before the Conquest there was a mutual exchange of these contracts betweene the ancient famous Saxons and our pious Kings Princes ancestors haue bin famous matches for the good benefit of both Kingdomes for both the Lines of Egbert the Saxon K. of England Alphin K. of Scotland met in the mariage of Malchol the 3 and Margaret sister of Edgar Ehelin right heire to the Crowne of England who died an 1093. Which Malchol was the son of Duncan who vanquisht Mackboth in fight yet afterwards himselfe was slaine in anno 1092 whose Father Dunken the 1. king of Scotland heire of Beatrix who succeeded Malchol was slaine by Makbeth in anno 1046. Beatrix eldest daughter and co-heire of king Malchol the 2 was maried to Abineth Crinathany of the West Ilands of Scotland Malchol the second king of Scotland sonne of Kenneth the 3 subdued king Trim was slaine in anno 1034. Kenneth the third king of Scotland succeeded king Culen became a tyrant and was murthered 994. Malchol the first sonne of king Donald was the successour of Constantine the 3 and was murthered in the yeare 958. Donald the sixt king of Scotland next after king Gregory was his predecessour who died anno 904. Constantine the second king of Scotland after the death of Donald his Vnckle was slaine in anno 874. Keneth the second king of Scotland called the great succeeded his Father king Alphen and died in anno 894. Alphin sonne of K. Achai who made the first league w th France after the death of king Dongallies hee likewise recouered the kingdome of Scotland anno 830 and was afterwards slaine in anno 834. This is the royall descent of our renowned Prince by the Fathers side being sprung by the Fathers and Grandfathers side from so many glorious stemmes of the kings of Scotland By the Grandmother from the renowned race of the Kings of England to whom Scotland hath beene often lincked by the performance of Hymens rites and the celebration of happie nuptials but now it hath found by the meanes of our gracious Soueraigne a more blessed and assured vnion Whose ancestours the true obiects of admiration haue euer beene famous for vertuous actions for what haue they beene defectiue in which sauoured of perfection what worth haue they wanted that might make them esteemed to bee the most noble worthies that euer liued For he hath beeneallyed to so many mighty Kings of England and Scotland and in fine doth heire rightfully the vertues and renownes of both Kings and kingdomes for who can be silent but dumbe men in his praises or can any be tongue-tide whose heart is lincked to him by the bond of obedience and can any one which is a true subiect but make such a Soueraigne the subiect of his praises and obiect of his duty But to the intent that all may know the highnesse of this Princes birth as well as the goodnesse of his minde examine but the greatnesse of his ancestours and allyes of the mothers side whose remembrance to vs is like Myrrhe vnto the body which it embalmeth incorruptible but wonderous bitter for how can it bee better then bitter vnto vs seeing it reduceth into our reminiscence her Name which was so delightfull seeing that putting vs in minde of her perfections the which making vs see how necessary she was for vs manifests vnto vs how miserable we are for her Oh no it is impossible for vs to remember her and to forget her vertues or to retaine the losse of them in our minds and to forget sorrow but to haue weeping eies and bleeding hearts considering that the perpetual welfare of England required that she had bin immortall frō whose death our griefe hath birth and from whose tombe floweth our sorrow But why should I thus produce this mournful dish at this mariage feast vnlesse it should be like sowre sawces tobeget vs better stomackes to our sweeter dainties and to make the beautie of our solace more amorous and excellent by the proposing of the palenesse of our sorrow So doth a faire stately Steede seeme most to bee esteemed being amongst a number of ill-fauoured Iades So doth it serue as well as a painting for a faire Lady to haue a foule Chamber-maid so doth a passionate speech delight in a pleasant Comedie and a sorrowfull passage thrust in amongst a company of merrie scenes And no doubt this serues like the face of a blacke-Moore to his teeth makes them seeme more white and comely This sorrow for the losse of our Queene Anne makes our ioy for the enioying of this Princesse the greater who is like her for perfections as She seemeth most fortunate in being the wife of such a Prince descended from such a mother who although dead yet liue in Her as being the true Mirrour of her most gracious qualities He also most happie in Her in finding a kinde of a mother in a wife so like Her who may serue Him for his mothers picture all times to looke on with a respectiue louing ioyfull remembrance to see his mother liuing in Her For surely her beautie and vertue cannot die so long as this famous Princesse shall liue And thus like Isaak with Rebecca Hee shall bee comforted after the death of his mother who for the goodnesse and the greatnesse of her bloud was almost vnparalleld For how many royall Kings which weilded their regall Scepters with policie power and pietie is Shee descended from How neerely allied was She to multitudes of potent Princes in so much as walls of friendship were erected by her meanes round about these Kingdomes as the King of Denmarke who for his place and person is both wealthie and worthie and able both for men and money to raise a friend or ruine an enemie but howsoeuer to defend an Allie who was the naturall and most affectionate brother of our most royall Queene who by this most happie Contract is vnited to France as we to Him who will be alwayes in readinesse to doe any office of friendship and fraternitie vnto it What should I speake of the Ancestors of our Queene as Fredericke the second King of Denmarke Norway Goths and Vandalls sonne to Christian the third who died in that menacing memorable yeere 1588. and the 32. of the reigne of Queene Elizabeth of neuer-dying fame and memorie who maried Sophia not vnworthily so called in respect her disposition did answer her denomination for indeed Shee was all wisdome as her name importeth Queene of Denmarke sole heire to Vlrick Duke of Meckleburg in anno 1572. from whose blessed loynes and fruitfull as from a fertile Soyle hath flowed such a noble Progenie as seemed to promise to people the world with Princes as that Princely royall religious pious prudent Queen Anne the mostrespected chaste meeke mercifull Maiestique Wife of the Sacred Maiestie of our most mightie Monarch Iames the first and the most happie Mother of our most promising Prince Charles the Felicitie of his Father and the Pledge of our

his lusts with the bridle of wisedome others if they be distasted in the strength of their youth haue such heat of bloud and doe boyle in anger that they seeme to haue enough fury to furnish all the furies in hell and yet notwithstanding themselues still haue heaped measure throwing themselues vpon each apparent danger without consideratiō or feare doing any iniury without conscience and religion but wisely foresees a danger and seekes to preuent it and is so valiant that Hee dares not fight but vpon iust occasion This is the royall Brother of so vertuous a Sister this is that mighty Monarch with whom England shakes not only the hands of friendship but fraternity And who is it but the most Illustrious Princesse the Lady Henrette Maria which puts the hands together It is She whose twinne was happinesse and whose birth brought in felicity to all this part nay to all the world especially to France and England to France for God no doubt foresaw that he had sufficiently stored it with Sonnes issued from that fountaine of goodnesse Henrie the fourth whereby that blessed Countrey might seeme sufficiently strengthned and fortified in it selfe God therefore in due time sent it a daughter so excelling and transcending in vertue beauty to make it strong without it selfe and to make walls of friendship about it to England for it was not obscured from the All and al wayes All-seeing eye of God before the beginning of the world much more Her being what need England should haue to helpe her Allies and Neighbours though not her selfe and therefore ordained two such Potentates as K. Lewis of France Prince Charles of England and likewise sent this worthy Princesse to ioyne these two together and to make them Brothers who are so like one another in vertuous conditions who are both magnanimous both wife both valiant and no doubt both of them shall be fortunate they will draw their swords in Iustice handle them with such courage as each blow shall seeme to be the postilion of death vnto their enemie so that they shall satisfie their thirstie blades with the bloud of Tyrants and die their swords with the death of the enemies to truth and equitie And who is the foundation vpon whom these hopes are erected but vpon this gracious Princesse who hath not onely vertue in Herselfe highnesse of birth and good education in and from her Ancestours greatnesse of estate but also hath beautie to moue loue wit to apprehend to loue and excellent bodie to content it and a gratefull minde to reward it For had She all these rare endowments and aptitudes of mariage and yet had no inclination to wedlocke her rare gifts would be like precious iewels which lose their luster for want of wearing like fragrant flowers in a most delightfull garden which are neuer gathered but sinde their tombe where they had their birth like a root buried vp in the ground which neuer brancheth if She were resolued not to make an exchange change of virginall for coniugall chastitie She should doe the world too much iniurie in cloystering vp Christendomes ioyes whose hopes are chiefly in Her with Herselfe Moreouer her vertues would returne to the King of Heauen of whom they all hold in capite for want of heires and could onely finde life after her death in the mouth of Fame her nobilitie of bloud would die in Herselfe for want of posteritie to whom it might still be deriued Shee would lose the worth of her education in not teaching that to others which She hath beene taught Herselfe all that Shee could well dispose of would be her Dowrie to the which the poore would be rightfull heires and as for her beautie it would perish without blessing any but a multitude of wounded admiring spectators And howsoeuer indeed it may bee Death could not take it away with her soule yet the graue would consume it with her bodie She therefore as Shee was the childe of a mother so desireth to be the mother of a childe Moreouer let no man bee guiltie of such a foolish suspition once to doubt or imagine that our Princes wisdome should be ouercome by a womans weaknesse that the eye of his reason and religion should bee put out with the eye of affection Or farre be it to commit such blasphemie against his Highnesse either so much to diminish his constancie in the truth or derogate from the soundnesse of his knowledge and iudgement that euer Hee should bee brought to forsake that in the defense of which He would deeme the losse of his life and bloud precious Will Hee relinquish that which is built vpon the ground of Gods word which is disagreeing in nothing agreeing in euerie thing with the holy Scriptures to be the Follower of mens traditions and an Obseruer and Seruer of the foolish inuentions of humane fancie to reuerence that termed Holines which is but true Insanctitie to relye vpon any thing but the merits of Christ to trust to his owne workes or deeme them meritorious and so to make Himselfe his owne Sauiour and by consequence the comming of Christ of no necessitie to forsake that faith which was founded by Christ and his Apostles vpheld and followed by the Fathers whose antiquitie is such that it was preached by our Heuenly Father to our earthly parent in Paradise by the which all former and future ages must bee saued to follow that which is but an vpstart Irreligion which was set vp by Couetousnesse and Ambition which is to bring gold to the Popes coffers not God to the peoples consciences which is only to hide the light of the Gospell vnder the bushell of an vnknowne tongue to starue the soules of poore people which makes Ignorance the mother of Deuotion which is Author of destruction which maketh people thinke it nothing to sinne because they thinke themselues sure of a pardon which maketh adultery Sodomie fornication more honourable than marriage allowable which maketh Moses inferiour to Aaron which bringeth the neckes of Princes and Kings vnder the foot and follies of Antichrist which is the Nurse of rebellion in Subiects against their Soueraigne and maketh him a God which is but a deuill incarnate who Lucifer-like prefumeth to sit in the seat of God Or what heart can be such a detractor from Her vertue to thinke that this Phoenix of her age this noble Princesse whose brest is the Cottage of humility and the quiet harbour of lowly thoughts will offer to seeke to guide Him by whom She is to be directed to be the sterne when She is but the vessell of which Hee is the Pilot to be the Sun when she is but the Moone which must borrow light frō his knowledge can She which esteemes him to be all worth thinke that the greatest ornament in him is vnworthy No surely She knowes that She may be the crowne of the head but She will not presume to be the head of the body She desires not to metamorphise water
