Territory hath been rather matter of Burthen then matter of Strength unto them yea and further it hath kept alive the Seeds and Roots of Revolts and Rebellions for many Ages As we may see in a fresh and notable Example of the Kingdome of Aragon Which though it were united to Castile by Marriage and not by Conquest And so descended in Hereditary Union by the space of more then an 100. years yet because it was continued in a divided Government and not well Incorporated and Cemented with the other Crowns Entred into a Rebellion upon point of their Fueros or Liberties now of very late years Now to speak briefly of the severall parts of that form whereby States and Kingdomes are perfectly united They are besides the Soveraignty it self four in Number Vnion in Name Vnion in Language Vnion in Lawes Vnion in Employments For Name though it seem but a superficiall and Outward Matter yet it carrieth much Impression and Enchantment The Generall and common Name of Grecia made the Greeks alwaies apt to unite though otherwise full of Divisions amongst themselves against other Nations whom they called Barbarous The Helvetian Name is no small Band to knit together their Leagues and Confederacies the faster The common Name of Spain no doubt hath been a speciall meanes of the better union and Conglutination of the severall Kingdomes of Castile Aragon Granada Navarre Valentia Catalonia and the rest Comprehending also now lately Portugall For Language it is not needful to insist upon it because both your Majesties Kingdomes are of one Language though of severall Dialects And the Difference is so small between them as promiseth rather an inriching of one Language then a continuance of two For Lawes which are the Principall Sinnewes of Government they be of three Natures Iura which I will term Freedomes or Abilities Leges and Mores For Abilities and Freedomes they were amongst the Romans of four Kinds or rather Degrees Ius Connubii Ius Civitatis Ius Suffragii and Ius Petitionis or Honorum Ius Connubii is a thing in these times out of Use For Marriage is open between all Diversities of Nations Ius Civitatis answereth to that we call Denization or Naturalization Ius Suffragii answereth to the Voice in Parliament Ius Petitionis answereth to place in Counsell or Office And the Romans did many times sever these Freedomes granting Ius Connubii sine Civitate And Civitatem sine suffragio And suffragium si●e Iure Petitionis which was commonly with them the last For those we called Leges it is a Matter of Curiosity and Inconveniency to ●eek either to extirpate all particular Customes Or to draw all Subjects to one Place or resort of Iudicature and Session It sufficeth there be an Uniformity in the Principall and Fundamentall Lawes both Ecclesiasticall and Civill For in this Point the Rule holdeth which was pronounced by an Ancient Father touching the Diversity of Rites in the Church For finding the Vesture of the Queen in the Psalm which did prefigure the Church was of divers Colours And finding again ●hat Christs Coat was with●ut a seam he concludeth well In veste varietas sit Scissura non sit For Manners a Consent in them is to be sought industriously but not to be enforced For Nothing amongst People breedeth so much pe●●inacy in holding their Customes as suddain and violent of●er to remove them And as for Employments it is no more but in indifferent Hand ●nd Execution of that Verse Tr●s Tyriusque mihi nullo discrimine agetur There remaineth only to remember out of the Grounds of Nature the two Conditions of Perf●ct mixture Whereof the former is Time For the Naturall Philosophers say well that Compositio is Opus Hominis and Mistio Opus Naturae For it is the Duty of Man to make a fit Application of Bodies together But the perfect Fermentation and Incorporation of them must be left to Time and Nature And Vnnaturall Hasting thereof doth disturb the work and not dispatch it So we see after the Graft is put into the Stock and bound it must be left to Time and Nature to make that Continuum which at the first was but Contiguum And it is not any continuall pressing or Thrusting together that will prevent Natures season but rather hinder it And so in Liquours those Commixtures which are at the first troubled grow after clear and setled by the benefit of Rest and Time The Second Condition is That the greater draw the lesse So we see when two Lights do meet the greater doth darken and dim the lesse And when a smaller River runneth into a greater it looseth both his Name and Stream And hereof to conclude we see an excellent Example in the Kingdomes of Iudah and Israel The Kingdom of Iudah contained Two Tribes The Kingdom of Israel contained Ten King David raigned over Iudah for certain years And after the Death of Isbosheth the Son of Saul obtained likewise the Kingdom of Israell This Union continued in him likewise in his Son Salomon by the space of 70. years at least between them both But yet because the Seat of the Kingdom was kept still in Iudah and so the lesse sought to draw ●he greater upon the first occasion offered the Kingdomes brake again and so continued ever after Thus having in all Humblenesse made Oblation to your Majesty of these simple Fruits of my Devotion and Studies I do wish and do wish it not in the Nature of an Impossibility to my Apprehen●ion That this happy Vnion of your Majesties two Kingdomes of England and Scotland may be in as good an Houre and under the like Divine Providence as that was between the Romans and the Sabines CERTAIN ARTICLES OR CONSIDERATIONS TOUCHING THE UNION OF THE KINGDOMES OF ENGLAND and SCOTLAND Collected and dispersed for His MAIESTIES better Service YOUR Majesty being I do not doubt directed and conducted by a better Oracle then that which was given for Light to AEneas in his Peregrination Antiquam exquirite Matrem hath a Royall and indeed an Heroicall Desire to reduce these two Kingdomes of England and Scotland into the Unity of their Ancient Mother Kingdome of Brittain Wherein as I would gladly applaud unto your Majesty or sing aloud that Hymne or Antheme Sic itur ad Astra So in a more soft and submisse voice I must necessarily remember unto your Majesty that Warning or Caveat Ardua quae Pulchra It is an Action that requireth yea●●nd needeth much not only of your Majesties Wisedome but of ●our Felicity In this Argument I presumed at your Majesties first Entrance to write a few Lines indeed Scholastically and Speculatively and not Actively or Politickly as I held it fit for me at that time when nei●her your Majesty was in that your desire declared Nor my self in that Service used or trusted But now that both your Majesty hath opened your desire and purpose with much Admiration even of those who give it not so full an Approbation And that my self was by the
