illustre and noble kyng with all hys dominions and Realms in this most parillous tyme of insurrectyon and tumult which these children of Belial dyd so vngodly styrre vp For what wyll ye haue vs to call you Good felowes Maynteners and defenders of the common weal Why I was loth at the first that these tumult insurrectyon makers shuld be called rebels and traitours By lykelyhode ye woulde be soo called Nay nay I was full loth at the fyrst I haue many to bear me record of the same that ye should be called rebelles or traytours because I thoughte those names to be to heynouse for you Agayn I had a good hope that ye would be wonne reclamed by some fayre and gentle meanes For who would haue thoughte so muche stubburnesse in you Farthermore I was afrayd that your rageouse madnes shoulde rather be set on fyre by suche wordes then asswaged It was I say sore agaynst my wyll that so horryble and odyouse names should be giuen vnto you at the fyrst but syth now that ye dyd persyst and some of you doo yet furyously persyst in geuyng the occasyons of suche most deuilysh interpryse being perswaded by noo maner of reason What may we ryghtly call you but rebelles and traytours and most extreame enemyes of the commune weale For all that ye go about is to vndo this noble and florysshyng Realme and moste vnnaturally to betray your owne naturall countrey vnto forenne nations and Princes I say vnto you that all youre mortall enemyes that compasse you round about set them all together Frenchmē Scottes Danes Turkes culd not haue founde or ymagined a more ready waye to destroy Englande then ye Englyshe men dyd For as a Realme be it neuer so small is inuincible yf the subiectes of it beyng knitted in loue do holde together so if they be once deuided agaynste them selues it is vnpossyble but that the same lande countrey Scilurus king of the Scitians must be brought to vtter desolation Whych thyng Scilurus a Kynge of the Scitians did moste liuely set furth by a goodlye exaumple Apophthegme which I woulde it were bothe written and paynted vpon euerye wall that men myghte learne thereby how strong a thing concord and vnytye is This kinge Maruail not that thys kynge had so many sonnes for it was lawfull vnto them to get childrē vpon many women as the histories do testify had .lxxx. sonnes whom a litle afore hys deathe he dyd call altogether biddynge them to bryng euery one of them an arowe Whych thing beyng done he cōmaunded that all the arowes shoulde be fast bounde together and so delyuered the bondell of arowes beyng thus fast boūd to euery one of his sonnes bydding thē to breake the arowes as they were faste bounde together in one bondell Which thynge because it was vnpossyble they refused to doo Then the kyng cōmaunded the arowes to be vnbounde and did geue to euery one of them an arowe too breake whyche they did lightely Then the kyng exhorting his sonnes to vnitye and concord did saye to them after thys maner By concorde small thynges do growe but by discorde great thinges are broughte to naughte If ye agre wythin youre selues and holde together ye shal be inuincible no man shall be able too ouercome you but if ye disagre and fal out emong your selues ye shall be both weake and easye to be ouercomen Shall not this heathē ethnike kinge rise in the day of iudgement condempne you that so vngodly do breake the vnitye peace and
