Et in profunditatem Abyssorum ambulavi in fluctibus maris in tota terra Marcus Agrippa was honoured with an Azure Banner from Augustus after a Victory obtained by him in the Sicilian Sea Again if you consider the Martial Field she comes forth armed with a Crystal Shield for God having made man unarmed gave him therefore a perspicuous understanding and reason to arm himself the Chief representing the most superiour part of Man the natural power of the inferiour Air being nothing else but Vita vaporis which if we follow the common Path by this Line separating it from the starry Heaven we may find that the Shield as well as the Air hath three Regions whereof the highest is exceeding hot fitly represented by the Chief indented by reason of its Vicinitude to the fiery Element and Stars by the force of whose Beam it receiveth heat and so being charged upon may signifie one whose active heat hath kindled his undertakings The second or middle Region which is always cold is fitly represented by the Nebule or waved Line for that as that Region of its own nature would be warmer were it not cooled by a cold Occasion by the reflection of the Sun Beams So this may aptly signifie a Person whose fortune frowns and keeps him under though IN ANGVSTIIS ELEVATVR The lower Region is something contrary to the former for it is said to be hot and moist fitly represented by the ingrailed Line hot by reason of the Sun Beams meeting with the Earth and moist by reason of the proper Nature of the Air being partly indented and partly waved And thus very fitly by these Elementary Qualities are signified men of different Qualities and by each of these Charges is signified mens several Talents all Meteors being of three sorts either fiery watery or airy to which Lines are suited in the SPHERE of GENTRY and are of several fashions according to diverse disposing of the Matter so the reward was always suited to the Bearer The Heralds made the people peace the Seniors then did bear The voiceful Heralds scepters sate within a sacred Sphere On polish'd stones and gave by turns their sentence in the Court Two Talents Gold were given to him that judged in justest sort So that here is the just Law of Arms in the Court of Honour having a Peny of Plate for the just Plaintiff and a Bezant of Gold for the just Judge polished Stones Torteauxes Heurts Pomises and Gunstons for in the Shield of Achilles there was two Cities that of Political Nobility and that of Martial Ornament bestowing Military Rewards on Military Persons and honourable Robes on Persons of civil Endowments Princes and Nobles bearing Ermine as Ensigns of Magistracy and Ornaments of Entertainments and Globes and Mounds as Signs of Government and Conquest The one did Nuptial celebrate Observing at them solemn Feasts Other where A solemn Court of Law was kept where throngs of people werr The Question was a Fiue imposed on one that slew The Friend of him that followed it and for the Fine did sue Whieh tother pleaded he had paid the adverse part deny'd And openly affirm'd he had no penny satisfi'd Volvuntur nec fas una est consistere parte Ut coepit cursus verum est pars cuilibet aequae And see Queis sunt humanum terrestria curae The Naturalist doth attribute to the Second Days Work the appearances of many Suns and fiery Pillars and Beams and Rainbows c.

Honour'd Sir BEtween Knights and Doctors of the Law hath ever been Question for Precedency since either of them hath been in credit in Commonweals as testifieth that learned Knight and Doctor of the Civil Law Sir Thomas Ridley as may appear both by the comparison that Tully maketh between Lucius Murena a Knight of Rome and Publius Sulpitius a Lawyer either of them standing for the Consulship which although it be disputable in foreign Countreys where the Civil Law is in credit yet here among us where all preferments taken from it and the Professors thereof are shut up as it were into a narrow Corner of their Profession it is without controversie and the Prioity thereof indubitable But this is the Resolution of those which are learned in the Point that in such Acts as concern Learning a Doctor is to be preferred before a Knight but in Acts that concern Military Knowledge a Knight takes place before a Doctor But in other Acts that are neither proper to the one nor to the other first are preferred such Doctors as attend about the Prince Secondly such Knights
