What King euer moderated the solemne acts of an Vniuersitie in all professions and had so many hands clapt in the applause of his acute and learned determinations Briefely such is his intire acquaintance with all sciences and with the Queene of all Diuinitie that hee might well dispute with the infallible Pope Paulus 5us for his triple crowne and I would all Christian quarrels lay vpon this duell His iustice in gouerning matcheth his knowledge how to gouerne for as one that knowes the common-wealth cannot bee vnhappie wherein according to the wise heathens rule law is a Queene and will a subiect he hath euer indeauoured to frame the proceedings of his gouernement to the lawes not the lawes to them Witnesse that memorable example whereof your eyes were witnesses I meane the vnpartiall execution of one of the ancientest Barons of those parts for the murder of a meane Subiect Wherein not the fauour of the block might bee yeelded that the dishonour of the death might bee no lesse then the paine of the death Yet who will not grant his Mercy to bee eminent amongst his vertues when Parsons himselfe yeelds it And if a vertue so continuing could bee capable of excesse this might seeme so in him For that which was said of Anastasius the Emperour that he would attempt no exploit though neuer so famous if it might cost the price of Christian blood and that which was said of Mauricius that by his good-will hee would not haue so much as a Traitour dye and that of Vespasian that hee wept euen for iust executions and lastly that of Theodosius that hee wish't hee could recall those to life againe that had wronged him may in some sence bee iustly verified of our mercifull Soueraigne I pray GOD the measure of this vertue may neuer hurt himselfe I am sure the want of it shall neuer giue cause of complaint to his aduersaries But among all his Heroicall Graces which commend him as a man as a Christian as a King Pietie and firmenesse in Religion cals mee to it and will not suffer me to defer the mention of it any longer A priuate man vnsetled in opinion is like a loose tooth in the head troublesome and vse-lesse but a publique person vnstayed is dangerous Resolution for the truth is so much better then knowledge by how much the possessing of a treasure is better then knowing where it is With what zeale did his Maiestie fly vpon the blasphemous nouelties of Vorstius How many sollicitations threats promises profers hath he trampled vnder his feete in former times for but a promise of an indifferent conniuencie at the Romish religion Was it not an answere worthy of a King worthy of marble and brasse that he made vnto their agent for this purpose in the times of the greatest perill of resistance That all the crownes and kingdomes in this world should not indure him to change any iot of his profession Hath hee not so ingaged himselfe in this holie quarrell that the world confesses Rome had neuer such an Aduersarie and all Christian Princes reioice to follow him as their worthy leader in all the battels of God and all Christian churches in their prayers and acclamations stile him in a double right Defender of the faith more by desert then inheritance But because as the Sunne-beames so praises are more kindly when they are cast oblique vpon their obiects then when
