LONDINI In aedibus Thomae Marshe ¶ To the ryghte hyghe and myghtye Prynce Edward by the grace of God Duke of Somerset gouernour of the kynges maiestees most royall person and protectour of all his hyghnesse realmes dominions and subiectes Thomas Cooper wysheth all wealth and perfite felicitie AL be it righte excellente prince your affabilltye and clemencie is such and so great that all people of euery state and degree as well poore as riche maye at all conueniente times haue free accesse to your grace and haue their reasonable suites complayntes and peticions benignely heard and accordynge to equitee iustice and good conscience depeched so that therby it is verye likely that the true knowledge of the state and condicion of the weale publike is at all tymes to your grace reueled opened Yet because well nere in all common weales and aboute all suche noble and good princes there haue ben some which for their owne commoditee aduancement displeasure or other affection haue so letted and hindered true report that it could not frankly come foorthe it is a thyng much to be feared and with all wisedome and prudence to be foresene lest any such might perchance hereafter couertly crepe in fauour as by flatterye and dissimulacion would endeuour to abuse your godly gentilnesse as suche haue dooen the like natures of other most vertuous and worthie gouernours before tyme and by that meanes not onely blemyshe greatly the immortal prayses that your grace shoulde moost woorthily deserue of all men for your godly and politike gouernaunce but also tourne this noble realme to muche trouble and hindrance For neuer did there chaunce greatter mischiefe to any commâ—n weale neuer were the vertuous natures of greate rulers so soone corrupted as either when they haue ben misinstructed and wronge infourmed by flatterers or els when those that were in moste fauour and credyte dissimuâ—ing the trueth in stede of equitee iustice haue wrought their owne purposes Was not the good kyng Darius by wicked persuasioÌ„s induced euen against his conscience to committe Daniel the prophete of god to the daunger of the cruell and hungrie lions had not the diuelish counsaile of Haman persuaded Assuerus without cause to destroy the whole nacion of the Iewes for malice that he bare to Mardocheus ne had the singuler prouydence of God in Hester preserued theim to what misgouernaunce and vicious liuyng did Perennius Cleander other bring the emperour Commodus notwithstanding the graue and sage counsailours lefte hym by his father Marcus Antonius did any thing so much corrupte the nature of the valiant conqueroure Alexander and so greatly blemish his fame and glorye as that he had his eares so open to flatterers whiche made hym to thinke that he was the sonne of their greate god Iupiter yea almoste that he was a god and no mortall man Wherfore the wyse emperour Gordian had good cause to saie that he was a wretched prince from whom v ertuous counsaile the trueth of matters was hidde by flatery Yea in mine opinion it were farre more tollerable that the soueraine were euyll him selfe then that hys nere friendes seruauntes or famylyars whome he trusteth should bee flatterers couetous or malisyous For suche persons shal not onely theim selfes dooe muche euyl but also by false informacion corruptinge the high ruler if it be possible allure hym to dooe the lyke to the peryll and daunger bothe of hym selfe and of the weale publike Therfore wisemen haue alwayes iudged them most worthie to be extremely punished to the example of al other like as the noble emperour Alexander for his sharpe iustice named Seuerus caused Vetronnis Thurinus with smoke to be smuddered to death because in matters of suite he had taken bribes for false reporte of the emperours fauour For the noble gouernour suspecting no such eueil to be in them for how long wold it be ere the wilie waies of such subtile reâ—nardes maye be spyed out may lightly be misledde and do the more â—o he wold not if he wist surely how the truth went And this daunger hath alwayes bene so much the thynge be feared as that witty men perceyuyng thinges to be in suchewise mishandled by theim that were in great fauour with their princes durst not or at the least wold not speake and discouer the greuous hurtes of the commen weale some for feare to be hindred by those familiars so to lose their dignitees offices auctoritees some for great hope that they had to be by their reporte commended and therby aduaunced to some promocion or high roome in the common weale So that I gather hereby righte excellente prince that of all other it is a thinge mooste difficile and harde to rule well and for a chiefe magistrate and gouernour to be truly and without dissimulacion informed in euerye case as the notable saying of king Antiochus doth well declare who on a time of hunting being strayed from his company and benighted was fayne to take for his harborowe a poore cotage of the countrey and there as he was vnknowen at supper with the vplandishe people through communication heard diuers thinges frelye talked of his owne behauour Therfore on the morow when his ministers brought to him his purpre raiment and diademe he tourning to those ensignes sayed Sins the time I first began to were you yesterday only and neuer before I herd the truth frankly spoken Wherfore the best and most sure waye for a noble gouernour after the counsaile of the excellent philosopher Demetrius is to reade such bookes as most wittily and pithilye treate of the states of common weales and namely histories in the which he shall playnelye see sette foorth before his eyes what best beseemeth him to dooe what to eschew what maye aduaunce the state of his common weale what maye hurte and hynder the same howe and by what meanes hatred and grudge is bredde toward him and howe and by what wayes he maye wynne loue and fauour What maketh his realme weake what maketh it stronge What maketh it wealthye and riche what maketh it poore and beggarly what maketh it floryshe many yeres â–ª what maketh it miserable in short space in bookes shall he lerne to know the wilie flattering foxes from his sure and trustye friendes good and faythfull ministers from false feigning dissemblers Whom and how he ought to chose his
