AS in Nature there is hardly a Poyson growing any where but in the same place there groweth an Antidote against it so in Nations seldome do the loose principles of Licentiousness Rebellion and Disorder prevail so universally but that in the same Nation the more excellent principles of Reason Religion Laws and Allegiance bear up against them Various have been the shapes and pretences under which the Lusts of men for all the disorders in the world are nothing else but Lust casting off the restraint God hath laid upon it by Government have indeavoured since God set up Government to keep men civil and quiet in this world as he did Religion to prepare them for another world to shake and invalidate the obligations both of Religion and Government in all places of the world for most pretences last but an Age in which time they are looked through exploded abhorred and must be shifted How men willing to live at the highest freedom of a loose Nature have in this Nation endeavoured in several generations to overthrow all the Checks Restraints Rules and Disciplines of Religion is not so properly the business of this place as it is commonly the subject of every discourse elswhere The pretentions and appearances under which those that have made a pretty good shift to suppress all those Principles of Honesty Sobriety and Obedience that Religion curbed them withal within
a Member of the House whereupon Sir William wept Secondly That he should say at the Castle of Dublin that Ireland was a Conquered Nation and that the King might do with them what he pleased and speaking of the Charters of that City averred that their Charters were nothing worth and did bind the King no further than he pleased The Earles Reply That if he had been over liberal of his Tongue for want of discretion yet could not his words amount to Treason unless they had been revealed within fourteen dayes as he was informed As to the Charge he said True it is he said Ireland was a Conquered Nation which no man can deny and that the King is the Law-giver in matters not determined by Acts of Parliament be conceived all Loyal Subjects would grant 3. That R. Earl of Cork having sued out a Process in Course of Law for Recovery of possessions out of which he was put by an order of the Earl of Strafford and the Council of Ireland the said Earl threatned to Imprison him if he did not surcease his suit saying That he would have neither Law nor Lawyers dispute or question any of his Orders And when the said Earl of Cork said that an Act of King Iames his Council there about a Lease of his was of no force the Earl of Strafford replyed That he would make the said Earl know and all Ireland too so long as he had the Government there that any Act of State there should be obeyed as well as an Act of Parliament The Earles Reply It were hard measure for a Man to loose his Honour and his Life for an hasty word or because he is no wiser than God hath made him As for the words he confessed them to be true and thought he said no more then what became him considering how much his Majesties honour was concerned in him that if a proportionable obedience was not as well due to Acts of State as to Acts of Parliament in vain did Councils sit And that he had done no more than what former Deputies had done and than what was agreeable to his Instructions from the Council-Table which he produced and that if those words were Treason they should have been revealed within fourteen days 4. That the said Earl of Strafford 12 Decemb. 1635. in time of peace sentenced the Lord Mount-Norris a Peer Vice-Treasurer Receiver-General Principal Secretary of State and Keeper of the Privy Signet in Ireland and another to death by a Councel of War without Law or offence deserving such punishment The Earles Reply That there was then a standing Army in Ireland and Armies cannot be governed but by Martial Law That it hath been put in constant practice with former Deputies That had the sentence been unjustly given by him the Crime could amount but to Felony at most for which he hoped he might as well expect from his Majesty as the Lord Conway and Sir Jacob Astley had for doing the like in the late Northern Army That he neither gave sentence nor procured it against the Lord Mount-Norris but onely desired Iustice against the Lord for some affront done to him as he was Lord Deputy of Ireland That the said Lord was judged by a Council of War wherein he sate bare all the time and gave no suffrage against him that also to evidence himself a party he caused his Brother Sir George Wentworth in regard of the nearness of Blood to decline all acting in the Procejs Lastly Though the Lord Mount-Norris justly deserved to die yet he obtained his Pardon from the King 5. That he had upon a Paper-Petition of R. Rolstone without any legal Tryal disseized the Lord Mount-Norris of a Free-hold whereof he was two years in quiet possession The Earles Reply That he conceived the Lord Mount-Norris was legally divested of his Possessions there being a suit long depending in Chancery and the Plaintiff complaining of delay he upon the Complainants Petition called unto him the Master of the Rolls Lord Chancellor and Lord Chief Iustice of the Common-Pleas and upon â— roofs in Chancery Deâ—reed for the Plaintiff wherein he said he did no more then what other Deputies had done before him 6. That a Case of Tenures upon defective Titles was by him put to the Judges of Ireland and upon their opinion the Lord Dillon and others were dispossessed of their Inheritances The Earles Reply That the Lord Dillon with others producing his Patent according to a Proclamation in the behalf of his Majesty the said Patent was questionable upon which a Case was drawn and argued by Council and the Iudges delivered their Opinions But the Lord Dillon or any other was not bound thereby nor put out of their Possessions but might have Traverst their Office or otherwise have Legally proceeded notwithstanding the said Opinion 8. That he October 1635. upon Thomas â—Hibbots Petition to the Council voted against the Lady Hibbots though the major part of the Council were for her and threatned her with 500l Fine and Imprisonment if she disobeyed the Council-Order entred against her the Land being conveyed to Sir Robert Meredith for his use The Earls Reply That true it is he had voted against the Lady Hibbots and thought he had reason so to do the said Lady being discovered by fraud and Circumvention to have bargained for Lands of a great value for a small Sum. And he denied that the said Lands were after sold to his use viz. That the major part of the Council-board voted for the Lady the contrary appearing by the Sentence under the hand of the Clerk of the Councâ—l which being true he might well threaten her with Commitment in case she disobeyed the said Order Lastly Were it true that he were Criminal therein yet were the Offence but a Misdemeanor no Treason 9. That he granted Warrants to the Bishop of Down and Connor and other Bishops their Chancellors and several Officers to Attach such mean people who after citation refused either to appear or undergo or perform such Orders as were enjoyned The Earles Reply That such Writs had been usually granted by former Deputies to Bishops in Ireland nevertheless being not fully satisfyed with the convenience thereof he was sparing in granting them until being informed that divers in the Diocesse of Down were somewhat refractory he granted Warrants to that Bishop and hearing of some disorders in the execution he called them in again 10. That he having Farmed the Customes of Imported and exported merchandise Inhanced the prices of the Native commodities of Ireland and caused them to be rated in the Book of Rates for the Customes according to which the Customes were gathered five times more than they were worth The Earles Reply That his interest in the Customes of Ireland accrewed to him by the Assignation of a Lease from the Dutchess of Buckingham That the Book of Rates by which the Customes were gathered was the same which was established by the Lord Deputy Faulkland Anno. 1628. some
Crimes you see answered when named made up into a Charge that was its own Reply and therefore barely set down by me without any reflection save their own nature and self-confutation What is ridiculous need only be shewed But hear the good man himself that had so often interceded for others to God pleading for himself before men I. To his Charge in General My Lords MY being in this place in this condition recalls to my memory that which I long since read in Seneca Tormentum est etiamsi absolutus quis fuerit causam dixisse 6. de Benef. c. 28. 'T is not a grief only no 't is no less than a torment for an ingenuous man to plead Capitally or Criminally though it should so fall out that he be absolved The great truth of this I finde at present in my self and so much the more because I am a Christian and not that only but in Holy-orders and not so only but by Gods grace and goodness preferred to the greatest place this Church affords and yet brought Causam dicere to plead for my self at this Bar. And whatsoever the world think of me and they have been taught to think much more ill of me then I humbly thank Christ for it I was ever acquainted with yet My Lords this I finde Tormentum est 't is no less than a torment to me to appear in this place Nay my Lords give me leave to speak plain truth No sentence that can justly pass upon me and other I will never fear from your Lordships can go so near me as Causam dicere to plead for my self upon this occasion and in this place For as for the Sentence be it what it shall I thank God for it I am for it at Saint Pauls ward Acts 25. 11. If I have committed any thing worthy of death I refuse not do dye For I thank God I have so lived as that I am neither afraid to dye nor ashamed to live But seeing the Malignity which hath been raised against me by some men I have carried my very life in my hands these divers years past But yet my Lords if there be none of these things whereof they accuse me though I may not in this Case and from this Bar appeal unto Caesar yet to your Lordships Iustice and Integrity I both may and do not doubting but that God of his goodness will preserve my innocency And as Iob in the midst of his affliction said to his mistaken Friends so shall I to my Accusâ—râ— God forbid I should justifie you till I dye I will not remove my Integrity from me I will hold it fast and not let it go my heart shall not reproach me as long as I live Job 22. 5. My Lords the Charge against me is brought up in ten Articles but the main heads are two An endeavor to subveâ—t the Laws of the Land and the Religion established Six Articles the fift first and the last concern the Laws and the other four Religion For the Laws first I think I may safely say I have been to my understanding as strict an observer of them all the days of my life so far as they concern me as any man hath and since I came into place I have followed them and been as much gâ—ided by them as any man that sat where I had the honor to sit And of this I am sorry I have lost the testimony of the Lord Keeper Coventry and other persons of Honor since dead And the Council which attended at the Council-board can witness some of them here present that in all references to the Board or debates arising at the Board I was for that part of the cause where I found Law to be and if the Council desired to have the cause left to the Law well I might move in some cases Charity or Conscience to them but I left them to the Law if thither they would go And how such a carriage as this through the whole course of my life in private and publick can stand with an intention to overthrow the Laws I cannot yet see Nay more I have ever been of opinion That Laws binde the Conscience and have accordingly made Conscience of observing them and this doctrine I have constantly preached as occasion hath been offered me and how is it possible I should seek to overthrow those Laws which I held my self bound in Conscience to keep and observe As for Religion I was born and bred up in and under the Church of England as it stands established by Law I have by Gods blessingâ— grown up in it to the years which are now upon me and to the place of Preferment which I now bear I have ever since I have understood ought in my profession kept one constant tenor in this my profession without variation or shifting from one opinion to another for any worldly ends And if my conscience would have suffered me to do so I could easily have slid through all the difficulties which I have prest upon me in this kinde But of all diseases I have held a Palsey in Religion most dangerous well knowing and remembring that disease often ends in a dead Palsie Ever since I came in place I have laboured nothing more than that the external publick worship of God so much slighted in divers parts of this Kingdom might be preserved and that with as much decency and uniformity as might be for I evidently saw that the publick neglect of Gods service in the outward face of it and the nasty lying of many places dedicated to that Service had almost cast a damp upon the true and inward worship of God which while we live in the body needs exterial helps and all little enough to keep it in any vigor And thus I did to the uttermost of my knowledge according both to Law and Canon and with the consent and liking of the people nor did any Command issue out from me against the one or without the other Further my Lords give me leave I beseech you to acquaint you with this also that I have as little acquaintance with Recusants as I believe any man of my place of England hath or ever had sithence the Reformation and for my kindred no one of them was ever a Recusant but Sir William Web Grandchild to my Unkle Sir William Web sometimes Lord Mayor of London and since which some of his Children I reduced back again to the Church of England On this one thing more I humbly desire may be thought on That I am fallen into a great deal of obloquie in matter of Râ—ligion and that so far as appears by the Articles against me that I have indeavoured to advance and bring in Popery Perhaps my Lords I am not ignorant what party of men have raised these scandals upon me nor for what end nor perhaps by whom set on but howsoever I would fain have a good reason given me if my conscience stood that way and that with my
other places being more than the Inhabitants by Whaley with a 1000. Foot and four Troops of Horse who lay before it ten weeks ere Sir William would hearken to any terms as nobly angry with the Fortune of his Cause as disdainfully vext with the disparagement of the siege the Castle able to defie their intire Army having defeated a far by countermining under-ground and throwing Stones and Granadoes above ground yielded not till the whole Kingdom submitted against which it had been folly to loose themselves in an unequal and vain contest to Providence rather than Conquest going off May 8. upon these honorable terms All Officers with Horses Swords Goods Money and Passes with a safe Conduct whether they pleased without any Arrest or Molestation by virtue whereof Sir William had his liberty to settle his Affairs and I know not whether he be or another Sir William Compton of Frith in Kent compounded for 0660 00 00 as he did yet hazzarded all again to serve his Majesty in the Kentish Expedition where in my Lord Gorings absence he Commanded as Major General in which capacity notwithstanding the difficulties he was to wade through he made a comfortablâ— provision for the Army in Greenwich-Park amidst the infinite distractions And when a fatal infatuation and a pannick fear guided them into the Parliaments hands he approving himself more compleat in Gallantry Wisdom Virtue and Honor than years discovered the snare kept them together so as to make honorable terms for them to go upon The laying down of their Arms where they pleased under which pretence he drew them through the Enemy taking many of them Prisoners within a mile of London to the general astonishment of that whole City an action of great consequence as was the satisfaction he gave the Country all along in Essex he marched concerning the Principles whereupon they engaged and the infinite pains and care he took to keep the Garrison in its highest distress in some competent order in Colchester by great Instructions and a greater example where being taken a Prisosoner of War he suffered all the indignities that insulting meanness could offer there being no pretended Plot but there was occasion to take him Prisoner whom O. C. called the sober young man and the godly Cavalier especially in Penruddocks business 1655. and Sir Henry Slingshies 1658. He with the Earl of Oxford the Lord Bellasiâ— Sir Iohn Russel called then the Sealed knot managing all the eight attempts made for his Majesties Restauration from 1652. to 1659. when others having the charge of raising other Countries in pursuance of Sir George Booths design Sir William Compton Sir Thomas Leventhorp and Mr. Fanshaw undertook Hertford-shire and that project failing he doth with incredible industry and prudence observe and improve the struglings of a giddy people now reeling into Liberty by degrees withdrawing the force that awed them and assisting in the gradual changes of the Government suiting with particular persons gust in order to that great change that satisfied all taking care when the Royal interest was in view in a publick Declaration which he with other Noble Reverend and excellent Persons subscribed lest any offence might be taken at the whole party of Cavaleers to the prejudice of the expected settlement from the indiscretions or transports of any single persons promising without any regard to particular Factions or Interests to submit quietly and chearfully to the present power as it was vested in the Council of State in expectation of the future Parliament which producing that blessed effect the three Nations unanimonsly wished for this Noble Person had as great a share in the Comforts as he had formerly in the cares and sufferings being intrusted with the Important place of Master of the Ordnance till he died 1663. at Drury-lane a suddain death to all persons but himself Hem viator Arma foris consilium doâ—i Cui maximum monimentum est suum nomen Gulielmus Comptonus Eq.

THE Life and Death OF Sir CHARLES COMPTON TWin to Sir William in actions as well as Birth one History serveth both as well as did once one Picture Of whom one may say as one did of his Country Warwick-shire that it was the Heart but not the Core of England having nothing Course in his life having had the same Education with his Brother saving that he excelled in two great Accomplishments for Pleasure and Business Musick and Mathematicks without the first of which he would affirm that a man was no Company and without the second of no use He took to the same War being as eminent for Sobriety Discipline Moderation Conduct Vigilance and Activity in the field where he Commanded as Colonel as his Brother was in the Garrison where he Commanded as Governor There are two wonders in his life 1. His surprize of Breston-Castle with six men and himself by pretending to bring in Provision according to a Letter he intercepted as he did many reckoning his intelligence the main piece of his service and having always abroad his 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 his many Eyes and Ears as men of business must which injoyned it the next Towns 2. His having two Pistois clapped in his very face and yet neither fire but the owners which were so sure of his life loosing by his side both their own He was as much for Pasturage and Inclosures in his Country as his Brother was against them answering those that complained Sheep turned Cannibals in Warwick-shire eating up Men Houses and Towns their Pastures make such depopulation That though they make Houses the fewer in that Country they made them the more in the Kingdom Towns being more peopled by Cloathing and Wool than the Country is depopulated by pasturage Indeed to use the words of a modern Author in this Case Corn doth visibly employ the poor in the place where it groweth by Plowing Sowing Mowing inning threshing but Wool invisibly maintaineth people at many miles distance by Carding Spinning Weaving Dressing and Dying so that Abel need not kill Cain the Shepheard undo the Husbandman but both subsist comfortably together What service he did his Majesty and his Father during the Rebellion we may guess by the trust reposed in him since the Restauration his Prudence and Courage having been as effectual against the late Usurpation as the Ash of his Country a stand of which in Pikes in his Country mens hands under his Conduct was impregnable is against viperous Creatures of which it is said that a Serpent incircled with fire and the boughs thereof will in this Dilemma put it self rather on the hazzard of fire than adventure on the fence of Ashen-boughs but it is unhappy that he was like that Ash too of which it is written that being cut down green it burneth clear and bright as if the sap thereof had a

Bred under a Puritane School-Master one Mr. Maxwell at School in the place where he was born and under a Puritane Tutor in Queens Colledge in Oxford and looked upon as so great a Puritane in King Iames his time that they would say in jest that the noise of an Organ would blow him out the Church and therefore he was called tho Puritanical Bishop though his love to Musick no doubt was as great as his Skill and his Skill so good that he could bear a part in it yet because he was a Bishop he was slighted when he came to London as Iuke warm and forsaken as Popish that had been so followed formerly as the most godly and powerful Preacher He had been a great Tutor at Queens where he had learned to train others by the Discipline he had undergone himself insomuch that when Bishop 33 Eminent Divines Lawyers Physicians and Statesmen formerly his Pupils waited on him together for his blessing He managed prudently as he was chosen into it unexpectedly and unanimously when an hundred miles off the Government and Provostship of that Colledge Vbi se ferebat Patrem-familia providum 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 nec Collegio gravis fuit aut onerosus He resigned it self-denyingly judging that his Northern charge had more need of him as an able and skilful Minister than Queens Colledge as a Provost The meek and humble man looked not for Preferment yea avoided it with an hearty nolo Episcopari And his gracious Master King Charles unexpectedly when he was buried in his Living and resolvedly when there was a considerable Competition and not an inconsiderable opposition saying He would consider his old Servant and the good man whom he liked the better for being a man of few words but a sweet Preacher called at Court The Ponetential Preacher for being peaceable in his practice though singular in his Opinion and being not humorsome though precise having the severe strictness though not the sower leaven of the Pharisees His gracious Master not so much honoring him as he did the Function and that age in the freedom of his Noble and unsought for choice The man being so exemplary in his carriage that several Recusants that could not go with him to Church yet conversed much with him Because said they they would go with him to Heaven So good a Master of his Family that his House was a Church where Family-duties constant Prayers Catechizing reading Scriptures Expounding godly Conference speaking to one another in Psalms and Spiritual Hymns were performed so regularly and so constantly that hundreds left their distant Habitations to be near him though all accommodations about him were so much the dearer as his Neighborhood was the more precious It was as great a happiness

hot Liver and a cold Stomach because what is good for the one is nought for the other and it was hard for a Nobleman to give satisfaction to the Critical temper of those times if he took his liberty in a Jovial conversation he was a scandal to his own party if he reâ—strained it by a strict carriage he was looked on as the most dangerous Enemy against the Faction Some of the Kings Friends came as their example eating and drinking and behold cry they of the hot temper Gluttons and Wine-bibbers some came fasting behold cry they of the Cool thoughts they have a Devil This excellent Lord being of the last number and having as great command of himself by temperance as he had over others by Commission was as much the object of the Factions envy as men of another Genius miserably enslaved by their lusts before they were vanquished by the enemy were of their scorn The youngest Brother of five in this Noble Family that served his Majesty and of three that dyed for him whose young and bashful virtues like the unripe and blushing glories of the Rose lying close and shut till the Sun and Majesty called them out and Maiden accomplisht men walking up and down in their vail yet have left these instructions to mankind that they have Parentes Parricidas who leave their Children by their pains great Estates and by their carelesness mean understanding the one being a constant blemish and reproach to the other besides that a full Estate not seasoned with Learning and Piety hath nothing grows on it besides Lust and Vanity as a fat heap of muck produceth nothing but weeds and trash

and other Lights that represent them and their infirmities are as visible as King Ozias his Leprosie which was in his fore-head and so between great thoughts of honor and ingenious Sentiments of shame are under the happy necessity of doing well because they have not the convenience of doing ill which necessity by holy thoughts may in time be ratified and sublimated into choice apart from all

Table-book and Common-place rather than his heart Iulius Caesar said other mens wives should not be loose but his should not be suspected And this great Lord advised the Primate of Ireland that as no Clergy man should be in reality guilty of compliance with a Schism so should not he in appearance Adding when the Primate urged the dangers on all sides as Caesar once said You are too old to fear and I too sickly A true saying since upon the opening of his Body it was found that he could not have lived according to the course of Nature six moneths longer than he did by the malice of his Enemies his own Diseases having determined his life about the same period that the Nations distemper did and his Adversaries having prevailed nothing but that that death which he just paying as a debt to Nature should be in the instant hallowed to a Sacrifice for Allegiance and he that was dying must be martyred and just when he put off his Coronet Put on a Crown Philip the I. of Spain said he could not compass his design as long as Lerma lived nor the Scots theirs as long as Strafford acts and with his own single worth bears up against the Plot of three Kingdoms like Sceva in the breach with his single resolution duelling the whole Conspiracy That now being resolved into two Committees the one of Scots the other of English first impeach him Decemb. 17. of High Treason in the House of Lords though so Innocent and so well satisfied in his own present integrity that when he might have kept with an Army that loved him well at York to give Law to those conspitors he came to receive Law from them and when he might have been secure in his Government and in the Head of an Army in Ireland he came to give an account of that Government and Army in England laying down his own Sword to be subject to others and teaching how well he could Govern by shewing how well he could obey yea when he might have retired and charged his Adversaries as Bristow did Buckingham with that conspiracy for the overthrow of Government wherewith they charged him He being able to prove how P. H. H. K. S. H. S. that thirst most for his blood had correspondence with and gave counsel to the Kings Enemies in Scotland and Ireland and England when they could prove no more for the alteration of the Law against him than that he gave advice to the King according to his place to support them yet he tamely yeilded his whole life to be scanned by those that could not be safe but when he was dead and having mannaged the great trust reposed in him by the Laws of Antient Parliaments was not afraid to submit himself to the censure of this Rather than hide his head in some Forreign Nation that offered him Sanctuary saying That England had but one good head and that was to be Cut off meaning His he would loose in his own scorning for services done his own King to beg protection of another The brave man judging that he deserved death that minute he feared it and that he was fit to be Condemned that day he refused to be Tryed appeared in Parliament and Counsel with that resolution that afterwards he appeared at the Bar with till the Scots thinking their guilt could not be pardoned till his Innocence was Impeached and that their vast Accounts amounting to 514128l 9s could not pass till he was laid up to give up his as he was in Decemb. 1640 and the Scots going with the English first Impeached and afwards Ian. 30. compleated their Charge against him which drawn up in two hundred sheets of paper was brought to the Peers by Pym and how Sir Henry V. short Notes multiplied were read Feb. 24. to the Peers before the King and Feb. 25. to the Commons consisting of 28. Articles to which having Counsel allowed him in matter of Law after three dayes debate about it and they allowed to plead but in matters they were restrained to by the House he answered in Westminster-Hall before the King Queen the Prince and Courtiers in an apartment by themselves and the whole Parliament an Audience equal to the greatness of the Earls Person and the Earl of Lindsey being Lord High Constable for the day the Earl of Arundel Lord High Steward on the 22. of March as to matter of Fact in general and the Court adjourning to the next day then in particular to 13 Articles put to him of a suddain as first that he had withdrawn 24000l out of Exchequer of Ireland for his own use Secondly That the Irish Garrisons had in the years 1635 1636. c. been maintained with English Treasure Thirdly That he had preferred infamous and Popish persons such as the Bishop of Waterford c. in the Irish Church To which notwithstanding the surprize of a Vote wherein the Parliament of Ireland charged him of High Treason a Copy whereof was delivered sealed to the Lords at that very instant with purpose to discompose him An emergency that transported him indeed to say in passion That there was a Conspiracy against him which when the Faction aggravated as if he charged with High Treason by both Houses of Parliaments should charge both Parliaments with a Conspiracy though he execused it as meant of particular and private persons â—raving pardon for the inconsiderateness of the expression He answered with an undaunted Presence of spirit with firm Reason and powerful Eloquence to this purpose that the Money he had taken for himself was no other than what Money he had paid for the King before Secondly That he had eased the Kingdom of those Garrisons wherewith it had been burthened during his Predecessors time Thirdly That the Bishop of Waterford had deceived him and satisfied the Law and the next day after Marchâ— 24. to these Articles all the forementioned 28.

Heb. 11. 38. The wicked Iews said of St. Paul Away with such a fellow from the earth for it is not fit that he should live St. Paul said of the godly Iews Of whom the world was not worthy AN Ingenious Person in a Dedicatory Epistle to the Illustrious Esme Stuart Duke of Richmond the most hopeful Son and Heir of Iames Duke of Richmond of whom more hereafter descants on these words thus Here I perceive heaven and hell mercy and malice Gods spirit and Mans spight resolved on the question that it is not fit that good men should live long on earth the same conclusion being bottomed upon different premises Wicked men think this world too good God knoweth it too bad for his people to live in Henceforward I shall not wonder that good men dye so soon but that they live so long since wicked men desire their Room here upon Earth and God their Company in Heaven and that this young Nobleman so soon exchanged his Coronet for a Crown A Nobleman of happy and assiduous Studies not in Plays and Romances the follies of good Wits but in the disquisition of solid and masculine knowledge as if he as well as Philostratus had been born a Man and his soul known no Childhood never did vice in youth finde a more confirmed goodness so impregnable was he against the temptations that gain easie access to those of his rank and quality that they could neither insinuate into him by their allurements nor force him by their importunities securing both his minde from the infection of vice and his same from the suspition A Nobleman being to think of himself as Caesar did of his Wiâ—e that others may live so as not to be condemned but he so as not to be suspected his virtue was not his stupidity or heaviness but his choice when he could have been as handsomly and takingly vicious as he was virtuous the severe exercises of his virtues being mingled with such charms from his parts and ingenuity that his very seriousness was as alluring as others divertisements and pleasures A quick and peircing Apprehension a faithful and retenâ—tive Memory a sprightful and active Fancy and a Judgement over-ruling them all neither prejudicated by vulgar opinions nor easily cozened by varnished and plausible error that deserved to live the ornament of better times and to dye engaging against those vices that were the shame of these There are a sort of Apes in India thus caught by the Natives They dress a little Boy in his sight and undress him again leaving all the Childs Apparel behind them in the place and then depart a competent distance The Ape presently attireth himself in the same garments till the Childs Cloaths become his Chains putting off his Feet by putting on his shoes The mimical Doâ—terels of Lincolnshire are thus taken As the Fowler stretcheth forth his armes and leggs going towards the Bird the Bird extendeth his leggs and wings apprâ—aching the Fowler till surprized in the Net The sweet carriage and exemplary virtue which he exercised really towards some of the Faction brought them to comply with him so far at least in pretence a while that at last they were his Converts in truth His valor conquering many his goodness more souls yielding to his virtues while bodies only lay prostrate beâ—fore his Sword Of all his virtues his patience was the most reâ—markable whereby he hardened his body to the same temperament that travel had done his soul he knew no bed for several times but that earth he sleeps on now and Pulvinar was a true Latine word for his Pillow â—afraid of softness even in his Furniâ—ture not willing to go to any Bed but that people had in those times when the Proverb rise which expresseth lying a Bed by these words Lying in Straw And this patience born up by a principle as noble as it self I mean a Religion made up of these two great parts Love and Immitation of God This noble person being of that brave Opinion That of so many divers Religions and manâ—ners of serving God which are or may be in the world they seem to be the most noble and to have the greatest appearance of truth which draw the soul into its self and cause it by pure contemplation to admire love adore dwell with imitate and enjoy the infinite Majesty of God the first cause of all things and the Essence of Essences acknowledge it in general without the nicety of particulars to be goodness perfection inâ—â—uiteness wholly incomparable This is to approach the Religion of Angels and the Humanity of Christ that shadow agreeing with the Divinity as equal-made Dyals with the Sun For his winged and soaring reason as high as theirs that pretend nothing above it acquiesced rather in the humble obedience of faith than in the critical researches of curiosity And his sprightly wit bestowed it self not in jesting upon but in adorning and obeying Religion being none of them that commence wit by blasphemy and cannot be ingenious but by being impious Indeed there was as manly a a beauty in his carrage as in his Face and a grace in each of his actions as of his Limbs charming all places he came to rather than conquering them having as generous a confluence of Noble Endowments in his Minde as he had of Noble Bloud in his Veins Worth this like a rich vein of Ore that forfeits the land it is in to his Majesty that rendred him too good to be injoyed by us For when it was necessary for him otherwise born for the sweetness and calm of peace to offer violence to and deny his nature to perform his duty in assisting that Majesty to which he was allyed as well as obliged in the defence of that Law and Liberty which his Ancestors had established as much his Inheritance as his Honor after several actions by which he shall ever live the pattern of a religious sober active watchful and resolved Souldier he came to that wherein he died the pattern of an excellent man for following my Lord Hopton as ambitious to observe his conduct as he was to attain his other great virtues at Brandonheath or
