blossome
,
the
younge
men
of
Athens
,
These
faire
blossomes
wil
entice
mens
eyes
.
giuing
them selues
to
the
vertuous
study
of
philosophy
,
they
should
either
content
them selues
in
their
housen
at
home
,
or
els
bar
them
from
pride
in
going
abroade
.
If
such
orders
were
taken
in
England
then
,
(
whereas
now
the
streats
flocke
with
lasciuious
Dames
,
the
dust
raised
with
many
a
Peacocks
plume
)
there
would
be
keépers
vigilantly
watching
their
owne
housen
,
Would
England
were
like
to
Athens
.
&
instructing
them selues
in
the
honest
point
of
godly
conuersation
:
whereas
now
,
euery
stage
stayres
at
their
folly
,
&
euery
gallery
doth
behold
vanity
,
containing
the
impurity
of
their
imperfection
:

These

I
am
neither
so
vureuerent
,
nor
stoycall
as
to
condemne
all
,
or
to
commend
none
.
For
as
pretious
stones
in
essence
all
of
one
name
and
nature
,
haue
notwithstanding
some
,
which
in
pretious
estimacion
excell
other
,
so
no
doubt
are
there
in
England
,
many
modest
,
wise
▪
godly
virgines
,
wyues
,
The
diffrence
of
women
,
some
excelling
in
all
vertue
.
&
widowes
,
against
whose
vertue
if
I
should
kick
,
I
might
be
said
to
reprehend
the
brightnes
of
the
sunne
for
extending
his
beames
as
much
on
the
fruitelesse
weédes
as
on
the
fruitfull
flowers
:
on
the
filthy
dunghill
,
as
the
profitable
crop
of
corne
.
But
as
the
viewe
of
their
secret
poyson
causeth
me
to
mislike
the
one
,
so
the
bright
shew
of
shyning
vertue
,
in
duety
compelles
me
to
commend
the
other
.
Of
which
sorte
there
is
one
as
the
Phoenix
,
The
Phaenix
of
the
world
.
endelesse
in
glory
,
and
matchlesse
in
mortall
maiesty
:
At
whose
illustrate
Lampe
may
our
foolish
virgins
borrow
oyle
,
&
by
hee
light
direct
the
course
of
their
life
,
Elizabeth
,
that
bright
and
illustrate
Lampe
.
thither
where
her
name
is
already
eternized
,
to
beare
a
light
before
the
holy
lambe
:
But
mighty
Iehoua
let
thy
seruant
yet
liue
till
shee
guide
to
thy
tabernacle
,
her
flock
of
Israell
.
Stand
still
her
candlesticke
,
and
lighten
all
the
earth
,
that
when
she
goes
,
wee
may
for
company
sing
Alleluya
to
thy
maiesty
.
Now
giue
me
leaue
a
litle
in
fewe
lines
to
conclude
with
an
exhortation
vnto
all
estates
,
An
exhorting
conclusion
.
and
permit
mee
to
say
with
Byas
:
Oh
men
bewitched
,
whether
wander
your
mindes
shut
vp
in
closure
of
vile
vanity
,
encompast
with
ambition
,
ready
to
yeélde
your
soules
slaues
vnto
wretched
sinne
,
whether
(
I
say
)
as
Pilgrims
wander
you
?
Feare
yeé
not
to
fall
climbing
so
high
?
Shame
yee
not
to
sinne
when
euery
one
beholdeth
your
deformity
?
Is
your
peruersnes
like
the
Indian
collour
,
neuer
to
be
altered
?
Is
your
vile
immitation
endelesse
?
Then
is
the
wrath
of
God
remedilesse
.
Let
euery
one
commune
with
his
secret
hart
,
&
search
the
secrets
of
his
inward
soule
.
Uiew
euery
one
the
deformity
of
his
owne
state
,
then
shall
we
finde
such
wilfull
blindnesse
,
groping
in
the
light
as
if
it
were
darke
,
and
delighting
in
darknesse
as
if
it
were
perfect
light
.
Foreseé
I
say
,
for
shame
I
say
foresee
,
the
daunger
of
the
fiery
sword
(
that
sometimes
hunge
ouer
the
faire
Hierusa●em
,
the
city
of
our
God
)
prepared
vnawares
to
cutte
our
throates
.
Oh
England
,
nourced
with
Mylke
,
and
honney
,
fedde
with
Manna
:
why
staruest
thou
hauing
such
plenty
?
or
why
flyest
thou
from
him
which
seéketh
theé
.
Gather
your

flocks
together
,
on
the
mounts
of
Olyuet
the
place
of
peace
