Histories For which cause The Diuine Philosopher found great fault with his countrymeÌ„ the Graecians because their Noblewomen were not instructed in matters of state policie Likewise Iustinian the Emperour was highly displeased with the Armenians For that most barbarously they prohibited women from enioying heritages and bearing rule as though quoth hee women were base and dishonoured and not created of God In the right of succession the sisters sonne is equall to the brothers sonne Whereby is vnderstood that women are licensed to gouerne aswell as men Moreouer there be two forcible reasons that conclude women to be most apt for Seignories First there is neither Iew nor Graecian there is neither bond nor free there is neither male nor female for they are all one in Christ Iesus The minds and actions of men and women do depeÌ„d of the soule in the which there is no distinction of sexe whereby the soule of a man should bee called male and the soule of a woman female The sexe rather is the instrument or meanes of generation and the soule ingendreth not a soule but is alway permanent and the very same Seeing therefore that a womans soule is perfect why should she be debarred by any statute or salique law from raigning The body is but lumpish and a vassall to the soule and for that respect not to be respected Secondly vertue excludeth none but receyueth all regarding neither substaunce nor sexe What should I rippe vp the examples of sundry nations which preferred women before themselues And for that cause they did neyther reiect their counsels nor set light by their answeres Semiramis after the death of her husband Ninus fearing lest the late conquered Aethiopians would reuolt and rebell from her Sonne yet young of yeeres and ignorant of rule tooke vpon her the principality and for the time of his nonage ordered the kingdome so princely that shee passed in feates of armes in triumphs conquests and wealth all her predecessours Nicocris defended her Empire against the Medes who then sought the Monarchy of the world and wrought such a miracle in the great riuer of Euphrates as all men were astonished at it for shee made it contrary to mens expectation to leaue the ancient course so to follow her deuice to and fro to serue the citie most commodiously insomuch that she did not onely surpasse all men in wit but ouercame the elements with power Isis after the decease of her husband Osyris raigned ouer Egypt and tooke care for so much prouision for the common wealth that shee was after her death worshipped as a Goddesse Debora iudged Israel Iudith the Bethulians Lauinia after the death of Eneas gouerned Italy Dido Carthage Olympias Pirrhus his daughter ruled ouer Epire Aranea was queen of Scythia Cleopatra of Egypt Helena after the death of Leo the Emperour raigned in Constantinople ouer all Asia as Empresse Ioanna was queene of Nauarre marying with Philip Pulcher the French king made him king of Nauarre in the yeere of our Lord 1243. Margaret ruled ouer Flaunders in the yeere of our Lord 1247.

Queene Mary raigned here in EnglaÌ„d in the yeere 1553. What should I write of Elizabeth our gratious Queene that now is which by her Diuine wisedome brought three admirable things to passe First her Maiesty reformed religion that by the Romish Antichrist was in her sisters time bespotted Secondly she maintayned her countrey in peace wheÌ„ all her neighbour Princes were in an vprore Thirdly she triumphed ouer all her foes both domesticall and hostile traiterous and outlandish If a man respect her learning it is miraculous for shee can discourse of matters of state with the best Philosopher she vnderstandeth sundry kinds of languages and aunswereth forreine Ambassadours in their forreine tongues If a man talke of the administration of iustice all the nations vnder the heauens cannot shew her peere In summe her Princely breast is the receiuer or rather the storehouse of all the vertues aswell morall as intellectuall For which causes England hath iust occasion to reioyce and to vaunt of such a gratious mother To whome the Monarch of Monarches long continue her highnesse and strengthen her as he hath done hitherto to his perpetuall glory confusion of all her enemies and to our euerlasting comfort Of Tyraunts Chap. 9. SIr Thomas Smith termeth him a Tyraunt that by force commeth to the Monarchy against the will of the people breaketh lawes already made at his pleasure and maketh other without the aduise and consent of the people and regardeth not the wealth of his commons but the aduauncemeÌ„t of himself his faction kindred Also there be two sorts of Tyrants The one in title the other in exercise He is in title Tyrant that without any lawfull title vsurpeth the gouernment In exercise he that hath good title to the principality and commeth in with the good will of the people but doth not rule wel and orderly as he should And so not onely they which behaue themselues wickedly towards their subiects are called Tyraunts as Edward the second of this realme in the yeere of our Lord 1319. and Alphonsus of Naples that lawfully came to the crowne in the yeere 1489. but also they are named tyrants which albeit they behaue themselues well yet they are to be called tyraunts in that they had no title to the principality as Sâ—eno the King of Denmark that vsurped this realme of England in the yeere 1017. and Pope Clement the eight that now is who about two yeeres ago seysed on the Dukedome of Ferraria onely by pretence of a gift which Constantine time out of mind bequeathed to the papacy Furthermore there be sixe tokens to know a tyrant The first if hee sends abroad pickthanks talebearers and espies to hearken what men speake of him as Tiberius the Emperour was woont to do The second if he abolisheth the study of learning and burneth the monuments of most worthy wittes in the market place and in the assembly of the people least his subiects should attaine to the knowlege of wisedome As Alaricus king of the Gothes did in Italy in the yeere 313. and the great Turke in his Empire The third if hee maintaine schismes diuisions and factions in his kingdome for feare that men should prie into his doings As the Popes haue done alway from time to time and of late daies the Queene mother in Fraunce The fourth if hee trust straungers more then his

Mary ouer to S. Quintaines The Protestants were persecuted and cruelly dealt withall in this Realme And Queene Mary before a tweluemoneth came about departed out of this life In the yeere 1572. was seene towards the North a straunge starre in bignesse surpassing Iupiter and seated aboue the moone At which time succeeded the bloudy massacre and persecution of the Protestants in Fraunce Many great personages ended their liues as King Charles the ninth of Fraunce Mathew Parker Archbishop of Canterbury and sundry other Pirats robbed and spoyled many of our marchants on the West seas The sect of the family of loue begaÌ„ to be discouered at London Sebastian the king of Portingal and Mule the king of Moroco were both slaine within lesse then sixe yeeres after In the yeere 1581. appeared a Comet bearding Eastward Whereupon a little while after certaine coÌ„panies of Italians Spaniards sent by the Pope to strengthen the Earle of Desmond in his rebellioÌ„ landed on the west coast of Ireland and there erected their Antichrists banner against her Maiesty Campian and other Seminary priests returned to this Realme and were attached In the yeere 1583. appeared another Comet the bush wherof streamed southeast But the effects thereof followed in the death of Edmund Grindal Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Earle of Sussex and in the apprehending of Arden Someruile and other traitours in Warwickshire Also within a while ensued a great dearth here in England In the yere 1596. appeared a Comet northward At which time HeÌ„ry Carew L. Hunsdon L. Chamberlaine of her Maiesties houshold and Sir Frauncis Knowles ended their liues Robert Earle of Essex and Charles L. high Admiral of England Generalles of the English fleet burned the Spanish nauy sacked the towne of Cales Moreouer there continued here in England a great dearth of corne with straunge inundations of waters Graue Maurice got a famous victory ouer the Spaniards in the low countreyes Alphonsus Duke of Ferraria departed out of this life The Pope and the Bastard of Ferraia had diuers bickerings about the Dukedome Finally before the yeere went about died Gunilla the Queene mother of Swethland and Gustaue Duke of Saxony her Nephew Likewise Iohn Marquesse of BraÌ„deburge one of the Electours Anne Queene of Polonia daughter to Charles Archduke of Austria being great with child ended their liues In the beginning of the yeere 1598. was seene a most fearfull Eclipse of the sunne in the seuenteenth degree of Piscis neere to the Dragons head the like whereof was seldome heard off at any time before for the sunne was darkened full eleuen poynts which very neere is the whole compasse of his body The effects of it are these following Sigismund Prince of Transyluania not finding his power sufficient to encounter the Turks voluntarily resigned his dominion to the Emperour Rodolph the second The King of Swethland returning into his Realme from Polonia had diuers conflicts and skirmishes with his subiects William Lord high Treasurer of England deceased And so did king Philip the second of Spaine albeit after a more strange maner For it is credibly enformed that this tyrant was eaten vp of lice and vermine A punishmeÌ„t no doubt befitting his vsurping life Rome was againe ouerflowne by the riuer Tiber whereby fifteene hundred houses perished and in a maner all the Popes treasure was lost Cardinall Albert sent Mendoza Admirall of Aragon with his rascalitie into the Low Countries where vpon his owne confederates of Cleueland he hath exercised many bloudy tragedies Theodore Duke of Muscouie ended his life There was a great deluge of waters in Hungarie The Turks had wonderfull bad lucke vpon the seas The vnited States of the low Countries sent a huge fleete into Spaine where they had verie good successe to the vtter vndoing of many a Spaniard What shall I write of the terrible rumours of warres which were noysed throughout all England this last summer Assuredly these enents were foreshewed vnto vs by the horrible Eclipse which appeared now aboue two two yeeres agoe Since which time I waited continually for some notable effect or other neither could my mind otherwise presage but that such things would come to passe which now GOD be thanked are ouerpast This after a sort I communicated at that time to master Ia. Pr. an auncient wise gentleman and a deare kinsman of mine at whose house I as then being lately come into my countrey after my fathers decease soiourned God grant vs better and happier successe in this new yeere Of the causes of sedition and ciuill broyles Chap. 54. THere be sixe causes of sedition The first and chiefest is the contempt of religion For if men loued God which they cannot doe except they loue their neighbour doubtlesse no such effects would follow from their actions The loue of religion breaketh swords into mattocks and speares into sithes and causeth that nation shall not lift vp sword against nation neither learne to fight any more The second cause of sedition is the factions of the subiects which euer haue beene and euer will bee the subuersion of estates The third cause is riotous prosperitie for ouer-great aboundance of wealth is the prouocation of mischiefes and maketh men to become diuels The fourth is when the Prince ouerchargeth his subiects with tributes and when hee substituteth niggardly and deceitfull Treasurers and Lieutenants to receiue the leuied money that will not sticke to detaine a part thereof for their owne priuate gaine The first cause of Sedition is iniquitie as when that which is due by proportion is not giuen to them that bee equall and when the Prince bestoweth honour which is the hire and guerdon of vertue vpon raw and meane men This was one of the originall causes of the late troubles in France when the Queene mother for the establishment of her regencie dubbed simple Gentlemen knights of the honourable order of Saint Michael first instituted by King Lewis the eleuenth and til that time held in great estimation The sixt cause of sedition is

they haue worshipped the goldeÌ„ calf Fourthly to giue counsel coÌ„cerning the present time of those things which are coÌ„prehended in the sences So Christ said vnto the disciples of Iohn Go and shew Iohn what things yee heare see The blind receiue their sight the halt do walke the lepers are clensed the deafe heare the dead are raised vp the poore receyue the Gospel Fiftly to foresee things to come to forewarne men of them as he that shall offend shall be bound hand and foote and cast into vtter darkenesse where shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth Of Counsellours Chap. 24. SEuen things are required in a counsellour First the feare of God for he is the only authour of al good counsels Secondly experience in matters of policy Thirdly learning knowledge in the lawves For hardly will they bee infected with â—â—â—onious viâ—es whome learning hath purged Fourthly mildnesse Fiftly a couÌ„sellour must be naturally borne within that state where he gouerneth Sixtly he must be secrete lest he worke to himselfe the occasion of his owne death as the bishop of Setto did who because he reuealed to the French king that Cesar Borgias his master brought with him a Bull authentike ratified from the Pope his father for a diuorcement to the French king which hee dissembled was by the said Duke eftsoone poisoned Seuenthly a counsellour if it be possible ought to be of noble pareÌ„tage for they which haue more nobility haue more right in a coÌ„moÌ„wealth then the ignoble And euery one esteemeth nobility in his countrey as a thing very honourable seeing it is likely that the best parents should beget the best children and nobility is the vertue of the stock and race Of Parliaments Chap. 25. PArliaments are right necessary in a commonwealth without them the whole estate is mortified and sencelesse For euen as a man cannot liue without a soule so a commonwealth cannot liue without Parliaments By experience it is found out that they haue saued commonwealths froÌ„ ruine decay Greece had neuer so long flourished if the great counsell of the Amphictions first instituted by Amphiction the sonne of Deucalion had not beene holden twise a yeere in spring time and in Autumne at Delphos in the temple of Apollo which was seated in the heart of all Greece The counsel of Nicene hindred the proceedings of the Arrians and caused the true religion to be planted The ParliameÌ„ts of Germany where the Emperour and the seuen Electours meete haue preserued the state thereof from the intrusions of the Turkes So likewise the Aggregation of the Genowayes the Iourney or Diet of the Switzers the great councell of the Veneâ—ian Gentlemen the Diuan of the Turks the assembly of the states of Polonia the 7. councels of Spaine to wit the councell of Spaine of the low Countries of the Inquisition of the Indians of Italy of the order of saint Iohn of warre the meeting of the states of Fraunce and the parliament of England consisting of the Prince Baronrie and commonalty haue maintained their commonwealths more securely aswell from hostile as from domesticall enemies To hold a Parliament is when the Prince communicateth his affaires of importance with his subiects demaundeth subsidies of them taketh their aduice heareth their molestations prouideth for them reasonably The Iudges in our Parliament of EnglaÌ„d are the Prince the Lords spirituall and temporall and the commons represented by the Knights and Burgesses of euery shire and Borough towne The officers are the speakers the clarks and the committies The authour of this Parliament was king Henry the third induced thereunto as I suppose by his Barons who rebelling against him made England tributary to PaÌ„dolph the legat in the Popes name And doubtlesse the calling and holding of it is the chiefest meanes of all our welfares For in times past it appeased ciuill warres it deliuered the whole realme from the incursions of forraine enemies and maintained continuall warres abroad with the Scots and Frenchmen In a word this holding of parliament is the anchor of our whole comonwealth wherby it is set sure and stayed as a ship in the water Of Iudgements Chap. 26. IVdgemeÌ„t is that which is decreed by the Iudge not altogether dissenting froÌ„ the tenor of the law Of iudgements some be called ciuill some criminall but because our Ciuilians haue largely treated of them I will proceed to another diuision which makes most for our politique instruction Iudgements againe are either priuat or publique Ordinary or extraordinary Priuat iudgemeÌ„ts coÌ„cerne testaments successions mariages contracts wardships gardianships bondages prescriptions Publique iudgements are of grieuous offences against God and man as high treason petie treason murthers rapes felonies riot bribes forgeries and insurrections Ordinary iudgements are those which are executed by the Iudge according to the prescription of the law Extraordinary are called when the Iudge departing somewhat froÌ„ the rigour of the law iudgeth more mercifully according to his owne conscience The coÌ„mon vsuall forme of iudgement that is exercised here in England is by the great assise or by a quest of 12. men necessarily of that shire where the defendaÌ„t dwelleth These meÌ„ the sherife warneth to appeare vpoÌ„ pain of amercements And appearing vnlesse exceptions be made against theÌ„ they besworne to tell the truth of that issue or criminall cause according to their conscience and euidence or writings autheÌ„ticall laid before them Then these 12. men are shut vp in some roome hard by and kept by a bailiffe without any kind of sustenance fire or candle vntil al of them agree vpoÌ„ one verdict about the said issue or criminall cause This is our common order of iudgement There are likewise other formes whereby iudgement is giuen as by the parliament by combat and such like which are absolute and without appeale howbeit they be seldome vsed Of Iudges and their duty Chap. 27. IVdges must not goe astray from the right but discharge themselues pure innocent to God the prince the law They must not be corrupted with bribes and extorsion nor by other mens bra â—les hunt for a pray They must be men for their yeres very ripe in prudence iudgement and experience for their countenance seuere and graue for their parentage if it be possible renowmed aboue the residue of the people for their credit strong in opinioÌ„ with the common people * They must not pronounce sentence against the statutes of the realme or against the common law Neither must they condemne any man vpon suspition for better it is to suffer the guilty to escape vnpunished then to condemne an innocent They must neither be too seuere nor too remisse but they must determine circumspectly as the matter and necessities require Howbeit in light matters let them be somewhat addicted to lenity and in waighty affaires to seuerity being teÌ„pered with a meeke countenance And if they would needes remit penalties
