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 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
