life forth of your harts It was the due of his beastlines and will be the reward of your insolent liuing without amendment You are yet yong by prowesse may recouer more then you haue by prodigalitie wasted A vertuous end repaireth the dishonors of a vicious life But shame lyueth when lewd men are dead A prodigall and voluptuous humor I know is hardly purged bicause the norishments are many and sweete But when I consider that you are Gentlemen I straightwaies hope that you will easilye subdue these affections There is nothyng more pretious to man then life nor nothing more fearfull then death Yet the noble Romaine Gentlemen your auncestors in actions of honour preferred the last before the first If you be heires of their vertues Vsurers cannot purchase that patrimonie And therefore

their former lasciuiousnesse discouered a great dismaye of Spirite In the ende with abased Countenaunces vppon their knees they humbly acknowledged his gratious benefits confessed their owne vnworthynesse and faithfullie promised to obay his fatherly Counsailes The good Emperour

this hope made forthwith Proclamation of the Emperours Commaundement And at the appointed time the grauer sort of the Cittizins with a multitude of the Communaltie being assembled the Emperour and a chosen company of Senators with a sterne countenaunce passed by the people and mounted in the Chayre of Maiestie as one distempered with a great passion with an angrie Countenaunce and a still tongue hee setled his eyes vpon the Cittizins And not-with-standing they saluted hym with many dutifull acclamatious as Liue long O noble Emperour the chosen of the Goddes the Glory of the world the Soueraigne of Kynges and prosperytie of Roome yet he seemed neuer a whytte the more affable as wyllynge they should knowe that his wisdome had searched their corupt consciences therfore little

Neighbourly among men If we shuld salute you as Senators your own consciences wold witnesse that we mocked you for the good Senators trauell for the benefite of the Publique-weale and you only labour

me this is no proper Title for you for they and you differ in conditions as good doth from bad Those Cittizyns or good people of Roome by their Vertues crowned Roome with the Honour of a Cittie and more with this Title The Head of the Worlde For as diuine PLATO saith it is not sumptueus Buildynges that giueth name of a Cittie but the Cruilytie and worthinesse of the Cittyzyns And on the contrary-parte you pollute Roome with so many abhominations as where in times past she hath ben called the head of the world she may now be as aptly called the tayle of iniquitie If none of all these

Iustice But admit this lybertie were without checke you would be the cōfusion of your own-selues you haue experience of the Vermins to whome wee rightly compared you the Moathe consumeth the Cloath and in tyme for lacke of iustenaunce starueth it selfe The iyke doth the Caterpyller amonge Fruict and with continuance the Canker-rust in Iron And you that denoure the wealth of the CITTIE dwell vppon the Possessions of the Gentlemen and oppresse the multitude with bondage what gayne you by this By Crueltie you purchase hatred of your Neighbours and the Ambitious wyll enuie your aboundance of wealth and then this followeth If they can not be strengthned with forein power your familiars wyll invade you with ciuil discention For among those that haue liued prodigally this rule is obserued whē their Purses are emptie their heads are occupied with a thousand mischiefes to com passe a newe supply And which is most to be feared they be not so perrillous cunnyng in their practises as they are Deuillysh resolute in their Executious If they sell you their landes for money to spend riotously whē that help is past they wyl cut off your heads fyre your Houses and sacke this famous Cittie to susteine their lasciuious humoures For without speciall grace in prowd minds want can not suppresse desire to spend You haue reade the experience in the Historie of vnthriftie CATTILINE and his Confederats how he murdered the worthiest Cittezins without mercie made spoyle of their Gooddes without lawe and beseaged Roome with a shrewde daunger you are lyke to be partakers of their Afflictions vnlesse you bee more moderate in gayning of Gentlemens liuyngs and they lesse riotous in spendynge of your money When PHILIP Kyng of MACEDONS made warre vppon the PERSIANS hauing intelligence that they abounded in all maner of delicate vyandes sumptuous Garments and wastful expences he foorth with retyred his Army and said it was needelesse too make warre vpon those that within a while would cut one anothers throates And truely though PHILLIP his answere were short his iudgement was waightie for as mightie Ryuers wyll soone run drie when their noorishyng Spryngs are turned another way so wealthy Citties can not but be subuerted when euery man doth cleane contrary to his function Among the Phylosophers MAN is called MICROCOSMOS or a little worlde for that in him is figured a Modell of

Noble-men thought the Cenfors dealt verse sharplie with Philippus considering that hee was a man of much honestie and great learning and so certefied the Emperour But the Emperour approoued their Iustice and answered If the common wealth may euermore haue such officers in short space there shall be found in Roome more men worthie to be Emperours than I at my first comming found good Senators And vndoubtedlie where the offences of the best are neuer pardoned the worst will amend for feare of extreeme vengeance The proofe appeareth in Alexanders gouernment who by the seuere executiō of the lawes so brideled the dispositions of the wicked that it may be saide they grew to be vertuous rather by custome then good inclination Yea it is written that his seueritie thus much profited As leading a great armie against Artaxerses the Persians said he had brought an armie of Senatours rather than of Soldiours when at his comming to the Empire the Senatours manie of them were as dissolute as common Soldiers And one especiall cautle hee vsed in the searche of mens behauiours hee woulde manye tymes in disguysed habyte with diuers others by hym especiallye elected take vpō him the Office of the Censors and in euery corner he had secretly suche faythfull Explorers as mens proper Houses were no Couerts for naughtie practises nor the Senat-house for partial Iudge mentes And by this Pollycie he discouered many naughtie matters besides cōmon trespasses as the Treason of Oninius the false accusation of Geminus by his Lybertines or Copyholders as also of the mortall mallice of Duillius and Gorta towardes the said Geminus In so much as the people seyng nothyng that was euyl could escape his vengeāce al men indeuored to do well to purchase his fauour THE most Noble and

wisdome England which at the beginning of his Raigne was a deformed and decreped Commonwealthe by reason of the longe tyme of the Cyuylwarres which durynge syx Kinges Raignes made barrayne feildes and

needefull to execute then to make Lawes and therfore not trustyng the corruption of common Informers who for lucre or gain attemptyng many vexations against poore men and for feare seeke to please the ritche he committed the execution of the Penall Lawes to the charge of these two worthie Coūsellers sir Richard Empson Knight and Richarde Dudley Esquier who so seuerely chastened the rich and great Offenders as they stirred the inconstant cōmunaltie after the death of the vertuous Henrie the seuenth to seeke their lyues who had their willes for feare of Commotion thease two worthie Maiestrates

followers of their owne confusion One said to Antisthenes The people speaketh much good of you Why saide he what hurt haue I done As who should say they seldome praise but suche as do euil No Ethnicke deserued to lyue better then Socrates yet the people would haue hym dead The Athenians had a Lawe euerie yeare by the most voyces of the people for ten yeares to banysh two of their principall

many mo whome Histories record to shewe the light Iudgementes of Cōmons Danté the Italian Poet saithful truely of them it is seldome seene that the people crye not Viua la mia morte innoia la mia vita Let liue my death let die my lyfe Yea those great estates that seek to please the people for the most parte haue had the endes of enemies to their Countrey When Cicero sawe that Caesar was in hye fauour with the people of Rome he cryed out It is great pitie that the affabilitie of Cesar should be the ouerthrow of the Weale-publique And truely Cicero prophesied rightly ●…or by their fauour Caesar iudged the Iudgementes of the Senate and sent the good and graue Cato to Prison whose vertues obtayned reuerence of the woorst liuers But notwithstandyng the Affections of the multitude coueiteth their owne vndoynges yet their incouragement proceedeth of greater capacyties And therfore the redy way to keepe them in awe is seuerely to punysh their Chief-taynes In all tumultes it is euidently seene that if their Captaynes yelde they ronne away if their Incouragers be dismayde they sing Peccaui do Iustice vpon the great Offenders and the meaner wyll soone amend Alexander in his

vnlesse one neighbour inuited an other but sufferant hath brought this mischiefe to such a custome that if there were many more Citizens ordinaries they should not need to fawn vpon the inferior sort

citizens for the most part depend vpon their credit therfore are loath that there should be an open testimony of their vnthriftines All the better for the biting cheter Close in a chamber a cogging

the causes therof euen these wicked ordinaries They be places vnto which magistrates come not therefore the abuses vnknowen vnto them But I think it a work of much honesty to reueale them and in the magistrate a work of more iustice to reforme them and vndoubtedly although this be true that I write the euils far more than I discouer yet in discouering of the faults faultie men I find my
