VVHereas the Raellyans inhabyting in a certayne desert grounde of the Assyrians exiled for theyr disobedience dissent of not puttinge on the naturall lawes and ciuile ordinaunces of the Scithians were from their originall and natyue countrey quite dryuen out For as the Scythians were a plaine people ignoraunt and altogether vnskylfull of the pompous magnyficent constitucions of other princes so were they wholly directed in the footesteppes of vertue after the documentes of nature they lyued in the most playnest simplicitie of this lyfe they were people that although of small vnderstanding of the eternall gouernaunce yet theyr lyues and good manners were not the worst they had in contempt the deuice of noueltyes As they began with good order so they continued and so they ended Theyr cloathing was of beastes skinnes theyr dyet of the naturall fruites which the earth brought forth by course of kinde Among these Scithians there were som obstinate and vnruly people and such whiche woulde not put on so harde and straite kinde of lyfe were contented rather then to endure the same to become banished men forlorne of theyr owne countrey and to seeke theyr habitation else where There was a certaine wyldernesse called Ramanna which was a waste grounde vnhabited belonging to the Assyrians with the east bordering vpon Aries vpon the south Carmanill vpon the west the Medes vpon the north the Hircans These Raellyans were contented at the first to become tributaries to the Assyrians not onely to inhabite that grounde but also to plant the same with all manner of fruitefull encrease But after good space of tyme the Raellyans growing to great wealth and secure pleasure of all prosperous felycitie were able to traffique prouision of marchandyze to all countreys rounde about them dyd buye and freelye purchase the priuiledge of their countrey and lande of the Assyrians which they the rather compassed to bring to passe for that the Assyrians repined at theyr wallowing in wealth and great happinesse which the Raellyans grewe vnto as also because the Assyrians beganne to extort and with cruell vexation to oppresse them practysed the spaedier to auoyde such inconuenience which might ensue

inuaded his owne countrey with such terrors that those which woulde not obey him were slaine and executed to a most shamefull tyrannous death Some of them were put to fyne some of them put to perpetuall imprisonment some of them bonds●aues and dyd serue in the kinges Garison When in this maner the king had pacified his lande with sworde and fyre and with the cruellest terror that euer was hearde of He then assuring him selfe to be most saufest was most in ieopardie for those whiche were most earnest to make him king vnto those was hée a more sharper enemie then vnto the rest The cause hereof was for that they being so earnest to haue a king not that they fauoured any one man to bee theyr king but for that euery man hoped after the kingdome him selfe the king perceyuing euery mannes greedy desyre gaue but certayne outward thankes vnto them but dyd attribute the successe of his good lucke vnto Ladie Fortune and that holy Image For as the King perceaued howe his people hated him so he dyd not squenche their hatered with lenitie or by any execrable méekenesse but with more greater vengeaunce and crueller tyrannie The people had him in suche horrible disdayne that whereas they hauing not delyuered theyr wrytinges and auncient monumentes of recorde which was betwéene their fathers and the Assyrians when they purchased the lande so they practised with the King of the Hircans that if hée woulde make warres vppon theyr king they woulde not onely assist him but also they woulde delyuer vp into his handes the monumentes and wrytinges of the free purchase of the lande which was betwéene their fathers and the Assyrians The King of the Hircans woulde presently haue had the same wrytinges but they woulde not agrée therevnto before he had ouercome and vanquished theyr king by battayle thorowe the great secreate suite of the Raellyans the King of the Hircans was content to satisfy● theyr desyre and appoynted an hoast of twentie thousande soldiours to inuade the lande of the Raellyans but the people had so condicioned with the King that all those Raellyans which woulde submytte themselues vnto the Hircans and be content to go in battayle against theyr King shoulde be in saufetie both of their lyues landes and goodes So the King of the Hircans hauing landed his great armie of men in the lande of the Raellyans the Raellyans for the most parte made theyr refuge vnto him and submytted them selues and offered not onely theyr bodyes but their landes and goodes and all that euer they had to be at his commaundement Hellepatrus king of the Raellyans séeing his woful misery draw on his people forsaking him his owne housholde seruauntes denying him his estate to bée the most myserablest of all men ānd that speedily his enemies drawing on had no other helpe for him selfe but to flye and to become a straunger in another lande forthwith fled into the lande of the Trebonians where he dwelt for the space of fiue yeares In the meane whyle the lande of the Raellyans was gouerned by the king of the Hircans and as the Raellyans lyued as they lysted them selues to be at free lybertye so they proued within that space to be verie riche and welthie and began to abound againe withall maner of plentifull pleasures The king when he fled tooke Hellidorus his sonne with him and lefte Abdona his wife and other children in the lande of the Raellyans which after the departing of Hellepatrus most miserably the Hircans tormented Abdona the Queene and her children in most terriblye burning them to death This banishment dyd not so muche vexe the king as the death and losse of his wyfe with the resydue of his children whereas naturall affection dyd moue him to sorrowe so the remembraunce of reuenge dyd comfort him on the contrary Nature and reuenge working together practised many wayes yet no better way woulde serue his turne then to open his griefe vnto the king of the Trebonians the king of the Trebonians being at mortall detestation with the king of the Hircans declared vnto the king howe the Elders and commens of his lande had chose him king and confirmed the same with as strong and forceable auchority as might be deuised it was also ratified before a blessed Image in his lande which theyr fathers brought from the lande of Scithia howe with an Oracle from Delphicus Apollo the maner of his Coronation was appointed And that both the Scepter and Crowne of his kingdome were hanged vp in the holye Alsephon before the blessed Image which they durst not for feare of eternall plagues once diminish the same And as he thought the strength of his kingdome dyd consist both in the Scepter and also in the Crowne garlande of thystles After they had made mee theyr king and also royally put mee in anthoritie and also had crowned and soueraigned mee with the aforesayde Crowne and Scepter I afterwardes but demaunding their obedience which was due vnto mee and that they woulde geue mee such ryghtes and possessions vnto my imperiall Crowne as they promysed they not onely denyed mée of the one but they rebelled against mée for the other and practising with the king of the Hircans haue dryuen mee from my kingdome and spoyled mée of my landes and goodes and most greeuouslye haue bereft mee of my wyfe and chyldren for most trayterously haue they put them to death ¶ The supplycation of Hellepatrus vnto the king of the Trebonyans O Noble King that beareth the armes of defence looke vppon my innocencie beholde my pittifull complayn● see the wretchednesse of my griefe nothing doth rewe my harte to such a terrour and grieuous horrour as this wicked murthering of my wyfe and children ❧ The King of the Trebonians aunswered his pittyfull complaynt in this maner Dareth that wicked worme of the Hircans Feede on the firre trees of the Raellyans I Wyll surelye cleare and purge thy lande and restore thée to as muche pleasure as euer thou haddest in thy lyfe before yea and muche more and I am glad that so good occasion is offered mée against that wynding Snake of the Hircans Hellepatrus and Hellidorus his sonne were succoured and very richly mayntained among the Trebonyans And as Hellepatrus dyd geue him selfe to great excessyue drinking among the Trebonyans so the Trebonyans were a very inordinate people in drynking Hellydorus although geuing him selfe to an accustomed order of myldnesse for that he in all his lyfe neuer laughed so he practised him self to the great actiuitie of the Trebonyans for the Trebonyans were verye actiue and nymble people in the feates of Armes most strongly woulde they fight when they were excessiuely ouercome with drynking But the king of the Trebonians and the people practised many pleasant deuises to moue Hellydorus to laughter but such was his myldnes that it coulde neuer be brought to passe Whylst the Raellyans pleasure increased and their estate beganne to be sure againe Hellepatrus and the king of the Trebonyans ceased
