able to annoy them then they were And this is generally the work of Standing Counsels to foresee and to hinder it During that Triumuirate of Kings King Henry the 8. of England Francis the 1. King of France and Charles the 5. Emperour there was such a watch kept that none of the Three could win a Palme of Ground but the other two would straightwaies ballance it either by Confederation or if need were by a Warre And would not in any wise take vp Peace at Interest And the like was done by that League which Guicciardine saith was the Security of Italy made betwene Ferdinando King of Naples Lorenzius Medices and Ludouicus Sforza Potentates the one of Florence the other of Millaine Neither is the Opinion of some of the Schoole-Men to be receiued That a warre cannot iustly be made but vpon a precedent Iniury or Prouocation For there is no Question but a iust Feare of an Imminent danger though there be no Blow giuen is a lawfull Cause of a Warre For their Wiues There are Cruell Examples of them Liuia is infamed for the poysoning of her husband Roxolana Solymans Wife was the destruction of that renowned Prince Sultan Mustapha And otherwise troubled his House and Succession Edward the Second of England his Queen had the principall hand in the Deposing and Murther of her Husband This kinde of danger is then to be feared chiefly when the Wiues haue Plots for the Raising of their owne Children Or else that they be Aduoutresses For their Children The Tragedies likewise of dangers from them haue been many And generally the Entring of Fathers into Suspicion of their Children hath been euer vnfortunate The destruction of Mustapha that we named before was so fatall to Solymans Line as the Succession of the Turks from Solyman vntill this day is suspected to be vntrue and of strange Bloud For that Selymus the Second was thought to be Supposititious The destruction of Crispus a young Prince of rare Towardnesse by Constantinus the Great his Father was in like manner fatall to his House For both Constantinus and Constance his Sonnes died violent deaths And Constantius his other Sonne did little better who died indeed of Sicknesse but after that Iulianus had taken Armes against him The destruction of Demetrius Sonne to Philip the Second of Macedon turned vpon the Father who died of Repentance And many like Examples there are But few or none where the Fathers had good by such distrust Except it were where the Sonnes were vp in open Armes against them As was Selymus the first against Baiazet And the three Sonnes of Henry the Second King of England For their Prelates when they are proud and great there is also danger from them As it was in the times of Anselmus and Thomas Becket Archbishops of Canterbury who with their Crosiars did almost try it with the Kings Sword And yet they had to deale with Stout and Haughty Kings William Rufus Henry the first and Henry the second The danger is not from that State but where it hath a dependance of forraine Authority Or where the Churchmen come in and are elected not by the Collation of the King or particular Patrons but by the People For their Nobles To keepe them at a distance it is not amisse But to depresse them may make a King more Absolute but lesse Safe And lesse able to performe any thing that he desires I haue noted it in my History of King Henry the Seuenth of England who depressed his Nobility Whereupon it came to passe that his Times were full of Difficulties Troubles For the Nobility though they continued loyall vnto him yet did they not co-operate with him in his Businesse So that in effect he was faine to doe all things himselfe For their Second Nobles There is not much danger from them being a Body dispersed They may sometimes discourse high but that doth little Hurt Besides they are a Counterpoize to the Higher Nobility that they grow not too Potent And lastly being the most immediate in Authority with the Common People they doe best temper Popular Commotions For their Merchants They are Vena porta And if they flourish not a Kingdome may haue good Limmes but will haue empty Veines and nourish little Taxes and Imposts vpon them doe seldome good to the Kings Reuenew For that that he winnes in the Hundred he leeseth in the Shire The particular Rates being increased but the totall Bulke of Trading rather decreased For their Commons There is little danger from them except it be where they haue Great and Potent Heads Or where you meddle with the Point of Religion Or their Customes or Meanes of Life For their Men of warre It is a dangerous State where they liue and remaine in a Body and are vsed to Donatiues whereof we see Examples in the Ianizaries and Pretorian Bands of Rome But Traynings of Men and Arming them in seuerall places and vnder seuerall Commanders and without Donatiues are Things of Defence and no Danger Princes are like to Heauenly Bodies which cause good or euill times And which haue much Veneration but no Rest All precepts concerning Kings are in effect comprehended in those two Remembrances Memento quod es Homo And Memento quod es Deus or Vice Dei The one bridleth their Power and the other their Will Of Counsell XX. THe greatest Trust betweene Man and Man is the Trust of Giuing Counsell For in other Confidences Men commit the parts of life Their Lands their Goods their Child their Credit some particular Affaire But to such as they make their Counsellours they commit the whole By how much the more they are obliged to all Faith and integrity The wisest Princes need not thinke it any diminution to their Greatnesse or derogation to their Sufficiency to rely vpon Counsell God himselfe is not without But hath made it one of the great Names of his blessed Sonne The Counsellour Salomon hath pronounced that In Counsell is Stability Things will haue their first or second Agitation If they be not tossed vpon the Arguments of Counsell they will be tossed vpon the Waues of Fortune And be full of Inconstancy doing and vndoing like the Reeling of a drunken man Salomons Sonne found the Force of Counsell as his Father saw the Necessity of it For the Beloued Kingdome of God was first rent and broken by ill Counsell Vpon which Counsell there are set for our Instruction the two Markes whereby Bad Counsell is for euer best discerned That it was young Counsell for the Persons And Violent Counsell for the Matter The Ancient Times doe set forth in Figure both the Incorporation and inseparable Coniunction of Counsel with Kings And the wise and Politique vse of Counsell by Kings The one in that they say Iupiter did marry Metis which signifieth Counsell Whereby they intend that Soueraignty is married to Counsell The other in that which followeth which was thus They say after Iupiter was married to Metis she conceiued by him
