Emperour who haue beene so acceptable to the Gods as they haue chosen me for their Lieutenant on earth It is I that second them It is by my mouth that they pronoūce their determinations immoueable and the good or euil fortunes of men For beside the authorities and prerogatiues in common which his maiesty hath with other Kinges that they are rich in quantity hauing this quality as being happy in hauing this quality as being happy in hauing this contentment to say I will and it is doone I desire and the desire is accomplished That the very winke of the eye makes them to be vnderstood the least changing of their lookes procureth execution of their will and that they can wish nothing more in earth because he that is a King is All according to the aunswere of King Porus yet ouer and aboue these perticuler aduantages which GOD hath giuen him as making the Kings of Persia by the right of their eldest children this word KING doth shew vs his faith pure and cleane towards God by his Charitie fatherly loue vnto his Subiects and his prouidence in the affaires of his Crowne For in our French Language it consisteth of 3. Letters ROI and also in Latine REX as the primordials and Radicall Letters of the Haebrewes and of one Syllable which simbolizeth in some sort with the most holy and Sacred Ternarie or Trinity First for the Letter R. according to the considerations which concern Socrates in the Cratylis of Plato it signifieth vnto vs his continuall action and exercise of duty for the acquitting of his charge as the toong remoueth strongly without any stay in the pronouncing it O denoteth the roundnes which he equally vseth towards euery one which as it is round equal euen without any points or corners to carry it out abroad so it sheweth that Our King is perfectly round seeing that his words and actions do concord and that both to one other he goes in full rotundity plainnesse and sincerity speaking euermore with a round mouth As J doth also represent his lenity and mildnesse by a facile and very gracious prolation And according to the Traditions of the Cabalists the Letter RESH doth infer that hee is King by succession and instructeth vs that Hereditary kingdomes are much better instituted then those which bee elected where the combustions of suites and partialities do often times cause them to turne their backes on their enemies with extreame affliction and ruine of the people O is as the eie which he lendeth to al and ouer all in imitation whereof the Egiptians in their Hierogliphicks did represent royalty by an Eye placed vppon the top of a Scepter I wherof al the Hebrew Letters are composed and which by the same means constituteth the number of ten the perfection resting place and accomplishment of all other numbers doth signifie thereby that all the parts and members of his kingdome do depend intirely vpon him wherefore al ought to bee referred to his safety and preseruation Thus passing these mystical Interpretations and significations of these three Letters to that which might result frō their diuers Anagrams Metathesis and Renuersements according to the Tmurah and Siruphs of the Haebrewes Our King as Philo saieth in the life of Moyfes is a Soule-like Lawe and his Law is Our just-Iust-King they are so bound by the girdle of the Graces and ioyned together by Iustice Iustitiae cupidus recto non deuius vnquam Desire of Iustice neuer swerues from right For although Cato was woont to say that a King was a rauenous Beast that hee liued not but by his prey and on Venison or wilde food yet can not it so be said of Our King seeing hee contents himselfe with a small circumference not insulting vpon his Neighbors or Strangers Neuer did any man hear in him that ouerbold wish of the Emperor Maximilian by the report of Phillip de Commines to bee a God And that his Sonne might be King of France His desire and the chiefest degree of his Title is to be called King of Great Brittain which is the kingdom of the Church of God his part and portion which he hath chosen in earth the kingdome which succeedeth to the Kingdome of Iuda This is the Christian kingdom wherein euen to the very least or vulgar cannot else-where bee found a people more deuout and Religious Piety and Religion are there so zealously and so often exercised In breefe It is the Land of Promise which God reserued to himselfe in Christendome where he hath so long time kept the Booke open and the Reuelation of his Prophetick and Euangelicall Mysteries God himselfe Husbanded the Garden of that Country and tooke thee euen measures thereof hauing enguirt it with the great Ocean As concerning the forme of the Island according to the opinion and descriptiō of Caesar it is triangulare whereof one way is opposit and faceth France and containeth on that side about sixe score and fiue leagues or miles in length Another looketh towardes Spaine and that longitude is an hundered and sixty miles The third is opposed to the North drawing most part towardes Germanie and it is thought that this way it containeth well tvvo hundred good miles So that the whole Isle may haue some fiue hundred miles in circuite It hath a very serene and faire Hauen and the habitation there is much more temperate then in France and the colds are lesse sharp violent Gallia trieme frigidior by the iudgment of Petronius and in mine vnderstanding so it is at this instant In that Countrey are not to bee seene the intollerable heats of Egypt no more then the Ices of Sarmatia all is temperate all is cultiue and all thinges are fruitfull there in aboundance Non illic Aries verno ferit aëra cornu nec Gemini praecedunt cornua Tauri Sicca Lycaonius resupinant plaustra Bootes It hath a copious Sunne Corne Cloath Wools Waters Beastes Fish Foule and all kindes of wilde flesh in most great facility and felicity Shee hath euen in her selfe her India and her Peru not onely of Time and of Iron as in the time of Caesar but likewise of Golde and Siluer therefore she vseth not any money of Copper Brasse or Annelets of Iron added to euen poize but all fine Gold and Siluer And such is hir abounding in al kinds of riches and in all thinges necessary for man as in due right she is confirmed by the Maister of Treasures to be the first and principall of the fortunate Islands She hath made plaine and smooth the backe of Thetis by the number of her goodly great Shippes and Vesselles which doe serue her as bornes as limits as ramparts and as wals And she is called Great not for the extendure of her Landes Countryes and Prouinces not so much for infinit multitude of people for the great number of her Cities Towns Borroughs and villages as for the greatnesse of courage in her Inhabitants who neuer leaue

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

Prophesies bee vnderstoode The one of Cataldus Finius which is more then a thousande yeares since Iste solus Clare aperiet librum scriptū digito Dei viui He onely shall euidently open the book written with the finger of the liuing God As plainly appeareth by his Learned Preface The other of Sybilla on the destruction of Antechrist Miserum inde tempus quia linum ipsum perdet Miserable in time shall he be because linnen or a Lyne shall destroy him By Linnen his Maiesties Booke is vnderstoode the Paper whereof is made of olde decayed linnen Or else the Line or Cord is threatned thereby to hang him vp according to the example of Achitophel His Scepter which is in his right hand is not of wood made fast with Iron nayles as were the ancient Scepters in Homer Virgil nor yet of Juory such as the Kings of Rome carried and sent to their Kindred and friendes nor of Ebony like that of the Jndians nor of Iron Copper or Siluer but of fine Golde like that of Marke Anthonie in Florus and such as Ahasuerus stretched foorth to Hester in the Bible to shew vs that his is one of the verie Noblest Scepters in the world As His length plainly telleth vs that euen so shall his power extend it selfe and make it selfe to be felt very farre off It beareth on the top not any Eagle like that of the Tarquins nor a Crosse as that did of Constantines nor yet a Storke or the straunge beast liuing in the Riuer Nylns called Hippopotames as others haue caried nor yet a hand like to that of France But a Lilly or Flowerdeluce thereby to assure vs that his power and manner of gouernment is full of sweetnesse mildnesse and good order The most precious garment of his Trophies is a Royal Mantle or Cloake the onely sacred ornament of Kings for the more sumptuous decking of potent Maiesty made of Veluet Azure and Gold which are the onely sightly things that can be vsed in the habit of princes It traineth along vpon the ground after him to expresse the amplitude of his royall benignity being called of God to couer not onely the members of his owne estate from the Tiranny of Antichrist but likewise those people that are strangers and of other Countries His colours vnder are of Scarlet and white as the Spouse in the Canticles saieth That her Best-beloued is all white and Vermillion white in Innocency Red Vermillion in Charity For euery colour else looketh pale and deade or looseth his beauty being neere to these yea though it be Purple twice dipt in his tincture As in like maner the religion of Popery doth being compared with that which Our King embraceth as being without both sound and luster vanishing of it selfe away euen as dusky clouds do before the beames of the worlds greatest light The White of this Mantle royall is Ermins which are more perfect in faire luster then any other and those furies do testifie not the coldnesse of his Original countrey as some haue scornfully saide but his generous and resolued grauitie as full of bounty As the skin of little blacke spots Admonishing vs thereby that there is nothing so prosperous but sometime it meeteth with sinister accident as the Ermine which is white ouer all the body and yet directly on the top of his tail hath that smal touch or mark of blacknes Vnder this Mantle or Cloake he weareth the Palmata Toga or Dalmatian Vesture proper to some Ministeriall Office because the sleeue reacheth so far as the elbow only The which may teach and perswade vs that in despight of the Pope of Anabaptists of al haire-brain'd mutinous opiniotiue and frantique Preachers whome his Maiesty calleth and vnderstandeth to bee Puritanes onely hee is an absolute Monarch as well of the Spirituall as of the Temporall euen as in elder times the Caliphes were and that in him is verified the saying of the Poet Rex Anyus Rex idem hominem Phoebique Sacerdos King Anyus is the same man King and yet Apollos Priest For Kinges are the Coombes of the Estate belonging to God euen as well as of that appertaining to their kingdomes and their Authority is the bases and foundation which vpholdeth the Church in fauour and regard whereof they were at first established by God who had neuer created or preserued the worlde but for this respect onely They haue like power therin as Iosias had and like preheminence as Constantine who published himself Byshop of exteriour occasions They haue I say Soueraign iurisdiction ouer Prelates to keepe an eye vpon their Discipline on the manners or behauiour of the Clergy to take acknowledgement of their differences Which is very easie to be proued as wel by Testimonies and solid Reasons as by the examples and effectes of all most venerable Antiquitie Finally Our King in signe of diligence that he shal very shortly triumph in all trueth Iustice and power euen as far as that proude Tarpeiane Tower To kil the Dragon and deliuer the male childe from his throat as manifestly appeareth by the Angell mounted vppon the white horse to whom was giuen the Crown of victory He is circkled with a Girdle of Golde hanging before his breast which is The Collar of Saint George which was not forgotten by the Romaines themselues of the round Table speaking of the two Dragons white and red deliuered out of prison by Merlin in the time of k. Vter Pendragon father to King Arthur who after a long deadly fight the white at length ouercame the red And now we may see a second surprize them That reiected Esau otherwise called Edom which signified the Red Dragon that old vsurper that Tyraunt ouer so many Nations the Pope himselfe commeth to the succour of his vanquished Legions with two Breeues and a Letter from the Cardinal Bellarmine which are Gerions with three bodies or Cerberus with three heads and throats casting fire out at the eyes the nose the mouth They would faine fasten on Our white King Iames the Childe of Blessednesse euen in his Cabinet and pursue him thence to his Bed-chamber in seeking to set free all his Subiects from their obedience to him yea and to turne his very housholde Seruants from their duty Monarchy being not so pleasing to his tast as Aristocratie Order as Anarchie Behold how Our King dealt in this manner with them as others haue done in the like To day for him to morrow for them And their to morrow should haue bin much neerer if they coulde haue attained to what they pretended But his Maiesty stopt their way with a Mattock and a Wedge as the Romaine Captaine said or in applying Triplici nodo Triplicem Cuneum in cleauing a Triple knot of Iron with a Triple wedge of Brasse or in cutting The Gordian knot with the sword of Alexander His Apologie verily and of good right ought to be helde for the support defence Rampant and Fortresse of all the Kings Monarkes
