much on the knowledge of hidden sinne be not sinne But be thou aduised by me referre all to the Lorde detest all meanes that may seduce thy mind arme thee with the shield of faith pray that thy beliefe may be increased let all things seeme vile to thee in respect of true repentance and thou shalt finde the working of God beyond conceit enter not into his iudgements but cleaue vnto his mercies if thou beest tempted pray vehemently what though for a while thy Soule be dull and heauie it is my Sonne for no other cause but to make thy ioy more fuller What can be a more certayne proofe of mercie than grace to detest sinne or how can man better ouercome sinne than by imploring mercie But tell me what thou art and thy course of life that I may further counsell thee Robert hearing this heauenly Hermit in how deuine sort he sollaced him began to gather hart and could him the order of his birth the manner of his life with other matters too tedious in this place to discourse of And when the ould man was fully satisfied he tould him the waight of sinne the reward of sinne exemplifying to him the fruites of repentance and in such manner schooled him that of a lewd young man he reconciled him to a stayed and holie course of life enioyning him for pennance to goe baresoote to Rome on Pilgrimage wearing at his back a cloth of haire Robert after his stay about seuen dayes with the Hermit was in some sort recouered and intending his soules health besought the company of the Hermit to his Castell where finding those his dissolute mates who were left aliue he first by earnest perswasions sought to reconcile them and finding them no wayes tractable he put them all to death as being vipers in his fathers common weale and locking vp the doores he led the Hermit into his Treasury where shewing him the riches which he had taken from others he humblie prayed him to resort vnto his Father and Mother to present his submission and report his contrition beseeching them to make restitution to euery one whome he had wronged and with bitter compassion hee so washed the poore Hermits head in teares that the good olde man reioycing in spirit cryed out Benedictus dominus in omnibus operibus suis and taking their leaue the one of the other the Hermit trauailed to the Court at Roan and Robert walked on his iourney towards Rome How Aubert heard of his Sonnes ouerthrow and did reward the messengers and how the Hermit arriued at the Court whose ioyfull tidings was great comfort to the Duke and Duches VVHilst Aubert in deepe melancholie dispended his dayes loathing the detested reports of his Sonnes practises and consulting with his Nobles in what sort he might cut off such an improfitable off-spring the messengers of the Duke of Constances presented themselues before him who after their most humble reuerence signifyed to the Duke the whole sequel of their message first the death of their yong Lord lastly the discomfiture of his lewde Sonne which tidings so wounded him to the hart as for a long time he continued as it were in an extasie not knowing to what hopes he might aspire seeing his succession so desperate but calling to his remembrance that a Princes word was a sufficient warrant and the losse which as he supposed he had sustained was rather the occasion to cut off a continuall griefe he cleered his distressed lookes wherein care had planted many furrowes and turning vnto them with milde countenance gaue them this friendly aunswere My friends if my brother of Constances hath reuenged his sonnes death as you certified me he hath performed the part of a friend and exemplified my iustice for which cause in that he hath rid our common weale of a Rebell and his Father of a wicked sonne we entertaine you as messengers from our friend and deseruers in our estate and for this cause we thinke good that out of our Treasury he receiue such reward as we appointed and you for your paine taking shall enioy this small reward of two hundreth marks in this sort causing his bountie and the prefixed recompence to be deliuered vnto them he discharged them falling into deepe consultation with his Counsell about the affayres of succession there was no hart so indurate that considered on the desperate estate of Prince Robert but lamented some one admyring his valiancie some after his supposed losse arguing Duke Constances of crueltie who otherwise hated the yong Prince most deadly But the consultation of the Princes was broken off by the sodaine repayre of the Duches who hearing of the desperate estate of her Sonne and vncertaine of his safetie and life filled the whole Pallace with feminine clamours an euery side was sorrow seated neyther was there eye so partiall in the whole assembly that shead not some tears till sodainly in midst of this garboyle the olde Hermit entered the presence whose sodaine ●xcesse brought them all into expectation so that the olde Duke comforting his faire Editha attentiuely gaue eare expecting some noueltie when after most humble reuerence the reuerent Father began his discourse after this manner These strange alterations in your lookes you Princes perswades me of your ouergreat forwardnesse in passions who are castly ouercome with euery light ioy and sodainely crossed with the lightest trouble which fruite of intemperance with reuerence you Nobles may I be bould to tell you ariseth through want of equabilitie in minde and assured remembrance that you are mortall If according to your worldly store your estates were constant you should be so farre from knowing God as you would quite forget him At the entraunce of thy Pallace Aubert I see men weeping because the report runneth thou art wretched thus are all affections ruled by the affaires of the mightie and honour is so sauourie a thing in those mens mindes who would be great that it sootheth and is soothed by all sorts of them In Traians time all men loued iustice because he was iust in Octauians before him all hunted after peace in that he was peaceable in Heliogabalus dayes all were wanton in that he was wanton and now since thy minde is vexed with doubtfull griefe thy subiects likewise are attaynted with doubtfull griefe But dry vp your teares good Princes and reioyce Prince Robert supposed dead is surely liuing yet dead to his olde wickednesse following better wayes for after he escaped from his enemyes he arriued in my Hermitage where after I had cured his woundes and counselled him from his wickednesse hee vndertooke his voyage and Pilgrimage to Rome but before resorted to Thuringue labouring to disswade the remnant of his followers from their lewd life which when he could not effect he in my presence slewe them vnder pretence as he sayd to rid his countrey of caterpillers And in that dread Prince and my liege Lord Aubert he hath mightely offended you he humbly by me beséecheth his pardon
