VOX
MILITIS
,
FORESHEWING
WHAT
PERILLES
ARE
PROCVRED
WHERE
THE
PEOPLE
OF
THIS
OR
any
other
kingdome
,
liue
without
regard
of
Marshall
Discipline
:
especially
,
when
they
stand
and
behold
their
Neighbours
and
Friends
in
apparent
daunger
,
&
almost
destroyed
by
their
enemies
vniust
persecution
,
and
not
to
assist
them
.
IT
is
free
from
all
doubt
or
suspicion
that
multitudes
may
coniecture
me
to
haue
suffered
more
then
sufficient
trauaile
in
this
enterprise
:
To
wit
,
This
description
of
Warres
&
Martiall
affaires
,
primarily
in
regard
that
they
haue
euer
had
the
estimation
of
plagues
and
punishments
,
and
to
the
Palats
of
some
persons
apprehension
are
so
distastfull
,
that
it
is
the
most
pernicious
,
superlatiue
,
and
malignant
of
all
mischiefes
,
being
aswell
accompted
an
affliction
to
the
harmelesse
as
to
the
hurtfull
,
to
the
innocent
as
to
the
iniurious
:
for
by
it
wholesome
lawes
and
salutiferous
Precepts
are
violated
,
Humanity
defaced
,
Iustice
peruerted
and
suppressed
,
Pious
places
are
prophaned
,
Horryd
murthers
committed
,
vndefiled
Virgins
desloured
,
chast
modest
Matrons
defiled
,
spacious
Kingdomes
subuerted
,
great
Cities
subdued
and
ruinated
.
As
Numace
admired
for
the
valour
,
Corinth
famous
for
the
magnificence
,
Thebes

for
the
statelinesse
of
the

.
delicate

,
Athens

,
Contentious
Carthage
,
Antwerp
,
and
in
this
our
moderne
and
miserable
age
,
Prague
the
Palatinate
,
and
Breda
now
languishing
in
the
like
misery
,
the
which
with
diuers
of
her
companyons
by
the
meanes
of
warres
haue
bin
sacked
and
spoyled
,
robbed
and
ruinated
,
&
oftentimes
layd
wast
and
desolate
,
and
therefore
it
is
but
meerely
a
punishment
inflicted
by
God
,
vpon
some
place
for
some
notable
sinne
and
heauy
affliction
,
being
vsed
of
him
as
a
corasiue
to
eate
out
the
dead
flesh
of
security
,
the
onely
meanes
to
humble
vs
for
our
owne
sinnes
,
and
to
reduce
vs
from
the
following
of
our
owne
corruptions
to
the
fauouring
of
Christian
religion
.
A
Secondary
cause
which
induceth
me
to
suspect
,
that
this
my
work
is
likely
to
be
rackt
with
many
a
rash
censure
,
is
this
,
viz.
That
as
it
is
obuious
in
it selfe
:
so
it
is
odious
in
respect
of
the
instruments
which
are
vsed
in
it
,
as
the
professors
and
followers
of
it
are
in
such
meane
respect
and
estimation
,
as
they
are
rather
deemed
sit
for
Ruffians
,
Roy
sters
,
and
people
of
a
vile
abiect
condition
,
rather
then
an
exercise
for
honest
holy
men
of
conscionable
conuersation
:
who
neyther
beare
any
zeale
to
Gods
glory
,
nor
any
affection
to
theyr
brothers
good
:
in
so
much
as
it
is
Cornelius
Agrippas
assertion
,
that
if
you
desire
to
see
a
true
Tyrant
,
a
Prophaner
,
or
a
Murtherer
,
a
Robber
,
a
Rauisher
,
a
Desiourer
,
if
you
would
haue
all
these
seuerall
conditions
in
one
singular
person
,
and
if
you
desire
to
include
all
this
matter
in
one
word
,
it
is
comprehended
in
this
one
name
Souldier
.
But
to
the
end
we
may
addresse
our
Treatie
to
our
intended
Subiect
,
viz.
WARR
,
because
I
know
many
be
so
scrupulous
and
tender
consciences
,
as
they
deeme
them
absolutely
vnlawfull
.
I
held
it
not
fruitelesse
and
of
no
small
import
and
consequence
to
produce
some
proofe
,
aswell
out
of
Scripture
as
other
wryters
,
to
shew
the
lawfullnesse
and
good
approbation
of
Military
proceedings
euen
by
God
himselfe
.
I
could
here
produce
whole
cloudes
of
Testymonies
out
of
Scripture
for
the
confirmation
of
the
trneth
of
this
position
:
to
proue
that
warres
haue
beene
acceptable
before
the
Maiesty
of
God
,
and
sometimes
of
more
preuailence
then
peace
,
as
it
appeareth
more
cleerely
,
then
the
Meridian
light
,
in
the
second
Chapter
of
the
Booke
of
the
Iudges
,
where
the
children
of
Israel
were
reproued
,
for
concluding
a
peace
with
the
Cananites
,
neither
hath
onely
approbation
by
the
Scriptures
,
but
is
also
receiued
as
a
lawfull
proceeding
by
diuers
other
famous
Authours
,
and
that
it
is
not
onely
conuenient
,
but
necessary
for
Princes
to
make
a
breach
of
amity
,
that
they
might
better
make
a
confirmation
of
inuiolable
friendship
,
that
their
loue
might
be
like
a
limme
which
being
broken
and
well
set
,
becomes
more
strong
and
stable
;
and
it
is
a
Warre
most
worthily
initiated
,
whereby
the
security
and
safety
of
the
States
effected
,
and
on
the
contrary
that
peace
is
not
well
permitted
,
but
most
pernicious
,
which
is
the
mother
and
causer
of
the
peoples
perill
,
and
the
Countries
hazard
:
And
that
true
mirror
of
eloquence
,
Cicero
,
telles
vs
;
Ad
hunc
finem
bella
suscipimus
vt
cum
pace
&
sine
iniuria
viuimus
,
To
this
end
wee
vndertake
warres
,
that
we
may
enioy
peace
without
iniury
:
and
in
another
place
of
the
same
Booke
,
writing
to
the
same
purpose
;
We
must
in
matters
of
aduice
not
so
denie
warre
,
as
to
neglect
our
owne
welfare
:
And
one
saith
no
lesse
pithily
then
prettily
,
Bellum
bello
susceptum
bellum
est
;
Warres
well
vndertaken
,
are
good
and
lawfull
,
for
as
we
must
be
cautelous
not
vpon
euery
light
occasion
to
vndertake
it
,
so
wee
must
not
be
cowards
vpon
iust
cause
to
refuse
it
,
for
both
of
them
are
the
extreames
of
fortitude
,
as
well
a
rash
attempt
,
as
a
base
refusall
:
From
hence
Demosthenes
that
King
of
Orators
,
in
a
inuectiue
Oration
against
King
Philip
,
for
his
insatiable
ambitious
desire
of
gonernement
,
as
he
already
had
besieged
the
Olinthians
,
vpon
the
conquest
of
whom
he
had
a
free
passage
into
Athens
,
which
to
preuent
,
Demosthenes
exhorts
them
not
onely
to
aide
the
Olinthians
,
but
also
to
raise
an
Army
to
send
into
Macedonia
,
that
so
being
wounded
at
home
,
hee
might
haue
the
lesse
liberty
to
hurt
abroad
,
alleaging
that
aide
to
their
Neighbours
is
very
requisite
,
since
as
their
safety
was
founded
vpon
their
good
successe
,
for
whosoeuer
withdraweth
his
helping
hand
,
when
as
his
neighbours
house
is
on
fire
,
may
want
assistance
to
quench
his
owne
,
according
to
that
old
and
vsuall
verse
,
I
am
mea
res
agitur
paries
cum
proximus
audet
;
It
is
my
case
:
so
when
the
next
walles
burned
,
either
for
the
subuersion
of
any
tyrant
,
which
doth
wrongfully
vsurpe
more
by
might
then
right
any
others
dominions
:
in
so
much
that
in
former
times
,
it
was
held
a
thing
conuenient
in
former
times
,
that
if
any
Prince
did
tyrannically
abuse
any
of
his
Subiects
,
either
with
cruelty
,
murther
,
rape
,
rauine
,
or
such
like
oppressions
,
wherein
he
might
offer
his
subiects
opprobrious
iniurie
,
the
which
(
in
regard
they
cannot
redresse
themselues
,
for
what
subiect
dares
lift
vp
his
hand
against
Gods
Annointed
,
or
to
stand
vp
in
Armes
against
his
Soueraigne
)
it
was
requisite
that
the
next
adioyning
Prince
,
who
was
a
borderer
vpon
the
confines
of
his
Dominions
,
should
assume
armes
against
him
,
to
chastise
,
correct
,
and
reforme
so
great
enormities
,
to
the
end
that
the
name
of
a
King
might
not
seeme
odious
,
and
be
hatefull
vnto
the
people
,
as
was
Nero
,
Heligabulus
.
Dionysius
,
and
too
many
others
of
that
barbarous
disposition
and
horrid
crueltie
.
From
whence
he
purchased
vnto
himselfe
such
an
immortall
name
,
and
neuer
dying
memory
,
as
they
did
diefie
him
for
vilefying
such
monsters
,
and
exercising
his
prowesse
vpon
such
tyrants
.
But
for
the
better
satisfaction
of
those
,
whose
precise
consciences
,
will
not
allow
any
Warres
or
dissentions
,
to
keepe
any
harmonicall
consent
either
with
goodnesse
or
godlinesse
,
giue
but
an
attentiue
and
patient
eare
vnto
the
words
of
Hieronymus
Osorius
,
as
they
be
recorded
and
written
in
his
Booke
entituled
True
Christian
Nobility
.
Neither
hath
this
allowance
of
Wartes
onely
approbation
from
him
,
but
is
receiued
as
a
lawfull
practise
by
the
common
consent
of
the
most
,
or
at
least
the
best
part
of
Doctors
;
Diuine
Plato
extolleth
this
art
of
Armes
,
and
commandeth
that
children
should
be
instructed
in
it
,
so
soone
as
they
came
to
ability
of
bodie
,
or
any
aptitude
to
discharge
the
Offices
of
Souldiers
,
and
it
was
Cyrus
his
opinion
,
that
it
was
as
necessary
as
agriculture
or
husbrandy
,
neither
is
it
denyed
by
Augustine
and
Bernards
those
two
famous
Fathers
.
The
Romanes
also
who
were
of
matchlesse
worth
in
marshall
affaires
,
being
no
lesse
to
be
admited
for
their
carriage
abroade
,
then
for
their
counsell
at
home
,
appointed
for
their
chiefe
Commanders
two
Consuls
,
the
one
to
determine
City
affaires
,
the
other
to
be
occupied
in
marshall
discipline
,
being
assured
that
they
could
neuer
haue
peace
within
their
walles
,
except
they
had
wartes
abroade
;
to
omit
the
iudgement
of
Hipodam
us
Milesius
,
a
man
so
expert
in
all
learning
,
who
thought
it
conuenient
for
that
City
or
Countrey
which
coueted
quietnesse
,
and
sought
for
safetie
,
to
diuide
their
people
into
three
parts
,
the
one
of
which
were
to
be
appointed
to
be
Artificers
,
the
other
for
Husbandry
,
and
the
third
sort
set
apart
to
bee
imployed
in
martiall
exercises
.
Indeede
peace
is
a
precious
pearle
,
and
is
chiefly
to
be
desired
,
but
oftentimes
Warres
must
be
performed
,
that
peace
may
be
maintained
:
euen
like
a
shippe
which
being
in
her
quiet
Harbour
,
is
constrained
to
loose
Anchor
,
and
to
seeke
for
safety
in
the
vaste
and
raging
Sea
:
if
a
man
cannot
attaine
his
right
without
violence
,
hee
may
lawfully
take
vp
Armes
,
and
get
it
by
force
,
for
some
men
are
like
a
nettle
,
the
more
kindly
they
vse
them
,
the
worse
they
will
sting
them
,
the
fairer
they
intreate
them
,
the
fouler
they
intertaine
them
.
Salomon
likewise
prescribeth
a
time
for
peace
,
and
a
time
for
Warre
,
a
day
of
mirth
,
and
a
day
of
mourning
,
and
therefore
to
vse
time
when
oceasion
serueth
,
is
a
maine
pont
of
principall
wisedome
,
and
to
assume
Armes
vpon
due
premeditation
,
not
incensiderately
to
enter
into
conslict
and
skirmish
,
for
that
faucurs
of
sauage
beastlinesse
,
and
not
of
sage
humanitie
:
but
when
time
permitteth
,
and
necessitie
requireth
,
then
on
with
your
Armour
,
fight
manfully
,
preferring
an
happie
and
honourable
death
,
before
a
disgracefull
and
miserable
death
.
There
is
a
double
kinde
of
Iniustice
,
the
one
in
offering
,
the
other
in
suffering
Iniustice
:
the
one
is
actiuely
,
the
other
passiuely
vniust
,
wittingly
to
offend
against
a
neighbour
,
is
a
sinne
against
our
brother
,
and
wilfully
to
beare
an
iniury
,
is
an
offence
against
ones
selfe
,
and
therefore
I
will
not
be
a
foe
to
my
Neighbour
,
in
wronging
of
him
,
neither
will
I
bee
an
enemy
to
my selfe
,
in
permitting
him
to
offend
me
,
when
I
am
of
ability
to
defend
my selfe
:
But
me
thinkes
I
heare
some
obiect
against
the
former
resolution
,
saying
,
that
Truth
it selfe
hath
prohibited
the
rendring
of
euill
for
euill
to
any
man
,
and
hath
inioyned
,
that
if
one
hath
receiued
a
blow
of
one
eare
,
hee
ought
to
turne
the
other
:
It
is
true
that
he
hath
said
;
I
beleeue
that
vengeance
is
the
Lords
,
and
hee
will
repay
it
,
yet
notwithstanding
a
Christian
doth
not
goe
about
to
reuenge
it
,
as
it
is
an
iniury
done
to
himselfe
,
but
as
an
offence
committed
against
God
,
who
hath
forbidden
all
iniustice
,
and
commanded
to
giue
vnto
Caesar
that
which
belongeth
vnto
Caesar
,
and
I
trust
that
no
man
will
be
so
foolishly
opinionated
,
that
when
he
is
oppressed
by
any
Tyrant
,
should
willingly
surrender
into
his
hands
his
possessions
,
his
Crowne
,
and
Signiory
,
or
that
it
should
not
be
a
legall
honest
course
,
and
not
dissentane
either
from
reason
or
religion
,
for
a
Prince
to
defend
and
maintaine
his
right
,
or
that
it
should
not
bee
lawfull
for
him
to
warre
vpon
him
either
for
it
,
in
the
defence
of
true
Religion
,
or
the
maintenance
of
their
freedome
and
liberty
,
as
the
Athenians
against
King
Philip.
And
howsoeuer
in
this
our
Pilgrimage
,
fortitudes
estimation
is
in
the
wayne
,
yet
in
ancient
times
prowesse
was
of
such
price
and
valour
,
of
so
great
accompt
,
as
no
glory
was
counted
so
great
,
no
renowne
so
honourable
,
as
that
which
hath
beene
wonne
in
the
field
by
the
force
of
martiall
prowesse
,
and
to
make
men
more
greedy
of
such
gain
,
and
more
thirsty
of
such
atchieuements
,
great
meedes
and
rich
rewards
were
conferred
vpon
such
as
had
deserued
worthily
,
and
behaued
themselues
brauely
in
the
warres
.
The
noble
Caleb
,
who
by
a
constant
courage
and
couragious
constancy
of
minde
,
had
reperswaded
the
children
of
Israel
,
that
had
a
determinate
inclination
to
make
a
returne
into
the
Land
of
Egypt
,
to
continue
still
in
their
courage
,
their
former
manhood
and
vertue
:
and
therefore
the
Lord
promised
to
be
his
rewarder
,
who
hauing
a
Daughter
of
incomparable
matchlesse
beauty
,
whose
name
Achsat
,
would
espouse
or
giue
her
in
marriage
vpon
none
but
hee
that
by
his
valour
could
take
the
City
Cariath
,
which
in
the
end
was
taken
by
Othniel
his
brothers
sonne
.
And
did
not
Dauid
receiue
great
riches
with
the
Daughter
of
King
Saul
,
for
ouerthrowing
Goliah
?
who
also
promised
a
great
reward
to
those
which
would
worke
the
destruction
of
the
lebusites
:
The
Carthaginians
rewarded
the
Souldiers
with
so
many
rings
as
they
had
beene
in
battels
:
The
Scithians
permitted
none
to
drinke
in
a
great
cup
of
gold
,
that
was
carried
about
,
except
they
had
wrought
the
ouerthrow
,
or
brought
an
Enemy
to
destruction
.
The
Romanes
the
more
to
accend
mens
mindes
,
and
to
set
their
breasts
on
fire
with
the
desire
of
honour
,
and
to
pricke
them
on
to
prowesse
,
inuented
stately
triumphs
,
whereby
his
name
might
mount
on
the
wings
of
Fame
,
which
had
deserued
worthily
,
but
on
the
contrary
,
such
as
had
beene
of
cowardly
carriage
,
or
had
any
affinitie
with
our
carpet
Knights
,
were
in
a
most
shamefull
manner
disgraced
.
The
Macedonians
did
constitute
a
Law
,
that
whosoeuer
had
not
got
the
conquest
of
some
one
in
fight
or
battaile
,
because
hee
had
not
striuen
like
a
man
for
victory
,
he
should
be
hanged
like
a
dogge
in
a
halter
.
The
Women
of
Cimbria
beyond
the
valour
of
their
See
,
slew
all
such
that
being
so
followed
with
feare
,
forsooke
the
Field
,
although
they
were
of
their
neuer
so
neere
alliance
,
and
were
conioyned
neuer
so
vnto
them
in
the
bond
of
consanguinitie
,
The
Women
of
Sparta
would
goe
into
the
Field
,
the
battaile
being
ended
,
to
see
in
what
places
their
Husbands
had
receiued
their
wounds
,
the
which
if
they
found
them
to
be
before
,
(
from
whence
they
might
coniecture
hee
had
fought
manfully
)
they
would
with
great
solemnitie
performe
his
;
but
if
behind
,
they
left
him
as
being
ashamed
of
such
a
coward
,
and
would
not
afoord
his
carcasse
so
much
as
buriall
.
Tierias
a
certain
woman
of
Lacedemonia
,
hauing
intelligence
that
her
sonne
had
receiued
a
fatall
wound
in
the
warres
,
and
had
shaken
hands
and
taken
his
farewell
of
this
world
,
replied
,
was
it
not
necessary
that
my
sonne
,
going
vnto
the
warres
,
should
be
the
death
of
others
,
then
wherefore
should
I
lament
if
others
haue
beene
the
death
of
him
,
surely
with
lesse
sorrow
and
more
solace
I
remember
him
,
supposing
him
no
whit
vnworthy
of
me
or
his
predecessours
in
that
he
liued
not
in
shame
and
idlenesse
,
but
died
with
honour
:
let
cowardly
hearts
lament
such
a
losse
,
as
for
my
part
,
I
will
intombe
my
sonne
and
neuer
weepe
vpon
his
vrne
.
Another
woman
of
Lacedemonia
bereaued
her
sonne
of
his
vitall
breath
,
to
whom
her
wombe
had
giuen
life
,
because
he
had
basely
fled
from
the
warres
,
in
whose
reproch
this
epitaph
was
written
.
Here
doth
the
dastard
knight
Damation
lie
,
Who
like
a
coward
from
the
warres
did
slie
:
And
for
that
fact
was
by
his
mother
slaine
,
Because
he
her
and
Spartan
blood
did
staine
.
Solon
that
wise
and
worthy
Phylosopher
,
whom
wee
all
admire
,
but
scarce
imitate
for
his
wisdome
;
being
demaunded
of
Crasus
the
King
,
of
who
in
his
conceit
was
most
fortunate
,
replyed
,
Tellus
an
Athenian
from
whose
loines
was
sprung
(
in
a
countrey
flowing
with
milke
and
honey
,
and
abounding
with
all
good
commodities
)
a
great
many
of
children
,
both
for
the
indowments
of
the
minde
,
and
beautie
of
the
body
,
absolutely
accomplisht
,
who
defended
his
countrey
manfully
,
liued
with
honour
,
died
with
glory
.
Here
then
you
may
perceiue
the
great
estimation
that
valour
was
in
former
times
when
as
it
was
so
worthily
reputed
the
exercisers
of
it
so
much
encouraged
,
and
the
neglecters
of
it
so
much
contemned
,
now
what
incommodity
hath
insued
vpon
them
,
who
haue
placed
there
sole
and
whole
selicity
in
peace
that
they
haue
not
onely
despised
warre
,
but
haue
vtterly
refused
to
learne
all
Marshall
discipline
,
hereafter
I
will
demonstrate
vnto
you
.
But
still
me
thinkes
there
remaines
a
ribble
rabble
of
secming
religious
people
,
whose
queasie
consciences
strayne
at
a
Gnat
,
but
swallow
a
Camell
,
whose
warie
minds
stumble
at
a
straw
,
but
leap
ouer
a
block
,
which
still
doe
oppose
and
make
assault
against
our
position
,
in
regard
that
murther
spoyles
,
and
sundry
other
inconueniences
are
the
effects
of
them
:
but
it
is
not
inough
to
reproue
an
opinion
as
erronious
,
except
they
proue
it
false
,
neither
doth
this
there
meere
assertion
sufficient
to
infringe
the
verity
of
this
position
.
Suppose
Warre
to
be
the
mother
of
Murther
,
yet
it
is
oftentimes
such
as
is
by
God
allowed
,
nay
more
commaunded
:
Did
not
Iosuah
,
fearing
the
day
would
haue
imposed
too
speedy
and
present
a
period
to
his
slaughter
,
commaund
the
Sunne
to
stay
in
Gideon
,
and
the
Moone
in
the
Aialon
,
and
the
Lord
did
countenance
his
commaundement
,
for
there
succecded
an
immediate
Solstyne
,
and
the
Moone
continued
not
her
course
,
nay
oftentimes
the
too
much
fauouring
of
ours
and
Gods
enemies
,
hath
beene
the
onely
meanes
to
roote
vs
out
of
Gods
fauour
:
For
what
was
the
originall
of
Sauls
destruction
?
but
the
not
destroying
of
the
Amalekites
,
neither
doe
I
produce
these
examples
,
to
proue
warres
alwayes
necessary
:
but
sometimes
lawfull
,
and
I
can
not
choose
but
admire
the
foolish
frensie
of
some
fantastique
Coxcombes
,
who
doe
so
much
misconceiue
of
warres
as
they
hold
them
directly
displeasing
to
God
,
because
murther
,
and
diuers
other
misdemeanors
are
committed
in
them
.
But
by
these
arguments
they
kill
themselues
with
their
owne
weapons
,
and
seeking
to
maintaine
the
prerogatiue
of
peace
,
doe
quite
cuert
it
,
for
by
that
argument
it
is
the
most
to
bee
euited
enormity
that
can
be
imagined
:
for
is
it
not
the
nurse
of
vices
,
the
roote
of
ruine
,
the
prop
of
pride
,
to
be
short
,
the
mother
of
all
mischiefe
:
for
in
the
time
of
peace
wee
fixe
our
fancie
onely
vpon
vncertaine
riches
,
for
the
satisfying
of
which
sacred
hunger
of
gold
,
what
offence
will
wee
not
perpetrate
,
what
sinne
will
wee
leaue
vnacted
,
who
will
not
become
an
Vsurer
,
or
an
Extortioner
,
nay
,
that
which
is
something
better
,
a
hangman
,
or
an
Executioner
,
a
parasite
,
nay
,
a
paracide
,
to
purchase
them
?
And
when
they
haue
attained
them
,
they
are
but
the
irratamenta
malorum
,
the
ingines
of
iniquitie
,
the
instruments
of
vanitie
,
the
stirrers
vp
of
strife
and
contention
,
making
the
possessor
of
them
proude
,
presumptuous
,
vain-glorious
,
and
like
leauen
sowring
the
whole
lumpe
.
This
Augustine
perceiuing
,
writeth
in
a
Booke
of
his
entituled
De
Ciuitate
Dei
,
The
City
of
Carthage
was
more
hurtfull
to
the
Citie
of
Rome
after
her
destruction
,
then
in
the
time
of
the
warres
which
the
Romanes
had
with
her
,
for
whilest
they
had
enemies
in
Affticke
,
they
knew
not
what
vices
meant
at
Rome
.
Yet
is
it
not
my
drift
to
preferre
Warres
before
Peace
,
but
to
intimate
,
that
as
Peace
is
the
great
blessing
of
God
,
so
Warres
vndertaken
vpon
due
consideration
,
doe
nothing
offend
him
:
and
although
in
the
time
of
peace
there
is
plentie
of
vice
,
yet
notwithstanding
it
is
not
absolutely
to
be
condemned
,
so
though
in
the
Warres
there
be
many
outrages
committed
,
yet
it
is
not
wholly
therefore
to
be
neglected
:
the
Sunne
shining
vpon
some
pleasant
Garden
,
makes
the
flowres
haue
a
more
fragrant
and
delightfull
smell
,
but
displaying
his
most
radiant
beames
vpon
a
dunghill
,
maketh
the
stinke
greater
,
and
the
sent
more
noy
some
:
The
sicke
mans
stomacke
turneth
all
his
meate
into
bad
humors
,
Peace
may
be
prosperous
,
and
Warre
lawfull
,
yet
both
of
them
may
be
abused
.
Moreouer
,
if
I
should
speake
of
the
particular
commodities
that
seuerall
countries
haue
reaped
by
warres
,
I
could
be
infinite
,
and
to
the
intent
I
may
not
range
farre
abrode
for
example
,
let
thy
consideration
make
but
a
step
into
our
neighbouring
nations
,
and
let
vs
looke
into
the
Low
Countries
,
these
you
shall
see
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
that
treasury
of
all
vertue
and
goodnesse
,
though
with
meane
forces
,
withstanding
a
mighty
nation
,
that
his
libertie
might
not
be
infringed
,
of
his
country
iniured
;
neither
hath
he
maintained
his
owne
case
only
valiantly
,
but
hath
afforded
his
neighbouring
friends
aide
and
assistance
.
Let
Spaine
speake
how
often
she
hath
receiued
a
repulse
and
a
non
visitauit
from
him
?
how
often
in
vaine
shee
hath
attempted
his
ouerthrow
,
but
be
like
a
well
built
fort
hath
valiantly
withstood
all
their
assaults
?
and
though
he
hath
happily
beene
moued
,
yet
could
not
be
remoued
by
their
attempts
:
whereby
as
all
men
sufficiently
vnderstand
,
hee
is
now
growne
potent
and
powerfull
,
rich
and
renowned
:
whereas
on
the
contrary
,
if
Asse-like
he
would
haue
borne
the
king
of
Spaines
heauy
burthen
,
submitted
to
the
yoke
of
his
obedience
,
he
had
lost
his
libertie
,
nouer
attained
the
honor
with
which
his
name
is
now
crowned
,
for
he
remaineth
as
a
mirrour
and
terrour
to
all
nations
,
for
as
his
Excellency
did
iustly
,
and
with
due
consideration
vndertake
,
so
hee
hath
nobly
and
with
true
valour
maintained
his
quarrell
against
the
King
of
Spaine
.
Surely
an
act
well
beseeming
so
worthy
and
noble
a
Prince
,
who
as
hee
should
not
be
like
a
raw
wound
ouer-apprehensiue
of
iniuries
,
so
he
should
be
vnlike
dead
flesh
,
not
too
senslesse
of
wrongs
done
vnto
:
the
one
shewes
folly
the
other
fea●e
.
Neither
would
it
ill
befeeme
any
Potentate
to
treade
in
the
steps
of
so
excellent
a
Prince
,
and
not
so
much
to
respect
peace
as
to
neglect
a
iust
occasion
of
warre
,
for
doth
it
stand
with
reason
or
religion
that
a
Prince
hauing
sufficient
power
to
make
resistance
to
an
open
enemy
,
should
expose
his
open
brest
to
his
threatning
sword
,
nay
when
he
sees
he
hath
already
cut
off
some
of
his
lims
to
trust
him
with
his
whole
body
.
Hath
he
any
great
good
meaning
to
the
tree
that
hackes
and
hewes
downe
the
branches
:
doth
he
beare
any
good
affection
to
the
father
that
striueth
to
iniure
the
child
?
or
doth
not
he
that
oppresseth
the
child
,
expresse
his
hatred
to
the
father
?
can
one
which
loathes
the
effect
loue
the
cause
?
will
not
hee
which
cannot
tollerate
the
heate
,
labour
to
quench
the
fire
?
yes
surely
,
and
it
was
formerly
lawfull
for
Kings
to
seeke
to
depose
a
Tyrant
though
he
had
no
interest
in
those
which
were
iniured
.
Then
how
much
more
forcible
a
motiue
hath
hee
if
his
posteritie
bee
abused
,
and
he
be
wounded
in
his
owne
bowels
:
Surely
his
sword
ought
not
to
rest
in
his
sheath
when
he
hath
such
iust
cause
to
draw
it
,
but
his
angry
canons
to
thunder
in
the
eares
of
his
enemies
,
and
tell
them
they
haue
iniured
him
.
And
is
not
this
the
cause
of
our
Soueraigne
,
if
euer
Prince
had
iust
cause
of
warre
,
it
is
he
,
for
they
haue
exiled
out
of
his
inheritance
the
Palsgraue
,
a
Prince
so
hopefull
;
they
haue
layd
wast
his
countrey
which
was
the
Paradise
of
the
world
,
a
land
so
fruitfull
,
they
doe
vniustly
vsurpe
his
Diadem
,
they
haue
falsely
promised
the
restoring
of
it
,
when
as
the
pulses
of
their
promises
did
not
beat
according
to
the
motion
of
their
hearts
.
Certes
it
did
not
beseeme
Princely
pietie
in
them
to
offer
,
neither
doth
it
consent
with
kingly
courage
in
him
to
suffer
,
that
me
thinkes
this
voyce
of
the
Souldier
is
but
as
an
echo
to
the
voyce
of
heauen
,
which
sayes
the
cause
is
iust
,
and
counselleth
all
Christan
Protestant
Princes
ioyntly
to
assume
armes
to
driue
this
Boare
out
of
the
Vineyard
,
and
to
re-seate
this
royall
Prince
in
his
Throne
and
dignitie
.
Heare
oh
you
braue
English
Spirits
which
once
were
admired
,
I
had
almost
sayd
adored
for
your
valour
when
you
had
imployment
;
how
can
you
any
longer
desist
from
the
pursuit
of
honour
in
so
iust
a
cause
?
doe
you
not
long
to
fight
for
the
safetie
of
a
limme
,
nay
the
halfe
part
of
your
Soueraigne
.
But
why
should
I
vse
these
needlesse
perswasions
,
or
spurre
a
free
horse
,
I
dare
say
you
are
easily
intreated
,
nay
hardly
perswaded
from
it
,
and
you
are
as
restlesse
being
staued
from
the
combat
,
as
the
Stone
violently
detained
from
the
Center
.
Neuer
was
Beare
robbed
of
her
whelpes
more
angrie
of
reuenge
then
you
of
this
enterprise
;
it
may
be
indeed
there
bee
some
Spanish
English
(
as
they
terme
them
)
who
are
neither
true
to
God
,
their
King
,
or
countrey
,
which
haue
not
the
least
drop
of
loyall
blood
lodged
in
their
hearts
,
that
would
be
somewhat
vnwilling
to
act
a
part
in
this
matter
:
perhaps
likewise
there
be
others
who
be
guilty
of
so
little
valour
,
that
they
had
rather
liue
like
drones
in
this
hiue
of
our
commonwealth
,
and
be
loitring
lubbers
at
home
,
then
any
waies
to
offer
there
seruice
for
their
Soueraignes
welfare
,
or
spend
a
dram
,
nay
a
drop
of
blood
in
the
defence
of
the
truth
,
who
are
very
well
content
to
enioy
the
warmth
they
haue
vnder
the
wings
of
their
Soueraigne
,
but
will
not
do
any
seruice
in
the
requital
of
this
benefit
being
not
much
vnlike
to
vngratefull
curs
which
will
fawne
vpon
their
master
so
long
as
he
feeds
them
,
but
when
hee
hath
any
futther
imployments
for
them
,
they
bid
him
adue
,
and
hasten
to
their
kennels
:
So
these
men
,
or
rather
beasts
indeeed
,
that
are
borne
,
bred
,
fostered
,
sed
,
in
their
countrey
,
and
yet
can
suffer
an
indignitie
done
to
their
Prince
,
and
when
their
countrey
standeth
in
need
of
their
aid
or
assistance
,
to
slip
their
coller
&
come
to
combat
in
the
defence
of
it
as
willingly
as
Bears
to
the
stake
:
that
argueth
an
vngratefull
mind
,
free
from
all
vertue
as
well
as
vallour
,
and
indeed
are
no
more
worthy
to
enioy
the
commodities
and
benefits
of
their
countrey
then
a
Swine
deserues
a
pearle
.
But
as
Plutarque
maketh
mention
of
an
Iland
in
Greece
called
Cobde
,
in
which
there
was
a
linage
descended
from
that
noble
valiant
captaiue
called
Agis
the
good
,
amongst
which
Agitas
this
law
especially
was
most
strictly
obserued
,
that
none
durst
presume
to
stile
himselfe
naturally
borne
in
the
I
le
,
vnlesse
he
had
performed
some
memorable
valiant
act
:
or
at
the
least
,
shewed
himselfe
forward
and
willing
in
the
defence
of
his
King
and
Countrie
,
and
I
dare
truely
say
,
though
he
dare
style
himselfe
one
of
the
Countrie
naturally
borne
,
yet
he
is
not
so
,
for
a
true
English
man
hath
a
heart
more
full
of
Celestiall
fire
,
and
a
bosome
better
furnisht
with
noble
thoughts
,
then
to
be
a
Porter
of
iniuries
done
to
his
Soueraigne
,
or
any
of
those
which
belong
vnto
him
:
And
I
do
speake
,
ex
animo
,
there
neuer
went
a
hungry
man
with
a
greater
or
better
appetyte
to
a
feast
,
then
they
would
to
this
fray
.
They
know
the
Prince
so
worchy
,
the
cause
so
iust
,
the
successe
so
certaine
:
I
doubt
not
,
but
it
hath
bin
so
sufficiently
proued
,
that
warres
are
lawfull
,
that
a
blind
man
may
apparantly
see
it
:
but
still
there
are
some
,
who
though
they
can
not
disallow
of
the
action
,
yet
they
seeme
to
dislike
of
the
Agents
,
and
perhaps
they
will
say
,
a
Soldiour
can
not
be
an
honest
man
,
because
in
warres
they
be
ministers
of
so
much
mischiefe
:
this
is
their
reason
.
But
in
this
place
I
will
but
reason
of
souldiours
,
as
I
haue
already
done
or
warres
:
that
is
,
but
to
shew
what
maner
of
people
souldiours
haue
beene
:
As
for
such
as
doe
but
vsurpe
the
name
of
souldiours
,
I
leaue
them
tyll
another
occasion
.
We
finde
in
the
14
Chapter
of
the
booke
of
Genesis
,
That

the

of

:
and
all
the
Diuine
&
ancient
Doctors
by
generall
consent
do
agree
,
that
the
first
true
figure
of
Christ
,
was
here
offered
to
souldiers
,
that
were
returned
from
the
flaughter
and
spoyle
of
their
enemies
.
A
speciall
cause
wherein
souldiers
may
worthily
triumph
,
&
a
choake
peare
sufficient
,
to
stop
their
mouthes
,
that
would
so
absolutely
condemne
them

what

may
be
giuen
to
any
man
then
we
finde
in
the
10.
Chapter
of
the
Actes
of
the
Apostles
,
There
was
a
certaine
man
in
Caesarea
,
whose
name
was
Cornelius
,
a
captaine
of
the
souldiers
of
Italy
,
a
deuout
man
,
and
one
that
feared
God
with
all
his
houshold
,
&c.
To
this
Cornelius
the
Angell
of
the
Lord
appeared
,
and
willed
him
to
send
into
Joppa
,
and
to
inquire
for
one
Simon
Peter
,
who
should
instruct
him
and
baptise
him
in
the
name
of
Iesus
,
and
when
the
Angell
was
departed
,
thus
sayth
the
text
:
He
called
to
him
two
of
his
houshold
seruants
,
and
a
deuout
souldier
,
that
wayted
on
him
,
&
told
them
all
the
matter
,
and
sent
them
to
Ioppa
,
&c.
This
may
seeme
sufficient
to
proue
,
that
not
onely
Captaynes
,
but
also
priuate
souldiers
,
haue
beene
found
to
be
both
zealous
and
feruent
in
the
loue
and
feare
of
God
,
and
that
he
hath
likewyse
accepted
them
into
his
speciall
grace
and
fauour
.
But
what
should
I
stand
here
to
manifest
the
vertues
,
wherewith
a
number
of
noble
captaines
haue
beene
most
plenteously
indued
:
as
the
bountie
and
liberality
of
Alexander
,
the
continencie
of
Scipio
;
the
iustice
and
equity
of
Iultus
Caesar
,
the
patience
and
humility
of
Agathocles
,
the
mercy
and
pitie
of
Agesilaus
,
the
faith
and
fidelity
of
Regulus
to
his
very
enemies
.
Here
might
(
I
say
)
euen
of
this
onely
matter
a
huge
volume
be
written
,
onely
of
the
vertuous
dispositions
of
noble
souldiers
:
in
so
much
that
this
oath
,
By
the
faith
of
a
Souldier
,
hath
beene
so
inuiolably
kept
,
that
a
souldier
hath
beene
better
to
haue
beene
credited
by
that
oath
,
then
some
merchants
now
by
their
obligations
.
But
here
if
any
will
coniecture
,
that
in
tyme
past
souldiers
haue
so
exceeded
in
vertues
,
that
at
the
time
present
they
haue
none
at
all
lest
for
them
to
boast
on
:
although
in
England
our
multitude
be
not
many
,
yet
amongst
those
few
there
bee
both
honourable
and
worshipfull
,
whose
magnanimity
in
the
tyme
of
warres
hath
made
them
famous
in
forreine
countries
,
and
whose
noblenes
and
vertues
now
in
the
time
of
peace
,
do
shine
coequall
with
the
best
.
But
here
peraduenture
some
curious
caueller
will
replie
,
that
these
may
be
better
called
sage
and
wyse
counsellers
,
then
bloodie
or
cruell
Captaines
:
and
rather
may
bee
termed
sober
,
and
discreet
lustices
,
then
rash
and
harbrayned
souldiers
:
and
thus
by
denying
them
to
be
souldiers
,
will
thinke
I
am
neuer
the
neerer
my
proofe
.
But
here
if
there
were
no
other
shift
,
or
that
the
matter
were
so
needefull
to
bee
reasoned
on
:
it
were
very
easie
to
proue
,
that
the
best
and
noblest
souldiers
bee
euer
found
to
be
the
wysest
and
meetest
Counsellers
:
and
for
that
cause
the
Poets
haue
fayned
Minerua
to
be
armed
,
signifying
that
Captaines
and
souldiers
should
bee
(
as
it
is
reported
of
Iugerth
)
not
onely
wyse
in
counselling
,
but
couragious
in
conquering
:
as
politick
in
keeping
,
as
valiant
in
getting
.
And
Tullie
in
his
first
booke
of
Offices
speaketh
of
a
double
commodity
that
these
men
do
yeeld
to
their
countrie
,
What
though
there
be
some
that
in
the
tyme
of
seruice
,
will
intrude
themselues
,
and
become
souldiers
,
of
purpose
rather
to
spoyle
,
robbe
,
and
filch
,
then
to
do
any
good
seruice
,
shall
the
honest
Souldier
therefore
be
condemned
?
so
euery
profession
,
how
necessary
so
euer
it
seeme
,
would
be
misliked
,
and
men
of
euery
faculty
would
be
despised
.
As
first
for
example
,
the
Merchants
,
whose
trade
,
as
Plinie
sayth
,
was
inuented
for
the
necessity
of
mans
life
,
transporting
from
one
region
to
another
,
that
which
lacketh
in
the
one
and
aboundeth
in
the
other
:
yet
there
bee
many
that
vnder
this
cloake
and
good
pretence
,
continually
do
practise
,
to
transport
out
of
their
owne
natiue
countries
,
such
commodities
as
may
not
well
be
spared
:
whereby
many
times
great
scarcity
and
dearth
doth
happen
,
wherein
the
people
are
pitiously
oppressed
.
In
England
once
a
yeare
we
finde
the
extremity
,
either
for
want
of
corn
,
leather
,
hides
,
tallow
,
butter
,
cheese
,
bacon
,
beefe
,
beere
,
and
many
other
such
like
,
which
by
his
Maiestie
are
prohibited
:
but
no
restraint
may
serue
against
those
theeues
,
vnnaturall
robbers
and
spoylers
of
theis
owne
countrie
.
And
yet
these
are
commonly
the
greatest
find-faults
that
will
inuey
against
souldiers
,
whose
spoyles
are
much
more
tollerable
,
because
they
spoyle
but
their
enemies
:
these
rob
and
spoile
their
friends
,
and
make
wracke
of
their
owne
countries
,
by
conueying
away
their
commodities
,
and
by
returning
of
incommodities
,
vaine
trifles
,
which
are
not
necessary
for
humane
life
,
but
onely
to
maintaine
women
and
children
in
pride
,
pompe
and
vaineglory
,
such
things
as
do
procure
delights
,
wannesse
and
delicacie
:
the
very
vanities
and
vices
of
euery
nation
by
these
men
are
brought
home
.
And
then
what
p●●u●●e
,
what
fraude
what
deceit
by
themselues
,
their
brokers
,
and
retailers
is
vsed
to
vtter
them
,
my
wits
be
too
weake
,
nor
I
thinke
there
is
no
other
that
is
able
to
expresse
,
vnlesse
it
bee
a
Merchant
himselfe
that
hath
vsed
the
trade
.
Furthermore
,
vnder
this
trade
and
trafficke
,
they
haue
conference
with
strange
Princes
,
and
vtter
vnto
them
the
secrets
of
countries
,
lend
them
mony
,
and
in
the
end
will
not
sticke
to
betray
their
owne
countrie
and
commonwealth
.
There
is
another
kinde
of
Merchants
,
that
decke
their
shops
with
other
mens
goods
,
borrowing
here
of
one
,
and
there
of
another
:
and
when
they
haue
gotten
into
their
hands
some
great
masse
or
value
,
then
they
become
bankrupts
,
and
liue
in
a
corner
with
other
mens
goods
.
Thus
you
may
see
,
that
although
this
trade
or
trafficke
of
merchandize
is
very
beneficiall
to
euery
state
and
common-wealth
,
and
that
there
haue
beene
many
wise
and
notable
men
thet
haue
vsed
it
,
as
Thalust
,
Solon
,
Hippocrates
,
and
others
,
yet
it
is
by
some
abused
:
but
shall
wee
therefore
condemne
the
trade
,
or
other
good
and
honest
merchants
that
vse
it
?
not
so
,
for
the
exercise
of
it
may
not
be
forborne
,
and
the
honest
trading
Merchant
is
to
be
had
in
reuerence
and
estimation
.
In
like
manner
amongst
the
Lawyers
,
are
there
not
found
many
that
creepe
in
to
the
Innes
of
Court
,
that
seeke
by
law
to
ouer
throw
law
,
such
as
be
termed
by
the
name
of
Peti
foggers
,
brethels
,
that
practise
nothing
but
to
breede
dissentions
,
strifes
suits
,
quarrels
,
and
debates
betweene
neighbour
and
neighbor
brother
and
brother
,
yea
somtimes
between
the
father
and
the
sonne
?
First
they
animate
them
to
commence
actions
,
perswading
them
that
their
quarrels
be
iust
,
and
will
very
well
stand
with
law
:
but
when
they
haue
once
gotten
them
in
,
then
they
feed
them
with
delayes
,
procrastinating
their
suits
from
day
to
day
,
from
terme
to
terme
,
yea
from
yeere
to
yeere
:
in
the
end
,
when
the
matter
is
like
to
fall
out
against
them
,
then
they
blame
their
clients
,
that
in
the
beginning
they
did
not
throughly
instruct
them
.
These
be
people
that
of
all
other
are
most
to
be
detested
:
for
in
the
time
of
peace
,
these
procure
continuall
warres
,
and
ciuill
dissentions
,
not
amongst
enemie
,
but
amongst
friends
,
not
amongst
forraine
foes
,
but
amongst
their
naturall
country
men
,
reioycing
when
any
bral
or
brabble
doth
fall
out
amongst
their
neighbours
.
And
yet
they
would
be
accounted
the
authours
of
peace
,
&
will
not
let
to
exclaime
against
the
souldiour
,
and
condemne
him
,
because
they
doe
thinke
him
to
be
like
vnto
themselues
,
that
is
,
to
be
desirous
of
warres
and
troubles
.
There
is
no
Parliament
or
conuocation
that
is
called
,
but
if
there
be
any
good
motion
had
in
question
,
for
the
quietnesse
or
quicke
dispatch
of
matters
in
controuersie
,
but
that
lawyers
be
the
only
lets
that
it
shall
not
come
forth
:
because
that
if
it
were
not
for
delaies
and
shifts
,
the
one
halfe
,
nay
not
a
quarter
of
them
might
be
able
to
thriue
by
their
occupation
,
there
are
such
a
shamefull
company
.
Yea
,
many
times
there
are
found
great
coriuptions
euen
amongst
the
Iudges
themselues
:
that
for
feare
to
offend
a
Prince
or
some
Noble
man
,
will
not
sticke
with
Pilate
to
condemne
Christ
.
Sometime
with
Gold
and
Siluer
or
other
gifts
,
they
be
so
corrupted
,
that
they
regard
more
the
presents
that
are
giuen
them
,
then
either
iustice
or
equitie
:
they
are
diligent
in
rich
mens
causes
,
put
the
poore
they
deserre
:
the
complaint
of
the
widow
or
fatherlesse
cannot
be
heard
amongst
them
.
But
shall
we
therefore
reproue
the
law
,
which
is
the
onely
prop
and
stay
to
euery
commonwealth
,
without
the
which
we
could
not
liue
in
any
good
order
,
otherwise
then
as
brute
beasts
neither
could
those
that
be
good
and
harmlesse
,
enioy
either
goods
or
possessions
from
cruell
Firants
and
oppressours
?
neither
were
any
one
man
assared
of
his
life
or
liuing
,
were
there
not
law
to
punish
murtherers
,
and
to
maintaine
right
:
or
shall
the
abuses
of
some
,
condemne
all
honest
and
true
dealing
lawyers
,
who
in
their
profession
of
all
men
are
worthy
to
be
honored
?
As
there
is
no
reason
in
the
one
,
so
they
be
too
much
to
blame
,
that
for
the
lewdnesse
of
some
losses
,
that
doe
but
vsurp
the
name
names
of
souldiers
,
will
therefore
so
absolutely
condemne
all
souldiers
,
thinking
there
can
be
no
good
,
because
some
are
ill
.
But
what
profession
may
there
be
,
wherein
wicked
men
will
not
seeke
to
cloke
and
couer
themselues
?
Be
there
not
that
enter
euen
into
the
Ministery
of
the
holy
sacraments
,
prowd
prelates
,
blinde
guides
,
and
lazie
lubbers
:
some
that
during
the
space
of
twentie
yeeres
,
haue
receiued
the
fruits
of
benefices
,
that
haue
not
three
times
visited
their
flocke
,
but
commits
them
to
Sir
Iohn
lacke
latine
and
his
fellow
,
poore
ignorant
Chaplaines
:
such
as
they
hire
best
cheape
:
while
they
themselues
liue
in
pleasure
,
pompe
and
pride
:
not
like
S.
Peter
nor
S.
John
,
that
had
not
one
peny
to
giue
to
the
poore
lame
man
,
that
sat

:
and
yet
they
would
be
called
their
successors
?
These
be
they
of
whom
the
Prophet
Ezechiel
so
exclaimeth
,
saying
,
They
serue
for
nothing
,
but
to
serue
themselues
,
and
in
steed
of
feeding
their
flocke
,
they
take
the
fleece
,
draw
the
milke
,
kill
the
fattest
,
eate
the
flesh
,
breake
the
bones
:
they
are
dumbe
dogges
,
that
know
nothing
,
they
dare
not
barke
,
but
are
very
curious
to
haue
horsekeepers
for
their
Palfries
,
Falkconers
for
their
Hawkes
,
Cookes
for
their
Panches
,
but
the
poore
sheepe
perish
through
their
default
.
I
know
likewise
that
there
be
a
number
of
a
learned
Pastors
,
godly
ministers
,
diligent
Preachers
,
and
faithfull
followers
:
they
which
(
God
defend
)
should
beare
the
abuses
of
the
others
.
Then
if
the
holy
temple
of
God
,
cannot
be
cleansed
from
such
Ministers
of
mischiefes
:
they
be
something
too
nice
,
that
would
haue
souldiers
to
be
all
Saints
,
and
much
more
to
blame
that
would
make
them
all
diuels
:
because
some
doe
amisse
.
And
here
withall
I
must
thinke
them
to
be
very
partiall
,
that
with
such
blunts
termes
will
intitle
Souldiers
in
the
time
of
Warre
:
and
in
the
time
of
peace
,
can
so
cleanly
cloake
the
very
same
Actors
,
with
names
and
titles
of
credite
and
estimation
.
For
in
the
time
of
Warres
,
he
that
is
found
to
be
bloudily
minded
,
killing
without
compassion
all
that
lightteth
in
his
wrath
,
they
terme
him
by
the
name
of
a
Tyrant
and
a
murtherer
,
where
in
the
time
of
peace
,
they
sometime
shadow
him
vnder
the
title
of
my
Lord
Iudge
,
but
many
times
by
the
name
of
Master
lustice
of
Peace
and
Quorum
.
In
the
time
of
Warre
,
whom
they
terme
a
seditious
mutiner
,
a
peruerter
of
good
Lawes
,
a
maintainer
of
vngodly
quarrels
:
In
the
time
of
Peace
they
call
him
Master
Sergiant
of
the
Quoife
,
a
wise
Councellor
in
the
Law
,
or
an
honest
viligent
Atturney
.
In
the
time
of
Warre
,
whom
they
terme
a
thiefe
,
a
robber
,
a
spoiler
.
In
the
time
of
peace
they
call
him
an
honest
trading
Merchant
.
In
the
time
of
Warrie
whom
they
call
a
violator
of
Women
,
a
rauisher
,
and
deflowrer
:
In
the
time
of
peace
they
call
him
a
friendly
and
louing
gentleman
:
yea
,
and
some
foolish
soother
,
that
will
speake
they
know
not
what
,
will
say
he
is
a
right
Courtier
,
and
a
Courtlike
gentleman
.
In
the
time
of
Warre
,
he
that
can
tell
a
filed
tale
,
and
that
can
creepe
into
mens
bosomes
to
serue
his
owne
turne
,
they
call
him
a
Parasite
,
a
flatterer
,
and
a
dissembler
:
In
the
time
of
peace
they
call
him
an
excellent
learned
man
,
and
a
verie
good
Preacher
.
Such
partialitie
(
I
say
)
is
amongst
them
,
that
no
faults
are
espied
,
but
such
as
be
committed
amongst
Souldiers
:
Neither
doe
I
here
goe
about
to
excuse
all
Souldiers
,
as
though
there
were
none
ill
:
but
those
that
be
,
are
commonly
found
in
these
new
leuied
bands
,
&
not
a
mongst
old
souldiers
,
as
hereafter
I
wil
shew
.
But
here
(
peraduenture
)
some
will
thinke
,
that
although
many
of
them
may
be
excused
from
a
number
of
vices
,
wherewith
they
haue
beene
charged
:
yet
that
they
of
force
must
be
all
murtherers
,
may
not
be
denied
:
for
they
goe
into
the
Field
as
well
weaponed
to
kill
,
as
armed
to
defend
.
This
obiection
I
haue
many
times
heard
,
but
those
people
are
in
too
scrupulous
an
opinion
,
considering
how
many
examples
wee
may
finde
in
the
holy
Bible
:
where
God
hath
not
beene
offended
,
with
those
that
haue
killed
their
enemies
:
but
that
is
sometimes
lawfull
in
the
presence
of
God
to
shake
off
the
yoke
of
bondage
by
the
death
of
Tirants
,
as
Judith
by
Holofernes
,
and
many
other
like
.
But
as
iustice
without
temperance
is
reputed
iniurie
:
so
magnanimitie
without
mercie
is
accounted
Tiranny
:
and
as
it
cannot
be
counted
a
noble
victorie
which
bringeth
not
with
it
some
clemencie
,
so
to
vse
pittie
out
of
time
and
season
is
as
great
folly
,
as
to
vse
mercy
in
any
conflict
till
victorie
attained
.
And
sometimes
policie
excludeth
pittie
,
as
the
Greeks
,
who
after
the
destruction
of
Troy
,
slew
Astinax
the
son
of
Hector
,
to
the
end
that
there
might
remaine
no
occasion
of
quarrell
,
fearing
if
he
had
liued
,
he
would
haue
sought
some
reuenge
.
Indeed
they
may
say
souldiers
are
most
mercilesse
,
but
there
are
sundry
most
miserable
.
First
,
in
the
time
of
warres
,
they
spare
not
in
their
countries
behalfe
,
to
forsake
their
wife
,
children
,
father
,
mother
,
brother
,
sister
,
to
leaue
their
friends
,
and
onely
betake
them
against
their
enemies
,
contented
to
yeeld
themselues
to
continuall
watch
,
ward
,
fasting
,
hunger
,
thirst
,
cold
,
heate
,
trauell
,
toyle
,
ouer
hils
,
woods
,
deserts
,
wading
through
riuers
,
where
many
sometimes
lose
their
liues
by
the
way
,
lying
in
the
field
in
raine
,
wind
,
frost
and
snow
,
aduenturing
against
the
enemy
,
the
lacke
of
limmes
,
the
losse
of
life
,
making
their
bodies
a
fence
and
bulwarke
against
the
shot
of
the
canon
.
But
the
warres
being
once
finished
,
and
that
there
is
no
need
of
them
,
how
be
they
rewarded
,
how
be
they
cherished
,
what
account
is
there
made
of
them
,
what
other
thing
gaine
they
then
slander
,
misreport
,
false
impositions
,
hatred
and
despight
.
How
small
is
the
number
that
bee
in
England
of
sufficient
men
,
such
I
meane
as
be
able
in
deed
,
in
the
time
of
seruice
,
to
stand
their
countrie
in
stead
,
to
any
purpose
,
and
yet
how
many
of
this
small
number
haue
euer
beene
brought
to
credit
,
or
beene
any
thing
preferred
,
for
the
seruice
they
haue
done
?
And
O
England
,
would
to
God
so
many
presidents
of
others
mishaps
might
make
thee
take
heed
,
&
call
thy selfe
to
remembrance
:
consider
thy
enemies
be
not
so
secret
,
but
they
be
as
malicious
,
and
haue
staide
all
this
whyle
neither
for
want
of
quarrell
,
neither
for
want
of
will
,
if
they
themselues
were
once
at
quiet
:
nor
flatter
not
thy selfe
because
thou
hast
enioyed
a
peaceable
time
,
that
it
shall
still
indure
,
but
remember
the
longer
it
hath
beene
calme
,
the
sooner
the
storme
is
looked
for
,
and
the
greater
the
rage
when
it
falleth
.
If
thou
doest
well
looke
into
thy selfe
,
and
ponder
thine
owne
case
,
thou
shalt
finde
,
that
if
any
sodaine
alarum
should
happen
,
thy
greatest
want
shal
be
onely
of
those
men
that
now
thou
holdest
in
so
small
estimation
,
and
doest
esteeme
of
so
litle
accompt
.
If
thou
thinkest
thy
great
numbers
of
vntrayned
men
,
are
sufficient
to
defend
thee
,
doe
but
remember
what
happened
to
Antwerp
,
where
they
wanted
neither
men
,
nor
any
other
prouision
for
the
warres
.
But
they
wanted
souldiours
to
direct
them
,
and
men
of
vnderstanding
to
encourage
them
:
For
the
want
of
knowledge
breedeth
the
want
of
courage
,
as
Salomon
sayth
,
A
wyse
man
is
euer
strong
:
And
Xerxes
,
who
with
a
great
armie
,
was
put
to
the
worst
but
with
300
Lacedemonians
,
confessed
that
he
forced
not
so
much
for
the
multitude
,
as
for
their
knowledge
and
experience
.
I
could
here
rehearse
many
other
examples
of
like
effect
,
but
I
leaue
them
till
other
occasion
,
&
will
conclude
with
what
care
and
prouision
sundrie
noble
Princes
haue
prouided
for
their
souldiouts
,
not
onely
in
the
time
of
warre
when
they
haue
had
need
of
them
:
but
aswell
in
the
time
of
peace
for
their
seruice
already
done
,
that
they
should
not
want
,
according
to
the
minde
of
Alexander
Seuerus
,
who
sayth
,
The
souldiour
is
worthy
his
keeping
in
the
time
of
peace
,
that
hath
honestly
serued
his
countrie
in
the
time
of
warre
,
although
for
age
he
can
not
trauell
,
yet
his
counsell
may
non
be
spared
.
And
Iesus
the
sonne
of
Sirach
sayth
,
There
bee
two
things
that
greeue
my
heart
,
and
in
the
third
is
a
displeasure
come
vpon
me
,
when
an
expert
man
of
warre
suffreth
scarcenes
and
pouertie
,
when
men
of
vnderstanding
and
wisedome
are
not
set
by
,
and
when
one
departes
from
righteousnesse
to
siune
,
&c.
Octauian
Augustus
honored
souldiours
with
this
law
:
Whatsoeuer
thou
be
that
shalt
serue
with
vs
in
warres
ten
yeeres
space
,
so
that
thou
shalt
be
forty
yeeres
old
,
whether
thou
hast
serued
on
foot
or
on
horse-back
,
hereafter
be
thou
free
from
warres
,
be
thou
Heros
,
an
old
souldier
:
let
no
man
forbid
thee
the
citie
,
the
streete
,
the
temple
,
nor
his
house
:
let
no
man
lay
any
blame
to
thy
charge
,
put
any
burden
vpon
thee
,
or
aske
thee
any
money
:
if
thou
shalt
offend
in
any
thing
,
looke
to
be
chastised
by
Caesar
and
by
no
man
else
.
In
all
dishonefty
that
men
shall
commit
,
I
will
that
thou
be
the
Iudge
,
and
discloser
,
whether
they
be
priuate
or
officers
:
that
which
thou
shalt
say
and
affirme
for
trueth
,
no
man
shall
reproue
for
false
.
I
will
that
all
wayes
and
places
be
open
for
thee
,
thou
shalt
haue
authority
to
eate
and
drinke
at
princes
tables
:
thou
shalt
yeerely
haue
wages
of
the
common
treasurie
to
finde
thee
and
thy
houshold
:
let
her
be
preferred
before
other
women
,
whom
thou
shalt
take
to
be
thy
lawfull
wife
:
and
he
that
thou
shalt
call
infamous
,
let
him
be
wicked
and
infamous
:
thou
being
Heros
,
shalt
haue
authority
to
beare
armes
,
badges
,
names
,
and
ornaments
,
which
be
decent
for
a
king
:
doe
what
thou
list
in
euery
place
and
country
where
thou
commest
,
if
any
do
thee
wrong
let
his
head
be
cut
off
.
&c.
Charles
the
great
,
when
he
had
translated
the
name
of
the
Empire
to
the
Gormanes
,
after
the
Saxons
and
Lombards
were
vanquished
,
gaue
this
honor
to
his
souldiers
,
saying
:
You
shall
be
called
Heroes
,
the
companions
of
Kings
,
and
Iudges
of
offences
:
liue
ye
hereafter
voide
of
labour
,
counsell
Kings
in
the
publike
authority
,
reproue
dishonest
things
,
fauour
women
,
help
Orphanes
,
let
not
Princes
lack
your
counsell
,
and
aske
of
them
meate
,
drinke
and
money
,
if
any
shall
deny
it
,
let
him
be
unrenowmed
&
infamous
:
if
any
doe
you
iniury
,
let
him
know
he
hath
offended
the
Emperors
Maiesty
:
but
ye
shall
foresee
,
that
ye
distaine
not
so
great
an
honour
,
and
so
great
a
priuiledge
,
gotten
by
the
great
labour
of
warre
,
with
drunkennesse
,
rayling
,
or
any
other
vice
:
to
the
end
,
that
that
which
we
haue
giuen
you
for
glory
,
redound
not
to
punishment
,
which
we
will
for
euer
reserue
to
be
giuen
you
by
vs
and
our
successors
,
Emperors
of
Rome
,
as
often
as
you
shall
transgresse
.
And
Polycrates
of
Samos
,
appointed
liuing
for
the
wiues
and
children
of
the
dead
souldiers
,
streightly
commaunding
,
that
no
man
should
offend
them
,
or
do
them
any
wrong
.
Solon
made
this
law
,
that
those
children
,
whose
fathers
had
spent
their
liues
in
fighting
in
the
defence
of
the
common
wealth
,
should
be
brought
vp
at
the
charges
of
the
common
treasure
.
But
what
doe
I
stand
reciting
of
strange
histories
,
forepassed
so
many
yeeres
sithence
:
Why
do
I
not
remember
the
Frenchmen
and
Spaniards
,
amongst
whom
at
this
instant
men
of
seruice
be
not
a
little
honoured
,
and
had
in
estimation
:
And
goe
to
the
drunken
countries
of
Denmarke
and
Swethen
,
and
those
other
partes
of
the
East
,
and
how
be
souldiers
cherished
,
&
men
of
seruice
prouided
for
.
Here
might
be
many
other
things
said
in
the
behalfe
of
souldiers
,
the
which
I
omit
,
and
leauing
them
to
the
benefit
of
better
fortune
,
will
come
to
speake
of
the
abuse
of
the
time
.
THE
SECOND
PART
SHEWING
THE
time
,
when
warres
ought
to
be
put
in
execution
.
HOwsoeuer
I
know
some
will
condemne
my
discourse
as
friuolous
and
fruitelesse
:
For
howsoeuer
in
other
nations
there
hath
bene
a
greater
effusion
of
the
blood
of
men
,
then
of
Beasts
,
yet
we
haue
securely
slept
vpon
our
Couches
of
ease
,
and
furfeited
of
ease
and
plentie
,
yet
though
it
be
the
part
of
a
foole
at
the
sea
,
to
wish
for
a
storme
,
when
the
weather
is
calme
:
so
I
know
likewise
in
the
time
of
calme
,
to
prouide
for
a
storme
,
is
the
point
of
a
wise
mariner
:
for
who
considereth
not
,
to
whatdisposition
Kings
and
Princes
be
commonly
inclined
vnto
,
in
these
latter
dayes
:
which
is
,
to
haue
greater
felicitie
,
with
Tyranny
to
offend
others
,
then
with
iustice
and
equitie
to
keepe
their
owne
:
it
ought
therefore
with
great
diligence
to
be
prouided
for
,
that
like
as
in
the
time
of
warre
,
circumspect
care
of
peace
may
not
be
omitted
:
so
in
the
time
of
peace
,
such
things
may
be
foreseene
,
appertayning
to
the
warre
,
that
the
want
of
warlike
prouisions
,
be
not
preiudiciall
to
the
maintenance
of
this
sweet
and
quiet
peace
.
And
the
very
occasion
that
vrgeth
me
to
wryte
,
is
to
wish
that
in
England
we
were
expert
warriers
,
though
not
warre
louers
:
and
that
we
had
many
that
were
wise
,
rather
then
willing
souldiers
.
But
where
peace
is
so
immediatly
desired
,
that
in
preferring
thereof
they
forget
all
Martiall
exercises
,
which
is
the
very
preseruer
,
&
maintainer
of
peace
,
(
according
to
the
minde
of
Valerius
Maximus
,
who
sayth
,
That
the
custodie
of
blessed
peace
consisteth
in
the
knowledge
of
warre
)
it
can
not
be
chosen
therefore
,
but
those
people
be
euer
neerest
their
owne
harme
,
that
will
so
carelesly
spend
the
time
of
peace
,
as
though
they
should
neuer
more
haue
occasion
to
enter
into
warre
,
And
generally
it
is
seene
,
where
pleasure
is
preferred
so
excessiuely
,
and
the
people
follow
it
so
inordinately
,
that
they
lie
and
wallow
in
it
so
carelesly
,
they
commonly
end
with
it
most
miserably
.
For
how
many
Cities
,
how
many
Countries
,
which
sometime
most
of
all
florished
,
onely
by
reason
of
their
farre
stretched
Empire
,
glory
and
renowme
,
purchased
by
famous
and
noble
actes
,
are
now
beaten
flat
to
the
ground
,
couered
with
mould
,
and
almost
out
of
remembrance
.
Where
are
now
become
the
dominions
of
the
Assyrians
and
Persians
?
What
is
become
of
the
glory
of
the
rich
citie
Athens
:
which
had
bene
so
often
forewarned
by
that
excellent
Orator
Demosthenes
?
Or
where
is
now
the
pomp
and
power
of
the
Macedonia●s
?
Or
what
hath
wasted
the
fame
and
renowme
of
the
citie
of
Rome
,
that
it
had
not
bene
perpetnall
.
What
other
thing
then
this
inordinate
delicacie
,
ryot
and
idlenesse
:
For
when
they
ouer
neglected
the
seates
of
warre
,
layd
aside
their
weapons
,
sought
more
for
their
owne
priuate
aduancement
,
then
for
the
liberties
of
their
Countrie
:
then
came
their
kingdomes
to
calamity
,
&
began
headlong
to
fall
to
the
ground
:
and
then
in
the
stead
of
frugality
sprung
vp
outragious
ryot
:
in
stead
of
hardinesse
and
courage
in
the
warres
,
exceeding
tendernesse
,
and
nicenesse
,
both
of
body
and
minde
:
and
thus
when
the
knowlege
of
Souldierfare
was
extinguished
:
then
vnsatiable
desire
of
riches
made
entrie
amongst
them
,
and
nothing
so
much
practised
,
as
to
haue
experience
in
buying
and
selling
,
that
in
the
ende
,
the
Emperiall
Crowne
was
bought
and
sold
for
money
amongst
them
:
and
the
Romane
Empyre
which
so
mightily
had
florished
:
was
now
made
subiect
to
common
thraldome
.
But
for
that
there
are
some
,
that
are
nothing
moued
with
reading
of
histories
,
monuments
,
or
the
examples
of
auncient
wryters
,
vnlesse
they
haue
knowne
the
like
in
their
age
,
or
seene
with
their
eyes
,
or
as
it
were
touched
with
their
singer
,
I
will
therefore
put
such
in
remembrance
of
the
state
and
condition
of
Holland
,
Zeland
,
Flanders
,
Brabant
,
and
other
partes
of
the
low
cuntries
:
How
many
yeers
continued
they
in
peace
&
quietnesse
:
in
drunkennesse
,
in
lechery
,
in
ryot
,
in
excesse
,
in
gluttony
,
in
wantonnesse
?
(
I
will
not
say
in
the
like
predicament
that
we
now
remaine
in
England
)
the
which
to
continue
,
they
were
contented
to
submit
themselues
to
any
manner
of
thraldome
,
and
to
euery
kinde
of
slauery
,
to
receiue
the
Spaniards
into
their
cities
and
townes
,
which
were
naturally
seated
so
strong
,
that
no
forreine
Prince
could
forceably
haue
made
entrie
into
them
.
How
the
Spaniards
gouerned
them
,
with
what
rigour
they
ruled
them
,
and
how
tyrannously
they
raigned
ouer
them
,
is
so
well
knowne
,
as
I
will
not
spend
the
time
to
relate
:
in
the
end
,
to
disburden
themselues
from
that
which
before
they
had
yeelded
vnto
,
by
necessity
they
were
inforced
to
goe
to
Mars
his
schoole
,
and
to
practise
the
art
of
warre
,
which
had
euer
bin
most
loathsome
vnto
them
,
not
without
great
ruine
and
wrack
,
of
many
noble
cities
and
townes
,
and
with
no
lesse
spoyle
and
hauock
of
infinite
goods
and
riches
.
For
like
as
the
desire
to
haue
dominion
ouer
many
kingdomes
,
and
to
haue
Soueraingty
ouer
farre
stretched
Empires
,
is
a
common
infirmity
amongst
Kings
&
Princes
:
so
there
is
nothing
may
sooner
prouoke
them
to
giue
attempt
,
then
where
they
see
such
forgetfulnesse
amongst
the
people
,
that
sloath
and
idlenesse
beareth
the
whole
sway
among
them
:
As
Plutarch
in
his
Apothegmaes
,
maketh
report
of
a
famous
captain
,
to
whom
a
certain
reader
of
the
Athemans
made
his
complaint
,
that
the
men
of
armes
in
his
camp
reproched
them
of
Athens
,
to
whom
the
captaine
made
answer
,
that
as
the
thing
that
is
well
kept
,
is
hardly
lost
,
and
that
nothing
prouokes
the
theefe
sooner
then
negligence
:
So
,
if
the
Athenians
had
tyed
care
and
circumspection
to
their
wordes
and
deedes
,
they
had
neuer
falne
into
the
hands
of
the
Lacedemonians
.
And
Cambyses
the
father
of
Cyrus
King
of
Persia
,
being
asked
by
what
meanes
Cities
might
best
be
kept
in
safety
,
aunswered
,
If
they
that
kept
the
same
Cities
,
doe
thinke
they
can
neuer
be
warie
inough
of
their
enemies
:
the
which
in
the
Massilians
was
charily
performed
,
who
kept
both
ward
and
watch
in
their
Cities
in
the
time
of
peace
,
as
if
they
had
beene
continually
vexed
and
troubled
with
warre
,
and
to
that
purpose
,
instituted
sundry
good
ordinances
,
vpon
the
holy
dayes
to
see
their
Souldiours
standing
vpon
the
walles
,
and
exercising
themselues
in
the
feates
of
armes
.
And
that
notable
Captaine
Epaminondas
,
whyle
the
Citizens
of
Thebes
gaue
themselues
to
feasting
,
banqueting
and
bellie
cheere
,
ranne
hastily
to
arme
him selfe
,
and
marched
towards
the
citie
walles
,
to
the
ende
the
rest
might
be
the
safelier
drunke
,
and
aswell
to
signifie
,
that
the
safety
of
their
Citie
should
at
no
time
be
forgotten
.
And
although
King
Solomon
.
who
in
the
holy
Scriptures
is
called
Rex
pacificas
,
and
was
promised
by
the
mouth
of
God
a
peaceable
raigne
,
and
was
still
busied
,
and
turmoyled
with
the
building
of
the
holy
Temple
:
yet
notwithstanding
,
he
was
not
forgetfull
to
furnish
his
garrisons
with
innumerable
men
of
warre
,
horses
and
chariots
.
To
be
short
,
there
is
,
neither
hath
bene
any
well
gouerned
Common-wealth
,
but
the
lawes
of
Armes
be
as
carefully
prouided
for
,
as
any
other
citie
causes
:
but
where
delicacy
once
preuayleth
and
getteth
the
vpper
hand
,
there
adew
Martiall
mindes
,
and
farewell
magnanimitie
,
where
slouthfulnesse
hath
once
made
entrie
:
for
the
noblenesse
that
is
to
be
looked
for
in
a
princely
and
hautie
courage
,
though
it
be
chiefly
wrought
by
the
force
of
the
minde
:
so
the
body
must
be
exercised
,
and
brought
in
such
plight
,
as
it
may
be
made
able
to
follow
paine
and
trauell
.
Were
not
the
old
souldiours
of
Hanniball
,
in
lying
but
one
winter
in
Capua
,
spending
the
time
in
wantonnesse
amongst
the
delicate
Dames
,
so
effeminated
and
infeebled
,
both
in
body
and
minde
,
that
they
neuer
did
any
thing
afterward
,
that
was
worthy
of
report
.
And
Xerxes
being
offended
with
the
Babylonians
,
because
they
trayterously
had
shrunke
from
him
:
when
he
had
againe
brought
them
vnder
,
he
forbad
them
to
beare
any
more
weapons
,
&
further
commaunded
them
,
that
they
should
sing
to
the
Lute
,
and
other
Instruments
,
learne
to
keepe
harlots
,
and
haunt
Tauernes
,
which
policy
he
of
purpose
prepared
,
to
weaken
their
courages
,
whereby
he
might
the
better
keep
them
vnder
awe
.
The
knowledge
of
warre
therefore
,
and
the
exercise
of
armes
are
especially
to
be
sought
,
neither
can
I
tell
whether
any
thing
be
more
noble
,
by
the
which
so
great
dominions
and
noble
Empires
haue
bene
purchased
,
Kingdomes
enlarged
,
Princes
preserued
,
iustice
maintained
,
good
lawes
protected
,
and
the
common
wealth
defended
.
Great
is
the
glory
in
the
knowledge
of
warre
therefore
:
neither
hath
the
citie
of
Athens
atchieued
so
great
renowme
and
glory
,
although
it
merited
to
bee
called
the
mother
of
all
artes
and
sciences
,
as
Rome
hath
done
,
onely
by
magnanimity
,
and
force
of
Martiall
might
:
which
brought
such
reputation
to
their
Common
wealth
,
that
farre
and
strange
regions
sought
their
aliance
and
friendship
,
and
thought
themselues
assured
against
their
enemies
,
if
they
had
confederation
with
them
,
that
in
the
ende
,
they
grew
to
such
admiration
,
that
for
their
lenitie
and
surmounting
curtesie
,
they
were
of
all
men
beloued
,
and
for
their
valiant
magnanimitie
,
they
were
of
all
men
feared
.
Neither
was
this
magnificence
vpholden
by
doing
wrong
and
iniury
:
for
they
neuer
attempted
warres
but
for
things
in
claime
,
or
in
defence
of
league
friends
.
The
Senate
might
rather
haue
bene
termed
,
the
protection
,
hauen
,
and
refuge
of
kings
,
people
,
and
nations
,
more
truely
then
the
Empire
of
the
world
.
Neither
were
they
found
rash
to
enter
into
warres
headily
,
although
they
had
occasion
,
as
did
appeare
at
the
citie
of
Sagunto
,
where
the
people
of
Carthage
brake
the
league
,
and
defied
peace
:
yet
the
Senate
sent
thither
Ambassadour
Fabius
Maximus
,
with
two
tables
,
the
one
contalning
peace
,
the
other
warres
,
putting
the
election
to
their
owne
choice
,
as
it
is
liked
themselues
to
choose
,
although
the
Romanes
themselues
,
could
best
defend
their
cause
.
But
did
the
Romanes
game
this
glory
by
enuring
themselues
to
liue
in
delicate
idlenesse
,
in
dicing
,
in
carding
,
in
dancing
,
in
whoring
,
in
banquetting
,
in
reuelling
,
and
in
roysting
:
no
,
but
ordained
most
sharpand
bitter
punishments
to
expell
them
,
and
with
disgrace
to
dant
those
that
were
the
practisers
and
followers
of
them
.
Where
contrarily
,
to
prouoke
and
pricke
forward
Martiall
mindes
and
manly
wights
,
to
the
studie
of
chiualry
and
Martiall
affaires
,
they
ordained
glorious
triumphs
,
liberal
rewards
and
honourable
titles
:
which
was
the
very
cause
that
the
citie
grew
to
be
so
great
,
and
large
in
Empire
:
for
where
valiance
and
prowesse
was
so
honourably
rewarded
,
not
onely
Noble
men
,
but
also
inferiour
persons
were
so
inflamed
with
desire
of
renowne
,
that
no
danger
was
left
vndealt
withall
,
nor
no
perill
left
vnproued
,
where
there
was
glory
to
be
gained
,
or
the
saftie
of
their
countrie
might
be
preserued
.
The
two
Decit
,
by
race
and
birth
were
no
gentlemen
borne
yet
by
their
valiance
and
fortitude
,
they
aspired
to
the
highest
type
of
dignitie
in
their
commonwealth
,
and
in
their
countries
defence
,
consecrated
themselues
,
as
valiant
and
vowed
vessells
,
to
glory
and
immortalitie
.
Neither
was
Lucius
Martius
,
borne
but
of
a
meane
parentage
,
yet
for
his
puissance
shewed
in
S●aine
,
he
receiued
of
his
countrie
great
honour
and
principalitie
.
By
these
meanes
,
the
libertie
of
their
countries
were
most
strongly
defended
,
and
the
indifferencie
of
their
lawes
were
chiefly
maintained
,
where
well
doing
is
so
liberally
rewarded
For
what
greater
dishonor
may
there
be
in
a
commonwealth
then
where
worthy
acts
&
high
attempts
receiue
but
cold
reward
?
Or
what
reward
,
may
that
country
thinke
to
much
to
bestow
on
him
that
hath
not
spared
his
own
life
to
fight
in
the
defence
.
There
be
sundry
examples
in
the
holy
Scripture
,
tending
to
the
same
effect
,
for
when
the
children
of
Israel
were
pursued
by
Pharoh
,
and
th●●
they
began
to
stagger
in
the
promises
of
God
:
the
tribe
of
Inda
did
manifestly
shew
forth
,
farre
greater
courage
and
valiance
then
the
rest
,
who
lingred
not
nor
drew
backe
,
but
with
a
maruellous
constancie
,
by
the
example
of
Moses
aduentured
first
the
sea
,
by
whose
stout
stomaches
the
rest
were
incouraged
to
follow
:
For
which
fact
,
the
people
of
Juda
were
euer
afterwards
more
honoured
then
the
rest
,
and
such
had
the
principalitie
amongst
the
twelue
tribes
,
as
were
descended
of
the
tribe
of
Iuda
.
In
like
manner
,
Solomon
made
the
Hethites
,
the
Amorites
,
the
Pheresites
,
the
Heuites
and
the
Iebusites
,
to
become
tributaries
,
and
to
labour
in
the
building
:
but
of
the
children
of
Israel
,
he
made
men
of
warre
,
captaines
,
great
Lords
,
and
rulers
.
And
Socrates
in
a
certaine
fable
vseth
these
words
:
All
you
that
liue
in
one
cittie
,
are
brethren
,
being
streightly
linked
and
vnited
together
:
but
when
God
created
you
,
he
gaue
not
euery
one
a
like
propertie
,
for
they
that
were
most
meete
to
rule
,
he
tempered
with
gold
:
and
those
that
in
defence
of
their
countrie
would
valiantly
assist
Kings
and
Princes
,
he
mingled
them
with
siluer
:
and
to
such
as
should
apply
themselues
to
tillage
and
other
meane
occupations
,
he
bestowed
brasse
and
iron
:
now
it
falleth
out
generally
that
they
ingender
children
like
to
themselues
:
but
sometimes
it
happeneth
a
golden
father
to
haue
a
siluer
sonne
.
He
willeth
therefore
,
that
they
should
take
in
no
one
thing
,
more
speciall
regard
,
then
diligently
to
search
,
with
what
mettall
their
childrens
mindes
bee
tempered
with
,
so
that
if
there
bee
found
any
brasse
or
iron
in
their
childrens
senses
,
they
should
assigne
them
such
a
trade
conuenient
,
and
agreeing
with
their
grosse
and
rude
nature
:
but
if
they
finde
in
them
any
gold
or
siluer
,
they
should
bestow
on
them
honourable
roomes
,
and
that
they
should
be
trained
vp
in
the
knowledge
of
Martiall
affaires
.
The
Romanes
ordained
for
that
purpose
,
a
long
spacious
sield
,
which
they
called
,
Campus
Martius
,
wherein
the
youth
of
the
citie
was
exercised
in
Martiall
feates
,
and
to
enure
their
bodies
,
both
for
their
owne
health
,
and
also
that
they
might
be
made
the
more
profitable
members
for
their
common
wealth
in
the
time
of
warres
.
The
Lacedemonians
vsed
their
children
to
goe
barefooted
,
exercising
them
in
running
,
in
leaping
,
and
in
casting
the
dart
,
in
which
exercises
they
were
continually
practised
:
from
whence
Diogenes
on
a
time
returning
,
and
going
to
Athens
,
was
asked
from
whence
he
came
,
and
whither
he
would
:
I
come
(
said
he
)
from
amongst
men
,
and
am
going
among
women
.
I
wonder
if
Diogenes
were
now
liuing
,
and
going
into
England
,
whither
he
would
say
he
were
going
,
if
he
were
demanded
:
where
we
be
wholly
nusled
in
wantonnesse
,
and
onely
nourished
in
daintinesse
,
both
in
minde
,
manners
,
and
diet
:
where
we
be
altogether
made
strangers
to
Martiall
actions
,
and
vtterly
alienated
from
Lawes
and
deedes
of
Armes
,
where
no
consideration
is
had
of
Martiall
mindes
,
where
prouision
for
defence
is
neuer
called
in
question
.
Here
peraduenture
some
will
say
vnto
me
,
Good
sir
,
if
you
would
but
put
on
your
spectacles
,
and
looke
into
the
Tower
of
London
,
you
might
see
that
neither
Ordnance
,
shot
,
powder
,
pike
,
caliuer
,
armour
,
nor
any
other
furnitures
conuenient
for
the
Warres
were
any
whit
lacking
:
from
thence
,
if
it
pleased
you
but
to
sayle
downe
in
Grauesend
Barge
,
you
haue
but
fiue
miles
to
Rochester
,
where
you
might
likewise
take
the
view
of
so
worthy
a
Fleete
of
royall
ships
,
as
no
Prince
in
Europe
may
make
comparison
with
the
like
.
Call
you
not
these
prouisions
of
defence
,
where
no
munitions
fit
for
the
warres
are
any
whit
wanting
?
Very
true
indeede
,
which
doth
argue
the
speciall
care
his
Maiesty
hath
euer
had
,
not
onely
in
making
of
such
prouision
,
but
also
at
sundry
times
,
he
hath
likewise
instituted
diuers
good
ordinances
for
the
training
of
men
,
the
which
hath
beene
still
discontinued
by
his
subiects
,
such
as
will
pine
at
the
spending
of
one
pound
of
powder
,
towards
the
practising
of
those
that
should
fight
for
their
safety
.
Wherefore
I
neede
vse
no
other
answere
,
then
King
Philip
vsed
to
that
noble
Captaine
Antipater
,
which
was
this
.
What
searest
thou
man
,
any
Captaine
of
Athens
?
Their
Gallies
and
their
Peeres
are
but
trifles
and
toyes
vnto
me
:
For
what
account
is
to
be
made
of
those
fellowes
that
giue
themselues
to
dauncing
,
hoyting
,
banquetting
,
and
to
bellie
cheare
?
that
if
Demosthenes
onely
were
not
amongst
them
,
I
would
sooner
get
Athens
then
Thebes
or
Thessaly
,
&c.
So
,
to
what
effect
serue
all
these
warrelike
furnitures
,
where
there
are
not
men
experienced
to
vse
them
;
and
where
men
be
trained
onely
in
pleasure
,
how
apt
be
they
to
endure
the
perplexities
of
warre
:
and
how
hardly
are
they
fashioned
to
the
vse
of
weapons
,
that
neuer
haue
had
any
exercise
in
them
,
and
with
what
difficultie
are
they
prepared
to
the
field
,
when
they
haue
neuer
beene
accustomed
to
march
.
But
I
haue
heard
many
say
,
that
souldiers
may
well
be
trained
in
one
moneth
,
and
made
fit
for
the
warres
,
and
indeed
I
I
am
of
this
opinion
,
that
he
that
in
one
moneth
will
not
learne
the
vse
of
his
weapon
,
whereto
he
shall
be
sorted
,
and
to
learn
to
march
in
order
of
array
,
being
throughly
instructed
by
a
diligent
and
painfull
Captaine
,
I
am
fully
resolued
,
that
that
man
wil
neuer
make
good
souldier
.
But
as
our
souldiers
in
England
are
accustomably
leuied
,
a
Captaine
shall
haue
much
to
do
to
make
a
great
part
of
them
for
euer
being
souldiers
at
all
.
But
admit
,
that
Souldies
may
be
trained
and
made
ready
in
a
moneth
,
yet
during
that
space
,
our
enemies
would
commit
greater
spoiles
vpon
vs
,
then
we
should
be
able
to
recouer
againe
in
sixe
weekes
after
.
Moreouer
in
the
day
seruice
,
I
had
rather
haue
one
thousand
such
as
haue
already
seene
&
skirmished
with
the
enemy
,
then
foure
thousand
of
such
hastie
mad
souldiers
,
that
are
but
trained
vp
,
as
it
were
at
a
Midsummer
sight
,
or
at
the
fetching
home
of
a
Maypole
.
For
proofe
hereof
,
I
could
shew
many
examples
,
but
it
were
but
in
vaine
,
considering
there
is
no
man
of
reason
but
will
conceiue
it
to
be
true
:
and
such
as
haue
experience
will
confesse
I
am
nothing
deceiued
in
my
opinion
.
And
to
say
the
truth
,
if
in
England
wee
should
haue
need
to
vse
any
reasonable
number
,
there
would
hardly
be
found
conductors
,
such
as
be
sufficient
in
deede
for
the
training
of
them
.
For
Gentlemen
that
are
descended
of
honourable
families
in
these
daies
,
giue
themselues
rather
to
become
Battalus
knights
then
Martiall
wights
,
and
haue
greater
desire
to
be
practised
in
Carpet
trade
,
then
in
that
kinde
of
vertue
,
which
extendeth
it selfe
to
the
common
profit
,
and
preseruation
of
the
Country
.
And
I
cannot
but
matuel
,
what
moueth
so
many
men
to
make
such
great
account
of
their
gentility
,
that
they
thinke
themselues
worthy
of
such
honour
and
estimation
:
and
yet
haue
no
regard
to
the
renowne
or
prceminence
,
that
is
annexed
vnto
it
:
for
(
as
Cicero
saith
)
Truely
,
the
best
inheritance
that
Fathers
leque
to
their
Children
,
and
more
worthy
then
all
aliue
,
is
the
glory
of
vertue
,
and
worthy
deedes
,
whereunto
to
be
a
staine
,
it
is
to
be
accounted
both
vice
and
shame
.
But
what
reputation
bring
they
to
their
Houses
,
that
licentiously
in
riot
rome
to
and
fto
,
not
knowing
in
what
fashion
to
disguise
themselues
,
what
countenance
they
should
beare
in
the
streetes
nor
with
what
curiosity
they
should
giue
intertainment
,
furnished
with
three
or
foure
French
,
Italian
,
or
Spanish
words
,
thinking
that
the
whole
glory
consisted
in
being
newfangled
in
their
apparell
,
strange
in
their
conceits
,
and
as
dainty
in
their
diets
,
as
Dame
Folly
her selfe
,
when
shee
is
going
of
her
first
childe
.
To
be
short
,
in
England
Gentlemen
haue
robbed
our
Women
of
their
mindes
,
and
our
Women
haue
bereaued
vs
of
halfe
our
apparell
.
Where
Gentlemen
ought
rather
to
indeauour
themselues
to
such
exercises
of
vertuous
acts
,
whereby
they
might
giue
such
cleare
light
,
and
purchase
true
fame
to
their
posterity
,
according
as
their
predecestors
haue
left
vnto
them
,
of
which
they
themselues
doe
so
mightily
boast
of
:
and
especially
,
to
giue
themselues
to
such
exercises
,
wherein
labour
prepareth
the
body
to
hardinesse
,
and
the
minde
to
couragiousnesse
,
neither
suffering
the
one
to
be
marred
with
tendernesse
,
nor
the
other
to
be
hurt
with
idlenesse
.
As
we
reade
of
Sardanapalus
,
who
was
scorned
as
an
effeminate
King
,
who
choose
rather
to
sit
and
spinne
amongst
Women
,
then
to
learne
to
weld
weapons
:
against
whom
,
when
Belochas
and
Arbases
made
insurrection
,
he
fled
,
and
durst
not
shew
himselfe
in
the
field
.
Xenophon
maketh
mention
how
Hercules
being
but
a
young
man
,
musing
whereunto
he
might
apply
his
noble
minde
,
there
appeared
vnto
him
two
goodly
young
women
,
the
one
very
gorgious
and
braue
:
with
ringes
on
her
fingers
,
a
chaine
about
her
neck
,
her
haire
set
and
frizeled
,
with
pearles
and
diamonds
in
her
eares
:
the
other
sober
in
her
cheere
,
comely
in
her
apparell
,
modest
in
her
behauiour
,
shamefast
in
her
countenance
.
The
first
said
:
Hercules
,
if
thou
wilt
serue
me
,
thou
shalt
haue
gold
and
siluer
inough
,
thou
shalt
feede
daintily
,
thou
shalt
liue
Princely
,
thou
shalt
enioy
pleasures
,
imbrace
delightes
,
possesse
mirth
.
In
fine
,
thou
shalt
haue
all
things
to
thine
owne
contentation
,
that
appertaine
to
ease
,
rest
and
quietnesse
.
Then
spake
the
other
with
demure
countenance
:
if
thou
wilt
serue
me
,
Hercules
,
thou
shalt
be
a
Victor
of
Conquerours
,
thou
shalt
subdue
kingdomes
,
and
ouerthrow
Kings
,
thou
shalt
be
aduaunced
vnto
fame
,
renowmed
in
the
world
,
&
shalt
deserue
praise
both
of
man
and
woman
.
Hercules
perceiuing
the
idle
seruice
of
the
first
,
and
the
fame
and
renowme
that
was
to
be
gayned
by
the
second
,
chose
her
for
his
mistris
:
&
I
thinke
sent
the
other
into
England
,
where
at
this
present
she
is
duetifully
serued
.
But
I
thinke
the
very
occasion
why
many
do
not
indeauour
themselues
to
practise
to
be
souldiours
now
in
England
,
is
because
they
see
those
few
that
be
there
already
to
thriue
fo
ilfauouredly
by
their
occupation
,
that
they
rather
seeke
to
indeauour
themselues
where
there
is
either
pleasure
or
profit
to
be
gayned
,
which
is
not
in
Souldiour
fare
,
and
therefore
makes
them
to
become
Courtiers
,
Lawyers
,
or
Louers
.
The
Court
,
I
confesse
,
is
a
place
requisite
for
Gentlemen
to
know
,
so
their
mindes
might
not
be
seduced
with
the
vanities
thereof
,
whereby
they
should
be
inticed
,
not
to
follow
other
exercises
,
tending
more
to
their
honor
&
estimation
:
and
forsake
those
places
,
where
greater
glory
is
to
be
gained
then
any
doth
ordinarily
attaine
vnto
,
that
consumes
their
dayes
wholy
in
the
Court
:
for
he
that
fully
frames
himselfe
to
become
a
courtier
,
must
likewise
fraught
his
head
so
full
of
courting
toyes
,
that
there
will
be
no
roome
left
,
to
consider
of
matters
appertaining
more
to
his
credit
.
For
the
most
in
number
of
our
young
courtly
.
Gentlemen
thinke
that
the
greatest
grace
of
courting
,
consisteth
in
proude
and
hautie
counteuances
to
such
as
know
them
not
,
to
be
very
faire
spoken
,
bountifull
and
liberall
in
words
to
all
men
,
to
be
curious
in
cauilling
,
propounding
captious
questions
,
thereby
to
shew
a
singularity
of
their
wisedomes
:
for
the
helping
whereof
,
they
diligently
studie
bookes
for
the
purpose
,
as
Cornelius
Agrippa
de
vanitate
sciuntiarum
,
&
other
like
:
to
seeme
to
talke
of
farre
&
straunge
countries
,
of
the
maners
of
the
people
,
of
the
fertilitie
of
soyles
,
&
by
the
way
of
communication
,
able
to
dispute
of
all
things
,
but
in
deed
to
know
nothing
,
to
apply
their
pleasant
wits
to
scofting
,
quipping
,
gybing
,
and
taunting
,
whereby
they
may
be
accompted
merry
conceited
gentlemen
,
and
withall
,
they
must
learne
to
play
the
parasites
,
or
else
I
can
tell
them
,
they
will
neuer
learne
to
thriue
.
And
in
their
apparell
,
they
must
be
very
nice
&
neat
,
with
their
ruffes
finely
set
,
a
great
bundle
of
feathers
thrust
into
a
cap
,
which
must
like
wyse
be
of
such
a
bignesse
,
that
it
shall
be
able
to
hold
more
wit
then
three
of
them
haue
in
their
heades
.
They
must
be
rash
in
their
iudgements
,
curious
in
their
conceipts
,
they
must
be
bold
,
saucie
,
and
mallapert
,
which
they
themselues
terme
to
be
good
audacity
.
They
must
be
ready
to
espy
euery
mans
faults
,
but
not
to
see
their
owne
folly
.
But
what
should
I
stand
to
deciphre
the
vanities
of
our
courtiers
,
which
are
already
so
painted
foorth
in
their
colours
,
and
that
by
so
many
men
,
as
I
do
but
wast
the
time
in
vaine
about
them
:
I
doe
likewyse
acknowledge
,
that
the
law
is
especially
to
be
practised
by
Gentlemen
.
For
as
the
law
it selfe
is
most
honourable
amongst
men
:
so
those
that
should
be
practisers
,
professours
,
and
ministers
of
the
lawes
,
ought
likewyse
to
be
of
credit
and
estimation
.
But
our
Innes
of
court
in
these
dayes
are
so
furnished
with
Shomakess
sonnes
,
Taylers
sonnes
,
Inholders
sonnes
,
Farmers
sonnes
,
and
almost
there
is
not
so
meane
a
man
,
but
his
sonne
must
goe
to
the
Innes
of
court
:
and
they
,
when
they
haue
gotten
a
litle
law
,
because
they
will
not
mend
shoes
,
and
doe
as
their
fathers
haue
done
before
them
,
there
is
no
ho
in
their
getting
,
no
measure
in
their
taking
,
no
meane
in
their
brybing
,
nor
no
reason
n
their
extorting
.
These
be
they
,
that
by
Law
will
peruert
Law
,
and
what
one
Law
doth
make
,
they
will
bring
another
Law
shall
marre
.
These
be
they
that
laugh
,
when
other
men
mourne
and
that
make
themselues
rich
,
by
other
mens
follies
:
and
these
be
the
onely
men
that
bring
Law
and
Lawyers
into
such
Exclamations
.
But
of
all
other
people
that
doe
most
surmount
in
vanities
,
are
those
that
in
such
contagious
passions
,
consume
their
time
in
loue
,
that
as
Marcus
Aurelius
doth
affirme
,
he
that
doth
once
fall
in
loue
with
another
,
doth
euen
then
beginne
to
hate
himselfe
.
It
hath
many
times
been
had
in
question
,
from
whence
the
fury
of
this
malady
should
spring
:
but
the
greatest
part
doe
conclude
,
that
the
originall
thereof
doth
proceede
of
idlenesse
.
Loue
where
it
once
taketh
hold
,
it
tormenteth
the
patiente
with
such
strange
and
bitter
passions
,
that
it
reduceth
reason
into
rage
,
pleasure
into
paine
,
quietnesse
into
carefulnesse
,
mirth
into
madnesse
,
neither
maketh
it
any
exceptions
of
persons
,
either
old
or
young
,
rich
or
poore
,
weake
or
strong
,
foolish
or
discreet
,
that
as
Peter
Bouaystuan
,
a
notable
French
Authour
doth
write
,
that
if
all
the
Louers
that
are
in
the
World
,
were
made
in
one
whole
Army
,
there
is
neither
Emperour
,
nor
Monarch
,
but
would
be
amazed
to
see
such
a
company
of
Bedlem
fooles
in
a
cluster
.
But
he
that
should
take
the
view
of
their
countenances
,
gests
,
manners
,
furies
,
and
all
their
franticke
toyes
,
might
confesse
that
he
neuer
saw
a
more
strange
Metamorphosis
,
or
a
spectacle
more
ridiculous
to
laugh
at
.
If
at
any
time
they
haue
receiued
a
merry
countenance
of
their
beloued
,
good
God
,
how
gay
shall
you
see
them
in
their
apparell
,
how
chearefull
in
their
countenance
,
how
pleasantin
their
conceits
,
how
merry
in
their
moodes
:
then
they
bathe
in
brookes
of
blisse
,
they
swimme
in
seas
of
ioy
,
they
flow
in
flouds
of
felicity
,
they
houer
all
in
happinesse
,
they
flie
in
sweet
delights
,
they
banish
all
annoy
.
Contrarily
,
if
they
receiue
a
lowring
looke
,
then
you
shall
see
them
drowned
in
dumpes
,
they
plead
with
piteous
plaints
,
they
cry
with
continuall
clamours
,
they
forge
,
they
faine
,
they
flatter
,
they
lie
,
they
forsweare
,
other
whiles
falling
into
desperate
moodes
,
that
they
spare
not
to
blaspheme
the
Gods
,
to
curse
the
Heauens
,
to
blame
the
Planets
,
to
raile
on
the
destinies
,
to
cry
out
vpon
the
furies
,
to
forge
hell
,
to
counterfet
Sisiphus
,
to
play
Tantalus
,
to
faine
Titius
,
to
grone
with
Prometheus
,
to
burne
the
Winter
,
to
freeze
the
Summer
,
to
loath
the
night
,
to
hate
the
day
,
with
a
thousand
other
such
superstitious
follies
,
too
long
for
me
to
rehearse
.
Now
if
he
be
learned
,
and
that
he
be
able
to
write
a
verse
,
then
his
Pen
must
ply
to
paint
his
Mistresse
praise
,
shee
must
then
be
a
Pallas
for
her
wit
,
a
Diana
for
her
chastity
,
a
Venus
for
her
face
,
then
shee
shall
be
praised
by
proportion
:
first
her
Haires
are
wires
of
gold
,
her
Cheekes
are
made
of
Lillies
,
and
red
Roses
,
her
Browes
be
Arches
,
her
Eyes
Saphires
,
her
lookes
lightnings
,
her
mouth
Corall
,
her
teeth
Pearles
,
her
paps
Alablaster
balles
,
her
body
streight
,
her
belly
soft
,
from
thence
downe
ward
to
her
knees
,
I
thinke
is
made
of
Sugar
Candy
,
her
armes
,
her
hands
,
her
fingers
,
her
legges
,
her
feete
,
and
all
the
rest
of
her
body
shall
be
so
perfect
,
and
so
pure
,
that
of
my
conscience
,
the
worst
part
they
will
leaue
in
her
,
shall
be
her
soule
.
But
what
neede
I
heape
vp
so
many
words
in
this
matter
?
My
Pen
hath
not
the
power
to
paint
their
doting
deuises
:
neither
doe
I
minde
otherwise
then
to
wish
,
that
Gentlemen
should
set
aside
all
such
trifling
affaires
,
and
vaine
follies
,
and
to
shake
off
those
delightfull
desires
,
and
rather
to
indeuour
themselues
to
such
exercises
,
which
haue
gained
Hercules
,
Achilles
,
Theseus
,
Caius
,
Marius
,
Epaminondas
,
Themistocles
,
Alexander
,
Pyrrhus
,
Hannibal
,
Scipio
,
Pompey
,
Casar
,
with
diuers
others
,
such
immortall
glory
,
as
neither
the
enuious
rage
of
cruell
death
may
blemish
,
neither
the
furious
force
of
Fortunes
fickle
wheele
may
diminish
,
neither
the
tract
of
deuouring
time
shall
euer
be
able
to
remoue
from
memory
.
And
I
would
to
God
,
that
while
time
doth
yet
serue
vs
in
England
,
that
such
care
might
be
had
for
the
training
and
practising
of
men
,
that
we
should
not
be
found
altogether
so
carelesse
,
that
to
satisfie
all
our
voluptuous
pleasures
,
we
neuer
consider
the
preseruation
of
our
Country
and
Common
wealth
.
So
likewise
,
if
it
be
not
altogether
too
late
,
as
I
feare
me
it
is
,
I
would
wish
that
another
thing
were
looked
vnto
,
and
that
very
narrowly
,
wherein
we
haue
made
such
a
rodde
for
out
owne
tayles
,
as
there
is
no
question
,
but
in
the
end
it
must
of
force
fall
out
to
be
our
owne
scourge
.
And
this
it
is
:
We
had
in
England
so
great
a
benefit
,
as
it
might
haue
beene
vsed
,
as
no
other
Countrey
inuironing
about
vs
,
is
possessed
with
the
like
,
which
is
the
casting
of
yron
Ordnance
:
but
as
the
prouerbe
is
,
that
euery
commodity
bringeth
his
discommodity
,
so
this
commodity
bringeth
vs
double
discommodity
.
First
in
the
casting
,
it
consumeth
vs
our
woods
and
timber
,
in
such
sort
,
that
one
of
the
first
things
that
England
shall
want
,
will
be
of
timber
for
ships
,
which
is
all
made
hauocke
on
,
onely
about
those
yron
mils
.
In
the
end
comes
M.
Merchant
,
who
cares
not
(
for
his
owne
priuate
gaine
)
what
mischiefe
he
worketh
to
his
Countrey
:
or
sometimes
some
olde
bruised
souldier
,
that
hath
serued
the
Queene
in
her
warres
,
about
London
,
Lambeth
Marshes
,
or
the
out
sles
of
Islington
,
all
the
dayes
of
his
life
,
and
in
respect
of
his
good
seruice
,
must
get
a
commission
to
sell
two
or
three
hundred
pieces
of
this
yron
Ordnance
out
of
the
Realme
,
that
between
M.
Merchant
and
him
,
I
dare
vndertake
,
there
is
thrice
as
much
Ordinance
sold
out
of
the
Realme
,
as
is
within
the
Realme
,
and
that
some
of
our
Merchants
haue
felt
.
For
John
the
Frenchman
hath
been
at
Host
with
some
of
their
ships
,
and
Dauy
Drunkard
of
Flushing
,
and
his
fellowes
,
haue
not
been
behind
:
and
these
with
other
mo
,
were
not
able
to
goe
so
strongly
to
the
Sea
,
were
it
not
that
they
were
furnished
with
our
English
Ordnance
.
The
Spaniards
and
Portugals
haue
some
pretty
store
of
it
.
In
France
there
is
Rochel
,
Rosco
,
S.
Mallous
,
and
Deepe
,
their
ships
be
generally
as
well
furnished
with
our
Ordnance
,
as
any
Merchants
ships
in
the
Thames
.
The
mighty
Hound
of
D●nkerke
,
and
the
rest
of
the
Beagles
that
were
of
her
consorts
,
God
knowes
,
had
beene
able
to
haue
made
but
a
slender
cry
,
when
they
had
come
to
chase
,
had
it
not
beene
for
our
English
barkers
.
The
other
parts
of
Flanders
,
Zeland
,
and
Holland
,
both
vpon
the
walles
of
their
Townes
,
and
also
in
their
shipping
,
are
furnisht
with
the
like
.
I
haue
seene
euery
streete
in
Flushing
,
lye
as
full
of
English
Ordnance
,
as
if
it
had
beene
the
Tower
Wharfe
of
London
.
To
be
short
,
there
are
diuers
Townes
in
East
Freesland
,
with
Emden
,
Hambrough
,
Denmarke
,
Danske
,
Lubecke
,
Rye
,
Reuell
,
Swethen
,
with
diuers
other
Cities
and
Townes
of
those
East
parts
,
that
she
is
but
a
very
meane
Hulke
,
appertaining
to
any
of
these
places
,
which
hath
lesse
then
a
dozen
or
sixteene
peeces
of
our
English
Ordnance
in
her
.
Such
hath
beene
the
carelesnesse
of
this
our
peaceable
time
,
that
it
hath
not
onely
made
vs
weake
,
by
our
owne
neglecting
the
feates
of
armes
:
but
also
with
our
owne
artillerie
,
and
our
warrelike
munitions
,
we
haue
made
such
strong
as
be
our
enemies
,
as
I
feare
we
shall
finde
,
if
they
were
at
quietnes
amongst
themselues
.
And
thus
once
againe
I
can
wish
,
that
such
consideration
might
be
had
of
the
time
that
is
present
,
as
in
the
time
that
is
to
come
,
we
should
not
haue
cause
to
rue
it
.
And
here
although
I
know
my
skill
will
not
serue
me
,
nor
my
occasion
at
this
time
may
well
permit
me
,
to
speake
of
Martall
discipline
,
how
farre
it
is
decayed
from
the
first
ordidinance
and
institution
,
yet
gentle
Reader
,
not
doubting
but
thou
wilt
beare
with
me
,
as
well
for
the
want
of
the
one
,
as
for
the
necessitie
of
the
other
,
I
will
aduenture
to
speake
some
thing
thereo
.
We
doe
find
in
holy
Scriptures
,
and
that
in
seuerall
places
,
both
in
the
bookes
of
Moses
,
in
the
booke
of
Josua
and
others
where
they
haue
vsed
no
litle
regard
as
well
in
chusing
of
their
captaines
,
leaders
,
and
conductors
,
as
also
in
their
prescribing
lawes
,
and
disciplines
of
warre
,
which
were
many
times
appointed
by
the
almightie
God
himselfe
.
But
let
vs
peruse
the
examples
of
the
Romans
,
which
of
all
other
people
did
most
exceed
,
as
well
for
the
greatnes
of
their
glory
,
as
in
all
their
other
martial
actions
,
and
we
shall
find
that
they
had
not
only
consideration
to
the
equitie
of
their
cause
for
the
which
they
would
enter
into
wars
(
as
by
these
words
of
Tully
,
in
his
1.
book
of
Offices
may
better
appeare
:
And
the
iustice
of
warre
is
most
sincerely
described
in
the
Phesiall
Law
of
the
people
of
Rome
,
whereby
for
things
in
claime
,
is
moued
,
or
else
proclaimea
before
,
and
bidden
by
desiance
,
&c.
)
But
also
they
had
as
great
regard
to
maintaine
their
quarrels
,
with
like
equitie
and
iustice
,
not
suffering
their
captaines
to
enter
into
actions
of
treason
or
trecherie
where
their
wars
were
al
together
arreared
vpon
causes
of
honestie
,
as
by
examples
they
did
plainly
shew
.
When
king
Pyrrhus
,
vnprouoked
had
moued
wars
against
the
Romans
,
and
Timochares
whose
sonne
was
yeoman
for
the
mouth
to
the
king
,
promised
to
Fabrieius
then
being
Consull
,
to
slay
king
Pyrrhus
,
which
thing
being
reported
to
the
Senat
,
they
presently
warned
king
Pyrrhus
to
beware
of
such
treasons
,
saying
,
The
Romans
maintained
their
warres
with
armes
and
not
by
treason
or
trechery
.
Likewise
,
when
Lucius
Pius
in
a
banquet
that
he
made
,
had
filled
the
people
of
Samaria
full
of
wine
,
and
made
them
so
drunke
,
that
yeelded
themselues
subiect
to
Rome
,
for
which
exploit
Lucius
Pius
at
his
returne
required
triumph
.
But
the
Senators
vnderstanding
the
manner
of
his
fact
,
caused
him
openly
to
be
beheaded
,
and
a
slanderous
Epitaph
set
vpon
his
graue
.
Neither
would
they
suffer
that
souldier
,
which
amongst
other
being
taken
by
Hannibal
,
and
licenced
vpon
his
oath
to
deprrt
,
conditionally
that
he
should
either
make
returne
,
or
else
send
his
ransome
,
the
souldier
with
others
of
his
companions
,
being
departed
the
campe
of
Hannibal
,
and
licenced
vpon
his
oath
to
depart
,
conditionally
that
he
should
either
make
returne
,
or
else
send
his
ransome
;
the
souldier
with
others
of
his
companions
,
being
departed
the
campe
of
Hannibal
,
feigned
an
arrand
back
againe
for
something
that
he
had
forgotten
,
and
thus
comming
to
Rome
,
did
thinke
himselfe
discharged
of
his
oath
:
but
the
Senate
allowing
of
no
such
d●ceit
to
●evsed
,
made
a
decree
that
the
same
Souidier
should
be
carried
pinioned
to
Hannibal
.
And
ten
other
,
that
in
like
manner
were
dismissed
by
Hannibal
,
vpon
their
oth
were
sessed
at
a
yeerely
fine
,
as
long
as
any
of
them
did
liue
for
being
forsworne
.
So
nobly
were
the
Romans
disposed
,
and
so
honourably
minded
,
that
no
act
was
allowed
of
amongst
them
,
seemed
it
neuer
so
profitable
,
wherin
was
found
either
fraude
or
deceit
.
And
this
magnificence
,
gate
them
condigne
commendations
of
their
very
enemies
,
and
betweene
whom
there
had
beene
mortall
hostilitie
,
and
many
times
was
of
greater
effect
to
subdue
them
,
then
huge
or
mighty
armies
.
And
as
they
did
excell
in
the
excellency
of
these
vertues
,
iustice
and
equity
,
to
such
as
were
able
to
stand
in
armes
against
them
:
so
likewyse
they
did
surmount
in
humanity
and
curtesie
,
and
in
ministring
of
comfort
,
to
such
as
they
had
already
vanquished
and
subdued
,
as
by
no
example
may
be
better
expressed
,
then
,
by
a
letter
written
by
Marcus
Aurelius
Emperour
of
Rome
,
to
Popilio
,
captaine
of
the
Parthies
,
a
notable
discourse
for
captaines
to
peruse
,
and
foloweth
in
this
manner
.
I
cannot
denie
the
glory
I
haue
gained
by
this
battell
,
neither
may
J
hide
the
perplexitie
I
feele
for
thy
present
misfortune
:
for
noble
mindes
are
bound
to
shew
no
lesse
compassion
,
to
such
as
are
subdued
,
then
to
expresse
toy
and
gladnesse
with
those
that
are
victors
.
Thou
being
the
chiefe
of
the
Parthies
,
didest
shew
great
courage
to
resist
,
and
in
me
the
leader
of
the
Romanes
,
was
found
no
want
of
force
to
fight
:
notwithstanding
,
though
thou
lost
the
battell
,
and
J
remaine
possessed
of
the
victory
,
yet
as
I
know
,
that
thou
wilt
not
acknowledge
this
chance
to
happen
for
any
want
of
stomach
in
thee
,
so
it
belongs
to
my
grauity
not
to
attribute
it
altogether
to
the
greatnesse
of
my
vertue
,
sithens
God
doth
alwaies
minister
victories
,
not
to
such
as
doe
their
duties
best
,
but
to
those
that
he
louest
most
:
for
the
effect
of
all
things
de
pending
vpon
God
,
man
can
haue
no
power
to
command
the
destiny
of
a
battell
,
seeing
he
is
not
able
to
stay
the
course
of
the
least
planet
in
Heauen
.
Darius
against
Alexander
,
Pompeius
Caesar
,
Hanniball
against
Scipio
,
had
aboue
all
equality
farre
greater
Armies
then
their
enemies
,
by
which
thou
hast
reason
to
conclude
with
me
,
that
against
the
anger
of
the
soueraigne
God
,
cannot
preuaile
most
huge
and
mighty
Hosts
.
J
maruell
Popilio
,
that
being
great
in
birth
,
valiant
of
stomach
,
welthy
in
goods
,
and
mighty
in
estate
and
dignity
,
why
thou
bearest
with
such
sorrow
,
the
losse
of
this
battell
,
seeing
that
in
no
worldly
things
Fortune
is
more
vncertaine
and
variable
,
then
in
the
action
of
Warre
.
It
is
tolde
me
,
thou
drawest
to
solitary
corners
,
and
seekest
out
shaded
places
,
thou
eschewest
the
conuersation
of
men
,
and
complainest
of
the
gods
,
which
extreame
perplexities
since
thou
wert
not
wont
to
suffer
in
others
,
much
lesse
oughtest
thou
to
giue
place
in
thy selfe
:
For
that
the
valiant
man
loseth
no
reputation
,
for
that
Fortune
faileth
him
,
but
is
the
lesse
esteemed
of
,
if
he
want
discretion
to
beare
her
mutability
.
To
assemble
great
Armies
,
is
the
office
of
Princes
,
to
leauy
huge
treasures
,
belongs
to
soueraigne
Magistrates
,
to
strike
the
enemy
is
the
part
of
a
couragious
Captaine
:
but
to
suffer
infirmities
,
and
to
dissemble
mishaps
,
is
a
property
duely
annexed
to
noble
and
resolute
mindes
so
that
one
of
the
greatest
vertues
that
worldly
men
can
expresse
,
in
the
common
behauiour
of
this
life
,
is
neither
to
rise
proud
by
prosperity
,
nor
to
fall
into
despaire
by
aduersity
.
For
Fortune
hauing
a
free
will
,
to
come
and
goe
when
shee
list
:
the
wise
man
ought
not
to
be
sorry
to
lose
her
,
nor
reioyce
to
hold
her
.
Such
as
in
their
misery
shew
heauy
countenance
,
doe
well
proue
,
that
they
made
accompt
to
be
alwayes
in
prosperity
,
which
is
a
great
folly
to
thinke
,
and
no
lesse
simplicity
to
hope
for
:
Seeing
the
gists
and
graces
of
Fortune
haue
no
better
thing
more
certaine
in
them
,
then
to
be
for
the
most
part
,
in
all
things
most
vncertaine
,
according
to
the
successe
of
the
day
,
wherein
thou
gauest
me
battell
:
for
there
thou
orderedst
thy
Campe
according
to
a
wise
Captaine
,
madest
choyce
of
the
place
,
in
great
policie
,
tookest
aduantage
of
the
Sunne
,
as
a
leader
of
long
experience
,
in
consideration
of
which
things
thou
hast
cause
to
complaine
against
thy
Fortune
,
which
fauoured
not
thy
vertue
,
and
not
blame
thy
discretion
,
wherein
could
be
found
no
errour
.
Consider
that
in
wise
and
graue
men
,
it
is
an
Office
,
that
if
they
cannot
doe
what
they
will
,
at
the
least
they
yeeld
to
time
,
and
are
content
with
what
they
may
.
And
as
the
vertuous
and
valiant
minde
ought
not
to
grieue
for
not
obtaining
that
which
hee
would
,
but
because
he
desired
that
which
he
ought
not
:
so
Popilio
,
I
wish
thee
take
heede
,
that
the
honour
which
so
many
times
thou
hast
won
,
with
the
hazard
of
thy
valiant
person
,
in
enterprises
of
warre
,
be
not
lost
at
this
present
,
for
want
of
bearing
well
thy
Fortune
:
assuring
thee
,
that
he
beares
his
misery
best
,
that
hides
it
most
.
And
as
of
all
valuble
things
,
there
is
nothing
more
light
then
renowne
:
so
in
cases
of
warre
and
hazard
,
it
is
not
enough
for
the
valiant
man
to
doe
what
he
may
,
but
also
hee
is
bound
to
attempt
nothing
but
what
he
ought
:
For
as
well
the
consideration
as
the
execution
of
a
fact
,
belongs
duely
to
a
discreet
minde
.
I
heare
thou
wanderest
here
and
there
in
great
vncertainty
of
minde
,
fearing
that
if
thou
be
taken
of
my
Souldiers
,
thou
shalt
be
euill
intreated
of
me
,
which
if
no
man
haue
told
thee
,
it
is
against
reason
thou
beleeue
it
of
thy selfe
,
because
to
vs
Princes
of
Rome
,
it
is
familiar
to
shew
our
liberality
to
such
as
yeeld
to
vs
,
and
with
others
that
are
our
prisoners
to
communicate
in
great
clemency
.
We
raise
armies
against
Campes
proudly
furnished
,
and
Cities
strongly
walled
,
but
to
captiues
in
thy
condition
,
wee
hold
it
more
honourable
to
minister
comfort
,
then
to
adde
increase
of
affliction
.
For
as
it
sufficeth
the
valiant
Captaine
to
fight
against
the
enemy
that
resisteth
him
,
and
dissemble
with
him
that
flieth
:
so
the
wise
man
ought
to
require
no
more
of
his
enemy
,
then
that
he
acknowledge
that
he
stands
in
feare
of
him
,
because
to
a
daunted
and
timorous
heart
,
is
sildome
left
courage
to
renue
a
enterprise
.
And
therefore
a
man
takes
greater
reuenge
,
when
he
putteth
his
enemy
to
flight
,
then
if
he
take
his
life
from
him
.
For
the
sword
dispatcheth
a
man
in
a
day
,
but
feare
and
remorse
torments
the
minde
continually
.
And
better
it
were
to
suffer
without
feare
that
which
we
expect
in
griefe
and
sorrow
,
then
by
feare
to
be
alwayes
in
martyrdome
.
It
is
right
terrible
to
flesh
and
bloud
to
die
of
a
sword
,
but
to
be
in
perpetuall
sorrow
and
disquiet
of
minde
,
is
the
very
furie
and
torment
of
Hell
.
If
thou
eschewest
my
presence
,
in
feare
that
I
will
not
vse
pitty
to
thee
,
thou
art
abused
in
the
opinion
of
my
disposition
,
and
dost
wrong
to
the
reputation
and
experience
of
my
actions
past
.
For
J
neuer
refused
to
shew
merey
to
him
that
asked
it
,
and
much
lesse
deceiuéd
him
that
put
his
trust
in
me
.
The
doubt
and
feare
that
thus
doe
trauell
thy
minde
,
ought
not
to
be
so
much
of
my
person
,
as
of
the
custome
of
Fortune
,
who
vseth
not
to
vnlose
her
sharpe
Arrowes
with
better
will
against
any
then
such
,
as
thinke
they
bee
in
best
securitie
of
her
:
her
nature
being
such
,
as
not
to
meddle
with
those
that
shee
finds
prepared
,
the
better
to
assure
them
,
but
followeth
the
fearefull
and
negligent
,
to
the
end
to
deceiue
them
:
yea
,
shee
preuailes
turn
ouer
the
counsels
and
actions
of
men
,
and
being
exempt
to
make
reckoning
to
any
,
her
prerogatiue
is
to
require
account
of
all
men
.
I
assure
thee
Popilio
,
that
more
doe
I
feare
the
reuolution
of
fortune
at
this
houre
,
then
I
doubted
her
before
the
battell
.
For
shee
delights
not
so
much
to
keepe
vnder
the
vanquished
,
as
to
bridle
and
checke
the
victors
.
And
worse
doth
shee
meane
,
when
shoe
smiles
the
fairest
,
then
when
shee
frownes
most
.
But
to
speake
on
thy
behalfe
,
J
tell
thee
that
without
danger
thou
maist
resort
to
my
presence
,
since
in
thy
state
is
no
cause
of
suspition
,
and
in
my
heart
no
malice
to
thy
person
:
for
indeede
,
that
cannot
be
called
true
victory
,
which
bringeth
not
with
it
some
clemency
.
And
therefore
he
cannot
be
called
victorious
,
in
whom
resteth
intent
of
rigour
and
cruelty
.
For
Alexander
,
Iulius
,
Augustus
,
Titus
,
and
Traianus
,
won
more
renowne
by
the
clemency
they
vsed
to
their
enemies
,
then
by
all
the
victories
they
obtained
in
strange
regions
.
To
obtaine
a
victory
is
a
thing
naturall
and
humane
,
but
to
giue
pardon
and
life
,
is
the
gift
and
blessing
of
God
.
By
which
it
comes
to
passe
,
that
men
feare
not
so
much
the
greatnesse
of
the
immortall
God
,
for
the
punishments
he
doth
,
as
for
the
mercy
he
vseth
.
Notwithstanding
as
I
cannot
denie
,
but
that
great
is
the
value
and
estimation
,
which
we
Romane
Princes
make
of
a
victory
won
by
battell
:
so
also
J
assure
thee
,
we
hold
it
more
honourable
,
to
pardon
such
as
doe
offend
vs
,
then
to
chastice
those
that
doe
resist
our
power
.
Therefore
if
thou
flie
from
my
presence
,
as
fearing
the
iustice
which
I
haue
executed
vpon
the
Romanes
,
thou
oughtest
to
take
security
and
courage
euen
in
that
which
makes
thee
iealous
and
doubtfull
:
for
so
much
greater
ought
to
be
clemency
,
by
how
much
the
offender
is
in
fault
.
And
therefore
as
there
is
no
offence
which
cannot
be
either
forgiuen
or
fauoured
,
so
right
worthily
may
that
pardon
be
called
honourable
and
famous
,
which
is
giuen
to
an
iniury
malicious
and
manifest
,
since
all
other
common
and
light
wrongs
with
greater
reason
we
may
say
we
dissemble
them
,
then
that
wee
pardon
them
.
The
thing
that
most
drawes
me
to
enter
friendship
with
thee
,
is
for
that
in
our
first
capitulations
and
truce
,
thou
performedst
all
things
that
were
concluded
for
the
peace
,
and
yet
in
the
battell
thou
didst
expresse
the
parts
of
a
valiant
Captaine
,
the
same
giuing
me
cause
to
beleeue
,
that
as
in
warre
I
found
thee
a
iust
enemy
,
so
in
the
time
of
peace
,
thou
wouldest
proue
an
assured
friend
.
Alexander
neuer
repented
the
pardon
he
gaue
to
Diomedes
the
tyrant
,
nor
Marcus
Antonius
the
fauour
he
shewed
to
the
great
Orator
Cicero
.
Neither
shall
I
haue
cause
(
I
hope
)
to
forethinke
the
respite
I
giue
to
thy
liife
.
For
the
noble
minde
,
albeit
he
may
haue
occasion
to
be
sorry
for
the
vnthankefulnesse
of
his
friend
:
yet
hath
hee
no
licence
to
repent
him
of
his
good
turnes
done
for
him
:
and
therefore
in
the
case
of
liberality
or
clemency
,
by
how
much
the
person
is
vnworthy
that
receiueth
the
benefit
,
by
so
much
more
hee
is
to
be
commended
that
bestoweth
it
:
for
that
onely
may
be
said
is
giuen
,
when
he
that
giueth
,
giueth
without
respect
.
So
that
hee
that
giueth
in
hope
of
recompence
,
deserueth
not
to
be
called
liberall
,
but
to
pretend
vsurie
.
Thou
knowest
well
that
in
the
time
of
the
battell
,
and
when
the
incounter
was
most
hot
,
J
offered
thee
nothing
worthy
of
reproach
:
euen
so
,
thou
hast
now
to
iudge
,
that
if
in
the
fury
of
the
warre
,
thou
foundest
me
faithfull
,
and
mercifull
,
I
haue
now
no
reason
to
exercise
rigour
,
holding
thee
within
the
precinct
of
my
house
:
so
that
if
thou
saw
mercy
in
me
at
that
instant
,
when
thy
hands
were
busie
to
spill
my
bloud
,
thinke
not
that
my
clemency
shall
faile
,
calling
thee
to
the
fellowship
of
my
Table
.
The
prisoners
of
thy
Camp
can
assure
thee
of
my
dealing
,
amongst
whom
the
hurt
are
cured
at
my
charges
,
and
the
dead
are
buried
according
to
the
place
of
souldiers
:
wherein
if
I
extend
this
care
vpon
such
as
sought
to
spoile
me
,
thinke
there
is
farre
greater
plenty
of
grace
,
to
thee
that
commest
to
serue
me
.
And
so
leauing
thee
in
the
hands
of
thine
owne
counsell
,
I
wish
thee
those
felicities
,
which
thy
houourable
heart
desireth
.
Lochere
a
mirrour
,
meete
to
be
perused
by
Kings
and
Princes
,
wherein
they
may
learne
,
with
what
consideration
they
should
first
enter
into
Warres
,
with
what
valiance
and
courage
they
should
prosecute
them
,
and
with
what
iustice
,
temperance
and
mercie
they
should
vse
their
enemies
.
Captaines
may
likewise
learne
how
to
vse
fortune
,
either
when
she
fauours
,
either
when
she
frownes
,
But
leauing
a
great
number
of
necessary
lessons
worthy
to
be
noted
,
how
is
it
possible
in
so
few
lines
,
more
amply
to
describe
the
glory
of
the
Romones
:
neither
are
their
vertues
here
so
liuely
painted
foorth
in
words
,
as
they
themselues
did
nobly
shew
it
in
their
deedes
.
But
all
other
examples
of
humanity
,
amongst
a
great
number
vsed
to
their
enemies
,
this
in
my
opinion
deserueth
not
the
least
commendation
,
that
hauing
taken
Siphax
King
of
Numantia
,
who
being
kept
prisoner
in
the
house
of
Tiberius
,
dyed
of
sicknesse
before
he
was
ransomed
,
notwithstanding
now
when
there
was
no
manner
of
hope
of
requitall
,
his
funeralles
were
yet
performed
,
with
such
solemnity
,
such
pompe
,
and
such
honour
,
such
large
giftes
were
giuen
,
and
such
liberality
vsed
,
being
but
a
Romane
prisoner
,
as
might
haue
wanted
at
Numantia
,
where
he
was
Lord
and
King
ouer
all
.
I
haue
thus
farre
briefly
,
and
in
this
short
maner
shewed
some
part
of
the
magnificence
of
the
Romanes
,
in
their
Martiall
actions
,
whereby
may
be
perceiued
,
how
farre
we
be
digressed
,
and
how
cleane
we
be
degenerate
at
this
present
from
their
honorable
institutions
.
For
if
we
consider
in
these
dayes
the
impiety
that
is
found
amongst
Princes
,
which
for
the
most
part
are
so
led
by
the
furie
of
ambition
,
where
they
thinke
they
may
oppresse
,
that
without
any
other
respect
of
cause
they
are
ready
to
accompanie
themselues
,
with
a
sorr
of
bloody
captaines
,
that
should
haue
the
leading
of
a
company
of
as
lewd
&
vngratious
souldiers
,
and
euen
according
to
their
quarrels
and
to
the
quality
of
their
owne
dispositions
,
they
prosecute
their
warres
,
and
performe
all
their
enterprises
,
the
which
for
the
most
part
are
executed
with
such
treason
and
trecherie
,
as
no
Prince
almost
may
be
so
surely
garded
,
but
his
life
shal
be
finished
with
some
deadly
blow
with
a
weapon
,
with
some
sodaine
shot
of
a
pistoll
,
or
at
the
least
practised
with
some
secret
poison
nether
is
there
any
town
,
that
may
be
so
surely
walled
,
so
strongly
rampered
,
or
so
throughly
fortified
which
shall
not
be
betraied
.
For
in
our
warres
we
be
now
come
to
this
passe
,
that
fraud
and
deceit
is
reputed
for
policy
,
and
treason
and
trechery
are
called
grauity
and
wisedome
,
and
he
is
holden
the
noblest
champion
,
that
by
any
of
these
meanes
can
best
deceiue
:
where
,
in
the
opinion
of
all
men
,
which
exactly
do
honor
iustice
,
it
hath
euer
beene
condemned
,
and
accompted
most
horrible
.
And
no
doubt
it
can
not
be
acceptable
in
the
sight
and
iudgement
of
God
,
who
in
the
Scripture
is
called
the
God
of
trueth
and
verity
:
but
rather
proceedeth
from
the
deuill
,
who
is
(
indeede
)
the
father
of
fraude
,
and
the
forger
of
all
deceite
.
And
these
enormities
haue
euer
beene
especially
practised
amongst
those
that
haue
arreared
warres
,
rather
to
oppresse
and
,
rauish
the
goods
of
others
,
then
amongst
such
as
haue
but
defended
their
owne
right
,
or
entred
into
warres
onely
vpon
causes
of
iustice
and
equity
,
for
that
it
hath
bene
euer
holden
a
matter
most
inconuenient
,
rather
by
subtilty
to
vndermine
,
then
by
force
to
conquer
.
Now
for
the
incitements
to
valour
,
there
is
no
motiue
more
mighty
to
incite
men
to
valour
and
courage
,
then
when
they
shall
call
to
minde
the
rightnes
of
theirs
:
the
which
doth
animate
and
set
an
edge
on
their
hearts
,
according
to
the
opinion
of
Cicero
,
who
affirmeth
that
manlinesse
is
well
defended
of
the
Stoiks
,
which
is
a
vertue
that
is
a
Champion
of
equity
,
wherefore
no
man
hath
euer
attained
to
the
honour
of
fortitude
,
or
get
praise
by
policy
.
For
nothing
is
deemed
honest
that
is
deuoyde
of
Fustice
:
he
likewise
maketh
a
further
proceeding
in
the
same
place
,
reciting
the
saying
of
Plato
to
the
same
effect
,
that
science
not
accompanied
with
conscience
&
knowledge
disioyned
from
iustice
,
is
rather
subtilty
then
solid
wisedome
,
&
those
enterprised
which
are
vndertaken
for
our
owne
profit
,
and
not
the
weale
publick
is
more
truely
termed
foolish
hardinesse
then
famous
valour
.
Aristotle
would
by
no
meanes
that
Diomedes
should
bee
reputed
either
wyse
or
valiant
,
for
that
when
feare
had
made
wings
for
the
Grecians
heeles
,
and
they
were
discomfited
in
fight
,
he
still
continued
fight
in
the
field
,
and
aduentured
himselfe
to
incounter
with
Hector
,
with
more
audacity
and
courage
;
then
vnderstanding
and
consideration
,
more
respecting
the
babble
of
fame
and
vaine
praise
of
men
,
the
which
though
for
a
time
it
may
seeme
delightfull
,
yet
is
but
of
short
continuance
,
when
the
safety
of
his
soyle
and
commodity
of
his
Countrey
,
the
which
is
the
scope
of
all
vertuous
actions
,
and
an
immortall
glory
.
In
such
sort
he
censured
Hector
,
who
many
times
casting
vp
his
eyes
to
his
wife
,
and
other
Women
standing
vpon
the
walles
of
Troy
,
would
with
greater
courage
and
audacity
aduenture
and
hazard
his
life
,
onely
to
gaine
fauour
and
reputation
in
the
Womens
opinions
,
and
fearing
least
any
rumour
should
beraised
which
might
wound
his
credit
,
when
otherwise
hee
would
haue
had
a
more
respect●…e
care
of
his
life
:
They
are
therefore
farre
remote
from
the
renowne
of
true
valour
,
which
will
so
rashly
runne
vpon
their
owne
ruines
without
any
due
considerate
premeditation
,
for
what
auailed
the
audacity
of
Varro
and
Flaminius
,
two
renowned
Romane
Captaines
,
who
reiecting
the
prowesse
,
and
contemning
the
craft
of
Hannibal
,
and
vndervaluing
the
counsell
of
Fabius
,
firing
the
anchor
of
their
hope
in
their
owne
hardinesse
,
endangered
and
ruined
two
noble
armies
,
whereby
the
power
of
the
Romanes
lay
a
bleeding
,
and
was
almost
vtterly
perished
:
It
is
a
common
receiued
opinion
,
that
a
man
cannot
attaine
to
the
exact
perfection
of
the
meanest
occupation
vnder
seauen
yeeres
practise
,
and
doth
it
stand
with
likelihood
?
nay
,
hath
it
almost
any
possibility
,
that
the
art
of
Warre
should
be
so
suddenly
wonne
,
wherein
there
is
alwayes
a
Plus
vltra
,
and
a
furthermore
.
For
they
which
haue
all
the
course
of
their
life
beene
followers
of
that
course
,
and
haue
continued
the
faithfull
men
of
Mars
,
they
haue
not
proceeded
so
farre
,
but
still
they
might
goe
one
degree
further
,
and
haue
beene
to
seeke
in
something
:
this
was
the
matter
which
moued
Philip
to
maruaile
,
that
the
Athenians
did
yeerely
choose
new
Generals
and
Captaines
of
their
warres
,
when
hee
in
the
whole
course
of
his
life
had
found
one
worthy
of
his
approbation
,
which
was
Parmenio
;
Plato
would
not
allow
any
man
authoritie
in
Mars
his
imployments
,
till
he
was
thirty
yeeres
of
age
:
and
Alexander
would
admit
none
to
the
place
of
a
commander
vnder
sixtie
:
finally
by
the
generall
consent
and
confirmation
of
al
men
,
there
ought
not
to
be
a
slight
or
small
respect
vsed
in
the
choice
of
Captaines
.
Cicero
mentioneth
foure
things
requisite
in
a
ruler
of
the
warres
,
to
wit
Iustice
,
Fortitude
,
Policie
and
Temperance
:
First
,
Iustice
to
reuenge
,
Fortitude
to
put
his
intention
in
execution
,
Policy
to
prepare
the
way
to
leade
him
to
his
ends
,
and
temperance
to
stay
him
in
his
fury
,
when
he
hath
sufficiently
discharged
it
vpon
his
enemies
;
and
it
is
free
from
doubt
,
and
certaine
without
suspition
,
that
a
Captaine
thus
endowed
with
these
vertues
,
shall
be
of
no
small
preuailance
in
all
his
proiects
,
but
they
haue
very
little
respect
of
any
of
these
in
the
election
of
our
English
Souldiers
,
who
are
appointed
according
to
master
Constables
command
,
and
who
if
he
hath
taken
a
distast
,
and
conceiued
a
displeasure
against
any
in
his
circuit
,
cannot
excogitate
a
better
meanes
to
vent
his
revenge
,
or
thinke
of
a
speedier
course
to
oppresse
him
then
to
presse
him
forth
to
be
a
Souldier
:
but
if
he
chance
to
be
in
charity
with
his
neighbours
,
then
doth
he
select
some
silly
odde
fellow
that
doth
least
good
in
the
parish
,
as
who
should
say
,
he
cannot
be
too
bad
to
be
a
Souldier
,
and
for
the
most
part
they
scoure
their
prisons
of
theeues
,
and
their
streets
of
rogues
and
vagabonds
when
they
are
to
set
any
Souldiers
forth
,
so
that
they
seeke
such
men
for
such
imployments
as
were
better
lost
then
found
.
I
hese
are
the
authors
and
fountaines
from
whence
such
abuses
flow
,
and
the
causers
of
a
Souldiers
name
to
bee
so
odious
to
the
vulgar
and
common
people
:
and
another
discommodity
hath
birth
from
the
pressing
of
such
a
ribble
rabble
,
for
in
the
warres
they
become
mutiners
,
who
ought
to
be
punished
with
no
small
seuerity
for
infringing
the
institutions
,
and
violating
the
orders
of
the
generall
Captaine
,
the
which
how
distastfull
it
is
to
God
,
the
punishments
which
God
hath
inflicted
vpon
such
persons
may
sufficiently
testifie
in
the
booke
of
Numbers
it
is
recorded
,
that
the
earth
opened
and
swallowed
vp
Corath
,
Dathan
and
Abyram
,
for
mutining
against
Moses
,
an
euident
and
apparant
proofe
,
how
displeasing
to
the
Almightie
these
kinde
of
insertions
be
,
and
that
they
are
rebels
to
God
that
resist
their
Captaine
.
Manlius
Torquatus
shewing
more
seuerity
then
affection
,
caused
his
owne
naturall
sonnes
head
to
be
moued
from
his
body
,
because
he
remoued
out
of
the
place
whereto
he
was
appointed
;
notwithstanding
hee
went
out
of
it
to
fight
with
an
enemy
,
who
had
formerly
challenged
him
.
And
Salust
doth
report
that
there
were
more
souldiers
suffered
for
assaulting
there
enemies
before
they
had
command
from
the
Captaine
,
then
for
running
out
of
the
field
before
the
combat
,
who
were
very
seuere
in
inflicting
heauy
punishments
on
such
like
offenders
,
and
to
the
end
that
they
might
the
better
subiect
Souldiers
to
their
discipline
,
adioyned
to
their
owne
Lawes
the
authority
of
God
,
and
were
accustomed
with
great
ceremonies
solemnly
to
sweare
them
to
obserue
their
ordinances
.
Cicero
recordeth
how
Pompilius
when
he
was
generall
of
the
Romans
in
the
Persian
warres
,
had
discharged
one
legion
in
which
Catos
sonne
had
serued
for
a
Souldier
,
who
although
he
was
discharged
,
yet
still
continued
there
,
being
desirous
to
see
the
warres
,
which
Cato
vnderstanding
,
did
write
to
Pompilius
that
he
should
not
permit
or
suffer
his
son
to
remain
or
abide
in
the
army
,
vnlesse
he
did
sweare
him
Souldier
againe
,
because
otherwise
it
was
vnlawfull
for
him
to
fight
with
the
enemy
,
for
being
freed
from
his
former
oath
,
hee
was
likewise
discharged
from
being
a
Souldier
:
it
was
a
generall
custome
amongst
the
Grecian
to
sweare
there
Souldiers
being
armed
and
brought
to
Church
in
this
manner
.
I
will
not
doe
any
thing
vnworthy
the
sacred
holy
warres
,
neither
will
I
relinquish
or
forsake
my
Captain
to
whom
I
am
appointed
;
I
wil
not
be
the
causer
of
my
countryes
illfare
,
but
I
will
to
the
vttermost
bounds
of
my
abilitie
and
limits
of
my
power
indeauour
that
it
may
reape
all
possible
benefits
by
my
seruice
,
and
I
will
continually
frame
and
fashion
my selfe
to
the
obedience
and
obseruance
of
such
orders
,
as
are
now
or
shall
be
hereafter
determined
by
the
state
.
Moreouer
as
I
will
neglect
them
my selfe
so
farre
as
I
am
able
force
others
to
keepe
them
.
I
will
perpetually
maintayne
and
retayne
the
religion
of
my
countrey
,
the
which
my
promises
I
call
the
Gods
to
record
and
witnesse
:
the
which
custome
if
it
were
now
obserued
and
put
in
execution
amongst
souldiours
in
our
times
,
it
could
not
but
be
a
meanes
to
secure
their
Generall
and
gouernour
,
incite
them
to
the
vndertaking
of
all
worthy
enterprises
,
be
an
Antidote
and
preseruation
agaynst
such
treacheries
as
are
dayly
practised
,
and
would
in
like
manner
gaine
credit
and
reputation
to
their
profession
.
All
which
things
are
manifested
in
that
true
mirror
of
true
worth
Count
Mansfield
:
who
as
he
hath
kept
their
seruice
free
from
mutiny
seuerely
,
so
he
hath
rewarded
his
souldiours
bountifully
,
which
hath
so
animated
them
,
and
giuen
them
life
in
all
their
proceedings
,
that
they
haue
with
matchlesse
courage
performed
all
their
enterprises
:
And
Mansfield
the
generall
of
there
army
,
hath
had
no
lesse
then
generall
applause
:
who
to
his
eternall
memory
and
neuer
dying
fame
,
hath
enlarged
his
owne
renowme
,
made
an
addition
,
especially
to
his
reputation
by
being
constant
to
the
King
of
Bohemia
,
and
a
most
worthy
maintainer
of
the
Gospell
of
Christ
:
of
whose
worthy
actions
if
I
should
indeauour
to
make
a
particular
discourse
,
it
would
farre
exceed
the
power
of
my
pen
:
and
I
am
affraid
,
I
should
wrong
him
in
the
relatio●
:
and
I
seare
,
in
this
more
lasciuious
then
laborious
age
,
he
wi●
scarce
attayne
to
the
happinesse
of
Achilles
to
haue
a
second
Homer
,
to
trumpet
forth
the
trueth
of
his
worth
,
who
hath
all
the
vertues
lodged
in
his
brest
,
that
can
be
imagined
to
be
resident
in
a
Prince
or
souldiers
bosome
:
For
as
he
htah
couragious
valour
,
denying
to
permit
him
to
carry
coales
or
suffer
excesse
of
iniury
,
so
he
hath
a
measure
of
honest
policy
to
performe
what
he
proiecteth
,
and
least
there
might
be
any
defect
in
him
vndeseruing
the
name
of
a
Captaine
,
or
a
Commaunder
,
like
a
second
Demosthenes
,
he
is
so
well
furnished
with
perswasiue
oratory
,
that
the
soules
of
his
souldiours
in
time
of
his
exhortation
to
him
,
seeme
onely
to
be
placed
in
their
eares
,
and
his
very
breath
is
a
wynde
to
blow
,
(
as
I
may
so
say
)
the
coales
of
their
courage
and
to
accend
their
fury
:
For
at
what
time
as
he
obtained
the
famous
victory
against
Leopoldus
before
Hguenae
,
he
moued
his
souldiours
in
a
well
composed
speach
,
to
behaue
themselues
boldly
and
with
courage
,
and
to
make
a
full
expression
of
their
valour
,
since
that
they
were
to
haue
such
a
noble
compagnion
in
combate
as
the
King
of
Bohemia
,
who
was
royally
resolued
to
pursue
his
foes
in
person
.
I
neede
not
therefore
seeke
farre
for
a
Commaunder
,
whose
example
may
serue
for
euery
captaines
instruction
,
who
as
he
should
looke
for
duety
from
them
in
his
seruice
,
so
should
affoord
them
meanes
whereby
they
may
liue
(
as
they
are
to
be
truely
considered
)
professours
of
a
worthy
calling
:
he
should
likewyse
incourage
them
with
mouing
speeches
,
incite
them
to
valour
and
noble
actions
.
To
conclude
,
a
true
substantiall
souldiour
,
and
a
gainefull
generall
,
ought
to
be
powerfull
in
men
and
meanes
,
politick
in
plotting
meanes
aswell
for
the
defence
of
himselfe
as
the
offence
of
his
enemy
,
royall
in
rewarding
in
the
well-deseruing
,
eloquent
in
perswading
his
men
to
prowesse
:
So
shall
the
warres
be
more
prosperous
,
the
souldiours
more
respected
,
and
a
happy
successe
shall
crowne
all
Marshallists
earnest
indeauours
.
