monethes olde before the Magistrates and there to iudge by the sight of the children that if they were fit for warres they should be brought vp in military discipline if otherwise they should be appointed to Mechanicall occupations The Aethiopian Philosophers made a lawe that all Magistrates and Parentes should examine theyr children and the youthes of theyr Countries what labour and exercise they had done euery day before they should take meate and if it were founde that they had not exercised either Mechanicall or Militarie exercise they should goe away vndined for that day Among the Grecians all the Orators and Poets came from all parts of Greece sometimes to Thesius graue sometimes to Helicon and there the Poets to contend in verses and the Orators in Oratory with diuers kindes of crownes and garlands which exercise was vsed to draw and intice the youthes of Greece to vertue and learning and as the Romane youths had a garment like the Dictators garment called Toga praetexta in honor of armes to exercise military discipline in Martius field so the Grecians had for those youthes that excelled in learning the garment called Palladium The sixt Regiment intreateth of murther and reuenge of blood amongst all Nations against the which the Gentiles had diuers lawe-makers which made lawes to punish the same AS the Gentiles in all Countries had their lawes made to rule and gouerne them as among the Egiptians by Bocchoris among the Persians and Baetrians by Zoroastes among the Carthagineans by Charondas among the Magnesians and Cicilians by Plato among the Athenians by Solon and among the Lacedemonians by Licurgus so had they certaine Magistrates to execute the same lawe after them as the thirtie Senators in Egipt the Areopagites in Athens the Ephori in Sparta and so of the rest This is the lawe of nature written first in tables of flesh and after in tables of stone Cain the first-man born and the first murtherer he slue his brother Abel and had sentence of the Lord with a perpetual marke of torture that no man should kill Cain but to liue as a vagabound and a rogue cursed vpon the earth the witnesse that accused him was his brother Abels blood so the Lorde spake Vox sanguinis fratris tui edit clamorem ad caelum blood therefore was the first witnesse on earth against murther and called in scripture the Iudge of blood Cain for disobedience to his father and murthering of his brother became a cursed vagabound vpon the earth and all his wicked posteritie were drowned in the deludge So scoffing Cham was cursed of his father Noah and in him all his posteritie likewise accursed for the Canaanites which were of the stocke of Cham were slaine by the Israelites and the Gibionites which came from the Canaanites were made slaues to the Israelites and so the Egiptians and Aethiopians the ofspring of Cham were taken captiue by the Assyrians so that Cham was cursed in himselfe and cursed in his posteritie for the scorning of the nakednesse of his father so the parents of the Idolaters and blasphemers brought the first stone to presse their owne sonnes The second murtherer in Scripture was Lamech which killed Cain against whome the Lorde made a lawe that whosoeuer should slea Cain should be punished seuen folde for so Lamech confessed himselfe that Cain should be auenged seuen-folde but Lamech seuentie times seuen fold there shall want no witnesses against murtherers and oppressers of Orphants and widowes The witnesse against the filthie lust of the Sodomites was the verie crie of Sodome before the Lorde for so is the lawe that the Iustice of blood shall slea the murtherer Iacobs children consented all sauing Ruben and Iudah to kill Ioseph their younger brother which made Ruben speake to his brethren in Egipt that the blood of Ioseph was the cause that they were thus imprisoned and charged with theft and robberies There are foure witnesses which the Lord stirreth vp against murtherers oppressors of Orphants Infants and Widowes first the Lorde himselfe is a witnesse the seconde the witnesse of blood the thirde the witnesse of stones in the streets and the fourth the witnesse of fowles in the aire The like murther was in Esaus heart against Iacob his brother for Esau saide that the dayes of his fathers sorrowes were at hand for I will slea my brother Iacob but Iacob fled to Aran to his vncle Laban by his mothers counsell Rebecca for feare of his brother Naboth was stoned to death by false and wicked witnesse for his Vineard of Achab by his wife Iezabels counsell The like murther was in Sauls heart against Dauid practising by all meanes possible to kill Dauid first by himselfe then by his sonne Ionathan by his daughter Michol Dauids wife and by his seruants for there is three kindes of murther the first in the heart against the Lorde as in Cains heart against Abel in Esaus heart against Iacob and in Sauls heart against Dauid the seconde by the tongue either by false witnesse as Iezabel with false witnesse against Naboth for his Vineard or else by slaunder as the two Elders in Babilon slaundered Susanna the third performed by the hand of the which there are two many examples but all murthers by the hande and by the tongue proceed from the heart the enuie of Cain in his heart towardes his brother Abel was the cause that he slew his brother The murther of Naboth was the couetousnesse of Achab in his heart to haue his vineyard The murthering of Vriah came from Dauids heart by lust to Berseba Vriahs wife There be other kinde of murtherers that rise early in the morning to kill in the day and rob in the night So Iob saith Manè surgit homicida interficit egenum Pauperem Againe there bee other kinde of murtherers as the Prophet saieth Qui viduam Aduenam interficiunt So may it be said of ambition in the heart for by ambition Herod caused all the childrē in Bethelem and about Bethelem to be slain seeking to destroy him which could not be destroyed which was Christ. Against such kings tyrants the more wicked crueltie they vse the more iust punishment they shall receiue Iudicium enim durissimum ijs qui presunt fiet and the more wrong and iniurie they do to honest and iust men the greater torments they shall suffer Fortioribus fortior instat cruciatio By ambition in the heart Abimelech slew three score and eight of Gedeons sonnes his bretheren And so by the selfesame ambition Thalia caused all that were of the kings bloud to be put to death so is hee that enuieth hateth wisheth ill to his brother a man-slaughterer The punishment of murther in Cain and in Lamech was giuen by the lawe of nature of the Lorde before the written lawe was giuen to Moses as Thamar the daughter in lawe of Iudah for whoredome and
as murther and whoredome were punished first by the lawe of nature before the lawe written so all other offences contained in the Decalogue were by the same lawe punished long before the lawe was written and giuen to Moses in mount Tabor The murthering of the Prophets of the Apostles and of the martirs of God euen frō the bloud of righteous Abel vnto the bloud of Zacharias the Priest crye and call for iustice and iudgement saying How long Lord will it be before vengeance be taken vpon wicked murtherers and tyrants Of these the Prophet saith Dederunt cadauera seru◅rum tuorum in cibum anibus caeli carnes piorum bestijs terrae But when the Lord is readie to be reuenged vpon these cruell murtherers and ambitious murmurers who can quench the fire in the stubble when it beginneth to burne who can turne againe the arrow shot of a strong archer or driue away a hungry Lyon in the wood who can resist the Lord in his purpose and decree Murtherers haue their markes as Cain had such a marke that hee could not dye though hee wisht to dye Esau had such a marke that though he sought with teares to repent yet he could not repent Pharao had such a marke that he could not confesse the Lord to be God though he sought Moses to pray for him but no doubt markes of murther for Cain kild his brother Abel Esau sought and said he would kill his brother Iacob and Pharao in his heart threatned death to Moses and Aaron and to all the Hebrewes These signes and markes which these reprobates had were not outward markes seene but inward burned with hotte Irons in their consciences but the Hebrewes in the land of Gosen were marked with the letter Tau in their foreheads as signes to be saued from the plagues in Egipt they that lamented and wept for Ierusalem were marked in theyr foreheads with the letter Tau of the Angell so all Christians are saued by this letter Tau made like a crosse which we must beare in our harts and not in our foreheads The punishment of Paracides among the olde Romanes was such that the murtherer should bee put in a sacke aliue bound hand and foote together with an ape a cocke and a viper which should so byte and torment him vntill he were almost dead and then to bee throwne into Tiber with his three companions with him so was Marc. Malleolus for killing of his mother iudged so to die by the Senators The second Paracide in Rome was Histius after the second Romane warres with the Affricans with the like iudgement giuen as before this kind of punishment for Paracides continued a long time among the Romaines for in former time while yet the Romaines were poore not acquainted with money long before they knew Affrike or Asia their punishment for murther was but a ramme which the Romanes slew and sacrificed to their gods The Grecians like the Romains in auntient time punished a murtherer with a certaine set number of cattell yet in other countries they punished murther most seuerely and cruelly As in Egipt they would thrust long needles made sharpe of steele vnder the nailes of their hands of their toes and after cut the flesh of the murtherer in small peeces and throwe it by gobbets into the fire burne it in his sight while yet he had life in him A lawe was made among the said Egiptians that if any man had killed his sonne the father should be lockt together with the sonne slaine by him in one chamber without meate or drinke for three dayes beholding still before his face the dead body of his sonne by himselfe slaine with a watch that none should come to him thinking that by looking theron there could be no greater torture or punishment to the father then to see his sonne so slaine by himselfe which was his father Among the Persians a lawe was made that he that killed his father was thought that he neuer had a father for they thought it against the lawe of nature a thing vnnaturall yea and vnpossible that the sonne should kill his father and therefore he should be euer after called a bastard a greater reproach among the Persians could not be and therefore Romulus in Rome and Solon in Athens being demaunded why they made no lawes against Paracides answered that they thought none so wicked or so cruell as to thinke on such wickednesse and therefore they thought it fit that no lawe should be mentioned for so wicked a fact though by Dracoes lawe Solons predecessor the least fault in Athens was punished with death and therefore called in ieast Lex Draconis In Lusitania a Paracide should be stoned to death not within their country least the murtherers bloud should defile their countrie but they should be banished to the next confines and there to die Dauid was forbidden to build the Temple in Ierusalem for that he was a man of bloud so the Lord said Thou art a man of bloud and therefore thy sonne Salomon shall build me a Temple In the citie Elephantina in Aethiopia a murtherer should bee forced by the lawe to eate the hearbe called Ophiusa which being eaten the murtherer should be so tormented with such terrible visions and dreames that he could neuer take rest or sleepe before he had kild himselfe The Macedonians in like sort stoned them not onely to death that committed any murther or treason against their Prince and their countrey but also such as were consenting therevnto and therfore Plato in Athens made a law that the hand that slew himselfe should not be buried with the body but should either be throwne away to be eaten of dogges or else to be nailed in some publike place to be eaten of fowles of the ayre as actor of the murther In many places murther was lesse esteemed of men then of birds or of beasts as in Egipt to kill an Egiptian cat was more dangerous then to kill a Romane captain The history is written in Diod. sic at large So to kill the bird called Ibis in Egipt there was by the lawe capitall punishment for it In Thessalia none might kill a stoike neither in Athens by the lawe of Solon none might sacrifice an oxe Cai. Caligula after he had murthered so many much complained because he could not murther more oftentimes wished that all Rome had but one necke that he might with one stroake cut it off There was found in this Emperours studie after he was murthered like a sword and a dagger the one written on and named Gladius the other Pugio in the which were written the most part of the names of the chief Senators appointed by Caligula to bee slaine and in the same studie was found a chest full of cups filled vp with diuers kindes of poysons which likewise he appointed to poyson the most part of the Romane knights as well of the Senate as of the Citie which
poisons being throwne into the seas by Claudius the Emperour his successor so infected the seas that it killed an infinite number of fish which fish being dead the seas cast off to the next shores so by the death of one murtherer most part of the Senators and Knights of Rome escaped from murther and poyson In the time that Clau. Marcellus was Consull in Rome there were found 370. olde auntient women supposed matrons accused and condemned for poysoning so many in Rome that it was thought by the citizens and Senators of Rome that it was a common plague eyther by corruption of the ayre or otherwise that so destroyed the people such rewards haue tyrants For he that killed Saul in Mount Gilboa brought his crowne to Dauid supposing to haue some great reward had the reward of a murtherer commaunded by Dauid to be slaine The like reward had Rechab Banah which brought Isbosheths head to Dauid their reward was to haue their heads and their hands cut off and to be hanged vp ouer the poole in Haebron murther neuer wants his due deserts nor iust rewards Charondas lawe was that he that pulled a mans eye out should loose an other of his owne for it but if a man had but one eye and that were pluckt out Charondas thought the lawe were satisfied if one eye of the offender were lost for it yet the one eyed man by loosing of his eye was depriued of all his sight and therfore sought by the lawe to haue the offender as blinde as he for though hee lost but one eye yet lost hee all his sight and thereby would haue the penaltie of the lawe for his sight and not for the eye and claimed therefore iustice of the lawe against the offender But the lawe of Moses is otherwise that if a man strike his seruant in the eye that his eye perish hee shall let his seruant go free for that he lost his eye also if a man smite out his seruants tooth the lawe is that he shall likewise let his seruant goe free Yet in matters of death Moses lawe is eye for eye member for member life for life bloud for bloud so is the lawe of the twelue Tables Siquis membrum rupit in eum Talio esto So Samuel spake to king Agag the Amalekite as thy sword made many women without children so without children shal be thy mother and cut him in peeces according to Talions lawe Was not Andronicus stript out of his purple cloathing by King Antiochus commaundement for his murther and caused to bee killed in the same very place where he caused the high priest Onias to be slaine the Lordes iust iudgement euer reuengeth innocent bloud Zimri through ambition which is the roote of all mischiefe conspired against his maister Elam and killed him as he was drinking in Samaria How long raigned he seuen dayes after hee was besieged in his owne pallace where he was forced to burne himselfe and his house Zellum through ambition conspired against his maister Zachariah flew him and raigned in his stead but a moneth in Samaria If men looke to the end of kings gouernors and generals more are found betraied slaine by friends seruants in their chambers theÌ„ by the enemies in the field For these be called Cubiculares consiliarij à quibus bâ—…nus cautus imperator venditur Thus is murther euer committed either by couetousnes pride malice enuie or ambition which is chief the very ringleader of murther and treason Was not Saul ambitious when Samuel tolde him that the Lorde had reicted him for his disobedience to say to Samuel yet honour me before the people The Idoll Appollo in Delphos could say no more to Augustus Caesar when he came to know what should become of the Empire of Rome but that an Hebrew childe was borne that commaunded vs to silence yet as Saul spake to Samuel so the Idollspake to Augustus yet depart thou with reuerence from our aultar before the people These wicked mens liues are compared in the booke of Wisedome to a shadowe or to a poste riding in haste on the way or to a ship in the sea whose path cannot be seene or to a fowle flying in the ayre whose steppes cannot be found whose wicked hope is compared to an arrow that is shot and falleth quickly to the ground Was not Absolon ambitious to say I wish that there were some by the king appointed to heare the iust complaint of the people Thus by ambitious meanes he practised secret trecherie against the king his father for the kingdome In the seuenth Regiment is manifested the great zeale of good men where whoredome is punished in many countries and lest vnpunished in other countries with the praise and commendation of chastitie AS you read before in the first fourth regimeÌ„ts how the Egiptians the Lacedemonians the Locreans the Getes affirmed to haue their lawes from Oracles and Diuine powers So Numa Pomp. made the old Romaines beleeue that all the lawes and Religion which he gaue to thepeople were deliuered vnto him by the Nymph Egeria yea euen the verie barbarous Scythians brag that they haue their lawes from their god Zamolxis And as the Turkes at this day confesse that they haue their lawes from Mahomet so many other lawmakers in diuers countries made their people beleeue that they consulted with some diuine powers and were instructed to make their lawes Such therefore is the strength and authoritie of the lawe that Paul calleth the lawe the minister vnto death and yet a schoole maister to know Christ. Plato called lawes the sinewes of a common-wealth Demosthenes a diuine gift Cicero the bands of cities Plutarch the very life of a common-wealth The lawes are as keyes to opeÌ„ vnto vs the way vnto obedience and to know sinne for if the lawe had not commanded me Thou shalt not defile thy neighbours wife I had not knowne adultery to be a sinne There is no offence so grieuously punished by Gods lawe neither by mans lawe as adulterie was euen from the creation in so much that all men defiled themselues with that sinne all flesh corrupted his way Hence grew the Lords anger so great that hee punished the whole worlde with an vniuersall Deluge sauing eight persons after the Deluge for the selfe same sinne the Lorde destroyed the fiue Cities of Palestine with fire and brimstone the Lorde would not haue so filthy a sinne to raigne among his people How was Israel plagued for theyr adulterie with the Moabites with whom the Lorde commaunded that they should not ioyne in marriage and therefore the Lorde commaunded Moses to hang their Princes vp against the Sunne for theyr filthy lust with the Moabites and the women that had lien with men were commaunded by Moses to bee slaine and the Virgines to bee reserued in the warres against the Madianites and Moses was angrie with the Captaines for
