wee not home into our owne soyle of England? What Chronicle shall euer
remaine, or what English Hystorie shall euer bee extant, that shall
not euerlastinglie report, the deserued fame of that right woorthie
and verie noble indeede, Sir _William Walwoorth_, Knight, once Lord
Maior of London, the remembraunce whereof (to his perpetuall prayse,
and endlesse confusion of others, who not onely abstaine the putting in
vre of such his memorable vertue, but which is woorse, doe endeuour by
cruell force to tender violence vnto their Sacred Prince and Countrey)
shall yet flourish for euer. Ill doe you example vnto your selfe, or
thinke on the woorthinesse of that good man, who in the time of King
_Richard_ the seconde, when with a most suddaine and strange kinde
of Rebellion the King was troubled, the Realme pestered, and the
strongest of the Kinges subiectes greatlie feared: euen at that time
when the proude fawtour and Captaine of the rebellious and rascallie
multitude, durst hatefullie and most vndutifullie to bearde the King
in his owne presence, and each man shunned to impugne the contrarie.
This valiant, this good, this right noble and woorthie Citizen,
standing by, when the wicked and presumptuous varlet, with so little
reuerence approached the King, and remembring the seruices of manie
worthie men, that by an honourable aduenture and hazarde of their liues
had to their eternall memorie, before time freed their Countrey with
libertie, grieuing that with so high an abuse his soueraigne Lorde
beeing yet as it were a childe, shoulde there in his hearing, bee so
farre amated, couragiouslie stept vnto the Rebell, and taking him by
the gorge, proude varlet (quoth hee) that darest thus contemptouslie
demeane thy selfe vnto thy King and Soueraigne, foule death betide
thee, and shame quicklie consume thee: Whie, aunswered the villaine
in greate disdaine, is it thou that greeuest at that I haue sayde?
Greeue, replyed the stoute couragious Citizen, yea, euen I, I it is
that greeue at thee, and happilie shoulde thinke my selfe accurst,
if thou shouldest escape from mee vnreuenged, wherewith drawing more
closelie vnto him, hee pulled him from his horse by maine force, and
stabbed him to the heart with his dagger. The destruction of whom,
bredde such confusion vnto all the residue of his headstrong armie, and
sight whereof kindeled so great a furie in the residue of the Kings
companie, (who for that present vpon speciall considerations, was there
attended on but meanelie) that the whole rebellious route were by such
meanes euer after discomfited vtterlie: wherewith before that instaunt
the whole Realme had lyke to haue beene turned topsie turuie. Hee and
such as hee laboured not by ambitious pride to arrogate vnto themselues
a lawlesse extremitie, but studyed of meere loue and entire zeale, how
and which way they might performe best seruice to their Prince and
Conntrey. O more then ordinarie affection, and feruencie of high and
statelie woorthinesse, in the regarde whereof, life was not sweete vnto
these men, whose liuing might not redounde to become (for their dearest
soyle) to bee honoured and famous. What then may I say my G. of that
by thee, and thy copartners taken in hande, whether will you be driuen,
what shall become of you, how doe ye behaue your selues, who may
receiue you, in whose inward conceites (not the pietie and regard of
anie of theese) no nor so much as one sparke of their loialtie, coulde
so deepelie bee impressed, as whereby to withdrawe you from these
vnnaturall broiles? What haue you found in your deare prince? what in
your louing countrie? what in this citie? what to anie one of al your
selues in particularitie, that might in such hatefull maner incite you,
& by occasion whereof you should thrust your selues into so great an
enormitie? Beleeue me, & it shal verilie be auowed, the successe hereof
will returne vnto you none other in the ende then the verie reward
of infamie. I haue knowne thee, beeing far lesse in yeares then at
this instant, to haue bene able to rule thy selfe, and with plausible
moderation to bee indued in all things, couldest thou then beeing a
childe performe this in thy selfe, and beeing nowe a man art not able
to endure it? There be I know about thee, that will perswade that all
that thou doest herein is vertue, that herein thou hast great wisdom,
much fortitude, and notable moderation, that the action is haughtie,
the occasion libertie, and the end glorie. But how greatlie they doe
erre in so saying, let this saying of good _Camillus_ stand for you
and vs indifferentlie, whose notable speach sprung vp from those his
inuiolable vertues, spared not this, to affirme in presence of all the
Senate vnto the people. Let others (quoth hee) deeme it a thinge euill
and reprochfull at anie time to bee founde faultie, in not yeelding
ready succors and aid to their country: _Camillus_ for his part is
& shal be of that resolute determination, that it is & ought to be
reputed for euermore a thing detestable and vild, and of all other the
most hatefull and replenished with all execrable miserie. How thinketh
then your gentle mind, of the action by this time. Is it (suppose you)
anie vertue that thereunto preferreth you? _Camillus_ iudged that it
was not reprochfull, but villanous and detestable, so much as to bee
founde failing in ought to his countrie, and may it then bee thought a
thinge honest to become a persecutor of your countrie?

It is not _Fortitude_, but _Temeritie_, that conducteth your
enterprises, for _Fortitude_ aspireth to far more noble and statelier
purposes. The action and determination, you preferre therein is not
(as fondlie by you is conceaued) _honour_, but _haughtines_, not
_libertie_, but _loosenes_, not _vertue_, but _viciousnes_: why then
continue you in this sorte togethers, vpon so wicked and diuelish a
purpose? Why returnest not thou rather to thy self my G. & hauing
long before striued to emulate the praise of others by an vnstained
gentilitie, wipe nowe quickly off this foule blemish from thee, and
couering the filthinesse thereof by a most incomparable fidelitie,
become once againe like vnto thy self. At the least wise, if the loue
of thy coūtrie, fidelitie towards thy prince, the example of Vertue
her selfe and so many her famous and renowned followers (then which
no one thinge on earth ought more to allure a man) may not herewith
conuince thee, let yet the execrable and immortall hate, that all
good men beare to the practise of such kind of crueltie, the feare
of euer harbouring shame, and erected ignomie, and neuer after hope
(thy credite once consumed) againe to recouer thee, let these I say
constrain thee. Whilst there is yet but one craze or slender flaw in
the touchstone of thy reputation, peece it vp, & new flourish again
by a greater excellēcie, the square of thy workmanship. A fewe daies
are to bee passed in which there is yet time, fame wounded in life
may once bee restored, if death doe preuente thee, thy shame and
destruction is for euer shrowded. The next newes I hear from thee, may
make thee fortunate, or me for thee alwaies vnhappie. My longing would
bee satisfied of this from which I dehort thee. If onelie herein thou
condiscende vnto mee, my selfe am thine, and to none so much as thy
selfe absolutely, I loue thee, I require thee, I pray thee, and pray
for thee, that thou maist as I wish, and wouldest as I bid, bee for,
and to mee. Farewell if thou doest well.
An Example of a disswasorie Epistle,
_wherin one is disswaded from fruit-
les vanities, to more learned & pro-
fitable studies_.
[Sidenote: _Narratiō._]
I receiued on Saturday last a letter from your Vncle, wherein amongst
sundrie other matters I was aduertised, that leauing your former
learned studies, whereunto with greate cost and charge of your
parents, you had bene trained, you haue giuen your selfe wholie to
certaine thinges, the regarde whereof albeit in their moderate vses, I
cannot discommende, yet in respecte of your former intendmentes, I can
tearme them none other then meere follies, and verie fruitles vanities.
It is reported with vs for certaine, that you are become an excellent
good dauncer, that you are growne prettilie skilled on instrumentes,
whereon you play reasonablie, that you spende the time limitted for
more profite in the Vniuersitie, in making of songes and exquisite
fine ditties, that you are verie fitlie seated for wantonnesse, and
worthilie behaued in all kind of curious conueyances.
[Sidenote: _concession._]
[Sidenote: _Parison._]
[Sidenote: _Synonymia._]
I woulde for mine owne parte nothing at all mislike what herein you
haue in some sorte frequented, weighing indeede that as they may bee
in sorte entertained, those qualities doe not ill beseeme a Gentleman,
but are in their kinde verie fit and commendable to anie youthfull
reckoning: yet studying them as you doe by them selues, inuring your
selfe whollie to their delighte, abandoning what else might best honour
and beautifie their woorthinesse, in respect of the sole propertie
of them selues and their owne peculiar goodnesse, I say that in such
regarde they are vanities, trifles, thinges of no momente, and in each
sounde opinion to bee helde of farre lesse value and iudgement.
[Sidenote: _Prosonomasia._]
The intendment of your going to the Vniuersitie was for _learning_
sake, to become an excellent scholler, not an exquisite dauncer, a
Maister of Arte not an artlesse maister, a good Rhetorician, not a
conceited Musitian: your Vncles care, was by vilefying his wealth vnto
you, (the weight whereof by imminent perilles wee see daylie perish
before our eies) to purchase for you the endowment of a farre more
greater and assured treasure, and that is by knowledge to teach you
to discerne trifles, to procure in you a minde to despise trifles,
that leauing small riches to inherit, you your selfe might gather
possessions whereby to enrich you.
[Sidenote: _Synonymia._]
[Sidenote: _Parison._]
[Sidenote: _Asyndeton._]
You then are farre misconceiued, to relinquish the hoped reckoning of
that you came for, to applie your selfe to that which fewe doe accompt
of, and the wisest woulde neuer sweate for, you shall therefore vppon
better aduise endeuour if you doe well, to returne your conceite to
a far more better purpose. You shall call to minde that all studies
whatsoeuer, by how much the more excellent ech one appeareth before
the other, by so much the more assured are they in their kinde, and
aboue all the residue, with far greater estimate to bee preferred:
if so? then must you graunt me that no one thing vpon earth (then
_learning_, then precious and high esteemed _skill_, then aboue all
earthly things whatsoeuer, heauenlie _science_) is of so great and
surpassing excellence. To lay out vnto you herein, howe much glorious
is her shining hue aboue all others, howe sugred her plantes, howe
daintie her fruits, howe delicate her pleasures, howe incomparable her
high and statelie reach, how she participateth the skies, the element,
the venerable search and knowledge of high and sacred mysteries: I
need not, you know it, you haue felt & tasted of it. But to shewe howe
much you misprise the force of her vertue, howe ill conceiued, and far
wandring, you are from the due esteeme of her glorie, to make loue to
her handmaides, to professe liking to her seruantes, to become sole
entertainer of her vassals: hereon resteth the iniurie, this is it I
complaine of vnto you.
[Sidenote: _congeries._]
[Sidenote: _Parenthesis._]
[Sidenote: _Erotema._]
[Sidenote: _Allegoria._]
And if either the sum and type of honestie placed in the weight of
the action, the necessitie, meetnes, and worthines, the vtility and
benefits seuen hundred fold compensing the trauel, may (as earthly
things haue often power to mooue one, aboue things of far higher
estimation) induce you to her most dearest and precious fruition,
search then the fauor of these your louing mistresses, and (seemlie I
grant you may find them) but neuer shall they proue either so wealthy
or beautifull. What then should let you to returne to this glorious
Ladie? Will you because you are an earthlie substance, followe the
common reason of euerie earthlie creature? _humum sapere & alta
spernere_? or saying that the appetites of the one are much pleasanter
for the time, or far lesse tedious then the other, welde your opinion
by a peeuish conceite of ease, to become a creditor to wantonnes?
[Sidenote: _Meiosis._]
[Sidenote: _Allegoria._]
These imaginations as they are meerelie bad, so are they ten times
woorse in the pursuite, then they are sweete in the foremost thought.
Peeuish were it, simplie for you to stande vppon these vanities,
thinges wherein children haue delight, and young weaklinges doe roue at
cunninglie: you must suppose and harpe vpon the end that must succeede
vnto your trauaile, and finding the reache thereof pursue it with
feruencie: Such actions as these doe onelie beseeme men, and heerein
alone shall you shewe your selfe such as you may desire to bee, and
your friends doe heartilie wish you to prooue. Alexander restlesse in
the day tyme, gaped for worldles, but in the night season was rocked a
sleepe by the _Muses_, the pleasure hereof appeased his day labours,
and the content of this gaue rest to his trauels.
[Sidenote: _Peroratiō._]
Too much impertinent were it for me to hale you on with arguments,
who onelie go about to perswade you with warrantise: Neither thinke I
in the ende you will declare your selfe otherwise, then euer I haue
expected of you. Much more could I infer, that might greatlie induce
you to that whereunto your owne willingnesse must in the ende, of
necessitie conduce you. Onely, if in the weight hereof my perswasions
may something preuaile: I shall not forget in any woorthie part
thereof, at all times to commend you. In which reposing my selfe for
the present, I ende: this of, &c.

sons disswaded from entring into an action in appa-
rance verie dangerous._

[Sidenote: _Aporia._]
[Sidenote: _Auxesis._]
I haue (good brother) receiued your letters, dated the eight day of
this instant, which were with as great diligence as celeritie, conueied
to my handes, and by the fidelitie of the bearer haue vnderstoode to
the vttermost what you willed, and both of that and your letter haue
at large considered. It seemeth therin vnto mee, that whether through
ignorance of your owne good, or inconsiderate rashnesse of youth, or
voluntarie intrusion of your selfe into your owne harmes, I knowe not,
but the matter and action mentioned and inforced by the whole course
of your letter, is altogither to be misliked, and for the extremitie
thereof to bee by all reason vtterly condemned, as whereunto you
ought not to condescende, much lesse to bee seene in publique to bee
a fauourer of, or, which is more, to appeare to bee, the onelie man
through whose follie and immoderate rashnesse, the same is solie to be
accomplished.
[Sidenote: _Ecphonesis._]
[Sidenote: _Auxesis._]
O good God! what blindnes is it that leadeth you? what sencelesse furie
that bewitcheth you? What matter of euill that pursueth you? By the
intollerable force whereof, without anie fore-sight at all, either of
the goodnesse or ilnesse of the action, the lawlesse prosecution, the
matter of your owne reputation, the daunger of lawe wherein you are
intruded, the difficultie whereby it must be attained, the vnhonest
sollicitation of your friends, to so great a hazard, the discommoditie
that thereon is attendant, and perill euerie way that in the execution
cannot be auoyded: you will notwithstanding all this forget your selfe
so much, as in the accomplishment of a purpose so farre different from
the nature (I will not say of a Gentleman) but of an honest man, go
about to put in proofe what in the ende must of necessitie returne to
your owne confusion.
[Sidenote: _Procatalepsis._]

[Sidenote: _Orismus._]
[Sidenote: _Erotema._]
[Sidenote: _Auxesis._]
[Sidenote: _Etiologia._]
But you will say it is loue, and extreame lyking that compelleth you
to so forcible an action, as without the obtaining whereof you are no
bodie, you cannot liue. Loue say you? Alas, what loue tearme you this,
that is laden with so manie disordered motions, call you this loue?
Nay rather call it madnesse, for loue is measured by no extremitie,
but in the honest and vertuous encrease thereof, where not by a
harebraine furie, but by a discreete and moderate ascention men by
degrees doe climbe vnto that, the sweete and pleasant force whereof
neuer participateth anie occasion of such vnreasonable badnesse. Why
brother, doe you loue her whome you haue sued for, and because by
desert you cannot attaine her, will you vndertake thereupon to bereaue
her by force? Howe vnhonest I pray you is the purpose of so great a
wrong? Howe vnfit to bee put forwarde in the meaner sort of men? How
intollerable in a Gentleman? For if in the account of things vnhonest,
any action whatsoeuer may appeare to be vile, what then this I pray you
may bee deemed more dishonest, more bad, or more vile?
[Sidenote: _Auxesis._]
And if it be punished extreamly by the lawe, the taking away of a mans
goods against his will, what may he deserue that bereaueth the person
of anie one, being also a Gentlewoman, such as to whome all humanitie
forbiddeth to proffer wrong, and to the honourable entertainment of
whome, is appropriate onely the nobilitie of a Gentleman, nay, in what
sort may such a one bee censured in the reputation of all honest men,
that in sort so violent, goeth about to rauish her, not onlie offering
iniurie therein to her person, but also to her fame, reputation and
offspring.

Thinke you that the intendment heereof can returne credite to your
lyuing? Thinke you that by deliuerie of such fruites you may bee
reputed a Gentleman? No beleeue mee, it cannot bee, but according
to the vnwoorthinesse thereof, it rather shall giue occasion to all
that shall heare or vnderstande of it, to accuse, blame, mislike, and
vtterlie to condemne you. But what if no manner of suppose at all of
dishonestie were left therein, whereby to discourage and withdrawe you
from the action, imagining that the purpose thereof were helde meete
and honourable, and that to euerie one that could winne his choyce by
anie force he might, it were lawfull without discredite or anie censure
of law by what meanes soeuer, to compasse the same, do you thinke it
a matter sleight and easie for you to performe it? No, no sir, you
reckon too wide, you goe beyond the Moone, you are too much deceyued.
Know you not the Gentlewoman is worthilie descended, that she hath
parents, brethren, vncles, and friendes to keepe her, to rescue her, to
defend her? Why sir, is there no more to say, but you will haue her?
You must haue her? and by maine force you will take her? You deale
with no children I can tell you, nor weakelings as you account of,
but men wise, valiaunt, well reputed, and of sound gouernment: who by
so much the more iust and right, the occasion is of their defence, by
so much the sooner will they, and are able to preuaile against you. I
recke not that you haue courage sufficient, that you are hardie, bolde,
and aduenturous (the vse whereof being imployed to good and laudable
purposes, were I confesse much more effectuall) but herein how euer
the case standeth, I see nothing so likelie as an impossibilitie, in
somuch as if you be delighted to become infamous, and in the memorie of
a shamelesse life to hazard your selfe to a shamefull death, then may
you enter into it: once this I knowe, that her can you neuer finde so
slenderlie accompanied, that with small force you can carie her, but
within a moment alwayes, there will not bee wanting a number that shall
bicker for her, from whose insight, you are altogither vnable, if her
selfe consented thereunto, to conuey her.
[Sidenote: _Concessiō._]
[Sidenote: _Congeries._]
[Sidenote: _Epanodis._]
[Sidenote: _Erotema._]
But graunting vnto your wilfull imagination, as much in all things as
you can desire, suppose you might winne her, conuey her, keepe her,
and that the daunger of lawe limited at all no hazarde thereunto, (the
contrarie whereof you well knowe, being guerdoned with no woorse then
losse of life) doe but yet againe returne to your selfe, and call to
minde your birth, your familie, your profession, your maner of liuing:
your birth by your parents who were worshipfull, your stocke by the
reputation yet helde of the same: your profession, which is Armes: your
liuing, a Gentleman. Is it then consonant or agreeing to all or anie of
these, to commit any outrage, and that such an outrage, as to any other
were not so proper, as to a villaine, a wretch, a rascall, such a one
as neither by nature, education, or custome, knoweth to do otherwise?
What would you exercise I pray you on her, if you had her? Once you
confesse she doth not loue you, then no question, would she ten times
more hate you: Your answere I knowe would bee, either by entreatie to
perswade her, or by force to subdue her.
[Sidenote: _Dialysis._]
[Sidenote: _Sententia._]
[Sidenote: _Confutatiō._]
The conclusion is friuolous, if being now her supposed wel-willer, you
can by no meanes allure her, imagine you then by prayers to conuince
her, after you haue once shewed your selfe so extreame vnto her? And
if force be it you pretend, it is repugnant to gentlenes, yet (be
it you neglect what therein to be considered) assure your selfe her
malice neuerthelesse towards you will neuer be quenched. For that of
our selues we cannot freelie accept of, we neuer by compulsion can be
procured to like of. With you now, the case is quite contrarie, for so
imminent euerie way are the perils thereof vnto you, as if her friendes
should abstaine it, yet the lawes will punish it, and if no lawes were
at all, yet God would reuenge it.
If then you will hearken or vnderstand what is right, you must bee
disswaded from these intendments, wherin if my selfe should haue become
so graceles, as to haue set in foote with you, iustly we might haue
both confessed to haue beene drowned in all vnhappines togithers.
[Sidenote: _Epilogus._]
And nowe good brother, vse I pray you that meanes herein, that with
greatest commendation maie beseeme you, weigh with your selfe,
that such distemperate motions are not to bee followed, conceyue
that _Vertue_, whose seruaunt you were in your first education,
forbiddeth you to bee ledde by such sensuall appetites, thinke that
honour of Armes which you haue professed, extendeth not it selfe to
the frayle and weake subduing of a Womans condition, who by reason
of her sexe rather chalengeth at your handes a defence, then anie
man-like enforcement: besides, much vnwoorthie should it bee vnto your
reputation by violence to dishonour her, whose estimate and account
by reason of your liking, you oughte to preferre with all honour.
In fine, frame your selfe to doe that vncompelled, which by force
you shall bee constrained to wish once to haue perfourmed, so shall
you euer doe that beeseemeth you, and giue me cause, as my deare and
louing brother euermore to accompte of you. Our former loue and liking
willeth mee euermore to greete you, your sister and mine commendeth her
heartilie vnto you. Fare yee well, B. this thirteenth of Nouember, &c.
_Of Epistles Conciliatorie.
Chap. 13_
=After these Epistles |dehorting| and |disswading|, followeth nowe the
nexte title |Conciliatorie|, whose vse being preferred in acquiring
vnto our selues the acquaintance, friendship or familiaritie of men
worthie, haue often their directions as well from those of honourable
or worshipfull name or calling, to such as are their inferiours, as
otherwise betweene equals, or those that bee accompted familiars: but
seldome or neuer is frequented to such as are our betters, for then
it looseth the name of |Conciliatorie|, and because of the humilitie
thereof séemeth to be |Petitorie|. Touching the first degree of these
Epistles, it is likelie, that hee who is much our better, will either
of his honour, woorshippe, or gentlenesse, in plainest tearmes alwaies
offer himselfe to his inferiours, whome in such sorte hee desireth
to bee knowne vnto, or otherwise willinglie woulde repute of. For
the others, touching equals or familiars, order therein requireth,
that pithily and plainly wee set downe the cause moouing vs to
take knoweledge of him wee write vnto, and thereupon to mooue his
acquaintance.=
=This, albeit without some assentation, it hardlie falleth with some
in their writing to bee caried, yet shall our learner by all possible
means indeuour to keepe such |Decorum| herein, that hee gloze not too
palpably, least by such means he do incurre a notable suspition of
flatterie.=
=If in our selues we do conceiue or find some one or mo things, that
are vnto such a one pleasing, or whereof wee may coniecture the regarde
to returne vnto him, commodious, or to confirme towards vs a more
speciall liking, that shall we modestlie tender, and deuise without
arrogancy in some conuenient sorte to be signified. These are the
onely precepts in this kind of writing, to be considered, the effectes
whereof are in this sort following by their examples deliuered.=
An Epistle Conciliatorie, written
_from one of good accompt to his
inferiour_.
After my verie heartie commendations vnto you. This bearer and my
seruaunt whome I greatlie credite, hath signified vnto mee manie
matters tending to your great commendation, the reporte whereof, I
haue often sithence hearde confirmed by others. And for asmuch as
touching mine owne condition, I haue alwaies beene a fauourer of artes,
and entirelie accounted of the singularitie of anie one according
to his worthinesse, I haue so much the more greatlie desired your
acquaintance, as one whome willinglie I would doe good vnto. Assuring
you, that if at some conuenient time you will take paines to see mee,
I will not onelie (as occasion serueth) bee well content to imploy
you my selfe, but also in place of further accompt doe the best I
may to recommende you. Meane while I woulde gladlie bee infourmed by
the returne of this Messenger, at what time I may expect to see you,
according to which I will appoint horses, and send some to accompanie
you. And so for this present doe bid you hartilie farewell. From my
house of N. this twentieth of April, &c.
_An example Conciliatorie, from one e-
quall to another._
The vniuersall reporte of your excellencie, each where declared, hath
mooued mee good M. N. not onelie to admire you for the same, but among
a greate manie others, that regarde and especiallie doe accompte
of you, hath induced mee also hereby to praie your acquaintance. I
confesse sir, sithence I first heard of you, I grewe euen then verie
desirous to see and to know you, but being this other daie in companie
with sir T. P. I vnderstood howe much for your singular vertue both of
the good Knight and Ladie, you were hartilie commended and entirelie
fauoured.
