Syr
,
I
am
as
glad
of
your
safe
ariuall
,
as
any
one
of
your
best
,
and
assured
friendes
.
Blandy
.
You
had
past
by
(
I
promise
you
)
vnknowen
,
had
not
your
courtesie
excéeded
my
memory
.
But
now
that
I
call
you
to
minde
(
my
good
and
approued
friende
)
no
man
(
beleue
me
)
can
be
more
welcome
to
me
,
then
you
,
no
man
more
beloued
of
me
,
then
your selfe
:
wherefore
let
not
my
forgetfulnesse
(
I
pray
you
)
bring
our
friendshipp
vnsteyned
,
so
long
and
so
déepely
fixed
,
in
question
.
Gate
.
No
féeblenesse
of
memory
can
purchase
suspition
,
or
bréede
mislyke
there
,
where
inward
affections
ioyne
,
and
méete
swéetely
together
:
Sense
,
and
féeling
,
is
fraile
and
slippery
,
what
the
minde
recordeth
,
and
caryeth
in
it
most
faythfully
imprinted
,
that
I
holde
most
deare
and
pretious
.
Blandy
.
Had
I
not
alwayes
noted
in
you
that
secret
and
excellent
instinct
,
of
the
good
and
better
vnderstanding
:
I
had
neuer
bene
so
much
inclined
towardes
you
.
Gate
.
I
thanke
you
hartely
of
your
good
opinion
,
but
chiefely
I
ioy
in
this
:
that
you
and
I
agrée
in
the
onely
ground
and
foundation
of
true
and
perfect
amitye
,
wherehence
the
causes
of
all
noble
actions
whatsoeuer
doe
flowe
:
that
whatsoeuer
we
purpose
,
attempt
,
and
aduenture
,
resteth
wholy
in
the
excellencye
of
the
minde
,
and
of
that
part
of
the
minde
,
which
reason
perswadeth
,
pietye
directeth
,
honor
rewardeth
,
felicitye
crowneth
.
Blandy
.
What
meane
you
syr
,
where
you
say
of
that
part
of
the
minde
?
Is
not
the
minde
a
complete
and
entire
thing
?
Is
it
not
in
his
proper
nature
most
pure
,
and
frée
in
it selfe
from
contagion
?
Or
hauing
moe
partes
,
is
there
a
preheminence
and
superioritye
?
Gate
.
The
minde
according
to
the
opinion
of
Philosophers
(
the
true
and
diligent
searchers
out
of
naturall
causes
)
is
sorted
twofoldly
.
The
partition
whereof
,
standeth
chiefely
of
reason
,
then
of
sence
:
the
one
hath
lesse
,
the
other
more
communion
with
the
bodye
.
The
reasonable
part
in
euery
well
gouerned
bodye
,
hath
the
dominion
,
and
ruleth
principally
.
The
duetye
and
action
of
the
other
,
may
not
vnfitly
be
compared
(
albeit
in
a
contrary
manner
)
to
a
faythfull
Corporall
,
who
diligently
attendeth
the
watchfull
,
and
carefull
call
of
his
Sentenell
,
or
to
a
ready
and
valiant
souldiar
,
who
executeth
most
spéedely
the
will
of
his
commaunder
.
The
office
of
the
one
,
as
of
a
chiefe
,
is
to
commaunde
,
rule
,
and
controlle
:
the
dutye
of
the
other
to
obey
,
and
cherefully
prosecute
the
charge
to
him
committed
.
So
that
as
to
an
armye
encamped
no
greater
perill
can
happen
,
if
the
Corporall
sléepe
,
when
the
Sentenell
calleth
,
or
the
Souldiar
disobey
,
when
the
Chiefe
,
or
Captayne
commaundeth
:
in
lyke
manner
,
a
miserable
confusion
cannot
but
follow
that
minde
and
bodye
,
where
right
is
abused
,
and
the
course
of
nature
violated
.
Blandy
.
I
cannot
but
assent
(
except
I
would
striue
agaynst
reason
)
to
your
good
opinion
.
For
where
fansie
is
planted
without
iudgements
appoynting
,
where
lust
taketh
his
pleasure
without
reasons
lyking
,
where
furye
raungeth
without
polityke
direction
,
to
conclude
,
where
any
affect
is
found
phantastick
:
there
vnlooked
for
miserie
ouertakes
the
minde
forethinking
,
there
soueraignetye
lamentably
sobbeth
,
through
the
ryott
of
indignitye
.
Gate
.
I
perceaue
by
your
assertion
,
that
euery
man
in
this
lyfe
(
as
on
a
Theatre
or
stage
)
playes
one
parte
or
other
,
which
meriteth
shame
and
obloquie
,
or
deserueth
(
as
his
owne
right
)
due
commendation
.
Blandy
.
It
is
an
vndoubted
veritye
.
O
that
men
knew
,
and
dayly
presented
before
their
eyes
,
the
swéete
and
glorious
garland
that
is
purchased
by
vertue
,
and
chiefely
,
by
Magnanimitye
.
There
would
not
be
then
that
vnseasonable
,
and
lothsome
puffing
,
such
stryuing
,
and
wrestling
would
not
be
then
for
so
vile
a
wretch
.
The
complayntes
of
the
poore
would
not
be
then
so
many
,
and
so
pitifull
,
the
complayntes
of
the
rich
would
not
be
found
then
so
few
and
beggarly
.
Gentlemen
of
great
value
,
should
not
then
wander
as
Pilgrims
,
in
forrayne
landes
,
suspected
as
bastardes
,
and
children
borne
in
hast
.
Women
of
gentle
kinde
&
noble
bloud
,
should
not
be
reputed
as
blasted
blossomes
.
O
miserye
,
O
mischiefe
,
O
wickednes
.
Gate
.
What
tempest
,
what
styrre
,
what
tumult
is
this
?
what
cursed
caytife
is
it
you
speake
of
?
wherehence
procéedeth
your
woefull
crye
?
Blandy
.
I
stand
in
doubt
,
whether
silence
were
my
best
:
my
minde
notwithstanding
,
indeuoreth
to
offend
none
,
most
carefully
willing
my
Countryes
good
.
Gate
.
I
commend
in
no
wise
silence
in
him
,
whose
minde
is
so
well
bent
,
and
disposed
:
for
his
manner
is
to
produce
good
and
fruitefull
reason
.
wherefore
say
on
,
if
you
haue
conceaued
aught
,
worthye
the
hearing
.
Blandy
.
Being
in
Friseland
it
was
our
happ
(
if
you
well
remember
)
wherein
you
tooke
at
that
tyme
no
small
pleasure
,
to
be
ofte
rancked
together
:
Where
,
partely
to
make
our
labours
more
pleasaunt
,
but
chiefely
to
sift
and
féele
ech
others
drift
,
you
with
many
moe
of
sound
and
ripe
experience
,
moued
questions
too
and
fro
of
no
small
importaunce
.
All
which
had
relation
to
pollicye
,
and
ciuile
gouerment
.
Gate
.
I
cannot
easely
forget
the
diuersitie
of
those
discourses
,
interlaced
with
so
many
pleasaunt
and
pithye
speaches
.
In
the
varietye
of
which
inuention
,
a
castle
by
you
artificially
erected
,
was
,
of
as
many
as
heard
your
discourse
,
extolled
to
the
skyes
.
wherein
you
(
as
some
other
Amphion
)
moued
,
remoued
,
drewe
,
withdrewe
the
eares
of
your
hearers
,
whither
the
progresse
of
your
vnderstanding
(
deliuered
in
so
deyntye
and
trym
wordes
,
in
so
decent
and
comely
order
,
in
so
sugred
&
swéete
a
tongue
)
bent
it selfe
.
Wherefore
recount
,
I
most
hartely
pray
you
the
same
agayne
.
Blandy
.
I
thinke
it
not
best
.
Gate
.
Why
so
I
pray
you
?
Blan.
Were
it
not
(
thinke
you
)
a
poynt
in
me
of
great
follye
&
rashnesse
,
to
committ
to
the
viewe
of
wise
and
learned
men
a
repetition
of
a
wearisome
tale
and
fond
Imagination
,
especially
knowing
my selfe
to
haue
receaued
the
least
portion
of
learning
,
wherewith
infinite
numbers
of
our
owne
Countrymen
and
straugers
are
plentifully
indued
?
Agayne
,
what
fruite
will
you
reape
,
or
who
will
the
more
accompt
of
vs
,
if
you
and
I
speake
,
or
write
of
knowledge
,
in
a
worlde
replete
and
glutted
with
letters
?
Farther
who
will
now
almost
looke
vpon
,
and
regard
any
inuention
,
except
it
senteth
lyke
a
flower
,
and
in
shew
,
and
hue
be
lyke
vnto
a
Lillye
?
Lastly
,
doe
not
you
hazard
greatly
your
credite
,
to
ioyne
with
so
poore
and
simple
a
man
,
any
way
as
my selfe
,
you
being
through
many
daungerous
and
bitter
bruntes
,
in
the
field
approued
,
in
Martiall
affaires
expert
,
for
your
skill
and
pollicye
reputed
?
Gate
.
Discreete
and
sober
men
pardone
imperfection
,
where
the
minde
andinclination
is
good
.
The
fruite
that
I
purpose
,
and
hope
hereby
to
reape
,
is
the
weale
of
my
Countrye
.
Which
honest
and
vpright
intent
,
thowsand
moe
writers
can
no
wise
preiudice
.
And
whereas
many
fauor
pleasures
,
and
therefore
couet
such
letters
,
which
you
haue
not
vnproperly
compared
to
flowers
,
&
Lillyes
(
which
by
nature
are
good
,
yelding
a
sweete
but
yet
a
shorte
sent
,
pleasing
rather
the
sence
of
some
,
singular
persons
,
then
profiting
the
soule
of
a
Commonwealth
)
yet
all
are
not
so
ledd
and
minded
.
Wherefore
vnto
those
other
,
these
labors
shall
be
dedicated
,
who
are
of
a
more
highe
and
lofty
spirite
:
your
pouertye
which
you
meane
,
and
speake
of
,
hindreth
not
,
but
that
you
may
be
much
more
,
for
that
inricht
in
minde
.
Simplicity
is
the
ground
and
roote
of
heauenvly
wisedome
.
In
conclusion
who
could
fitt
me
to
addresse
and
finish
this
good
and
honest
enterprise
so
well
as
he
,
that
hath
bene
my
fellow
Souldiar
in
the
warres
,
who
hath
also
(
except
I
be
deceaued
greatly
)
more
then
tasted
of
the
streames
and
riuers
of
learning
?
Wherefore
be
of
good
courage
,
my
powers
are
prest
to
vpholde
your
penne
.
Blandy
.
I
am
altogether
wonne
to
your
good
desire
:
building
my
labors
(
as
on
a
sure
&
vnmoueable
rock
)
vpon
your
déep
and
tryediudgement
.
Yet
so
,
that
we
both
submitt
whatsoeuer
shall
be
by
vs
vttered
,
to
the
verdite
and
censure
of
those
who
preuayle
in
witte
,
excell
in
knowledge
and
learning
.
The
absolute
frame
and
building
therefore
,
whereof
I
in
our
March
discoursed
,
consisted
of
sixe
Romes
and
Chambers
.
Gate
.
Before
you
enter
further
into
this
discourse
,
shew
me
(
I
pray
you
)
the
forme
and
figure
of
the
frame
.
Blandy
.
It
was
sphericall
,
or
round
.
Gate
.
How
were
the
lodginges
deuided
?
Blandy
.
The
Roofe
and
highest
couering
conteyned
thrée
especiall
Chambers
with
theyr
peculiar
offices
,
directly
vnderneath
were
other
thrée
by
squares
and
spaces
distincted
.
And
to
the
end
you
should
holde
it
to
be
the
onely
monument
in
the
worlde
,
(
beleue
me
)
the
rarest
Mathematitian
in
Europe
,
vewed
first
the
place
and
according
to
the
swéete
and
safe
constillation
of
the
starres
drew
the
Platt
:
deliuering
to
posterity
this
testimony
for
his
perpetuall
honor
and
memory
,
that
if
the
partes
within
did
alwayes
obserue
and
aunswere
the
face
of
the
frame
,
they
should
feare
no
force
,
no
fury
,
no
brauado
,
no
bullett
,
no
battery
.
Gate
.
The
figure
of
this
frame
is
so
absolute
,
the
statelinesse
so
sumptuous
,
the
beauty
so
séemely
and
excéeding
rich
,
that
I
may
deeme
it
,
for
right
good
cause
,
the
onely
paterne
and
péereles
Pallace
in
the
world
,
what
name
hath
it
?
Blandy
.
This
Architecture
hight
Pollicye
.
Gate
.
For
whome
was
this
sumptuous
and
curious
worke
wrought
,
who
shall
possesse
a
Pallace
so
péereles
?
Blandy
.
A
King
,
A
Iusticer
,
A
Souldiar
,
A
Marchaunt
,
An
Artificer
,
A
Tiller
of
the
ground
.
Gate
.
Are
these
the
partes
you
spake
of
before
?
is
this
the
power
that
shall
possesse
and
defend
with
security
thys
inuincible
forte
?
May
no
one
of
greater
skill
and
déeper
reatch
controle
this
diuision
,
adde
vnto
,
or
diminish
the
number
?
Blandy
.
In
no
wise
.
Gate
.
Why
so
?
Blandy
.
The
workemanship
is
so
rare
,
the
strength
wherof
standeth
on
the
combination
of
the
partes
within
contayned
.
Gate
.
What
is
that
?
of
what
kinde
and
excellency
is
it
,
that
hath
so
fast
glued
them
together
,
and
is
to
the
frame
so
great
a
stay
and
firmament
?
Blandy
.
I
will
shew
you
.
To
euery
parte
before
rehearsed
,
belonges
his
proper
and
peculiar
vertue
and
qualitye
.
To
the
Prince
,
preheminence
,
to
the
Iusticer
,
iudgement
,
to
the
Souldiar
,
puissaunce
,
to
the
Marchaunt
,
desire
to
be
enriched
,
to
the
Artificer
,
delight
in
his
occupation
,
to
the
Tiller
of
the
ground
,
true
obedience
.
That
which
doth
most
firmely
and
strongly
ioyne
and
knitt
these
partes
together
,
is
Proportion
:
which
broken
and
defaced
,
not
onely
renteth
and
plucketh
in
sunder
the
frame
,
but
tottereth
withall
,
and
tumbleth
down
the
Prince
,
peruerteth
iustice
,
poysoneth
and
plucketh
downe
the
good
and
vpright
minde
of
the
Souldiar
,
robbeth
the
Marchaunt
,
ransacketh
the
Artificer
,
spoyleth
vtterly
the
simple
and
poore
laboursome
man
.
Gate
.
Is
this
that
you
call
Proportion
,
a
thing
of
so
great
perfection
?
Blandy
.
Proportion
is
of
that
force
and
stretcheth
forth
so
largely
,
that
no
man
without
an
especiall
regard
of
it
,
can
well
gouerne
himselfe
:
in
a
Family
,
Citty
,
and
common
wealth
,
the
power
thereof
doth
more
eminently
appeare
.
Gate
.
What
is
Proportion
(
I
pray
you
)
shew
me
?
Blandy
.
Proportion
is
the
iust
,
right
,
and
naturall
measure
of
thinges
,
directed
to
theyr
originall
and
first
creation
.
So
that
what
soeuer
is
more
,
or
lesse
,
greater
,
or
smaller
,
then
Arte
hath
deuised
,
&
course
of
kinde
kept
&
obserued
in
all
ages
,
limited
to
the
first
and
successiue
shape
,
not
onely
of
men
,
but
of
all
other
thinges
created
,
is
in
no
wise
to
be
called
proportioned
.
Gate
.
Then
all
thinges
haue
according
to
your
opinion
,
a
right
or
wrong
,
a
iust
or
vniust
proportion
.
Blandy
.
In
no
wise
so
.
For
this
opinion
I
defend
that
all
thinges
proportioned
are
straightened
and
made
vpright
through
knowledge
and
wisedome
:
all
other
crooked
and
mishapen
thinges
are
to
be
termed
Monsters
,
not
adding
there
unto
the
name
of
proportion
:
for
that
they
are
made
&
ingendred
through
error
and
blindenesse
.
Gate
.
If
you
would
in
a
simile
or
example
more
playnely
disclose
your
drifte
,
you
should
doe
me
a
right
acceptable
pleasure
.
Blandy
.
As
there
is
in
the
body
a
fayre
or
foule
,
a
neate
or
lesse
fine
,
an
amiable
or
odible
feature
,
that
is
,
when
euery
part
according
to
his
accustomed
and
naturall
proportion
aunswereth
other
,
or
as
superfluous
lumpes
resulteth
:
So
there
is
in
the
minde
(
betwixt
which
,
in
excellency
and
creation
of
nature
there
is
no
comparison
)
a
dimme
or
daynty
,
a
cleare

Me

howbeit
sometimes
casually

by
the

the

contayneth
an

which
notwithstanding

in

striueth
most
egerly

flying

incomparable

You

wonderfull

garnished

sometimes
so
cloyed

their

What
was
theyr
impiety
(
I
pray

shew
)
declaring
withall
theyr
punishment

Blandy

These
first
fell
to
the
neglect
&
contempt
of
God
,
being
enamored
with
the
beauty
of
themselues

and
maintayning
still
this
rebellious

yelded

to
theyr
owne

a
kinde
of
preheminence
in

not
vnlike

the
very

Wherefore
they
were
depriued
of
that
passing
cleare
light

whereof
they
were
most
vnworthy

throwne
downe
into

place
of
perpetuall
and
euerlasting
misery

into
the
darcke
dungeon
of
that
night
that
shall
euer

So
that
after
God
had
made
the
highest
heauens
and
wonderfull
worke
thereof
,
which
no
eye
hath
séene
,
then
he
framed
this

most
beautifull

excéeding
fayrenesse

garnishing
it
with
all
pleasures
and
commodities

In
the
making

he
vsed
no

his

To
what
purpose
,
and
for
whose
vse
that
most
high
creator

Lord
of

hath
made
this
so
beautiful

this
so
excellent
forme
and
shape
of
heauenly
bodies
,
this
so
large

spacious
greatnesse

For
it
is
not
the
practise
of
his
infinite
wisedome
to
doe
any
thing
in
vayne
,
but
for
some
excellent
ende

For

did

frame

For

thinke

would
haue
a

Blandy

In
no
wise

For
it
were
not
onely
a
wicked
thing

but
a
poynt
of
extreame
madnesse

to
thinke
so
of
that
most
blessed
minde

then
the
which
nothing
more
perfect

absolute
may
be
imagined

the
vertue

whereof
is
infinite

inscrutable

haue

tabernacle

times
before
he
wanted
somewhat
to
accomplishing
of
perfect

What
then
?
were
these
thinges
prouided
for
the
Aungels
and
Saintes
of
God
?
Blandy
In
no
wise
.
For
they
being
seuered
,
and
frée
from
all
fellowshipp
and
coniunction
of
the
bodye
,
desire
nothing
els
but
to
behold
their
maker
,
neither
can
they
reape
any
commoditye
,
or
conceaue
any
pleasure
of
thinges
beneath
in
these
lower
partes
.
And
to
thinke
this
great
and
wonderfull
worke
to
be
made
for
vnreasonable
creatures
,
or
for
the
vse
of
trées
and
plantes
,
for
fishes
,
byrdes
,
and
fowles

it
were
to
to
absurde

God
hath
not
therefore
deuised
this
so
goodly
and
beautifull
a
frame
for
himselfe
,
for
Aungels
,
for
the
fruites
of
the
earth
▪
for

voyde

Gate

In
all
this
season
,
where
was
man
,
for
whome
God
had
prepared
so
beautifull
,
so
rich
,
so
bountifull
a
kingdome
?
Blandy
.
Man
was
in
the
minde
,
vertue
,
and
iudgement
of
God
.
So
that
,
when
at
length
the
world
it selfe
was
finished
,
he
made
first
a
bodye
of
earth
,
them
he
breathed
therein
a
minde
finely
fashioned
,
according
to
his
owne
Image
and
similitude
.
Syr
sée
you
not
manifestly
the
beginning
and
creation
of
the
most
excellent
and
noble
minde
of
man
?
Gate
.
I
behold
it
(
as
in
a
glasse
)
deriued
and
taken
out
from
no
other
thing
,
then
the
spirite
of
God
:
and
being
inclosed
in
the
bodye
(
as
in
a
worthy
vessell
)
retaineth
a
deuine
forme
,
pure
,
and
deuoyd
of
all
filthy
corruption
.
Blan.
This
was
(
I
assure
you
)
mans
first
estate
,
this
was
the
first
beginning
&
foundation
of
that
excellencye
wherevnto
man
aspired
,
wherein
no
man
can
note
any
thing
,
but
that
which
is
right
honorable
,
and
worthye
of
high
estimation
.
Then
the
bodye
was
not
infected
with
any
vice
,
whereby
reason
might
be
disturbed
,
or
the
minde
obscured
with
darcknes
.
Man
knewe
then
,
all
sciences
,
vnderstoode
the
causes
of
all
thinges
,
was
sufficiently
learned
in
the
rule
and
discipline
of
lyfe
,
being
instructed
by
no
other
teacher
than
God
himselfe
,
the
geuer
of
all
knowledge
and
wisedome
.
And
he
did
not
onely
excell
all
other
creatures
in
the
comely
shape
and
feature
of
his
bodye
,
but
he
was
farr
beyond
them
all
in
the
amiable
,
most
excellent
,
and
deuine
forme
and
figure
of
the
minde
.
For
there
was
in
the
minde
no
error
,
no
motion
in
the
sence
,
whereby
the
rule
of
reason
might
be
disordered
:
whereas
reason
it selfe
,
as
it
were
in
a
perfect
and
florishing
Commonwealth
,
so
in
a
peaceable
and
quiet
estate
,
could
very
easely
restraine
all
raging
affections
.
The
minde
therefore
had
no
kinde
of
lett
and
impediment
,
whereby
it
might
be
hindered
from
dayly
contemplation
.
Gate
.
As
your
speach
hath
in
a
manner
surprised
me
with
ioy
,
to
thinke
of
our
originall
,
to
call
to
memory
,
how
gratiously
the
power
of
the
almighty
,
dealt
with
vs
(
and
to
speake
the
vttermost
)
that
we
procéeded
from
the
nature
and
substaunce
of
God
him selfe
:
so
I
féele
out
of
measure
a
touch
of
griefe
,
when
I
consider
that
we
remaine
not
in
the
estate
of
our
former
felicitye
▪
the
choyse
so
happy
,
the
chaunge
being
so
lamentable
.
Wherefore
,
open
(
I
pray
you
)
the
cause
of
so
greuous
and
great
a
calamitye
.
Blandy
.
After
God
had
shewed
himselfe
so
liberall
,
&
bountifull
towardes
man
,
he
made
him
president
and
chiefe
ruler
of
the
earth
,
appoynting
him
a
princely
place
for
his
habitation
.
The
Greekes
call
it
Paradice
:
a
Garden
flowing
with
most
pleasaunt
and
siluerlyke
springes
,
most
delectable
,
and
decked
with
greate
store
and
varietye
of
sweete
senting
flowers
,
most
fitt
to
liue
in
all
felicitye
and
pleasure
.
In
this
most
pleasaunt
seate
,
Man
was
placed
,
that
by
that
place
,
(
which
as
some
say
)
was
high
,
&
mounted
aloft
,
he
mought
learne
not
onely
lyke
a
ruler
and
gouernour
,
wisely
to
guide
the
sterne
thereof
:
but
also
thereby
be
admonished
with
discrete
gouernement
and
frée
libertye
,
to
take
vpon
him
the
charge
and
rule
ouer
all
other
liuing
creatures
.
He
had
therefore
a
princely
iurisdiction
ouer
earth
,
he
serued
onely
the
Lord
of
heauen
,
and
being
a
holy
one
,
wholy
dedicated
to
God
,
he
was
the
expounder
of
his
holy
will
and
pleasure
,
and
the
chiefe
Prince
,
and
first
parent
of
all
mankinde
.
He
had
a
lawe
geuen
him
,
that
he
should
exercise
that
frée
will
in
the
practise
of
vertue
,
that
at
length
he
might
by
his
owne
demerites
,
deserue
to
be
of
the
number
and
company
of
heauenly
Saintes
.
And
the
law
was
,
that
he
should
not
presume
to
touch
the
fruite
of
a
certayne
excéeding
goodly
apple
trée
,
which
conteyned
the
knowledge
of
good
and
euill
.
Gate
.
Did
God
geue
him
this
commaundement
,
that
he
disdayned
,
that
man
whome
he
had
manifoldly
blessed
,
should
haue
no
vnderstanding
thereof
?
Blandy
.
In
no
wise
:
but
that
by
that
meanes
he
would
the
better
foresée
and
prouide
for
those
thinges
which
apperteyned
to
his
good
estate
and
preseruation
.
For
he
knew
right
well
,
that
if
man
were
set
at
libertye
,
he
would
straight
way
worke
his
owne
confusion
.
So
therefore
,
God
did
moderate
his
libertye
,
by
ordayning
that
necessary
and
expedient
lawe
.
Neither
did
he
so
much
forbid
him
to
eate
of
that
fruite
,
as
that
he
should
not
slipp
into
that
,
which
by
that
fruite
was
meant
and
signified
.
Gate
.
I
could
neuer
yet
heare
,
or
haue
imagined
any
other
meaning
thereof
,
then
the
letter
testifieth
.
Blandy
.
Whether
this
may
be
construed
of
the
not
eating
of
the
fruite
or
no
,
I
leaue
it
,
and
stand
to
the
iudgement
and
correction
of
other
:
that
is
,
that
he
should
not
meddle
with
those
causes
,
or
search
by
his
owne
industrye
to
attayne
the
knowledge
of
those
thinges
,
which
his
capacitye
could
not
reach
and
comprise
:
Or
that
he
should
not
in
the
choyse
of
good
,
and
refusall
of
the
euill
,
vse
rather
his
owne
iudgement
,
then
the
will
and
pleasure
of
the
Almightye
,
by
whose
wisedome
he
should
yelde
himselfe
to
be
gouerned
:
Or
this
,
that
he
should
not
incline
himselfe
to
the
loue
of
those
good
thinges
which
are
mixt
and
intermedled
with
a
number
of
euills
:
therefore
I
say
,
whether
he
gaue
that
commaundement
to
Man
,
that
he
embracing
that
soueraigne
good
,
that
is
not
intermedled
with
any
enill
,
should
vtterly
refuse
other
good
things
which
appeare
faire
and
pleasaunt
,
and
yet
are
corrupt
and
poysoned
:
what
more
wholesome
precept
and
commaundement
might
haue
bene
ordayned
more
profitable
for
Man
.
Gate
.
Your
saying
is
most
true
.
For
our
wittes
are
vtterly
confounded
,
and
cloyed
with
the
search
of
those
causes
,
the
excéeding
déepnes
whereof
our
capacity
may
not
be
able
to
compasse
,
&
in
any
affayres
,
to
follow
our
owne
braine
,
and
not
to
be
ledd
by
the
light
of
the
wisedome
of
God
,
it
is
a
most
vndoubted
token
of
our
fall
and
vtter
confusion
.
But
to
be
leadd
away
from
that
good
thing
which
is
most
principall
and
the
onely
piller
and
firmament
that
holdeth
vp
this
proportioned
minde
you
speake
of
,
being
deceiued
with
the
swéetenesse
of
any
vayne
and
transitory
pleasure
,
it
is
to
be
holden
generally
a
thing
most
daungerous
and
deadly
.
Blandy
.
This
therefore
was
the
estate
of
our
first
parent
which
should
haue
bene
most
happy
and
blessed
,
if
he
had
not
acquaynted
himselfe
with
that
huge
and
cruell
monstrous
beast
,
that
hath
brought
to
all
nations
pestilent
infections
.
For
when
the
Prince
of
darckenesse
(
the
chiefe
Captaine
of
those
Angels
as
I
haue
declared
)
who
through
the
puffe
of
Pride
fell
into
the
lamentable
and
pittifull
pitt
of
perdition
,
who
vnderstood
and
saw
man
made
of
earth
,
ascend
into
that
place
of
glory
from
whence
he
fell
:
he
through
mallice
waxed
hoate
,
imagining
all
kinde
of
meanes
to
ouerthrow
vtterly
the
state
of
mankinde
.
Taking
vpon
him
therefore
the
shape
of
a
Serpent
assaulted
through
guiles
and
fayned
sleightes
,
the
woman
our
first
parentes
fellow
mate
,
whom
he
thought
to
subdue
with
lesse
labor
,
for
that
she
was
frayle
and
the
féebler
vessell
,
he
therefore
inticeth
her
,
and
with
swéete
and
sugred
wordes
allureth
her
,
to
the
eating
the
fruit
forbidden
:
bearing
her
in
hand
,
that
as
soone
as
she
should
take
a
tast
of
that
most
pleasaunt
Apple
,
she
should
eftsoone
be
inspired
with
that
heauenvly
knowledge
,
of
good
and
euill
.
The
woman
therefore
being
marueiloulsy
allured
with
the
fayrenesse
of
the
trée
,
and
also
inflamed
aboue
measure
with
the
desire
of
that
heauenly
science
and
wisedome
,
was
easily
induced
to
drinke
that
cupp
of
deadly
poyson
,
offered
vnto
her
,
by
that
most
subtle
and
pestilent
Serpent
.
Thus
,
the
woman
neglecting
the
commaundement
of
the
most
high
God
,
and
gracious
geuer
of
all
goodnesse
,
folowed
the
counsell
of
her
most
deadly
enemy
,
inuiting
also
her
husband
to
that
woefull
and
bloudye
banquett
.
This
was
the
originall
and
beginning
of
the
misery
of
man
.
Herehence
came
all
trouble
some
motions
of
minde
,
hereby
was
ingendred
in
the
flesh
all
chaungeable
&
wauering
desires
,
herehence
came
all
kinde
of
corruption
,
herehence
sprang
all
foolish
and
vayne
opinions
:
from
this
roote
rose
mortality
,
most
bitter
and
greuous
lamentations
,
sorrowes
,
sobbes
,
and
grones
,
for
feare
of
death
grew
from
this
foundation
:
which
the
seely
and
wretched
minde
of
man
incontinently
felt
.
For
this
was
most
iustly
deeréed
,
that
he
which
had
broken
the
commaundement
of
his
Lord
,
and
most
impudently
and
wickedly
stood
agaynst
his
will
and
pleasure
,
in
like
manner
should
haue
those
parts
which
before
were
obedient
,
rebellious
and
contraryly
disposed
,
assaying
most
desperately
to
inuade
and
ouerthrow
the
fortresse
of
reason
.
And
whereas
two
thinges
especially
belonged
to
man
,
that
is
to
exercise
himselfe
in
action
and
contemplation
,
and
therefore
was
indued
with
a
reasonable
minde
,
that
in
whatsoeuer
he
tooke
in
hand
,
he
should
wisely
gouerne
euery
affect
of
the
minde
and
imploy
all
the
power
of
his
minde
in
searching
out
of
heauenly
wisedome
:
he
in
both
these
partes
was
déepely
wounded
.
For
the
minde
,
when
the
cleare
light
therof
was
extinct
,
wherewith
it
before
glistred
gloriously
,
lay
now
ouercast
with
darckenesse
and
obscurity
,
and
the
whole
order
of
life
being
(
as
it
were
with
darcke
night
)
ouerwhelmed
,
was
wellnigh
yut
beside
his
rule
and
soueraygnety
,
so
that
although
in
that
darckenesse
some
glimse
of
light
appeared
,
yet
could
it
not
thereby
be
guyded
to
the
end
desired
.
Then
shamefull
silthynesse
shewed
it selfe
,
before
that
time
vnknowen
,
by
the
ougly
sight
and
monstruous
aspect
whereof
,
our
first
partes
being
dismayed
,
shrowded
themselues
in
darcke
woodes
,
and
couered
those
partes
with
leaues
of
trees
,
which
they
felt
to
be
most
striuing
agaynst
reason
and
vnderstanding
.
Nothing
was
done
in
those
dayes
for
a
great
season
by
due
order
of
reason
and
discipline
,
but
all
matters
were
executed
violently
whereas
frantique
and
furious
headinesse
had
the
vpper
hand
.
Then
Robberyes
were
rife
,
then
rapes
common
,
then
incest
not
accompted
of
,
then
murthers
infinite
.
Then
those
,
who
in
force
and
sturdines
past
other
,
tooke
it
no
offence
at
their
pleasure
to
afflict
&
punish
the
weaker
sort
.
In
this
great
darknes
,
in
this
common
miserye
,
in
this
vniuersall
woefulnes
,
there
appeared
a
man
,
who
through
his
cleane
and
vnspotted
handes
,
his
cleare
&
pityfull
eyes
,
his
streight
and
vpright
minde
,
drewe
many
extremely
handled
,
to
his
reuerence
,
loue
,
and
honor
.
Whome
when
they
noted
,
not
onely
to
absteine
himselfe
from
villany
,
but
bend
to
Caytiues
and
Murtherers
a
sterne
and
irefull
countenaunce
,
and
take
commiseration
of
the
afflicted
:
then
these
wretched
wormes
crawled
vnto
him
,
making
a
scritch
&
woefull
cry
.
Of
whose
sutes
and
lamentable
complayntes
,
when
he
had
taken
compassion
,
and
sought
by
witt
and
pollicie
to
ayde
and
assist
,
became
vnto
them
at
length
,
a
lanterne
of
Justice
,
a
mirrour
of
mildnes
and
courtesie
.
This
supporter
of
right
,
when
he
had
taken
on
him
the
charge
of
those
s●lye
soules
miserably
,
and
supplyantly
yealding
themselues
to
his
order
and
direction
:
and
declared
vnto
them
the
earnest
desier
he
had
to
take
away
all
iniurious
inuasions
,
and
to
represse
violent
murthers
,
and
valiantly
to
reuenge
wrongfull
oppressions
,
and
to
linke
vnder
lyke
lawes
,
both
the
mighty
men
and
simpler
sorte
:
it
came
to
passe
,
that
as
many
as
tendered
their
peculiar
libertye
,
and
sought
their
owne
securitye
and
quietnes
,
supposed
him
to
be
the
defence
and
bulwarke
of
their
safe
and
prosperous
estate
,
whose
fame
most
florished
for
iustice
and
equitye
.
Behold
here
(
my
good
friend
)
the
fountayne
and
head
spring
,
from
whence
hath
flowed
the
power
and
authoritye
of
kinges
,
the
preheminence
,
and
prerogatiue
of
princely
gouernment
.
Herehence
soueraigntye
,
and
the
cause
of
all
renowne
and
glory
was
deriued

I
perceaue
by
your
discourse
,
that
the
originall
,
from
whence
hath
issued
this
high
and
stately
gouernement
of
Kinges
,
is
worthy
all
reuerence
,
honor

and
obedience
:
and
that
there
is
no
one
stock
more
auncient
,
or
more
excellent
,
then
the
Petegree
of
Princes
,
which
through
their
owne
vertue
and
valiantnes
abandoned
all
barbarous
crueltye

reducing
the
people
to
good
order

ciuilitye

You
see
therefore
manifestly
how
Principalitye
grewe
first
,
and
that
equitye
and
puissance
were
the
rootes
and
raysers
of
royaltie
,
and
that
no
king
can
holde
long
his
scepter
sure
,
if
his
minde
become
base
through
vniustice
and
dastardly
feare

Doe
these
two
vertues

There

other
twoe
most

Blandy
The
excellencie
therefore
of
iustice
,
stands
of
force
,
and
vertue
:
the
vertue
of
iustice
resteth
in
the
measure
of
thinges
ordered
,
according
to
reasons
prescription
,
which
teacheth
that
all
men
should
beare
the
lyke
affection
to
other
,
as
they
would
be
affected
of
other
.
The
force
of
iustice
is
to
make
of
many
,
one
,
to
vnite
and
knit
many
partes
in
one
:
which
euidently
may
appeare
,
if
we
call
to
minde
that
in
the
beginning
it
did
so
greatly
excite
and
stirre
vp
mens
mindes
,
that
for
her
loue
they
surrendered
their
goods
and
possessions
into
the
handes
of
one
especiall
man
,
in
whose
amiable
face
this
vertue
did
through
flashing
flames
shewe
forth
her
cleare
light
of
glory
.
I
reade
of
Numa
Pompilius
a
Romaine
of
meane
estate
,
who
by
vpright
dealing
,
and
supporting
of
Justice
,
was
thought
and
proclaymed
by
the
whole
consent
of
the
Romaines
,
worthely
to
succéede
Romulus
in
the
state
of
Royall
Maiestye
.
What
néedeth
me
here
to
speake
of
Licurgus
,
Draco
,
and
Solon
,
that
I
omit
in
meane
while
to
make
mention
of
Mercurie
,
Phoroneus
,
Pittacus
of
Millen
,
and
diuers
other
,
who
by
iustice
haue
bene
aduaunced
to
great
honor
,
and
haue
thereby
purchased
to
their
posteritye
,
perpetuall
fame
and
memorye
.
Therefore
,
to
perswade
our selues
that
no
one
vertue
deserueth
the
lyke
preheminence
,
eyther
is
alyke
to
be
honored
,
it
is
hereby
to
be
séene
,
that
each
kinde
of
vertue
being
voyde
of
Justice
,
hath
lost
his
honor
and
estimation
,
whereas
Iustice
alone
secluded
from
other
vertues
,
retayneth
still
his
especiall
grace
&
dignitie
.
Whereby
it
is
euident
and
playne
,
that
there
is
no
way
more
cercayne
then
this
,
to
enlarge
our
honor
,
no
way
more
readilye
to
commend
to

our
fame
and

Gate
.
I
rest
satisfied
with
your
not
so
short
as
swéete
discourse
.
It
remaineth
that
you
speake
of
fortitude
.
Blandy
.
Fortitude
resteth
in
an
inuincible
minde
,
attempting
for
the
loue
of
some
excellent
thing
,
great
,
difficult
,
and
daungerous
actions
.
Which
high
and
lofty
courage
hath
bene
in
all
ages
worthely
magnified
.
For
it
is
a
matter
of
no
small
importance
,
so
litle
to
esteeme
of
lyfe
,
(
which
we
all
in
generall
deeme
to
be
sweete
)
as
to
bestow
it
willingly
,
and
cherefully
for
the
safegard
and
preseruation
of
a
fewe
,
and
to
refuse
and
feare
for
the
wealth
of
our
Countrie
no
daunger
and
terror
of
the
enemy
.
The
recordes
and
ordinaunces
of
antiquitye
,
doe
playnely
and
manifestly
shewe
,
that
there
hath
bene
no
glorye
so
great
,
no
renowme
so
honorable
in
any
well
gouerned
Commonwealth
,
as
that
which
hath
bene
attributed
to
valiantnes
and
fortitude
.
On
the
other
side
there
were
for
Cowards
euen
by
very
good
lawes
,
bitter
tauntes
and
reproches
,
most
iustly
appoynted
.
There
was
in
olde
tyme
among
the
Macedonians
a
lawe
ordeyned
,
that
he
who
had
not
in
fight
of
battaile
ouercome
one
,
should
in
the
sight
of
all
men
be
trust
vp
with
an
halter
.
Therefore
,
most
wisely
was
it
thought
of
Solon
greatly
honored
among
the
Grecians
for
his
deepe
iudgement
,
that
the
securitye
and
preseruation
of
a
Commonwealth
,
did
consist
in
preferment
,
&
punishment
.
For
by
this
,
wicked
and
desperate
persons
are
restrained
&
cut
of
,
by
the
other
,
noble
natures
&
florishing
witts
are
vehemently
styred
vp
to
the
embracing
of
vertue
&
honestye
.
It
hath
bene
therefore
by
deuine
prouidence
established
of
our
forefathers
,
that
in
what
kinde
of
men
soeuer
this
vertue
eminently
appeared
,
the
same
should
be
with
many
worthye
and
noble
ensignes
,
and
titles
honored
.
And
that
I
speake
something
of
the
Romaines
,
Can
any
man
be
able
to
recite
so
many
Images
of
men
of
Armes
,
So
many
garlands
either
geuen
to
them
that
scaled
the
walles
,
or
first
entred
their
enemies
Tents
,
or
to
them
that
by
maine
force
saued
the
life
of
any
one
Citizen
,
or
to
them
,
that
victoriously
triumphed
ouer
their
enemies
?
Is
any
man
able
to
recompt
so
many
ensignes
of
vertue
,
so
many
pryses
of
Prayes
,
as
to
prowes
and
puissaunce
were
by
the
Romaine
lawes
assigned
?
Gate

It
is
not
therefore
to
be
maruailed
at
,
that

Blan.
In
that
people
,
this
is
also
greatly
to
be
noted
,
that
not
onely
noble
men
were
wonderfully
inflamed
with
the
loue
of
glorye
,
but
very
many
of
the
common
people
.
And
that
I
may
,
of
a
great
and
infinite
number
,
call
a
fewe
to
memory
,
the
two
Decii
by
race
and
byrth
no
gentlemen
,
for
theyr
rare
and
singular
fortitude
,
aspired
in
the
common
wealth
to
the
highest
degrée
of
honor
and
dignity
:
and
in
the
end
,
in
theyr
countryes
quarrell
,
consecrates
themselues
as
valiaunt
and
vowed
vessels
,
to
glory
and
immortality
.
Lucius
Marcius
,
euen
he
,
which
in
Spayne
recouered
the
Romaine
Empyre
,
therefore
shrunken
and
fallen
downe
to
the
ground
,
was
borne
of
simple
and
poore
parentage
,
yet
through
puissaunce
obtayned
in
his
countrey
great
honor
&
a
principal
dignity
.
What
should
I
recite
Marcus
Porcius
Cato
,
a
man
much
commended
for
his
wisedome
and
pollicy
?
To
what
end
should
I
speak
of
Marcus
Marcellus
who
first
gaue
Haniball
the
ouerthrow
,
&
shewed
playnly
,
that
the
way
to
ouercome
,
was
by
prowes
and
valiantnes
.
Agayne
why
shoulde
I
omitt
Marius
that
worthye
wight
and
a
thowsand
moe
being
no
gentlemen
borne
,
which
notwithstanding
through
theyr
passing
skill
and
experience
in
feates
of
Armes
were
aduaunced
to
honour
,
and
promoted
to
high
estate
,
leauing
to
posterity
fame
and
immortalitye
.
Herehence
the
armes
and
cognizaunces
of
honor
and
noblenesse
,
which
euen
in
these
our
dayes
are
borne
,
and
had
right
worthely
in
estimation
,
did
fetch
their
originall
and
first
beginning
.
For
when
any
man
had
in
battayle
shewed
some
notable
poynt
of
a
good
valiaunt
souldiar
,
he
was
by
the
Generall
made
a
gentleman
,
&
had
some
badge
or
token
therof
assigned
vnto
him
,
wherby
his
bloud
might
be
ennobled
,
through
the
prayse
and
glorye
whereof
his
ofspring
might
be
in
like
maner
pricked
with
the
desire
of
fame
and
commendation
.
Therefore
some
haue
in
their
scochins
,
Castles
engrauen
,
geuing
forth
therby
the
strong
holdes
,
fortes
,
straightes
,
sconces
and
passages
,
that
were
by
them
in
warre
wonne
and
vanquished
:
other
some
,
ringes
or
bendes
,
or
any
other
thing
for
the
number
of
enemies
which
they
had
in
some
doubtfull
and
daungerous
battaile
subdued
.
Other
haue
in
theyr
schochins
starres
,
signifiyng
percase
that
they
brought
in
some
darcke
and
cloudy
calamity
,
no
small
light
and
comfort
to
the
miserable
afflicted
state
of
their
natiue
countrye
,
by
this
it
is
playne
that
fortitude
openeth
the
way
to
worshippe
,
and
bringeth
vs
most
redyly
to
the
beholding
the
excéeding
bright
and
cleare
nature
of
true
nobility
.
And
to
the
end
you
may
vndoubtedly
discerne
the
true
value
of
a
man
,
and
know
assuredly
where
fortitude
is
,
where
puissaunce
,
where
that
high
and
lofty
minde
dwelleth
:
the
calamities
which
doe
equally
assault
aswell
the
noble
as
base-borne
,
some
with
griefe
,
some
with
feare
some
with
terror
,
some
with
trembling
,
may
yelde
vs
a
plaine
and
vndeceiueable
marck
and
testimony
.
For
where
puissaunce
and
fortitude
is
,
there
is
ingraffed
a
minde
not
to
faynt
for
any
trouble
,
not
to
dispayre
in
any
perrill
,
not
to
languish
in
any
woe
and
greeuous
misery
,
yea
if
Fortune
frowne
,
if
daunger
&
death
ensue
,
a
worthy
mind
will
not
be
forgetfull
.
So
that
nothing
may
alike
shew
a
gentle
and
valiant
hart
,
them
not
to
be
vanquished
:
which
is
seene
in
sorrow
,
tried
in
trouble
,
proued
in
persecution
.
Gate
.
Nothing
might
haue
bene
sayd
(
in
my
simple
opinion
)
more
truely
and
with
better
proofe
.
For
euen
as
contented
sufferaunce
in
the
extremest
and
bitterest
cruelty
,
proueth
the
mind
to
be
high
and
diuine
,
as
stedfastnes
in
a
state
neuer
so
vnstayed
&
tottering
,
argueth
an
vnqonquered
value
:
So
truely
,
timerousnes
interror
and
daunger
bewrayeth
the
faynt
and
feeblenesse
of
a
base
and
cowardly
nature
.
Blandy

No
maruaile
is
it
therefore
if
they
which
haue
not
bene
dismayd
at
the
terror
of
death
,
they
which
haue
with
most
valiaunt
courage
suffered
bodely
tormentes
,
they
that
would
for
no
manner
of
griefe
be
disturbed
in
minde
,
and
do
any
thing
to
stayne
their
honour
and
estimation
,
haue
bene
alwayes
had

great
admiration

The
prayse
and
glory
whereof
,
springeth
from
the
contempt
of

.
Cate.
Is
the
contempt
of
death
in
all
men
equally
honored
?
Or
may
all
those
alike
be
worthely
commended
,
that
would
willingly
dye
?
Blandy
.
You
haue
(
I
assure
you
)
moued
me
a
question
right
profitable
,
and
not
vnfitt
to
be
handled
in
this
place
.
For
many
,
yea
to
to
many
there
are
,
who
being
throwne
down
from
an
happy
and
pleasing
state
of
life
,
do
abide
that
hardnesse
,
&
féele
in
theyr
flesh
and
natures
such
vnaccustomed
bitternesse
,
that
they
haue
receiued
into
theyr
hartes
a
voluntary
disposition
to
depart
from
life
,
and
therefore
in
an
extreme
desperation
of
chaunge
,
and
better
fortune
,
doe
themselues
to
death
:
who
notwithstanding
are
of
many
through
ignoraunce
vnderseruedly
commended
,
whereby
you
may
note
,
that
the
strength
and
force
of
true
vertue
is
such
,
that
the
counterfayte
shewe
thereof
stirreth
vp
some
,
both
to
admire
and
commend
a
lott
,
rather
lamentable
,
then
laudable
.
For
I
condemne
them
vtterly
guilty
of
dastardly
cowardise
,
for
that
they
hasten
theyr
dying
day
,
not
at
all
shewing
thereby
theyr
constancy
,
but
rather
a
minde
vanquished
and
subdued
through
a
small
tast
of
vading
misery
.
Other
there
are
which
offer
themselues
to
daunger
,
not
with
iudgement
,
and
prudent
aduise
,
but
being
pricked
forward
with
a
certayne
rage
or
fury
of
minde
conceiued
either
of
hatred
,
enuy
,
or
some
other
earnest
&
hoat
affection
.
Some
other
there
are
,
that
aduenture
a
daungerous
attempt
,
being
moued
thereunto
with
a
very
earnest
hope
,
or
with
a
desperate
feare
of
their
present
estate
.
Such
,
except
t●●y
had
some
certayne
hope
to
escape
daunger
,
or
gayne
some
priuate
commodity
,
or
els
were
past
all
hope
of
escaping
,
would
be
neuer
perswaded
to
come
to
daunger
)
therefore
sith
they
misse
the
true
&
good
purpose
of
Action
,
they
may
also
want
the
honour
due
vnto
so
great
and
noble
a
vertue
.
Gate
.
What
is
the
purpose
or
marke
whereunto
this
action
,
this
contempt
of
death
should
be
directed
,
which
also
winneth
vs
that
high
renowne
and
glory
?
Blandy
.
The
marke
and
end
which
this
contempt
of
death
ought
to
respect
and
looke
vpon
,
is
the
glory
of
Christ
,
the
honor
of
our
Prince
,
the
cause
of
our
countrye
,
the
defence
of
our
name
and
honesty
.
They
that
venture
theyr
liues
for
these
poyntes
,
are
appoynted
in
the
right
course
and
race
of
true
honor
:
for
that
they
obtayne
the
true
and
vndoubted
end
of
vertue
:
wherefore
all
other
that
purpose
vnto
themselues
riches
fame
and
glory
depending
on
the
consent
of
the
vnlettered
multitude
,
and
respect
not
the
true
soueraygne
good
,
they
are
rather
to
be
accompted
men
puft

with
vayne
desire

,
then
valiant
and
couragious
men

Gate

You
haue
(
me
thinkes
)
not
vnlearnedly
discoursed
of
fortitude
:
wherein
I
cannot
easelie
comprehende
,
whether
my
profitt
or
pleasure
hath
bene
greater
,
both
which
your
penn
yeldeth
to
all
those
that
happelie
peruse
your
labours
.
It
remayneth
that
you
speake
of
Temperance
and
Prudence
,
which
displayed
,
the
maiesty
of
a
King
will
appeare
more
liuely
and
apparant
.
Wherefore
say
on
I
most
hartely
pray
you
.
Blandy
.
Temperance
standeth
in
the
true
and
iust
moderation
of
our
actions
,
comming
from
a
kinde
of
propention
,
or
inclynation
,
which
is
most
deepely
by
nature
in
vs
imprinted
.
And
that
you
may
more
plainely
conceiue
the
property
,
and
worthynesse
of
this
vertue
,
thus
when
we
talke
of
Temperance
we
vse
to
dispute
.
There
is
in
vs
a
kinde
of
power
,
inferior
to
reason
,
yet
her
next
handmayd
,
wherby
we
féele
in
vs
a
prones
to
be
this
or
that
way
affected
.
The
affection
therefore
that
is
ingendred
by
this
faculty
,
is
such
,
that
as
it
is
most
fitt
,
good
and
necessary
,
so
if
it
watcheth
not
the
direction
,
and
as
it
were
the
finger
poynt
of
reason
,
it
is
intollerable
&
bréedeth
oft
our
woe
and
confusion
.
For
by
nature
we
waxe
hoate
,
angry
,
and
cholericke
,
naturally
we
loue
,
naturally
we
loth
,
we
pitty
,
we
despise
,
we
feare
,
we
frowne
,
we
desire
,
we
disdayne
,
we
are
maruailously
by
kinde
stirred
vp
with
ioy
and
pleasure
.
Which
affections
before
they
become
actions
,
least
they
should
excéede
theyr
iust
due
and
proportion
,
and
turne
thereby
to
our
annoy
,
are
to
be
tempered
and
moderated
by
reasons
rule
and
discipline
.
This
man
therefore
that
can
thus
gouerne
,
and
moderate
the
motions
of
the
minde
,
hath
wonne
the
loue
of
Temperaunce
,
and
shall
be
honored
of
all
men
as
one
indued
with
a
rare
,
and
singular
vertue
.
The
affections
therefore
of
the
minde
,
as
ire
,
loue
,
pleasure
,
and
the
solace
it selfe
of
lyfe
,
with
many
other
are
not
(
as
ignoraunt
men
suppose
)
to
be
raced
out
,
but
rather
with
the
light
and
flame
of
reason
in
the
best
and
highest
mindes
enkindled
.
Lyke
as
in
the
sea
,
such
quiet
&
calme
weather
is
not
to
be
desired
,
wherewith
the
floud
may
not
be
with
the
least
puffe
of
winde
troubled
,
but
rather
such
open
aire
wherby
the
shipp
at
the
stearne
may
sulck
the
Seas
with
a
mery
gale
and
prosperous
winde
:
euen
so
there
is
to
be
desired
in
the
minde
a
puffe
,
&
as
it
were
,
a
blowing
billow
to
hoyse
vpp
the
sayles
of
the
minde
,
whereby
the
course
thereof
may
be
made
more
swift
&
certayne
.
And
euen
as
a
skilfull
&
couragious
horseman
doth
not
alway
delight
in
a
soft
and
gentle
pace
,
but
sometymes
geueth
his
horse
the
spurre
,
to
the
end
his
stede
should
moue
more
liuely
.
So
by
reason
,
sometymes
the
affections
of
the
minde
are
styrred
,
and
prycked
forward
,
that
we
might
more
cherefully
dispatch
our
busines
.
You
know
by
these
,
what
Temperaunce
is
,
wherein
it
doth
consist
,
and
by
what
meanes
it
is
attayned
.
Gate
.
My
minde
hitherto
hath
his
content
,
striue
and
styrre
at
all
to
the
contrary
I
may
not
,
except
you
be
silent
:
wherefore
say
on
,
so
shall
you
bring
me
a
swéete
rest
.
Blandy
.
It
foloweth
that
I
shew
you
my
opinion
of
prudence
:
which
vertue
is
the
very
ornament
and
garland
of
the
other
two
,
without
which
,
they
before
spoken
of
,
can
no
wise
florish
,
and
geue
out
kindely
their
cleare
and
bright
lights
of
glorye
,
the
want
whereof
,
maymeth
the
minde
of
a
king
.
Prudence
therefore
resteth
in
the
knowledge
of
ciuile
gouernement
:
which
learneth
vs
not
onely
to
gouerne
wisely
our selues
,
and
families
,
but
to
rule
poletikly
great
Cittyes
and
Commonwealthes
.
And
that
you
may
fully
vnderstand
,
by
what
meanes
this
vertue
is
attayned
,
it
is
right
necessary
,
&
expedient
you
call
to
minde
,
how
men
liuing
as
Barbarians
,
in
woods
and
desolate
places
were
brought
to
order
,
and
at
length
perswaded
to
lyue
vnder
one
lawe
embracing
mutuall
loue
,
&
all
kinde
of
humanitye
.
Wherefore
,
if
the
swéetenes
and
excellencie
of
eloquence
in
antiquitie
so
much
preuailed
,
that
men
were
with
the
mellodious
harmonye
thereof
,
drawen
from
barbarousnes
,
to
ciuilytye
:
If
puissance
in
the
beginning
repelled
iniuries
,
and
became
thereby
the
roote
of
royaltye
:
if
good
and
profitable
lawes
stayed
most
fastly
,
men
thus
reclaymed
and
brought
to
the
quiet
and
happy
home
of
peace
and
rest
:
I
holde
the
onely
redye
and
perfect
stepp
to
trace
out
prudence
,
by
the
loue
of
Eloquence
,
by
the
honor
of
chiualrye
,
by
the
knowledge
and
studye
of
the
ciuile
lawes
.
For
these
sciences
are
right
worthely
reckoned
among
those
which
are
the
most
chiefe
&
highest
:
for
that
they
haue
bene
the
founders
of
Citties
,
the
safegard
of
common
societye
,
the
principall
stay
and
rocke
of
all
noble
and
florishing
Commonwealthes
.
To
be
prudent
in
a
priuate
man
,
is
right
worthely
commended
:
in
a
king
,
in
a
prince
,
and
in
the
place
of
Maiestye
it
geueth
out
such
comfortable
beames
,
that
thousands
and
infinite
numbers
thereby
,
receaue
reliefe
:
For
her
propertye
is
,
to
be
diligent
,
and
busie
for
the
weale
of
all
.
They
are
therefore
in
no
wise
to
be
déemed
prudent
,
which
séeke
the
aduauncement
of
themselues
,
and
the
preferment
of
any
one
priuate
Familye
.
Wherefore
,
if
you
to
your
expectation
,
and
our
wished
and
laboured
intent
,
purpose
to
behold
the
high
and
hautye
hue
of
the
Maiestye
of
a
king
,
marke
and
imprint
déepely
in
your
minde
,
what
briefly
insueth
.
A
king
therefore
,
as
it
appeareth
by
the
discourse
precedent
,
came
of
no
small
beginning
,
deriued
,
and
springing
of
no
other
roote
,
then
an
honorable
and
royall
hart
,
garnisht
,
and
deckt
with
all
worthye
,
and
noble
vertues
So
that
this
king
which
we
speake
of
,
and
haue
through
the
viewe
,
and
consent
of
many
famous
and
worthy
writers
,
chosen
to
be
chiefe
in
this
our
Commonwealth
,
is
such
a
one
,
whose
Scepter
iustice
raysed
,
whose
soueraigntye
fortitude
defendeth
,
whose
preheminence
prudence
ruleth
,
whose
prerogatiue
temperaunce
keepeth
in
most
safe
and
quiet
estate
.
Which
chiefe
and
principall
vertues
,
reste
alwayes
in
perpetuall
mouing
,
the
motion
whereof
bringeth
forth
aboundantly
braunches
or
rather
(

buddes

As
you
in
our
March
discoursed
in
this
manner
,
and
came
to
the
lyke
issue
,
you
haue
hitherto
bent
the
drift
of
your
vnderstanding
,
I
with
many
moe
(
if
you
remember
well
)
caused
you
to
cutt
of
the
rest
(
speaking
to
our
simple
opinions
sufficiently
)
you
would
haue
sayd
,
of
the
Maiestye
of
a
king
.
Minding
you
of
a
Queene
by
distance
of
place
then
farre
of
,
yet
by
nature
neare
,
by
due
comparison
of
whose
excellent
cleare
brightnes
,
either
that
haue
bene
in
any
monument
of
Antiquitye
honorably
spoken
of
,
or
liue
at
this
present
Christened
in
magnificence
,
merited
most
high
renoume
:
that
when
her
excellencye
was
named
,
all
our
powers
and
spirites
were
in
a
manner
surprised
with
ioy
and
pleasure
,
beholding
through
your
speach
as
in
a
glasse
,
her
great
guiftes
,
rare
vertues
,
and
noble
gouernement
.
At
what
tyme
all
wee
(
most
lowly
prostrating
our selues
)
with
one
voyce
assented
,
that
Q.
Elizabeth
our
most
high
&
noble
maistres
,
should
suffice
,
not
onely
vs
her
true
,
faythfull
,
&
naturall
subiects
,
but
all
other
peeres
,
of
what
kinde
of
people
they
sprang
of
,
of
what
noble
lyne
&
parentage
they
descended
,
to
behold
in
her
excellencie
,
the
true
and
absolute
Maiestye
of
a
Prince

wishing
then
most
earnestly
,
that
one
among

a
penn
of
that
propertie
,
that
either
he
could
at

write
all

or
that
all

Then
not

Europe
which
at
this

ringes
of
her
glory

all
the
world

,
should
have
knowledge

I
can
not

what
ioy

we
tooke

that
honorable
report
,
wherein
as
we
then
rested
in
the
cogitation
of
so
rare
and
royall
an
example
,
so
I
thinke
it
fitt
to
finishe
our
speach
of
this
first
and
chiefe
piller
of
our
Common-wealth
:
directing
all
other
that
would
vnderstand
more
throughly
,
of
the
perfection
of
a
Prince
which
nothing
sheweth
forth
more
liuely

beholding
our
most
gracious
Queene

whose
fayth
in
Christian
Religion
,
whose
knowledge
in
learning
,
whose
pollicie
in
gouerning
,
whose
clemency
in
pardoning

whose
bountifulnesse
in
preferring
,
whose
pittifull
and
tender
commiseration
of
the
poorest
wretch
that
liueth
within
her
dominions
,
doth
not
without
great
cause
establish
her
louing
subiects
in
honoring
her
,
powring
out
dayly
most
feruently
their
prayers
for
her
safe
,
long
,
and
prosperous
gouernement

God
of

keepe
her

Gate
.
It
séemeth
now
therefore
right
good
,
you
speake
of
the
Justicer
.
Blandy
.
I
will
most
gladly
doe
my
indeuour
.
The
two
limmes
that
chiefly
and
aboue
other
,
strengthen
the
body
of
Princely
maiestie
,
is
the
Iusticer
and
souldiar
.
The
charge
of
which
is
great
,
and
honor
acquired
thereby
right
worthely
had
in
estimation
:
The
one
executeth
the
will
of
his
Soueraigne
vpon
the
offender
at
home
,
and
in
the
Citty
,
the
other
wreaketh
the
indignation
of
the
Prince
in
the
field
,
vpon
the
body
of
his
enemy
.
The
one
is
chosen
for
his
prudence
,
the
other
for
his
prudence
,
and
puissaunce
,
the
one
for
his
rightfull
dealing
,
the
other
for
his
vpright
minde
,
exposing
his
body
to
all
perrils
,
to
all
pouerty
,
to
all
lacke
.
The
one
with
his
toung
kéepeth
peace
,
the
other
with
the
sword
restoreth
peace
in
daunger
,
&
clean
lost
to
his
former
state
.
So
that
whereas
both
shoot
at
one
principall
marcke
(
for
the
good
and
perfect
souldiar
hath
two
marckes
and
endes
of
his
action
,
the
one
victory
,
wherein
he
winneth
honor
,
more
priuate
:
the
other
peace
,
wherby
he
returneth
triumphantly
to
receiue
of
his
Prince
and
countrey
the
titles
due
to
so
great
desart
,
which
maketh
his
former
honor
which
I
before
named
more
priuate
,
more
publicke
,
more
knowen
,
more
ample
and
glorious
)
yet
sith
the
meanes
differ
not
a
litle
,
whereby
the
iusticer
is
promoted
to
his
degree
,
and
the
souldiar
aduaunced
to
an
honorable
calling
in
the
commonwealth
I
cannot
finde
in
my
poore
and
simple
consideration
,
but
that
the
souldiar
in
his
proper
right
may
challenge
a
kinde
of
superiority
of
the
Lawyer
.
Gate
.
I
cannot
gaynesay
your
position
,
which
is
that
the
souldiar
and
iusticer
prefixe
before
theyr
mindes
one
end
and
purpose
,
so
that
I
am
induced
to
thinke
clearely
,
that
whereas
the
meanes
are
differing
,
oddes
to
be
therefore
betwixt
theyr
both
desertes
.
For
what
can
the
iusticer
hassard
in
peace
,
where
the
enemy
is
repelled
,
where
force
is
subdued
,
where
fury
is
put
to
flight
?
his
treasure
,
wealth
,
wife
and
children
,
are
by
the
lawes
,
as
with
a
sure
and
strong
forte
)
defended
his
name
and
honesty
,
a
number
of
lately
richt
clients
(
with
earnest
and
difficult
suites
subdued
)
garde
,
his
health
phisicke
preserueth
.
On
the
other
side
the
souldiar
so
litle
estemeth
safety
at
home
,
content
in
his
mate
,
pleasure
in
his
children
,
solace
with
his
friendes
,
that
where
his
fidelity
to
his
Prince
,
loue
to
his
countrey
,
honor
of
his
vpright
minde
,
shall
be
brought
in
question
,
and
stand
to
be
tryed
,
he
will
not
onely
most
willingly
forgoe
all
these
,
but
cherefully
vow
and
consecrate
his
lustye
limmes
to
tiresome
labours
,
his
body
richly
clad
,
to
pinching
nakednesse
,
his
feeding
nature
,
to
staruing
hunger
,
his
fresh
and
liuely
lookes
to
lothsome
languishing
:
his
sinowes
to
be
seuered
,
his
ioyntes
to
be
cut
in
two
,
his
bloud
to
be
spilt
,
his
carcase
to
be
stamp
to
dyrt
&
myre
.
Where
fore
I
sée
no
reason
but
that
the
souldiar
may
in
the
common
wealth
be
preferred
before
the
iusticer
.
Blandy
.
Albeit
it
be
a
matter
very
difficult
to
iudge
,
whether
should
be
preferred
before
other
,
sith
the
vertue
in
a
iusticer
and
souldiar
are
not
of
one
kinde
(
although
they
pricke
at
one
marcke
)
and
that
it
farre
passeth
the
reach
of
either
of
our
capacityes
to
waygh
their
priuate
vertues
so
differing
,
in
equall
ballances
,
leauing
therefore
the
controuersie
to
be
decided
by
men
of
déeper
indgement
,
and
ryper
experience
,
notwithstanding
I
thinke
it
most
fitt
the
iusticer
not
vnworthyly
(
if
his
calling
and
condition
of
life
be
well
examined
)
to
haue
the
second
place
in
this
our
commonwealth
.
For
where
you
reason
thus
,
that
the
souldiar
doth
hassard
more
then
the
iusticer
,
fearing
no
force
,
dreading
no
daunger
,
pricing
no
perrill
whereby
his
honourable
minde
should
be
more
séene
and
appear
(
with
lofty
and
high
courage
I
cannot
with
words
sufficiently
commend
)
yet
your
reason
is
inféebled
by
this
,
that
it
is
agaynst
the
nature
of
peace
,
and
therefore
much
agaynst
the
duety
,
order
and
course
of
good
magistrates
,
to
suffer
(
as
much
as
in
them
lyeth
)
any
such
iniurious
action
to
be
committed
,
whereby
the
stomake
of
the
least
man
should
be
so
tried
and
proued
.
The
actions
are
not
of
one
kinde
,
for
that
they
take
not
the
like
beginning
,
although
they
haue
the
like
end
and
direction
.
Agayne
a
reason
springing
of
one
singuler
Action
,
to
conclude
in
generality
,
a
better
or
worse
hath
small
,
or
rather
no
force
at
all
.
Wherefore
sithe
you
made
mention
of
fortitude
and
magnanimity
as
though
the
souldiar
onely
,
and
not
the
iusticer
did
regarde
and
embrace
so
greate
and
noble
a
vertue
,
and
might
be
condemned
of
dastardly
cowardise
,
I
haue
thought
it
good
and
expedient
to
cleare
so
high
and
estimable
a
calling
,
of
so
base
&
foule
a
crime
.
First
therefore
,
whereas
it
is
most
manifest
that
the
minde
of
the
iusticer
and
souldiar
is
occupyed
about
one
thing
,
that
is
,
peace
and
tranquility
,
the
one
to
kéepe
it
alwayes
florishing
,
the
other
to
restore
it
decaying
and
in
daunger
,
here
it
would
be
demaunded
,
whither
the
honour
of
the
iusticer
is
not
as
great
and
nobler
in
preseruing
common
quiet
,
or
the
worthinesse
of
the
souldiar
to
be
more
extolled
in
purchasing
&
redéeming
peace
pressed
and
throwen
downe
to
the
ground
.
Wherefore
(
that
this
doubt
and
controuersy
may
more
clearely
appeare
)
shew
(
I
hartely
pray
you
)
wherein
honor
resteth
and
by
what
meanes
it
is
atchiued
.
Gate
.
Honor
dependeth
of
the
iust
measure
of
value
showen
in
the
defence
of
a
good
cause
.
Blandy
.
How
then
may
value
be
knowen
?
Gate
.
Value
springeth
of
contention
,
contention
of
two
mindes
contraryly
affected
.
So
that
where
there
is
an
assault
,
and
defence
,
the
defender
is
to
winne
honor
by
hys
value
,
which
perswadeth
him
during
life
to
vpholde
and
mainetaine
the
right
of
the
cause
.
Blandy
.
If
so
,
the
value
of
the
iusticer
will
anone
more
eminently
and
clearely
shine
then
the
vertue
of
the
souldiar
.
Who
doth
not
holde
it
a
harder
matter
to
kill
a
secret
,
them
an
open
enemy
?
The
iusticer
and
souldiar
carry
and
vpholde
both
an
honorable
minde
.
The
souldiar
standes
readely
furnisht
to
fight
in
the
fielde
,
where
he
may
looke
round
about
:
The
iusticer
is
inclosed
in
a
little
cell
or
studdy
,
where
he
may
be
secretly
slayne
.
The
souldiar
hath
warning
that
the
enemy
approacheth
by
the
neighing
of
barbd
horses
,
ratling
of
men
of
armes
,
sound
of
trumpet
,
Phife
and
drumme
:
The
iusticer
hath
foreknowledge
also
,
but
by
a
more
séely
and
féeble
noyse
,
as
a
dores
créeke
,
knacke
,
and
whisper
.
The
souldiar
séeth
men
glittering
as
white
as
siluer
:
The
iusticer
séeth
one
man
offering
enbost
workemanshipp
like
fire
and
Angels
of
golde
.
The
souldiar
fighteth
commonly
man
to
man
.
The
iusticer
is
inuaded
sometimes
at
once
with
no
lesse
than
twenty
men
.
And
wheras
the
iusticer
and
souldiar
(
sith
we
all
professe
Christ
)
directe
their
Actions
to
eternity
,
to
euerlastingnesse
,
to
that
blessed
and
endlesse
felicity
,
and
that
the
iusticer
is
assaulted
although
after
an
other
manner
,
as
egerly
of
his
enemy
in
the
chamber
,
as
the
souldiar
prouoked
to
fight
in
the
fielde
with
his
deadly
foe
(
I
speake
not
here
of
a
bodely
death
,
but
of
a
death
whereunto
bodye
and
soule
through
offence
is
subiect
)
and
that
peace
is
to
be
preferred
before
warres
,
for
which
we
dayly
pray
,
the
officers
and
magistrates
in
peace
,
and
therefore
the
iusticer
their
chiefe
and
principall
,
shall
haue
the
second
place
in
this
commonwealth
:
as
one
that
will
not
harken
to
corruption
,
much
lesse
suffer
his
minde
to
be
abused
and
defiled
with
bribery
.
For
woe
,
woe
,
may
that
commonwealth
crie
,
if
they
which
sitt
in
iudgement
will
be
by
any
maner
of
entisementes
allured
and
wonne
from
the
swéete
and
sacred
countenaunce
of
iustice
.
In
consideration
whereof
,
this
realme
of
England
is
in
my
opinion
in
this
poynt
thrise
happy
and
blessed
.
Gate

Verely
I
thinke
no
lesse
,
if
the
Lawyers
of
this
Realme
for
the
most
part
with
theyr
companies
,
did
as
well
imitate
the
vertue
and
sincere
dealing
,
as
they
daylye
beholde
the
grauity
of
the
iudges
of
this
land
:
their
order
should
not
at
this
present
be
subiect
to
a
deserued
disgrace
:
such
rebuke
,
such
reproch
,
should
not
follow
those
fellowshippes
,
and
houses
of
courte
,
where
gentlemen
descended
of
noble
Parentage
,
liue
,
and
suppose
themselues
to
trace
the
steppes
of
honor
and
worshipp

Blandy

What
say
you
?
Gate
.
I
speake
not
against
the
law
,
for
without
it
no
kingdome
can
stand
.
The
good

well
minded
Lawyer
I
greatly
reuerence

The
young
Gentlemen
which
come
thither
either
to

I
highly

wishing
my selfe
as
able

perswade
them

as

tractable

The

(
with
all
lowly
duety

I

Gate

It
were

then
so
ocupied

Blandy

Is
it
possible
?
Gate

This
is
the
blowing
billow
;
you
in
your
bodye
proportioned
spake
of

which
deformeth
all

This

the

mother
of
those

which
at
their

styrre
hither

brawles

It
is
a
worlde
to

what
new

straunge

they

how

There

he
standeth

he
thinketh
gaylye

but
yet
(
as

a
counterfaite

looking

(
so
vnmanerly

O
that
Georgias
Leontinus
did
lyue
in
some
English
mans
hart
and
stomack
:
who
reprouing
the
rulers
of
Larissa
because
they
had
receaued
into
the
company
of
pleaders
any
kinde
of
people
,
was
wont
to
say
:
that
euen
as
plasterers
of
any
kynde
of
stuffe
,
would
make
Morter
,
or
any
thing
of
lyke
sort
:
So
there
were
so
conning
crafismē
in
Larissa
,
which
of
any
condition
and
kinde
of
men
would
make
a
Lawyar
.
Cicero
the
most
famous
orator
and
learned
in
the
lawes
that
euer
Rome
nourisht
(
when
they
brake
their
lists
and
lymits
&
grewe
disordered
)
nippeth
most
wisely
those
of
his
owne
order
,
in
this
manner

So
that
I
pray
God
most
hartely
,
it
fareth
not
with
vs
the
inhabitants
of
this
noble
Iland
,
as
it
did
after
the
forewarnings
and
shewes
of
these
two
(
not
so
faythfull
to
their
Countrye
,
as
inséene
in
the
state
of
their
Commonwealth
)
with
the
people
of
Larissa
and
the
Cittizens
of
Rome
.
For
not
long
after
,
these
people
and
florishing
Citties
,
fell
downe
headlong
to
the
ground
.
For
how
was
it
possible
,
that
the
state
of
those
Empires
could
long
stand
stedfast
,
when
the
chiefe
and
principall
pillers
that
should
susteyne
the
waight
and
burthen
of
so
huge
,
so
high
,
so
honorable
and
ample
a
gouernement
,
became
rotten
.
Which
ruine
and
ouerthrowe
of
the
whole
Common-wealth
appeared
then
,
not
so
much
by
decayed
houses
which
were
auncient
&
of
great
nobility
,
as
by
erecting
mannors
where
dyrt
and
dong
was
found
.
In
consideration
whereof
,
I
let
to
speake
of
the

raysed

purchased

aboundance
of

nor

nor

Blandy

Is
it
not
a
poynt
and
chiefe
poynt
(
thinke
you
)
of
great
pollicye
and
wisedome
,
to
aduaunce
our

Is
it
not
in
the
opinion
of
most
men
a
happy
thing
to
be
rich
?
doe
not
all

delight
in

and
therefore
desire
a

large

Gate

If
you
folowe
herein
the
iudgement
of
the
multitude
I
assent
.
If
you
forgett
their
blinde
and
grosse
Imaginations
,
and
cleaue
to
the
assured
and
vndeteaueable
directions
of
wise
men
,
you
shall
briefely
vnderstand
,
what
is
séemely
in
,
and
best
becommeth
a
Lawyar
.
Where
the
the
minde
is
styrred
with
a
desier
to
be
aduaunced
,
and
to
rayse
his
name
and
bloud
,
from
a
meane
to
a
higher
degrée
,
there
is
the
minde
so
vexed
with
diuersitye
,
that
at
length
it
yeldeth
to
some
great
and
greuous
extremitye
.
But
when
the
minde
is
taught
,
that
the
chiefe
and
soueraigne
good
resteth
in
an
honest
and
vertuous
lyfe
,
there
are
the
cogitations
calme
and
swéete
,
there
content
holdeth
desier
restrayned
from
any
ambitious
affection
.
This
man
that
is
thus
affected
,
séeketh
altogether
to
please
and
inrich
his
minde
,
prouideth
for
no
more
then
will
suffise
nature
,
holdeth
it
a
perilous
thing
to
be
rich
,
and
is
assuredly
perswaded
,
that
aboundance
and
flowing
of
worldly
wealth
,
rather
hindereth
then
helpeth
,
rather
plucketh
downe
then
erecteth
the
courage
and
aspiring
minde
of
a
noble
nature
.
The
Iusticer
therefore
and
Lawiar
which
is
the
right
hand
of
a
Prince
ought
(
if
he
purpose
to
kéepe
the
state
&
condition
of
his
lyfe
cleare
and
vnsteyned
)
to
lyue
in
the
contemplation
of
iustice
,
feede
and
nourish
his
minde
with
the
lone
of
vertue
:
thinking
it
a
thing
farr
vnfitt
for
his
high
calling
to
be
déemed
in
his
desiers
a
Marchaunt
,
in
his
order
and
course
of
lyfe
,
an
artificer
.
The
Souldiar
,
who
hath
the
third
place
in
this
Commonwealth
(
of
whose
lyfe
,
nature
,
and
propertye
we
purpose
presently
to
treate
of
)
yeldeth
the
desire
of
riches
to
the
Marchaunt
:
déeming
it
for
his
condition
of
lyfe
and
profession
,
a
foule
matter
to
be
addicted
to
such
trash
,
dyrt
,
and
pelfe
.
Blandy
.
Syr
,
you
haue
spoken
so
truely
of
the
lyfe
and
condition
of
a
Lawyer
,
that
I
thinke
the
good
and
better
part
of
the
professors
of
the
law
,
will
yelde
you
,
(
not
without
your
desart
)
a
good
opinion
,
so
farre
is
it
vnlikely
,
that
any
other
will
conceaue
offence
.
I
stand
now
attentiue
to
heare
your
discourse
of
a
Souldiar
,
in
which
kinde
of
lyfe
,
you
,
euen
from
your
gréene
and
tender
yeares
,
haue
bene
trayned
,
and
therefore
may
learne
me
the
more
readily
,
what
is
in
him
most
decent
and
chiefly
required
.
Gate
.
In
this
case
I
thinke
it
most
expedient
and
necessarye
,
I
sort
a
Souldiar
first
into
his
diuersitye
,
or
rather
braunches
,
which
knowen
,
you
shall
more
playnely
vnderstand
what
he
is
.
All
these
therefore
are
conteyned
within
the
name
of
a
Souldiar
.
The
Generall
,
high
Martiall
with
his
Prouostes
,
Serieant
generall
,
Serieant
of
a
regiment
,
Corownell
,
Captayne
,
Liuetenent
,
Auncient
,
Serieant
of
a
Company
,
Corporall
,
gentleman
in
a
company
or
of
the
Rounde
,
Launce
passado
:
these
are
speciall
,
the
other
that
remaine
,
priuate
or
common
Souldiars
.
The
Profession
as
well
of
the
commmon
,
as
priuate
Souldiar
is
honorable
,
which
resteth
in
the
maintenaunce
to
death
,
of
a
good
and
rightfull
cause
:
the
condition
no
lesse
paynefull
then
full
of
perill
,
the
quality
,
cleane
,
diligent
,
duetifull
,
delighting
rather
in
braue
furniture
and
glittering
armor
,
then
in
deynty
dyet
,
womanlyke
wantonnes
,
and
vayne
pleasures
.
It
is
fitt
he
be
not
onely
skilfull
in
the
weapon
he
vseth
,
but
also
in
any
other
that
his
strength
will
geue
him
to
handle
and
winne
at
his
pleasure
and
commaundement
.
It
is
also
to
be
required
he
hath
the
skill
and
qualitye
of
Swimming
,
lykewise
in
Marching
,
turning
,
retyring
,
fighting
to
obserue
the
order
by
his
Captayne
prescribed
:
Such
a
one
may
be
called
a
good
trayned
souldiar
,
and
if
he
be
ignoraunt
hereof
,
although
he
hath
bene
twentye
yeares
in
the
warres
,
I
accompte
him
not
worthy
the
name
of
a
Souldiar
.
Finally
the
onely
&
chiefe
grace
,
that
beautifieth
the
minde
of
a
Souldiar
,
is
the
contempt
of
Spoyle
,
and
refusall
of
riches
.
For
the
corrupt
opinion
of
wealth
and
pleasures
,
are
the
enemies
of
verue
,
the
allurements
not
to
so
fond
,
as
wicked
endeuors
.
Blandy
.
You
haue
not
vnskilfully
deliuered
your
opinion
of
a
Souldiar
in
generall
.
Now
,
if
you
would
briefely
set
downe
the
duety
that
belongeth
to
euery
seuerall
officer
,
you
should
highly
pleasure
me
.
what
is
therefore
to
be
desired
in
a
Generall
of
an
Armye
?
Gate
.
A
Generall
ought
first
and
chiefely
behold
the
Maiestye
of
God
,
and
cause
therefore
his
true
Religion
in
his
Armye
to
be
had
in
due
reuerence
:
in
such
sort
,
that
his
Souldiars
may
perceaue
he
is
in
déede
Religious
.
And
lett
him
by
all
meanes
cause
the
Priestes
and
Ministers
of
his
holy
will
and
testament
,
in
his
Armye
to
retayne
their
dignitye
,
and
to
be
estéemed
and
reuerenced
of
his
Souldiars
.
For
if
the
very
Paynims
by
due
obseruations
of
their
fayned
Religion
,
did
kéepe
their
Armies
in
maruelous
obedience
and
order
:
how
much
more
shall
true
Religion
,
deliuered
from
our
Lord
and
Sauiour
,
preuaile
a
Generall
,
and
Armye
that
loueth
him
,
to
the
atchieuing
great
and
miraculous
victoryes
.
Also
the
Generall
ought
to
be
modest
,
prudent
,
and
temperate
,
geuen
to
no
ryot
and
excesse
,
neither
miserably
bent
to
filthy
lucre
.
It
standeth
greatly
on
him
to
auoyd
the
name
of
a
vaunter
:
which
is
séene
in
this
,
that
he
doe
not
vendicate
to
himselfe
alone
the
prayse
of
good
successe
:
but
do
impute
the
same
first
to
God
.
Secondly
to
his
Captaynes
.
Thirdly
to
his
Souldiars
.
Furthermore
it
behoueth
a
Generall
to
be
a
noble
Gentleman
,
trayned
vp
in
those
sciences
,
through
the
knowledge
whereof
,
he
shall
sooner
attayne
that
perfection
,
which
in
a
Generall
is
néedefull
.
Lastly
,
for
that
I
study
herein
breuitye
,
moued
thereunto
,
through
great
and
wayghty
occasions
,
a
Generall
must
be
religious
,
temperate
,
sober
,
wise
,
valiant
,
liberall
,
curteous
,
Eloquent
,
&
of
good
fame
and
reputation
.

What
haue
you
to
say
of
the
hygh
Martiall

The
duety
of
the
high

is
as
great

a
Campe
,
as
the
office
of
a
iusticer
in
peaceable
and
ciuile
gouernement
.
To
him
appertayneth
the
true
administration
of
iustice
,
the
hearing
and
determining
of
controuersies
,
&
the
punishing
of
disorders
.
And
therefore
as
he
ought
of
of
himselfe
to
be
a
man
,
both
graue
,
wise
,
learned
,
and
thorowly
well
experienced
in
martiall
affayres
:
so
is
it
also
conuenient
for
him
to
haue
about
him
men
of
iudgement
,
sailfull
in
military
discipline
,
and
lawes
of
a
Campe
,
redily
to
resolue
of
euery
question
,
according
to
equity
and

This
belongeth
next

imediately
(
as
part
of
his
principal
charge
)
to
the
high
martiall
,
that
he
receiue

names
and
numbers
of
all
the
Corownets
of
horse

of

that
are
in

he
must

what
scope
of

will
suffice
to
encampe
them
with
all
theyr
prouision

The

Procéed

to
the
Serieaunt
Generall

Serieaunt

This
Officer
ought
to
be
a
man
of
great
courage
and
well
experienced
,
that
he
be
not
dismayd
with
the
terror
of
the
enemies
presence

For
the
most
part
of
all
hys
actions
are
to
be
exployted
euen
in
the
face
of
the
enemy

he
ought
to
be
a

therefore
of
liuely
spirite
,
and
quicke
inuention
,
that
he
may
soddenly
perceiue
,
and
quickely
conceiue
the
nature
of
the
Scituation
,
and
order
of
the
Enemies
aray

altering
and
disposing
accordingly
of
his

His
duty
is
to

Lieuetenant
Generall
to
receiue

in
what
sort
theyr

in
euery

what
number
of

what
Pikes

what

Proceede
now
I
pray
you
to
the
office
and
duty
of
a
Corownell
.
Gate
.
It
appertayneth
chiefly
to
a
Corownell
after
the
Prince
hath
elected
him
,
to
make
a
good
and
singuler
choise
of
his
Captaynes
and
Officers
,
that
they
may
the
better
and
more
readely
take
good
order
for
the
good
execution
of
any
seruice
.
It
is
most
requisite
he
hath
nere
vnto
his
person
certayne
wise
,
expert
,
and
valiant
Gentlemen
,
that
be
able
both
quickely
to
conceiue
,
and
plainely
and
sensibly
to
vtter
the
cause
of
any
new
accident
,
or
thing
whatsoeuer
,
that
he
shall
sée
.
It
behoueth
him
to
take
great
héed
,
least
the
souldiars
in
his
Regiment
be
discouraged
for
want
of
necessary
prouision
,
but
in
such
sort
be
prouided
for
,
that
the
souldiars
may
grow
into
a
liking
of
their
Captaynes
.
It
shal
be
an
honorable
part
in
a
Corownell
sometime
to
lend
of
his
owne
to
his
Captaynes
,
that
they
may
in
like
maner
ayde
,
and
binde
therefore
their
souldiars
to
them
in
theyr
wants
and
extremitye
.
And
aboue
all
other
thinges
,
let
a
Corownell
take
héed
that
he
be
not
noted
to
be
a
piller
of
the
souldiars
,
or
to
play
the
Marchaunt
making
his
gayne
vpon
them
:
and
as
it
behoueth
him
to
cleare
himselfe
alwayes
dythe
contrary
action
,
of
so
foule
&
dishonorable
a
crime
,
so
it
standes
him
greatly
on
,
that
his
Captaynes
be
not
infected
with
the
like
corruption
.
For
there
is
nothing
so
repugnant
to
the
honorable
profession
of
a
Souldiar
in
generall
,
and
therefore
much
more
of
a
Captayne
,
greater
of
a
Coronell
,
as
to
be
noted
miserable
.
Blandy
.
What
you
haue
sayd
,
no
man
with
reason
or
knowledge
can
withstand
:
I
desire
now
to
be
instructed
of
the
duty
of
a
Captayne
,
and
his
Lieuetenaunt
.
Gate
.
This
déepe
and
principall
consideration
ought
to
be
in
a
Captayne
,
that
a
charge
of
the
liues
of
men
is
to
him
committed
,
so
that
if
any
quayle
vnder
his
conduct
,
either
by
rashnes
or
by
want
of
knowledge
,
he
is
to
render
accompt
thereof
before
the
great
Judge
.
He
ought
not
to
be
couetous
or
niggardly
,
neuer
to
kéepe
backe
his
souldiars
pay
,
but
by
all
meanes
possible
to
procure
them
theyr
pay
,
and
to
his
hability
rewarding
them
ouer
and
aboue
:
for
by
that
meanes
he
gayneth
honor
,
and
lincketh
them
fast
and
assured
to
him
in
any
doubtful
▪
&
perilous
seruice
.
A
Lieuetenant
also
is
an
office
of
credit
and
reputation
:
but
in
the
absence
of
his
Captaine
farr
greater
and
déeper
.
In
all
factions
or
questions
among
the
Souldiars
,
it
behoueth
him
to
be
newtre
,
working
most
louingly
pacification
.
It
appertayneth
to
him
to
ouersee
the
Serieantes
and
Corporalls
,
that
they
doe
theyr
duetye
,
and
oftentimes
to
ayde
them
with
his
owne
person
.
He
is
to
vse
most
frendly
and
brotherly
his
Auncient
,
he
should
be
a
man
able
to
speake
well
and
sensibly
,
and
study
by
courtesy
rather
than
by
seueritye
to
frame
aright
,
crooked
and
peruerse
mindes
.
It
behoueth
the
Liuetenant
,
much
more
therefore
the
Captaine
to
be
continually
Armed
,
as
well
when
no
perill
is
feared
,
as
in
tyme
of
daunger
,
to
geue
example
to
the
rest
of
the
Souldiars
,
that
they
may
not
thinke
their
Armor
burthenous
,
but
by
vse
to
make
it
as
familiar
to
them
,
as
their
clothes
,
shyrt
,
and
skinne
.
Blandy
.
If
you
will
in
lyke
manner
declare
,
what
belongeth
to
an
Auncient
,
Serieant
of
a
company
,
and
Corporall
,
you
shall
finishe
a
good
and
profitable
labor
.
Gate
.
The
Auncient
,
and
Ensigne
bearer
,
ought
to
be
a
man
of
good
accompt
,
honest
,
and
vertuous
,
that
the
Captayne
may
repose
the
rather
more
credite
and
affiance
in
him
:
he
ought
to
behaue
himselfe
wisely
,
discretely
,
and
soberly
,
that
he
be
therefore
more
loued
of
the
Souldiars
:
considering
thereby
,
that
not
onely
his
owne
person
shall
be
in
more
safetye
,
when
he
attempteth
perilous
exploytes
,
but
also
the
whole
seruice
more
brauely
and
honorably
exployted
:
for
the
value
and
vertue
of
the
Auncient
setteth
forth
the
vertue
,
and
valour
of
the
Captayne
and
whole
Company
.
The
Serieaunt
of
a
Company
ought
to
be
a
man
chosen
of
quick
spirite
and
actiue
bodye
:
to
the
end
he
be
not
staggering
and
astonyed
vpon
new
accidents
,
but
prompt
and
readye
on
a
soddayne
,
to
doe
that
to
him
appertayneth
.
His
duetye
resteth
greatly
,
in
ordering
and
rancking
his
Company
,
assigning
to
each
Souldiar
his
due
place
,
cutting
of
braules
,
and
all
manner
of
contention
.
The
Corporall
is
a
degrée
aboue
the
priuate
Souldiar
,
and
therefore
he
should
passe
and
surmount
his
inferiours
in
witt
,
discretion
,
and
diligence
.
The
Corporall
ought
to
kéepe
continuall
company
with
his
little
troupe
,
committed
to
his
charge
,
to
lodge
with
them
,
and
prouide
for
their
want
,
and
to
instruct
them
how
to
handle
and
vse
the
weapon
they
carry
.
He
ought
to
remember
perfectly
,
how
euery
one
is
armed
,
and
furnished
,
when
he
receaued
them
in
charge
,
and
to
sée
that
no
part
therof
be
spoyled
,
but
be
preserued
neate
and
trymme
.
Finally
,
the
nature
and
qualitye
of
all
good
Souldiars
is
this
,
that
they
stand
alwayes
of
their
credite
and
reputation
,
accompting
no
losse
of
goods
comparable
,
to
a
dishonorable
foyle
,
to
haue
a
great
,
high
,
and
waighty
respect
of
his
charge
,
and
to
be
no
lesse
carefull
and
zealous
thereof
,
then
euery
honest
and
honorable
gentleman
,
should
take
of
his
wife
,
familye
,
and
children
:
In
conclusion
,
to
feare
nothing
so
much
(
appeared
it
neuer
so
terrible
to
fleshe
and
bloud
)
as
infamy
.
Thus
you
haue
heard
my
poore
conceit
&
opinion
,
of
a
souldiar
:
also
the
duet●es
of
those
,
who
haue
a
superioritye
in
that
profession
:
deliuered
I
confesse
,
not
so
amply
and
in
so
comely
manner
,
as
the
waightynes
of
the
Argument
would
requier
:
but
as
the
slendernes
of
my
skill
,
would
permitt
me
in
this
discourse
to
followe

Blandy

Your
treaty
hitherto
may
counteruaile
well

both
your

And
whereas
some
other
,
grounded
more
in
knowledge

could
geue

drift

wheeunto

Those

whereof
I
made
mention
before

being
at
the
receipte
of
their

when
aduertisement
was
brought

,
that
the
Englishe

were
in

were
stricken
with
such
a
feare

that
omitting

tooke
their
flight

it
is
written
,
no

Vnto
which
Cloyster
our

ariued

The

folowing
our

remoued

marching
to
Vpslaught

fiue
Ensignes

were
strongly
incoucht
,
furnished
with
Munition
and
3.
small
péeces
of
Artillarye

seuered
in
two

The
Graue
van

sent
a

without

(
sauing
their

to
the

the
Prince

vtterly

gaue

thinke
their
Larum
to
haue

In
conclusion
we
happened
on
their
maine
battayle

At
what
tyme
Captayne
Corne
,
a

alwaye
little
breading
the
Enemies
presence

cried
with
a
lowd
voyce
:
My
Maisters

fellow
Souldiars

my
naturall
and
deare
Countrymen

let

now
stand
fast
,
and
geue
yonder
cursed
company
a
Canuassado
,
for
the
honor
of
our
Prince
and
Countrye

Let
them
vnderstand
by
our
stomaches
,
what
minde
and
spirite
remaineth
in
the
rest
,
and
by
that
which
is
found
in
the
rest
,
to
be
looked
for
of
all
our
nation

This
little
sayd
,
a
charge
was
geuen
.
Blandy

Who
can
with
wordes
sufficiently
commend
the
courage
of
this
Captayne
,
the
lostines
of
his
high
and
honorable
minde
?
This
Corne
was
not
great
of
bodye
,
a
very
graine
in
comparison
,
yet
yelding
aboundance
of
fine
and
white
flower
.
This
Corne
smelled
of
no
cockle
,
for
that
it
grew
,
in
so
fertile
,
and
sappie
a
soyle
.
Let
all
souldiars
therefore
,
that
will
féede
their
mindes
with
the
bread
,
which
so
noble
Corne
hath
made
,
moulded
and
baken
for
them
to
eate
,
receaue
him
most
worthely
:
in
prayse
to
preferre

in
fidelitye
to

in

in

to

deseruedly

Now
I
pray
you
say
on
.
Gate
.
The
Skirmish
on
both
sides
waxed
great
,
whott
,
and
violent
.
The
egernes
of
our
men
,
wrought
the
confusion
of
as
many
as
were
then
slayne
.
For
if
they
had
in
tyme
retyred
,
we
had
gréeued
greatly
the
Enemy
,
without
the
losse
of
one
man
.
For
at
the
same
present
,
we
lost
many
a
proper
Souldiar

tall

The
principall

was

approued

What
of

The
lacke
of

was
not
in

so
much
lamentable

fiercenesse

laudable

Were

Can

and
fellow
souldiars
,
we
shall
presently
proue
the
fauour
of
fortune
.
Our
long
desire
hath
bene
to
sée
the
face
of
the
enemy
.
My
deare
and
louing
countrey
men
behold
now
where
the
body
is
.
It
is
farr
more
honorable
for
vs
to
charge
them
in
this
maner
,
then
scattered
,
straggeling
,
or
in
Ambush
and
Troupe
,
let
this
liuely
sight
of
dead
bodyes
,
let
fresh
bloud
newly
spilt
,
stirr
and
pricke
you
forwardes
,
let
desire
of
reuenge
and
victory
,
lift
vp
your
mindes
,
confyrme
your
courage
in
my
valor
and
constancy
:
which
(
by
that
sunne
that
shineth
and
his
gouernour
I
sweare
)
shall
not
shrinke
and
quaile
in
this
purpose
intended
.
This
sayd
,
he
himselfe
first
with
the
rest
of
his
gentlemen
charged
,
and
recharged
to
the
great
losse
of
the
enemy
.
He
in
that
conflict
flew
one
hundred
of
the
enemies
folckes
:
Wonne
two
Ensignes
,
brought
away
twenty
seruiceable
horses
.
Who
comming
the
next
morning
to
the
Campe
was
ioyfully
receiued
of
the
General
,
Corownelles
,
Captaynes
and
Souldiars
.
Blandy
.
His
desert
required
no
lesse
,
if
his
exployte
be
well
examined
:
wherein
I
know
not
whether
I
may
commend
more
his
hardinesse
and
value
,
(
which
hath
bene
alwayes
throughly
approued
)
or
happ
and
vertue
,
which
in
a
leader
is
as
highly
priced
,
as
necessarily
respected
.
For
as
it
auayleth
greatly
an
Armie
to
haue
a
happy
Generall
so
it
incourageth
not
a
litle
any
company
on
horse
,
or
foote
to
be
guided
and
lead
by
a
fortunate
commaunder
,
whiche
commeth
not
(
as
some
thinke
)
by
chaunce
and
of
no
certayne
and
principall
cause
,
but
rather
(
as
I
suppose
)
of
a
suddayne
and
secret
instinct
and
notice
,
that
some
man
hath
aboue
another
:
in
perill
to
escape
,
in
place
to
pursue
,
in
necessity
to
stand
fast
,
in
doubt
to
be
quickly
and
prudently
resolued
,
all
which
procéede
of
a
proper
and
priuy
circumspection
of
minde
,
which
rare
and
excellent
condition
and
quality
I
yelde
to
this
Captayne
.
Gate

You
haue
yelded
to
him
no
more
then
he
may
by
due
challenge
.
Blandy

Whereas
Captayne
Williams
gaue
the
Enemy
a
sore
and
sharpe
blow
(
wherein
his
true
value
eminently
appeared
)
there
were
other
also
no
doubt
,
which
did
winne
at
that
present
if
not
the
like
,
yet
great
prayse
and
honor
:
in
so
much
I
verely
think
the
meanest
man
,
knowne
least
for
his
triall
and
proofe
,
could
not
then
but
deserue
well

Captayne
Carelell
now
Serieant
Maior
in
feature
and
limmes
of

is
something
inferior
to
Captain

he
liued

of

respect

prowes

equall

These
two
principall
giftes
of
a
noble

are
in
this
Carelel
beautified
with
other
two
in
kinde
and
nature
not

excellent
,
yet
most
fit

necessary
to
be
resident

where
true
nobility

Blandy

What
are
those
?

Affability
&
liberality
.
Champernoone
hath
his
value
:
more
Gréene
,
yet
likely
to
be
ripe
and
proue
good
fruit
.
Browne
according
to
his
name
is
more
then
Gréene
,
hardened
through
the
proofe
of
many
perilous
attempt
,
whose
value
,
courage
and
fury
,
the
enemy
in
this
conflict
felt

Shew
(
I
pray

your
purpose
intended

Gate

After
which
conflict
the
Malecontentes
could
neuer
abide
to
encounter
with
the
English
companyes
,
sending
to
Graue
van
Hollocke
then
Generall
of
the
Army
this
pretyiest
:
Dismisse
English
broode
with
theyr
great
Ruffes
,
we
care
not
a
pinne
for
all
thy
Muffes
.
The
malecontents
therefore
wandered
through
feare
of
English
force
as
Pilgrims
in
theyr
owne
country
hither
and
thither
,
according
as
they
were
informed
by
theyr
spyes
where
the
English
Regiment
lay
:
promising
many
times
to
fight
with
vs
,
meaning
nothing
lesse
,
as
the
effect
did
proue
.
In
meane
season
Mayster
Norris
was
made
Generall
of
the
whole
Army
,
not
without
his
great
desert
and
triall
of
honor
,
by
whose
vertue
and
pollicy
the
enemy
of
late
hath
bene
so
plagued
,
that
almost
it
is
incredible
to
tell
.
Blandy
.
I
pray
you
vtter
briefly
the
trueth
thereof
.
Gate
.
On
Sonday
before
Christmas
last
past
4.
hundred
fifty
and
foure
Malecontents
were
slayne
by
the
Englishe
nation
,
at
Swarfe
Sluce
in
the
west
partes
of
Friseland
,
onely
,
with
the
losse
of
one
Captayne
named
Elles
&
thrée
other
priuate
souldiars
.
The
glory
of
which
ouerthrow
and
victory
is
chiefly
to
be
geuen
to
God
,
the
honor
to
M.
Norris
and
his
Captaynes
,
the
prayse
and
commendation
to
his
officers
and
souldiars
.
In
consideration
whereof
,
I
call
to
minde
a
prouerbe
not
so
olde
as
true
:
As
the
king
is
so
is
his
people
:
which
I
may
most
fitly
&
truely
apply
to
M.
Norris
now
Generall
of
the
Armye
of
the
States
in
Friseland
.
As
the
Generall
is
,
so
are
his
Captaynes
Lieuetenauntes
,
officers
and
souldiars
.
For
where
the
desire
of
true
honor
,
&
glory
is
in
the
Generall
imprinted
,
there
the
Captaynes
,
officers
,
and
souldiars
,
by
a
naturall
loue
and
inclination
that
the
best
mindes
are
stirred
therewith
,
are
much
more
set
on
fire
and
enkindeled
.
So
that
whereas
this
noble
gentleman
,
hath
by
his
valiant
actes
,
proued
himselfe
to
be
a
fountayne
of
fame
,
a
welspring
of
vertue
,
a
riuer
of
royaltye
,
it
cannot
be
,
but
that
his
people
become
péerelesse
,
noble
,
and
magnificent
.
For
where
the
Generall
féedeth
his
minde
,
with
high
and
honorable
causes
,
and
standes
therein
resolute
,
there
his
Captaynes
and
Souldiars
are
prest
to
all
manner
of
attemptes
,
be
they
neuer
so
difficult
:
And
where
such
Captaynes
are
prest
,
there
are
atchiued
feates
more
wonderfull
,
then
reasonable
.
And
to
speake
something
of
our
Nation
,
and
especially
,
of
the
small
and
litle
troupe
vnder
Maister
Norris
,
it
is
incredible
to
thinke
and
report
how
their
vertue
doubleth
the
worthynes
of
other
Nations
.
For
as
their
leaders
,
and
commaunders
excell
in
witt
,
prowes
,
and
value
:
so
haue
they
them
in
more
loue
,
reuerence
,
and
admiration
.
For
this
may
be
truely
sayd
of
our
Countrymen
:
that
euen
the
rude
multitude
,
doe
loue
their
rulers
,
and
superiors
,
according
to
their
vertues
,
and
magnanimitye
,
that
they
sée
in
them
.
No
people
in
the
world
more
faythfull
,
more
affectionate
,
then
are
the
English
Nation
,
if
they
be
reteyned
accordingly
:
neither
are
they
ouercome
a
whitt
with
the
hellish
furies
,
and
brutish
crueltyes
,
that
doe
generally
possesse
all
other
Nations
in
the
world
.
For
,
it
is
naturally
geuen
to
the
right
Englishman
,
to
content
himselfe
with
the
victory
,
and
to
take
pittye
on
the
vanquished
.
And
where
this
vertue
of
commiseration
and
mercye
dwelleth
,
there
also
dwelleth
naturally
hardynes
&
prowes
.
For
it
is
an
infallible
rule
,
that
where
feare
is
,
there
is
also
crueltye
.
So
that
I
conclude
of
this
principle
:
sith
our
Nation
doth
excell
other
in
loue
,
gentlenes
,
courtesie
,
placabilitye
and
mercye
,
they
also
are
to
be
preferred
before
the
straunger
in
true
value
,
hardynes
,
courage
,
prowes
,
and
magnanimitye
.
Blandy

The
ouerthrowe
you
speake
of
,
was
great
:
the
prayses
and
honor
you
haue
geuen
to
Maister
Norris
is
such
,
that
he
may
in
right
challenge
them
.
The
commendation
of
our
Countrye
,
you
haue
most
firmely
grounded
on
a
sure
rock
of
reason
.
And
whereas
you
haue
made
mention
of
the
Generall
,
touching
his
small
and
litle
troupe
,
to
finish
this
worke
,
in
my
opinion
shall
fitt
you
best
,
to
geue
all
Gentlemen
,
and
Souldiars
of
our
Nation
a
farewell
,
who
to
winne
their
Prince
and
Countrye
honor
,
feare
no
force
,
dread
no
daunger
and
terror
of
the
Enemy
.
The
number
whereof
,
when
I
call
to
minde
,
I
cannot
forget
Maister
Iohn
Seintleger
:
whose
value
and
prowes
ioyned
with
a
princely
humanitye
and
curtesie
,
my
penn
cannot
deseruedly
describe
.
Gate

You
haue
I
assure
you
,
named
a
Gentleman
:
whose
valor
matcheth
with
the
vertue
of
the
best
of
our
nation
,
that
serue
in
the
Nether
Landes
,
although
he
be
not
a
lyke
preferred
of
the
Prince
there
:
But
no
doubt
if
he
indure
those
seruices
he
cannot
but
beare
a
principall
office
,
and
that
right
worthelye
in
the
field
.
His
carefull
payne
in
all
exploytes
,
his
equall
labors
in
the
tyresome
March
,
his
dreadles
attemptes
in
any
perilous
aduenture
haue
bene
such
,
so
open

and
manifest

that
not
onely
his
Country-men

Souldiars

yelded

of
Maister
Seintleger
(

you
haue

It
appeareth
therefore
by
your
discourse
that
in
a
perfect
commonwealth
one
chiefly
should
rule
and
sitt
in
the
place
of
maiesty
,
other
(
chosen
especially
for
theyr
vertue
,
iustice
,
prudence
and
pollicy
)
occupy
a
place
of
honour
,
by
whose
wisedome
and
pollicy
the
multitude
should
be
gouerned
:
other
some
,
for
theyr
skill
and
vertue
in
warlike
practises
be
aduaunced
to
high
degrée
.
Now
I
thinke
it
most
fit
you
speake
of
the
Marchaunt
,
artificer
,
and
Tiller
of
the
ground
.
Blandy

When
I
consider
with
my selfe
,
how
requisite
and
necessary
it
is
,
that
men
should
differ
in
degree
and
dignity
,
and
that
inumerable
artes
and
sciences
haue
bene
deuised
to
mayntayne
the
common
society
of
men
,
and
no
one
may
excell
in
all
,
and
few
at
any
time
may
attayne
the
best
:
I
can
no
lesse
maruayle
at
,
then
commend
the
deuine
decree
of
nature
,
whose
prouidence
hath
wrought
and
appoynted
the
varietyes
of
wittes
,
dispositions
,
&
qualityes
.
Socrates
in
his
booke
intituled
Phedro
calleth
this
excellency
of
nature
,
the
golde
of
the
Gods
,
wherby
he
is
induced
to
think
that
they
whose
mindes
are
of
so
rare
and
fine
a
making
,
are
vnto
them
allyed
and
fitte
of
all
other
to
be
placed
on
the
earth
in
the
Throne
of
Maiesty
.
Dame
nature
therefore
the
mother
of
all
thinges
hath
placed
in
the
world
principally
such
in
the
highest
Roomes
:
of
which
order
are
kings
and
Princes
.
Other
some
she
hath
not
framed
in
such
perfect
wise
,
for
the
clearnesse
and
shining
glory
of
vertue
and
nobility
:
yet
she
hath
imparted
vnto
them
a
most
sharp
wit
and
ready
capacity
,
greate
value
and
singuler
prouidence
.
Herehence
the
iusticer
and
souldiar
springeth
,
of
which
thrée
lofty
and
stately
partes
it
is
already
discoursed
.
On
other
she
hath
bestowed
a
mind
and
courage
,
that
for
the
magnificence
of
theyr
prince
,
weale
of
theyr
countrey
,
honor
of

City

estimation

priuate

,
by

be
the

neuer
so
great

by

be
the

neuer

hassard
of
vnknowen
goods
&
déepe
expence
of
a
rich
pursse
,
aduenture
straunge
and
vntried

Herehence
the
famous
companies
of
aduenturing
Marchauntes
floweth
,
which
are
the
Princes
of
all
other
which
buy
and
sell
wares
.
Other
she
hath
made
more
simple
of
vnderstanding
,
more
colde
of
courage
,
and
therefore
iustly
hath
appoynted
vnto
them
,
to
toyle
in
seruile
artes
,
of
which
sort
are
they
,
whome
we
terme
artificers
,
men
of
occupation
,
Tillers
of
the
grounde
with
theyr
helpers
,
poore

simple

and
laboursome

What
you
haue
sayd
hitherto
of
these
thrée
partes
I
can
in
no
wise
discommend
.
Blandy

May
not
these
suffice
?
Gate

I
am
not
vnacquaynted
with
your
accustomed
florishes
,
I
know
and
am
assuredly
perswaded
,
you
can
if
you

please
deliuer
more
of
this
matter
.
Blandy

Will
you
that
I
write
more
then
I
haue
spoken
?
Would
you
me
attempt
the
commendation
of
theyr
state
?
If
so
,
I
shall
hardly
auoyd
the
suspition
of
feare
,
or
flattery
:
acknowledging
notwithstanding
how
vnable
a
man
I
am
to
yelde
to
the
good
and
vertuous
Marchaunt
the
true
guerdon
of
his
due
desert
.
Would
you
me
instruct
them
in
theyr
kinde
of
life
?
Should
my
pen
pinch
or
improue
their
daynty
fare
?
Should
I
be
so
bolde
,
as
to
enter
into
theyr
housechappell
,
and
mangle
theyr
to
to
much
carued
Imagery
,
nipp
theyr
soft

nice
nightbeds
?
I
assure
you
it
is
not
my
part
so
to
do
.
And
albeit
these
(
as
some
will
)
superfluities
of
fend
more
others
that
want
such
furniture
,
then
in
right
turne
to
the
Marchauntes
rebuke
,
being
bought
and
purchased
with
his
paynefull
&
perillous
trauayle

So
no
man
of
wise
and
déepe
iudgement
shall
be
caried
away
from
the
good
opinion
of
a
Marchaunt
,
through
the
sight
of
those
beautifull
,
pleasing
,
and
passing
vanities
.
If
the
Plowman
hath
for
a
short
iorney
at
his
seasan
his
swéete
,
if
the
laborsome
man
for
his

much
more

it
to
be
graunted
to

whose
endeuors
are
farre
greater

whose

,
his

and
in
his
priuate
Family

All
these
pleasures
are
to
him
graunted
,
if

performe
what
is
in
him
required
.
Gate
.
What
is
his
duety
,
and
wherein
chiefly
doth
it
consist
?
Blandy
.
What
I
speake
is
generall
,
and
toucheth
principally
those
who
haue
wonne
by
any
knde
of
fortune
great
wealth
,
&
yet
striue
most
egerly
to
augment
the
same
.
I
could
wish
such
(
as
it
becommeth
Marchauntes
indéed
)
to
make
their
marte
wisely
with
straungers
in
forraigne
landes
,
&
not
to
make
a
pray
wyly
of
the
wantes
of
Gentlemen
in
theyr
owne
countrye
,
what
maketh
the
state
of
any
common-wealth
more
florishing
than
aboundance
?
Then
,
what
plague
is
found
to
the
happynesse
thereof
more
pestiferous
,
then
want
&
penury
?
If
so
,
the
procurers
of
the
one
are
to
be
detested
as
much
,
as
the
actors
of
the
other
right
worthely
honored
.
And
herein
I
pray
you
note
,
that
the
Marchaunt
whatsoeuer
,
which
harkeneth
after
the
wants
,
phantasies
,
spending
humors
of
gentlemen
of
his
owne
countrey

and
especially
of
such
who
do
kéepe
good

worshipfull

through

Fathers
vntimely

Uerely
I
thinke
no
lesse
.
Is
there
any
of
so
vile
and
corrupt
minde
in
England
?
Blandy

I
can
accuse
none
:
But
if
there
be
any
,
and
that
my
iudgement
might
be
taken
and
accepted
of
,
I
would
haue
all
such
seared
in
the
forehead
,
with
the
marke
,
and
figure
of
death
:
signifiyng
therby
,
that
whereas
to
this
day
there
is
no
lawe
made
,
for
the
inquisition
and
punishing
here
on

,
of
so
fowle
and
vnsatiable
desiers
,
there
hath
bene
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
,
by
the
iust
iudgement
of
God
,
appoynted
a
death
in
Hell
:
where
such
malefactors
shall
burne
,
and
be
tormented
with
euerlasting
,
and
vnquenchable
fiers
.
Gate

My
busines
may
not
suffer
me
to
stay
long
:
Wherefore
,
procéede
to
the
Artificer
,
and
Tyller
of
the
ground
.
Blandy
.
All
of
one
nature
,
are
not
indued
with
the
selfe-same
qualitye
and
vertue
,
neither
is
this
difference
to
be
noted
in
men
onely
:
but
in
beastes
,
trées
,
and
plantes
.
For
trées
which
are
of
one
kinde
,
spread
not
their
braunches
in
lyke
fayrenes
,
euery
Stead
doth
not
his
Carrier
with
the
lyke
loftynes
,
neither
is
euery
Lyon
of
lyke
strength
.
In
all
the
workes
of
Nature
,
as
I
haue
before
declared
,
there
is
to
be
noted
a
varietye
of
value
,
disposition
,
and
qualitye
:
so
that
according
to
that
diuersitye
,
and
inclination
of
nature
wée
sée
the
oddes
of
labors
,
and
studdye
.
Some
therefore
according
to
their
skill
,
and
reach
,
embrace
a
science
,
which
more
strengtheneth
,
and
stayeth
the
weaker
partes
of
a
Commonweale
,
then
other
:
in
which
place
,
I
putt
the
Clothyer
,
other
worke
on
gold
and
siluer
,
other
worke
on
Iron
,
other
till
the
ground
,
other
in
this
,
or
that
science
,
bestow
their
carefull
paynes
:
all
to
the
profitt
and
commoditye
of
their
natiue
Countrye
.
In
consideration
of
whose
diuers
dispositions
,
in
one
kinde
and
nature
,
this
I
iudge
most
worthy
to
be
reported
,
reade
,
and
remembred
:
that
Nature
by
disposing
our
affections
,
so
diuersly
,
brought
to
passe
most
prouidently
,
that
man
,
who
of
all
other
creatures
was
ordayned
to
maintayne
a
societye
,
should
be
thereunto
forced
of
necessitye
.
For
the
trauayle
of
each
man
thus
differing
,
yeldeth
to
other
that
which
by
his
owne
instustrye
,
he
could
neuer
attayne
.
Gate

You
haue
generally
made
mention
of
many
sciences
:
emong
them
all
,
the
knowledge
and
skill
of
clothing
,
séemeth
most
worthye
to
be
disputed
of
:
for
that
it
concerneth
the
maintenaunce
of
thousandes
,
whose
good
and
prosperous
state
,
yeldeth
to
their
Prince
,
in
peace
pleasure
,
in
warre
,
no
small
supply
of
men
,
to
withstand
the
force
and
furye
of
the
Enemye

Blandy

I
assent
most
gladly
,
to
your
good
and
honest
desire
,
wishing
my selfe
as
able
,
as
willing
,
to
vphold
their
state
now
falling
,
if
the
Prince
,
&
prouidence
of
the
Péeres
and
and
nobilitye
of
England
doe
not
with
their
pitifull
eyes
,
and
tender
commiseration
of
so
poore
and
approued
condition
of
men
,
propp
vp

and
establish
more
strongly
those
thyghes
,
knées
,
and
ioyntes
of
this
Commonwealth

Gate
.
Is
the
state
of
Clothiers
inféebled
?
Blandy
.
Their
state
is
well
nigh
decayed
,
although
they
for
the
most
part
,
retayne
still
their
due
,
and
naturall
intention
of
minde
,
which
causeth
them
to
tast
of
some
hardynes
themselues
,
rather
than
nombers
of
good
&
honest
men
,
(
which
cannot
be
otherwise
relieue
,
them
by
their
first
learned
occupation
)
should
pearishe
for
want
of
sustenaunce
.
Gate
.
In
this
action
I
assure
you
,
they
deserue
much
loue
and
reuerence
.
But
how
commeth
it
to
passe
,
that
men
imployed
in
so
good
and
honest
trade
of
lyfe
,
should
want
the
guerdon
of
so
long
and
well
approued
toyle
and
lobor
?
Blandy
.
If
you
would
know
that
,
I
thinke
it
most
fitt
,
you
sift
,
and
search
the
ground
and
matter
of
their
science
.
Gate

What
is
that
,
they
chiefely
handle
and
worke
on
?
Blandy
.
Woll
,
Oyle
,
Ode
,
Madder
,
Gall
,
Ware
,
and
many
other
thinges
differing
in
nature
,
yet
through
the
skill
of
that
workeman
made
one
,
all
which
,
as
they
are
not
of
one
kinde
,
so
are
they
not
made
,
or
ingendred
in
one
place
.
Whose
qualityes
also
differ
greatly
,
and
therefore
,
néedeth
the
labor
of
many
men
to
worke
them
,
to
the
Artificers
drift
,
vse
,
and
knowledge
.
So
that
where
there
is
a
science
in
a
commonwealth
that
handleth
so
many
thinges
,
to
the
workemanshipp
whereof
men
in
number
are
required
,
and
besides
where
this
faculty
hath
so
long
florished
,
being
not
stayned
in
any
crime
,
that
the
Prince
or
commonwealth
might
conceiue
griefe
:
I
assure
you
(
to
speake
the
very
trueth
)
the
ouerthrow
〈…〉
throw
the
body
of
a
common

that
a

may
stand

science

narrow

setting
downe
by
due
comparisone
theyr
odds
and

But
for
that
I
holde
them
both
of
price
,
and
that
my
poore
and
vnlearned
penne
may
litle
preuayle
them
in

I
refer
them

to
the
Maiesty
of
God

whose
vnspeakable
goodnes

vertue

I
pray

that
(

that
all
mortall

haue
reason

although
not

although

liue

although
not

in

degrée

it
would
please
his
diuine
maiesty
to
graunt
vs
all
in
disposition
so
differing

a
mind
not
differing

in

so
much

the
Unity
of

grace

the
inestimable
excellency
wherof
,
lyeth
open
(
through
earnest

careful
prayer

as
well
to
the
poore
man
as
Prince

to
the
simple
,
as
Prudent
,
to
the
weak
,
as
mighty

to
the

hath
scarse
to
nourish

féed
his

as
to
him

aboundeth
with
all
daynty

superfluous

Who
doth
not

how
vile
all
these
wordly
thinges
are

how
mortall

how
transitory

how
ful
of
error

contemptible
vanity

Who
doth

beholding
that
vncertainty

the

condition
of

counterfait

deceitfull
Image

If

why

If
