That he may liue as triumphant euen in Rome as victorious in Great Brittaine as much admired of all the worlde for his Mercie as feared for his Valour and cherrished and honoured of his people both for his Piety and Justice For as Learning and Knowledge are written in great Letters on his Royall for-head as knowing how to instruct stout Rebels giuing them lessons of dutie and apprehensions how to liue acording to his Lawes so in like maner may be seene shining in his Eyes Clemency and Mildnesse Vertues apt and proper to MY KING And therefore wee see him not running like Aratus with a drawne sword in his hand vpon the Wals of Rome and to the Tyrants gate to take reuenge in his iust displeasure but seated Seated in signe of Royall power and Soueraignty of his owne right Iustice Sitting on his Throne in signe that Iehu shall raigne and that is according as the Wise man approueth it when he saith The King that is seated vpon his Throne chaseth all euill out of his sight In like manner heere doe I see my selfe rauished in spirit and rapt vp to Heauen the heauen of the most high maiesty of Great Brittain the Epicicle most eleuate of his Royalty That is to the Daix or State of his Throne-royall where I see the God of our Worlde ruling all all the Motions the Aspects the influences the Coniunctions of all the starres in his heauen discerning the fixed from erring and Commets from Plannets to the end that all may shine the better and enioy at length the Heauen of God which is the maine end of all his trauailes and shall be the Crowne of his faire Trophees Hee is seated to bee as yet peaceable the Sword hanging but by his side to declare therby that he would not force the faith that slaughtery butchery and all their massacres with the Phalarian and Neronian torments are to him most horrid and hateful and that their foule treason hath but onely drawne out of his breast a very small spark of Diuine fire Finally that he hath not caused Scaffolds Jibbets and Helles to be erected to handle and punish Traitors according vnto their merits To how many hath hee giuen pardon as that graue and sweete Authour of Tortura Torti as truely as

our Maister Guillaume Let the Laurell wreaths be wrung out of their hands to impale the victorious head of our IAMES truely Triumphant ouer Pagan Idolatrie and Popish Heresie which is the subiect of this my present labour and the whole desseign of this discourse as appeareth in the Frontispice of the main building Thus are His Trophees gathered and limmed through by an vnexperienced Pensill in his victories deriued from the writing of his Royall Aduertisement This is the full ayme of mine intention Religious French-men and that which I desire to shew vnto you Deare Children of Heauen to the end that you may not suffer your selues to bee perswaded in the contrarie by the deceiuing Language subtle Arguings Sophistries and captious arguments of this Doctor Diuinity-destroyer and the discoursing Enthusiaste least of wise French-men you becom with them mad and insensed Galathians The very written book it selfe doth furnish vs with strength sufficient to vanquish and conuince all the answerers of the worlde and their answers not turning any one leafe of his book but it deliuereth many most expresse Texts of the holy Scriptures as many goodly places out of the holy fathers as many Canons of the chiefest Counsellers with many rich strong arguments and al set downe by his Maiesty It is to you Generous French-men that I speake this and to whom I desire to make it manifest for though the speaking or willingnesse to make it knowne to you of my Country should be but in me as lost labor yet must J needs speake it againe beeing no more but what you know what you haue seene and what hath bin published So many mouthes are as so many Trumpets of his greatnesse in great Brittaine so many hearts they are as so many Temples of his vertues and so many soules are as many Vowes and Sacrifices to his faire name Among them J am but as one voice yet now driuen to the vniuersall consort of the whol worlds voices For if my voice could bee vnderstoode from the East to the West from the North to the South nay if it could pierce from this low center of the earth to the highest circumference of the Jmperiall heauen I would cal al Noble Spirits to com to see Idolatry subdued and Heresie vanquished and I would entreate them to beeleue that which I say vnto you for an assured verity whereof Heauen Earth Men and Angels are faithfull and vnreprooueable witnesses My words do sauour rather of the salt of a pure affection then the Oyle of supple flattery My penne shal neuer be Ioabs Dagger to stab Abner backward My life is innocent my heart Christian My tongue to Scottish he is too good and wise a King to bee flattered by any But to accommodate my selfe to the ignoraunce of these insolents who haue made French answeres to a Latine Booke I shall labour to expresse my conceite of their Idiome and imitate as wel as I can the steppes of our French Orators Wherein I will loose no time for excusing my selfe either for my harsh and vnelegant language fearing the reply in elder time made by Cato vnto the Historian Albinus The courteous and Charitable Frenchman in considering the good and free will wherewith I march on in this matter and for his instruction will amiably correct the Errours of my Penne and the Presse which manie in like fauour haue amended in our Language In this affaire their blowes do touch vs their Iests and Sportes do inuite vs their Reasons do driue vs and their daily desires ought to mooue vs. But if any base and creeping soule if anie deiected spirite or if some Monke or Priest shall recreate his leysure by this writing and purge his salt soule of those foule slaunders breathed foorth with so many wry mouthes apish faces with such bending the browes and snuffes in the nose and which no doubt he will vse in reading this worke One Lawrell braunch of MY KING onely shall bee my Warrant from the sparkeling flashes of such false fires and his glorious Name shall serue me as the Shield of Minerua against all their impoysoned Arrowes of Nessus and Philocteres Let euery Momus Zoylus and all insenced Censurers examine this little Booke Letter by letter let them measure the Syllables weigh the Words controule the points and Virgulers let them peruse the Periods count the Pages and turne ouer the leaues I will protest onely for my Apology that I haue taken the Rule Squire Plummet and compasse in forming it only to enform them in a solid truth Wherefore cruell apprehensions bristle not vppe your haires against mee affrighted horrours seeke not to shake my soule anie more panicke terrours leaue my heart at large and my tongue at libertie to the end that I may bidde them Go out go out of Babylon flye from behind her Be not ouerthrowne in her iniquities But publish this with a loude voyce as a Song of

It is you also that shold rather hate him and eate his flesh And what hinders you from doing it Hath not the light of the Gospell already sufficiently enough discouered the frauds of this man of sinne The Spirit out of the mouth of Iesus Christ breathed aboundantly in so many places and yet continuing hath it not already foyled him euen in the most signall parts of his Dominion There is not any Prince or Common-wealth but is weary to see this Tyraunt faire from all obligation of Lawes Equity and Justice to gurmundize and deuoure vp all the Estates of Christendome The Pope seemes to sollicite Heauen and earth euen to his owne ruine and Coniures all Europe to make but one Aesopes Crow All the world is in a shiuering so highly is it offended at his Tyranies and desireth nothing else with vs but one iust Conference and which also is the aduise of Our wise and Learned King Jt is necessary that a good free and lawfull Counsell should bee called and assembled by you Princes and Soueraigne Estates to compound all these dissentions and differences in Religion as being at all times the onely ordinary meanes to abolish Schismes disanull Heresies and to reforme whatsoeuer is amisse in Ecclesiasticall Discipline This is the onely way to restore the wanderers to winne their harts more sensibly and to consolidate the languishing members to the great body of the Church and to revnite the willes of your subiects scattered into factions Such sickly and diseased Spirits doe require a milde and gentle cure the keene edged sword of the worde is that which pierceth into the Soule and the Church instructeth not to persecute but to admonish and informe such as are in error And it seemeth that this way is desired wished and requested by many who do offer to submitte themselues to that which thereby shall be defined concluded and ordained Such a notable occasion is not any way to be contemned Non oportetsi quod omnibus votis petendum erat vltro offertur fastidire An adboue all at this time hauing a Const antine amongst your selues capable to preside as the other did in the Nicene Assemblies the presence of whom is able to dispose of differences to soften the sharpest to restore place peace and concord among all good Fathers not passionate or interessed in strange opinions and to make them happily finish such a desseign worthy of your best furtherance If this happen not in our dayes let vs neuer flatter our selues with any humaine hope of compassing it heereafter Our last ankor is cast hauing such a Prince Vertuous Wise Learned Eloquent Experimented Conquering Victorious wel obeyed Absolute in his kingdome and beyond all this nourished and educated in pietie and in the true seruice of God And now see him among all other Kings in his second Triumphall Chariot like to the Lyon among the other beasts Where wee may see this Lyon in the Armes of MY KING which is the note of his second victory as all they do which behold this Great Salomon vpon his Throne round engirt with Lions These Images do giue them a sudden apprehension as appearing terrible and dreadful to them But when they approach neerer they see that the Lyons are of Golde and as they mount to the feete of the Prince the same Lyons do serue as a guarde and defence In like maner seemeth it to them which a farre off do behold the Lyon Rampant of Scotland that he breatheth forth nothing else but punishments death and desolation but when they com neerer and consider him aduisedly they finde nothing but purity and perfection which is verie solid and most pure and perfect Gold And if they should yet stand in neede of the clemency of My Prince this generous Lyon will serue them as a prop supply and support thereto It is a Lyon Rampant to represent vnto vs the Maiesty of his Maiesty who in strength and furie is a true Lyon when the presumptuous boldnesse of men shall bee such as willingly to reiect his clemency Leo vngiet

wheele or fire violently their consciences But it is to this end that you who do face to face contemplate the diuinity of My King might be the Mediator of such a holy resolution that boldly and with open mouth you would tell him that the whole world expecteth the accomplishment of his aduise either by himselfe or neuer Because that God by his Grace hath adorned him with a singuler supereminent quality of a King not so much in fauour of his Ancestors as he did to the house of Laban for Iacob of Putipher the Egiptian for Ioseph and to Salomon for loue to his Father Dauid as in regard of his owne propper merrites in like maner as he saide to Abraham He foresaw his merit and his dilligence in wel instructing his children and his posterity after him and that hee should acknowledge to holde his Crowne of him and not of any other Wherein we may see that he is King not by the neighing of a horse like to Darius nor by the flight of an Eagle like to Aegon in the Citty of Argos nor by vncertaine report as to Alynomus in the Isle of Paphos nor by the Lance as Caesar was made Emperonr nor by the sword as Seruius nor by tyrany as Nero nor by adoption as Caius Luciius Caesars But by extraction not by election which hee would neuer haue beene how euer Tortus to his Graund tort speakes it But by the Grace of God as his maiestie doth confesse it by inheritance and succession like Octauian bearing the Crowne one way by his byrth as his Thistle declareth and the other by patience as did Marcus Aurelius being both by right of bloud and merite the chiefest Prince It is an high gift of God to com into the world in such a ranke and degree as to beare away a Crown by being borne to it but to deserue it he touch it and thereby to fill the whole world with his name that makes him double woorthy thereof and he rather honoureth the Monarchy then he receiueth any honour thereby But it seemes that they would make him enter into the Lande all shining in felicity by a false doore by feare by hope c. which is not onely to make a commerce of Kingdomes and to Traffique with Scepters but likewise to expose to open sale euen the heauens and soules of men Vaenalia Romae Templa Sacerdotes Altaria Sacra Coronae Ignes Thura Preces Coelum est vaenale Deusque And what is it That the King of Scottes had giuen some hope of his Apostasie from the Religion to be King of England Can any man beleeue it This came from so many Monsters as disloyalty perfidie of those Ministers would builde in the fantastical braines of the Pope and his Cardinals Rather the sun retrograde in the South shall returne and wash his faire locks in the Orientall billows and the earth once more drowned with another deluge shal accuse Iris of lying then My King shoulde or euer did think to promise such a wickednesse That the faith of the Defender of the Faith would so submit it selfe and cause him to yeilde homage to one without faith and makes publick profession of violating all Faith That the promise of a Prince the very abstract of all vertuous Princes should be subiected to the wicked passions or pretences of any whatsoeuer That a puissant Monarchy which could euen then extend her right hand for the terrour of his enemyes and ruine of them as dust resist against his iust right would render vp her Lord King Maister by perfidie or subtilty to establish himselfe in the Fox and forsake the signe of Leo. No no this might easily haue beene done with an Athenian or Melian Diagoras or a Cyrenian Theodorus and many other Empirickes of State who had much rather take part with earth then heauen and who for a messe of Lentill Pottage would turne their backes on God But not with such a Prince as he who from his Cradle hath beene nursed with the bloud and sucke of Lyons I meane in his Religion truely a Christian and which hath taught him that it is the Faith which makes him acceptable in the sight of that great King of Kinges and which also must one day make him Triumph with a Crowne of infinite glory far beyond the ioyes of faigned Elisium It was for the first King of Athens Cecrops to be double as also the Courtier of Phillip King of Macedon who was named Hecateros to bee both the one and other and it fitteth well the Iesuites to equiuocate but not a man of Honour such as My King is who carrieth his hart vpon his tongue and speakes from the bottom of his stomacke as Homer makes his Vlisses to speake immooueable and euermore in full waight vpon his duty both towardes God and men keeping his faith and promises to enemies themselues Verus Israelita in quo dolus non est knowing verie well that God loues no craft cunning and dissembling and affected the Patriarke Iacob so much because he was without all fictions Vir bonus sapiens linguaque pectore verus Iustitiae cultor rigidi seruator honesti A man both good and wise in tongue and minde full true Adoring Iustice coole and calme and naught but honest knew Neuerthelesse to deale and cope with the enuious and perfidious malignity of these calumniators euen at their owne weapons let vs admit that the king had treated of his Religiō before an examining bench at Rome that hee promised to make himself a Papist in intention or wholly at a free leape without shame without piety Christian feare of that great dreadfull day that he would haue forsaken the loue of God the care of his own saluation and of all eternity Shall wee not heere consider that the world that tēporall interses may be made with them for the matter of Religion as a counterband of Marchandize And when all this had bin done where are then his so much vantageable profits Jt should haue bin very small to make the greatnes of his Throne the foot pace of the Pope and miserable were his condition if in sted of hauing heauen for his Aspect the earth for foundation and the sea for limit hee should consent that his scepter Crown must be subiected to the perturbations appetites of a Priest This were to establish another Kingdome in his Kingdome to admitte another King aboue him which would be as prodigious occasion as much hurt as two Suns shining at once in heauen which would ouerthrow all The plurallity of Caesars sayeth an ancient Writer is dangerous and the Poet All greatnesse Royall By no meanes can endure to haue an equall Now I am of the minde that his Royall Maiesty in attributing to himselfe this qualitie or this Title of King doeth vnderstand it also in the same manner as Seneca spake of the Emperiall Greatnesse and Authority It is I saith he vnder the person of a potent
