might imploy much speech therein And little should preuaile For howsoeuer men of place and honour are enclinde To further and promote a man that is of honest mind Yet are the meanes so difficult that must be made to such And fauorites so many that therein doth looke for much As that a man farre better were to liue with bread and grew Then with a thrid-bare purse to seeke or for pre●erment sew And so I end my dolefull song of threefold griefe and paine As worlds vnrest next friends vntrust the third that all 's for gaine Of true Nobilitie OF true Nobilitie doe we enquire T is that that doth excell the common sort In vertuous Actes whereto it doth aspire And shewes it selfe abroad with noble port For noble port must shew the noble State It fits not Noble minds to be at common rate But what for that doth Noble therefore wrong Doth he oppresse or seeke a common hurt Whereby to raise himselfe or make him strong No fye the Noble reckons that as durt For as the world is cheered by the Sunne So from true Noble comforts dailyrunne Doth Countries seruice call the Noble forth Most what he is prepared for the same For that 's a meane to shew his noble worth And that accomplisht wins him noble fame To God to King and Countrey is he chargde To see the Honour of them all enlargde Is noble neere the King who else should be Then nobly doth he seruice to his Grace As both his honour and his safety to foresee For which his eyes are open in each place Detracting none that are of good desart But helping all out of a noble hart And chiefly vnto suters doth he show A noble affabilitie and why Because from Prince as from a spring doth flow The Subiects helpe which helples else might lye Then if this Noble keepe poore suters backe Vnnobly doth he cause poore suters wracke And to proceede doth he in Countrey dwell No partie factions doth he there support Much lesse prepareth plots how to rebell Nor graceth any of suspected sort But honours law and Iudges doth assist And makes not law to serue him as he list To the most reuerend and right Honourable the Primate of all England TRue Paterne of pietie with true hearts good will My pen doth presume to speake of thy grace Whose vertues and goodnesse right well do fulfill The honour and greatnesse that is in thy place Gladnesse of conscience may thee imbrace Whose zeale hath beene peacefull with censures discreet Whose life hath beene blamelesse with doctrine to meete Pride sitting below thee in enuious chayre Doth swell at thy greatnesse yet faine would be great And Momus the wretch that all would impaire His head about mischiefe and malice doth beate But care of the truth shall stablish thy seate Thus vertuesregard hath imployed my pen Not Monies reward nor pleasing of men The Iudge must be truthes Patron THe Iudge that sitteth on the bench to iudge of wrong and right Should haue the high Tribunall seate prefigur'd in his sight Least that the Lawyer with his skill and argument preparde Well sounding to the sense of man and subtilly declarde Should haue the hap to harbour in his well entending brest Where nought but truth and truthes defence for euermore should rest For this is sure that some there are in this our learned age Whose force is great with witto win the iudgement of the sage Then ought this rule be alwayes held in all iudiciall things That neither Arte nor lawes dispute which learned Lawyer brings Doe draw a present iudgement on in question of the law For sudden iudgements of tentimes may from the truth withdraw And Lord how grieuous were the case if goods were l●st or lands Vpon a point of lawe● dispute which argumentiue stands Without well ripping vp the same with due and deepe regard Foreseeing that the Princes case in iudgement be not sparde As for the purpose were it thus A Statute law there is Of Chauntries so entituled whereon the case be this A man giues lands to one by Will he finding euermore A yeerely Obite for the soules of some deceast before And paying for that Obites charge a certaine yerely summe And for default thereof a paine out of those lands to come Admitting also that the lands of greater valew ar Besides Reprises of the same then th'Obites charges far Then say those lands are claymed for the King in this degree As that the vse thereof by lawe should superstitious ●e Although I take not on me to affyrme how it should go Yet this I say that if such case should into question gro For that the wait thereof perhaps vnto the subiect may Be such as that those lands in sute are his all only stay And eke for that the Lawyers s●ill in case of Lawes dispute Is leuelled to win the cause and to obtaine the sute Vpon the side he is retaind and not to bend the same For Rights defence for so perdy his Client might him blame VVhat neede then hath this case of 〈◊〉 of Iudges holy aide As by the which full oft and oft the Right had neede be swaid For howsoeuer counsaile vrge the matter for the king The Iudge hath his respect to Right as to the chiefest thing And as for Coplatiues and Disiunctiues in Willes why should they sway For as the Sunne shines not by night as it doth by the day So men in sicknes haue not sense as in their health they haue Sunne setting bringeth darknes and sense faileth at the graue Againe should points or periods destroy a Subiects state The King himselfe seekes no mans land as such an easie rate Especially if there haue bi● like cases formerly Adi●dgde for Subiects but for that Let Law such matters try My speech is not to preiudice The Iudgements of the Graue I as a meane Professor speake The knowledge that I haue Submitting all that I haue sayd Concerning point of Law To such as from whose learned Breasts My learning I must draw For were the foresayd case mine owne My minds resolue should be To take in worth what ere fell out Wer'● good or ill for me And to returne where I began The Iudge that hath Gods Seate Protects the Right while Lawyers heads Vpon preuailings beate I honour Iudges from my heart And loue all Lawyers of desert A Caueat to peremptory speaking Lawyers ANd dost thou speake friend Faber for thy fee Speake not with mind to beare the matter downe Thinke not that Law should come from none but thee For many a one that weares a thridbare gowne Although his gift be not in speaking well Yet may his iudgement many times excell To Astilius Regius the learned highly imployed Lawyer SVch gifts of skill as few men apprehend Must needes be great to dignifie the man To whom it pleaseth God such gifts to lend Though but one gift If so what say we the● Where sundry gifts of
