Adrian the third being Pope the Emperors of Germany who formerly elected to the Popedom lost their Prerogative In the year 998. in Pope Gregory the fifth's time it was agreed that the Emperors of Germany should be elected by three Bishops viz. Mentz Tryers and Cullein and by three Princes viz. The County Palatine of the Rhine the Duke of Saxony and the Marquess of Brandenburgh and in case the said six cannot agree then the King of Bohemia to have an umpiering Voice The reason why we pray Eastward is because Paradise was there planted from whence we were cast out which is the reason also that we build our Churches East and West yet the Jews had their Priests that in their Sacrifices alwayes turned their faces towards the West Education is another Nature altering the Mind and Wit The beginning midst and end of man's life lyeth onely in vertuous and honest Education which is the very means that is opperative and powerful for the attaining of Vertue and true Happiness There is none in the World so wickedly inclined but a religious Instruction and Education may fashion a-new and reform them nor any so well disposed the Reins being let loose whom the continual fellowship and familiarity and the examples of dissolute men may not corrupt and deform No Element but through mixture hath seperated from its first simplicity When the Ancients contended against each other to perswade people to this or that action Eloquence had then her original Fame with Posterity is the fairest reward of Eloquence Commonly the enmities of nearest Kinsfolks if once they fall out are most despiteful and deadly The difference between Enmity and Emulation is thus Enmity hunteth after destruction and onely rejoiceth in that which bringeth our Adversary to ●uine and utter destruction but Emulation which is a spur to Vertue contendeth only by well-deserving to gain the advantage of another mans Fame that useth the same means to attain the like ends and is alwayes mixed with love in regard of the affinity of their affections and the sympathy of their desires not suffering the overthrow of their Competitor but succouring him in time of danger and calamity that he may still continue to shew the greatness of his worth by the opposition of inferior actions which are as a lesser scantling of desert to measure the estimation of the other humor The causes of the Roman Empire were the Domestick Wars the immoderate greatness of the Princes of the Empire and the Dignity of the Emperor being Elective and not Hereditary It is the dissolution of an Empire if the Revenues be diminished by which it is maintained and if Customs be taken away the abolishing of Tribute wil be demanded In the second year of Henry the 4th the Emperor of Constantinople came into England to request aid against the Turk In the fifth year of Henry the eighth the Emperor of Germany Maximilian served under the Kings Banner and did take pay Boniface the third was the first that was called Pope and he obtained of Phocas the Emperor That the Roman Seat should be called the Head of all Churches At that time three remarkable things happened The decay of the Roman Empire The rising of the Popedom and The springing up of Mahometism Of the ruine of the Empire these two Beasts arose which have much harmed the Church and as the Empire hath decreased these have encreased All Philosophy teacheth us That man desires an end and that there is some end which every man tends to beyond which he cannot think or hope In the 7th year of Henry the fifth by a General Councel holden at Constance it was decreed That England should have the Title of the English Nation and to be taken and reputed one of the five Nations that obeyed the Roman See Common Enemies must first be opposed Domestick more at leisure That which open Enemies dare not attempt they work by false Brethren and are so much the more dangerous as they are more intire A man ought to be jealous of whatsoever an Enemy either by speech or action shall cast upon him however colourable the reasons may be which are alledged to induce him thereunto for it is improbable that an Enemy whose chiefest care is to weaken the Adversary and to bring him to ruine should advise him to any thing that should concern his good unless the profit which he himself shall thereby gather do far exceed that which the contrary part may expect When a man's enemy offereth him that which hath appearance of good let him refuse it God hath created nothing in this World either man or Beast without an Enemy to hold it in fear and humility He that would undertake great Enterprises had of Wisdom and Courage Wisdom to contrive and Courage to execute Wisdom to guide his Courage and Courage to second his Wisdom both which if they meet with a good cause it cannot but succeed Princes that desire to continue friendship ought not to meet and have interviews to avoid suspition but to hold correspondency by wise Councellors Envy hath this good in it that it afflicteth those extreamly that use it Envy proceeds from a base mind Glory follows good deserts Envy follows Glory The envious man feeds upon others evils and hath no other Disease but his Neighbours welfare It is the nature of man and a deeply rooted quality in us streightly to look
