THE
MAN
IS
BVT
his
Minde
.
TO
THE
RIGHT
WORSHIPfull
my
singular
good
friend
,
Sir
Iohn
Skidmoer
,
one
of
the
Liefetenants
of
Haruordshire
.
I
Am
not
forgetfull
good
Sir
Iohn
of
a
promise
made
touching
The
man
is
but
his
minde
:
Which
worke
now
I
present
you
,
though
not
so
well
penned
as
the
matter
requireth
,
yet
as
wel
ment
as
any
peece
of
worke
in
this
Booke
,
written
as
well
to
keepe
promise
,
as
to
show
the
circumstance
of
the
mistery
that
belongeth
to
euery
mans
minde
,
and
to
hope
that
all
I
write
thereof
shall
be
as
well
taken
as
a
dutifull
writer
can
meane
.
I
haue
plainely
set
downe
mine
opinion
in
that
behalf
,
doubting
not
but
some
one
man
or
other
shall
see
a
peece
of
his
owne
minde
,
in
this
my
presumption
of
the
same
.
So
wishing
your
good
and
vertuous
minde
augmented
in
grace
,
and
your selfe
encreased
in
worship
and
contentation
of
mind
,
I
betake
you
to
God
and
fall
to
my
purposed
discourse
.
AS
I
was
reading
in
the
delightfull
discourses
of
Ieronimus
Cardanus
his
comforts
,
among
many
pleasant
passages
and
speciall
sentences
▪
I
founde
that
he
said
A
man
was
but
his
mind
either
in
the
value
of
vertue
or
vanity
of
vice
.
So
waying
the
worth
of
that
conclusion
,
&
knowing
that
Manhood
or
Cowardize
consistes
in
the
selfe
same
opinion
of
the
minde
,
I
considered
that
common
quarrels
and
priuate
reuengement
of
Iniuries
receiued
,
proceeded
in
a
manner
from
this
spring
and
flowing
Fountaine
,
that
euer
is
fedde
and
nourished
with
som
setled
conceite
or
other
.
For
the
minde
is
so
noble
,
watchfull
,
and
worthy
,
that
it
is
neuer
vnoccupied
whilest
the
man
is
awaken
,
nor
taketh
any
great
rest
when
the
body
is
a
sleepe
,
(
as
some
dreames
and
visions
manifesteth
plaine
.
)
For
euen
as
a
cunning
Carpenter
or
Smith
,
is
hammering
and
heawing
some
péece
of
wood
or
iron
,
to
bring
the
same
to
such
shape
and
perfection
,
as
the
artificer
would
haue
it
:
So
the
minde
(
the
harber
of
all
secretes
and
mouer
of
all
good
and
bad
motions
)
can
at
no
season
be
idle
or
wax
weary
of
deuises
.
The
Imaginations
thereof
are
so
many
,
and
the
innumerable
conceites
therein
are
so
mighty
,
the
fire
is
of
such
vehement
heat
and
operation
,
that
it
must
néedes
burne
or
consume
any
thing
that
long
remaines
in
it
,
so
the
minde
is
of
such
force
and
power
,
that
it
leadeth
the
man
any
way
it
listeth
,
and
shapes
al
the
sences
and
vitall
spirites
in
what
forme
or
fashion
it
pleaseth
.
For
the
longer
the
fancies
of
the
head
(
by
rouling
to
and
froe
are
tired
)
and
at
length
reposeth
themselues
in
the
constantnes
of
the
minde
,
the
more
is
the
mans
reason
subiect
to
the
mindes
resolution
,
and
the
lesse
strength
the
iudgement
hath
when
it
féeles
the
forces
of
the
body
captiuated
and
compeld
to
obay
the
greatnes
of
the
minde
.
Though
learning
,
education
,
and
good
instructions
,
be
a
meane
and
restraint
,
that
a
peruerse
mind
shall
not
draw
the
whole
body
to
destruction
,
yet
the
minde
being
bent
to
some
dangerous
determination
,
hath
ouercome
all
the
good
causes
rehearsed
,
and
brought
both
the
body
,
reputation
,
and
life
,
into
a
shamefull
disorder
,
and
made
a
cruell
confusion
not
onely
of
the
man
,
but
likewise
brought
a
licentious
liberty
to
the
minde
,
experience
of
proud
practises
hath
proued
this
argument
no
fable
,
but
now
to
talke
truely
and
probably
of
the
minde
,
what
can
be
named
or
thought
on
,
(
if
they
be
things
to
be
executed
)
but
the
minde
dare
attempt
and
the
man
may
goe
about
,
it
dare
aduenture
the
hazarde
of
the
soule
,
the
losse
of
life
and
goods
,
and
the
cracking
of
estimation
and
credit
,
if
any
purposed
mischiefe
hale
the
minde
forewarde
to
some
odious
enterprises
,
this
showes
but
a
weakenes
of
Iudgement
,
naughtines
of
nature
,
and
a
most
wicked
and
wilfull
disposition
of
a
desperate
conceite
,
diuelishly
drawen
and
enclined
and
carelesly
committing
it selfe
to
euery
kinde
of
practises
and
dangerous
determination
.
But
now
to
touch
the
noblenes
of
an
inuincible
minde
,
that
neither
Fortune
can
conquer
,
power
may
commaund
,
nor
worldly
pompe
nor
wealth
can
winne
.
The
true
discourse
of
this
minde
,
craues
a
writer
of
a
higher
knowledge
,
for
the
vnspeakeable
spirite
that
keepes
life
,
and
breatheth
continuall
constancy
in
the
brest
where
this
minde
makes
his
mansion
house
,
is
to
be
explained
and
set
forth
by
the
profoundest
pen
man
of
the
worlde
,
that
can
lay
open
like
an
Anotomy
the
hidden
and
secrete
partes
of
the
body
,
especially
the
diuine
nature
(
closed
vp
in
flesh
and
bloud
)
and
secrecy
belonging
to
the
vertue
of
this
manly
and
valiaunt
minde
.
Some
men
there
are
(
and
though
they
boast
not
much
the
number
may
be
great
)
that
with
a
strong
heart
can
suffer
afflictions
,
beare
burthens
,
abide
disgraces
,
and
in
their
most
torments
seeme
careles
of
all
the
crossings
&
counterchecks
is
offered
them
,
yet
they
are
armed
within
to
withstand
all
outward
assaults
as
it
were
a
fortresse
manned
with
souldiers
and
munition
,
throughly
to
defend
it selfe
against
the
power
of
Princes
,
&
practises
of
warlike
people
,
yea
as
they
in
peace
can
vse
this
approued
patience
,
so
in
the
hottest
broiles
of
the
warre
the
hope
to
ouercome
the
cruelty
of
their
enemies
,
doth
redouble
their
courages
,
and
so
with
a
resolute
minde
,
the
Cannon
they
approch
,
the
combate
they
present
,
and
the
present
daunger
is
presently
forgotten
,
a
present
matter
of
great
moment
to
be
in
the
presence
and
presented
before
the
vniuersall
people
placed
vnder
the
cope
of
the
heauens
.
But
yet
I
can
not
leaue
out
the
mind
they
haue
of
honour
in
greatest
extremities
,
for
minding
the
preseruation
of
Prince
and
countrey
,
they
clap
on
such
a
minde
as
Mucius
Sceuola
did
,
that
burned
his
hande
in
the
●ire
,
for
missing
the
killing
of
Porcena
.
They
care
not
in
like
sort
for
imprisonment
,
penury
,
hunger
,
torting
,
racking
,
but
can
suffer
all
manner
of
misery
,
as
want
of
meat
,
lacke
of
liberty
,
and
open
aire
,
and
lie
on
the
hard
earth
or
bare
strawe
,
to
kéepe
their
enemies
out
of
the
Fort
or
hould
committed
to
their
charge
,
yea
and
in
respect
of
the
loue
they
loyally
beare
to
their
Countrey
,
they
suffer
many
a
mortall
wound
,
and
in
the
end
offer
themselues
to
the
death
,
manifestly
to
showe
,
that
a
man
is
but
his
minde
,
and
the
minde
is
it
that
makes
the
man
,
both
famous
&
immortall
.
Now
to
the
contrary
come
to
the
nature
and
condition
of
a
Coward
,
whose
minde
is
neuer
to
do
any
noble
act
,
for
he
that
can
beare
the
infamy
and
blot
of
that
name
,
to
be
called
a
Coward
,
liues
carelesse
of
all
other
villanies
,
and
no
reproche
,
slaunder
,
shamefull
report
,
fowle
fact
,
or
what
filthines
can
be
rehearsed
▪
may
make
him
blushe
,
his
miserable
minde
is
so
monstrous
,
that
all
soiles
,
kingdomes
,
and
countries
are
alike
for
him
to
liue
in
,
and
as
a
countrey
cur
delightes
to
gnaw
a
bone
on
a
midding
,
so
he
is
fed
fatte
(
among
wretches
of
the
world
)
with
folly
,
beastlines
,
lewd
behauiour
,
and
a
number
of
naughty
conditions
,
neither
fit
to
be
followed
,
nor
néedefull
to
be
written
of
.
The
studient
that
mindes
nothing
so
much
as
learning
,
takes
such
a
pleasure
and
felicity
in
hearing
and
reading
new
deuises
and
auncient
authors
,
that
his
Bookes
are
onely
his
companions
,
and
solitary
places
,
the
swéete
soiles
of
his
repaire
,
and
he
holdeth
time
so
precious
an●
deere
,
that
he
spends
in
Idlenes
no
one
howre
of
the
day
,
and
hath
such
glory
in
gaining
of
knowledge
,
shal
he
makes
no
account
of
any
other
Treasure
,
(
knowing
that
he
that
hath
vertue
is
next
vnto
God
)
nor
delighteth
in
any
society
or
company
,
but
such
as
are
learned
,
wise
,
graue
and
honest
,
and
when
long
labour
and
study
hath
gathered
the
swéete
Sap
of
Iudgement
(
as
the
Bée
hath
sucked
Hony
from
the
flowres
)
he
writeth
new
volumes
,
and
setteth
out
such
workes
and
pamphlets
,
as
may
merite
commendation
,
and
purchase
credite
and
benefite
,
and
be
accepted
and
embraced
among
all
posterities
,
that
mind
hath
a
naturall
disposition
in
all
diuine
graces
,
and
that
mind●
is
as
a
day
watch
to
the
body
▪
and
stands
as
a
strong
Guard
to
the
Soule
and
euerlasting
renown
.
The
ignoraunt
minde
that
hates
education
,
and
despiseth
knowledge
,
is
an
enemy
to
himselfe
and
all
common
wealthes
,
most
currish
and
rude
of
condition
,
barbarous
and
sauage
,
as
an
vn●amed
beast
,
he
swels
and
powts
,
like
a
Tode
to
heare
the
praise
of
a
good
man
,
and
mindes
nor
loues
nothing
but
blockishnesse
,
ribawdry
,
and
corrupt
manners
,
and
hath
so
naughty
an
inclination
,
and
is
subiect
to
so
many
defectes
and
deformities
,
that
this
naught
and
lewde
minde
is
not
necessary
to
bee
knowen
among
men
,
nor
made
mention
of
where
noble
minds
are
estéemed
.
Now
in
generall
,
let
euery
particular
man
here
somewhat
of
himselfe
.
There
are
some
kinde
of
men
,
made
of
so
fine
a
moulde
,
whose
mindes
may
not
suffer
them
to
here
,
beholde
,
touch
,
or
come
neare
any
lothsome
or
vncleane
thing
,
such
mindes
disdaines
to
offend
the
sight
,
(
which
is
a
cleare
candle
of
life
)
with
vnseemely
shoes
,
and
will
not
haue
the
Soule
defiled
with
conceiuing
of
filt●y
matters
▪
that
moues
a
general
misliking
in
the
whole
Iudgement
,
and
euery
part
of
the
body
and
minde
to
abhorre
the
vnderstanding
of
any
foule
and
infectious
thing
,
either
ministred
by
talke
,
or
vttered
by
vew
in
open
assembly
.
Another
sort
of
base
minded
fellowes
haue
their
onely
ioye
in
fruitlesse
babble
,
foolish
fancies
and
offensiue
wordes
,
that
thunders
in
the
aire
and
corrupts
good
maners
,
that
fils
a
house
full
of
clamors
and
bruite
,
and
makes
a
fewe
Idiots
laugh
,
and
many
wise
men
lowre
,
but
these
haerbraine
tratlers
and
fantasticall
minded
mates
striuing
to
haue
all
the
talke
themselues
,
(
and
glorying
to
here
their
owne
voice
)
do
sodainly
become
so
audacious
and
bolde
,
that
they
are
not
onely
a
trouble
to
the
whole
company
,
but
likewise
a
disquietnes
to
themselues
,
as
apparauntlye
falleth
out
,
for
when
such
vaine
glorious
minded
marchaunts
are
knowen
and
perceiued
,
they
are
glad
that
first
can
be
rid
of
their
fellowship
and
society
.
A
graue
and
modest
minded
man
looks
into
a
statelier
kind
of
life
,
and
skornes
to
open
his
mouth
but
in
causes
of
credite
,
and
matter
of
great
moment
▪
and
then
the
wel
couched
spéeches
(
and
swéete
spised
sentences
)
comes
flowing
from
his
tongue
,
as
the
faire
water
spouteth
from
the
fountain
,
a
man
of
that
aduisednes
carries
an
easy
hand
ouer
the
rash
multitude
,
and
gathers
to
his
minde
a
greater
knowledge
of
the
course
of
this
world
,
and
euen
as
the
persing
songs
and
musicall
harmony
of
the
Nightingale
reioyseth
the
hearts
of
the
hearers
,
so
the
sweete
tempred
talke
of
a
wise
Orator
,
drawes
the
eares
of
the
audience
after
him
,
and
leades
them
in
a
string
that
haue
anye
motion
and
minde
of
vertue
,
or
can
consider
the
value
&
worth
of
such
a
well
minded
man
.
The
merry
and
pleasant
companion
in
his
kinde
,
beares
another
disposition
,
for
his
minde
is
so
delightfull
,
that
his
tonge
is
like
a
Taber
and
a
Pipe
,
prettily
playing
and
gibing
on
euery
mans
mannors
,
and
he
that
carries
this
minde
is
continually
tuning
him selfe
(
as
a
Minstrell
were
tempring
and
wresting
of
his
Instrument
)
to
pleasure
with
sports
the
dumpishe
people
,
that
sits
listning
to
heare
some
straunge
pastime
,
but
in
this
merry
minde
are
many
humors
that
are
fedde
with
some
sharpe
and
bitter
conceits
,
which
often
turns
to
ouer
bol●
boording
,
and
yet
a
well
ordered
minde
can
smoothly
cast
a
clowde
cunningly
on
the
matter
,
to
auoide
all
suspition
,
and
to
bringe
the
world
in
beliefe
,
a
merry
fellow
for
the
solasing
of
his
own
minde
,
hath
free
scope
and
liberty
to
ride
by
his
neighbours
,
and
yet
keepe
euery
one
cleane
from
dashing
,
and
he
himselfe
to
be
taken
as
a
man
,
whose
mind
meanes
alwaies
to
make
all
the
company
merry
.
A
greedy
minded
groaper
of
this
world
,
lookes
solemnly
on
all
thinges
he
goes
about
,
and
in
a
surly
sort
and
fashion
,
stands
bending
the
browes
,
and
frowning
at
a
number
of
accidents
he
beholdes
,
his
talke
is
of
bargaines
,
purchases
,
buildings
,
and
prises
of
each
thing
that
commeth
to
the
market
,
and
mindeth
so
much
his
priuate
gaine
and
profite
,
that
he
forgets
both
common
wealth
and
countrey
,
neuer
merry
but
when
his
money
and
bags
be
vnder
his
Elbow
,
and
alwaies
sad
when
hee
must
depart
with
any
great
sum●e
and
payment
,
though
double
benefite
proceede
from
the
same
,
a
minde
ready
to
doe
wrong
,
and
a
body
neuer
apte
to
doe
seruice
in
warres
,
nor
liue
quietly
without
brabble
in
peace
.
The
vnthrift
,
or
more
properly
called
a
player
at
al
manner
of
games
sets
his
minde
so
earnestly
thereon
,
that
he
will
los●
meat
,
sleepe
and
rest
,
to
winne
somewat
by
gaming
,
many
times
practising
to
packe
the
Cards
,
and
cogge
the
Dice
,
sodenly
moued
for
a
little
losse
to
fall
into
a
great
fury
,
a
minde
that
couets
al
,
and
makes
no
conscience
if
it
be
at
play
to
beguile
his
companion
,
yet
many
of
them
haue
such
minde
to
be
called
fair
players
,
that
they
are
as
carelesse
what
they
lose
,
as
they
are
desirous
to
gaine
,
but
if
the
losse

Pigeon

they
minde
nothing
more
then
a

to
take
a

or

blowe
,
and
of
all
the

that
men
are
subiect
to
(
before
mentioned
)
there
is
no
minde
more
to
be
marked
then
this
in
any
man
,
for
euen
as
his
losse
or
gaine
is
,
so
are
his
lookes

countenaunce
,
and
so
are
his
outwarde
showes
of
gladnesse
,
and
his
inwarde
conceites
of
sorrowe
.
The
Uenerian
,
whose
minde
mastereth
his
body
,
and
subdues
all
the
good
parts
of
the
same
,
his
fancies
and
imaginations
flies
swifter
then
the
Swallow
,
and
seldome
or
neuer
satisfied
with
no
one
conquest
or
other
,
goeth
drawing
like
a
bloud-hound
after
a
stricken
Deere
,
and
taking
sent
of
some
sute
and
finding
perssy
followes
with
open
mouth
,
secret
traps
and
chargeable
expenses
,
till
minde
or
body

or
both
be
a
weary
,
and
credite
be
brought
in
question
,
or
cracked
so
sore
,
that
good
name
is
past
recouery
.
Then
desperately
he
dare
enter
into
any
quarrell
of
a
combate
,
and
put
in
hazarde
and
daunger
life
and
goods
,
and
he
that
puts
on
this
minde
,
dwels
not
onely
in
a
great
ouerweyning
of
himselfe
,
but
commonly
condemnes
all
others
that
are
not
of
the
like
nature
and
condition
.
The
Flatterer
that
frames
his
minde
to
all
manner
of
dissimulation
,
can
play
the
Cameleon
,
to
dazell
the
ei●s
and
vnderstanding
of
the
wise
,
and
abusing
the
best
sort
of
people
,
the
base
and
meanest
of
degree
,
are
brought
quickly
to
beleeue
that
subtilty
is
simplenesse
,
and
great
suerty
remaines
in
muffled
manners
,
the
Flatterer
finding
his
falshood
fauoured
,
so
besturres
himselfe
like
a
Wolfe
among
sheepe
,
and
finely
feedes
on
the
fattest
flocke
,
and
the
wily
Foxe
carries
no
more
crafte
in
his
head
,
then
the
fine
flatterer
beares
in
his
double
and
deceiptfull
minde
.
The
theefe
that
sets
his
mind
wholy
on
robb●ry
,
spoyle
,
and
ransacking
of
the
rich
,
or
whosoeuer
hee
may
wrong
,
gropes
out
a
wealthy
mans
budget
,
as
a
Ratt
smells
out
a
rosted
peece
of
cheese
,
and
hauing
a
wretched
minde
to
liue
on
such
cheats
that
are
gotten
by
such
chaunce
,
hee
chuseth
no
other
trade
to
trie
what
his
villanous
mind
will
bring
him
to
,
or
what
may
happen
on
a
resolute
roy●●ing
,
which
comes
to
no
greater
regarde
but
the
reward
of
a
gallows
,
the
ill
opinion
of
good
men
,
and
the
open
paltring
exercises
of
a
bad
mind
.
The
Shifter
that
shuffles
vp
a
borrowing
life
makes
a
purchase
of
picking
his
Creditors
purses
,
his
minde
is
euer
to
bee
néedy
because
hee
minds
neuer
to
pay
peece
of
his
det
,
and
still
cryes
out
of
Fortune
,
when
his
owne
folly
plagues
him
,
claiming
recompence
for
seruice
where
no
desart
(
nor
ablenes
to
doe
good
turne
)
may
pleade
in
his
behalfe
,
yet
by
braggs
and
boastes
hee
makes
a
show
to
haue
done
manie
wonders
,
hauing
no
great
courage
in
warres
nor
good
qualitie
in
peace
,
but
as
a
gracelesse
Grome
,
glad
to
shifte
and
shéeld
his
féeble
abillitie
vnder
the
title
of
a
Souldier
,
maruelous
is
that
meaning
and
mischéeuous
is
that
minde
that
liues
and
dies
both
in
want
of
wealth
,
wit
and
all
manly
reputation
,
a
beggerie
base
minde
scarce
woorthy
the
bearing
about
or
harbor
in
any
honest
body
.
The
Enuious
minde
hides
his
malice
,
as
smothring
smoke
lies
lurking
in
wet
stubble
or
strawe
,
and
when
his
furie
bursteth
abroade
in
flames
some
whole
Famely
or
houshould
is
burnt
or
blemished
bee
sclaunderous
brute
,
and
this
stinging
&
serpenting
Snake
,
being
long
nourished
in
the
wicked
&
warme
bosome
of
a
hatefull
man
,
bespreads
his
venome
throughout
all
the
vitall
parts
of
the
bodie
,
so
that
no
member
nor
lyneamīt
thereof
serues
to
expresse
any
goodnesse
,
and
the
tongue
is
alwaies
clapping
and
caueling
at
euery
matter
spoken
off
or
ministred
only
to
keepe
the
cankred
mind
accustomed
in
maddnes
and
malice
.
The
Princely
and
noble
mind
where
bounty
(
the
locke
and
key
of
loue
)
is
as
busie
as
a
Bee
in
a
hiue
that
brings
forth
hony
for
the
benefite
of
others
,
and
the
bountifull
minde
thinketh
it selfe
dishonored
,
if
it
receaue
any
seruice
,
good
turne
,
frée
gifte
or
good
will
,
and
the
same
returne
not
againe
with
ten
times
treble
fold
thankes
and
reward
.
For
this
princelie
minde
is
euer
imagining
how
it
may
get
friendes
and
make
enemies
reform
themselues
from
malice
,
yea
furthermore
this
minde
is
so
honorable
,
liberall
,
and
desirous
to
win
the
fauor
of
good
people
,
that
it
studies
where
it
may
bestow
some
acceptable
gifte
,
and
fastning
the
same
on
a
gratefull
person
,
this
mind
remaynes
in
such
●ollitie
and
gladnes
as
it
had
wonne
a
whole
world
,
and
setteth
more
store
by
a
Friend
gotten
in
this
manner
,
than
of
a
hundred
enemies
ouercome
by
perforce
.
The
sparing
and
niggardly
mind
that
spies
out
aduauntage
of
gathering
and
whording
vp
riches
,
spends
manie
wordes
in
faire
promises
(
whiles
hée
cunningly
hold●
his
owne
)
meaning
small
performaunce
of
many
great
offers
,
and
yet
in
a
kinde
of
vaine
glory
hee
intertaines
both
the
time
and
the
people
with
trifels
that
makes
a
great
shew
of
a
franke
and
free
hart
,
when
the
minde
is
miserably
bent
to
saue
and
gather
together
ill
gotten
goodes
to
laie
vp
in
coffer
and
corners
for
a
prodigall
son
,
or
a
ryotous
heyre
,
whose
mind
is
as
much
set
on
spoyling
that
hee
found
as
the
father
was
enclyned
to
spare
that
hee
got
,
but
the
nigards
minde
hath
such
quenchles
thirst
to
drinke
vp
the
drosse
and
dong
of
this
earth
,
that
no
kinde
of
good
Fortune
,
wordly
wealth
,
or
aboundance
can
moderate
and
satisfie
his
couetous
lust
that
Lucar
hath
set
on
fire
,
in
the
flaming
dungeon
and
furnace
of
his
nigardly
minde
.
The
prodigall
mind
that
spends
without
respect
,
and
giues
without
regard
,
as
pu●t
vp
in
such
a
pride
of
it selfe
,
that
it
waxeth
imperious
,
lordly
,
and
loftie
in
a
conceiued
conceit
of
laciuious
charges
,
bestowed
on
the
fawners
and
flatterers
of
our
dayes
,
whose
creeping
and
currying
of
fauor
,
makes
our
young
maister
beleeue
there
is
no
ende
of
his
spending
,
and
that
the
more
hee
flings
and
casts
away
,
the
more
good
fellows
will
follow
him
and
the
lesse
his
estimation
and
riches
shall
waste
&
diminish
.
For
in
giuing
either
goodes
and
landes
to
the
dayly
féeders
of
his
prodigall
humor
,
hée
thinkes
he
receiues
an
euerlasting
renowne
,
fame
,
and
credit
,
among
the
lustie
crue
of
good
companions
,
and
his
mind
carries
him
so
farre
into
the
altituds
that
he
hopes
for
vnknowne
happs
and
trusts
that
mountains
of
Gold
,
&
the
conquest
of
the
verie
Indians
it selfe
is
alotted
to
bée
his
portion
,
and
whosoeuer
restraines
him
from
anye
peece
of
his
purpose
,
enkindleth
his
minde
rather
to
make
a
soone
dispach
of
all
that
hee
hath
,
than
to
bee
long
in
consuming
the
mucke
and
drosse
of
this
world
,
which
a
prodigall
mind
wil
neither
bee
taught
how
to
vse
,
nor
how
to
consider
well
off
but
to
his
owne
liking
.
The
rebellious
minde
that
séekes
but
blood
,
sedition
,
change
of
state
and
gouernement
,
makes
a
man
runne
gadding
like
a
Gosling
to
listen
after
news
,
and
alteration
of
Religion
,
as
nothing
could
please
him
but
forrayne
follies
,
and
strange
tyrranie
,
murmuring
,
and
finding
faulte
with
Countries
quietnesse
,
and
desirous
of
troublesome
seruitude
,
or
at
least
willing
to
see
some
sodaine
sturre
,
and
strange
accidents
.
This
mischieuous
and
male-contented
mind
,
is
swift
to
sow
discord
and
shed
innocent
blood
,
and
slow
to
saue
his
owne
credit
&
Countrey
,
ready
and
apt
to
forget
God
,
and
most
vnwilling
to
forgiue
any
iniurie
,
a
beginner
of
all
brable
and
contention
,
and
a
mayntayner
of
all
execrable
acts
and
enterprises
.
Now
passing
ouer
the
rusticall
rable
of
Rogues
,
Uacabounds
,
Ruffians
,
Roysters
,
and
rancke
Rebels
,
(
whose
mischieuous
minds
surmounts
all
the
rest
in
villanie
,
filthynes
,
reueling
,
rudenes
,
trecherie
,
and
treasons
,
the
fruites
whereof
are
but
beggery
,
banishment
,
and
wretchednesse
,
that
brings
the
maislers
of
that
misrule
to
Tiborne
,
&
a
shamefull
end
,
)
I
come
to
the
malicious
mindes
of
our
Forrein
enemies
(
many
in
number
)
that
are
so
drowned
in
a
deadly
desire
of
hatred
,
wilfulnes
,
obstinacie
,
papistrie
,
and
old
worm-eaten
Religion
,
that
they
cannot
see
nor
well
vnderstand
what
they
goe
about
.
There
minds
carries
them
headlong
into
many
hellish
&
damnable
deuises
,
making
account
of
that
which
neuer
shall
be
there
own
I
hope
,
and
making
their
boast
of
conquest
,
victorie
,
&
triumph
,
before
they
dare
fight
for
it
,
or
attempt
manly
to
trie
,
who
shall
finde
Fortune
most
fauourable
,
&
what
partie
hath
God
&
the
right
of
their
side
.
And
further
to
bee
marueled
at
(
a
matter
most
monstruous
in
iudgement
)
they
were
come
into
our
C●astes
in
ships
of
great
burthen
,
fraught
&
filled
with
great
riches
,
munition
,
and
men
,
hauing
in
the

to
countenaunce
their
quarrell
numbers
of
Noble

,
Friers
,
Priests
,
English
Traytors
,
Spanish
Women
,
and
such

as
were
come
to
possesse
a
Country
&
kingdom
that
easily
should
bee
gotten
,
which
kingdome
is
so
noblie
peopled
and
furnished
that
I
doubt
not
but
the
sight
and
bare
vew
of
this
stoute

shall
make
the
Spaniards
abashed

(
to
proue
A

our
Enemies
haue
such
minds
to
doe

and
haue
such
hope
that
they
are
appoynted
to

the

that
they

haue
commission
to
kill
man
,
woman

,
and
to
saue
none
aboue
the
age
of
seauen
yeare
old
,
loe
heere
is
a
goodly
mind
,
a
goodly
commission
,
and
a
goodly
sorte
of
Fooles
,
that
thinks
so
populous
a
Countrey
as
this
will
be
so
soone
supplanted
,
a
wise
companie
of
wild
Geese
,
that
with
a
little
gagling
and
thrusting
out
the
necke
,
beleeus
to
bring
to
passe
so
great
a
matter
,
you
neuer
heard
of
more
madder
minded
men
than
these
are
,
that
came
to
sit
downe
in
other
mens
houses
,
before
they
knew
the
good
will
of
their
Hosts
,
and
bow
déerely
they
were
like
to
pay
for
the
purchase
,
ere
they
shold
make
their
entry
,
or
set
their
féet
on
any
péece
of
this
Land
,
and
by
my
troth
they
goe
about
a
pretty
Bargaine
to
offer
the
sheeding
of
so
much
blood
,
and
especially
do
bring
hither
so
paltring
a
Commission
,
so
voide
of
Christianitie
,
and
shall
cost
so
manie
a
broken
head
,
before
any
iott
or
parcell
of
the
same
commaundement
be
put
in
execution
.
Now
heere
is
to
bee
spoken
and
treated
of
good
and
godly
mindes
that
peaceably
shall
possesse
their
soules
in
patience
,
&
these
patient
mindes
,
are
those
that
sees
other
men
preferd
(
as
the
affection
of
some
will
haue
it
so
)
and
beholdes
themselues
abiects
,
that
neither
want
,
vertue
,
nor
valiance
,
yea
they
find
few
good
turnes
and
suffer
many
iniuries
boastes
little
of
their
seruice
,
and
are
greatly
to
be
praysed
,
being
men
of
good
years
,
and
experience
,
and
yet
of
bad
Fortune
and
ability
,
fauoured
of
some
that
can
doe
but
little
for
them
,
yet
holpen
or
aided
of
no
one
body
that
haue
power
to
aduaunce
them
,
the
men
of
this
minde
makes
much
of
a
little
and
seldome
comes
to
any
greate
portion
,
and
so
because
mine
owne
desteny
is
not
the
best
,
and
being
loath
to
put
on
a
worse
minde
then
now
last
I
haue
spoken
of
,
I
knit
vp
all
this
discourse
in
these
fewe
wordes
,
and
thus
I
bid
you
farewell
.
Hoping
that
the
mindes
of
men
,
(
though
they
are
seuerall
in
disposition
)
will
now
draw
all
in
one
yoke
to
hold
out
the
enemies
of
our
Countrey
,
and
to
stand
together
against
all
forraine
inuasions
,
and
forget
all
kinde
of
quarrelling
among
our selues
,
that
often
times
hath
bred
in
manie
kingdomes
ciuile
warres
and
sorrowfull
dissentions
.
The
plagues
and
plaine
examples
therof
being
well
waighed
,
will
(
I
doubt
not
)
make
our
noble
Nation
be
not
only
mindful
of
their
libertie
and
honor
,
but
in
like
manner
make
vs
all
of
one
good

resolution
,
courage
,
and
manhood

I
would
haue
searched
the
bottome
of
my
studies
and
chiefest
of
my
labors
(
good
Sir
Edward
Dimmocke
)
if
my
leasure
had
serued
,
to
haue
found
out
some
peece
of
worke
worthy
of
your
reading
,
but
doubting
that
verse
delightes
you
not
,
&
Tragicall
discourses
breeds
but
a
heauie
conceit
in
a
pleasant
disposition
,
I
thought
it
more
fitter
to
treat
of
a
Marshiall
cause
(
wherein
great
honor
consists
)
that
may
moue
many
considerations
in
a
noble
minde
,
and
so
not
only
stir
vp
vertue
but
also
beat
downe
all
occasions
that
hinders
the
quiet
&
sweet
societie
of
men
,
not
meaning
that
I
see
any
motion
,
cause
,
or
action
in
this
age
,
that
may
procure
my
pen
to
go
beyond
the
compas
of
my
reach
in
reforming
the
same
:
but
to
shew
there
is
no
greater
blessednes
on
earth
then
freindly
felowship
and
amitie
among
men
,
and
all
the
disturbers
thereof
are
rather
instruments
of
dissention
,
than
mayntainers
of
good
will
.
And
for
that
in
your
long
trauells
abroad
(
where
variaunce
is
moderated
with
wisdome
)
manie
quarrells
you
haue
seene
or
heard
off
,
I
haue
written
a
little
peece
of
the
nature
of
a
quarrell
compounded
on
many
accidents
,
not
teaching
anye
man
a
newe
course
&
peaceable
order
to
his
life
,
but
to
nourish
gentlenes
&
kindlie
loue
among
all
our
noble
nation
.
So
trusting
no
matter
of
mislike
shal
passe
my
Pen
,
I
present
you
with
this
little
peece
of
paper
that
follows
,
wishing
you
the
good
fame
and
honor
your
own
hart
can
desire
.
A
Discourse
of
true
Manhoode
.
AMid
the
wickednes
of
a
naughtie
world
quarells
,
hatred
,
and
headstrong
people
,
a
bridled
mind
knowes
not
what
pace
to
hotde
,
nor
steppes
to
tread
,
and
where
madnesse
shews
furie
,
&
world
mayntaynes
follye
,
wise
‛
al●mon
(
were
hee
heere
)
could
not
reforme
the
defect
of
this
wilful
age
,
which
neither
regards
God
,
good
Gouernours
,
nor
naturall
loue
or
order
.
And
where
libertie
in
mans
wilfulnes
is
proclaymed
good
rule
and
lawe
is
not
known
,
and
rud
rashnes
runs
so
farre
beyond
reason
,
that
euery
sencible
creature
doth
wonder
at
,
and
stands
astonied
at
the
stubberne
wickednes
of
mans
vnstayed
mind
,
which
growes
so
blood
thirstie
and
eager
after
life
,
that
it
seeketh
nothing
but
death
and
destruction
,
in
a
manner
of
his
owne
proper
brother
,
which
was
horrible
in
Cain
,
and
may
bee
odious
in
all
kind
of
Christians
.
Among
beasts
(
that
wants
reason
)
remaynes
no
such
crueltie
.
For
now
a
dayes
men
may
not
meete
without
snarring
,
lostie
lookes
,
bitter
wordes
,
haughty
fashions
,
and
froward
behauioure
,
on
which
stoutnes
of
stomacke
,
malice
is
kindled
,
contention
is
breed
,
and
quarrells
are
set
abroach
.
The
accustomed
curtesie
,
sweete
conuersation
,
freindle
gentlenes
,
humane
manners
,
and
ciuile
humblnes
in
our
common
societie
,
is
almost
forgotten
,
brought
in
contempt
,
and
put
out
of
exercise
(
if
Noble
Parsonages
shew
it
not
)
and
in
place
of
the
commendable
vertues
are
corrupt
conditions
and
newfangled
vices
closely
crept
,
to
the
great
disquietnes
of
many
,
and
commoditie
of
no
one
person
.
And
now
briefly
to
come
to
the
cause
of
this
my
bold
argument
,
my
short
worke
shall
only
touch
the
terrible
brawels
,
that
lately
(
on
the
shew
of
manhood
)
are
sprong
vp
among
vs
,
&
nourished
to
long
in
the
stoute
courages
of
men
.
A
matter
more
meeter
to
bee
lamented
than
mayntayned
,
and
a
new
deuised
wilfulnesse
that
our
old
Fathers
taught
vs
not
,
nor
scarsely
was
known
,
till
our
youth
beganne
to
trauell
straunge
Countreys
,
and
so
brought
home
strange
manners
.
It
must
be
graunted
and
necessarie
to
bee
allowed
that
weapons
shall
be
worne
(
alwaies
of
equall
length
)
and
vsed
in
causes
of
defence
.
And
further
for
slaunders
,
naughtie
reports
in
absence
,
and
present
spitfull
speaches
,
men
ought
for
the
mayntenance
of
good
name
,
somtimes
vse
an
lawfull
manner
of
correction
(
this
spoken
not
of
the
scripture
)
for
the
sharpe
sworde
makes
a
blunt
blockhead
beware
how
hee
vseth
his
tongue
,
and
if
bold
bablers
were
not
snibbed
for
their
sawsines
,
this
world
would
bee
full
of
talkatiue
merchants
,
and
no
man
would
care
what
he
spoke
,
if
wordes
should
not
be
wisely
set
to
sale
,
and
in
the
end
of
an
ill
market
be
dearly
bought
.
For
it
is
not
fit
that
euery
man
should
goe
to
Law
(
about
a
trifle
)
nor
necessarie
blood
should
be
shed
,
whatsoeuer
in
manhoods
behalf
I
haue
spoken
:
wel
:
to
come
to
my
purposed
matter
.
In
the
old
time
the
sight
of
England
was
daungerous
but
not
deadly
,
couragious
not
cruell
,
valiant
but
not
villanous
,
and
most
nobly
vsed
oftimes
without
anye
great
harme
,
in
which
season
men
were
as
great
Conquerors
as
they
be
now
(
let
Fraunce
and
Scotland
witnes
)
as
loath
to
offend
as
men
be
at
this
presens
,
when
rapier
fight
is
more
desperate
And
generally
then
were
as
good
men
,
as
valiant
and
venturous
,
as
now
can
bee
found
,
and
yet
they
stoode
not
vppon
such
tearmes
,
and
quarrels
as
men
doe
now
adayes
,
a
thousand
iniuries
could
then
bee
forgiuen
,
if
they
had
eased
their
hearts
a
little
at
the
sharpe
weapon
,
now
life
is
sought
in
England
for
an
Italian
lie
,
and
nothing
but
blood
and
death
can
pacifie
mens
furies
,
men
are
become
such
Cockes
of
the
game
,
they
must
fight
in
a
sharppe
,
scrat
out
each
others
eyes
,
and
thirst
so
much
for
blood
,
that
nothing
can
mitigate
their
wrath
till
one
bee
out
of
the
world
,
and
the
other
bée
fled
God
knowes
whither
.
A
prettie
quarrell
that
compells
men
to
bée
fugitiues
,
for
playing
of
beastly
parts
and
bringeth
such
repentaunce
as
breedeth
both
beggerie
and
extremitie
of
Fortune
,
and
namely
when
friends
shall
forsake
you
,
and
weeping
can
not
helpe
.
For
whilst
law
persecuteth
the
offender
,
the
world
is
like
a
Laborinth
,
&
endles
is
the
labor
and
trouble
of
that
bodie
that
thinks
euery
man
follows
him
.
In
the
olde
world
when
swords
of
one
length
and
heartes
of
equal
courage
did
meet
,
some
in
differencie
debated
the
matter
,
and
fewe
were
put
to
foile
,
and
many
were
worthely
esteemed
for
their
value
.
And
now
when
the
rapier
and
dagger
dispatcheth
a
man
quickly
,
neither
he
liues
to
heare
his
owne
fame
,
nor
no
man
liuing
can
let
fall
a
good
word
of
the
quarrell
,
begun
of
such
trifles
,
maintaind
with
such
terror
,
and
ended
with
such
madnes
,
not
so
manly
as
miserable
nor
so
much
praised
among
the
fool
hardy
,
as
condemned
in
the
consideration
of
the
wise
.
And
so
to
come
to
the
right
order
of
manhood
,
courage
,
valiancy
,
and
stoutnes
of
heart
,
it
lieth
more
in
the
Iudgement
then
in
the
iarring
,
in
the
fortitude
then
in
the
forwardnes
,
and
restes
more
in
the
modesty
then
in
the
malice
.
For
anger
of
it selfe
is
but
a
sencelesse
monster
,
an
vnreasonable
rage
,
a
furious
franzie
,
a
distemperate
imperfection
,
a
priuy
passion
of
choller
,
and
an
open
enemy
of
life
.
The
discouerer
of
the
frailty
and
naughty
nature
of
man
,
and
the
discredite
of
as
many
as
cannot
maister
that
outragious
disease
of
the
minde
.
Then
how
should
the
fury
of
mallice
bring
forth
any
other
fruict
,
but
such
a
pestiferous
fire
,
as
shall
consume
the
beginners
of
hatred
,
and
the
last
reuengers
of
wretched
wroth
.
For
reuenge
is
like
a
winde
ball
the
more
it
is
stricken
(
and
remembred
with
force
of
hand
)
the
higher
it
mountes
,
&
makes
the
more
rebound
,
so
that
endlesse
becomes
a
quarrell
,
so
long
as
the
exercise
of
mallice
is
had
in
vre
,
and
men
with
euill
disposition
goe
about
to
store
vp
mischiefe
.
Now
is
to
be
decided
euery
degrée
and
manner
of
a
quarrel
,
and
to
shew
how
and
in
what
sort
an
vniust
quarrell
may
bee
offered
,
and
a
iust
quarrel
may
be
taken
,
both
by
law
of
armes
and
nature
,
and
by
a
vsuall
custome
and
manner
among
men
,
prouing
by
antiquities
and
art
military
,
the
matter
purposed
to
treat
vppon
so
that
with
patience
you
here
out
that
may
bée
spoken
.
As
it
is
vnfit
for
a
Gentleman
(
that
stands
on
reputation
)
to
play
the
ruffian
and
roister
,
so
it
is
most
vncomely
for
him
to
stoupe
so
lowe
,
as
any
way
to
abase
his
good
calling
,
with
the
bad
conditions
of
a
rude
and
rusticall
fellowe
,
by
which
prerogatiue
the
match
is
vnmeete
,
the
quarrell
may
be
refused
,
the
strife
hath
no
equality
,
nor
no
honesty
is
gotten
in
brawling
with
inferiors
or
fighting
with
men
of
so
small
temperancy
and
credit
,
but
because
most
stoutnes
and
courage
(
with
hazard
of
life
is
betweene
Gentlemen
)
and
trifles
not
taken
vp
growe
to
great
busines
,
their
quarrels
are
most
requisite
to
be
spoken
of
,
redressed
,
corrected
,
and
brought
to
better
order
.
First
yée
shall
finde
among
Souldiers
,
(
that
are
of
greate
mindes
)
a
kinde
of
stately
consideration
in
all
quarrels
they
take
in
hand
.
They
taking
vppon
them
in
the
art
military
(
which
well
becomes
their
calling
)
to
maintaine
honour
,
defend
their
countrey
and
credite
,
and
to
fight
in
no
quarrell
but
Princes
right
and
their
owne
honest
causes
,
haue
set
downe
by
certaine
cerimonies
,
what
wordes
may
touch
them
,
what
manner
of
men
they
may
deale
withall
,
what
occasions
may
force
a
combate
,
what
scope
&
liberty
pertaines
to
a
iust
quarrell
,
and
what
restraines
a
manly
minde
from
doing
iniury
to
others
or
harming
himselfe
.
On
which
resolution
the
Souldier
sets
vp
his
rest
,
and
commonly
hazards
the
winning
or
loosing
,
of
as
great
thing
as
life
may
be
worth
,
not
with
presumption
procured
to
this
danger
,
but
with
estimation
of
his
honor
haled
forewarde
(
by
daunger
of
enemy
)
to
leaue
good
example
to
those
that
comes
after
him
.
But
beholde
how
this
aduenture
happeneth
,
regard
the
circumstance
of
this
hazard
,
way
well
what
difficulty
is
aboute
the
matter
,
and
marke
the
chiefe
points
(
and
groundes
of
aduantage
)
that
breedeth
busines
,
and
bringeth
forth
a
combate
.
Then
must
be
noted
,
a
simple
Souldier
(
or
mercenary
man
)
may
not
challenge
a
Captaine
,
a
meane
Captaine
or
Centurion
may
not
challenge
a
Corronell
,
a
Corronell
(
though
leader
of
a
regiment
)
may
not
challenge
a
Lord
Marshall
of
the
Field
,
a
Lord
Marshall
(
hauing
charge
of
life
and
death
)
may
not
challenge
the
Lord
Lieutenant
of
the
Army
.
A●d
all
these
not
onely
in
time
of
seruice
(
for
auoiding
of
mutiny
)
but
at
all
seasons
,
are
bound
and
ought
to
keepe
themselues
from
brawling
,
(
yea
though
any
one
be
neerely
touched
)
and
seeking
the
combat
,
except
a
lie
hath
passed
,
a
slander
is
receiued
,
a
blow
be
giuen
,
a
mans
name
and
credite
be
foiled
,
and
a
quarrell
be
sought
so
narrowly
that
no
man
can
auoide
.
And
yet
all
these
degrees
(
as
their
office
and
honour
is
)
one
after
another
,
may
without
reproche
refuse
in
euery
place
,
the
daungering
of
their
liues
by
priuate
quarrell
,
&
not
meeting
one
another
by
chance
(
whereon
may
busines
growe
)
looke
what
so
euer
be
passed
,
(
villany
excepted
)
There
is
no
kinde
of
preiudice
to
any
partie
,
but
mallice
may
surcease
,
and
society
may
reuiue
friendship
▪
and
quietnes
should
of
all
hands
be
sought
.
Now
of
matter
ministred
in
despight
,
spoken
to
strike
dead
good
name
vttered
for
offence
and
brauery
,
let
fall
to
disgrace
any
person
,
and
maintained
with
threatnings
(
daring
and
other
open
iniu●ies
a
number
)
the
case
of
quietnes
is
altered
,
and
surely
no
nature
can
so
easely
disgest
those
extremities
,
but
shall
finde
occasion
of
dislike
,
and
a
great
motion
of
quarrell
.
Then
must
be
considered
,
the
cause
of
those
spéeches
,
the
persons
credite
that
spake
it
,
&
in
what
presence
and
place
the
iniury
was
offered
,
for
some
places
are
of
such
honour
,
that
no
dishonestye
may
bee
suffered
in
,
and
some
person
that
speakes
iniuries
in
base
company
(
out
of
honourable
presence
)
the
speakers
meane
calling
aunsweres
himselfe
,
for
wise
men
ought
to
make
no
more
account
of
a
badde
fellowes
babble
,
then
of
the
barking
of
an
olde
dog
,
whose
teeth
are
gone
and
can
not
bite
.
An
all
the
common
kinde
of
iniuries
are
but
as
men
do
imagine
them
,
as
scoulding
of
a
co●queane
,
railing
of
a
ruffian
,
taunting
of
a
tosseblade
,
frumping
of
fine
fellowes
,
and
the
brags
and
threatning
of
a
varlette
,
all
these
shamelesse
rabble
and
sencelesse
sort
of
shadowes
,
are
of
so
small
substaunce
and
credite
,
that
their
voices
makes
but
a
noise
in
the
aire
,
like
a
thunder
cracke
,
that
neither
brings
raine
,
nor
argues
any
constant
winde
and
weather
.
There
is
besides
these
ordinary
causes
,
(
and
crooked
conditions
of
people
)
a
number
of
naughty
natures
,
that
neuer
will
be
quiet
in
countenaunce
nor
wordes
,
but
either
with
skrowling
like
conquerors
,
or
skorning
like
vices
on
a
stage
,
they
striue
with
counterfaite
courage
to
ouercome
Lions
,
and
to
be
more
terrible
then
Tigres
,
snuffing
and
puffing
as
all
the
worlde
were
too
little
to
containe
their
great
lookes
,
and
disdainefull
monstrous
manners
.
And
their
tongues
are
so
talkatiue
(
and
filled
with
follies
)
that
none
may
speake
but
themselues
,
on
whose
prowde
presumptions
are
many
mad
disputes
wilfully
begon
and
moste
wickedly
ended
.
To
contend
with
those
glorious
Images
,
is
as
a
man
shoulde
sound
a
Trumpet
at
the
roaring
of
euery
bul.
Thus
with
extraordinary
manners
,
new fangled
fancies
,
olde
stubburne
nature
,
and
fresh
fine
cunning
,
that
wisedome
condemneth
,
a
good
minde
may
be
ouerreached
,
and
a
quiet
man
may
be
brought
in
some
quarrelous
brabble
,
for
the
sight
and
sufferaunce
of
these
shadowes
,
(
whose
substance
is
all
in
boasting
)
and
the
society
or
contention
with
such
counter●aite
conquerors
,
is
an
open
enemy
to
all
the
good
dispositions
of
men
,
and
a
priuy
worker
of
disquietnes
to
those
that
beholdes
and
heares
any
peece
or
iote
of
those
vices
before
rehearsed
,
for
nothing
bréedes
more
mislike
,
or
offendeth
so
much
euery
company
,
as
the
continuall
brags
and
audacious
manners
of
the
vnbrideled
multitude
,
who
are
neuer
free
from
quarrels
,
voide
of
villany
,
nor
without
naughty
brabbles
a
number
.
Come
now
to
generall
occasions
in
Court
,
Countrey
towne
and
so
foorth
,
but
principally
of
Court
we
ought
to
haue
greatest
regard
,
where
not
only
the
Prince
hold
residens
with
a
continuall
maiestie
,
but
likewise
by
absolute
power
commaunds
obedience
,
&
restraynes
Courtiars
many
wayes
from
offering
of
iniuries
.
For
plainely
to
speake
,
in
Chamber
of
presence
or
any
place
neere
(
or
about
a
Princes
pallace
)
mens
tongues
are
tyed
either
to
kéepe
silence
,
or
ciuilly
with
reuerence
to
vse
comly
wordes
,
méete
for
such
a
place
,
and
voyde
of
villanye
or
vicious
intents
,
chiefely
of
quarrels
that
may
moue
mischiefe
,
and
stirre
vp
disquietnes
among
the
gentle
Bees
assembled
together
in
a
Hiue
for
the
honoring
of
their
king
,
and
publique
profite
of
their
estate
.
The
Court
is
no
Cocke-pit
to
croe
in
,
no
shraep
for
cocking
,
no
seat
to
be
saucy
in
,
no
place
of
contention
,
nor
no
soile
for
brawlers
and
braggers
,
that
haue
currish
conditions
,
and
knowes
not
their
duety
,
but
rather
a
place
of
royall
dignity
,
princely
entertainements
,
curteous
behauiors
,
and
fine
and
friendly
fashions
,
that
with
orderly
manner
may
set
forth
a
Princes
regality
.
And
though
there
some
one
(
wanting
temperance
)
rashly
behaue
himselfe
and
with
warme
wordes
sturre
the
coales
of
a
wicked
quarrell
,
mens
dueties
in
generall
,
(
by
wisedome
)
should
either
quench
the
heat
thereof
,
or
cast
imbers
on
the
fire
,
that
the
fury
and
flame
should
not
burst
out
there
,
nor
be
disputed
of
any
other
where
to
the
preiudice
of
that
place
,
and
looke
what
is
offered
in
open
hearing
or
secret
whispering
(
that
may
sow
seedes
of
dissention
)
shoulde
be
trodden
vnder
foote
,
or
passed
ouer
with
sporting
,
among
the
best
iudgements
,
for
feare
least
a
little
braunch
of
spite
doe
sproute
vp
on
some
rash
spéeches
,
and
grow
out
of
order
,
both
past
remedy
,
and
beyond
the
bounds
of
good
manner
.
If
men
in
Court
were
as
carefull
to
keepe
peace
,
as
they
are
desirous
to
créepe
in
credite
,
or
common
society
should
attende
to
no
other
purpose
,
but
to
familiar
behauior
,
friendly
affection
,
brotherly
loue
,
and
blessednes
of
life
,
you
shall
behold
a
mutuall
agreement
among
all
kinde
of
creatures
at
their
first
méeting
,
the
birds
with
their
like
flées
and
feedes
together
,
and
in
theyr
manner
vse
a
kinde
of
reioysing
when
they
encounter
one
another
,
yea
and
taketh
part
with
their
fellowes
against
all
that
shall
offend
them
,
flocking
and
crying
as
they
may
together
in
multitudes
,
to
shew
their
naturall
inclination
,
and
how
they
al
doe
suffer
torment
,
by
the
disquietnes
of
one
bird
in
their
company
.
The
Bées
séeing
but
one
of
their
fraternity
troubled
or
angry
,
fly
all
in
a
swarme
on
euery
thing
offends
them
,
and
vseth
such
fury
for
reuenge
,
that
they
sting
and
hum
out
of
measure
.
The
Beasts
not
onely
agree
in
their
fashion
,
but
in
like
sort
takes
one
anothers
part
vehemently
:
and
chiefly
the
very
Hogs
ioyne
in
a
battaile
against
those
dogs
that
biteth
them
.
The
Fish
in
the
floud
swim
in
skulles
arming
themselues
against
their
enemies
,
and
you
shall
reade
in
Plinie
that
among
the
Dolphins
was
such
amity
▪
that
a
Dolphin
being
taken
prisoner
by
a
King
(
and
closely
kept
)
there
assembled
such
a
number
of
Dolphins
together
as
is
incredible
,
and
they
neuer
lefte
mourning
and
playning
▪
showing
by
sorrowfull
signes
the
dolour
taken
for
the
losse
of
their
companion
,
by
which
meanes
they
recouered
him
againe
of
the
King
.
Thus
if
Fish
,
Fowle
and
Beast
,
agrée
in
vnion
with
a
wonderful
league
of
amity
,
men
may
blush
to
behold
their
own
defects
and
Serpentine
natures
,
that
neuer
rests
hissing
,
stinging
and
casting
out
of
venome
,
bred
in
vaine
mindes
,
and
nourished
in
hatefull
brests
.
The
reason
that
man
beareth
,
and
the
forme
and
shape
of
his
noble
creation
,
should
be
an
euerlasting
remembraunce
to
moue
him
vnto
quietnes
,
especially
the
renowne
that
is
gotten
by
patience
and
fortitude
,
should
alwaies
kéepe
reasonable
men
from
rages
,
and
be
a
bulwarke
and
target
to
beare
of
quarrels
,
the
destruction
of
life
,
the
hour
glasse
of
death
,
and
the
whole
consumer
of
all
good
credite
.
It
is
to
be
presupposed
that
prowd
hearts
growes
so
Princely
,
and
euery
one
(
that
is
quarrelous
)
would
séeme
a
King
or
a
conquerour
,
yet
Princes
take
great
aduisement
before
they
breake
peace
,
and
cunningly
put
of
causes
of
warre
,
waying
the
innumerable
troubles
,
daungers
,
and
losses
that
pertaines
to
a
quarrell
,
but
the
generall
number
of
men
runs
headlong
into
mischiefe
,
casting
neither
perill
nor
hazard
,
as
all
our
life
and
fame
,
stood
on
slashing
,
cutting
,
roisting
,
and
striuing
for
vain-glory
.
In
our
Elders
daies
fighters
were
called
ruffians
,
and
ruffians
were
so
lothsome
,
that
no
honest
man
could
abide
their
company
.
If
seruing
men
which
alwaies
should
be
ciuile
,
had
quiet
&
sober
maisters
,
such
buckelers
with
pikes
,
such
swords
like
spits
,
and
such
long
great
daggers
should
not
bee
worne
The
weapon
and
countenaunce
(
by
maintainers
of
quarrels
)
may
cause
cowards
to
be
bold
,
and
cause
corage
to
catch
copper
or
creepe
closely
in
cornes
.
And
now
in
the
chiefe
and
highest
degree
of
quarrelling
,
where
see
you
iarres
,
questions
,
brawls
,
banding
,
and
the
rest
of
disorders
,
but
where
some
party
is
ouer
great
(
playing
on
aduantage
)
or
weapons
are
not
equall
,
except
it
be
among
noble
great
mindes
,
whose
valiauncy
can
neither
suffer
iniury
,
nor
abide
any
blemishe
of
honour
.
So
euen
now
to
them
this
worke
is
adressed
,
the
baser
sort
néedes
not
my
perswasions
,
nor
but
of
good
will
and
presumption
,
this
needeth
not
I
speake
of
.
The
whole
world
is
fraught
so
full
of
malice
,
that
the
least
occasion
can
be
ministred
,
bréedes
such
great
busines
,
that
quarrels
are
so
common
(
the
custome
thereof
so
olde
)
it
séemeth
nothing
straunge
to
beholde
murthers
,
odious
practises
,
shamefull
poisnings
▪
and
miserable
man
slaughters
.
In
Italy
,
a
simple
quarrell
but
once
conceiued
,
neuer
endes
till
death
hath
dispatched
peraduenture
both
the
parties
,
and
so
greedily
they
goe
to
take
away
life
,
that
all
the
mischiefe
can
be
imagined
is
put
in
exercises
without
delay
,
taking
breath
,
regard
of
God
,
feare
of
law
,
or
shame
of
the
world
,
so
blouddy
is
the
minde
,
the
body
sléepes
not
,
till
the
handes
haue
done
some
abhominable
outrage
.
The
minde
cannot
bee
in
quiet
,
til
open
folly
&
monstruous
madnes
haue
disturbed
the
whole
sences
,
and
brought
the
life
and
body
in
hazard
of
hell
fire
,
or
daunger
of
worldly
shame
:
these
are
the
fruits
of
fury
.
The
defects
of
nature
,
the
miseries
of
man
,
and
the
brutish
conditions
of
the
counterfaite
finesse
in
Italy
.
In
Fraunce
if
a
lie
may
bée
brought
in
by
circumstaunces
,
or
a
fine
quarrell
can
be
sifted
out
of
grosse
speeches
,
,
present
death
followes
,
or
perpetuall
hatred
is
set
abroach
,
wherein
murthers
are
committed
,
and
many
a
mischieuous
act
is
taken
in
hand
,
odious
to
beholde
,
and
a
great
horror
to
heare
,
but
most
vnchristianly
executed
.
And
so
generally
,
in
all
countreys
and
kingdoms
,
a
quarrell
once
begon
,
comes
to
butchery
and
bloudshed
,
and
commonly
growes
after
(
in
many
generations
and
kindreds
)
to
deadly
foed
,
and
shamelesse
slaughters
.
A
quarrell
in
property
&
nature
,
may
be
compared
to
many
bigge
barrels
of
Gun-powder
,
which
once
set
on
fire
,
flames
so
vehemently
,
that
euery
little
corne
thereof
,
is
throughout
consumed
,
and
the
blast
and
busines
it
makes
,
ouerthrowes
houses
,
beateth
downe
great
buildings
,
and
shakes
a
whole
towne
and
the
walles
thereof
in
sunder
.
Yea
euen
as
a
tennis
ball
,
the
harder
is
stricken
the
further
it
flieth
,
and
the
oftner
it
reboundeth
,
the
more
he
labors
that
strikes
it
:
so
a
sparke
of
spitefull
hatred
,
being
blowen
with
the
busy
bellowes
of
mallice
(
that
kindleth
coales
which
can
neuer
be
quenched
)
encreaseth
such
a
smoothering
smoke
and
fire
,
that
burnes
like
the
hill
of
Ethna
,
that
neuer
goeth
out
,
nor
wanteth
heate
,
and
fume
to
trouble
a
whole
countrey
.
And
one
especiall
point
is
alwaies
to
be
noted
(
in
the
naughty
nature
of
a
quarrell
)
that
whosoeuer
hath
done
any
iniury
or
giuen
a
wound
or
a
blow
,
neuer
can
auoide
daunger
and
vtter
destruction
,
without
some
amendes
made
,
crauing
of
pardon
,
open
repentance
,
or
secrete
working
of
friends
,
that
are
wearied
with
the
long
debating
of
the
matter
.
As
one
good
turne
doth
craue
another
,
so
an
Iniury
demands
a
quarrell
,
a
quarrell
bréedes
a
thousand
offences
,
offences
hardly
can
bee
forgotten
,
and
the
more
a
wrong
remaines
in
minde
,
●he
lesse
hope
is
of
forgiuing
the
fault
,
and
the
more
mischiefe
is
put
in
proofe
and
exercise
.
And
whosoeuer
duely
considers
the
ill
inclination
of
people
,
he
shall
finde
thousands
so
apt
and
ready
to
take
in
hand
a
quarell
,
that
in
some
sort
it
is
held
a
cowardise
and
a
kinde
of
no
courage
to
put
vp
a
trifle
,
so
many
desires
to
sée
bloudshed
,
so
many
sets
men
agog
in
vnhappines
,
and
so
many
goes
about
with
tales
and
bad
deuises
,
to
stur
vp
strife
and
contention
.
Well
since
our
imbecillity
is
much
,
our
fury
not
little
,
and
disposition
so
stout
,
that
all
thinges
must
be
disputed
of
and
drawen
to
the
vttermost
degrée
of
dangerous
quarrelling
:
I
wish
peraduenture
vpon
some
experience
,
that
mildnes
might
moderate
the
manner
of
our
falling
out
,
and
if
nothing
could
qualifie
the
cruelty
of
courage
,
a
regard
of
God
,
good
reputation
,
iust
cause
,
and
honest
dealing
may
be
vsed
,
exhorting
all
men
to
looke
to
life
,
common
society
,
mutuall
loue
,
and
the
generall
peace
of
a
christian
Kingdome
.
For
how
so
euer
the
Worlde
may
imagine
of
fighting
and
brawling
,
the
very
route
and
grounde
of
disorder
in
a
common
wealth
,
is
vnreasonable
quarels
,
wherein
is
maintained
a
kinde
of
Turkishe
tyranny
,
and
brutish
boldnesse
.
This
not
spoken
beyond
the
compasse
of
dutie
,
nor
to
the
preiudice
and
hinderaunce
of
any
mans
manhood
,
which
may
bee
as
well
seene
,
and
vnderstood
by
the
conquering
of
himselfe
(
and
maistring
his
owne
passions
)
as
in
hauing
the
victorie
of
others
.
Which
triumph
and
victorie
cannot
bée
gotten
without
great
bloodshed
and
businesse
.
Thus
Friend
worshipfull
I
haue
discoursed
a
matter
worthy
treating
off
,
and
I
hope
for
the
benefite
of
many
:
And
so
farewell
.
FINIS

THE
HONOR
OF
A
Souldier
.
TO
THE
RIGHT
WORSHIPful
Sir
George
Carew
,
Knight
,
Lieutenant
of
the
Ordinance
Thomas
Churchyard
wisheth
worldly
felicity
,
and
heauenly
blessednes
.
IN
calling
to
minde
,
good
Sir
George
,
our
méeting
in
Ireland
a
long
while
agoe
for
the
seruice
of
the
Quéenes
Maiesty
,
your
good
brother
then
liuing
(
to
whome
I
was
bound
in
good
will
,
)
I
penned
at
that
instant
by
his
meanes
the
life
and
death
of
a
Pirate
,
and
promised
a
further
worke
to
your selfe
,
which
now
I
performe
,
because
your
Souldiour-like
disposition
is
aunswered
with
the
aduauncements
of
Fortune
,
and
your
ancient
house
and
bloud
is
beautified
with
an
honourable
place
,
the
Prince
hath
possest
you
of
a
signe
and
token
as
I
beleeue
,
that
a
noble
Souldiers
profession
shall
neuer
goe
out
of
your
remembraunce
,
for
the
which
cause
,
I
haue
dedicated
this
worke
called
The
honor
of
a
Souldier
vnto
your
protection
,
in
hope
that
which
you
haue
séene
and
read
for
the
commendation
of
Souldiers
,
shall
be
a
sufficient
testimony
of
their
value
and
worthines
,
and
shall
not
only
procure
you
and
others
like
your selfe
to
further
their
fame
,
but
like
wise
willing
to
read
that
I
haue
set
downe
in
their
behalfe
,
for
as
briefely
as
my
small
Iudgement
can
discharge
a
true
discourse
thereof
,
with
good
probable
reasons
and
auncient
authors
of
famous
credite
.
I
minde
to
expresse
and
set
foorth
at
large
,
how
Souldiours
were
made
off
,
and
honoured
in
times
past
:
and
what
prerogatiue
they
hadde
aboue
other
people
.
And
to
declare
how
Princes
held
them
in
admiration
,
and
gaue
them
liberties
,
titles
,
and
dignities
:
farre
beyond
the
rest
of
any
,
that
liued
vnder
their
lawes
and
obedience
.
And
this
by
the
waye
is
to
bée
thought
,
that
all
my
former
discourse
and
rehearsall
of
warres
,
attended
to
no
other
purpose
and
effect
,
but
for
the
aduauncement
of
Souldiours
,
and
to
bee
as
it
were
a
foile
to
sette
foorth
the
matter
,
I
presentlye
mind
to
publishe
out
.
For
nowe
I
will
in
a
manner
shewe
,
howe
Gentility
beganne
,
and
where
and
in
what
sort
honour
was
first
gotten
and
maintayned
,
which
argument
as
I
hope
,
shall
not
onely
content
the
wise
and
well
learned
,
but
also
please
euery
degrée
,
and
make
the
simple
sort
plucke
vp
their
courages
,
and
imitate
(
by
some
honest
exercises
)
the
liues
of
noble
Souldiers
.
I
trust
I
néede
not
in
this
ready
and
ripe
age
(
wherein
good
writers
,
great
learning
,
and
studious
iudgements
doth
florishe
)
rehearse
by
particulars
euery
parcell
and
poinct
,
that
belongeth
to
a
Souldiers
profession
.
Nor
that
you
looke
I
should
recite
when
,
and
where
the
Romanes
,
Lacedemonians
,
Athenians
,
and
other
nations
,
did
preferre
and
extoll
men
of
Marshall
minds
,
and
noble
courages
.
For
their
books
and
Commentaries
,
and
the
innumerable
Libraries
of
great
antiquity
,
are
the
very
recordes
of
my
discourse
,
and
remaine
as
mirrours
for
you
to
looke
in
.
And
shall
proue
a
thousand
partes
more
in
the
commendation
of
Souldiours
,
then
either
my
penne
or
tongue
(
by
sufficient
cunning
)
hath
power
to
expresse
.
For
it
can
not
be
,
that
from
a
little
gutte
or
Channell
of
water
,
you
should
looke
for
so
great
a
floud
,
as
from
a
multitude
of
springes
,
from
whence
mighty
Riuers
takes
originall
and
recourse
.
And
so
I
send
you
to
the
Welspring
of
knowledge
(
I
mean
the
auncient
Fathers
workes
)
to
fetch
true
intelligence
,
of
the
thinges
I
make
mention
of
,
touching
the
worthy
reputation
of
a
good
Souldiour
,
and
the
antiquity
of
his
credite
,
triumph
and
glory
.
First
,
looke
in
the
sacred
Scriptures
,
and
search
from
the
death
of
Abell
,
comming
downe
orderly
to
the
birth
of
Christ
:
And
sée
whether
Souldiours
were
made
of
or
no.
And
doubtlesse
you
shall
finde
they
were
not
onely
embraced
and
maintained
,
but
likewise
they
are
of
a
long
continuance
and
credite
.
As
all
the
Bible
before
Iohn
the
Baptistes
time
declareth
.
And
Christ
himselfe
in
a
sort
did
vtter
,
when
he
saide
,
he
had
not
found
such
faith
in
Israell
,
as
he
saw
in
a
Centurion
.
Yea
and
in
the
Apostles
Actes
,
there
is
a
speciall
poinct
to
be
noted
.
Deuout
Souldiours
were
sent
to
Simon
Tanners
house
to
find
out
Peter
.
Well
,
now
I
committe
you
to
the
Scripture
,
and
I
will
follow
prophane
Histories
:
&
begin
at
the
very
Infidels
(
a
scorne
for
a
Christian
to
be
taught
by
)
which
are
no
small
number
,
nor
of
no
little
continuance
,
people
alwayes
brought
vp
in
war
,
and
Princes
of
great
fame
,
power
,
and
auctority
.
Yea
conquerours
of
the
whole
world
,
and
Kinges
to
whom
all
people
did
stoupe
and
doe
homage
.
These
Paganes
,
or
as
we
may
terme
them
,
lost
shéepe
,
to
whome
the
great
Shepheard
would
not
be
knowen
,
(
and
yet
among
them
tormented
and
crucified
)
did
make
such
lawes
and
orders
for
Souldiers
,
as
the
Turke
to
this
day
obserueth
,
and
holdeth
in
great
reuerence
.
Regard
but
the
liberties
and
auctority
of
the
Ianessaries
:
and
that
shall
manifestly
proue
,
that
men
of
warre
are
had
in
great
admiration
.
But
because
you
shall
haue
the
more
beliefe
to
the
matter
:
read
the
life
of
Alexander
the
Great
:
The
Commentaries
of
Iulius
Caesar
,
and
the
noble
actes
and
victories
of
a
number
of
other
notable
Princes
.
And
then
assuredly
you
shall
be
perswaded
,
that
the
renowne
of
Soldiours
hath
reached
,
and
spread
as
farre
as
fame
can
flie
,
or
good
report
could
haue
passage
.
I
pray
you
can
any
man
deny
,
but
it
springeth
of
a
great
courage
,
and
zeale
to
the
common
wealth
:
when
a
man
forsaketh
the
pleasure
of
life
,
to
follow
the
painefulnesse
of
warre
,
and
daunger
of
death
:
and
refuseth
no
toile
nor
trauaile
,
to
purchase
credite
,
and
attaine
vnto
knowledge
.
Yea
some
such
we
read
of
,
as
Marcus
Cursius
,
and
Mucius
Sceuola
,
that
refused
no
enterprises
to
doe
their
Countrey
pleasure
.
Yea
some
haue
sold
their
patrimony
,
and
consumed
their
Treasure
and
riches
,
to
enriche
their
Princes
with
glory
,
and
euerlasting
renowne
.
Were
not
this
a
madnes
,
and
more
then
a
méere
folly
,
to
be
a
drudge
to
the
world
,
(
and
a
labourer
for
those
that
sits
at
rest
)
and
to
watch
and
ward
,
fight
,
striue
,
and
struggle
with
straungers
for
victory
:
and
then
to
come
home
and
be
rewarded
as
common
persons
,
and
walke
like
a
shadow
in
the
Sunne
,
without
estimation
or
countenance
.
Would
any
that
had
wisedome
,
vallue
,
and
courage
,
be
ouer
runne
with
vicious
fooles
and
cowardes
,
or
be
made
a
footestoole
to
their
inferiour
,
when
they
haue
climed
vp
the
steps
of
honour
,
and
are
gotten
into
the
top
gallant
of
worldly
glory
,
and
warlicke
triumph
.
Among
children
that
doe
but
play
at
the
bucklars
,
there
is
a
preheminence
,
and
one
will
acknowledge
the
other
to
bée
his
better
,
when
good
bobbes
are
bestowed
:
and
sodainely
a
stout
taule
lobber
will
lay
downe
the
waster
,
and
yéelde
to
him
that
hath
more
practise
,
and
〈◊〉
in
the
weapon
then
himselfe
.
Then
shal●
not
a
man
that
hath
coped
with
Champions
,
buckled
with
Conquerours
,
and
abidden
the
hazard
of
the
Canon
,
stand
on
his
Pantoffelles
,
and
looke
to
the
steps
he
hath
passed
.
Yes
sure
,
and
such
a
member
of
the
state
,
(
the
baser
sort
are
Ciphers
)
ought
to
be
made
of
,
deserueth
place
and
preheminence
,
and
is
no
companion
for
punies
,
nor
méete
to
be
matched
with
Milkesoppes
,
whose
manhood
and
manners
differs
,
as
farre
from
the
graue
Soldiour
,
as
a
Donkite
in
courage
and
condition
differs
from
a
Ierfaukon
.
As
the
duetie
to
a
mannes
countrey
,
and
the
wages
that
hee
taketh
,
bindes
him
to
doe
the
vttermost
he
maie
:
so
were
there
not
an
other
cause
,
that
forceth
further
matter
.
Full
coldly
some
would
fight
,
and
full
slowly
some
would
march
to
the
battell
,
albeit
the
Princes
quarrell
and
wages
receiued
,
commaundeth
much
,
and
is
a
thing
stoutly
and
wisely
to
be
looked
to
.
But
I
tell
you
,
fame
and
reputation
is
the
marke
that
men
shoote
at
,
and
the
gréedinesse
of
glorie
and
ambition
,
pricketh
the
mind
so
fast
forward
,
that
neither
the
man
lookes
vpon
the
multitude
of
enemies
.
Nor
regards
the
daunger
of
death
,
so
he
may
be
eternized
,
&
liue
in
the
good
opinion
of
the
Prince
and
people
.
For
he
that
but
bluntly
lookes
about
him
,
and
goeth
to
the
warre
for
wealth
(
which
hardly
is
there
gotten
)
is
led
on
with
a
couetous
desire
of
that
he
shall
not
haue
,
and
may
fight
like
an
Oxe
,
and
die
like
an
Asse
.
But
who
so
respecteth
his
credite
,
and
paiseth
in
ballaunce
the
worthynesse
of
fame
,
that
riseth
by
well
doing
,
doth
combate
like
a
Lion
,
and
either
conquers
like
a
man
,
or
dieth
like
a
conquerour
,
as
many
great
Kings
&
Captaines
haue
done
,
whose
ensamples
(
a
long
while
agoe
)
as
yet
remaynes
freshlye
in
memorie
.
It
may
bee
thought
that
euery
mercinarie
man
,
and
common
hireling
(
taken
vp
for
a
while
,
or
seruing
a
small
season
)
is
a
souldier
fit
to
be
registred
,
or
honoured
among
the
renoumed
sort
of
warlike
people
.
For
such
numbers
of
bezoingnies
or
necessarie
instruments
for
the
time
,
are
to
fall
to
their
occupation
when
the
seruice
is
ended
,
and
not
to
liue
idlely
,
or
looke
for
imbrasing
.
For
neyther
they
tarry
long
in
the
f●elde
,
when
they
are
prest
to
go
foorth
.
Nor
are
not
often
called
againe
to
the
like
iourney
,
so
great
is
our
store
of
such
persons
:
and
so
many
shiftes
they
can
make
,
to
putte
of
any
paine
and
hazard
.
But
hee
is
to
bee
accounted
the
couragious
Souldier
,
that
is
giuen
by
his
owne
disposition
,
to
delight
and
folow
the
Cannon
wheele
,
whose
countenaunce
and
chéerefull
face
beginnes
to
smile
and
reioyce
when
the
Drumme
soundeth
,
&
whose
hart
is
so
high
,
it
wil
not
stoupe
to
no
slauery
.
But
hath
a
bodie
and
minde
able
to
answere
that
is
looked
for
,
and
hath
often
béen
tried
&
experimented
in
Marshiall
affaires
:
through
haunting
whereof
he
is
become
ignorant
of
drudging
at
home
,
and
made
a
skilfull
Scholler
in
the
discipline
of
warre
:
which
is
not
learned
without
some
losse
of
bloode
,
charges
of
purse
,
&
consuming
of
time
.
And
this
maye
bée
iudged
,
and
playnly
presupposed
,
that
manie
of
that
sort
of
men
are
not
found
aliue
,
to
trouble
or
burthen
a
common
wealth
,
because
they
are
cut
off
through
daungerous
seruices
,
or
forced
by
séeking
of
Fame
in
the
field
,
to
sell
that
they
haue
at
home
,
and
so
to
trauell
abroade
,
subiect
to
all
miserie
,
and
far
from
any
friendship
or
prosperous
estate
.
And
sometimes
through
the
greatnes
of
their
mindes
,
that
gallopp●
after
glorie
,
are
carried
away
to
séeke
out
new
Kingdomes
,
and
refuse
their
old
habitation
.
A
matter
falling
out
well
,
worthye
to
be
liked
,
but
otherwise
,
a
heauy
tale
to
be
told
,
and
an
experience
bought
with
ouer
much
repentaunce
.
But
euery
waye
occasions
they
are
,
that
dispatcheth
▪
many
a
good
Souldiour
,
&
makes
the
number
so
little
,
that
it
is
reason
such
as
are
left
aliue
of
that
profession
:
should
eyther
bee
rewarded
,
or
at
the
least
reape
vp
some
such
credite
,
as
the
common
sort
of
people
should
haue
them
in
admiration
,
and
offer
them
such
courtesie
,
as
the
worthynesse
of
their
Experience
and
Seruice
requireth
.
If
in
the
old
time
our
Forefathers
vsed
their
men
of
warre
nobly
,
preferred
them
to
promotions
,
&
dealt
honourably
with
them
that
serued
then
Countrey
,
where
warres
were
not
so
cruell
.
Why
should
not
this
world
,
wherein
pollicies
,
murthers
,
and
bloodshed
is
followed
(
and
hazards
are
meruelously
escaped
)
to
the
vttermost
of
mans
power
,
haue
more
regard
to
a
Souldiour
that
shunneth
no
hazard
,
nor
refuseth
no
perill
.
There
is
no
more
to
say
,
for
the
aunswering
of
this
great
ouersight
,
but
the
hackney
horse
is
vnhappy
,
hauing
borne
a
burthen
all
the
day
on
his
backe
,
&
is
cast
off
at
night
to
a
bare
common
,
there
to
séeke
for
foode
,
and
abide
a
hard
fortune
.
There
is
a
worse
matter
th●n
this
to
be
treated
off
,
yet
nothing
but
that
so
farre
past
remedie
to
be
touched
:
let
any
one
seruing
man
get
a
good
Maister
,
and
for
following
his
héeles
at
an
inch
,
he
shall
be
more
spoken
&
get
more
benefit
,
then
twenty
of
the
best
Souldiers
that
you
can
name
,
that
haue
followed
the
warres
all
their
life
dayes
,
and
knew
not
howe
to
flatter
&
fawne
,
or
crouch
and
cours●e
for
commoditie
.
Yea
,
such
as
serues
at
home
,
and
cannot
goe
out
of
the
view
of
a
faire
house
,
and
smoke
of
a
foule
Chimney
,
snatcheth
vp
good
turnes
,
and
steales
awaie
preferments
priuilie
:
when
those
that
merites
more
consideration
,
oft
goes
openly
a
begging
,
and
findeth
few
among
thousands
that
wisheth
them
well
,
or
doth
them
any
good
.
Some
say
the
cause
of
this
hard
happe
to
the
one
,
and
good
Fortune
to
the
other
,
is
a
certaine
deadly
dissention
,
fallen
betwéene
the
sword
and
the
penne
.
By
which
mortall
malice
is
bred
and
nourished
in
bosome
,
such
a
headstrong
hatred
and
parcialitie
,
that
the
penne
is
euer
giuing
a
dash
out
of
order
,
against
the
commendation
of
the
sworde
,
and
the
sword
being
disgraced
,
by
a
balde
blot
of
a
scuruie
Goose
quill
,
lies
in
a
broken
rustie
scabberd
,
and
so
takes
a
Canker
,
which
eates
awaye
the
edge
,
and
is
in
a
manner
lost
for
lacke
of
good
looking
to
,
and
consideration
of
a
painfull
Cutler
.
And
the
penne
(
as
many
people
are
perswaded
)
is
like
the
Pensell
of
a
Painter
,
alwaies
readie
to
set
out
sundrie
colours
,
and
somtime
more
apt
to
make
a
blurre
,
then
giue
a
good
shape
and
proportion
to
any
inuention
or
deuise
,
that
proceedes
of
a
plaine
meaning
.
And
as
all
pensels
are
as
well
occupied
of
a
bongling
Paynter
,
as
a
cunning
woorkeman
.
So
the
scribling
Penne
is
euer
woorking
of
some
subteltie
,
more
for
the
benefite
of
the
Writer
,
then
commonly
for
the
profitte
or
pleasure
of
the
Reader
:
yea
,
and
the
penne
is
waxt
so
fine
,
and
can
shew
such
a
florishe
,
that
a
Mayster
of
Fence
,
though
hée
playde
with
a
twoo
hand
Sworde
,
might
bee
put
to
a
foule
foyle
:
where
the
Penne
is
in
place
,
and
is
guided
by
a
sleight
hand●
,
and
a
shrewde
head
.
But
vnder
correcton
,
if
a
man
may
bee
plaine
,
the
Penne
and
the
Sword
can
neuer
agree
,
because
the
Penne
standes
in
such
feare
of
the
sword
,
it
would
not
come
vnder
the
blow
of
the
blade
:
&
the
sword
is
in
such
doubt
to
bee
moi●ed
with
inke
,
by
the
dash
of
a
penne
,
that
it
loues
not
to
come
where
the
pen
may
annoye
it
.
And
so
the
dissention
and
quarrell
betweene
the
Penne
and
the
Sworde
,
is
neuer
like
to
bee
taken
vp
:
the
harmes
are
so
great
that
growes
on
their
amitie
and
méeting
,
and
the
aduauntage
of
them
both
is
so
much
when
they
bee
kept
a
sunder
.
For
the
Sworde
is
the
best
and
in
his
most
brauery
when
it
is
shyning
in
the
fielde
,
where
bloode
may
be
shed
,
and
honour
may
bée
wonne
.
And
the
Pen
is
in
the
chi●fest
pompe
,
when
it
lies
lurking
in
the
Towne
,
where
pence
may
bée
purchased
,
and
peace
and
quietnesse
may
do
what
it
please●h
.
And
the
Pen
is
so
glad
to
rest
in
the
pennar
,
till
profite
cals
him
out
,
that
hée
cannot
abide
the
hindrers
of
his
commoditie
,
nor
the
disquieter
of
his
ease
.
Which
commeth
by
warres
,
and
proceedeth
from
the
Sword
,
when
the
Drum
and
the
Trumpet
puts
the
penne
out
of
credit
.
Now
to
speake
roundly
to
the
reason
,
may
bee
alledged
in
the
Pens
behalfe
(
and
prayses
of
those
that
haue
the
vse
of
the
same
)
it
cannot
bée
denied
,
but
the
penne
may
both
perswade
warre
,
and
purchase
peace
.
And
those
that
heere
at
home
maintaine
good
Lawes
:
sée
iustice
ministred
,
vpholde
the
publike
state
:
plead
controuersies
at
the
barre
,
studie
to
vnfold
doubtes
.
Labour
at
their
Booke
to
bée
profitable
members
,
and
striue
dayly
to
excell
in
learning
,
and
quiet
the
quarrellous
people
of
their
Countrey
.
Such
I
saye
that
with
Pen
or
tongue
,
aduaunceth
vertue
,
and
ouerthrows
vice
,
are
méete
to
bée
honoured
,
deserueth
great
laude
,
and
ought
to
goe
in
the
rancke
and
place
of
commendation
and
dignitiye
.
For
there
is
but
foure
sortes
of
true
Nobilitie
,
or
Gentlemen
.
The
first
Gouernours
,
by
whom
all
States
and
Kingdomes
are
guided
,
brought
to
know
order
,
and
made
to
possesse
in
quietnesse
the
goodes
that
eyther
good
Fortune
,
or
sweate
of
browes
hath
gotten
.
The
second
are
Souldiers
,
whose
venter
and
valliance
hath
beene
great
,
seruice
and
labour
not
little
,
and
dayly
defended
with
the
hazard
of
their
liues
,
the
libertie
of
the
Countrey
.
The
thirde
are
vpright
and
learned
Lawiers
,
that
looke●h
more
to
the
matter
they
haue
in
hand
,
then
the
money
they
receiue
.
And
are
neuer
idle
in
doing
their
duty
,
and
studying
for
the
quietnesse
of
matters
in
controuersie
.
The
fourth
are
Marchants
,
that
sayles
forrain
Countreys
,
and
brings
commodities
home
:
and
after
great
hazards
abroad
do
vtter
their
ware
with
regard
of
conscience
and
profite
to
the
publike
estate
.
And
as
from
the
beginning
Gouernours
and
Rulers
were
ordayned
by
God
,
and
the
rest
of
Gentilitie
came
in
,
and
did
follow
as
reason
required
,
and
desart
did
commaund
.
So
ancient
birth
and
blood
(
ioyned
with
good
conditions
)
is
a
thing
much
to
bee
honoured
and
esteemed
,
and
beautifies
not
only
the
noble
race
,
but
bringes
likewise
a
treable
beatitude
,
to
the
person
so
vertuously
bent
and
nobly
borne
.
And
as
for
the
Souldiers
and
their
originall
,
of
honours
,
titles
,
and
calling
,
the
Romaines
(
which
were
the
Fathers
of
all
Marshiall
affaires
,
and
Conquerors
of
the
world
)
haue
so
much
spoken
of
and
praysed
,
that
no
man
can
denie
,
but
they
are
the
men
of
greatest
antiquitie
,
and
people
that
Princes
first
preferred
,
and
gaue
stippendes
vnto
.
Yea
,
and
the
chiefest
Conquerours
that
euer
were
before
our
dayes
:
had
a
great
glorye
themselues
to
bee
called
Souldiours
,
and
Noble
Captaynes
.
For
they
thought
none
so
worthie
as
the
Souldier
,
nor
none
so
meete
to
compare
themselues
vnto
,
as
the
man
that
stoode
on
his
honour
,
and
would
neyther
stoupe
to
no
kinde
of
slauerye
,
nor
yeelde
to
no
villanous
action
.
But
in
verie
deede
,
to
speake
of
euery
one
in
their
order
,
there
is
none
●o
much
to
bee
feared
,
loued
,
and
honoured
as
the
Rulers
and
Leaders
of
the
common
people
.
For
the
peaceable
Gouernour
,
and
such
as
are
experimented
in
Wordly
pollicies
,
knowes
how
to
make
warre
,
and
howe
to
auoyde
troubles
:
and
as
they
are
loth
to
fall
from
rest
and
wealth
,
to
ruffeling
Warre
and
wickednesse
,
that
bréedes
bloodshed
and
want
:
So
they
can
breake
the
bandes
of
peace
,
and
set
men
out
to
the
field
,
when
causes
commaundes
them
,
and
oportunitie
doth
serue
.
But
since
that
my
purpose
is
but
to
treate
of
Souldiers
alone
,
(
and
that
I
lacke
skill
to
set
foorth
the
rest
)
I
will
returne
to
my
first
Discourse
and
intent
,
and
leaue
the
wise
to
consider
,
what
good
matter
may
bee
sayde
in
the
thing
I
leaue
off
.
The
Souldiour
because
his
life
is
in
ballaunce
,
and
his
death
is
at
the
dore
,
hath
so
many
mischieues
to
passe
,
&
so
few
meanes
to
escape
daunger
:
that
he
is
compelled
to
be
honest
,
and
be
ready
to
make
an
accompt
euery
houre
of
the
day
.
For
as
the
Cannon
may
call
him
before
he
be
aware
,
or
the
pollicie
of
the
enemie
may
cut
off
his
yeares
:
so
is
he
assured
that
the
pot
,
which
goeth
often
to
the
water
,
comes
home
with
a
knock
,
or
at
length
is
passhed
all
in
peeces
.
Through
which
accidents
or
crosse
chances
,
he
is
held
so
harde
,
and
curbed
so
shorte
(
if
any
feare
of
God
be
in
his
breast
)
that
he
hath
no
scope
to
runne
at
riot
in
:
nor
play
the
parts
of
a
wanton
,
or
prodigall
sonne
.
Albeit
some
hold
opinion
,
that
Souldiours
be
giuen
to
spoile
and
offered
to
insolent
life
,
by
a
number
of
inconueniences
:
yet
may
they
so
well
bee
occupied
in
warre
,
that
they
may
bee
occasion
of
great
good
,
and
a
great
hinderer
of
many
harmes
.
For
when
houses
are
ready
to
be
burnt
,
impotent
persons
,
poore
women
and
children
ready
to
bee
slayne
:
they
may
saue
what
they
list
,
and
preserue
an
infinite
number
of
thinges
,
that
a
man
at
home
can
doe
no
good
in
,
nor
none
but
the
Souldiour
in
the
fielde
,
hath
power
to
comfort
and
succour
.
And
for
certame
I
know
Souldiours
of
that
disposition
,
that
hath
beene
occupied
in
these
honest
actions
:
when
some
Helhoudes
haue
beene
spoyling
and
murthering
,
and
founde
by
their
follye
and
ouer
great
cruelitye
,
a
dispatch
of
their
owne
dayes
,
and
peraduenture
the
terrible
wrath
of
God
,
and
damnation
to
their
soules
.
My
Prince
maie
bée
well
serued
,
and
the
Enemie
not
alwayes
to
the
vttermost
persecuted
:
the
Lesson
that
Sainct
Iohn
Baptist
gaue
the
souldiours
,
may
suffice
for
this
matter
,
and
carrie
mens
mindes
from
violence
,
and
doing
wrong
,
to
quallifie
furie
,
and
maintaine
right
,
with
a
regard
to
the
innocent
,
that
ought
not
to
bée
touched
,
for
the
offence
of
an
ambicious
Leader
,
or
one
whose
faultes
the
ignoraunt
may
not
answers
This
point
though
simply
it
is
passed
ouer
,
may
containe
a
large
volume
:
and
is
to
be
looked
into
with
a
diuine
〈◊〉
,
and
〈◊〉
Christian
consideration
.
Then
if
the
souldiors
(
as
few
there
are
in
number
)
be
honest
and
is
to
be
proued
,
they
are
not
to
be
reproued
:
it
followes
that
honor
and
reputation
accompanies
those
souldiours
,
and
that
a
singular
priuiledge
and
libertie
,
may
be
had
for
those
that
haue
such
regard
of
their
fame
,
that
they
wil
do
no
any
one
thing
preiudicial
to
their
credite
,
in
the
compasse
of
which
regard
is
knit
,
valiancy
,
modestie
,
pitty
,
&
hope
of
another
life
to
come
:
when
th●
affaires
of
this
world
shall
dutifully
and
honestly
be
finished
.
And
for
that
the
reader
hereof
shal
not
thinke
,
but
that
great
Princes
thought
their
Souldiours
to
bee
honest
,
&
men
that
were
worthy
the
making
of
(
whose
doings
&
regarde
did
argue
and
shew
a
speciall
hope
of
another
place
to
go
to
,
or
a
certaine
fame
and
credite
heere
to
be
maintained
)
I
will
shew
you
as
I
haue
gathered
by
translation
,
how
triumphant
kings
&
princely
potentates
,
did
ordaine
,
set
downe
,
and
deliuer
a
law
&
rule
for
souldiours
.
By
the
which
they
had
honor
,
libertie
,
&
prerogatiue
aboue
,
and
beyond
the
Commoners
,
or
common
course
of
people
.
The
translation
I
speake
of
is
not
long
and
tedious
,
but
bringing
willing
mindes
to
heare
&
know
the
truth
you
may
read
if
leasure
permit
,
and
you
peruse
that
followeth
.
First
you
must
marke
(
and
make
a
good
note
of
)
that
Heraldes
were
at
the
beginning
souldiours
,
and
were
called
auncient
knights
,
as
well
it
séemeth
to
be
true
:
for
they
(
I
meant
Heraldes
)
being
brought
vp
in
warre
,
beheld
who
deserued
renowne
,
and
had
by
their
authoritie
and
experience
,
a
power
to
giue
Armes
and
signe
of
honor
to
those
,
which
for
well
doing
in
field
or
publike
state
,
did
merite
remembraunce
,
which
power
and
place
of
the
Heralde
doth
plainely
expresse
:
that
from
the
fielde
,
or
honourable
offices
at
home
,
sprong
vp
our
gentilitie
,
&
generation
of
Gentlemen
.
For
as
euery
mans
blood
in
a
b●son
lookes
of
one
colour
:
and
when
Adam
was
created
,
and
a
long
while
after
,
men
were
al
alike
.
So
vertuous
actes
that
shines
to
the
heauens
,
hath
made
them
to
bee
honoured
and
aduaunced
▪
where
vicious
liuers
,
and
bloodthirsty
wretches
were
accursed
of
God
,
and
hated
of
man
.
And
had
a
marke
set
vpon
them
to
be
known
by
,
and
be
a
testimony
to
the
world
,
that
they
were
not
worthy
of
honour
,
and
were
appointed
to
reproch
.
Let
Cain
that
killed
his
brother
Abell
(
by
an
vniust
warre
)
be
a
witnes
in
this
behalfe
.
Aeneas
Siluius
doth
derine
Heraldes
of
ab
Heroibus
,
of
Noble
men
:
For
Heroes
were
auncient
Knights
,
otherwise
called
Souldiours
,
and
an
Herauld
signifieth
Centonicum
vocabulum
(
videlicet
)
and
old
man
of
Armes
,
or
an
old
Knight
,
but
at
this
daie
(
sayd
Eneas
a
long
while
since
)
certayne
seruile
men
,
feeble
and
weake
messengers
,
which
neuer
haue
playde
the
Souldiours
,
doe
professe
that
office
.
The
priuileges
and
offices
of
the
Herauldes
in
auncient
time
,
to
this
day
continuing
neuerthelesse
.
And
the
first
authour
of
them
was
Bacchus
,
which
India
being
conquered
,
did
call
them
by
this
name
:
I
absolue
you
of
Warres
and
trauell
,
and
will
that
you
bée
auncient
Souldiers
,
and
to
bée
called
Heroes
.
Your
office
shall
bée
to
prouide
for
the
Common
weale
,
to
try
out
the
originall
of
causes
,
and
to
prayse
the
wise
:
you
shall
call
for
greater
rewardes
,
in
what
place
or
Countrey
you
shall
come
.
And
the
Kings
shall
giue
you
meat
and
apparell
.
You
shall
bée
most
honourable
to
all
men
.
Princes
shall
offer
vnto
you
many
thinges
,
and
shall
licence
you
their
apparell
.
Credite
shal
be
giuen
to
your
sayings
,
you
shall
abhorre
lies
.
You
shall
iudge
traytors
and
Adu●●terers
.
These
infamous
persons
ye
shall
punish
:
and
in
euery
Nation
you
shall
haue
libertie
,
and
sure
egresse
and
regresse
shall
bée
vnto
you
,
if
any
man
shall
gayne
say
any
of
you
in
worde
or
déede
,
let
him
die
with
the
sword
.
Alexander
the
Great
hath
annexed
to
these
priuileges
of
noble
men
after
a
long
season
,
that
they
might
vse
purple
,
golden
and
beautiful
garments
.
And
that
they
should
bring
in
princely
and
notable
Armes
at
euery
place
,
in
any
Countrey
or
Region
soeuer
it
shal
bée
If
any
man
shal
repulse
these
without
respect
,
or
secretely
defame
in
woorde
,
hée
shall
bée
accounted
gilty
of
death
,
and
deposition
of
gooddes
.
And
so
the
same
Eneas
doth
say
,
Tucidides
,
Herodotus
,
Didimses
,
Magashones
,
and
Zenophon
together
.
Thirdly
,
then
Octauian
Auguste
,
the
Romaine
Monarch
being
established
,
hath
beautified
them
on
this
condition
:
Who
so
euer
(
sayd
hée
)
hath
played
the
Souldiour
with
vs
,
the
space
of
ten
yeares
,
and
be
of
the
age
of
fourty
yeares
,
whether
he
be
horseman
,
or
els
footeman
,
he
shall
haue
his
wages
▪
and
afterwards
be
absent
from
wars
,
be
a
noble
man
and
old
Souldiers
.
No
man
shal
forbid
thée
the
Ctity
,
the
Market
,
the
Church
,
Hospitality
and
house
:
no
man
shall
impute
any
fault
to
thée
,
thou
shalt
be
discharged
of
that
blemish
or
burthen
:
no
man
shall
aske
any
thing
of
thee
,
if
thou
make
fault
in
any
thing
,
onely
looke
thou
for
Caesars
vengeance
:
for
what
filthinesse
men
shall
impute
,
let
them
feare
thée
being
a
iudge
and
corrector
▪
whether
they
bée
priuate
,
or
Princes
:
what
so
euer
thou
sayest
,
thou
shalt
affirme
,
and
no
man
contrary
.
All
iourneis
and
places
shall
bée
free
and
plaine
to
thée
:
let
thy
meat
and
drinke
be
in
the
houses
of
Princes
,
and
take
daily
of
the
common
treasure
,
wherewithall
to
kéepe
thée
and
thine
house
.
Marry
thou
a
wife
of
comely
beauty
,
and
estéeme
her
aboue
all
other
.
Whom
thou
wilt
checke
and
reproch
with
infamy
,
thou
shalt
say
this
man
is
an
infamous
reprobat
.
Armes
,
Ensignee
,
names
and
ornaments
of
noble
men
beare
thou
.
Doe
what
thinges
become
Kinges
,
and
what
thou
wouldest
doe
or
say
in
euery
place
and
Nation
,
make
mention
of
it
:
if
there
be
any
iniurious
person
,
let
him
die
.
And
last
of
all
Cha●les
the
Great
,
the
name
of
the
Empire
being
translated
to
the
Germaines
,
after
the
conquest
of
the
Saxons
and
Lombardes
.
Caesar
called
Augustus
,
hath
rewarded
them
with
this
honour
,
saying
:
My
Knights
,
you
noble
men
,
fellowes
of
Kinges
and
Iudges
of
faultes
,
liue
after
your
labour
,
without
trauaile
,
prouide
for
Kings
in
a
common
name
.
Take
away
vice
.
Fauour
women
.
Helpe
children
.
Kéepe
councell
of
the
Prince
,
and
of
him
aske
your
apparell
,
&
stipend
:
and
if
any
deny
,
let
him
be
accounted
presumptuou●
and
slaunderous
.
If
any
shall
doe
you
iniury
,
let
him
acknowledge
himselfe
guilty
of
empairing
the
Empire
.
But
take
you
héede
least
you
defile
such
worshippe
,
and
such
priuiledge
,
gotten
by
iust
trauaile
of
warre
,
either
by
dronkennesse
,
baudry
,
or
any
other
vice
:
neither
that
we
giue
vnto
you
,
should
redound
vnto
praise
,
or
peace
,
which
is
to
be
taken
of
you
.
If
perhaps
you
shall
exceede
vs
,
and
our
successors
Kinges
of
the
Romains
for
euer
hereafter
.
These
before
rehearsed
woorde
for
woorde
,
as
I
might
I
translated
out
of
Latine
,
finding
therein
a
maruailous
commendation
of
Souldiers
,
and
so
is
thereby
to
be
p●rceiued
,
that
in
all
ages
,
times
,
and
publique
gouernements
,
Kinges
and
mighty
Monarkes
,
tooke
care
as
much
for
their
men
of
warre
,
as
for
their
Common-weale
:
and
to
bring
them
in
heart
if
any
dispaire
or
mislike
,
should
grow
through
sl●cknes
of
looking
vnto
.
The
Princes
of
their
princely
benignity
,
and
méere
good
will
borne
to
Marshall
people
,
inuested
them
with
titles
,
names
and
honours
,
such
as
alwaies
pluckes
vp
a
mannes
courage
,
and
procures
thousandes
to
valiauncy
and
seruice
.
For
who
will
not
venter
boldly
a
season
,
when
they
know
for
tenne
yeares
toile
and
hazard
,
he
shall
be
honoured
,
sitte
at
ease
,
liue
without
daunger
,
and
remaine
in
a
perpetuall
priuiledge
:
neither
subiect
to
the
mallice
of
lewde
people
,
nor
worldly
want
,
whose
plague
persecuteth
many
millions
of
men
,
and
throwes
downe
in
the
dust
the
prayses
of
such
,
as
otherwise
should
shine
like
the
Sunne
,
before
the
●ies
of
all
nations
.
And
as
those
Kinges
and
Conquerours
many
hundred
yeares
agoe
,
ordained
by
decrée
and
vertue
of
a
Law
,
that
Souldiers
should
bée
made
honourable
,
and
possesse
great
contentation
of
minde
:
So
fell
it
out
from
time
to
time
,
theyr
seruices
were
considered
.
And
that
Souldier-like
King
and
triumphant
Conquerour
,
King
Henry
the
eight
,
hauing
triall
of
Souldiers
and
a
warlike
heart
:
to
shew
the
honour
belonging
to
that
profession
,
and
to
follow
his
noble
predecessours
:
Made
a
Law
as
yee
may
read
in
the
Statutes
,
that
Souldiers
might
weare
what
they
listed
:
And
further
to
the
comfort
of
all
men
of
warre
,
he
left
no
one
worthy
Souldier
vnrewarded
,
in
what
place
so
euer
of
his
dominion
,
or
affaires
the
Soldiour
had
béene
emploide
.
In
Fraunce
,
our
néere
neighbours
makes
so
great
account
of
Souldiers
(
namely
those
that
they
call
Soldado
Vetche
)
that
the
greatest
Dukes
or
Princes
in
the
field
,
Court
,
or
Towne
,
encountering
a
Souldier
,
salutes
him
with
curtesie
,
takes
him
to
his
Table
,
and
vseth
him
with
such
entertainement
and
reuerence
,
that
it
is
a
world
to
beholde
.
And
when
seruice
is
to
bée
séene
,
either
in
battaile
,
or
at
an
assault
:
The
greatest
Duke
or
noble
man
,
thinkes
himselfe
happy
to
bée
ioyned
with
a
knowen
Souldier
:
and
commonly
both
olde
and
young
of
their
nobility
,
are
formost
in
the
●ight
,
and
last
that
will
retire
.
It
is
a
thing
incredible
among
some
ignoraunt
persons
,
to
be
told
how
Souldier-like
,
and
manlike
in
all
poinctes
they
behaue
themselues
,
and
how
little
account
they
make
of
life
,
when
death
must
be
sought
by
seruice
,
and
thereby
their
honour
and
liberty
of
Countrey
,
is
to
be
preferred
.
The
Spaniards
,
a
Nation
not
inferiour
to
any
yet
named
,
ioyne
so
in
amity
at
their
méeting
,
make
such
courtesie
,
and
shew
such
fastnesse
of
friendship
(
especially
among
Souldiers
)
that
euery
one
in
presence
embraceth
his
companion
,
and
in
absence
,
let
s
fall
good
report
of
the
absent
.
Yea
,
their
loue
and
constancy
by
custome
and
ceremonies
,
knits
them
in
such
an
vnion
,
that
no
straunger
can
seperate
:
and
they
giue
so
great
place
one
to
another
,
that
it
is
hard
to
know
by
their
gestures
and
vsages
,
which
is
the
better
of
them
.
And
they
haue
theyr
own
Souldiers
in
such
a
liking
,
that
no
people
in
the
world
,
shall
be
suffered
to
reape
any
péece
of
their
glory
.
The
Italians
Souldiers
of
great
antiquity
,
and
of
no
lesse
value
with
most
humility
and
ciuill
manner
,
enterchaungeth
their
talke
:
yéelding
for
one
gentle
word
,
twenty
good
tearms
,
smooth
speeches
,
and
philed
phrases
.
And
happening
to
come
together
,
either
in
seruice
,
or
otherwise
:
they
agrée
like
brethren
,
and
depart
without
quarrell
.
And
their
great
men
and
mightiest
in
power
,
if
they
repaire
where
Souldiers
are
,
showes
them selues
of
little
authority
,
as
a
man
might
gesse
by
their
courtesie
:
Refuseth
to
take
any
thing
vppon
them
,
wh●re
the
Marshall
man
approacheth
,
and
seemeth
to
be
at
the
disposition
of
such
as
haue
serued
,
so
great
is
the
reputation
of
a
Souldier
among
them
.
The
Scots
men
,
a
stout
and
manly
people
,
beginning
to
take
a
sauour
in
the
warre
,
seekes
sundry
soiles
to
serue
in
:
and
haue
great
delight
to
be
in
the
company
of
souldiers
,
and
proue
them selues
worthy
of
commendation
in
any
place
they
repair
.
And
for
that
they
would
become
famous
,
and
attaine
to
some
experience
and
credite
,
they
shunne
no
kinde
of
seruice
that
is
offered
:
and
all
the
sorts
of
Gentility
among
them
,
estéemeth
much
a
Souldier
.
Which
is
a
signe
that
at
the
length
,
Souldiers
will
come
to
their
ancient
dignity
and
admiration
,
where
the
sound
of
Dromme
or
Trompet
may
be
heard
.
Now
to
speake
of
our
owne
Nation
were
superfluous
,
(
although
many
haue
serued
well
,
and
sundry
are
yet
in
the
exercises
of
warre
)
because
I
haue
named
before
diuerse
thinges
wherein
our
countrey
men
haue
wonne
desired
fame
and
renowne
,
yet
for
arguments
sake
,
and
to
enlarge
this
volume
.
Further
matter
may
be
treated
of
,
neither
hurtfull
to
the
hearers
,
that
fauoureth
well
doing
:
nor
hatefull
to
any
when
nothing
shall
be
touched
,
but
that
which
is
necessary
for
the
aduauncement
of
vertue
.
Our
soueraigne
Lady
by
Gods
prouidence
(
to
make
vp
the
matter
)
I
bring
for
a
testimony
of
great
regard
to
Souldiers
,
considering
whom
they
are
she
hath
holpen
,
in
some
sort
and
respect
,
and
what
good
things
haue
passed
among
Souldiers
,
as
her
highnesse
heard
well
of
,
or
had
intelligence
giuen
her
to
vnderstand
,
the
worthinesse
of
those
that
haue
well
deserued
.
Doe
but
examine
how
many
since
her
noble
raign
,
of
Souldiers
haue
had
Leases
,
gotten
liuings
,
béene
preferred
to
gouernment
,
and
gone
from
Court
with
full
hands
,
that
beganne
with
empty
purses
.
And
then
tell
the
world
openly
,
what
secret
suits
were
passed
and
what
open
wrong
they
doe
them
,
that
bountifully
bestowed
good
gifts
,
wher
any
good
cause
appeared
.
Admit
some
by
the
report
of
their
friendes
,
stole
away
the
benefites
from
the
fountaine
head
:
yet
looke
to
the
rest
of
thinges
that
worthely
fell
out
,
and
you
shall
sée
the
best
sort
of
Souldiers
worthely
rewarded
,
and
nobly
vsed
.
What
care
we
though
some
silly
soules
,
or
seruiceable
Souldiers
watch
at
receipt
,
or
are
not
spoken
for
by
meane
of
some
hinderers
of
good
happe
.
Yet
since
other
some
,
and
many
in
number
haue
found
good
Fortune
,
(
say
what
they
can
)
at
her
Highnesse
handes
that
now
remaineth
Quéene
ouer
our
Countrey
,
we
cannot
but
confesse
that
the
candle
is
in
,
and
not
burnt
so
far
,
but
may
giue
a
gracious
blase
and
a
new
light
,
to
lighten
the
minds
of
Souldiers
,
and
such
as
sit
in
the
comfortlesse
shadow
of
darke
dispaire
.
So
to
make
short
and
prooue
for
the
purpose
,
Souldiers
in
times
past
haue
beene
sette
by
,
and
dearely
estéemed
,
and
presently
in
all
places
of
the
world
embraced
and
made
of
.
From
whom
sprong
Herraldes
,
the
erectours
and
publishers
of
Gentlemen
,
&
all
true
fame
and
honour
did
rise
:
as
for
example
,
a
Knight
made
in
the
field
,
especially
for
seruice
sake
,
hath
much
more
to
reioyce
of
,
then
he
that
at
home
is
called
to
worship
,
except
in
causes
of
gouernement
and
honourable
offices
,
which
are
to
be
preferred
before
all
other
dignities
and
calling
.
Chéefly
for
that
our
whole
publike
state
and
princely
order
,
depends
on
their
wisedomes
without
the
which
order
,
and
Maiesty
of
rule
,
the
ciuill
would
become
sauage
,
and
the
world
wax
wild
:
so
that
the
beastes
in
the
field
,
and
the
people
in
the
Towne
,
should
soone
for
naughty
manners
be
alike
in
condition
.
Now
here
is
to
bée
noted
,
that
Souldiers
in
olde
time
of
ten
yeares
continuance
,
being
forty
yeares
of
age
,
was
suffered
to
liue
quiet
,
and
bore
the
title
of
honour
.
Then
reason
will
graunt
,
that
who
hath
serued
thirty
yeares
,
without
reproach
or
shame
(
and
in
a
dangerous
world
and
mischiefe
)
may
claime
by
right
a
pention
of
the
Prince
,
and
stipend
of
the
common
Treasure
.
But
what
and
if
some
of
good
birth
and
hauiour
,
haue
béene
much
more
then
thirty
yeares
a
follower
of
the
warres
,
and
neuer
out
of
warlike
exercises
,
all
this
long
season
.
And
yet
are
as
new
to
beginne
the
world
againe
,
as
they
were
the
first
day
they
came
from
their
Craddle
.
For
any
preferment
,
fauour
of
the
Prince
,
or
countenaunce
and
commodity
of
their
countrey
.
Such
Souldiers
may
say
,
they
were
borne
in
an
vnhappy
season
,
or
found
but
could
friends
in
time
of
regard
,
and
triall
of
good
Fortune
.
The
affection
of
this
worlde
is
led
with
such
liking
,
(
and
the
cunning
of
the
wily
can
so
finely
curry
fauour
)
that
he
that
neuer
came
néere
the
daunger
of
the
Cannon
,
with
looking
bigge
,
and
turning
vp
his
mouchachose
,
makes
men
beléeue
he
is
a
diuell
,
who
fearing
the
monster
will
doe
some
mischiefe
.
And
carried
away
by
affection
(
for
the
goodly
shew
this
kill
Cow
hath
made
)
speake
for
him
where
goodnesse
is
to
be
gotten
,
and
so
a
swad
or
a
swirnpipe
is
called
a
good
Souldier
,
(
and
goeth
away
with
credite
and
liuing
)
when
he
that
wants
this
cunning
,
and
yet
lackes
no
courage
nor
vallue
liues
vnrewarded
,
and
consumes
his
daies
in
sorrow
.
Yet
some
holdes
opinion
,
it
is
but
hap
that
helpes
,
and
neyther
cunning
nor
desarts
that
compasseth
good
liuinges
,
and
attaines
vnto
benefite
.
Full
bare
and
poore
is
that
argument
and
reason
,
and
men
of
such
opinions
,
are
as
blinde
as
a
n
:
to
beléeue
he
is
happy
that
hath
no
worthinesse
in
him
,
and
he
vnfortunate
that
lacketh
no
vertues
.
But
the
worlde
is
most
ignorant
and
much
to
be
blamed
,
that
helpeth
a
shadow
to
great
substaunce
,
and
lets
the
worthy
shift
for
their
liuing
that
deserueth
reward
.
and
they
are
not
to
be
excused
,
that
by
a
colour
of
hap
,
aduaunceth
the
vicious
person
,
and
fauours
not
the
foreward
Souldier
,
and
men
of
vertuous
disposition
.
For
gold
and
siluer
are
knowen
by
their
weight
and
goodnesse
:
The
flower
by
the
smell
:
The
horse
by
his
pace
,
and
euery
other
thing
is
tried
and
made
of
for
his
value
.
And
must
the
merites
of
men
be
subiect
to
hap
,
where
men
do
helpe
men
,
and
are
the
iudgers
of
mans
doings
:
that
case
is
too
cruel
,
and
that
hap
is
accursed
gotten
by
such
blindnes
,
and
purchased
by
such
parciality
.
In
Rome
where
noble
mindes
were
maruailously
extolled
,
yet
when
diuerse
men
came
to
be
preferred
:
euery
Senator
a
part
had
〈◊〉
many
followers
,
that
one
wold
hinder
another
:
and
looke
who
the
best
people
fauoured
,
the
worst
sort
would
hate
.
And
looke
who
followed
Pompey
was
misliked
of
Iulius
Caesar
,
and
so
by
this
factious
dealing
many
great
Souldiers
,
eloquent
Oratours
,
and
noble
members
of
the
Common
wealth
,
were
put
off
from
poste
to
piller
.
And
few
that
were
worthy
of
cherishing
,
found
good
chaunce
,
or
possessed
any
part
of
the
hap
,
that
they
iustly
might
claime
,
by
which
frowardnes
and
misery
of
the
time
,
is
plainely
to
bée
prooued
,
that
there
is
no
hap
certaine
.
For
man
him selfe
is
the
maker
of
hap
,
and
the
marrer
thereof
:
euen
as
his
lust
is
to
like
,
or
his
hart
is
bent
to
lothe
.
For
hap
could
doe
nothing
at
all
among
them
,
their
affections
were
so
farre
a
sunder
,
and
they
haled
such
seuerall
wayes
,
that
their
followers
were
left
in
the
lash
,
or
failed
of
their
footing
.
Then
speake
not
of
hap
,
for
God
and
good
men
are
the
distributers
of
desired
Fortune
,
and
the
onely
causers
of
that
which
betideth
,
and
must
fall
of
necessity
on
some
mens
shoulders
,
as
in
the
Booke
of
Boetius
de
consolatione
,
is
manifestly
to
be
tried
.
Now
leaue
of
hearing
of
hap
,
and
note
how
nobly
the
Romanes
vsed
their
Souldiers
,
namely
those
that
at
any
time
had
succoured
a
Cittizen
of
Rome
:
and
taken
him
out
of
the
hands
of
his
ennemies
.
For
such
souldiers
as
had
done
that
seruice
,
was
crowned
with
a
garland
or
hat
,
made
of
the
leaues
of
Trées
,
as
I
finde
written
in
Plinie
the
xvi
.
Booke
the
fourth
Chapter
,
the
chiefest
whereof
that
serueth
for
my
purpose
,
I
haue
translated
out
of
French
.
Plinie
bringing
many
great
authors
to
affirme
his
saying
,
the
matter
followeth
.
The
greatest
honour
that
could
bée
done
to
a
Souldier
,
was
to
Cro●ne
him
with
a
Crowne
called
Ciuiques
,
and
likewise
of
long
time
this
Crowne
Ciuiques
was
due
vnto
Emperors
,
in
signe
of
clemency
.
For
since
the
ciuile
warres
had
harmed
the
Romaines
,
it
was
thought
a
singular
good
deede
,
to
let
a
Citizen
liue
in
rest
and
peace
.
Likewise
there
was
no
Crowne
compared
to
that
Crowne
:
For
those
●hat
were
giuen
to
that
Souldier
,
that
was
first
at
the
breach
,
or
first
on
the
walles
,
or
rampars
of
the
ennemies
,
was
not
so
honourable
,
no
,
although
they
were
of
gold
,
and
thereby
were
more
rich
.
We
haue
séene
saieth
Plinie
in
our
time
,
two
great
triumphes
for
the
Sea
seruice
,
the
one
was
of
Marcus
Varro
(
the
which
Pompey
did
Crowne
,
for
hauing
defeated
the
Pirates
,
and
making
the
Sea
cleare
of
Théeues
)
the
second
was
of
Marcus
Agrippa
,
which
Caesar
did
likewise
Crowne
,
for
hauing
defeated
the
Cicilians
,
and
purged
the
sea
in
like
sort
of
Brigandes
and
Robbers
.
At
the
first
foundation
of
Rome
,
Romulus
did
Crowne
Hostus
Hostilius
with
a
garlande
of
leaues
:
because
he
was
the
first
on
the
Walles
,
at
the
taking
of
Fidena
.
Now
before
a
Burgoies
shoulde
at
any
time
enioy
this
Crown
Ciuique
,
hée
must
rescue
a
Romaine
Citizen
,
and
kill
the
Ennemie
that
ledde
the
Citizen
away
Prisoner
.
It
must
bée
likewise
that
the
Enemie
did
holde
and
possesse
the
place
,
that
same
day
that
the
Romaine
Citizen
was
rescued
in
.
It
is
necessarie
that
the
man
which
hath
béen
succoured
,
should
confesse
the
same
before
the
people
:
For
a
Soldiours
own
witnesse
in
that
behalfe
,
serues
to
no
purpose
.
And
furthermore
it
is
required
,
that
he
that
was
rescued
,
be
known
to
be
a
Burgois
of
Rome
.
For
if
one
doe
rescue
a
King
,
that
commeth
to
serue
the
Romaines
,
hée
doth
not
merite
for
the
same
the
Crowne
Ciuique
.
In
like
sort
,
if
one
do
rescue
a
generall
of
an
Armie
,
hee
gets
no
more
honor
therefore
,
then
though
hée
had
rescued
a
simple
Citizen
.
For
they
which
established
this
ordinaunce
had
no
regard
,
but
to
the
conseruation
of
the
Citizens
of
Rome
,
whosoeuer
they
were
.
The
Priuilege
of
this
Crowne
shall
bée
to
giue
power
,
to
weare
a
Hatte
of
broad
leaues
,
as
ofte
as
hée
pleased
that
had
béene
once
Crowned
for
his
well
doing
.
Further
all
the
Senate
had
a
custome
,
to
rise
out
of
their
places
,
and
to
doe
honor
to
them
that
haue
had
this
Crowne
,
when
they
goe
to
sée
the
common
playes
and
pastimes
.
And
it
is
sufferable
and
permitted
,
that
they
shall
sitte
in
a
seate
néere
the
Senatours
.
And
they
shall
bée
exempt
from
all
ciuill
charges
,
not
onely
themselues
,
but
their
naturall
Fathers
and
Graundfathers
:
And
nowe
beholde
touching
their
Priuileges
,
there
was
one
Cicinius
Dentatus
,
according
as
wee
haue
sayde
,
Crowned
fourteene
times
.
And
one
Capitolinus
had
sixe
times
beene
Crowned
,
for
hee
rescued
Seruilius
,
then
Generall
of
the
Armie
:
notwithstanding
Scipio
Affrican
would
not
suffer
them
to
giue
him
the
Crowne
Ciuique
,
succouring
his
Father
in
the
iourney
of
Trebia
.
O
ordinaunce
worthye
of
immortalitie
(
sayth
Plinie
)
that
assigneth
no
other
prayse
for
such
great
workes
,
then
this
great
honour
,
which
surpasseth
all
other
warlike
Crownes
.
Thus
far
goes
the
verie
words
of
Plinie
,
&
many
(
other
auncient
Aucthors
that
I
could
rehearse
)
in
the
commendation
of
men
of
Warre
,
which
neyther
in
Tholomeus
time
:
Artaxerses
dayes
:
nor
any
of
the
mighty
Monarkes
long
raigning
before
,
could
bee
forgotten
,
but
were
so
honoured
,
that
lawes
●
orders
was
onely
deuised
for
the
enlarging
of
their
Land
,
and
stirring
vp
their
noble
minds
.
Yea
,
Soldiours
and
Herraldes
hadde
power
to
denounce
warres
,
insomuch
as
the
auncient
Romaines
:
who
were
the
Fathers
of
all
Marshiall
affaires
,
and
conquerours
of
the
world
,
held
this
for
a
most
certaine
rule
.
Nullum
bellum
iustum
esse
nisi
pro
rebus
iniuste
ablatis
&
quod
fecialis
Romani
antea
denunciabant
.
Which
rule
and
order
of
the
Romaines
,
for
the
power
and
honour
of
soldiours
and
Herauldes
:
declareth
they
are
of
great
dignitie
and
calling
,
&
may
compare
by
this
there
authoritie
,
to
be
no
whit
inferiour
to
the
best
sort
of
Gentlemen
.
You
may
read
in
like
manner
,
that
there
was
a
man
among
the
Romaines
,
that
merelie
,
or
peraduenture
in
contempt
,
put
a
crowne
Ciuique
vppon
his
owne
head
:
and
looking
out
at
a
great
windowe
into
the
stréete
,
was
espyed
.
And
thereuppon
apprehended
,
and
brought
before
the
Senate
:
where
hée
was
iudged
presently
to
be
put
to
death
,
for
touching
and
abusing
that
crowne
Ciuique
,
which
was
ordayned
for
the
wearing
onely
of
an
honourable
Souldiour
,
and
for
such
a
one
as
had
béene
by
desarte
crowned
with
Triumph
and
Solempnitie
in
open
audience
.
So
this
foolish
man
(
albeit
hée
might
meane
but
little
harme
)
was
had
to
the
place
of
execution
,
and
there
lost
his
life
,
to
the
great
terrour
of
those
that
rashly
meddle
with
thinges
that
become
them
not
,
and
to
the
great
honour
of
those
that
are
aduaunced
by
vertue
,
and
winneth
with
courage
the
wearing
of
this
Crowne
called
the
crowne
Ciuique
.
Now
comming
downe
to
this
present
age
in
the
time
of
our
peace
,
where
Souldiours
haue
nothing
to
doe
,
there
is
ynough
spoken
(
and
peraduenture
too
much
)
for
the
Souldiours
commendation
,
yet
let
mee
leade
you
a
little
further
in
that
case
,
For
now
is
to
be
prooued
what
degrées
of
Souldiours
(
hauing
serued
long
,
or
borne
any
office
of
credit
)
are
gentlemen
,
and
may
vnrebukeable
bee
bold
to
take
that
name
and
title
vpon
them
.
First
you
haue
heard
,
that
seruing
ten
yeares
honestly
and
truly
,
he
is
not
onely
past
his
prentiship
,
but
also
aboue
a
iourney
man
,
and
ought
from
all
ioyrneis
to
be
spared
.
As
a
man
might
saie
,
(
though
vnproperly
compared
)
a
good
frée
horse
after
his
long
labour
,
and
many
great
iourneis
is
to
bee
ridden
but
seldome
,
and
kept
in
the
stable
till
extreme
necessitie
requireth
:
and
then
is
to
bée
vsed
gentelie
,
least
his
stiffe
limmes
and
olde
bodie
deceaues
the
Riders
expectation
.
So
a
Souldiour
comming
to
this
age
and
perfection
,
or
being
past
the
iollitie
of
youth
and
youthfull
actions
:
ought
to
be
prouided
for
,
and
may
without
presumption
plead
for
armes
,
albeit
hee
neuer
gaue
anye
before
,
and
can
bring
no
great
proofe
of
his
house
,
gentrie
,
or
dissent
,
and
though
he
be
the
first
of
that
house
,
stocke
,
&
name
that
gaue
armes
:
his
beginning
is
allowed
of
al
our
ancient
writers
and
Princes
,
and
shall
put
his
aduersaries
to
silence
,
when
in
that
point
they
séeke
to
deface
him
.
I
remember
once
I
saw
and
heard
an
Italian
(
being
in
the
E●perour
Charles
the
fifth
his
Campe
)
so
stand
on
his
reputa●ion
,
that
when
a
meane
Gentleman
quarrelled
with
him
,
and
desired
the
Combate
,
hee
aunswered
hee
had
béene
(
Soldado
Vetche
)
an
old
Souldiour
,
and
had
borne
office
,
and
passed
through
sundrie
Offices
by
order
:
and
that
the
Gentleman
was
but
a
young
man
,
and
but
of
twoo
yeares
experience
in
Warre
,
and
farre
vnméete
to
make
challenge
with
him
,
that
had
passed
so
many
steppes
of
honour
,
and
places
of
credite
.
But
sayd
the
Italian
to
his
aduersarie
,
goe
and
doe
that
I
haue
doone
,
or
passe
through
the
like
,
and
when
thou
hast
mounted
vp
,
and
troden
on
euerye
steppe
that
I
haue
passed
:
come
to
mée
and
I
will
fight
with
thée
the
Combate
.
But
to
say
I
will
stoupe
so
lowe
and
abase
my selfe
(
as
a
Lorde
may
in
fighting
with
a
Ruffian
)
beyonde
the
compasse
of
my
calling
,
I
will
not
,
nor
no
Law
of
Armes
can
commaunde
mee
.
The
matter
came
in
question
before
the
Prince
of
Orrange
that
now
is
dead
,
and
the
Duke
of
Sauoy
yet
liuing
,
and
the
challenger
had
a
foule
disgrace
in
the
audience
of
a
multitude
:
and
the
defendaunt
had
a
rewarde
of
fiue
hundreth
Crownes
allowed
him
by
the
Emperour
,
for
preseruing
his
honour
and
estimation
so
much
.
This
was
done
and
openly
seene
,
a
little
before
the
siege
of
Renttie
,
and
standeth
for
a
good
record
.
Then
an
old
souldiour
is
a
Gentleman
,
both
worthy
to
giue
armes
and
colours
,
and
méete
to
be
borne
withall
in
causes
of
quarrell
.
An other
proofe
for
the
maintenaunce
of
my
matter
,
I
saw
at
the
siege
of
Leeth
,
a
Gentleman
of
great
courage
and
birth
(
called
Maister
Ihon
Soutch
)
quarrell
with
Captaine
Randall
,
then
Maior
of
the
fielde
.
And
Mayster
Soutch
did
vrge
through
ill
words
and
stout
language
,
Captaine
Randall
verye
farre
:
which
might
haue
mooued
any
manne
living
.
But
Captaine
Randall
in
a
manner
vsed
those
words
that
the
Italian
had
done
,
before
expressed
:
and
going
further
on
in
communication
,
commaunded
the
Souldiours
to
lay
handes
on
Maister
Soutch
,
and
swore
hee
would
execute
him
,
and
learne
all
other
by
his
boldnesse
,
to
knowe
their
duties
.
And
when
Mayster
Soutch
was
stayed
,
well
qouth
Captaine
Randall
since
thou
hast
challenged
mee
,
I
will
not
vse
my
power
and
authoritie
ouer
thee
:
But
by
the
fayth
of
a
souldier
,
when
I
am
out
of
the
Sergeaunt
Maiors
roume
I
will
meete
thee
,
and
make
thy
heart
ake
for
those
wordes
thou
haste
giuen
:
excepte
thou
repent
before
of
thy
lewde
demeanour
.
Mayster
Soutch
hauing
disgested
,
and
wisely
waighed
this
matter
:
being
talked
withall
of
the
Captaines
in
the
campe
,
came
like
a
Gentleman
on
himselfe
,
and
acknowledged
his
fault
most
dutifully
,
and
with
great
repentaunce
:
for
which
submission
of
his
,
hee
was
the
better
thought
on
after
.
This
shewes
and
declares
,
that
an
auncient
souldiour
and
Officer
hath
a
great
Priuilege
,
and
not
be
compared
with
,
nor
offered
any
iniurie
:
because
hee
carries
the
admiration
of
the
people
,
and
the
honour
of
the
field
.
Yee
shall
find
written
in
the
Spanish
,
and
the
Language
of
the
Portugall
(
which
Portugalles
founde
out
the
Easte
Indians
)
that
there
was
a
mightie
King
of
Calicute
,
and
many
other
Kinges
in
the
Indians
,
whose
Souldiours
were
all
Gentlemen
,
and
did
liue
euer
on
the
s●ipend
that
the
King
allowed
them
.
And
those
Souldiours
had
many
Priuileges
and
titles
of
honour
,
and
stood
so
much
on
their
reputation
:
that
they
would
not
touch
a
Husband
mans
handes
,
nor
suffer
a
Rusticall
fellowe
to
come
into
their
houses
.
And
the
Husbande
men
were
bounde
when
the
Souldiours
goe
in
the
streetes
,
to
crie
with
a
loude
voyce
,
to
make
place
for
the
Souldiours
.
For
if
those
Gentlemen
did
come
,
and
bid
the
Common
people
goe
out
of
the
waie
,
and
they
doe
not
obay
their
commaundement
therein
:
It
was
sufferable
for
the
Gentlemen
Souldiours
,
to
kill
those
obstinate
and
proude
people
.
And
furthermore
the
King
could
not
make
Gentlemen
:
i●
they
were
not
borne
of
some
Noble
stocke
,
of
the
race
of
Souldiours
.
They
could
not
take
their
weapons
,
nor
enter
into
Combate
,
before
they
were
armed
Knightes
.
They
must
at
the
age
of
seauen
yeares
bée
put
to
learne
to
play
with
all
Weapons
,
and
to
the
ende
they
shoulde
bee
perfect
,
their
Maysters
doe
hale
their
armes
verie
farre
out
(
thereby
to
stretch
their
limmes
)
and
afterwarde
they
teach
them
such
Fence
,
as
is
apt
for
that
purpose
.
They
did
by
an
ordinaunce
and
custome
of
theirs
,
honour
and
salute
their
Maysters
that
hadde
taught
them
at
the
Weapons
,
(
which
were
Graduates
and
cunninge
menne
)
wheresoeuer
they
mett
them
in
the
stréete
.
They
were
bound
twoo
Monethes
in
the
yeare
to
plie
their
schoole
,
and
take
a
Lesson
at
their
Maysters
handes
.
By
which
reason
they
were
verie
skilfull
of
their
Weapons
,
and
for
that
cause
they
greatlye
estéemed
themselues
.
They
coulde
not
bee
knighted
,
but
by
the
Kinges
owne
handes
,
who
asked
them
before
he
layde
his
hande
on
their
heades
:
if
they
could
obserue
and
keepe
the
custome
and
ordinaunce
of
gentlemenne
Souldiours
,
and
they
sayde
and
aunswered
the
king
.
They
minded
to
take
that
profession
of
Armes
vppon
them
:
and
so
the
king
caused
a
Sworde
to
be
girded
about
them
,
and
after
embraceth
those
Gentlemen
so
knighted
,
then
they
did
sweare
to
liue
and
die
with
him
,
and
for
him
,
which
oath
they
would
keepe
and
obserue
.
For
if
theyr
Lord
were
slayne
in
the
Warre
:
they
would
fight
to
their
last
breath
,
and
kill
him
that
had
slayne
theyr
King
.
Or
if
at
that
instaunt
they
could
not
bring
their
purpose
to
effecte
,
they
would
watch
and
spie
out
a
conuenient
season
,
for
the
perfourmaunce
of
their
promisse
and
oath
.
And
vndoubtedlie
some
of
them
woulde
reuenge
their
Maysters
death
.
They
hadde
a
great
regarde
to
their
duety
and
endeuoure
.
They
thought
nothinge
so
precious
as
fidelitie
,
and
their
Princes
fauour
.
They
cared
not
for
life
:
so
glorye
might
bee
gotten
by
theyr
death
.
They
serued
most
faythfullye
vnder
them
,
that
gaue
them
intertaynemente
.
They
spared
nothing
,
but
spent
liberally
.
They
applied
their
onely
studies
for
the
mainteinaunce
of
their
king
and
Countrey
.
They
would
not
suffer
any
dishonour
,
nor
offer
anye
iniurie
.
They
thought
it
a
double
death
to
loose
their
good
name
.
They
made
no
accompt
of
their
meat
,
money
,
sléepe
,
or
ease
and
little
estéemed
their
owne
liues
or
persons
when
they
should
make
proofe
and
shewe
of
their
manhood
.
Their
wages
and
stipende
was
so
much
and
so
well
payde
,
that
euerye
one
of
them
might
liue
gallantlye
:
and
the
meanest
might
keepe
to
waite
on
him
a
man
or
a
boye
.
The
Lawe
was
that
they
might
not
marrie
,
and
yet
hadde
Lemmans
and
Women
appoynted
by
order
,
which
they
kepte
and
vsed
well
,
and
all
quarrells
was
auoyded
by
that
meanes
.
For
they
might
not
companie
with
their
women
,
but
at
certaine
seasons
appoynted
.
Thus
they
past
ouer
theyr
life
time
,
without
the
care
and
trouble
of
Wife
and
Children
.
They
might
forsake
vppon
a
good
cause
anye
of
their
Lemmans
.
And
their
Women
might
at
their
owne
willes
forsake
the
menne
.
All
those
that
accompanied
these
Souldiours
were
Gentlewoman
,
and
of
good
birth
,
but
might
not
bee
married
to
anie
person
after
shée
hadde
béene
at
the
Souldiours
commaundement
.
And
because
many
men
by
their
often
chaunging
,
happen
to
haue
the
companye
of
one
Woman
,
they
fathered
not
any
Child
,
though
it
were
neuer
so
much
like
them
:
and
therefore
their
Brothers
children
did
alwayes
inherite
their
Landes
and
goodes
.
And
this
Lawe
that
those
Gentlemen
Souldiours
should
not
marrie
,
was
made
by
a
King
,
that
woulde
not
haue
a
manne
of
Warre
to
fixe
his
loue
on
a
wife
and
children
,
nor
thereby
to
waxe
féeble
spirited
and
effeminate
.
But
the
king
ordained
,
because
these
Gentlemen
should
haue
no
womannish
manners
nor
minds
:
that
they
should
haue
all
thinges
at
their
willes
,
and
liue
in
such
libertie
,
as
no
one
thing
might
drawe
them
from
noble
seruice
,
nor
commaunde
them
to
seruile
drudgerie
.
And
because
they
should
be
the
more
animated
to
liue
in
noble
order
,
and
encouraged
to
serue
well
:
they
were
priuileged
,
that
no
man
might
imprison
them
for
anye
cause
,
nor
they
might
not
bee
put
to
death
by
anye
meane
of
ordinarie
iustice
.
Howbeit
when
one
killed
another
,
or
did
sleepe
with
a
Countrey
Woman
,
or
did
speake
euill
of
the
king
then
raigning
.
Then
would
the
king
hauing
iuste
and
true
information
of
the
matter
,
make
a
Writing
and
sende
the
same
to
a
head
Officer
,
commaunding
him
to
cutte
in
péeces
the
offendour
,
wheresoeuer
hee
was
founde
.
And
after
hee
was
deade
,
there
should
bee
hanged
about
him
the
kinges
Writing
,
to
shewe
the
people
wherefore
hee
suffered
:
but
no
Law
nor
Iustice
coulde
touche
him
,
before
the
king
had
iustlye
condempned
him
.
So
by
this
Libertie
and
honour
that
Souldiours
had
,
is
well
to
bee
séene
,
that
none
by
:
Caesar
might
meddle
with
men
of
Warre
.
And
it
séemeth
this
libertie
was
fetched
from
Alexanders
dayes
,
who
called
his
olde
souldiours
Noble
men
,
and
gaue
them
noble
priuileges
and
rewardes
:
to
cause
the
Worlde
that
did
followe
,
to
augmente
their
renowne
,
and
spreade
theire
fame
to
the
highest
Heauens
,
that
haue
beene
valliant
on
earth
and
Noble
of
minde
.
Which
great
foresight
of
Alexander
and
other
great
Princes
to
aduaunce
Souldiours
:
hath
made
menne
more
like
Gods
,
than
earthly
creatures
,
and
done
such
good
to
the
Worlde
thereby
,
that
there
is
no
Worlde
,
but
will
make
of
men
of
Warre
,
and
giue
place
to
the
goodnesse
of
those
,
that
striue
by
stoutnesse
of
heart
,
and
labour
of
bodie
to
enlarge
the
limmets
and
boundes
of
his
Countrey
.
The
effect
of
this
aboue
expressed
,
was
drawne
out
of
Spanish
,
and
remaines
among
Christians
,
as
a
matter
worthy
noting
,
though
Infidells
did
obserue
them
.
Now
though
a
man
haue
had
charge
,
and
borne
a
number
of
Offices
:
yet
the
name
of
an
old
soldiour
beautifies
his
title
.
But
yet
perticularly
I
will
goe
through
the
offices
,
as
breefly
as
I
maie
,
and
therein
shew
who
may
iustlie
bée
called
Gentlemen
among
them
.
A
Collonell
,
a
Captaine
,
and
Ensigne
bearer
.
A
Lieutenaunt
,
a
Corporall
,
a
Sergeant
of
the
band
,
and
old
souldiour
though
hée
neuer
bare
any
office
,
are
all
gentlemen
,
graunting
and
allowing
that
none
of
the
officers
were
made
for
affection
at
home
.
But
had
their
beginning
by
seruice
in
the
Feelde
,
and
a●e
knowne
of
good
courage
and
conduct
,
and
well
experimented
in
Marsh●all
affaires
.
The
rest
of
other
officers
,
that
haue
noble
roumes
and
places
in
the
Campe
,
néedes
no
setting
out
:
for
all
men
know
such
officers
as
are
chosen
,
(
and
made
by
the
most
noble
in
any
gouernement
)
are
not
to
bee
treated
off
,
for
that
euerye
souldiour
giues
them
due
honour
and
place
.
You
may
not
looke
for
at
my
hands
,
the
originall
&
discourse
of
all
gentlemen
,
albeit
I
go
as
farre
as
I
dare
in
that
behalfe
.
For
I
loue
not
to
meddle
with
thankelesse
labour
,
and
would
be
lothe
to
roue
beyond
my
reach
and
knowledge
:
in
a
matter
that
my
betters
,
as
yet
haue
not
dealt
withall
.
For
a
doubtfull
attempt
,
brings
a
dangerous
construction
.
And
with
drawing
a
strong
Bow
,
a
weake
arme
waxeth
weary
.
Wherfore
I
go
no
further
in
this
matter
,
des●ring
the
Reader
to
bear
with
my
boldnes
herein
,
and
regard
souldiers
as
they
deserue
.
