in his Commentaries alleadgeth to the same purpose saying Fortissimi autem omnium Belgi And Strabo in the fourth booke of his Commentaries also sayth thus Omnium Gallorum Belgi sunt summi as a people that in those times as it is written could bring into the field three hundred thousand fighting men And thus much for the descriptions of the people of the countrey called Gallia Belgica with the cheefest townes siegnories and rivers thereof and now we will looke back again for the prosecuting and finishing of our former matter In this king Belgius the line and race of Galatheus the sonne of Hercules Lybicus failed and was determinate so that upon his death the people of Fraunce beeing of themselves wonderfully desirous to elect one of that linage so near as it was possible bestowed the government and commaund of that countrey upon the above written Iasius Ianigena the sonne of Iupiter Camboblascon And so by that meanes Iasius was invested and established in that kingdome as the fifteenth king and Patriark thereof And in this yeare the realm kingdome of Athens in Greece was first set up and begun as Berosus our cheefly followed author in these matters of antiquitie averreth who thus saith Apud Ianigenas à patre Iasius creatus est Coritus anno sequente simul ceperent duo reges videlice primus Rex Athentensium Cecrops priscus Iasius Ianigena apud Celtas And this was about fourescore yeares or thereabouts before the first building and erection of the cittie of Troy Iasius Ianigena the eldest son of Iupiter Camboblascon as is before declared beeing thus so gloriously possessed of two such regall and powerfull kingdomes and being in the cheefest spring and blooming daies of his age contracted and joined in mariage with a noble and rich ladie called Ipitis Cibeles for the celebration of which nuptials and espousals great feasts and ceremonies of joy and triumph were held and kept and as some write performed in the cittie of Viterbe then the capitall seat of all Tuscania And this was before the foundation of Troy threescore and seventeene yeares in the presence of Dardanus the first builder thereof and brother to the new maried king Iasius Ianigena Many writers doe affirme That in this mariage were greater triumphs pastimes sports magnificencie state and pomp than in any other in those times throughout all the world whatsoever and cheefely in respect of that noble assembly and meeting of so many mightie and great princes and more particularly for the comming of the famous empresse and goddesse as they tearme her the Aegyptian Isis the daughter of Cham the wife of Iupiter Iustus otherwise called Osyris and the mother of that all renowmed and ever memorable conquerour Hercules of Lybia king and emperor of all Fraunce Italie and Spaine And this Isis there first taught those peple the manner of making bread of floure meale and such like stuffe although before that Osyris her husband had instructed them in knowledge of agriculture tilling and sowing corne yet they were not untill now perfected in the use and right applying thereof especially for the making of bread which they learned and understood by the comming of this empresse Isis And this mariage and ceremonie of association and matrimonie was the first that in those times was celebrated and solemnized with any rites feastivals or new invented usances as Diodorus Siculus to the same purpose thus sayth these beeing his very words Has nuptias à dijs primum celebratas ferunt Cereremque in gratiam Iasij ei ex frumento panem attulisse Mercurium lyram Palladem decantatum monile peplum ac tibias c. This their goddesse Isis otherwise called by the names of Ceres Iuno Frugifera Legifera and others was by all probabilitie and by the opinion of all writers a woman of wonderfull long life and many yeares for at her now arrivall and comming to this mariage into Italie she was at the least foure hundred and fiftie yeares old as shee that was borne in the first yeare of the raigne of Semiramis queene of Babylon and lived in the whole at the least six hundred and sixteene yeares for shee was living after the first destruction and desolation of Troy by the space of fortie yeares or neare thereabouts as almost all writers have delivered in their opinions to the same purpose and effect Iohannes Annius an old writer sayth That shee was in Germanie in the time of Hercules Alemannus the eleventh king of that countrey by him called Almaigne and Cornelius Tacitus also seemeth to affirme the same by these words Pars Suevorum etiam Isidi sacrificat It is written also that she was in Fraunce in the time of Lugdus then king thereof as hath beene before declared and that shee had travelled almost all these parts of Europe instructing and teaching the poore ignorant people the use of many things then unknown unfound out And to approove the better that she was present at this mariage of Iasius Ianigena it is yet apparent in that countrey of Tuscan by many very auncient scrols lest still from time to time in that countrey from one posteritie to another as also certaine old statues and monuments of marble with inscriptions of characters infixed thereon found out in the times of Pope Alexander the sixt averre the same which as Iohannes Annius sayth were first found in the earth in the citie of Viterbe and that there were at that time upon further digging and search of more such like reliques found hidden far in the ground four severall images or pictures of triumph the one was of Iasius the other of his mother Electra the third of his faire sister Armonia which never maried but continued and died a vestall virgine and the fourth was of Cibeles the now new maried wife of Iasius There was also found another square kind of table made of marble on which were in Greeke letters these words following engraved which not long after were thus translated into Latine Coritina desponsatio cum Electra Atlai Kytij iamdudum pertransiverat maxima Isis Frumentaria atque Panifica concessit ad nuptias Iasij filij Coriti in habitaculum turrite Cibeles sponse Iasij in prelio Cybelario ad fontem Cybelarium paulo post sub vadimonia palatia paulo post à scelerato fratre Dardano Iasius male perijt in agro Iasinello in Theisijs c. And these be the very words used heretofore by authors of antiquitie By these therefore and by like semblable apparences it is cleared that this Isis their so reverently-adored goddesse was now present at the consummation of the espousals of Iasius Ianigena king of Italie and Fraunce with the ladie Ipitis Cibeles his wife And that this Isis had travelled and journeied through many and diverse countries it appeareth by many and severall pillars and stonie monuments erected in many countries of Europe in that behalfe as many authours doe produce Diodorus Siculus inferreth That in Aegypt

six before the erection of Troy five hundred thirtie and one and before the birth of Christ two thousand and sixteene yeares Marcus Varro And of this Iberus as Marcus Varro alleadgeth the countrey was generally called Iberia as it was afterwards Celtiberia of certaine people called Celtes inhabiting long after in Fraunce as many authentike hystorians doe affirme and of this king also the river Iberus tooke her name Solynus and was so called This floud as Solynus Albertus Magnus and Diodorus Siculus averre beginneth his first Spring and taketh his head under the hils called Montes Pyrenaei which lately before we remembred and from thence runs winding and crooked like the shape of a serpent or snake through the promontorie of Feraria and so tumbleth downe amaine into the sea called Pelagus Beleare And this king Iberus raigned untill the three and thirtieth yeare of the rule of Semiramis which is about seven and thirtie yeares or much thereabouts as Eusebius accounteth it The third king of Spaine according to the opinion of most hystorians was Iubalda of whose name the hill called Iubalda was so called as Berosus affirmeth although in Ptolomie it is written Iubeda Ptolomie and by the successions of times corruptibly Gybaltar by which name at this time the countrey doth acknowledge it This Iubalda began to enter into his kingdome in the foure and thirtieth year of the raign of Semiramis from the worlds inundation three hundred thirtie six from the birth of the holy Patriarke Abraham foure and fortie from the first inhabitation of Spain two hundred wanting seven years before the building of Troy foure hundred fourescore and foure yeares and before the birth of our Saviour Christ one thousand nine hundred fourescore and one yeares And in this kings raigne the ever-famoused Hercules of Lybia was borne which was before the birth of the Grecian Hercules of whom so many grave authors have written and beene deceived almost seven hundred yeares of the difference of which because it hath bred such an incurable skar of error among very learned and old writers I think it shall not be much impertinent in this place something to particularize Of the number therefore of those men which were called by the name of Hercules Varro Varro and many other authors alleadge to bee at the least three and fortie severall names but the most famous renowmed were only two of which the first and most worthie was called Egiptius Thebanus or Hercules Licicus the second Alcaeus Graecus the son of Alcmena and Amphitrio as Diodorus Siculus Herodotus and many others affirme who report also That there was a temple in Phoenicia built and dedicated unto the first Hercules many years before the comming of this Hercules Graecus the son of Amphitrio and that also long after both these two with the ancient Grecians were held and worshipped in great reverence and adoration but the one of them being Hercules Egiptius say they was adored as a god the other but as a mightie and famous conquerour Cicero in his booke entituled de natura Deorum setteth downe this Hercules also as a god as Macrobius also and many others have opinionated the same Diodorus Siculus in his first booke confidently alleadgeth That this Hercules Graecus had not to name Hercules which signifies heartie but that his proper name was Alceus and also Heraclius which interpreted signifies Iunonis gloria which opinion likewise Herodotus consenteth with when in his second booke of hystories hee affirmeth that this word Hercules is not a Greeke word but of the Aegyptian language and that the Grecians afterwards stole it from the right owner thereof and unworthily attributed it unto this Alceus the sonne of Amphitrio which thing also Eusebius maintaineth and sayth That those famous and gallant exploits wherewith the world was so long possessed and caried such universall admirations among all men were misplaced and bestowed on a straunger that came not neare the true merit and worthinesse of him whom it truly concerned thereby cleane exempting excepting this Alceus Amphitrios sonne from all interrest or right unto any these so high and wonder-worthy performances as only particular and belonging unto this noble Hercules Egiptius or Libicus the sonne of Osyris called Iupiter Iustus as Diodorus Siculus Berosus Moyses also certainly doe report Vnto him also the people of Lybia consecrated many triumphes ceremonious observances and generall feasts as one for his valour and vertues honored and worshipped amongst them as a mighty and powerful god so were they blinded from the true sight and understanding of knowledge in those times of darknesse error and superstition And these people were first called Phutei or Phaetontei as Iosephus and Iheronimus in his tenth chapter upon the booke of Genesis affirmeth Vnto this Hercules of Lybia were adjoyned also all these names according to the Aegyptian tongue Her Hercol Arno Musarno and Ar of which hereafter occasion will present it selfe further to expound and more largely to speake of but it is most unfallibly certaine that this Hercules Egiptius or Libicus was long before the times of the so much renowmed Hercules of Greece who indeed according to the writings of very many grave and learned authors deserved not the least part of so many glorious praises and titles of honour as the flattering and selfe-pleasing conceits of the Grecians have so amply and prodigally ascribed unto him for he is by many authors set downe no other but a very pyrate on the sea a robber and bloudie oppressor where he could find out any bootie or advauntage to shew his power wil and mightinesse much unlike the proceedings that victorious and vertuous conqueror Hercules of Lybia to approve which to be no detraction but memorious notes of forepassed learned writers Manethon that famous Priest and Hystorian of Aegypt thus sayth Constat hunc Herculem Graecum dolo non bello Laumedontem nil eiusmodi suspicantem occidisse primum ex maximis piratis extitisse quanquam virum divino admirabilirobore preditum c. Whereby it is very apparent by this authoritie and many others of like worth and antiquitie that this Hercules the Grecian was but some famous robber or pyrate living for the most part among the Argonauts men excelling in warlicke discipline and armed with armours of yron and other like furnitures for the wars as Eusebius sayth Hercules Alceus affuit domito jam orbe legibus regibus formato instituto formidoloso ferro invento wheras contrariwise Hercules Egiptius lived in times of ignorance in respect of those knowledges when the use of armour or yron was unfound out the furie of warre not then felt and in times of new-rising tumults not as then ripened or growne to any head or maturitie His armour was the skins of wild beasts and such like accoustrements was he habited with which also is attributed unto Hercules Alceus as having a Lions skin and a great club in his hands but
