degrées of men whether they be high or lowe rich or poore rulers or subiects ecclesiasticall or ciuill For what haue others done héerein which knewe not this diuinitie which rightly embraced but humanitie haue they had no teachers no Schoole at all yes verely and that of great antiquitie for as we haue shewed afore Socrates vttering the opinion of the Gentiles affirmeth that Prometheus fet learning out of heauen and brought it vnto men And the Egyptians ere they had the vse of letters expressing their sentences with the images of beasts and figures of other things did vse y e figure of a deawing heauen to signifie discipline and learning so that aswell the Panims as the Hebrewes did acknowledge God to be the author of learning and that it was the deaw of heauen but this dewe among the Gentiles did fall in diuers Countrey● and vppon diuers people which we will recite in order one after another Berosus writeth that about the time of the death of Noe King Sarron amongst the Frenchmen ordeined publike Schooles of learning to represit the outragious behauiour of naughtie men and that King Ingenon for the like cause did the like among the Thuyscones a people of Germany Of which thing also Cornelius Tacitus maketh mention in his booke of the Germane manners Although we haue heere no Scholemaisters named yet let vs place in these examples a noble foundation of the Schoole of humanitie séeing we haue two vetie auntient Kings that erected Schooles for the expelling of barbaritie and intollerable manners Also the same Berosus recordeth that in the daies of Abrahams pilgrimage there reigned amongst the Frenchmen one Druyus a man of great knowledge and learning of whome the Philosophers of Fraunce and the Countreys thereabout taking their learning were a long time afterward called Druides according to the name of their patrone and first maister these were men of great estimation and authoritie for they did determine all causes and controuersies and as it were excommunicate him that would not ● and to their determination they were free from warres from paying of customes or any other dueues which preferments and rewards brought them a great number of Schollers which they reteined twentie yeares in the Schoole of their Philosophie which was chiefely of the power of the Gods of the immortalitie of the Soule of the course of nature as the Starres and their mouing the bignes of the world and the earth Iulius Caesar addeth that this discipline came out of England into Fraunce and those which would learne the same more exactly came hither for it which argueth that either the first founder Druyus himselfe was a Doctor heere in England or else some of his successors within a whiles brought hither their discipline where it was so well entertained that the fountaine thereof was esteemed to be heere But in Egypt were noble Students of Philosophy and wisedome neere about the same time with whome as writeth Iosephus Abraham disputed and in many things instructed them better These are they that were mainteined by the Kings of Egypt so that in the dayes of Amasis the King when all other people were through penurie enforced to sell their lands to Ioseph to the Kings vse they liuing by the Kings ordinarie kept their lands for themselues and their heires Of the three other Kings two namely Sarron and Ing●●on caused their subiects to exercise themselues in learning the third was a teacher and patron thereof but what liberalitie any of them exhibited towards Students we knowe not wherefore let this Pharao Amasis be registred for the first benefactor in this Schoole towards learning whonie his suco●ssors did diligently imitate therein whereby it came to passe that Egypt was a nourserie of learning for other Countreys for out of this Schoole came Atlas the learned Astronomer that inhabited in Mauritania Out of this Schoole came Osiris who when he had trauailed about all the world set vp a piller engraued with the experiments of his iourney Out of the same Schoole came Moses as I haue shewed afore a faithfull Prophet valiant Captaine and prudent Judge of the Lords people And about his time there florished in this Schoole Mercurie Trismegist the wonder of Philosophie whose writings yet in some part remaining declare the same Heerehence came Cecrops King of the Athenians who was skilfull in the toongs Heere flourished King Protheus with his diuine and Propheticall learning Nouit tamque omnia vates Quae sint quae fuerint qu● mox ventura trahantur Phoenix and Cadmus from hence caried the vse of letters into Phoenice and thence Cadmus carted the same to Thebes in Greece which Citie he builded and ruled as King His letters were but sixteene to the which Palamedes in the warre of Troy added foure to

learning resorted into Egypt as to the head and spring thereof In which nomber are Thales Pythagoras and Plato of whom wee shall speake anone Now when learning had taken a little roote in Greece it spred foorth with farre and wide very wonderfully Here then a litle before the time of Debora Phemonoe commonly called Sybilla inuented the arte of Poetrie and wrote her Oracles in hexameter verse whereof some peeces remayne to this day Then florished Orpheus the Thracian and Linus a Thebane two Poets that for their arte and passing wit were reputed to be the issue of the Gods which Virgils words do import making a supposed comparison of himselfe with thē as with the greatest that he could finde Non me carminibꝰ vincet nec Thracius Orpheus Nec Linus huic mater quamuis atque huic pater adsit Orphei Calliopea Lino formosus Apollo Orpheus with his cunning harmonie as Poets fayne ta●●ed wilde beastes and made stones to moue at his pleasure that is in very déede with his swéet eloquence and wisedome he mollisted the fierce manners of vnreasonable men and mooued their stonie hearts to embrace vertue Whose scholler Museus was a princely Poet also Medium nam plurima turba Hunc habet atque humeris extantem suscipit altis Linus wrote much of naturall Philosophie aswell touching celestiall as terrestriall creatures and had two noble Schollers Thamaras that wrote three thousand verses of their Diuinitie and Hercules who enterprised and atchiued such incomparable exploytes for the common profite of mankinde that he was taken for a God on earth After all these in the dayes of Elie Homer the prince of all Poets wrote his excellent workes by the which all good Schooles haue been much furthered euen vnto this day For all those that excelled in learning all those that were sage Lawmakers discreet rulers either at home or abroad either in pe●●e or in warre fet their precepts and examples of
