the Macedonian power was greatlye worne through sundrye battayles growen by discention amonges them selues Arsaces the Parthian is cyted by Hystories to be the fyrste Persuader of the Parthians to reuolte from the Macedonians And he by the consente of the Parthians and other Barbarous people hys neyghbours wearynge on hys head the Diademe obtayned the kyngdome and lefte the same vnto hys posteritye euen vnto the time of the kynge Artabanus whome Artaxerxes hauing slayne restored as it is sayde the kyngdome vnto the Persians and broughte in subiection the nygh Barbarous nacions he dyd nowe prouoke the Romayne power to armes When relacion was made hereof to Alexander at Rome he determined no longer to â—eare the insolencye of the Barbarous kynge especyallye seynge hys Liuetenauntes and Captaynes called hym thyther Finallye wyth greate grudgynge and sore agaynste hys wyll he prepared hys expedition into the Orient And therfore generall musters were made thoroughout Italye and the Prouinces of all suche as seamed apte eyther in stature of bodye or strengthe of yeares In the same musters were many muties and tumultes amonges the Romayne Subiectes reasonynge what power myghte be equall vnto so great a multitude of Barbarous people And Alexander commaunded all the Pretorian Souldyours and other men at armes whyche were a Rome to repayre into the fieldes where hym selfe veynge ascended into the Tribunal seate spake these wordes vnto theym I woulde wyshe my felowes in armes to make suche an oration vnto you as should according to the accustomed wont vnto me the speaker get loue and honour and vnto you the hearers brynge ioye and gladnes For seyng we haue now many yeres lyued in peaceable tranquillitie yf ye shal heare of any new thing lately happened peraduenture ye wylbe a feard of the same as of a thynge vnluckelye chaunsed Neuertheles it becommeth valiaunt moderat men in deede to wishe for the beste but yet to suffer take in worth what soeuer happeneth For as the thynge we do with pleasure is swete and delectable so is that we do with vertue coÌ„mendable glorious And as he which first geueth occasion of warre seameth iniurious euen so he which withstandeth wronge is more confident in his coÌ„science conceaueth a better hope of his quarell for that it is ryghteous Artaxerxes a man of Persia hauynge slayne hys Soueraygne lorde Artabanus and translated hys kyngdome vnto the Persians doth nowe enterpryse in contempnynge the Romayne Maiestie to prouoke vs to battayle inuadynge at thys present and wastynge oure Prouinces I endeuoured at the fyrste to reduce hym by gentle letters from hys vnsaeiable gredines and exhorted hym not to coueyte that was not his owne But he being puffed vp with Barbarous insolencye wyl not holde hym selfe within hys owne bouÌ„des but chalengeth vs vnto Battayle Let vs not therfore triâ—le in the thyng or deferre the matter But you which are bere present of the auncient sorte of Souldyours cause hym to knowe the manifolde victories whyche you haue obteined vnder the gouerment and leading of Seuerus and my father Antonine And you whiche are yong men seke and coueyte I say this praise and glorye whereby all men maye perceaue that you knowe not onely howe to lyue in peace quietlye and obserue it reuerentlye but also when nede requireth to fyght valiauntly Touchynge the Barbarous people as it is theyr vsage to

a playne Batayle but vsynge Inuasyons and Rodes accompte them selues Conquerours of all they can gette by stelth and robberye But we on the contrarye parte haue all thynges decked meete for the warres wherewyth we haue learned to ouerthrowe and vanquyshe them When Alexander hadde spoken theise wordes the men of armes receaued hym ioyfullye shoutyng and shewynge theym selues readye to goe wyth good wylles into the warre Then he distributed a greate Summe of money amonges theym and commauÌ„nded them to prepare them selues to the iourney Anone after he made the lyke Oration in the Senate house and appoynted the daye of hys departure The whiche beyng comme after he had acccordinge to the auncient vsage fynished hys sacrsfice he departed the Senate and all the Romaine people conueyyng hym out of Rome vpon the which he loked backe wyth wepynge eyes Neyther was there anye of the common people whyche watered not hys plantes in the beholdynge of hys departure For all the multitude was desyrous of hym because he was broughte vp amonges them and had gouerned thempire verye manye yeares wyth muche modestye When he was departed he vsed dilygent spede in his iourney visited the Illirian people men of war encreased hys power euery where weÌ„t vnto Antioche In that Citie he prepared all suche necessaries as were expedient for the warres And caused hys Souldiours to exercise them selues in feates of armes Him selfe prouyded wyth muche dilygence weapons and harnesse for the same It semed then good vnto hym to proue by another Ambassade whether the Persian Kynge woulde condiscende vnto peace and vnitie For beynge hym selfe presente he lytle doubted eyther to persuade Artaxerxes as he woulde or at least wyse put hym in feare wyth menaces But the barbarous kynge dismissed the Romayne Oratours home agayne wythout any thynge concluded And in theyr companye sent fourtye of the goodlyest men of stature in hys armye who were gorgiouslye apparelled in ryche Robes adourned wyth gold rode vpon great Coursers and caryed great Bowes in theyr handes thynkynge to abashe the Romaynes wyth the syghte of theyr talnes and sumptuous rayment The effect of theyr Ambassade was this The great Kyng Artaxerxes commaunded the Romaynes w t theyr Emperour to depart out of Syria al that part of Asia which is situate ouer against Europe suffer the Persians to raygne haue dominion as farre as Ionia and Caria and all suche lande as the Aegean Sea and Pontus doo enuiron When these fourtye Ambassadours had declared their message Alexander commaunded them to be apprehended toke from them al their sumpteous apparail and seÌ„t them into Phrigia where he alotted vnto theÌ„ certayne Vilages and fieldes to tyll and enhabit beynge satysfied wyth this punyshmente of exyle from their natiue Countrey For he rekened it very cruel and nothing agreable to maÌ„hood to put theÌ„ to death for thexecutynge theyr Maisters commaundemente not beyng taken in battayle When thiese thynges were thus ended and whiles Alexander was busyed in preparacion of Bridges to passe ouer the Ryuers and to leade the Romayne Armye into the confynes of the Barbariens there reuolted and fledde froÌ„ hym many Egiptian Souldiours and in Siria also dyuerse Commocions beganne to kyndle agaynste hys gouernemente But the same were furthewyth appeased and the Rebelles taken and put to deathe Then Alexander sente certayne
