THE FORERVNNER OF REVENGE Vpon the Duke of BVCKINGHAM for the poysoning of the most potent King IAMES of happy memory King of great Britan and the Lord Marquis of Hamilton and others of the nobilitie Discouered by M. GEORGE EGLISHAM one of King IAMES his Physitians for his Majesties person aboue the space of ten yeares FRANCKFORT 1626. TO THE MOST POTENT MONARCH CHARLES KING OF GREAT BRITAN FRANCE AND IRELAND The humble complaint of GEORGE EGLISHAM Doctor of Physicke and lately one of King IAMES his Physitians for his Majesties person aboue the space of tenne yeares SIr no better motiue there is for a safe gouernemēt thē the sincere meditatiō of death equalling Kings to beggers and of the seuere and exact iustice of God requiring of him that the good suffering miserie in this life should receiue ioy in the other and the wicked flourishing securely in this might be punished in the other That which pleaseth lasteth but a momēt which tormēteth is euerlasting Many things we see vnrewarded or vnpunished in this inferior world which in the vniuersall weights of Gods iustice must be counterpoised elsewhere but wilfull and secret murder hath seldome bene observed to escape vndiscouered or vnpunished euen in this life such a particular and notable reuenge perpetually followeth it to the end that they who ar either Atheists Lucianistes or Machiauellists may not trust too much to there owne wits in doing so horrible iniustice Wold to God your Majestie wold well consider what I have often sayd to my Master King Iames The greatest policie is honestie and howsoëuer any man seeme to him selfe wise in compassing his desires by trickes yet in the end he will prooue a foole for falsehood euer deceiveth her owne master at length as the deuill author of all falshood alwayes doth leauing his adhaerents desolate when they haue greatest need of his helpe No falshood without iniustice no iniustice without falshood albeit it were in the person of a king There is no iudge in the world more tied to doo iustice then a King whose coronation tieth him vnto it by solemne oath which if he violat he is salfe and periured It is iustice that maketh Kings iustice that maintaineth Kings and iniustice that bringeth both Kingdomes and Kings to destruction to fall in miserie to die like asses in ditches or more beastly deathes with eternall infamie after death as all histories from time to time doe clearly testifie What need hath mankinde of Kings but for iustice men ar not borne for them but they for men What greater what more Royall occasion in the wold could be offered vnto your Majestie to show your vnpartiall disposition in matter of iustice at the first entree of your raigne then this which I offer my iust complaint against Buckingham by whom your Majestie suffereth your selfe so farre to be led that your best subiects ar in doubt whether he is your King or you his If your Majestie Know and consider how he hath tyrannised ouer his Lord and master King Iames the worldly creator of his fortunes how insolent how ingrat an oppressor what a murtherer and treator he hath proued himselfe towards him how treacherous to his vpholding friend the Marquis of Hamilton and others your Maiestie may think the giuing way to the lawes demanded against him to yeeld a most glorious field for your Majestie to walke in and display the banner of your Royall vertues Your Majestie may perhaps demand what interest haue I therin What haue I to doe therewith that I should stirre all others being quiet Sir the quietnes or stirring of others expecteth onely a beginning from me whom they know to be so much obliged to stirre as that none can be more both in respect of knowledge of passages and in regard of humane obligation and of my independencie from the accused or any one that his powar or credit can reach vnto Many know not what I know therein others ar litle or nothing beholding to the dead others albeit they know as well as I and ar obliged as deeply as I yet dare not complaine so safely as I being out of there reach who ar inseparable from him by his enchantemēts and able to obscure my selfe vntill that the powar of iust reuenge vpon him and his adherents be obtained from God What I know sufficient against him I haue set downe in my petition to the parliament vnto which if your Majestie dismisse him sequestred from your Majestie chiefely in an accusation of treason your Majestie shall doe what is most iust and deliuer your selfe and your Kingedoomes from the captiuitie in which he holdeth them and your Majestie oppressed How easily I may ecclipse my selfe from his powar to do me harme vnlesse he hath legions of infernall spirits at his command to pursue me your Majestie may well know I being vltramarin vnto these dominions where he raigneth and rageth How farre I am obliged to complaine more then others I will only in few words expresse that neither your Majestie nor any man may thinke otherways but that I haue most iust reason not to be silent in wrongs so intolerable The interest of bloud which I haue to any of them of whose death I complaine either by the house of Balgony Lundy or by the house of Siluertonhill albeit it is easy to be made manifest and sufficient to moue me yet is it not the sole motiue of my breach of silence For birth and ancestors and vvhat vve haue not done Scarce call I ours But the interest of receaued courtesies and the heape of infallible tokēs of true affection is more then sufficient to sturre me therto vnlesse I wold proue the most ingrate in the world and senselesse of the greatest iniuries that can be done to my selfe For who hath killed King Iames and the Marquis of Hamilton in that parte of the iniurie which is done to me therein he hath done as much as robbed me of my life and of all my fortunes Friends with such constant and louing impressions of me ar neither to be recouered nor duely valued For his Majestie from the third yeare of my age did practise honourable tokens of singular fauor towards me dayly augmented them in word in writ in deed accomplished them with giftes patents offices recommendations both in priuat and in publicke at home and abroad graced me so farre that I could scarce haue asked him any thing which I could not also obtaine How much honor he hath done to me me there needeth no witnes vnto your Majestie who is sufficient for many No lesse was my Lord Marquis of Hamilton his friendship established by mutuall obligation of most acceptable offices continued by our ancestours these three generations engrauen in the tender mindes and yeares of the Marquis and me in the presēce of our soueran King Iames. For when the Marquis his father with the right hand vpon his head and the left vpon mine did offer vs young in yeares so ioyned to kisse his
