so many and so diuers that the triumphe commonlie continued full three daies to the intente that all these thinges might orderly be doen. In euery triumphe were many straunge inuentions as showes and pageantes with others the semblable long here to remember Nether was it lawfull vnto all capitaines ne yet for all victories what so euer to triumphe but certaine notable lawes and customes were established for which onely and for none other the triumphe was graunted The capitaine that demaunded that honour entered not at the firste in to Rome but the Senate woulde sende hym an aunswere thereof vnto Vatican to wéete whether they woulde licence hym to triumphe or not Firste no general or other capitaine of what condition so euer he were mighte at any tyme triumphe were he not a Consul Proconsul or Dictator for the triumphe was neuer graunted to man of meaner condition by meanes wherof it was denied to M. Mercellus that most victoriouslie conquired and subdued Siracusa as also to Scipio that ouerranne all Spain Againe to the obtainyng of this fore saide honor it was also requisite that the battaile fought with the ennimy should be greate and daungerous and that there should be slaine therin a boue fiue thousande Of these thinges writeth Valerius Maximus It is also written that Cato and L. Marius tribunes ordained a lawe to dooe sharpe and seueare animaduertion on all Capitaines that should make false report of the number slaine Neither was it sufficient to winde the battaile were it neuer so blooddy and dangerous but he also must make tributory and subiect the whole prouince leauyng it quiet and in peace to his successor bringing also home with hym his army victorious For which cause as Liuie recordeth the triumphe was denied to Titus Manlius though in truthe he hadde obtained greate victories in Spaine for that after him thei were forced to ouerrunne the countrie againe to wage newe battaile to kepe by force and defende that whiche before was gotten For this cause also Quintus Fabius the greate triumphed not though in deede he once had subdued all Cāpagna as also recordeth Valerius Maximus It also was the maner that he that triumphed should inuite to hym that might the Consuls to supper which they vtterly suche was the maner refused for that at that feaste was at no time anie to whom greater honour was doen then to the triumpher These triumphes were euer ended in the temple of Iupiter with in the Capitoll where he offered vp the whole spoile whiche he had taken from the ennimie where also for greater solemnization publicke assemble was then made And to the intente that this Capitaine shoulde not glory to muche of this honour doen to hym it is reported that a bonde man should that day be placed by hym to whom it was permitted to skoffe and deride hym in suche sorte and manner as it beste should like hym where of sundry examples are found in olde histories But to make more plaine this kinde of triumphe if it be possible we wil remember some but first of al that of Paulus Aemilius a capitaine Romaine moste famous and valiaunte to whom for that he had subdued and taken Persius king of Macedonie vtterly spoilyng and wastyng his countrie the triumphe was graunted by common suffrage of all men who as Plutarche reciteth triumphed in this maner First of all the inhabitantes of Rome as well as of other places nigh adiacente were that daie seen in their most sumptuous and riche attire euery of them indeuouring to place himself in some tootyng hole or windowe the better and with more ease to beholde this spectacle All the temples in Rome were on euery side open hangde and apparelied with moste costly furniture with grene boughes perfumes of no smal value the streates also were like gaie and glorious And for that the multitude of people in the citie was then infinite as well of straungers as also of others a number of sticklers was appoincted to make through the streates easie waie and passage and for that the diuersitie of shewes were suche and so many necessitie constrained them to parte them into three daies the first hardly sufficed in good order to bryng in the banners standardes and ensignes of the conquered the Colossi Images and tables of price whiche all were brought in on cartes verie curiously depainted and trimmed On the second daie came in the armour of the kyng conquered as also of all th' other Macedomens whiche as thei were riche bright and glitteryng so were thei with moste cunnyng to the she we ordered and couched on cartes After these cartes entered three thousande men in order bearyng nothyng but money open and to bee seen and that in houge chargers and vesselles of siluer waighyng euery one three talentes at the leaste of whiche were three hundred and fiftie in noumber fower menne lotted to euery vessell The others the residue I meane of this three thousand brought in cundites streming most artificially wrought with other plate all siluer no lesse faire then massie and in passyng of these companies in iuste and semely order thei ended the second daie in most pompous solemnitie The thirde daie euen in the breake or spryng thereof with the firste band entered a ioyous signe of conquest infinite flutes drommes trumpettes with others suche like Martiall and warlike instrumentes soundyng all togither not delicately or swetely but in moste terrible and cruell maner that was possible in suche sort as thei presently should ioigne in battaile and after them came an hundreth and twentie Kine all white hauyng their hornes curiously gilted their bodies couered with certain riche vailes whiche thei accompted as sacred or holie bearyng also garlandes of flowers on their heddes driuen by certaine yonge boies no lesse well fauoured then curiously attired to the place where thei should bee to their goddes Sacrificed after whom also came other children againe charged with greate platers of gold and siluer for the Sacrifice After these came others againe seuentie and seuen whiche in vesselles of golde carried all the gold that thei had gathered in coigne after whom came then thei that carried the greate gobblet poisyng fully tenne talentes of gold whiche Paulus Aemilius had dooen to be made sette also and inrichte with stones of rare price and thei that bare these vessels of golde were suche as were nighest and beste beloued of these kinges to wete of Antigonus Seleucus and other kynges of Macedonie and especially of Persius the honourableste of them After this followed the couche of the kynge conquered with his owne proper armour laied a parte to be seen his diademe or croune with his scepter roiall laied in semely order to the vewe vpon his armour After his coache came prisoners on foote the little infauntes his owne naturall children and followyng theim a greate troope of his seruauntes and officers as maisters of the houshold secretaries vshers comptrollers chamberlaines with others suche of his courte or familie all weepyng

is this desire of his in vaine but rather accordeth perfectly with nature but not to attaine to the effecte or ende thereof is to manne an accident and therefore lesse naturall For God created man firste to liue immortall in suche sorte that accordyng to the opion of moste diuines he neuer should haue died or tasted of any miserie had he or kepte or obserued the cōmaundementes geuen him but hauing transgrest theim he streight became subiecte to the stormie tempestes of this world and finally to death and this by disobedience man here hath purchaste anguishe the graue and corruption So as the Apostle saieth by the sinne of disobedience death first crepte in and entered into this worlde Hence nowe it then is euident that death was neither naturall in our first father Adam ne after him in vs but casuall and accidentall as nothyng at all lesse mente vs by the diuine prouidence Now then this doubte maie also this be resolued that the desire neuer to die or to endure annoie is lent vs from nature and that not in vain for that it some tymes was in vs if manne then had not sinned assuredly to haue attained the effecte so much desired but beyng as we are rebellious and obstinate this desire still remaineth but so to be is denied vs The seconde doubte also by this meanes may be resolued for that through glotteny and venerie we hasten our fall and ruine In semblable sorte the thirde also by the sinne of Adam by meanes where of he fell from that originall iustice or state of grace whiche God before to hym had freely geuen and graunted seruyng hym to moderate his life and each his actions Whence immediatly began to followe this disordre for reason that should rule and order thinges aright lieth subiecte vnto the will and to euery the senses so that it appeareth plainly that thys peruerse order is in no respecte naturall but as is saide of fortune and altogether casuall By which meanes we here conclude that thinges of greatest excellencie and of assured perfection should and ought to gouerneth others of base condition and this neuer misseth or faileth at any tyme as is more then plaine in euerie the bodies immixte and celestiall but although in manne experience shewe the contrarie that issueth of fortune who by hys fall hath merited not that but greater punishment and not at all from nature What ceremonies the Romaines vsed before they denounced warre to any prince or countrie Chap. 5. WHo so hath readde of the holy ceremonies and religious obseruations practised cōtinually by the aunciente Romaines as wel in matters concerning peace as in those also of warre maie nothing at all mearuaile of all theirs so many and so famous victories against suche migtie Princes suche warlike and bluddie nations nor on the other side might thinke it or straūge or els impossible to sée the fatall ruine of this greate and stately empire which first of all beganne when contemptuously thei first disdained these solemnities For as we see by examples of infinite histories by how muche the more deuoutly they obserued the ●boue saide vsages so muche the more grewe this Romaine state and empire their capitaines also happy and renoumed and dreadde throughout the world as is and maie be seen in Pompe and in Brennus with others more knowen and more then I canne remember whiche though they were in deede idolaters voide of al knowledge or perfecte feling of God yet of parte it appeareth that God still was propitious to the fautors of religiō which percase might be to this and none other ende that as this people was ialous of this religion of which thei yet had no perfect nor none other assured grounde so by more sure reason they gladly should haue bene Patrones and Protectors of the true and Christian faith if it had been to theim as to vs it is reuealed By the effecte it then is euident that long tyme he kepte and preserued theim in prosperitie with fortunate successe in their affaires tēporall The ceremonies then which the Romaines vsed in time of peace are many and diuers whiche I leaue to speake of for that if I should all penne theim I should wery greue percase the reader to speake therof to little were iniurious in my phantasie Wherfore I shall in this place remember fiue onely whiche they orderly obserued before thei proclaimed warre against any prince or countrie to the intent that Princes of our tyme may see how muche they erre rashlie to denoūce warre and hostilitie not crauing firste Gods assistaunce his aide and his succour and farther that thei also maie knowe that hēce onely on them befalleth commonly suche euill aduerse and finister fortune and finally how farre in pointes of religion thei in truthe be inferiour to these Ethnikes and Idolaters Now then when newes came to Rome of any rebellion or that any prince barbarous had inuaded their territories or that any other had doen iniurie to their confederates thei immediatly sente foorthe their ambassadours vnto hym by whiche the Senate by faire meanes aduised hym to make restitution of the domage and wronge committed and farther that he euer afterwarde refrained from suche incursions whiche aduise if he estemed not then did thei warre to bée proclaimed immediately The Senate then hauyng chosen some capitaine for this iourney did all their Sacrificatours incontinently to be called whiche receiued in commaundement to praie vnto their Goddes for the happie successe and good fortune of their people For the Romaines went neuer forthe to spill the blood of their enemies before their priestes had bitterly wepte and praied in their Temples After this the Senate beyng assembled all togither wente in good order to the Churche of Iupiter where solemnely thei swore al or plighted this faith that when so euer yet the enemie againste whom warre by theim was then denounced would desire a truse or peace againe with thē or otherwise would craue pardō of his defaute that mercie should not in any case be denied hym This dooen the newe Consull chosen for this expedition hastneth thēce againe forthwith vnto the Capitoll where he voweth to hym of the Gods in whom he reposeth or moste hope or confidence that he will offer if he retourne victorious the beste thyng that he hath of what price so euer And although the thyng offered were of neuer so greate value yet were the people bound to repais it hym againe After this an Ensigne hauing in it an Egle whiche was the true and auncient armes of the Romaines was brought out into the filde of Mars whiche thei onely did to this ende or purpose that the people might knowe that it was then lesse lawfull to vse any plaies or other pleasant spectacles whilste that their frendes and kinsmenne were then in filde and in armes and in fine the Pretor beyng mounted on high on one of their gates sounded a Trumpette to call together their Souldiars deliueryng with the same certeine Ensignes
