with the loue feare and obedience of his subjects he becommeth a King of more kingdomes and so from kingdome to kingdome he groweth to be an imperiall and free Monarch over many Countries for him and his posteritie to possesse for ever in the end he leaues his vertues education his good qualities his vpright justice his mercie his compassion on the poore and his loue to all his people to be a mirrour to the rest of earthly Kings one example to his children and a never decaying Ornament to all his Off-spring then last of all he returneth againe to the earth and his soule cloathed with pure innocent whitenes flyeth vp to heaven in the beautifull shape of a bright winged Angell Who shall ascend sayes the Prophet into the mountaine of the Lord and who shall stand in his holy place euen he that hath inuocent hands and a pure heart who hath not in the rage of crueltie sucked the bloud of innocents who hath not suffered the greater powers to oppresse his poore Subjects it is he who extols Iustice and triumphs in mercie O God this man is he whose glorie is great in thy salvation both dignitie and honour hast thou laid vpon him It is thou O Lord who governes all his actions and still instructs his minde what he shall doe Cor regis in manu domini quocunque voluerit inclinabit illud Then thou ô earthly King behold how the great and mightie King of all Kings is thy sure bulwarke his strength guards thee against the malitious mindes of men the poysonnous Calumnie of wicked vipers shall not offend thee nor the subtill hatchers of vnnaturall Treason shall neuer prevaile against thee because God assures thee of thy life in all thy journeyes by day or by night he still sayes vnto thee as he said by the voyce of his Angell to Gideon Peace be vnto thee feare not thou shalt not die How bold may thou be to build vpon this assurance if God be with thee who can be against thee Thy anger is like the roaring of a Lyon he that prouoketh thee to wrath sinneth against his owne soule Who should not tremble at thy furie who should not be afraid to offend thee who dare calumniate a King or yet speake against the vprightnesse of his justice God him selfe giues this straite commaund saying Thou shalt not raile vpon the Iudges neither speake euill of the ruler of the people Then the Apostle Saint Paul tells thee why thou should not doe it Because he is the Minister of God to take vengeance on them that doe euill I say to thee O King Thou earthly God whose ouer-ruling hand The Scepter swayes and doth vnsheath the sword Now seruile Kingdomes stoupes at thy command Who dare controle thy vnrecalled word Thou with great glorie of thy triple crowne Erecks the good and throwes the wicked downe God hath anoynted thee a King and placed thee here on earth to be a God and to doe right to all men without respect of persons God him selfe calls you a God and commaunds you saying Doe right to the poore and fatherlesse doe justice to the poore and needie because I haue said thou art a God And therefore be sure that the great God of heaven will judge you that are Gods on earth remember how he is to craue a most sharpe reckoning at your hands therefore how carefull should thou be ever to discharge thy great and waightie charge which hangs over thy head thou art a ruler of many and many things will be asked of thee respect alwayes the poore more then the ritch and let not the complaints of thy people come to thy eares by the mouthes of thy briberous Minions call the poore complainer before thee stay and heare them with patience and wearie not to examine their wrongs when thy pitty hath pondred their estate Pronounce sentence with thy owne tongue then let thy diligent eye see judgement executed and delay not the poore mans cause nor let no senistrus request recall thy just resolution And so shall the teares of the distressed creatures imbalme thy soule thy righteousnes shall crowne thee and thy mercie shall set thee on the majesticall Throne of Gods eternall glory O remember what thou art where thou art and what thou shalt be as I haue said thou art a King anoynted by God over many people thou art here on earth a Judge and thou art to be called before the tribunall seate of God to giue a reckoning of thy behaviour O then how narrowly should thou looke to thy journey how perrilous is thy Prograce what weightie burthen hangs on thy shoulders what continuall fashires what incomprehensible care and what great memorie craues thy carefull estate With eyes of wisedome governe thy sight about thy selfe and if thou chance to see sheltred vnder thy owne wings the deceitfull parasite the male-contented Mutenar the murmuring whisperer the detracker of honestie the invier of vertue the ambitious oppressour or the vnmercifull briber then if thou finde such caterpillars about thee sweepe them away because they are consuming cankers to thy state bloud-suckers of innocents vessels of treason and sworne enemies to the true Vnion of thy Kingdomes O sayes the great King of wisedome Take away the wicked men from the King and his throne shall be stablished in righteousnes Shake off all kinde of such infectious scabs and purge thy companie of such pestiferous euils keepe ever with the men of truth and place such men in office as feares God and loues thee Let graue and honourable counsailours conduct thee and guard thy selfe with them Commaund thou them as God hath commaunded all you that are Kings Say ye shall haue no respect of persons in judgement but shall heare the small as well as the great ye shall not feare the face of man for the judgement is Gods Thou art the Lieutenant of God therfore thou should looke well to thy officers and how they are enclined A true and faithfull subject who doth the will of his King is worth the halfe of his Kings kingdom O sayes Salomon the joy and pleasure of a King is in a wise servant He putteth the charge of him selfe in his hands he is the pillar of his state and executes the actions of his King with a sincere equitie It is not birth that makes thy subject noble or honourable The originall of Nobilitie is like a small spring which good desert makes the gratefull favour of a King to enlarge to a great river which by bound dutie ought to pay their dutifull tribute to the King their Ocaean but how many are they that becomes ingrate and swels with pride ambition envie treason sedition and emulation they become rebellious flouds overflowes their banks and in dispersing them selues looses their name and becomes ignominious to the world When such men beholds their owne ruine and swift destruction which blinde pride did never looke for then how may

Paul prouoke not your children to wrath Meaning be over great austeirnes when Parents and Children liues all in peace and quyetnes and in charitable concord O how good a thing is it saieth the Scripture and how joyfull is it to see brethren and sisters and the whole family to liue in loue and peace they eate their bread with sweete contentment and spends their dayes in great happines But woe be to seditious tail-tellers to leying lippes to harkners and rounders to back-byters and slanderers who are sowers of dissention and with their wicked and malitious tongues are inventers of

stormie tempests this shall be the portion of their cup with many more greevous and endlesse torments which are provided for detracters and slanderers All beastes are tamde be man but the tongue no man can tame it is an vnruely euill full of deadly poysone Contentment is great wealth and sobreatie with loue is better then Kingdomes with strife I had rather dwell with a Lion then keepe house with a wicked wife And againe saith the Scripture A wicked wife maketh a sory heart an heauy countenance and a wounded minde wake hands and feeble knees and can not comfort her husband in hauines Can any

Lyons bitten with hunger the Tiger robd of her young-ones are not more cruell and fearce then an angry woman Melior est iniquitas viri quam mulier benefaciens There should be no vp-casts betwixt the man and the woman as to say thou art come of this or of that we are all the children of Adam and also what ever secretes are amongst them should not be reveild were the occasion never so great Many times great mischief hes bred of such things for this cause woman shuld not be curious of the mans perticular affairs Sampson being maried with the vncircumcised Philistanes his wife did never rest but importuned him to knowe his secrets and then she reveiled all to his great harme The wise man Salomon sayeth A vertuous woman is the crowne of her husband but she that maketh him ashamed is as corruption in his bones But many times it falles out that the man is author of his shame blowing and sounding abroad the Trumpet of his owne ignomy in this respect that when he knoweth a particular imperfection to predominat in his wife he will not be secrete but makes the world pointe their fingers at his turpritude when he is to come home he should send word before and tell he comes and if his minde assure him that Occupata ela stanza then should he be very ware to enter his house vpon a suddainty least he catch a moat in his eye and then his eie-sore will sting his heart with impatience turning all the misty-clouds of his darke doubts in a clear-shining verity it will bring Jelousie to a true and perfite resolution it will giue him possession of Hornes and so by this meanes it inrolles him amongst the Cathegory of voluntary Cuck-colds then must he maintaine a back-dore for the ingresse and egresse of his wifes vulgare actions A sentenall must haue a good eare a quick eie

returnes hopeles to end his seeming endlesse journey with a dissembling courage and a heartles cry he comforts his company So good Reader I am forced heere obruptly to break off for so long as this Subject is the load-star of my discourse I think and am assured that my Ship shall never arryue to the sight of Capa dell buena asperanza Then in despaire I bid this large Ocaean fare-well for this fearfull and tempestuous storme threatens Ship-wrack I must stand by my Taik-ling shut my Rudder a lee and seeke vp for the next shoare Away vaine world thou Oaecan of annoyes And welcome Heauen with thy eternall joyes O How farre beholde doeth it goe beyond the reatch of mans capacitie to ponder the great and wondrous workes of GOD when we meditate vpon his miracles to see the frame of every thing presenting such strange objects this large prospect of Heaven and Earth the admirable operations of every thing which hath bene wroght and still works in the swift course of time and when we
