moniti Iustice by learned Politicians is diuided into Geometricall or distributiue and arithmeticall or correctiue Iustice and both of these doth this heauenly Embassador commend to mortall men especially the Inhabitants of these British Iles. And for the first doth tell them that Cyclopicall Anarchy is dangerous and no lesse is Anabaptisticall 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or equalitie And thankes be to God our Church and Common-weale are well rid of these saucie Mates But this Messenger of Heauen doth warne vs of another proud parity which beginnes to affront all degrees in sumptuous and presumptuous apparell with strange and inconstant fashions a disorder much reproued by God himselfe and withstood in well gouerned Common-weales The other is correctiue Iustice an indifferent and equall administration of right to all When the Lawes be not as Anacharsis said like Spiders webs which the great Hornets breake through but the silly flies are intangled when the Widow and fatherlesse are protected and the poore mans cause gratis pleaded where the scant measure so abhominable to God is made vp where there is no wicked balance which he will not iustifie nor secret bagges of deceitfull waights Wherefore my Countrimen doe iustly one with another and shew mercy so shall you bee more acceptable to God then if you offred a thousand Hecatombs or tenne thousand riuers of oyle Behold behold this celestiall Messenger from Heauen doth bring you an euen poysing balance equall waights receiue and vse them so shall it be the signe of good to you and yours ô excellent Iustice Te duce si qua manent sceler is vestigia nostri Irrita perpetuâ soluent formidine terr as Thee being Guide if sinfull steps appeare They now don out shall free the world frō feare Pauca tamen suberunt priscae vestigia fraudis It may be yet some little staine Of the old Deceit will still remaine O would it were no worse ô that wee were so purged of this deceitfull iniquitie then might wee with cheerefull eies behold this Embassador from Heauen and with ioyfull hearts receiue his message But least wee should without waighing their worth neglect these golden balances of right and equitie the Comet doth another way againe and againe inforce the necessitie of this excellent virtue of virtues 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Iustitia in sese virtutes continet omnes To Iustices most gracious Court All other virtues doe resort Which this Starre would blazen forth by displaying his golden lockes ouer the skirts of Virgo that iust Astraea which last of all the virtues forsooke the earth polluted with so many vices Vltima coelestûm terras Astraea reliquit Iustice last of all the Gods did flie From earth polluted with Impiety But this Sydereus nuncius doth as it were intreat her to returne with her flourishing spike and aduise vs to giue her content least as in former times our corrupt manners make her wearie of the earth From Libra the Comet posting ouer the aetheriall plaines camposque liquentes at length comes neere to Ariadnes crowne which hee taketh to him for a princely reward of Iustice reseruing the Virgins spike for the people O all preseruing Iustice fructificas solum firmas solium Thou fructifiest the ground and establishest the throne Blessed are they that doe iustice at all times saith the royall Psalmist 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The iust mans seede shall neuer perish but flourish like the Palme-tree With these rich presents the Comet enters the celestiall mansion of Arctophylax mightie guardian of the Northerne Beares where finding gracious welcome he makes a long residence It is Great Britaines royall Court which diuine Astraea doth illustrate with her gracious and healthfull rayes it is this fortunate Iland that is gouerned with her scales of iustice and enriched with her spike of plentie The worlds great Monarch hath crowned his Maiestie with the Imperiall Diademe of all the British Iles and by this his Embassador doth promise him a long and happie possession thereof and to his posteritie for euer As for his enemies he hath and will cloath them with shame but on him and his shall his crowne flourish in this life and an immortall crowne of glory in the heauens But I may not forget two associates of Iustice and with her sure protectors of this Crowne and Spike which this celestiall Legate doth together with them present the one a iewell of inestimable value 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a sharpe piercing eye of vigilancy and circumspection wherewith the subtill serpent did congratulate his passage by the other an inchanted Achillean speare in the hand of Arctophylax to defend our Arcticke Beares and offend all barking currs and sauage wolues as the Serpents eye will watch the craftie foxes Serpents both in sacred and humane writings are the symboles or types of wisdome and prudent vigilancie Yea without this Serpents eie strength is but an one-eyd Polyphemus mole suâ ruens destroying himselfe with his owne corpulencie Neuer was there more need of circumspection then in this faeculent and tartareous age wherein many are so farre from Numa's erecting a Temple to Fidelitie that they come neerer to these perfidious Spartans 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Who haue neither altar faith nor oath Or if they haue any religion at all the chiefe articles there of be equiuocation fraud periurie treacherie assasinations and murders against whom there is no other but that Epicharmian prouision 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Be watchfull and remember to suspect These be the armes which wisdomes selfe protect And in sooth had not our wise and learned Salomon with this Serpents eye searched into the secret vaults and darke cauernes of that hellish gunpowder-treason de Britannia actum esset there had been a sudden vnexpected end of Great Britaines glory With these winding Serpents the ancient Sages coupled Lions the symbole of magnanimitie neither may they be separate but conioyned doe compleat a royall guardian and protector Which is excellently typed forth by those who first reduced the starres into symbolicall constellations placing Virgo in the midst of Libra and Leo. I will not follow the allegorie in Great Britaines royall Lions hauing done it elsewhere but applie the present embleme traced in this Comets motion which with the Serpents eye ioyneth a defensiue and offensiue weapon in the hand of Arctophylax Let none here expect from me an Alarme no my panegyricall part of Great Britaines Monarchie will shew our singular and vnparallelled happinesse in this gracious peace 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 said the high-soaring Poet Inexpert thoughts are vaine and light Dulce bellum inexpertis was the royall motto of Englands greatest warriour and France's terror Edward the third It is an ill peace which I would not preferre before the most glorious warre and with Martian the Emperour Dum liceat in pace
