brother it was subiect to storme ful of contentions war shedding of bloud but ioined with his brother it flourished with peace and at this day is blessed in the vniformity of government there established And in mine opinion it is well observed in the Cronicle of Wales how God was not pleased with the first change of the name of Brittaine into the name of England for presently followed the terrible and cruel invasion of the Danes after that the conquest of the Normans But memorable is it that the Brittaines ruled al the whole I le togither with the out Iles of VVight Mon in English Anglisee Manaw in English Man Orkney and Ewyst 1137. yeares before Christ and after the yeare of his incarnation 688. even to the death of Cadwallader the last King of Brittaines and of the noble race of Troians Which when in succeeding age many mightie famous Kings of England considered they laboured by al meanes to recouer and resume the name and stile of Kings of great Brittaine accounting it dishonorable to leese any iot of the honor of there most princely progenitors And therefore King Knute King of England mighty in his dominions of Swethen from Germany to the North poles with Norway and Denmarke having obtained prosperous successe in warring against Scotland is recorded after his death the mightiest prince in the West parts of the world and of al the noble I le of Brittaine And so VVilliam the Conquerer for the good successe he likewise had in Scotland is recorded king of al Brittaine Henry the second surnamed Curtmantle is also for like successe recorded king of al Brittaine And if they be Renowned and honored with name and stile of Brittaine which by rightful descent or by conquest were inheritours but to one part only though by their fortunes in warre they also claimed the other what rightful title must we then acknowledge most iustly now to belong to his most excellent Maiestie in the imperial crowne of both who by lineal descent inheriteth both Which thing seemeth in his highnesse late proclamation to be strongly and truely enforced for that his Maiesty doth not covet any new affected name but assumeth a title warranted by authentical charter and records of great antiquity not borrowed of forraine nations but from the actes of his progenitours both before and sithence the conquest who had not so iust nor great cause as his Maiestie hath Causa iubet superos melior sperare secundos Here I wish I had as many eies as Argos to looke into their devises who seeke to divide England from Scotland Scotland from England renouncing the name of great Brittaine least ioined in one they might as the forenamed stars appeare togither shine togither and bring ioy togither I would then not spare to lay open as Cneius Flavius did reveale to the world the tricks and misteries of Lawyers of that time and therefore was said to put out their eies and to cut their purses how also these Adamants hinder the natural power and vertue of the load stone whom I cal Adamants aswel for repugnant qualities as that they be truely Adamants even Sonnes of Adam practising rather in disobedience dissention and ruine of al to lay hands vpon that is forbidden then to draw the yron nay golden chaine of lincks of loue in obedience to the king and for common peace and preservation of men But herein such imitate the devise of Q Fabius Labeo Val. 3. 3. seeking to haue the ship of common weale divided in partes as when by compact of league with Antiochus he ought to receiue halfe part of Antiochus shippes cut them al in the middest craftely so to defraude Antiochus of his whole Nauy or else imitate they Cyrus Herod 1. dividing great Rivers into many litle Brookes til they be not only passable but even dried vp for so these seeke to stay the maine mighty Streame of great Brittaine by dividing it and in dividing to make it of sundry kindes vnlike it selfe Such dividing into parts is disioyning of the parts by disioyning dismembring and by dismembring spoyling making Plin. 36. 17. the stone Scyros which whole and firmely compacted doth swim and floate aboue the waters to sincke and be drowned because it is divided But our two famous kingdomes with al their provinces shires and Countries vnited into the name of great Brittaine are like the goodly and pleasant river Danubius which passing by many Countries keepeth his name til it enter into Illiricum where receiving into it sixtie other rivers of diverse other names leeseth not only his owne and al their other names of parts but is called Ister one for al containing al. Here I require both of English and Scottish is either of them now as a people disiointed one from the other Or as Sande without Lime Or scattered straw without binding Or as Sampsons Foxes running divers and contrary waies with fire-brands of dissention among them Nay here in the glory of great Brittaine is renowned that King Iames and his Royal issue doe gather togither that which was scattered and vnite that which was divided and restore that which vvas lost and saue that which was endangered even by this meanes vniting al in one name of Brittaine as it was saide of Rome vniting so manie Countries into it selfe al parts which disagreed heretofore are now well agreeing Heerevpon Rome was said to be anchora a fluctuanti mundo as he faith in Tacitus regnae bellag per Gallias semper fuêre donec in nostrum ius cōcederetis So happily doeth this vniversal coniunction of all vnder one head take away al discorde and maintaine coniunction of loue for everlasting continuance Onely they which wil be alone and not contained vnder one name of great Brittaine are not bound vp with the sheaues nor carried home into the Barne and therefore are like gleanings after harvest left behinde in the field subiect to storme they come not two and two into this arke and whatsoeuer remaineth alone extra arcam perit Such are not vnlike that captaine whom Xerxes Herod ● rewarded with a garland for escaping aliue when al other Souldiers were slaine and yet because he came alone without the rest he hanged him and as the Athenians in the warre with the Herod 5.
