together that though there appeare among them and their distinct publique services as in digitis divisio it shall not be ab unitate praecisio And verily the two kingdomes are like two hands warming and enfolding each other continuing two yet in one body where if the right hand challenge more necessary use and service in the body then the left or the left hand more than the right and one not readily yeeld to joyne with the other as is meete the head may in his good pleasure make choice and use of either as in the Romane Story when Tribunes disagreed for chiefest honour Quintus Servilius Consul of much lesse dignity and authority than a King tooke the matter into his owne hands saying Patria Majestas altercationem istam dirimet Here Prudence among Subjects hath need intermeddle with all other vertues and shew the power of union in her selfe where Justice demandeth right fortitude tollerateth what ought be borne temperance reformeth will subdueth anger moderateth passion and represseth ambition and all in unity of obedience coupled together bring forth plentifull fruit for society honour and joy Which thing well pleased Marcus Furius Camillus Dictator of Rome seeing all the Senate and Subjects of Rome not only accord in the common execution of each office for common good of all but willingly and lovingly both highest and meanest to embrace one the other saying that the Common-Weale was flourishing and most happy Si tales viros in magistratu habeat tam concordibus junctos animis parere atque imperare juxta paratos laudemque conferentes potius in medium quam ex communi ad se trahentes whereof the Senate Consuls and Tribunes gave testimony and good proofe when they all submitted all authority to Camillus perswaded in themselves Nec quicquam de majestate sua detractum quod majastati ejus viri concessissent In Britaines union England may not exalt it selfe above Scotland nor Scotland strive against England but both as members of one and the same body under one and the same head ought to have the same care one for the other as if one member suffer all suffer with it and if one be honoured all the members rejoyce with it and as in the Church so in the common-Weale one is my Dove one is my darling shee is the only beloved of her mother and deer to her that bare her so I know there are diversities of gifts and differences of administrations and divers manners of operations in both and God hath set the members of the whole body every one of them severall in the body as it hath pleased him but omnia ab uno ad unum All from one head and to one end Hee that is wise will consider this Qui vero curiosiores sunt quam capatiores quaedam mag●is contentiose objectanda quam prudenter consideranda esse arbitrantur And now seeing I have waded so far in the union of Britaines English may not mislike that Scottish beare Office among and with them as if they were of a farre Countrey hunting after others Treasures serving the King of Babylon and not as the same Subjects to Hezechias for they are of and for England as we and we of and for Scotland as they and both for both being made one Nay rather we ought desire their society and rejoyce in this community setting before our eyes for example that saying of Austin of the communion of Saints made fellow heires with Christ through the mercy of our good God Deus cum baberet unicum noluit esse unum sed habere fratres And if in humane matters humane examples more move remembring that Scipeo was as glad of his brothers preferment as of his owne and that Castor would not be a god without his brother Pollux but would be only Semideus that his brother might partake with him as is well said Habent oculi in corpore magnum honorem sed minorem haberent si soli essent In the time of Claudius the Emperour when it was consulted that the Senate should bee supplyed with more Senators the Peeres and Nobles of France long before enfranchised free denizens of Rome sought also to participate in honours magistracies and dignities with Romanes and the matter being handled on both sides with great consideration the Romanes alleadged against the French that Italy wanted no sufficient men within it selfe for it selfe And that there was no reason to incorporate others with them who had beene at so deadly hatred and bloody warres against them What no private men not the common People not Strangers but enemies taken into the Senate Was it not counted for a wonder that the Athenians did take onely Anacharsis into their City Would the Lacedemonians admit the Tyrrheni to participate in their honors though they had done them service And had their mothers also Athenian women But the good Emperour replying said to the Senators that he would assume into the Senate of all his Subjects such as he found most worthy of what Countrey soever alledging that his owne Ancestors were descended from the Sabins and made of Nobility and Senate of Rome and that the Iulij were taken from Alba Coruncani from Camerium the Porcij from Tusculum Etruria and Lucania and from all parts of Italy chosen into the Senate And that by this meanes Italy was extended and greatly enlarged so as not onely the people but all their possessions had their dependance upon the state of Rome and grew into one Nation and people of Rome And that a setled state chiefly flourished when the people inhabiting even beyond the River Padus were received into the community of Romane Citizens And lastly that nothing was more hurtfull to the Lacedemonians and Athenians then refusall to encrease the common-weale by accesse of new and other people What Shall not they be admitted because they and Romanes have had deadly feud one against another So the Aequi so the Volsci And yet are now all one and the same people of Rome This forcible speech pierced their hearts and prevailed so as that all submitted their judgement to the Emperours wisedome Which thing I thought good here to remember not forgetting also what Anna said to Dido Quam tu urbem soror hanc cernes quae surgere regna Connubio tali Troum Comitantibus armis Punica se quantis attollet gloria rebus Which if we consider as we should wee cannot then but ingenuously acknowledge that good and praise-worthy was the speech of Paedaretus who uederstanding he was not chosen into the number of the Trecenti who chiefly bare rule said he did glory there were so many his betters in the Common-weale And no lesse commendable was his saying who wished hee could raise frō the dead many moe such excellent Citizens as Quintus Fabius well advertised Titus Octacilius Nec tu id indignari possis aliquem in civitate Romana meliorem haberi quam te Doubtlesse the Common-Weale is more happy and doth there
