THE
Henry
8.
STATES-MEN
and
FAVOURITES
OF
ENGLAND
IN
The
Reign
of
King
Henry
the
VIII
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Cardinal
WOLSEY
.
CArdinal
Wolsey
was
not
so
great
in
his
Fortune
,
as
he
was
mean
in
his
Original
:
his
honest
and
industrious
Parents
helped
him
to
a
good
Constitution
,
and
a
great
Spirit
,
(
two
hopeful
steps
to
Greatnesse
;
)
and
his
Ambition
gave
the
opportunity
to
encrease
it
:
he
was
as
pregnant
at
Ipswich-School
,
as
he
was
promising
in
Canterbury-Colledge
;
where
his
Industry
&
parts
advanced
him
to
a
command
over
Noble-men
in
the
Earl
of
Dorset's
Family
,
as
a
School-master
;
as
his
Policy
had
promoted
him
to
an
Imperiousnesse
over
Kings
in
the
quality
of
States-man
.
The
first
step
to
Greatnesse
in
a
Scholar
,
is
Relation
to
a
Nobleman
:
The
best
Education
for
the
Court
,
is
in
the
Palace
:
Nature
made
him
capable
,
the
School
and
University
made
him
a
Scholar
;
but
his
Noble
Employment
made
him
a
Man
:
At
Oxford
he
read
Books
,
at
my
Lord
's
he
read
Men
,
and
observed
Things
:
His
Patrons
two
Parsonages
bestowed
upon
him
,
was
not
so
great
a
Favour
as
the
excellent
Principles
instilled
into
him
;
he
being
not
more
careful
to
instruct
the
young
Men
,
then
their
Father
was
to
tutor
him
:
his
Bounty
makes
him
rich
,
and
his
Recommendation
potent
:
His
Interest
went
far
,
his
Money
farther
.
Bishop
Fox
was
Secretary
to
K.
Henry
the
seventh
,
and
he
to
Bishop
Fox
;
the
One
was
not
a
greater
Favourite
of
the
King
's
,
then
the
other
was
his
;
as
one
that
brought
him
a
Head
capacious
of
all
Observations
,
and
a
Spirit
above
all
Difficulties
:
Others
managed
the
Affairs
of
England
,
Wolsey
understood
its
Interest
:
His
Correspondence
was
good
abroad
;
his
Observations
close
,
deep
,
and
continued
at
home
:
He
improved
what
he
knew
,
and
bought
what
he
knew
not
He
could
make
any
thing
he
read
or
heard
his
own
and
could
improve
any
thing
that
was
his
own
to
the
uttermost
.
No
sooner
was
he
in
with
the
Bishop
of
Winchester
,
but
the
Bishop
was
out
with
the
Earl
of
Surrey
,
to
whom
he
must
have
stooped
,
as
he
did
unto
Nature
and
Age
,
had
not
he
raised
his
Servant
equal
to
himself
in
the
Kings
Favour
,
and
above
Howard
:
He
was
forbid
by
the
Canon
,
Heirs
of
his
Body
;
he
was
enjoyned
by
his
Prudence
to
make
an
Heir
of
his
Favour
,
equally
to
support
and
comfort
his
old
Age
,
and
maintain
his
Interest
.
Children
in
point
of
Policy
,
as
in
point
of
Nature
,
are
a
Blessing
,
and
as
Arrows
in
the
hand
of
a
mighty
man
;
and
happy
is
that
old
Courtier
that
hath
his
Quiver
full
of
them
,
he
shall
not
be
ashamed
when
he
speaks
with
his
enemies
in
the
gate
.
The
old
man
commends
Wolsey
to
Henry
the
Seventh
for
one
fit
to
serve
a
King
,
and
command
Others
:
Forreign
Employment
is
the
Statesmans
first
School
;
to
France
therefore
he
is
sent
,
to
poise
his
English
Gravity
with
French
Debonairness
:
A
well-poised
Quickness
is
the
excellent
temper
.
From
Forreign
Employment
under
an
Old
King
,
he
is
called
home
to
some
Domestick
Services
under
the
Young
One
:
He
as
quickly
found
the
length
of
His
Foot
,
as
he
fitted
him
with
an
easie
Shoo
;
the
King
followed
his
Pleasures
,
and
the
Cardinal
enjoyeth
His
Power
:
The
One
pursued
his
Sports
while
Youth
,
the
other
his
Business
while
Time
served
him
:
(
Give
me
to
Day
,
and
take
thou
to
Morrow
,
is
both
the
Courtier
and
the
Christian's
Language
:
)
The
Favourite
took
in
the
Council-Table
Debates
and
other
State-affairs
in
the
Mass
and
whole
Bulk
of
them
by
Day
,
and
the
King
had
the
Quintessence
of
them
extracted
,
and
the
sum
of
them
represented
to
him
at
Night
:
All
State-Business
was
disposed
of
by
him
,
and
most
Church-Preferments
bestowed
upon
him
;
the
Bishopricks
of
Durham
,
Winchester
and
York
were
in
his
possesson
,
and
all
other
Promotions
in
his
Gift
:
He
was
installed
in
the
Kingdom
(
during
King
Henry's
youthfulness
)
and
had
the
Church
in
Commendam
:
His
great
Services
indeed
could
not
be
managed
without
a
great
Revenue
,
nor
his
greater
Power
supported
,
but
by
an
able
Purse
,
which
may
buy
off
Expedients
as
readily
as
his
Greatness
may
command
them
.
Two
Corrivals
he
had
,
Edward
Stafford
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
Charles
Brandon
Duke
of
Suffolk
:
Brandon
he
despised
,
as
rather
besides
,
saith
my
Author
,
then
against
him
;
he
being
the
Kings
Companion
in
Pleasure
,
and
Wolsey
his
Counsellour
in
Policy
;
the
Duke
great
with
young
Henry
,
the
Bishop
with
the
King
:
Buckingham
he
feared
,
as
popular
;
and
undermined
,
as
proud
:
(
that
Tower
must
fall
,
whose
Foundation
is
hollow
)
Buckingham
was
high
in
Birth
,
Honour
and
Estate
;
Wolsey
higher
in
Prudence
,
whose
Malice
did
the
brave
Duke
much
mischief
,
and
his
own
Folly
more
:
(
Vain-glory
(

State

my
Friend
)
ever
lieth
at
an
open
guard
,
and
gives
much
advantage
of
play
to
her
Enemies
:
)
A
deboyst
King
is
jealous
,
and
a
weak
Nobleman
ambitious
.
In
fine
,
he
is
attainted
of
High
Treason
,
(
though
rather
Corrival
to
the
King
in
his
Cloaths
then
his
Crown
,
in
his
Vanities
then
his
Authority
:
)
but
a
cunning
Upstart
quickly
blows
off
a
young
Noblemans
Cap
and
Feather
,
and
his
Head
too
,
when
it
stands
in
his
way
.
His
power
against
Buckingham
was
his
Shield
against
all
others
:
One
Defence
well
managed
,
one
Adversary
throughly
suppressed
,
is
a
Security
at
Court
,
where
two
men
seldom
fall
the
same
way
.
Many
envied
the
Archbishop
,
the
Cardinal
,
the
Legate
de
latere
,
the
Lord
Chancellour
;
but
all
feared
the
Favourite
:
most
were
discontented
,
but
none
durst
shake
their
Heads
,
lest
they
fell
off
with
Buckingham's
:
the
Bishops
displeasure
was
more
fatal
then
the
Kings
,
whose
wrath
was
violent
,
but
not
lasting
;
as
the
Others
anger
was
of
less
fury
,
but
more
malice
:
his
Power
was
great
,
and
his
Justice
equal
;
for
he
was
too
proud
to
be
bribed
,
and
too
powerful
to
be
over-born
.
But
England
was
too
narrow
a
Theatre
for
this
great
Spirit
,
and
he
aspires
to
Rome
;
and
having
been
these
many
years
Pope
of
this
other
world
,
would
have
been
of
that
beyond
the
waters
:
his
leap
was
great
from
York
to
Rome
,
and
his
rise
as
good
:
Charles
the
Fifth
was
his
Client
,
and
his
Masters
Servant
;
the
Cardinals
were
his
Penfioners
;
and
when
they
failed
(
as
he
is
no
Fox
whose
Den
hath
but
one
hole
,
and
he
no
Statesman
who
when
one
way
is
stopped
,
cuts
not
out
another
)
he
falls
off
from
the
German
Emperour
to
the
French
King
;
where
,
if
he
could
not
carry
his
own
Design
,
he
would
hinder
the
Emperours
;
(
and
Revenge
is
an
Advancement
)
(
so
great
was
he
,
that
his
Friendship
balanced
Europe
,
over-awed
Emperours
,
threatned
Kings
,
and
was
fatal
to
Queens
)
if
he
cannot
be
Pope
of
Rome
,
he
will
shew
he
is
as
good
as
King
of
England
;
for
finding
that
the
King
wanted
a
meet
Yoak-Fellow
for
his
Bed
,
and
a
lawful
Heir-Male
to
his
Crown
,
and
observing
Queen
Katharines
Age
above
her
Husbands
,
and
her
Gravity
above
her
Age
,
being
more
Pious
then
Pleasant
,
a
better
Woman
then
Wife
,
and
a
better
Wife
for
any
Prince
then
King
Henry
;
he
promotes
a
Divorce
(
upon
some
Scruples
intimated
by
the
Spaniard
some
years
before
in
a
Treaty
about
the
Princesse
Mary's
Marriage
,
which
others
had
forgot
,
but
the
Cardinal
laid
up
)
between
the
King
and
Queen
:
but
that
was
not
all
;
but
knowing
that
King
Henry
could
not
have
a
Wife
to
his
minde
,
until
he
had
a
Pope
of
his
own
chusing
,
he
would
help
him
to
a
young
Wife
,
but
he
must
raise
him
to
a
new
power
;
Wolsey
must
be
Pope
,
or
King
Henry
could
not
be
divorced
:
and
to
make
all
sure
,
he
was
no
sooner
to
be
parted
from
a
Daughter
of
Spain
,
then
he
was
to
be
joyned
to
a
Princess
of
France
;
whose
Nuptial
Ring
should
wed
King
Henry
to
Her
,
and
King
Francis
to
Himself
.
Missing
of
Power
,
he
meditates
Honour
;
and
instead
of
lavishing
his
infinite
Treasure
upon
airy
Expectations
,
he
bestoweth
it
on
real
Monuments
,
which
make
his
Memory
as
Renowned
as
his
Life
.
That
Statesman
lives
to
small
purpose
,
whose
Actions
are
as
short
as
his
Life
,
and
his
Exploits
of
no
longer
duration
then
his
Age.
At
this
time
,
though
King
Henry
bore
the
Sword
,
yet
Cardinal
Wolsey
(
as
I
am
told
)
bore
the
stroke
all
over
the
Land
,
being
Legate
à
latere
,
by
vertue
whereof
he
visited
all
Churches
and
Religious
Houses
,
even
the
Friers
Observants
themselves
,
notwithstanding
their
stoutnesse
and
stubbornness
,
that
first
opposed
him
.
Papal
and
Royal
Power
met
in
him
,
being
the
Chancellour
of
the
Land
,
and
keeping
so
many
Bishopricks
in
Commendam
,
that
his
yearly
Income
is
said
to
equal
,
if
not
to
exceed
the
Revenues
of
the
Crown
:
He
gave
the
first
blow
to
Religious
Houses
,
by
making
one
great
Colledge
of
forty
small
Monasteries
;
to
make
way
,
as
some
thought
,
upon
the
Popes
consent
,
procured
by
him
,
to
the
overthrow
of
all
.
He
called
all
Captains
and
Officers
to
an
account
,
who
bought
off
their
own
small
corruption
with
his
great
one
,
and
paid
him
the
Penalties
of
their
Cheats
with
the
Gains
of
it
;
the
Richest
of
them
escaping
,
and
the
Poorest
onely
made
exemplary
.
Several
Courts
of
pretended
Equity
he
erected
;
to
redress
the
poor
,
that
was
the
Colour
;
to
inrich
himself
,
that
was
the
Reality
:
at
whose
constitution
the
Law-Courts
were
unfrequented
,
so
specious
was
their
seeming
Integrity
;
at
the
last
they
are
deserted
,
so
manifest
were
their
real
Grievances
;
the
people
not
flocking
so
fast
after
the
Novelty
,
as
they
ran
away
from
the
Cheat.
What
he
did
to
reform
the
Courtiers
,
as
a
Favourite
,
he
did
to
reform
the
Clergy
as
Legate
;
erecting
a
Court
Legantine
(
not
without
danger
of
a
Praemunire
)
wherein
all
Clergy
were
visited
;
the
Rich
in
their
Purses
,
that
excused
them
,
the
Poor
in
their
Reputation
,
that
compounded
for
them
.
Neither
did
his
profits
arise
from
the
Living
onely
,
but
the
Dead
;
he
engrossing
the
Probation
of
all
Wills
and
Testaments
within
his
own
Court
.
And
not
long
after
,
he
hath
a
Patent
under
the
Great
Seal
of
England
,
to
do
what
he
pleased
in
the
French
Court
,
in
order
to
the
Kings
Progresse
thither
;
as
he
hath
likewise
after
,
with
his
Masters
leave
,
under
the
great
seal
of
France
:
After
which
honour
,
he
was
with
the
Kings
order
,
by
the
English
Subjects
,
the
Lord
Mayor
and
Aldermen
,
&c.
honoured
at
no
lesse
rate
then
that
of
a
Prince
;
and
by
the
Clergy
(
who
kept
close
to
the
publick
temper
)
with
Processions
,
&c.
at
the
same
rate
with
a
Pope
.
Great
he
was
in
England
;
greater
in
Germany
,
where
all
the
Nobility
attended
him
,
the
Great
Seal
of
England
was
carried
before
him
;
and
the
Emperour
observing
his
Commission
and
Honour
,
met
him
with
his
whole
Train
,
and
harangued
it
with
him
no
less
then
two
days
.
He
that
over-ruled
Empires
might
well
presume
on
Subjects
;
and
no
sooner
therefore
doth
he
return
,
then
by
his
own
Authority
he
levieth
four
shillings
in
the
pound
of
every
man
that
was
worth
fifty
pound
per
annum
;
and
when
that
would
not
do
(
pretending
to
the
Lord
Mayor
and
Aldermen
that
he
had
been
upon
his
Knees
to
revoke
those
Commissions
)
other
Letters
for
a
Benevolence
,
which
lost
him
as
much
in
the
Countrey
,
as
his
Reformation
of
the
Houshold
did
him
at
Court
:
But
the
King
employeth
him
to
France
,
as
his
Second
,
and
takes
his
leave
of
him
as
his
intimate
Friend
;
1200
Horse
attended
him
:
Calice
,
Bullein
,
Amiens
honour
him
with
the
name
of
The
Peaceable
Cardinal
;
and
the
Statue
of
a
Cardinal
Rescuing
a
Church
and
a
Pope
from
danger
.
Cardinal
Wolsey
going
over
to
France
upon
an
extraordinary
Embassy
,
had
for
his
Attendance
Tonstal
Bishop
of
London
,
the
Lord
Sands
,
late
Chamberlain
,
the
Earl
of
Derby
,
Sir
Tho.
More
,
Sir
H.
Guilford
,
and
200
Horse
;
and
was
met
two
days
journey
from
Paris
by
King
Francis
and
his
mother
,
carrying
with
him
140000
l.
though
silver
was
but
20
d.
an
ounce
,
to
assist
that
King
in
the
War
against
Charles
the
fifth
;
and
furnished
with
such
a
Plenipotentiary
Commission
,
that
he
gave
Law
to
France
and
the
Popedome
:
and
he
comported
himself
with
such
dexterity
and
high
wisdome
,
that
all
the
Princes
of
Christendom
,
who
had
their
eyes
fixed
upon
him
,
admired
him
.
The
King
gave
him
many
places
,
and
he
bestowed
on
him
his
magnificent
Palaces
;
fitting
his
humour
with
pleasant
habitations
,
and
he
suited
his
ambition
with
power
and
authority
.
But
the
King
broke
with
him
at
last
about
the
divorce
,
being
vexed
with
so
many
delays
,
defers
,
retardings
,
and
prorogations
between
two
Popes
,
Clement
that
was
,
and
Wolsey
that
would
be
:
yet
rather
eased
him
of
his
burdens
,
then
deprived
him
of
his
preferments
;
continuing
him
Bishop
of
York
and
Durham
,
(
when
he
turned
him
out
of
his
Chancellourship
of
England
)
where
he
lived
rather
like
a
Prince
then
a
Priest
,
providing
as
magnificently
for
his
Installation
,
as
a
King
should
for
his
Coronation
:
which
unseasonable
ambition
was
improved
by
his
enemies
malice
and
the
Kings
jealousie
to
his
ruine
:
for
in
the
midst
of
his
solemnities
he
is
arrested
by
the
Kings
order
,
whose
wrath
was
the
Messenger
of
Death
;
and
in
his
way
to
London
,
being
distracted
between
hope
and
fear
,
died
at
Leicester
,
giving
his
servants
large
rewards
,
upon
condition
they
served
none
but
the
King
;
and
breathing
out
his
soul
in
words
to
this
purpose
,
viz.
If
I
had
served
the
God
of
heaven
as
faithfully
as
I
did
my
Master
on
earth
,
he
had
not
forsaken
me
in
my
old
age
,
as
the
other
hath
done
,
he
died
,
swelling
in
his
body
as
he
had
done
in
his
mind
.
When
good
men
die
suddainly
,
it
is
said
they
are
poysoned
;
and
when
the
bad
fall
unexpectedly
,
as
he
did
,
it
is
said
they
poyson
themselves
.
He
died
unpitied
,
because
he
had
lived
feared
;
being
the
great
Bias
of
the
Christian
world
.
Too
suddain
prosperity
in
the
beginning
,
undoeth
us
in
the
end
:
while
we
expect
all
things
flowing
upon
us
as
at
first
,
we
remit
our
care
,
and
perish
by
neglecting
.
Every
head
cannot
bear
wine
,
nor
every
spirit
a
fortune
:
Success
eats
up
Circumspection
.
How
many
a
man
had
ended
better
,
if
he
had
not
begun
so
well
?
It
's
the
Emphasis
of
misery
,
to
be
too
soon
happy
:
Prosperity
growing
up
with
experience
,
takes
a
man
in
a
firm
settlement
,
inured
to
all
events
.
I
will
ever
suspect
the
smooth
waters
for
deepness
:
in
my
worst
estate
I
will
hope
,
in
the
best
I
will
fear
;
in
all
,
I
will
be
circumspect
and
still
.

Grammar
for
Wolsey

not
for
the

:
to
be

to
Superiours
,
is
duty
;
to
Equals
,
is
courtesies
to
Inferiours
,
nobleness
and
to

;
it
being
a
vertue
that
for
a

commandeth
those

In

so
I

Cardinal
Wolsey

too
little
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Charles
Brandon
,
Duke
of
Suffolk
.
SIr
William
Brandon
dying
in
King
Henry
the
seventh's
service
,
no
wonder
if
his
son
lived
in
his
favour
;
it
being
as
prudent
to
continue
his
Loyal
spirit
in
his
son
,
as
it
was
just
to
reward
it
.
He
was
as
intimate
with
Henry
the
eighth
in
his
pleasures
when
a
childe
,
as
in
his
counsels
when
a
man
.
There
was
a
sympathy
between
their
active
spirits
,
which
improved
the
familiarity
of
their
tender
years
to
a
firm
friendship
in
their
age
:
at
a
Tilting
in
Paris
,
to
which
many
young
Noble-men
were
licensed
to
go
,
Brandon
overcame
others
every
day
,
and
one
day
himself
,
(
against
a
Gyant
Almain
)
where
the
Lords
looked
not
on
him
with
more
envious
,
then
the
Ladies
with
gracious
eyes
;
who
(
saith
my
Author
)
darted
more
glances
in
love
,
then
the
other
did
spears
in
anger
against
him
.
He
is
the
compleat
Courtier
,
in
whom
Beauty
and
Valour
,
Mars
and
Venus
,
are
joyned
in
one
happy
constitution
,
which
awes
and
allures
Beholders
.
Being
employed
to
bring
over
Queen
Mary
,
King
Lewis
the
twelfth's
Relict
,
to
her
Brother
,
he
won
her
to
himself
:
whether
his
affections
were
so
ambitious
as
to
climb
up
to
her
,
or
hers
so
humble
as
to
condescend
to
him
,
may
be
the
subject
of
a
more
amorous
discourse
:
and
considering
with
himself
that
matters
of
this
nature
are
never
sure
till
finished
,
that
so
Royal
an
opportunity
happened
but
seldome
,
and
that
leave
for
such
an
enterprize
was
easier
gained
when
it
's
done
,
then
when
doing
;
he
humbly
requested
his
Majesty
to
give
way
to
that
Match
,
which
was
indeed
already
concluded
:
who
after
some
State-discontent
,
was
quickly
pleased
;
the
Duke
being
no
less
esteemed
by
him
for
many
years
,
then
he
was
beloved
by
the
people
.
His
Genius
was
more
Martial
then
Mercurial
;
and
we
hear
of
him
oftner
in
the
French
Wars
,
then
in
the
English
Councils
.
Being
vexed
with
the
delays
at
Rome
,
and
the
delusions
at
Bridewel
,
(
where
the
Cardinals
proceeded
according
to
their
instructions
at
Rome
)
one
day
he
knocks
on
the
Table
in
the
presence
of
the
two
Cardinals
,
and
binds
it
with
an
Oath
,
That
it
was
never
well
in
England
since
Cardinals
had
any
thing
to
do
therein
:
and
from
that
time
forward
,
as
an
active
Instrument
,
he
endeavoured
the
abolishing
of
the
Popes
power
in
England
;
against
whom
he
was
not
more
active
in
the
Parliament
1534
,
then
he
was
vigilant
in
the
Committee
1535
:
in
the
one
,
cutting
off
the
head
;
in
the
other
,
weakening
the
members
of
that
Church
.
He
made
provident
,
yet
moderate
use
of
his
Masters
favours
;
thereby
obliging
others
,
and
securing
himself
;
being
above
Mercenary
inclinations
as
much
in
his
thoughts
,
as
in
his
fortune
:
he
was
neither
too
near
the
King
,
lest
he
were
weary
of
him
;
nor
too
far
off
,
lest
he
forgot
him
,
or
thought
himself
neglected
by
him
.
His
intermissions
of
attendance
gave
others
no
advantage
,
but
rendred
him
more
gracious
:
he
neither
engrossed
nor
confined
his
Masters
affection
.
It
was
easie
for
him
to
rise
,
being
descended
of
Noble
Blood
,
(
which
is
never
envied
for
its
advancement
)
and
as
easie
to
keep
high
,
being
well
studied
in
his
Princes
disposition
,
whose
inclination
when
found
is
half
fitted
;
ever
pleasing
his
Masters
Natural
humour
,
never
his
Vicious
.
Having
attained
a
competent
heighth
,
he
chose
rather
to
grow
stronger
by
relation
,
then
higher
by
advancements
.
Some
Favourites
whose
heels
have
been
tripped
up
by
their
adversaries
,
have
with
their
hands
held
on
their
Allies
till
they
could
recover
their
feet
again
.
His
familiarity
,
and
the
easie
access
to
him
,
made
him
popular
:
his
pliant
temper
kept
him
a
Favourite
,
until
he
died
in
the
full
favour
of
his
Prince
,
though
(
as
Cardinal
Pool
observed
)
They
who
were
highest
in
this
Kings
favour
,
had
their
heads
nearest
danger
.
He
had
a
becoming
Bluntness
not
unlike
his
Masters
,
which
we
call
Free-heartedness
in
Courtiers
;
Conscience
and
Christian
simplicity
in
Clergie-men
;
Valour
in
Souldiers
.
He
died
anno
1544.
much
beloved
and
lamented
of
all
,
for
his
Bounty
,
Humility
,
Valour
,
and
all
Noble
Vertues
since
the
heat
of
his
Youth
was
tamed
by
his
reduced
Age
:
whose
two
sons
Henry
and
Charles
died
within
twelve
hours
one
of
the
other
,
155●
.

A
Calm
Greatness
is
next
the
happiness
of
Heaven
:
Give
me
the
man
that
by
a
fair
and
calm
course
is
still
rising
to
an
higher
state
,
yet
content
with
his
present
fortune
.

Integrity
out-lasts
Power
,
and
Plainness
survives

:
An
honest
heart
keeps
the
head
on
the
shoulders
;
a
Noble
and
clear
Vertue
is
lasting
.

It
's
likeness
that
makes
the
True-love-knot
of
friendship
:
When
a
Prince
finds
another
of
his
own
disposition
,
what
is
it
but
the
same
soul
in
a
divided
body
?
what
findes
he
but
himself
intermutually
transposed
?
And
Nature
that
makes
us
love
our selves
,
makes
us
with
the
same
reason
love
those
that
are
like
us
:
for
this
is
a
Friend
,
a
more
sacred
Name
then
a
Brother
.

He
that
hath

He
is

that
is

Observations
on
Thomas
Cranmer
,
Lord
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
.
CRanmer
had
a
Noble
Blood
,
quickning
and
raising
his
spirit
,
as
he
had
an
indefatigable
industry
to
improve
it
.
He
was
a
Gentleman
born
in
Arselecton
in
Nottinghamshire
,
and
a
Noble-man
bred
in
Jesus-Colledge
in
Cambridge
.
His
Ancestors
were
no
less
eminent
at
Cranmers-hall
in
Lincolnshire
,
then
he
was
at
Lambeth
in
Surrey
.
They
came
in
with
the
Conquest
,
(
as
one
Cranmer
a
French
Ambassadour
in
Henry
the
eighth's
time
,
at
the
Archbishops
Table
,
made
it
evident
)
and
he
with
the
Reformation
.
His
Education
was
as
Gentile
as
his
Birth
,
onely
his
mild
spirit
meeting
with
a
severe
Master
,
his
memory
was
weakened
,
and
his
spritefulness
allayed
:
but
the
austerity
of
the
School
was
sweetned
with
the
exercises
of
the
Country
,
which
his
Father
indulged
him
when
young
,
and
he
indulged
himself
when
aged
;
handling
his
great
Horse
as
nimbly
,
his
Bow
and
Net
as
dexterously
as
any
man
in
his
family
.
His
Marriage
withdrew
him
from
the
Colledge
,
and
consequent
Church-preferment
,
as
the
Kings
did
him
from
the
Church
it self
.
He
whose
marriage
forbid
him
a
Fellowship
in
Jesus-Colledge
,
had
a
Lecture
in
Buckingham-house
for
his
Parts
and
Reputation
,
where
at
once
he
prepared
others
for
publick
Employments
,
and
himself
also
.
He
lived
as
soberly
at
the
Dolphine-tavern
with
his
wife
,
(
whatever
the
Papists
have
surmized
)
as
he
did
studiously
at
Buckingham-house
with
his
Scholars
.
His
Name
was
so
famous
,
that
Wolsey
was
not
more
sollicitous
to
transplant
him
as
an
Ornament
to
Oxford
,
then
Fisher
was
to
retain
him
in
Cambridge
;
where
he
was
eminent
for
the
Arts
,
more
for
Divinity
,
which
(
when
as
one
of
the
three
Cenfors
he
examined
Candidates
)
he
said
he
expected
not
in
the
difficult
trifles
of
Lumbard
,
but
in
the
sacred
sense
of
Scriptures
,
the
ancient
Doctrine
of
Fathers
,
the
grave
Canons
of
Councils
,
the
solid
Politeness
of
the
Greek
and
Hebrew
Learning
;
and
which
he
lived
as
well
as
he
taught
,
in
his
sober
temperance
,
his
mild
meekness
,
(
so
placable
,
so
courteous
,
that
to
offend
him
,
was
the
way
to
ingratiate
with
him
)
his
discreet
moderation
,
his
grave
resolution
equally
above
the
frowns
and
smiles
of
fortune
.
Thus
qualified
,
he
was
by
a
Providence
commended
to
his
Majesty
:
for
there
being
a
Plague
in
Cambridge
,
as
there
was
all
over
England
,
Dr.
Cranmer
retired
to
Waltham
with
two
of
his
Pupils
,
the
sons
of
one
Mr.
Cressy
:
where
upon
the
Kings
Progress
thither
,
he
met
with
his
Chaplain
and
Almoner
Dr.
Foxe
,
(
afterwards
Bishop
of
Hereford
)
who
lodging
with
him
at
Mr.
Cressy's
,
discoursed
the
Kings
Divorce
.
Cranmer
conceived
that
the
speediest
course
were
to
prove
the
unlawfulness
of
the
Match
by
Scripture
;
whence
it
would
follow
,
that
the
Pope
at
first
had
no
power
to
dispense
therewith
;
and
that
the
Universities
of
Christendome
would
sooner
and
truer
decide
the
case
then
the
Court
of
Rome
.
This
passage
Foxe
reports
to
the
King
,
who
well-pleased
thereat
,
professeth
that
this
man
had
the
Sow
by
the
right
Ear
:
Glad
was
the
King
to
see
him
,
(
indeed
he
had
a
comely
Person
,
and
a
pleasing
Countenance
;
)
more
to
hear
him
inlarge
himself
on
the
former
Subject
,
That
it
was
above
the
Popes
power
to
dispence
with
Gods
Word
in
the
Kings
Case
:
What
he
said
to
the
King
,
he
was
sent
to
make
it
good
to
the
Pope
;
whither
,
invested
with
the
Arch-Deaconry
of
Taunton
,
he
went
with
Thomas
Bullen
Earl
of
Wil●shire
;
whose
first
Address
to
the
Pope
,
was
to
present
a
Book
of
Cranmers
,
proving
Gods
Law
indispensible
with
by
the
Pope
:
the
Author
is
preferred
to
the
great
Title
of
Supreme
Poenitentiary
,
and
the
Treatise
is
promised
a
Consideration
and
Debate
:
But
the
Pope
delaying
,
and
according
to
Cranmer's
Advice
ten
Universities
declaring
against
him
;
the
Embassador
returns
to
England
,
and
the
Disputant
goes
to
Vienna
,
where
in
Osianders
House
(
whose
Kinswoman
he
had
married
)
he
confirmed
those
that
wavered
,
satisfied
those
that
doubted
,
and
won
those
that
contradicted
in
King
Henry's
Cause
.
But
he
served
not
King
Henry
more
faithfully
in
Germany
,
then
he
provided
for
him
honourably
in
England
;
where
the
Kings
Cause
waited
for
his
Assistance
,
and
the
See
of
Canterbury
for
his
Acceptance
:
He
was
willing
to
promote
Religion
,
he
was
unwilling
(
for
some
Formalities
he
scrupled
)
to
advance
himself
:
but
after
seven
Weeks
delay
,
it
being
as
fatal
to
refuse
King
Henry's
Favours
,
as
to
offer
him
Injuries
,
he
is
Archbishop
in
his
own
Defence
;
in
which
capacity
,
to
serve
the
King
,
and
salve
his
own
Conscience
,
he
used
the
Expedient
of
a
Protestation
to
this
purpose
:
In
nomine
,
&c.
Non
est
nec
erit
meae
voluntatis
aut
intentionis
per
hujusmodi
Juramentum
&
juramenta
,
qualiter
verba
in
ipsis
posita
sonare
videbuntur
,
me
obligare
ad
aliquid
;
ratione
eorundem
post
hac
dicendum
,
faciendum
aut
attestandum
,
quod

aut
esse
videbitur
contra
legem
Dei
,
vel
contra
Regem
,
aut
Rempublicam
,
legesve
,
aut
Praerogativa
ejus
:
&
quod
non
intendo
per
hujusmodi
juramentum
quovis

quò

,
prerogativam

,
concernentibus
,
&

&

quae
in
Ecclesia
Anglicana
reformanda
videbuntur
.
This
Protestation
he
made
three
times
;
once
at
the
Charter-House
,
another
time
at
the
Altar
,
and
a
third
time
at
the
receiving
of
his
Pall.
In
his
place
he
was
moderate
,
between
the
Superstition
of
Rome
,
and
the
Phrensies
of
Munster
.
As
he
was
chief
Instrument
in
beginning
the
Reformation
,
so
he
was
in
continuing
it
:
He
withstood
the
Six
Articles
,
and
(
though
the
King
sent
five
prime
Ministers
of
State
to
comfort
him
)
would
not
be
satisfied
,
until
he
saw
them
mitigated
in
King
Henry's
time
,
and
repealed
in
King
Edward's
.
Gardiner
would
have
questioned
him
for
entertaining
forreign
Hereticks
,
and
promoting
Domestick
Schisms
;
the
Northern
Rebells
accused
him
for
subverting
the
Church
:
but
the
King
upheld
him
against
both
;
suppressing
the
One
,
and
checking
the
Other
;
and
advising
the
good
Man
,
whom
he
called
Fool
,
for
his
meek
disposition
,
to
appeal
to
him
:
Whereupon
Russel
cried
The
King
will
never
suffer
him
to
be
imprisoned
,
until
you
finde
Him
guilty
of
High
Treason
.
He
is
to
be
pitied
for
his
intermediate
failings
,
but
renowned
for
his
final
constancy
.
The
King
having
declared
before
all
his
Servants
,
that
Cranmer
was
his
best
Servant
,
he
employeth
him
in
his
best
service
,
the
Reformation
of
Religion
,
wherein
all
others
failed
;
but
the
King
,
Cromwel
and
Brandon
backed
him
so
far
,
that
he
had
the
Bible
and
the
necessary
Offices
of
the
Church
translated
into
English
:
He
had
both
Universities
at
his
command
:
He
brought
the
Lords
House
and
Convocation
to
his
Lure
;
and
was
invested
with
a
Power
,
1.
To
grant
Dispensations
in
all
things
not
repugnant
to
Gods
Law
,
nor
the
Kings
safety
:
2.
To
determine
Ecclesiastical
Causes
,
He
as
charitably
as
politickly
advised
the
King
to
accept
of
Bishop
Fisher's
partial
Subscription
,
considering
his
Learning
and
Reputation
.
As
he
is
King
Henry's
Instrument
at
Dunstable
,
to
divorce
him
from
Queen
Katharine
;
so
he
is
at
Lambeth
,
to
divorce
him
from
Anna
Bullen
.
He
promoted
in
the
Convocation
all
Primitive
Doctrines
,
and
condemned
all
new-fangled
Opinions
.
He
was
so
charitable
,
that
he
interceded
with
the
King
for
his
Enemies
;
so
munificent
,
that
he
made
the
Church
and
his
own
House
a
Refuge
for
Strangers
;
particularly
for
P.
Fagius
,
P.
Martyr
,
Martin
Bucer
,
&c.
The
King
loved
him
for
his
Integrity
,
the
People
for
his
Moderation
:
He
was
called
the
Kings
Father
,
and
was
Queen
Elizabeth's
Godfather
:
His
Piety
reduced
the
Church
,
and
his
Policy
the
State
:
He
spake
little
to
others
,
he
conferred
much
with
himself
:
Three
words
of
His
could
do
more
then
three
hours
discourse
of
Others
:
He
wousd
say
,
as
Victorinus
,
There
is
a
time
to
say
nothing
,
there
is
a
time
to
say
something
,
but
there
is
never
a
time
to
say
all
things
.
That
King
who
awed
all
Others
,
feared
Him
.
A
Second
to
the
Eternal
Power
,
is
the
Wise
Man
uncorrupt
in
his
Life
.
He
was
the
Executor
of
God's
Will
in
King
Henry's
Life-time
,
and
the
first
of
His
,
after
his
Death
.
As
He
spurred
King
Henry
to
a
Reformation
,
so
King
Edward
did
Him
;
whose
Prudence
was
not
so
forward
as
the
Others
Zeal
,
who
looked
at
what
was
Lawful
,
as
He
did
at
what
was
Convenient
.
He
maintained
the
Churches
Power
as
resolutely
against
Bishop
Hooper's
Scruples
,
notwithstanding
potent
Intercession
;
as
he
reformed
its
Corruptions
against
the
Popes
Interest
,
notwithstanding
a
general
Opposition
.
He
allowed
not
the
least
Errour
in
,
not
the
least
contempt
of
the
Church
:
He
restored
its
primitive
Doctrine
and
Discipline
,
lest
it
should
be
an
impure
Church
;
he
upheld
them
,
lest
it
should
be
none
:
He
was
one
of
fourteen
that
compiled
the
Common-Prayer
:
He
was
One
of
Two
that
set
out
the
Homilies
;
and
the
onely
man
that
published
the
Institution
of
a
Christian
man
,
and
other
good
Books
.
With
his
Advice
King
Edward
did
much
,
and
designed
more
:
He
was
the
chief
Author
of
King
Edward's
Injunctions
,
and
the
first
Commissioner
in
them
:
He
was
President
of
the
Assembly
at
Windsor
,
(
for
Reformation
)
and
of
the
Council
at
London
:
His
Articles
were
strict
and
severe
;
as
much
grounded
on
the
Canon
of
Scripture
,
as
on
the
Canons
of
the
Church
:
He
convinced
more
Papists
with
his
Reason
and
Moderation
,
then
others
by
their
Power
:
His
Heart
never
failed
him
in
his
Life
,
and
it
was
not
burned
at
his
Death
.
He
did
so
much
for
the
Protestant
Religion
in
King
Henry's
Days
,
that
he
foresaw
he
should
suffer
for
it
in
Queen
Mary's
:
He
was
unwilling
to
wrong
Queen
Mary
and
Queen
Elizabeth
,
therefore
he
refused
at
first
to
sign
King
Edward's
Testament
,
but
Duke
Dudley's
Will
:
He
was
willing
to
continue
the
Protestant
Religion
,
therefore
he
signed
it
at
last
.
It
was
a
Bishop
that
was
one
of
the
first
that
abolished
Popery
in
England
,
and
one
of
the
last
that
died
for
Protestantisme
:
It
was
a
Bishop
that
maintained
the
Protestant
Cause
with
Arguments
while
he
lived
,
and
with
his
Blood
when
he
died
.
Observations
on
Sir
Thomas
More
,
Lord
Chancellour
of
England
.
HE
rise
up
high
,
because
he
stept
out
well
:
Sir
Thomas
More
was
half
way
Chancellour
,
when
born
to
Sir
John
More
Chief
Justice
:
The
Father's
Prudence
,
Wit
and
Noblenesse
flowed
with
his
Blood
to
the
Sons
Veins
:
Much
Honour
he
received
from
his
Family
,
more
he
gave
to
it
:
His
Mother
saw
his
Face
shining
in
&
Dream
,
on
her
Wedding
Night
;
and
his
Father
saw
his
Life
so
really
:
A
quick
City-Spirit
made
him
capable
of
great
State-Employments
.
He
was
saved
by
a
Miracle
,
and
was
One
:
For
his
Nurse
riding
with
him
over
a
Water
,
and
being
in
some
danger
,
threw
him
over
a
Hedge
,
where
she
found
him
not
hurt
,
but
sweetly
smiling
[

upon
her
.
A
Free-school
seasoned
his
forward
Childhood
;
and
the
grave
,
wise
and
excellent
Cardinal
Mortons
House
his
Youth
:
The
One
with
Learning
,
to
make
him
a
Scholar
;
the
Other
with
Prudence
,
to
make
him
a
Man
:
But
the
Distractions
of
that
House
were
not
so
proper
for
his
promising
Ingenuity
,
as
the
Retirements
of
the
University
;
where
in
two
years
time
he
shewed
what
Wonders
Wit
and
Diligence
could
do
in
Rhetorick
,
Logick
and
Philosophy
:
The
[
](A48796-e9160-b)b
b
Christ-Church
.
Colledge
kept
him
strict
,
and
his
Father
short
,
so
that
(
as
he
blessed
God
afterward
)
He
had
neither
the
leisure
nor
the
means
to
be
vicious
:
The
Cardinal
said
he
would
be
Great
,
and
his
excellent
Genius
said
he
would
be
Humble
:
The
Lord
Chancellour
would
give
place
to
,
and
ask
blessing
of
the
Lord
Chief
Justice
:
The
Father
being
not
more
happy
in
his
Son
,
then
the
Son
in
his
Father
.
At
17
his
wit
was
eminent
for
his
Epigrams
:
His
Antilucian
Oration
commended
by
all
men
but
Brixius
,
for
pure
,
genuine
and
flowing
:
At
18
his
wisdom
in
overcoming
his
Antagonist
Brixius
with
kindness
,
and
Himself
with
Mortifications
.
His
fastings
were
frequent
,
his
watchings
on
the
hard
ground
revere
;
his
Hair-cloath
even
in
his
Chancellourship
course
,
his
exercises
among
the
Cartbusians
in
the
Charterhouse
for
four
years
austere
;
his
design
for
the
Franciscan
Hood
,
and
a
Priesthood
with
his
Friend
Lilly
,
solemn
;
His
prayers
uninterrupted
:
When
the
King
sent
for
him
once
at
Mass
,
he
answered
,
That
when
be
bad
done
with
God
,
he
would
wait
on
his
Majesty
:
He
imitated
Picus
Mirandula's
Life
,
and
writ
it
:
He
heard
Dr.
Collet
his
Confessours
Sermons
,
and
followed
his
life
;
whose
experience
was
his
counsel
,
whose
conversation
was
his
life
.
He
could
not
away
with
the
good
Sermon
of
a
bad
man
:
Collet
was
his
Father
;
Linacre
,
Lilly
,
Grocine
,
were
his
Friends
.
He
learned
more
by
prayer
,
then
he
did
by
study
:
his
Poems
were
acute
,
his
Speeches
pure
and
copious
,
his
Latine
elegant
;
yet
his
head
was
knotty
and
Logical
:
his
Diet
was
temperate
,
his
Apparel
plain
,
his
Nature
tractable
and
condenscending
(
though
very
discerning
)
to
the
meanest
mens
counsel
;
his
Vertues
solid
,
not
boasted
.
In
a
word
,
the
foundation
of
his
Life
was
as
low
as
the
building
was
to
be
high
.
He
married
himself
to
[

He

Colts

.
Vertue
,
and
not
to
an
Estate
:
he
likes
a
younger
sister
,
yet
out
of
civility
he
embraceth
the
elder
.
Happy
he
was
in
his
modest
Wives
,
happier
in
his
hopeful
Children
.
His
Government
of
his
Family
was
exact
,
enjoyning
all
his
Children
to
take
Vertue
for
their
meat
,
and
Play
for
their
sawce
.
His
proficiency
in
the
[
](A48796-e9460-b)b
b
whereby
he
was
double
Reader
.
Law
was
admirable
,
his
Practice
successful
,
his
Judgement
solid
,
his
Integrity
eminent
;
his
Determinations
in
the
Sheriffs
Court
,
his
Activity
for
the
Stilyard
,
his
Practice
in
the
Courts
of
Justice
,
raised
him
to
a
place
in
Parliament
:
where
he
was
so
good
a
Patriot
,
that
he
displeased
King
Henry
the
seventh
;
and
so
wise
a
man
,
that
he
awed
King
Henry
the
eighth
:
the
one
by
Foxe
demands
one
Subsidie
and
three
Fifteens
,
and
the
beardless
Boy
(
as
the
Courtiers
called
Sir
Thomas
)
disappointed
him
;
the
other
made
a
motion
by
Wolsey
,
which
he
overthrew
,
so
that
the
Cardinal
wished
him
at
Rome
.
He
retires
to
his
studies
to
avoid
Henry
the
seventh's
displeasure
,
and
improves
them
to
gain
his
sons
favour
,
who
by
his
Cardinal
invited
him
to
Court
,
and
employed
him
abroad
to
France
to
recover
his
debts
;
to
Flanders
,
to
confirm
the
peace
.
Employments
he
avoided
a
while
,
to
keep
his
City-interest
:
and
in
case
of
controversie
with
the
King
,
to
prevent
their
jealousie
:
his
business
was
so
urgent
,
that
you
would
think
he
had
no
leasure
;
and
his
writings
so
exact
,
that
you
would
think
he
had
no
business
.
Not
a
minute
of
his
time
escaped
employment
.

His
advice
was
his

recreation
at

.

the
King
at
Court
,
then
he
was
serviceable
to
him
in
appeasing
tumults
,
&c.
in
the
City
.
He
was
the
Kings
Favourite
at
White-hall
,
and
the
Peoples
Darling
at
Westminster
,
where
he
was
Speaker

equally
careful
of

;
neither
awed
from

nor
flattered
with

.

declined

much
Dexterity

swelleth

hath
unwonted
motions

so
may
we
see
here
many
of
our
English-men
,
which
a
few
years
ago
could
not
endure
to
hear
the
name
of
an
Heretick
or
Schismatick
,
now
to
be
contented
both
to
suffer
them
,
and
to
praise
them
somewhat
,
yea
,
to
learn
by
little
and
little
,
as
much
as
they
can
be
suffered
,
to
finde

to

willingly
the

and

Some

hate
Hypocrisie

14.
When
any
detracted
others
at
his
Table
,
he
said
,
Let
any
man
think
as
he
pleaseth
,
I
like
this
room
well
.
15.
It
's
easier
to
to
prevent
,
then
redress
.
Indeed
throughout
his
Works
he
argueth
sharply
,
he
reasoneth
profoundly
,
he
urgeth
aptly
,
stateeth
exactly
,
expresseth
himself
elegantly
,
and
discourseth
learnedly
.
He
would
rather
convince
,
then
punish
;
yet
he
would
rather
punish
then
indulge
them
:
his
Epitaph
bespeaking
him
grievous
to
Hereticks
,
Thieves
and
Murtherers
.
When
King
Henry
scrupled
his
first
marriage
,
Sir
Thomas
told
him
,
That
neither
he
nor
my
Lord
of
Durham
were
so
fit
to
advise
him
in
that
case
,
as
St.
Augustine
,
St.
Jerome
,
and
the
other
Fathers
.
His
advice
was
so
unseasonable
,
that
it
opposed
the
King
;
yet
so
grave
and
honest
,
that
it
pleased
him
.
His
Experience
and
Prudence
had
a
fore-sight
next
door
to
Prophecy
;
and
from
the
unquiet
times
of
King
Henry
,
did
he
guess
the
ruine
of
King
Charles
.
He
converted
many
with
his
Arguments
,
more
with
his
Prayers
,
which
workt
wonders
of
reformation
on
the
erroneous
,
as
they
did
of
recovery
on
the
weak
.
He
wished
three
things
to
Christendome
:
1.
An
Universal
Peace
:
2.
An
Uniform
Religion
:
3.
A
Reformation
rather
of
Lives
then
Religion
.
He
never
asked
any
thing
of
his
Majesty
but
Employment
,
and
never
took
any
thing
more
acceptable
then
Service
.
His
Alms
were
liberal
to
his
Neighbours
,
and
good
works
numerous
[
](A48796-e10080-b)g
g
He
built
a
Chappel
at
Chelsey
,
and
hired
an
Alms-house
there
.
towards
God
.
He
would
take
no
Fees
from
the
Poor
,
and
but
moderate
ones
from
the
Rich.
All
London
was
obliged
to
him
for
his
Counsel
at
home
,
and
all
England
for
his
Peace
at
Cambray
,
where
he
out-did
expectation
.
The
King
raised
him
to
the
Chancellourship
,
but
not
to
his
own
opinion
:
he
professed
he
would
serve
his
Majesty
,
but
he
must
obey
his
God
:
he
would
keep
the
Kings
conscience
and
his
own
.
His
Wisdome
and
Parts
advanced
him
,
his
Innocence
and
Integrity
ruined
him
:
his
Wit
pleased
the
King
,
but
his
Resolution
crossed
him
.
Wolsey
was
not
so
proud
and
reserved
,
as
Sir
Thomas
was
open
and
free
to
the
meanest
:
his
minde
was
not
so
dazled
with
honour
,
but
he
could
foresee
his
fall
.
When
his
sons
complained
how
little
they
gained
under
him
,
I
will
do
justice
(
said
he
)
for
your
sakes
to
any
man
,
and
I
will
leave
you
a
blessing
;
decreeing
one
day
against
his
own
son
that
would
not
hear
reason
.
First
,
he
offered
the
Judges
the
Reformation
of
Grievances
;
and
when
they
refused
,
he
did
it
himself
.
—
No
Subpoena
was
granted
but
what
he
[
](A48796-e10220-b)h
h
With
the
cause
attested
by
the
Attorney
,
in
token
whereof
when
one
Tubbe
brought
him
a
Subpoena
to
subscribe
,
finding
it
frivolous
,
he
writ
under
it
a
tale
of
a
tub
.
saw
,
no
Order
but
what
he
perused
;
nothing
passed
from
him
towards
the
subject
,
but
what
became
a
good
Magistrate
;
nothing
towards
his
Master
,
but
what
became
a
faithful
servant
.
Neither
King
nor
Queen
could
corrupt
,
neither
could
the
whole
Church
in
Convocation
fasten
any
thing
upon
him
.
To
one
who
told
him
of
his
Detractors
,
he
said
,
Would
you
have
me
punish
those
by
whom
I
reap
more
benefit
then
by
all
you
my
friends
?
Perfect
Patience
is
the
Companion
of
true
Perfection
.
But
he
managed
not
his
trust
with
more
integrity
and
dexterity
,
then
he
left
it
with
honour
;
leaving
not
one
cause
undecided
in
the
Chancery
:
foreseeing
that
he
could
not
at
once
content
his
Majesty
and
his
own
heart
.
His
Servants
upon
his
fall
he
disposed
of
as
well
as
his
children
;
and
his
Children
he
taught
to
live
soberly
in
a
great
Estate
,
and
nobly
in
a
mean
one
.
He
never
put
an
Heretick
to
death
when
Chancellour
,
neither
would
he
suffer
Heresies
to
live
when
a
private
man
.
When
my
Lord
Cromwel
came
to
him
in
his
retirement
,
he
advised
him
to
tell
the
King
what
he
ought
,
not
what
he
can
do
;
so
shall
you
shew
your self
a
true
and
faithful
servant
,
and
a
right
worthy
Councellour
:
for
if
a
Lyon
knew
his
own
strength
,
hard
were
it
for
any
man
to
rule
him
.
The
King
feared
him
when
he
could
not
gain
him
,
and
therefore
he
was
sifted
in
his
former
carriage
and
present
temper
,
which
continued
constant
to
his
duty
,
and
even
under
his
changes
.
He
was
open-hearted
to
all
that
came
,
yet
so
wary
in
his
discourse
with
the
Maid
of
Kent
,
that
his
enemies
confessed
he
deserved
rather
honour
then
a
check
for
that
matter
.
When
the
Duke
of
Norfolk
told
him
,
that
the
wrath
of
a
Prince
is
death
;
he
said
,
Nay
,
if
that
be
all
,
you
must
die
to
morrow
,
and
I
today
.
He
behaved
himself
at
all
Examinations
at
once
wisely
and
honestly
.
When
Archbishop
Cranmer
told
him
,
he
must
obey
the
King
which
was
certain
,
rather
then
follow
his
conscience
which
was
uncertain
;
he
replyed
,
It
's
as
certain
that
I
must
not
obey
the
King
in
evil
,
as
that
I
must
follow
my
conscience
in
good
.
When
the
Abbot
of
Westminster
told
him
,
his
conscience
should
yeild
to
the
wisdome
of
the
Kingdome
,
he
said
,
He
would
not
conform
his
conscience
to
one
Kingdome
,
but
to
the
whole
Church
.
He
underwent
his
sufferings
with
as
much
cheerfulness
as
his
preferment
;
pleasing
himself
with
his
misfortunes
,
and
enjoying
his
misery
;
resolving
to
obey
God
rather
then
man
,
to
leave
others
to
their
own
consciences
;
to
close
with
the
Catholick
Church
rather
then
the
Church
of
England
,
and
to
submit
to
general
Councils
rather
then
to
Parliaments
.
Mr.
Rich
put
to
him
this
Question
,
Whether
if
the
Parliament
made
a
Law
that
he
were
Pope
,
would
he
not
submit
to
it
?
and
he
replyed
,
If
the
Parliament
made
another
that
God
should
not
be
God
,
would
you
obey
it
?
Though
he
could
not
own
the
Kings
Supremacy
,
yet
he
would
not
meddle
with
it
either
in
his
Writings
or
discourse
;
shewing
himself
at
once
a
civil
man
,
a
good
Christian
,
and
a
noble
Confessour
.
His
soul
was
well
setled
;
his
stature
was
mean
,
but
well
proportioned
;
his
complexion
phlegmatiqne
;
his
countenance
amiable
and
cheerful
;
his
voice
plain
and
distinct
;
and
his
temper
sound
and
healthful
.
WHo
is
the
honest
man
?
He

doth
still
and
strongly
good
pursue

the

that
of

and
that
of

all

rest
;
being
no
Stranger
to
Germany
,
well
acquainted
with
France
,
most
familiar
with
Italy
;
so
that
the
result
of
all
together
made
him
for
Endowments
eminent
,
not
to
say
admirable
.
His
Apprehension
was
quick
and
clear
;
his
Judgement
methodical
and
solid
;
his
Memory
strong
and
rational
;
his
Tongue
fluent
and
pertinent
;
his
Presence
stately
and
obliging
;
his
Heart
large
and
noble
;
his
Temper
patient
and
cautious
;
his
Way
industrious
and
indefatigable
;
his
Correspondence
well
laid
,
and
constant
;
his
Converse
insinuating
and
close
:
None
more
dexterous
to
finde
out
,
none
more
reserved
to
keep
a
Secret
.
He
was
equal
(
saith
my
Author
)
to
the
French
Politicians
,
when
under
his
Master
;
he
over-reached
them
when
alone
;
doing
more
in
one
month
with
his
subtle
Head
,
then
the
other
in
twelve
months
with
his
stately
Train
:
The
King
of
France
would
have
pensioned
up
his
parts
,
but
the
Vice-Roy
of
England
advanced
them
.
His
Master
brought
him
first
to
serve
his
Country
in
Parliament
(
that
great
School
of
Experience
)
and
then
his
King
at
Court
;
where
defending
his
Masters
great
actions
,
he
made
it
evident
he
could
perform
greater
:
such
was
his
Wit
,
such
his
Eloquence
,
that
they
who
hated
the
Client
,
admired
the
Advocate
:
And
thoug●
he
could
not
keep
his
Patron
from
falling
,
yet
he
raised
himself
;
that
being
the
first
time
his
Eminent
Parts
were
observed
:
An
advantagious
starting
is
more
then
half
way
in
the
Race
of
Preferment
:
For
hereupon
he
is
first
Master
of
the
Kings
Jewels
,
and
then
of
what
was
more
precious
,
his
Secrets
.
His
conscience
inclined
him
to
the
Churches
Reformation
,
his
Interest
complied
with
the
Kings
;
he
unlocked
the
secrets
of
Monasteries
by
his
Spies
,
and
put
the
King
upon
destroying
them
by
his
Power
:
The
University
of
Cambridge
made
him
Chancellour
,
to
save
it self
;
where
though
he
did
no
great
good
,
yet
his
Greatness
kept
others
from
doing
harm
,
in
an
Age
wherein
Covetousness
could
quarrel
a
Colledge
,
as
well
as
an
Abbey
,
into
superstition
.
He
was
trusted
by
the
King
with
the
Rolls
and
Records
of
England
;
and
by
the
Scholars
,
with
the
Charters
and
Statutes
of
their
Universities
:
He
reforms
the
University
,
in
order
to
the
Reformation
of
the
Church
;
enjoyning
the
study
of
the
Scripture
and
the
Tongues
,
instead
of
School-Divinity
and
Barbarism
;
recommending
Aristotle
,
Agricola
,
Melancthon
,
to
their
reading
;
and
the
Doctrine
which
is
in
Spirit
and
in
Truth
to
their
Faith
:
and
razing
the
Popes
Bulls
,
to
make
way
for
the
Kings
Favour
.
He
was
an
eminent
Minister
of
State
,
and
chief
Governour
of
the
Church
;
proceeding
in
Convocation
very
discreetly
,
modelling
the
Church-Laws
very
prudently
and
moderately
:
looking
into
Monastical
Abuses
very
narrowly
and
industriously
;
mawling
Religious
Houses
,
violently
pulling
down
those
Nests
,
that
the
Rooks
might
not
return
:
His
Master
had
disobliged
the
Pope
,
and
he
weakeneth
him
:
It
was
not
safe
to
disown
his
Supremacy
,
and
entertain
thousands
of
his
Creatures
.
If
a
Kingdom
be
divided
against
it self
,
it
cannot
stand
;
and
if
one
part
of
the
English
pay
their
devotion
to
a
supream
Head
at
Rome
,
and
another
to
a
supream
Governour
in
England
,
they
must
both
fall
.
If
the
persons
might
disturb
the
Government
,
it
is
fit
their
Estates
should
secure
it
;
and
if
the
Papists
should
foment
a
War
,
their
Lands
should
maintain
it
:
But
Cromwel
contrives
that
the
Pope
should
confirm
Alienations
in
Wolsey
,
before
he
should
practise
it
for
the
King
.
As
the
King
knew
whom
he
employed
,
when
he
trusted
him
:
so
he
knew
whom
he
trusted
,
when
he
employed
Doctor
Lee
(
an
able
servant
to
an
abler
Master
)
He
first
decoyed
Religious
Men
out
of
their
Covents
by
the
allurement
of
Liberty
,
and
then
forced
them
out
by
Power
and
Authority
.
As
the
Abbeys
improved
his
Estate
,
so
his
Master
advanced
his
Honour
:
he
had
one
Privy
Seal
always
to
act
by
,
and
was
Keeper
of
another
:
He
had
no
sooner
attained
an
Earldom
for
himself
,
but
foreseeing
the
alteration
of
Affairs
,
he
secured
a
Barony
for
his
Son
,
not
forfeitable
by
the
Attainder
of
the
Father
:
Within
five
years
he
was
Master
of
the
Jewel-house
,
Secretary
of
State
,
Baron
,
Vicar-General
,
Master
of
the
Rolls
,
Knight
of
the
Garter
,
Keeper
of
the
Privy-Seal
,
Lord
High
Chamberlain
,
and
Earl
of
Essex
:
within
five
months
he
quitted
place
,
and
in
five
minutes
lost
all
.
He
must
needs
be
envied
,
whose
Birth
was
so
much
beneath
all
others
,
and
his
Preferment
above
them
:
especially
when
the
King
in
preferring
him
injured
others
;
as
,
the
Citizens
,
in
managing
the
Jewels
;
the
Courtiers
,
in
undertaking
State-affairs
;
the
Lawyers
,
in

and

and
Earldom
of
Essex
.
But
he
cares
not
whom
he
displeaseth
,
if
he
can
oblige
his
Master
;
whose
power
he
advanceth
in
the
Parliament
and
Synod
,
as
he
improveth
his
Revenue
in
the
Office
of
first-Fruits
,
and
the
Court
of
Augmentation
.
His
Greatness
was
allayed
with
his
Goodness
;
and
the
Envy
of
the
One
,
mitigated
by
the
Liberality
of
the
Other
:
He
had
not
more
Suiters
at
his
door
then
Alms
,
(
two
hundred
at
a
time
:
)
Sir
Thomas
was
a
Name
of
Awe
and
Reverence
to
the
Rich
,
and
blessed
by
the
Poor
:
That
Name
[
](A48796-e11520-b)d

London
.
levelled
the
proudest
Citizens
House
for
his
conveniency
,
and
bowed
the
poorest
mans
Knee
to
his
Honour
.
He
could
at
pleasure
work
upon
the
Lords
by
the
Commons
,
and
on
the
Commons
by
the
Lords
;
as
Cardinal
Wolsey
perswaded
the
Commons
to
four
shillings
in
the
pound
upon
the
Lords
president
;
and
the
Lords
to
as
much
upon
the
Commons
:
and
he
kept
up
the
Cardinals
way
of
Anticipation
,
that
the
people
should
be
always
one
Subsidy
before-hand
:
He
set
up
the
old
Taxation
of
Knighthood
at
Queen
Anne's
Coronation
,
and
levied
it
.
He
confirms
the
Kings
Supremacy
by
a
Law
,
and
establisheth
his
Daughter
Elizabeth's
Succession
by
an
Oath
,
first
taken
by
the
Parliament
,
and
then
by
the
Kingdom
;
for
whose
support
he
contrives
the
lesser
Monasteries
should
be
first
escheated
,
and
then
the
greater
.
He
was
so
honest
,
that
he
acquits
Queen
Anne
in
his
Letter
to
the
Queen
;
yet
so
much
a
Statesman
,
that
he
condemn'd
her
upon
the
Bench.
But
to
secure
the
Interest
of
England
,
he
improved
its
Religion
;
that
as
some
few
late
Acts
had
disobliged
the
Pope
,
a
new
frame
of
Christianity
might
exclude
him
:
The
differences
between
Us
and
Rome
,
were
to
be
widened
,
lest
they
should
close
;
and
he
judged
it
prudence
to
engage
the
conscience
and
the
estate
in
one
bottom
,
that
he
might
hold
the
One
out
of
the
tenderness
of
the
Other
.
The
Kings
Supremacy
cut
off
the
Papists
,
and
the
Six
Articles
the
Protestants
:
Reformation
must
be
managed
leasurely
,
and
alteration
of
Religion
by
just
degrees
;
Instruction
preceding
execution
,
and
the
peoples
capacity
growing
up
with
their
Governours
Regulation
.
The
times
are
troublesome
,
but
Cromwel
calm
and
quiet
,
and
watchful
over
Occurrences
;
Insurrection
giving
him
an
advantage
of
a
new
Settlement
.
He
takes
down
the
Occasions
and
Ornaments
of
Idolatry
,
Images
,
Shrines
,
Pilgrimages
,
&c.
and
then
the
Thing
it self
:
Take
off
the
paint
of
Rome
,
and
you
undo
her
:
As
the
Laws
and
Injunctions
,
so
the
Alliance
of
England
must
secure
its
Interest
:
A
Protestant
Queen
must
be
married
to
the
Reformed
King
;
the
Duke
of
Cleve's
Sister
must
woo
the
King
,
that
Essex
might
have
that
whispered
in
the
Kings
Bosom
abed
,
where
he
was
best
disposed
,
which
he
insinuated
into
his
Ear
at
the
Council-Table
where
he
was
worst
:
But
the
King
was
not
so
well
pleased
with
her
Beauty
,
as
Cromwel
was
with
her
Religion
;
which
Stephen
Gardiner
(
who
hated
her
for
her
Religion
,
and
Cromwel
for
his
Greatness
)
observing
,
shewed
the
Kings
loose
Affections
,
at
once
how
to
be
rid
of
his
Match
,
and
,
which
he
was
as
weary
of
,
his
Match-Maker
.
The
Queen
is
divorced
(
being
never
known
by
Henry
,
who
disliked
her
at
first
view
,
and
kept
her
rather
in
Policy
,
to
oblige
the
German
Princes
,
then
of
pleasure
to
fill
his
own
Bed
.
)
Cromwel
is
arrested
for
presuming
to
act
in
some
matters
of
State
,
without
the
Kings
privity
or
Commission
,
and
attainted
by
a
procedure
he
had
invented
;
dying
as
cunningly
as
he
had
lived
,
for
some

a
As
when
one
said
he
was
accused
for
disloyalty
to
the
King
,
he
said
,
He
would
stab
him
with
his
dagger
if
he
were
.
ambiguous
words
which
Power
interpreted
to
his
Ruine
.
His
last
words
were
so
wary
,
that
they
might
become
Bellarmine
and
Luther
at
once
;
that
the
Protestants
call
them
his
Confession
of
Faith
,
and
the
Papists
his
old
Religion
:
for
confessing
his
Offences
against
God
and
the
King
,
in
his
many
Employments
,
he
said
he
died
in
the
Catholique
Faith
:
Some
will
say
the
Protestants
think
no
great
gain
to
have
him
,
and
the
Papists
no
loss
to
part
with
him
;
yet
we
must
needs
confess
that
he
was
a
Wise
Man
,
because
he
always
consulted
the
Learned
in
the
Laws
a
out
all
his
proceedings
:
He
was
a
Good
man
,
witness
Frescobald
,
whose
mean
Person
he
took
notice
of
,
whose
small
Kindeness
he
acknowledged
,
whose
Services
he
condescended
to
,
whose
Wants
he
relieved
,
and
whose
Debts
he
recovered
:
He
was
a
Noble
man
,
because
he
refused
another
mans
Coat
of
Arms
who
was
of
his
Name
,
saying
,
What
shall
I
do
with
it
?
for
he
may
pull
it
off
my
back
at
pleasure
.
In
a
word
,
He
was
so
Mean
before
he
rise
,
so
Worthy
afterwards
,
that
no
Times
had
Raised
but
those
more
troublesome
,
none
Ruined
him
but
those
most
loose
of
Henry
the
VIII
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Thomas
Audley
.
SIr
Thomas
Audley's
Birth
was
Generous
,
his
Education
more
:
Essex
bred
him
to
that
Honour
which
his
Ancestors
lost
:
His
Soul
ennobled
his
Body
,
and
his
Body
graced
his
Soul
:
The
one
quick
,
solid
,
apprehensive
and
judicious
;
the
other
tall
and
majestick
:
King
Henry
loved
a
Man
;
and
here
was
one
whose
Austerity
was
allayed
with
Debonairness
,
whose
Gravity
was
sweetened
with
Pleasantness
;
whose
Knowledge
was
as
large
as
his
Authority
,
whose
Wit
was
equal
with
his
Wisdom
;
whose
Memory
was
strong
,
and
Judgment
solid
.
His
fair
Estate
brought
him
to
the
Temple
;
his
proficiency
in
the
Law
,
to
the
Court
:
His
reading
upon
the
Statute
of
Priviledges
commended
him
to
the
Kings
Service
,
his
speaking
for
the
Prerogative
in
Parliament
brought
him
to
the
Kings
Favour
.
Although
the
Liberties
of
the
People
can
never
be
secured
without
the
Prerogative
of
the
Soveraign
(
who
cannot
do
the
good
they
would
,
if
he
wants
a
power
to
do
the
evil
they
fear
;
)
yet
his
first
Preferment
was
to
withdraw
him
from
Popularity
,
and
the
second
onely
to
confirm
him
to
Soveraignty
.
Noble
Service
is
the
way
to
a
Royal
One
:
His
Stewardship
to
the
Dutchy
of
Suffolk
,
raised
him
to
the
Attorneyship
of
that
of
Lancaster
.
But
in
troublesome
and
designing
times
a
popular
Orator
is
a
good
Courtier
;
and
leading
Parts
in
Parliament
or
Convocation
are
great
Merits
:
In
the
black
Parliament
he
was
a
Member
by
his
own
Interest
,
and
a
Speaker
by
his
Majesties
Choice
:
Sir
Tho.
More
was
to
serve
the
Crown
in
the
Lords
House
,
and
Sir
Tho.
Audley
was
to
succeed
him
in
the
House
of
Commons
.
When
Abbey-Lands
were
bestowed
on
the
King
in
grofs
,
and
returned
by
him
to
the
leading
Lords
and
Commons
in
the
Retayl
,
most
of
that
Parliament
looked
for
shares
;
Sir
Thomas
for
the
first
cut
,
to
secure
himself
with
the
King
:
He
was
always
in
favour
with
the
Queens
,
who
had
no
less
Interest
in
the
Kings
Heart
,
then
the
Kingdom
had
in
his
Head
.
The.
Age
was
uncertain
,
Interest
nor
so
;
Sir
Thomas
was
fixed
on
the
One
,
above
the
alterations
of
the
Other
:
understanding
what
was
most
convenient
at
a
time
when
there
was
nothing
lawful
.
He
was
well
seen
in
the
flexures
and
windings
of
Affairs
,
at
the
depth
whereof
other
Heads
not
so
steady
turned
giddy
:
He
had
the
Arts
of
a
Statesman
,
and
the
closeness
of
a
Politicion
:
Reserved
he
was
,
but
no
Dissembler
:
For
if
a
man
have
that
penetration
of
judgment
,
as
he
can
discern
what
things
are
to
be
laid
open
,
and
what
to
be
kept
secret
,
and
what
to
be
shewed
with
half
sights
,
and
to
whom
and
when
,
(
which
indeed
are
Arts
of
States
and
Arts
of
Life
)
to
him
an
Habit
of
Dissimulation
is
a
hinderance
and
a
poorness
.
He
(
as
an
able
man
)
was
always
frank
and
open
,
but
wary
;
knowing
how
to
stop
and
turn
within
the
compass
of
Equity
and
Honesty
.
He
understood
business
well
,
and
men
better
;
and
knew
King
Henry's
Temper
better
then
Himself
,
whom
he
surprized
always
to
his
own
bent
,
never
moving
any
of
his
suits
to
him
,
but
when
in
haste
,
and
most
commonly
amusing
him
with
other
matter
until
he
passed
his
Request
.
His
Actions
were
managed
for
applause
as
well
as
service
:
for
when
made
Sergeant
,
he
was
the
first
of
eleven
;
his
Entertaining-Day
was
the
last
of
six
:
The
King
,
who
paid
for
his
Dinner
,
was
invited
to
it
.
He
watched
the
Circumstances
of
his
Actions
,
that
they
might
be
Taking
,
as
well
as
their
Issue
,
that
they
might
be
Useful
;
and
contrived
that
the
least
of
his
publick
Actions
should
come
off
with
Reputation
.
He
followed
the
most
passable
rather
then
the
most
able
men
living
,
in
a
time
when
active
men
were
more
useful
then
the
vertuous
.
Sir
Thomas
at
once
gratified
the
present
Humour
of
the
King
,
and
the
constant
Temper
of
the
People
,
in
six
Bills
against
the
Clergy
:
1.
Against
the
Extortions
of
their
Courts
.
2.
The
Exaction
of
their
Corps
and
Morturies
.
3.
Their
worldly
Occupations
,
as
Grazing
,
Tanning
,
&c.
4
Merchandize
.
5.
Their
Non-Residencies
.
6.
The
Pluralities
of
the
Ignorant
,
and
the
mean
Salaries
of
the
Learned
.
When
in
some
Debates
between
the
Lords
and
Commons
,
Custome
was
urged
;
Sir
Thomas
replied
,
The
usage
hath
ever
been
for
Thieves
to
rob
at
Shooters
Hill
,
is
it
therefore
lawful
?
He
brought
the
Clergy
within
a
Praemunire
,
to
awe
them
;
and
afterwards
in
their
pardon
,
he
and
other
Members
included
their
own
;
which
the
knowing
King
would
not
pass
,
when
it
was
demanded
as
of
Right
;
yet
afterwards
granted
it
of
his
own
accord
,
when
it
was
received
as
of
Grace
.
When
Sir
Thomas
More
could
not
act
with
the
times
,
Sir
Thomas
Audley
could
;
the
One
being
weary
of
the
Seal
,
the
other
takes
it
;
being
made
Lord
Keeper
in
Sir
Thomas
his
life-time
,
and
Lord
Chancellour
after
his
death
:
owning
no
Opinion
against
the
Government
of
England
,
nor
any
Design
against
its
Interest
.
The
King
might
well
trust
him
with
his
Conscience
,
when
he
trusted
the
King
with
his
,
owning
no
Doctrine
but
what
was
established
,
ever
judging
the
Church
and
State
wiser
then
himself
.
He
was
forced
to
take
Q.
Anne
,
but
he
would
not
condemn
her
;
rather
escaping
then
refusing
unwelcome
Employments
,
wherein
he
must
either
displease
his
Master
or
himself
.
He
was
tender
,
but
not
wilful
;
waving
such
services
dexterously
,
wherein
he
must
oppose
his
Master
dangerously
.
Those
Insurrections
which
others
Rigor
had
raised
,
his
Moderation
allayed
;
breaking
the
Factions
with
Indulgence
,
which
might
be
strengthened
with
Opposition
:
Cromwel
pulled
down
Popery
with
his
Power
,
Audley
kept
it
down
with
his
Policy
,
enjoyning
the
Preachers
to
detect
the
follies
of
that
way
,
which
is
reckoned
the
wisdom
of
this
World
,
He
had
a
moderate
way
to
secure
the
Priviledges
of
Parliament
,
by
freedom
from
Arrests
;
and
the
good
will
of
the
Citizens
,
by
an
Order
about
debts
.
By
these
courses
he
died
as
much
in
the
Kings
Favour
as
he
lived
:
Patience
can
weather
out
the
most
turbulent
Age
,
and
a
solid
Judgement
the
most
intricate
times
:
The

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Thomas
Wiat.
SIr
Thomas
Wiat
was
born
at
Allington-castle
in
the
County
of
Kent
,
which
afterwards
he
repaired
with
beautiful
Buildings
.
He
fell
out
of
his
Master
King
Henry
the
eighth
his
favour
,
about
the
business
of
Queen
Anna
Bullen
,
till
his
industry
,
care
,
discretion
and
innocence
freed
him
.
Very
ingenious
he
was
;
or
,
as
his
Anagram
tells
us
,
he
was

Cambden
saith
he
was

Eques

splendide

.
Holy
he
was
and
heavenly
minded
,
and
that
appears
by
his
translation
of
David's
Psalms
into
English
Metre
;
and
Leland
gives
him
this
great
Commendation
:

Let
Florence

justly
boast
,
And
Royal
Rome
her
Petrarchs
numbred
feet
,
In
English
Wiat
both
of
them
doth
coast
,
In
whom
all
graceful
Eloquence
doth
meet
.
This
Knight
being
sent
Ambassador
by
King
Henry
the
eighth
,
to
Charles
the
fifth
Emperour
,
then
residing
in
Spain
,
before
he
took
Shipping
,
died
of
the
Pestilence
in
the
West-Country
,
Anno
1541.
Queen
Anne's
favour
towards
him
,
raised
this
man
;
and
his
faithfulness
to
her
,
ruined
him
:
So
fickle
is
that
mans
station
that
depends
onely
on
humour
,
or
holds
of
love
and
hatred
!
Let
my
friend
(
saith
Malvezzi
)
bring
me
in
,
but
let
my
merit
and
service
keep
me
there
.
Four
things
a
man
went
to
Dine
with
Sir
Thoms
Wiat
for
:
1.
For
his
Generous
Entertainment
2.
For
his
free
and
knowing
discourse
of
Spain
and
Germany
;
an
insight
in
whose
interest
was
his
Master-piece
,
studied
by
him
as
well
for
the
exigen
〈…〉
of
that
present
juncture
,
as
for
his
own
satisfaction
.
3.
For
his
quickness
in
observing
,
his
civility
in
entertaining
,
his
dexterity
in
employing
,
and
his
readiness
in
encouraging
every
mans
peculiar
party
and
inclinations
.
4.
For
the
notice
and
favour
the
King
had
for
him
.
So
ready
was
he
to
befriend
worthy
men
,
and
so
ready
was
the
King
to
entertain
his
friend
,
that
when
a
man
was
newly
preferred
,
they
said
,
He
had
been
in
Sir
Thomas
Wiat
'
s
Closet
.
Happy
is
the
Prince
that
hath
a
faithful
Favourite
,
to
look
him
out
serviceable
men
!
and
happy
those
useful
persons
,
that
have
a
familiar
and
hhonest
Favourite
,
by
whom
they
may
have
access
to
the
Prince
!
a
Favourite
that
serves
not
his
Country
so
much
by
employing
and
pleasing
its
active
members
,
as
he
secures
his
King
,
who
hath
●o
less
need
of
Counsel
in
reference
to
men
,
then
things
.
His
Wit
pleased
the
King
,
and
his
Wisdome
served
him
:
He
could
not
be
without
his
Advice
at
the
Council-table
,
nor
without
his
Jests
in
his
Presence-chamber
:
where
yet
he
observed
his
decorum
to
exactly
,
that
his
Majesty
could
by
no
means
win
him
one
night
to
dancing
;
this
being
his
grave
resolution
,
That
he
who
thought
himself
a
wise
man
in
the
day-time
,
would
not
be
a
fool
at
night
:
otherwise
one
carryed
himself
more
handsomely
,
none
conversed
more
ingeniously
and
freely
,
none
discoursed
more
facetiously
or
solidly
;
in
a
word
,
it
was
his
peculiar
happiness
,
that
his
deportment
was
neither
too
severe
for
King
Henry
the
eighth's
time
,
nor
too
loose
for
Henry
the
seventh's
,
neither
all
honey
nor
all
gall
,
but
a
sweet
mixture
and
temperament
of
affability
and
gravity
,
carrying
an
equal
measure
of
Sir
Thomas
More
's
ingenuity
in
his
head
,
and
Sir
Thomas
Cromwel's
wisdome
in
his
heart
;
equally
fashioned
for
discourse
and
business
:
in
the
●●st
whereof
,
he
was
active
,
but
not
troublesome
;
〈◊〉
the
first
,
merry
,
but
innocent
.
A
Jest

it
hit
right
,

do
more

so
ber
Counsels
.
Archee
made
King
James
sensible
of
the
danger
the
Prince
was
in
,
in
Spain
,
by
telling
him
that
he
came
to
change
Caps
with
him
:
Why
said
the
King
.
Because
thou
hast
sent
the
Prince
in
:
Spain
,
from
whence
he
is
never
like
to
return
.
B
〈…〉
(
said
the
King
)
what
wilt
thou
say
when
thou
see
him
come
back
again
?
Marry

saith
he
)
I
will
ta

the

I
now

sending
him
thither
,
and
put
it
on
the
King
of
Spain
for
letting
him
return
.

Sir
Thomas
Wiat's
began
that
Reformation
,

King
Henry
was
at
a
loss
concening
the
Divorce
,
which
he
no
less
passionately
dered
,
then
the
Pope
warily
delayed
:
Lord
,
saith
he
that
a
man
cannot
repent
him
of
his
sin
but
by

Sir
Thomus

Doctor
Gran

and
the
Universities
of
Europe
made

.
His
Majesty
was
another
time
displeased
with
Wolsey
,
and
Sir
Thomas

with
a
story
of
the
C

baiting
of
the
Butchers

,
which
contained
〈◊〉

The
Pope
was
incensed
,
Christian
Princes

〈…〉
enraged

and
the
numerous
Clergy
discontented
and
King

afraid

the

,

What
Lewis
the
eleventh
said
of
one
Kingdome
,
i.
e.
France
,
may
be
true
of
all
,
That
they
want
one
thing
,
i.
e.
Truth
.
Few
Kings
have
such
discreet
Courtiers
as
Cardinal
Wolsey
,
to
look
into
things
deeply
;
fewer
so
faithful
Servants
as
Sir
Thomas
Wiat
,
to
report
things
as
they
see
them
,
honestly
.
His
Jests
were
always
confined
to
these
Rules
:
1.
He
never
played
upon
a
mans
unhappiness
or
deformity
;
it
being
inhumane
.
2.
Not
on
Superiours
:
for
that
is
sawcie
and
undutiful
.
3.
Nor
on
serious
or
holy
matters
:
for
that
's
irreligious
.
4.
He
had
much
Salt
,
but
no
Gall
;
often
jesting
,
but
never
jearing
.
5.
He
observed
times
,
persons
and
circumstances
;
knowing
when
to
speak
,
and
knowing
too
when
to
hold
his
peace
.
6.
His
apt
and
handsome
Reparties
were
rather
natural
then
affected
;
subtle
and
acute
,
prompt
and
easie
,
yet
not
careless
;
never
rendring
himself
contemptible
to
please
others
.
7.
Not
an
insipid
changing
of
words
was
his
gift
,
but
a
smart
retort
of
matters
,
which
every
body
was
better
pleased
with
than
himself
.
8.
He
always
told
a
story
well
;
and
was
as
good
at
a
neat
continued
discourse
,
as
at
a
quick
sentence
;
contriving
it
in
an
handsome
method
,
cloathing
it
with
suitable
expressions
,
without
any
Parenthesis
or
impertinencies
,
and
representing
persons
and
actions
so
to
the
life
,
that
you
would
think
you
saw
what
you
buchear
:
A
notable
way
,
that
argued
the
man
of
a
ready
apprehension
,
an
ingenious
sins
fancy
,
a
tenacious
memory
,
a
graceful
Elocution
,
a
〈…〉
exact
judgment
and
discretion
,
and
perfect
acquaintance
with
things
and
circumstances
.
His
phrasi
was
clean
and
clear
,
the
picture
of
his
thoughts
and
language
,
(
even
in
an
argument
)
not
harsh
or
severe
,
but
gentle
and
obliging
;
never
contradicting
but
with
an
Vnder
favour
Sir
;
always
subjoyning
to
his
adversaries
discourse
,
what
the
Dutch
do
the
all
Ambassadors
Proposals
,
It
may
be
so
.

He
followed
the
Law
twenty
eight
years
before
he
was

Judge
;
in
which
Office
he
continued
twenty
eight
years
,
and
was
twenty
eight
years
of
Age
before

himself
to
this
study
:
when
〈…〉
it
necessarily
follows
,
that
he
was
four-score
and
four
when
he
died
.
He
was
a
great
Benefactor

St.
Augustines
in

;
the
Prior
whereof
William

highly
commendeth

He
died
in
1526.
and
lies
buried
in
Christ-church
in
Canterbury
,
having
had
a
fair
habitation
in
this
City
,
and
another
in
Herne
in
this
County
,
where
his
Motto
still
remaineth
in

Window

Misericordias

Nile's
original
is
hidden
,
but
his
stream
is
famous
.
This
Judge's
Ancestors
were
not
so
obscure
,
as
he
was
illustrious
.
His
Device
upon
his
Sergeants
Ring
was
,
Suae
quisque
fortuna
faber
;
and
his
was
always
to
this
purpose
,
That
no
man
thrived
but
he
that
lived
as
if
he
were
the
first
man
in
the
world
,
and
his
father
were
not
born
before
him
.
Forty
years
he
said
he
lived
by
his
industry
;
Twenty
by
his
reputation
;
and
Ten
by
favour
.
King
Henry
the
seventh
knew
not
how
well
this
Gentleman
could
serve
him
,
until
he
saw
how
effectually
he
did
oppose
him
about
the
Tenth
Peny
raised
for
the
War
in
Britain
,
which
raised
another
in
York
,
where
though
the
Rabble
(
that
murthered
Henry
Earl
of
Northumberland
,
who
was
to
levy
the
Tax
)
had
not
his
Countenance
for
their
Practice
,
yet
had
they
his
Principle
for
their
Rule
,
which
was
this
,
Before
we
pay
any
thing
,
let
us
see
whether
we
have
any
thing
we
can
call
our
own
to
pay
.
So
able
,
though
reserved
a
Patriot
,
thought
the
wise
King
,
would
be
an
useful
Courtier
,
and
he
that
could
do
so
well
at
the
Bar
,
might
do
more
at
the
Bench.
Cardinal
Morton
was
against
his
advancement
,
as
an
encouragement
to
the
Factious
:
(
whose
Hydra-heads
grow
the
faster
by
being
taken
off
by
Preferment
,
and
not
by
an
Ax
)
the
King
was
for
it
,
as
the
most
probable
way
of
weakening
of
them
,
as
who
when
the
most
sober
and
wise
part
of
them
draweth
off
,
are
but
a
rude
multitude
,
and
a
rope
of
sand
:
when
a
Commoner
,
none
so
stiff
for
the
subjects
priviledge
;
when
a
Judge
,
none
so
firm
to
the
Princes
Prerogative
:
two
things
however
,
(
they
fatally
clashed
of
late
)
that
are
solid
felicities
together
,
and
but
empty
notions
asunder
:
for
what
is
Prerogative
but
a
great
Name
,
when
not
exercised
over
a
free
people
?
and
what
is
Priviledge
but
a
fond
imagination
,
when
not
secured
under
a
powerful
King
,
that
may
keep
us
from
being
slaves
one
to
another
by
Anarchy
,
while
we
strive
to
be
free
from
his
Tyranny
?
That
People
is
beyond
president
free
,
and
beyond
comparison
happy
,
who
restrain
not
their
Soveraigns
power
to
do
them
harm
so
far
,
as
that
he
hath
none
left
him
to
do
them
good
.
Careful
he
was
of
the
Law
;
for
he
was
a
Judge
:
and
as
careful
of
his
Soveraigns
Right
;
for
he
was
a
Subject
.
No
ominous
clashing
between
Courts
in
his
time
;
nor
setting
the
Kings
Conscience
in
Chancery
against
his
Will
in
the
Kings
Bench.
A
man
tells
Aristides
,
to
make
him
party
in
his
cause
,
that
his
Adversary
had
abused
him
:
I
sit
not
here
(
saith
that
Impartial
Judge
)
to
right
you
,
but
my self
.
When
a
notorious
enemy
of
Judge
Fineux
had
a
cause
depending
before
him
,
It
might
have
gone
against
you
,
my
friend
,
(
said
he
)
had
you
been
my
Enemy
.
Ten
things
,
which
are
indeed
ten
of
the
most
remarkable
particulars
of
his
life
,
raised
him
.
1.
An
indefatigable
industry
,
1.
In
his
reading
,
leaving
behinde
him
23
Folio's
of
Notes
.
2.
In
his
practice
,
bequeathing
3502
Cases
he
managed
himself
to
his
Executor
.
2.
A
freedome
of
converse
,
as
about
his
business
,
none
more
close
;
so
in
company
,
none
more
open
;
having
so
compleat
a
command
of
himself
,
that
he
knew
to
a
minute
when
to
indulge
,
and
to
a
minute
too
when
to
restrain
himself
.
A
gay
and
cheerful
humour
,
a
sprightful
conversation
,
and
cleanly
manners
,
are
an
exceeding
useful
accomplishment
for
every
one
that
intends
not
to
wind
himself
into
a
solitary
retirement
,
or
be
mewed
in
a
Cloyster
.
3.
A
rich
and
a
well-contrived
marriage
,
that
at
once
brought
him
a
large
Estate
,
and
a
larger
Interest
:
the
same
tie
that
allied
him
to
his
Wives
Family
,
engaged
him
to
many
.
4.
A
great
acquaintance
with
Noble
Families
,
with
whose
dependants
he
got
in
first
,
devoting
an
hour
a
day
for
their
company
;
and
at
last
with
themselves
,
laying
aside
his
vacation-leisure
for
their
service
.
He
was
Steward
of
129
Mannors
at
once
,
and
of
Counsel
to
16
Noble-men
.
5.
His
Hospitality
and
Entertainments
:
None
more
close
then
he
abroad
,
none
more
noble
at
home
;
where
many
were
tied
to
his
Table
,
more
obliged
by
his
company
and
discourse
.
6.
His
care
and
integrity
in
managing
,
his
Repute
in
promoting
,
his
Reason
and
Eloquence
in
pleading
,
and
his
Success
in
carrying
his
causes
.
7.
His
eminence
and
activity
in
the
two
profitable
Parliaments
of
Henry
the
seventh
,
where
he
had
the
hearts
and
purses
of
the
people
at
his
command
,
and
the
eye
of
his
Soveraign
upon
his
person
.
It
was
thought
a
reward
adequate
to
the
greatest
merit
and
adventure
in
the
Grecian
Wars
,
to
have
leave
to
play
the
Prizes
at
Olympus
before
Kings
.
It
was
judged
the
most
ambition
could
be
aimed
at
in
King
Henry
the
seventh's
time
,
to
shew
a
mans
parts
before
his
judicious
and
discerning
Majesty
;
then
whom
none
understood
Worth
better
,
none
valued
it
higher
.
8.
His
Opposition
to
Empson
and
Dudley's
too
severe
Prosecution
of
Poenal
Laws
,
while
Henry
the
seventh
was
living
;
and
his
laying
of
it
before
him
so
faithfully
,
that
he
repented
of
it
when
he
was
a
dying
.
He
is
high
a
while
,
that
serves
a
Princes
private
interest
;
he
is
always
so
,
that
is
careful
of
his
publick
good
.
9.
His
entire
Devotion
to
that
sacred
thing
called
Friendship
,
that
Bliss
on
this
side
Heaven
,
made
up
of
Peace
and
Love
.
None
a
worse
Enemy
,
none
a
better
Friend
.
Choice
he
was
in
commencing
,
but
constant
in
continuing
Friends
:
Many
Acquaintance
,
but
few
Friends
,
was
his
Observation
;
saying
,
He
had
been
undone
by
his
Acquaintance
,
had
he
not
been
raised
by
his
Friends
.
10.
His
care
of
time
.
To
day
I
have
not
reigned
,
said
the
Emperour
when
he
had
done
no
good
:
To
day
I
have
not
lived
,
said
the
Judge
when
he
had
done
nothing
.
So
much
he
prayed
Morning
,
Evening
,
and
at
Noon
,
according
to
the
way
of
those
times
,
as
if
he
never
studied
;
so
much
he
studied
,
as
if
he
never
practised
;
so
great
his
practice
,
as
if
he
never
conversed
;
and
so
free
his
converse
with
others
,
as
if
he
lived
not
at
all
to
himself
:
Time
(
of
which
others
are
so
prodigally
expensive
)
was
the
onely
thing
he
could
be
honestly
covetous
of
:
full
whereof
he
died
,
leaving
this
instruction
to
posterity
,
That
we
should
not
complain
we
have
little
time
,
but
that
we
spend
much
either
in
doing
nothing
,
or
in
doing
evil
,
or
in
doing
nothing
to
the
purpose
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Edward
Fox
,
Bishop
of
Hereford
.
EDward
Fox
born
in
Dursley
in
Gloucestershire
,
was
first
brought
up
in
Eaton
,
then
in
Kings
Colledge
in
Cambridge
,
and
died
Provost
thereof
.
He
was
Almoner
to
King
Henry
the
eighth
,
and
was
the
first
that
brought
Doctor
Cranmer
to
the
knowledge
of
the
King
,
as
he
brought
the
King
to
the
knowledge
of
himself
.
Being
after
wards
Bishop
of
Hereford
,
was
a
great
Instigator
of
the
Politick
and
Prudential
part
of
the
Reformation
,
and
was
not
less
able
,
but
more
active
then
Cranmer
himself
:
yea
,
so
famous
was
he
,
that
Martin
Bucer
dedicated
unto
him
his
Comment
upon
the
Gospel
:
so
painful
,
that
he
wrote
many
Books
,
whereof
that
,
de
Differentia
utriusque
potestatis
,
was
the
chief
:
so
worthy
he
was
,
that
the
King
employed
him
on
several
Embassies
into
France
and
Germany
.
He
died
May
8.
1538.
In
his
first
years
,
none
more
wild
;
in
his
his
last
,
none
more
stayed
.
The
untoward
Youth
makes
the
able
Man
.
He
that
hath
mettle
to
be
extravagant
when
he
cannot
govern
himself
,
hath
a
spirit
to
be
eminent
when
he
can
.
His
friends
devotion
to
the
Church
,
and
relation
to
the
Bishop
of
Winchester
,
made
him
a
Scholar
;
his
own
Inclination
,
a
Politician
:
an
Inclination
that
brake
through
all
the
ignoble
restraints
of
pedantique
studies
and
coertions
,
(
wherewith
many
a
great
Soul
in
England
,
(
enjoying
not
the
freedome
of
forreign
parts
,
but
tied
to
such
employments
,
though
never
so
unsuitable
,
as
their
friends
put
them
to
)
are
debased
and
lost
)
to
an
eminencie
(
more
by
observation
and
travel
,
then
by
reading
and
study
)
that
made
him
the
Wonder
of
the
University
,
and
the
Darling
of
the
Court.
When
he
was
called
to
the
Pulpit
,
or
Chair
,
he
came
off
not
ill
;
so
prudential
were
his
parts
for
Divinity
!
when
advanced
to
any
Office
of
Trust
in
the
University
,
he
came
off
very
well
;
so
incomparable
were
his
parts
for
Government
!
His
Policy
was
observed
equally
in
the
subject
,
and
in
the
contrivance
of
his
Sermons
and
discourse
;
where
though
all
knew
he
read
but
little
,
yet
all
saw
that
(
by
a
Scheme
and
method
his
strong
head
had
drawn
up
of
all
Books
and
Discourses
)
he
commanded
all
Learning
:
his
Explications
of
the
Text
were
so
genuine
,
so
exact
,
as
if
he
had
spent
his
time
in
nothing
else
but
Criticks
and
Commentators
.
His
Divisions
so
Analytical
,
as
if
he
had
been
nothing
but
Logick
:
His
Enlargements
so
copious
and
genuine
,
as
if
he
had
seen
nothing
but
Fathers
and
Schoolmen
.
The
curious
and
pertinent
mixture
of
Moral
Sentences
,
so
various
,
as
if
he
had
been
but
a
Humanist
:
the
drift
and
designe
of
all
,
so
close
,
that
it
argued
him
but
(
what
indeed
he
was
)
a
pure
Pate-Politician
.
His
Parts
commended
him
to
Cardinal
Wolsey
as
his
support
:
the
Cardinal
brings
him
to
his
Master
as
his
second
,
and
he
thrusts
out
Wolsey
as
his
Rival
;
but
yet
pretended
to
advance
that
ambitious
Man
more
highly
,
that
he
might
fall
more
irrecoverably
.
He
sets
him
upon
his
designes
of
being
Pope
in
Rome
,
and
those
make
him
none
in
England
.
He
caught
the
Cardinal
by
his
submission
,
as
he
would
have
done
Sir
Thomas
More
by
his
Interrogations
;
at
which
he
was
so
good
,
that
he
would
run
up
any
man
either
to
a
Confession
or
a
Praemunire
.
Fox
was
his
name
,
and
Cunning
his
nature
.
He
said
,
His
Fathers
money
helped
him
to
his
Parsonage
,
meaning
his
small
Preferments
;
and
his
Mothers
wit
to
his
Bishoprick
,
meaning
his
greater
.
Discoursing
one
day
when
Ambassador
,
of
terms
of
Peace
,
he
said
,
Honourable
ones
last
long
,
but
the
dishonourable
no
longer
then
till
Kings
have
power
to
break
them
:
the
surest
way
therefore
,
said
he
,
to
Peace
,
is
a
constant
preparedness
for
War
.
Two
things
he
would
say
must
support
a
Government
;
Gold
and
Iron
:
Gold
,
to
reward
its
Friends
;
and
Iron
,
to
keep
under
its
Enemies
.
Themistocles
after
a
Battel
fought
with
the
Persians
,
espying
a
Prize
lying
on
the
ground
,
Take
up
these
things
,
(
saith
he
to
his
Companion
)
for
thou
art
not
Themistocles
.
Take
the
Emperours
Money
,
said
Fox
to
his
Followers
,
(
that
were
afraid
to
accept
what
he
had
refused
)
for
you
are
not
all
the
King
of
England'
s
Ambassadors
.
Often
was
this
saying
in
our
Bishops
mouth
,
before
ever
it
was
in
Philip
the
second
's
,
Time
and
I
will
challenge
any
two
in
the
world
.
Portugal
being
revolted
,
the
Conde
d'
Olivares
came
smiling
to
King
Philip
the
fourth
,
saying
,
Sir
,
I
pray
give
me
las
Albricius
to
hansel
the
good
news
:
for
now
you
are
more
absolute
King
of
Portugal
then
ever
:
for
the
people
have
forfeited
all
their
priviledges
by
the
Rebellion
,
and
the
Nobility
their
Estates
;
and
now
you
may
confirm
your
old
Friends
with
their
money
,
and
make
you
new
ones
with
their
estates
.
When
the
Clergy
began
to
ruffle
with
the
King
,
I
tell
you
News
,
said
this
Bishop
,
we
are
all
run
into
a
Praemunire
:
you
shall
have
Money
enough
to
make
your
own
Courtiers
,
and
Places
enough
to
advance
your
own
Clergie
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Anthony
St.
Lieger
.
WE
may
say
of
him
,
he
was
born
in
Kent
,
and
bred
in
Christendome
:
for
when
twelve
years
of
Age
,
he
was
sent
for
his
Grammar-Learning
with
his
Tutor
into
France
,
for
his
Carriage
into
Italy
,
for
his
Philosophy
to
Cambridge
,
for
his
Law
to
Grays-Inne
;
and
for
that
which
compleated
all
,
the
government
of
himself
,
to
Court
;
where
his
Debonnairness
and
Freedome
took
with
the
King
,
as
his
Solidity
and
Wisdome
with
the
Cardinal
.
His
Master-piece
was
his
Agency
between
King
Henry
the
eighth
and
Queen
Anne
,
during
the
agitation
of
that
great
business
of
the
Divorce
between
the
said
King
and
his
Queen
Katherine
.
His
Policy
was
seen
in
catching
the
Cardinal
in
that
fatal
word
,
The
King
may
ruine
me
if
be
please
!
but
that
ruined
him
.
His
service
was
to
be
Cromwel's
Instrument
in
demolishing
Abbeys
,
as
he
was
the
Kings
.
Caesar
was
the
first
that
came
to
undo
the
Commonwealth
,
sober
;
Sir
Anthony
St.
Lieger
was
the
first
that
saved
this
Kingdome
drunk
:
for
in
being
abroad
one
night
very
late
,
and
much
distempered
,
he
must
needs
fancy
an
extraordinary
light
in
the
Cardinal's
Closet
;
with
which
Fancy
he
ran
to
the
King
,
and
although
much
in
drink
,
prevailed
with
him
so
far
,
that
he
sends
to
the
Cardinal
,
and
there
findes
that
Juncto
that
threatned
his
Kingdome
.
He
was
the
first
Vice-Roy
,
because
Henry
the
eighth
was
the
first
King
of
Ireland
.
King
Henry's
affection
would
promote
him
any
where
,
but
his
own
resolution
and
spirit
commended
him
to
Ireland
.
He
was
a
man
whom
all
Ireland
could
not
rule
;
therefore
(
as
the
Jest
goes
)
he
should
rule
all
England
.
Three
times
had
the
Irish
Rebels
made
their
soremn
submission
to
other
Deputies
:
the
fourth
time
now
they
make
it
to
him
,
throwing
down
their
Girdles
,
Skins
and
Caps
.
So
great
a
man
was
the
Lieutenant
,
so
great
his
Master
!
No
sooner
was
be
possessed
of
the
Government
,
but
he
thought
of
Laws
,
those
Ligaments
of
it
:
The
most
rational
and
equitable
Laws
were
those
of
England
,
but
too
rational
to
be
imposed
on
the
Brutish
Irish
:
therefore
our
Knight
considering
(
as
he
saith
in
the
Preface
of
his
Constitution
)
that
they
(
poor
souls
)
could
not
relish
those
exact
Laws
,
to
live
or
be
ruled
by
them
,
immediately
enacted
such
as
agreed
with
their
capacity
,
rather
then
such
were
dictated
by
his
ability
;
his
Wisdome
(
as
all
mens
must
)
doing
what
was
most
fit
and
convenient
,
rather
then
what
was
most
exact
;
what
they
could
bear
,
more
then
what
he
could
do
:
as
remembring
he
had
to
do
with
Faeces
Romuli
,
rather
then
Respublica
Platonis
;
a
rude
,
rather
then
a
reduced
people
.
What
he
could
,
he
ordained
according
to
the
incomparable
Rule
of
the
English
Laws
;
what
he
could
not
,
he
established
according
to
his
present
judgement
of
the
Irish
capacity
.
He
saw
the
Kingdome
could
never
be
subject
to
his
Masters
power
,
while
the
Church
was
obedient
to
the
Popes
:
therefore
as
he
perswaded
the
Nobility
to
surrender
their
Estates
to
his
Majesty
at
London
,
so
he
compelled
the
Clergy
to
make
over
theirs
at
Dublin
:
There
remains
but
little
of
the
first
in
his
Majesties
hands
,
so
honourable
was
he
in
restoring
it
;
and
as
little
in
his
Successors
,
so
religious
and
just
were
they
in
resigning
it
to
the
same
use
for
substance
to
which
it
was
at
first
designed
.
But
in
vain
it
is
to
reform
Laws
,
unless
we
reform
persons
too
:
therefore
as
he
sent
Orders
to
reduce
the
Irish
Nobility
in
their
several
Countries
,
so
he
sent
for
themselves
(
to
the
respective
Houses
built
for
them
by
his
Majesty
near
Dublin
)
to
be
civilized
in
the
Court
.
Caesar
came
,
saw
,
and
overcame
;
Sir
Anthony
came
,
saw
,
and
setled
:
A
man
had
thought
there
had
not
been
so
much
corruption
in
the
Romish
Church
,
as
to
admit
Children
to
Church-Livings
,
(
for
which
Men
are
hardly
sufficient
!
)
but
that
Sir
Anthony
St.
Leiger
was
forced
to
make
this
Law
,
That
no
Children
should
be
admitted
to
Benefices
.
We
had
not
known
this
sin
,
had
not
the
Law
said
,
You
shall
not
invest
any
under
sixteen
years
of
age
in
Benefices
.
The
Clergy
he
found
there
too
many
,
and
the
Nobility
too
few
;
he
lessened
the
number
of
the
one
to
weaken
the
Pope
,
and
improved
the
other
to
strengthen
his
Master
,
of
whom
they
held
not
onely
their
Estates
,
but
their
Baronies
too
,
as
obliged
to
duty
in
point
of
Honour
as
well
as
in
point
of
Interest
.
But
in
vain
doth
he
civilize
the
present
Generation
,
and
neglect
the
future
:
as
therefore
he
provided
Cities
for
the
Parents
,
so
he
erected
Schools
for
the
Children
,
that
the
one
might
forget
their
Barbarism
,
and
the
other
never
know
it
.
Three
things
he
said
would
settle
a
State
:
1.
Good
God-fathers
and
God-mothers
performing
their
Vows
:
2.
Good
Housholders
overlooking
their
Families
:
3.
And
good
School-masters
educating
Youth
;
this
last
,
the
most
useful
,
though
the
most
contemptible
profession
.
An
Athenian
being
asked
what
God
was
,
said
,
He
was
neither
Bow-man
,
nor
Horse-man
,
nor
Pike-man
,
nor
Foot-man
,
but
one
that
knew
how
to
command
[
all
these
.
]
Sir
Anthony
St.
Leiger
was
neither
Souldier
,
nor
Scholar
,
nor
Statesman
,
yet
he
understood
the
way
how
to
dispose
of
all
these
to
his
Countries
service
,
and
his
Masters
honour
;
being
all
of
them
eminently
,
though
none
of
them
pedantickly
and
formally
in
himself
.
The
Athenians
(
as
Anaximander
said
)
had
good
Laws
,
but
used
them
ill
;
our
Deputy
had
bad
Laws
,
but
governed
by
good
.
It
was
thought
by
many
wise
men
,
that
the
preposterous
rigour
and
unreasonable
severity
which
some
men
carried
there
before
him
,
was
not
the
least
incentive
that
kindled
and
blew
up
into
horrid
flames
the
sparks
of
discontent
,
which
wanted
not
pre-disposed
fuel
in
that
place
;
where
despair
being
added
to
their
former
discontents
,
and
the
fears
of
utter
extirpation
to
their
wonted
oppressions
.
It
is
too
easie
to
provoke
a
people
too
prone
to
break
out
to
all
exorbitant
violence
,
both
by
some
principles
of
their
Religion
,
and
their
natural
desires
of
Liberty
;
both
to
exempt
themselves
from
their
present
restraints
,
and
prevent
after-rigours
:
wherefore
he
was
inclined
to
that
charitable
connivence
and
Christian
indulgence
which
often
dissipates
their
strength
whom
rougher
opposition
fortifieth
,
and
puts
the
oppressed
Parties
into
such
Combinations
as
may
most
enable
them
to
get
a
full
revenge
on
those
they
count
their
Persecutors
;
who
are
commonly
assisted
by
that
vulgar
commiseration
which
attends
all
that
are
said
to
suffer
for
Religion
or
Liberty
.
To
conclude
this
:
Four
things
Sir
Anthony
St.
Leiger
was
eminent
for
:
1.
That
there
was
none
more
grave
in
Counse
then
he
,
in
the
morning
:
none
more
free
at
Table
,
at
noon
:
none
more
active
in
the
after-noon
:
none
more
merry
at
night
.
2.
That
his
Orders
were
made
but
slowly
,
so
wary
he
was
;
but
executed
quickly
,
so
resolute
he
was
too
.
3.
That
he
contrived
all
his
Designs
so
well
beforehand
,
that
in
the
course
of
affairs
they
were
done
to
his
hand
;
and
he
was
the
Deputy
that
made
no
noise
.
4.
That
as
the
Souldier
(
finding
his
first
admission
to
Alexander
to
be
difficult
)
danced
about
the
Court
in
an
Antique
fashion
,
until
the
strangeness
of
the
shew
made
the
King
himself
Spectator
,
and
then
throwing
off
his
disguise
,
he
said
,
Sir
,
thus
I
first
arrive
at
the
notice
of
your
Majesty
in
the
fashion
of
a
fool
,
but
can
do
you
service
in
the
place
of
a
wise
man
,
if
you
please
to
employ
me
:
So
this
Gentleman
came
to
Court
a
Swaggerer
,
but
went
off
a
Statesman
.
All
Prudence
is
not
lodged
under
a
demure
look
and
an
austere
carriage
:
There
are
those
that
can
be
merry
and
wise
;
whose
Spirit
is
as
lively
,
as
their
Judgement
solid
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Ralph
Sadler
.
Sir
Ralph
Sadler
was
born
at
Hackney
in
Middlesex
,
where
he
was
Heir
to
a
fair
Inheritance
,
and
servant
to
the
Lord
Cromwel
,
and
by
him
advanced
into
the
service
of
King
Henry
the
VIII
,
who
made
him
chief
Secretary
of
State
.
He
was
one
that
had
much
knowledge
,
therefore
much
imployed
in
all
,
but
especially
in
the
Intrigues
of
the
Scots
affairs
:
In
the
Battel
of
Muscleborow
he
ordered
&
brought
up
our
scattered
Troops
,
inviting
them
to
fight
by
his
own
Example
;
and
for
his
Valour
was
made
[
](A48796-e16100-b)a
a
There
were
two
sorts
of
these
Knights
,
the
first
made
by
way
of
encouragement
,
the
second
by
way
of
Reward
:
Sir
Ralph
was
of
the
second
sort
,
and
the
last
that
survived
of
that
sort
.
Knight-Banneret
.
Queen
Elizabeth
made
him
Chancellour
of
the
Dutchy
.
During
his
last
Embassie
in
Scotland
,
his
house
at
Standon
in
Hertfordshire
was
built
by
his
Steward
in
his
absence
,
far
greater
then
himself
desired
,
so
that
he
never
joyed
therein
;
and
died
soon
after
,
Anno
1587
,
in
the
80
year
of
his
Age.
King
Henry
understood
two
things
:
1.
A
Man
:
2.
A
Dish
of
Meat
;
and
was
seldom
deceived
in
either
:
For
a
Man
,
none
more
compleat
then
Sir
Ralph
,
who
was
at
once
a
most
exquisite
Writer
,
and
a
most
valiant
and
experienced
Souldier
;
qualifications
that
seldom
meet
,
(
so
great
is
the
distance
between
the
Sword
and
the
Pen
,
the
Coat
of
Mail
and
the
Gown
)
yet
divided
this
man
and
his
time
;
his
nights
being
devoted
to
contemplation
,
and
his
days
to
action
.
Little
was
his
Body
,
but
great
his
Soul
;
the
more
vigorous
,
the
more
contracted
.
Quick
and
clear
were
his
thoughts
,
speedy
and
resolute
his
performances
.
It
was
he
that
could
not
endure
the
spending
of
that
time
in
designing
one
action
,
which
might
perform
two
or
that
delay
in
performing
two
,
that
might
have
designed
twenty
.
A
great
Estate
he
got
honestly
and
spent
nobly
;
knowing
that
Princes
honour
them
most
,
that
have
most
;
and
the
People
them
onely
that
employ
most
:
A
Prince
hath
more
reason
to
fear
mony
that
is
spent
,
than
that
which
is
hoorded
because
it
is
easier
for
Subjects
to
oppose
a
Prince
by
Applause
then
by
Armies
.
Reward
(
said
Sin
Ralph
when
he
was
offered
a
sum
of
money
)
should
not
empty
the
Kings
Coffers
;
neither
should
Riches
he
the
Pay
of
Worth
,
which
are
meerly
the
Wages
of
Labour
:
He
that
gives
it
,
embaseth
a
Man
;
he
that
takes
it
,
vilifieth
himself
:
who
is
so
most
Rewarded
,
is
least
.
Since
Honour
hath
lost
the
Value
of
a
Reward
,
Men
have
lost
the
Merit
of
Vertue
,
and
both
become
mercenary
;
Men
lusting
rather
after
the
Wealth
that
buyeth
,
then
after
the
Qualities
that
deserve
it
.
Two
things
he
observed
broke
Treaties
;
Jealousie
,
when
Princes
are
successful
;
and
Fear
,
when
they
are
unfortunate
.
Power
that
hath
need
of
none
,
makes
all
confederacies
,
either
when
it
is
felt
,
or
when
it
is
feared
,
or
when
it
is
envied
.
Three
things
Cato
repented
of
:
1.
That
he
went
by
water
when
he
might
go
by
land
.
2.
That
he
trusted
a
Woman
with
a
secret
.
3.
That
he
lost
Time
.
Two
things
Sir
Ralph
relented
for
:
1.
That
he
had
communicated
a
secret
to
two
.
2.
That
he
had
lost
any
hour
of
the
morning
,
between
four
a
clock
and
ten
.
He
learned
in
King
Henry
the
Eighth's
time
,
as
Cromwel's
Instrument
,
what
he
must
advise
(
in
point
of
Religion
)
in
Queen
Elizabeth's
time
,
as
an
emiment
Counsellour
:
His
Maxime
being
this
,
That
Zeal
was
the
Duty
of
a
private
Brest
,
and
Moderation
the
Interest
of
a
publick
State
.
The
Protestants
Sir
Ralph's
Conscience
would
have
in
the
commencement
of
Queen
Elizabeth
,
kept
in
hope
;
the
Papists
his
Prudence
would
not
have
cast
into
Despair
.
It
was
a
Maxime
at
that
time
in
[
](A48796-e16460-b)b
b
That
of
the
Queens
Marriage
.
another
case
,
That
France
should
not
presume
,
nor
Spain
be
desperate
.
He
saw
the
Interest
of
this
State
altered
six
times
,
and
died
an
honest
Man
:
The
Crown
put
upon
four
Heads
,
yet
he
continued
a
Faithful
Subject
:
Religion
changed
,
as
to
the
publick
constitution
of
it
,
five
times
,
yet
he
kept
the
Faith
.
A
Spartan
one
day
boasted
that
his
Countrey-men
had
been
often
buried
in
Athens
;
The
Athenian
replied
,
But
we
are
most
of
us
buried
at
home
.
So
great
was
Sir
Ralph's
success
in
the
Northern
Wars
,
that
many
a
Scotch
man
found
his
Grave
in
England
;
so
exact
his
conduct
and
wariness
,
that
few
English
men
had
theirs
in
Scotland
;
the
same
ground
giving
them
their
Coffin
,
that
did
their
Cradle
;
and
their
Birth
that
did
their
Death
.
Our
Knights
two
incomparable
Qualities
were
Discipline
and
Intelligence
;
the
last
discovered
him
all
the
Enemies
advantages
,
and
the
first
gave
them
none
.
His
two
main
designs
were
,
1.
An
Interest
in
hi
〈…〉
Prince
,
by
service
.
2.
An
Alliance
with
the
Nobility
by
Marriage
:
upon
which
two
Bottoms
he
raised
himself
to
that
pitch
of
Honour
and
Estate
,
that
time
could
not
wear
out
,
nor
any
alterations
embezle
;
he
bequeathing
to
his
Worshipful
Posterity
the
blessing
of
Heaven
upon
his
Integrity
;
the
lov
〈…〉
of
Mankinde
for
his
Worth
;
and
(
as
Mr.
Full
〈…〉
saith
)
a
Pardon
granted
him
when
he
attended
my
Lord
Cromwel
at
Rome
,
for
the
sins
of
his
Family
for
three
immediate
Generations
,
(
expiring
〈…〉
R.
Sadler
Esquire
,
lately
dead
.
)
His
last
Negotiation
was
that
in
Scotland
,
during
the
trouble
there
about
Queen
Mary
:
so
searching
and
pier
〈…〉cing
he
was
,
that
no
Letter
or
Adviso
passed
whereof
he
had
not
a
Copy
;
so
civil
and
obliging
that
there
was
no
Party
that
had
not
a
Kindness
for
him
.
So
grave
and
solid
,
that
he
was
present
at
all
counsels
;
so
close
and
industrious
,
that
his
hand
though
unseen
was
in
every
motion
of
that
State
〈…〉
and
so
successful
,
that
he
left
the
Nobility
so
divided
that
they
could
not
design
any
thing
upon
the
King
〈…〉
and
the
King
so
weak
,
that
he
could
not
cast
off
the
Queen
;
and
all
so
tottering
,
that
they
must
depend
on
Queen
Elizabeth
.
Three
things
he
bequeathed
such
as
may
have
the
honour
to
succed
him
,
1.
All
Letters
that
concerned
him
since
of
years
,
filed
:
2.
All
Occurrences
,
since
he
was
capable
of
Observation
,
registered
〈…〉
3.
All
Expences
,
since
he
lived
of
himself

Epaminondas

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
William
Paget
.
SIr
William
Paget
was
born
in
the
City
of
London
,
of
honest
Parents
.
He
was
so
able
and
trusty
a
Minister
of
State
,
that
he
was
privy
Counsellour
to
four
successive
Princes
:
He
was
Secretary
to
King
Henry
the
Eighth
;
who
employed
him
Embassador
to
Charles
the
Emperour
and
Francis
King
of
France
.
King
Edward
the
Sixth
made
him
Chancellour
of
the
Dutchy
,
Comptroller
of
his
Houshold
,
and
created
him
Baron
of
Beaudefert
.
Queen
Mary
made
him
Keeper
of
the
Privy-Seal
.
Queen
Elizabeth
highly
respected
him
,
dispencing
with
his
Attendance
at
Court
,
in
favour
to
his
great
Age.
Duke
Dudley
in
the
days
of
King
Edward
,
ignominiously
took
from
him
the
Garter
of
the
Order
,
saying
,
He
was
not
Originally
qualified
for
the
same
:
But
this
was
restored
unto
him
by
Queen
Mary
.
He
died
very
old
,
Anno
1563.
and
was
buried
in
Lichfield
.
His
Education
was
better
then
his
Birth
,
his
Knowledge
higher
then
his
Education
:
His
Parts
above
his
Knowledge
,
and
his
Experience
beyond
his
Parts
:
A
general
Learning
furnished
him
for
Travel
,
and
Travel
seasoned
that
Learning
for
Employment
.
His
Master-piece
was
an
inward
Observation
of
other
Men
,
and
an
exact
knowledge
of
Himself
.
His
Address
was
with
state
,
yet
insinuating
:
His
Discourse
free
,
but
weighed
;
his
apprehension
quick
,
but
staid
:
His
ready
and
present
mind
keeping
its
pauses
of
thoughts
and
expressions
even
with
the
occasion
and
the
emergency
:
neither
was
his
carriage
more
stiff
and
uncompliant
,
then
his
soul
.
Gundamore
could
not
fit
King
James
so
well
as
Sir
William
did
Charles
the
Fifth
,
who
in
a
rapture
once
cried
,
He
deserved
to
B
E
a
King
,
as
well
as
to
REPRESENT
One
:
and
one
day
as
he
came
to
Court
,
Yonder
is
the
Man
I
can
deny
nothing
to
.
Apollonius
coming
to
Vespatian's
Gate
betimes
in
the
morning
,
and
finding
him
up
,
said
,
Surely
this
man
will
be
Emperour
,
he
is
up
so
early
.
This
Statesman
must
needs
be
eminent

was
up

the
earliest
of

Affairs
,
and

in

those
Discoveries

of
Embassadors

Charles
observed

sent
him
from
England
〈…〉
the
first
was
Wolsey
,
whose
great
Train
promised
much
,
as

did
nothing
:
The
second
was

:
These
are

saith
the

For
his
service
he
would
chuse
a
Man
before
a
Scholar
,
a
Traveller
before
a
Home-bred
:
Parts
he
preserred

,
but
dissembled
it
for
his
own
:
He
is
the
man
,
that
loseth
neither
his
Privacy
nor
his
Reputation
.
Quiet
was
his
temper
,
though
noble
his
resolution
:
Troublesome
is
a
witty
man
on
a
stage
,
as
a
Monkey
in
a
cupboard
of
glass
.
Placed
,
sweet
and
composed
is
the
prudent
Man
,
like
an
Intelligence
in
the
Heavens
,
or
a
god
in
the
World
.
Up
he
went
,
but
by
just
degrees
;
that
if
down
he
must
,
he
might
do
so
with
the
same
leasure
and
safety
.
When
he
had
managed
the
Secrets
and
Negotiations
of
Henry
the
Eighth
,
with
Dexterity
and
Faithfulness
;
the
Lands
of
King
Edward
the
Sixth
,
with
Skill
and
Improvement
;
the
Purses
of
Queen
Mary
&
Queen
Elizabeth
,
with
good
Husbandry
and
Care
:
When
he
had
lived
enough
to
his
Countries
,
to
his
Soveraigns
,
to
his
Friends
,
and
the
Publique
Good
;
he
retired
to
live
to
Himself
first
,
and
then
to
his
GOD.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Richard
Morisin
.
SIr
Richard
Morisin
born
in
Essex
(
or
in
Oxford-shire
[
](A48796-e17590-b)e
e
Saith
Sir
Richard
Baker
.
)
was
brought
up
[
](A48796-e17610-b)f
f
Per
celebriora
Anglorum
Gymnasia
artes
excoluit
.
at
Eaton
,
Cambridge
,
and
Inns
of
Court
.
He
was
so
skilful
in
Latine
and
Greek
,
and
in
the
Common
and
Civil
Law
,
that
he
was
often
employed
Embassador
by
King
Henry
the
VIII
,
and
Edward
the
VI
,
unto
Charles
the
Fifth
Emperour
,
and
other
Princes
of
Germany
;
which
he
discharged
with
all
honesty
and
ability
.
After
the
death
of
King
Edward
the
VI
,
he
was
forced
to
fly
beyond
the
seas
;
and
returning
out
of
Italy
,
died
at
Strasburgh
,
on
the
17
of
March
1556.
Three
things
made
a
compleat
man
in
those
days
▪
1.
A
publick
School
,
where
their
School-fellows
Genius's
instruct
much
more
then
their
School-masters
pains
;
where
a
man
attains
at
once
to
Learning
,
Prudence
,
and
a
Spirit
:
2.
A
comprehensive
insight
into
Tongues
and
Sciences
;
by
the
first
whereof
they
unlocked
Men
,
and
by
the
second
,
Things
:
3.
Travel
,
where
they
saw
what
they
read
,
and
made
that
a
solid
apprehension
and
observation
,
which
was
before
but
a
fluid
notion
and
a
floating
imagination
:
Our
Knight
was
happy
in
all
Three
,
but
so
compleat
in
the
last
,
that
he
had
the
Vertues
and
Port
of
a
German
,
as
if
he
had
been
a
Native
of
that
place
;
and
loathed
the
Vices
,
as
if
he
had
never
seen
it
:
Thereby
he
could
get
so
far
within
that
people
,
that
he
saw
all
their
Intrigues
;
and
be
yet
so
reserved
,
that
they
could
see
nothing
:
The
ablest
German
Divines
guided
his
conscience
,
and
the
greatest
Statesmen
his
Negotiation
.
He
kept
under
the
Emperour
by
the
Princes
,
the
French
by
the
Emperour
,
and
the
Pope
by
them
all
.
So
much
service
did
the
good
Knight
to
King
Henry
the
Eighth
,
in
his
Wife
Katharine's
Case
;
and
so
much
the
whole
Kingdom
,
in
that
of
Religion
;
that
he
equally
fled
Queen
Mary's
wrath
,
and
her
Religions
Persecutions
.
His
strong
parts
set
off
his
comprehensive
knowledge
;
his
resolute
spirit
,
his
parts
;
and
his
presence
and
meen
,
all
:
King
Henry
always
chusing
an
Embassador
that
might
represent
his
Person
as
well
as
his
Power
:
And
Sir
Richard
had
his
Hogh
in
Germany
,
as
well
as
Henry
in
England
.
His
knack
was
his
foresight
,
which
made
that
an
Adviso
in
England
,
which
was
hardly
a
known
design
there
:
saying
usually
,
His
Master
maintained
not
Embassadors
so
much
to
write
Histories
as
Prophecies
.
The
Trojans
sent
to
condole
with
Caesar
for
his
Son
that
was
dead
two
year
ago
;
he
thanked
them
,
and
condoled
with
them
for
Hector
,
that
was
slain
as
many
hundred
years
.
Our
Embassador
in
France
adviseth
Sir
Richard
of
a
Battel
fought
a
Week
before
,
and
he
in
answer
makes
a
large
discourse
of
the
Battel
of
Spurs
fought
many
years
before
;
and
adds
,
I
and
You
are
not
here
to
tell
old
stories
.
Two
things
,
he
said
,
he
was
troubled
with
,
Envy
and
Malice
;
and
two
Remedies
he
had
against
them
,
Patience
and
Resolution
.
Always
he
wheeled
with
the
first
Mover
,
yet
he
had
private
motions
of
his
own
:
Singular
,
but
modest
:
So
faithful
he
was
,
that
he
would
declare
his
Opinion
;
yet
so
wary
,
that
he
would
not
stand
in
it
against
his
Prince
;
knowing
,
that
if
he
did
it
out
of
prudence
,
he
rendered
the
Princes
Ability
suspected
;
if
out
of
his
own
sagacity
,
it
blemished
his
Integrity
:
Both
equal
inconveniencies
,
to
intimate
the
Master
Unable
,
or
the
Servant
Corrupt
.
When
others
pressed
for
an
over-strict
Reformation
,
this
Gentleman
urged
,
That
Distempers
in
the
Body
and
State
are
reduced
by
Physicians
and
Politicians
not
to
what
they
should
be
,
but
to
what
they
can
be
:
Freedom
,
Moderation
and
Impartiality
are
the
best
tempers
of
Reforming
Counsels
and
Endeavours
:
What
is
acted
singularly
,
must
offend
more
then
it
pleaseth
;
a
study
to
gratifie
some
men
,
being
a
likely
way
to
injure
all
:
The
novelty
of
excessive
and
immoderate
undertakings
giving
not
so
much
content
to
the
vulgar
of
a
present
Age
,
as
the
mischiefs
of
them
give
offence
to
the
Generations
of
●utu●e
times
.
And
Melancthon's
discourse
to
him
was
to
this
purpose
:
That
the
Reformation
of
hearts
should
go
before
that
of
Churches
;
and
men
should
try
that
on
their
own
hearts
which
they
design
upon
the
Church
:
For
Deformities
within
,
will
soon
betray
the
Pretenders
of
publique
Reformation
to
such
private
designs
as
must
needs
hinder
the
publique
Good
.
It
would
be
an
easie
matter
for
Favourites
to
reform
Kings
Palaces
(
saith
Malvezzi
)
if
it
were
not
a
hard
thing
to
reform
their
own
houses
.
One
asked
him
,
Why
his
Embassie
tended
so
much
more
to
preserve
his
Masters
Dominions
,
then
to
augment
them
?
And
he
replied
what
is
fathered
on
Henry
the
Fourth
,
That
Getting
is
a
Chance
,
but
Keeping
is
a
Wit.
After
a
long
residence
abroad
,
he
thought
of
an
Habitation
at
home
;
which
he
no
sooner
began
at
Cashobery
in
Hertfordshire
,
but
King
Edward
going
out
of
the
World
,
the
good
Knight
was
forced
out
of
his
house
and
the
Kingdom
.
He
was
the
first
that
said
,
Policy
is
not
the
learning
of
some
Rules
,
but
the
Observation
of
Circumstances
,
with
a
present
minde
in
all
junctures
of
affairs
;
which
(
he
would
say
)
was
their
happiness
onely
,
that
had
good
memories
:
For
when
one
said
he
had
seen
much
,
heard
more
,
and
read
most
:
You
were
(
said
he
)
a
more
compleat
man
,
could
you
say
,
I
remembered
as
much
.
Secretary
Walsingham
would
say
,
My
Lord
,
stay
a
little
,
and
we
shall
have
done
the
sooner
:
Secretary
Cecil
said
,
It
shall
never
be
said
of
me
,
That
I
will
defer
till
to
morrow
what
I
can
do
to
day
:
And
Sir
Richard
Morisin
,
Give
me
this
day
,
and
take
the
next
your self
.
Noble
was
his
Resolution
,
when
he
said
,
He
scorned
to
take
pensions
from
an
Emperour
of
Germany
,
since
an
Emperour
of
Germany
took
pay
of
the
King
of
England
.
His
statute
was
something
tall
,
and
procured
him
reverence
;
his
temper
reserved
,
and
commanding
security
to
his
person
and
his
business
.
He
that
knoweth
to
speak
well
,
knoweth
also
where
he
must
hold
his
peace
,
said
the
old
Graecian
:
Think
an
hour
before
you
speak
,
and
a
day
before
you
promise
,
said
this
English-Roman
.
With
Ferdinand
the
Emperour
he
prevailed
for
the
Popes
assistance
,
and
with
Maximilian
for
his
Masters
against
the
French
.
Never
was
his
Master
Henry
so
high
,
as
to
set
him
above
treating
;
nor
his
Soveraign
Edward
so
low
,
as
to
make
him
afraid
of
War
;
although
he
looked
upon
the
way
of
Treaties
,
as
a
retiring
from
fighting
like
Beasts
,
to
arguing
like
men
;
whose
strength
should
be
more
in
their
Understandings
,
then
in
their
Limbs
.
I
have
(
said
a
great
Prince
)
greater
confidence
in
my
Reason
then
in
my
Sword
;
and
am
so
resolved
to
yeild
to
the
first
,
that
I
thought
neither
my self
nor
others
should
use
the
second
,
if
once
we
rightly
understood
one
another
.
It
's
humane
to
use
Reason
rather
than
Force
,
and
Christian
to
seek
peace
and
ensue
it
.
Christian
was
his
Temper
,
and
Religious
his
carriage
;
so
charitable
,
that
he
relieved
the
Confessors
,
as
though
he
had
been
none
himself
;
and
so
constant
,
that
he
continued
his
sufferings
,
as
if
there
were
no
other
.
Much
good
did
his
Countenance
do
the
Exiles
in
the
Courts
of
Forreign
Princes
;
and
more
his
Authority
at
the
Troubles
of
Frankford
,
where
his
Motive
to
love
,
was
the
hatred
of
the
Enemy
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Doctor
Nicholas
Wotton
.
NIcholas
Wotton
,
son
to
Sir
Robert
,
born
at
Bockton-malherb
in
the
County
of
Kent
,
(
a
place
so
named
,
from
some
noxious
and
malignant
herbs
growing
therein
)
was
bred
in
Oxon
,
Doctor
of
the
Civil
Laws
;
and
was
the
first
Dean
●f
the
two
Metropolitan
Churches
of
Ganterbury
and
York
.
He
was
Privy-Counsellour
to
four
successive
Soveraigns
,
viz.
-
〈…〉ing
-
Henry
the
VIII
.
-
Edward
the
VI.
-
Queen
-
Mary
.
-
Elizabeth
.
He
was
employed
thirteen
several
times
in
Emassies
to
Forreign
Princes
.
Five
times
to
Charles
the
Fifth
Emperour
.
Once
to
Philip
his
son
,
King
of
Spain
.
Once
to
Francis
the
First
,
King
of
France
.
Once
to
Mary
Queen
of
Hungary
,
Governess
of
he
Netherlands
.
Twice
to
William
Duke
of
Cleve
.
Once
to
renew
the
peace
between
England
,
France
and
Scotland
,
Anno
1540.
Again
to
the
same
purpose
at
Cambray
,
Anno
1549.
Once
sent
Commissioner
with
others
to
Edenburgh
in
Scotland
,
1560.
He
refused
the
Archbishoprick
of
Canterbury
,
proferred
him
in
the
first
of
Queen
Elizabeth
.
He
died
January
26.
in
1566.
being
about
seventy
years
of
Age
,
and
was
buried
in
Canterbury
.
Justinian
reduced
the
Law
of
Nations
to
one
Body
,
and
Doctor
Wotton
comprehended
them
in
one
Soul
:
Publick
was
his
spirit
,
and
such
his
thoughts
:
That
profession
that
was
designed
for
the
settlement
of
the
worlds
commerce
,
was
now
confined
to
a
Bishops
Court
,
a
Churchwardens
Oath
,
or
a
rich
mans
Will
;
when
this
excellent
Person
first
enlarged
it
as
far
as
the
sea
,
in
the
Cases
of
the
Admiralty
;
and
as
wide
as
the
world
,
in
the
Negotiations
of
Embassie
.
Others
were
trusted
with
the
Interest
of
Princes
,
He
with
that
of
Nations
.
He
that
saw
him
,
would
think
he
could
deny
nothing
so
modest
Scholar-like
his
looks
!
He
that
heard
him
would
judge
he
would
grant
nothing
,
so
undeniable
his
Reason
!
so
irrefragable
his
Arguments
▪
His
speech
was
as
ready
as
his
resolution
was
present
▪
His
apprehension
quick
and
clear
:
his
method
exact
:
his
reading
vast
and
indefatigable
:
his
memory
(
strong
as
to
things
,
though
not
to
words
)
tenacious
:
his
elocution
copious
and
flowing
.
What
〈…〉
Henry
Wotton
said
of
sir
Philip
Sidney
,
I
may
say
〈◊〉
Nicholas
Wotton
,
That
he
was
the
very
measure
of
congruity
.
What
that
Counsellour
writ
to
the
Frence
King
in
a
great
sheet
(
when
he
required
his
Advice
)
that
our
Doctor
advised
our
Princes
in
several
Discourses
,
viz.
Madus
,
A
Mean
.
Sir
,
(
said
King
Henry
to
him
,
now
not
forty
years
old
)
I
have
sent
a
Head
by
Cromwel
,
a
Purse
by
Wolsey
,
a
Sword
by
Brandon
,
and
I
must
now
send
the
Law
by
You
,
to
treat
with
my
Enemies
.
Augustus
lamented
for
Varrus
his
death
,
because
,
he
said
,
Now
I
have
none
in
my
Countrey
to
tell
me
the
truth
:
With
Wotton
went
off
that
faithfulness
that
Peasants
have
,
and
Princes
want
:
None
more
resolute
abroad
,
none
more
bold
and
downright
at
home
.
His
plain
dealing
saved
King
Henry
some
Treasure
,
King
Edward
the
North
,
Queen
Mary
Calice
for
a
while
,
and
Queen
Elizabeth
her
Faith
and
Crown
:
A
Vertue
that
made
him
the
Overseer
of
most
Forreign
Ministers
Actions
abroad
,
and
one
of
the
sixteen
Executors
of
King
Henry's
Will
and
Testament
at
home
.
Gardiner
was
sly
and
close
,
but
Wotton
prudent
and
wise
.
In
the
Treaty
at
Calice
there
are
two
things
remarkable
of
our
Doctor
,
1.
That
he
first
insisted
on
the
peace
with
France
,
before
that
of
Scotland
:
2.
He
would
say
,
Rather
give
away
Calice
,
then
reserve
a
Right
in
it
fifteen
years
hence
:
for
never
was
the
Interest
of
any
Nation
so
constant
,
as
to
keep
a
promise
half
so
many
years
.
Indeed
Sir
William
Cecil's
reach
went
no
further
for
a
Layman
,
then
Doctor
Wotton
for
a
Church-man
:
Therefore
they
two
were
pitched
upon
for
the
management
of
the
Intrigues
and
Affairs
of
Scotland
.
Many
envied
this
happy
man
,
but
none
could
be
without
him
,
who
was
the
Oracle
of
both
Laws
at
Councels
;
who
could
sum
up
the
merit
of
any
Cause
,
recollect
the
circumstances
of
any
Affair
;
and
shew
Tables
of
Trade
,
Commerce
,
Situations
,
Counsels
,
Revenue
,
Interest
,
&c.
the
readiest
and
exactest
any
in
England
.
But
all
these
Qualifications
must
die
,
and
he
with
them
:
leaving
it
as
his
Advice
,
First
,
To
Church-men
:
To
understand
well
the
Common
and
Canon-Law
,
as
well
as
the
Divine
;
by
the
first
whereof
,
they
might
understand
their
right
as
by
the
second
,
they
informed
themselves
and
others●
their
duty
.
Secondly
,
To
Statesmen
:
Travel
and
History
.
Thirdly
,
To
Embassadors
:
1.
A
good
Purse
:
2.
A
noble
and
sober
Train
:
3.
Constant
correspondent
and
observation
:
4.
A
happy
medley
of
Debonai●
ness
and
Complacency
,
Reservedness
and
Gravity
with
the
first
he
had
taken
Princes
,
and
with
the

Statesmen

Resolution
:
I
made
often
(
said

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Thomas
Wriothesly
,
the
first
Earl
of
Southampton
.
THomas
Wriothesly
Knight
of
the
Garter
,
was
born
in
Barbican
,
Son
to
William
Wriothesly
(
descended
from
an
Heir
general
of
the
antient
Family
of
the
Dunsterviles
)
King
of
Arms.
He
was
bred
in
the
University
of
Cambridge
,
as
it
appears
by
Mr.
Ascam's
Letter
unto
him
,
writing
in
the
behalf
of
the
University
,
when
he
was
Lord
Chancellour
.

His
University-Learning
prepared
him
for
the
Law
,
and
his
indefatigable
study
of
the
Law
promoted
him
to
the
Court
;
where
,
for
his
Honour
,
he
was
created
Baron
of
Tichbourn
,
Jan.
1.
1543.
and
for
his
Profit
,
the
next
year
,
May
3.
Lord
Chancellour
;
a
place
he
discharged
with
more
Applause
then
any
before
him
,
and
with
as
much
Integrity
as
any
since
him
:
Force
(
he
said
)
awed
,
b●
Justice
governed
the
world
.
It
is
given
to
that
Family
to
be
Generous
are
Resolute
:
This
incomparable
Person
was
under
cloud
in
King
Edward's
time
,
for
being
a
rigidly
conscientious
Papist
;
and
his
great
Granchild
suffered
in
King
Charles
his
time
,
for
being
a
sincere
honest
Protestant
:
Yet
so
reverenced
was
the
first
of
this
Family
by
his
Adversaries
,
that
he
was
made
Earl
of
Southampton
;
and
so
honoured
was
the
other
by
his
Enemies
,
that
they
courted
him
to
the
party
.
Integrity
hath
a
Majesty
in
its
full
,
and
Glory
in
its
lowest
Estate
;
that
is
,
always
feared
though
not
always
loved
.
No
Nobleman
understood
the
Roman
Religion
better
then
the
first
Earl
of
Southampton
;
and
non
the
Protestant
better
then
the
last
,
the
Right
Honourable
and
truly
Excellent
Thomas
Earl
of
Southampton
,
and
Treasurer
of
England
.
His
Court
,
he
said
,
gave
Law
to
the
Kingdom
His
constant
and
exact
Rules
,
to
the
Court
;
and
h●
Conscience
guided
by
the
Law
of
the
Kingdom
,
〈◊〉
his
Rules
.
Affable
and
acceptable
he
was
,
as
More
quick
and
ready
,
as
Wolsey
;
incorrupt
,
as
Egerton
apprehensive
and
knowing
,
as
Bacon
.
Twice
were
all
Cases
depending
in
Chancery
dispatched
;
in
Sir
Thomas
Wriothesley's
time
,
1538.
and
in
Sir
More's
,
1532.
Truly
did
he
judge
intra
Cancellos
,
deciding
Cases
with
that
Uprightness
,
that
he
wished
a
Window
to
his
Actions
,
yea
and
his
Heart
too
.
King
Philip
was
not
at
leasure
to
hear
a
poor
Womans
Cause
;
Then
,
said
she
,
cease
to
be
King
.
My
Lord
over-hearing
a
servant
putting
off
a
Petitioner
,
because
his
Master
was
not
at
leasure
,
takes
him
up
roundly
,
and
replies
,
You
had
as
good
say
,
I
am
not
at
leasure
to
be
Lord
Chancellour
.
Two
things
he
would
not
have
his
servants
gain
by
,
his
Livings
and
his
Decrees
;
The
first
,
he
said
,
were
Gods
,
the
second
the
Kings
,
(
whom
every
man
,
he
said
,
sold
,
that
sold
Justice
:
)
To
honest
men
,
your
places
,
said
he
,
are
enough
;
to
Knaves
,
too
much
.
Every
Week
he
had
a
Schedule
of
his
own
Accounts
,
and
every
Month
of
his
Servants
.
Cato's
greatest
Treasure
was
his
Account-Book
of
Sicily
;
and
my
Lord
of
Southampton's
was
his
Table
of
the
Chancellours
place
.
A
great
Estate
was
conferred
upon
him
,
which
he
took
not
in
his
own
name
,
to
avoid
the
odium
of
Sacriledge
;
as
great
an
Inheritance
he
bought
,
but
in
others
names
,
to
escape
the
malice
of
Envy
.
He
loved
a
Bishop
,
he
said
,
to
satisfie
his
conscience
;
a
Lawyer
,
to
guide
his
Judgement
;
a
good
Family
,
to
keep
up
his
Interest
;
and
an
University
,
to
preserve
his
name
.
Full
of
Years
and
Worth
,
he
died
1550.
at
Lincoln-place
,
and
was
buried
at
St.
Andrews
Church

in

Thirtieth

of

;
and
although
now
there
be
none
left
〈◊〉
Redlinch
of
his
Name
and
Family
,
they
flourish
still
at
Lewson
in
Dorsetshire
,
descended
from
Allured
Fitz-James
brother
to
this
Judge
,
and
to
Richard
Bishop
of
London
.
The
two
main
Principles
that
guide
humane
Nature
(
saith
Judge
Dodderidge
)
are
Conscience
and
Law
:
By
the
former
we
are
obliged
in
reference
to
another
world
,
by
the
latter
in
relation
to
this
.
Priests
and
Judges
are
the
Dispensers
of
these
Principles
:
No
Prince
more
unhappy
in
his
Priests
then
King
Henry
(
whose
unhappiness
it
was
,
that
all
the
juggle
,
prevarication
and
imposture
of
his
time
was
in
the
Pulpit
,
)
none
more
happy
in
his
Judges
,
(
to
whose
Reason
his
People
were
more
willing
to
submit
,
then
they
were
to
hearken
to
his
Clergy's
Instruction
)
among
whom
none
more
renowned
then
Sir
John
Fiz-James
,
who
was
so
fearful
of
the
very
shadow
&
appearance
of
corruption
,
that
it
cost
his
chief
Clerk
his
place
but
for
taking
a
Tankard
,
after
a
signal
Cause
of
1500
l.
a
year
,
wherein
he
had
been
serviceable
,
though
not
as
a
Bribe
,
but
as
a
Civility
.
Caesar
would
have
his
Wife
without
suspicion
of
lewdness
,
and
Fitz-James
his
servants
without
the
appearance
of
corruption
.
What
was
Law
alwayes
,
was
then
a
Resolution
,
Neither
to
deny
,
nor
defer
,
nor
sell
Justice
.
When
our
Judge
came
upon
the
Bench
,
he
knew
no
more
then
Melchisedech
or
Levi
,
Father
or
Mother
,
neither
Friend
nor
Interest
:
for
when
his
Cousin
urged
for
a
kindeness
,
Come
to
my
House
(
saith
the
Judge
)
I
will
deny
you
nothing
;
come
to
the
Kings
Court
and
I
must
do
you
justice
?
And
when
the
Attorney-General
bespake
his
favour
in
a
publick
Cause
;
Trouble
not
your self
,
(
said
he
)
I
'll
do
the
King
right
:
The
King
is
cast
,
the
Attorney
expostulates
;
the
Judge
satisfieth
him
,
That
he
could
not
do
his
Majesty
Right
,
if
he
had
not
done
justice
.
His
Prudence
so
tempered
his
zeal
for
his
Soveraign
,
that
he
over-strained
not
the
Prerogative
to
bring
in
fears
and
jealousies
of
Tyranny
on
the
one
hand
;
and
his
Integrity
so
balanced
his
Popularity
,
that
he
never
depressed
it
to
broach
bold
opinions
and
attempts
of
Liberty
,
on
the
other
:
complying
with
none
of
those
humours
that
an
imaginary
dread
of
oppression
,
or
a
dangerous
presumption
of
freedom
may
transport
to
irregular
excesses
either
for
the
one
,
or
against
the
other
.
As
his
Majesty
was
secured
by
his
Loyalty
,
so
his
Subjects
were
by
his
Patience
,
a
Vertue
he
carried
with
him
to
the
Bench
,
to
attend
each
circumstance
of
an
Evidence
,
each
allegation
of
a
Plea
,
each
plea
in
a
Cause
;
hearing
what
was
impertinent
,
and
observing
what
was
proper
.
His
usual
saying
(
as
Sergeant
Mandevil
reports
it
)
being
,
We
must
have
two
souls
,
as
two
sieves
,
one
for
the
Bran
,
the
other
for
the
flour
;
the
one
for
the
Gross
of
a
Discourse
,
the
other
for
the
Quintessence
.
The
same
day
that
there
was
no
Cause
to
be
tried
in
the
Chancery
in
Sir
More's
time
,
there
were
but
three
in
the
Kings
Bench
,
in
Sir
John
Fitz-James
his
time
:
the
reason
whereof
some
imagine
was
Cardinal
Wolsey's
extraordinary
power
(
that
engrossed
all
Causes
to
his
Legantine
Court
;
)
others
know
it
was
the
Judges
Integrity
,
who
was
too
honest
to
allow
,
as
that
Age
was
too
plain
to
contrive
delays
and
obstructions
.
Lewis
the
Eleventh
of
France
would
say
,
when
he
was
advised
to
take
Revenge
of
those
that
had
affronted
him
before
he
came
to
the
Crown
,
That
it
became
not
the
King
of
France
to
revenge
the
Injuries
done
to
the
Duke
of
Orleans
.
A
Person
that
had
notoriously
wronged
Sir
John
when
a
Templer
,
in
the
case
of
his
Chamber
,
was
to
be
tried
before
him
for
his
whole
Estate
when
a
Judge
;
the
Adversaries
among
other
shifts
made
use
of
this
old
Quarrel
;
whereupon
Sir
John
said
,
It
doth
not
become
a
Judge
upon
the
Bench
to
revenge
a
wrong
done
in
his
chamber
.
Two
things
upheld
him
in
those
boysterous
times
:
1.
Silence
,
2.
Patience
:
both
wary
Vertues
that
seldom
endanger
their
Owner
,
or
displease
their
Superiours
.
The
People
of
those
times
would
live
and
die
with
the
Pope
and
Councel
;
and
this
Judge
,
with
the
King
and
Parliament
:
The
grand
Article
of
his
Faith
was
,
I
believe
as
the
Church
believes
:
and
the
great
Rule
of
his
Practice
was
,
I
will
live
as
the
Law
directs
.
He
was
a
tried
Man
,
whose
Faith
and
Honour
was
above
his
Life
and
Fortune
;
whose
Generosity
was
above
that
first
temptation
of
Money
,
as
his
Spirit
was
above
the
second
of
Danger
:
No
fear
here
of
delivering
up
Priviledges
to
day
,
for
fear
of
the
King
;
or
Prerogative
to
morrow
,
for
fear
of
the
Subject
:
No
,
an
unbiass'd
Temper
between
both
,
make
up
this
honest
man
;
who
came
on
to
preferment
with
great
Expectations
,
and
went
off
with
great
Applause
:
being
one
of
the
three
men
of
whom
it
is
said
,
That
because
they
never
pleased
their
Master
in
doing
any
thing
unworthy
,
they
never
displeased
him
in
doing
any
thing
that
is
just
.
When
base
compliance
goeth
off
with
the
contempt
of
those
it
hath
humoured
,
a
Noble
Resolution
comes
off
with
the
Reverence
of
those
it
hath
discontented
.

Life

Descendent

That

from
Will
.
Molineux
Knight
,
of
Sefton
in
Lancashire
,
flourished
under
King
Henry
the
Eighth
,
being
a
man
of
great
command
in
Lancashire
;
bringing
the
conside
able
strength
thereof
to
the
seasonable
succour
of
the
Duke
of
Norfolk
,
with
whom
he
performed
signal
service
in
Flodden
Field
.
It
is
confessed
on
all
sides
that
the
Scots
lost
the
day
,
by
not
keeping
their
Ranks
,
but
not
agreed
on
the
cause
thereof
.
Buchanan
(
who
commonly
makes
the
too
much
Courage
of
his
Countrymen
,
the
cause
of
their
being
conquered
)
imputes
it
to
their
indiscreet
pursuing
of
the
English
routed
at
the
first
:
Others
say
,
They
did
not
break
their
Ranks
,
but
were
broken
,
unable
to
endure
the
Lancashire
Archers
,
and
so
forced
to
sunder
themselves
.
In
this
Bittel
the
Scotch
King
and
chiefest
Gentry
were
slain
,
the
English
losing
scarce
any
;
of
the
Scots
scarce
any
but
of
prime
note

The
King
afward
wrote
his
Gratulatory
Letter
to
Sir
William
Molineux
,
in
form
following
.
TRusty
and
Well-Beloved

We

And

well
by
the
Report
of
Our
Right
Trusty
Cousin

Counsellour

the
Duke
of
Norfolk
,
as
otherwise
,
what
acceptable
service
You
amongst
Others
lately
did
Vs
by
your
valiant
Towardness
in
the
assisting
of
Our
said
Cousin
against
Our
Enemy
,
late
King
of
Scots
;
and
how
couragiously
you
,
as
a
very
hearty
loving
Servant
acquitted
your self
for

of
the

King
,
and
distressing
of
his
Malice
and
Power

to
Our
great
Honour
,

of

little
Fame
and
Praise

same
right

comfor
and
weal
hereafter
.
Given
under
Our
Signet
,
at
Our
Castle
at
Windsor
,
the
seven
and
twentieth
of
November
.
It
appears
by
our
Author
,
that
the
like
Letters
,
mutatis
mutandis
,
were
sent
unto
Sir
Edward
Stanley
,
and
some
other
men
of
principal
note
in
Lancashire
and
Cheshire
.
There
is
more
in
the
Education
then
the
Birth
(
though
that
be
Noble
too
)
of
this
Gentleman
:
much
Generous
Blood
sparkled
in
his
Veins
,
more
Arts
and
Sciences
thronged
in
his
Soul
:
A
learned
Prince
brought
up
a
learned
Gentry
,
the
most
hopeful
of
whom
think
themselves
as
much
obliged
to
imitate
his
Vertues
,
as
the
most
degenerate
were
inclined
to
practise
his
Vices
.
Four
excellent
Artists
were
at
once
entertained
in
his
Fathers
House
:
1.
A
compleat
Grammarian
and
Linguist
,
Parker
:
2.
An
exact
Mathematician
and
Historian
,
Calvius
:
3.
A
skilful
Musitian
,
Pallevicino
;
and
4.
An
active
Dancing-master
and
Souldier
.
The
Latine
Tongue
then
wearing
out
its
Barbarism
,
he
spake
and
writ
elegantly
:
Cicero's
Works
he
kenned
particularly
:
Plutarch's
Lives
and
Morrals
(
that
Book
which
,
as
Gaza
said
,
would
furnish
the
World
,
if
Learning
were
lost
)
he
epitomized
punctually
:
The
active
and
practical
part
of
Geometry
,
he
studied
intently
.
And
,
as
the
complaisance
of
his
Nature
,
and
sweetness
of
his
Temper
,
he
added
to
these
severer
studies
,
those
more
airy
of
Musick
,
Poetry
and
Heraldry
.
Si
ad
naturam
eximium
cruditio
accesserit
tum
demum
Cic.
pro
Archiâ
Poetâ
singulare
quoddam
existere
solet
.
This
Noble
Nature
advanced
by
this
Heroick
Education
,
must
needs
do
Wonders
,
as
it
did
:
first
,
In
the
University
:
where
his
Company
was
choice
,
his
Carriage
even
and
staid
,
his
time
exactly
observed
and
prudently
spent
:
secondly
,
abroad
:
where
his
Converse
was
wary
,
his
Conduct
Noble
and
Plausible
,
his
observations
and
exercises
manlike
and
knowing
:
thirdly
,
at
Court
:
where
his
presence
was
graceful
,
his
discourse
solid
,
digested
,
distinct
and
clear
;
much
improved
by
reading
,
more
by
travelling
,
most
by
conference
with
those
that
speak
well
:
fourthly
,
in
the
Country
:
where
his
Hospitality
was
renowned
,
his
Equity
and
Prudence
beloved
,
and
his
Interest
large
and
commanding
.
None
pleased
the
King
at
Court
more
,
such
his
Learning
to
satisfie
him
,
such
his
Debonairness
to
delight
him
;
(
for
,
as
Cardinal
Wolsey
,
so
Sir
William
Molineux
got
in
with
King
Henry
the
Eighth
by
a
Discourse
out
of
Aquinas
in
the
morning
,
and
a
Dance
at
night
:
)
None
served
him
better
in
the
Country
;
such
his
obligations
upon
Tenants
and
Neighbours
,
that
he
had
six
thousand
men
at
command
:
such
his
prudence
and
justice
,
that
there
were
more
differences
ended
in
his
Parlour
,
then
in
Westminster-Hall
:
such
his
care
and
watchfulness
,
that
no
Treason
stirred
,
but
his
Agents
discovered
,
and
his
Militia
was
at
an
hours
warning
to
suppress
it
:
The
Idea
of
an
English
Gentleman
!
In
Favour
at
Court
!
In
Repute
in
the
Country
!
At
once
Loved
and
Feared
!
Four
things
he
took
special
care
of
:
1.
That
the
Poor
might
have
their
stated
Alms.
2.
That
the
Priests
might
enjoy
their
known
Dues
.
And
3.
That
his
Tenant
might
be
so
well
used
,
that
he
might
thrive
;
and
but
so
well
,
that
he
should
not
be
idle
.
4.
That
every
Body
should
be
employed
:
saying
,
He
had
rather
they
should
be
busie
,
though
doing
nothing
to
the
purpose
,
at
the
charge
of
his
Purse
;
then
that
they
should
be
idle
,
doing
nothing
at
all
,
at
the
charge
of
their
own
pretious
time
.
In
a
world
,
he
lived
in
all
Capacities
a
publick
Good
,
and
died
a
common
Loss
:
Leaving
in
his
Family
that
best
Legacie
,
A
good
Example
;
and
his
Country
that
lasting
Monument
,
A
good
Name
,
for
two
things
that
he
hated
;
1.
Depopulating
Inclosures
:
2.
Unworthy
Inhancements
of
Rents
:
For
he
died
with
this
Advice
to
his
Son
,
Let
the
Vnderwoods
grow
.
The
Tenants
are
the
supports
of
a
Family
,
and
the
Commonalty
are
the
strength
of
the
Kingdom
.
Improve
thriftily
,
but
force
not
violently
either
your
Bounds
or
Rents
above
your
fore-Fathers
.
His
Popularity
never
failed
of
being
called
to
the
Parliament
,
nor
his
Activity
of
being
useful
there
:
None
understood
better
how
to
move
,
to
press
,
to
quit
,
to
divert
,
to
escape
,
to
watch
and
mould
a
business
:
None
knew
better
the
confederacie
of
Contrivers
,
Speakers
,
Sticklers
,
Dividers
,
Moderators
,
and
the
I
and
No-Men
,
their
Method
and
Correspondence
:
None
more
patient
and
industrious
,
when
a
lower
Faction
was
firmer
in
conjunction
,
and
a
few
that
were
stiff
,
tired
out
many
more
moderate
:
He
had
no
easiness
to
be
imposed
upon
,
no
weakness
to
be
deluded
no
low
Interest
to
be
corrupted
by
fond
hopes
or
fair
promises
of
Preferment
,
to
wave
the
very
pinch
of
a
dispute
;
no
pleasure
or
vanity
to
be
debauched
,
while
the
vigilant
Faction
steals
a
Vote
worth
a
Kingdom
;
no
sloath
nor
neglect
,
to
be
surprized
;
no
vanity
of
discourse
,
to
lose
his
Master
,
no
partiality
to
be
biassed
,
no
discontent
to
satisfie
,
no
passion
to
misguide
:
As
one
that
hated
nothing
,
but
what
was
Dishonest
;
feared
nothing
,
but
what
was
Ignoble
;
and
loved
nothing
,
but
was
Just
and
Honourable
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
William
Fitz-Williams
.
HIs
Judgement
in
Parliament
brought
him
to
the
notice
,
and
his
Activity
in
the
Wars
recommended
him
to
the
service
of
King
Henry
.
The
Bishops
pleaded
for
the
Catholique
Religion
,
the
People
for
a
Reformation
;
Sir
William
offered
his
Opinion
for
a
mean
between
both
;
That
since
it
was
unreasonable
to
tie
up
Mankind
in
blind
obedience
one
toward
another
,
and
impossible
to
run
through
all
Difficulties
and
Controversies
our
own
selves
,
(
so
much
Time
and
Money
must
be
spent
in
such
an
Undertaking
,
so
many
Languages
learned
,
so
many
Authors
read
,
so
many
Ages
looked
into
,
so
many
Faith
's
examined
,
so
many
Expositors
conferred
,
so
many
Contradictions
reconciled
,
so
many
Countries
travelled
,
for
any
considerable
satisfaction
)
to
believe
all
,
is
inconsistent
;
to
neglect
all
,
is
impious
:
There
remains
no
other
way
for
the
Laicks
,
but
to
recollect
and
stick
to
the
most
Common
,
Authentick
and
Universal
Truths
,
tending
to
Vertue
and
Godliness
;
apart
from
what
is
doubtful
and
controverted
,
and
tending
onely
to
strife
and
perplexity
;
and
by
these
to
live
our selves
,
and
examine
all
other
pretensions
whatever
;
there
being
no
part
of
Religion
but
what
hath
Vertue
and
Grace
as
its
Foundation
and
Design
:
A
way
that
would
keep
men
from
Atheism
,
under
a
sence
of
Religion
;
from
endless
controversies
,
in
the
solid
practice
of
Vertue
;
from
fatal
Divisions
,
in
peace
and
concord
.
Let
us
(
said
he
)
establish
and
fix
these
Catholique
and
Universal
Notions
,
and
they
will
settle
our
Souls
,
and
not
hinder
us
to
believe
whatsoever
is
faithfully
taught
by
the
Church
,
or
submit
to
what
is
authoritatively
enjoyned
by
the
State
.
So
that
whether
the
Eastern
,
Western
,
Northern
or
Southern
Teachers
,
&c.
and
particularly
whether
my
Lord
of
Rochester
,
or
Luther
,
&c.
be
in
the
Right
,
we
Laicks
may
so
build
upon
those
Catholick
and
infa●lible
Grounds
of
Religion
,
as
whatsoever
superstructures
of
Faith
be
raised
,
these
Foundations
may
support
them
.
This
Discourse
opened
a
Door
to
the
Refor●ation
intended
,
and
shut
out
all
those
prejudi●es
it
might
lie
under
from
the
State
,
and
Religion
〈…〉
f
Fore-fathers
,
&c.
Hereupon
Sir
William
is
invited
to
Court
;
and
then
the
air
and
softness
of
that
place
suited
not
his
more
severe
and
stirring
Temper
,
he
is
promoted
to●
Authority
first
by
Land
,
and
then
by
Sea
;
where●
none
was
more
watchful
in
the
Wars
between
Us
and
France
,
none
so
active
in
those
between
Us
and
Scotland
:
With
thirty
six
Ships
he
gave
Law
to
the
narrow
Seas
,
as
Poynz
with
forty
more
did
to
the
Main
:
There
was
not
a
serviceable
man
belonging
to
him
,
but
he
knew
by
name
;
not
a
Week
but
he
paid
his
Navy
;
not
a
Prize
but
his
Souldiers
share●
in
as
well
as
himself
:
It
being
his
Rule
,
That
now
fought
well
,
but
those
that
did
it
for
a
fortune
.
While
he
watched
the
Coast
of
France
,
he
discovered
twelve
French
Ships
,
in
which
the
Archbishop
of
Glasco
,
and
divers
others
of
Quality
were
,
(
who
〈…〉
the
Duke
of
Albany
had
sent
before
him
into
Scotland
;
)
these
he
chased
to
a
shipwrack
:
and
leaving
a
Squadron
to
shut
up
the
French
Heaven●
went
along
the
French
Coasts
,
landing
in
dive●
places
,
wasting
the
Countrey
,
till
at
last
he
came
〈◊〉
Treport
,
a
Town
strongly
situated
,
and
garison●
with
three
thousand
men
,
which
yet
he
took
;
an●
finding
it
not
his
Interest
to
dwell
there
,
pill●ged
and
burned
it
,
going
off
with
Success
an●
Glory
:
Insomuch
that
King
Henry
joyned
hi●
with
the
Bishop
of
Bath
in
the
Commission
for
th●
Treaty
at
Paris
,
where
such
Articles
were
agree●
on
touching
a
Marriage
with
the
Princess
Mary
,
an●
the
joynt
Embassie
to
the
Emperour
,
as
spake
S
〈…〉
William
as
well
seen
in
the
state
of
Europe
,
as
any
particular
Person
in
the
seven
Kingdoms
of
it
whereof
one
was
,
That
they
should
unite
by
all
〈◊〉
Ties
of
Alliance
,
Friendship
and
Interest
,
against
the
growing
Power
of
Austria
,
so
far
as
that
there
should
be
no
League
,
Correspondence
,
War
or
Peace
,
wherein
they
both
should
not
be
concerned
.
From
his
forreign
Negotiations
he
returns
to
his
home-Services
:
and
the
next
view
we
have
of
him
●s
in
the
Parliament
,
bringing
up
with
Sir
Anthony
Fitz-Herbert
,
a
Bill
against
the
Cardinal
:
1.
For
encroaching
upon
his
Soveraigns
power
by
his
Legantine
Authority
.
2.
For
treating
between
the
Pope
and
the
King
of
France
,
without
his
Masters
privity
and
consent
;
as
likewise
between
Himself
and
the
Duke
of
Fer●ara
.
3.
For
joyning
Himself
with
his
Majesty
;
saying
,
The
King
and
I.
4.
For
swearing
his
Houshold-servants
onely
to
himself
.
5.
For
speaking
with
the
King
,
when
infected
with
the
pox
,
pretending
it
was
onely
an
Impost●ume
.
6.
For
giving
by
prevention
divers
Benefices
away
,
●s
Legate
.
7.
For
receiving
Embassadors
before
they
came
to
the
King
:
As
also
for
opening
all
the
Kings
Letters
,
and
taking
an
account
of
all
Espials
,
concealing
what
he
pleased
.
8.
For
carrying
things
with
an
high
hand
in
the
Privy
Council
.
9.
For
transporting
Grain
,
and
sending
advertisements
of
the
Kings
Affairs
abroad
.
10.
For
taxing
or
alienating
Religious
mens
lands
,
to
the
great
decay
of
hospitality
and
charity
.
11.
For
controuling
the
Nobility
,
and
engrossing
all
Causes
in
his
Jurisdiction
.
12.
For
taking
all
Ordinarie
Jurisdiction
from
them
by
prevention
,
and
seizing
their
Estates
,
as
he
did
all
other
Ecclesiastical
persons
upon
their
death
.
13.
For
perswading
the
Pope
by
indirect
practices
to
suppress
Monasteries
.
14.
For
passing
judgements
without
hearing
,
and
reversing
such

as
had
duely
passed
.
15.
For
suspending
the
Popes
pardons
until
he
was
fee'd
.
16.
For
turning
out
his
old

.
17.
For
his
general
encroachments
upon
the
Rights
of
Religious
Houses
,
and
the
encroachments
of
Courts
of
Justice
.
18.
For
saying
to
the
Pope
,
in
order
to
the
obtaining
of
a
Legantine
power
,
to
the
indelible
shame
of
the
Church
of
England
,
That
the
Clergy
of
England
were
given
in
reprobum
sensum
.
19.
For
embezling
the
Goods
of
the
most
wealthy
Prelates
that
died
in
his

.
20.
For

at

.
21.
For

22.
For
keeping
as
great
state

Court
,
and

great

in
the
Country
for
purveyance
,
&c.
as
the
King
.
23.
For
forbidding
petitions
and
purveyances
within
his
Jurisdictions
.
24.
For

the
Kings
Crown
,
in
the
Coyn
at
York
.
27.
For
Hindering
the
due
course
intended
by
visiting
the
Vniversities
to
suppress
heresies
.
28.
For
disposing
of
mens
Estates
and
Proprieties
at
his
pleasure
.
This
Bill
was
aggravated
most
effectually
,
by
three
most
pinching
considerations
:
Viz.
That
the
Kings
Honour
was
by
him
diminished
:
That
the
state
of
the
Realm
was
by
him
decayed
and
discontented
:
That
the
course
of
Justice
was
by
him
obstructed
.
A
great
Undertaking
,
this
!
To
bring
down
this
lofty
Prelate
!
(
whom
his
Master
created
the
[
](A48796-e22320-b)*
*
When
Cardinal
.
Kings
Fellow
,
and
his
own
pride
made
his
Superiour
)
But
as
Wise
as
Great
,
if
we
regard
the
five
Politick
circumstances
:
1.
The
Queen
was
engaged
.
2.
The
People
were
oppressed
.
3.
The
King
was
needy
and
covetous
.
4.
The
Nobility
were
kept
under
.
5.
The
Clergy
were
harrassed
:
And
all
by
this
proud
man
:
And
at
that
juncture
is
he
convened
before
the
Parliament
,
and
charged
home
by
this
excellent
Knight
,
who
never
left
him
till
he
was
humbled
,
as
Justice
Fitz-Herbert
did
not
his
servants
,
until
they
were
reformed
.
Neither
did
the
Pope
escape
him
abroad
,
better
then
the
Cardinal
at
home
:
For
his
next
action
we
finde
is
a
Declaration
drawn
by
him
,
Jo.
Fitz-Warren
,
Tho.
Audley
and
Others
,
to
Pope
Clement
the
Seventh
,
expostulating
his
Delays
,
and
conjuring
his
Dispatch
in
the
Business
of
the
Kings
Marriage
.
Very
serviceable
he
was
to
his
Master
in
time
of
Peace
,
more
in
time
of
War
;
and
particularly
at
the
Insurrection
1536.
where
he
cut
off
the
Rebels
Passes
,
distressed
their
Arms
,
and
when
they
refused
〈◊〉
Treaty
but
upon
condition
that
Ashe
their
Leader
was
pledged
,
advised
an
engagement
with
them
out
of
hand
;
saying
,
No
English
man
should
be
undervalued
so
far
as
to
be
an
Hostage
for
a
Villain
:
and
adding
further
(
so
good
was
his
Intelligence
)
That
if
they
were
not
defeated
speedily
,
the
Scots
and
Germans
would
discover
that
they
had
but
too
much
hand●
in
this
plot
.
For
which
his
services
,
his
Master
raised
him
to
the
Admiralship
of
England
,
and
the
Earldom
of
Southampton
;
in
which
Quality
he
was
one
of
the
three
Noblemen
that
managed
the
Business
of
Divorce
between
the
King
and
Anne
of
Cleve
,
with
that
applanse
that
made
him
Lord
Privy-Seal
,
Nov.
14.
Anno
1541.
and
the
grand
Examinant
of
the
particulars
in
the
Lady
Katharin
Howard's
Case
,
matter
of
great
trust
and
secrecy
;
which
he
performed
with
a
searching
and
deep
Judgement
,
beyond
that
Ladies
fear
,
and
the
Kings
expectation
;
as
appears
from
the
exact
Account
given
under
Sir
Tho.
Audley
and
his
own
hands
,
touching
that
matter
.
Having
provided
for
the
Kings
Safety
at
Home
he
is
One
of
Four
that
treat
for
his
Interest
Abroad
I
mean
upon
the
Borders
of
Scotland
;
where
our
excellent
Persons
dexterity
was
observed
,
in
gaining
that
time
by
various
Proposals
for
Peace
,
tha●
served
his
Master
to
provide
against
the
War
;
in
the
beginning
whereof
,
the
brave
Lord
died
〈◊〉
York
:
so
much
esteemed
,
that
for
the
Honour
of
his
Memory
his
Standard
was
born
in
the
Fore-ward
all
this
Expedition
.
A
Person
in
whom
Prudence
was
even
with
Activity
,
Resolution
with
Prudence
〈◊〉
Success
with
Resolution
,
Moderation
with
Success

All.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Thomas
Darcy
.
SIr
Thomas
Darcy
was
one
of
King
Henry
the
Eighth's
first
Counsellours
,
so
advanced
(
as
most
of
his
Fellows
)
not
for
Affection
,
but
Interest
;
owing
his
Promotion
to
his
own
sufficiency
,
rather
then
his
Masters
favour
.
His
Counsel
was
weighty
at
Home
,
his
Assistance
necessary
Abroad
;
where
in
behalf
of
Pope
Julius
the
second
and
the
Emperour
,
he
did
more
with
1500
Archers
in
a
year
for
the
ballancing
of
Europe
,
then
had
been
done
before
in
an
Age.
No
Employment
so
dangerous
at
that
time
as
that
of
the
Warden
of
the
West
Marches
of
Scotland
,
none
so
able
for
that
Employment
as
my
Lord
,
who
was
equally
knowing
and
stout
,
and
at
once
most
feared
,
and
most
loved
.
The
Earl
of
Shrewsbury
made
some
Inroads
into
Scotland
,
the
Lord
Darcy
seconds
him
:
But
being
surprized
by
the
Duke
of
Albany's
preparations
,
he
had
as
much
Wit
to
make
Peace
,
as
he
had
Resolution
to
carry
on
the
War
.
None
knew
better
when
to
yeild
,
none
better
when
to
conquer
;
so
great
a
command
had
he
over
himself
!
so
great
over
the
Enemy
,
that
he
brought
them
to
request
his
Wish
,
and
offer
what
was
his
Interest
!
With
the
Duke
of
Surrey's
assistance
by
Land
,
and
Fitz-Williams
his
by
Sea
,
he
reduced
that
Nation
to
a
good
Inteligence
with
Us
that
year
,
and
a
Peace
the
next
;
a
Peace
(
as
he
observed
)
that
would
be
no
longer
kept
,
then
we
had
a
Sword
in
our
Hands
,
and
an
Army
on
their
Borders
:
For
Conscience
guided
other
parts
of
the
World
,
(
he
said
)
and
Fear
Scotland
:
Whence
he
invaded
them
duely
once
a
year
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Thomas
Howard
.
SIr
Edward's
Brother
in
Worth
,
as
well
as
Blood
:
His
Fathers
Interest
set
him
up
,
and
his
own
Industry
kept
him
so
:
All
the
Children
were
brought
up
for
Sea-Services
,
this
Gentleman
for
Sea-Commands
.
He
immediately
succeeds
his
younger
Brother
in
the
Admiralty
;
and
wisely
considering
the
advantage
of
the
French
Gallies
in
a
calm
,
the
number
of
their
ships
,
the
danger
of
their
windes
for
us
,
if
they
blew
Southwest
,
desired
of
the
King
so
many
Souldiers
a●
might
man
the
ships
,
and
make
good
the
landing
,
wherewith
he
scoured
the
seas
,
and
secured
the
Kings
passage
,
with
so
much
Honour
,
that
he
was
able
to
assist
his
Father
at
Court
,
as
much
as
Wel
〈…〉
did
Fox
:
his
Gallantry
being
no
less
pleasing
to
his
Master
,
then
the
other
young
Favourites
Compliance
;
and
both
these
young
men
had
no
less
Art
to
govern
this
Prince
,
then
he
had
to
govern
his
Kingdom
:
These
Arts
,
which
all
other
Favourites
use
,
being
Hopes
and
Fears
,
which
as
Doors
and
Passages
to
the
heart
,
are
so
guarded
by
their
vigilancy
,
that
they
can
both
let
themselves
in
,
and
keep
all
others
out
:
the
two
Ends
upon
which
the
Thread
of
Government
depends
:
His
Father
is
made
Duke
of
Norfolk
,
and
he
Earl
of
Surrey
;
both
are
an
eye-sore
to
the
Cardinal
,
whose
Fortune
had
no
Superior
in
the
Kings
Favour
,
whose
Ambition
would
endure
no
Equal
.
The
Old
Mans
years
and
cares
are
fitted
with
a
Retirement
in
the
Country
;
the
Young
Mans
ambition
and
activity
,
with
a
Government
in
Ireland
,
which
he
reduced
as
speedily
to
obedience
(
notwithstanding
Desmond's
Rebellion
)
as
he
had
to
civility
,
had
it
not
been
for
Wolsey's
Underminings
,
who
endured
no
publick
service
but
what
he
did
himself
;
and
would
chuse
rather
that
the
Kingdom
should
perish
by
a
Traytor
,
then
be
saved
by
a
Nobleman
.
Beloved
he
was
by
that
Countrey
(
where
he
left
a
Peace
and
a
Parliament
,
Anno
1521.
)
so
that
they
were
loth
to
part
with
him
:
Wanted
he
was
by
the
King
,
to
scour
the
narrow
seas
for
the
French
War
;
so
that
he
must
have
him
.
The
King
had
made
him
formerly
His
Admiral
,
the
Emperour
upon
his
return
from
England
makes
him
his
;
and
with
both
their
Commissions
he
lands
in
Normandy
,
wastes
the
adjacent
Countries
,
(
sparing
onely
Religious
Houses
)
takes
and
sacks
Morlais
in
Bretaign
(
which
he
entered
under
the
smoak
)
burns
their
ships
,
commands
the
sea
,
and
sets
the
Emperour
safe
in
Spain
;
advising
his
Majesty
from
thence
to
make
a
general
Muster
of
his
Subjects
for
his
own
satisfaction
and
others
terrour
,
March
27
,
1522.
The
troubles
in
Scotland
required
an
able
Head
and
a
stout
Heart
,
two
Endowments
that
no
man
was
more
Master
of
then
the
Earl
of
Surrey
,
now
Duke
of
Norfolk
(
upon
his
beloved
Fathers
decease
)
whose
Prudence
toyled
the
Scots
to
deliver
up
their
King
,
as
his
Prowess
frighted
them
to
yeild
up
themselves
,
as
they
did
in
that
most
exquisite
Treaty
,
where
the
Earl
of
Worcester
beat
the
Bush
,
saith
my
noble
Author
,
and
our
Duke
catched
the
Hare
.
A
while
after
he
is
Earl
Marshal
,
and
Embassador
to
King
Francis
about
those
two
grand
points
:
-
1.
That
the
French
King
should
set
up
a
Patriarch
:
-
2.
That
he
should
stop
up
all
the
payments
made
to
Rome
,
with
fair
promises
of
that
supply
of
men
and
money
he
then
most
wanted
.
When
the
Pope
stuck
to
Queen
Katharine
,
three
things
he
advised
the
King
to
:
1.
To
teach
the
people
that
a
general
Council
was
above
the
Pope
,
and
proclaim
that
he
did
appeal
to
it
.
2.
To
fix
upon
every
Church-Door
the
Dowagers
Appeal
to
Rome
,
and
the
late
Statute
against
it
.
3.
To
consederate
with
the
Kings
of
Hungary
and
Poland
,
the
Estates
of
the
Empire
and
the
Hanse
Towns
.
Three
things
that
would
settle
his
People
at
home
,
and
strengthen
his
Interest
abroad
:
To
which
he
added
the
Statute
of
Succession
,
the
Oath
of
Supremacy
,
sir
William
Howard's
Embassy
to
the
Scotch
King
,
the
suppression
of
Religious
Houses
,
the
War
in
Ireland
under
sir
William
Sheffington
,
and
a
thorow
search
into
the
bottom
of
the
Rebellion
in
the
North
,
by
a
connivance
and
delay
.
But
all
his
services
could
not
quit
him
from
suspicion
,
nor
his
popularity
from
envy
:
The
Lord
Darcy
accuseth
him
to
excuse
himself
,
and
Cromwel
seconds
him
to
secure
himself
:
and
(
as
unhappinesses
follow
one
another
in
the
same
order
as
one
wave
floweth
after
another
)
his
Nieces
miscarriages
threatned
his
fall
;
but
that
the
honest
man
(
as
appears
from
a
Letter
the
whole
Council
sent
to
sir
William
Paget
then
resident
in
France
)
was
the
first
that
declared
against
her
,
and
put
the
King
upon
the
most
safe
and
honourable
ways
of
trying
her
;
which
satisfied
his
Majesty
so
far
,
that
he
employed
him
as
chief
in
the
Treaty
upon
the
Borders
,
and
General
in
the
War
when
that
Treaty
failed
;
Sir
Anthony
Brown
,
upon
his
Recommendation
,
being
added
to
the
Commissioners
in
Scotland
,
and
to
the
Privy-Council
in
England
,
as
Master
of
the
Kings
Horse
,
as
Sir
John
Gages
was
Comptroller
of
his
House
.
Several
Persons
came
to
London
for
a
Reward
of
their
Scotch
services
;
this
Duke
gave
the
King
a
wary
and
grave
counsel
,
to
bestow
upon
them
as
much
Land
as
they
could
win
in
Scotland
.
But
Greatness
is
fatal
:
The
King
is
old
and
testy
,
the
Government
disordered
and
irregular
,
the
Duke
too
stifly
honest
to
comply
,
the
Council
envy
him
;
and
in
this
Juncture
his
Wives
passion
discovereth
his
Minions
,
and
they
,
to
save
themselves
,
his
privacies
and
secrets
:
His
son
,
a
man
of
a
deep
understanding
,
of
a
sharp
wit
and
great
valour
,
bred
up
with
Henry-Fitzroy
at
Windsor
,
and
afterwards
at
Paris
,
was
beheaded
before
his
face
.
His
Favourite
Mrs.
Holland
deposed
,
That
he
said
many
looked
for
the
Protectorship
(
when
the
King
,
who
lived
and
moved
by
Engines
and
Art
,
rather
then
by
Nature
,
should
die
)
but
he
would
carry
it
:
That
the
King
did
not
love
him
because
he
was
loved
by
his
Country
;
but
he
would
follow
his
Fathers
Lesson
,
which
was
,
That
the
less
others
set
by
him
,
the
more
he
would
set
by
himself
:
That
he
had
a
Daughter
for
the
King
as
well
as
others
,
&c.
His
Estate
was
great
,
his
power
greater
;
the
Kings
occasions
had
swallowed
up
the
one
,
and
his
Enemies
ambition
the
other
,
notwithstanding
his
humble
submission
before
the
Council
,
and
his
many
services
to
the
King
;
had
not
his
Majesties
death
saved
his
Life
.
As
the
deepest
Hate
is
that
which
springs
from
violent
Love
,
so
the
greatest
Discourtesies
oft
arise
from
the
largest
Favours
.
It
is
indiscreet
to
oppress
any
,
dangerous
a
Prince
with
Kindenesses
;
which
being
Fetters
,
are
Treason
on
that
Person
:
But
Suspicion
!
Ah
sad
Suspicion
!
The
Companion
of
the
Weak
or
Guilty
!
The
Cloud
of
the
Minde
!
The
Forfeiture
of
Friends
!
The
check
of
Business
!
Thou
that
disposest
Kings
to
Tyranny
!
Husbands
to
Jealousie
!
Wise
men
to
Irresolution
and
Melancholy
!
Trust
,
and
you
need
never
suspect
:
But
Policy
and
Friendship
are
incompatible
,
I
see
;
where
Norfolk
begs
that
Life
from
the
Block
at
last
,
which
he
had
ventured
two
and
thirty
times
for
his
Soveraign
.
Who
knows
the
Cares
that
go
to
Bed
with
Statesmen
!
Enemies
Abroad
,
Treacheries
at
Home
,
Emulations
of
Neighbours
,
Dissatisfaction
of
Friends
;
Jealousies
of
most
,
Fear
of
all
:
unwelcome
Inventions
to
palliate
unjust
Courses
:
fears
of
Miscarriage
and
Disgrace
;
with
Projects
of
Honour
and
Plausibility
,
with
restless
thoughts
how
to
discover
,
prevent
,
conceal
,
accommodate
the
Adversaries
,
or
his
own
Affairs
.
Let
us
live
,
and
love
,
and
say
,
God
help
poor
Kings
!
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Edward
Stanley
.
THe
Stanley's
service
to
Henry
the
seventh
,
was
a
sufficient
pledge
of
their
faithfulness
to
Henry
the
eighth
.
Honour
floated
in
Sir
Edward's
blood
,
and
Valour
danced
in
his
spirits
:
His
stirring
childhood
brought
him
to
Henry
the
eighth's
company
,
and
his
active
manhood
to
his
service
.
The
Camp
was
his
School
,
and
his
Learning
was
a
Pike
and
Sword
;
therefore
his
Masters
Greeting
to
him
was
when
they
met
,
Hob
,
my
Souldier
!
In
many
places
did
he
shew
himself
,
but
no
where
more
then
at
Flodden
,
where
his
Archers
fetched
down
the
Scots
from
their
fastness
,
and
relieved
the
English
from
their
distress
;
the
Earl
of
Surrey
beginning
the
Conquest
,
and
Sir
Edward
crowning
it
:
for
which
the
King
immediately
set
him
high
in
his
favour
,
and
not
long
after
,
as
high
in
the
world
,
being
made
Baron
Stanley
,
and
Lord
Mounteagle
.
Twice
did
he
and
Sir
John
Wallop
land
with
onely
800
men
in
the
heart
of
France
,
and
four
times
did
he
and
Sir
Tho.
Lovell
save
Callis
;
the
first
time
,
by
intelligence
;
the
second
,
by
a
stratagem
;
the
third
,
by
valour
and
resolution
;
and
the
fourth
,
by
hardship
,
patience
and
industry
.
In
the
dangerous
insurrection
by
Ashe
and
Captain
Cobler
,
his
Zeal
for
the
States
welfare
was
above
scruples
,
and
his
Army
was
with
him
before
his
Commission
:
for
which
dangerous
piece
of
Loyalty
,
he
asked
pardon
,
and
received
thanks
.
Two
things
he
did
towards
the
discomfiture
of
the
Rebels
,
(
whose
skill
in
Arms
exceeded
his
Followers
,
as
much
as
his
policy
did
their
Leaders
)
first
,
he
cut
off
their
provisions
,
and
then
secondly
,
sowed
sedition
among
them
,
whilst
his
Majesty
gained
time
by
pretended
Treaties
to
be
even
with
them
,
drawing
off
the
most
eminent
of
the
factions

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Thomas
Bolen
.
THe
City
enriched
this
Family
,
their
Parts
raised
them
:
His
Activity
was
as
taking
with
King
Henry
,
as
his
Daughters
Beauty
.
He
was
the
Picklock
of
Princes
:
upon
his
word
onely
would
the
King
model
his
Designes
,
and
upon
his
alter
them
.
He
discovered
Ferdinand's
underhand-treaty
with
Lewis
,
and
his
Designe
upon
Navarre
;
and
writ
to
his
Master
to
press
the
ambiguous
man
to
a
conclusion
,
and
to
send
over
some
treasure
:
for
,
said
he
,
the
whole
World
is
now
to
be
sold
;
adding
,
the
necessity
of
a
peace
,
or
at
least
a
truce
with
Scotland
.
Sir
Tho.
Bolen
was
against
the
Kings
going
to
France
in
person
before
he
had
some
more
issue
,
or
[
](A48796-e23870-b)*
*
One
of
the
house
of
York
.
Edmund
de
la
Pool
were
dispatched
out
of
the
way
.
Sir
Tho.
Howard
was
for
it
,
it
being
dangerous
to
entrust
so
Noble
an
Army
,
or
so
renowned
an
Action
with
any
subject
,
especially
when
Maximilian
the
Emperour
offered
to
serve
under
his
Majesty
as
Lieutenant
,
and
the
Pope
to
attend
him
as
Chaplain
.
There
is
nothing
more
remarkable
of
Sir
Thomas
Bolen
,
then
,
1.
The
Education
of
his
Children
;
his
eldest
son
being
bred
at
the
Emperours
Court
,
his
youngest
with
the
Pope
at
Rome
,
and
his
Daughter
with
Q.
Mary
in
France
.
2.
His
Negotiation
with
the
Lord
St.
Johns
in
Germany
,
where
he
over-reached
the
Emperour
no
less
then
the
Earl
of
Worcester
did
the
French
King
:
so
cunningly
binding
him
,
that
he
understood
nothing
of
our
Affairs
;
and
yet
so
narrowly
sifting
him
,
that
we
knew
all
his
Intrigues
.
Visible
was
all
the
world
to
our
State
then
,
and
invisible
our
State
to
all
the
world
.
From
Germany
he
is
sent
with
Richard
Sampson
,
D.
H.
to
Spain
,
to
set
Charles
as
forward
against
the
French
,
as
he
had
done
Maximilian
.
His
service
advanced
him
to
the
honour
of
a
Barony
and
a
[
](A48796-e24070-b)*
*
He
is
made
Viscount
Rochford
.
Viscountship
,
and
the
profit
of
the
Treasureship
of
the
Houshold
;
and
his
success
upon
the
Malecontent
Duke
of
Bourbon
by
Sir
Jo.
Russel
,
who
treated
with
him
in
Disguise
,
set
him
as
high
in
the
Kings
favour
,
as
his
Wife
was
;
a
vertuous
Lady
,
that
was
the
Kings
Friend
,
but
not
his
Mistress
;
his
delight
,
and
not
his
sin
.
In
Spain
so
earnestly
did
our
Sir
Thomas
mediate
for
the
delivering
up
of
the
French
Hostages
,
that
(
as
Sandoval
saith
)
Charles
protested
to
him
,
that
for
his
sake
onely
he
would
relinquish
his
Demand
for
the
restitution
of
Burgundy
,
in
which
the
difficulty
of
the
peace
consisted
:
adding
further
,
That
for
the
same
reason
he
would
accept
as
well
for
Francis
his
two
sons
ransome
,
as
his
charge
,
what
was
freely
offered
,
viz.
2000000
Crowns
:
and
he
with
Sir
Robert
Poyntz
make
up
that
treaty
,
the
great
Arbitrators
of
Europe
!
at
whose
disposal
Kings
set
their
Crowns
,
and
Kingdomes
their
Peace
;
in
whose
breast
fate
the
fate
of
Christendome
,
by
their
voices
to
stand
or
fall
.
As
faithful
is
he
to
the
King
at
home
,
though
to
his
own
prejudice
,
as
he
is
serviceable
abroad
,
to
his
honour
:
for
when
the
people
talked
oddly
out
of
envy
to
his
Daughter
,
(
now
visibly
in
favour
)
and
pity
to
Queen
Katharine
,
Sir
Thomas
adviseth
his
Majesty
to
forbid
his
Daughter
the
Court
,
and
declare
that
those
proceedings
were
more
to
satisfie
his
Conscience
,
and
secure
Succession
,
then
to
gratifie
any
other
more
private
respect
:
so
far
to
his
Daughters
discontent
,
that
she
would
not
come
near
the
King
until
her
Father
was
commanded
(
not
without
threats
)
to
bring
her
thither
;
who
by
representing
the
common
danger
to
them
both
,
obtained
at
length
(
saith
my
Lord
Herbert
)
though
not
without
much
difficulty
,
the
consent
of
his
unwilling
Daughter
to
return
:
where
yet
she
kept
that
distance
,
that
the
King
might
easily
perceive
how
sensible
she
was
of
her
late
dismission
.
Sir
Thomas
would
have
married
her
to
the
Lord
Percy
,
but
the
King
and
Cardinal
forbad
it
;
deterring
old
Northumberland
from
it
,
and
he
his
son
.
Many
Love-Letters
between
King
Henry
and
Anne
Bolen
are
sent
to
Rome
:
one
Letter
between
the
Cardinal
and
his
Confederates
is
fetched
thence
by
Sir
Thomas
his
Dexterity
;
who
advised
Sir
Francis
Bryan
,
then
Resident
,
to
get
in
with
the
Popes
Closet-keepers
Courtezan
,
and
shew
her
the
Cardinals
hand
,
by
which
she
might
finde
out
and
copy
his
Expresses
;
as
she
did
to
his
ruine
,
and
our
Kings
great
satisfaction
.
To
which
Letter
is
annexed
a
Declaration
under
his
hand
,
and
the
Lords
Darcy
,
Mountjoy
,
Dorset
and
Norfolk
,
of
44
Articles
against
the
great
Cardinal
.
His
hand
being
now
in
,
he
must
through
:
He
adviseth
the
King
to
consult
the
Universities
of
Christendome
:
He
goeth
in
person
when
made
Earl
of
Wiltshire
to
the
Pope
,
and
contrives
that
a
Declaration
of
the
whole
Kingdome
in
Parliament
should
follow
him
:
which
so
amused
his
Holiness
with
our
Earls
stratagems
,
that
he
was
asleep
as
it
were
until
the
state
of
England
was
quite
altered
.
To
this
he
addes
,
the
peace
with
France
,
and
the
interview
with
King
Francis
,
where
his
Daughter
is
married
privately
,
and
her
Brother
made
Viscount
Rochford
.
Convening
a
Parliament
to
his
mind
at
Black-fryers
,
and
advancing
an
Arch-bishop
to
his
purpose
in
Canterbury
,
he
is
secure
of
the
Church
and
of
the
Kingdom
;
whereof
the
first
hallowed
the
action
,
and
the
second
confirmed
it
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Edward
Howard
.
HE
set
out
with
his
Fathers
Reputation
,
and
came
home
with
his
own
:
Britain
feels
his
Arm
to
this
day
,
and
the
French
his
success
.
Desperate
were
his
Undertakings
,
yet
happy
;
rash
his
Engagements
,
yet
honourable
:
it
being
his
Maxime
,
That
never
did
Sea-man
good
,
that
was
not
resolute
to
a
degree
of
madness
.
The
French
Fleet
he
pursueth
to
the
Haven
under
their
own
Forts
closely
.
Sir
Edward
considering
the
order
wherein
the
French
lay
,
thought
fit
to
advertise
his
King
and
Master
thereof
;
advising
him
withal
,
(
saith
my
Author
)
to
come
in
person
,
and
have
the
glory
of
this
Action
:
but
the
Kings
Council
taking
this
Message
into
consideration
,
and
conceiving
that
it
was
not
altogether
fear
,
(
as
was
thought
)
but
stratagem
and
cunning
that
made
the
French
thus
attend
their
advantage
,
thought
the
King
was
not
invited
so
much
to
the
honour
,
as
to
the
danger
of
this
Action
;
therefore
they
write
sharply
to
him
again
,
commanding
him
to
do
his
duty
:
whereof
that
brave
person
was
so
sensible
,
that
he
landed
1500
men
in
the
sight
of
10000
,
and
wasted
the
Country
,
until
being
too
confident
,
he
fell
a
while
after
into
his
enemies
hands
;
the
Lord
Ferrers
,
Sir
Thomas
Cheyney
,
Sir
Richard
Cornwal
,
and
Sir
John
Wallop
looking
on
,
but
not
able
to
relieve
him
.
Four
Reasons
he
would
usually
give
against
a
War
with
the
Low-Countries
:
1.
The
decay
of
Trade
,
2.
The
diminution
of
Customes
:
3.
The
strengthening
of
France
:
4.
The
loss
of
their
industry
and
inventions
,
and
so
of
the
improvement
of
our
Commodities
and
Manufactures
.
In
the
youth
of
this
State
,
as
of
all
others
,
Arms
did
flourish
〈…〉
in
the
Middle-age
of
it
,
Learning
;
and
in
the
Declining
,
(
as
Covetousness
and
Thrift
attend
Old
Age
)
Mechanick
Arts
and
Merchandize
:
and
this
Gentleman
was
made
for
each
part
,
being
not
so
much
a
Souldier
as
a
Scholar
,
not
so
much
a
Scholar
as
a
Merchant
But
a
private
spirit
is
most
unfortunate
;
and
(
as
my
Oracle
assures
me
)
whereof
men
of
that
temper
all
their
time
sacrifice
to
themselves
,
they
become
in
the
end
themselves
sacrifices
unfortune
,
whose
wings
they
thought
by
their
wisdome
to
have
pinioned
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Thomas
Howard
Earl
of
Surrey
.
SIr
Thomas
Howard
was
this
Kings
prime
Counsellour
;
a
brave
and
an
understanding
man
:
who
was
obliged
to
be
faithful
to
his
Master
,
because
an
Enemy
to
Winchester
:
(
emulation
among
Favourites
is
the
security
of
Princes
.
)
Four
motives
he
offered
for
a
Marriage
with
the
Princess
Katharine
:
1.
A
League
with
Spain
,
against
the
growing
power
of
our
dangerous
Neighbour
France
.
2.
The
saving
of
much
time
and
expence
in
Marriage
,
by
her
being
here
.
3.
The
consideration
of
that
vast
sum
of
Money
that
must
be
exported
if
she
goeth
away
.
And
4.
The
great
Obligation
laid
on
the
Pope
by
that
Dispensation
,
which
would
secure
to
him
the
King
and
his
Posterity
,
not
otherwise
Legitimate
but
by
his
Authority
.
His
Estate
was
much
wasted
in
the
service
of
Henry
the
seventh
,
and
as
much
improved
by
the
treasures
of
Henry
the
eighth
,
which
amounted
in
the
beginning
of
his
Reign
to
11800000
l.
i.
e.
at
the
rate
of
money
now
adays
,
six
millions
and
an
half
;
which
he
dispensed
so
thriftily
,
that
old
Winchester
could
not
trapan
him
;
and
yet
so
nobly
,
that
young
Henry
was
pleased
with
him
.
Sir
William
Compton
set
up
the
Kings
[
](A48796-e24850-b)*
*
They
were
50
,
with
an
Archer
,
a
Demilance
and
a
Constillier
apiece
:
They
and
their
horses
being
vested
in
Cloth
of
Gold
.
Rich
Life-guards
,
(
under
Bourchier
Earl
of
Essex
as
Captain
,
and
the
valiant
Sir
Jo.
Peachy
who
kept
Calais
in
so
good
order
with
300
men
,
as
Lieutenant
)
but
this
wary
Earl
put
them
down
again
.
When
News
was
brought
that
Empson
and
Dudley
were
slain
,
it
was
this
Earls
opinion
that
his
Majesty
had
done
more
like
a
good
King
then
a
good
Master
.
When
the
narrow
Seas
(
whereof
the
Kings
of
England
have
been
very
tender
)
were
infested
,
this
old
Treasurer
and
Earl-Marshal
cleared
it
by
his
two
sons
Edward
and
Thomas
,
saying
,
The
King
of
England
should
not
be
imprisoned
in
his
Kingdome
,
while
either
he
had
an
Estate
to
set
up
a
Ship
,
or
a
son
to
command
it
.
In
three
weeks
did
he
settle
the
North
against
the
Invasions
of
James
the
fourth
,
now
inclining
to
the
French
;
and
in
a
fortnight
did
he
raise
40000
l.
to
pay
the
Army
,
now
ready
to
mutiny
:
insomuch
,
that
when
King
James
denounced
War
against
King
Henry
,
he
said
,
He
had
an
Earl
in
the
North
that
would
secure
his
Kingdome
;
as
he
did
with
much
resolution
,
prudence
and
success
at
Flodden-Field
,
where
he
saw
a
King
at
his
feet
,
and
a
whole
Kingdome
at
his
mercy
;
where
he
was
forced
to
fight
,
so
barren
the
Country
!
where
yet
he
pitched
upon
the
most
advantagious
place
and
time
;
so
great
his
Command
of
himself
,
and
so
noble
his
Conduct
!
He
sends
Rouge
Croix
to
the
Scotch
King
,
to
tell
him
,
That
though
he
saw
no
Enemy
at
Sea
,
he
hoped
to
finde
some
upon
the
Land
:
That
he
came
to
justifie
Bretons
death
,
which
it
was
as
much
below
a
King
to
revenge
,
as
it
was
below
a
Privy
Counsellour
to
have
deserved
:
That
he
expected
as
little
mercy
as
he
intended
;
his
sword
being
commissioned
to
spare
none
but
the
King
,
whom
no
hand
must
touch
.
To
this
Defiance
,
he
added
a
Caution
to
the
Herauld
,
That
he
should
bring
no
messenger
from
the
Enemy
nearer
then
two
miles
of
the
Camp
.
So
well
were
the
Scots
incamped
,
that
when
neither
Arguments
nor
Stratagems
would
draw
them
out
,
the
Earl
cuts
off
their
provision
there
;
and
under
the
covert
of
a
smoak
got
the
Earl
under
the
hill
,
and
under
another
of
mist
got
they
atop
:
The
Scots
played
the
men
,
until
Stanley
and
Darcy
did
more
then
men
:
and
the
old
mans
Reserve
concluded
the
doubtful
day
in
so
compleat
a
Conquest
,
as
brought
12000
Arms
,
16
Cannons
,
4000
Prisoners
,
and
a
Peace
to
the
English
Borders
.
Upon
which
,
the
General
retires
to
those
more
necessary
exercises
of
Justice
and
Government
,
until
his
Masters
return
:
When
all
his
Services
advanced
him
(
at
that
time
,
when
it
was
a
Maxime
of
State
,
That
Honours
are
the
Lustre
and
Security
of
Crowns
)
to
his
Fathers
Dukedom
of
Norfolk
,
as
his
Sons
Merits
promoted
him
to
his
of
the
Earldom
of
Surrey
.
The
Kings
Coffers
decay
,
and
his
Occasions
grow
:
The
old
man
retires
to
his
Country-house
,
having
enjoyed
his
Honour
Thirty
years
,
to
enjoy
Himself
Three
:
One
of
his
last
Undertakings
being
the
appeasing
of
the
London-Tumult
,
May
1.
1517.
when
he
left
this
behind
him
,
A
potent
and
wanton
City
,
is
a
shrewd
Enemy
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
William
Compton
.
HE
was
chief
Gentleman
of
the
Bedchamber
to
Henry
the
Eighth
,
and
next
to
the
chief
in
the
affections
of
the
same
Prince
:
If
his
spirit
had
been
as
even
with
his
favour
,
as
his
favour
was
with
his
Merits
,
he
had
been
the
most
useful
as
well
as
the
most
eminent
man
in
England
:
but
he
was
too
narrow
for
his
Fortune
,
and
more
attentive
to
his
private
advantage
,
then
to
the
publick
affairs
:
This
Saying
is
at
once
his
History
and
Monument
;
Kings
must
hear
all
,
but
believe
onely
one
:
for
none
can
give
a
solid
advice
but
he
that
knoweth
all
,
and
he
must
not
be
every
body
.
As
to
the
affairs
of
Europe
,
Sir
William
was
cleerly
for
the
League
against
France
,
as
an
opportunity
to
regain
our
Right
in
France
,
and
strengthen
our
Interest
in
the
Church
and
the
Empire
.
My
Lord
Darcy
was
against
it
;
because
France
was
too
hard
for
us
before
it
swallowed
up
our
a
Confederates
,
and
much
more
since
:
advising
*
Of
Bretany
and
Normandy
some
more
noble
attempts
for
our
just
Empire
upon
the
Indies
.
The
young
King
is
for
a
War
with
France
,
as
an
Engagement
upon
the
Pope
to
advance
England
above
all
other
Kingdoms
;
and
declares
himself
as
much
Sir
William's
in
opinion
as
he
was
his
in
affection
.
This
Gentleman
had
a
deep
insight
in
any
thing
he
undertook
,
because
he
had
a
great
patience
to
consider
,
an
advantageous
slowness
to
recollect
,
a
strong
memory
to
grasp
,
and
an
indifferent
temper
to
judge
:
but
when
a
matter
exceeded
his
capacity
,
or
out-reached
his
sphere
and
orb
,
he
had
either
a
peremptory
and
great
word
to
urge
it
,
or
a
sleight
to
wave
it
,
or
a
subtlety
to
perplex
it
,
(
that
his
amazed
fellow-Commissioners
should
as
little
unstand
it
)
or
a
countenance
and
gesture
to
overbear
it
.
However
,
in
general
he
was
close
and
reserved
,
(
he
had
need
go
softly
that
cannot
well
see
)
leaving
himself
without
observation
or
hold
to
be
taken
what
he
was
.
He
studied
the
Kings
nature
,
rather
then
his
business
;
and
humoured
rather
then
advised
him
.
The
referring
of
all
to
a
man
,
becomes
a
Prince
,
whose
self
is
not
himself
,
but
the
community
,
(
their
good
and
evil
being
(
as
my
Lord
Bacon
writes
)
at
the
peril
of
a
publick
fortune
)
but
not
a
subject
,
whose
private
advantage
may
be
a
publick
ruine
;
not
a
Favourite
;
whose
benefit
by
that
selfishness
may
be
narrow
as
his
own
Fortune
,
but
the
hurt
done
by
it
is
as
large
as
his
Master
,
who
must
needs
be
undone
,
when
his
servants
study
to
please
Him
,
and
to
profit
Themselves
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Henry
Marney
.
SIr
Henry
Marney
was
one
of
young
Henry's
first
Council
,
who
loved
his
Person
well
,
and
his
Prosperity
better
;
and
impartially
advised
him
for
his
good
,
and
modestly
contested
with
him
against
his
harm
;
that
Council
that
was
hand
as
well
as
head
,
and
could
perform
as
well
as
advise
:
This
was
the
searching
Judgement
that
discovered
Buonviso
the
Lucchess
his
Letters
to
the
French
King
,
betraying
our
designs
as
soon
as
thought
on
,
and
instructing
him
for
prevention
,
before
our
King
was
ready
for
the
attempt
.
Industry
and
Thrift
over-rules
Princes
:
This
Personage
had
no
time
to
transcribe
Intelligence
,
but
what
he
borrowed
from
his
sleep
;
nor
money
to
buy
it
,
but
what
he
saved
out
of
his
allowance
:
yet
he
understood
more
then
any
one
Prince
in
Europe
,
and
was
more
consulted
then
any
one
Statesman
.
His
Judgement
was
much
valued
,
his
Integrity
more
;
ever
offering
what
was
solidly
safe
,
rather
then
what
was
superficially
plausible
:
as
one
who
was
a
stranger
to
the
wisdom
of
the
latter
Age
,
(
as
Sir
Francis
Bacon
describes
it
,
which
is
rather
fine
Deliveries
and
shifts
from
Inconveniences
,
then
solid
and
grounded
courses
for
advantage
.
His
foresight
was
large
,
and
his
spirit
larger
:
he
considered
all
Circumstances
that
occurre●
to
him
;
judged
what
he
considered
,
and
spo
〈…〉
what
he
judged
with
that
resolution
as
to
his
opinion
,
that
argued
he
understood
the
matter
in
question
;
with
that
modesty
as
to
his
Superiours
,
th
〈…〉
shewed
he
understood
himself
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Edward
Poynings
.
SIr
Edward
Poynings
was
the
third
of
eighteen
Counsellours
bequeathed
by
Henry
the
V
〈…〉
to
his
Son
,
with
his
Kingdom
;
a
Pri
〈…〉
Council
wherein
there
was
not
one
Lawyer
!
an●
a
Cabal
that
never
condescended
for
advice
to
an●
below
themselves
,
or
for
performance
of
any
of
their
Decrees
to
any
besides
themselves
;
being
a
compleat
Body
of
active
and
knowing
men
in
their
own
Orb.
Who
more
prudent
then
Surrey
?
who
more
resolved
then
Poynings
?
whose
Vigilancy
made
him
Master
of
the
Cincue
Ports
,
as
his
Valour
advanced
him
General
of
the
Low-Countrey
Forces
,
whom
he
led
on
to
several
services
with
success
,
and
brought
off
(
with
the
loss
of
not
above
an
hundred
men
)
with
Honour
from
the
Lady
Margaret
,
and
Applause
from
the
whole
Countrey
.
No
less
happy
was
he
in
his
Government
of
Tournay
,
until
the
Council
at
home
(
now
grown
thin
by
the
secession
of
Warbam
,
Fox
and
Norfolk
)
had
more
need
of
him
then
Garisons
abroad
:
Vainly
is
that
spirit
penned
within
a
City
,
that
was
equal
to
a
Kingdom
.
It
is
the
unhappiness
of
other
Monarchies
,
that
they
have
not
Men
answerable
to
their
Employments
;
it
was
the
unhappiness
of
this
,
that
it
had
not
Employment
suitable
to
its
Men.
He
liv'd
and
di'd
in
Arms
:
Bulioign
saw
him
first
a
Souldier
,
and
Bulloign
saw
him
last
the
best
Camp-Master
in
all
Christendom
:
always
observing
three
things
:
1.
The
Situation
of
his
Camp
,
to
secure
his
Army
.
2.
The
Accommodation
of
it
,
to
supply
it
.
3.
His
Retreat
,
to
draw
off
:
the
Avenues
,
to
be
guarded
with
Souldiers
,
and
strengthened
with
Redoubts
;
which
he
made
Triangular
,
that
more
men
might
engage
the
Enemy
at
once
;
during
erection
whereof
,
the
Army
was
pallisado'd
in
the
Front
with
stakes
headed
with
iron
on
both
Ends
five
foot
long
,
and
stuck
slope-wise
into
the
ground
,
to
keep
off
both
Horse
and
Foot
:
the
Foot-Sentinels
were
without
the
Redoubts
,
the
Horse-Guards
beyond
them
,
at
distance
enough
to
descry
the
Enemy
,
and
not
too
much
,
to
retire
to
their
works
.
A
serious
and
plodding
brow
bespoke
this
Noble
Knights
deep
Prudence
,
and
a
smart
look
his
resolved
Valour
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Charles
Somerset
.
SIr
Charles
Somerset
,
afterward
Lord
Herbert
of
Gower
,
&c.
endeared
himself
to
King
Henry
as
much
for
his
Maxime
,
That
Reason
of
State
was
Reason
of
Law
;
as
for
his
Advice
,
That
the
King
should
never
stick
at
Law
,
in
case
of
Publique
God
;
and
yet
that
all
his
Acts
for
publique
Good
should
come
as
near
as
possible
to
the
Law
.
So
Popular
was
this
Gentleman
,
that
he
received
all
the
Petitions
against
Empson
and
Dudley
;
yet
so
loyal
,
that
he
advised
his
Master
neither
to
spare
those
Leeches
,
lest
any
should
presume
to
alienat●
his
Peoples
affections
from
him
by
Extortions
for
the
future
;
nor
yet
too
severely
to
punish
them
,
left
any
should
be
discouraged
to
serve
the
Crow●
for
the
present
:
(
for
indeed
Empson
and
Dud
〈…〉
suffered
for
that
which
others
were
advanced
for●
the
Parliament
punished
them
for
putting
their
Laws
in
execution
,
and
the
King
deserted
them
for
improving
his
Exchequer
to
a
Treasury
.
)
Two
things
this
Lord
advised
his
Master
to
,
before
he
put
the
Crown
upon
his
head
.
1.
To
redress
the
Peoples
Grievances
under
his
Father
.
2.
To
marry
not
in
France
,
where
he
had
a
Title
:
A
Kingdom
so
near
us
,
that
by
reason
of
mutual
jealousies
we
may
have
peace
with
it
sometimes
,
but
Friendship
never
.
In
the
Houshold

was
Lord
Chamberlain
,
so
discreet

Carriage

In
the
French
Expedition

Anno
1513.
he
was
General
,
so
noble
his
Conduct
!
His
Assistants
were
the
Earls
of

,
as
he
did
Tournay
,

Herbert
was
for
razing
this
place
,
as
farther
from
us
than

;
but
Wolsey
for
the
Bishopricks
sake
,
is
for
the
garisoning
of
it
,
as
a
Trophy
.
The
King
recollecting
his
former
occasions
,
Febr.
3.
1514.
thought
he
could
not
do
a
more
just
or
a
more
prudent
Act
,
then
recompence
his
Noble
Servants
(
but
the
cheapest
way
,
I
mean
that
of
Honour
)
as
he
did
old
Somerset
with
the
Earldom
of
Worcester
.
With
this
Honour
at
home
,
is
joyned
another
abroad
,
viz.
That
of
Embassie
to
Maximilian
,
where
he
reached
that
Germans
depths
,
and
clearly
demonstrated
that
those
fond
and
impossible
Offers
of
the
Empire
,
were
but
Artifices
rather
then
Kindnesses
;
to
drain
the
Kings
Treasure
,
rather
than
enlarge
his
Dominions
:
Advising
him
to
raise
a
Citadel
at
Tournay
,
and
an
Army
in
Normandy
:
He
finished
the
Espousals
between
the
Princess
Mary
and
the
Dolphin
;
and
delivered
Tournay
,
by
the
same
token
that
he
would
not
let
the
Mareschal
de
Chastilion
to
enter
with
Banner
displayed
,
but
rolled
up
,
it
being
(
as
he
said
,
who
when
Lord
Herbert
was
at
the
taking
of
it
)
voluntarily
yeilded
up
,
and
not
gotten
by
Conquest
:
and
then
bestowed
himself
with
Sir
Richard
Wingfield
for
the
great
enterview
between
King
Francis
and
King
Henry
;
an
interview
I
know
not
whether
more
solemn
or
more
dangerous
:
Kings
cannot
meet
without
great
state
,
and
they
seldom
part
without
much
envy
;
who
never
are
further
asunder
,
then
when
they
meet
.
His
most
eminent
Action
here
,
was
the
Device
of
that
Motto
,
Cui
adhaereo
praeest
;
a
Motto
that
speaks
the
Honour
of
England
,
and
the
Interest
of
Europe
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Thomas
Grey
Marquess
of
Dorset
.
THe
Kings
Wars
called
for
Souldiers
,
and
his
Peace
for
Statesmen
;
and
here
is
a
Person
ex
utroque
magnus
:
When
the
whole
design
for
the
Invasion
of
France
was
ripened
,
this
Marquess
is
made
General
,
and
attended
by
the
Lord
Thomas
Howard
,
the
Lords
Brook
,
Willoughby
and
Ferrers
,
with
divers
Knights
,
Gentlemen
,
and
others
,
to
the
number
of
ten
thousand
men
,
armed
not
onely
with
Bows
but
Halberts
:
He
distresseth
Navar
to
a
submission
to
his
Master
;
forceth
his
way
to
Bayon
,
and
with
Sir
John
Styles
assistance
,
kept
up
the
English
Honour
above
that
of
France
and
the
Empire
,
keeping
close
to
his
Commission
,
and
not
stirring
a
foot
without
express
Orders
from
Ireland
:
although
his
presence
countenanced
some
actions
his
hands
could
not
perform
.
Three
things
he
was
very
careful
of
:
-
1.
Of
Good
pay
,
lest
his
Souldiers
mutined
.
-
2.
Of
Good
Diet
and
Quarters
,
lest
they
failed
.
-
3.
Of
Order
,
Discipline
and
Temperance
,
especially
in
strange
Climates
,
lest
they
should
be
distempered
.
Two
things
he
was
unsuccessful
for
:
-
1.
The
narrowness
of
his
Commission
.
-
2.
The
reach
of
Ferdinand
,
who
designed
the
conquest
of
Navar
,
rather
than
of
France
.
Yet
what
reputation
he
lost
by
Land
,
Sir
Edward
Howard
gained
by
Sea
,
commanding
the
French
ships
to
their
Harbours
:
over-running
Britaign
,
and
with
Sir
Tho.
Knevet
the
Master
of
the
Horse
,
Sir
Jo.
Carew
and
Sir
Henry
Guilford's
assistance
,
gave
Law
in
the
Mediterranean
,
until
he
awed
the
Neighbour-Princes
to
terms
as
honourable
for
his
Master
,
as
dishonourable
for
themselves
:
now
we
finde
him
valiant
in
earnest
at
Sea
,
anon
so
in
jest
at
Court
(
at
the
solemn
Justs
proclaimed
by
Francis
de
Valois
,
Duke
of
Angoulesm
in
France
)
his
Nature
being
not
stinted
,
but
equally
free
to
debonair
and
serious
Enterprizes
of
Pleasure
or
of
Honour
;
where
six
Germans
were
at
his
mercy
,
and
four
Frenchmen
at
his
feet
.
His
spirit
equalled
those
active
times
,
and
his
temper
his
spirit
.
Three
things
set
him
up
:
-
1.
His
large
expences
for
shew
at
Court
.
-
2.
His
strength
and
manhood
at
Justs
.
-
3.
His
skill
and
experience
in
the
Field
.
He
was
the
best
for
embatteling
an
Army
in
those
times
:
observing
,
1.
The
number
,
strength
and
experience
of
his
Camp
.
2.
The
nature
and
extent
of
the
place
,
whether
champaign
or
inclosed
,
hilly
or
plain
,
wooddy
or
moorish
,
straight
or
large
;
that
he
might
accordingly
dispose
of
distances
and
stands
.
3.
Inclosures
he
aimed
at
for
his
Foot
,
and
Champaign
for
his
Horse
,
together
with
the
advantages
of
winde
and
sun
.
4.
He
impales
the
Flank
and
Reer
with
Muskets
,
Pikes
and
Carriages
.
5.
His
Divisions
were
sundry
,
but
well
ordered
to
relieve
one
another
:
His
main
Battels
three
:
the
largest
in
the
front
,
the
next
in
the
middle
,
with
some
spaces
between
for
the
first
to
rally
it self
,
or
embody
with
the
second
;
the
third
and
strongest
in
the
Rear
,
so
divided
that
the
two
first
Battels
may
retreat
into
it
,
and
draw
up
in
its
Rear
,
to
watch
the
Enemies
disorder
in
pursuit
.
It
's
observed
of
the
Turks
,
that
they
never
put
their
Janizaries
(
their
best
Souldiers
)
in
the
Front
,
but
make
use
of
them
for
Reserves
,
by
which
they
have
been
very
successful
:
This
Noble
Marquess
went
not
by
rote
or
fore-conceived
Rules
,
but
by
present
Prudence
,
observing
time
,
place
and
persons
;
neither
would
he
lie
open
to
an
Enemies
design
by
a
constant
Method
,
but
alter
his
Stratagems
,
and
contradict
all
the
Rules
of
Discipline
,
to
disorder
the
Enemy
,
and
disappoint
his
expectation
.
He
hath
sometimes
compounded
the
wings
of
his
Battel
of
the
ablest
men
,
and
the
Battel
it self
of
the
meanest
;
ordering
them
,
if
over-powered
,
to
make
their
retreat
to
the
Rear
of
the
other
Divisions
,
through
the
spaces
appointed
for
that
end
;
which
the
Enemy
perceiving
,
followeth
(
not
smelling
the
drift
)
not
without
disorder
,
(
as
in
all
pursuits
)
between
the
two
strong
wings
,
who
crush
them
in
pieces
:
his
field-Pieces
after
once
or
twice
discharging
,
were
drawn
within
the
Divisions
of
the
main
Battel
,
to
fire
the
Enemy
at
his
next
approaches
,
if
the
front
were
disordered
:
and
to
avoid
the
execution
of
his
Enemies
,
his
files
were
thin
,
and
his
Dragoons
ready
to
seize
theirs
,
whereby
at
least
they
were
hindered
from
shooting
;
his
Forlorn
retired
to
the
main
Battel
,
and
out
of
the
Flanks
thereof
issued
with
Fire-pots
and
Granadoes
upon
the
engaged
Enemy
.
His
Horse
were
in
four
Battalia's
,
whereof
the
first
was
the
greatest
,
lined
with
shot
,
placed
on
each
wing
of
the
main
Army
;
always
opening
upon
the
opening
of
the
Enemy
.
The
greatest
trust
between
man
and
man
,
is
the
trust
of
giving
Counsel
:
For
in
other
confidences
(
saith
my
Lord
Bacon
)
men
commit
the
parts
of
life
,
their
Lands
,
their
Goods
,
their
Children
,
their
Credit
,
some
particular
affair
;
but
to
such
as
they
make
their
Counsellours
,
they
commit
the
whole
,
by
how
much
the
more
they
are
obliged
to
faithfulness
and
integrity
.
None
was
more
trusted
then
the
Marquess
,
none
more
trusty
:
none
understood
clearer
what
was
fit
,
nonespoke
plainer
what
he
understood
.
What
wants
a
Soveraign
?
(
said
a
flattering
Courtier
:
)
Truth
;
(
said
a
serious
King
.
)
Never
had
King
more
need
of
it
then
Henry
,
never
less
of
it
then
he
;
whom
it
was
less
fatal
to
Ruine
,
then
to
Displease
.
But
this
Souldier
was
as
much
above
Fear
as
Flattery
,
that
told
him
when
pensive
,
That
never
was
that
man
merry
,
that
had
more
then
one
Woman
in
his
Bed
,
more
then
one
Friend
in
his
Bosom
,
more
then
one
Faith
in
his
Heart
.
So
wary
was
this
Gentleman
,
that
he
was
not
rash
,
and
so
lost
his
advantage
:
so
valiant
,
that
he
was
not
contemptible
,
and
so
lost
his
command
:
He
led
others
by
the
strongest
authority
of
his
own
forwardness
,
his
own
Example
;
he
was
led
himself
by
the
best
Guide
,
his
own
Observation
,
his
own
Experience
:
His
Book
limited
not
his
Design
,
nor
his
Paper-plot
his
Undertakings
.
Land-service
was
his
Exercise
,
but
the
Sea
his
Delight
:
the
Compass
his
Study
,
the
Stars
his
Care
,
Trade
his
Thoughts
,
our
own
and
forreign
Havens
his
Discourse
,
a
Sea-man
his
Familiar
,
and
three
Sea-fights
his
Triumph
:
His
converse
and
speech
was
Souldier-like
,
plain
,
short
,
smart
and
material
:
there
was
a
time
when
he
would
say
nothing
,
and
a
time
when
he
would
say
something
;
but
never
a
time
when
he
would
say
all
.
He
was
,
in
a
word
,
the
happy
man
,
who
notwithstanding
that
the
times
could
not
endure
his
Vertues
,
nor
he
their
Vices
,
died
at
once
full
of
honour
at
Court
,
and
applause
in
the
Country
,
with
this
Monument
from
the
King
,
That
Honest
and
Good
Man
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Robert
Wingfield
.
HIs
Parts
and
Person
endeared
him
to
the
English
Court
,
his
Travel
and
Experience
recommended
him
to
Forreign
Negotiations
;
particularly
in
the
Emperour
Maximilians
Court
,
whom
his
arguments
and
his
own
Interest
drew
off
from
France
;
Sir
Robert
helping
him
to
some
Observation
touching
the
breach
of
the
Articles
of
Cambray
,
as
his
pretence
to
this
alteration
,
and
offering
him
what
men
and
money
he
pleased
,
as
his
encouragement
to
this
undertaking
:
sending
in
the
mean
time
one
Nicholas
West
,
D.
L.
and
Dean
of
Windsor
,
to
feel
the
Pulse
of
all
the
Princes
in
Christendom
;
and
advising
,
upon
an
intire
reflection
on
their
several
Interests
,
the
repair
of
our
frontier
Towns
and
Forts
,
an
Army
ready
in
the
North
,
and
a
constant
Parliament
.
He
is
Deputy
of
Calice
,
and
Viceroy
of
France
:
What
the
French
lost
in
the
Field
,
they
got
by
Treaty
,
until
Sir
Richard's
time
,
whose
Policy
went
as
far
as
his
Masters
Power
,
in
that
Accord
,
Which
tied
up
(
they
said
)
the
French
Kings
bands
behinde
his
back
,
and
the
Scotch
between
his
legs
.
Yea
,
he
almost
perswaded
Maximilian
out
of
his
Empire
,
1516.
though
he
wished
the
King
not
to
accept
of
it
until
the
French
were
out
of
Italy
.
Some
do
better
by
Friends
or
Letters
,
Sir
Robert
best
by
himself
;
observing
that
he
never
failed
,
but
when
he
intrusted
others
with
what
he
could
do
himself
;
his
person
breeding
regard
,
and
his
eye
seeing
more
then
any
he
could
employ
;
and
his
present
minde
being
more
ready
in
his
own
affairs
upon
any
alteration
to
come
on
,
draw
back
,
o●
otherwise
accommodate
matters
,
then
any
Substitute
,
who
seeth
not
the
bottom
of
things
,
nor
turn
to
occasions
.
He
had
about
him
his
Blades
and
Gallants
,
to
expostulate
;
his
Orators
and
fair
spoken
men
,
to
perswade
;
his
close
and
subtle
ones
,
to
enquire
and
observe
;
his
froward
men
,
to
perplex
;
and
his
plain
Agents
,
to
report
:
Attendants
for
all
services
,
whose
experience
made
them
knowing
and
confident
.
Doctor
West
,
Pace
,
Lee
and
Gardener's
way
was
the
Circuit
afar
off
;
Sir
Robert's
was
the
Surprize
,
quick
and
nicked
:
no
man
observing
time
more
closely
;
no
man
watching
Natures
tempers
,
interest
,
advantages
and
ends
,
more
indefatigably
.
It
was
the
observation
of
those
days
,
That
Sir
Robert
Wingfield
was
the
best
to
prepare
and
ripen
Designes
,
and
Sir
Thomas
Bolen
to
execute
them
:
But
that
Age
was
too
boysterous
,
and
he
too
wary
to
advance
beyond
the
reputation
of
〈◊〉
knowing
Agent
,
in
which
capacity
he
lived
;
or
〈◊〉
a
resolved
Patriot
,
with
which
honour
he
dieth
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Edward
Stafford
,
Duke
of
Buckingham
.
HIs
Blood
was
high
,
his
Revenue
large
;
and
he
was
born
to
adorn
the
Court
,
rather
then
to
serve
it
.
He
vied
with
the
King
in
Gallantry
,
and
with
the
Cardinal
in
Pride
:
of
the
one
he
speaks
irreverently
,
That
women
governed
him
more
then
he
did
the
Kingdome
;
of
the
other
●nd
screetly
,
That
Francis
governed
France
,
and
Harry
England
,
and
Wolsey
both
;
adding
,
That
the
Commonalty
might
well
complain
,
when
we
had
two
Kings
to
maintain
.
That
which
ruineth
the
world
,
ruineth
him
,
his
Tongue
.
Fate
never
undid
a
man
without
.
his
own
indiscretion
;
and
her
first
stroke
is
at
the
Head
.
Abroad
,
none
more
Gorgeous
;
at
Home
,
none
more
Noble
:
at
Court
,
splendid
;
among
his
Tenants
,
Prince-like
;
to
his
Relations
,
impartial
.
A
Servant
always
pulled
down
the
house
of
the
Staffords
;
and
now
one
Knevet
his
Steward
,
whom
he
had
discharged
for
oppressing
his
Tenants
,
undoeth
him
:
for
his
Father-in-law
the
Earl
of
Northumberland
is
set
under
a
Cloud
,
and
his
Son-in-law
the
Earl
of
Surrey
is
removed
,
on
pretence
of
honourable
employment
,
out
of
the
way
;
and
Wolsey's
malice
at
the
Duke
hath
its
full
scope
,
who
now
deals
with
Knevets
discontent
to
discover
his
Masters
life
,
and
suggest
that
the
Duke
by
way
of
discourse
was
wont
to
say
how
he
meant
to
use
the
matter
,
that
if
King
Henry
died
without
issue
,
he
would
attain
the
Crown
,
and
punish
the
Cardinal
.
George
Nevil
Lord
Abergavenny
his
Son-in-law
,
impeached
him
,
to
save
himself
.
His
Title
to
the
Crown
was
,
his
Descent
from
Anne
Platagenet
,
Daughter
of
Thomas
of
Woodstock
,
Son
to
Edward
the
third
.
His
Accusation
was
,
1.
That
he
had
conferred
with
a
Cunning-Man
,
(
Hopkins
,
Monk
of
Henton
)
concerning
the
future
state
of
this
Realm
;
who
advised
him
to
Popularity
:
for
he
should
have
all
,
if
he
had
but
the
love
of
the
People
:
the
Wizard
confirming
this
by
Revolutions
,
and
the
Duke
rewarding
it
with
great
encouragements
.
2.
That
he
disparaged
the
present
Government
and
used
Arts
to
secure
the
succession
.
3.
That
he
had
threatned
King
Henry
with
the
same
Dagger
that
should
have
murthered
Richa
〈…〉
the
third
.
He
denied
the
Charge
very
eloquently
,
and
disclaimed
his
Life
very
rashly
;
his
foolish
words
,
rather
then
any
designed
malice
,
deserving
rather
pity
then
judgement
.
Much
lamented
was
he
by
the
People
,
and
as
much
was
the
Cardinal
maliced
,
being
now
called
by
the
whole
multitude
,
The
Butchers
Son
.
When
Buckingham
fell
,
three
things
f
〈…〉
with
him
:
-
1.
The
Splendour
of
the
Court.
-
2.
Hospitality
,
and
good
Landlords
in
the
Country
.
And
,
-
3.
The
High-Constableship
of
England
.
All
Greatness
is
subject
to
Envy
;
but
none
more
then
that
which
is
infolent
and
affected
,
being
never
its
self
without
its
pomp
and
shew
.
Plain
and
modest
Greatness
is
onely
safe
:
A
Witch
then
blasts
a
man
when
most
prosperous
,
and
the
Envious
(
the
onely
Wizard
in
the
world
)
when
most
glorious
Wise-men
therefore
have
eclipsed
themselves
,
than
they
might
not
be
gazed
on
;
and
great
Ones
have
shrunk
,
and
suffered
themselves
to
be
over-born
to
be
secure
.
Vain-glorious
men
are
the
scorn
of
the
Wise
,
the
admiration
of
Fools
,
the
Idols
of
Parasites
,
and
the
envy
of
the
Unworthy
,
the
Busie
,
the
Unfortunate
,
the
Ambitious
,
and
the
Rivals
.
He
lives
well
,
that
lives
in
peace
;
and
he
is
safely
great
,
that
is
great
in
his
Conscience
.
Anger
●ure
is
but
a
weakness
in
any
man
,
(
it
belongeth
so
much
to
the
Aged
and
the
Childish
)
and
an
indecency
in
a
Noble-man
:
yet
it
might
have
been
a
Gallantry
in
this
Duke
,
had
it
not
,
1.
Revealed
secrets
,
and
so
betrayed
him
;
2.
Broke
off
his
Designes
,
and
so
confounded
him
;
And
,
3.
Spoke
bitterly
and
dangerously
,
and
so
abused
him
.
So
far
will
Discontent
carry
Nature
,
that
it
easily
believes
what
it
wisheth
:
So
much
doth
a
Prophetick
Vanity
sway
English-men
,
(
that
have
the
most
of
men
of
any
in
the
world
in
Divinations
,
and
an
itch
to
know
things
to
come
)
that
the
wittiest
Sir
Thomas
More
,
the
most
devout
Bishop
Fisher
,
the
wisest
Cardinal
Wolsey
,
and
the
most
Noble
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
have
been
undone
by
hearkning
after
Predictions
;
the
two
first
,
of
Elizabeth
Barton
;
the
third
,
of
John
Sacheverel
;
and
the
fourth
,
Monk
Hopkins
.
Always
are
these
Divinations
(
like
the
Astrologers
in
Rome
)
by
severe
Laws
forbidden
;
yet
always
are
they
by
vain
persons
obtruded
.
Many
Wives
,
wo
England
,
hardned
many
a
Male-content
to
his
ruine
in
King
Henry
the
eighth's
time
:
When
HEMPE
is
spun
,
England
is
done
,
encouraged
many
a
Papist
to
his
undoing
in
Queen
Elizabeths
time
:
Leo
,
Nulius
,
confirmed
many
a
deluded
soul
to
his
downfal
in
our
days
.
It
was
as
fatal
to
this
great
man
to
trust
his
Steward
,
as
his
Wizard
;
the
one
deluded
,
the
other
betrayed
him
.
It
undoeth
a
man
to
be
too
close
;
therefore
we
have
friends
to
ease
our selves
:
it
ruineth
a
man
to
be
too
open
;
therefore
there
is
a
secret
not
to
be
communicated
to
a
friend
.
When
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
made
Knevet
his
Confessour
,
he
made
him
his
Master
.
He
that
is
Master
of
my
Heart
,
is
Master
of
my
Life
:
If
my
Shi
〈…〉
said
Metellus
,
knew
my
minde
,
I
would
burn
it
.
〈◊〉
my
Servant
or
Friend
knows
my
intentions
,
I
mu
〈…〉
either
undo
him
,
or
be
undone
by
him
,
unless
〈◊〉
be
so
much
above
a
man
,
as
not
out
of
weakness
〈◊〉
discover
me
;
or
so
much
above
a
sinner
,
as
not
o
〈…〉
of
corruption
to
betray
me
.
Wild
Beasts
dwell
〈…〉
Dens
,
Fishes
bed
in
Mud
,
and
Birds
in
Nests
,
and
〈…〉
Wise
Man
is
wrapped
up
in
secrecy
.
Gyges
his
Ring
was
his
wisdome
,
whereby
he
understood
others
and
was
reserved
himself
.
It
's
pity
he
ever
learned
to
speak
,
that
knoweth
not
how
to
be
silent
.
〈◊〉
would
first
be
so
wise
,
(
faith
a
Wit
and
Wisdome
〈◊〉
our
Age
)
as
to
be
my
own
counsellour
,
and
next
so
secret
as
to
be
my
own
counsel-keeper
.
Some
of
my
servants
may
be
of
my
Bed-chamber
,
but
none
shall
be
of
my
closet
.
Before
I
told
you
of
this
,
(
saith
Charles
the
Fifth
of
a
Designe
discovered
upon
the
seventeen
Provinces
to
his
Favourite
Lunembergh
)
I
was
Emperour
,
but
now
you
an●
so
.
But
the
heighth
of
the
Dukes
spirit
was
equally
unfortunate
with
the
openness
of
it
;
and
he
fell
no●
less
because
he
despised
Knevet
,
then
because
he
trusted
him
.
Contemned
Dangers
ruine
surely
,
while
they
surprize
us
at
once
naked
,
and
careless
;
as
ill
prepared
to
offend
the
slighted
Adversary
,
as
to
defend
our
misunderstood
Selves
.
The
least
Beings
have
their
spleen
,
and
command
our
caution
:
No
creature
too
mean
to
be
mischievous
;
none
too
inconsiderate
to
be
feared
.
As
long
as
Weakness
can
cling
to
Power
,
and
Power
to
Malice
,
what
Kn●vet
would
,
but
could
not
,
that
Wolsey
could
and
would
.
If
my
Enemy
be
strong
,
he
shall
awe
;
if
weak
,
he
shall
guard
my
Life
.
Two
things
are
necessary
in
this
Life
,
Faithful
Friends
,
or
Severe
Enemies
:
The
fewer
of
the
former
men
of
the
Dukes
fortune
have
,
the
more
use
they
should
make
of
the
latter
.
The
greatest
Enemy
when
observed
,
may
do
me
a
great
kindness
;
the
least
neglected
,
can
do
no
little
mischief
:
Security
is
the
onely
misfortune
,
and
Carelessness
the
onely
fate
that
distresseth
the
World
.
But
the
Duke
threw
away
his
life
in
a
fatal
word
that
could
not
be
recalled
,
(
I
'll
not
ask
the
King
for
my
Life
.
)
Great
need
have
we
to
guard
that
Tongue
,
whence
flow
the
issues
of
Life
and
Death
;
and
weigh
those
words
that
go
abroad
for
the
measure
of
our
Weal
or
Wo
;
our
words
being
given
us
to
treat
with
the
World
about
either
,
discreetly
to
our
happiness
,
or
weakly
to
our
ruine
.
It
hath
repented
men
that
they
have
spoken
at
all
times
;
it
repented
none
to
have
been
silent
in
King
Henry's
,
when
there
was
no
security
but
to
the
Reserved
,
and
the
Pliable
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Anthony
Brown
.
HE
was
always
one
of
the
Council
to
King
Henry
at
home
,
and
of
his
Commissioners
abroad
:
no
Treaty
passing
without
his
presence
no
Negotiation
without
his
advice
;
the
first
carrying
as
much
Majesty
with
it
,
as
the
second
did
Authority
:
the
Court
having
bred
the
one
to
a
noble
Mein
,
as
Experience
had
done
the
other
to
an
Oracle
;
Experience
,
I
say
,
whereby
he
saw
more
,
as
Alexander
boasted
,
with
his
eye
,
then
others
comprehended
in
their
thoughts
;
that
being
knowledge
in
him
,
that
was
but
conjecture
in
others
.
He
was
the
best
Compound
in
the
World
;
a
learned
,
an
honest
,
and
a
travelled
man
;
a
good
Nature
,
a
large
Soul
,
and
a
settled
Minde
,
made
up
of
Notes
and
Observations
upon
the
most
material
points
of
State
he
could
learn
at
Courts
;
of
Religion
,
among
the
Clergy
;
of
Discipline
,
among
Souldiers
;
of
Trade
,
among
Merchants
;
or
of
the
situation
,
interest
,
avenues
and
strong
holds
,
by
his
own
eyes
.
It
's
a
pleasure
to
stand
upon
the
shore
,
and
to
see
ships
tost
upon
the
sea
;
it
's
pleasure
to
stand
in
the
window
of
a
Castle
,
and
to
see
a
Battel
,
with
the
adventures
thereof
below
:
but
no
pleasure
is
comparable
to
the
standing
upon
the
Vantground
of
Truth
:
(
An
Hi
〈…〉
(
saith
my
Noble
Author
)
not
to
be
commanded
,
and
where
the
air
is
always
clear
and
serene
;
)
and
to
see
the
Errors
and
Wandrings
,
the
Mists
and
Tempests
in
the
Vale
below
:
That
content
is
better
felt
then
expressed
that
this
Noble
Person
took
in
his
own
clear
thoughts
,
when
it
was
Mist
all
round
about
him
;
and
King
Henry
cried
,
What
say
Cromwel
and
Brown
?
Vespasian
asked
Apollonius
,
What
was
Nero's
overthrow
?
and
he
answered
him
,
Nero
could
tune
the
H●rp
well
;
but
in
Government
sometimes
he
wound
the
pins
too
high
,
and
sometimes
he
let
them
down
too
low
.
Sir
Anthony
told
Henry
the
Eighth
,
That
his
Government
had
been
more
easie
,
if
he
had
either
set
it
not
so
loose
at
first
,
or
not
so
strict
at
last
:
(
as
there
was
indeed
no
King
so
various
as
his
Master
,
no
State
so
changeable
as
his
Government
.
)
An
even
temper
begets
aw
and
reverence
;
whilst
the
wide
extreams
create
either
on
the
one
hand
contempt
and
insolence
,
or
on
the
other
discontent
and
murmuring
.
Haughty
and
violent
Courts
never
bless
the
Owners
with
a
settled
Peace
.
This
deep
man
was
Leiger
in
Rome
six
years
,
and
Agent
in
France
ten
:
A
Person
of
great
dispatch
,
because
of
an
orderly
method
and
procedure
;
which
he
observed
to
a
superstition
,
saying
,
Time
and
Method
are
my
Masters
.
There
are
(
saith
my
Oracle
)
three
parts
of
business
;
Preparation
,
Debate
and
Perfection
:
The
middle
King
Henry
communicated
to
the
whole
Council
,
the
first
and
last
to
few
,
viz.
to
my
Lord
Cromwel
and
Sir
Anthony
Brown
.
The
highest
matters
were
his
care
;
as
the
Interview
in
France
,
1533.
the
most
eminent
Statesmen
his
fellows
,
as
the
Duke
of
Norfolke
,
the
Lord
Rochfort
and
the
Lord
Paulet
;
those
Noble
Persons
bearing
the
state
,
and
he
managing
the
business
of
the
Embassies
.
The
wise
man
of
Florence
took
care
that
Ferdinando
of
Naples
,
Medices
of
Florence
,
Sforza
of
Millain
should
gain
nothing
of
one
another
,
to
the
great
security
of
Italy
:
Sir
Anthony
watched
our
Neighbours
Conquests
,
Trade
,
Approaches
,
&c.
so
closely
,
that
none
of
those
Potentates
,
Charles
the
Fifth
or
King
Francis
,
could
win
a
spot
of
Ground
,
but
his
Master
would
balance
it
,
and
so
secure
Europe
.
The
Interviews
between
Princes
he
disallowed
;
yet
to
satisfie
his
Master
,
he
provided
for
that
in
France
so
sumptuously
,
as
one
that
understood
the
formality
of
a
Pageant
was
a
real
advantage
to
a
Government
whose
Interest
is
as
much
to
gain
a
reputation
by
pomp
and
shew
,
as
support
a
welfare
by
prudence
and
strength
:
others
apprehension
of
our
greatness
,
contributing
as
much
to
our
welfare
,
as
our
welfare
it self
:
Opinion
governs
the
World
:
Princes
with
their
Majesty
,
may
be
oft
envied
and
hated
;
without
it
,
they
are
always
scorned
and
contemned
:
Circumstances
are
often
more
then
the
main
,
and
shadows
are
not
always
shadows
:
Outward
Esteem
to
a
great
Person
,
is
as
skin
to
Fruit
,
which
though
a
thin
cover
,
preserveth
it
:
King
Henry's
Person
and
State
did
England
more
Right
in
a
Year
,
then
his
Predecessors
Arms
in
an
Age
;
while
they
onely
impressed
a
resolution
in
the
Neighbours
,
he
a
reverence
.
As
Princes
govern
the
People
,
so
Reason
of
State
the
Princes
:
Spain
at
that
time
would
command
the
Sea
,
to
keep
us
from
the
Indies
;
and
our
Religion
,
to
keep
us
from
a
Settlement
:
France
suspected
our
Neighbourhood
,
and
engaged
Scotland
;
the
Pope
undermined
our
Designs
,
and
obliged
the
French
.
Sir
Anthony
at
Rome
,
in
respectful
terms
,
and
under
Protestation
that
his
Majesty
intended
no
contempt
of
the
See
Apostolick
,
or
Holy
Church
,
intimated
his
Masters
Appeal
to
the
next
General
Council
lawfully
assembled
;
exhibiting
also
the
Authentick
Instruments
of
the
same
,
and
the
Archbishop
of
Canterbury's
at
the
Consistory
,
where
,
though
the
Pope
made
forty
French
Cardinals
,
yet
our
Agent
and
his
money
made
twelve
English
,
and
taught
Francis
to
assume
the
power
of
disposing
Monasteries
and
Benefices
,
as
King
Henry
had
done
;
advising
him
to
inform
his
Subjects
clearly
of
his
proceedings
,
and
unite
with
the
Princes
of
the
Reformation
,
taking
his
Parliament
and
People
along
with
him
,
and
by
their
advice
cutting
off
the
Appeals
to
and
Revenues
of
Rome
,
by
visitations
,
&c.
with
a
Praemunire
,
together
with
the
Oath
of
Supremacy
,
and
the
publication
of
the
prohibited
Degrees
of
Marriage
:
He
added
in
his
Expresses
,
That
his
Majesty
should
by
disguised
Envoys
divide
between
the
Princes
and
the
Empire
.
The
next
sight
we
have
of
him
is
in
Scotland
;
the
French
Kings
passage
to
England
,
(
as
he
calls
it
:
)
Where
in
joynt
Commission
with
the
Earl
of
Southampton
,
and
the
Bishop
of
Durham
,
he
with
his
variety
of
Instructions
gained
time
until
the
French
King
was
embroyled
at
home
,
the
season
of
Action
was
over
there
,
and
the
Duke
of
Norfolk
ready
to
force
that
with
a
War
,
which
could
not
be
gained
by
Treaty
.
Fortune
is
like
the
Market
,
where
many
times
if
you
can
stay
a
little
,
the
Price
will
fall
:
The
ripeness
and
unripeness
of
the
Occasion
must
be
well
weighed
:
Watch
the
beginning
of
an
Action
,
and
then
speed
!
Two
things
make
a
compleat
Polititian
,
Secresie
in
Counsel
,
and
Celerity
in
Execution
.
But
our
Knights
Prudence
was
not
a
heavy
Wariness
,
or
a
dull
caution
,
as
appears
by
his
preferment
at
Court
,
where
he
is
Master
of
the
Horse
;
and
his
service
in
the
North
,
where
he
and
the
Comptroller
Sir
Anthony
Gage
,
are
in
the
head
of
10000
men
:
In
both
these
places
his
excellence
was
more
in
chusing
his
Officers
and
Followers
,
then
in
acting
himself
:
His
servants
were
modest
and
sober
,
troubling
him
with
nothing
but
his
business
,
and
expecting
no
higher
conditions
,
then
countenance
,
protection
and
recommendation
;
and
his
Retayners
peaceable
,
reserved
,
close
,
plain
and
hopeful
:
the
deserving
Souldier
and
the
promising
were
seen
often
at
his
gate
,
not
in
throngs
,
to
avoid
popularity
:
equal
was
his
favour
,
that
none
might
be
insolent
,
and
none
discontented
;
yet
so
discreetly
dispenced
,
as
made
the
Preferred
faithful
,
and
the
Expectants
officious
.
To
be
ruled
by
one
,
is
soft
and
obnoxious
;
by
many
,
troublesome
:
to
be
advised
by
few
,
as
he
was
,
is
safe
:
because
(
as
he
said
in
some
things
out
of
his
element
)
the
Vale
best
discovereth
the
Hill
.
Although
he
understood
not
the
main
matter
of
War
,
yet
he
knew
many
of
its
falls
and
incidents
;
his
prudence
being
as
able
to
lay
a
stratagem
,
as
others
experience
was
to
embattail
an
Army
.
Sir
Thomas
W●arton
Warden
of
the
Marches
he
commands
with
300
men
behind
an
Ambush
,
whither
he
draws
the
rash
Scots
,
and
overthroweth
them
more
with
the
surprize
then
his
power
,
taking
the
Lord
Admiral
Maxwel
,
&c.
who
was
committed
to
his
custody
;
and
putting
that
King
to
so
deep
a
melancholy
,
that
he
died
upon
it
.
His
death
suggests
new
counsels
,
and
Sir
Anthony
watcheth
in
Scotland
to
gain
his
Daughter
for
our
Prince
,
or
at
least
to
prevent
the
French
,
whom
Sir
William
Paget
watcheth
there
,
as
Sir
Ralph
Sadler
did
in
Rome
,
and
Sir
John
Wallop
at
Calais
:
and
when
that
Kings
designe
was
discovered
,
we
finde
our
Knight
with
Charles
Duke
of
Suffolk
,
Lieutenant-General
;
Henry
Fitz-Alan
,
Earl
of
Arundel
,
Lord
General
;
Will
.
Pawlet
,
Lord
St.
John
,
Stephen
Bishop
of
Winchester
,
with
a
rich
and
strong
Army
,
expecting
the
King
before
Montrevil
,
(
which
they
took
with
Bo●logn
)
and
forcing
the
French
to
a
Peace
and
Submission
that
secured
England
,
and
setled
Europe
.
Three
things
facilitate
all
things
:
1.
Knowledge
,
2.
Temper
,
3.
Time
.
Knowledge
our
Knight
had
either
of
his
own
or
others
,
whom
he
commanded
in
what
ever
he
went
about
,
laying
the
ground
of
matters
always
down
in
writing
,
and
debating
them
with
his
friends
,
before
he
declared
himself
in
Council
.
A
temperance
he
had
,
that
kept
him
out
of
the
reach
of
others
,
and
brought
others
within
his
.
Time
he
took
,
always
driving
,
never
being
driven
by
his
business
;
which
is
rather
a
huddle
,
then
a
performance
,
when
in
haste
:
there
was
something
that
all
admired
,
and
which
was
more
,
something
that
all
were
pleased
with
,
in
this
mans
actions
.
The
times
were
dark
,
his
carriage
so
too
:
the
Waves
were
boysterous
,
but
he
the
solid
Rock
,
or
the
well-guided
Ship
that
could
go
with
the
Tide
.
He
mastered
his
own
passion
,
and
others
too
,
and
both
by
Time
and
Opportunity
;
therefore
he
died
with
that
peace
the
State
wanted
,
and
with
that
universal
repute
the
States-men
of
those
troublesome
times
enjoyed
not
.
By
King
Henry's
Will
he
got
a
Legacy
of
300
l.
for
his
former
Service
;
and
the
Honour
to
be
of
Prince
EDWARD's
special
Council
for
the
future
.
By
his
Order
he
had
,
as
his
share
of
Abbey-Lands
,
Battle-Abbey
in
Sussex
,
enjoyed
by
his
Heirs
Males
in
a
direct
Line
to
this
day
:
And
by
his
Authority
he
had
the
Honourable
Garter
.
He
was
the
first
man
that
durst
bring
his
Master
the
sad
news
,
That
He
must
die
:
And
no
wonder
he
durst
it
,
for
the
next
news
is
,
That
he
is
dead
himself
.
How
darest
thou
to
be
so
plain
?
said
Heliogabalus
to
the
Courtier
:
Because
I
dare
die
,
said
he
:
I
can
but
die
,
if
I
am
Faithful
;
and
I
must
die
,
though
I
Flatter
.

Herbert's
Character
of
Cardinal
Wolsey
,
in
his
Life
of
Henry
the
Eighth
,
pag.
314.
ANd
thus
concluded
that
great
Cardinal
:
A
man
in
whom
ability
of
parts
and
Industry
were
equally
eminent
;
though
,
for
being
employed
wholly
in
ambitious
ways
,
they
became
dangerous
Instruments
of
power
,
in
active
and
mutable
times
.
By
these
arts
yet
he
found
means
to
govern
not
onely
the
chief
affairs
of
this
Kingdom
,
but
of
Europe
;
there
being
no
Potentate
,
which
,
in
his
turn
did
not
seek
to
him
:
and
as
this
procured
him
divers
Pensions
,
so
,
when
he
acquainted
the
King
therewith
,
his
manner
was
,
so
cunningly
to
disoblige
that
Prince
who
did
fee
him
last
,
as
he
made
way
thereby
oftentimes
to
receive
as
much
on
the
other
side
.
But
not
of
secular
Princes
alone
,
but
even
of
the
Pope
and
Clergy
of
Rome
he
was
no
little
courted
;
of
which
therefore
he
made
especial
use
,
while
he
drew
them
to
second
him
on
most
occasions
.
His
birth
being
otherwise
so
obscure
and
mean
,
as
no
man
had
ever
stood
so
single
:
for
which
reason
also
his
chief
indeavour
was
not
to
displease
any
great
Person
;
which
yet
could
not
secure
him
against
the
divers
Pretenders
of
that
time
.
For
as
all
things
passed
through
his
hands
,
so
they
who
failed
in
their
suits
,
generally
hated
him
:
All
which
,
though
it
did
but
exasperate
his
ill
nature
,
yet
this
good
resultance
followed
,
that
it
made
him
take
the
more
care
to
be
Just
;
whereof
also
he
obtained
the
reputation
in
his
publick
hearing
of
Causes
:
For
as
he
loved
no
body
,
so
his
Reason
carried
him
.
And
thus
he
was
an
useful
Minister
of
his
King
,
in
all
points
,
where
there
was
no
question
of
deserving
the
Roman
Church
;
of
which
(
at
what
price
soever
)
I
finde
he
was
a
zealous
Servant
;
as
hoping
thereby
to
aspire
to
the
Papacy
,
whereof
(
as
the
factious
times
then
were
)
he
seemed
more
capable
then
any
,
had
he
not
so
immoderately
affected
it
.
Whereby
also
it
was
not
hard
to
judge
of
his
Inclination
;
that
Prince
,
who
was
ablest
to
help
him
to
this
Dignity
,
being
ever
preferred
by
him
;
which
therefore
was
the
ordinary
Bait
by
which
the
Emperour
and
the
French
King
,
one
after
the
other
did
catch
him
.
And
,
upon
these
terms
,
he
doubted
not
to
convey
vast
treasures
out
of
this
Kingdom
,
especially
unto
Rome
,
where
he
had
not
a
few
Cardinals
at
his
devotion
;
by
whose
help
,
though
he
could
not
attain
that
Supreme
Dignity
he
so
passionately
desired
,
yet
he
prevailed
himself
so
much
of
their
favour
,
as
he
got
a
kinde
of
absolute
power
in
Spiritual
Matters
at
Home
:
Wherewith
again
be
so
served
the
Kings
turn
,
as
it
made
him
think
the
less
of
using
his
own
Authority
.
One
error
seemed
common
to
both
,
which
was
,
That
such
a
multiplicity
of
Offices
and
Places
were
invested
in
him
.
For
as
it
drew
much
envy
upon
the
Cardinal
in
particular
,
so
it
derogated
no
little
from
the
Regal
Authority
,
while
one
man
alone
seemed
to
exhaust
all
:
Since
it
becometh
Princes
to
do
like
good
Husband-men
,
when
they
sow
their
Grounds
,
which
is
,
to
scatter
,
and
not
to
throw
all
in
one
place
.
He
was
no
great
Dissembler
,
for
so
qualified
a
Person
;
as
ordering
his
businesses
(
for
the
most
part
)
so
cautiously
,
as
he
got
more
by
keeping
his
word
then
by
breaking
it
.
As
for
his
Learning
,
(
which
was
far
from
exact
)
it
consisted
chiefly
in
the
subtilties
of
the
Thomists
,
wherewith
the
King
and
himself
did
more
often
weary
then
satisfie
each
other
.
His
stile
,
in
Missives
,
was
rather
copious
then
eloquent
,
yet
ever
tending
to
the
point
.
Briefly
,
if
it
be
true
(
as
Polydore
observes
)
that
no
man
ever
did
rise
with
fewer
vertues
,
it
is
true
that
few
that
ever
fell
from
so
high
a
place
had
lesser
crimes
objected
against
him
:
Though
yet
Polydore
(
for
being
at
his
first
coming
into
England
committed
to
Prison
by
him
,
as
we
have
said
)
may
be
suspected
as
a
partial
Author
.
So
that
in
all
probability
he
might
have
subsisted
longer
,
when
either
his
pride
and
immense
wealth
had
not
made
him
obnoxious
,
and
suspected
to
the
King
,
or
that
other
than
Women
had
opposed
him
:
Who
,
as
they
are
vigilant
and
close
Enemies
,
so
for
the
most
part
they
carry
their
businesses
in
that
manner
as
they
leave
fewer
advantages
against
themselves
then
men
do
.
In
conclusion
,
As
〈…〉
cannot
assent
to
those
who
thought
him
happy
for
enjoying
the
untimely
compassion
of
the
People
〈…〉
little
before
his
end
,
so
I
cannot
but
account
it
〈…〉
principal
Felicity
,
that
during
his
favour
with
the
King
,
all
things
succeeded
better
then
afterwards
;
though
yet
it
may
be
doubted
whether
the
Impressions
he
gave
,
did
not
occasion
dives
Irregularities
which
were
observed
to
follow
.

AND
to
this
end
came
Cromwel
,
wh●
from
being
but
a
Blacksmiths
Son
,
found
means
to
travel
into
forraign
Countries
,
to
learn
their
Languages
,
and
to
see
the
Wars
(
being
a
Souldier
of
Bourbon
at
the
sacking
of
Rome
;
)
whence
returning
,
he
was
received
into
Cardinal
Wolsey'
s
service
:
To
whom
he
so
approued
himself
by
his
fidelity
and
diligence
,
that
the
King
after
his
fall
,
voluntarily
took
him
for
his
servant
;
in
which
place
he
became
a
special
Instrument
for
dissolving
the
Abbeys
and
other
Religious
Houses
,
and
keeping
down
the
Clergy
;
whom
,
in
regard
of
their
Oath
to
the
Pope
,
he
usually
termed
the
Kings
half
Subjects
:
And
for
expelling
the
Monks
,
he
said
it
was
no
more
then
a
restoring
them
to
the
first
Institution
,
of
being
lay
and
labouring
persons
:
Neither
did
〈…〉
t
move
him
that
so
much
strictness
and
austerity
of
Life
was
enjoyned
them
in
their
several
Orders
,
since
,
he
said
,
they
might
keep
it
in
any
condition
:
But
as
these
Reasons
again
were
not
admitted
by
divers
learned
and
able
Persons
,
so
he
got
him
many
Enemies
,
who
at
last
procured
his
fall
;
but
not
before
he
had
obtained
successively
the
Dignities
of
Master
of
the
Rolls
,
Baron
,
Lord
Privy
Seal
,
Vicegerent
to
the
King
in
Spirituali●ies
,
Knight
of
the
Garter
,

,

,
&c.

was

noted
in

As
for

I
leave
them
to
be
taken
out
of

WHo
cannot
be
sorrowful
and
amazed
that
he
should
be
a
Traytor
against
your
Majesty
?
He
that
was
so
advanced
by
your
Majesty
,
He
whose
Surety
was
onely
by
your
Majesty
,
He
who
loved
your
Majest
(
as
I
ever
thought
)
no
less
then
God
;
He
who
stadied
always
to
set
forwards
whatsoever
was
you
Majesties
will
and
pleasure
;
He
that
cared
for
〈…〉
mans
á
spleasure
to
serve
your
Majesty
;
He
the
was
such
a
Servant
in
my
judgement
,
in
wisdom
diligence
,
faithfulness
&
experience
,
as
no
Prine
in
this
Realm
ever
had
:
He
that
was
so
vigilant
〈◊〉
preserve
your
Majesty
from
all
Treasons
,
that
f
〈…〉
could
be
so
secretly
conceived
,
but
he
detected
the
same
in
the
beginning
.
If
the
Noble
Princes
of
memory
,
King
John
,
Henry
II.
and
Richard
Il●
had
had
such
a
Counsellour
about
them
,
I
supposed
they
should
never
have
been
so
Traiterously
abandoned
and
overthrown
as
those
good
Princes
were
.
After
which
,
he
says
again
,
I
loved
him
as
my
Friend
,
for
so
I
took
him
to
be
;
but
I
chiefly
loved
him
for
the
love
which
I
thought
I
saw
him
bear
ever
towards
your
Grace
,
singularly
above
all
other
:
But
now
,
if
he
be
a
Traitor
,
I
am
sorry
that
ever
I
loved
him
or
trusted
him
;
and
I
am
very
glad
that
his
Treason
is
discovered
in
time
:
But
yet
egain
I
am
very
sorrowful
;
for
who
shall
your
Grace
trust
hereafter
,
if
you
might
not
trust
him
?
Alas
!
I
bewail
and
lament
your
Graces
chance
herein
!
I
wot
not
whom
your
Grace
may
trust
.
But
I
pray
God
continually
night
and
day
to
send
such
a
Counsellour
in
his
place
whom
your
Grace
may
trust
,
and
who
for
all
his
Qualities
can
and
will
serve
your
Grace
like
to
him
;
and
that
will
have
so
much
sollicitude
and
care
to
preserve
your
Grace
from
all
dangers
,
as
I
ever
thought
he
had

they
raised
so
much
dust

put
out

therefore

recommended
them
to

Sir
Edward
Seymours
temper
suited
with
the
Kings
Inclinations
,
and
his
spirit
with
his
times
;
both
high
,
both
stirring
.
In
the
throng
of
Courtiers
,
there
are
but
three
steps
to
raise
a
man
to
observation
:
1.
Some
peculiar
sufficiency
;
2.
Some
particular
exploit
;
and
,
3.
An
especial
Friend
:
This
Noble
Person
shewed
the
first
with
advantage
,
in
that
draught
of
Military
Discipline
presented
to
Henry
the
eighth
,
wherein
the
embattling
is
most
remarkable
,
viz.
Twenty
two
compleat
Companies
make
up
four
Squadrons
;
every
Squadron
of
Pikes
and
Musquets
being
drawn
up
apart
,
the
Pikes
and
Colours
on
the
left
hand
,
and
the
Musqueteers
on
the
right
.
These
Squadrons
make-up
a
Brigade
,
to
be
drawn
up
as
followeth
,
viz.
Ten
Corporalships
of
Musqueteers
being
34
Rots
divided
into
five
Plattons
,
every
Platton
being
nine
or
so
in
front
,
led
by
a
Major
,
and
even
division
by
a
sufficient
Commander
.
Next
after
these
,
36
Rats
of
Pikes
are
to
follow
,
(
being
twelve
Corporalships
)
with
their
Colours
following
them
,
till
they
are
drawn
up
even
in
from
with
the
32
Rots
of
Musqueteers
:
This
make
the
Right
Wing
of
the
Brigade
.
2.
The
Batter
of
Pikes
moveth
forwards
in
division
,
doing
in
a●
respects
as
the
former
,
till
they
range
even
in
front
with
the
Pikes
of
the
Right
Wing
:
Then
the
other
32
Rots
of
Musqueteers
belonging
to
the
middle
Squadron
,
(
who
are
appointed
to
make
the
Battel
of
the
Brigade
)
are
led
up
as
the
first
Musqueteers
in
all
points
,
but
at
a
reasonable
distance
behind
the
Pikes
of
their
own
Squadrons
.
Then
the
last
Squadron
of
Pikes
marcheth
up
,
in
all
respects
observing
the
same
order
,
until
they
have
attained
to
range
in
front
even
with
other
Pikes
.
This
being
done
,
the
Battel
or
middle
Squadron
of
Pikes
and
Musquets
advanceth
in
one
body
,
until
it
's
clear
of
the
Wings
.
Lastly
,
the
Surplus
of
the
three
Squadrons
being
48
Rots
of
Musqueteers
,
are
drawn
up
behind
the
Brigade
,
where
they
are
to
attend
the
Commands
of
their
Officers
,
to
guard
the
Baggage
or
Cannon
,
to
be
Convoys
for
Ammunition
or
Victuals
to
the
rest
,
or
continue
a
reserve
to
wait
upon
all
occasions
.

Eminent
was
his
ability
for
this
Draught
,
more
eminent
for
his
performance
agreeable
to
it
in
Bretaign
;
where
he
sate
before
a
Town
six
weeks
to
no
purpose
,
while
it
expected
relief
from
Italy
:
but
at
last
he
insinuates
a
jealousie
between
the
Pope
and
the
French
King
touching
that
City
,
that
obstructed
all
relief
:
He
with
as
much
speed
as
policy
sets
upon
the
two
main
Sconces
for
defence
of
the
Town
,
and
took
them
both
;
battering
the
Town
and
Castle
with
that
violence
and
noise
,
that
they
say
it
was
heard
100
miles
off
.
A
Train
of
Powder
is
laid
to
blow
them
up
when
they
should
enter
;
but
this
succeeded
not
:
for
the
French
in
passing
the
Ditch
had
so
wet
their
cloaths
,
that
dropping
upon
the
Train
,
the
Powder
would
not
take
fire
;
and
so
all
things
conspiring
to
crown
his
Valour
with
success
,
he
takes
the
Castle
first
;
and
then
dividing
the
Town
,
and
weakning
it
by
several
assaults
at
once
,
brought
it
to
his
own
terms
.
Here
his
Valour
had
been
eminent
,
but
that
his
Conduct
was
more
;
and
his
Conduct
renowned
,
but
that
his
nobleness
towards
the
Conquerour
,
his
civility
and
obligingness
towards
the
Souldiery
,
and
his
integrity
towards
all
persons
,
had
out-done
that
.
There
are
but
two
things
that
a
subject
can
honestly
oblige
his
Prince
in
:
1.
Keeping
his
subjects
in
peace
at
home
,
2.
Keeping
his
enemies
under
abroad
:
1.
Those
soft
,
but
prudent
Acts
of
Peace
;
2.
Those
resolved
,
but
well-managed
ways
of
War
:
Sir
Thomas
wanted
neither
a
resolution
for
the
one
,
nor
a
temper
for
the
other
.
But
sufficiency
and
merits
are
neglected
things
when
not
befriended
:
(
Princes
are
too
reserved
to
be
taken
with
the
first
appearances
of
worth
,
unless
recommended
by
tryed
judgements
:
it
's
fit
,
as
well
as
common
,
that
they
have
their
Counsellours
for
persons
as
well
as
things
:

Great
this

interest
in
,
and
respect
with
the

;
as
great

with
the

:
the
Multitude
would
leave
all
for
their
good
Lord
of

,
and

would
die
with
their
noble
Lord
Seymour
.
When
the
King
of
Scots
had
deluded
King
Henry
in
his
correspondencies
with
France
beyond
all
patience
,
and
had
been
forborn
beyond
all
safety
or
prudence
,
Sir
Edward
Seymour
is
first
sent
to
treat
,
and
then
to
sight
;
which
he
did
with
that
success
,
that
300
of
his
men
,
and
a
stratagem
,
(
to
possess
the
Scots
with
an
apprehension
that
the
whole
English
Army
was
upon
them
)
took
and
killed
30000
Scots
,
had
more
prisoners
then
they
could
keep
,
more
booty
then
they
could
dispose
of
;
and
adding
this
to
their
Victory
,
That
they
broke
the
Kings
heart
.
There
was
no
end
to
be
expected
of
a
War
with
Seotland
,
but
by
marrying
that
Kings
Daughter
to
our
Soveraigns
Son
.
This
Match
was
my
Lord
Seymour's
interest
as
well
as
the
Kings
:
his
prudence
and
experience
is
therefore
employed
first
to
perswade
it
;
and
when
that
would
not
do
,
(
so
great
and
so
cross
the
Papal
power
there
by
Cardinal
Betons

)

and
thence
proceeded
to
Edinburgh
:
(
my
Lord
Dudley
leading

,
our
Earl

,
and
the
Earl
of
Shrewsbury

Rereward
:
)
there
the

are
offered
them
upon
conditions
;
which
they
refusing
,
(
and
so
making

,
who
resolveth
rather
to
perish
nobly
,
then
be
undone
by
submission
)
the
Town
holds

,
and
they
are
able
to
do
no
more
,
with
some
considerable
loss
,

utter

take
all
their

and
Ammunition
,
returning
to
Berwick
with
the
loss
onely
of
14
men
.
Two
things
he
was
eminent
for
:
1.
His
Advice
,
that
not
the
least
Punctilio
of
the
Law
should
be
neglected
:
whereupon
the
Earl
of
Surrey
and
other
Nobility
were
imprisoned
for
eating
Flesh
in
Lent
.
A
secret
and
unobserved
contempt
of
the
Law
,
is
a
close
undermining
of
Authority
;
which
must
be
either
its
self
in
indulging
nothing
,
or
be
nothing
in
allowing
all
.
Liberty
knows
no
restraint
,
no
limit
,
when
winked
at
.
2.
For
his
Popularity
,
in
advancing
the
Benevolence
52000
l.
beyond
expectation
.
The
Scots
must
have
War
as
long
as
there
is
Poverty
in
their
Country
,
and
Interest
in
France
:
This
Noble
Earl
cutteth
off
the
Invaders
,
layeth
waste
the
Country
,
and
(
that
the
source
of
those
troubles
might
be
damned
up
)
entreth
France
with
80000
men
;
and
after
some
skirmishes
,
brought
the
King
thereof
to
a
peace
and
submission
.
In
pursuance
whereof
,
while
King
Henry
was
in
Bologn
,
he
made
his
Will
,
wherein
the
Earl
of
Hertford
Lord
High
Chamberlain
is
appointed
Principal
Counsellour
to
his
Nephew
:
and
not
long
after
he
dieth
,
and
leaves
the
Kingdome
to
his
son
,
and
his
son
to
his
Uncle
,
whom
the
common
Vote
made
Protector
,
and
Interest
a
Moderator
of
the
Council
,
which
the
times
required
able
,
but
their
humours
made
factious
.
The
peace
with
King
Francis
and
the
Emperour
was
but
uncertain
,
the
Scots
were
irreconcileable
,
the
Pope
implacable
,
Religion
unsetled
,
the
Clergy
out
of
frame
,
the
People
distracted
,
and
the
Nobility
at
variance
.
A
great
Counsellour

Henry

his
son
,
and
a
greater

Uncle
makes

counsel
is
stability
:
things
will
have
their
first
or
second
agitation
:
if
they
be
not
tossed
upon
the
Arguments
of
Counsel
,
they
will
be
tossed
upon
the
Waves
of
Fortune
.
But
yet
this
Lord
miscarried
,
in
that
the
Council
understood
him
better
then
he
did
them
:
And
he
advised
with
them
rather
in
publick
,
where
men
speak
warily
,
and
in
compliance
with
others
humour
;
then
in
private
,
where
they
deliver
themselves
more
freely
,
and
agreeably
to
their
own
humours
.
(
The
Rule
is
,
Ask
an
inferiour
mans
advice
in
private
,
that
he
may
be
free
;
and
a
superiours
in
publick
,
that
he
may
be
respectful
.
)
But
he
did
well
,
1.
In
that
the
same
matter
if
weighed
,
was
never
propounded
and
resolved
the
same
day
.
2.
In
that
he
had
fixed
days
of
petitions
,
for
the
peoples
and
his
own
ease
.
3.
In
that
he
poyzed
his
Committees
of
contrary
Inclinations
;
that
watched
and
balanced
each
other
to
a
moderation
most
safe
for
the
Kingdome
and
himself
.
4.
That
he
had
of
all
Professions
such
at
his
command
as
opened
the
state
of
a
business
before
any
Commissioners
debated
it
.
5.
That
he
seldome
discovered
his
own
inclination
,
left
it
byassed
his
Counsel
.
6.
That
to
prevent
a
Combination
in
the
Council
,
he
weakned
their
power
and
priviledges
,
their
credit
,
their
dependencies
,
either
by
office
or
expectation
,
their
opportunities
and
correspondencies
,
so
that
he
could
easily
remove
any
when
faulty
,
discover
any
when
dangerous
,
disgrace
any
when
bold
,
and
not
fit
to
be
entrusted
with
the
Counsels
,
Resolves
,
Deliberations
and
Necessities
of
the
State
.
In
order
to
which
,
he
had
two
useful
Resolutions
,
1.
To
suppress
Calumnies
,
2.
To
encourage
Accusations
.
His
first
Acts
were
Shew
and
Pomp
,
(
necessary
for
Greatness
)
viz.
The
Knighting
of
the
King
,
and
making
himself
Duke
.
His
next
are
Realities
:
as
,
1.
His
modelling
the
Country
for
a
Parliament
,
considering
the
temper
of
the
people
,
and
the
pulse
of
the
last
Parliament
;
redressing
Grievances
,
setling
Elections
by
such
Legal
Rules
,
as
that
the
people
should
not
be
corrupted
with
money
,
overborn
by
importunity
,
transported
by
fear
or
favour
to
an
unworthy
or
an
unsuitable
choice
;
and
taking
a
just
time
to
prepare
the
people
for
the
designed
settlement
,
by
his
grave
and
sober
Injunctions
,
by
godly
and
good
Books
of
Instructions
,
by
a
wholsome
form
of
Prayer
,
(
composed
at
Windsor
)
by
a
more
exact
translation
of
the
Bible
,
by
several
Proclamations
for
moderation
and
order
on
all
hands
,
by
inhibiting
all
Preachers
but
such
learned
,
sober
,
grave
and
discreet
men
as
were
Licensed
thereunto
under
the
Lord
Protector
's
and
my
Lord
of
Canterbury's
hand
.
2.
His
promoting
the
Match
with
Scotland
first
by
Ambassadours
,
and
then
by
an
Army
,
whose
order
was
this
:
viz.
The
avant-guard
of

4000

Duke

Somerfet's

foot-men
at
Arms
,
and
600
light-horse
led
by
the
Earl
of
Warwick
;
the
main
Battle
of
6000
foot
,
and
600
men
at
Arms
,
and
1000
light-horse
,
led
by
the
Protector
;
and
the
Rear
of
half
so
many
,
led
by
the
Lord
Dacres
;
the
Artillery
of
16
Pieces
of
Ordnance
making
one
Wing
,
the
men
at
Arms
and
Demilances
the
other
.
For
the
Avant-guard
and
half
of
the
Battel
riding
about
two
flight-shot
from
their
side
,
the
other
half
of
the
Battel
:
and
the
whole
Flank
of
the
Rear
was
closed
by
the
Carriages
,
being
12000
Carts
and
Waggons
;
the
rest
of
the
men
at
Arms
and
Demilances
marching
behind
.
A
few
skirmishes
and
stratagems
passed
,
when
a
Trumpeter
is
sent
by
Huntley
to
challenge
the
Protector
;
to
whom
the
Protector
replying
like
a
wise
man
,
That
it
was
not
for
a
person
of
his
trust
to
duel
it
with
a
private
man
;
The
Earl
of
Warwick
said
,
Trumpeter
,
bring
me
word
that
thy
Master
will
perform
the
Combat
with
me
,
and
I
'll
give
thee
100
Crowns
.
Nay
,
rather
,
said
our
Duke
,
bring
me
word
that
he
will
give
us
Battle
,
and
I
will
give
thee

though
yet
so
warily
,
that
they
should
not
be
either
a
burden
or
a
danger
to
the
Crown
.
4.
He
gave
the
Commonalty
great
content
,
in
pulling
down
Enclosures
by
Proclamations
;
and
the
Nobility
no
less
,
by
setting
up
Land-improvements
by
Rule
.
5.
He
engaged
both
,
by
a
good
bargain
of
Church-lands
,
confirmed
by
this
Parliament
.
6.
He
weakneth
the
Papists
,
1.
By
conniving
at
them
until
they
broke
out
to
such
outrages
as
made
them
lyable
.
2.
By
dividing
them
when
engaged
,
with
hope
of
mercy
on
the
one
hand
,
and
fear
of
his
Army
on
the
other
.
7.
The
French
taking
the
advantage
of
our
seditions
to
break
off
their
Treaty
,
and
proclaim
a
War
,
he
confiscates
their
Estates
,
and
secures
the
persons
of
as
many
of
them
as
lived
in
England
.
But
Greatness
is
fatal
;
and
his
Brother
that
should
have
supported
this
great
man
,
ruines
himself
and
him
.
He
had
married
a
Lady

;

Brother

Queen-Dowager

it
must
needs
follow
)

Thomas
the
Admiral
is
questioned
for
aiming
at
the
Crown
,
1.
By
marrying
the
Lady
Elizabeth
,
and
then
by
seizing
the
Kings
person
and
the
Government
:
so
honest
this
Protector
,
(
a
plain
man
,
and
of
no
over-deep
insight
into
Practices
)
that
he
gave
way
to
his
Tryal
,
saying
,
(
though
somewhat
ominous
as
it
happened
)
I
'll
do
and
suffer
Justice
:
so
Uxorious
,
that
he
sealed
his
death
.
And
now
he
stands
alone
,
wanting
his
Brothers

to
reach
Warwick
,
or
his
resolution

The
people

troubled

and

)
forgetting
to
ask
the
benefit
of
the
Clergy
,
that
had
saved
it
.
This
Person
,
as
Mr.
Fuller
charactereth
him
,
was
religious
himself
,
a
lover
of
all
such
as
were
so
,
and
a
great
promoter
of
the
Reformation
:
Valiant
and

,
generally

as
one
that
could
not
be
jealous
;
better
to
act
,
then
designe
;
to
perform
,
then
plot
.
When
he
was
discharged
of
Treason
,
there
was
so
loud
a
shout
in
Westminster-hall
,
as
was
heard
to
Long-acre
;
when
condemned
of
Felony
,
there
was
a
silence
and
amazement
for
three
hours
.
Beheaded
he
was
on
Tower-hill
,
with
no
less
praise
for
his
piety
and
patience
,
then
pity
and
grief
of
the
spectators
.
His
Death
was
attended
with
many
signes
and

,
and
his
Name
with
an
indelible

Observations
on
the
Lives
of
the
Pars.
SIr
William
Par
Uncle
and
Lord
Chamberlain
There
was
another
of
his
name
Sheriff
,
Nephew
to
this
Knight
,
in
25
of
H
8.
to
Queen
Katharine
Par
,
was
by
King
Henry
the
Eighth
created
Baron
Par
of
Horton
:
he
left
two
Daughters
onely
,
married
into
the
Families
of
Tressam
and
Lane
.
His
Relation
called
him
to
Court
,
but
his
Age
forbid
him
the
pleasures
,
and
his
own
Reservedness
the
freedom
of
that
place
▪
before
which
he
preferred
the
pious
,
peaceable
,
and
hospitable
way
of
the
Countrey
,
where
Popularity
affected
him
,
more
then
he
affected
it
;
No
man
being
more
beloved
by
the
vulgar
,
no
man
less
in
love
with
them
:
It
being
his
Observation
〈…〉
ther
then
his
Countrey-man
Sir
gue's
saying
,
That
if
you
do
the
common
sort
of
people
nineteen
courtesies
together
,
yet
you
may
lose
th
〈…〉
love
,
if
you
go
but
over
the
stile
before
them
.
His
Cousin
Sir
William
was
brought
by
his
Sister
to
Court
,
and
advanced
by
his
Brother
to
Honour
;
being
for
his
Majesties
sake
as
well
as
his
own
,
made
Lord
Far
of
Kendal
,
Earl
of
Essex
,
by
King
Henry
the
Eighth
,
and
Marquess
of
Northampton
by
King
Edward
:
Queen
Mary
deprived
him
of
his
Estate
and
Honour
for
siding
with
the
Lady
Jane
,
and
Queen
Elizabeth
restored
him
to
both
,
for
favouring
the
Protestant
Religion
.
His
Delight
was
Musick
and
Poetry
,
and
his
Exercise
War
;
being
a
happy
composure
of
the
hardest
and
softest
Discipline
,
equally
made
for
Court
and
Camp
,
for
Delight
or
Horrour
:
But
his
skill
in
the
Field
answered
not
his
industry
,
nor
his
success
his
skill
:
Yet
King
Edward
called
him
,
His
Honest
Uncle
;
and
King
Henry
,
His
Integrity
.
The
whole
Family
was
made
by
a
Marriage
,
but
died
Issueless
.
The
common
Rule
of
Favourites
is
,
to
bring
in
all
their
Relations
about
them
,
to
adorn
and
support
them
:
but
this
Marquess
would
say
,
A
wall
that
hath
a
firm
Bottom
,
had
need
of
no
Buttress
;
and
that
which
wants
it
,
is
often
rather
thrust
down
then
upheld
by
it
.
The
Antiquaries
crouch
,
as
though
they
upheld
the
Church
,
when
they
are
upheld
by
it
:
Clients
are
more
a
burden
then
a
strength
:
and
when
the
chief
Favourite
dares
not
displease
his
Soveraign
because
he
is
so
near
him
,
they
dare
,
because
he
is
between
them
and
Majesty
.
His
Followers
were
not
gaudy
,
to
render
him
suspitious
;
nor
discontented
,
to
breed
ill
blood
,
and
a
misunderstanding
;
nor
too
open
,
to
discover
him
:
but
deserving
,
to
honour
him
;
and
hopeful
,
to
be
advanced
by
him
.
Active
men
were
recommended
by
him
to
King
Henry's
busie
Occasions
,
and
Vertuous
to
King
Edward's
pious
Inclinations
.
In
his
last
years
he
found
that
there
was
little
love
in
the
World
,
and
least
of
all
among
Equals
;
and
that
that
which
was
,
is
between
Superiour
and
Inferiour
,
whose
fortune
may
comprehend
the
one
the
other
.
To
ease
his
minde
therefore
,
to
satisfie
his
Judgement
,
to
observe
his
oversight
,
he
adopted
Sir
William
Cholmley
,
bringing
him
first
to
his
House
,
and
then
to
his
Heart
,
to
shew
him
that
impartially
,
which
he
could
not
discern
in
himself
.
There
is
no
such
Flatterer
as
a
mans
self
;
and
there
is
no
such
Remedy
against
Flattery
of
a
mans
self
as
the
liberty
of
a
Friend
:
Counsel
is
of
two
sorts
;
(
to
go
on
in
my
Authors
words
)
the
one
concerning
manners
,
the
other
concerning
business
:
for
the
first
,
the
best
preservative
to
keep
the
minde
in
health
,
is
the
faithful
admonition
of
a
Friend
:
The
calling
of
a
mans
self
to
a

,
is
a
medicine
sometime
too

dead
;
observing
our
faults
in
others
is
sometimes
improper
for
our
case
:
but
the
best
receipt
(
best
I
say
;
〈◊〉
work
,
and
best
to
take
)
is
the
Admonition
of
a
Friend
.
So
much
solid
Worth
he
had
,
that
he
had
no
use
of
Ambition
;
so
much
Modesty
,
that
he
made
little
use
of
his
Worth
:
Mean
thoughts
he
entertained
of
himself
,
and
as
mean
thoughts
did
he
by
his
down-cast
though
grave
look
,
his
sparing
though
pertinent
discourse
,
and
his
submissive
though
regardful
carriage
,
suggest
of
himself
.
But
〈◊〉
well-manag'd
boldness
is
the
Vertue
of
Monarchick
Courts
,
and
a
discreet
submission
that
of
a
Republican
;
no
advantagious
admission
into
the
one
,
without
the
first
,
nor
safety
in
the
other
,
without
the
second
:
Here
,
if
you
are
bold
,
you
must
look
for
an
Ostracism
:
there
,
if
you
are
modest
,
for
Neglect
:
Yet
a
sober
and
moderate
man
may
be
in
fashion
once
in
an
Age.

Isocrates

finding
himself

was

settled
him
;
and
happiest
of
all
in
the
place
of
his
birth
,
where
he
fell
from
his
Mothers
Womb
to
the
Muses
Lap
,
and
learned
as
soon
as
he
lived
,
being
a
Scholar
sooner
then
he
was
a
man
.
A
German
had
the
care
of
his
younger
studies
,
and
a
Frenchman
of
his
carriage
;
his
parts
being
too
large
to
be
confined
to
the
narrowness
of
English
Rules
,
and
too
sprightly
to
attend
the
tediousness
,
and
creep
by
the
compass
of
an
English
method
.
The

day
was
he
and
Mr.

and
the

His

and
their

led
them
to
the
more
polite
studies
of
the
antient
Orators
and
Historians
;
wherein
they
profited
so
well
,
that
the

was
the
copious

,

of

University

of
the
New
,
and
the
Defenders
of
the
Old
Pronunciation
of
the
Greek
:
the
former
endeavoured
to
give
each
Letter
,
Vowel
and
Dip●thong
its
full
sound
:
whilst
Doctor
Caius
and
others
of
the
Old
stamp
,
cried
out
against
this
Project
,
and
the
Promoters
of
it
;
taxing
It
for
novelty
,
and
Them
for
want
of
experience
,
and
affirming
Greek
it self
to
be
barbarous
,
so
clownishly
uttered
;
and
that
neither
France
,
Germany
nor
Italy
owned
any
such
Pronunciation
.
John
Cheeke
and
Thomas
Smith
maintained
that
this
was
no
Innovation
,
but
the
antient
utterance
of
Greek
,
most
clear
,
and
most
full
.
Chancellour
Gardiner
then
interposed
against
the
Pronunciation
,
and
the
Authors
of
it
:
But
custom
hath
since
prevailed
for
the
use
of
the
one
,
and
the
due
commendation
of
the
other
.
Sir
John
Cheeke's
Authors
were
Isocrates
and
Thucydides
;
his
Auditors
the
youngest
that
came
thither
,
for
Language
;
and
the
oldest
that
heard
him
,
for
his
Discourse
and
Policy
:
The
one
preferred
him
to
the
ample
Provo
〈…〉
ship
of
Kings
,
the
other
to
the
great
Trust
of
Secretary
of
State
:
Prince
Edward
studied
not
his
Book
more
sedulouslously
,
then
he
studied
him
,
that
his
Rules
might
comply
with
his
Inclination
,
and
his
Lectures
with
his
temper
:
Lectures
,
that
were
rather
Discourses
instilled
to
him
Majestically
,
as
a
Prince
;
then
Lessons
beaten
into
him
pedantiquely
,
as
a
School-boy
.
The
wise
man
would
not
be
debasing
his
Royal
Pupils
minde
with
the
nauseated
and
low
crumbs
of
a
Pedant
,
but
ennobling
it
with
the
free
and
high
Maximes
of
a
States-man
;
sugaring
the
more
austere
parts
of
Learning
with
the
pleasures
of
Poetry
,
Discourse
,
Apologues
;
and
so
deceiving
the
Royal
Youth
to
an
improvement
before
his
own
years
,
and
others
comprehension
.
His
very
Recreations
were
useful
,
and
his
Series
of
lighter
exercises
(
for
he
observed
a
method
in
them
too
)
a
constant
study
;
his
Table
,
his

;
his

,
his

:
the

filling
up

it

Observation
were

the

Edward

Diligence

,
Sir
Jo.

Coxe

So
exact
an
account
he
gave
Prince
Edward
of
his
Fathers
Kingdome
,
and
its
Interest
,
that
King
Henry
designed
him
for
Secretary
,
and
King
Edward
made
him
one
.
Three
years
he
had
that
place
;
and
in
that
three
years
did
England
more
service
,
so
great
his
Parts
,
Learning
and

more
kindness
,
such
his
eminency
in
both
!
and
gave
the
people
more
satisfaction
,
such
his
Integrity
and
Dexterity
!
then
all
that
went
before
him
,
and
most
that
came
after
him
.
He
was
the
first
that
brought
in
the
use
of
a
Diary
,
and
his
Pupil
the
next
that
practised
it
:
His
Aphorism
it
was
,
That
a
dark
and
imperfect
reflexion
upon
Affairs
floating
in
the
memory
,
was
like
words
dispersed
and
insignificant
;
whereas
a
compleat
view
of
them
in
a
Book
,
was
like
the
same
words
pointed
in
a
period
,
and
made
significant
.
Much
did
the
Kingdome
value
him
,
but
more
the
King
:
for
being
once
desperately
sick
,
the
King
carefully
enquired
of
him
every
day
;
at
last
his
Physitian
told
him
there
was
no
hope
for
his
life
,
being
given
over
by
him
for
a
dead
man
:
No
,
said
the
King
,
he
will
not
die
at
this
time
;
for
this
morning
I
begged
his
life
from
God
in
my
Prayers
,
and
obtained
it
.
Which
accordingly
came
to
pass
;
and
he
soon
after
,
against
all
expectation
,
wonderfully
recovered
.
This
(
saith
Doctor
Fuller
)
was
attested
by
the
old
Earl
of
Huntington
,
(
bred
up
in
his
child-hood
with
King
Edward
)
to
Sir
Tho.
Cheeke
,
who
anno
1654.
was
alive
,
and
80
years
of
Age.
But
though
his
Prayers
saved
his
Tutors
life
,
none
could
save
his
;
who
died
with
the
Protestant
Religion
in
his
heart
and
arms
:
and
Sir
John
had
died
with
him
,
but
that
being
outed
of
all
his
preserments
,
he
outed
himself
from
the
Kingdome
:
loving
to
all
the
English
Exiles
at
Strasburgh
,
and
well
beloved
all
over
Germany
;
until
trusting
to
the
Stars
too
much
,
(
would
he
had
either
not
gone
so
high
,
or
gone
a
little
higher
for
advice
)
and
his
friends
too
little
,
he
went
to
meet
his
dear
Wife
in
Brabant
;
where
neither
my
Lord
Paget's
promise
,
nor
Sir
John
Mason's
pledges
,
nor
Abbot
Fecknam's
intercession
,
could
excuse
him
from
being
unhorsed
and
carted
,
imprisoned
and
tortured
,
vexed
with
all
the
arts
of
power
,
and
perplexed
,
until
his
hard
usage
meeting
with
some
fair
promises
,
brought
him
to
a
Recantation
that
broke
his
heart
;
and
after
much
melancholick
sighing
and
silence
,
brought
him
to
his
Grave
;
The
great
example
of
Parts
and
Ingenuity
,
of
frailty
and
infirmity
,
of
repentance
and
piety
.
Forced
he
was
to
sit
with
Bonner
in
his
Courts
,
but
forced
he
would
not
be
to
joyn
with
him
in
his
Judgement
:
look
on
he
did
,
but
weep
and
groan
too
.
A
good
Christian
he
was
,
witness
his
pious
Epistles
;
an
excellent
States-man
,
as
appears
by
his
True
Subject
to
the
Rebel
;
a
Book
as
seasonably
republished
(
by
Doctor
Langbaine
of
Queens
Colledge
in
Oxford
)
in
the
excellent
King
Charles
his
troubles
,
as
it
was
at
first
written
in
the
good
King
Edward's
commotions
.
Vespasian
said
of
Apollonius
,
That
his
gate
was
open
to
all
Philosophers
,
but
his
Heart
to
Him
:
And
Sir
John
Cheeke
would
say
to
Father
Latimer
,
I
ha●e
an
Ear
for
other
Divines
,
but
I
have
an
Heart
for
You.
A
Country-man
in
Spain
coming
to
an
Image
enshrined
,
the
extruction
and
first
making
whereof
he
could
well
remember
,
and
not
finding
from
the
same
that
respectful
usage
which
he
expected
,
You
need
not
(
quoth
he
)
be
so
proud
;
for
we
have
kn●wn
you
from
a
Plum-tree
.
Sir
John
Cheeke
one
day
discoursing
of
the
Popes
Threats
,
said
,
He
need
not
be
so
high
;
for
we
have
known
him
a
Chaplain
.
He
took
much
delight
in
that
saying
of
Herod
the
Sophist
,
when
he
was
pained
with
the
Gout
in
his
hands
and
feet
:
When
I
would
eat
,
(
said
he
)
I
have
no
hands
;
when
I
would
go
,
I
have
no
feet
:
but
when
I
must
be
pained
,
I
have
both
hands
and
feet
.
Applying
it
thus
:
When
we
would
serve
God
,
we
have
no
soul
;
when
we
would
serve
our
Neighbours
,
we
have
no
body
:
but
when
we
suffer
for
neglecting
both
,
we
shall
finde
we
have
both
a
body
and
a
soul
.
Gustavus
Adolphus
some
three
days
before
his
death
,
said
,
Our
affairs
answer
our
desires
:
but
I
doubt
God
will
punish
me
for
the
folly
of
my
people
,
who
attribute
too
much
to
me
,
and
esteem
me
as
it
were
their
God
;
and
therefore
he
will
make
them
shortly
know
and
see
I
am
but
a
man
:
I
submit
to
his
will
,
and
I
know
he
will
not
leave
this
great
Enterprise
of
mine
imperfect
.
Three
things
Sir
John
Cheeke
observed
of
Edward
the
sixth
:
1.
That
the
peoples
esteem
of
him
would
loose
him
.
2.
That
his
Reformation
should
be
overthrown
.
3.
That
yet
it
should
recover
,
and
be
finished
.
As
to
Publick
Counsels
:
1.
Sir
John
was
against
the
War
with
Scotland
,
which
he
said
was
rather
to
be
united
to
England
,
then
separated
from
it
.
2.
He
was
against
King
Edwards
Will
,
saying
,
He
would
never
distrust
God
so
far
in
the
preservation
of
his
true
Religion
,
as
to
disinherit
Orphans
,
to
keep
up
Protestantism
.
3.
He
laid
a
Platform
of
a
War
with
Spain
.
4.
He
kept
Neuter
in
the
Court-factions
.

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Thomas
Wentworth
.
SIr
Tho.
Wentworth
of
Nettlested
in
Suffolk
,
so
a
younger
Family
,
(
confessed
by
the
Crescent
in
his
Coat
)
descended
from
the
Wentworths
of
Wentworth-wood-house
in
York-shire
,
and
was
created
Baron
Wentworth
by
King
Henry
8.
He
was
a
stout
and
valiant
Gentleman
,
a
cordial
Protestant
,
and
his
Family
a
Sanctuary
of
such
Professors
;
John
Bale
comparing
him
to
the
good
Centurion
in
the
Gospel
,
and
gratefully
acknowledging
him
the
cause
of
his
conversion
from
a
Carmelite
.
The
memory
of
this
good
Lord
is
much
(
but
unjustly
)
blemished
,
because
Calis
was
lost
the
last
of
Queen
Mary
under
his
Government
:
The
manner
was
huddled
up
in
our
Chronicles
,
(
least
is
best
of
bad
business
)
whereof
this
is
the
effect
:
The
English
being
secure
by
reason
of
the
last
Conquest
at
St.
Quintin
,
and
the
Duke
of
Guise
having
notice
thereof
,
he
sate
down
before
the
Town
at
the
time
(
not
when
Kings
go
forth
to
,
but
return
from
battle
)
of
mid-winter
,
even
upon
New-years-day
.
Next
day
he
took
the
two
Forts
of
Risebank
and
Newman-bridge
,
(
wherein
the
strength
of
the
City
consisted
)
but
whether
they
were
undermined
or
undermoneyed
,
it
is
not
decided
,
and
the
last
left
most
suspitious
.
Within
three
days
the
Castle
of
Calis
,
which
commanded
the
City
,
and
was
under
the
command
of
Sir
Ralph
Chamberlain
,
was
taken
,
the
French
wading
through
the
Ditches
,
(
made
shallower
by
their
artificial
cut
)
and
then
entring
the
Town
,
were
repulsed
back
by
Sir
Anthony
Ager
Marshal
of
Calis
,
the
onely
man
,
saith
Stow
,
who
was
killed
in
the
fight
,
(
understand
him
,
of
note
)
others
,
for
the
credit
of
the
business
,
accounting
fourscore
lost
in
that
service
.
The
French
re-entring
the
City
the
next
day
,
being
Twelfth-day
,
the
Lord
Wentworth
Deputy
thereof
made
but
vain
resistance
,
which
(
alas
)
was
like
the
wrigling
of
a
Worms
tayl
after
the
head
thereof
is
cut
off
;
so
that
he
was
forced
to
take
what
terms
he
could
get
,
viz.
That
the
Towns-men
should
depart
(
though
plundered
to
a
Groat
)
with
their
lives
,
and
himself
with
49
more
,
such
as
the
Duke
of
Guise
should
chuse
,
should
remain
prisoners
to
be
put
to
ransome
.
This
was
the
best
news
brought
to
Paris
,
and
worst
to
London
for
many
years
before
:
It
not
onely
abated
the
Queens
chear
the
remnant
of
Christmas
,
but
her
mirth
all
the
days
of
her
life
.
Yet
might
she
thank
her self
for
loosing
this
Key
of
France
,
because
she
hung
it
by
her
side
with
so
slender
a
string
,
there
being
but
five
hundred
Souldiers
effectually
in
the
Garison
;
too
few
to
manage
such
a
piece
of
importance
.
The
Lord
Wentworth
the
second
of
June
following
,
was
solemnly
condemned
for
Treason
,
though
unheard
,
as
absent
in
France
:
which
was
not
onely
against
Christian
charity
,
but
Roman
justice
;
Festus
confessing
it
was
not
fashionable
amongst
them
to
deliver
any
man
to
die
,
before
he
which
is
accused
have
the
accusers
face
to
face
,
and
have
licence
to
answer
for
himself
concerning
the
crime
laid
against
him
.
It
was
well
for
this
Lord
that
he
was
detained
in
France
till
his
ransome
was
paid
,
and
Queen
Mary
dead
,
who
otherwise
probably
had
lost
his
life
,
if
he
had
had
his
liberty
.
But
Queen
Elizabeth
coming
to
the
Crown
,
he
found
the
favour
,
or
rather
had
the
justice
to
be
tryed
again
,
and
was
acquitted
by
his
Peers
;
finding
it
no
treachery
,
cowardise
or
carelessness
in
him
,
but
in
Sir
John
Harlston
and
Sir
Ralph
Chamberlain
,
the
one
Governour
of
Risebank
,
the
other
of
Calis-Castle
:
for
which
they
were
both
condemned
to
die
,
though
their
judgement
was
remitted
.
This
Lord
was
the
onely
person
I
have
read
of
,
who
thus
in
a
manner
played
Rubbers
when
his
head
lay
at
stake
;
and
having
lost
the
fore
,
recovered
the
after-game
.
He
died
a
very
aged
man
,
1594.
Thus
far
Mr.
Fuller
.
Two
ways
a
Courtier
advanceth
himself
:
the
first
,
that
more
leisurely
,
slow
,
though
sure
,
of
watching
Offices
,
Preferments
and
Dignities
that
may
by
steps
bring
them
to
the
Kings
presence
:
The
second
,
that
more
quick
and
short
,
but
most
practised
,
of
following
the
Court
for
such
extraordinary
Commissions
and
particular
services
to
the
Empire
,
as
may
(
without
the
danger
of
delays
that
must
be
fatal
amidst
so
many
Competitors
)
recommend
him
to
his
favour
.
It
was
below
Sir
Thomas
his
Estate
to
stoop
to
that
first
method
;
it
suited
more
with
his
activity
to
embrace
the
second
.
Two
usually-inconsistent
qualities
he
had
,
The
closeness
of
an
Agent
,
and
The
Valour
of
a
Souldier
.
To
Rome
he
was
sent
in
disguise
,
and
to
Treport
with
an
Army
:
so
graceful
his
carriage
,
so
insinuating
his
affability
,
so
clear
and
well-weighed
his
discourse
,
so
searching
and
comprehensive
his
judgement
;
so
gravely
Aiery
,
so
Majestically
pleasant
his
countenance
,
so
becoming
his
gate
and
apparel
,
so
watchful
his
Negotiations
,
so
winning
his
Addresses
,
so
discreetly
smart
his
Reparties
,
(
darting
a
suddain
lustre
and
vigour
to
the
darkness
and
heaviness
of
his
graver
Discourses
,
neither
common
nor
unsavoury
;
neither
affected
nor
far-fetched
,
neither
abusive
of
others
,
nor
mis-becoming
himself
)
so
discreet
and
well-managed
his
complaisance
,
(
with
reference
to
circumstances
,
person
,
place
,
time
,
matter
and
cause
)
that
he
had
Cardinal
Senhault's
Secretary
,
to
bring
him
to
the
Popes
Closet
;
the
Emperours
Agent
Randolphus
,
to
introduce
him
to
Court
;
that
he
won
Fryar
paul
,
to
shew
him
the
mysteries
of
the
Church
;
Engineer
Palvino
,
to
represent
the
Popes
Cities
,
Towns
,
Fortifications
,
Havens
,
Harbours
,
Antiquities
,
Seminaries
,
Exercises
,
Ships
,
Treasure
,
Armories
,
Arsenals
,
Maga●ines
,
(
having
always
by
him
a
Card
of
the
Territories
)
and
the
Popes
Bedchamber-man
,
to
shew
him
all
the
Papers
and
Transactions
that
concerned
Henry
the
eighth
.
So
well
experienced
his
Conduct
,
so
well
disciplined
his
Army
,
so
watchful
and
industrious
his
Nature
,
so
good
his
pay
,
(
though
he
pawned
,
as
once
in
Normandy
,
his
own
Estate
to
satisfie
his
Souldiers
)
so
noble
his
rewards
of
valour
and
service
,
(
it
being
his
rule
,
That
every
man
should
enjoy
as
much
as
he
could
conquer
)
so
prevalent
his
example
,
that
he
did
more
with
2000
men
in
three
moneths
,
then
the
Duke
of
Suffolk
had
done
with
8000
in
three
years
.
The
Duncery
and
idleness
of
the
Monks
in
his
time
,
(
as
he
writes
himself
)
made
Erasmus
a
Student
:
the
sloth
and
carelesness
of
Commanders
in
Sir
Thomas
his
time
,
made
him
a
Souldier
.
Edward
the
third
of
England
having
sent
to
France
to
demand
the
Crown
by
Maternal
Right
,
the
Council
there
sent
him
word
,
That
the
Crowe
of
France
was
not
tied
to
a
Distaff
.
To
which
he
replyed
,
That
then
be
would
tie
it
to
his
Sword
.
Sir
Thomas
Wentworth
demanding
Normandy
in
right
of
the
Dukes
thereof
,
Kings
of
England
,
was
told
,
That
Dukedomes
were
never
given
away
in
France
by
the
Wills
of
the
Dead
:
Nay
then
,
replyed
he
,
we
will
have
them
against
the
Wills
of
the
Living
.
It
's
written
of
our
Henry
the
fifth
,
that
he
had
something
of
Caesar
in
him
,
which
Alexander
the
Great
had
not
,
That
he
would
not
be
Drunk
;
and
something
of
Alexander
the
Great
,
which
Caes
〈…〉
had
not
,
That
he
would
not
be
Flattered
:
Sir
Th
〈…〉
was
had
both
their
Vertues
,
none
of
their
Vices
;
Non
tam
extra
Vitia
,
quam
cum
summis
Virtutibu
〈…〉
Though
he
could
not
avoid
misfortune
,
and
p
〈…〉
sper
;
yet
he
could
yeild
to
it
,
and
retire
:
(
that
〈◊〉
perienced
File
that
could
not
withstand
the
enemi
〈…〉
shot
,
could
fall
down
and
escape
it
.
)
Privacy
at
once
secured
and
supported
this
unfortunate
Gentleman
.
It
is
much
to
know
how
to
lead
and
bring
on
successfully
;
it
's
more
to
retreat
,
and
come
off
handsomely
,
and
give
over
a
bad
game
.
Since
he
heard
ill
,
I
hear
no
more
of
him
but
this
:
One
being
designed
an
Agent
,
waited
upon
this
knowing
and
experienced
Lord
for
some
Directions
for
his
conduct
and
carriage
;
he
delivereth
himself
(
saith
my
Author
)
thus
:
To
secure
your self
,
T.
F.
p.
9.
and
serve
your
Country
,
you
must
at
all
times
,
and
upon
all
occasions
,
speak
truth
:
for
(
as
he
added
)
you
will
never
be
believed
;
and
by
this
means
your
truth
will
secure
your self
if
you
be
questioned
,
and
put
those
you
deal
with
(
who
will
still
hunt
counter
)
to
a
loss
in
all
their
disquisitions
and
undertakings
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Clement
Paston
.
SIr
Clement
Paston
was
a
Souldier
,
and
a
Souldiers
Son
;
Valour
running
in
the
Blood
for
three
Generations
,
and
maturated
by
Noble
and
Heroick
Actions
for
Glory
and
Success
.
Designed
he
was
by
his
Friends
for
the
Gown
,
but
by
his
own
Nature
for
Armour
:
Born
for
Action
rather
then
Contemplation
.
When
his
Father
asked
him
what
he
would
desire
of
him
,
he
desired
a
Horse
and
a
Sword
.
He
was
tried
in
the
King
of
France
his
service
in
Henry
the
Seventh's
time
,
for
his
overthrow
in
Henry
the
Eighths
.
He
was
the
first
that
made
the
English
Navy
terrible
,
and
the
last
that
made
our
Army
so
:
He
took
the
Admiral
of
France
,
and
saved
him
of
England
:
30000
Crowns
he
received
by
way
of
Ransome
from
the
first
,
and
1000
l.
by
way
of
Gratitude
from
the
other
:
A
Cup
he
would
shew
that
the
first
gave
him
every
Holy-day
,
and
a
Ring
of
the

Two
Kings
made
use
of
his
Person
,
and
two
Queens
of
his
counsel
,
which
he
gave
even
on
his
death-Bed
.
His
advice
was
short
,
but
resolute
;
his
words
few
,
but
pertinent
;
his
discourse
commanding
,
and
Souldier-like
:

King
Henry

him
His

The

Interests
of
Souldiers

his

never

Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Lord
Rich.
HE
must
needs
be
preferred
,
who
was
so
richly
descended
and
nobly
allied
,
as
to
shew
at
Court
upon
his
first
appearance
sixty
Noblemen
and
Knights
of
his
Relation
,
and
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
pound
a
year
revenue
among
his
Friends
.
He
was
more
beholding
to
the
Temple
for
his
Law
,
then
to
the
Universities
for
his
Learning
.
His
severe
and
active
Nature
aspiring
above
the
pedantiqueness
of
a
Scholar
,
to
the
usefulness
of
a
Statesman
:
I
could
never
endure
(
saith
he
)
those
studies
that
furnish
me
onely
with
unactive
thoughts
and
useless
discourse
,
that
teach
me
onely
to
think
and
speak
.
His
staid
and
solid
parts
commended
him
to
Cromwel
,
and
Cromwel
recommended
him
to
King
Henry
the
Eighth
:
He
was
Solicitor-General
to
His
Majesty
,
and
Steward
to
his
Master
:
Cromwel
was
the
Mawl
and
Rich
the
Hammer
of
Abbeys
:
He
laid
open
to
the
Monks
their
faults
,
and
his
Master
made
use
of
it
to
force
them
to
a
surrendry
:
For
as
he
said
,
when
those
religious
Societies
saw
they
had
faults
enough
discovered
to
take
away
their
Lands
,
they
had
wit
enough
to
give
them
up
.
His
Counsels
overthrew
Popery
,
and
his
Deposition
cut
off
Sir
Thomas
More
:
for
being
sent
to
Sir
Thomas
,
after
much
discourse
with
him
,
he
asked
him
this
subtle
Question
,
Whether
be
would
acknowledge
the
King
supreme
Head
if
it
were
enjoyned
by
an
Act
of
Parliament
?
Sir
Thomas
asked
him
〈◊〉
again
,
If
the
Parliament
enacted
that
God
should
〈◊〉
be
Lord
,
whether
he
should
consent
to
it
?
And
those
words
undid
him
.
He
saw
that
the
Protestant
Religion
was
the
interest
of
England
,
as
well
as
the
Doctrine
of
Scripture
;
and
therefore
he
carried
it
on
in
point
of
policy
,
as
Archbishop
Cranmer
di●
in
point
of
conscience
.
King
Henry
the
eighth
admired
his
distinct
reasoning
,
and
stayed
judgement
and
Queen
Anne
Bullen
was
taken
with
his
grace
〈…〉
cloquence
,
and
ingenious
discourses
:
In
the
morning
his
plyant
soul
,
that
could
answer
all
the
turnings
and
windings
of
business
,
was
as
reserved
and
solid
as
that
of
a
demure
States-man
;
in
the
evening
,
as
cheerful
and
merry
as
that
of
a
Debona
〈…〉
Courtier
.
He
was
the
wisdome
of
the
Court
in
the
Presence
,
and
its
wit
in
the
Closet
;
its
Oracle
there
,
and
its
pleasure
here
.
King
Henry
the
eighth
made
him
one
of
his
L●gators
,
and
King
Edward
the
sixth
one
of
his
Council
:
Under
him
he
carried
on
the
Protestant
Religion
in
point
of
conscience
,
which
others
managed
in
point
of
interest
.
He
designed
the
degrees
of
the
Reformation
,
and
he
set
out
its
method
,
then
whom
none
more
zealous
in
things
necessary
,
none
more
moderate
in
things
indifferent
.
Active
he
was
,
but
wary
;
stirring
,
but
cautious
.
To
him
the
Reformers
resorted
in
point
of
Law
,
as
to
Cranmer
and
Ridley
in
point
of
Religion
.
Such
his
Prudence
,
that
the
Protector
made
him
his
Friend
;
such
his
Integrity
,
that
the
King
made
him
Chancellour
:
where
his
Decrees
were
just
,
his
Dispatches
quick
,
his
Judgements
speedy
,
his
Sums
of
Debates
full
and
satisfactory
,
his
Sentences
irreversible
;
his
Assistants
in
the
Rolls
,
and
other
Courts
,
able
and
honest
.
None
more
complyant
to
Reason
,
none
more
stiff
in
things
against
Reason
:
He
would
do
any
thing
for
King
Edward
the
sixth's
interest
,
nothing
for
Duke
Dudley's
ambition
;
therefore
he
observing
the
course
of
Affairs
,
would
rather
resigne
his
Place
,
then
his
Integrity
:
when
he
could
not
with
a
safe
conscience
keep
it
,
he
with
a
contented
minde
parted
with
it
;
being
honoured
with
the
Barony
of
Leez
,
and
enriched
with
the
Western
Abbies
;
it
being
the
Prudence
of
that
time
to
interest
the
Nobility
in
the
Papal
Revenues
,
that
so
they
might
be
engaged
against
the
Authority
.
R.
Rich
Lord
Chancellour
,
(
saith
my
Author
)
then
living
in
Great
St.
Bartholomews
,
though
outwardly
concurring
with
the
rest
,
began
now
secretly
to
favour
the
Duke
of
Somerset
,
and
sent
him
a
Letter
,
therein
acquainting
him
with
all
passages
at
the
Council-board
,
subscribing
the
same
(
either
out
of
haste
or
familiarity
)
with
no
other
Direction
save
To
the
Duke
;
enjoyning
his
servant
,
a
new
Attendant
,
as
newly
entred
into
his
Family
,
safely
to
deliver
it
.
The
man
made
more
haste
then
good
speed
;
and
his
Lord
wondring
at
his
quick
return
,
demanded
of
him
where
the
Duke
was
when
he
delivered
him
the
Letter
:
In
the
Charter-house
,
(
said
the
servant
)
on
the
same
token
that
he
read
it
at
the
Window
,
and
smiled
thereat
.
But
the
Lord
Rich
smiled
not
at
the
Relation
,
as
sadly
sensible
of
the
mistake
,
and
delivery
of
the
Letter
to
the
Duke
of
Norfolk
,
no
great
friend
of
his
,
and
an
utter
enemy
to
the
Duke
of
Somerset
.
Wonder
not
if
this
Lord
rose
early
up
the
next
morning
,
who
may
be
presumed
not
to
have
slept
all
night
:
He
hieth
to
the
Court
;
and
having
gotten
admittance
into
the
Bedchamber
before

King
was
up
,
fell
down
on
his
knees
,
and
desired
that
his
Old
Age
might
be
eased
of
this
burthen
▪
some
Office
;
pleading
that
there
ought
to
be
some
preparatory
intervals
in
States-men
between
their
temporal
business
and
their
death
:
in
order
to
which
,
he
desired
to
retire
to
Essex
,
there
to
attend
his
own
Devotions
.
Nor
would
he
rise
from
the
ground
till
the
King
had
granted
his
Request
.
And
thus
he
saved
himself
from
being
stripped
by
others
,
by
first
pulling
off
his
own
cloaths
,
who
otherwise
had
lost
his
Chancellours
place
for
revealing
the
secrets
of
the
Council-board
.
There
are
few
places
so
impregnable
,
but
Nature
hath
left
in
them
some
place
or
other
by
which
they
may
be
taken
:
none
being
armed
at
all
points
so
well
,
but
there
is
some
way
left
whereby
he
may
be
surprized
.
He
is
the
strongest
that
hath
fewest
accesses
.
He
was
a
wise
man
that
said
,
Delay
hath
undone
many
for
the
other
world
,
Haste
hath
undone
more
for
this
,
Time
well
managed
saves
all
in
both
.
But
there
is
a
Wheel
in
things
,
which
undoeth
all
those
that
have
not
a
Wheel
that
answereth
it
in
their
Souls
;
I
mean
a
great
capacity
to
comply
and
close
with
those
grand
Vicissitudes
that
with
small
and
unobserved
circumstances
turn
round
the
World
,
which
this
great
Man
was
Master
of
,
who
had
his
eye
upon
the
turns
,
flexures
and
poynts
of
things
and
business
,
and
his
state
and
interest
ready
to
correspond
:
He
knew
when
to
proceed
,
when
to
make
a
stand
,
and
when
to
retire
.
It
's
said
of
Grandees
,
That
they
are
the
first
that
finde
their
own
Griefs
,
and
the
last
that
finde
their
faults
:
Our
Lord
was
quick
in
both
,
and
hath
taught
us
this
,
That
certainly
men
of
great
fortunes
are
strangers
to
themselves
;
and
while
they
are
in
the
puzzle
of
business
have
no
time
to
tend
the
welfare
either
of
Body
or
Soul
;
and
that
they
must
withdraw
from
this
world
,
before
they
retire
into
another
:
For
,
Illi
mors
gravis
incubat
,
qui
notus
nimis
omnibus
,
ignotus
moritur
sibi
.
There
are
no
more
Remarques
of
this
Noble
Personage
,
than
that
he
was
the
Father
of
this
Apophthegme
,
Well
done
,
if
warily
;
and
Great
Grand-father
to
the
present
Earl
of
Warwick
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
John
Mason
.
HE
had
his
Birth
at
Abingdon
,
and
his
Education
at
Oxford
:
His
Birth
commended
him
to
All-Souls
,
and
his
Breeding
to
the
Court
:
His
Study
was
like
his
Inclination
,
rather
active
then
contemplative
,
his
present
thoughts
foreseeing
and
providing
for
his
future
Employments
.
But
Industry
and
Parts
may
prepare
a
man
,
it
is
opportunity
and
occasion
that
must
advance
him
;
and
never
had
a
man
fairer
opportunity
,
never
made
a
man
better
use
of
it
.
None
but
Mr.
Mason
would
the
University
pitch
upon
,
to
complement
Henry
the
Eighth
;
none
but
Mr.
Mason
could
please
him
,
although
he
was
as
great
a
Scholar
as
he
was
a
King
,
and
as
much
an
Humorist
as
both
:
as
he
was
inclined
,
so
he
studied
;
as
he
studied
,
so
he
writ
;
not
with
a
Pedants
impertinence
,
but
a
Statesmans
prudence
:
so
elegant
was
his
Latine
,
that
a
Critick
would
have
advanced
him
Professor
;
so
various
his
Learning
,
that
Cranmer
would
have
preferred
him
Prebend
;
and
yet
so
grave
and
wise
the
matter
and
composure
of
his
speech
,
that
the
King
designed
him
a
Statesman
.
When
King
Henry
the
Eighth
came
to
Oxford
,
Sir
John
is
deputed
to
congratulate
his
coming
:
who
considering
that
a
man
cannot
every
day
speak
to
Kings
,
contrived
(
saith
my
Author
)
the
matter
of
his
speech
most
manlike
,
politick
and
pertinent
,
the
phrase
of
it
polite
and
majestick
;
so
that
what
with
his
comely
presence
,
his
becoming
carriage
,
his
flowing
expression
,
his
graceful
elocution
,
he
gained
that
applause
from
the
Court
and
University
,
that
the
one
was
as
eager
to
have
him
,
as
the
other
was
loth
to
part
with
him
:
the
University
was
proud
of
him
,
but
King
Henry
commanded
him
,
and
disposeth
of
him
in
forreign
parts
,
to
adde
practi
〈…〉
experience
to
his
speculative
studies
:
It
was
the
excellent
way
of
that
time
,
to
pick
out
the
choice
youths
of
both
Universities
,
and
maintain
then
some
years
abroad
,
to
make
such
Observations
as
might
render
them
serviceable
at
home
.
Dwelt
with
Books
he
had
long
enough
,
now
he
must
converse
with
men
,
and
open
his
recluse
and
retired
soul
,
to
a
practicable
and
social
temper
,
by
debonairness
and
freedom
,
too
long
mewed
up
with
study
and
melancholy
:
Think
and
speak
he
could
very
well
already
,
now
he
must
learn
to
act
and
live
:
Books
furnished
,
Travel
must
enlarge
and
settle
his
soul
.
Four
things
made
a
Statesman
in
those
dayes
:
-
1.
The
University
and
good
Letters
.
-
2.
The
City
and
Converse
.
-
3.
The
Court
and
Freedom
of
spirit
.
-
4.
Travel
and
Observation
.
It
was
the
politick
Discipline
of
those
days
to
select
(
saith
mine
Author
)
the
pregnancies
of
either
Vniversity
,
and
breed
them
in
forreign
parts
for
publick
Employments
.
Agreeable
whereunto
,
Mr.
Mason
is
sent
beyond
sea
with
Instructions
to
guide
him
,
and
a
Pension
to
support
him
:
With
Order
,
1.
To
keep
exact
correspondence
with
the
Secretary
at
home
.
2.
To
entertain
1.
the
most
eminent
Scholar
,
who
might
represent
the
Church
:
2.
the
ripest
Undersecretary
,
who
might
decipher
to
him
the
●tate
:
3.
the
ablest
Souldier
and
Seaman
,
that
might
open
to
him
the
Interest
of
both
Nations
.
3.
To
take
an
exact
account
of
the
Havens
,
Forts
,
Cities
,
Avenues
,
Passages
,
Ways
,
Treasure
and
Interest
of
the
place
he
lives
in
.
4.
To
follow
the
respective
Embassadors
Directions
in
every
Court
.
5.
To
appear
in
each
place
upon
any
solemnity
,
Civil
or
Military
,
suitable
to
the
occasion
,
all
charges
to
be
defrayed
from
the
English
Exchequer
.
His
Pension
was
two
hundred
and
twenty
pounds
a
year
;
his
Circuit
wa●
France
,
the
Netherlands
and
Italy
;
his
Commission
was
to
engage
any
knowing
person
of
those
respective
Courts
that
could
transcribe
their
Edicts
or
Orders
,
give
exact
Intelligence
,
make
any
Interest
,
or
had
any
influence
upon
their
respective
Governments
:
His
Rules
were
,
1.
To
correspond
with
his
Majesties
Agents
.
2.
To
have
few
and
choice
Acquaintance
.
3.
To
make
Collections
of
,
and
Observations
upon
the
Histories
,
the
Laws
,
Customs
,
and
the
most
considerable
Statesmen
,
Governours
,
and
Great
men
,
with
their
Relations
and
Dependencies
in
those
Courts
.
4.
To
give
a
monthly
account
of
such
Remarques
as
occurred
,
at
large
to
the
Secretary
,
and
in
brief
to
the
King
and
Cardinal
.
His
first
undertaking
was
in
France
,
where
his
Gravity
was
too
severe
,
beyond
the
dalliances
of
that
place
.
His
next
was
to
Italy
,
where
he
shewed
as
great
a
reach
in
countermining
,
as
the
inhabitants
of
that
place
do
in
managing
their
plot
:
None
designs
(
saith
the
Character
)
further
off
then
the
Italian
:
None
seeth
(
said
Sir
Tho.
Audley
)
further
off
then
Sir
John
Mason
.
His
last
voyage
was
to
Spain
,
where
he
out
-
grav'd
the
Don
Himself
,
and
then
returned
with
the
Italians
quickness
,
the
Spaniards
staidness
,
the
Frenchmans
Ayr
,
the
Germans
Resolution
,
and
the
Dutchmans
Industry
:
Qualities
that
demonstrated
he
understood
other
Countreys
,
and
could
serve
his
own
.
There
this
pregnant
Gentleman
being
at
some
distance
,
could
look
more
inwardly
into
the
Constitution
,
Situation
,
Interest
,
State
and
Complexion
of
his
own
Countrey
;
and
being
near
,
could
discern
those
of
other
parts
with
the
mutual
aspect
of
England
upon
them
,
and
theirs
upon
it
.
They
that
lived
in
those
times
say
that
none
understood
the
affairs
of
England
and
France
,
together
with
their
mutual
advantages
or
disadvantages
,
better
than
Sir
John
Mason
.
He
that
had
seen
the
mysteries
of
four
Courts
,
might
be
trusted
with
those
of
one
,
as
he
was
in
King
Henry
the
Eighth's
time
,
in
the
capacity
of
a
Privy
Counsellour
;
and
in
Edward
the
Sixth's
,
in
the
Trust
of
chief
Secretary
.
At
the
Board
,
none
clearer
in
his
Proposals
;
in
his
Office
,
none
quicker
for
Dispatch
:
Let
me
hear
Sir
John
Mason
,
said
the
King
;
Let
us
to
Sir
John
Mason
,
said
the
Subjects
:
so
much
the
reputation
of
his
prudent
integrity
with
the
one
,
and
of
his
familiar
access
with
the
other
!
Four
things
he
said
kept
him
in
,
under
all
the
Revolutions
,
during
the
four
Princes
Reigns
whom
he
served
:
-
1.
That
he
thought
few
Things
would
save
a
man
.
-
2.
That
he
was
always
intimate
with
the
exactest
Lawyer
,
and
ablest
Favourite
.
-
3.
That
he
spake
little
,
and
writ
less
.
-
4.
That
he
had
attained
to
something
which
each
party
esteemed
serviceable
to
them
,
and
was
so
moderate
,
that
all
thought
him
their
own
.
When
a
compleat
man
,
he
was
called
home
,
to
be
first
Clerk
of
the
Council
,
a
place
of
great
Trust
;
secondly
,
Secretary
of
State
,
a
place
of
great
Employment
;
thirdly
,
Master
of
the
Requests
,
an
Office
of
great
Dispatch
and
Business
;
and
fourthly
,
Treasurer
of
the
Houshold
,
an
Employment
of
constant
care
.
No
Age
wanted
an
able
man
more
,
no
Age
had
one
more
willing
to
secure
the
Universities
,
than
that
which
chose
him
to
be
Chancellour
of
Oxford
,
at
the
same
time
that
his
Prince
made
him
Treasurer
of
the
Houshold
.
Sacriledge
it self
then
gaping
after
the
University-Lands
,
durst
not
tempt
so
honest
a
Man
,
nor
perswade
so
great
a
Scholar
,
nor
fright
so
resolute
a
Statesman
to
betray
or
yeild
up
those
ancient
Encouragements
of
Learning
and
Vertue
.
Loth
was
Oxford
to
part
with
him
when
a
Scholar
,
glad
to
entertain
him
a
Statesman
,
with
a
power
to
protect
her
,
well
tempered
with
Obligations
to
love
her
;
he
who
is
now
the
Father
being
lately
the
Son
;
maintained
by
a
part
of
it
,
as
he
now
maintained
the
whole
.
That
was
a
scrambling
time
,
when
it
was
catch
who
catch
can
.
I
finde
not
any
particular
favour
conferred
,
or
benefaction
bestowed
by
him
in
person
on
the
University
;
but
this
great
good
he
did
,
That
his
Greatness
kept
others
from
doing
any
harm
.
Many
hungry
Courtiers
had
hopes
to
catch
Fish
,
(
and
Fish
it
would
be
,
whatever
came
into
their
Nets
)
on
this
turning
of
the
tide
,
and
alteration
of
Religion
:
How
easie
was
it
for
covetousness
in
those
times
to
quarrel
the
Colledge-Lands
into
superstition
!
Sacriledge
stood
ready
to
knock
at
their
Gates
;
and
alas
!
't
was
past
their
Porter's
power
to
forbid
it
enterance
,
had
not
Sir
John
Mason
vigorously
opposed
it
,
and
assisted
the
University
on
all
occasions
.
He
inciteth
them
to
the
study
of
the
Tongues
;
because
sensum
alicujus
rei
non
potest
ille
assequi
qui
rudis
est
Idiomatis
quo
traditur
:
and
directed
the
reading
of
Aristotle
,
Agricola
,
Melanc●bon
,
&c.
instead
of
Scotus
,
Burleus
,
Bricot
:
calling
for
all
their
Charters
,
Donations
,
Satutes
,
Popes
Bulls
,
with
an
exact
Rental
of
their
Lands
,
and
Inventory
of
their
Goods
,
which
were
restored
intire
and
safe
.
The
University
,
that
could
not
enjoy
his
presence
,
craves
his
protection
;
and
foreseeing
in
the
fall
of
Abbeys
,
their
danger
,
especially
when
Foundations
erected
for
superstition
were
given
by
statute
to
the
King
,
chose
Sir
John
Mason
their
Chancellour
,
who
was
at
once
a
Favourite
of
Power
and
of
Learning
;
the
greatest
Lay-Statesman
that
was
a
Scholar
,
and
the
greatest
Scholar
that
was
a
Lay-States-man
:
He
was
not
contented
to
secure
,
but
he
must
improve
Oxford
,
gaining
it
New
Priviledges
,
when
it
feared
the
loss
of
its
old
ones
.
A
grave
and
reserved
man
he
was
,
who
understood
the
Intrigues
and
Motions
of
those
dark
and
uncertain
times
,
and
his
nimble
and
present
Prudence
could
accommodate
them
.
His
Maxime
was
,
Do
,
and
say
nothing
:
Commending
the
active
and
close
man
,
whose
performances
were
as
private
,
coherent
,
continued
and
suddain
as
his
counsels
;
who
would
not
spend
that
time
in
advising
,
that
would
serve
for
executing
:
Many
were
his
pensions
to
Scholars
at
home
,
more
to
Agents
abroad
that
assisted
either
his
studies
or
employments
,
whom
he
designed
an
honour
to
his
middle
,
and
a
support
to
his
old
age
.
He
had
a
peculiar
way
of
satisfying
suiters
by
plain
dealing
and
dispatch
:
he
would
divide
all
suits
either
into
matter
of
Equity
,
or
a
suit
of
Controversie
;
or
into
matter
of
Desert
,
or
a
suit
of
Petition
:
In
the
first
he
had
his
Referrendaries
,
to
see
the
matter
compounded
between
both
Parties
,
rather
then
carried
by
either
:
In
the
second
,
he
preferred
all
suitably
to
their
Abilities
.
No
man
understood
better
the
nature
of
Court-places
than
he
,
and
none
saw
further
into
Court-Persons
.
Two
things
,
he
said
,
always
promoted
a
matter
:
-
1.
Secresie
:
(
Boasting
,
which
is
the
way
of
some
Courtiers
,
though
it
discourageth
some
Competitors
,
yet
it
awakeneth
Others
.
)
-
2.
Timing
of
it
,
with
an
Eye
to
those
about
us
.
He
would
advise
a
Man
to
begin
with
a
little
and
mean
suit
:
For
though
(
as
my
Lord
Bacon
observes
)
iniquum
petas
&
aquum
feras
,
is
a
good
Rule
,
where
a
man
hath
strength
of
favour
;
yet
otherwise
a
man
had
better
rise
in
his
suit
:
For
he
that
would
have
ventured
at
first
to
have
lost
his
Suitor
,
will
not
in
the
conclusion
lose
both
the
Suitor
and
his
own
former
Favour
.
It
's
from
him
,
while
he
lived
,
that
we
learned
Celerity
is
the
best
Secresie
;
Prudence
and
Resolution
is
the
onely
Fortune
;
Converse
is
the
great
Education
;
Boldness
a
mans
surest
Success
;
Good
Nature
is
the
eminent
Nobility
;
and
a
well-weighed
Honesty
the
onely
Favourite
.
It
's
by
him
,
when
he
died
,
we
are
taught
that
Moderation
out-lasts
Violence
,
Modesty
Ambition
,
a
Publique
Spirit
a
Private
One
:
That
to
act
alone
may
be
as
Profitable
as
Honourable
,
but
to
joyn
with
others
,
most
safe
:
That
to
study
the
nature
of
a
Prince
,
may
for
the
present
advance
;
but
to
understand
the
Interest
of
his
Kingdom
,
is
always
secure
:
The
one
way
being
as
uncertain
as
the
frail
Person
it
depends
upon
,
the
other
as
sure
as
the
lasting
State
it
serves
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
William
Stamford
.
SIr
William
Stamford
was
of
Straffordian
extraction
;
Robert
his
Grandfather
living
at
Rowley
in
that
County
:
but
William
his
Father
was
a
Merchant
in
London
,
and
purchased
Lands
at
Hadley
in
Middlesex
,
where
Sir
William
was
born
August
22.
1509.
He
was
bred
to
the
study
of
our
Municipal
Laws
;
attaining
so
much
eminence
therein
,
that
he
was
preferred
one
of
the
Judges
of
the
Common
Pleas.
His
most
learned
Book
of
The
Pleas
of
the
Crown
,
hath
made
him
for
ever
famous
amongst
men
of
his
own
Profession
.
There
is
a
spirit
of
retraction
of
one
to
his
Native
County
,
which
made
him
purchase
Lands
,
and
his
son
settle
himself
in
Straffordshire
.
This
worthy
Judge
died
Aug.
28.
and
was
buried
at
Hadley
in
this
Shire
,
in
the
last
year
of
the
reign
of
Queen
Mary
,
1558.
King
Iames
had
a
Judge
that
would
give
no
money
,
and
King
Henry
had
one
that
would
take
none
.
There
have
been
those
Lawyers
that
turned
the
point
of
Law
upon
the
Law
it self
;
that
wounded
the
Eagle
with
a
feather
from
his
own
Wing
,
and
stabbed
the
person
of
Princes
with
their
Authority
;
that
dethroned
Kings
with
a
moot-point
,
and
overthrowed
a
Government
at
a
Reading
.
This
Judge
understood
,
that
as
the
Law
is
the
security
of
the
people
,
so
Prerogative
is
the
strength
of
the
Law
;
and
that
that
is
the
best
temper
of
Government
where
Kings
have
so
much
power
to
do
evil
,
that
they
may
be
able
to
do
good
.
Miserable
experience
hath
taught
us
,
that
since
power
hath
been
wrested
from
Princes
,
that
neither
they
nor
their
people
can
be
safe
,
if
both
be
not
in
such
a
way
as
the
Law
hath
intrusted
the
publick
safety
and
welfare
;
which
consists
in
a
full
power
belonging
to
the
King
,
to
secure
Liberties
,
preserve
Property
,
and
protect
their
People
in
the
enjoyment
of
the
fruits
of
their
industry
,
and
the
benefit
of
those
Laws
to
which
themselves
have
consented
.
He
sets
himself
good
Rules
,
as
well
to
create
good
presidents
,
as
to
follow
them
;
reducing
things
to
their
first
institution
,
and
observing
wherein
and
how
they
have
degenerated
:
yet
still
taking
counsel
of
both
times
;
of
the
ancienter
time
,
what
is
best
;
and
of
the
latter
,
what
is
fittest
.
He
made
his
course
regular
,
that
men
might
know
what
to
expect
;
but
not
peremptory
,
that
Knaves
might
not
know
how
to
impose
upon
him
:
always
expressing
himself
well
,
when
he
digressed
from
his
Rule
.
Preserve
the
right
of
his
place
he
would
,
but
not
stir
Questions
of
Jurisdictions
;
rather
assuming
his
right
in
silence
,
and
de
facto
,
then
voice
it
with
claims
and
challenges
.
He
directed
in
most
Affairs
,
but
was
busie
in
none
:
none
readier
to
give
,
none
readier
to
take
helps
and
advices
.
His
speech
was
more
discreet
then
eloquent
;
rather
particularly
suitable
to
the
present
things
and
persons
,
then
generally
orderly
and
artificial
.
He
could
speak
quick
and
deep
too
,
never
using
many
circumstances
,
lest
he
were
tedious
;
ever
some
,
lest
he
were
blunt
:
so
warily
did
he
deliver
what
he
knew
,
that
he
was
sometimes
thought
to
know
what
he
did
not
.
He
knew
what
might
be
said
,
so
good
his
fancy
;
and
he
knew
what
should
be
thought
,
so
great
his
judgement
:
commanding
the
discourse
where-ever
he
was
,
by
that
prudence
that
could
bring
it
on
and
off
;
and
that
variety
that
happily
intermingled
Arguments
with
Tales
,
Reasons
with
Opinions
,
and
earnest
with
jest
.
His
Decrees
were
the
Hedges
of
Propriety
,
his
Dispatches
cool
,
his
Cases
rightly
stated
;
his
Reports
savour
of
Integrity
and
Prudence
,
of
Books
and
Men.
How
discreetly
would
he
moderate
the
rigorous
circumstances
of
Petty
and
Poenal
Laws
!
how
exactly
observe
the
designe
and
drift
of
the
more
fundamental
and
reasonable
!
Here
no
Intrigues
to
perplex
,
no
Attendance
to
tire
,
no
Hazards
to
discourage
,
no
Checks
or
Delays
to
vex
,
no
surreptitious
advantages
to
surprize
;
no
defeats
of
hopes
,
or
falseness
of
friends
to
disappoint
;
no
negligence
of
Agents
,
or
interest
of
Parties
to
betray
;
no
Oratory
or
Sophism
to
varnish
or
hide
a
matter
:
all
things
clear
as
Justice
,
and
smooth
as
Integrity
.
By
diligence
and
moderation
,
with
their
gentle
degrees
and
augmentations
,
and
his
own
watchful
observance
,
he
climbed
to
Excellency
.
A
man
is
neither
good
,
nor
rich
,
nor
wise
at
once
;
it
being
a
double
work
to
be
great
:
1.
To
remove
Obstruction
,
and
accommodate
Adversaries
:
2.
To
watch
and
assume
the
advantage
.
What
is
longest
in
proving
,
is
longest
declining
:
the
Rose
that
buds
one
day
,
withereth
the
next
:
The
Oak
that
is
an
Age
a
growing
,
is
five
standing
.
He
had
those
lower
Vertues
that
drew
praise
from
the
Vulgar
,
which
he
neglected
,
(
knowing
that
they
were
more
taken
with
appearances
then
realities
)
he
had
middle
that
they
admired
,
and
good
men
observed
;
he
had
his
highest
Vertues
,
which
they
perceived
,
and
great
men
honoured
:
In
a
word
,
a
fragrant
fume
he
had
,
that
filled
all
round
about
,
and
would
not
easily
away
.
Although
he
despised
the
Flatterer
praise
,
as
base
;
and
avoided
the
Cunnings
,
as
dangerous
;
yet
he
would
say
of
a
deserved
Fame
,
That
being
nothing
,
or
but
ayr
at
best
,
it
doth
all
:
for
it
's
sufficient
to
breed
Opinion
,
and
Opinion
brings
on
substance
.
He
observed
of
himself
,
that
he
came
very
hardly
to
little
Riches
,
and
very
easily
to
great
Riches
:
For
when
a
mans
Stock
is
come
to
that
,
as
my
Lord
Verulam
observes
,
that
he
can
expect
the
prime
of
the
Markets
,
and
overcome
those
Bargains
which
for
their
greatness
are
few
mens
money
,
and
be
Partners
in
the
Industries
of
younger
men
,
he
cannot
but
mainly
increase
with
those
two
Advancers
of
Gain
,
1.
Diligence
;
and
,
2.
A
good
Name
.
He
hath
left
these
two
Principles
behind
him
for
See
Ep.
ad
Lect.
Lees
Plees
des
Coron.
those
of
his
own
profession
:
1.
That
that
they
should
reduce
every
Statute
to
the
Common
Law
and
Custome
whereon
it
is
grounded
.
2.
That
they
should
as
well
look
into
the
History
of
former
times
for
the
Reasons
and
Circumstances
of
our
Laws
,
as
into
their
Law-books
for
the
matter
of
them
.
Some
Lawyers
assert
the
Subjects
Liberty
,
and
retrench
the
Prerogative
(
as
too
much
power
to
be
trusted
for
a
mortal
man
)
within
the
known
Limits
of
Law
,
that
so
Subjects
may
be
at
a
certainty
how
to
square
their
Loyalty
and
Obedience
.
He
always
upheld
that
Prerogative
,
saying
,
That
the
discretion
of
the
Scepter
as
Guardian
for
the
general
good
of
the
Commonwealth
,
must
be
trusted
against
all
Emergencies
,
with
the

His
Book
containeth
two
parts
;
One
of
The
Pleas
of
the
Crown
,
the
other
of
The
Kings
Prerogative
.
In
him
(
saith
Mr.
Fulbeck
)
there
is
force
and
weight
,
and
no
common
kinde
of
stile
;
in
matter
very
few
have
gone
beyond
him
,
in
method
none
have
overtaken
him
:
in
the
order
of
his
writing
he
is
smooth
,
yet
sharp
;
pleasant
,
yet
grave
:
and
surely
his
method
may
be
a
Law
to
the
Writers
that
succeed
him
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
John
Jeffrey
.
SIr
Iohn
Ieffrey
was
born
in
Sussex
,
where
he
left
behind
him
a
fair
Estate
to
his
Daughter
.
He
so
profited
in
the
Study
of
our
Municipal
Law
,
that
he
was
preferred
secondary
Judge
of
the
Common
Pleas
,
and
thence
advanced
by
Queen
Elizabeth
,
in
Michaelmas-Term
,
the
nineteenth
of
her
Reign
,
to
be
Lord
Chief
Baron
of
the
Exchequer
:
which
place
he
discharged
for
the
Term
of
two
years
,
to
his
great
commendation
.
He
le
〈…〉
one
Daughter
and
Heir
,
married
to
Sir
Edward
Montague
,
(
since
Baron
of
Boughton
)
by
whom
he
had
but
one
Daughter
,
Elizabeth
,
married
to
Robert
Barty
Earl
of
Lindsey
,
Mother
to
the
truly
honourable
Montague
Earl
of
Lindsey
,
and
Lord
great
Chamberlain
of
England
.
This
worthy
Judge
died
in
the
21
of
Queen
Elizabeth
.
This
was
he
who
was
called
the
Plodding
Student
,
whose
industry
perfected
Nature
,
and
was
perfected
by
experience
.
He
read
not
to
argue
onely
;
for
that
is
vanity
:
nor
to
believe
and
trust
for
that
is
easiness
:
nor
to
discourse
;
for
that
is
idle
:
but
to
weigh
and
consider
;
for
that
is
prudence
.
He
had
his
Studies
for
pleasure
and
privacy
,
for
ornament
and
converse
,
and
for
judgement
and
business
.
To
spend
too
much
time
on
his
Book
,
was
sloth
;
to
talk
by
Book
,
was
affected
;
and
to
act
by
it
,
was
humoursome
and
Scholar-like
Four
things
he
would
say
helped
him
.
1.
His
Inclination
:

of
those

that

)
2.
Method
.
3.
Religion
,
with
that
just
and
composed
mind
that
attends
it
.
4.
A
great
happiness
in
all
the
four
faculties
that
make
a
Lawyer
:
1.
A
sharp
invention
,
and
clear
apprehension
to
search
all
the
circumstances
of
a
case
propounded
.
2.
Judgement
to
examine
and
weigh
the
particulars
invented
and
apprehended
:
for
truth
lieth
in
things
,
as
Gold
in
Mines
.
3.
Memory
to
retain
what
is
judged
and
examined
.
4.
A
prompt
and
ready
delivery
of
what
is
conceived
and
retained
,
set
out
with
ingenuity
and
gravity
.
Oratio
praesta
non
audax
.
What
he
said
,
was
close
and
pinching
,
and
not
confident
and
earnest
;
allowing
passion
not
to
disturb
either
the
method
or
delivery
of
his
discourse
,
but
to
quicken
it
.
To
speak
well
and
much
,
he
said
,
was
not
the
work
of
one
man
:
yet
if
a
Philosopher
be
eloquent
,
said
Cicero
,
we
must
not
despise
him
;
if
he
be
not
,
he
must
not
affect
it
,
so
that
he
can
comprehend
in
words
what
he
conceiveth
,
and
speak
them
plainly
,
that
he
may
be
understood
.
His
Latine
and
French
were
Grammatical
,
his
Rhetorick
Natural
,
his
Logick
Reason
:
The
first
,
opened
the
terms
;
the
second
,
pressed
the
vigour
;
the
last
,
collected
and
disposed
of
the
Axiomes
,
Grounds
and
Rules
of
the
Law
,
and
all
prepared
him
for
that
comprehensive
Profession
;
in
the
ashes
whereof
,
the
sparks
of
all
other
Sciences
were
raked
up
.
His
gesture
and
habit
was
grave
,
but
not
affected
;
speaking
as
much
to
the
eye
,
as
his
tongue
did
to
the
ear
:
(
the
gesture
being
a
great
discoverer
of
the
constitution
,
and
a
great
direction
to
business
:
what
a
man
misseth
in
the
speech
,
he
may
sometimes
find
in
the
looks
)
His
temper
was
moderate
and
sober
;
a
Vertue
,
and
a
seasoning
of
all
others
,
attended
with
the
Lawyers
gift
,
and
that
is
Patience
.
Modest
he
was
,
but
not
fondly
bashful
;
his
prudence
,
and
not
his
softness
.
His
humility
begat
affableness
;
his
affableness
,
society
;
that
,
conference
;
conference
,
parts
,
and
they
acquaintance
;
and
that
,
practice
;
and
practice
,
experience
;
experience
,
renown
;
and
that
,
preferment
.
Sir
John's
inclination
was
studious
;
his
minde
,
constant
,
solid
,
and
setled
,
and
able
to
dive
into
the
whirl-pools
of
that
intricate
and
perplexed
Faculty
;
his
thoughts
being
orderly
,
and
his
conceptions
methodical
:
his
search
comprehensive
,
avoiding
Epitomes
,
as
the
banes
of
Learning
.

Considerable
were
the
Parts
he
had
,
but
more
so
the
making
up
of
those
he
had
not
:
his
covering
of
his
defects
being
of
no
less
importance
then
the
valuing
of
good
Parts
,
which
he
did
three
ways
:
-
1.
By
caution
,
ingeniously
and
discreetly
waving
and
putting
off
things
improper
.
-
2.
By
colour
,
making
his
Defects
his
Vertues
,
and
his
Faults
his
Endowments
.
And
-
3.
By
that
freedom
of
Spirit
that
daunts
the
weakest
,
and
prevaileth
with
the
wisest
.
He
proposed
to
himself
five
things
to
enquire
into
,
Vid.

in
order
to
that
compleatness
he
arrived
unto
:
1.
The
ancient
Maximes
and
Principles
,
or
the
more
ancient
Customs
that
make
up
the
Common
Law
of
England
.
2.
The
Acts
and
Constitutions
that
make
up
its
Statute-Law
.
3.
The
particular
Priviledges
,
Liberties
,
Immunities
and
Usages
of
Counties
,
Burroughs
,
Cities
,
&c.
that
doe
swerve
from
this
Law
.
4.
The
ancient
Grounds
and
Reasons
(
as
far
as
History
can
direct
)
of
all
these
:
our
Law
being
an
exact
Reason
.
5.
The
most
satisfactory
explanations
of
the
Law
:
1.
From
Commentaries
,
as
Bractons
:
2.
Abridgements
,
as
Stathams
:
3.
History
,
as
the
years
and
terms
of
the
Common
Law
:
And
4.
From
more
particular
Tracts
,
that
handled
their
peculiar
subjects
,
as
Fortescue
,
Glanvil
,
Britton
,
Fleta
,
Littleton
,
which
he
thought
not
unprofitable
to
read
,
though
dangerous
to
rely
upon
:
(
with
the
Lord
Cooke
,
not
liking
those
that
stuff
their
mindes
with
wandering
and
masterless
reports
:
For
,
as
he
said
,
they
shall
find
them
too
soon
to
lead
them
to
error
:
)
Beginning
with
the
terms
of
Art
;
and
then
to
the
matter
;
perusing
what
is
antiquated
,
and
observing
what
is
suitable
to
the
present
constitution
and
complexion
.
It
's
my
Lord
Cook
's
Rule
,
That
for
the
most
part
the
latter
Judgements
and
Resolutions
are
the
surest
,
and
therefore
fittest
to
season
a
man
withal
in
the
beginning
;
both
for
settling
of
his
Judgement
,
and
retaining
them
in
memory
;
yet
as
he
goeth
on
,
out
of
the
old
field●
must
spring
and
grow
the
new
Corn.
Our
Lawyers
course
was
slow
and
leisurely
,
his
reading
digested
and
deliberate
:
His
considerations
wary
,
and
distrust
his
way
to
knowledge
.
He
that
begins
with
certainties
,
ends
in
doubts
;
and
he
that
begins
with
doubts
,
ends
in
certainties
,
and
looketh
into
the
bottom
of
things
.
Upon
serious
and
solid
Books
he
bestowed
a
double
reading
;
the
one
cursorily
,
by
way
of
preparation
;
and
the
other
exact
,
by
way
of
digestion
.
Three
things
made
him
a
Pleader
:
-
1.
Reading
.
-
2.
Observation
.
-
3.
Exercise
.
And
indeed
,
in
ancient
times
,
the
Sergeants
and
Vid.
Cok.
in
Littl.
Prefat.
Apprentices
of
Law
did
draw
their
own
pleadings
,
which
made
them
good
Pleaders
.
He
observed
the
affections
,
the
intent
,
the
analogy
,
the
validity
of
the
Law
,
putting
all
his
reading
to
writing
;
having
the
places
he
was
most
to
handle
in
all
the
variety
that
could
be
,
with
his
Rules
and
Maximes
,
as
far
as
reading
,
hearing
,
meditation
,
conference
and
memory
could
help
him
.
Thus
his
first
thoughts
were
upon
his
Profession
,
until
that
advanced
him
to
the
highest
Eminence
;
and
his
last
upon
his
Interest
,
until
that
was
improved
to
as
much
fortune
as
lieth
in
a
well-laid
Estate
and
Alliance
.

the
fifth
of
Queen
Mary
,
continuing
therein
till
the
day
of
his
death
,
the
23
of
Queen
Elizabeth
.
Eight
weeks
and
upwards
passed
between
the
Proclaiming
of
Queen
Mary
,
and
the
first
Parliament
by
her
assembled
;
during
which
time
,
two
Religions
were
together
set
on
foot
,
Protestantism
and
Popery
;
the
former
hoping
to
be
continued
,
the
latter
labouring
to
be
restored
:
And
as
the
Jews
Children
after
the
Captivity
spake
a
middle
Language
,
betwixt
Hebrew
and
Ashdod
;
so
during
the
foresaid
Interim
,
the
Churches
and
Chappels
in
England
had
a
mixt
celebration
of
their
Divine
Service
between
Reformation
and
Superstition
:
The
same
day
there
was
a
Mass
sung
for
Edward
the
Sixth's
soul
in
the
Tower
,
and
the
English
Service
for
his
Burial
in
Westminster
.
No
small
justling
was
there
between
the
zealous
Promoters
of
these
contrary
Perswasions
:
The
Protestants
had
the
Law
on
their
side
,
and
the

for
the
Recovery
of
her
Right
;
they
conceived
it
but
reason
that
as
she
by
them
regained
the
Crown
,
so
they
under
her
should
enjoy
their
Consciences
:
Thus
it
is
in
the
Evening
Twilight
,
wherein
Light
and
Darkness
at
first
may
seem
very
equally
matched
,
but
the
later

little
time
doth

our
Knight
for

,
whose
temper
was
a
Representative
of
the
Parliament
,
as
that
is
of
the
Kingdom
:
A
temper
made
up
of
an
equal
mixture
of
Loyalty
and
Piety
,
that
could
at
once
stand
to
their

,
and

:
Long
did

expect
that
the
Queen
would
comply
with
the

,
and
as
long
did

stay
for
their
compliance

:

The
Speaker
of
the
unhappily
healing
Parliament
was
made
Master
of
the
Rolls
in
Queen
Maries
days
,
and
of
a
more
happily
healing
one
was
made
so
in
Charles
the
Second's
Reign
:
The
one
was
of
that
Primitive
Faith
that
was
before
the
Modern
names
of
Papists
and
Protestants
;
the
other
of
a

miscarriages

-
2.

-
3.
Roughness
.
-
4.

.
-
5.

.
And
-
6.
Private

No
delay
hindered
:
where
set
times
of
hearing
were
observed
,
access
was
easie
,
the
order
and
method
of

uninterrupted
.
No

,
where
there
durst

;
insomuch
as
that
it
was

was

that

to

Service
;
and
none
when
he
died

to

,
a
charity
that

of
that
worshipful
Family

Sir
Anthony
Cooke
died
in
the
year
of
our
Lord
1576.
leaving
a
fair
Estate
unto
his
Son
,
in
whose
name
it
continued
till
our
time
.
Gravity
was
the
Ballast
of
his
Soul
,
and
General
Learning
its
Leading
.
In
him
met
the
three
things
that
set
up
a
Family
:
-
1.
An
Estate
honestly
gotten
in
the
City
.
-
2.
An
Education
well
managed
in
the
University
.
And
,
-
3.
Honour
well
bestowed
at
Court
.
Yet
he
was
some-body
in
every
Art
,
and
eminent
in
all
the
whole
circle
of
Arts
lodging
in
his
soul
.
His
Latine
,
fluent
and
proper
;
his
Greek
,
critical
and
exact
;
his
Philology
,
and
Observations
upon
each
of
these
Languages
,
deep
,
curious
,
various
and
pertinent
:
His
Logick
,
rational
;
his
History
and
Experience
,
general
;
his
Rhetorick
and
Poetry
,
copious
and
genuine
;
his
Mathematiques
,
practicable
and
useful
.
Knowing
that
souls
were
equal
,
and
that
Women
are
as
capable
of
Learning
as
Men
,
he
instilled
that
to
his
Daughters
at
night
,
which
he
had
taught
the
Prince
in
the
day
;
being
resolved
to
have
Sons
by
Education
,
〈…〉
or
fear
he
should
have
none
by
birth
;
and
lest
he
wanted
an
Heir
of
his
body
,
he
made
five

whom
he

His
first
car
〈…〉
was
to
embue
their
tender
souls
with
a
knowing

Religion
,
which
went
with

His
next
business
was

their

years

submission

obedience
;
and
to
let
their

was

that
my
Lord
Seymour
standing
by
one
da●
when
this
Gentleman
chid
his
Son
,
said
,
Some

Families
with
more
skill
then
others
do
Kingdomes
;
and
thereupon
commended

to

of

such
the

that

obliged
all
his

:

afraid

good

and
to

great

were
guided

Reas

by
his
Authority
.
They
we
〈…〉
their
own

His
care
was
,
that
his
Daughters
might
have
compleat
Men
,
and
that
their
Husbands
might
be
happy
in
compleat
Women
:
nev
〈…〉
promising
,
yet
always
paying
a
great
Dowry
.
Their
spirit
and
business
kept
them
from
that
weak
pass
〈…〉
of
love
that
embaseth
Mankind
;
their
Noble
con

that
friendly
love
that
perfecteth
〈…〉
;
and
their
marriage
compleated
that
Nuptial
〈…〉
ve
that
makes
it
.
He
said
first
,
and
his
Grand-childe
my
Lord
Bacon
after
him
,
That
the
Joys
of
Parents
are
Secrets
,
and
so
are
their
Griefs
and
Fears
.
Children
sweeten
Labours
,
but
they
embitter
Misfortunes
:
they
encrease
the
care
of
Life
,
and
m
〈…〉
gate
the
remembrance
of
Death
.
Very
providently
did
he
secure
his
Eternity
,
by
leaving
the
〈…〉
age
of
his
nature
in
his
Children
,
and
of
his
〈…〉
ind
in
his
Pupil
.
The
Recreations
he
indulged
were
moderate
,
lawful
,
sober
,
becoming
,
useful
,
●nd
seasonable
:
the
Expences
he
allowed
,
not
so
il●iberal
as
to
acquaint
them
with
shifts
,
make
them
〈…〉
ort
with
mean
company
,
nor
surfeit
when
they
came
to
plenty
;
nor
yet
so
prodigal
,
but
that
they
were
taught
how
to
live
in
the
world
.
The
Books
he
advised
were
not
many
,
but
choice
:
the
business
●e
pressed
was
not
reading
,
but
digesting
.
The
King
of
Sweden's
men
were
but
six
deep
;
and
Sir
Anthony's
exercises
were
not
thick
,
but
methodical
and
armed
:
the
Diet
he
prescribed
,
moderate
:
in
Apparel
he
allowed
for
necessity
,
for
decency
,
and
in
some
cases
for
magnificence
,
provided
that
it
were
neither
too
costly
,
nor
too
vain
;
neither
above
the
Purse
,
nor
beyond
the
Calling
,
nor
besides
the
Estate
.
Sir
Anthony
took
more
pleasure
to
breed
up
States-men
,
then
to
be
one
.
Contemplation
was
his
Soul
,
Privacy
his
Life
,
and
Discourse
his
Element
.
Business
was
his
Purgatory
,
and
Publickness
his
torment
:
yet
so
serviceable
was
he
in
Edward
the
sixth's
time
,
that
he
was
an
Exile
in
Queen
Mary's
:
An
Exile
,
whose
exemplary
resolution
supported
Religion
,
whose
obliging
Authority
maintained
Peace
,
and
whose
inexhaustible
charity
provided
for
the
Poor
at
Zuricke
and
Frankford
.

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
David
Brooke
.
DAvid
Brooke
Knight
,
born
at
Glassenbury
,
Son
to
John
Brooke
Esq
who
was
Sergeant
at
Law
to
King
Henry
the
Eighth
.
Our
David
was
also
bred
in
the
Study
of
our
Laws
,
and
in
the
first
of
Queen
Mary
was
made
chief
Baron
of
the
Exchequer
:
but
whether
dying
in
,
or
quitting
the
place
in
the
first
of
Queen
Elizabeth
,
I
am
not
informed
.
He
married
Katharine
Daughter
of
John
Lord
Chandois
,
but
died
without
issue
.
A
Lawyer
,
and
a
Lawyers
son
:
yet
one
whose
Zeal
for
the
Religion
of
that
time
advanced
,
rather
then
his
Law
;
to
serve
rather
his
Princes
interest
,
then
his
Court
:
that
being
the
happy
,
shall
I
say
?
or
unhappy
time
when
the
Soveraign
and
the
State
did
often
consult
with
Judges
,
and
the
Judges
more
often
consult
with
the
Soveraign
and
State
.
Yet
although
a
particular
respect
raised
,
a
general
fair
carriage
kept
him
up
;
He
observed
not
onely
things
,
but
times
;
not
onely
times
,
but
persons
:
therefore
when
old
Poenal
Laws
came
before
him
,
he
confined
them
in
the
execution
,
that
that
which
was
made
for
terrour
,
should
not
be
for
rigour
;
and
the
Instrument
of
Government
should
not
be
the
snare
of
the
People
.
When
Informers
of
that
Court
were
too
busie
,
he
checked
them
:
when
violent
prosecution
,
cunning
advantages
,
combinations
,
power
,
or
great
counsel
balanced
an
honest
cause
,
he
set
all
things
even
.
His
invention
was
good
to
improve
his
Mistresses
Revenue
,
his
conscience
was
as
tender
to
diminish
it
.
Q.

inclination

but

S
〈…〉
David
Brookes
motion
,
to
part
with
the
Church
Profits
.
Patient
and
grave
he
was
in
hearing
,
sparing
and
weighty
in
speaking
:
None
would
direct
an
Evidence
more
orderly
,
none
moderated
the
length
or
impertinency
of
Pleaders
more
discreetly
:
None
would
recapitulate
,
select
,
collate
the
material
points
of
what
had
been
said
,
more
exactly
;
none
gave
judgement
more
satisfactorily
;
always
commending
a
good
Lawyer
that
miscarried
;
a
good
way
to
uphold
in
the
Client
the
reputation
of
his
counsel
,
and
beat
down
in
him
the
conceit
of
his
cause
.
He
died
with
some
projects
in
his
breast
for
the
Revenue
,
and
some
for
the
Law
;
whereof
one
was
a
composition
for
the
Purveyances
,
and
another
a
regulation
of
the
Wards
:
both
at
that
time
thought
,
till
regulated
,
as
unprofitable
for
the
Crown
,
as
they
seemed
to
be
burthensome
to
the
subject
.
He
had
a
close
way
of
discovering
Concealments
,
as
he
had
a
severe
one
of
punishing
frauds
.
His
word
was
,
One
Law
executed
,
is
worth
twenty
made
.
None
more
austere
in
case
of
others
wrong
,
none
more
mild
in
that
of
his
own
;
and
he
would
say
,
What
is
done
,
is
done
.
Weak
men
concern
themselves
in
what
is
past
,
while
the
wise
take
care
of
what
is
present
and
to
come
.
If
a
man
wrongeth
me
once
,
God
forgive
him
,
(
saith
the
Italian
:
)
if
he
wrongeth
me
the
second
time
,
God
forgive
me
.
Others
may
be
even
with
their
enemies
in
revenge
,
he
would
be
above
them
in
forgiveness
.
An
enemy
,
I
say
,
though
otherwise
to
a
perfidious
and
an
unworthy
friend
,
he
was
much
of
Cosmus
Duke
of
Florence
his
temper
,
who
said
,
You
shall
read
that
we
are
commanded
to
forgive
our
●nemies
,
but
you
never
read
that
we
are
commanded
〈…〉
o
forgive
our
friends
.
Many
have
inveighed
against
Usury
,
none
have
done
more
against
it
then
this
Knight
;
who
if
he

lived
,
was
resolved
to
reduce
it
to
these
Rules
.
1.
That
it
should
be
declared
unlawful
.
2.
Being
declared

,
if

practised

Traffick
will
fall
)
that
there
should
be
a
penalty
upon
the
Usurer
,
which
might
amount
to
an
Excise
or
Custome
that
would
arise
from
that
money
if
employed
in
merchandize
.
3.
That
yet
if
any
exacted
above
five
in
the
hundred
,
they
should
loose
the
Principal
.
A
rate
that
on
the
one
hand
would
keep
up
the
necessary
Commerce
of
Lending
and
Borrowing
among
the
Old
●nd
the
Idle
,
and
yet
direct
men
to
that
more
ne
〈…〉
ssary
of
buying
and
improving
Land
,
and
other
Commodities
that
are
more
industrious
and
inge●ious
.
4.
That
none
yet
presume
this
,
but
in
some
principal
places
of
Merchandizing
:
for
then
(
as
my
Lord
Bacon
hath
projected
it
)
they
will
hardly
be
able
to
colour
other
mens
moneys
in
the
Country
:
for
no
man
will
lend
his
money
far
off
,
or
put
it
into
unknown
hands
.
Or
,
Lastly
,
That
there
be
no
money
lent
out
upon
terms
but
to
the
State
,
which
may
make
its
advantage
of
it
.
Indeed
,
considering
on
the
one
hand
that
Usury
decayeth
the
Kings
Custome
,
bringeth
money
to
few
hands
,
damps
Industry
and
Invention
,
beats
down
the
price
of
the
Land
,
and
by
eating
up
private
Estates
breeds
a
publick
Poverty
:
It
were
to
be
wished
it
were
forbidden
.
And
on
the
other
,
That
Borrowers
trade
most
;
that
,
No
Usury
,
no
young
Merchants
;
that
,
Without
Usury
men
must
sell
their
Estates
at
under-Rates
,
more
sad
then
Usury
;
that
,
No
borrowing
,
no
living
;
no
Usury
,
no
borrowing
:
It
were
wished
it
were
regulated
,
so
that
the
inconveniences
of
it
were
avoided
,
and
the
advantages
retained
,
and
Extortion
be
checked
,
as
Traffick
is
encouraged
.
Thus
he
that
hath
no
private
care
,
advanceth
the
publick
Good
,
and
the
childeless
man
is
most
thoughtful
for
Posterity
:
Certainly
the
best
Works
and
of
greatest
Merit
for
the
Publique
,
have
proceeded
from
the
unmarried
,
or
the
childless
man
;
who
both
in
Affection
and
Means
have
married
and
endowed
the
Publique
:
He
that
hath
Wife
and
Children
hath
given
Hostages
to
Fortune
:
For
they
are
Impediments
either
to
Vertue
or
Mischief
.
A
fat
man
in
Rome
riding
always
upon
a
very
lean
Horse
,
being
asked
the
Reason
thereof
,
answered
,
That
he
fed
himself
,
but
he
trusted
others
to
feed
his
Horse
.
Our
Judge
being
asked
what
was
the
best
way
to
thrive
;
said
,
Never
do
any
thing
by
another
,
that
you
can
do
by
your self
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Doctor
Thomas
Wilson
.
THomas
Wilson
born
in
Lincolnshire
,
was
Doctor
of
Laws
,
bred
Fellow
of
Kings
Colledge
in
Cambridge
,
and
afterwards
was
Tutor
in
the
same
University
to
Henry
and
Charles
Brandon
,
successively
Dukes
of
Suff●lk
.
Under
Queen
Elizabeth
he
was
made
Master
of
the
Hospital
of
St.
Katharine's
nigh
the
Tower
of
London
.
At
last
he
became
Secretary
of
State
to
the
Queen
for
four
years
together
.
He
died
Anno
15
He
had
the
breeding
of
Courtiers
so
long
,
until
he
was
one
himself
:
At
once
reading
Machiavel
for
my
Lord
Burleigh's
Instruction
,
and
observing
it
for
his
own
use
.
His
Parents
designed
him
for
study
,
his
Nature
for
business
.
His
presence
assisted
his
inclination
,
and
his
complaisance
his
presence
;
and
his
good
Nature
,
both
:
A
good
Nature
that
would
have
spoiled
a
Politician
in
any
other
but
Doctor
Wilson
,
whose
Wisdom
was
the
largeness
of
his
Soul
,
not
the
narrowness
of
a
shift
.
He
had
that
comprehensive
and
penetrating
judgement
,
that
he
could
at
once
shew
the
greatest
prudence
in
laying
his
design
,
and
the
greatest
Integrity
in
managing
it
,
as
rather
securely
knowing
than
warily
close
.
But
he
that
is
onely
real
,
had
need
have
exceeding
great
Parts
of
Vertue
;
as
the
Stone
had
need
be
rich
;
that
is
set
without
foil
:
Therefore
He
was
something
a
Courtier
:
There
are
small
matters
that
win
great
commendation
,
because
they
are
continually
in
use
;
whereas
the
occasion
of
any
great
action
cometh
but
on
festivals
,
and
it
is
enough
to
attain
so
much
ceremony
and
courtship
not
to
despise
it
.
He
had
a
way
of
conveying
effectual
and
imprinting
passions
among
complements
,
suitable
to
persons
and
business
:
He
had
his
familiarity
to
Inferiours
,
that
made
him
not
cheap
:
his
state
among
Equals
,
that
made
him
not
envied
:
and
his
observance
to
Superiours
,
that
made
him
no
Flatterer
:
His
Behaviour
like
a
well-made
suit
,
not
too
streight
,
or
point
devise
,
but
justly
measured
,
and
free
for
exercise
or
motion
.
He
had
a
slow
but
a
sure
way
to
honour
,
which
was
nothing
else
in
him
but
a
discovery
of
his
Vertues
and
Worth
upon
any
occasion
without
any
disadvantage
.
It
was
his
Interest
as
well
as
his
Gift
,
to
be
more
learned
then
witty
,
more
reverend
then
plausible
,
more
considerate
then
active
.
His
thoughts
were
as
his
inclination
,
grave
;
his
discourse
as
his
reading
,
subtle
;
his
action
as
his
Education
,
well
weighed
,
regular
as
his
temper
,
even
and
smooth
as
custom
,
and
resolved
as
a
habit
gotten
in
that
advancement
of
Vertue
,
A
well-disciplined
Society
;
where
Example
teacheth
,
Company
comforteth
,
Emulation
quickneth
,
Glory
raiseth
.
None
had
a
more
skilful
method
to
sway
Nature
in
others
,
none
more
prudent
minutes
and
seasonable
degrees
to
check
it
in
himself
:
His
Rule
being
,
Never
to
practise
any
thing
until
perfect
:
for
so
he
might
exercise
his
weakness
as
well
as
his
abilities
,
and
induce
one
habit
of
both
.
Three
things
he
aimed
at
:
-
1.
The
search
of
Truth
by
Industry
.
-
2.
The
attainment
of
it
by
Apprehension
.
-
3.
The
enjoyment
of
it
by
Assent
.
He
is
a
happy
man
that
is
above
the
troubled
and
confused
Regions
of
Opinions
,
Fancies
,
Prepossessions
,
in
that
clear
and
undisturbed
one
of
Truth
and
Reality
:
Though
yet
my
Lord
Verulam
observeth
,
That
if
there
were
taken
out
of
mens
mindes
vain
opinion
,
flattering
hope
,
false
valuations
and
imaginations
,
as
one
would
,
and
the
like
,
&c.
it
would
leave
the
mindes
of
a
number
of
poor
men
poor
shrunken
things
,
full
of
melancholy
and
indisposition
,
and
unpleasing
to
themselves
.
Neither
took
he
greater
pleasure
in
knowing
than
in
relating
and
doing
what
is
true
,
sound
and
plain
,
without
those
crooked
courses
that
shew
a
creeping
rather
then
a
raised
nature
;
and
,
as
Mr.
Mount
aigne
observes
,
is
a
bravery
and
facing
of
God
,
and
a
shrinking
from
and
being
coward
before
man
.
He
said
,
what
all
great
men
know
,
That
he
was
six
times
a
Slave
:
-
1.
To
Himself
and
his
Inclination
,
till
he
had
advanced
Reason
.
-
2.
To
the
World
and
its
Insolence
,
till
he
had
improved
his
Fortune
.
-
3.
To
his
Pupils
and
their
Tempers
,
till
he
understood
their
Genius
.
-
4.
To
Fame
and
its
Reports
,
till
he
was
known
in
the
World
.
-
5.
To
his
Soveraigns
and
their
Humours
,
till
he
found
their
Interest
.
And
-
6.
To
his
Business
,
till
he
had
attained
Experience
.
Thus
it
is
with
all
Grandees
,
who
exchange
their
power
over
themselves
for
that
over
others
,
and
with
great
pains
come
to
greater
.
Two
things
he
wished
when
called
to
the
world
,
Power
and
Resolution
.
A
naked
Man
is
contemptible
,
(
for
it
's
Power
that
begets
Fear
,
it
's
Fear
that
makes
Gods
,
and
rules
the
world
)
an
easie
Man
is
useless
:
a
facile-natured
man
may
be
a
good
Companion
for
a
private
person
,
but
no
Servant
to
a
Prince
:
Remissness
and
Connivance
are
the
ruines
of
unsetled
Governments
.
The
Game
of
Authority
will
not
admit
of
too
open
a
play
.
In
a
word
,
he
was
one
that
knew
the
resorts
and
falls
of
business
,
though
he
could
not
sink
into
the
main
of
a
matter
;
being
one
that
packed
the
Cards
better
then
he
played
them
.
Three
things
compleated
this
Secretary
:
-
1.
Quick
dispatch
and
industry
.
-
2.
Constant
intelligence
and
correspondence
.
-
3.
A
large
and
strong
memory
.
Queen
Elizabeth
would
needs
at
first
favour
my
Lord
of
Leicester
against
the
Earl
of
Sussex
,
which
this
Doctor
and
my
Lord
Burleigh
disswaded
upon
this
account
,
Because
if
she
who
should
be
the
common
Mother
of
all
,
inclined
to
one
party
,
and
leaned
to
a
side
,
the
Ship
of
the
Commonwealth
would
be
as
a
Boat
overturned
by
too
much
weight
on
the
one
side
,
and
too
little
on
the
other
.
Take
heed
(
said
the
Royal
Martyr
to
his
Son
our
Soveraign
)
of
abetting
any
Faction
,
or
applying
to
any
publick
Discrimination
:
your
partial
adhering
as
head
to
any
one
side
,
gains
you
not
so
great
advantages
in
some
mens
hearts
,
(
who
are
prone
to
go
on
in
the
Kings
way
)
as
it
looseth
you
in
others
,
who
think
themselves
first
despised
,
and
then
persecuted
by
you
.
Take
such
a
course
as
may
either
with
calmness
and
charity
quite
remove
the
seeming
differences
and
offences
by
impartiality
;
or
so
order
affairs
in
point
of
power
,
that
you
shall
not
need
to
fear
or
flatter
any
faction
:
for
if
ever
you
stand
in
need
of
them
,
or
stand
to
their
courtesie
,
you
are
undone
.
His
Place
called
upon
him
to
suppress
with
seveverity
such
seditious
reflexions
upon
the
State
,
as
came
to
his
knowledge
:
but
his
inclination
was
to
dissipate
them
with
connivance
and
contempt
.
To
be
opposed
,
renders
a
Faction
considerable
;
to
he
despised
,
(
and
watched
)
ridiculous
:
To
go
about
to
stop
the
first
appearances
of
sedition
,
is
(
saith
my
Lord
Bacon
)
but
to
make
a
wonder
long-lived
.
His
knack
was
a
politick
and
artificial
nourishing
and
entertaining
of
hopes
;
and
keeping
men
in
suspense
is
one
of
the
best
Antidotes
against
the
poyson
of
discontent
:
it
being
observed
by
the
foresaid
States-man
,
to
be
a
certain
signe
of
a
wise
Government
&
Proceedings
,
to
hold
mens
hearts
by
hopes
,
when
it
cannot
by
satisfaction
;
and
when
it
can
handle
things
in
such
manner
,
as
no
evil
shall
appear
so
peremptory
,
but
that
it
hath
some
out-let
of
hope
:
which
is
the
easier
done
,
because
both
particular
persons
and
factions
are
apt
enough
to
fiatter
themselves
,
or
at
least
to
boast
what
they
believe
not
.
In
a
word
,
although
he
made
not
so
much
noyse
as
other
men
,
yet
he
as
effectually
promoted
the
three
main
Supporters
of
this
Nation
,
1.
It
s
Native
Commodities
,
2.
It
s
Artificial
Manufactures
,
3.
It
s
Vecture
and
Carriage
;
and
so
died
with
that
content
and
resolution
,
that
they
do
who
are
overtaken
by
Fate
in
the
pursuit
of
great
Actions
,
and
publick
Designes
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
John
Portman
.
JOhn
Portman
Knight
,
was
born
of
wealthy
and
worshipful
Extraction
at
Portman's
Orchard
in
Somersetshire
,
a
fair
Mannor
,
which
descended
to
him
by
inheritance
,
the
Heir
of
the
Orchard
being
match'd
into
his
Family
.
He
was
bred
in
the
study
of
the
Common
Law
;
attaining
to
such
eminency
therein
,
that
June
11.
2
of
Queen
Mary
,
he
was
made
Chief
Justice
of
the
Kings
Bench
,
continuing
two
years
in
the
place
,
and
dying
therein
for
ought
I
finde
to
the
contrary
;
and
a
Baronet
of
his
Name
and
Linage
flourisheth
at
this
day
with
a
great
and
plentiful
Estate
.
No
doubt
but
he
died
in
his
place
,
there
being
none
of
those
things
that
carry
disgrace
and
downfal
with
them
,
incident
to
him
.
For
the
first
thing
that
ruines
a
Courtier
,
is
a
boasting
of
his
own
service
;
and
then
our
Knight
,
The
things
that
overthrow
a
Favourite
.
none
more
modest
.
The
second
,
is
an
undutiful
observation
of
our
Princes
actions
;
and
none
more
faithful
and
meek
.
The
third
,
is
the
revealing
or
abusing
of
secrets
;
and
none
more
reserved
and
civil
.
The
fourth
thing
,
is
either
provoking
the
Nobility
against
himself
,
or
dividing
them
among
themselves
:
he
was
too
wise
for
the
one
,
his
designe
being
rather
alliance
then
quarrel
,
to
adde
interest
to
his
Estate
,
and
honour
to
his
Riches
;
and
too
quiet
for
the
other
.
Many
have
an
Opinion
not
wise
,
(
saith
that
Oracle
)
that
for
a
Prince
to
govern
his
Estate
,
or
for
a
great
Person
to
guide
his
Proceedings
,
according
to
the
respect
of
factions
,
is
a
principal
part
of
policy
:
whereas
contrarywise
,
the
chiefest
wisdome
is
either
in
ordering
those
things
that
are
general
,
and
wherein
men
of
several
factions
do
nevertheless
agree
;
or
in
dealing
with
,
or
correspondence
to
particular
persons
one
by
one
.
Mean
men
in
their
rising
must
adhere
;
but
Great
men
that
have
strength
in
themselves
,
were
better
to
maintain
themselves
indifferent
and
neutral
.
The
fifth
particular
that
pulleth
down
a
man
,
is
a
misunderstanding
of
his
own
interest
,
or
the
Princes
:
Our
Judge
understood
both
,
being
equally
made
up
of
[
](A48796-e41030-b)*
*
The
first
of
these
loved
Alexanders
interest
,
the
other
his
person
.
Craterus
and
Haephestion
,
faithfulness
and
compliance
.
The
sixth
,
is
the
hatred
of
the
many
,
(
whom
this
persons
integrity
always
obliged
,
there
being
no
herd
more
feral
then
an
enraged
multitude
)
or
the
envy
of
the
great
,
whom
his
wariness
disobliged
not
;
it
being
more
fatal
to
incense
a
Favourite
who
would
be
above
all
affronts
by
his
greatness
,
then
a
Prince
who
is
so
by
Law
.
The
seventh
misfortune
,
is
to
be
too
much
concerned
in
the
secrets
of
Princes
;
wherewith
Sir
William
never
meddled
without
assistants
,
never
acted
without
a
Warrant
.
The
eighth
,
is
unsuccessful
Counsel
;
and
our
Knight
went
the
safe
and
middle
way
,
neither
to
be
feared
nor
envied
,
which
he
was
always
present
to
second
,
prosecute
or
correct
,
as
he
saw
most
cause
.
His
sharp
and
sound
judgement
to
distinguish
Persons
,
Affairs
,
and
other
Circumstances
,
and
accordingly
how
to
order
the
manner
of
his
Proceedings
,
was
much
;
his
well-weighed
and
wary
,
though
quick
apprehension
and
experience
from
Men
and
Books
,
more
;
his
particular
memory
,
and
its
minute
observation
for
his
conduct
and
business
,
most
of
all
.
His
care
of
vain
and
idle
Prepossessions
balanced
his
soul
,
his
temper
managed
it
:
his
love
was
choice
and
cautious
;
his
hope
moderate
and
knowing
;
his
confidence
slow
,
but
certain
;
his
desires
and
joys
allayed
and
checked
,
or
quickened
by
the
edge
of
his
anger
,
or
the
caution
of
his
fear
;
and
all
sedate
with
his
foresight
.
Nature
did
this
person
some
wrong
in
his
Body
,
but
made
him
amends
in
his
Soul
:
the
fails
of
the
One
,
are
foils
to
set
off
the
Other
:
the
first
comes
off
with
more
Glory
,
by
the
pully
and
defect
of
the
second
:
Besides
that
the
unkindness
of
Nature
puts
men
often
upon
being
eminent
in
Art
;
that
the
happiness
of
this
,
may
divert
men
from
observing
the
unhappiness
of
that
.
But
of
all
the
Vertues
his
constant
and
growing
Soul
raised
him
to
,
this
was
one
,
That
he
durst
not
entertain
a
Gift
,
which
(
as
he
said
)
conquers
both
the
foolish
and
the
wise
:
which
in
publick
places
it
is
a
Vice
to
accept
,
and
not
a
Vertue
to
offer
:
It
being
a
snare
rather
then
a
favour
.
His
next
was
Diligence
:
Neglect
wastes
a
man
as
insensibly
as
Industry
improves
him
:
We
need
no
more
but
sit
still
,
and
Diseases
will
arise
onely
for
want
of
exercise
.
Man
's
a
Watch
that
must
be
looked
to
and
wound
up
every
day
:
the
least
incuriousness
steals
to
improficiency
or
offence
,
which
degreeingly
weighs
us
down
to
extremity
:
Diligence
alone
is
a
fair
Fortune
,
and
Industry
a
good
Estate
.
There
are
five
mens
Activities
that
raise
to
Estates
:
-
1.
The
Divine
to
a
small
,
but
an
honest
one
.
-
2.
The
Physitian
to
a
competency
,
but
uncertain
.
-
3.
The
Courtier
to
a
great
one
,
and
an
honourable
.
-
4.
The
Citizen
to
a
large
one
,
but
not
lasting
.
And
-
5.
The
Lawyer
to
one
large
,
and
firm
too
.
Seldome
doth
his
Family
fail
,
who
is
sure
to
tye
his
Estate
to
his
Childe
by
an
Entayl
,
and
his
Childe
to
his
Estate
by
an
Education
and
an
Employment
.
When
we
observe
the
several
alterations
in
Gentry
,
we
finde
four
principal
Actors
on
the
Theatres
of
great
Families
▪
the
Beginner
,
the
Advancer
,
the
Continuer
,
and
the
Ruiner
.
1.
The
Beginner
,
who
by
his
Vertues
refineth
himself
from
the
dross
of
the
Vulgar
,
and
layeth
the
foundation
of
his
house
.
2.
The
Advancer
,
who
improveth
it
.
3.
The
Continuer
,
who
conveyeth
it
to
his
Posterity
as
he
received
it
from
his
Ancestors
.
4.
The
Ruiner
,
that
degenerates
from
his
Fathers
.
Our
Judge
began
not
,
but
advanced
that
excellent
Family
,
whose
original
I
cannot
finde
,
so
ancient
it
is
;
and
whose
end
I
hope
none
will
see
,
it
is
so
noble
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
William
Howard
.
WIlliam
Howard
,
son
to
Thomas
Howard
,
second
of
that
Surname
Duke
of
Norfolk
,
was
by
Queen
Mary
created
Baron
of
Effingham
in
Surrey
,
and
by
her
made
Lord
Admiral
of
England
;
which
place
he
discharged
with
credit
.
He
was
one
of
the
first
Favourers
and
Furtherers
with
his
Purse
and
Countenance
of
the
strange
and
wonderful
discovery
of
Russia
.
He
died
anno
Don●
.
1554.
This
Noble
Person
had
his
plainness
from
his
Father
,
his
ingenuity
from
his
Mother
,
his
experience
by
Travel
and
Navigation
:
his
Blood
endeared
him
to
his
Soveraign
,
and
his
Abilities
advanced
him
to
her
service
:
He
promised
no
less
to
his
Mistress
,
then
his
Father
and
Uncle
had
performed
to
her
Father
.
The
Ancestors
merit
is
security
for
Posterities
,
who
will
hardly
forfeit
that
favour
with
one
act
of
their
own
unworthiness
,
that
was
gained
by
so
many
of
their
Predecessors
service
.
Like
a
well-drawn
picture
this
Lord
had
his
eye
on
all
round
:
on
his
Queen
,
to
be
faithful
;
on
his
Country
,
to
be
publick-spirited
;
on
his
Family
,
to
be
honourable
;
on
the
present
Age
,
to
be
active
;
and
on
the
future
,
to
be
renowned
.
The
old
Lord
Burleigh
,
sometime
Treasurer
of
England
,
coming
to
Cambridge
with
Queen
Elizabeth
when
he
was
led
into
the
publick
Schools
,
and
had
much
commended
their
convenience
,
beauty
and
greatness
,
together
with
their
Founder
Humphrey
the
good
Duke
of
Glocester
;
Yea
,
marry
,
(
said
he
)
but
I
finde
one
School
wanting
in
our
Vniversities
,
and
that
is
the
School
of
Discretion
When
Private
Tutors
had
initiated
,
Publick
Schools
had
seasoned
,
and
the
University
had
improved
this
Gentlemans
sprightly
and
noble
Parts
;
yet
did
his
Father
observe
one
great
defect
in
his
Education
,
and
that
i●
Discretion
;
Discretion
in
Carriage
,
for
which
he
sent
him
to
Court
;
Discretion
in
business
,
for
which
he
sent
him
to
travel
and
fight
.
Not
long
had
he
been
abroad
to
furnish
himself
with
experience
,
but
he
is
called
home
to
e●noble
himself
with
action
.
The
Alvaes
of
Spain
were
for
four
Generations
together
Commanders
by
Land
,
and
the
Howards
of
England
for
as
many
,
Admirals
at
Sea
.
None
ever
had
more
Power
,
none
used
less
then
he
:
The
more
Authority
he
had
allowed
him
over
others
,
the
more
Command
he
obtained
over
himself
.
Twice
did
he
mortgage
his
Estate
for
his
followers
Pay
;
many
times
did
he
venture
his
Life
for
their
encouragement
.
None
directed
more
skilfully
and
yet
none
acted
more
resolutely
.
Equally
did
he
divide
the
profit
,
equally
share
the
honour
with
his
followers
,
who
under
him
never
dared
,
and
never
feared
a
danger
.
Manners
make
a
man
,
saith
the
Courtier
;
Money
makes
a
man
,
saith
the
Citizen
;
Learning
makes
a
man
,
saith
the
Scholar
:
but
Conduct
makes
a
man
,
saith
the
Souldier
.
This
Lords
spirit
never
put
him
on
so
forwardly
,
but
his
wariness
took
care
how
to
come
off
as
safely
.
He
that
fights
should
despair
,
but
he
that
commands
should
hope
.
The
Souldier
among
the
Persians
is
drawn
with
his
eyes
before
him
,
and
the
General
with
his
behinde
him
.
Young
men
in
the
manage
of
Affairs
embrace
more
then
they
can
hold
,
stir
more
then
they
can
quiet
,
flee
to
the
end
without
consideration
of
the
means
and
degrees
;
pursue
some
few
principles
,
and
extream
remedies
they
have
chanced
upon
rashly
,
which
they
will
neither
confess
nor
reform
.
Old
men
object
too
much
,
consult
too
long
,
adventure
too
little
,
repent
too
soon
,
and
seldome
pursue
things
home
to
their
full
period
.
My
Lord
was
an
happy
composition
of
both
himself
,
and
had
of
either
about
him
,
that
the
coldness
and
wariness
of
Age
might
correct
the
heat
of
Youth
,
and
the
Activity
of
Younger
might
be
directed
by
the
Experience
of
Riper
Ones
:
The
one
gave
Authority
,
and
the
other
Life
to
his
Actions
.
He
himself
was
better
to
invent
then
to
judge
,
fitter
for
Action
then
Counsel
,
and
readier
for
new
Projects
then
for
setled
business
.
The
Lord
Clinton's
Prudence
served
him
in
old
and
usual
matters
,
but
in
new
things
abused
him
:
My
Lord
Howard's
was
quick
for
present
Emergencies
,
but
not
comprehensive
of
ordinary
transactions
.
Of
the
three
Admirals
of
those
times
,
we
may
say
as
they
did
of
the
[

*
France
,
Spain
and
England
.
three
Kingdomes
,
Lisle
was
wise
before
the
Action
,
my
Lord
Howard
in
it
,
my
Lord
Clinton
after
it
.
England
without
a
freedome
of
commerce
,
was
but
a
larger
Prison
:
others
opened
the
Trade
to
the
Indies
,
to
Asia
,
and
other
parts
of
the
world
;
but
we
wanted
the
Hemp
,
the
Flax
,
the
Pitch
,
the
Fur
,
and
the
other
useful
Commodities
of
Russia
,
serviceable
to
our selves
,
and
more
to
our
Ships
.
His
Purse
in
this
case
did
much
,
his
Direction
more
,
his
servant
Jenkinson
most
of
all
,
who
made
curious
observa●ions
of
Russia
,
set
forth
a
Geographical
description
of
it
,
and
was
the
first
of
the
English
,
that
sailed
through
the
Caspian
Sea
.
With
his
assistance
the
Muscovia
Company
was
set
up
in
Queen
.
Maries
days
;
and
with
his
servants
it
obtained
the
Priviledge
of
sole
Traffick
into
the
Northern
Parts
of
Russia
in
Elizabeth's

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Edward
Mountague
.
EDward
Mountague
,
Son
of
Thomas
Mountague
,
born
at
Brigstock
in
Northampton-shire
,
was
bred
in
the
Inner
Temple
in
the
study
of
the
Laws
,
until
his
ability
and
integrity
advanced
him
Lord
Chief
Justice
of
the
Kings
Bench
,
in
the
Thirtieth
of
Henry
the
Eighth
.
He
gave
for
his
Motto
,
Aequitas
Justitiae
Norma
:
And
although
Equity
seemeth
rather
to
resent
of
the
Chancery
than
the
Kings
Bench
,
yet
the
best
Justice
will
be
Wormwood
without
a
mixture
thereof
.
In
his
times
though
the
golden
showers
of
Abbey-Lands
rained
amongst
greatmen
,
it
was
long
before
he
would
open
his
lap
,
(
scrupling
the
acception
of
such
Gifts
)
and
at
last
received
but
little
,
in
proportion
to
Others
of
that
Age.
In
the
thirty
seventh
of
King
Henry
the
Eighth
he
was
made
Chief
Justice
of
the
Common
Pleas
,
a
descent
in
Honour
,
but
ascent
in
Profit
;
it
being
given
to
old
Age
,
rather
to
be
thrifty
then
ambitious
:
Whereupon
he
said
,
I
am
now
an
old
man
,
and
love
the
Kitchin
before
the
Hall
;
the
warmest
place
best
suiting
with
my
Age.
In
drawing
up
the
Will
of
King
Edward
the
Sixth
,
and
settling
the
Crown
on
the
Lady
Jane
,
for
a
time
he
swam
against
the
tide
and
torrent
of
Duke
Dudley
,
till
at
last
he
was
carried
away
with
the
stream
.
Outed
of
his
Judges
Office
in
the
first
of
Queen
Mary
,
he
returned
into
Northampton-shire
;
and
what
contentment
he
could
not
finde
in
Westminster-hall
,
his
Hospital-hall
at
Bough
〈…〉
afforded
him
.
He
died
Anno
1556.
and
lieth
buried
in
the
Parish
Church
of
Weekely
.
His
well-managed
Argument
in
Dodderidge
his
Case
,
brought
him
to
Cromwel's
knowledge
,
who
was
vexed
with
his
Reason
,
but
well
pleased
with
his
Parts
.
Cromwel's
recommendation
and
his
own
modest
nature
set
him
up
with
Henry
the
Eighth
,
who
could
not
endure
two
things
:
1.
A
Lawyer
that
would
not
be
guided
:
2.
A
Divine
that
would
not
be
taught
.
Yet
as
modest
as
he
was
,
he
was
honest
;
and
though
he
would
submit
to
the
Kings
Power
,
yet
would
he
act
by
his
Law
:
For
his
Apophthegm
was
,
Meum
est
Jus
dicere
,
potius
quam
Jus
dare
:
It
's
my
duty
to
interpret
rather
then
give
Law
.
He
never
denied
or
delayed
Justice
;
always
discouraging
those
cunning
Laws
that
perplexed
a
Cause
,
those
contentious
Clients
that
delayed
a
suit
,
and
those
nice
Cummin-●eed
men
that
strained
inferences
,
and
wrested
constructions
.
Patient
,
stayed
and
equal
he
was
in
hearing
,
grave
in
speaking
,
pertinent
in
interrogating
,
wary
in
observing
,
happy
in
remembring
,
seasonable
and
civil
in
interposing
.
The
Counsel
durst
not
chop
with
him
,
neither
would
he
chop
with
the
Counsel
,
unless
he
defended
his
cause
over-boldly
,
urged
indiscreetly
,
informed
slightly
,
neglected
gro●ly
,
renewed
the
debate
unseasonably
,
or
ensnared
his
Adversaries
cunningly
;
in
those
and
other
the
like
cases
,
he
would
do
the
Publique
Right
by
a
check
,
and
the
Person
by
an
admonition
.
Six
sorts
of
persons
he
discountenanced
in
his
Courts
:
1.
The
scandalous
Exactors
.
2.
The
slie
shifters
,
that
,
as
that
Chancellour
observed
,
pervert
the
plain
and
direst
courses
of
Courts
,
and
bring
Justice
into
oblique
Lines
and
Labyrinths
.
3.
Those
that
engaged
Courts
in
quarrels
of
Jurisdiction
.
4.
Those
that
made
suits
.
5.
Those
that
hunted
men
upon
Poenal
Statutes
.
6.
Those
that
appeared
in
most
Testimonies
and
Juries
.
His
Darling
was
,
The
honest
Clerk
,
who
was
experienced
in
his
place
,
obliging
in
his
carriage
,
knowing
in
Presidents
,
cautious
in
Proceedings
,
and
skilful
in
the
affairs
of
the
Court.
Two
things
he
promoted
in
King
Henry's
days
:
-
1.
The
Law
against
Gaming
.
And
-
2.
The
Order
against
Stews
.
And
two
in
King
Edward's
:
-
1.
That
Act
against
spreading
of
Prophecies
.
-
2.
That
Statute
against
embasing
of
Coyn.
But
King
Edward's
Testament
and
the
Duke
〈◊〉
Northumberland's
Will
is
to
be
made
:
The
piou
〈…〉
Intentions
of
that
King
wishing
well
to
the
Reformation
,
the
Religion
of
Queen
Mary
obnoxious
to
exception
,
the
ambition
of
Northumberland
who
would
do
what
he
lifted
,
the
weakness
of
Suffol
〈…〉
who
would
be
done
with
as
the
other
pleased
,
the
flattery
of
the
Courtiers
most
willing
to
comply
▪
designed
the
Crown
for
the
Lady
Jane
Grey
.
Mr.
Cecil
is
sent
for
to
London
,
to
furnish
that
Will
with
Reason
of
State
;
and
Sir
Edward
to
Sergeants
In●
,
to
make
it
up
with
Law
.
He
according
to
the
Letter
sent
him
,
went
with
Sir
Jo.
Baker
,
Justice
Bromley
,
the
Attorney
and
Solicitor-General
to
Greenwich
,
where
his
Majesty
before
the
Marquess
of
Northampton
declaring
himself
for
the
settlement
of
Religion
,
and
against
the
succession
of
Queen
Mary
,
offered
them
a
Bill
of
Articles
to
make
a
Book
of
;
which
they
,
notwithstanding
the
Kings
Charge
,
and
the
reiteration
of
it
by
Sir
William
Peter
,
declared
upon
mature
consideration
,
they
could
not
do
,
without
involving
themselves
and
the
Lords
of
the
Council
in
High
I
reason
,
because
of
the
Statutes
of
Succession
.
The
Duke
of
Northumberland
hearing
of
their
Declaration
by
the
Lord
Admiral
,
comes
to
the
Council-Chamber
all
in
a
rage
,
trembling
for
anger
;
calling
Sir
Edward
Traytor
,
and
saying
,
He
would
fight
in
his
shirt
with
any
man
in
that
Quarrel
.
The
old
man
is
charged
by
the
King
upon
his
Allegiance
,
and
the
Council
upon
his
Life
,
to
make
the
Book
;
which
he
did
,
when
they
promised
it
should
be
ratified
in
Parliament
.
Here
was
his
obedience
,
not
his
invention
;
not
to
devise
,
but
draw
things
up
according
to
the
Articles
tendred
unto
him
.
Since
shame
is
that
which
ambitious
Nature
abhorreth
,
and
danger
is
that
which
timorous
Nature
declineth
;
the
honest
man
must
be
resolute
.
Sir
Nathaniel
Brent
would
say
,
A
Coward
cannot
be
an
honest
man
;
and
it
seems
by
this
Action
,
that
modesty
and
fear
are
great
temptations
.
Give
me
those
four
great
Vertues
that
make
a
man
:
-
1.
A
clear
Innocence
.
-
2.
A
comprehensive
Knowledge
.
-
3.
A
well-weighed
experience
.
And
-
4.
The
product
of
all
these
,
A
steady
Resolution
.
What
a
Skein
of
Ruffled
Silk
(
saith
the
ingenious
Resolver
)
is
the
incomposed
man
!
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Edward
Fines
.
EDward
Fines
Lord
Clinton
,
Knight
of
the
Garter
,
was
Lord
Admiral
of
England
for
more
then
thirty
years
.
He
was
wise
,
valiant
,
and
very
fortunate
,
as
appears
by
his
Master-piece
in
Museleborough-field
,
in
the
reign
of
King
Edward
the
sixth
,
and
the
Battle
against
the
Scots
.
He
was
afterwards
created
Earl
of
Lincoln
,
where
he
was
born
,
May
4.
1474.
and
where
he
had
a
proportionable
Estate
to
support
his
Dignity
,
which
he
much
increased
,
beside
his
Paternal
Inheritance
.
He
died
January
16.
1558.
and
lieth
buried
at
Windsor
,
in
a
private
Chappel
,
under
a
stately
Monument
,
which
Elizabeth
his
third
Wise
,
Daughter
to
the
Earl
of
Kildare
,
erected
in
his
remembrance
.
His
Fortune
made
him
a
younger
Brother
,
and
his
Industry
an
Heir
;
coming
to
Court
,
where
they
that
have
Estates
,
spend
them
;
and
they
that
have
none
,
gain
them
.
His
recreation
was
at
Court
,
but
his
business
in
the
Country
;
where
notwithstanding
the
Statute
in
Henry
the
sevenths
time
against
Pasturage
for
Tillage
,
he
Grazed
11000
Acres
of
Ground
:
then
a
noble
and
gaining
Employment
,
that
advanced
many
a
Family
in
one
Generation
;
and
now
a
saving
one
,
that
hath
kept
up
as
many
ten
.
The
best
tempered
Swords
will
bend
any
way
,
and
the
best
metalled
men
will
comply
with
any
occasion
.
At
White-hall
,
none
more
affable
and
courteous
then
our
Lord
;
at
Sea
,
none
more
skilful
;
in
the
field
,
none
more
resolute
;
in
the
Country
,
none
more
thristy
and
hospitable
.
His
Entertainments
were
orderly
and
suitable
,
made
up
of
solid
particulars
,
all
growing
upon
his
own
Estate
.
King
Charles
would
say
,
Every
man
hath
his
vanity
,
and
mine
(
speaking
of
the
Soveraign
)
is
Building
:
Every
man
hath
his
humour
,
and
mine
(
said
he
,
speaking
of
the
Fens
)
is
Drayning
.
Adding
withal
,
He
that
would
be
merry
for
a
day
,
let
him
be
trimmed
;
he
that
would
be
merry
for
a
week
,
let
him
marry
;
he
that
would
be
merry
for
a
year
,
let
him
build
;
he
that
would
be
merry
for
Ages
,
let
him
[
](A48796-e43140-b)*
*
He
meant
land
.
improve
.
Now
you
would
have
him
among
his
Workmen
and
Stewards
in
Lincoln
,
anon
among
the
Commissioners
either
in
France
or
Scotland
;
by
and
by
before
Bulloign
or
Calice
,
and
a
while
after
at
Spieres
or
Muscleborough
,
and
on
a
suddain
at
a
Mask
in
Court.
Neither
was
his
Soul
less
pliable
to
persons
,
then
things
:
as
boysterously
active
as
King
Henry
could
expect
,
as
piously
meek
as
King
Edward
could
wish
,
as
warily
zealous
as
Queen
Mary's
times
required
,
and
as
piercingly
observant
as
Queen
Elizabeths
perplexed
occasions
demanded
.
It
was
by
him
and
my
Lord
Bacon
said
of
business
,
That
it
was
in
business
as
it
is
in
ways
,
that
the
next
and
the
nearest
way
is
commonly
the
foulest
;
and
that
if
a
man
will
go
the
fairest
way
,
he
must
go
somewhat
about
.
Sitting
in
a
Committee
about
invading
Scotland
,
whereof
Sir
Anthony
Brown
then
Viscount
Mountacute
presented
a
Draught
,
there
arose
as
great
a
debate
between
him
and
my
Lord
in
Council
,
as
afterwards
in
the
Field
,
about
the
point
of
Entrance
;
Nay
,
said
my
Lord
in
the
heat
of
the
Discourse
,
with
as
much
power
on
others
passions
,
as
command
over
his
own
,
We
stand
quarrelling
here
how
we
shall
get
in
,
but
here
is
no
discourse
how
we
shall
get
out
.
It
's
a
Rule
,
Whosoever
hath
any
thing
fixed
in
his
person
that
doth
induce
contempt
,
hath
also
a
perpetual
spur
in
himself
to
rescue
and
deliver
himself
from
scorn
,
either
by
vertue
or
malice
;
And
my
Lord
having
some
disadvantage
from
Nature
,
made
it
up
by
Art
:
None
more
bold
,
none
more
industrious
and
more
successful
,
because
that
disadvantage
took
off
envy
on
the
one
hand
,
and
jealousie
on
the
other
:
so
that
upon
the
matter
,
in
a
great
Wit
,
Contempt
is
a
great
advantage
to
rising
.
Judge
Brooke
had
a
Project
against
Usury
,
which
came
up
to
the
Lords
House
:
this
rich
Peer
upon
the
first
motion
of
it
,
stands
up
,
and
saith
,
Shew
me
a
State
without
Usury
,
and
I
'll
shew
you
a
State
without
Men
and
Trade
.
Rich
he
was
for
expence
,
and
expend
he
did
upon
honour
and
good
Action
:
his
ordinary
expences
were
the
third
of
his
Estate
,
and
his
extraordinary
none
of
it
;
his
Rule
being
,
Extraordinary
disadvantages
must
be
balanced
with
extraordinary
advantages
.
He
would
not
stoop
to
petty
gains
,
but
he
would
abridge
petty
charges
:
but
his
occasions
calling
him
often
from
his
Estate
,
he
turned
it
all
to
certainties
;
often
changing
his
Servants
,
who
being
unacquainted
with
him
and
his
Estate
,
were
less
subtle
,
and
more
timorous
.
Much
behind-hand
he
was
when
he
came
to
the
Estate
,
and
as
much
before
when
he
left
it
.
Neither
was
he
too
suddain
or
too
slow
in
paying
his
Debts
;
equally
avoiding
a
disadvantageous
sale
on
the
one
hand
,
and
devouring
interest
on
the
other
:
and
so
inuring
himself
by
degrees
into
an
habit
of
frugality
,
he
gained
as
well
upon
his
Minde
,
as
upon
his
Estate
.
For
husbanding
the
English
Treasure
in
Scotland
,
he
was
Knighted
in
the
Field
May
11.
34
H.
8.
by
the
Earl
of
Hertford
:
for
the
Clause
concerning
Scotland
he
put
in
at
the
Treaty
of
Guisnes
,
35
H.
8.
he
was
made
Baron
by
Patent
:
for
his
discreet
Conduct
in
demanding
the
young
Queen
of
Scots
,
together
with
the
performance
of
the
Articles
made
in
Henry
the
eighth's
time
,
with
60
sayl
of
Ships
before
the
battle
of
Muscleburgh
,
he
had
600
l.
a
year
assigned
him
by
the
Protector
:
for
his
great
experience
at
Sea
,
his
interest
in
Sea-men
,
and
his
nown
among
the
Neighbour-States
,
he
was
made
Earl
of
Lincoln
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Barnaby
Fitz-Patrick
.
BArnaby
Fitz-Patrick
had
the
honour
of
being
King
Edward
the
sixth
his
Proxy
at
School
,
and
one
of
his
Bed-chamber
at
Court.
In
King
Henry
the
eighth's
time
he
was
sent
to
School
,
in
King
Edward
the
sixth's
to
travel
,
where
he
had
these
Directions
following
from
that
King
,
how
he
might
learn
fashions
there
,
and
send
intelligence
hither
.
EDWARD
.
WE
understand
by
your
Letters
received
the
eighth
of
this
present
month
,
your
good
entertainment
,
being
glad
thereof
;
and
also
how
you
have
been
once
to
go
on
Pilgrimage
:
Wherefore
we
think
fit
to
advertise
you
to
desire
leave
to
go
to
Mr.
Pickering
,
or
to
Paris
,
in
case
hereafter
any
such
chance
happen
.
And
if
that
will
not
serve
,
to
declare
to
some
person
of
estimation
,
with
whom
you
are
best
acquainted
,
that
as
you
are
loath
to
offend
the
French
King
by
reason
of
his
kinde
usage
of
you
;
so
with
safe
conscience
you
cannot
do
any
such
thing
,
being
brought
up
with
me
,
and
bound
to
obey
my
Laws
;
also
,
that
you
had
commandment
from
me
to
the
contrary
.
Yet
if
you
be
vehemently
procured
,
you
may
go
as
waiting
upon
the
King
,
not
as
intending
to
the
abuse
,
nor
willingly
s●e
the
Ceremonies
:
and
so
you
look
on
the
Mass
,
but
in
the
mean
time
regard
the
Scripture
,
or
some
good
Book
,
and
give
no
reverence
to
the
Mass
at
all
.
Furthermore
,
remember
when
you
may
conveniently
be
absent
from
the
Court
,
to
tarry
with
Sir
William
Pickering
,
to
be
instructed
by
him
how
to
use
your self
.
For
Women
,
as
far
forth
as
you
can
,
avoid
their
company
;
yet
if
the
French
King
command
you
,
you
may
sometime
dance
,
so
measure
be
your
mean
:
else
apply
your self
to
Riding
,
Shooting
,
Tennis
,
or
such
honest
Games
;
not
forgetting
sometimes
(
when
you
have
leisure
)
your
Learning
,
chiefly
reading
of
the
Scriptures
.
We
would
not
have
you
live
too
sumptuously
as
an
Ambassador
,
but
so
as
your
proportion
of
living
may
serve
you
;
we
mean
,
because
we
know
many
will
resort
to
you
,
and
desire
to
serve
you
.
I
told
you
how
many
I
thought
convenient
you
should
keep
.
After
you
have
ordered
your
things
at
Paris
,
go
to
the
Court
,
and
learn
to
have
more
intelligence
if
you
can
;
and
after
to
the
Wars
,
to
learn
somewhat
to
serve
us
.
By
your
Letters
of
the
second
and
fifteenth
of
April
,
we
perceive
that
you
were
at
Nancy
,
ready
to
go
together
with
Mr.
Pickering
to
the
French
Camp
;
and
to
the
intent
you
might
be
better
instructed
how
to
use
your self
in
these
Wars
,
we
have
thought
good
to
advertise
you
of
our
pleasure
therein
.
First
,
we
would
wish
you
,
as
much
as
you
may
conveniently
,
to
be
in
the
French
Kings
presence
,
or
at
least
in
some
part
of
his
Army
,
where
you
shall
perceive
most
business
to
be
;
and
that
for
two
causes
:
One
is
,
because
you
may
have
more
experience
in
the
Wars
,
and
see
things
as
might
stand
you
in
stead
another
day
:
The
other
is
,
because
you
might
be
more
profitable
in
the
Language
.
For
our
Embassador
,
who
may
not
wear
Harness
,
cannot
well
come
to
those
places
of
danger
,
nor
seem
so
to
serve
the
French
King
,
as
you
may
,
whom
we
sent
thither
for
that
purpose
.
It
shall
be
best
for
you
therefore
hereafter
,
as
much
as
you
may
,
to
be
with
the
French
King
;
and
so
you
shall
be
more
acceptable
to
him
,
and
do
your self
much
good
.
This
I
write
,
not
doubting
but
you
would
have
done
it
,
though
I
had
not
written
,
but
to
spur
you
on
.
Adding
withal
,
To
learn
the
Tongue
,
to
see
the
manner
of
the
Court
,
and
advertise
his
Master
of
Occurrences
,
keeping
close
to
the
King
of
France
,
to
whom
he
shall
offer
his
service
in
the
Wars
,
where
be
is
to
observe
the
fortifications
of
the
Cities
,
the
Conduct
of
the
Armies
,
the
advantages
and
disadvantages
of
both
Parties
;
their
Skirmishes
,
Battels
,
Assaults
,
and
the
Plots
of
the
chief
Towns
,
where
any
enterprizes
of
weight
have
been
done
.
His
Exercises
were
to
be
Hunting
and
Riding
;
his
Company
few
,
but
choice
,
&c.
This
Gentleman
after
his
return
out
of
France
,
was
created
by
the
King
Baron
of
Upper
Ossory
in
Ireland
;
where
he
died
a
good
Protestant
,
a
Publick-spirited
Patriot
,
and
an
honest
man
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Henry
Fitz-Alane
,
Earl
of
Arundel
.
HIs
first
appearance
in
the
World
was
to
adorn
the
Court
,
his
next
was
to
serve
it
.
First
his
Estate
and
Train
attends
King
Henry
to
the
Interview
with
France
,
and
a
while
after
his
Anno
H.
8.
24.
Valour
and
Conduct
is
commanded
by
him
to
the
War
.
Equally
prepared
is
he
to
please
and
awe
that
Countrey
:
The
Duke
of
Suffolke
is
made
General
for
his
Popularity
,
and
the
Earl
of
Arundel
Lord
Marshal
,
for
his
Spirit
and
Prudence
;
and
both
being
before
Bulloign
,
this
Noble
Lord
run
up
his
Squadron
under
a
running
shelter
about
eleven
at
night
,
to
the
very
Walls
of
the
City
;
which
being
battered
down
by
the
Canon
,
which
was
mounted
some
forty
yards
higher
,
opened
to
the
close
Besiegers
a
passage
that
gained
the
whole
Town
by
composition
.
Neither
was
he
less
active
in
Peace
than
War
:
A
piercing
apprehension
,
a
strong
memory
,
a
large
and
capacious
judgement
,
a
dexterous
prudence
,
a
discerning
wisdom
,
was
the
least
of
his
happiness
:
For
to
his
sufficiency
and
capacity
,
he
added
a
good
disposition
and
integrity
;
and
to
that
,
vigour
and
gracefulness
.
He
was
the
excellent
Personage
,
that
1.
Discerned
,
2.
Embraced
and
performed
what
was
Noble
and
Publique
:
(
To
know
,
to
will
and
effect
what
is
good
,
make
up
a
God
.
)
To
these
were
added
a
strong
Nature
,
a
deep
Study
,
and
a
very
great
Experience
;
qualities
separated
in
others
,
but
united
in
him
:
Nature
will
out
,
Education
is
rude
;
Education
without
Resolution
,
is
loose
;
Resolution
without
Experience
,
is
heady
;
Experience
grounded
upon
particular
Events
,
is
uncertain
,
without
the
study
of
General
and
Immoveable
Principles
:
Knowledge
of
things
in
their
sources
and
original
causes
,
without
Nature
,
is
a
Burden
:
All
these
without
Exercise
,
are
a
Notion
.
This
Nobleman
thus
furnished
,
derived
much
Honor
from
his
Ancestors
,
more
to
them
;
ennobling
that
Blood
to
a
Glory
,
which
some
had
debased
to
a
Blush
.
That
great
Name
after
four
hundred
years
shining
in
that
Honour
with
various
lustre
,
setting
in
him
as
the
Sun
he
bore
with
a
full
splendour
:
The
last
effort
of
Nature
is
a
Master-piece
;
the
last
blaze
of
the
Candle
a
shine
.
Other
Noblemen
were
made
King
Edward's
Overseers
for
their
Integrity
;
he
one
of
his
Assistants
for
his
Ability
:
When
an
Enemy
was
to
be
awed
to
a
submission
,
he
was
General
,
such
his
Fame
!
When
the
Countrey
was
to
be
obliged
to
a
loan
,
he
was
Agent
,
such
his
Popularity
!
The
first
advanced
him
to
the
Comptrollership
under
Henry
the
Eighth
;
the
second
to
the
Chamberlainship
under
Edward
the
Sixth
.
Nature
hath
provided
that
ravenous
Beasts
should
not
associate
,
le●t
they
should
be
too
hard
for
it
;
and
Government
,
that
prime
Counsellours
should
not
agree
,
le●t
they
overthrow
it
:
Warwick
envied
the
Protectors
Greatness
,
and
Arundel
would
limit
his
Power
:
both
with
the
rest
of
the
Council
declare
against
him
.
But
le●t
he
should
urge
the
same
things
against
Warwick
that
he
did
against
Somerset

the
Traytor
,
turn
him
first
out
of
Favour
,
and
then
out
of
Council
,
until
Queen
Maries
time
when
he
as
an
antient
Nobleman
of
England
,
(
that
〈…〉
owned
no
upstart-designs
against
the
old
way
of
succession
)
stood
for
her
Right
,
and
as
a
stiff
Catholique
promoted
her
Religion
:
So
that
July

he
came
from
the
Queen
to
Cambridge
,
where
the
Duke
of
Northumberland
was
,
and
entering
his
Chamber
,
the
Duke
fell
at
his
feet
,
desiring
him
for
Gods
sake
to
consider
his
case
,
who
had
done
nothing
but
by
Warrant
from
the
Council
:
My
Lord
,
(
said
the
Earl
)
I
am
sent
hither
by
the
Queen
to
arrest
you
.
And
I
(
said
the
Duke
)
obey
your
Arrest
;
beseeching
your
mercy
for
what
I
did
by
Commission
.
You
should
have
thought
of
that
sooner
,
(
said
the
Earl
.
)
Here
you
might
have
seen
at
once
the
vicissitude
of
Fortune
,
the
frailty
of
Man
,
the
dejectedness
of
Guilt
,
the
bravery
of
Innocence
,
who
would
neither
be
trampled
on
by
Greatness
,
nor
trample
on
Misery
;
of
an
equal
temper
between
pity
and
resolution
.
As
long
as
his
Youth
bore
it
,
we
finde
him
for
Action
;
but
when
years
came
upon
him
,
we
finde
him
in
Council
,
as
with
Wotton
〈◊〉
the
great
Treaty
at
Cambray
:
Yet
not
so
unactive
,
but
that
as
Sir
William
Pickering
for
his
sweet
Demeaner
,
so
he
for
his
Estate
was
voiced
an
Husband
to
Queen
Elizabeth
.
When
the
rest
of
the
Council
were
for
dealing
with
the
Queen
of
Scots
underhand
and
at
distance
,
he
was
for
treating
with
her
plainly
;
and
said
in
the
Queens
presence
,
The
wisdom
of
the
former
Age
was
so
provident
that
it
needed
not
,
and
so
plain
that
it
endured
not
shifts
.
Leicester
would
perswade
the
Duke
of
Norfolk
to
court
the
Queen
of
Scots
,
but
Arundel
would
not
hear
of
it
without
the
Queen
of
England's
consent
:
Experience
is
always
wary
,
yet
hath
its
weaknesses
,
wherein
it
may
be
surprized
.
For
this
Noblemans
Kindness
to
his
Friend
,
balancing
his
Duty
to
his
Mistriss
,
brought
him
,
the
Earl
of
Southampton
,
the
Lords
Lumley
,
Co●ham
,
Piercy
,
&c.
to
a
Praemunire
:
whereupon
he
said
,
He
is
never
wise
,
that
is
not
distrustful
.
Fear
,
that
betrayeth
the
succours
of
Reason
,
when
predominant
,
guardeth
them
when
moderate
,
and
is
more
safe
,
though
not
so
Noble
as
that
valiant
confidence
that
bequeaths
a
dilated
Freedom
to
all
faculties
and
senses
.
But
of
all
his
Actions
this
is
most
remarkable
:
Treating
with
the
Scots
,
he
writ
to
his
Majesty
King
Henry
the
Eighth
,
what
he
had
gained
already
,
requiring
to
know
his
further
pleasure
:
The
King
takes
advice
with
his
Council
,
who
all
agree
that
the
Peace
should
be
concluded
:
Whereupon
the
King
caused
his
Secretary
the
Lord
Paget
to
write
to
him
to
that
purpose
;
but
withal
,
he
called
Mr.
Cecil
secretly
to
him
,
bidding
him
tell
my
Lord
,
That
whatsoever
he
had
written
in
his
Letter
,
yet
with
all
speed
possible
he
should
break
the
Treaty
.
Mr.
Cecil
replying
,
That
a
message
by
word
of
mouth
being
contrary
to
his
Letter
,
would
never
be
believed
:
Well
,
(
said
the
King
)
do
you
tell
him
as
I
bid
you
,
and
leave
the
doing
of
it
to
his
choice
.
Upon
Mr.
Cecil's
arrival
,
the
Earl
of
Arundel
shewed
the
other
Commissioners
as
well
the
Message
as
the
Letter
;
they
are
all
for
the
Letter
:
he
said
nothing
,
but
ordered
that
the
Message
should
be
written
before
,
and
signed
by
his
fellow-Commissioners
,
and
thereupon
immediately
broke
up
the
Treaty
,
sending
Cecil
with
the
advertisement
of
it
to
the
King
:
Who
,
as
soon
as
he
saw
him
,
asked
aloud
,
What
,
will
he
do
it
,
or
no
?
Cecil
replied
,
That
his
Majesty
might
understand
that
by
the
inclosed
.
But
then
the
King
,
half
angry
,
urged
,
Nay
tell
me
:
Will
be
do
it
or
no
?
Being
then
told
it
was
done
,
he
turned
to
the
Lords
and
said
,
Now
You
will
hear
news
,
The
fine
Treatie
is
broken
:
Whereto
one
presently
answered
,
That
he
who
had
broke
it
deserved
to
lose
his
Head
;
to
which
the
King
straightly
replied
,
That
He
would
lose
a
dozen
such
heads
as
his
was
that
so
judged
,
rather
than
one
such
Servant
as
had
done
it
:
and
therewith
commanded
the
Earl
of
Arundel's
Pardon
should
be
presently
drawn
up
,
the
which
he
sent
with
Letters
of
Thanks
,
and
assurance
of
Favour
.
Five
things
must
a
Statesman
comprehend
.
-
1.
The
Law
.
-
2.
The
Government
.
-
3.
The
Time
.
-
4.
The
People
.
And

5.
The
Prince
.
Under
an
active
Prince
,
you
must
regard
the
Prerogative
;
under
an
easie
one
,
the
Law
;
under
a
compleat
one
made
up
of
a
just
measure
of
Greatness
and
Goodness
,
those
two
things
are
distinguished
onely
in
the
nice
discourses
of
some
Speculative
,
being
but
one
great
Rule
in
the
solid
actions
of
that
Prince
.
Observations

Life
of
Sir
John
Dudley
Duke
of

HIs

was

purchased
by

and
improved
by
his
own
cunning

rage
,
and
raised
his
Son
to
appease

Ghost

but

King
,
may
advance
his
Posterity
.
Something
high
he
was
in
the
Kings
favour
,
because
standing
on
his
fathers
Grave
;
but
higher
as
he
stood
on
his
own
Merit
:
He
knew
his
Fathers
service
made
his
way
to
favour
;
his
own
Education
therefore
must
prepare
him
for
employment
.
Favour
without
Parts
is
a
reproach
;
Parts
without
favour
are
a
burden
.
The
King
restored
him
to
his
Fathers
blood
,
and
his
own
industry
recovered
his
Abilities
.
There
are
those
that
under
the
notion
of
wisdome
commit
the
greatest
folly
,
either
in
too
much
conversing
with
the
world
without
,
or
in
too
much
reflecting
on
themselves
within
:
Sir
John
was
made
up
of
both
;
some
time
he
allowed
for
Action
,
more
for
Consideration
.
There
is
not
any
thing
so
prejudicial
to
Action
,
as
to
be
bent
upon
Action
without
intermission
:
for
as
the
eye
seeth
not
the
Objects
touching
it
,
but
those
onely
more
remote
;
so
the
understanding
continually
plunged
in
Affairs
,
is
not
so
quick-sighted
in
occurrents
,
as
his
who
sometime
retireth
himself
from
publick
Action
,
beholding
it
aloof
off
by
consideration
.
In
the
heat
and
tumult
of
Affairs
,
Reason
hath
not
that
power
as
may
give
conduct
and
motion
to
active
life
:
besides
,
experience
teacheth
us
,
that
the
eye
having
lost
its
quickness
with
too
much
looking
upon
the
light
,
recovereth
it
again
in
the
dark
:
the
spirit
in
like
manner
dazled
,
weakened
,
transported
and
distracted
among
the
multitude
and
variety
of
Affairs
,
ought
to
recollect
and
recover
its
force
in
the
privacy
of
some
small
retreat
;
which
Sir
John
made
to
Italy
,
the
seat
of
policy
and
experience
;
whence
I
pray
God
he
brought
no
more
(
saith
my
Author
)
then
his
closeness
and
reach
.
His
Soveraign
saw
he
deserved
Honour
,
but
saw
not
without
offence
to
the
Populacy
how
to
confer
it
,
until
the
subtle
Youngster
shewed
him
a
middle
way
,
(
upon
the
strange
death
of
the
Viscount
Lisle
,
who
lost
his
life
for
joy
that
it
was
saved
)
by
petitioning
for
that
honour
as
a
favour
,
which
upon
his
Mothers
account
was
his
right
:
The
crafty
Youth
entered
himself
of
the
Cardinals
Retinue
first
,
and
then
of
the
Kings
.
Much
was
he
employed
by
him
at
Sea
,
as
an
Overseer
of
the
Navy
;
more
in
the
Field
,
as
Director-General
;
most
of
all
in
the
Romish
and
French
Court
,
as
a
Spy
.
He
was
too
good
a
Proficient
in
his
School
to
fall
with
him
,
therefore
we
immediately
observe
him
rising
with
Cromwel
,
until
the
King
made
him
Admiral
,
and
he
with
his
200
sayl
upon
the
Coast
of
Scotland
made
himself
renowned
;
insomuch
that
the
King
left
him
the
next
year
Viceroy
of
France
,
and
Deputy
of
Calice
and
Bulloign
:
where
to
revenge
the
French
attempts
upon
the
Isle
of
Wight
,
he
drew
his
Fleet
up
to
the
Coasts
of
Normandy
,
landed
6000
men
at
Treport
,
burned
the
Suburbs
of
that
Town
with
the
Abby
,
destroyed
30
Ships
there
in
the
Haven
,
and
then
returned
,
not
having
lost
above
fourteen
persons
in
the
whole
Voyage
:
insomuch
that
in
a
Treaty
between
Ard
and
Guisnes
,
wherein
he
was
Commissioner
with
the
Earl
of
Hertford
,
Secretary
Paget
,
and
Dr.
Wotton
,
the
French
were
contented
that
we
held
Bulloign
till
they
paid
us
800000
Crowns
within
the
term
of
eight
years
.
For
the
further
Establishment
whereof
,
he
and
the
Bishop
of
Duresm
are
employed
to
take
Oath
of
the
French
King
and
the
Daulphine
.
His
Master
Henry
dieth
,
but
not
his
designe
with
him
:
Norfolk
is
out
of
his
way
;
Seymour
will
be
so
:
he
is
now
Executor
of
King
Henry's
Will
,
he
will
be
of
his
own
.
But
as
Nature
,
so
Policy
works
by
degrees
;
first
the
graft
,
then
the
tree
;
after
that
,
the
blossome
:
next
that
,
the
fruit
:
first
meaner
Essays
,
and
then
higher
Actions
.
There
was
nothing
to
be
attempted
at
home
,
until
we
were
secured
and
feared
from
abroad
;
he
therefore
leads
the
Vantguard
against
the
Scots
so
successfully
,
that
he
is
made
Earl
of
Warwick
.
Here
his
spirit
had
ensnared
him
,
had
not
his
conduct
brought
him
off
.
When
the
Protector
refused
a
Combat
as
not
becoming
him
,
Warwick
offereth
one
:
Bring
me
word
(
said
he
to
the
Herald
that
brought
the
Protector
a
Challenge
from
the
Lord
Huntley
)
that
thy
Master
will
perform
the
Combat
with
me
,
and
thou
shalt
have
an
hundred
Crowns
for
thy
pains
.
But
a
publick
Conduct
becomes
a
General
better
then
personal
Valour
;
and
he
must
so
far
onely
remember
he
is
a
Souldier
,
as
not
to
forget
he
is
a
Commander
,
and
so
a
whole
Army
too
.
Against
the
Rebels
in
Devonshire
so
happy
he
was
that
upon
his
discreet
Overture
of
Pardon
,
(
Mercie
is
a
Vertue
with
Valour
,
and
but
a
Weakness
with
Cowardize
)
and
coming
in
person
to
assur
〈…〉
them
of
it
,
they
saying
,
They
knew
him
so
honourable
,
that
if
he
came
himself
they
would
embrace
it
;
threw
down
their
Arms
,
and
submitted
to
Mercie
.
Against
the
French
,
that
took
the
opportunity
of
those
Turmoyls
,
he
was
so
prosperous
,
that
he
sent
them
home
from
Jersey
and
Guernsey
with
the
loss
of
two
thousand
men
.
Honour
he
had
enough
,
and
Power
too
,
yet
not
what
he
aimed
at
;
(
our
Souls
are
infinite
as
in
their
duration
,
so
in
their
capacity
.
)
Ambition
is
like
choler
,
which
is
an
humour
that
maketh
men
active
,
earnest
,
full
of
alacrity
and
stirring
,
if
it
be
not
stopped
;
but
if
it
be
stopped
,
and
cannot
have
its
way
,
it
becometh
adust
,
and
thereby
malign
and
venomous
:
So
aspiring
men
,
if
progressive
and
successful
(
their
passage
to
advancement
being
clear
)
are
rather
active
then
perilous
;
but
if
curbed
with
some
obstructions
,
their
secret
discontent
casts
an
evil
aspect
upon
all
persons
and
actions
,
and
becomes
rather
dangerous
than
serviceable
.
This
great
Earl's
greater
minde
was
useful
,
when
prosperous
abroad
;
but
at
home
troublesome
,
when
finding
a
plain
man
in
his
way
to
height
,
great
in
his
power
,
greater
in
his
Soveraigns
affections
,
and
greatest
of
all
in
his
knowing
Brother
;
whose
Spirit
bare
up
his
Authority
,
as
his
Authority
supported
His
Courage
:
In
that

mans
Brest
there
was
a
Prudence
that
could
reach
,
and
a
stoutness
that
could
balance
this
at
once
close
and
fierce
man
.
Interest
and
Blood
united
these
Brothers
so
strongly
,
that
there
was
no
dividing
of
them
,
but
by
practising
on
their
Wives
,
whose
Humours
were
above
their
Interest
,
and
Fancy
above
their
Relation
.
Their
precedence
is
made
a
question
at
Court
,
where
it
bred
first
a
distance
,
and
upon
an
Interview
contrived
in
this
Lords
house
,
a
difference
;
that
difference
is
improved
to
an
animosity
,
(
he
can
do
little
that
cannot
blow
up
a
spark
in
a
Womans
Brest
to
a
flame
)
that
animosity
to
malice
,
and
malice
cannot
dwell
long
in
those
weaker
brests
without
a
mischief
;
mischief
they
cannot
do
themselves
:
(
The
Ivy
cleaves
to
the
Oak
,
and
these
Women
to
their
Husbands
,
though
both
ruine
the
things
they
cling
to
:
)
What
suggestions
!
What
insinuations
!
What
pretty
fears
and
jealousies
▪
What
little
tales
and
passions
!
Yet
continual
droppings
wear
a
Stone
:
The
Womens
discords
derive
themselves
into
the
Husbands
hearts
,
until
the
Admiral
falls
,
and
leaves
the
Protector
to
his
own
Integrity
:
Whose
large
Trust
and
infinite
Business
could
not
but
bewray
him
to
some
Errour
,
as
his
great
Power
did
to
much
Envy
,
that
first
devested
him
of
that
Power
,
and
then
of
his
Life
.
There
is
not
a
more
admirable
Wisdom
directing
the
contrarieties
of
Nature
to
an
Harmony
,
than
there
is
a
close
reach
in
some
men
to
reconcile
variety
of
Humours
,
Affections
,
Oppositions
,
Rancounters
,
Events
and
Changes
to
one
Design
.
The
Protectors
easiness
is
betrayed
to
confidence
;
his
too
late
fears
,
to
a
confidence
at
first
,
and
at
last
to
irregularities
:
the
hopes
of
some
were
encouraged
;
the
grievances
of
others
were
aggravated
and
pitied
;
the
envy
of
a
third
part
was
excited
;
and
He
the
soul
in
all
and
every
part
of
the
action
.
The
Protector
was
free
spirited
,
open-hearted
,
humble
,
hard
to
distrust
,
easie
to
forgive
:
The
Earl
was
proud
,
subtle
,
close
,
cruel
and
implacable
;
and
therefore
it
was
impar
congressus
between
them
,
almost
with
as
much
disadvantage
as
between
a
naked
and
an
armed
person
.
Two
nets
are
laid
to
take
the
Protector
;
the
one
breaks
,
the
other
holds
:
The
Treason
was
onely
to
give
a
Report
,
the
Felony
for
designing
the
death
of
the
Earl
of
Warwick
a
Privy
Counsellour
,
did
the
execution
.
He
being
removed
out
of
the
way
,
this
Earl
of
Warwick
,
as
his
Predecessor
,
meditates
the
honour
of
King-making
.
To
this
purpose
he
joyns
himself
by
alliance
to
the
best
Families
,
and
advanceth
his
children
by
employments
to
the
greatest
trusts
;
particularly
(
what
Sir
Richard
Baker
saith
had
been
better
if
it
had
never
been
)
his
Son
Robert
(
afterward
Earl
of
Leicester
)
was
sworn
one
of
the
six
ordinary
Gentlemen
of
the
Kings
Chamber
:
upon
which
particular
the
foresaid
Historian
observeth
,
That
after
his
coming
into
a
place
so
near
him
,
the
King
enjoyed
his
health
but
a
while
.
The
Duke
of
Somerset
is
trained
by
his
enemies
to
such
fears
and
jealousies
,
as
transport
him
beyond
his
own
good
nature
,
to
an
attempt
one
morning
upon
the
Earl
of
Warwick
,
now
Duke
of
Northumberland
,
abed
;
where
being
received
with
much
kindness
,
his
heart
relented
,
and
he
came
off
re
infecta
.
At
his
coming
out
,
one
of
his
company
asked
him
if
he
had
done
the
deed
?
he
answered
,
No.
Then
said
he
,
You
are
your self
undone
.
And
indeed
it
so
fell
out
:
for
when
all
other
Accusations
were
refelled
,
this
onely
stuck
by
him
,
and
could
not
be
denyed
;
and
so
he
was
found
guilty
by
a
Statute
of
his
own
procurement
,
viz.
That
if
any
should
attempt
to
kill
a
Priby-Counsellour
,
although
the
fact
were
not
done
,
yet
it
should
be
Felony
,
and
to
be
punished
with
death
.
This
,
notwithstanding
many
Divertisements
used
,
went
so
near
the
consumptive
Kings
heart
,
that
he
prepares
for
death
.
The
Duke
now
within
ken
of
his
designe
,
considering
the
Kings
affection
for
Reformation
,
the
Lords
and
other
Purchasers
kindness
for
Church-lands
,
the
Judges
fear
,
the
Courtiers
compliance
,
carried
on
a
Will
with
a
high
hand
,
(
trembling
with
anger
,
saith
Judge
Mountague
,
if
any
opposed
him
;
yea
,
saying
,
That
he
would
fight
in
his
Shirt
with
any
that
contradicted
it
)
wherein
the
Crown
was
bestowed
on
Jane
Grey
,
his
fourth
Sons
Wife
,
(
the
Princesses
Mary
and
Elizabeth
being
laid
aside
.
)
But
he
forgot
(
as
what
man
,
though
never
so
reaching
,
can
consider
all
things
?
)
that
there
is
an
invisible
Power
in
Right
,
that
there
is
a
natural
Antipathy
in
English
men
against
Usurpation
,
and
as
great
an
inclination
for
the
succession
:
A
Point
they
had
conned
so
well
of
late
out
of
the
Statute
made
for
that
purpose
,
that
they
could
not
well
be
put
out
of
it
by
this
new-started
Designe
.
The
People
stand
by
Queen
Mary
:
the
Council
notwithstanding
their
Engagement
to
stand
by
him
at
his
going
away
,
(
when
he
observed
in
Shore-ditch
that
the
People
gazed
on
him
,
but
bid
him
not
God
speed
;
and
he
told
the
Lords
,
They
might
purchase
their
safety
with
his
ruine
.
To
which
one
of
the
Lords
replyed
,
Your
Grace
makes
a
doubt
of
that
which
cannot
be
:
for
which
of
us
all
can
wash
his
hands
clear
of
this
business
?
)
proclaimed
the
Queen
at
London
,
as
he
doth
at
Cambridge
;
where
yet
the
Earl
of
Arundel
(
who
offered
his
life
at
his
feet
when
he
marched
out
:
O
the
Vicissitudes
of
this
lower
world
!
)
arrests
him
resolutely
,
and
he
submits
weakly
,
first
to
an
Imprisonment
,
and
then
to
a
Tryal
and
Execution
.
The
first
night
he
came
to
Cambridge
,
all
the
Doctors
supped
with
him
;
and
Doctor
Sandys
is
appointed
to
preach
before
him
next
day
.
The
Doctor
late
at
night
betakes
himself
to
his
Prayers
and
Study
,
desiring
God
to
direct
him
to
a
fit
Text
for
that
time
.
His
Bible
openeth
at
the
first
of
Joshua
,
and
(
though
he
heard
no
voice
with
St.
Augustine
,
saying
,
Tolle
&
lege
)
a
strong
fancy
inclined
him
to
fix
on
the
first
words
he
beheld
,
v.
16.
And
they
answered
Joshua
,
saying
,
All
that
thou
commandest
us
,
we
will
do
;
and
whithersoever
thou
sendest
,
we
will
go
:
A
Text
he
so
wisely
and
warily
handled
,
that
his
Enemies
got
not
so
full
advantage
against
him
as
they
expected
.
The
next
day
the
Duke
advanced
to
Bury
with
his
Army
,
whose
feet
marched
forward
while
their
minds
move
backward
.
Upon
the
News
brought
him
,
he
returned
to
Cambridge
,
with
more
sad
thoughts
within
him
,
then
valiant
Souldiers
about
him
.
Then
went
he
with
the
Mayor
of
the
Town
,
and
proclaimed
the
Queen
;
the
Beholders
whereof
more
believing
the
grief
in
his
eyes
when
they
let
down
tears
,
then
the
joy
professed
by
his
hands
when
he
threw
up
his
Cap.
Slegge
Sergeant
at
Arms
arrests
him
in
Kings-Colledge
;
and
when
the
Proclamation
of
Pardon
set
him
at
liberty
,
the
Earl
of
Arundel
re-arrests
him
,
at
whose
feet
he
craves
mercy
;
a
low
posture
in
so
high
a
person
!
But
what
more
poor
and
prostrate
then
Pride

,
when

extremity
?
Behold
we
this
Duke
as
the
Mirrour
of
Humane
Unhappiness
!
As
Nevil
Earl
of
Warwick
was
the
make-King
,
so
this
Dudley
Earl
of
Warwick
was
the
make-Queen
.
He
was
Chancellour
of
the
University
,
and
Steward
of
the
Town
of
Cambridge
;
two
Offices
which
never
before
or
since
met
in
the
same
person
.
Thus
as
Cambridge
was
his
Vertical
Poynt
,
wherein
he
was
in
the
heighth
of
Honour
;
so
it
was
his
Vertical
,
where
he
met
with
a
suddain
turn
,
and
a
sad
Catastrophe
.
And
it
is
remarkable
,
that
though
this
Duke
(
who
by
all
means
endeavoured
to
aggrand
his
Posterity
)
had
six
sons
,
all
men
,
all
married
,
none
of
them
left
any
issue
behind
them
.
Thus
far
better
it
is
to
found
our
hopes
of
even
earthly
happiness
on
Goodness
,
then
Greatness
.
Thus
far
the
Historian
.
It
was
Lewis
the
eleventh's
Motto
,
Pride
and
Presumption
go
before
,
Shame
and
Loss
follow
after
.
In
three
sorts
of
men
Ambition
is
good
:
1.
In
a
Souldier
,
to
quicken
him
.
2.
In
Favourites
,
to
balance
others
.
3.
In
great
States-men
,
to
undertake
invidious
Employments
:
For
no
man
will
take
that
part
except
he
be
like
a
seeled
Dove
,
that
mounts
and
mounts
because
he
cannot
see
about
him
.
And
in
these
men
it
's
safe
if
they
are
mean
in
their
original
,
harsh
in
their
nature
,
stirring
in
many
little
,
rather
then
in
any
great
business
.
Greater
in
his
own
interest
then
in
his
Followers
.
Humility
sojourneth
with
safety
and
honour
,
Pride
with
danger
and
unworthiness
.
No
man
below
an
Anointed
One
,
is
capable
of
an
unlimited
Power
;
a
temptation
too
great
for
Mortality
,
whose
highest
Interest
if
indulged
,
is
Self
;
and
if
checked
,
Malice
.
Dangerous
is
the
Power
of
an
aspiring
Person
near
a
Prince
,
more
dangerous
his
Disguise
,
as
who
acts
all
things
against
his
Master
by
his
Authority
.
Let
no
man
upon
this
example
ever
repose
so
much
upon
any
mans
single
Counsel
,
Fidelity
or
Discretion
,
as
to
create
in
himself
or
others
a
diffidence
of
his
own
Judgement
,
which
is
likely
to
be
most
faithful
and
true
to
a
mans
own
Interest
.
Let
every
man
have
some
things
that
no
man
shall
obtain
,
and
some
things
that
no
man
must
dare
ask
;
because
you
see
here
,
if
we
let
all
go
without
reserve
,
our
Reputation
is
lost
in
the
world
by
the
Reputation
our
Favourite
gains
with
us
.
There
was
in
Rome
a
certain
man
named
Enatius
,
somewhat
entred
in
Age
,
and
of
natural
condition
mutinous
,
ambitious
,
and
troublesome
:
Adrian
being
advertised
that
he
was
dead
,
fell
into
a
great
laughter
,
and
sware
,
That
he
could
not
but
wonder
he
could
intend
to
die
,
considering
what
great
business
he
had
night
and
day
.
Considering
how
many
Affairs
he
had
to
manage
,
how
many
cross
accidents
to
accommodate
,
I
wonder
what
time
he
had
to
die
:
And
considering
his
many
pretences
for
the
Protestant
Religion
,
especially
that
for
King
Edward's
,
I
wonder
with
what
face
he
could
die
a
Papist
.
But
I
have
forgot
my self
:
for
there
are
two
sorts
of
persons
in
Machiavel
that
must
either
not
believe
,
or
not
profess
any
Religion
:
The
first
,
the
States-man
,
that
acts
in
publick
Affairs
;
the
second
,
the
Historian
,
that
writes
them
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
William
Peter
.
HE
was
born
in
that
great
Nursery
of
Parts
,
Devonshire
;
and
bred
in
a
greater
,
Exeter-Colledge
.
That
Colledge
made
him
a
Scholar
,
and
All-Souls
a
Man
.
His
capacity
was
contemplative
,
and
his
Genius
active
;
observing
,
rather
then
reading
;
with
his
eye
more
on
men
,
then
Books
;
studying
behaviour
,
rather
then
notion
;
to
be
accomplished
,
rather
then
knowing
;
and
not
to
erre
in
the
main
,
rather
then
to
be
excellent
in
circumstance
.
His
Body
set
off
his
Parts
with
a
grave
dignity
of
presence
,
rather
then
a
soft
beauty
of
aspect
:
His
favour
was
more
taking
then
his
colour
,
and
his
motion
more
then
his
favour
;
and
all
such
,
as
made
his
early
Vices
blush
,
and
his
riper
Vertues
shine
.
The
Earl
of
Wiltshire
first
pitched
upon
him
for
his
Sons
Tutor
,
and
then
for
his
own
Companion
.
Noble
Families
set
off
hopeful
Parts
,
and
improve
them
.
Cromwel's
quick
eye
one
day
at
my
Lord
,
spyeth
his
Personage
,
and
observes
his
Carriage
.
(
He
was
a
man
himself
,
and
understood
one
.
)
Nothing
would
satisfie
him
,
but
that
the
young
Gentleman
should
come
to
Court
,
and
go
to
Travel
.
King
Henry
loved
any
All-Souls
man
,
but
was
enamoured
with
him
,
in
whom
concurred
the
three
Perquisites
of
that
Society
.
-
1.
A
Gentile
Extraction
.
-
2.
A
graceful
Behaviour
.
-
3.
Competent
Learning
.
The
young
man
designed
for
business
,
was
to
travel
for
Education
,
and
the
Scholar
for
Experience
.
1.
His
Pension
is
allowed
him
,
125
l.
a
year
.
2.
His
Tutor
is
assigned
,
who
had
been
there
before
,
and
could
instruct
him
what
he
should
see
,
where
he
should
go
,
what
acquaintance
to
entertain
,
what
exercise
or
discipline
to
undergo
.
3.
His
Instructions
were
drawn
up
:
as
,
1.
That
he
should
keep
a
Diary
of
what
the
chiefest
places
and
the
eminent
persons
,
either
apart
or
in
Conventions
,
yielded
worthy
of
Remarque
and
Observation
.
2.
To
have
before
him
a
Map
or
Card
of
every
place
he
goeth
to
.
3.
Not
to
stay
long
in
any
one
place
.
4.
To
converse
with
no
Englishmen
but
Agents
,
Embassadors
,
or
such
grave
persons
as
his
Majesty
would
direct
him
to
.
5.
To
endeavour
after
Recommendations
from
persons
of
quality
in
one
place
,
to
those
in
another
;
keeping
still
his
correspondence
with
the
most
publick
and
eminent
persons
of
every
respective
place
.
Within
five
years
he
returned
a
compleat
Gentleman
,
correcting
the
Vices
of
one
Country
with
the
Vertues
of
another
;
and
being
one
happy
Composition
of
every
Region
.
Sir
John
Philpot
was
not
so
much
the
worse
,
as
Sir
William
was
the
better
for
travel
;
He
returning
the
shame
of
all
Nations
;
of
his
own
,
by
his
weakness
abroad
;
of
others
,
by
their
follies
at
home
:
This
coming
home
the
honour
of
his
own
by
his
abilities
abroad
,
of
others
by
his
perfections
at
home
.
Two
things
improved
his
travel
:
-
1.
An
Artificial
and
careless
freedome
,
that
opened
others
.
-
2.
A
natural
gravity
,
that
shut
him
up
,
and
was
more
capable
of
observing
their
Vertues
,
and
escaping
their
Vices
.
Peter
Earl
of
Savoy
came
to
do
his
homage
to
Otho
the
fourth
in
a
double
attire
;
on
the
one
side
Cloth
of
Gold
,
on
the
other
shining
Armour
:
the
Emperour
asked
him
what
meant
that
Lindsey-Woolsey
?
he
answered
,
Sir
,
the
attire
on
the
right
side
is
to
honour
your
Majesty
,
that
on
the
left
is
to
serve
you
.
Sir
William
Peter
returns
with
those
Gayeties
of
carriages
on
the
one
hand
that
might
adorn
a
Court
,
and
with
those
abilities
on
the
other
that
might
support
it
.
His
first
employment
was
the
Charts
,
the
Latine
Letters
,
and
the
Forreign
Negotiation
;
the
next
,
was
Principal
Secretary
:
In
which
Office
,
Wriothesley
was
rough
and
stubborn
,
Paget

,
Cecil
close
,
Mason
plain
,
Smith
noble
;
Peter
was
smooth
,
reserved
,
resolved
,
and
yet
obliging
.
Both
the
Laws
he
was
Doctor
of
,
and
both
the
Laws
he
made
use
of
;
the
Civil
Law
to
direct
Forreign
Negotiations
,
and

other

Que
〈…〉
by
Henry

Deputation
,
and
no
less
to
King
Edward
by
his
Will.
A
man
would
wonder
how
this
man
made
a
shift
to
serve
four
Princes
of
such
distant
Interests
as
King
Henry
,
King
Edward
,
Queen
Mary
,
Queen
Elizabeth
;
until
he
recollects
the
French
King
,
who
enquired
of
a
wise
man
how
he
might
govern
himself
and
his
Kingdome
?
the
wise
man
took
a
fair
large
sheet
of
Paper
,
and
in
stead
of
an
infinite
number
of
Precepts
,
which
others
use
to
offer
upon
that
subject
,
he
onely
writ
this
word
,
Modus
,
A
Mean
.
In
King
Henry's
time
he
observed
his
Humour
,
in
King
Edward's
he
kept
to
the
Law
,
in
Queen
Mary's
he
intended
wholly
State-affairs
,
and
in
Queen
Elizabeth's
he
was
religious
,
his
years
minding
him
of
death
,
and
his
death
of
his
faith
.
He
moved
with
the
first
Movers
in
most
transactions
to
his
apparent
danger
,
yet
he
had
motions
of
his
own
for
his
real
security
.
Able
he
was
at
home
,
and
very
dexterous
abroad
;
particularly
at
Bulloign
.
The
Philosophers
exercising
their
Gifts
before
an
Ambassador
,
he
asked
one
that
was
silent
what
he
should
say
of
him
?
Repart
to
your
King
(
saith
he
)
that
you
found
one
among
the
Graecians
that
knew
how
to
hold
his
tongue
.
Ab
,
(
said
Mounsieur
Cha●illon
)
we
had
gained
the
last
200000
Crowns
without
Hostages
,
had
〈…〉
t
not
been
for
the
man
that
said
nothing
,
(
meaning
Secretary
Peter
.
)
Neither
was
he
better
at
keeping
his
own
counsel
,
then
at
discovering
other
mens
;
as
appeared
by
the
intelligence
he
had
,
that
the
Emperour
had
sent
Ships
to
transport
the
Lady
Mary
into
Germany
,
in
case
the
King
would
not
allow
her
the
practice
of
her
Religion
,
(
though
three
men
knew
not
that
Designe
in
the
German
Court
)
whereupon
he
fetched
her
to
Leez
;
and
thence
,
under
the
notion
of
preparing
for
Sea-matters
,
he
sent
over
five
thousand
pounds
to
relieve
the
Protestants
.
Active
he
was
about
the
Will
in
compliance
with
his
duty
to
King
Edward
,
but
as
nimble
in
his
intelligence
suitably
to
his
Allegiance
to
Queen
Mary
;
whom
he
assisted
in
two
Particulars
:
1.
In
making
the
Match
:
2.
In
searching
the
bottom
of
Wiat's
Insurrection
:
therefore
,
-
1.
When
the
Church-lands
went
against
her
conscience
,
Sir
William
peter
must
be
sent
for
.
-
2.
When
the
Pope
sent
another
Legate
to
turn
out
Pool
,
he
must
be
sent
for
;
(
who
advised
her
to
forbid
him
this
Land
,
as
she
very
resolutely
did
.
)
As
serviceable
was
he
to
Queen
Elizabeth
,
till
his
Age
not
being
able
to
go
through
the
difficulties
,
and
his
Conscience
being
impatient
of
the
severities
of
those
busie
and
harsh
times
,
he
retired
to
Essex
,
where
his
Estate
was
great
,
and
his
Charity
greater
:
both
which
he
bequeathed
his
Son
John
,
who
was
by
King
James
made
Baron
of
Writtle
in
that
County
.

When
he
reflected
on
his
Royal
[
](A48796-e47090-b)*
*
His
Mother
was
Daughter
to
the
Duke
of
Clarence
,
and
Granchild
to
Edward
the
IV
Relation
,
he
w
〈…〉
enjealousied
to
hard
thoughts
of
restraint
and
security
;
when
he
observed
his
modest
Hopefulness
,
he
was
obliged
to
those
more
mild
of
Education
and
Care
,
as
more
honourable
than
the
other
,
and
a
safe
:
Religion
and
Study
would
enfeeble
that
Spirit
to
quiet
contemplation
,
which
more
manlike
exercises
might
ennoble
for
Business
and
Action
.
It
was
but
mewing
him
up
in
a
study
with
hopes
of
a
Mitre
,
and
there
would
be
no
danger
of
his
ambition
to
the
Crown
.
The
Privacies
of
the
School
and
Colledge
made
him
a
stranger
to
the
transactions
of
Court
;
and
he
was
to
follow
his
Book
,
that
he
might
not
understand
himself
.
His
preferments
were
competent
to
content
him
,
and
yet
but
mean
to
expose
him
.
Three
things
concurred
to
his
escape
from
King
Henry's
Toyl
.
-
1.
His
Relations
ambition
,
that
could
not
endure
he
should
be
wrapped
in
Black
,
that
was
born
to
be
clothed
in
Purple
.
-
2.
His
own
Inclination
to
adde
Experience
to
his
Learning
.
-
3.
The
Kings
Policy
,
to
maintain
him
abroad
,
who
could
not
safely
keep
at
home
.
No
sooner
arriveth
he
at
Paris
,
than
the
Pope
ca
〈…〉
esseth
him
as
a
person
fit
to
promote
his
Interest
:
The
House
of
York
supports
him
,
as
one
that
kept
〈…〉
p
their
Claim
;
and
the
general
Discontent
crieth
him
up
as
one
that
was
now
the
Hope
of
England
,
and
might
be
its
Relief
.
That
he
might
not
come
short
of
their
Expectation
,
or
his
own
Right
,
his
large
capacity
takes
in
the
Learning
of
most
Universities
,
observeth
the
way
of
most
Nations
,
and
keeps
correspendence
with
all
eminent
men
:
The
first
of
these
improved
his
Learning
,
the
second
his
Experience
,
the
third
his
Converse
.
The
Marquess
of
Exeter
,
the
Lord
Mountacute
,
Sir
Nicholas
Carew
,
Sir
Edward
Nevil
,
Sir
Geoffery
Poole
,
would
have
made
him
a
King
,
(
but
to
gain
him
a
Crown
,
they
lost
their
own
Heads
)
and
Pope
Julius
made
him
a
Kings
Fellow
;
but
he
was
never
Head
of
this
Church
since
he
put
the
Red
Hat
on
this
Cardinal
.
The
King
had
him
declared
for
a
Traytor
in
England
,
and
he
him
excommunicated
for
a
Heretick
at
Rome
.
His
Friends
are
cut
off
by
the
King
at
home
,
and
the
Kings
Enemies
cherished
by
him
abroad
.
But
Princes
are
mortal
,
though
their
hatred
not
so
:
For
before
the
Kings
death
,
he
would
needs
be
reconciled
to
Pool
,
and
as
some
thought
,
by
him
to
Rome
;
wherefore
he
sends
to
him
now
in
great
esteem
in
Italy
,
desiring
his
opinion
of
his
late
Actions
clearly
,
and
in
few
words
:
Glad
was
Pool
of
this
occasion
to
dispatch
to
him
his
Book
de
Vnione
Eeclesiarum
,
inveighing
against
his
Supremacy
,
and
concluding
with
an
advice
to
Henry
to
reconcile
himself
to
the
Catholick
Church
,
and
the
Pope
〈…〉
Head
thereof
.
Our
King
having
perused
this
,
a
〈…〉
knowing
it
could
not
lie
hid
in
Italy
(
though
P
〈…〉
had
promised
not
to
publish
it
)
sends
for
him
b●
Post
to
come
into
England
,
to
explain
some
Passag
〈…〉
thereof
:
but
Pool
knowing
that
it
was
declar
〈…〉
Treason
there
to
deny
the
Kings
Supremacie
,
refused
;
desiring
the
King
nevertheless
in
Letters
to
him
and
Tonstal
,
to
take
hold
of
the
present
time
,
and
redintegrate
himself
with
the
Pope
;
whereby
he
might
secure
his
Authority
,
and
advance
it
with
the
honour
of
being
the
cause
of
a
Reformation
of
the
Church
in
Doctrine
and
Manners
.
King
Edward
is
King
of
England
,
and
the
Cardinal
like
to
be
Pope
of
Rome
,
keeping
pace
with
the
Royal
Family
;
He
Head
of
the
Church
Catholick
,
They
of
that
in
England
:
But
King
Edward's
weakness
of
Body
suffered
him
not
long
to
enjoy
his
Throne
,
and
the
Cardinals
narrowness
and
easiness
of
spirit
suffered
him
not
at
all
to
sit
in
his
chair
.
For
upon
Paul
the
Third's
death
,
the
Cardinals
being
divided
about
the
Election
,
the
Imperial
part
,
which
was
the
greatest
,
gave
their
voice
for
Cardinal
Pool
;
which
being
told
him
,
he
disabled
himself
,
and
wished
them
to
chuse
one
that
might
be
most
for
the
glory
of
God
,
and
good
of
the
Church
.
Upon
this
stop
,
some
that
were
no
friends
to
Pool
,
and
perhaps
looked
for
the
place
themselves
,
if
he
were
put
off
,
layed
many
things
to
his
charge
;
among
other
things
,
That
he
was
not
without
suspition
of
Lutheranism
,
nor
without
blemish
of
Incontinence
:
but
he
cleared
himself
so
handsomely
,
that
he
was
now
more
importuned
to
take
the
place
then
before
,
and
therefore
one
night
(
they
say
)
the
Cardinal
came
to
him
being
in
bed
,
and
sent
word
they
came
to
adore
him
,
(
a
circumstance
of
the
new
Popes
Honour
)
but
he
being
waked
out
of
his
sleep
,
and
acquainted
with
it
,
made
answer
,
That
this
was
not
a
work
of
darkness
,
and
therefore
required
them
to
forbear
until
next
day
,
and
then
do
as
God
should
put
in
their
mindes
.
But
the
Italian
Cardinals
attributing
this
put-off
to
a
kinde
of
stupidity
and
sloth
in
Pool
,
looked
no
more
after
him
,
but
the
next
day
chose
Cardinal
Montanus
Pope
,
who
was
afterwards
named
Julius
the
Third
.
I
have
heard
of
many
that
would
have
been
Popes
,
but
could
not
;
I
write
this
man
one
that
could
have
been
one
,
but
would
not
.
But
though
he
would
not
be
Pope
of
Rome
,
yet
when
Mary
was
Queen
,
he
was
one
of
England
;
where
he
was
Legate
,
and
if
it
had
not
been
for
the
Emperour
,
had
been
King
:
For
as
soon
as
she
was
in
the
Throne
of
England
,
he
was
sent
for
out
of
Italy
into
the
Chair
of
Canterbury
;
but
Charles
the
Emperour
,
by
the
Popes
power
,
secretly
retarded
his
return
,
fearing
it
might
obstruct
the
propounded
marriage
between
his
Son
and
the
Queen
.
Indeed
the
Queen
bare
the
Cardinal
an
unfeigned
affection
for
six
reasons
:
1.
For
his
grave
and
becoming
presence
,
that
endeared
him
no
less
to
those
that
saw
him
,
then
his
parts
and
prudence
did
to
those
that
conversed
with
him
:
The
Diamond
is
then
orient
,
when
set
in
Gold
.
2.
For
his
disposition
,
as
calm
as
her
Majesties
,
and
as
meek
as
his
Profession
.
3.
For
his
Age
:
being
about
ten
years
older
,
the
proportion
allowed
by
the
Philosopher
between
Husband
and
Wife
.
4.
For
Alliance
:
she
being
daughter
to
Henry
the
Eighth
,
and
he
Grandchild
to
Edward
the
Fourth
.
5.
For
his
Education
with
Her
,
under
his
Mother
.
6.
For
his
Religion
,
for
which
he
was
an
Exile
,
as
she
was
a
Prisoner
,
and
both
Confessors
.
But
now
when
the
marriage
with
Prince
Philip
was
consummated
,
Pool
at
last
got
leave
for
England
;
and
to
wipe
away
all
suspition
of
Lutheranism
,
wherewith
he
was
formerly
taxed
,
he
became
a
cruel
,
that
he
might
be
believed
a
cordial
Papist
:

meeting
in
Brabant
with
Emanuel
Tremelius
,
requesting
some
favour
from
him
,
he
not
onely
denied
him
relief
,
but
returned
him
rayling
terms
;
though
formerly
he
was
not
onely
his
very
familiar
Friend
,
but
his
God-father
too
,
when
of
a
Jew
he
turned
Christian
.
Arrived
in
England
,
(
as
the
Historian
goeth
on
)
he
was
first
ordained
Priest
,
being
but
Deacon
before
,
and
then
consecrated
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
,
the
Queen
being
present
,
at
Bow
;
where
rich
in
costly
Robes
,
and
sitting
on
a
guilded
Throne
,
his
Pall
was
presented
to
him
:
Adorned
,
he
presently
mounts
the
Pulpit
,
and
makes
a
dry
Sermon
of
the
use
and
honour
of
the
Pall
,
without
either
Language
or
matter
;
all
admiring
the
jejuness
of
his
Discourse
,
as
if
putting
off
his
Parts
,
when
putting
on
his
Pall.
He
made
the
breach
formerly
between
England
and
Rome
,
by
exasperating
both
sides
:
he
now
reconciles
it
,
obliging
many
by
his
carriage
,
awing
as
many
by
his
presence
,
dazling
all
by
his
pomp
and
splendour
.
Now
he
confirmeth
the
Institution
of
Clergy-men
into
their
Benefices
;
he
legitimateth
the
Children
of
forbidden
marriages
;
he
ratifieth
the
Processes
and
Sentences
in
matters
Ecclesiastical
;
and
his
Dispensations
were
confirmed
by
Act
of
Parliament
.
Two
things
he
was
intent
upon
:
1.
The
Church-Priviledges
;
whereof
one
he
procured
was
,
That
the
Clergy
should
not
shew
their
Horses
with
the
Layty
,
but
under
Captains
of
their
own
chusing
.
2.
The
Spanish
Interest
;
and
therefore
Paul
the
fourth
,
who
was
as
intent
upon
the
French
,
and
looked
upon
the
Legate
as
the
principal
Promoter
of
the
last
War
in
France
,
sends
Cardinal
Peito
to
ease
him
of
his
Legantine
Power
in
England
.
But
the
Queen
so
ordered
the
matter
,
that
by
her
Prerogative
she
prohibited
Peito
entrance
into
England
,
and
got
the
foresaid
Power
established
and
confirmed
on
Cardinal
Pool
,
as
she
did
likewise
1000
l.
2
year
for
his
better
support
out
of
the
Bishoprick
of
Winchester
.
The
more
he
lived
in
England
,
the
more
he
was
Italianized
;
conversing
with
their
Merchants
,
and
practising
their
thrift
;
his
Pomp
being
(
saith
my
Author
)
rather
gaudy
then
costly
,
and
his
attendance
more
ceremonious
then
expensive
.
Fearful
he
was
of
a
Bank
here
,
(
if
Queen
Mary
died
)
careful
of
one
beyond
Sea
if
he
lived
:
therefore
as
he
sends
all
his
Estate
to
Italy
by
his
▪
Will
when
he
died
,
so
he
did
most
of
it
by
Bills
of
Exchange
while
he
lived
:
the
first
was
judged
his
▪
Policy
,
(
the
heart
whereof
is
prevention
)
the
second
his
Gratitude
,
bestowing
his
Superfluities
on
them
who
had
relieved
his
Necessities
.
Of
all
his
Estate
,
Aloisius
Priol
took
but
the
Breviary
he
had
always
in
his
Pocket
,
so
devout
he
was
!
and
the
Diary
he
had
always
in
his
Closet
,
so
exact
he
was
to
observe
what
was
done
by
others
,
and
recollect
what
had
escaped
himself
▪
Die
he
did
not
of
Italian
Physick
wilfully
taken
by
himself
,
as
Mr.
Fox
suggests
;
nor
of
English
Poyson
,
given
him
by
the
Protestants
,
as
Osorius
affirms
;
but
of
a
Quartain
Ague
,
then
Epidemical
in
England
,
and
malignant
above
the
ordinary
nature
of
that
Disease
.
This
man
was
a
Catholick
in
his
Interest
and
Charity
,
and
a
Protestant
in
his
Conscience
.
We
cannot
(
was
his
saying
)
give
too
much
to
Gods
grace
,
nor
too
little
to
our
own
merits
.
He
said
when
he
came
to
England
,
I
came
hither
not
to
condemn
,
but
reconcile
;
not
to
compel
,
but
desire
.
He
would
burn
the
Ashes
of
one
or
two
Protestants
when
dead
,
to
avoid
the
suspition
of
Heresie
;
but
the
Bodies
of
none
when
alive
,
to
contract
the
real
guilt
of
Cruelty
.
In
Council
sound
were
his
Debates
for
the
main
;
circumspect
his
Suggestions
of
Circumstances
;
reaching
his
foresight
of
Consequences
:
wary
his
Precautions
of
Impediments
;
moderate
and
soft
his
Advices
;
prompt
and
steady
his
Expeditions
;
happy
his
Memory
;
many
his
Observations
;
large
his
Reading
;
strong
his
Spirit
;
solid
his
Judgement
;
sharp
his
Apprehension
;
fluent
,
but
weighed
;
full
,
but
pertinent
;
grave
,
but
quick
his
Discourse
:
what
he
pronounced
,
was
a
Decree
with
Queen
Mary
;
what
he
said
,
was
Law
with
King
Philip
〈…〉
His
naked
Proposition
was
Demonstration
;
his
Word
Reason
,
fetched
from
the
Principles
of
things
,
and
grounded
on
their
Causes
.
His
Modesty
never
sued
for
Greatness
,
though
that
sued
for
him
:
for
great
men
he
said
were
lave
to
six
things
:
1.
To
mens
humours
;

To
business
;
3.
To
Fortune
;
4.
To
their
own
Followers
;
5.
To
Fame
;
and
,
6.
To
the
Publick
I
will
say
no
more
of
him
,
but
that
Modesty
undoeth
a
Maid
,
and
is
the
fool
onely
that
puts
Vertue
out
of
Countenance
.
Bashfulness
is
at
best
but
a
weak
and
treacherous
Vertue
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
John
Russel
.
HIs
Name
and
his
Valour
is
as
ancient
as
the
Conquest
;
Vertue
flowing
in
every
Age
of
that
Family
with
its
Honour
and
Worth
,
keeping
pace
with
their
Advancements
.
In
every
man
that
we
meet
with
,
there
are
three
things
that
immediately
offer
themselves
to
our
Consideration
:
-
1.
The
Mind
.
-
2.
The
Behaviour
.
And
-
3.
The
Person
.
His
Mind
was
befriended
by
Nature
with
a
quickness
and
a
capaciousness
,
helped
by
publick
Education
to
a
solidity
and
stayedness
;
improved
in
Travel
with
Observation
,
and
raised
by
the
slow
,
but
happy
degrees
of
his
Preferments
to
Skill
and
Experience
.
They
had
need
be
slow
and
wary
in
that
place
where
there
is
no
failing
the
second
time
,
the
first
errour
being
irremediable
:
therefore
well-ordered
Policy
imitateth
Nature
,
which
worketh
slowly
,
and
step
by
step
,
causing
the
Blade
to
come
from
the
Grain
,
the
Tree
from
the
Graft
,
the
Blossom
from
the
Tree
,
and
Fruit
from
the
Blossom
:
so
(
saith
my
Author
)
ought
Policy
to
raise
great
persons
from
one
degree
to
another
;
to
the
end
,
that
having
made
their
Essays
in
meaner
matters
,
they
may
finish
their
Master-pieces
in
more
eminent
Affairs
.
2.
He
that
demeans
himself
well
,
is
ever
ushered
in
by
a
friend
that
recommends
him
to
the
company
that
knew
him
not
.
Sir
John
had
a
moving
beauty
that
waited
on
his
whole
Body
,
as
that
standing
one
doth
upon
the
Face
and
Complexion
:
Such
a
grace
and
comeliness
waited
on
his
Noble
Meen
,
as
exacted
a
liking
,
if
not
a
love
from
all
that
beheld
him
.
A
midling
Clarity
and
quickness
is
best
in
Wine
,
that
is
,
neither
too
thick
upon
the
Lees
,
nor
yet
too
quick
:
our
Knights
comportment
and
carriage
was
neither
dull
nor
vapouring
,
neither
gross
nor
affected
,
but
of
a
becoming
temper
,
at
equal
distance
with
the
Clown
and
the
Pedant
,
what
's
contemptible
,
and
what
's
invidious
.
3.
But
both
these
were
set
off
with
his
Person
,
of
a
middle
stature
,
neither
tall
to
a
formidableness
,
nor
short
to
a
contempt
:
straight
and
proportioned
,
vigorous
and
active
,
with
that
pure
blood
and
spirits
that
flowed
and
flowred
within
his
swelling
Veins
,
and
disposed
him
to
those
natural
and
innocent
,
those
manly
and
noble
Exercises
of
Dancing
,
&c.
Dancing
,
I
say
,
which
he
was
not
exquisite
in
,
for
that
is
vanity
;
nor
ignorant
of
,
for
that
's
meanness
:
but
a
graceful
exercise
,
(
wherein
he
was
carelesly
easie
,
as
if
it
were
rather
natural
motion
,
then
curious
and
artificial
practising
)
which
endeared
his
severer
Vertues
to
that
place
where
the
worth
that
riseth
must
be
complaisant
and
pleasing
,
as
well
as
serviceable
and
useful
.
But
the
favour
which
proceeds
from
personal
grace
and
comeliness
,
although
it
seem
to
be
doubly
united
,
yet
it
is
that
which
is
soonest
dissolved
and
dissipated
,
there
being
nothing
so
inconstant
as
mens
humours
,
which
not
onely
change
through
Ages
,
but
also
by
some
small
occasion
or
accident
which
may
arise
:
Sir
John
therefore
brought
himself
into
Court
by
what
humoured
,
but
kept
himself
in
there
by
those
things
that
did
oblige
him
;
and
stood
not
upon
his
Majesties
pleasure
,
but
his
Interest
;
adding
to
his
more
aiery
Courtships
,
more
solid
Employments
.
From
the
softer
Court
therefore
we
must
follow
him
to
the
Camp
,
and
that
before
Terwyn
,
where
we
finde
him
daring
and
active
:
1.
In
skirmishing
the
French
every
day
;
2.
In
recovering
the
red
Gun
overthrown
in
a
Lane
from
10000
French
,
under
the
Earl
St.
Paul
as
General
,
with
250
resolute
Reformades
under
himself
but
Captain
;
although
he
was
once
taken
Prisoner
,
as
before
Calice
,
where
he
redeemed
himself
from
the
Officer
that
had
taken
him
for
250
Crowns
,
on
condition
he
would
conduct
him
safe
from
the
French
Quarter
,
as
the
man
did
,
until
they
were
gone
so
far
,
that
Sir
John
takes
him
Prisoner
,
compelling
him
to
the
Reimbursement
of
his
money
,
with
200
Crowns
more
,
to
be
bestowed
on
the
Common
Souldiers
.
As
severely
active
was
he
at
the
siege
of
Tournay
,
as
the
oldest
Souldier
;
and
yet
as
innocently
pleasant
at
the
Mask
there
,
as
the
youngest
Courtier
.
One
of
the
sixty
he
was
that
went
with
the
King
to
cut
off
the
Passage
between
that
City
and
the
Army
,
and
one
of
the
eleven
that
went
with
his
Majesty
to
entertain
the
Ladies
at
Lisle
.
From
serving
one
King
in
France
,
he
had
the
honour
as
it
was
thought
to
kill
another
in
England
,
(
I
mean
James
of
Scotland
)
and
challenge
a
third
in
Paris
.
The
same
thing
raised
him
,
that
advanced
Wolsey
:
for
he
being
sent
to
Maximilian
,
(
after
Treasurer
Napbant
had
brought
him
to
Court
)
dispatched
his
business
so
soon
,
that
the
King
chid
him
for
not
being
gone
,
when
he
was
returned
;
and
withal
asked
him
,
Whether
he
had
seen
the
Post
that
he
had
sent
after
him
about
a
circumstance
that
had
escaped
him
?
He
answered
,
He
met
him
in
his
return
;
but
he
had
presumed
to
adde
that
particular
of
his
his
own
head
,
for
which
he
asked
his
Majesties
pardon
,
and
had
his
favour
too
for
the
Deanery
of
Lincoln
,
and
the
Almonership
.
Sir
John
was
commanded
with
1500
men
to
cut
off
the
Convoy
to
Terwyn
:
which
he
performed
with
that
speed
and
success
,
that
when
the
King
saw
him
,
he
said
,
I
,
I
,
Sir
John
,
while
we
are
fooling
,
the
Town
is
relieved
.
So
it
is
indeed
,
(
said
he
)
for
I
have
sent
them
2000
Carcases
,
and
they
have
spared
me
1200
Wagons
of
Provision
.
I
but
,
said
the
King
,
I
sent
after
you
to
cut
off
the
Bridge
Dreban
.
That
,
replyed
the
Knight
,
was
the
first
thing
I
did
:
wherefore
I
am
upon
my
knees
for
your
Majesties
grace
and
pardon
.
Nay
then
,
(
said
the
King
)
by
Lady
,
thou
hast
not
my
pardon
,
but
my
favour
too
.
He
is
the
man
for
a
Princes
service
,
whose
minde
is
present
,
and
prudence
is
ready
to
meet
with
suddain
occasions
,
and
accommodate
unexpected
emergencies
.
The
first
effect
of
that
favour
,
was
his
Nomination
for
one
of
the
sixteen
that
answered
the
French
Challenge
at
the
Lady
Mary's
Marriage
,
at
Paris
,
November
7
,
1513.
which
shewed
his
man-hood
,
and
how
valiant
he
was
.
The
second
was
,
that
he
was
one
of
the
Forty
five
that
were
to
be
about
his
Majesty
at
the
instant
of
his
Interview
with
the
King
of
France
at
Guisnes
;
which
was
an
Argument
of
his
presence
,
and
how
goodly
a
man
he
was
.
The
third
was
,
that
he
was
one
of
the
Twenty
two
that
with
the
Earl
of
Surrey
Lord
Admiral
,
and
Sir
William
Fitz-Williams
Vice-Admiral
,
proposed
that
secret
,
and
therefore
successful
Designe
upon
Britain
,
under
pretence
of
Scowring
the
Narrow
Seas
,
(
for
now
he
is
as
good
in
the
Sea
as
he
had
been
in
the
Field
)
for
which
he
and
eight
more
of
his
fellow-Captains
,
Sir
Joh.
Cornwallis
,
&c.
are
Knighted
by
the
aforesaid
Lord
Admiral
:
which
speaks
him
a
Sea-man
,
and
indeed
one
of
a
general
capacity
.
The
fourth
was
,
the
great
Trust
his
Majesty
reposed
in
him
,
when
he
was
sent
in
disguise
to
widen
the
difference
that
was
newly
broken
out
between
the
Duke
of
Bourbon
,
the
High
Constable
of
France
,
and
the
French
King
;
which
he
managed
so
well
,
that
the
discontented
Duke
declares
for
the
Emperour
and
the
King
of
England
;
to
the
great
encouragement
of
the
English
,
the
satisfaction
of
his
Majesty
,
and
the
success
of
his
Designe
upon
Anchor
,
Boungard
,
Bray
,
and
other
places
,
where
Sir
John
shewed
himself
as
active
now
,
as
he
was
before
cunning
;
as
much
surpassing
the
French
Spirit
in
action
,
as
he
had
over-reached
their
Prudence
in
Negotiation
.
But
in
vain
was
it
to
serve
that
King
,
unless
a
man
obliged
the
Cardinal
,
(
he
that
courts
the
Virgin
Mary
,
must
not
neglect
her
little
Saints
)
him
he
attended
in
his
second
Journey
to
France
,
first
to
honour
,
and
then
to
serve
him
.
And
now
after
his
decease
,
when
King
Henry
had
done
the
work
of
mercy
(
which
was
most
proper
for
himself
,
as
being
most
popular
)
upon
the
Lincolnshire
Rebels
,
he
deputed
the
Duke
of
Suffolk
,
Sir
Francis
Bri●ns
and
Sir
John
Russel
to
perform
that
of
Justice
,
which
is
most
distastful
:
wherein
yet
he
behaves
himself
with
that
exactness
,
that
the
Country
was
very
well
pleased
,
and
the
King
as
well
satisfied
;
insomuch
that
we
finde
our
Knight
now
called
from
a
Commander
in
the
Field
,
to
be
Controller
at
Court
:
where
he
managed
his
Masters
Expences
thriftily
,
reduced
his
Family
discreetly
,
reformed
his
followers
effectually
,
and
filled
up
his
place
with
the
awe
of
his
presence
,
and
the
influence
of
his
Authority
,
that
he
was
at
once
its
support
and
its
glory
.
Indeed
Courts
being
those
Epitomes
wherethrough
strangers
look
into
Kingdomes
,
should
be
Royally
set
off
as
with
Utensils
,
so
with
attendance
,
that
might
possess
all
Comers
with
reverence
there
,
and
fear
elsewhere
.
His
Person
graced
his
Imployment
,
and
therefore
his
Majesty
honoured
his
Person
with
the
Order
of
the
Garter
,
and
the
Title
of
Lord
Russel
;
and
that
his
Preferment
might
keep
pace
with
his
Honour
,
he
is
made
Lord
Privy
Seal
,
and
his
Nephew
Sir
John
Gage
Controller
.
His
Honour
slacked
not
his
Activity
,
but
improved
it
;
neither
was
his
Vertue
onely
violent
in
Ambition
,
and
dull
in
Authority
.
Power
to
do
good
,
is
the
true
and
lawful
end
of
aspiring
:
therefore
my
Lord
to
his
Staff
,
added
his
Sword
;
and
to
his
Court-honour
,
his
Field-service
,
as
Lieutenant-General
before
Muttrel
,
and
Marshal
before
Bu●oign
;
to
the
relief
of
the
first
whereof
,
he
drew
Mounsieur
[
](A48796-e48990-b)*
*
Governor
of
Bi●●
.
Bies
,
that
his
Majejesty
might
take
the
second
.
In
the
Camp
he
drew
up
the
Designes
,
in
the
Field
he
managed
the
Treasure
,
and
in
Action
to
him
was
intrusted
the
Conduct
and
manage
.
In
the
Kings
last
Will
and
Testament
he
was
the
fifth
person
,
and
in
his
Sons
Council
the
fifth
;
to
whom
he
discovered
a
French
Plot
the
first
year
of
his
Raign
,
and
for
whom
he
broke
the
Devonshire
Rebels
,
what
with
delays
,
what
with
stratagems
,
to
divide
them
according
to
their
several
Inclinations
,
the
second
,
for
which
service
he
was
made
Earl
of
Bedford
:
The
third
,
in
the
Faction
at
home
between
the
Seymours
and
the
Dudleys
,
he
was
Neuter
:
in
the
Treaties
abroad
between
the
French
King
and
his
Majesty
of
England
,
he
was
Principal
;
where
he
observed
three
Rules
:
1.
That
there
should
be
a
general
Muster
at
home
,
while
this
Treaty
went
on
abroad
.
2.
That
there
should
be
a
blow
given
the
Scots
before
there
was
a
Peace
made
with
the
French
.
3.
That
we
should
first
know
the
French
Overtures
before
we
made
our
own
.
But
while
he
was
here
,
he
discovered
a
Plot
that
the
Emperour
had
to
transport
the
Lady
Mary
over
to
his
Dominions
,
and
thereby
bring
her
Brother
to
his
terms
:
whereupon
he
with
200
men
watcheth
one
Port
,
the
Duke
of
Somerset
with
200
more
a
second
,
and
Master
St.
Leiger
with
400
men
a
third
,
while
the
Lady
was
fetched
by
my
Lord
Chancellor
to
the
King
.
But
while
he
was
serving
his
Master
the
King
abroad
,
his
Friend
the
Protector
wanted
his
advice
and
assistance
at
home
〈…〉
he
being
of
purpose
sent
out
of
the
way
,
while
tha●
unfortunate
Duke
is
first
betrayed
by
his
own
folly
,
and
then
ruined
by
his
Enemies
Power
.
I
finde
his
hand
among
the
rest
of
the
Counsellors
in
a
Letter
to
Queen
Mary
,
but
not
in
Arms
against
her
▪
He
was
concluded
by
the
major
Vote
to
a
Commission
for
Peace
,
but
not
to
Action
for
conscience
sake
.
Faithful
he
is
therefore
to
her
in
Council
,
and
serviceable
in
Spain
and
France
;
from
the
first
of
which
places
he
brought
her
a
Husband
,
and
from
the
second
a
Treasure
.
He
understood
her
Right
,
and
disputed
not
her
Religion
;
regarding
not
so
much
her
Opinion
,
as
his
own
Duty
;
not
what
she
was
,
but
what
he
should
be
.
And
thus
he
behaved
himself
,
until
his
dear
Mistress
Elizabeth
took
him
for
one
of
her
Protestant
Counsellours
to
balance
her
Popish
ones
:
and
not
onely
of
her
Council
,
but
of
her
Cabinet
:
(
for
as
every
man
must
have
his
Friend
to
ease
his
heart
,
so
Princes
have
their
Favourites
to
partake
of
their
cares
)
and
the
Marquess
of
Northampton
,
the
Earl
of
Bedford
,
and
Sir
William
Cecil
,
were
the
onely
Persons
to
whom
the
Queen
communicated
her
designe
of
Reformation
,
and
correcting
the
Common-prayer
;
and
they
ordered
affairs
so
,
that
the
Protestants
should
be
in
hope
,
and
yet
the
Papists
should
not
be
out
of
hope
.
King
Philip
had
a
quarrel
with
the
Queen
for
rejecting
his
suit
,
the
King
of
Sweden
for
slighting
his
Son
,
the
King
of
France
in
his
Wives
Right
,
the
Queen
of
Scots
in
her
Own
,
and
the
Pope
for
excluding
his
Supremacie
;
her
Subjects
were
as
unsettled
in
their
Loyalty
as
in
their
Religion
:
What
remained
?
but
that
my
Lord
of
Bedford
and
Sir
William
Cecil
should
make
up
a
well-tempered
House
of
Commons
by
their
Interest
,
who
should
carry
along
an
indifferent
House
of
Lords
by
their
Resolution
?
When
he
had
served
the
Queen
in
Parliament
for
the
settlement
of
her
Kingdom
at
home
,
he
served
the
Kingdom
in
an
Embassie
to
Scotland
,
to
set
up
its
correspondence
abroad
.
The
Earl
of
Leicester
aimed
at
the
Queen
of
England
,
and
the
Earl
of
Bedford
,
to
divert
him
and
secure
Scotland
,
design'd
him
for
the
Queen
of
Scots
;
whom
he
watched
for
two
things
:
1.
That
she
should
either
match
with
an
English
Subject
,
or
2.
With
a
soft
and
weak
Forreigner
;
that
either
the
Scots
might
be
in
league
with
us
,
or
have
no
peace
at
home
.
His
last
service
I
finde
is
a
complement
,
when
he
was
sent
by
the
Queen
as
her
Deputy
,
with
a
font
of
massie
Gold
worth
1043
l.
to
hold
King
James
at
his
Baptism
;
with
express
command
not
to
acknowledge
my
Lord
Darley
as
King
.
This
his
service
was
as
lasting
as
his
life
,
which
ended
in
old
Age
and
Renown
.
He
conveyed
his
Vertue
and
Honour
to
the
Excellent
Francis
,
as
he
did
to
the
Right
Honourable
William
Earl
of
Bedford
,
now
living
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Stephen
Gardiner
,
Bishop
of
Winchester
.
THe
tuition
of
the
Earl
of
Dorset's
Children
raised
Wolsey
;
travelling
with
the
Duke
of
Norfolk's
,
raised
Gardiner
:
Fox
his
service
in
the
quality
of
Secretary
,
made
the
first
;
and
his
in
the
same
quality
,
made
Gardiner
.
There
are
three
kindes
of
Understanding
:
The
one
,
that
is
advised
by
its
self
;
the
second
,
that
understandeth
when
it
is
informed
by
another
;
the
third
,
that
neither
is
advised
by
its
self
,
nor
by
the
assistance
of
another
.
If
this
Doctor
failed
in
the
first
,
and
his
own
invention
,
he
exceeded
in
the
second
,
of
making
use
of
others
;
for
he
was
one
of
them
that
never
heard
or
read
what
was
not
his
own
.
His
Profession
was
the
Civil
Law
,
that
guideth
forreign
Negotiations
:
His
Inclination
was
that
general
Policy
that
manageth
them
.
His
Eminencies
were
three
:
1.
His
Reservedness
:
Whereby
he
never
did
what
he
aimed
at
,
never
aimed
at
what
he
intended
,
never
intended
what
he
said
,
and
never
said
what
he
thought
;
whereby
he
carried
it
so
,
that
others
should
do
his
business
,
when
they
opposed
it
;
and
he
should
undermine
theirs
,
when
he
seemed
to
promote
it
.
A
man
that
was
to
be
traced
like
the
Fox
,
and
read
like
Hebrew
,
backward
:
If
you
would
know
what
he
did
,
you
must
observe
what
he
did
not
.
2.
His
Boldness
.
Authority
sometimes
meets
with
those
impediments
,
which
neither
power
can
overcome
,
nor
good
fortune
divert
,
if
Courage
and
Fortitude
break
not
through
and
surmount
them
;
and
the
motions
of
the
irascible
faculties
,
such
as
Hope
,
Boldness
and
Choler
,
being
well
ordered
,
and
conducted
by
Reason
,
engage
those
difficulties
she
encountereth
in
the
execution
of
her
designs
:
Reason
discovered
him
his
enterprizes
,
his
Will
enclined
him
to
them
,
and
the
noble
transports
of
his
regular
passions
set
out
both
with
that
ardour
and
vehemencie
,
as
bear
down
obstacles
,
and
compass
the
design
:
A
hope
he
had
,
that
never
rashly
engaged
him
in
desperate
undertakings
;
an
audacity
that
precipitated
him
not
weakly
into
impossibilities
;
and
a
choler
that
led
him
not
blindly
to
inevitable
ruines
:
Consideration
managing
the
first
,
Discretion
and
Foresight
the
second
,
and
Reason
the
third
.
What
doth
it
avail
a
man
to
be
wise
,
in
knowing
what
is
fit
to
be
done
;
prudent
,
to
invent
means
;
just
,
to
appropriate
affairs
to
publick
good
;
authorized
and
happy
,
to
cause
them
to
succeed
;
if
a
Courage
,
guided
by
Reason
,
accompanied
with
Prudence
,
ruled
by
Discretion
,
animated
by
a
generous
Boldness
,
be
not
diligent
,
quick
and
prompt
for
Execution
?
His
Nature
was
generous
and
constant
:
His
Education
(
like
that
of
the
Roman
Youth
among
Statesmen
)
manifold
and
solid
:
His
Soul
was
free
,
and
dis-engaged
from
any
particular
Design
.
3.
Eloquence
:
That
added
to
his
Parts
what
colours
do
to
a
Picture
;
state
,
grace
and
light
:
Reason
is
the
Ornament
of
a
Man
,
Speech
the
Interpreter
of
Reason
,
and
Elequence
the
grace
of
Speech
;
wherein
the
Orator
excelleth
other
men
,
as
much
as
they
do
other
creatures
.
His
Wisdom
advised
his
Prudence
contrived
,
his
Courage
resolved
,
and
his
Eloquence
perswaded
;
adding
at
once
gracefulness
to
his
Designs
,
and
vigour
to
his
Enterprizes
;
as
that
wherewith
he
could
satisfie
mens
Reasons
,
and
master
their
Passions
,
by
which
he
carried
them
whither
he
pleased
:
His
lively
Expression
animates
his
Reason
,
his
Eloquence
his
Expression
,
and
his
Gesture
his
Eloquence
;
whereby
he
charmed
the
Senses
,
mollified
Hearts
,
incited
Affections
,
framed
Desires
,
checked
Hopes
,
and
exercised
a
sacred
Empire
over
every
man
he
dealt
with
.
These
qualities
improved
with
Travel
,
raised
the
Doctor
to
be
the
Chancellour's
Secretary
,
and
the

chief
Scribe
at
home
,
a
sly
Agent
in
Italy
,
a
successful
Orator
in
Germany
,
and
Leiger
Embassador
in
France
.
In
Italy
,
he
with
Doctor
Fox
(
having
the
King
of
France
his
Agent
to
second
them
)
gained
the
Popes
Commission
for
hearing
of
the
Cause
between
King
Henry
the
VIII
,
and
Queen
Katharine
.
In
Germany
he
undermined
the
French
King
,
and
in
France
the
Emperour
.
Upon
the
poor
Pope
(
whom
he
found
not
worth
20
l.
)
perplexed
between
the
King
of
England
,
who
had
set
him
at
liberty
,
and
the
King
of
Spain
,
who
had
maintained
him
,
he
wrought
so
far
,
as
to
gain
a
dubious
Letter
in
Cypher
to
the
King
,
and
a
clear
promise
to
the
Cardinal
,
both
about
the
suppression
of
some
Monasteries
,
and
the
Divorce
;
which
the
crafty
Agent
extorted
from
the
fearful
man
,
with
his
Necesse
est
,
&c.
although
all
this
while
he
palliated
this
his
main
business
,
with
some
impertinent
overtures
about
King
Henry
the
seventh's
Canonization
:
None
better
understanding
the
just
degrees
,
seasons
and
methods
of
Affairs
,
then
this
Doctor
:
Where
he
spoke
one
word
for
his
Majesties
Divorce
,
he
spoke
two
for
the
Cardinals
Advancement
,
having
the
French
Kings
Letter
with
him
to
that
effect
,
in
omnem
eventum
:
In
order
whereunto
he
threatned
the
Pope
from
Germany
,
and
Germany
from
Rome
;
so
that
their
mutual
jealousies
forced
them
to
a
compliance
with
his
Royal
and
Sacred
Master
.
A
great
Agent
he
was
in
this
business
while
Wol●ey's
Secretary
,
a
greater
when
the
Kings
;
in
which
capacity
he
writ
,
they
say
,
one
Book
for
the
Pope's
Supremacie
in
his
Masters
Name
,
and
another
for
the
Kings
in
his
own
.
He
draweth

against

Record
in
Sir
Rob.
Cotton's
Library
.
the
Pope
,
and
the
Pope's
against
the
Kingdom
:
He
and
Doctor
Fox
are
employed
to
gain
the
Vote
of
Cambridge
for
the
Divorce
;
where
he
brought
it
from
the
Negative
to
even
Voices
,
and
from
even
Voices
to
a
Disputation
,
and
upon
that
,
to
a
Determination
on
the
Kings
side
:
for
which
we
find
him
now
Bishop
of
Winchester
,
Archbishop
Cranmer's
Assistant
at
pronouncing
the
Divorce
at
the
Priory
of
Dunstable
,
and
one
of
the
two
Embassadors
at
the
Interview
between
King
Francis
and
King
Henry
.
As
he
had
declared
himself
by
writing
,
so
he
drew
up
a
Form
whereby
others
might
declare
themselves
by
oath
for
the
Kings
Supremacy
:
And
as
he
owneth
the
Kings
Authority
,
so
he
maintaineth
it
in
his
Apology
for
Fisher's
Death
.
But
because
no
power
is
lasting
,
when
Religion
is
not
v●nerable
,
the
wary
Bishop
promotes
the
Statutes
of
six
Articles
in
the
House
of
Commons
,
in
spight
of
Cromwel
and
Cranmer
;
and

of

words
in
the
translation
,
in
the
Convocation
;
Words
,
for
their
genuine
and
native
meaning
,
and
for
the
Majesty
of
the
matter
in
them
contained
,
not
to
be
Englished
:
Though
he
could
not
keep
the
word
from
shining
,
yet
had
he
wit
enough
to
keep
it
in
a
dark
Lanthorn
,
to
keep
the
Laity
at
their
distance
,
and
bear
up
the
Will-worship
of
Rome
.
Had
he
kept
here
,
King
Henry
had
been
satisfied
;
but
when
his
success
improved
his
boldness
,
and
that
precipitated
his
undertakings
,
he
must
be
quarreling
with
the
Protestant
Queens
,
and
so
fall
out
with
the
Uxorious
King
,
under
whose
displeasure
he
continued
while
he
lived
,
as
he
did
under
his
sons
afterwards
:
(
First
,
for
refusing
a
confession
of
his
fault
,
and
then
for
not
subscribing
some
Articles
proposed
unto
him
,
though
he
owned
the
Supremacy
,
the
Reformation
,
and
said
of
the
Common-Prayer
,
That
though
he
would
not
have
made
it
so
himself
,
yet
be
found
in
it
such
things
as
satisfied
his
conscience
;
and
therefore
be
would
both
execute
it
himself
,
and
cause
others
of
his
[
](A48796-e50100-b)*
*
Viz.
Those
of
his
Diocess
.
Parishioners
to
do
it
:
and
if
be
were
troubled
in
conscience
,
he
would
reveal
it
to
the
Council
,
and
not
reason
openly
against
it
:
)
so
that
he
lost
his
Liberty
and
his
Bishoprick
,
until
he
was
restored
to
both
by
Queen
Mary
,
(
who
kissed
and
called
him
her
Prisoner
in
the
Tower
)
and
likewise
advanced
him
to
the
Chancellourship
;
wherein
he
did
more
harm
by
others
then
himself
;
keeping
alwayes
behinde
the
Curtain
,
and
acting
in
Oxford
by
Visitors
,
in
London
bv
Bonner
,
and
in
his
own
Diocess
by
Suffragans
:
Onely
in
two
Particulars
he
declared
himself
:
-
1.
Against
the
Princess
Elizabeth
:
saying
,
In
vain
it
is
to
lop
the
Branches
,
while
the
Root
remains
.
-
2.
Against
the
Exiles
:
Threatning
that
he
would
watch
their
supplies
,
so
that
they
should
eat
their
nails
,
and
then
feed
on
their
fingers
ends
.
But
threatned
Folks
live
long
;
and
before
the
Confessors
were
brought
to
that
Bill
of
fare
,
the
Bishop
was
eaten
of
worms
himself
,
dying
suddenly
and
strangely
;
wholly
a
Protestant
in
the
point
of
merit
,
who
had
been
in
other
things
so
zealous
a
Papist
.
One
piece
at
once
of
his
Prudence
and
Resolution
,
and
I
have
done
:
The
Lord
Protector
by
Letters
sollicited
Gardiner
to
resign
Trinity-Hall
to
the
Kings
hand
,
who
designed
one
Colledge
out
of
that
and
Clare-Hall
:
Most
politick
Gardiner
(
saith
my
Author
)
not
without
cause
suspecting
some
design
or
casualty
might
surprize
the
Interval
between
the
dissolution
of
the
old
,
and
the
erection
of
this
new
Foundation
,
civilly
declined
the
motion
,
informing
his
Grace
,
That
the
way
to
advance
the
study
of
the
Law
,
was
by
promoting
the
present
Professors
of
that
Faculty
,
(
now
so
generally
discouraged
)
and
not
by
founding
a
new
Colledge
for
the
future
Students
thereof
;
seeing
Trinity-Hall
alone
could
breed
more
Civilians
then
all
England
did
prefer
according
to
their
deserts
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
William
Herbert
.
HIs
Family
had
not
endeared
its
self
to
the
antient
Kings
by
its
service
,
nor
his
Grand-father
himself
to
King
Henry
the
Seventh
by
his
Relation
,
more
then
He
did
Himself
to
King
Henry
the
Eighth
by
his
Merit
.
He
was
a
great
Pattern
of
antient
Vertue
,
that
in
the
greatest
Fortune
enjoyed
the
least
Liberty
:
Vigilant
and
careful
:
One
whose
Power
was
attended
with
Sollicitude
,
(
there
was
an
Eye
in
the
ancient
Scepters
)
and
his
Sollicitude
with
Temperance
;
(
he
that
commands
himself
,
commands
the
World
too
.
)
While
some
mens
imprudent
integrity
can
do
no
harm
,
and
others
base
cunning
can
do
no
good
;
Sir
William's
Prudence
and
Integrity
was
equally
able
for
both
,
as
there
was
occasion
.
Very
close
and
successful
were
his
and
my
Lord
Sheffield's
Negotiations
abroad
:
Very
resolute
and
manly
his
Conduct
at
home
.
He
was
one
of
the
twenty
four
Counsellours
to
Henry
the
Eighth
while
he
lived
,
and
one
of
the
sixteen
Executors
of
his
Will
when
he
died
.
All
great
Undertakers
must
avoid
softness
and
effeminacie
,
the
bane
of
great
Natures
and
Actions
:
For
where
there
is
love
and
pleasure
,
there
is
fear
;
and
where
there
is
fear
,
there
is
that
which
enchains
Generosity
and
confines
Courage
.
He
had
his
double
Diary
;
the
first
for
Actions
,
the
second
for
Observations
upon
them
:
And
indeed
his
and
Sir
William
Kingston's
Manuscripts
give
a
great
light
to
the
History
of
those
times
:
In
which
Diary
we
finde
what
actions
he
did
against
the
Scots
by
constant
alarms
with
three
thousand
Welch
,
and
what
against
Ket's
Rebels
by
notable
stratagems
with
two
thousand
.
The
man
is
compleat
that
hath
a
Head
and
a
Heart
.
As
to
the
Faction
in
King
Edward's
time
,
he
would
not
concern
himself
,
looking
on
accusations
in
a
Commonwealth
as
great
advantages
to
check
ambition
,
and
vent
discontent
;
that
the
one
may
not
aspire
too
dangerously
,
nor
the
other
break
out
too
irregularly
.
And
as
little
concern'd
was
he
in
King
Edward's
Will
;
his
business
being
rather
obeying
the
Soveraign
that
was
,
then
determining
who
should
be
.
He
was
a
throughly
advised
man
:
one
that
gazed
not
on
the
issues
,
but
enquired
into
the
reasons
and
springs
of
Actions
.
Very
useful
he
was
in
Queen
Mary's
Council
,
and
no
less
in
King
philip's
War
;
where
he
got
St.
Quintin
for
him
,
and
a
lasting
Renown
for
himself
:
who
died
in
Queen
Elizabeth's
time
,
and
left
this
plain
Character
behinde
,
That
he
was
a
noble
Gentleman
,
of
a
trusty
,
a
free
and
an
open
Nature
.
Observations
on
the
Lives
of
Sir
Tho.
Mannors
,
and
Sir
Ralph
Euers
.
IJoyn
them
both
in
my
Observations
,
because
they
agreed
both
in
their
dispositions
:
1.
Both
Nobly
Religious
,
and
so
blessed
themselves
,
and
being
a
blessing
unto
others
:
Their
Religion
was
attended
with
Magnanimity
,
Constancy
,
Wisdom
,
Prudence
,
Valour
and
Counsel
,
as
the
Products
of
it
;
and
with
Success
as
the
Issue
.
2.
Both
famous
and
renowned
;
having
Honour
,
as
the
shadow
doth
the
Sun
,
going
before
them
in
their
younger
years
,
to
make
their
way
to
action
;
keeping
even
with
them
in
their
middle
age
,
to
countenance
and
credit
their
proceedings
;
and
following
them
in
old
Age
to
eternize
and
embalm
them
:
Both
making
their
way
to
Honour
as
Agesilaus
in
Plutarch
,
or
Epictetus
in
Strabo
,
by
saying
what
was
well
,
and
doing
what
was
better
;
or
with
Socrates
,
by
being
what
they
appeared
,
and
appearing
no
more
then
they
were
:
(
Vertue
,
though
obscure
,
may
satisfie
me
;
it
must
be
renowned
,
or
it
cannot
serve
others
:
)
But
action
is
the
life
of
things
,
and
good
dispositions
are
rather
a
mans
Inclinations
than
his
Vertue
.
Both
therefore
were
in
their
Courage
regular
,
in
their
Conduct
observant
,
in
their
Addresses
obliging
,
in
their
Passions
even
,
in
their
Enjoyments
severe
,
and
in
their
Services
equal
.
Sir
Thomas
Mannors
first
weakened

*
In
King
H.
8's
time
,
when
they
rise
against
the
Resormation
.
Northern
Rebels
,
by
such
discreet
Propositions
as
met
with
many
of
their
Humours
and
Interests
,
and
then
resolved
to
engage
them
,
but
that
the
little
Brook
Dun
swelled
miraculously
to
a
River
,
between
both
Armies
:
And
at
the
same
time
Sir
Ralph
Euers
held
Scarborough-Castle
,
where
he
had
no
Souldiers
but
his
own
Servants
,
nor
any
sustenance
for
twenty
days
,
but
bread
and
water
.
For
this
service
he
is
made
Lord
Warden
of
the
Marches
,
as
Sir
Thomas
is
Lord
Governour
of
the
North.
Both
did
his
Majesty
as
much
service
in
Peace
for
his
Revenue
,
as
in
War
for
his
Security
:
Both
against
the
Cardinal's
way
of
raising
Money
,
which
was
but
the
relieving
of
a
present
need
by
laying
the
foundation
of
a
lasting
inconvenience
;
being
very
careful
that
their
Master
did
not
lose
in
the
president
what
he
gained
in
the
money
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
John
Baker
.
THere
is
one
of
this
Name
remarqueable
in
every
Kings
Reign
since
the
Conquest
;
here
is
one
now
renowned
in
this
:
1.
For
Integrity
,
to
be
neither
awed
nor
corrupted
:
2.
For
a
Spirit
publick
as
Nature
,
neither
moved
with
particular
respects
,
nor
terminated
in
a
private
Design
.
The
French
were
so
insolent
in
London
the
eighth
year
of
Henry
the
Eighth
,
that
when
one
Williamson
a
Carpenter
was
about
to
pay
for
two
Pigeons
he
bought
,
a
Frenchman
takes
them
out
of
his
hand
,
saying
,
They
were
no
meat
for
Carpenters
,
but
for
my
Lord
Embassadour
;
who
concerned
himself
so
much
in
the
case
,
that
he
had
Williamson
imprisoned
:
Sir
John
sued
to
the
Embassador
for
the
man
,
who
answered
,
That
the
English
Knave
deserved
to
be
banged
for
denying
any
thing
to
a
Frenchman
.
Whereupon
Sir
John
replied
,
You
know
not
that
you
are
in
London
:
A
notable
reply
,
considering
that
the
City
was
up
next
day
against
Strangers
,
in
so
desperate
a
tumult
,
that
none
could
suppress
but
Sir
Thomas
More
,
and
none
settle
but
Sir
William
Kingston
and
Sir
John
Baker
.
No
sooner
had
he
allayed
the
disorder
at
home
,
but
he
with
the
Bishop
of
St
Asaph
,
are
sent
to
appease
a
Rebellion
abroad
,
I
mean
in
Denmark
,
though
in
vain
;
when
the
Kings
cruelty
exceeded
their
apology
,
and
ruine
was
more
elegible
with
that
people
,
then
duty
or
obedience
:
Where
he
observed
these
six
Maximes
,
in
order
to
a
newly-conquer'd-Kingdom
:
-
1.
That
the
Royal
Line
should
be
extinguished
.
-
2.
That
the
old
Customs
in
Laws
and
Taxes
should
be
observed
.
-
3.
The
Prince
must
be
there
to
observe
their
humours
in
person
.
-
4.
That
the
Officers
be
moderate
and
honest
.
-
5.
That
there
be
Colonies
planted
in
one
or
two
places
that
are
the
Keys
of
the
State
.
-
6.
That
the
Neighbours
should
be
weakened
and
divided
,
and
the
In-land
Forts
demolished
.
As
he
would
have
composed
the
troubles
of
forreign
Princes
,
so
he
served
the
necessities
of
his
own
,
being
the
most
successful
Commissioner
for
the
Benevolence
in
the
Countrey
;
and
the
most
active
Agent
for
the
loan
in
London
:
Wherefore
I
finde
him
Chancellour
of
the
Exchequer
,
An.
1545
,
and
one
of
the
assistants
to
the
Trustees
for
King
Edward
,
1547.
Judge
Mountague
was
the
onely
person
that
durst
dispute
King
Edward's
Will
:
Judge
Hales
and
Sir
John
Baker
were
the
onely
Counsellours
that
durst
refuse
it
;
the
first
whereof
stood
to
the
Law
,
against
Power
;
the
second
,
to
his
Allegiance
against
Interest
;
and
both
to
the
Rights
of
the
Crown
which
are
lasting
,
rather
then
the
Designes
of
some
Favourites
that
are
as
momentary
as
their
Greatness
,
and
as
uncertain
as
their
Grandeur
.
This
constant
and
firm
resolution
to
stick
to
his
Duty
and
Loyalty
,
brought
him
to
his
Grave
in
peace
and
honour
;
having
been
a
faithful
Counselfour
and
Servant
to
King
Henry
the
eighth
,
King
Edward
the
sixth
,
Queen
Mary
and
Queen
Elizabeth
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
William
Kingston
.
HE
was
one
of
the
greatest
Courtiers
at
Masks
and
Revels
,
one
of
the
best
Captains
at
Sea
,
and
one
of
the
most
valiant
and
skilful
Commanders
by
Land
.
None
more
pleasing
to
the
English
Ladies
,
none
more
terrible
to
the
French
King
.
Cunningly
did
he
discover
the
King
of
Spains
Designe
upon
Navarre
to
his
Majesty
,
by
pretending
a
Revolt
to
that
King
of
Spain
;
and
as
cunningly
did
he
draw
the
French
Troops
into
a
snare
,
by
counterfeiting
a
retreat
towards
Britany
.
His
Advice
had
saved
the
Admiral
at
Breast
,
and
his
Foresight
did
rescue
Sir
Edward
Belknap
near
Guisnes
.
He
was
Knighted
for
his
Service
at
Tournay
,
and
made
Marshal
for
his
Success
at
Flodden
.
He
was
one
of
them
that
perswaded
the
City
to
its
duty
at
[
](A48796-e51420-b)*
*
When
the
rising
was
there
.
Shoreditch
;
and
if
that
would
not
do
,
he
was
to
command
it
from
the
Tower
;
being
Commissioner
in
the
first
place
,
Aug.
2.
and
Lieutenant
of
the
second
,
September
6.
(
The
Multitude
is
rather
to
be
awed
then
reasoned
with
.
Some
Princes
have
disarmed
their
Subjects
,
others
have
divided
them
,
a
third
sort
have
obliged
them
;
others
yet
have
kept
up
Plots
amongst
them
:
but
all
have
built
and
commanded
Fortresses
to
secure
themselves
.
)
It
were
well
if
Love
did
,
it
's
necessary
that
Fear
should
guide
this
World
.
The
King
condescended
one
day
to
Just
with
him
;
and
he
,
though
invincible
,
to
fall
by
his
Majesty
.
(
You
must
let
a
Prince
be
a
Prince
in
every
thing
.
)
So
complaisant
he
was
,
that
he
was
one
of
the
six
Maskers
at
Court
at
50
;
and
yet
so
grave
,
that
when
divers
young
men
that
were
familiar
with
the
King
after
the
French
mode
were
banished
,
he
kept
his
Station
,
as
one
of
the
stayed
men
,
at
30.
He
was
one
of
the
16
that
attended
the
King
in
his
first
Interview
with
the
Emperour
;
and
one
of
the
40
that
waited
on
him
in
the
two
last
with
the
King
of
France
;
narrowly
escaping
at
the
last
that
poyson
as
some
thought
,
or
ill
vapours
,
as
others
conclude
,
whereof
the
open-hearted
Lord
Brooks
,
the
valiant
Sir
Edward
Poynings
,
reserved
Sir
John
Pechy
,
and
active
Sir
Edward
Belknap
,
died
:
whereupon
with
his
advice
,
all
French-men
were
put
to
their
Fines
,
and
all
Scotch
to
their
ransome
.
Neither
was
he
onely
for
shew
,
but
service
too
,
leading
the
Right
Wing
of
the
Army
at
Guisnes
,
when
Sir
Everard
Digby
commanded
the
Left
,
the
Lord
Sands
the
Vanguard
,
Sir
Edward
Guilford
then
Marshal
of
Callis
the
Horse
,
Sir
Richard
Wink
field
the
Rear
,
and
the
Duke
of
Suffolk
the
main
Battle
.
Where
his
Assaults
on
Cappe
and
Roy
spake
him
a
Souldier
,
as
his
underhand
correspondence
with
the
Lord
Isilstein
argued
him
a
States-man
.
Sir
Thomas
Mannors
the
first
Earl
of
Rutland
of
that
Name
discovered
,
and
Sir
William
Kingston
told
his
Majesty
the
Cardinals
Plots
against
the
Kings
Marriage
with
Queen
Anne
,
and
his
Designe
to
marry
him
to
the
Dutchess
of
Alanzon
:
A
Designe
,
that
because
it
seemed
to
over-reach
his
Majesty
in
cunning
,
and
really
did
cross
his
Inclination
in
malice
,
that
incensed
his
Majesty
to
a
passion
which
could
be
appeased
with
no
less
a
sacrifice
then
the
Cardinals
fall
:
in
order
to
which
,
the
next
service
of
this
Knight
,
is
as
Lieutenant
of
the
Tower
to
take
him
to
custody
:
which
he
did
at
Leicester
with
a
Noble
resolution
,
considering
that
mans
greatness
,
with
a
due
reverence
regarding
his
calling
,
and
with
a
tender
compassion
respecting
his
condition
;
perswading
him
gently
of
the
Kings
Favour
,
at
that
very
time
when
he
was
come
to
be
an
Instrument
of
his
Justice
.
And
what
he
did
to
a
Cardinal
now
,
he
did
to
Queens
afterwards
:
never
Prince
commanding
higher
services
then
King
Henry
,
nor
subjects
discharging
them
more
undauntedly
then
Sir
William
:
because
therefore
he
was
so
severe
a
Lieutenant
in
the
Tower
,
he
is
made
a
Provost-Marshal
in
the
Field
;
in
which
capacity
,
after
the
Devonshire-Rebels
defeat
,
we
have
these
two
remarkable
stories
of
him
.
1.
One
Bowyer
Mayor
of
Bodmin
in
Cornwal
,
had
been
amongst
the
Rebels
,
not
willingly
,
but
enforced
:
to
him
the
Provost
sent
word
he
would
come
and
dine
with
him
;
for
whom
the
Mayor
made
great
Provision
.
A
little
before
Dinner
the
Provost
took
the
Mayor
aside
,
and
whispered
him
in
the
Ear
,
that
an
Execution
must
that
day
be
done
in
the
Town
,
and
therefore
he
must
set
up
two
Gallows
.
The
Mayor
did
so
.
After
Dinner
Sir
William
Kingston
thanks
him
for
his
Entertainment
,
and
then
desires
him
to
bring
him
to
the
Gallows
:
where
when
they
were
come
,
Sir
William
asked
him
,
Whether
they
were
strong
enough
?
I
,
I
'll
warrant
thee
,
saith
the
Mayor
.
Then
,
saith
Sir
William
,
get
you
up
upon
them
.
I
hope
,
saith
the
Mayor
,
you
do
not
mean
as
you
speak
.
Nay
,
Sir
,
saith
he
,
you
must
die
;
for
you
have
been
a
busie
Rebel
.
And
so
without
any
more
ado
hanged
him
.
2.
A
Miller
that
had
been
very
active
in
the
late
Rebellion
,
fled
,
and
left
another
to
take
his
Name
upon
him
.
Sir
William
Kingston
calls
for
the
Miller
,
His
Servant
tells
him
that
he
was
the
Man
.
Then
,
saith
he
,
you
must
be
hanged
.
Oh
Sir
▪
saith
he
,
I
am
not
the
Miller
.
If
you
are
not
the
Miller
,
you
are
a
lying
Kn●ve
:
if
you
are
the
Miller
,
you
are
a
trayterous
one
,
and
however
you
must
die
.
And
so
he
did
.
Punish
the
Multitude
severely
once
,
and
you
oblige
them
ever
:
for
they
love
that
man
onely
for
his
Good
Nature
,
whom
they
fear
for
his
Resolution
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Thomas
Cheyney
.
THree
things
advanced
men
in
King
Henry
the
Eighth's
days
:
1.
Their
Extraction
:
2.
Their
Wit
:
3.
Their
Comeliness
and
Strength
.
For
the
First
,
his
Name
was
up
since
Battle-Abbey-Roll
;
as
to
the
second
,
it
was
enough
that
he
travelled
with
Wolsey
:
and
touching
the
third
,
there
need
be
no
other
instance
then
that
at
Paris
,
where
upon
the
Daulphin's
Proclamation
of
solemn
Justs
,
the
Duke
of
Suffolke
,
the
Marquess
of
Dorset
,
Sir
Edward
Nevil
and
He
,
answered
the
Challenge
;
as
not
long
after
he
encountered
King
Henry
himself
at
Greenwich
,
where
he
had
the
great
Honour
of
a
strong
and
valiant
Knight
,
and
a
greater
of
being
overthrown
by
his
Majesty
.
Having
engaged
his
Majesties
Person
at
home
,
he
had
the
Honour
to
represent
it
abroad
;
where
his
Commission
was
to
complement
the
French
King
about
his
Liberty
,
but
his
Business
to
observe
the
state
of
that
place
:
Where
he
saw
that
a
Kingdom
governed
by
a
Prince
who
hath
under
him
other
independent
Lords
,
as
that
of
France
,
is
no
longer
safe
,
than
those
Lords
are
either
in
Humour
,
or
in
Purse
;
being
always
in
danger
either
from
their
discontent
or
corruption
:
2.
That
Faction
is
always
eager
,
while
Duty
is
modest
and
temperate
.
This
Occasion
ennobled
his
Vertue
,
and
his
Vertue
improved
the
Occasion
so
well
,
that
I
finde
him
so
eminent
a
Parliament-man
the
22th
of
King
Henry
,
that
as
Sir
Brian
Tuke
had
the
Honour
to
open
the
several
Boxes
sent
from
the
respective
Universities
,
with
their
opinions
about
the
Kings
Divorce
;
so
Sir
Thomas
had
the
happiness
in
a
set
Speech
to
insist
upon
them
all
in
general
,
and
every
one
in
particular
.
And
at
Queen
Anne's
Coronation
my
Lord
Vaux
,
Sir
John
Mordant
,
Sir
Thomas
,
and
ten
more
,
are
made
Knights
of
the
Bath
.
Having
acquitted
himself
Nobly
in
Court
and
Council
,
he
attends
the
Earl
of
Hertford
against
the
Scots
,
as
Commissary
;
and
Sir
John
Wallop
with
Sir
John
Rainsford
,
as
Marshal
:
for
his
Services
in
both
which
capacities
,
he
is
made
Lord
Warden
of
the
Cinque
Ports
in
England
;
and
with
the
Comptroller
,
Sir
John
Gage
,
made
Field-Marshal
,
and
Treasurer
of
the
Army
before
Bulloign
:
And
not
long
after
▪
Treasurer
of
the
Houshold
,
and
one
of
the
Assistants
for
the
Over-seeing
of
King
Henry's
Will
.
When
some
were
joyning
Others
with
the
Protector
,
others
for
limiting
him
,
Sir
Thomas
would
say
,
That
(
as
Machiavel
saith
,
No
Laws
,
so
)
No
good
could
be
done
by
a
Governour
that
was
not
absolute
,
without
either
a
Restraint
or
a
Competitor
.
Upon
the
Reformation
he
would
say
,
That
the
disestcem
of
Religious
Ceremonies
argued
the
decay
of
the
Civil
Government
:
good
Princes
have
first
kept
their
People
Religious
,
and
thereby
Vertuous
and
united
:
both
old
and
new
Rome
stand
by
this
.
In
a
word
,
what
makes
all
men
,
made
him
,
A
generous
industry
of
Minde
,
and
a
well-set
hardiness
of
Body
,
which
were
attended
while
he
lived
with
Honour
and
Success
,
and
since
he
is
dead
,
with
Repute
and
Renown
.
Where
eminent
and
well-born
Persons
out
of
a
habit
of
sloath
and
laziness
,
neglect
at
once
the
Noblest
way
of
employing
their
times
,
and
the
fairest
occasions
of
advancing
their
fortunes
;
that
State
,
though
never
so
flourishing
and
glorious
,
wants
something
of
being
compleatly
happy
:
As
soon
as
ever
therefore
the
Kingdom
is
settled
(
sedate
times
are
the
best
to
improve
a
Commonwealth
,
as
his
quiet
hours
are
the
best
to
improve
a
man
)
he
and
Sir
William
Howard
addressed
themselves
as
vigorously
to
the
opening
of
Commerce
and
Traffick
,
for
the
enriching
of
this
Nation
,
as
they
had
before
to
the
exercise
of
Arms
,
to
secure
it
:
Pursuing
the
Designe
with
Resolution
,
and
keeping
the
frame
of
it
in
order
with
Industry
,
their
constant
Spirit
surmounting
all
Difficulties
that
stood
in
the
way
of
their
own
Glory
,
or
their
Countrey
's
Happiness
;
working
so
well
upon
the
Russians
,
that
they
not
onely
obtained
their
Desire
,
but
gained
so
far
upon
the
Affections
of
that
People
,
that
they
obtained
the
greatest
Priviledges
any
Tradesmen
ever
enjoyed
in
Muscovy
;
which
the
Russians
were
not
easier
in
the
promise
of
,
then
just
in
the
execution
of
that
promise
:
So
that
that
Trade
is
advanced
not
onely
beyond
our
hopes
,
but
our
very
pretences
too
,
by
those
three
Particulars
that
never
fail
of
success
:
1.
Union
:
2.
Conduct
:
3.
Courage
in
enterprizes
vigorously
begun
and
watchfully
pursued
:
Until
Queen
ELIZABETH
concerned
her self
so
far
in
the
Undertaking
,
as
to
influence
it
with
a
Character
peculiar
to
the
Dignity
of
such
a
Constitution
:
which
carried
that
Commerce
higher
then
Others
could
raise
their
Imaginations
,
as
we
see
;
whose
profit
by
it
is
as
remarqueable
in
this
Age
,
as
their
zeal
for
it
was
in
the
last
:
When
Fear
and
Distrust
,
those
ignoble
Passions
that
disparage
all
great
Undertakings
,
which
judged
that
Design
a
Piece
of
extravagant
Folly
,
seeth
it
now
an
Act
of
profound
Wisdom
;
especially
when
it
may
be
improved
under
CHARLES
the
Second
and
the
Great
,
a
Prince
who
by
admirable
order
of
his
conduct
,
the
just
administration
of
his
Revenue
,
and
by
his
fatherly
goodness
towards
his
people
,
hath
put
himself
into
a
condition
to
undertake
without
fear
whatsoever
may
be
put
in
execution
with
Honour
or
Justice
.

STATES-MEN
and
FAVOURITES
OF
ENGLAND
,
IN
The
Reign
of
Queen
Elizabeth
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Nicholas
Bacon
.
SIr
Nicholas
Bacon
,
a
man
full
of
wit
and
wisdome
,
was
a
Gentleman
,
and
a
man
of
Law
,
and
of
great
knowledge
therein
;
whereby
,
together
with
his
other
parts
of
Learning
and
Dexterity
,
he
was
prompted
to
be
Keeper
of
the
Great
Seal
;
and
being
kin
to
the
Treasurer
Burleigh
,
was
brought
by
his
help
into
the
Queens
favour
.
This
Gentleman
understood
his
Mistress
well
,
and
the
times
better
:
He
could
raise
Factions
to
serve
the
one
,
and
allay
them
to
suit
the
others
.
He
had
the
deepest
reach
into
Affairs
of
any
man
that
was
at
the
Council-table
:
the
knottiest
Head
to
pierce
into
difficulties
:
the
most
comprehensive
Judgement
to
surround
the
Merit
of
a
Cause
:
the
strongest
memory
to
recollect
all
circumstances
of
a
Business
to
one
View
:
the
greatest
patience
to
debate
and
consider
;
(
for
it
was
he
that
first
said
,
Let
us
stay
a
little
,
and
we
will
have
done
the
sooner
:
)
and
the
clearest
reason
to
urge
any
thing
that
came
in
his
way
in
Court
or
Chancery
.
His
favour
was
eminent
with
his
Mistress
,
and
his
Alliance
strong
with
her
States-men
.
No
man
served
his
Soveraign
more
faithfully
,
none
secured
himself
more
wisely
.
Leicester
seemed
wiser
then
he
was
,
Bacon
was
wiser
then
he
seemed
to
be
;
Hunsdon
neither
was
nor
seemed
wise
.
Much
Learning
my
Lord
Bacon
gained
in
Bennets
Colledge
in
Cambridge
,
more
Experience
in
Paris
of
France
:
His
Dexterity
and
Dispatch
advanced
him
to
the
Court
of
Wards
,
his
deep
Experience
made
him
Lord
Keeper
.
Alliance
was
the
Policy
of
that
time
.
Bacon
and
Cecil
married
two
Sisters
;
Walsingham
and
Mildmay
two
more
:
Knowles
,
Essex
and
Leicester
were
linked
;
the
prudent
Queen
having
all
her
Favourites
Relations
and
Dependencies
in
her
eye
,
and
disposing
of
them
according
to
their
several
Interests
.
Great
was
this
States-mans
Wit
,
greater
the
Fame
of
it
;
which
as
he
would
say
,
being
nothing
,
made
all
things
:
For
Report
,
though
but
Fancy
,
begets
Opinion
;
and
Opinion
begets
Substance
.
He
was
the
exactest
man
to
draw
up
a
Law
in
Council
,
and
the
most
discreet
to
execute
it
in
Court
.
When
others
urged
the
repeal
of
that
Act
whereby
Queen
Elizabeth
was
declared
Illegitimate
,
he
rather
suppressed
it
,
chusing
the
closure
of
a
festered
Wound
more
prudent
then
the
opening
of
it
;
and
judging
it
more
wisdome
to
satisfie
the
world
with
the
old
Law
,
That
the
Crown
takes
away
all
defects
;
then
to
perplex
it
with
new
disputes
,
Whether
Queen
Elizabeth
were
Legitimate
.
State-miscarriages
are
rather
to
be
privately
connived
at
,
then
publickly
redressed
;
the
remedy
it
may
be
doing
no
more
service
then
putting
the
people
in
minde
of
the
mishap
.
He
neither
affected
nor
attained
to
Greatness
:
Mediocria
firma
,
was
his
Principle
and
his
Practice
.
When
Queen
Elizabeth
asked
him
,
Why
his
House
was
so
little
?
he
answered
,
Madam
,
my
House
is
not
too
little
for
me
,
but
you
have
made
me
too
big
for
my
House
.
Give
me
,
said
he
,
a
good
Estate
,
rather
then
a
great
one
.
He
had
a
very
Quaint
saying
,
saith
Robert
Naunton
,
and
he
used
it
often
to
very
good
purpose
,
That
he
loved
the
Jest
well
,
but
not
the
loss
of
his
Friend
.
He
would
say
,
That
though
unusqnisque
suae
fortunae
faber
,
was
a
true
and
good
Principle
;
yet
the
most
in
number
were
those
that
marred
themselves
:
but
I
will
never
forgive
that
man
that
looseth
himself
,
to
be
rid
of
his
Jest
.
The
Excellency
of
his
Parts
was
set
off
with
the
Gravity
of
his
Person
;
and
the
Queen
would
say
,
My
Lord
Bacon'
s
Soul
lodgeth
well
.
His
Account
of
England
and
all
its
Affairs
,
was
punctual
:
his
use
of
learned
Artists
,
was
continual
:
his
correspondence
with
his
fellow-States-men
,
exact
:
his
apprehension
of
our
Laws
and
Government
,
clear
;
his
Model
of
both
,
methodical
:
his
faithfulness
to
the
Church
,
eminent
:
his
industrious
invention
for
the
State
,
indesatigable
.
He
was
,
in
a
word
,
a
Father
of
his
Country
,
and
of
Sir
Francis
Bacon
.
Sir
Nicholas
Bacon
was
that
moderate
man
that
was
appointed
to
preside
at
the
Disputation
between
the
Protestant
and
Popish
Doctors
in
the
first
of
Queen
Elizabeth
.
He
was
that
Judicious
States-man
,
to
whom
was
trusted
the
management
of
that
Parliament
and
Convocation
:
The
satisfaction
of
the
People
and
Kingdome
,
and
those
Delatory
Proceedings
with
France
,
Spain
and
Rome
,
that
were
at
the
bottom
of
the
great
work
of
Reformation
,
and
settlement
at
that
time
.

Lord
Burleigh
.
WIlliam
[
](A48796-e53010-b)a
a
Descended
of
the
Roman
Cecilii
,
say
some
.
Cecil
was
born
with
the
advantage
of
being
Richard
Cecil's
Son
,
(
who
was
of
the
Robes
to
King
Henry
,
and
a
Legatee
in
his
Will
)
and
bred
with
that
of
being
Commoner
of
St.
Johns
in
Cambridge
,
and
Student
at
the
[

Innes
of
Court
in
London
:
whence
he
was
advanced
by
his
Pregnancy
to
serve
the
Duke
of
Somerset
in
quality
of
Master
of
Requests
,
as
he
was
afterwards
by
his
Master
to
attend
King
Edward
the
sixth
,
in
the
capacity
of
Secretary
of
State
;
where
he
furnished
all
Acts
and
Orders
with
Reasons
of
State
,
as
he
had
them
fitted
by
able
Lawyers
with
Arguments
of
Law
.
He
loved
always
,
they
say
,
to
wrap
the
Prerogative
in
the
Laws
of
the
Land
.
He
was
constant
,
but
not
obstinate
in
his
Advice
.

As
the
Planets
are
whirled
about
dayly
from
East
to
West
by
the
motion
of
the
Primum
Mobile
,
yet
have
a
contrary
motion
of
their
own
from
West
to
East
,
which
they
slowly
,
yet
surely
move
at
their
leisures
:
so
our
States-man
,
though
yeilding
in
some
things
to
Greatness
of
some
Persons
in
an
Age
wherein
it
was
present
drowning
not
to
swim
against
the
stream
;
Yet
had
he
his
counter-endeavours
against
the
prevailing
strain
,
and
privately
advanced
his
rightful
Intentions
against
others
wrongful
Ambitions
.
If
dissenting
from
his
Superiours
,
he
did
it
with
all
humility
and
moderation
;
yet
chusing
always
rather
to
displease
then
betray
.
He
was
in
much
favour
with
King
Edward
,
in
some
with
Queen
Mary
,
in
most
with
Queen
Elizabeth
;
who
though
sparing
of
her
Honours
,
yet
heaped
on
him
the
trust
of
Secretary
of
State
,
the
Profits
of
the
Master
of
the
Wards
,
the
Advancement
of
Lord
Treasurer
,
and
the
degree
of
Baron
of
Burleigh
:
for
as
he
followed
the
Marquess
of
Winchester
in
his
Employment
,
so
he
did
in
his
Complyance
.
When
he
was
out
of
Place
,
he
was
not
out
of
service
in
Queen
Mary's
days
;
his
Abilities
being
as
necessary
in
those
times
as
his
Inclination
;
and
that
Queens
Council
being
as
ready
to
advance
him
at
last
,
as
they
were
to
use
him
all
her
Reign
.
In
Queen
Elizabeth's
time
he
setled
the
Crown
by
setling
Religion
;
and
by
an
utter
separation
from
Rome
,
strengthened
England
.
He
made
equal
use
of
those
that
were
then
Protestants
by
Interest
,
and
they
who
were
so
in
Conscience
:
Those
that
had
affections
for
Church-lands
,
and
those
that
had
affections
for
the
Church
.
The
Pope
would
by
a
Bull
confirm
the
sale
of
Abby-Lands
;
But
who
,
said
Burleigh
,
can
confirm
the
Popes
Bull
?
The
King
of
Spain
secured
the
Queen
in
hope
of
her
Bed
,
the
Pope
winked
at
her
in
hope
of
her
Heart
:
Burleigh
over-reached
the
one
by
a
fair
complaysance
,
and
the
other
by
insensible
alterations
.
During
the
Queens
ten
years
calm
,
Cecil
provided
for
a
tempest
;
and
improved
her
Shipping
and
Ammunition
to
a
dreadfulness
at
Sea
,
as
he
did
her
Army
to
a
great
skill
and
experience
by
Land
.
He
made
Holland
our
Stage
of
War
,
and
our
School
of
Discipline
;
where
England
gained
the
security
and
experience
of
War
without
its
calamity
and
desolations
;
always
Offensive
,
and
once
onely
Defensive
.
His
Intelligence
abroad
,
was
no
less
then
his
Prudence
at
home
;
and
he
could
write
to
a
friend
in
Ireland
what
the
King
of
Spain
could
do
for
two
years
together
,
and
what
he
could
not
do
.
His
Advices
from
his
Pensioners
abroad
,
were
presented
Queen
Elizabeth
once
a
fortnight
;
1.
clearly
and
plainly
;
2.
methodically
and
distinctly
;
3.
speedily
and
seasonably
;
4.
truly
and
fully
.
He
exchanged
his
Interest
for
Walsinghams
Intelligence
,
who
commanded
what
he
could
do
,
as
he
did
what
the
other
knew
.
The
Bull
clapped
at
London-house
,
was
first
in
our
States-mans
Study
;
where
they
might
learn
what
they
were
to
do
,
and
Protestants
what
to
expect
,
many
years
before
any
thing
was
visible
.
When
Leicester
would
have
no
Equal
,
and
Sussex
no
Superiour
,
then
Cecil
as
Neu●er
served
himself
of
them
both
.
He
would
wrestle
with
neither
of
them
,
yet
he
would
trip
them
both
:
they
having
many
rubs
in
their
way
,
yet
never
saw
who
laid
them
.
He
never
quarrelled
with
any
;
neither
,
saith
Cambden
,
did
he
ever
sue
,
or
was
he
ever
sued
.
Prudens
qui
Patiens
,
was
his
saying
,
before
it
was
Sir
Edward
Cookes
Motto
:
and
he
had
rather
tire
out
Opposition
by
his
Moderation
,
then
improve
it
by
his
Impatience
.
Others
were
raised
to
balance
Factions
,
he
to
support
the
Kingdome
:
Fickle
Favour
tossed
them
,
constant
Interest
secured
him
.
No
fewer
then
the
Marquess
of
Winchester
,
the
Duke
of
Norfolk
,
the
Earls
of
Northumberland
,
Arundel
,
Pembroke
,
Leicester
and
Westmorland
contrived
his
fall
;
but
reason
of
State
and
his
Mistress
kept
up
his
standing
.
Sir
Nicholas
Throgmorton
advised
them
to
clap
him
up
,
saying
,
That
then
men
would
open
their
mouths
to
speak
freely
against
him
:
but
the
Queen
understanding
hereof
,
and
standing
,
as
I
may
say
,
[

(
saith
my
Author
)
in
the
very
prison-door
,
quashed
all
their
Designes
,
and
freed
him
from
the
mischief
projected
against
him
.
Great
was
the
value
the
Queen
set
upon
him
,
as
her
ablest
Minister
of
State
:
for
coming
once
to
visit
him
being
sick
of
the
Gout
at
Burleigh-house
in
the
Strand
,
and
being
much
heightned
with
her
Head-attire
then
in
fashion
,
the
Lords
servant
who
conducted
her
through
the
door
,
said
,
May
your
Highness
be
pleased
to
stoop
.
The
Queen
returned
,
For
your
Masters
sake
I
will
stoop
,
but
not
for
the
King
of
Spain
.
She
would
make
him
always
sit
down
in
her
presence
:
saying
,
My
Lord
,
we
make
use
of
you
not
for
your
bad
Legs
,
but
your
good
Head
.
He
was
a
good
friend
to
the
Church
as
then
established
by
Law
;
advising
his
son
Thomas
never
to
build
a
great
House
,
or
bestow
any
great
charge
upon
an
Impropriation
,
as
fearing
the
foundation
might
fail
hereafter
:
yet
conniving
at
sober
Non-conformists
,
to
strengthen
the
foundation
at
present
,
he
checked
the
forwardness
of
private
men
,
and
advanced
the
honour
of
the
publick
Establishment
on
all
hands
.
Good
my
Lord
,
(
saith
he
in
his
Letter
to
Archbishop
Whitgift
,
in
the
behalf
of
some
squeamish
Ministers
)
bear
with
my
scribbling
;
I
write
with
the
testimony
of
a
good
Conscience
:
I
desire
the
peace
of
the
Church
;
I
desire
concord
and
unity
in
the
exercise
of
our
Religion
:
I
fear
no
sensual
or
wilful
Recusant
.
I
would
not
make
Offenders
,
neither
would
I
protect
them
.
And
I
pray
your
Grace
bear
this
,
(
and
perchance
a
fault
)
and
yet
I
have
sharply
admonished
them
,
that
if
they
will
be
Disturbers
in
their
Churches
,
they
must
be
corrected
:
and
yet
upon
your
Graces
answer
to
me
,
Ne
sutor
ultra
Crepidam
:
neither
will
I
put
Falcem
in
alterius
Messem
.
(
Was
his
Chaplain
Traverse
his
hand
in
all
this
?
)
And
then
again
:
If
I
had
known
his
fault
,
(
saith
he
of
Brown
)
I
might
be
blamed
for
Writing
for
him
.
Thus
he
carried
matters
without
passion
and
prejudice
prudently
,
as
became
so
great
a
States-man
.
He
was
not
rigid
,
yet
he
was
careful
:
He
would
help
the
good-natured
,
yet
punish
the
stubborn
:
He
would
rather
be
where
nothing
is
lawful
,
then
where
all
things
are
so
.
He
would
never
skrue
up
the
Law
to
the
pitch
of
cruelty
,
nor
unloose
it
to
the
remissness
of
Libertinism
.
He
was
no
less
honourable
a
Patron
of
the
University
,
then
he
was
a
faithful
Son
of
the
Church
:
(
the
Church
strengtheneth
the
State
,
and
the
Universities
furnish
both
:
)
particularly
in
the
case
of
Rent-corn
,
which
(
saith
my
Author
)
first
grew
in
Sir
Thomas
Smiths
head
,
yet
was
ripened
by
Burleighs
assistance
;
whereby
,
though
the
Rents
of
the
Colledges
stand
still
,
their
Revenues
increase
.
He
was
not
surer
of
all
Church-men
and
Scholars
by
his
Obligations
upon
them
,
then
he
was
of
all
by
his
complaisance
and
pleasantness
.
None
more
grave
then
he
in
Publick
,
none
more
free
in
Private
;
especially
at
his
Table
,
where
he
drew
something
out
of
his
heaviest
guests
;
having
an
admirable
Dexterity
in
reading
and
observing
men
,
their
own
occasional
openings
in
common
discourse
;
there
being
more
hold
to
be
taken
of
a
few
words
casually
uttered
,
then
of
set
solemn
Speeches
,
which
rather
shew
mens
Arts
then
their
Natures
,
as
indited
rather
of
their
brains
then
hearts
.
His
power
awed
many
,
his
conversation
obliged
more
.
He
had
his
hour
to
put
on
his
Gown
,
and
his
hour
to
put
it
off
:
When
he
would
say
,
Lie
thou
there
,
Lord
Treasurer
;
and
bidding
Adieu
to
all
State-affairs
,
he
disposed
himself
to
his
quiet
and
rest
.
He
laid
the
Designes
of
War
by
his
own
Theory
,
and
his
friends
Intelligence
;
yet
he
advised
peace
,
and
died
before
the
Question
was
determined
,
Whether
a
War
with
Spain
?
Others
understood
the
Nature
of
War
,
but
he
onely
the
Expediency
and
Conveniency
.
If
War
was
necessary
,
none
more
forward
to
promote
it
,
none
more
careful
to
maintain
it
:
knowing
,
that
in
vain
do
the
brows
beat
,
the
eyes
sparkle
,
the
tongue
threaten
,
the
fist
bend
,
and
the
arm
strike
,
if
the
belly
be
not
fed
,
and
the
back
cloathed
:
and
indeed
this
was
his
Master-piece
,
that
the
Queen
vying
Gold
and
Silver
with
the
King
of
Spain
,
had
Money
or
Credit
when
the
other
had
neither
;
Her
Exchequer
,
saith
my
Author
,
though
but
a
Pond
in
comparison
,
holding
water
,
when
his
River
fed
with
a
Spring
from
the
Indies
,
was
dreined
dry
.
It
was
with
his
advice
▪
that
that
Queen
paid
her
Obligations
in
Preferments
,
rather
then
Money
;
giving
away
not
above
two
Largesses
of
that
nature
in
her
life
.
In
a
word
,
when
others
set
in
a
Cloud
,
he
shined
clear
to
his
last
:
He
saw
Essex
dead
,
Leicester
slighted
,
Mountjoy
discountenanced
;
and
what
with
the
Queens
constant
favour
,
which
lodged
where
it
lighted
,
and
his
own
temper
and
moderation
,
when
more
violent
men
failed
,
he
died
as
great
a
Favourite
as
he
lived
;
leaving
his
son
Thomas
so
much
Estate
as
advanced
him
to
the
Earldome
of
Exeter
;
and
his
son
Robert
so
much
State-Discipline
as
raised
him
successi●è
to
be
Secretary
of
State
,
Master
of
the
Court
of
Wards
,
Lord
Treasurer
,
and
Earl
of
Salisbury
.
He
was
a
very
exact
and
a
wary
Observer
of
Forreign
Transaction
;
witness
this
passage
to
Sir
Henry
Norris
Embassador
in
France
:
The
rare
manner
of
your
Entertainment
,
hath
moved
the
Queens
Majesty
to
muse
upon
what
score
it
should
be
,
being
more
then
hath
been
used
in
like
cases
to
her
Embassadors
,
and
such
as
besides
your
own
report
hath
been
by
others
lately
advertised
:
And
for
that
in
such
things
Guesses
be
doubtful
,
I
pray
you
by
your
next
advertise
me
what
your self
do
think
of
it
;
and
in
the
mean
time
I
know
you
are
not
untaught
to
judge
of
the
difference
between
fair
words
and
good
deeds
,
as
the
saying
is
,
Fortuna
cum
adblanditur
Capitum
advenit
.
His
thoughts
of
a
Rebel
that
submitted
,
take
in
these
words
:
Of
late
Shane
Oneal
hath
made
means
to
the
Lord
Deputy
of
Ireland
to
be
received
into
grace
,
pretending
that
he
hath
meant
no
manner
of
unlawfulness
towards
the
Queen
:
by
which
is
gathered
that
he
groweth
weary
of
his
lewdness
:
yet
I
think
he
is
no
therwise
to
be
reformed
then
by
sharp
prosecution
,
which
is
intended
to
be
followed
no
whit
the
less
for
any
his
fair
Writings
,
as
reason
is
.
Of
Intelligence
he
writes
thus
:
I
doubt
not
but
you
shall
have
of
his
hand
no
lack
of
Intelligence
,
which
you
must
credit
as
you
see
cause
by
proof
of
the
event
.
About
Embassadors
Dispatches
he
saith
,
He
must
write
apart
to
the
Secretary
in
matters
containing
trouble
and
business
,
and
to
his
Soveraign
of
Advice
.
In
a
particular
Negotiation
about
Pyrates
,
he
advised
,
That
the
King
of
France
and
his
Council
might
perceive
that
it
is
well
known
how
the
Pyrates
are
suffered
to
do
what
they
will
,
notwithstanding
it
be
contrary
to
Proclamation
.
And
yet
you
shall
so
order
the
matter
,
(
saith
he
to
a
French
Ambassador
)
as
not
that
you
shall
finde
fault
with
this
manner
of
suffering
:
for
that
ought
properly
to
be
to
the
Spanish
or
Portugal
Embassador
,
with
whom
you
may
sometime
deal
,
to
understand
how
they
do
,
know
what
is
done
,
and
how
they
do
interpret
it
.
Touching
the
King
of
Scots
murther
,
he
would
say
,
There
are
words
spoken
which
I
hold
best
to
suppress
:
Neither
would
I
have
you
(
saith
he
to
his
friend
)
utter
any
of
these
things
,
not
doubting
but
shortly
God
will
cause
the
truth
to
be
revealed
.
Of
an
underhand
Traytor
he
writes
to
his
friend
,
I
pray
write
unto
me
somewhat
more
particularly
for
the
proof
of
his
trayterous
speeches
,
whereby
there
might
be
some
ground
made
how
to
have
him
demanded
.
Of
the
demanding
of
a
Town
promised
in
a
Treaty
:
Sir
Thomas
Smith
went
to
demand
Callis
,
not
that
we
think
the
Governour
will
deliver
it
,
but
to
avoid
all
cavillation
which
they
might
invent
:
(
for
by
Law
it
must
be
demanded
upon
the
very
place
;
and
being
not
delivered
,
the
sum
of
500000
l.
is
forfeited
)
Mr.
Winter
shall
pass
secretly
with
him
to
take
possession
thereof
,
if
they
deceive
our
expectation
:
but
not
past
three
of
the
Council
know
of
Winters
going
.
Concerning
the
unreasonable
words
of
Princes
,
he
saith
,
If
hereof
the
Embassador
(
meaning
the
French
)
shall
make
any
sinister
report
,
you
may
as
you
see
cause
well
maintain
the
Queens
answer
to
be
very
reasonable
,
as
having
cause
to
mislike
the
manner
of
Writing
of
the
Queen
thereon
:
which
nevertheless
you
may
impute
to
the
unadvisedness
of
the
Secretary
:
for
so
the
Queens
Majesty
doth
impute
it
.
Of
the
troubles
in
Scotland
,
he
observed
the
French
made
their
present
advantage
to
the
damage
of
England
:
and
you
know
that
Scotland
is
the
French
King
to
it
,
as
Ireland
is
the
Spanish
.
Of
Forraign
News
he
writes
to
Sir
Henry
Norris
,
That
he
would
be
glad
to
have
a
Note
of
the
Names
of
the
chiefest
Nobility
of
France
,
and
with
whom
they
be
married
:
adding
thereto
any
other
thing
that
may
belong
to
the
knowledge
of
their
lineage
and
degrees
,
as
you
shall
think
meet
.
He
writes
,
That
her
Majesty
being
a
Prince
her self
,
is
doubtful
to
give
countenance
to
subjects
.
I
wish
(
saith
he
)
to
have
a
Kalendar
of
them
who
are
with
the
Prince
,
and
also
to
see
the
Edicts
that
have
lately
passed
from
the
King
against
them
,
and
that
in
these
troublesome
times
,
wherein
accidents
are
so
diversly
reported
,
your
advices
were
large
and
repeated
,
and
that
we
had
such
Articles
as
pass
on
both
sides
.
Of
France
he
saith
,
You
must
think
that
seeing
all
the
parts
of
Christendome
are
intentive
to
hear
of
the
matters
of
France
,
we
cannot
be
careless
to
whom
the
same
belongeth
next
of
all
,
whatsoever
the
end
thereof
shall
be
.
Of
the
Distractions
of
France
,
thus
to
our
Embassador
in
France
:
If
you
told
the
Queen-mother
so
as
of
your
own
head
,
as
a
thing
you
hear
spread
abroad
in
the
world
,
I
think
you
might
do
well
,
and
speak
truly
:
for
as
for
the
Popes
Ministers
,
their
Profession
is
to
prefer
the
Weal
of
their
own
Church
before
the
good
state
of
any
Kingdome
on
earth
;
and
whatsoever
come
of
any
thing
,
they
look
onely
to
the
continuance
of
their
own
ambitious
Ruling
.
And
as
for
other
Ministers
of
Princes
,
or
for
men
of
War
,
it
is
a
truth
infallible
,
The
more
they
do
impoverish
that
Monarchy
of
France
,
the
better
they
think
their
own
Estates
.
Of
a
plot
discovered
,
he
writes
:
We
can
truly
hit
no
man
,
wherefore
it
is
necessary
that
you
speak
again
with
the
Party
that
gave
you
this
Intelligence
;
and
if
the
matter
be
of
truth
,
and
not
a
disguising
to
some
other
purpose
,
he
can
as
well
obtain
you
the
knowledge
of
the
party
in
certainty
,
as
thus
to
give
a
guess
at
him
:
for
as
he
hath
his
Intelligence
of
the
matter
which
he
uttered
to
you
,
so
may
be
attain
to
a
more
perfect
knowledge
.
For
the
Protestants
he
saith
,
I
pray
you
put
them
in
comfort
;
that
if
extreamity
shall
happen
,
they
must
not
be
left
:
for
it
is
so
universal
a
cause
,
as
none
of
the
Religion
can
separate
themselves
one
from
another
.
We
must
all
pray
together
,
and
stand
fast
together
.
Of
a
Professor
he
writes
,
The
Queens
Majesty
will
in
no
wise
hear
of
such
matters
,
which
she
thinketh
are
but
changeable
,
and
without
fruit
;
although
I
had
earnestly
moved
her
Majesty
to
have
adventured
some
small
piece
of
money
upon
such
a
man
:
therefore
I
see
no
remedy
but
to
pay
him
as
well
as
may
be
with
good
words
.
Touching
the
Plot
again
:
Methinks
that
the
Parties
that
tell
you
such
pieces
of
tales
,
if
the
whole
were
true
,
might
as
well
tell
you
the
whole
,
as
such
obscure
parts
:
which
if
they
do
not
,
you
might
well
alledge
them
to
be
but
devices
to
breed
unquietness
and
suspition
;
and
as
I
wrote
before
unto
you
,
they
might
be
tempted
with
offer
of
rewards
,
that
the
truth
of
the
matter
might
be
disclosed
:
and
surely
me
thinks
still
,
since
the
Informers
will
not
be
known
of
the
particulars
in
more
certainty
,
that
these
things
are
intended
to
bring
us
into
their
places
:
but
yet
no
diligence
is
to
be
omitted
.
Touching
the
delivery
of
an
Embassie
,
he
writes
,
And
I
think
if
you
would
in
the
Translating
thereof
distribute
it
into
sundry
members
by
way
of
Articles
,
you
should
the
better
carry
it
in
your
minde
;
making
thereby
an
account
with
your self
of
the
better
delivery
thereof
.
And
you
shall
do
well
to
let
some
such
as
favour
the
intention
of
the
Queens
Message
,
to
see
the
Copy
of
the
Letter
;
whereby
they
may
percase
being
called
to
give
advice
to
the
King
,
further
the
cause
,
to
the
benefit
of
them
of
the
Religion
.
I
would
be
glad
to
hear
a
Brief
,
or
as
they
call
it
,
a
List
of
the
Names
of
the
princip●l
persons
that
have
a
charge
now
in
these
Wars
of
France
on
both
parts
,
with
the
Contents
as
near
as
you
can
of
their
numbers
.
Of
the
Queen
of
Scots
Affairs
,
he
concludes
:
God
send
her
Majesty
clear
of
these
Scotish
matters
,
whereinto
the
entry
is
easie
,
but
the
passage
within
doubtful
;
and
I
fear
the
end
will
be
monstrous
:
I
am
thrown
into
a
maze
at
this
,
that
I
know
not
how
to
walk
from
dangers
.
Sir
Walter
Mildmay
and
I
are
sent
to
the
Scotish
Queen
,
as
by
the
Queens
Majesties
Letters
you
may
see
:
God
be
our
Guide
;
for
neither
of
us
like
the
Message
.
1.
Knowledge
is
the
Treasure
of
the
Mind
,
Discretion
is
the
Key
:
the
Practick
Part
of
Wisdom
is
the
best
:
a
native
Ingenuity
is
beyond
the
watchings
of
industrious
Study
.
There
are
no
such
Guards
of
safety
as
Vertue
and
Wisdome
:
Danger
cannot
make
impression
on
the
Vertuous
,
nor
Fortune
subvert
the
Wise
:
The
Wise
man
cannot
fall
.
Prudence
is
a
safe
Conduct
through
the
various
Casualties
of
Mortality
.
He
declines
in
Wisdome
,
that
falls
in
Fortune
.
Discretion
sways
the
Stars
and
Fate
.
Ad
summum
sapiens
uno
minor
est
Jove
;
dives
,
Liber
,
Honoratus
,
pulcher
,
Rex
denique
regum
.
"
Take
all
;
there
's
but
one
Jove
above
him
:
He
"
Is
Rich
,
Fair
,
Noble
,
King
of
Kings
,
and
free
.
The
World
is
a
shop
of
Instruments
,
whereof
the
Wise
man
is
Master
;
and
a
Kingdome
but
a
Frame
of
Engines
,
whereunto
he
is
the
Wheel
.
2.
Smoothness
declineth
Envy
and
Danger
,
Humility
advanceth
to
Honour
,
Moderation
preserves
in
it
.
Men
come
down
by
Domineering
.
Haste
undoeth
that
,
which
a
just
Delay
ripeneth
.
Our
Wise
man
would
say
,
Stay
a
little
,
and
we
will
have
done
the
sooner
.
An
Estate
evened
with
these
thoughts
,
endureth
.
It
's
an
excellent
Motto
:
Nolo
Minor
me
timeat
,
despiciat
ve
Major
.
"
My
Inferiour
shall
not
fear
,
my
Superiour
shall
"
not
despise
me
.
3.
Humility
shuns
Honour
,
and
is
the
way
to
it
:
The
purest
Gold
is
most
Ductile
.
It
's
commonly
a
good
Blade
that
bends
well
.
The
Reed
that
bends
and
is
whole
,
is
better
then
the
strong
Oak
that
not
bending
breaks
.
4.
There
is
no
such
prevalent
Work-man
as
Sedulity
and
Diligence
:
A
man
would
wonder
at
the
mighty
things
which
have
been
done
by
degrees
,
and
gentle
augmentations
.
Patience
,
Diligence
and
Moderation
are
the
common
steps
to
Excellency
.
It
's
for
Omnipotence
to
do
mighty
things
in
a
moment
;
but
degreeingly
to
grow
to
Greatness
,
is
the
course
he
hath
left
for
Man

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Walter
Devereux
Earl
of
Essex
.
WAlter
Devereux
was
by
his
[
](A48796-e54960-b)*
*
Cicely
,
Daughter
of
Thomas
Bourchier
,
late
Earl
of
Essex
.
Mothers
side
born
to
,
and
by
his
Soveraigns
favour
possessed
of
the
Earldom
of
Essex
:
His
Spirit
was
as
the
time
,
martial
and
active
,
equally
impatient
of
rust
in
his
Soul
,
and
in
his
Sword
:
Forreign
Countreys
bred
then
those
Souldiers
that
England
employed
:
The
University
made
a
Scholar
,
the
Court
a
Man
,
and
Flanders
the
Souldier
.
His
Actions
brought
him
to
the
presence
,
and
his
Presence
commended
Him
to
the
Heart
of
Queen
Elizabeth
:
But
the
shadow
doth
not
more
naturally
attend
the
Sun
,
then
Envy
doth
Favour
:
Since
he
must
rise
,
it
s
contrived
he
should
rise
so
high
,
that
he
must
fall
:
Yet
he
might
have
lived
longer
,
it
was
thought
,
if
his
Wife
had
not
there
more
favour
then
himself
:
Abraham
was
afraid
of
,
and
Sir
Walter
was
undone
by
his
Sarah's
Beauty
:
This
is
certain
,
he
was
no
sooner
in
his
Grave
,
than
the
same
great
man
whom
he
declared
his
Enemy
at
his
Death
,
was
his
Successor
in
his
Marriage-Bed
.
Ambitious
was
he
of
the
Irish
Service
,
and
subtle
were
others
to
fill
up
his
Sayls
so
wide
,
as
to
be
over-turned
;
at
once
diving
into
,
and
ruining
him
by
his
Humour
:
Weary
was
he
of
the
Court
,
and
weary
,
as
he
observed
,
was
that
of
him
:
In
comes
Leicester
in
this
juncture
,
and
advanceth
him
to
the
Soveraign
Honour
of
maintaining
an
Army
at
his
own
charge
,
and
the
Royalty
of
Claudboy
in
Vlster
;
the
first
he
knew
would
(
as
it
fell
out
)
undo
him
;
the
other
was
the
Bears
skin
,
when
he
could
catch
,
kill
and
fley
it
;
and
the
whole
plot
was
but
the
supplanting
of
him
out
of
a
real
Estate
in
England
and
Wales
,
to
an
imaginary
one
in
Ireland
.
Over
he
goeth
with
as
splendid
a
Retinue
of
Kindered
,
Friends
,
supernumerarie
Voluntiers
,
as
his
Son
to
the
same
Service
,
or
his
Grandson
to
one
more
unhappy
:
Sir
William
Fitz-William's
Jealousie
heard
of
his
Parade
,
and
his
Industry
out-reached
him
so
far
,
that
all
that
preparation
amounted
to
no
more
honour
,
than
to
have
been
commissioned
,
after
much
importunity
and
attendance
,
by
him
;
nor
to
any
more
advantage
than
the
bare
Government
of
Vlster
:
Little
good
did
he
in
Vlster
,
(
now
under
the
discouraging
and
heartless
impressions
of
discontent
)
less
in
the
South
of
Ireland
,
whither
he
was
remanded
by
the
Deputy
,
whose
design
was
not
to
see
how
successfully
he
would
conquer
,
but
how
dutifully
he
would
obey
;
in
six
months
time
spending
4000
l.
to
ruine
himself
:
But
alas
!
in
vain
doth
he
conquer
,
who
was
always
forbid
to
pursue
and
improve
his
Victory
:
no
sooner
did
his
Fortune
favour
him
in
one
place
,
but
he
was
called
to
his
Misfortune
in
another
:
for
no
sooner
doth
he
by
experience
and
acquaintance
with
the
situation
of
any
Place
,
the
humour
or
interest
of
any
People
,
the
weaknesses
and
strengths
of
any
Enemy
,
the
advantages
or
disadvantages
of
any
Undertaking
,
ripen
circumstances
towards
success
,
but
he
is
called
off
to
a
new
and
unacquainted
scene
of
action
,
where
he
shall
lose
his
Army
,
before
he
knoweth
how
to
employ
it
.
His
friends
at
Court
grew
few
and
cold
,
his
foes
many
and
active
;
his
affronts
continual
to
disorder
him
by
passion
,
or
sink
him
in
despair
.
His
Commission
was
but
short
before
,
but
is
none
now
;
onely
three
hundred
men
stick
to
him
:
his
Money
failing
,
his
Noble
Followers
withdrawing
,
his
Common
Souldiers
mutiny
,
and
he
is
recalled
.
And
happy
had
he
been
,
could
he
have
been
quiet
:
but
nothing
would
compleat
some
mens
Designes
,
but
his
Ruine
;
and
nothing
could
ruine
him
but
Honour
,
that
at
once
pleased
his
humour
,
and
wasted
his
Estate
.
Earl-Marshal
of
Ireland
he
is
made
,
and
thither
he
goeth
in
great
state
to
die
,
anno
1576
,
and
the
36
of
his
Age
:
a
year
fatal
to
that
Family
,
which
none
of
them
exceeded
but
the
last
,
who
had
been
〈…〉
ppy
if
he
had
died
sooner
,
or
lived
longer
then
he
did
.
Although
Sir
Walter
Devereux
had
not
that
success
over
others
which
his
Valour
deserved
,
yet
he
had
that
conquest
of
himself
that
Vertue
onely
gives
;
shewing
himself
as
good
at
the
Buckler
,
as
at
the
Sword
;
at
suffering
,
as
well
as
acting
.
All
his
changes
from
without
he
bore
with
,
none
within
;
his
even
and
solid
minde
that
fashioned
its
own
fate
,
enjoying
its
constant
calm
amidst
all
the
tempests
of
malice
and
ambition
.
Those
ignoble
courses
were
not
greater
Arguments
of
his
Enemies
narrowness
and
degeneracy
,
then
his
resolved
Patience
was
of
his
largeness
and
generousness
of
spirit
;
he
being
as
much
above
those
smaller
tricks
,
as
they
were
below
his
Adversaries
.
We
make
our selves
more
Injuries
then
are
offered
us
;
and
the
apprehension
of
wrong
doth
more
harm
then
the
smartest
part
of
the
wrong
it self
.
It
's
the
Wise-mans
glory
,
and
the
States-mans
prudence
,
to
pass
by
Offences
.
A
Fool
struck
Cato
in
the
Bath
;
and
when
he
was
sorry
for
it
,
Cato
had
forgot
it
:
for
,
(
saith
Seneca
)
Melius
putavit
non
agnoscere
quam
ignoscere
.
Light
Injuries
are
made
none
by
a
not-regarding
:
which
with
a
pursuing
Revenge
grow
both
to
heighth
and
burden
,
and
live
to
mischief
us
,
when
they
might
die
to
secure
us
.
It
's
Princely
(
saith
one
)
to
disdain
a
Wrong
,
who
when
Embassadours
have
offered
Undecencies
,
use
not
to
chide
,
but
deny
them
audience
:
as
if
silence
were
the
way
Royal
to
revenge
a
Wrong
.
The
upper
Region
is
most
composed
;
The
wisest
Rage
the
least
,
knowing
that
Observation
and
Resent●ent
do
but
provoke
and
encourage
that
Malice
which
neglect
and
silence
deads
and
dissipates
.
And
it
was
Sir
Walter
's
Fathers
Maxim●
,
That
Discontent
was
the
greatest
weakness
of
a
generous
Soul
,
which
is
always
so
intent
upon
its
unhappiness
,
that
it
forgets
its
remedies
.
This
Lord
was
a
great
instance
of
that
Maxime
,
That
it
's
an
equal
mischief
to
distrust
all
,
as
to
believe
all
;
although
of
the
two
,
the
safest
is
to
distrust
:
for
Fear
had
secured
this
Noble
Person
,
while
Confidence
ruined
him
;
it
being
a
Vertue
onely
when
men
were
innocent
,
but
ever
since
,
the
bane
of
those
that
own
it
.
Three
things
undid
this
Earl
:
-
1.
That
he
could
not
imagine
he
was
to
be
ruined
by
his
Advancement
.
-
2.
That
he
never
mistrusted
an
Oath
.
-
3.
That
he
never
considered
,
that
as
Princes
,
so
Favourites
,
have
many
eyes
,
and
long
hands
.
He
that
is
so
open
as
to
reserve
nothing
from
friends
,
is
renowned
for
Charity
;
but
he
that
is
so
to
lie
at
the
mercy
of
all
,
is
marked
for
ruine
.
No
sooner
understood
my
Lord
of
Leicester
Essex
his
Disposition
,
but
the
bitter
Fool
Pace
could
tell
his
Fortune
,
begging
of
my
Lord
at
his
departure
the
making
of
his
Mourning
;
and
adding
,
You
and
I
have
done
for
this
world
.
Walter
Earl
of
Essex
had
been
happy
if
he
had
not
lived
in
my
Lord
of
Leicester's
time
:
his
son
Robert
renowned
,
had
he
not
been
Sir
Robert
Cecil's
Contemporary
;
and
his
Grandchilde
an
Heroe
,
had
he
not
known
my
Lord
Say
and
Mr.
Hampden
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Earl
of
Sussex
.
THomas
Radcliff
Earl
of
Sussex
,
was
of
a
very
Noble
and
Ancient
Lineage
,
honoured
through
many
Descents
by
the
Title
of
Viscounts
Fitz-Walters
.
He
was
a
goodly
Gentleman
,
and
of
a
brave
noble
Nature
,
true
and
constant
to
his
friends
and
servants
,
noted
for
honesty
:
a
very
excellent
Souldier
,
being
one
of
the
Queens
Martialists
,
who
did
very
good
service
in
Ireland
at
her
first
accession
,
till
she
recalled
him
to
the
Court
,
where
she
made
him
Lord
Chamberlain
;
and
though
he
was
not
endowed
with
the
cunningness
and
dexterity
as
others
were
,
yet
upon
his
Death-bed
he
gave
his
friends
a
caveat
whom
they
should
beware
.
His
words
,
(
saith
Sir
Robert
Naunton
)
are
these
:
I
am
now
passing
into
another
World
,
and
must
leave
you
to
your
Fortunes
,
and
to
the
Queens
Graces
:
but
beware
of
the
Gypsie
,
for
he
will
be
too
hard
for
you
all
;
you
know
not
the
beast
so
well
as
I
do
.
His
Prowess
and
Integrity
drew
the
Souldiers
after
him
,
Leicester's
Courtship
and
Cunning
the
Courtiers
,
Cecil's
Prudence
and
Service
the
States-men
.
He
succeeded
his
Father
in
his
Fortune
,
and
in
his
Favour
;
his
Prudence
and
Resolution
promoting
him
to
the
Government
of
Ireland
and
the
North
;
his
good
husbandry
and
skill
in
Surveying
,
making
him
Justice
in
Eyre
of
all
the
Parks
beyond
Trent
;
and
his
comely
Presence
advancing
him
Lord
Chamberlain
.
Queen
Elizabeth
poyzed
her
State
by
Factions
abroad
,
and
Parties
at
home
;
her
chiefest
wisdome
lying
in
her
general
correspondence
and
complyance
with
each
Party
,
as
her
Interest
lay
in
their
incomplyance
and
distance
from
one
another
.
My
Lord
of
Sussex
left
this
Memorial
behind
him
,
That
for
Rising
Men
to
stick
to
a
side
,
is
necessary
;
For
Great
Men
to
be
indifferent
,
is
wise
:
and
this
,
That
he
and
my
Lord
of
Leicester
cleared
and
purged
the
Court
:
their
cross
Observations
refining
each
person
that
was
admitted
to
Court
;
none
daring
any
injustice
while
Leicester
observed
him
on
the
one
hand
,
and
Sussex
punished
him
on
the
other
.
Then
no
deserving
Person
could
be
excluded
by
the
one
,
that
could
serve
his
Prince
;
nor
any
undeserving
one
admitted
,
that
might
disparage
him
:
one
Interest
being
sure
to
receive
the
one
,
as
the
other
was
to
exclude
the
other
.
Divers
persons
(
saith
one
)
of
equal
Authority
,
though
both
wicked
,
do
in
experience
produce
more
Justice
then
a
greater
Probity
in
a
single
individua●
hath
been
heard
to
pronounce
;
in
a
divided
Court
the
Creatures
of
one
Party
being
the
Enemies
of
another
,
no
less
powerful
;
and
so
they
both
become
liable
to
accusation
,
or
capable
of
defence
:
and
from
the
sparkles
of
this
clashing
,
not
onely
Persons
and
Actions
,
but
the
Publick
Councils
came
to
be
refined
from
the
Rust
and
Cankers
that
grow
by
an
Unanimity
.
Faction
can
be
as
little
spared
in
a
Monarchy
,
as
an
Eye
or
an
Ear
,
as
through
which
the
Prince
hath
a
clearer
apprehension
of
his
own
and
others
Affairs
,
then
he
can
have
when
his
followers
are
all
agreed
:
through
the
percussion
of
equal
Factions
,
as
through
that
of
Flint
and
Steel
,
all
things
coming
to
light
by
Debates
,
that
might
either
advance
or
eclipse
a
Princes
glory
.
When
my
Lord
of
Sussex
could
not
overbear
Leicester
with
Power
,
he
did
it
with
Policy
;
and
by
yeilding
to
him
,
conquered
him
:
for
(
as
he
observed
)
when
he
and
his
friends
retired
,
Leicester
and
his
subdivided
;
and
he
was
checked
more
by
the
Ambition
he
taught
his
own
Followers
,
then
by
the
competition
of
his
Adversaries
.
When
Factions
are
carried
too
high
,
and
too
violently
,
it
is
a
signe
of
weakness
in
Princes
,
and
much
to
the
prejudice
of
their
Authority
and
Business
:
The
motions
of
Factions
under
Kings
,
ought
to
be
like
the
motions
(
as
the
Astronomers
speak
)
of
the
Verulam's
Essays
.
Inferiour
Orbs
,
which
may
have
their
proper
Inclination
,
but
yet
are
still
quietly
carried
by
the
higher
motion
of
the
Primum
Mobile
.
Queen
Elizabeth
had
an
happy
time
of
it
,
if
it
were
but
for
this
,
That
her
Favourites
Divisions
were
her
support
:
for
thereby
she
attained
the
knowledge
of
all
things
that
happened
,
so
as
no
Suit
or
Designe
passed
the
Royal
Assent
,
before
she
understood
as
much
of
Reason
as
Enemies
or
Friends
could
bring
for
or
against
it
.
The
Character
this
third
great
Lord
of
his
Family
left
behind
him
,
was
,
This
year
died
a
man
of
a
great
spirit
and
faithfulness
to
his
Country
:
and
therefore
none
freer
then
he
of
his
thoughts
,
none
sounder
then
he
in
his
counsels
.
Nor
did
this
freedome
of
Communication
betray
his
future
Resolutions
to
the
discovery
of
his
Enemies
,
as
they
opened
his
heart
to
the
observation
of
his
Prince
:
for
through
a
seeming
unconstancy
,
not
of
words
,
but
of
action
;
not
his
weakness
,
but
his
nimbleness
,
(
the
Bird
on
the
wing
is
safe
)
he
could
so
often
vary
,
as
it
was
not
easie
to
discover
where
or
when
he
would
be
buzzing
,
and
give
the
blow
:
by
which
unsteady
carriage
,
He
so
befooled
his
Adversaries
with
their
Spies
and
Pensioners
,
as
they
were
at
a
loss
what
to
inform
their
Patrons
of
,
or
themselves
how
to
resolve
.
Fortune
and
Conduct
set
up
this
Favourite
,
it
falling
in
his
Character
as
at
Primero
,
and
other
Plays
,
wherein
Fortune
is
directed
and
conducted
by
Art
.
The
best
and
subtilest
Gamester
may
loose
,
if
it
cross
him
;
but
if
it
smiles
and
favours
,
he
knoweth
best
how
to
manage
and
govern
it
.
Five
things
raised
this
person
to
a
respect
as
great
as
his
fortune
;
to
be
as
high
in
the
Queens
favour
,
as
he
was
in
his
Descent
.
-
1.
A
Civility
set
off
with
State
.
-
2.
A
pleasing
Modesty
of
Countenance
,
and
A●●ability
of
Speech
,
ennameled
with
Gravity
.
-
3.
A
Boldness
attended
with
Patience
.
-
4.
A
great
Capacity
,
enlivened
with
as
great
Dexterity
.
And
-
5.
An
Integrity
secured
with
wariness
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Lord
Willoughby
.
THe
Lord
Willoughby
was
one
of
the
Queens
first
Sword-men
:
he
was
of
the
antient
extract
of
the
Bartues
,
but
more
e●●obled
by
his
Mother
,
who
was
Dutchess
of
Suffolk
.
He
was
a
great
Master
of
the
Art
Military
,
and
was
sent
General
into
France
,
and
commanded
the
second
of
five
Armies
that
the
Queen
sent
thither
in
aid
of
the
French
.
As
he
was
a
great
Souldier
,
so
was
he
of
a
suitable
Magnanimity
,
and
could
not
brook
the
obsequiousness
and
assiduity
of
the
Court
at
that
time
.
He
had
more
favour
then
he
courted
,
and
he
courted
more
(
rather
to
comply
with
the
Queens
humour
,
then
his
own
inclination
)
then
he
desired
.
He
would
say
,
and
that
saying
did
him
no
good
,
(
saith
Sir
Robert
Naunton
)
That
he
was
none
of
the
Reptilia
,
being
made
rather
to
march
as
a
Souldier
,
then
to
creep
as
a
Courtier
.
But
Civility
must
allay
Nature
in
a
Courtier
,
Prudence
regulate
it
in
a
States-man
,
and
modest
submission
check
and
soften
it
in
a
Subject
.
It
's
as
dangerous
to
be
stubbornly
above
the
Kindnesses
,
as
it
is
to
be
factiously
against
the
Power
of
Princes
.
Willoughby
got
nothing
,
Stanley
lost
all
by
his
haughtiness
;
which
when
it
cannot
be
obliged
,
is
suspected
.
But
his
service
in
France
,
Holland
,
and
on
the
Borders
,
compounded
for
his
roughness
:
so
that
to
he
who
could
not
endure
he
should
be
high
at
Court
,
were
pleased
he
should
be
so
in
the
Field
.
Stiffness
which
displeased
when
looked
on
as
Pride
at
home
,
took
when
heard
to
be
Resolution
abroad
.
Each
Nature
is
advanced
in
its
own
Element
:
Leicester
among
the
Ladies
,
my
Lord
Willoughby
among
the
Souldiers
.
It
's
a
step
to
Greatness
to
know
our
own
way
to
it
;
to
exercise
and
shew
our
proper
Vertues
as
he
did
:
his
Magnanimity
in
these
two
instances
,
among
many
others
.
1.
When
one
challenged
him
then
sick
of
the
Gout
,
he
said
,
That
though
he
were
lame
in
his
feet
Cambden
Eliz.
13.
and
hands
,
yet
he
would
carry
a
Rapier
in
his
teeth
to
fight
his
Adversary
.
2.
Having
taken
a
Spanish
Gennet
designed
a
present
to
that
King
,
and
being
offered
either
1000l
.
or
100
l.
a
year
in
exchange
for
it
,
he
nobly
answered
,
If
it
had
been
a
Commander
,
he
would
have
freely
released
him
;
but
being
onely
a
Horse
,
he
saw
no
reason
be
could
not
keep
a
good
Horse
as
well
as
the
King
of
Spain
himself
.
Sir
Christopher
Hatton
was
to
an
excess
a
Courtier
,
and
my
Lord
Willoughby
so
a
Souldier
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Philip
Sidney
.
HE
was
Son
to
Sir
Henry
Sidney
Lord
Deputy
of
Ireland
,
and
President
of
Wales
.
A
Person
of
great
Parts
,
and
in
no
mean
grace
with
the
Queen
.
His
Mother
was
Sister
to
my
Lord
of
Leicester
,
from
whence
we
may
conjecture
,
how
the
Father
stood
up
in
the
place
of
Honor
and
Employment
;
so
that
his
Descent
was
apparently
Noble
on
both
sides
.
For
his
Education
,
it
was
such
as
Travel
and
the
University
could
afford
:
for
after
an
incredible
proficiency
in
all
the
Species
of
Learning
,
he
left
the
Academical
life
for
that
of
the
Court
,
whither
he
came
by
his
Uncles
invitation
,
famed
aforehand
by
a
Noble
report
of
his
Accomplishments
;
which
,
together
with
the
state
of
his
Person
,
framed
by
a
natural
propension
to
Arms
,
he
soon
attracted
the
good
opinion
of
all
men
;
and
was
so
highly
prized
in
the
good
opinion
of
the
Queen
,
that
she
thought
the
Court
deficient
without
him
:
and
whereas
(
through
the
fame
of
his
deserts
)
he
was
in
the
election
for
the
Kingdome
of
Poland
,
she
refused
to
further
his
advancement
,
not
out
of
Emulation
,
but
out
of
fear
to
loose
the
Jewel
of
her
times
.
He
married
the
Daughter
and
sole
Heir
of
Sir
Francis
Walsingham
,
then
Secretary
of
State
;
a
Lady
destinated
to
the
Bed
of
Honour
,
who
(
after
his
deplorable
death
at
Zutphen
in
the
Netherlands
,
where
he
was
Governour
of
Flushing
,
at
the
time
of
his
Uncles
being
there
)
was
married
to
my
Lord
of
Essex
,
and
since
his
death
to
my
Lord
of
St.
Albans
;
all
persons
of
the
Sword
,
and
otherwise
of
great
Honour
and
Vertue
.
He
had
an
equal
temperament
of
Mars
and
Mercury
,
Valour
and
Learning
,
to
as
high
a
pitch
as
Nature
and
Art
could
frame
,
and
Fortune
improve
him
:
so
Dexterous
,
that
he
seemed
born
for
every
thing
he
went
about
.
His
representations
of
Vertue
and
Vice
,
were
not
more
lively
in
his
Books
,
then
in
his
Life
:
his
●ancy
was
not
above
his
Vertue
:
his
Humours
,
Counsels
and
Actions
,
were
renowned
in
the
Romancer
,
Heroick
in
the
States
man
.
His
Soul
was
as
large
as
his
Parents
,
and
his
Complexion
as
Noble
;
an
equal
Line
of
both
;
the
modesty
of
the
Mother
allaying
the
activity
of
the
Father
.
A
man
so
sweetly
grave
,
so
familiarly
staid
,
so
prettily
serious
he
was
above
his
years
:
Wisdome
gained
by
travel
,
Experience
raised
from
Observations
,
solid
and
useful
Learning
drawn
from
knowing
Languet
his
three
years
Companion
,
and
choicest
Books
,
accomplished
him
for
the
love
of
all
,
and
the
reverence
of
most
.
His
Converse
was
not
more
close
at
home
,
then
his
Correspondence
abroad
;
equally
mixed
with
Policy
,
Pleasure
,
Wisdome
and
Love
:
his
Worth
being
penned
up
,
and
smothered
within
the
narrowness
of
his
fortune
,
sallied
not
out
to
discontent
,
but
pleasure
;
sweetning
the
Affairs
of
State
with
the
Debonnairness
of
the
Stage
;
his
Romance
being
but
Policy
played
with
Machiavil
in
jest
,
and
State-Maximes
sweetened
to
a
Courtiers
Palate
.
He
writ
men
as
exactly
as
he
studied
them
,
and
discerned
humours
in
the
Court
with
the
same
deep
insight
he
described
them
in
his
Book
.
His
Infant-discourses
teach
men
,
O
what
had
his
riper
years
done
!
He
put
Life
into
the
dead
Notions
of
Ancestors
,
made
Philosophy
practicable
;
joyned
the
Arts
as
closely
in
him
,
as
they
are
in
themselves
.
His
Book
is
below
his
Spirit
:
a
Spirit
to
be
confined
with
Kingdomes
,
rather
then
Studies
;
to
do
what
was
to
be
written
,
then
onely
to
write
what
was
to
be
done
.
All
eyes
were
upon
him
but
his
own
:
at
first
,
in
all
Affairs
he
was
the
last
;
at
last
,
he
was
the
first
:
obliging
all
men
that
ever
he
saw
,
and
seeing
all
that
were
worth
obliging
.
All
were
pleased
with
his
Arcadia
but
himself
,
whose
years
advanced
him
so
much
beyond
himself
,
as
his
Parts
did
beyond
others
:
He
condemned
his
Arcadia
in
his
more
retired
judgement
to
the
fire
,
which
wise
men
think
will
continue
to
the
last
Conflagration
.
His
private
Correspondence
with
William
of
Nassau
about
the
highest
Affairs
of
Europe
,
was
so
exact
and
prudent
,
that
he
assured
Sir
Fulke
Grevil
he
deserved
a
Kingdom
in
Forreign
Parts
,
though
he
had
not
an
Office
in
England
.
The
Earl
of
Leicester
held
his
Authority
in
the
Low-Countries
by
his
Counsel
when
alive
,
and
gave
it
over
when
he
was
dead
.
Sir
Francis
Walsingham
was
so
much
overshot
by
him
in
his
own
Bow
,
that
those
with
whom
Sir
Philip
were
acquainted
with
for
his
sake
,
were
his
friends
for
Sir
Philips
.
King
James
was
honoured
when
King
of
Scotland
with
his
friendship
,
Henry
the
fourth
with
his
correspondence
,
Don
Juan
highly
obliged
with
his
Visits
,
the
King
of
Spain
himself
concerned
in
his
death
,
whom
England
(
he
said
)
lost
in
a
moment
,
but
could
not
breed
in
an
Age.
The
Universities
were
proud
of
his
Patronage
,
the
Field
of
his
Presence
:
the
Studious
in
all
Parts
communicated
with
him
;
the
Hopeful
were
encouraged
by
him
;
all
excellent
Persons
thronged
to
him
;
all
serviceable
men
were
entertained
by
him
;
and
he
among
them
a
Prince
,
whose
minde
was
great
,
but
his
spirit
greater
.
He
taught
England
the
Majesty
of
Honest
Dealing
,
the
Interest
of
being
Religious
.
He
looked
deep
into
men
and
Counsels
,
and
found
no
Wisdom
without
Courage
,
no
Courage
without
Religion
and
Honesty
:
with
which
solid
and
active
reaches
of
his
,
I
am
perswaded
(
saith
my
Lord
Brooks
)
he
would
have
found
or
made
a
way
through
all
the
Traverses
even
of
the
most
weak
and
irregular
times
.
Although
a
private
Gentleman
,
he
was
a
publick
Good
;
of
a
large
,
yet
uniform
disposition
:
so
good
,
that
the
great
Monarch
might
trust
;
so
great
,
that
a
little
one
must
fear
him
:
something
he
did
for
Fame
,
most
for
Conscience
:
His
publick
spirit
,
which
might
have
enjealoused
the
cautious
wisdome
of
other
Princes
,
promoted
the
concerns
of
his
own
.
He
was
sent
to
complement
Rodalph
,
but
he
dealt
really
with
the
Protestant
Princes
,
and
raised
a
Ceremony
to
a
piece
of
Interest
.
He
shewed
that
long-breathed
and
cautious
people
,
that
imminent
danger
from
Romes
Superstition
,
joyned
with
Spains
Power
,
their
private
confederacies
and
practices
,
their
cruelty
and
designe
;
which
awaked
their
drowzie
wariness
into
an
association
for
Conscience
and
Religion
more
solid
,
as
he
demonstrated
,
then
a
Combination
out
of
Policy
.
He
went
against
the
stream
and
current
about
the
French
Match
,
which
he
disswaded
from
the
consequent
inconveniencies
of
Engagements
and
charge
to
England
,
and
the
little
advantage
from
France
;
backing
his
Argument
with
a
late
experience
;
and
so
staying
Queen
Elizabeths
Match
by
some
reflexions
on
Queen
Mary's
:
which
was
,
A
five
years
Designe
or
Tax
,
rather
then
a
Mrriage
:
adding
withal
,
That
in
a
Forreign
Match
,
besides
the
unequalness
and
danger
of
it
,
(
when
a
strange
Prince
hath
such
an
influence
on
our
Constitution
)
the
different
Religion
would
make
the
Queen
either
quit
the
reputation
of
a
good
Protestant
,
or
the
honour
of
an
obedient
Wife
.
Ten
ways
he
laid
down
a
Forreign
Prince
might
endanger
our
Religion
by
.
-
1.
Opposing
and
weakning
the
reverend
Fathers
of
our
Church
.
-
2.
By
disgracing
her
most
zealous
Ministers
.
-
3.
By
Latitude
and
Connivance
.
-
4.
By
a
loose
and
too
free
a
behaviour
,
steering
mens
Consciences
which
way
he
pleased
,
and
setting
up
indifferency
.
-
5.
By
decrying
Customes
and
Statutes
,
and
enhansing
Proclamations
to
the
Authority
of
Laws
.
-
6.
By
provoking
the
English
with
French
Oppressions
.
-
7.
By
entrenching
on
the
British
Liberties
with
Gallicane
Prerogatives
.
-
8.
By
breaking
our
League
and
Correspondence
with
other
Protestant
States
.
-
9.
Frighting
our
Queen
to
a
Complyance
.
-
10.
And
at
last
attempting
the
Protestant
cause
.
He
would
say
to
his
●●end
the
Lord
Brooke
,
That
if
the
Netherlands
joyn
with
France
,
they
are
terrible
to
Spain
:
if
with
Spain
,
they
are
dreadful
to
France
:
if
with
us
,
they
support
the
Reformation
:
if
they
stand
on
their
own
legs
,
they
are
too
strong
to
be
forced
to
Pyracy
.
He
,
though
a
private
person
,
opposed
her
Majesty
Queen
Elizabeth
in
that
Affair
,
with
that
sincerity
,
with
that
ingenuity
,
that
freedome
,
that
duty
and
peaceableness
,
that
angered
and
pleased
her
.
His
Opinion
was
not
more
against
her
humour
,
then
his
Manage
of
it
was
to
her
minde
:
in
which
Affair
,
when
most
were
hood-winked
with
ignorance
,
and
many
captived
with
fear
,
he
enjoyed
the
freedome
of
his
own
thoughts
with
dayly
access
to
her
Majesty
,
hourly
converse
with
the
French
,
and
constant
respect
from
the
people
.
None
more
dutiful
to
his
Soveraign
then
Sir
Philip
,
none
more
resolute
against
Eucroachers
upon
Gentlemen
and
Freemen
,
none
more
dear
to
the
whole
State
:
which
when
he
had
designed
Sir
Francis
Drake's
second
Voyage
,
and
stollen
to
him
at
Windsor
,
commanded
his
stay
by
an
Earl
,
and
for
his
sake
the
whole
Fleets
,
although
his
stay
disturbed
,
and
his
death
destroyed
his
most
exact
Model
for
the
Conquest
of
America
,
the
exactest
Europe
ever
saw
:
A
Conquest
not
to
be
enterprized
but
by
Sir
Philips
reaching
spirit
,
that
grasped
all
circumstances
,
and
commanded
all
interests
on
this
side
the
Line
.
When
his
great
Soul
could
not
improve
Europe
,
he
considered
it
;
and
made
that
the
Field
of
his
mediation
,
that
could
not
be
the
stage
of
his
Actions
.
England
he
saw
so
humoursome
and
populous
,
that
it
was
to
be
refined
with
War
,
and
corrupted
with
Peace
.
Her
interest
was
,
he
said
,
to
balance
Neighbor-Princes
.
France
he
observed
weak
and
effeminate
,
the
Empire
enslaved
and
secure
,
the
Hanses
too
big
,
Rome
subtle
and
undermining
,
Spain
crept
to
the
Power
and
Councils
of
Europe
,
the
Protestant
Princes
enjealoused
and
distrustful
,
Poland
divided
,
Denmark
strong
,
Sweden
invironed
or
imprisoned
,
the
Muscovite
distressed
and
ignorant
,
the
Switz
enemies
,
yet
servants
to
Monarchs
,
(
a
dangerous
body
for
the
soul
of
any
aspiring
Monarch
to
infuse
defignes
into
)
the
Princes
of
Italy
awed
by
their
Superiours
,
and
cautious
against
their
equals
;
Turkie
asleep
in
the
Seraglio
;
but
Spain
all
this
while
Master
of
Rome
,
and
the
wisest
Council
or
Conclave
in
the
Word
;
Lord
of
the
Mines
of
America
,
and
the
Sword
of
Europe
:
Concluding
,
that
while
the
Spaniard
had
Peace
,
Pope
Money
or
Credit
,
and
the
World
Men
,
Necessity
or
Humours
,
the
War
could
hardly
be
determined
upon
this
Low-Country-stage
:
And
that
there
were
but
two
ways
to
conquer
Spain
,
the
one
,
That
which
diverted
Hannibal
;
and
by
setting
fire
on
his
own
House
,
made
him
draw
his
spirits
to
comfort
his
heart
:
The
other
,
that
of
Jason
,
by
fetching
away
his
Golden
Fleece
,
and
not
suffering
any
one
quietly
to
enjoy
that
which
every
man
so
much
affected
.
The
assistance
of
Portugal
,
the
surprize
of
Cales
her
key
,
and
Sevi●
her
treasure
;
the
drawing
in
of
other
Well-willers
;
the
command
of
the
Sea
,
an
exact
Intelligence
;
the
Protection
of
Rochel
,
Brest
,
Bourdeaux
,
or
some
other
distressed
Protestant
,
to
balance
the
over-mytred
Countries
,
the
encouragement
of
religious
or
ambitious
Roytolets
to
advance
and
secure
themselves
,
the
engaging
of
the
French
and
Spaniards
,
a
League
with
Venice
and
the
Maritime
States
:
some
temptations
to
Italy
to
remove
their
French
and
Spanish
Garisons
,
an
opportunity
to
recover
Sicily
,
some
insinuations
to
the
Pope
of
the
Austrian
Greatness
,
the
setting
up
of
the
World
in

Aequilibrium
,
the
invasion
of
America
,
removing
the
diffidence
,
overpoyzing
the
Neutrality
,
and
working
upon
the
Complexions
of
Kings
and
Kingdomes
,
was
this
young
,
but
great
mans
designe
.
An
Expedition
to
the
Indies
he
would
perswade
with
these
motives
:
-
1.
That
Honour
was
cheaper
abroad
then
at
home
;
at
Sea
,
then
at
Land
.
-
2.
That
the
Spanish
Conquests
like
the
Jesuites
Miracles
,
made
more
noise
at
distance
then
nearer
hand
.
-
3.
That
the
Indians
would
joyn
with
the
first
Undertaker
against
their
cruel
Masters
.
-
4.
That
Spain
was
too
far
for
supply
.
-
5.
That
the
Spaniard
was
Undisciplined
,
and
trusted
more
to
the
Greatness
of
his
Name
,
then
to
Order
,
Policy
or
Strength
.
-
6.
That
England
was
populous
.
-
7.
That
it
was
an
Action
complyant
with
the
present
Humour
,
and
not
subject
to
Emulations
.
-
8.
That
it
would
either
cut
off
the
Spanish
treasure
,
or
make
it
chargeable
.
-
9.
And
at
last
set
up
a
Free
Trade
by
Sea
,
open
a
great
Door
to
Valour
or
Ambition
for
new
Conquests
,
and
to
Zeal
for
new
Converts
.
He
said
the
Inquisition
would
overthrow
Spain
,
being
a
designe
upon
Humane
Nature
,
and
freedome
;
to
govern
men
at
the
rate
of
beasts
.
His
great
Abilities
recommended
him
to
Leicester's
Cabinet
,
whose
Horse
he
commanded
in
the
Field
,
whose
Counsel
he
guided
at
home
.
Prudent
and
valiant
he
was
in
contriving
and
executing
the
surprize
of
Axil
:
Liberal
and
Noble
to
his
Souldiers
at
Flushing
;
wary
and
deep-sighted
in
his
Counsel
about
Graveline
;
wise
and
stayed
in
the
jealousies
between
Leicester
and
Hollock
.
His
Patience
and
Resolution
before
Zutphen
,
his
quiet
and
composed
spirit
at
Arneim
,
his
Christian
and
religious
comportment
in
his
sickness
and
death
,
made
his
Fame
as
lasting
as
his
Life
was
wished
.
And
why
died
he
lamented
by
the
Queen
,
mourned
for
by
the
Court
,
bemoaned
by
Europe
,
wept
over

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
John
Perrot
.
SIr
John
Perrot
was
a
goodly
Gentleman
,
and
of
the
Sword
:
and
as
he
was
of
a
very
ancient
descent
,
as
an
Heir
to
many
Exstracts
of
Gentry
,
especially
from
Guy
de
Bryan
of
Lawhern
;
so
was
he
of
a
vast
Estate
,
and
came
not
to
the
Court
for
want
.
And
to
these
Adjuncts
he
had
the
Endowments
of
Courage
,
and
heighth
of
Spirit
,
had
it
lighted
on
the
allay
of
temper
and
discretion
:
the
defect
whereof
,
with
a
native
freedome
and
boldness
of
speech
,
drew
him
into
a
Clouded
setting
,
and
laid
him
open
to
the
spleen
&
advantage
of
his
Enemies
.
He
was
yet
a
wise
man
,
and
a
brave
Courtier
,
but
rough
,
and
participating
more
of
active
then
sedentary
motions
,
as
being
in
his
Constellation
destinated
for
Arms.
He
was
sent
Lord-Deputy
into
Ireland
,
where
he
did
the
Queen
very
great
and
many
Services
:
Being
out
of
envy
accused
of
High
Treason
,
and
against
the
Queens
will
and
consent
condemned
,
he
died
suddenly
in
the
Tower
.
He
was
Englands
professed
Friend
,
and
Sir
Christopher
Hattons
professed
Enemy
:
He
fell
because
he
would
stand
alone
.
In
the
English
Court
at
that
time
he
that
held
not
by
Leicesters
and
Burleighs
favour
,
must
yeild
to
their
frowns
:
What
ground
he
gained
in
Forreign
Merits
,
(
as
the
Sea
)
he
lost
in
Domestick
Interests
.
The
most
deserving
Recesses
,
and
serviceable
absence
from
Courts
,
is
incompatible
with
the
way
of
interest
and
favour
.
His
boysterous
carriage
rather
removed
then
preferred
him
to
Ireland
,
where
he
was
to
his
cost
,
what
he
would
have
been
to
his
advantage
;
chief
in
Command
,
and
first
in
Council
.
His
spirit
was
too
great
to
be
ruled
,
and
his
Interest
too
little
to
sway
.
He
was
so
like
a
Son
of
Henry
the
[
](A48796-e58300-b)a
a
They
say
his
father
married
a
Familiar
of
King
Henry's
.
eighth
,
that
he
would
not
be
Queen
Elizabeths
subject
:
but
Hattons
sly
smoothness
undermined
his
open
roughness
;
the
one
dancing
at
Court
with
more
success
then
the
other
fought
in
Ireland
.
He
was
born
to
enjoy
,
rather
then
make
a
Fortune
;
and
to
command
,
rather
then
stoop
for
respect
.
Boldness
indeed
is
as
necessary
for
a
Souldier
,
as
Action
for
an
Orator
;
and
is
a
prevailing
quality
over
weak
men
at
all
times
,
and
wise
men
at
their
weak
times
:
yet
it
begins
well
,
but
continueth
not
;
closing
always
with
the
wiser
sorts
scorns
,
and
the
vulgars
laughter
.
Sir
John
Perrot
was
better
at
Counsel
then
Complement
,
and
better
at
Execution
then
Counsel
.
None
worse
to
command
first
on
his
own
head
,
none
better
to
be
second
,
and
under
the
direction
of
others
.
He
could
not
advise
,
because
he
looked
not
round
on
his
dangers
:
he
could
not
execute
,
because
he
saw
them
not
.
His
alliance
to
his
Soveraign
commended
him
at
first
to
her
favour
,
and
gave
him
up
at
last
to
her
jealousie
;
being
too
near
to
be
modest
,
and
too
bold
to
be
trusted
:
and
the
more
service
he
performed
,
he
was
thereby
onely
the
more
dangerous
,
and
withal
unhappy
;
his
Successes
onely
puffing
up
his
humor
,
and
his
Victories
ripening
his
ambition
to
those
fatal
Sallies
against
the
Queens
honour
and
Government
,
that
had
cost
him
his
life
,
had
he
not
saved
it
with
those
very
Rants
he
lost
himself
by
:
for
when
he
had
out
of
an
innocent
confidence
of
his
cause
,
and
a
haughty
conceit
of
his
Extraction
,
exasperated
his
Noble
Jury
to
his
Condemnation
,
he
had
no
more
to
say
for
himself
then
Gods
death
!
will
the
Queen
suffer
her
Brother
to
be
offered
up
as
a
sacrifice
to
the
envy
of
my
frisking
Adversaries
?
On
which
words
the
Queen
refused
to
signe
the
Warrant
for
his
Execution
,
though
pressed
to
it
from
Reason
and
Interest
,
saying
,
They
were
all
Knaves
that
condemned
him
.
It
's
observed
of
him
,
that
the
Surplusage
of
his
services
in
Ireland
abated
the
merit
of
them
;
and
that
it
was
his
oversight
to
have
done
too
much
there
.
His
mortal
words
were
those
in
the
great
Chamber
of
Dublin
,
when
the
Queen
sent
him
some
respectful
Letters
after
her
Expostulatory
ones
,
with
an
intimation
of
the
Spaniards
Designe
:
Lo
,
now
(
saith
he
)
she
is
ready
to
piss
her self
for
fear
of
the
Spaniard
;
I
am
again
one
of
her
white
Boys
.
A
great
Birth
and
a
great
Minde
are
crushed
in
Commonwealths
,
and
watched
in
Kingdomes
:
They
who
are
too
tall
to
stand
,
too
stubborn
to
bow
,
are
but
too
fit
to
break
.
Ruffling
Spirits
raise
themselves
at
the
settlement
of
Governments
,
but
fall
after
it
;
being
but
unruly
Waves
to
a
steady
Rock
,
breaking
themselves
on
that
solid
Constitution
they
would
break
.
Few
aimed
at
Favourites
as
Sir
John
did
at
the
Lord
Chancellor
,
but
their
Arrows
fell
on
their
own
heads
;
Soveraignty
being
always
struck
through
prime
Counsellours
,
and
Majesty
through
its
chief
Ministers
.
Sir
John
Perrot
no
sooner
clashed
with
Hatton
,
then
he
lost
the
Queen
;
and
ever
since
he
reflected
on
his
Dancing
,
he
lost
his
own
footing
,
and
never
stood
on
his
legs
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Francis
Walsingham
.
HE
was
a
Gentleman
(
at
first
)
of
a
good
house
,
but
of
a
better
Education
;
and
from
the
University
travelled
for
the
rest
of
his
Learning
.
He
was
the
best
Linguist
of
the
times
,
but
knew
best
how
to
use
his
own
tongue
,
whereby
he
came
to
be
employed
in
the
chiefest
Affairs
of
State
.
He
was
sent
Ambassadour
into
France
,
and
stayed
there
a
Leiger
long
,
in
the
heat
of
the
Civil
Wars
.
At
his
return
he
was
taken
Principal
Secretary
,
and
was
one
of
the
great
Engines
of
State
,
and
of
the
times
,
high
in
the
Queens
favour
,
and
a
watchful
servant
over
the
safety
of
his
Mistress
.
He
acted
the
same
part
in
the
Courts
of
France
about
that
Match
,
that
Gundamor
,
if
I
be
not
mistaken
,
(
saith
Sir
Robert
Naunton
)
did
in
the
Court
of
England
about
the
Spanish
.
His
apprehension
was
quick
,
and
his
Judgement
solid
:
his
Head
was
so
strong
,
that
he
could
look
into
the
depth
of
men
and
business
,
and
dive
into
the
Whirlpools
of
State
.
Dexterous
he
was
in
finding
a
secret
,
close
in
keeping
it
:
Much
he
had
got
by
Study
,
more
by
Travel
;
which
enlarged
and
actuated
his
thoughts
.
Cecil
bred
him
his
Agent
,
as
he
bred
hundreds
.
His
Converse
was
insinuating
and
reserved
:
He
saw
every
man
,
and
none
saw
him
.
His
Spirit
was
as
publick
as
his
Parts
;
and
it
was
his
first
Maxime
,
Knowledge
is
never
too
dear
:
yet
as
Debonnair
as
he
was
prudent
;
and
as
obliging
to
the
softer
,
but
predominant
parts
of
the
world
,
as
he
was
serviceable
to
the
more
severe
:
and
no
less
Dexterous
to
work
on
humours
,
then
to
convince
Reason
.
He
would
say
,
he
must
observe
the
joynts
and
flexures
of
Affairs
;
and
so
could
do
more
with
a
Story
,
then
others
could
with
a
Harangue
.
He
always
surprized
business
,
and
preferred
motions
in
the
heat
of
other
diversions
;
and
if
he
must
debate
it
,
he
would
hear
all
;
and
with
the
advantage
of
aforegoing
speeches
,
that
either
cautioned
or
confirmed
his
resolutions
,
he
carried
all
before
him
in
conclusion
beyond
reply
.
He
out-did
the
Jesuites
in
their
own
bowe
,
and
over-reached
them
in
their
own
equivocation
,
and
mental
reservation
;
never
telling
a
Lye
,
but
warily
drawing
out
and
discovering
truth
.
As
the
close
Room
sucketh
in
most
Air
,
so
this
wary
man
got
most
intelligence
,
being
most
of
our
Papists
Confessour
before
their
death
,
as
they
had
been
their
Brethrens
before
their
treason
.
He
said
what
another
writ
,
That
an
habit
of
secrecy
is
policy
and
vertue
.
To
him
mens
faces
spake
as
much
as
their
tongues
,
and
their
countenances
were
Indexes
of
their
hearts
.
He
would
so
beset
men
with
Questions
,
and
draw
them
on
,
&
pick
it
out
of
them
by
piece-meals
,
that
they
discovered
themselves
whether
they
answered
or
were
silent
.
This
Spanish
Proverb
was
familiar
with
him
,
Tell
a
Lye
,
and
finde
a
Truth
;
and
this
,
Speak
no
more
then
you
may
safely
retreat
from
without
danger
,
or
fairly
go
through
with
without
opposition
.
Some
are
good
onely
at
some
affairs
in
their
own
acquaintance
;
Walsingham
was
ready
every
where
,
and
could
make
a
party
in
Rome
as
well
as
England
.
He
waited
on
mens
souls
with
his
eye
,
discerning
their
secret
hearts
through
their
transparent
faces
.
He
served
himself
of
the
Factions
as
his
Mistress
did
,
neither
advancing
the
one
,
nor
depressing
the
other
:
Familiar
with
Cecil
,
allied
to
Leicester
,
and
an
Oracle
to
Sussex
.
He
could
overthrow
any
matter
by
undertaking
it
,
and
move
it
so
as
it
must
fall
.
He
never
broke
any
business
,
yet
carried
many
:
He
could
discourse
any
matter
with
them
that
most
opposed
;
so
that
they
in
oppofing
it
,
promoted
it
.
His
fetches
and
compass
to
his
designed
speech
,
were
things
of
great
patience
and
use
.
Twice
did
he
deceive
the
French
as
Agent
,
once
did
he
settle
the
Netherlands
as
Commissioner
,
and
twice
did
he
alter
the
Government
of
Scotland
as
Embassadour
.
Once
did
France
desire
he
might
be
recalled
,
because
he
was
too
hard
for
the
Counsel
for
the
Hugonots
;
and
once
did
Scotland
request
his
remand
,
because
he
would
have
overturned
their
Constitution
:
53
Agents
did
he
maintain
in
Forreign
Courts
,
and
18
Spies
:
for
two
Pistols
an
Order
,
he
had
all
the
private
Papers
of
Europe
:
few
Letters
escaped
his
hands
,
whose
Contents
he
could
read
and
not
touch
the
Seals
.
Bellarmine
read
his
Lectures
at
Rome
one
moneth
,
and
Reynolds
had
them
confuted
the
next
.
So
patient
was
this
wise
man
,
Chiselhurst
never
saw
him
angry
,
Cambridge
never
passionate
,
and
the
Court
never
discomposed
.
Religion
was
the
interest
of
his
Country
,
(
in
his
judgement
)
and
of
his
Soul
;
therefore
he
maintained
it
as
sincerely
as
he
lived
it
:
it
had
his
head
,
his
purse
,
and
his
heart
.
He
laid
the
great
foundation
of
the
Protestant
Constitution
as
to
its
policy
,
and
the
main
plot
against
the
Popish
as
to
its
ruine
.
He
would
cherish
a
plot
some
years
together
,
admitting
the
Conspirators
to
his
own
and
the
Queens
presence
familiarly
,
but
dogging
them
out
watchfully
:
his
Spies
waited
on
some
men
every
hour
,
for
three
years
;
and
lest
they
could
not
keep
counsel
,
he
dispatched
them
to
forraign
parts
,
taking
in
new
Servants
.
His
training
of
Parry
who
designed
the
murder
of
Queen
Elizabeth
,
the
admitting
of
him
under
the
pretence
of
discovering
a
Plot
to
the
Queens
presence
,
and
then
letting
him
go
where
he
would
,
onely
on
the
security
of
a
Dark
Sentinel
set
over
him
,
was
a
piece
of
reach
and
hazard
beyond
common
apprehension
.
But
Kingdomes
were
acted
by
him
,
as
well
as
private
persons
.
It
is
a
likely
report
(
saith
one
)
that
they
father
on
him
at
his
return
from
France
,
when
the
Queen
expressed
her
fear
of
the
Spanish
designe
on
that
Kingdome
with
some
concernment
,
Madam
,
(
said
he
)
be
content
not
to
fear
;
the
Spaniard
hath
a
great
appetite
,
and
an
excellent
digestion
:
but
I
have
fitted
him
with
a
bone
for
this
twenty
years
,
that
your
Majesty
shall
have
no
cause
to
doubt
him
:
Provided
that
if
the
fire
chance
to
slack
which
I
have
kindled
,
you
will
be
ruled
by
me
,
and
now
and
then
cast
in
some
English
●uel
which
may
revive
the
flame
.
He

observed
the
great
Bishop
of
Winchester
fit
to
serve
the
Church
,
upon
the
unlikely
Youths
first
Sermon
at
St.
Al●allows
Barking
:
He
brought
my
Lord
Cooke
first
to
the
Church
upon
some
private
discourse
with
him
at
his
Table
.
The
Queen
of
Scots
Letters
were
all
carried
to
him
by
her
own
Servant
,
whom
she
trusted
,
and
decyphered
to
him
by
one
Philips
,
as
they
were
sealed
again
by
one
Gregory
,
so
that
neither
that
Queen
or
her
correspondents
ever
perceived
either
the
Seal
defaced
,
or
the
Letters
delayed
to
her
dying
day

In

;
so
publick-spirited
,
that
he

Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Earl
of
Leicester
.
THe
Lord
Leicester
was
the
youngest
son
then
living
of
Dudley
Duke
of
Northumberland
:
he
was
also
one
of
the
first
to
whom
Queen
Elizabeth
gave
that
honour
to
be
Master
of
the
Horse
.
He
was
a
very
goodly
person
,
and
singular
well
featured
,
and
all
his
youth
well
favoured
,
and
of
a
sweet
aspect
,
but
high
foreheaded
,
which
was
taken
to
be
of
no
discommendation
:
but
towards
his
latter
end
grew
high-coloured
and
red-faced
.
The
Queen
made
him
Earl
of
Leicester
for
the
sufferings
of
his
Ancestors
sake
,
both
in
her
Fathers
and
Sisters
Reigns
.
The
Earl
of
Essex
his
death
in
Ireland
,
and
the
marriage
of
his
Lady
yet
living
,
deeply
stains
his
commendation
.
But
in
the
Observations
of
his
Letters
and
Writings
,
there
was
not
known
a
Stile
or
Phrase
more
religious
,
and
fuller
of
the
streams
of
Devotion
.
He
was
sent
Governour
by
the
Queen
to
the
United
States
of
Holland
,
where
we
read
not
of
his
wonders
;
for
they
say
,
Mercury
,
not
Mars
,
in
him
had
the
predominancy
.
To
the
Policy
he
had
from
Northumberland
his
Father
,
and
the
Publican
Dudley
his
Grandfather
,
he
added
,
they
say
,
Magick
and
Astrology
;
and
to
his
converse
with
Wise
men
,
his
familiarity
with
Wizards
.
Indeed
he
would
say
.
A
States-man
should
be
ignorant
of
nothing
,
but
should
have
all
notices
either
within
his
own
or
his
Confidents
command
.
His
Brother
Ambrose
was
the
Heir
to
the
Estate
,
and
he
to
the
Wisdome
of
that
Family
.
He
was
the
most
reserved
man
of
that
Age
,
that
saw
all
,
and
was
invisible
;
carrying
a
depth
not
to
be
fathomed
but
by
the
Searcher
of
Hearts
.
Many
fell
in
his
time
,
who
saw
not
the
hand
that
pulled
them
down
;
and
as
many
died
that
knew
not
their
own
Disease
.
He
trusted
not
his
Familiars
above
a
twelve-month
together
,
but
either
transported
them
for
Forreign
services
,
or
wasted
them
to
another
world
.
His
Ambition
was
of
a
large
extent
,
and
his
Head-piece
of
a
larger
.
Great
was
his
Influence
on
England
,
greater
on
Scotland
,
and
greatest
of
all
on
Ireland
and
the
Netherlands
;
where
this
close
Genius
acted
invisibly
,
beyond
the
reach
of
friends
,
or
the
apprehension
of
enemies
.
Declining
an
immediate
opposition
in
Court-factions
,
the
wary
Sir
raised
always
young
Favourites
to
outshine
the
old
ones
:
so
balancing
all
others
that
he
might
be
Paramount
himself
.
The
modern
policy
and
practices
were
but
shallow
to
his
;
who
by
promoting
the
Queens
Match
,
could
hinder
it
;
who
could
decoy
Hunsdon
to
Berwick
,
Pembroke
to
Wales
,
Sidney
to
Ireland
;
while
what
with
his
great
Train
,
what
with
his
growing
Popularity
,
he
was
called
the
Heart
of
the
Court.
To
make
his
Basis
equal
to
his
Heighth
,
he
enlarged
and
strengthened
his
Interest
by
Alliance
with
the
chief
Nobility
,
to
whom
he
was
related
.
By
his
Patronage
of
Learning
,
over
which
he
was
Chancellour
;
by
kindness
to
the
Clergy
,
whose
Head
he
seemed
to
be
;
by
his
command
over
all
men
,
whom
either
his
favours
had
won
,
or
his
frowns
awed
;
everybody
being
either
within
the
Obligation
of
his
Courtesies
,
or
the
reach
of
his
Injuries
.
He
advised
some
complyance
with
Philip
of
Spain
for
the
Match
he
proposed
;
while
by
degrees
he
altered
Religion
so
,
as
it
must
be
impossible
;
designing
Queen
Elizabeth
for
his
own
Bed
,
while
she
made
his
way
to
the
Queen
of
Scots
:
whose
refusal
of
him
he
made
as
fatal
to
her
,
as
his
Marriage
would
have
been
advantageous
;
(
The
Queen
of
England
promising
to
declare
her
next
Heir
to
the
Crown
of
England
,
in
case
she
failed
of
Issue
,
upon
that
Match
.
)
Leicester
trepans
Norfolk
to
treat
a
Match
with
the
Scotch
Queen
;
and
her
to
accept
it
,
to
both
their
ruine
:
both
being
engaged
in
such
foolish
Enterprizes
by
their
enemies
practices
,
as
made
Leicester
able
in
the
head
of
a
new
Association
in
the
Queens
defence
,
to
take
off
Norfolk
and
his
Ladies
head
.
He
was
always
before-hand
with
his
Designes
,
being
a
declared
enemy
to
After-games
.
His
Interest
was
Popery
,
until
my
Lord
North
put
him
upon
Puritanism
,
but
his
Religion
neither
:
He
promoted
the
French
and
Polish
Match
at
Court
,
and
disparaged
them
in
the
Country
.
When
Cardinal
Chatillian
advertized
her
Majesty
how
Leicester
drave
Royal
Suiters
from
her
Court
,
he
was
sent
to
another
World
.
He
that
would
not
hold
by
his
favour
,
must
fall
by
his
frown
;
Arch-bishop
Grindal
not
excepted
.
His
hand
bestowed
all
favours
,
and
his
brows
all
frowns
:
the
whole
Court
was
at
his
Devotion
,
and
half
the
Council
at
his
beck
.
Her
Majesty
suspected
,
but
durst
not
remove
him
.
His
Intelligence
was
good
in
Scotland
,
better
in
Ireland
,
best
in
Spain
.
The
Country
was
governed
by
his
Allies
,
and
the
Court
by
himself
.
The
Tower
was
in
his
servants
hands
,
London
under
his
Creatures
Government
,
and
the
Law
managed
by
his
Confidents
.
His
treasure
was
vast
,
his
gains
unaccountable
,
all
passages
to
preferment
being
in
his
hand
at
home
and
abroad
.
He
was
never
reconciled
to
her
Majesty
under
5000
l.
nor
to
any
Subject
under
500
l.
and
was
ever
and
anon
out
with
both
.
All
Monopolies
are
his
,
who
commanded
most
mens
Purses
,
and
all
mens
Parts
.
A
man
was
oppressed
if
he
complyed
with
him
,
and
undone
if
he
opposed
him
.
In
a
word
,
his
designe
was
thought
a
Crown
,
his
Parts
too
large
for
a
Subject
,
his
Interest
too
great
for
a
Servant
,
his
depth
not
fathomable
in
those
days
,
and
his
Policy
not
reached
in
these
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Lord
Hatton
.
SIr
Christopher
H●tton
was
a
Gentleman
,
who
for
his
activity
and
Person
was
taken
into
the
Queens
favour
.
He
was
first
made
Vice-Chamberlain
,
and
shortly
after
advanced
to
the
place
of
Lord
Chancellour
:
A
Gentleman
,
that
besides
the
Graces
of
his
Person
,
and
Dancing
,
had
also
the
Adjectments
of
a
strong
and
subtile
capacity
:
one
that
could
soon
learn
the
Discipline
and
Garb
both
of
Times
and
Court
.
The
truth
is
,
he
had
a
large
proportion
of
Gifts
and
Endowments
,
but
too
much
of
the
season
of
Envy
.
As
he
came
,
so
he
continued
in
the
Court
in
a
Mask
.
An
honest
man
he
was
,
but
reserved
.
Sir
John
Perrot
talked
,
and
Sir
Christopher
Hatton
thought
.
His
features
set
off
his
body
,
his
gate
his
features
,
his
carriage
his
gate
,
his
parts
his
carriage
,
his
prudence
his
parts
,
and
his
close
patience
his
prudence
.
The
Queen
loved
him
well
for
his
activity
,
better
for
his
parts
,
best
of
all
for
his
abilities
,
which
were
as
much
above
his
experience
,
as
that
was
above
his
learning
,
and
that
above
his
education
.
The
little
the
wary
man
did
,
was
so
exactly
just
and
discreet
;
and
the
little
he
said
,
was
so
prudent
and
weighty
,
that
he
was
chosen
to
keep
the
Queens
Conscience
as
her
Chancellour
,
and
to
express
her
sense
as
her
Speaker
:
the
Courtiers
that
envyed
the
last
capacity
,
were
by
his
power
forced
to
confess
their
errours
;
and
the
Sergeants
that
would
not
plead
before
him
in
the
first
,
by
his
prudence
to
confess
his
abilities
.
The
Chancellourship
was
above
his
Law
,
but
not
his
Parts
;
so
pregnant
and
comprehensive
,
that
he
could
command
other
mens
knowledge
to
as
good
purpose
as
his
own
.
Such
his
humility
,
that
he
did
nothing
without
two
Lawyers
:
such
his
ability
,
that
the
Queen
did
nothing
without
him
.
Two
things
he
said
he
was
jealous
of
,
His
Mistresses
the
Queens
Prerogatives
,
and
his
Mother
the
Churches
Discipline
:
the
one
,
that
Majesty
might
be
at
liberty
to
do
as
much
good
;
and
the
other
,
that
Iniquity
might
not
be
free
to
as
much
evil
as
it
pleased
.
His
enemies
advanced
him
,
that
they
might
weaken
him
at
Court
by
his
absence
,
and
kill
him
at
home
by
a
sedentariness
.
This
even
and
clear
man
observed
and
improved
their
practices
,
closing
with
Malice
it self
to
his
own
advancement
,
and
tempering
the
most
perverse
enmity
to
the
greatest
kindness
.
None
Nobler
,
none
less
aspiring
:
none
more
busie
,
yet
none
more
punctual
in
his
hours
and
orders
.
Corpulent
he
was
,
but
temperate
;
a
Batchelor
,
(
and
the
onely
one
of
the
Queens
Favourites
)
yet
chaste
:
quick
were
his
Dispatches
,
but
weighty
;
many
his
Orders
,
and
consistent
:
numerous
were
the
Addresses
to
him
,
and
easie
the
access
.
Seldome
were
his
Orders
reversed
in
Chancery
,
and
seldomer
his
Advice
opposed
in
Council
.
So
just
he
was
,
that
his
sentence
was
Law
with
the
Subject
;
so
wise
,
that
his
Opinion
was
Oracle
with
his
Soveraign
:
so
exact
was
Queen
Elizabeth
,
that
she
called
upon
him
for
an
old
debt
,
though
it
broke
his
heart
;
so
loving
,
that
she
carried
him
a
Cordial-broath
with
her
own
hand
,
though
it
could
not
revive
him
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Lord
Hunsdon
.
THe
Lord
Hunsdon
was
of
the
Queens
nearest
Kindred
;
and
on
the
decease
of
Sussex
,
both
he
and
his
Son
took
the
place
of
Lord
Chamberlain
.
He
was
a
fast
man
to
his
Prince
,
and
firm
to
his
friends
and
servants
,
downright
,
honest
,
and
stout-hearted
,
having
the
charge
of
the
Queens
Person
both
in
the
Court
,
and
in
the
Camp
at
Tilbury
.
The
integrity
of
his
temper
allayed
the
greatness
of
his
birth
;
which
had
rendred
him
dangerous
,
if
the
other
had
not
vouched
him
faithful
.
He
spoke
big
,
but
honestly
;
and
was
thought
rather
resolute
then
ambitious
.
His
words
were
as
his
thoughts
,
and
his
actions
as
his
words
.
He
had
Valour
enough
to
be
an
eminent
Souldier
in
ruffling
times
,
and
a
renownedly
honest
man
in
Queen
Elizabeths
Reign
.
His
Latine
,
faith
Sir
Robert
Naunton
,
and
his
dissimulation
,
were
both
alike
.
His
custome
of
swearing
,
and
obscenity
in
speaking
,
made
him
seem
a
worse
Christian
then
he
was
,
and
a
better
Knight
of
the
Carpet
then
he
should
be
.
The
Polititians
followed
Cecil
,
the
Courtiers
Leicester
,
and
the
Souldiers
Hunsdon
,
whose
hands
were
better
then
his
head
,
and
his
heart
then
both
.
He
led
so
brave
a
Train
of
young
Gallants
,
as
after
another
threatned
a
Court
,
but
after
him
secured
it
;
whose
Greatness
was
not
his
Mistresse
jealousie
,
but
her
safeguard
.
One
of
his
blunt
Jests
went
further
then
others
affected
Harangues
;
the
one
being
Nature
,
the
other
forced
.
His
faithfulness
made
him
Governour
of
Berwick
;
a
place
of
great
service
:
and
General
of
the
English
Army
;
a
place
of
great
Trust
.
He
had
something
of
Leicesters
Choler
,
but
none
of
his
Malice
.
A
right
Noble
Spirit
,
not
so
stupid
as
not
to
resent
,
not
so
unworthy
as
to
retain
a
sense
of
Injuries
.
To
have
the
Courage
to
observe
an
Affront
,
is
to
be
even
with
an
Adversary
:
to
have
the
patience
to
forgive
it
,
is
to
be
above
him
.
There
goeth
a
story
of
him
,
that
when
his
Retinue
,
which
in
those
times
was
large
,
would
have
drawn
on
a
Gentleman
that
had
returned
him
a
box
on
the
ear
,
he
forbad
them
in
these
Souldier-like
words
:
You
Rogues
,
cannot
my
Neighbour
and
my self
exchange
a
box
on
the
ear
,
but
you
must
interpose
?
He
might
have
been
what
he
would
,
for
relieving
Queen
Elizabeth
in
her
distress
:
he
would
be
but
what
he
was
:
Other
Interests
were
offered
him
to
stand
upon
;
he
was
contented
with
his
own
.
He
suppressed
the
Court-Factions
,
and
the
Nothern
Commotions
;
the
one
by
his
Interest
,
the
other
by
his
Valour
:
for
the
one
,
he
had
always
the
Queens
Heart
;
for
the
other
,
he
had
once
a
most
Gracious
Letter
.
His
Court-favour
was
as
lasting
as
his
Integrity
See
Fuller
in
his
Worthies
.
One
hath
left
this
remarque
concerning
him
:
That
he
should
have
been
twice
Earl
of
Wilishire
in
right
of
his
Mother
Bollen
.
And
the
Queen
,
when
he
was
on
his
Death-bed
,
ordered
his
Patent
and
Robes
to
his
bed-side
:
where
he
who
could
dissemble
neither
well
nor
ill
,
told
the
Queen
,
That
if
he
was
not
worthy
of
those
Honours
when
living
,
he
was
unworthy
of
them
when
dying
.
In
a
word
,
Sir
William
Cecil
was
a
wise
man
;
Bacon
was
reaching
,
Leicester
cunning
;
Walsingham
was
a
Patriot
,
and
my
Lord
Hunsd●n
was
honest
.

Life

Nicholas
Heath
,
Archbishop
of
York
,
and
Lord
Chancellour
of
England
.
AT
once
a
most
wise
and
a
most
learned
man
,
of
great
Policy
,
and
of
as
great
Integrity
;
meek
and
resolute
:
more
devout
to
follow
his
own
Conscience
,
then
cruel
to
persecute
others
.
It
is
enough
to
intimate
his
moderate
temper
,
equal
,
and
dis-engaged
from
violent
extreams
;
that
the
first
of
Queen
Elizabeth
,
in
the
Disputation
between
the
Papists
and
Protestants
,
he
was
chosen
by
the
Privy-Council
one
of
the
Moderators
,
when
Sir
Nicholas
Bacon
was
the
other
.
The
Civility
he
shewed
in
Prosperity
,
he
found
in
Adversity
:
for
in
Queen
Elizabeths
time
he
was
rather
eased
,
then
deposed
,
[
like
another
Abiathar
,
sent
home
by
Solomon
to
his
own
fields
in
Anathoth
]
living
cheerfully
at
Cobbam
in
Surry
,
where
he
devoted
his
Old
Age
to
Religion
and
Study
,
being
much
comforted
with
the
Queens
Visits
and
kindness
,
and
more
with
his
own
good
conscience
;
that
(
as
he
would
often
say
)
he
had
been
so
intent
upon
the
service
,
as
never
to
enjoy
the
greatness
of
any
place
he
was
advanced
to
.
Sir
Henry
Wotton
being
bound
for
Rome
,
asked
his
Host
at
Siena
,
a
man
well
versed
in
men
and
bufiness
,
What
Rules
he
would
give
him
for
his
Port
,
Conduct
and
Carriage
?
There
is
one
short
remembrance
(
said
he
)
will
carry
you
safe
through
the
world
;
nothing
but
this
,
(
said
he
)
Gli
Pensiere
stretti
,
&
el
viso
Sciolto
:
(
i.
e.
)
Your
Thoughts
close
,
and
your
Countenance
loose
.
The
Character
of
this
Prelate
,
a
man
of
a
calm
and
reserved
minde
,
but
of
a
gravely
obliging
carriage
:
wise
and
wary
;
and
that
a
solid
wisdome
rather
then
a
formal
;
well
seasoned
with
practice
,
and
well
broken
to
Affairs
:
of
a
fine
Composition
,
between
Frugality
and
Magnificence
:
A
great
Cherisher
of
Manual
Arts
,
especially
such
as
tended
to
splendour
or
ornament
;
entertaining
the
most
exquisite
Artists
with
a
setled
Pension
.
Equally
divided
he
was
between
the
Priest
and
the
States-man
;
Great
with
his
double
Power
,
Ecclesiastical
and
Civil
:
by
Nature
more
reserved
then
popular
,
with
Vertues
fitter
to
beget
estimation
then
love
.
In
his
Chancellourship
he
was
served
with
able
followers
,
rather
by
choice
then
number
,
and
with
more
neatness
and
service
then
noise
.
As
Midland
Countries
in
busie
times
are
most
secure
,
as
being
farthest
,
and
most
participating
of
the
common
Interest
:
so
your
moderate
and
middle
men
in
troublesome
and
perplexed
times
,
are
most
quiet
,
as
least
concerned
in
the
respective
Controversies
,
and
most
intent
upon
the
common
good
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
William
Pickering
.
HIs
Extraction
was
not
noble
,
his
Estate
but
mean
;
yet
was
his
Person
so
comely
,
his
Carriage
so
elegant
,
his
Life
so
gravely
reserved
and
studious
,
and
his
Embassies
in
France
and
Germany
so
well
managed
,
that
in
King
Edwards
days
he
was
by
the
Council
pitched
upon
as
the
Oracle
,
whereby
our
Agents
were
to
be
guided
abroad
;
and
in
Queen
Elizabeths
,
designed
by
common
vote
for
the
Prince
by
whom
we
were
to
be
governed
at
home
.
He
received
extraordinary
favours
,
no
doubt
,
so
deserving
he
was
:
he
was
wished
to
more
,
he
was
so
popular
:
and
when
his
service
was
admitted
to
her
Majesties
besome
,
all
fancies
but
his
own
placed
his
person
in
her
Bed
.
And
I
find
him
a
Prince
in
this
,
That
retiring
from
those
busie
Buslings
in
the
State
,
wherein
he
might
be
matched
or
out-done
,
he
devoted
his
large
Soul
to
those
more
sublime
and
noble
researches
in
his
Study
,
wherein
he
sate
Monarch
of
Hearts
and
Letters
.
Anxious
Posterity
no
doubt
enquires
what
great
Endowments
could
raise
so
private
a
man
to
such
publick
honour
and
expectation
;
and
it
must
imagine
him
one
redeemed
by
the
Politure
of
good
Education
,
from
his
younger
vanities
and
simplicities
,
his
Rustick
ignorance
,
his
Clownish
confidence
,
his
Bruitish
dulness
,
his
Country
solitude
,
his
earthly
ploddings
,
his
Beggerly
indigencies
,
or
covetous
necessities
;
racked
and
refined
from
the
Lees
of
sensual
and
inordinate
lust
,
from
swelling
and
surely
pride
,
from
base
and
mean
designes
,
from
immoderate
affections
,
violent
passions
,
unreasonable
impulses
,
and
depraved
aspects
;
of
a
strong
and
handsome
body
,
a
large
and
publick
Soul
,
of
a
gentle
and
patient
access
,
of
benign
and
just
resentments
,
a
grand
awful
presence
.
This
is
he
that

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Cuthbert
Tonstal
,
Bishop
of
Durham
.
A
Man
passing
well
seen
in
all
kind
of
polished
Literature
;
who
having
run
through
many
degrees
of
honour
at
home
,
and
worthily
performed
several
Embassies
abroad
,
was
very
hot
against
the
Popes
Primacy
in
his
young
days
,
very
moderate
for
it
in
his
middle
years
,
and
very
zealous
in
his
old
age
:
like
the
waters
in
Curtius
,
that
are
hot
at
midnight
,
warm
in
the
morning
,
and
cold
at
noon
.
In
the
Reign
of
Queen
Mary
he
spake
more
harshly
against
the
Protestants
,
(
calling
Bishop
Hooper
Beast
for
being
married
)
then
he
acted
,
being
politickly
presumed
to
bark
the
more
,
that
he
might
bite
the
less
;
and
observed
to
threaten
much
in
London
,
and
do
little
in
his
own
Diocess
:
for
I
meet
(
saith
my
Author
)
with
a
Marginal
Note
in
Mr.
●oxe
,
which
indeed
justly
deserved
even
in
the
Vol.
3.

.
fairest
letters
to
be
inserted
in
the
body
of
his
Book
:
Note
,
that
Bishop
Tonstal
in
Queen
Mary
'
s
days
was
no
great
bloody
Persecutor
:
for
Mr.
Russel
a
Preacher
was
before
him
,
and
Dr.
Hinmer
his
Chancellor
would
have
had
him
examined
more
particularly
:
the
Bishop
staid
him
,
saying
,
Hitherto
we
have
had
a
good
report
among
our
Neighbours
;
I
pray
you
bring
not
this
mans
blood
upon
my
head
.
When
the
more
violent
Bishops
were
confined
to
close
prisons
,
primo
Elizabetha
,
he
lived
in
Free
Custody
at
my
Lord
of
Canterbury's
,
in
sweet
Chambers
,
warm
Beds
,
by
warm
Fires
,
with
plentiful
and
wholesome
Diet
at
the
Archbishops
own
Table
:
differing
nothing
from
his
former
Grandeur
,
save
that
that
was
at
his
own
charges
,
and
this
at
anothers
;
and
that
he
had
not
his
former
suit
of
superfluous
Servants
,
that
long
Train
that
doth
not
warm
but
weary
the
Wearer
thereof
.
In
a
word
,
his
custody
did
not
so
much
sowre
his
freedome
,
as
his
freedome
sweetned
his
custody
;
where
his
Soul
was
most
free
,
using
not
once
those
Oracles
of
Seneca
,
That
the
good
things
of
Prosperity
are
to
be
wished
,
and
the
good
things
of
Adversity
to
be
admired
.
It
's
true
Greatness
to
have
at
once
the
frailty
of
a
man
,
and
the
security
of
a
god
.
Prosperity
(
saith
my
Lord
Bacon
)
is
the
blessing
of
the
Old
Testament
,
and
Adversity
of
the
new
:
the
first
wants
not
its
fears
and
distastes
,
therein
therefore
our
Prelate
was
temperate
;
nor
the
second
its
comforts
and
hopes
,
and
therein
he
was
resolved
:
in
the
one
(
—
virtus
vel
in
hoste
)
he
was
not
vicious
,
under
the
other
he
was
vertuous
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Francis
Talbot
,
Earl
of
Shrewsbury
.
NObility
without
Vertue
is
a
disgrace
,
Vertue
without
Nobility
low
;
but
Nobility
adorned
with
Vertue
,
and
Vertue
embellished
by
Nobility
,
raiseth
a
man
high
as
Nature
reacheth
:
and
he
in
whom
these
two
concur
,
hath
all
the
glory
a
man
can
attain
unto
,
viz.
both
an
Inclination
and
a
Power
to
do
well
.
This
is
the
man
whose
Greatness
was
but
the
servant
to
his
Goodness
,
and
whose
Honour
the
Instrument
of
his
Vertue
;
who
was
reverenced
like
the
Heavens
he
bore
,
for
his
Beneficence
,
as
well
as
for
his
Glory
.
He
saw
four
troublesome
Reigns
,
but
not
troubled
himself
,
as
one
that
was
so
espoused
to
the
common
and
grand
Concerns
of
Man-kinde
,
as
to
be
uninterested
in
the
particular
and
petty
Designe
of
any
party
of
it
.
He
had
friends
(
and
none
more
sure
to
them
,
or
more
devoted
to
that
sacred
thing
called
Friendship
)
to
ease
his
heart
to
,
to
support
his
judgement
by
,
to
reform
,
or
at
least
observe
his
defect
in
,
to
compose
his
mind
with
;
but
none
to
countenance
in
a
Faction
,
or
side
with
in
a
quarrel
:
Vsefulness
is
a
Bond
that
tieth
great
and
good
men
,
and
not
respects
.
How

our
Land
among
our
Native
Nobility
some
two
hundred
years

King
Henry

too
plainly

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Thomas
Challoner
.
THis
Gentlemans
birth
in
London
made
him
quick
,
his
Education
in
Cambridge
knowing
,
and
his
travail
abroad
expert
.
In
Henry
the
eighth's
time
he
served
Charles
the
fifth
in
the
expedition
of
Algier
:
where
being
ship-wracked
,
after
he
had
swum
till
his
strength
and
arms
failed
him
,
at
the
length
catching
hold
of
a
Cable
with
his
teeth
,
he
escaped
,
not
without
the
loss
of
some
of
his
teeth
.
(
We
are
consecrated
by
dangers
to
services
;
and
we
know
not
what
we
can
do
,
until
we
have
seen
all
we
can
fear
.
)
In
Edward
the
sixth's
Reign
,
he
behaved
himself
so
manly
at
Muscleborough
,
that
the
Protector
honoured
him
with
a
Knighthood
,
and
his
Lady
with
a
Jewel
;
the
delicate
and
valiant
man
at
once
pleasing
Mars
and
his
Venus
too
.
The
first
week
of
Queen
Elizabeths
Reign
,
he
is
designed
an
Embassadour
of
Honour
to
the
Emperour
;
such
his
port
and
carriage
!
and
the
second
year
,
her
Leiger
for
business
in
Spain
;
such
his
trust
and
abilities
!
The
first
he
performed
not
with
more
Gallantry
,
then
he
did
the
second
with
Policy
;
bearing
up
King
Philips
expectation
of
the
Match
with
England
for
three
years
effectually
,
until
he
had
done
the
Queens
business
abroad
,
and
she
had
done
her
own
at
home
.
In
Spain
he
equally
divided
his
time
between
the
Scholar
and
the
States-man
,
his
recreation
and
his
business
:
for
he
refreshed
his
more
careful
time
with
a
pure
and
learned
Verse
,
de
rep.
Anglorum
instauranda
,
in
five
Books
,
whilst
as
he
writes
in
the
Preface
to
that
Book
,
he
lived
Hieme
in
furno
,
aestate
in
Horreo
:
i.
e.
Wintered
in
a
Stove
,
and
Summered
in
a
Barn
.
He
understood
the
Concerns
of
this
estate
well
,
and
those
of
his
own
better
;
it
being
an
usual
saying
,
engraven
on
all
his
Plates
and
Actions
,
Frugality
is
the
left
hand
of
Fortune
,
and
Diligence
the
right
.
Anthony
Brown
Viscount
Mountacute
urged
with
much
Zeal
and
many
Arguments
the
Danger
and
Dishonour
of
revolting
off
from
the
Catholick
and
Mother-Church
:
Sir
Thomas
Challoner
with
more
Eloquence
enlarged
on
the
just
Cause
for
which
we
deceded
from
the
Errours
of
Rome
,
the
true
Authority
by
which
we
deceded
from
the
Usurpation
of
Rome
,
and
the
Moderation
in
what
we
deceded
from
the
Superstition
of
Rome
.
When
the
Spanish
Embassadour
urged
that
some
Catholicks
might
with
the
Queens
leave
remain
in
Spain
;
he
answered
him
in
a
large
Declaration
,
That
though
the
instance
seemed
a
matter
of
no
great
moment
,
yet
seeing
the
Parties
concerned
would
not
receive
so
much
advantage
by
the
license
as
the
Commonwealth
would
damage
by
the
President
,
it
was
neither
fit
for
the
King
of
Spain
to
urge
,
or
for
the
Queen
of
England
to
grant
.
He
was
very
impatient
of
Injuries
,
pressing
his
return
home
when
his
Co●●ers
were
searched
;
but
admonished
by
his
Mistress
,
That
an
Embassadour
must
take
all
things
in
good
part
that
hath
not
a
direct
tendency
to
the
Princes
dishonour

Observations
in
the
Life
of
Sir
Edward
Waterhouse
.
SIr
Edward
Waterhouse
was
born
at
Helmstedbury
Hartfordshire
:
of
an
ancient
and
worshipful
Family
,
deriving
their
descent
lineally
from
Sir
Gilbert
Waterhouse
of
Kyrton
in
Low-Lindsey
in
the
County
of
Lincoln
,
in
the
time
of
King
Henry
the
third
.
As
for
our
Sir
Edward
,
his
Parents
were
,
John
Waterhouse
Esquire
,
a
man
of
much
fidelity
and
sageness
,
Auditor
many
years
to
King
Henry
the
eighth
;
of
whom
he
obtained
(
after
a
great
Entertainment
for
him
in
his
house
)
the
grant
of
a
weekly
Market
for
the
Town
of
Helmsted
.

Margaret
Turner
of
the
ancient
House
of
Blunts-Hall
in
Suffolk
,
and
Cannons
in
Hertfordshire
.
|
The
King
at
his
departure
honoured
the
children
By
the
learned
,
industrious
and
ingenious
Edward
Waterhouse
Esquire
,
of
Si●n
.
Colledge
.
of
the
said
John
Waterhouse
,
being
brought
before
him
,
with
his
praise
and
encouragement
,
gave
a
Benjamins
portion
of
Dignation
to
this
Edward
;
foretelling
by
his
Royal
Augury
,
that
he
would
be
the
Crown
of
them
all
,
and
a
man
of
great
honour
and
wisdome
,
fit
for
the
service
of
Princes
.
It
pleased
God
afterwards
to
second
the
word
of
the
King
,
so
that
the
sprouts
of
his
hopeful
youth
onely
pointed
at
the
growth
and
greatness
of
his
honourable
Age.
For
,
being
but
twelve
years
old
,
he
went
to
Oxford
;
where
for
some
years
he
glistered
in
the
Oratorick
and
Poetick
sphere
,
until
he
addicted
himself
to
conversation
,
and
observance
of
State-affairs
,
wherein
his
great
proficiency
commended
him
to
the
favour
of
three
principal
Patrons
.
One
was
Walter
Devereux
Earl
of
Essex
,
who
made
him
his
bosome-friend
;
and
the
said
Earl
lying
on
his
death-bed
took
his
leave
of
him
with
many
kisses
:
Oh
my
Ned
,
Oh
my
Ned
,
(
said
he
)
Farewel
:
thou
art
the
faithfullest
and
friendliest
Gentleman
that
ever
I
knew
.
In
testimony
of
his
true
affection
to
the
dead
Father
in
his
living
Son
,
this
Gentleman
is
thought
to
have
penned
that
most
judicious
and
elegant
Epistle
,
(
recorded
in
Holinshed's
History
,
pag.
1266.
)
and
presented
it
to
the
young
Earl
,
conjuring
him
by
the
Cogent
Arguments
of
Example
and
Rule
to
patrizare
.
His
other
Patron
was
Sir
Henry
Sidney
,
(
so
often
Lord
Deputy
of
Ireland
)
whereby
he
〈…〉
ame
incorporated
into
the
familiarity
of
his
Son
Sir
Philip
Sidney
;
between
whom
and
Sir
Edward
there
was
so
great
friendliness
,
that
they
were
never
better
pleased
then
when
in
one
anothers
companies
,
or
when
they
corresponded
each
with
other
.
And
we
finde
after
the
death
of
that
worthy
Knight
,
that
he
was
a
close-concerned
Mourner
at
his
Obsequies
,
as
appeareth
at
large
in
the
printed
Representation
of
his
funeral
Solemnity
.
His
third
Patron
was
Sir
John
Perrot
,
Deputy
also
of
Ireland
;
who
so
valued
his
counsel
,
that
in
State-affairs
he
would
do
nothing
without
him
.
So
great
his
Employment
betwixt
State
and
State
,
that
he
crossed
the
Seas
thirty
seven
times
,
until
deservedly
at
last
he
came
into
a
port
of
honour
,
wherein
he
sundry
years
anchored
and
found
safe
Harbour
.
For
he
receiving
the
honour
of
Knighthood
,
was
sworn
of
her
Majesties
Privy-Council
for
Ireland
,
and
Chancellour
of
the
Exchequer
therein
.
Now
his
grateful
soul
coursing
about
how
to
answer
the
Queens
favour
,
laid
it self
wholly
out
in
her
service
:
wherein
two
of
his
Actions
were
most
remarkable
.
First
,
he
was
highly
instrumental
in
Modelling
the
Kingdome
of
Ireland
into
Shires
,
as
now
they
are
;
shewing
himself
so
great
a
lover
of
the
Polity
under
which
he
was
born
,
that
he
advanced
the
Compliance
therewith
(
as
commendable
and
necessary
)
in
the
Dominions
annexed
thereunto
.
His
second
service
was
,
when
many
in
that
Kingdome
shrowded
themselves
from
the
Laws
,
under
the
Target
of
power
;
making
Force
their
Tutelary
Saint
,
he
set
himself
vigorously
to
suppress
them
.
And
when
many
of
the
Privy-Council
,
terrified
with
the
greatness
of
the
Earl
of
Desmond
,
durst
not
subscribe
the
Instrument
wherein
he
was
proclaimed
Traytor
,
Sir
Edward
amongst
some
others
boldly
signed
the
same
,
(
disavowing
his
,
and
all
Treasons
against
his
Friends
and
County
)
and
the
Council
did
the
like
,
commanding
the
publication
thereof
.
As
to
his
private
sphear
,
God
blessed
him
,
being
but
a
third
Brother
,
above
his
other
Brethren
.
Now
,
though
he
had
three
Wives
,
the
first
a
Villiers
,
the
second
a
Spilman
,
the
third
the
Widow
of
Herlakenden
of
Wood-church
in
Kent
,
Esquire
;
and
though
he
had
so
strong
a
brain
and
body
,
yet
he
lived
and
died
childless
,
intercommoning
therein
with
many
Worthies
,
who
are
,
according
to
Aelius
Spartianus
,
either
improlifick
,
or
have
children
in
Genitorum
Vituperium
&
famarum
Laesuram
.
God
thus
denying
him
the
pleasure
of
posterity
,
he
craved
leave
of
the
Queen
to
retire
himself
,
and
fixed
the
residue
of
his
life
at
Wood-church
in
Kent
,
living
there
in
great
Honour
and
Repute
,
as
one
who
had
no
designe
to
be
popular
,
and
not
prudent
;
rich
,
and
not
honest
;
great
,
and
not
good
.
He
died
in
the
56
year
of
his
Age
,
the
13
of
October
1591.
and
is
buried
at
Wood-church
under
a
Table-Marble-Monument
,
erected
to
his
memory
by
his
sorrowful
Lady
surviving
him
.
Queen
Elizabeth

Lord
Willoughby

Good
Peregrine
,
VVE
are
not
a
little
glad
that
by
your
Journey
you
have
received
such
good
fruit
of
amendment
;
specially
when
we
consider
what
great
vexations
it
is
to
a
mind
devoted
to
actions
of
honour
,
to
be
restrained
by
any
indisposition
of
body
from
following
those
courses
,
which
to
your
own
reputation
and
our
great
satisfaction
you
have
formerly
performed
.
And
therefore
(
as
we
must
now
out
of
our
desire
of
your
well-doing
)
chiefly
enjoyn
you
to
an
especial
care
to
encrease
and
continue
your
health
,
which
must
give
life
to
all
your
best
Endeavours
;
so
we
must
next
as
seriously
recommend
to
you
this
consideration
,
That
in
these
times
,
when
there
is
such
appearance
that
we
shall
have
the
tryal
of
our
best
noble
Subjects
,
you
seem
not
to
affect
the
satisfaction
of
your
own
private
contentation
beyond
the
attending
of
that
which
Nature
and
Duty
challengeth
from
all
persons
of
your
Quality
and
Profession
.
For
if
necessarily
(
your
health
of
body
being
recovered
)
you
should
Eloign
your self
by
residence
there
from
those
Employments
whereof
we
shall
have
too
good
store
,
you
shall
not
so
much
amend
the
state
of
your
body
,
as
happily
you
shall
call
in
question
the
reputation
of
your
mind
and
judgement
,
even
in
the
opinion
of
those
that
love
you
,
and
are
best
acquainted
with
your
Disposition
and
Discretion
.
Interpret
this
our
plainness
we
pray
you
to
our
extraordinary
estimation
of
you
;
for
it
is
not
common
with
us
to
deal
so
freely
with
many
:
and
believe
that
you
shall
ever
finde
us
both
ready
and
willing
in
all
occasions
to
yield
you
the
fruits
of
that
interest
,
which
your
Endeavours
have
purchased
for
you
in
our
Opinion
and
Estimation
:
Not
doubting
,
but
when
you
have
with
moderation
made
tryal
of
the
success
of
these
your
sundry
Peregrinations
,
you
will
finde
as
great
comfort
to
spend
your
days
at
home
as
heretofore
you
have
done
:
of
which
we
do
wish
you
full
measure
,
howsoever
you
shall
have
cause
of
abode
or
return
.

Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Duke
of
Norfolk
.
HIs
Predecessors
made
more
noyse
it
may
be
,
but
he
had
the
greater
fame
:
their
Greatness
was
feared
,
his
Goodness
was
loved
.
He
was
Heir
to
his
Uncles
Ingenuity
,
and
his
Fathers
Valour
;
and
from
both
derived
as
well
the
Laurel
as
the
Coronet
.
His
God
and
his
Soveraign
were
not
more
taken
with
the
ancient
simplicity
that
lodged
in
his
plain
breast
,
then
the
people
were
endeared
by
that
noble
humility
that
dwelt
in
his
plainer
cloaths
and
carriage
.
(
The
most
honourable
Personages
,
like
the
most
honourable
Coats
of
Arms
,
are
least
gawdy
.
)
In
the
election
of
the
first
Parliament
of
Queen
Elizabeth
,
and
as
a
consequent
to
that
in
the
settlement
of
the
Kingdome
,
Sir
William
Cecils
Wisdome
did
much
,
the
Earl
of
Arundels
Industry
more
,
but
the
Duke
of
Norfolks
Popularity
did
most
.
Never
Peer
more
dread
,
never
more
dear
:
as
he
could
engage
the
people
to
comply
with
their
Soveraign
at
home
,
so
he
could
lead
them
to
serve
her
abroad
.
That
Martial
but
unfortunate
Gentleman
William
Lord
Grey
,
draweth
first
towards
Scotland
,
(
for
the
first
Cloud
that
would
have
darkened
our
glorious
Star
,
came
from
the
North
,
Whence
all
evil
,
is
equally
our
Proverb
and
our
experience
)
as
Warden
of
the
middle
and
East
Marches
:
but
he
is
seconded
by
the
Duke
,
as
Lieutenant-General
of
the
North-parts
;
where
his
presence
commands
a
Treaty
,
and
his
Authority
a
League
,
Offensive
and
Defensive
,
to
balance
the
French
Interest
,
to
reduce
the
North
parts
of
Ireland
,
and
keep
the
peace
of
both
Kingdomes
.
Now
as
the
watchful
Duke
discovered
by
some
private
Passages
and
Letters
that
Scotland
was
to
be
invaded
by
the
French
:
so
he
writ
to
his
Soveraign
,
That
notwithstanding
the
Spanish
&
French
Embassadors
Overtures
,
she
would
proceed
resolutely
in
her
preparations
for
Scotland
;
as
she
did
under
his
Conduct
,
until
the
young
Queen
was
glad
to
submit
;
and
the
King
of
France
,
by
Cecil
and
Throgmortons
means
now
busied
at
home
,
to
come
to
terms
.
He
brought
the
Kingdome
to
Musters
,
the
People
to
ply
Husbandry
,
the
Nobility
to
keep
Armories
,
and
the
Justicers
to
Salaries
.
The
Ensignes
of
St.
Michael
were
bestowed
upon
him
as
the
Noblest
,
and
on
Leicester
as
the
dearest
Person
at
Court
:
Now
Arundel
,
who
had
spent
his
own
Estate
in
hope
of
the
Queens
,
under
pretence
of
recovering
his
health
,
travelled
abroad
to
mitigate
his
grief
.
When
the
Earls
of
Pembroke
and
Leicester
were
openly
for
the
Queens
Marriage
,
for
the
future
security
of
our
present
happiness
;
the
Duke
,
though
privately
of
their
mind
,
yet
would
discourse
,
1.
That
Successors
take
off
the
peoples
eyes
from
the
present
Soveraign
.
2.
That
it
was
the
safest
way
to
keep
all
Competitors
in
suspence
.
3.
That
Successors
,
though
not
designed
,
may
succeed
.
4.
Whereas
when
known
,
they
have
been
undone
by
the
Arts
of
their
Competitors
.
5.
And
that
most
men
(
whatever
the
busie
Agitators
of
the
Succession
pretended
)
have
no
more
feeling
in
publick
matters
then
concerneth
their
own
private
interest
.
But
he
had
a
private
kindness
for
the
Queen
of
Scots
,
which
he
discovered
in
all
the
Treaties
wherein
she
was
concerned
.
1.
In
Love-Letters
to
her
,
notwithstanding
that
Queen
Elizabeth
bid
him
take
care
what
pillow
he
rested
his
head
on
.
2.
In
his
Mediations
at
Court
so
importune
for
her
,
that
the
Queen
would
say
,
The
Queen
of
Scots
shall
never
want
an
Advocate
while
Norfolk
lives
.
And
,
3.
By
some
private
transaction
with
the
Pope
and
Spaniard
:
to
which
Leicesters
craft
trepanned
him
against
his
friend
Cecils
advice
,
which
in
a
dangerous
juncture
cost
him
his
life
.
For
the
people
wishing
(
for
the
security
of
the
succession
in
a
Protestant
and
an
English
hand
)
that
the
good
Duke
were
married
to
the
Mother
,
and
his
onely
Daughter
to
her
young
Son
;
subtile
Leicester
and
Throgmorton
laid
a
Train
for
the
plain
man
by
Conferences
with
Murray
,
Cecil
,
&c.
until
a
Plot
was
discovered
:
and
the
Duke
,
notwithstanding
Cecils
advice
to
marry
a
private
Lady
,
retiring
to
Norfolk
to
finish
the
Match
with
the
Queen
,
was
upon
Letters
taken
with
Rosse
surprized
,
and
committed
to
the
Tower
,
he
saying
,
I
am
betrayed
,
and
undone
by
mine
own
,
whilst
I
knew
not
how
to
mistrust
,
which
is
the
strength
of
wisdome
.
After
a
solemn
Tryal
,
he
is
beheaded
for
Indiscretions
rather
then
Treasons
,
loosing
his
head
because
he
wanted
one
.
Never
any
fell
more
beloved
,
or
more
pitied
:
such
his
singular
Courtesie
,
such
his
magnificent
Bounty
,
not
unbecoming
so
great
a
Peer
.
High
was
his
Nobility
,
large
his
Interest
,
singularly
good
his
Nature
,
comely
his
Person
,
manly
his
Countenance
,
who
(
saith
Cambden
)
might
have
been
a
great
strength
and
Ornament
to
his
Country
,
had
not
the
cunning
practices
of
his
malicious
Adversaries
,
and
slippery
hopes
,
under
colour
of
publick
good
,
diverted
him
from
his
first
course
of
life
.
His
death
was
a
blot
to
some
mens
Justice
,
to
all
mens
Discretion
that
were
concerned
in
it
,
as
generally
odious
,
though
quietly
endured
:
which
proves
(
saith
one
)
That
the
common
people
are
like
Rivers
,
which
seldome
grow
so
impetuous
as
to
transcend
the
bounds
of
Obedience
,
but
upon
the
overflowing
of
a
general
Oppression
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Nicholas
Throgmorton
.
SIr
Nicholas
Throgmorton
,
fourth
Son
of
Sir
George
Throgmorton
of
Coughton
in
Warwick-shire
,
was
bred
beyond
the
Seas
,
where
he
attained
to
great
experience
.
Under
Queen
Mary
he
was
in
Guild-hall
arraigned
for
Treason
,
(
in
compliance
with
Wiat
)
and
by
his
own
wary
pleading
,
and
the
Juries
upright
Verdict
,
hardly
escaped
.
Queen
Elizabeth
employed
him
her
Leiger
a
long
time
,
first
in
France
,
then
in
Scotland
,
finding
him
a
most
able
Minister
of
State
:
yet
got
he
no
great
Wealth
;
and
no
wonder
,
being
ever
of
the
opposite
party
to
Burleigh
Lord
Treasurer
:
Chamberlain
of
the
Exchequer
,
and
Chief
Butler
of
England
,
were
his
highest
Preferments
.
I
say
,
Chief
Butler
;
which
Office
,
like
an
empty-covered
Cup
,
pretendeth
to
some
State
,
but
affordeth
no
considerable
profit
.
He
died
at
Supper
with
eating
of
Sallats
:
not
without
suspicion
of
poyson
;
the
rather
,
because
it
happened
in
the
house
of
one
no
mean
Artist
in
that
faculty
,
R.
Earl
of
Leicester
.
His
death
,
as
it
was
sudden
,
was
seasonable
for
him
and
his
,
whose
active
(
others
will
call
it
turbulent
)
spirit
had
brought
him
unto
such
trouble
as
might
have
cost
him
,
at
least
,
the
loss
of
his
Personal
Estate
.
He
died
in
the
57
year
of
his
Age
,
Febr.
12.
1570.
and
lieth
buried
in
the
South-side
of
the
Chancel
of
St.
Martin
Cree-church
London
.
A
stout
and
a
wise
man
,
that
saw
through
pretences
,
and
could
look
beyond
dangers
.
His
skill
in
Heraldry
appears
in
his
grim
Arguments
against
the
King
of
France
,
in
right
of
his
Queen
of
Scots
Usurping
of
the
Arms
of
England
;
and
his
experience
in
History
,
in
his
peremptory
Declarations
of
the
Queen
of
Englands
[
](A48796-e63010-b)a
a
Which
he
made
out
from
Dr.
Wottons
Discourse
on
that
subject
at
Cambray
.
Title
in
right
of
her
twelve
Predecessors
to
those
of
France
.
But
his
Policy
much
more
,
by
putting
Montmorency
,
the
great
Enemy
of
the
Guizes
,
upon
perswading
his
Master
out
of
the
humour
of
wearing
those
Arms
,
with
this
Argument
,
That
it
was
below
the
Arms
of
France
to
be
quartered
with
those
of
England
;
those
being
comprehensive
of
these
and
all
other
of
his
Majesties
Dominions
.
An
Argument
more
suitable
to
that
Prince
his
ambition
,
then
convincing
to
his
Reason
.
Wise
men
speak
rather
what
is
most
fit
,
then
what
is
most
rational
;
not
what
demonstrates
,
but
what
perswades
his
,
and
takes
.
But
being
endangered
in
his
Person
,
affronted
in
his
Retinue
,
and
served
with
nothing
at
his
Table
but
what
had
the
Arms
of
England
quartered
with
those
of
France
,
he
dealt
underhand
with
the
Earl
of
Northumberland
,
to
understand
the
scope
the
Reformed
propounded
to
themselves
,
their
means
to
compass
what
they
aimed
at
,
and
(
if
at
any
time
they
were
assisted
)
upon
what
terms
a
League
might
be
concluded
between
the
two
Kingdomes
.
The
Advices
collected
from
all
his
Observations
he
sent
to
the
Queen
,
were
these
:
1.
That
she
should
not
rest
in
dull
Counsels
of
what
is
lawful
,
but
proceed
to
quick
Resolutions
of
what
is
safe
.
2.
That
to
prevent
,
is
the
policy
of
all
Nations
;
and
to
be
powerful
,
of
ours
.
England
is
never
peaceable
but
in
Arms.
3.
That
how
close
soever
they
managed
their
Affairs
,
it
was
a
Maxime
,
[
](A48796-e63260-b)b
b
To
which
Queen
Elizabeth
addeth
a
saying
of
Valentinians
,
Have
the
French
for
thy
Friend
,
not
for
thy
Neighbor
.
That
France
can
neither
be
poor
,
nor
abstain
from
War
three
years
together
.
Francis
Earl
of
Bedford
bore
the
state
of
the
French
Embassy
,
and
Sir
Nicholas
the
burden
,
who
gave
dayly
Directions
to
Sir
Thomas
Challoner
in
Spain
,
Sir
Henry
Killigrew
in
Germany
,
and
Sir
Thomas
Randolph
and
Sir
Peter
Mewtas
in
Scotland
:
to
the
two
first
,
to
enjealous
the
Princes
of
those
Countries
;
and
to
the
last
,
to
unite
the
Nobility
of
Scotland
;
he
in
the
mean
time
suffering
himself
to
be
taken
prisoner
by
the
Protestants
at
the
battle
of
Dreux
,
that
he
might
with
less
suspition
impart
secret
Counsels
to
them
,
and
receive
as
secret
Advices
from
them
;
until
discovering
their
lightness
and
unconstancy
,
they
secured
him
as
a
person
too
cunning
for
the
whole
Faction
,
and
too
skilful
in
raising
Hurley-burleys
and
Commotions
.
When
the
young
Queen
of
Scots
would
needs
marry
the
young
Lord
Darley
,
he
told
her
that
was
long
to
be
deliberated
on
which
was
to
be
done
but
once
.
And
when
that
would
not
do
,
he
advised
,
1.
That
an
Army
should
appear
upon
the
borders
:
2.
That
the
Ecclesiastical
Laws
should
be
in
force
against
Papists
:
3.
That
Hertford
should
be
secured
:
and
,
4.
That
the
Lord
Dudley
should
be
advanced
.
But
the
Queen
being
married
to
the
Lord
Darley
,
an
easie
and
good-natured
man
,
whom
Queen
Elizabeth
wished
to
her
Bed
next
Leicester
,
and
affronted
by
her
subjects
,
Throgmorton

the
Queens
Authority
and
non-accountableness

over

;
until
smelling
their
designe
of
revolt
to
the
French
,
and
cruelty
upon
the
Queen
,
he
perswaded
her
to
resigne
her
Government
,
saying
,
That
her
Resignation
extorted
in
Prison
,
which
is
a
just
fear
,
was
utterly
void
.
The
next
news
we
hear
of
this
busie
man
,
was
in
his
two
Advisoes
to
the
Queen
of
Scots
friends
:
1.
To

whom
they
might

said
)

2.
To
proclaim
the
Queen
of
Scots
succession
;
and
in
the
Train
he
laid
to
serve
Leicester
in

Duke
of

.
But
he
was
too
familiar
with
that
Politicians
privacy
,
to
live
long
:
anno
1570
,
he
died
.
A
Man
,
saith
Mr.
Cambden
,
of
great
experience
,
passing
sharp
wit
,
and
singular
diligence
;
an
over-curious
fancy
,
and
a
too
nimble
activity
:
like
your
too
fine
Silks
or
Linen
,
and
more
for
shew
then
service
;
never
blessing
their
Owners
but
when
allayed
with
something
of
the
heavy
and
the
wary
;
nor
rising
,
but
when
stayed
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Edward
Earl
of
Derby
.
HIs
Greatness
supported
his
Goodness
,
and
his
Goodness
endeared
his
Greatness
;
his
Heighth
being
looked
upon
with
a
double
aspect
:
1.
By
himself
,
as
an
advantage
of
Beneficence
:
2.
By
others
,
as
a
ground
of
Reverence
.
His
great
Birth
put
him
above
private
respects
,
but
his
great
Soul
never
above
publick
service
.
Indeed
he
repaired
by
ways
thrifty
,
yet
Noble
,
what
his
Ancestors
had
impaired
by
neglect
.
Good
Husbandry
may
as
well
stand
with
great
Honour
,
as
Breadth
may
consist
with
Heighth
.
His
Travel
when
young
,
at
once
gained
experience
,
and
saved
expences
;
and
his
marriage
was
as
much
to
his
profit
as
his
honour
.
And
now
he
sheweth
himself
in
his
full
Grandeur
,
when
the
intireness
of
his
Minde
,
complyed
with
the
largeness
of
his
Soul
.
1.
In
a
spreading
Charity
.
Other
Lords
made
many
poor
by
Oppression
;
he
and
my
Lord
of
Bedford
,
as
Queen
Elizabeth
would
jest
,
made
all
the
Beggers
by
his
liberality
.
2.
In
a
famous
Hospitality
:
wherein
,
1.
His
House
was
orderly
;
a
Colledge
of
Discipline
,
rather
then
a
Palace
for
Entertainment
;
his
Servants
being
so
many
young
Gentlemen
trained
up
to
govern
themselves
by
observing
him
;
who
knew
their
Master
,
and
understood
themselves
.
2.
His
Provision
Native
,
(
all
the
Necessaries
of
England
are
bred
in
it
)
rather
plentiful
then
various
,
solid
then
dainty
,
that
cost
him
less
,
and
contented
his
guests
more
.
His
Table
constant
and
even
,
where
all
were
welcome
,
and
none
invited
.
3.
His
Hall
was
full
most
commonly
,
his
Gates
always
;
the
one
with
the
honest
Gentry
and
Yeomen
,
who
were
his
Retainers
in
love
and
observance
,
bringing
good
stomacks
to
his
Table
,
and
resolved
hearts
for
his
service
;
the
holding
up
of
his
hand
in
the
Northern
business
,
being
as
effectual
as
the
displaying
of
a
Banner
:
The
other
with
the
,
1.
Aged
,
2.
Maimed
,
3.
Industrious
Poor
,
whose
craving
was
prevented
with
doles
,
and
expectation
with
bounty
;
the
first
being
provided
with
meat
,
the
second
with
money
,
and
the
third
with
employment
.
In
a
word
,
Mr.
Cambden
observes
,
That
Hospitality
lieth
buried
since
1572
,
in
this
Earls
Grave
:
whence
may
that
Divine
Power
raise
it
,
that
shall
raise
him
;
but
before
the
last
Resurrection
,
when
there
will
be
plenty
to
bestow
in
one
part
of
the
world
,
and
no
poor
to
be
relieved
;
poverty
in
the
other
,
and
no
bounty
to
relieve
.
Neither
was
he
Munificent
upon
other
mens
charge
:
for
once
a
moneth
he
looked
into
his
Incomes
,
and
once
a
week
to
his
Disbursements
,
that
none
should
wrong
him
,
or
be
wronged
by
him
.
The
Earl
of
Derby
,
he
would
say
,
shall
keep
his
own
House
:
wherefore
it
's
an
Observation
of
him
and
the
second
Duke
of
Norfolk
,
That
when
they
were
buried
,
not
a
Trades-man
could
demand
the
payment
of
a
Groat
that
they
owed
him
,
nor
a
Neighbour
the
restitution
of
a
peny
they
had
wronged
him
.
They
say
,
The
Grass
groweth
not
where
the
Grand
Seigniors
Horse
treads
;
nor
doth
the
People
thrive
where
the
Noble-men
inhabit
:
But
here
every
Tenant
was
a
Gentleman
,
and
every
Gentleman
my
Lords
Companion
:
such
his
Civility
towards
the
one
,
and
great
penyworths
to
the
other
.
Noblemen
in
those
days
esteemed
the
love
of
their
Neighbours
more
then
their
fear
,
and
the
service
and
●ealty
of
their
Tenants
more
then
their
Money
.
Now
the
Landlord
hath
the
sweat
of
the
Tenants
brow
in
his
Coffers
,
then
he
had
the
best
blood
in
his
Veins
at
his
command
.
That
grand
word
,
On
mine
Honour
,
was
security
enough
for
a
Kingdome
,
and
the
onely
Asseveration
he
used
.
It
was
his
priviledge
,
that
he
need
not
swear
for
a
testimony
;
and
his
renown
,
that
he
would
not
for
his
honour
.
Great
was
this
Families
esteem
with
the
people
,
and
eminent
their
favour
with
their
Soveraigns
;
as
which
ever
bestowed
its
self
in
obliging
their
Liege-people
,
improving
their
interest
,
and
supporting
their
Throne
:
for
though
they
were
a
long
time
great
Kings
of
Man
and
Hearts
,
yet
were
they
as
long
faithful
subjects
to
England
.
Oservations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Williliam
Fitz-Williams
.
A
Childe
of
Fortune
from
his
Cradle
,
made
up
of
confidence
and
reputation
:
never
unwarily
shewing
his
Vertue
or
Worth
to
the
world
with
any
disadvantage
.
When
Britain
had
as
little
sleepiness
and
sloath
as
night
,
when
it
was
all
day
,
and
all
activity
;
He
,
as
all
young
Sparks
of
that
Age
,
trailed
a
Pike
in
the
Netherlands
,
(
the
Seminary
of
the
English
Soldiery
,
and
the
School
of
Europes
Discipline
)
as
a
Souldier
,
and
travelled
as
a
Gentleman
;
until
that
place
graced
him
civilly
with
a
Command
,
which
he
had
honoured
eminently
with
his
service
.
His
friends
checked
him
for
undertaking
an
Employment
so
boysterous
;
and
he
replyed
upon
them
,
That
it
was
as
necessary
as
it
seemed
irregular
:
for
if
some
were
not
Souldiers
,
all
must
be
so
.
He
said
,
He
never
durst
venture
on
War
with
men
,
till
he
had
made
his
Peace
with
God
:
A
good
Conscience
breeds
great
Resolutions
,
and
the
innocent
Soul
is
impregnable
:
None
more
fearful
of
doing
evil
,
none
more
resolved
to
suffer
:
there
being
no
hardship
that
he
would
avoid
,
no
undecency
that
he
would
allow
.
Strict
he
was
to
his
Commission
,
and
yet
observant
of
his
advantage
:
never
tempting
a
danger
,
never
flying
it
:
careful
of
his
first
life
and
himself
,
but
more
of
his
other
and
his
name
.
When
the
methods
of
Obedience
advanced
him
to
the
honour
of
commanding
,
six
things
he
was
Chronicled
for
.
1.
Never
making
the
Aged
,
the
Young
,
or
the
Weak
,
the
Objects
of
his
Rage
,
which
could
not
be
so
of
his
Fear
.
2.
That
he
never
basely
killed
in
cold
blood
,
them
that
had
nobly
escaped
his
Sword
in
hot
.
3.
That
he
never
led
the
Souldiers
without
pay
,
or
quartered
in
the
Country
without
money
.
4.
That
though
he
was
second
to
none
that
acted
in
War
,
such
his
Valour
!
yet
he
was
the
first
that
spake
for
Peace
,
such
his
sweet
Disposition
!
5.
That
he
would
never
suffer
that
a
Clergy-man
should
be
abused
,
a
Church
violated
,
or
the
Dead
be
unburied
.
6.
That
he
would
never
force
an
Enemy
to
a
necessity
;
always
saying
,
Let
us
disarm
them
of
their
best
Weapon
,
Despair
:
nor
fight
an
Enemy
before
he
had
skirmished
him
,
nor
undertake
a
defigne
before
he
consulted
his
God
,
his
Council
,
his
Friends
,
his
Map
and
his
History
.
His
own
Abilities
commended
,
and
his
alliance
with
Sir
Henry
Sidney
Lord
Deputy
,
whose
Sister
he
married
,
promoted
him
to
the
Government
of
Ireland
.
Once
did
the
Queen
send
him
thither
for
his
Brothers
sake
,
four
times
more
for
his
own
sake
;
a
sufficient
evidence
(
saith
my
Friend
)
of
his
Ability
and
Integrity
,
since
Princes
never
trust
twice
,
where
they
are
once
deceived
in
a
Minister
of
State
.
He
kept
up
his
Mistresses
Interest
,
and
she
his
Authority
;
enjoyning
the
Earl
of
Essex
,
so
much
above
him
in
honour
,
to
truckle
under
him
in
Commission
when
Governour
of
Vlster
,
and
he
Lord
Deputy
of
Ireland
.
Defend
me
,
said
Luther
to
the
Duke
of
Saxony
,
with
your
Sword
,
and
I
will
defend
you
with
my
pen.
Maintain
my
Power
,
saith
the
Minister
of
State
to
his
Soveraign
,
and
I
will
support
your
Majesty
.
Two
things
he
did
for
the
settlement
of
that
Kingdome
:
-
1.
He
raised
a
Composition
in
Munster
.
-
2.
He
established
the
Possessions
of
the
Lords
and
Tenants
in
Monahan
.
Severe
he
was
always
against
the
Spanish
Faction
,
but
very
vigilant
in
—
88
,
when
the
dispersed
Armado
did
look
,
but

it
was

Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Earl
of
Pembroke
.
AN
excellent
Man
,
and
one
that
fashioned
his
own
Fortune
:
His
Disposition
got
favour
,
and
his
Prudence
wealth
,
(
the
first
to
grace
the
second
,
and
the
second
to
support
the
first
)
under
King
Henry
the
eigth
,
whose
Brother-in-law
he
was
by
his
wife
,
and
Chamberlain
by
his
place
.
When
others
were
distracted
with
Factions
in
King
Edwards
Reign
,
he
was
intent
upon
his
Interest
,
(
leaning
(
as
he
said
)
on
both
sides
the
stairs
to
get
up
)
for
his
service
,
being
promoted
to
the
Master
of
the
Horses
place
;
for
his
relation
to
the
Queen-mother
,
to
the
Order
of
St.
George
;
and
in
his
own
Right
,
to
the
Barony
of
Caerdiffe
,
and
the
Earldome
of
Pembroke
.
Under
Queen
Mary
his
Popularity
was
very
serviceable
when
General
against
Wiat
;
his
Authority
useful
,
when
President
of
Wales
;
and
his
Vigilancy
remarkable
,
when
Governour
of
Calice
:
And
under
Queen
Elizabeth
,
for
his
Fidelity
and
ancient
Honesty
he
was
made
great
Master
of
the
Houshold
.
But
herein
he
failed
,
That
being
more
intent
upon
the
future
state
of
the
Kingdome
under
the
succession
,
then
his
own
under
the
present
Soveraign
,
he
was
cajoled
by
Leicester
to
promote
the
Queen
of
Scots
Match
with
Norfolk
so
far
,
(
neither
with
an
ill
will
,
(
saith
the
Annalist
)
nor
a
bad
intent
)
as
to
loose
his
own
favour
with
the
Queen
of
England
,
who
discovered
those
things
after
his
death
that
made
him
weary
of
his
life
:
which
was
an
instance
of
my
Lord
Bacons
Rule
,
That
ancient
Nobility
is
more
innocent
,
though
not
so
active
as
the
young
one
;
this
more
vertuous
,
but
not
so
plain
as
that
;
there
being
rarely
any
rising
but
by
a
commixture
of
good
and
evil
Arts.
He
was
richer
in
his
Tenants
hearts
then
their
Rents
:
Alas
!
what
hath
not
that
Nobleman
,
that
hath
an
universal
love
from
his
Tenants
?
who
were
observed
to
live
better
with
their
encouraged
industry
upon
his
Copyhold
,
then
others
by
their
secure
sloath
on
their
own
Free-land
.
2.
His
Chaplains
,
whose
Merits
were
preferred
freely
and
nobly
to
his
excellent
Livings
,
without
any
unworthy
Gratuities
to
his
Gebazi's
or
Servants
,
or
any
unbecoming
Obligations
to
himself
.
3.
His
Servants
,
whose
youth
had
its
Education
in
his
Family
,
and
Age
its
Maintenance
upon
his
Estate
,
which
was
favourably
Let
out
to
Tenants
,
and
freely
Leased
to
his
Servants
;
of
whom
he
had
a
Train
upon
any
occasion
in
his
Family
,
and
an
Army
in
his
Neighbourhood
:
an
Army
,
I
say
,
in
his
Neighbourhood
;
not
to
enjealous
his
Prince
,
but
to
secure
him
;
as
in
Wiats
case
,
when
this
King
of
Hearts
would
be
by
no
means
a
Knave
of
Clubs
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Walter
Mildmay
.
WAlter
Mildmay
,
that
upright
and
most
advised
m●n
,
was
born
at
Chelmsford
Cambden
Eliz.
1566
in
Essex
,
where
he
was
a
younger
son
to
Thomas
Mildmay
Esquire
.
He
was
bred
in
Christs-Colledge
in
Cambridge
,
where
he
did
not
(
as
many
young
Gentlemen
)
study
onely
in
Complement
,
but
seriously
applyed
himself
to
his
Book
.
Under
King
Henry
the
eighth
,
and
King
Edward
the
sixth
,
he
had
a
gainful
Office
in
the
Court
of
Augmentations
:
during
the
Reign
of
Queen
Mary
,
he
practised
the
Politick
Precept
,
Bene
vixit
,
qui
bene
latuit
.
No
sooner
came
Queen
Elizabeth
to
the
Crown
,
but
he
was
called
to
State-employment
;
and
it
was
not
long
before
he
was
made
Chancellour
of
the
Exchequer
.
It
is
observed
,
That
the
Exchequer
never
fareth
ill
but
under
a
good
Prince
;
such
who
out
of
Conscience
will
not
oppress
their
People
,
whilst
Tyrants
pass
not
for
that
they
squeeze
out
of
their
Subjects
.
Indeed
Queen
Elizabeth
was
very
careful
not
to
have
her
Coffers
swelled
with
the
Consumption
of
her
Kingdome
,
and
had
conscientious
Officers
under
her
;
amongst
whom
,
Sir
Walter
was
a
principal
one
.
This
Knight
,
sensible
of
Gods
blessing
on
his
Estate
,
and
knowing
that
,
Omne
beneficium
requirit
Officium
,
cast
about
to
make
his
return
to
God
.
He
began
with
his
Benefactions
to
Christs-Colledge
in
Cambridge
,
onely
to
put
his
hand
into
practice
:
then
his
Bounty
embraced
the
Generous
Resolution
,
(
which
the
painful
piety
of
St.
Paul
propounds
to
himself
,
viz.
)
Not
to
build
on
another
mans
foundation
,
but
on
his
own
cost
he
erected
a
new
Colledge
in
Cambridge
,
by
the
name
of
Immanuel
.
A
right
godly
Gentleman
he
was
;
a
good
Man
,
and
a
good
Citizen
;
though
some
of
his
back
friends
suggested
to
the
Queen
that
he
was
a
better
Patriot
then
Subject
:
and
he
was
over-popular
in
Parliaments
,
insomuch
that
his
Life
set
sub
nubecula
,
under
a
Cloud
of
a
Royal
Displeasure
:
yet
was
not
the
Cloud
so
great
,
but
that
the
beams
of
his
Innocence
meeting
those
of
the
Queens
Candour
,
had
easily
dispelled
it
,
had
he
survived
longer
,
as
appeared
by
the
great
grief
of
the
Queen
,
professed
for
the
loss
of
so
grave
a
Councellour
,
who
leaving
two
Sons
and
three
Daughters
,
died
anno
Domini
1589.
This
Gentleman
being
employed
by
vertue
of
his
place
to
advance
the
Queens
Treasure
,
did
it
industriously
,
faithfully
,
and
conscionably
,
without
wronging
the
Subject
,
being
very
tender
of
their
Priviledges
;
insomuch
that
he
complained
in
Parliament
,
That
many
Subsidies
were
granted
,
and
no
Grievances
redressed
:
which
words
being
represented
to
his
disadvantage
to
the
Queen
,
made
her
to
disaffect
him
,
setting
in
a
Court-Cloud
,
but
(
as
he
goeth
on
)
in
the
Sun-shine
of
his
Country
,
and
a
clear
Conscience
,
(
though
a
mans
Conscience
can
be
said
no
otherwise
clear
by
his
opposition
to
the
Court
,
then
a
man
is
said
to
have
a
good
heart
when
it
is
but
a
bold
one
.
)
But
coming
to
Court
after
he
had
founded
his
Colledge
,
the
Queen
told
him
,
Sir
Walter
,
I
hear
you
have
erected
a
Puritan
foundation
.
No
,
Madam
,
said
he
,
far
be
it
from
me
to
countenance
any
thing
contrary
to
your
established
Laws
:
But
I
have
set
an
Acorn
;
which
when
it
comes
to
be
an
Oak
,
God
alone
knows
what
will
be
the
fruit
of
it
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
John
Fortescue
.
AN
upright
and
a
knowing
man
,
a
great
Master
of
Greek
and
Latine
,
and
Overseer
of
the
Qu:
Studies
in
both
the
Languages
;
Master
of
the
Wardrobe
,
one
whom
she
trusted
with
the
Ornaments
of
her
soul
and
body
:
succeeding
Sir
Walter
M●ldmay
in
his
prudence
and
piety
,
and
in
his
place
of
Chancellor
and
Under-treasurer
of
the
Exchequer
.
Two
men
Qu:
Eliz.
would
say
out
did
her
expectation
;
Fortescue
for
Integrity
,
and
Walsingham
for
Subtlety
,
as
Cambden
writes
,
and
Officious
services
.
His
and
Rawleigh's
failure
was
their
design
of
Articling
with
K.
James
at
his
first
coming
,
not
so
much
(
say
some
in
their
behalf
)
for
himself
,
as
for
his
followers
,
in
regard
of
the
known
seud
between
the
Nations
.
However
,
conditions
unworthy
of
English
Subjects
to
offer
,
and
below
the
K.
of
Great
Britain
to
receive
,
who
is
to
make
no
more
terms
for
his
Kingdome
than
for
his
Birth
.
The
very
solemn
asking
of
the
Peoples
consent
,
which
the
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
in
all
the
corners
of
the
stage
at
a
Coronation
makes
,
importing
no
more
than
this
;
Do
you
the
People
of
England
acknowledge
,
that
this
is
the
Person
who
is
the
Heir
of
the
Crown
?
They
being
absolutely
obliged
to
submit
to
the
Government
upon
supposition
that
they
absolutely
believe
that
he
is
the
King
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
William
Drury
.
SIr
William
Drury
was
born
in
Suffolk
,
where
his
Worshipful
Family
had
long
flourished
at
Haulsted
.
His
name
in
Saxon
soundeth
a
Pearl
,
to
which
he
answered
in
the
pretiousnesse
of
his
disposition
,
clear
and
heard
,
innocent
and
valiant
,
and
therefore
valued
deservedly
by
his
Queen
and
Country
.
His
youth
was
spent
in
the
French
Wars
,
his
middle-Age
in
Scotland
,
and
his
old
Age
in
Ireland
.
He
was
Knight-Marshal
of
Barwick
,
at
what
time
the
French
had
possessed
themselves
of
the
Castle
of
Edenburgh
,
in
the
minority
of
King
James
.
Queen
Elizabeth
employed
this
Sir
William
with
1500
men
to
besiege
the
Castle
;
which
service
he
right
worthily
performed
,
reducing
it
within
few
days
to
the
Owner
thereof
.
Anno
1575.
he
was
appointed
Lord
President
of
Munster
,
whither
he
went
with
competent
Forces
,
and
executed
impartial
Justice
in
despight
of
the
Opposers
thereof
.
For
as
the
Signe
of
Leo
immediately
precedeth
Virgo
and
Libra
in
the
Zodiack
;
so
I
hope
not
that
Innocency
will
be
protected
,
or
Justice
administred
in
a
barbarous
Country
,
where
power
and
strength
do
not
first
secure
a
passage
unto
them
.
But
the
Earl
of
Desmond
opposed
this
good
President
,
forbidding
him
to
enter
the
County
of
Kerry
,
as
a
Palatinate
peculiarly
appropriated
unto
himself
.
Know
by
the
way
,
as
there
were
but
four
Palatinates
in
England
,
Chester
,
Laneaster
,
Durbam
and
Ely
,
(
whereof
the
two
former
many
years
since
were
in
effect
invested
in
the
Crown
)
there
were
no
fewer
then
eight
Palatinates
in
Ireland
,
possessed
by
their
respective
Dynasts
claiming
Regal
Rights
therein
,
to
the
great
retarding
of
the
absolute
Conquest
of
that
Kingdome
.
Amongst
these
,
(
saith
my
Author
)
Kerry
became
the
Sanctuary
of
Sin
,
and
Refuge
of
Rebels
,
as
outlawed
from
any
Jurisdiction
.
Sir
William
no
whit
terrified
with
the
Earls
threatning
,
and
declaring
that
no
place
should
be
a
priviledge
to
mischief
,
entred
Kerry
with
a
competent
Train
,
and
there
dispenced
Justice
to
all
persons
,
as
occasion
did
require
.
Thus
with
sevenscore
men
he
safely
forced
his
return
through
seven
hundred
of
the
Earls
,
who
sought
to
surprize
him
.
In
the
last
year
of
his
Life
he
was
made
Lord
Deputy
of
Ireland
;
and
no
doubt
had
performed
much
in
his
place
,
if
not
afflicted
with
constant
sickness
,
the
forerunner
of
his
death
,
at
Waterford
,
1598.
He
was
one
of
that
Military
Valour
which
the
Lord
Verulam
wisheth
about
a
Prince
in
troublesome
times
,
that
held
a
good
esteem
with
the
Populacy
,
and
an
exact
correspondence
with
the
Nobless
;
whereby
he
united
himself
to
each
side
by
endearments
,
and
divided
them
by
distrust
;
watching
the
slow
motions
of
the
people
,
that
they
should
not
be
excited
and
spirited
by
the
Nobility
;
and
the
ambition
of
the
Great
Ones
,
that
it
should
not
be
befriended
with
the
turbulency
,
or
strengthened
with
the
assistance
of
the
Commonalty
.
One
great
Act
well
followed
did
his
business
with
the
Natives
,
whom
he
sometimes
indulged
,
(
giving
their
Discontents
liberty
to
evaporate
)
and
with
the
strangers
,
whom
he
always
awed
.
In
those
that
were
commended
to
his
service
,
he
observed
two
things
:
1.
That
they
were
not
advanced
for
their
dependence
,
because
they
promote
a
Party
;
which
he
noted
to
be
the
first
ground
of
Recommendation
:
2.
Nor
for
their
weakness
,
because
they
cannot
hinder
it
;
which
he
remarked
to
be
the
second
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Thomas
Smith
.
SIr
Thomas
Smith
was
born
at
[
](A48796-e65580-b)*
*
Cambd.
Eliz.
anno
1577.
Saffron-Walden
in
Essex
,
and
bred
in
Queens
Colledge
in
Cambridge
;
where
such
his
proficiency
in
Learning
,
that
he
was
chosen
out
by
Henry
the
eighth
to
be
sent
over
,
and
to
be
brought
up
beyond
the
Seas
.
It
was
fashionable
in
that
Age
that
pregnant
Students
were
maintained
on
the
cost
of
the
State
,
to
be
Merchants
for
experience
in
Forreign
Parts
;
whence
returning
home
with
their
gainful
Adventurers
,
they
were
preferred
according
to
the
improvement
of
their
time
to
Offices
in
their
own
Country
.
Well
it
were
if
this
good
old
Custome
were
resumed
:
for
if
where
God
hath
given
five
talents
,
Men
would
give
but
pounds
,
I
mean
,
encourage
hopeful
Abilities
with
hopeful
Maintenance
,
able
persons
would
never
be
wanting
,
and
poor
men
with
great
Parts
would
not
be
excluded
the
Line
of
Preferment
.
This
Sir
Thomas
was
first
Servant
and
Favourite
to
the
Duke
of
Somerset
,
and
afterwards
Secretary
of
State
to
Queen
Elizabeth
,
and
a
grand
Benefactor
to
both
Universities
.
Anno
1577
,
when
that
excellent
Act
passed
,
whereby
it
was
provided
,
That
a
third
part
of
the
Rent
upon
Leases
made
by
Colledges
,
should
be
reserved
in
Corn
,
paying
it
either
in
kind
or
in
money
,
after
the
rate
of
the
best
prices
in
Oxford
or
Cambridge
-
markets
,
the
next
Market-days
before
Michaelmas
or
our
Lady-day
:
For
the
passing
of
this
Act
,
Sir
Thomas
Smith
surprized
the
House
;
and
whereas
many
conceived
not
the
difference
between
the
payment
of
Rents
in
Corn
or
Money
,
the
knowing
Patriot
took
the
advantage
of
the
present
cheap
year
,
knowing
that
hereafter
Grain
would
grow
dearer
,
Man-kinde
dayly
multiplying
,
and
License
being
lately
given
for
Transportation
;
so
that
now
when
the
Universities
have
least
Corn
,
they
have
most
Bread
.
What
his
foresight
did
now
for
the
University
,
his
reach
did
the
first
year
of
Q.
Eliz.
for
the
Kingdome
:
for
the
first
sitting
of
her
Council
he
advised
twelve
most
important
things
for
the
publick
safety
.
1.
That
the
Ports
should
be
shut
.
2.
That
the
Tower
of
London
should
be
secured
in
good
hands
.
3.
That
the
Deputy
of
Ireland's
Commission
should
be
renewed
and
enlarged
.
4.
That
all
Officers
should
act
.
5.
That
no
new
Office
should
be
bestowed
in
a
moneth
.
6.
That
Ministers
should
meddle
with

(
knowing
that
they
could
not
dispute
without
leave
from
the

,
and
so
would
disparage
their
Cause
;
yet
they
could
not

but
they
might
dispute
for
the
Queen
,
and
so
satisfie
the
People

and
Sir

Smith
eight
to
whom
the
management
of
it
was
intrusted
.
There
you
might
see
him
a
Leading
man
among
the
States-men
,
here
most
eminent
among
Divines
;
at
once
the
most
knowing
and
pious
man
of
that
Age.
As
his
Industry
was
taken
up
with
the
establishment
of
our
Affairs
at
home
,
so
his
Watchfulness
(
upon
Sir
Edward
Carnes
deposition
of
his
Embassie
)
was
intent
upon
the
plots
of
France
and
Rome
abroad
:
in
the
first
of
which
places
he
made
a
Secretary
his
own
,
and
in
the
second
a
Cup-bearer
.
At
the
Treaty
of
Cambray
my
Lord
Howard
of
Effingham
,
the
Lord
Chamberlain
,
and
he
,
brought
the
King
of
Spain
to
the
English
side
in
the
business
of
Calice
:
1.
That
France
might
be
weakened
:
2.
That
his
Netherlands
might
be
secured
:
3.
That
the
Queen
his
Sweet-heart
might
be
obliged
,
until
he
discovered
Queen
Elizabeths
averseness
to
the
marriage
:
whereupon
had
it
not
been
for
the
Viscount
Mountacute
(
who
was
not
so
much
a
Papist
as
to
forget
that
he
was
an
English-man
)
and
Sir
Thomas
,
the
Spaniard
had
stoln
over
Catharine
Grey
,
Queen
Elizabeths
Neece
,
for
a
pretence
to
the
Crown
,
as
the
French
had
the
Queen
of
Scots
her
Cozen.
After
which
,
he
and
Sir
William
Cecil
advised
her
Majesty
to
that
private
Treaty
apart
,
without
the
Spaniard
,
which
was
concluded
1559
;
as
much
to
the
bonour
of
England
,
now
no
longer
to
truckle
under
Spain
,
as
its
interest
,
no
longer
in
danger
from
France
.
Sir
Nicholas
Throgmorton
was
the
Metal
in
these
Treaties
,
and
Sir
Thomas
Smith
the
Allay
:
the
ones
mildness
being
to
mitigate
that
animosity
which
the
others
harshness
had
begot
;
and
the
others
spirit
to
recover
those
advantages
which
this
mans
easiness
had
yeilded
.
Yet
he
shewed
himself
as
much
a
man
in
demanding
,
as
Sir
William
Cheyney
in
gaining
Calice
;
replying
smartly
upon
Chancellour
Hospitals
Discourse
of
ancient
Right
,
the
late

At
Cambray
.
Treaty
;
and
upon
Montmorency's
Harangue
of
Fears
,
Conscience
.
Pitying
the
neglected
state
of
Ireland
,
he
obtained
a
Colony
to
be
planted
under
his
base
Son
in
the
East-Coast
of
Ulster
,
called
Ardes
,
at
once
to
civilize
and
secure
that
place
.
So
eminent
was
this
Gentleman
for
his
Learning
,
that
he
was
at
once
Steward
of
the
Stannaries
,
Dean
of
Carlisle
,
and
Provost
of
Eaton
in
King
Edward's
time
,
and
had
a
Pension
(
on
condition
he
went
not
beyond
Sea
,
so
considerable
he
was
!
)
in
Queen
Mary's
.
Well
he
deserved
of
the
Commonwealth
of
Learning
by
his
Books
;
1.
Of
The
Commonwealth
of
England
,
2.
Of
The
Orthography
of
the
English
Tongue
,
and
of
the
Pronunciation
of

;
and

exact
Commentary
of
matters

Observations
on
the
Lives
of
Dr.
Dale
,
the
Lord
North
,
Sir
Thomas
Randolph
.
I
Put
these
Gentlemen
together
in
my
Observations
,
because
I
finde
them
so
in
their
Employments
:
the
one
Agent
,
the
other
Leiger
,
and
the
third
Extraordinary
Embassador
in
France
;
the
first
was
to
manage
our
Intelligence
in
those
dark
times
,
the
second
to
urge
our
Interest
in
those
troublesome
days
,
and
the
third
to
represent
our
Grandeur
.
No
man
understood
the
French
correspondence
with
the
Scots
better
then
Sir
Thomas
Randolph
,
who
spent
his
active
life
between
those
Kingdomes
:
none
knew
better
our
Concerns
in
France
and
Spain
then
Valentine
Dale
,
who
had
now
seen
six
Treaties
;
in
the
first
three
whereof
he
had
been
Secretary
,
and
in
the
last
a
Commissioner
:
None
fitter
to
represent
out
state
then
my
Lord
North
,
who
had
been
two
years
in
Walsinghams
house
,
four
in
Leicesters
service
;
had
seen
six
Courts
,
twenty
Battles
,
nine
Treaties
,
and
four
solemn
Justs
;
whereof
he
was
no
mean
part
,
as
a
reserved
man
,
a
valiant
Souldier
,
and
a
Courtly
Person
.
So
sly
was
Dale
,
that
he
had
a
servant
always
attending
the
Queen-mother
of
France
,
the
Queen
of
Scots
,
and
the
King
of
Navarre
:
so
watchful
Sir
Thomas
Randolph
,
that
the
same
day
he
sent
our
Agent
in
Scotland
notice
of
a
designe
to
carry
over
the
young
King
,
and
depose
the
Regent
,
he
advised
our
Queen
of
a
Match
between
the
King
of
Scot's
Uncle
and
the
Countess
of
Shrewsbury's
Daughter
;
and
gave
the
Earl
of
Huntington
,
then
President
of
the
North
,
those
secret
instructions
touching
that
matter
,
that
(
as
my
Lord
Burleigh
would
often
acknowledge
)
secured
that
Coast
.
My
L.
North
watched
the
successes
of
France
,
Dr.
Dale
their
Leagues
;
and
both
took
care
that
the
Prince
of
Orange
did
not
throw
himself
upon
the
Protection
of
France
,
always
a
dangerous
Neighbour
,
but
with
that
accession
a
dreadful
one
.
Sir
John
Horsey
in
Holland
proposed
much
,
but
did
nothing
;
Sir
Thomas
Randolph
in
France
performed
much
,
and
said
nothing
:
yet
both
with
Dr.
Dales
assistance
made
France
and
Spain
the
Scales
in
the
balance
of
Europe
,
and
England
the
tongue
or
holder
of
the
balance
,
while
they
held
the
Spaniard
in
play
in
the
Netherlands
,
watched
the
French
Borders
,
and
kept
constant
Agents
with
Orange
and
Don
John
.
Neither
was
Sir
Thomas
less
in
Scotland
then
in
France
,
where
he
betakes
himself
first
to
resolution
in
his
Protestation
,
and
then
to
cunning
in
his
Negotiation
;
encouraging
Morton
on
the
one
hand
,
and
amusing
Lenox
on
the
other
;
keeping
fair
weather
with
the
young
King
,
and
yet
practising
with
Marre
and
Anguse
.
Nothing
plausible
indeed
,
saith
Cambden
,
was
he
with
the
wise
,
though
youthful
King
James
;
yet
very
dexterous
in
Scotish
humours
,
and
very
prudent
in
the
Northern
Affairs
;
very
well
seen
in
those
interests
,
and
as
successful
in
those
Negotiations
;
witness
the
first
and
advantageous
League
1586.

Motto

Affronts
;
Video
&
Taceo
,
was
Queen
Elizabeths
;
Video
nec
vident
,
was
Sir
Thomas
Randolphs
.
These
three
men
treated
with
the
Spaniard
near
Ostend
for
Peace
,
while
the
Spaniard
prepared
himself
on
our
Coast
for
War
.
So
much
did
Sir
James
Crofts
his
affection
for
Peace
exceed
his
judgement
of
his
Instruction
,
that
he
would
needs
steal
over
to
Brussels
to
make
it
,
with
no
less
commendation
for
the
prudent
Articles
he
proposed
,
then
censure
for
the
hazard
he
incurred
in
the
Proposal
.
So
equal
and
even
did
old
Dale
carry
himself
,
that
the
Duke
of
Parma
saw
in
his
Answers
the
English
spirit
,
and
therefore
(
saith
my
Author
)
durst
not
try
that
Valour
in
a
Nation
,
which
he
was
so
afraid
of
in
a
single
person
;
That
he
had
no
more
to
say
to
the
old
Gentleman
,
then
onely
this
,
These
things
are
in
the
hand
of
the
Almighty
.
None
more
inward
with
other
men
then
Sir
Francis
Walsingham
,
none
more
inward
with
him
then
Sir
Thomas
Randolph
:
well
studied
he
was
in
Justinians
Code
,
better
in
Machiavils
Discourses
;
both
when
a
learned
Student
of
Christ-church
,
and
a
worthy
Principal
of
Broadgates
:
thrice
therefore
was
he
an
Embassadour
to
the
Lords
of
Scotland
in
a
Commotion
;
thrice
to
Queen
Mary
in
times
of
Peace
;
seven
times
to
James
the
sixth
of
Scotland
for
a
good
understanding
;
and
thrice
to
Basilides
Emperour
of
Russia
for
Trade
:
Once
to
Charles
the
ninth
King
of
France
,
to
discover
his
designe
upon
Scotland
;
and
once
to
Henry
the
third
,
to
open
a
Conspiracy
of
his
Subjects
against
him
:
Great
Services
these
,
but
meanly
rewarded
;
the
serviceable
,
but
moderate
and
modest
man
,
(
though
he
had
as
many
children
at
home
as
he
had
performed
Embassies
abroad
)
being
contented
with
the
Chamberlainship
of
the
Exchequer
,
and
the
Postermasters
place
;
the
first
but
a
name
,
and
the
second
then
but
a
noyse
:
to
which
were
added
some
small
Farms
,
wherein
he
enjoyed
the
peace
and
innocence
of
a
quiet
and
retired
Life
;
a
Life
,
which
upon
the
reflexions
of
a
tender
Conscience
,
he
wished
a
great
while
,
as
appears
by
his
Letters
to
his
dear
Walsingham
,
wherein
he
writes
,
How
worthy
,
yea
,
how
necessary
a
thing
it
was
,
that
they
should
at
length
bid
Farewel
to
the
snares
,
be
of
a
Secretary
,
and
himself
of
an
Embassadour
;
and
should
both
of
them
set
their
mindes
upon
their
Heavenly
Country
;
and
by
Repenting
,
ask
Mercy
of
GOD.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Amias
Poulet
.
SIr
Amias
Poulet
,
born
at
Hinton
St.
George
in
Somersetshire
,
Son
to
Sir
Hugh
,
and
Grand-childe
to
Sir
[
](A48796-e67400-b)*
*
Who
put
Cardinal
Wolsey
,
then
but
a
Schoolmaster
,
in
the
Stocks
.
Amias
Poulet
,
was
Chancellour
of
the
Garter
,
Governour
of
the
Isles
of
Jersey
and
Gernsey
,
and
Privy-Councellour
to
Queen
Elizabeth
.
He
was
so
faithful
and
trusty
,
that
the
Queen
committed
the
keeping
of
Mary
Queen
of
Scots
to
his
custody
,
which
he
discharged
with
great
fidelity
.
As
Caesar
would
have
his
Wife
,
so
he
his
Spirit
,
above
the
very
suspicion
of
unworthiness
;
equally
consulting
his
Fame
and
his
Conscience
.
When
he
performed
his
last
Embassie
,
with
no
less
satisfaction
to
the
King
of
France
,
then
honour
to
the
Queen
of
England
,
(
at
once
with
a
good
humor
and
a
great
state
)
he
would
not
accept
a
Chain
(
and
all
Gifts
are
Chains
)
from
that
King
by
any
means
,
until
he
was
a
League
from
Paris
:
then
he
took
it
,
because
he
would
oblige
that
Prince
;
and
not
till
then
,
because
he
would
not
be
obliged
by
any
but
his
Soveraign
,
saying
,
I
will
wear
no
Chains
but
my
Mistresses
.
It
is
the
Interest
of
Princes
,
that
their
Servants
Fortune
should
be
above
the
temptation
;
it
is
their
happiness
,
that
their
Spirits
are
above
the
respects
of
a
private
concern
.
Observations
on
the
Lives
of
Sir
James
Crofts
,
John
Grey
of
Pyrgo
,
Sir
Henry
Gates
.
EMblems
of
Honour
derived
from
Ancestors
,
are
but
rotten
Rags
,
where
ignoble
Posterity
degenerates
from
their
Progenitors
:
but
they
are
both
glorious
and
precious
where
the
children
both
answer
and
exceed
the
Vertues
of
their
extraction
;
as
in
these
three
Gentlemen
,
whose
Ancestors
fill
both
Pages
of
former
Kings
Chronicles
,
as
they
do
the
Annals
of
Queen
Elizabeth
:
Three
Gentlemen
whom
it's
pity
to
part
in
their
Memoires
,
since
they
were
always
together
in
their
Employments
.
All
three
were
like
to
die
in
Queen
Mary's
days
for
the
profession
of
the
Protestant
Religion
,
all
three
spending
their
Lives
in
Queen
Elizabeth's
for
the
propagation
of
it
:
1.
Sir
Henry
Gates
lying
in
Rome
as
a
Spy
,
under
the
Notion
of
Cardinal
Florido's
Secretary
,
six
years
;
John
Grey
drawing
up
the
whole
Proceedings
and
Methods
of
the
Reformation
for
ten
years
;
and
Sir
James
Crofts
being
either
the
vigilant
and
active
Governour
of
Berwick
,
or
the
prudent
and
successful
Commissioner
in
Scotland
for
seven
years
.
When
the
French
threatned
us
by
the
way
of
Scotland
,
the
Earl
of
Northumberland
was
sent
Northward
for
his
interest
,
as
Warden
of
the
middle
March
;
Sir
Ralph
Sadler
for
his
wisdome
,
as
his
Assistant
and
Councellour
;
and
Sir
James
Crofts
for
his
Conduct
,
as
both
their
Guide
and
Director-general
.
An
Estate
in
the
Purse
,
credits
the
Court
;
Wisdome
in
the
Head
,
adorneth
it
;
but
both
in
the
Hand
,
serve
it
.
Nobly
did
he
and
Cutbbert
Vaughan
beat
the
French
that
sallied
out
of
Edinburgh
into
their
Trenches
,
but
unhappily
stood
he
an
idle
Spectator
in
his
quarter
the
next
Scalado
,
while
the
English
are
overthrown
,
and
the
Duke
writes
of
his
infidelity
to
the
Queen
,
who
discharged
him
from
his
Place
,
though
not
from
her
favour
:
for
in
stead
of
the
more
troublesome
Place
,
the
Government
of
Berwick
,
she
conferred
on
him
that
more
honourable
,
the
Controllership
of
her
Houshold
.
Great
Service
did
his
Valour
at
Hadington
in
Scotland
against
the
French
,
greater
his
Prudence
in
Vlster
against
the
Spaniards
.
Although
his
Merit
made
his
Honour
due
to
him
,
and
his
Blood
becoming
:
though
his
Cares
,
Travels
and
Dangers
deserved
pity
;
his
quiet
and
meek
Nature
love
:
though
he
rise
by
wary
degrees
,
and
so
was
unobserved
;
and
stood
not
insolently
when
up
,
and
so
was
not
obnoxious
:
yet
Envy
reflected
as
hot
upon
him
as
the
Sun
upon
the
rising
ground
,
which
stands
firm
though
it
doth
not
flourish
,
as
this
Gentleman
's
resolved
Honesty
did
;
overcoming
Court-envy
with
a
solid
worth
;
waxing
old
at
once
in
years
and
reverence
,
and
dying
(
as
the
Chronicle
wherein
he
dieth
not
but
with
Time
,
reports
it
)
in
good
favour
with
his
Prince
,
and
sound
reputation
with
all
men
,
for
three
infallible
sources
of
Honour
:
1.
That
he
aimed
at
Merit
more
then
Fame
:
2.
That
he
was
not
a
Follower
,
but
an
Example
in
great
Actions
:
and
,
3.
That
he
assisted
in
the
three
great
Concerns
of
Government
,
1.
in
Laws
,
2.
in
Arms
,
and
3.
in
Councils
.
In
Aesop
there
is
a
slight
Fable
of
a
deep
Moral
:
it
is
this
:
Two
Frogs
consulted
together
in
the
time
of
Drowth
(
when
many
plashes
that
they
had
repaired
to
were
dry
)
what
was
to
be
done
;
and
the
one
propounded
to
go
down
into
a
deep
Well
,
because
it
was
like
the
water
would
not
fail
there
:
but
the
other
answered
,
Yea
,
but
if
it
do
fail
,
bow
shall
we
get
up
again
?
Mr.
Grey
would
Nod
,
and
say
,
Humane
affairs
are
so
uncertain
,
that
he
seemeth
the
wisest
man
,
not
who
hath
a
spirit
to
go
on
,
but
who
hath
a
wariness
to
come
off
;
and
that
seems
the
best
course
,
that
hath
most
passages
out
of
it
.
Sir
James
Crofts
on
the
other
hand
hated
that
irresolution
that
would
do
nothing
,
because
it
may
be
at
liberty
to
do
any
thing
.
Indeed
,
saith
one
,
Necessity
hath
many
times
an
advantage
,
because
it
awaketh
the
powers
of
the
minde
,
and
strengtheneth
Endeavour
.
Sir
James
Crofts
was
an
equal
Composition
of
both
;
as
one
that
had
one
fixed
eye
on
his
Action
,
and
another
indifferent
one
on
his
retreat
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
William
Lord
Grey
of
Wilton
.
THat
great
Souldier
and
good
Christian
,
in
whom
Religion
was
not
a
softness
,
(
as
Machiavil
discourseth
)
but
a
resolution
.
Hannibal
was
sworn
an
Enemy
to
Rome
at
nine
years
of
Age
,
and
my
Lord
bred
one
to
France
at
fourteen
.
Scipio's
first
service
was
the
rescue
of
his
Father
in
Italy
,
and
my
Lord
Grey's
was
the
safety
of
his
Father
in
Germany
.
He
had
Fabius
his
slow
way
,
and
long
reach
,
with
Herennius
his
fine
Polices
,
and
neat
Ambuscadoes
;
having
his
two
Companions
always
by
him
,
his
Map
and
his
Guide
:
the
first
whereof
discovered
to
him
his
more
obvious
advantages
,
and
the
second
his
more
close
dangers
.
His
great
Conduct
won
him
much
esteem
with
those
that
heard
of
him
,
and
his
greater
presence
more
with
those
that
saw
him
.
Observable
his
Civility
to
Strangers
,
eminent
his
Bounty
to
his
Followers
;
obliging
his
Carriage
in
the
Countries
he
marched
through
,
and
expert
his
Skill
in
Wars
,
whose
end
he
said
was
Victory
,
and
the
end
of
Victory
Nobleness
,
made
up
of
pity
and
munificence
.
It
lost
him
his
Estate
to
redeem
himself
in
France
,
and
his
Life
to
bear
up
his
Reputation
in
Berwick
.
Having
lived
to
all
the
great
purposes
of
life
but
Self-interest
,
he
died
1563
,
that
fatal
year
;
no
less
to
the
publick
sorrow
of
England
which
he
secured
,
then
the
common
joy
of
Scotland
,
which
he
awed
.
Then
it
was
said
,
That
the
same
day
died
the
greatest
Scholar
,
and
the
greatest
Souldier
of
the
Nobility
;
the
right
honourable
Henry
Manners
Earl
of
Rutland
in
his
Gown
,
and
the
honourable
Lord
Grey
in
his
Armour
;
both
,
as
the
Queen
said
of
them
,
Worthies
that
had
deserved
well
of
the
Commonwealth
by
their
Wisdome
,
Counsel
,
Integrity
and
Courage
.
Two
things
my
Lord
always
avoided
:
the
first
,
To
give
many
Reasons
for
one
thing
;
the
heaping
of
Arguments
arguing
a
neediness
in
every
of
the
Arguments
by
its
self
;
as
if
one
did
not
trust
any
of
them
,
but
fled
from
one
to
another
,
helping
himself
still
with
the
last
.
The
second
,
To
break
a
Negotiation
to
too
many
distinct
particulars
,
or
to
couch
it
in
too
compact
generals
:
by
the
first
whereof
we
give
the
parties
we
deal
with
an
opportunity
to
look
down
to
the
bottom
of
our
business
;
and
by
the
second
,
to
look
round
to
the
compass
of
it
.
Happy
are
those
Souls
that
command
themselves
so
far
,
that
they
are
equally
free
to
full
and
half
discoveries
of
themselves
,
always
ready
and
pliable
to
the
present
occasion
.
Not
much
regarded
was
this
gallant
Spirit
when
alive
,
but
much
missed
when
dead
:
we
understand
what
we
want
,
better
then
what
we
enjoy
;
and
the
beauty
of
worthy
things
is
not
in
the
face
,
but
the
back-side
,
endearing
more
by
their
departure
then
their
address
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Edmund
Plowden
.
EDmund
Plowden
was
born
at
Plowden
in
Shrop-shire
;
one
who
excellently
deserved
of
our
Municipal
Law
in
his
learned
Writings
thereon
.
A
plodding
and
a
studious
man
;
and
no
wonder
if
knowing
and
able
:
Beams
in
reflexion
are
hottest
,
and
the
Soul
becomes
wise
by
looking
into
its
self
.
But
see
the
man
in
his
Epitaph
!

I
have
the
rather
inserted
this
Epitaph
inscribed
on
his
Monument
on
the
North-side
of
the
East-end
of
the
Quire
of
Temple-Church
in
London
,
because
it
hath
escaped
(
but
by
what
casualty
I
cannot
conjecture
)
Master
Stow
in
his
Survey
of
London
.
We
must
adde
a
few
words
out
of
the
Character
Mr.
Cambden
gives
of
him
:
Vitae

inter
bomines
suae

nu
〈…〉
His
Eliz.
1584.
secundum
.
As
he
was
singularly
well
learned
in
the
Common
Laws
of
England
,
whereof
he
deserved
well
by
writing
;
so
for
integrity
of
life
he
was
second
to
none
of
his
profession
.
And
how
excellent
a
Medley
is
made
,
when
Honesty
and
Ability
mee
in
a
man
of
his
Profession
!
Nor
must
we
forget
how
he
was
Treasurer
for
the
honourable
Society
of
the
Middle-Temple
,
Anno
1572
,
when
their
magnificent
Hall
was
builded
;
he
being
a
great
Advancer
thereof
.
Finding
the
Coyn
embased
by
Henry
the
eighth
,
so
many
ways
prejudicial
to
thier
State
,
as
that
which
first
dishonoured
us
abroad
;
secondly
,
gave
way
to
the
frauds
of
Coyners
at
home
who
exchanged
the
best
Commodities
of
the
Land
for
base
Moneys
,
and
exported
the
current
money
;
into
Forreign
parts
;
and
thirdly
,
enhansed
the
prizes
of
all
things
vendible
,
to
the
great
loss
of
all
Stipendiaries
:
He
offered
,
1.
That
no
man
should
melt
any
Metal
,
or
export
it
:
2.
That
the
Brass-money
should
be
reduced
to
its
just
value
:
3.
That
it
should
be
bought
for
good
;
by
which
silent
and
just
methods
,
that
defect
of
our
Government
for
many
years
was
remedied
in
few
moneths
,
without
any
noise
,
or
(
what
is
proper
to
alterations
of
this
nature
)
discontent
.
The
middle
Region
of
the
Air
is
coolest
,
as
most
distant
from
the
direct
beams
that
warm
the
highest
,
and
the
reflexed
that
heat
the
lowest
:
the
mean
man
,
that
is
as
much
below
the
favour
of
the
Court
,
as
above
the
business
of
the
Country
,
was
in
our
Judges
opinion
the
most
happy
and
composed
man
;
this
being
the
utmost
of
a
knowing
mans
wish
in
England
,
That
he
were
as
much
out
of
the
reach
of
contempt
,
as
to
be
above
a
Constable
;
and
as
much
out
of
the
compass
of
trouble
,
as
to
be
below
a
Justice
.
A
Mean
is
the
utmost
that
can
be
prescribed
either
of
Vertue
or
Bliss
,
as
in
our
Actions
,
so
in
our
State
.
Great
was
the
Capacity
,
and
good
the
Inclination
of
this
Man
;
large
the
Furniture
,
and
happy
the
Culture
of
his
Soul
;
grave
his
Meen
,
and
stately
his
Behaviour
;
well-regulated
his
Affections
,
and
allayed
his
Passions
;
well-principled
his
Mind
,
and
well-set
his
Spirit
;
solid
his
Observation
,
working
and
practical
his
Judgement
:
and
as
that
Romane
Heroe
was
more
eminent
whose
image
was
missing
,
then
all
the
rest
whose
Portraictures
were
set
up
;
so
this
accomplished
Gentleman
is
more
observable
because
he
was
not
a
States-man
,
then
some
of
those
that
were
so
.
There
is
a
glory
in
the
obscurity
of
worthy
men
,
who
as
that
Sun
(
which
they
equal
as
well
in
common
influence
as
lustre
)
are
most
looked
on
when
eclipsed
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Roger
Manwood
.
SIr
Roger
Manwood
born
at
Sandwich
in
Kent
,
attained
to
such
eminency
in
the
Common
Law
,
that
he
was
preferred
second
Justice
of
the
Common
Pleas
by
Queen
Elizabeth
:
which
Place
he
discharged
with
so
much
Ability
and
Integrity
,
that
not
long
after
he
was
made
chief
Baron
of
the
Exchequer
:
which
Office
he
most
wisely
managed
,
to
his
great
commendation
,
full
fourteen
years
,
to
the
day
of
his
death
.
Much
was
he
employed
in
matters
of
State
,
and
was
one
of
the
Commissioners
who
sate
on
the
tryal
of
the
Queen
of
Scots
.
He
wrote
a
Book
on
the
Forest-Laws
,
which
is
highly
prized
by
men
of
his
Profession
.
In
vacation-time
he
constantly
inhabited
at
St.
Stephens
in
Canterbury
,
and
was
bounteously
liberal
to
the
poor
Inhabitants
thereof
:
and
so
charitable
was
he
,
that
he
erected
and
endowed
a
fair
Free-school
at
Sandwich
,
dying
in
the
35
of
Queen
Elizabeth
,
anno
Dom.
1593.
Cloaths
for
necessity
,
warm
Cloaths
for
health
,
cleanly
for
decency
,
lasting
for
strength
,
was
his
Maxime
and
Practice
,
who
kept
a
State
in
decent
plainness
;
insomuch
that
Queen
Elizabeth
called
him
her
Good-man-Judge
.
In
Davison's
Case
,
Mildmay
cleared
the
man
of
malice
,
but
taxed
him
with
unskilfulness
and
rashness
:
Lumley
said
he
was
an
ingenuous
and
an
honest
man
,
but
presumptuous
.
I
will
ever
esteem
him
an
honest
and
good
man
,
said
Grey
.
The
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
approved
the
fact
,
commended
the
man
,
but
disallowed
of
the
manner
and
form
of
his
proceedings
.
Manwood
made
a
narrative
of
the
Queen
of
Scots
proceedings
,
confirmed
the
sentence
against
her
,
extolled
the
Queens
clemency
,
pitied
Davison
,
and
fined
him
10000
l.
A
man
he
was
of
a
pale
constitution
,
but
a
clear
,
even
,
and
smooth
temper
;
of
a
pretty
solid
consistence
,
equally
sanguine
and
flegmatique
:
of
a
quiet
soul
,
and
serene
affections
:
of
a
discreet
sweetness
,
and
moderate
manners
;
slow
in
passion
,
and
quick
enough
in
apprehension
;
wary
in
new
points
,
and
very
fixed
and
judicious
in
the
old
.
A
plausible
,
insinuating
,
and
fortunate
man
;
the
Idea
of
a
wise
man
;
having
(
what
that
elegant
Educator
wisheth
)
that
great
habit
which
is
nothing
else
but
a
promptness
and
plentifulness
in
the
flore-house
of
the
mind
,
of
clear
imaginations
well
fixed
:
which
was
promised
in
his
erect
and
forward
stature
,
his
large
breast
,
his
round
and
capacious
forehead
,
his
curious
and
observing
eye
,
(
the
clear
and
smart
argument
of
his
clearer
and
quicker
soul
,
which
owned
a
liveliness
equally
far
from
volatileness
and
stupidity
)
his
steady
attention
and
his
solid
memory
,
together
with
what
is
most
considerable
,
a
grand
Inclination
to
imitate
and
excel
.
What
Plutarch
saith
of
Timoleon
with
reference
to
Epaminond
,
that
we
may
say
of
this
Gentleman
,
That
his
Life
and
Actions
are
like
Homer's
Verses
,
smooth
and
flowing
,
equal
and
happy
:
especially
in
the
two
grand
Embelishments
of
our
Nature
,
Friendship
and
Charity
.
〈◊〉
.
Friendship
,
that
sacred
thing
whereof
he
was
a
passionate
Lover
,
and
an
exact
Observer
,
promoting
it
among
all
men
he
conversed
with
.
Surely
there
is
not
that
Content
on
Earth
like
the
Union
of
Minds
and
Interests
,
whereby
we
enjoy
our selves
by
reflexion
in
our
Friend
;
it
being
the
most
dreadful
Solitude
and
Wildness
of
Nature
,
to
be
friendless
.
But
his
Friendship
was
a
contracted
beam
to
that
Sun
of
Charity
,
that
blessed
all
about
him
.
His
Salary
was
not
more
fixed
then
his
Charity
;
He
and
the
Poor
had
one
Revenue
,
one
Quarter-day
:
In
stead
of
hiding
his
face
from
the
Poor
,
it
was
his
practice
to
seek
for
them
;
laying
out
by
Trustees
for
Pensioners
,
either
hopeful
or
indigent
,
whereof
he
had
a
Catalogue
that
made
the
best
Comment
upon
that
Text
,
The
liberal
man
deviseth
liberal
things
.
This
is
the
best
Conveyance
that
ever
Lawyer
made
,
To
have
and
to
hold
to
him
and
his
Heirs
for
ever
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Christopher
Wray
.
SIr
Christopher
Wray
was
born
in
the
spacious
Parish
of
Bedal
,
the
main
motive
which
made
his
Daughter
Francis
,
Countess
of
Warwick
,
scatter
her
Benefactions
the
thicker
in
that
place
.
He
was
bred
in
the
study
of
our
Municipal
Law
;
and
such
his
Proficiency
therein
,
that
in
the
sixteenth
of
Queen
Elizabeth
,
in
Michaelmas-Term
,
he
was
made
Lord
Chief
Justice
of
the
Kings
Bench.
He
was
not
like
that
Judge
,
who
feared
neither
God
nor
man
,
but
onely
one
Widow
,
(
lest
her
importunity
should
weary
him
;
)
but
he
heartily
feared
God
in
his
religious
Conversation
.
Each
man
he
respected
with
his
due
distance
off
of
the
Bench
,
and
no
man
on
it
to
byass
his
Judgement
.
He
was
pro
tempore
,
Lord
Privy
Seal
,
and
sat
Chief
in
the
Court
when
Secretary
Davison
was
sentenced
in
the
Star-Chamber
.
Sir
Christopher
collecting
the
censures
of
all
the
Commissioners
,
concurred
to
Fine
him
:
but
with
this
comfortable
conclusion
,
That
,
as
it
was
in
the
Queens
Power
to
have
him
punished
;
so
,
Her
Highness
might
be
prevailed
with
for
mitigating
or
remitting
of
the
Fine
:
and
this
our
Judge
may
be
presumed
no
ill
Instrument
in
the
procuring
thereof
.
He
bountifully
reflected
on
Magdalen-Colledge
in
Cambridge
;
which
Infant-foundation
had
otherwise
been
starved
at
Nurse
for
want
of
Maintenance
.
We
know
who
saith
,
The
righteous
man
leaveth
an
inheritance
to
his
childrens
children
;
and
the
well-thriving
of
his
third
Generation
,
may
be
an
evidence
of
his
well-gotten
Goods
.
This
worthy
Judge
died
May
the
eighth
,
in
the
thirty
fourth
of
Queen
Elizabeth
.
When
Judge
Mounson
and
Mr.
Dalton
urged
in
Stubs
his
Case
,
(
that
Writ

Queen
Elizabeth's
marriage

the
Duke
of
Anjou
)
That
the
Act
of
Philip
and
Mary
against
the
Authors
and
sowers
of
seditious
Writings
was
mis-timed
,
and
that
it
died
with
Queen
Mary
;
my
Lord
Chief
Justice
Wray
,
upon
whom
the
Queen
relied
in
that
case
,
shewed
there
was
no
mistaking
in
the
noting
of
the
time
;
and
proved
by
the
words
of
the
Act
,
that
the
Act
was
made
against
those
which
should
violate
the
King
by
seditious
writing
;
and
that
the
King
of
England
never

Five
Particulars
I
have
heard
old
men
say
he
was
choice
in
:
1.
His
Friend
,
which
was
always
wise
and
equal
;
2.
His
Wife
;
3.
His
Book
;
4.
His
Secret
;
5.
His
Expression
and
Garb.
By
four
things
he
would
say
an
Estate
was
kept
:
1.
By
understanding
it
;
2.
By
spending
not
until
it
comes
;
3.
By
keeping
old
Servants
;
4.
By
a
Quarterly
Audit
.
The
properties
of
Infancy
,
is
Innocence
;
of
Child-hood
,
Reverence
;
of
Manhood
,
Maturity
;
and
of
Old
Age
,
Wisdome
:
Wisdome
!
that
in
this
grave
Person
acted
all
its
brave
parts
;
i.
e.
was
mindful
of
what
is
past
,
observant
of
things
present
,
and
provident
for
things
to
come
.
No
better
instance
whereof
need
be
alledged
then
his
pathetick
Discourses
in
the
behalf
of
those
two
great
Stays
of
this
Kingdome
,
Husbandry
and
Merchandize
:
for
he
had
a
clear
discerning
Judgement
,
and
that
not
onely
in
points
of
Law
,
which
yet
his
Arguments
and
Decisions
in
that
Profession
manifest
without
dispute
;
but
in
matters
of
Policy
and
Government
,
wherein
his
Guess
was
usually
as
near
Prophecy
as
any
mans
:
as
also
in
the
little
mysteries
of
private
manage
,
by
which
upon
occasion
he
hath
unravelled
the
studied
cheats
and
intrigues
of
the
Closet-men
:
to
which
when
you
adde
his
happy
faculty
of
communicating
himself
,
by
a
free
and
graceful
elocution
,
to
charm
and
command
his
Audience
,
assisted
by
the
attractive
dignity
of
his
presence
,
you
will
not
admire
that
he
managed
his
Justiceship
with
so
much
satisfaction
to
the
Court
,
and
that
he
left
it
with
so
much
applause
from
the
Country
:
for
these
two
Peculiarities
he
had
,
That
none
was
more
tender
to
the
Poor
,
or
more
civil
in
private
;
and
yet
none
more
stern
to
the
Rich
,
I
mean
Justices
of
Peace
,
Officers
,
&c.
or
more
severe
in
publick
.
He
delighted
indeed
to
be
loved
,
not
reverenced
:
yet
knew
he
very
well
how
to
assert
the
Dignity
of
his
Place
and
Function
from
the
Approaches
of
Contempt
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Earl
of
Worcester
.
THe
Lord
of
Worcester
,
(
a
no
mean
Favourite
)
was
of
the
ancient
and
noble
Blood
of
the
Beauforts
,
and
of
the
Queens
Grandfathers
line
by
the
Mother
;
which
she
could
never
forget
,
especially
where
there
was
a
concurrency
of
old
Blood
with
Fidelity
,
a
mixture
which
ever
sorted
with
the
Queens
Nature
.
He
was
first
made
Master
of
the
Horse
,
and
then
admitted
of
her
Council
of
State
.
In
his
Youth
(
part
whereof
he
spent
before
he
came
to
reside
at
Court
)
he
was
a
very
fine
Gentleman
,
and
the
best
Horse-man
and
Tilter
of
the
Times
,
which
were
then
the
manlike
and
noble
recreations
of
the
Court
:
and
when
years
had
abated
these
exercises
of
Honour
,
he
grew
then
to
be
a
faithful
and
profound
Counsellour
.
He
was
the
last
Liver
of
all
the
Servants
of
her
favour
,
and
had
the
honour
to
see
his
renowned
Mistress
,
and
all
of
them
laid
in
the
places
of
their
rest
;
and
for
himself
,
after
a
life
of
a
very
noble
and
remarkable
reputation
,
he
died
in
a
peaceable
Old
Age
,
full
of
Riches
and
Honour
.
His
Fathers
temperance
reached
to
97
years
of
Age
,
because
he
never
eat
but
one
Meal
a
day
;
and
his
sparingness
attained
to
84
,
because
he
never
eat
but
of
one
Dish
.
He
came
to
the
Queens
favour
,
because
as
her
Father
so
she
loved
a
man
;
he
kept
in
,
because
as
her
Father
too
so
she
loved
an
able
man
.
His
Man-like
Recreations
commended
him
to
the
Ladies
,
his
prudent
Atchievments
to
the
Lords
.
He
was
made
Master
of
the
Horse
because
active
,
and
Privy
Counsellour
because
wise
:
His
Mistress
excused
his
Faith
,
which
was
Popish
;
but
honoured
his
Faithfulness
,
which
was
Roman
;
it
being
her
usual
speech
,
that
my
Lord
of
Worcester
had
reconciled
what
she
thought
inconsistent
,
a
stiff
Papist
to
a
good
subject
.
His
Religion
was
not
pompous
,
but
solid
;
not
the
shew
of
his
life
,
but
the
comfort
of
his
soul
.
A
great
Master
he
was
of
others
affections
,
and
greater
of
his
own
passions
:
many
things
displeased
,
nothing
angered
my
Lord
of
Worcester
,
whose
Maxime
was
,
That
he
would
not
be
disordered
within
himself
,
onely
because
things
were
out
of
order
without
him
:
He
had
this
Maxime
whence
he
had
his
Nature
,
from
his
prudent
Father
Sir
Charles
Somerset
,
the
first
Earl
of
Worcester
of
that
Name
,
whose
temper
was
so
pliable
,
and
nature
so
peaceable
,
that
being
asked
(
as
it
is
usually
reported
of
him
)
How
he
passed
so
troublesome
a
Reign
as
King
Henry's
,
so
uncertain
as
King
Edward's
,
so
fierce
as
Queen
Mary's
,
and
so
unexpected
as
Queen
Elizabeth's
,
with
so
quiet
,
so
fixed
,
so
smooth
,
so
resolved
and
ready
a
mind
and
frame
?
answered
,
It
was
because
he
understood
the
Interest
of
the
Kingdome
,
while
others
observed
its
Humours
.
His
first
Publick
Service
was
to
represent
the
Grandeur
of
his
Mistress
at
the
Christening
of
the
Daulphine
of
France
,
and
his
last
the
like
at
the
marriage
of
the
King
of
Scots
,
whom
he
honoured
with
the
Garter
from
his
Mistress
,
and
advised
to
beware
of
Papists
from
the
Council
.
The
frame
of
this
Noble
Mans
body
,
(
as
it
is
delineated
by
Sir
W.
P.
)
seems
suited
to
the
Noble
use
it
was
designed
for
,
The
entertaining
of
a
most
pure
and
active
Soul
;
but
equally
to
the
advantage
of
strength
and
comeliness
,
befriended
with
all
proportionate
Dimensions
,
and
a
most
grave
,
yet
obliging
Carriage
.
There
was
a
clear
sprightfulness
in
his
Complexion
,
but
a
sad
reservedness
in
his
Nature
;
both
making
up
that
blessed
compositon
of
a
wise
and
winning
man
,
of
as
great
hardship
of
body
,
as
nobleness
of
spirit
.
Of
a
quick
sight
,
and
an
accurate
ear
;
a
steady
observation
,
and
ready
expression
;
with
the
Torrent
whereof
he
at
once
pleased
King
James
,
and
amazed
King
Henry
,
being
the
most
natural
Orator
in
the
world
.
Among
all
which
Endowments
,
I
had
almost
forgot
his
memory
,
that
was
very
faithful
to
him
in
things
and
business
,
though
not
punctilio's
and
formalities
.
Great
Parts
he
had
,
the
range
and
compass
whereof
filled
the
whole
circle
of
generous
Learning
in
that
Person
,
as
it
hath
done
in
the
following
Heroes
of
that
Family
to
this
day
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Henry
Killigrew
.
TRavellers
report
,
That
the
place
wherein
the
body
of
Absalom
was
buried
is
still
extant
at
Jerusalem
,
and
that
it
is
a
solemn
custome
of
Pilgrims
passing
by
it
to
cast
a
stone
on
the
place
:
but
a
well-disposed
man
can
hardly
go
by
the
memory
of
this
worthy
person
without
doing
gratefu●
homage
thereunto
,
in
bestowing
upon
him
one
o●
two
of
our
Observations
.
It
's
a
question
sometime●
whether
the
Diamond
gives
more
lustre
to
the
Ring
it
's
set
in
,
or
the
Ring
to
the
Diamond
:
This
Gentleman
received
honour
from
his
Family
,
and
gave
renown
to
it
.
Writing
is
the
character
of
the
speech
,
as
that
is
of
the
mind
.
From
Tully
(
whose
Orations
he
could
repeat
to
his
dying
day
)
he
gained
an
even
and
apt
stile
,
flowing
at
one
and
the
self-same
heighth
.
Tully's
Offices
,
a
Book
which
Boys
read
,
and
men
understand
,
was
so
esteemed
of
my
Lord
Burleigh
,
that
to
his
dying
day
he
always
carried
it
about
him
,
either
in
his
bosome
or
his
pocket
,
as
a
compleat
piece
that
,
like
Aristotle's
Rhetorick
,
would
make
both
a
Scholar
and
an
Honest
man
.
Cicero's
magnificent
Orations
against
Anthony
,
Catiline
and
Verres
;
Caesar's
great
Commentaries
that
he
wrote
with
the
same
spirit
that
he

;

;
grave
,
judicious
and
stately
Tacitus
;
eloquent
,
but
faithful
Curtius
;
brief
and
rich
Salust
;
prudent
and
brave
Xenophon
,
whose
Person
was
Themistocles

Companion

Book
was

Pattern

Wars
;

Thucydides
;
various
and
useful
Polybius
;
Siculus
,
Halicarnasseus
,
Trogus
,
Orosius
,
Justine
,
made
up
our
young
mans
Retinue
in
all
his
Travels
,
where
(
as
Diodorus
the
Sicilian
writes
)
he
sate
on
the
stage
of
Humane
Life
,
observing
the
great
circumstances
of
places
,
persons
,
times
,
manners
,
occasions
,
&c.
and
was
made
wise
by
their
example
who
have
trod
the
path
of
errour
and
danger
before
him
.
To
which
he
added
that
grave
,
weighty
,
and
sweet
Plutarch
,
whose
Books
(
said
Gaza
)
would
furnish
the
world
,
were
all
others
lost
.
Neither
was
he
amazed
in
the
Labyrinth
of
History
,
but
guided
by
the
Clue
of
Cosmography
,
hanging
his
Study
with
Maps
,
and
his
Mind
with
exact
Notices
of
each
place
.
He
made
in
one
View
a
Judgement
of
the
Situation
,
Interest
,
and
Commodities

for
want

&c.
failed
)
of
Nations
:
but
to
understand
the
nature
of
places
,
is
but
a
poor
knowledge
,
unless
we
know
how
to
improve
them
by
Art
;
therefore
under
the
Figures
of
Triangles
,
Squares
,
Circles
and
Magnitudes
,
with
their
terms
and
bounds
,
he
could
contrive
most
tools
and
instruments
,
most
Engines
,
and
judge
of
Fortifications
,
Architecture
,
Ships
,
Wind
and
Water-works
,
and
whatever
might
make
this
lower
frame
of
things
useful
and
serviceable
to
mankinde
:
which
severer
Studies
he
relieved
with
noble
and
free
Poetry-aid
,
once
the
pleasure
and
advancement
of
the
Soul
,
made
by
those
higher
motions
of
the
minde
more
active
and
more
large
.
To
which
I
adde
her
Sister
Musick
,
wherewith
he
revived
his
tired
spirits
,
lengthened
(
as
he
said
)
his
sickly
days
,
opened
his
oppressed
breast
,
eased
his
melancholy
thoughts
graced
his
happy
pronunciation
,
ordered
and
refined
his
irregular
and
gross
inclination
,
fixed
and
quickened
his
floating
and
dead
notions
;
and
by
a
secret
,
sweet
and
heavenly
Vertue
,
raised
his
spirit
,
as
he
confessed
,
sometime
to
a
little
less
then
Angelical
Exaltations
.
Curious
he
was
to
please
his
ear
,
and
as
exact
to
please
his
eye
;
there
being
no
Statues
,
Inscriptions
or
Coyns
that
the
Vertuosi
of
Italy
could
shew
,
the
Antiquaries
of
France
could
boast
of
,
or
the
great
Hoarder
of
Rarities
the
great
Duke
of
Tuscany
,
(
whose
antick
Coyns
are
worth
100000
l.
)
could
pretend
to
,
that
he
had
not
the
view
of
.
No
man
could
draw
any
place
or
work
better
,
none
fancy
and
paint
a
Portraicture
more
lively
;
being
a
Dure●
for
proportion
,
a
Goltzius
for
a
bold
touch
,
variety
of
posture
,
a
curious
and
true
shadow
,
an
Angelo
for
his
happy
fancy
,
and
an
Holben
for
Oyl-works
.
Neither
was
it
a
bare
Ornament
of
Discourse
,
or
naked
Diversion
of
leisure
time
;
but
a
most
weighty
piece
of
Knowledge
,
that
he
could
blazon
most
noble
and
ancient
Coats
,
and
thereby
discern
the
relation
,
interest
,
and
correspondence
of
great
Families
,
and
thereby
the
meaning
and
bottom
of
all
transactions
,
and
the
most
successful
way
of
dealing
with
any
one
Family
.
His
Exercises
were
such
as
his
Employments
were
like
to
be
,
gentile
and
man-like
,
whereof
the
two
most
eminent
were
Riding
and
Shooting
,
that
at
once
wholsomely
stirred
,
and
nobly
knitted
and
strengthened
his
Body
.
Two
Eyes
he
said
he
travelled
with
;
the
one
of
wariness
upon
himself
,
the
other
of
observation
upon
others
.
This
compleat
Gentleman
was
Guardian
to
the
young
Brandon
in
his
younger
years
,
Agent
for
Sir
John
Mason
in
King
Edward
the
sixth's
time
,
and
the
first
Embassador
for
the
State
in
Queen
Elizabeths
time
.
My
Lord
Cobham
is
to
amuse
the
Spaniard
,
my
Lord
Effingham
to
undermine
the
French
,
and
Sir
Henry
Killigrew
is
privately
sent
to
engage
the
German
Princes
against
Austria
in
point
of
Interest
,
and
for
her
Majesty
in
point
of
Religion
:
he
had
an
humour
that
bewitched
the
Elector
of
Bavaria
,
a
Carriage
that
awed
him
of
Mentz
,
a
Reputation
that
obliged
them
of
Colen
and
Hydelbergh
,
and
that
reach
and
fluency
in
Discourse
that
won
them
all
.
He
assisted
the
Lords
Hunsdon
and
Howard
at
the
Treaty
with
France
in
London
,
and
my
Lord
of
Essex
in
the
War
for
France
in
Britain
.
Neither
was
he
less
observable
for
his
own
Conduct
then
for
that
of
others
,
whose
severe
thoughts
,
words
and
carriage
so
awed
his
inferiour
faculties
,
as
to
restrain
him
through
all
the
heats
of
youth
,
made
more
then
usually
importunate
by
the
full
vigour
of
a
high
and
sanguine
Constitution
;
insomuch
that
they
say
he
looked
upon
all
the
approaches
to
that
sin
,
then
so
familiar
to
his
Calling
as
a
a
Souldier
,
his
Quality
as
a
Gentleman
,
and
his
Station
as
a
Courtier
,
not
onely
with
an
utter
disallowance
in
his
Judgement
,
but
with
a
natural
abhorency
and
antipathy
in
his
very
lower
inclinations
.
To
which
happiness
it
conduced
not
a
little
,
that
though
he
had
a
good
,
yet
he
had
a
restrained
appetite
(
a
Knife
upon
his
Throat
as
well
as
upon
his
Trencher
)
that
indulged
it self
neither
frequent
nor
delicate
entertainment
;
its
Meals
,
though
but
once
a
day
,
being
its
pressures
;
and
its
fasts
,
its
only
sensualities
:
to
which
temperance
in
diet
adde
,
but
that
in
sleep
,
together
with
his
disposal
of
himself
throughout
his
life
to
industry
and
diligence
,
you
will
say
he
was
a
spotless
man
,
whose
life
taught
us
this
Lesson
,
(
which
if
observed
,
would
accomplish
Mankinde
;
and
which
King
Charles
the
first
would
inculcate
to
noble
Travellers
,
and
Dr.
Hammond
to
all
men
)
To
be
furnished
always
with
something
to
do
:
A
Lesson
they
proposed
as
the
best
expedient
for
Innocence
and
Pleasure
;
the
foresaid
blessed
man
assuring
his
happy
Hearers
,
That
no
burthen
is
more
heavy
,
or
temptation
more
dangerous
,
then
to
have
time
lie
on
ones
hand
;
the
idle
man
being
not
onely
(
as
he
worded
it
)
the
Devils
shop
,
but
his
kingdome
too
;
a
model
of
,
and
an
appendage
unto
Hell
,
a
place
given
up
to
torment
and
to
mischief
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Arthur
Gray
Baron
of
Wilton
.
ARthur
Gray
Baron
of
Wilton
is
justly
reckoned
amongst
the
Natives
of
Buckingham-shire
,
whose
Father
had
his
habitation
(
not
at
Wilton
a
decayed
Castle
in
Herefordshire
,
whence
he
took
his
Title
,
but
)
at
Waddon
,
a
fair
House
of
his
Family
not
far
from
Buckingham
.
He
succeeded
to
a
small
Estate
,
much
diminished
on
this
sad
occasion
.
His
Father
William
Lord
Gray
being
taken
Prisoner
in
France
,
after
long
ineffectual
solliciting
to
be
(
because
captivated
in
the
publick
service
)
redeemed
on
the
publick
charge
,
at
last
was
forced
to
ransome
himself
with
the
sale
of
the
best
part
of
his
Patrimony
.
Our
Arthur
endeavoured
to
advance
his
Estate
by
his
Valour
,
being
entred
into
Feats
of
War
under
his
Martial
Father
at
the
siege
of
Leith
1560
,
where
he
was
shot
in
the
shoulder
,
which
inspirited
him
with
a
constant
antipathy
against
the
Scots
.
He
was
afterwards
sent
over
Lord
Deputy
into
Ireland
,
anno
1580
;
where
before
he
had
received
the
Sword
,
or
any
Emblems
of
Command
,
ut
acricribus
initiis
terrorem
incuteret
,
to
fright
his
foes
with
fierce
beginnings
,
he
unfortunately
fought
the
Rebels
at
Glandilough
,
to
the
great
loss
of
English
Blood
.
This
made
many
commend
his
Courage
above
his
Conduct
,
till
he
recovered
his
credit
,
and
finally
suppressed
the
Rebellion
of
Desmond
.
Returning
into
England
,
the
Queen
chiefly
relied
on
his
counsel
for
ordering
our
Land-forces
against
the
Spaniards
in
88
,
and
fortifying
places
of
advantage
.
The
mention
of
that
year
(
critical
in
Church-differences
about
discipline
at
home
,
as
well
as
with
forreign
force
abroad
)
mindeth
me
that
this
Lord
was
but
a
back-friend
to
Bishops
;
and
in
all
divisions
of
Votes
in
Parliament
or
Council-table
,
sided
with
the
Anti-prelatical
Party
.
When
Secretary
Davison
,
that
State-Pageant
,
(
raised
up
on
purpose
to
be
put
down
)
was
censured
in
the
Star-chamber
about
the
business
of
the
Queen
of
Scots
,
this
Lord
Gray
onely
defended
him
,
as
doing
nothing
therein
but
what
became
an
able
and
honest
Minister
of
State
.
An
Ear-witness
saith
,
Haec
fusè
oratoriè
&
animosè
Greium
disserentem
audivimus
.
So
that
besides
bluntness
,
(
the
common
and
becoming
Eloquence
of
Souldiers
)
he
had
a
real
Rhetorick
,
and
could
very
emphatically
express
himself
.
Indeed
this
Warlike
Lord
would
not
wear
two
heads
under
one
Helmet
,
and
may
be
said
always
to
have
born
his
Beaver
open
,
not
dissembling
in
the
least
degree
,
but
owning
his
own
Judgement
at
all
times
what
he
was
.
He
deceased
anno
Domini
1593.
Three
things
he
was
observed
eminent
for
:
1.
Dispatch
;
San
Joseph
having
not
been
a
week
in
Ireland
,
before
he
had
environed
him
by
Sea
and
Land
.
2.
For
his
resolution
,
that
he
would
not
parley
with
him
till
he
was
brought
to
his
mercy
,
hanging
out
a
white
flag
with
Misericordia
,
Misericordia
.
3.
For
his
Prudence
:
1.
That
he
saved
the
Commanders
,
to
oblige
the
Spaniard
:
2.
That
he
plundered
the
Country
,
to
enrich
his
Souldiers
:
3.
That
he
decimated
the
Souldiery
,
to
terrifie
Invaders
;
and
hanged
all
the
Irish
,
to
amaze
the
Traytors
.
Henry
Fitz-alan
Earl
of
Arundel
when
Steward
at
King
Edward's
Coronation
,
or
Constable
at
Queen
Mary's
,
was
the
first
that
rid
in
a
Coach
in
England
;
my
Lord
Gray
was
the
first
that
brought
a
Coach
hither
:
one
of
a
working
Brain
,
and
a
great
Mechanist
himself
,
and
no
less
a
Patron
to
the
Ingenious
that
were
so
.
That
there
was
an
emulation
between
him
and
Sussex
,
was
no
wonder
;
but
that
the
instance
wherein
he
thought
to
disgrace
him
,
should
be
his
severity
to
the
English
Traytor
,
and
the
Forreign
Invadors
,
would
seem
strange
to
any
but
those
that
consider
,
1.
That
Princes
of
late
would
seem
as
they
look
on
the
end
,
and
not
the
means
;
so
they
hug
a
cruelty
,
and
frown
on
the
instrument
of
it
;
who
while
he
honestly
sacrificeth
some
irregular
particulars
to
the
interest
of
Soveraignty
,
may
be
made
himself
a
sacrifice
to
the
passion
of
populacy
.
And
,
2.
which
is
the
case
here
,
That
aspiring
Princes
may
employ
severer
Natures
,
but
setled
ones
use
the
more
moderate
.
Love
keeps
up
the
Empire
which
Power
hath
set
up
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Thomas
Lord
Burge
.
THomas
Lord
Burge
or
Borough
was
born
in
his
Fathers
noble
House
at
Gainsborough
in
the
County
of
Lincoln
.
He
was
sent
Embassadour
into
Scotland
in
1593
,
to
excuse
Bothwel
his
lurking
in
England
,
to
advise
the
speedy
suppression
of
the
Spanish
Faction
,
to
advance
the
Protestants
in
that
Kingdome
for
their
Kings
defence
,
and
to
instruct
that
King
about
his
Council
;
which
was
done
accordingly
.
He
was
made
Lord-Deputy
of
Ireland
anno
1597
,
in
the
room
of
Sir
William
Russel
.
Mr.
Cambden
saith
thus
of
him
:
Vir
acer
,
&
animi
plenus
,
sed
nullis
fer●
Castrorum
rudimentis
.
As
soon
as
the
Truce
with
Tyrone
was
expired
,
he
straightly
besieged
the
Fort
of
Black-water
,
(
the
onely
receptacle
of
the
Rebels
in
those
parts
,
besides
their
Woods
and
Bogs
.
)
Having
taken
this
Fort
by
force
,
presently
followed
a
bloody
Battle
,
wherein
the
English
lost
many
worthy
men
.
He
was
struck
with
untimely
death
before
he
had
continued
a
whole
year
in
his
Place
;
it
being
wittily
observed
of
the
short
Lives
of
many
worthy
men

Things
rare
destroy
themselves
;
those
two
things
being
incompatible
in
our
nature
,
Perfection
and
Lastingness
.
His
Education
was
not
to
any
particular
Profession
,
yet
his
Parts
able
to
manage
all
.
A
large
Soul
and
a
great
Spirit
apart
from
all
advantages
,
can
do
wonders
.
His
Master-piece
was
Embassie
,
where
his
brave
Estate
set
him
above
respects
and
compliance
,
and
his
comely
Person
above
contempt
.
His
Geography
and
History
led
to
the
Interest
of
other
Princes
,
and
his
Experience
to
that
of
his
own
.
His
skill
in
most
Languages
helped
him
to
understand
others
;
and
his
resolution
to
use
onely
his
own
,
to
be
reserved
himself
.
In
two
things
he
was
very
scrupulous
:
1.
In
his
Commission
,
2.
In
his
Servants
,
whom
he
always
(
he
said
)
found
honest
enough
,
but
seldome
quick
and
reserved
.
And
in
two
things
very
careful
:
viz.
1.
The
time
and
humour
of
his
Addresses
;
2.
The
Interest
,
Inclinations
and
Dependencies
of
Favourites
.
A
grave
and
steady
man
,
observing
every
thing
,
but
affected
with
nothing
;
keeping
as
great
distance
between
his
looks
and
his
heart
,
as
between
his
words
and
his
thoughts
.
Very
exact
for
his
priviledges
,
very
cold
and
indifferent
in
his
motions
,
which
were
always
guided
by
the
emergencies
in
that
Country
,
and
by
his
intelligence
from
home
.
Good
he
was
in
pursuing
his
limited
instruction
,
excellent
where
he
was
free
;
and
his
Business
was
not
his
obedience
onely
but
his
discretion
too
:
that
never
failed
but
in
his
last
enterprize
,
which
he
undertook
without
any
apparent
advantage
,
and
attempted
without
intelligence
:
An
Enterprize
well
worthy
his
invincible
Courage
,
but
not
his
accustomed
Prudence
;
which
should
never
expose
the
person
of
a
General
to
the
danger
of
a
common
Souldier
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
William
Lord
Pawlet
.
WIlliam
Pawlet
(
where-ever
born
)
had
his
largest
Estate
and
highest
Honour
(
Baron
of
Basing
,
and
Marquess
of
Winchester
)
in
Hantshire
.
He
was
descended
from
a
younger
house
of
the
Pawlets
in
Hinton
St.
George
in
Somersetshire
,
as
by
the
Crescent
in
his
Arms
is
acknowledged
.
[
](A48796-e71390-b)*
*
Sir
Rob.
Naunton
in
his
Fragmenta
Regalia
.
One
telleth
us
,
That
he
being
a
younger
Brother
,
and
having
wasted
all
that
was
left
him
,
came
to
Court
on
trust
;
where
,
upon
the
stock
of
his
Wit
,
he
trafficked
so
wisely
,
and
prospered
so
well
,
that
he
got
,
spent
,
and
left
,
more
then
any
Subject
since
the
Conquest
.
Indeed
he
lived
at
the
time
of
the
dissolution
of
Abbeys
,
which
was
the
Harvest
of
Estates
;
and
it
argued
idleness
if
any
Courtier
had
his
Barns
empty
.
He
was
Servant
to
King
Henry
the
seventh
;
and
for
thirty
years
together
Treasurer
to
King
Henry
the
eighth
,
Edward
the
sixth
,
Queen
Mary
,
and
Queen
Elizabeth
:
the
later
in
some
sort
owed
their
Crowns
to
his
Counsel
,
his
Policy
being
the
principal
Defeater
of
Duke
Dudley's
Designe
to
dis-inherit
them
.
I
behold
this
Lord
Pawlet
like
to
aged
Adoram
,
so
often
mentioned
in
Scriptures
,
being
over
the
Tribute

And
though

years
,
yet
did
he
serve
more
Soveraigns
,
in

(
as

said
of
himself
)
No

not

Lord

happiness
of

,
setting
in
his
full
splendour
,
having
lived
97
years
,
and
seen

out
of
his
body
.
He
died
anno
Domini
1572.
Thus
far
Mr.
Fuller
.
This
Gentleman
had
two
Rules
as
useful
for
Mankinde
,
as
they
seem
opposite
to
one
another
.
1.
That
in
our
Considerations
and
Debates
,
we
should
not
dwell
in
deceitful
Generals
,
but
look
into
clear
Particulars
.
2.
That
in
our
Resolutions
and
Conclusions
,
we
should
not
rest
on
various
Particulars
,
but
rise
to
uniform
Generals
.
A
Man
he
was
that
reverenced
himself
;
that
could
be
vertuous
when
alone
,
and
good
when
onely
his
own
Theatre
,
his
own
applause
,
though
excellent
,
before
the
world
;
his
vertue
improving
by
fame
and
glory
,
as
an
heat
which
is
doubled
by
reflexion
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
James
Dier
.
JAmes
Dier
Knight
,
younger
Son
to
Richard
Dier
Esquire
,
was
born
at
Round-hill
in
Somersetshire
,
as
may
appear
to
any
by
the
Heralds
Visitation
thereof
.
He
was
bred
in
the
study
of
our
Municipal
Law
,
and
was
made
Lord
Chief
Justice
of
the
Common
Pleas
,
primo
Eliz.
continuing
therein
twenty
four
years
.
When
Thomas
Duke
of
Norfolk
was
,
anno
1572
,
arraigned
for
Treason
,
this
Judge
was
present
thereat
,
on
the
same
token
,
that
when
the
Duke
desired
Counsel
to
be
assigned
him
,
pleading
that
it
was
granted
to
Humphrey
Stafford
in
the
Reign
of
King
Henry
the
seventh
,
our
Judge
returned
unto
him
,
That
Stafford
had
it
allowed
him
only
as
to
point
of
Law
,
then
in
dispute
,
viz.
Whether
he
was
legally
taken
out
of
the
Sanctuary
?
but
as
for
matter
of
Fact
,
neither
he
,
nor
any
ever
had
or
could
have
Counsel
allowed
him
.
But
let
his
own
works
praise
him
in
the
Gates
,
(
known
for
the
place
of
publick
Justice
amongst
the
Jews
)
let
his
learned
Writings
,
called
,
The
Commentaries
or
Reports
,
evidence
his
Abilities
in
his
Profession
.
He
died
in
25
Eliz.
(
though
married
)
without
any
issue
;
and
there
is
a
House
of
a
Baronet
of
his
Name
(
descended
from
an
elder
Son
of
Richard
,
Father
to
our
Judge
)
at
great
Stoughton
in
Hunting
tonshire
,
well
improved
I
believe
with
the
addition
of
the
Judges
Estate
.
There
is
a
Manuscript
of
this
worthy
Judge
,
wherein
are
six
and
forty
Rules
for
the
preservation
of
the
Commonwealth
,
as
worthy
our
Observation
as
they
were
his
Collection
.
-
1.
That
the
true
Religion
be
established
.
-
2.
To
keep
the
parts
of
the
Commonwealth
equal
.
-
3.
That
the
middle
sort
of
people
exceed
both
the
extreams
.
-
4.
That
the
Nobility
be
called
to
serve
,
or
at
least
to
appear
at
the
Court
by
themselves
,
or
by
the
hopes
of
their
Families
their
Children
.
-
5.
That
the
Court
pay
well
.
-
6.
That
Trade
be
free
;
and
Manufactures

with
all
other
Ingenuities
,
encouraged
.
-
7.
Thgt
there
be
no
co-equal
Powers
,
nor
any
other
Vsurpations
against
the
Foundation
.
-
8.
That
there
be
notice
taken
of
wise
and
well-affected
Persons
to
employ
them
.
-
9.
That
Corruption
be
restrained
.
-
10.
That
the
Prince
shew
himself
absolute
in
his
Authority
first
,
and
then
indulgent
in
his
Nature
.
-
11.
That
the
first
ferment
of
sedition
,
want
,
&c.
be
considered
.
-
12.
That
Preferments
be
bestowed
on
merit
,
and
not
faction
.
-
13.
That
troublesome
persons
be
employed
abroad
.
-
14.
That
Emulations
be
over-ruled
.
-
15.
That
the
ancient
and
most
easie
way
of
Contributions
when
necessary
,
be
followed
.
-
16.
That
the
Youth
be
disciplined
.
-
17.

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
William
Pelham
.
SIr
William
Pelham
was
a
Native
of
Sussex
,
whose
ancient
and
wealthy
Family
hath
long
flourished
in
Laughton
therein
.
His
Prudence
in
Peace
,
and
Valour
in
War
,
caused
Queen
Elizabeth
to
employ
him
in
Ireland
,
where
he
was
by
the
Privy-Council
appointed
Lord
Chief
Justice
to
govern
that
Land
in
the
interim
betwixt
the
death
of
Sir
William
Drury
,
and
the
coming
in
of
Arthur
Gray
,
Lord
Lieutenant
of
Ireland
.
Say
not
that
he
did
but
stop
a
gap
for
a
twelve-month
at
the
most
,
seeing
it
was
such
a
gap
,
Destruction
had
entred
in
thereat
,
to
the
final
ruine
of
that
Kingdome
,
had
not
his
Providence
prevented
it
.
For
in
this
juncture
of
time
,
Desmond
began
his
Rebellion
1579
,
inviting
Sir
William
to
side
with
him
;
who
wisely
gave
him
the
hearing
,
with
a
smile
in
to
the
Bargain
.
And
although
our
Knight
for
want
of
Force
could
not
cure
the
wounds
,
yet
he
may
be
said
to
have
washed
and
kept
it
clean
,
resigning
it
in
a
recovering
condition
to
the
Lord
Gray
,
who
succeeded
him
.
Afterwards
he
was
sent
over
into
the
Low-Countries
1586
,
being
Commander
of
the
English
Horse
therein
.
It
is
said
of
him
,
Brabantiam
persultabat
,
He
leapt
through
Brabant
;
importing
celerity
and
success
,
yea
,
as
much
Conquest
as
so
suddain
an
expedition
was
capable
of
.
He
had
a
strong
memory
whereon
he
built
his
experience
,
and
a
large
experience
whereon
he
grounded
his
actions
:
There
was
no
Town
,
Fort
,
Passage
,
Hill
or
Dale
,
either
in
Ireland
or
Holland
,
but
he
retained
by
that
strong
faculty
,
that
was
much
his
Nature
,
more
his
Art
;
which
observed
privately
,
what
it
saw
publickly
;
recollected
and
fixed
in
the
night
,
what
he
observed
by
day
;
trusting
his
head
with
solids
,
but
not
burthening
it
with
impertinencies
.
Company
is
one
of
the
greatest
pleasures
of
Mankinde
,
and
the
great
delight
of
this
man
,
(
it
's
unnatural
to
be
solitary
;
the
world
is
sinked
together
by
love
,
and
men
by
friendship
)
who
observed
three
things
in
his
converse
,
that
it
should
be
,
1.
even
,
2.
choice
,
and
3.
useful
;
all
his
friends
being
either
valiant
,
ingenious
,
or
wise
:
that
is
,
either
Souldiers
,
Scholars
,
or
States-men
.
Four
things
he
was
very
intent
upon
during
his
Government
in
Ireland
:
1.
The
Priests
,
the
Pulpits
,
and
the
Press
:
2.
The
Nobility
:
3.
The
Ports
:
4.
The
Forreigners
.
Which
he
pursued
with
that
Activity
,
the
Earl
of
Ormond
assisting
him
,
that
anno
1580
,
that
Kingdome
was
delivered
to
my
Lord
Gray
after
his
one
years
Government
,
in
a
betteter
condition
then
it
had
been
for
threescore
year
before
;
the
Populacy
being
encouraged
,
the
Nobility
trusted
,
Feuds
laid
down
,
Revenue
setled
,
the
Sea-towns
secured
,
the
Souldiery
disciplined
and
the
Magazines
furnished
.
Whence
he
returned
to
overlook
others
,
setling
England
against
the
Spaniards
,
as
he
had
done
Ireland
;
himself
being
a●
active
Commissioner
in
England
in
88
,
and
an
eminent
Agent
in
Scotland
in
89.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
William
Waad
.
A
Scholar
himself
,
and
a
Patron
to
such
that
were
so
;
being
never
well
but
when
employing
the
Industrious
,
pensioning
the
Hopeful
,
and
preferring
the
Deserving
.
To
his
Directions
we
owe
Rider's
Dictonary
,
to
his
Encouragement
Hooker's
Policy
,
to
his
Charge
Gruter's
Inscriptions
.
As
none
more
knowing
,
so
none
more
civil
.
No
man
more
grave
in
his
Life
and
Manners
,
no
man
more
pleasant
in
his
Carriage
and
Complexion
;
yet
no
man
more
resolved
in
his
Business
:
for
being
sent
by
Queen
Elizabeth
to
Philip
King
of
Spain
,
he
would
not
be
turned
over
to
the
Spanish
Privy-Council
,
(
whose
greatest
Grandees
are
Dwarfs
in
honour
to
his
Mistress
)
but
would
either
have
audience
of
the
King
himself
,
or
return
without
it
;
though
none
knew
better
how
and
when
to
make
his
close
and
underhand
Addresses
to
such
potent
Favourites
as
strike
the
stroke
in
the
State
:
It
often
happening
in
a
Commonwealth
,
(
saith
my
Author
)
that
the
Masters
Mate
steers
the
Ship
better
then
the
Master
himself
.
A
man
of
a
constant
toyl
and
industry
,
busie
and
quick
,
equalty
an
enemy
to
the
idle
and
slow
undertakings
,
judging
it
a
great
weakness
to
stand
staring
in
the
face
of
business
,
in
that
time
which
might
serve
to
do
it
.
In
his
own
practice
he
never
considered
longer
then
till
he
could
discern
whether
the
thing
proposed
was
fit
or
not
;
when
that
was
seen
,
he
immediately
set
to
work
:
when
he
had
finished
one
business
,
he
could
not
endure
to
have
his
thoughts
lie
fallow
,
but
was
presently
consulting
what
next
to
undertake
.
Two
things
this
Gentleman
professed
kept
him
up
to
that
eminence
:
1.
Fame
,
that
great
incitement
to
Excellency
.
2.
A
Friend
,
whom
he
had
not
onely
to
observe
those
grossnesses
which
Enemies
might
take
notice
of
,
but
to
discover
his
prudential
failings
,
indecencies
,
and
even
suspitious
and
barely
doubtful
passages
.
Friendship
(
saith
my
Lord
Bacon
)
easeth
the
heart
,
and
cleareth
the
understanding
,
making
clear
day
in
both
;
partly
by
giving
the
●urest
counsel
apart
from
our
interest
and
prepossessions
,
and
partly
by
allowing
opportunity
to
discourse
;
and
by
that
discourse
to
clear
the
mind
,
to
recollect
the
thoughts
,
to
see
how
they
look
in
words
;
whereby
men
attain
that
highest
wisdome
,
which
Dionysius
the
Areopagite
saith
,
is
the
Daughter
of
Reflexion
.
Observations

the
Life
of
Sir

SIr
Henry

,
eminent
for
his
Son
Sir
Philip
,
and
famous
for
his
own
Actions
,
w●●
born
well
,
and
bred

:
His

was

,
his
Carriage
to
his
God
Nature
,
his
Good
Nature
to
his
Prudence
,
his
Prudence
to
his
Resolution

A
little
he
learned
a
School
,
more
at
the
University
,
most
at
Court
His
Reading
was
assiduous
,
his
Converse
exact
,
〈◊〉
Observations
close
:
His
Reason
was
strong
,
and
〈◊〉
Discourse
flowing
.
Much
he
owed
to
his
Stud●ousness
at
home
,
more
to
his
Experience
abroad
where
Travel
enlarged
and
consolidated
his
Son
His
own
Worth
fitted
him
for
Advancement
,
an
his
Alliance
to
my
Lord
of
Leicester
raised
him
to
a
Merit

capacitate
a
man
for
Interest
,
and
Intrest
must
set
up
Merit
.
His
Person
and
his
An
〈…〉
ry
invested
him
Knight
of
the
Garter
,
his
Moderation
and
Wisdome
President
of
Wales
.
His
Resolution
and
Model
of
Government
made
him
Lo
〈…〉
Deputy
of
Ireland
;
a
people
whom
he
first
studied
and
then
ruled
;
being
first
Master
of
their
Humour
and
then
of
their
Government
.
Four
things
he
said
would
reduce
that
Country
:
A
Navy
well
furnished
,
to
cut
off
their
correspondence
with
Spain
.
An
Army
well
paid
,
to
keep
up
Garisons
;
Law
well
executed
,
to
alter
their
Constitutions
and
T
〈…〉
res
;
A
Ministry
well
setled
,
to
civilize
and
instrud
them
;
and
an
unwearied
Industry
to
go
through
all
Nine
things
he
did
there
to
eternize
his
Memory
.
1.
Connaught
He
divided
to
six
Shires
.
2.
Captainships
,
something
answering
to
Knighthood
here
,
He
abolished
.
3.
A
Surrendry
of
all
Irish
Holdings
He
contried
,
and
the
Irish
Estates
He
setled
on
English
Te●ures
and
Services
.
4.
That
the
ablest
five
of
each
Sept
should
undertake
for
all
their
Relations
,
He
ordered
.
5.
One
Free-School
at
least
in
every
Diocess
He
maintained
.
6.
Two
Presidents
Courts
in
Manster
and
Con
〈…〉
ught
He
erected
.
7.
Their
Customes
He
reduced
to
the
Civility
,
and
their
Exchequer
to
the
Exactness
of
England
.
8.
Their
Purveyance
He
turned
to
Composision
.
9.
Their
Statutes
He
printed
,
and
a
constant
correspondence
He
kept
;
especially
with
the
English
Embassadour
in
Spain
,
and
King
James
in
Scotland
.
Fitz-Williams
was
mild
,
Essex
heady
,
Perrot
stout
;
but
this
Lieutenant
or
Deputy
was
a
stayed
and
resolved
Man
,
that
Royally
heard
ill
,
and
did
well
;
that
bore
up
against
the
clamours
of
the
people
with
the
peace
of
his
conscience
.
His
Interest
he
had
devoted
to
his
Soveraign
,
and
his
Estate
to
he
Publick
;
saying
as
Cato
,
That
he
had
the
least
here
of
himself
.
From
the
Irish
he
took
nothing
See
Davies
of
Ireland
,
and
Ware
and
Powel
of
Wales
.
but
a
Liberty
to
undo
themselves
;
from
Court
he
desired
nothing
but
Service
;
from
Wales
he
had
nothing
but
a
Good
Name
.
It
's
observed
of
him
,
that
He
bad
open
Vertues
for
Honour
,
and
private
ones
for
Success
,
which
he
said
was
the
daughter
of
reservedness
:
there
being
not
(
saith
my
Lord
V●rulam
)
two
more
fortunate
properties
,
then
to
have
〈◊〉
little
of
the
fool
,
and
not
too
much
of
the
honest
man
The
Crown
was
obliged
by
his
Services
,
the
Nobility
engaged
to
him
by
Alliances
,
the
People
enamoured
with
his
Integrity
,
and
himself
satisfies
with
a
good
Conscience
.
Much
good
counsel
he
gave
at
Court
,
more
at
home
in
Shropshire
,
where
his
Dexterity
in
composing
the
private
Quarrels
of
the
Country
,
was
as
eminent
as
his
Prudence
in
setline
the
Affairs
of
Ireland
.
He
had
that
Majesty
in
his
Countenance
that
he
awed
,
and
Affability
in
his
Speech
that
he
obliged
the
Country
.
His
Counsel
would
be
smart
and
solid
,
his
Reproof
grave
and
affectionate
,
his
Jests
quick
and
taking
;
doing
more
with
a
quick
Droll
towards
the
peace
of
the
Country
,
then
others
did
with
longer
Harangue
.
Secretary
Bourns
Son
kept
a
Gentlemans
Wife
i●
Shropshire
;
when
he
was
weary
of
her
,
he
cause
her
Husband
to
be
dealt
with
to
take
her
home
,
an
offered
him
500
l.
for
reparation
.
The
Gentleman
went
to
Sir
Henry
Sidney
to
take
his
advice
telling
him
,
That
his
Wife
promised
now
a
new
life
and
to
say
the
truth
five
hundred
pounds
would
be
very
seasonable
at
that
time
.
By
my
troth
(
said
Sir
Henry
)
take
her
home
,
and
the
Money
;
then
whereas
other
Cuckolds
wear
their
Horns
plain
,
you
may
we●
yours
gilt
.
His
great
word
after
a
difference
ended
,
was
,
Is
not
this
easier
then
going
to
London
as
Ludlow
?
When
a
man
fretted
against
himself
of
others
,
My
Friend
,
he
would
say
,
take
it
from
me
a
weak
man
complains
of
others
,
an
unfortunate
man
of
himself
,
but
a
wise
man
neither
of
others
nor
of
himself
.
It
was
his
Motto
,
I
'll
never
threaten
.
To
threaten
an
Enemy
,
is
to
instruct
him
;
a
Superiour
,
is
to
endanger
my
Person
;
an
Inferiour
,
is
to
disparage
my
Conduct
.
Old
Servants
were
the
Ornament
and
stay
of
his
Family
,
for
whom
he
reserved
a
Copyhold
when
aged
,
a
Service
when
hopeful
,
an
Education
when
pregnant
.
Twice
was
he
sent
underhand
to
France
,
and
once
to
Scotland
,
to
feel
the
pulse
of
the
one
,
and
to
embroyl
the
other
.
It
's
for
setled
Kingdomes
and
for
Wealthy
men
to
play
above-board
,
while
the
young
State
as
the
young
Fortune
should
be
least
in
sight
.
He
and
Sir
Thomas
Randolph
amuse
the
Queen
of
Scots
with
the
hope
of
the
Crown
of
England
,
and
the
King
of
France
by
a
League
with
his
Protestant
Subjects
;
to
whose
assistance
Sir
Adrian
Poynings
arrives
as
Field-marshal
,
and
the
Earl
of
Warwick
as
General
.
Sir
Nicholas
Arnold
had
disposed
Ireland
to
a
settlement
,
when
Justicer
;
and
Sir
Henry
Sidney
formerly
Justicer
and
Treasurer
,
was
now
to
compleat
it
as
Deputy
,
being
assisted
in
Munster
by
Sir
Warham
St.
Leiger
,
and
elsewhere
by
the
brave
Earl
of
Ormond
,
having
procured
his
Antagonist
the
Earl
of
Desmond
to
be
called
to
England
in
order
to
a
peace
and
tranquillity
.
Great
was
his
Authority
over
,
far
greater
his
love
to
,
and
esteem
of
the
Soldiers
,
with
whom
he
did
wonders
against
Shane
Oneals
Front
,
while
Randolph
charged
his
Rear
until
the
wild
Rebel
submits
,
and
is
executed
.
When
he
resigned
his
Authority
and
Honour
to
Sir
William
Drury
,
he
took
his
farewel
of
Ireland
in
these
words
,
When
Israel
departed
out
of
Egypt
,
and
the
house
of
Jacob
from
a
barbarous
people
.
A
singular
man
he
was
,
(
saith
the
Historian
)
and
one
of
the
most
commendable
Deputies
of
Ireland
,
to
whose
Wisdome
and
Fortitude
that
Kingdome
cannot
but
acknowledge
much
,
though
it
is
as
impatient
of
Deputies
as
Sicily
was
of
old
of
Procurators
.
Alter
idem
,
or
other
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Thomas
Ratcliffe
.
THomas
Ratcliffe
Lord
Fitz-Walter
,
second
Earl
of
Sussex
of
that
surname
,
twice
Lord-Deputy
of
Ireland
,
was
a
most
valiant
Gentleman
.
By
his
Prudence
he
caused
that
actual
Rebellion
brake
not
out
in
Ireland
;
and
no
wonder
〈◊〉
in
his
time
it
rained
not
War
there
,
seeing
his
diligence
dispersed
the
Clouds
before
they
could
gather
together
.
Thus
he
who
cures
a
Disease
may
be
skilfullest
;
but
he
that
prevents
it
,
is
the
safe
Physitian
.
Queen
Elizabeth
called
him
home
to
be
her
Lord
Chamberlain
,
and
a
constant
Court-faction
was
maintained
between
him
and
Robert
Earl
of
Leicester
:
so
that
the
Sussexians
and
the
Leicesterian
divided
the
Court
,
whilst
the
Cecilians
as
Neuters
did
look
upon
them
.
Sussex
had
a
great
Estate
left
by
his
Ancestors
,
Leicester
as
great
given
or
restored
him
by
the
Queen
:
Sussex
was
the
honester
man
,
and
greater
Souldier
;
Leicester
the
more
facete
Courtier
,
and
deep
Politician
;
not
for
the
general
Good
,
but
for
his
particular
Profit
.
Great
the
Animosity
betwixt
them
;
and
what
in
vain
the
Queen
endeavoured
,
Death
performed
,
taking
this
Earl
away
;
and
so
the
Competition
was
ended
.
New-Hall
in
Essex
was
the
place
if
not
(
as
I
believe
)
of
his
Birth
,
yet
of
his
principal
Habitation
.
He
died
anno
Domini
—
and
lieth
buried
in
the
Church
of
St.
Olives
Hartstreet
London
.
The
first
of
Queen
Elizabeth
found
this
brave
Earl
commanding
Ireland
in
peace
and
plenty
,
with
three
hundred
and
twenty
Horse
,
and
eight
hundred
and
sixty
Foot
,
prudently
garisoned
,
and
well
paid
:
And
the
second
employed
him
thither
again
,
with
Instructions
,
That
he
should
beware
above
all
things
,
lest
the
Irish
,
being
an
uncivil
people
,
and
therefore
the
more
superstitious
,
should
by
the
cunning
practices
of
the
French
,
be
excited
to
rebellion
under
the
pretext
of
Religion
.
2.
That
he
should
fortifie
Ophale
with
Castles
and
Forts
.
3.
That
he
should
engage
the
Souldiery
with
large
Possessions
.
4.
That
the
Irish
Nobility
should
hold
their
Estates
in
Fee
.
5.
That
he
should
improve
the
Queens
Revenues
moderately
,
and
reduce
her
Exchequer
there
to
the
form
of
that
in
England
.
At
what
time
Maximilian
the
Emperoun
courted
Queen
Elizabeth
,
whom
all
English
men
wished
married
,
all
Protestants
married
to
a
Protestant
,
and
the
Earl
of
Leicester
had
designed
for
himself
,
there
arose
a
deadly
feud
in
the
English
Court
between
the
Earl
of
Sussex
,
that
favoured
the
Match
upon
common
Principles
of
Government
;
and
the
Earl
of
Leicester
,
who
opposed
it
upon
a
private
designe
of
his
own
.
Certainly
very
great
and
shameful
hopes
do
they
foster
,
who
have
already
attained
things
beyond
hopes
.
The
open-hearted
Earl
would
call
his
Antagonist
an
Upstart
,
that
had
but
two
Ancestors
,
his
Father
,
a
Traytor
;
and
his
Grandfather
,
a
Publican
.
The
Court
is
divided
,
the
Earls
are
always
attended
with
their
armed
Guards
,
until
the
Queen
,
who
took
pleasure
in
,
and
made
use
of
the
innocent
emulation
of
her
women
,
but
was
afraid
of
the
dangerous
contests
of
her
Favourites
,
rather
skinned
over
,
then
healed
the
rupture
.
At
the
Emperours
Court
,
whither
he
is
sent
with
the
Order
of
Saint
George
,
he
presseth
the
Marriage
closely
,
as
much
out
of
love
to
his
Country
,
as
hatred
to
Leicester
;
having
nothing
more
ordinary
in
his
discourse
then
that
a
Forreign
Prince
was
to
be
preferred
before
the
noblest
Englishman
for
the
three
grand
things
of
Honour
,
Power
and
Wealth
.
But
what
he
promoted
publickly
,
the
Lord
North
,
who
was
joyned
with
him
rather
as
his
Guardian
then
his
Colleague
,
opposed
privately
,
until
a
few
fond
scruples
broke
the
most
solemn
Negotiation
;
wherein
yet
this
Earl
behaved
himself
with
a
Gallantry
that
gained
him
a
familiarity
from
the
Emperour
,
a
reverence
from
the
Archduke
,
a
respect
from
all
the
people
,
and
his
Mistress
a
kindness
in
that
Court
,
that
stood
her
in
great
stead
against
the
attempts
of
Spain
and
Rome
.
From
Germany
he
returned
with
much
honour
,
to
Command
in
the
North
with
more
,
where
he
and
his
old
setters
at
Court
discovered
the
grand
Plot
in
the
North
,
as
Hunsdon
and
his
old
Souldiers
at
Berwick
defeated
it
,
and
both
harassed
the
Scotish
Borders
:
all
things
yeilding
to
those
two
grand
Disposers
of
the
World
,
now
predominant
in
England
,
Wisedome
and
Cecil
at
home
,
Arms
and
Hunsdon
abroad
;
and
both
with
Sussex
at
home
,
now
for
his
approved
Wisdome
and
Fidelity
made
Privy
Counsellour
,
and
abroad
alway
Lord
General
.
Of
many
,
I
pitch
on
this
one
Argument
,
Of
the
greatness
of
his
Minde
,
that
he
scorned
to
trample
the
Prostrate
;
that
he
had
a
just
Passion
,
but
not
an
unworthy
Malice
for
an
Enemy
whom
he
had
a
generous
goodness
to
pity
when
unhappy
,
as
well
as
a
brave
spirit
to
contest
with
when
injurious
.
The
lesser
fry
of
adversaries
railed
against
,
this
great
one
pleaded
for
Leicester
,
when
his
practices
against
Anjou's
marriage
with
the
Queen
confined
him
to
the
Castle
of
Windsor
;
and
his
Menaces
had
cast
him
to
the
Tower
of
London
,
had
not
my
Lord
,
minding
more
the
common
Interest
then
his
private
resentments
,
first
moderated
the
Queens
Passion
with
Reason
,
and
then
overcame
it
with
this
Jest
,
You
must
allow
Lovers
their
jealousie
.
Alter
idem
,
or
other
Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Lord
Hatton
.
HHis
first
Preferment
at
Court
was
to
be
one
of
the
fifty
Pensioners
;
whence
his
modest
sweetness
of
Manners
advanced
him
to
the
Privy
Chamber
:
where
he
had
not
been
long
,
but
his
face
and
tongue
(
which
most
eloquent
,
which
most
powerful
,
was
in
those
days
a
question
)
made
him
Captain
of
the
Guard
;
his
presence
and
service
Vice-Chamberlain
;
and
his
great
improvement
under
my
Lord
Burleigh
,
placed
him
in
that
grave
Assembly
,
(
the
wisest
Convention
in
Europe
at
that
time
)
the
Privy-Council
;
where
he
had
not
sate
long
,
when
his
enemies
as
well
as
his
friends
made
him
Chancellour
and
Knight
of
the
Garter
:
the
one
to
raise
him
,
and
the
other
by
that
rise
to
ruine
him
.
The
Eagle-eyed
men
of
those
times
carried
up
on
high
the
Cockleshel
they
had
a
mind
to
crack
.
A
man
of
a
pious
Nature
,
very
charitable
to
the
Poor
,
very
tender
of
dissenting
Judgements
,
(
saying
,
That
neither
searing
nor
cutting
was
to
be
used
in
the
cause
of
Religion
)
very
bountiful
to
Scholars
,
(
who
chose
him
Chancellour
at
Oxford
)
very
exact
in
his
Place
;
whence
he
went
off
,
though
not
with
the
applause
of
a
great
Lawyer
to
split
Causes
,
yet
with
the
Conscience
and
comfort
of
a
just
man
,
to
do
equity
.
Take
his
Character
from
his
own
words
,
those
words
that
prevailed
with
the
Queen
of
Scots
to
appear
before
the
Commissioners
at
Fotheringaz
,
when
neither
Queen
Elizabeths
Commission
,
nor
the
Lord
Chancellours
Reason
,
nor
the
Power
of
the
Kingdome
could
perswade
that
good
Lady
to
it
.
The
words
are
these
:
You
are
accused
,
but
not
condemned
.
You
say
you
are
a
Queen
;
be
it
so
:
if
you
are
innocent
,
you
wrong
your
Reputation
in
avoiding
tryal
.
You
protest
your self
innocent
,
the
Queen
feareth
the
contrary
not
without
grief
and
shame
.
To
examine
your
innocence
are
these
honourable
,
prudent
,
and
upright
Commissioners
sent
:
glad
will
they
be
with
all
their
hearts
if
they
may
return
and
report
you
guiltless
.
Believe
me
,
the
Queen
her self
will
be
much
affected
with
joy
,
who
affirmed
to
me
at
my
coming
from
her
,
that
never
any
thing
befel
her
more
grievous
,
then
that
you
were
charged
with
such
a
crime
:
Wherefore
lay
aside
the
bootless
priviledge
of
Royal
Dignity
,
which
here
can
be
of
no
use
to
you
,
appear
in
Judgement
,
and
shew
your
Innocence
;
lest
by
avoiding
tryal
,
you
draw
upon
your self
suspicion
,
and
lay
upon
your
Reputation
an
eternal
blot
and
aspersion
.
Four
things
I
observe
he
did
that
deserve
a
Chronicle
:
1.
That
he
delayed
the
Signing
of
Leicesters
Patent
for
the
Lieutenancy
of
England
and
Ireland
,
the
Preface
to
his
Kingdome
,
until
that
Earl
was
sick
.
2.
That
he
reduced
the
Chancery
,
and
all
other
Courts
,
to
Rules
.
3.
That
he
stood
by
the
Church
against
the
enemies
of
both
sides
.
Archbishop
Whitgift
when
checked
by
others
for
his
due
severity
,
writes
to
him
thus
:
I
think
my self
bound
to
you
for
your
friendly
Message
as
long
as
I
live
:
It
hath
not
a
little
comforted
me
,
having
received
unkinde
speeches
not
long
since
,
&c.
And
therefore
(
after
an
expostulation
about
some
States-mens
Proceedings
against
the
Law
and
State
of
the
Realm
,
and
a
Declaration
of
his
own
resolution
)
saith
he
,
your
Honour
in
offering
that
great
courtesie
,
offered
unto
me
as
great
a
pleasure
as
I
can
desire
.
Her
Majesty
must
be
my
Refuge
,
and
I
beseech
you
that
I
may
use
you
as
a
means
,
when
occasion
shall
serve
;
whereof
I
assure
my self
,
and
therein
rest
,
John
Cant.
4.
That
he
promoted
the
Proclamations
for
Plain
Apparel
,
for
Free
Trade
,
for
Pure
Religion
,
and
the
Laws
against
the
Papists
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
John
Puckering
.
SIr
John
Puckering
was
born
at
Flamborough-head
in
Yorkshire
.
He
was
second
Son
to
his
Father
,
a
Gentleman
that
left
him
neither
a
plenteous
nor
a
penurious
Estate
.
His
Breeding
was
more
beneficial
to
him
then
his
Portion
;
gaining
thereby
such
skill
in
the
Common
Law
,
that
he
became
the
Queens
Sergeant
,
Speaker
in
the
House
of
Commons
,
and
at
last
Lord
Chancellour
of
England
.
How
he
stood
in
his
Judgement
in
the
point
of
Church-Discipline
,
plainly
appeareth
by
his
following
Speech
,
delivered
in
the
House
of
Lords
1588.
And
especially
you
are
commanded
by
Her
Majesty
to
take
heed
,
that
no
ear
be
given
,
nor
time
afforded
to
the
wearisome
Sollicitations
of
those
that
commonly
be
called
Puritans
,
wherewithal
the
late
Parliaments
have
been
exceedingly
importuned
:
which
sort
of
men
,
whilst
that
(
in
the
giddiness
of
their
spirits
)
they
labour
and
strive
to
advance
a
new
Eldership
,
they
do
nothing
else
but
disturb
the
good
repose
of
the
Church
and
Commonwealth
:
which
is
as
well
grounded
for
the
body
of
Religion
it self
,
and
as
well
guided
for
the
Discipline
,
as
any
Realm
that
professeth
the
Truth
.
And
the
same
thing
is
already
made
good
to
the
world
by
many
of
the
Writings
of
godly
and
learned
men
,
neither
answered
nor
answerable
by
any
of
these
new-fangled
Refiners
.
And
,
as
the
present
case
standeth
,
it
may
be
doubted
,
whether
they
,
or
the
Jesuites
,
do
offer
more
danger
,
or
be
more
speedily
to
be
repressed
.
For
,
albeit
the
Jesuites
do
empoyson
the
hearts
of
Her
Majesties
Subjects
,
under
a
pretext
of
Conscience
to
withdraw
them
from
their
Obedience
due
to
Her
Majesty
;
yet
do
they
the
same
,
but
closely
,
and
in
privy-corners
:
But
these
men
do
both
teach
and
publish
in
their
printed
Books
,
and
teach
in
all
their
Conventicles
,
sundry
Opinions
,
not
onely
dangerous
to
a
well-setled
Estate
,
and
the
Policy
of
the
Realm
,
by
putting
a
Pike
between
the
Clergy
and
the
Layty
;
but
also
much
derogatery
to
her
sacred
Majesty
and
her
Crown
,
as
well
by
the
diminution
of
her
ancient
and
lawful
Revenues
,
and
by
denying
Her
Highness
Prerogative
and
Supremacy
,
as
by
offering
peril
to
her
Majesties
safety
in
her
own
Kingdome
.
In
all
which
things
,
(
however
in
other
Points
they
pretend
to
be
at
war
with
the
Popish
Jesuites
)
yet
by
this
separation
of
themselves
from
the
unity
of
their
fellow-subjests
,
and
by
abasing
the
Sacred
Authority
and
Majesty
of
their
Prince
,
they
do
both
joyn
and
concur
with
the
Jesuites
in
opening
the
Door
,
and
preparing
the
way
to
the
Spanish
Invasion
that
is
threatened
against
the
Realm
.
And
thus
having
according
to
the
weakness
of
my
best
understanding
delivered
Her
Majesties
Royal
Pleasure
and
wise
Direction
,
I
rest
there
,
with
humble
Suit
of
Her
Majesties
most
gracious
Pardon
in
supplying
of
my
defects
,
and
recommend
you
to
the
Author
of
all
good
counsel
.
He
died
anno
Domini
1596
,
charactered
by
Mr.
Cambden
,
Vir
Integer

His
Estate

(
according
to
the
solemn
settlement
thereof
)
the
Male
Issue
failing

on
Sir
Henry
Newton
;

,
according

the
Condition

hath
assumed

Sir
Thomas
Egerton
urged
against
the
Earl
of
Arundel
methodically
what
he
had
done
before
,
in
,
and
since
the
Spanish
Invasion
:
Sir
John
Puckering
pressed
things
closely
,
both
from
Letters
and
Correspondence
with
Allen
and
Parsons
,
that
few
men
had
seen
;
and
from
the
saying
of
my
Lord
himself
,
(
which
fewer
had
observed
)
who
when
Valongers
Cause
about
a
Libel
was
handled
in
the
Star-chamber
,
had
said
openly
,
He
that
is
throughly
Popish
,
the
same
man
cannot
but
be
a
Traytor
.
A
man
this
was
of
himself
of
good
repute
for
his
own
Carriage
,
but
unhappy
for
that
of
his
Servants
;
who
for
disposing
of
his
Livings
corruptly
,
left
themselves
an
ill
name
in
the
Church
,
and
him
but
a
dubious
one
in
the
State
.
David
is
not
the

the

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Thomas
Bromley
.
SIr
Thomas
Bromley
was
born
at
Bromley
in
Shropshire
,
of
a
right
ancient
Family
.
He
was
bred
in
the
Inner
Temple
,
and
made
,
before
he
was
forty
years
of
age
,
General-Sollicitor
to
Queen
Elizabeth
;
and
afterwards
,
before
he
was
fifty
,
succeeded
Sir
Nicholas
Bacon
in
the
Dignity
of
Lord
Chancellour
:
yet
Bacon
was
not
missed
while
Bromley
succeeded
him
;
and
that
loss
which
otherwise
could
not
have
been
repaired
,
now
could
not
be
perceived
;
which
Office
he
wisely
and
learnedly
executed
with
much
discretion
,
possessing
it
nine
years
,
and
died
anno
1587
,
not
being
sixty
years
old
.
My
Lord
Hunsdon
first
employed
this
Gentleman
,
and
my
Lord
Burleigh
took
first
notice
of
him
.
He
had
a
deep
head
to
dive
to
the
bottome
of
the
abstruse
Cases
of
those
times
,
and
a
happy
mean
to
manage
them
,
with
no
less
security
to
the
Estate
,
then
satisfaction
to
the
People
.
A
man
very
indudustrious
in
his
Place
,
and
very
observant
of
the
Court
:
happy
in
his
potent
friends
,
happy
in
his
able
followers
;
men
of
great
faithfulness
towards
him
,
and
of
great
integrity
and
respectfulness
towards
any
that
made
Addresses
to
him
.
He
never
decided
the
equity
of
any
Case
before
he
had
discoursed
with
the
Judge
that
heard
it
,
of
the
Law
of
it
.
He
never
disposed
of
a
Living
without
the
Bishop
of
the
Diocess
his
consent
where
it
lay
:
nor
ever
engaged
he
in
any
State-business
without
direction
from
my
Lord
Burleigh
,
the
Earl
of
Leicester
,
my
Lord
Delaware
.
Sir
Ralph
Sadler
was
to
observe
the
Policy
,
Dr.
Wilson
the
Civil
Law
,
and
Sir
Thomas
Bromley
the
English
Law
,
in
the
Queer
of
Scots
Answer
to
Queen
Elizabeths
last
Expostulation
.
The
Spanish
Souldier
never
takes
wages
against
his
King
,
and
Sir
Thomas
Bromley
never
took
fees
against
the
Crown
.
He
would
have
the
Caue
opened
clearly
by
his
Client
in
the
Chamber
,
before
ever
he
would
declare
it
at
the
Bar
:
He
lo
〈…〉
money
for
not
admitting
all
Causes
promiscuously
at
first
,
but
he
gained
it
at
last
;
when
never
failing
in
any
Cause
,
saith
my
Author
,
for
five
years
:
during
which
space
,
what
he
wanted
in
the
retayl
of
advantage
,
he
made
up
in
the
gross
o
〈…〉
esteem
;
being
by
that
time
the
onely
person
that
the
People
would
employ
,
and
one
of
the
three
the
Court
would
favour
;
being
excellent
(
because
industrious
)
in
a
leading
and
an
untrodden
Case
Physitians
,
they
say
,
are
best
like
Beer
when
stale
,
and
Lawyers
like
Bread
when
young
:
This
Person
was
eminent
in
all
the
periods
of
his
Age
;
each
whereof
he
filled
with
its
just
and
becoming
accomplishment
.
In
that
Lord
of
Northumberland's
Case
that
Pistolled
himself
,
none
more
subtle
to
argue
his
guilt
;
in
the
Queen
of
Scots
,
none
more
strict
to
keep
to
the
Law
:
for
when
the
Queen
of
Sco
〈…〉
would
explain
something
in
the
Queens
Commission
,
he
answered
,
We
are
Subjects
,
and
not
come
hither
to
explain
the
Queens
words
,
but
to
perform
them
.
None
more
discreet
and
grave
,
prefacing
that
great
business
with
these
words
;
The
High
and
Mighty
Queen
our
Soveraign
,
that
she
might
not
be
wanting
to
her
God
,
her Self
,
her
People
,
or
your
Honour
,
sent
us
hither
,
not
so
much
to
try
,
as
to
elear
you
;
not
so
much
to
urge
her
Accusations
,
as
to
hear
your
Defence
.
And
none
more
stedfast
to
his
Soveraign
:
for
when
that
unfortunate
Lady
protested
her
unaccountableness
to
the
English
Laws
,
he
replyed
,
This
protestation
is
vain
:
for
whosoever
,
of
what
place
soever
,
offendeth
against
the
Laws
of
England
in
England
,
was
subject
to
the
same
Laws
,
and
might
be
examined
and
tryed
.
The
Sentence
against
her
he
declared
had
three
things
in
it
:
1.
Justice
,
2.
Security
,
3.
Necessity
:
but
added
presently
,
And
that
wisely
too
it
should
no
ways
prejudice
King
James
his
Title
or
Honour
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Richard
Bingham
.
SIr
Richard
Bingham
,
born
in
Binghams-Melcolm
in
Dorsetshire
,
of
a
very
ancient
Family
,
in
his
youth
trayelled
most
parts
of
the
world
:
He
was
at
the
Siege
of
St.
Quintin
in
France
;
the
Sacking
of
Leith
in
Scotland
;
served
in
Candia
under
the
Venetians
against
the
Turk
;
then
returned
into
the
Netherlands
,
being
strong
and
fortunate
in
all
his
Undertakings
.
After
all
this
,
he
went
into
Ireland
,
and
was
there
President
of
Connaught
,
and
conquered
the
great
and
dangerous
Rebel
O
Rorke
.
A
Gentleman
this
,
rather
skilful
in
many
mysteries
then
thriving
in
any
:
of
a
fancy
too
high
and
wild
,
too
desultory
and
over-voluble
:
yet
Imagination
hath
often
produced
Realities
,
and
Phancy
done
the
work
of
Judgement
;
as
in
this
Gentleman
,
whose
Daringness
went
for
Conduct
,
whose
Spirit
passed
for
Resolution
,
whose
Activity
had
the
honour
of
skill
,
and
whose
Success
the
glory
of
prudence
.
It
's
a
wonder
of
parts
that
Casar
could
write
,
read
,
dictate
,
and
discourse
at
the
same
time
;
it
's
a
miracle
of
fancy
that
thisman
should
Command
a
Regiment
in
the
Netherlands
,
preside
in
a
Province
of
Ireland
,
manage
a
Trade
in
Russia
,
carry
on
a
Plantation
in
America
,
and
husband
a
Mannor
in
England
.
But
as
the
King
of
Spain
is
painted
with
a
handful
of
sand
running
out
between
his
singers
,
in
reference
to
his
many
,
but
unprofitable
Dominions
;
so
might
this
grand
Projector
be
described
,
who
attempted
so
many
things
,
that
he
did
nothing
.
Yet
one
thing
his
Quick-silver
Soul
was
good
for
,
and
that
is
Stratagems
:
Now
you
should
have
him
surprize
a
Town
by
Butter-women
,
another
time
by
Workmen
;
anon
he
would
face
the
Enemy
,
and
draw
them
with
success
upon
a
Train
of
Gunpowder
he
would
lay
for
them
,
and
Iron
Pricksteds
he
would
sow
for
them
:
He
would
steal
their
hands
and
seals
,
buy
the
very
keys
of
their
Closets
;
and
so
amuse
them
with
Letters
,
and
distract
them
with
Jealousies
,
while
in
the
mean
time
the
vigilant
man
alarmed
them
every
hour
of
the
day
,
and
each
watch
of
the
night
;
so
that
he
tamed
those
wild
Irish
as
we
do
some
wild
beasts
,
by
watching
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Roger
Ashcam
.
FRom
his
Cradle
a
Royal
Servant
,
and
to
his
Grave
a
Favourite
:
a
good
man
,
(
saith
Cambden
)
and
if
his
ambition
had
been
but
as
great
as
the
occasion
was
fair
,
a
great
one
too
.
Born
he
was
honestly
in
York
shire
,
and
bred
handsomely
at
Cambridge
;
and
both
born
and
bred
for
that
Age
which
was
to
refine
Greek
and
Latine
to
a
politeness
,
and
raise
them
to
an
Eloquence
.
He
was
the
University-Orator
at
Cambridge
,
and
at
Court
;
there
using
his
Eloquence
,
here
his
Interest
against
that
Sacriledge
,
that
having
Dined
on
the
Church
,
as
he
writ
,
came
to
Sup
on
the
Universities
.
Thence
he
was
rather
removed
then
advanced
,
more
suitably
to
his
merit
then
his
expectation
,
to
be
Queen
Elizabeths
Schoolmaster
for
the
Latine
Tongue
in
her
Sisters
time
,
and
her
Secretary
for
the
same
in
her
own
.
What
he
got
by
his
Ingenuity
,
he
lost
by
his
Gaming
,
viz.
at
Dice
and
Cock-fighting
,
dying
rich
onely
in
those
two
Books
,
his
Estate
and
Monument
,
whereof
the
one
is
intituled
Toxophilus
,
and
the
other
Scholarcha
.
He
and
his
dear
Smith
were
the
happiest
men
in
the
Nation
;
their
large
and
ingenious
Souls
clasping
together
in
an
entire
friendship
,
made
up
of
kindness
and
integrity
,
apart
from
the
little
fears
,
the
jealousies
,
the
suspitions
that
vex
Mankinde
.

And
it
's
a

,
that

An
honest
man
this
,
that
abhorred
all
artifice
and
cunning
,
and
hated
all
concealments
and
pretensions
,
which
he
had
sagacity
enough
to
discover
and
look
through
,
but
a
spirit
too
generous
to
practise
it
;
none
being
more
able
for
,
yet
none
more
averse
to
that
circumlocution
and
contrivance
wherewith
some
men
shadow
their
main
drift
and

Speech

made
to
open
Man

not

Whose

is
still
prepar'd
for

;
Vntide
unto
the

Of

Who

ever

;
How

by

Nor

Who
hath
his

freed
,
Whose
Conscience
is
his
strong
retreat
:
Whose
state
can
neither
flatterers

Who
God
doth

More
of

then
Gifts

And
entertains

This

Of

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
John
Packington
.
SIr
John
Packington
was
a
Person
of
no
Sir
Robert
Naunton
.
mean
Family
,
and
of
form
and
feature
no
way
despiseable
:
for
he
was
a
brave
Gentleman
,
and
a
very
fine
Courtier
;
and
for
the
time
which
he
stayed
there
,
was
very
high
in
the
Queens
Grace
:
but
he
came
in
,
and
went
out
,
and
through
disassiduity
lost
the
advantage
of
her
favor
;
and
then
Death
drawing
a
vail
over
him
,
utterly
deprived
him
of
recovery
.
They
say
of
him
,
saith
the
same
Author
,
that
had
he
brought
less
to
the
Court
then
he
did
,
he
might
have
carried
away
more
then
he
brought
:
for
he
had
a
time
of
it
,
but
he
was
an
ill
husband
of
Opportunity
.
His
handsome
features
took
the
most
,
and
his
neat
parts
the
wisest
at
Court
.
He
could
smile
Ladies
to
his
service
,
and
argue
States-men
to
his
designe
with
equal
ease
.
His
Reason
was
powerful
,
his
Beauty
more
.
Never
was
〈◊〉
brave
Soul
more
bravely
seated
:
Nature
bestowed
great
Parts
on
him
,
Education
polished
him
to
and
admirable
frame
of
prudence
and
vertue
.
Queen
Elizabeth
called
him
Her
Temperance
,
and
Leicester
His
Modesty
.
It
is
a
question
to
this
day
,
Whether
his
Resolution
took
the
Souldiers
,
his
Prudence
the
Politicians
,
his
Complyance
the
Favourites
,
his
Complaisance
the
Courtiers
,
his
Piety
the
Clergy
,
his
Integrity
and
Condescention
the
People
,
or
his
Knowledge
the
Learned
,
most
?
This
new
Court-star
was
a
nine-days
wonder
,
engaging
all
eyes
until
it
set
satisfied
with
its
own
glory
.
He
came
to
Court
,
he
said
,
as
Solomon
did
,
to
see
its
vanity
;
and
retired
as
he
did
,
to
repent
it
.
It
was
he
who
said
first
what
Bishop
Sanderson
urged
afterwards
,
That
a
sound
Faith
was
the
best
Divinity
,
good
Conscience
the
best
Law
,
and
Temperance
the
best
Physick
.
Sir
John
Packington
in
Queen
Elizabeths
time
was
vertuous
and
modest
,
and
Sir
John
Packington
in
King
Charles
his
time
Loyal
and
valiant
;
the
one
did
well
,
the
other
suffered
so
:
Greenbam
was
his
Favourite
,
Hammond
his
;
the
one
had
a
competant
Estate
,
and
was
contented
;
the
other
hath
a
large
one
,
and
is
noble
:
this
suppresseth
Factions
in
the
Kingdome
,
the
other
composed
them
in
the
Court
,
and
was
called
by
Courtiers
Moderation
.
Westmerland
tempted
his
fidelity
,
and
Norfolk
his
stedfastness
:
but
he
died
in
his
Bed
an
honest
and
an
happy
man
,
while
one
of
them
goes
off
tainted
on
the
Scaffold
,
and
the
other
dies
a
Begger
in
Flanders

Observations
on
the
Lives
of
the
Norrises
and
Knowles
.
MY
Lord
Norris
had
by
his
Lady
an
ample
Issue
,
which
the
Queen
highly
respected
:
for
he
had
six
sons
,
all
Martial
brave
men
;
of
haughty
courage
,
and
of
great
experience
in
the
conduct
of
Military
Affairs
.
Greater
was
not
the
Faction
between
Leicester
and
Sussex
at
Court
,
then
that
between
the
Knowles
and
the
Norrises
in
the
Country
:
both
Families
of
Oxfordshire
;
the
one
resolute
at
Greyes
,
the
other
valiant
at
Rycote
:
the
former
got
great
Estates
at
home
,
the
latter
attained
to
great
Honour
abroad
.
The
Knowles
were
beloved
by
the
Queen
for
their
own
sakes
,
the
Norrises
for
theirs
and
her
own
sake
:
the
Knowles
were
of
the
same
blood
with
her
Majesty
,
the
Norrises
spent
theirs
for
her
.

renowned
Heroe
.
7.
Sir
John
was
a
most
accomplished
General
,
no
less
eminent
for
his
safe
retreats
,
then
for
his
resolute
onsets
.
France
hath
recorded
this
testimony
of
him
,
That
he
brought
on
his
men
so
warily
,
as
one
that
could
bring
them
off
:
and
England
this
,
That
he
brought
them
off
so
resolutely
,
as
one
that
durst
bring
them
on
.
His
fortune
often
overthrew
his
enemy
,
and
his
wisdome
oftner
saved
his
friends
:
His
Conduct
was
famous
,
and
his
Discipline
exact
:
His
Actions
are
Presidents
,
and
his
Orders
Laws
of
War
to
this
day
.
He
was
bred
under
Castilion
,
and
out-did
him
.
Ireland
was
always
possessed
,
but
never
conquered
till
Norris
came
,
who
could
lie
on
the
coldest
earth
,
swim
the
deepest
Rivers
,
|
Norris
could
not
rise
though
he
deserved
his
Honour
,
because
of
Leicester
that
favoured
his
Brother
,
Knowles
and
Essex
that
envyed
him
;
neither
could
Knowls
advance
because
of
Sussex
that
feared
,
and
Cecil
that
suspected
him
.
The
Knowles
were
deserving
,
but
modest
;
favoured
,
but
humble
;
powerful
,
but
quiet
;
rather
firm
at
Court
,
then
high
;
allied
to
the
Queen
,
and
faithful
to
the
Crown
.
Queen
Elizabeth
advanced
Sir
Francis
to
the
Vicechamberlainship
,
Treasurership
of
the
Houshold
,
Captainship
of
the
Guard
,
and
the
Order
of
the
Garter
,
because
she
said
,
He
was
an
honest
man
;
and
King
James
and
King
Charles
raised
his
Son
Sir
William
to
the
Earldome
of
Banbury
,
because
he
was
a
serviceable
man
.

Bog
;
who
could
endure
any
thing
but
an
affront
,
and
a
Superiour
:
the
first
whereof
,
upon
a
repulse
at
Court
,
saddened
his
heart
;
as
the
second
,
upon
another
Deputies
being
sent
over
him
,
broke
it
.
Unsuccessful
he
was
with
Don
Antonio
in
Spain
,
because
he
understood
not
the
Country
.
In
the
Low-Countries
he
gained
experience
first
,
and
then
victory
:
in
Ireland
he
had
Connaught
for
his
Grave
,
Mount
-
Norris
his
Monument
,
and
the
Letter
of
Queen
Elizabeth
to
his
Mother
his
Epitaph
.

Honestly
faithful
was
that
family
to
their
Mistress
that
was
,
and
providently
so
were
they
to
their
Master
that
should
be
.
Handsom
men
they
were
when
attending
at

My
Lord
Norris
his
resolution
was
very
becoming
in
the
demand
of
Calice
.

Francis

his
meekness
was

perswasions

In
88
,
My
Lord
Hunsdon
guarded
the
Queens
person
with
34000
foot
,
and
2000
horse
;
the
Earl
of
Leicester
commanded
the
Midland
Army
of
22000
foot
,
and
1000
horse
:
Sir
Roger
Williams
and
Sir
Richard
Bingham
were
in
the
head
of
20000
in
the
Thames
mouth
,
and
Sir
John
Norris
and
Sir
Francis
Knowles
with
other
Assistants
sate
in
the
Council
of
War
to
overlook
all
.
Sir
John
advised
three
things
:
1.
The
Guarding
of
the
Havens
.
2.
The
Training
of
the
Militia
,
and
the
preparing
of
them
to
be
at
an
hours
warning
upon
a
signal
given
,
which
was
then
the
firing
of
a
Beacon
.
3.
That
if
the
Enemy
did
land
,
the
Country
should
be
laid
waste
before
him
,
the
Train-bands
alarming
him
day
and
night
.
Sir
Francis
added
,
1.
What
Shires
and
what
numbers
should
assist
each
Coast
,
how
the
men
should
be
armed
,
how
commanded
,
and
in
what
order
they
should
fight
.
2.
That
the
Papists
should
not
be
massacred
,
as
some
would
have
it
,
but
secured
.
3.
That
the
Deputy
of
Ireland
should
be
instructed
.
4.
That
the
King
of
Scots
should
be
engaged
.
5.
That
Agents
should
be
sent
to
the
Netherlands
and
to
France
.
And
,
6.
That
the
Queen
should
encourage
the
people
with
her
own
presence
.
Sir
John
Norris
died
when
he
saw
beyond
others
expectation
and
his
own
merit
,
the
Lord
Burghe
made
Lord-Deputy
,
and
himself
but
President
of
Munster
;
his
great
minde
sinking
under
one
affront
from
his
Soveraign
,
which
had
born
up
against
all
the
assaults
of
her
enemies
;
leaving
this
honour
behinde
him
,
That
he
laid
the
best
grounds
of
Military
practice
in
England
.
But
who
can
stand
before
Envy
?
A
further
Character
of
Sir
John
Norris
from
Queen
Elizabeths
Letter
to
his
Mother
.
My
own
Crow
,
HArm
not
your self
for
bootless
help
,
but
shew
a
good
example
to
comfort
your
dolorous
yoak-fellow
.
Although
we
have
deferred
long
to
represent
to
you
our
grieved
thoughts
,
because
we
liked
full
ill
to
yeild
you
the
first
reflexion
of
misfortune
,
whom
we
have
always
rather
sought
to
cherish
and
comfort
;
yet
knowing
now
,
that
Nec'ssity
must
bring
it
to
your
ear
,
and
Nature
consequently
must
move
both
grief
and
passion
in
your
heart
;
We
resolved
no
longer
to
smother
,
neither
our
care
for
your
sorrow
,
or
the
sympathy
of
our
grief
for
your
loss
.
Wherein
if
it
be
true
,
That
Society
in
sorrow
works
diminution
,
We
do
assure
you
by
this
true
Messenger
of
our
minde
,
that
Nature
can
have
stirred
no
more
dolorous
affection
in
you
as
a
Mother
for
a
dear
Son
,
then
Gratefulness
and
memory
of
his
Service
past
,
hath
wrought
in
Us
his
Soveraign
apprehension
of
our
miss
for
so
worthy
a
Servant
.
But
now
that
Natures
common
work
is
done
,
and
he
that
was
born
to
die
hath
paid
his
Tribute
,
let
that
Christian
discretion
stay
the
flux
of
your
immoderate
grieving
,
which
hath
instructed
you
both
for
example
and
knowledge
,
that
nothing
in
this
kinde
hath
happened
but
by
Gods
Divine
Providence
.
And
let
these
Lines
from
your
loving
gracious
Soveraign
serve
to
assure
you
,
that
there
shall
ever
appear
the
lively
Character
of
our
Estimation
of
him
that
was
,
in
our
gracious
care
of
you
and
yours
that
are
left
,
in
valuing
rightly
all
their
faithful
and
honest
Endeavours
.
More
at
this
time
we
will
not
write
of
this
unpleasant
subject
,
but
have
dispatched
this
Gentleman
to
visit
both
your
Lord
and
you
,
and
to
condole
with
you
in
the
true
sense
of
your
love
;
and
to
pray
that
the
world
may
see
what
time
cureth
in
a
weak
minde
,
that
Discretion
and
Moderation
helpeth
in
you
in
this
accident
,
where
there
is
so
just
cause
to
demonstrate
true
Patience
and
Moderation
.

onely
in
an
excess
of
heat

to
fall
in

for
having
good
parts
to
act
,
an
easie
nature
to
comply
,
and
a
good
disposition
to
be
imposed
on
,
he
was
raised
to
play
others
parts
rather
then
his
own
,
in
those
intricate
and
dark
times
,
when
fools
were
put
to
execute
what
wise
men
advised
;
and
the
world
saw
but
the
plain-side
of
the
great
watch
of
State
,
within
which
all
the
Springs
were
inclosed
and
hid

was

to
seem

fool
,
and
so
lie
out
of
the
reach

appears
from
his
Negotiations
,
that
were
either
payment
of
money
in
the
Netherlands
,
a
Merchants
business
;
or
taking
security
of
the
Merchants
in
France
,
a
Scriveners
part
;
or
pacifying

tumult
in

,

of

Clerk
of

Council
and
he
were
joyned
in

,
always
to
deal
with
the
Scots
;
the
one
the
austerest
,
and
the
other
the
sweetest
man
living
.
When
the
first
frighted
those
rude
people
with
Expostulations
,
the
second
got
into
them
with
infinuations
.
A
hard
and
a
soft
,
a
Hammer
and
a
Cushion
,
breaks
a
Flint
;
Fear
and
Love
rule
the
world
.
His
grand
Case
,
as
that
great
Historian
layeth
it
,
is
briefly
this
:
Many
Protestants
thought
themselves
in
danger
while
the
Queen
of
Scots
was
alive
;
many
Papists
thought
themselves
undone
while
she
was
imprisoned
:
these
last
press
her
to
some
dangerous
undertakings
;
of
the
first
,
some
were
for
securing
,
others
for
transporting
,
and
a
third
party
for
poysoning
her
:
to
which
purpose
many
Overtures
were
made
,
though
yet
none
durst
undertake
it
that
had
either
Estate
or
honour
to
loose
;
being
so
wise
as
not
to
understand
what
was
meant
by
the
strange
Letters
that
were
sent
,
else
they
might
have
faln
into
this
Gentlemans
fortune
;
who
unadvisedly
venturing
between
the
honour
and
safety
of
his
Soveraign
,
was
ground
to
nothing
betwixt
the
fear
of
one
party
,
and
the
shame
of
the
other
.
But
this
mild
,
but
stout
,
because
honest
man
,
was
not
so
weak
in
the
perpetration
of
this
fault
,
as
he
was
wise
in
his
Apology
for
it
,
saying
,
He
would
not
confess
a
guilt
,
and
betray
his
integrity
;
nor
yet
stand
upon
a
Justification
,
and
forget
his
Duty
.
He
would
neither
contest
with
his
Soveraign
,
nor
disparage
himself
;
but
clear
himself
as
an
honest
man
,
and
submit
as
a
thankful
servant
,
and
a
good
subject
.
DAzled
thus
with
heighth
of
place
,
Whilst
our
hopes
our
wits
beguile
,
F.

No
man
marks
the

Twixt

Then
,
since
Fortunes
favours
fade
,
You
,
that
in
her
arms
do
sleep
,
Learn
to
swim
,
and
not
to
wade
;
For
,
the
hearts
of
Kings
are
deep
.
But
,
if
Greatness
be
so
blind
As
to
trust
in
Towers
of
Air
,
Let
it
be
with
Goodness
lin'd
,
That
at
least
the
fall
be
fair
.
Then
though
darkned
,
you
shall
say
,
When
friends
fail
,
and
Princes
frown
,
Vertue
is
the
roughest
way

of

Chancel
of
Christ-Church

many
ancient
Inscriptions

He
and
Dr.
Wotton
setled
Trade
between

removed
the

and
both
were
famous
for
their
reservedness
in
the
case
of
succession
,

they
kept
locked
in
their
own
breasts
;
so
always
resolved
to
do
,
(
notwithstanding
Leicesters
Sollicitations
of
them
to
a
Declaration
for
the
Queen
of
Scots
now
his
Mistress
,

hereafter
in

of
Englands
designe
to
be
his
Wife

unless
(
as
they
alledged
)
their
Mistress
commanded
their
Opinion
;
who
certainly
never
heard
any
more
unwillingly
then
the
controversie
about
the
Title
of
Succession
:
and
both
as
famous
for
their
disswasion
against
the
making
of
the
Netherland
a
Free-State

urging
that
of
Machiavel
,
That
People
accustomed
to
live
under
a
Prince
,
if
by
any
accident
they
become
free
,
are
like
beasts

loose

he
had
almost
taken
Feagh
Mae
Hugh
,
or
shut
him
up
;
and
under
the
disguize
of
a
progress
,
he
shut
up
all
the
Passages
and
Avenues
of
Tyrone
.
Agiges
the
Cre●an
King
would
say
,
That
he
that
would
govern
many
,
must
fight
with
many
:
Our
Deputy
found
that
great
Honour
hath
its
great
Difficulties
;
yet
was
he
so
constant
and
resolute
,
that
with
Marcellus
he
would
say
,
That
as
there
are
many
things
a
good
Governour
ought
not
to
attempt
;
so
ought
be
not
to
desist
,
or
give
over
an
Enterprize
once
begun
and
taken
in
band
.
Therefore
his
Character
is
One
daring
in
his
person
,
close
to
his
purpose
,
firm
to
his
dependencies
,
of
a
deep
and
large
soul
;
who
looked
upon
the
chargeable
War
in
Ireland
as
an
equal
remedy
against
a
worse
in
England
,
to
the
letting
of
blood
in
one
part
,
against
the
effusion
of
it
in
another
:
and
advised
the
bestowing
of
Church-lands
among
the
Nobility
of
both
Perswasions
in
Ireland
,
as
in
England
,
who
would
then
hold
their
Religion
with
their
Land
,
in
Capite
,
and
stick
to
the
Queen
as
the
great
support
of
both
,
against
all
pretenders
,
whom
then
most
would
vigorously
oppose
,
and
all
would
fairly
leave
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Thomas
Roper
.
SIr
Thomas
Roper
,
Servant
to
Queen
Elizabeth
,
was
born
in
Friday-street
in
London
;
whose
Grandfather
was
a
younger
son
of
the
house
of
Heanour
in
Derbyshire
.
He
going
over
into
the
Low-Countries
,
became
Page
to
Sir
John
Norrice
,
and
was
Captain
of
a
Foot-company
at
sixteen
years
of
Age.
What
afterwards
his
Martial
Performances
were
,
will
appear
by
the
following
Lines
transcribed
out
of
the
Originall
of
his
Patent
.
Whereas
Thomas
Roper
Knight
,
one
of
our
Privy-Councellours
of
the
Kingdome
of
Ireland
,
long
since
bath
been
known
unto
us
famous
,
with
the
splendour
of
his
warlike
Vertue
;
as
who
by
the
many
Atchievments
valiantly
performed
by
him
in
the
late
War
of
this
Kingdome
,
hath
gained
the
eminent
Repute
both
of
a
stout
Souldier
,
and
a
discreet
Commander
;
whose
Valour
chiefly
appeared
in
his
Retreat
near
le
Boyle
in
our
Province
of
Connaught
,
where
with
very
few
horse
he
undauntedly
charged
great
troops
of
the
horse
of
the
Enemy
,
who
in
a
hostile
manner
forraged
the
very
bowels
of
the
Kingdome
;
and
by
his
wisdome
made
such
a
singular
retreat
,
that
he
not
onely
saved
himself
and
his
men
,
but
also
delivered
the
whole
Army
from
great
danger
,
and
slew
very
many
of
his
Enemies
.
Who
also
when
our
Province
of
Ulster
was
all
on
fire
with
war
,
being
one
out
of
many
,
was
for
the
tried
Resolutios
of
his
Mind
,
chosen
by
the
Right
honourable
the
Earl
of
Essex
,
then
General
of
the
Army
,
to
undertake
a
Duel
with
Makal
,
and
declined
not
to
expose
himself
to
the
appointed
Duel
.
And
also
when
the
aforesaid
Thomas
Roper
in
the
late
war
in
the
Kingdome
of
France
at
Brest
,
by
exposing
himself
to
the
greatest
perils
,
and
shedding
of
his
own
blood
,
demonstrated
his
Courage
to
be
unconquerable
.
Who
also
in
the
Voyage
to
Portugal
,
behaved
himself
valiantly
and
honourably
:
as
also
at
Bergen
in
the
Netherlands
,
when
it
was
besieged
by
the
Spaniards
,
approved
himself
a
young
man
of
invincible
Valour
in
the
defence
thereof
.
Who
also
in
the
day
wherein
Kinsale
was
assaulted
,
was
placed
in
the
first
Rank
,
nearest
of
all
unto
the
Town
;
and
with
no
less
Success
then
Valour
,
to
the
great
safety
of
the
whole
Army
,
beat
back
,
and
put
to
flight
the
Spaniards
,
who
in
the
same
day
made
several
Sallies
out
of
the
Town
.
Know
therefore
,
that
We
,
in
intuition
of
the
Premises
,
have
appointed
the
aforesaid
Thomas
Roper
Knight
,
&c.
Then
followeth
his
Patent
,
wherein
King
Charles
the
first
,
in
the
third
of
his
Reign
,
created
him
Baron
of
Bauntree
,
and
Viscount
B●ltinglass
in
Ireland
.
He
was
a
principal
means
to
break
the
hearts
of
the
Irish
Rebels
:
for
whereas
formerly
the
English
were
loaded
with
their
own
Cloaths
,
so
that
their
slipping
into
Bogs
did
make
them
,
and
the
clopping
of
their
breeches
did
keep
them
prisoners
therein
;
he
first
,
being
then
a
Commander
,
put
himself
into
Irish
Tro●zes
,
and
was
imitated
first
by
all
his
Officers
,
then
Souldiers
;
so
that
thus
habited
,
they
made
the
more
effectual
execution
on
their
enemies
.
He
died
at
Ropers
Rest
,
anno
Dom.
164.
and
was
buried
with
Anne
his
Wife
(
Daughter
to
Sir
Henry
Harrington
)
in
St.
Johns
Church
in
Dublin
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Henry
Umpton
.
SIr
Henry
Vmpton
was
born
at
Wadley
in
Barkshire
.
He
was
son
to
Sir
Edward
Vmpton
,
by
Anne
(
the
Relict
of
John
Dudley
Earl
of
Warwick
,
and
)
the
eldest
Daughter
of
Edward
Seymour
Duke
of
Somerset
.
He
was
employed
by
Queen
Elizabeth
Embassador
into
France
;
where
he
so
behaved
himself
right
stoutly
in
her
behalf
,
as
may
appear
by
this
particular
.
In
the
moneth
of
March
,
anno
1592
,
being
sensible
of
some
injury
offered
by
the
Duke
of
Guise
to
the
Queen
of
England
,
he
sent
him
this
ensuing
Challenge
.
For
as
much
as
lately
in
the
Lodging
of
my
Lord
Du
Mayne
,
and
in
publick
elsewhere
,
impudently
,
indiscreetly
,
and
over-boldly
you
spoke
badly
of
my
Soveraign
,
whose
sacred
Person
here
in
this
Country
I
represent
:
To
maintain
both
by
word
and
weapon
her
Honour
,
(
which
never
was
called
in
question
among
people
of
Honesty
and
Vertue
)
I
say
,
you
have
wickedly
lyed
in
speaking
so
basely
of
my
Soveraign
;
and
you
shall
do
nothing
else
but
lye
,
whensoever
you
shall
dare
to
tax
her
Honour
:
Moreover
,
that
her
sacred
Person
(
being
one
of
the
most
compleat
and
vertuous
Princess
that
lives
in
this
world
)
ought
not
to
be
evil
spoken
of
the
tongue
of
such
a
perfidiour
Traytor
to
her
Law
and
Country
as
you
are
.
And
hereupon
I
do
defie
you
,
and
challenge
your
person
to
mine
,
with
such
manner
of
Arms
as
you
shall
like
or
chuse
,
be
it
either
on
horse-back
or
on
foot
.
Nor
would
I
have
you
to
think
any
inequality
of
Person
between
us
,
I
being
issued
of
as
great
a
Race
and
Noble
House
(
every
way
)
as
your self
.
So
assigning
me
an
indifferent
place
,
I
will
there
maintain
my
words
,
and
the
lye
which
I
gave
you
,
and
which
you
should
not
endure
if
you
have
any
courage
at
all
is
you
.
If
you
consent
not
to
meet
me
hereupon
,
I
wil
hold
you
,
and
cause
you
to
be
generally
held
one
of
the
arrantest
Cowards
,
and
most
slanderous
Slave
that
lives
in
all
France
.
I
expect
your
answer
.
I
finde
not
what
Answer
was
returned
.
This
Sir
Henry
dying
in
the
French
Kings
Camp
before
Lofear
,
had
his
Corpse
brought
over
to
London
,
and
carried
in
a
Coach
to
Wadley
,
thence
to
Farington
,
where
he
was
buried
in
the
Church
on
Tuesday
the
eighth
of
July
1596.
He
had
allowed
him
a
Barons
Hearse
,
because
he
died

.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Earl
of
Essex
.
IT
is
observed
,
that
the
Earl
of
Essex
had
his
Introduction
to
favour
by
the
Lord
of
Leicester
,
who
had
married
his
Mother
;
a
tye
of
Affinity
.
This
young
Lord
was
a
most
goodly
person
,
in
whom
was
a
kind
of
Urbanity
,
or
innate
Courtesie
,
which
both
won
the
Queen
,
and
too
much
took
upon
the
People
,
to
gaze
upon
the
new-adopted
Son
of
her
favour
.
He
was
noted
even
of
those
that
truly
loved
and
honoured
him
,
for
too
bold
an
Ingrosser
both
of
Fame
and
Favour
.
Having
upon
occasion
left
the
Court
for
a
while
,
he
gave
a
fair
opportunity
for
his
foes
to
undermine
him
;
so
that
he
lived
a
mixture
between
Prosperity
and
Adversity
:
once
very
great
in
her
favour
,
which
was
afterwards
lost
,
for
want
of
consideration
and
cunningness
.
He
was
raised
by
Leicester
to
prize
Rawley
,
as
Rawley
was
by
Sussex
to
check
Leicester
.
Indeed
Pity
first
opened
the
door
to
him
for
his
Fathers
sake
that
died
in
Ireland
,
Alliance
led
him
in
for
his
Father-in-laws
sake
[
](A48796-e79960-b)a
a
Leicester
.
See
Sir
H.
Wottons
Observalions
.
that
reigned
at
Court
.
His
own
Royal
Blood
welcomed
him
for
his
Mother
Knowles
,
that
was
kin
to
her
Majesty
;
his
good
Parts
,
his
tall
and
comely
Personage
,
his
sweet
Disposition
,
and
incomparable
Nature
;
his
noble
Ancestors
,
his
fair
,
though
impaired
Fortune
,
brought
him
first
to
favour
,
and
then
to
dalliance
.
He
was
a
Master-piece
of
Court
and
Camp
;
his
Beauty
ennamelling
his
Valour
,
and
his
Valour
being
a
foile
to
his
Beauty
;
both
drawing
those
noble
respects
of
love
and
honour
;
both
awing
,
both
endearing
.
It
was
his
Nobleness
that
he
distrusted
none
,
it
was
his
Weakness
that
he
trusted
all
;
whereby
he
suffered
more
from
those
that
should
have
been
his
friends
,
then
from
them
who
were
his
enemies
.
Good
Man
!
his
ruine
was
,
that
he
measured
other
breasts
by
his
own
;
and
that
he
thought
Mankinde
was
as
innocent
as
his
own
person
.
His
Merit
gained
applause
,
and
his
Parasites
swelled
it
to
Popularity
;
and
the
last
enjealousied
that
Majesty
which
the
first
had
obliged
.
His
youthful
and
rash
Sallies
abroad
,
gave
too
much
opportunity
to
his
Enemies
whispers
,
and
too
visible
occasions
for
her
Majesties
suspicion
,
that
he
was
either
weak
,
and
so
not
to
be
favoured
;
or
dangerous
,
and
so
to
be
suppressed
.
Absence
makes
Princes
forget
those
they
love
,
and
mistrust
those
they
fear
.
Exact
Correspondence
is
the
sinew
of
private
and
of
publick
friendship
.
So
great
a
Master
he
thought
himself
of
his
Soveraigns
affection
,
that
he
must
needs
be
Master
of
himself
,
and
steal
to
France
without
leave
,
where
,
said
the
Queen
,
he
might
have
been
knocked
on
the
head
as
Sidney
was
.
His
Journey
to
France
was
not
more
rash
,
then
his
Voyage
to
Cales
was
renowned
;
yet
the
one
gave
the
Envious
arguments
of
his
disobedience
,
and
the
other
of
his
Disloyalty
;
his
enemies
suggesting
,
that
in
the
first
he
contemned
his
Mistress
,
and
that
in
the
second
he
had
a
designe
upon
her
.
His
Action
at
Cales
was
applauded
;
but
his
Triumphs
were
too
solemn
,
his
Panegyricks
too
high
,
his
Train
too
Princely
,
his
Honours
and
Knighthoods
too
cheap
,
his
Popularity
too
much
affected
,
and
his
Ear
more
open
to
hear
what
he
had
done
,
then
what
he
was
.
If
his
Manhood
had
been
as
slow
as
his
[
](A48796-e80110-b)b
b
He
was
one
of
them
whose
Natures
disclose
but
slowly
.
Youth
,
he
had
been
moderate
:
if
his
Life
had
answered
his
[
](A48796-e80120-b)c
c
Under
Dr.
Whitgift
.
Education
,
he
had
been
patient
:
if
his
Eye
had
been
as
open
upon
his
Enemies
,
as
his
Ear
to
his
friends
,
he
had
been
cautious
:
if
he
had
been
as
happy
in
his
constant
converse
,
as
he
was
obliging
in
his
first
address
,
he
had
been
a
Prince
:
if
he
had
had
either
less
Fortune
,
or
a
greater
Soul
;
either
less
of
the
Dove
,
or
more
of
the
Serpent
,
he
had
bid
fair
for
a
Crown
;
or
at
least
had
saved
his
Head
.
The
People
wished
him
well
,
but
they
are
unconstant
;
the
Queen
loved
him
,
but
she
is
jealous
:
his
Followers
are
numerous
,
but
giddy
;
affectionate
,
but
ill
advice
:
his
Enemies
are
few
,
but
watchful
on
all
occasions
:
for
is
he
pleased
?
they
swell
it
to
pride
and
vain
imaginations
:
is
he
crossed
?
they
improve
it
to
discontent
and
sedition
.
An
Army
must
be
sent
against
Tyrone
;
he
is
not
willing
that
any
other
should
lead
it
,
and
unwilling
to
lead
it
himself
;
yet
over
he
goeth
fatally
:
for
the
service
was
knotty
,
and
his
disposition
smooth
;
his
power
was
large
,
but
that
with
as
large
a
minde
intangled
him
:
his
Army
was
great
,
but
that
meeting
with
a
great
designe
,
precipitated
him
:
his
Title
to
the
Crown
was
defended
,
but
that
lost
him
his
head
.
He
had
exact
advices
from
friends
,
especially
from
Sir
Francis
Bacon
;
and
great
directions
from
his
Prince
,
but
he
followed
his
own
:
when
he
should
have
fought
the
main
body
of
his
Enemy
,
he
skirmisheth
their
Forlorns
;
when
he
should
have
returned
with
a
noble
Conquest
,
he
stole
home
after
a
suspitious
Treaty
:
the
Royal
Checks
that
should
have
instructed
,
incenseth
him
;
and
what
was
designed
a
chastisement
,
he
turns
to
a
ruine
.
Beloved
he
is
of
the
People
,
but
that
aggravateth
his
rashness
;
flattered
by
Courtiers
,
but
that
swelleth
his
humour
:
followed
he
is
by
the
discontented
of
Church
and
State
,
but
that
increaseth
the
jealousie
:
ill
advised
he
is
by
heady
Cuffe
and
Meyriche
,
and
that
hasteneth
his
fall
:
humbled
he
is
by
the
advancement
of
his
Rivals
,
and
that
enrageth
him
:
easie
and
open
was
his
Nature
;
close
,
active
,
and
vigilant
his
Enemies
.
Valiant
he
was
,
but
therefore
feared
;
Noble
and
obliging
to
all
hopeful
men
,
and
therefore
watched
.
A
great
Party
he
had
,
but
they
had
no
Head
:
A
Minion
he
was
at
once
to
Prince
and
People
,
but
he
had
no
Balance
.
A
Man
of
great
Performances
,
but
no
Designe
:
One
that
had
too
much
Religion
and
Fidelity
to
be
a
Traytor
,
too
good
a
Nature
to
be
safe
,
too
much
presumption
on
affections
when
absent
to
be
steady
.
He
presumed
too
much
on
his
own
strength
,
or
his
friends
wisdome
,
when
he
came
out
of
Ireland
;
he
was
too
much
wrought
upon
by
his
enemies
when
he
came
to
London
,
which
had
too
much
to
loose
to
hazard
a
Rebellion
;
and
went
not
to
Wales
,
where
his
fathers
and
his
own
goodness
had
engaged
1000
Lives
and
Fortunes

a

to
his
Parts
and
Presence
,
his
Valour
and
Liberality
,
his
good
Nature
and
large
Heart
:
his
favour
with
his
Prince
,
and
popularity
with
the
Subjects
,
had
raised
him
to
a
capacity
with
the
great
Earl
of
Warwick
,
to
set
the
English
Crown
on
what
Head
he
pleased
;
although
it
was
the
universal
opinion
,
he
had
no
other
ambition
then
to
set
it
on
King
James
his
head
,
which
it
belonged
to
,
with
his
own
hands
:
his
designe
was
well
principled
,
but
not
well
moulded
;
he
had
many
hands
,
but
no
able
heads
:
his
correspondence
was
universal
,
but
not
firm
and
exact
;
his
Nature
was
active
,
but
impatient
;
his
Interest
was
popular
,
not
throughly
understood
;
he
neither
comprehending
the
Inclinations
of
the
Kingdome
in
gross
in
Parliament
,
nor
in
the
retayl
in
its
particular
divisions
.
The
Catholicks
might
have
been
his
,
but
he
was
too
good-natured
to
cajole
them
:
the
State
was
well
inclined
,
but
effeminate
after
so
long
Prosperity
.
Hope
of
Pardon
sent
him
to
his
Grave
with
more
silence
then
was
expected
from
him
,
and
the
Peoples
regret
;
and
with
more
sorrow
then
became
a
Queen
or
her
Kingdoms
a
safety
.
His
Party
was
too
needy
,
and
their
counsels
too
violent
.
Ambition
and
good
Nature
are
incompatible
.
Others
counsels
are
never
so
faithful
as
our
own
.
When
we
hear
others
advice
,
let
our
Reason
judge
of
it
:
when
great
,
be
wary
;
when
successful
,
reserved
;
when
rising
,
stayed
;
especially
in
that
Age
when
men
were
poysoned
with
Oyl
,
and
undone
with
Honey
:
when
active
,
modest
;
when
checked
,
yeilding
;
when
dandled
,
distrustful
;
when
flattered
,
fearful
;
when
great
,
not
absolute
,
(
as
my
Lord
would
have
been
in
point
of
favour
against
my
Lord
Mountjoy
,
and
valour
against
my
Lord
Norris
.
)
Serve
not
your
Followers
,
but
employ
them
:
Let
others
service
administer
to
your
designe
,
not
your
power
to
theirs
:
Let
great
Actions
encourage
greater
;
and
let
Honour
be
your
merit
,
and
not
your
expectation
.
Some
have
been
busie
in
the
enquiry
of
what
reason
the
Virgin-Queen
had
for
her
kindness
to
Leicester
and
this
man
,
(
if
there
be
a
reason
in
any
,
much
less
in
Royal
love
,
save
the
affection
its
self
that
bears
it
)
true
,
he
had
Vertue
and
suffering
enough
at
his
first
arrival
to
engage
the
kindness
and
the
pity
of
a
worse
Princess
:
yet
some
then
discoursed
of
a
Conjunction
of
their
Stars
that
made
way
for
that
of
their
minds
.
Certainly
(
saith
Cambden
)
the
inclination
of
Princes
to
some
persons
,
and
their
disfavour
towards
others
,
may
seem
fatal
,
and
guided
by
higher
Powers
.
A
Parallel
between
the
Earl
of
Essex
and
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
by
H.
W.
THe
beginning
of
the
Earl
of
Essex
I
must
attribute
wholly
,
or
in
great
part
to
my
Lord
of
Leicester
;
but
yet
as
an
Introducer
or
supporter
,
not
as
a
Teacher
:
for
as
I
go
along
,
it
will
easily
appear
,
that
he
neither
lived
nor
died
by
his
Discipline
.
Always
certain
it
is
,
that
he
drew
him
first
into
the
fatal
Circle
from
a
kinde
of
resolved
privateness
at
his
house
at
Lampsie
,
in
South-wales
;
where
,
after
the
Academical
life
,
he
had
taken
such
a
taste
of
the
Rural
,
(
as
I
have
heard
him
say
)
and
not
upon
any
flashes
or
fumes
of
Melancholy
,
or
traverses
of
discontent
,
but
in
a
serene
and
quiet
mood
,
that
he
could
well
have
bent
his
mind
to
a
retired
course
.
About
which
time
,
the
said
Earl
of
Leicester
bewrayed
a
meaning
to
plant
him
in
the
Queens
favour
:
which
was
diversly
interpreted
by
such
as
thought
that
great
Artizan
of
Court
to
do
nothing
by
chance
,
nor
much
by
affection
.
Some
therefore
were
of
opinion
,
that
feeling
more
and
more
in
himself
the
weight
of
time
,
and
being
almost
tired
(
if
there
be
a
satiety
in
power
)
with
that
assiduous
attendance
,
and
intensive
circumspection
which
a
long-indulgent
fortune
did
require
,
he
was
grown
not
unwilling
,
for
his
own
ease
,
to
bestow
handsomely
upon
another
some
part
of
the
pains
,
and
perhaps
of
the
envy
.
Others
conceived
rather
,
that
having
before
for
the
same
ends
brought
in
,
or
let
in
Sir
Walter
Rawleigh
,
and
having
found
him
such
an
Apprentice
as
knew
well
enough
how
to
set
up
for
himself
,
he
now
meant
to
allie
him
with
this
young
Earl
,
who
had
yet
taken
no
strong
impressions
.
For
though
the
said
Sir
Walter
Rawleigh
was
a
little
before
this
,
whereof
I
now
speak
by
occasion
,
much
fallen
from
his
former
splendour
in
Court
:
yet
he
still
continued
in
some
lustre
of
a
favoured
man
,
like
billows
that
sink
by
degrees
,
even
when
the
wind
is
down
that
first
stirred
them
.
Thus
runs
the
discourse
of
that
time
at
pleasure
;
yet
I
am
not
ignorant
that
there
was
some
good
while
a
very
stiff
aversation
in
my
Lord
of
Essex
from
applying
himself
to
the
Earl
of
Leicester
,
for
what
secret
conceit
I
know
not
;
but
howsoever
,
that
humour
was
mollified
by
time
,
and
by
his
mother
;
and
to
the
Court
he
came
under
his
Lord
.
The
Duke
of
Buckingham
had
another
kinde
of
Germination
;
and
surely
had
he
been
a
plant
,
he
would
have
been
reckoned
amongst
the
Sponte
Nascentes
:
for
he
sprung
without
any
help
by
a
kinde
of
congenial
composure
(
as
we
may
term
it
)
to
the
likeness
of
our
late
Soveraign
and
Master
of
ever
blessed
memory
;
who
taking
him
into
his
regard
,
taught
him
more
and
more
to
please
himself
,
and
moulded
him
.
(
as
it
were
)
Platonically
to
his
own
Idea
;
delighting
first
in
the
choice
of
the
Materials
,
because
he
found
him
susceptible
of
good
form
;
and
afterward
by
degrees
,
as
great
Architects
use
to
do
,
in
the
workmanship
of
his
Regal
hand
:
nor
staying
here
,
after
he
had
hardned
and
polished
him
about
ten
years
in
the
School
of
observance
,
(
for
so
a
Court
is
)
and
in
the
furnace
of
tryal
about
himself
,
(
for
he
was
a
King
could
peruse
men
as
well
as
Books
)
he
made
him
the
associate
of
his
Heir
apparent
,
together
with
the
new
Lord
Cottington
(
as
an
adjunct
of
singular
experience
and
trust
)
in
forraign
travels
,
and
in
a
business
of
love
,
and
of
no
equal
hazard
(
if
the
tenderness
of
our
zeal
did
not
then
deceive
us
)
enough
(
the
world
must
confess
)
to
kindle
affection
even
betwixt
the
distantest
conditions
;
so
as
by
the
various
and
inward
conversation
abroad
,
(
besides
that
before
and
after
at
home
)
with
the
most
constant
and
best-natured
Prince
,
Bona
si
sua
norint
,
as
ever
England
enjoyed
,
this
Duke
becomes
now
secondly
seized
of
favour
,
as
it
were
by
descent
,
(
though
the
condition
of
that
estate
be
no
more
then
a
Tenancy
at
Will
,
or
at
most
for
the
life
of
the
first
Lord
)
and
rarely
transmitted
:
which
I
have
briefly
set
down
,
without
looking
beyond
the
vail
of
the
Temple
,
I
mean
into
the
secret
of
high
inclinations
;
since
even
Satyrical
Poets
,
(
who
are
otherwise
of
so
licentious
fancy
)
are
in
this
point
modest
enough
to
confess
their
ignorance
.
Nescio
quid
certa
est
quod
me
tibi
temperet
Astrum
.
And
these
were
both
their
Springings
and
Imprimings
,
as
I
may
call
them
.
In
the
profluence
or
proceedings
of
their
fortunes
,
I
observe
likewise
not
onely
much
difference
between
them
,
but
in
the
Earl
not
a
little
from
himself
.
First
,
all
his
hopes
of
advancement
had
like
to
be
strangled
almost
in
the
very
Cradle
,
by
throwing
himself
into
the
Portugal
Voyage
without
the
Queens
consent
,
or
so
much
as
her
knowledge
;
whereby
he
left
his
Friends
and
Dependents
near
six
months
in
desperate
suspense
what
would
become
of
him
.
And
to
speak
truth
,
not
without
good
reason
:
For
first
,
they
might
well
consider
,
That
he
was
himself
not
well
plumed
in
favour
for
such
a
flight
:
besides
,
that
now
he
wanted
a
Lord
of
Leicester
at
home
(
for
he
was
dead
the
year
before
)
to
smooth
his
absence
,
and
to
quench
the
practices
at
Court
.
But
above
all
,
it
lay
open
to
every
mans
discourse
,
that
though
the
bare
offence
to
his
Soveraign
and
Mistriss
was
too
great
an
adventure
,
yet
much
more
when
she
might
(
as
in
this
case
)
have
fairly
discharged
her
displeasure
upon
her
Laws
.
Notwithstanding
,
a
noble
report
coming
home
before
him
,
at
his
return
all
was
clear
,
and
this
excursion
was
esteemed
but
a
Sally
of
youth
.
Nay
,
he
grew
every
day
more
and
more
in
her
gracious
conceit
:
whether
such
intermissions
as
these
do
sometimes
foment
affection
;
or
that
having
committed
a
fault
,
he
became
the
more
obsequious
and
plyant
to
redeem
it
;
or
that
she
had
not
received
into
her
Royal
Breast
any
shadows
of
his
popularity
.
There
was
another
time
long
after
,
when
Sir
Fulke
Grevil
,
(
late
Lord
Brooke
)
a
man
in
appearance
intrinsecal
with
him
,
or
at
the
least
admitted
to
his
Melancholy
hours
,
either
belike
espying
some
weariness
in
the
Queen
;
or
perhaps
,
with
little
change
of
the
word
,
though
more
in
the
danger-some
marks
towards
him
,
and
working
upon
the
present
matter
,
(
as
she
was
dexterous
and
close
)
had
almost
super-induced
into
favour
the
Earl
of
Southampton
;
which
yet
being
timely
discovered
,
my
Lord
of
Essex
chose
to
evaporate
his
thoughts
in
a
Sonnet
(
being
his
common
way
)
to
be
sung
before
the
Queen
,
(
as
it
was
)
by
one
Hales
,
in
whose
voyce
she
took
some
pleasure
;
whereof
the
complot
me
thinks
had
as
much
of
the
Hermit
as
of
the
Poet
:
And
if
thou
should'st
by
Her
be
now
forsaken
,
She
made
thy
Heart
too
strong
for
to
be
shaken
.
As
if
he
had
been
casting
one
eye
back
at
the
least
to
his
former
retiredness
.
But
all
this
likewise
quickly
vanished
,
and
there
was
a
good
while
after
fair
weather
over-head
.
Yet
still
,
I
know
not
how
,
like
a
gathering
of
Clouds
,
till
towards
his
latter
time
,
when
his
humours
grew
tart
,
as
being
now
in
the
Lees
of
favour
,
it
brake
forth
into
certain
suddain
recesses
;
sometimes
from
the
Court
to
Wansteed
,
otherwhiles
unto
Greenwich
,
often
to
his
own
Chamber
,
Doors
shut
,
Visits
forbidden
;
and
which
was
worse
,
divers
contestations
(
between
)
with
the
Queen
her self
,
(
all
preambles
of
ruine
)
wherewith
though
now
and
then
he
did
wring
out
of
her
Majesty
some
petty
contentments
,
(
as
a
man
would
press
sowre
Grapes
)
yet
in
the
mean
time
was
forgotten
the
counsel
of
a
wise
,
and
then
a
Prophetical
Friend
,
who
told
him
,
that
such
courses
as
those
were
like
hot
Waters
,
which
help
at
a
pang
,
but
if
they
be
too
often
used
,
will
spoil
the
stomack
.
On
the
Dukes
part
,
we
have
no
such
abrupt
strains
and
precipees
as
these
,
but
a
fair
,
fluent
and
uniform
course
under
both
Kings
:
And
surely
,
as
there
was
in
his
natural
Constitution
a
marvellous
equality
,
whereof
I
shall
speak
more
afterwards
;
so
there
was
an
image
of
it
in
his
Fortune
,
running
(
if
I
may
borrow
an
ancient
comparison
)
as
smoothly
as
a
numerous
Verse
,
till
it
met
with
certain
Rubs
in
Parliament
,
whereof
I
am
induced
by
the
very
subject
which
I
handle
,
to
say
somewhat
,
so
far
as
shall
concern
the
difference
between
their
times
.
WHen
my
Lord
of
Essex
stood
in
favour
,
the
Parliaments
were
calm
:
nay
,
I
find
it
a
true
observation
,
that
there
was
no
impeachment
of
any
Nobleman
by
the
Commons
from
the
Reign
of
King
Henry
the
sixth
,
until
the
eighteenth
of
King
James
,
nor
any
intervenient
precedent
of
that
nature
;
not
that
something
or
other
could
be
wanting
to
be
said
,
while
men
are
men
:
For
not
to
go
higher
,
we
are
taught
easily
so
much
by
the
very
Ballads
and
Libels
of
Leicestrian
time
.
But
about
the
aforesaid
year
,
many
young
ones
being
chosen
into
the
House
of
Commons
more
then
had
been
usual
in
great
Councils
,
(
who
though
of
the
weakest
wings
,
are
the
highest
Flyers
)
there
arose
a
certain
unfortunate
and
unfruitful
Spirit
in
some
places
;
not
sowing
,
but
picking
at
every
stone
in
the
field
,
rather
then
tending
to
the
general
harvest
.
And
thus
far
the
consideration
of
the
Nature
of
the
Time
hath
transported
me
,
and
the
occasion
of
the
subject
.
Now
on
the
other
side
,
I
must
with
the
like
liberty
observe
two
weighty
and
watchful
ollicitudes
,
(
as
I
may
call
them
)
which
kept
the
Earl
in
extream
and
continual
Caution
,
like
a
bow
still
bent
,
whereof
the
Dukes
thoughts
were
absolutely
free
.
First
,
he
was
to
wrestle
with
a
Queens
declining
,
or
rather
with
her
very
setting
Age
,
(
as
we
may
term
it
)
which
,
besides
other
respects
,
is
commonly
even
of
it self
the
more
umbratious
and
apprehensive
,
as
for
the
most
part
all
Horizons
are
charged
with
certain
Vapour
towards
their
Evening
.
The
other
was
a
matter
of
more
Circumstance
,
standing
thus
,
viz.
All
Princes
,
especially
those
whom
God
hath
not
blessed
with
natural
issue
,
are
(
by
wisdome
of
State
)
somewhat
shie
of
their
Successors
;
and
to
speak
with
due
Reverence
,
there
may
be
reasonably
supposed
in
Queens
Regnant
,
a
little
proportion
of
tenderness
that
way
,
more
then
in
Kings
.
Now
there
were
in
Court
two
names
of
Power
,
and
almost
of
Affection
,
the
Essexian
and
the
Cecilian
,
with
their
adherents
,
both
well
enough
enjoying
the
present
,
and
yet
both
looking
to
the
future
;
and
therefore
both
holding
correspondency
with
some
of
the
principal
in
Scotland
,
and
had
received
advertisements
and
instructions
,
either
from
them
,
or
immediately
from
the
King
as
induciat
Heir
of
this
Imperial
Crown
.
But
lest
they
might
detect
one
another
,
this
was
mysteriously
carried
by
several
instruments
and
conducts
,
and
on
the
Essexian
side
,
in
truth
,
with
infinite
hazard
:
for
Sir
Robert
Cecil
who
(
as
Secretary
of
State
)
did
dispose
the
publick
Addresses
,
had
prompter
and
safer
conveyance
;
whereupon
I
cannot
but
relate
a
memorable
passage
on
either
part
,
as
the
story
following
shall
declare
.
The
Earl
of
Essex
had
accommodated
Master
Anthony
Bacon
in
partition
of
his
House
,
and
had
assigned
him
a
noble
entertainment
.
This
was
a
Gentleman
of
impotent
feet
,
but
a
nimble
head
;
and
through
his
hand
run
all
the
intelligences
with
Scotland
:
who
being
of
a
provident
nature
,
(
contrary
to
his
brother
the
Lord
Viscount
Saint
Albans
)
and
well
knowing
the
advantage
of
a
dangerous
Secret
,
would
many
times
cunningly
let
fall
some
words
,
as
if
he
could
amend
his
Fortunes
under
the
Cecilians
,
(
to
whom
he
was
near
of
alliance
,
and
in
blood
also
)
and
who
had
made
(
as
he
was
not
unwilling
should
be
believed
)
some
great
profers
to
win
him
away
:
which
once
or
twice
he
pressed
so
far
,
and
with
such
tokens
and
signes
of
apparent
discontent
to
my
Lord
Henry
Howard
,
afterwards
Earl
of
Northampton
,
(
who
was
of
the
party
,
and
stood
himself
in
much
Umbrage
with
the
Queen
)
that
he
flees
presently
to
my
Lord
of
Essex
,
(
with
whom
he
was
commonly
prima
admissiones
)
by
his
bed-side
in
the
morning
,
and
tells
him
,
that
unless
that
Gentleman
were
presently
satisfied
with
some
round
sum
,
all
would
be
vented
.
This
took
the
Earl
at
that
time
ill
provided
,
(
as
indeed
oftentimes
his
Coffers
were
low
)
whereupon
he
was
fain
suddenly
to
give
him
Essex-house
;
which
the
good
old
Lady
Walsingham
did
afterwards
dis-engage
out
of
her
own
store
with
2500
pound
;
and
before
,
he
had
distilled
1500
pound
at
another
time
by
the
same
skill
.
So
as
we
rate
this
one
secret
,
as
it
was
finely
carried
,
at
4000
pounds
in
present
money
,
besides
at
the
least
1000
pound
of
annual
pension
to
a
private
and
bed-rid
Gentleman
:
What
would
he
have
gotten
if
he
could
have
gone
about
his
own
business
?
There
was
another
accident
of
the
same
nature
on
the
Cecilian
side
,
much
more
pleasant
,
but
less
chargeable
,
for
it
cost
nothing
but
wit
.
The
Queen
having
for
a
good
while
not
heard
any
thing
from
Scotland
,
and
being
thirsty
of
news
,
it
fell
out
that
her
Majesty
going
to
take
the
air
towards
the
heath
,
(
the
Court
being
then
at
Greenwich
)
and
Master
Secretary
Cecil
then
attending
her
,
a
Post
came
crossing
by
,
and
blew
his
Horn
:
The
Queen
out
of
curiosity
asked
him
from
whence
the
Dispatch
came
;
and
being
answered
,
From
Scotland
;
she
stops
her
Coach
,
and
calleth
for
the
Packet
.
The
Secretary
,
though
he
knew
there
were
some
Letters
in
it
from
his
Correspondents
,
which
to
discover
,
were
as
so
many
Serpents
;
yet
made
more
shew
of
diligence
then
of
doubt
to
obey
;
and
asks
some
that
stood
by
(
forsooth
in
great
haste
)
for
a
Knife
to
cut
up
the
Packet
,
(
for
otherwise
he
might
perhaps
awaked
a
little
apprehension
)
but
in
the
mean
time
approaching
with
the
Packet
in
his
hand
,
at
a
pretty
distance
from
the
Queen
,
he
telleth
her
it
looked
and
smelt
ill-favouredly
coming
out
of
a
filthy
Budget
,
and
that
it
should
be
fit
first
to
open
and
air
it
,
because
he
knew
she
was
averse
from
ill
Scents
.
And
so
being
dismissed
home
,
he
got
leisure
by
this
seasonable
shift
,
to
sever
what
he
would
not
have
seen
.
These
two
accidents
precisely
true
,
and
known
to
few
,
I
have
reported
as
not
altogether
extravagant
from
my
purpose
,
to
shew
how
the
Earl
stood
in
certain
perplexities
,
wherewith
the
Dukes
days
were
not
distracted
.
And
this
hath
been
the
Historical
part
(
as
it
were
)
touching
the
difference
between
them
in
the
rising
and
flowing
of
their
fortunes
.
I
will
now
consider
their
several
Endowments
both
of
Person
and
Minde
,
and
then
a
little
of
their
Actions
and
Ends.
The
Earl
was
a
pretty
deal
the
taller
,
and
much
the
stronger
,
and
of
the
abler
body
:
but
the
Duke
had
the
neater
limbs
,
and
free
delivery
;
he
was
also
the
uprighter
,
and
of
the
more
comely
motions
:
for
the
Earl
did
bend
a
little
in
the
neck
,
though
rather
forwards
then
downwards
:
and
he
was
so
far
from
being
a
good
Dancer
,
that
he
was
no
graceful
Goer
.
If
we
touch
particulars
,
the
Duke
exceeded
in
the
daintiness
of
his
leg
and
foot
,
and
the
Earl
in
the
incomparable
fairness
and
fine
shape
of
his
hands
;
which
(
though
it
be
but
feminine
praise
)
he
took
from
his
Father
:
for
the
general
Air
,
the
Earl
had
the
closer
and
more
reserved
Countenance
,
being
by
nature
somewhat
more
cogitative
,
and
(
which
was
strange
)
never
more
then
at
Meals
,
when
others
are
least
:
Insomuch
,
as
he
was
wont
to
make
his
observation
of
himself
,
that
to
solve
any
knotty
business
which
cumbred
his
mind
,
his
ablest
hours
were
when
he
had
checked
his
first
appetite
with
two
or
three
morsels
,
after
which
he
sate
usually
for
a
good
while
silent
:
yet
he
would
play
well
and
willingly
at
some
games
of
greatest
attention
;
which
shewed
,
that
when
he
listed
he
could
licence
his
thoughts
.
The
Duke
on
the
other
side
,
even
in
the
midst
of
so
many
diversions
,
had
continually
a
very
pleasant
and
vacant
face
,
(
as
I
may
well
call
it
)
proceeding
no
doubt
from
a
singular
assurance
in
his
temper
.
And
yet
I
must
here
give
him
a
rarer
Elogie
,
which
the
malignest
eye
cannot
deny
him
,
That
certainly
never
man
in
his
place
and
power
,
did
entertain
greatness
more
familiarly
,
nor
whose
looks
were
less
tainted
with
his
felicity
;
wherein
I
insist
the
rather
,
because
this
in
my
judgement
was
one
of
his
greatest
Vertues
and
Victories
of
himself
.
But
to
proceed
:
in
the
attiring
and
ornament
of
their
bodies
,
the
Duke
had
a
fine
and
unaffected
politeness
,
and
upon
occasion
costly
,
as
in
his
Legations
.
The
Earl
as
he
grew
more
and
more
attentive
to
business
and
matter
,
so
less
and
less
curious
of
cloathing
:
insomuch
,
as
I
do
remember
,
those
about
him
had
a
conceit
that
possibly
sometimes
when
he
went
up
to
the
Queen
,
he
might
scant
know
what
he
had
on
:
for
this
was
his
manner
:
His
Chamber
being
commonly
stived
with
Friends
or
Suiters
of
one
kinde
or
other
,
when
he
gave
his
legs
,
arms
,
and
breast
to
his
ordinary
servants
to
button
and
dress
him
with
little
heed
,
his
head
and
face
to
his
Barbour
,
his
eyes
to
his
letters
,
and
ears
to
Petitioners
,
and
many
times
all
at
once
,
then
the
Gentleman
of
his
Robes
throwing
a
cloak
over
his
shoulders
,
he
would
make
a
step
into
his
Closet
,
and
after
a
short
prayer
,
he
was
gone
:
only
in
his
Baths
,
he
was
somewhat
delicate
.
For
point
of
diet
and
luxury
,
they
were
both
inordinate
in
their
appetites
,
especially
the
Earl
,
who
was
by
nature
of
so
different
a
taste
,
that
I
must
tell
a
rare
thing
of
him
(
though
it
be
but
a
homely
note
)
that
he
would
stop
in
the
midst
of
any
physical
Potion
,
and
after
he
had
licked
his
lips
,
he
would
drink
off
the
rest
;
but
I
am
wearie
of
such
slight
Animadversions
.
To
come
therefore
to
the
inward
furniture
of
their
minds
,
I
will
thus
much
declare
.
The
Earl
was
of
good
Erudition
,
having
been
placed
at
study
in
Cambridge
very
young
by
the
Lord
Burleigh
his
Guardian
,
with
affectionate
and
deliberate
care
,
under
the
oversight
of
Doctor
Whitgift
,
then
Master
of
Trinity
Colledge
,
and
after
Archbishop
of
Canterbury
:
A
man
(
by
the
way
)
surely
of
a
most
reverend
and
sacred
memory
,
and
(
as
I
may
well
say
)
even
of
the
Primitive
temper
,
when
the
Church
in
lowliness
of
temper
did
flourish
in
high
examples
,
which
I
have
inserted
as
a
due
recordation
of
his
vertues
,
having
been
much
obliged
to
him
for
many
favours
in
my
younger
time
.
About
sixteen
years
of
his
age
(
for
thither
he
came
at
twelve
)
he
took
the
formality
of
Master
of
Arts
,
and
kept
his
publick
Acts.
And
here
I
must
not
smother
what
I
have
received
by
constant
Information
,
that
his
own
Father
dyed
with
a
very
cold
conceit
of
him
,
some
say
through
the
affection
to
his
second
son
Walter
Devereux
,
who
was
indeed
a
diamond
of
the
time
,
and
both
of
an
hardy
and
delicate
temper
and
mixture
,
:
But
it
seemes
,
this
Earl
,
like
certain
vegetables
,
did
bud
and
open
slowly
;
Nature
sometimes
delighting
to
play
an
after-game
as
well
as
Fortune
,
which
had
both
their
turnes
and
tides
in
course
.
The
Duke
was
Illiterate
,
yet
had
learned
at
Court
,
first
to
sift
and
question
well
,
and
to
supply
his
own
defects
by
the
drawing
or
flowing
unto
him
of
the
best
Instruments
of
experience
and
knowledge
,
from
whom
he
had
a
sweet
and
attractive
manner
,
to
suck
what
might
be
for
the
publike
or
his
own
proper
use
;
so
as
the
less
he
was
favoured
by
the
Muses
,
he
was
the
more
by
the
Graces
.
To
consider
them
in
their
pure
Naturals
,
I
conceive
the
Earls
Intellectuall
faculties
to
have
been
his
stronger
part
,
and
in
the
Duke
his
Practical
.
Yet
all
know
,
that
he
likewise
at
the
first
was
much
under
the
expectation
of
his
after-proof
;
such
a
sudden
influence
therein
had
the
Soveraign
aspect
.
For
their
Abilities
of
discourse
or
pen
,
the
Earl
was
a
very
acute
and
sound
speaker
when
he
would
intend
it
;
and
for
his
Writings
,
they
are
beyond
example
,
especially
in
his
familiar
Letters
and
things
of
delight
at
Court
,
when
he
would
admit
his
serious
habits
,
as
may
be
yet
seen
in
his
Impresses
and
inventions
of
entertainment
;
and
above
all
,
in
his
darling
piece
of
love
,
and
self-love
;
his
Stile
was
an
elegant
perspicuity
,
rich
of
phrase
,
but
seldome
any
bold
Metaphors
,
and
so
far
from
Tumor
,
that
it
rather
wanted
a
little
Elevation
.
The
Dukes
delivery
of
his
mind
I
conceive
not
to
be
so
sharpe
as
solid
and
grave
,
not
so
solid
and
deep
as
pertinent
,
and
apposite
to
the
times
and
occasions
.
The
Earl
I
account
the
more
liberal
,
and
the
Duke
the
more
magnificent
;
for
I
do
not
remember
that
my
Lord
of
Essex
in
all
his
life-time
did
build
or
adorne
any
house
,
the
Queene
perchance
spending
his
time
,
and
himself
his
meanes
,
or
otherwise
inclining
to
popular
ways
;
for
we
know
the
people
are
apter
to
applaud
hous-keepers
,
then
hous-raisers
.
They
were
both
great
cherishers
of
Scholars
and
Divines
;
but
it
seems
,
the
Earl
had
obtained
of
himself
one
singular
point
,
that
he
could
depart
his
affection
between
two
extremes
:
for
though
he
bare
always
a
kinde
of
filial
reverence
towards
Dr
Whitgift
,
both
before
and
after
he
was
Archbishop
;
yet
on
the
other
side
,
he
did
not
a
little
love
and
tender
Master
Cartwright
,
though
I
think
truly
,
with
large
distinction
between
the
persons
and
the
Causes
,
howsoever
he
was
taxed
with
other
ends
in
respecting
that
party
.
They
were
both
fair-spoken
Gentlemem
,
not
prone
and
eager
to
detract
openly
from
any
man
;
in
this
the
Earl
hath
been
most
falsly
blemished
in
our
vulgar
Story
:
only
against
one
man
he
had
forsworn
all
patience
,
namely
Henry
Lord
Cobham
,
and
would
call
him
(
per
Excellentiam
)
the
Sycophant
(
as
if
it
had
been
an
Emblem
of
his
name
)
even
to
the
Queen
her self
,
though
of
no
small
insinuation
with
her
;
and
one
Lady
likewise
(
that
I
may
civilly
spare
to
no
●inate
,
for
her
sex
sake
)
whom
he
used
to
terme
the
Spyder
of
the
Court
:
yet
generally
in
the
sensitive
part
of
their
Natures
the
Earl
was
the
worse
Philosopher
,
being
a
great
Resenter
and
a
weak
Dissembler
of
the
least
disgrace
:
And
herein
likewise
,
as
in
the
rest
,
no
Good
Pupill
to
my
Lord
of
Leicester
,
who
was
wont
to
put
all
his
passions
in
his
pocket
.
In
the
growth
of
their
Fortunes
,
the
Duke
was
a
little
the
swifter
,
and
much
the
greater
;
for
from
a
younger
brothers
meane
estate
,
he
rose
to
the
highest
degree
whereof
a
Subject
was
capable
either
in
Title
or
Trust
.
Therein
I
must
confesse
much
more
consortable
to
Charles
Brandon
under
Henry
the
Eight
,
who
was
equall
to
him
in
both
.
For
matter
of
Donative
and
addition
of
substance
,
I
do
not
believe
that
the
Duke
did
much
exceed
him
,
all
considered
,
under
both
Kings
.
For
that
which
the
Earl
of
Essex
had
received
from
her
Majesty
,
besides
the
Fees
of
his
Offices
,
and
the
disposition
of
great
Summes
of
money
in
her
Armies
,
was
(
about
the
time
of
his
Arraignment
,
when
faults
use
to
be
aggravated
with
precedent
benefits
)
valued
at
three
hundred
thousand
pounds
sterling
in
pure
gift
for
his
onely
use
,
to
the
Earl
of
Dorset
then
Lord
Treasurer
;
who
was
a
wise
man
,
and
a
strict
Computist
,
and
not
ill
affected
towards
him
.
And
yet
it
is
worthy
of
note
in
the
Margent
of
both
Times
,
that
the
one
was
prosecuted
with
silence
,
and
the
other
with
murmur
;
so
undoing
a
measure
is
popular
judgment
.
I
cannot
here
omit
between
them
a
great
difference
in
establishing
of
both
their
Fortunes
and
Fames
.
For
the
first
,
the
Duke
had
a
care
to
introduce
into
neer
place
at
the
Court
divers
of
his
confident
Servants
,
and
into
high
places
very
sound
and
grave
Personages
.
Whereas
,
except
a
Pensioner
or
two
,
we
can
scant
name
any
one
man
advanced
of
the
Earls
breeding
,
but
Sir
Thomas
Smith
,
having
been
his
Secretary
,
who
yet
came
never
further
(
though
married
into
a
noble
House
)
then
to
the
Clerk
of
the
Councell
,
and
Register
of
the
Parliament
:
not
that
the
Earl
meant
to
stand
alone
like
a
Substantive
(
for
he
was
not
so
ill
a
Grammarian
in
Court
;
)
but
the
Truth
is
,
in
this
point
the
Cecilians
kept
him
back
,
as
very
well
knowing
that
upon
every
little
absence
or
disassiduity
,
he
should
be
subject
to
take
cold
at
his
back
.
For
the
Other
,
in
managing
of
their
Fames
,
I
note
between
them
a
direct
contrary
wisdome
;
For
the
Earl
proceeded
by
way
of
Apology
,
which
he
wrote
and
dispersed
with
his
own
hands
at
large
,
though
till
his
going
to
Ireland
they
were
but
aiery
objections
.
But
of
the
Duke
this
I
know
,
that
one
having
offered
for
his
ease
to
do
him
that
kinde
of
Service
;
He
refused
it
with
a
pretty
kinde
of
thankfull
scorn
,
saying
,
that
he
would
trust
his
own
good
intentions
which
God
knew
,
and
leave
to
him
the
pardoning
of
his
Errours
;
and
that
he
saw
no
fruit
of
Apologies
,
but
the
multiplying
of
discourse
:
which
surely
was
a
well-setled
Maxime
.
And
for
my
own
particular
(
though
I
am
not
obnoxious
to
his
memory
)
in
the
expression
of
Tacitus
,
Neque
injuria
,
neque
beneficia
,
saving
that
he
shewed
me
an
ordinary
good
Countenance
:
And
if
I
were
,
yet
I
would
distinguish
between
Gratitude
and
Truth
.
I
must
bear
him
this
Testimony
,
that
in
a
Commission
laid
upon
me
by
Soveraign
Command
to
examine
a
Lady
about
a
certain
filthy
accusation
grounded
upon
nothing
but
a
few
single
names
taken
up
by
a
Footman
in
a
kennel
,
and
straight
baptized
,
A
list
of
such
as
the
Duke
had
appointed
to
be
poysoned
at
home
,
himself
being
then
in
Spain
:
I
found
it
to
be
the
most
malicious
and
frantick
surmise
,
and
the
most
contrary
to
his
nature
that
I
think
had
ever
been
brewed
from
the
beginning
of
the
World
,
howsoever
countenanced
by
a
Libellous
Pamphlet
of
a
fugitive
Physician
even
in
Print
;
and
yet
of
this
would
not
the
Duke
suffer
any
answer
to
be
made
on
his
behalf
,
so
constant
he
was
to
his
own
principles
.
In
their
Military
Services
the
Characters
of
the
Earls
imployments
were
these
,
viz.
His
forwardest
was
that
of
Portugal
,
before
mentioned
.
The
saddest
,
that
of
Roan
,
where
he
lost
his
brave
Brother
.
His
fortunatest
peece
I
esteem
the
taking
of
Cadiz
Malez
,
and
no
less
modest
;
for
there
he
wrote
with
his
own
hands
a
censure
of
his
Omissions
.
His
jealousest
imployment
was
to
the
relief
of
Calais
besieged
by
the
Cardinall
Arch-duke
:
about
which
,
there
passed
then
between
the
Queen
and
the
French
King
much
Art
.
His
Voiage
to
the
Azores
was
the
best
,
for
the
discovery
of
the
Spanish
weakness
,
and
otherwise
almost
a
saving
Voiage
.
His
blackest
was
that
to
Ireland
,
ordained
to
be
the
Sepulchre
of
his
Father
,
and
the
Gulph
of
his
own
Fortunes
.
But
the
first
in
88
,
at
Tilbury-camp
,
was
in
my
judgement
the
very
poyson
of
all
that
followed
;
for
there
whilest
the
Queen
stood
in
some
doubt
of
a
Spanish
Invasion
(
though
it
proved
but
a
Morrice-dance
upon
our
Waves
)
she
made
him
in
Field
Commander
of
the
Cavalry
(
as
he
was
before
in
Court
)
and
much
graced
him
openly
in
view
of
the
Souldiers
and
people
,
even
above
my
Lord
of
Leicester
:
the
truth
is
,
from
thenceforth
he
fed
too
fast
.
The
Dukes
employment
abroad
in
this
nature
,
was
onely
in
the
Action
of
the
Isle
of
Reez
,
of
which
I
must
note
somewhat
for
the
honour
of
our
Country
,
and
of
his
Majesties
times
,
and
of
them
that
perished
and
survived
,
and
to
redeem
it
generally
from
mis-understanding
.
Therefore
after
enquiry
amongst
the
wisest
and
most
indifferent
men
;
of
that
Action
I
dare
pronounce
,
that
all
Circumstances
pondered
,
A
tumultuary
banding
on
our
part
,
with
one
thousand
in
the
whole
on
theirs
ready
to
receive
us
with
two
hundred
horse
,
with
neer
two
thousand
foot
,
and
watching
their
best
time
of
advantage
none
of
their
foot
discovered
by
us
before
,
nor
so
much
as
suspected
,
and
onely
some
of
their
Horse
descried
stragling
,
but
not
in
any
bulk
or
body
:
their
Cavalry
not
a
Troop
of
Bascoigners
mounted
in
haste
,
but
the
Greater
part
Gentlemen
of
Family
,
and
of
pickt
Resolution
,
and
such
as
charged
home
both
in
Front
and
on
both
Flanks
into
the
very
Sea
;
about
sixscore
of
their
two
hundred
horse
strewed
upon
the
Sand
,
and
none
of
them
but
one
killed
with
a
great
shot
;
and
after
this
their
foot
likewise
coming
on
to
charge
,
till
not
liking
the
business
they
fell
to
flinging
of
stones
,
and
so
walked
away
:
I
say
,
these
things
considered
and
laid
together
,
we
have
great
reason
to
repute
it
a
great
impression
upon
an
unknowne
place
,
and
a
noble
argument
that
upon
occasion
we
have
not
lost
our
ancient
vigour
.
Only
I
could
wish
that
the
Duke
,
who
then
in
the
animating
of
the
souldiers
shewed
them
very
eminent
assurance
of
his
valour
,
had
afterwards
remembred
that
rule
of
Apelles
,
Manum
de
Tabula
.
But
he
was
greedy
of
honour
,
and
hot
upon
the
publique
ends
,
and
too
confident
in
the
prosperity
of
beginnings
,
as
somewhere
Polybius
,
that
great
Critique
of
war
,
observeth
of
young
Leaders
whom
fortune
hath
not
before
deceived
.
In
this
their
military
care
and
dispensation
of
reward
and
punishment
there
was
very
few
remarkable
occasions
under
the
Duke
,
saving
his
continuall
vigilancie
and
voluntary
hazard
of
his
person
,
and
kindnesses
to
the
Souldiers
,
both
from
his
own
table
and
purse
;
for
there
could
be
few
disorders
within
an
Iland
where
the
troops
had
no
scope
to
disband
,
and
the
Inferior
Commanders
were
still
in
sight
.
In
the
Earl
we
have
two
examples
of
his
severity
,
the
one
in
the
Island
Voyage
,
where
he
threw
a
Souldier
with
his
own
hands
out
of
a
Ship
;
the
other
in
Ireland
,
where
he
decimated
certain
troops
that
ran
away
,
renewing
a
peece
of
the
Roman
Discipline
.
On
the
other
side
,
we
have
many
of
his
Lenitie
,
and
one
of
his
Facility
,
when
he
did
connive
at
the
bold
trespass
of
Sir
Walter
Raleigh
,
who
before
his
arrival
at
Fyall
,
had
banded
there
against
his
precise
Commandment
;
at
which
time
he
let
fall
a
Noble
word
,
being
pressed
by
one
,
(
whose
name
I
need
not
remember
)
that
at
the
least
he
would
put
him
upon
a
Martial
Court
:
That
I
would
do
(
said
he
)
if
he
were
not
my
friend
.
And
now
I
am
drawing
towards
the
last
Act
,
which
was
written
in
the
Book
of
necessity
.
At
the
Earls
end
I
was
abroad
,
but
when
I
came
home
(
though
little
was
left
for
Writers
to
gleane
after
Judges
)
yet
,
I
spent
some
curiosity
to
search
what
it
might
be
that
could
precipitate
him
into
such
a
prodigious
Catastrophe
;
and
I
must
,
according
to
my
professed
freedome
,
deliver
a
circumstance
or
two
of
some
weight
in
the
truth
of
that
story
,
which
was
neither
discovered
at
his
arraignment
,
nor
after
in
any
of
his
private
confessions
.
There
was
amongst
his
nearest
attendants
one
Henry
Cuffe
,
a
man
of
secret
ambitious
ends
of
his
own
,
and
of
proportionate
Counsels
smothered
under
the
habit
of
a
Scholar
,
and
slubbered
over
with
2
certain
rude
and
clownish
fashion
,
that
had
the
semblance
of
iutegrity
.
This
Person
not
above
five
or
six
weeks
before
my
Lords
fatall
irruption
into
the
City
,
was
by
the
Earls
special
Command
suddainly
discharged
from
all
further
attendance
,
or
accesse
unto
him
,
out
of
an
inward
displeasure
then
taken
against
his
sharp
and
importune
infusions
,
and
out
of
a
glimmering
oversight
,
that
he
would
prove
the
very
instrument
of
his
Ruine
.
I
must
adde
hereunto
,
that
about
the
same
time
my
Lord
had
received
from
the
Countesse
of
Warwick
(
a
Lady
powerfull
in
the
Court
,
and
indeed
a
vertuous
user
of
her
power
)
the
best
advice
that
I
think
was
ever
given
from
either
sex
;
That
when
he
was
free
from
restraint
,
he
should
closely
take
any
out-lodging
at
Greenwich
,
and
sometimes
when
the
Queene
went
abroad
in
a
good
humour
,
(
whereof
she
would
give
him
notice
)
he
should
come
forth
,
and
humble
himself
before
her
in
the
field
.
This
Counsell
sunk
much
into
him
,
and
for
some
days
he
resolved
it
:
but
in
the
meane
time
,
through
the
intercession
of
the
Earl
of
Southampton
,
whom
Cuffe
had
gained
,
he
was
restored
to
my
Lords
ear
,
and
so
working
advantage
upon
his
disgraces
,
and
upon
the
vaine
foundation
of
Vulgar
breath
,
which
hurts
many
good
men
,
spun
out
the
final
destruction
of
his
Master
and
himself
,
and
almost
of
his
restorer
,
if
his
pardon
had
not
been
won
by
inches
.
True
it
is
,
that
the
Earl
in
West
minster-ball
did
in
generall
disclose
the
evill
perswasions
of
this
man
;
but
the
particulars
which
I
have
related
by
this
dismission
and
restitution
,
he
buried
in
his
owne
brest
for
some
reasons
apparent
enough
;
Indeed
(
as
I
conjecture
)
not
to
exasperate
the
Case
of
my
Lord
of
Southampton
,
though
he
might
therewith
a
little
peradventure
have
mollified
his
own
.
The
whole
and
true
Report
I
had
by
infallible
meanes
from
the
person
himself
that
both
brought
the
advice
from
the
aforesaid
excellent
Lady
,
and
carried
the
discharge
to
Cuffe
,
who
in
a
private
Chamber
was
strucken
therewith
into
a
Sound
almost
dead
to
the
Earth
,
as
if
he
had
fallen
from
some
high
steeple
;
such
Terrets
of
hope
he
had
built
in
his
own
fancy
.
Touching
the
Dukes
suddain
period
,
how
others
have
represented
it
unto
their
Fancies
,
I
cannot
determine
:
for
my
part
,
I
must
confesse
from
my
Soul
that
I
never
recall
it
to
minde
without
a
deep
and
double
astonishment
of
my
discourse
and
reason
.
First
,
of
the
very
horrour
and
atrocity
of
the
Fact
in
a
Christian
Court
,
under
so
moderate
a
Government
;
but
much
more
at
the
impudencie
of
the
pretence
,
whereby
a
desperate
discontented
Assassinate
would
after
the
perpetration
have
honested
a
meere
private
revenge
(
as
by
precedent
Circumstances
is
evident
enough
)
with
I
know
not
what
publick
respects
,
and
would
fain
have
given
it
a
Parliamentary
cover
howsoever
.
Thus
these
two
great
Peers
were
dis-roabed
of
their
Glory
,
the
one
by
judgment
,
the
other
by
violence
,
which
was
the
small
distinction
.
Now
after
this
short
contemplation
of
their
diversities
,
(
for
much
more
might
have
been
spoken
,
but
that
I
was
fitter
for
Rhapsody
then
commentary
)
I
am
lastly
desirous
to
take
a
Summary
view
of
their
Conformities
,
which
I
verily
believe
will
be
found
as
many
,
though
perchance
heeded
by
few
,
as
are
extant
in
any
of
the
ancient
Parallel
.
They
both
slept
long
in
the
arms
of
Fortune
:
They
were
both
of
ancient
blood
,
and
of
Forraign
extraction
:
They
were
both
of
strait
and
goodly
stature
,
and
of
able
and
active
bodies
:
They
were
both
industrious
&
assiduous
,
and
attentive
to
their
ends
:
They
were
both
early
Privie
Counsellours
,
and
employed
at
home
in
the
secretest
and
weightiest
affairs
in
Court
and
State
:
They
were
both
likewise
Commanders
abroad
in
Chief
,
as
well
by
Sen
as
by
Land
:
both
Masters
of
the
Horse
at
home
,
both
chosen
Chancellours
of
the
same
University
,
namely
,
Cambridge
:
They
were
both
indubitable
strong
,
and
high-minded
men
;
yet
of
sweet
and
accostable
nature
,
almost
equally
delighting
in
the
press
and
affluence
of
Dependants
and
Suiters
,
which
are
always
the
Burres
,
and
sometimes
the
Briers
of
Favourites
.
They
were
both
married
to
very
vertuous
Ladies
,
and
sole
Heirs
,
and
left
issue
of
either
Sex
;
and
both
their
Wives
converted
to
contrary
Religions
.
They
were
both
in
themselves
rare
and
excellent
examples
of
Temperance
and
Sobriety
,
but
neither
of
them
of
Continency
.
Lastly
,
after
they
had
been
both
subject
(
as
all
Greatnes
,
and
Splendor
is
)
to
certain
obloquies
〈◊〉
their
actions
;
They
both
concluded
their
earthly
felicity
in
unnaturall
ends
,
and
with
no
great
distance
of
time
in
the
space
either
of
Life
or
Favour
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Jeffery
Fenton
.
SIr
Jeffery
Fenton
,
born
in
Nottinghamshire
,
was
for
twenty
seven
years
Privy-Counsellour
in
Ireland
to
Queen
Elizabeth
and
King
James
.
He
translated
the
History
of
Francis
Guicciardine
out
of
Italian
into
English
,
and
dedicated
it
to
Queen
Elizabeth
.
He
deceased
at
Dublin

October
19.
1608

St.
Patricks
Church

under
the

Tomb
with
his
Father-in-Law
Doctor
Robert
Weston

sometimes
Chancellour

It
is
an
happy
age
when
great

an

the

of
all

when
the

act

write
,
being
Histories

composing
them
too

He
was
bred

in
Kings
Colledge

for
Queen
Elizabeth
,
and
her
Embassador
into
Russia
,
Secretary
to
the
City
of
London
,
and
Master
of
the
Court
of
Requests
.
His
Russian
Embassie
to
settle
the
English
Merchandize
was
his
Master-piece
,
to
Theodor
Juanowich
,
Duke
of
Muscovia
.
He
came
thither
in
a
dangerous
juncture
of
time
,
viz.
in
the
end
of
the
year
1588.
First
,
some
Forreiners
(
I
will
not
say
they
were
the
Hollanders
)
envying
the
free
Trade
of
the
English
,
had
done
them
bad
offices
.
Secondly
,
a
false
report
was
generally
believed
that
the
Spanish
Armado
had
worsted
the
English
Fleet
,
and
the
Duke
of
Muscovy
,
who
measured
his
favour
unto
the
English
,
by
the
possibility
he
apprehended
of
their
returning
it
)
grew
very
sparing
of
his
smiles
,
not
to
say
free
of
his
frowns
on
our
Merchants
residing
there
.
However
,
our
Doctor
demeaned
himself
in
his
Embassie
with
such
cauriousnesse
,
that
he
not
onely
escaped
the
Dukes
fury
,
but
also
procured
many
priviledges
for
our
English
Merchants
,
exemplified

Mr.
Hackluit
.
Returning
home
,
and
being
safely
arrived
at
London
,
he
sent
for
his
intimate
friend
Mr.
Wayland
,
Prebendary
of
St.
Pauls
,
and
Senior
fellow
of
Trinity
Colledge
in
Cambridge
(
Tutor
to
my
Father
,
from
whose
mouth
I
received
this
report
)
with
whom
he
heartily
express'd
his
thankfulnesse
to
God
for
his
safe
return
from
so
great
a
danger
;
for
the
Poets
cannot
fancy
Vlysses
more
glad
to
be
come
out
of
the
Den
Polyphemus
,
than
he
was
to
be
rid
out
of
the
power
of
such
a
barbarous
Prince
,
who
counting
himself
by
a
proud
and
voluntary
mistake
Emperour
of
all
Nations
,
cared
not
for
the
Law
of
all
Nations
;
and
who
was
so
habited
in
blood
,
that
had
he
cut
off
this
Embassador's
head
,
he
and
his
friends
might
have
sought
their
own
amends
;
but
the
question
is
,
where
he
would
have
found
it
?
He
afterwards
set
forth
a
Book
called
The
Russian
Common-wealth
,
expressing
the
Government
,
or
Tyranny
rather
thereof
;
wherein
(

are
many
things
most
observable
:
but
Queen
Eliz.
indulging
the
reputation
of
the
Duke
of
Muscovy
as
a
confederate
Prince
,
permitted
not
the
publick
printing
of
that
;
which
such
who
have
private
Copies
,
know
to
set
the
valuation
thereon

Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Lord
Mountjoy
.
THe
Lord
Mountjoy
was
of
the
ancient
Nobility
;
as
he
came
from
Oxford
,
he
took
the
Inner-Temple
in
his
way
to
Court
,
whither
no
sooner
come
,
but
(
without
asking
)
had
a
pretty
strange
kinde
of
admission
.
He
was
then
much
about
twenty
years
of
age
,
of
a
brown
hair
,
a
sweet
face
,
a
most
neat
composure
,
and
tall
in
his
person
;
so
that
he
coming
to
see
the
fashion
of
the
Court
,
was
spied
out
by
the
Queen
,
and
out
of
the
affection
she
bare
to
the
very
sight
of
his
face
,
received
him
into
favour
;
upon
the
first
observation
whereof
,
she
professed
,
that
she
knew
there
was
in
him
some
noble
blood
.
He
was
one
that
wanted
not
wit
and
courage
,
for
he
had
very
fine
attractions
;
and
being
a
good
Scholar
,
yet
were
they
accompanied
with
the
retractives
of
bashfulnesse
,
and
a
natural
modesty
.
There
was
in
him
an
inclination
to
Arms
,
with
an
humour
of
Travelling
:
and
as
he
was
grown
by
reading
(
whereunto
he
was
much
addicted
)
to
the
Theory
of
a
Soldier
,
so
was
he
strongly
invited
by
his
Genius
to
the
Acquaintance
of
the
Practick
of
the
War
,
which
were
the
causes
of
his
excursions
;
for
he
had
a
Company
in
the
Low-Countreys
,
from
whence
he
came
over
with
a
noble
acceptance
of
the
Queen
,
but
somewhat
restlesse
:
in
honourable
thoughts
he
exposed
himself
again
and
again
,
and
would
presse
the
Queen
with
the
pretences
of
visiting
his
Company
so
often
,
that
at
length
he
had
a
flat
denyal
,
and
yet
he
stole
over
with
Sir
John
Norris
,
into
the
action
of
Britain
;
but
at
last
the
Queen
began
to
take
his
Decessions
for
contempts
,
and
confined
his
residence
to
the
Court
,
and
her
own
presence
.
She
was
so
confident
in
her
own
Princely
judgement
and
opinion
that
she
had
conceived
of
his
worth
and
conduct
,
that
she
would
have
this
noble
Gentleman
,
and
none
other
,
to
finish
,
and
bring
the
Irish
War
to
a
propitious
end
;
which
(
not
deceiving
her
good
conceit
of
him
)
he
nobly
atchieved
,
though
with
much
pains
and
carefulnesse
.
Among
the
greatest
things
laid
to
Queen
Elizabeth
her
charge
(
saith
the
Censurer
)
as
cast
behind
the
door
of
neglect
,
was
the
conduct
of
the
Affairs
of
Ireland
;
a
place
lying
all
her
Halcyon
dayes
under
so
great
a
contempt
,
that
wise
Walsingham
thought
it
no
Treason
to
wish
it
buried
in
the
Sea
,
considering
the
charge
it
brought
:
yet
she
kept
the
Pale
in
good
order
,
not
suffering
the
Spanish
party
to
grow
more
potent
in
the
North
,
than
was
convenient
to
consume
his
forces
,
and
divert
him
from
neerer
and
more
dangerous
attempts
.
It
being
impossible
for
her
without
being
grievous
to
her
people
(
a
Rock
she
chiefly
studied
to
avoid
)
at
one
time
to
maintain
so
dreadful
a
Navy
at
Sea
,
and
soment
the
Dutch
and
French
,
to
whose
assistance
she
was
called
by
a
louder
necessity
,
than
to
render
a
Nation
quite
desolate
:
none
being
willing
during
her
life
to
exchange
the
present
government
of
a
natural
Princess
,
for
the
lesse
happy
tyranny
of
a
Vice-Roy
;
of
which
the
most
did
study
more
their
respective
Grandeur
by
extending
the
War
,
than
the
ease
of
the
Inhabitants
,
and
lessening
the
Queens
expence
,
till
the
noble
Lord
Mountjoy
was
employed
,
who
had
no
other
design
than
the
conclusion
of
the
Work
;
which
he
had
not
yet
brought
about
,
but
that
the
Spaniards
found
themselves
betrayed
through
the
covetousnesse
and
cowardize
of
the
Natives
,
that
for
small
sums
would
sell
not
onely
such
Forreigners
as
came
to
help
them
,
but
their
nearest
Relations
.
Nor
was
it
possible
to
reduce
them
to
civility
,
but
by
curing
the
Bogs
and
Fastnesses
,
and
building
Castles
and
Garisons
,
which
he
did
;
nor
easie
to
subdue
them
without
that
severity
to
the
Priests
,
which
he
used
;
whom
he
found
exercising
such
an
implicite
power
over
the
Peoples
consciences
,
that
they
could
not
resolve
themselves
of
their
Soveraigns
right
or
Religion
.
—
This
for
his
Irish
government
:
touching
his
Domestick
relation
;
When
Queen
Elizabeths
favour
to
Essex
(
like
a
bone
by
breaches
made
more
firm
)
swelled
him
to
such
a
degree
of
confidence
as
frowned
on
them
as
enemies
that
acknowledged
not
his
friendship
,
or
depended
not
on
his
favour
,
to
balance
him
and
my
Lord
Cecil
,
this
gallant
Gentleman
,
and
of
honourable
extraction
,
was
placed
in
her
eye
;
many
hoping
by
his
application
to
draw
from
her
heart
the
affection
they
thought
mortal
to
them
and
their
design
,
the
whole
result
concluding
in
a
Duel
that
raised
both
in
their
Mistriss
affections
,
as
Champions
for
her
beauty
now
,
and
like
to
be
so
for
her
Government
.
There
are
some
Letters
of
this
noble
person
's
to
be
seen
,
I
am
told
,
of
a
plain
and
equal
style
becoming
a
States-man
and
businesse
;
not
seldome
yet
admitting
of
several
constructions
,
if
of
any
interpretation
at
all
,
where
the
businesse
related
to
a
thing
whose
consequence
could
not
easily
be
seen
into
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Edward
Earl
of
Rutland
.
A
Noble-man
,
eminent
for
those
several
Endowments
,
which
single
,
do
exact
an
entire
man
.
For
a
person
of
his
quality
to
be
an
accurate
Critick
in
the
learned
Tongues
,
&
then
as
a
Rhetorician
to
make
all
their
Graces
serve
his
Eloquence
;
to
have
traversed
Ancient
,
and
yet
be
no
Stranger
in
Modern
Writers
:
to
be
well
versed
in
the
more
crabbed
Philosophy
,
and
accurate
in
Politer
classick
Authors
;
to
be
learned
in
History
and
Policy
,
and
a
Master
in
the
Law
of
the
Land
,
and
of
Nations
.
For
such
a
man
to
have
devoured
so
much
,
and
yet
digested
it
,
is
a
rarity
in
nature
,
and
in
diligence
,
which
hath
but
few
examples
:
yet
his
speculative
knowledge
that
gave
light
to
the
most
dark
and
difficult
proposals
,
became
eclipsed
by
the
more
dazling
lustre
of
his
more
practick
and
experimental
prudence
;
which
together
with
his
alliance
to
my
Lord
Burleigh
,
had
voted
him
to
Bromley's
place
,
but
that
they
both
sickned
in
one
day
,
and
died
in
one
week
;
he
leaving
these
four
Advisoes
behind
him
,
1.
Be
alwayes
employed
.
2.
Look
to
the
Issue
.
3.
Be
furnished
with
a
friend
.
And
4.
Reflect
upon
thy self

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
John
Smith
.
HIS
Relation
to
Edward
the
sixth
his
Cousin
German
,
was
enough
to
countenance
his
parts
,
and
his
parts
ripe
and
large
enough
to
advance
his
person
.
—
His
gravity
could
be
no
where
better
employed
than
in
Spain
,
nor
his
reservednesse
any
where
more
suitable
than
in
Italy
.
In
Spain
his
carriage
had
a
great
impression
upon
the
King
,
and
his
spirit
upon
the
whole
Court.
For
Gasper
Quiroga
Arch-Bishop
of
Toledo
,
inveighing
bitterly
against
the
Queen's
person
,
and
more
against
her
Title
(
Defender
of
the
Faith
)
was
answered
by
him
with
that
Wisdome
and
Prudence
,
that
his
Majesty
of
Spain
checked
the
Arch-Bishop
as
an
Impertinado
,
as
he
called
him
,
and
hugged
Sir
John
Smith
,
as
a
man
who
had
made
himself
dreadful
,
and
his
Mistriss
therefore
much
more
to
that
Court
—
(
They
who
least
consider
hazard
in
the
doing
of
their
duty
,
fare
best
still
.
)
The
surest
way
to
safety
,
is
to
have
one
interest
espoused
so
firmly
,
as
never
to
be
changed
.
Nor
did
he
this
out
of
a
vainer
bottome
than
an
observation
he
made
of
his
Mistrisses
resolution
,
already
in
despair
of
procuring
good
from
any
milder
endeavours
than
those
of
power
:
A
signal
testimony
of
the
commanding
worth
this
Gentleman
had
,
which
extorted
a
reverence
to
his
person
in
that
very
place
where
his
business
contracted
an
Odium
.
An
excellent
person
he
was
,
in
whom
honesty
of
manners
strived
with
Nobility
of
Birth
,
and
merit
with
honour
;
of
a
composed
and
stayed
temper
,
that
would
say
under
all
temptations
to
disquiet
,
Either
the
thing
before
us
is
in
our
power
,
or
it
is
not
:
If
it
be
,
why
do
we
not
manage
it
to
our
content
?
If
not
,
why
are
we
discontented
,
especially
since
every
thing
hath
two
handles
?
If
the
one
prove
hot
,
and
not
to
be
touched
,
we
may
take
the
other
that
is
more
temperate
.
Upon
which
consideration
,
all
private
concernments
he
passed
over
with
a
perfect
indifference
:
the
world
and
its
Appendages
hanging
so
loose
about
him
,
that
he
never
took
notice
when
any
part
dropt
off
,
or
sate
uneasily
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Walter
Rawleigh
.
SIr
Walter
Rawleigh
was
well
descended
,
and
of
good
Alliance
,
but
poor
in
his
beginning
.
He
was
one
so
tossed
by
fortune
to
and
fro
,
that
he
was
sometimes
high
,
sometimes
low
,
sometimes
in
a
middle
condition
.
He
was
brought
up
in
the
University
and
Innes
of
Court
,
but
he
stayed
not
long
in
a
place
:
and
being
the
youngest
Brother
,
and
the
House
diminished
in
Patrimony
,
he
foresaw
his
own
destiny
,
that
he
was
first
to
roul
(
through
want
and
disability
)
before
he
could
come
to
a
repose
.
He
first
exposed
himself
to
the
Land-service
of
Ireland
(
a
Militia
)
which
then
did
not
yield
him
food
and
raiment
;
nor
had
he
patience
to
stay
there
,
(
though
shortly
after
he
came
thither
again
)
under
the
command
of
the
Lord
Grey
.
As
for
his
Native
parts
,
and
those
of
his
own
acquiring
,
he
had
in
the
outward
man
a
good
presence
,
in
a
handsom
and
well-compacted
person
,
a
strong
natural
wit
,
and
a
better
judgement
,
with
a
bold
and
plausible
tongue
,
whereby
he
could
set
out
his
parts
to
the
best
advantage
;
and
to
these
he
had
the
adjuncts
of
some
general
learning
,
which
by
diligence
he
enforced
to
a
great
Augmentation
,
and
Perfection
;
for
he
was
an
indefatigable
Reader
,
whether
by
Sea
or
Land
,
and
none
of
the
least
observers
both
of
Men
and
the
Times
.
Falling
from
that
sudden
grace
,
which
he
by
his
parts
had
gained
of
the
Queen
,
he
went
aside
for
a
while
,
but
at
his
return
he
came
in
with
the
greater
strength
,
and
so
continued
to
her
last
,
great
in
her
favour
,
and
Captain
of
the
Guard
.
His
prudence
understood
his
capacity
,
and
his
industry
served
it
;
raising
his
fortune
as
high
as
his
parts
,
and
his
parts
as
high
as
his
mind
.
His
Motto
was
,
Either
dye
nobly
,
or
live
honorably
.
Never
man
prospered
,
but
the
resolute
,
and
he
that
hath
awaked
an
easie
,
soft
,
sleepy
,
or
indifferent
temper
,
to
the
noble
adventure
of
being
Caesar
,
or
being
none
:
a
disposition
meeting
a
large
and
capacious
soul
in
this
Gentleman
,
taught
him
the
exact
discipline
of
War
in
Ireland
and
the
Low
Countries
,
the
great
skill
of
a
Sea-man
between
Europe
and
America
,
and
a
patience
as
severe
in
enduring
hardship
,
as
his
necessity
in
requiring
it
.
Five
hours
he
slept
,
four
he
read
,
two
he
discoursed
;
allowing
the
rest
to
his
business
and
his
necessities
:
no
Soldier
fared
or
lay
harder
,
none
ventured
further
:
what
is
not
extraordinary
(
he
would
say
)
is
nothing
:
It
being
the
end
of
all
Arts
and
Sciences
to
direct
men
by
certain
rules
unto
the
most
compendious
way
in
their
knowledge
and
practice
:
those
things
of
which
in
our selves
we
have
onely
some
imperfect
confused
notions
,
being
herein
fully
and
clearly
represented
to
our
view
from
the
discoveries
that
other
men
have
made
,
after
much
study
and
long
experience
;
and
there
is
nothing
of
greater
consequence
for
the
advancement
of
Learning
,
than
to
finde
out
those
particular
advantages
which
there
are
for
the
shortest
way
of
knowing
and
teaching
things
in
every
profession
.
There
was
not
an
expert
Soldier
or
Sea-man
,
but
he
consulted
;
not
a
printed
or
manuscript
discourse
of
Navigation
or
War
but
he
perused
;
nor
were
there
exacter
rules
or
principles
for
both
services
,
than
he
drew
:
so
contemplative
he
was
,
that
you
would
think
he
was
not
active
;
so
active
that
you
would
say
he
was
not
prudent
—
A
great
Soldier
,
and
yet
an
excellent
Courtier
:
an
accomplished
Gallant
,
and
yet
a
bookish
man
;
a
man
that
seemed
born
for
any
thing
he
undertook
:
his
wit
brought
him
to
Court
,
and
kept
him
there
;
for
there
happening
a
difference
between
him
and
my
Lord
Grey
,
under
whom
he
served
in
Ireland
,
which
was
heard
before
the
Council-Table
,
Rawleigh
stated
his
case
with
that
clearnesse
,
urged
his
arguments
with
that
evidence
and
reason
,
offered
his
Apologies
with
those
pertinent
and
taking
allegations
,
and
his
Replies
with
that
smartnesse
;
expressed
himself
with
that
fluency
and
eloquence
,
and
managed
his
carriage
and
countenance
with
that
discretion
,
that
he
was
first
the
States-mens
observation
,
next
her
Majesties
Favourite
,
and
at
last
her
Oracle
;
as
who
was
equally
happy
in
his
comprehensive
discourses
to
her
of
her
private
interest
in
every
part
of
her
government
,
and
in
his
effectual
Speeches
to
her
Subjects
in
Parliament
touching
theirs
in
every
part
of
their
duty
.
Two
things
he
observed
in
his
Mistriss
;
-
1.
That
she
was
penurious
in
her
Largesses
.
-
2.
That
she
was
choice
in
her
Favourites
.
Whence
he
concluded
,
that
there
was
no
good
to
be
done
unlesse
he
got
an
estate
first
,
and
then
a
reputation
.
To
the
first
,
we
owe
his
Sea-voyages
,
when
his
whole
fortune
was
often
put
up
in
one
ship
;
And
to
the
last
,
his
Land-services
,
when
all
his
expectation
depended
on
one
action
.
Two
Rivals
he
observed
,
Essex
for
action
,
Cecil
for
counsel
:
The
one
he
went
under
abroad
,
to
outvy
him
;
the
other
he
complyed
with
at
home
,
to
undermine
him
:
but
wanting
strength
,
though
not
parts
to
be
both
their
Corrivals
,
he
perished
,
because
not
thought
to
own
humility
enough
to
be
their
servants
.
Cecill
indeed
was
his
friend
,
because
Essex
was
his
enemy
:
but
he
taught
him
,
That
it
was
more
safe
at
Court
to
have
many
enemies
of
equall
power
,
than
one
false
and
ambitious
friend
,
that
hath
attained
to
the
absolutenesse
of
command
:
But
this
he
was
often
heard
to
say
,
he
did
not
apprehend
,
before
his
Genius
had
dictated
it
to
him
,
as
he
came
in
a
Boat
from
the
execution
of
the
Earl
of
Essex
,
which
was
done
at
the
Tower
.
—
Yet
two
wayes
I
finde
him
getting
up
:
1.
By
uncouth
projects
in
Parliament
beyond
expectation
;
which
(
though
they
might
oblige
his
Mistriss
)
together
with
an
opinion
of
his
irreligion
,
lost
him
with
the
People
.
2.
By
extraordinary
undertakings
in
Warre
beyond
his
Commission
;
which
(
though
performed
to
out-do
his
Generals
)
had
forfeited
his
head
to
their
severity
and
justice
,
had
not
his
wit
complyed
with
their
eafinesse
and
goodnesse
.
It
's
a
question
among
the
Curiosoes
,
whether
his
often
absence
from
Court
was
his
prudence
,
or
his
weaknesse
,
it
being
a
quodlibet
,
whether
that
distance
was
a
greater
allay
to
his
enemies
malice
,
or
his
Soveraigns
love
;
while
his
forreign
actions
were
not
so
close
at
her
ear
to
his
advantage
,
as
his
Adversaries
applications
to
his
disparagement
.
Two
things
I
must
needs
say
are
wonderful
in
him
.
1.
The
dispatch
and
industry
of
the
former
part
of
his
life
.
2.
The
weaknesse
of
the
latter
.
Touching
the
first
,
he
that
shall
consider
his
laborious
way
of
study
,
immers'd
in
almost
infinite
reading
and
observation
,
to
which
the
running
over
of
innumerable
books
,
and
a
vast
multitude
of
men
was
necessary
:
His
Obligations
to
read
not
onely
common
Authors
,
but
all
Records
,
Schemes
,
and
Papers
that
he
could
come
by
:
His
correspondence
with
Friends
and
Strangers
;
his
review
of
his
own
Papers
(
which
he
fate
close
to
by
Sea
and
Land
)
that
never
passed
him
without
three
transcriptions
;
his
reception
of
visits
,
whether
of
civility
,
or
businesse
,
or
discourse
,
which
were
numerous
,
and
great
devourers
of
his
time
;
his
agency
for
all
sorts
of
persons
(
his
interest
with
his
thrifty
Mistriss
being
most
part
of
his
pension
)
in
which
capacity
he
set
up
a
kinde
of
Office
of
Address
—
his
Letters
,
which
cost
him
one
day
in
the
week
:
The
time
lost
upon
his
misfortunes
,
which
made
it
necessary
for
him
often
to
break
his
great
series
and
method
of
undertaking
.
He
,
I
say
,
that
shall
compute
,
and
sum
up
this
,
the
particulars
whereof
are
nakedly
told
without
any
straining
of
the
truth
,
or
flourish
of
expression
,
must
be
much
to
seek
how
a
man
of
so
many
actions
should
write
any
thing
,
and
one
of
so
many
writings
should
do
any
thing
;
and
more
,
how
one
of
so
many
fatall
diversions
could
keep
up
a
steady
minde
for
those
great
,
but
exact
arguments
that
it
hath
left
in
the
world
;
especially
when
there
was
one
very
difficult
particular
in
all
his
composures
,
viz.
that
none
of
his
Discourses
with
which
his
History
or
other
Books
are
embellished
,
passed
his
exact
hand
before
the
most
knowing
and
most
learned
men
in
that
faculty
to
which
those
discourses
belonged
,
had
debated
them
before
him
;
who
after
their
departure
summed
up
all
into
those
excellent
pieces
now
abroad
under
his
name
,
which
I
blame
not
King
James
for
envying
,
being
the
nearest
his
own
:
though
I
think
not
that
learned
Prince
of
so
low
a
spirit
,
as
out
of
an
impertinent
emulation
to
affect
Sir
Walter
Rawleigh
the
lesse
,
for
the
great
repute
that
followed
him
because
of
his
pen
;
which
being
more
dangerous
than
his
Sword
,
I
wonder
that
wise
Prince
indulged
him
,
especially
since
that
Master
Hampden
a
little
before
the
Wars
was
at
the
charge
of
〈…〉
3.
52
sheets
of
his
Manuscripts
,
as
the
〈…〉
himself
told
me
,
who
had
his
close
chamber
,
his
fine
and
candle
,
with
an
Attendant
to
deliver
him
the
Originals
,
and
take
his
Copies
as
fast
as
he
could
write
them
.
2
To
the
second
,
viz.
the
weaknesse
of
the
last
part
of
his
life
:
1.
There
was
not
a
greater
reach
in
that
advice
of
his
to
the
Queen
(
when
some
were
for
attacquing
Spain
one
way
,
and
some
another
)
to
cut
off
its
commerce
with
the
Indies
,
than
there
was
shortnesse
of
spirit
in
trusting
the
most
hopeful
part
of
that
expedition
to
Sir
John
Burroughs
,
when
he
sunke
under
the
most
disastrous
himself
.
Yet
2.
That
he
,
when
Captain
of
the
Guard
,
Warden
of
the
Cinque-ports
,
Governor
of
Virginia
(
a
place
of
his
own
discovery
)
preferments
enough
to
satisfie
a
regular
spirit
,
should
stand
on
termes
with
King
James
against
the
Law
of
the
Land
,
the
Genius
of
the
Nation
,
the
resolution
of
the
Nobility
,
and
Reason
it self
(
that
knoweth
there
is
no
cautions
that
hold
Princes
,
but
their
interest
and
nature
)
was
a
greater
infirmity
.
But
3.
That
he
upon
the
Kings
frown
for
his
former
indiscretion
upon
him
,
and
Cobham
,
should
engage
upon
so
shallow
a
Treason
(
so
improbable
to
hurt
others
,
or
benefit
themselves
,
that
if
ever
folly
was
capable
of
the
title
,
or
pity
due
to
innocence
,
theirs
might
claim
so
large
a
share
as
not
possible
to
be
too
severely
condemned
,
or
slightly
enough
punished
)
and
that
with
such
weak
and
inconsiderable
men
,
as
were
rather
against
the
government
,
than
for
one
another
(
Grey
being
a
Puritan
,
and
Cobham
a
Protestant
)
were
the
greatest
:
but
there
is
one
particular
more
behind
;
That
he
who
could
employ
his
restraint
so
well
,
should
lye
under
the
justice
as
well
as
jealousie
of
K.
James
:
And
knowing
that
Princes
must
not
pardon
any
able
man
that
either
they
have
wronged
,
or
that
hath
wronged
them
,
be
so
intent
upon
a
foolish
liberty
,
wherein
he
lost
himself
and
his
in
that
unhappy
voyage
of
Guiana
;
a
voyage
,
that
considering
King
James
his
inclination
to
the
Match
,
his
own
obnoxiousnesse
to
that
King
abroad
,
and
Cecil
here
for
obstructing
the
Peace
with
Spain
,
and
Gondamor's
vigilance
,
must
needs
be
as
unsuccessful
,
as
it
was
disgustful
.
Methinks
he
that
was
of
so
incomparable
a
dexterity
in
his
judgement
,
as
the
Treasurer
grew
jealous
of
his
excellent
parts
,
left
he
should
supplant
him
;
of
so
quick
and
ready
apprehension
and
conduct
,
that
he
puzzled
the
Judges
at
Winchester
:
of
so
good
a
Head-piece
,
that
it
was
wished
then
on
the
Secretary
of
State
's
shoulders
:
of
so
considerable
an
interest
,
that
notwithstanding
his
fourteen
years
imprisonment
,
Princes
interceded
for
him
,
the
whole
Nation
pitied
him
,
and
King
James
would
not
execute
him
without
an
Apology
;
And
to
say
no
more
,
of
so
much
magnanimity
,
that
he
managed
his
death
with
so
high
and
religious
a
resolution
,
as
if
a
Christian
had
acted
a
Romane
,
or
rather
a
Roman
a
Christian
;
might
have
gone
off
the
world
at
a
higher
rate
,
but
that
there
is
an
higher
power
governs
wisdome
,
as
invisibly
,
yet
as
really
as
wisdome
doth
the
world
;
which
when
I
look
back
upon
my
Lord
of
Essex
,
I
call
fate
;
but
when
from
him
I
look
forward
to
Sir
Walter
Rawleigh
,
I
believe
a
providence
.
He
had
a
good
presence
in
a
handsome
and
well-compacted
person
,
a
strong
natural
wit
,
a
better
judgement
,
with
a
bold
and
plausible
tongue
,
which
set
off
his
parts
to
the
best
advantage
:
to
these
he
had
the
adjuncts
of
a
general
Learning
;
which
by
diligence
and
experience
(
those
two
great
Tutors
)
was
augmented
to
a
great
perfection
,
being
an
indefatigable
Reader
,
and
having
a
very
retentive
memory
:
before
his
Judges
at
Winchester
humble
,
but
not
prostrate
;
dutiful
,
yet
not
dejected
:
to
the
Jury
affable
,
but
not
fawning
;
hoping
,
but
not
trusting
in
them
,
carefully
perswading
them
with
reason
,
not
distemperately
importuning
them
with
conjurations
;
rather
shewing
love
of
life
,
than
fear
of
death
:
patient
,
but
not
careless
;
civil
,
but
not
stupid
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Thomas
,
Sackvil
,
Lord
Buckhurst
.
HE
was
bred
in
the
University
of
Oxford
,
where
he
became
an
excellent
Poet
,
leaving
both
Latine
and
English
Poems
of
his
to
posterity
.
Then
studied
he
Law
in
the
Temple
,
and
took
the
degree
of
Barrister
;
afterwards
he
travelled
into
Foreign
parts
,
was
detained
for
a
time
a
Prisoner
in
Rome
,
which
he
revenged
afterwards
in
the
liberty
of
his
speech
at
the
Powder-Traytors
Tryal
.
Wen
his
liberty
was
procured
for
his
return
into
England
,
he
possessed
the
vast
inheritance
left
him
by
his
Father
,
whereof
in
short
time
by
his
magnificent
prodigality
he
spent
the
greatest
part
,
till
he
seasonably
began
to
spare
,
growing
neer
to
the
bottom
of
his
Estate
.
The
story
goes
,
that
this
young
Gentleman
coming
to
an
Alderman
of
London
,
who
had
gained
great
penny
worths
by
his
former
Purchases
of
him
,
was
made
(
being
now
in
the
wane
of
his
wealth
)
to
wait
the
coming
down
of
the
Alderman
so
long
,
that
his
generous
humour
being
sensible
of
the
incivility
of
such
Attendance
,
resolved
to
be
no
more
beholding
to
Wealthy
Pride
;
and
presently
turned
a
thrifty
improver
of
the
remainder
of
his
Estate
.
But
others
make
him
,
as
abovesaid
,
the
Convert
of
Queen
Elizabeth
,
(
his
Cousin-German
once
removed
)
who
by
her
frequent
Admonitions
,
diverted
the
torrent
of
his
profusion
.
Indeed
she
would
not
know
him
,
till
he
began
to
know
himself
,
and
then
heaped
places
of
Honour
and
Trust
upon
him
,
creating
him
-
1.
Baron
of
Buckhurst
in
Sussex
,
Anno
Dom.
1566.
-
2.
Sending
him
Ambassador
into
France
,
Anno
1571.
Into
the
Low-Countries
,
Anno
Dom.
1566.
-
3.
Making
him
Knight
of
the
Order
of
the
Garter
,
Anno
1589.
-
4.
Appointing
him
Treasurer
of
England
,
1599.
He
was
Chancellor
of
the
University
of
Oxford
,
where
he
entertained
Qu:
Elizabeth
with
a
most
sumptuous
Feast
.
He
was
called
the
Star-chamber-Bell
,
so
very
flowing
his
invention
;
and
therefore
no
wonder
if
his
Secretaries
could
not
please
him
,
being
a
person
of
so
quick
dispatch
,
(
faculties
which
yet
run
in
the
blood
.
)
He
took
a
Roll
of
the
names
of
all
Sutors
,
with
the
Date
of
their
first
Addresses
,
and
these
in
order
had
their
hearing
,
so
that
a
Fresh-man
could
not
leap
over
the
head
of
his
Senior
,
except
in
urgent
Affairs
of
State
.
Thus
having
made
amends
to
his
house
for
his
mispent
time
,
both
in
increase
of
Estate
and
Honour
,
being
created
Earl
of
Dorset
by
King
James
,
he
died
on
the
19th
of
April
,
1608.
The
Lord
Buckburst
was
of
the
noble
house
of
the
Sackvils
,
and
of
the
Queens
consanguinity
;
his
Father
was
that
provident
&
wise
man
Sir
Richard
Sackvil
,
or
as
the
people
then
called
him
,
Fill-sack
,
by
reason
of
his
great
wealth
,
and
the
vast
Patrimony
which
he
left
to
this
his
son
,
whereof
he
spent
in
his
youth
the
best
part
,
until
the
Qu:
by
her
frequent
admonitions
diverted
the
torrent
of
his
profusion
;
he
was
a
very
fine
Gentleman
of
person
and
endowments
both
of
Art
and
Nature
.
His
elocution
is
much
commended
,
but
the
excellency
of
his
Pen
more
;
for
he
was
a
Scholar
,
and
a
person
of
quick
faculties
,
very
facete
and
choice
in
his
phrase
and
style
.
He
was
wise
and
stout
,
nor
was
he
any
ways
insnared
in
the
factions
of
the
Court
,
which
were
all
his
time
very
strong
.
He
stood
still
in
grace
,
and
was
wholly
intentive
to
the
Queens
service
;
and
such
were
his
abilities
,
that
she
received
assiduous
proofs
of
his
sufficiency
.
As
1.
In
his
Embassie
to
France
,
whereas
the
Queen-Mother
complemented
him
,
he
behaved
himself
very
worthy
of
his
Mistrisses

Observations
on
the
Lives
of
the
Cliffords
,
Earls
of
Cumberland
.
THE
name
hath
been
for
three
Ages
ancient
and
Noble
,
and
in
this
last
Age
Warlike
and
serviceable
:
They
had
the
government
of
the
North
in
their
own
right
for
an
hundred
yeares
,
and
the
hereditary
Sheriff-dome
of
Westmorland
in
right
of
the
Viponts
their
Relations
for
two
.
—
Henry
the
first
Earl
of
Cumberland
was
raysed
by
Henry
the
Eighth
to
that
Honour
,
1525
,
for
his
service
at
Tournay
and
Berwick
.
Henry
his
son
was
by
Queen
Mary
honoured
with
the
Garter
for
his
conduct
against
Wyat
;
and
by
Queen
Eliz.
graced
with
peculiar
favours
for
his
Industry
,
Integrity
and
Vigilance
in
the
North.
As
Nature
,
so
Nobility
subsists
and
grows
by
the
same
thing
that
it
is
made
of
:
Vertue
that
creates
,
supports
it
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Lord
George
Clifford
.
GEorge
Clifford
,
Lord
Clifford
,
Vesoye
,
&c.
Earl
of
Cumberland
,
was
son
to
Henry
second
Earl
of
that
Family
,
by
his
second
Lady
;
a
person
wholly
composed
of
true
honour
and
valour
,
whereof
he
gave
the
world
a
large
and
clear
demonstration
.
It
was
resolved
by
the
judicious
in
that
Age
,
The
way
to
humble
the
Spanish
greatness
,
was
not
in
pinching
and
pricking
of
him
in
the
Low-Countries
,
which
onely
emptied
his
veins
of
such
blood
as
was
quickly
re-filled
:
But
the
way
to
make
it
a
Cripple
for
ever
,
was
by
cutting
off
the
Spanish
s
〈…〉
ews
of
War
,
his
Monies
from
the
West-Indies
[
the
back-door
robs
the
house
.
]
In
order
whereunto
,
this
Earl
set
forth
a
small
Fleet
on
his
own
cost
,
and
adventured
his
own
person
therein
,
being
the
best
born
Englishman
that
ever
hazarded
himself
in
that
kinde
.
His
Fleet
may
be
said
to
be
bound
for
no
other
Harbour
but
the
Port
of
Honour
,
though
touching
at
the
Port
of
Profit
in
passage
thereunto
;
I
say
,
touching
,
whose
design
was
not
to
enrich
himself
,
but
impoverish
the
Enemy
.
He
was
as
merciful
as
valiant
,
(
the
best
metal
bends
best
)
and
left
impressions
of
both
in
all
places
where
he
came
.
Queen
Eliz.
Anno
1592
,
honoured
him
with
the
dignity
of
the
Garter
.
When
King
James
came
first
out
of
Scotland
to
Yorke
,
he
attended
him
with
such
an
equipage
of
Followers
for
number
and
habit
,
that
he
seemed
rather
a
King
,
than
Earl
of
Cumberland
.
Here
happened
a
Contest
between
the
Earl
and
the
Lord
President
of
the
North
,
about
carrying
the
Sword
before
the
King
in
Yorke
;
which
Office
,
upon
due
search
and
enquiry
was
adjudged
to
the
Earl
,
as
belonging
unto
him
:
and
whilest
Clifford's
Tower
is
standing
in
Yorke
,
that
Family
will
never
be
therein
forgotten
.
His
Anagram
was
as
really
as
literally
true
:
Georgius
Cliffordius
Cumberlandius
.
Davidis
regno
clarus
cum
vi
fulgebis
.
He
died
Anno
1605.
leaving
one
Daughter
and
Heir
,
the
Lady
Anne
,
married
to
the
Earl
of
Dorset
.
This
noble
person
taught
the
world
,
That
the
Art
of
making
War
hath
not
a
positive
form
,
and
that
it
ought
to
be
diversified
according
to
the
state
of
Occurrences
.
They
that
will
commit
nothing
to
Fortune
,
nor
undertake
any
Enterprize
whose
event
appeareth
not
infallible
,
escape
many
dangers
by
their
wary
conduct
,
but
fail
of
as
many
successes
by
their
unactive
fearfulnesse
.
It
's
uselesse
to
be
too
wise
,
and
spend
that
time
in
a
grave
gaze
on
businesse
,
that
might
serve
the
speedy
dispatch
of
it
.
Neither
was
our
Peer
great
onely
in
the
atchievements
of
the
Field
to
please
higher
spirits
,
but
gaudy
at
Court
to
astonish
and
ravish
the
lowest
;
making
noble
expences
when
necessary
,
and
appearing
splendid
on
the
important
occasions
,
whose
principal
quality
refided
in
Magnificence
.
Yet
was
he
not
transported
with
these
appearances
,
or
to
make
them
the
greatest
ornament
of
his
conduct
:
the
choicest
expressions
of
his
life
,
fixing
neither
his
greatnesse
upon
a
transitory
Pageant
,
nor
his
glory
upon
a
fading
Pomp.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Tho.
Smith
.
SIr
Thomas
Smith
was
born
at
Abington
in
Bark-shire
,
bred
in
the
University
of
Oxford
:
God
and
himself
raised
him
to
the
Eminency
he
attained
unto
,
unbefriended
with
any
extraction
.
He
may
seem
to
have
had
an
ingenuous
emulation
of
Sir
Thomas
Smith
Senior
,
Secretary
of
State
,
whom
he
imitated
in
many
good
qualities
,
and
had
no
doubt
equalled
in
preferment
,
if
not
prevented
by
death
.
He
attained
onely
to
be
Master
of
the
Requests
,
and
Secretary
to
King
James
for
his
Latine
Letters
:
higher
places
expecting
him
,
when
a
period
was
put
at
once
to
his
life
and
to
his
hopes
,
Novemb.
28.
1609.
The
generous
piety
of
the
honourable
Countess
of
Exeter
having
erected
him
one
Monument
at
Fulham
,
and
his
own
worth
another
in
History
.
His
Father
died
,
when
he
was
yet
so
young
,
that
he
knew
not
what
a
Father
meant
:
but
his
Mothers
affection
for
her
Husband
died
not
with
him
;
whereupon
she
multiplyed
her
cares
on
this
Gentleman
and
her
other
children
so
abundantly
,
that
a
long
while
he
little
found
the
want
of
that
dear
name
,
her
transcendent
love
so
well
supplying
the
place
of
both
relations
:
For
no
sooner
was
he
fit
to
learn
,
than
she
did
by
friends
procure
the
best
Masters
those
Times
afforded
,
to
render
his
education
perfect
in
those
exercises
as
well
of
the
minde
as
of
the
body
,
wherein
they
that
flattered
him
not
,
would
say
he
was
no
ill
Proficient
:
such
majesty
,
such
modesty
in
his
carriage
,
that
men
would
admire
how
two
such
distant
things
could
meet
in
one
subject
.
His
eye
was
quick
and
piercing
,
his
shape
and
motion
charming
;
the
ayre
and
lineaments
of
his
countenance
lively
arguments
that
his
soul
was
not
inferiour
to
his
body
,
—
but
that
the
one
promised
no
more
pleasure
to
those
that
looked
on
it
,
than
the
other
did
service
to
those
that
employed
it
:
His
meen
deserving
preferment
from
the
favour
of
a
Soveraign
,
and
his
parts
gaining
it
from
his
justice
.
Fortune
did
him
not
so
much
wrong
in
his
mean
Birth
,
as
he
did
himself
right
by
great
merit
,
so
worthy
a
Prince's
service
,
and
a
Courts
favour
:
He
read
and
saw
what
others
did
,
but
not
with
others
apprehensions
;
his
judgement
of
things
being
not
common
,
nor
his
observations
low
,
flat
,
or
vulgar
,
but
such
as
became
a
breast
now
furnishing
it self
for
businesse
and
for
government
.
There
was
an
ancient
custome
to
celebrate
the
Anniversary
of
the
King's
Coronation
with
all
the
Shews
of
Magnificence
and
joy
which
the
Art
or
Affections
of
the
People
could
invent
;
and
because
we
are
esteemed
the
Warlik'st
Nation
in
the
whole
world
,
to
continue
that
just
regulation
,
we
declined
all
those
effeminacies
which
are
so
predominant
in
other
Courts
,
and
absolutely
addicted
our
selves
to
such
Martial
exercises
as
are
nothing
lesse
pleasing
and
delightful
than
the
other
,
and
yet
fit
and
prepare
men
more
for
the
real
use
of
Arms
,
and
acquisition
of
glory
.
Here
our
Knight's
praise
came
to
my
Lord
of
Carlisle's
notice
,
who
first
designed
him
a
Commander
;
but
finding
his
Genius
more
courtly
than
Martial
,
more
learned
than
active
,
recommended
him
to
his
Majesties
softer
services
,
where
none
more
obliging
to
the
People
by
his
industry
and
interest
Court
,
none
more
serviceable
to
his
Majesty
by
the
good
name
he
gained
in
the
Countrey
:
So
careful
was
he
of
publick
content
,
that
from
five
to
nine
his
Chamber
was
open
to
all
Comers
;
where
you
would
finde
him
with
the
one
hand
making
himself
ready
,
with
the
other
receiving
Letters
;
and
in
all
this
hurry
of
Businesse
,
giving
the
most
orderly
,
clear
,
and
satisfactory
dispatches
of
any
Statesman
at
that
time
.
From
nine
to
one
he
attended
his
Master
,
to
whom
he
had
as
easie
access
as
he
gave
to
his
People
.
Two
things
set
him
up
;
1.
A
fair
respect
from
his
Master
upon
all
occasions
,
and
as
fair
a
treatment
of
the
People
:
He
had
his
distinct
Classis
of
Affairs
,
and
his
distinct
Officers
for
those
Classis
:
The
order
and
method
whereof
incredibly
advanced
his
dispatch
,
and
eased
his
burden
;
which
took
up
his
day
so
,
that
there
remained
but
some
hours
he
stole
from
night
and
sleep
,
for
his
beloved
and
dear
Studies
;
and
King
James
said
,
he
was
the
hardest
Student
in
White-Hall
—
and
therefore
he
did
not
always
trouble
his
Master
with
businesse
,
but
sometimes
please
him
with
discourse
.
If
Fortune
had
been
as
kinde
to
him
as
Nature
,
greater
Employments
had
been
at
once
his
honour
and
his
business
:
But
from
all
his
services
and
performances
,
he
derived
no
other
advantage
than
the
acting
of
them
;
and
at
his
death
he
lest
no
other
wealth
behind
him
,
but
that
of
a
high
reputation
:
never
arriving
at
those
enjoyments
that
enhance
our
Cares
,
nor
having
time
to
withdraw
himself
from
those
cares
that
take
away
the
relish
of
our
enjoyments
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Fulke
Grevil
.
SIr
Fulke
Grevil
,
son
to
Sir
Fulke
Grevil
the
elder
,
of
Becham-Court
in
Warwick-shire
,
descended
from
Willoughby
Lord
Brook
,
and
Admiral
to
Hen.
7.
was
bred
first
in
the
University
of
Cambridge
:
He
came
to
the
Court
,
back'd
with
a
full
and
fair
Estate
;
and
Queen
Elizabeth
loved
such
substantial
Courtiers
as
could
plentifully
subsist
of
themselves
:
He
was
a
good
Scholar
,
loving
much
to
employ
(
and
sometimes
to
advance
)
learned
men
,
to
whom
worthy
Bishop
Overal
chiefly
owed
his
Preferment
;
and
Mr.
Cambden
(
by
his
own
confession
)
feasted
largely
of
his
Liberality
.
His
studies
were
most
in
Poetry
and
History
,
as
his
Works
do
witnesse
:
His
stile
conceived
by
some
to
be
swelling
,
is
allowed
lofty
and
full
by
others
.
King
James
created
him
Baron
Brook
of
Beauchamp-Court
,
as
descended
from
the
sole
Daughter
and
Heir
of
Edward
Willoughby
,
last
Lord
Brook
,
in
the
Reign
of
King
Henry
the
7th
.
His
sad
death
,
or
murther
rather
,
happened
on
this
occasion
:
His
discontented
servant
conceiving
his
deserts
not
soon
,
or
well
enough
rewarded
,
wounded
him
mortally
,
and
then
(
to
save
the
Law
the
labour
)
killed
himself
;
verifying
the
observation
,
that
he
may
when
he
pleaseth
be
master
of
another
mans
life
,
who
contemneth
his
own
.
Helyeth
buried
in
Warwick
Church
under
a
Monument
of
black
and
white
Marble
,
whereon
he
is
stiled
,
Servant
to
Queen
Elizabeth
,
Counsellour
to
King
James
,
and
Friend
to
Sir
Philip
Sidney
.
Though
a
Favourite
,
he
courts
Ladies
rather
than
Honour
,
and
pursued
his
study
rather
than
his
ambition
,
being
more
contemplative
than
active
:
Others
ministered
to
Queen
Elizabeths
government
,
this
Gentleman
to
her
Recreation
and
Pleasures
:
He
came
to
Court
when
all
men
should
,
young
,
and
stayed
there
until
he
was
old
;
his
fortune
being
as
smooth
as
his
spirit
,
and
the
Queens
favour
as
lasting
as
his
merit
.
He
bred
up
States-men
,
but
was
none
.
Sir
William
Pickering
was
like
to
have
gained
the
Queens
Bed
by
studying
,
Sir
Philip
Sidney
had
her
Heart
for
writing
,
and
Sir
Fulke
Grevil
had
her
favour
for
both
:
one
great
argument
for
his
worth
,
was
his
respect
of
the
worth
of
others
;
desiring
to
be
known
to
posterity
under
no
other
notions
than
of
Shakespear's
and
Ben
Johnson's
Master
,
Chancellor
Egerton's
Patron
,
Bishop
Overal's
Lord
,
and
Sir
Philip
Sidney's
friend
.
His
soul
had
the
peace
of
a
great
fortune
,
joyned
to
a
greater
minde
:
His
worth
commended
him
to
Majesty
;
his
affablenesse
indeared
him
to
the
popularity
:
his
mornings
were
devoted
to
his
Books
,
his
afternoons
to
his
knowing
Friends
,
his
nights
to
his
debonair
Acquaintance
:
He
was
the
Queens
Counsellor
for
persons
,
as
others
were
for
matters
and
things
:
Sweet
was
his
disposition
,
winning
his
converse
,
fluent
his
discourse
,
obliging
his
looks
,
gestures
,
and
expressions
;
publick
his
spirit
,
and
large
his
soul
:
his
Genius
prompted
him
to
prepare
himself
for
Domestick
services
by
Foreign
employments
,
but
the
great
Mistriss
of
her
Subjects
affections
and
duties
forbad
it
,
and
his
own
prudence
checked
it
.
So
dear
was
he
to
the
Queen
,
that
when
his
horses
were
shipped
at
Dover
for
the
Netherlands
,
her
Mandate
by
Sir
Edward
Dier
stopped
him
:
When
he
went
over
with
Walsingham
,
he
was
remanded
;
and
when
with
Leicester
,
he
was
checked
:
He
was
the
exact
image
of
action
and
quiet
happily
united
in
him
,
seldome
well
divided
in
any
.
He
would
have
acted
his
great
principles
of
Government
,
yet
he
could
be
confined
only
to
write
them
.
He
could
sit
down
In
his
Book
called
,
The
Declination
of
Monarchs
.
with
some
Poetick
and
polite
Characters
of
Vertue
,
when
he
was
debarred
the
real
exercises
of
it

He
had
kept

had
not
that
unhappy

made
the

removed
him
from

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Robert
Cecil
.
SIr
Robert
Cecil
,
since
Earl
of
Salisbury
,
was
the
heir
of
the
Lord
Burleigh's
prudence
,
the
inheritour
of
his
favour
,
and
by
degrees
a
successor
to
his
places
,
though
not
to
his
Lands
,
for
he
was
a
younger
Brother
.
He
was
first
Secretary
of
State
,
then
Master
of
the
Wards
,
and
in
the
last
of
her
Reign
came
to
be
Lord
Treasurer
;
all
which
were
the
steps
of
his
Fathers
greatnesse
,
and
of
the
honour
he
left
to
his
house
.
For
his
person
,
he
was
not
much
beholding
to
Nature
,
though
somewhat
for
his
face
,
which
was
the
best
part
of
his
outside
:
but
for
his
inside
,
it
may
be
said
he
was
his
Father's
own
son
,
and
a
pregnant
Proficient
in
all
discipline
of
State
.
He
was
a
Courtier
from
his
Cradle
,
yet
at
the
age
of
twenty
and
upwards
,
he
was
much
short
of
his
after-proof
;
but
exposed
,
and
by
change
of
climate
he
shewed
what
he
was
,
and
what
he
would
be
:
He
lived
in
those
times
,
wherein
the
Queen
had
most
need
and
use
of
men
of
weight
;
and
amongst
able
ones
,
this
was
a
chief
,
as
having
his
sufficiency
from
his
instructions
that
begat
him
the
Tutorship
of
the
Times
and
Court
,
then
the
Academy
of
Art
and
Cunning
,
when
English
prudence
and
Counsel
was
at
the
highest
,
as
most
exercised
with
Foreign
dangers
,
and
Domestick
practices
.
Vast
was
his
apprehension
,
because
so
large
his
prospect
;
Sir
Francis
Walsingham
having
opened
the
Conclave
of
Rome
,
and
his
Father
the
Cabals
of
Spain
;
insomuch
that
he
knew
each
design
in
both
places
,
every
Port
,
every
Ship
with
the
Burthens
,
whither
bound
,
what
impediments
,
for
diversion
of
Enterprizes
,
Counsels
,
and
Resolutions
,
as
appears
by
his
private
dispatches
(
as
his
manner
was
)
with
those
of
the
Councel
,
one
whereof
to
my
Lord
Mountjoy
,
since
Earl
of
Devonshire
,
with
whom
he
seasonably
closed
,
runs
thus
—
—
I
must
in
private
put
you
out
of
Sir
Robert
Naunton'
s
Fragmenta
.
doubt
(
for
of
fear
I
know
you
cannot
be
otherwise
sensible
than
in
a
way
of
honour
)
that
the
Spaniard
will
not
come
to
you
this
year
:
for
I
have
it
from
my
own
what
preparations
are
in
all
Parts
,
and
what
he
can
do
:
For
be
confident
he
beareth
up
a
reputation
by
seeming
to
embrace
more
than
he
can
gripe
:
but
the
next
year
be
assured
he
will
cast
over
unto
you
some
Forlorn-Hopes
;
which
how
they
may
be
re-inforced
beyond
his
present
ability
,
and
his
first
intention
,
I
cannot
as
yet
make
any
certain
judgement
:
but
I
believe
out
of
my
Intelligence
,
that
you
may
expect
their
Landing
at
Munster
;
and
the
more
to
distract
you
in
several
places
,
as
at
Kingsale
,
Beer-haven
,
and
Baltimore
,
where
you
may
be
sure
(
coming
from
Sea
)
they
will
first
fortifie
and
learn
the
strength
of
the
Rebels
before
they
dare
take
the
Field
.
This
States-man's
character
is
engraven
upon
his
honour
,
and
his
portraicture
drawn
in
his
Patent
for
Earl
of
Salisbury
;
which
to
many
formal
words
hath
added
these
effectual
expressions
—
As
also
for
his
faithfulnesse
,
circumspection
,
stoutnesse
,
wisdome
,
dexterity
,
providence
and
care
not
onely
in
the
great
and
weighty
Affairs
of
Counsell
,
but
generally
also
in
all
other
Expeditions
of
the
Realm
.
And
indeed
not
a
man
upon
the
Helme
of
this
Common-wealth
understood
all
points
of
the
Compasse
better
than
himself
,
who
in
a
stayed
and
calm
setlednesse
looked
on
the
private
designs
that
were
promoted
upon
his
Mistriss
declining
,
and
privately
overthrowed
them
and
their
Masters
,
while
in
an
uninterrupted
course
of
integrity
towards
his
Mistriss
,
and
faithfulness
to
his
Countrey
,
he
kept
clear
the
succession
,
equally
careful
not
to
enjealous
his
present
Mistress
,
and
not
to
obstruct
his
future
Master
,
with
whom
he
kept
an
honest
correspondence
,
although
there
goeth
this
story
of
him
,
that
a
Post
from
Scotland
meeting
her
Majesty
upon
Greenwich-heath
,
Sir
Robert
Cecil
in
all
hast
would
needs
cut
open
the
Packet
,
and
pretending
it
stunk
,
had
time
to
perfume
it
[
her
Majesty
being
very
curious
in
her
smelling
]
and
convey
away
his
own
Letters
:
be
this
so
or
so
,
it
's
certain
,
that
when
assistant
to
the
Earl
of
Derby
in
his
French
Embassie
,
he
promoted
the
young
King
of
Scots
interest
against
his
Mothers
:
when
Sir
Francis
Walsingham's
Colleague
,
he
defeated
her
Counsels
against
him
;
and
when
principal
Secretary
,
he
sounded
,
crossed
,
and
undid
the
little
plot
that
was
shrowded
under
the
great
name
of
Essex
,
turning
and
winding
,
raising
and
ruining
the
Authors
of
it
at
his
own
pleasure
.
No
sooner
was
the
Queen
dead
,
than
his
Messenger
was
with
the
King
at
Edenburgh
,
and
he
himself
with
his
Favourite
[
Sir
George
Humes
]
at
Yorke
;
with
whose
assistance
,
and
honest
Sir
Roger
Aston's
mediation
,
King
James
makes
him
his
bosome-friend
,
his
house
[
Theobalds
]
his
residence
,
and
his
account
of
the
English
Laws
,
Government
,
and
temper
his
rule
:
Finding
him
but
Knight
and
Secretary
,
he
created
him
Baron
of
Essenden
,
Viscount
Cranbourn
,
Knight
of
the
Garter
,
and
Earl
of
Salisbury
:
He
promoted
him
Master
of
the
Wards
and
Lord
Treasurer
;
in
all
which
capacities
how
vigilant
he
was
against
the
Papists
,
and
their
Plots
,
their
Libels
(
which
he
answered
in
English
and
[
](A48796-e86940-b)a
a
Adversus
perduelles
.
Latine
very
elegantly
and
wisely
)
demonstrate
—
how
careful
of
the
publique
Treasure
,
this
Narrative
shews
.
King
James
had
bestowed
upon
Sir
Robert
Carr
twenty
thousand
pound
:
my
Lord
apprehending
the
sum
as
more
correspondent
with
his
Master's
goodnesse
,
than
his
greatnesse
,
with
the
royalty
of
his
heart
,
than
the
poverty
of
his
Exchequer
;
and
observing
his
Majesty
more
careful
of
what
money
passed
his
own
hands
,
than
what
passed
his
servants
,
contrives
that
the
good
King
should
goe
through
the
place
where
this
great
sum
lay
in
silver
to
a
treatment
;
where
demanding
whose
money
it
was
,
and
being
answered
,
that
it
was
his
own
before
he
parted
with
it
,
He
understanding
the
design
,
protested
he
was
cheated
,
and
intended
not
above
five
hundred
pounds
;
and
the
Favourite
was
glad
to
make
use
of
the
Lord
Treasurer's
mediation
for
the
moyety
of
that
great
sum
.
How
industrious
in
the
improvement
of
his
Masters
Revenue
,
these
particulars
conclude
,
viz.
1.
A
survey
of
the
Crown-lands
,
known
before
by
report
rather
than
by
measure
;
and
let
by
chance
,
rather
then
knowledge
.
2.
A
Revival
of
the
Custody-lands
Revenue
by
Commissioners
of
Asserts
.
3.
A
tarrier
of
Crown-wood-lands
,
their
growth
and
value
;
where
he
numbered
,
marked
,
and
valued
all
the
Timber
hitherto
unknown
.
4.
The
Commissioners
he
procured
to
look
into
Copy-hold-Lands
,
Wastes
,
and
Commons
.
5.
The
Rules
to
forfeited
Estates
and
extended
Lands
.
6.
The
improvement
of
the
Customs
from
86000
to
135000
pounds
per
annum
.
7.
The
bargain
about
the
London
River-water
.
8.
The
encouragement
of
all
English
Inventions
,
Manufactures
,
and
Trade
,
whereby
the
Subjects
might
be
employed
,
our
Commodities
enhanced
,
and
our
Treasure
kept
among
our selves
.
9.
The
Plantations
,
and
Transplantations
in
Ireland
.
And
10.
The
Reformation
of
the
Court
of
Wards
in
the
poynt
of
disposing
of
Orphans
.
These
services
advanced
him
to
great
honour
,
and
to
as
great
envy
,
the
popular
effects
whereof
no
man
could
have
escaped
but
one
whose
soul
was
immoveable
,
temper
calm
,
thoughts
deep
,
apprehensions
large
,
and
resolution
great
to
engage
vulgar
Errors
rather
by
the
greatness
of
his
Actions
,
than
the
eminence
of
his
Interest
—
And
satisfie
the
world
leisurely
by
his
Vertues
,
and
not
awe
it
rashly
by
his
power
;
which
got
him
even
in
that
time
St.
Gregories
Encomium
,
That
he
was
the
first
bad
,
and
the
last
good
Treasurer
since
Queen
Elizabeth's
Reign
.
I
shall
never
forget
his
,
or
his
Fathers
discourse
with
Claud
Grollart
primier
President
of
Roan
,
about
the
troubles
in
France
,
wherein
he
advised
him
to
stick
fast
to
the
King
,
though
be
saw
difficulties
:
For
it
was
his
Maxime
,
That
Kings
are
like
the
Sun
,
and
Vsurpers
like
falling-Stars
;
For
the
Sun
,
though
it
be
offuscated
and
eclipsed
with
Mists
and
Clouds
,
at
length
they
are
dispersed
;
where
the
others
are
but
the
figures
of
Stars
in
the
eyes
of
view
,
and
prove
no
more
but
Exhalations
,
which
sodainly
dissolve
,
and
fall
to
the
earth
,
where
they
are
consumed

A
discourse
which
events
there
and
elsewhere
made
an
Oracle
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Lord
Howard
of
Effingham
,
Earl
of
Nottingham
.
THe
Lord
Howard
of
Effingham
,
a
man
of
most
approved
fidelity
and
invincible
courage
,
and
Governour
of
Callice
;
though
a
Courtier
betimes
,
yet
seemed
not
to
be
in
favour
before
the
Queen
made
him
high
Admiral
of
England
.
For
his
extract
,
it
may
suffice
that
he
was
the
son
of
a
Howard
,
and
of
a
Duke
of
Norfolk
.
As
for
his
person
,
he
was
as
goodly
a
Gentleman
as
the
times
could
afford
;
he
was
one
whom
the
Queen
desired
to
honour
,
who
at
his
return
from
Cadiz
accounts
,
was
created
Earl
of
Nottingham
.
He
was
a
good
,
honest
,
and
a
brave
man
,
and
a
faithful
servant
to
his
Mistrss
,
and
such
a
one
as
the
Queen
out
of
her
own
Princely
judgement
knew
to
be
a
fit
Instrument
for
the
Admiral
's
service
,
having
a
great
opinion
of
his
fidelity
and
conduct
:
And
though
his
death
was
not
honored
with
much
wealth
,
yet
was
it
grac'd
with
the
reputation
of
honesty
.
He
was
raised
to
check
Essex
his
ambition
,
and
Leicester's
undermining
,
being
equally
popular
,
and
honest
,
yet
having
those
at
his
heels
that
could
lay
a
snare
,
and
bring
in
the
prize
.
Nature
was
a
better
friend
to
him
than
Fortune
,
and
his
Integrity
than
both
;
which
commended
him
to
a
Mistress
that
understood
Men
as
well
as
Books
,
and
knew
it
was
no
lesse
the
interest
of
Princes
to
take
counsel
concerning
Persons
,
than
concerning
matters
:
He
had
that
goodnesse
,
without
which
man
is
a
busie
,
mischievous
,
and
wretched
thing
;
yet
that
wisdome
whereby
he
was
not
so
good
(
as
the
Italian
saith
)
as
to
he
good
for
nothing
:
He
was
gentle
,
but
not
easie
;
milde
,
but
not
soft
;
obliging
not
the
fancies
of
men
,
but
their
Interest
:
None
more
civil
to
Strangers
(
his
heart
being
not
a
narrow
Island
(
as
my
Lord
Bacon
observes
)
but
a
large
Continent
:
)
None
more
tender
of
Inferiors
;
none
more
humble
to
Superiours
;
none
more
compassionate
to
the
afflicted
;
none
more
loving
to
,
or
more
beloved
of
all
.
The
Queen
said
,
she
trusted
her
Kingdom
to
his
faithfulnesse
in
88.
and
her self
to
his
conduct
.
His
alliance
to
the
Queen
brought
him
to
Court
,
but
his
honesty
kept
him
there
(
when
jealousie
had
overcast
that
great
house
of
the
Howards
:
)
ancient
Nobility
was
a
good
recommendation
to
the
Qu:
first
Favours
;
but
modesty
,
submission
,
and
integrity
were
the
Vertues
that
continued
them
:
He
had
onely
so
much
Ambition
as
rendred
him
active
and
serviceable
,
and
not
busie
or
dangerous
:
He
knew
a
Nobleman
cannot
be
safely
aspiring
,
nor
smooth
man
securely
popular
,
and
a
man
of
his
Retinue
must
not
be
busie
.
He
lived
in
an
age
when
all
honour
was
perillous
that
was
not
designed
for
service
;
when
the
State
chose
Ministers
that
were
more
sensible
of
duty
than
of
rising
;
that
loved
businesse
rather
upon
conscience
than
upon
bravery
,
and
when
the
Prince
discerned
a
busie
nature
from
a
willing
minde
:
as
the
stone
had
need
be
rich
that
is
set
without
foyl
,
so
this
noble
person
that
was
onely
real
,
had
need
of
great
parts
of
vertue
.
So
valiant
he
was
,
that
he
made
the
Spanish
Fleet
veil
to
him
,
though
it
carried
the
Empress
of
Germany
;
so
active
,
that
he
tugged
at
the
Cable
himself
in
88.
and
did
much
by
his
own
pains
,
and
more
by
his
example
:
so
skilful
,
that
he
contrived
the
Fire-ships
that
frighted
and
scattered
the
Spanish
Navy
.
Two
eminent
services
he
did
the
Protestant
Religion
when
but
twenty
one
years
of
age
:
The
first
is
,
that
he
was
so
observant
a
witnesse
of
Arch-Bishop
Parker's
consecration
,
that
with
his
bare
word
the
tale
of
the
Nags
head
came
to
nothing
.
2.
That
he
was
so
close
an
Agent
in
the
Court
of
France
,
that
no
Design
was
brewed
in
Scotland
,
none
seconded
in
France
,
but
he
with
the
Emperour
and
the
King
of
Spain's
Embassadors
assistance
[
whom
he
had
engaged
with
the
hope
of
a
Match
between
the
King
of
the
Romanes
and
his
Mistriss
]
discovered
and
defeated
with
that
successe
,
that
the
King
of
France
courted
his
Mistriss
to
a
Peace
,
and
himself
to
Favour
.
None
more
careful

matter
of
Businesse
;
none
more
splendid

businesse
of
Complement

condoling
King
Francis
his
death
with
a
Majesty
no
lesse
becoming
the
Personage
he
represented
,
than
the
Prince
he
addressed
himself
to
.
1.
His
providence
in
contriving
the
English
Ships
nimble
,
and
such
as
could
tack
about
at
pleasure
.
2.
His
prudence
in
not
hazarding
his
weak
Navy
against
the
Spanish
Army
and
Armado
in
an
Engagement
wherein
a
victory
would
be
but
a
little
glory
,
and
a
defeat
a
ruine
.
3.
His
activity
in
alarming
the
Spanish
Navy

and

.
4.
His

His

His
excellent
contrivance
of
eight

filled
with
pitch
,
wilde-fire
,
rofin

&c.
which
sent
down
the
winde

so
much
to
the
terrour
of
the
Spaniards
,
that
fearing
the

together
with

they
raised

great

His
admirable
dexterity
in
disposing
of
the
Navy
,
so
as
they
met
the
Spanish
Navy
upon
their
dispersion
with
such
successe
,
that
the
invincible
Fleet
never
saw
again
its
own
formidablenesse

ever
since
grown

most
contemptible
thing
that

10.
His
exact
intelligence
,
whereby
he
understood
what
a
Controversie
there
was
in
the
Spanish
Navy
about
this
poynt
,
Whether
they
should
stick
to
their
Commission
in
staying
for
Parma
,
which
was
their
duty
,
or
follow
the
emergent
advantages
,
which
had
been
their
discretion
,
—
and
dealt
with
them
accordingly
.
These
grand
particulars
of
this
Noble-man's
service
were
so
eminent
and
signal
,
that
Queen
Elizabeth
,
who
was
over-lavish
neither
of
her
honour
nor
her
preferments
,
would
say
commonly
of
him
and
those
brave
Heroes
under
him
,
That
they
were
born
to
save
their
Countrey
.
This
noble
person
was
of
greater
experience
than
knowledg
,
and
more
beholding
to
his
years
than
to
his
Education
,
whence
K.
James
took
great
pleasure
in
his
discourse
,
that
was
not
morose
,
obstinate
,
narrow
,
unactive
or
formal
,
like
a
Students

;
but
free
,
active
,
and
ingenuous
,
like
a
States-man's
Maximes
—
Whereof
one
was
this
;
That
never
did
Commander
a
noble
Act
that
was
Commission-bound
;
it
being
a
question
,
whether
the
Venetians
and
Spanyards
lost
more
at
Sea
and
in
the
Netherlands
before
they
discovered
that
Error
,
or
gained
more
since
.
For
whilest
we
addresse
our selves
to
the
State
,
occasions
are
lost
,
things
take
another
countenance
;
and
so
many
unexpected
accidents
happen
,
for
which
sodain
provision
must
be
made
,
that
opportunities
escape
before
we
dare
lay
hold
of
them
:
and
sometimes
we
perish
for
want
of
a
Commission
to
save
our selves
.

A
prudent
care
did
he
discover
in
providing
for
posterity
by
the
seasonable
resignation
of
his
Admiralty
;
a
faithful
friend
he
shewed
himself
in
confirming
Sir
Robert
Mansel's
place
when
he
parted
with
his
own
;
a
great
argument
of
his
own
worth
and
service
,
that
he
was
so
careful
to
reward
others
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Geo.
Hume
,
Earl
of
Dunbar
.
NO
wonder
he
is
so
great
a
Favourite
of
King
James
in
his
riper
years
,
who
was
so
faithful
a
servant
of
his
in
his
youth
:
trusted
with
his
Royal
secrets
in
Scotland
,
and
therefore
in
his
Royal
bosome
in
England
.
The
natural
reservednesse
of
all
Scots-men
,
and
the
vast
depth
of
this
,
are
not
more
necessary
to
all
Princes
,
then
they
were
pleasing
to
King
James
,
who
had
no
secrecies
that
endangered
his
Privadoes
,
though
many
that
tried
them
,
and
particularly
our
States-man
,
who
had
no
hidden
weakness
to
be
over-reached
,
nor
private
Interest
to
be
corrupted
,
but
was
a
great
Master
of
himself
,
owning
a
reach
not
to
be
comprehended
,
and
thoughts
not
to
be
fathomed
,
but
by
him
whose
heart
was
as
the
sand
of
the
Sea
.
Exact
was
his
correspondence
with
Sir
Robert
Cecil
while
in
Scotland
,
and
intimate
was
their
friendship
in
England
;
both
extorting
from
each
other
those
observations
touching
their
respective
Countreys
,
which
they
might
both
communicate
to
His
Majesty
at
their
respective
opportunities
.
His
Enterprizes
were
well
layd
,
but
unsuccessful
;
rational
,
but
unhappy
:
an
argument
that
Designes
are
onely
in
our
power
,
and
Events
in
a
higher
.
There
was
not
a
man
more
noble
and
renowned
,
more
comely
and
graceful
,
of
more
years
and
experience
[
Versatus

of
a
greater
estate
or
revenue
;
more
liberal
and
munificent
,
more
accostable
and
courteous
,
more
resolved
and
reserved
(
all
the
qualities
of
a
compleat
Ambassador
)
than
the
Earl
of
Dunbar
when
sent
to
Germany
;
yet
none
more
ineffectual
,
having
gained
no
more
by
a
tedious
and
chargeable
Negotiation
,
than
as
the
Earl
of
Nottingham
with
his
gallant
Retinue
in
Spain
,
that
the
Papists
who
were
formerly
perswaded
by
their
Jesuites
that
we
were
Monsters
,
do
now
believe
we
are
Men
;
so
useless
was
soft
Courtship
in
rough
tumults
,
and
so
little
heed
was
given
to
smooth
complements
in
Arms
and
Uproars
.
More
happy
was
he
in
Scotland
,
where
his
prudence
as
Lord
Treasurer
,
and
his
Chaplain
Doctor
Abbot's
gravity
as
Preacher
,
reduced
that
Nation
to
so
much
sobriety
as
to
admit
a
regular
Religion
and
Government
;
for
which
service
he
had
the
Exchequer
and
the
Wardrobe
for
himself
,
and
the
Arch-Bishoprick
of
Canterbury
for
the
Doctor
;
when
the
King
was
in
a
great
streight
between
the
known
merit
of
the
incomparable
Bishop
Andrews
,
and
the
last
request
of
dying
Sir
George
Hume
;
a
great
instance
of
King
James
his
abilities
in
what
Machiavel
calleth
a
Princes
Master-piece
,
viz.
the
choice
of
Servants
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Earl
of
Somerset
.
HIs
extraction
from
Scotland
put
him
in
the
way
,
his
Education
in
England
set
him
in
a
capacity
of
Advancement
.
He
was
born
seasonably
when
his
Father
served
him
that
should
be
a
King
of
England
;
and
brought
up
happily
,
when
he
might
please
him
that
was
so
—
His
beauty
and
comelinesse
tooke
his
Majestie
;
his
parts
and
prudence
obliged
him
,
who
loved
the
Cabinet
,
but
valued
the
Jewel
:
He
was
admitted
Page
of
honour
to
King
James
when
of
Scotland
,
and
his
Favourite
when
of
England
:
His
Majesties
first
observation
of
him
was
at
a
solemn
Tilting
,
where
his
delight
in
his
person
meeting
with
his
pity
of
his
mischance
(
I
mean
the
breaking
of
his
leg
there
)
first
took
him
to
his
tuition
,
and
then
to
his
Council
.
All
King
James
his
Favourites
were
of
his
own
education
,
and
so
imbued
with
his
principles
,
and
engaged
to
his
interest
.
It
was
his
Majesties
policy
to
retain
Scots
States-men
to
balance
the
English
;
It
was
Somerset's
prudence
to
entertain
English
Favouries
to
endear
the
Scots
;
therefore
Sir
Tho.
Overbury
was
as
much
of
his
Councel
as
he
was
of
his
Majesties
:
too
haughty
a
carriage
was
the
miscarriage
of
other
Minions
,
too
good
a
nature
was
bis
:
His
great
defect
being
that
goodnesse
and
humanity
that
knoweth
no
excess
,
but
errour
,
which
was
rather
a
softnesse
than
a
kindnesse
:
his
heart
was
as
large
to
others
,
as
his
Masters
was
to
him
,
and
knew
as
little
how
to
mistrust
,
as
how
to
do
any
thing
for
which
he
should
be
mistrusted
.
This
is
the
Lesson
he
was
short
in
,
That
civilities
should
be
common
,
but
favours
choice
.
The
Whale
is
steered
at
Sea
by
a
far
smaller
Fish
,
and
this
States-man
at
Court
by
far
meaner
men
than
himself
.
I
my self
(
saith
an
ingenious
man
)
have
known
many
so
far
strangers
to
what
was
convenient
,
as
they
would
scarce
concede
or
deny
any
thing
out
of
the
presence
of
their
Secretary
:
and
this
proceeded
not
seldome
from
a
distrust
there
was
no
cause
for
;
manifest
in
the
Earl
of
Somerset
,
who
though
himself
owner
of
a
competent
sufficiency
,
was
so
enchanted
with
an
opinion
of
Sir
Thomas
Overbury's
parts
,
that
he
preferred
him
from
a
Servant
to
such
an
intimate
friendship
,
as
he
could
think
nothing
well
educated
for
employment
in
his
Office
,
that
had
not
passed
his
correction
,
nor
secret
laid
up
but
in
his
bosome
;
which
swelled
him
(
saith
he
)
to
such
a
monstrosity
in
pride
,
that
I
have
heard
(
not
being
my self
then
neer
the
English
Court
)
how
he
offered
to
rant
at
his
servants
,
and
did
once
beat
his
Coachman
for
putting
his
commands
under
an
inferiour
expostulation
to
his
Master
;
and
through
this
intolerable
arrogance
in
him
,
and
remisness
in
the
Earl
,
the
sparks
first
flew
,
that
kindled
the
ruine
of
them
both
:
Friendship
being
no
more
able
to
maintain
its
interest
against
a
feminine
affection
,
than
so
great
a
pride
was
to
confine
it self
within
the
tedder
of
moderation
.
The
greatest
are
not
free
,
but
led
in
triumph
by
the
affections
of
others
,
through
the
mediation
of
their
own
.
Sir
Thomas
Overbury
would
do
what
was
most
plausible
,
and
the
Earl
must
peform
what
was
lesse
popular
.
The
King
trusted
Carr
with
his
Dispatches
,
and
Carr
trusts
Overbury
a
month
together
without
examination
,
who
had
full
Commission
to
receive
and
answer
any
Letters
or
other
Expresses
that
came
to
his
hands
:
Great
opportunities
offered
themselves
to
Sir
Robert
Carr
,
and
a
great
Soul
he
had
to
observe
them
(
Fortune
being
nothing
else
but
an
attentive
observation
of
the
revolution
of
Affairs
,
and
the
occasions
resulting
therefrom
:
)
observant
he
was
of
his
Master
,
who
raised
him
not
to
eclipse
others
,
but
like
a
brave
Prince
to
ease
himself
.
For
Princes
(
to
use
my
Lord
Bacon's
words
)
being
at
too
great
a
distance
from
their
Subjects
,
to
ease
themselves
into
their
bosomes
,
raise
some
persons
to
be
as
it
were
participes
curam
,
or
their
Companions
:
but
this
Favourite
understood
as
well
the
humour
of
the
People
,
as
he
did
the
disposition
of
his
Prince
,
obliging
the
one
no
lesse
,
than
he
pleased
the
other
.
Gay
he
was
,
as
a
Courtier
,
grave
as
a
Counsellour
:
to
Scholars
none
more
civill
,
to
Soldiers
none
more
liberal
;
of
States-men
none
more
respective
:
He
had
his
extraordinary
great
Vertues
upon
occasions
to
shew
,
and
his
ordinary
little
ones
always
to
oblige
;
a
compleatnesse
in
all
turnes
,
and
upon
all
occasions
was
his
nature
.
Familiar
he
was
,
yet
not
cheap
;
sociable
upon
regard
,
and
not
upon
facility
:
His
behaviour
was
his
soul
,
free
for
any
exercise
or
motion
;
finding
many
,
and
making
more
opportunities
to
endear
himself
:
He
broke
his
minde
to
small
observations
,
yet
he
comprehended
great
matters
:
His
carriage
was
so
exact
,
as
if
affected
;
and
yet
so
graceful
,
as
if
natural
.
That
which
overthrew
the
first
,
bewitched
the
wisest
,
and
tyred
the
most
patient
man
,
undid
this
noble
person
:
yet
so
regular
were
his
affections
,
that
he
did
nothing
publickly
in
the
Countesse
of
Essex
,
the

of

,
but
by

and

,
and

.
applause
of
England
:
his
failings
were
the
faults
of
his
years
,
rather
than
of
his
person
;
of
his
sodain
fortune
,
than
of
his
constant
temper
:
his
counsels
were
safe
and
moderate
;
his
publick
actions
honest
and
plain
;
his
first
years
of
favour
industrious
and
active
;
his
minde
noble
and
liberal
.
His
soul
capacious
and
inquisitive
;
his
temper
yielding
and
modest
.
In
a
word
,
Sir
Robert
Carr
deserved
to
be
a
Favourite
,
if
he
had
not
been
one
.
—
He
fell
because
he
medled
too
little
with
the
Secretaries
place
while
in
it
,
and
too
much
when
out
of
it
;
giving
Overbury
too
much
scope
on
the
one
hand
to
mate
him
,
and
Sir
Ralph
Winwood
too
much
offence
to
undermine
him
;
who
finding
that
new
Earls
occasions
growing
with
his
advancements
(
I
say
his
occasions
,
because
I
think
his
miscarriages
were
not
his
nature
,
but
his
necessity
)
apt
to
encroach
upon
his
and
other
Court-Offices
,
gave
ear
to
that
Intelligence
from
Flushing
,
that
might
ruine
him
,
and
set
free
himself
.
The
first
Intimation
of
his
guilt
was
his
earnestnesse
for
a
general
Pardon
;
and
the
first
argument
of
it
was
my
Lord
Chancellor's
scruples
in
sealing
it
:
whence
I
date
his
first
declining
,
attended
with
as
much
pity
as
his
first
advancement
was
with
envy
.
We
and
the
Troglodites
curse
not
the
Sun-rising
more
heartily
,
than
we
worship
it
when
it
sets
.
The
Gentleman
was
as
to
his
stature
rather
well
compacted
than
tall
;
as
to
his
features
and
favour
,
comely
,
rather
than
beautiful
.
—
The
hair
of
his
head
was
flaxen
,
and
that
of
his
face
yellow
:
His
nature
was
gentle
,
his
disposition
affable
,
his
affections
publick
,
untill
a
particular
person
and
interest
engrossed
them
:
and
the
good
Gentleman
being
sensible
of
failers
that
might
ruine
him
,
was
wholly
intent
upon
a
treasure
that
might
preserve
him
:
—
His
defect
was
,
that
he
understood
onely
his
own
age
;
and
that
the
experience
of
man's
life
cannot
furnish
examples
and
presidents
for
the
events
of
one
mans
life
.
Observations

Life

George
Abbot

GEorge
Abbot
being
one
of
that
happy
Ternion
of
Brothers
,
whereof
two
were
eminent
Prelates
,
the
third
Lord
Mayor
of
London
,
was
bred
in
Oxford
,
wherein
he
became
Mr.
of
University-Colledge
;
a
pious
man
,
and
most
excellent
Preacher
,
as
his
Lectures
on

do
declare
.
He
did
first
creep

then
run

then
flye
into
Preferment

or
rather
Preferment
did
flie
upon
him
without
his
expectation

He
was
never
Incumbent
on
any
Living
with
cure
of
Souls
,
but
was
mounted
from
a
Lecturer
to
a
Dignitary
;
so
that
he
knew
the
Stipend
and
Benevolence
of
the
one
,
and
the
Dividend
of
the
other
,
but
was
utterly
unacquainted
with
the

attending
it

with
the

had
a
suffering
;
this
(
say
some
)
was
the
cause
that
he
was
so
harsh
to
Ministers
when
brought
before
him
.
Being
Chaplain
to
the
Earl
of
Dunbar
,
then
omni-prevalent
with
King
James
,
he
was
unexpectedly
preferred
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
,
being
of
a
more
Fatherly
presence
than
those
,
who
might
almost
have
been
his
Fathers
for
age
in
the
Church
of
England
.
There
are
two
things
much
charged
upon
his
memory
;
First
,
That
in
his
house
he
respected
his
Secretary
above
his
Chaplains
;
and
out
of
it
,
alwayes
honoured
Cloaks
above
Cassocks
,
Lay
above
Clergy-men
.
Secondly
,
That
he
connived
at
the
spreading
of
Nonconformity
,
insomuch
that
a
Modern
Author
said
,
Had
Bishop
Laud
succeeded
Bancroft
,
and
the
project
of
Conformity
been
followed
without
interruption
,
there
is
little
question
to
be
made
,
but
that
our
Jerusalem
(
by
this
time
)
might
have
been
a
City
at
unity
within
it self
.
This
Arch-Bishop
was
much
humbled
with
a
casual
Homicide
of
a
Keeper
of
the
Lord
Zouch's
in
Bramel-Parke
,
though
soon
after
he
was
solemnly
quitted
from
any
irregularity
thereby
.
In
the
Reign
of
King
Charles
he
was
sequester'd
from
his
Jurisdictions
,
say
some
,
on
the
old
account
of
that
Homicide
,
though
others
say
,
for
refusing
to
License
a
Sermon
of
Doctor
Sirptborps
.
Yet
there
is
not
an
Expresse
of
either
in
the
Instrument
of
Sequestration
,
the
Commission
onely
saying
in
the
general
,
That
the
Arch-Bishop
could
not
at
that
present
in
his
own
Person
attend
those
Services
which
were
otherwise
proper
for
his
Cognizance
and
Jurisdiction
.
To
say
the
truth
,
he
was
a
man
of
good
intentions
,
and
knew
much
,
but
failed
in
what
those
ordinarily
do
that
are
devoted
to
our
modern
singularities
,
being
extreamly
obstinate
in
his
opinions
,
which
the
King
was
more
willing
to
understand
than
follow
,
because
most
times
he
looked
upon
things
according
to
the
rigour
of
Ecclesiastick
maximes
,
and
was
either
too
curious
and
irresolute
by
variety
of
reading
,
or
too
peremptory
and
positive
from
the
strictnesse
of
his
Rules
;
or
too
zealous
by
reason
of
the
seriousnesse
of
his
Study
;
or
wide
from
the
matter
,
by
reason
of
his
inexperience
,
and
aptnesse
to
require
in
the
times
he
lived
,
the
regularity
of
the
times
he
read
of
;
heeding
not
the
force
of
Circumstances
,
the
errours
of
Comparison
,
or
the
cautions
of
Application
.
I
like
his
Apology
for
his
severity
to
the
Clergy
(
that
he
was
austere
to
prevent
others
being
cruel
)
as
well
as
his
zeal
for
the
Protestant
Religion
;
onely
his
Principles
betrayed
his
profession
,
which
he
rendered
too
obnoxious
,
while
he
supported
it
by
those
novel
grounds
which
our
Adversaries
could
make
us
confesse
were
Heterodox
,
and
by
those
streight-laced
foundations
which
we
saw
our selves
too
narrow
.
As
for
instance
,
King
James
his
vast
capacity
took
him
up
once
for
making
the
Scripture
the
onely
rule
of
Civil
Affairs
;
owning
the
piety
,
but
observing
to
his
face
the
imprudence
of
that
assertion
.
Imprudence
,
I
say
,
as
for
many
reasons
,
so
for
this
,
because
to
assert
a
truth
upon
a
weak
principle
,
is
to
tempt
the
world
to
doubt
of
the
strength
of
the
first
,
when
they
see
the
weaknesse
of
the
other
.
Whether
he
went
off
in
discontent
,
and
said
,
He
would
not
attend
at
the
Councel-Table
,
because
he
should
not
wait
at
the
Altar
:
Whether
he
had
such
malignant
followers
as
called
themselves
Nicodemites
,
or
Night-Disciples
:
Whether
he
turned
noon-day
into
mid-night
,
and
mid-night
into
noon-day
,
having
a
candle
always
burning
in
his
Chamber
;
or
if
so
,
for
what
reason
,
I
would
not
have
one
of
my
years
determine
,
but
rather
refer
the
present
age
to
his
Contemporaries
pen
,
which
describes
him
thus
;
A
very
learned
man
he
was
;
his
Erudition
all
of
the
old
stamp
,
fitly
principled
in
the
Doctrine
of
St.
Augustine
,
pious
,
grave
,
and
exemplary
in
his
Conversation
:
But
some
think
him
a
better
man
than
Arch-Bishop
,
and
that
he
was
better
qualified
with
merit
for
the
Dignity
,
than
with
a
spirit
answering
the
Function
;
in
the
exercise
whereof
he
was
conceived
too
facile
and
yielding
:
his
extraordinary
remisness
in
not
exacting
strict
Conformity
to
the
prescribed
Orders
of
the
Church
in
point
of
Ceremony
,
seemed
to
resolve
those
legal
Determinations
to
their
first
Principle
of
Indifference
,
and
led
in
such
an
habit
of
Inconformity
,
as
the
future
reduction
of
those
tender-conscienced
men
to
long
discontinued
obedience
,
was
interpreted
an
innovation
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
George
Calvert
.
SIr
George
Calvert
was
bred
first
in
Trinity-Colledge
in
Oxford
,
and
then
beyond
the
Seas
.
His
Abilities
commended
him
first
to
be
Secretary
to
Bobert
Cecil
Earl
of
Salisbury
,
Lord
Treasurer
of
England
.
Afterwards
he
was
made
Clerk
of
the
Council
,
and
at
last
principal
Secretary
of
State
to
King
James
,
succeeding
Sir
Tho.
Lake
in
that
Office
,
Anno
1619.
Conceiving
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
highly
instrumental
H.
Holland
,
p.
39.
in
his
preferment
,
he
presented
him
with
a
Jewel
of
great
value
;
which
the
Duke
returned
him
again
,
not
owning
any
Activity
in
his
Advancement
,
whom
King
James
,
ex
mero
motn
,
reflecting
on
his
Abilities
,
designed
for
the
Place
.
This
Place
he
discharged
five
years
,
until
he
willingly
resigned
the
same
,
1624.
on
this
occasion
;
He
freely
confessed
himself
to
the
King
,
that
he
was
then
become
a
Roman
Catholique
,
so
that
he
must
either
be
wanting
to
his
Trust
,
or
violate
his
conscience
in
discharging
his
Office
.
This
his
Ingenuity
so
highly
affected
King
James
,
that
he
continued
him
Privy-Councellor
all
his
Reign
,
and
soon
after
created
him
Lord
Baltemore
of
Baltemore
in
Ireland
.
During
his
being
Secretary
,
he
had
a
Patent
to
him
and
his
Heirs
to
be
Absolutus
Dominus
&
Proprietarius
,
with
the
Royalties
of
a
Count
Palatine
of
the
Province
of
Avalon
in
the
New-found
land
,
a
place
so
named
by
him
in
imitation
of
old
Avalon
in
Somersetshire
,
wherein
Glassenbury
stands
,
the
first-fruits
of
Christianity
in
Britain
,
as
the
other
was
in
that
part
of
America
.
Here
he
built
a
fair
house
in
Ferry-land
,
and
spent
twenty
five
thousand
pounds
in
advancing
the
Plantation
thereof
.
Indeed
his
publick
spirit
consulted
not
his
private
profit
,
but
the
enlargement
of
Christianity
,
and
the
Kings
Dominions
,
in
that
his
ancient
,
primitive
,
and
heroick
work
of
planting
the
world
.
After
the
death
of
King
James
he
went
twice
in
person
to
New-found
Land
.
Here
when
Monsieur
de
l'Arade
with
three
men
of
War
sent
from
the
King
of
France
,
had
reduced
our
English
Fishermen
to
great
extreamity
;
this
Lord
with
two
Ships
manned
at
his
own
charge
,
chased
away
the
French-men
,
relieved
the
English
,
and
took
sixty
of
the
French
Prisoners
.
He
removed
afterwards
to
Virginia
to
view
those
parts
,
and
thence
came
into
England
,
and
obtained
of
King
Charles
the
first
(
who
had
as
great
an
esteem
of
,
and
affection
for
him
,
as
King
James
)
a
Patent
to
him
and
his
heirs
for
Mary-Land
on
the
North
of
Virginia
,
with
the
same
Title
and
Royalties
conferred
on
him
,
as
in
Avalon
aforesaid
,
now
a
hopeful
Plantation
,
peopled
with
eight
thousand
English
Souls
;
which
in
process
of
time
may
prove
more
advantageous
to
our
Nation
.
Judge
Popham
and
Sir
George
Calvert
agreed
not
more
unanimously
in
the
publick
design
of
Planting
,
than
they
differed
in
the
private
way
of
it
:
the
first
was
for
extirpating
Heathens
,
the
second
for
converting
them
.
—
He
sent
away
the
lewdest
,
this
the
soberest
people
:
the
one
was
for
present
profit
,
the
other
for
a
reasonable
expectation
(
it
being
in
the
case
of
planting
Countreys
,
as
in
that
of
planting
Woods
;
you
must
account
to
lose
almost
twenty
years
profit
,
and
expect
your
recompence
in
the
end
;
it
being
necessary
the
Province
should
first
finde
her self
,
and
then
enrich
you
.
)
The
Judge
was
for
many
Governors
,
the
Secretary
for
few
,
and
those
not
concerned
Merchants
,
but
unconcerned
Gentlemen
:
The
one
granted
Liberties
without
any
restraint
,
the
other
with
great
caution
:
The
first
set
up
a
common
Stock
,
out
of
which
the
Island
should
be
provided
for
by
proportions
;
the
second
left
every
one
to
provide
for
himself
.
Two
things
are
eminent
in
this
man
:
1.
That
though
he
was
a
Catholick
,
yet
kept
he
himself
sincere
and
disingaged
from
all
Interests
;
and
though
a
man
of
great
judgement
,
yet
not
obstinate
in
his
sentiments
,
but
taking
as
great
pleasure
in
hearing
others
opinions
,
as
in
delivering
his
own
,
which
he
heard
moderated
and
censured
with
more
patience
,
than
applauded
.
2.
That
he
carried
a
digested
and
exact
account
of
Affairs
to
his
Master
every
night
,
and
took
to
himself
the
pains
to
examine
the
Letters
which
related
to
any
Interest
that
might
be
any
ways
considerable
.
He
was
the
onely
States-man
,
that
being
engaged
to
a
decryed
party
,
yet
managed
his
business
with
that
huge
respect
for
all
sides
,
that
all
who
knew
him
,
applauded
him
;
and
none
that
had
any
thing
to
do
with
him
,
complained
of
him
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Arthur
Chichester
.
SIr
Arthur
Chichester
spent
his
youth
,
first
in
the
University
,
then
in
the
French
and
Irish
Wars
,
where
by
his
valour
he
was
effectually
assistant
,
First
,
to
plough
and
break
up
that
barbarous
Nation
by
Conquest
,
and
then
to
sow
it
with
seeds
of
civility
,
when
by
King
James
mad
Lord
Deputy
of
Ireland
.
Indeed
good
Laws
&
Provisions
had
been
made
by
his
Predecessors
to
that
purpose
:
but
alas
,
they
were
like
good
Lessons
set
for
a
Lute
out
of
tune
,
uselesse
,
until
the
Instrument
was
fitted
for
them
.
Wherefore
in
order
to
the
civilizing
of
the
Irishry
,
in
the
first
year
of
his
government
,
he
established
two
new
Circuits
for
Justices
of
Assize
,
the
one
in
Connaught
,
the
other
in
Munster
.
And
whereas
the
Circuits
in
former
times
onely
encompassed
the
English
Pale
(
as
the
Cynosura
doth
the
Pole
)
hence
forwards
like
good
Planets
in
their
several
Spheres
,
they
carried
the
influence
of
Justice
round
about
the
Kingdome
.
Yea
,
in
short
time
Ireland
was
so
cleared
of
Thieves
and
capital
Offenders
,
that
so
many
Malefactors
have
not
been
found
in
the
32
Shires
of
Ireland
,
as
in
six
English
Shires
in
the
Western
Circuits
.
He
reduced
the
Mountains
and
Glinnes
on
the
South
of
Dublin
(
formerly
thorns
in
the
side
of
the
English
Pale
)
into
the
County
of
Wicklow
;
and
in
conformity
to
the
English
custome
,
many
Irish
began
to
cut
their
Mantles
into
Cloaks
.
So
observant
was
his
eye
over
the
actions
of
suspected
persons
,
that
Tyrone
was
heard
to
complain
,
That
he
could
not
drinke
a
full
carouse
of
Sack
,
but
the
State
within
few
hours
was
advertised
thereof
.
After
he
had
been
continued
many
years
in
his
Deputyship
,
and
deservedly
made
a
Lord
,
King
James
recalled
him
home
,
and
(
loth
to
leave
his
Abilities
unemployed
)
sent
him
Embassador
to
the
Emperour
and
other
German
Princes
.
Being
besieged
in
the
City
of
Mainchine
(
a
place
much
indebted
to
his
prudence
for
seasonable
victualling
it
)
by
Count
Tilley
,
he
sent
him
word
,
that
it
was
against
the
Law
of
Nations
to
besiege
an
Embassador
:
Tilley
returned
that
he
took
no
notice
that
he
was
an
Embassador
.
The
Lord
Chichester
replyed
to
the
Messenger
,
Had
my
Master
sent
me
with
as
many
hundred
men
,
as
he
hath
sent
me
on
fruitless
Messages
,
your
Generall
should
have
known
,
that
I
had
been
a
Soldier
,
as
well
as
an
Embassador
.
King
James
at
his
return
entertained
him
with
great
commendations
,
for
so
well
discharging
his
Trust
;
and
he
died
in
as
great
honour
as
any
English-man
of
our
Age.
Thus
farre
the
Historians
.
Whence
I
observe
him
stout
in
his
nature
above
any
disorder
upon
Emergencies

resolved
in
his
temper
above
any
impressions
from

,
and

in
his
Proposal
beyond
the
expectation
of
his
own

and

There
is
a
memorable
observation
of
Philip
the
second
,
King
of
Spain
,
called
El
prudente
;
That
when
he
had
designed
one
for
Embassador
,
the
man
came
faintly
and
coldly
to
him
to
propose
some
things
for
the
accommodation
of
his
Embassie
;
and
he
said
,
How
can
I
expect
that
this
man
can
promote
and
effectuate
my
businesse
,
when
he
is
so
faint
and
fearful
in
the
solicitation
of
his
own
?
Yet
was
not
my
Lord
Chichester
more
resolute
in
Germany
,
than
wary
in
Ireland
,
where
his
opinion
was
,
that
time
must
open
and
facilitate
things
for
Reformation
of
Religion
,
by
the
Protestant
Plantations
;
by
the
care
of
good
Bishops
and
Divines
,
the
amplification
of
the
Colledge
,
the
education
of
Wards
,
an
insensible
seisure
of
Popish
liberties
,
&c.
and
that
the
Council
there
was
so
numerous
(
fifty
or
sixty
at
least
)
that
the
authority
of
it
was
debated
,
and
its
businesse
divulged
.
In
a
word
,
this
brave
Gentleman
had
an
equal
minde
,
that
kept
up
it self
between
the
discourses
of
Reason
,
and
the
examples
of
Histories
,
in
the
enjoyment
of
a
good
fortune
,
and
a
conflict
with
a
bad
.

presence
,
pretendeth
to
Forraigners
,
that
these
are
of
his
Privy-Council
;
who
cannot
but
be
much
affected
with
so
many
reverent
Aspects
.
But
surely
all
Christendome
afforded
not
a
person
which
carried
more
gravity
in
his
countenance
and
behaviour
than
Sir
Thomas
Egerton
,
insomuch
that
many
have
gone
to
the
Chancery
on
purpose
onely
to
see
his
venerable
Garb
(
happy
they
who
had
no
other
businesse
)
and
were
highly
pleased
at
so
acceptable
a
spectacle
.
Yet
was
his
outward
Case
nothing
in
comparison
of
his
inward
Abilities
,
quick
Wit
,
solid
Judgement
,
ready
Utterance
.
I
confess
Master
Cambden
saith
,
he
entred
his
Office
Magna
expectatione
&
integritatis
opinione
,
with
a
great
expectation
and
opinion
of
Integrity
:
But
no
doubt
,
had
he
revised
his
work
in
a
second
Edition
,
he
would
have
afforded
him
a
full-faced
commendation
,
when
this
Lord
had
turned
his
expectation
to
performance
.
In
the
first
of
King
James
,
of
Lord
Keeper
he
was
made
Lord
Chancellor
,
which
is
also
another
name
for
the
same
Office
:
and
on
Thursday
the
seventh
of
November
,
1616.
of
Lord
Elismer
he
was
created
Viscount
Brackley
.
It
is
given
to
Courts
whose
Jurisdictions
do
border
,
to
fall
out
about
their
bounds
;
and
the
contest
betwixt
them
is
the
hotter
,
the
higher
the
spirits
and
parts
of
the
respective
Judges
.
Great
was
the
contention
for
many
years
together
betwixt
this
Lord
of
Equity
,
and
Sir
Edward
Cooke
the
Oracle
of
Justice
at
Westminster-Hall
:
I
know
not
which
of
them
got
the
better
;
sure
I
am
,
such
another
Contest
would
(
if
this
did
not
)
have
undone
the
Conqueror
.
He
was
attended
on
with
servants
of
most
able
parts
,
and
was
the
sole
Chancellor
since
the
Reformation
,
who
had
a
Chaplain
,
which
(
though
not
immediately
)
succeeded
him
in
his
place
.
He
gave
over
his
Office
which
he
held
ful
twenty
years
,
some
few
dayes
before
his
death
;
and
by
his
own
appointment
,
his
body
was
brought
down
and
buried
at
Duddleston
in
Cheshire
,
leaving
a
fair
estate
to
his
Son
,
who
was
afterwards
created
Earl
of
Bridgewater
,
as
he
did
to
his
excellent
Son
now
living
.
When
he
saw
King
James
his
munificence
to
some
Courtiers
,
with
the
grave
Fidelity
of
a
States-man
,
he
sticked
not
often
to
tell
him
,
That
as
he
held
it
necessary
for
his
Majesty
amply
to
remunerate
all
those
his
Countrey-men
,
so
he
desired
him
carefully
to
prese
ve
his
Crown-lands
for
his
own
support
,
seeing
he
or
his
Successors
might
meet
with
Parliaments
which
would
not
supply
his
occasions
,
but
on
such
conditions
as
would
not
be
very
acceptable
unto
him
.
It
was
an
ordinary
speech
in
his
mouth
to
say
,
Frost
and
Fraud
both
end
in
Foul.
His
plain
,
but
honest
advice
to
my
Lord
of
Essex
was
,
1.
Not
to
trust
himself
,
because
they
that
stand
by
,
see
more
than
they
that
play
the
game
.
2.
To
yield
to
Time
and
Fortune
,
and
not
do
that
for
his
Enemies
,
which
they
could
never
do
for
themselves
.
3.
To
have
a
careful
eye
upon
those
actions
on
which
he
knew
there
were
many
envious
ones
.
And
for
himself
,
his
supplication
to
King
James
was
,
That
since
his
conceit
and
sense
was
grown
so
heavy
,
his
Memory
decay'd
,
his
Judgement
weak
,
his
Hearing
imperfect
,
and
his
Voice
faltering
,
he
might
desinere
potius
quam
deficere
,
and
retire
from
his
Businesse
to
his
Meditation
,
as
he
did
;
while
living
,
imparting
many
mysteries
of
the
Chancery
;
and
when
dying
,
bequeathing
as
many
choice
Books
and
Directions
to
his
then
Chaplain
,
and
his
after-Successor
Doctor
Williams
.
—
Secretary
Winwood
having
received
the
Seal
,
and
left
this
gracious
Message
with
this
good
man
,
that
his
Majesty
would
be
his
Under-keeper
,
and
not
dispose
of
it
while
he
lived
to
bear
the
name
of
Chancellor
:
nor
did
any
receive
the
Seal
out
of
the
Kings
fight
,
while
he
lived
to
bear
the
name
of
Chancellor
.
A
company
of
Citizens
got
a
Cause
passed
by
keeping
a
Witnesse
away
in
this
manner
;
one
of
them
gets
him
to
the
Tavern
,
and
there
leaves
him
with
a
quart
of
Sack
before
him
,
and
the
glass
at
his
mouth
,
and
swears
in
open
Court
,
that
he
left
him
in
a
condition
,
wherein
if
he
continueth
but
two
hours
,
he
is
a
dead
man
.
The
other
Party
finde
out
the
cheat
,
and
have
their
remedy
in
Chancery
:
Sir
Edward
Cook
brings
the
matter
to
the
Star-Chamber
,
and
threatneth
the
Chancellor
with
a
Premunire
.
The
business
is
debated
,
and
sentence
passed
for
my
Lord
Chancellor
;
with
the
comfort
whereof
,
and
the
Kings
and
Princes
Letter
to
him
upon
his
Death-bed
,
he
went
to
his
Grave
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Lord
Chief-Justice
Popham
.
SIr
John
Popham
in
his
youthful
dayes
was
a
stout
and
skilful
man
at
Sword
and
Buckler
as
any
in
that
Age
,
and
wilde
enough
in
his
Recreations
.
But
oh
!
saith
my
Author
,
if
Quick-silver
could
be
really
fixed
,
to
what
a
treasure
would
it
amount
?
Such
is
wilde
youth
seriously
reduced
to
gravity
,
as
by
this
young
man
did
appear
,
who
applyed
himself
to
a
more
profitable
Fencing
,
the
study
of
the
Lawes
;
therein
attaining
to
such
eminency
,
that
he
became
the
Queens
Attorney
,
afterwards
Lord
Chief-Justice
of
England
.
Being
sent
Anno
1600.
by
the
Queen
with
some
others
to
the
Earl
of
Essex
,
to
know
the
cause
of
the
confluence
of
so
many
Military
men
unto
his
house
,
the
Soldiers
therein
detained
him
for
a
time
,
which
some
made
tantamount
to
an
Imprisonment
.
This
his
violent
detention
Sir
John
deposed
upon
his
Oath
at
the
Earl's
Tryal
:
which
I
note
the
rather
,
for
the
rarity
thereof
,
that
a
Lord
Chief-Justice
should
be
produced
as
Witness
in
open
Court
.
In
the
beginning
of
the
Reign
of
King
James
,
his
justice
was
exemplary
on
Theeves
and
Robbers
.
The
Land
then
swarmed
with
people
which
had
been
Soldiers
,
who
had
never
gotten
(
or
else
quite
forgotten
)
any
other
Vocation
.
Hard
it
was
for
Peace
to
feed
all
the
idle
mouths
which
a
former
War
did
breed
,
being
too
proud
to
beg
,
too
lazy
to
labour
:
Those
infested
the
High-wayes
with
their
Fellonies
;
some
presuming
on
their
multitudes
,
as
the
Robber
on
the
Northern
Rode
,
whose
knot
(
otherwise
not
to
be
untied
)
Sir
John
cut
asunder
with
the
Sword
of
Justice
.
He
possessed
King
James
,
how
the
frequent
granting
of
Pardons
was
prejudicial
to
Justice
,
rendring
the
Judges
to
the
contempt
of
insolent
Malefactors
;
which
made
his
Majesty
more
sparing
afterwards
in
that
kinde
.
In
a
word
,
the
deserved
death
of
some
scores
,
preserved
the
lives
and
livelihoocs
of
some
thousands
:
Travellers
owing
their
safety
to
this
Judges
severity
,
many
years
after
his
death
.
Neither
did
he
onely
punish
Malefactors
,
but
provide
for
them
;
for
observing
that
so
many
suffered
and
died
for
none
other
reason
but
because
they
could
not
live
in
England
,
now
grown
too
populous
for
it's
self
,
and
breeding
more
Inhabitants
toan
it
could
keep
,
he
first
set
up
the
discovery
of
New-England
,
to
maintain
and
employ
those
that
could
not
live
honestly
in
the
old
;
being
of
opinion
,
that
banishment
thither
would
be
as
well
a
more
lawful
,
as
a
more
effectual
remedy
against
those
extravagancies
;
the
Authors
whereof
judge
it
more
eligible
to
hang
,
than
to
work
;
to
end
their
days
in
a
moment
,
than
to
continue
them
in
pains
:
—
onely
a
great
Judgement
observes
,
it
is
a
shameful
and
an
unblessed
thing
,
to
take
the
scum
of
people
and
wicked
condemned
men
to
be
the
people
with
whom
to
plant
:
And
not
onely
so
,
but
it
spoyleth
the
Plantation
,
for
they
will
ever
live
like
Rogues
,
and
not
fall
to
work
,
and
do
mischief
,
and
spend
Victuals
,
and
be
quickly
weary
,
and
then
certifie
over
to
the
Countrey
,
to
the
disgrace
of
the
Common-wealth
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Robert
Dudley
.
SIr
Robert
Dudley
,
son
to
Robert
Dudley
Earl
of
Leicester
,
by
Dougles
Shefield
(
whether
his
Mistriss
or
his
Wife
,
God
knows
)
was
born
at
Sbene
in
Surrey
,
and
bred
by
his
Mother
(
out
of
his
Fathers
reach
)
at
Offington
in
Sussex
,
where
he
became
a
most
compleat
Gentleman
in
all
suitable
Accomplishments
,
endeavouring
in
the
Reign
of
King
James
to
prove
his
Legitimacy
;
and
meeting
with
much
opposition
from
the
Court
,
in
distaste
,
he
left
his
Land
,
and
went
over
into
Italy
.
But
worth
is
ever
at
home
,
and
carrieth
its
own
welcome
along
with
it
.
Therefore
he
became
a
Favourite
to
the
Duke
of
Florence
,
who
highly
reflected
on
his
Abilities
,
and
used
his
Directions
in
all
his
Buildings
.
At
this
time
Legorn
from
a
childe
,
started
to
a
Man
,
without
ever
being
a
youth
,
and
of
a
small
Town
grew
a
great
City
on
a
sudden
,
and
is
much
beholding
to
this
Sir
Robert
for
its
Fairnesse
and
Firmnesse
,
as
chief
contriver
of
both
.
But
by
this
time
his
Adversaries
in
England
had
procured
him
to
be
call'd
home
by
a
special
Privy-Seal
;
which
he
refused
to
obey
,
and
thereupon
all
his
Lands
in
England
were
seised
upon
by
the
King
,
by
the
Statute
of
Fugitives
.
These
losses
doubled
the
love
of
the
Duke
of
Florence
unto
him
.
And
indeed
Sir
Robert
was
a
much-meriting
person
on
many
Accounts
,
being
an
Excellent
-
-
1
Mathematician
,
especially
for
the
Practical
part
thereof
in
Architecture
.
-
2
Physician
,
his
Catholicon
at
this
day
finding
good
Esteem
amongst
those
of
that
Faculty
.
-
3
Navigator
,
especially
in
the
Western
Seas
.
Indeed
long
before
his
leaving
of
England
,
whilest
as
yet
he
was
Rectus
in
Curia
,
well
esteemed
in
Queen
Elizabeths
Court
,
he
sailed
with
three
small
Ships
to
the
Isle
of
Trinidad
,
in
which
voyage
he
sunk
and
took
nine
Spanish
ships
;
whereof
one
an
Armada
of
600
Tun.
He
was
so
acceptable
to
Ferdinand
the
second
,
Emperour
of
Germany
,
that
by
his
Letters
Patents
bearing
date
at
Vienna
,
March
9.
1620.
he
conferred
on
him
and
his
Heirs
the
Title
of
a
Duke
of
the
Sacred
Empire
.
Understand
it
a
Title
at
large
(
as
that
of
Count
Arundel's
)
without
the
Assignation
of
any
proper
Place
unto
him
.
King
James
had
heard
so
much
of
the
Father
,
that
he
did
not
care
for
the
Son
,
who
might
have
been
neer
his
Person
,
had
not
his
Ancestors
been
so
near
his
Predecessors
—
no
other
Considerations
being
likely
to
keep
so
extraordinary
parts
at
this
distance
from
a
King
that
valued
them
so
highly
,
or
a
Kingdom
that
needed
them
so
much
.
—
That
Prince
being
as
jealous
an
observer
of
Original
sin
in
Policy
,
as
he
was
an
Orthodox
Assertor
of
it
in
Religion
,
would
trust
no
tainted
blood
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Arch-Bishop
Bancroft
.
DOctor
Richard
Bancroft
,
(
whom
his
Adversaries
character
a
better
States-man
than
Divine
,
a
better
Divine
than
Preacher
,
though
upon
good
occasion
he
shewed
he
was
all
these
)
was
bred
in
Jesus
Colledge
in
Cambridge
,
where
his
parts
in
discovering
the
bottom
of
Presbytery
,
and
his
sufficiency
when
his
Patron
Hatton's
Examiner
commended
him
to
Queen
Eliz.
to
be
Bishop
of
London
,
and
to
King
James
to
be
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
.
Indeed
he
was
in
effect
Arch-Bishop
while
Bishop
,
to
whom
Doctor
Whitgift
in
his
decrepit
age
remitted
the
managing
of
matters
,
so
that
he
was
the
soul
of
the
High-Commission
.
A
great
States-man
he
was
,
and
grand
Champion
of
Church-discipline
;
having
well
hardned
the
hands
of
his
Soul
,
which
was
no
more
than
needed
for
him
,
who
was
to
meddle
with
Nettles
and
Bryars
,
and
met
with
much
opposition
.
No
wonder
if
those
who
were
silenced
by
him
in
the
Church
,
were
loud
against
him
in
other
places
.
David
speaketh
of
poyson
under
mens
lips
;
Psal.

This
Bishop
tasted
plentifully
thereof
from
the
mouths
of
his
Enemies
,
till
at
last
(
as
Mithridates
)
he
was
so
habited
to
poisons
,
that
they
became
food
unto
him
.
Once
a
Gentleman
coming
to
visit
him
,
presented
him
a
Libel
,
which
he
found
pasted
on
his
door
;
who
being
nothing
moved
thereat
,
said
,
Cast
it
to
an
hundred
more
which
lie
here
on
a
heap
in
my
Chamber
.
Many
a
Libel
,
(
Lye
)
(
because
false
)
(
Bell
)
because
loud
▪
was
made
upon
him
.
The
aspersion
of
covetousness
,
though
cast
,
doth
not
stick
on
his
memory
,
being
confuted
by
the
Estate
which
he
left
,
small
in
proportion
to
his
great
preferment
,
being
but
6000
l.
after
being
above
twelve
years
in
London
and
Canterbury
.
He
cancelled
his
first
Will
,
wherein
he
had
bequeathed
much
to
the
Church
:
suspecting
an
impression
of
popular
violence
on
Cathedrals
,
and
fearing
an
A
ienation
of
what
was
bequeathed
unto
them
,
he
thought
fit
to
cancel
his
own
,
to
prevent
others
cancelling
his
Testament
.
This
partly
appears
by
his
second
Will
,
wherein
he
gave
the
Library
at
Lambeth
(
the
result
of
his
own
,
and
three
Predecessors
collections
)
to
the
University
of
Cambridge
(
which
now
they
possess
)
in
case
the
Arch-Episcopal
See
should
be
extinct
.
How
came
such
a
jealousie
into
his
minde
?
what
fear
of
a
storme
when
the
Sun
shined
,
the
Skye
clear
,
no
appearance
of
Clouds
?
Surely
his
skill
was
more
than
ordinary
in
the
complexion
of
the
Common
wealth
,
who
did
foresee
what
afterward
(
for
a
time
)
came
to
pass
.
This
clause
providentially
inserted
,
secured
this
Library
in
Cambridge
during
the
vacancy
of
the
Archi-Episcopal
See
,
and
so
prevented
the
embezelling
,
at
the
least
the
dismembring
thereof
,
in
our
late
civil
distempers
.
They
that
accuse
this
excellent
Prelate
of
cruelty
,
never
read
this
story
:
A
Minister
privately
protested
to
him
,
that
it
went
against
his
conscience
to
conform
.
Which
way
said
the
good
Arch-Bishop
(
observing
the
mans
ingenuity
)
will
you
live
,
if
you
be
put
out
of
your
Benefice
?
The
other
answered
,
He
bad
no
other
way
but
to
go
a
begging
.
Not
so
(
said
the
Arch-Bishop
)
that
you
shall

They
that
exclaimed
against
his
unserviceablenesse
,
never
observed
this
passage
:
A
company
of
young
Courtiers
appeared
extraordinary
gallant
at
a
Tilting
,
far
above
their
Fortunes
and
Estates
,
giving
for
their
Motto
,
Solvat
Ecclesia
.
Bishop
Bancroft
then
of
London
hearing
of
it
,
finds
on
enquiry
that
the
Queen
was
passing
a
considerable
parcel
of
Church-lands
to
them
,
and
stops
the
businesse
with
his
own
and
his
friends
Interest
,
leaving
these
Gallants
to
pay
the
shot
of
their
pride
and
prodigality
out
of
their
own
purses
.
—
And
this
;
that
a
prevalent
Courtier
had
swallowed
up
the
whole
Bishoprick
of
Durham
,
had
not
this
Arch-Bishop
seasonably
interposed
his
power
with
King
James
(
ready
enough
to
admit
such
Intercessions
)
and
dashed
the
design
.
They
that
traduce
him
for
a
Papist
,
forget
that
he
fomented
the
difference
between
the
Seculars
,
and
Regulars
,
to
the
weakning
,
and
promoted
the
foundation
of
Chelsey-Colledge
,
to
the
ruining
of
that
cause
.
But
they
that
perform
great
actions
,
reserving
as
it
is
fit
the
reason
of
them
in
their
own
bosomes
,
may
sufficiently
satisfie
their
Consciences
towards
God
,
though
they
can
hardly
avoid
the
censures
of
men
.
I
shall
add
no
more
concerning
this
excellent
Prelate
,
but
that
it
was
observed
as
the
Historian
writes
,
That
at
Hampton-Court-Conference
Arch-Bishop
Whitgift
spake
most
gravely
,
Bishop
Bilson
most
learnedly
,
but
Bishop
Bancroft
[
when

most
politickly

Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Lord
Grandison
.
SIr
Oliver
Saint-John
,
Lord
Grandison
,
&c.
descended
of
an
ancient
and
honourable
Family
,
whose
prime
Seat
was
at
Lediard-Tregoze
in
Wiltshire
,
though
their
first
settlement
was
in
South-Wales
.
He
was
bred
in
the
Wars
from
his
youth
,
and
at
last
by
King
James
was
appointed
Lord
Deputy
of
Ireland
,
and
vigorously
pursued
the
Principles
of
his
Predecessors
for
the
civilizing
thereof
.
Indeed
the
Lord
Mountjoy
reduced
that
Countrey
to
obedience
,
the
Lord
Chichester
to
some
civility
,
and
this
Lord
Grandison
first
advanced
it
to
considerable
profit
to
his
Master
.
T.

In

of
Richard

,
that
Ireland
afforded
unto
Edward
the
third
thirty
thousand
pounds
a
year
paid
into
his
Exchequer
:
but
it
appears
by
the
[
](A48796-e92090-b)b
b
Sir
John
Davies
in
Disc.
of
Ireland
,
pag.
39
,
&c.
Irish
Records
(
which
are
rather
to
be
believed
)
that
it
was
rather
a
burthen
,
and
the
constant
Revenue
thereof
beneath
the
third
part
of
that
proportion
.
But
now
,
the
Kingdom
being
peaceably
setled
,
the
income
thereof
turned
to
good
Account
,
so
that
Ireland
(
called
the
Land
of
Ire
for
the
constant
broils
therein
for
four
hundred
years
)
was
now
become
the
Land
of
Concord
.
This
noble
Person
recalled
into
England
,
lived
many
years
in
great
repute
,
leaving
his
Honours
to
his
Sisters
son
by
Sir
Edward
Villiers
,
but
the
main
of
his
Estate
to
his
Brothers
son
Sir
John
St.
John
Knight
and
Baronet
.
So
sweet
and
charming
his
Conversation
,
that
he
was
beloved
by
all
his
Superiours
,
and
envied
by
no
Inferiour
;
being
never
advanced
to
any
great
Dignity
,
but
he
was
wished
to
a
greater
:
So
exact
his
vigilancy
,
so
constant
his
industry
,
so
plausible
his
actions
,
attended
with
no
lesse
civility
to
all
men
,
than
duty
to
his
Soveraign
:
So
frank
and
ingenious
his
Integrity
,
that
none
feared
him
;
so
discreet
his
management
of
Businesse
,
and
so
strong
his
judgement
,
that
any
might
confide
in
him
.
One
he
was
that
crossed
the
Italian
Proverb
,
Di
Dunaridi
senno
,
e
di
fede
,
In
e
Manco
che
non
Crede
:
having
more
money
,
more
faith
,
yea
and
more
wisdome
too
than
was
generally
esteemed
.
I
mean
wisdome
of
behaviour
,
wisdome
of
busidesse
,
and
wisdome
of
State
;
in
the
last
whereof
he
aimed
at
a
general
settlement
,
which
he
observed
would
bear
particular
errours
,
provided
that
Care
,
Labour
,
Vigilancy
,
and
prudent
Inquietude
attended
,
that
forceth
Difficulties
,
constrains
Fortune
,
assures
good
Counsels
,
corrects
bad
,
supports
and
overthroweth
designs
,
disposeth
of
accidents
;
observeth
time
,
manageth
hazards
,
forgets
nothing
;
seldome
trusts
others
,
and
improveth
all
Occurrents
:
and
that
first
maxime
of
Policy
he
observed
,
That
who
layeth
out
most
,
layeth
out
least
,
that
petty
frugalities

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Tho
Overbury
.
SIr
Thomas
Overbury
,
son
to
Sir
Nicholas
Overbury
,
one
of
the
Judges
of
the
Marches
,
was
born
at
Burton
on
the
Hill
in
Gloucestershire
,
bred
in
Oxford
,
and
attained
to
be
a
most
accomplished
Gentleman
,
partly
at
Grayes-Inn●
and
partly
in
France
;
which
the
happinesse
of
his
Pen
both
in
Poetry
and
Prose
doth
declare
.
In
the
later
he
is
observed
to
be
the
first
writer
of
Characters
of
our
Nation
.
But
if
the
great
parts
of
this
Gentleman
were
guilty
of
Insolence
and
Petulancy
,
which
some
since
have
charged
on
his
memory
▪
reporting
of
him
,
that
he
should
say
,
Somerset
owed
his
advancement
to
him
,
and
that
he
should
walk
with
his
hat
on
before
the
Queen
;
we
may
charitably
presume
,
that
his
reduced
age
would
have
corrected
such
Juvenile
extravagancies
.
It
is
questionable
,
whether
Robert
Carr
Earl
of
Somerset
were
more
in
the
favour
of
King
James
,
or
this
Sir
Thomas
Overbury
in
the
favour
of
the
Earl
of
Somerset
,
untill
he
lost
it
by
disswading
that
Lord
from
keeping
company
with
a
Lady
(
the
Wi●e
of
another
person
of
honour
)
as
neither
for
his
credit
here
,
or
comfort
hereafter
.
Soon
after
Sir
Thomas
was
by
King
James
designed
Embassador
for
Russia
.
His
false
friends
perswaded
him
to
decline
the
Employment
,
as
no
better
than
an
honourable
Grave
.
Better
lye
some
days
in
the
Tower
,
than
more
months
in
a
worse
Prison
;
A
ship
by
Sea
,
and
a
barbarous
cold
Countrey
by
Land
.
Besides
,
they
possessed
him
,
that
within
a
small
time
,
the
K.
should
be
wrought
to
a
good
opinion
of
him
.
But
he
that
willingly
goes
into
a
Prison
,
out
of
hope
to
come
easily
out
of
it
,
may
stay
therein
so
long
,
till
he
be
too
late
convinced
of
another
Judgement
.
Whilest
Sir
Thomas
was
in
the
Tower
,
his
Refusal
was
presented
to
the
King
as
an
Act
of
high
Contempt
,
as
if
he
valued
himself
more
than
the
King's
service
.
His
strict
restraint
gave
the
greater
liberty
to
his
enemies
to
practice
his
death
,
1615.
which
was
by
poyson
performed
:
Yet
was
his
blood
legally
revenged
,
which
cost
some
a
violent
,
and
others
a
civill
death
,
as
deprived
of
their
Offices
.
The
Earl
was
soon
abated
in
King
James
his
affection
(
Oh!
the
short
distance
betwixt
the
cooling
and
quenching
of
a
Favourite
)
being
condemned
,
and
banished
the
Court.
Exact
are
the
remarks
he
drew
up
of
Foreign
Countreys
,
&
therefore
no
lesse
such
his
transactions
for
his
own
.
In
this
most
esteemed
with
King
James
and
his
Master
,
that
he
suited
both
their
Geniuses
in
the
easie
and
clear
method
,
wherein
he
expressed
the
most
difficult
and
knotty
Affairs
;
for
they
both
being
perplexed
with
that
variety
of
Affairs
in
general
,
that
they
could
not
readily
look
into
difficult
Cases
in
particular
,
loved
those
that
made
things
out
easie
and
clear
to
them
,
as
well
fitted
for
their
apprehensions
,
as
obvious
to
their
judgement
—
owning
a
Soul
so
quiet
,
that
abate
its
youthful
extravagancies
,
it
knew
not
a
motion
but
what
was
Duty
and
Interest
;
felt
no
agitation
but
what
was
reason
,
and
what
Philosophy
conveyed
into
the
souls
of
the
wisest
,
and
observation
insinuated
into
the
spirit
of
the
closest
:
if
he
expected
a
recompence
suitable
to
his
services
,
or
an
acknowledgement
answerable
to
his
merit
,
he
understood
not
the
humour
and
nature
of
man-kinde
,
the
interest
of
Favourites
,
or
his
own
parts
,
too
guilty
of
reputation
to
be
advanced
,
and
of
power
not
to
be
suppressed
.
—
It
's
Machi●vel's
rule
;
That
they
who
rise
very
high
,
should
descend
timely
,
and
quit
the
envy
,
lest
they
lose
the
honour
of
their
greatnesse
.
Although
this
Gentleman's
skill
in
accommodating
Factions
,
in
the
Art
of
Negotiation
,
in
the
charm
of
Language
,
in
the
Interest
of
Princes
,
in
mastering
his
own
Resentments
as
well
as
his
Enemies
that
provoked
him
,
had
preserved
him
,
if
he
had
known
as
well
how
to
hold
his
Tongue
,
as
how
to
speak
;
if
he
had
understood
others
humours
as
well
as
they
did
his
;
and
if
he
had
skilled
as
well
from
whom
to
have
refused
kindnesse
,
as
from
whom
he
deserved
it
.
—
In
a
word
,
he
that
considered
so
many
other
Maximes
,
was
defective
in
complyance
with
his
own
,
viz.
That
vertue
is
there
unprofitable
,
where
too
great
;
and
that
many
had
lost
the
favour
of
their
Masters
by
over-much
meriting
it
.

;
witnesse
his
faithful
Translations
of

and
learned
Illustrations
on
Caesar's
Commentaries
.
Say
not
that
Comment
on
Commentary
was
false
Heraldry
,
seeing
it
is
so
worthy
a
work
,
that
the
Author
thereof
may
passe
for
an
eminent
instance
to
what
perfection
of
Theory
they
may
attain
to
in
matter
of
War
,
who
were
not
acquainted
with
the
practick
part
thereof
;
being
once
employed
by
Queen
Elizabeth
,
with
a
dispatch
to
Sir
Francis
Vere
,
which
occasioned
his
presence
at
the
Battel
at
Newport
:
For
he
doth
so
smartly
discuss
,
pro
and
con
,
and
seriously
decide
many
Martial
Controversies
,
that
his
judgement
therein
is
praised
by
the
best
Military
Masters
.
King
James
taking
notice
of
his
Abilities
,
made
him
Clerk
of
the
Council
,
and
Knighted
him
;
and
he
was
at
last
preferred
Secretary
of
State
,
in
the
vacancy
of
that
place
;
but
prevented
by
death
,
he
acted
not
therein
.
At
this
day
his
goodnesse
in
his
general
carriage
out-did
his
prudence
and
his
prudence
in
particular
,
his
goodnesse
;
but
his
industry
both
in
all
things
,
and
in
nothing
more
than
in
his
Scotch
Negotiations
,
where
he
over-reached
the
slye
French
,
composed
and
setled
the
unsatisfied
King
,
and
sent
those
weekly
Advertisements
to
his
Mistriss
,
that
Sir
Robert
Cecil
confessed
the
Master-wheel
of
those
years
revolutions
.
When
Charls
the
fifth
presented
Secretary
Eraso
to
his
Son
Philip
the
second
,
he
said
,
He
gave
him
somewhat
greater
than
his
Estate
,
and
more
royal
than
his
Empire
.
When
Sir
William
Waad
introduced
Sir
Clement
Edmonds
to
Court
,
he
brought
thither
in
that
person
more
than
he
could
carry
away
in
his
own
:
A
person
much
accomplished
in
the
great
precepts
and
rules
he
observed
;
more
in
his
experience
and
application
of
those
he
practised
;
wherein
he
was
wise
,
but
not
presumptuous
;
exact
,
but
not
pedantick
;
allowing
much
to
old
Observations
,
more
to
new
Circumstances
:
He
was
not
more
beholding
to
his
Nature
,
than
his
Nature
to
his
Study
and
Meditation
;
and
that
to
time
and
experience
,
which
offered
at
once
occasions
of
instruction
,
and
matter
of
exercises
,
to
his
great
understanding
,
so
well
acquainted
with
the
affairs
of
former
Ages
,
that
he
could
not
be
surprized
with
those
of
his
own
,
knowing
how
to
command
,
before
he
was
called
to
obey
as
who
trusted
not
to
his
own
,
short
and
perplexed
life
,
that
scarce
holds
out
five
or
six
important
Negotiations
,
and
ordinarily
ceaseth
to
be
,
before
it
beginneth
to
know
:
but
his
policy
may
be
guessed
from
his
morality
;
and
his
publick
carriage
in
the
●umults
of
Affairs
,
from
his
private
conduct
and
command
in
the
disorders
of
nature
,
these
being
as
well
managed
by
his
reason
,
as
the
former
by
his
prudence
:
His
lesser
skill
in
governing
the
little
world
being
an
earnest
of
that
more
large
in
ruling
the
greater
.
—
The
Government
of
others
,
saith
Philosophy
,
is
not
fit
for
him
who
is
a
Slave
to
himself
.

Yoak

James
Hay
600
years
after
saved
the
King
of
that
Countrey
from
the
Gowries
at
their
house
with
a
Culter
in
his
:
the
first
had
as
much
ground
assigned
him
by
King
Kenith
as
a
Falcon
could
flye
over
at
one
flight
,
and
the
other
as
much
Land
as
he
could
ride
round
in
two
dayes
.
The
whole
Family
fell
before
Dublin-Castle
in
former
dayes
,
save
a
childe
left
in
his
Mothers
womb
;
and
had
decayed
in
ours
,
but
that
the
heir
of
it
was
cut
out
from
his
.
He
served
his
Master
in
Scotland
by
his
Generosity
,
and
in
England
with
his
Hospitality
;
the
decay
whereof
King
James
observed
the
defect
of
the
English
Nobility
;
and
the
restauration
of
it
,
he
designed
the
honour
of
the
Sc●ts
Gentry
.
Royal
was
his
Masters
munificence
towards
him
,
noble
his
towards
others
;
His
Majesty
being
not
more
intent
upon
his
advancement
for
publick
service
,
than
he
was
upon
the
advancement
of
others
to
his
private
assistance
:
His
Majesties
gracious
inclination
being
for
a
Reign
of
Peace
,
this
servants
estate
was
spent
upon
the
Arts
of
it
,
I
mean
upon
Feasts
,
Masques
,
gay
Cloathes
,
and
such
other
Delicacies
as
might
soften
our
harsher
natures
to
quietnesse
,
that
Princes
interest
,
who
was
first
to
understand
,
and
then
to
manage
the
strength
of
this
Nation
.
Although
he
failed
in
most
of
his
Negotiations
,
because
he
carried
his
money
on
his
back
,
rather
than
in
his
purse
;
rather
to
spend
,
than
to
bestow
;
and
amaze
Foreigners
,
rather
than
oblige
them
:
Yet
was
his
Embassie
more
suitable
to
the
French
vanity
,
than
either
the
Dutch
thrift
,
or
the
Germane
plainnesse
;
and
his
carriage
more
answerable
to
a
gawdy
Treaty
of
Marriage
,
than
to
a
close
Agency
for
Interest
,
or
the
intricate
consultations
of
War
.
So
great
the
report
of
his
Hospitality
,
that
an
Host
of
Delph
demanded
sixty
pounds
for
providing
him
a
Supper
,
though
he
never
came
that
way
;
yet
so
displeasing
to
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
that
when
his
Steward
asked
what
he
should
provide
extraordinarily
for
the
great
Embassador's
entertainment
;
the
Prince
looks
on
his
Bill
of
Fare
,
and
whereas
there
was
but
one
Pig
,
he
bid
them
write
two
;
tartly
reflecting
as
well
on
my
Lords
Nation
,
as
his
magnificence
.
—
One
of
his
Entertainments
I
understand
not
the
reason
of
,
I
mean
his
Ante-Suppers
;
the
manner
of
which
was
,
to
have
the
Board
covered
at
the
first
entrance
of
Guests
,
with
dishes
as
high
as
a
tall
man
could
well
reach
,
filled
with
the
choicest
and
dearest
Viands
Sea
or
Land
could
afford
:
and
all
this
once
seen
,
and
having
feasted
the
eyes
of
the
invited
,
was
removed
,
and
fresh
set
on
to
the
same
height
,
having
onely
this
advantage
of
the
other
,
that
it
was
hot
;
at
one
whereof
,
an
Attendant
eat
to
his
single
share
a
whole
Pye
reckoned
to
my
Lord
at
twenty
pounds
,
being
composed
of
Amber-greece
,
Magisterial
of
Pearl
,
Musk
,
&c.
yet
was
so
far
from
being
sweet
in
the
morning
,
that
he
almost
poysoned
his
whole
Family
,
flying
himself
like
the
Satyr
from
his
own
stink
:
and
another
went
away
with
forty
pound
of
Sweet-meats
in
his
Cloak-bag
.
Yet
must
I
needs
judge
him
uncharitable
that
writ
of
this
noble
person
,
that
when
the
most
able
Physicians
,
and
his
own
weaknesse
had
passed
a
judgement
he
could
not
live
many
dayes
,
he
did
not
forbear
his
Entertainments
,
but
made
divers
brave
Cloaths
,
as
he
said
,
to
outface
naked
and
despicable
Death
;
adding
withal
,
That
nature
wanted
wisdome
,
power
or
love
,
in
making
man
mortal
and
subject
to
diseases
:
Forgetting
(
as
that
censorious
Pen
goeth
on
)
that
if
every
Individual
his
own
lust
had
been
able
to
have
produced
,
should
have
prosecuted
an
equal
excesse
with
his
,
they
would
in
a
far
lesse
time
than
an
age
have
brought
themselves
or
the
world
into
the
same
disease
he
died
of
,
which
was
a
Consumption
.
For
my
part
,
I
adhere
to
their
Civility
that
represent
his
nature
modest
,
his
demeanor
fair
and
Court-like
,
his
obligations
general
,
his
interest
as
great
with
the
Favourite
as
with
the
King
;
and
so
much
the
greater
with
the
King
,
as
he
studied
him
more
,
and
understood
him
better
than
any
man
:
though
one
observeth
,
he
was
rather
in
his
favour
,
than
in
his
bosome
,
and
therefore
he
took
care
,
That
as
his
Expedition
and
Civility
made
him
the
great
Master
of
Requests
at
Court
,
so
his
Marriage
with
the
Heir-general
of
the
Dennies
should
get
him
an
Estate
in
the
Countrey
—
wherewith
he
compleated
his
kindnesse
with
bounty
,
and
adorned
his
bounty
with
courtesie
.
—
Courtesie
not
affected
,
but
naturally
made
up
of
humility
,
that
secured
him
from
Envy
,
and
a
Civility
that
kept
him
in
esteem
;
he
being
happy
in
an
expression
that
was
high
,
and
not
formal
;
and
a
Language
that
was
Courtly
,
and
yet
real
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Thomas
Lake
.
SIr
Thomas
Lake
was
bred
a
Scholar
under
Saravia
in
Hampshire
,
a
States-man
under
Sir
Francis
Walsingham
at
Court
,
where
such
his
dexterity
and
dispatch
,
that
he
would
indite
,
write
,
and
discourse
at
the
same
time
,
more
exactly
than
most
men
could
severally
perform
them
,
being
then
called
the
Swift-sure
;
such
his
celerity
and
solidity
in
all
Affairs
!
From
the
Secretaries
Amanuensis
,
he
was
promoted
the
Queens
Clerk
of
the
Signet
,
to
whom
he
read
French
and
Latine
to
her
dying
day
;
for
he
was
reading
to
her
,
when
the
Countesse
of
Warwick
told
him
that
the
Queen
was
departed
.
In
which
Tongues
she
often
said
he
surpassed
her
Secretaries
.
Such
his
sufficiency
(
especially
in
keeping
secrets
)
that
King
James
employed
him
in
some
French
Affairs
at
his
first
arrival
without
Cecil
,
and
afterwards
as
Secretary
of
State
above
him
.
For
King
James
(
that
loved
what
ever
was
facile
and
fluent
)
being
taken
among
other
his
Abilities
with
his
Latine
pen
,
said
,
that
he
was
a
Minister
of
State
fit
to
serve
the
greatest
Prince
in
Europe
;
and
that
the
Secretaries
place
needed
him
more
than
he
it
.
Of
whom
I
have
no
more
to
add
,
but
that
he
was
one
of
the
three
noble
hands
that
first
led
Mr.
George
Villiers
to
King
James
his
Favour
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Lyonel
Cranfield
,
Earl
of
Middlesex
.
SIr
Lyonel
was
born
in
Basinghal
street
,
a
Citizen
,
bred
in
the
Custome-house
,
a
Merchant-Adventurer
;
his
own
Tutor
,
and
his
own
University
;
though
his
Family
was
ancient
in
Gloucestershire
,
and
his
Arms
in
the
Heralds
Office
.
King
James
was
taken
with
hm
for
his
brief
,
clear
,
strong
and
pertinent
discourses
:
The
Duke
of
Buckingham
was
displeased
because
he
would
stand
without
him
,
yea
in
some
things
against
him
:
many
were
as
active
as
this
stirring
Lord
,
none
more
exact
;
his
presence
was
comely
,
his
countenance
cheerful
and
grave
,
his
soul
witty
and
wise
,
his
apprehension
quick
and
solid
,
his
thoughts
setled
and
resolved
.
When
one
asked
him
how
a
man
might
prevent
death
,
he
said
,
Get
to
be
Lord-Treasurer
,
for
none
died
in
that
Office
.
Though
no
Scholar
,
yet
was
he
bountiful
to
Scholars
;
though
a
Courtier
,
yet
was
he
hospitable
in
the
Countrey
;
though
he
suffered
much
,
yet
was
he
contented
;
and
though
he
lost
much
,
yet
was
he
charitable
.
Very
serviceable
he
was
to
the
State
in
the
business
of
Trade
in
general
,
but
most
in
that
of
the
Custom-house
in
particular
:
His
first
preferment
was
the
custody
of
the
Wardrobe
,
his
second
was
the
Mastership
of
the
Court
of
Wards
and
Liveries
,
and
his
third
the
Treasurer-ship
of
England
.
In
the
last
whereof
,
his
improvement
of
the
Revenue
,
gained
him
not
more
honour
with
the
King
,
than
it
did
him
envy
from
the
Courtiers
;
While
to
piece
out
the
Treasure
with
the
expence
,
he
husbanded
the
one
so
thristily
,
and
retrenched
the
other
so
rigidly
,
that
malice
it self
after
many
attempts
to
that
purpose
,
could
finde
no
fault
with
his
exact
account
in
the
boundlesse
trust
of
the
tempting
Treasury
.
When
the
Prince
was
in
Spain
,
he
was
the
States-man
of
the
Council-Table
,
and
the
chief
Minister
of
the
Cabal
,
managing
all
the
Dispatches
,
and
overlooking
all
the
Expences
:
In
the
last
of
which
services
he
ran
counter
to
the
Duke
of
Buckingham's
inclination
,
and
his
own
Interest
;
which
was
to
keep
himself
up
by
that
noble
Person
's
favour
,
as
he
rose
by
his
alliance
.
The
occasion
of
his
preferment
might
be
some
saving
secrets
of
the
Custome-house-men
to
improve
the
Revenue
;
the
reason
of
his
decline
,
was
some
thristy
suggestion
touching
the
Courtiers
to
preserve
it
.
This
is
certain
,
he
was
a
man
fit
for
government
,
who
quickly
apprehended
where
any
evil
was
,
and
had
capacity
enough
to
apply
the
remedy
;
onely
he
had
a
little
too
stiffe
a
nature
that
would
not
easily
yield
,
when
he
found
on
which
side
there
was
most
reason
;
and
too
much
of
the
City
in
his
maximes
,
which
pretended
to
attain
to
that
in
a
short
time
,
which
Politicians
think
not
proper
to
arrive
at
but
by
a
leasurely
succession
of
Ages
and
Generations
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Henry
Howard
Earl
of
Northampton
.
THis
Family
had
endeared
it self
to
many
Kings
by
its
services
,
but
to
none
more
than
King
James
by
its
obligations
.
Thomas
Duke
of
Norfolke
being
as
it
were
his
Mothers
Martyr
[
executed
for
a
design
to
marry
her
]
and
all
his
Relations
his
Confessors
[
kept
under
for
their
inclinations
to
advance
him
:
]
Reasonable
therefore
it
was
,
that
my
Lord
that
Dukes
brother
should
be
made
Baron
of
Marnhill
,
Earl
of
Northampton
,
Knight
of
the
Garter
,
Privy-Councellor
,
Lord
Privy-Seal
,
and
Lord
Warden
of
the
Cinque-Ports
.
—
Learning
in
any
man
had
King
James
his
affection
,
especially
in
a
Noble-man
,
as
our
States-man
,
who
was
as
serious
a
Student
in
Kings-Colledge
and
Trinity-Hall
in
Cambridge
,
as
a
discerning
observator
in
Rome
and
Florence
in
Italy
.
His
Dispensative
against
the
supposed
poyson
of
Prophesies
,
dedicated
to
Sir
Francis
Walsingham
,
bespeaks
him
a
great
and
a
general
Scholar
:
His
Speeches
at
Cambridge
and
in
Star-Chamber
,
argue
him
both
witty
and
wise
:
His
expences
shewed
him
publick-spirited
,
the
unparallel'd
port
of
his
Family
and
dependants
an
Ancient
Noble-man
:
His
designing
of
Audley-End
,
and
building
of
Suffolk-house
,
an
Architect
:
His
Hospital
for
twelve
poor
women
,
and
a
Governour
at
Rise
in
Norfolk
;
for
twelve
poor
men
,
and
a
Governour
at
Clin
in
Shropshire
;
for
twenty
poor
men
,
and
a
Governour
at
Greenwich
in
Kent
[
whereof
eight
to
be
chosen
out
of
Shose-Sham
where
he
was
born
]
a
charitable
man
:
his
using
of
all
his
interest
to
avoid
the
burthen
&
weight
of
the
Treasurer's
place
,
and
procure
it
for
the
Earl
of
Suffolke
his
Nephew
,
his
noble
disposition
,
not
to
advance
himself
by
Court-flattery
,
or
his
fortune
by
State
employment
,
being
a
Batchellour
and
a
Student
;
An
instance
of
my
Lord
Bacon's
observation
;
He
that
hath
Wife
and
Children
,
hath
given
Hostages
to
Fortune
,
for
they
are
Impediments
to
great
Enterprizes
either
to
Vertue
or
Mischief
.
Certainly
the
best
works
,
and
of
greatest
merit
for
the
Publick
proceed
from
the
unmarried
and
the
Childelesse
,
which
both
in
affection
and
means
have
married
and
endowed
the
Publick
.
But
to
conclude
this
particular
;
this
Lord
told
his
intimate
Secretary
Mr.
George
Penny
(
who
related
it
to
my
Author
)
that
his
Nativity
(
at
his
Fathers
desire
)
was
calculated
by
a
skilful
Italian
Astrologer
,
who
told
him
that
this
his
Infant-son
should
taste
of
much
trouble
in
the
middest
of
his
life
,
even
to
the
want
of
a
meals
meat
;
but
his
old
age
should
make
amends
for
all
,
with
a
plentiful
estate
:
which
came
to
passe
accordingly
.
For
his
Father
dying
in
his
infancy
,
no
plentiful
provision
was
made
for
him
:
and
when
his
eldest
Brother
Thomas
Duke
of
Norfolke
was
executed
,
his
condition
was
much
impaired
;
insomuch
that
being
once
in
London
(
not
overstocked
with
money
(
when
his
noble
Nephews
the
Earl
of
Arundel
and
the
Lord
Thomas
Howard
were
out
of
Town
)
and
loath
to
pin
himself
on
any
Table
uninvited
)
he
was
fain
to
dine
with
the
Chair
of
Duke
Humphrey
;
but
other
(
not
to
say
better
company
)
viz.
reading
of
books
in
Stationers
Shops
in
St.
Paul's
Church-yard
;
though
afterwards
he
attained
to
great
wealth
,
honour
and
command
:
However
that
Lord
gave
little
credit
to
,
and
placed
lesse
confidence
in
such
Predictions
,
as
appeared
by
a
learned
Work
he
hath
written
on
that
subject
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
John
Ramsey
,
Earl
of
Holderness
,
and
Sir
Tho.
Ereskin
Earl
of
Kelly
.
BOth
their
preferments
began
on
the
same
occasion
;
both
their
natures
were
eminent
for
the
same
innocence
and
goodnesse
;
both
their
services
tend
to
the
same
iss●e
,
and
therefore
both
their
Characters
come
under
one
observation
;
which
it's
more
proper
to
take
in
the
word
of
their
Countrey-man
and
Contemporary
that
knew
them
,
than
in
the
expression
of
a
stranger
that
onely
heard
of
them
.
The
whole
story
runs
thus
:
The
name
of
Ruthen
in
Scotland
was
not
notorious
,
until
Anno
1568.
when
Ruthen
amongst
others
,
Confederates
,
in
those
divided
times
of
trouble
,
laboured
much
for
the
imprisoning
Queen
Mary
Mother
to
King
James
.
In
1582.
his
son
William
was
created
Earl
Gowry
,
in
the
time
of
that
King's
minority
,
though
the
Father
bore
deadly
hatred
to
the
King's
prosperity
.
And
in
1584.
himself
was
in
actual
Rebellion
,
in
which
he
suffered
at
Dondee
.
His
eldest
son
John
,
then
in
Travel
in
Italy
,
returns
home
to
inherit
his
lands
and
honours
;
but
not
one
jot
changed
in
disposition
from
the
traiterous
wayes
of
his
Predecessors
:
For
not
long
after
he
falls
into
this
Conspiracy
;
which
is
not
so
ancient
,
but
that
many
then
and
now
living
can
,
and
my self
have
heard
the
repetition
.
The
house
of
Gowry
were
all
of
them
much
addicted
to
study
Chymistry
;
and
these
more
to
practise
it
,
often
publishing
(
as
such
Professors
usually
do
)
more
rare
experiments
then
ever
could
be
performed
;
wherein
the
King
(
a
general
Scholar
)
had
little
faith
.
But
to
infuse
more
credit
to
the
practice
,
Alexander
Ruthen
the
second
brother
takes
this
occasion
,
and
withal
conspires
with
Gowry
to
assassinate
the
King
;
and
taking
opportunity
in
his
hunting
,
not
far
from
his
house
St.
Johnstone
,
invites
the
King
to
be
an
eye-witnesse
of
his
productions
.
In
their
way
Sir
Thomas
Erskin
(
after
Lord
Kelly
)
overtakes
them
and
others
,
Demanding
of
the
Duke
of
Lenox
,
then
present
,
why
Alexander
had
ingrossed
the
King's
eare
,
to
carry
him
from
his
Sports
?
Peace
man
,
said
the
Duke
,
Wee's
all
be
turn'd
into
gold
.
Not
far
they
rid
,
but
that
the
Earl
Gowry
made
good
by
protestation
his
Brother's
story
.
And
thus
was
the
King
brought
to
be
a
Guest
.
Neer
the
end
of
Dinner
,
at
his
Fruit
,
and
the
Lords
and
Waiters
gone
to
eat
,
Alexander
begs
of
the
King
,
at
this
opportunity
to
withdraw
,
and
to
be
partaker
of
his
Production
,
to
the
view
of
that
which
yet
he
could
not
believe
.
And
up
he
leads
the
King
into
by-lodgings
,
locking
each
door
behind
them
,
till
they
came
into
a
Back
Room
;
where
no
sooner
entered
,
but
that
Alexander
claps
on
his
Bonnet
,
and
with
stern
countenance
,
faces
the
King
,
and
says
;
Now
Sir
,
you
must
know
,
I
had
a
Father
,
whose
blood
calls
for
revenge
shed
for
your
sake
.
The
King
amazed
,
deales
gently
with
his
fury
,
excuses
the
guilt
of
his
death
,
by
his
then
-
Infancy
.
Advising
him
not
to
lay
violent
hands
on
the
sacred
Person
of
his
Anointed
Soveraign
,
Especially
in
a
cause
of
his
Innocency
:
Pleading
the
Laws
of
God
&
Man
;
which
so
much
wrought
upon
him
,
that
he
said
,
Well
,
I
will
speak
with
my
Brother
:
and
so
put
the
King
into
a
Lobby
Room
next
the
Chamber
;
where
no
sooner
entered
,
but
that
there
appeared
a
fellow
weaponed
,
ready
for
execution
,
to
whose
custody
the
King
is
committed
till
his
return
.
Alexander
gone
down
,
the
fellow
trembles
with
Reverence
,
puts
down
his
Sword
,
and
craves
pardon
;
which
gave
the
King
occasion
to
work
upon
that
passion
,
and
to
ask
him
whether
he
resolved
to
murther
him
?
Being
assured
to
the
contrary
,
the
King
gets
leave
to
open
a
window
,
that
looked
into
a
back
Court
.
When
presently
Alexander
returns
,
and
tells
the
King
that
he
must
dye
:
But
much
affrighted
at
the
Fellow's
〈◊〉
,
with
his
sword
offers
violence
to
the
King
;
Which
the
fellow
seemingly
opposes
,
and
between
them
began
a
〈◊〉
,
which
gave
advantage
to
the
King
to
cry
Tre●son
at
the
Window
,
which
looked
into
a
back-Court
,
where
Sir
Thomas
Erskin
,
and
o●●
Herries
,
were
come
in
pursuit
of
the
King
,
who
was
rumoured
to
be
gone
out
the
back-way
to
his
●●nting
.
At
the
cry
of
Treason
,
and
known
to
be
the
King's
voice
,
they
both
hastened
up
a
back-stair
,
called
the
Turn-pike
,
being
directed
by
a
servant
of
the
house
,
who
saw
Alexander
ascend
that
way
.
And
so
forcing
some
doors
,
they
found
them
above
,
panting
with
the
fray
;
and
up
comes
also
at
heels
of
them
,
John
Ramsey
(
after
Earl
of
Holdernesse
:
)
by
them
Alexander
was
soon
dispatched
.
Not
long
after
came
the
Earl
Gowry
(
by
his
double
key
)
the
first
way
,
with
a
case
of
Rapiers
,
his
usual
weapons
,
and
ready
drawn
.
To
whom
Erskin
said
,
as
to
divert
his
purpose
;
What
do
you
mean
,
my
Lord
?
the
King
is
kill'd
:
(
for
the
King
was
shadowed
,
having
cast
himself
upon
a
Bed
from
his
sight
,
and
his
Cloak
was
thrown
upon
the
Body
of
Alexander
,
bleeding
upon
the
ground
.
)
At
which
Gowry
stops
,
sinking
the
points
of
his
weapons
;
when
suddenly
Herries
strikes
at
him
with
a
hunting
Falchion
.
And
Ramsey
having
his
Hawk
on
his
●ist
,
casts
her
off
,
and
steps
in
to
Gowry
,
and
stabs
him
to
the
heart
;
and
forthwith
more
Company
came
up
.
Not
long
after
this
Conspiracy
,
Herries
dies
well
rewarded
.
John
Ramsey
hath
the
Honour
of
Knighthood
,
with
an
additional
bearing
to
his
Coat
of
Arms
,
A
Hand
holding
forth
a
Dagger
,
reversed
proper
,
piercing
a
bloody
Heart
,
The
point
crowned
Emperial
,
with
this
Distick
,
Haec
Dextra
Vindex
Principis
&
P●triae
.
Afterwards
he
was
created
Lord
Haddington
,
and
Earl
of
Holdernesse
.
Sir
Thomas
Erskin
was
afterwards
created
Earl
of
Kelly
,
Knight
of
the
Garter
,
Captain
of
the
King's
Guard
,
and
Groom
of
the
Stool
;
and
the
Fellow
designed
for
the
Murtherer
,
had
a
large
Pension
confirmed
by
Act
of
their
Parliament
.
And
all
these
men
(
but
Herries
)
were
living
,
with
other
witnesses
,
at
King
James
his
journey
,
when
he
went
from
hence
to
visit
Scotland
,
and
met
together
by
direction
at
the
same
house
,
with
Ceremony
;
and
all
of
them
,
with
a
number
of
Courtiers
,
ascended
into
the
same
Room
,
the
blood
yet
remaining
where
the
King
related
the
Story
,
which
was
confirmed
by
them
.
And
afterwards
kneeling
down
,
with
tears
of
Contrition
for
his
Sins
to
God
,
and
thankfulnesse
for
this
Mercy
,
using
many
pious
Ejaculations
,
embraced
all
these
Actors
in
the
former
Tragedy
;
when
the
poor
fellow
also
kist
the
King's
hand
.
These
circumstances
gave
occasion
then
,
that
this
whole
story
was
freshly
revived
,
to
the
common
Satisfaction
of
the
whole
Countrey
,
and
our
Engglish
Courtiers
.
And
in
especial
,
unto
the
very
reverend
Bishop
,
and
nobly
born
,
James
Mountague
,
then
present
,
to
whom
the
King
addressed
himself
in
this
Relation
,
and
from
whose
Mouth
I
received
these
particulars
,
at
his
return
into
England
.
And
thus
much
we
have
by
word
of
mouth
:
somewhat
I
shall
add
out
of
writings
,
for
more
satisfaction
.
This
Treason
was
attempted
the
fourth
of
August
1600.
And
though
there
followed
sundry
Suspitions
and
Examinations
of
several
other
Persons
,
supposed
Abbettors
and
Contrivers
;
yet
it
lay
undiscovered
,
tanquam
è
postliminio
,
until
eight
years
after
,
by
the
circumspection
principally
of
the
Earl
of
Dunbar
,
a
man
of
as
great
wisdome
as
those
times
and
that
Kingdome
could
boast
of
,
upon
the
person
of
one
George
Sprot
,
Notary-publick
of
Ayemouth
in
Scotland
,
from
some
words
which
at
first
he
sparingly
or
unawares
expressed
,
and
also
by
some
papers
which
were
found
in
his
house
;
whereof
being
examin'd
,
with
a
little
ado
he
confessed
,
and
was
condemned
and
executed
at
Edenburgh
the
12th
of
Aug.
1608.
A
Relation
I
conceive
not
common
,
but
in
my
hands
to
be
produced
,
and
written
by
that
learned
Gentleman
William
Hart
,
then
Lord
Justice
of
Scotland
,
and
Principal
in
all
the
Acts
of
Judicature
herein
.
Neither
of
these
Lords
professed
any
skill
in
Politicks
;
yet
neither
wanted
a
strong
judgement
,
which
they
could
make
good
use
of
in
time
and
place
convenient
,
giving
testimonies
in
those
Employments
they
had
,
of
a
strict
secrecy
,
a
great
moderation
,
and
a
happy
compliance
with
opportunity
,
Qualities
exceedingly
well
lodged
in
men
of
Interest
and
Command
,
especially
in
these
two
,
who
neither
too
easily
closed
with
others
resolutions
,
nor
too
obstinately
adhered
to
their
own
.
Observations
on
the
Fall
of
Sir
Tho.
Lake
.
A
Great
Estate
this
Gentleman
had
honestly
got
,
and
a
greater
esteem
,
being
King
James
his
right
hand
,
and
the
Scots
both
hands
;
that
with
which
they
begged
,
and
that
with
which
they
bestowed
;
the
instrument
of
the
meaner
sorts
relief
,
and
the
greaters
bounty
;
untill
that
Malice
and
Revenge
,
two
violent
passions
,
over-ruling
the
Weaker
Sex
,
concerning
his
Wife
and
daughter
,
involved
him
in
their
quarrell
,
the
chief
and
onely
cause
of
his
ruine
.
He
had
by
his
Wife
sons
and
daughters
:
His
eldest
married
unto
the
Lord
Baron
Rosse
(
in
right
of
a
Grandmother
)
the
son
of
Thomas
Earl
of
Exeter
by
a
former
venter
.
And
upon
the
credit
of
Sir
Thomas
Lake
,
he
was
sent
Embassador
Extraordinary
into
Spain
,
in
a
very
gallant
Equipage
,
with
some
hopes
of
his
own
to
continue
Lieger
,
to
save
charges
of
transmitting
any
other
.
In
his
absence
there
fell
out
an
extream
deadly●ewd
●ewd
(
't
is
no
matter
for
what
)
between
the
Lady
Lake
and
the
Countess
of
Exeter
.
A
youthful
Widow
she
had
been
,
and
vertuous
,
and
so
became
Bedfellow
to
this
aged
,
gowty
,
diseased
,
but
noble
Earl
.
And
that
preferment
had
made
her
subject
to
Envy
and
Malice
.
Home
comes
the
Lord
Rosse
from
his
Embassie
,
when
being
fallen
into
some
neglect
of
his
Wife
and
his
kindred
,
I
conceive
upon
refusal
of
an
increase
of
allowance
to
her
settlement
of
Joynture
,
which
was
promised
to
be
compleated
at
his
return
;
not
long
he
stayes
in
England
,
but
away
he
gets
into
Italy
,
turns
a
professed
Roman
Catholick
,
being
cozened
into
that
Religion
by
his
publick
Confident
Gondamore
.
In
this
his
last
absence
(
never
to
return
)
the
Mother
and
Daughter
accuse
the
Countess
of
former
Incontinency
with
the
Lord
Rosse
whilest
he
was
here
,
and
that
therefore
upon
his
Wives
discovery
he
was
fled
from
hence
,
and
from
her
Marriage-Bed
;
with
other
devised
Calumnies
,
by
several
designes
and
contrivements
,
to
have
poysoned
the
Mother
and
Daughter
.
This
quarrel
was
soon
blazon'd
at
Court
,
to
the
King
's
●are
,
who
as
privately
as
could
be
,
singly
examines
each
party
.
The
Countess
with
tears
and
imprecations
professeth
her
Innocency
;
which
to
oppose
,
the
Mother
Lake
and
her
Daughter
counterfeit
her
hand
to
a
whole
sheet
of
Paper
;
wherein
they
make
the
Countess
with
much
contrition
to
acknowledge
her self
guilty
,
crave
pardon
for
attempting
to
poyson
them
,
and
desire
friendship
with
them
all
.
The
King
gets
sight
of
this
,
as
in
favour
to
them
,
and
demands
the
time
,
place
,
and
occasion
when
this
should
be
writ
.
They
tell
him
,
that
all
the
parties
met
in
a
visit
at
Wimbleton
(
the
house
of
the
Lord
of
Exeter
)
where
,
in
dispute
of
their
differences
,
she
confesses
her
guilt
of
attempting
their
poison
.
And
being
desirous
of
absolution
and
friendship
(
being
required
thereto
)
consents
to
set
down
all
Circumstances
therein
,
under
her
own
hand
,
which
presently
she
writ
at
the
Window
in
the
upper
end
of
the
great
Chamber
at
Wimbleton
,
in
presence
of
the
Mother
and
Daughter
,
the
Lord
Rosse
,
and
one
Diego
a
Spaniard
his
confiding
Servant
.
But
now
they
being
gone
,
and
at
Rome
,
the
King
forthwith
sends
Mr.
Dendy
(
one
of
his
Serjeants
at
Armes
,
sometimes
a
Domestick
of
the
Earl
of
Exeters
,
an
honest
and
worthy
Gentleman
)
post
to
Rome
,
who
speedily
returns
with
R●sse
and
Diego's
hand
,
and
other
testimonials
,
confirming
,
That
all
the
said
Accusation
,
and
Confession
,
Suspitions
and
Papers
concerning
the
Countesse
,
were
notorious
false
and
scandalous
;
and
confirms
it
by
receiving
the
Hoast
,
in
assurance
of
her
Honour
,
and
his
Innocency
.
The
King
well
satisfied
,
sends
to
the
Countesses
Friends
and
Trustees
for
her
Joynture
and
Estate
;
who
comparing
many
of
her
letters
with
this
Writing
,
do
confesse
it
counterfeit
.
Then
he
tells
the
Mother
and
Daughter
,
That
this
writing
being
denied
by
her
,
and
their
testimonies
,
being
parties
,
would
not
prevail
with
any
belief
,
but
any
other
Additional
witnesse
would
give
it
sufficient
credit
.
To
which
they
assure
him
,
That
one
Sarah
Swarton
,
their
Chamberesse
,
stood
behind
the
Hanging
,
at
the
entrance
of
the
Room
,
and
heard
the
Countess
read
over
what
she
had
writ
:
and
her
also
they
procure
to
swear
unto
this
before
the
King
.
To
make
further
tryal
,
the
King
in
a
hunting
journey
at
New-part
near
Wimbleton
,
gallops
thither
,
views
the
Room
,
observing
the
great
distance
of
the
Window
from
the
lower
end
of
the
Room
;
and
placing
himself
behind
the
Hanging
,
and
so
other
Lords
in
turn
,
they
could
not
hear
one
speak
loud
from
the
window
.
Then
the
Housekeeper
was
call'd
,
who
protested
those
Hangings
had
constantly
furnisht
that
Room
for
thirty
years
;
which
the
King
observed
to
be
two
foot
short
of
the
ground
,
and
might
discover
the
woman
,
if
hidden
behind
them
.
I
may
present
also
,
the
King
saying
,
Oaths
cannot
confound
my
sight
.
Besides
all
this
,
the
Mother
and
Daughter
counterfeit
another
Writing
,
a
Confession
of
one
Luke
Hutton
,
acknowledging
for
40
pound
annuity
,
the
Countess
hired
him
to
poison
them
;
which
Man
,
with
wonderful
providence
was
found
out
privately
,
and
denies
it
to
the
King
.
And
thus
prepared
,
the
King
sends
for
Sir
Thomas
Lake
,
whom
indeed
he
very
much
valued
;
tells
him
the
danger
to
imbarque
himself
in
this
Quarrel
,
advising
him
to
leave
them
to
the
Law
,
being
now
ready
for
the
Star-Chamber
.
He
humbly
thanked
his
Majesty
,
but
could
not
refuse
to
be
a
Father
and
a
Husband
;
and
so
puts
his
Name
with
theirs
in
a
cr●sse
Bill
,
which
at
the
hearing
,
took
up
five
several
days
,
the
King
sitting
in
Judgement
.
But
the
former
testimonies
,
and
some
private
confessions
of
the
Lady
Rosse
,
and
Sarah
Wharton
,
which
the
King
kept
in
private
,
from
publick
proceedings
,
made
the
Cause
for
some
of
the
days
of
Tryal
,
appear
doubtful
to
the
Court
,
until
the
King's
discovery
,
which
concluded
the
Sentence
,
and
was
pronounced
in
several
Censures
;
Sir
Thomas
Lake
and
his
Lady
fined
ten
thousand
pounds
to
the
King
,
five
thousand
pounds
to
the
Countess
,
fifty
pounds
to
Hutton
,
Sarah
Wharton
to
be
whipt
at
a
Carts
tail
about
the
streets
,
and
to
do
penance
at
St.
Martin's
Church
.
The
Lady
Rosse
,
for
confessing
the
truth
and
plot
in
the
midst
of
the
Tryal
,
was
pardoned
by
the
Major
Voices
from
penal
Sentence
.
The
King
,
I
remember
,
compared
their
Crimes
to
the
first
plot
of
the
first
sin
in
Paradise
,
the
Lady
Lake
to
the
Serpent
,
her
Daughter
unto
Eve
,
and
Sir
Thomas
to
poor
Adam
,
whom
he
thought
in
his
conscience
,
that
his
love
to
his
Wife
had
beguiled
him
.
I
am
sure
,
he
paid
for
all
,
which
,
as
he
told
me
,
cost
him
thirty
thousand
pounds
,
and
the
losse
of
his
Masters
favour
,
and
Offices
of
gain
and
honour
,
but
truly
with
much
pitty
and
compassion
of
the
Court.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Earl
of
Suffolk
.
HIS
Uncle
Northampton
negotiated
his
preferment
,
and
his
Father
Norfolke
deserved
it
,
for
whose
sake
the
eldest
Son
Philip
Earl
of
Arundel
was
made
Lord
Marshal
,
and
this
second
first
Chamberlain
,
and
then
Treasurer
;
wherein
as
the
Earl
of
Middlesex
understood
well
the
priviledges
of
the
City
,
so
my
Lord
kenned
well
the
Revenues
of
the
Crown
.
But
his
fair
Daughter
,
that
gained
him
most
favour
,
did
him
most
harm
;
he
falling
with
his
son
Somerset's
miscarriages
,
when
he
might
have
stood
without
his
Relation
:
being
as
plain
as
his
brother
Henry
was
subtle
;
as
obliging
,
as
he
was
insinuating
;
as
knowing
,
as
he
was
cunning
;
the
one
conversing
with
Books
,
the
other
with
Men.
A
Gentleman
from
whom
I
requested
his
Character
,
returns
me
no
more
but
this
:
He
was
a
man
never
endued
with
much
patience
,
and
one
that
much
retarded
the
progresse
of
his
fortune
,
by
often
speaking
publickly
with
too
much
liberty
:
Otherwise
very
true
to
the
Maximes
of
his
Age.
1.
Linking
himself
to
the
Scots

2.

Rents

He
was
also
Chancellor
of
Cambridge
,
loving
and
beloved
of
the
University
.
When
at
his
first
coming
to
Cambridge
,
Mr.
Francis
Nethersole
Oratour
of
the
University
,
made
a
Latine
Speech
unto
him
;
the
Lord
returned
,
Though
I
understand
not
Latine
,
I
know
the
sense
of
your
Oration
is
to
tell
me
that
I
am
welcome
to
you
;
which
I
believe
verily
:
I
thank
you
for
it
heartily
,
and
will
serve
you
faithfully
in
any
thing
within
my
power
.
Doctor
Harsenet
the
Vice-Chancellor
laying
hold
on
the
handle
of
so
fair
a
Proffer
,
requested
him
to
be
pleased
to
entertain
the
King
at
Cambridge
;
a
favour
which
the
University
could
never
compasse
from
their
former
great
and
wealthy
Chancellours
;
I
will
do
it
(
saith
the
Lord
)
in
the
best
manner
I
may
,
and
with
the
speediest
conveniency
.
Nor
was
he
worse
than
his
word
,
giving
his
Majesty
such
a
Treatment
in
the
University
,
as
cost
him
five
thousand
pounds
and
upwards
.
Hence
it
was
,
that
after
his
death
,
Thomas
his
second
son
Earl
of
Bark
shire
(
not
suing
for
it
,
nor
knowing
of
it
)
was
chosen
to
succeed
him
,
losing
the
place
(
as
some
suspected
)
not
for
lack
of
Voices
,
but
fair
counting
them
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Rob.
Cary.
HE
was
born
an
ingenious
man
,
of
good
parts
and
breeding
;
but
of
so
uncourtly
a
temper
,
that
in
all
likelihood
we
had
not
heard
of
him
,
had
he
not
had
the
luck
to
have
been
the
first
Messenger
let
out
of
the
Court
by
the
favour
of
his
Father
the
Lord
Chamberlain
,
to
bring
King
James
news
that
Queen
Elizabeth
was
dead
;
when
the
Scots
expectation
was
so
tyred
,
that
they
thought
Queen
Eliz.
would
never
dye
,
as
long
as
there
was
an
old
woman
that
could
either
wear
good
cloaths
,
or
eat
good
meat
in
England
.
Upon
which
good
account
he
is
a
Bed-chamber-man
to
King
James
,
and
a
Tutor
to
Prince
Charles
;
though
he
had
made
better
use
of
his
Talent
as
a
Soldier
,
than
as
a
Courtier
,
having
too
much
of
the
Candor
of
that
Family
;
that
as
the
Historian
observed
,
spake
of
things
always
as
they
deserved
:
And
though
he
had
wit
enough
,
yet
he
had
not
the
judgement
or
way
to
make
those
stand
in
awe
of
him
,
who
were
most
obliged
to
him
.
Observations
on
the
Lives
of
Sir
Robert
Naunton
,
and
Sir
Francis
Nethersole
.
SIr
Robert
Naunton
is
the
Author
of
one
Book
of
Observations
upon
the
States-men
of
Qu:
Eliz.
times
,
&
must
be
the
subject
of
another
of
King
James
his
:
He
noted
then
in
his
youth
,
what
he
was
to
practice
afterwards
in
his
more
reduced
years
.
His
University-Studies
at
Trinity-Colledge
,
whereof
he
was
Commoner
;
and
at
Trinity-Hall
,
whereof
he
was
Fellow
;
His
Speeches
both
while
Proctor
and
Orator
of
Cambridge
,
discovered
him
more
inclined
to
publick
Accomplishments
,
than
private
Studies
:
He
improved
the
opportunity
of
the
speech
he
was
to
make
before
K.
James
at
Hinchinbrook
so
well
,
that
as
His
Majesty
was
highly
affected
with
his
Latine
and
Learning
,
so
he
exactly
observed
his
prudence
and
serviceablenesse
;
whereupon
he
came
to
Court
as
Sir
Thomas
Overburies
Assistant
first
,
and
then
as
Sir
George
Villiers
friend
,
who
promoted
him
to
be
Secretary
of
State
,
Jan.
8.
1617.
as
his
Majesty
did
a
while
after
to
be
Mr.
of
the
Wards
.
The
first
place
whereof
he
discharged
with
as
much
ability
and
dexterity
,
as
he
did
the
second
with
integrity
;
onely
he
was
observed
close-handed
,
whether
out
of
his
natural
inclination
to
Parsimony
,
or
some
fixed
design
to
regulate
and
reduce
the
great
expences
of
this
Nation
;
or
from
some
hidden
and
refined
politick
consideration
,
that
that
might
be
done
by
a
wary
observation
of
men's
integrity
and
inclination
,
which
was
usually
done
with
money
:
and
indeed
,
as
a
great
man
observeth
,
to
procure
good
information
of
particulars
touching
persons
,
their
natures
,
their
desires
and
ends
,
their
customes
and
fashions
,
their
helps
and
advantages
,
and
whereby
they
chiefly
stand
:
So
again
,
their
weaknesses
and
disadvantages
,
and
where
they
lye
most
open
and
obnoxious
;
their
friends
,
factions
,
and
dependencies
:
and
again
,
their
opposites
,
envyers
,
and
Competitors
;
their
moods
and
times
,
their
principles
,
rules
,
observations
,
&c.
their
actions
how
conducted
,
how
favoured
,
how
opposed
,
&c.
is
the
onely
way
of
successe
in
businesse
,
and
of
prevailing
in
fortune
,
especially
if
attended
with
this
Gentleman
's
two
master-Qualities
;
1.
Reservedness
,
the
security
;
2.
Slowness
of
belief
,
the
sinew
of
wisdome
.
Finding
his
temper
agreeable
with
the
University
,
he
allowed
himself
more
scope
and
liberty
;
but
observing
his
particular
constitution
not
suitable
to
the
general
state
of
his
times
,
the
whole
course
of
his
life
was
more
close
,
retyred
,
and
reserved
,
opening
it self
but
with
an
half-light
,
and
a
full
advantage
:
and
what
he
was
to
others
,
he
believed
all
others
were
to
him
,
as
hardly
trusting
them
,
as
he
was
understood
himself
,
unlesse
surprized
in
his
countenance
by
the
motions
of
it
,
or
in
his
actions
by
the
suddennesse
of
them
,
or
in
his
temper
by
his
passion
,
but
as
far
as
can
be
guessed
,
from
the
Letters
that
passed
between
them
about
the
Palatinate
.
He
was
of
the
same
make
in
the
State
,
as
Arch-Bishop
Abbot
was
in
the
Church
,
zealous
and
sullen
;
if
others
had
a
better
wit
than
he
in
abusing
him
,
he
had
a
better
memory
than
they
to
think
of
it
;
for
one
Mr.
Wiemark
a
wealthy
man
,
a
great
Novilant
,
and
constant
Paul's
walker
,
hearing
the
news
that
day
of
the
beheading
of
Sir
Walter
Rawleigh
;
His
head
(
said
he
)
would
do
well
upon
the
shoulders
of
Sir
Robert
Naunton
Secretary
of
State
.
These
words
were
complained
of
,
and
Wiemark
summoned
to
the
Privy-Council
,
where
he
pleaded
for
himself
,
that
he
intended
no
disrespect
to
Mr.
Secretary
,
whose
known
worth
was
above
all
detraction
;
onely
he
spake
in
reference
to
an
old
proverb
,
Two
heads
are
better
than
one
;
and
for
the
present
he
was
dismissed
.
Not
long
after
,
when
rich
men
were
called
on
for
a
contribution
to
St.
Pauls
.
Wiemark
at
Council-Table
subscribed
a
hundred
pounds
;
but
Mr.
Secretary
told
him
,
Two
hundred
were
better
than
one
;
which
betwixt
fear
and
charity
Wiemark
was
fain
to
subscribe
.
Neither
was
he
sooner
up
,
than
he
gave
his
Colleague
and
Successor
in
the
Orators
place
,
Sir
Francis
Nethersole
,
his
hand
to
advance
him
too
;
whom
after
his
elegant
Speech
on
Prince
Henry
,
we
finde
a
prudent
Agent
with
the
Princes
of
the
Union
,
and
a
faithful
Secretary
to
the
Queen
of
Bohemia
,
for
whom
he
did
much
,
and
suffered
more
.
Yet
was
he
lately
alive
,
and
as
charitable
in
his
elder
yeares
,
as
ever
he
was
noble
in
his
younger
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Arthur
Ingram
.
SIr
Arthur
had
wit
in
Italy
,
where
he
was
a
Factor
,
and
wealth
in
London
,
where
he
was
a
Merchant
,
to
be
first
a
Customer
,
and
then
a
Cofferer
to
that
King
,
who
had
this
happinesse
,
that
he
understood
so
much
of
all
his
affairs
,
as
to
make
a
judgement
of
what
persons
might
be
most
serviceable
to
him
in
each
of
them
.
So
pragmatical
a
person
as
this
Gentleman
,
was
necessary
among
the
Custome-house-men
,
who
were
about
to
engrosse
all
the
wealth
of
the
Kingdome
;
and
as
useful
among
the
Green-cloath-men
,
who
shared
amongst
themselves
vast
Concealments
.
The
activity
of
his
head
had
undone
him
,
had
not
the
odium
of
it
been
allayed
by
the
discretion
of
his
tongue
;
whatever
he
spake
,
being
naturally
accompanied
with
such
a
kinde
of
modesty
and
affability
as
gained
the
affection
,
and
attracted
the
respect
of
all
that
conversed
with
him
;
onely
some
wary
men
were
jealous
of
that
watchful
and
serene
habit
he
had
attained
to
in
every
conference
and
action
,
as
well
to
observe
as
to
act
:
though
it
was
more
than
they
needed
,
he
having
not
that
good
stay
and
hold
of
himself
,
his
much
observing
tempting
him
to
much
medling
;
though
never
more
need
of
it
than
at
that
time
,
when
ninety
and
odd
thousand
pounds
were
spent
upon
the
Palsgrave
;
to
reimburse
which
money
,
he
set
up
the
improvement
of
Coyn
,
the
Farthings
,
the
borrowing
of
money
of
the
Customers
,
and
as
many
other
Projects
to
get
money
,
as
others
had
to
spend
it
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Henry
Yelverton
.
THis
Gentleman's
relation
to
Sir
Thomas
Overbury
brought
him
to
the
Earl
of
Somerset's
service
,
and
my
Lord
of
Somerset's
service
recommended
him
to
the
Kings
favour
;
whereby
he
was
at
first
his
Counsel
learned
,
and
afterwards
his
Attorney-General
;
in
which
last
place
his
duty
enjoyned
him
the
impeachment
of
that
Earl
,
but
his
gratitude
forbad
him
:
Loth
he
was
to
refuse
his
Masters
command
,
more
loth
to
have
a
hand
in
his
Patrons
ruine
:
his
civility
outweighed
his
prudence
,
&
his
obligations
his
safety
:
for
refusing
to
implead
his
Mr.
as
a
great
Delinquent
at
the
Bar
,
he
was
sent
by
the
Council
as
a
greater
to
the
Tower
,
where
he
continued
until
(
as
some
say
)
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
came
to
him
at
mid-night
;
and
hearing
from
him
such
mysteries
of
State
as
nearly
concerned
his
own
safety

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Bishop
Mountague
.
JAmes
Mountague
son
to
Sir
Edward
Mountague
,
was
born
at
Boughton
in
Northamptonshire
,
bred
in
Christs-Colledge
in
Cambridge
:
He
was
afterwards
Master
,
or
rather
nursing
Father
to
Sidney-Colledge
;
For
he
found
it
in
bonds
to
pay
twenty
Marks
per
annum
to
Trinity-Colledge
for
the
ground
whereon
it
is
built
,
and
left
it
free
,
assigning
it
a
rent
for
the
discharge
thereof
.
When
the
Kings
Ditch
in
Cambridge
made
to
defend
it
by
its
strength
,
did
in
his
time
offend
it
with
its
stench
,
he
expended
a
hundred
Marks
to
bring
running-water
into
it
,
to
the
great
conveniency
of
the
University
.
He
was
afterwards
Bishop
first
of
Bath
and
Wells
,
then
of
Winchester
,
being
highly
in
favour
with
King
James
,
who
did
ken
a
man
of
merit
,
as
well
as
any
Prince
in
Christendome
.
He
translated
the
Works
of
King
James
into
Latine
,
and
improved
his
greatnesse
to
do
good
Offices
therewith
.
He
dyed

and

buried

his

Monument

mean
a
goodly
Tomb
in
the
Church
of
Bath
,
which
oweth
its
well-being
and
beauty
to
his
Munificence
.
King
James
cast
his
eye
upon
him
at
Hinchingbrook
(
where
the
University
of
Cambridge
met
him
as
he
came
from
Scotland
)
because
he
observed
him
one
of
those
he
knew
he
must
oblige
,
I
mean
a
Gentleman
:
He
set
his
heart
upon
him
at
Court
,
because
he
found
him
one
he
intended
to
employ
,
I
mean
a
Scholar
.
He
was
the
onely
man
of
all
the
Doctors
he
conversed
with
there
,
and
the
onely
man
of
all
the
Bishops
he
consulted
with
at
White-Hall
.
His
nature
inclined
him
to
magnificence
,
and
his
vertue
to
Thrift
;
sparing
from
lesser
vanities
,
what
he
might
expend
upon
greater
enterprizes
;
never
sparing
when
just
designs
called
for
great
charge
.
Grateful
he
was
to
his
followers
,
though
not
prodigal
:
Good
men
choose
rather
to
be
loved
for
their
benefits
to
the
Community
,
than
those
to
private
persons
:
His
understanding
was
as
large
as
his
heart
was
honest
,
comprehensive
both
of
men
and
things
;
even
those
things
that
were
either
below
or
besides
his
care
,
going
not
besides
his
observation
.
He
anticipated
his
age
with
his
worth
,
and
died
at
fourscore
in
merit
,
when
not
fifty
in
yeares
;
filling
his
time
not
with
dayes
but
with
vertues
so
early
,
as
seemed
rather
innate
than
acquired
:
For
which
he
was
so
popular
in
the
Countrey
,
as
well
as
favoured
at
Court
;
that
a
corpulent
Officer
of
Bath-Church
being
appointed
on
the
day
of
his
Burial
to
keep
the
doors
,
entred
on
his
employment
in
the
morning
,
but
was
buried
himself
before
night
,
and
before
the
Bishop's
body
was
put
in
the
ground
;
because
being
bruised
to
death
by
the
pressing
in
of
people
,
his
Corps
requsred
speedy
interment
.
—
In
those
days
the
Plebs
concurred
with
with
the
King
in
their
affections
to
,
because
they
submitted
to
him
in
their
choice
of
persons
;
for
then
wisdome
was
thought
to
dwell
in
the
Head
,
and
good
Folks
thought
their
Soveraign
wiser
than
themselves

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Edm.
Anderson
.
SIr
Edmund
Anderson
was
born
a
younger
brother
of
a
Gentile
Extract
at
Flixborough
in
Lincolnshire
,
and
bred
in
the
inner
Temple
.
I
have
been
informed
that
his
Father
left
him
a
thousand
pounds
for
his
portion
,
which
this
our
Sir
Edmund
multiplyed
into
many
,
by
his
great
proficiency
in
the
Common-Law
,
being
made
the
●4th
of
Queen
Elizabeth
Chief-Justice
of
the
Common-Pleas
.
When
Secretary
Davison
was
sentenced
in
the
Star-Chamber
for

businesse
of
the
Queen
of
Scots
,
Judge
Anderson
said

justum
,

;
and
so
acquitting
him
of
all
malice
,
censured
him
with
the
rest
of
his
indiscretion
.
When
H.
Cuffe
was
arraigned
about
the
rising
of
the
Earl
of
Essex

when
Sir
Edward
Coke
the

Solicitor
opposed
him
,
and
the
other
answered
Syllogistically
,
our
Anderson
(
sitting
there
as
a
Judge
of
Law
,
not
Logick
)
checked
both
Pleader
and
Prisoner
,
ob
stolidos
syllogismos
,
for
their
foolish
Syllogismes
,
appointing
the
former
to
presse

Idem
,
Anno
1600.
He
died
in
the
third
of
King
James
,
leaving
great
Estates
to
several
sons
.
He
was
a
pure
Legist
,
that
had
little
skill
in
the
affairs
of
the
world
,
always
alledging
a
decisive
Case

without
any

to
the
decency
,
or

to
be
had
towards
a
State

Government

and
without
that
account

a
moderate
interpretation
some
circumstances
of
things
require
,
being
so
much
the
lesse
useful
as
he
was
incompliant

and
one
whom
none
addressed

,
because
,
as
one
observes
of
Cardinal
Corrado
;
Such
think
they
do
in
some
manner
sacrifice
themselves
,
when
they
do
but
in
the
least
act
against
their
own

to
do
a

a
little
pleasure

There
are
a
kinde
of
honest
men
of
good
conscience
,
whose
capacities
being
narrow
,
entertain
private
resolutions
,
inconsistent
with
publick
interest
;
who
may
for
me
passe
for
good
men

shall
never

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Thomas
Bodley
,
by
himself
.
1.
I
Was
born
at
Exeter
in
Devonshire
,
March
2.
1544.
descended
both
by
Father
and
Mother
of
worshipful
Parents
.
My
Father
,
in
the
time
of
Queen
Mary
,
being
noted
and
known
to
be
an
enemy
to
Popery
,
was
so
cruelly
threatned
,
and
so
narrowly
observed
,
by
those
that
maliced
his
Religion
,
that
for
the
safeguard
of
himself
and
my
Mother
,
who
was
wholly
affected
as
my
Father
,
he
knew
no
way
so
secure
as
to
flye
into
Germany
.
2.
My
Father
fixed
his
abode
in
the
City
of
Geneva
;
where
,
as
far
as
I
remember
,
the
English
Church
consisted
of
some
hundred
persons
.
I
was
at
that
time
of
twelve
years
of
age
,
but
through
my
Fathers
cost
and
care
,
sufficiently
instructed
to
become
an
Auditor
of
Chevallerius
in
Hebrew
,
of
Beroaldus
in
Greek
,
of
Calvin
and
Beza
in
Divinity
,
and
of
some
other
Professors
in
that
University
(
which
was
newly
then
erected
)
besides
my
domestick
Teachers
in
the
house
of
Philibertus
Saracenus
,
a
famous
Physitian
in
that
City
,
with
whom
I
was
boarded
,
where
Robertus
Constantinus
,
that
made
the
Greek
Lexicon
,
read
Homer
to
me
.
3.
In
the
first
of
Queen
Elizabeth
,
my
Father
returned
,
and
setled
his
dwelling
in
the
City
of
London
.
It
was
not
long
after
,
that
I
was
sent
away
from
thence
to
the
University
of
Oxford
,
recommended
to
the
teaching
and
tuition
of
Doctor
Humphrey
.
In
the
year
1563
,
I
took
the
degree
of
Batchellor
of
Arts
;
within
which
year
I
was
chosen
Probationer
of
Merton
Colledge
,
and
the
next
year
ensuing
admitted
Fellow
.
Afterwards
,
in
the
year
1565
,
by
special
perswasion
of
some
of
my
Fellows
,
and
for
my
private
exercise
,
I
undertook
the
publick
reading
of
a
Greek
Lecture
in
the
same
Colledge-Hall
,
without
requiring
or
expecting
any
stipend
for
it
:
Neverthelesse
it
pleased
the
Fellowship
of
their
own
accord
to
allow
me
soon
after
four
marks
by
the
year
,
and
ever
since
to
continue
the
Lecture
to
that
Colledge
.
4.
In
the
year
1566
,
I
proceeded
Master
of
Arts
,
and
read
for
that
year
in
the
School-streets
natural
Philosophy
.
After
which
time
,
within
lesse
than
three
years
space
,
I
was
won
by
intreaty
of
my
best
affected
friends
to
stand
for
the
Proctorship
,
to
which
I
and
my
Colleague
were
quietly
elected
in
the
year
1569
,
without
any
competition
or
counter-suit
of
any
other
.
After
this
for
a
long
time
,
I
supplied
the
Office
of
University-Oratour
,
and
bestowed
my
time
in
the
study
of
sundry
faculties
,
without
any
inclination
to
professe
any
one
above
the
rest
;
insomuch
as
at
last
I
waxed
desirous
to
travel
beyond
the
Seas
,
for
attaining
to
the
knowledg
of
some
special
modern
Tongues
,
and
for
the
encrease
of
my
experience
in
the
managing
of
affairs
;
being
wholly
then
addicted
to
employ
my self
and
all
my
cares
in
the
publick
service
of
the
State
.
5.
After
my
return
,
in
the
year
1585
,
I
was
employed
by
the
Queen
to
the
King
of
Denmark
,
and
to
the
German
Princes
:
Next
,
to
Henry
the
third
,
King
of
France
:
After
this
,
in
88
,
for
the
better
conduct
of
her
Highnesse
Affairs
in
the
Provinces
United
,
I
was
thought
a
fit
person
to
reside
in
those
parts
,
and
was
sent
thereupon
to
the
Hague
in
Holland
;
where
,
according
to
the
Contract
that
had
formerly
pass'd
between
her
Highnesse
and
the
States
,
I
was
admitted
for
one
of
their
Council
of
Estate
,
taking
place
in
their
Assemblies
next
to
Count
Maurice
,
and
yielding
my
suff●age
in
all
that
was
proposed
.
During
all
that
time
,
what
approbation
was
given
of
my
painful
endeavours
by
the
Queen
,
by
the
Lords
in
England
,
by
the
States
of
the
Countrey
there
,
and
by
all
the
English
Soldiery
,
I
refer
it
to
be
notified
by
some
others
Relation
.
6.
I
received
from
her
Majesty
many
comfortable
Letters
of
her
gracious
acceptance
of
my
diligence
and
care
:
and
among
the
Lords
of
the
Council
had
no
man
more
to
friend
,
then
was
the
Lord
Treasurer
Burleigh
.
For
when
occasion
had
been
offered
of
declaring
his
conceit
as
touching
my
service
,
he
would
always
tell
the
Queen
(
which
I
received
from
her self
and
some
other
Ear-witnesses
)
that
there
was
not
any
man
in
England
so
meet
as
my self
to
undergo
the
Office
of
the
Secretary
.
And
sithence
his
son
,
the
present
Lord
Treasurer
,
hath
signified
unto
me
in
private
conference
,
that
when
his
Father
first
intended
to
advance
him
to
that
place
,
his
purpose
was
withal
to
make
me
his
Colleague
:
But
that
the
daily
provocations
of
the
Earl
of
Essex
were
so
bitter
and
sharp
against
him
,
and
his
comparisons
so
odious
when
he
put
us
in
a
balance
,
as
he
thought
thereupon
he
had
very
great
reason
to
use
his
best
means
,
to
put
any
man
out
of
hope
of
raising
his
fortune
,
whom
the
Earl
with
such
violence
,
to
his
extream
prejudice
,
had
endeavoured
to
dignifie
.
7.
When
I
had
well
considered
,
how
ill
it
did
concur
with
my
natural
disposition
,
to
become
or
to
be
counted
either
a
stickler
or
partaker
in
any
publick
faction
;
how
well
I
was
able
,
by
Gods
good
blessing
,
to
live
of
my self
,
if
I
could
be
contented
with
a
competent
livelihood
;
I
resolved
thereupon
to
possess
my
soul
in
peace
all
the
residue
of
my
days
,
to
take
my
farewel
of
State-employments
,
and
so
to
retire
me
from
the
Court.
8.
Now
although
after
this
,
by
her
Majesties
direction
,
I
was
often
called
to
the
Court
,
by
the
now
Lord
Treasurer
,
then
Secretary
,
and
required
by
him
,
and
also
divers
times
since
,
by
order
from
the
King
,
to
serve
as
Ambassador
in
France
,
and
to
negotiate
in
other
very
honourable
employments
,
yet
I
would
not
be
removed
from
my
former
final
resolution
;
but
have
continued
at
home
my
retired
course
of
life
,
which
is
now
methinks
to
me
as
the
greatest
preferment
the
State
can
afford
.
9.
This
I
must
confesse
of
my self
,
that
though
I
did
never
repent
me
yet
of
my
often
refusals
of
honourable
offers
,
in
respect
of
enriching
my
private
Estate
;
yet
somewhat
more
of
late
I
have
blamed
my self
and
my
nicety
that
way
,
for
the
love
that
I
bear
to
my
Reverend
Mother
the
University
of
Oxford
,
and
to
the
advancement
of
her
good
by
such
kinde
of
means
as
I
have
since
undertaken
.
10.
Having
examined
what
course
I
might
take
,
I
concluded
at
the
last
to
set
up
my
staffe
at
the
Library
door
;
being
throughly
perswaded
,
that
in
my
solitude
and
surcease
from
the
Common-wealth
affairs
,
I
could
not
busie
my self
to
better
purpose
then
by
reducing
that
place
(
which
then
in
every
part
lay
ruined
and
waste
)
to
the
publick
use
of
Students
.
11.
For
the
effecting
whereof
,
I
found
my self
furnished
in
a
competent
proportion
,
of
such
four
kinds
of
aids
,
as
unlesse
I
had
them
all
,
there
was
no
hope
of
good
successe
.
For
without
some
kinde
of
knowledge
,
as
well
in
the
learned
modern
Tongues
,
as
in
sundry
other
sorts
of
Scholastical
literature
;
without
some
purse-ability
to
go
through
with
the
charge
;
without
very
great
store
of
honourable
friends
to
further
the
design
,
and
without
special
good
leisure
to
follow
such
a
work
,
it
could
but
have
proved
a
vain
attempt
,
and
inconsiderate
.
12.
But
how
well
I
have
sped
in
all
my
endeavours
,
and
how
full
provision
I
have
made
for
the
benefit
and
ease
of
all
frequenters
of
the
Library
;
that
which
I
have
already
performed
in
fight
;
That
besides
,
which
I
have
given
for
the
maintenance
of
it
;
and
that
which
hereafter
I
purpose
to
add
,
by
way
of
enlargement
to
that
place
(
for
the
project
is
cast
,
and
whether
I
live
or
die
,
it
shall
be
,
God
willing
,
put
in
full
execution
)
will
testifie
so
truly
and
abundantly
for
me
,
as
I
need
not
to
be
the
publisher
of
the
dignity
and
worth
of
mine
own
institution

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Henry
Vere
Earl
of
Oxford
.
HEnry
Vere
was
son
of
Edward
Vere
,
the
seventeenth
Earl
of
Oxford
,
and
Anne
Trentham
his
Lady
;
whose
principal
habitation
(
the
rest
of
his
patrimony
being
then
wasted
)
was
at
Heningham-Castle
in
Essex
:
A
vigorous
Gentleman
,
full
of
courage
and
resolution
,
and
the
last
Lord
Chamberlain
of
England
of
this
Family
.
His
sturdy
na●ure
would
not
bow
to
Court-compliants
,
who
would
maintain
what
he
spake
,
speak
what
he
thought
,
think
what
he
apprehended
true
and
just
,
though
sometimes
dangerous
,
and
distastful
.
Once
he
came
into
Court
with
a
great
milk-white
Feather
about
his
hat
,
which
then
was
somewhat
unusual
,
save
that
a
person
of
his
merit
might
make
a
fashion
.
The
Reader
may
ghess
the
Lord
who
said
to
him
in
some
jeer
,
My
Lord
,
you
wear
a
very
fair
Feather
:
It
's
true
(
said
the
Earl
)
and
if
you
mark
it
,
there
is
ne're
a
Taint
in
it
.
Indeed
his
Family
was
ever
loyal
unto
the
Crown
,
deserving
their
Motto
,
Vero
nil
Verius
.
Going
over
one
of
the
four
English
Colonels
into
the
Low-Countries
,
and
endeavouring
to
raise
the
siege
of
Breda
,
he
so
over-heated
himself
with
Marching
,
Fighting
and
vexing
(
the
Designe
not
succeeding
)
that
he
dyed
after
,
Anno
Dom.
16
......
He
married
Diana
,
one
of
the
Co-heirs
of
William
Earl
of
Exeter
,
(
afterwards
to
Edward
Earl
of
Elgin
)
by
whom
he
left
no
Issue
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Francis
Vere
.
SIr
Francis
Vere
(
Governour
of
Bril
and
Portsmouth
)
was
of
the
ancient
,
and
of
the
most
noble
extract
of
the
Earls
of
Oxford
;
and
it
may
be
a
question
,
whether
the
Nobility
of
his
house
,
or
the
honour
of
his
Achievements
might
most
commend
him
,
who
brought
as
much
glory
to
his
name
,
as
he
received
honour
from
it
:
He
was
amongst
his
Queens
Sword-men
inferiour
to
none
,
but
superiour
to
many
:
He
lived
oftner
in
the
Camp
,
than
Court
:
but
when
his
pleasure
drew
him
thither
,
no
man
had
more
of
the
Queens
favour
,
and
none
lesse
envied
.
He
was
a
Soldier
of
great
worth
,
and
commanded
thirty
years
in
the
service
of
the
States
,
and
twenty
years
over
the
English
in
Chief
as
the
Queens
Generall
;
and
he
that
had
seen
the
Battel
of
Newport
,
might
there
best
have
taken
him
and
his
noble
Brother
the
Lord
of
Tilbury
to
the
life
.
They
report
that
the
Qu:
as
she
loved
Martial
men
,
would
court
this
Gentleman
as
soon
as
he
appeared
in
her
presence
;
for
he
seldome
troubled
it
with
the
noyse
and
alarms
of
supplication
;
his
way
was
another
sort
of
undermining
,
as
resolved
in
the
Court
as
in
the
Camp
,
as
well
to
justifie
his
[

*
The
E●
of
Essex
Patron
,
as
to
serve
her
Majesty
,
telling
her
the
plain
truth
more
sincerely
than
any
man
;
choosing
(
as
he
said
)
rather
to
fall
by
the
malice
of
his
enemies
,
than
be
guilty
of
Ingratitude
to
his
friends
:
Yea
,
and
when
he
sued
for
the
government
of
Portsmouth
,
and
some
Grandees
a
objected
,
that
that
place
was
always
bestowed
on
The
Lo●
Nortis
.
Noblemen
,
he
answered
;
There
were
none
ennobled
but
by
their
Princes
favour
,
and
the
same
way
be
took
.

.
SIr
Francis
and
Sir
Horace
Vere
,
sons
of
Jeffery
Vere
Esquire
,
who
was
son
of
John
Vere
,
the
fifteenth
Earl
of
Oxford
;
We
will
first
consider
severally
,
and
then
compare
joyntly
,
to
see
how
their
Actions
and
Arms
performed
,
what
their
birth
and
bloud
promised
.
SIr
Fran.
was
of
a
fiery
spirit
&
rigid
nature
,
undaunted
in
all
danger
,
not
overvaluing
the
price
of
mens
lives
to
purchase
a
victory
therewith
.
He
served
on
the
Scene
of
all
Christendome
where
War
was
acted
.
One
Master-piece
of
his
valour
was
at
the
Battel
of
Newport
,
when
his
ragged
Regiment
(
so
were
the
English-men
called
from
their
ragged
Cloathes
)
helped
to
make
all
whole
,
or
else
all
had
been
lost
.
|
SIr
Horace
had
more
meekness
,
&
as
much
valour
as
his
brother
;
so
pious
,
that
he
first
made
peace
with
God
,
before
he
went
to
war
with
man
.
One
of
an
excellent
temper
;
it
being
true
of
him
what
is
said
of
the
Caspian
Sea
,
that
it
doth
never
ebb
nor
flow
;
observing
a
constant
tenor
;
neither
elated
nor
depressed
with
success
.
Had
one
seen
him
returning
from
a
victory
,
he
would
by
his
silence
have
suspected
that
he
had
lost
the
day
;
and
had
he
beheld
him
in
a
retreat
,
he
would
have
collected
him
a
Conqueror
,
by
the
cheerfulness
of
his
spirit
.
He
was
the
first
Baron
of
K.
Charls
his
Creation
.
Some
years
after
,
coming
to
Court
,
he
fell
suddenly
sick
and
speechless
,
so
that
he
died
afore
night
,
A.
Dom.
163
...
No
doubt
he
was
well
prepared
for
death
,
seeing
such
his
vigilancy
,
that
never
any
enemy
surprised
him
in
his
Quarters
.

Another
was
,
when
for
three
years
he
defended
Ostend
against
a
strong
and
numerous
Army
,
surrendring
it
at
last
a
bare
Skeleton
to
the
King
of
Spain
,
who
paid
more
years
purchase
for
it
,
than
probably
the
World
would
endure
.
He
dyed
in
the
beginning
of
the
Reign
of
K.
James
,
about
the
year
of
our
Lord
,

Now
to
compare
them
together
(
such
their
Eminency
,
that
they
would
hardly
be
parallel'd
by
any
but
themselves
:
)
Sir
Francis
was
the
elder
Brother
,
Sir
Horace
lived
to
be
the
elder
man
.
Sir
Francis
was
more
feared
,
Sir
Horace
more
loved
by
the
Soldiery
:
The
former
in
Martial
Discipline
was
oftentimes
Rigidus
ad
ruinam
,
the
latter
seldome
exceeded
ad
terrorem
.
Sir
Francis
left
none
,
Sir
Horace
no
Male-Issue
,
whose
four
Co-Heirs
are
since
Matched
into
honourable
Families
.
Both
lived
in
War
,
much
honoured
;
dyed
in
peace
,
much
lamented
.
What
is
a
great
question
among
all
Martial
men
,
was
so
between
these
Brethren
;
whether
to
repair
a
reputation
ruined
by
some
infamous
disgrace
,
and
the
honour
abused
by
some
notorious
losse
,
the
General
ought
to
oppose
the
fortune
that
oppresseth
him
,
and
hazard
what
remains
,
to
recover
what
is
lost
?
Sir
Francis
was
of
opinion
,
That
though
it
's
not
the
interest
of
a
supream
Prince
,
yet
it
is
the
concern
of
a
subordinate
Commander
to
support
his
credit
at
the
rate
of
his
Army
.
But
Sir
Horace
was
never
for
sacrificing
the
whole
for
the
advancing
of
any
part
,
or
of
many
,
for
the
humouring
of
one
;
but
chose
rather
to
break
the
impetuosity
of
his
misfortunes
by
yielding
to
them
,
and
rather
recover
both
himself
and
his
successe
by
a
prudent
retreat
,
than
lose
both
in
an
obstinate
misadventure
.
—
It
being
far
more
eligible
to
suffer
in
the
imaginary
interest
of
repute
,
than
that
real
one
of
strength
;
though
appearances
are
yet
so
useful
,
that
dexterously
to
manage
the
reputation
of
Affairs
,
is
to
imprint
in
men
a
great
opinion
of
vertue
and
fortune
,
to
enhance
successes
,
and
raise
that
respect
and
confidence
that
seldome
fa
〈…〉
to
the
share
of
reservation
and
fear
.
But
apart
from
that
too
much
caution
that
betrayeth
,
and
over-much
rashnesse
that
hazardeth
our
fortunes
,
both
these
Heroes
were
very
choice
in
the
places
of
their
Engagements
;
for
when
all
the
Generals
before
the
Battel
of
Newport
were
for
quitting
the
upper
Downs
,
Sir
Francis
Vere
well
knowing
how
much
it
imported
the
businesse
of
the
day
to
hold
a
place
of
such
advantage
,
perswaded
Count
Maurice
rather
to
expect
the
Enemy
in
that
ground
,
than
attaque
him
in
a
worse
;
wherein
as
his
opinion
prevailed
,
so
all
that
were
present
,
were
Eye-witnesses
both
of
the
truth
of
his
conjecture
,
and
the
soundnesse
of
his
judgement
:
For
the
Enemy
,
as
he
said
,
did
not
long
gaze
upon
them
;
but
charging
up
the
hills
,
were
beaten
back
so
effectually
,
that
our
men
had
the
execution
of
them
for
half
a
mile
;
which
was
no
small
advantage
to
the
fortune
of
that
day
.
Neither
were
they
lesse
observant
of
their
time
,
that
Mother
of
Action
,
than
their
place
;
neither
hasty
nor
slow
to
manage
an
opportunity
that
is
neither
often
nor
long
the
same
;
—
or
of
the
order
of
their
Army
than
both
,
whereof
each
part
assisted
the
other
at
Newport
and
elsewhere
so
readily
,
that
their
shouts
and
charges
equally
amazed
their
Friends
and
Enemies
.
The
Reliefs
of
Rhingbergh
were
actions
of
great
resolution
,
ready
dispatch
,
a
watchful
circumspection
,
and
good
pursuit
:
The
succour
of
Lithenhooven
was
a
performance
of
great
and
mature
deliberation
;
the
surprize
of
Zutphen
by
young
Soldiers
in
womens
apparel
,
was
a
piece
of
service
of
many
particular
stratagems
;
and
the
Siege
of
Daventer
of
as
much
sage
advice
.
—
All
instances
of
the
wonders
that
courage
can
do
when
wise
,
valour
when
sober
,
a
passion
when
rational
,
and
a
great
spirit
when
advised
.
Observations

the
Life
of
Richard
Cosin

LL.
D.
RIchard
Cosin
,
LL.
D.
(
one
of
the
greatest
Civilians
our
Nation
bred
,
the
grand
Champion
of
Episcopacy
,
was
(
amongst
all
the
Countreys
of
England
)
born
in
the
Bishoprick
of
Durham
.
His
Father
was
a
person
of
Quality
,
a
Captain
of
a
Company
at
Muscleborough-Field
,
whence
his
valour
returned
with
victory
and
wealth
;
when
crossing
the
River
Tweed
[
O
the
uncertainty
of
all
earthly
happiness
!
]
he
was
drowned
therein
,
to
the
great
losse
of
his
son
Richard
;
and
greater
,
because
he
was
not
sensible
thereof
,
as
left
an
Infant
in
the
Cradle
.
His
Mother
afterwards
married
one
Mr.
Medow
,
a
York-shire
Gentleman
,
who
bred
this
his
Son-in-law
at
a
School
at
Skipton
upon
Craven
;
wherein
such
was
his
proficiency
,
that
before
he
was
twelve
years
old
(
little
lesse
then
a
wonder
to
me
,
in
that
age
,
from
so
far
a
Countrey
)
he
was
admitted
into
Trinity-Colledge
in
Cambridge
.
Some
of
his
friends
in
Queens-Colledge
in
that
University
had
a
design
to
fetch
him
thence
,
had
not
Doctor
Beaumont
prevented
the
plot
,
in
making
him
Scholar
and
Fellow
as
soon
as
by
his
Age
,
Degree
,
and
the
Statutes
he
was
capable
thereof
.

general
Scholar
,
Geometrician
,
Musitian

Physitian
,
Divine
,
but
chiefly
Civil

By

was

to
be

He
gave
forty
pounds
to
the
building
of
a
Chamber
in
Trinity-Colledge
,
and
fifteen
pounds
per
annum
for
the
maintenance
of
two
Scholarships
therein
a
good
gift
out
of
his
estate
,
who
left
not
above
fifty
pounds
a
year
clear
to
his
Heir
:
a
great
argument
of
his
integrity
,
that
he
got
no
more
in
so
gainful
a
place
.
Dying
at
Doctors
Commons
,
he
was
buried
by

Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Lord
Chief-Justice
Cook
.
THis
accomplished
person
was
well
born
at
Mileham
in
Norfolk
,
of
Robert
Cook
Esquire
,
and
Winifred
Knightly
his
Wise
,
and
as
well
bred
.
1.
When
ten
years
of
age
at
Norwich
School
.
2.
At
Trinity-Colledge
in
Cambridge
.
3.
After
four
years
University-study
,
first
in
Cliffords
Inne
,
and
then
in
the
Inner
Temple
.
The
first
occasion
of
his
Rise
was
his
stating
of
the
Cooks
Case
of
the
Temple
so
exactly
,
that
all
the
House
who
were
puzzled
with
it
admired
him
;
and
his
pleading
it
so
,
that
the
whole
Bench
took
notice
of
him
.
Such
his
proficiency
,
that
at
the
end
of
six
years
(
exceeding
early
in
that
strict
age
)
he
was
call'd
to
the
Bar
,
and
soon
after
for
three
years
chosen
Reader
in
Lyons
Inne
.
Here
his
learned
Lecture
so
spread
forth
his
fame
,
that
crouds
of
Clients
sued
to
him
for
his
Counsel
;
and
his
own
suit
was
the
sooner
granted
,
when
tendering
his
Affections
in
order
to
Marriage
,
unto
Bridget
daughter
and
Coheir
of
John
Paston
Esquire
,
whose
portion
moderately
estimated
,
Viis
&
modis
,
amounted
unto
thirty
thousand
pounds
,
her
vertues
not
falling
under
valuation
,
and
she
enriched
her
Husband
with
ten
Children
.
Then
began
preferment
to
presse
upon
him
;
the
City
of
Norwich
choosing
him
Recorder
,
the
County
of
Norfolke
their
Knight
for
Parliament
,
the
Queen
her
Speaker
therein
,
as
also
her
Solicitor
and
Attorney
.
King
James
honoured
him
with
Knighthood
,
and
made
him
Chief-Justice
,
first
of
the
Common-Pleas
,
then
of
the
Kings-Bench
.
Thus
beginning
on
a
good
bottom
left
him
by
his
Father
,
marrying
a
Wife
of
extraordinary
wealth
;
having
at
the
first
great
and
gainful
practice
,
afterwards
many
and
profitable
Offices
,
being
provident
to
choose
good
pennyworths
in
Purchases
,
leading
a
thrifty
life
,
living
to
a
great
age
during
flourishing
and
peaceable
times
(
born
as
much
after
the
persecution
under
Qu:
Mary
,
as
dying
before
our
Civil
Wars
)
no
wonder
if
he
advanced
to
a
fair
estate
,
so
that
all
his
sons
might
seem
elder
brethren
,
by
the
large
possessions
left
unto
them
.
Some
falsely
character
him
a
back-friend
to
the
Church
and
Clergy
,
being
a
grand
Benefactor
to
the
Church
of
Norwich
,
who
gratefully
under
their
publick
Seal
honoured
him
with
this
ensuing
Testimony
.

As
for
the
many
Benefices
in
his
own
Patronage
,
he
freely
gave
them
to
worthy
men
,
being
went
to
say
in
his
Law-language
,
That
he
would
have
Church-Livings
passe
by
Livery
and
Seisin
,
not
Bargain
and
Sale
.
He
was
our
English
Trebonianus
,
very
famous
for
his
Comments
on
Littleton
and
our
Common-Law
.
1628
A
Parliament
was
call'd
,
and
the
Court-party
was
jealous
of
Sir
Edward's
activity
against
them
,
as
who
had
not
digested
his
discontentments
as
he
had
done
the
Law
.
Hereupon
to
prevent
his
Election
as
a
Member
,
he
was
confined
to
Buckingbamshire
as
a
Sheriffe
.
He
scrupled
to
take
the
Oath
,
pretending
many
things
against
it
,
and
particularly
that
the
Sheriffe
is
bound
thereby
to
prosecute
Lollards
,
wherein
the
best
Christians
may
be
included
.
It
was
answered
;
That
he
had
often
seen
the
Oath
given
to
others
without
any
regret
,
and
knew
full
〈◊〉
that
Lollard
in
the
modern
sense
imported
the
oppos
〈…〉
of
the
present
Religion
,
as
established
by
Law
in
the
Land
.
No
excuses
would
serve
his
turn
,
but
he
must
undertake
that
Office
:
However
his
friends
beheld
it
as
an
injurious
degradation
of
him
,
who
had
been
Lord
Chief-Justice
,
to
attend
on
the
Judges
at
the
Assizes
.
Five
sorts
of
people
he
used
to
fore-design
to
misery
and
poverty
;
Chymists
,
Monopolizers
,
Concealers
,
Promoters
,
and
rhyming
Poets
.
For
three
things
he
would
give
God
solemn
thanks
▪
That
he
never
gave
his
body
to
Physick
,
nor
his
heart
to
cruelty
,
nor
his
hand
to
corruption
.
In
three
things
he
did
much
applaud
his
own
successe
;
In
his
fair
fortune
with
his
Wife
,
in
his
happy
study
of
the
Laws
,
and
in
his
free
coming
by
all
his
Offices
,
nec
prece
,
nec
pretio
,
neither
begging
nor
bribing
for
Preferment
.
His
Parts
were
admirable
:
he
had
a
deep
Judgement
,
faithful
Memory
,
active
Fancy
,
and
the
Jewel
of
his
minde
was
put
into
a
fair
Case
,
a
beautiful
body
with
a
comely
countenance
:
A
case
,
which
he
did
wipe
and
keep
clean
,
delighting
in
good
Cloaths
,
well
worn
;
and
being
wont
to
say
,
That
the
outward
neatnesse
of
our
bodies
,
might
be
a
Monitor
of
purity
to
our
souls
.
In
his
Pleadings
,
Discourse
,
and
Judgements
,
he
declined
all
Circumlocutions
,
usually
saying
,
The
matter
lies
in
a
little
Room
[
](A48796-e102680-b)*
*
Though
some
observe
that
his
digressions
marred
his
repute
,
and
had
broke
his
neck
,
had
he
lived
in
any
Kings
reign
but
King
James's
.
.
In
all
Places
,
Callings
,
and
Jurisdictions
,
he
commended
Modesty
and
Sobriety
within
their
boundaries
,
saying
,
If
a
River
swelleth
beyond
the
bankes
,
it
loseth
its
owne
Channel
.
If
any
adverse
party
crossed
him
,
he
would
patiently
reply
,
If
another
punisheth
me
,
I
will
not
punish
my self
.
In
the
highest
Term
of
Businesse
he
made
Vacation
to
himself
at
his
Table
,
and
would
never
be
perswaded
privately
to
retract
what
he
had
publickly
adjudged
,
professing
,
He
was
a
Judge
in
a
Court
,
not
in
a
Chamber
.
He
was
wont
to
say
,
No
wise
man
would
do
that
in
prosperity
,
whereof
he
should
repent
in
adversity
.
His
Motto
was
,
Prudens
qui
Patiens
;
and
his
practice
was
accordingly
,
especially
after
he
fell
into
the
disfavour
of
King
James
,
when
he
did
Frui
suo
Infortunio
,
and
improved
his
losse
to
his
advantage
.
He
triumphed
in
his
own
Innocency
,
that
he
had
done
nothing
illegally
;
calling
to
minde
the
Motto
which
he
gave
in
his
Rings
when
made
Sergeant
,
Lex
est
〈…〉
ssima
Classis
,
The
Law
is
the
safest
Helmet
.
And
now
he
had
leasure
to
peruse
what
formerly
he
had
written
,
even
thirty
Books
with
his
own
hand
,
most
pleasing
himself
with
a
Manual
,
which
he
called
VADE
MECVM
,
from
whence
at
one
view
he
took
a
prospect
of
his
Life
past
,
having
noted
therein
most
Remarkables
.
His
most
learned
and
laborious
Works
on
the
Lawes
will
last
to
be
admired
by
the
Judicious
Posterity
,
whilest
Fame
hath
a
Trumpet
left
her
,
and
any
breath
to
blow
therein
.
His
judgement
lately
passed
for
an
Oracle
in
Law
;
and
since
the
credit
thereof
hath
causelesly
been
questioned
,
the
wonder
is
not
great
.
If
the
Prophet
himself
,
living
in
an
incredulous
Age
,
found
cause
to
complain
,
Who
hath
believed
our
report
?
it
need
not
seem
strange
that
our
licentious
Times
have
afforded
some
to
shake
the
Authenticalnesse
of
the
Reports
of
any
earthly
Judge
.
He
constantly
had
Prayers
said
in
his
own
house
,
and
charitably
relieved
the
Poor
with
his
constant
Almes
.
The
Foundation
of
Sutton's
Hospital
(
when
indeed
but
a
Foundation
)
had
been
ruined
before
it
was
raised
,
and
crush'd
by
some
Courtiers
in
the
hatching
thereof
,
had
not
his
great
care
preserved
the
same
.
The
Free-School
at
T●etford
was
supported
in
its
being
by
his
assistance
;
and
he
founded
a
School
on
his
cost
at
Godrick
in
Norfolk
.
It
must
not
be
forgotten
,
that
Doctor
Whitgift
afterward
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
,
sent
unto
his
Pupil
when
the
Queen's
Attorney
,
a
fair
new
Testament
,
with
this
Message
;
He
had
long
enough
studied
Common
Law
,
now
let
him
study
the
Law
of
God
.
When
he
was
under
a
cloud
at
Court
,
and
outed
of
his
Judges
place
,
the
lands
belonging
to
the
Church
of
Norwich
,
which
formerly
he
had
so
industriously
recovered
and
setled
thereon
,
were
again
called
into
question
,
being
begged
by
a
Peer
.
Sir
Edward
desired
him
to
desist
,
telling
him
,
that
otherwise
he
would
put
on
his
Gown
and
Cap
,
and
come
into
Westminster-Hall
once
again
,
and
plead
there
in
any
Court
in
justification
of
what
he
had
done
.
He
died
at
Stoke-Poges
in
Buckingham-shire
,
on
Wednesday
the
third
of
September
,
being
the
83
of
his
age
,
whose
last
words
were
these
,
Thy
Kingdome
come
,
thy
Will
be
done
.
The
infirmities
of
this
Judge
,
as
my
Lord
BACON
recited
them
in
a
Letter
to
him
,
were
these
:
1.
That
he
delighted
to
speak
more
than
hear
.
2.
That
he
would
run
out
of
his
Profession
;
and
as
he
observed
of
Divines
,
so
it
was
observed
of
him
,
none
erred
worse
out
of
his
element
.
3.
That
he
conversed
with
Books
rather
than
Men
,
and
onely
with
such
men
that
he
spake
to
as
Scholars
,
rather
than
treated
as
friends
.
4.
That
he
obtruded
those
things
as
Novelties
that
were
stale
.
5.
That
he
would
jest
on
men
in
place
,
and
insult
on
men
in
misery
.
6.
That
he
made
the
Law
lean
too
much
to
his
opinion
.
7.
That
his
Tenants
in
Norfolk
were
hardly
used
;
and
that
though
he
had
ten
thousand
pounds
per
an
.
he
relieved
not
the
poor
.
8.
That
in
his
last
proceedings
against
Somerset
,
he
was
too
open
and
dilatory
,
giving
too
much
advantage
,
and
breaking
out
to
some
unadvised
expressions
.
9.
That
he
stood
out
against
Power
;
for
which
,
and
other
failures
,
he
was
dismissed
the
Council-board
with
this
expression
from
King
James
,
That
he
was
the
fittest
instrument
to
serve
a
Tyrant
.
Indeed
he
had
some
projects
for
the
Revenue
,
and
looked
for
the
Treasury
,
when
he
was
absolutely
cast
off
;
though
he
made
such
shift
,
that
throw
him
where
you
would
(
as
King
James
said
)
he
fell
upon
his
legs
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Ralph
Winwood
.
SIr
Ralph
Winwood
was
a
Gentleman
well
seen
in
most
Affairs
,
but
most
expert
in
matters
of
Trade
and
War
;
for
he
was
first
a
Soldier
,
and
then
an
Agent
in
the
Netherlands
,
where
he
remonstrated
against
Vorstius
learnedly
and
resolutely
,
representing
as
well
his
Masters
parts
as
his
power
:
It
was
the
very
guize
of
that
time
to
be
learned
;
the
wits
of
it
were
so
excellent
,
the
helps
and
ass
〈…〉
ants
of
it
were
so
great
;
Printing
was
so
common
;
the
world
(
by
Navigation
)
so
open
;
great
experiments
so
disclosed
;
the
leisure
of
men
so
much
,
the
age
was
so
peaceable
;
and
his
Majestie
,
after
whom
all
writ
,
so
knowing
.
When
the
Earl
of
Somerset
was
made
Chamberlain
by
his
Majesty
in
his
Fathers
place
,
Sir
Ralph
Winwood
was
by
the
Queen
made
Secretary
in
his
;
succeeding
him
in
his
Office
,
but
exceeding
him
in
his
successe
(
Fortune
may
begin
any
mans
greatness
,
but
Vertue
must
continue
it
)
for
this
Favourite
taking
upon
him
to
over-rule
Winwood
,
Winwood
makes
it
his
businesse
to
overthrow
him
;
to
which
purpose
his
Agents
discover
some
secrets
abroad
(
you
may
understand
more
of
England
at
Amsterdam
th●●
at
London
)
and
he
useth
his
Arts
at
home
;
for
Mr.
Villiers
being
now
brought
to
Court
,
when
others
were
for
raising
him
by
interest
,
Sir
Ralph
was
for
advancing
him
with
Compliance
—
a
Compliance
as
he
said
,
that
must
either
supple
or
break
his
Adversaries
,
and
either
way
ruine
them
.
—
Accordingly
Sir
George
is
directed
to
offer
his
service
to
the
Earl
of
Somerset
;
that
Earl
fatally
tells
him
,
He
would
have
none
of
his
service
,
but
would
break
his
Designe
.
—
These
words
coming
so
cross
to
the
Kings
inclination
,
and
the
Court's
plot
,
provoked
all
persons
to
look
further
into
Sir
Ralph
Winwood's
Intelligence
concerning
Sir
Tho.
Overbury's
death
.
Now
mens
weaknesses
and
faults
are
best
known
by
their
enemies
,
their
vertues
and
abilities
from
their
friends
;
their
customes
and
times
from
their
servants
;
their
conceits
and
opinions
from
their
familiars
,
to
whom
they
are
least
masked
.
To
all
these
he
applyeth
himself
,
until
he
had
discovered
as
much
of
the
practices
concerning
Overbury
,
as
might
humble
the
Earl
;
and
as
much
corruption
in
the
conveyance
of
publick
money
to
the
buildding
of
Audley-End
,
as
might
displace
his
Father
.
An
Apothecaries
boy
give●
the
first
,
and
a
servant
that
carried
the
money
the
second
,
both
whom
he
surprized
with
the
Spanish
proverb
;
Di
mentura
,
y
sacaras
verdad
:
Tell
a
lye
,
and
finde
a
truth
.
Indeed
the
natures
and
dispositions
,
the
conditions
and
necessities
,
the
factions
and
combinations
,
the
animosities
and
discontents
;
the
ends
and
designs
of
most
people
were
clear
and
transparent
to
this
watchful
man's
intelligence
and
observation
,
who
could
do
more
with
King
James
by
working
on
his
fear
,
than
others
by
gratifying
his
pleasure
.
When
I
observe
how
close
and
silent
he
was
at
the
Council-Table
,
it
puts
me
in
minde
of
the
man
that
gave
this
reason
why
he
was
silent
in
a
Treaty
and
Conference
:
Because
(
said
he
)
the
Enemy
might
know
,
that
as
there
are
many
here
that
can
speak
,
so
here
is
one
that
can
hold
his
peace
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Francis
Bacon
.
SIr
Francis
was
born
where
we
are
made
men
,
bred
where
we
are
made
States-men
;
being
equally
happy
in
the
quicknesse
of
the
City
,
and
politeness
of
the
Court
:
He
had
a
large
minde
from
his
Father
,
and
great
abilities
from
his
Mother
;
his
parts
improved
more
than
his
years
:
his
great
,
fixed
,
and
methodical
memory
,
his
solid
judgement
,
his
quick
fancy
,
his
ready
expression
,
gave
high
assurance
of
that
profound
and
universal
knowledge
and
comprehension
of
things
which
then
rendered
him
the
observation
of
great
and
wise
men
,
and
afterwards
the
wonder
of
all
.
The
great
Queen
was
as
much
taken
with
his
witty
discourses
when
a
School
boy
,
as
with
his
grave
Oracles
when
her
Counsel
learned
.
He
was
a
Courtier
from
his
Cradle
to
his
Grave
,
sucking
in
experience
with
his
milke
,
being
inured
to
policy
as
early
as
to
his
Grammar
:
Royal
Maximes
were
his
Sententia
Puerilis
;
and
he
never
saw
any
thing
that
was
not
noble
and
becoming
.
The
Queen
called
him
her
young
Lord
Keeper
,
for
his
grave
ingenuity
at
seven
years
of
age
;
and
he
could
tell
her
Majesty
be
was
two
years
younger
for
her
happy
Reigne
.
At
twelve
,
his
industry
was
above
the
capacity
,
and
his
minde
above
the
reach
of
his
Contemporaries
:
A
prodigy
of
parts
he
must
be
,
who
was
begot
by
wise
Sir
Nicholas
Bacon
,
born
of
the
accomplished
Mrs.
Anne
Cook
,
and
bred
under
the
wise
,
learned
,
and
pious
Doctor
Whitgift
.
His
strong
observations
at
Court
,
his
steady
course
of
study
in
the
University
,
must
be
improved
by
a
well
contrived
Travell
abroad
:
where
his
conversation
was
so
obliging
,
his
way
so
inquisitive
,
his
prudence
so
eminent
,
that
he
was
Sir
Amie
Paulet's
Agent
between
the
Juncto
of
France
and
the
Queen
of
England
:
He
allayed
the
solidity
of
England
with
the
Ayre
of
France
,
untill
his
own
Affairs
and
the
Kingdomes
service
called
him
home
at
his
Fathers
death
to
enjoy
a
younger
Brothers
estate
,
and
act
his
part
:
Policy
was
his
business
,
the
Law
was
onely
his
livelyhood
;
yet
he
was
so
great
a
States-man
,
that
you
would
think
he
only
studied
men
:
so
great
a
Scholar
,
that
you
would
say
,
he
onely
studied
Books
.
Such
insight
he
had
in
the
Law
,
that
he
was
at
thirty
her
Majesties
Advocate
;
such
his
judgement
,
that
he
was
the
Student
of
Grayes-Inn's
Oracle
;
so
generous
and
affable
his
disposition
,
that
he
was
all
mens
love
and
wonder
:
He
instilled
wholsome
precepts
of
Prudence
and
Honour
to
Noble-men
(
particularly
the
Earl
of
Essex
,
to
whom
he
was
more
faithful
,
than
he
to
himself
:
)
Great
principles
of
Arts
and
Sciences
to
the
learned
;
noble
Maximes
of
Government
to
Princes
,
excellent
rules
of
Life
to
the
Populacy
.
When
his
great
Patron
Essex
sunk
,
he
was
buoyed
up
by
his
own
fleadiness
,
and
native
worth
,
that
admitted
him
to
the
Qu:
own
presence
,
not
onely
to
deliver
matter
of
Law
,
which
was
his
profession
,
but
to
debate
matters
of
State
,
which
was
his
element
:
his
judgement
was
so
eminent
,
that
he
could
satisfie
the
greatest
;
his
condescention
so
humble
,
that
he
instructed
the
meanest
:
his
extraordinary
parts
,
above
the
modell
of
the
age
,
were
feared
in
Queen
Elizabeths
time
,
but
employed
in
King
James
his
,
Favour
he
had
in
her
Reign
,
but
Trust
onely
in
his
:
It
's
dangerous
in
a
factious
Age
to
have
my
Lord
Bacon's
parts
,
or
my
Lord
of
Essex
his
favour
.
Exact
was
his
correspondence
abroad
and
at
home
;
constant
his
Letters
,
frequent
his
Visits
,
great
his
Obligations
,
moderate
and
temperate
his
Inclination
;
peaceable
,
humble
,
and
submissive
his
minde
;
complying
and
yielding
,
his
temper
:
In
Queen
Elizabeths
time
,
when
he
could
not
rise
by
the
publick
way
of
service
,
he
did
it
by
that
more
private
of
Marriage
,
and
other
commendable
Improvements
;
whereby
he
shewed
a
great
soul
could
be
rich
in
spight
of
Fortune
,
though
it
scorned
it
in
point
of
Honour
.
In
the
House
of
Commons
none
more
popular
,
none
more
zealous
,
none
so
knowing
a
Patriot
:
In
the
house
of
Lords
,
none
more
successfully
serviceable
to
the
Crown
:
the
easie
way
of
Subsidies
was
his
design
in
Queen
Elizabeths
time
;
the
union
with
Scotland
was
his
contrivance
in
King
James's
.
His
make
and
port
was
stately
,
his
speech
flowing
and
grave
,
each
word
of
his
falling
in
its
place
;
the
issue
of
great
reason
when
conceived
,
and
of
great
prudence
when
expressed
:
so
great
skill
he
had
in
observing
and
contriving
of
occasions
and
opportunities
,
in
suiting
of
Humours
,
and
hitting
of
Junctures
and
Flexures
of
Affairs
,
that
he
was
in
his
time
the
Master
of
speech
and
action
,
carrying
all
before
him
.
The
Earl
of
Salisbury
,
saith
Sir
Walter
Rawleigh
,
was
a
good
Orator
,
but
a
bad
Writer
;
the
Earl
of
Northampeon
was
a
good
Writer
,
but
a
bad
Orator
;
Sir
Francis
Bacon
excelled
in
both
:
Much
he
said
he
owed
to
his
Books
,
more
to
his
innate
Principles
and
Notions
:
When
he
thought
,
he
said
,
he
aimed
more
at
Connexion
than
Variety
:
When
he
spake
,
he
designed
rather
the
life
and
vigour
of
expression
,
and
perspicuity
of
words
,
than
the
elegancy
or
order
of
phrase
.
His
axiome
was
;
Words
should
wait
on
things
,
rather
than
things
on
words
;
and
his
resolution
was
,
That
all
affected
elegance
was
below
the
gravity
and
majesty
of
a
publick
discourse
:
He
rather
judged
Books
and
Men
,
than
either
read
or
talked
with
them
.
His
Exercises
were
man-like
and
healthful
;
his
Meditations
cohaerent
;
his
Table
temperate
and
learned
,
where
his
great
Discourses
were
the
entertainment
,
and
he
himself
the
treat
;
resolving
Cases
most
satisfactorily
,
stating
Questions
most
exactly
,
relating
Histories
most
prudently
,
opening
great
Secrets
most
clearly
,
answering
Arguments
and
replying
most
familiarly
,
and
speaking
what
he
had
thorowly
weighed
and
considered
most
effectually
.
—
All
matters
and
speeches
came
from
him
with
advantage
;
so
acute
and
ready
his
wit
,
so
faithful
his
memory
,
so
penetrating
his
judgement
,
so
searching
his
head
,
so
large
and
rational
his
soul
.
My
Lord
of
Salisbury
said
,
he
had
the
clearest
prospect
of
things
of
any
man
in
his
age
;
and
K.
James
said
,
That
he
knew
the
method
of
handling
Matters
after
a
milde
and
gentle
manner
.
His
Religion
was
rational
and
sober
,
his
spirit
publick
,
his
love
to
Relations
tender
,
to
Friends
faithful
;
to
the
hopeful
liberal
,
to
men
universal
,
to
his
very
Enemies
civil
.
He
left
the
best
pattern
of
Government
in
his
actions
under
one
King
,
and
the
best
principles
of
it
in
the
Life
of
the
other
.
His
Essays
and
History
made
him
the
admiration
of
polite
Italy
;
his
Accomplishments
,
the
wonder
of
France
;
Monsieur
Fiat
saying
to
him
,
after
an
earnest
desire
to
see
him
,
That
he
was
an
Angel
to
him
,
of
whom
he
had
heard
much
,
but
never
saw
him
.
Solid
and
juycy
Meat
was
his
Diet
,
and
Rubarb
his
Physick
:
four
hours
in
the
morning
he
made
his
own
,
not
by
any
means
to
be
interrupted
:
businesse
was
his
fate
,
retyrement
his
inclination
.
Socrates
brought
Morality
from
Discourse
to
Practice
;
and
my
Lord
Bacon
brought
Philosophy
from
Speculation
to
Experience
.
Aristotle
he
said
,
taught
many
to
dispute
,
more
to
wrangle
,
few
to
finde
out
Truth
,
none
to
manage
it
according
to
his
principles
:
—
My
Lord
Bacon
was
a
man
singular
in
every
faculty
,
and
eminent
in
all
:
His
Judgement
was
solid
,
yet
his
memory
was
a
wonder
;
his
Wit
was
quick
,
yet
his
Reason
staid
;
his
Invention
was
happy
,
yet
methodical
:
and
one
fault
he
had
,
that
he
was
above
the
age
he
lived
in
;
above
it
in
his
bounties
to
such
as
brought
him
Presents
(
so
remembring
that
he
had
been
Lord-Chancellour
,
that
he
forgot
he
was
but
Lord
Verulam
:
Great
his
understanding
,
and
great
his
minde
too
)
above
it
in
his
kindnesse
to
servants
,
to
whom
he
had
been
a
better
Master
,
if
he
had
been
a
worse
;
and
more
kinde
,
if
he
had
been
lesse
indulgent
to
them
.
For
the
first
of
his
Excesses
,
King
James
jeered
him
in
his
progress
to
New-market
,
saying
,
when
he
heard
he
gave
ten
pounds
to
one
that
brought
him
some
Fruit
,
My
Lord
,
my
Lord
,
this
is
the
way
to
Beggars-bush
.
For
the
second
,
he
reflected
upon
himself
,
when
he
said
to
his
servants
as
they
rose
to
him
in
his
Hall
;
Your
rise
hath
been
my
fall
.
Though
indeed
he
rather
trusted
to
their
honesty
,
than
connived
at
their
falshood
;
for
he
did
impartial
Justice
commonly
to
both
parties
,
when
one
servant
was
in
fee
with
the
Plaintiff
,
and
the
other
with
the
Defendant
:
—
How
well
he
understood
his
own
time
,
his
Letters
,
and
complyances
evidence
;
than
whom
none
higher
in
spirit
,
yet
none
humbler
in
his
Addresses
[
The
proudest
man
is
most
servile
.
]
How
little
he
valued
wealth
,
appeareth
,
in
that
when
his
servants
would
take
money
from
his
Closet
,
even
while
he
was
by
,
he
would
laugh
,
and
say
,
I
poor
men
,
that
is
their
portion
.
How
well
he
kenned
the
art
of
Converse
,
his
Essayes
discover
,
a
piece
(
as
he
observed
himself
)
that
of
all
his
Works
was
most
current
,
for
that
they
come
home
to
mens
businesse
and
bosomes
.
How
far
skilled
in
the
Art
of
Government
,
his
H.
7.
War
with
Spain
,
Holy
War
,
Elements
of
the
Law
,
irrefragably
demonstrate
;
and
how
well
seen
in
all
Learning
,
his
Natural
History
,
and
Advancement
of
Learning
answerably
argue
.
In
a
word
,
how
sufficient
he
was
,
may
be
conjectured
from
this
instance
,
that
he
had
the
contrivance
of
all
King
James
his
Designs
,
untill
the
Match
with
Spain
;
and
that
he
gave
those
Directions
to
a
great
States-man
[

Vid.
Duke
of
Buckingham's
Life
.
which
may
be
his
Character
,
and
our
conclusion
.
Onely
be
it
observed
,
that
though
this
peerlesse
Lord
is
much
admired
by
English-men
,
yet
is
he
more
valued
by
Strangers
;
distance
,
as
the
Historian
hath
it
,
diminishing
his
faults
to
Foreigners
,
while
we
behold
his
perfections
abated
with
his
failings
;
which
set
him
as
much
below
pity
,
as
his
Place
did
once
above
it
;
Sir
Julius
Caesar
(
they
say
)
looking
upon
him
as
a
burden
in
his
Family
,
and
the
Lord
Brooke
denying
him
a
bottle
of
small
beer
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Lord
John
Digby
.
JOhn
Lord
Digby
of
Sherborn
,
and
Earl
of
Bristol
,
was
a
younger
Son
of
an
ancient
Family
,
long
flourishing
at
●●leshull
.
To
passe
by
his
younger
years
,
(
all
children
being
alike
in
their
Coats
)
when
he
had
onely
an
Annuity
of
fifty
pounds
per
annum
,
onely
his
youth
gave
pregnant
hopes
of
that
Eminency
,
which
his
mature
age
did
produce
.
He
did
ken
the
Embassador's
craft
,
as
well
as
any
in
his
age
,
employed
by
King
James
in
several
Services
to
Foreign
Princes
,
recited
in
his
Patent
,
as
the
main
motives
of
the
Honours
conferred
upon
him
.
But
his
managing
the
matchlesse
Match
with
Spain
was
his
Master-piece
,
wherein
a
good
(
I
mean
a
great
)
number
of
State-Traverses
were
used
on
both
sides
:
Where
if
he
dealt
in
Generalities
,
and
did
not
presse
Particulars
,
we
may
ghesse
the
reason
of
it
from
that
expression
of
his
;
I
will
take
care
to
have
my
Instructions
perfect
,
and
will
pursue
them
punctually
:
If
he
held
Affairs
in
suspence
,
that
it
might
not
come
to
a
War
on
our
part
,
it
may
be
he
did
so
with
more
regard
to
his
Mr.
King
James
his
inclination
,
than
his
own
apprehension
:
If
he
said
;
That
howsoever
the
businesse
went
,
he
would
make
his
fortune
thereby
,
it
rather
argued
his
weaknesse
that
he
said
so
,
his
sufficiency
that
he
could
do
so
,
than
his
unfaithfulnesse
that
he
did
so
.
This
is
certain
,
that
he
chose
rather
to
come
home
,
and
suffer
the
utmost
displeasure
of
the
King
of
England
,
than
stay
in
Spain
,
and
enjoy
the
highest
favour
of
the
King
of
Spain
.
He
did
indeed
intercede
for
some
indulgeuce
to
the
Papists
;
but
it
was
,
because
otherwise
he
could
do
no
good
for
the
Protestants
.
—
But
whatever
was
at
the
bottom
of
his
Actions
,
there
was
resolution
and
noblenesse
atop
,
especially
in
these
actions
.
1.
Being
carried
from
Village
to
Village
after
the
King
of
Spain
,
without
that
regard
due
to
his
person
,
or
place
;
he
expressed
himself
so
generously
,
that
the
Spanish
Courtiers
trembled
;
and
the
King
declared
,
That
be
would
not
interrupt
his
Pleasures
with
businesse
at
Lerma
,
for
any
Embassador
in
the
world
but
the
English
;
nor
for
any
English
Embassador
but
Don
Juan
.
2.
When
impure
Scioppius
upon
his
Libel
against
K.
James
,
and
Sir
Humphrey
Bennet's
complaint
to
the
Arch-Duke
against
him
,
fled
to
Madrid
;
my
Lord
observing
that
it
was
impossible
to
have
Justice
done
against
him
from
the
Catholique
King
because
of
the
Jesuites
,
puts
his
Cousin
George
Digby
upon
cutting
him
;
which
he
did
over
his
Nose
and
Mouth
wherewith
he
offended
,
so
that
he
carried
the
mark
of
his
Blasphemy
to
his
Grave
.
3.
When
he
was
extraordinary
Embassador
in
Germany
,
upon
his
return
by
Heydelbergh
,
observing
that
Count
Mansfield's
Army
,
upon
whom
depended
the
fortune
of
the
Palsgrave
,
was
like
to
disband
for
want
of
money
,
he
pawned
all
his
Plate
and
Jewels
to
buoy
up
that
sinking
Cause
for
that
time
.
That
his
spirit
was
thus
great
abroad
,
was
his
honour
;
but
that
it
was
too
great
at
home
,
was
his
unhappiness
:
for
he
engagaged
in
a
fatal
Contrast
with
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
that
hazarded
both
their
safeties
,
had
not
this
Lord
feared
the
Duke's
power
(
as
the
Duke
this
Lord's
policy
)
and
so
at
last
it
became
a
drawn
Battle
betwixt
them
;
yet
so
,
that
this
Earl
lost
the
love
of
King
Charles
,
living
many
years
in
his
disfavour
:
But
such
as
are
in
a
Court-cloud
,
have
commonly
the
Countreys
Sun-shine
;
and
this
Peer
during
his
Eclipse
,
was
very
popular
with
most
of
the
Nation
.
It
is
seldome
seen
,
if
a
Favourite
once
broken
at
Court
,
sets
up
again
for
himself
;
the
hap
(
rather
than
happiness
)
of
this
Lord
,
the
King
graciously
reflecting
on
him
at
the
beginning
of
the
Long
Parliament
,
as
one
best
able
to
give
him
the
safest
Counsel
in
those
dangerous
times
.
But
how
he
incensed
the
Parliament
so
far
,
as
to
be
exceped
pardon
,
I
neither
do
know
,
nor
dare
enquire
.
Sure
I
am
,
that
after
the
surrender
of
Exeter
,
he
went
over
into
France
,
where
he
met
with
that
due
respect
in
Foreign
,
which
he
missed
in
his
Native
Countrey
.
The
worst
I
wish
such
,
who
causelesly
suspect
him
of
Popish
inclinations
(
saith
my
Author
)
is
,
that
I
may
hear
from
them
but
half
so
many
strong
Arguments
for
the
Protestant
Religion
,
as
I
heard
from
him
,
who
was
to
his
commendation
a
cordial
Champion
for
the
Church
of
England
.
This
Family
hath
been
much
talked
of
this
last
forty
years
;
though
all
that
I
can
say
of
it
is
this
,
that
great
spirits
,
large
parts
,
high
honours
,
penned
within
narrow
Estates
,
seldome
blesse
their
owners
with
moderation
,
or
the
places
they
live
in
with
peace
.
Oservations
on
the
Life
of
the
Lord
Spencer
.
HEe
was
the
fifth
Knight
of
his
Family
,
in
an
immediate
succession
,
well
allied
and
extracted
,
being
descended
from
the
Spencers
,
Earls
of
Gloucester
and
Winchester
.
In
the
first
year
of
the
Reign
of
King
James
,
being
a
moneyed
man
,
he
was
created
Baron
of
Wormeleiton
in
the
County
of
Warwick
.
He
had
such
a
ready
and
quick
Wit
,
that
once
speaking
in
Parliament
of
the
valour
of
their
English
Ancestors
in
defending
the
Liberty
of
the
Nation
,
returned
this
Answer
to
the
Earl
of
Arundel
,
who
said
unto
him
,
Your
Ancestors
were
then
keeping
of
Sheep
;
If
they
kept
Sheep
,
yours
were
then
plotting
of
Treason
.
But
both
of
them
were
at
present
confined
;
but
to
the
Lord
Spencer
the
Upper-House
ordered
Reparations
,
who
was
first
and
causelesly
provoked
.
This
Lord
was
also
he
,
who
in
the
first
of
King
James
was
sent
(
with
Sir
William
Dethick
,
principal
King
of
Arms
)
to
Frederick
Duke
of
Wirtenbergh
,
elected
into
the
Order
of
the
Garter
,
to
present
and
invest
him
with
the
Robes
and
Ornaments
thereof
;
which
were
accordingly
with
geat
solemnity
performed
in
the
Cathedral
of
Studgard
.
—
And
this
was
the
Lord
,
that
when
the
Earl
of
Bristol
charged
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
started
up
,
and
demanded
;
Is
this
all
you
have
to
say
against
the
Duke
?
The
Earl
replyed
,
Yes
my
Lord
,
and
I
am
sorry
it
is
so
much
.
Then
quoth
the
Lord
Spencer
,
If
this
be
all
,
Ridiculus
mus
;
and
so
sate
down
again
.
The
End

FAVOURITES
OF
ENGLAND
,
IN
The
Reign
of
King
Charles
I.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
.
NAture
bestowed
on
him
an
exact
comliness
,
his
Mother
a
noble
education
(
not
so
much
to
study
,
as
converse
:
)
His
Travels
to
France
,
carriage
and
experience
.
About
which
times
,
he
falls
into
intrinsecal
society
with
Sir
Job
.
Greham
,
then
one
of
the
Gentlemen
of
his
Majesties
Privy-Chamber
;
who
,
I
know
not
upon
what
Luminaries
he
espyed
in
his
Face
,
disswaded
him
from
Marriage
,
and
gave
him
rather
encouragement
to
wooe
Fortune
at
Court
,
than
court
it
in
the
City
:
Which
advice
sank
well
into
his
fancy
,
for
within
some
while
,
the
King
had
taken
by
certain
glances
(
whereof
the
first
was
at
Apthorpe
in
a
Progresse
)
such
liking
of
his
Person
,
that
he
was
resolved
to
make
him
a
Master-piece
,
and
to
mould
him
as
it
were
Platonically
to
his
own
Idea
.
Neither
was
his
Majesty
content
onely
to
be
the
Architect
of
his
Fortune
,
without
putting
his
gracious
hand
likewise
to
some
part
of
the
work
it self
;
Insomuch
that
it
pleased
him
to
descend
,
and
to
avale
his
goodnesse
,
even
to
the
giving
of
his
foresaid
friend
Sir
John
Greham
secret
directions
,
how
,
by
what
degrees
he
should
bring
him
into
favour
.
His
own
parts
and
observation
gained
him
prudence
and
discretion
;
His
Family
and
Ancestors
in
Leicester-shirt
,
gentility
and
repute
;
so
that
there
wanted
nothing
but
Interest
to
set
him
up
a
Courtier
:
Sir
Thomas
Compton
,
who
had
married
his
Mother
,
supplyed
him
with
the
one
,
and
the
Earls
of
Bedford
,
Pembrook
,
and
Hertford
,
who
would
eclipse
Somerset
,
helped
him
to
the
other
:
For
those
three
Lords
meeting
one
night
at
Baynards-Castle
,
and
commanding
Somerset's
picture
should
be
abused
in
their
way
;
next
day
Sir
Thomas
Lake
leads
him
into
Court
,
buying
him
the
Cup-bearers
place
:
A
while
after
the
Countess
of
Bedford
ushereth
him
to
the
Presence-Chamber
,
entering
him
a
Bed-chamber-man
,
—
and
the
Earl
of
Pembrook
supports
him
,
untill
he
was
a
Favourite
.
The
Courtiers
wished
him
well
,
because
he
was
an
English-man
;
the
Nobility
favoured
him
,
because
a
Gentleman
;
the
Ladies
have
a
kindnesse
for
him
,
because
the
exactest
Courtier
in
Christendome
;
the
King
observes
him
much
,
for
his
compleat
body
,
more
for
his
pregnant
parts
;
and
the
States-men
now
consulting
Somerset's
removal
,
and
finding
King
James
his
good
nature
loth
to
leave
the
bosome
of
one
Minion
,
until
he
had
reposed
himself
in
another
,
made
it
their
plot
to
advance
him
.
His
carriage
was
free
and
debonair
;
his
passions
even
and
smooth
,
and
one
saith
,
carried
in
his
pocket
;
his
nature
noble
and
open
;
his
temper
industrious
and
inquisitive
;
his
intellectuals
clear
and
capable
;
his
minde
tractable
and
docible
;
his
spirit
resolute
and
undaunted
.
—
The
first
month
he
comes
to
Court
,
he
takes
place
above
all
his
fellows
;
and
being
removed
with
some
affront
by
a
creature
of
Somerset's
,
gives
him
a
box
on
the
car
;
an
action
that
gave
him
and
his
friends
a
seasonable
occasion
of
a
Contest
with
Somerset
,
and
him
a
clear
conquest
over
him
:
Somerset
as
Chamberlain
would
have
cut
off
his
hand
,
and
he
as
Favourite
was
like
to
have
cut
off
his
head
.
This
new
Favourite
riseth
;
all
are
weary
of
Somerset
the
first
Minion
,
all
welcome
the
second
.
The
King
is
first
his
Tutor
,
and
then
his
Patron
,
instructing
him
before
he
employed
him
.
Three
sorts
of
studies
he
engaged
him
in
;
the
first
was
for
delights
in
private
Retyrements
;
the
second
,
for
ornament
in
Discourse
;
the
third
,
for
ability
in
Businesse
.
He
had
Princely
apprehensions
of
the
principles
and
Maximes
of
Government
,
a
distinct
notion
of
all
his
Affairs
,
an
excellent
way
to
make
use
of
other
mens
Abilities
;
and
these
incomparable
Rules
from
my
Lord
Bacon
,
which
were
transcribed
in
his
Life
.
Sir
,
In
the
first
place
,
I
shall
be
bold
to
put
you
Compleat
Instructions
for
a
States-man
,
given
by
L.
B.
to
D.
B.
in
minde
of
the
present
condition
you
are
in
;
You
are
not
onely
a
Courtier
,
but
a
Bed-chamber-man
,
and
so
are
in
the
eye
and
eare
of
your
Master
;
but
you
are
also
a
Favourite
;
The
Fourite
of
the
time
,
and
so
are
in
his
bosome
also
;
The
world
hath
so
voted
you
,
and
doth
so
esteem
of
you
,
(
for
Kings
and
great
Princes
,
even
the
wisest
of
them
,
have
had
their
Friends
,
their
Favourites
,
their
Privadoes
,
in
all
ages
;
for
they
have
their
affections
as
well
as
other
men
)
of
these
they
make
several
uses
:
sometimes
to
communicate
and
debate
their
thoughts
with
them
,
and
to
ripen
their
judgements
thereby
;
sometimes
to
ease
their
cares
by
imparting
them
;
and
sometimes
to
interpose
them
between
themselves
and
the
envy
or
malice
of
their
People
(
for
Kings
cannot
erre
,
that
must
must
be
discharged
upon
the
shoulders
of
their
Ministers
;
and
they
who
are
nearest
unto
them
must
be
content
to
bear
the
greatest
load
.
)
Truly
Sir
,
I
do
not
believe
or
suspect
that
you
are
chosen
to
this
eminency
,
out
of
the
last
of
these
considerations
;
for
you
serve
such
a
Master
,
who
by
his
wisdome
and
goodnesse
,
is
as
free
from
the
malice
or
envy
of
his
Subjects
,
as
,
I
think
I
may
say
truly
,
ever
any
King
was
,
who
hath
sate
upon
his
Throne
before
him
:
But
I
am
confident
,
his
Majesty
hath
cast
his
eyes
upon
you
,
as
finding
you
to
be
such
as
you
should
be
,
or
hoping
to
make
you
to
be
such
as
he
would
have
you
to
be
;
for
this
I
may
say
without
flattery
,
your
outside
promiseth
as
much
as
can
be
expected
from
a
Gentleman
.
But
be
it
in
the
one
respect
,
or
other
,
it
belongeth
to
you
to
take
care
of
your self
,
and
to
know
well
what
the
name
of
a
Favourite
signifies
:
If
you
be
chosen
upon
the
former
respects
;
you
have
reason
to
take
care
of
your
actions
and
deportment
,
out
of
your
gratitude
,
for
the
King's
sake
;
but
if
out
of
the
later
,
you
ought
to
take
the
greater
care
,
for
your
own
sake
.
You
are
as
a
new
risen
Star
,
and
the
eyes
of
all
men
are
upon
you
;
let
not
your
own
negligence
make
you
fall
like
a
Meteor
.
The
contemplation
then
of
your
present
condition
must
necessarily
prepare
you
for
action
;
what
time
can
be
well
spar'd
from
your
attendance
on
your
Master
,
will
be
taken
up
by
suitors
,
whom
you
cannot
avoid
,
nor
decline
,
without
reproach
;
for
if
you
do
not
already
,
you
will
soon
finde
the
throng
of
suitors
attend
you
;
for
no
man
,
almost
,
who
hath
to
do
with
the
King
,
will
think
himself
safe
,
unlesse
you
be
his
good
Angel
,
and
guide
him
,
or
,
or
least
,
that
you
be
not
a
Malus
Genius
against
him
;
so
that
,
in
respect
of
the
King
your
Master
,
you
must
be
very
wary
,
that
you
give
him
true
information
;
and
if
the
matter
concern
him
in
his
Government
,
that
you
do
not
flatter
him
;
if
you
do
,
you
are
as
great
a
Traytor
to
him
in
the
Court
of
Heaven
,
as
he
that
draws
his
sword
against
him
:
and
in
respect
of
the
Suitors
which
shall
attend
you
,
there
is
nothing
will
bring
you
more
honour
and
more
ease
,
then
to
do
them
what
right
in
justice
you
may
,
and
with
as
much
speed
as
you
may
;
for
believe
it
,
Sir
,
next
to
the
obtaining
of
the
suit
,
a
speedy
and
a
gentle
denyal
(
when
the
case
will
not
bear
it
)
is
the
most
acceptable
to
suitors
;
they
will
gain
by
their
dispatch
,
whereas
else
they
shall
spend
their
time
and
money
in
attending
;
and
you
will
gain
in
the
ease
you
will
finde
in
being
rid
of
their
importunity
.
But
if
they
obtain
what
they
reasonably
desired
,
they
will
be
doubly
bound
to
you
for
your
favour
:
Bis
dat
qui
cito
dat
;
it
multiplis
the
courtesie
,
to
do
it
with
good
words
,
and
speedily
.
That
you
may
be
able
to
do
this
with
the
best
advantage
,
my
humble
advice
is
this
;
when
suitors
come
unto
you
,
set
apart
a
certain
hour
in
;
day
to
give
them
audience
:
If
the
businesse
be
light
and
easie
,
it
may
by
word
onely
be
delivered
,
and
in
a
word
be
answered
;
but
if
it
be
either
of
weight
,
or
of
difficulty
,
direct
the
suitor
to
commit
it
to
writing
,
(
if
it
be
not
so
already
)
and
then
direct
him
to
attend
for
his
answer
at
a
set
time
to
be
appointed
,
which
would
constantly
be
observed
,
unlesse
some
matter
of
great
moment
do
interrupt
it
:
when
you
have
received
the
Petitions
(
and
it
will
please
the
Petitioners
well
,
to
have
access
unto
you
to
deliver
them
into
your
own
hand
)
let
your
Secretary
first
read
them
,
and
draw
lines
under
the
material
parts
thereof
(
for
the
matter
,
for
the
most
part
,
lies
in
a
narrow
room
.
)
The
Petitions
being
thus
prepared
,
do
you
constantly
set
apart
an
hour
in
a
day
to
peruse
those
Petitions
;
and
after
you
have
ranked
them
into
several
files
,
according
to
the
subject
matter
,
make
choice
of
two
or
three
friends
,
whose
judgements
and
fidelities
you
believe
you
may
trust
in
a
business
of
that
nature
,
and
recommend
it
to
one
or
more
of
them
,
to
inform
you
of
their
opinions
,
and
of
their
reasons
for
,
or
against
the
granting
of
it
;
and
if
the
matter
be
of
great
weight
indeed
,
then
it
would
not
be
amisse
to
send
several
Copies
of
the
same
Petition
to
several
of
your
friends
,
the
one
not
knowing
what
the
other
doth
,
and
desire
them
to
return
their
answers
to
you
by
a
certain
time
,
to
be
prefixed
in
writing
;
so
shall
you
receive
an
impartial
answer
,
and
by
comparing
the
one
with
the
other
,
you
shall
both
discern
the
abilities
and
faithfulnesse
of
your
friends
,
and
be
able
to
give
a
judgement
thereupon
,
as
an
Oracle
.
But
by
no
means
trust
not
to
your
own
judgement
alone
,
for
no
man
is
●●niscient
;
nor
trust
onely
to
your
servants
,
who
may
mislead
you
,
or
mis-inform
you
;
by
which
they
may
perhaps
gain
a
few
crowns
,
but
the
reproach
will
lie
upon
your self
,
if
it
be
not
rightly
carried
.
For
the
facilitating
of
your
dispatches
,
my
advice
is
further
,
that
you
divide
all
the
Petitions
,
and
the
matters
therein
contained
,
under
several
heads
;
which
,
I
conceive
,
may
be
fitly
ranked
into
these
eight
sorts
.
-
1.
Matters
that
concern
Religion
,
and
the
Church
and
Church-men
.
-
2.
Matters
concerning
Justice
,
and
the
Laws
,
and
the
professors
thereof
.
-
3.
Councellors
,
and
the
Council-Table
,
and
the
great
Offices
and
Officers
of
the
Kingdom
.
-
4.
Foreign
Negotiations
and
Embassies
.
-
5.
Peace
and
War
,
both
foreign
and
civil
,
and
in
that
the
Navy
and
Forts
,
and
what
belongs
to
them
.
-
6.
Trade
at
home
and
abroad
.
-
7.
Colonies
,
or
foreign
Plantations
.
-
8.
The
Court
,
and
Curiality
.
And
whatsoever
will
not
fall
naturally
under
one
of
these
heads
,
believe
me
,
Sir
,
will
not
be
worthy
of
your
thoughts
,
in
this
capacity
we
now
speak
of
.
And
of
these
sorts
,
I
warrant
you
,
you
will
finde
enough
to
keep
you
in
business
.
I
begin
with
the
first
,
which
concerns
Religion
.
1.
In
the
first
place
,
be
you
your self
rightly
perswaded
and
setled
in
the
true
Protestant
Religion
,
professed
by
the
Church
of
England
;
which
doubtlesse
is
as
sound
and
orthodox
in
the
doctrine
thereof
,
as
any
Christian
Church
in
the
world
.
2.
In
this
you
need
not
be
a
Monitor
to
your
gracious
Master
the
King
;
the
chiefest
of
his
Imperial
Titles
,
is
to
be
The
Defender
of
the
Faith
;
and
his
learning
is
eminent
,
not
onely
above
other
Princes
,
but
above
other
men
;
be
but
his
scholar
,
and
you
are
safe
in
that
.
3.
For
the
Discipline
of
the
Church
of
England
,
by
Bishops
,
&c.
I
will
not
positively
say
,
as
some
do
,
that
it
's
Jure
Divino
;
but
this
I
say
,
and
think
,
〈◊〉
animo
,
that
it
is
the
neerest
to
Apostolical
truth
;
and
confidently
I
shall
say
,
it
is
fittest
for
Monarchy
of
all
others
:
I
will
use
no
other
authority
to
you
,
than
that
excellent
Proclamation
set
out
by
the
King
himself
in
the
first
year
of
his
Reign
,
and
annexed
before
the
Book
of
Common
Prayer
;
which
I
desire
you
to
read
;
and
if
at
any
time
there
shall
be
the
least
motion
made
for
Innovation
,
to
put
the
King
in
minde
to
read
it
himself
:
It
is
most
dangerous
in
a
State
to
give
ear
to
the
least
alterations
in
Government
.
4.
Take
heed
,
I
beseech
you
,
that
you
be
not
an
instrument
to
countenance
the
Romish
Catholicks
:
I
cannot
flatter
;
the
world
believes
that
some
near
in
blood
to
you
are
too
much
of
that
perswasion
;
you
must
use
them
with
fit
respects
,
according
to
the
bonds
of
nature
;
but
you
are
of
kin
,
and
so
a
friend
to
their
persons
,
not
to
their
errors
.
5.
The
Arch-Bishops
and
Bishops
,
next
under
the
King
,
have
the
government
of
the
Church
and
Ecclesastical
affairs
;
be
not
you
the
mean
to
prefer
any
to
those
places
,
for
any
by-respects
,
but
onely
for
their
learning
,
gravity
and
worth
;
their
lives
and
Doctrine
ought
to
be
exemplary
.
6.
For
Deans
,
and
Canons
or
Prebends
of
Cathedral
Churches
:
In
their
first
institution
they
were
of
great
use
in
the
Church
;
they
were
not
onely
to
be
of
Council
with
the
Bishop
for
his
revenue
,
but
chiefly
for
his
Government
in
causes
Ecclesiastical
;
use
your
best
means
to
prefer
such
to
those
places
who
are
fit
for
that
purpose
,
men
eminent
for
their
learning
,
piety
,
and
discretion
,
and
put
the
King
often
in
minde
thereof
;
and
let
them
be
reduced
again
to
their
first
institution
.
7.
You
will
be
often
sollicited
,
and
perhaps
importuned
to
prefer
Scholars
to
Church-Livings
;
you
may
further
your
friends
in
that
way
,
caeteris
peribus
;
otherwise
,
remember
,
I
pray
,
that
these
are
not
places
meerly
of
favour
,
the
charge
of
souls
lies
upon
them
;
the
greatest
account
whereof
will
be
required
at
their
own
hands
;
but
they
will
share
deeply
in
their
faults
who
are
the
instruments
of
their
preferment
.
8.
Besides
the
Romish
Catholicks
,
there
is
a
generation
of
Sectaries
,
the
Anabaptists
,
Brownists
,
and
others
,
of
their
kinds
;
they
have
been
several
times
very
busie
in
this
Kingdom
,
under
the
colour
of
zeal
for
reformation
of
Religion
:
The
King
your
Mr.
knows
their
disposition
very
well
;
a
small
touch
will
put
him
in
minde
of
them
;
he
had
experience
of
them
in
Scotland
,
I
hope
he
will
beware
of
them
in
England
;
a
little
countenance
or
connivance
sets
them
on
fire
.
9.
Order
and
decent
ceremonies
in
the
Church
,
are
not
onely
comely
but
commendable
;
but
th●●
must
be
great
care
,
not
to
introduce
Innovatio
〈…〉
they
will
quickly
prove
scandalous
:
men
are
〈…〉
rally
over-prone
to
suspition
;
the
true
Pr
〈…〉
Religion
is
seated
in
the
golden
mean
;
the
〈◊〉
unto
her
,
are
the
extreams
on
either
●and
.
10.
The
persons
of
Church-men
are
to
be
〈◊〉
in
due
respect
,
for
their
words-sake
,
and
protected
from
scorn
:
but
if
a
Clergy-man
be
loose
and
〈…〉
dalous
,
he
must
not
be
patroniz'd
nor
wink
't
at
;
the
example
of
a
few
such
,
corrupt
many
.
11.
Great
care
must
be
taken
,
that
the
patrimony
of
the
Church
be
not
sacrilegiously
diverted
〈◊〉
lay-uses
:
His
Majesty
in
his
time
hath
religio
〈…〉
stopped
a
leak
that
did
much
harm
,
and
would
〈◊〉
have
done
more
.
Be
sure
,
as
much
as
in
you
lyes
,
stop
the
like
upon
all
occasions
.
12.
Colledges
and
Schools
of
Learning
are
to
be
cherished
and
encouraged
,
thereto
breed
up
a
〈◊〉
stock
to
furnish
the
Church
and
Common-wealth
,
when
the
old
store
are
transplanted
.
This
Kingdom
hath
in
later
ages
been
famous
for
good
literature
;
and
if
preferment
shall
attend
the
deservers
,
there
will
not
want
supplies
.
Next
to
Religion
,
let
your
care
be
to
promote
Justice
.
By
justice
and
mercy
is
the
Kings
thro●●
established
.
1.
Let
the
rule
of
Justice
be
the
Laws
of
the
Land
,
an
impartial
arbiter
between
the
King
and
his
people
,
and
between
one
Subject
and
another
:
I
shall
not
speak
superlatively
of
them
,
left
I
be
su●pected
of
partiality
,
in
regard
of
my
own
profession
;
but
this
I
may
truly
say
,
they
are
second
to
none
in
the
Christian
world
.
2.
And
,
as
far
as
it
may
lie
in
you
,
let
no
Arbitrary
power
be
intruded
:
the
people
of
this
Kingdome
love
the
Laws
thereof
,
and
nothing
will
oblige
them
more
,
then
a
confidence
of
the
free
enjoying
of
them
.
What
the
Nobles
,
upon
an
occasions
once
said
in
Parliament
,
Nolumus
leges
Anglia
mutari
,
is
imprinted
in
the
hearts
of
all
the
people
.
3.
But
because
the
life
of
the
Laws
lies
in
the
due
execution
and
administration
of
them
,
let
your
eye
be
in
the
first
place
,
upon
the
choice
of
good
Judges
:
These
properties
had
they
need
to
be
furnished
with
;
To
be
learned
in
their
profession
,
patient
in
hearing
,
prudent
in
governing
,
powerful
in
their
elocution
to
perswade
&
satisfie
both
the
parties
and
●earers
,
just
in
their
judgement
;
and
,
to
sum
up
all
,
they
must
have
these
three
Attributes
;
They
must
be
men
of
courage
,
fearing
God
,
and
bating
covet
〈…〉
e
;
An
ignorant
man
cannot
,
a
Coward
dares
not
be
a
good
Judge
.
4.
By
no
means
be
you
perswaded
to
interpose
your self
,
either
by
word
or
letter
,
in
any
cause
depending
,
or
like
to
be
depending
in
any
Court
of
Justice
,
nor
suffer
any
other
great
man
to
do
it
where
you
can
hinder
it
;
and
by
all
means
disswade
the
King
himself
from
it
,
upon
the
importunity
of
〈◊〉
for
themselves
or
their
friends
:
If
it
should
prevail
,
it
perverts
Justice
;
but
if
the
Judge
be
so
just
,
and
of
such
courage
(
as
he
ought
to
be
)
as
not
to
be
enclined
thereby
,
yet
it
always
leaves
a
〈◊〉
of
suspition
behind
it
.
Judges
must
be
as
chaste
as
Caesar's
Wife
,
neither
to
be
,
nor
to
be
suspected
to
be
,
unjust
;
and
Sir
,
the
honour
of
the
Judges
in
their
judicature
,
is
the
Kings
honour
whom
they
represent
.
5.
There
is
great
use
of
the
service
of
the
Judges
in
their
Circuits
,
which
are
twice
in
the
year
held
throughout
the
Kingdome
;
the
tryal
of
a
few
causes
between
party
and
party
,
or
delivering
of
the
Gaols
in
several
Counties
,
are
of
great
use
for
the
expedition
of
justice
;
yet
they
are
of
much
more
use
for
the
government
of
the
Counties
through
which
they
pass
,
if
that
were
well
thought
upon
.
6.
For
if
they
had
instructions
to
that
purpose
,
they
might
be
the
best
intelligencers
to
teh
King
,
of
the
true
state
of
his
whole
Kingdome
,
of
the
disposition
of
the
people
,
of
their
inclinations
,
of
their
intentions
and
motions
,
which
are
necessary
to
be
truly
understood
.
7.
To
this
end
,
I
could
wish
,
that
against
every
Circuit
all
the
Judges
should
,
sometimes
by
the
K.
himself
,
and
sometimes
by
the
Lord
Chancellor
or
Lord
Keeper
,
in
the
King's
name
,
receive
a
charge
of
those
things
which
the
present
times
did
much
require
;
and
at
their
return
should
deliver
a
faithful
account
thereof
,
and
how
they
found
and
left
the
Counties
through
which
they
passed
,
and
in
which
they
kept
their
Assizes
.
8.
And
that
they
might
the
better
perform
this
work
,
which
might
be
of
great
importance
,
it
will
not
be
amiss
that
sometimes
this
charge
be
publick
,
as
it
useth
to
be
in
the
Star-Chamber
at
the
end
of
the
Terms
next
before
the
Circuit
begins
,
where
the
King's
care
of
justice
,
and
the
good
of
his
people
,
may
be
published
;
and
that
sometimes
also
it
may
be
private
,
to
communicate
to
the
Judges
some
things
not
so
fit
to
be
publickly
delivered
.
9.
I
could
wish
also
that
the
Judges
were
directed
to
make
a
little
longer
stay
in
a
place
than
usually
they
do
;
a
day
more
in
a
County
would
be
a
very
good
addition
,
(
although
their
wages
for
their
Circuits
were
increased
in
proportion
)
it
would
stand
better
with
the
gravity
of
their
employment
;
whereas
now
they
are
sometimes
enforced
to
rise
over-early
,
and
to
sit
over-late
,
for
the
dispatch
of
their
businesse
,
to
the
extraordinary
trouble
of
themselves
and
of
the
people
,
their
times
indeed
not
being
●orae
juridic●
;
And
,
which
is
the
main
,
they
would
have
the
more
leisure
to
inform
themseves
(
quasi
aliud
agentes
)
of
the
true
estate
of
the
Country
.
10.
The
attendence
of
the
Sheriffs
of
the
Counties
,
accompanied
with
the
principal
Gentlemen
,
in
a
comely
,
not
a
costly
equipage
,
upon
the
Judges
of
Assize
at
their
coming
to
the
place
of
their
sitting
,
and
at
their
going
out
,
is
not
onely
a
civility
,
but
of
use
also
:
It
raiseth
a
reverence
to
the
persons
and
places
of
the
Judges
,
who
coming
from
the
King
himself
on
so
great
an
errand
,
should
not
be
neglected
.
11.
If
any
sue
to
be
made
a
Judge
,
for
my
own
part
,
I
should
suspect
him
;
but
if
either
directly
or
indirectly
he
should
bargain
for
a
place
of
judicature
,
let
him
be
rejected
with
shame
:
vendere
jure
potest
,
em●rat
ille
prius
.
12.
When
the
place
of
a
chief
Judge
of
a
Court
becomes
vacant
,
a
puisne
Judge
of
that
Court
,
or
of
another
Court
,
who
hath
approved
himself
fit
and
deserving
,
would
be
sometimes
preferred
;
it
would
be
a
good
encouragement
for
him
,
and
for
others
,
by
his
example
.
13.
Next
to
the
Judge
,
there
would
be
care
used
in
the
choice
of
such
as
are
called
to
the
degree
of
Ser
jeants
at
Law
(
for
such
they
must
be
first
,
before
they
be
made
Judges
)
none
should
be
made
Serjeants
,
but
such
as
probably
might
be
held
fit
to
be
Judges
afterwards
,
when
the
experience
at
the
Barr
hath
fitted
them
for
the
Bench
:
Therefore
by
all
means
cry
down
that
unworthy
course
of
late
times
used
,
that
they
should
pay
moneys
for
it
.
It
may
satisfie
some
Courtiers
,
but
it
is
no
honou●
to
the
person
so
preferred
,
nor
to
the
King
,
who
thus
prefers
him
.
14.
For
the
Kings
Counsel
at
the
Law
,
especially
his
Attorney
and
Solicitor
General
,
I
need
say
nothing
;
their
continual
use
for
the
Kings
service
,
not
onely
for
his
Revenue
,
but
for
all
the
parts
of
his
Government
,
will
put
the
King
,
and
all
those
who
love
his
service
,
in
minde
to
make
choice
of
men
every
way
fit
and
able
for
that
employment
:
they
had
need
to
be
learned
in
their
prosession
,
and
not
ignorant
in
other
things
;
and
to
be
dexterous
in
those
affairs
where
of
the
dispatch
is
committed
to
them
.
15.
The
Kings
Attorney
of
the
Court
of
Ward●
is
in
the
true
quality
of
the
Judges
;
therefore
what
hath
been
observed
already
of
Judges
,
which
are
intended
principally
of
the
three
great
Courts
of
Law
at
Westminster
,
may
be
applied
to
the
choice
of
the
Attorney
of
this
Court
.
16.
The
like
for
the
Attorney
of
the
Dutchy
of
Lancaster
,
who
partakes
of
both
qualities
,
partly
of
a
Judge
of
that
Court
,
and
partly
of
an
Attorney
General
;
for
so
much
as
concerns
the
proper
●evenue
of
the
Dutchy
.
17.
I
must
not
forget
the
Judges
of
the
four
Circuits
in
the
twelve
Shires
of
Wales
,
who
although
they
are
not
of
the
first
magnitude
,
nor
need
be
of
the
degree
of
the
Coyf
(
onely
the
chief
Justice
of
Chester
,
who
is
one
of
the
number
,
is
so
)
yet
are
they
considerable
in
the
choice
of
them
,
by
the
same
rules
as
the
other
Judges
are
;
and
they
sometimes
are
,
and
fitly
may
be
,
transplanted
into
the
higher
Courts
.
18.
There
are
many
Courts
(
as
you
see
)
some
superiour
,
some
provincial
,
and
some
of
a
lower
orb
;
It
were
to
be
wished
,
and
is
fit
to
be
so
ordered
,
that
every
of
them
keep
themselves
within
their
proper
spheres
.
The
harmony
of
justice
is
then
the
sweetest
,
when
there
is
no
jarring
about
the
jurisdiction
of
the
Courts
;
which
me-thinks
wisdome
cannot
much
differ
upon
,
their
true
bounds
being
for
the
most
part
so
clearly
known
.
19.
Having
said
thus
much
of
the
Judges
,
somewhat
will
be
fit
to
put
you
in
minde
concerning
the
principal
Ministers
of
Justice
:
and
in
the
first
,
of
the
High
Sheriffs
of
the
Counties
,
which
have
been
very
ancient
in
this
Kingdome
,
I
am
sure
before
the
Conquest
;
The
choice
of
them
I
commend
to
your
care
,
and
that
at
fit
times
you
put
the
King
in
minde
thereof
;
That
as
neer
as
may
be
they
be
such
as
are
fit
for
those
places
,
for
they
are
of
great
trust
and
power
:
The
Posse
Comitatus
,
the
power
of
the
whole
County
,
being
legally
committed
unto
them
.
20.
Therefore
it
is
agreeable
with
the
intention
of
the
Law
,
that
the
choice
of
them
should
be
by
the
commendation
of
the
great
Officers
of
the
Kingdom
,
and
by
the
advice
of
the
Judges
,
who
are
presumed
to
be
well
read
in
the
condition
of
the
Gentry
of
the
whole
Kingdom
:
And
although
the
King
may
do
it
of
himself
,
yet
the
old
way
is
the
good
way
.
21.
But
I
utterly
condemn
the
practice
of
the
latter
times
,
which
hath
lately
crept
into
the
Court
(
at
the
back-stairs
)
That
some
who
are
prick'd
for
Sheriffs
,
and
were
fit
,
should
get
out
of
the
Bill
;
and
others
who
were
neither
thought
upon
,
nor
worthy
to
be
,
should
be
nominated
,
and
both
for
money
.
22.
I
must
not
omit
to
put
you
in
minde
of
the
Lords
Lieutenants
,
and
Deputy-Lieutenants
of
the
Counties
:
their
proper
use
is
for
ordering
the
Military
affairs
,
in
order
to
an
invasion
from
abroad
,
or
a
rebellion
or
sedition
at
home
;
good
choice
should
be
made
of
them
,
and
prudent
instructions
given
to
them
,
and
as
little
of
the
Arbitrary
power
as
may
be
left
unto
them
;
and
that
the
Muster-Masters
,
and
their
Officers
under
them
,
incroach
not
upon
the
Subject
;
that
will
detract
much
from
the
King's
service
.
23.
The
Justices
of
Peace
are
of
great
use
;
Antiently
there
were
Conservators
of
the
peace
,
these
are
the
same
,
saving
that
several
Acts
of
Parliament
have
altered
their
denomination
,
and
enlarged
their
jurisdiction
in
many
particulars
;
The
fitter
they
are
for
the
peace
of
the
Kingdome
,
the
more
heed
ought
to
be
taken
in
the
choice
of
them
.
24.
But
negatively
,
this
I
shall
be
bold
to
say
,
that
none
should
be
put
into
either
of
those
Commissions
with
an
eye
of
favour
to
their
persons
,
to
give
them
countenance
or
reputation
in
the
places
where
they
live
,
but
for
the
King's
service
sake
;
nor
any
put
out
for
the
disfavour
of
any
great
man
:
It
hath
been
too
often
used
,
and
hath
been
no
good
service
to
the
King
.
25.
A
word
more
,
if
you
please
to
give
me
leave
,
for
the
true
rules
of
the
moderation
of
Justice
on
the
Kings
part
.
The
execution
of
justice
is
committed
to
his
Judges
,
which
seemeth
to
be
the
severer
part
:
but
the
milder
part
,
which
is
mercy
,
is
wholly
left
in
the
King
's
immediate
hand
:
And
Justice
and
Mercy
are
the
true
supporters
of
his
Royal
Throne
.
26.
If
the
King
shall
be
wholly
intent
upon
Justice
,
it
may
appear
with
an
over-rigid
aspect
;
but
if
he
shall
be
over-remiss
and
easie
,
it
draweth
upon
him
contempt
.
Examples
of
Justice
must
be
made
sometimes
for
terrour
to
some
;
Examples
of
Mercy
,
sometimes
,
for
comfort
to
others
:
the
one
procures
fear
,
and
the
other
love
.
A
King
must
be
both
feared
and
loved
,
else
he
is
lost
.
27.
The
ordinary
Courts
of
Justice
I
have
spoken
of
,
and
of
their
Judges
and
judicature
;
I
shall
put
you
in
minde
of
some
things
touching
the
High
Court
of
Parliament
in
England
,
which
is
superlative
;
and
therefore
it
will
behove
me
to
speak
the
more
warily
thereof
.
28.
For
the
institution
of
it
,
it
is
very
antient
in
this
Kingdom
:
It
consisteth
of
the
two
Houses
,
of
Peers
and
Commons
,
as
the
Members
;
and
of
the
King's
Majesty
,
as
the
head
of
that
great
body
:
By
the
King's
authority
alone
,
and
by
his
Writs
,
they
are
assembled
,
and
by
him
alone
they
are
prorogued
and
dissolved
;
but
each
House
may
adjourn
it self
.
29.
They
being
thus
Assembled
,
are
more
properly
a
Council
to
the
King
,
the
Councel
of
the
Kingdome
,
to
advise
his
Majesty
in
those
things
of
weight
and
difficulty
,
which
concern
both
the
King
and
People
,
then
a
Court.
30.
No
new
Laws
can
be
made
,
nor
old
Laws
abrogated
or
altered
,
but
by
common
consent
in
Parliament
,
where
Bills
are
prepared
and
presented
to
the
two
Houses
,
and
then
delivered
:
but
nothing
is
concluded
but
by
the
King
's
Royal
assent
;
They
are
but
Embroys
,
't
is
he
giveth
life
unto
them
.
31.
Yet
the
House
of
Peers
hath
a
power
of
Judicature
in
some
cases
;
properly
,
to
examine
,
and
then
to
affirm
,
or
if
there
be
cause
,
to
reverse
the
judgements
which
have
been
given
in
the
Court
of
King's
Bench
,
(
which
is
the
Court
of
highest
jurisdiction
in
the
Kingdome
,
for
ordinary
Judicature
)
but
in
these
cases
it
must
be
done
by
Writ
of
Error
in
Parliamento
:
And
thus
the
rule
of
their
proceedings
is
not
absoluta
potestas
,
as
in
making
new
Laws
(
in
that
conjuncture
as
before
)
but
limitata
potest
as
,
according
to
the
known
Laws
of
the
Land
.
32.
But
the
House
of
Commons
have
only
power
to
censure
the
Members
of
their
own
House
,
in
point
of
election
or
misdemeauors
,
in
or
towards
that
House
;
and
have
not
,
nor
ever
had
power
,
so
much
as
to
administer
an
Oath
to
prepare
a
judgement
.
33.
The
true
use
of
Parliaments
in
this
Kingdome
is
very
excellent
;
and
they
would
be
often
called
,
as
the
affairs
of
the
Kingdom
shall
require
;
and
continued
so
long
as
is
necessary
,
and
no
longer
,
for
then
they
be
but
burthens
to
the
people
,
by
reason
of
the
priviledges
justly
due
to
the
Members
of
the
two
Houses
and
their
Attendants
;
which
their
just
rights
and
priviledges
are
religiously
to
be
observed
and
maintained
;
but
if
they
should
be
unjustly
enlarged
beyond
their
true
bounds
,
they
might
lessen
the
just
power
of
the
Crown
,
it
borders
so
near
upon
popularity
.
34.
All
this
while
I
have
spoken
concerning
the
Common
Laws
of
England
,
generally
,
and
properly
so
called
,
because
it
is
most
general
and
common
to
almost
all
cases
and
causes
,
both
civil
and
criminal
:
But
there
is
also
another
Law
,
which
is
called
the
Civil
or
Ecclesiastical
Law
,
which
is
confined
to
some
few
heads
;
and
that
is
not
to
be
neglected
:
and
although
I
am
a
professor
of
the
Common-Law
,
yet
am
I
so
much
a
lover
of
Truth
and
of
Learning
,
and
of
my
native
Countrey
,
that
I
do
heartily
perswade
that
the
professors
of
that
Law
,
called
Civilians
(
because
the
Civil
Law
is
their
guide
)
should
not
be
discountenanced
nor
discouraged
;
else
whensoever
we
shall
have
o●ght
to
do
with
any
foreign
King
or
State
,
we
shall
be
at
a
miserable
losse
,
for
wa●t
of
Learned
men
in
that
profession
.
III.
I
come
now
to
the
consideration
of
those
things
which
concern
Councellors
of
State
,
The
Council
Table
,
and
the
great
Offices
and
Officers
of
the
Kingdome
,
which
are
those
who
for
the
most
part
furnish
out
that
honourable
Board
.
I.
Of
Councellors
,
there
are
two
sorts
:
The
first
,
Consiliarii
●ati
,
(
as
I
may
term
them
)
such
are
the
Prince
of
Wales
,
and
others
of
the
King's
Sons
(
when
he
hath
more
;
)
of
these
I
speak
no●
,
for
they
are
naturally
born
to
be
Councellors
to
the
KING
,
to
learn
the
art
of
Governing
betimes
.
2.
But
the
ordinary
sort
of
Councellors
are
such
as
the
King
,
out
of
a
due
consideration
of
their
worth
and
abilities
,
and
withal
,
of
their
fidelities
to
his
Person
and
to
his
Crown
,
calleth
to
be
of
Councel
with
him
in
his
ordinary
Government
.
And
the
Council-Table
is
so
called
,
from
the
place
where
they
ordinarily
assemble
and
sit
together
;
and
their
Oath
is
the
onely
ceremony
used
,
to
make
them
such
,
which
is
solemnly
given
unto
them
,
at
their
first
admission
:
These
honourable
persons
are
from
thenceforth
of
that
Board
and
Body
:
They
cannot
come
untill
they
be
thus
called
,
and
the
King
at
his
pleasure
may
spare
their
attendance
;
and
he
may
dispense
with
their
presence
there
,
which
at
their
own
pleasure
they
may
not
do
.
3.
This
being
the
quality
of
their
service
,
you
will
easily
judge
what
care
the
King
should
use
,
in
his
choice
of
them
;
It
behoveth
that
they
be
persons
of
great
trust
and
fidelity
,
and
also
of
wisdome
and
judgement
,
who
shall
thus
assist
in
bearing
up
the
King's
Throne
;
and
of
known
experience
in
publick
affairs
.
4.
Yet
it
may
not
be
unfit
to
call
some
of
young
years
,
to
train
them
up
in
that
Trade
,
and
so
fit
them
for
those
weighty
affairs
,
against
the
time
of
greater
maturity
;
and
some
also
for
the
honour
of
their
persons
:
But
these
two
sorts
not
to
be
tyed
to
so
strict
attendance
,
as
the
others
from
whom
the
present
dispatch
of
business
is
expected
.
5.
I
could
wish
that
their
number
might
not
be
so
over-great
,
the
persons
of
the
Councellors
would
be
the
more
venerable
.
And
I
know
that
Queen
Elizabeth
,
in
whose
time
I
had
the
happinesse
to
be
born
,
and
to
live
many
years
,
was
not
so
much
observed
,
for
having
a
numerous
,
as
a
wise
,
Councel
6.
The
duty
of
a
Privy-Councellor
to
a
King
,
I
conceive
,
is
,
not
onely
to
attend
the
Councel-board
,
at
the
times
appointed
,
and
there
to
consult
of
what
shall
be
propounded
;
But
also
to
study
those
things
which
may
advance
the
King's
honour
and
safety
,
and
the
good
of
the
Kingdome
,
and
to
communicate
the
same
to
the
King
,
or
to
his
fellow
Councellors
,
as
there
shall
be
occasion
.
And
this
,
Sir
,
will
concern
you
more
then
others
,
by
how
much
you
have
a
larger
share
in
his
affections
.
7.
And
one
thing
I
shall
be
bold
to
desire
you
to
recommend
to
his
Majesty
:
That
when
any
new
thing
shall
be
propounded
to
be
taken
into
consideration
,
that
no
Counsellor
should
suddenly
deliver
any
positive
opinion
thereof
;
it
is
not
so
easie
with
all
men
to
retract
their
opinions
,
although
there
shall
be
cause
for
it
:
But
onely
to
hear
it
,
and
at
the
most
but
to
break
it
,
at
first
,
that
it
may
be
the
better
understood
against
the
next
meeting
.
8.
When
any
matter
of
weight
hath
been
debated
,
and
seemeth
to
be
ready
for
a
resolution
;
I
wish
it
may
not
be
at
that
sitting
concluded
(
unless
the
necessity
of
the
time
press
it
)
lest
upon
second
cogitations
there
should
be
cause
to
alter
,
which
is
not
for
the
gravity
and
honour
of
that
Board
.
9.
I
wish
also
that
the
King
would
be
pleased
sometimes
to
be
present
at
that
Board
,
it
adds
a
Majesty
to
it
:
And
yet
not
to
be
too
frequently
there
,
that
would
render
it
lesse
esteemed
when
it
is
become
common
;
Besides
,
it
may
sometimes
make
the
Councellors
not
to
be
so
free
in
their
debates
in
his
presence
,
as
they
would
be
in
his
absence
.
10.
Besides
the
giving
of
Counsel
,
the
Councellors
are
bound
by
their
Duties
ex
vi
termini
,
as
well
as
by
their
Oaths
,
to
keep
counsel
;
therefore
are
they
called
de
Privato
Consilio
Regis
,
&
à
seeretioribus
consili●●
Regis
.
11.
One
thing
I
add
,
in
the
negative
,
which
is
not
fit
for
that
Board
,
the
entertaining
of
private
causes
,
of
meum
&
tuum
;
those
should
be
left
to
the
ordinary
course
and
Courts
of
Justice
.
12.
As
there
is
great
care
to
be
used
for
the
Councellors
themselves
to
be
chosen
,
so
there
is
of
the
Clerks
of
the
Council
also
,
for
the
secreting
of
their
Cousultations
;
and
methinks
,
it
were
fit
that
his
Majesty
be
speedily
moved
,
to
give
a
strict
charge
,
and
to
binde
it
with
a
solemn
order
(
if
it
be
not
already
so
done
)
that
no
copies
of
the
orders
of
that
Table
be
delivered
out
by
the
Clerks
of
the
Councel
,
but
by
the
order
of
the
Board
;
nor
any
not
being
a
Councellor
,
or
a
Clerk
of
the
Councel
,
or
his
Clerk
,
to
have
accesse
to
the
Councel-Books
:
and
to
that
purpose
,
that
the
servants
attending
the
Clerks
of
the
Councel
be
bound
to
secrecy
,
as
well
as
their
Masters
.
13.
For
the
great
Offices
and
Officers
of
the
Kingdome
,
I
shall
say
little
;
for
the
most
of
them
are
such
,
as
cannot
well
be
severed
from
the
Councellorship
;
and
therefore
the
same
rule
is
to
be
obseved
for
both
,
in
the
choice
of
them
:
In
the
general
,
onely
,
I
advise
this
,
let
them
be
set
in
those
places
for
which
they
are
probably
the
most
fit
.
14.
But
in
the
quality
of
the
persons
,
I
conceive
it
will
be
most
convenient
to
have
some
of
every
sort
,
(
as
in
the
time
of
Queen
Elizabeth
it
was
)
one
Bishop
at
the
least
,
in
respect
of
questions
touching
Religion
,
or
Church-Government
;
one
or
more
skilled
in
the
Laws
;
some
for
Martial
affairs
,
and
some
for
Foreign
affairs
:
By
this
mixture
one
will
help
another
,
in
all
things
that
shall
there
happen
to
be
moved
:
But
if
that
would
fail
,
it
will
be
a
safe
way
,
to
consult
with
some
other
able
persons
well
versed
in
that
point
which
is
the
subject
of
their
Consultation
,
which
yet
may
be
done
so
warily
,
as
may
not
discover
the
main
end
therein
.
IV.
In
the
next
place
,
I
shall
put
you
in
minde
of
the
Foreign
Negotiations
and
Embassies
,
to
or
with
Foreign
Princes
or
States
,
wherein
I
shall
be
little
able
to
serve
you
.
1.
Onely
I
will
tell
you
what
was
the
course
in
the
happy
dayes
of
Queen
Elizabeth
,
whom
it
will
be
no
dis-reputation
to
follow
:
She
did
vary
,
according
to
the
nature
of
the
employment
,
the
quality
of
the
persons
she
employed
;
which
is
a
good
rule
to
go
by
.
2.
If
it
were
an
Embassy
of
Gratulation
or
Ceremony
(
which
must
not
be
neglected
)
choice
was
made
of
some
noble
person
,
eminent
in
place
,
and
able
in
purse
,
and
he
would
take
it
as
a
mark
offavour
,
and
discharge
it
without
any
great
burthen
to
the
Queen's
Coffers
,
for
his
owne
honours
sake
.
3.
But
if
it
were
an
Embassie
of
weight
,
concerning
affairs
of
State
,
choice
was
made
of
some
sad
person
of
known
judgement
,
wisdome
and
experience
,
and
not
of
a
young
man
,
not
wayed
in
State-matters
;
nor
of
a
meer
formal
man
,
whatsoever
his
title
or
outside
were
.
4.
Yet
in
company
of
such
,
some
young
towardly
Noblemen
or
Gentlemen
were
usually
sent
also
,
as
Assistants
or
Attendants
,
according
to
the
quality
of
the
persons
,
who
might
be
thereby
prepared
and
fitted
for
the
like
employment
,
by
this
means
,
at
another
turn
.
5.
In
their
company
were
alwayes
sent
some
grave
and
sad
men
,
skilful
in
the
Civil
Laws
,
and
some
in
the
Languages
,
and
some
who
had
been
formerly
conversant
in
the
Courts
of
those
Princes
,
and
knew
their
wayes
;
these
were
Assistants
in
private
,
but
not
trusted
to
manage
the
Affairs
in
publick
;
that
would
detract
from
the
honour
of
the
principal
Embassador
.
6.
If
the
Negotiation
were
about
Merchants
affairs
,
then
were
the
persons
employed
for
the
most
part
Doctors
of
the
Civil
Law
,
assisted
with
some
other
discreet
men
;
and
in
such
the
charge
was
ordinarily
defrayed
by
the
Company
or
Society
of
Merchants
,
whom
the
Negotiation
concerned
.
7.
If
Legier
Embassadors
or
Agents
were
sent
to
remain
in
or
neer
the
Courts
of
those
Princes
or
States
(
as
it
was
ever
held
fit
,
to
observe
the
motions
,
and
to
hold
correspondency
with
them
,
upon
all
occasions
)
such
were
made
choice
of
,
as
were
presumed
to
be
vigilant
,
industrious
,
and
discreet
men
,
and
had
the
language
of
the
place
whither
they
were
sent
;
and
with
these
were
sent
such
as
were
hopeful
to
be
worthy
of
the
like
employment
at
another
time
.
8.
Their
care
was
,
to
give
true
and
timely
Intelligence
of
all
Occurrences
,
either
to
the
Queen
her self
,
or
the
Secretaries
of
State
,
unto
whom
they
had
their
immediate
relation
.
9.
Their
charge
was
always
born
by
the
Queen
,
duly
paid
out
of
the
Exchequer
,
in
such
proportion
,
as
,
according
to
their
qualities
and
places
might
give
them
an
honourable
subsistence
there
:
But
for
thereward
of
their
service
,
they
were
to
expect
it
upon
their
return
,
by
some
such
preferment
as
might
be
worthy
of
them
,
and
yet
be
little
burthen
to
the
Queens
Coffers
or
Revenues
.
10.
At
their
going
forth
,
they
had
their
general
Instructions
in
writing
,
which
might
be
communicated
to
the
Ministers
of
that
State
whither
they
were
sent
;
and
they
had
also
private
Instructions
,
upon
particular
occasions
;
and
at
their
return
,
they
did
always
render
an
account
of
some
things
to
the
Queen
her self
,
of
some
things
to
the
body
of
the
Council
,
and
of
some
others
to
the
Secretaries
of
State
,
who
made
use
of
them
,
or
communicated
them
,
as
there
was
cause
.
11.
In
those
days
there
was
a
constant
course
held
,
that
by
the
advice
of
the
Secretaries
,
or
some
principal
Councellors
,
there
were
always
sent
forth
into
several
parts
beyond
the
Seas
some
young
men
,
of
whom
good
hopes
were
conceived
of
their
towardlinesse
,
to
be
trained
up
,
and
made
fit
for
such
publick
Employments
,
and
to
learn
the
Languages
.
This
was
at
the
charge
of
the
Queen
,
which
was
not
much
,
for
they
travelled
but
as
private
Gentlemen
;
and
as
by
their
industry
their
deserts
did
appear
,
so
far
were
they
further
employed
or
rewarded
.
This
course
I
shall
recommend
unto
you
,
to
breed
up
a
Nursery
of
such
publick
Plants
.
V.
For
Peace
and
War
,
and
those
things
which
appertain
to
either
;
I
in
my
own
disposition
and
profession
am
wholly
for
peace
,
if
please
God
to
blesse
the
Kingdom
therewith
,
as
for
many
years
past
he
hath
done
:
and
,
1.
I
presume
I
shall
not
need
to
perswade
you
to
the
advancing
of
it
;
nor
shall
you
need
to
perswade
the
King
your
Master
therein
,
for
that
he
hath
hither
to
been
another
Solomon
in
this
our
Israel
;
and
the
Motto
which
he
hath
chosen
(
Beati
Pacifici
)
shews
his
own
judgement
:
But
he
must
use
the
means
to
preserve
it
,
else
such
a
jewel
may
be
lost
.
2.
God
is
the
God
of
Peace
(
it
is
one
of
his
Artributes
)
therefore
by
him
alone
we
must
pray
,
and
hope
to
continue
it
:
there
is
the
foundation
.
3.
And
the
King
must
not
neglect
the
just
ways
for
it
;
Justice
is
the
best
Protector
of
it
at
home
,
and
providence
for
War
is
the
best
prevention
of
it
from
abroad
.
4.
Wars
are
either
Foreign
or
Civil
;
for
the
Foreign
War
by
the
King
upon
some
neigbour
Nation
,
I
hope
we
are
secure
;
the
King
,
in
his
just
and
pious
disposition
,
is
not
inclinable
thereunto
;
his
Empire
is
long
enough
,
bounded
with
the
Ocean
,
as
if
the
very
situation
thereof
had
taught
the
King
and
People
to
set
up
their
rests
,
and
say
,
Ne
plus
ultra
.
5.
And
for
a
war
of
invasion
from
abroad
;
onely
we
must
not
be
over-secure
,
that
's
the
way
to
invite
it
.
6.
But
if
we
be
always
prepared
to
receive
an
Enemy
,
if
the
ambition
or
malice
of
any
should
incite
him
,
we
may
be
very
confident
we
shall
long
live
in
peace
and
quietnesse
,
without
any
attempt
upon
us
.
7.
To
make
the
preparations
hereunto
the
more
assured
:
In
the
first
place
,
I
will
recommend
unto
you
the
care
of
our
out-work
,
the
Navy
Royal
and
Shipping
of
our
Kingdome
,
which
are
the
walls
thereof
;
and
every
great
Ship
is
as
an
impregnable
sort
;
and
our
many
safe
and
commodious
Ports
and
Havens
in
every
of
these
Kingdomes
,
are
as
the
redoubts
to
secure
them
.
8.
For
the
body
of
the
Ships
,
no
Nation
of
the
world
doth
equal
England
,
for
the
Oaken
Timber
where
with
to
build
them
;
and
we
need
not
borrow
of
any
other
,
iron
for
Spikes
,
or
Nails
to
fasten
them
together
:
but
there
must
be
a
great
deal
of
providence
used
,
that
our
Ship-Timber
be
not
unnecessarily
wasted
.
9.
But
for
Tackling
,
as
Sails
and
Cordage
,
we
are
beholden
to
our
neighbours
for
them
,
and
do
buy
them
for
our
money
;
that
must
be
foreseen
and
layd
up
in
store
against
a
time
of
need
,
and
not
sought
for
when
we
are
to
use
them
:
But
we
are
much
too
blame
,
that
we
make
them
not
at
home
,
onely
Pitch
and
Tar
we
have
not
of
our
own
.
10.
For
the
true
Art
of
building
of
Ships
,
for
burthen
and
service
both
,
no
Nation
in
the
world
exceeds
us
:
Ship-wrights
and
all
other
Artizans
belonging
to
that
Trade
must
be
cherished
and
encouraged
.
11.
Powder
and
Ammunition
of
all
sorts
we
can
have
at
home
,
and
in
exchange
for
other
home
commodities
we
may
be
plentifully
supplied
from
our
Neighbours
,
which
must
not
be
neglected
.
12.
With
Mariners
and
Seamen
this
Kingdom
is
plentifully
furnished
,
the
constant
Trade
of
Merchandizing
will
furnish
us
at
a
need
;
and
navigable
Rivers
will
repair
the
store
,
both
to
the
Navy
Royal
,
and
to
the
Merchants
,
if
they
be
set
on
work
,
and
well
payed
for
their
labour
.
13.
Sea-Captains
and
Commanders
,
and
other
Officers
must
be
encouraged
,
and
rise
by
degrees
,
as
their
fidelity
and
industry
deserve
it
.
14.
Our
strict
League
of
amity
and
alliance
with
our
neere
Neighbours
the
Hollanders
is
a
mutual
strength
to
both
;
the
shipping
of
both
,
in
conjuncture
,
being
so
powerful
,
by
Gods
blessing
,
as
no
Foreigners
will
venture
upon
;
This
League
and
Friendship
must
inviolably
be
observed
.
15
From
Scotland
we
have
had
in
former
times
some
Alarms
and
Inrodes
into
the
Northern
parts
of
this
Kingdome
;
but
that
happy
union
of
both
Kingdomes
under
one
Soveraign
,
our
gracious
King
,
I
hope
,
hath
taken
away
all
occasions
of
breach
between
the
two
Nations
;
let
not
the
cause
arise
from
England
,
and
I
hope
the
Scots
will
not
adventure
it
;
or
if
they
do
,
I
hope
they
will
finde
,
that
although
to
our
King
they
were
his
first-born
Subjects
,
yet
to
England
belongs
the
birth-right
:
But
this
should
not
be
any
cause
to
offer
any
injury
to
them
,
nor
to
suffer
any
from
them
.
16.
There
remains
then
no
danger
,
by
the
blessing
of
God
,
but
a
Civil
War
,
from
which
God
of
his
mercy
defend
us
,
as
that
which
is
most
desperate
of
all
others
.
The
Kings
wisdome
and
justice
must
prevent
it
,
if
it
may
be
;
or
if
it
should
happen
,
quod
absit
,
he
must
quench
that
wilde-fire
with
all
the
diligence
that
possible
can
be
.
17.
Competition
to
the
Crown
,
there
is
none
,
nor
can
be
;
therefore
it
must
be
a
fire
within
the
bowels
,
or
nothing
,
the
cures
whereof
are
these
;
Remedium
praeveniens
,
which
is
the
best
physick
either
to
a
natural
bod
,
or
to
a
State
,
by
just
and
equal
Government
to
take
away
the
occasion
;
and
Remedium
puniens
,
if
the
other
prevail
not
:
The
service
and
vigilance
of
the
Deputy-Lieutenants
in
every
County
,
and
of
the
high-●heriff
,
will
contribute
much
herein
to
ou●
security
.
18.
But
if
that
should
not
prevail
,
by
a
wise
and
timous
inquisition
,
the
peccant
humours
and
humorists
must
be
discovered
,
and
purged
,
or
cut
off
;
mercy
in
such
a
case
,
in
a
King
,
is
truly
cruelty
.
19.
Yet
if
the
Heads
of
the
Tribes
can
be
taken
off
,
and
the
mis-led
multitude
will
see
their
errour
,
and
return
to
their
obedience
,
such
an
extent
of
mercy
is
both
honourable
and
profitable
.
20.
A
King
,
against
a
storm
,
must
fore-see
,
to
have
a
convenient
stock
of
treasure
:
and
neither
be
without
money
,
which
is
the
sinews
of
War
,
nor
to
depend
upon
the
courtesie
of
others
,
which
may
fail
at
a
pinch
.
21.
He
must
also
have
a
Magazine
of
all
sorts
,
which
must
be
had
from
Foreign
parts
,
or
provided
at
home
;
and
to
commit
them
to
several
places
,
under
the
custody
of
trusty
and
faithfull
Ministers
and
Officers
,
if
it
be
possible
.
22.
He
must
make
choice
of
expert
and
able
Commanders
to
conduct
and
manage
the
War
,
either
against
a
foreign
invasion
,
or
a
home-rebellion
;
which
must
not
be
young
and
giddy
,
which
dare
,
not
onely
to
fight
,
but
to
swear
,
and
drink
,
and
curse
;
neither
fit
to
govern
others
,
nor
able
to
govern
themselves
.
23.
Let
not
such
be
discouraged
,
if
they
deserve
well
,
by
mis-information
,
or
for
the
satisfying
the
humours
or
ambition
of
others
,
perhaps
out
of
envy
,
perhaps
out
of
treachery
,
or
other
sinister
ends
:
A
steady
hand
in
governing
of
Military
Affairs
,
is
more
requisite
then
in
times
of
peace
,
because
an
errour
committed
in
war
,
may
perhaps
prove
irremediable
.
24.
If
God
shall
blesse
these
endeavours
,
and
the
King
return
to
his
own
house
in
peace
,
when
a
Civil
War
shall
be
at
an
end
,
those
who
have
been
found
faithful
in
the
Land
must
be
regarded
,
yea
,
and
rewarded
also
;
the
traiterous
,
or
treacherous
,
who
have
misled
others
,
severely
punish'd
;
and
the
neutrals
,
and
false-hearted
friends
and
followers
,
who
have
started
afide
like
a
broken
bow
,
be
noted
,
Carbone
nigro
;
and
so
I
shall
leave
them
,
and
this
part
of
the
work
.
VI.
I
come
now
to
the
sixth
part
,
which
is
Trade
,
and
that
is
either
at
home
,
or
abroad
.
And
I
begin
with
that
which
is
at
home
;
which
enableth
the
Subjects
of
the
Kingdom
to
live
,
and
layeth
a
foundation
to
a
foreign
Trade
by
traffique
with
others
,
which
enableth
them
to
live
plentifully
and
happily
.
1.
For
the
Home-trade
,
I
first
commend
unto
your
consideration
the
encouragement
of
Tillage
,
which
will
enable
the
Kingdom
for
Corn
for
the
Natives
,
and
to
spare
for
exportation
:
And
I
my self
have
known
,
more
than
once
,
when
in
times
of
dearth
,
in
Queen
Elizabeth's
days
,
it
drained
much
coin
of
the
Kingdom
,
to
furnish
us
with
Corn
from
foreign
parts
.
2.
Good
Husbands
will
finde
the
means
by
good
husbandry
,
to
improve
their
lands
by
Lime
,
Chalk
,
Marl
,
or
Sea-sand
,
where
it
can
be
had
:
But
it
will
not
be
amiss
,
that
they
be
put
in
minde
thereof
,
and
encouraged
in
their
industries
.
3.
Planting
of
Orchards
in
a
soil
and
air
fit
for
them
,
is
very
profitable
,
as
well
as
pleasureable
;
Sider
and
Perry
are
notable
Beverage
in
Sea-voyages
.
4.
Gardens
are
also
very
profitable
,
if
planted
with
Artichokes
,
roots
,
and
such
other
things
as
are
fit
for
food
;
whence
they
are
called
Kitchin-gardens
,
and
that
very
properly
.
5.
The
planting
of
Hop-yards
,
sowing
of
Woad
,
and
Rape-seed
,
are
found
very
profitable
for
the
Planters
,
in
places
apt
for
them
,
and
consequently
profitable
for
the
Kingdome
,
which
for
divers
years
was
furnished
with
them
from
beyond
the
Seas
.
6.
The
planting
and
preserving
of
Woods
,
especially
of
Timber
,
is
not
onely
profitable
,
but
commendable
,
therewith
to
furnish
posterity
,
both
for
building
and
shipping
.
7.
The
Kingdom
would
be
much
improved
,
by
draining
of
drowned
lands
,
and
gaining
that
in
from
the
over-flowing
of
salt
waters
and
the
sea
,
and
from
fresh
waters
also
.
8.
And
many
of
those
grounds
would
be
exceeding
fit
for
Dairies
;
which
,
being
well
houswiv●d
are
exceeding
commodious
.
9.
Much
good
land
might
be
gained
from
Forests
and
Chases
,
more
remote
from
the
King's
access
,
and
from
other
commonable
places
;
so
as
always
there
be
a
due
care
taken
,
that
the
poor
Commoners
have
no
injury
by
such
improvement
.
10.
The
making
of
navigable
Rivers
would
be
very
profitable
;
they
would
be
as
so
many
indraughts
of
wealth
,
by
conveying
of
commodities
with
ease
from
place
to
place
.
11.
The
planting
of
Hemp
and
Flax
would
be
an
unknown
advantage
to
the
Kingdome
,
many
places
therein
being
as
apt
for
it
,
as
any
Forreign
parts
.
12.
But
add
hereunto
,
that
it
be
converted
into
Linen-cloath
,
or
Cordage
,
the
commodity
thereof
will
be
multiplied
.
13.
So
it
is
of
the
Wools
and
Leather
of
the
Kingdome
,
if
they
be
converted
into
Manufactures
.
14.
Our
English
Dames
are
much
given
to
the
wearing
of
costly
Laces
;
and
,
if
they
be
brought
from
Italy
,
or
France
,
or
Flanders
,
they
are
in
great
esteem
;
whereas
,
if
the
like
Laces
were
made
by
the
English
,
so
much
threed
as
would
make
a
yard
of
Lace
,
being
put
into
that
Manufacture
,
would
be
five
times
,
or
perhaps
ten
,
or
twenty
times
the
value
.
15.
The
breeding
of
Cattel
is
of
much
profit
,
especially
the
breed
of
Horses
,
in
many
places
,
not
onely
for
travel
,
but
for
the
great
saddle
;
the
English
Horse
,
for
strength
,
and
courage
,
and
swiftnesse
together
,
not
being
inferiour
to
the
horses
of
any
other
Kingdome
.
16.
The
Minerals
of
the
Kingdom
,
of
Lead
,
Tron
,
Copper
,
and
Tynn
especially
,
are
of
great
value
,
and
set
many
able-bodied
subjects
on
work
;
it
were
great
pity
they
should
not
be
industriously
followed
.
17.
But
of
all
Minerals
,
there
is
none
like
to
that
of
Fishing
upon
the
coasts
of
these
Kingdomes
,
and
the
seas
belonging
to
them
:
our
Neighbors
within
half
a
days
sail
of
us
,
with
a
good
winde
,
can
shew
us
the
use
and
value
thereof
;
and
,
doubtlesse
there
is
sea-room
enough
for
both
Nations
,
without
offending
one
another
;
and
it
would
exceedingly
support
the
Navy
.
18.
This
Realm
is
much
enriched
,
of
late
years
,
by
the
Trade
of
Merchandize
which
the
English
drive
in
Foreign
parts
;
and
,
if
it
be
wisely
managed
,
it
must
of
necessity
very
much
increase
the
wealth
thereof
;
care
being
taken
,
that
the
exportation
exceed
in
value
the
importation
,
for
then
the
balance
of
Trade
must
of
necessity
be
returned
in
Coin
,
or
Bullion
.
19.
This
would
easily
be
effected
,
if
the
Merchants
were
perswaded
,
or
compelled
to
make
their
returns
in
solid
commodities
,
and
not
too
much
thereof
in
vanity
,
tending
to
excess
.
20.
But
especially
care
must
be
taken
,
that
Monopolies
,
which
are
the
Cankers
of
all
trading
,
be
not
admitted
,
under
specious
colours
of
publick
good
.
21.
To
put
all
these
into
a
regulation
,
if
a
constant
Commission
to
men
of
honesty
and
understanding
were
granted
,
and
well
pursued
,
to
give
order
for
the
managing
of
these
things
both
at
home
and
abroad
,
to
the
best
advantage
;
and
that
this
Commission
were
subordinate
to
the
Councel-board
,
it
is
conceived
it
would
produce
notable
effects
.
VII
.
The
next
thing
is
that
of
Colonies
and
Foreign
Plantations
,
which
are
very
necessary
,
as
out-lets
to
a
populous
Nation
,
and
may
be
profitable
also
,
if
they
be
managed
in
a
discreet
way
.
1.
First
,
in
the
choice
of
the
place
;
which
requireth
many
circumstances
,
as
the
situation
neer
the
Sea
,
for
the
commodiousness
of
an
intercourse
with
England
,
the
temper
of
the
Air
and
climate
,
as
may
best
agree
with
the
bodies
of
the
English
,
rather
inclining
to
cold
,
than
heat
;
that
it
be
stored
with
Woods
,
Mines
,
and
Fruits
,
which
are
naturally
in
the
place
;
that
the
soil
be
such
as
will
probably
be
fruitful
for
Corn
,
and
other
conveniencies
,
&
for
breeding
of
Cattel
;
that
it
hath
Rivers
,
both
for
passage
between
place
and
place
,
and
for
fishing
also
,
if
it
may
be
;
that
the
Natives
be
not
so
many
,
but
that
there
may
be
elbow-room
enough
for
them
,
and
for
the
Adventives
also
:
All
which
are
likely
to
be
found
in
the
West-Indies
.
2.
It
would
be
also
such
as
is
not
already
planted
by
the
Subjects
of
any
Christian
Prince
,
or
State
,
nor
over-neerly
neighbouring
to
their
Plantation
.
And
it
would
be
more
convenient
,
to
be
chosen
by
some
of
those
Gentlemen
or
Merchants
which
move
first
in
the
work
,
than
to
be
designed
unto
them
from
the
King
;
for
it
must
proceed
from
the
option
of
the
people
,
else
it
sounds
like
an
Exile
:
so
the
Colonies
must
be
raised
by
the
leave
of
the
King
,
and
not
by
his
command
.
3.
After
the
place
is
made
choice
of
,
the
first
step
must
be
,
to
make
choice
of
a
fit
Governour
,
who
although
he
have
not
the
name
,
yet
he
must
have
the
power
of
a
Vice-Roy
;
and
if
the
person
who
principally
moved
in
the
work
be
not
fit
for
that
trust
,
yet
he
must
not
be
excluded
from
command
;
but
then
his
defect
in
the
Governing
part
must
be
supplied
by
such
Assistants
as
shall
be
joyned
with
him
,
or
as
he
shall
very
well
approve
of
.
4.
As
at
their
setting
out
they
must
have
their
Commission
,
or
Letters
Patents
from
the
King
,
that
so
they
may
acknowledge
their
dependency
upon
the
Crown
of
England
,
and
under
his
protection
;
so
they
must
receive
some
general
instructions
how
to
dispose
of
themselves
when
they
come
there
,
which
must
be
in
nature
of
Lawes
unto
them
.
5.
But
the
general
Law
,
by
which
they
must
be
guided
and
governed
,
must
be
the
Common
Law
of
England
;
and
to
that
end
it
will
be
fit
,
that
some
man
,
reasonably
studied
in
the
Law
,
and
otherwise
qualified
for
such
a
purpose
,
be
perswaded
(
if
not
thereunto
inclined
of
himself
,
which
were
the
best
)
to
go
thither
as
a
Chancellor
amongst
them
,
at
first
;
and
when
the
Plantation
were
more
setled
,
then
to
have
Courts
of
Justice
there
,
as
in
England
.
6.
At
the
first
planting
,
or
as
soon
after
as
they
can
,
they
must
make
themselves
defensible
both
against
the
Natives
,
and
against
Strangers
;
and
to
that
purpose
,
they
must
have
the
assistance
of
some
able
Military
man
,
and
convenient
Arms
and
Ammunition
for
their
defence
.
7.
For
the
Discipline
of
the
Church
in
those
parts
,
it
will
be
necessary
,
that
it
agree
with
that
which
is
setled
in
England
;
else
it
will
make
a
Schism
,
and
a
rent
in
Christs
Coat
,
which
must
be
seamless
:
and
,
to
that
purpose
,
it
will
be
fit
,
that
by
the
King
's
supream
power
in
.
Causes
Ecclesiastical
,
within
all
his
Dominions
,
they
be
subordinate
under
some
Bishop
and
Bishoprick
of
this
Realm
.
8.
For
the
better
defence
against
a
common
Enemy
,
I
think
it
would
be
best
,
that
Foreign
Plantations
should
be
placed
in
one
Continent
,
and
neer
together
;
whereas
,
if
they
be
too
remote
the
one
from
the
other
,
they
will
be
dis-united
,
and
so
the
weaker
.
9.
They
must
provide
themselves
of
houses
,
such
as
for
the
present
,
they
can
,
and
,
at
more
leisure
,
such
as
may
be
better
;
and
they
first
must
plant
for
Corn
and
Cattel
,
&c.
for
food
,
and
necessary
sustenance
;
and
after
,
they
may
enlarge
themselves
for
those
things
which
may
be
for
profit
and
pleasure
,
and
to
traffique
withal
also
.
10.
Woods
for
shipping
in
the
first
place
,
may
doubtlesse
be
there
had
,
and
Minerals
there
found
,
perhaps
,
of
the
richest
;
howsoever
,
the
Mines
out
of
the
fruits
of
the
earth
,
and
seas
,
and
waters
adjoyning
,
may
be
found
in
abundance
.
11.
In
a
short
time
they
may
build
Vessels
and
Ships
also
for
Traffique
with
the
parts
neer
adjoyning
,
and
with
England
also
,
from
whence
they
may
be
furnished
with
such
things
as
they
may
want
,
and
in
exchange
,
or
barter
,
send
from
thence
other
things
,
with
which
quickly
,
either
by
Nature
,
or
Art
,
they
may
abound
.
12.
But
these
things
would
,
by
all
means
be
prevented
;
That
no
known
Bankrupt
,
for
shelter
;
nor
known
Murderer
,
or
other
wicked
person
,
to
avoid
the
Law
;
nor
known
Heretick
,
or
Schismatick
,
be
suffered
to
go
into
those
Countreys
;
or
,
if
they
do
creep
in
there
,
not
to
be
harboured
▪
or
continued
:
else
,
the
place
would
receive
them
naught
,
and
return
them
into
England
,
upon
all
occasions
,
worse
.
13.
That
no
Merchant
,
under
colour
of
driving
a
Trade
thither
,
or
from
thence
,
be
suffered
to
work
upon
their
necessities
.
14.
And
that
to
regulate
all
these
inconveniences
,
which
will
insensibly
grow
upon
them
,
that
the
King
be
pleased
to
erect
a
subordinate
Council
in
England
,
whose
care
and
charge
shall
be
,
to
advise
,
and
put
in
execution
,
all
things
which
shall
be
found
fit
for
the
good
of
those
new
Plantations
;
who
,
upon
all
occasions
,
shall
give
an
account
of
their
proceedings
to
the
King
,
or
to
the
Councel-board
,
and
from
them
receive
such
directions
as
may
best
agree
with
the
Government
of
that
place
.
15.
That
the
King
's
reasonable
profit
be
not
neglected
,
partly
,
upon
reservation
of
moderate
rents
and
services
;
and
partly
upon
Customs
;
and
partly
,
upon
importation
and
exportation
of
Merchandize
;
which
,
for
a
convenient
time
after
the
Plantation
begin
,
would
be
very
easie
,
to
encourage
the
work
;
but
,
after
it
is
well
setled
,
may
be
raised
to
a
considerable
proportion
,
worthy
the
acceptation
.
VIII
.
I
come
to
the
last
of
those
things
which
I
propounded
,
which
is
,
the
Court
,
and
Curiality
.
The
other
did
properly
concern
the
King
,
in
his
Royal
capacity
,
as
Pater
patriae
;
this
more
properly
,
as
Paterfamilias
:
And
herein
,
1.
I
shall
,
in
a
word
,
and
but
in
a
word
onely
,
put
you
in
minde
,
That
the
King
in
his
own
person
,
both
in
respect
of
his
Houshold
,
or
Court
,
and
in
respect
of
his
whole
Kingdom
;
(
for
a
little
Kingdom
is
but
as
a
great
Houshold
,
and
a
great
Houshold
,
as
a
little
Kingdom
)
must
be
exemplary
,
Regis
ad
exemplum
,
&c.
But
for
this
,
God
be
praised
,
our
charge
is
easie
;
for
your
gracious
Master
,
for
his
Learning
and
Piety
,
Justice
and
Bounty
,
may
be
,
and
is
,
not
onely
a
president
to
his
own
Subjects
,
but
to
foreign
Princes
also
;
yet
he
is
still
but
a
man
,
and
seasonable
Memento's
may
be
useful
;
and
being
discreetly
used
,
cannot
but
take
well
with
him
.
2.
But
your
greatest
care
must
be
,
that
the
great
men
of
his
Court
(
for
you
must
give
me
leave
to
be
plain
with
you
,
for
so
is
your
injunction
laid
upon
me
)
your self
in
the
first
place
,
who
is
first
in
the
eye
of
all
men
,
give
no
just
cause
of
scandal
,
either
by
light
,
or
vaine
,
or
by
oppressive
carriage
.
3.
The
great
Officers
of
the
King's
Houshold
had
need
be
both
discreet
and
provident
persons
,
both
for
his
Honour
,
and
for
his
Thrift
:
they
must
look
both
ways
,
else
they
are
but
half-sighted
:
Yet
in
the
choice
of
them
,
there
is
more
latitude
left
to
affection
,
than
in
the
choice
of
Councellors
,
and
of
the
great
Officers
of
State
,
before
touched
,
which
must
always
be
made
choice
of
meerly
out
of
judgement
,
for
in
them
the
Publick
hath
a
great
interest
.
4.
For
the
other
Ministerial
Officers
in
Court
(
as
,
for
distinction
sake
,
they
may
be
termed
)
there
must
be
also
an
eye
unto
them
,
and
upon
them
;
they
have
usually
risen
in
the
Houshold
by
degrees
,
and
it
is
a
noble
way
,
to
encourage
faithful
service
:
But
the
King
must
not
binde
himself
to
a
necessity
herein
,
for
then
it
will
be
held
ex
debito
;
neither
must
he
alter
it
,
without
an
apparent
cause
for
it
:
but
to
displace
any
who
are
in
,
upon
displeasure
,
which
for
the
most
part
happeneth
upon
the
information
of
some
great
man
,
is
,
by
all
means
to
be
avoided
,
unlesse
there
be
a
manifest
cause
for
it
.
5.
In
these
things
you
may
sometimes
interpose
,
to
do
just
and
good
offices
:
but
for
the
general
,
I
should
rather
advise
,
meddle
little
,
but
leave
the
ordering
of
those
Houshold-affairs
to
the
White-staff
,
which
are
those
honourable
persons
,
to
whom
it
properly
belongeth
,
to
be
answerable
to
the
King
for
it
;
and
to
those
other
Officers
of
the
Green-cloth
,
who
are
subordinate
to
them
,
as
a
kinde
of
Councel
,
and
a
Court
of
Justice
also
.
6.
Yet
for
the
Green-cloath
Law
,
(
take
it
in
the
largest
sense
)
I
have
no
opinion
of
it
,
farther
then
it
is
regulated
by
the
just
Rules
of
the
Common-Laws
of
England
.
7.
Towards
the
support
of
his
Majesties
own
Table
,
and
of
the
Princes
,
and
of
his
necessary
Officers
,
his
Majesty
hath
a
good
help
by
Purveyance
,
which
justly
is
due
unto
him
;
and
,
if
justly
used
,
is
no
great
burthen
to
the
Subject
;
but
by
the
Purveyors
,
and
other
under-Officers
,
is
many
times
abused
.
In
many
parts
of
the
Kingdome
,
I
think
it
is
already
reduced
to
a
certainty
in
money
;
and
if
it
be
indifferently
and
discreetly
managed
,
it
would
be
no
hard
matter
to
settle
it
so
throughout
the
whole
Kingdom
;
yet
to
be
renewed
from
time
to
time
,
for
that
will
be
the
best
,
and
safest
,
both
for
the
King
,
and
People
.
8.
The
King
must
be
put
in
minde
,
to
preserve
the
Revenues
of
his
Crown
both
certain
,
and
casual
,
without
diminution
,
and
to
lay
up
treasure
in
store
against
a
time
of
extreamity
;
empty
Coffers
give
an
ill
found
,
and
make
the
people
many
time
forget
their
Duty
;
thinking
that
the
King
must
be
beholden
to
them
for
his
supplies
.
9.
I
shall
by
no
means
think
it
fit
,
that
he
reward
any
of
his
servants
with
the
benefit
of
forfeitures
,
either
by
Fines
in
the
Court
of
Star-Chamber
,
or
High-Commission
Courts
,
or
other
Courts
of
Justice
;
or
that
they
should
be
farmed
out
,
or
bestowed
upon
any
,
so
much
as
by
promise
,
before
judgement
given
;
it
would
neither
be
profitable
,
nor
honourable
.
10.
Besides
matters
of
serious
consideration
,
in
the
Courts
of
Princes
,
there
must
be
times
for
pastimes
and
disports
:
When
there
is
a
Queen
,
and
Ladies
of
Honour
attending
her
,
there
must
sometimes
be
Masques
,
and
Revels
,
and
Enterludes
;
and
when
there
is
no
Queen
,
or
Princess
,
as
now
,
yet
at
Festivals
,
and
for
entertainment
of
Strangers
,
or
upon
such
occasions
,
they
may
be
fit
also
:
Yet
care
would
be
taken
,
that
in
such
cases
,
they
be
set
off
more
with
wit
and
activity
,
then
with
costly
and
wasteful
expences
.
11.
But
for
the
King
and
Prince
,
and
the
Lords
and
Chivalry
of
the
Court
,
I
rather
commend
,
in
their
turns
and
seasons
,
the
riding
of
the
great
Horse
,
the
Tilts
,
Barriers
,
Tennis
,
and
Hunting
,
which
are
more
for
the
health
and
strength
of
those
who
exercise
them
,
than
in
an
effeminate
way
to
lease
themselves
and
others
.
And
now
the
Prince
groweth
up
fast
to
be
a
man
,
and
is
of
a
sweet
and
excellent
disposition
;
it
would
he
an
irreparable
stain
and
dishonour
upon
you
,
having
that
accesse
unto
him
,
if
you
should
mis-led
him
,
or
suffer
him
to
be
mis-lead
by
any
flattering
Parasites
:
The
whole
Kingdom
hath
a
deep
interest
in
his
virtuous
education
;
and
if
you
,
keeping
that
distance
which
is
most
fit
,
do
humbly
interpose
your self
,
in
such
a
case
,
he
will
one
day
give
you
thanks
for
it
.
12.
Yet
Dice
and
Cards
may
sometimes
be
used
for
recreation
,
when
field-sports
cannot
be
had
;
but
not
to
use
it
as
a
mean
to
spend
the
time
,
much
less
to
mis-pend
the
thrift
of
the
Gamesters
.
SIR
,
I
shall
trouble
you
no
longer
;
I
have
run
●over
these
things
as
I
first
propounded
them
;
please
you
to
make
use
of
them
,
or
any
of
them
,
as
you
shall
see
occasion
;
or
to
lay
them
by
,
as
you
think
best
,
and
to
add
to
them
,
as
you
daily
may
,
out
of
your
experience
.
I
must
be
bold
again
,
to
put
you
in
minde
of
your
present
condition
;
you
are
in
the
quality
of
a
Sen●●el
;
if
you
sleep
,
and
neglect
your
charge
,
you
are
an
undone
man
,
and
you
may
fall
faster
than
you
have
risen
.
I
have
but
one
thing
more
to
minde
you
of
,
which
neerly
concerns
your self
;
you
serve
a
great
and
gracious
Master
,
and
there
is
a
most
hopeful
young
Prince
,
whom
you
must
not
desert
;
it
behoves
you
to
carry
your self
wisely
and
evenly
between
them
both
:
adore
not
so
the
rising
Son
,
that
you
forget
the
Father
,
who
raised
you
to
th●
height
;
nor
be
you
so
obsequious
to
the
Father
,
that
you
give
just
cause
to
the
Son
,
to
suspect
that
you
neglect
him
:
But
carry
your self
with
that
judgement
,
as
,
if
it
be
possible
,
may
please
and
content
them
both
,
which
,
truly
,
I
believe
,
will-
be
no
hard
matter
for
you
to
do
;
so
may
you
live
long
beloved
of
both
,
which
is
the
hearty
prayer
of
Your
most
obliged
and
devoted
servant
.
THese
were
his
Rules
,
and
this
his
practice
:
My
Lord
of
Nottingham
he
bought
nobly
from
the
Admiralty
;
his
Assistant
,
Vice-Admiral
Maunsel
,
he
entertained
civilly
,
and
procured
that
place
for
life
,
which
he
had
onely
during
pleasure
.
The
Warden
of
the
Cinque-ports
resigned
his
place
seasonably
;
the
Master
of
the
Horse
gave
up
his
preferment
and
his
life
opportunely
.
—
He
advanced
his
Relations
prudently
,
gratifying
them
,
and
fortifying
himself
:
He
made
an
excellent
choice
of
Servants
and
Confederates
;
entertained
the
ablest
and
most
faithful
Assistants
:
Doctor
Williams
and
Dr.
Laud
were
of
his
Council
for
the
Church
,
Sir
Francis
Bacon
for
the
State
.
From
the
first
he
received
frequent
Schedules
of
Persons
and
Doctrines
;
from
the
other
constant
Transcripts
of
Rules
and
Intelligence
:
Never
any
man
more
constant
to
his
approved
friend
,
never
any
more
fatal
to
his
known
Enemies
:
He
was
the
instrument
of
all
the
Subjects
services
to
his
Soveraign
,
and
of
his
Sovereign's
favours
to
his
Subjects
:
no
place
was
bestowed
without
his
knowledge
;
no
action
passed
without
his
approbation
;
not
an
eminent
man
but
depended
on
him
,
and
was
subordinate
to
him
:
His
dispatches
were
many
,
and
pregnant
testimonies
that
he
was
a
great
Master
of
his
Time
,
and
a
greater
of
his
Method
and
Affairs
.
Great
he
was
indeed
,
and
humble
too
,
not
raised
by
his
present
fortune
above
the
sense
of
his
former
:
envied
he
was
,
not
haud
;
applauded
in
the
same
Parliament
for
his
services
,
&
declaimed
against
for
his
preferments
;
ever
studious
of
the
Peoples
Interest
,
which
is
the
care
if
few
Favourites
;
never
happy
in
their
love
,
which
is
the
fate
of
all
.
He
approved
himself
both
to
the
declining
Monarch
,
and
the
rising
,
as
having
won
himself
not
so
much
to
their
affections
,
which
were
alterable
,
as
to
their
judgements
,
which
were
lasting
;
and
made
his
preferment
rather
a
matter
of
Interest
,
which
is
real
,
than
of
favour
,
which
is
personal
:
Looking
on
Somerset
laid
at
his
feet
,
Bristol
and
Williams
brought
on
their
knees
,
Carlisle
and
Pembrook
beneath
him
,
and
Holland
behinde
him
;
and
every
man
that
would
not
owe
his
preferment
to
his
favour
,
must
owe
his
ruine
to
his
frown
.
He
was
intrusted
with
the
greatest
service
and
secret
in
Spain
,
when
he
dived
to
the
bottome
of
that
Countreys
policy
,
and
the
Intrigues
of
Europes
Counsels
;
and
could
come
off
in
the
Match
with
Spain
to
the
King
and
Kingdoms
minde
dexterously
,
when
Sir
Walter
Aston
and
my
Lord
of
Bristol
were
at
a
losse
about
it
,
to
both
their
displeasures
,
weakely
,
amidst
the
open
entertainment
,
and
secret
working
of
that
place
.
—
In
his
attendance
on
the
King
in
Scotland
as
Counsellor
of
that
Kingdome
,
he
carried
himself
with
singular
sweetnesse
and
temper
,
as
it
behoved
him
,
being
now
in
〈◊〉
your
,
and
succeeding
one
of
their
own
.
They
that
censure
his
sudden
advancements
and
great
prefements
,
consider
not
,
that
Certainly
the
hearts
of
great
Princes
,
if
they
be
considered
as
it
were
in
Abstract
,
without
the
necessity
of
States
,
and
circumstances
of
time
,
being
besides
their
natural
Extent
,
moreover
once
opened
and
dilated
with
Affection
,
can
take
no
full
and
proportionable
pleasure
in
the
exercise
of
any
narrow
bounty
.
And
albeit
at
first
they
give
onely
upon
choice
and
love
of
the
Person
yet
within
a
while
themselves
likewise
begin
to
love
their
givings
,
and
to
foment
their
deeds
,
no
lesse
than
Parents
do
their
children
.
Besides
that
,
by
so
long
,
and
so
private
,
and
so
various
consociation
with
a
Prince
of
such
excellent
nature
,
he
had
now
gotten
as
it
were
two
lives
in
his
own
Fortune
and
Greatnesse
;
whereas
otherwise
the
Estate
of
a
Favourite
is
at
the
best
but
a
Tenant
at
will
,
and
rarely
transmitted
.
And
the
more
notable
,
because
it
had
been
without
any
visible
Eclipse
or
Wane
in
himself
,
amidst
divers
variations
in
others
.
How
general
his
care
,
appears
in
that
amidst
his
more
important
Negotiations
,
he
condescended
to
this
noble
act
of
charity
to
a
Scholar
and
to
Learning
;
which
I
must
,
for
my
part
,
celebrate
above
all
his
Expences
.
There
was
a
collection
of
certain
rare
Manuscripts
exquistely
written
in
Arabick
,
and
sought
in
the
most
remote
parts
,
by
the
diligence
of
Erpenius
the
most
excellent
Linguist
.
These
had
been
left
to
the
Widow
of
the
said
Erpenius
,
and
were
upon
sale
to
the
Jesuites
of
Antwerp
,
liquorish
Chapmen
of
such
Ware
.
Whereof
the
Duke
getting
knowledge
by
his
worthy
and
learned
Secretary
,
Doctor
Mason
,
interverted
the
bargain
,
and
gave
the
poor
Widow
for
them
five
hundred
pounds
,
a
sum
above
their
weight
in
silver
,
and
a
mixed
act
both
of
bounty
and
charity
;
the
more
laudable
,
being
much
out
of
his
natural
Element
.
These
were
they
,
which
after
his
death
were
as
nobly
presented
as
they
had
been
bought
to
Cambridge
by
his
Dutchess
,
as
soon
as
she
understood
by
the
foresaid
Doctor
her
Lords
intention
to
furnish
the
said
University
with
other
choice
Collections
from
all
parts
at
his
own
charge
.
The
Duke's
Answers
to
his
Appeachments
,
in
number
thirteen
,
I
finde
very
diligently
and
civilly
couched
:
and
though
his
heart
was
big
,
yet
they
all
savour
of
an
humble
spirit
one
way
,
and
an
equitable
consideration
another
,
which
could
not
but
possesse
every
vulgar
conceit
,
and
somewhat
allay
the
whole
matter
;
that
in
the
bolting
and
fifting
of
near
fourteen
years
of
such
power
and
favour
,
all
that
came
out
could
not
be
expected
to
be
pure
,
and
white
,
and
fine
Meal
,
but
must
needs
have
withal
among
it
a
certain
mixture
of
Padar
and
Bran
in
this
lower
age
of
humane
fragility
.
Howsoever
this
tempest
did
onely
shake
;
and
not
rent
his
Sails
.
His
defence
against
danger
was
noble
,
but
his
contempt
of
it
nobler
;
for
when
Sir
George
Goring
advised
him
onely
to
turn
out
of
the
ordinary
road
,
He
resolved
not
to
wave
his
way
upon
this
reason
,
perhaps
more
generous
then
provident
;
That
if
,
as
he
said
,
he
should
but
once
by
such
a
diversion
make
his
enemy
believe
he
were
afraid
of
danger
,
he
should
never
live
without
.
And
when
his
young
Nephew
the
Lord
Viscount
Fielding
offered
him
another
time
to
put
on
his
Coat
and
blew
Ribbon
,
while
they
passed
through
a
Town
where
they
apprehended
some
design
against
the
Duke
;
He
would
not
(
as
he
said
)
accept
of
such
an
offer
in
that
case
from
a
Nephew
,
whose
life
be
tendered
as
much
as
himself
:
But
after
some
short
direction
to
his
company
,
he
rode
on
without
perturbation
of
minde
,
though
a
drunken
fellow
laid
hold
of
his
Bridle
under
pretence
of
begging
,
to
begin
a
tumult
.
Neither
(
for

I
can

Duke

Buckingh
.
hear
)
was
there
any
further
enquiry
into
that
practice
,
the
Duke
peradventure
thinking
it
wisdome
not
to
reserve
discontentments
too
deep
.
But
in
the
middest
of
these
little
dangers
,
his
Grace
was
not
unmindful
of
his
civil
course
,
to
cast
an
eye
upon
the
ways
to
win
unto
him
such
as
have
been
of
principal
credit
in
the
lower
house
of
Parliament
;
applying
lenitives
,
or
subducting
from
that
part
where
he
knew
the
Humours
were
sharpest
;
amidst
which
thoughts
,
he
was
surprized
by
a
fatal
stroke
,
written
in
the
black
book
of
Necessity
.
Whereof
he
was
forewarned
as
well
by
his
own
as
others
apprehensions
,
as
appears
by
his
last
Addresses
to
the
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
,
the
Earl
of
Holland
,
and
his
sacred
Majesty
.
And
certain
it
is
,
that
some
good
while
before
,
Sir
Clement
Throckmorton
,
a
Gentleman
then
living
,
of
grave
judgement
,
had
in
a
private
conference
advised
him
to
wear
a
privy
Coat
;
whose
counsel
the
Duke
received
very
kindly
,
but
gave
him
this
answer
;
That
against
any
popular
fury
,
a
shirt
of
male
would
be
but
a
silly
defence
;
and
as
for
any
single
mans
assault
,
he
took
himself
to
be
in
no
danger
.
—
So
dark
is
Destiny
.
Since
he
is
dead
,
he
is
charged
;
1.
For
advancing
his
Relations
;
which
yet
was
humanity
in
him
,
and
not
a
fault
.
2.
For
enriching
himself
;
though
as
it
is
said
of
that
French
Peer
,
he
was
rich
onely
in
Obligations
,
his
Estate
being
at
the
mercy
of
Suitors
.
To
his
familiar
Servants
,
so
open-handed
he
was
,
though
many
of
them
so
ungrateful
as
to
deny
relation
unto
him
,
either
about
his
person
in
ordinary
attendance
;
or
about
his
affairs
of
State
,
as
his
Secretaries
;
or
of
Office
,
as
his
Steward
;
or
of
Law
,
as
that
worthy
Knight
whom
he
long
used
to
solicite
his
Causes
:
He
lest
all
both
in
good
Fortune
:
and
,
which
is
more
,
in
good
Fame
:
Things
very
seldom
consociated
in
the
instruments
of
great
Personages
.
3.
He
had
many
Offices
,
but
committed
himself
a
most
willing
Pupil
to
the
directions
of
such
as
were
generally
thought
fit
to
manage
affairs
of
that
nature
,
condescending
to
the
meanest
Arts
,
to
a●apt
himself
to
his
employments
.
4.
He
was
not
bookish
,
it
's
true
;
his
Affairs
forbad
him
study
,
yet
had
he
a
natural
readinesse
to
discourse
of
all
subjects
;
which
wanted
nothing
towards
applause
,
but
the
candor
and
benevolence
of
his
hearers
,
whose
dis-ingenuity
oft-times
turned
his
most
honest
discourses
to
accusations
;
witnesse
that
ebullition
of
his
joy
to
his
Majesty
in
behalf
of
is
People
,
which
Sir
John
Eliot
made
Treason
a-against
them
.
5.
He
was
great
indeed
,
but
gentle
and
affable
;
insomuch
,
that
though
his
memory
were
a
place
so
taken
up
with
high
thoughts
,
and
unlikely
to
have
any
room
for
matters
of
so
small
importance
,
he
was
ever
known
to
entertain
his
younger
acquaintance
with
much
familiarity
,
—
and
all
men
with
that
civility
,
wherein
was
observed
his
peculiarity
,
happy
bravery
of
deriving
favours
,
and
conferring
them
with
so
many
noble
Circumstances
,
as
the
manner
was
as
obliging
as
the
matter
,
and
mens
understandings
oft-times
as
much
puzled
as
their
gratitude
.
6.
He
would
intercede
,
it
's
confessed
,
for
poor
Malefactors
,
more
out
of
his
innate
compassion
,
than
any
designe
to
obstruct
the
course
of
Justice
;
believing
doubtless
(
saith
my
Author
)
that
hanging
was
the
worst
use
a
man
could
be
put
to
.
In
fine
,
a
Gentleman
he
was
of
that
choice
and
curious
make
for
exteriour
shape
,
as
if
Nature
had
not
in
his
whole
frame
drawn
one
line
amiss
;
nor
was
his
Fabrick
raised
by
soft
and
limber
studs
,
but
sturdy
and
virile
.
His
intellectual
gained
him
rather
the
opinion
of
a
wise
man
,
than
of
a
wit
.
His
skill
in
Letters
very
mean
;
for
finding
Nature
more
indulgent
to
him
in
the
ornaments
of
the
body
,
than
of
the
minde
,
the
tendency
of
his
youthful
Genius
was
rather
to
improve
those
excellencies
wherein
his
choice
so
lieity
consisted
,
than
to
addict
himself
to
morose
and
sullen
Bookishnesse
;
therefore
his
chief
exercises
were
,
dancing
,
fencing
,
vaulting
,
and
the
like
,
as
indications
of
strenuous
Agility
;
y
〈…〉
could
he
have
foreseen
where
all
the
Climacterie
and
motions
of
his
Advance
should
have
terminated
,
that
from
no
more
than
a
meer
Gentleman
,
it
should
be
his
luck
to
vault
into
the
dignity
of
a
Duke
,
and
trust
of
a
Privy-Counsellor
,
we
may
presume
his
early
studies
would
not
have
cast
so
much
neglect
upon
a
thing
so
important
to
him
as
a
States-man
,
though
not
very
fashionable
as
a
Courtier
.
The
temperature
of
his
minde
was
,
as
to
moral
habits
,
rather
disposed
to
good
than
bad
;
his
deportment
was
most
affable
and
debonair
,
a
rare
example
in
one
raised
so
high
and
so
speedily
:
To
his
Relations
liberal
,
firm
to
his
friend
,
formidable
to
his
enemy
.
He
was
a
Courtier
,
and
a
young
man
,
a
profession
and
age
prone
to
such
desires
,
as
when
they
tend
to
the
shedding
of
no
man's
blood
,
to
the
ruine
of
no
Family
,
Humanity
sometimes
connives
at
,
though
she
never
approves
.
So
that
take
him
in
his
publick
capacity
(
wherein
onely
he
comes
under
our
observation
,
which
meddles
not
with
mens
private
converse
or
moralities
any
further
then
they
are
subservient
to
their
State-employments
)
we
may
say
of
him
,
as
one
doth
of
his
Master
;
That
in
him
the
things
we
can
wish
,
are
fewer
than
those
we
praise
.
But
be
it
for
ever
remembred
,
That
the
villain
,
whose
despair
of
advancement
made
him
carelesse
of
his
own
life
,
and
Master
of
this
Lords
,
talked
in
his
examination
of
a
Sermon
at
St.
Faiths
,
not
his
own
Parish-Church
,
where
he
heard
;
That
every
man
in
a
good
cause
might
be
Judge
and
Executioner
of
sin
;
which
he
applied
to
himself
.
Whence
raw
discoursers
in
Divinity
should
learn
how
prudently
they
should
preach
;
and
itching
hearers
,
how
warily
they
should
hear
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
William
Noy
.
SIr
William
Noy
,
born
in
Cornwal
,
was
bred
in
Lincolns-Inne
,
a
most
sedulous
Student
,
constantly
conversant
with
ancient
Writing
,
verifying
his
Anagram
:
WILLIAM
NOY
,
I
moyl
in
Law
.
He
was
for
many
years
the
stoutest
Champion
for
the
Subjects
Liberty
,
until
King
Charles
entertained
him
to
be
his
Attorney
.
The
dis-ingenuity
of
the
Parliament
,
&
his
impendent
necessity
,
would
have
put
another
Soveraign
on
extraordinary
wayes
:
but
to
King
Charles
it
was
enough
,
they
were
illegal
.
No
extreamity
,
though
never
so
fatal
,
could
provoke
him
to
irregularities
;
yet
what-ever
wayes
the
Laws
allowed
,
or
Prerogative
claimed
,
to
secure
a
desperate
People
,
that
would
undo
themselves
,
he
was
willing
to
hearken
to
;
therefore
for
a
cunning
man
,
the
cunningest
as
such
a
project
of
any
within
his
three
Dominions
he
sends
for
his
Attorney-General
Noy
,
and
tell
him
what
he
had
in
contemplation
,
bids
him
contrive
the
Mode
,
but
a
statutable
one
,
for
defraying
the
expence
:
Away
goeth
the
subtle
Engineer
,
and
at
length
,
—
from
old
Records
bolts
out
an
ancient
common
Precedent
of
raising
a
Tax
for
setting
out
a
Navy
in
case
of
danger
.
The
King
glad
of
the
discovery
,
as
Treasure-trove
,
presently
issued
out
Writs
,
first
to
the
Port-Towns
within
the
Realm
,
declaring
that
the
safety
of
the
Kingdome
was
in
danger
(
and
so
it
was
indeed
)
and
therefore
that
they
should
provide
against
a
day
prefixed
twenty
seven
Ships
of
so
many
Tun
,
with
Guns
,
Gun-powder
,
Tackle
,
and
all
other
things
necessary
.
But
this
businesse
is
no
sooner
ripened
,
than
the
Author
of
it
dyeth
,
Aug.
6.
1634.
He
was
a
man
passing
humorous
,
but
very
honest
;
clownish
,
but
knowing
;
a
most
indefatigable
plotter
,
and
searcher
of
ancient
Records
,
whereby
he
became
an
eminent
instrument
both
of
good
and
evill
(
and
of
which
most
,
is
a
great
question
)
to
the
King's
Prerogative
:
For
during
the
times
that
Parliaments
were
frequent
,
he
appeared
a
stout
Patriot
for
the
Common-wealth
;
and
in
the
last
was
an
active
opponent
in
the
differences
concerning
Tonnage
and
Poundage
:
But
when
the
dissolution
of
that
was
in
some
mens
apprehensions
,
the
end
of
all
;
No
sooner
did
the
King
shew
him
the
Lure
of
advancement
,
but
quitting
all
his
former
Inclinations
,
he
wheeled
about
to
the
Prerogative
,
and
made
amends
with
his
future
service
for
all
his
former
dis-obligements
.
—
This
is
something
smart
;
more
to
his
advantage
is
that
character
Arch-Bishop
Laud
gives
him
;
That
be
was
the
best
friend
the
Church
ever
had
of
a
Lay-man
,
since
it
needed
any
such
(
and
indeed
he
was
very
vigilant
over
its
Adversaries
,
witness
his
early
foresight
of
the
danger
,
and
industrious
prosecution
of
the
illegality
of
the
design
of
buying
Impropriations
set
up
by
persons
no●
well
affected
to
the
present
constitution
)
and
tha●
of
the
Historian
,
that
he
loved
to
hear
Dr.
Preston
preach
,
because
he
spake
so
solidly
,
as
if
be
knew
Gods
will
.
—
To
which
I
add
a
passage
from
the
mouth
of
one
present
thereat
.
The
Gold-smiths
of
London
had
(
and
in
due
time
may
have
)
a
custom
once
a
year
to
weigh
gold
in
the
Star-Chamber
,
in
the
presence
of
the
Privy-Council
and
the
King's
Attorney
.
This
solemn
weighing
by
a
word
of
Art
they
call
the
Pixe
,
and
make
use
of
so
exact
scales
therein
,
that
the
Master
of
the
Company
affirmed
,
that
they
would
turn
with
the
two
hundredth
part
of
a
grain
.
I
should
be
loth
(
said
the
Attorney
Noy
,
standing
by
)
that
all
my
Actions
should
be
weighed
in
those
Scales
;
with
whom
all
men
concur
that
know
themselves
:
And
this
was
the
first
evidence
of
his
parts
,
and
the
occasion
of
his
reputation
.
Three
Grasiers
at
a
Fai●
had
left
their
money
with
their
Hostess
while
they
went
to
Market
;
—
one
of
them
calls
for
the
money
,
and
runsaway
;
—
the
other
two
come
upon
the
woman
,
and
sue
her
for
delivering
that
which
she
had
received
from
the
three
,
before
the
three
came
and
demanded
it
.
—
The
Cause
went
against
the
Woman
,
and
Judgement
was
ready
to
be
pronounced
;
when
Mr.
Noy
being
a
stranger
,
wisheth
her
to
give
him
a
Fee
,
because
he
could
not
plead
else
;
and
then
moves
in
Arrest
of
Judgement
,
that
he
was
retained
by
the
Defendant
,
a●d
that
the
case
was
this
:
The
Defendant
had
received
the
money
of
the
three
together
,
and
confes●eth
was
not
to
deliver
it
untill
the
same
three
demanded
it
;
and
therefore
the
money
is
ready
,
Let
the
three
men
come
,
and
it
shall
be
paid
:
a
motion
which
altered
the
whole
proceeding
.
Of
which
,
when
I
hear
some
say
it
was
obvious
,
I
remember
that
when
Columbus
had
discovered
America
,
every
one
said
it
was
easie
:
And
he
one
day
told
a
company
at
Table
where
he
was
,
that
he
could
do
a
stranger
thing
than
that
discovery
;
he
would
make
an
Egge
stand
an
end
on
a
plain
Table
:
the
speculatives
were
at
a
losse
how
it
should
be
done
;
—
he
knocks
the
Egg
upon
the
end
,
and
it
stands
:
Oh!
was
that
all
,
they
cryed
;
Yes
(
saith
he
)
this
is
all
!
and
you
see
how
hard
a
thing
it
is
to
conceive
a
thing
in
the
Idea
,
which
it
's
nothing
to
apprehend
in
the
performance
.
I
need
say
no
more
of
this
Gentleman
,
but
that
Sergeant
Maynard
will
say
to
this
hour
,
he
rose
mainly
at
first
by
being
looked
upon
as
Mr.
Noy's
Favourite
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
John
Savil.
THe
methods
of
this
Gentleman's
advancement
exactly
parallel
those
of
his
Countrey-man
Sir
Thomas
Wentworth
:
Both
had
the
same
foundation
of
wealth
and
honour
to
build
on
;
both
had
solid
and
strong
parts
to
act
by
;
both
began
with
Popularity
in
the
Countrey
,
proceeded
with
activity
in
Parliaments
;
—
accomplished
themselves
with
correspondence
all
over
the
Nation
:
both
eminent
upon
the
Bench
;
both
hospitable
at
home
;
both
bountiful
to
Lecturers
;
both
well
skilled
in
,
and
stedfast
to
the
great
poynts
of
Prerogative
and
Liberty
.
—
For
the
last
whereof
;
they
were
so
bold
(
as
sure
either
by
carrying
the
Cause
to
oblige
the
People
to
themselves
,
or
by
suffering
for
it
to
enrage
them
against
the
Government
)
that
Sir
R.
Weston
made
it
his
business
to
take
off
the
one
,
and
my
Lord
of
Canterbury
the
other
;
which
they
did
with
such
successe
,
that
as
my
Lord
Wentworth
became
a
great
Favourite
,
so
the
Lord
Savile
was
an
eminent
Counsellor
;
onely
finding
that
his
young
Neighbor
had
got
the
start
of
him
,
he
kept
to
one
of
his
popular
Principles
always
,
viz.
a
restless
impetuosity
towards
Papists
,
against
whom
he
made
himself
famous
;
1.
For
a
Disputation
procured
by
him
in
Drury-Lane
(
whither
he
brought
Bishop
Vsher
under
the
notion
of
a
Countrey-Parson
;
when
the
Jesuites
cryed
,
There
was
more
Learning
in
that
Parson
,
than
in
all
the
men
in
England
.
)
2.
For
a
project
offered
by
him
in
Parliament
:
—
For
when
they
taking
advantage
of
King
Charles
his
wants
,
proffered
to
maintain
five
thousand
men
to
serve
his
Majesty
in
Ireland
,
and
a
proportion
of
Ships
to
secure
him
in
England
,
on
condition
of
the
free
exercise
of
their
Religion
;
Sir
John
interposed
,
That
if
the
King
were
pleased
but
to
call
on
the
Recusants
to
pay
Thirds
(
legally
due
to
the
Crown
)
it
would
prove
a
way
more
effectual
,
and
lesse
offensive
,
to
raise
a
masse
of
money
:
It
being
but
just
,
that
they
who
were
so
rich
and
free
to
purchase
new
Priviledges
,
should
first
pay
their
old
Penalties
.
When
I
read
of
a
Lord
Savile
going
privately
to
Scotland
,
16●9
.
subscribing
to
a
Petition
,
with
other
moderate
Lords
,
as
they
called
them
,
containing
the
very
sense
of
the
faction
(
insomuch
that
it
is
observed
,
the
City-Petition
and
theirs
were
couched
in
the
same
words
)
yet
going
to
Oxford
,
and
after
all
,
being
so
turbulent
there
,
that
his
Majesty
was
feign
to
send
him
beyond
Sea
,
where
his
Majesty
writes
with
his
own
hand
,
He
doubts
be
will
rather
exchange
his
villany
,
than
end
it
;
I
am
almost
of
that
wise
mans
minde
,
that
there
were
no
lesse
then
17
particular
Designs
set
on
foot
by
the
promotion
of
the
late
Troubles
;
whereof
though
most
,
yet
not
all
were
carried
on
in
Westminster
:
—
or
to
enforce
something
more
solid
;
that
a
King
should
say
as
the
Italian
doth
,
If
my
Subject
deceives
me
once
,
God
forgive
him
;
If
a
second
time
,
God
forgive
me
;
and
the
rather
,
because
it
's
fatal
for
Majestie
to
erre
twice
.
Oservations
on
the
Life
of
the
Lord
Bishop
Williams
.
A
Strong
constitution
made
his
parts
,
a
strict
education
improved
them
;
unwearied
was
his
industry
,
unexpressible
his
capacity
:
He
never
saw
the
book
of
worth
he
read
not
;
he
never
forgot
what
he
read
;
he
never
lost
the
use
of
what
he
remembred
:
Every
thing
he
heard
or
saw
was
his
own
;
and
what
was
his
own
,
he
knew
how
to
use
to
the
utmost
:
His
extraction
being
Gentile
,
his
Soul
large
and
noble
,
his
presence
and
carriage
comely
and
stately
;
his
learning
copious
,
his
judgement
stayed
,
his
apprehension
clear
and
searching
,
his
expression
lively
and
effectual
,
his
elocution
flowing
and
majestick
;
his
Proctorship
,
1612.
discovered
him
a
person
above
his
place
;
and
his
Lectures
to
his
Pupils
,
above
his
preferment
.
Bishop
Vaughan
first
admitteth
him
to
his
Family
,
and
then
to
his
bosome
;
there
his
strong
Sermons
,
his
exact
government
(
under
my
Lord
)
his
plentiful
observation
,
his
numerous
acquaintance
,
made
him
my
Lord
Chancellor
Egerton's
friend
,
rather
than
his
servant
;
his
familiar
,
rather
then
his
Chaplain
.
Never
was
there
a
more
communicative
Master
to
instruct
,
than
my
Lord
Elsemere
;
never
a
more
capable
Scholar
to
learn
,
than
Doctor
Williams
,
who
had
instilled
to
him
all
necessary
State-maximes
while
his
old
Master
lived
,
and
had
bequeathed
to
him
four
excellent
[
](A48796-e109700-b)a
a
1.
Of
the
Prerogative
Royal.
2.
Priviledges
of
Parliament
.
3.
The
proceedings
in
Chancery
.
4.
The
power
of
the
Star-Chamber
.
Books
when
his
Master
was
dead
:
These
four
books
he
presented
to
King
James
the
very
same
time
that
he
offered
himself
to
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
.
The
Excellent
Prince
observed
him
as
much
for
the
first
gift
,
as
the
noble
Duke
did
for
the
second
:
the
King
and
Duke
made
him
their
own
,
who
they
saw
had
made
that
excellent
Book
his
.
Willing
was
King
James
to
advance
Clergy-men
,
and
glad
to
meet
with
men
capable
of
Advancement
.
His
two
Sermons
at
Court
made
him
Dean
of
Westminster
;
his
exact
state
of
the
Earl
of
Somerset's
Case
made
him
capable
of
,
and
the
KING'S
inclination
to
trust
his
Conscience
in
a
Divines
hand
,
fetled
him
in
the
Lord
Keepers
place
actually
,
onely
for
three
yeares
to
please
the
people
(
who
were
offended
with
his
years
,
now
but
34.
and
his
calling
a
Divine
:
)
but
designedly
for
ever
to
serve
his
Majesty
.
The
Lawyers
despised
him
at
first
,
but
the
Judges
admired
him
at
last
:
and
one
of
them
said
,
That
never
any
man
apprehended
a
Case
so
clearly
,
took
in
all
the
Law
,
Reason
,
and
other
Circumstances
more
punctually
,
recollected
the
various
Debates
more
faithfully
,
summed
it
up
more
compendiously
,
and
concluded
more
judiciously
and
discreetly
.
For
many
of
them
might
have
read
more
than
he
,
but
none
digested
what
they
had
read
more
solidly
,
none
disposed
of
their
reading
more
methodically
,
none
therefore
commanded
it
more
readily
.
He
demurred
several
Orders
,
as
that
of
my
Lord
Chancellor's
pardon
,
the
Earl
Marshal's
Patent
,
&c.
to
let
his
Majesty
see
his
judgement
;
yet
passed
them
,
to
let
him
see
his
obedience
:
He
would
question
the
Dukes
Order
sometimes
discreetly
,
to
let
him
know
he
understood
himself
;
yet
he
would
yield
handsomely
,
to
let
him
see
he
understood
him
:
and
indeed
he
had
the
admirable
faculty
of
making
every
one
of
his
actions
carry
prudence
in
the
performance
.
Necessary
it
was
,
for
one
of
his
years
and
place
to
keep
his
distance
,
and
avoid
contempt
;
yet
fatal
was
it
to
him
to
do
so
,
and
incur
envy
.
—
Well
understood
he
the
interest
of
all
his
places
,
and
resolutely
he
maintained
them
.
What
?
saith
he
,
shall
the
Liberties
of
Westminster
be
infringed
,
when
the
chief
Favourite
is
Steward
,
and
the
Lord
Keeper
Dean
,
and
I
the
contemptible
man
that
must
be
trampled
on
?
When
he
was
in
trouble
,
what
passion
,
what
insinuation
,
what
condescention
hath
he
at
command
?
when
petitioned
to
,
how
quickly
he
looked
through
men
and
business
?
how
exactly
would
he
judge
,
and
how
resolutely
conclude
,
without
an
immediate
intimation
from
his
Majesty
or
the
Duke
!
Many
eyes
were
upon
him
,
and
as
many
eyes
were
kept
by
him
upon
others
,
being
very
watchful
on
all
occasions
to
accommodate
all
Emergencies
,
and
meet
with
all
humors-alwayes
keeping
men
in
dependance
on
the
Duke
,
according
to
this
intimation
of
his
.
—
Cabal
287.
Let
him
hold
it
,
but
by
your
Lordships
favour
,
not
his
own
power
.
A
good
way
,
had
he
been
constant
to
it
,
the
neglect
whereof
undid
him
;
for
designing
the
promotion
of
Doctor
Price
to
the
Arch-Bishoprick
of
Armagh
,
he
moved
it
to
the
Duke
,
who
told
him
it
was
disposed
of
to
Doctor
Vsher
.
Whereupon
he
went
his
own
way
to
advance
that
man
,
and
overthrew
himself
:
For
then
his
Lord
let
him
feel
what
he
had
threatned
my
Lord
Bacon
when
he
advanced
him
;
That
if
he
did
not
owe
his
preferment
alwayes
to
his
favour
,
he
should
owe
his
fall
to
his
frown
.
The
peremptorinesse
of
his
judgement
rendered
him
odious
;
his
compliance
with
Bristol
,
suspected
;
and
his
Sermon
at
King
James
his
Funeral
[
his
tryal
rather
than
his
preferment
]
obnoxious
.
His
spirit
was
great
to
act
,
and
too
great
to
suffer
.
It
was
prudence
to
execute
his
decrees
against
all
opposition
while
in
power
;
it
was
not
so
,
to
bear
up
his
miscarriages
against
all
Authority
,
while
in
disgrace
.
A
sanguine
complexion
,
with
its
resolutions
,
do
well
in
pursuit
of
success
:
Phlegme
and
its
patience
do
better
in
a
retreat
from
miscarriages
.
This
he
wanted
,
when
[
it
may
be
,
thinking
fear
was
the
passion
of
King
Charles
his
Government
as
well
as
King
James
]
he
seconded
his
easie
fall
with
loud
and
open
discontents
,
and
those
discontents
with
a
chargeable
defence
of
his
servants
that
were
to
justifie
them
,
and
all
with
that
unsafe
popularity
,
invidious
pomp
,
and
close
irregularity
,
that
layd
him
open
to
too
many
active
persons
that
watched
him
:
Whether
his
standing
out
against
Authority
,
to
the
perplexing
of
the
Government
in
the
Star-Chamber
in
those
troublesome
times
;
his
entertainment
and
favour
for
the
Discontented
and
Non-conformists
;
his
motions
for
Reformation
and
alteration
in
twelve
things
;
his
hasty
and
unlucky
Protestation
in
behalf
of
the
Bishops
,
and
following
Actions
in
England
and
Wales
,
where
it
's
all
mens
wonder
to
hear
of
his
meruit
sub
Parliamento
,
had
those
private
grounds
and
reasons
,
that
if
he
Bishop
could
have
spoke
with
the
King
but
half
an
hour
,
he
said
,
would
have
satisfied
him
,
the
King
of
Kings
onely
knoweth
,
to
whom
he
hath
given
,
I
hope
,
a
better
account
than
any
Historian
of
his
time
hath
given
for
him
.
But
I
understand
better
his
private
inclinations
,
than
his
publick
actions
;
the
motions
of
his
nature
,
than
those
of
his
power
;
the
conduct
of
the
one
being
not
more
reserved
and
suspicious
,
than
the
effects
of
the
other
manifest
,
and
noble
:
for
not
to
mention
his
Libraries
erected
at
St.
John's
and
Westminster
,
his
Chappel
in
Lincoln-Colledge
;
the
repairs
of
his
Collegiate
Church
:
his
pensions
to
Scholars
more
numerous
than
all
the
Bishops
and
Noble-mens
besides
;
his
Rent-charges
on
all
the
Benefices
in
his
Gift
as
Lord
Keeper
,
or
Bishop
of
Lincoln
,
to
maintain
hopeful
youth
,
according
to
the
Statute
in
that
case
provided
.
Take
this
remarkable
instance
of
his
muni●icence
;
that
when
Du
Moulin
came
over
,
he
calleth
his
Chaplain
,
now
the
R.
R.
Father
in
God
,
John
Lord
Bishop
of
Coventry
and
Lichfield
,
and
telleth
him
,
he
doubted
the
good
man
was
low
,
wishing
him
to
repair
to
him
with
some
money
,
and
his
respects
,
with
assurance
that
he
would
wait
upon
him
himself
a●
his
fi●st
liesure
.
—
The
excellent
Doctor
rejoyneth
,
that
he
could
carry
him
no
lesse
than
twenty
pounds
;
the
noble
Bishop
replyeth
,
he
named
not
the
sum●
to
sound
his
Chaplains
mind
;
—
adding
,
that
twenty
pounds
was
neither
fit
for
him
to
give
,
nor
fo
〈…〉
the
reverend
Foreigner
to
receive
.
Carry
him
,
said
he
,
an
hundred
pounds
.
He
is
libelled
by
common
same
for
unchaste
,
though
those
that
understood
the
privacies
and
casualties
of
his
Infancy
,
report
him
but
one
degree
removed
from
a
Misogonist
,
though
to
palliate
〈◊〉
infirmities
;
he
was
most
compleat
in
Courtly
addresses
:
the
conversablenesse
of
this
Bishop
wi●●
Women
confisted
chiefly
(
if
not
onely
)
in
his
treatments
of
great
Ladies
and
Persons
of
honour
,
wherein
he
did
personate
the
compleatness
of
co●tesie
to
that
Sex
;
otherwise
a
woman
was
seldome
seen
in
his
house
,
which
therefore
had
always
mo
〈…〉
of
Magnificence
than
Neatnesse
,
sometimes
defective
in
the
Punctilio's
and
Niceties
of
Daintinesse
lying
lower
than
masculine
Cognizance
,
and
as
level
for
a
womans
eye
to
espy
,
as
easie
for
her
hand●
to
amend
.
He
suffereth
for
conniving
at
Puritans
,
out
of
hatred
to
Bishop
Laud
;
and
for
favouring

Yet
what-ever
he
offered
Ki
〈…〉
James
(
when
the
Match
went
on
in
Spain
)
as
〈◊〉
Councellour
,
or
what-ever
he
did
himself
as
〈◊〉
States-man
;
such
kindnesse
he
had
for
our
Litu●gy
,
that
he
translated
it
at
his
own
cost
into
Spanish
,
and
used
it
in
the
visitation
of
Melvin
when
sick
,
to
his
own
peril
,
in
the
Tower
;
and
such
resolution
for
Episcopacy
,
that
his
late
Majesty
of
blessed
memory
said
once
to
him
;
My
Lord
,
I
commend
you
,
that
you
are
no
whit
daunted
with
all
disasters
,
but
are
zealous
in
defending
your
Order
.
—
Please
it
your
Majesty
,
replyed
the
Arch-Bishop
,
I
am
a
true
Welsh-man
,
and
they
are
observed
never
to
run
away
till
their
General
first
forsakes
them
—
No
fear
of
my
flinching
,
while
your
Majestie
doth
countenance
our
Cause
.
His
extraction
was
Gentile
and
Ancient
,
as
appeared
from
his
Ancestors
Estate
;
which
was
more
than
he
could
purchase
without
borrowing
,
when
at
once
Lord
Keeper
,
Bishop
of
Lincoln
,
and
Dean
of
Westminster
.
His
minde
great
and
resolute
,
insomuch
that
he
controuled
all
other
advices
to
his
last
,
to
his
losse
in
Wales
:
—
and
daunted
Sir
John
Cook
,
as
you
may
see
in
his
character
to
his
honour
in
England
.
His
warinesse
hath
these
arguments
;
1.
That
he
would
not
send
the
Seal
to
the
King
but
under
lock
and
key
.
2.
That
being
to
depute
one
to
attend
in
his
place
at
the
Coronation
,
he
would
not
name
his
Adversary
,
Bishop
Laud
,
to
gratifie
him
;
nor
yet
any
other
,
to
displease
the
King
;
but
took
a
middle
way
,
and
presented
his
Majesty
a
List
of
the
Prebendaries
,
to
avoid
any
exception
,
referring
the
Election
to
his
Majesty
himself
.
3.
That
he
proposed
a
partial
Reformation
of
our
Church
to
the
Parliament
,
to
prevent
an
utter
extirpation
by
it
.
4.
That
he
exposed
others
to
the
censure
of
the
Parliament
1625.
to
save
himself
.
5.
That
he
answered
to
several
Examinations
without
any
the
least
advantage
taken
by
his
Antagonist
.
This
character
of
his
I
think
very
exact
.
That
his
head
was
a
well-fitted
treasury
,
and
his
tongue
the
fair
key
to
unlock
it
:
That
he
had
as
great
a
memory
as
could
be
reconciled
with
so
good
a
judgement
:
That
so
quick
his
parts
,
that
others
study
went
not
beyond
his
nature
;
and
their
designed
and
forelayd
performances
,
went
not
beyond
his
sudden
and
ready
accommodations
:
Onely
he
was
very
open
,
and
too
free
in
discourse
,
disdaining
to
lye
at
a
close
guard
,
as
confident
of
the
length
and
strength
of
his
weapon
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Isaac
Wake
.
THis
honourable
person
whom
I
look
upon
at
Oxford
,
in
the
same
capacity
and
fortune
that
Sir
Robert
Naunton
and
Sir
Francis
Nethersole
were
in
at
Cambridge
.
He
was
born
in
Northampton-shire
,
(
his
Father
Arthur
Wake
being
Parson
of
Billing
,
Master
of
the
Hospital
of
St.
Johns
in
Northampton
,
and
Canon
of
Christs-Church
)
bred
Fellow
of
Merton-Colledge
in
Oxford
,
Proctor
and
Orator
of
that
University
,
whence
he
was
admitted
Secretary
to
Sir
Dudley
Carleton
Secretary
of
State
,
and
afterward
advanced
into
the
King's
service
,
and
by
his
Master
and
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
employed
Embassadour
to
Venice
,
where
he
neglected
his
own
interest
to
attend
his
Majesties
employment
;
the
reason
that
he
dyed
rich
onely
in
the
just
conscience
of
his
worth
,
and
the
repute
of
his
merit
.
Coming
from
Venice
,
he
was
appointed
Lieger
of
France
,
and
designed
Secretary
of
State
,
had
not
Death
prevented
him
at
Paris
;
being
accomplished
with
all
qualifications
requisite
for
publick
Employment
,
Learning
,
Languages
,
Experience
,
Abilities
,
and
what
not
?
King
CHARLES
hearing
of
his
death
,
commanded
his
Corps
to
be
decently
brought
from
Paris
into
England
,
allowing
the
expences
of
his
Funeral
,
and
enjoyning
his
neerest
Relations
to
attend
the
performance
thereof
.
These
accordingly
met
his
body
at
Bulloign
in
France
,
and
saw
it
solemnly
conveyed
into
England
,
where
it
was
interred
in
the
Chappel
of
the
Castle
of
Dover
.
His
REX
PLATONICUS
,
or
his
Latine
account
of
King
James
his
six
dayes
stay
at
Oxford
,
speaks
his
Learning
;
and
his
Instructions
for
Travel
,
his
experience
.
—
He
observing
his
Predecessors
failings
,
retrenched
his
expences
,
satisfying
himself
with
a
repute
of
noblenesse
,
while
in
his
way
to
preferment
;
and
others
with
the
expectation
of
his
bounty
.
When
preferred
,
he
seemed
liberal
,
that
he
might
not
be
despised
abroad
;
but
he
was
neer
,
that
he
might
not
be
odious
at
home
.
His
prodigality
it
may
be
might
have
satisfied
the
curiosity
of
a
few
Strangers
,
while
he
incurred
the
displeasure
of
all
his
friends
.
Besides
,
a
close
&
wary
man
may
be
bountiful
at
his
pleasure
,
but
the
munificent
cannot
be
so
easily
sparing
;
for
if
his
occasions
or
fortunes
check
his
profuseness
,
all
his
gallantry
is
in
his
first
action
of
good
husbandry
.
Caution
in
expences
,
if
it
be
a
vice
,
is
one
of
those
,
saith
the
Italian
,
that
never
disinherited
a
man
.
Nay
,
of
the
two
,
saith
Machiavel
,
It
's
more
discretion
to
hold
the
style
of
miserable
,
which
begets
an
infamy
without
hatred
,
than
to
desire
that
of
Liberal
;
which
being
maintained
by
necessitous
courses
,
procures
an
infamy
with
hatred
.
As
never
did
States-man
a
brave
action
that
seemed
illiberal
,
so
never
did
he
any
such
that
was
not
so
:
—
Yet
four
things
our
Knight
spared
no
cost
in
:
1.
Intelligence
;
He
could
afford
(
he
said
)
a
golden
key
for
the
Pope's
Cabinet
.
2.
Books
;
—
his
Study
was
his
Estate
.
3.
In
watching
the
Spanyards
,
saying
,
The
Indies
will
pay
for
this
.
And
4.
Entertaining
knowing
men
often
;
applauding
that
Emperour's
maxime
,
That
bad
rather
go
fifty
miles
to
hear
a
wise
man
,
than
five
to
see
a
fair
City
.
And
this
he
was
eminent
for
;
that
he
saw
nothing
remarkable
in
Foreign
parts
,
that
he
applyed
not
to
his
own
Countrey
:
Sir
Henry
Wotton
being
not
more
curious
in
picking
up
small
Rarities
to
pleasure
particular
persons
,
than
Sir
Isaac
Wake
was
industrious
to
observe
any
useful
invention
that
might
improve
the
publick
good
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Lord
Cottington
.
SIr
Fran.
Cottington
being
bred
,
when
a
youth
,
under
Sir
..........
Stafford
,
lived
so
long
in
Spain
,
till
he
made
the
garb
and
gravity
of
that
Nation
become
his
,
and
become
him
too
.
He
raised
himself
by
his
natural
strength
,
without
any
artificial
advantage
;
having
his
parts
above
his
learning
,
his
Experience
above
his
Parts
,
his
Industry
above
his
Experience
,
and
(
some
will
say
)
his
Successe
above
all
:
So
that
at
last
he
became
Chancellor
of
the
Exchequer
,
Baron
of
Hanworth
in
Middlesex
,
Constable
of
the
Tower
,
1640.
and
(
upon
the
resignation
of
Doctor
juxon
)
Lord
Treasurer
of
England
,
gaining
also
a
very
great
Estate
.
Very
reserved
he
was
in
his
temper
,
and
very
slow
in
his
proceedings
;
sticking
to
some
private
Principles
in
both
,
and
aiming
at
certain
rules
in
all
things
:
—
a
temper
that
indeared
him
as
much
to
his
Master
,
Prince
Charles
his
person
,
as
his
integrity
did
to
his
service
;
—
Nor
to
his
service
onely
,
but
to
that
of
the
whole
Nation
;
in
the
Merchandize
whereof
he
was
well
versed
;
to
the
trade
whereof
he
was
very
serviceable
many
ways
:
but
eminently
,
in
that
he
negotiated
,
that
the
Spanish
Treasure
which
was
used
to
be
sent
to
Flanders
by
the
way
of
Genoa
,
might
be
sent
in
English
Bottoms
,
which
exceedingly
enriched
England
for
the
time
;
and
had
it
continued
,
had
made
her
the
greatest
Bank
and
Mart
for
Gold
and
Silver
of
any
Common-wealth
in
Europe
.
Indeed
the
advantage
of
his
Education
,
the
different
Nations
and
Factions
that
he
had
to
deal
with
,
the
direct
opposition
of
Enemies
,
the
treachery
of
Friends
,
the
contracts
of
States-men
,
the
variety
and
force
of
Experience
from
the
distinct
knowledge
of
the
natures
of
the
people
of
several
Countreys
,
of
their
chief
Ministers
of
State
,
with
their
Intrigues
of
government
,
made
him
so
expert
,
that
the
Earl
of
Bristol
and
Sir
Walter
Aston
could
do
nothing
without
him
;
and
he
onely
could
finish
that
Treaty
,
which
they
had
for
many
years
spun
out
.
Men
take
several
ways
to
the
ends
they
propose
themselves
.
Some
,
that
of
confidence
;
others
,
that
of
respect
and
caution
,
&c.
when
indeed
the
main
businesse
is
,
to
suit
our selves
with
our
own
times
;
which
this
Lord
did
,
and
no
man
better
,
untill
looking
into
the
depths
of
the
late
Faction
,
he
declared
at
the
Council-Table
,
1639.
that
they
aimed
at
the
ruine
of
Church
and
State
.
And
viewing
the
state
of
the
Kingdome
,
he
advised
;
That
Leagues
might
be
made
abroad
;
and
,
that
in
this
inevitable
necessity
,
all
wayes
to
raise
money
should
be
used
that
were
lawful
.
Wherefore
he
was
one
of
those
few
excluded
the
Indempnity
by
the
Faction
,
and
had
the
honour
to
dye
banished
for
the
best
Cause
and
Master
,
in
those
foreign
Countries
;
where
he
suffered
as
nobly
for
the
Crown
of
England
in
his
later
dayes
,
as
he
had
acted
honourably
for
it
in
his
former
.
When
he
never
came
off
better
than
in
satisfying
the
Spanyards
about
toleration
,
reducing
the
whole
of
that
affair
to
these
two
Maximes
;
1.
That
Consciences
were
not
to
be
forced
,
but
to
be
won
and
reduced
by
the
evidence
of
Truth
,
with
the
aid
of
Reason
,
and
in
the
use
of
all
good
means
of
Instruction
and
perswasion
.
2.
That
the
causes
of
Conscience
,
wherein
they
exceed
their
bounds
,
and
grow
to
matter
of
faction
,
lose
their
nature
:
and
that
Soveraign
Princes
ought
distinctly
to
punish
those
foul
practices
,
though
overlaid
with
the
fairer
pretences
of
Conscience
and
Religion
.
One
of
his
Maximes
for
Treaty
I
think
remarkable
,
viz.
That
Kingdomes
are
more
subject
to
fear
than
hope
:
And
that
it
's
safer
working
upon
them
by
a
power
that
may
awe
the
one
,
than
by
advantages
that
may
excite
the
other
.
—
Since
it
's
another
rule
,
that
States
have
no
affections
but
interest
;
and
that
all
kindnesse
and
civility
in
those
cases
are
but
oversights
and
weaknesse
.
Another
of
his
rules
for
Life
I
judge
useful
,
viz.
That
since
no
man
is
absolute
in
all
points
,
and
since
men
are
more
naturally
enclined
out
of
envy
to
observe
mens
infirmities
,
than
out
of
ingenuity
to
acknowledge
their
merit
;
—
He
discovereth
his
abilities
most
,
that
least
discovereth
himself
.
To
which
I
may
add
another
,
viz.
That
it
is
not
onely
our
known
duty
,
but
our
visible
advantage
,
to
ascribe
our
most
eminent
performances
to
providence
,
since
it
not
onely
takes
off
the
edge
of
envy
,
but
improves
the
reason
of
admiration
.
None
being
lesse
maliced
,
or
more
applauded
than
he
,
who
is
thought
rather
happy
than
able
;
blessed
,
than
active
;
and
fortunate
,
than
cunning
.
Though
yet
all
the
caution
of
his
life
could
not
avoid
the
envy
of
his
advancement
from
so
mean
a
beginning
to
so
great
honours
,
—
notwithstanding
that
it
is
no
disparagement
to
any
to
give
place
to
fresh
Nobility
,
who
ascend
the
same
steps
with
those
before
them
.
New
being
onely
a
terme
,
saith
one
,
onely
respecting
us
,
not
the
world
;
for
what
is
,
was
before
us
,
and
will
be
when
we
are
no
more
:
And
indeed
this
Personage
considering
the
vanity
and
inconstancy
of
common
applause
or
affronts
,
improved
the
one
,
and
checked
the
other
,
by
a
constant
neglect
of
both
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Dudly
Carleton
.
SIr
Dudley
Carleton
was
born
in
Oxford-shire
,
bred
in
Christs-Church
in
Oxford
under
Dr.
King
,
and
afterwards
in
relation
of
Secretary
to
Sir
Ralph
Winwood
in
the
Low-Countreys
,
where
he
was
very
active
,
when
King
James
resigned
the
cautionary
Towns
to
the
States
.
Here
he
added
so
great
experience
to
his
former
Learning
,
that
afterwards
our
King
employed
him
for
twenty
years
together
Ambassador
in
Venice
,
Savoy
,
and
the
United
Provinces
;
Anne
Gerard
his
Lady
(
Co-heir
to
George
Gerard
Esquire
)
accompanying
him
in
all
his
Travels
,
as
is
expressed
in
her
Epitaph
in
Westminster-Abby
.
He
was
by
K.
Charles
the
first
,
to
balance
the
Duke
of
Buckingbam's
enemies
in
the
House
of
Peers
,
with
the
Lord
Mandevil
now
Earl
of
Manchester
,
and
the
Lord
Grandison
,
created
Baron
of
Imbercourt
in
Surrey
,
and
afterwards
Viscount
Dorchester
,
marrying
for
his
second
Wife
the
Daughter
of
Sir
Henry
Glenham
,
the
Relict
of
Paul
,
Viscount
Banning
,
who
survived
him
.
He
succeeded
the
Lord
Conway
,
(
when
preferred
President
of
the
Council
,
in
the
Secretary-ship
of
State
,
being
sworn
at
White-Hall
,
December
14.
1628.
and
dying
without
Issue
,
Anno
D●m
163
...
Much
ado
he
had
to
remove
a
State-jealousie
that
was
upon
him
;
That
he
insisted
on
the
restitution
of
some
Towns
in
Cleves
and
●uliers
,
to
gratifie
the
Spanyards
at
that
time
in
●reaty
with
us
:
more
to
remove
a
Church-jealou●e
,
that
in
negotiating
an
accommodation
in
Re●gion
,
he
designed
the
undermining
of
the
Re●onstrants
then
in
so
much
power
there
:
In
which
●atter
he
was
at
a
losse
,
whether
his
Majesty
should
●terpose
by
Letter
or
Message
:
The
former
he
said
was
most
effectual
,
but
the
later
lesse
subject
to
〈◊〉
constr●●●on
,
considering
Barnevel's
interest
in
●he
State
.
But
he
had
a
Chaplain
,
one
Mr.
Hales
,
that
kept
this
Controversie
even
on
the
one
hand
,
while
he
balanced
the
State-interest
on
the
other
;
equally
carefull
that
the
United
Provinces
should
not
be
over-run
by
the
Armies
of
Spain
,
and
that
they
should
not
be
swallowed
up
by
the
protection
of
France
.
Watchful
was
his
eye
there
over
the
West-India
Company
;
Diligent
his
carriage
upon
any
accommodations
from
Spain
;
which
he
apprehended
always
as
a
design
to
distract
that
people
then
in
regard
of
their
unsetlednesse
,
but
too
apt
upon
any

fall
into

Great
his

in
reconciling
Sir
Horace
Vere

Sir
Edward
Cecil
for
the
honour
of
the
English
Nation
,

of

Sincere
his

to
the
Prince

Exact
his

and
dexterous
his

of
keeping

,
notwithstanding
our

since
the
Prince
of
Orange
bluntly
(
after
his
manner
)
asked
,
Qui

And
indeed
he
behaved
himself
in
all
Employments
so
well
becoming
a
man
that
understood
so
many
Languages

that
was

that
no●
withstanding

That
a
Prince
without
money
is
like
a
wall
without
a
Crosse
,
for
every
one
to
draw
upon
;
did
mention
the
Excize
in
the
Parliament-House
,
and
in
no
ill
meaning
neither
,
and
was
violently
cryed
to
the
Bar
:
and
though
a
person
of
that
eminence
,
as
being
then
a
Privy-Councellor
,
and
principal
Secretary
of
State
,
he
hardly
escaped
●eing
committed
to
the
Tower
:
—
So
odious
was
●●at
Dutch-Devil
(
as
they
called
it
)
in
the
excel●●t
King
Charles
,
which
was
raysed
by
the
belo●ed
Parliament
,
with
many
more
that
were
conju●ed
up
in
three
or
four
years
,
but
not
likely
to
be
●aid
in
three
or
fourscore
.
Living
in
those
times
when
weak
men
imagined
●o
themselves
some
unknown
bliss
from
untried
go●ernments
;
and
considering
that
alterations
coun●ervail
not
their
own
dangers
,
and
as
they
bring
●ittle
good
to
any
,
so
they
bring
least
of
all
to
those
●hat
first
promoted
them
;
This
Lord
refused
to
be
●he
mouth
of
the
Zealous
multitude
(
whose
rage
●ould
neither
be
well
opposed
,
nor
joyned
with
)
whom
a
pardon
or
compliance
might
bring
off
,
leaving
their
Demagogues
to
compound
for
their
fol●●y
with
their
ruine
;
choosing
rather
to
be
patient
,
than
active
,
and
appear
weak
,
than
be
troublesome
;
and
once
resolved
upon
an
exact
survey
of
circumstances
for
power
against
the
faults
of
it
on
the
one
●●and
,
and
the
affronts
of
it
on
the
other
,
he
gained
the
esteem
of
all
parties
by
his
fidelity
to
his
own
.
I
am
much
taken
with
his
plain
saying
,
which
I
finde
of
late
printed
;
There
will
be
mistakes
in
Divinity
while
men
preach
,
and
errours
in
Government
while
such
govern
:
And
more
with
his
method
of
proceeding
in
his
affairs
,
whereof
he
laid
first
an
Idea
in
his
own
minde
,
and
then
improved
it
by
debate
;
the
result
whereof
was
usually
so
compleat
,
as
shewed
the
vast
difference
between
the
shallow
conceptions
of
one
man
,
and
the
deep
judgement
of
many
.
Observations
on
the
Lives
of
Sir
Richard
,
and
Sir
Jerome
Weston
,
Earls
of
Portland
.
SIr
Richard
Weston
in
his
youth
impaired
his
estate
,
to
improve
himself
with
publick
accomplishment
,
but
came
off
both
a
saver
and
a
gainer
at
the
last
,
when
made
Chancellor
of
the
Exchequer
,
and
afterwards
,
(
upon
the
remove
of
the
Earl
of
Marlborough
)
July
15.
in
the
fourth
of
King
Charles
,
Lord
Treasurer
of
England
.
His
activity
in
Parliament
made
him
considerable
at
Court
,
none
fitter
to
serve
a
Prince
than
he
who
commands
the
humor
of
the
people
.
Indeed
where
ever
he
was
,
he
discovered
himself
able
and
faithful
.
1.
In
his
Foreign
Employments
,
his
judgement
was
searching
,
and
reach
admirable
,
he
being
the
first
that
smelt
out
the
intentions
against
the
Palatinate
;
which
were
then
in
brewing
,
and
mashed
with
much
art
.
In
his
Domestick
charge
,
his
Artifice
was
singular
,
both
in
a
faithful
improvement
of
the
In●●mes
,
and
a
discreet
moderation
of
the
expences
in
his
Masters
Revenues
—
In
his
Aspect
,
there
was
a
mixture
of
authority
and
modesty
;
in
his
apprehensions
,
quickness
and
solidity
;
in
his
port
and
train
,
a
suitable
dignity
and
correspondence
,
with
little
noyse
and
outward
form
:
An
enemy
to
Complements
,
yet
very
courteous
:
no
flatterer
,
yet
of
great
power
:
irreconcileable
to
frothy
formality
,
yet
maintaining
a
due
regard
to
his
person
and
place
.
A
great
Scholar
he
was
,
and
yet
a
great
States-man
;
of
various
erudition
,
and
as
large
observation
.
—
He
secured
himself
much
by
Alliances
with
the
best
Nobility
,
more
by
the
love
,
and
(
what
is
more
)
the
esteem
of
a
constant
King
;
it
being
one
of
the
wonders
of
that
time
,
that
my
Lord
of
Canterbury
and
he
,
who
were
at
so
much
distance
from
one
another
,
should
be
so
inward
with
their
Soveraign
,
but
that
that
excellent
Prince
measured
not
his
affections
to
his
Dependants
so
much
by
a
particular
interest
,
as
by
a
publick
serviceableness
.
—
The
necessity
of
the
Exchequer
put
him
upon
some
ways
of
supply
that
displeased
the
rabble
;
though
his
three
particular
cares
,
viz.
The
paying
of
the
Navy
,
the
satisfying
of
the
City
,
and
the
Queen
of
Bohemia's
supply
(
three
things
he
was
very
much
intent
upon
while
Treasurer
)
obliged
the
wiser
sort
of
men
.
I
know
nothing
he
was
defective
in
,
being
careful
(
to
use
his
own
words
)
to
perform
all
duties
,
with
obedience
to
his
Majestie
,
respect
to
the
Duke
,
and
justice
to
the
particular
parties
concerned
;
—
But
that
he
had
so
much
of
his
Master's
love
,
and
so
little
of
his
patience
,
being
grated
(
as
all
States-men
are
that
have
to
do
with
various
interests
and
humors
)
between
a
strong
inclination
of
satisfying
every
man
,
and
the
impossibility
of
pleasing
all
:
Considering
the
importunities
of
persons
and
affairs
,
a
little
impatience
must
needs
fall
upon
your
Lord-ship
(
writes
Sir
Henry
Wotto●
to
him
)
unlesse
you
had
been
cut
out
of
a
Rock
of
Diamonds
,
especially
having
been
before
so
conversant
with
liberal
Studies
,
and
with
the
freedom
of
your
own
minde
.
In
his
time
was
the
great
Question
agitated
;
Whether
a
Prince
should
aime
at
the
fear
,
or
the
lov●
of
his
People
?
—
Although
no
Prince
did
more
to
oblige
his
People
,
than
the
Excellent
King
Charles
the
I
,
Yet
was
there
no
Prince
ever
more
advised
to
awe
them
:
For
this
Lord
,
and
many
more
,
who
looked
upon
over-much
indulgence
as
the
greatest
cruelty
,
considering
that
men
love
at
their
own
pleasure
,
and
to
serve
their
own
turn
,
and
that
their
fear
depends
upon
the
Princes
pleasure
,
were
of
opinion
;
That
every
wise
Prince
ought
to
ground
upon
that
which
is
of
himself
,
and
not
upon
that
which
is
of
another
:
government
being
set
up
in
the
world
,
rather
to
trust
its
own
power
,
than
stand
upon
others
courtesie
.
Besides
,
two
things
the
vulgar
are
taken
with
:
1.
Appearance
.
2.
The
event
of
things
;
which
,
if
successful
,
gains
both
their
love
and
reverence
.
Neither
was
the
Father
more
exact
in
his
Maximes
than
the
Son
in
his
,
of
whose
many
infallible
principles
this
was
one
;
That
it
was
the
safest
way
for
the
King's
Majestie
to
proceed
upon
a
Declaration
,
that
the
Faction
at
Westminster
was
no
Parliament
,
upon
his
own
and
his
most
loyal
Lords
and
Commons
removal
to
Oxford
.
And
this
another
;
That
provided
the
Gentry
and
Clergy
were
well
principled
,
and
His
Majestie
that
now
is
had
a
constant
correspondence
with
the
most
eminent
of
them
,
it
was
our
Interest
to
promote
his
Majesties
grandeur
abroad
,
and
sit
still
at
home
,
untill
the
Faction
might
be
so
secure
as
to
divide
,
—
and
his
Majesties
Interest
became
so
conspicuous
by
the
Principles
that
were
kept
up
at
home
,
and
the
State
that
was
born
abroad
,
as
to
command
all
.
And
really
his
little
saying
hath
much
in
it
;
—
He
that
will
see
what
shall
be
,
let
him
consider
what
hath
been
:
For
there
are
the
same
desires
,
humours
,
and
interest
in
every
age
,
that
were
before
it
:
So
that
as
Machiavel
observeth
,
it
is
very
easie
for
him
,
that
with
diligence
examineth
past
Occurrences
,
to
serve
himself
of
those
remedies
which
were
in
use
among
the
Ancients
;
Or
if
they
fail
,
to
devise
what
is
most
like
them
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
William
Earl
of
Pembrook
.
HE
was
an
ancient
Gentleman
of
good
repute
,
and
therefore
well
esteemed
;
a
proper
person
,
well
set
,
and
of
graceful
dep●rtment
,
and
therefore
well
beloved
of
King
●ames
and
Queen
Anne
:
His
inclination
was
as
ge●erous
as
his
extraction
,
and
manners
ancient
as
●is
Family
.
One
of
his
Ancestors
is
renowned
,
for
that
he
would
condescend
to
deliver
his
Embassies
〈◊〉
no
Language
but
Welch
;
and
he
is
commended
for
that
he
would
comply
with
no
customes
in
his
con●●●se
but
the
old
English
,
—
though
his
Contem●oraries
make
that
his
defect
,
rather
than
his
orna●ent
;
proceeding
from
his
want
of
Travel
,
rather
●●an
his
observance
of
Antiquity
:
He
having
had
●●ely
(
saith
the
Historian
)
the
breeding
of
Eng●and
,
which
gave
him
a
conceited
dislike
of
Foreign
men
,
their
manners
and
mode
;
or
of
such
English
as
professed
much
advantage
thereby
:
so
that
the
Scots
and
he
were
ever
separate
;
and
therefore
he
was
the
onely
old
Courtier
that
kept
close
to
the
Commonalty
,
and
they
to
him
though
never
suspected
by
either
of
his
Soveraigns
,
not
because
he
was
not
over-furnished
with
Abilities
(
as
that
pen
insinuates
)
to
be
more
than
Loyal
,
but
because
he
had
too
much
integrity
to
be
lesse
.
Being
munificent
and
Childlesse
,
the
University
o●
Oxford
hoped
to
be
his
Executor
,
and
Pembrook-Colledge
his
Heir
.
Pembrook-Colledge
,
I
say
,
calle●
so
not
onely
in
respect
to
,
but
also
in
expectatio●
from
him
,
then
Chancellor
of
the
University
:
and
probably
had
not
our
noble
Lord
died
suddenly
soon
after
(
according
as
a
Fortune-teller
had
informed
him
,
whom
he
laughed
at
that
very
nigh●
he
departed
,
being
his
Birth-night
)
this
Colledge
might
have
received
more
than
a
bare
name
from
him
.
He
was
(
saith
one
of
his
own
time
)
the
very
picture
,
and
Vive
Effigies
of
Nobility
;
his
person
rather
Majestick
than
Elegant
;
his
presence
,
whether
quiet
,
or
in
motion
,
full
of
stately
gravity
;
his
minde
generous
,
and
purely
heroick
often
stout
,
but
never
disloyal
:
so
vehemen
an
opponent
of
the
Spanyard
,
as
when
tha●
Match
fell
under
consideration
,
he
would
sometimes
rouze
to
the
trepidation
of
King
James
yet
kept
in
favour
still
;
for
that
King
knew
plai●
dealing
,
as
a
Jewel
in
all
men
,
so
was
in
a
Privy●
Councellor
an
ornamental
duty
.
An
instance
o●
his
familiar
converse
with
King
James
,
was
,
tha●
the
King
observing
that
he
naturally
hated
Frog
,
threw
one
into
his
neck
;
and
he
in
requi●tal
,
caused
a
Pig
(
of
an
equal
disgust
with
the
sam●
Prince
)
to
be
put
under
his
Close-stool
:
where
,
though
it
produced
no
extraordinary
ill
effect
for
the
present
,
yet
after
the
prank
had
been
descanted
upon
,
and
worst
of
Interpretations
made
by
some
(
the
title
of
Jewes
being
at
that
time
bestowed
on
the
Scots
)
the
King
was
much
affected
with
it
;
and
the
more
,
because
it
was
done
at
Wilton
the
Earls
own
house
.
—
Though
Kings
when
free
and
sociable
,
break
out
to
sprightful
and
facetious
extravagancies
with
Courtiers
,
yet
must
they
not
presume
,
lest
their
words
are
interpreted
,
not
by
their
meaning
,
but
others
jealousie
:
free
spirits
cannot
be
too
circumspect
.
And
the
same
true-heartednesse
commended
him
to
King
Charles
,
with
whom
he
kept
a
most
admirable
correspondence
,
and
yet
stood
the
firm
Confident
of
the
Commonalty
;
and
that
not
by
a
sneaking
cunning
,
but
by
an
erect
and
generous
prudence
,
such
as
rendred
him
as
unsuspected
of
ambition
on
the
one
side
,
as
of
faction
on
the
other
;
being
generally
beloved
and
regarded
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Lord
Conway
.
EDward
Lord
Conway
succeeded
to
his
Father's
Martial
skill
and
valour
,
who
was
under
the
Earl
of
Leicester
,
Governour
of
Ostend
,
and
twisted
therewith
peaceable
Policy
in
State-affairs
,
so
that
the
Gown
and
the
Sword
met
in
him
in
most
eminent
proportion
,
and
thereupon
King
James
advanced
him
one
of
the
principal
Secretaries
of
State
.
For
these
his
good
services
,
he
was
by
him
created
Lord
Conway
of
Ragleigh
in
this
County
,
and
afterwards
by
King
Charles
Viscount
Killultagh
in
the
County
of
Antrim
;
And
lastly
,
in
the
third
of
King
Charles
,
Viscount
Conway
of
Conway
in
Carnarvan-shire
;
England
,
Ireland
,
and
Wales
mutually
embracing
themselves
in
his
Honours
;
and
not
long
after
,
President
of
the
Councel
.
Upon
the
breach
with
Spain
,
King
James
and
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
both
judged
it
very
convenient
to
have
a
Martial
Secretary

neither
was
there
any
man
fitter
for
their
turn
then
this
Gentleman
,
who
was
as
able
to
direct
them
in
the
Affairs
of
War
abroad
,
as
he
was
ready
to
be
directed
by
them
in
those
of
Peace
at
home
:
Being
one
of
those
three
remarkable
Servants
that
King
James
used
to
jest
upon
,
viz.
a
Lord
Treasurer
[
meaning
the
Earl
of
Suffolk
]
that
could
not
cast
Account
,
a
Chaplain
[
meaning
Doctor
Preston

that
could
not
read

Being
not
used

the

and
a
Secretary
[
meaning
this
Lord

that
could
not
write
his
name

Sir
Richard
Weston
beat
the
Bush
in
the
Affair
of
the
Palatinate
,
but
Sir
Edward
catched
the
Hare
;
his
rough
humour
being
more
suitable
to
that
business
:
Or
inded
it
having
been
always
more
successful
to
be
bold
,
than
wary
;
to
be
free
for
all
occasions
,
than
to
be
obstinate
to
some
rules
.
—
Fortune
(
saith
Machiavel
)
is
a
Mistriss
,
that
is
sooner
won
by
those
that
ruffle
and
force
her
,
than
by
others
that
proceed
coldly
.
Indeed
he
was
charged
with
treachery
and
cowardize
in
the
action
against
the
Scots
,
1640.
but
he
came
off
with
his
honest
animosity
,
saying
,
If
he
might
but
fight
their
whole
Army
,
he
would
settle
Scotland
in
six
moneths
,
or
lose
his
head
:
—
being
in
that
,
of
my
Lord
of
Canterbury's
opinion
,
who
assured
his
Majesty
they
would
not
hold
out
four
:
a
motion
!
that
if
as
easily
entertained
by
that
gracious
King
as
it
was
effectually
pursued
by
the
bloody
Usurpers
,
a
sad
experience
hath
taught
us
and
them
,
would
have
prevented
much
mischief
there
,
more
here
;
especially
since
it
was
that
wise
Prince
his
judicious
observation
,
That
they
and
their
Confederates
were
a
people
lost
by
favour
,
and
won
by
punishment
.
Observations
on
the
Lives
of
the
Digges
.
MAster
Leonard
Digges
was
one
of
excellent
Learning
and
deep
judgement
.
His
minde
most
inclined
him
to
the
Mathematicks
,
and
he
was
the
best
Architect
in
that
age
for
all
manner
of
Buildings
,
for
conveniency
,
pleasure
,
state
,
strength
,
being
excellent
at
Fortifications
.
Lest
his
Learning
should
dye
with
him
,
for
the
publick
profit
,
he
printed
his
Tectonicon
,
Prognostick
General
,
Stratiotick
,
about
the
ordering
of
an
Army
,
and
other
Works
.
He
flourished
Anno
Dom.
1556.
and
dyed
I
believe
about
the
Reign
of
Queen
Elizabeth
,
when
as
in
most
growing
times
Arts
were
drowned
in
action
.
Nothing
else
have
I
to
observe
of
his
name
,
save
that
hereditary
Learning
may
seem
to
run
in
the
veins
of
his
Family
;
witnesse
Sir
Dudly
Digs
of
Chilham-Castle
,
made
Master
of
the
Rolls
,
in
the
yaer
1636.
whose
abilities
will
not
be
forgotten
,
whilest
our
age
hath
any
remembrance
.
This
Knight
had
a
younger
son
,
of
a
most
excellent
wit
,
and
a
great
judgement
,
Fellow
of
All-Souls
in
Oxford
,
who
in
the
beginning
of
our
Civil
Wars
wrote
so
subtile
&
solid
a
Treatise
of
the
difference
betwixt
King
and
Parliament
,
that
such
Royallists
who
have
since
handled
that
Controversie
,
have
written
plura
non
plus
;
yea
aliter
rather
than
alia
of
that
Subject
.
The
Son
writes
down
those
Rebellions
that
the
Father
countenanced
:
The
Father
,
I
say
,
who
by
a
bold
impeachment
against
his
Majesties
chief
Minister
of
State
,
to
his
face
,
taught
a
discontented
People
to
draw
a
bolder
against
his
Majesty
himself
:
—
Wherefore
it
was
,
that
(
after
his
undutiful
Prologue
against
his
Majesties
Prerogative
in
favouring
his
Servants
;
the
Preface
to
more
disloyal
methods
against
his
right
,
in
governing
his
People
)
he
and
Sir
John
Eliiot
were
whispered
out
of
the
Lords
House
,
when
they
were
hottest
against
the
Duke
,
to
speak
with
a
Gentleman
,
and
thence
sent
immediately
by
two
Pursevants
that
attended
,
to
the
Tower
;
where
,
and
in
the
Country
,
this
Gentleman
lay
under
just
displeasure
,
until
it
was
thought
fit
to
take
off
so
dangerous
a
piece
of
boldnesse
and
eloquence
upon
the
growing
distempers
of
the
age
by
favour
and
preferment
,
to
a
Neutrality
at
least
,
if
not
to
the
just
measures
of
his
duty
.
But
our
observation
here
is
this
;
That
faction
is
one
of
those
sins
,
whereof
the
Authors
repent
most
commonly
themselves
,
and
their
posterities
are
always
ashamed
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Tho.
Ridly
,
Dr.
LL.
THis
Knight
and
Dr.
was
born
at
Ely
in
Cambridge-shire
,
bred
first
a
Scholar
at
Eaton
in
Buckingham-shire
,
then
Fellow
of
Kings-Colledge
in
Cambridge
.
He
was
a
generall
Scholar
in
all
kinde
of
Learning
,
especially
in
that
which
we
call
Melior
Literatura
.
He
afterwards
was
Chancellor
of
Winchester
,
and
Vicar-general
to
the
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
.
His
memory
will
never
dye
,
whilest
his
Book
called
The
view
of
the
Ecclesiastical
Laws
is
living
;
a
book
of
so
much
merit
,
that
the
Common
Lawyers
(
notwithstanding
the
difference
betwixt
the
professions
)
will
ingenuously
allow
a
due
commendation
to
his
learned
performance
in
that
subject
:
Although
it
startled
them
to
hear
King
James
was
so
affected
with
it
,
insomuch
that
Sir
Edward
Coke
undertook
from
thence
to
prophecy
the
decay
of
the
Common-Law
:
though
in
that
prophecy
of
his
,
others
foresaw
nothing
but
his
fall
.
Never
book
came
out
more
seasonably
for
the
Church
than
this
;
never
Comment
came
out
more
suitably
,
than
Mr.
Gregories
Notes
upon
it
:
He
writ
well
,
and
advised
better
:
being
good
to
give
,
better
to
manage
Counsel
;
which
he
never
offered
till
called
,
and
never
urged
longer
then
it
pleased
;
answering
no
question
of
consequence
unlesse
upon
emergent
occasion
,
without
deliberation
;
observing
the
design
of
people
,
that
aske
most
commonly
to
try
his
sufficiency
,
as
well
as
improve
their
own
:
However
,
being
sure
that
time
is
likelier
to
increase
than
abate
the
weight
of
a
result
,
discovering
as
well
what
may
be
returned
suitably
to
the
general
temper
,
as
what
may
be
answered
fitly
to
the
particular
instance
.
What
alterations
he
designed
for
the
Churches
benefit
,
were
not
sodain
,
but
leisurely
.
To
force
men
out
of
one
extreamity
into
another
,
is
an
attempt
as
dangerous
,
as
it
is
invidious
;
as
awakening
most
opposition
,
and
obnoxious
to
most
hazard
.

*
In
Tiberio●
Tacitus
observeth
,
that
men
have
reformed
inveterate
habits
more
by
yielding
to
them
,
than
engaging
against
them
;
though
a
man
must
so
yield
as
not
to
encourage
,
while
he
doth
so
countermine
,
as
not
to
exasperate
:
Although
he
was
always
able
,
yet
was
he
never
willing
to
mend
the
Copy
his
Superiors
had
set
him
,
unlesse
owned
as
from
former
instruction
,
lest
they
grew
jealous
,
he
valued
his
own
experience
before
theirs
,
who
measure
mens
sufficiency
from
their
caution
,
and
not
from
their
parts
;
from
what
they
can
forbear
,
rather
than
from
what
they
can
do
.
To
conclude
,
he
was
one
of
those
able
men
that
cannot
be
eminent
,
unlesse
they
be
great
;
men
of
great
merit
,
behave
themselves
so
negligently
in
small
affairs
,
as
that
you
shall
never
understand
their
abilities
,
unlesse
you
advance
their
persons
.
Mens
capacities
&
sufficiencies
have
certain
bound●
prescribed
them
;
within
the
limits
of
which
they
are
able
to
acquit
themselves
with
credit
and
applause
:
But
if
you
advance
them
above
,
or
depre
〈…〉
them
below
their
spheres
,
they
shew
nothing
but
debilities
and
miscarriages
.
Onely
this
he
was
alway●
commended
for
;
That
having
the
management
of
Affairs
intrusted
to
him
,
he
under
went
all
the
miscarriages
himself
,
ascribing
all
the
honour
and
sufficency
to
his
Patron
;
carrying
his
hand
in
all
actions
so
,
that
his
Master
had
the
applause
of
what
ever
was
either
conceded
or
denyed
in
publick
,
without
any
other
interruption
from
Mr.
Ridley
,
than
what
became
the
bare
instrument
of
his
commands
,
however
he
ordered
the
mater
in
private

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Henry
Martin
.
HE
would
merrily
say
,
That
if
his
Father
had
left
him
fourscore
pounds
a
year
,
where
he
left
him
but
forty
,
he
would
never
have
been
a
Scholar
,
but
have
lived
on
his
Lands
:
whereas
his
Inheritance
being
a
large
encouragement
,
but
a
small
maintenance
,
he
made
up
in
study
what
he
wanted
in
Estate
;
first
at
Winchester
,
and
then
at
New-Colledge
,
where
his
inclination
led
him
to
Divinity
,
but
Bishop
Andrews
his
advice
perswaded
him
to
the
Civil
Law
,
wherein
he
attained
that
great
proficiency
he
was
eminent
for
,
thus
:
—
He
had
weekly
transmitted
to
him
from
some
Proctors
at
Lambeth
,
the
brief
heads
of
the
most
important
Causes
which
were
to
be
tryed
in
the
High-Commission
.
Then
with
some
of
his
familiar
friends
in
that
faculty
,
he
privately
pleaded
those
Causes
;
acting
in
their
Chamber
what
was
done
in
the
Court
:
But
Mr.
Martin
making
it
his
work
,
exceeded
the
rest
in
amplifying
and
aggravating
any
fault
,
to
move
anger
and
indignation
against
the
guilt
thereof
;
or
else
in
extenuating
or
excusing
it
,
to
procure
pity
,
obtain
pardon
,
or
at
least
prevail
for
a
lighter
punishment
:
—
Whence
no
Cause
came
amisse
to
him
in
the
High
Commission
:
For
,
saith
my
Author
,
he
was
not
to
make
new
Armour
,
but
onely
to
put
it
on
,
and
buckle
it
;
not
to
invent
,
but
apply
arguments
to
his
Clients
.
—
As
in
decision
of
Controversies
in
his
Courts
,
he
had
a
moderate
and
middle
way
:
so
in
managing
of
affairs
in
Parliament
,
he
had
a
healing
Method
:
Whence
in
most
Debates
with
the
Lords
,
where
Mr.
Noy's
Law
and
Reason
could
not
convince
,

For

services

he
was
made
Judge

SIr
John

,
Knight
,
was
born
at
Maldon
in
Essex
,
bred
up
in
the
Middle-Temple
in
the
study
of
the
Common-law
,
wherein
he
attained
to
such
eminency
,
that
he

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Augustine
Nicols
.
SIr
August
.
Nicols
,
son
to
Tho.
Nicols
,
Sergeant
at
Law
,
was
born
at
Ecton
in
Northampton-shire
.
Now
though
according
to
the
rigour
of
our
Fundamental
Premises
,
he
be
not
within
our
cognisance
under
this
Title
,
yet
his
merit
will
justifie
us
in
presenting
his
Chracter
.
He
was
bred
in
the
study
of
the
Common-Law
;
wherein
he
attained
to
such
knowledge
,
that
Qu:
Eliz.
made
him
,
and
K.
James
continued
him
his
own
Serjeant
,
whence
he
was
freely
preferred
one
of
the
Judges
of
the
Common-Pleas
.
I
say
freely
,
King
James
commonly
calling
him
the
Judge
that
would
give
no
money
.
Not
to
speak
of
his
moral
qualifications
,
and
subordinate
abilities
;
he
was
renowned
for
his
special
judiciary
Endowments
;
of
very
calm
affections
and
moderate
passions
;
of
a
grave
and
affible
deportment
;
of
a
great
patience
to
hear
both
Parties
all
they
could
say
;
a
happy
memory
;
〈◊〉
singular
sagacity
to
search
into
the
material
circumstances
;
Exemplary
integrity
,
even
to
the
rejection
of
Gratuities
after
Judgement
given
,
and
a
charge
to
his
Followers
,
that
they
came
to
their
Places
clear-handed
,
and
that
they
should
not
meddle
with
any
Motions
to
him
,
that
he
might
be
secured
from
all
appearance
of
corruption
.
His
forbearing
to
travail
on
the
Lords
day
,
wrought
a
Reformation
on
some
of
his
own
Order
.
Very
pitiful
and
tender
he
was
in
case
of
life
,
yet
very
exact
in
case
of
blood
.
He
loved
plain
and
profitable
Preaching
,
being
wont
to
say
,
I
know
not
what
you
call
Preaching
,
but
I
like
them
that
come
neerest
to
my
Conscience
.
The
speech
of
Caesar
is
commonly
known
;
Oportet
Imperatorem
stantem
mori
;
which
Bishop
Jewel
altered
and
applyed
to
himself
,
Decet
Episcopum
concionantem
mori
:
of
this
man
it
may
be
said
,
Judex
mortuus
est
jura
dans
;
dying
in
his
Calling
,
as
he
went
the
Northern
Circuit
,
and
hath
a
fair
Monument
in
Kendal-Church
in
Westmerland
.
This
I
observe
of
this
good
man
;
that
he
was
so
good
a
man
,
that
in
the
ruffling
times
he
could
be
but
a
bad
Magistrate
,
Cum
vel
exeunda
sit
natura
,
vel
minuenda
dignitas
:
when
he
must
either
go
out
of
his
easie
nature
,
or
forgo
his
just
authority
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Nich.
Hyde
.
SIr
Nicholas
Hyde
was
born
at
Warder
in
Wiltshire
,
where
his
Father
in
right
of
his
Wife
had
a
long
Lease
of
that
Castle
from
the
Family
of
the
Arundels
.
His
Father
,
I
say
(
descended
from
an
antient
Family
in
Cheshire
)
a
fortunate
Gentleman
in
all
his
children
,
(
and
more
in
his
Grand-children
)
some
of
his
under-boughs
outgrowing
the
top-branch
,
and
younger
children
(
amongst
whom
Sir
Nicholas
)
in
wealth
and
honour
exceeding
the
rest
of
his
Family
.
He
was
bred
in
the
Middle-Temple
,
and
was
made
Sergeant
at
Law
the
first
of
February
,
1626.
〈◊〉
on
the
eighth
day

was

Lord
Chief-Justice
of

Sir
James
Ley
(
than
alive
,
and
preferred
Lord
Treasurer
,
born
within
two
miles
one
of
another
)
and
next
of
all
under
Sir
Francis
Crew
lately
displaced
.
Now
,
though
he
entred
on
his
Place
with
some
disadvantage
(
Sir
Randal
being
generally
popular
)
and
though
in
those
dayes
,
it
was

for
the

Person
to

yet
he
discharged
his
Office
with
laudable
integrity
,
until

on

bou●ty
to
all
of
worth
or
want
,
so
that
he
might
see●
to
be
Almoner-general
of
the
Nation
.
The
story
is
well
known
,
of
a
Gentleman
who
once
borrowing
his
Coach
(
which
was
as
well
known
to
poor
people
as
any
Hospital
in
England
)
was
so
rendevouz'd
about
with
Beggars
in
London
,
that
it
cost
him
all
the
money
in
his
purse
to
sati●fie
their
importunity
,
so
that
he
might
have
hired
twenty
Coaches
on
the
same
terms
.
Sir
Francis
Bacon
Lord
Verulam
was
judicious
in
his
Election
,
when
perceiving
his
Dissolution
to
approach
,
he
made
his
last
Bed
in
effect
in
the
house
of
Sir
Julius
.
He
continued
more
then
twenty
years
Mr.
of
the
Rolls
;
and
though
heaved
at
by
some
Expectants
,
sate
still
in
his
Place
,
well
poysed
therein
,
with
his
gravity
and
integrity

Nor
was
it
without

Omen

Here
his
Seal
or
Coat
of
Arms
is
affixed
,
and
beneath
them
is
written
Irrotulatur

He
dyed
the
twenty

in
the
seventy

year
of
his
Age.
They
say
of
Witches
,
that
they
are
unable
to
hurt
till
they
have
received
an
Almes
.
It
's
certain
,
none
ever
undermined
this
Gentleman's
insufficiency
,
but
such
as
were
advanced
by
his
civility
;
a
civility
that
secured
him
,
as
well
as
it
impowered
them
,
making
his
Grants
to
all
persons
double
kindnesses
by
Expedition
,
and
cloathing
his
very
Denyals
in
such
robes
of
Courtship
,
as
that
it
was
not
obviously
discernable
whether
the
Request
or
De●yal
were
most
decent
;
having
this
peculiar
to
himself
,
That
he
was
very
cautious
of
Promises
,
lest
falling
to
an
Incapacity
of
performance
,
he
might
forfeit
his
Reputation
,
and
multiply
his
certain
Enemies
,
by
his
design
of
creating
uncertain
Friends
.
Besides
,
he
observed
a
sure
principle
of
rising
,
viz.
That
great
persons
esteem
better
of
such
they
have
done
great
Courtesies
to
,
than
those
they
have
received
greater
Civilities
from
;
looking
upon
this
as
their
disparagement
,
the
other
as
their
glory
.

with
no
lesse
faithfulnesse
and
prudence
in
their
Negotiations
abroad
,
than
honour
and
justice
in
their
Places
at
home
:
Of
such
a
Stock
of
reputation
,
as
might
kindle
a
generous
emulation
in
Strangers
,
and
a
noble
ambition
in
those
of
their
own
Family
.
Henry
Cary
,
Viscount
Falkland
in
Scotland
,
son
to
Sir
Edward
Cury
,
was
born
at
Aldnam
in
Hertfordshire
:
being
a
most
accomplished
Gentleman
,
and
a
compleat
Courtier
.
By
King
James
he
was
appointed
Lord
Deputy
of
Ireland
,
and
well
discharged
his
Trust
therein
:
But

The
Rebellious
Irish
will
complain
,
onely
because
kept
in
subjection
,
though
with
never
so
much
lenity
;
the
occasion
why
some
hard
speeches
were
passed
on
his
Government
.
Some
beginning
to
counterfeit
his
hand
,
he
used
to
incorporate
th●
year
of
his
age
in
a
knot

beneath
h

,
concealing
the
day
of
his
birth

Thus
by
comparing
the
date
of
the
month
,
with
his
own
Birth-day
(
unknown
to
such
Forgers
)
〈◊〉
not
onely
discovered
many
false
Writings
which
were
past
,
but
also
deterred
dishonest
Cheated
from
attempting
the
like
for
the
future
.
He
made
good
use
of
Bishop
Vsher's
Interest
while
he
was
there
,
as
appears
by
the
excellent
Speech
that
the
Bishop
made
for
the
King's
supply
.
Being
recalled
into
England
,
he
lived
honourably
in
the
County
aforesaid
,
until
by
a
sad
casualty
he

being
Father
to
the
most
accomplished
States-man
,
2.
Lucius
Lord
Falkland
,
the
wildness
of
whose
youth
was
an
argument
of
the
quicknesse
of
his
riper
years
:
He
that
hath
a
spirit
to
be
unruly
before
the
use
of
his
reason
,
hath
mettle
to
be
active
afterwards
.
Quick-silver
if
fixed
,
is
incomparable
;
besides
that
the
adventures
,
contrivances
,
secrets
,
confidence
,
trust
,
compliance
with
opportunity
,
and
the
other
sallies
of
young
Gallants
,
prepare
them
more
serious
undertakings
,
—
as
they
did
this
noble
Lord
;
great
in
his
●own
,
greater
in
his
Buffe
;
able
with
his
Sword
,
abler
with
his
Pen
:
a
knowing
States-man
,
a
learned
Scholar
,
and
a
stout
man●
:
One
instance
of
that
excess
in
learning
and
other
great
perfections
,
which
portended
ruine
to
this
Nation
in
their
opinion
,
who
write
,
that
all
Extreams
,
whether
of
Vertue
or
Vice
,
are
ominous
,
especially
that
unquiet
thing
call'd
Learning
,
whose
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
signifieth
its
own
period
,
and
that
of
the
Empire
it
flourisheth
in
;
a
too
universally
dilated
Learning
,
being
not
faithful
to
the
settlements
either
of
Policy
or
Religion
;
it
being
no
lesse
rea●ly
to
discover
blemishes
in
the
one
,
than
Incongruities
in
the
other
:
Sophisters
(
saith
my
smart
Author
)
like
the
Countrey
of
the
Switz
,
being
as
able
upon
the
least
advantage
proposed
,
to
engage
on
the
wrong
side
as
on
the
sight
.
As
to
go
no
further
,
this
excellent
Personage
being
among
the
Demagogues
that
had
been
for
twelve
years
silenced
,
and
were
now
to
play
the
prize
in
Parliament
,
and
shew
their
little
twit-twat
,
but
tedious
faculties
of
speaking
,
makes
the
bitterest
Invective
against
the
Governours
and
government
of
the
Church
,
that
ever
was
penned
in
English
;
which
though
designed
by
him
,
it'●
thought
,
onely
to
allay
the
fury
of
the
Faction
,
by
some
compliance
with
it
,
carried
things
beyond
the
moderation
and
decency
of
that
Assembly
,
which
he
made
too
hot
for
himself
,
retyring
in
cooler
thoughts
,
as
many
more
(
that
like
Brutus
could
not
lay
the
storms
they
had
raised
)
to
Oxford
,
where
his
Pen
was
more
honourably
employed
in
detecting
the
fundamental
Errour
of
Rome
their
infallibility
,
and
countermining
the
main
props
of
Westminster
their
Hypoerisie
;
this
as
Secretary
,
the
other
as
a
Student
—
in
both
laying
open
the
little
pretensions
,
whereby
poor
people
were
insnared
in
their
Civil
and
Religious
Liberty
.
—
Much
was
the
gall
always
in
his
Inke
,
and
very
sharp
his
Pen
;
but
even
,
flowing
,
and
full
his
Style
,
such
as
became
him
,
whose
Learning
was
not
an
unsetled
masse
of
reading
that
whirled
up
and
down
in
his
head
,
but
fixed
Observations
,
that
tempered
with
solid
prudence
and
experience
,
were
the
steady
Maximes
of
his
Soul
fitted
for
all
times
and
occasions
;
he
having
sate
(
as
some
Noble-mens
sons
used
to
do
formerly
in
the
House
of
Lords
)
behind
the
Chair
of
State
from
his
very
child-hood
,
and
owning
a
large
heart
capable
of
making
that
universal
inspection
into
things
that
much
becomes
a
Gentleman
,
being
a
Master
in
any
thing
he
discoursed
of
.
—
Insomuch
that
his
general
knowledge
husbanded
by
his
wit
,
and
set
off
by
his
Meine
and
Carriage
,
attracted
many
to
come
as
far
to
see
him
,
as
he
prosessed
he
would
go
to
see
Mr.
Daillee
—
which
rendred
him
no
lesse
necessary
than
admirable
at
Court
,
until
his
Curiosity
engaging
him
at
Newbery
,
he
was
strangely
slain
there
,
dying
as
he
lived
till
then
,
between
his
Friends
and
Enemies
,
to
the
King
's
great
grief
,
who
valued
him
,
because
he
understood
his
parts
and
services
in
the
Treaty
at
Oxford
,
where
he
was
eminent
for
two
things
;
the
timing
of
Propositions
,
and
concealing
of
Inclinations
;
though
no
man
so
passionate
for
his
design
,
as
never
enduring
that
hope
that
holds
resolution
so
long
in
suspence
,
but
ever
allaying
it
with
that
fear
that
most
commonly
adviseth
the
best
by
supposing
the
worst
.
—
His
usual
saying
was
,
I
pity
unlearned
Gentlemen
in
a
rainy
day
.
3.
He
was
Father
first
to
Henry
Lord
Falkland
,
whose
quick
and
extraordinary
parts
and
notable
spirit
performed
much
,
and
promised
more
,
having
a
great
command
in
the
Countrey
where
he
was
Lord-Lieutenant
,
a
general
respect
in
the
house
where
he
was
Member
,
a
great
esteem
at
Court
(
with
his
Majesty
and
his
Royal
Highness
the
Duke
of
Yorke
)
where
he
was
both
wit
,
and
wisdome
.
—
When
there
was
the
first
opportunity
offered
to
honest
men
to
act
,
he
laid
hold
of
it
,
and
got
in
spight
of
all
opposition
,
to
a
thing
called
a
Parliament
:
By
same
token
,
that
when
some
urged
he
had
not
sowed
his
wilde
Oats
,
he
is
said
to
reply
;
If
I
have
not
,
I
may
sowe
them
in
the
House
,
where
there
are
Geese
enough
to
pick
them
up
.
And
when
Sir
F.
N.
should
tell
him
he
was
a
little
too
wilde
for
so
grave
a
service
,
he
is
reported
to
reply
;
Alas
!
I
am
wilde
,
and
my
Father
was
so
before
me
,
and
I
am
no
Bastard
,
—
as
,
&c.
In
which
Contention
he
out-did
the
most
active
Demagogues
at
their
own
weapon
,
speaking
.
When
Major
Huntington
and
his
followers
were
for
the
long
Parliament
,
Sir
F.
N.
L.
S
,
&c.
were
for
the
secluded
Members
,
My
Lord
carried
all
the
County
for
an
absolute
free
Parliament
;
which
he
lived
to
see
,
and
act
in
so
successfully
,
that
he
was
voted
generally
higher
in
trusts
and
services
,
had
he
not
been
cut
off
in
the
prime
of
his
years
;
as
much
missed
when
dead
,
as
beloved
when
living
—
A
great
instance
of
what
a
strict
Education
(
for
no
man
was
harder
bred
)
a
general
Converse
,
and
a
noble
Temper
can
arrive
to
;
and
what
an
Orator
can
do
in
a
Democracy
,
where
the
Affections
of
many
is
to
be
wrought
upon
,
rather
than
the
judgement
of
few
to
be
convinced
.
A
golden
tongue
falling
under
a
subtle
head
under
such
a
constitution
,
hath
great
influence
upon
the
whole
Nation

Observations

Life

,
Earl
of

SIr
James
Ley
,
son
of
Henry
Ley
Esquire
(
one
of
great
Ancestry
,
who
,
saith
my
Author
,
on
his
own
cost
,
with
his
men
,
valiantly
served
King
Henry
the
Eighth
,
at
the
siege
of
Boloin
)
being
his
Fathers
sixth
son
,
(
and
so
in
probability
barred
of
his
inheritance
)
endeavoured
to
make
himself
an
Heir
by
his
Education
,
applying
his
book
in
Brazen
Nose-Colledge
,
and
afterwards
studying
the
Laws
of
the
Land
in
Lincolns-Inne
,
wherein
such
his
proficiency
,
King
James
made
him
Lord
Chief-Justice
in
Ireland
.
Here
he
practised
the
charge
King
James
gave
him
at
his
going
over
,
(
yea
,
what
his
own
tender
Conscience
gave
himself
)
namely
,
not
to
build
his
Estate
upon
the
ruines
of
a
miserable
Nation
,
but
aiming
by
the
unpartial
execution
of
Justice
,
not
to
enrich
himself
,
but
civilize
the
People
.
But
the
wise
King
would
no
longer
loose
him
out
of
his
own
Land
,
and
therefore
recalled
him
home
about
the
time
when
his
Fathers
Inheritance
,
by
the
death
of
his
five
elder
brethren
descended
upon
him
.
It
was
not
long

Gravity
,
Ability

and
Integrity
:
And
as
the
Caspian
Sea
is
observed
neither
to
ebbe
nor

,
so
his
minde
did
not
rise
or
fall
,
but
continued
the
same
constancy
in
all
conditions
;
a
good
temper
enough
for
a
Judge
,
but
not
for
a
States-man
,
and
for
any
States-man
,
but
a
Lord
Treasurer
;

in

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Henry
Vere
Earl
of
Oxford
.
THis
noble
person
had
more
of
the
Camp
in
h
〈…〉
temper
than
the
Court
;
whence
his
roug●
Armour-constitution
grated
often
against
the
our
tiers
Silks
;
for
when
one
of
them
laughed
at
h
〈…〉
milk-white
Feather
,
he
returned
smartly
upon
him
with
reflections
on
his
Ancestors
,
That
it
had
no
〈…〉
in
t
in
it
.
His
Predecessors
had
not
been
more
〈…〉
placable
enemies
to
Spain
in
the
Low-Countries
,
〈…〉
an
he
was
at
White-Hall
,
backing
those
arguments
against
the
Match
stoutly
in
the
Presence-Chamber
,
that
Doctor
Hackwel
had
urged
zealously
in
the
Pulpit
;
and
as
resolutely
suffering
imprisonment
for
the
one
,
as
the
Doctor
did
suspension
for
the
other
;
declaring
himself
as
freely
against
the
Agent
Gondomar
,
as
against
his
business
,
●he
Marriage
:
For
chancing
to
meet
Gondomar
at
●n
Entertainment
,
the
Don
accosted
him
with
high
Complements
,
vowing
;
That
amongst
all
the
〈…〉
obility
of
England
,
there
was
none
he
had
tendered
his
service
to
with
more
sincerity
than
to
his
Lordship
,
though
hitherto
such
his
unhappinesse
,
that
his
affections
were
not
accepted
according
to
his
integrity
that
tendered
them
.
It
seems
(
replyed
the
Earl
of
Oxford
)
that
your
Lordship
hath
good
leisure
,
when
〈…〉
ping
in
your
thoughts
to
one
so
inconsiderable
as
my self
,
whose
whole
life
hath
afforded
but
two
things
memorable
therein
.
It
is
your
Lordships
modesty
(
returned
the
Spaniard
)
to
undervalue
your self
,
whilest
we
the
spectators
of
your
Honours
deserts
,
make
a
true
and
impartial
estimate
thereof
;
hundreds
of
memorables
have
met
in
your
Lordshipe
life
:
But
,
〈…〉
od
my
Lord
,
what
are
those
two
signal
things
more
〈…〉
spicuous
than
all
the
rest
?
They
are
these
two
(
said
the
Earl
)
I
was
born
in
the
year
88
,
and
chri
〈…〉ned
on
the
fifth
of
November
.
Neither
was
he
a
more
inveterate
enemy
to
the
Church
of
Rome
,
than
a
cordial
friend
to
that
of
England
;
for
presenting
one
Mr.
Copinger
to
〈…〉
neham
,
he
added
,
to
try
him
,
He
would
pay
no
tythes
of
his
Parke
:
Mr.
Copinger
desired
again
to
resign
it
to
his
Lordship
,
rather
than
by
such
sinful
gratitude
to
betray
the
rights
of
the
Church
.
—
Well
,
if
you
be
of
that
minde
(
said
the
Earl
)
then
take
the
tythes
;
I
scorn
that
my
Estate
should
swell
with
Church-goods
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
John
Cook
.
SIr
John
Cook
,
younger
brother
to
Sir
Francis
Cook
,
born
at
Trusley
(
in
the
Hundred
of
Apple-tree
)
in
Derby-shire
,
of
ancient
and
worshipful
Parentage
,
and
allied
to
the
best
Family
in
that
County
;
was
bred
Fellow
of
Trinity-Colledge
in
Cambridg
,
where
his
wit
being
designed
his
Estate
,
he
was
chosen
Rhetorick-Lecturer
in
the
University
,
where
he
grew
eminent
for
his
ingenious
and
critical
reading
in
that
School
,
where
Rhetorick
seemed
to
be
not
so
much
an
art
,
as
his
nature
;
being
not
onely
the
subject
,
but
the
very
frame
of
his
discourse
:
then
travelled
he
beyond
the
Seas
for
some
years
(
when
his
judgement
was
fitted
for
Foreign
observations
by
Domestick
experience
)
in
the
company
of
a
person
of
quality
,
returning
thence
rich
in
Languages
,
Remarks
,
and
Experience
,
waving
all
the
dangers
incident
to
him
for
his
Religion
,
by
a
wary
profession
,
that
he
came
to
learn
,
and
not
to
search
.
Being
first
related
to
Sir
Fulke
Grevil
,
Lord
Brook
,
who
did
all
men●
business
but
his
own
;
He
was
thence
preferred
to
be
Secretary
of
the
Navy
,
then
Master
of
the
Requests
,
and
at
last
Secretary
of
State
for
twenty
years
together
.
Being
a
very
zealous
Protestant
,
he
did
all
good
offices
for
the
advancement
of
true
Religion
:
His
Contemporaries
character
him
a
grave
and
a
prudent
man
in
gate
,
apparel
,
and
speech
;
one
that
had
his
Intellectuals
very
perfect
in
the
dispatch
of
businesse
till
he
was
eighty
years
old
;
when
foreseeing
those
Intrigues
that
might
be
too
hard
for
his
years
,
he
with
his
Majesties
good
leave
retyred
as
Moses
did
,
to
dye
when
his
eyes
were
not
dim
,
&c.
having
kept
himself
strictly
to
the
Law
of
the
Land
:
Insomuch
,
that
being
sent
to
command
Bishop
Williams
from
Westminster
;
and
being
asked
by
the
stout
Bishop
,
by
what
authority
he
commanded
a
man
out
of
his
house
and
his
free-hold
,
he
was
so
tender
of
the
point
,
that
he
never
rested
till
he
had
his
pardon
for
it
.
Much
ado
he
had
to
keep
the
King's
favour
for
his
compliance
with
the
Faction
,
witness
his
third
submission
;
and
as
much
ado
to
retain
the
Factions
good
opinion
for
his
service
to
the
King
,
witnesse
his
several
Apologies
in
Parliament
to
this
purpose
;
That
it
was
a
hard
thing
,
that
they
who
should
have
thanks
for
the
good
offices
they
did
the
People
with
the
KING
,
had
now
nothing
but
censures
for
the
same
offices
they
did
the
King
with
his
People
.

which
he
could
never
have
done
,
but
that
his
old
rule
safe-guarded
him
,
viz.
That
no
man
should
let

neither

in

,

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Geo.
Crook
.
SIr
George
Crook
,
son
of
Sir
John
Crook
,
and
Elizabeth
Vnton
his
Wife
,
was
born
at
Chilton
in
Buckinghamshire
,
in
the
second
year
of
the
Reign
of
Queen
Elizabeth
;
bred
first
in
Oxford
,
then
a
double
Reader
in
the
Inner
Temple
,
Sergeant
at
Law
,
and
the
King's
Sergeant
;
Justice
first
of
the
Common
Bench
,
22
Jac.
and
then
of
the
Upper
Bench
,
4
Caroli
.
His
ability
in
his
Profession
is
sufficiently
attested
by
his
own
printed
Reports
;
Eight
eminent
Judges
of
the
Law
out
of
their
knowledge
of
his
great
Wisdom
,
Learning
,
and
Integrity
,
approving
and
allowing
them
to
be
published
for
the
common
benefit
.
His
onely
defect
was
,
that
he
was
against
the
ancient
Naval-aid
called
Ship-money
,
both
publickly
in
Westminster-Hall
,
and
privately
in
his
judgement
demanded
by
the
King
,
even
at
that
time
when
our
Neighbours
not
onely
incroached
upon
our
Trade
,
but
disputed
our
right
in
the
Narrow-seas
,
though
concluded
to
subscribe
(
according
to
the
course
of
the
Court
)
by
plurality
of
Voices
.
The
Country-mans
wit
(
levelled
to
his
brain
)
will
not
for
many
years
be
forgotten
;
That
Ship-money
may
be
gotten
by
Hook
,
and
not
by
Crook
;
though
since
they
have
paid
Taxes
(
Leynes
to
the
little
finger
,
and
Scorpions
to
the
rod
of
Ship-money
)
but
whether
by
Hook
or
Crook
,
let
others
enquire
:
Hampden's
share
for
which
he
went
to
Law
,
being
but
eighteen
shillings
,
though
it
cost
the
Nation
since
eighteen
millions
.
Considering
his
declining
and
decaying
age
,
and
desiring
to
examine
his
life
,
and
prepare
an
account
to
the
supream
Judge
,
he
petitioned
King
Charles
for
a
Writ
of
Ease
;
which
though
in
some
sort
denyed
,
(
what
wise
Master
would
willingly
part
with
a
good
Servant
?
)
was
in
effect
granted
unto
him
.
For
the
good
King
(
exacting
from
his
Subjects
no
services
beyond
their
years
and
abilities
;
and
taking
it
better
at
his
hands
,
that
he
confessed
his
infirmities
,
than
if
he
had
concealed
them
)
discharged
him
from
the
pains
,
though
he
allowed
him
the
fees
and
honour
of
Chief-Justice
while
he
lived
.
—
Wherefore
in
gratitude
as
well
as
conscience
,
however
he
was
misled
in
the
foresaid
matter
of
Ship-money
,
he
abhorred
the
Faction
heartily
,
for
he
would
say
of
Hampden
,
He
is
a
dangerous
person
,
take
heed
of
him
:
—
and
loved
the
Church
as
heartily
;
for
we
are
told
by
a
person
of
great
worth
and
credit
,
That

read
over
the
book
of
Canons

when
it

came
out
,
and
was

much
spoken

lifted
up

and
gave
hearty
thanks
to
Almighty
God
,
that
he
had
lived
to
see
such
good
effects
of
a
Convocation

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Rob.
Armstroder
.
HE
was
a
great
Soldier
,
a
skilful
Antiquary
,
and
a
good
Fellow
:
In
the
first
capacity
I
finde
him
bringing
off
five
hundred
English
for
three
miles
together
without
the
losse
of
a
man
,
from
six
thousand
Spanyards
,
along
a
plain
Champion
,
where
the
Enemy
might
have
surrounded
them
at
pleasure
.
—
Well
he
could
handle
bright
Armour
in
the
Field
,
better
he
understood
that
more
rusty
in
the
Tower
;
therefore
in
his
second
capacity
we
have
him
picking
up
old
Coyn
,
traluing
more
a
Dollar
which
he
might
study
,
than
a
pound
he
might
spend
:
Yet
though
his
minde
was
taken
with
the
Curiosities
of
former
Times
,
his
●nclination
was
very
compliant
with
the
mode
of
his
own
;
for
he
was
excellent
company
,
in
which
capacity
none
more
prevalent
than
he
in
Germany
,
where
they
talk
much
;
none
more
acceptable
in
Denmarke
,
where
they
drink
hard
;
none
more
taking
in
Sweden
,
where
they
droll
smartly
.
His
humble
proposition
and
submission
in
behalf
of
the
Elector
,
was
accepted
by
the
Emperour
,
1630.
He
went
to
Denmarke
;
and
the
first
night
he
arrived
he
pleased
the
King
so
well
in
drinking
healths
,
that
his
Majestie
ordered
that
his
businesse
should
be
dispatched
that
very
night
,
and
he
shipped
when
asleep
,
as
he
was
to
his
own
amazement
when
awaked
,
and
the
amazement
of
all
England
when
returned
;
he
being
here
before
some
thought
he
had
been
there
.
—
Humour
is
the
Mistresse
of
the
world
.
Neither
was
he
more
intent
upon
the
pleasing
of
Foreign
Princes
,
than
careful
in
the
honour
of
his
own
,
especially
in
his
faith
,
word
,
and
impregnable
honesty
;
for
he
knew
a
faithlesse
Prince
is
beloved
of
none
;
but
suspected
by
his
friends
,
not
trusted
of
his
enemies
,
—
and
forsaken
of
all
men
in
his
greatest
necessities
.
Yet
he
was
not
so
taken
with
antique
Medals
abroad
,
but
he
promoted
a
new
invention
at
home
:
for
to
him

it

place
.
—
General
Tilly
would
say
before
Gustavus
Adolphus
came
into
Germany
,
that
he
was
happy
for
three
things
;
That
he
heard
Masse
daily
;
that
he
had
never
touched
a
woman
;
and
that
he
had
never
lost
a
battel
.
—
What-ever
Sir
Robert
could
say
to
the
first
,
he
was
very
prosperous
for
the
last
;
that
he
never
failed
of
success
either
in
fighting

;
in

That

most

When
he
was

of

,
he
studied
those

being
a

Patron

of

he

furnished

(
as
we
may
guess

that

they

he

back

England

May
it

the

it

,
that
thereupon
a
schedule
was

such
Recusants
as
were
Hispanioliz'd

whereof
this
Earl
was
none
:
but
though
as
a
Church-Papist
he
had
most
of
the
Catholick
Peers
votes
devolved
on
him
;
he
never
bestowed
them
undutifully
,
albeit
sometimes
stoutly
,
and
resolutely
.
A
great
friend
he
was
to
all
new
Inventions
,
save
those
that
tended
to
do
that
by
few
hands
,
which
had
been
usually
done
by

said

,
While

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Esme
Duke
of
Richmond
.
GReat
in
his
Ancestors
honour
,
greater
in
his
own
vertu
,
and
greatest
of
all
,
in
that
like
the
Star
he
wore
,
the
higher
he
was
,
the
lesse
he
desired
to
seem
,
affecting
rather
the
〈◊〉
,
than
the
pomp
of
noblenesse
;
—
therefore
his
courtesie
was
his
nature
not
his
craft
;
and
his
affableness
not
a
base
&
servile
popularity
,
or
an
ambitious
insinuation
;
but
the
native
gentlenesse
of
his
disposition
,
and
his
true
value
of
himself
:
He
was
not
a
stranger
to
any
thing
worth
knowing
,
but
best
acquainted
with
himself
,
and
in
himself
,
rather
with
his
weaknesses
for
Caution
,
than
his
abilities
for
Action
.
Hence
he
is
not
so
forward
in
the
traverses
of
War
,
as
in
Treaties
of
Peace
,
where
his
honour
ennobled
his
cause
,
and
his
moderation
advanced
it
:
He
and
my
Lord
of
Southampton
managing
the
several
Overtures
of
Peace
at
London
,
Oxford
,
and
Oxbridge
with
such
honourable
freedome
and
prudence
,
that
they
were
not
more
deservedly
regarded
by
their
Friends
,
than
importunately
courted
they
their
Enemies
;
who
seeing
they
were
such
,
could
not
be
patient
till
they
were
theirs
,
though
in
●ain
,
their
honours
being
impregnable
as
well
against
the
Factions
kindnesse
as
against
their
power
.
At
Conferences
his
conjectures
were
as
solid
as
others
judgements
;
his
strict
observation
of
what
was
passed
,
furnishing
him
for
an
happy
guesse
of
what
was
to
come
:
Yet
his
opinion
was
neither
variably
unconstant
,
nor
obstinately
immoveable
,
but
framed
to
present
occasions
,
wherein
his
method
was
to
begin
a
second
advice
from
the
failure
of
his
first
,
—
though
he
hated
doubtful
suspense
,
when
he
might
be
resolute
.
This
one
great
defect
was
his
good
nature
,
that
he
could
never
distrust
till
it
was
dangerous
to
suspect
:
and
he
gave
his
Enemy
so
much
advantage
,
that
he
durst
but
own
him
for
his
friend
.
—
One
thing
he
repented
of
,
that
he
advised
his
Majestie
to
trust
Duke
Hamilton
his
Adversary
with
the
affairs
of
Scotland
,
in
compliance
with
the
general
opinion
,
rather
than
the
Marquess
Huntly
his
friend
in
compliance
with
his
own
real
interest
;
an
advice
wherein
his
publick-spiritednesse
superseded
his
particular
concerns
and
his
good
nature
his
prudence
:
—
So
true
is
it
,
that
the
honest
mans
single
uprightnesse
works
in
him
that
confidence
,
which
oft-times
wrongs
him
,
and
gives
advantage
to
the
subtle
,
while
he
rather
pities
their
faithlesness
,
than
repents
of
his
credulity
:
so
great
advantage
have
they
that
look
onely
what
they
may
do
,
over
them
that
consider
what
they
should
do
;
and
they
that
observe
onely
what
is
expedient
,
over
them
that
judge
onely
what
is
lawful
.
—
Therefore
when
those
that
thought
themselves
wise
,
left
their
sinking
Soveraign
,
he
stuck
to
his
Person
while
he
lived
,
to
his
body
when
dead
,
and
to
his
cause
as
long
as
he
lived
himself
:
—
attending
the
first
resolutely
,
burying
the
second
honourably
,
and
managing
the
third
discreetly
;
undertaking
without
rashnesse
,
and
performing
without
fear
;
never
seeking
dangers
,
never
avoiding
them
.
Although
when
his
Friends
were
conquered
by
the
Rebels
,
he
was
conquered
by
himself
,
retyring
to
that
privacy
,
where
he
was
guessed
at
,
not
known
;
where
he
saw
the
world
unseen
;
where
he
made
yielding
a
conquest
;
where
cheerful
&
unconcerned
in
expectation
,
he
provided
for
the
worst
,
and
hoped
the
best
,
in
the
constant
exercise
of
that
Religion
,
which
he
&
his
maintained
more
effectually
with
their
Examples
,
than
with
their
Swords
;
doing
as
much
good
in
encouraging
the
Orthodox
by
his
presence
as
in
relieving
them
by
his
bounty
.
—
In
a
word
,
I
may
say
of
him
,
as
Macarius
doth
of
Justine
;
There
was
no
Vice
but
he
thought
below
him
;
and
no
Vertue
which
he
esteemed
not
either
his
duty
on
ornament
.
Neither
was
his
prudence
narrower
than
his
virtue
,
nor
his
virtue
streighter
than
his
fortune
.
His
main
service
was
his
inspection
into
the
Intrigues
and
Reserves
of
the
Parliamentiers
at
Vxbridge
,
and
his
cajoling
of
the
Independants
and
Scots
at
London
,
where
the
issue
of
his
Observations
was
;
That
the
King
should
as
far
as
his
conscience
could
allow
,
comply
with
the
unreasoble
desires
of
an
illimited
ambition
,
to
make
it
sensible
of
the
evils
that
would
flow
from
its
own
Counsels
:
being
confident
,
as
events
have
assured
us
,
that
the
people
would
see
the
inconvenience
of
their
own
wishes
;
and
that
they
would
return
that
power
which
they
sought
for
,
but
could
not
manage
,
to
its
proper
place
,
before
it
became
their-ruine
:
—
for
unbounded
Liberty
overthroweth
its
self
.
But
alas
!
it
was
too
late
to
grant
them
any
thing
,
who
by
having
so
much
,
were
onely
encouraged
more
eagerly
to
desire
what
they
knew
the
King
in
honour
could
not
give
:
—
For
when
a
Prince
is
once
rendred
odious
or
contemptible
,
his
Indulgences
do
him
no
lesse
hurt
than
injuries
.
As
his
services
were
great
,
so
were
his
Recreations
useful

;
Hunting
,
that
manly
Exercise
being
both
his
pleasure
&
his
accomplishment
:
his
accomplishment
,
I
say
,
since
it
is
in
the
list
of
Machiavel's
rules
to
his
Prince
,
as
not
onely
the
wholsomest
and
cheapest
diversion
,
both
in
relation
to
himself
,
and
his
People
,
but
the
best
Tutor
to
Horse-manship
,
Stratagems
,
and
Situations
,
by
which
he
may
afterwards
place
an
Army
;

Philip
Sidney's
apprehension
was

who
used
to
say
;

Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Lord
Chief-Justice
Banks
.
SIr
John
Banks
his
Parents
perceiving
him
judicious
and
industrious
,
bestowed
good
breeding
on
him
in
Grayes-Inne
,
in
hope
he
should
attain
to
preferment
;
wherein
they
were
not
deceived
.
For
after
he
was
called
to
the
Bar
for
some
years
,
he
solicited
Suits
for
others
,
thereby
attaining
great
practical
experience
.
He
afterwards
might
laugh
at
them
,
who
then
did
smile
at
him
,
leaving
many
behind
him
in
Learning
,
whom
he
found
before
him
in
time
,
until
at
last
he
was
Knighted
by
King
Charles
,
made
first
his
Attorney
,
then
Chief-Justice
of
the
Common-Pleas
,
dying
in
the
middest
and
heat
of
our
Civil
Dissentions
.
He
ordered
by
his
Will
,
that
his
Body
should
be
buried
under
some
plain
Monument
at
the
discretion
of
his
Executors
;
and
after
an
Epitaph
mentioning
the
severall
Places
he
had
held
,
this
Motto
to
be
added
;
Non
nobis
Domine
,
non
nobis
,
sed
Nomini
tuo
da
Gloriam
.
By
his
said
Will
he
gave
to
the
value
of
thirty
pound
per
ann
.
with
other
Emoluments
,
to
be
bestowed
in
pious
Uses
,
and
chiefly
to
set
up
a
Manufacture
of
course
Cottons
in
the
Town
of
Keswick
.
He
was
one
whom
the
Collar
of
S
S.
S.
worn
by
Judges
and
other
Magistrates
became
very
well
,
if
it
had
its
name
from
Sanctus
,
Simon
,
Simplicius
;
no
man
being
more
seriously
pious
,
none
more
singly
honest
.

When
Sir
Henry
Savile
came

Sir
Edward
Cook

Abbot's

and
told
him
he
had
a
Case
to
propose
to
him
:
Sir
Edward
answered
;
If
it
be
a
Case
in
Common-Law
,
I
am
unworthy
to
be
a
Judge
,
if
I
cannot
presently
satisfie
you
:
but
if
it
be
a
point
of
Statute-Law
,
I
am
unworthy
to
be
a
Judge
,
if
I
should
undertake
to
satisfie
you
without
consulting
my
Books
.

Sir
John
Bankes
,
though
ready
without
his
Books
on
the
Bench
,
—
yet
always
resolved
Cases
out
of
them
in
his
Chamber
;
answerable
to
his
saying
to
Dr.
Sibs
,
A
good
textuary
is
a
good
Lawyer
,
as
well
as
a
good
Divine
.
His
invention
was
prompt
and
ready
;
his
apprehension
sure
and
solid
;
his
memory
capacious
and
retentive
;
his
knowledge
in
the
Law
,
and
the
inward
reasons
of
it
,
profound
;
his
experience
in
affairs
of
State
universal
,
and
well
laid
:
patient
he
was
in
hearing
;
sparing
,
but
pertinent
in
speaking
:
very
glad
always
to
have
things
represented
truly
and
clearly
;
and
when
it
was
otherwise
,
able
to
discern
through
all
pretences
the
real
merit
of
a
Cause
.
He
was
a
man
of
singular
modesty
,
of
the
ancient
freedome
,
plain-heartednesse
,
and
integrity
of
minde
:
Very
grave
and
severe
in
his
deportment
,
yet
very
affable
,
in
such
sort
,
that
,
as
Tacitus
saith
of
Agrippa
;
Illi
quod
est
rarissimum
nec
facilitas
authoritatem
,
nec
severitas
amorem
diminu●●
:
And
in
a
word
,
so
even
and
circumspect
he
was
in
the
several
turnings
and
occasions
of
his
life
,
that
though
he
went
himself
,
and
brought
over
as
many
as
he
had
any
interest
in
,
to
the
King
,
I
finde
him
under
no
extraordinary
displeasure
from
the
Rebels
;
and
I
observe
but
one
unhappinesse
in
his
whole
life
,
and
that
is
,
that
all
men
speak
well
of
him
.

,
equally
fit
for
businesse
of
courage
and
resolution
,
and
for

of

.
—
I
think
it
was
this
Gentleman
,
who
foreseeing
a
Contest
likely
to
ensue
between
the
English
and
the
Spanish
Embassadors
,
to
the
first
whereof
he
belonged
,
went
to
Rome
privately
and
fetched
a
Certificate
out
of
the
book
of
Ceremonies
(
which
according
to
the
Canon
giveth
the
rule
in
such
cases
)
shewing
that
the
King
of
England
was
to
precede
him
of
Castile
;
a
good
argument
,
because
ad
homines
,
wise
men
having
always
thought
fit
to
urge
not
what
is
most
rational
in
its
self
,
but
what
(
all
circumstances
considered
)
is
most
conrincing
.
Sir
Thomas
Edmonds

5.
The
Letter
of
King
Lucius
.
And
6.
The
Ordinal
of
the
Consecration
at
the
Nags-head
.
—
Neither
did
he
perplex
them
with
these
Quaeries
,
more
than
he
angered
the
Faction
with
his
Principles

Tertio
Car.

1.
That
the
King
was
to
be
trusted

2.
That
the
Revenue
was

3.
That
the
Protestant

4.
That
Jealousies

removed

things
past
were

he
cast
about
what
he
might
do
to
gratifie
K.
James
and
the
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
most
;
and
finding
them
much
pleased
with
acts
of
Charity

Piety
,
he
repaired
the
Entry
,
Front
,
and
Porches
of
St.
Paul's
Cathedral
to
all
the
upper
Church
,
Quire
and
Chancel
,
and
enriched
them
with
Marble
structures
and
figures
of
the
Apostles
,
with
carvings
and
guildings
far
exceeding
their
former
beauty
,
which
cost
above
two
thousand
pounds

the

of
a
good
man
,
said
K.
James
,
who
made
him
one
of
the
great
Farmers
of
the
Customes
:
in
gratitude
whereof
,
Sir
Paul
besides
his
former
expences
,
took
upon
him
to
new
build
the
South
Isle
,
which
cost
him
above
17000

A
Projector
(
such
necessary
Evils
then
countenanced
)
and
he
a
Clergy-man
too
,
informed
K.
James
how
he
might
speedily
advance
his
Revenue
by
bringing
in
Spiritual
preferments
(
now
forsooth
under-rated
in
the
Kings
books
)
to
a
full
value
,
to
the
great
encrease
of
first-Fruits
and
Tenths
:
the
King
demands
the
Lord
Treasurer
Cranfield's
judgement
thereof
:
he
said
;
Sir
,
You
are
esteemed
a
great
lover
of
Learning
;
you
know
Clergy-mens
Education
is
chargeable
,
their
prefermeut
slow
,
and
small
:
Let
it
not
be
said
you
gain
by
grinding
them
other
ways
lesse
obnoxious
to
just
censure
will
be
found
out
to
furnish
your
occasions
.
The
King
commended
the
Treasurer
(
as
doing
it
onely
for
tryal
)
adding
moreover
,
I
should
have
accounted
thee
a
very
Knave
,
if
encouraging
me
herein
.
—
But
he
sends
for
Sir
Paul
Pindar
,
and
tells
him
,
he
must
either
raise
the
Customes
,
or
take
this
course
;
who
answereth
him
nobly
:
That
he
would
lay
thirty
thousand
pounds
at
his
feet
the
morrow
,
rather
than
he
should
be
put
upon
such
poor
projects
,
as
unsuitable
to
his
honour
,
as
to
his
inclination
.
Go
thy

)

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Henry
Vane
Senior
.
THree
things
Henry
the
fourth
of
France
said
would
puzzle
any
man
.
1.
Whether
Qu:
Elizabeth
was
a
Maid
?
2.
Whether
the
Prince
of
Orange
was
valiant
?
3.
What
Religion
he
himself
was
of
?
To
which
I
may
add
a
fourth
,
viz.
what
Sir
Henry
Vane
was
?
whom
I
know
not
what
to
call
,
but
what
Mr.
Baxter
calleth
his
son
,
a
bider
:
the
Fathers
life
being
as
mystical
as
the
Sons
faith
,
men
as
little
understanding
the
actions
of
the
one
,
as
they
did
the
writings
of
the
other
:
But
the
two
powers
that
govern
the
world
,
the
best
,
and
the
worst
,
are
both
invisible
.
All
Northern
men
are
reserved
to
others
,
but
this
was
too
slie
for
his
own
Country-men
;
neither
Sir
John
Savile
that
brought
him
to
Court
,
nor
Sir
Thomas
Wentworth
that
advanced
him
there
,
understanding
either
his
temper
,
or
his
design
.
—
He
betrayed
any
Council
he
was
present
at
,
and
marred
all
the
Actions
he
was
employed
in
.
As
1.
When
he
was
sent
to
relate
the
Emperor's
overture
to
the
Queen
of
Bobemia
,
of
thirty
thousand
pounds
per
ann
.
and
a
Marriage
between
her
eldest
Son
and
his
Daughter
,
he
did
it
with
those
ackward
circumstances
,
that
transported
the
good
Lady
,
to
such
unseasonable
expressions
,
as
at
that
time
blasted
her
cause
and
expectations
.
And
thence
it
's
thought
he
brought
Sir
Robert
Dudley's
Rhapsody
of
Projects
to
disparage
the
King's
government
,
under
pretence
of
supplying
his
necessities
:
[
it
was
the
way
of
the
late
Underminers
,
to
relieve
their
Masters
present
need
upon
future
inconveniences
;
hiding
themselves
under
Proposals
,
plausible
for
the
present
,
and
fatall
in
the
consequence
]
which
juggles
of
his
were
so
long
too
little
to
be
considered
,
that
at
last
they
were
too
great
to
be
remedied
.

He
is
said
to
have
shuffled
other
Conditions
into
the
Pacification
at
Yorke
,
where
he
was
a
Commissioner

were
avowed
by
the
Lords
Commissioners
,
much
insisted
on
by
the
Scots
,
and
burned
by
the
common
Hang-man
,
as
false
,
and
contrary
to
the
true
Articles

When

to

to
demand
12

requireth
without
abatement
twelve

it
's
judged
)
to
aske
so
much
,
as
might
enrage

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Richard
Hutton
.
SIr
Richard
Hutton
was
born
at
Perith
,
of
a
worshipful
Family
(
his
elder
brother
was
a
Knight
)
and
bred
in
Jesus-Colledge
in
Cambridge
.
He
intended
his
Studies
for
Divinity
,
till
disswaded
by
the
importunity
of
his
friends
(
amongst
whom
George
Earl
of
Cumberland
was
most
eminent
)
he
became
Barrister
of
Grayes-Inne
.
But
in
expression
of
his
former
Affection
to
Divinity
,
he
seldome
(
if
ever
)
took
fee
of
a
Clergy-man
.
Afterwards
being
Recorder
of
Yorke
,
he
was
Knighted
,
and
made
Judge
of
the
Common-Pleas
.
In
the
case
of
Ship-money
,
though
he
was
against
the
King
,
or
rather
for
the
[
](A48796-e120870-b)a
a
So
saith
the
Historian
:
but
I
think
as
much
against
them
as
against
the
K.
Not
onely
because
the
welfare
of
K.
&
people
are
inseparable
:
but
also
because
there
is
not
a
more
common
saying
among
the
people

than
defend
me
,
and

Commons
,
yet
his
Maiesty
manifested
not
the
least
distaste
,
continuing
to
call
him
the
honest
Judge
.
This
person
so
pious
to
God
,
and
charitable
to
the
Poor
,
was
dissolved
about
the
beginning
of
our
National
misery
.
Thus
God
,
before
he
ploweth
up
a
Land
with
the
furrows
of
a
Civil
War
,
first
cutteth
down
his
old
crop
,
and
gathereth
them
like
ripe
sheaves
into
his
Barn
.
He
died
at
Sergeant's
Inne
,
and
was
buried
at
his
earnest
desire
with
the
Common-Prayer
,
without
any
Funeral-Sermon
(
save
what
his
own
Vertues
preached
to
posterity
)
at
St.
Dunstan's
in
the
West
,
on
the
27
day
of
February
,
Anno
Dom.
1638.
Here
I
learn
how
circumspect
our
counsels
must
be
in
reference
to
things
and
persons
above
us
;
which
implying
an
over-poyzing
of
our
own
judgement
,
and
a
debating
of
others
,
in
all
cases
is
obnoxious
to
jealousie
,
but
in
these
to
danger
,
under
which
there
are
no
Qualifications
to
patience
and
moderation
,
The
vertues
of
this
happy
Judge
(
if
he
had
cast
obstinacy
over-board
,
and
let
his
wisdome
tack
about
in
things
capable
of
expedience
)
whereby
he
knew
well
both
how
to
allay
the
asperities
of
a
bad
fortune
,
and
check
the
excesses
of
a
good
one
,
packing
up
his
fears
and
hopes
in
so
narrow
a
compasse
,
as
made
the
last
lesse
tedious
,
and
the
first
more
portable
;
to
which
he
added
an
unaffected
plainnesse
,
the
argument
of
his
worth
and
weight
,
a
weaknesse
and
emptinesse
being
as
safely
as
usually
concluded
from
too
much
affectation
,
—
an
over-much
care
of
the
out
side
being
an
argument
of
remisnesse
in
what
is
within
,
it
remaining
(
saith
one
)
equally
rare
,
to
finde
a
starched
and
formal
man
wise
,
as
a
Woman
valiant
;
the
most
serious
Endeavours
of
both
being
to
take
onely
the
Eyes
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Marquess
of
Hertford
.
HE
was
none
of
those
Male-contents
who
make
the
sins
of
their
riper
years
make
good
the
follies
of
their
youth
,
and
maintain
oversights
with
Treasons
:
as
he
was
patient
under
his
Imprisonment
for
the
one
,
so
he
was
active
in
his
services
against
the
other
;
not
more
dutifully
submitting
to
the
severity
of
K.
James
for
his
Marriage
,
then
loyally
assisting
the
necessities
of
King
Charles
in
his
Wars
.
It
's
natural
to
return
an
Injury
,
it
's
heroical
to
overcome
it
;
and
be
above
it
,
when
we
are
below
our selves
.
It
is
true
,
he
was
drawn
in
to
subscribe
the
untoward
Proposals
at
Yorke
;
but
it
is
as
true
,
he
did
of
his
own
accord
declare
against
the
unnatural
War
in
London
,
where
the
King
advanced
him
to
the
tuition
of
the
Prince
,
and
he
went
himself
to
the
defence
of
the
King
:
at
what
time
such
his
popularity
,
that
he
raysed
an
Army
himself
such
his
humility
,
that
he
yielded
the
command
of
it
to
another
,
as
if
he
knew
nothing
but
others
merit
,
and
his
own
wants
;
being
one
of
those
choice
men
that
admire
every
thing
in
others
,
and
see
nothing
in
themselves
.
His
face
,
his
carriage
,
his
habit
savoured
of
Lowlinesse
without
affectation
,
and
yet
he
was
J.
H.
much
under
what
he
seemed
.
His
words
were
few
and
soft
,
never
either
peremptory
or
censorious
,
because
he
thought
both
each
man
more
wise
,
and
none
more
obnoxious
than
himself
;
being
yet
neither
ignorant
nor
carelesse
,
but
naturally
meek
,
lying
ever
close
within
himself
,
armed
with
those
two
Master-pieces
,
Resolution
and
Duty
,
wherewith
he
mated
the
blackest
Events
that
did
rather
exercise
than
dismay
that
spirit
that
was
above
them
,
and
that
minde
that
looked
beyond
them
:
He
was
the
easiest
enemy
,
and
the
truest
friend
;
whom
extremities
obliged
,
while
(
as
the
Reverend
Bishop
speaks
)
he
as
a
well-wrought
Vault
lay
at
home
the
stronger
,
by
how
much
the
more
weight
he
did
bear
.
He
offered
his
life
for
his
Prince's
service
in
the
Field
,
and
his
person
for
his
ransom
at
the
Court
;
and
when
many
wished
they
might
dye
for
that
excellent
King
,
he
,
the
Earls
of
Lindsey
and
Southampton
offered
,
That
since
his
Majesty
was
presumed
by
the
Law
to
do
no
harm
himself
,
and
since
he
did
all
by
them
his
Ministers
,
as
they
had
the
honour
to
act
under
,
they
might
have
the
happinesse
to
suffer
for
him
.

have
observed

I
suppose
,
that
the

modestly
aestimated

[

Norimbergh
in
Germany
,
and
Florence

,
would
not
of
old
admit
of
any
learned
men
into
their
Councel
;
because
great
learned
men
,
saith
the
Historian
of
those
places
,
are
perplexed
to
resolve
upon
Affairs
,
making
many
doubts
full
of
Respects
and
Imaginations
.
—
Semblably
this
Parliament
was
too
rich
and
curious
to
do
any
good
,
though
this
noble
personage
,
even
when
the
House-doors
were
shut
,
and
he
violently
detained
in
his
Chair
,
refused
to
countenance
their
proceedings
,
always
abhorring
Eliot's
doctrine
;
That
men
should
not
be
questioned
for
offences
in
Parliament
:
As
if
that
reverend
Assembly
were
called
for
no
other
end
,
than
that
turbulent
spirits
might
be
at
liberty
to
speak
Treason
once
every
three
years
.
When
he
was
questioned
for
his
opinion
about
Ship-money
,
his
judgement
was
;
That
if
the
whole
were
in
danger
,
the
whole
should
contribute
.
—
When
he
was
urged
to
read
the
Remonstrance
against
Sir
R.
W.
4
Car.
in
Parliament
,
his
opinion
was
;
That
at
any
rate
(
though
at
the
highest
that
can
be
)
Authority
must
be
vindicated
,
and
redeemed
from
contempt
,
since
the
Life
of
Government
is
reputation
.

And
this

they

themselves
to
a

Yet
so
well
acquainted

For

A

,

he
did

with

,

settle
the

Mr.

Vice-Admiral

he
was
to
be

of

Court
of

;
which
he
compassed
,
when
the
rest
mist
of
their
expectation
.
—
No
more
of
him
,
but
that
the
King
going
to
Scotland
,
he
refusing
a
Protestation
against
the
Scots
,
had
these
questions
proposed
to
him
:
-
1.
Whether
he
would
go
with
the
King
at
his
own
charge
.
-
2.
Whether
Rebellion
was
a
just
cause
of
War
.
-
3.
Whether
the
taking
of
Castles
,
Crowns
,
Magazines
,
&c.
was
not
Rebellion
.
To
the
first
he
answered
;
That
though
as
a
Pee●
and
Subject
,
he
could
not
be
forced
out
of
his
Countrey
but
upon
extraordinary
occasion
;
yet
out
of
affection
to
his
Majesty
,
he
would
attend
him
,
referring
the
matter
of
charge
to
himself
.
To
the
two
last
he
said
,
he
understood
not
the
Law
of
Scotland
,
but
that
those
proceedings
were
Treason
in
England
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Earl
of
Lindsey
.
HE
and
that
whole
Family
(
I
know
not
whether
more
pious
,
or
more
valiant
;
whether
more
renowned
abroad
,
as
Confessors
for
their
Religion
,
or
,
as
Champions
for
their
Country
)
have
been
in
this
last
Age
an
ornament
and
a
defence
to
this
Crown
,
equally
reverenced
by
the
Subjects
of
it
,
and
honoured
by
the
Soveraigns
.
This
Noble-man
and
the
Earl
of
Essex
did
as
Jugurtha
and
Manus
,
learn
in
one
School
what
they
practised
in
two
:
The
one
as
a
faithful
Subject
,
for
that
government
that
had
obliged
his
Family
;
the
other
as
a
discontented
Rebel
,
against
that
that
had
disobliged
his
:
Both
Commanders
for
the
Palatinate
against
the
Emperor
,
and
for
Rochel
against
the
French
.
When
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
returned
from
the
Isle
of
Rhee
,
his
Majestie
told
him
;
The
neglect
of
his
relief
must
lodge
on
his
Friend
and
Confident
,
Holland
.
—
To
which
he
acknowledged
;
That
indeed
he
had
very
affectionately
intrusted
him
in
ordinary
Affairs
,
but
never
in
such
an
esteem
,
as
to
second
him
in
Arms
,
that
place
being
more
proper
for
my
Lord
of
Lindsey
,
—
whose
judgement
of
that
Expedition
was
;
That
it
was
friendship
in
earnest
,
and
War
in
jest
.
He
it
was
that
pursued
twelve
French
Vessels
in
his
own
single
one
to
their
Haven
,
heated
at
once
with
anger
and
shame
.
He
it
was
,
who
when
all
men
were
amazed
at
the
Duke's
fall
was
assigned
his
successor
.
Certainly
,
saith
one
them
present
,
He
was
a
person
of
no
likely
presence
,
but
of
considerable
experience
,
by
his
former
Expeditions
;
and
one
that
to
the
last
of
his
life
made
good
his
Faith
with
Gallantry
and
Courage
,
notwithstanding
his
ill
successe
(
the
times
fate
rather
than
his
fault
)

In
scouring
the

Sea

Where
what
is

his
followers
,
was
true
of
this
noble
Earl
and
his
Country-men
,
the
Loyal
Gentry
of

that
they
covered

JUdge
Richardson

born
at

in

his
Father
being
Minister
thereof
;
and
he
a
friend
to
Ministers

a

He
was
bred
in
the
study
of

became
the
King's
Sergeant
therein
.
Afterwards
,
on

1626.
he
was
sworn
Chief-Justice
of
the
Common-Pleas
,
that
Place
having
been
void
ten
months
before
;
wherein
he
was
humorsome
,

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Tho.
Coventry
.
A
Competent
Estate
he
had
for
his
education
,
and
excellent
Abilities
for
advancement
:
his
fortune
was
not
wanting
to
his
parts
,
nor
his
parts
to
his
fortune
;
the
one
being
as
ready
to
support
,
as
the
other
was
to
raise
him
His
staid
soul
was
well
prepared
for
general
learning
in
the
Schools
and
University
,
for
his
particular
learning
at
the
Innes
of
Court
:
his
skill
in
the
study
of
Law
called
him
no
sooner
to
the
Bar
,
than
his
prudence
to
Court
:
Take
we
his
character
from
his
Honour
.
Why
was
he
created
Lord
Coventry
of
Alisbury
,
and
Keeper
of
the
great
Seal
?
Why
,
saith
the
Patent
,
for
his
eminent
fidelity
;
for
his
〈◊〉
worthy
service
;
for
his
exact
circumspection
;
for
his
deep
prudence
;
for
his
constant
resolution
;
for
his
skill
and
dexterity
;
for
his
integrity
and
industry
for
his
immoveablenesse
and
fidelity
:
No
man
mor●
apprehensive
of
the
interest
of
England
,
none
more
faithful
to
it
:
His
kindness
to
the
Church
and
Clergy
argued
his
piety
;
his
safe
Counsels
to
his
Majesty
argued
his
moderation
:
his
dignity
rather
enjoyed
him
,
than
he
it
:
A
man
he
was
that
filled
u●
his
great
capacities
,
having
digested
a
body
〈◊〉
the
most
honest
Law
,
and
a
scheme
of
the
most
innocent
policy
that
ever
fillled
the
head
of
an
abl●
States-man
,
or
the
heart
of
an
upright
Judge
.
Wha●
belonged
to
him
,
he
knew
;
and
what
he
knew
,
h●
practised
.
He
was
as
constant
to
his
rule
,
as
he
knew
his
rule
was
to
him
:
Reserved
he
was
,
as
the
King's
Councellor
,
honest
as
his
conscience
.

eminent
in
his
way
,
and
all
advanced
.
Each
Action
of
his
,
though
never
so
little
,
yet
great
as
himself
,
so
gravely
did
he
manage
it
,
so
solemnly
did
he
perform
it
:
His
orders
were

reversed
,
because
mostly
including
the
consent
of
Parties
.
—
Few
Attorney-Generals
came
off
with
lesse
censure
,
and
few
Lord
Keepers
with
lesse
guilt
;
his
Predecessors
miscarriages
being
foils
to
set
off
his
exactnesse
.
—
Eminent
as
in

other
Ca
〈…〉
s
,
so
particularly
in
that
of
Pryn
,
Bastwicke
,
and
Burton
;
against
whom
,
when
after
six
weeks
time
given
them
to
put
in
an
effectual
Answer
,
they
urged
,
that
their
Adversaries
the
Bishops
should
not
be
their
Judges
:
He
replyed
smartly
;
That
by
that
Plea
had
they
Libelled
all
the
Magistrates
in
the
Land
;
none
should
passe
Censure
upon
them
,
because
all
were
made
parties
.
He
had
fifteen
years
enjoyed
his
Place
;
not
more
proper
to
say
,
that
Dignity
had
enjoyed
him
so
long
,
this
latter
age
affording
not
one
every
way
of
more
apt
Qualifications
for
the
place
.
His
front
and
presence
bespake
a
venerable
regard
,
not
interiour
to
any
of
his
Antecessors
.
His
train
and
suit
of
Followers
was
disposed
agreeable
,
to
shun
both
Envy
and
Contempt
:
Vain
and
ambitious
he
was
●ot
;
his
port
was
state
,
though
others
ostentation
.
Of
what
concerned
his
place
,
he
knew
enough
,
and
which
is
the
main
,
acted
conformable
to
his
knowledge
;
For
in
the
Administration
of
Justice
,
he
was
so
erect
,
so
incorrupt
,
as
captious
malice
stands
mute
in
the
blemish
of
his
Fame
.
A
miracle
the
greater
,
when
we
consider
he
was
also
a
Privy-Councellor
:
A
trust
,
wherein
he
served
his
Master
the
King
most
faithfully
;
and
the
more
faithfully
,
because
of
all
those
Councels
which
did
disserve
his
Majesty
,
he
was
an
earnest
disswader
,
and
did
much
disaffect
those
sticklers
who
laboured
to
make
the
Prerogative
rather
tall
than
great
;
〈◊〉
knowing
that
such
men
loved
the
King
better
the
Charles
Stuart
.
So
that
although
he
was
a
Courtier
,
and
had
had
for
his
Master
a
Passion
most
in
tense
,
yet
had
he
always
a
passion
reserved
for
the
publick
welfare
;
an
argument
of
a
free
,
noble
,
and
right-principled
minde
:
For
what
both
Court
and
Country
have
always
held
as
inconsistent
,
is
〈◊〉
truth
erroneous
:
And
no
man
can
be
truly
loyal
who
is
not
also
a
good
Patriot
;
nor
any
a
good
Patriot
,
which
is
not
truly
loyal
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Earl
of
Strafford
.
SIr
Thomas
Wentworth
Earl
of
Strafford
owned
his
birth
to
the
best-govern'd
City
London
;
his
breeding
to
the
best-modelled
School
,
York
,
and
a
most
exact
Colledge
,
St.
John
in
Cambridge
;
his
accomplishments
to
the
best
Tutors
,
Travail
and
Experience
;
and
his
prudence
to
the
best
School
,
a
Parliament
,
whither
he
cam
in
the
most
active
and
knowing
times
,
with
〈◊〉
strong
brain
,
and
a
large
heart
:
his
activity
wa●
eminent
in
his
Country
,
and
his
interest
strong
in
Parliament
,
where
he
observed
much
,
and
pertinently
;
spake
little
,
but
home
:
contrived
effectually
,
but
closely
;
carried
his
Defigns
successfully
,
but
reservedly
:
He
apprehended
the
publick
temper
as
clearly
,
and
managed
it
to
his
purposes
as
orderly
as
any
man
:
He
spoke
least
,
but
last
of
all
,
with
the
advantage
of
a
clear
view
of
others
reasons
,
and
the
addition
of
his
own
:
He
and
his
leading
Confidents
moulded
that
in
a
private
Conference
,
which
was
to
be
managed
in
a
publick
Assembly
:
He
made
himself
so
considerable
a
Patriot
,
that
he
was
bought
over
to
be
a
Courtier
:
So
great
his
Abilities
,
that
he
awed
a
Monarchy
when
dis-obliged
and
supported
it
when
engaged
,
the
balance
turning
thither
where
this
Lord
stood
.
—
The
North
was
reduced
by
his
prudence
,
and
Ireland
by
his
interest
:

did
more

years
,
than
was
done
in

States-man
:
he
understood
their
methods
,
kenned
their
wiles
,
observed
their
designs
,
looked
into
their
combinations
,
comprehended
their
interest
:
And
as
King
Charles
understood
best
of
any
Monarch
under
heaven
what
he
could
do
in
point
of
Conscience
,
so
his
Strafford
apprehended
best
of
any
Counsellor
under
the
Sun
what
he
could
do
in
point
of
power
:
He
and
my
Lord
of
Canterbury
having
the
most
particular
account
of
the
state
of
Great-Britain
and
Ireland
of
any
persons
living
.
Nature
is
often
hidden
,
sometimes
overcome
,
seldome
extinguished
;
yet
Doctrine
and
Discourse
had
much
allayed
the
severity
of
this
Earl's
nature
,
and
Custome
more
:
None
more
austere
to
see
to
;
none
more
obliging
to
speak
with
:
He
observed
pauses
in
his
discourse
to
attend
the
motion
,
and
draw
out
the
humour
of
other
men
;
at
once
commanding
his
own
thoughts
,
and
watching
others
:
His
passion
was
rather
the
vigour
,
than
the
disorder
of
his
well-weighed
soul
;
which
could
dispense
its
anger
with
as
much
prudence
,
as
it
managed
any
act
of
State
.
He
gave
his
Majesty
safe
counsel
in
the
prosperity
of
his
Affairs
,
and
resolute
advice
in
Extreamity
,
as
a
true
servant
of
his
interest
rather
than
of
his
power
.
So
eminent
was
he
and
my
Lord
of
Canterbury
,
that
Rebellion
despaired
of
successe
as
long
as
the
first
lived
,
and
Schisme
of
licentiousnesse
as
long
as
the
second
stood
.
Take
my
Lord
of
Strafford
as
accused
,
and
you
will
finde
his
Integrity
and
Ability
,
that
he
managed
his
whole
Government
either
by
the
Law
,
or
the
Interest
of
his
Countrey
.
Take
him
as
dying
,
and
you
will
see
his
parts
and
piety
;
his
resolution
for
himself
,
his
self-resignation
for
the
Kingdoms
good
;
his
devotion
for
the
Church
,
whose
patrimony
he
forbade
his
son
upon
his
blessing
—
Take
him
as
dead
,
you
will
finde
him
glorious
and
renowned
in
these
three
characters
.
The
first
of
the
best
King
.
I
looked
upon
my
Lord
of
Strafford
,
as
a
Gentleman
whose
great
Abilities
might
make
a
Prince
rather
afraid

than
ashamed
to
employ
him
in
the
greatest
Affairs
of
State
:
for
those
were
prone
to
create
in
him
great
confidence
of
undertakings
,
and
this
was
like
enough
to
hetray
him
to
great
Errors
,
and
many
Enemies
;
whereof
he
could
not
but
contract
great
store
,
while
moving
in
so
high
a
sphere
,
and
with
so
vigorous
a
lustre
,
he
must
needs
(
as
the
Sun
)
raise
many
envious
exbalations
;
which
condensed
by
a
popular
Odium
,
were
capable
to
cast
a
cloud
upon
the
brightest
merit
and
integrity
:
though
I
cannot
in
my
judgement
approve
all
he
did
,
driven
(
it
may
be
)
by
the
necessities
of
Times
,
and
the
temper
of
that
People
,
more
than
led
by
his
own
disposition
to
any
beighth
and
rigor
of
Action
,
&c.
The
second
,
of
the
best
Historian
.
He
was
a
person
of
a
generous
spirit
,
fitted
for
the
noblest
Exercises
,
and
the
most
difficult
parts
of
Empire
:
His
Counsels
were
bold
,
yet
just
;
and
he
had
a
vigour
proper
for
the
execution
of
them
:
Of
an
eloquence
next
that
of
his
Masters
,
masculine
and
excellent
.
He
was
no
lesse
affectionate
to
the
Church
,
than
to
the
State
;
and
not
contented
while
living
,
to
defend
the
government
and
patrimony
of
it
,
he
commended
it
also
to
his
Son
when
he
was
about
to
dye
,
and
charged
his
abhorrency
of
sacriledge
:
His
enemies
called
the
majestie
of
his
miene
in
his
Lieutenancy
,
pride
;
and
the
undaunted
execution
of
his
Office
on
the
Contumacious
,
the
insolency
of
his
fortune
.
He
was
censured
for
that
fatall
errour
of
following
the
King
to
London
,
and
to
the
Parliament
,
after
the
Pacification
at
York
:
And
it
was
thought
,
that
if
he
bad
gone
ever
to
his
Charge
in
Ireland
,
he
might
have
secured
both
himself
and
that
Kingdome
for
his
Majesties
service
:
But
some
attribute
this
Counsel
to
a
necessity
of
fate
,
whose
first
stroke
is
at
the
Drain
of
those
whom
it
designs
to
ruine
,
and
brought
him
to
feel
the
effects
of
popular
rage
,
which
himself
in
former
Parliaments
bad
used
against
Government
,
and
to
finde
the
experience
of
his
own
devices
upon
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
.
Providence
teacheth
us
to
abhor
over-fine
Councels
,
by
the
mischiefs
they
often
bring
upon
their
Authors
.
The
third
,
of
common
fame
.
A
Gentleman
he
was
of
rare
,
choice
,
and
singular
Endowments
,
I
mean
,
of
such
as
modelled
,
fashioned
,
and
accomplished
him
for
State-concernments
;
of
a
searching
and
penetrating
judgement
,
nimble
apprehension
,
ready
and
fluence
in
all
results
of
Councel
.
Most
happy
in
the
veins
of
speech
,
which
was
always
round
,
perspicuous
,
and
expresse
,
much
to
the
advantage
of
his
fense
and
so
full
stocked
with
reason
,
that
he
might
be
rather
said
to
demonstrate
,
than
to
argue
.
As
these
abilities
raised
him
to
State-administration
,
so
his
Addressing
,
his
applying
chose
abilities
so
faithfully
in
promotion
of
the
Royal
Interest
,
soon
rendered
him
a
Favourite
of
the
first
admission
:
So
that
never
King
had
a
more
intelligent
,
and
withal
a
firmer
servant
than
he
was
to
his
Master
.
But
these
qualities
which
rendred
him
so
amiable
to
his
Majesty
,
represented
him
formidable
to
the
Scots
,
so
that
some
who
were
not
well
perswaded
of
the
justnesse
of
his
sentence
,
thought
he
suffered
not
so
much
for
what
he
had
done
already
,
as
for
what
he
was
like
to
have
done
,
had
he
lived
,
to
the
disservice
of
that
Nation
:
And
that
he
was
not
sacrificed
so
much
to
the
Scots
revenge
,
as
to
their
fear
.
And
certainly
his
fall
was
as
the
first
,
so
the
most
fatal
wound
the
King's
Interest
ever
received
:
His
three
Kingdomes
hardly
affording
another
Strafford
,
that
is
,
one
man
his
peer
in
parts
and
fidelity
to
his
Majesty
.
He
had
a
singular
passion
for
the
Government
and
Patrimony
of
the
Church
,
both
which
he
was
studious
to
preserve
safe
and
sound
;
either
opining
them
to
be
of
sacred
extraction
,
or
at
least
prudent
constitution
,
relating
to
holy
performances
.
And
had
he
wanted
these
positive
graces
,
yet
in
so
great
a
Person
it
may
be
commendable
,
that
he
was
emiment
for
privative
and
negative
Excellencies
,
being
not
taxable
with
any
Vice
;
those
petty
pleasures
being
beneath
the
satisfaction
of
a
soul
so
large
as
his
.
In
short
,
saith
the
ingenious
Gentleman
,
he
was
a
man
who
might
have
passed
under
a
better
notion
,
had
he
lived
in
better
times
.
This
last
period
is
a
question
,
since
this
great
States-man
,
and
his
good
Master's
goodnesse
was
so
over-shadowed
with
their
greatnesse
,
and
their
vertues
so
lost
in
their
power
,
as
the
Sun
(
the
aptest
parallel
of
their
lustre
and
beneficence
)
is
hid
in
his
own
light
,
that
they
owe
their
great
,
but
glorious
same
to
their
misfortunes
,
and
their
renown
to
their
ruine
,
that
levelled
their
worth
,
otherwise
as
much
out
of
their
reach
as
their
place
,
to
vulgar
apprehensions
.
Eclipsed
lustre
,
like
a
veiled
beauty
,
as
most
looked
on
,
when
most
covered
.
—
The
setting
Sun
is
more
glorious
than
its
self
in
its
Meridian
,
because
more
low
:
and
the
lowest
Planet
seems
biggest
to
a
common
eye
.
So
faithful
he
was
,
and
the
Arch-Bishop
,
that
in
the
Juncto
consisting
of
them
two
and
Duke
Hamilton
,
they
voted
a
Parliament
,
though
they
knew
themselves
the
first
sufferers
by
it
:
and
so
confident
of
his
integrity
,
that
when
he
had
treason
enough
discovered
at
the
late
transactions
in
Yorke
(
touching
the
Scots
conspiracy
)
to
charge
his
enemies
with
,
he
waved
the
advantage
;
and
secure
in
his
own
innocence
,
fell
an
instance
of
that
Maxime
;
That
there
is
no
danger
small
,
but
what
is
thought
so
.
This
was
his
great
principle
;
Vsurped
Royalty
was
never
layd
down
by
perswasion
from
Royal
clemency
;
for
in
armis
jus
omne
regni

Observations
on
the
Lives
of
Hen-Earl
of
Holland
,
&
Robert
Earl
of
Warwick
.
HEnry
Earl
of
Holland
,
and
Robert
Earl
of
Warwick
,
both
a
brothers
,
had
the
same
Education
at
home
,
and
the
same
admittance
to
Court
—
onely
the
elder
having
an
Estate
,
brought
not
thither
that
compliance
and
observance
that
the
younger
did
that
wanted
it
.
—
The
one
therefore
is
serious
in
his
carriage
,
harsh
and
rough
in
his
spirit
,
stubborn
in
his
constitution
,
steady
in
his
course
,
stern
in
his
comportments
,
sly
and
close
in
his
conduct
;
choosing
rather
to
improve
himself
in
America
by
Trade
,
than
in
England
by
Courtship
;
something
inclined
to
the
faction
by
the
principles
of
his
Education
,
more
by
those
of
his
Interest
.
The
other
owned
not
a
greater
smoothnesse
in
his
face
,
than
in
his
soul
;
being
very
taking
in
his
countenance
,
more
in
his
Converse
.
The
first
being
not
more
lovely
,
than
the
last
was
obliging
.
—
While
a
Courtier
,
so
much
was
he
in
favour
with
King
James
,
that
one
morning
as
he
and
Mr.
Ramsey
waited
on
his
Majesty
,
and
two
Porters
came
by
with
some
money
,
he
did
but
smile
on
Ramsey
,
and
tell
his
Majesty
,
who
asked
why
he
smiled
,
that
it
was
to
think
what
good
that
money
would
do
him
:
and
he
had
it
;
his
Royal
Mr.
whose
heart
was
as
large
as
his
Kingdome
,
adding
,
I
'll
warrant
you
,
you
are
glad
of
this
;
Let
me
tell
you
,
I
have
more
pleasure
in
bestowing
this
money
,
than
you
in
possessing
it
:
so
much
a
more
blessed
thing
it
is
to
give
,
than
to
receive
.
While
Embassador
in
France
(
where
he
represented
a
King
in
his
State
and
port
,
as
well
as
in
his
place
)
so
great
was
he
with
the
Queen-Mother
,
that
he
was
admitted
to
all
treatments
;
that
he
had
the
honour
of
all
Entertainments
;
that
he
commanded
the
Kings
ears
,
understood
the
Spanish
policies
,
dived
into
the
French
humour
and
inclination
.
All
the
while
he
was
in
Paris
,
his
observations
were
minute
and
particular
,
his
Addresses
wary
and
reserved
(
never
opening
the
Marriage-treaty
until
he
was
sure
of
a
good
reception
)
his
working
upon
Madames
affection
close
&
artificial
;
his
counter-plots
to
the
Spanish
insinuations
nimble
and
effectual
;
his
correspondence
with
the
Duke
of
Bucks
,
weekly
&
constant
;
his
contrasts
with
Count
Soisons
,
and
Madam
Blanvile
,
in
behalf
of
her
Husband
here
in
England
,
resolute
and
honourable
(
urging
very
nobly
and
successfully
,
that
the
clamours
of
a
turbulent
Agent
was
not
to
out-weigh
the
favour
of
a
mighty
Monarch
.
)
The
discovery
he
made
of
the
Duke
of
Buckingham's
enemies
,
their
Cabals
and
Oaths
from
the
said
Blanviles
Letters
,
was
seasonable
and
compleat
;
but
his
Master-piece
was
his
command
over
all
affections
and
tempers
,
—
but
his
own
so
soft
and
smooth
,
that
it
endured
not
the
roughnesse
of
the
following
times
,
wherein
he
was
very
unsetled
when
Commissioner
in
Scotland
,
while
he
lived
,
and
very
fearful
when
he
died
:
The
fate
of
all
delicate
and
too
fine
Constitutions
.
It
hath
been
the
method
of
Grandees
to
endear
themselves
to
power
for
a
present
interest
,
and
to
learning
for
their
future
fame
;
to
add
the
renown
of
the
one
,
to
the
greatnesse
of
the
other
.
Neither
was
this
Lord
more
careful
to
succeed
his
great
friend
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
in
his
favour
at
Court
,
as
Captain
of
the
Guard
,
and
Groom
of
the
Stool
,
than
in
his
Place
at
the
Vniversity
as
Chancellor
,
of
which
he
expresseth
himself
thus
●o
his
Cambridge
,
That
his
Master
had
raised
his
fortune
beyond
wishing
in
this
world
,
that
he
could
desire
no
more
than
a
fair
name
when
he
was
gone
out
of
it
;
which
the
University
contributed
,
to
whom
he
devoted
his
Iuterest
.
Though
they
answered
not
his
expectation
in
their
Contributions
for
St.
Pauls
,
and
other
particulars
,
wherein
he
was
defeated
and
over-born
by
the
busie
faction
,
who
thought
it
a
vain
thing
●o
repair
any
Church
,
when
they
intended
to
pull
down
all
.
After
all
,
this
great
man
is
a
great
instance
of
●hat
observation
,
viz.
That
when
able
and
prudent
men
are
brought
on
the
Stage
to
manage
their
●wn
parts
,
they
are
then
(
mostly
)
not
of
the
clear●st
sight
,
and
commonly
commit
such
errours
as
●re
both
discernable
and
avoidable
,
even
by
men
of
●ean
abilities
.
—
Although
I
finde
him
subject
●o
no
great
errour
before
the
War
,
save
that
when
Dr.
Preston
was
by
his
party
judged
of
so
great
parts
〈◊〉
to
make
a
fit
Patron
for
them
,
and
thereupon
●irected
to
appear
aloof
[
the
way
of
Court-ob●ervers
]
in
his
Addresses
to
the
Duke
of
Bucking●m
by
his
Confident
the
Earl
of
Holland
,
whose
●amily
favoured
that
side
,
though
the
Duke
said
he
●new
him
,
and
so
would
use
him
accordingly
:
●et
this
Earl
was
so
far
over-reach'd
by
him
,
that
in
the
Apology
the
Doctor
writ
under-hand
to
〈◊〉
Partizans
touching
his
Court-compliance
,
he
she●eth
he
over-reached
the
Court-wits
;
as
inde●
he
was
a
great
Politician
,
and
used
(
Lap-wi●●
like
)
to
flutter
most
on
that
place
which
was
fa
〈…〉
thest
from
his
Egges
:
)
a
copy
of
which
Lette●
with
some
satyrical
stanzaes
was
found
unsealed
〈◊〉
the
streets
,
and
carried
to
the
Duke
;
a
noble
frien●
discovering
to
the
Doctor
,
how
witty
he
was
〈◊〉
Rhime
,
to
the
breaking
of
his
heart
,
he
confess●●●
then
he
was
undone
,
especially
when
the
Duke
Barber
could
finger
the
Letter
out
of
his
Lord
pocket
,
as
he
was
directed
.
—
And
now
I
canno●
but
remember
how
this
Earl
at
his
death
said
,
〈◊〉
had
been
a
friend
to
godly
Ministers
,
as
had
〈◊〉
friends
before
him
,
by
whom
he
bad
been
instruct●●
when
young
.
Whence
I
collect
,
that
the
membe●
of
those
great
Families
,
into
which
the
godly
Ministers
,
i.
e.
peevish
,
factious
and
discontented
perso●
which
usurp
that
precious
name
,
insinuate
the●
selves
,
and
their
principles
,
seldome
come
to
the●●
Grave
in
peace
;
they
usually
instilling
into

such
imaginations
as
make
their

the

would
say
;

To

it
is

as

that

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Arch-Bishop
LAUD
.
THe
pregnancy
of
his
childhood
promised
the
wisdome
of
his
riper
years
,
and
obliged
his
friends
beyond
their
abilities
to
his
support
,
and
strangers
beyond
expectation
to
his
encouragement
:
Some
persons
offering
him
great
sums
of
money
for
his
maintenance
in
his
younger
years
,
upon
the
bare
security
of
his
parts
,
which
payd
them
well
in
his
more
reduced
age
.
None
more
observant
of
favour
,
none
more
mindful
of
kindnesses
,
and
none
more
grateful
for
civilities
:
He
was
so
wise
as
seldome
to
forget
an
injury
in
the
consequence
of
it
,
and
so
noble
as
ever
to
remember
love
in
the
return
of
it
.
His
honest
Parents
conveyed
him
an
excellent
temper
and
that
temper
a
brave
spirit
;
which
had
the
advantage
of
his
birth
,
some
say
at
Reading
,
some
at
Henley
,
at
an
equal
distance
from
the
University
,
where
he
was
to
be
a
Scholar
;
and
the
Court
,
where
he
was
to
be
a
Man
:
In
the
first
of
these
,
his
indefatigabl●
industry
,
his
methodical
study
,
his
quick
apprehension
,
his
faithful
memory
,
his
solid
judgement
,
his
active
fancy
,
his
grave
and
quick
countenance
,
his
sharp
and
piercing
eye
,
raised
him
b●
discreet
and
wary
steps
to
all
the
perferments
,
an●
commended
him
to
all
the
employments
of
th●
University
,
when
Proctor
whereof
he
was
admitted
for
his
prudence
to
the
Earl
of
Devonshire's
service
,
which
hazarded
;
and
when
Divinity-Reader
observed
by
the
Lords
of
Rochester
and
Lincoln
for
his
judgement
,
which
advanced
him
.
As
his
design
was
above
the
level
of
modern
Sciolists
,
s●
were
his
Studies
not
prepossessed
with
the
parti●●
Systemes
of
Geneva
,
but
freely
conversant
with
the
impartial
volumes
of
the
Church
Catholick
:
〈◊〉
had
an
infallible
apprehension
of
the
Doctrine
and
Discipline
,
and
a
deep
insight
into
the
interest
〈◊〉
Christianity
:
This
capacious
soul
conversed
with
the
most
knowing
of
all
Judgements
,
to
finde
the
bottome
of
all
Errors
;
and
with
the
most
Judicious
of
his
own
,
to
discern
the
grounds
of
all
truth
.
He
had
his
eye
on
the
University
to
reduce
it
,
when
Head
of
St.
John's
;
on
the
lower
Functions
o●
the
Church
in
his
Pastoral
charges
,
to
reform
them
;
and
upon
the
higher
,
when
Dean
of
Gloucester
,
Prebend
of
Westminster
,
and
Bishop
of
St.
Davids
,
to
settle
them
.
He
was
a
man
of
that
search
and
judgement
,
that
he
found
out
the
principles
of
government
that
were
true
to
the
Church
;
of
that
faithfulnesse
and
resolution
,
that
amidst
all
discouragements
he
was
true
to
them
:
The
Church-government
he
found
by
many
private
spirited
men
,
accommodated
to
their
ease
and
interest
,
he
adjusted
to
truth
and
settlement
;
consulting
not
humors
which
are
uncertain
as
interest
,
but
truth
which
is
certain
as
Eternity
.
Arch-Bishop
Abbot's
Yield
,
and
they
will
be
pleased
at
last
,
was
a
great
miscarriage
,
Arch-Bishop
Laud's
Resolve
,
for
there
is
no
end
of
yielding
,
was
great
policy
.
His
great
reach
in
Government
suitable
to
that
King's
apprehensions
,
commended
him
to
King
James
;
his
vast
ability
and
integrity
,
to
K.
Charles
and
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
;
To
the
first
whereof
he
was
a
Privy-Councellor
,
to
the
other
a
Bosom-friend
,
before
both
whom
he
laid
the
best
Representations
and
Ideas
of
the
English
government
,
as
to
things
and
persons
in
severall
abstracts
,
of
any
man
under
heaven
.
I
have
heard
a
States-man
say
,
That
none
knew
the
joynts
,
turnings
,
flexures
,
and
interests
of
all
Parties
in
Church
or
State
,
that
were
either
to
be
encouraged
or
suppressed
,
with
the
seasons
and
opportunities
to
do
it
,
so
well
as
Dr.
Laud.
Discerning
was
his
fore-sight
,
compleat
his
intelligence
,
exact
his
correspondence
,
quick
his
dispatches
;
seasonable
and
effectual
his
Sermons
and
Discourses
,
inquisitive
and
observing
his
Converse
.
His
Instruments
were
able
and
knowing
men
,
that
were
faithful
to
the
Church
,
as
he
was
in
Manwaring
and
Mountagu's
case
to
them
;
Knowing
well
(
as
he
wrote
to
my
Lord
of
Buckingham
)
that
discouragements
would
deter
men
of
parts
,
whom
encouragements
might
make
serviceable
.
He
knew
no
man
better
how
to
temper
a
Parliament
,
having
a
Catalogue
of
all
the
Nobility
and
Gentry
,
with
their
Interest
and
Inclination
in
his
eye
:
He
understood
none
more
exactly
what
was
to
be
discoursed
and
proposed
to
them
,
having
a
clear
apprehension
of
the
several
Junctures
and
Tendencies
of
affair●
.
He
entertained
no
thought
but
what
was
publick
〈◊〉
his
breast
;
no
man
,
but
what
was
nobly
spirit●●
in
his
familiarity
:
Ever
watchful
he
was
of
all
opportunities
to
advance
the
Churches
honour
1.
In
her
Sons
,
as
Bishop
Iuxon
,
&c.
2.
H●●
Discipline
,
as
in
his
several
Visitations
,
Articles
Star-Chamber
,
and
High-Commission-matters
3.
In
her
Endowments
,
as
the
buying
of
Impropriations
in
Ireland
.
4.
In
her
Priviledge
,
as
the
Canons
of
England
.
5.
In
her
Ornaments
,
as
the
repairing
&
furnishing
of
St.
Pauls
and
most
other
Churches
in
his
Province
.
6.
In
her
Universities
,
〈◊〉
the
Statutes
of
Oxford
,
the
priviledges
of
Cambridge
,
and
his
vast
gifts
of
Oriental
Books
and
Buildings
,
and
his
vaster
design
for
both
,
—
and
as
watchful
against
all
the
designs
to
undermine
it
.
The
Feoffees
for
Impropriations
he
laid
aside
;
the
Sabbatizing
and
Predestinarian
controversies
he
silenced
;
the
Licentious
Presse
he
reduced
;
Dignities
and
Preferments
he
worthily
filled
up
;
bribes
at
Court
he
retrenched
:
No
interest
,
no
alliance
could
ever
advance
an
unworthy
person
while
he
lived
:
Breed
up
your
children
well
,
and
I
will
provide
for
them
,
was
his
saying
to
all
his
Relations
.
Many
a
man
would
be
disobliged
by
his
sternnesse
at
first
view
,
for
whom
if
deserving
,
he
would
afterwards
contrive
kindnesses
by
after
and
unexpected
favours
.
No
place
of
experience
did
he
ever
misse
,
none
of
employment
did
he
ever
decline
:
He
would
never
see
Authority
baffled
,
but
either
wave
all
proceedings
against
offenders
,
or
go
through
with
them
;
His
prosecutions
,
as
in
Leighton's
Case
,
were
close
;
his
observation
of
all
circumstances
,
as
in
Lincoln's
,
wary
;
his
declarations
of
the
Cases
clear
and
con●●cing
,
as
in
Pryn's
,
Bastwick's
,
and
Burton's
;
〈◊〉
sentence
milde
and
compassionate
,
as
in
Wal●●'s
;
his
resolution
and
justice
ever
making
way
to
〈◊〉
mercy
,
and
his
mercy
crowning
his
justice
:
Often
did
he
confer
with
the
ablest
and
most
Or●●odox
Clergy
,
with
the
most
experienced
and
●owing
Civilians
,
with
the
most
observing
and
●●served
Courtiers
,
with
the
profoundest
Lawyers
,
●ith
the
skilfullest
and
discreetest
Mechanicks
;
out
fall
whose
opinions
the
result
was
,
his
most
exact
●●dgement
in
any
case
that
came
before
him
at
Court
,
or
at
Lambeth
.
The
roughnesse
of
his
nature
sent
most
men
dis●●tented
from
him
:
but
so
,
that
he
would
often
of
●●●self
find
ways
and
meanes
to
sweeten
such
as
had
〈◊〉
worth
again
,
when
they
least
looked
for
it
.
—
●ny
were
offended
at
his
prudent
zeal
against
the
●●wish
Sabbatism
in
his
government
,
who
were
●●ry
well
satisfied
with
the
strictnesse
of
his
obser●●tion
of
the
Lords
day
in
his
person
.
—
But
let
●●e
great
man
expresse
another
;
Bishop
Gauden
,
●●rch-Bishop
Laud
;
whose
thoughts
lye
so
much
●●e
more
levelled
to
his
brave
Sentiments
,
as
his
●●ignity
did
to
his
high
place
.
As
to
his
secret
design
of
working
up
this
Church
by
little
and
little
to
a
Romish
conformity
and
captivity
,
I
do
not
believe
(
saith
he
)
he
had
any
such
purpose
or
approved
thought
;
●ecause
,
beside
his
declared
judgement
and
consci●●nce
,
I
finde
no
secular
Policy
or
Interest
which
●ecould
thereby
gain
,
either
private
or
publick
,
●ut
rather
lose
much
of
the
greatnesse
and
freedom
●hich
he
and
other
Bishops
,
with
the
whole
Church
had
:
without
which
temptation
,
no
man
in
charity
may
be
suspected
to
act
contrary
to
so
clea●
convictions
,
so
deliberate
and
declared
determinations
of
his
Conscience
and
Judgement
in
Religion
,
as
the
Arch-Bishop
expresses
in
his
very
excellent
Book
.
I
am
indeed
prone
to
think
,
that
possibly
he
wished
there
could
have
been
any
fai
〈…〉
close
or
accommodation
between
all
Christian
Churches
,
(
the
same
which
many
grave
and
learned
men
have
much
desired
:
)
And
it
may
be
〈◊〉
Lordship
thought
himself
no
unfit
Instrument
〈◊〉
make
way
to
so
great
and
good
a
work
,
considering
the
eminencies
of
Parts
,
Power
,
and
Favour
which
he
had
.
Haply
he
judged
(
as
many
learned
and
moderate
men
have
)
that
in
some
things
between
Papists
and
Protestants
,
differences
are
made
wider
,
and
kept
more
open
,
raw
and
sore
they
need
be
,
by
the
private
pens
and
passions
of
some
men
,
and
the
Interests
of
some
little
parties
whose
partial
policies
really
neglect
the
public
and
true
Interest
of
the
Catholike
Church
and
Christian
Religion
;
which
consists
much
in
peace
as
well
as
in
purity
,
in
charity
,
as
in
verity
.
He
found
that
where
Papists
were
silenced
and
convinced
in
the
more
grand
and
pregnant
Disputes
(
that
they
are
Novel
,
partial
,
and
unconform
to
Catholick
Churches
in
ancient
times
)
then
he
found
they
recovered
spirits
,
and
contested
afresh
again
〈…〉
the
unreasonable
transports
,
violences
and
immoderations
of
some
professing
to
be
Protestants
who
,
to
avoid
Idolatry
and
Superstition
,
run
to
Sacriledge
and
rudenesse
in
Religion
.
denying
many
things
that
are
just
,
honest
,
safe
,
true
and
reasonable
,
meerly
out
of
an
(
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
)
excessive
Antipathy
to
Papists
.
Possibly
the
Arch-Bishop
and
some
other
Bishops
of
his
minde
did
rightly
judge
,
That
the
giving
an
Enemy
fair
play
by
just
,
safe
,
and
honourable
concessions
,
was
not
to
yield
the
conquest
to
him
,
but
the
most
ready
way
to
convince
him
of
his
weaknesse
;
when
no
honest
yieldings
could
help
him
any
more
,
then
they
did
endanger
the
true
cause
or
courage
of
his
Antagonist
.
For
my
part
,
I
think
the
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
was
neither
Calvinist
,
nor
Lutheran
,
nor
Papist
,
as
to
any
side
or
party
;
but
all
,
so
far
as
he
saw
,
they
agreed
with
the
Reformed
Church
of
England
,
either
in
Fundamentals
,
or
innocent
and
decent
Superstructures
:
Yet
I
believe
he
was
so
far
a
Protestant
,
and
of
the
Reformed
Religion
,
as
he
saw
the
Church
of
England
did
protest
against
the
Errors
,
Corruptions
,
Usurpations
,
and
Superstitions
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
or
against
the
novel
opinions
and
practices
of
any
party
whatsoever
.
And
certainly
he
did
with
as
much
honour
as
justice
so
far
own
the
Authentick
Authority
,
Liberty
and
Majesty
of
the
Church
of
England
(
in
it's
reforming
and
setling
of
it's
Religion
)
that
he
did
not
think
fit
any
private
new
Masters
whatsoever
,
should
obtrude
any
Foreign
or
Domestick
Dictates
to
her
,
or
force
her
to
take
her
copy
of
Religion
from
so
petty
a
place
as
Geneva
was
,
or
Frankefort
,
or
Amsterdam
,
or
Wittenbergh
,
or
Edenborough
;
no
nor
from
Augsburg
,
or
Arnheim
,
nor
any
foreign
City
or
Town
,
any
more
than
from
Trent
or
Rome
;
none
of
which
had
any
Dictatorian
Authority
over
this
great
and
famous
Nation
or
Church
of
England
,
further
than
they
offered
sober
Counsels
,
or
suggested
good
Reasons
,
or
cleared
true
Religion
by
Scripture
,
and
confirmed
it
by
good
Antiquity
,
as
the
best
interpreter
and
decider
of
obscure
places
,
and
dubious
cases
.
Which
high
value
,
it
is
probable
,
as
to
his
Mother
the
Church
of
England
,
and
her
Constitutions
,
was
so
potent
in
the
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
,
that
,
as
he
thought
it
not
fit
to
subject
her
to
the
insolency
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
so
nor
to
the
impertinencies
of
any
other
Church
or
Doctor
,
of
far
lesse
repute
in
the
Christian
world
.
No
doubt
his
Lordship
thought
it
not
handsome
in
Mr.
Calvin
to
be
(
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
rather
then
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
)
so
censorious
of
the
Church
of
England
,
as
to
brand
it's
Devotion
or
Liturgy
with
his
tolerabiles
ineptiae
,
who
knew
not
the
temper
of
the
Nation
,
requiring
then
not
what
was
absolutely
best
,
but
most
conveniently
good
:
and
such
not
onely
the
Liturgy
was
,
but
those
things
which
he
calls
tolerable
toys
.
I
having
occasion
to
speak
with
him
,
he
upon
a
time
was
pleased
to
grant
me
access
,
&
some
freedom
of
speech
with
him
;
and
withal
asked
me
the
opinion
of
the
people
of
him
:
I
told
him
they
reported
his
Lordship
endeavoured
to
betray
the
Church
of
England
to
the
Roman
correspondency
and
communion
.
He
at
length
very
calmly
and
gravely
thus
reylyed
;
protesting
with
a
serious
attestation
of
his
integrity
before
God's
Omniscience
,
that
however
he
might
mistake
in
the
mean
and
method
,
yet
he
never
had
other
design
than
the
glory
of
God
,
the
service
of
his
Majesty
,
the
good
order
,
peace
and
decency
of
the
Church
of
England
:
that
he
was
so
far
from
complying
with
Papists
,
in
order
to
confirm
them
in
their
Errors
,
that
he
rather
chose
such
Methods
to
advance
the
honour
of
the
reformed
Religion
in
England
,
as
he
believed
might
soon
silence
the
cavils
of
fiercer
Papists
,
induce
the
more
moderate
Recusants
to
come
in
to
us
,
as
having
lesse
visible
occasion
given
them
by
needlesse
Distances
and
Disputes
to
separate
from
us
;
which
he
thought
arose
much
from
that
popular
Variety
,
Inconstancy
,
Easinesse
,
Irreverence
and
Uncomeliness
,
which
might
easily
grow
among
us
in
the
outward
profession
of
Religion
,
for
want
of
observing
such
uniformity
and
decency
in
Religion
,
as
were
required
by
the
Laws
and
Canons
of
this
Church
and
State
.
He
added
,
that
he
had
(
further
)
a
desire
,
as
much
as
he
could
to
relieve
the
poor
and
depressed
condition
of
many
Ministers
,
which
he
had
to
his
grief
observed
in
Wales
and
England
,
where
their
Discouragements
were
very
great
,
by
reason
of
the
tenuity
and
incompetency
of
their
Livings
;
that
in
his
Visitations
he
had
sometime
seen
it
with
grief
,
among
twenty
Ministers
,
not
one
man
had
so
much
as
a
decent
Garment
to
put
on
,
nor
did
he
believe
their
other
treatment
of
Life
was
better
;
that
he
found
the
sordid
and
shameful
Aspect
of
Religion
and
the
Clergy
,
gave
great
Advantages
to
those
that
were
Popishly
inclined
,
who
would
hardly
ever
think
it
best
for
them
to
joyn
with
that
Church
which
did
not
maintain
either
it's
own
Honour
,
or
it's
Clergy
to
some
competency
and
comeliness
.
Much
more
discourses
his
Lordship
was
pleased
to
use
at
several
times
to
this
purpose
,
which
commands
my
charity
to
clear
him
,
as
far
as
I
can
judge
,
of
any
tincture
of
Popery
truly
so
called
;
or
of
any
superstition
,
which
placeth
a
Religion
in
the
nature
and
use
of
that
thing
which
God
hath
not
either
particularly
commanded
,
or
in
general
permitted
.
I
suppose
he
thought
,
that
where
God
hath
allowed
to
his
Church
,
and
to
every
private
Christian
(
so
far
as
may
consist
with
the
Churches
Order
and
Peace
)
a
liberty
of
ceremonious
and
circumstantial
decency
as
to
God's
worship
;
there
neither
himself
was
to
be
blamed
,
nor
did
he
blame
other
men
,
if
they
kept
within
those
discreet
and
inoffensive
bounds
,
which
either
the
Churches
publick
peace
required
,
or
its
indulgence
to
promote
Christians
permitted
.
That
Uniformity
he
pressed
was
not
more
advantageous
to
Religion
,
which
must
of
necessity
have
been
propagated
,
when
Controversies
had
been
turned
to
devotion
,
than
it
was
necessary
for
the
State
;
which
cannot
be
secure
,
as
long
as
there
is
a
marke
of
distinction
,
under
which
all
Male-contents
may
shrowd
themselves
;
a
note
of
separation
,
whereby
the
Factions
may
reckon
their
parties
,
and
aestimate
their
strength
,
and
a
way
open
to
popularity
to
the
ambition
of
any
whose
interest
or
desperatenesse
shall
adventure
to
make
himself
head
of
so
great
a
party
.
He
was
a
person
of
so
great
abilities
(
which
are
the
designations
of
nature
to
dignity
and
command
)
that
they
raised
him
from
low
beginnings
to
the
highest
Office
the
Protestant
profession
acknowledgeth
in
the
Church
,
and
he
was
equal
to
it
:
His
learning
appeared
eminent
in
his
Book
against
Fisher
,
and
his
piety
illustrious
in
his
Diary
:
He
was
of
so
publick
a
spirit
that
both
the
Church
and
State
have
lasting
Monuments
of
the
virtuous
use
he
made
of
his
Princes
favour
;
at
his
admittance
into
which
,
he
dededicated
all
the
future
Emolumeuts
of
it
to
the
glory
of
God
,
and
the
good
of
men
,
by
a
projection
of
many
noble
Works
:
most
of
which
he
accomplished
,
and
had
finished
the
rest
,
had
not
the
fate
of
the
Nation
checked
the
current
of
his
Design
,
and
cut
off
the
course
of
his
Life
.
He
was
not
contented
by
himself
onely
to
serve
his
Generation
,
(
for
so
he
might
appear
more
greedy
of
fame
,
than
desirous
of
the
universal
benefit
)
but
he
endeavoured
to
render
all
others
as
heroick
,
if
they
aimed
at
a
capacity
for
his
friendship
:
For
(
I
have
heard
it
from
his
Enemies
)
no
great
man
was
admitted
to
a
confidence
and
respect
with
him
,
unlesse
he
made
Addresse
by
some
act
that
was
for
the
common
good
,
or
for
the
ornament
and
glory
of
the
Protestant
Faith
.
Learned
men
had
not
a
better
Friend
,
nor
Learning
it self
a
greater
Advance●
.
He
searched
all
the
Libraries
of
Asia
,
and
from
severall
parts
of
the
world
purchased
all
the
Ornaments
and
helps
of
Literature
he
could
,
that
the
English
Church
might
have
(
if
possible
)
by
his
care
,
as
many
advantages
for
knowledge
,
as
almost
all
Europe
did
contribute
to
the
grandeur
of
that
of
Rome
.
The
outward
splendour
of
the
Clergy
was
not
more
his
care
,
than
their
honour
,
by
a
grave
and
pious
conversation
.
He
would
put
them
into
a
power
of
doing
more
good
,
but
was
sore
against
their
Vices
and
Vanities
.
He
scorned
a
private
Treasure
,
and
his
friends
were
rather
relieved
,
than
raised
to
any
greatnesse
by
him
.
In
his
election
of
friends
,
he
was
determined
to
the
good
and
wise
,
and
such
as
had
both
parts
and
desires
to
profit
.
The
Church
had
his
closest
embraces
;
if
otherwise
it
happened
,
their
frauds
,
not
his
choice
deserved
the
blame
.
Both
Papists
and
Sectaries
were
equally
his
Enemies
;
one
party
feared
,
and
the
other
hated
his
Virtues
.
Some
censured
his
zeal
for
Discipline
above
the
patience
of
the
Times
:
but
his
greatest
unhappinesse
was
,
that
he
lived
in
a
factious
Age
,
and
corrupt
State
,
and
under
such
a
Prince
,
whose
Vertues
not
admitting
an
immediate
approach
for
Accusations
,
was
to
be
wounded
with
those
it
did
caresse
.
But
when
Faction
and
Malice
are
worne
out
by
time
,
Posterity
shall
engrave
him
in
the
Albe
of
the
most
excellent
Prelacy
,
the
most
indulgent
Fathers
of
the
Church
,
and
the
most
injured
Martyrs
.
His
blood
was
accompanyed
with
some
tears
that
fell
from
those
Eyes
that
expected
a
pleasure
at
his
death
:
and
it
had
been
followed
with
a
general
mourning
,
had
not
the
publick
Miseries
,
and
the
present
Fears
of
Ruine
exacted
all
the
stock
of
Grief
for
other
objects
.
His
very
enemy
Sir
Edward
Deering
would
confesse
;
That
let
him
dye
when
he
would
,
St.
Pauls
would
be
his
Monument
,
and
his
Book
against
Fisher
his
Epitaph
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Lord
Keeper
Littleton
.
SIr
Edward
Littleton
,
the
eldest
son
of
Sir
Edward
Littleton
,
of
Mounslow
in
Shrop-shire
,
one
of
the
Justices
of
the
Marches
,
and
Chief-Justice
of
North-Wales
,
was
bred
in
Christs-Church
in
Oxford
,
where
he
proceeded
Batchellor
of
Arts
,
and
afterwards
was
one
of
the
Justices
of
North-Wales
,
Recorder
of
London
,
and
Sollicitor
to
King
Charles
.
From
these
places
he
was
preferred
to
be
Chief-Justice
of
the
Common-Pleas
,
and
made
Privy-Councellor
;
thence
advanced
to
be
Lord-Keeper
,
and
Baron
of
Mounslow
,
the
place
of
his
Nativity
.
He
died
in
Oxford
,
and
was
buried
in
Christs-Church
where
he
was
bred
:
—
Being
a
Member
of
the
Parliament
1628.
he
had
the
management
of
the
high
presumption
charged
on
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
about
King
James
his
death
;
wherein
he
behaved
himself
so
discreetly
between
the
jealousie
of
the
People
,
and
the
honour
of
the
Court
,
that
Sir
John
Finch
would
say
,
He
was
the
onely
man
for
taking
things
by
a
Right
bandle
.
—
And
Sir
Edward
Cook
,
that
He
was
a
well-poized
and
weighed
man
.
His
very
name
carried
an
Hereditary
credit
with
it
,
which
plaineth
out
the
way
to
all
great
Actions
:
his
virtue
being
authorized
by
his
nobility
,
and
his
undertakings
ennobled
by
his
birth
,
gained
that
esteem
,
which
meaner
men
attain
not
without
a
large
compasse
of
time
and
experience
:
worthlesse
Nobility
and
ignoble
worth
lye
under
equal
disadvantage
.
Neither
was
his
extract
so
great
as
his
parts
;
his
judgement
being
clear
and
piercing
;
his
Learning
various
and
useful
;
his
skill
in
the
Maximes
of
our
Government
,
the
fundamental
Laws
of
this
Monarchy
with
its
Statutes
,
and
Customes
,
singular
;
his
experience
long
and
observing
;
his
integrity
unblemished
and
unbyassed
;
his
Eloquence
powerful
and
majestick
,
and
all
befitting
a
States-man
and
a
Lord-Keeper
:
—
set
off
with
a
resolved
Loyalty
that
would
perform
the
harshest
service
his
Master
could
enjoyn
him
while
he
stayed
at
London
,
and
follow
the
hardest
fortune
he
could
be
in
when
at
Yorke
,
whither
he
went
with
the
great
Seal
he
knew
made
to
stamp
Royal
Commissions
,
rather
than
authorize
Rebellious
Ordinances
.
At
Oxford
he
did
good
service
during
the
Session
of
Parliament
by
Accommodations
there
,
and
as
good
during
their
recesse
by
his
interest
in
the
Country
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Marquess
Hamilton
.
A
Preacher
being
at
a
losse
what
to
say
of
a
party
deceased
,
concluded
his
Sermon
with
these
words
;
There
is
one
good
quality
in
this
man
,
viz.
that
he
was
born
,
and
that
God
made
him
:
And
another
,
viz.
That
he
is
dead
,
and
we
must
speak
nothing
but
good
of
the
dead
.
I
may
say
of
this
Noble-man
,
that
I
have
two
reasons
to
speak
well
of
him
.
1.
That
good
King
Charles
honoured
him
;
and
2.
That
his
wicked
Subjects
beheaded
him
,
otherwise
I
must
leave
these
Queries
as
I
finde
them
.
Quaere
1.
Why
should
Duke
Hamilton
post
without
leave
into
Scotland
,
when
the
Parliament
was
discontented
,
and
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
murthered
in
England
?
Quaere
2.
Why
should
Ramsey
the
Dukes
Messenger
to
the
King
of
Sweden
,
play
the
Embassadour
in
Germany
,
and
take
place
of
all
other
persons
there
?
Qu.
3.
What
design
was
that
which
Elphyston
,
Borthricke
,
Meldrum
,
Vobiltry
,
&c.
discovered
one
to
another
?
Qu.
4.
What
did
Ramsey
with
the
Pedigree
of
Hamilton
derived
from
James
I.
King
of
Scots
in
Foreign
parts
?
Qu.
5.
What
private
Instructions
had
Meldrum
to
Scotish
Officers
in
the
Swedish
Army
?
Qu.
6.
Why
was
Meldrum
,
Alexander
Hamilton
,
and
other
his
Dependants
,
so
preferred
in
the
Scots
Army
?
Qu.
7.
Why
were
there
such
Fears
and
Jealousies
whispered
in
Germany
of
the
English
Government
?
Qu.
8.
Why
was
not
Ramsey
able
to
give
a
positive
Answer
at
the
Tryal
by
combate
?
And
why
did
the
Marquess
take
him
off
before
the
Controversie
was
decided
?
Qu.
9.
Why
is
Huntley
put
by
,
and
Hamilton
made
high
Commissioner
?
Why
is
discontented
Balcanquel
employed
to
pen
Declarations
?
And
why
are
the
King's
Papers
,
Letters
,
&c.
taken
out
of
his
pocket
,
and
betrayed
to
the
Scots
?
And
why
did
the
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
(
writing
to
the
King
)
wish
him
not
to
trust
his
own
pockets
with
the
Letter
?
Qu.
10.
Why
doth
his
Mother
ride
with
pistols
at
her
Saddle-bow
,
leading
all
her
Kindred
and
Vassals
for
the
Covenant
?
Qu.
11.
Why
is
that
time
spent
in
posting
to
and
fro
to
patch
up
a
base
Pacification
with
the
Rebels
,
that
might
have
been
employed
in
suppressing
them
?
Qu.
12.
Why
did
the
Bishops
of
Rosse
and
Breben
,
Sir
Robert
Spotswood
,
Sir
John
Hay
,
the
Earl
of
Sterling
,
ride
post
to
England
to
intreat
the
King
not
to
trust
the
Marquess
?
Qu.
13.
Why
was
there
so
much
granted
to
the
Covenanters
in
Scotland
—
yea
and
time
given
them
to
do
their
businesse
?
Qu.
14.
Why
did
he
forbear
the
Common-prayer
at
Dalkeith
,
and
neglect
to
protest
the
King
's
gracious
Declaration
;
the
justice
and
clemeney
whereof
had
without
doubt
allayed
the
commotions
?
Qu.
15.
Why
did
he
not
set
out
the
King's
la
〈…〉
Declaration
before
the
Covenanters
Protestation
was
out
against
it
?
Qu.
16.
Why
was
there
nothing
done
with
the
Ships
sent
upon
the
coasts
of
Scotland
?
Qu.
17.
Why
did
he
so
caresse
his
covenanting
Mother
,
that
the
Scots
could
say
;
The
son
of
son
of
〈◊〉
geud
a
Mother
could
do
them
no
harm
?
Qu.
18.
Why
had
he
a
hand
in
most
of
the
Monopolies
and
Projects
of
England
?
Qu.
19.
Why
did
he
refuse
to
contribute
as
others
had
done
to
the
Scots
Wars
?
Qu.
20.
Why
did
he
intercede
for
Lowdon's
release
,
notwithstanding
the
trayterous
Letter
to
the
French
King
was
his
hand
?
Qu.
21.
How
comes
Montrosse
to
be
slighted
by
the
gracious
King
at
first
?
And
when
he
offered
his
service
again
,
how
came
his
Letters
into
the
Covenanters
hands
at
Newcastle
?
Qu.
22.
Why
did
he
and
Argyle
raise
such
Fears
and
Jealousies
in
Scotland
and
England
by
with-drawing
suddenly
from
the
Court
,
under
pretence
forsooth
of
danger
to
their
persons
?
Qu.
23.
Why
could
not
the
King
hear
of
the
Scots
design
to
invade
England
,
1643.
before
Montrosse
posted
first
to
Oxford
,
and
then
to
Gloucester
to
tell
him
of
it
,
though
the
Marquess
was
all
the
while
in
Scotland
?
Qu.
24.
And
yet
why
was
that
noble
person
mistrusted
till
the
Kings
interest
was
lost
in
that
Country
?
Qu.
25.
Why
was
he
and
his
brother
imprisoned
at
Oxford
?
And
why
did
the
King
say
,
Nay
,
if
Hamilton
leads
them
,
there
is
no
good
to
be
done
for
me
?
Qu.
26.
Why
did
the
King
say
,
That
he
must
dispose
of
the
Master
of
the
Horse
place
to
the
Earl
of
N.
That
my
Lord
Cottington
was
the
fittest
man
for
the
Treasury
,
and
that
Sir
Edward
Hyde
was
the
onely
man
he
could
trust
with
the
Secretaries
affairs
?
Being
loth
that
D.
H.
should
return
to
an
opportunity
of
recozening
them
:
Questions
these
,
that
shew
,
After-ages
can
scan
great
mens
lives
with
the
same
liberty
that
they
live
them
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Sir
Ralph
Hopton
.
GEntile
was
this
excellent
person's
extraction
in
the
West
of
England
,
and
man-like
his
Education
in
the
Low-Countries
,
that
School
of
War
,
where
Sir
William
Waller
and
he
learned
in
one
Camp
,
what
they
practised
in
two
:
The
one
being
no
lesse
eminent
for
his
service
under
his
late
Majesty
of
blessed
memory
,
than
the
other
was
for
his
against
him
.
The
one
was
the
best
Soldier
the
King
had
;
the
other
the
most
experienced
that
the
pretended
Parliament
boasted
of
.
None
sice●
to
balance
Sir
Ralph
Hopton's

His
two
great
Actions
,
the
one
at
Liscard
,
the
other
at
Stratton
,
cannot
be
better
described
than
by
an
Eye-witnesse
,
whose
are
these
:
as
he
saith
,
out
of
a
Manuscript
corrected
with
Sir
Ralph
's
own
hand
,
communicated
to
him
by
his
Secretary
Mr.
Tredus
.
At
Liscard
a
little
before
the
Fight
began
,
the
King's
party
took
it
into
seasonable
consideration
,
that
seeing
by
the
Commission
the
Lord
Mobun
brought
from
Oxford
,
four
persons
(
viz.
the
said
Lord
Mohun
,
Sir
Ralph
Hopton
,
Sir
John
Berkley
,
and
Colonel
Ashhurnham
)
were
equally
impowered
in
the
managing
of
all
Military
matters
:
And
seeing
such
equality
might
prove
inconvenient
(
which
hitherto
had
been
prevented
with
the
extraordinary
moderation
of
all
parties
)
in
ordering
a
Battel
,
it
was
fittest
to
fix
the
power
in
one
chief
;
and
general
consent
setled
it
in
Sir
Ralph
Hopton
:
He
first
gave
order
that
publick
Prayers
should
be
read
in
the
head
of
every
Squadron
,
and
it
was
done
accordingly
;
and
the
Enemy
observing
●t
,
did
stile
it
saying
of
Masse
,
as
some
of
their
Prisoners
afterwards
did
confesse
.
Then
he
caused
the
Foot
to
be
drawn
up
in
the
best
order
they
could
,
and
placed
a
Forlorn
of
Musquetiers
in
the
●●ttle
Inclosures
,
winging
them
with
the
few
Horse
and
Dragoons
he
had
.
This
done
,
two
small
My
〈…〉
ion
Drakes
speedily
and
secretly
fetched
from
the
Lord
Mohun's
house
,
were
planted
on
a
little
●urrough
within
random-shot
of
the
Enemy
;
yet
〈◊〉
,
that
they
were
covered
out
of
their
sight
with
small
parties
of
Horse
about
them
.
These
concealed
Mynions
were
twice
discharged
with
such
successee
,
that
the
Enemy
quickly
quitted
their
ground
;
And
all
their
Army
being
put
into
a
rout
,
the
King's
Forces
had
the
execution
of
them
;
which
they
performed
very
sparingly
taking
1250
prisoners
,
all
their
Cannon
and
Ammunition
,
and
most
of
their
Colours
,
and
Arms
;
and
after
publick
Thanks
,
taking
their
repose
at
Liscard
.
Stratton
Fight
succeeds
on
Tuesday
the
16th
of
May
,
1643.
The
King's
Army
wants
Am
munition
,
and
hath
a
steep
hill
to
gain
,
with
all
disadvantage
and
danger
;
the
Horse
and
Dragoons
being
not
above
five
hundred
,
and
the
Foot
two
thousand
four
hundred
.
|
The
Parl.
Forces
were
well
furnished
and
barticadoed
upon
the
top
of
the
hill
,
their
Foot
3400.
and
their
Horse
not
many
indeed
,
having
dispatched
1200
to
surprize
the
Sheriff●
and
Commissioners
at
Bedmin
.
|
On
the
King's
side
,
order
was
given
to
force
the
passage
to
the
top
of
the
Hill
by
four
several
Avenues
:
the
ascent
was
steep
and
difficult
;
resolutely
did
his
Majesties
Forces
get
up
,
and
obstinately
did
the
Enemy
keep
them
down
.
The
Fight
continued
doubtful
,
with
many
countenances
of
various
events
(
from
five
in
the
Morning
,
till
three
in
the
Afternoon
)
amongst
which
most
remarkable
,
the
smart
charge
made
by
M.
G.
Chudleigh
,
with
a
stand
of
Pikes
on
Sir
Bevil
Greenvil
,
who
fell
nobly
himself
,
and
had
lost
his
squadron
,
had
not
Sir
John
(
now
Lord
Berkley
,
who
led
up
th●
Musquetiers
on
each
side
of
Sir
Bevil
)
seasonably
relieved
it
,
so
resolutely
reinforcing
the
Charge
,
that
Major-General
Chudleigh
was
taken
Prisoner
Betwixt
three
and
four
of
the
Clock
the
Commanders
of
the
King's
Forces
,
who
embraced
those
four
several
wayes
of
ascent
,
met
to
their
mutual
joy
almost
at
the
top
of
the
hill
,
which
the
routed
enemy
confusedly
forsook
.
In
this
service
,
though
they
were
Assailants
,
they
lost
very
few
men
,
and
no
considerable
Officer
,
killing
of
the
Enemy
about
three
hundred
,
and
taking
seventeen
hundred
prisoners
,
all
their
Cannon
(
being
thirteen
pieces
of
brasse
Ordnance
)
and
Ammunition
(
seventy
barrels
of
powder
)
with
a
Magazine
of
Bisket
and
other
provision
proportionable
.
For
this
victory
publick
Prayer
and
Thanksgiving
was
made
on
the
hill
;
then
the
Army
was
disposed
of
to
improve
their
successe
to
the
best
advantage
.
—
Nothing
had
sunk
this
great
spirit
,
but
the
fate
of
Kingdomes
,
with
whose
ruine
onely
he
was
contented
to
fall
,
and
disband
his
brave
Soldiers
upon
honourable
terms
.
Five
things
made
my
Lord
Hopton
so
eminently
serviceable
.
1.
His
great
insight
into
the
designes
,
and
prudent
foresight
of
the
events
of
present
Councels
;
which
when
most
doubted
and
wavered
,
gave
him
that
resolution
that
undertook
great
difficulties
,
and
bore
up
against
greater
.
2.
His
experience
of
War
in
general
,
and
his
acquaintance
with
that
seat
of
it
committed
to
him
in
particular
.
3.
His
renown
all
over
the
Kingdome
for
piety
and
moderation
,
and
within
his
own
association
for
hospitality
,
civility
,
and
charity
.
4.
His
name
among
the
Enemies
,
as
confiderable
for
his
generousnesse
and
justice
,
as
for
his
valour
and
conduct
.
5.
His
Estate
,
that
set
him
above
mercenarinesse
;
and
his
care
for
money
,
that
set
his
Soldiers
above
need
,
the
occasion
of
mutinying
among
themselves
,
or
of
incivilities
towards
others
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Earl
of
Carnarvan
.
RObert
Dormer
Ar.
was
on
the
tenth
of
June
1615.
made
Baronet
by
K.
James
,
&
on
the
30
day
of
the
same
month
was
by
him
created
Baron
Dormer
of
Wing
in
Buckinghamshire
.
His
Grand-childe
Robert
Dormer
was
by
K.
Charles
in
the
4th
of
his
Reign
created
Viscount
Ascot
,
&
Earl
of
Carnarvan
.
He
lost
his
life
fighting
for
him
who
gave
him
his
honour
,
at
the
first
Battel
of
Newbury
.
Being
sore
wounded
,
he
was
defired
by
a
Lord
,
to
know
of
him
what
suit
he
would
have
to
his
Majesty
in
his
behalf
,
the
said
Lord
promising
to
discharge
his
trust
in
presenting
his
request
,
and
assuring
him
,
that
his
Majesty
would
be
willing
to
gratifie
him
to
the
utmost
of
his
power
.
To
whom
the
Earl
replyed
,
I
will
not
dye
with
a
Suit
in
my
mouth
to
any
King
,
save
to
the
King
of
Heaven
.
By
Anne
daughter
to
Philip
Earl
of
Pembrook
and
Montgomery
,
he
had
Charles
,
now
Earl
of
Carnarvan
.
From
his
noble
Extract
,
he
received
not
more
honour
than
he
gave
it
:
For
the
blood
that
was
conveyed
to
him
through
so
many
illustrious
veins
,
he
derived
to
his
Children
more
maturated
for
renow●
and
by
a
constant
practice
of
goodnesse
more
habituated
to
vertue
.
His
youth
was
prepared
for
action
by
study
,
without
which
even
the
most
eminent
parts
of
Noble-men
seem
rough
and
unpleasant
sant
,
in
despight
of
the
splendor
of
their
fortune
:
But
his
riper
years
endured
not
those
retirements
,
and
therefore
brake
out
into
manlike
exercises
at
home
,
and
travel
abroad
.
None
more
noble
,
yet
none
more
modest
;
none
more
valiant
,
yet
none
more
patient
.
—
A
Physician
at
his
Father-in-Law's
Table
gave
him
the
Lye
;
which
put
the
company
to
admire
on
the
one
hand
the
man's
impudence
,
and
on
the
other
my
Lord's
mildenesse
,
until
he
said
,
I
'll
take
the
Lye
from
him
,
but
I
'll
never
take
Physick
of
him
.
—
He
may
speak
what
doth
not
become
him
,
I
'll
not
do
what
is
unworthy
of
me
.
—
A
vertue
this
!
not
usual
in
Noble-men
,
to
whom
the
limits
of
Equity
seem
a
restraint
,
and
therefore
are
more
restlesse
in
Injuries
.
In
the
middest
of
horrour
and
tumults
his
soul
was
serene
and
calm
.
As
humble
he
was
as
patient
.
Honour
and
nobility
,
to
which
nothing
can
be
added
,
hath
no
better
way
to
increase
,
than
when
secured
of
its
own
greatnesse
,
it
humbleth
it self
,
and
so
at
once
obligeth
love
,
and
avoideth
envy
.
His
carriage
was
as
condescending
as
heroick
,
and
his
speech
as
weighty
as
free
.
He
was
too
great
to
envy
any
mans
parts
and
vertues
,
and
too
good
not
to
encourage
them
.
Many
a
time
would
he
stoop
with
his
own
spirit
,
to
raise
other
mens
.
—
He
neglected
the
minute
and
little
circumstances
of
compliance
with
vulgar
humors
,
aiming
at
what
was
more
solid
and
more
weighty
:
Moderate
men
are
applauded
,
but
the
Heroick
are
never
understood
.
Constant
he
was
in
all
that
was
good
:
this
was
his
heroick
expression
when
solicited
by
his
Wives
Father
to
desist
from
his
engagement
with
the
King
,
Leave
me
to
my
Honour
and
Allegiance
.
No
security
to
him
worth
a
breach
of
Trust
;
no
interest
worth
being
unworthy
.
His
conduct
was
as
eminent
in
War
,
as
his
carriage
in
Peace
;
many
did
he
oblige
by
the
generosity
of
his
minde
,
more
did
he
awe
with
the
hardinesse
of
his
body
;
which
was
no
more
softned
to
sloath
by
the
dalliances
of
a
Court
,
than
the
other
was
debauched
to
a
carelesnesse
by
the
greatnesse
of
his
Fortune
.
His
prudence
was
equal
to
his
valour
,
and
he
could
entertain
dangers
as
well
as
despise
them
;
for
he
not
onely
undeceived
his
enemies
surmises
,
but
exceeded
his
own
friends
opinion
in
the
conduct
of
his
soldiers
,
of
whom
he
had
two
cares
:
the
one
to
discipline
,
the
other
to
preserve
them
.
Therefore
they
were
as
compleatly
armed
without
,
as
they
were
well
appointed
within
;
that
surviving
their
first
dangers
,
they
might
attain
that
experience
&
resolution
which
is
in
vain
expected
from
young
and
raw
soldiers
.
To
this
conduct
of
a
General
,
he
added
the
industry
of
a
Soldier
,
doing
much
by
his
performances
,
more
by
his
example
,
that
went
as
an
active
soul
to
enliven
each
part
,
and
the
whole
of
his
brave
Squadron
.
But
there
is
no
doubt
but
personal
and
private
sins
may
oft-times
over-balance
the
justice
of
publick
engagements
.
Nor
doth
God
account
every
Gallant
a
fit
instrument
to
assert
in
the
way
of
war
a
righteous
cause
the
event
can
never
state
the
justice
of
any
cause
nor
the
peace
of
mens
consciences
,
nor
the
eternal
fate
of
their
souls
.
They
were
no
doubt
Martyrs
who
neglected
their
lives
,
and
all
that
was
dear
to
them
in
this
world
,
having
no
advantageous
designe
by
any
innovation
,
but
were
religiously
sensible
of
those
ties
to
God
the
Church
,
their
King
,
their
Countrey
;
which
lay
upon
their
souls
,
both
for
obedience
and
just
assistance
.
God
could
,
and
I
doubt
not
but
he
did
〈◊〉

〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
through
his
mercy
crown
many
of
them
with
eterlife
,
whose
lives
were
lost
in
so
good
a
cause
:
the
destruction
of
their
bodies
being
sanctified
as
a

to

their

Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Lord
Herbert
of
Cherbury
.
Edward
Herbert
,
son
of
Richard
Herbert
Esq
and
Susan
Newport
his
Wife
,
was
born
at
Montgomery-Castle
,
and
brought
to
Court
by
the
Earl
of
Pembrook
,
where
he
was
Knighted
by
K.
James
,
who
sent
him
over
Embassador
into
France
.
Afterwards
K.
Charles
the
first
created
him
Baron
of
Castle-Island
in
Ireland
,
and
some
years
after
Baron
of
Cherbury
in
Montgomery-shire
.
He
was
a
most
excellent
Artist
and
rare
Linguist
,
studied
both
in
Books
and
Men
,
and
himself
the
Author
of
two
Works
most
remarkable
,
viz.
A
Treatise
of
Truth
,
written
in
French
,
so
highly
prized
beyond
the
Seas
,
and
(
they
say
)
it
is
extant
at
this
day
with
great
Honour
in
the
Popes
Vatican
;
and
an
History
of
King
Henry
the
Eighth
;
wherein
his
Collections
are
full
and
authentick
;
his
observation
judicious
;
his
connexion
strong
and
●ohaerent
,
and
the
whole
exact
.
He
married
the
Daughter
and
sole
Heir
of
Sir
William
Herbert
of
St.
Julians
in
Monmouth-shire
,
with
whom
he
had
a
large
Inheritance
in
England
and
Ireland
;
and
died
in
August
,
Anno
Dom.
1648.
having
designed
a
fair
Monument
of
his
own
invention
to
be
set
up
for
him
in
the
Church
of
Montgomery
,
according
to
the
model
following
;
Upon
the
ground
a
Hath-pace
of
fourteen
foot
square
,
on
the
middest
of
which
is
placed
a
Dorick
Column
,
with
its
right
of
Pedestal
Basis
,
and
Capitols
fifteen
foot
in
height
;
on
the
Capitol
of
the
Column
is
mounted
an
Urn
with
a
Heart
Flamboul
,
supported
by
two
Angels
.
The
foot
of
this
Column
is
attended
with
four
Angels
,
placed
on
Pedestals
at
each
corner
of
the
said
Hath-pace
,
two
having
Torches
reverst
,
extinguishing
,
the
Motto
of
Mortality
;
the
other
two
holding
up
Palms
,
the
Emblemes
of
Victory
.
When
this
noble
person
was
in
France
,
he
had
private
Instructions
from
England
to
mediate
a

Peace
for
them
of
the
Religion
;
and
in
case
of
refusal
,
to
use
certain
menaces
.
—
Accordingly
being
referred
to
Luynes
the
Constable
and
Favourite
of
France
,
he
delivereth
him
the
Message
,
reserving
his
threatnings
till
he
saw
how
the
matter
was
relished
.
—
Luynes
had
hid
behind
the
Curtain
a
Gentleman
of
the
Religion
,
who
being
an
Ear-witnesse
of
what
passed
,
might
relate
to
his
friends
what
little
expectations
they
ought
to
entertain
from
the
King
of
England's
intercession
.
Luynes
was
very
haughty
,
and
would
needs
know
what
our
KING
had
to
do
with
their
affairs
:
Sir
Edward
replyed
;
It
's
not
you
to
whom
the
King
my
Master
oweth
an
account
of
his
actions
:
and
for
me
,
it
's
enough
that
I
obey
him
.
In
the
mean
time
I
must
maintain
,
That
my
Master
hath
more
reason
to
do
what
he
doth
,
than
you
to
aske
why
he
doth
it
?
Nevertheless
,
If
you
desire
me
in
a
gentle
fashion
,
I
shall
acquaint
you
further
.
Whereupon
Luynes
bowing
a
little
,
said
,
Very
well
.
The
Embassador
answered
'
;
That
it
was
not
on
this
occasion
onely
,
that
the
King
of
Great
Britain
had
desired
the
Peace
and
prosperity
of
France
,
but
upon
all
other
occasions
,
when
ever
any
War
was
raised
in
that
Countrey
;
and
this
he
said
was
his
first
reason
.
The
second
was
,
That
when
a
Peace
was
setled
there
,
his
Majesty
of
France
might
be
better
disposed
to
assist
the
Palatinate
in
the
affairs
of
Germany
.
Luynes
said
,
We
will
have
none
of
your
advices
.
The
Ambassador
replyed
,
That
he
took
that
for
an
Answer
,
and
was
sorry
onely
that
the
affection
and
the
good
will
of
the
King
his
Master
was
not
sufficiently
understood
;
and
that
since
it
was
rejected
in
that
manner
,
he
could
do
no
lesse
then
say
,
That
the
King
his
Master
knew
well
enough
what
he
had
to
do
.
Luynes
answered
;
We
are
not
afraid
of
you
.
The
Embassador
smiling
a
little
,
replyed
,
If
you
had
said
you
had
not
loved
us
,
I
should
have
believed
you
,
and
made
another
answer
:
In
the
mean
time
,
all
that
I
will
tell
you
more
is
,
That
we
know
very
well
what
we
have
to
do
.
Luynes
hereupon
rising
from
his
Chair
,
with
a
fashion
and
countenance
a
little
discomposed
,
said
,
By
God
,
if
you
were
not
Monsieur
the
Embassador
,
I
know
very
well
how
I
would
use
you
.
Sir
Edw:
Herbert
rising
also
from
his
Chair
,
said
;
That
as
he
was
his
Majesty
of
Great-Britain
'
s
Embassador
,
so
he
was
also
a
Gentleman
,
and
that
his
Sword
whereon
be
laid
his
band
,
should
do
him
reason
if
he
had
taken
any
offence
.
After
which
Luynes
replying
nothing
,
the
Embassador
went
on
his
way
toward
the
door
;
and
Luynes
seeming
to
accompany
him
,
he
told
him
there
was
no
occasion
to
use
such
Ceremony
after
such
Language
;
and
so
departed
,
expecting
to
hear
further
from
him
:
But
no
Message
being
brought
him
from
Luynes
,
he
had
in
pursuance
of
his
Instructions
a
more
civil
Audience
of
the
King
at
Coignac
,
where
the
Marshal
of
St.
Geran
told
him
he
had
offended
the
Constable
,
and
he
was
not
in
a
place
of
security
here
:
whereunto
he
answered
;
That
he
held
himself
to
be
in
a
place
of
security
wheresoever
he
had
his
Sword
by
him
.
Luynes
resenting
the
affront
,
got
Cadenet
his
brother
,
D●
:
of
Chaun
,
with
a
ruffling
train
of
Officers
(
whereof
there
was
not
one
,
as
he
told
K.
James
,
but
had
killed
his
man
)
as
an
Embassador
extraordinary
to
mis-report
their
Traverses
somuch
to
the
disparagement
of
Sir
Edw:
that
the
Earl
of
Carlisle
,
sent
to
accommodate
Le
Mal
Entendu
that
might
arise
between
the
2
Crowns
,
got
him
called
home
;
until
the
Gentleman
behinde
the
Curtains
,
out
of
his
duty
to
truth
and
honour
,
related
all
circumstances
so
,
as
that
it
appeared
,
that
though
Luynes
gave
the
first
affront
,
yet
Sir
Edward
kept
himself
within
the
bounds
of
his
Instructions
and
Honour
,
very
discreetly
and
worthily
.
—
Insomuch
that
he
fell
on
his
knees
to
King
James
before
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
to
have
a
Trumpeter
,
if
not
an
Herald
sent
to
Monsieur
Luynes
,
to
tell
him
,
that
he
had
made
a
false
Relation
of
the
passages
before-mentioned
,
and
that
Sir
Edward
Herbert
would
demand
reason
of
him
with
Sword
in
hand
on
that
point
.
—
The
King
answered
,
he
would
take
it
into
consideration
:
But
Luynes
a
little
after
died
,
and
Sir
Edward
was
sent
Embassador
to
France
again
,
and
otherwise
employed
so
,
that
if
it
had
not
been
for
Fears
and
Jealousies
,
the
bane
of
publick
services
,
he
had
been
as
great
in
his
Actions
,
as
in
his
Writings
;
and
as
great
a
States-man
,
as
he
is
confessed
a
Scholar
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
the
Lord
Capel
.
HIS
privacy
before
the
War
was
passed
with
as
much
popularity
in
the
Country
,
as
his
more
publick
appearance
in
it
was
with
valour
and
fidelity
in
the
Field
:
In
our
too
happy
time
of
Peace
none
more
pious
,
hospitable
,
charitable
,
and
munificent
:
In
those
more
unhappy
of
our
Differences
,
none
more
resolved
,
Loyal
,
and
active
.
The
people
loved
him
so
well
,
that
they
chose
him
one
of
their
Representatives
;
and
the
King
esteemed
him
so
much
,
that
he
sent
for
him
as
one
of
his
Peers
in
that
Parliament
,
wherein
the
King
and
People
agreed
in
no
one
thing
,
save
a
just
kindnesse
for
my
Lord
Capel
,
who
was
one
of
those
excellent
Gentlemen
,
whose
gravity
and
discretion
(
the
King
saith
)
he
hoped
would
allay
and
fix
the
Factiou
to
a
due
temperament
(
guiding
some
mens
well-meaning
Zeal
by
such
rules
of
moderation
,
as
are
best
both
to
preserve
and
restore
the
health
of
all
States
and
Kingdomes
)
keeping
to
the
dictates
of
his
conscience
,
rather
than
the
importunities
of
the
people
;
to
what
was
just
,
than
what
was
safe
,
save
onely
in
the
Earl
of
Strafford's
case
,
wherein
he
yielded
to
the
publick
Necessity
with
his
Royal
Master
,
but
repented
with
him
too
,
sealing
his
contrition
for
that
miscarriage
with
his
blood
,
when
he
was
more
troubled
for
his
forced
consent
to
that
brave
person's
death
,
than
for
losing
his
own
life
;
which
he
ventured
throughout
the
first
War
,
and
lost
by
his
Engagement
in
the
second
.
For
after
the
surrender
of
Oxford
,
he
retyred
to
his
own
house
,
but
could
not
rest
there
,
until
the
King
was
brought
home
to
his
;
which
all
England
endeavouring
as
one
man
,
my
Lord
adventured
himself
at
Colchester
to
extremity
,
yielding
himself
upon
condition
of
Quarter
,
which
he
urged
by
the
Law
of
Arms
,
that
Law
that
(
as
he
said
on
the
Scaffold
)
governeth
the
world
,
and
against
the
Lawes
of
God
and
Man
(
they
are
his
own
words
)
for
keeping
the
fifth
Commandment
,
dying
on
the
Scaffold
at
Westminster
,
with
a
courage
that
became
a
clear
conscience
,
and
a
resolution
befitting
a
good
Christian
;
expressing
that
judicious
piety
in
the
Chamber
of
Meditation
at
his
death
,
that
he
did
in
his
[
](A48796-e129060-b)a
a
Since
published
.
Book
of
Meditation
in
his
life
:
a
piety
that
(
as
it
appeared
by
his
dismission
of
his
Chaplain
,
and
the
formalities
of
that
time
's
devotion
,
before
he
came
to
the
Scaffold
)
was
rather
his
inward
frame
and
habit
,
than
outward
ostentation
or
pomp
;
from
the
noble
Sentiments
whereof
(
as
the
Poet
(
not
unhappily
alluding
to
his
Arms
;
A
Lyon
rampant
in
a
Field
Gules
between
three
crosses
)
expresseth
it
)
Our
Lyon-like
Capel
undaunted
stood
,
Beset
with
Crosses
in
a
Field
of
blood
.
as
one
that
affrighted
death
,
rather
than
was
afrighted
by
it
—
It
being
very
observable
,
that
a
learned
Doctor
of
Physick
present
at
the
opening
and
embalming
of
this
noble
Lord
,
and
Duke
Hamilton
,
delivered
at
a
publick
Lecture
,
that
the
Lord
Capel's
was
the
least
heart
,
and
the
Duke
's
the
greatest
that
ever
he
saw
;
agreeable
to
the
observation
in
Philosophy
,
that
the
spirits
contracted
within
the
least
compasse
,
are
the
cause
of
the
greater
courage
.
Three
things
are
considerable
in
this
incomparable
person
.
1.
His
uninterrupted
Loyalty
keeping
pace
with
his
Life
;
for
his
last
breath
was
spent
in
proclaiming
K.
Charles
the
II.
in
the
very
face
of
his
Enemies
,
as
known
to
him
to
be
a
vertuous
,
noble
,
gentle
,
just
,
and
great
Prince
;
a
Perfect
English-man
in
his
inclination
.
2.
His
great
merits
and
modesty
,
whereof
K.
Charles
I.
writes
thus
to
his
excellent
Queen
;
There
is
one
that
doth
not
yet
pretend
,
that
doth
deserve
as
well
as
any
,
I
mean
Capel
;
Therefore
I
desire
thy
assistance
to
finde
out
something
for
him
before
he
aske
.
3.
The
blessing
of
God
upon
his
noble
,
but
suffering
Family
,
who
was
a
Husband
to
his
excellent
Widow
,
and
a
Father
to
his
hopeful
Children
,
whom
not
so
much
their
birth
,
beauty
,
and
portion
(
though
they
were
eminent
for
these
)
as
their
Vertues
,
married
to
the
best
Bloods
and
Estates
in
the
Land
,
even
when
they
and
the
Cause
they
suffered
for
were
at
the
lowest
.
It
's
the
happiness
of
good
men
,
though
themselves
miserable
,
that
their
seed
shall
be
mighty
,
and
their
Generation
blessed
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Bishop
Andrews
.
I
Have
much
a-do
to
prevail
with
my
own
hand
to
write
this
excellent
Prelate
a
States-man
of
England
,
though
he
was
Privy-Councellor
in
both
Kingdomes
:
For
I
remember
what
he
would
say
when
he
came
to
the
Council-Table
;
Is
there
any
thing
to
be
done
to
day
for
the
Church
?
If
they
answered
Yea
,
then
he
said
,
I
will
stay
.
—
If
No
,
he
said
,
I
will
be
gone
.
—
Though
yet
this
be
an
instance
of
as
much
prudence
as
any
within
the
compass
of
our
Observation
:
So
safe
is
every
man
within
the
circle
of
his
own
place
,
and
so
great
an
argument
of
abilities
hath
it
been
always
confessed
,
to
know
as
well
what
we
ought
,
as
what
we
can
,
especially
in
Clergy-men
,
whose
over-doing
doth
abate
their
reverence
,
and
increase
their
envy
,
by
laying
open
those
defects
and
miscarriages
,
which
are
otherwise
hallowed
,
or
at
least
concealed
in
the
mystick
sacrednesse
of
their
own
function
.
Not
but
that
men
of
that
gravity
and
exactnesse
,
of
that
knowledge
and
experience
,
of
that
stayedness
and
moderation
,
of
that
sobriety
and
temperance
,
of
that
observation
and
diligence
as
Bishops
are
presumed
to
be
,
were
in
all
Governments
judged
as
fit
to
manage
publique
affairs
,
as
men
of
any
other
professions
whatever
,
without
any
prejudice
to
the
Church
;
which
must
be
governed
as
well
as
taught
,
—
and
managed
as
well
as
a
society
dwelling
in
the
world
,
as
under
the
notion
of
a
peculiar
people
taken
out
of
it
.
—
His
successful
skill
in
dealing
with
the
Papists
under
my
Lord
of
Huntington
President
of
the
North
;
and
with
the
Puritans
under
Doctor
Cosin
,
an
Ecclesiastical
Officer
in
the
South
,
recommended
him
to
Sir
Francis
Walsingham's
notice
,
as
a
person
too
useful
to
be
buried
in
a
Country-Living
;
who
thereupon
intended
to
set
up
his
Learning
in
a
Lecture
at
Cambridge
,
to
confute
the
Doctrine
of
Rome
;
untill
Queen
Eliz.
resolved
to
set
up
his
prudence
in
other
Employments
at
Court
,
to
countermine
its
policy
:
where
I
know
not
whether
the
acuteness
of
his
Sermons
took
most
with
the
most
Learned
the
devotion
of
them
with
the
most
pious
;
or
the
prudence
of

with
the
most
Wise
—
(
it
hath
been
one
thing
always
to
Preach
learnedly
,
and
another
thing
to
preach
wisely
)
for
to
the
Immensity
of
his
Learning
,
he
added
excellent
Principles
of
politick
prudence
,
as
a
governour
of
the
Church
,
and
a
Councellor
of
State
,
wherein
he
was
conspicuous
;
not
for
the
crafty
projects
and
practices
of
policy
,
or
for
those
sinister
ways
of
Artifice
and
subtlety
,
or
the
admired
depths
of
Hypocrisie
called
reason
of
State
;
nor
the
measures
and
rules
of
his
Politicks
and
Prudentials
were
taken
from
the
great
experience
he
had
gotten
,
and
many
excellent
observations
he
had
made
out
of
all
Histories
,
as
well
Humane
as
Divine
:
though
he
always
laid
the
greatest
weight
upon
the
grounds
and
instances
of
holyScripture
,
which
gives
the
truest
judgement
of
wisdom
or
folly
;
considering
the
mixture
of
State-affairs
,
with
those
of
the
Church
in
Christian
Common-wealths
,
and
the
fitnesse
of
sober
and
discreet
Clergy-men
for
those
of
the
State
in
all
.
It
's
a
wonder
how
Clergy-men
come
to
be
excluded
publick
Councils
at
any
time
:
but
observing
Bishop
Andrews
his
insight
into
the
Fundamental
constitution
of
our
State
,
as
appears
from
his
Speech
in
the
Countess
of
Shrewsbury's
Case
:
His
distinct
foresight
of
the
consequences
of
Affairs
,
evident
in
his
speech
against
Thraske
:
His
circumspect
care
of
the
Publick
,
visible
in
his
Petition
to
King
James
then
sick
at
New-Market
;
that
the
Prince
then
under
Scotch
Tutors
be
educated
by
well-principled
men
,
the
occasion
that
King
James
took
to
bring
him
up
himself
so
exactly
in
the
Doctrine
and
Discipline
of
our
Church
,
that
it
's
a
question
whether
he
was
more
by
his
Pen
or
Sword
,
his
Scepter
or
his
Style
,
The
Defender
of
the
Faith
:
—
His
wonderfull
skill
in
the
government
of
this
Church
,
discerned
by
the
excellent
King
Charles
,
in
that
he
sent
so
many
Bishops
to
consult
with
him
,
1625.
what
was
to
be
done
for
the
Church
in
that
Parliament
:
His
caution
and
moderation
,
in
that
he
never
,
unlesse
upon
great
considerations
innovated
in
his
Church
,
but
left
things
in
the
same
decency
and
order
he
found
them
(
knowing
that
all
alterations
have
their
dangers
)
I
am
astonished
to
think
,
that
Bishops
should
be
forbidden
secular
employment
in
our
time
.
—
Who

Gauden

of
an
astonishing

Observations
on
the
Life
of
Henry
Earl
of
Manchester
.
HEnry
Earl
of
Manchester
,
third
son
to
Sir
Edward
Mountague
,
Grand-childe
to
Sir
Edward
Mountague
Lord
Chief-Justice
of
the
King's
Bench
in
King
Edward
the
sixth's
time
,
was
born
at
Boughton
in
Northampton-shire
.
One
skilful
in
mysterious
Arts
,
beholding
him
when
a
School-boy
,
foretold
that
by
the
pregnancy
of
his
parts
,
he
would
raise
himself
above
the
rest
of
his
Family
;
which
came
to
passe
accordingly
:
He
being
bred
first
in
Christs-Colledge
in
Cambridge
,
then
in
the
Middle-Temple
,
where
he
attained
to
great
Learning
in
the
Laws
;
passed
through
many
preferments
,
as
they
are
reckoned
up
,
viz.
-
1.
Sergeant
at
Law
.
-
2.
Knighted
by
K.
James
,
July
22.
1603.
-
3.
Recorder
of
London
.
-
4.
Lord
Chief
Justice
of
the
King's

,
Novemb.

-
5.
Lord
Treasurer
of
England
,
Decemb.

1620.
-
6.
Baron
of
Kimbolton
.
-
7.
Viscount
Mandevile

-
8.
President
of
the
Council
,
Sept.
29.
1621.
-
9.
Earl
of
Manchester
.
-
10.
Lord
Privy-Seal
.
He
wisely
perceiving
that
Courtiers
were
but
as
Counters
in
the
hands
of
Princes
,
raised
and
depressed
in
valuation
at
pleasure
,
was
contented
rather
to
be
set
for
a
smaller
sum
,
than
to
be
quite
put
up
into
the
box
.
Thus
in
point
of
place
and
preferment
,
being
pleased
to
be
what
the
King
would
have
him
(
according
to
his
Motto
,
Movendo
non
mutando
me
)
he
became
almost
what
he
would
be
himself
,
finally
advanced
to
an
Office
of
great
Honour
.
When
Lord
Privy-Seal
,
he
brought
the
Court
of
Requests
into
such
repute
,
that
what
formerly
was
called
the
Alms-Basket
of
the
Chancery
,
had
in
his
time
well-nigh
as
much
meat
in
,
and
guests
about
it
(
I
mean
Suits
and
Clients
)
as
the
Chancery
it self
.
His
Meditations
of
Life
and
Death
,
called
Manchester
Al
mondo
,
written
in
the
time
of
his
health
,
may
be
presumed
to
have
left
good
impressions
on
his
own
soul
,
preparatory
for
his
dissolution
,
which
happened
164
...
The
Office
of
Lord
Treasurer
was
ever
beheld
as
〈◊〉
place
of
great
charge
and
profit
.
My
Lord
being
demanded
what
it
might
be
worth
per
ann
.
made
this
answer
;
That
it
might
be
some
thousands
of
pounds
to
him
(
who
after
death
would
go
instantly
to
heaven
)
twice
as
much
to
him
who
would
go
to
Purgatory
,
and
a
Nemo
scit
to
him
who
would
adventure
to
a
worse
place
.
But
indeed
,
he
that
will
be
a
bad
husband
for
himself
in
so
advantageous
a
place
,
will
never
be
a
good
one
for
his
Soveraign
.

In
his
more
happy
Interest
by
his
Secretary
Vietta
(
upon
his
flight
out
of
England
after
the
Earl's
apprehension
)
with
the
Duke
of

,
then
the
greatest
patron
of

;
who
having
discovered
a
design
to

King

as

sent

with
notice

by

where
after
some
suspicion
of

Italian
message
,
discovering
himself
to
the
King
by
David
Lindsey's
means
,
he
was
treated
with
much
honour
,
complacency
,

secrecy
for
three
months

After

time
he
returned
to

enquiring
concerning

Adding
withal
;
That
since
he
knew
he
wanted
neither
Learning

neither
Abilities
nor
Faithfulnesse
,
he
would
employ
him
to
others
,
as
he
was
employed
to

;
which
accordingly
he
did
to

place

chose
as
most
suitable
to

sweetned
with

particularly
his
elegant
application
of
Stories
:
He
had
such
interest
,
that
he
was
never
denyed
any
request
;
whereby
he
did
many
services
to
the
Protestant
interest
(
with
his
Chaplain
Bishop
Biddle
,
and
Padre
Pauloe's
assistance
)
during
the
Controversie

And
in

thither

gained
many
Priviledges
for
the
English
along

In
the

calling

indeared

together
with
his

so
far
,
that
he
gave
him
a
Diamond
worth
above
a
thousand
pounds
,
which
he
bestowed
on
his
Hostess
,
saying
,
He
would
not

by
a
man
that
was
an
open
Enemy

this
sentence
,
Legatus

,
whereof
Scioppius
made
a
malicious
use
in
his
Books
against
King
James
,
He
lost
himself
a
while
for
using
more
freedome
abroad
than
became
his
Employment
,
until
his
ingenuous
,
clear
,
and
choicely
eloquent
Apologies
recovered
him
to
more
respect
and
cautiousnesse
,
until
he
writ
Invidiae

over
his
Lodgings
at
Eaton-Colledge
,
the
Provostship
whereof
he
obtained
in
exchange
for
the
reversion
of
the
Mastership
of
the
Rolls
,
and
other
places
promised
him
;
Where
looking
upon
himself
in
his
Surplice
,
as
Charles
5
,
or
Philip
2.
in
Cloysters
,
his
Study
was
divine
Meditations

History

Characters
:
His
recreation
Philosophical
conclusions
,
and
Angling
;
which
he
called
his
idle
time
not
idly
spent
,
saying
,
he
would
rather
live
five
May-months
,
than
forty
Decembers
:
His
Table
was
exquisite
,
where
two
youths
attended
,
upon
whom
he
made
the
observations
that
were
to
furnish
his
designed
discourse
of
Education
:
His
Histories
and
Observations
remarkable
,
his
Apophthegms
sage
and
quick
.
1.
Being
in
a
Popish
Chappel
,
a
merry
Priest
that
knew
him
,
sent
a
Paper
to
him
,
with
this
question
;
Where
was
your
Religion
before
Luther
?
Under
which
he
writ
;
Where
yours
is
not
,
in
the
written
word
of
God
.
2.
Being
asked
,
whether
a
Papist
could
be
saved
?
He
replyed
;
You
may
be
saved
without
knowing
that
:
look
to
your self
.
3.
Hearing
one
rayl
against
Arminius
&
Popery
,
he
answered
,
S●●
,
he
that
understands

,
concludeth
worse
:
—
If
you
had
studied
Popery
so
much
as
I
have
,
and
knew
Arminius
so
well
as
I
did
,
how
learned
,
how
strict
,
and
how
rare
a
man
he
was
,
you
would
not
fall
so
foul
on
his
person
,
nor
thinke
that
the
further
you
go
from
the
Church
of
Rome
,
the
nearer
you
are
to
God
.
4.
One
pitched
upon
for
Embassador
,
came
to
Eaton
,
and
requested
from
his
some
Experimental
rule
for
his
prudent
and
safe
carriage
in
his
Negotiation
;
to
whom
he
smilingly
gave
this
for
an
in
〈…〉ble
Aphorism
:
That
to
be
in
safety
himself
,
&
serviceable
to
his
Country
,
be
should
alwayes
,
and
upon
all
occasions
speak
the
truth
;
For
(
said
he
)
you
shall
never
be
believed
;
and
by
this
meanes
your
truth
will
secure
your self
,
if
you
shall
ever
be
called
to
any
account
:
and
it
will
also
put
your
Adversaries
(
who
will
still
hunt
counter
)
to
a
losse
in
all
their
disquisitions
and
undertakings
.

And
when
he
made
his

out
of

to

Recreation
,
he
would
say
to
his
friends
;
How
useful
was
that
advice
of
a
holy
Monk
,
who
perswaded
his
friend
to
perform
his
customary
devotion
in
a
constant
place
,
where
his
former
thoughts
might
meet
him
;
for
(
said
he
)
at
my
being
at
that
School
,
seeing
the
place
where
I
sate
when
I
was
a
boy
,
occasioned
me
to
remember
my
youthful
thoughts
;
sweet
thoughts
indeed
,
that
promised
my
growing
years
numerous
pleasures
,
without
mixture
of
cares
,
and
those
to
be
enjoyed
when
time
(
which
I
thought
slow-paced
)
changed
my
youth
to
man-hood
;
and
now
there
are
a
succession
of
Boys
using
the
same
recreation
,
and
questionless
possessed
with
the
same
thoughts
.
Thus
one
generation
succeeds
another
both
in
their
Lives
,
Recreations
,
Hopes
,
Fears
,
and
Deaths
.

There
are
four
things
that
recommend
Sir
Henry
Wotton
to
posterity
:
1.
That
King
Charles
took
great
pleasure
in
corresponding
with
him
in
Letters
.
2.
That
my
Lord
Racon
took
great
pains
in
collecting
his
Apophthegme●
.
3.
That
Sir
Richard
Baker
,
who
submitted
most
of
his
Writings
to
his
Censure
,
said
of
him
;
That
the
Kingdome
yielded
not
a
fitter
man
to
match
the
Capriciousnesse
of
the
Italian
wits
.
And
4.
That

Observations
on
the
Lives
of
the
Lord
Wilmot
,
and
Sir
Tho.
Roe
.
THese
honourable
persons
are
united
not
so
much
in
their
own
relation
or
character
,
as
in
my
unhappinesse
,
who
was
promised
Observations
on
the
life
of
the
first
,
but
never
had
them
;
and
had
some
on
the
life
of
the
second
,
but
lost
them
.
1.
My
Lord
Wilmot
I
finde
acting
like
a
States-man
,
when
Commissary
in
the
expedition
against
the
Scots
;
and
speaking
like
a
Soldier
,
when
a
Member
of
the
Parliament
that
was
for
them
:
in
the
first
capacity
speaking
with
my
Lord
Conway
,
he
saw
the
King
would
be
overcome
by
the
English
at
home
,
if
he
overcame
not
the
Scots
abroad
.
In
the
second
,
whispering
with
some
Army-Officers
,
he
said
;
If
the
Scots
Army
were
paid
in
the
North
,
the
King's
Army
would
be
paid
in
the
South
.
—
A
wise
and
brave
speech
,
that
had
almost
rallied
all
the
Army
against
the
Parliament
,
as
soon
as
that
Parliament
had
rallied
their
multitude
against
the
King
;
but
that
treachery
got
easily
into
the
bosome
of
that
brave
Prince
,
that
had
nothing
but
honesty
in
his
heart
.
Yet
since
he
could
not
awe
the
counsels
of
the
faction
in
the
City
,
he
went
to
suppresse
their
Rebellion
in
the
Field
;
being
voted
a
Traytor
by
the
Rebels
,
because
he
endeavoured
they
should
not
be
so
.
What
he
performed
in
the
Wars
,
all
the
Kingdome
knows
;
what
he
did
at
Oxford
,
the
King's
Letters
intimate
;
what
he
negotiated
in
Germany
,
acted
in
Scotland
,
endeavoured
at
W●rcester
,
and
other
places
for
the
King's
Majesties
escape
and
restauration
,
posterity
shall
celebrate
while
he
lives
,
as
renownedly
in
History
,
as
he
doth
nobly
in
his
son
the
most
hopeful
Earl
of
Rochester
.
2.
Sir
Thomas
Roe
—
understood
the
dispositions
of
men
so
exactly
,
could
suit
their
humours
so
fitly
,
observe
opportunities
and
seasons
of
actions
so
punctually
,
keep
correspondence
so
warily
,
wade
through
difficulties
so
handsomely
,
wave
the
pinch
of
a
businesse
so
dexterously
,
contrive
Interests
so
suitably
,
that
he
was
advised
with
concerning
the
most
important
Affairs
of
the
Kingdoms
he
resided
in
abroad
,
and
admitted
of
the
Privy-Councel
while
he
lived
at
home
.
—
Where
his
speech
against
the
debasing
of
the
Coyn
at
the
Council-Table
will
last
as
long
as
there
is
reason
of
State
in
the
world
;
His
settlement
of
Trade
as
long
as
this
is
an
Island
;
and
his
Eastern
MSS.
as
long
as
there
are
Books
to
furnish
Libraries
,
or
Libraries
to
preserve
Books
.
Three
of
the
noblest
English
actions
beyond
Sea
are
these
.
1.
That
Sir
Thomas
Roe
pardoned
the
Dutch
Merchants
thrice
in
Persia
and
Turkey
at
his
mercy
.
2.
That
my
Lord
Wilmot
,
when
Embassador
in
Germany
,
refused
the
assistance
of
the
Popes
Nuncio
,
or
Turkish
Aga
;
judging
his
great
Master
,
when
at
lowest
,
above
those
suspected
Auxiliaries
.
3.
That
my
Lord
Culpeper
having
offered
him
in
Muscovy
all
the
English
goods
there
,
refused
them
,
declaring
his
Royal
Master
a
Father
of
his
Country
,
though
kept
out
of
it
by
Traytors
;
and
a
merciful
Prince
to
his
People
,
when
cast
off
by
the
Rebels
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
Arch-Bishop
Juxon
.
WIlliam
Juxon
,
born
at
Chichester
in
Sussex
,
was
bred
Fellow
in
St.
John's
Colledge
in
Oxford
,
where
he
proceeded
Batchelor
of
Law
;
very
young
,
but
very
able
for
that
Degree
:
afterwards
becoming
Doctor
in
the
same
Faculty
,
and
President
of
the
Colledge
,
was
one
in
whom
Nature
had
not
omitted
,
but
Grace
had
ordered
the
Tetrarch
of
humours
,
being
admirably
Master
of
his
Pen
and
Passion
.
For
his
Abilities
,
he
was
successively
preferred
by
King
Charles
the
first
,
Bishop
of
Hereford
and
London
,
and
for
some
years
Lord
Treasurer
of
England
:
wherein
he
had
Religion
to
be
honest
,
and
no
self-interest
to
be
corrupt
.
A
troublesome
place
in
those
times
,
being
expected
he
should
make
much
Brick
(
though
not
altogether
without
,
yet
)
with
very
little
straw
allowed
unto
him
:
Large
then
the
Expences
,
low
the
Revenues
of
the
Exchequer
.
Yet
those
Coffers
he
found
empty
,
he
left
filling
,
and
had
left
full
,
had
Peace
been
preserved
in
the
Land
,
and
he
continued
in
his
Place
.
Such
the
mildenesse
of
his
temper
,
that
Petitioners
for
money
(
when
it
was
not
to
be
had
)
departed
well
pleased
with
his
Denials
,
they
were
so
civilly
languaged
.
It
may
justly
seem
a
wonder
,
that
whereas
few
spake
well
of
Bishops
at
that
time
,
and
Lord
Treasurers
at
all
Times
are
liable
to
the
complaints
of
discontented
people
;
though
both
Offices
met
in
this
man
,
yet
with
Demetrius
he
was
well
reported
of
all
men
,
and
of
the
truth
it self
.
He
lived
to
see
much
shame
and
contempt
undeservedly
poured
on
his
Function
,
and
all
the
while
possessed
his
own
soul
in
patience
.
Nor
was
it
the
least
part
of
this
Prelat's
honour
,
that
amongst
the
many
worthy
Bishops
of
our
Land
,
King
Charles
the
first
selected
him
for
his
Confessor
at
his
Martyrdome
,
when
he
honoured
him
with
this
testimony
;
That
good
man
.
He
formerly
had
had
experience
[
in
the
case
of
the
Earl
of
Strafford
]
that
this
Bishop's
Conscience
was
bottom'd
on
piety
,
not
policy
,
the
reason
that
from
him
he
received
the
Sacrament
,
good
comfort
and
counsell
just
before
he
was
murthered
.
I
say
,
just
before
the
Royal
Martyr
was
murthered
;
a
Fact
so
foul
,
that
it
alone
may
confute
the
Errour
of
the
Pelagians
,
maintaining
that
all
sin
cometh
by
imitation
,
the
Universe
not
formerly
affording
such
a
Precedent
,
as
if
chose
Regicides
had
purposely
designed
to
disprove
the
observation
of
Solomon
,
that
there
is
no
new
thing
under
the
Sun
.
King
Charles
the
second
preferred
him
Arch-Bishop
of
Canterbury
1660.
He
died
in
the
year
of
our
Lord
,
1663.
and
with
great
solemnity
was
buried
in
St.
John's
Colledge
in
Oxford
,
—
to
which
he
was
a
great
Benefactor
,
though
a
greater
to
Pauls
and
Lambeth
;
and
greatest
of
all
to
the
Church
which
his
eminence
adorned
,
and
his
temper
secured
in
those
times
,
wherein
roughnesse
enraged
that
humour
,
which
delay
and
moderation
broke
:
a
discreet
yielding
to
the
multitude
is
the
securest
way
of
Conquest
:
They
that
hold
together
by
opposition
,
languish
and
moulder
away
by
indulgence
:
In
his
duty
,
this
good
man
went
along
with
Conscience
.
in
Government
,
with
Time
and
Law
.
He
had
the
happinesse
,
that
K.
James
admired
in
a
States-man
of
his
time
,
to
do
all
things
suavibus
modis
:
He
referred
his
Master
in
the
Earl
of
Strafford's
case
,
as
he
did
himself
in
all
cases
,
to
his
own
Conscience
for
matter
of
fact
,
and
to
the
Judges
for
matter
of
Law
;
who
according
to
their
Oath
ought
to
carry
themselves
indifferently
between
the
King
and
his
Subjects
.
—
The
King
was
not
more
happy
in
this
faithful
servant
,
than
he
was
in
his
followers
,
among
whom
there
was
no
uncivil
Austerity
to
disoblige
the
Subjects
,
nor
base
Corruption
to
incense
them
.
They
need
not
keep
state
,
they
had
so
much
real
power
;
nor
extort
,
they
had
so
much
allowed
advantage
.
His
care
was
his
servants
,
and
their
care
his
businesse
:
His
preferments
were
his
burthen
rather
than
his
honour
;
advanced
by
him
,
rather
than
advancing
him
—
and
therefore
he
was
more
ready
to
lay
them
down
,
than
others
to
take
them
up
:
Witnesse
his
Treasurers
Place
;
which
when
he
parted
with
(
like
those
that
scatter
their
Jewels
in
the
way
,
that
they
may
debar
the
violence
of
greedy
pursuers
)
no
lesse
than
four
durst
undertake
;
when
his
single
self
sufficed
for
the
two
greatest
troubles
of
this
Nation
,
the
Treasurer-ship
of
England
,
and
the
Bishoprick
of
London
.
Religion
was
the
inclination
and
composure
as
well
as
care
of
his
soul
;
which
he
used
not
as
the
artifice
of
pretence
or
power
,
but
as
the
ornament
and
comfort
of
a
private
breast
,
never
affecting
a
pompous
piety
,
nor
a
magnificent
vertue
,
but
approving
himself
in
secret
to
that
God
who
would
reward
him
openly
.
His
devotion
was
as
much
above
other
mens
,
as
his
Calling
;
his
meditations
equall
with
his
cares
;
and
his
thoughts
even
and
free
between
his
Affairs
and
his
Contemplations
,
which
were
his
pleasures
,
as
well
as
his
duty
,
the
uniform
temper
and
pulse
of
his
Christian
soul
.
Neither
was
his
Religion
that
of
a
man
onely
,
but
that
of
a
Bishop
too
,
that
made
his
Piety
as
universal
as
his
Province
,
by
such
assistances
of
power
,
as
brought
carnal
men
,
if
not
to
an
obedience
,
yet
to
such
a
degree
of
reverence
,
that
if
they
did
not
honour
,
they
might
not
despise
it
.
His
justice
was
as
his
Religion
,
clear
and
uniform
;
First
,
the
ornament
of
his
heart
,
then
the
honour
of
his
action
.
Neither
was
Justice
leavened
with
rigour
or
severity
,
but
sweetned
with
clemency
and
goodnesse
;
that
was
never
angry
but
for
the
publick
,
and
not
then
so
much
at
the
person
,
as
the
offence
:
So
ambitious
of
that
great
glory
of
Moderation
,
that
he
kept
it
up
in
spight
of
the
times
malignity
,
wherein
he
saw
all
change
without
himself
,
while
he
remained
the
self-same
still
within
the
Idea
of
sobriety
and
temperance
,
vertues
that
he
put
off
onely
with
his
life
:
Neither
was
this
a
defect
of
spirit
,
but
the
temper
of
it
;
that
though
it
never
provoked
troubles
,
yet
it
never
feared
them
:
His
minde
was
always
great
,
though
his
fortune
not
so
:
Great
to
suffer
,
though
not
always
able
to
act
:
so
good
his
temper
,
and
so
admirable
his
humility
,
that
none
ever
went
discontented
from
him
:
—
Never
●ourting
,
but
always
winning
people
,
having
a
passage
to
their
hearts
through
their
brain
;
and
making
them
first
admire
,
and
then
love
him
.
He
was
slow
,
not
of
speech
,
as
a
defect
;
but
to
speak
,
o●
of
discretion
;
because
when
speaking
,
he
plentifully
paid
the
Principal
and
Interest
of
his
Audito●●
expectation
.
In
a
word
,
his
government
as
a
Bishop
was
gentle
,
benigne
,
and
paternal
:
His
management
of
the
Treasury
was
such
,
that
he
served
his
Prince
faithfully
,
satisfied
all
his
friends
,
and
silenced
all
his
enemies
;
of
which
he
had
enough
as
a
Bishop
,
Greatnesse
is
so
invidious
and
suspected
;
though
none
as
a
man
,
goodnesse
is
so
meek
and
inoffensive
.
The
most
thought
the
worse
of
Dr.
Juxon
for
the
Bishops
sake
,
the
best
thought
the
better
of
the
Bishop
for
Dr.
Juxon's
sake
.
Observations
on
the
Life
of
John
Lord
Culpeper
.
I
Finde
nothing
promoting
him
to
his
first
preferment
of
Chancellor
of
the
Exchequer
,
but
his
pure
merit
;
nor
any
thing
advancing
him
to
his
after-honours
,
but
his
steady
Loyalty
;
—
which
when
others
stuck
to
London
(
in
compliance
with
that
Maxime
;
In
all
Divisions
keep
your self
to
the
Metropolis
,
the
chief
City
being
for
the
most
part
preserved
,
who-ever
prevaileth
,
in
a
Civil
Commotion
,
abounding
in
Money
and
Friends
,
the
readiest
Commodities
to
purchase
Quiet
)
carryed
him
after
a
persecuted
Soveraign
for
twenty
years
together
,
by
the
strong
obligation
of
a
well-principled
Conscience
,
and
the
well-weighed
observation
of
the
natural
Affection
of
all
Englishmen
to
their
lawful
Soveraign
;
from
whom
,
though
the
Arts
and
Impulses
of
seditious
Demagogues
may
a
while
estrange
and
divorce
their
mindes
,
yet
their
Genius
will
irresistibly
at
last
force
them
to
their
first
love
.
It
was
the
resolution
of
a
great
States-man
;
That
if
the
Crown
of
England
were
placed
but
on
an
Hedge-stake
,
he
would
be
on
that
side
the
Crown
was
.
His
first
service
was
to
discover
his
Soveraign
to
his
deluded
People
,
worthy
not
onely
of
their
obedience
,
but
their
lives
and
fortunes
.
His
next
was
,
to
lay
open
his
Enemies
in
all
their
Intrigues
and
Reserves
,
being
most
happy
in
all
the
Treaties
he
was
engaged
in
,
in
discerning
the
bottome
of
his
own
Parties
Interest
,
and
their
Adversaries
pretensions
discoveries
!
that
prevailed
on
all
that
was
either
noble
or
but
ingenuous
in
the
Nation
,
especially
whither
my
Lord
came
with
his
indefatigable
Industry
,
his
obliging
Converse
,
and
potent
Eloquence
,
excepting
London
it's
self
,
whither
he
was
sent
from
Nottingham
,
with
the
Earls
of
Southampton
and
Dorset
,
and
Sir
William
Wedale
Knight
,
the
very
day
the
King
set
up
his
Standard
there
.
The
Principle
he
went
upon
was
,
That
the
Faction
at
Westminster
was
no
Parliament
;
A
Principle
most
safe
on
all
hands
:
For
which
and
the
rest
of
his
judicious
Sentiments
,
he
hath
the
honour
to
be
enrolled
among
those
that
Traytors
durst
not
pardon
;
which
he
could
not
choose
but
smile
at
,
knowing
(
as
he
used
to
say
)
That
Treason
is
alwayes
within
five
years
weary
of
its
self
,
the
People
being
more
impatient
of
their
own
Libertinisme
,
than
of
the
strictest
and
most
heavy
government
.
His
way
of
Intelligence
from
L●●don
by
Mistresse
E.
P.
friend
to
J.
M.
puts
me
〈◊〉
minde
of
a
passage
in
Queen
Elizabeths
Reig●
who
being
presented
with
an
Overture
out
〈◊〉
Spain
,
so
secretly
managed
by
the
Councel
there
,
as
the
first
news
of
its
approach
came
with
its
sel●
the
Messengers
(
out
of
fear
of
a
surprizal
)
dispensing
the
Ceremonies
commonly
used
in
the
behalf
of
Embassadors
(
something
strange
,
considering
the
haughtinesse
of
that
Nation
)
did
much
inflame
the
Lord
Treasurer's
desire
to
know
the
farthest
extent
of
the
Negotiation
,
as
conducing
to
a
present
advantage
,
that
such
an
Answer
might
be
made
as
should
in
some
proportion
quadrate
with
the
demand
of
the
Catholique
King
,
at
that
time
standing
upon
Termes
little
different
from
those
of
an
Enemy
.
And
being
informed
from
the
ordinary
Espials
he
kept
about
his
Person
,
that
the
attempt
was
something
difficult
,
if
not
impossible
;
the
Don
out
of
distrust
still
carrying
his
Instructions
in
his
bosome
:
Burleigh
caused
such
a
Jesuite
to
be
apprehended
,
as
by
reason
of
former
miscarriages
could
not
expect
mercy
;
and
imparts
his
desires
to
him
under
as
large
promises
if
he
brought
them
about
,
as
threats
to
be
revenged
on
him
and
his
Associates
,
if
he
found
himself
abused
.
All
which
,
though
with
some
reluctancy
he
undertook
,
and
performed
,
through
the
mediation
of
a
fair
Lady
that
first
took
away
his
Commission
,
and
then
again
layd
it
under
his
pillow
whilest
he
slept
.
His
early
endeavours
for
Peace
by
Addresses
to
London
,
Scotland
,
Cornwal
,
speak
his
integrity
,
and
his
prudence
.
Every
inconsiderable
person
may
be
powerful
at
disturbances
:
but
to
forme
Peace
,
requires
much
wisdome
and
great
vertues
)
and
his
observations
upon
the
division
of
the
great
Faction
to
two
parties
,
Independent
,
and
Presbyterian
.
His
care
and
watchfulness
;
none
of
their
clashes
escaping
his
reach
,
which
was
ready
to
accommodate
as
occasion
served
their
respective
Interests
,
in
their
New
models
and
alterations
;
making
as
good
use
of
Fears
and
Jealousies
between
them
,
as
they
had
done
between
the
King
and
his
People
.
These
and
other
his
services
recommended
him
to
the
attendance
of
his
most
excellent
Majesty
when
Prince
,
in
the
perfecting
of
the
Western
Association
,
when
it
was
thought
fit
to
put
the
happiness
and
hope
of
the
Kingdom
in
two
bottomes
,
with
whom
he
continued
with
a
constant
fidelity
in
all
difficulties
,
performing
several
Embassies
during
their
banishment
with
honour
(
particularly
one
to
the
Emperour
,
who
had
great
respects
for
his
Master
,
and
an
aweful
regard
of
his
Cause
)
till
it
pleased
God
to
bring
his
Majesty
by
his
and
others
counsel
to
his
Father's
Throne
;
which
he
just
saw
,
and
dyed
Master
of
the
Rolls
,
June
1660.
From
one
of
whose
Relations
I
have
these
Notes
and
Postils
,
containing
some
of
the
policy
of
the
late
Times
,
from
1642.
to
1659.
—
which
I
set
down
nakedly
,
as
I
finde
them
;
not
supposing
they
are
his
,
but
that
they
were
among
his
Papers
.
1.
It
is
against
the
experience
of
the
wisest
Princes
of
France
and
England
,
to
leave
their
chief
City
in
times
of
tumult
;
—
yet
it
was
necessary
for
the
King
to
do
so
,
as
well
to
break
the
fury
of
the
worst
people
there
by
distance
and
time
,
as
to
dis-abuse
the
best
abroad
by
his
presence
and
time
:
—
and
indeed
it
had
been
a
shame
for
him
to
have
perished
in
a
tumult
.
2.
It
was
urged
,
that
the
King
should
not
delay
any
longer
the
War
,
—
but
besides
that
nothing
could
perswade
his
gracious
Majesty
to
a
War
,
but
pure
necessity
;
It
's
usually
observed
,
that
if
Boutefeus
make
not
the
feud
irreconcileable
by
a
desperate
action
,
Rebels
cool
,
consider
,
break
,
suspect
,
fear
,
and
fall
off
to
nothing
.
3.
The
repulse
of
Hotham
did
the
King
excellent
service
,
by
alarming
all
the
Loyal
in
the
Kingdome
with
their
designed
plot
.
4.
Especially
when
the
Country
saw
the
King
so
unwilling
to
engage
,
that
he
discharged
their
guards
several
times
.
5.
It
was
thought
unfit
to
send
to
the
Faction
from
Nottingham
,
until
it
was
rejoyned
that
men
of
understanding
and
fidelity
are
usually
employed
to
those
persons
against
whom
a
War
is
to
be
managed
,
to
discover
their
design
,
humour
,
forces
,
succours
,
and
what-ever
might
succour
or
strengthen
them
;
which
none
but
they
who
were
secured
with
the
priviledg
of
Agents
might
do
;
and
none
were
judged
fitter
than
they
that
were
best
acquainted
with
the
knowing
Ladies
,
and
the
talkative
Lords
.
6.
It
was
offered
that
Intelligence
should
be
written
to
satisfie
the
people
,
and
make
the
vulgar
pretences
ridiculous
:
But
quaere
,
whether
it
is
possible
for
the
Areana
Imperii
to
remain
always
under
so
exact
a
discipline
as
may
admit
a
thorow-inspection
of
the
multitude
without
danger
.
7.
When
it
was
urged
as
the
fundamental
Principle
the
King
should
proceed
upon
,
that
the
Faction
at
Westminster
was
no
Parliament
,
the
King
being
firme
to
his
promise
(
as
there
was
not
a
juster
man
alive
)
not
to
dissolve
them
without
their
leave
—
it
was
judged
that
self-preservation
being
the
first
principle
in
nature
,
that
concession
which
wisdome
saw
then
,
and
experience
since
,
so
contrary
to
that
principle
,
was
rather
to
be
repented
of
,
than
performed
.
8.
It
is
a
very
great
advantage
to
the
King's
Cause
,
that
his
Messages
of
Peace
were
sent
alwayes
after
his
Victories
;
and
his
Enemies
after
their
defeats
:
And
that
his
Declarations
were
natural
,
easie
,
as
grounded
upon
obvious
principles
of
Scripture
,
Law
,
and
Reason
;
and
theirs
harsh
,
forced
,
and
wilde
,
as
grounded
onely
upon
Pretences
and
Fancies
.
9.
It
's
a
probable
opinion
,
that
it
is
in
vain
to
treat
with
the
Rebels
,
who
can
never
trust
the
King
with
their
guilty
heads
.
10.
It
is
in
vain
to
yield
them
any
thing
,
since
all
Concessions
have
no
other
issue
than
either
or
both
of
these
two
inconveniences
.
1.
That
they
make
the
Faction
so
insolent
,
that
the
King
should
not
be
able
to
deny
nor
grant
them
any
thing
.
2.
That
they
justified
former
proceedings
,
and
layd
the
blame
upon
the
King
for
not
granting
that
sooner
,
which
he
thinks
fit
to
grant
now
.
Besides
,
it
's
more
fit
Propositions
come
to
the
King
,
than
from
him
.
11.
It
may
be
wondered
that
the
King
doth
not
cut
off
the
chief
of
the
Rebels
,
as
they
fall
into
his
hands
,
according
to
the
usual
Maxime
in
that
case
;
but
that
his
inclination
to
clemency
is
inexpressible
—
and
that
the
principle
he
goeth
upon
is
sure
,
though
deep
,
viz.
That
so
much
are
Man-kinde
in
general
,
and
the
English
in
particular
obliged
by
fair
usages
,
that
the
generality
of
this
Nation
returned
nine
times
in
1300
years
after
long
intervals
of
Usurpation
,
out
of
gratitude
as
well
as
duty
unto
their
Allegiance
to
the
posterity
of
good
,
pious
,
mercifull
,
but
unhappy
Princes
.
12.
When
it
was
urged
against
the
King's
going
to
London
upon
the
successe
in
the
West
,
that
the
City
would
pour
out
fresh
men
upon
him
,
as
at
Brainford
;
It
was
replied
,
that
the
City
&
Country
were
not
under
such
strong
delusions
as
then
,
but
were
more
sensible
of
the
miseries
they
had
been
trepanned
into
.
Besides
,
there
was
a
more
miraculous
power
of
conversion
went
along
with
the
King's
presence
where
ever
he
came
,
convincing
all
he
conversed
with
.
13.
Whether
the
King
beng
so
wise
and
able
,
it
were
not
convenient
to
contrive
it
so
,
that
the
people
might
see
how
well
he
acted
by
himself
,
—
provided
he
had
sufficient
security
?
14.
Whether
it
being
dangerous
that
the
Rebels
should
seize
(
as
God
forbid
they
should
)
on
the
whole
Court
at
once
,
it
were
not
convenient
that
his
Majesty
and
the
Prince
did
part
,
that
the
Kingdome
might
know
its
hope
as
well
as
its
happiness
;
and
that
their
interest
when
separated
,
might
be
more
spreading
than
when
together
?
15.
It
was
judged
prudence
to
let
the
successe
wherein
their
souls
were
unequal
,
overthrow
the
Faction
by
mutual
Jealousies
and
Animosities
,
till
it
dissipated
all
pretences
,
and
the
people
saw
none
oppressed
them
in
their
Estates
,
Liberties
,
Consciences
,
more
than
the
pretended
Patrons
of
them
all
.
An
Indempnity
without
regard
to
any
Faction
,
being
most
likely
to
render
the
misled
as
jealous
for
the
King
,
as
they
had
been
against
him
.
16.
It
were
to
be
wished
that
the
Parliament
did
draw
into
entire
Propositions
their
design
,
that
his
Majesty
and
his
People
might
make
a
clearer
judgement
of
it
in
order
to
an
accommodation
.
17.
His
Majesty
must
be
secured
of
the
Militiae
,
and
against
tumults
,
and
all
persons
invested
in
their
first
right
without
any
controversie
—
As
to
other
matters
,
a
full
debate
may
settle
them
,
with
such
explanations
and
qualifications
as
may
satisfie
all
parties
.
18.
It
's
thought
his
Majesty
may
concur
with
the
Parliament
about
the
Presbyterian
Government
for
three
years
,
the
time
allowed
by
themselves
;
and
that
at
the
three
years
end
the
very
Kingdome
will
throw
it
off
as
inconsistent
with
the
English
temper
,
and
unsuitable
with
the
British
Monarchy
:
—
And
so
likewise
in
other
things
which
look
plausible
in
the
general
,
but
are
unpracticable
in
the
particular
.
19.
Though
many
things
are
necessary
to
avoid
jealousies
,
which
are
inconvenient
,
yet
they
may
be
allowed
,
upon
the
respect
of
the
likelihood
that
all
things
will
in
time
return
to
their
proper
chanel
—
onely
a
general
Act
of
indemnity
is
the
best
bond
of
Peace
,
whereby
the
numerous
discontents
of
many
persons
and
families
otherwise
exposed
to
ruine
,
might
not
become
Fuel
to
new
disorders
,
or
Seeds
to
future
troubles
,
with
particular
regards
to
the
priviledges
of
the
City
,
notwithstanding
non-user
,
mis-user
,
abuser
,
and
the
interest
of
the
Army
,
—
an
indulgence
that
would
help
the
world
to
see
clearly
the
Kings
intentions
in
matter
of
future
government
.
20.
No
Act
to
passe
till
the
Peace
be
concluded
,
lest
what
his
Majesty
grants
,
may
be
an
argument
to
urge
what
he
must
deny
;
so
that
he
cannot
treat
in
Honour
,
Freedome
,
or
Safety
.
21.
Time
is
the
best
cure
of
Faction
.
22.
When
the
Treaty
is
broken
off
,
so
that
neither
side
could
reassume
it
without
a
seeming
yielding
,
it
should
be
renewed
upon
the
Queens
motion
,
provided
always
that
her
name
was
not
used
or
intimated
till
the
Rebels
willingness
to
complyance
were
preassured
.
But
stay
,
I
am
fallen
upon
mine
own
knowing
time
,
wherein
I
am
fitter
to
read
others
Observations
,
than
to
write
my
own
:
and
it
becomes
me
rather
to
be
instructed
,
than
to
instruct
.
Industry
and
Curiosity
bid
me
begin
this
Collection
where
Sir
W.
F.
Sir
R.
N.
Sir
J.
H.
Characters
end
:
and
modesty
enjoyns
me
to
finish
it
,
where
my
Contemporaries
own
knowledge
begins
,
—
with
whom
I
shall
quietly
passe
my
time
,
observing
how
far
the
affairs
I
see
or
hear
of
agree
with
those
I
have
read
of
.
Having
gained
thus
much
(
if
no
more
)
by
this
Essay
;
That
by
looking
into
the
Intrigues
of
former
times
,
I
have
learned
a
great
deal
of
reason
to
blesse
GOD
I
was
born
in
these
:
being
assured
,
that
murmurs
,
discontents
,
complaints
,
whisperings
,
speaking
evil
of
Dignities
;
the
common
,
but
unreasonable
faults
of
this
Age
,
are
kept
up
onely
because
men
are
ignorant
of
the
Ages
foregoing
:
And
as
my
Lord
Bacon
saith
of
the
Schoolmen
in
the
Church
,
so
I
say
of
troublesome
persons
in
the
State
;
that
they
are
so
,
because
they
know
nothing
beyond
their
own
time
:
whereas
if
the
most
discontented
person
did
but
compare
his
own
dayes
with
those
before
,
he
must
confesse
,
that
there
wants
nothing
in
the
general
frame
of
our
Government
(
particular
persons
miscarriages
must
be
always
allowed
)
to
make
us
most
happy
,
but
thankefulnesse
,
content
,
and
the
continuance
of
these
blessings
under
our
dread
Soveraign
,
for
whom
it
's
as
much
our
interest
as
our
duty
to
pray
according
to
St.
Chrysostoms
Liturgy
,
that
God
would
give
him
strength
,
victory
,
health
,
safety
,
length
and
tranquillity
of
dayes
:
or
in
Tertullian's
form
;
Long
life
,
a
secure
government
,
safe
Court
,
valiant
Army
,
faithful
Senate
,
good
People
,
quiet
world
,
&
what-ever
he
can
desire
as
a
King
,
or
as
a
man
.
Or
once
more
,
in
Lactantius
his
words
,
That
God
will
keep
him
,
who
is
the
keeper
of
all
things
in
his
Dominions
,
to
his
Felicity
,
and
our
Tranquillity
