General Mountjoy and somewhat after we shall find the Horse and Foot Troops were for three or four years together much about 20000. Which besides the Naval charge which was a dependant of the same War in that the Queen was then forced to keep in continual pay a strong Fleet at Sea to Attend the Spanish Coasts and Ports both to alarm the Spaniard and to intercept his Forces designed for the Irish assistance so that the charge of that War alone did cost the Queen 300000 l. per annum at least which was not the Money of her Disbursements an Expence which without the publick said the State and the Royal Receipts could not have much longer endured which out of her own frequent Letters and complaints to the Deputy Mountjoy for casheering part of that List as soon as he could may be collected for the Queen was then driven into a strait We are naturally prone to Applaud the Times behind us and to vilifie the present for the current of her Fame carries it to this day how Royally and Victoriously she lived and dyed without the grievance and grudge of the people yet that truth may appear without retraction from the Honour of so great a Princess it is manifest she left more debts unpaid taken upon the credit of her Privy Seals than her Progenitors did or could have taken up that way in a hundred years before her which was an enforced piece of State to lay the burthen on that horse that was best able to bear it at the dead lift when neither her Receipts could yield her Relief at the pinch nor the urgency of her Affairs endure the delays of a Parliamentary Assistance And for such aids it is likewise apparent That she received more and with the love of the people than any two of her Predecessors that took most which was a Fortune strained out of the Subject through the Plausibility of her Comportment and as I would say without offence the Prodigal Distribution of her Graces to all sorts of Subjects For I believe no Prince living that was so Tender of Honour and so exactly stood for the preservation of Soveraignty that was so great a Courtier of her people yea of the Commons and that Stoopt and Descended lower in presenting her person to the publick view as she past in her Progresses and Perambulations and in the Ejaculation of her prayers on her people And truly though much may be given in praise of her Magnanimity and therewith comply with her Parliaments and for all that come off at last with honour and profit yet must we ascribe some part of the Commendation to the wisdom of the times and the choice of Parliament-men for I find not that they were at any time given to any violent or pertinacious dispute Elections being made of Grave and Discreet persons not Factious and Ambitious of Fame such as came not to the House with a Malevolent spirit of Contention but with a Preparation to Consult on the Publick Good rather to Comply than Contest with her Majesty Neither doe I find that the House was at any time weakned and pestered with the admission of too many Young heads as it hath been of later times which remembers me of Recorder Martin's Speech about the tenth of our late Soveraign Lord King James when there were Accounts taken of forty Gentlemen not above Twenty and some not exceeding Sixteen which moved him to say That it was the Ancient custom for Old men to make Laws for young ones but that then he saw the case altered and that there were Children Elected unto the great Council of the Kingdom which came to invade and invert nature and to Enact Laws to Govern their Fathers Sure we are the House always took the Common Cause into their Consideration and they saw the Queen had just occasion and need enough to use their Assistance neither do I remember that the House did ever Capitulate or Preferr their Private to the Publick the Queen's necessities c. but waited their times and in the first place gave their Supply and according to the Exigency of her Affairs yet failed not at last to obtain what they desired so that the Queen and her Parliaments had ever the good Fortune to depart in love and on reciprocal Terms which are considerations which have not been so Exactly observed in our last Assemblies as they might and I would to God they had been for considering the great debt left on the King and in what Incumbrances the House it self had then Drawn him his Majesty was not well used though I lay not the blame on the whole suffrage of the House where he had Many good Friends for I dare Avouch had the House been freed of half a dozen of Popular and Discontented Persons such as with the fellow that burnt the Temple at Ephesus would be talked of though but for Doing of Mischief I am confident the King had obtained that which in Reason and at his first Accession he ought to have Received Freely and without any Condition But pardon the Digression which is here Remembred not in the way of Aggravation but in true zeal to the publick good and presented in Caution to future times for I am not Ignorant how the spirit of the Kingdom now moves to make his Majesty Amends on any occasion and how desirous the Subject is to Expiate that offence at any Rate may it please his Majesty graciously to make tryal of his Subjects Affection and at what price they now value his Goodness and Magnanimity But to our purpose the Queen was not to learn that as the strength of her Kingdom consisted in the Multitude of her Subjects so the Security of her Person Rested in the Love and Fidelity of her people which she politickly Affected as it hath been thought somewhat beneath the Height of her Spirit and Natural Magnanimity Moreover it will be a true note of her Providence that she would always listen to her Profit for she would not refuse the Informations of Mean Persons with purposed improvement and had learned the Philosophy of Hoc agere to look into her own work of the which there is a notable Example of one Carwarden an under-Officer of the Custom-House who observing his time presented her with a paper shewing how she was abused in the under-renting of her Customs and therewithall humbly desired her Majesty to Conceal Him for that it did concern two or three of her great Councellours whom Customer Smith had Bribed with 200l a man so to lose the Queen 200 l. per annum which being made known to the Lords they gave strict order that Carwarden should not have Access to the back-stairs till at last her Majesty Smelling the Craft and Missing Carwarden She sent for him back and incouraged him to stand to his Information which the poor man did so Handsomely that within the space of ten years he brought Smith to Double his Rent or to leave the customs to

the Common-wealth during the reign of Henry the seventh who being of a Noble extract was Executed the first year of Henry the eighth but not thereby so Extinct but that he left a plentiful Estate and such a Son who as the vulgar speaks it could live without the Seat for out of the ashes of his Father's Infamy he rose to be a Duke and as High as subjection could Permit or Soveraignty endure and though he could not find out any Appellation to assume the Crown in his own Person yet he projected and very nearly Effected it for his Son Gilbert by Inter-marriage with the Lady Jane Gray and so by that way to bring it about into his loyns Observations which though they lie behind us and seem impertinent to the Text yet are they not much Extravagant for they must lead and shew us how the After-passages were brought about with the Dependances and on the hinges of a collateral workmanship and truly it may amaze a well-setled judgment to look back into those times and to consider how this Duke could attain to such a pitch of Greatness his Father dying in Ignominy and at the Gallows his Estate confiscate and that for Peeling and Polling by the Clamour and Crucifige of the People but when we better think upon it we find that he was given up but as a Sacrifice to please the People not for any offence committed against the Person of the King so that upon the matter he was a Martyr of the Prerogative and the King in honour could do no less than give back to his Son the Privileges of his blood with the acquirings of his Father's profession for he was a Lawyer and of the King's Counsel at Law before he came to be ex interioribus consiliis where besides the licking of his own fingers he got the King a mass of Riches and that not with the hazard but the loss of his fame and life for the King's Father's sake Certain it is that his Son was left rich in Purse and Brain which are good foundations and full to ambition and it may be supposed he was on all occasions well heard of the King as a Person of mark and compassion in his eye but I find not that he did put up for Advancement during Henry the Eighth's time although a vast Aspirer and Provident storer It seems he thought the King's reign was given to the falling sickness but espying his time fitting and the Soveraignty in the hands of a Pupil Prince he thought he might as well then put-up for it as the best for having then possession of blood and a purse with a head-piece of a vast extent he soon got Honour and no sooner there but he began to side it with the best even with the Protector and in conclusion got his and his Brother's heads still aspiring till he Expired in the loss of his own so that Posterity may by Reading the Father and Grandfather make judgment of the Son for we shall find that this Robert whose original we have now traced the better to present him was inheritor of the Genius and Craft of his Father and Ambrose of the estate of whom hereafter we shall make some short mention We take him now as he was admitted into the Court and the Queen's favour where he was not to seek to play his part well and dexterously But his play was chiefly at the fore game not that he was a learner at the latter but he loved not the after-wit for they report and I think not untruly that he was seldom behind-hand with his Gamesters and that they always went away with the loss He was a very Goodly Person and singular well-Featured and all his youth well Favoured and of a Sweet aspect but High-foreheaded which as I should take it was of no Discommendation but towards his latter end which with old Men was but a middle-age he grew High-coloured and Red-faced So that the Queen in this had much of Her Father for excepting some of Her Kindred and some few that had handsom wits in crooked bodies she always took Personage in the way of her election for the people hath it to this day in Proverb King Harry loved a Man Being thus in her grace she called to mind the sufferings of his Ancestors both in her Fathers and Sisters Reigns and restored his and his brothers blood creating Ambrose the elder Earl of Warwick and himself Earl of Leicester c. And he was ex primitiis or of her first choice for he Rested not there but long enjoyed her favour and therewith much what he listed till Time and Emulation the companions of great ones had resolved on his Period and to cover him at his setting in a cloud at Cornbury not by so violent a death and by the fatal Sentence of Judicature as that of his Fathers and Grandfathers was but as it is suggested by that Porson which he had prepared for others wherein they report him a rare Artist I am not bound to give cred●t to all vulgar Relations or to the Libels of the Times which are commonly forced and falsified suitable to the Moods and Humours of Men in Passion and discontent But that which leads me to think him no good Man is amongst others of known truth that of my Lord of Essex death in Ireland and the Marriage of his Lady yet living which I forbear to press in regard that he is long since dead and others living whom it may concern To take him in the observations of his Letters and Writings which should best set him off for such as fell into my hands I never yet saw a style or phrase more seeming Religious and fuller of the streams of Devotion and were they not sincere I doubt much of his well-being and I may fear he was too well seen in the Aphorisms and Principles of Nicholas the Florentine and in the Reaches of Caesar Borgia Hitherto I have touched him in his Courtship I conclude him in his Lance. He was sent Governour by the Queen to the United States of Holland where we read not of his wonders for they say that he had more of Mercury than of Mars and that his device might have been without prejudice to the Great Caesar Veni vidi redii Sussex HIs Corrival before mentioned was Thomas Radcliffe Earl of Sussex who in his Constellation was his Direct Opposite for he was indeed one of the Queen's Martialists and did very good service in Ireland at her first Accession till she Recalled him to the Court where she made him Lord Chamberlain but he Played not his Game with that Cunning and Dexterity as Leicester did who was much the more Facete Courtier though Sussex was thought much the Honester Man and far the Better Souldier but he lay too open on his Guard He was a goodly Gentleman and of a brave Noble nature True Constant to his Friends and Servants He was also of a very Noble and Ancient Lineage

Glory and content of Mind that will arise from thence will much recompence the trouble of it Since that if he carry himself wisely and accommodate himself to those things that he sees he cannot change nor overcome I dare say he will at last become acceptable to the worst of Princes and dearer than others that are of a worse repute who seldom manage the Prince's business with a due fidelity and care or at least not equal to that he might easily promise to himself from the hands of a vertuous and honest man And hither tends the Counsel of Sallust and Mecaenas whereby the first recommended to Julius Caesar and the latter to Augustus the choice and friendship of Good men Because Conscience and care of their Reputation restrains these more powerfully from dishonest things than the fear of punishment or the want of Power doth others But as I have said the vicious are always in Court in greater throngs who chiefly by two ways do Ingratiate themselves with the Prince first by Flattering and Fulfilling whatever he shall please to command and that by so much the more servilely by how much the more their hopes of gain are greater Next for that Princes are pleased to have those about them in comparison of whom themselves though bad God knows seem to be good Some there are that think also their lives more secure in the company of those that are most like unto themselves Dionysias the Tyrant being requested to expel out of his Court one who for his villainy was hated by all men answered No he would keep him lest otherwise he himself should become the most hateful person in the Court It is natural to those who find themselves obnoxious to any vice by comparing themselves to those that are worse to seek to purchase to themselves some shew of Probity And it hath been an Old trick of Princes on purpose to choose unlikely Successors to the end their own acts and vertues might appear better and more illustrious For Tacitus is of opinion that for no other reason did Augustus adopt Tiberius whose arrogance and cruelty he knew full well nor Tiberius choose Caligula It is principally necessary that a good man be very Sober and Circumspect in his discourse for Princes seldom or never love an unwary and careless liberty in any kind of men how vertuous soever they be Neither did Plato's freedom with Dionysius succeed well for therefore was he delivered up to a needy Mariner and sent to be sold in the Isle of Creet whence being redeemed by certain Philosophers he was admonished either to abstain wholly from the conversation of Princes or to speak plausible things With the like advices did Aristotle furnish his Cozen Callisthenes then going to attend upon Alexander to wit That he should very seldom speak and then never but pleasing things to him upon whose Tongues-end lay the disposal of his life CHAP. VII Whom When and How we ought to Flatter the Nature of a free and tolerable Flattery and the necessity of it in Court THough it be Inconsistent with the strictest rules of Morality and Vertue yet of Necessity if you live in Court you must sometimes so Flatter the Prince as may gain him unto you But all manner of Flattery is not Tolerable a Base and Servile one was displeasing even to Tiberius himself of whom it is written by Tacitus Annal. 3. that going out of the Senate he was once heard to say of those Flattering Senators in Greek O Men born to slavery There are circumstances wherein Flattery used is as prejudicial as when it is wholly omitted For it happens often that be whom we Flatter too grosly suspects deceipt It is requisite still that Flattery have something of truth and some show of liberty mixed with it it is the opinion of Aeschines and Plutarch whereby we may perswade not onely the Prince that we speak heartily and as we think but others also and so preserve our Credit Croesus who whilest he was a King himself had learnt well the humor of Kings and what would either please or displease them When upon a time Cambyses King of the Persians demanded of those that were about him What they thought of him in Comparison of his Father Cyrus They all affirmed That he was greater than Cyrus as who unto his Fathers Kingdoms had added Aegypt and the dominion of the Sea When Croesus then a Captive came to speak he affirmed That he was much inferiour to his Father by reason that he had as yet begotten none equal to himself This answer had some taste of freedom and therefore was more pleasing to Cambyses's-vanity than all the rest had said That Flattery is very notable of Valerius Messalla recorded by Tacitus Annal. 1. Messala Valerius added That it was convenient the Oath of Allegiance should every year be renewed in Tiberius's name who being demanded by Tiberius whether he had any commandment from him to give that advice he answered That he spoke it of his own accord and that in what concern'd the Common-wealth he would use no man's advice but his own whatever the offence or danger were Which was a wonderful unpractised kind of Flattery Like unto this is that which the same Author relates of Ateius Capito Annal. 3. Lucius Ennius a Gentleman of Rome was accused of Treason for melting the Image of the Prince and making it into Plate Caesar commanded he should not be prosecuted for it Ateius Capito openly complained with a seeming liberty that the power of determining in such a case ought not to be taken from the Senate nor so great a Crime pass unpunished and that he was slow in resenting his own least he should also punish an injury done to the Common-wealth It were easie to bring more examples of this kind but these are sufficient to instruct those upon whom there is imposed a necessity of Flattering that they may take heed lest their Flattery bring upon themselves or others any Private or Publick damage it is sufficient that it be such as may sometimes satisfie the Prince's vanity CHAP. VIII How to Manage the Counsels of a Prince OUr Courtier ought to beware how he engages himself though called in the Counsel of a Proud and Violent Prince for such as those do ask Counsel in no other sort than as Xerxes did when he went to invade Greece He called together the Princes of Asia as it were to deliberate with them about the Conduct of the War but they being come before him he said Lest I should seem without your advice to act all things according to my own will I have called you my Lords to Counsel yet I would have you know that I expect here from you obedient minds and not troublesome debates Cambyses the Predecessor of Xerxes being about to Marry his Sister demanded of his Counsellors whether any Law of the Persians prohibited such a Marriage They perceiving the King did not ask this question so much to resolve

himself of any doubt as to Sound the dispositions of the Nobles answered That truly there was no Law that warranted expresly this that the King was about to do but there was one that affirmed that whatever the King thought fit to do was Lawful Thus out of the Humour of the Prince and the Nature of the affair we must first make a judgment whether it be fit or safe when he asks our Counsel to deliver freely our opinions or to humour him in his inclinations You have Royal examples of this already I will now bring you one of a man who though he were not a King yet bore the Office of a King not above an Age ago in Spain Ferdinand being dead the Pope and Maximilian the Emperour exhorted Charles of Austria then in Flanders to take upon him the title of King of Spain although his Mother Joan Ferdinand's daughter were still living but wholly unfit for Government by reason of her want of health The States were hereupon assembled and before them Cardinal Ximenes to excuse the novelty of the thing discoursed excellently of the reasons of what was done The Grandees more observant of ancient customs and the Queen than was fit against a King that was shortly to succeed of Course Protested very obstinately against it Ximenes being angry rises up and tells them the thing that was treated of was not to be called in question neither was there any need of their advice in the case That Kings being to enter upon their Kingdoms are not to expect the consent of their Subjects that they who were assembled were not called out of any necessity but that they might have occasion by the Promptitude of their suffrages to endear their Prince unto them But since they interpreted that as a due which was only a favour they should see that without their approbation he would proclaim King Charles at Madrid which example all the rest of the Cities quickly followed Such a manner of proceeding not only in these cases but mostly in all others do Princes use scarce asking any mans advice but either to the end they may Countenance their own resolutions with the consent of many or else to discover the disposition of the person they advise withal as Tacitus witnesseth that Tiberius oft did The Courtier must therefore Sollicitously sift into the Prince's mind lest otherwise he should chance to give offensive Counsel If the Prince's inclination in the thing debated be doubtful unto him let him seem to discuss the matter and so laying down arguments both for the one and the other side let him leave the Prince to his own election Who if the thing advised of be not unalterably resolved upon already having heard the reasons that may be brought against it if he be discreet will change his Mind Neither in this case will there be any ground for that bashfulness of blushing to seem so much inferior to any body as to follow their Counsel which though it be very hurtful and unbecoming unto them is very familiar amongst Great Men for having said what you can you leave the freedom of determining all to the Prince's Prudence whereby you will also avoid the danger that many times Counsellors are obnoxious unto if their Advices succeed ill And if the Prince following his first resolutions meet not with success he will by so much the more acknowledge and esteem the prudence of that Courtier who foresaw the Approaching misfortune when it was yet avoidable If you be Prest to deliver your opinion in an unlawful matter either seek some pretence of delay or else intreat that some third person may be called for the better discussing of the business whereby the case being more maturely weighed it may appear what is most for the dignity and safety of the Prince By this means Burrhus defeated Nero's first attempt against his Mother's life Promising that himself would kill her if she were found guilty But since it was afforded unto every other person a trial could not be denied unto his Mother Whilst the examinations are taking Nero's fury asswages and his Fears grows less so that his determination though it was not quite altered yet it was laid aside to another time But this manner of proceeding takes not place upon all occasions being proper only in desperate and ambiguous cases Moreover before we adventure upon it we ought to know whether the Nature of the Prince is compatible with delays for there are some so headstrong and impatient that there is no means more certain of incurring their displeasure than by using delays CHAP. IX The Sudden Resolution of Princes How to be Moderated WHen as it often falls out our Advice is not asked in the resolution but for the manner of executing what is resolved upon already if the business do seem inconsistent with reason and honesty we must propose the remotest means we can think of for the effecting of it and countenance this our Advice with the pretences of Facility Equity and Security shewing withal that sudden undertakings are full of hazard and difficulty When we have to do with those impatient kind of Princes we ought to be ready and have always our Wits about us for these sudden occasions and then if they be not unsufferably rash and wilfull no doubt but they will follow that course which we shall demonstrate to be most Safe and Easie Yet if their madness be such that they will not hear mild and gentle Counsels his Adviser may yet excuse this his wary Prudence with a Care and Affection to the Prince desiring rather that things should be done Slowly with security then Rashly with the ruine of his Master Now if so be that in that Headlong course that the Prince hath Wilfully chosen Difficulties or Straits do occur he will much more reflect upon the Prudence of him that would have disswaded him in time and perhaps for the future be willing to hearken to him propounding Milder ways Besides this gaining of time doth frequently afford Subject of Moderating the Prince's passion and of Bridling his desires or else of letting him see that what he is about is either wholly impossible or else cannot be effected without great absurdity For it after happens that the ways which Princes propose unto themselves are accompanied with such circumstances of difficulty as are not to be overcome and to these kind of Straits as I would not have you exhort him so I would not have you too much disswade him from them rather suffer him with a respective silence to take his own course least you disswading out of these difficult ways he seek out some more easie one of compassing his will which otherwise having toil'd himself out of breath amongst the Obstacles that he met with he would voluntarily give the business over But sometimes it falls out that Princes commit the execution of some Wickedness or Injustice to an honest man In which case truly though all good men ought to suffer any violence
