members in the Common-weale And being foris familiat according to their gifts and qualities they are preferred to Government and charges under his Majestie in all Provinces of the Kingdome of Denmarke Yewtland Holsten and Norway His Majestie also is praise-worthy for his Occonomie in keeping of Store-houses to feed Oxen and stalles for keeping of milch Cowes whereof is received yearely great income of moneys for Butter and Cheese made in great quantitie by Hollanders in Denmarke Holsten and Yewtland which parts abound also with all sorts of Fish which inricheth his Majesties treâ—sure infinitely together with their trading by Sea to the fishing in Greeneland bringing great commoditie to the Subjects in serving themselves as also in bringing of money into the Kingdome by furnishing of others Also this Land abounds in Corne which makes great cheapnesse in this Kingdome where I have lived nobly entertained with two servants for twelve shillings sterling a weeke being a whole winter in Garrison at Malemce in Skoneland Where I did see and observe the custome used by the Danes Gentrie in their house-keeping wherein they are not prodigall but yet very noble noâ— differing much from our owne customes at home entertaining many persons attendant but not with costly or daintie fare but aboundant in meate and drinke obliging also they are in entertaining strangers of fashion they keepe long Tables at which there sit sometimes above thirtie persons ordinary Tables they use besides ordained for the attendants of the familie who sit not till their Masters have halfe din'd or sup't they keepe also many horses hounds and hawkes with attendance answerable which makes their families great Here I did observe that the Subjects doe follow the example of their King in their apparrell in their vertues and Oeconomie where I did see vertue to have beene alike habituall in King Gentry Citizens and Country being all in their degrees extraordinary rich not onely in money but also in Iewells and plate nothing inferiour in my judgement to any neighbour Country It was observed in the Court of the Emperour Maximilian the second a good Prince and a vertuous that many Lords and great Seigniâ—urs not onely clad themselves according to the colour he wore but also had the same vessells and moveables the greatest Ladies also followed the Empresse so that those kindes of cloathing that before were disdained and out of request were then followed all being clad with skinnes and leather The Emperour and the Empresse not disdaining to carry and weare them the rest followed the pearles and precious stones did rise to the great price that they are now at by the rich that made the price so high that the poore could not attaine unto them To shew this by example we reade of Sabina Poppaea to whom nothing was wanting but shame and honestie being extremely beloved of Nero had the colour of her haire yellow like Amber which Nero esteemed much of in singing Verses made on her on the Cittern and from this came that the whole Damsels of Rome and Italie did like best to have that colour of haire in their Buskins Bracelers and cloathing and the Amber which before was in no esteeme became very deare seeing Nero esteemed of it which makes Plinie report speaking of the Comoedians apparell that they carried so much Amber that it was admirable to behold which shewes that the examples of great personages have great power in matters of moment and consequence as it hath in things of lesse importance For as Villeius Paterculus spake of the Emperour Augustus a good Prince teacheth his Subjects to doe well and as he is the greatest in estate even so he is the greatest in example the people casting their eyes on their Prince sitting high in sight of all they delight narrowly to consider all he doth and saith and they looke unto the most hidden things of his actions as through little holes and therefore before all places the Kings Court ought to be holiest and cleerest of all vices and endued with most honestie which betimes will make the whole Kingdome conforme To confirme this we reade in our owne story a memorable example how the King Iosina tooke pleasure and delight to discourse much with Physicians and Chirurgians in a short time the Lords and Gentrie did accommodate themselves to the Princes humour that many ages after there was no noble familie in Scotland that was not expert and well taught in dressing and healing the wounds of the body A knowledge very necessary for men of our profâ—ssion that oft-times are lost for want of good cure And we reade that King IAMES the fourth following the laudable custome of his Ancestors was very expert in this kinde in healing of wounds A noble knowledge of so noble a Prince and so great a Captaine as he was And the common Proverbe is that the little prettie dogges or puppies doe any thing to please their Mistresses and we sâ—y he sâ—ells of the pot he hath licked Here then you see the power of good and bad examples To conclude then Let us learne by the good examples aforesaid to follow the vertuous examples of our noble Master and King not neglecting the service and dutie we owe to the King of Kings since our lives here are but like bubbles of the water now seene now vanisht THE TABLE OF THE FIRST PART A.

defensive warre keeping the maine strength of his Army within Wurtzburg being well provided of all furniture for horse and man he begunne to strengthen the Towne with the spade and the shovell in making of redoutes and skonces without it in manner of a Winter Leaguer he also caused Scaffold the walles round about within the Towne and fearing his coming on Oxenford he did the like discharging all duties himselfe from one place to an other as became a wise Generall that did foresee the designes of his â—nemie by a timely prevention according to the accidents circumstances and situation of places seeing his enemies strong and himselfe weake he tooke the first advantage This charge of a Generall to an Armie is a place of such weight and importance that few ought to long to intrude themselves in this kinde of Generall command being subject to infinite chances and altogether divers almost every houre set before him Truly though this King had a rare judgement wit and dexteritie with great experience in his Command Neverthelesse to speake truth all the time I did follow his Majestie on occasions being neere three yeeres I did never see His Majestie so much troubled in minde and resolution as at this time in Oxenford not knowing well himselfe what to resolve the enemie being behind him and before him able to pursue Wurtzburg and Oxenford alike and to my minde if he had he might have carried both at that time for our Armie was not only scattered and diâ—persed but also we were weake and which was worse we were all of us discontented being too much toyled with marching working and watching without any pay or gaines for honest men At this time his Majestie stood in neede of assistance and good Counsell having enemies on all hands and a strong enemy the Country also unsure being unfriends and Papists and he being wise resolved without giving Battaile his best was to presse to overcome them with the season with hunger and cold with marches and delayes keeping himselfe within walles he knew well twelve Souldiers with a good Officer to direct them were better being willing to attend than a hundred naked and hungry Souldiers without whereby his enemies Armie were undone without hurt or detriment of his owne being well commanded and well foreseene and provided of all necessaries having given them besides as reward of their former services a little money knowing well how hungry men could be contented with little in time of neede for he resolved if the enemy pursued him hard within Wurtzburg he could not suffer himselfe to be beleaguered with a strong Armie in a straite place and to goe to the Fields with a discontented weake Armie which it behooved him to doe was not good The consideration of this forced him to give some moneys in hand to content them and hand-writ and assignations for more moneys to be payd unto them out of Newrenberg within six moneths afterwards As also his Majestie knew well the enemies Armie neere hand hearing there was money given out by his Majestie that it was the onely way to weaken and dissolve the enemies Armie in making their Souldiers runne away and to take service under his Majestie which in effect accordingly fell out for it being neere Winter and their Armie marched away their stragling Souldiers did strengthen our Garrisons having taken service under us having but heard of the brute of money that was given ouâ— amongst us Where we see how necessary it was at this time in such a dangerous extremitie for this little Armie to have beene commanded by a wise Generall that steered his course aright in middest of the greatest tempest like to a skilfull marriner where an arrogant fellow without skill that had commanded had made shipwracke of all As his Majestie was wise and moderate in his Command so those who obeyed were faithfull and intire to their Superiour Here inferiours whom Fortune favoureth though weakest were subject in all things to him who was Fortunes Minion and Mars his equall Gustavus the Invincible that by his wisedome and foresight forced old Tillie to retire to Nurenberg having gained nothing but losse which retreate was the presage of his future ruine at the Leacke where it enters into the Danow Here also we are instructed as well by his Majesties politique government as by his military He being alike expert in both discharging the dutie of a King and a Generall Tam Arte quam Marte for the enemy was no sooner gone but incontinent his Majestie caused serve his publique Edicts for bringing in the Country-men to give their oaths of fidelitie moving them thereto partly by compulsion and partly by promises of dutie and of libertie to their Consciences two strong Arguments to move those to obedience who had seene their friends forced to turne backes upon them from whom under God they did expect Reliefe to come Moreover we see here that those who are honoured by God are also worthy of honour from their equalls other Kings Princes and Confederates sending their Ambassadours unto them to congratulate their good Fortunes and successe as also to Treate with them in matters belonging to their mutuall States and standing at this time also there were Commissioners sent from Vlme Strasburg Nurenberg and Francford treating with His Majestie for themselves apart as free from the bodie of the Empire And such feathers his Majestie was glad to get out of the Emperours wings knowing the more he wanted of such feathers the worse he could flie and some of them were light changing as the winde To conclude then whom fortune favoures the world laughs on as may be seene here by the example of Lievetenant Colonell Howbalt after the intaking of Hanow by meere fortune being surprized which was the occasion this Cavalier was so suddenly made up in getting Command over horse and foote from Livetenant Colonell who foure yeeres before was Sergeant under the blew Regiment Yet notwithstanding the good he had received under his Majestie and his Crowne he afterwards quit them and their service in their greatest extreamitie which was unthankfully done of him being more unkindly then friendly The twenty second Duty discharged of our March from Wurtzburg to Francford on the Maine HIS Majesty having beset Wurtzburg Castle with a strong Swedens Garrison under command of Colonell Axellille preparation being made for the march the Colonell of the Artillery Leonard Richardson a Swede was directed downe the Maine with the great Cannon and three hundred commanded musketiers of Scots of Sr. Iames Ramsey his Regiment comanded by Alexander Hanan being a discreete Cavalier of good command and conduct and valorous also they had abundance of Cannon fire-workes Amunition and all other furniture belonging to Artillery with them by water having got orders to take in all strengths on the Maine which lay in their way where they and he who commanded them made good booty having taken in severall Castles and Miltenburg also and from thence continued their course
