Scots enters upon the Scots pa. 57. and would cousen us to credit their Story where he begins a division between the English and them at Court goes smoothly on to the middle of these last times Pamp. 58. when it seemes he writ this And as he saies saw all our happinesse derivative from their favours by their own valour and bravery of spirit Good Man He beleeves what he thought he saw But wanting the eye of faith to forsee this great Alteration which he lived not to find but We now to feele Our late gude Presbyterian Brethren turne false Loones and become the traiterous Rebells to that reformation which not long ago they professed he others beleeved and so disunited the union of all our quiet and happines Pamp. 60. Scandal upon E. of Salisbury He tells us of a trick that the Earle of Salisbury had to compound with the Scots Courtiers for their Books of Fee-farmes which they bought at 100. l. per annum for a thousand pound Then would he fill up these bookes with prime land worth 20. thousand pounds A pretty trick indeed to make himselfe Lord Para-Mount of the best lands in England but it had bin a gainful trade of our Author to have turn'd Informer to the State in the particulars of these Tricks and so the return of these lands so deceitfully got would prove now as hard a bargain to his son as the Lord-like purchasers of Debenturs have done latly to his son that may succeed him We are come to the consideration of the third Remark in the Preface Remar 3. Pamp. 61. Robert Carre and Sir Tho. Overbury and so we fall into the History of Rob. Car after E. of Summerset and intermixed with that of Sir Thomas Overbury Ro. Car was a Scottishman of no eminent birth but a Gent. and had bin a Page of honor to the King in Scotland And in truth he became the first Favorite that we find that is one whom the Ki. fancied meerly for his fashion upon no other score nor plot of design His Confident was one Sr. Tho. Overbury a man of good parts whom our Author hath well characterized and his policy was to please the English by intertaining them his Domestiques There was amongst other persons of honor quality in Court a young L. of great birth and beauty Fra. the daughter of Tho. Howard then E. of Suffolk L. Treasurer of Eng. married in under age unto the late and last E. of Essex Of him cōmon fame had an opinion grounded upon his own suspition of his insufficiency to content a wife And the effects of this Narration with the sequell of his life and conversation with his second wife is so notorious as might spare me and the Reader our sever all labours for any other convincing arguments But with his first when both were of years to expect the event and blessing of their Marriage-bed He was alwaies observed to avoid the company of Ladies and so much to neglect his own that to wish a Maid into a Mischief was to commend her to my Lord of Essex Which increased the jealousie of such Men whose interests were to observe him That he preferred the occasion himself to a separation And which indeed from publique fame begat private disputation amongst Civilians of the legality thereof wherein those Lawyers are boundlesse This Case followed the heeles of a former Nullity fresh in memory between the L. Rich and his fair Lady by mutual consent But because the E. of Dev. married her whilst her Husband lived the King was so much displeased thereat as it broke the E. heart for his Majesty told him That he had purchased a fair woman with a black soul And this is a known truth That before Viscount Rochford for so was Carre lately created had made any addresse to this Lady her own friends in Justice and honor to her birth exposed her to the plaint of her Husbād to the severest triall in a Course of judicature And 't is as true that the King knew hereof our Pamphlet saies A party in this ●●udy businesse for what was legall for the meanest Subject Pamp. 77. could not in justice be denied unto Her Which in fine sentenced them both by Divine and Civil Canon loose from their Matrimoniall bands And because the Nullity gave freedome to either and so the means to the Countesses after Mariage with the sad occasions of all the sequell mishaps and suspected scandalls so untruly expressed by the Pamphlet I have with some diligence laboured out the truth precisely and punctually as it was acted and proceeded by Commission Delegative not easily now otherwayes to be brought to light Upon Petition of the Earl of Suffolke and his Daughter Francis to the King Proceedings of Nullity That Whereas his Daughter Francis Countesse of Essex had been Married many years unto Robert Earle of Essex in hope of comfortable effects to them which contrarywise by reason of certaine latent and secretemperfections and impediments of the said Earl disabling him in the rights of Marriage and most unwillingly discovered to him by his daughter which longer by him to conceale without remedy of Law and the practice of all Christian policy in like cases might prove very prejudiciall And therefore pray the King To commit this cause of Nullity of Matrimony which she is forced to prosecute against the said Earl to some grave and worthy persons by Commission under the great Seal of England as is usuall c. Which accordingly was granted unto foure Bishops two Privy Counsellers learned in the Law and to foure other Civill Lawyers with Clause to proceed Cum omni qua poterint celeritate expeditione Summarie ac de plano sine strepitu ac figura Judicii sola rei facti veritate inspecta mera aequitate attenta And with this Clause also Quorum vos praefat Reverendissimū patrem Cant. Archiepiscopum Reverendissmum patrem Lond. Episcop Iul. Caesar Mil. Aut duos vestrorum in ferenda sententia interesse volumus But for some exceptions concerning the Quorum by the Commissioners in the words sententia esse not interesse A second Commission was granted and adjoyned two Bishops more with this Quorum Quorum ex vobis praefat Re.

Parry Mil. in ferenda sententia tres esse volumus Upon this the Lady procures Processe against the Earl to Answer her in a cause of Nullity of Matrimony The Ladies Libell The Earle appears before the Commissioners by his Proctor And She gives in her Libell viz. That the Earl and the Lady six years since in Ianuary Anno Dom. 1606. were Married her age then thirteen and his fourteen and now she is 22. and he 23 years old That for three years since the Marriage and he 18. years old they both

I never knew then nor can find sithence any suspicion unlesse in that of the Treasury The ground whereof is hinted unto us by our Author Pamph. 166. But in truth in this He hath but Scumm'd the Pot to cleere the Broth. For indeed who more fit for the reasons I have shewed than this man of experience in Stating the Accompts for the Revenues of the State which I know he improved and not unlikely thereby purchased Envy for his Eminency And to say truth according to his Place He did indeavor to Husband the same to piece out with the expence which the Princes Iourney into Spain had wonderfully and unnecessarily exhausted as by the Printed accompt thereof lately divulged by Parliament doth manifestly appeare Then which no better Evidence can be produced to acquit the Treasurer together with what the Pamphletter publishes as a supposed crime Pamph. 166. His refusall to supply that journey and Buckinghams folly and prodigality and this He did deny as the duty of his Office required and which He well understood as being of Counsell and acted as a Counsellour in that undertaking to My knowledg and as indeed being then the Statesman at the Counsell Table But his refusall of supplying Buckingham upon that Score only wrought him no doubt at his returne home the Treasurers great enemy And whom He opposed a small accusation might serve the turne to turne any Man out of all as He did Him And yet to the Honour of his Memory though they raked into all his actions and racked all mens discoveries to the height of Information the power of Buckingham could never produce any Crime though mightely attempted against his exact accompts in that boundlesse trust of the tempting Treasury And in spite of Malice though they divested him of that Office yet He lived long after in Peace Wealth and Houour And died since these times of inquiry leaving to his Heire his Honors untaint with a plentifull Estate to all his Children enabling them to beare up the worthy Character of their Fathers meritts And thus having digressed in our matter beyond our time we returne to the first appearance of our new Favorite George Villiers 89 His discent George Villiers who was of an Ancient Family in Leicestershire His Father Sir Edward Villiers begat him upon a second Wife Mary Beomont of Noble birth whom for Her beauty and goodnesse He Married He had by Her three Sonnes Iohn Viscount Purbeck George Duke of Buckingham and Christopher Earle of Anglesey and one Daughter Susan Countesse of Denbigh Our Pamphlet tells us Page 90. That He came over by chance from his French Travells and sought his preferment in Mariage with any body but mist of his match for want of a hundred Marks Ioynture And so pieces him for the Court like in the Story of Dametas Caparisons borrowing of every one piecemeal to put him forward for the Kings Favourite The truth is thus His Mother a Widdow was lately Married unto Sir Thomas Compton second Brother to the Lord Compton who by chance falling upon a wonderfull match for matchless wealth with Alderman Sir John Spencers Daughter and Heir And his Father then lately dead this Lord was Master of all which was of more than credible and so might be enabled bountifully to set up a Kinsman without help or alms of the Parish And it was plotted long before and Villiers sent for to the same purpose And this indeed was done by practice of some English Lords And I can tell him the time and place There was a great but private Entertainment at Supper at Baynards Castle by the Family of Herberts Hartford and Bedford and some others By the way in Fleetstreet hung out Somersets picture at a Painters Stall which one of the Lords envying bad his Footman sling dirt in the face which he did and gave me occasion thereby to ask my Companion upon what score that was done He told me That this meeting would discover And truly I waited neer and opportune and so was acquainted with the Design to bring in Villiers And thus backt Our new Favourite needed not to borrow nor to seek out many Bravo'es to second his Quarrels which at first I confess he met with For having bought the place of Cup bearer to the King his right was to have the upper end of the Table at the reversion of the Kings Diet only during his monethly wayting But he not so perfect a Courtier in the Orders of the House set himself first out of his month when it was not his due and was told of it and so removed which was not done with over much kindnesse for indeed the Other was Somersets Creature But not long after this party by chance rather than by designe spilt upon Villiers cloaths as he carried meat to the Kings Table and returning to Dinner Villiers gave him a box on the Eare For which the Custome of the Court was to have his hand cut off and which belonged to Somerset as Chamberlain to prosecute the Execution Favorite as he did And here the Kings mercifull pardon without any satisfaction to the party made him appear a Budding Favorite And now we are fallen upon a story of fooling and fidling sometime used for Courtlike recreations I confesse Pamph. 91. but alwayes with so much wit as might well become the Exercise of an Academy Not Gerbiers which our Author misconstrues and calls a Brothelry to usher in the New Favorite and to out the Old One whose Misfortunes with his Lady brake out even now as we have told of before And now indeed Pamph. 124. all the browse boughs cut downe or removed to plain the Stemm our Favorite appears like a proper Palm His first step into honourable Office was in the Admiralty Admiralls to succeed a good and gallant Old Lord of Nottingham who being almost Bed ridd made sute to the King That himself might dispose his place as a Legacy in his life time upon Villiers which was so done and who to my knowledge went in Person to acknowledg the Kindnesse and presented his Young Lady with a very noble and valuable reward which my Lord Compton paid for and besides a Pension therefore during his life And all this was done with so much love and liking that I have often observed Villiers his great Civility to him ever after at each meeting to call him Father and bend his knee without the least regret of the Lord that gained more than he lost by the bargain and did not cost the King a penny And because Sir Robert Mansell a dependant of Nottingham had the place of Vice-Admirall at pleasure only Villiers for his Lords sake continued him by Patent during life For which Courtesie the good Old man came himself to give thanks as I remember the last Complement his age gave him leave to offer And thus was this Office of Honor and Safety to the Kingdom Ordered from the Command
