THE SOVERAIGNE OF THE SEAS BVILTE IN THE YEARE 1637 The Common-wealths Ship commonly called the Soveraign of the Seas with her bulke and burden BEFORE I come to give you a true and exact Dimension of her bulke burden c. it is necessary that I make some satisfaction to the world concerning those Decorements which beautifie and adorne her and to render a faire account of mine owne invention concerning the carving worke the Figures and Mottoes upon them which some perhaps have too liberally taxed Thus therefore to any who have formerly either doubted of their propriety or are at this present desirous to understand their imagined obscurity I thus freely deliver my selfe Upon the Beak-head sitteth royall King Edgar on horsebacke trampling upon seven Kings Concerning those Kings whom you may perceive to lye prostrate under his Horses hoofes they were Kynadus King of the Scots Malcolme King of Cumberland and of the petty Kings of Wales Dufnall Grifith Huvall Jacob Judithil He moreover surprized by Sea a Prince of the Romans whose name was Maxentius who had done many out-rages upon the Ocean and was the greatest Arch-pirate that those times afforded He also compelled Ludwallus prime Prince and King of Cambria which is Wales because he would have all the ravenous dammageous Beasts to be destroyed through the Land to pay unto him yearly by way of Tribute three hundred Wolves skins by reason whereof within the space of forty yeares after in England or Wales both which but especially Wales who before were miserably infested with that kind of beast there was scarcely to be fouud one Wolfe alive and so much for the Princes over which he had sole dominion His Navy Royall consisted of three thousand and sixe hundred Ships such as they used in those dayes yet not any of them but serviceable either for Fight or bearing Victuall and munition to furnish the Navy which he divided into three parts appointing to every of them a severall squadron and this hee did to secure Navigators from Enemies and Sea-Rovers as also from all other neighbour Princes who might challenge any interest in these our foure Seas And therefore every Spring and Summer he in person sayled with those in the East parts to them that lay hovering in the West And sending them backe againe with their Charge would with the West squadrant saile into the North and after with the Northern Fleet compasse into the East by which the Maine Ocean rounding those Islands of which he was sole Prince and Monarch being at his onely charge both quieted and secured he did as justly he might write himselfe Lord of the foure Seas I began at the Beak-head where I desire you to take notice that upon the stemme-head there is Cupid or a Child resembling him bestriding and bridling a Lyon which importeth That sufferance may curbe Insolence and Innocence restraine violence On the Bulk-head right forward stand six severall Statues in sundry postures their Figures representing Consilium that is Counsell Cura that is Care Conamen that is Industry and unanimous indeavour in one compartment Counsell holding in her hand a closed or folded Scrole Care a Sea-compasse Conamen or Industry a Lint stock fixed Upon the other to correspond with the former Vis which implyeth force or strength handing a Sword Virtus or Vertue a sphearicall Globe and Victoria or Victory a wreath of Lawrell The Morall is that in all high Enterprizes there ought to be first Counsell to undertake then Care to manage and Industry to performe and in the next place where there is ability and strength to oppose and Vertue to direct Victory consequently is alwayes at hand ready to crowne the undertaking Upon the Hances of the waste are foure Figures with their severall properties Jupiter riding upon his Eagle with his Trisulke from which he darteth Thunder in his hand Mars with his Sword and Target a Foxe being his Embleme Neptune with his Sea-horse Dolphin and Trident and lastly Aeolus upon a Camelion a Beast that liveth only by the Ayre with the foure Windes his Ministers or Agents the East cal'd Eurus Subsolanus and Apeliotes the North-winde Septentrio Aquilo or Boreas the West Zephyrus Favonius Lybs and Africus the South Auster or Notus I come now to the Stearn where you may perceive upon the upright of the upper Counter standeth Victory in the middle of a Frontispiece with this generall motto Validis incumbite remus It is so plain that I shall not need to give it an English interpretation Her wings are equally displayed on one Arme she weareth a Crowne on the other a Lawrel which imply Riches and Honour in her two hands she holdeth two Mottoes her right hand which pointeth to Jason bears this Inscription Nava Jason being figured with his Oare in his hand as being the prime Argonant and say Nava or more plainly Operam nava for in those Emblematicall Mottoes quod subintelligitur non deest She pointeth to Hercules on the finister side with his Club in his hand with this motto O Hercules be thou as valiant with thy Club upon the Land as Jason is industrious with his Oare upon the Water Hercules again pointing to Aeolus the god of Windes saith Flato who answereth him againe Flo Jason pointing to Neptune the god of the Seas riding upon a Sea horse saith Favelo to whom Neptune answereth No These words Flo and No were also much excepted at as if there had been no
