haue noe eyes in their soules turned her backe to the Princes of this house because they would not depart from the seruice they had vowed to virtue To iudge of the fall of this house by the height thereof wee must reascend to this great king of Hungary to whom in his life time trophyes were erected after his death altars And from thence descend to that young prince who in battell lost himselfe with his crowne left the fields of Varna perpetuallie dishonoured with the infamy of his defeate But betweene these two extreames there are reckoned vp great felicityes among the most remarkable of them this house is renowned for producing Elizabeth a Princesse at this day wayted vpon by Angells in heauen sued vnto by men on earth There are noe perfect beautyes to be found since hee who vndertooke to take the picture of one was inforced to drawe the modell of an hundred different pieces But Elizabeth was faire and in her all the exquisite admirable perfections of her sexe were ordinarie The beauty of the soule consisteth wholly in vertue that of the body absolutely in grace which dependeth not vpon equall proportions of lineaments colours of the face but in a presence which transporteth enforceth the eye to consider it as a visible effect of an inuisible power of the soule Elizabeth was excellent both in the one and other beyond all example but of her selfe to her selfe There was nothing soe diuine as her soule nothing soe goodly as her stature nothing soe royall as her garbe nothing soe beautifull as her face nothing soe amiable as her eyes nothing soe louely as her hart Louely indeed but not with loue which is the frensie of thoughts the plague of soules a follye inuented by vaine witts pursued by idle men but with that loue wherewith Angells are inflamed Saints liue being the fire of the intellectuall worlde as the Sunne is of the celestiall the elementarie of ours But this being knowne that Elizabeth was admirable in the gifts of minde and beauty of body it sufficeth to tell you shee was the daughter of Hungarie that Fraunce which adorned heads with the prime crownes of the earth long time mainteyned that of Hungarie in the house of the Earles of Aniou that from those Bela the Grandfather of Elizabeth is descended Bela the third King of Hungarie maried Agnes sister of Phillip the second called Augustus or Gods-gift who espoused Alice of Hungarie From this mariage issued Emerick Andrew Ambition which violateth lawes of piety to mainteyne those of tiraÌ„nie armed Andrew against Emericke to bereaue him of the crowne which the right of eldership the lawe of the kingdome the last will of his father had sett on his head thinking that though nature had created him second shee had afforded him courage merit enough to goe formost God who defendeth kings who hath a perticular care of their crownes who takes their iust quarrells vpon himselfe breathed the blast of his furie vpon the enterprises of Andrew For on the daie of battaile agreed on by the waie of armes to determine a difference which reason could not resolue Emerick apeared in the head of his armie cloathed with royall ornaments bearing on his browe the crowne of the first christian king of Hungarie with it the diuine character which the finger of God had imprinted on the face of kings as a ray of his diuinity to make them beloued of the good feared of the wicked This Hercules which the Pigmies against whom hee sett forward made appeare much greater caused his armie to march not soe much to fight as to triumph His enemyes nay rather his mutiniers vnable to continue in the agonyes and affrightments of their consciences and hauing their eyes confounded exteriourly abashed at the presence of the lawfull king raysed their pikes vpright which they had bent against him layed downe armes asked pardon of him from whom they would haue taken the crowne They abandoned the fortune of Andrew and submitted to the clemencie of Emerick who hauing vanquished them without force would haue preserued them with sweetnes Hee was not willing to enter into his kingdome otherwise then victorious esteeming the virtue very miserable which is not wayted on by envie caytife the fortune that is without enimyes hee thought not his kingdome happie vnlesse clemencie beganne it imagining that hee who taketh that from the heart of a Prince teareth the altar from the Temple The happy raigne of so good a king worthie to haue bene immortall lasted not aboue eight yeares seaven monethes sixe dayes Ladislaus his sonne succeeded for sixe-monethes onely Andrew who could not gaine it by force of armes arriued thither by order of succession was crowned in the great Churche of Buda He married Gertrude daughter of the Duke of Morauia Carinthia Austria Edwig his Sister was maried to Henry surnamed Long-beard Prince of Silesia Polonia By this his mariage he had fowre children Bela Caloman Andrew Elizabeth The two first came to the Crowne one after another Andrew depriued by order the lawe of birthright from hope of the kingdome wandred vp downe the world to seeke a fortune for himselfe his He rested at Venice matcht in the house of the Moresini had a sonne who more couragious then his father that stood amused in a common wealth where poppies are not suffered to growe one aboue another came into Fraunce did notable seruices for the king those of the house of Croy constituted generall of thir forces Elizabeth the onely Princesse made it appeare in the first yeares of her childhood that she was chosen out by heauen to be one of the fairest flowers which should on earth receiue the plenitude of its graces At three yeares of age she was espoused to Lewis sonne of Herman Lantsgraue of Hesse Thuringia who was said to discend from Charlemayne Promises were made with great ceremonie to honour her who knewe not what it was and who knowing it made no more accompt of it then the winde to breake a rush At fower yeares of age she was led towards her espousalls by the Ambassadours of the king her father spent the yeares of her childhood in the exercise of piety whereby they might make a true estimate of the rest of her future life It is a singular furtherance notable meanes for a princesse well borne to receiue learne the precepts of carriage from the hands of her mother but Elizabeth taken awaie so young into the house of a straunger was depriued of this happinesse Notwithstanding she was there bred sutablie to the greatnesse of the place from whence she came to the excellencie of her wit she then learned that the ignorance whereof proues ill for a Princesse who hath thoughts beyond the distaffe needle of ordinarie women knewe those things wherein many great Princesses of that name became so excellent

that they taught even kings themselues to liue Though she were yong she made her selfe deafe indocible to all discourse but of heaven she could not be drawne out of Churches beginning early to purify her heart from all earthly thoughts as gould is cleansed from drosse of the mine Then did her gouernesse tell her the world was not worthy of her that she was not made for the world that her loue not vnlike the supreame elemeÌ„t suffered not by Vapours nor those infectioÌ„s which corrupt others When she was of riper yeares she framed vnto her selfe a rule of life wholly pious and deuout nor was it by precedent or imitation as there are many who haue noe other touch of vertue and piety then conformity of example but vpon her owne choyce the mere motion of the grace of God Her exercise was entirely religious so soone as she awaked the first thought her soule admitted which swayed throughout the whole day was the remembrance of death then rysing out of bed she represented vnto her selfe the comfort infinite ioy of those who at the sound of the trumpet shall rise againe to glory As many pieces of attire as she putt on so many vertues wished she for the beauty and ornament of her soule When she was cloathed she prostrated her selfe at the feete of a Crucifixe renewing the homage of her heart to the goodnesse of God giuing thankes for his benefitts imploring his mercy for her sinnes his holy spiritt for her direction protesting rather to dy then to loose his fauour the very life of her life As in the morning she meditated on that she was to doe soe in the euening she required an account of her soule of what she had done she often fed it with the blessed Sacrament the bread of Angells the Manna of heauen the restoratiue of life the soueraine remedy against death the admirable proofe of the loue of God towards men Who notwithstanding in stead of yeilding him thankes for so great a benefitt receiued do now dispute whether it be true that he gaue it All the day long she stood vpon her guard against the subtile snares of the world from which she sought to disengage her selfe she auerted her eyes aswell as her thoughts from all illusions keeping her selfe very carefullie from tasting the honey of pleasures vanityes of Court more daungerous then that which bewitcheth men If at any tyme she approached it was but as the fly which buzzeth about feares to rest vpon it least he loose his wings The marriage treated in her childhood was confirmed at such tyme as discretion made her capable of choice or refusall but it was done with so much coldnesse that many thought if she had not imagined the dispose of her body was due to her father shee no whit had feared to disobey him to pursue the holy inspirations which she now intertayned of continuing a virgin Of three conditions of the feminine sexe there is not any one whose contentmeÌ„t hath not anxiety If marriage haue fruitfullnes it hath also corruption If widowhood enioy liberty it likewise suffers the sadnes of solitude If virginity put on integrity it liueth with the griefe of sterility But Elizabeth better loued to liue a virgin then a mother and hauing dedicated all her thoughts to virginity she held it sacriledge to employ them on marriage well remembring that many of her quality had gone out of the pallaces of kings their fathers not being able to preserue this flower among the thornes bryars of worldlie vanityes the nipping frosts of its impietyes Transported then by two so powerfull lawes the commaundement of God authority of her father she gaue consent to this match The Landtsgraue brought with him as many graces as he acknowledged admired in her she likewise afforded him so much affection that neuer were two hearts scorched with more ardent flames It was thought her marriage might cut of something of the first seuerity of her life and that she would begin to relish the pleasures of youth But her heart like a lampe perpetuallie burning before the face of God shined not at all in the darknes of the brightest splendour of the day Her eyes were wearie in behoulding things specious her eares displeased with harmonious her tast with the most delicious but her heart was neuer satiated with the loue of God This her triangle could neuer bee filled but by this triangle She stole the sweetest houres of the night from repose to ly at the foote of the Crosse tast the bitternes thereof in the security of silence Sophia her mother in lawe Agnes her sister in lawe coniured her to forsake her scrupulosity And will you Madame said they perpetuallie vse your selfe so cruelly Will you alwaies preferre thornes before roses Will you be so sharp an enemy to your selfe as to hasten your death at the tyme when you ought to thinke vpon life Since life is so short that if the world be not seasonablie vnderstood wee dy before wee knowe it Her silence answeared for her and her constant perseuerance gaue them occasioÌ„ to iudge what they might hope from such discourse She coÌ„tinued this kinde of life amidst all these impertinences but auoided those deuotions more faigned then holy which seeme to transport into extasy the mindes of those which vse them to please the world to satisfy their owne hipocrisy They are starres neither stable nor fixed in the firmament of true piety rather wandring fires Comets exhalations of the earth which dissolue into the ayre of vanity The Court of this Princesse likewise resembled not those which were at that tyme said to be seas of dissolution and which as the Sea were swolne vp with pride foaming with exorbitance where vertue was perpetuallie in torment Hers was a temple of piety an Academy of honour her example perfumed the most corrupted ayre and breathed into the most wauering affections firme thoughts of virtue with one glaunce of her eye she led the rest along and withdrew them from errour which inticeth heartes to pleasure hath its carreere of Ice in the end a precipice Her ladyes and maides were bred without curiosity vanity or nicenesse Their eyes by a modest disdaine mortifyed euill appetites And because the best borne natures by deprauation become worse then others as the corruption of good things is worst of all she had an infinite care this first integrity might neuer be dissolued For which cause she exhorted them to hold the heart in liberty the body in seruitude and the conscience in repose assuring them of the infinite contentment they should one day haue in seeing their sowles in heauen free from slaunder leauing their bodyes on the earth without infamy She recommended nothing so much vnto them as to stifle wicked thoughts in their birth whilest the bramble is greene it may be eaten but when it becomes bigger it choketh When the spirit is caught in those
