that the king contriued her death Where if hee had pleased to marry elsewhere for that is made the cause hee might and would haue vsed a more safe meanes by a diuorce did not the French king Lewes the 12. because his wife was barren and crooked backt sue a diuorce and obtained it from Pope Alexander the sixt and afterward by his dispensation married with Anne Dutchesse of Brittaine the widdow of his predecessor Charles the 8 Might not King Richard haue done the like for he had the like cause his wife being barren whereof hee had often complained to Rotheram then Archbishop of Yorke And the Popes of those times were not so nice conscienced to deny Princes such requests but were easily wonne thereunto either by fauour or rewards therefore that he contriued her death was a slanderous false and absurd accusation but her time was come which Mortalitie might sorrow but sorrow might not preuent Death beeing deafe to all humane lamentations After her death being desirous to reconcile himselfe to all such as held themselues offended as at his Coronation hee had done with Fogg a meane Attourny who had highly offended him he laboured to win the one sort with benefits and rewards and freely pardoned the others misbehauiors and offences hee had no cause to feare Fogg therefore feare was not the cause No it was a worthy a kingly humility that would rather abate of his greatnesse then to haue it stained with the bloud of so meane a vassaile for a crime committed against himselfe yet was hee guilty of counterfeiting his Royall hand and Signet and of a most vntrue and infamous libell therefore how falsely do our Croniclers seeke to cleare Collingborne who was as may appeare by his inditement executed for treason against the state not for that ryming foolish ridiculous libell for neither they nor any other can euer prooue that euer he reuenged any iniury whatsoeuer committed particularly against himselfe For the good and safety of his kingdome and people he was zealous hee was feruent for onely for their peace for their quiet hee was content to suffer his neerest kinsmen his dearest friends to be executed so now with the mother Queene he laboured reconciliation he often solicited it at the last he effected it This rare this excellent worke of Christianity this true cognisance of a Religious Queene our Chroniclers defame and impute it to her as an horrible crime such is the obstinate errour of mankinde that when hatred is by God absolutely prohibited they dare say and maintaine the contrary but were not they thus corrupt partiall gouerned wholly by affection not truth their Histories would be the wisest guides making men that are young in yeeres olde in iudgement making experience most precious most cheape For Knowledge Iudgement and Experience are dearely purchased when wee must wander into infinite errours ere we can be perfect in our way nay they were most deare were they had with no other expence but growing old before we enioy them waxing rotten ere they grow ripe The end and scope of this reconciliation was to vnite himselfe in marriage with his Neece a contract no doubt inconuenient and prohibited the Vulgar but amongst States-men it is like to produce infinite good both to Prince and people It is an incōuenience most conuenient nothing strange because vsuall and accustomed amongst Princes tolerated yea allowed by their receiued Oracle of diuinity the Pope who considering the cause ordinarily dispenseth with the Consanguinity It is granted that this desire of marriage was mentioned by this King in respect of the publike peace to make satisfaction to the Mother in exalting the daughter for the deiecting of the Sonnes and to auoid the effusion of much of the peoples bloud which was likely to be spilt if his Neece should marry elsewhere as if sayour Chroniclers the first could not be established the latter auoided without this Platforme of Policie No had not Gods secret working bin beyond mans wisest apprehension it could not for well he knew the head-strong obstinacy of this people could hardly be kept in awe by a man therfore impossible to be restrained by childrē this made him dispossesse them of their Kingdom peraduenture of their liues for had they been suffered to liue they would euer haue bin the fire-brands of new seditions and therfore he thought it more conuenient they should be quenched with their owne blouds then with the blouds of infinit numbers of the people yet to make satisfaction for this wrong if it were a wrong to depriue the disturbers of the common good hee was contented and much laboured to marry their Sister his Neece but he is therefore adiudged ill why because his accusers would be reputed good though without doubt he was a good Prince and they all or the most part of all euill phantasticke and seditious people And euen at this day though the fortunate succesfull gouernment of our later Princes hath somwhat altered their natures bettered their conditions yet it were a lesse difficult quest to finde one good man then many But it pleased not the diuine Ordainer of marriage to permit that coniunction but rather to set a Period at once to his kingdome and life About the time of the plotting of this mariage the iudiciall Buckingham not thinking himselfe sufficiently regarded grew discontent and got the Princes fauour to retire himself into the Country where no doubt his fantastick melancholly would soone haue vanished being a man more happy in the inheritance of his Father then in the legacie of Nature discretion or iudgement had not the Prisoner corrupted the Iaylour namely Moreton Bishop of Ely committed by King Richard to his custodie who finding this Duke discontented more desirous to inflame his griefes then to redresse them with his fiery wit so wrought vpon the Dukes combustible matter that suddenly he brought him to kindle a fire of rebellion and to take vp armes against his Soueraigne this K. Richard soone hearing he prosecuted him as an enemy and so laboured what by his owne wisedome what by his especials that within a while he tooke his head from his body for being no better able to aduise him in his proceedings was it a fault to punish periury in him who had sworne true allegeance then the executing of law is a sin if so let transgressors be accounted innocent and Magistrates and Iudges guilty of transgression And had this been the action of some other Prince it had been good iust necessary but being his it is censured the contrary so that sinne is not sinne nor vertue accounted vertue by their owne natures or effects but are made vertues or vices by the loue or hate that is borne to the committer such is our humane vnderstanding as they rather confound all things then by distinguishing them to make choice of the worthiest for let a Noble-man be popular if he haue an ill face it is termed warlike
