The  chicfc  gouernment  of  the  Britons,  and  ordering  of  the- 
Casfars  com-  vvarres,  was  then  (by  common  aduice)  committed  to  CafsibeUn, 
raentarics,  .5.  whofe  Signiorie  was  leparated  from  the  Cities  towards  the  Sea- 

coaft  ,  by  t  he  Riuci  called  Thames  ,  about  80.  miles  off  from 
the  Sea.  This  Cafsibelan  in  times  part,  had  made  continuall  war 
vpon  tiie  Cities  adjoining  ,  but  the  Britons  being  mooued  with 
the  Romans  inuafion,  hadrefolued  in  that  neceflityto  make  him 
their  Soucrcigne  and  General  of  the  wars.  Cafar  hailing  know¬ 
ledge  of  their  intent,  marched  with  his  Army  to  the  Thames,  in- 
The  Riuer  of  to  t^e  Signiory  of  Cafstbilian.  This  Riucr  can  be  paffed  but  on- 
Thamcsto bee  ty  onc P^ace on foote ,  and  that  very  hardly.  When hee came' 
paffed  on  foot  thither,  hefawe  a  great  power  of  his  enemies  in  battaile  array 
m  Cifars  on  the  other  fide  of  the  Riuer.  Now  was  the  banke  flicked  full 

of  flakes,  ftiarpned  at  the  fore  end-  and  likewife  other  ftakcs'of 
the  fame  making)  were  driuen  into  the  Channell,  and  hidd'en 
with  the  water.  Cafar  hauing  vnderflanding  thereof,  by  his 
Prifoncrs  and  Run-awayes  :  lent  in  his  Horfeman  before  ,  and 
commanded  his  footmen  to  follow  immediatly  after  them.  But 
the  Romane  Souldiers  went  with  fuch  fpeed  and  force  ,  ha¬ 
uing  no  more  then  their  heads  onely  abouc  the  water  :  that 
the  enemy  beeing  not  able  to  withftand  the  violence  of  the 
foot-men  ,  and  the  men  of  Armes ,  forfooke  the  banke  and 
sookc  them  to  flight.  CafsibeUn  defpairing  of  his  good  fucceffe,

by  fighting  in  plaine  battaile ,  fent;  away  all  his  greater  powers,  Politic  of 

and  keeping  ftill  about  foure thoufand  Waggoners,  watched  Callibelan 
which  way  the  Romans  went ,  and  drew  fomewhat  afide  out  of  vpon  his  ill 
the  way  ,  hiding  himlelfe  in  cumberfome  and  woody  places.  fucccA'c» 

And  wherefoeuer  he  knew  the  Romanes  fhould  march,  he  draue 
both  Cattell  and  People  thence  into  the  Woods.  When  the 
Romanes  Horfcmcn  ranged  any  thing  freely  abroad  into  the 
fields  for  forrage,  orto  harrie  the  Country :  he  fent  his  Waggo- 
ners,by  allwayesand  pathesoutofthe  Woods, vpon  their  men 
of  Armes ,  and  encountred 
through  the  feare  whereof, 
at  their  pleafurc. 

So  the  matter  was  brought  to  this  paffe ,  that  Cafar  would 
not  fuft'er  his  Horfe-men  toftray  any  farrenefle  from  his  maine 
batcell  of  Foot-men,  and  aduentured  no  further  to  annoy  his  e- 
nemies,  in  wafting  their  fields,  and  burning  their  houfes,  then 
he  could  compafle  by  the  traucll  of  his  Foot-men,  as  they  were 
able  to  iourney. 

In  the  mean  v

yong  Gentleman  called  Mandubrace ,vpon  confidence  of  C&fars  London.  "* 
help,  comming  vnto  him  into  the  maine  land  of  Ga/lia,no'N  cal¬ 
led  France,  had  thereby  cfcapcd  death,  which  hee  fhould  haue 
fuffered  at  Cafsib  elans  hand  ,  as  his  father  Imannenee  had  done, 
who  had  reigned  in  that  Citie)fcnt  Ambafladors  to  Cajkri  pro- 
rnifing  to  yeeld  vnto  him,  and  to  doe  what  he  fhould  command 
them.  Inttantly  defiring  him ,  to  prote&  Mandnbrace  from  the  Mandubraee 

furious  tyranny  of  Cafsibelan ,  and  to  fend  him  into  the  Citie,  ^am^ecW 
with  authority  to  take  the  goucrnmentthcrof  vpon  him.  Cafar  t0  Caefar,and 
accepted  the  offer,  and  appointed  them  to  giuc  vnto  him  40,  he  defended 
Hoftages,  and  withall  to  finde  him  graine  for  his  army ,  and  fo  them. 

fent  he  Mandubrace  vnto  them. 

When  others  faw  that  Cafar  had  not  only  defended  the  Tru

from  the  pillage  of  his  owne  fouldiers :  then  did  the  Cenimagues ,

iled  out  at  another  part,  and  left  the  towne  vnto  him  ;  a  great* 
number  of  cattell  he  found  there,  and  many  of  the  'Brittains  hec

was  then  (faith  mine  Author)  a  common  pra&ice  in  the  Citie, 
that  a  hundred  or  more  in  a  company,  young  and  old,  would 
make  nightly  inuafios  vpon  houfes  of  the  wealthy, to  the  intent 
to  robbe  them,  and  if  they  found  any  man  flirting  in  the  Citie 
within  the  night,  that  were  not  of  their  crue  ,  they  would  pre- 
fently  murder  him:  infomuch,  that  when  night  was  come,  no 
man  durft  aduenture  to  walke  in  the  (fleets.  When  this  had 
Night  walkers  continued  long,  it  fortuned,  that  as  a  crueoi  yong  and  weal-

in  the  one  hand,  and  a  pot  of  coalcs  in  the  other  ,  which  hee 
affaied  to  kindle  with  the  brand,  hee  flew  vpon  him,  and  knot 
off  his  right  hand,  and  then  with  a  loud  voice  cryed  Theeues. 
At  the  hearing  whereof,  the  theeues  tooke  their  flight,  all  la¬

GoldjPcarlcsorlemmes:  which  cufioraedidintcnd 
Our  riches  ought  to  Waite  vpon  our  friend. 

In  life  and  dearh.  O  bleffed  ages,  when 
Men  parted  fortunes,  and  not  fortunes  men ! 

But  now  peruerted  are  our  prefent  ends, 

That(for  wealth)  fell  the  fame  of  lining  friends. 

The  dead  we  Hue  by,  now'  can  fcant  afford 
The  rites  and  facrifice  of  one  good  word : 

Of  which,  left  I  be  one,  though  I  can  bring 
(For  worthy  Obfequie )  no  precious  thing ; 

My  gratitude  prefents  vnto  her  Hearfe, 

My  tearcs  for  Balme,  for  Offering, my  fad  Verfe  : 
Giue  leaue  then,  griefe,  let  my  drown’d  Mule  dedar 
What  fhe  that’s  dead  was,  vnto  them  that  are. 

The  Rule  and  Index  to  finde  all  the  good, 

That  euer  heauen  dealt  vpon  woman-hood. 

For,  if  we  but  anatomize  her  life. 

We  finde  both  a  good  woman,  and  good  wife ; 

Firft,  fhe  lou’d  God,  not  like  the  Pharifey, 

Jri  oftentation  and  hypocrific; 

But  euen  with  all  her  heart,  and  all  her  Soule : 

She  fecretly  did  raging  finne  controule. 

For  fhe  (for  goodnes  lake)  was  innocent, 

And  not  for  glory  or  feare  of  punifhmcnt. 

Next,  to  her  Neighbour  did  her  louc  extend. 

Ready  to  helpe  at  need,  and  to  befriend 
The poore,  and  tbofethat  neuer could  repay; 

But  with  their  prayers  at  the  latter  day : 

The  remnant  of  her  loue,  fhe  did  beftowe 
Vpon  her  Husband,  not  in  outward  fhowe^ 

Or  elfc  in  feign’d  adulterate  flattery ; 

But  in  found  truth,  and  deepe  fincerity^ 

Thus  did  fheliue  diuidcd  in  her  loue, 

From  this  vn  worthy  world :  and  Nature  then. 

Which  had  but  lent  her,  tocke  her  backe  agen, 
Whcrelet  vs  Hue  in  peace,  and  let  vs  try; 

To  Hue  like  her,  that  wc  like  her  may  dye.

To  you  that  liue  polfeft,  great  troubles  do  befall,

An  honeft  life  doth  bring,  a  ioyfull  death  at  laft. 

And  life  againe  begins,  when  death  is  ouer-paft.

-  '  Before  this  time  (fayth  he)  the  Inhabitants  of  the  Townes  < 

about  London,  as  Ifeldone.Hoxton, S hare f  ditch  and  others, had  to 
indofed  the  common  fields  with  hedges,  and  ditches,  that  nei¬ 
ther  the  young  men  of  the  City  might  fhoot,  nor  the  ancient 
petfons  walke  for  their  pleafurcs  in  thofe  fields  5  but  that  either 
their  bowes  and  arrowes  were  taken  away  or  broken,  or  the 
honeft  perfons  arefted  or  indighted,  faying  :  That  no  Londo¬ 
ner  ou°ht  to  goe  out  ofthe  City,  but  in  the  High-wayes,_  Jj  ■ 
This  faying  fo  gricued  the  Londoners  ,  that  fuddainly  this 
yeere,  a  great  number  of  the  City  afl'cmblcd  thcmfeluesina 
morning ,  and  a  Turner  in  a  fooles  coate  came  eryingthorow 
the  City*,  fhouels  and  fpades,  fhouels  and  fpades.  So  many  of 
the  people  followed, that  it  was  a  wonder  to  behold;  and(with- 
Hedg«s  pulled  jn3  {hort  fpace)all  the  hedges  about  the  City  were  caft  downe, 
downe  and  an(j  tjic  Pitches  filled  vp  ,  and  euery  thing  made  plaint;  fuch 
ditches  filled  was  the  diligence  of  thofe  worke-men, 

Vi’'  The  Kings  Councell  hearing  of  this  affembly,  came  to  the 

Cray  Fryers  y  and  fent  for  the  Maior  and  Councell  of  the  Citie, 
to  know  the  caufe ;  who  declared  to  them  the  iniurie  and  an¬ 
noying  downe  to  the  Citizens,  and  to  their  Liberties ,  -  which 
though  they  would  not  fccke  diforderly  to  redreffc,  yet  the 
Comminalty  and  young  pevions  could  not  be  (laied  thus  to  re¬ 
medy  the  lame.  When  the  Kings  Councell  had  heard,  their  an- 
fwerc,  they  dilTimuled  the  matter,  and  commanded  the  Maior 
to  fee  that  no  other  thing  were  attempted  ,  but  that  they 
{liquid  forth-with  call  home  the  younger  fort;  whohauing 
fpecdiiy  atchieued  their  defive  ,  returned  home  before  the 
Kings  Councell,  and  theMaior  departed  without  more  harmc;
