Elizabeth O worthie Prince neuer enough to be commended by the weaknesse of a humane pen for I thinke no Tullian no surely nor Tertullian eloquence could sufficiently compile thy commendations and I doubt not but thy vertues haue engrauen more noble thoughts on Thee in the hearts of all than can be expressed by the hands of any But to returne to the famous Off-spring of this happie King Frederick the second and not to forget Augusta third daughter to King Frederick the second and Sister to Queene Anne and Aunt to our worthie Prince Charles borne in the yeere of Christ 1580.

sit vpon thy Throne so long as the Sunne and Moone endureth which hast likewise the number of thy friends increased more than the multitudes of thine enemies is augmented Oh happie France who gauest birth to a Princesse which giueth life to thee promiseth safetie to thy Confines which is the Ornament of thee as thou art the Ornament of the world which mayst ioy in each benefit thou affoordest yet in nothing more than Her Happie in this Contract is Christendome for although now it may for a time endure the corrosiue of war yet it shall be healed with the plaster of peace and a wrangling mother shall beget a quiet daughter and the purifying of the aire shall bee the issue of storme and lightning Happie in this Contract are Christians for they see the bow of the wicked broken and the horne of the righteous exalted the woman in trauaile shall forsake the desert the Church shall put off her mourning weeds and put on the robes of comfort the name of Christ and the Gospell shall bee exalted and the man of sinne and perdition cast into euerlasting destruction But still me thinks there be some sicke queasie stomackt people who distaste all sweet delicates and onely delight in sowre and vnsauory sallets who haue such timorous tender consciences as they feare where there is no danger making that which otherwayes well applied should be the cause of their rest the mother of disquiet fearing lest this Contract should bring an innouation of religion For say they was not I pray you Salomon seduced and brought to idolatrie by marying Did not Abraham forbid Eleazar his seruant nay bound him by an oath not to take his sonne a wise amongst the Canaanites but his owne kinred and were not the Iewes forbidden to match with the Heathen T is true but it is a question whether this was any otherwayes ceremonially enioyned to the Iewes and not necessarily imposed vpon the Gentiles Moreouer if the seruant of Abraham could not haue found a woman for Isaak that would haue come with him hee had beene discharged of his oath Likewise Prince also are publique persons and ought to be Supporters of the publique welfare and therefore that mariage may be lawfull for Him which seemeth inconuenient for a priuate man in regard that Hee is not so much to respect that which may bee for his owne but his peoples welfare No doubt could Ioseph haue well forsake Aegypt without the preiudice of the Country inferring a generall discommoditie he would haue disposed himselfe it may be with more ioy and contentment but God had allotted that by his meanes Aegypt should be preserued nay and I may well say not so much Aegypt as Israel might haue safetie therefore Ioseph must bee brought into Aegypt by a strange meanes matched with a strange women and what was all this to intimate but that Ioseph was sold to Aegypt that Israel might be preserued frō famine and no doubt Gods wisedome doth oftentimes see beyond the reach of mans apprehension and may match a diuersity of Religion to make an vniformity of faith to the end that there may bee one Shepherd one sheepefold one Christ one Christian faith For is not in her brest the whole globe of this worlds worth contained is not her bosome a stately Theater in which each seuerall vertue acteth a liuely part is not the Iuory compared to her whitenes and Aurora pale being ioyned to her blushes her blushes the which modesty doth alwayes dye which notwithstanding doth alwayes liue in her countenance whose matchlesse vertue is not like a Pearle found in a dunghill but dwelling in so faire a lodging It is she only whose beautiful form is such rare physicke as it is able to make an old Prince young and to make a young Prince liue till he be aged True but it is an ancient position that stately buildings must haue great meanes to maintaine them and such rare beauties rich reuenues to vphold their luster for the whitest cloth doth soonest take soyle the richest vesture soonest spoyled if not well looked to and the fairest creature most subiect to be deformed and wrinckled with want pouerty and afflictions It is requisite therefore that your most curious workemanships should be most curiously kept that pictures excellently drawne should be excellently preserued God therefore with whom all things past and to come are present foreseeing the excellency of this modell of true perfections gaue her beautie to her vertues and meanes to her beauty for what Princesse in Europe shall haue a richer dowry The treasure which followes her as a seruant whithersoeuer shee goeth is in finite and as shee wanteth no wealth her selfe so that Kingdome shall want no riches which doth enioy her for what greater riches than happinesse and what greater happinesse than that which she bringeth to the place shee shall inhabit Is it worth or same which they thirst after what greater fame than her beauty and yet her beauty lesse than her least vertue Surely that Kingdome shall need no sunne in which her vertue shineth that Hemisphere no light in which such a light is resplendent no riches in which is such a Iewel Neither is she meanely powerfull in her mighty Allies for as she is neere to all men in affection for what heart can hate so harmlesse a creature so she is deare to many Princes by affinity as to her brother in vertues as well as by birth Lewis the 13 King of the French and Nauarre a Prince so vertuous so valiant that the one might make him prosperous in peace the other triumphant in victories for hee is not onely his Fathers heire in his Kingdome but is like to be his successour in his conquests for though his face as yet doth scarce shew his sex yet his fortitude prooues him a man a man of such inuict courage and incredible force that few can equall none exceed him for though time as yet hath not much outstript him in regard of his tender yeares yet hee hath outstript time who indeed so farre goes beyond all his time and yeares that whereas others seeme to watch and catch time which alwaies stealeth away with a gliding slie pace yet hee seemeth to flie from time time to run after to catch him in so much as when following times shall reade the storie or rather the beginning of his life they shall admire to see one so young in yeares and courage so old in wisdome and experience and shall thinke by his president that discretion hath shaked hands with the gray head hoarie haires as an house ouerweake and vnworthy of such an inhabitant and taken the Castle to defend her selfe against her enemies intemperance and vnchastitie rage fury and diuers other such like troopes of aduerse enemies and enuious aduersaries for though intemperance and vnchastitie are vsuall I had almost said for so they are accounted veniall sinnes yet He is a rider and ruler of his affections reyneth in
