and agreement the more Tuscus freely bestowed and gave unto his brother Galatheus the great Island of Sicilia as then appertaining belonging unto the crowne and kingdome of Italie and which was then altogether desolate and disinhabited the race and generation of Cham Noes son the first commander therof being now extinct and perished Vnto this Island Galatheus made a journey carying with him great numbers and abundance of people and all things necessary for the in peopling and inhabiting thereof which people and nation he afterwards and from thence forth called after his owne name Galath-enes and erected and built also a very great citie there calling it by the name of Cenegalatha of which citie likewise Plinie in his fourth booke of Naturall hystorie doth there entreat and mention And it was held in those daies to be the greatest and cheefest honour that might bee to authorise and license any to build and erect any citie and to call it after his owne name for the denominating of which no man neither could give any leave or authoritie but those which were established in place and office of Coritus that is the Patriarke Iupiter or cheefe king and commander of that country as Tuscus then was being the sole king and ruler over all Italie and all those territories adjoyning thereunto And this grace and favour Galatheus tooke in great thankefulnesse and all kind acceptance endevouring by all means possible to be found gratefull for so high a favor received After all matters were well setled and orderly disposed in this new erected governement of Sicilia Galatheus returned backe againe into his countrey of Fraunce where with all signs and apparent tokens of a long wished welcome hee was joyfully received of his people in all the provinces round about where we must now leave him for a while to speak of his brother Tuscus and of his affaires and negotiations in his governement and charge This Tuscus as is before declared was the sole and absolute King Patriarke and Iupiter of all the dominions of Italie of whose name also a cheefe province of that kingdome then tooke her name and was called Tuscania and by the favourable good will of the tyrant Time who is wont to blot out all reliques and tokens of antiquitie it yet retaineth the same in which particular countrey hee for the most part made his continuall abode residence which before that time was called Etruria The diverse and severall names of Italie before that Ianicula and the people thereof Ianigenes which is as much to say as the issue of Ianus it was also called Oenotria Hesperia Apenina and many others according to the greatnesse or will of any such cheefe or famous king so commaunding and ruling over it Dionysius Halicarnasaeus writeth That the countrey Hetruria taken oftentimes for the whole and entire kingdome of Italie was also called Comera of Comerus Iaphets son and it had to name also Razenua It was also called Taurina and Saturnia Thuscia and Thussa and at this day Italia as hereafter shall be declared Berosus further sayth That at the first peopling and inhabiting thereof it was called Vmbria of the people Vmbri which heretofore we have somewhat touched as also Pelasgia of the people Pelasgi taken also sometimes for the inhabitants of a countrey in Greece Besides all these it was also knowne by the name of Tarrhenia as many authors of great and approved knowledge in matters of antiquitie have more amply delivered which opinion also should be more easily entertained if wee will but diligently marke the diverse and severall names given attributed unto other countries after the same fashion and manner for first concerning the people of Fraunce The old names of the people of Fraunce they were first of all called Samothei of Samothes their king then Celti then Galatij after that Belgae of their king and Patriarke Beligius after that Galli and since that Francigenae or Franci The names in like manner of the people of Germanie varied and differed very often and severally The names of the people of Germanie For the first name that ever that people received were Tuyscones of Tuyscon one of Noes sonnes the first that ever was king and ruler over that country After that they were called Gambrivij then Ingheones after that Isteones Suevi and Vandali then also Thetanes Theutontes Vindelici Vandalisci after that Alemanni and last of all of the Romanes as some hold they were generally entearmed Germani So that by these it is plainly shown how almost all countries and nations have at diverse times been diversly and differingly called by the occasion of which many writers that have not indeed seriously and laboriously lookt into fragments of old and authentike fathers for the derivations and first originals of cities and countries have beene infected with some disease or other of ignorance and errour by reason of which daungerous sickenesse first creeping though not perceived into the heads of men learned and of authoritie it hath prooved universally mortall to all those that have not invoked the aid of that good Physician Industrie throughout all the world wheresoever And so now againe wee will returne to the place from whence we last of all set forth which was from the matters and particulars which we handled of king Tuscus sole ruler and commaunder of all the countrey of Italy of whose actions or memorable atcheevements there is little read in any authors onely it is writ that hee first invented the order and dignitie of the Palladian knighthood and instituted large priviledges and allowances for the maintainance of that new found ceremonie And of any matter else which might challenge unto it selfe worth and extraordinarie commends done and performed by him few or no hystorians have written onely hee left after him his son Altheus inheritor rightfull successor to his government and kingdome Altheus then the son of Tuscus began to take upon him the rule and commaund of Italie presently after the death of his deceased father which was the fourth yeare after the death of his grandfather Hercules in Spaine who as you have heard left inheritour unto him Hesperus the brother of Atlas for the governement of that countrey which Hesperus had not there long reigned but hee was expulsed and driven out of his countrey by violent and oppressive meanes by his brother Atlas the gyant surnamed Italus so that now hee was enforced to forsake the countrey and to flie into Italie in one part of which hee afterward commaunded and called it after his own name Hesperia which name it long time afterwards retained After this Atlas Italus not contented sufficiently with the principalitie and dominion of Spaine as overambitiously thoughted came also into Italie and overswayed by his mightinesse and power al the country round about and created and established himselfe king ruler therof and called all the countrey generally after his owne name Italia by which it is at this day called

a great troupe and companie of followers friends he embarked for the cost of Phrygia to see the greatnesse of Dardanus and the beautie and excellencie of his new built citie Dardania After some tedious and troublesome travels in this voyage at the last hee arrived at his wished and desired place where with all manner of ceremonie he was joyfully entertained by Dardanus whose reciprocall and mutuall love grew in the end to bee such as hee resolved and there set downe his rest for ever to remaine and not to returne againe into Italie but sent word thether of his purposes and commaunding them to create and establish Turrhenus in his absence king and sole ruler over all that countrey In few yeares Dardanus began to grow unto great mightinesse riches and power who had also a neighbour prince of mightie puissance wealthie and fortunate whose name was Te●●rus whereupon many writers call the Phrygians also Teucri and this Teucrus was the sonne of Scamander and Idea and had also himselfe a very beautifull and faire daughter which hee maried shortly after unto Dardanus and was called Batea of whome Dardanus begot a sonne called E●icthonius who succeeded after him and was inheritour unto the kingdome of Phrygia This Ericthonius in processe of time arose up unto a wonderfull greatnesse and large possessions who as many writers do affirme was accounted to bee one of the richest kings in those daies in that part of the world who as it is also said had at the least three thousand horses of his owne continually feeding in his pastures And this Ericthonius had also a sonne whom he named Tros whome after his death hee left as successour and inheritour unto him and of whose name afterwards the Dardanians were called Trojans This Tros very much obliged and beautified the cittie also of Dardania 〈…〉 which long time after it retained 〈…〉 had three sonnes which were Ilus Assaracus 〈…〉 hee brought up in the knowledge 〈…〉 warlicke sciences unto which kind of studie as it is written hee himselfe also was much addicted and had many yeares together maintained hostile warres with the king of Crete called Iupiter the fourth of that name there in which warres his sonne Ganimedes was taken prisoner even by the hands of Iupiter himselfe who for that in his ensigne and colours he gave an Eagle being his armes it should seeme the Poets for that cause have devised and feigne 〈…〉 as hee was on hunting was snatcht up from the 〈◊〉 unto heaven by Iupiter 〈…〉 Eagle find that hee is now taken for one of the twelve signes of the Zodiake called Aquarius Some other authors also write that one Tantalus king of high Phrygia and of Paphlagonia a most miserable covetous and auaricious prince had laid certaine sna●es and privie meanes to entrap this Ganimedes and to take him prisoner as hee used to sport himselfe in hunting thinking by that devise to get a mightie raunsome of his father Tros for the redeeming and enfranchising of his imprisoned and captivated sonne and that this Tantalus sent him to one Iupiter of the Isle of Crete for to safegard him and to have halfe the raunsome which should bee paied for his redeliverie and freedome And for such like causes belike the Poets also doe invent and say that Tantalus is plagued and tormented in hell standing up to the chin in water and apples hanging downe unto his lips and yet can neither drinke nor tast the one or the other and it is also more credibly written that he died most miserably and in great extremitie His sonne Pelops also banished and exiled his owne naturall countrey fled into Greece and there maried a wonderfull rich wife and great ladie by which meanes hee got unto himselfe and obtained the commaund of a whole countrey which he called after his own name Peloponnesus which is now the countrey of Mauritania and subject unto the Empire of the Turke And of this Pelops issued and came the two famous captaines Agamemnon and Menelaus Tros thus having lost his sonne on this fashion studied upon revenge and in the meane times comforted himselfe with his two other sonnes Ilus and Assaracus And this Ilus called Troy after that Ilion who begat a sonne named Laomedon the father of the renowmed Priamus and of Assaracus issued and came Anchises Aeneas father And the before written Tros ruled commaunded there in great power and puissance for the space of threescore yeares or neare thereabouts Archilochus as Archilochus in his booke of Times alloadgeth Laomedon the sonne of king Ilus as is beforesaid after the death of his father tooke upon him the rule and government of Troy in the two hundred and two and twentieth yeare after the first foundation therof by Dardanus and hee had five sonnes and two daughters which were these Priamus Titonus Lampus Clytion and Letaon and of these Homer in his Iliads maketh further mention his daughters were Antigone and Hesione Homer The Greeke Poets who indeed for the most part are full of such like fables doe say that the two gods Neptune and Apollo for a certaine summe of money promised them by him went with him about the circuit of the citie and there erected wonderfull strong and most huge high wals round about the same the which wals afterwards finished accordingly and no money received nor to bee got Apollo in great rage and anger infected the citie with a deadly and generall pestilence and Neptune in token of his wrath and displeasure also sent a monster of the sea among them unto which they must every day give and throw a young child or els that they all should perish and bee devoured by the ravenous maw and hunger thereof and that in the end it happened upon the daughter of Laomedon called Hesione to be given unto this marine beast which say they was rescued and releeved by great fortune by Hercules of Greece which came that way and who afterwards slew that monster and in gratification therof the ladie Hesione the daughter of Laomedon was promised unto him not long after in marriage but yet not married unto him by reason of the unwillingnesse afterward howsoever it fell out of her father for the breach of which promise Hercules afterwards slew Laomedon in open battell and spoyled and ruinated such his glorious citie And for that Thelamon his consort had that day behaved himselfe very valiantly in fight hee bestowed the young ladie Hesione upon him as his concubine and slave who carried her away with him into the countrey of Solamina whereof he was then king and ruler But it is most certaine that for the most part all those Greeke writers have erred infinitely and have delivered many most unlikely hystories for this Hercules as hath been before spoken was a notable and a famous pyrate and hee slew Laomedon by trecherie and surprised Troy on a suddaine and unawares and also hee was a common ravisher of maidens as of Hesione Medea and others as

several parts being the Spring Summer Autumn and Winter Macrobius as Macrobius in his Saturnals also remembreth saying Ianus apud nos in quatuor partes spectat ut demonstrateius simulachrum èphaleris advectū Afterwards the Phenicians pourtraied him foorth in the forme of a Dragon biting her taile to shew thereby the roundnesse and the beginning and ending of the yeare In honour of him also at this day the first moneth of the yeare is called after his owne name Ianuarius Servius as Servius in his Aeneidos affirmeth The ancients likewise have shaped him forth with two keyes in his hand to shew thereby that he was the invent or of gates and dores as also of the locking of them and making them fast to the end that the holy temples and sacred places should not bee polluted with the impious abuse of theeves and uncivile persons and to avoid adulteries and other such like sinnes then raigning and of his name since have all dores and gates been called Ianuae In many other sorts and formes have the auncients defigured the image of this Noe Ianus as Propertius and many others have written who in the fourth booke of his Elegies thus speaketh Quid mirare meas tot in uno corpore formas Accipe Vertumni signa paterna dei Tuscus ego Tuscis orior c. And undoubtedly there hath not beene read of any that lived so uprightly and justly as this Patriarke Noe neither that ever any had such honours reverence and godlike adoration done unto him both in his life time and after his death who also was among those people in those daies called God neither is it to bee wondered that in those elder times there were so many gods held worshipped among the auncients for so much as it is to bee understood That in those daies all those princes rulers and governors that had lived vertuously justly and godly and had commaunded their people with mildnesse equitie and uprightnesse were entearmed gods and that also without performing any idolatrous adoration or reverence unto them as Metasthenes an auncient author and hystorian of Persia affirmeth where hee thus saith Ante Nynum ducentis quadragintà novem annis regnatum fuit sub tribus dijs regibus quorum qui primus universo imperavit orbi fuit Ogyges qui prefuit inundationi terrarū c. Cathon also another very auncient writer thus speaketh Italia complura a dijs ducibus sortita fuit nomina à Iano Ianicula quem quidem Enotrium dictum existimant quia invenit uvum far And for these and such like reasons Moyses and other godly Patriarkes were called gods not that they were so in essence but onely in participation as in the seventh chapter of Exodus it is written Ego te dedi deum Pharaoni and in the the three and twenty chapter Dijs non detrahes principem populi tui ne maledicas Further also the Prophet David thus sayth Principes populorum congregati sunt cum deo Abraham quoniam dij fortes terrae vehementer elevati sunt These things are thus so amply and at large exposed to the end that the reader of this Treatise should not so much marvell or wonder when mention is made in this booke of gods and goddesses which in those daies were so much observed and reverenced Ovid. Ovid rehearsing the words of this Noe Ianus and shewing that in his death the golden age ceased thus sayth Tunc ego regnabam patiens cum terra deorum Esset humanis numina mixta locis Nondum iustitiam facinus mortale fugarat Vltima de superis illa reliquit humum Proque meta populum sive vt pudor ille regebat Nullus erat iustis reddere iura labor Nil mihi cum bello postes pacem que tuebar c. And as Noe was among these auncients thus honored and adored and temples and altars consecrated unto him so also was Titea his wife held in great reverence worship and holy esteeme who was called also Vesta Aretia Terra Regina sacrorum magna Cybeles Materque deorum atque Vestalium Princeps sive Abbatissa as Berosus and other writers affirme Having thus touched the death of this good Patriarke Noe it shall not bee now impertinent something to remember and speake of the wicked and abhominable life of his degenerate sonne Cham which although of it selfe it be worthlesse of any recapitulation or recitall yet to descend to the lineall genealogie of the Lybian Hercules the Great it cannot bee well omitted from which Hercules Dardanus the first founder and erecter of Troy descended and came It hath been alreadie specified how Noe deviding the universall earth unto his children and how Cham abounding in all vices and detestable courses notwithstanding was not deprived of his portion but had his right of inheritance justly allotted unto him which was the third part of the world and particularly Affrica to the hether part of Aegypt for which countries he was commaunded by his father to depart with his wife Noegla and five and thirtie rulers which is as much to say as the cheefes of familie of his bloud and house as also with all their children and issue which was accordingly performed and presently he established himselfe as king and Saturne of Aegypt where he erected and built a citie called Chem-Myn and among them also he himselfe was called Pan and Silvanus which people likewise so engendred and issued of that familie to honour and worship him the more and to shew their love unto him lived in all impious and ungracious manner perpetrating most odious and soule-damning villanies affirming publickly That men ought lawfully to have the companie of their owne mothers sisters and daughters in all lusts and concupiscence of the flesh and other many most inhumane and shamefull acts not to be recited And to shew that they gloried and bosted in the wickednesse of such their king and ruler they entearmed him by the name of Cham Esenuus which signifieth their infamous god Pan. And thus he ruled in Egipt long time even unto the six and fiftith yeare of the raigne of Iupiter Belus the second king of Babylon in the which yeare he began to travell and came into Italie which was then called Kytim to his brother Comerus Gallus the first king of that countrey after whose death C ham presently usurped and undertooke that mightie governement who in stead of vertuous instructions and godly laws in which all other princes round about him his kinsmen commaunding Germanie Spaine and France had instructed and taught their people cleane contrarie infected the youth of Italie with all manner of impieties incivilitie and corruptible vices persuading them beeing of themselves well addicted to usurie robberie murder poysonings and the studie of the Magicke art who by reason of his owne great skill therein was surnamed Zoroastes and was the first inventor and practiser of that vild and diabolicall learning of the use of which hee composed and
