A07315	A monument of remembrance erected in Albion, in honor of the magnificent departure from Britannie, and honorable receiuing in Germany, namely at Heidelberge, of the two most noble princes Fredericke, first prince of the imperiall bloud, sprung from glorious Charlemaigne, Count Palatine of Rhine, Duke of Bauier, Elector and Arch-sewer of the holy Romane Empire, and Knight of the renowned order of the Garter. & Elizabeth Infanta of Albion, Princess Palatine, and Dutchesse of Bauier, the onely daughter of our most gratious and soueraigne Lord Charles-Iames, and of his most noble and vertuous wife, Queene Anne. Both of them being almost in one and the same degree lineall descent from 25 emperours of the east and west, of Romanes, Greekes, and Germans, and from 30 kings of diuers countries. By Iames Maxvvel.

worke One thing there is which the special affection I do beare to the honour of the name of Iames will not suffer me to smother vp and that is That our most gracious Souerainge King Iames the first of this name in Britanny and likewise the first Christian vniter of the two kingdomes therof and the son heire of a Matchlesse Q. Mary together with his Noble son-in-law P. Fredericke are both of them in the 13. degree of lineall descent from Iames the first of this name surnamed the Fortunate son and heire of a worthy Queene Mary and the vniting King of Aragon and Valence of whom six famous Spanish Chroniclers Rodericus Toletanus Rodericus Sanctius Alphonsus à Carthagena Franciscus Tarapha Lucius Marinius and Damianus à Goes make most honourable mention And from the same vniting King of Aragon Iames the Fortunate who was likewise the Author of two seuerall Orders of Knighthood as Polydorus Zuingerus and others do write Prince Fredericke and Princesse Elizabeth are yet another way lineally descended and that both in one the same degree of the number of fifteene It is likewise worthy of obseruation that whereas there haue beene but only two Emperours of the Palatine Family he●…●…e the one a yonger brother and Duke of Baui●… 〈◊〉 Lodowicke the 5. the other an elder brother 〈◊〉 ●ount Palatine which was Robert surnamed t●… 〈◊〉 ●hat the two Princes lately married are descended equally from them both with their Empresses Margaret and Elizabeth from the first two both in the 12 degree and from the other two He in the 9. She in the 10 degree And my hearty wish is that these two names aforesaid Margaret and Elizabeth may proue as lucky Imperially for Frederickes and Elizabeths Imperiall preferment in Germany as the same names haue heretofore done royally for King Iames their fathers royall preferment in Britanny It is also worth the noting that as there haue beene as yet but only two Emperours of the Palatine family so haue they had a very different fortune in their acceptance towards the Pope for Lodowicke the 5. Duke of Bauier and Emperour as is said before from whom Prince Fredericke is the 12 was highly hated of Benedict the 12 and before him yet more of Iohn the 22 whose name is so numerous that he might haue well said with the vncleane spirit in the Gospell my name is Legion and yet after him of a third pope Clement the 6. The which three popes most like the three Furies did no other thing else from day to day but heape hellish sentence vpon sentence of excōmunication depriuation against the good Emperour who not withstanding all their Infernall fulminations and Cerbereall oblatrations receiued more honour in Rome at the hands of both Clergy Laity there then they all three did in Auinion and in spite of the Diuell liued longer in the Empire then they all three did in the Papacy But who list to learne more of the quarrels and contentions betweene the good Emperour Lodowike and the foresaid three euill popes of Auinion let them read the histories of Blondus Sabellicus Merula Cuspinianus and Thomas Walsingham who likewise do tell how that Edward the third King of England who went ouer into Germany to salute the said Emperour to treat of an alliance with him against France was met of the said Emperour at Colein and admitted to be his Vicar generall in the Empire And the same Lodowickes father named Lodowicke the Seuere Prince Palatine together with his brother Henry Duke of Bauier had likewise chosen Richard Earle of Cornwall son of King Iohn to be Emperour like as Robert the first of this name Prince Palatine for this Title is in Aurea Bulla as well as that of Count Palatine did choose the foresaid King Edward the third to be Emperour after the death of Lodowicke the 5. though hee too modestly indeed refused the said dignity By which particulars wee may espy how that the Palatine Princes haue been in former times very officious to the Kings of England and their children hoping that they shall hereafter proue yet more officious forward in the same kind then euer they haue done before to the end that old prophesies may take effect which doe promise that the Imperiall dignity shall for many yeares continue in Britanny as our Sibylla Britannica shall largely shew The other Emperour of the Palatine house was Robert surnamed the Noble who reigned in great honor 9 yeares and 9 moneths from whom prince Fredericke is the 9. as the pedigree lately published doth shew and who was so highly beloued of pope Boniface the 9. that hee not onely furthered and confirmed his election but also granted him towards a subsidy one yeares tythes of the Clergy through all Germany as Cuspinianus and others do write So that this good Pope in doing this good office and in vsing so well the worthy Emperour did answere to his name and was a Boniface indeed farre otherwise then did Benedictus the 12. and Clement the 6 in the behalfe of the other Palatine Emperour named before And for mine owne part I wish with all my heart that many such Bishops may sit in the Apostolicall Chaire as may both in their own persons giue vnto God the things that are Gods vnto Caesar the things that are Caesars and with blessed S. Peter teach all Christians to feare God honor the King The foresaid Robert the good Emperour who was so highly beloued of the good pope Boniface the 9. was a prince renowned for his great spirit quicke wit heroicall courage for his loue and study of Iustice for the which cause he was surnamed Robertus Iustimanus for his carefull endeuouring to repaire the ancient glory of the Empire Hee came into England with a goodly company as Fabian Cooper do write in the yeare 1403. to see the magnificence of the Court and the commodities of the Countrey who of King Henry the 4. was honorably triumphantly receiued feasted and during his abode lodged at S. Iohns by Smithfield lastly conueyed towards the seaside where either departed frō other with exchange of rich pretious gifts for this Robert saith our said English Author was a prince of great bounty liberality and magnificence and shewed diuers effects thereof towards the English at his departure He was likewise the first Emperor that euer ware S. Georges renowned order commonly called The Order of the Garter as Maximilian the 2. another glorious Emperour was the eighth He was likewise the first of the three Palatines which haue ben honored with the foresaid noble Order Iohn Casimire being the second who receiued it at the hands of famous Queene Elizabeth about the same time of the yeare day of the moneth to wit the 8. of February that P. Fredericke being the third receiued it at the hands of our gracious K. Iames. The said Emperor Roberts wife was named Elizabeth the Empresse princesse Palatine and was a Lady of singular vertue piety bounty chastity charity towards the poore who brought forth to her worthy husband many fine children to wit fiue sons by the meanes of the yongest whereof P. Fredericke is descended from the said Emperor Empres in the 9. degree three daughters by the meanes of the eldest wherof named Margaret princesse Elizabeth is likewise descended from them in the 10 degree the which numbers in thē vnited make vp K. Iames his luckly number of Nineteene Thus wee see that like as our most gracious King Iames with his hopefull children prince Charles princesse Elizabeth are lineally descended from two Margarets and one Elizabeth of Britany being the renowned daughters of prince Edward surnamed the Outlaw K. Edward the 4. and K. Henry the 7. in whose tripled right the two Margarets being married to two kings of Scotland Malcolme Cammore and Iames the 4. he doth at this day happily and rightfully enioy this Crowne So are they likewise descended lineally from other two Margarets an Elizabeth of Germany to wit frō Margaret Countesse of Holland Dutchesse of Bauier Empresse wife to Lodowicke the Emperour from Elizabeth Dutchesse of Bauier princesse Palatine and Empresse wife to Robert the Emperour and sustly from Margaret Dutchesse of Loraine the eldest daughter of the said Robert the Emperour and Elizabeth the Empresse and who was married to the most noble and valorous prince Charles surnamed Marcelle or the warlike Duke of Loraine from whom I haue deriued our hopefull P. Charles his pedigree and that as well on his noble mothers as on his happy fathers side and yet more from Emperours Kings and Princes of the name of Charles to the number of 9. besides those of other names as also I haue done from P. Albert Marquise of Brandeburge who for his incomparable courage was called the Achilles of Germany wishing with all my heart that like as prince Charles was borne on his day doth participate of his bloud so he may likewise inherit his heroical prowesse and so one day be enstiled the Achilles of Britanny the which our hearty wish is more fully expressed in an Astrologicall and Historicall poem made vpon his Natiuity And thus for the present are we contented to shut vp this Genealogicall summe with this six-line-Epigram in honour of Fredericke and Elizabeth whom the God of heauen prosper and preserue Both from Augustus and Augusta spring Lodwicke-Margret Robert-Elizabeth Both in one month Ioue to the light did bring Augustus nam'd which this good presage hath AVGVSTVS fate one day must them befall And him AVGVSTVS her AVGVSTA call FINIS

Tempests and stormes before they fall they haue borne little boies on their backes from shore to shore they haue rescued many from the danger of drowning in the sea they haue brought the bodies of the

when all his fellowes did drowne and when his funerall-fire was in making neere to the sea-side of Miletus they were seene in the neerest they could come to the shore to solemnize in their manner Coeranus their redeemers obsequies There is such a kind of brotherly loue amongst them that when any one of them chanceth to bee taken they do in great troupes repaire before the Taker making signes of entreaty for their fellowes release Aelianus doth write that there is in diuers respects a great similitude and resemblance betweene the Lyon the King of land-beasts and the Dolphin the King of sea-creatures Finally the Ancients had the Dolphins in so great veneration for their admirable Mankind-nature that they esteemed it a thing vnlawfull to take them or to do them any harme and therefore Oppianus exclaimeth against the Bizantins for their vnkind killing eating of so kind a creature the which thing learned Casaubonus hath likewise obserued in his Commentaries vpōn Athenaeus Dolphins

Musition his rescuage by a Dolphin is celebrated by the common testimony of Historians and both Herodotus Hyginus do write how that Pyranthus or Periander King of Corinth who loued Arion for his melodie and skill of Musick did reare vp a stately monument statue in honour of that Dolphin that rescued him and made hang the mercilesse Marriners which had intended his death before the said Monument Finally Stesichorus and Plutarchus do report how that Telemachus the son of Vlisses being saued by a Dolphin from drowning his father in remembrance therof euer bare thereafter the picture of a Dolphin in his Shield Signet and Sword pomell So did they once sweete-an'd Arion saue Amids the waues from Sailers hurtfull hand Telemachus nie drown'd they did not leaue But him rescu'd and fet him

Hierome and great store thereof did grow in the Persian fields about Susa the delicate and most sweet winter-seat of the Kings of Persia The which Cities name is by interpretation a Lilly as Athenaeus doth witnesse and was so named according to the testimony of Stephanus in Vrbibus from the abound●nce of faire Lillies there growing It was once the Citty of Abradate and Panthaea who are so highly praised by Xenophon afterwards by St. Hierom. When Cyrus had ouercome the Assyrians this Persian Princesse was taken her husband Abradate Prince of Susa being then absent in Bactria hee being the most worthy and valorous Chiefetaine of his time and she both the most vertuous and the most beauteous Lady of all Asia who when as some of King Cyrus his Courtiers did comfort her the best way they could telling her amongs other matters that in steed of an Abradate she was to be honoured with the loue and society of a Cyrus no sooner heard she these words but she began to beate her breast to teare her haire and to rent her cloathes and vaile from top to toe taking vp amids her mournfull maids a most bitter lamentation The consideration of whose incomparable beauty and worth made Cyrus to forbeare to come into her sight as fearing to be ouercome
