bold The French-man through vehement desire of a wise man becomes a fool but the German having wasted all his Estate at length though late of a fool becomes a wise man the Spaniard for his Mistriss sake will attempt great things and the Italian for the enjoyment of his Lady contemns all thought of danger Moreover we see that great men intangled in the Shares of Love and Passion many times forsake great Actions and leave most noble Enterprizes behinde their backs as formerly Mithridates in Pontus at Capua Hannibal Caesar in Alexandria in Greece Demetrius Antonie in Egypt Hercules ceas'd from his labours for Iole's sake Achilles hides himself from the Battel for love of Briseis Circe stays Vlysses Claudius dies in Prison for love of a Virgin Caesar is detain'd by Cleopatra and the same woman was the ruine of Antonius We read in Scripture that for the Fornication of Seth with the Daughters of Cain that the whole Race of man was drowned in the Flood The Sichemites and the House of Amor was destroy'd in revenge of Fornication and the whole people of Israel for committing Fornication with strange women were many times overcome in Battel and carried into Captivity And for the single Adultery of one person David the King what a destruction and waste of people ensu'd For Fornication and ravishing of women the Thebans Phoceans and Circeans were assail'd and quite overthrown and for the same reason was the Peloponnesian War undertaken as I said before by Pericles and Troy for the same reason ten years besieg'd to the vast detriment of Greece and Asia For the same reasons and upon the same score Tarquinius Claudius Dionysius Hannibal Ptolomy Marck Antony Theodorick the Goth Rodoaldus the Lombard Childerick of France Advinceslaus of Bohemia and Manphred the Neapolitan suffered death and the ruine of their Countries Meerly for the vitiating of Julia Cana Daughter of the Governour of Tingitana by Rodorick the King the Moors having driven out the Goths possess'd all Spain Henry the second King of England for abusing the contracted Wife of his Son Daughter of Philip the French King had like to have been driven out of his Kingdom by his Son For being false to their Beds those enraged Wives Clytemnestra Olympia Laodicea Beronica Fregiogunda and Blanch both Queens of France Joane of Naples and many other women slew their Husbands And this was the reason that Medea Progne Ariadne Althea Heristilla changing their maternal Love into Hatred were every one the cause and plotters of their Sons deaths And now adays we finde that many women revenge the Adulteries of their Husbands upon their Children and of most milde and patient Mothers have become most cruel Medea's furious Althea's and impious Heristilla's CHAP. LXIV Of Pandarism or Procuring NOw because that by the advice assistance and perswasion of Pimps and Bawds both Whores and Whoremongers commit their mutual Follies Let us discourse a little concerning their Subtleties and Devices for as it is the Calling of a Whore onely to prostitute her own body so it is the business of a Pimp or Bawd to batter and overcome the Chastity of another Which is therefore a Trade to be in some respects preferr'd before the Trade of Self-prostitution by how much it is the more wicked and so much the more powerful as being guarded with the Artillery of many other Arts and Experience besides so much the more pernicious that while it makes use of other Arts and Sciences whatever there is of poyson in any Art or Science that this worshipful Vocation wholly sucks to it self out of which the weaves those Snares that not like Spiders Cobwebs take the Flies but let go the stronger Birds nor like the strong toils of Hunters catch the bigger Beasts of Chace and let go the less but such strong Nooses and Bands that no Maid no Virgin no Woman never so silly never so prudent never so constant never so obstinate never so bashful never so fearful never so confident but will at length lend a willing ear to a Bawd be insnar'd with her perswasions So fine a Craft is this that no woman can vanquish whose perswasions no Virgin Widow Wife or Matron though a Vestal can resist whose unarmed Militia vanquishes the Chastity of most women which a whole Army would not be able to conquer The crafty tricks cunning shifts deceit circumventions delusions frauds and strange inventions of the Art of Bawdery no Pen can suffice to set down nor Wit to express So that it is nothing strange that though there be so many Professors of this Trade of both Sexes yet there are few that arrive to a perfection therein For since the Baits of Pandarism lie couch'd in every Art or Science it behoves therefore a Bawd to be perfect in every one Therefore she that intends to be a perfect Bawd must not direct her studies to one particular sort of knowledge as to her Pole-star but to be universally learned as professing an Art to which all other Arts and Sciences are but the Slaves and Hand-maids For first and foremost Grammar the Art of Writing and Speaking affords ye ability to write Love-letters and how to compose and frame them of Complements Petitions Lamentations and Moans Invocations Protestations and alluring perswasions of all which ye have many late Presidents in Sylvius Jacobus Caviceus and many other Modern Authors There is also another use of Grammar for the manner of abstruse and secret writing in Characters an Invention of Archimedes the Syracusan as Aulus Gellius reports Concerning this Trithemius Abbot of Spanheime hath written two Treatises some few years since one under the Title of Polygraphy the other under the Title of Stenography in the latter of which he hath discover'd such mysterious ways and means of expressing the minde at what distance soever and concealing the meaning of words plainly legible that the most discerning jealousie of Juno nor the strict custody of Danae nor the watchful eyes of Argos can ever prevent Next to Grammar comes Madam Poesie who by the assistance of her lascivious Rhimes wanton Stories and Love-dialogues Epigrams and Epistles taken out of the Armories of Venus playing the part of a Pimp and Bawd together corrupts all Chastity destroys all the hope towardliness and good manners of Youth Well therefore do Poets deserve to have the Precedencie above other common Pandars and Bawds of which the chiefest among the Antients were these whom we have above named in the Chapter of Prostitution as Callimachus Philetes Anacreon Orpheus Pindarus Alceon Sappha Tibullus Catullus Propertius Virgil Ovid Juvenal and Martial and we have now adays too many that write after a most impudent and shameful manner Next to Poets Rhetoricians claim Precedencie the contrivers of fraudulent Flatteries and Perswasions for which cause Suadela or Persuasio was held to be the chief Goddess of Pandarism Historians also have not a little Interest in the World especially the Compilers of those Historical Romances of Lancelot
