  What a miserable thing it is , to see wicked counsellors get such a hand over theire King , that he is wholy ruled by them , and dares not doe or say any thing , but what they like ? nor favour a good man and his cause further then they admit ? as it was with Zedekiah , who durst not be knowne of the talke he had with Ieremie , but was forced to faigne a busines , and an answer to stop the mouths of his Princes and Councellors , so verie a child they made of him ; though it be saide , woe to thee o Land whose King is a child : when with a couragious & constant frowne , he might have dispersed them all , and have saved himselfe and the citie , by beeing perswaded by Ieremie . Al Princes are as much bound to observe his lawes and directions , as theire meanest subiects are to regard theirs , for he is the King of kings , and all his Rules and directions are perpetuall lawes ; so immutable and irrevocable that all designes and determinations that are contrary unto them , how faire a shew soever they make of wisdom and a probable good , they are but meere wickednes , and can not establish the Prince that puts them in practise , but rather tend to his undoing : for that is one infallible principle left us by Wisdom , A man can not be established by wickednes , and therefore the Lord saith , Woe to the rebellious children , that take counsell , but not of me , and cover with a covering but not of my spirit : which walke to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh , and trust in the shadow of Egypt as Asa also sought a league with Syria , and relyed on it , and not on the Lord , , and was therefore punished , wherefore Wisdom saith , It is an abhomination to Kings to commit wickednes : for the throne is established by justice : by carrying themselves justly towards God and their people , therefore state policies that stand not with pietie must needes overthrow it .

  A choice narrative of Count Gondamor's transactions during his embassy in England by that renowned antiquary, Sir Robert Cotton, knight and baronet ; exposed to publick light, for the benefit of the whole nation by a person of honour.

summary:
  This point of State , or rather of Faith , we see the Catholick Roman Religion hath taught every where , and almost made natural ; so that by a Key of Gold , by intelligence , or by way of confession , my Master is able to unlock the secrets of every Prince , and to withdraw their subjects allegiance , as if they knew themselves rather my Master his subjects in truth , then theirs , whom their birth hath taught to miscal Soveraign ; we see this in France , & in England especially , where at once they learn both to obey the Church of Rome , as their Mother , to acknowledg the catholick King as their Father , & to hate their own King as an Heretick and an Usurper ; so we see Religion , and the State are coupled together ; laugh and weep , flourish , and fade , and participate of eithers fortune growing upon one stock of Pollicy : I speak this the more boldly here in this presence , because I speak here before none but Natives , persons who are partakers both in themselves & issues , of these Triumphs of antient Rome , and therefore such as besides their oaths it concerns to be secret ; Neither need we restrain this freedome of speech from the Nuncio his presence , because besides that , he is a Spaniard by birth , he is a Jessuit by profession and order , devised by the providence of Gods Vicar , to accomplish this Monarchy the better , all of them being approriate thereunto ▪ and as publick Agents , and privy Counsellors to this end , whereas the wisdome of this state is to be beheld with admiration , that in temporal Wars , it imployes , or at least trusts none but Natives ; so in Castile , Portugal , or Aragon : so in Spirituals , it imployes none but the Jesuites , and so imployes them that they be generally reputed ▪ how remote soever they be from us , how much soever obliged to others , yet still to be ours , and to be of the Spanish Faction , though they be Polonians , English , French , and residing in these Countries and Courts ; the penitents therefore , and all with whom they deal and converse in their spiritual traffick , must needs be so too , & so our Catholick King must needs have an invisible Kingdome and an unknown number of subjects in all Dominions , who will shew themselves and their Faiths , by their works of disobedience , whensoever we shall have occasion to use that Jesuitical vertue of theirs ; this therefore being the principal end of all our Councils , according to those holy directions of our late pious King Phillip , the second , to his son now surviving , to advance the Catholick Roman Religion , and the Catholick Spanish Dominion together , we are now met by his Majesties Command , to take an account of you ( Signior Gondomor ) who have been Embassadour for England , to see what good you have effected there , towards the advancement of this work , and what further project shall be thought fit to be set on foot to this end , and this is briefly the occasion of our meeting . Bo●emia , now all labouring for life under our plots , apparently manifest this way ; therefore I bend my Engines in England , as your honours shall particularly hear ; Neither should I need to repeat a Catalogue of all the service I have there done , because this State hath been acquainted with many of them heretofore by the intercourse so wrought , that the State should be rather rob'd and weakned ( which is our aim ) then strengthened , as the English vainly hope ; Besides in a small time , they should work so far into the body of the State , by buying Offices , and the like , whether by Sea or Land , of Justice Civil or Ecclesiastical , in Church or State , all being for Mony exposed to sale , that with the help of the Jesuites , they would undermine them with meer wit , without gunpowder , and leave the King but a few Subjects , whose Faiths he might relie upon , whilst they were of a Faith adverse to his , for what Catholick body that is sound at the heart , can abide a Corrupt and Heretical head .

summary:
  The truth is my Lord ( quoth the Embassador ) that privately what they can , and publickly what they dare , both in England and Scotland all for the most part ( except such as are of our Faith ) oppose this match to the utmost by Prayers , Counsels , Speeches and wishes , but if one be found longer tongued then his Fellows , we have still means to charm their sausiness , to silence them , and expell them the Court , to disgrace them , and cross their Preferment with the Imputation of pragmatick Puritanism , for instance I will relate this one particular , a Doctor of theirs , and a Chaplain in Ordinary to the King , gave many reasons in a Letter against this Marriage , and propounded a way , how to supply the Kings wants otherways , which I understanding , so wrought under●●●nd , That the Doctor was committed , and hardly escaped the danger of his presumptuous Admonition , though the State knew his Intent honest , and his Reasons good , wherein we on the other side ( both here and with the Arch-Duke ) have Books penned , and Pictures printed directly against their King and State , for the which their Embassadors have sought satisfaction of us in vain , not being able to stay the Print , or so much as to touch the Hem of the Authors Garment : Thirdly it was great advantage to match with such , from whom they might break at pleasure , having the Catholick Cause for a Colour , and besides if need were , to be at liberty in all respects , since there was no Faith to be kept with Hereticks ; and if his Holiness may dispence with the Murder of such , and dispose of their Crowns , as what good Catholick doubts but he may ; much more he may , and will he in their Marriages , to prevent the Leprosy-Seed of Heresy , and to setle Catholick-Blood in the Chair of State : to the second Objection the Embassador himself answered , saying , that though the English generally loathed the Match , and would as he thought buy it off with half their Estates , hating the Nation of Spain , and their Religion ( as appears by an uproar and assault a day or two before his Departure from London by the Apprentices , being greedy to vent their own Spleen , in doing him or any of his a mischeif )

  Popery truly display'd in its bloody colours, or, A faithful narrative of the horrid and unexampled massacres, butcheries, and all manner of cruelties, that hell and malice could invent, committed by the popish Spanish party on the inhabitants of West-India together with the devastations of several kingdoms in America by fire and sword, for the space of forty and two years, from the time of its first discovery by them / composed first in Spanish by Bartholomew de las Casas, a bishop there, and an eyewitness of most of these barbarous cruelties ; afterward translated by him into Latin, then by other hands, into High-Dutch, Low-Dutch, French, and now taught to speak modern English.

summary:
  This Book mostly Historical , partly Typographical , was Published first by the Author in Spanish at Sevil , after that Translated into Latin by himself ; and in process of time into High Dutch , Low Dutch , French and now English ; which is the Sixth Language it hath been Taught to speak , that every one of what Nation soever might in this Narrative contemplate and see as in a mirror the dismal and pernitious fruits , that lacquey and attend unlimitted and close fisted Avarice , and thereby Learn to abhor and detest it , Cane pejus & angue : it being the predominant and cheifest motive to the commission of such inexpressible Outrages , as here in part are faintly , not fully represented . Which sin the Pagan Indians themselves did exprobrate in the Spaniards with all Detestation , Ignominy and Disgrace : for when they had taken some of them Prisoners ( which was rarely ) they bound them hand and foot , laid them on the ground , and then pouring melted Gold down their Throats , cried out and called to them aloud in derision , yield , throw up thy Gold O Christian ! And this also is as really true as the praecedent Narration ( which the very Tyrants and cruel Murderers cannot deny without the stigma of a lye ) that the Spaniards never received any injury from the Indians , but that they rather reverenced them as Persons descended from Heaven , until that they were compelled to take up Arms , provoked thereunto by repeated Injuries , violent Torments , and injust Butcheries .

summary:
  In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Sometimes one hath occasion to tell his opinion of things , and herein he is himself liable to the censure of thousands of different judgement and affections ; but as these things are unavoidable to those who appear in publick ; so they ought to be resolved to undergo any thing of that kind : the approbation of such persons as your Lordship , is that which writers should mind most of all , and use their utmost care to obtain .

  They not long after improved their Victories by the Addition of Lusitania ; but their farther progresse was intercepted by Theodorick the second , King of the Goths , by whom they were discomsited and shut up within the Recesses of Gallicia ; which they enjoyed untill their final Suppression and Subversion by L●u●igild King of the Goths , about the Year 858. and then this Province was linked to the Gothish Scepter . And since I am engaged in this Discourse of the Turkish Greatnesse , you may be advertised that if this Essay find any acceptance in the Publique Estimate , I shall represent in a Compendious ●●lume , the Original and Growth of the Turkish Empire , and from what a narrow Increment this Thracian Bramble hath shot out and improved it self to that Excrescencie , that it hath not only by an unhappy Diffusion , over-spread the Lesser Asia , but a considerable part of Europe it self .

  Some Spaniards are so ignorant that they believe not there is any other Country than Spain , other City than Madrid , or King than their own . They report the Giantesses to have lived in the time of King Mammelin , and on that account sometimes call them Mammelins , after the name of that Gothick or Moorish King , who once Reigned in Spain .
