to the Pety-Nauy-Royall appointed 4. ¶ And wold also make humble Request that the Incredible Abuses of Purueyers and Takers of vittayles and other things might be more narrowly sene to and duly reformed 5. And Fifthly the selfsame Brytish and English Commons Man Woman and Childe with wringing hands most pitifully lamenting a Remediles Inconuenience and haynous Absurdity already and to long committed wold most humbly and dutifully make Petition that Presently such vnparciall prouidence may be vsed * Facta Infecta fieri non possunt Proinde Serò Saltem Sapiāt Phryges Ast non ninus Serò That from hencefoorth The Priuate Commodity of a few shall not cause the Braynes of many a thousand of true and faithfull English Subiects to fly in the Ayre Braynes say they Armes Leggs Lymmes and lyues of the Commons to be as the Case may fall out which God forbid solde after a sort Though not directly and willingly yet Indirectly vnwillingly in respect of our Cuntry-mens Intents therin Seeing the Chiefest Instruments wherewith to work so wofull a Spoyle and Calamity are dayly almost from this Kingdom conueyed No no it goeth not so nycely to woork For open Markets and Sales are made of them in great plenty to such Copemens hands as No one of them doth hartily and will constantly or can perpetually wish our prosperous estate Nay such as for many yeres almost continually some of them haue gone about to ouerthrow and confound this blessed Brytish Monarchy And some of them such a Nation whose Records Chronicles and Histories both Ancient and of late dayes published do term English-men Their Ancient Enemies● And in dede in hart do ernestly desire and constantly But what should we heap vp VAE SVPRA VAE in this Case To declare also the Hainous Abusing of this Common-Wealth by carying OVR GVN-POWDER out of this Realm in maruailous great Abundance Wherof and of good SALT-PETER likewise all the stoare we could haue prouided from beyond the Seas would haue bin little enough for most nedefull Martiall Seruice hereafter to be done therwith Hope one day to handle them so What thousand crouching Salutations so euer with Monsieur and A Vostre Commandement Monsieur and the like appertenances of glorious glosing and depe dissimulation their great Necessity at any tyme teacheth them to deuise and counterfet A true Lesson this Olde Prouerb will be found in Such That which is bred in the Bone will neuer out of the flesh Good God who knoweth not what Prouiso is made and kept in other Common-Weal●s Against Armour carrying out of their Limits * Though our Frendes may Reasonably be thought worthy to be Holpen With Armour against our Common Enemy Yet vnder pretence of such Freendly Dealing The Common Enemy is not to be Furnished herewith as Plentifully as eyther his Case requireth or his Purse is hable to reach vnto Wherof the Right Honorable Priuy Counsaile haue very Wisely geuen warning to the Contrary And the lyke Consideration is to be had for Vittayles Transporting Such and to such Places chiefly from which possibly they may thereby receiue great dammage And shall we with the most terrible forcible and hurtfull kynde of Weapon and Engyn furnish both the Infidels and the Barbarous Princes forreyn though far from vs yet to the destruction of Christians notwithstanding And also nere at hand such kynde of people as which way so euer the matters in controuersy fall out finally will be found an Incredible great Scourge to this Kingdom by vnsuspected means as the wofull Commons make their pitifull Reconing already or greatly do dout how rude so euer some of these people of them selues be And how simple and slender so euer their presently sene and known Nauy is to be regarded Therfore if the Brytish Communalty may obteyn so much Grace at our Souerayn and her most Honorable Priuy Counsailes hands As to enioy the Benefit of Sea-Security by means of the foresayd Pety-Nauy-Royall Then such Cast-Peces of Iren Ordinances we shall greatly nede for our own Ships furniture And also other Iren works diuers wayes Fewell also and Ship Tymber from tyme to tyme we shall haue occasion to vse more then els wold be occupyed And then the want of so many Hundred Peces of Iren we mean and not of Bras to as haue bin of late from hens transported will make very euident the Dubble Dammage and Treble Danger possibly ensuing therof when our Enemies being with our store furnished we must be constrayned to prouide the like new and so be driuen to tarry a great tyme And also to take the fortune of all faults In Iren Peces happening Whereas otherwise at leysure the Principall good Peeces in all Respects heretofore continually culled out And in * Rupe Tarpeia of our New Troy reserued mought without any detriment to the Prince or Commons haue now serued our turns very well And so the Poore Commons should not haue One and the same Awle twise thrust in their right Eyes As to see and fele agayn the Incredible Spoyle of Woods and Forests as hath bin made to furder Iren works withall And yet Notwithstanding Iren to be now derer than it was when from beyond the Seas we were chiefly serued therof And our Iren also yet worse then the forreyn Iren And our Woods and Forests already so destroyed thereby that Fewell and Tymber of all sorts of necessity in many places of this Realm is become on the sudden extremely dere and therupon * The Prices of Vittayles enhanced by indirect means Pryces of vittayles somwhat the higher raysed Oh the Lamentable Spoyle of our woods sundry wayes both contrary to Lawes made and also for lack of sufficient Prouiso and due execution as wisely and iustly performed as either Olde Lawes made or new deuised was and may be a sufficient Token of wisdom Speculatiue in Lawmakers heds Omnis La●s

But the great Rechelesnes in the Practise which onely should be the great Profit to the Common-Wealth expected doth make vs seme great Hypocrites in good Lawes making and keping the Bookes wherein the Lawes are recorded but not obseruing the Lawes in our Actions Ciuile A Nedefull Prouiso against Vnhable Vndecent or Superfluous Buylders Peraduenture yf among sundry other Ordonances for preseruation of Wood and Tymber to be made some Prouiso were established by Act of Parlement that No man should Buyld or cause to be Buylt but with these Three poynts concurring First according to his Habilitie and not aboue Secondly according to his State or Vocation and not aboue Thirdly according as his Necessary Affaires and allowable Commodities The Commodities of this Prouiso shall require and not Superfluously Therupon fewer Banckrupts and more House-keepers would be found Les Ambition and more Charitie wold be vsed And Thirdly better Cheap of more Store and Choyce of Ship-Tymber and other wold be reserued The Penalties of the former Transgressors might be after this or

GENERAL AND RARE MEMORIALS pertayning to the Perfect Arte of NAVIGATION Annexed to the PARADOXAL Cumpas in Playne now first published 24. yeres after the first Inuention thereof A BRIEF NOTE SCHOLASTICAL FOR THE better vnderstanding of the Decorum obserued or at the least regarded in this present Two-fold Treatise written vnder the Names of Three diuers Proprieties States or Conditions of MAN Wherby yt may appere that they are not Scopae dissolutae or Du Coq à l' Asne But by the will and Grace of the Highest thus● Recorded First yt was needfull for the Vnknown Freend to declare his Sensible grief conceaued to see and perceiue an honest Ientleman and Philosopher by the malice and ignorance of sundry his Cuntrymen to be almost oppressed vtterly defaced and by dangerous reports greeuously and dammageably discredited And secondly to make a mournfull and dolefull Supplication generall to all his Cuntrymen to help the sayd Ientleman to haue Iustice and due amends now at the end of his dayes And all this is the rather thus endited that God his great Graces bestowed on him should to God his great glory be acknowledged thankfully and not be suffered any longer to be so craftily wilfully and violently trodden vnder foot or barbarously despised And it is likely that vnleast this Vnknown Freend haue fauourable audience and Credit in those things which in this Aduertisment he declareth being Sensible both past present pertayning to the forsayd Ientleman that the Mechanicien his industry and great zeale vsed in collecting and penning from the sayd Philosopher his mouth the Hexameron Plat Politicall of the Brytish Monarchie shal be but slenderly and slightly regarded or wayed and therby the same to be found finally to les Commodity Publik auailable But yf the same Aduertisement be earnestly speedily vnpartially charitably examined and considered good hope may arise that Omnia cooperabuntur ad Vtilitatem Salutemque Publicam procurandam ac promouendam

Introduc●ory The Epistle in Meter annexed in the end of this Book was by the Mechanicien sent after that the vnknown Freend had at his own charges and with his careful Trauail concurrent put the foresayd two Treatises in Print deliuered again into the hands of the sayd Mechanicien the whole Impression therof The diuers Intents and purposes of which Epis●le are easily to be perceiued Therfore yf to haue sayd thus much was necessary the same also may suffice A necessary Aduertisement by an vnknown freend giuen to the modest and godly Readers who also carefully desire the prosperous State of the Common wealth of this BRYTISH KINGDOM and the Politicall SECVRITIE thereof LAmentable and irkesome are these our drery dayes my welbeloued Cuntriman Seeing the conditions of to to many are become such as to be to to curious of other Mens dooings As though they them selues were superhabundantly perfect or dwelt in Security of not beyng at any tyme hereafter either surueyed or controlled for their own Nay seeing the subtilty and impudency of some is such that they can and dare cunningly and craftily conuey to them selues or to whom they list the Title and Interest of the thanks and commendation due to other Men who are not of so brasen visages as to practise such ambitious fatches for them selues or to procure such malitious Disgraces to other But are of that myldenes of Spirite as PATIENTLY TO ATTEND THE END which shall reueale the VERITY when iust gwerdon shall to euery Man be distributed accordingly And thirdly Seeing some are so doggedly violent and vayngloriously doting that they can not like consent or well suffer any od Man beside them selues or otherwise then by them selues to receiue due Salary either of Credit Commendation or liberall Consideration where their word or working directly or indirectly may hinder the same Fourthly how pitifull is the Case that diuers of sundry states haue of Late become so shameles lyers and to some priuate mens liues thereby so dangerous That if Credit had bin giuen to them by other than the light hedded sort of such Murders and Treasons as most diuell like they haue imagined and reported to be and withall wholy of their own hellish myndes without any spark or drop of Veritie haue fathered the same vpon the very Innocent yea so much an Innocent as for any such thought in his hart at any tyme embracing or ●ostering It had bin greatly to haue bin douted that the mighty wrath of God would not so long haue forborn the iust reuenge of so haynous abhominacions taking vpon aswell such wicked and principall Forgers as on other the fickle fauourers or careles sufferers of the same any whit to preuaile Seeing the Prince of Darkenes hath sundry such his Factors And yet one other kinde more wicked and abhominable than the rehearsed which are such as not onely they them selues commi● Diuelish horrible facts but also practise other very fraudulent feats And all to their priuate Lucre onely Chiefly ayding and furnishing vp their own shamefull Credit herein with the Cownterfeting of other honest and learned Men their letters as written vnto them in such their vngodly and vnlawfull affayres Or as falsly reporting their Conferences had with them to the behoof say they of such as are become their miserable and Cosened Clients And Sixthly how almost without remedy hath the most wily Tyrant and Insatiable Bludsucker layd the plat for a wofull Tragedy contriuing yf the power and Iustice diuine did not bridle his malitious Rage and Infernall fury How hath he I pray you insinuated his Credit with some so far and so long since that diuers vntrue and Infamous Reports by their Sinister information haue bin giuen vp to such as haue gathered Records of those Mens Acts who dyed in the Cause of Veritie And so the same hurtfull vntruthes beyng yet the rather Credited by reason of the Dignity of the place wherin they were enstalled haue seemed bot● to the foresayd Diuelish Cosener and also to the Credulous Cosen yea and to very many others to haue bin a certain kynde of warrant To the one without feare to Counterfet letters or Discourses answerable to the foresayd fowle vntruthes vnaduisedly Recorded And to the other without suspition lightly to Credit any such matter reported And so hath the Feend Infernall most craftily and vnduly gotten the honest Name and Fame of
