libri secundi or a Princes direction .2 Book 1 YYour kingly office doth consist and stand In two maine points expected at your hand First for your people wholesome lawes to frame Striuing with iustice t' execute the same And secondly your commons hartes to winne By sanctitie of life to leaue their sinne 2 That wholesome lawes for wealth of publique weale May stand and executed right preuaile Twixt lawfull kinges that good and vertuous be And tyrants which vsurpe with crueltie Put difference so shall you soone discerne Such duties as your regall throne concerne 3 The king acknowledgeth himselfe ordeyned Of god that subiectes weale may be sustayned His scepter as Gods scepter he doth swaye Thereof to giue account at iudgment day The tyrant liues at ease all voide of toile His subiectes liues and goods he counts his spoyle 4 If regall tytles praise and glorious fame If honours high you do desire by name Noe paines at all refuse all toiles endure Your peoples good and weale still to procure As parents loue their children deare by kind So let your subiectes true your fauour find 5 If that with wisdome you shall empire guide Not yelding much to each Ill humord sid Your subiectes that reioyce to see your life Shall waile your death with sighes and mournings rife And as their ioy by your weale was procured So griefs encrease to Tyrants much inured 6 If that to tyrannize you shall delight Your hatefull life your subiectes shall excite To worke your bane and wofull ouerthrowe Few shall lament but laugh to see your woe And that which ouerlate you shall lament Eternall paynes shall sure your soule torment 7 In multitude of lawes doe not excell Make fewe but good and execute them well When iustice to performe you do assay Noe vprores sturres nor broyles let you dismay For iustice doth by kind so farre surmount That vylest men of her do make account 8 Let iustice so with mercy mixed be That neither do exceede their iust degre If you perhappes shall be too much seuere In steed of loue shall hatred then appeare But if your selfe too meeke and kind you showe Contempte with heapes of mischieffes ouerflowe 9 Some crimes in kind so great and heynous are That cōscience such permittes you not to spare As witchcraft wilfull murder and incest False coyning Sodomy that hellish guest With poysoning vyle these faults of great disgrace Let not escape but weede them out in space 10 Hereto an other crime as hainous sure Like paines of death deseruing to endure I add when persons vile vnreuerently In wryting or by word your progenie Your parents high and Princes of great name By slaunders falsely fained doe defame 11 The rage of such as doe oppresse the poore Beate downe with force restraine them more more Attend to heare and try with princely care The sutes of such as still oppressed are Wronges to redresse oppressions to restraine True honours bringes conioynd with surest gaine 12 When you are set as iudge on regall throne That place take not for yours but gods alone Let iudgement sway awry to neither hand But iudge a right when truth is throughly scand Be not to poore or rich found ouer kind For iustice must be frendlesse eke and blynd 13 Euen as the good Physician first will knowe Before his patientes cure he vndergoe What peccant humors in the body are So will a prudent king retayne this care To learne his subiectes faultes by natures frame And then by Iustice duly purge the same 14 The churches three diseases naturall Which still haue beene her ruine and downfall Since first the church on earth here did abide Are auarice ambition eke and prid And now the same by Gods decree and doome Haue ouerthrowne the Poopish Church of Rome 15 Take heede of puritans the churches woe And very pestes of common wealthes also Whom giftes nor oathes nor promises can bind A railing broode of high aspiring mind Who make their fancies fonde the very square Of conscience pure of such I say beware 16 Such men as perfect learning haue attaind Which godly are with vitious life vnstaind Accept approue and gladly entertaine And such aduaunce to seates of greatest gaine On such bestowe good store of maintinance To Bishoprickes and liuings them aduance 17 Let noe man find more fauour at your hand Then pastors pure that on their watches stand Dislike none more I say none more disdaine Then puritans which are both proude and vaine Your fayrest stile on earth take this to be To holie church a noursing father free 18 See that eche church and seuerall congregation In compasse of your royall domination His painfull pastor haue see schooles maintain'd Noe priuiledge of theirs see you restraind See ministers noe doctrine false doe preach But such as God in holy writ doth teach 19 Let preachers of the word that painfull be Prouision haue of store sufficiently For schooles of learning soe thou must prouide That in their mainteynance noe want be spied Set downe for them a comely gouernement The meeke aduaunce let pride haue punishment 20 Let ministers their betters reuerence And let their flockes performe obedience To them againe that so whilst peace doth raigne And learning shine and godlynesse remaine Your chiefest ioy may be on earthly moulde These passing comforts clearely to behold 21 Like as the puritans both proud and vaine You must represse so suffer not to raigne Proud papall Bishoppes which of Rome doe smell And as you them aduance deseruing well So chayne them in with bounds when once they stray That pure this state may stand with perfect stay 22 Your Scottish nobles for the greater parte Threefold diseases foster in their heart The weaker sort with wronges to pinch and straine And seruants quarrells wrongfull to maintaine And he with all his kinne to keepe a feide With others and their kinne so mischefes breed 23 To keepe your lawes your nobles force as well As subiectes meane by feare you doe compell If discontent they chaunce themselues to shew Feare
