Witch making obeysance to Mackbeth saluted him by the name of Thane or Earl of Glammis the second Witch saluted him Thane or Earl of Cauder the third saluted him King of Scotland This is unequal dealing said Banquo to give my Friend Mackbeth all the honours and none to me to which one of the Witches answered That he indeed should not be King but out of his Loins should come a Race of Kings that should over-rule the Scots and having thus said they all vanished upon their arrival at Court Mackbeth was immediately created Earl of Glammis and not long after some new service requiring some new recompence he was honoured with the Title of Earl of Cander seeing then how happily the prediction of the three Wizards fell out in the two former he resolved not to be wanting to himself in fulfilling the third he therefore first killed the King and after by reason of his Command among the Souldiers he succeeded in this Throne Being scarce warm in his Seat he called to mind the prediction given to his Companion Banquo whom hereupon suspecting as his Supplanter he caused to be killed together with his whole posterity only Fleance one of his Sons escaped with much difficulty into Wales Mackbeth thus freed as he thought of all fear of Banquo and his Issue he built Dunsinan Castle and made it his ordinary residence afterwards on some new fears consulting with his Wizards concerning his future State he was told by one of them That he should never be overcome till Bernane Wood which was some miles distant came to Dunsinan Castle and by another That he should never be slain by any Man that was born of a Woman secure then as he thought from all future dangers he gave himself up to all manner of debauchery lasciviousness and cruelty for the space of eighteen years for so long he Tyrannized over Scotland but having then made up the measure of his iniquities Mackduff the Governor of Fife with some other good Patriots of their Country met privately one evening at Bernane Wood and taking every one of them a bough in his hand the better to keep them from discovery they marched early in the morning toward Dunsinan Castle which they took by storm Mackbeth escaping was pursued by Mackduff who having overtaken him urged him to the Combate to whom the Tyrant half in scorn returned answer That he in vain attempted to kill him it being his destiny never to be slain by any Man that was born of a Woman now then said Mackduff is thy fatal end drawing fast upon thee for I was never born of a Woman but violently cut out of my Mothers belly which so daunted the Tyrant though otherwise a valiant Man that he was easily slain In the mean time Fleance so prospered in Wales that he gained the affection of the Princes Daughter of the Country and by her had a Son called Walter who flying out of Wales returned into Scotland where his descent being known he was restored to the Honours and Lands of his House and preferred to be Steward to the House of Edgar the Son of Malcolm the Third firnamed Conmer King of Scotland the name of Stewart growing hence hereditary unto his posterity from this Walter descended that Robert Stewart who succeeded David Bruce in the Kingdom of Scotland the Progenitor of nine Kings of the name of Stewart which have reigned successively in that Kingdom Heylins Cosmography p. 336 IX The D. of Biron a great Peer of France when he was

Mathematician who was held to be skilful in Nativities to whom he shewed his Nativity drawn by some other and pretended it was not his but a Gentlemans whom he served and that he desired to know what end that Man should have La Brosse having rectified this Figure said to him that he was of a good house and no elder than you are said he to the Baron asking him if it were his the Baron answered I will not tell you but pray let me know what his life and means and end shall be The old Man who was then in a little Garret which served him for a Study said unto him My Son I see that he whose Nativity this is shall come to great honour by his Industry and Military Valour and may be a King but thut there is a Caput Argol which hinders it and what is that said the Barron ask me not said La Brosse what it is I must know it replyed he in the end he answered My Son it is this that he will commit such things as will make him lose his head whereupon the Earon beat him cruelly and leaving him half dead went down and carried the Key of the Garret door with him as he brag'd afterward Biron had conference likewise with one Caesar who was a Magician at Paris who old him That only a back-blow of a Burgonian would hin●er him from being King he remembred this prediction being a Prisoner in the Bastile and intreated one that went to visit him to inquire if the Hangman of Paris were a Burgonian and having found it so he said I am a dead Man and soon after he was beheaded for his conspiring against the King De Serres Hist France p. 1051.
