Scipio to whom he fully deuoted himselfe as one whose soule rested in Scipioes bodie the like sayd Hyra King of Tyre of Salomon King of Israel But neither Hyra with his Sydonians was more grateful to Salomon King of Israel nor Masinissa with his Numidians more louing to Scipio the Romane Consul than Christianus King of Denmarke was to Iames King of great Britane whom neither heauens earth nor seas neither Kingdomes nor Court could keepe that louing King from his loue to come from Denmark as a crowned starre of the North to shine in England and to come to celebrate and to renew the name of great

the triumphes thereof haue their euerlasting tropheis Among such what needs such leagues and couenants to dippe our weapons in blood as the Scythians did or die our clothes in blood as the Armenians did or to drinke blood out of our armes as the Medians and Lydians did Sith the league between great Britane and Denmarke is consecrated with inward blood of mutuall hearts and confirmed with the entrals and bowels of naturall Parents that two Sunnes may be sooner found to agree in the skie than these two Kings to disagree on earth This God hath appointed nature confirmed fates allowed and fortune thereto agreed Hence grow the cause of our publicke Iubilies and crowned feasts our dayly tropheis and perpetuall triumphes that as the Romans loued and agreed with the Sabins yeelding thanks to their God in the Feast Consualia so the Britanes with the Danes yeelding thanks to their God Iehouah in their Feasts Scaenopegia The Choyse of Iewels THE Empire of Women and Courts of Queenes euen frō Semiramis time haue gouerned countries and kingdomes subdued Realmes ruled States and brought vnder their obeysance both Kings and kingdomes as also before Semiramis time it may ●ee●e probable for that Asia the greatest part of the world was named Asia by a Queene of that name which then dwelt in Asi● whose fame continued vntill Semiramis the second Empresse whose martiall exploytes and gouernment hath been such if authorities may serue as neither Alexander the great could exceede in magnanimitie nor Cyrus in victories nor Xerxes in multitude of souldiers Wee leaue the Court of
