assistance and neglected his God he might in common reason haue promised himselfe the victory being double in forces and nothing inferior either in valor or policy but hee acknowledged and confessed the power of the most powerful he knew that it was not the multitude of men but God that giueth the victory And therefore hauing first made peace with his owne soule he humbled himselfe and asked pardon of those ouer whom he had gouernment knowing no gouernment to be so perfect wherein some good men are not offended This was the effect of his compunction to put him in remembrance that Princes are mortall and that his being a King bound him to a more strict reckoning then one that enioyeth a lesser Farme Now whether this mercifull remembrance of God disgraceth him iudge ye that haue grace But now both battailes being ioyned what did this valiant King Did he onely stand to giue directions to others No he did rigorous execution with his sword vpon his enemies Did he when he perceiued some of his Subiects disloyally to reuolt and that his forces were put to the worst thinke vpon yeelding or flight Though by some of his faithfullest seruants he was counsailed to flie and for that purpose presented with a Horse of wonderfull speed yet hee would not for hauing been inured to conquest he scorned to yeeld hauing been a King he would not die a vassall and therefore because the garland was a Crowne the prize a Kingdome victory Maiestie and perpetual renowne the reward this Lyon-hearted King couragiously charging his speare ran into the Battalion of his aduersaries where with his owne hands hee slew the stout Sir william Brandon Standard-bearer of his enemy he ouerthrew the strong and valiant Sir Iohn Cheney and singled out his Competitour who beeing the most Heroick and valiant Prince of those times yet had doubtlesse been slaine had not he been rescued by S. William Stanley who came happily with three thousand men to his rescue who on all sides encompassing King Richard so assayled him that though he did more then a man though his Sword acted wonders yet beeing oppressed by so great a multitude hee was there manfully slaine not ouercome for hee conquered the betraiers of men in danger passion and feare Thus lost he both kingdome and life but nothing diminished his interiour vertues When the adiudged punishment is performed our Laws do account the offender as cleere of the crime as if he neuer had committed it Why should this common benefit be denied a King since if guilty his bloud made restitution and being dead his royall body was dispoyled of all kingly ornaments left naked and not only vnroyally but inhumanely and reprochfully dragged Yet neither can his bloud redeeme him from iniurious tongues nor the reproch offered his body be thought cruell enough but that we must still make him more cruelly infamous in Pamphlets and Playes Compare him now iudicious Reader impartially with other Princes iudge truely of all their actions their forme of gouernment and their Statutes and ordinances the vpholders the strength the sinewes of gouernment and thou shalt find him as innocent of cruelty extortion and tyranny as the most as wise politike and valiant as any if so censure him his actions his ordinances according to their deserts and this Treatise of mine as a charitable well-wishing to a scandalized and defamed king Yet for all this know I hold this but a Paradox FINIS THE PRAYSE OF THE FRENCH POCKES IT is the complaint of an ancient writer Nulla tam modesta foelicitas est quae malignitatis dentes vitare possit There was neuer any felicity whether moderately seasoned or compleat in perfection so happy that could auoyde the griping teeth of enuie and backbiting Out of which naturall in-bred malice men doe not sticke to defame and discredit the most noble and illustrious disease of the French Pocks and to wrong those that be the worthy subiects in whom they reside insomuch that the very mention of them is so noysome and offensiue and doth so much ouercome their stomacks as the naming of the things which are the purgings of the belly and are within the ward and bailiweeke of the girdle Whereas the name of the Pocks is of so reuerend estimation and foundeth so pleasingly in the eares of them that are not passionate that euen Diana her selfe whom the Paynims adored for their Goddesse of Chastity and honesty tooke her name from them whom the Latines cal Bubones the French Bubes and the Spanish Buvas so is she called Bubastis Yea the famous starre Böötes which guides Charles his waine admits these syllables into his name and is called Bubulco And why then should men here on earth thinke skorne of this name which is well brooked by stars of the first magnitude and Goddesses of the fairest beauty But because Deriuations doe many times driue words out of fashion and a notation of names is of all the Artificiall Arguments in Logick one of the weakest lest by seeking to lift the Pasty by one end we marre all let vs fasten vpon some thing more materiall and from the originall of the word come to the beginning of the thing Amongst those rich treasures which Christopher Columbus brought home into Spaine after his discouery of the Indyes one of the chiefest was the Pockes For in his Fleete amongst other fraught were wafted ouer certaine Indian Women with whose happy conuersation the Castilians came home plentifully furnished with this holy contagion Holy I call it because the cure of it is that which they call lignum sanctum or Guaiacum Holy for the place where it is healed which is the Hospitall called by the French Maison-Dieu holy because they are great helpes to make them that haue them Saints For whosoeuer shall behold the outward mortification of a pocky companion the delicacie of the tone of his voyce his pale and meagre face his wanne colour and his whole body broken and disioynted that a man may shake all his bones together in his skinne and lastly shall see him wholy made a very picture and painted table of repentance hee may see sufficient tokens at least wise of apparant holinesse for you neuer see fat panches and plumpt cheekes and idle fellowes euer admitted into the schoole of repentance nor into the Stewes the workehouse of Courtizans nor in the Hospitall and Lazer-house of the Pock-rotten aduenturers Among the three Capitall enemies which with fire and sword doe assaile the soule the greatest of them which is the flesh is wholy subdued by the Pocks because by them it is made vnable to exercise any vnlawfull act Is there any thing in the world that doth more open the gates to holinesse then to take away the occasions of sinning and what is there that hath more efficacie to withdraw a man or a woman from occasions of euill then this holy leaprosie for if a woman know that a man hath the Pocks she flies from him
