A02726	An exhortacion to the Scottes to conforme them selfes to the honorable, expedie[n]t, and godly vnion, betwene the twoo realmes of Englande and Scotlande.	Harrison, James, fl. 1547.	1547 (1547)	STC 12857; ESTC S103818	29,237	128

of ecclcsiasticall writers called Venerabilis the comming of the Scottes into Britayne was not vntyll about the yere of Christ cccc xliij which was long after the comming of the Pictes to whose opinion though he was a Saxon I would soner assent then to the new fonde fables of our Scottishe Poetes framed vpoÌ„ phaÌ„tasie without auctoritie precedeÌ„t AND for the further profe of this Monarchie it is reade in the tyme of Lucius whiche was the firste christen Kynge of the Britaynes as is said afore ther were in Britayne .iii. high Prestes or Bishoppes Idolaters of the Heathen religion called Archiflamines and .xxviii. other inferiour Bishoppes of the same supersticion called Flamines In stede of whom this godly King ordeined as many Bishoppes or Christes religion thre Archebishoppes placinge the first at LondoÌ„ the second at Yourke and the thirde in the citie of Legions whiche at this day is called Chester To the prouince of Yourke there belonged all the Northe parte of Britayne now called Scotlande with the orcades And notwitstanding all the mutatioÌ„s happening in processe of yeres yet al the Bishops of those countreys came vnto Yorke to becoÌ„secrated of the Arch bishop there and promised obedieÌ„ce vnto him as to their Metropolitane hed bishop albeit by occasion of warres they were suÌ„mewhiles letted so to do And of latter dayes that is to saye in the tyme of Henry the .ij. Kynge of Englande which was about the yere of Christ a M.C. .lv. the Englishe historie sheweth that Michaell Bishop of Glascow and after him Tothadus Bisshop of saincte Andrewes were coÌ„secrated by Thomas Archebishop of Yourk If my couÌ„treymen beleue me not in thys point let them beleue the Bulles of Paschall Calixte Honorius Innocentius Eugenius and Adrianus Bishoppes of Rome written to the Bishops of Scotlande so as any of theym were rebell or would not acknowledge the Archebishop of Yourke Primate of Scotland for their head Bisshop This I alledge to shewe that the two realmes at the first were not onely vnited in one Empire but also in one ReligioÌ„ the superioritie wherof seynge it so longe continued in the English side proueth in that part a certayn kynde of subieccion in Scottes whyche I passe ouer But nowe hauinge sufficiently alleged to proue that al we were Britaynes at the beginning come of one kynde and liuinge vnder one Monarchie brokeÌ„ by diusion and ciuil discorde as is shewed before there restethe to disproue the fayned alligacions of the coÌ„trary part which coÌ„uey you froÌ„ Pharao the tyraunt of Egipt And as it is to coÌ„iecture if their willes might take place thei would bryng you vnder the seruitude of Egypte again But before I touche the argumeÌ„t according to my promisse at the beginning I must in part disclose the aucthors therof whose vntrouthes though I passe ouer yet will they bewrey it them selfes for it is not vnknoweÌ„ what persons they be that take vpon them to write stories and Cronicles both in England Scotlande which for the more parte be Monkes and Fryers suche as in name professe Religion beyng in dede the peruerters of all true Religion These men issuyng from the prince of darkenesse brougte vp in darkenes maynteined by darkenes seke nothing so muche as to kepe the worlde in darkenes not without cause for if their state shuld come to light the people should espye howe they are plantes not planted by the heauenly Father but to be pulled vp by the rootes Which thiÌ„g beiÌ„g well perceiued by the most noble king of immortal memory Henry the VIII of Englande like a prince no lesse Godly then prudent cleuyng in that part to Christes worde weded out of his realme those wicked plantes not onely unprofitable to his commoÌ„ wealth but also enemies to all veritie and true Religion whose example if we of Scotlande had the grace to folow I would nothyng dispaire of an honorable and Godly concorde betwene bothe realmes in shorte time that without suche warre and effusion of bloud as this deuillish generacion hath procured But to the purpose these men I saie after sthaÌ„ was let lose had filled the whole world full of tumult sedicioÌ„ ragyng with fire sworde against the Gospel which euen then began to geue light in Britain as Oules not apperyng in the day nesteled theÌ„selfes in the nighte of that ignorauÌ„t worlde hauyng as mete a tyme to crepe into the conscieÌ„ces of the simple Britaynes as euer Saxons or Danes had to inuade their laÌ„d and countrey So apperyng to theim with a visor of simplicitie and holines semyng laÌ„bes outwardly and neuerthelesse Wolues inwardlie gat credite of vertue and Godlinesse And seeyng the Coccle whiche their father Sathan had sowen emong the Corne so faire commyng vp because the haruest should be weedes watered the yearth with suche abundante showers of lyes and fables that the wedes ouergrowying the corne the cropp was accordyng to the seede and with suche kynde of breade haue thei fedde the silly people vtteryng their dreames and muencions in stede of trouthes verities For as Kytes bryng furthe no culuers no more can the father of falshed bryng furthe children of truthe qualis pater talis filius thei then beyng the impes of so euill a tree muste of congruence bryng furthe fruite like to them selfes whiche was well sene in those dayes For what through mischiefe mortalitie raised by theim on the one side And what through preaching lies phantasies on the other side not only Gods woorde but also all other knowledge hath been obscured whereof ensued vniuersal ignorauÌ„ce who being ioyned with error brought furth an vnhappie babe called contencioÌ„ whoÌ„ thei haue moste teÌ„derly fostered euer since not onely ministryng matter thereof in pulpittes and stoles but also in their stories and chronicles myngelyng the same with so many sedicious falshodes as it is in doubte whether the lines or lies bee mo in number And because it were long to reherse al their lesynges and vanities beyng to many to be well numbered and to apparaunt to be hidden for all bee poudered with like peper yet in the Scottishe story a greate part of their practises is to bee seen and that eueÌ„ at the very beginnyng wher at if thei stumble what shall we iudge of the reste If the matter wer onely Poetical or upon desire to shewe an auncient beginnyng it might happely be borne and yet scarse in a storie the law whereof is to affirme nothyng that is false to hyde nothyng that is true neither to bee ledde with fauor ne hatered But seeyng the thyng is doen of a sette purpose for norishyng diuision in the twoo Realmes I cannot ouer passe it with silence GATHELVS sonne of Cecrops kyng of Athens or Argiues beeyng banished oute of Grece with certain other fugitiues cam into Egipt in the time of the greate tyraunt Pharao whiche persecuted the childreÌ„ of Israell In his daies the Mootes entered into Egipt and had broughte the lande vnto

vtter ruine had not the kyng by gods commaundemeÌ„t committed his armie vnto Moses But after that Gathelus was come and had wonne a battail against the Moores Moses and his coÌ„pany grewe out of fauor and were fain to flee out of Egipt into Inde Then was Gathelus made lieuetenaunt of Pharaos army and for his valeauÌ„t seruice obteined Scota the Kynges sister in mariage with all the landes lately taken from the people of Israell After the deathe of this Pharao reigned his sonne Bochoris whiche oppressed Gods people with more tyranny then his father did But after the God had sent greate plagues emong the Egipcians Gathelus vnder standyng by the prophetes that greater were like to folowe forsooke Egipte in the yere of the creacion of the world .iii. M.vj. C.xliij He with Scota his wife their children seruauntes Grekes and Egipcians came out of the mouthe of Nilus and passyng by the sea called Mediterraneum toke land in Numidie and after he arriued into a part of Spayne then called Lusitania whiche because of his arriual there had the name of Portyngale as one would saie the porte of Gathele THIS is a greate stomble at the thressholde of the dore for it is plain by histories that Lusitania was not called Portyngale almost by a M. yeres after this supposed tyme. But for the better triall let vs examine the circumstaunces of the persone time and place And for the persone we will admit Gathelus to be the kyng of Athens sonne although no suche name is found in the Greke histories and wee will admitte Pharao to haue a doughter thoughe no historie Greke or Egipt mencion of any suche But when wee haue admitted the persons al the doubt is how we shall couple theim in mariage For accomptyng the tyme of Pharaos reigne father of Scota after the Hebrues then was she in the yere of the creacion of the worlde twoo thousand foure hundred yeres and by our histories Gathelus was in the yere of the creacion of the world three thousand sixe hundred fortie and three whiche is differente twelfe hundred yeres and more THIS beinge true here were a very vnfitte mariage betwene these twoo persones the Bridegrome beinge elder then the Bride by .xii. C. and .xl. yeres But some wiseman will saye the folke liued loÌ„g in those daies yet can thei not denye but she was to olde a mayde for so yonge a bachelar whereby I can worse beleue that they had any childreÌ„ she beinge of suche yeares So that to make this mariage frame either Gathelus was elder then his father or she was yonger then her brother by a thousande yeares at the leaste And syns the tyme of Abraham men by course of nature haue not coÌ„ monlie lyued much aboue a C. yeares And this is ouer plaine to be excused as a faulte of the writer seing the whole course of our historie dependeth vpon the tyme. If she then coulde be doughter to none of the Pharaoes no more coulde he be sonne to any of the kynges of Athens And in the tyme that Gathelus liued which is alledged to be in the yeare of the worlde .iii. M.vi C.xliii there were no kinges in Athens but it was gouerned by certayne Rulers as a free estate If this then be false in the originall we muste iudge in the sequele which is of their coÌ„ming into Spaine and of their sonne Hyber afterwardes into Irelande of whome it is called Hybernia with all the processe of the historie no lesse vnlikelie For if either the SpaÌ„yardes inhabitinge Galicia or the Irishe men that now be had comme of Grekes or Egyptians then of likelyhode some parte of their speache or language should remain there The vocables souÌ„ des of which toÌ„gues be asmuch differente in sounde as the voices of men and the noise of dogges But seinge this priuiledge hath been geueÌ„ vnto antiquitie that to make their fame moore highe and honorable they myghte referre their beginninge to the Goddes and thoughe the same were more like Poetes fableis then syncere histories yet to be taken for true Soo woulde not I trauaile so muche in disprofe of these trifles but because I se that as thei were at the first inuented for diuision by new diuersitie of names so thei be continued at this daie for like purposes Suche practises haue bene vsed in Italie betweene Guelfes and Gibilines and in Hollande betwene Hukeis and Cabellawes and other where by newe founde names inueÌ„ted by the chyldren of perdicion to set vs at diuision euen as they by diuersitie of sectes names are diuided from the vnitie of Christes religioÌ„ I nede not to name them for those coÌ„panioÌ„s be wel enough knowne by their coates and hodes whome as I do not reproue of hatered to their persones no moore do I impugne their histories for enuy at oure nacion whose honor if I should not earnestly seke I mought be compted moste vnnaturall but that I se what sedicion is sowen by ouer much credite vnto their fables and inuencions which I suppose hath been a greate lette to the coÌ„corde that all good meÌ„ desire For seinge the beginninges of people cannot be certainely knowen but onely vnto God whiche was afore al beginning it shal be better to admitte some thinges for true the contrarye wherof cannot be proued then to labor in vayne where the truth cannot be tried But this thing which is apparauntelye false repugnaunte to reason and not onely against al other histories but also contrary in it self yea againste the scripture founded vpoÌ„ falsehode mainteined vpoÌ„ malice and sette forthe to the diuision of two Realmes I thoughte it no vnprofitable labor to impugne lamentinge that in a Chronicle so exactelic written so eloquentelie set furthe there shoulde wante veritie the cheife grounde of al historie whishing vnto the aucthor asmuch wante of malice affeccion as he hath plentie of witte and learninge An other argumeÌ„t I gather out of the same historie where it is confessed that after the Britaynes inhabiting Scotlande were expulsed by the Pictes thei with their wifes childreÌ„ fledde into Ireland where thei continewed xlv yeares together Duringe which time by reason of biynge and selliÌ„g marriyng and other trauffique with the Irishe people their name touÌ„gue was a great part altered lost Yet as our histories shew the posteritie of those people comming afterwardes vnto the possessioÌ„ of their countrey to kepe in memorie of what kinde thei were come called them selfes Realbines the is to saye Albines again for a knowledge as it should seme aswel of their kindered as of their restitutioÌ„ coÌ„ming againe which is a better profe to shew vs disceÌ„ded of Albanactus according to the English historie then to saie the Realbines is vnderstaÌ„ded kinges of Albion as the traÌ„slator of Boetius historie interpretethe As though it werlike that those fewe whiche had put foote but in the smallest and most barrain porcion of the Isle should call theÌ„selfes kinges of Albion when thei
