after died being the one and fiftyeth yeare of his raigne I come now to our Moderne Histories Ferrex and Porrex joyntly succeeded their father Gorboduc in the governement of this Land of Brittaine in the yeare of the World foure thousand seaven hundred and eleven and continued in love and amity for a season but in the end Envy the mother of all misorder and mischiefe so farre prevailed with them that the one began to maligne the others estate insomuch that they both studied and devised to supplant each other thereby to gaine the entire supremacy which first brake out in Porrex who gathering an Army unknowne to his brother thought suddenly to surprise and kill him of which he having notice and yet not able for the present to provide for opposition he was forced to fly into France where craving ayde he was supplyed with a sufficient Hoast of Galls with which landing in England he gave his brother Porrex battaile defeated his Army and slew him in the field Ferrex proud of his victory retyred himself to his Tent whither his mother Midan came by night with some of her women and being freely admitted to the place where he lay sleeping she with the rest most cruelly murdered him and after cut his body into small pieces causing them to be scattered in the field and in these two brothers ended the line of Brute Thus you see a most dreadfull judgement against Envy as well in the vanquisht as the victor but the greatest in the last to be so cruelly murdered rather by a monster then a mother Morindus was the bastard sonne of Flavius King of Brittaine by his Concubine Fanguestela and was inaugurated in the yeare of the World one thousand eight hundred fourescore and ten and made Governour of the Land The Chronicle reports him to have beene of a comely and beautifull personage of liberall gifts having an active body and a most daring spirit and strength withall above any Peere or Subject in the Land but as a grievous staine and blemish to all these good parts and endowments hee was of an envious condition and cruell disposition for he grew jealous of all such as either were great in wealth or gracious in the Court for any noble vertue for the first hee had a way to confiscate their estate and the latter he so suppressed that they never came into favour or grew to preferment being further so subject to wrath that whosoever crost or vexed him he would suddenly slay with his owne hands Afterward his Land being invaded by a Prince of Mauritania he met him in battaile and chased him to the Sea taking many prisoners whom to satisfie this cruelty and tyranny he caused to be put to death in his presence and sight with severall sorts of torments by heading killing hanging burning drowning and other kindes of execution but at the length as testifieth Guido de Columna and others this Morindus whom our English Chronicles call Morwith walking by the Sea side and spying a dreadfull monster upon the shore he out of his bold and Kingly prowesse assaying to kill the beast after a long fight was devoured and swallowed by the monster when he had eight yeares governed the Land which was a most strange and remarkable Judgement Envy and dissension was the first bondaging of this our free and noble Nation in becomming tributary to the Romans King Lud of famous memory being dead during the minority of his two sonnes Androgeus and Tenantius Cassibelan the brother to Lud was made King in the yeare of the World five thousand one hundred forty two who was a Prince noble bountifull just and valorous when the young Princes came to yeares of discretion hee gave to Androgeus the elder the Citie of London with the Earledome of Kent and to Tenantius the younger the Dukedome of Cornewall In this season Iulius Caesar being in the warres of France and beholding the white cliffes and rocks by Dover demanded of the Gauls whether it were inhabited or no or by whom being satisfied of his demand hee first exhorted the Brittaines by writing to pay tribute to the Romans to whom Cassibelan returned a short and sharpe answer with which Caesar much incensed makes ready his Navy and people but when they should have landed they found long and sharpe stakes pitcht by the Brittons which put them to great trouble and danger yet at length gaining the shore Cassibelan with a strong Army of Brittans gave them battaile and beat them to their shippes Notwithstanding Caesar soone after made a second Invasion with a greater power and had the like brave repulse to his great dishonour For which double victory Cassibelan having first given great thankes to the gods assembled his Lords and Peeres to feast them and held sundry triumphs and sports amongst which two young Knights one Nephew to the King called Herilda and the other Euelinus allyed to Androgeus made a challenge for wrastling in the performing of which exercise they grew to words and from words to blowes so that parties were made and in this tumult Herilda was slaine whose death the King tooke heinously and sent to his Nephew Androgeus that Euelinus might be delivered up to know how he could acquit himselfe of the murder which Androgeus denying the King gave him to understand that it was in his power to chastise his presumption which the other fearing sent to Iulius Caesar not onely letters but thirty hostages to assure him of his fidelity that if hee would make a third attempt for Brittaine he would ayde him with a puissant Army of which Caesar gladly accepting with a strong hoast landed and encamped himselfe neare unto Canterbury of which when Cassibelan had notice he marched towards him and betwixt them was fought a strong and bloudy battaile where many were slaine on either side and the day likely to incline to the Brittons when on the sudden Androgeus came in with fresh forces by which the wearied Souldiers were compelled to forsake the field and gave place to the Romans who slew them without mercy so that Cassibelan with those few that were left retired himselfe to places of safety Whose valour Caesar admiring would not prosecute his victory any further for the present but offered him peace conditionally that he should pay a yearely tribute of three thousand pounds to the Romans which conditions Cassibelan accepted and still continued King and Androgeus who had so basely betrayed his Countrey not daring to trust his owne Nation whom in so high a nature he had injured abandoned the Realme and went with Caesar. Now if any shall aske me where were Gods dreadfull Judgements in all this I answer what greater then for a free Nation to lose their immunities and become tributary and vassals to strangers from which they were not freed many hundred yeares after Long after this Constantine was made King and left three sonnes behinde him Constantine the eldest because he was of a very milde and gentle temper and no
to decline him to necessity or want he then in a proud and insolent ostentation puft up with the vanity of his owne fancie admitted all sickly and diseased persons to have free accesse unto him for whose cures he demanded no other satisfaction or reward but that they should acknowledge him their new Creator not contented to be called by the name of Apollo or Aesculapius the two Imaginary gods of Physicke and Chirurgery but his ambition was to be called Iupiter himselfe yet soone after being quite abandoned by his owne Art and forsaken by his fellow Physitians he suddenly died of an incurable Impostume Neither have Emperours Kings and Princes with other Sages and seeming wise men beene onely tainted with this superarrogant haughtinesse and ambition but this miscellane sinne which hath intruded it selfe into all delinquencies and malefactions whatsoever claimeth a predominance over all estates qualities functions manufactures sexes and ages whether in Court Citie Campe or Country from the scarlet to the russet from the Scepter to the sheep-hooke the Tetrarch to the Tradesman For instance The rurall Girle being a little flattered shall be easily perswaded to be a rare courtly Gentlewoman nay even kitchen-maides have held competitorship with Court Madams no lesse proud though perhaps lesse painted and the very course Coridon will scarce give precedence to the complementall Courtier thinking himselfe as well accommodated in his rustick russet as the other in his richest raiment In the like manner I could goe thorow all qualities and A minimo ad maximum from the least to the greatest which for brevities sake I omit desiring rather to satisfie the judicious Reader with matter then manner the substance and not shadow of discourse And yet to looke a little further into the nature of this deadly sinne which hath all the other its concomitants and attendants Plato saith he that knoweth himselfe best esteemeth himselfe least and husbandmen better value those eares of graine which bow downe their heads from the stalke and waxe crooked then those that erect themselves and stand upright because they presume to finde more corne in the first than in the last Pride saith Saint Augastine is the mother of Envy and he that knoweth how to suppresse the mother may easily finde the way to bridle the daughter Lewis the eleventh King of France was woont to say That whensoever Pride sate in the saddle mischiefe and shame rid upon the cropper One compareth it to a ship without a pilot still tost up and downe upon the Seas by the winds and tempests another to a vapour which striveth to ascend high and then vanisheth into smoake first and after returnes to nothing In briefe Pride eateth gold and drinketh blood and climeth so high by other mens heads that in the end it breaketh its owne neck I cannot stand to divide it into severall branches or heads but proceed directly on to Historie Let all such prided in their owne selfe-conceited knowledge and wisedome be attentive to a story extracted from a learned and grave Spanish Chronologer by him to this purpose related Alphonsus King of Spaine being a very wise learned and discreet Prince was woont to devise many darke and difficult problems proposing them to his Lords and Peeres to shew his owne excellent wisdome and to taske their ignorance who had spent their time in more loose and idle studies amongst others there was a Knight in the Court called Don Pedro one who was very confident in his owne wisedome and would undertake to make solution of what difficulty soever the King at any time propounded of which hee so insolently boasted that comming to the Kings eare he was much incensed thereat and to let him know what distance his weaknesse had from essentiall wisedome he caused him to be sent for and when he according to his summons made appearance before him the King at the first to humour his selfe-conceit began much to applaud his witty and ready answers which not a little pleased him but at the length concluded somewhat more sharply telling him that he would propose three Problems of the interpretations of which if hee could not within one and twenty dayes give him a true and plenall account both his life and goods were immediately forfeit to the crowne and this sentence notwithstanding any meanes or mediation no way to be altered The three Questions were these which he delivered unto him in writing The first What hath mans labour most increast Yet of it selfe desires it least The second What hath to man most honour gain'd And yet with least lust is maintain'd The third What thing is it men soonest rue Yet they with greatest charge pursue These he no sooner received but the King with a contracted brow departed and so left him by which he might easily conjecture in what a dangerous streight he was now environ'd and returning very sad home and having long ruminated upon these riddles but wanting an Oedipus to unfold them he grew into a deepe melancholly insomuch that he abstained both from meat and sleepe which observed by his daughter Petronella a faire and beautifull virgin of some sixteene yeares of age or thereabout she so farre insinuated into her fathers discontents and to know the cause thereof that at length upon her great importunity he unfolded the whole matter unto her who after some pawse began greatly to comfort him and told him she would interpose her selfe betwixt him and all danger who though he had little hope to be relieved by her yet out of his indulgence towards her not willing to crosse her especially in so desperate a case he told her hee would be swayed according to her direction which was that upon the day prefixed she might goe with him to appeare before the King and that to her he would commit the solution of these questions which was agreed upon betwixt them Imagine the day come and the King attended by his Lords and Peeres seated in his Throne to expect Don Pedroes answer who presenting himselfe before his Majestie attended with his daughter who was very sumptuously attyred besought his Majestie that whilest he himselfe was silent he would vouchsafe to heare what his daughter could say concerning these problems before propounded The King much taken on the sudden with her beauty and modest behaviour and in a great expectation whether shee were able to deliver her selfe in language answerable to the former gave her free liberty of speech when bowing her face to the earth and after setling her selfe upon her knees she began as followeth Wonder you may my Royall Leige that so grave and experienc't a Knight as my father here present should lay all his fortunes both of life and livelyhood upon so weake and infirme an apprehension which cannot be better expected from my tender yeares and immature knowledge yet since his confidence is so farre built on me and your high Majestie so gracious to accept of me I make
therefore much lesse exceeded this Arch yillain I say to all his other wicked acts added also these of Adultery and Incest he was infamous for his many stuprations with a noble virgin of Rome he raped also one of the Vestal◠or priests of Vesta and further to enjoy the embraces of Aurelia Arestilla he took away her son by poyson because being grown to maturity and yeares of discretion he opposed his mothers second nuptials which was in those dayes held to be immodesty amongst the noblest matrons of Rome and thus Salustius and Valerius report of him Calius cap. 30. lib. 8. reports that Bagoas the Eunuch was much indeated to Alexander the great for no other cause but that there was some brutish and unnaturall congresse betwixt them therefore when Orsines a noble Persian came to see Alexander and presented to him and to them of his choice and intimate friends many great and rich gifts but gave to Bagoas not so much as the least honour or respect being asked the reason thereof he made answer I owe unto Alexander and his friends all the duty and reverence that can be expectect from a true loyall and faithfull heart but to a whore or strumpet such as Bagoas is to him I acknowledge not so much as the least notice to be taken that such a wretched fellow lives Of the lusts and intemperances of Augustus Iulius Tiberius Heliogabalus Caligula Commodus Domitian Proculus and others I have sufficiently spoken before which shewed as the Roman Emperours exceeded in state power and majesty so most of them maculated and poluted their high and sacred calling with the most base effeminacies and sordidst luxuries that the heart could conceive or the fancy of man apprehend Neither have they alone been guilty of these notorious crimes and vices but all Nations have been tainted with the like impurities which hath been the depopulation of famous Cities the ruines of Kingdomes the removing of Monarchies from one people and language to another when seldom any Conquerour from any Nation brought home their victory without their vices of which there be frequent examples The Babylonians were the first that usurped the name of a Monarchy the Medes and Persians wrested it from them the Grecians wan it from the former and lastly the Romans from the Grecians who as they learned of them Graecari to drinke hard so Mechari to stuprate and adulterate and as they used their Dominion and tyranny governing them by substitutes and praefects and proconsuls and the like so with their power they brought in their prodigalities riots feastings rapes adulteries stuprations scortations fornications even to abhominations above nature too immodest to speak then by consequent too devillish to act But from generalities I come to particulars Gemelius Tribunitius though he were one of the Patricians family and a Nobleman of Rome yet was so degenerate in his condition that of his own house he made a Brothell or Stewes where amongst others were vitiated Mutia and Fulvia two illustrious women and of especiall remarke in the City with a noble youth called Saturninus who was polluted and defiled against nature but as some report of the master of the family his house was after accidentally set on fire and he himselfe added part of the fewell to the flame And in this kinde of punishment lust may be said and not altogether unproperly to be quenched with fire Calius reports of Dionysius junior that comming into the City of Locris where he had the entertainment belonging to a Prince of his estate and quality but the Town abounding with fair and beautifull virgins he could not bridle his exorbitant appetite but some he courted with fair words others bribed with rich gifts and such as he could win to his insatiate desires by neither he committed violence upon their persons insomuch that divers of the noblest maidens were by him vitiated and corrupted which they not having patience to endure made an insurrection against him and having first dispatched his Guard to whom he most trusted they seised upon his person and put him so great maceration and torment for binding him to a stake they thrust sharpe needles betwixt the nailes and flesh of his toes and fingers and when he had endured as well the taunts of their tongues as the exquisite tortures of their engines they put him to death and after having dried his bones pouned them to dust in a morter and such was the reward of his brutish and beastly luxury to whom I will adde Lusius the nephew to Marius by the sisters side who for offering a preposterous carriage of lust to Treboninus a young man of an excellent aspect and feature and withall of a civill and modest carriage by profession a Souldier was slain by him in his tent notwithstanding the greatnesse of his alliance and kinred of which he prefumed so far that even the most abhominable evils by them countenanced might be held lawfull And by the like encouragement namely the impurity of the times Sotodes the obscene Iambicke writer composed his verses in that strain as savouring nothing but Pathicke and Cinedicke venery abhorred by all modest and chaste eares and eyes insomuch that of them grew a proverbe If any mans workes tasted of ribaldry or obscenity it was called Sotadicum poëma and of him Politianus speakes in his Natricia The Corinthians were extremely taxed with this incontinence for it is said of them that they prostituted their wives and daughters for gain and hence grew a proverbe Non cuivis homini contingit adire Corinthum It is not for every man to go to Corinth they pay so dear for their pleasure The Babylonians Tyrrhenians and Massagelans were also greatly contaminated with this vice abusing their bodies in that monstrous sort that they were said rather to live like beasts than men It is a sin which compelleth men neither to have care of their own good names nor of their posterity which shall come after them and therefore Draco the famous Law-giver writ so bitterly against this concupiscence that he is said rather than to have drawn them in inke to have inscribed them in blood and no wonder if he were so austere and supercilious against it when it inforceth us to covet above our power to act beyond our strength and to die before our time One defineth it thus an enemy to the purse a foe to the person a canker to the minde a corrasive to the conscience a weakner of the wit a besotter of the sense and a mortall enemy to the whole body it sweetneth with pleasure to the path of perdition and is the loadstone leading and guiding to ruth and ruine so far Pliny Demonax termes it a pleasure bought with pain a delight hatched with unquiet a contentment accompanied with fear and a sin finished with sorrow by continuance it growes to impudence and shame and infamy continually waites at the heeles thereof For further instance one Hostius a Prince who lived in the time
