TO THE KINGS MOST EXCELLENT MAIESTIE KINGS Mighty Soveraigne like Planets in their Orbes under that Primum Mobile from whence all beings derive their existence and continuance are seated in their severall Thrones to rule and guide the people committed to their charge by the sweet influence of Love and unreprovable motion of their justice which axiome of State more especially directs it selfe to your Majesties consideration who as the Sunne in respect of other Luminaries do shine in a spheare of such eminency as besides the unparalleld lustre it retaines at home doth communicate its splendor to forraine parts as a patterne for the greatest Potentates And hereupon as according to the propinquity or distance of the Sunne in its annuall peregrination the elementary bodies receive their augmentation or diminution accordingly so are the hearts of all your loyall Subjects illuminated with the presence of this gracious aspect and miserably overshadowed with sorrow in the least absence thereof But bleare eyes are no fit objects for such bright rayes nor are meane conceits allowable subjects for Royall apprehensions neverthelesse as the Sunne loseth nothing of its splendor when it so farre declines in its beames to kisse the low shrubs as well as the tall Cedars and though it be alike diffusive to all yet admits no taint in the touch of the vilest creature So if your Majesty vouchsafe to cast downe a gracious eye on the humble present of your meanest Subject as from the hand of a more able giver your Highnesse cannot suffer much in this abasement but your goodnesse shall shew it selfe transparent and like that glorious mirrour of all beautifull perfections Howsoever I durst not to have presumed thus high upon any imagination that your Majesty wanted farre better information or advise especially from so honorable an Assembly as that of the present Parliament but as in a generall obstruction of water currents it is naturall for the shallowest Brookes as deepest Rivers to seeke way for their passage likewise in a common calamity the meanest who are commonly the first sufferers cannot be blamed for putting a finger to the griefe nor justly constrained to expresse their complaints in silence onely But if my intentions have faulted in the matter or manner being errors of skil not will I beseech your Majesty so farre to beare with either as may pardon the presumption of him that is a daily Orator for your Majesties temporall and eternall happinesse George Raleigh ALBANIA OR Certaine Concernements of GREAT BRITANNIE ALas poore Princesse Megala a Mirrour to shew that there is no contentment to be sought for in earthly transitories sometimes happy in thy private fortunes more happy to have lived by loving Neighbours in a Country rich in large Provinces potent in free States and Princes glorious in magnificent Cities stately Temples goodly Pallaces and large Edifices adorned with delectable Groves and Walkes for the Muses fenced with strong Castles Cittadells and Bulwarkes graced with delightsome Gardens curious Arbours Chrystall Fountaines artificiall Columnes Pyramids Spires Obeliskes priviledged with honorable Liberties and immunities famous for great Marts inventive Crafts-men canopyed as it were in divers parts with faire Woods and spacious Forrests carpeted if I may so speake with flowry Meadowes and verdant Pastures hung round about with Vineyards and Embroydered with Corne-fields inlayd with rich minerals bordered with lofty Mountaines pleasant Vallies and Rivers abounding in most sorts of delicate Fish and for depth capable of Vessells of sufficient burthen for the conveyance of its owne and Forraine Commoditie Alasse did I say sometimes so happy and must now say Sic transit gloria mundi So in the turning of a glasse All worldly glory soone doth passe Unfortunate and most miserable Megala in this last century of yeares having spent more then an Age in pertinacious encounters intestine Warres and tragicall turmoyles lying as it were all this while weltring in the blood of no lesse then a million of Christian Soules and Martiall spirits by meanes whereof the Plague and Famine seconding the cruelty of the Sword hath ushered in the massacring and mourning of thy Nobles the lamentable shrikes and cries of Widdowes and Orphanes the brutish ravishment of grave Matrons and faire Virgins the inhumane dashing in pieces of Infants and sucklings the torturing of all sorts of people by worse diabolicall cruelties then a Turke or Inquisition doe put in practise So that Talia fando quis temperet a lachymis To speake of this What griefe it is And of these heavy misfortunes what end doth there yet appeare how many spectators how few true compassioners have there beene whiles on one side the over-weening Aquilinus whose power makes the justnesse of his quarrell and his quarrell is the cause of all these troubles strengthened with the confederacy and ayd of potent Allies especially by that of the Lord of the silver Mountaines animated thereto by the benediction and encouragement of that arch-enemy of true Religion the great Prince of ceremonies and Key-keeper of Idolana a City sometimes very famous for worthy Heroes and glorious Martyrs when vertue and verity were in most request and now as notorious for superstitious orders of ignorant and lazy votaries as infamous for allowed brothells of leud queanes and strumpets But of all the rabble that attends upon their Demi-god Regicida a ravening Wolfe in a Sheepes habit a subtle pated agent in politique

firebrands of Treason and sedition wheresoever he comes or is any while admitted though most times the sparkes flye about his owne eares and that whiles he is even ready to put fire to his powder-plots and is at the heighth of his Machinations whose impudence is such that the often and manifest discovery of his treacherous designes doth no whit shame or discourage him from the like attempts Upon the first occasion onely intimate your desires by some large gift or proffer and you have him with his associates whereof there are swarmes in Verana be the action never so dangerous or unwarrantable prest and serviceable for the execution and therefore the Princes of Verana especially the Monarches of the blessed Island and Lilly fields have little cause to favour his person or to trust to his flatteries But by what an ill subject am I carryed from the consideration of what I was speaking touching Aquilinus who lookes upon the distresses of Megala with an Eagles eye to prey upon her liberties and fasten her in the chaine of a perpetuall
be but semen Ecclesiae and the sparks that issued from the bonefires in which so many learned and holy men fryed for the witnessing of their Profession flew into the eyes of their persecutors and the shafts they thus madly darted at Heaven and the starres rebounded into their owne bosomes with a vengeance whiles their Tyranny and lives ended shortly after most of them in a fearefull and horrible manner And yet their incredulous abetters will not be so wise to take warning by such evident examples imputing Gods just Judgements either to second causes or wrong ends branding the relation with the credit of a Fable or Legend as hereby willing rather to lose themselves then foregoe any antiquated errour from the corruption of former times and ignorance to them conveyed But this mist being vanished the Sun began to shine againe when the Scepter and true Religion passed under the sway of Leonissa incomparable Leonissa a Princesse of an Heroicke spirit and much differing in disposition and beleife from her sister so that she might justly be termed The Mirrour of her sex and glory of her Kingdome whose excellencies saith a worthy servant of hers without flattery may well be admired but cannot be related in any measure proportionable to the worth of their perfections She was endowed with rare gifts of Nature and adorned with exquisite ornaments of Art well skilled in Languages and in the Sciences and could readily and pithily answer Embassadors and Orators in their severall Dialects As concerning her behaviour she was affable and loving and therefore highly beloved of all her good Subjects she was feared and envyed of her enemies respected and sollicited by her Neighbours whom in their necessity she divers times relieved with Men Monies and Munition she was successefull in all her enterprizes victorious alwayes in her attempts either by sea or Land and safegarded from so many treasons and conspiracies against her person and profession by the divine providence that it seemed to worke miracles in her defence and to point with the finger that shee maintained his cause whom he thus protected and that as she subjected her actions to his glory he enclined her subjects to loyall obedience and willing supplyes so that her Exchequer was alwayes well stored and her people nothing grieved for no new or extraordinary taxes were imposed but by the way of a generall Assembly that was readily granted which was reasonably required and the giver was able enough and not the lesse willing to give againe when occasion required In this manner raigned this vertuous Empresse and lived to the yeares of an aged Matron but dyed a religious Virgin and all good men shed teares at her Exequies Her losse was lamented of all but such as were enemies to truth and the Religion she professed and yet maugre the thunderbolts and bug-beares of Idolana the malicious practices and endeavours of Gloriosa the calumnies of detracting Regicida darted at her person purposed against her Kingdome and leveld at her birth and actions those braving censures of the one vanished into the ayre and as a candle extinguished left nothing behinde them but a stinking snuffe The invincible actions of the second were shamefully and this was Gods owne doing totally defeated but the virulency of the last returned the cup of venome into his owne hand and caused him to drinke his bane therein either wretchedly in other Countries as a fugitive or at home desperately on the gallowes as a traytor whilest a name remaines to her of happy memory and will be in all ages as a precious oyntment spread upon the face of the whole earth Soloccubuit nox nulla sequnta est The Sunne was gone But night came none The Prince was changed the happinesse remained For when the want of issue seemed to put a maske on all faces and to compasse the Region of all hearts with a doubtfull trembling and jealousie of the next succession behold without tumult or delay a Lion Rampant of the Royall Stocke comes out of the North and steps into the Throne with generall applause and to double the content brings along with him another Kingdome like in complection and profession to the hopes of a perpetuall Union May they never attaine their wishes which seeke the discontinuance hereof to the ruine of either In this Princes person being nursed at Helicon and bred on Pernassus the Graces and Muses might well be said to meete together or if Platoes Metempsychosis were admitted that the soule of Palestina's Royall Prophet and harmonious Psalmographist had animated it he was a judicious Divine perswasive Oratour and ingenious Poet very well skilled was he in the interpretation of sacred Oracles singularly dexterous in the resolution of doubts and determination of hard questions and points of difficulty powerfully able in crushing the controversies and untwisting the Gordian knots of Cardinall Opposites and that I faine nothing herein or flatter in any sort his Treatises are sufficient Apologists and witnesses Let good Princes ever have the honour of their deserts He easily bore away the Palme from all other of his ranke contemporary or of preceding ages The truth is he was not addicted tam Marti quam Mercurio he made more use of his pen than of his sword neither can this any whit derogate from his commendation or lessen the worth of his Judgment Nulla salus bello Pacem te poscimus omnes No safety is in Warre For Peace all suters are None but such as are of a turbulent spirit or ignorant what Warre is love to play the beasts and inhumanely gore each other for to satisfie some carnall appetite of ambition Covetousnesse or revenge The Souldier indeed will fight valiantly onely in a good cause being necessitated thereto either for Gods glory or the Kingdomes safety Otherwise if the undertaking respect some private sensuall end the action can be no other then brutish and reasonlesse and here it is much better to purchase peace though at a deere rate then to begin a quarrell though with much advantage The noblest victory is that which is gotten without blood-shed for the policy of the braine more than strength of arme is requisite in an accomplished Captaine and best deserves the Coronet Men were not made to act Tragedies nor to make the world a shambles for humane slaughters saith a reverend man and therefore that Worthy was well advised and his consideration merited high Commendation who had rather save one of his Subjects lives then kill a thousand of his enemies and that Emperour was farre from a bloody disposition whose use was to hang out a white next a blacke ere he was forced to put forth the red flagge signifying thereby that he was more desirous and would use all meanes to save rather than destroy his enemy And with these or the like Precedents his late Majesty induced bent all his endeavours for the composure of those turmoyles and differences which unhappily fell out betwixt the Princes allies and confederates
as yet Albania was without sense of her malady or remembrance of their cause which the good old Chronos perceiving and much pitying as one that had beene a constant friend to her for many yeares had seene much in his time and had overpassed many alterations in himselfe and others posts away for though he was aged he was not slow paced to a solitary grove in a remote Land wherein was a cave so deepe and obscure that it was alwayes night there but he that was wont to travaile no lesse in the greatest darkenesse than at mid-day enters undauntedly and returnes with the faire Alitheia in his hand whom he brings to see the light and she naked though she was is not ashamed to be seene to her he declares in what case he had left Albania and the cause of his comming Alitheia soone conceived what in truth before she feared when she last saw her and therefore was much grieved at her departure so to leave her but seeing the least delay was very dangerous expostulating no farther with the old man about cirdumstances she called to her an old servant of hers named Veridicus whom intending with all speed according as she heard or saw occasion to follow after she sent with Chronos having given him sufficient instructions what to doe Veridicus was as his name spake him an honest tell-troth though plaine yet bold and though forward yet respectfull and he was so well skild in his Art and so confident of his undertakings that if his prescriptions were carefully observed he doubted not of such successe as might be justly expected and in this hope his ability and charity pressing him onward he soone arrives with Chronos in a happy season at the lodging where the sicke Lady was Veridicus staid and knockt at the gate Chronos past on as his manner was when forth comes Philauta a stately dame and opens but casting her eye upon Veridicus and seeing him in such homely array judging of the person by the attire she disdainefully without speaking a word or asking what he would retires her selfe and shut fast the gate after but Veridicus nothing dismaid with this affront well understanding from what subject it proceeded knockes againe and with more earnestnesse such are the times for pooresuters till that Novata another of Albania's attendants more desirous of novelties than fearefull of her Mistresses disturbances le ts him in without further question and then understanding the cause of his comming whether for to satisfie her curiosity or because her Mistresse was forsaken of all others in this desperate estate she ushers him to her presence who presently without more complement or regard of the standers by takes their sicke Lady by the hand feeles the pulse which sometimes was very slow in motion and then presently as violent in agitation he takes the Urinall viewes her state findes it to be of a very high sanguine colour and much troubled he lookes on her visage beholds it wan and gastly he would have asked her some questions but she could not answer for want of the use of her senses besides that her tongue was all blacke and swolne the which and other like symptomes argued the patient to be in a dangerous distemper in all parts of her body And hereby he further perceived that the two prime senses of sight and hearing were so ill affected in their instrumentall nerves that all objects seemed to exceed or lessen from their due proportion in quantity and quality so that discords were taken for unisons and apparences for ture substances and so on the contrary and being in this manner presented to the common sense were likewise delivered over to the phantasy which by reason of divers fumes ingendred in that cell of the braine caused the like error in the judgement and memory and by reason of the ill affection of these superiour intelligible faculties he found the inferiour and more sensitive parts to partak and be oppressed with their particular maladies as the heart to be much passionated with the dissimulations and waverings of Liliana the Lungs to be obstructed and breath faintly through the hot and biting distillations of Idolana the stomacke to be overcharged with the gluttony and surfettings of Aquilina the belly tympanized with the windy vapours of Gloriosa the Loynes impostumatized with the inflammations of lustfull Zelotypia the hands blistered with the itchings of Argyria her legges and feet lamed and swolne with the gout of Argoa into which loathsome estate she was not so much fallen by meanes of native constitution or complection but through infection of the humours by the corruption of the times imitation and too familiar converse with her Neighbours the negligence and ignorance of covetous attendants ill Counsellors and unskilfull Physitians so that Veridicus considering her deplorable estate much grieved thereat and could not but abruptly in some short and passionate expostulation thus expresse it Oh Albania distressed and pittifull Albania and the more said he to be pittyed in thy distresse because Albania There is no time now to thinke on Megala thy owne misery is too much to thinke upon happy hadst thou beene if thou couldst sooner have thought thy selfe unhappy hadst thou beene sensible of thy inward corrasives as thou wert overjoyed with thy outward felicities thy sore had not thus growne to an ulcer nor the pricke brought thee in danger of the Gangrene thy too much overweening in prosperity hath humbled thee to this grievous adversity thy too much magnifying thy owne power and excellencies above thy Neighhours hath now dejected thee to their contempt and conspiracies thy exalting thy selfe in comparison of all others hath almost made thee unworthy the comparision for any But I will not adde reproach to misery The occasion and cause require rather helpe to draw thee out of the danger thou art unworthily brought into then enquiry by what meanes thou wert brought into the danger Both since the time is short and the disease sharpe the cure must be as quicke and the medicine of the greater vertue and operation which the more it smarts the sooner will heale Have but the patience to endure you shall the sooner finde ease and but pardon the rudenesse of the Physitian and let me not be mistaken in the sincerity of my endeavours you shall soone perceive that in the least flattery is most friendship and although a sweet bit doth best please a curious pallat yet that a bitter pill is more profitable and that plaine dealing hath no fellow Having thus said he againe tooke her by the hand and bid her be of good cheare but perceiving that she was insensible of what he spake or did he saw it was high time from the apparent cause to bethinke himselfe of the convenient cure and that first of all it was necessary to use the next meanes for restoring her to the use of her senses that she might come to some feeling of that deplorable estate she was then in To
for hypocrisie his reproofe goes for malice what is reason in others in him is but opinions Whereas the same man would he but flatter and humour men in their conditions beare with their manners and applaud all their courses this were the onely man and worthy all respect I speake not these things as accusing you to be guilty although I know you are somewhat too conformable to the times and too much seeke your owne ease The publike good is more in your talke but I doubt me your private gaine is more in your aime But if it goe not well with the generall your case must needes be lameutable And there fore I would have you timely redresse such errors as you finde your selves to be most guilty of and reclaime others by your counsell and perswasions You must not make any arme of flesh your stay nor lay any false grounds in your imagination that if things succeed according to your fancy all will be well Whilst God is offended nothing can continue long well therefore he must in the first place and at all times be sought unto by teares and Prayers You must meet him with red eyes blubbered cheekes pale visage pensive soule protestations of humility importunities for mercy There must be a true humiliation for sinnes past a setled purpose of amendment You must pinion the wings of all high conceites of your owne worth and expiate fore-past vices with a sacrifice of the contrary vertues And then I will assure you that if all the forces of the world were banded against you for your overthrow if all the subtill braines and politique Machiavilians of Idolana were set together on worke their close or open plots to subvert your Religion or endammage your state should prove but spiders webbes or twists of hempe with Achitophel and Haman to choke their Authors You shall enjoy your Liberties Priviledges Religion Peace with as great freedome as heretofore And now in the second place I must advise you as you be carefull to give unto God those things which are Gods so to render those things which are Caesars unto Caesar custome to whom custome tribute to whom tribute belongeth You must acknowledge as loyall Subjects that your King is Gods supreame Deputy set over you to rule and governe you in all matters Civill and Ecclesiasticke You may not prescribe him in what manner you will be ruled nor by what meanes You may contest with him if he offer wrong by way of Supplication and not of Dispute If his Commands be just you must willingly obey them and herein what he enjoynes strictly you must according to the utmost of your power readily put in execution But if he command any thing directly against the glory of God the contrary of which God commands Whether it be better to obey God or Men judge you But in this case there must be sufferance of the penalty and no resistance against the authority of your Prince And for the wrong he seekes to doe you you must seeke to God to set him in the Right though he take away your Liberties Goods and lives contrary to all Lawes and Equity Yea even to those the performance of which though by force he may not be constrayned in Conscience he is bound Yet you must not curse him in your heart nor touch a lap of his garment with such a thought for he is the Lords Anointed But what spend I breath in these things You have a Religious and gracious Prince one that is zealous of Gods Glory and will be carefull of your good You need not feare that he will be perswaded to any thing that shall oppose the one or hinder the other He will not wrong his owne Soule to hurt you in your Estates or Persons Hee well knowes that though he is not to be accountable to men he hath a wiser and stricter Judge if he doe not execute the charge committed unto him in some sort as he should will call him to account at last because this High place and Authority over others was not committed unto him for his owne pleasure and ease but for his Masters glory and the benefit of the Church And therefore Prayers and Supplications ought to be made incessantly unto God for his preservation and safety above all others For where the Prince is good that people of all others have most cause to rejoyce and blesse God for him and strive to please him in all his just desires And in this respect it must be farre from you to wish him any ill to speake of him without beseeming respect much more to joyne in any councell or confederacy with his enemies and most of all to take up armes except at his Command and for his defence You ought not to murmure against his proceedings nor speake ill of his Officers or Commissioners upon every sleight suspicion Charity will counterpoise the distractions of many occurrences but rashnesse and inconsideratenesse in judgement is an impetuous Passion which beares downe all Reason When things goe not as they should and you know not who is in blame cry downe no man meerely upon report but leave offenders to the tryall of the Lawes by their competent Judges But when you are required or any thing comes to your knowledge which may prove dangerous to the State not to be partiall in Affection to tremble at the sight of a high Tower or guild a mudded wall or feare the countenance of any man For time and justice will weare out the dreames and plots of wicked policy and strenghten the faire proceedings of Truth and Honesty but boldly and impartially to discover what you know And whensoever it shall be thought fit by the States and Commons and that the Kings necessities and occasions so require to be furnished with a supply of monies that then without further question you cheerefully contribute what shall be so imposed And by your voluntary benevolences as time and your abilities shall give you leave to testifie that true affection and love to him which you pretend And these supplies will be with farre greater ease disbursed if you please to substract but somewhat from your superfluities turne some of your excessive and often feastings into fasts or fewer dishes take something from the price and trimming of your garments Use such as may serve for decency and convenience but be not like Antiques or like Apes to follow every new fashion Restraine somewhat from your gaming 's and expences of idle houres Your appetite shall be never the lesse satisfied and your bodies more healthy Your attire according to your degree and calling shall not a jot be the more indecent nor your bodies the lesse warme Besides the more Velvets and Silkes are forborne our owne cloathes shall be in weare and the poore better set on worke in making of them You shall finde wayes enough of more thrifty recreation and have more comfort in the redeeming of your pretious time then in any mispending of it And now
