great consequence to some good end with the dexteritie of their wit in the end they somewhat calmed and asswaged the minds of the angry Princes and instigated the proud hearts of the enraged people And the Court of Parlament was dissolued with the capitulation of this atonement that the people should solemnly vow and promise forthwith to readmit into their breasts the excellent vertue Fidelitie which they should sweare to make absolute Mistris of their hearts And that Princes should be strictly bound to banish and expell from out their hearts Auarice and Crueltie and in lieu of them yeeld the free possession of their mindes vnto the Soueraigne Vertues Liberalitie Bountie and Clemencie who were they that perpetually held Fidelitie and Obedience fast ●ettered in the hearts of subiects Since that by an autenticall testimonie subscribed by Caius Pliuius and other naturall H●storians it most euidently appeared that the sillie sheepe who are seene so gently and willingly to obey their shepherds doe notwithstanding shun and abhor all Butchers And that it was impossible to induce Dogs although naturally most trusty louing and kinde to their masters to wag their taile or to leape and faune on those that gaue them more stripes than morsels of bread Iustus Lipsius to make amends for the fault hee had committed in accusing of Tacitus doth so passionately obserue him that before Apollo he is charged to idolatrize him whereupon after a faigned and but verball punishment hee it in the end by his Maiestie not only absolued but highly commended and admired Rag. 86. 1 Part. THE most curious learned of this State haue often obserued that whensoeuer any vertuous man doth through humane frailty commit any ouersight for the dread which he afterward seeleth of wicked actions doth in such sort with falling into the other extreame correct the same that some there be who affirme that Democritus did not so much for the benefit of contemplation pull out his owne eyes as for to make amends for the errour hee had committed laciuiously gazing vpon a most beautious Damsell than beseemed a Philosopher of his ranke and profession And the report yet goeth among the vertuous that Harpocrates to correct the defect of ouermuch babling for which he was greatly blamed at a great banquet fell into the other extreame neuer to speake more Nor ought the sentence of the Poet be accounted true Dam vitant stulti vitia incontraria currunt Since that in a Dog that hath once bin scalded with boiling water it is held a point of sagacitie to keepe himselfe in his kennell when it raineth As likewise it is the part of awary man to auoid Eeles if hee haue once beene deadly bitten by Snakes This we say for so much as so great was the griefe and so notorious the agonie that Iustus L●psius felt for the accusation which he so vnhappily framed and published against Tacitus that to repaire the fault which of all the vertuous of this State was exceedingly blamed not long after fell into that errour and went in person to visit Tacitus and for the iniury which he acknowledged to haue done him hee most humbly begged pardon at his hands Tacitus knowing what reputation the readinesse of a free and genuine pardon yeeldeth a man with a magnanimity worthy a Romane Senator not only frankly and generously forgaue Lipsius the iniury receiued but which by the vnanimous report of all the vertuous of this State hath deserued highest commendations he most affectionately thanked him for the occasion he ministred vnto him to make purchase of that glory which sincerely to forget all iniurious affronts receiued doth procure and conferre vpon a man vnto the ancient and most affectionate deuotion which Lipsius who had euer bin most partially affected vnto Tacitus had euer borne vnto so sublime an Historian the wonder of so great indulgence being adioyned and the facility of a p●rdon so earnestly desired did so encrease the loue in his minde and so augment his awfull veneration towards him that hee more frequented Tacitus his house than his owne Hee now loued to discourse with no other learned man no conuersation did more agrade him he commended no other Historian and all with soth partiality of inward affection namely for the elegancie of his speech adorned more with choise conceits than with words for the succinctnesse of his close neruous and graue sententious Oratorie cleare onely to those of best vnderstanding with the 〈◊〉 and hatred of other vertuous men of this dominion dependents of Cic●ro and of the mighty Caesarean faction who approue it not And did with such diligence labour to imitate him that not onely with hatefull antonomasia hee dared to call him his Auctor but vtterly scorning all other mens detections he affected no other ambition than to appeare vnto the world a new Tacitus This so vnwonted kindnesse among friends neuer seene from inferiours towards their superiours and which exceeded the most hearty loue or affection that any can beare and expresse to the nearest of his blood engendred such a iealousie in the minds of Mercerus of Beatus Rhenanus of Fuluius Orsinus of Marcus Antonius Muretus and of diuers others followers and louers of Tacitus that induced thereunto by meere enuy hatched in their hearts but according to the custome of worldly dissemblers which is to paliate the passion of priuate hatred with the robe of charity toward their neighbour vnder colour to reuenge the iniury which not long since Lipsius had done vnto their friend Tacitus they framed an enditement against Lipsius and presented the same vnto Apollo charging him with the same delict or crime of impiety whereof he had accused Tacitus giuing his Maiestie to vnderstand that hee loued not Tacitus as a friend that he honoured not him as a Master and regardfull Patron but adored him as his Apollo and Deitie This accusation which as in crimes of capitall treason by reason of it's hainous outragiousnesse needeth no other proofe than the bare testimony of any one man did enter so deepely into Apollo's minde as hee deemed himselfe offended by Lipsius in the highest degree caused him forthwith to bee brought before his Maiestie by the Pretorian band of the Lyrick Poets fast bound in chaines and gyues and staring on him with a fierce wrathfull countenance and with death-threatning gestures demanded of him What his genuine opinion or conceit was of a certaine fellow called Cornelius Tacitus borne of an oyle-monger of Terni Lipsius vndismaiedly answered Apollo That hee deemed Tacitus to be the chiefe Standard bearer of all famous Historians the Father of humane wisdome the Oracle of perfect reason of State the absolute Master of Politicians the stout Coripheus of those writers that haue attained the glory in all their compositions to vse more conceits than words the perfect and absolute forme to learne to write the actions of great Princes with the learned apparent light of the essentiall source and occasion of
