youre victuals are nere your aide is euen at your backe so that in that voyage and exploite you shall haue abundance and plentie of all things neither shal any necessaries to that conquest be wanting Sée what an occasion fauourable fortune hath friendly offered vnto you is not their king your captiue and prisoner is not the realme in greate diuision and at intestine discorde for the Duke of Albanie nowe presentely wisheth rather to haue a straunge gouernor than a naturall tyrant Wherfore as I began so do I persist that it is necessarie before your profection to Fraunce to inuade Scotlande by Gods grace to conquere and ioyne that regiō to your empire and to restore the estate old préeminence to the renoumed monarchy of Britain and so being beautified with realms furnished which people you may with more ease enter Fraunce for the recoueryng of youre righteous title and true inheritaunce in obseruyng the old ancient prouerb which sayth He which intendeth Fraunce to winne With Scotlande let him first beginne After this Oration of the worthye Earle the Duke of Excester rose vp and spake an other in the which he per suaded the Kings Maiestie to take in hande the conquest of Fraunce but not without attributing great laude and praise to the Oration of the Earle but especially he commended the entrance of his confirmation in the which hée had alleaged howe the Romanes more desired such as wer vnder the flight of their owne Egle or whose possessions were a moate to their eyes as the I le of Scicilie and the Citie of the Samnites and other which he clearkly declared than other regions farre distant and not obiect to their horizon But by them he nothing preuailed for the King so muche regarded the sayings of hys vncle that incontinently he sent hym and others ambassadors to the French King And shortly after hauing furnished his nauie with all things fitte for such a royall voyage yet beyng mindfull of the wordes which his true and loyall péere the Erle of Westmerlād a faithfull Codrus toward his countrey had spoken he apointed him as a most worthie champion and one in whome he had fixed great hope and confidēce with the Lorde Scrope and other dyuers hardie personages valiant captains and worthy warriers to defend the marches and frontiers adioyning to Scotland in the which they dyd many hauty and valiant enterprises When the King had thus ordred and disposed all things for the tuition and safegard of his realme perceiuing that the winde was prosperous and pleasaunt for the nauie to set forwarde they weyed vp their ankers hoysed vp their sailes tooke sea wyth a hundreth and fortie ships and on the vigile of the Assump tion of our Lady with al his fléete lan ded at Kidcauxe in Normandy without resistence or bloudshedding and shortly after wonne the towne of Harflew conquered the battaile of Aegincourte subdued Caen with the Castle obteined Roan wanne Ponthoys and then concluded peace hauing maried Lady Catherine the French kings daughter and being proclaimed heire and regēt of France keeping such a noble house in Roan that all men resorted to hys court and few or none to the French kyngs after Christmasse he ordeined his brother duke of Clarence his lieutenant generall bothe of Fraunce and Normandie and on the morowe after Cādlemasse day toke shippyng at Caleys and landed at Douer And thus was the supplication put vp for dissoluyng of the deuils stewes falsely named religious houses clerely forgottē and buried according to the myndes of the sinfull Sathanistes and hooded hipocrites After this the Kyng made an other voyage into Frāce for certain wrongs offred vnto him pursued the Dolphin in such wise that he coulde scant find Hiempsalles hole to hyde him self in Thus after many victorious cō quests vpon that Frenchmen this floure of chiualry passing to aide them of Cosney whiche were besieged by the Dolphins adherents came to Corbell so to Senlesse where whether it were through the heate of the ayre or dayly labour being sore féebled weakened he began to waxe sicke yea and so sick that he was cōstrained to desist frō his pretensed purpose and sende the duke of Bedford his brother to perform his iorney and enterprise Then he began to waxe sicker sicker was cōueyed in a horselitter to Bloys where perceiuing himself to draw towards his end that death the stealing thefe whiche goth about to subuert in a momēt of an houre clerely to suppeditate al prin ces intētiōs came rūning vpon him which his piercing darte he rendred to God most heartie thankes chiefly for that he woulde call him out of this miserable life at such a time when as he was of most perfect remembrance both toward God and the worlde and also in the time of his flourishing conquest in whiche he had neuer receiued misfortune euil chaunce or spot of dishonor affirming that he was bothe glad and inwardly reioyced bicause the shorte tyme and small tracte of hys mortall lyfe shoulde bee a testimonie of hys strength a declaration of his Iustice and a setting forth of his acts and procedings also that by his death he shold obteine fame glorie and renoume escapyng the reprehension of cowardnesse the moate of all infamie which by chance he might haue gotten if nature had prolonged his life Saying as eternitie is the triumpher of time so he trusted after this fragile caduce life to obteine eternall being and after this miserable pilgremage to enioy the celestiall kingdome to come to the place of rest quietnesse Thus committing his soule to God his yong sonne prince Henry to his nobles his loue to his frends and his bodie to the earth he sayd certaine godly psalmes and receiued the blessed communion afterward reciting the Psalme of the Passion he completed and expyred his fatall breth the last day of August in the yeare of our Lord a thousand foure hundreth twentie two in the ninth yeare the fift moneth and twentie fourth daye of his raigne the eight thirty yeare of his age When the death of this Doctour in Martial affaires of all cheualry the very peragon was published among the common people incontinently their hearts were appalled their courages abated their dolour much encreased yea their wits were so troubled that like mad men they tare their haire accusing and blaming Fortune which had bereft them of so rare a iewel for robbing them of so noble an ornament and defacing them of so sure a defence and for euerting of their strong bulwarke Thus this worthie King dyed of a pleurisey which at that time was a rare sicknesse and strange disease for the name was to the most part of men vnknowne Phisiciōs were little acquainted with any remedie for the same his bodie was imbaumed closed in lead laide in a royal Chariot sumptuously adourned with cloth of golde Vpon the corps was laide a liuely represētation of his proper person beset with robes diademe and scepter with ball other abilimēts apperteining to a King the which chariot was drawn with braue Coursers gorgiously trapped in seuerall armes accompanied with diuers dolent mourners Thus with great funerall pompe his body was conueyed from Boys de Vincence to Paris and so to Roan from thence to Abinell after that to Caleis then to Douer and so through the citie of London to Westminster where he was enterred with such solemne ceremonies such mourning of Lordes such prayers of prelates such lamenting of commons as neuer before that day was séene in England Thus ended this noble and puissant prince an Vlisses in worldly pollicie a very Nestor in prudent wisdome an other Hector for manhod victorious actes an other Tully not onely in eloquence but also in defending his people and him self from priuate cursed conspiracies as he shewed at his departure from Southamptō into Fraunce his most worthy and fortunate reigne ouer this our Realme of England Whose life although cruell Atropos before his time abbreuiated yet neither fire rust or furious fretting time shall amongst our English nation eyther appal his honor or obliterate his glory which in so few yeares briefe dayes at chiued so high and glorious aduentures and made so many great and famous conquestes to the preseruing of his name in perpetuall memory and the glory of vs English men in omnen perennitatem Thus endeth the recapitulation of the life and victorious actes perpetrate by our puissaunt Prince of famous memorie King Henry the fift of that name FINIS ¶ Imprinted at London in Knightrider strete by Henry Bynneman for Thomas Hacket and are to be sold in Paules churchyard at the signe of the Key Anno. 1568.

should or might be broken See now how an euill glose confoundeth the text and a parcial interpretour marreth the sentence for first it is apparantly known and by a hundreth writers confirmed that Pharamond whome they alleage to be aucthor of this law was Duke of Franconia in Germany and elected to be king of the Sycambres which calling them selues French men had gotten a parte of the Gaule Seltique betwixt the riuers of Marne and Seyne This Pharamonde deceased in the yeare of our Lord foure hundreth twenty and sixe long after whose death Charles the great being Emperour and many yeares making warre on the Saxons did in bloudy battaile disperse and confounde the whole puissance of that nation in the yeare of our Lord eight hundreth and fiue bringing them to the Catholike faith and Christian cōformitie after which victorie certaine Souldiers as the French Cronographers affirme passed ouer the water of Sala and inhabited betwixt it and the Riuer Elne and were commonly called Saly Frenchemen or Saligalls which countrey now is the lande of Misinie This people had such an indignation at the brutish and vnhonest fashions of the Germaine women that they constitute a lawe which disabled the femals for succeding any inheritance in that lande Now if ye intentiuely and with indifferent eares precisely note these two pointes you shall easely all mystie mantles layde aparte perceiue that the law Salique was onely fayned and inuented to defraud your noble progenitours and you from your proper patrimonie and right enheritaunce for they say that Pharamonde constitute the lawe for the lande Salique which the hodipekes glose calleth Fraunce Then I demand of maister gloser or rather of the true sense a disposer or of master Doctor Commenter if euer the deuiser as by chance he might toke the degrées of a dotarde if I may call an open lyer a Commenter whether Pharamonde which dyed foure hundreth twentie one yeares before the Frenchmen possessed the Gaule Salique and neuer did sée or know it enacted a law of that thing which at that instante was not his or inhabited of his people Furthermore this the Realme of Fraunce which is your patrimonie consisteth of thrée Gaul Belgique Seltique with Aquitane Salique Then may the turndish gentle maister Gloser expounde like peruersely that Gaule Belgique is the countrey of Britaine as Geta like to glose but the ignorāt ingaram did it through ignorance so that his bolde blindenesse must be borne with but not suffered that the lande Salique is the whole Realme dominion belonging to the Crowne of Fraunce Wonder it is to see the leude Leagerdemaine and childish conueiaunce of the folish Frenchmē which ieopard to iuggle so openly with this fantasticall lawe a simple sleight God wotteth and easely perceiued without peeping through a wimble bored hole imitating the craftie hazerders which cosinlike vse to play at seest thou me or seest me not For when King Pipen which was Duke of Brabante by his mother Begga and master of the pallace of Fraunce coueted the Crown Scepter of the Realme the fickle French nation not remembring this infringeable lawe as they termed it deposed Childricke the third being very heire male and vndoutedly discended from the line of Pharamonde and Cloues King of Fraunce by the counsaile of Zacharie then Bishop of the rouing roges and massing Cayphernites and inthronised this Pepin as next heire general descended of lady Blichilde daughter of King Clothaier the first Hugh Capet also vsurped the Crowne without right or reason of Charles Duke of Loraine the sole heyre male of the line and stocke of Charles the great after that he had shamefully murdered in pitifull prison by the peruerse procurement of the bloudthristie bishop of Orleans deuillishly destroyed the sayd Charles to make his traiterous title seme true appeare good where in dede it was bothe euill and vntrue to blinde the opinions of the rurall route and common people thus setting a glasse before theyr eyes he craftely conueyed him selfe as heyre to the lady Lingard daughter to King Charlamaine sonne to Levves the Emperour which was sonne to Charles the great King of Fraunce King Levves also the ninthe whome the Frenchmen called Sainct Levves being very heire to the sayde vsurper Hughe Capet could neuer be satisfied in his consciēce how he might iustly kepe and possesse the Regalitie of the Realme of Fraunce till he was persuaded and fully instructed that Quéene Isabel his grande Mother was lineally discended of lady Armengard daughter and heyre to the aboue named Charles Duke of Loraine by the foresayd Hugh Capet of life Realme wrongfully depriued by the which mariage the bloud and lyne of King Charles the great was againe vnited and restored to the Croune and Septer of Fraunce so that it more clearer than the sunne openly appeareth the title of King Pipen the clame of Hugh Capet the possession of king Levves yea of all the French Kings to this day are deriued claimed conueied from the heire female yet they wold bar you as though your great grande mother had ben no woman nor heire female but a painted image or fained shadow If so many examples if such copie of presidēts collected out of your own histories gathered out of our writers suffise not to confounde your simple Salique inuented by false fablers and craftie imaginers of you fabling frēchmen then heare what God saith in the booke of Numeri when a man dyeth without a sonne let the inheritaunce descende to the daughter if your princes call them selues moste Christian Kings let them folow the law of God before the lawe of the Panime Pharamond Are not al laws discrepāt from gods lawes euill and to all Christian eares odious and noisome are French women descended of the bloud royall no Christians and not worthie to enherite the Realme of Fraunce is the Realme of Fraunce more noble than the kingdome of Iuda of whome Christ descēded by a woman when God sayd to Abraham that in one of his séede all nations should be blessed how came Christ of the séede of Abraham but onely by that immaculate Virgin his glorious Mother likewise when the Prophet Michee sayd thou Tribe of Iuda arte not least of estimation amongst the princes of Iuda for out of thee shal come a Captaine which shall rule and direct my people of Israell How descēded Christ from the roote of Iesse how was the Duke and captaine of the Israelites how descended he of the line of Dauid but only by his mother a pure virgin and a maried wife Beholde by gods law women shall enherite beholde in Fraunce Frenchmen haue enherited by that onely lyne of the woman and yet Englishmen be prohibited to claime by the heyre female contrarie to the lawe of God man wherfore regard well my soueraigne your iust and true title to the Realme of Fraunce by gods law mans lawe lawfully to you deuoluted as very heyre to Quéene Isabel your great grand mother
