haue place amongst the true and authentick registers of so noble a Realme By which genereux and iust act she merites no lesse praise nor the Romanes and Ephesians the one defacing the name of the Tarquins for the meshant act of Tarquinius Superbus the other making a Law prohibitiue to all historians neuer to mention the name of Impius Erostratus within their commentaries But fearing least prolixitie make mee tedious I retranche and omitt manie pithie allegations that might be pertinentlie opponed to the aduersare reserring a more ample discourse vpon this subiect to more leasure or rather to one more versed in Lawes and histories nor I am closing this section of my Palinod with a double admiration In the one I cannot enough maruell howe our aduersaries can obiect so confidently against vs this law positiue against strangers seeing they think the positiue Law salique should haue no place nor power against their proximitie of blood in France Et si identitatis ratio sequenda est aequalium aequalis esse debet consideratio quod sibi fieri nolunt alteri facere non debent And so they should in reason think their law transmarine or peregrine to haue no more authoritie against his Maiestie nor they would wish the Lawe Salique to haue against their self according to old decisions Patiendae sunt Leges quas ipsi tulimus Quod quisque iuris in alios statuit ipse eodem iure teneatur My other admiration is that a Nation so wise politick and prudent should not for-see the inquencheable combustion that may bee kindled within their owne bowels by establishing or maintaining Lawes vniustlie made against iust successors to their crowne which kind of partialitie as it hes euer beene the pest perdition of all common wealthes vsing the same speciallie of such as haue bene most famous and glorious so can it not in this age produce anie better effects but to distract the people vpon diuersitie of respects to follow diuerse and dangerous factions Which inconuenient no other Christian Nation had more need to prevent nor the flourishing Realm of England for as they are wealthy so are they much enuied for their felicitie whereby it cannot faile if anie debate be for their crowne betwixt contrair competitors but their Realme shall be a stage or playing fielde to all Nations the one pairtie inuyting some forainers to his aide and his aduersare dooing the like knowing that no stranger shal be vnwilling thervnto some vpon auarice some vpon malice some for both euerie one already attending to set vp their rest vpon hope to repaire their aduerse or base fortunes with the ruine of that most noble famous and vertuous Realme which of old for the fertilitie of the soile and rare bewtie of the inhabitants was called the Realme of God whome of his great mercie with ardeÌ„t vowes and humble supplication I implore long yea euer to preserue them from such destanie dysaster and desolation As to that where I moste irreuerentlie and iniuriouslie alledge his Maiestie to bee made incapable by reason of a clause contained in the act of Association made at Westminster Anno _____ which his Maiesties mother of good memorie did signe as is alledged In this iniust allegation I confes a malitious impudent error for no such clause is contained in the Association and though it were contained yet what her Maiestie did consent or yeeld vnto in her captiuitie propter metum qui potest cadere insexum constantiorem is not obligatorie to her self much lesse to her innocent successor whose title is Maior omni exceptione For probation whereof I will not reckon his auncient descent from the Royall blood of England as that of Malcolme the 3 called Canmore with the Niece of Edward the Confessor before the conquest nor that of King Iames the first with the petite Niece of Iohn of Gant Duke of Lancaster but I holde mee at a probation so patent and recent as no man can pretend ignorance or obliuion thereof affirming as the trueth is that his Maiestie hes the iust title ex vtroque Parente For being the vndoubted heire of Margaret eldest daughter to King Henry the 7. he must also be-he vndoubted heritour of the crowne after the death of Queene Elizabeth her Maiesty present who is the only graff or branche remaining of the masculine descent or of the sonnes of the said Henry the 7. In whose person by vertue of his mariage with the righteous heire of the house of York like as hee was the vndoubted heire of the house of Lancaster the crown of England was infallibly established and the two roses vnited And the cleernesse of this Pedegree ioined with the knowledge I had thereof maketh my offence so much the more inexcusable I being a coÌ„scienceles contradictor to my owne knowledge committing therby not only an civill heresie but eueÌ„ a sin against the holy spreit in oppugning the known veritie God most iustly punishing my pride adding vn to the multitude of my other sins this most capital damnable consort of desperatioÌ„ which by no meanes I had escaped if I had obstinatly perseuered in my former induration yea notwithstanding my vnfenzeit repentance I should yet doubt of Gods mercy if former examples did not assure mee But when I see a chief Apost against his knowledge denying his Maister repenting confiding receiuing pardon I begin to thinke that it is naturall to sin brutall to perseuere Christian to repent diuelish to dispair quia peccantium partus optimus poenitentia poenitentium statio tutissima confidentia Sed quia veram poenitentiam pudor peccati commissi pracedit I will with Miriam be ashamed of myself as if my father had spitted in my face I wil be huÌ„bled with the Publican confes my insolence with the forlorne sonne repent weep bitterly with Peter confide with the faithfull Brigand Knowing there is no sinne can exceed the mercy of God who descended from heauen to earth from thence did againe ascend to heaueÌ„ to saue the sinners not the iust the Publican not the Pharisie leauing behind him many pithy arguments vnto such as would be called his Disciples perswading them to mercy after his example Whereunto the most noble both fidell infidel Princes haue euer bene inclyned according to that of the Poet Quo maior quisque est magis est placabilisirae Et faciles motus mens generosa capit c The great Monarch Iulius Caesar culd forget nothing but iniuries Titus called delitiae generis humani thoght the day euil speÌ„ded wherin he had not done some work of coÌ„passion And the Royall Prophet sayes Ne tradas bestijs animam confitentem tibi wherby is meant as the learned affirm that confessing penitents should not be deuourcd nor driuen to desperate courses By which clement moderation this present most christian King hath so honored enriched and strengthened him selfe with the harts of the people as is
