A COMPLEï'E Collection of the \Vorks of
Tholnas Churchyard, reprinted in exact COll-
formity to the original editions, has been long felt to
be a great desideratum. The republications issued by
Mr. J. P. Collier, valuable in themselves, have only
applied to selected pieces, and the very limited number
of copies printed have left the original demand, even
as respects those, in a great measure unsatisfied. To
remedy this generally admitted want, the Council of the
Spenser Society propose, if the feeling of the members
appear to coincide with theirs, to reproduce, according as
they can be conveniently issued with due regard to the
completion of other works now in progress, the various
writings of Thomas Churchyard, and have now the
pleasure of submitting, as a preliminary specimen, Thc
ll/'orthizes of Ilcs, which has always been considered
as one of the nost interesting and valuable of his poetical
productions, and is now reprinted as nearly as possible
in fac-simile form from the beautiful copy of the original
edition in Chetham's Library, Manchester.

and the humours of men are diuers : (drawing the mynd to
fondrie difpofitions) fo common occafion that commands
the iudgement, bath let me a worke, and the warme good
will & affe&ion, borne in breaft, towards the worthie Coun-
trey of Wales, bath haled me often forward, to take this la-
bour in hand, which many bcfore haue learnedly handled.
But yet to fhewe a difference in writing, and a playnneffe in
fpeech (becaufe playne people affe&s no flourifling phrafe) I
haue now in as anaple a maner (without borrowed termes)
as I could, declared my opinion of that fweete Soyle and
good Subie&s thereof, euen at that ver)" inftant, when Vales
was almoft forgotten, or fcarce remembred with any great
lawdation, when it hath merited to be written of: for fon-
drie famous caufes mort meete to be honored, and neceffary
to be touched in. Firft, the world will confeffe (or els it flaall
do wrong) that fome of our greateft Kings (that haue con-
quered much) were borne & bred in that Countrey: which
Kings in their times, to the glory of England, haue wrought
wonders, & brought great benefites to our xveale publickc.
Among the fame Princes, I pray you giue me leaue to place
our good Queene Elizabeth, and pard6 me withall to com-
A mit

To lhe
mit you to the Chronicles, for the feeking out of her Aun-
ceftors noble aCtions, and fuffer me to fhewe a little of the
goodneffe, gathered by vs, from her ?,,aiefties well doing,
and poffeffed a long feafon from her wincely and iu dea-
lhags. n a fo noble & notorious, that neither can efcape
immortall fame, nor flaall hot paffe my pen vnrefited.
No»v wcigh in vhat plight was our ffate when e came
firff to the Crowne, and fee how foone Religion was refor-
med, (a matter of great moment) peace planteà, and warres
vtterly extinguied, as the fequell yet falleth out.
Then behold how e fuccoured the affiied in Frauuce,
(let the going to Ncwhauen beare witneffe) and chargeably
without breaking of League mainteyned her friends and a-
mazed ber enemies.
Then looke into the feruice and preferuation of Scotland
(at the fiege of Leeth)and fee how finely the French were al
ipped away (they being a great power) and fent home in
fuch fort, that neuer rince they had mynd to returne thether
againe, in that faffiion and forme that they fayled towards
Scot/aud at the firff.
Thcn confidcr how bace our money was, & in what
tyme (with little loffe to our Countrey) the bad coyne was
converted to good filuer : and fo is like to continue to the
end of the world.
Then in the aduancing of Gods word and good people,
regard how Rochell was relieued, and Rone and other places
fofid caufe to pray for her life, who fought to purchace their
pcace and fee them in fafetie.
Then th]nke on the care e tooke for Flaunders, during
the fir troubles, and how that Countrey had bene vtterly
dero)'ed, if ber Highnes helpi::g hand had not propped vp
that tottering State.
Then Chriianly c6ceiue how many multitudes of ran-
gers e hath giuen gracious countenance vnto, and hath
freelly licenfed them to liue here in peace and re.
Then paire in an equall ballance the daungerous eate of
Scotlaud once againe, when the Kings owne Subie&s kept
the
IO

the Catile of Edcnbïo»gh againft their owne naturall Lord
and Maifter: which prefumptuous part of Subie&s, her High-
neffe could not abide to behold: whereupon fhe lent a fuffi-
cient power to ayde the Kings Maieftie : which power vali-
antly womm the CaRie, and freely deliuered the faine to the
right owner thereof, with all the treafure and prifoners
therein.
Then regard how honourably fhe hath dealt with diuers
Princes that came to fee her, or needed her mag,aificet fup-
portation and countenance.
Thon looke throughly into the mightineffe and managing
of ail matters gone about and put in exercife princely, and
yet peaceably rince the day of her Highneffe Coronation,
and you fhalbe forced to confeffe that fhe furmounts a great
number of her Predeceffors : and fhe is hot at this day no
whit inferiour to the greateft Monarke of the world.
Is hot fuch a peereles Queene then, a comfort to Wales,
a glorie to England, and a great reioyfing to ail her good
neighbours ? _And doth not fhe daily deferue to haue bookes
dedicated in the higheft dcgree of honor to ber Highneffe ?
res vndoubteclly, or els my fences and iudgement fayleth

So (good Reader) do iudge of my labours : my pen is pro-
cured by a band of caufes to write as farre as my knowlcdge
may leade : and my duetie hath no end of feruice, nor no li-
mits are fer to a loyall Subie&, but to wifh and worke to the
vtternmft of power.
Within this worke are feuerall difcourfes: fome of the
beautie & bleffednes of the Countrey : fome of the ftrength
and ftatelyneffe of their inpregnable Caftles : fome of their
trim Townes and fine fituation: fome of their antiquitie,
fhewing from what Kings and Princes they tooke their firft
name and prerogatiue. So generally of ail maner of matters
belonging to that Soyle, as Churches, Monuments, Moun-
taynes, Valleys, Waters, Bridges, fayre Gentlemens houles,
and the reft of things whatfoeuer, may become a writers
pen to touch, or a readers iudgement to knowe. I write hot

Ta t/te Reade:
contencioufly to find fault with any, or confute the former
writers and tyme: but to aduance and winne credite to the
prefent trueth, agreeing and yeelding to all former tymes
and ages, that hath iuftly giuen euery Nation their due, and
truely without affed'tion hath fet downe in plaine words the
worthines of plaine people: for I hollor and loue as much a
truc Author, as I hate and deteff a reporter of trifcling fa-
bles. A te Hiorie is caIIed the 3Iiffreffe of lire: and yet all
Hioryographers in xvriting of one thing, agree not wel[
one with another : becaufe the writers were hot prefent in
the tymes, in the places, nor faw the perlons they make mê-
tion of: but rather haue leaned and liffned on the common
report, than flayed or trufled to their owne experience.
Strabo a moff famous writer finales fault (for the like oc-
cation) with Efi«othcus, 3[«trodorus, S,tius, Poflidonius, and
Palroclcs the Geographer : And fuch difcord did arife amfig
writers in tyme pa, as Iophus faith again .qpio, that they
reprooued one another b), bookes, and all men in generall
reprooued tIcrodotus.
God flfield me #oto fuch caueling for I deliuer but what
I haue fcene and read: alledging for defence both auncient
Authors, and good tr)'all of that is written. Wherefore (lo-
uing Reader) doe rather ruggle with thofe two rong pil-
lars of knowledge, than riue with the weakneffe of my in-
uention: which to auoyde flaarpneffe (and bitter words) is
fweetned and feafoned with gentle verres, more pleafant to
fome mens eares then profe, and vnder whofe finooth grace
of fpeech, more acceptable matter is conuayed, then the
common fort ofpeople can comprehend. For verres like a
familiar friend (vith a gallant phrafe) rides quietly by thou-
fands, and daflaeth no one perron, and galloping cleanl}, a-
way merites no rebuke: when profe with a fort pace cannot
with fuch cunning paffe vnperceiued . But a!l is one
when in neither of both is round no marrer of
miffruff, nor fpeeches to offend, there is no
caufe of diflike . So crauing thy good
opinion, good Reader farewell.
