his slipper and a Carpenter not dealing but with his chippes will bee ready foolishlie to throw them they know not where nor at whome And for my parte I am of that iudgement that it is so farre from beeing vnmeet for a Gentleman of the Innes of the Court to deale thus in these holy studies that I could wish of the Lorde that the Noble men of the Court it selfe and all others whose wits are either by nature or education more pregnant would fine file them vpon such endeuours as these are So should they fitt themselues not only to passe frō the Princes Court into the Lordes owne Court there to raigne for euermore but should able themselues ten thousand times better to all honorable seruices of their Prince Countrie in a wiser and more politique gouernment of the comon wealth then Machiauel that cursed helhound can furnish thē of For besides many notable draughts of policie here and there scattered throughout the whole Scripture especially the storie that one booke of the Prouerbes as it were the Lords owne Politickes is able to yeelde more sound precepts of sure safe gouernement then I will not saye Machiauell but then all the Machiauels in the worlde when they shall haue met vpon their bench and shall haue beaten out their braines about that consultation And if it be here asked what are you or who are you whose iudgment in this behalfe the reader should so greatly regard Peraduenture the reader may be such a one as if I were a mā of some marke with my word I should carie him away although I brought no reason if of no note at all hee would not beleeue mee although I should come vpon him with neuer so good reason Therefore concealing my name in a word I answere first out of Moses for whom when Ioshua was ielous least the gift of Prophesie of the declaratiō of the will of God being common Moses his Maister should be lesse estemed he answered would to God that all the Lords people were Prophets why lest the Lorde should bestow his Spirit vpon them Example hereof we haue in Ezechias raigne one of the godliest and most renowned Kings that euer raigned whose gouernement was also accōpanied with as much glorie and good successe both at home and abroad during the whole time of his raigne as any king whatsoeuer Dauid only excepted Nay I needed not in euery respect to haue excepted Dauid who met with more crosse handes of the Lord in his Sonnes and subiects then euer did Ezechias And of him to his cōmendation that shall neuer die it is written that his Courtiers gathered and suted diuers of Solomons Prouerbs in that Prophetical order wherein nowe they are left vnto vs by the holy Ghost And vnles Courtiers will iudge thēselues vnworthy of the kingdome of heauen there is no cause why they should esteme it to base or to vnworthie a thing for them to be occupied in seeing Dauid Solomō and Ezechias the most famous Kinges that euer liued haue no one thing so precious to garnishe and set foorth their Royall Crowne with as that their handes beeing taught of God to write some thing to his praise edification of his people the same as a diamond in their princelie Diademes remaineth to all posteritie Saul also albeit a wicked man yet beeing purposed of God to the Kingdome had this as a principall meanes to hide from the eyes of the people the basenesse of his birth and homelines of his education that hee was for some small time graced of the Lord with a gift of Pro phetie wherewith beeing ennobled he was so prepared for the kingdome But I am ashamed of the iniquitie of these times that should driue to the proofe of that whiche prophane and heathnish mē in the dim darke sight of their naturall reason haue both seene and professed that these cōmon wealthes were most happie where either Philosophers were Kinges or Kinges Philosophers And if Scepters were wel guided when men stoode at the sterne of common wealthes that stirred them by direction of that shadowe and carcase of Philosophie that was to be had in their bookes O howe happilie should they bee menaged if their course were set at the prescript and cōmand of the word of God which is the ladie mistres of all true wisedome or philosophie But I see there would be no end if I should set my self to answere whatsoeuer the crooked wits of wrangling companions might obiect And therfore assured of the fruitfulnesse of the booke in it selfe I commend the profite and succes therof to the blessing of God who only can direct the heartes and handes of men to lay houlde and make vse of it aswell for th'increase of their knowledge as for the prouoking of them to like endeuours 1.

Of the purpose of God God being thus in his nature and persons most glorious hath further glorified himselfe by two notes of excellencie which he taketh to him King dome Honour Kingdome is that whereby he dispenseth all thinges according to his own freewil The order wherof aunswerable to the relation betwene the persons thēselues is frō the Father in the Sonne by the holy Ghost To whō is attributed the immediat dispensing of them The kingdome of God is in his purpose and workes Purpose is his decree before all times of euery thing Chapter 3. Of Creation THe workes of God are the execution of his purpose And are Creation Gouernment Creation is his making all things of nothing Which of euery Creature was in excellencie of perfection Chapter 4.
