The Inauguration of Charles the French King at Rhemes 1380. THis Charles the 6.

At the Inauguration of King Henry the third French King three notable things obserued FIrst when he should haue bene anointed with the holy oile there was none found in the ceremonious Horne which for many yeeres had bene preserued by miracle as a relike sent from heauen Secondly when in the royall seate the Crowne was set vpon his head by certaine Bishops as is accustomed he cried out twise Oh it hurts me Thirdly when he kneeled before the Altar during Masse the Crowne fell from his head all which seemed ominous to the beholders and so it prooued both to himselfe

of them promising and protesting to obserue fidelitie friendship and societie The Kings of Armenia and Hiberia to confirme peace betweene them consented the thombes of their right handes should be fast tied together which done then either thombe was stricken with a knife and the blood comming out they licked thereof in signe of mutuall loue But the Romanes did euer command that no peace should bee concluded without consent of the Senate and people For their custome was that whensoeuer peace was to be made the Praetor the Consul or Senate did deliuer vnto the Foecial a certaine herbe called Verbena or els grasse pulled vp by the roote and therewith some boughes of Verbena together with a flint stone taken out of the Temple of Iupiter Feretrius which done the Foecial caused a sowe to be brought into the market place and holding a scepter in his hand like vnto Iupiter and couering his head with a cloth crowned himselfe with a crowne of Verbena Which rites being ended he obtested and beseeched Iupiter and Mars and th' other gods that if any of the parties did faile to performe the capitulations that then hee should be striken and slaine like vnto the sow After which obtestation her body was cut with the flint then they cast vpon it water and fire and so the sacrifice was fully solemnized according to the verse of Virgil Antiqui coesa firmabant foedera porca Menippus in his answere to Quintus Lincius the Consul affirmed there were three kinds of treaties The first was where the victorious in warre did giue Lawes vnto him that was victored for he who was most potent in Armes may euer dispose of all things at his discretion The second was when the aduersaries being of equall force the peace was concluded aequo foedere that is with equall conditions and all things restored as they had bene taken and that he whose possession was by warre disturbed should be restored Of this kinde were treaties betweene Octauius Caesar Antonius and Pompeius and the conditions being signed and sealed were sent vnto Rome to rest in the custodie of the Virgins Vestall The third kinde of treatie is betweene those that neuer were enemies and notwithstanding do ioyne in league and amitie In that case if any of them were victorious or victored yet did they neither giue nor take Law th' one from th' other The Tartarians concluding any peace or treatie did sanctifie the same in this sort First they caused a Partizan a sword or other weapon of warre to be brought and thereupon they took an oath which done they dranke of the water wherein the Partizan sword or other weapon was washed pronouncing these words Quicunque pacta fraternitatem violarit aut contraeam violandam insurrexerit vel aliquid intentauerit àframeis incidendus occidendusque pereat ac tanquam aqua defluat ac euanescat The Lacedemonians confirmed their treaty with great sacraments protesting to obserue them iustly simply without fraud or deceit and renued the same yerely As therefore treaties of this kinde doe binde either party equally so are they both equally and lawfully conioyned in the obligation Truce is a peace for a short time to the end the enemie may take breath and be aduised Varro calleth truce an abstinence of Armes and as it were the holydayes of warre For albeit the fight ceaseth yet the warre continueth The terme of truce is neither more nor lesse but as the enemies shall agree Lucius Pontius Generall of the Samnits desired a truce for sixe houres onely The second truce betweene the Romanes and the Carthaginians was to continue for fifty yeeres The Vients also obteined a truce of the Romanes for an hundreth yeeres The first truce whereof we reade was taken in the reigne of Romulus when then Sabins made warre vpon the Romanes vnder Titus Tacius their king In which expedition certaine Ladies of Rome were imployed and conducted by Hersilia whose perswasion preuailed with those kings The nature of truce is such as during the continuance thereof the enemies without offending may meete and speake together It is also lawfull for euery souldier during that terme to goe and returne safe at his pleasure But here is to be noted that euery Treatie as well of truce as peace ought be faithfull and sincere and therefore I much disallow Cleomenes king of Lacedaemon who hauing concluded a truce for an hundred and thirty daies did neuerthelesse in the night spoile the enemies countrey alleaging the truce was made for dayes but not for nights which crafty construction ought be misliked Howsoeuer that were sure it is that no matter of State is of more difficultie then the assurance of Treaties and leagues betweene Princes and common weales either friends or enemies newters or subiects For some require onely mutual protestation or oath others demand ostages some would be possessed of townes and strong places and others would haue the enemy vtterly disarmed Yet experience hath proued that league to be best which is ratified by alliance and consanguinitie But this subiect ought be discoursed by doctors and expert polititians CHAP. 29. Of Licences and Pasports IN certaine causes and for some reasons Captaines Generall and other Commanders in the warre were wont to grant License vnto their souldiers to be absent from the armie or other places of seruice with allowance of time conuenient for their going and returne Yet true it is that such Licenses ought not to be giuen without earnest occasion and for good respects whereunto we will adde that meet it is that not onely souldiers but also horses ought to be restrained and seldome suffered to passe out of the Armie Neither ought any horse of seruice be employed in hunting hauking or other needlesse exercise for so was it decreed in the discipline of Augustus The Emperours Archadius and Honorius commanded all Captaines and Commanders to be warie in giuing License to souldiers chiefly when the enemie is at hand or when hee maketh incursion for at such times to giue License was accompted capital or if any souldier did absent himselfe from his Ensigne without leaue that crime was also punished by death Licenses are therefore to be rarely granted and for necessary considerations Yet no License may be denied when vrgent occasion so requireth which error Appius Claudius the Decemuir incurred when by his letters he required that Luctus Virginius might not be suffered to come vnto Rome fearing he would accuse him for the rauishing his daughter but by good hap Virginius departed from the Armie one day before the letter arriued there Howsoeuer that were yet true it is that no souldier of anie Armie well gouerned ought demand Pasport or License to depart at any vnseasonable time neither should any Captain condescend to license him which moued Hannibal after the taking of Saguntum in Spaine to proclaim that euery souldier occasioned to goe vnto his countrey or friends ought before he went to desire license Likewise by an Edict of Francis the
