the cause of this strange distemperature in the Nature and Dispositions of men I leave as a depth not now to be searched into CHAP. VIII The Vanitie of some mens Ambition in Titles and Honours WHen Seneca saw the excesse and abuse of Bathes in Rome no lesse witty then truly hee complained saying Postquam munda Balnea inventa sunt spurciores sunt qui lavant Since cleane and scowring Bathes were invented they that wash themselves are become fowler and more filthy Not much unlike was that saying of Pope Boniface When wee used wooden Chalices wee had golden Priests but now having golden Chalices wee have wooden Priests May not the like be truly said of the Ambition of some men concerning their foolish thirsting after Names Honors and Titles The time was when vertuous men laboured to excell each other by Merit and deserving well of their Countries or Common vvealths The Emperour Trajan otherwise a good Prince was sicke of this Disease who upon whatsoever hee builded or repaired would set up a glorious superscription in Honor of himselfe whereupon saith Aurelius Victor Constantine the Emperour was wont to call him Herbam Parietariam for his so many Titles upon every Wall and new houses Ammianus Marcellinus also compareth with Trajan one Lampadius a great person also who saith Marcellinus tooke it ill at any mans hand if hee did not commend him every time he spet upon the ground adding this also Another Example of his Vanitie Per omnia enim civitatis membra c. In every part of the Citie where other great men had bestowed cost in building he would set up his owne Name not as a repairer of the worke but as the chiefe builder Quo vitio dicitur laborasse Trajanus unde herbam parietinam jocando cognominarunt Somewhat a kinne to these former follies was that of the Emperour Constantius reported by the said Author who many times would send his Letters unto the Senate interwoven and dressed up with Laurell concerning his notable Victories egregiously belying himselfe with an hatefull bragging of that hee never did how hee was among the formost in the battell how hee had obtained the victorie and taken Captive Kings kneeling unto him and craving his mercie when hee never came at the battell or durst venture himselfe there Hereunto belong those foolish attributes the Turks Persians and other Barbarians take unto themselves who call themselves Brothers of the Sonne borne before Lucifer King of Kings the Scourges of God as Tamberlane in a wicked and franticke kind of Blasphemie Which kind of madnesse in Arsaces the Persian Fl. Vespasian heartily laughed at as Xiphilinus mentioneth It was a great signe that Darius his ruine to be at hand in his proud Embassie unto Alexander when by his Embassadour hee called himselfe The King of Kings and Cozen of the Gods but for Alexander hee called him his Servant Paulus Iovius vvriting of Pompeio Colonna Bishop of Reatino saith That when the said Bishop by the meanes of many great personages was reconciled againe and brought into favour with the said Pope whom he had formerly offended and that when they signified so much unto him in a short Letter in whose superscription Bishop of Reatino by chance was left out he receiving the Letter threw it away and bad the Messenger goe seek some other Pompeio to whom that Letter was directed Very sarcasticall and bitter was that which wee reade of Francis the first King of France returned to that magnanimous Emperour and of famous memorie Charles the fift at what time they being at warre each with other when the Emperour according to his greatnesse writing to the said King and having filled up a large space of the Paper with his long stile and imperiall Titles of his Dominions and Territories belonging to the house of Austria the French King very bitingly filled up in answer as large a space in his Letter by the often repetition of France as Francis the first King of France of France of France c. adding withall That his Kingdome of France was sufficient to encounter with and subdue if need were all the Emperours Kingdomes and Provinces for in times past petty Kingdomes carried large Titles as at this day how are those Kingdomes esteemed of Sicilie Naples Toledo Granado Sclavonia Dalmatia Sardinia Corsica Croatia Many pettie Princes have larger Territories To conclude it was excellently answered and to be immitated of all moderate Princes Aelius Lampridius hath left recorded of Alexander Severus whom when all Titles of Honor and Dignitie were heaped upon him after the Romane Custome aswell by the Senate as the people it is reported that hee answered most modestly It displeaseth mee much to assume unto my selfe that which belongeth unto others againe I find my selfe to be over-laden with your love and good-wils for these glorious Names are very burdensome unto mee Whereupon the Historian addeth his owne censure The Emperour gat more Honor in not receiving Titles appertaining to others then if hee had taken them upon him and hereby for ever after hee gained to himselfe the reputation not onely of a grave and moderate but of a wise man CHAP. IX Of the ancient Triumphs among the Romanes THe first who is reported ever to have rode in Triumph was Bachus after him in Rome Romulus who sending his Captives before him followed himselfe after on foot after him his whole Armie Tullus Hostilus rode on Horse-backe L Tarquinius Priscus rode in a Charret of foure wheeles M. Curius Camillus was drawne with foure white Horses whom all after him imitated The day appointed for the solemnitie of a Triumph was kept Festivall through the whole Citie all the Temples being set wide open and all the Nobilitie providing in their houses the greatest Cheere they could make insomuch as the whole Armie was abundantly feasted The whole Senate went unto the gate Capena in their Robes to meet and entertaine the Triumpher by which Port or Gate he was to enter in afterwards they went together into the Capitoll then followed all the Trumpeters sounding to the Charge as if they were presently to fall on upon the Enemie after came Charriots laden with the Spoiles of the conquered Enemies there followed then goodly Statues and curious Tables of Brasse or Ivorie Also Towers and formes of such Cities as they had taken also a representation of the forme and manner of their fight with their Enemie Afterwards followed all the Silver Brasse and Gold together with Statues Tables Candlesticks Platters Dishes Trenchers Basons of Gold and Silver taken from the Enemie Likewise Jewels Purple costly Garments of cloth of Gold with Crowns of Silver and Gold which were given to the Victor then all sorts of Armes taken from the Enemie as Swords Speares Pollaxes Bucklers Brest-plates Helmets Tasses and the like After were brought the Gifts bestowed upon the Triumpher as Gold and Silver brought by some thousands of people then came other Trumpeters whom followed fifty or about

III. Of that admirable Alteration or Change which is every five hundred yeares as well in the Church as in everie Common-wealth As also of the contrary Fortunes of certaine Kingdomes under Princes of the same Name IT is marvellous and a remarkable thing in Histories that at the ende of every five hundred yeares there are great Changes and Alterations in States whereof I bring you these examples The Assyrians possessed Asia five hundred yeares afterwards the Assyrians beeing driven out the Medes possessed the same The Kingdome of Athens continued foure hundred ninetie yeares from Cecrops unto Codrus from that time of a Monarchie it became a Democracie As many yeares flourished the Common-wealth of the Lacedemonians which being brought to a forme by Lycurgus fell to ruine under Alexander the Great Five hundred yeares passed from the expulsion of the Romane Kings unto the time of Augustus the Emperour under whom was a Monarchie established when formerly the Roman Common wealth was mixed of an Aristocracie and a Democracie It was about five hundred yeares from the time that Constantine the Great translated the seate of the Empire to Constantinople to the time of Charles the Great under whom the Empire was divided and the Romane Eagle which formerly had but one head now was allowed two and so became a Monster From the battell of Actium which assured to Augustus the Empire of the West unto Valentinian the last of the Romane Emperours are likewise numbred five hundred yeares This vvas Valentinian the third and last Emperour of the West untill Charles the Great although after him many would be called Emperours albeit they possest scarse a very small part of Italy Moreover the Church of God under the Gospell everie five hundred yeares hath found a great change and alteration In the first five hundred yeares from the birth of our Saviour Christ the Church shone in her puritie and Discipline severely exacted albeit toward the end of this Period it grew more remisse In the next following five hundred yeares Falshood so contended vvith Truth Superstition with sinceretie of the Faith Ambition in the Clergie with Christian Humilitie that by degrees crept in and gathered head the Invocation of the Dead Worshipping of Images Adoration of the Eucharist those dreames of Purgatorie and the Primacie of the Romane Bishops with the like Then came the third Period wherein those named abuses and errors that before did bud now grew ripe yeelding unsavourie and bitter fruit the Authoritie of the Emperours abated and vilified Pardons established and confirmed The Apostolicall Doctrine of the saving Grace of God and the Merit of Christ Jesus little valued in the roome whereof crept in the Merits of Saints Workes of Supererogation Cowles Rosaries Beades Holy water and other such like vvhich vvere defended and maintained by the Monks with no lesse impudencie than impietie and in this Period the Papacie was at the height But in the fourth Period of five hundred yeares God respecting and in mercie looking downe upon his Church hee raised up learned and godly men who reducing the Church to her former puritie overthrew the Romish Idolatrie and bridel●d the Popes Tyranny as all the world knoweth Thus wee see every five hundred yeares there hath beene a change in the outward or visible Church of God although the Elect in all Ages of the Church have evermore laid fast hold upon the Rocke whereupon they were built and founded But observe another thing no lesse wonderfull that is under Kings and Princes of the same name how the fortune and estate of their Kingdomes hath fallen out to have beene quite contrarie The Kingdome of the Persians grew up and increased under one Darius under another Darius it was ruined The Kingdome of Macedonia was greatly augmented and indeed grew first famous under Phillip the Father of Alexander the same Kingdome under Phillip the Father of Perseus came to decay The Easterne Empire began with Constantine and ended with Constantine Palaeologus that it was truly said a Constantine was to that famous and renowned Empire the Rise and the Ruine I could here alleage examples of nearer and our owne times but it would not be so pleasing Surely the Providence of God governing all things hath set certaine bounds and limits to worldly promotions and will have nothing to be certaine upon earth that mindfull of our mortall and uncertaine estates we should not be proud but alwaies aspire and seeke after that certaine Good wherein is no mutability which is God himselfe CHAP. IV. Of those Locusts which the Scripture saith John Baptist did eate where beside many admirable things are reported of strange and unaccustomed meats MAny do wonder what ●he Evangelist S. Matthew might meane where hee saith Saint Johns meat in the Wildernesse were Locusts supposing it to have beene a most absurd thing and in a manner impossible withall taking the word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which the Evangelist useth either for the tender tops of Herbes Crabbes or wilde Peares but by their leaves they are farre deceived For no Greeke Author hath said or example can be brought that ever 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 was taken for any thing else then a Locust and so named as Grammarians and Etymologists say 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 But some may say the nature of man abhorreth from the eating of Locusts indeed no if the Taste may be judge but it may be as also all other meats they may be loathed of some be it so In the Law of Moses Locusts were allowed of to be eaten which surely had not beene done except they had beene good and fitting for meat The Parthians as Plinie tels us fed upon them as dainties among their other meats Also Strabo affirmeth That the Aethiopians lived most upon Locusts And our Country-man venerable Bede tels us out of Archulphus who had travelled all Palaestina over That Locusts were most common there being in shape of body small and short not much unlike to a mans little finger which being taken and found
very thicke whose chiefe commendation is that the smell hereof if you carry it about you drawes any Woman though passing by you and minding other things to draw neere unto you saith Philip Beroaldus upon Apul●ius lib. 2. Milesiac and which is affirmed also by manie others CHAP. XII Of Balsamum BAlsamum being more famous by Report then knowne is the juice of a certaine Tree growing in Iury in the valley of Iericho like unto a Vine these Plants except counterseit are not now any where to be found they say the Turke hath some few in Aegypt from which every yeare hee receiveth onely some few drops of the Liquor else are they to be found in no part of the World For when the Turkes enemies of all goodnesse and civilitie destroyed all the Vineyards in and about Iericho withall they cut downe these Plants for since they were never found in that Countrie and therefore no true Balsame is brought into Europe if happily some there be it is not worth the speaking of Yet I have heard some affirme there have been some of these Balsame Plants found in the West Indies but I much doubt of that it may be some other Tree affording a medicinable Liquor as there are many like unto the other For this aforenamed true Balsamum grew no where but in Iury in the valley of Iericho in two large Gardens which belonged onely unto the King as it was like a Vine so it was planted like unto our Vines by setting the slippings into the Earth but whereas the Vine had props to guide it the Balsamum had none Within three yeares after the planting it brought forth the fruit the height of it being growne was not fully two Cubits among all other unguents for goodnesse Balsamum hath the preheminence because also it excels all other for sweetnesse of smell the juice or liquor is called Opobalsamum Hir suto spirant Opobalsamo collo saith Iuvenal Xylobalsamum is the Wood of the body or of the branch which the Shops sometimes substituted for the liquor the chiefe vertue is attributed to the Juice the next to the Seed the third to the Barke the least of all to the Wood. The triall of true Balsame is to put it into Milke which it will presently turne to a curd and if any drop chanceth to fall upon a Garment it will leave no spot or staine behind Dioscorides saith When the Liquor was to be drawne forth the body was cut with small clawes of iron Which Claudian also affirmeth in Epithal Palladii Gemmatis alii per totum Balsama tectum Effudêre cadis duro quae saucius ungue Niliacus pingui desudat vulnere cortex Plinie Solinus and Tacitus rather affirme the veines of the Tree to be opened with Glasse a sharpe Stone or with Knives of Bone averring the nature of the Tree cannot abide iron but presently dieth if you cut it never so small a depth Strabo also affirmeth this Plant to have beene peculiar to the Land of Iury onely it hath the name Balsamum from the Arabian word Balsamin that is The Lord or Prince of Oyles And wee find it in Exodus to be Aromatum praestantissimum by this the Iews gained to themselves great riches as Iustine the Epitomizer of Trogus affirmeth The place where it grew was but two hundred acres of ground which was with Mountains like the wals of a Castle enclosed round they sweat out their Balsame but at one certaine time of the yeare and one thing is to be admired of the place where these Trees grow when all the Country round about by reason of the nearnesse of the Sunne was extremely hot in this Vale onely the Ayre was ever temperate and refreshing with a shady coolnesse CHAP. XIII What Studies and Exercises best become Princes AN ancient Historian writing the life of Galienus the Emperour saith Hee excelled in Poetrie Oratorie and in all Arts and it were an hard matter to collect all his workes which made him famous in his time as well among Poets as Rhetoricians But one thing must be expected from an Emperour another from a Poet and an Orator which passage when I well considered and having perused many Hi●●ories I quickly found what Studies concerned Princes and what vulgar persons And first I met with that of Livie concerning Servius Tullius writing thus Inde puerum liberûm loco caeptum haberi erudirique artibus quibus ingenia ad magna fortunae cultum excitantur● After that from a Boy hee began to be accounted in the ranke of his children and to be instructed in those Arts by which good Wits are excited to be made capable of a great fortune And another writes thus of Augustus Hee was first exercised in the way of speaking Greeke and Latine hee did endure the travell and labour which belonged unto service in the Warre hee learned whatsoever appertained to the Rule of a Common wealth or a Kingdome The like did Agrippina in the education of Nero her Sonne For as wee read shee perswaded Claudius to adopt Domitius Nero her Sonne which when shee had done shee procured Seneca who had about that time a great quantity of Land given him amongst us lying in Essex to teach and instruct him and to make him fit for Imperiall Governement Now what are these Studies I will shew you in few words I speake nothing of Pietie and Religion which the meanest knoweth to be the Basis and foundation of all Princely Education and without vvhich all other parts be they never so excellent doe but totter and reele hee therefore beeing first grounded in the true knowledge of God and the puritie of Christian Religion I first bring him to the Rhetorick Schoole and to learne to be Eloquent being admonished hereunto by Lucian vvho in his Dialogue which he intituleth 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 doth faine Hercules Ogrisius to draw a mightie companie of the common people unto him fastened by the cares unto little Chaines which proceeded from his mouth By which fiction hee meaneth that a good Prince by the benefit of Eloquence may ea●ily keepe his subjects in awe and order Musonius in Stobaeus also saith It is a most Kingly thing for a Prince not to be out-gone in abilitie of an Eloquent tongue Neither doe I desire that a Prince as King Iames said should be a passe-master in Rhetorick and Eloquence or to sift all Oratorie for stile and figures it is enough if hee but have a proper and ready sweetnesse of utterance lest perhaps if any should perswade him to be excellent herein hee might answer his Tutor as a certaine Prince in Euripides answered his 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Princes are not to be instructed concerning light matters but in those things which especially concerne the Common wealth From Eloquence I would leade a Prince to the studie of Philosophy not to those subtill Quiddits and deepe Theoremes which may make one learned but seldome better and oftentimes worse For how many hath the
of that Victory which now I have obtained Moreover as a perpetuall Testimonie and Monument of our mutuall love and friendship unto all posteritie give mee leave to change your Single blacke Eagle into a sterne Lion for a Lyon in strength and courage farre excelleth an Eagle The King yeelded unto him giving him many thankes Then by the Commandement of the Emperour a Painter was sent for who should draw this Lyon in an Ensigne but heare a merry jeast vvhich followed The Paynter by chance had so drawne him that his Tayle lay close between his legges as if he had had none at all which the Bohemians observing and I pray you quoth they to the Painter Where is his tayle this is more like an ill-favoured Jack an apes then a generous Lyon Hereupon despising this coward-like Lion they desired being much grieved that they might have their old Eagle againe This when it was related unto the Emperour he fell into a great laughter saying It is no hard matter to finde a remedy for this and to please the Bohemians Wherfore he caused presently to bee new paynted a white Lion not with one taile onely but with two and those fairely aloft cast over his backe which remaineth the Armes of the Bohemians even to this day CHAP. XX. A most ancient and pleasant manner of Choosing their Prince in Carinthia IN Carinthia as often as a new Prince is to bee chosen and to take the government upon him they observe a Custome the like whereof is not in the world Not farre from the Towne of Saint Vitus in a goodly Valley are seen the ruines of an old Citie the name whereof Antiquitie of Time hath abolished Not farre off among many large Medowes is erected a Marble stone on this stone a Peasant or Country-man gets up which office hee hath Haereditarie as belonging to him and his posteritie at whose right hand standeth a leane blacke Oxe and an ill-favoured Mare of Paramatiae about this Mare stand a multitude of people and all the Husbandmen of the Countrie Then the Prince commeth on forward from the other part of the Medow all his Nobles in Purple accompanying him the Earle of Goritia who is Steward and keeper of the Princes Pallace carrieth the Banner and Armes of the Country runneth before between twelve lesser Banners the other Magistrates follow after In all this companie every one goeth in an honourable and respectfull fashion saving the Prince himselfe who goeth like a Clowne or a Country-man and apparrelled accordingly for hee weareth an old side-coat a Plow-mans cap high shooes and a Shepherds hooke in his hand whom as soone as the other Country-man upon the stone hath espied he cals out aloud unto him in the Slavonian tongue for the Carinthians are all of them Slavonians Who is this whom I espie comming in that state and so proud a gate towards me The standers by answer That the Prince of the Country is come He upon the stone then replies What is hee Is hee an upright Judge And seeks the good and safety of the Countrie Is hee of a free condition and worthy of Honour Is he a professour and maintainer of the Christian Religion and will hee be a defender of the same All then answer together He is and will be I therefore demand by what right hee can dispossesse and stirre me from my seate this same stone The Earle of Goritia answers This place shall be bought of you for threescore pence these Cattle shall be yours shewing him the Oxe and the Mare besides you shall have also the Princes apparell which shortly hee will leave off your house shall be free without paying Tribute Which words being pronounced the Country-man upon the stone gives the Prince a gentle box on the care and bids him be a good Judge then arising and taking his goodly beasts with him he yields his place to the Prince The Prince getting up upon the Stone turnes himselfe round about toward the people with his Sword drawne which hee flourisheth every way and over his head promising true Justice unto the people Then they bring him fayre water to drinke out of a Countrey-mans Cap meaning that hee should put downe the drinking and use of Wine After this hee goeth unto a Church dedicated vnto the Blessed Virgine Marie which standeth upon a little Mount not farre off where solemne Service being finished hee casteth off his Countrey habit putting on a princely Robe and having feasted royally with his Nobles hee goeth againe into the aforesayd Meadowe and there sitting in a Chaire of State hee administers Justice to all that aske it and disposeth of houses and lands The Duke of Carinthia had sometime the place of chiefe Hunts-man of the Empire before whome all Controversies amongst Hunters and Wood-men vvere brought and decided CHAP. XXI The marveilous simplicitie of a Monke fetched out of his Monasterie to bee Crowned a King THe Arragonians who inhabite betweene the River Iberus the kingdome of Valentia in Spaine who derive their name from the most ancient Citie Tarracona built by Cn Publius Scipio's Brother in the second Punicke Warre chose one Tarrensis a Noble man for their King who being possessed of his Regall Authoritie and Dignitie began to abuse his government and to grow proud and insolent so incurring the hatred of his people hee was soone after by them deprived of his kingdome Now being cast out of his Throne when they could meet with none whom they thought worthy and able to take the charge of the Crowne and government upon him by the Popes Authoritie they tooke out of a Monasterie one Ranimiro a Monke a Bastard sonne of Sanchio Maior's and made him King of Arragon and Osea as Colle●utius will have it but Roderig●es Sanchi● calleth it Osca crowned in the yeare One thousand and seventeene This Monke not accustomed to the Warres or Militarie Affayres as it seemed when hee was to set forward in an Expedition against the Moores he was by his Nobles set upon a goodly great horse in his complete Armes giving him his Shield in his left hand and his Lance in his right then they gave him the Bridle which when hee considered and utterly ignorant how hee should use or carry them hee told them in these wordes That both his hands were full and desired them that hee might take the Bridle in his mouth which gaping wide hee did at which words all the Nobilitie fell on a laughter But shortly after having left off his Monasticall simplicitie calling many of his Nobles unto him hee caused them to bee beheaded adding this vvittie though bitter Sarcasme Non sa ben la Volpegia con quien tr●mpegia The Foxe knowes no● with whom hee playes CHAP. XXII A wittie but a ridiculous reply and vindication of a disgrace● ROBERT Duke of Normandie a witty Prince and of a pleasant disposition cōming on a time to Constantinople to visit Constantine the Emperour to make tryall of his wit upon set purpose commanded Stooles to bee set about the Table when dinner was readie for him and his Companie not above one foote and an halfe high It vvas done as the Emperour commanded When the Norman Duke came to sit downe and found all the stooles too low for him and his friends suspecting that there was a trick put upon him hee as hee had a readie wit purposed to bee even with him for when they were to ●it downe hee tooke his Cloake and wrapping it round made it serve for a Cushio● 〈◊〉 make his seat higher 〈◊〉 ●●st of his Normans im●●●●●● him so then they sate all downe and having din'd and the Cloath being taken away● Duke Robert leaving his cloke whereon hee fate behinde him the other of his Nobility and follovvers did so likewise Constantine wondred at it and when he saw they would bee gone in good earnest I pray you quoth 〈◊〉 Emperour why doe you not take your Cloakes along vvith you Duke Robert● answered It is not the fashion in our Countrey when we are invited to a Feast to carry away the Cushions wee sa●e on● FINIS In Farrag Epistol●● Histor. lib. 7. cap. 48.
