that Common Weale Moreouer if wealth abound let not such spend that lauishly wantonly or carelesly For that benefiteth not any much lesse strangers in a strange Nation especiall the religious the same being a scandall to their profession So in matters and affaires of the ciuill State let them not entermeddle nor be curious searchers into the secrets therof For being placed in a State only for zeale of Religion they must giue continuall shew of vertue and shunne euerie thing that may breed iealousie least that State into which they are receiued hold them rather for Spies then for Religious professors Neither let such bee noted for fayneants and idle persons for such corrupt an Estate And let them bee euer kinde and respectiue to the people with whome they are suffered to liue amongst rather sufferers of iniuries then offerers of any wrong to them neuer accepting Duello but by the permission of the Magistrate for capitall wrong Lastly that thorough no perswasion of their friends at home or of enemies abroad or of their owne tempting affections they goe about treacherously or rebelliously to practise or rise against their natiue Soueraigne in any sort howe vniust or vngodly soeuer their Prince be but rather seeke vnto God to turne his heart and to giue a peaceable returne home vnto them The last point we will briefly handle concerning their offices when they happily shal be recalled or permitted to returne in two obseruations First that howsoeuer the State stands affected it being permitted to them to haue libertie of conscience and priuate exercise of Religion Not to attempt or consent vnto any commotion insurrection or any such treasonable action but to carry loyall hearts towards the Prince and State not once publikely speaking or writing against the Ecclesiastical policie nor be strict and ouer-precise in things externall and indifferent but carrie respect vnto the times and late standing of things vsing all things to the glorie of God without offence or breach of conscience And considering that there is of most things a ciuill and superfluous vse let such retaine the Ciuill and construe euerie thing rather to the best and to edification then to preiudice the conscience of one another leauing the superstitious vseage to those that vppon good knowledge doe vse thē That other is the sociable peaceable carriage of euerie one to his neighbour seeking al occasiōs to encrease loue and mutu●l societie As concerning other things required in Trauellers let it be sough for in the Voluntarie trauellers which now offer themselues to be discoursed on being the proper subiect of our point in hand 3 Before wee enter into the listes of this matter there are some things considerable for there be some that go vnder the name of voluntarie trauellers moued out of their parents pleasure and will The callings of which may seeme equally lawfull no doubte so their parents performe their offices and haue them well guided instructed in the interim of their iourny for trauell to some bodies are as new birthes that beare them of dull mindes and sowre good quicke and sweete conuersing spirits and inclinations yea amendeth many imperfections of nature so as the lawfulnesse of the parents ende and purpose haue a lawfull pretence also Thus may the efficient and finall causes come foule one of another for the clearing of which confusion I iudge it needefull to consider a few words of the endes in generall that when the particular kindes of trauailers shall be mentioned their endes by implication may appeare Of endes lawfull there are two heades one Prime and principal the other Congruent and Secondarie The prime is diuine and spirituall That afterwards we may leade a more quiet contented and peaceable life to the honor and glorie of God with knowledge and vnderstanding And this no doubt ought to bee the first marke for euerie man to shoote at in this life that by doing the reuealed will of God euerie one may seek vnto himselfe the assurance of heauenly happinesse which is incomprehensible and eternall That other Congruent and Secondarie is agreeable also and fitting the calling of euerie particular being of two sorts Publike or Priuate The Publike is most honorable and should stirre vp euerie man with delight to vndertake trauaile for the good of ones Countrie Neither is the Priuate discommendable considering it giueth satisfaction or at the least sufficiencie to liue well and happily according to the humor of the world whereby it may be apparant that the motiues and ends of some are all one Moreouer seeing it may be doubted whether all persons may be included vnder the third ranke of Regular Trauellers and also whether all times be fitting for these to vndertake Trauaile And lastly whether euery age be congruent with these let vs in order cleare these three points To the first I obserue three Opposers to wit Nature which prohibiteth Infants and decrepit persons whose defect of vnderstanding and doting age pleadeth insufficiencie Imperfection others as fooles madde men and furious persons whose disabilities of minde are such as no hope can be expected for the one or other Lastly the Sex in most Countries prohibiteth women who are rather for the house then the fielde and to remaine at home then trauaile into other Nations but in speciall cases As touching the second what times are fittest for the voluntarie trauellers to goe in we must obserue a duple season either of their owne Countrie or of those whereinto they would trauaile Touching the first let none trauaile at those times when their Countrey is engaged with Ciuill or expecteth warres For to leaue the same in time of necessitie were vnnaturall and dangerous in the one case it being disparageable to leaue the Countrie when enemies inuade the same in the other case it may proue perilous to such many sundrie wayes And therfore that time is best whē ones Countrie is in peace and tranquilitie Touching the second that the seasons also of such Countries where into such trauaile ought to be regarded it belongeth to euery particular to make obseruance When he may reape most profit thereby in the shortest time namely the souldier when there are warres the Ciuilian or Lawyer when great matters are debated in Parliaments Vniuersities or disputations concerning points of equitie prerogatiue iurisdiction and such like The Diuine when any Generall or Nationall Councel is heald touching their profession The Mechanicke when such and such Artes and trades doe singularly florish c. Yet euerie man so trauailing must take heede how he goe into a Countrie that is iealous of his Prince and subiects which chaunceth euermore when Princes are enimies or when they haue intestine warres and factions that vse any policie to aduantage their partie Now the third and last is whether any age be congruent for these voluntaries This is a harde thing to resolue vpon for there may be reasons on
the interim of trauell Lastly what commendable carriages and behauiour such are to expresse at their returnes to the further honour of themselues good of the State and glorie of God The first of these according to the ancient diuision of Causes hath fowre head mouers but it may be impertinent to intreat of aboue two at this present namely of the efficient and finall For the formall esteemed causes which are pedestriall equestriall or nauticall stand either at the disposition of the efficient or pretend perfection and vse from the finall In like manner the materiall causes which pertaine either to the bodie or the minde though in subiect they differ not alwayes yet in consideration of the places and the things in them contained being obiects to be respected may either depende vpon the pleasure of the efficient or from the finall draw their motion and contentation There are only three iust efficients next vnder God which is the efficient of all good things in a secret manner that ought to stirre vp men to trauell from their Countrie which as a parent tyeth all in duetie to respect it before sorteine parts and wherein euerie one ought to leade his life godly and soberly to aduance the Common-weale thereof Those are first the pleasure of the prince or State or Law vnder which men liue The second in number though in order preferable aboue all things in the world is the maintenance and exercise of true Religion and Godlinesse The third is a godly thought to do good in the Church and Common-weale grounded either vpon probable reason or vndertaken for priuate necessitie and respect Seeing the two former belong either to Non voluntarie or Inuoluntarie trauellers it shall bee the more sparingly discoursed of them in regarde the Voluntarie are the the true subiects of our point in hand The Persons first occasioned to trauell by the Princes or States fauour are either men of peace or men of warre Those of peace are either honorable or not according to the circumstances of places persons and times to whom and in what times they are sent The honourable be either Embassadors Commissioners or Messengers with or without credence The not honorable be Postes and such like Currers necessarie in States to aduertise Princes speedily concerning their mindes or such as goe vnder the name of Intelligencers As cōcerning the honourable though the prouidence of euerie Prince State make election of meete personages to vndergoe such charge as is committed vnto them and are euer well instructed concerning principall matters and momentall yet for other mens obseruations there are fiue circumstāces required of these principall Trauellers to bee considered First from whom such are sent Secondly to whome and to what gouernement Thirdly what is their Embassage in speciall Fourthly what they themselues are so chosen to vndergoe the office of Embassadors of Commissioners or Messengers And fiftly that the States of those Coūtries fashiō of the people as welfrom whence as vnto which they are sent be pondered at the time of their legation which shal enable thē the more to be answerable in all points of cōsequencie that the Prince sending may be cōpleatly serued honored that the State or Prince to whome may accordingly admire and haue the Embassage and them in recommendation that the Embassage may take best effect And lastly that no reproche chance vnto them either concerning their traines or themselues but contrariwise commendation reward Moreouer it is required of such that they be eloquent to obtaine and efect that which they plead for in negotiations prudent in accusing excusing demanding denying and such like politicke affaires liberall honest humane popular but with respect ciuile in words and ceremonies faithfull aboue all carefull to dispatch affaires and painefull to ripen and prepare them and lastly obseruant in forreine affaires to get intelligēce These may be sufficient at this present As touching the not honorable though wee might be also silent passe thē ouer for the reasō aforesaid yet let these things be remembred First that Postes whether mediatly or immediatly be speedy and faithful to put in execution things committed to their charge Secondly as concerning Intelligencers and Referendaries being persons of notable esteeme to support the policie of the Estate by the knowledge of the secrets of forreine powers and daily occurrences that chaunce in them Wherby Princes may shew all offices vnto their friends and confederates and be sufficiently armed with knowledge to resist the malice of their enemies or encounter such as are held in iealousie These are sent out by the mediation of the Councell in most States or by some of the principall Of these Intelligencers it is required first before their vndergoing so dangerous an actiō To speak singularly the tongues that may stand them in stead in that Countrey out of which they must gather intelligence and to imitate the common gestures and behauiour of those nations to cloke their purposes the more artificially Also to bee well accōmodated of things needefull for their enterprises the which being variable and changeable according to the alteration of States and times haue no certaine rules Only this that such may safest trauell vnder the shewes of those people which that State wherein such must trauel to get intelligence hath the least ielousie of and are in good friendshippe Lastly to keepe the order and manner of their enterprise so secret as that those which send out such shall not know the plot of all things if so be the same be deuised by the Intelligencers themselues which is euer least dangerous Moreouer it is required of such to enure themselues to endure the accidentes of Sea or Land as stormes heate colde excesse of meates and drinkes sickenesse much riotte of speech simplicitie and such like And in a word whether abroad or at home let such be carefull they be not discouered for Intelligencers or had in ouermuch iealousie but so warily demeane themselues that they may aswell secure their own persons as benefite the State by their intelligence There is an other kinde of Intelligencers but base in respect of the former by reason they assume a libertie to say what they list who are inquisitors or diuers into the behauiours and affections of men belonging to a State the carriages of whom are verie insupportable oftentimes exercising any libertie and licentiousnesse to prie into the hearts of men to know how such stand affected But being also necessarie euils in a State I would counsaile such as vnhappily shall haue to deale with this packe of Muches not so fauourablie to suffer them to raile vpon the Nobilitie of this Land and discouer faults in the State to blaspheme and dishonor the Maiestie of God and of their Prince but rather to coniure such so as neuer afterwardes they shall delight in that humorous-carnall-tempting and diuellish profession The other sort which
and that hath credence with the Prince that is magnanimous and more feared for his vprightnes thā hated for his policie according to Machiauel Fiftly being thus known vnto the Councel that he couet not special fauor after the guise of a sycophāt or after an ambitious maner of any other persons but that he make shew of a constant and an vnderstanding Gentlemen Moreouer though it be requisite to be thus generally knowen of all yet let such take heede to intrude into the friendship of any but with great respect and for good cause vsing modestie and sparingnesse euermore in reuealing of any thing obserued in trauaile vnlesse vpon demands and in vrgent causes and seldome any thing of a strange and incredible nature but to familiars and in priuate Lastly in our sixt point let our Trauailer from time to time procure of other Trauailers Merchants and others such things as they haue obserued for it is a thing impossible for one man to obserue all things fully in a small time required in trauailing to be knowen as we haue considered in the sixe generall points of knowledge comparing them with his owne as with such bookes as happily haue discoursed of them Finally let him plot to haue dayly intelligence if so be hee liue from the Court retired of euery accident forreine and domesticke in the Court Land and Citie by the which the obseruations made in trauaile shal be kept in continuall tilthe and being well husbanded shall occasion at the least sweete contentment the onely pleasure in the world which no worldling can obtaine if not aduancement in the State to doe more good than priuate persons in the Church and Common-weale which is the godly and proper ende of our trauaile and pilgrimage here on earth that thereby God may be singularly glorified the Prince serued the Common-weale and Church benefited and our selues prepared for a greater happinesse then can bee represented in any contentment in this life The which I hartily wish to be respected of all that intend trauaile and to all in all perfection FINIS Trauayling duple Regular trauailing Two orders of Trauaylers Regular Trauailers triple Foure things of Trauailers obserued Two moouing causes
