haue since that tyme so much wondred at The first that began to giue increase to it was Philip Duke of Burgoyne surnamed the hardy who was brothe● to king Charles the fifth the sonne of king Iohn and graundsonne of king Philip of Ualoys of which kinges your heighnesse is lineally descended from the father to the son For the first Duke of Orleance of whome your heighnes is lineally desended from the father to the sonne was the sonne of King Charles y ● fift as now there be no moe heirs males of the sayde Duke of Orleance but onely your heighnesse and the kinge your brother Whereby it falleth out that the Dukes of Burgoyne are great vncles to your highnesse by the fathers side And therfore wee doubte not but you will followe the footesteppes of their vertues in restoring the state of the Countrie to her auncient renoume and dignitie and also mainteine and increase the honour wherevnto it hath beene aduaunced by those noble princes your Uncles The second duke vnder whom this state hath beene greatly aduaunced was Iohn the second Neuerthelesse it came not to full perfection til y ● time of Philip the second In which perfection it was maintained by Charles y ● last duke of Burgoyne so long as ●e liued The said Philip y ● second to whom y ● honour of stablishing that state most peculiarlye belongeth was one of the most knightlye and val●aunt Princes of his tyme. Hee wan the victorie in nine foughten fieldes in most of the which hee was put to the tryall and hazarde of his person by fighting with his own handes He was a very sage Prince and such a one as had to deale with the greatest Princes in Christendome of whom some were his aduersaries and yet hee behaued himselfe so wisely that he atchieued all thinges to his honour whatsoeuer hee tooke in hande Also hee was very rich insomuch that for all his wars which lasted aboue thirtie yeares hee lefte behinde him more substance and readye monie then any other Prince of his time as the Writers of the hystories of that age doe witnesse vnto vs. And yet notwithstanding for al these great vertues and qualities of his he was not named Philip the sage nor Philip the valiaunt nor Philip the rich but Phillip the good So well doe al folke by generall consent vnderstande which is the vertue that best beseemeth and becōmeth a great Prince and is best lyked of his people namely that a Prince bee good and louing to his subiectes Surely Syr all men hope that your Heighnesse will followe the example of that good Prince the first bringer of the state of this Countrie to perfection a right noble and renoumed prince of the house of France And we praise God for that as manye as haue had the honour to come into your heighnesse presence yeelde record that you haue very great likelyhods of these vertues which we prays God so to accōplish and make perfect in you as al his people may to your great honour receiue the perfect and rype fruits of them And this doe al the rest of the people desire as wel as we Howbeit we haue a most humble suite to make perticularly to your heighnes which we most humbly beseech you to graunt The thing that induceth vs to doe it is that you beare the name of Frauncis For as oft as we heare that name named the remembraunce of that great king Frauncis your heighnesse graundfather commeth to our minde He was a right valiant couragious noble and godlye Prince and yet notwithstanding all the nations of the earth did by one common consent surname him the Father of learning For of a truth since that Emperour and great king of Fraunce called Charles the great there was neuer any king of Fraunce that so heighly fauoured learning as this great king Frauncis And as the sayd king Charles was the founder of the famous vniuersitie of Paris so was king Frauncis the restorer thereof againe and both of them to their great costes charges called men of excellent knowledge thither out of straung countries to teach the languages al kindes of artes and sciences The house of this great king Frauncis was as an vniuersitie and his table was a place of conference concerning al maner of learning And like as other great Princes of his time following his example inriched their dominions and kingdomes with learned men and learning so wee most humbly beseech your heighnes to follow the example of this great king your grandfather in doing the like and to make singular account of learning and to take the professours thereof vnder your protection True it is Syr that through the malice of men war is commōly the ouerthrower of fearning But if a great Prince set himself against the mischiefe he may easily stoppe it Our desire is not that your heighnes shoulde neglect the exercise of chiualrie for to giue your selfe to studie but to follow so the one ●s the other be not left of and forgotten For as we haue seene many cōmonweales florish so long as they professed chiualrie and learning together yet haue falne into the hands of their enemies euen in the chiefe flowre of their skil in sciences by reason of their discontinuing of their former trade of armes after which maner it befel to the Atheniās to come into subiection to the kinges of Macedonie so y ● people which haue professed armes alone without learning haue alwayes become barbarous cruell and vtterly destitute of all humanitie as we see at this day by the Tartars and Moscouits And therfore to our seeming a man may well say that chiualrie is the foundation and sinewes of a commonweale and that learning garnisheth and beauti●eth the body thereof with liuelye and freshe colours seruing it for inrichments and ornaments In respect whereof as wee meant not to desire your heighnesse to forget those which make profession of chiualrie whome you ought to imbrace as your strength so we most humbly beseech you to vouchsafe to succour learning and to maintaine learned men with your gratious fauour Sir very needeful causes moue vs to make this humble petition to your highnes first for that we being professors of learning ought to haue learning in singular estimation and to procure if it be possible for vs that the fruite of the thinges which we haue inioyed for a time may be conueied to our posteritie and secondly for the othes sake which we haue taken at the time of our proceeding in our degrees which is to maintain and further the schooles and learning of the vniuersitie in what degree soeuer wee come vnto And therefore wee hope that your heighnesse will doe vs the honour to take this most humble request of ours in good parte As touching our own persons we promise your heighnesse all obedience faithfulnesse and subtection and that according to our small abilitie wee will doe our indeuour towardes such as we may haue accesse vnto
