A01064	A briefe discourse, touching the happie vnion of the kingdomes of England, and Scotland Dedicated in priuate to his Maiestie.	Bacon, Francis, 1561-1626.	1603 (1603)	STC 1117; ESTC S104437	7,254	40

yet in another place Saint Paul professeth of himselfe that hee was a Iewe by tribe So as it is manifest that some of his Ancestors were naturallized to him and to his descendents So wee read that it was one of the first despights that was done to Iulius Caesar that whereas hee had obtayned Naturalization for a Cittye in Gaul one of the Cittizens of that Cittye was beaten with roddes by the commaundement of the Consul Marcellus So wee read in Cornelius Tacitus that in the Emperour Claudius time the nation of Gaul that part which was called Comata the wilder part were suters to bee made capable of the Honours of beeing Senators and Officers of Rome His wordes are Cùm de supplendo Senatu agitaretur Primoresque Galliae quae Commata appellatur foedera et Ciuitatem Romanam pridem assecuti ius adipiscendorum in vrbe honorum expeterent multus ea super re variusque rumor et studijs diuersis apud Principem certabatur and in the ende after long debate it was ruled they should be admitted So likewise the authoritie of Nicholas Machiauell seemeth not to bee contemned who inquiring of the causes of the growth of the Romaine Empire dooth giue iudgement there was not one greater then this that the state did so easily compound and incorporate with straungers It is most true that most Estates and Kingdomes haue taken the other course of which this effect hath followed that the addition of further Empire and territorie hath beene rather matter of burden then matter of strength vnto them yea and further it hath kepte aliue the seede and rootes of reuoltes and rebellions for many ages As wee may see in a freshe and notable example of the kingdome of Aragon which though it were vnited to Castile by mariadge and not by conquest and so descended inhereditarie vnion by the space of more then a hundreth years yet because it was continued in a diuided gouernement and not well incorporated and cemented with the other Crownes entred into a Rebellion vpon point of their Fueros or liberties now of very late yeares Now to speake briefely of the seuerall partes of that forme whereby states and kingdomes are perfectly vnited they are besides the soueraignety it selfe foure in number Vnion in Name Vnion in Language Vnion in Lawes and Vnion in Employmentes For Name though it seeme but a superficiall and outward matter yet it carrieth much impression and inchantment The generall and common name of Grecia made the Greekes alwayes apt to vnite though otherwise full of diuisions amongst themselues against other nations who they called Barbarous The He●●●tian name is no small band to knit together their leagues and confederacies the faster The common name of Spaine no doubt hath beene a speciall meane of the better Vnion and conglutination of the seuerall kindomes of Castile Aragon Granada Nauarra Valencia Catalonia and the rest comprehending also now lately Portugall For Language it is not needfull to insist vpon it because both your Maiesties kingdoms are of one language though of seuerall Dialects and the difference so small betweene them as promiseth rather an inriching of one Language then a continuance of two For lawes which are the principall Synewes of gouernment they be of three natures Iura which I will terme Freedomes or abilities Leges and Mores For abilities and Freedoms they were amongst the Romans of foure kindes or rather degrees Ius Connubij Ius Ciuitatis Ius suffragij and Ius Petitionis or Ius honorum Ius Connubij is a thing in these times out of vse For marriage is open betweene all diuersity of Nations Ius Ciuitatis answereth to that we call Denization or Naturalization Ius suffragij answereth to voyce in Parliament or voice in election of such as haue voyce in Parliament Ius petitionis aunswereth to place in Councell and office And the Romanes did many times seuer these freedoms granting Ius connubij sine Ciuitate and Ciuitatem sine suffragio Suffragium sine Iure petitionis which was commonly with them the last For lawes it is a matter of curiosity and inconuenience to seeke eyther to extripate all particular customes or to draw all subiectes to one place or resort of Iudicature and Session It sufficeth there be an vniformity in the Principall and fundamentall Lawes both Ecclesiasticall and ciuill For in this point the rule houldes which was pronounced by an ancient Father touching the diuersity of rites in the church For finding the vesture of the Queene in the Psalme which did prefigure the church was of diuerse colours and finding againe that Christes Coate was without a seame hee concludes well In veste varietas sit scissura non fit For Manners a consent in them is to be sought industriously but not to bee inforced For nothing amongst people breedes so much pertinacie in houlding their customes as suddaine and violent offer to remooue them And as for Employments it is no more but an indifferent hand and execution of that verse Tros Tyriusué mihi nulle discrimine agetur There remaineth onely to remember out of the grounds of Nature the two conditions of perfect mixture whereof the former is Time For the naturall Philosophers say well that compositio is opus homines and Mistio is opus Naturae For it is the dutie of man to make a fitte application of bodies together But the perfect fermentation and incorporation of them must bee left to Nature and Time and vnnaturall hasting thereof dooth disturbe the worke and not dispatche it So wee see after the grift is put into the stock and bound it must bee left to Nature and Time to make that continuum which was at first but contiguum And it is not any continuall pressing or thrusting together that will preuent Natures season but rather hinder it And so in liquors those mixtures which are at the first troubled growe after cleere and setled by the benefit of rest and time The second condition is that the greater drawe the lesse So wee see when two lights doe meete the greater dooth darken and drowne the lesse And when a smaller riuer runs into a greater it leeseth both his name and streame And hereof to conclude we see an excellent example in the Kingdomes of Iuda and Israel The Kingdome of Iuda contained two Tribes the Kingdome of Israel contained ten King Dauid raigned first ouer Iuda for certaine yeeres after the death of Isbosheth the sonne of Saul obtayned likewise the Kingdome of Israel This vnion continued in him and likewise in his sonne Salomon by the space of seuentie yeares at least betweene them both But yet because the seate of the kingdome was kept still in Iuda and so the lesse sought to drawe the greater vppon the first occasion offered the kingdomes brake againe and so continued diuided for euer after Thus hauing in all humblenesse made oblation vnto your Maiestie of these simple fruites of my deuotion and studies I do wish and I do wish it not in the nature of an impossibilitie to my thinking that this happye vnion of your Maiesties two Kingdomes of England and Scotland may bee in as good an houre and vnder the like diuine prouidence as that was betweene the Romaines and the Sabines FINIS
