Northumberland Deira Bernicia and a teaching yea a Preaching and a conuerting King For after his returning home out of Scotland whether he had fled for feare of his too strong foes where he had enioyed protectiō with Princely liberty the space of 18. yeares and where hee together with his brother Oswy with many other yong Nobles had bene christned and confirmed in the faith by the holy Scottish Bishop Aidanus as Beda writeth he wholly gaue himselfe to the conuersion of his heathenish subiects to the Christian faith and for the same purpose he sent into Scotland for Aidanus whom he made Bishop of Lindefarne and Primate of Northumberland vnto whom also succeded diuers other holy men of the same Country namely Finanus Colmanus Cuthbertus and others Euen this godly King was accustomed to expound the Sermons and instructions which Aidanus made in the Scottish language to his people in the English Saxon tongue so that with greater reason may he be called the Prince of Preachers then was Henry the fift called the Prince of Priests as Chronicles doe beare For Oswaldus was not ashamed in his own person to teach and expound to his people the Principels of the Christian faith and that in publicke whereas the most vertuous valorous and victorius Prince Henry the fift the father of that most pious and patient Prince Henry the sixt yea and the flowre of the whole Henries and most worthy to be a patterne for our yong hopefull Henry to imitate was called the Prince of Priests for no other cause but for that he did honour and respect his Priests Prelates exceedingly and tooke a great care for their honourable prouision like another Ezekiah This blessed King Oswald though in the beginning he got a great victory ouer his too strong enemies being many more in number then he at his erected crosse in Heauen-field yet in the end he fell Iosiah-like by the heathenish hand of wicked Penda the Mercian King and that on the fift day of August being but a litle elder then our Soueraigne was on that same day of his danger Good Lord how great a lamentation was there made in the North whē as holy King Oswald fel in the field of Maxfield by the hand of the heathenish Penda the Mercian King euen such a lamentation as was made in the South when good King Iosiah fell in the field of Megiddo by the heathenish hand of the Egyptian King Pharao Necho And what great mourning should there haue beene made both North and South if our Iosiah and our Oswald being almost of the same age with them who were equall in yeares all saue one had fallen on that day with them by the hands of those two conspiring Pendas and by the reuenging hands of two hard-hearted Pharaohs For as Pharaoh is as much as reuenging in the Syrian so were they two set vpon reuenge for their father as the yonger brother did confesse But it was the Lords will that they should proue Pharao Nechos and yet that in the meane time our Iosiah should be safe That is to say that our Soueraigne should Iacob-like proue a supplanter of his enemies and so continue to be a Iosiah that is a burning light of the Lords to this land that those children of reuenge should proue lame reuengers and such as were smitten for so doe these words of Pharao Necho signifie They plotted mischiefe in their hearts and they would haue practised mischiefe with their hands and therefore the Lord made them lame in their hearts and in their hands euen both heartlesse and handlesse so that they had neither policy nor power to execute their intended and pretended reuenge yea more they were smitten both by your hand who did hit them on the teeth and thunder on them so sore that those euill men were blotted out from among men and cast away like two forlorne castawayes in so doing your worthy actions did answere vnto the signification of your surname for as Ram signifieth as much in Hebrew as high and casting away so doth Rameses signifie a thunder a hitting in the teeth and a blotting out euill At what time the sunne was in running of his Giants race being mounted on the backe of the celestiall Lion euen from Aries top to Pisces taile and that Albions Sun was running his race vnder Aries which according to Ptolomee and the Astrologians is the celestiall signe of this head-Ile of men as it is of the head of man being mounted on the backe of a Lilly-bearing Lion running as it were with the Leopard from Kentire to Kent and from Catnesse to Totnesse for the prise of the Rosen Crowne At that same time and euen when as he was come almost to his rinks end and ready to lay hold vpon the prize the Deuouring Lyon began to roare and rampe and neuer to take any rest from compassing till he had stirred vp some compassing Sheba against Dauid the beloued of the Lord as the word signifieth For Iacob hath hee loued But behold the Lion of Iudah who feedeth among the Lillies and taketh pleasure in the gathering of Lillies as the spouse in the Canticles speaketh euen he holpe his Lilly-bearing Lion and put into your Lordships yong heart the courage of a lusty Lion for the confounding of the old Deuouring Lions instruments our Lilly-Lions f●es Thus the Old Lion missed of his proiect and the Lilly-bearing-Lion ere it was long wan the prize In the spring time and in the beginning thereof when all things begin to spring and to sprout the Lilly of the North began to spring and to put forth both a white and a red floure When Phoebus the bright eye of the world had begun in the signe of Aries to ouershine the whole Hemisphere then our Phoebus the bright starre of the North began to ouershine Albions whole Isle which is vnder Aries yea and is as the heauen-fauoured head of Ilands yea of lands vnder the head of Aries as is likewise the head of mā And my wish is that the whole body of Aries may once full into his hands who hath already the head Ptolomie in his Astrological Construction Pontanus in his coelestiall things will soone shew a man what I meane Our King hee euen entred to this Crowne about that time that Almighty God entred into the world by the creation thereof and our Sauiour entred into the world for the renouatiō of the same by the assumption of our flesh euen then I say when as IESVS the sonne of MARY beganne in his blessed mothers wombe to make all thinges new IAMES the sonne of MARY began his new Kingdome At what time the Lord IESVS came downe from God in Heauen into earth amongst men to make an Vnion betweene Heauen and Earth God and Man yea and betweene Man and Man for all God and Christs actions aime at vnion at that same time came King IAMES downe from the North into the South to make an Vnion betweene
