A
highe
incouragement
,
to
bee
valiant
,
when
valour
,
by
gouernment
,
is
able
to
raise
a
man
from
the
Carte
,
to
be
a
Soueraigne
Captaine
:
And
certainly
,
Millitarie
Iustice
Ciuill
Iustice
:
For
,
the
one
taketh
knowledge
of
euery
man
that
is
valiaunt
:
and
the
other
will
scarre
looke
on
a
number
that
are
vertuous
.
And
by
this
Iustice
Millitarie
,
Viriat
,
Portugall
,
that
in
many
victories
sheathed
his
sword
in
the
Romains
Entrailes
,
was
in
his
youth
a
sheepharde
,
&
the
sonne
of
a
sheepharde
.
Arsases
,
Parthians
,
was
a
common
beggers
sonne
:
yet
in
remembrance
of
his
great
vallour
and
worthinesse
,
after
his
decease
,
they
called
the
kings
his
successors
,
Arsasides
.
Agatocles
,
Cicile
,
was
the
sonne
of
a
Potter
:
and
in
remembraunce
thereof
,
among
other
vessels
of
golde
,
hee
was
alwayes
serued
with
some
of
earth
.
Prolomie
,
Aegipt
,
of
whome
the
succeeding
Kings
were
called
Ptolomie
,
was
of
base
parentage
.
The
Athenian
,
Isicrates
,
Millitarie
,
whome
Artaxerses
king
of
Persia
,
oftentimes
made
Lieutenant
of
his
Army
,
against
the
AEgiptians
,
was
a
Coblers
sonne
.
Eumenes
,
And
albeit
,
among
humaine
kingdomes
,
none
might
be
compared
to
the
Empire
of
Rome
,
yet
,
by
Martiall
Iustice
,
men
of
most
meane
rep●●ation
,
became
Emperours
.
Elius
Pertinax
,
Rome
,
was
an
Artificers
sonne
.
The
Emperour
Dioclesian
Valentian
,
The
Emperour
Probus
,
The
renowned
Emperour
Aurelius
,
Marcus
Iulius
,
Licinius
,
Bonosus
,
which
occupied
both
the
Empire
,
the
one
came
from
the
Carte
,
and
the
other
from
keeping
of
a
schoole
.
Many
other
were
Emperous
of
Rome
,
whose
Auncestors
were
of
no
account
,
which
(
for
breuitie
)
I
omit
:
so
that
,
descending
to
kinges
,
and
meaner
Princes
whome
this
Iustice
aduaunced
.
Tarquinius
Priscus
,
Rome
,
was
a
Merchants
sonne
of
CORINTHE
,
and
banished
his
Countrey
.
Servius
Tullius
,
the
most
renowned
king
of
the
Romaines
,
who
for
his
worthy
victories
triumphed
thre
times
,
was
the
sonne
of
a
poore
seruaunt
:
and
therefore
was
alwayes
call'd
,
Servius
.
Lamutius
▪
Lombards
,
was
the
sonne
of
a
meane
Harlot
.
The
mightie
King
Tamberlaine
,
The
right
noble
Romaine
,
Caius
Marius
,
Roome
,
came
of
a
base
parentage
.
The
most
vertuous
and
valiant
Captaine
,
the
father
of
Frauncis
Sforce
,
Millan
,
was
a
poore
labourers
sonne
.
Many
other
by
Martiall
profession
(
in
which
tyme
Iustice
was
truly
administred
)
were
in
this
manner
,
from
the
lowest
degree
aduaunced
to
the
hyest
honour
.
And
that
the
basenes
of
parentage
might
be
no
blemish
,
to
those
that
deserued
wel
:
nor
noble
blood
,
Gretians
,
by
a
lawe
,
sorbadde
him
the
Tombe
of
his
Ancestors
,
that
added
not
some
glory
to
their
Monuments
.
Alexander
the
Great
,
worthiest
:
so
great
was
the
Iustice
of
his
minde
,
as
hee
preuiledged
not
his
sonne
Hercules
,
his
brother
Arideus
,
nor
the
Infant
in
his
wife
Roxanaes
wombe
,
before
a
straunger
of
better
desart
.
This
regard
and
reward
of
good
deseruinges
were
the
causes
of
so
many
Illustruous
Captaines
in
the
auncient
common
Wealthes
.
The
prudent
Romaines
founde
out
the
bene●ite
that
proceeded
of
the
rewarding
of
Souldiers
,
and
therfore
they
deuised
many
honours
and
rewards
to
recompence
their
good
seruices
.
When
any
Captaine
had
any
notable
victorie
,
hee
(
after
thankes
giuen
to
the
Gods
)
presently
mounted
vppon
a
Theatre
,
and
generally
praised
the
whole
Army
:
them
calling
the
Bandes
and
Squadrons
that
fought
most
valiantly
,
he
praysed
euery
Souldier
by
his
proper
name
,
calling
him
Companion
and
friende
of
his
Countrey
,
and
withall
gaue
to
euery
one
as
he
deserued
,
as
to
some
,
Crownes
:
to
others
gauntlets
,
and
to
many
Harnesse
,
with
such
deuises
as
no
man
might
weare
,
but
such
as
had
deserued
the
like
.
The
Consull
Papirius
,
Scipio
,
did
the
like
in
Spaine
,
wherein
euery
mans
merite
was
written
:
There
were
many
Crownes
or
Garlandes
proper
for
speciall
seruices
:
as
,
Rome
,
or
Campe
of
the
Romanies
,
from
any
sharpe
or
dangerous
siege
,
he
was
recompenced
with
the
Crowne
Obsidionale
:
Quintus
Fabius
,
for
deliuering
Roome
from
the
dangerous
assault
of
Haniball
,
had
this
Crowne
.
AEmilius
Scipio
,
was
in
this
manner
Crowned
in
Affrica
:
And
for
the
like
seruice
,
Calfurnius
&
the
valiant
Lutius
Cincinius
were
crowned
.
Then
,
whosoeuer
deliuered
any
Citizen
of
Rome
,
and
slu●
one
enimie
without
shrinking
from
the
place
of
this
seruice
,
he
was
rewarded
with
the
crown
Civique
.
Senators
,
who
vpon
his
entraunce
,
rose
from
their
places
to
do
him
honor
.
Many
Romaines
obtained
this
Crowne
,
especially
the
most
valiant
Cineinius
before
named
,
wonne
it
fourteene
times
.
These
Crownes
were
of
flowers
or
such
like
,
but
yet
of
more
reputation
then
the
other
of
gold
.
The
Crown
Murale
was
of
gold
,
Manlius
Capitolin
,
Quintus
Trebelius
,
and
diuers
others
,
gained
this
Crowne
.
The
Crownes
Castreuse
and
Nauale
Marcus
Varro
,
Marcus
Agrippus
,
and
many
other
noble
Romaines
,
thought
no
scorne
.
There
were
other
Crownes
,
and
speciall
honnours
giuen
vnto
the
Romaines
,
which
(
for
breuitie
sake
)
I
omit
:
&
which
is
worthie
of
regarde
.
In
distrubution
of
these
honnours
,
the
noble
and
the
innoble
Souldier
,
by
birth
was
regarded
alike
.
Besides
,
the
Romaines
Captaines
,
Metellus
,
for
the
subduing
of
Iugurthe
:
of
Numidie
,
was
called
Numidique
:
the
other
Metellus
,
for
subduing
the
king
of
Macedone
,
was
surnamed
Macedonique
.
Lucius
Mummius
,
was
named
Aca●que
,
for
the
●ubduing
of
Acaye
,
and
Corinthe
.
Brutus
,
for
the
subiecting
of
Gaule
,
was
named
Galloys
.
The
two
noble
Scipioes
,
the
one
was
call'd
Afriq●●
〈◊〉
Carthagique
,
for
his
victories
in
Affrica
&
at
Carthage
.
The
other
was
surnamed
Asiatique
,
for
the
conquering
of
Antioche
:
and
for
being
the
first
that
displaied
the
Romaine
Ensignes
in
Asia
:
many
othe●
Romaines
had
such
like
honorable
surnames
,
in
triumphe
of
their
victories
:
but
these
may
suffice
to
showe
the
honorable
reputation
of
a
souldier
,
how
he
was
in
the
auncient
&
florishing
common
weales
reuerenced
of
the
graue
Senators
,
and
generally
honored
of
the
publique
weale
,
where
the
gouernment
Is
Monarchie
,
Oligarchie
,
Lacidemonia
.
When
Cyrus
deliuered
the
lewes
out
of
the
great
captiuitie
of
Babilon
,
hee
sent
them
home
vnder
the
conduct
of
their
Captaine
Zorobabel
:
and
their
chiefe
sacrificator
Iosue
,
by
which
estates
they
were
gouerned
,
vntill
Aristobulus
vsurped
both
the
title
of
king
and
chiefe
sacrificator
.
The
base
segniorie
of
the
Mecanicall
people
,
called
Democratia
,
wherin
the
baser
sort
,
as
handy
craftsmen
gouerne
in
time
of
warre
,
are
gladly
ruled
by
the
worthy
Captaine
.
The
most
magnificent
Triumphes
,
first
deuised
by
Dionisius
or
Dennis
,
Carthagenians
,
by
the
testimonie
of
Iustin
,
onely
were
dedicared
to
the
honour
of
the
victorious
Captaine
:
Ferdinandoes
,
who
erected
the
Knights
of
the
band
,
and
in
the
straight
Commandement
of
King
Phillip
le
Bel
:
and
(
with
your
fauour
)
in
the
straight
lawes
and
Proclamations
of
England
,
Gold
,
siluer
,
and
al
maner
of
brauery
is
dispensed
within
Martial
showes
:
by
reason
of
which
apparance
of
honor
and
reputation
due
,
and
giuen
vnto
the
Souldier
,
a
number
of
yongelings
aduance
their
thoughtes
,
and
thirst
after
the
like
glory
:
Of
which
allurement
grewe
the
old
saying
:
Dulce
bellum
in
expertis
▪
But
if
all
his
daungers
,
distresses
,
woundes
,
and
many
times
,
prodigall
losse
of
life
,
bee
ballanced
with
his
glory
:
Senators
,
with
these
magnificent
Triumphes
and
honorable
rewardes
,
to
arme
their
Souldiers
)
with
an
invincible
courage
:
and
yet
(
w●th
your
patience
)
they
durst
not
put
their
honour
simply
vppon
their
Souldiers
valiancy
:
how
resolute
soeuer
they
were
in
execution
,
the
wise
Senatours
were
fearefull
to
direct
.
And
certainly
,
the
religious
Ceremonies
that
the
Romanes
vsed
before
they
attempted
any
war
,
If
any
man
brought
the
Romaines
tydinges
of
some
Prouince
reuolted
,
or
of
any
other
iust
cause
of
warre
:
the
Senate
first
sent
to
the
Offenders
,
frendly
requiring
them
to
returne
to
their
obedience
:
&
if
they
continued
their
contempt
,
they
then
created
their
Captaines
for
this
expedition
:
But
before
any
prosecution
,
they
caused
their
Sacrificators
to
make
praiers
vnto
the
gods
:
after
this
,
the
Senate
assembled
themselues
,
and
went
vnto
the
Temple
of
Iupiter
,
and
there
solemply
swore
,
that
so
often
as
the
enemy
(
against
whom
they
moued
war
)
would
seeke
new
conditions
,
or
craue
pardon
for
their
offences
committed
,
that
their
clemency
should
at
no
time
be
denyed
.
This
done
,
the
Consull
elect
for
the
enterprise
,
went
vnto
the
Capitoll
,
and
there
made
a
solempne
vowe
,
that
if
he
retourned
with
victorie
,
he
would
offer
vnto
the
Gods
some
special
pretious
thing
.
After
this
,
the
Banner
of
the
Eagle
(
which
was
the
auncient
Ensigne
of
Rome
)
was
displayed
in
the
field
called
Mars
,
by
which
the
people
were
warned
,
that
,
during
the
tyme
that
the
Citizens
,
&
their
parents
were
in
the
warres
,
that
they
should
neyther
celebrate
feasts
,
or
publicke
spectacles
:
finally
,
a
Preest
mounted
vpon
the
gate
,
called
Salarie
,
caused
a
Trumpet
to
be
sounded
,
to
sommon
the
men
of
warre
,
and
there
euery
particuler
Captaine
receiued
his
ensigne
:
by
this
it
was
publikly
known
,
that
they
set
not
forward
their
Armies
,
before
they
had
appeased
and
honored
their
Gods
.
The
Athenians
,
neuer
moued
warre
before
the
Philosophers
and
the
graue
Common-wealthes-men
,
had
aduisedly
considered
,
whether
the
same
were
righteous
or
no.
The
Israelites
,
prosecuted
the
warre
,
by
derection
of
the
Prophets
,
as
appeareth
by
m●nyexāples
of
the
olde
Testament
:
when
the
Captaines
and
Souldiers
,
were
thus
sacisfied
by
the
Prophetes
,
&
graue
common
wealthes-men
,
that
they
should
in
the
extreamest
degree
,
but
sacrifice
their
bloods
,
in
the
seruice
of
God
,
the
safetie
of
their
Countrey
,
and
their
owne
immortall
honnour
:
Small
is
the
wounder
if
they
lightly
regarded
of
life
,
and
proudely
encountred
death
:
Plutarke
,
Phrigia
,
there
was
a
great
gaping
of
the
earth
,
out
of
which
swelled
great
waters
,
that
ouerthrewe
many
houses
.
Ancurus
,
king
Midas
sonne
,
hearing
that
Gods
Ire
would
not
be
appeased
,
vntil
some
one
man
leaped
into
the
Gulfe
:
Desire
of
fame
(
which
those
heathen
men
reputed
an
immortall
life
)
hastened
Ancurus
,
to
leape
into
that
Gulfe
(
as
hee
thought
)
with
the
losse
of
his
life
,
to
rid
his
country
from
this
outragious
water
.
Curtius
,
the
noble
Romane
did
the
like
vpon
the
like
occasion
.
The
two
worthy
Lacedimonians
,
Spartius
&
Bulides
,
voluntarily
bowed
their
neckes
to
the
gallowes
,
to
make
satisfaction
for
the
offence
of
the
Lacedemonians
,
who
contrary
to
the
law
of
all
nations
(
which
protecteth
euery
Ambassadour
,
both
in
time
of
peace
&
warre
)
slew
king
Xerxes
Ambassadour
.
Themistocles
,
Mutius
Scevola
,
and
many
others
might
bee
ioyned
with
these
examples
:
but
especially
the
acte
of
Codrus
,
the
last
king
of
Athens
,
is
worthy
remembraunce
:
Delphos
,
that
if
the
Athenians
would
bee
victors
,
their
kinge
must
needs
be
slaine
.
When
Codrus
vnderstoode
that
the
libertie
of
his
countrie
,
stood
vpon
the
losse
of
his
life
,
hee
pre●ently
in
the
habit
of
a
slaue
,
entred
the
campe
of
the
Pelloponians
and
Dorians
,
his
enimies
,
and
quarelled
vntill
he
was
slaine
.
Beholde
the
noble
resolution
of
the
auncient
Captaines
,
a
number
feared
not
death
,
&
almost
euery
one
hated
a
dishonorable
life
.
The
Souldiers
of
Caesar
,
many
tymes
died
desperatly
,
rather
then
they
would
bee
the
seruile
prisoners
of
their
enimies
.
Among
many
,
the
most
hardy
attemps
that
the
Iewes
made
vpon
Vespasian
,
Titus
,
to
bee
delinered
of
the
Romane
seruitude
:
this
one
example
of
their
proude
disdaine
of
life
,
shewed
their
litle
feare
of
death
.
When
God
,
to
chasten
the
greeuous
sinnes
of
the
Iewes
,
suffred
them
(
notwithstanding
their
invincible
courage
)
to
be
slaine
by
the
Romanes
,
&
of
a
number
that
were
slaine
there
,
being
but
fortie
&
one
left
aliue
:
which
few
,
rather
than
the
Romanes
should
haue
any
glory
of
their
captiuitie
,
by
the
drawing
of
lottes
,
they
appoincted
one
to
be
the
executioner
of
an
other
.
The
Earle
of
Shreusbury
,
who
in
Henry
the
sixte
his
time
,
Fraunce
,
as
the
frenchmen
to
scarre
their
Children
,
as
we
doe
by
Robyn
good
fellow
,
haue
to
this
day
a
by-word
,
Garde
le
taulbot
,
being
(
by
the
enuious
contentions
in
Englande
)
left
almost
succourlesse
in
Fraunce
:
In
fine
,
was
beset
with
a
great
power
of
french
men
,
beyonde
all
possibilitie
,
for
his
strength
to
ouercome
:
and
albeit
,
hee
had
good
meane
to
escape
by
flight
,
yet
,
hee
courageously
abode
their
incounter
,
and
vpon
this
resolution
,
he
thus
sayd
vnto
his
sonne
:
Sonne
(
quoth
he
)
thou
art
yong
,
and
mayst
with
thy
honour
flye
:
But
I
am
old
,
and
haue
had
my
life
honored
with
many
victories
,
all
which
I
should
loose
,
if
I
should
deferre
my
death
(
which
by
course
of
nature
,
cannot
bee
farre
of
)
by
a
tymerous
flight
:
Therefore
,
I
am
bound
to
staye
:
What
should
his
sonne
doe
,
but
euen
which
he
did
?
followe
the
fortune
of
his
father
:
and
so
like
as
they
liued
,
Martialistes
,
do
allowe
:
the
one
absolutely
reprouing
desperate
ende
:
the
other
,
forbidding
a
man
wilfully
to
dye
,
when
by
his
death
,
hee
neither
benefiteth
his
frend
,
nor
hurteth
his
enimie
:
And
yet
,
the
greatnes
of
these
mens
courages
,
are
to
be
honored
,
although
not
necessary
to
be
followed
.
But
necessitie
many
tymes
approueth
resolute
bouldnesse
,
to
be
honorable
,
profitable
,
and
necessarie
.
As
,
at
the
Mountaine
Antilliban
,
in
Arabia
,
Alexander
being
a
foote
,
Tutor
Lysimacus
,
who
in
a
maner
was
tyred
with
trauell
:
and
being
bee-nighted
,
and
out
of
his
waye
,
hee
perceaued
that
his
barborous
enimies
had
made
diuers
fires
in
the
Mountaine
,
by
whome
he
must
passe
:
and
therefore
,
as
his
best
remedy
in
that
extremitie
,
he
sodenly
set
vppon
one
of
the
companies
,
slue
two
of
the
saluadges
,
and
like
a
Fury
with
a
firebrand
in
his
hand
,
he
made
a
passage
vntill
hee
came
vnto
his
Campe
:
And
by
this
hazard
,
hee
both
preserued
him selfe
,
and
those
that
were
with
him
:
Malians
,
the
stoutest
people
of
the
Indians
,
who
hauing
scaled
the
walles
of
their
Cittie
,
his
scaling
ladder
broke
:
and
seeing
that
his
Enimies
assaulted
him
,
sharply
with
thieir
Darts
,
he
sodenly
leaped
among
the
thickest
of
them
,
who
with
the
noyse
and
shining
of
his
Armour
,
so
feared
his
enemies
(
supposing
that
a
light
or
sprite
,
went
before
him
)
they
fled
on
euery
side
:
and
when
in
the
end
they
assailed
him
,
hee
set
his
backe
to
the
wall
,
and
fought
against
the
Malians
,
vntil
his
Army
had
broke
into
the
cittie
,
and
both
rescued
him
,
and
subdued
the
Malians
.
The
like
aduenture
of
Caesar
,
running
desperatly
vppon
the
fierce
Neruij
,
Romaines
,
who
had
that
day
beene
all
slaine
,
if
Caesar
had
not
incouraged
them
with
this
little
care
of
life
.
The
Senate
so
honored
Caesar
for
this
victorie
,
because
the
danger
was
great
:
as
they
ordained
,
that
the
Sacrificators
should
doe
sacrifice
vnto
the
Gods
,
and
that
there
should
be
solempne
procession
fifteene
dayes
together
,
without
intermission
,
hauing
before
neuer
made
the
like
ordinance
at
Rome
,
for
any
victorie
that
euer
was
obtained
.
The
dangers
of
war
are
oftentimes
such
,
as
necessity
spurreth
the
valiant
Gentleman
,
to
runne
vpon
the
like
perils
:
and
therein
is
true
valiancy
seene
:
For
,
many
wil
be
●orwarde
,
where
the
hazard
is
indifferent
,
that
haue
no
legs
to
follow
such
exploits
:
And
●or
that
this
seruice
is
many
times
required
of
the
worthie
Souldier
,
without
execution
whereof
he
can
neuer
be
famous
.
The
Souldier
of
all
men
ought
to
set
the
feare
of
God
before
his
eyes
,
Mars
,
as
duly
as
vpon
Surfet
:
)
And
surely
,
he
that
retourneth
safe
out
of
the
●ield
,
escapeth
as
great
a
danger
as
he
that
is
recouered
of
a
mortall
infirmitie
:
and
as
men
commonly
see
nothing
but
holy
&
good
matters
among
men
that
are
sicke
,
so
,
the
conuersation
of
the
auncient
Romane
Souldiers
,
was
purged
from
dissolute
,
and
vngodly
behauiour
.
The
faith
of
a
Souldier
,
is
at
this
day
a
common
pr●testation
,
but
in
those
dayes
,
was
neuer
violated
.
Alexander
,
surnamed
Seuerus
,
had
so
well
a
gouerned
Army
,
as
his
companies
were
reputed
to
be
rather
Philosophers
than
Souldiers
.
The
Souldier
was
in
that
gouerment
pryuiledged
as
a
sick
man
:
The
T●staement
Millitarie
,
The
Bequeast
that
Artorius
made
to
his
friende
Lucius
,
and
his
heires
(
at
the
stege
of
Ierusalem
)
for
the
inheriting
of
his
lands
,
Titus
commanded
to
be
executed
:
&
as
men
that
ar
sicke
(
dispose
their
goods
to
their
children
&
frendes
,
so
the
Romanes
by
a
publique
law
,
enacted
,
that
the
sonne
of
euery
Souldier
that
was
slaine
(
how
young
soeuer
hee
were
)
should
inherite
the
Paye
of
his
father
:
Cra●inius
,
sayd
to
Caesar
:
I
will
before
night
be
praised
,
either
aliue
or
dead
.
For
,
in
both
estates
,
the
vertues
and
valiant
are
,
and
shal
be
alwayes
commended
:
and
as
it
is
the
principall
duety
of
a
Souldier
to
be
hardy
and
resolute
in
execution
:
Lacedemonians
:
There
be
the
fruits
of
warre
,
the
losse
of
the
vanquished
is
certaine
,
and
the
Vanquishor
gaineth
nothing
by
his
losse
.
Theaft
,
murder
,
&c.
are
foule
vices
,
yet
is
the
Iudge
honorable
,
that
chastiseth
them
,
&
he
more
honorable
that
banisheth
than
:
euen
so
,
war
which
is
composed
of
these
&
many
other
mischiefs
,
commendeth
the
worthy
Souldier
,
that
with
his
sword
dryueth
this
monster
(
Warre
)
foorth
of
the
Cittie
gates
,
and
by
clemencie
,
out
of
the
Cittizens
harts
.
What
greater
victorie
had
euer
Augustus
Caesar
,
then
in
pardoning
of
Lutius
Cinna
.
This
Cinna
conspired
against
Caesar
,
Cinna
:
When
Cinna
was
come
,
hee
caused
a
chaire
to
be
set
him
which
done
,
Th'
emperour
opened
all
his
benefits
towards
Cinna
,
and
of
Cinnaes
ingratitude
,
in
seeking
of
his
life
:
These
circumstaunces
abashed
Cinna
:
But
Caesar
ending
his
expostulation
,
thus
comforted
Cinna
.
Cinna
(
quoth
hee
)
I
once
gaue
thee
thy
life
being
my
enemie
,
and
now
I
giue
it
thee
being
a
traitor
,
and
a
paracide
.
Cinna
(
being
vanquished
with
this
clemencie
)
became
so
faithful
and
assured
a
friend
to
Caesar
,
Augustus
,
might
haue
executed
Cinna
,
and
so
haue
beene
rid
of
a
dangerous
enemie
:
But
in
pardoning
of
him
,
Iulius
Caesar
,
had
neuer
beene
so
great
a
Monarke
,
if
hee
had
not
gloried
in
the
forgiuing
of
his
enimies
:
Yea
,
hauing
ouercome
Pompey
the
great
,
he
entertained
all
Pompeys
frends
,
with
suche
clemencye
and
curtesie
,
as
many
of
them
honored
him
with
faithful
seruice
.
When
he
had
ended
the
Ciuil
warres
,
hee
shewed
such
clemency
to
his
enimies
,
that
bore
armes
against
him
,
Behold
,
Caesar
setteth
vp
Pompeys
Images
,
that
his
owne
may
stande
the
surer
.
And
certainly
(
though
Caesar
set
them
vp
of
a
magnanimous
disposition
)
Cicero
spake
the
trueth
in
derision
:
for
Clemency
setleth
loue
and
good-wil
in
subiects
,
Alexander
the
great
,
was
highly
renowned
for
the
Clemencie
that
he
vsed
towardes
his
enimies
:
Especially
,
when
the
stout
messadge
of
Iadus
the
chiefe
Sacrificator
,
moued
him
so
purpose
the
destruction
of
Ierusalem
:
Neuerthelesse
,
when
Iadus
putting
on
his
Garments
of
preesthood
,
and
accompanied
with
the
people
,
cloathed
all
in
white
,
humbled
himselfe
before
this
great
King
,
Alexander
,
gratiously
receiued
him
:
and
entring
peaceably
into
the
cittie
,
he
not
onely
gaue
rich
gifts
to
the
Sacrificatour
,
but
shewed
great
liberalitie
towardes
all
the
people
.
The
courage
of
these
great
Monarkes
,
conquered
kingdomes
by
force
:
and
their
clemencie
,
millions
of
people
with
loue
.
It
is
a
wonder
what
a
tumult
the
people
made
in
Rome
,
when
Caesar
was
treacherously
slaine
,
they
so
honored
him
for
this
vertue
,
none
of
the
Senators
durst
stirre
forth
of
their
dores
,
nor
none
of
the
Conspirators
abyde
the
Towne
:
they
slewe
all
Caesars
suspected
enimies
,
and
fyred
many
of
their
houses
.
On
the
contrarie
part
,
Tamberlaine
,
and
other
cruel
Tyrants
,
were
neither
beloued
a
liue
,
nor
moned
after
death
.
When
God
deliuereth
any
Cittie
or
towne
into
their
hands
,
they
(
especially
)
the
Spaniard
and
the
Italian
)
take
small
compassion
of
the
Inhabitantes
afflictions
:
but
to
iniurie
them
in
the
hyest
extreamitie
,
as
the
sweetest
part
of
their
spoile
,
they
most
impiously
,
and
barbarously
abuse
honest
matrones
&
deflower
their
daughters
:
Which
vnpardonable
and
vnsufferable
offences
,
the
vengeance
of
God
still
followeth
:
and
therfore
this
Turkish
wickednes
,
that
stinketh
before
god
&
man
,
is
to
be
banished
or
rather
to
be
punished
in
euery
Christian
Army
.
The
Continencie
of
Alexander
,
Scipio
,
and
many
other
most
illustrious
Captains
,
Alexander
,
vsed
the
wife
,
Darius
,
and
other
most
beautiful
Ladies
of
Persia
,
with
so
honorable
&
chaste
a
regarde
;
as
he
tooke
awaye
all
suspition
,
that
should
make
them
feare
to
be
dishonored
or
deflowred
.
He
would
oftentimes
say
,
that
the
Ladies
of
Persia
,
made
mens
eyes
sore
to
beholde
them
:
but
notwithstanding
,
preferring
the
beautie
of
his
continencie
,
before
their
sweet
faces
,
he
did
neuer
suffer
himself
to
be
alured
,
yea
,
he
so
much
hated
vnchaste
affections
,
as
hearing
that
Damon
&
Timotheus
vnder
Parmenioes
charge
,
had
forced
two
of
their
fellowe
Souldiers
wiues
:
He
wrote
vnto
Parmenio
,
if
they
were
found
giltie
,
to
put
them
to
death
,
as
brute
beastes
,
&
destroyers
of
mankind
:
yea
,
so
vnspotted
was
Alexanders
fame
in
this
vertue
,
that
Darius
Cyrus
Throane
,
to
recompence
the
great
honour
,
that
in
my
misery
,
hee
shewed
to
those
I
loued
best
in
the
world
.
Aulus
,
Gellius
,
Scipio
,
with
the
chastitie
of
ALEXANDER
.
Scipio
,
entring
by
force
of
Armes
into
the
new
Cittie
of
Carthage
(
among
other
captiues
)
hee
was
presented
with
a
most
faire
Damosell
,
young
,
and
of
a
most
excellent
proportion
:
who
,
notwithstanding
,
hee
was
in
the
flower
of
his
youth
,
so
vanquished
his
affections
,
as
he
did
no
dishonest
act
with
the
mayde
.
And
afterwards
vnderstanding
that
shee
was
of
a
noble
house
,
and
betroathed
to
a
great
Lord
of
Spaine
,
hee
sent
to
seeke
him
forth
,
and
deliuered
the
Damosell
vnto
him
,
in
no
point
dishonored
:
This
Scippio
was
the
most
illustrious
captaine
that
euer
Roome
fostered
:
Hee
,
Carthage
:
hee
was
called
Prince
of
the
Senate
:
which
dignitie
,
was
giuen
vnto
none
but
such
as
had
obtained
the
Type
of
all
honour
:
he
vsed
such
discipline
in
his
Army
,
as
his
meanest
Souldiers
seemed
,
to
bee
graue
Senators
:
and
as
Plutarke
sayth
,
And
as
companions
with
this
beastly
sinne
,
He
was
so
temperate
of
his
dyet
,
as
when
the
Princes
Ada
,
of
meere
goodwill
,
sent
him
many
dilicate
dishes
of
meate
:
He
sent
her
word
,
he
knewe
not
what
to
do
with
them
:
For
his
gouernor
Lyonides
,
appointed
him
for
his
dinner
,
to
rise
before
day
,
and
to
march
in
the
night
:
and
for
his
supper
,
to
eat
but
a
little
at
dinner
:
A
spare
dyet
for
a
Prince
,
yet
necessary
for
him
that
wrought
for
the
whole
world
to
haue
his
bodie
hardened
and
prepared
for
all
dangers
.
Haniball
&
Iugurthe
,
could
neuer
haue
punished
the
Romanes
so
oft
,
if
that
with
wonderfull
paines
,
they
had
not
placed
their
aduauntages
,
neither
could
they
haue
taken
halfe
the
paines
,
if
their
bodies
had
not
beene
prepared
with
a
temperate
and
thinne
diet
.
The
temperaunce
of
Iulius
Caesar
,
in
eating
and
drinking
,
is
vpon
many
occasions
commended
,
and
it
well
appeared
by
the
ablenes
and
exercise
of
his
body
,
hee
vndertooke
great
matter
,
and
therfore
,
it
behoued
him
to
bestur
himselfe
:
And
(
sure
)
dilligence
(
which
ouercommeth
the
mightiest
thinges
)
dwelled
in
hym
:
when
his
Souldiours
were
at
rest
,
hee
deuised
his
worthiest
Stratagemes
,
and
yet
he
so
tyred
them
with
such
dayly
trauels
that
they
cryed
out
,
To
what
ende
doth
this
man
hale
vs
after
him
,
vp
and
downe
the
world
?
Should
not
Caesar
think
when
hee
seeth
our
blood
and
woundes
,
that
we
are
mortall
men
,
and
feele
the
mise●ie
&
paine
that
other
men
do
?
But
neuerthelesse
,
Caesar
marched
:
and
they
for
shame
could
not
tarry
behinde
.
The
Souldiers
that
carrieth
,
subduing
minds
,
by
regard
of
these
worthy
examples
,
will
(
no
doubt
)
dyet
their
bodies
for
to
indure
,
paine
,
as
faulkeners
do
their
flying
Hawkes
:
and
he
that
wayeth
,
what
dangers
,
dishonors
,
&
ouerthrowes
,
haue
followed
feastings
,
drunkennesse
,
and
Idle
dalliaunce
,
will
(
if
he
regard
his
honour
)
be
more
affrayd
of
a
wanton
banquet
▪
then
a
bloody
battaile
.
Wine
,
and
delicate
cheere
,
were
the
baytes
that
Cyrus
layde
to
kill
Queene
Tomyris
sonne
,
and
a
great
part
of
her
Army
:
That
daye
that
Alexander
first
delighted
in
the
drunkennesse
and
effeminate
delicasie
of
the
Parsians
,
he
ouerthrew
his
owne
life
and
glory
:
For
in
his
drunkennesse
,
hee
put
his
best
Captaines
to
death
:
and
in
reuenge
was
poysoned
himselfe
.
The
Romaines
so
hated
this
drunken
and
voluptuous
exercise
,
as
when
Lucius
Pius
,
had
brought
the
Sarmates
vnto
a
voluntary
obedience
by
his
often
banquetting
,
and
making
of
them
good
cheere
,
and
at
his
retourne
to
Rome
,
demanded
to
triumphe
:
The
Senate
not
only
denyed
him
this
honour
,
but
in
disdaine
of
his
drunken
victorie
,
they
put
him
openly
to
death
,
and
for
his
further
reproche
,
they
wrote
this
Epitaphe
vpon
his
Tombe
:
Heere
Lucius
Pius
,
Consull
lyes
,
Who
not
with
Armes
in
Fielde
:
But
with
Wine
,
mirth
and
Table-cheare
,
Did
make
the
Sarmates
yeelde
.
THe
Senate
not
yet
content
,
adnulled
all
that
Lucius
had
done
,
and
by
their
letters
remitted
the
Sarmates
into
their
auncient
libertie
.
And
certainly
,
Romanes
,
they
refused
to
make
a
benefite
of
any
thing
that
was
dishonorable
:
and
for
that
the
president
is
necessarie
for
all
Souldiers
to
follow
,
this
one
other
shorte
example
,
shall
not
bee
impertinent
to
the
purpose
.
Fabritius
,
being
encamped
before
the
Citie
of
Fidena
,
a
Schoolemaister
of
the
Towne
,
in
hope
of
some
great
preferment
,
stole
foorth
and
presented
Fabritius
with
the
children
of
the
most
worthy
Citizens
:
The
Consull
saw
,
that
this
was
a
good
meane
to
become
Lord
of
the
Cittie
.
Neuertheles
,
he
refused
th'
aduantage
:
&
for
his
hyre
,
he
bound
the
Scoolemaister
,
and
caused
the
boies
with
rods
to
whippe
him
into
the
towne
:
to
recompence
which
honorable
fauour
,
the
Cittizens
willingly
payed
tribute
vnto
the
Romanes
.
What
would
the
heathen
Romanes
(
who
were
thus
precise
in
matters
of
honor
)
iudge
of
many
christians
,
Athiests
,
and
such
earthly
Furies
,
to
poison
,
murder
,
and
betraye
annointed
Princes
and
their
soueraignes
.
Their
Censure
coulde
be
no
other
,
but
that
they
them selues
feared
God
:
and
that
such
Christians
and
their
instruments
followed
the
Deuill
.
But
to
continue
further
with
Millitarie
documents
:
it
is
not
inough
that
the
Souldier
be
valiant
in
execution
,
mercifull
after
victorie
,
chaste
of
body
,
temperate
in
eating
and
drinking
,
and
a
hater
of
Plenes
:
The
Romanes
had
a
speciall
regard
,
in
the
chastising
and
purging
of
this
faulte
,
as
worse
then
a
plague
in
an
Army
:
they
,
without
respect
of
persons
,
punished
disobedience
,
as
appeereth
by
the
seuere
lentence
,
that
the
Consull
Titus
Manlius
gaue
vpon
his
owne
only
sonne
,
whose
disobedience
was
both
honorable
and
bene●itiall
to
the
Romanes
:
but
they
esteemed
not
of
that
benefite
which
nourrished
a
mischiefe
.
The
Consull
,
commaunded
that
no
man
should
fight
,
without
his
direction
.
Genutins
Metius
,
one
of
the
enimies
pricked
forth
&
challenged
Manlius
sonne
.
Yong
Manlius
thought
it
a
foule
shame
and
dishonour
to
refuse
Genutius
:
and
therefore
,
couragiously
set
vpon
the
challenger
,
ouercame
and
slewe
him
,
and
was
of
all
his
fathers
Souldiers
,
highly
commended
But
the
Consull
vnderstanding
of
this
matter
,
called
for
his
Sonne
:
and
tould
him
,
that
he
commaunded
that
no
man
should
fight
,
without
his
derection
:
and
for
as
much
as
he
had
broke
the
order
which
is
to
be
kept
in
war
:
by
which
thitherto
Rome
had
beene
aduanced
to
great
honour
:
and
therefore
,
sonne
(
quoth
he
)
since
the
choyse
is
so
hard
,
that
I
must
either
forget
the
common
weale
,
or
else
depriue
my selfe
of
thee
,
in
whome
I
tooke
(
priuatly
)
most
delight
in
,
I
will
that
the
common
weale
take
no
hurt
:
and
therevpon
he
willed
the
hangman
to
take
his
sonne
,
&
to
execute
on
him
the
punishments
,
due
vnto
those
that
by
euill
example
,
hurt
the
discipline
&
obedience
of
souldiers
:
which
was
to
binde
him
to
a
stake
,
to
whipe
him
,
and
afterwards
to
behead
him
.
The
like
sentence
,
Brutus
gaue
of
his
Sonnes
,
for
that
contrary
to
a
generall
Commaundement
,
they
wrote
but
letters
to
call
Tarquinius
in
againe
.
If
there
worthie
Captaines
,
●or
light
Trespasses
thus
sharply
punished
their
Sonnes
,
what
hope
of
fauour
may
the
priuate
Souldier
expect
,
that
rashly
&
disobediently
breaketh
the
orders
of
the
Leaders
?
euen
the
fauour
that
a
Rebell
deserueth
in
a
peaceable
gouernement
.
For
,
Beato
colui
,
chi
puo
far
beato
altrui
:
Happy
is
he
,
that
can
make
another
man
happy
:
Euen
so
,
needelesse
and
vnprolitable
rashnes
,
by
wilfull
falling
vpon
the
enimies
Sword
,
is
reducul●us
,
daungerous
,
&
very
dishonorable
:
for
as
there
is
a
saying
in
Martiall
pollicy
:
Hee
that
flyeth
the
field
,
may
retourne
againe
,
and
annoy
his
Aduersarie
:
when
he
that
is
vnprofitably
and
rashly
slaine
,
possesseth
his
enimie
with
the
glory
of
his
death
,
without
feare
of
reuenge
.
As
did
the
vntemperate
Capadocians
,
Perdicas
,
inclosed
them selues
within
their
Citie
,
&
with
fire
consumed
the
same
,
ioyntly
with
them selues
,
wi●es
,
children
,
&
goods
:
And
by
this
vnnaturall
hardinesse
,
made
Perdicas
spoyle
(
in
trueth
)
to
bee
small
,
and
their
owne
after
fortune
to
be
nothing
:
But
in
the
reprehension
of
rashnes
and
disobedience
,
in
a
Souldier
,
there
is
no
intent
,
For
the
Coward
doth
not
only
hurt
with
his
own
●eare
,
but
by
his
running
awaye
,
a
number
are
discomforted
,
and

,
Titus
Liuius
&
Iulius
Frontinus
,
writeth
,
that
Appius
Claudius
,
and
Marcus
Anthonius
,
punished
the
Cowardly
Romanes
(
which
were
very
few
)
in
this
manner
:
The
squadrons
and
bandes
,
by
whome
the
enimie
had
passadge
,
drewe
cuts
,
and
of
whome
soeuer
the
lot
fell
,
he
presently
was
put
to
death
.
Damatria
,
Lacedemon
,
hearing
that
her
sonne
had
not
fought
,
as
became
a
Lacedemonian
,
presently
at
his
retourne
,
shee
slewe
him
with
her
owne
hands
,
as
one
that
was
sory
she
had
borne
so
cowardly
a
sonne
.
And
surely
,
hee
,
that
commeth
into
the
fielde
,
and
is
a●earde
to
fight
,
must
the
rest
of
his
life
,
looke
to
liue
like
an
Owle
:
but
small
circumstances
suffice
in
this
point
:
For
Englishmen
,
to
whom
I
direct
this
Treatise
,
as
the
learned
Sir
Thomas
Smith
writeth
,
Athenians
,
had
no
other
remedie
against
this
poison
,
b●●
to
deuise
a
law
,
called
Ostraci●me
:
Enuy
,
raigned
strongly
among
the
Romanes
,
but
there
were
to
many
occasions
of
aduauncement
,
as
their
Enuy
brought
forth
honorable
effectes
:
for
that
vertue
,
being
there
the
ladder
of
aduauncement
,
euery
one
sought
by
worthines
to
clyme
the
●yest
degree
.
When
Porsinaes
hoaste
,
Roome
,
Cocleus
was
highly
honored
for
a
peece
of
Seruice
about
a
woodden
bridge
,
which
the
noble
Mutius
Sceuola
so
enuyed
,
as
to
doe
his
countrie
a
greater
seruice
,
he
in
the
habit
of
a
pedler
,
entred
into
the
Hetruian
campe
,
euen
vnto
the
kinges
tent
,
and
there
slewe
the
Kinges
Secretary
in
steede
of
the
king
:
Sceuola
was
taken
vpon
the
fact
,
&
boldly
confessed
his
determination
:
The
king
to
increase
his
torment
,
commanded
that
hee
should
be
burned
to
death
with
a
torch
:
by
peace-meales
,
in
his
own
presence
:
Sceuola
(
constantly
)
without
change
of
countenan e
,
endured
the
burning
of
his
hande
,
which
so
abashed
the
king
,
as
hee
deliuered
Sceuola
,
&
made
peace
with
the
Romanes
,
for
feare
they
would
haue
many
Sceuolaes
to
endanger
him
,
when
hee
should
lacke
Secretaries
to
doe
him
the
former
seruice
:
This
was
the
Enuy
that
rained
among
the
Romanes
,
while
vertue
iudged
mens
demerites
:
but
the
common
Enuy
,
wher
she
hath
passadge
,
is
like
a
swine
in
a
garden
,
a
destroyer
without
regarde
,
and
in
a
Campe
,
a
very
subuertion
.
And
for
that
this
is
a
common
fault
among
the
greatest
,
Moreouer
,
because
it
is
a
passion
vncurable
.
I
would
to
God
,
the
Enuious
would
Counsell
themselues
,
as
the
two
worthy
Enimies
.
Cretinus
Magnesius
,
and
Hermias
did
.
King
Mithridates
,
being
at
warre
with
theie
Countrey
,
Cretinus
Magnetius
,
gaue
his
consent
that
his
great
enimie
HERMIAS
,
should
be
captaine
against
Mithrida●es
:
and
in
the
meane
season
,
he
solemply
protested
,
to
banish
himselfe
his
Countrey
,
least
there
might
some
tumult
or
businesse
arise
by
their
factions
:
But
Hermias
knowing
Cretinus
to
be
the
better
Captaine
of
both
,
for
the
loue
hee
bare
to
his
Country
gaue
that
honour
to
his
enimie
,
&
banished
himselfe
vntill
the
warres
were
at
an
ende
:
If
euery
man
would
follow
this
worthy
example
,
that
Monster
Enuy
,
might
very
well
take
priuate
reuenge
,
but
should
neuer
worke
publique
distruction
,
as
she
doth
(
for
the
most
)
where
she
conquereth
.
A
great
many
duties
binde
a
man
to
preferre
the
loue
of
his
Con●trey
before
an
enuious
desire
of
reuenge
:
but
I
pray
god
a
litle
grace
bridle
the
enuious
mans
affections
:
for
it
is
to
be
●eared
,
if
prayer
preuent
n●t
,
There
is
another
foule
common
fault
,
to
be
hated
of
a
Souldier
:
which
is
,
in
thinking
ouer
well
of
himselfe
,
to
di●daine
another
that
carrieth
not
so
proude
a
countenance
:
For
Contenaunce
is
so
great
a
deceiuer
,
as
it
brought
foorth
this
Adage
,
Fronti
nulla
fides
:
but
as
the
slender
Grayhound
,
byteth
as
sore
as
the
strong
Mastife
,
and
ouertaketh
sooner
:
euen
so
,
a
weake
man
may
haue
more
strength
in
his
head
,
then
a
mighty
in
his
body
.
The
prudent
Sertorius
,
made
proofe
of
Catoes
graue
,
saying
:
(
Ingen●o
pollit
,
〈◊〉
vim
natura
negauit
)
by
a
pretty
example
.
A
litle
,
weake
,
but
yet
a
pollitick
man
,
and
among
other
Souldiers
a
great
,
big
,
boned
,
braineles
Lubber
:
he
had
also
two
horses
,
th'
one
fat
,
lusty
,
&
with
a
thick
taile
th'
other
a
litle
leane
horse
,
&
almost
without
a
taile
:
Sertorius
,
appointed
the
litle
●eeble
man
to
plucke
of
the
great
horse
tayle
:
and
the
big
&
sturdy
Souldier
,
to
pluck
of
the
few
ha●res
,
that
were
of
the
leane
horse
taile
:
The
weake
man
,
whome
good
education
,
had
giuen
wit
&
pollicie
in
the
place
of
strength
,
pulled
by
three
or
iiij
.
haires
at
once
,
&
so
quickly
of
a
long
tayle
,
left
no
taile
:
The
other
a
good
strong
yeomans
body
,
tugged
at
the
whole
taile
,
and
wrought
vntill
he
sweate
:
but
sty●red
not
a
haire
:
An
example
of
double
pro●it
&
instruction
:
The
ackt
of
the
weak
man
sheweth
that
a
handfull
of
witte
,
is
worth
a
horse
loade
of
strength
:
and
the
bootles
,
tugging
of
the
strong
man
,
witnesseth
the
mightie
force
of
a
●ewe
,
that
are
firmely
vnited
together
:
and
the
diuision
of
the
great
tayle
,
the
confusion
of
a
multitude
,
that
are
among
themselues
deuided
.
It
is
then
a
principall
vertue
in
a
Souldier
,
to
intertaine
his
companion
with
milde
conuersation
,
&
a
great
part
of
his
safetie
,
to
be
vnited
vnto
him
,
in
assured
frendship
.
This
disdaine
and
proude
vpbraiding
of
men
,
Disdaine
(
as
I
haue
sayde
)
came
from
the
Dunghill
:
And
of
such
a
Gentleman
,
Claudian
thus
writeth
:
Asperius
nihil
est
humili
cum
surgit
in
Altum
:
Then
let
disdaine
bee
proper
to
a
Dunghill
minde
,
who
hauing
no
Ornamentes
of
vertue
,
holdeth
his
placeby
proude
&
disdainfull
behauiors
.
But
the
Souldier
and
euery
man
that
thir●teth
for
true
honour
,
must
holde
this
for
a
principall
,
that
Reputation
consisteth
in
a
mans
owne
wel
doing
,
and
not
in
an-other
mans
disgrace
.
It
is
a
good
course
then
for
euery
man
,
to
honour
himselfe
with
good
indeu●urs
:
and
a
great
blame
to
dishonour
another
with
infamous
wordes
:
For
art
hath
made
no
man
so
perfect
,
but
that
hee
may
dayly
learne
:
nor
nature
no
man
so
imperfect
,
but
he
may
be
an
instrument
of
some
good
purpose
.

Euery

but
his
seruice
that

profitable
,
is
no
way
to
be
disdained
.
Alexander
the
great
,
wrote
a
booke
,
which
hee
called
Remembraunces
for
euery
day
,
He
that
wil
be
worthy

let
him
looke
into
worthy

doings
,

follow
the
examples
of

man
can
haue
a
greater
light
,
then
of
the
Sunne
,
nor
better
instruction
,
then
from
the

To
conclude
,
it
is
a
most
honorable
vertue
,
and
a
necessarie
duty
in
a
Souldier
,
Caesar
the
best
Captaine
that
euer
liued
,
was
so
addicted
to
study
,
as
there
was
a
question
:
whether
he
were
more
inclined
to
the
Launce
,
or
to
his
booke
?
who
being
one
day
in
a
mortall
danger
,
at
Alexandria
,
to
saue
himself
,
he
leaped
into
the
water
,
and
uing
a
Booke
in
his

,
he
had
such
care
thereof
,
as
he
held

vpon

Antigonus

to

thus
saluted

to

Zenon
:
I
know
well
that
I

of

:
But
I
must
confesse
that
thou
farre

in
the
true
felicitie
,
which
consisteth
in
the
knowleadge
,
discipline
,
and
study
of
the
liberall
Sciences
:
and
therefore
,
I
desire
the
accord
,
that

,
you

for
that
your
