philadelphus_n or_o a_o defence_n of_o brute_n and_o the_o brutans_n history_n write_a by_o r._n h._n imprint_v at_o london_n by_o john_n wolf_n 1593._o to_o the_o most_o noble_a lord_n the_o lord_n

present_v now_o unto_o your_o lordship_n this_o historical_a essay_n in_o print_n which_o i_o offer_v before_o in_o writing_n either_o because_o i_o be_o urge_v to_o this_o duty_n by_o your_o most_o honourable_a munificence_n towards_o i_o or_o because_o i_o can_v provide_v my_o other_o exercise_n write_v of_o great_a and_o grave_a matter_n yet_o i_o take_v the_o defence_n of_o mediocrity_n for_o a_o matter_n of_o some_o weight_n both_o in_o this_o history_n of_o brute_n which_o be_v make_v litigious_a and_o in_o any_o other_o position_n of_o much_o less_o importance_n even_o of_o hair_n itself_o insomuch_o as_o mediocrity_n can_v be_v disalow_v it_o be_v manifest_a that_o some_o have_v write_v more_o of_o brute_n then_o behove_v they_o but_o some_o have_v behave_v themselves_o unkind_o against_o brutan_n and_o do_v less_o for_o they_o than_o they_o shall_v they_o be_v on_o both_o part_n too_o learned_a for_o i_o i_o be_o not_o worthy_a to_o be_v their_o moderator_n in_o this_o question_n of_o brute_n howbeit_o as_o they_o have_v free_o deliver_v their_o opinion_n with_o out_o any_o stop_n so_o will_v i_o show_v the_o good_a will_v i_o bear_v to_o the_o one_o part_n without_o any_o hatred_n to_o the_o other_o god_n forbid_v that_o diversity_n of_o study_n shall_v bring_v forth_o a_o divorcement_n of_o heart_n among_o neighbour_n and_o friend_n it_o be_v better_v no_o book_n at_o all_o be_v write_v then_o to_o a_o break_v the_o bond_n of_o unity_n and_o loosen_v the_o yoke_n of_o obedience_n by_o they_o see_v we_o may_v live_v better_o without_o they_o man_n without_o these_o i_o hope_v i_o be_o clean_a from_o any_o abuse_n in_o this_o present_a treatise_n i_o will_v ever_o honour_v stranger_n for_o their_o good_a quality_n of_o learning_n and_o life_n but_o i_o must_v not_o hold_v my_o hand_n and_o pen_n still_o when_o i_o see_v they_o too_o busy_a in_o toss_v our_o history_n and_o act_n at_o their_o own_o pleasure_n which_o appertain_v not_o unto_o they_o they_o can_v stay_v i_o from_o my_o study_n more_o than_o i_o keep_v they_o from_o this_o practice_n i_o favour_v the_o history_n of_o brute_n without_o regard_n of_o their_o disfavour_v as_o they_o dislike_v it_o without_o respect_n of_o other_o man_n like_n i_o can_v in_o loyalty_n defend_v every_o brute_n but_o i_o may_v without_o any_o breach_n of_o duty_n defend_v this_o great_a brute_n of_o brutanie_n wherefore_o i_o most_o humble_o beseech_v your_o most_o excellent_a good_a lordship_n to_o accept_v of_o this_o mighty_a captain_n present_a defence_n even_o as_o your_o

magnificent_a &_o sweet_a favour_n herein_o i_o most_o hearty_o commend_v your_o true_a renown_a honour_n to_o the_o bless_a estate_n of_o immortality_n your_o lordship_n in_o all_o thankful_a duty_n richard_n harvey_n a_o defence_n of_o brutus'_n history_n master_n buchanan_n though_o some_o call_v you_o the_o trumpet_n of_o scotland_n and_o some_o the_o noble_a scholar_n yet_o i_o will_v be_v so_o bold_a as_o answer_v your_o alarm_n touch_v the_o history_n of_o mighty_a brute_n because_o your_o invective_n treatise_n be_v in_o truth_n more_o factious_a then_o effectual_a you_o and_o such_o hotbraine_n have_v devise_v a_o faction_n and_o divorcement_n of_o opinion_n i_o dare_v say_v without_o fruit_n and_o i_o believe_v without_o cause_n for_o my_o part_n your_o denial_n be_v not_o able_a once_o to_o move_v i_o and_o your_o reason_n against_o brutus_n history_n shall_v never_o persuade_v any_o sufficient_a reader_n to_o agree_v with_o you_o and_o remove_v the_o mark_n and_o

or_o a_o scot_n a_o moonke_v or_o a_o traveller_n and_o if_o neither_o barrel_n be_v better_a herring_n then_o by_o their_o word_n they_o be_v save_v from_o blame_n and_o by_o their_o word_n they_o be_v damn_v say_v the_o wise_a judge_n wherefore_o i_o take_v you_o of_o your_o word_n and_o i_o say_v that_o we_o seek_v no_o noilitie_n from_o brute_n we_o count_v not_o of_o our_o forefather_n nobleness_n but_o of_o our_o own_o nobility_n i_o can_v tell_v you_o go_v not_o by_o birth_n and_o riches_n in_o brutany_n but_o by_o virtue_n it_o stand_v not_o upon_o antiquity_n but_o upon_o right_n we_o ever_o say_v that_o nobleness_n be_v a_o superiority_n or_o dominion_n in_o virtuous_a act_n and_o that_o other_o thing_n without_o virtue_n be_v but_o minority_n and_o subjection_n and_o colour_n and_o naught_o worth_a we_o can_v think_v that_o brute_n be_v ●atricide_v let_v they_o that_o judge_v he_o so_o prove_v he_o so_o i_o pass_v not_o for_o that_o he_o have_v do_v aforetime_o in_o other_o land_n but_o i_o only_o respect_v his_o action_n in_o this_o island_n yet_o if_o he_o be_v in_o that_o huge_a and_o main_a fault_n he_o may_v well_o enter_v into_o sanctuary_n till_o you_o and_o you_o have_v prove_v the_o deed_n voluntary_a mishap_n be_v not_o rashness_n chance_n be_v not_o counsel_n there_o be_v a_o folly_n in_o meet_v a_o arrow_n there_o be_v no_o sin_n in_o shoot_v it_o at_o a_o beast_n in_o the_o forest_n we_o compare_v not_o brutus_n with_o romulus_n no_o more_o than_o we_o compare_v your_o chronicle_n now_o with_o this_o that_o shall_v write_v one_o 200._o or_o 300._o year_n hereafter_o but_o this_o be_v your_o flourish_n to_o no_o other_o purpose_n then_o to_o show_v read_v where_o it_o do_v no_o good_a and_o may_v do_v some_o little_a hurt_n to_o a_o young_a reader_n who_o by_o your_o word_n will_v go_v nigh_o to_o say_v that_o brute_n and_o romulus_n be_v much_o of_o a_o time_n because_o you_o set_v they_o together_o in_o a_o chronicle_n which_o shall_v report_v that_o be_v past_a or_o record_v that_o be_v present_a only_a we_o be_v not_o briton_n we_o be_v brutan_n we_o account_v not_o brute_n our_o author_n &_o founder_n see_v here_o dwell_v as_o noble_a man_n afore_o brute_n as_o ever_o since_o that_o time_n no_o good_a country_n or_o bad_a have_v be_v without_o noble_a man_n from_o the_o beginning_n and_o to_o let_v go_v all_o history_n i_o dare_v say_v this_o word_n that_o nature_n have_v make_v as_o ancient_a a_o generation_n of_o man_n upon_o the_o earth_n as_o of_o other_o creature_n and_o of_o chief_a man_n in_o their_o company_n at_o first_o aswell_o as_o of_o other_o chief_a creature_n in_o their_o kind_n and_o their_o herd_n at_o first_o yea_o and_o much_o rather_o of_o man_n because_o of_o more_o government_n and_o order_n we_o speak_v not_o of_o brutus_n wealth_n and_o language_n before_o he_o come_v hither_o neither_o can_v you_o prove_v that_o he_o have_v not_o wealth_n enough_o to_o serve_v his_o use_n or_o tongue_n enough_o in_o every_o place_n of_o his_o travel_n can_v a_o eagle_n fly_v from_o place_n to_o place_n and_o take_v here_o a_o lamb_n there_o a_o kid_n here_o a_o goose_n there_o a_o swan_n unless_o he_o can_v speak_v the_o language_n of_o lamb_n and_o kid_n and_o goose_n and_o swan_n what_o traffic_n shall_v a_o venturer_n have_v with_o any_o people_n when_o he_o have_v set_v all_o the_o earth_n or_o one_o part_n thereof_o before_o he_o to_o make_v himself_o king_n in_o some_o place_n or_o other_o he_o will_v not_o ask_v what_o price_n bear_v your_o

therefore_o possible_o get_v into_o it_o how_o know_v you_o whether_o his_o nativity_n or_o his_o good_a hap_n or_o his_o manner_n of_o enter_v be_v not_o better_o or_o happy_a than_o caesar_n if_o
