Isaac Gruter wisheth much Health Reverend Sir and my most dear Friend HOw much I hold my self honour'd by your Present of the Lord Bacon's Posthumous Works published lately by you in Latine my thanks immediately return'd had let you understand if ill Fortune in the Passage which is for divers causes uncertain had not deluded the care of a Friend who did here with much readiness undertake the Conveyance of them Now the Gift is by so much the greater by how much the more benefit I reap'd by diligent reading of those Papers and by comparing them with some of the Lord Bacon's Works which I my self had formerly published For to you we owe the more enlarged History de Denso Raro as also many other things contain'd in that Volume which saw not the Light before One Paper I wonder I saw not amongst them the Epistle of the Lord Bacon to Sir Henry Savil about the Helps of the Intellectual Powers spoken of long ago in your Letters under that or some such Title if my Memory does not deceive me If it was not forgotten and remains among your private Papers I should be glad to see a Copy of it in the use of which my Faithfulness shall not be wanting But perhaps it is written in the English Tongue and is a part of that greater Volume which contains only his English Works If you will please to let me understand so much and likewise give me assurance of obtaining that Book in which the Speeches and it may be the Letters of the Lord Bacon written by him in English are digested you will render your Memory sacred in my Mind in the veneration of which the chearfulness of a most devoted affection shall never be weary Farewel From Maestricht from whence after two or three Months I remove to Nimmeghen nigher to Holland But you may convey to me any thing you desire by Mr. Smith Iuly 1st New Style 1659. A brief Account of the Life and particularly of the Writings of the Lord Bacon written by that learned Antiquarie Sir William Dugdale Norroy King of Arms in the second Tome of his Book entituled The Baronage of England * Pag. 437. 438 439. together with divers Insertions by the Publisher Francis Lord Verulam Vicount St. Alban 16 Iac.

Lond. an 1670. of his Life is already set forth by Doctor William Rawley his domestique Chaplain I am not willing to omit the taking notice of such particulars as are most memorable of him and therefore shall briefly recount partly from that Narrative and partly from other Authorities what I have observed in order thereto As to his Parentage he was b Ibid. the youngest of those two Male Children which Sir Nicholas Bacon of Redgrave in Com.

Accurate and Judicious performed by Doctor Rawley r Publ. in Resusc. p. 181 c. who was pleased to take that Labour upon him because he understood the value his Lordship put upon this Work for it was such that I find this Charge given concerning it in his last Will and Testament In particular I wish the Elogie which I writ in Felicem Memoriam Elizabethae may be published For the Occasion of it his Lordship telleth it thus in a Letter to Sir George Carey s Resusc p. 45. then in France to whom he sent it Because one must begin I thought to provoke your remembrance of me by a Letter And thinking to fit it with somewhat besides Salutations it came to my mind that this last Summer-Vacation by occasion of a factious Book that endeavour'd to verifie Misera Faemina the Addition of the Pope's Bull upon Queen Elizabeth I did write a few Lines in her Memorial which I thought you would be pleased to reade both for the Argument and because you were wont to bear affection to my Pen. Verum ut aliud ex alio If it came handsomely to pass I would be glad the President de * Thuanus Thou who hath written an History as you know of that Fame and Diligence saw it Chiefly because I know not whether it may not serve him for some use in his Story Wherein I would be glad he did right to the Truth and to the Memory of that Lady as I perceive by that he hath already written he is well inclined to do The Fourth is the Beginning of the History of Great Britain This was an Essay sent to King Iames whose Times it considered A Work worthy his Pen had he proceeded in it seeing as he t See Collect. of Letters in Resusc. p. 30. Letter to King James And p. 28 29 30. the Letter to the Lord Chancellor Egerton concerning this Subject saith he should have written of Times not only since he could remember but since he could observe and by way of Introduction of Times as he further noteth of strange Variety the Reign of a Child the offer of an Usurpation by the Lady Iane though it were but as a Diary Ague the Reign of a Lady married to a Forreigner and the Reign of a Lady solitary and unmarried His Lordship who had given such proof of his Skill in writing an History of England leaving the World to the unspeakable loss of the learned part of it his late Majesty a great favourer of that Work and wise in the choice of fit Workmen encourag'd Sir Henry Wotton to endeavour it by his Royal Invitation and a Pension of 500 l. per annum This Proposal was made to that Excellent Man in his declining Years and he died after the finishing some short Characters of some few Kings which Characters are publish'd in his Remains u Reliqu Wotton p. 100. But this new Undertaking diverted him from a Work in which he had made some considerable Progress the Life of Luther and in it the History of the Reformation as it was begun and carried on in Germany Of which Work the Papers they say are lost and in a Current of Time of no great depth sunk beyond all possible Recovery The Fifth is the Imago Civilis Iulii Caesaris The Sixt Imago Civilis Augusti Caesaris Both of them w Among the Opuscula p. 195. short personal Characters and not Histories of their Empire And written by his Lordship in that Tongue which in their Times was at its height and became the Language of the World A while since they were translated into English and inserted into the First Part of the Resuscitation x See Resusc. Edw. 3d. p. 214. In the Seventh Place I may reckon his Book De SapientiÃ¢ Veterum written by him in Latine y See his Letter to Mr. Matthews in Resusc. p. 38. and set forth a second time with Enlargement and translated into English by Sir Arthur Gorges z This Translation is lately added to the Essays in Octavo A Book in which the Sages of former Times are rendred more Wise than it may be they were by so dextrous an Interpreter of their Fables It is this Book which Mr. Sandys means in those words which he hath put before his Notes on the Metamorphosis of Ovid * Pag. 18. Of Modern Writers I have received the greatest Light from Geraldus Pontanus Ficinus Vives Comes Scaliger Sabinus Pierius and the Crown of the latter the Vicount of Saint Albans It is true the design of this Book was Instruction in Natural and Civil Matters either couched by the Ancients under those Fictions or rather made to seem to be so by his Lordship's Wit in the opening and applying of them But because the first ground of it is Poetical Story therefore let it have this place till a fitter be found for it For his Lordship 's Political Writings they are such as relate either to Ecclesiastical or Civil Polity His Writings which relate to Ecclesiastical Polity for he was not willing a See his Epistle to Bishop Andrews that all his Labours should go into the City and none into the Church are the three following The First is a Discourse b In Resusc. p. 233. it was published before without his Lordship's Name in Quarto 1640. bearing the Title of Certain Considerations touching the better Pacification and Edification of the Church of England and dedicated to King Iames. The Second c In Resusc. p. 162. is an Advertisement touching the Controversies of the Church of England The Third is a Dialogue touching an Holy War All written at first in English by his Lordship The First of these toucheth the Settlement of Doctrine The Second the Settlement of Discipline amongst the Christians in England The Third of Propagation of the Faith amongst Vnbelievers In all which it is plain that his Lordship dealt in the Affairs of the Church as he was wont to do in Civil Matters Suavibus Modis and in the Mean Accordingly he was wont to compare himself to the Miller of Granchester a Village by Cambridg Of him his Lordship telleth that he was wont to pray for Peace among the Willows For whilst the Winds blew the Wind-mills wrought and his Water-mill was less Custom'd d See Letter to Mr Matthew in Resusc. p. 36. His Lordship was for pacifying Disputes knowing that Controversies of Religion would hinder the Advancement of Sciences His Writings which relate to Civil Polity are very considerable and yet they fall much short of that which he had sometimes in design For he aimed at the complete Model of a Commonwealth though he hath left only some preparation towards it in his Doctrine of Enlarging the bounds of Empire and in a few Abhorisms concerning Vniversal Iustice e In Augm. Scient l. 8 c. 3. p. 668. to p. 690 c. He also made a Proposal to King Iames of a Digest of

in those Times in which himself advanced little either in Profit or Honour For he was hindred from growing at Court by a great Man who knew the slenderness of his Purse and also fear'd that if he grew he might prove Taller than himself d See his Lordship's Letter to Sir R. C. in Câ—ll of Letters in 1st part of Resusc. p. 87. and that in p. 110 111. The little Art used against him was the representing of him as a Speculator though it is plain no Man dealt better and with kinder ways in public Business than himself And it generally ripened under his Hands For the Papers written by others touching his Lordship and his Labours they are these The First is a Letter from the University of Oxford to his Lordship upon his sending to them his Book of Advancement of Learning in its second and much enlarged Edition It should seem by a Passage towards the end of this Letter that the Letter which his Lordship sent to them together with his Book was written like the first to the Vniversity of Cambridg in one of the spare leaves of it and contain'd some wholesome Admonitions in order to the pursuit of its Contents The Second is a Letter from Dr. Maynwaring to Dr. Rawley concering his Lordship's Confession of Faith This is that Dr. Maynwaring whose Sermon upon Eccles. 8. 2. c. gave such high Offence about One and Fifty Years ago For some Doctrines which he noteth in his Lordship's Confession the Reader ought to call to mind the times in which his Lordship wrote them and the distaste of that Court against the proceedings of Barnevelt whose State-faction blemish'd his Creed The rest are Letters of Dr. Rawley Mounsieur Deodate Isaac Gruter touching the Edition of his Lordship's Works An Account of his Lordship's Life and Writings by Sir William Dugdale together with some new Insertions Characters of his Lordship and his Philosophy by Dr. Heylin Dr. Sprat and Mr. Abraham Cowley All these Papers I have put under the Title of Baconiana in imitation of those who of late have publish'd some Remains of Learned Men and called them Thuana Scaligerana Perroniana These then are the particular Writings in which I have labour'd and in setting forth of which I have undertaken the lower Office of a Prefacer And I think it more desireable to write a mean Preface to a good Book than to be Author of a mean Book though graced with a Preface from some excellent Pen As it is more Honour with a plain White Staff to go before the King than being an unpolish'd Magistrate of a mean and antiquated Corporation to be usher'd forth with a Mace of Silver T.

The Lord Bacon's REMAINS Civil and Moral The Charge â€– Given May 24. 1616. by way of Evidence by Sir Francis Bacon his Majesties Attourney General before the Lord High Steward * The Lord Chancelor Egerton Lord Ellesmere and the Earl of Bridgwater and the Peers against Frances Countess of Somerset concerning the poysoning of Sir Thomas Overbury IT may please your Grace my Lord High Steward of England and you my Lords the Peers I am very glad to hear this unfortunate Lady doth take this Course to confess fully and freely and thereby to give Glory to God and to Justice It is as I may term it the Nobleness of an Offender to confess and therefore those meaner Persons upon whom Justice passed before confessed not she doth I know your Lordships cannot behold her without compassion Many things may move you her Youth her Person her Sex her noble Family yea her Provocations if I should enter into the Cause it self and Furies about her but chiefly her Penitency and Confession But Justice is the work of this Day the Mercy-Seat was in the inner part of the Temple the Throne is publick But since this Lady hath by her Confession prevented my Evidence and your Verdict and that this Day 's labour is eased there resteth in the Legal Proceeding but for me to pray that her Confession may be recorded and Judgment thereupon But because your Lordships the Peers are met and that this day and to morrow are the Days that crown all the former Justice and that in these great Cases it hath been ever the manner to respect Honour and Satisfaction as well as the ordinary Parts and Forms of Justice the Occasion it self admonisheth me to give your Lordships and the Hearers this Contentment as to make Declaration of the Proceedings of this excellent Work of the King's Justice from the beginning to the end It may please your Grace my Lord High Steward of England this is now the second time within the space of thirteen years Reign of our Happy Sovereign that this high Tribunal Seat ordained for the Trial of Peers hath been opened and erected and that with a rare event supplied and exercised by one and the same Person which is a great Honour unto you my Lord Steward In all this mean time the King hath reigned in his white Robe not sprinkled with any one Drop of the Blood of any of his Nobles of this Kingdom Nay such have been the Depths of his Mercy as even those Noble-Mens Bloods against whom the Proceeding was at Winchester Cobham and Grey were attainted and corrupted but not spilt or taken away but that they remained rather Spectacles of Iustice in their continual Imprisonment than Monuments of Iustice in the Memory of their Suffering It is true that the Objects of his Justice then and now were very differing for then it was the Revenge of an Offence against his own Person and Crown and upon Persons that were Male-Contents and Contraries to the State and Government but now it is the Revenge of the Blood and Death of a particular Subject and the Cry of a Prisoner it is upon Persons that were highly in his Favour whereby his Majesty to his great Honour hath shewed to the World as if it were written in a Sun-beam that he is truly the Lieutenant of him with whom there is no respect of Persons that his Affections Royal are above his Affections private that his Favours and Nearness about him are not like Popish Sanctuaries to privilege Malefactors and that his being the best Master in the World doth not let him from being the best King in the World His People on the other side may say to themselves I will lie down in Peace for God the King and the Law protect me against great and small It may be a Discipline also to great Men especially such as are swoln in their Fortunes from small beginnings that the King is as well able to level Mountains as to fill Vallies if such be their desert But to come to the present Case The great Frame of Justice my Lords in this present Action hath a Vault and hath a Stage A Vault wherein these Works of Darkness were contrived and a Stage with Steps by which it was brought to Light
