Iulius Cesar into Britaine WHen Iulius Cesar had ended his mightie and huge battailes about the stood Rhene he marched into the regiō of Fraunce at the same time repairing with a freshe multitude his Legiōs but the chief cause of his warie in Fraunce was that of long time he was moued in minde to see this noble Islande of Britain whose fame for nobilitee was knowen and bruted not onelie in Rome but also in the vttermoste lādes Iulius Cesar was wroth with thē because in his warre sturred in Fraunce the fearce Britaines aided the Fenche men and did mightilie encounter battaill with the Romaines whose prowes and valiaunt fight slaked the proude and loftie stomackes of the Romaines and droue thē to diuerse hasardes of battaill But Cesar as a noble warrier preferryng nobilitee and worthinesse of fame before money or cowardly quietnes ceased not to enter on y e fearce Britaines and thereto prepared his Shippes the Winter tyme folowyng that assone as oportunitee of the yere serued to passe with all power against them In the meane tyme Cesar inquired of the Marchauntes who with marchaundise had accesse to the Islande as concernyng the quātitee and bignes of it the fashion and maner of the people their lawes their order and kinde of gouernmente As these thynges were in all poinctes vnknowen to Cesar so also the Marchaūtes knewe no more thā the places bordring on the sea side For the Britaines fearing the traiterous and dissembled hartes of aliaūtes politikelie repelled them for no straunger was suffered to enter from his Shippe on the lande but their marchaundice were sold at the sea side All nacions sought to this land the felicitee of it was so greate whereupon the Grekes knowyng and tastyng the commoditée of this Islande called it by a Greke name Olbion whiche signifieth a happie and fortunate countrie though of some called Albion tyme chaunged the firste letter as at this daie London is called for the toune of kyng Lud. Cesar thereupon before he would marche with his armie to the people of Britain he sent Caius Volusenus a noble man of Rome a valiaunte and hardie Capitaine as Embassadour to the Britaines who as he thoughte by his Embassage should knowe the fashion of the Island the maner of the people their gouernemente But as it seemeth the Embassadour was not welcome For he durste not enter frō his Ship to dooe his maisters Embassage Cesar knewe nothing by him Yet Cesar was not so contented but sent an other Embassadour a man of more power stomack and more hardie Comas Atrebas by name who would enter as an Embassadour to accomplish the will expectacion of Cesar Comas Atrebas was so welcome that the Britains cast him in prison Embassages was not common emong theim nor the curteous vsage of Embassadours knowen Al these thinges made Cesar more wrothe to assaie the vncourtous Bristaines In those daies Cassibelan was kyng of London this Cassibelan was a prince of high wisedom of manly stomacke and valiaunt in fight and for power and valiauntnesse was chosen of the Britaines chief gouernour and kyng Dissencion and cruell warre was emong thē through the diuersitie of diuers kinges in the lande The Troinouaūtes enuied the state of Cassibelan bicause Immanuencius who was kyng of London before Cassibelan was put to death by the counsail of Cassibelan The sonne of Immanuencius hearing of the commyng of Cesar did flie traiterouslie to Cesar The Troinouauntes fauoured Immanuēcius part thereupon promised as moste vile traitours to their countrie an enteryng to Cesar seruice and homage who through a self will and priuate fauour of one sought the ruine of their countrie and in

obedience of lawes and preeminente authoritie of Magistrates The state of mightie kyngdomes and Common wealthes haue growen to soche a roialnesse and loftie state many famous kingdomes haue been on the face of the yearth many noble Princes from tyme to tyme succedyng whiche without a order of godlie lawes could not haue continued What was the cause that the mightie Monarchies continued many hundred yeres did the losse and dissolute life of subiectes and Princes cause the same but good lawes and obedience to orders Therefore where Magistrates bothe in life and office liue in the obedience of Lawes the multitude inferiour by example of the Magistrates singularitie incensed dooe place before them their example of life as a strong lawe Theodosius Emperor of Rome writyng to Volufianus his chief Pretor as concernyng his office in these woordes saieth Digna vox est maiestate regnantis legibus alligatum se principem profiteri Adeo de autoritate Iuris nostra pendet autoritas et reuera maius imperio est submittere legibus principatum oraculo presentis edicti quod nobis licere non patimur alijs indicamus It is a worthie saiyng and meete for the Maiestie of a Prince to acknowledge hymself vnder his lawe For our aucthoritie power and sworde doeth depende vpon the force might and aucthoritie of Lawes and it passeth all power and aucthoritie his gouernemente and kyngdome to be tempered by lawe as a moste inuiolable Oracle and decrée so to doe as we prouulgate to other Whereupon it is manifeste what force godlie lawes gaue to the Prince what aucthoritie Take lawes awaie all order of states faileth the Prince by Lawe is a terrour to the malefactour his Maiestie is with all humblenesse serued feared and obeied By lawes his state maketh hym as a God emong menne at whose handes thé preseruacion of eche one of house citee and countrie is sought Seing bothe lawes and the Prince haue that honour and strength that without them a Chaos a confusion would followe in the bodie of all common wealthes and kyngdomes Let them by aucthoritie and lawe bee confounded that practise to subuerte aucthoritie to neclecte the Prince and his godlie lawes ¶ The exposition THe theife or any other iniurious persons doeth seke to bee aboue all lawes exempted from all order vnder no obedience their pestiferous dealyng dooe vtter the same For as Demosthenes the famous Orator of Athenes doeth saie If that wicked men cease not their violēce if that good men in all quietnes and securitie can not enioys their owne goddes while lawe and aucthoritie of the magistrate seuerelie and sharply vseth his aucthoritie and sword If dailie the heddes of wicked men cease not to subuerte lawes orders and decrees godlie appoincted Whiles that in all Citees and common wealthes the Princes and gouernours are by lawes a terror to them Lawes then ceasyng the dreadfull sentēce of the Iudge and Magistrate wanting The sworde vndrawen all order confounded what a confusion would followe yea what an open passage would bee lefte open to all wickednesse The terrour of Lawes the sworde and aucthoritie of the Magestrate depresseth and putteth doune the bloodie cogitacions of the wicked and so hindereth and cutteth of many horrible and bloodie enterprises Els there would bee neither Prince Lawe nor subiects no hedde or Magistrate but euery manne his owne hedde his owne lawe and Magistrate oppression and violence should bee lawe and reason and wilfull luste would bee in place of reason might force and power should ende the case Wherefore soche as no lawe no order nor reason will driue lo liue as members in a common wealthe to serue in their functiō Thei are as Homere calleth theim burdeins to the yearth for thei are of no societie linked with Nature who through wickednesse are disseuered abhorryng concorde of life societie and felowship Whom sinister and bitter stormes of fortune doe daiely vexe and moleste who in the defence of their countrie are masmed and thereby their arte and science for imbecilitie not practised all art otherwise wantyng extreme pouertee fallyng on them reason muste moue and induce all hartes to pitee chieflie their state who in defence and mainteinaunce of our Countrie Prince and to the vpholdyng of our priuate wealthe at home are become debilitated deformed and maimed els their miseries will driue them to soche hedlesse aduentures that it maie bee saied as it was saied to Alexander the Greate Thy wartes O Prince maketh many theues and peace will one daie hang them vp Wherein the Grecians as Thusidides noteth had a carefull prouidence for all soche as in the defence of their Countrie were maimed yea euen for their wiues and children of all soche as died in warre to be mainteined of the commō charge and threasure of Grece Reade his Oracion in the seconde booke niade vpon the funerall of the dedde soldiours ¶ A comparison of vices THe dronkarde in his state is beastlie the proude and arrogante persone odious the riotous and prodigall persone to be contempned the coueitous and nigardlie manne to bee reietted But who so by violence taketh a waie the goodes of an other man or by any subtill meanes iniustlie possesseth the same is detestable with all seueritée to be punished The adulterer and the harlotte who by brutishe behauiour leude affection not godlines leadyng theréto who by their vnchast behauior and wanton life doe pollute and cōtaminate their bodie in whom a pure muide ought to be reposed Who therowe beastly affection are by euill maners transformed to beastes and as moche as in theim lieth multipliyng a brutishe societie The homicide in his state more horrible accordyng to his outragious and bloodie life is to bee tormented in like sort all other vices accordyng to their mischiues reason Lawe and
