TO THE RIGHT
Honorable, Chriſtopher Clethrowe,
Lord Maior of this Renowned
Metropolis, London.

Right Honourable,

IT is one of Eraſmus his undeniable
Apothegms, that there is no Citie
can bee ſo ſtrongly immur’d or De
fenc’d but may bee either by Engins
defaced, by Enemies inuaded, or by
Treaſon ſurprized; but the Counſells and Decrees
of a wife Magiſtrate, are in-expugnable. Time, and
your Merit, have call’d you to this Office and Honor:
As all eyes are upon you, ſo all hearts are towards
you; never was any more freely voyc’t in his Election,
and therfore none more hopefull in expectation: your
Abilitie, what you can doe, is knowne; your purpoſe,
what you intend, you have amply delivered; onely
the Performance remaines: In which, there is no que
ſtion, but that you will accommodate all your future
Proceedings to theſe three heads: Pro Rege, pro
Lege, pro Grege; for as you are a Magiſtrate, ſo
you are a Iudge: A calling, both of Truſt, and Trou

ble: Of Truſt; becauſe all ſuch as ſit in Iudica
ture, are Perſons ordained by GOD, to examine
Cauſes diſcreetely; Heare both Parties Conſiderate
ly, and Cenſure all matters unpartially: For Iuſtice
is the Badge of Vertue, the ſtaffe of Peace, and the
maintainance of Honor. Of Trouble; becauſe in
no part of your Time; during your regency, neither
in publicke, or private, forraine, or domeſtick things,
whether you meditate alone, or conuerſe with others,
you ſhall find the leaſt vacancie, which remembers me
of that which Dion witneſſeth of one Similis, who
living long in great Place and Authoritie under the
Emperour Adrian, after much intreaty, got leave to
retire himſelfe into the Countrey, where after ſeaven
contented yeeres expiring, hee cauſed this Epitaph to
be Inſculpt upon his tombe: Similis hic jacet, cujus
ætas multorum ſuit annorum. Septem tamen
Duntaxat, Annos vixit.
Lanctantius further tea
cheth us, that it is moſt requiſite, in all ſuch as have
charge in Common Weale, under their Prince and
Governour, ſo to know the bownds of their Calling,
and underſtand the full effects of their dutie, that by
executing Iuſtice, they may be feared, and by ſherr
ing Mercy, bee loved: I conclude all in this ſhort
ſentence, Non, quid, Ipſe velis, ſed quod lex &
Religio Cogat, Cogita,
Ever ſubmitting my ſelfe
to your better Iudgement, and remaining, to your
Lordſhip moſt obſequious.

SINUS SALUTIS.

I Shall not neede to borrow my In
duction from the Antiquitie of this
Famous Metropolis, nor to enter in
to a large diſcourſe, of the noble
Magiſtracy and government there
of; being Arguments already gran
ted, and therefore unneceſſary to be
diſputed: and yet I hold it not al
together Impertinent to remember
ſome few things of remarke, which have happened in the
Prætorſhips of the Right Honourable, the Lord Maiors
of this Renowned Citie, who have beene Free of the Right
Worſhipfull Company of the Iron-mongers
.
In the yeere 1409. Richard Marloe, of the ſame
Fraternitie, bearing the Sword, there was a Show preſen
ted by the Pariſh Clerkes of London, at a place called Skin
ners Well
, and now Clerken Well, which was of matter
from the Creation of the World; and laſted for the ſpace
of Eight Intyre dayes: Edward the Fourth (then
King) being preſent with his Queene, and the greateſt
part of his Nobilitie, which Richard Marloe, was

after Inagurated Into the ſame Honor, Anno 1417. In the
yeere 1566. Sir Christopher Draper, being Lord
Maior, King Iames, of late and moſt Sacred memo
ry, was borne the Sixth day of Iune, Anno 1569. In Sir
Alexander Avenon
s Maioralty, was the ſuppreſsion
of the Rebells in the North, Anno 1581. Sir Francis
Harvey
being Mayor, was the French Mounſiers com
ming over into England, and his Royall entertainement by
Queene Elizabeth, Anno 1607. Sir Thomas Cambel
being Inveſted into the ſame Honor: All the like Showes
and Triumphs belonging unto the ſolemnitie of this day,
which for ſome yeeres, had beene omitted and neglected,
were by a ſpeciall commandement from his Majeſtie, King
Iames
, againe retained, and have beene till this preſent day
continued; whom ſince hath ſucceeded in the ſame Honor,
Sir Iames Cambel, his Sonne, a worthy Senator of this
Citie, yet living. (The laſt of this worthy and Worſhipfull
Company, who hath ſate in that ſeate of Iuſtice) now this
day ſucceeded by the Right Honourable, Christopher
Clethrow

: but I leave all cicumſtances, and come to
the Showes, now in preſent Agitation.
The firſt Showe by Water:
IS an Artificiall Moddell, partly faſhioned like a Rock,
and beautified with ſundry varieties, and rarities, in
all which Art (in Imitating) ſtriveth to exceed Na
ture: The Decorements that adorne the Structure, I
omit, and deſcend to the Perſons that furniſh it, which
are the Three Cæleſtiall Goddeſſes, Iuno, Pallas, Venus: In
Iuno, is figured Power and State; In Pallas or Minerua,
Arms and Arts; In Venus, Beautie and Love: The firſt

Sonne Cupid, in whom is Emblem’d Love; by whom
ſome have thought, the Vniverſe to have beene Created,
becauſe of this Beautie, Glory, and Flouriſhing forme
thereof, as alſo, that Love (though pictured young) yet
in Age exceeds all things: But Venus, becauſe borne of
the Seas, I hold moſt proper to ſpeake upon the Waters:
Theſe Three Goddeſſes are ſent from Iupiter, with ſeverall
Preſents, to honour this dayes Triumphs, and him to
whom they are devoted; Iuno brings Power, Pallas Wiſe
dome, Venus Love; whoſe Speech is as followeth:
Venus the Speaker.
THe Three Cæleſtiall goddeſſes this day
Deſcend (Grave Prætor) to prepare your way
To your new Oath, and Honor: Iove, whoſe ſtation
Is ſtil above, hath ſent to this Ovation
And glorious Triumph, Vs: Iuno the great
And Potent Queene; who to your Iurall ſeat,
Brings State & Power: Pallas, who from Ioves brain
Derives her ſelfe, and from the higheſt ſtraine
Of all the other gods, claimes her deſcent,
Her Divine Wiſedome, doth this day preſent.
But I, Emergent Venus, Loves faire Queene,
Borne of the Seas; and therefore beſt beſeene
To ſpeake upon the Waters, bring a gift,
Priz’d equally with theirs; that which ſhall lift
You up on voyces, and from the low frame
Of ſordid Earth, give you (above) a name:
From

LONDONS Sinus Salutis.
From iuſt affections, and pure thoughts, Love ſprings,
And theſe are Impt with no Icarian wings,
But Plumes Immortall, ſuch as Angels beare,
To fixe your Name in an eternall ſpheare.
Which to attaine; Take Iuno for your guide,
Maintaine her Peacocks riches, not her pride;
Who to prove all Earths glory is but vaine,
Lookes but upon her feete, and flaggs her traine.
Obſerue next Pallas Owles, and from them take
This notion; you muſt watch even as they wake:
For all ſuch as the management of state
Shall undergoe, riſe earlie, and bed late,
So Wiſedome is begot; from Wiſedome Love,
(Sweete Child of ſuch a Parent) may’t then prove:
That as this day you doe attract the eyes,
And expectation of the great, and wiſe,
So in the happy progreſſe of your yeere,

So oft; that looke upon it in the night,
When all the reſt’s dull, that alone ſhines bright:

Of greater lustere made, to guide the leſſe:

Now riſing, art to ſhine a compleate yeere.

the Speech.
HEE that is call’d to bee a Majeſtrate,
A Guide, a Ruler, or a Candidate,
Muſt of ſo great a burden know the weight;
But firſt the ſtepps that mount him to that height:
Shall I direct you then, what ſayle to beare?
(Like a good Pilot) and what courſe to ſteare:
(Your pardon, Great Sir) daring to deſcry
A paſſage, which you better know then I.
There is a double Fortitude, both Crown’d
With merited Palme; one Gunn’d, the other Gown’d:
The Souldier claymes the firſt, as his by due,
The next, the Civill Sword, now borne by you:
By which, as great a glory you ſhall win
In Peace, as hee in Warre, by curbing ſinne,
And cheriſhing vertue; In the ſecond place,

Sinceritie may chalenge the third claſſe,
Next Patience, which by ſuffering, doth ſurpaſſe
All other Vertues: Placability
Study of Concord, and Fidelity;
Laſt, holy Zeale, and that doth crowne the reſt:
All theſe being harbour’d in your honour’d breſt,
Shall (maugre ſhelues and rocks) your paſſage cleare,
And bring you to the Port, to which you steare:
You are the Cities Chiefe, the Prime, the Sole,
In expectation: like the stedfast Pole:
Proove constant in your Courſe be still the ſame,
So let your Sword (tutch’d with Truth’s Adamant)(aime.
In your yeeres compaſſe, that to all mens view
(Skilfull in stearage) it may still goe true:
So, thoſe that were before you, and rul’d well,
Equall you ſhall, although not Antecell.

The Night being come, he cannot well be miſt;
For without him, his Orbe cannot ſubſiſt:
Neither can mine: Now muſt my Starre diſplay
It’s Luminous Rays, being borrowed thence this day,
To waite upon your Triumphs, and ſhall ſtill

Conduct you to your Port of Happineſſe.
