signifie the most high God containing seven Angels which governed the seven Heavens as also their 365 Virtues equall in number to the dayes of the yeer and this by reason of the seven letters and their value in numeration adding together the numbers according to the place of each letter in the Alphabet and such like considerations which he likewise afterward explaned in certain Letters to Natalitius Benedictus But Bellarmin hearing the same things with other matters touching heresies and all ancient history was at a stand which he should commend most whether his sagacity in searching out his sharpnesse in conjecturing his judgement in choosing his memory in relating or his pleasant and delightfull manner of expressing himself But he was justly enamoured with his meek and gentle manners for to omit other instances when he preached in a familiar way to instruct his Parishioners he had him for his Auditour sitting for the most part in the middest of the common people The next to be mentioned is Jacobus Sirmondus a Jesuite even at that time of great repute for with him he contracted a most intimate frendship with whom he did communicate all his studies The next is Laelius Pasohalinus who had a most goodly Closet of Rarities and who so admired his Learning and loved his Disposition so that he had it once in his mind and was resolved to give him what ever he had that was rare to carry away with him After him comes that same most renowned Fulvins Ursinus a name of all others most known and framed among the Lovers of Antiquities who by reason of certain Interpretations which Pincllus had wrote unto him had a burning desire to be acquainted with Peireskius The next is Philippus Pigafetta to whom whereas Pinellus had not at first written t is wonderfull with what Commendations he did expiate that forgetfulnesse After him comes the self same Ghibertus with whom he been already acquainted at Avenion who went abroad with him and shewed him divers things The next was Paulus Gauldus a Learned Gentleman of Virentia who also led him to many places and having wondered at him when he saw him in the House Pinellus he was now astonished at him in Rome Also Petrus Stephanonus Dionysius Octavius Sada must be remembered and generally all the Learned men which were in the City with all the Lovers of good Arts and Letters But we must not forget Arnaldus Cardinalis Ossatus at that time the Kings Argent at Rome a man singularly remarkable for Learning Prudence Integrity and sweetnesse of manners who could scarse ever be fatisfied with the Company of Peireskius and when he came to visit him he could never dismisse him without Regret Nor must we forget Abbas Moutanus Uncle to the Archbishops of Arles who moved more by the Commendation of the Virtues of Peireskius then that of his Nephew the Archbishop would have him to be in a manner his perpetuall Guest It is hard now to express with what eagernesse of minde he sought out diligently all the monuments of Antiquity For in the First place he desired to know the situation of Rome and the Grounds which it had contanied When he saw the tops of the mountaines so low which he had imagined so high he wondered at it He was amazed among the rest to see the Hill Palatinus so quite desolate which was anciently as populous as any He enquired if by any meanes he might come to know the utmost bounds of the Pomaerium both in the times of the Kings and under the Emperors and as he diligently marked all the gates and waies so did he most diligently examine the Aurelian because of the reliques thereof which are yet to be seen in Provence Then passing through the Quarters and Streets he would fain know as much as might be where stood the Temples of the Ancients their Chappels Altars Groves Sepulchers Sanctuaries Schooles Libraries Amphitheaters Theaters Wrastling-places Horse-race-places Places to represent Seafights Fields Musick-Rooms Markets Faires Granaries Armories Baths Hotbaths Waters Bridges Colossuses Spires Columns Statues and a thousand other things which in his reading of Authors he had observed and noted into Books which he carried about with him And he could hardly be satisfied with beholding when he found any ancient piece remaining whether it were whole or mangled In this manner he spent many daies about the Pantheon a rare peice of Architecture in considering the same conferring therewith all that Ludovicus Demontisius had reasoned touching the same Also because he knew there were kept in the Vatican a statue of Hercules and Laocoon with his two Sons most exquisite pieces and esteemed by Michael Angelus for wonders of Art therefore he went more then once to view them Also he went divers times to see the two statues of Alxander and Bucephalus which are yet extant as monuments of the famous Carver Phidias and Praxiteles So he went divers times to see the Sepulcher of C. Sestius Epulo in the way which is termed Ostiensis because of the most ancient and noble Reliques thereof yet abiding So he divers times viewed sundry Obelisques or Spires but none oftener then that of Constantine for the digging up Transportation and erection thereof he could not sufficiently praise the generous designe of Pope Sixtus the fift So also the pillars but especially one of Traian and another of Antoninus The former that he might satissie Pinellus who was not contented with an whole volumne thereof that is of the Historie of the two Dacian Wars waged by Traianus according as Alphonsus Ciaconus had gathered it out of the Columne written and therefore he desired Peireskius both to get him a more perfect Coppy of that Book and that he would compare those pictures of Persons Armes and Gestures which were in the Book with what was to be seen upon the Columne it self The latter that is the the Columne of Antoninus that he might cause the Picture of Jupiter raining gently upon the Army of the Romans and throwing thunderbolts upon the Head of their Enemies to be diligently drawn therefrom And indeed when afterwards he presented a draught thereof to Scaliger to illustrate what Eusebius had written of a War between Antoninus and the Germans and Hungarians in the first year of the 138. Olympiade This said he is one of the most notable things and best worthy to be seen among all the Monuments of Antiquitie which it was my good hap to see at Rome Nor was he only desirous to have the pictures of these things but also of all other rare Statues which he sought out in the Capitoll in the Vatican in the Farnesian and Caesian Houses also in the Gardens and Vineyards and to be brief in all private and publick places taking painters with him for to draw not only Statues and other works which were entire but also broken Statues and the Ruines of ancient Buildings where ever he met with any Also he was wont to carry along with him certain choise Coines

field a scarlet label for distinction sake It is recorded that he also was Governour of Ere 's and of intimate acquaintance with Charles the Third to whom the King of France did soon succeed From him the familie was again divided into two Branches for he had two Sons Fulke and William both of them expert Souldiers and skillfull in the Lawes For having borne Armes in the Expedition of Pidmont after their return they gave themselves wholly to the study of the Laws For William the younger being adopted by his great Uncle Elziarius Portanerius Brinoniensis a learned Man he went to Orleance and Vierron to study the Laws and having married a wife who was an Arvernian he setled his abode in that Country to expresse his gratitude he took unto himself the Coat of Armes of the House of Portaneria which was a Bende with Roses argent in a field Azure And he left behind him besides Hugh a famous Lawyer another Son named John the father of another John who begat another John the Father of that John who is now Master of Requests having two Honourable Ladies to his Sisters viz. the Lady Magdalena wife to the ilustrious Chancellor of France the Lady Mary wife to Philbertus Pompadorius Viceroy or Governour of the Limosins But Fulke after the Supreame Senate was erected at Aix in the beginning of the soregoing Age did plead causes with great commendation and was many times by the Governours of that Province taken in to sit with them as an Assistant and employed more then once to Lewis the twelfth and to Francis the first Who perceiving the Learning and Integritie of Fulke made him a Senator by his bare command in the year 32. And when the Emperour Charles was about to invade Provence he joyned him as Counsellour to Annaeus Monmorantius Generall of his Majesties Forces Also that good Advice is worthy to be recorded which he gave to Monmorancie which he also practised transporting the ancient Records of the Crown into the Castle of Baulcs by which meanes those precious Monuments escaped burning when as afterwards the Palace of Aix was fired by the Duke of Savoy his Souldiers Moreover when the City could not hold out against the Emperours forces he advised the Cittizens to withdraw themselves and that they might not leave any thing therein to relieve the Enemie he began in so good earnest to exhort them to destroy their food and what else might advantage the Enemie that he himself was the first that emptied his Granarie into a well and staved his vessels of Wine and Oyle and let them run about the Streets Fulke being dead his Son Nicolaus was made a Senator in the year 45. whos 's virtue also was taken notice of not only by Claudius Sabaudus Governour of Provence and Earle of Tenda but also by Charles the 9th himself Who taking away the Senate and setting in place thereof a Coutt of ten Chief-Justices it was his pleasure that Nicolaus should be one of the ten and he gave of his own accord to his Brother Charles after he had brought his forces off from the Expedition of Corsica and behaved himself there exceeding Valiantly the Lordship of Brigantium to him and his Heires And now that we may draw near to the Father of our Peireskius Nicolaus left two Sons Claudius and Reginaldus Claudius had a small and infirme body but a mind truly generous and mettlesome so that from the year 72. in which he was invested with the Honour and Dignity of his Father and Grandfather he was much renowned both in the Senate and the whole Province and exceeding favoured by Henricus Engolismensis great Master of the French Knights of Malta and Viceroy of Provence But Reginald being brought up from a boy with Renata Dutchess of Ferraria and Daughter of Lewis the twelfth when shee betook her self to passe over her old daies at Montargis he gave himself to study the Law and was made one of the Lords of the Subsidies and the Church's Patrimony and a Master of the accounts And when those troublesome times of the Henotick faction or league happened he and his Brother remained constant in their Loialtie to the King which Bernardus Nogaretius Valletanus at that time Viceroy counted a notable piece of service he procured by the power that he had the Castle of Ere 's and all that Coast to revolt from the Duke of Savoy And whereas his Brother lived a single life he himself married Margareta Bomparia who of her Fathers side was descended from Knights and Praesidents and on her Mothers side shee did belong to the families of Vallevoria and Forbinus Now we have heard it reported that shee was of so neat and comely a countenance and so composed that when Catharina Medicea the Queen Mother was visited at Aix by the Ladies of that place shee made choice of her alone among all the rest upon whom he would vouchsafe to bestow the honour of a Kisse And this Reginaldus Fabrius it was and this very Margarcta Bomparia whom our Peireskius of whom we treat did acknowledge for his Parents But because he was born at Beaugensier we must take notice that this Towne is seated in a very straight yet exceeding pleasant valley enriched by the Interfluxe of the same River Gapell It is distant from Tolon on this hand and from Ere 's on that just as far as those Cities are distant one from the other namely about three Province mi●es and being seated North of both it likewise far excells them in goodnesse of Aire The nearnesse of situation was the cause that his Ancestors having their abode at Ere 's did not only procure certaine Country houses in that Towne but in their retirement thither they dwelt in an ancient Castle which is now demolished for the House with those goodly Gardens joyning to it was not yet built into which that water might more safely and plentifully be derived from the adjacent River Claudius built a fair Aqnaeduct or Conduit Peireskius therefore was born in the Castle of Belgenser or Beaugensier aforesaid 1580. when his Parents did retire thither by reason of that memorable Pestilence which in the year 1580. began to rage all over Provence but especially at Aix He was born upon the first day of December in the year aforesaid near upon seven a-Clock in the Evening Which I therefore mention that I may not seeme negligent touching the Circumstance of time but not to give an occasion to Fortune-tellers to calculate his Nativitie and tell his destinie after his Death with more certainty then they were able to do during his life For it is wonderfull to consider how many lies the Astrologers have told either in respect of years which he never lived or of Wife and Children other things which he never had or touching many other things which he attained Moreover his Parents having lived together divers years without a Child his Mother for that cause as soon as she
