Darius vi The order of the tymes doth for the mooste parte allowe this nombre For as the historye wryters haue lyued at sundery tymes euen so hath euery one made mencion of hys kynge that raygned at hys tyme euen as Herodotus maketh mencion of xerxes Theucydides of Artaxerxes with the longe hande after these made Xenophon mencion of Darius the bastarde and his yonger sonne Cyrus he wrote also of Artaxerxes Mnemon Xenophon went a warrefare also in those warres that were vsed at these tymes Therfore the late wryters do greatly erre of the Iewes they be very dull asses which set but four Persian kinges lesing more thē an hundreth yeares in this euident counting of the worldes yeares of the whiche do spryng more greueous errours In Daniel and Esdras is mencion made of the Persian kynges but they varye in some names from the Grekes As for me that all thynges may be knowen more manyfestly I wyll brefely shewe what my mynde is Metasthenes is of some reiected because he nameth some Persian kynges other wyse then the Grekes But for so muche as Esdras and Philo do not disceuer from hym I do not reiect those kynges whiche Metasthenes reherseth For it is no doubt but that Esdras was perfecte of the kyngdome and state of the Persians for so muche as it is euident that hee was one of the chefe of the realme and of the kynges counsayll Metasthenes doth set in this order the Persian kynges and these be the fyrste wherein they vary but Philo and Esdras kepe the same order Darius and Cyrus to gether twoo yeres and after that Cyrus alone xxij Artaxerxes Assuerus xx Darius Artaxerxes with the long hand xxxvij Darius the bastarde xix Artaxerxes Mnemon lv Ochus xxvi Arsames iiij Darius vi This variaunce after my mynde may easely bee iudged Of the fyrst Darius whiche reigned with Cytus haue the Grekes no certainte for so much as saieth Daniel he neuer reigned and therefore was his name all together vnknowen to men of straunge nacions And Daniel hath separated this Darius from Cyrus For he sayeth that Darius of Media was Cyrus of Persia Now do the Grekes reken only the Persian kynges nother do they myngle with them the Medians affeirs whose kyngdome was already translated too the Persians therfore do the Greke wryters dissent nothyng from the holy scriptvres though they leaue out Darius seynge they counte onely the Persian kynges Iosephus wryteth that this Darius were Cyaxares the sonne of Astyages of whome Xenophen wryteth the whyche I wyll not stryue wythall The seconde Artaxerxes Assuerus is Darius Hystaspis sonne and Cambyses is passed ouer because hee reigned hys father yet lyuynge or not long after his fathers death For the Persians had this custome that whan y e kyng went forth on war they ordeined another before which shuld supplie y e kings rowme being absēt And by this occasiō was Cambyses ordeined kyng gouernour of y ◠realme of Cyrus hys father whan he made warre agaynst the Scythyans wyth the which he hadde warre syxe yeares and for this season dyd Cambises raigne whome the Grekes saye to haue raygned seuenyeare the which must be vnderstande of that time wherein the father was yetlyuing And the historyes of Assuerus do wytnesse that he was Darius because Philo wryteth that these kyngdomes be recouered of hym agayne by warre whiche were fallen back and rebelled whan Cyrus had foughten wyth the Scythes hauing no goodlucke The thyrde was called Darius Artaxerxes wyth the longe hande the same do the Grekes simply call Artaxerxes wyth the longe hande and he had the name thereof that hys ryght hande was longer than the left whome Metasthenes calleth Darius Esdras doth call hym Darius and Artaxerxes indifferently for they vsed these names none otherwyse than oure Emperours vse the names of Cesar and Augustus But that Artaxerxes doth strayght waye folow Darius in order that is happened for thys cause that Xerxes forthwyth in the begynnynge of hys raygne wente in to Grece and that in the meane space Artaxerxes ruled the kyngdom in the East And because Xerxes remayned not at hande in the East therfore do not the Iewes make mention of hym but holde Artaxerxes for the kynge seynge he beynge made gouernour of the kyngdome ruleth so longe as Xerxes was from home After thys is ther no varyaunce more and of thys wyse maye the hystoryes of the Byble and Grekes be made very well to agre The disagreynge of the yeres ryseth therof y ◠some Kynges gouerned the other yet lyuinge and ther by is it come that some other haue gathered the yeares otherwyse Of Cyrus CYrus the fyrst Prince of the Monarch of the parsiansis rekened one amonge the moost doughtyest Kynges lordes of the worlde For besyde the manyfold excellent and very princely vertues had God geuē and endued hym wyth sundery luck and fortune in rulynge and very excellent vyctoryes of hys enemies yea he fortuned to be taught and instruct also by Daniel the prophet in godlynes and in the trew worshyp of God as holy scriptures do wytnesse Such kynde of Princes beinge so garnyshed wyth the vertues of God ought we to honoure as noble gyftes of God by the whych God wyll helpe the worlde retayne men in theyr vocacion haue modestye kept and peace finally to haue lawes ordeyned And seynge it is so it is a very vngodlynesse ether to despise or to set nought by suche Princes as the commune sort of people do But this Cyrus is worthtely to be counted among such ministers of God and very excellent Princes of the worlde Nother can the noblenesse of kynred be requyred in hym For it so pleasyd God that the worthynesse of gouernaunce be kept and maynteyned and by men auanced wyth moost hyghe vertues and renowme of theyr auncerters And for so much as God hath preferred with so high honors therfore ought they lykewyse to be honored of vs as a most excellēt gyfte of God The father of Cyrus was a prince or a gouernour of Persia borne of the ofsprynge of Sem his mother was borne of the kynges blude of Medes And Herodotus wryteth that Astyages

of the floudes Of thys wyse dyd God turne the fortune of the dice and punyshed the pryde Great princes haue here an example sett before them whereby they must learne not to truste in their puyssaunce but that in the feare of God and trust to God must great thynges be taken in hande That he had thys shamefull ende for because this expedicion made euery man amased and also for because Xerxes dyd brynge on to Grece such a great multitude and power none otherwise than in oure tyme the Turke was constrayned to forsake the city of Vienne with great shame which came into Germany with an hoost of two hundreth thousande men Howbeit Xerxes departynge out of Grece left Mardonius the capytayne there wyth thre thousande souldyours and that for thys cause because the kynge persuaded by Mardonius counsell wente into Grece agaynste the mynde and wyll of the other Lordes And because it happened not as Mardonius promysed therefore dredinge lest beynge returned home he might lose hys heade because of the mischaunce of the warre he desyred that he might be left in Grece wyth that army to assaye all fortunes of warre yf by chaunce he coulde make feble the affayres of the Grekes Xerxes than suffred that and betoke hym to hys fortune Fyrst beganne Mardonius frendely to entreate the Grekes that hauing layde before them tolerable condicions of peace they woulde willingly yeld themselues But the Grekes beynge become more couragious by reason of the victory refused vtterly all dominion of the Perses and denyenge the leage asked that he shoulde defende hym selfe with force and fyghtynge hande Than toke Mardonius and burnt the citye of Athenes and wente thorough vntyll Thebe for they of Thebe were fallen to the Perses The Athenians and Lacedemonians makyng than agayn a fresh army by land of an hundreth thousand men met at sundry times with Mardonius in battayll at the laste Mardonius constrayned for faut of vytayls made an ende Alexander kyng of Macedony was wyth the Perses of whom we made mencion before the same shewed the Grekes before the euenynge that they should make them ready in armes on the next day for Mardonius was determined to pyche hys last felde and that was so done but the Perses beyng ouercome lost the felde Mardonius beyng slayne also whiche thynge the other counsellers of kyng Xerxes tolde him before the warre began But this was the ende of so great a settyng forth to warre and whan this warre was ended the cities of Grece began too encreace in power and enlargynge of their dominion subduyng many yles of the Perses whiche they adioyned to their dominion Moreouer the Grekes beyng become puyssauÌ„t waxed also haut and presumtuous and for desyre of dominion they procured also inwarde sedicion warre with in themselues and beyng ouercome with mutuall damages that eche had done to the other they were constrayned fynally to yeld themselues to straunge princes quenchynge and destroyeng all the estate of their common wealth and the vertues whereby they floryshed before But of this shall we treate a lytle hereafter It is necessarye to knowe Themistocles example before any thyng the whiche for so muche as he was the man by whose prouisse and counsail whole Grece was saued for the whiche thynge also hys prayses are auaunced more then of any valeaunt captaine whiche Grece had yet was he euel rewarded of his citesens for they droue him out of y â— citie This thanke geueth the commoÌ„ people for the most worthye vertues yea the deuell hymselfe blyndeth men that they do not acknowledge so hygh gyftes of God Wherfore it behoueth the best and excelleâ—t men to haue pacience before all thynges for it can not bee but they must haue grefes and all vnthankfulnesse in that state of lyfe After that fled Themistocles to Artaxerxes by whome he was had in greate honor in all thynges equall to the princes and peeres of his royalme It is wrytten also that Artaxerxes should haue sayde he coulde wyshe his enemies no more euyll but that they blinded with such madnesse dyd put awaye wyse men from them Of Artaxerxes with the longe hande AS Xerxes was deade raigned his sonne Artaxerxes whose right hande was longer than the left whereof he gat the surrname wyth the long hand Thys kynge is chefely praysed for his syngular wysedome and gentlenesse of maners and endeuour of peace Therefore do I rehearse his historye here nomore at length that wee maye finallye returne to the Iewysh hystories lest we be ignoraunce what state was in the church and spyrytuall kyngdome Of Zorobabel the Iewysh capitayne WE haue shewed before that in the Bible is one of the Persian kynges called Assuerus but the same was Darius Histaspis and as I suppose thys Darius is Assuerus which had quene Hester Herodotus doth also make mencion of Artistona the whiche Darius had besyde quene Atossa and sayeth that the same Artistona was very well beloued of Darius and it appeareth that thys same was Hester Philo writeth also that the history of Iudith happened in the tyme of this Darius and that Arphaxad whereof the history of Iudith maketh mention was captayn of y â— Assyrians after that they were now fallen from Cyrus whâ— was ouercome of the Scythyes I do not disalow thys meanynge of Philo but verely as I do suppose the history of Iudith was now already fulfilled before that Iuda was led into bondage and also before the Persians monarchy For Arbaces kynge of the Medes was before the monarchy of the Perses and Ninius was destroyed in the tyme of the Persians kyngdome and whan the Perses had the monarchy nether Ninius nor the Medes had theyr kynge Howbeit I graunt here euery man to defende hys meanynge After Darius Histaspis setteth Philo Artaxerxes wyth the longe hande passynge ouer king Xerxes but doutlesse for none other cause saue as is shewed before namely than whaÌ„ Xerxes was gone into Grece Darius wyth the long hand gouerned the royalme in the East in the meane season And this is that Darius with the longe hande whiche gaue the Iewes leaue the seconde tyme to buylde agayne the temple For though Cyrus had permitted the Iewes to returne to Ierusalem for to tyll theyr lande and to restore the kingdome the worship of God neuerthelesse in the meane season after Cyrus death â–ª were they letted by the borderers y â— the building could not goo forewarde vntill the seconde yere of Artaxerxes with the long hand whoÌ„ Philo calleth Darius with the longe hande Thesame commaunded in the second yeare of his king 〈…〉 by a commune proclamation commaundement that Ieruâ—alâ— the temple shuld be repared This was the occasion by the whiche the Iewysh natioÌ„s was restored to his libertie instituted again the gouernaunce of the royalme with the Gods seruice and builded agayne the temple and cities And though Iuda

For we haue no certaynty of the Germanes estate out of histories before Augustus But that the Frankes were in suche estimacion by the hygh Germanes that it can easely be proued out of Strabo who wrote an history in the tyme of Auguste and warrefared wyth the Romanes As for Strabo sayeth that the Frankes were ioynyng to the Vindelici that is Bayerlanders vpon the which they border partly at thys tyme also The commotion of the Frankes beganne by thys occasyon In the tyme of Galianus the Emperoure was Posthumus captayne in Germany the same was made Emperoure by the people for hys syngular honestye and vertues in gouernynge the empyre Galienus in the meane season lyued in ydelnesse and pleasure at Rome But whan Galienus hearde that Posthumus was made Emperoure he sent against hym an apointed army Posthumus likewyse commaunded his men to be in a readinesse among the whiche were euen the Frankes the principall And though Posthumus was afterwarde slayne priuely by an intrap yet the Frankes once prouoked to weapons remayned alway in the settyng forth to warre and came downe from Moganus to the Rene and ouer the Rene toke they first the citie Trier from the Romanes and afterwards went into fraunce But after that they had foughteÌ„ against Attila with the Romanes they were alway in great fauour wyth the Emperours in so muche â–ª that Iustinianus the Emperoure through a conuenaunt made with the Frankes suffred them to haue and inhabite that parte of Gallia whiche at this tyme is yet called Francia or Fraunce Wherefore the Frankes toke in both the contreis of the Ryne and parte of Fraunce and both the contreis were maynteined by one common kyngly gouernaunce The histories make euery where mencion of great prayses of the Frankes partely for their goodly polycy and prosperitie in gouernyng their kyngdome but specially because they embraced the Christen religioÌ„ in the begynnyg of the kyngdome and wylled it to be publyshed and spred abrode In the meane tyme dyd the Alemans decyuer from the Romyshe empyre also The Alemans were the hygh Germanes whiche now are called Schwaben Schweitzer Baier Therefore when the Romane Monarchy was sundered then was Germany first deuyded in Alemanes and Frankes But in the time of Pipine father to Charles the greate became the Frankes lordes of the Almaines and therfore as the empyre was thus deuided they called hygh Germany the Easte kyngdome and lowe Germany wyth Fraunce the West kyngdome And by thys partynge of the kyngdomes remayne the names yett in Germany The elders of Charles the greate were princes of Germany and Lordes of the courte and that more is the chefe gouernours by the kynges of the Frankes and by the commission of their office were called Grande maysters It is also sayed that thesame was theyr duchy dominion by enheritaunce where now is the countyshyp of Palatine about the Rene syde For certayne it is that the fyrst sprynge of the stocke of the Palatine commeth of Charles the greates yssue But at the last when the kyngly progeny decreassed and fayled by processe of tyme more and more and that these princes became more myghtyer it came topasse by the consent of the byshop of Rome that the gouernaunce of the kyngdome was brought ouer to the princes and Pipinus beyng made kyng of thys wyse gouerned both Germany and Fraunce When Pipinus was deade Charles surnamed the greate was kynge of the Frankes two and thyrty yeares before he was Emperoure and after that he was made Emperoure he reygned fourtene yeares Of this wyse reygned he both in the kingdome and empyre together .xlvi. yeares when they be counted together He was boren in Ingelheim in the county of Palatine not farre from the cytie Mentz In the begynnynge of his reigne warred he agaynst the Saracens in Gascon afterward warred he about thirty yeares with the Saxons the whiche he subdued at the last and made them to obeye the empyre embrace the ChristeÌ„ faith besyde other many and great battails whiche he had in the meane season also Desiderius kyng of the Lombardes coueted the dominion of whole Italy goyng to Rome caused some of the chefe cytesens to be put to death Wherfore Adrianus the byshop of Rome sendyng ambassadours to Charles desyred he woulde come and rydde Italy and Rome out of daunger For Pipinus the father of Charles had also before delyuered Rome from the tyranny
