bee much violent for the time yet they continue but a little time and now the title of brethren is gone in respect of the body politicke for wee bee much neerer than before Hengist hath married with Scota euen as Henry your Maiesties royall father the sonne of L. Matthew Stuarte and of Ladie Margaret who married with your mother Mary daughter to king Iames the fourth and to the Dutchesse of Longueuille after the death of her first husband king Frauncis the second grandchild by the first ventre vnto that good prince of renowned memorie king Henry the seuenth as your Highnesses father was by the second ventre so that it may most fitly be said concerning that blessed coniunction of those two faire and peaceable planets Nuper ex atrocissimis bellorum ciuilium vulneribus paulispèr respirantem amplexi sunt libertatem huius insulae Iacobus quartus Margareta Scotorum coniugio sociati c. Out of the late most bitter wounds of ciuile warres Iames the fourth and Margaret being knit in wedlocke together haue embraced the liberties of this Island euen when it began to faint and draw a weake breath This happie marriage of those two beneuolent planets portendeth the weale of Christendome for in it by a double vnion twice vnited in bloud once by the sacred vnion of the two royall families of Yorke and Lancaster and after by that second vnion in marriage of a daughter and a sonne that a mother and this a father both of them out of the bodies of king Henry and Queene Elizabeth is this match made betwixt Hengyst and Scota more firme than euer at the first when Brutus raigned ouer them before their separation in the persons of Locryn and Albanact Iam non sunt duo sed caro vna Which sacred circumscription was figured and stamped in a peece of coyne of your late royall parents vpon their vnion figuratiuely presaging this vnion also Since therefore these nations thus coupled in one bodie be both of them knit vp in your Maiesties royall person and posteritie there is not any doubt but that they will liue loue and accord in sincere vnitie together perfecting and accomplishing that generall peace of conscience which was begun and yet continued from the first of your Maiesties late dearest sister her beginning in reigne euen to this instant of your gracious gouernment your Highnesse representing the person of this auncient Brittaine comprehending the new spouse Scotland within your princely bodie though your royall residence be kept with vs as in the bride-groomes chamber hath that vbiquitie by God graunted you touching the ciuile supremacie which his omnipotencie retaineth ouer all creatures For though your Grace being head doe not really touch certaine parts of your Commonwealths bodie yet that power and vertue which is contained in your heart liuer and lungs doth gouerne and moderate in those places by direction of that head which commaundeth and predominateth all the members insomuch as they neede not say that the bridegroome is taken from them and that they shall fast because they conuerse with him in power feasting with vs vnder his goodnesse for wee bee children of the bride-chamber all alike And it is not to bee doubted but that this new bride will declare her true loue and loyall demeanure towards her husband whatsoeuer sedicious or malecontented spirits mistrust or misconster for shee is from the first bud of her youth acquainted with her husband hauing a perfect and infallible notice by long tryall and hath sincerely plighted her faith What is he then worthie that would in the roote of all bitternesse seuer the barke from the tree by nefarious breach of this blessed vnion that I may speake vulgarly sowing the seede of dissention of intestine garboyle and burlyment amongst auncient brethren by making the peaceable members of one bodie to rebell against themselues and against the will of God Let them that haue scarcely sucked so much as of the vile dregs of nature iudge hereof For if two weake ones vnited make a competent strength then certainely two nations so combined and of such force beeing seuerall such as haue borne battaile and confounded the puissantest princes of Christendome may very well grow most mightie by their vnited force whereas if they should not now confirme themselues in vnfained amitie which God hath commaunded it must necessarily follow that it had beene a million fold better for them that they neuer had knit in that nuptiall band together for then will they both of them loose their owne forces in mutuall resistance opening their glories to the spoyle of base and despised enemies We now stand one in more need of another than euer we did before if wee consider it and onely because we haue incorporated our hearts lawes and obediences together vnder one God and one King which hath not beene of so many hundred yeeres past Nam vtrumque per se indigens alterum alterius auxilio indiget For both of them being single and standing in some neede of succour may stand one the other in steede with their owne succours This if wee ponder with franke and honourable accord and shall ioyfully rouse vp and vnite our noble spirits together with all heroycall obedience and true magnanimitie vnder our dread Soueraigne for him against his enemies as we haue alreadie done our kingdomes for if we will endeuour and accommodate our selues but to this our blessing of vnitie which euery vaine foole vnlesse the false tempter bewitch him will apprehend with all comfort profered from so sweete good and gracious hands of the Lord of our hoastes then Neque orbis terrarum neque cunctae gentes conglobatae mouere aut contundere queant hoc imperium Neither the whole world nor all the nations and people of this earth assembled in hostile troupes shall haue power to shiuer or batter down this our Empire Hereof let vs prudently consider being a matter of such high consequence for no mans imagination apprehension precaution or prouidence can bee so strong in this case as is requisite Nam de futuro nemo omnium satis callidus prudensque est Let vs therefore prudently consider and it shall appeare how both these kingdomes which were so long seuered heretofore haue beene from the first remembrance which is remayning of this Island since it was first inhabited by Brutus who shared it amongst his sonnes and after him long and many times made one bodie and how standeth then the present state of them in comparison Euen as one auncient tree lopped off from the bole wherein by processe of time diuers old Danish Saxon and French graffes haue beene planted which take their vertue from the roote of that ancient Brittaine stocke including England Scotland and Wales by times continuance reincorporate and flourishing out againe in one fruitfull tree So that in the persons of your Grace and of your sweete spouse in whome the fruits of all these nations now prosper these seuerall plants graciously sprout

yeelding by their sacred vnion the Lady Margaret the firstflower of that coniunction and great Grand-mother as I declared to our Soueraignes Maiestie in these happy bodyes raigning ouer vs whose blessed raigne I beseech God to lengthen as the dayes of heauen Henry Duke of Guyse father to this yong Duke now liuing in France aspiring couertly to that greatnesse which neither his birth nor conscience albeit well guarded by the Church of Rome could assure him fell in the very bowels of his ambition vnder that guard which if he could should haue been spectators of their Soueraignes

much clemencie The late successe of Marischall Byron in France for practizing against the crowne and life of his Soucraigne with the faction of Spaine being sofresh in our memories by the ransome of that capitall treason with his head which payd it need not to be much stood vpon Neither those ambitious conspiracies of the Earle Gourey in Scotland against his Highnesse sacred life miraculously protected and preserued by God for the weale and gouernment of his people Adde herevnto the late practises of our vnworthy Gentlemen of England against his annoynted Maiestie whosemercy doth yet appeare much great as were their treasons By these and other examples infinite of that nature appeareth how needfull it is that Magistrates in such place haue great care and feare of falles when they seeke to scale flipperie promotions beyond their reach which are onely bestowed by diuine prouidence and not any wayes disposed by humane policie This also did the diuine Scalliger obserue in his aduise to such ambicious firebrands which after th'eruption of a fewe turbulent sparkes soone and on a sudden ende in cold and dead embers Certo 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 tua metire probando Ne scande Locos equibus

spirit towards corporall promotions and benefits and if griefe or discontentment vpon good ground seaze vpon vs let vs arme our selues with constancie to beare and to conuert all wrongs and tribulations into the practise and vse of vertues by which meanes we shall so charme all dolours and perturbations that they can haue no power to brande or torture vs. Adde hereunto this precept of Master Francis Guycciardine that counsellors in weigtie matters shew deliberation and slownesse of tongue and foote the cnstome of their seruice fed with the bitter hearbe patience which bringeth peace at the last should so farre preuaile with them in most causes that the more wrongs they receiue at their Princes hands the more patience and dutie they should declare This least I become more tedious then pleasant or profitable to the Reader I thinke sufficient concerning the principal qualities and offices in a counsellor many more seuerally might be recounted howbeit as adiuncts or dependances vnto these before specified And some fewe which herein are exexpressed will make a man honourable and esteemed according to that saying of Salust Multa vari●…que sunt artes animi quibus summa claritudo comparatur Herein not presumptuously nor ouer weaningly to limit men in wisedome and authoritie so far beyond my censure and aboue my degree to such things which proceed from my weake and vnripe opinions but to giue a methodicall taste of my iudgement grounded vpon the sound opinions of men prudent and very learned consorting in sweete Harmonie with the Lawgiuers Commonwealths-masters and prudent Philosphers of former ages In them for my part resting well satiffied yet with such due respect as by submitting my selfe in all reuerence and humiltie to the sounder iudgements approued wisedomes and gentler corrections of men learned and experienced in offices of state with a decent obedience and readinesse I doe desire to bee both instructed better and reformed in any point which their wisedomes shall deeme expedient herein To conclude therefore in opposition to them that haue violently and sodainly fallen from the throne of soueraigntie by their ambition with such as merely by their vertues haue been aduanced and established kingdoms in their long succeeding posteritie through many generations I will speake somewhat as well for their encouragement which are verely noble as for the reformation of those that are proude abiect ambitious Hee which deserueth well and laboureth in the common cause of his Countrey with iustice and sinceritie may worthily seeke for condigne prefe●…ment at the Prince his hands for if euery laborer meriteth wages what doth he which incessantly busieth himselfe in procuring ayding and maintaining the peace and riches of the Common-wealth Magnae namquè curae magna merces est The reward is great which appertaineth to a great charge as Salust in his Oration to Caesar. This care and zealous desire to dignifie that Nation which gaue the first light to his life is the perfectest token of a good Counsellors vertue Virtutique perfectae nonfiet condignus honor Perfect vertue cannot be sufficiently honoured saith Aristotle And according to Patricius Virtus semper secum comitem habet honorem velut corpus vmbram laudataquè crescit Vertue is continually accompanied with honor as the body is with a shadow and florisheth by good fame Nay the most kindely milke which nourisheth vertue is honor And as Aristotle writeth in another place Homines dij dicuntur propter virtutum excellentiam c Men in respect of their vertues excellencie be called Gods What then shall we study therefore to become
