the violences of nature but especially of the exorbitances of the tongue and so I conclude him with this double observation the one of the innocency of his intentions exempt and clear from the guilt of Treason and disloyalty the other of the greatnesse of his heart for at his arraignment he was so little dejected by what might be alleaged and proved against him that he rather grew troubled with choller and in a kinde of exaspiration despised his Iury though of the order of Knighthood and of the speciall Gentry claiming the priviledge of tryall by the Peers and Barronage of the Realm so prevalent was that of his native genious and the haughtinesse of his spirit which accompanied him to his last and till any diminution of courage it brake in peeces the cords of his magnanimity for he dyed suddenly in the Tower and when it was thought the Queen did intend his inlargement with the restitution of his possessions which were then very great and comparable to most of the Nobility Hattor SIR Chrystopher Hatton came into the Court as his opposite Sir Iohn Perrot was wont to say by the Galliard for he came thither as a private Gentleman of the Innes of Court in a Mask and for his activity and person which was tall and proportionable taken into her favour he was first made vice Chamberlain and shortly afterward advanced to the place of Lord Chancellor a Gentleman that besides the graces of his person and dancing had also the adjectaments of a strong and subtill capacity one that could soon learn the discipline and garb both of the times and Court the truth is he had a large proportion of gifts and endowments but too much of the season of envy and he was a meer vegetable of the Court that sprung up at night and sunk again at his noon Lord Effingham MY Lord of Effingham though a Courtier betimes yet I finde not that the Sunshine of her favour broke out upon him untill she took him into the Ship and made him high Admirall of England for his extract it may suffice that he was the sonne of a Howard and of a Duke of Norfolk And for his person as goodly a Gentleman as the times had any if nature had not been more intentive to compleat his person then Fortune to make him rich for the times considered which were then active and a long time after lucrative he dyed not wealthy yet the honester man though it seems the Queens purpose was to tender the occasion of his advancement and to make him capable of more honour which at his return from Cadize accounts she conferred it upon him creating him Earl of Nottingham to the great discontent of his Colleague my Lord of Essex who then grew accessive in the Appetite of her favour and the truth was so exorbitant in the limitation of the Soveraigne aspect that it much alienated the Queens grace from him and drew others together with the Admirall to a combination and to conspire his ruine and though I have heard it from that party I mean of the Admiralls faction that it lay not in his proper power to hurt my Lord of Essex yet he had more followers and such as were well skilled in setting of the gin but I leave this to these of an other age It is out of doubt that the Admirall was a good honest and a brave man and a faithfull servant to his Mistris and such a one as the Queen out of her own Princely judgement knew to be a fit instrument for that service for she was no ill proficient in the reading of men as well as Books and his sundry expeditions as that afore mentioned and 88. doth both expresse his worth and manifest the Queens trust and the opinion she had of his fidelity and conduct Moreover the Howards were of the Queens alliance and consanguinity by her mother which swayed her affection and bent it toward this great house and it was a part of her naturall propension to grace and support ancient nobility where it did not intrench neither invade her interest for on such trespasses she was quick and tender and would not spare any whatsoever as we may observe in the case of the Duke and my Lord of Hereford whom she much favoured and countenanced till they attempted the forbidden fruit the fault of the last being in the severest interpretation but a trespasse of incroachment but in the first it was taken for a ryot against the Crown and her own Soveraign power and as I have ever thought the cause of her aversion against the rest of the house and the Dukes great Father in Law Fitz Allen Earl of Arundell a person of the first rank in her affections before these and some other jealousies made a separation between them this noble Lord and the Lord Thomas Howard since Earl of Suffolk standing alone in her grace the rest in umbrage Sir Iohn Packington SIR Iohn Packington was a Gentleman of no mean family and of form and feature no way dispiseable for he was a brave Gentleman and a very fine Courtier and for the time which he stayed there which was not lasting very high in her grace but he came in and went out and thorough disassiduity drew the Curtain between himself and the light of her grace and then death overwhelmed the remnant and utterly deprived him of recovery and they say of him that had he brought lesse to the Court then he did he might have carried away more then he brought for he had a time on it but an ill husband of opportunity Lord Hunsdon MY Lord of Hunsdon was of the Queens neerest Kindred and on the decease of Sussex both he and his sonne took the place of Lord Chamberlain he was a fast man to his Prince and firm in his friends and servants and though he might speak big and therein would be born out yet was he not the more dreadfull but lesse harmfull and farre from the practise of my Lord of Leicesters instructions for he was down right and I have heard those that both knew him well and had interest in him say merrily of him that his Latine and his dissimulation were both alike and that his custome of swearing and obscenity in speaking made him seem a worse Christian then he was and a better Knight of the Carpet then he should be as he lived in a ruffling time so he loved sword and buckler men and such as our Fathers were wont to call men of their hands of which sort he had many brave Gentleman that followed him yet not taken for a popular and dangerous person and this is one that stood amongst the Togati of an honest stout heart and such a one as upon occasion would have fought for his Prince and his Country for he had the charge of the Queens person both in the Court and in the Camp at Tilbury Rawleigh SIR Walter Rawleigh was on that it seems fortune had pickt out of
beyond my apprehension I must again professe that having read many of his Letters for they are commonly sent to my Lord of Leicester and Burleigh out of France containing many fine passages and secrets yet if I might have been beholding to his Cyphers whereof they are full they would have told pretty tales of the times but I must now close up and rank him amongst the Togati yet chief of those that layed the foundation of the French and Dutch Warres which was another peece of his finenesse and of the times with one observation more that he was one of the great allayes of the Austerian embracements for both himself and Stafford that preceded him might well have been compared to the fiend in the Gospel that sowed his tares in the night so did they their feeds of division in the dark and it is a likely report that they father on him at his return that the Queen said unto him with some sensibility of the Sâ—anish designes on France Madam I beseech you be content not to fear the Spaniard hath a great appetite and an excellent digestion but I have fitted him with a Bone for this twenty yeers that your Majesty shall have no cause to doubt him provided that if the fire chance to slack which I have kindled you will be ruled be me and now and then cast in some English fewell which will revive the flame Willoughby MY Lord Willoughby was one of the Queens first sword men he was of the ancient extract of the Bartâ—â—s but more ennobled by his Mother who was Dutches of Suffolk He was a great Master of the Art Military and was sent Generall into France and commanded the second of five Armies that the Queen sent thither in ayd of the French I have heard it spoken that had he not slighted the Court but applyed himself to the Queen he might have enjoyed a plentifull portion of her grace and it was his saying and it did him no good that he was none of the Râ—plitia intimating that he could not creep on the ground and that the Court was not his Element for indeed as he was a great Souldier so was he of a sutable magnanimity and could not brook the obsequiousnesse and aâ—â—iduity of the Court and as he then was somewhat descending from youth happily he had an animam reâ—crendi and to make a safe retreat Sir Nicholas Bacon I Come to another of the Togati Sir Nicholas Bacon an arch peice of Wit and Wisedome he was a Gentleman and a man of Law and of great knowledge therein whereby together with his other parts of learning and dexterity he was promoted to be Keeper of the great Seal and being of Kin to the Treasurer Burleigh had also the help of his hand to bring him into the Queens favour for he was abundantly factious which took much with the Queen when it was suited with the season as he was well able to judge of his times he had a very quaint saying and he used it often to good purpose that he loved the jest well but not the losse of his friend he would say and that though he knew it Vansquisque siâ—â— fortune â—ober was a true and good principle yet the most in number were those that marred themselves but I will never forgive that man that looseth himself to be rid of his jest He was Father to that refined wit which since hath acted a disasterous part on the publike stage and of late sate in his Fathers room as Lord Chancellor those that lived in his age and from whence I have taken this little modell of him gives him a lively Character and they decipher him for another Soloâ— and the Synon of those times such a one as Aedipus was in dissolving of riddles doubtlesse he was as able an instrument and it was his commendation that his-head was the Mawle for it was a great one and therein he kept the Wedge that entred the knotty peeces that came to the Table and now I must again fall back to smooth and plain away to the rest that is behinde but not from the purpose There were about these times two Rivals in the Queens favour old Sir Francis Knowles Controuller of the House and Sir Henry Norris whom she called up at a Parliament to sit with the Peers in the higher House as Lord Norris of Râ—cott who had married the Daughter and Heir of the old Lord Williams of Tain a Noble person and to whom in the Queens adversity she had been committed to safe custody and from him had received more then ordinary observances Now such was the goodnesse of the Queens nature that she neither forgot the good turns received from the Lord Williams neither was she unmindefull of this Lord Norris whose Father in her Fathers time and in the businesse of her mother dyed in a noble cause and in the jnstification of her innocency Lord Norris MY Lord Norris had by this Lady an ample issue which the Queen highly respected for he had six sonnes and all Martiall brave men the first was William his eldest and Father to the late Earl of Bark-shire Sir Iohn Vulgarly called Generall Norris Sir Edward Sir Thomas Sir Henry and Maximilian men of an haughty courage and of great experience in the conduct of Millitary affairs and to speak in the Character of their merit they were such persons of such renown and worth as future times must out of duty owe them the debt of an honourable memory Knowles SIR Francis Knowles was somewhat of the Queens affinity and had likewise no incompetent issue for he had also William his Eldest and since Earl of Banbury Sir Thomas Sir Robert and Sir Francis if I be not a little mistaken in their names and Marshalling and there was also the Lady Lettice a Sister of these who was first Countesse of Essex and after of Leicester and these were also brave men in their times and places but they were of the Court and Carpet not led by the genious of the Camp Between these two Families there was as it falleth out amongst great Ones and Competitors for favour no great correspondency and there were some Seeds either of emulation or distrust cast between them which had they not been disjoyned in the residence of of their persons as it was the Fortune of their employments the one side attending the Court the other the Pavillion Surely they would have broken out into some kinde of hostility or at least they would have wrastled one in the other like Trees incircled with joy for there was a time when both these Fraternities being met at Court there passed a challenge between them at certain exercises the Queen and the old men being Spectators which ended in a flat quarrell amongst them all and I am perswaded though I ought not to judge that there were some reliques of this fewd that were long after the causes of the one Families almost utter extirpation and of the others improsperity
domino faâ—tum est istud est inâ—nable inoculis nostris which we finde to this day on the stamp of her gold with this on her silver Posui Deumad â—â—â—rem meum Her Ministers and Instruments of State such as were participes 〈◊〉 and bare a great part of the burthen were many and those memorable but they were onely Favorites not Mimions such as acted more by her own Princely rules and judgements then by their own wills and appetites which she observed to the last for we finde no Gaveston Vere or Spencer to have swayed alone during forty four yeers which was a well settled and advised maxime for it valued her the more it awed the most secure and it took best with the people and it starved all emulations which are apt to rise and vent in obloquious acrimony even against the Prince where there is onely A Major Palatii The principall note of her raign will be that she ruled much by faction and parties which her self both made upheld and weakned as her own great judgement advised for I disassent from the common received opinion that my Lord of Leicester was absolute and above all in her Grace and though I come somewhat short of the knowledge of those times yet that I might not rove and shoote at random I know it from assured intelligence that it was not so for proof whereof among many that I could present I will both relate a short and therâ—â— a known truth And it was thus Bawyer a Gentleman of the Black-rod being charged by her expresse command to look precisely to all admissions into the Privy-Chamber one day stayed a very gay Captain and a follower of my Lord of Leicesters from entrance for that he was neither well known nor a sworn servant to the Queen at which repulse the Gentleman bearing high on my Lords favour told him he might perchance procure him a discharge Leicester coming into the Contestation said publikely which was none of his want that he was a Knave and should not continue long in his office and so turning about to go into the Queen Bowyer who was a bold Gentleman and welbeloved stept before him and fell at Her Majesties feet related the story and humbly craves Her Graces pleasure and whether my Lord of Leicester was King or Her Majesty Queen whereunto she replyed with her wonted oath Gods death my Lord I have wisht you well but my favour is not so lockt up for you that others shall not partake thereof for I have many servants unto whom I have and will at my pleasure bequeath my favour and like wise resume the same and if you think to rule here I will take a course to see you forth coming I will have heere but one Mistris and no Master and look that no ill happen to him least it be severely required at your hands which so quelled my Lord of Leicester that his fained humility was long after one of his best vertues Moreover the Earl of Sussex then Lord Chamberlain was his profest Antagonist to his dying day and for my Lord of Hunsdone and Sir Thomas Sackvile after Lord Treasurer who were all Contemporaries he was wont to say of them that they were of the Tribe of Dan and were Noli me tangeres implying that they were not to be contested with for they were indeed of the Queens neer kindred from whence and in more instances I conclude that she was absolute and Soveraign Mistris of Her Graces and that all those to whom she distributed her favours were never more then Tenants at will and stood on no better ground then her Princely pleasure and their own good behaviour and this also I present as a known observation that she was though very capable of Councell absolute enough in her own resolutions which was ever apparent even to her last in that her aversation to grant Tyrone the least drop of her mercy though earnestly and frequently advised yea wrought onely by the whole Counsell of State with very many pressing reasons and as the state of her Kingdom then stood I may speak it with assurance necessitated Arguments If we look into her inclination as it is disposed either to magnificence or frugality we shall finde in them many notable considerations for all her dispensations were so poysed as though discretion and Iustice had both agreed to stand at the beam and see them weighed out in due proportion the maturity of her yeers and judgement meeting in a concurrency and at such an age as seldome lapseth to excesse To consider them apart we have not many presidents of her liberality or of any large donatives to particular men my Lord of Essex Book of Parkes onely excepted which was a Princely gift and some few more of a lesser size to my Lord of Leicester Hatton and others Her reward consisted chiefly in grants of Leases of Offices and places of Indicature but for ready money and in any great summes she was very sparing which we partly conceive was a vertue rather drawn out by necessity then her nature for she had many layings out and to her last period And I am of opinion with Sir Walter Rawleigh that those many brave men of our times and of the Militiae tasted little more of her bounty then in her grace and good word with their due entertainment for she ever paid the Souldiers well which was the honour of her times and more then her great adversary of Spain could perform so that when we come to the consideration of her frugality the observation will be little more then that her bounty and it were so woven together that the one vvas suited by an honourable vvay of spending the other limited by a necessitated vvay of sparing The Irish action vve may call a mallady and a Consumption of her times for it accompanied her to her end and it vvas of so profuse and vast an expence that it drevv neer a distemperature of State and of passion in her self for tovvard her last she grevv somevvhat hard to please her Armes being accustomed to prosperity and the Irish persecution not ansvvering her expectation and vvonted successe for a good vvhile it vvas an unthrifty and inauspitious vvarre vvhich did much disturbe and mislead her judgement and the more for that it vvas a president vvhich vvas taken out of her ovvn Pattern for as the Queen by vvay of diversion had at the coming to the Crovvn supported the revolted States of Holland so did the King of Spain turn the trick on her self tovvards her going out by cherishing the Irish rebellion vvhere it falls into consideration vvhat the State of the Kingdome and the Crovvn revenevvs vvere then able to embrace and endure if vve look into the establishment of those times vvith the list of the Irish Army considering the defeatments of Blackvvater vvithall precedent expences as it stood from my Lord of Essex undertaking to the surrender of Kingsale under the Generall Mountioy and
Souldiery vvhich all flockt unto him as foretelling a mortality and are commonly of blunt and too rough Counsells and many times dissonant from the time of the Court and the State the other sort vvere of his family his servants and his ovvn creatures such as vvere bound by the rules of safety and obligations of fidelity to have looked better to the steering of that Boat wherein they themselves were carried and not have suffered it to float and runne on ground with those empty Sailes of Fame and Tumor of popular applause me thinks one honest man or other that had but the office of brushing his cloaths might have whispered in his ear my Lord look to it this multitude that followes you will either devoure you or undo you strive not to rule and over rule all for it will cost hot water and it will procure envy and if needs your genius must have it so let the Court and the Queens presence be your station but as I have said they had suckt too much of their Lords milk and insteed of withdrawing they blew the Coals of his ambition and infused into him too much of the Spirit of glory yea and mixed the goodnesse of his nature with a touch of revenge which is ever accompanied with a destiny of the same fate and of this number there were some of insufferable natures about him that towar is his last gave desperate advice such as his integrity abhorred and his fidelity forbad amongst whom Sir Henry â—ottâ—n notes without injury his Secretary Cuffe a vileman and of a perverse nature I could also name others that when he was in the right course of recovery and settling to moderation would not suffer a recesse in him but stirred up the dregs of those rude humors which by time and his affliction out of his own judgement he sought to repose or to give them all a vomit and thus I conclude this noble Lord as a mixture between prosperity and adversity once the childe of his great Mistris favour but the sonne of Bellona Buckhurst MY Lord of Buckhurst was of the noble House of the Sackvills and of the Queens consanguinity his Father was Sir Richard Sackvill or as the people then called him Fill-sack by reason of his great wealth and the vast Patrimony which he left to this his sonne whereof he spent in his youth the best part untill the Queen by her frequent admonitions diverted the torrent of his profusion he was a very fine Gentleman of person and indowments both of art and nature both without measure magnificient till on the turn of his humour and the allay that his yeers and good Councells had wrought upon those immoderate courses of his youth and that height of spirit inherent to his House and then did the Queen as a most juditious and indulgent Prince when she saw the man grow stayed and settled give him her assistance and advanced him to the Treasureship where he made amends to his house for his mispent time both in the increasment of estate and honour which the Queen conferred on him together with the opportunity to remake himself and thereby to shew that this was a childe that should have a share in her grace and a taste of her bounty They much commend his elocution but more the excellency of his pen for he was a Scholler and a person of a quick dispatch faculties that yet runne in the bloud and they say of him that his Secretaries did little for him by the way of inditement wherein they could seldome please him he was so facet and choice in his phrase and style and for his dispatches and the content he gave to Suitors he had a decorum seldome since put in practise for he had of his attendants that took into rowl the names of all Suitors with the date of their first adresses and these in their order had hearing so that a fresh man could not leap over his head that was of a more ancient edition except in the urgent affaires of State I finde not that he was any wayes insnared in the factions of the Court which were all his times strong and in every mans note the Howards and the â—â—cills of the one part my Lord of Essex c on the other part for he held the Staff of the Treasury fast in his hand which once in the yeer made then all beholding to him and the truth is as he was a wise man and a stout he had no reason to be a partaker for he stood sure in bloud and in grace and was wholly intentive to the Queens service and such were his abilities that she received assiduous proofes of his sufficiency and it hath been thought that she might have more cunning instruments but none of a more strong judgement and confidence in his wayes which are symptomes of magnanimity and fidelity whereunto methinks this Motto hath some kinde of reference aut nunq iam tentes aut perfice As though he would have charactered in a word the Genius of his House or exprest somewhat of an higher inclination then lay within his compasse That he was a Courtier is apparent for he stood alwayes in her eye and favour Lord Mountjoy MY Lord Mountioy was of the ancient Nobility but utterly deceived in the support thereof Patrimony through his Grandfathers excesse in the action of Bullen his Fathers vanity in the search of the Philosophers stone and his Brothers untimely prodigalities all which seemed by a joynt conspiracy to ruine the house and altogether to annihilate it as he came from Oxford he took tho Inner-Temple in his way to Court whither no sooner came but without asking he had a pretty strange kinde of admission which I have heard from a discreet man of his own and much more of the secrets of those times he was then much about twenty yeers of age of a Brown-hair a sweet face a most neat Composure and tall in his person the Queen was then at White-hall and at dinner whither he came to see the fashion of the Court the Queen had soon found him out and with a kinde of an affected frown asked the Lady Carâ—er what he was she answered she knew him not insomuch as an inquiry was made from one to another who he might be till at length it was told the Queen he was Brother to the Lord William Mountioy this inquisition with the eye of Majesty fixed upon him as she was wont to do and to dant men she knew not stirred the bloud of this young Gentleman insomuch as his colour came and went which the Queen observing called him unto her and gave him her hand to kisse incouraging him with gratious words and new looks and so diverting her speech to the Lords and Ladies She said that she no sooner observed him but that she knew there was in him some noble Bloud with some other expressions of pitty towards his House and then again demanding his name She said fail you not
to come to the Court and I will be think my self how to do you good and this was his inlet and the beginnings of his grace where it fals into confideration that though he wanted not wit and courage for he had very fine atractions and being a good peece of a Scholler yet were they accompanied with the retractives of bashfulness and a naturall modesty which as the toan of his house the ebbe of his fortune then stood might have hindred his progression had they not been reinforced by the infusion of Soveraign favour and the Queens gratious invitation And that it may appear how low he was and how much that heretique necessity will work in the dejection of good spirits I can deliver it with assurance that his exhibition was very scant untill his Brother dyed which was shortly after his admission to the Court and then was it no more then a thousand Marks â—er annum wherewith he lived plentifully in a fine way and garb and without any great sustentation during all her times and as there was in his nature a kinde of backwardnesse which did not befriend him nor suite with the motion of the Court so there was in him an incâ—ination to Armes with a humour of travelling and gadding abroad which had not some wise men about him laboured to remove and the Queen her self laid in her commands he would out of his naturall propension have marred his own market for as he was grown by reading whereunto he was much adicted to the theory of a Souldier so was he strongly invicted by his genius to the acquaintance of the practique of the Warre which were the causes of his excursions for he had a Company in the Low-Countries from whence he came over with a Noble acceptance of the Queen but somewhat restlesse in honourable thoughts he exposed himself again and again and would presse the Queen with the pretences of visiting his Company so often that at length he had a flat deniall and yet he stole over with Sir Iohn Norris into the action of Britain which was then a hot and active Warre whom he would alwayes call his Father honouring him above all men and ever bewayling his end so contrary he was in his esteem and valuation of this great Commander to that of his friend my Lord of Essex till at last the Queen began to take his decessions for contempts and confined his residence to the Court and her own presence and upon my Lord of Essex fall so confident she was in her own Princely judgement and opinion she had conceived of his worth and conduct that she vvould have this noble Gentleman and none other to finish and bring the Irish Warre to a propitious end for it vvas a propheticall speech of her ovvn that it vvould be his fortune and his honour to cut the thred of that fatall rebellion and to bring her in peace to the grave vvhere she vvas not deceived for he atchieved it but vvith much pains and carefulnesse and not vvithout the fears and many jealousies of the Court and times vvherevvith the Queens age and the malignity of her setting times vvere repleat and so I come to his dear friend in Court Master Secretary Cecill vvhom in his long absence from Court he adored as his Saint and Courted for his onely Mecenas both before and after his departure from Court and during all the times of his command in Ireland vvell knovving that it lay in his povver and by a vvord of his mouth to make or marre him Cecill SIR Robert Cecill since Earl of Salisbury vvas the sonne of the Lord Burleigh and in the inheritor of his vvisedome and by degrees Successor of his places and favours though not of his Lands for he had Sir Thomas Cecill his elder brother since created Earl of Exeteâ— he vvas first Secretary of State then Master of the Wards and in the last of her raign came to be Lord Treasurer all vvhich vvere the steps of his Fathers greatnesse and of the honour he left to his House For his person he vvas not much beholding to nature though somevvhat for his face vvhich vvas the best part of his outside but for his inside it may be said and vvithout soloecisme that he vvas his Fathers ovvn sonne and a pregnant proficient in all discipline of State He vvas a Courtier from his Cradle vvhich might have made him betimes yet at the age of tvventy and upvvards he vvas much short of his after proof but exposed and by change of climate he soon made shovv vvhat he vvas and vvould be he lived in those times vvherein the Queen had most need and use of men of vvaight and amongst able ones this vvas a chief as having his sufficiency from his instructions that begat him the tutorship of the times and Court which were then the Academies of Art and cunning for such was the Queens condition from the tenth or twelfth of her raigne that she had the happinesse to stand up whereof there is a former intimation though invironed with more enemies and assaulted with more dangerous practises then any Prince of her times and of many ages before neither must we in this her preservation attribute to much to humane pollices for that God in his omnipotent providence had not onely ordained those secundary means as instruments of the work but by an evident manifestation that the same worke which she acted was a well pleasing service of his owne out of a peculiar care had decreed the protection of the work-Mistris and thereunto added his abundant blessing upon all and whatsoever she undertook which is an observation of satisfaction to my self that she was in the right though to others now breathing under the same form and frame of her Government it may not seem an animadversion of any worth but I leave them to the perill of their own folly And so again to this great Master of State and the staffe of the Queens declinning age who though his little crooked person could not promise any great supportation yet it carryed thereon a head and a headpeece of a vast content and therein it seems nature was so diligent to compleat one and the best part about him as that to the perfection of his memory and intellectualls she took care also of his sences and to put him in 〈◊〉 oculos or to pleasure him the more borrowed of Argns so to give unto him a prospective sight and for the rest of his sensitive vertues his predecessor Walsingham had left him a receipt to smell out what was done in the conclave and his good old Father was so well seen in the Mathematickes as that he could tell you throughout all Spain every part every Ship with their burthens whither bound with preparation what impediments for diversion of enterprises Councells and resolutions and that we may see as in a little Map how docible this little man was I will present a taste of his abilities My Lord of
