Prouince Surely quoth he to his souldiers my Father will win all and leaue nothing famous or Magnificent for me to conquer with you You must triumph with him as did the Sonnes of Emilius and of Commodus with their Fathers and the children of Marcus Caesar with Mark Anthony In fights the disposition and order must be committed to his iudgement and his iudgement must bee referred to the executiō of your sword against all Refractaties Yours shall bee the arme and strength but his the head and Counsel Yours the paine and endeuour his the effect Yours the Action but he the Agent You for him he for you and you and hee ioyntly together shall win an immortall glory to the end that al the world may see you in effect after the same manner as one figured Caesar aloft deposing or treading a Globe vnder him holding a book in one hand and a sword in the other so that it may be saide of you That for the one other you are a Caesar And you Prince and Duke Duke Prince Charles Beloued of all who may holde it as much honour to be called Sonne to the King of Great Brittaine c. as Charles King of Ierusalem Naples and Scicily Brother of Saint Lewes to name himselfe Son to the K. of France or Charles King of Arragon and of Valencia in the same manner Remember that you are the Sonne of a King as Menedemus saide in the eare of young Antigonus You the excellencie of my Hope and the Sacred Anker of him who seeketh no other happinesse in this world then in your seruice neither any honour then what may be pleasing vnto you Methinkes I see a Sword in your hand and you vpon the walles of Nicomedia Nicea Antioche and Tripoli ayming at the fairest through all perilles euen in the lesser Asia take perforce Ierusalem again by assault after the siedge of fiue and thirtie dayes Go generous Race go gather Laurels in the fieldes of Armenia enfrachise the Palus Maeotides enter into Lycaonia Bricea Trabasonde chase the Turbants from those Prouinces and making a new world sur-name those Prouinces after your Name Who steppes vp to driue the Lydian out of his house and leaue nothing but the Tartesian Cat Oh that I might see MY KING glorified vniuersally and Great Brittaine made Famous in the loue of Christendome and to the astonishment of the Infidels Oh that with one common hand wee might Warre on the Mahometane and that his Trophees might no more be shamefull Markes of our generall calamity Let vs be the first vpon their squadrons and all armed march for the conquest of the Holy-Land so much honored by God by the beginning of his Church Let vs crosse the seas and as they who to animate others cryed in the Shippe Itorus Itorus the Maister say Behold heere is the Master Let vs be the first to aduance our Standards vpon the Ramparts of Constantinople daunting all them that shall seek to tardie our desseignes and let vs free the way to the whole Army to the end that In raigne so great of such a great raigne raigning By force of Armes the greatest gates of Brasse Were made to open the King and Duke so ioyning Beat downe sunke Shippes a fairer day neere was And that insteade of a Tyrant Fratricide My Lord and Maister might be honoured respected and obeyed as the lawfull Prince and true nourisher of his subiects You also Duke and Prince a Peere sans Peer in all Great Brittaine You the Iolaus of our Hercules the Claterus and the Hephestion of Our ALEXANDER You my Omphis my Benefactor according as Xenocrates called his Iupiter Remember that you are a Branch of this great Tree Looke in the olde Tables of your Predecessors and their Lawrels all dustie but with the dust of Honor. You wise and prudent Lodowicke honoured so many times with royall honors of Lenox Grace of Graces that haue left France your Natiue country to be alwaies by and at the right hand of Our King as not able to loose the sight of him neither be further off frō his Maiesty then the Sun frō the Eccliptick line You that giue so many wholsom counsels for the preseruation of his estate person giue likewise your Vowes and Prayers to that Iupiter Hypsistius which is the most high God that Heresie may for euer be stifled and by the same Diuinity of Our King which is his cheefest practise his owne aduise in assaying to restore the little wandering flocke to the folde of the Church by a National counsel or one Oecumenical or Vniuersall it cannot but bee hoped This is the onely remedy for these euilles as his Maiesty very well acknowledgeth and the best meanes to conuert the most Learned and lesser oppinitiue This is the voyce wish and desire yea euen the very finall cutting off of all our pretended Romaine Catholiques To take excuse from the one side and giue pretext to the other as it behooueth to conuince them Viua voce as they haue been often enough by learned writings as well of his Maiesty as by others before they bee constrained That we might see with patience their Reasons layde on the boord and our Combate with them to be in mildnes and modesty This is the desseigne of my discourse and the perfection of my Paraenesis or accomplishment of my wish Oh that you might see these temerarious spirites which hurle dust in the eyes of trueth in thinking to dazell ours should yeild vp their Weapons into the hands of his Maiesty to offer them at his seruice and take the Oath of his faithfull obedience You shoulde see them suddainly surprized like the complices in Cilones conspiracy at the Temple of Minerua and all run in zeale of affection to the Palmes Laurels and Crownes which his Maiesty hath proposed as their recompence in such an happy and profitable conuersion All such as are capable of the aduancement of such a fruitfull desseigne ought to bestowe their watchfull paines and Trauaile to the honour of God and the safety of the King for the conuersion or confusion of all our papists and for the quiet of our Countrey if not of all the whole world Nor do I thinke heerein that any one ought to be so arrogant or ouer-weening as he shold seeke to giue a Lesson of wisedom to My Learned King or should teach his experience or cleare his knowledge or be a guide to his discretion for following time Neither thinke I that there is any one so bold-faced or presumptuous as to censure his proceedings past or to come In either of these arrogancies we should behold but a Souldiour-like Phormio an Asseearde Mydas a Croote-nosed Corebus a tedious Hisser a prating Xenophanes and one altogether like to Mineruaes Hog or Apollos Marsyas I should repute such a Hermes without shame worthy the paines and punishment of Hermea his Maiesty being more able then any other to giue forme to euery action and hath neuer forced by

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

learnedly testifieth vnto vs Was there euer any Prince more forgetfull of wrongs and more apt to remit iniuries done against him then his Maiesty euen then when he might be very easily reuenged How many Actes of Parliament full of benignitie clemency and kindnesse hath hee set toorth since his happy comming to the Crowne of England euen towards his very enimies themselues which is the onely reason that his subiects both loue and obey him the more willingly and that straungers ought to bee the more respectiue of him For my selfe J may say that by good right of him which the Romaine Orator did of Iulius Caesar Hee is a great Iusticer Vpright Equall true But in all his vertues there is none more Great more Excellent or more commendable then is his Clemency and Benignity I speake not this as a Learner or beeing Tutored thereto but out of knowledge and good experience and as one willing with poore Vzza to set a hand to helpe the Arke whereof J feared the falling And if I haue done it with out any great paine yet am I glad that it hath returned me no danger and so long as I shall haue any iot of life in mee I will publish euerie where and sing in heart though it bee to my selfe En tibi praepetibus foelix victoria pennis Quae volat laet am adducit Clementiapacem Vnde salus populis te Rege Iacobe beatis But fearing the like inconuenience as that which happened vnto the High-Priest Cecilius Metellus for hauing dared to be so bold as to put his hand neere to the Statue of the Goddesse Pallas I am constrained to turne my sight from the faire Eye of the Worlde His Beams do force me to kisse the very liddes of those eyes euen as the perfection and proportion of his other Visible parts do restraine my tongue from deliuering the misticall and Physiognomicall sence of euery one of them In like maner it was neuer mine intention to note al the Anatomical considerations of his Imperial Body or to pierce any further then vnto the subtiltie of our owne reach and apprehension which dooth sufficiently content it selfe to referre all the functions of his parts to the apparent appearance thereby to erect a Triumph not onely fully rich but also morral to following posterity We will beginne with his Crowne which is the Ornament for the Head the chiefest member and that which is most honourable of all the body euen that part wherein are composed al the principal instruments of life by the perfection of numbers This rich chief part is crowned to the end that his enemies beholding the same should enter into the apprehensions of Cassander King of Macedon who hauing founde the Statue of Alexander entred into such a fear that he trembled at the verie sight thereof And to let bee seene that meere glory hath defended him from his greatest aduersaries they shoulde bring him no such fraile Crownes wherewith in elder times they were wont to honor the Conquetors in the Olympian Pythian Ismyan and Nemean games but that duety which shineth in heauen and can neuer bee withered because it was first wrought and wouen with the verie fingers of the sonne of God himselfe It is a Crown of Gold enriched with Pearls and precious Stones Of Gold which reioyceth the heart healeth all putride Vlcers Woolfes or rotted corruption To declare thereby that this King shall beare the precious Balme the Cataplasme and Seare-cloath to heale vlcered hearts and consciences euen those which are most fired and cauthorized thereby to bring the new birth againe of the former Golden dayes of Saturne The Pearles are the Hieroglyphickes of his soules immaculate whitenesse or integrity do testifie vnto the whole worlde that hee is Protector of Innocency and Truth The Diamonds do shine and deliuer a clear white luster which cheareth the eye The Rubies do dart foorth to sight very straunge flaming beams which may offend some perhaps more then they please These are the two most precious Stones aboue all other the Symboles or Creeds of our Churches Nothing can bite or cut the Diamond but the Diamond it selfe neither can we shape or figure any thing else therby of any indamagement or hurt towards vs but it must come by our owne selues The Diamond is inuulnerable and not to be bruised by hammers on the Anuile but wil enter farre into the Ruby who is subiect to be wrought therewith penetrated cut carued or imprinted thereon in whatsoeuer a man pleaseth euen as our beleese worketh the like effectes in vnbeleeuing harts which they may very aptly signifie The Sphear-like forme of his Crowne doth denote the euen roundnesse wherein hee proceedeth to euery one as well towards the smal as the great the poore as the rich That he is the Common Father of all his people ordering all his affections in an equall partage like vnto the Geometricall point which beholdeth all his circumference in one the same proportion Answerable to the Sun which shineth equally vpon all Or as the heart which furnisheth all the other members with life heat Or like vnto the Palme-tree which distributeth his nourishment to his leaues and braunches euen as if it were by iust weight measure Before that Parliament he contented himselfe to expresse vnto the Papistes themselues rather the power of his Authority then the rigour of his Iustice Hee permitted to all the free communication of his fauour as of his Conntreyes ayre and the enioying of his presence as the sweet breath of his fertile kingdome The Booke and the Scepter which his Maiesty holdeth in his hands do represent Reason and Rigor which are the two Engines wherby all men are drawne to their dutie For if Reason profit not recourse must then be had to Power According vnto the example of our Lord Iesus Christ and of his Apostles For they presenting peace in all mildnesse thorough all places where they came shooke off in the spirit of Justice the dust frō their feet on them which resisted thē Saying for reason of the first That be was soft and gentle and for the second That he was vpright or iust In the first that he is good gracious in the second That he is terrible In the first That hee helpeth the desolate in hart bindeth vp their wounds In the second That he is Dominus percutiens a Lord that smiteth In like maner Our King Gestans leua decus wil neuer presse with his Scepter of authority which he beareth in his right till he may vse his pen no longer and that the left hand be wholly despised He applyeth not the Rasor to the Canker and Gangrena of Heresie so long as Reason and soft and lenitiue remedies may serue the turne Throughout antiquity The Scepter hath bin common to al Kings on the earth The Booke perticularly and for the exclusion of others appertaineth to our Mercuriall Heros to enstruct vs that of him properly ought the double

Emperour who haue beene so acceptable to the Gods as they haue chosen me for their Lieutenant on earth It is I that second them It is by my mouth that they pronoūce their determinations immoueable and the good or euil fortunes of men For beside the authorities and prerogatiues in common which his maiesty hath with other Kinges that they are rich in quantity hauing this quality as being happy in hauing this quality as being happy in hauing this contentment to say I will and it is doone I desire and the desire is accomplished That the very winke of the eye makes them to be vnderstood the least changing of their lookes procureth execution of their will and that they can wish nothing more in earth because he that is a King is All according to the aunswere of King Porus yet ouer and aboue these perticuler aduantages which GOD hath giuen him as making the Kings of Persia by the right of their eldest children this word KING doth shew vs his faith pure and cleane towards God by his Charitie fatherly loue vnto his Subiects and his prouidence in the affaires of his Crowne For in our French Language it consisteth of 3. Letters ROI and also in Latine REX as the primordials and Radicall Letters of the Haebrewes and of one Syllable which simbolizeth in some sort with the most holy and Sacred Ternarie or Trinity First for the Letter R. according to the considerations which concern Socrates in the Cratylis of Plato it signifieth vnto vs his continuall action and exercise of duty for the acquitting of his charge as the toong remoueth strongly without any stay in the pronouncing it O denoteth the roundnes which he equally vseth towards euery one which as it is round equal euen without any points or corners to carry it out abroad so it sheweth that Our King is perfectly round seeing that his words and actions do concord and that both to one other he goes in full rotundity plainnesse and sincerity speaking euermore with a round mouth As J doth also represent his lenity and mildnesse by a facile and very gracious prolation And according to the Traditions of the Cabalists the Letter RESH doth infer that hee is King by succession and instructeth vs that Hereditary kingdomes are much better instituted then those which bee elected where the combustions of suites and partialities do often times cause them to turne their backes on their enemies with extreame affliction and ruine of the people O is as the eie which he lendeth to al and ouer all in imitation whereof the Egiptians in their Hierogliphicks did represent royalty by an Eye placed vppon the top of a Scepter I wherof al the Hebrew Letters are composed and which by the same means constituteth the number of ten the perfection resting place and accomplishment of all other numbers doth signifie thereby that all the parts and members of his kingdome do depend intirely vpon him wherefore al ought to bee referred to his safety and preseruation Thus passing these mystical Interpretations and significations of these three Letters to that which might result frō their diuers Anagrams Metathesis and Renuersements according to the Tmurah and Siruphs of the Haebrewes Our King as Philo saieth in the life of Moyfes is a Soule-like Lawe and his Law is Our Iust-King they are so bound by the girdle of the Graces and ioyned together by Iustice Iustitiae cupidus recto non deuius vnquam Desire of Iustice neuer swerues from right For although Cato was woont to say that a King was a rauenous Beast that hee liued not but by his prey and on Venison or wilde food yet can not it so be said of Our King seeing hee contents himselfe with a small circumference not insulting vpon his Neighbors or Strangers Neuer did any man hear in him that ouerbold wish of the Emperor Maximilian by the report of Phillip de Commines to bee a God And that his Sonne might be King of France His desire and the chiefest degree of his Title is to be called King of Great Brittain which is the kingdom of the Church of God his part and portion which he hath chosen in earth the kingdome which succeedeth to the Kingdome of Iuda This is the Christian kingdom wherein euen to the very least or vulgar cannot else-where bee found a people more deuout and Religious Piety and Religion are there so zealously and so often exercised In breefe It is the Land of Promise which God reserued to himselfe in Christendome where he hath so long time kept the Booke open and the Reuelation of his Prophetick and Euangelicall Mysteries God himselfe Husbanded the Garden of that Country and tooke thee euen measures thereof hauing enguirt it with the great Ocean As concerning the forme of the Island according to the opinion and descriptiō of Caesar it is triangulare whereof one way is opposit and faceth France and containeth on that side about sixe score and fiue leagues or miles in length Another looketh towardes Spaine and that longitude is an hundered and sixty miles The third is opposed to the North drawing most part towardes Germanie and it is thought that this way it containeth well tvvo hundred good miles So that the whole Isle may haue some fiue hundred miles in circuite It hath a very serene and faire Hauen and the habitation there is much more temperate then in France and the colds are lesse sharp violent Gallia trieme frigidior by the iudgment of Petronius and in mine vnderstanding so it is at this instant In that Countrey are not to bee seene the intollerable heats of Egypt no more then the Ices of Sarmatia all is temperate all is cultiue and all thinges are fruitfull there in aboundance Non illic Aries verno ferit aëra cornu nec Gemini praecedunt cornua Tauri Sicca Lycaonius resupinant plaustra Bootes It hath a copious Sunne Corne Cloath Wools Waters Beastes Fish Foule and all kindes of wilde flesh in most great facility and felicity Shee hath euen in her selfe her India and her Peru not onely of Time and of Iron as in the time of Caesar but likewise of Golde and Siluer therefore she vseth not any money of Copper Brasse or Annelets of Iron added to euen poize but all fine Gold and Siluer And such is hir abounding in al kinds of riches and in all thinges necessary for man as in due right she is confirmed by the Maister of Treasures to be the first and principall of the fortunate Islands She hath made plaine and smooth the backe of Thetis by the number of her goodly great Shippes and Vesselles which doe serue her as bornes as limits as ramparts and as wals And she is called Great not for the extendure of her Landes Countryes and Prouinces not so much for infinit multitude of people for the great number of her Cities Towns Borroughs and villages as for the greatnesse of courage in her Inhabitants who neuer leaue
