The

,
and
what
a
Kingdome
is
,
and
how
that
in
many

Sainct
Dennis
in
his
Booke
Of
the
Deuine

,
woondring
at
his
greatnesse
and
excellencie
,
was
so
bolde
to
call
it

cleare

and
next

King
without

of

Asia

and

Natural

,
S.
Ambrose
that
graue
Authour
and
woorthy
of
credit
,
confirming
the
authoritie
of
Plinie
in
the
fifth
boke
of
his
Hexameron
,
speaketh
in
this
maner
:
The
Bées
do
choose
and
ordiane
them
a
King
,
and
when
they
are
vnder
his
authoritie
and
gouernement
they
seeke
not
at
any
tyme
to
lyue
at
libertie
,
but
haue
a
regarde
to
the
prorogatiue
and
preheminence
of
their
Prince
and
Iudge
,
and
to
the
maruellous
faith
,
feare
and
affection
that
they
beare
towards
him
,
whom
they
haue
elected
and
chosen
.
As
touching
his
bodie
(
sayth
hée
)
hée
hath
an
excellent
beautie
and
worthinesse
of
shape
,
in
the
which
he
doth
excéede
al
others
,
with
also
a
maruellous
gentlenesse
&
humblenesse
in
manners
:
for
if
hée
haue
any
sting
(
as
some
write
hée
hath
)
hée
neuer
vseth
it
for
any
reuenge
:
for
the
lawes
of
Nature
are
not
wrytten
in
letters
,
but
are
imprinted
in
mannes
heart
and
expressed
in
manners
:
for
the
more
nobly
any
man
is
descended
of
bloud
,
and
the
higher
in
degrée
of
honour
hée
is
placed
,
the
more
mercie
and
clemencie
hée
will
vse
towardes
those
that
do
offend
him
.
Bees
if
they
any
way
offend
the
king
they
kil
them selues
.
The
Persians
kil
themselues
after
they
haue
offended
Afterwardes
,
continuing
his
discourse
of
the
Bées
,
hée
addeth
therevnto
a
matter
most
myraculous
,
which
is
:
If
they
do
at
any
time
(
sayth
hée
)
violate
or
transgresse
the
lawes
of
their
Prince
,
they
think
they
are
condemned
,
and
slea
themselues
presently
with
their
owne
stings
.
The
like
thing
at
this
day
is
vsed
among
the
Persians
,
who
of
their
owne
méere
will
and
without
constraint
of
any
other
,
do
sacrifise
themselues
by
death
,
if
by
chaunce
they
haue
offended
,
or
declined
from
their
duties
in
any
thing
towards
their
Prince
or
otherwayes
.
For
there
is
no
nation
this
day
vnder
the
Sunne
,
that
obserueth
their
lawes
so
straightly
&
so
seuerely
as
they
do
.
And
yet
I
dare
assure
you
,
that
neither
the
Indians
,
nor
the
Samaites
,
nor
the
Persians
,
haue
not
in
greater
estimation
their
Kings
and
Princes
,
than
the
lyttle
sillie
Bées
haue
theyr
Capitaine
and
Chéefe
,
who
dare
not
presume
once
to
go
out
of
their
little
cabinettes
to
searche
for
their
meate
,
S.
Ambrose
vpon
this
matter
.
I
could
like
wise
bring
forth
the
testimonie
of
Vergilius
,
Columellus
,
Constantinus
,
and
a
gret
number
of
others
.
But
I
will
stay
and
make
an
ende
in
rehearsing
this
one
matter
which
Mapheus
Vegeus
Plinie
,
Aristotle
,
and
other
Authours
.
Afterwards
the
sayde
Sainct
Ambrose
ioyneth
to
it
this
that
foloweth
,
which
is
muche
to
the
purpose
of
our
matter
.
It
is
a
maruellous
thing
(
sayth
hée
)
howe
Nature
sheweth
her
puissance
,
namely
in
things
so
small
as
these
little
beastes
:
by
whose
examples
shée
doth
not
onely
instruct
and
teach
Kings
and
Princes
howe
to
indeuer
themselues
in
their
offices
towardes
their
Subiectes
,
but
also
their
Subiectes
with
what
fidelitie
and
reuerence
they
ought
to
honour
and
obey
them
.
And
it
is
no
strange
thing
therefore
,
if
the
wise
man
do
sende
these
lither
and
vnprofitable
persons
to
the
little
Antes
,
that
they
may
learne
of
them
and
by
their
industrie
,
S.
Ierome
writeth
)
when
hée
sayth
that
insensible
beastes
followe
their
Captaines
,
as
amongs
the
Bées
there
is
an
head
,
the
Cranes
followe
their
companions
in
good
order
.
Whereby
hée
séemeth
to
proue
that
it
is
méete
that
there
bée
one
chéefe
and
head
among
al
creatures
,
as
in
a
Ship
,
one
gouerner
.
And
Rome
could
not
suffer
two
brethren
to
raign
together
,
but
by
the
effusion
of
the
bloud
of
the
one
the
other
tooke
place
.
Likewise
in
the
wombe
of
Rebecca
,
the
two
brethren
Iacob
and
Esau
coulde
not
accord
,
but
fought
together
.
S.
Ambrose
in
his
Hexameron
,
setteth
out
more
at
large
this
which
S.
Ierome
hath
sayde
briefly
.
The
Cranes
(
sayeth
hée
)
choose
themselues
one
head
or
Captaine
,
and
follow
after
him
in
the
rearewarde
:
they
doe
appoynt
certayne
which
by
their
crying
shal
stay
the
whole
troup
:
they
watch
by
course
,
¶
The
second
Chapter
.
Howe
that
the
first
beginning
of
Kings
and
Princes
is
very
auncient
,
and
that
immediatly
after
the
creation
of
the
Worlde
,
the
people
beganne
to
choose
and
elect
Kings
and
Princes
.
MEN
being
guided
by
nature
,
instructed
by
reason
,
and
lead
by
deuine
inspiration
,
did
elect
and
choose
Kings
and
Princes
shortely
after
the
creation
of
the
Worlde
,
to
the
ende
to
lead
and
continue
the
state

wyth

Genesis
.
1.
For
wée
reade
that
Caine
after
the
murthering
of
his
brother
builded
a
Citie
and
called
it
Enoch
,
after
the
name
of
his
sonne
,
in
the
which
as
it
is
like
to
bée
true
,
hée
ordained
one
chéefe
and
Prince
,
who
had
the
whole
gouernement
of
the
Empire
,
yet
it
may
bée
that
hée
was
not
called
,
a
King
,
for
that
suche
name
was
not
then
in
vse
.
But
for
as
much
as
wée
haue
no
certaine
testimonie
by
the
Scriptures
,
that
Caine
did
institute
any
King
in
his
Citie
,
it
shall
bée
necessarie
for
vs
to
examine
and
serch
out
more
diligently
,
Assirians
,
S●●●heans
,
Scipio
Affricanus
,
Iesus
Christ
,
whose
wil
was
to
be
knowne
at
that
time
,
when
the
vniuersall
computation
of
the
world
was
made
by
Augustus
,
to
the
ende
that
his
parents
should
pay
tribute
,
and
that
they
should
acknowledge
the
earthly
Princes
for
their
superiors
.
S.
Mathew
doth
write
the
like
of
Iesus
Christ
,
¶
The
third
Chapter
.
What
the
Dignitie
Royall
is
,
and
how
the
same
cannot
be
supplied
without
great
trouble
and
danger
:
with
a
declaration
what
kinde
of
gouernement
is
best
for
the
people
to
liue
happily
and
quietly
.
BY
these
things
before
rehersed
,
wée
haue
declared
and
prooued
,
that
the
preheminence
and
Dignitie
Royall
is
maruellous
auncient
,
and
that
it
was
receyued
of
the
people
euen
at
the
beginning
of
the
world
,
and
afterward
approoued
,
authorised
&
confirmed
by
the
testimonie
of
the
olde
&
newe
Testamentes
:
and
that
the
same
also
dooth
agrée
and
accord
in
many
things
with
the
Celestiall
Kingdome
,
Dionisius
Siracusianus
,
Eufrates
,
Othanes
,
Herminius
,
Polidonius
,
and
many
other
haue
giuen
place
to
this
maner
of
Gouernement
,
and
iudged
it
the
most
profitablest
way
for
the
conseruation
of
humaine
societie
.
But
although
this
opinion
hath
outwardely
some
goodly
apparance
,
Eustacius
Pamphilius
chéef
Prelat
of
Antioch
,
that
was
bannished
bicause
he
woulde
not
consent
to
the
heresie
of
the
Arrians
.
Pope
Benedict
the
fifth
was
by
the
Emperor
Anthonius
bannished
oute
of
Rome
for
the
like
matter
.
Moyses
did
oftentimes
escape
the
danger
of
stoning
by
his
own
people
.
And
to
be
shorte
,
we
haue
many
examples
that
giue
vs
sufficient
witnesse
and
testimonie
,
how
perillous
the
furie
of
the
people
is
when
they
be
out
of
order
:
by
the
which
things
it
is
most
manifest
vnto
vs
that
the
Commonwelth
which
is
gouerned
by
such
monsters
be
no
more
assured
of
themselues
than
the
poore
shéepe
bée
amongst
the
wolues
.
Hauing
nowe
verie
sufficiently
declared
that
these
first
two
kinds
of
administrations
of
a
Common
wealth
,
are
not
méete
nor
conuenient
to
rule
and
well
to
gouerne
any
people
in
peace
and
tranquillitie
:
Aristotle
,
Apolonius
,
S.
Ierome
,
S.
Cyprian
and
many
others
,
that
the
Monarchia
which
is
the
gouernment
that
is
absolute
,
that
is
to
say
,
by
one
only
King
or
Prince
,
is
the
most
excellent
,
the
best
approued
and
most
receyued
of
all
:
for
as
Homere
Asa
,
Iosaphat
,

,

,
and

,
which
haue
continued
in
vertue
and
goodnesse

As
touching
of

shalte
finde

all
imbrued
with

,
and
tyrannies
,
and
that
so
many
,
that
the
euell
Princes
haue
muche
surpassed
the
vertuous
and
good
.
And
if
thou
bée
desirous

,
¶
The
fourth
Chapter
.
Howe
that
those
which

commaund

,
ought
first
to
master
them selues
,
and
so
suppresse
and
moderate
their
affections
&
passions
,
that
by
their
good
liues
,
they
may
induce
those
that

subiect

them
,
to
vertue

sufficiently
proued

consolation
of

verses

I
do

in

would
the
better
confirme
the
grace
of
the
Authour
,
who
hath
a
better
apparance
thus
,
than
in
prose
.
He
that
desires
to
be
esteemed
and
had
in
greate
renowne
,
His
carnall
minde
must
still
subdewe
,
and
wanton
lustes
beate
downe
:
For
thoughe
his
power
extende
so
farre
,
as
vnto
INDIA
lande
,
And
of
his
lawes
,
(
as
they
are
bounde
)
They
still
in
awe
doe
stande

And
that
the
farthest
ile

by
sea
,
which
THILE
hath
to
name
,
Should
vnder
his
subiection
be
,
and
he

same
,
Jf
he
can
not
his
vice
represse
,
and
wicked
thoughtes
restraine
,
Hee
hath
no
power
on
himselfe
,
nor
might
in

raigne

Thou
shalt
of
thy selfe
a
greater
conquest
make
,
To
subdue
thy
flesh
,
and
lustes
therof
forsake
,
Than
if
by
all
thy
mightie
force

Thou
shouldest
of

Emperor

If

flee
from
the
rage
Of
cruell
will
,
and
so
then
keepe
thee
free
From
the
foule
yoke
of
sensuall
bondage
:
For
though
thine
Empire

And
for

If

Jf
to
be
noble
and
high

bee
mooued
,
Consider
well
the
grounde
and

For
he
that
hath
in
heauen
eche
Starre
fixed
,
And
giues
the
Moone
hir
hornes
and
eclipsing
,
Hath
also
made
thee
most
noble

working
,
So
that
wretched
no
way
may
thou
bee
,
Except
foule
lust
and
vice
do
conquere
thee
.
Thy
rebellious
hart
therefore
subdue
,
Suppresse
the
vain
passions
of
thy
minde
,
Pull
vp
vice
by
the
roote
,
thy
harte
renue
,
So
shalt
thou
great
rest
and
quietnesse
finde
,
And
let
not
that
euill
thought
possesse
thy
minde
,
Bicause
thou
arte
a
Prince
and
Gouernour
,
That
the
Lawe
of
thee
should
haue
no
power

Plutarch
the
most
excellent
Philosopher
,
Rome
Traianus
(
borne
in

)
in
whose
time
the
Romaine
Empire
was
of
greater
possession
than
it
had
béen
euer
before
,
or
hath
béen
since
:
fearing
that

Emperor
should
fall
into

vice
,
and
might
therby
something
staine
and
blemishe
the
excellencie
of

sent
him

conteyned

which

The
fifth
Chapter
.
How
that
if
the
Prince
desire
to
haue
his
Common
welth
to
be
wel
gouerned
,
it
is
moste
meetest
and
necessarie
,
that
he
him selfe
obey
and
obserue
the
lawes
,
that
by
his
good
examples
he
may
teache
the
vulgare
and
common
people
to
do
the
like
,
and
liue
in
feare
and
obedience
towardes
him
.
IF
the
Prince
doe
desire
to
haue
the
common
welth
wel
ruled
and
gouerned
,
it
is
necessarie
that
he
render
himself
obedient
and
subiect
,
aswell
to
his
owne
propre
lawes
,
Augustus
Cesar
Emperor
of
Rome
,
Zeleucus
gaue
lawe
to

Subiectes

,
That
taken
in

who
should
be

Should
loose
his
eyes
:
but
loe
,
such
happe
did
fall
,
The
Kings
owne
sonne
,
into
that
snare
came
he
:
Zelencus
bids
that
lawe
be
done
straight
way
,
Without
regarde
:
The
people
pardon
pray
:
The
King
that
woulde
his
lawe
in
force
to
ronne
,
One
eye
from
him
,
another
from
his
sonne
,
He
takes
,
deseruing
thus
the
rather
,
Name
of
iust
Iudge
,
and
pitifull
Father
.
And
Licurgus
the
lawmaker
to
the
Lacedemonians
(
so
much
commended
in
the
hystories
)
neuer
made
any
lawe
,
wherevnto
he
did
not
first
render
himself
obedient

And
Agesilaus
king
of
the
Lacedemonians
likewise
,
among
his
most
commendable
Sentences
,
was
accustomed
to
say
that
he
desired
no
other
commoditie
of
his
kingdome
,
but
wholly
the
aduauncement
of
his
commmon
welth
,
and
that
it
séemed
(
to
his
iudgement
)
more
profitable
for
the
same
to
be
ruled
and
gouerned
by
good
and
holesome
lawes
,
than
by
good
Princes
:
bycause
Kings
being
ouercome
by
their
affections
,
may
erre
and
goe
astray
as
wel
as
others
,
of
whose
doings
the
lawes
wil
take
smal
place
:
And
it
is
most
certain
(
as
the
deuine
Plato
saith
)
that
as
the
Prince
is
,
such
is
the
people
:
Eccle.

.
who
is
as
it
were
a
Theatre
and
glas
that
al
the
world
should
behold
,
or
as
common
fountaine
wherat
al
the
world
should
drawe
water
:
or
as
a
lampe
that
should
giue
lighte
to
al
men
.
But
to
th
end
that
we
shuld
not
séeme
to
speake
these
things
without
authority
,
mark
the
sayings
of
the
wise
man
in
the
Ecclesiastiques
,
who
sayth
:
as
the
Gouernour
of
the
citie
is
,
such
are
the
inhabitants
therof
,
the
foolish
King
shall
loose
his
people
,
and
the
Cytie
shall
be
well
inhabited
when
it
is
gouerned
by
the
wise
,
&
if
we
wil
enter
into
the
secretes
of
the
Scriptures
,
we
shal
finde
that
there
haue
beene
many
wicked
Kings
which
haue
béen
cause
of
the
ruine
&
destruction
of
their
people
.
And
that
this
shal
be
found
true
,
you
may
read
that
Ieroboam
,
king
of
Israel
setting
vp
calues
of
gold
,
did
cal
his
people
from
the
honoring
of
God
,
and
caused
them
to
commit
Idolatrie
,
by
meanes
whereof
these
poore
people
became
wicked
,
and
for
the
same
his
wickednesse
his
owne
house
was
pulled
vp
by
the
rootes
,
and
vtterly
made
ruinate
vpon
the
face
of
the
erth
,
4
Kings
cap
25.
as
Achas
,
Manasses
and
Amon
,
by
their
euill
example
caused
the
people
to
commit
Idolatrie
,
and
for
their
execrable
offences
the
Lorde
promised
them
to
diuert
and
ouerthrowe
Ierusalem
,
and
to
sende
grieuous
persecutions
vpon
the
people
of
Israell
,
which
he
did
afterwards
.
Beholde
loe
how
euill
guides
be
as
the
trumpets
that
do
stirre
al
strife
,
and
the
torches
that
do
set
on
fire
the
poore
people
to
all
vice
and
wickednesse
.
And
if
by
chaunce
there
be
any
founde
amongs
the
people
which
are
not
so
far
gone
astray
as
others
bée
,
and
that
will
not
be
induced
to
wickednesse
by
the
euill
conuersation
and
example
of
their
Prince
,
yet
neuerthelesse
perceiuing
their
King
and
Prince
to
be
a
vicious
and
wicked
person
,
they
will
not
giue
him
the
obeysance
and
honor
that
is
due
to
him
:
for
wickednesse
and
sinne
carieth
ordinarily
with
it
this
commoditie
,
it
will
cause
him
that
doth
commit
the
same
to
be
counted
an
abiecte
,
and
to
be
contemned
of
all
men
.
But
to
the
contrarie
,
there
is
neyther
Scepter
,
Diademe
,
Purple
,
or
other
worke
of
Nobilitie
that
shall
make
the
Prince
to
be
more
estéemed
,
and
his
subiectes
to
bée
more
prompt
and
apte
to
obey
him
,
than
the
integritie
of

,
temperature
of

,
and

The

Chapter

Howe
that
a
Prince
for
his
better
perfection
in
the
ordring
and
directing
of
his
life
,
ought
specially
aboue
all
other
things
to
be
learned
and
also
to
haue
continuall
conference
and
Counsel
with
sage
and
wise
men
,
which
shal
be
as
the
sinnewes
and
life
wherby
his
Realme
shal
be
sustained
and

:
wherin
also
is
made

of

EVen
as
we
for
our
part
desire
&
wish
that
the

for
his
better
perfection
shuld
be
endued
with
vertue
and
godlynesse
,
alwayes
embracing
the

as
a

:
So
is
it
expediente
for
him
that
he
be
enriched
&
beutified
with
Lerning
and

,
that
by
the
aide
therof
he
may
be
made
more

And

exercised
himself
in

that

I
wil
reserue

eare
to

Phillip
his

being
in

ther
came
a
certaine
man
before

which
had
a
plée

called

hée
not

withall
hymselfe
deceyued
in
the
Iudgement
thereof
,
(
knowing
also
the
great
wisedome
of
Phillip
)
was
greatly
astonied
and
sayd
:
I
doo
appeale
from
this
youre
Sentence
(
noble
Emperour
)
wherewith
the
Emperour
entring
into
choller
,
Plutarque
vppon
his
life
.
The
Kings
of
the
Persians
did
alwayes
iudge
the
causes
of
the
people
.
Excellent
men
.
dyd
wynne
suche
glorie
to
those
aunciente
Emperours
and
Kings
,
and
dyd
so
beautyfie
them
,
that
the
Persians
woulde
not
receiue
any
King
to
raigne
ouer
them
,
that
did
disdayne
to
sit
in
Iudgement
,
as
Philarcus
hath
wrytten
in
Theneus
.
And
Hesiodus
an
auncyent
Gréeke
Poet
writing
of
those
things
,
sayth
,
that
there
is
thrée
manner
of
people
in
this
worlde
,
of
the
which
one
sorte
of
them
are
indued
with
good
wit
and
vnderstanding
,
and
are
able
of
themselues
to
imbrace
the
good
and
lawefull
things
,
dispose
the
present
,
and
foresee
thyngs
to
come
,
without
any
instruction
of
others
:
and
these
sorte
of
people
do
kéepe
the
firste
place
in
perfection
,
and
are
counted
most
excellent
amongst
men
.
The
seconde
kynde
of
men
are
of
a
more
weaker
and
debile
nature
,
and
not
of
so
subtil
a
spryte
as
the
others
,
nor
are
not
able
to
gyue
iudgement
of
any
thing
of
themselues
,
but
the
mettal
of
them
is
very
good
&
plyable
,
&
they
haue
discretion
to
obey
the
good
counsel
of
others
,
Marcus
Anthonius
,
in
Egipt
,
woulde
not
destroy
Alexandria
,
one
of
the
most
famous
cities
in
the
world
,
and
when
his
fréends
demaunded
of
him
,
wherfore
he
forbare
to
destroy
the
same
,
for
two
causes
(
sayde
he
)
the
one
bicause
Alexander
did
builde
it
,
&
the
other
for
the
loue
of
the
Philosopher
Arrie
which
was
there
:
this
Emperor
was
so
affected
towards
good
letters
,
that
he
made
Cornelius
Gallus
Trybune
of
the
people
,
only
for
that
he
was
an
eloquent
Poet.
Arianus
for
a
certaine
historie
which
hée
wrote
of
the
gestes
of
Alexander
,
was
created
Consul
by
the
Emperor
Adrian
.
Anthonius
Suetonus
writeth
a
thing
almost
incredible
in
the
life
of
Vespasianus
,
that
although
he
was
a
man
all
ouercome
with
Couetousnesse
,
yet
he
fauored
Arts
&
Sciences
so
much
,
that
he
gaue
to
the
master
of
euery
schole
yeerly
a
thousande
&
fiue
hundred
Crounes
.
Atheneus
wryteth
in
hys
booke
Synosophistes
,
that
Aristotle
for
hys
booke
that
he
wrote
of
the
nature
of
beasts
had
of
Alexander
viij
.
hundred
Tallents
of
gold
which
were
worth
(
after
the
computation
of
Bede
in
the
book
of
Asse
)
foure
hundred
&
fourscore
thousand
Crounes
,
which
Plinie
doth
confirme
,
in
saying
,
that
Alexander
vppon
a
feruent
desire
he
had
to
sée
the
same
booke
ended
,
sent
many
thousandes
of
men
through
out
al
Greece
,
Asia
and
Affrike
,
with
expresse
commaundement
that
al
men
shold
obey
them
in
al
those
things
that
they
desired
touching
fouling
,
We
finde
further
that
the
auncient
Princes
haue
not
ben
contented
onely
to
honour
them
lyuing
,
but
also
after
their
death
:
For
Ptholomeus
king
of
Egipt
builded
a
Church
and
a
Piller
in
the
honor
of
Homer
,
as
if
it
had
bene
to
the
Gods.
And
also
we
reade
in
the
Greeke
histories
,
Aulus
Gelius
write
,
that
Alexander
in
his
conquest
in
Asia
being
aduertised
that
Aristotle
had
published
and
put
forth
certaine
bookes
of
Naturall
Philosophy
(
that
he
had
learned
vnder
the
sayd
Aristotle
)
wrote
a
letter
vnto
him
full
of
checkes
,
Diogenes
Laertius
writeth
,
that

the
commoditie
of

and
how
much
it
was
requisit
for
the
gouernment
of

and
knowing
also

to
be
of
great
renowne
amongst
the
Philosophers
of
the
sect
of

Stoikes
,
Diogenes
Laertius
:

thou
shalt

that
the
goodnesse

that
I
shall
receiue

shall
not
be
for
the
profite

commoditie
of

famous
Captaines
vpon
the
earth
,
who
had
bookes
as
familiar
with
him
,
as
armour
,
and
would
as
sone
giue
him selfe
to
reade
as
to
armes
:
who
alwayes
assoone
as
he
had
satisfied
hys
actes
in
armes
,
he
woulde
disarme
him selfe
,
and
go
talke
with
the
Poetes
and
Philosophers
,
and
alwayes
in
hys
iourneyes
he
eyther
wryt
,
or
els
dyd
reade
some
booke
.
The
Historians
write
of
him
one
noble
thing
worthy
of
perpetuall
memory
:
Themistocles
Greekes
.
Epamynondas
likewise
which
was
an
other
of
the
most
excellent
captaynes
of
the
sayd
Greekes
was
euer
studious
and
geuen
to
learning
.
And
Methridates
,
Paulus
Emilius
.
yeares
warred
agaynst
the
Romans
did
not
at
any
time
abandon
learning
,
but
had
alwayes
wyth
hym
certaine
Philosophers
and
Orators
,
with
whom
he
dyd
alwaies
communicate
his
studies
.
Paulus
Emilius
also
conqueror
of
the
king
of
the
Persians
was
a
man
much
giuen
to
study
,
and
was
so
zealous
towardes
the
Athenians
that
hée
gaue
vnto
them
Metrodorus
for
to
instruct
their
Chyldren
,
and
he
himselfe
not
contented
to
spende
all
his
whole
life
in
learning
,
but
to
the
ende
he
would
giue
a
testimonye
to
his
posteritie
,
how
he
had
spent
his
lyfe
,
did
write
manye
profitable
bookes
for
the
world
to
come
:
Quintus
Fabius
the
great
,
Marcus
Brutus
,
Traianus
,
Adrianus
,
Marcus
Antonius
,
Marcus
Aurelius
,
Alcybiades
,
Scipio
,
Affricanus
,
Lucius
Brutus
,
and
manye
other
Romaynes
and
Greekes
verye
noble
in
armes
,
and
great
louers
of
learning
did
the
like
.
And
Haniball
likewise
a
most
excellent
captaine
,
although
hée
was
of
nature
fierce
,
sauage
,
and
greatly
estraunged
from
al
humanitie
,
vnfaithfull
,
and
hated
of
God
and
man
,
yet
hée
had
alwaies
the
Greeke
and
the
Latin
tong
in
such
estimation
that
he
left
vnto
vs
a
booke
in
the
Greeke
tong
written
with
hys
own
hand
.
And
Alphonsus
king
of
Castel
,
a
most
noble
and
learned
Prince
,
was
so
wel
exercised
in
the
science
of
Astronomy
,
that
euen
at
this
day
we
do
taste
of
the
excellencie
of
his
knowledge
.
And
surelye
all
these
noble
men
left
these
monumentes
as
examples
to
their
posteritie
to
follow
.
Therefore
I
thinke
there
is
no
hart
so
faynt
of
feable
,
that
shall
reade
the
famous
déedes
,
actes
and
prowesse
of
so
manye
valiant
and
noble
men
,
but
wyll
be
kyndled
and
styrred
vp
with
an
ardent
desire
to
follow
and
resemble
them
,
and
set
at
nought
this
caducall
lyfe
(
which
is
but
a
moment
)
to
acquire
and
get
this
famous
as
it
were
euerlasting
life
,
1
Kinges
.
3.
whose
actes
after
their
death
haue
made
them
more
glorious
and
shining
than
they
were
before
in
their
life
time
.
Salomon
that
celestiall
Orator
,
declareth
very
well
that
all
thinges
to
him
was
nothing
worth
in
comparison
of
wisedome
&
knowledge
:
For
when
he
had
his
choyse
of
the
Lord
to
demaunde
what
he
would
,
he
asked
of
him
wisdome
to
iudge
his
people
,
and
to
discerne
the
good
from
the
euyll
,
which
he
obtayned
in
such
aboundance
,
that
he
passed
al
the
Kinges
vpon
the
earth
,
as
well
in
wisedome
,
as
in
discretion
to
iudge
and
gouerne
his
Subiectes
,
and
in
such
sort
,
But
now
if
we
cannot
perswade
our
Princes
and
Kinges
by
these
so
many
examples
of
such
a
number
of
Emperours
,
Kinges
and
Monarches
,
S.
Paule
also
to
the
Romanes
writeth
,
that
we
must
take
good
héede
we
thinke
not
our selues
wyse
in
our
own
conceites
.
Alexander
vpon
a
time
receiued
letters
(
being
in
Asia
)
from
hys
Mother
,
whom
he
had
left
as
Regent
in
his
kingdome
,
wherein
she
did
signifie
vnto
hym
certayne
treasons
that
one
had
deuised
agaynst
hym
.
Assoone
as
he
had
read
them
,
he
gaue
them
to
Ephesteon
,
and
when
he
had
perused
them
ouer
,
Alexander
tooke
of
a
Ryng
from
hys
finger
wherein
was
his
Seale
,
and
incontinentlye
sealed
vp
the
mouth
of
Ephesteon
,
declaring
thereby
that
he
should
kéepe
secrete
the
contentes
thereof
,
We
haue
also
a
notable
and
straunge
example
of
amity
in
Zopirus
(
most
affectionated
friend
of
Darius
king
of
the
Persians
)
who
perceiuing
that
the
sayd
Darius
hys
Maister
had
a
long
time
besieged
Babilon
,
without
preuailyng
anye
thing
therein
,
and
that
there
was
litle
hope
of
victorye
:
and
séeing
his
said
Maister
withall
greatlye
tormented
and
afflicted
for
the
destruction
of
his
people
,
The
Babilonians
séeing
him
thus
bemangled
and
cut
,
they
were
the
easier
persuaded
that
he
had
receiued
this
great
iniury
at
Darius
hands
,
and
thought
that
being
thus
confirmed
in
enmitie
toward
Darius
,
The
Romaines
haue
in
their
histories
the
like
example
of
frienship
,
Sextus
Tarquinus
faining
him selfe
to
be
euyll
intreated
at
his
fathers
handes
,
Thys
inuincible
Monarche
had
thys
Gréeke
Poet
in
so
great
a
reuerence
,
that
he
called
hys
Iliades
,
Viaticum
,
a
necessarye
thyng
for
those
that
wyll
exercise
and
followe
the
warres
,
and
serue
as
an
instrument
to
inflame
and
sturre
them
vp
to
magnanimitie
,
bycause
that
the
ruine
of
Troye
,
and
the
prowesse
of
Achilles
,
with
the
commendations
of
a
great
number
of
excellent
Captaynes
bée
so
well
discribed
and
paynted
out
therein
so
to
the
lyfe
,
that
it
wyll
prouoke
suche
as
shall
reade
the
same
to
followe
theyr
doynges
,
whereby
they
shall
consecrate
their
names
to
immortalitie
,
as
these
other
haue
done
.
And
further
he
had
so
well
printed
this
magnanimitie
and
noblenesse
in
his
spirite
,
that
he
commaunded
straightly
all
those
that
had
the
ouersight
of
his
Prouinces
,
that
they
shuld
not
suffer
any
man
that
professed
learning
,
to
enterprise
to
write
or
set
forth
his
gestes
and
prayses
in
their
woorkes
:
doubting
that
some
one
would
take
the
matter
in
hand
that
was
not
sufficiently
learned
,
But
to
the
end
we
wyll
not
go
farre
from
our
first
matter
,
which
was
to
entreate
how
requisite
councell
is
to
those
that
doo
commaund
others
,
Homer
(
the
worthiest
man
among
the
Greekes
)
did
very
well
confirme
,
when
he
sayde
that
Agamemnon
the
King
and
chiefe
Captaine
against
the
Troians
,
Phillip
of
Macedonia
,
father
to
Alexander
,
did
so
muche
bewaile
the
death
of
a
deare
friend
of
his
called
Hipparcus
,
that
he
was
almost
dead
with
care
.
And
when
his
friendes
did
séeke
to
comfort
him
,
and
to
put
him
out
of
his
minde
,
alledging
that
it
was
time
for
him
to
dye
,
considering
his
many
yeares
,
and
that
death
was
more
necessary
for
him
than
lyfe
(
if
he
had
good
regard
of
his
old
age
)
it
is
true
said
he
,
but
certainly
it
is
great
griefe
to
me
that
I
haue
not
recompensed
his
wholesome
councels
and
the
long
and
paynfull
seruices
which
I
haue
receiued
of
him
in
tymes
past
:
wherefore
perceiuing
very
well
I
cannot
now
acquite
the
same
,
thys
my
vnthankefulnesse
shall
be
a
burthen
to
me
and
my
honour
for
euer
.
Moyses
the
great
lawe
geuer
to
the
Hebrewes
,
Romulus
the
first
founder
of
Rome
,
knowing
how
difficult
a
thyng
it
was
to
rule
the
common
wealth
,
he
ordayned
an
hundred
Senatours
,
of
the
most
wyse
and
auncient
men
of
Rome
,
to
helpe
hym
in
the
administration
of
hys
common
wealth
.
Let
therefore
Kynges
and
Princes
take
it
for
a
certayne
truthe
,
that
for
the
conseruation
of
theyr
mightynesse
,
and
the
preseruation
of
their
Realmes
,
they
must
aboue
all
thynges
deliberate
and
moderate
all
theyr
doynges
and
enterprises
wyth
counsell
and
good
aduise
,
not
runnyng
headlong
thereunto
wythout
all

and

.
For
there
is
nothing
more
enimy
to
Veritye
,
Iustice
,
and
Equitie

than
ouermuche
rashnesse

Quintus
Curtius
in
the
lyfe
of
Alexander

recount
,
that

vpon

Which

Plato
in

sayth
,
that

Aristotle
in
a
certaine
place
demaunding
a
reason
wherfore
olde
men
bee
commonlye
more
fearefull
,
Titus
Linius
Prince
of
the
Latine
Historians
doth
write
,
that
when
the
Romaines
had
determined
their
punike
warres
,
Macha
.
5.
they
chose
the
most
auncient
of
the
people
to
make
their
Legates
and
Embassadors
into
Affrique
.
And
it
is
written
in
the
booke
of
the
Machabees
that
King
Antiochus
sent
an
auncient
man
of
Antioche
to
conuert
them
to
their
law
.
And
this
thing
was
had
in
vse
and
obserued
immediately
after
the
beginning
of
the
world
by
Abraham
,
who
did
send
into
Mesopotamia
the
most
auncient
of
his
Seruauntes

to
entreate
of
the

as
it
is

Dennis

wryteth
likewise
,
that

,
chose
out
of

The
auncient
Romaines
in
the
election
of

Magistrates
,
did
alwayes
preferre
the
most

.
Solon
the
lawmaker
of
the
Atheniens
did
forbid

to
receiue
any
young

And
Cicero
in
his
booke
De
Senectute
writeth
,
that
they
did
vse
the
like
in

in
the
Ile
of

they
do
not
choose
their
kings
of
the
ofspringes
of
Nobilitie
(
as
we
do
accustome
)
but
they
choose
him
for
their
Prince
that
is
most
auncient
,
wyse
,
and
sage
.
The
Arrabians
likewise
,
assoone
as
their
King
is
dead
,
they
choose
the
most
auncient
men
to

Prouince

as
writeth
Diodorus

Iulius
Frontinus
writeth
also
that
L.

did
wishe
for

publike
profite

commodite
that
Emperors

the
chiefe
of

Philostrates
in
the
life
of
Pelonius
writeth
that
Vespasianus
beyng
of
the
age
of

yeares
,
did
excuse
himselfe
(
when
he
was
chosen
to
receiue
the
gouernment
of
the
Empire
)
and
sayd
he
was
euer
yong
,
thinking
that
his
yeares
were
not
sufficient
to
execute
so
great
a
charge
.
And
is
it
not
written
in
the
Ecclesi●stes
that
cursed
is
that
land
that
hath
a
Child
to
their
king
?
and
amongest
other
threatnings
that
the
Lord
sendeth
by
Esay
to

he
promiseth
to
giue
them
yong

as
though
he
would
say
,
I
wyll

Fulconius
Nicomachus
made
a
continuall
prayer
to
his
Gods
,
wherin
he
prayed
them
that
they
would
defend
the
land
from
a
yong
king
.
And
it
is
a
maruelous
and
straunge
thing
to
behold
that
brute
beastes

euen
by
the
prouidence
of
Nature
,
will
rather
obey
to
the
old

Age
honored

than
to
the
yong
,
as
Pliny
a

searcher
of

properties
of

,
doth
witnesse
to

he
sayth
,
that
amongest

Elelephantes
that
most
auncient
doo
guide
and
leade
the
troupe
,
and
the
other
go
after
,
&
acknowledge
them
for
their
heades
and
chiefe
.
Aelianus
the
Greeke
Historian
writeth
likewyse
that
the
little
Antes
going
into

to
make
their
prouisions
for

,
suffer
the
moste
auncient
to

and
are
contented
to
be
guided

aduise
.
Now
the
Prince

thus
instructed
by
such
a
number
of
histories
(

in
what
reuerence

and
that

it

that

not

to

it
was
sayde
his

not

,
who
answered
he

sufficient
if

would
dispence

,
as
he
made
it
very
well
to
be

afterwards
:
for
where

is
liuely

,
the

Chapter

Howe
that
Kings
and
Princes
ought
chiefly
and
moste
principally
to
haue
the
estate
of
christian
Religion
in
great
reuerence
and
estimation
,
and
to
shewe
themselues
louers
of
the
same
:
and
that
they
ought
also
to
be
very
diligent
and
carefull
to
punishe
the
blasphemers
and
contemners
therof
,
and
withal
to
purge
their
dominions
and
realmes
of
al
heretikes
and
Sectaries
:
for
the
which
there
is
shewed
many
examples
of
erronious
sects
,
together
with
the
false
doctrine
of
Mahomet
,
his
life
and
death
,
and
by
what
means
and
suttletie
hee
hath
suborned
and
seduced
so
many
people
,
and
how
many
Emperors
,
kings
&
princes
,
after
they
had
persecuted
the
faithefull
of
the
Churche
of
God
,
did
not
escape
the
sharpe
vengeance
of
his
wrath
,
but
dyed
in
the
end
of
some
shamefull
and
horrible
death
.
WE
haue
here
in
this
laste
Chapter
intreated
generally
of
such
vertues
as
are
méete
and
conuenable
for
Princes
,
for
the
worthy
gouernments
of
their
realmes
and

:
and
now
we
will
speake

you

authoritie

(

Daniell

chaungeth

putteth

Receiue

learned
,
you
that
iudge
the
earth
,
serue
the
Lorde
in

,
least
he
be
wroth
,
for
he
will
looke
vpon
your
dooings
,
and
will
searche
your
thoughts
,
bycause
that
you
(
being
ministers
of
hys

)
haue
not
iudged
rightly
and
iustly
,
nor
haue
not
regarded
the
lawe
of

,
nor
haue
not
walked

He
shal
therfore
appeare

The
kingdomes
of
Israell
did
alwayes
prosper
very
well
as
long
as
they
were
gouerned
by
good
and
vertuouse
Princes
,
as
Dauid
,
Iosaphat
,
Ezechiel
,
and
Iosias
,
who
had
alwayes
the
feare
of
God
before
their
eyes
:
but
to
the
contrary
,
vnder
Achab
,
Manasses
,
Ammon
and
other
such
wicked
idolaters
,
and
contemners
of
true
religion
,
they
were
always
tormented
and
afflicted
,
and
in
the
ende
vtterly
ouerthrowne
.
For
during
the
tyme
that
Salomon
walked
in
the
wayes
of
the
Lorde
,
he
possessed
his
kingdom
in
tranquillitie
:
but
after
that
he
had
buylded
temples
to
Idols
,
all
the
worlde
was
agaynst
him
.
It
is
mans
duetie
,
and
most
chiefly
required
at
the
handes
of
Princes
,
to
haue
the
house
of
the
pure
and
sacred
places
in
remembraunce
:
And
specially
those
that
are
without
reliefe
,
decayed
and
become
almoste

continuaunce
of
tyme
,
according
to
the
example
of
that
good
prince
Dauid
,
who
spdéeily
and
with
al
diligence
reedified
the
tabernacle
,
and
his
sonne
Salomon
(
with
a
maruellous
magnificence
)
the
Temple
of
the
Lord
.
Zorobabel
was
greatly
commended
bycause
that
(
after
from
the
captiuitie
of
Babylon
by

ayde
of

)
he

haue
we
in

,
of
the
allyance
that

haue
made
with

King
Nabuchodonosor
who
of
an
abhominable
tyraunte
was
becomme
the
disciple
of
Danyell
,
did
ordeyne
that
yf
any
Nation
or
people
did
blaspheme
the
name
of
the
God
of
Danyell
,
that
he
shoulde
be

,

,

and

who
dyd

blasphemers
:
and
amongst
all
others
that
good
king
Loys
,
S.
Paule
writeth
doth
so
bleare
their
eyes
,
and
so
shut
vp
their
minds
,
that
hauing
their
eyes
open
,
they
sée
not
,
and
in
hearing
they
heare
not
.
And
this
procedeth
of
the
furiouse
rage
of
the
Deuill
who
stirreth
them
vp
ageinst
God
and
the
ministers
of
his
worde
.
And
such
troublers
and
persecuters
of
the
Churche
haue
begon
and
endured
euen
from
the
time
that
Iesus
Christ
(
our
redemer
)
ascended
into
Heauen
,
vntill
the
tyme
of
the
emperor
Constantine
the
great
,
which
continued

300.
yeres
,
during
which
time
the
poore
church
was
maruelously
afflicted
and
troubled
:
as
vnder
the
gouernement
of
Nero
,
Domitianus
,
Traianus
,
Adrianus
,
Anthonius
Seuerus
,
and
Diocletianus
.
For
alwayes
when
it
was
thought
the
Churche
to
be
in
most
best
peace
and
tranquilitie
,
Arrians
,
Pelagians
,
Manichees
,
Eunomyens
,
Macedoniens
,
Nestorians
,
Eutychiens
,
and
many
others
béeganne
to
spring
vp
to
so
greate
a
hinderaunce
and
decaye
of
the
Christian
common
welth
,
that
the
woundes
thereof
hathe
well
appeared
too
all
the
posteritie
folowyng
:
and
not
staying
at
all
these
persecutions
,
but
euen
then
that
false
Prophet
Mahomet
(
most
wicked
of
all
others
,
)
béeganne
to
exalte
himselfe
,
who
by
his
cruell
malyce
hath
infected
the
moste
part
of
the
earth
.
And
for
as
muche
as
his
beginning
is
recounted
sundry
wayes
by
many
Aucthours
,
(
too
the
end
I
would
giue
some
pleasure
too
the
Reader
,
and
to
satysfie
the
requeste
of
a
Gentlemanne
,
a
fréende
of
myne
,
and
for
as
muche
also
as
iuste
occasyon
is
nowe
offered
,
)
I
will
faythfully
and
truely
rehearse
that
whyche
I
haue
redde
as
well
in
his
Alk●ron
as
in
other
auncient
authours
,
and
some
others
that
of
late
haue
written
any
thing
of
his
lyfe
.
And
bycause
that
no
man
shal
think
that
I
do
write
here
vppon
the
reporte
or
credyte
of
others
,
or
that
I
haue
heerevnto
added
or
diminished
any
thing
,
after
myne
owne
fantasye
or
deuyse
,
I
wyll
gyue
the
Reader
to
vnderstand
,
what
Aucthours
I
haue
chiefly
followed
in
this
treatise
,
to
the
end
,
that
yf
he
bée
desyrous
to
haue
a
more
full
or
ample
Discourse
hereof
,
I
wil
send
hym
to
Aeneas
Syluius
,
otherwyse
called
Pope
I●●us
,
Pomponius
Latus
in
the
abridgement
of
the
Romain
historie
.
Platina
in
the
life
of
the
popes
,
Blondus
in
hys
booke
of
the
fall
of
the
Empire
of
Rome
,
Nauclerus
,
Baptist
Egnatius
,
in
his
abridgement
of
the
emperours
,
Paulus
Iouius
,
Lodouicus
Viues
,
in
a
certeine
treatise
of
his
,
the
Alcoran
it selfe
of
Mahomet
,
and
also
Alcimadus
his
interpreter
,
vppon
Caalay
,
which
he
commended
vppon
A.
Berosus
,
vpon
Cyar
of
the
acts
of
Mahomet
,
Hayn
,
Moymu
,
Mustlin
.
And
if
he
be
not
satisfied
with
al
these
ancient
authours
,
I
haue
hereunto
adioyned
the
testimonie
of
those
,
which
haue
bin
of
late
dayes
in
Turky
,
and
haue
had
the
experience
and
proof
of
al
these
matters
,
as
Petrus
Belon
,
who
diligently
hath
written
all
things
which
he
obserued
in
that
his
iorney
.
And
Bartholomeus
,
Georgieniso
,
who
continued
there
the
space
of
nine
or
ten
yeres
,
and
was
sold
and
boughte
there
fiue
or
six
times
,
hath
written
vnto
vs
all
his
whole
vyage
:
whose
testimonies
I
will
here
remember
chiefly
for
two
causes
:
the
one
is
,
for
that
I
might
assure
the
reader
,
that
in
this
little
discourse
which
I
do
here
present
vnto
him
,
he
shall
find
the
perfect
summarie
of
all
that
any
others
haue
written
before
.
The
other
cause
is
,
wholly
to
extinguish
and
take
away
the
greate
desire
that
many
haue
to
reade
the
sayd
Alcoran
,
in
which
they
suppose
to
finde
some
greate
,
straunge
,
and
maruelous
matter
:
but
assuredly
they
are
farre
deceiued
of
their
accompte
,
for
in
reading
thereof
,
they
shall
finde
no
kind
of
pleasure
at
all
,
nor
no
phrase
,
or
propertie
of
words
well
vsed
,
but
rather
a
disordered
stile
,
without
sappe
or
sauoure
,
or
any
sentence
or
other
matter
else
therin
that
might
delight
or
content
the
readers
,
but
is
filled
with
an
infinite
number
of
lies
,
contradictions
,
and
blasphemies
,
and
that
so
horrible
that
amongst
all
the
things
that
euer
haue
bin
red
or
heard
,
Persia
,
Syria
,
Palestine
and
to
Cayre
,
and
into
many
other
countreis
with
a
certein
marchaunt
(
who
being
dead
)
he
tooke
in
mariage
his
wife
,
&
had
.iiij.
children
by
hir
:
after
,
when
he
was
at
the
age
of
xxx
.
yeares
he
vsed
euery
day
to
go
into
a
caue
,
and
there
kepte
such
a
maruelouse
abstinence
,
that
he
became
therewithall
,
euen
almost
madde
,
with
ouermuch
fasting
:
and
(
as
some
men
write
)
beeing
in
this
caue
,
he
commoned
with
certeyn
wicked
spirites
.
And
one
day
béeing
as
a
man
desperate
,
The
Turkes
also
wryte
in
the
abouesayde
Asear
,
that
Mahomet
béeing
then
foure
yeares
olde
,
woulde
dayely
goe
a
Fishing
with
little
children
:
and
once
béeing
alone
in
a
field
by
himselfe
,
the
angel
Gabriel
apparelled
all
in
white
appéered
vnto
hym
in
the
forme
of
a
man
,
who
takyng
him
by
the
hande
,
withdrewe
him
asyde
,
and
with
a
sharpe
and
fyne
edged
rasour
opened
his
breast
,
and
tooke
out
his
harte
,
oute
of
the
whiche
hee
also
tooke
a
certaine
blacke
spotte
of
bloud
,
The
seconde
,
that
he
should
be
the
most
famous
Gentleman
of
all
others
the
children
of
Adam
.
The
third
,
that
he
shold
haue
authoritie
to
pardon
all
sinnes
.
The
fourth
that
he
should
be
skilfull
in
all
languages
.
The
fifth
,
that
all
spoyles
in
warres
shoulde
be
giuen
to
him
.
This
done
,
he
returned
to
the
angel
Gabriell
in
the
place
where
he
before
had
left
him
,
who
led
him
further
to
beholde
,
in
what
sorte
the
féendes
tormented
the
damned
soules
in
Hell.
It
resteth
now
that
I
let
you
vnderstand
by
what
means
hée
inchaunted
and
bewitcht
so
many
,
to
giue
credite
to
his
prodigious
trumperies
.
Some
there
are
that
haue
reported
of
him
,
that
knowing
certainly
by
often
reading
the
Olde
Testament
,
that
when
the
lawe
was
giuen
to
Moyses
in
the
mount
Sinay
,
there
were
seene
many
signes
,
as
thunders
,
lightnings
,
and
suche
lyke
,
as
it
is
written
in
Leuiticus
the
.xix.
Euen
so
he
desiring
with
some
apishe
deuise
to
counterfeat
his
dooings
,
caused
to
be
hyd
certain
pots
full
of
Mil●e
in
the
earth
,
And
some
other
saye
(
whiche
is
lyke
to
bée
more
true
)
that
Mahomet
did
neuer
miracle
either
true
or
false
:
And
now
let
vs
returne
agein
to
his
Alkaron
,
(
whiche
is
the
booke
wherin
is
conteined
al
his
false
doctrin
)
and
let
vs
sée
what
inuentions
and
policies
he
deuised
to
aucthorise
the
same
.
Firste
to
bring
it
into
some
estimation
,
he
sayde
to
his
wife
,
that
he
dyd
ordynaryly
common
with
the
aungell
Gabriell
,
who
did
shew
him
that
God
had
chosen
him
for
his
Prophet
.
He
was
subiect
to
a
sicknesse
called
Epilepsy
,
in
the
common
tung
the
falling
sicknesse
,
he
was
very
subtil
in
deuising
to
couer
his
infirmitie
:
Arians
,
Eunomyens
,
Sabolliens
,
Cardomēs
,
Manichiens
,
Donatistes
,
Origenistes
,
Anthropomorphites
,
hée
found
an
instrument
of
Mahomet
,
apt
and
well
disposed
to
serue
hym
as
a
trumpet
,
to
spread
abrode
most
affectuosly
their
poyson
throughoute
the
worlde
.
For
he
denyeth
the
Trinitie
with
the
Sabellians
,
the
holy
Ghost
to
be
God
with
the
Macedomens
,
he
proueth
the
plurarity
of
wiues
with
the
Nicholaits
,
with
the
Cardoniens
he
sayeth
,
that
it
was
not
possible
for
God
to
haue
a
son
,
bycause
he
had
no
wife
:
with
the
Manichees
hée
denieth
that
Iesus
Christ
was
crucified
,
with
the
Donatistes
that
the
sacraments
of
the
Church
(
after
the
passion
of
Iesus
Christ
)
had
any
force
,
with
the
Origenistes
he
sayth
the
Diuel
shal
be
saued
,
with
the
Anthropomorphites
,
he
putteth
the
chief
felicitie
in
pleasure
.
This
word
Alcaron
,
Now
after
hauing
thus
described
this
fantasticall
Paradise
,
and
this
Hell
of
Mahomet
,
which
is
so
ridiculous
,
that
in
reading
of
it
thou
shalt
finde
lesse
to
approche
the
truthe
,
than
one
of
the
said
Esopes
Fables
.
It
now
resteth
for
vs
to
shewe
by
what
meanes
he
could
bewitche
so
many
people
,
and
persuade
them
so
well
,
that
they

seeing

so
by
this

he

Afterwardes
he
went
to
assaile
the
Countreys
of

Empire
:
he
entred
into
Syria
,
conquered
the
Noble
Citie
of

,

all

persuading

himself

But
how

,
who
séeking
all

he
could
to
extinguishe
the

not

,
that
the
stinke
that
came
out

did
infecte

Thus
he

to

that

was

according
to

handes

or

force
that
God
hath
giuen
them
for
the
furtherance

:
For
they
haue
receiued
the
administration
of
the
Kingdoms
,
and
the
dignitie
of
their
Crownes
and
scepters
with
suche
charge
.
And
now
for
a
full
conclusion
of
all
our
examples
,
we
wil
adde
one
other
notable
testimonie
of
the
obedience
of
one
Emperour
written
at
large
in
the
Tripartite
historie
,
as
it
was
doone
.
Theodosius
the
great
,
being
aduertized
of
a
certain
emotion
that
was
sprong
vp
amongs
the
Magistrates
and
common
people
of
Thessalonye
,
and
of
the
controuersie
,
that
it
grewe
to
the
destruction
of
some
of
the
Iudges
:
The
Emperour
beeing
aduertized
thereof
,
and
béeing
withall
surpryzed
with
so
great
anger
,
that
hée
could
not
staye
hymselfe
,
withoute
any
further
inquisition
of
the
matter
,
or
order
of

,
dyd
commaunde
that
all
the
Inhabitauntes
there
,
shoulde
bée
put
to
the
swoorde
,
whyche
was
doone
wyth
all
diligence
by
his
menne
of

.
And
by
thys
execution
,
there
dyed
very
néere
seauen
thousande
persones
,
as
well
the
innocente
as

.
Sainct
Ambrose
hauyng
vnderstandyng
of
thys
cruell
slaughter
too
bée
doone
by
the
commaundemente
of
the
Emperoure
Theodosius
,
was
maruellous
sorrowfull
,
and
vpon
a
tyme
as
the
sayde
Emperour
wold
haue
entred
into
the
Church
,
he
came
before
him
,
and
forbad
him
to
enter
,
and
vsing
his
Episcopall
authoritie
,
sayde
vnto
hym
:
Theodosius
dooest
not
thou
remember
the
butcherie
that
thou
haste
caused
too
bée
doone
?
arte
thou
so
blynded
wyth
thys
Imperiall
dignitie
,
that
thou
haste
forgotten
thyne
offence
?
Howe
darest
thou
come
too
béeholde
these
sacred
Mysteries
of
the
Temple
with
thyne
eyes
polluted
by
the
bloude
of
innocentes
?
Doo
penance
for
thyne
offence
,
and
sequester
thy selfe
from
the
Communion
of
the
Faythfull
,
take
héede
how
thou
entrest
intoo
the
Churche
,
and
dooe
then
condemne
thy selfe
,
and
thynke
thy selfe
vnwoorthye
to
enter
amongs
them
:
and
when
thou
hast
wyth
teares
of
the
compunction
of
thy
hearte
,
acknowledged
thyne
offence
,
the
Churche
shall
open
her
bosome
,
and
receyue
thée
as
one
of
hers
.
The
good
Emperoure
hauyng
perceyued
the
intente
of
this
holy
Bishoppe
,
was
greately
moued
in

spyrite

Afterwardes

desyring
to

It
is
not
then
without
good
cause
,
that
the
great
&
heuenly
Philosopher
Iob
(
the
very
example
of
pacience
)
did
lament
the
houre
of
his
natiuitie
,
&
wished
that
he
had
ben
caried
from
his
mothers
womb
to
his
graue
,
in
so
much
that
he
cursed
the
daye
that
he
was
brought
forth
into
this
miserable
world
,
and
the
night
in
which
he
was
conceiued
.
And
that
good
&
holy
prophet
Hieremie
(
sanctified
in
the
womb
of
his
mother
)
did
lament
the
day
of
his
birth
,
desiring
that
the
time
that
his
mother
did
conceiue
him
might
not
be
blissed
,
adding
to
it
afterwards
:
Wherfore
(
said
he
)
am
I
come
out
of
my
mothers
wombe
to
sée
al
this
miserie
&
troubles
?
As
likewise
the
maruellous
oracle
of
wisdom
Salomon
sayth
in

that
the
day
of
his
death
shold
be

It
is
not
red
in

history
that

did
reioys●
at

the
birth

childe

knowing
very
wel
that
our
life
is
but
a
sea
of
misery
and
tribulation
.
Whervppon
that
notable
doctor
S.
Hierom
explicating
vpon
the
passage
of
this
our
life
proueth
by
many
reasons
,
that
those
that
fight
against
the
assaults
of
sin
in

caducall
life
be
in
a
miserable
case
,
in
respect
of
the
felicitie
of
the
dead
,
whiche
are
discharged
therof
.
And
that
famous
Greke
doctour
Origene
vppon
the
exposition
of
these
wordes
:
The
woman
that
hath
conceyued
sede
,
and

ingendred
a

chylde
,
shall
be
vncleane
,
exaggerating
the
calamities
of
our
lyfe
,
wryteth
that
he
neuer
red
in
any
author
,
that
euer
the
Saints
or
any
other
,
that
haue
made
any
profession
of
our
religion
,
did
celebrate
the
day
of
the
natiuitie
with
banket
or
feast
,
or
the
day
of
the
birthe
of
theyr
chyldren
:
but
the
wicked
(
onely
)
did
reioyce
at
the
daye
of
their
natiuitie
,
as
it
is
written
in
the
olde
Testament
,
that
Pharao
king
of
Egipt
did
:
and
in
the
new
Testament
Herode
,
who
celebrating
their
natiuities
with
greate
triumph
didde
pollute
and
and
defyle
the
same
with
the
effusion
of
innocent
bloud
.
For
the
one
did
vppon
the
same
day
,
murther
his
chiefe
baker
:
the
other
caused
the
head
of
S.
Iohn
the
Prophete
to
be
cut
off
:
but
(
sayde
he
)
it
was
farre
from
the
thoughts
of
the
holy
and
vertuous
men
to
solemnize
such
days
with
any
token
of
reioycing
or
gladnesse
.
For
they
rather
had
the
same
in
horrour
and
hatred
,
and
did
blaspheme
the
same
,
as
did
Iob
and
Ieremie
,
with
many
others
:
which
they
wold
neuer
haue
done
if
they

manner

which
estate
he
exercised
with
suche
trauaile
and
paine
,
that
he
was
in
that
respecte
Pertinax
.
And
Dioclesianus
the
Emperor
,
who
did
make
Rome
to
wonder
at
his
triumphal
victories
was
but
a
seruaunt
,
and

not
be
founde
the
place
of
his
birth
.
And
Valentianus
was

sprong
out

base
,
vnknowne
,
and
obscure
houses
.
We
coulde
also
bring
foorthe
many
Bishops
of
Rome
,
who
being
issued
out
of
pore
parentages
,
and
of
small
reputation
,
came
to
the
like
dignitie
.

we
will
make
no
mention
at
this
present
,
for
suche
dignities
are
not
gotten
by
noblenesse
of
birth
,
but
by
vertue
and
holinesse
of
life
.
We
haue
by
other
Examples
going
before
,
very
amplie
declared
,
that
they
were
very
wicked
and
miserable
persons
,
that
wold
suffer
themselues
to
be
caryed
away
by
inordinate
ambition
(

vanisheth
away
as

Fortune
dothe
imparte
hir
fauors

shée
pleaseth
,
raising
sometimes
vp
the
poore
,
vnto
the
rule
and
gouernment
of
realmes
and
kingdomes
.
And
nowe
the
better
to
performe
our
sayings
,
it
is
expedient
for
vs
to
declare
how
shée
dothe
also
abase
and
put
downe
,
when
it
pleaseth
hir
,
those
that
be
sette
in
the
moste
highe
degree
of
all
felicitie
,
and
make
them

miserable

to
their
very

the
memorie
thereof
is
pitifull
to
rehearse
.
For
this
cause
Ephyston
,
(
that
was
so
well
beloued
of
Alexander
)
willing
vppon
a
time
(
of
his
great
liberalitie
)
to
haue
giuen
to
certaine
of
his
fréendes
,
the
kingdome
of
Sydon
,
they
knowing
it
was
an
easie
matter
to
receiued
a
kingdome
,
Valerius
Maximus
in
his
histories
dothe
rehearse
that
the
firste
time
the
Crowne
was
presented
to
the
same
king
Antiochus
,
before
he
wold
put
it
vpon
his
head
,
he
did
for
a
good
space
fal
into
contemplation
,
afterwardes
he
cried
oute
with
a
loude
voice
,
and
saide
:
O
Diademe
more
happie
than
noble
:
If
the
moste
parte
of
the
Princes
of
the
earthe
woulde
consider
diligently
the
miseries
and
cares
that
doe
accompanie
them
,
they
woulde
not
be
greatly
willing
to
couet
them
,
but
woulde
rather
disdaine
to
lift
them
from
the
earthe
.
We
haue
as
it
were
the
like
Example
in
the
Histories
of
a
Tirannous
king
,
who
being
on
a
time
more
pensiue
and
sadde
than
he
was
accustomed
,
one
of
his
Courtiers
woulde
gladly
haue
made
him
merrie
,
and
saide
vnto
him
:
Wherfore
arte
thou
so
sorie
and
pensiue
O
king
,
and
séest
thy
Realme
prosper
and
flourishe
in
all
things
?
But
this
Tirante
feeling
the
anguishe
of
his
sinnes
in
his
heart
,
answered
nothing
to
him
.
But
afterwards
caused
a
feast
to
be
prepared
of
all
sortes
of
delicate
and
delitious
meates
,
wiih
such
ornaments
as
were
requisite
for
the
celebration
of
such
a
great
feast
.

examples

,
The
pacience
of
Pirrhus
king
of
the
Epyrotes
,
is
greatly
commended
in
the
histories
:
who
(
when
he
was
in
his
warres
against
the
Romains
in
Italy
)
had
certain
of
his
souldiers
in
his
campe
,
that
as
they
did
sit
at
their
meate
,
with
open
mouth
spake
vncomly
&
vndecent
words
of
him
,
vsing
therin
words
of
defamation
,
wherof
he
being
aduertised
by
certayn
spyes
who
did
apprehend
them
vpon
the
matter
,
he
commaunded
they
should
immediatly
be
brought
before
him
,
and
he
asked
of
them
if
it
were
true
they
wer
so
outragious
of
their
language
,
that
they
durst
blaspheme
the
maiestie
of
a
Prince
:
Which
thing
one
of
them
that
was
more
stout
and
carelesse
than
the
other
,
did
confesse
vnto
him
to
be
true
,
and
did
acknowledge
they
wer
greatly
forgetfull
of
themselues
in
this
cause
:
adding
therevnto
further
,
Plato
the
chief
of
al
the
Philosophers
amongs
the
Grekes
,
when
he
tooke
his
leaue
of
Dionyse
the
tyrant
to
returne
to
Athens
,
Dionyse
,
demaunded
what
report
he
woulde
make
of
him
to
other
,
Philosophers
his
companyons
,
when
hée
came
to
Athens
whervnto
Plato
answered
with
a
boldnesse
conformable
to
his
wisedome
,
that
the
Philosophers
of
Athens
had
not
so
much
leysure
as
that
they
woulde
lose
any
tyme
to
speake
of
him
or
his
doings
,
giuing
him
to
vnderstand
by
this
franke
answere
,
that
his
lyfe
was
so
out
of
order
as
the
Philosophers
(
who
did
occupie
them selues
commonly
in
graue
and
weightie
matters
)
would
not
vouchsafe
to
consume
their
tyme
to
make
any
rehersall
of
the
acts
of
a
wicked
man
,
and
sayd
they
rather
merited
to
be
buryed
in
the
perpetual
darknesse
of
forgetfulnesse
,
than
to
bee
brought
in
rehersall
before
men
.
Whiche
answere
although
it
were
very
sharpe
and
nipping
,
and
scantely
to
be
borne
,
euen
by
a
man
very
pacient
,
yet
notwithstanding
he
dissimuled
the
matter
,
and
did
not
once
make
any
shewe
by
countenaunce
that
he
was
any
thing
angry
or
moued
thereat
.
Thus
wée
haue
brought
foorth
a
great
numbre
of
auncient
examples
of
méekenesse
and
gentlenesse
,
whiche
to
some
peraduenture
at
the
fyrst
shewe
will
séeme
ridiculous
,
and
to
bée
but
fables
,
but
bycause
they
bée
written
by
so
many
notable
and
famous
authours
bothe
Grekes
and
Latines
,
we
ought
to
giue
them
credite
,
and
wee
shoulde
do
them
greate
iniurye
and
also
greately
discredyte
oure
auncesters
,
who
haue
alwayes
to
this
presente
daye
,
had
them
in
great
estimation
and
reuerence
,
now
to
bring
their
greate
wisedome
and
grauitie
in
question
.
The
Jtalians
write
in
theyr
histories
and
Annalles
,
that
vpon
a
time
when
the
Pope
wente
out
of
the
castell
Angel
,
in
Rome
in
his
accustomed
magnificence
,
an
olde
manne
a
stranger
and
vnknown
,
newly
come
to
the
citie
(
and
not
hauing
seene
any
suche
things
before
)
began
to
laughe
aloude
,
that
the
Pope
and
all
the
Cardinalles
heard
him
,
who
maruelling
at
the
matter
,
demaunded
of
him
by
and
by
the
cause
of
his
disordinate
laughing
.
This
old
man
that
was
so
aged
that
there
was
nothing
left
vnto
him
of
all
his
membres
to
stand
him
in
any
stede
(
but
onely
his

)
answered
redyly
with
a
high
voyce
neuer
staying
thereat
:
S.
Francis
,
was
exalted
to
the
dignitie
Papal
:
A
while
after
,
a
Frier
of
his
own
couent
,
that
had
ben
one
of
his
most
familiars
,
came
to
Rome
to
visite
him
,
the
Pope
hauing
receyued
him
cry
courteously
(
to
shew
him
his
great
secrets
)
led
him
into
his
treasorie
where
he
had
great
plentie
of
precious
stones
,
riches
and
other
tresures
,
where
he
sayd
vnto
him
smiling
,
Brother
,
you
see
I
can
not
say
that
whiche
S.
Peter
my
predecessour
sayde
,
that
I
haue
neither
gold
nor
siluer
:
I
do
confesse
that
sayde
the
Frier
,
holy
Father
,
S.
Peter
and
Paule
,
to
the
ende
that
they
might
iudge
of
the
excellency
therof
,
and
after
they
had
well
beheld
the
same
in
all
partes
,
it
was
commended
of
them
all
as
an
excellent
and
maruellous
thing
(
except
of
two
Cardinalles
)
who
said
that
the
table
was
very
excellent
,
but
that
they
had
their
faces
made
somewhat
too
redde
and
to
much
coloured
.

)
by
the

by
the

did
sodeynly
prognosticate
his
euill

it
is
written
in

:
for
after
that

the
continual

,

impacient
and
vnmesurable
marching
,
with
a
greate
number
of

vnhappie
lykelyhodes
that
did
appéere
in

(
the

whereof

woulde

onely
laughter
)
and

,
But

Plutarke

that
there
is
no
mischiefe
more
pernicious
in

the
buying

that

For

The

had
alwayes
mercenarie

And
to

haue
alwayes
their

caused
to

of

hauing
his

Alexander

Herodotus

writer
dyd

commende
Cambyses
King
of
the
Persians
for
his
carefull
diligence
in
punishing
the
wicked
iudges
that
did
peruerte
iustice
:
If
these
Ethnikes
,
who
had
not
suche
knowledge
of
god
as
we
haue
,
haue
detested
the
violaters
and
infringers
of
iustice
,
how
muche
more
ought
we
to
doo
the
like
,
considering
the
threatnings
that
are
made
vnto
vs
for
the
same
by
the
mouthe
of
the
Lorde
.
Let
vs
hearken
therefore
to
the
exhortation
in
this
behalfe
,
that
Salomon
(
one
of
the
moste
sagest
and
wysest
Princes
that
euer
bare
Scepter
)
maketh
vnto
all
Kings
and
Iudges
,
Beholde
lo
,
a
maruellous
instruction
for
earthly
Iudges
,
that
haue
no
mynde
but
vppon
the
worlde
,
and
bée
a
sleepe
in
the
darkenesse
of
ambition
and
worldely
honour
,
and
set
all
their
felicitie
to
make
them selues
greate
and
maruellous
to
the
people
,
and
after
their
deathes
to
leaue
their
children
inheriters
of
their
glorie
.
Let
them
hencefoorthe
therefore
,
I
say

goe

Chapter
.
How
that
crueltie
and
tyrannie
are
cheefe
enemies
to
Iustice
,
where
also
is
shewed
wherein
the
good
Prince
differeth
from
the
tyrannous
Prince
,
with
sundry
examples
confirming
the
same
,
gathered
as
well
out
of
the
Greeke
as
Latine
Authors
:
which
wyll
bring
great
pleasure
and
contentation
to
the
Reader
.
IVstice
hathe
not
a
more
greater
enemie
than
crueltie
and
tyrannie
:
S.
Paule
,
when
he
sayde
(
béeing
escaped
from
the
crueltie
of
Nero
)
he
was
deliuered
from
the
throte
of
the
Lion
:
but
to
the
contrary
the
good
Prince
hath
suche
care
ouer
his
Subiectes
,
Iulius
Pollux
to
Commodus
Caesar
)
to
the
end
he
would
haue
him
garnished
with
those
things
that
are
required
at
his
hands
,
ought
also
to
bée
méeke
,
iuste
,
gentle
,
magnanimious
,
liberall
,
master
of
his
owne
will
,
carefull
,
industrious
,
vigilant
,
puissant
in
counsell
,
sober
,
stable
and
firme
in
words
,
prompt
to
forgiue
,
and
flow
to
reuenge
.
And
hauing
thus
now
made
an
end
of
the
difference
betwene
good
princes
and
tyrannous
princes
,
I
will
now
(
folowing
our
accustomed
maner
)
produce
some
examples
of
those
that
haue
ben
most
infamously
renoumed
in
tyrannie
and
crueltie
,
to
the
ende
that
Princes
séeing
their
disorders
and
insolencies
(
by
the
testimonies
of
the
moste
faythfull
and
moste
credible
authors
that
haue
written
)
should
be
admonished
to
eschue
such
vices
,
least
that
their
posteritie
haue
not
cause
to
write
of
them
,
as
we
doo
now
of
others
.
And
bicause
Heliogabalus
a
Romayne
Emperour
,
hath
borne
the
firste
name
of
wickednesse
in
his
time
,
we
will
put
him
firste
in
the
ranke
,
Lampridius
,
Eutropius
,
Iulius
Capitolinus
,
and
many
others
.
The
firste
beginning
of
his
Tragedies
was
,
he
caused
his
brother
to
be
slayne
,
afterwards
he
maried
his
stepmother
,
the
mother
of
his
brother
whom
he
had
thus
killed
,
and
immediately
after
he
was
chosen
Emperour
:
in
steede
of
well
prouiding
for
his
Empire
,
and
giuing
good
orders
,
that
his
common
welthe
should
be
well
gouerned
and
ruled
(
the
rather
to
come
to
his
enterprises
)
he
banished
all
the
wise
and
sage
personages
of
his
dominions
,
afterwards
he
ordeyned
a
worshipfull
colledge
of
bawdes
,
of
bothe
kinds
,
who
did
openly
(
in
the
presence
of
all
people
)
cause
youth
of
bothe
sexes
to
be
defiled
:
the
seruice
of
these
people
was
so
agreble
to
his
minde
,
that
he
vsed
them
as
pages
to
serue
him
as
other
great
Lords
are
serued
of
their
houshold
seruants
.
Beholde
lo
,
the
first
zeale
of
this
beastly
Emperour
to
his
common
wealth
.
Now
when
he
had
ended
and
finished
this
his
notable
worke
,
he
woulde
then
take
vpon
him
the
office
of
an
Orator
,
and
made
a
long
Oration
to
them
,
in
the
which
he
did
persuade
them
by
wanton
and
slender
reasons
to
inuent
al
the
new
&
vnacustomed
means
that
they
could
of
baudry
and
filthynesse
,
and
that
with
all
libertie
.
And
the
better
to
bring
them
to
his
lore
,
he
exhorted
them
to
put
away
all
shamefastnesse
,
and
that
they
should
become
bolde
and
shamelesse
,
bicause
that
shamefastnesse
and
bashfulnesse
were
chéefe
enimies
to
all
pleasures
:
and
not
contenting
him selfe
with
these
abhominations
,
he
gaue
himselfe
wholly
to
be
caried
away
with
his
wanton
and
impudent
desires
and
lustes
,
that
he
caused
foure
naked
women
of
the
fayrest
in
all
his
prouince
to
be
tyed
to
a
charyot
,
and
so
led
through
the
stréetes
:
and
also
when
he
was
at
hys
meat
he
would
be
serued
with
foure
other
women
naked
as
the
others
were
,
to
the
ende
that
by
suche
meanes
his
people
with
al
libertie
should
be
prouoked
to
wantonnesse
and
whordome
:
and
bicause
nature
had
giuen
him
an
excellent
beautie
in
all
his
lineaments
,
aswell
in
his
face
,
as
in
the
proportion
of
his
members
,
he
was
so
effeminated
that
he
would
fashion
him selfe
like
a
woman
,
and
the
better
to
folow
them
,
he
would
trim
him selfe
in
their
habites
,
and
counterfayte
their
behauiours
and
countenaunces
,
and
dyd
desire
further
,
And
he
thought
it
not
sufficient
for
to
féede
hym selfe
with
suche
delicates
,
but
he
woulde
cause
hys
housholde
seruaunts
also
to
bée
fed
with
such
rare
kinde
of
meates
,
as
the
Lyuers
of
Pecocks
,
egges
of
Partriches
and
Phesants
,
and
suche
other
kynde
of
viands
,
which
were
good
for
none
other
purpose
but
to
prouoke
the
stomake
,
&
to
ouercharge
the
same
:
and
in
the
ende
he
was
so
blinded
in
his
voluptuousnesse
,
that
he
caused
his
Beares
and
Lyons
to
bee
fed
with
suche
kinde
of
meate
:
he
was
also
so
pompous
and
costely
in
his
garments
,
that
as
you
may
reade
,
he
neuer
ware
commonly
one
garment
but
one
day
,
and
he
was
ordinarily
clothed
with
golde
or
purple
,
enriched
and
beautified
with
all
kinde
of
precious
stones
.
And
as
touching
the
rest
,
as
the
vtensiles
of
his
house
,
they
were
all
either
of
golde
,
siluer
,
Iasper
,
Brouze
,
or
Porphire
,
yea
euen
too
the
pottes
which
he
vsed
for
the
excrets
of
his
body
:
and
he
was
in
the
ende
giuen
vp
to
suche
a
reprobate
minde
,
that
when
he
wente
to
horsebacke
he
woulde
cause
the
ground
to
be
couered
with
the
limal
of
golde
or
siluer
,
thinking
the
earth
to
be
vnworthy
to
serue
him
as
a
footestoole
,
or
to
touch
his
féete
.
Beholde
lo
,
in
summe
,
the
principall
poynts
of
the
lasciuious
lyfe
of
this
miserable
Emperour
,
who
in
the
end
by
the
diuine
iudgement
of
God
was
payed
with
an
hyre
worthy
his
tragicall
lyfe
,
for
he
was
killed
by
his
owne
seruaunts
,
and
carried
throughoute
all
the
stréetes
and
market
places
of
Rome
:
afterwards
,
hauing
a
great
stone
hanged
about
his
necke
,
was
caste
into
Tiber
by
the
consent
and
agréement
of
all
the
people
,
hauing
his
body
(
for
an
honorable
funerall
)
buried
in
the
bellies
of
Fishes
.
Now
hauing
declared
vnto
you
very
exactly
the
maners
and
dooings
of
Heliogabalus
Emperour
of
Rome
,
it
shall
not
bée
straunge
,
folowing
our
purpose
,
to
rehearse
in
this
behalfe
the
crueltie
and
tyrannie
of
Astyages
king
of
Medes
,
little

nothing
inferiour
to
the

which

he
thought
he
mighte
not
well
disgeste
,
fearing
that
hereafter
it
woulde
take
effecte
)
determined
to

The
twelfthe
Chapter
.
A
Treatise
of
Peace
and
Warre
,
and
the
difference
of
the
one
from
the
other
,
things
necessarie
to
be
red
by
Princes
and
Magistrates
that
haue
the
gouernment
of
Realmes
and
wealthes
.
PEace
is
moste
chiefly
to
be
desired
of
all
Princes
for
the
good
gouernemente
of
their
realmes
and
dominions
,
and
there
is
no
one
thing
that
doth
more
continue
the
same
,
and
conserue
the
dignitie
royall
of
the
Prince
,
than
to
keepe
the
subiectes
in
vnion
,
amitie
and
concord
:
and
the
prince
to
shew
himselfe
louing
towardes
them
,
as
he
desireth
to
be
béeloued
and
honoured
of
them
againe
.
For
there
is
no
defence
,
force
,
or
pollicie
,
that
maketh
the
Prince
more
strong
and
more
redoubted
than
the
loue
,
quietnesse
,
and
good
will
of
his
people
and
subiectes
,
Likewise
shee
hathe
giuen

not

as
shaée
hathe
done
to

beastes
,
but
swéete
,
pleasant
,
and
harmonious
.
And
yet
nature
not
thinking
it
sufficient
to
garnishe
him
with
all
these
giftes
:
but
shée
hath
giuen
him
the
vsage
of
reason
and
spéeche
,
a
thing
of
an
incredible
force
and
puissance
to
nourishe
amitie
and
good

amongs

but
what
can
more
dishonour
the
name
of
the
Lord
,
That
his
kingdome
should
come
,
how
are
we
so
bolde
to
pray
for
the
comming
of
the
kingdome
of
Iesus
Chryst
,
when
that
Dauid
the
wise
Prince
feared
in
such
causes
to
present
him selfe
before
God
?
we
rather
oughte
to
desire
that
the
mountaynes
should
fall
vpon
vs
to
couer
vs
,
than
to
appeare
before
the
iustice
of
God
,
béeing
so
polluted
with
the
effusion
of
the
bloud
of
our
neighbours
.
That
his
wyll
should
be
done
in

as
in

,
he
did
driue
the
Angels
out
of
heauen
for
their
disobedience
agaynst
him
,
and
beeing
vppon
the
earth
he
preached
none
other
thing
but
peace
,
and
yet
thou
arte
enimie
to
thy
neighbour
:
thou
doest
pray
that
he
woulde
giue
thee
this
day
thy
dayly
breade
:
How
darest
thou
demaunde
breade
of
the
father
of

,
when
thou
burnest
the
Wheate
and
Houses
of
thy

?
Thou
eatest
hys
trauell
,
and
yet
thou
destroyest
hys
substaunce
:
but
oh
good
Lorde
,
why
do
we
not
tremble
when
we
desire
hym
he
would
pardon
vs
our
offences
,
as
he
wold
we
shold
forgiue
others
,
when
wée
be
so
far
from
forgiuing
,
that
we
go
to
murther
oure
brethren

Wée
praye
to
him
also
that
he
woulde
deliuer
vs
from
temptation
,
and
yet
we
oure selues
tempte
oure
brethren
,
and
put
them
in
great
peril
.
And
lykewise
we
pray
to
him
to
deliuer
vs
from
euill
,
and
go
dayly
aboute
nothing
else
but
wickednesse
and
mischief
.
Hauing
now
shewed
certaine
principall
poynts
of
such
things
as
appertained
to
the
declaration
of
the
commoditie
and
profit
that
peace
dothe
bring
,
Alas
,
Asia
,
Europe
and
A●rike
,
which
are
soonke
with
their
inhabitants
,
some
ruinated
by
tempests
,
some
swallowed
vp
into
the
intrayles
of
the
earth
by
emotions
and
sodain
quakings
of
the
same
,
some
oppressed
by
the
falling
of
the
mountains
,
&
other
some
drowned
and
eaten
awaye
by
the
violent
incursions
of
the
seas
,
nor
naming
an
infinite
numbre
of
venims
,
poysons
,
and
pestilences
,
wherwith
our
liues
are
beséeged
and
continually
threatned
:
yet
for
all
these
afflictions
and
miseries
,
which
haue
and
do
dayly
fall
vpon
vs
,
we
spare
not
to
pull
in
péeces
,
to
dismembre
,
mangle
,
and
search
the
death
one
of
other
,
and
that
with
suche
vehemencie
,
that
our
crueltie
is
abhorred
amongst
the
very
Ethnikes
.
And
yet
if
oure
rage
were
exercised
vppon
the
barbarous
and
heathen
people
,
it
might
be
the
better
borne
withall
,
and
the
victorie
thereof
might
bring
some
contentation
to
the
conqueror
.
But
Oh
good
Lord
,
will
we
know
what
be
the
glories
and
triumphs
of
them
that
are
victorious
amongs
vs
?
Their
safegard
and
conseruation
is
the
ruine
of
their
neighbors
,
their
riches
are
the
pouertie
&
dispoyling
of
others
,
Marcus
Aurelius
,
who
vppon
a
day
receyuing
his
triumph
for
a
greate
victorie
that
he
had
gotten
ageinst
the
enimies
of
the
Empire
,
féeling
in
his
conscience
the
wrong
that
hée
had
doon
to
his
neyghbor
,
when
he
was
caryed
in
his
Charyot
to
receyue
his
tryumph
,
began
too
saye
to
hymselfe
:
what
more
greater
follie
or
vanitie
maye
happen
to
a
Romain
Emperoure
,
And
lette
vs
searche
a
little
further
,
and
wée
shall
fynde
,
that
this
Warre
ouer
and
besydes
the
euyls
and
mischieues
beforesayd
,
engendreth
and
carrieth
with
it
two
other
mortall
enimies
to
mankinde
,
which
are
famine
,
and
pestilence
,
the
very
scourges
of
the
iuste
indignation
of
the
wrathe
of
God
,
as
it
is
amply
wytnessed
in

wherof
the
pestilence
&
other
contagious
diseases
take
their
roote
&

And
for
this
cause
the
Lorde
shewing
to
his
disciples
the
euils
that
should
happen
after
that
he
had
fortolde
to
them
that
one
nation
should
rise
against
an
other
,
kingdome
against
kingdome
,
he
added
incontinently
,
how
that
one
shuld
be
infected
of
an
other
,
and
that
there
shuld
be
pestilence
&
great
famine
throughout
al
prouinces
of
the
earth
.
Behold
lo
the
triumphs
,
behold
the
commodities
&
the
discommodities
of
the
wars
,
which
are
so
familiar
at
this
day
amongs
yong
Princes
,
that
they
will
warre
one
vppon
an
other
euen
vppon
reporte
,
and
without
any
reason
probable
that
they
can
yéelde
for
their
hatred
,
but
that
the
English
man
hateth
the
Scotte
,
bycause
he
is
Scotte
:
the
Spaniarde
the
Frenche
,
bycause
he
is
a
Frenche
man
:
the
Almane
is
no
enimie
to
the
Frenche
man
,
but
for
his
name
.
But
oh
miserable
men
that
we
are
,
wherfore
haue
not
we
rather
regarde
to
the
marks
of
Iesus
christ
,
with
the
which
we
are
al
alike
marked
?
the
riuer
of
Ren●
doth
somewhat
separate
France
from
Almane
,
but
it
can
not
separate
one
christian
from
an
other
:
the
hilles
of
Pyrenees
do
seperate
Spayn
from
Italy
but
they
are
not
of
puissance
to
separate
the
communion
of
the
church
.
The
sea
separateth
the
english
men
from
the
french
,
but
it
can
not
deuide
the
vnion
of
religion
:
Wée
sée
at
the
eye
how
the
hande
of
God
is
not
abbreuiated
,
we
sée
how
that
he
shooteth
off
the
arrowes
of
his
wrath
ageynst
vs
,
hée
stretcheth
foorth
his
hande
as
the
Prophete
sayeth
and
stryketh
vs
in
his
furie
,
Lette
vs
therefore
chaunge
oure
lyues
,
and
tourne
to
goodnesse
.
Lette
vs
drawe
oure
féete
from
crooked
wayes
,
and
hee
wyll
appease
his
wrathe
:
For
hée

And
as
for
you
Ministers
of

Church
,
S.
Paule
also
exhorteth
vs
to
pray
for
Kings
and
Princes
,
Nowe
I
will
conuerte
my
spéeche
to
you
Monarches

Emperoures
,
Kings
,
and
Princes
,
and
others
being
in
authoritie
,
of
whom
the
pore
people
do
depend
.
You
I
say
that
are
their
soules
and
their
heads
,
enter
into
your selues
,
and
be
not
caryed
away
with
your
owne
affections
:
be
such
towards
your
subiectes
,
as
the
faithful
fathers
of

towardes

following

Counsel

saide

the
good
shephearde
doothe
neuer
pull
the
skinnes
of
the
shéepe
,
but
taketh
only
the
fléece
.
And
call
to
your
remembrance
,
Oh
ye
Princes
,
that
they
are
men
as
ye
are
,
free
as
ye
are
,
Christians
as
yée
are

boughte
with
the

shall
be
iudged
by
the
same
iudge
that
yee
are
:
issued
all
out
of
one
stocke
and
roote
,
and
that
you
differ
in
nothing
but
in
a
litle
transitorie
dignitie
which
shall
vanishe
away
as
the
smoake
,
and
you
shall
haue
no
preheminence
before
God

Remembre
the

to
the
throne
of
God

Remember
also
how
that
we
all
shall
be
accomptable
of
our
liues
,
and
shall
all
appeare
before
one
iudge
,
who
will
not

The

How
hurtfull
incontinencie
is
to
Princes
,
and
howe
that
the

hathe
bene
the
cause
of

THe
obseruation
of
all
the
things
before
written
,
are
not
sufficiente
to
make
a
Prince
apte
and
méete
to
gouerne
anye
Empire
or
kingdome
,
if
further
he
be
not
deliteful
and
careful
to
clense
his
court
of
one
kind
of
vice
which
hath
bene
in
time
past
so
familiar
among
Kings
,
princes
and
Emperors
that
it
hath
bene
wholly
the
cause
of
the
ruine
of
them selues
and
their
subiectes
.
Which
vice
bicause
it
is
a
matter
that
procéedeth
of
nature
,
and
that
it
dothe
something
please
and
bewitch
our
senses
,
the
cure
thereof
is
the
more
difficile
and
daungerous
to
be
practised
,
and
specially
vpon
yong
princes
,
who
as
yet
haue
not
experimented
the
rigoures
and
assaultes
of
Fortune
.
Wherfore
there
must
be
vsed
great
paine

diligence

S

where
he
sayth
,
althoughe
lecherie
be
detestable
and
horrible
in
all
ages
,
yet
it
is
most
abhominable
and
monstrous
in
olde
age
.
Afterwardes
folowing
his
discourse
,
he
wryteth
this
that
foloweth
to
the
vtter
confusion
and
ignomie
of
all
old
leachers
.
Thinke
(
sayth
he
)
howe
muche
it
displeaseth
God
to
sée
an
olde
man
that
hathe
a
graie
heade
,
his
féete
full
of
goute
,
S.
Paule
the
(
true
louer
and
aduauncer
of
chastitie
)
wryting
to
the
Ephesians
,
S.
Peter
,
the
faithfull
minister
of
the
secretes
of
his
maister
in
his
first
Epistle
and
third
Chapter
,
1.
Peter
.
3.
where
he
exhorteth
women
to
be
obedient
to
their
husbandes
.
As
likewise
S.
Paule
the
cleare
Trumpet
of
Iesus
Christe
hathe
confirmed
the
same
in
many
places
of
his
Epistles
,
where
after
that
he
hathe
amplie
disputed
of
the
subiection
of
the
woman
and
of
hir
obedience
,
he
addeth
thereunto
bicause
(
saith
he
)
man
is
the
chéefe
and
head
.
Which
thing
also
Plato
the
Ethnicke
,
and
Aristotle
his
scholler
,
voide
of
the
knowledge
of
the
Gospell
,
guided
only
by
the
goodnesse
and
bountie
of
Nature
,
do
full
well
recognise
the
same
,
when
the
one
in
the
fifth
booke
of
his
common
wealth
saith
that
man
dothe
rule
and
gouerne
ouer
the
woman
,
as
the
shepheard
ouer
the
shéepe
:
And
the
other
in
his
Politikes
saith
that
man
by
kinde
dooth
know
the
aucthoritie
and
power
that
he
hath
ouer
the
woman
;
and
nature
hir selfe
(
a
witnesse
irreprouable
)
doth
manifest
vnto
vs
sufficiently
in
hir
works
the
very
true
portraict
&
image
of
this
subiection
and
obeysance
.
For
doe
we
not
see
that
amongs
al
beasts
as
wel
the
airie
and
watrie
,
as
also
those
that
liue
vpon
the
earth
,
the
males
do
always
commaund
the
females
?
A
thing
not
only
common
amongs
liuely
creatures
,
but
also
amongs
precious
stones
and
vegitable
plantes
:
for
amongs
them
suche
as
haue
any
force
,
strengthe
and
power
,
we
call
alwayes
the
males
,
and
the
other
more
weake
and
inferiours
,
we
call
females
.
For
further
confirmation
of
which
things
,
we
may
reade
in
many
Histories
as
well
Greeke
as
Latine
sacred
as
prophane
,
that
the
vertuous
women
did
alwayes
in
acknowledging
their
obeisance
,
cal
their
husbands
their
Lordes
and
Masters
.
As
Ignatius
the
disciple
of
Iohn
the
Euangelist
(
a
greate
obseruer
of
antiquities
)
dothe
witnesse
in
his
Epistle
to
the
Citizens
of
Antioche
.
as
also
did
Sar●
the
wife
of
the
holy
Patriarke
Abraham
,
who
speaking
of
hir
husband
(
sayd
)
my
Lorde
is
an
olde
man
.
And
S.
Peter
also
a
great
commender
of
humanitie
,
did
not
forget
it
in
his
first
Canonical
Epistle
in
the
third
Chapter
,
where
he
saith
that
in
olde
time
the
holy
women
that
put
their
truste
and
confidence
in
the
Lord
,
Boccas
,
S.
Iohn
Chrysostome
vpon
the
homilie
of
the
headding
of
S.
Iohn
Baptist
,
S.
Hierome
vpon
the
explication
of
the
.xviij.
Psalme
:
in
the
Bookes
of
the
Nuptiall
lawes
of
Mounsier
Tiraquean
,
counseller
in
the
Court
of
Parliament
,
and
in
many
other
Latin
authors
,
which
I
do
omit
at
this
present
for
prolixitie
,
and
also
in
the
booke
of
Cristian
de
Pise
,
a
yong
gentlewoman
,
one
that
was
very
well
learned
both
in
the
Greke
and
Latin
,
who
hath
most
liuely
searched
out
those
things
that
tend
to
the
commendation
of
the
feminine
sexe
,
and
answered
to
all
such
obiections
as
any
man
coulde
say
agaynst
them
,
as
any
other
author
that
I
haue
red
that
entreated
of
the
lyke
matter
,
as
thou
mayest
sée
in
one
great
tome
that
she
hathe
written
of
the
same
.
And
as
for
my
parte
,
the
reasons
that
hath
moued
me
to
rehearse
these
few
things
of
their
commendations
mentioned
before
,
doth
not
tende
to
any
other
ende
,
but
to
induce
men
which
haue
giuen
them selues
vp
to
their
wanton
lustes
to
marry
,
séeing
that
it
is
the
chiefe
remedie
that
our
Lorde
God
hath
giuen
to
man
for
a
consolation
and
ease
of
his
infirmitie
:
and
besides
mariage
is
a
thing
so
necessarie
for
man
,
that
it
is
the
onely
conseruator
and
preseruer
of
our
beginning
,
S.
Paule
sayth
,
it
is
a
great
Sacrament
,
the
mariage
of
Iesus
Chryst
,
and
his
Church
:
and
if
in
all
the
order
of
Nature
there
had
ben
any
coniunction
more
holy
,
or
if
there
had
ben
any
amitie
more
religious
than
mariage
,
truely
the
Apostle
would
haue
produced
the
fame
therof
in
the
behalfe
of
Iesus
Chryst
and
his
church
.
The
auncient
Hebrues
had
mariage
in
suche
honor
and
reuerence
that
the
new
married
men
were
alwayes
the
first
yere
exempted
from
the
warres
,
Thracians
,
Sarmates
,
Indians
,
Greke
and
Latinis
,
yea
euen
those
that
dwell
in
the
extreme
parts
of
the
world
do
receiue
it
,
honor
it
,
&
commend
it
,
and
that
onely
bicause
that
nature
(
the
father
and
mother
of
all
things
)
knowing
our
necessitie
therin
hath
determined
it
,
and
engrauen
it
in
our
harts
,
yea
&
it
is
of
such
force
,
that
it
taketh
place
,
not
onely
amongs
the
Turtles
&
Doues
(
who
are
of
nature
amorous
)
but
further
it
vrgeth
and
constrayneth
the
most
furious
&
cruel
beasts
vpon
the
earth
to
obey
thervnto
.
The
Lions
be
louing
&
gentle
to
their
females
,
S.
Augustine
that
greate
Father
of
the
Churche
in
his
Booke
De
ciuitate
Dei
,
exhorteth
men
to
be
the
same
to
their
wiues
that
they
woulde
haue
their
wiues
to
be
to
them
,
if
you
desire
sayth
he
,
to
haue
your
wiues
modest
,
chaste
,
and
sobre
,
you
,
which
are
the
heades
and
chéefe
,
must
giue
the
first
testimonie
and
example
in
your selues
:
(
and
yet
he
concludeth
that
very
hardely
any
chaste
man
shall
bridle
a
vicious
and
an
impudente
woman
,
or
a
wise
and
discrete
man
a
foolishe
woman
:
bicause
oftentimes
God
dothe
punishe
the
one
of
them
by
the
other
:
)
which
lesson
Seneca
(
the
moste
vertuous
of
the
Ethnicke
Philosophers
)
did
not
forgette
to
haue
in
remembrance
when
he
wrote
to
Lucillus
,
who
prayed
him
he
woulde
teache
him
to
make
a
drinke
,
and
the
certaine
receipte
therof
,
without
any
poyson
therein
,
which
should
haue
vertue
to
cause
him
to
be
beloued
of
his
wife
,
Pompey
,
Parcia
with
Cato
,
Artemisia
with
hir
spouse
,
Hipsicrates
with
the
great
king
Mithridates
and
many
others
rehearsed
in
the
holy
Scriptures
,
which
haue
bene
so
ioyfull
to
them
,
that
they
haue
not
onely
triumphed
and
reioyced
in
the
sorowe
and
tormentes
hapning
vnto
them
for
the
same
,
but
euen
in
deathe
it selfe
,
so
that
for
one
which
yée
shall
finde
condempned
in
the
Histories
,
yée
shall
finde
a
Million
of
others
commendable
and
vertuous
.
But
if
we
will
trie
all
estates
that
doe
liue
or
be
dead
with
suche
a
touche
stone
,
and
wey
all
our
actions
in
so
iuste
a
ballance
,
where
hath
there
bene
any
founde
so
holy
in
this
mortal
life
that
hath
not
haulted
or
offended
in
some
thing
?
And
that
the
same
shall
not
be
founde
vntrue
,
note
the
first
estate
of
this
world
was
made
of
two
persones
,
that
is
the
man
&
woman
,
who
both
two
did
offend
.
The
second
estate
which
was
their
two
children
,
the
one
was
a
murtherer
of
the
other
his
brother
.
The
third
estate
which
was
Noe
,
was
derided
of
his
children
,
wherewith
the
Lorde
our
God
was
offended
.
Let
vs
goe
further
to
the
kings
,
ye
shall
finde
that
Dauid
was
a
good
man
,
and
Saule
an
euil
man
,
amongs
the
Prophets
,
Daniel
a
good
man
,
and
Balaam
wicked
:
amongs
the
estate
of
widowhead
Iudith
a
good
woman
,
and
Iesabell
an
euill
woman
:
amongs
rich
men
Iob
was
good
,
and
Nabal
curssed
:
in
the
estate
of
Apostles
.
S.
Peter
was
a
godly
man
,
and
Iudas
a
Traytor
,
so
that
euen
amongs
those
that
folowed
Christe
,
there
were
some
founde
wicked
.
Beholde
nowe
then
howe
to
be
either
good
or
badde
,
it
commeth
not
of
the
estate
of
marriage
,
but
of
oure
naughtinesse
and
corrupt
inclination
:
As
yée
see
of
the
swéete
floure
the
Bee
gathereth
Honie
,
and
the
Spider
poyson
.
There
is
yet
one
thirde
kinde
of
people
,
which
be
the
moste
fondest
and
most
scrupulous
of
all
others
,
for
they
be
suche
,
that
what
so
euer
thing
is
offered
to
them
,
if
it
be
not
confirmable
to
their
owne
sensuall
appetite
,
they
can
not
disgest
it
.
And
if
they
feele
the
least
annoyance
in
the
worlde
in
marriage
,
it
is
to
them
a
hot
iron
which
burneth
and
tormenteth
them
,
so
that
they
disdaine
and
refuse
it
,
and
wishe
that
the
memorie
thereof
were
vtterly
extincte
and
forgotten
.
Such
manner
of
people
complaine
of
marriage
,
bicause
say
they
,
it
is
an
heauie
burden
,
a
very
sea
of
mischéefe
,
and
an
extréeme
seruitude
:
specially
for
the
vnquietnesse
of
the
women
who
are
alwayes
complaining
,
if
they
lacke
any
thing
at
any
time
,
they
neuer
cease
to
torment
and
vexe
their
husbands
.
I
would
demaund
of
suche
Nicets
,
how
they
can
endure
any
greeuous
iniurie
of
their
enimies
,
If
therefore
the
superstitious
Philosophers
haue
taught
those
things
,
what
ought
they
to
doe
that
make
their
whole
and
faithfull
profession
of
Christianitie
?
Learne
then
you
Christians
that
doe
so
burne
with
choler
and
impacience
in
your
houses
,
learne
(
I
say
)
of
the
Ethnickes
to
moderate
your
anger
,
and
refraine
your
passions
heereafter
,
by
their
examples
.
But
nowe
to
returne
againe
to
our
firste
matter
,
seeing
that
marriage
is
so
noble
,
so
excellent
and
holy
,
and
that
it
is
the
only
conseruer
of
our
humanitie
,
let
vs
commende
it
,
esteeme
it
,
and
honoure
it
as
a
heauenly
and
special
gifte
of
God
,
which
he
hath
sent
out
of
his
throne
aboue
to
vs
beneath
,
for
the
comforte
of
our
liues
.
For
if
it
be
banished
and
estraunged
from
vs
,
it
shall
happen
to
vs
,
as
Xerxes
that
great
king
of
Persia
sayde
of
an
infinite
numbre
of
people
that
he
did
beholde
vppon
the
toppe
of
a
hill
,
when
he
sayde
(
weeping
bitterly
:
)
Oh
miserable
and
infortunate
creature
man
that
thou
arte
,
behold
,
that
of
so
many
Millions
that
doe
nowe
at
this
present
day
liue
vppon
the
earth
,
an
hundreth
yeares
from
hence
there
shall
not
be
one
liuing
.
Who
can
not
then
frame
himselfe
to
marriage
,
and
learne
to
liue
in
the
pleasant
bondes
therof
,
as
a
thing
most
necessarie
and
holsome
for
mankinde
,
which
being
taken
away
from
vs
,
al
flourishing
common
wealthes
and
triumphante
Cities
shall
remaine
desolate
,
and
be
onely
peopled
with
trees
,
rotten
stockes
,
rockes
,
and
sauage
beastes
.
But
contrarie
by
the
aide
and
benefite
therof
,
they
shal
be
quickned
,
conserued
,
and
maintained
in
their
essence
and
eternitie
.
Séeing
then
that
the
Lord
our
God
will
haue
marriage
,
the
lawes
commaunde
it
,
honestie
calles
vs
to
it
,
reason
exhorteth
vs
,
nature
leades
vs
,
necessitie
constraineth
vs
,
and
the
very
bones
and
ashes
of
oure
auncestors
and
parentes
(
that
repose
in
their
sepulchres
)
do
craue
and
require
it
,
let
vs
receiue
it
,
honor
it
,
and
maintaine
it
,
with
suche
innocencie
,
puritie
,
and
sinceritie
of
minde
,
as
that
it
be
not
brought
in
condemnation
at
the
last
day
against
vs
,
before
God
the
iust
iudge
and
searcher
of
all
secretes
.
