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

He is the first also of Tenne Kings Christians that should hate the whore making her become naked and desolate should eate hir flesh and burne her with fire So may we also say that hee hath chaunged his Name like vnto Iacob to resemble him in all thinges Of the sixt hee is come to bee the first and of King of Scotland of England he is now the King of Great Brittaine c.

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

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

ninth in Sur-name among Kinges in Scotland as of Name in England for the greater height of his good fortune This young Prince is a warrior alreadie both in gesture and countenance so that in looking on him he seemeth vnto vs that in him we do yet see Aiax before Troy crowding among the armed Troops calling vnto them that he may ioyne body to body with Hector who standes trembling with chill-cold feare to see him seek to determine the difference in the inclosed Field or Lists Hee can neuer permit that anie other should step before him in an occasion so remarkable Honour was all his nouriture and Greatnesse his pastime as it was saide of Alexander and Triumph the ordinary end of al his Actions What though his desires bee impeached by a much stronger desire and his deuoire retarded by a Naturall dutie and by an obedience which in this occasion only is contrary and contrary to his owne affection Yet let it not be immagined that the execution of great desseignes are vtterly lost by deferrence and delay Deferred not in regarde of weakenesse or impuissance but referred to fit season to do nothing against the order of Nature or contrarie to the will of his father who woulde alwayes haue his Sonne for Obiect and subiect of contentment by his presence Contrarie to the Ottomans who coulde not nor can endure the youngnesse of their Children their very shadow gaines them so many other suspicious shaddowes and their presence excludeth them from all kinds of pleasures His Maiestie hath also another Sonne Duke Charles who shineth in the two Kingdomes of Scotland and England like the other twinne-Starre and who promiseth vs that as the Sun is at the very highest in Gemini euen so God in the same maner will very quickly raise and exalt Great Brittain in the Apogaeum of his Greatnesse And that hee will make the succession of the house of Steuart not onely equally vnto the worlds continuance but the world it self equal to his succession and to the sacred stirpe of his Maiesty This is it wherunto the full end of his greatnesse is assigned and where he hath laide the bases of his very greatest Trophees This is the point where his Angle endeth this is the extreamity of his line and this is the center of his circumference Wherein we discern at last sight the difference of the house of Cyrus which was of small cōtinuance because they did not acknowledge God who elected them to that of Our King whom he multiplieth encreaseth euery day awaiting vntill God shall come from the south to chase away that rude Oxe and dissolue the captiuity of the Waters which are frozen to make them run in Torrents and like Riuers in the South That is to say the extermination of Antichrists race by that of Steuart to deliuer those poore soules which vnder the coldnesse of this barbarous impiety are so miserably captiued by the heate of the South which is the Grace of the Holy ghost and Faith and Christian piety That the garden of the Spouse may be so breathed by this wind as the odorifferous iuices thereof may distill on all sides by a renewing of holinesse and deuotion in all the waies vpon earth and causing that they which are at the South as it is written in Abdias that is to say the true Christians which are in the South shall possesse the Mount of Esau and make themselues Maisters of that Estate Euen so may we hope one day to see that vnder the name and family of Steuart all Christendome shall flourish in an absolute Monarchy For the Maister who hath placed him ouer his housholde to giue them all thinges in due time hath found him a faithfull and wise Spender and Steward or a good Oeconomicus in his dealing Wherefore he hath said vnto vs that in very deed he will commit all his goodes to him And the Lord who hath giuen him those fiue tallents in keeping when he taketh his account of him will find that he hath made profit of them that he hath gained fiue more by aboue them Wherefore he will say vnto him It is well done good seruant thou hast bin faithful in a few small things I will set and constitute thee ouer much more enter into the ioy of thy Lord. For the rest Romaine antiquity hath obserued that in the family of the Fabij there were three Princes of the Senate In that of the Curij three Orators In some so many Censors In others as many Dictators But in the family of the Steuarts there are not three or foure to be noted but many great Lords and Princes who haue all made apparance of the greatnes of their valour throughout the world and perticularly they that are of the braunch of Noble Lennox Their piety appeared with Saint Lewes their courage against your enemies O French-men and their fidelity at al times towards the Realm of Fraunce our Chronicles doe report them Also the memory of those voyages in the East doe witnesse them and your Histories themselues are ful of their praises which whosoeuer shall read wil find them as so many sharp spurs inciting to vertue Such as haue read the manuscripts of that race or seen The Galleries of Verrerye in Soulongne wil confesse that they neuer read either among the Greekes or Latines any thing comming neere to their naturall generosity From this vertue came it to aduance Messire Berault Steuart Lorde of Aubigny and of Croitet Knight of the Order Captayne of the Guard to his Ma-body Great Constable of Scicily and of Ierusalem and his Highnesse Lieutenant Generall in the kingdome of Naples And hence an infinite number of other al Captains of Guard to the Body of the Chamber Counsellors Marshals or Constables of France And hence also Messire Bernard Steuart Marshall of France that gaue so much exercise vnto the Emperour Charles the fift who vanquished and tooke Prisoner in Piedmont that great Romaine Captaine Prosper Colonnus in the yeare 1515. according to the Relation of our French Authors And whence at this instant is sprung Dux inter primos praestanti corpore LENOX who for his excellent and singuler partes hath not forsaken vs althogh he be called into Great Brittaine to bee the Honour of Honors to the French Let the Parthians vaunt them of their Arsaces the Greeks of their Egides and the Romuines of their Emilij Fabij Curij and Marcelli Great Brittaine makes vaunt of her Steuarts and of nothing more then of her Steuarts Nec Phoebo gratior vlla est Principis haec quam quae praefixit pagina nomen Prince most generous and Magnanimious happy Henry the delight of Heauen the loue of the Earth and the Titus of humaine kinde neuer feare that the victories of MY KING will leaue you nothing to conquer Enter not into that ambitious ielousy with Alexander who seeing the fortunat progresse of his Fathers affairs how victoriously he went on ioyning Citty to Citty and Prouince to
