well enough with them For I had rather then any good that this kind of people were driven somewhere out of my sight they haue so sore troubled me many times and oft when they haue with their lamentable reares begged money of me and yet they could never to my mind so tune their song that thereby they ever got of me one farthing For evermore the one of these chanced either that I would not or else that I could not because I had it not Therfore now they be waxed wife For whē they see me goe by because they will not leese their labour they let me passe and say not one word to me So they looke for nothing of me no in good sooth no more then if I were a Priest or a Monk But I will make a Law that all these beggers shall be distributed and bestowed into houses of religion The men shall be made Lay brethren as they call them and the women Nunnes Hereat the Cardinall smiled and allowed it in jeast yea and all the residue in good earnest But a certaine Fryar graduate in divinity tooke such pleasure and delight in this jeasts of Priests and Monkes that he also being else a man of gr●sly and sterne gravity began merily and wantonly to jest and taunt Nay quoth he you shall not be so rid and dispatched of beggers unlesse you make some provision also for vs Fryars Why quoth the ●easter that is done already for my Lord himselfe set a very good order for you when he decreed that Vagabonds should be kept straight and set to worke for you be the greatest and veriest Vagabonds that be This jeast also when they saw the Cardinall not disproue it every man tooke it gladly saving onely the Fryar For he and that no mervaile being thus touched on the quicke and hit on the gaule so fretted so fumed and cha●ed at it and was in such a rage that he could not refraine himselfe from ch●ding scolding raising and reviling He called the fellow Ribbald villaine javell backbiter slaunderer and the child of perdi●ion citing therewith terrible threarnings out of holy Scripture Then the jeasting sco●●er began to play the sco●●er indeed and verily he was good at that for he could play a part in that play no man better Patient your selfe good Master Fryar quoth he and be not angry for Scripture saith In your patience you shall saue your soules Then the Fryar for I will rehearse his owne very words No gallowes wretch I am not angry quoth he or at the least-wise I doe not sinne for the Psalmist saith Be you angry and sinne not Then the Cardinall spake gently to the Fryar and desired him to quiet himselfe No my Lord quoth he I speak not but of a good zeale as I ought for holy men had a good zeale Wherefore it is said The zeale of thy house hath eaten me And it is sung in y● Church The scorners of Hel●z●us whiles he went vp into the house of God felt the zeale of the bald as peradventure this scorning villaine R●bbauld shall feele You doe it quoth the Cardinall perchance of a good minde and affection but me thinketh you should doe I cannot and esteeme me and my sayings I ensure you Master Raphael quoth I I tooke great delectation in hearing you all things that you said were spoken so wittily and so pleasantly And me thought me selfe to be in the meane time not onely at home in my Country but also through the pleasant remembrance of the Cardinall in whose house I was brought up of a Child to wax a child againe And friend Raphael though I did beare very great love towards you before yet seeing you doe so earnestly favour this man you will not beleeve how much my love towards you is now increased But yet all this notwithstanding I can by no meanes change my mind but that I must needs beleeve that you if you be disposed and can find in your heart to follow some Princes Court shall with your good counsels greatly helpe and further the Common-wealth Wherefore there is nothing more appertaining to your duty that is to say to the duty of a good man For whereas your Plato judgeth that weale-publikes shall by this meanes attaine perfect felicity either if Philosophers be Kings or ●lse if Kings give themselves to the study of Philosophy how farre I pray you shall Common-wealths then be from this felicitie if Philosophers will vouchsafe to instruct Kings with their good counsell They be not so unkind quoth he but they would gladly doe it yea many have done it already in books that they have put forth if Kings and Princes would be willing and ready to follow good counsell But Plato doubtlesse did well fore-see unlesse Kings themselves would apply their mindes to the study of Philosophy that else they would never thorowly allow the counsell of Philosophers being themselves before euen from their tender age infected and corrupt with peruerse and euill opinions Which thing Plato himselfe prooued true in king Dyonise If I should propose to any King wholsome decrees doing my endevour to pluck out of his mind the pernicious originall causes of vice and naughtinesse thinke you not that I should forthwith either be driven away or else made a laughing stocke Well suppose I were with the French King and there sitting in his Counsell whiles in that most secret consultation the King himselfe there being present in hi● owne person they beat their braines and search the very bottomes of their wits to discusse by what craft and meanes the King may still keepe Millaine and draw to him againe fugitiue Naples and then how to conquer the Venetians and how to bring vnder his jurisdiction all Italie then how to winne the Dominion of Flanders Brabant and all Burgundy with divers other Lands whose Kingdomes hee hath long agoe in mind and purpose invaded Heere whiles one counsaileth to conclude a League of Peace with the Venetians so long to endure as shall be thought meete and expedient for their purpose and to make them also of their Councell yea and besides that to give them part of the prey Which afterward when they have brought their purpose about after their owne mindes they may require and claime again Another thinketh best to hyre the Germans Another would have the favour of the Switzers wonne with money Anothers advice is to appease the puissant power of the Emperors Majestie with Gold as with a most pleasant and acceptable sacrifice Whiles another giveth counsell to make peace with the King of Arragon to restore unto him his owne Kingdome of Navarre as a full assurance of of peace Another commeth in with his five egges and adviseth to hooke in the King of Castile with some hope of affinitie or allyance and to bring to their part certaine Peeres of his Court for great Pensions Whiles they all stay at the chiefest doubt of all what to doe in the
