in the feare of God vttred all yet aliue to confirme it wherefore settle your faith immoueably and now you haue heard his life iudge of his doctrine accordingly Carnead His life and doctrine may both be to us an â—nsâ—mple for since the raigne of Queen Gueniuer was there neuer seene worse Iimport Yet for all he is such a vaine Basilisco and Captaine Crack-stone in all his actions conuersation swarmeth in vile-Canniball words there is some good matter in his booke against thee Respond We will trie thaâ— matter immediately for my minde euer giuing â—ee that wee should haue you and such like Humorists of your Faction runne from one matter to another from the matter to the manner and from the manner to the forme and from the forme to the cause and from the cause to the effect I prouided to match you at all weapons And here next his life I haue drawâ—n an Abridgement or Inuentorie of all the materiall Tractates and Contents of hys Booke Import Then thou hast done well for it is it that I all this while lookt for I pray thee let me read it my selfe A Summarie or breife Analysis of such matters as are handled in the Doctors Booke INprimis one Epistle of a sheete and more of paper to his gentle liberall frends Master Barnabe Barnes Master Iohn Thorius Master Anthonie Chuse and â—â—erie fauourable Reader Carnead O ho those whom hee calls the three orient wits Mine eyes are partly accessarie vnto it It is to thanke them for their curteous Letters and commendaterie Sonnets writ to him from a farre as namely out of the hall into the kitchin at Wolses where altogether at one time they lodged and boorded VVith a great manie maidenly excuses of t is more of your gentlenes than my deseruing and I cannot without blushing repeate and without shame remember Then he comes vpon thee with I 'le I 'le I 'le Respond What should I say I will and commaund like a Prince hee might as well write against Poules for hauing three IIes in it Carnead Hee calls thee the greene Popiniay saies thou art thine owne idoll Respond Let him either shew how or wherein or I will not beleeue him my negatiue in any ground in England is as good as his affirmatiue Carnead And so proceeds with complement and a little more complement and a crust of quippes and a little more complement after that then he falls in exhorting those his three Patrons to goe forward in maturitie as they haue begun in pregnancie whos 's Parthenophils and Parthenopes embellished and Shores Wife eternized shall euer lastingly testifie what they are Respond And so haue I testifide for them what they are which will last time enough Carnead Hee bids Barnabe of the Barnes bee the gallant Poet like Spencer or the valiant Souldiour like Baskeruile and euer remember his French Seruice vnder such a Generall Respond What his Soldiourship is I cannot iudge but if you haue euer a chaine for him to runne awaye with as hee did with a Noble-mans Stewards chayne at his Lords enstalling at VVindsore or if you would haue anie rymes to the tune of â—link-a-pisse hee is for you In one place of his Parthenophill and Parthenope wishing no other thing of Heauen but that hee might bee transformed to the Wine his Mistres drinks and so passe thorough her Bentiu Therein hee was verie ill aduisde for so the next time his Mistres made water he was in danger to be â—ast out of her fauour Respond Of late he hath set soorth another Booke which hee entitles no lesse than A deuine Centurie of Sonets and prefixeth for his Posie Altera Musavenit quid ni sit alter Appollo As much to say as why may not my Muse bee as great an Appollo or God of Poetrie as the proudest of them but it comes as farre short as Paris Garden Cut of the heigth of a Cammell or a Cocke-boate of a Carricke such another deuice it is as the godly Ballet of Iohn Carelesse or the Song of Greene sleeues moralized Carnead For his Caualiership since thou art not instructed in it let mee tell thee it is lewder by nine score times than his Poetry since his doughtie seruice in France fiue yeares agoe I not forgetting him where hauing followd the Campe for a weeke or two and seeing there was no care had of keeping the Queenes Peace but a man might haue his braines knockt out and no Iustice or Cunstable neere hand to send foorth precepts and make hue and crie after the murdrers without farther tarrying or consultation to the Generall he went and told him he did not like of this quarrelling kinde of life and common occupation of murdring wherein without anie Iurie or triall or giuing them so much leaue as to saye their praiers men were run thorough and had their throats cut both against Gods lawes her Maiesties lawes the lawes of all Nations wherefore hee desir'd license to depart for hee stood euerie howre in â—eare and dread of his person and it was alwaies his praier From suddain death good Lord deliuer vs. Vpon this motion there were diuers warlike Knights and principall Captaines who rather than they would bee bereau'd of his pleasant companie offred to picke out a strong guard amongst them for the safe engarisoning and better shielding him from perrill Two stept foorth and presented themselues as muskettiers before him a third and fourth as targatiers behinde him a fifth and sixt vowd to trie it out at the push of the pike before the malicious foe should inuade him But home hee would nothing could stay him to finish Parthenophil and Parthenope and write in praise of Gabâ—iell Haruey Consil Hee was wise hee lou'd no blowes but what said the Doctor to his other two copesmates Carnead VVhy thaus Be thou Iohn the many tungd linguist like Androwes or the curious Intelligencer like Bodley neuer forget thy Nether landish Traine vnder him that taught the Prince of Nauarre now the valorous King of France Respond Of this Iohn Thorius more sparingly I wil speake because hee hath made his peace with mee there bee in him sundrie good parts of the Tungs and otherwise though thirtie parts comming behinde limping after Doctor Androwes who if it bee no offence so to compare him is tanquam Paulus in Cathedrâ— powerfull preaching like Paul out of his chaire and his Church another Pantheon or Templum 〈◊〉 deorum the absolutest Oracle of all sound Deuinitie heere amongst vs hee mixing the two seuerall properties of an Orator and a Poet both in one which is not onely to perswade but to win admiration Thorius being of that modestie and honestie I ascribe to him cannot but bee irksomly ashamed to bee resembled so hyperborically and no lesse agreeu'd than Master Bodley a Gentleman in our Common-wealth of singular desertiue reckoning industrie beeing at this present her Maiesties Agent in the Low countries ought he to bee at
