ESSAYES Of Certaine PARADOXES At London Printed for Th. THORP 1616. praysed K. RICHARD the 3d The French POCKES NOTHING Good to be in DEBT THE PRAYSE OF King RICHARD the THIRD THat Princes are naturally ambitious and that Ambition makes them to effect their desires rather then to affect the equitie of their designes may more truly then safely be auowed For all of them I thinke were the record of their actions indifferent might be taxed of this vice But this excuse cleares not the accused yet it testifies that Princes erre against nature if they aspire not We hold not without reason that if the bill of the Plaintiffe bee stuffed with friuolous assertions that the complaint fauoureth more of malice then of wrong Why should not the same Axiome bee a motiue to cleare this wronged Prince whose accusers lay to his charge the anguish his Mother felt when he came into the world then which accusation what can be more friuolous it being a punishment hereditary to all women from the first His being toothed as soone as borne seemes to me rather a blessing then any imputation as being a presage of his future worthinesse and as all Nurses will confesse an ease of much paine and danger But he was crook-backt lame il-shapen il-fauoured I might impute that fault to Nature but that I rather thinke it her bounty for she being wholly intentiue to his minde neglected his forme so that shee infused a straight minde in a crooked bodie wherein shee shewed her carefull prouidence For oftentimes the care to keepe those parts well formed with-drawes mens mindes from better actions and drownes them in effeminate curiositie His lamenesse turned to his glory for with those imperfect limmes hee performed actions most perfectly valiant How rightly his Father claimed his brother obtained the Scepter is sufficiently knowne and therefore superfluous and impertinent and also how his brother dusked his right if right by abrogating the oath which he sware at Yorke that his comming in armes was only for that Dukedome But to dilate how variable and inconstant the people of those times were shall be more necessary and effectuall that knowing their inconstancie their traditions like themselues may the lesse bee beleeued so light-headed so foolish so irreligious as their opinion for what else are the thoughts of Ignorance but opinion made them breake their oath to their Prince and to such a Prince as they did not shame to dislike onely because hee was too good Him they abandoned deposed after restored not as desiring being guilty of their owne fault but onely that it stood with the liking of Warwicke the child of their loue If then they were such as indeede they were and that those relations wee haue must come from that people it were better I thinke to bury their traditions then refute their obiections were not our age apt to erre infected with this folly For his brother K. Edward though his vices seem not to adde vertues to this condemned Prince yet questionlesse they doe making all his ill-estimated actions of an other nature Hee obtained the Crowne but rather fortunately then wisely were not all wisedome thought folly to which Fortune lends not successe For I thinke Lust or if you will terme it Loue could not more haue preuailed with the most licencious creature then at once to breake the bonds of amity discretion and policy and all to enioy a woman in respect of his heighth base a widow and of his enemy without bringing him either alliance or riches proppes most pertinent to his new-erected buildings Wherein besides his breach of regall discretion with his chiefest friend the Earle of Warwick whom he had sent into France to treate of marriage betweene him and the Lady Bona wherein being deluded hee became his mortallest enemie his abuse to God was more abominable being before betrothed as his owne mother constantly affirmed to the Lady Elizabeth Lucy in testimony whereof hee had layde such earnest as should haue bound any common man much more a King to performance How soone the wrath of God followed this his irreligious inconstancie his being driuen from the Seate-Royall into exile the birth of his sonne in a Sanctuary hauing no place else of freedome in his Fathers kingdome the miserie of all his partakers sufficiently testifie In which generall misery who did more truely follow him Who more faithfully ayded him then his now disgraced Brother Whereas his other Brother Clarence not onely left him but ioyned in marriage with the daughter of his principall enemie and holpe to expulse him with what loue what constancy his indeauours his aduenturing his life to restore him doth witnesse Neuer was he noted all the life of K. Edward to thirst after the Kingdome neuer denyed hee any commandement of his Prince but performed all his employments discreetly valiantly successfully The suspition of helping his Brother Clarence to his end was but a suspition since the kings old displeasure awaked by a new Prophesie was vndoubttedly the cause if otherwise when he after repented him hee would haue misliked of Gloucester it being naturall to sinne but vnnaturall to ease others of their crimes For the killing of the Heire of the house of Lancaster at Tewksburie if so seemes to mee rather the effect of loue to his Brother then crueltie to the Prince for he was an enemie yea the chiefe and principall enemie of the contrarie faction Yet it cannot be proued the action of Richard but that it was an act wished by the King to be done and executed in both their presences by the Duke of Clarence the Marquesse Dorset the Lord Hastings and others The death of Henrie the 6. in the Tower can no way belong to him since the same reason that cleareth his Brother fitteth him hee being able if desiring his death to haue effected it by a more vnworthy hand And indeed this accusation hath no other proofe then a malicious affirmation For many more truely did suppose that hee dyed of meere melancholie and griefe when he had heard of the ouerthrow of his friends and slaughter of his sonne But if it were true though it spots him with bloud yet it confirmes his loue to his Prince which loue was so coldly requited as might haue mooued a true louer of Rewards more then of Vertue to haue altered his indeauors whether it were a iealousie of the Nobilitie of his blood or of the height of his spirit whether the abundance of affection to bee led by a woman or that hee was defectiue in all brotherly affection certaine it is he rather imployed him then rewarded his imployments Contrary the Queenes kindred daylie to rise meerely without desert but that they were of her kindred and their basenesse being thus suddenly exalted not only to plucke from him promotions due to his deserts but to enuie the Duke and contend with him how insupportable it must be to
