A06083	Solon his follie, or a politique discourse, touching the reformation of common-weales conquered, declined or corrupted. By Richard Beacon ...	Becon, Richard.	1594 (1594)	STC 1653; ESTC S101151	82,861	127

or no discontentment and maintained with far lesse charge they bee founde also more faithfull and stoute defendours of the confines of the country then garrisons and therefore it is saide by a man of great vnderstanding Si reges nostri capto Ludovico 12. rege Insubriae Colonias eo misissent vt quondam Celtarum reges fecisse dicuntur Insubria a Francorum ditione ac potestate non tam facile defecisset nec vero Hispani praesidijs militaribus nulla Colonia deducta perpetuum eius regionis imperium tuebuntur sed ab imperio subditi arrepta occasione desciscant oportet non aliter quam Belgae quos iam pridem colonijs Hispanorum ad imperium retinendum coniungi necesse fuisset quoniam nec vlla vis diuturna esse potest pessimus diuturnitatis custos est metus in like manner Salamina notvvithstanding the strength of garrisons doth daily take all occasions of declining but in former times after colonies were deducted then Salamina continued for many ages in their obedience in such sorte as none durst beare vppe heade but lived as vassals and obedient people vntill partly by the iniquity of the times partly by our domesticall factions and lastly by a negligence and security then found in these colonies they were overthrowne and expelled by the native borne people of that lande all which in the act of attainder of Shane Oneile more at large may appeare as also in the statutes of Absentes Sol Nowe sith the necessity of colonies doeth manifestly appeare by vnfallible proofes and examples let vs proceede vnto the profite and benefite that grovveth thereby Epi The benefites that hereby arise to the common-weale are sundry and diverse first the people poore and seditions vvhich were a burden to the common-weale are drawen forth vvhereby the matter of sedition is remooved out of the Cittie and for this cause it is said that Pericles sent into the country of Cherronesus a thousand free men of his Cittie there to dwell and to devide the landes amongst them five hundreth also into the I le of Naxus into the I le of Andros others some he sent to inhabite Thracia and others to dwell with the Bisaltes as well thereby to ridde the Cittie of a number of idle persons who thorough idlenes began to be curious and to desire chaunge of thinges as also to provide for the necessity of the poore towns-men that had nothing which being naturall Citizens of Athens served as garrisons to keepe vnder those which had a desire to rebell or to attempt any alterateration or change secondly by translating of colonies the people conquered are drawen and intised by little and little to embrace the manners lawes and governement of the conquerour lastly the colonies being placed and dispersed abroade amongest the people like Beacons doe foretell and disclose all conspiracies and as a garrison also are wont to suppresse the mutinies of such as are desirous of alteration and change and to this effect it is saide in the statute of Absen●es that the colonies which were sometimes deducted for the defending of the confines of Salamina then and many ages after abiding in the saide lande did nobly and valiantly defende the same against all enemies whatsoever as also kept the same in such tranquillity good orders as the kings had due subiection of the inhabitance the lawes were well obeyed and of all the revenewes and regalties they were duely aunswered as in any place whatsoever lastly they yeelde a yearely rent profite or service vnto the crovvne for ever for these causes above rehearsed it is saide Romani victis hostibus Colonias deducebant and the French conquering Lombardy did chase out the auncient inhabitants and in their dwelling placed colonies in like manner the Emperour of the Turkes from time to time of Christians whome then he reduced in servitude deduceth colonies so as it is saide that Carolus 5. imperator debellatis Pernanae regionis gentibus eadem quam Turcarum rex in coloniarum translatione ratione vsus est Sol Nowe sith as well the necessity as the profite of deducing colonies doth sufficiently appeare vnto vs let vs proceede vnto the manner and order of translating of colonies as the thirde matter vvoorthy of consultation Epi In the order and manner of deducting collonies certaine rules are to bee observed first that the lands be so devided as strengths by great numbers may be deducted and therefore Duo cuique iugera tributa sunt but not long after Prolatis finibus lege Licinia septem iugera cuique civi assignata legimus the which order was observed by the Romaines But otherwise the Emperour of the Turkes iugera quindecim cuique attribuit The Romaines laboured to deduct colonies by great numbers especially out of the confines of Italy to the ende that by the proper strength and forces of colonies they might easilie defende the confines of their dominions and suppresse al such as were founde desirous of innovation Secondly we are to plant and place our colonies in the most rich and fruitfull landes Vt in eo civibus numero auctis alimenta suppetant potentiaque auctae huiusmodi novae vrbes omnem internam vim propulsare atque etiam opprimere queant Thirdly such as are to be deducted in the number of colonies we shall wisely make them but proprietaries of the landes during life onely Vt fructuarij occasu fructus in aerarium cogerentur quoad principis beneficio alius succederet quemadmodum Amurates cum Timariolis egit by vvhich constitution three matters beneficiall to the weale publicke shall arise first opportunity shall be lent from time to time to recompence servitours by these casuall profites that shall arise without imposing any newe charge vpon the common-weale secondly by the death of this tenaunt for life the profites thereof growe vnto the prince vntill the landes be newly disposed by him thirdly the prince or state being to dispose these landes at his or their pleasure shall with this rewarde binde the proprietarie of the lande during life in all services to be loyall and faithfull lastly by holding this course sundrie inconveniences shall be eschewed which vsually followe such as graunte these landes in perpetuity for in such cases they have beene founde in Salamina especially after two or three descentes to inter-marry and foster with the meere native people and by that occasion decline sometimes from their obedience at other times they are founde to make leases of their landes or to make a grant over of their estates vnto such as are not well affected vnto the governement to the overthrowe of themselves and common-weale as it may appeare in the statute of Absentes where it is saide that the colonies being possessed of their landes did make leases of diverse of their holdes and manners vnto the late Earle of Kildar attainted by occasion whereof the same came to the possession of Thomas Fitz Garralde his sonne and heire who intending a daungerous rebellion was aided assisted

Princes which have not a collected power and force and such as doeth farre exceede the strength and power of the people are no farther to satisfie the souldiour then iustice his desertes and the lawes of the lande shall require Therefore Carolus passing manie countries where the forces of his souldiers were inferiour to the people did streightly commaunde that they shoulde abstaine from committing of vvronges and iniuries Sol This vvhich you have saide agreeth vvith reason but sometimes not vvith the necessity of times vvhich vvas never yet subiect to humane discretion Epi It must be confessed that the times of warres and peace are not all one but yet as vvell in the times of vvarres as also in times peaceable we ought to shew our selves studious in delivering the people from oppression For vvhat hope may we have of those cities vbi milites in cives graviùs quam in hostes grassantur CAP. 8. The readie waies and meanes to resist all occasions of declining which maie arise by the oppression of the Souldiers SOL Then we shall readily performe the same if we shall remove the occasions which are in number two namely the want of pay and want of other discipline for if the souldier vvere well paied and offending by martiall discipline well punished all disorders by these meanes would be easily reformed Epi You saie well payment ought first to be made and then discipline exercised for disciplinam inquit Cassiodorus servare non potest icinnu● exercitus dum quod deest semper praesumat armatus Sol But ought this payment to be made at the charge of the Prince or of the subiects Epi At the common charge of the subiects because it is a common safegard 〈◊〉 benefite which equally redoundeth to all Sol You say well for garrisons are placed for naught else but to garde the good subiect from the sodain invasion or oppression of the enemy or rebell and if they ought to defray the charge that reape the benefite then every subiect shoulde make equall contribution herein Epi Wee doe agree herein that payment ought to be made at the common charge of the subiect but convenient it were that this charge were drawne to a contribution certaine for where the contributions are altogither vncertaine by the waie of cease or otherwise there the people are vsuallie oppressed and the Prince vvearied with complaints or the same reiecting the people take occasion thereby to mutinie and rebell Therefore wisely Henricus secundus rex Francorum nostra aetate tributum imperarat Anno. 1549. Quod vulgus talionum appellavit testatus seid militum stipendio daturum ne cum caeteris vectigalibus conturbaretur vt plebs abiniurijs ac direptionibus militum tuta esset At an other time payment was made by certaine citties for the maintenaunce of tenne legions vt ab incensionibus ac direptionibus militum tutae essent In like manner the counsel of Athens by receiving a composition certaine from the handes of the subiect in liew of cease and duties vncertaine have thereby mightily quieted and pacified the subiect augmented the publike treasury and advaunced and reformed that governement Epi Shew vs I pray you the order and manner of the compositition Sol The first composition taken for the west partes was framed after this maner as it may appeare by this president vvhich I doe here deliver vnto you By the Lorde President and Counsell of Mounster Whereas Iohn Mac Conoghor of Corbally in the County of Waterforde gentleman complained vnto vs that he holding and occupying two plough landes in Corbally aforesaide the same being charged with cease and other impositions vncertaine he desired to yeeld a yearely rent out of the same to her Maiestie in respect of the saide cease and other 〈…〉 charges to the maintenance of the houshold of the Presidencie or otherwise that by occasion may be imposed vppon the saide County and therefore hath graunted and compounded for him and his heires to pay to her Maiesties vse yearelie out of the saide two plough landes the summe of fortie shillings sterling which being by vs on hir Maiesties part and behalfe accepted We will and require you and every of you from hence forth in no wise to charge and impose or suffer to be charged or imposed the saide landes or any part thereof with any her Maiesties cease of horsemen horse boyes kearne galloglasse biefe mutton porke corne subsidie or any other charge or provision whatsoever tending or belonging to her Maiesties service by waie of cease to be demaunded or challenged In witnesse whereof I the said Iohn have to this parte of the Indenture remaining with the saide Lorde President set to my hand and seale the xxvi of October 1577. Epi I finde sundry matters observed in the making of this composition worthy to be commended First for that the same was effected with the consentes of the subiectes and not forced and commaunded as sometimes the Israelites were by Samuel which in his oration vnto the people saide Regem habituri estis qui decimas fructuum vobis imperaturus est neither here are they pressed by the authority of any duke of Albane to render the tenth part of all things vendable Vnde porro Belgarum ab Hispanis rebellantium orta seditio Sol I hold reasonable tributes to be a matter of so great importaunce and necessity as Princes may lawfully commande and exact the same at the hands of the subiect and therefore saith one Quid enim restaret quo princeps imperium tueri possit sublatis portorijs ac tributis And therefore when Nero offered to acquite and deliver the subiect of all tributes and impositions wisely the Senate after thankes rendred vnto Nero disswaded the fact Ne Respub aere diruta momento collaberetur saying though many seditious persons desirous of innovatiō have promised the people immunitie of all tributes and impositions yet to graunt the same it were altogither vnlawefull and if it were lawful yet ought you not to do the same for the safety of the common-weale Cum eo veluti firmamento Resp nitatur Epi Be it so that they may commaunde a matter so necessary for the sustaining and vpholding of the common-weale yet for the avoiding of sedition and the discontentment of the people their consentes are required the time also is to bee regarded the nature of the common-weale is to be respected and lastly the imployment of those tributes ought to be vnto publike vses For Princes in the beginning of their governement are not to impose tributes fearing least the ten tribes for this cause shall rebell and that a new king be chosen in the place of Roboham But at such times they shal more wisely with the Frēch King being newly possessed of the Duchey of Milbaine acquite discharge the people of al tributes which did mightilie as then advance his conquest Againe the nature and condition of the common-wealth is a matter no lesse worthy of consideration then the time for if the
