Souldier from his cradle for his whole delight was in Martial Exercises of this I dare iudge because I professe it that when he was a very child both in yeares and strength few horsemen in the Kingdome the Gentleman that taught him excepted did ride better valianter or with more discretion and iudgement In the Vniuersitie he spent his first time where he got both admiration loue and Learning and indeed being the sonne of that Father the very naming of his Name was enough to raise an army to gaze vpon him cry out That Heauen would protect him From the Vniuersitie he betook himself to trauell wherin he spent many yeares for the bettering of his knowledge and some in beholding the warres in the Neatherlands being an obiect to which his heart was fixed as soone as occasion was offered he entred himselfe into the lyst of Souldiers like a Soulder humbling himselfe to the lowest degree considering his greatnesse that thereby he might make his Scale more noble and persit In the Palatinate he did both Summer and Winter held out all extremities and in despite of Famine Sword and Sicknesse returned home with Honour Now last of all new matter being offered he hath put himselfe on this present action Proceede in it braue Earle and prosper thou that art the Image of thy Fathers body be the imitatour of his actions and I doubt not but Heauen will powre vpon thee a ten times treble measure of his blest and Glorious Rewards go on I say couragiously and be the Heart of this warlike preparation the large heart the vnyeelding heart that thou maist inflame burne all things before thee till the Enemie be glad that thy Masters Children will receiue their Inheritance for so my hopes Prophesie and so I hope God himselfe hath spoken Lastly reade O Britaine to thine vnkindled spirits the Storie of the House of Willoughby a Storie that whosoeuer will turne ouer that great Volume shall finde it full of Honour full of wonder full of Vertue full of great actions for mine owne part I can but touch at the names the matter and Substance lies at large inrolled by a much better pen-man And first as fittest for this short discourse and omitting many that went before him I will begin with William Lord Willoughby in the daies of King Henry the eight who was a man of infinite courage and vertue of high thoughts deepe wisdome and discreete caryage hee commanded whilest he liued in all the Kings Warres went on euer with renowne and came off euer with glory insomuch that Henry the eight that potent King held him as one of the richest Iuels which adorne his Kingdome and thought no fauour too deare or pretious for such great deseruings but the best things on earth are euer subiect to Mortalitie for it pleased God when this braue Lord was in his greatest prosperitie of Fortune and the highest fauour with his Soueraigne to take him to his mercy and he died without any Issue male of his body and only left behind him a Daughter and heire called Katherine which was maryed to that great heroyicall Lord Charles Brandon Duke of Suffolke so that the King seeing the name of Willoughby which he loued so dearely and had so dearely deserued at his Royall hands likely to be lost in this sweete Lady began to take it to his consideration and to make as it were a monument to preserue this great Name and to giue it still a quickning life in his remembrance hee called for a well-loued Kinsman of this Lord Willoughbies and created him in memorie of the other Lord Willoughby of Param But see the effect working of Prouidence after the death of the Duke of Suffolke this Lady Katherine his Duchesse maryed with Bar●ue by whom shee had a sonne borne beyond the Seas which she called Peregrine and was in her right Lord Willoughby of Eresby To tell the Storie of this great Duchesse life how worthily Religiously and bountifully shee liued here in England how malitiously cruelly and treacherously shee was hunted and pursued for her life ouer all Christendome by an whole Kennell of the Popes worst deuouring Woolues to tell the dangers shee escaped the magnanimitie shee vsed the extremities shee was put to to tell the snares that were laid to intrap her and the pretty sleights her sweetnesse vsed to escape them to see how busie the Deuill was to vndermine her and how strong God was to protect her would raise vp amazement euen in stones and make the Earth cry out O Dea certe After her succeeded Peregrine Lord Willoughby the myrror and myrackle of his time This man must needes bee a Souldier for hee was borne in the Warres nurst in the Warres brought vp in the Warres his whole life nothing but a Storie of the Wars and the last act of his life was playd in a Town of Garison Of this mans actions all the Neatherlands can report and especially Bergenupzone for

vp thy Ports and battered downe thy Walls and had not the Kings mercy throwne cold water on his anger t is well knowne hee had wrapt thee vp in a bloudy mantell for exceeding great were his designes

when hee had performed all his great Mistresses commandements and brought peace to her Neighbours he then returned into England where in recompence of his great seruices she made him Gouernour of her warlike Towne of Berwicke and in that Gouernment with peace of contience and the loue of all sorts of People he died and was exceedingly lamented After him succeeded in his dignitie Robert Lord Willoughby his sonne now liuing who hitherto hath followed his Fathesr step for step to Honor put on his Armour almost as soone and had imployments been as frequent and abundant as in the daies of his
