THE Triumphs of King Iames THE FIRST Of Great BRITTAINE FRANCE and IRELAND King DEFENDER OF THE FAITH Published vpon his Maiesties aduertisement to all the Kings Princes and Potentates of Christendome and confirmed by the wonderfull Workes of GOD declared in his life Deuoted Dedicated and Consecrated to the most excellent Prince Henry Prince of Wales Printed at Brittaines Bursse for Iohn Budge and are there to be solde 1610. To the High Mighty and Magnanimous Prince Henry Eldest Sonne to the King Prince of Wales Duke of Cornwall and Rothsay Earle of Chester and Knight of the most Noble Order of the Garter c. ¶ Most generous and redoubted Prince The Honour and Ornament of your age The Hope of your people The Subiect and Obiect whereon their most happy wishes dependeth The STARRE of their fairest Fortune The COMMET of dreadfull terrour to their enemies The Index Abstract or Compendium of the very greatest Princes whatsoeuer HEere vpon the rich Piller of your glorious name do I hang vp The Trophees the Honour of MY KING your Father sowne through France and dispersed ouer the whole world Such holie spoiles are worthie your auouching because they are due vnto none other but onelie vnto your HIGHNESSE in regarde that a person who is so neere vnto you hath conquered won them And his Triumphant Triumphes are the auguries harbingers vant-currers of your infallible fortunes to come euen as your owne Vertues do serue for a pattern and example to them of MY LORD the Duke your Brother Accept them then My Lord by your fauorable looks giue them all a speaking-power as the Sunnes reflectiō did on the Image of Memnon And beleeue that as one of yours you shall finde me readier to lay hand on my sword for you then on my pen and would rather spend my blood then mine Inke for your honour and seruice in al and by all My young CAESAR and great ALEXANDER THou Eye of Europe the Soule the Heart the delight of all thy neighbours France Mother of curtesie and our ancient friend Suffer that with a voice of Brasse I may make heard through all the Corners of the earth euen to those worldes which yet are furthest off cry out to that Iacobine Monke and that Proselite PELLITIER Do no euil at al vnto my King For so cryed out the Sonne of Croesus dumbe all his life time before vntill hee saw the sword drawne to wound his father If the childe for the Father why not then the Subiect for his Prince Their loue ought to be alike or equall in semblable actions alike also ought to bee their duties because the people are helde to be the Princes Children For I see that these two audacious and presumptuous Phaetons do labour by their flattering answeres as with a Delphian sword to open the bosome or breast of MY KING to strike at his heart with a deadly stab and to giue him the lie more couertly then Tortus to his shame hath doone coueting to impresse lies and falsities in the soules of euery one Their painted speeches and goodly protestations makes my haire stand vp as affrighted pales my countenance smites my hart teares open my lippes to entreat you good Frenchmen to credite them no further then Our King hath done Hee alwayes deriueth sound iudgement from words by the verie mouing of the toong he knoweth the harts of them that make such Orations to him Wherfore in beholding their books he hath saide with God Hilabijs me honorant cor autē eorum longe est a me These men honor me with their lips but their harts are far off from me In like maner there is nothing more daungerous then the teeth of a Serpent hid vnder greene hearbes and the throat of a wolfe hauing on a sheeps habit Wo be to them that cal euill good and good euill that make darknesse light and light darknesse and that call bitternesse sweetnesse and sweetnesse bitternes Wo be to you Scribes and Pharisies Hypocrites for you compasse both sea and land to the end to make one Proselite and when he is made you yeild him vp as the Sonne of Hell doouble worse then your selues What impudence was it in a cloistred Priest in a priuat person to shew himselfe in open field to cope with a great and powerful king when Kinges haue beene at all times without Peere and free from fight except it were with others kings Honor is not to be had but by an equal Alexander being desirous to win the prize in the course of the Olimpian games demanded continually Is there any kings that runne The like may our King very well question Is there any Kings that answere Jt is to them to whom his Maiesty hath directed his aduertisement and it is to them only to make answere Monarkes Kings Princes and Potentates of Christendome where are your Prouost Marshals then Where are your Lictours and Sergeants to seize on these saucy gamesters Where are your Lawes and Edicts to punish these proud presumers that durst set footing within your Lists to steppe before you in so faire a Race or Carriere Stirre Magistrates lay hold on these base Hackny-runners in so braue a fight and do you beat downe the insolence of these rash headed Athletes or malepart Champions There lackes Tortures for Tortus to breake the bridles of such silly naked soules and bolster their crazed braines a little better to the end to make Coeffeteau confesse and Pelletier professe the truth perforce according to the rule of truth it selfe These prooues are to bee vanquished with other Reasons then those whereby they labor to refute them else it wil neuer be done Heresy findeth daily something to re-say and to confound Paper withall some meanes to saue himselfe either by flight or obstinacy of opinion because he wil neuer confesse his errour much lesse deliuer vp his Armes Euen so the Pharisies and the Saduces being beaten downe by the mouth Diuine would yet suddenly exalt themselues again without confessing either their fal or the offence So Pericles throwne headlong downe and euen almost buried in the dust would yet perswade the whole Theater that he deserued to be crowned So that Hippomachus of whome Plinie speaketh and the other of the Acolians would needs be proclaimed victorious conquerors after they had breathed forth their 's soules vnder their enemies feete And so this Antaeus and his companions already stifled in the gripes of our Christian Hercules would faine perswade the worlde that being themselues vanquished yet they stand vp still as vanquishers All such brablings and contentious disputes doe but whet on Choller and harden bad spirits as being more apt to moue sedition and disobedience then to affoorde anie fruitfull edifying Let then their shamelesse fore-heads bee circkled with Crownes such as the Romains vsed in their Consull festiuals for their Arcadian Monsters rather then any answeare bee made vnto them except it be by the hand of Thomas Dury

would God I had neuer learned the first Elements of Letters when no Question is to be made but that hee is able to warrant himselfe with his pen onely against the Tyranies of Antichrist Not any I am perswaded could be so idely conceited Let vs then chearefully auouch it and in the fauour of his Triumph engraue in great letters on the bases of this statue the secret sence which is hidden in his Armes euen in the Frontispice of his Apology which is Iames Triumphant That as in all parts by Gods grace is spread his Royall Name So may the worlds remotest Lands both know and speake his fame To the end that these Ground Moles who neuer sawe their own eimpudence may scent or smell it out by those goodly Carracters And if to them it may seeme inopinate as I beleeue it let them then take-occasion to consider wel yea and weigh what they promise or portend as in an interlaced misticall Cipher The Authour is Iames the Great Monark the Protectour and Propagator of the Faith the Rampart of Christendome the Fort and Bulwarke of the Church the Succour of true Catholiques the Enemy of Heretiques the Terrour of Infidels the Support of the Afflicted the Tamer of Monsters the Example of Charity and the Blessing of his time Which the very blindest will bee enforced to confesse considering the assistaunce of God in all his actions and how he hath preserued him from so many dangers euen by extraordinarie maruels wherefore by good right he deserueth to be accounted The King of wonders or The wonder of kings The Miracle of the ages present to come For my selfe when I come to cōsider by what meanes he hath bin hitherto preserued I am euen swallowed vp in admiration and the more contradictions and assaults J find by so many Esaus the more I reuerence those high conditions wherunto God hath brought him for he could not come into the world but through the danger of blowes euen amongest the horrors of blood death As we plainly see that the Rose cannot be gathred without pricking to giue the greater sound to his vertues he was borne to wade through diuers dangers For to let sleepe in silence that wicked attempt and the very Non-pareile offer that euer was aduentured euen to smite him quite thorough the heart in the womb of the late Queen his Mother of happy memory foure monethes before he saw the light of this world it may suffice that it could not so haue happened but by the very speciall prouidence of God to make the whole vniuerse stand amazed therat as the spectator of our bloudiest Tragedies So in his very birth likewise he held Esau by the heele in his Cradle in imitation of great Hercules he smothered strangled great store of Serpents In the tenderest of his youth his enimies who had no assured subiect wherein to lodge their ambitiō but in the Mazer or cup of his destruction they feared not to attempt by open force But heauen being much stronger then the poison dissipated and quailed all their disseignes Desseignes in very deede ouer-bold to some to see them so highly pearched or placed in an instant whose execution drew on so many miseries and calamities in our Countrey as I am ashamed to speak it except it be to expresse the great blessings of God towards our Iacob Who as he went to Padan-baran or towards Denmarke to take a wife in the Royal house of the King how cruelly was he assayled by furious Medeaes and his owne chiefe Ship foulded vp in stearne Tempests Contrary Windes did afflict it beate and driue it euery where they excited and blew the Waues which swelled foamed roared and gaped with open mouths to swallow him And as the winds wrastled on either side against the Mast the sayles and the maine yard behold euen in labouring with al their might to deuoure him they proued the cause of his happy escape and with full sayles through all the stormes brought him to Port Laetus in which place al Scotland at his return welcommed him with singular ioyfulnesse Euen as the whole Isle receiued Constantine the Great at his home returne from strange wars by deliuering him these words in the mouth of Optatianus Porphyrius Omnis ab Arctois plaga finibus horrida Cauro Pacis amat cana comperta perennia iura Et tibi fida tuis semper benè militat armis Résque gerit virtute tuas populósque feroces Propellit cedítque lubens tibi debita rata Et tua victores sors accipit hinc tibi fortes Teque Duce inuictae attollant signe cohortes Congratulating also the fortunate comming of the Queene by this discourse in effect and affection but in wordes much better shaped couched MAgnificent Great Princesse Sacred blood of the Danes Race Royall Wife Daughter Sister to a King If I should receiue into my Ports and on my shores the Great Iuno of Candy the Daughter of old Saturne the Wife Sister of Iupiter of Creet Jf I should receiue Palas herselfe Minerua her selfe the Great Semiramis the Stately Cleopatra the Empresse Zenobia If I should receiue euen hir that wears at this day the Crowne of the Romain Empire the Empire of the East the Kingdomes of Spaine of Hungaria of Poland of Egipt of Prester Iohn and all that which the Great Signeur or Turke hath and may haue for his Queene yet could I not receiue a more great Princesse then you MADAME for Royalty of bloode Luster of Nobility and Noblenesse of so auncient a Family neither could I receiue a Princesse more splendant in Beauty and all good Graces Come then Great Queene by your comming make mee most happy Happy shall you long time be in Scotland and to Scotland and for the greater height of your Glorie bee you also a happy Mother of Kings Which she shall be God assisting as already by his especiall blessing and more then particuler fauour her Maiesty hath had My Lord the Prince of VVales My Lord the Duke of Yorke and the Lady Elizabeth their Sister and thereby not only makes Scotland happy but al Great Brittaine whereon dependeth their peace and freedom from strife euen as the presence of the Halcions do make the Sea calme commodious for Nauigation which wanting before in that Empires felicity makes it now an Empire abounding in felicity Shee hath established our Delos and hath set vs aboue the winds as safe sheltred from all stormes by the firme assurances of so faire a succession this sufficeth not only for the coniunction conseruation of this Estate but also for the increasing thereof Wherefore no kingdome in the worlde is there which hath more occasion to glad it selfe in her Queene then Great Brittain in her Gracious Queene or in the faire and vertuous Lady Anne But alas Our King after this voyage of his was yet againe pursued by tumultuous Trauellers but beholde how our Vlisses escaped the cruelty of
