as Tubero the Pretors Pye did which came strangely to his hand and of which the Southsayers foretolde that much good would come with her were shee accepted if otherwise much ill to the Pretor her hee pulled in peeces but not without his owne mischiefe In Phrigia and Silenus was a great earthquake which consumed many houses and mortalles The Oracle saide some rich thing must bee throwne into it Death of a Kinges Sonne onely stopped the gaping of the earth in those places Here is no earth-quake but heauens shine here is life and renowne to our Kings Sonne our worthy Prince ours and many more kingdoms hope The Oracle sayes not dye sonne but liue all friendly together Tully in the dreame of Scipio saith that all they who haue saued their Countrey haue helped their Countrey haue encreased their countrey haue in heauen a place appointed them where euerlastingly they shall ioy That was the cause why the Ambassadors of the Carthagenians and the Sirenenses were contented to make the condition of being buried quicke where they challengd their bounds So great was their loue to the inlargement of their Countrey a desire euer prosecuted and neuer but weakely by Darius in Quintus Curtius his time only gaine-said that a kingdome might be too great On the other side remember but how Themistocles dealt with Zerxes for the ouerthrow of al Greece because his countrey had ingratefully respected him And had not Artaxerxes hung vp my Hamon Mardocheus had beene betrayed in his owne Countrey beyond the Kings disposition but that did I beare though it cost me deare As I forgiue so I forget and returne to this If the English haue not generall peace which they shall not till they bee knowne generally strong for yet forreiners may bee suspected but to prye into our state to breake or holde resoluing neither but by the first instructions they will ere long grow so vnanswerable of Taskes and Subsidies that the Collectors shall finde them as in another common-wealth was seene playing in the streetes a shrewd signe that they be no money keepers But if they once see our fortune sitting they will then thinke she will so finde the benefit of her ease as shee will euer be knowne where to bee found Now is our ground ready what seede wee sow we shall reape This cause talkes nothing of inconuenience yet the man though good though iust though innocent is feared vir bonus iustus innocens timetur pouertie is pretended saith Martiall it is not pouertie to haue nothing Non est paupertas Nestor habere nihil The fault sure is this the poore seekes friendships vnworthy affections quòd colit ingratas pauper amicitias Nay they haue their peculiar riches where they are in as large a maner as we make account of ours here But this is to tennice freely but not to denise kindly Many I see knowe how to counsell few finde I who can tell how to make the Consull The King should haue long hands as farre reaching as Kent and Kentile and would you haue the King feed with one gloue on another off It would be said of him Totus in toto per totum totus omnis Esse omnis dū vis incipis esse tuus that he then beginneth to be his owne when he will be all and in all and by all and all euery where And though some pretend fables how the Wolfe by at the first getting an house to breede in at the last hauing many litters helde it by strength against the owner Yet what can these things moue in ordered cōmon wealthes where no more interest is attained then the lawes admit right to Tully in his pleading for Roscius shewes how many wayes the lawes punish those whose demaundes are greater then the lawes doe allow The like doth Crassus in Tully Our lawes will maintaine vs in our owne well enough though our conditions I hope will not make them pay so deare as the English did when they went to fetch the King and Queene from Scotland This may be giuen to the King for them indeede to them for vs the rest they shall enioy as the lawe will for what they buy by the law they may call their owne Demurre then no longer my great and deare friendes vpon this argument but returne this aunsweare that Neptune did by the Raine-bowe Terram esse communem Which though he durst not defend against Iupiter yet you haue Iupiter on your side against whome to contend were madnesse as with an equall doubtfull with an inferiour base Seneca sayth of power that if it inuite to any thing nay if it intreate ought it compelles it Easie it is not to write against him in his gouernment who can score a man out of his gouernment Non facile est in eum scribere qui potest proscribere Fauorinus the Philosopher admitteth Hadrian the better iudgement because he commaunded thirtie Legions The matter then being euen let vs not contend vnequally for had not nature seated this kingdom within you you might well haue helde it without you Well had Scipio Emilian discharged this Censorship had the Quirites giuen him a fellow Pretoorr not giuē him one Think not vpō what Cato saith that it is not to be marueiled at if what a man thinkes an excellent good he be loath to share with another But let Plutarch teach you to gaine authoritie and power with expedition so neither smoake shall make the fire vnpleasant in the kindling nor enuie lay snares to impeach glorie by in the framing If longer you stay vpon further deliberation this businesse hauing beene determined by the Comittee in heauen Scipio Emilian must nedes tell the Senate that neither of the Consules is fit for the seruice of the Common-Wealth For Seruius Sulpitius Galba was poore and had nothing and Valerius could neuer thinke he had enough Yet since the men on both sides are seruiceable make their conditions as agreeing amongst themselues so fit for the Common-Wealth let the one inioy more the other couet lesse so shall both encrease apace and Rome be well serued If any obiect their affections bee vnlike ours that comes not out of nature but custome As the Ayre is tempered sayeth Tully in his Diuination so are the children spirited their wittes formed their maners their minds their bodies and the actions of their life Looke in the English and Scotchmens faces see whether Caucasus haue begot them vpon hard rockes Our climate is the same our temperatures alike if any thing within our gouernment make vs differ it is but custome They haue not so many Cities as we they followe feeds which we do not yet finde I not but we are prickers as well as they and if it be obserued what store of Ritters we haue got it may be feared that two Cheuallers being not Castor and Pollux may be driuen to one Chiual to ride on besides the saddle But let Herodotus write as much as he will of the kingdom of custome
