When he had put the matter out of Hazard he carefully procured a second Edition both of all the Acts and likewise of that Genealogie which without adding or taking away so much as a fyllable he reduced into an evident Scheme or Table From which it soon appeared that Wernerus Erle of Habsburg who died in the year 1096. had a Daughter named ITA de Tierstein or Homberg that is in the Language of the Genealogist who was married to Rudolphus of Tierstein or Homberg who bare Wernerus the Father of Albertus the Grandfather of Rudolphus the great Grandsire of another Albertus and the great Great-Grand-sire of another Rudolphus who was the first Emperor of that name and of the House of Austria And truly the sleight is wonderfull whereby both Franciscus Guillimanuus and Piespordius himself do in such manner dissemble that Wernerus was the Son of ITA as if he had been not Ita's but her Brothers Son of whose progeny neverthelesse there is no mention any where made as neither of Adelbert another Brother from whom the Habsburgian Succession did passe over to the family of Tierstein or Homberg But they were not ashamed to go contrary to the manifest truth of story and so to confound things that Guillimannus made Ita the Sister of Otto his Niece and Piespordius his Sister Wife Daughter in Law and Niece by the Sisters side from Wernerus of Tierstein And thus Peireskius rejoyced that he brake the neck of the designe of these flattering Genealogists and so much the more because Guillimannus said he gave great credit to those Acts of Muren aforesaid and Gaspar Scioppius two years after chose this same Guillimannus as his Author whom he would follow in that part of the Genealogie of the House of Autria I do not well remember whether it were for this or some other cause that he visited the Records of the Chapter at Rhemes the Canons being commanded by an order from the King to let him view all their Acts and Records and to shew him two peciall Instruments containing things of great moment I remember very well he was accounted most knowing in the French Histories of greatest Antiquity and that he gave a proof of his skill which I have heard both from himself and others For whereas in the moneth of March there happened a memorable fire in the Kings Court to the sight whereof he ran at midnight in the company of Jacobus Gillotus a most excellent Senatour he carried thither afterwards all the learned men well nigh in the City to contemplate the statues of the Kings the stumps whereof onely remained the rest being turned into ashes And when no body could tell whose statue that was which stood with a mangled face even before the fire happened he because of one place supernumerary argued that it was the statue of King Henry of England which Charles the seventh did onely mangle and not remove as unwilling that his own Statue should stand in the place of the Usurpers Nor was he content to undertake onely that particular labour against Piespordius and others but out of his love to the Kings Majesty and the glory of the French Nation he began from that time forwards to think of an Edition of all Authours especially those of that age who had written the Antiquities and History of France And because he knew that in divers Churches Monasteries and private Libraries many Books of that Argument were kept up unprinted he took care to search them out and because he himself was not then at leisure he acquainted Andreas Duchesnius a most diligent Historiographer with his designe who was at that time set upon the same undertaking He was then preparing an Edition of the Historians of Normandy wherefore Peireskius to testifie his sagacity and industry he sought and obtained of Sir Robert Cotton of England both a namelesse writer of the Acts of Emma Queen of England and likewise Wilhelmus Pictavinus whom he soon after annexed to his History and testified that by the mediation of Cambden They were sent to the Illustrious those are his words Nicolaus Fabricius de Petrisco Senatour in the Parliament at Aix one that is an advancer of learning and my most dearly beloved friend And because Fronto Ducaeus was at that time setting out a Greek Manuscript written with great letters containing a great part of the Bible and of so great antiquity that it was said to have been corrected by Origens own hand who averreo that it had been compared with the most ancient Tetraplus therefore Peireskius well remembering that the foresaid Cotton had a most precious Greek Manuscript written in the dayes of Theodosius in great letters likewise which cost King James a thousand Crowns therefore I say that this Edition might be more compleat he wrote and sent into England and passing his word and giving securitie that the Book should be forth coming he obtained the same and let Fronto Ducaeus have the use of it Moreover in Autumn the same year he was nominated by the King Abbot of Sancta Mariae Aquistriensis And the businesse which he had in that respect to transact at Rome was freely performed by divers Cardinals as Cobellutius Ursinius and he that was afterward Marquemontius but by none more carefully than by Maffaeus Barberinus who was afterward created and is yet living Pope For from that time forward they became acquainted and their acquaintance was strenghthened by letters frequently sent to and fro The occasion of their first acquaintance was a very elegant Ode composed by the Cardinall upon Mary Magdalex the beginning whereof was Innixa pennis versicoloribus For Peireskius having received a copy thereof from Aleander and being wonderfully delighted with it and all the learned men to whom he shewed it applauding the same he got leave by mediation of the said Aleander that it might be yet further published by printing The copies being all vended he was pleased to print the Poem again but in a larger form that it might be hung up at Sancta Balma a Rock and Hermitage famous for the penance of Saint Maudlen and other Churches and Chappels of Provence Yea and he thought good to print it the third time after he had won the said Cardinall to frame an Ode in favour of Saint Lewis King of France the beginning whereof is Objectu gemini maris and after he had made some other Odes that he could get by the stealth as it were of Aleander About the end of this year there appeared a famous Comet to the observation whereof he exhorted all the industrious men he was acquainted with Himself being destitute of fitting Instruments and not daring to trust himself in the air because of his sicklinesse made no other observation save that by the Perspective-Glasse he discerned the form of its head and hov it differed from the tail which he compared to the Sun-beams shining through a window But he was glad when he heard afterwards that such as dwelt not in
