A45112he had sought to make them smart that wronged him, why not cherish those that did him good offices?
A45112he had warred on them, that had warred against him: why should hee not keep friendship with those who kept friendship with him?

A45112vvhy should hee have meddled vvith them?
A45112was it enough that they would not, or durst not( perhaps) or could not openly rebell?
A45112was it not something to want their affections?
A45112was it not sufficient to have preached[ Obedience] to good Kings?
A45112was there none of them fit for those places?
A45112was there warre?
A45112were there no more wise men in the Countrey?
A45112were they just?
A45112were they sober, modest, and moderate?
A45112what could a Prelate do?
A45112what could he, especially being under the beasts feet, as we say, and subject to King Edward?
A45112what is become of your Proclamations?
A45112what motions will either remain of old or spread of new in the hearts of men, where Gods work is to be done?
A45112what needed all this processe?
A45112what needed they to have let him see the King at all?
A45112what unto the time?
A45112what unto youth?
A45112what was his speech to him but a flattery both of himself and Diogenes?
A45112what wisedome behoved it to be?
A45112what would they make the end of their hatred, or reward of their victory?
A45112where was the Earle of March, a valiant man, and of an ancient stocke?
A45112wherefore came he, and with so huge an Army?
A45112who but they were able to do it?
A45112who shall credit them, when afterwards( as heretofore) they shall take on the name of the good cause?
A45112who was so 〈 ◊ 〉 for it?
A45112who would not have thought that he who knew so well what was right, would have had some regard to doe right?
A45112why came you unsent for?
A45112why is he set at his table?
A45112why should it not then bee fortified against them?
A45112without the mixture of their cause?
A45112without their particular suiting?
A45112ye will say, and what was the cause of his ruine?
A45112yea rather, why are such things done, as procure their disfavour, and hatred?
A45112yea, who knowes but God hath cast them into his hands for that end, that they may bee taken out of his hands, and hee punished for it?
A45110( will some say) and is it not fit, that Subjects should keepe themselves within some certain bounds, that are not envious, or suspect to Princes?
A45110A mans goods are taken from him by a briggand, who doubts but God hath given them into the briggands hands?
A45110And I pray you what hath their wisedome beene?
A45110And do we prepare our selves to withstand the common enemy?
A45110And encampe against England?
A45110And hath Wedderburne any cattell stollen from him, sayes Morton?
A45110And how could they be removed without controlling of the King?
A45110And how many are there that would have forborne in such power, and upon such an occasion?
A45110And if hee should ever continue to bee such, without returning to bee a man, whether or not must hee bee ever obeyed in all things?
A45110And if not, why is it then left off?
A45110And if the Earle Douglas his particular was in it, what then?
A45110And if wee may take order with his counsellours, who will be his counsellour?
A45110And is it not thought halfe dutie, not to be over precise in dutie; and half justice, not to look too narrowly to justice?
A45110And on whom could it have been so well bestowed?
A45110And to contrary him( though it were for his good and sasetie) how ill would it be taken by him?
A45110And was it nothing to lose the Nobility, to alienate their hearts?
A45110And what miserable case had the Person of this good King been in, if he had gotten his own will?
A45110And what trouble have I still to keep him in good order?
A45110And where just cause of enmity was, how could it be more modestly used?
A45110And whether is there more danger in the sedition of his Countrey people, then in the ambition of a stranger Prince?
A45110And which of them is likeliest to picke a quarrell against him, and to call him a Tyrant, and seeke occasion to worke their owne particular ends?
A45110And who could have done otherwayes?
A45110And who is there that keeps that golden mean?
A45110And who would have doubted after such assurances?
A45110And why might hee not then have heard them?
A45110And why should any be displeased that wil be pleased with it?
A45110And why should not I be as loath to put him to any hazard, or to occasion any trouble to him, contrary to his disposition?
A45110And why then is there nothing done to retaine this favour?
A45110Are means failed him?
A45110As for your Chief( the Lord Hume) dare we think better of him?
A45110At quid ego haec antiqua?
A45110Barbarus has segetes?
A45110Because I have revenged the defacing of the tombes of my Ancestors at Melrosse upon Ralph Ivers?
A45110Besides the secret loathings in the estate of marriage( which who knows but the actors?)
A45110Besides, what shall be the part of the people in this case?
A45110But doth it therefore follow, that no man( not the Magistrate) may take them from him againe, because God hath put them into his hands?
A45110But he would none of such wisedome, he marrieth her himself, and disappoints them all, who could look for any rising by these mens means?
A45110But his so full confidence thus reposing on their credit, was it not enough to have tied them to have kept their credit?
A45110But how could it be too great, that was thus for the good of it?
A45110But how shall they doe with him?
A45110But how shall we do then?
A45110But if, omitting this, a flattering, or a fearefull course bee taken, who shall speake plaine, and assist such fearefull dissemblers?
A45110But is he the better for this injustice?
A45110But leaving the particular, let me heare you of the generall, What you thinke of that Sermon, and of his grounds?
A45110But to the question we are on; your Lordship remembers the ground that Master Craig did lay?
A45110But was there no care to bee taken for keeping the Nobility also ungrieved?
A45110But were they the onely wise men?
A45110But what can I help it?
A45110But what can prevaile against that which God hath ordained?
A45110But what courage and confidence was it, that they durst adventure with so great perill to bee so courteous as they were?
A45110But what should hee doe?
A45110But what society could be sure with the Earle of Gowrie so often changing?
A45110But when should he have been Earl of Angus?
A45110But who can keep himself from deceit: What wisedome was ever able to do it?
A45110But who was so sit for his service as the Earle of Angus?
A45110But why should he have thought so?
A45110But why should wee thinke it a change?
A45110But would they give him a Passive Obedience?
A45110Doth ambition spring from a great minde?
A45110Doth envie, of vertue?
A45110Edward of England came with 50000. men into Scotland; to what purpose so many?
A45110Et impius haec tam culta novalia milcs habebit?
A45110Et quisnam sustinuisse queat?
A45110Fallor?
A45110For if the case of all Subjects towards their Princes be such, what can we doe but depend on their pleasure?
A45110For the Language it is my Mother- tongue, that is, Scottish: and why not, to Scottish- men?
A45110For to whom could they be given so justly and pertinently?
A45110For( said hee) how could the Colonell undertake to apprehend him with so small a number of men, if hee had not himselfe beene willing to bee taken?
A45110God looketh not so upon things: hee had before( as wee heard) slain Sir Alexander Ramsay, he must not want his owne share, but who durst doe it?
A45110Haec coctum potuit probare?
A45110Haec cuncti cumulum stagitii manus Patrare?
A45110Haeccine laudatur justitia?
A45110Haeccine( Rectores) vestra est prudentia tanta?
A45110He is in possession of the Crown, how can it be taken from him again?
A45110He will work his own ends, and who knoweth after what manner?
A45110His third[ David did not slay Saul, therefore no man should lay hands on a Tyrant] how loose is it?
A45110Hold his hands; or( if there were need) even binde him rather?
A45110How can he be desired to dimit?
A45110How comes it then( sayes Drummond) that ye spake so familiarly to him?
A45110How could this bee obviated, unlesse these men were removed?
A45110How many traines hath peace?
A45110How shall the Countrey, the State, Religion, Lawes, Order, and particular mens estates be saved from ruine?
A45110Hume, David, 1560?-1630?
A45110Hume, David, 1560?-1630?
A45110I ask him then, Whether such a King should bee obeyed, when hee is a Wolfe?
A45110I aske them whether they had a just cause in hand or not?
A45110If I should take a course to crosse and force them, How dangerous were it?
A45110If he was not guilty, why was he put to death?
A45110If hee doubted, or distrusted the towne of Dundie, why did hee commit himselfe to them, or come in their power?
A45110If his changing proceeded from fraud and deceit, who could joyne with him?
A45110If they be carried to inconvenience, who can but lament it?
A45110If wee admit Morton to be a judge or witnesse( and what better either judge or witnesse can we finde?)
A45110In himself?
A45110In me virtutem videas, verumque laborem: Fortunam proprio quis regat arbitrio?
A45110In me you may the hight of worth behold; But ah, who in his power can Fortune hold?
A45110In what subjects race is it so full and perfect, according to all the acceptions, and significations thereof?
A45110In which opposition, if we weigh it narrowly, how many vertues doe appeare?
A45110Is our brother- in- law offended( sayes he) that I am a good Scottish man?
A45110Is their cause already ended?
A45110Is this these Rulers wisedome?
A45110It is true she lived in England with her husband Lennox, who was banished, but who knew how soon he might be recalled and restored?
A45110It vvas for no common good of the Countrey, no nor for any good vvill to the Earle: vvhat could he doe then?
A45110It was some yeares after his first committing, but what yeare?
A45110King Alexander, did he not flatter Diogenes?
A45110Let the Master behave himselfe as hee pleaseth, can the King but thinke that hee would rather wish his owne sister sonne King?
A45110Magnis te quoque junge viris: quid passus Ulysses?
A45110Men are honourable by their marriage: Who then so honourable as he?
A45110My Cell, my Cloyster, and my hooded Gowne?
A45110My brother- in- law( the Earle Bothwell) how uncertain is hee?
A45110None saith he, nor rebellion greatly, that appeared any where, what doth hee then?
A45110Now sith these youths were not guiltie, whereof were they not guilty that put them to death?
A45110Now that she had quit it by marrying, why should they not choose another to succeed into the place which she had left?
A45110Now they being absent, who but a Douglas?
A45110Now to come to the particulars of the Sermon: To what use was it at that time to preach[ Obedience] to Tyrants?
A45110O furor, O rabtes, perdere velle suos?
A45110On the other side, Shee is living and dis- possessed; but who that hath ever worne a Crowne, can live and bee content to want it?
A45110Or how many are there that care for these things, or can discern?
A45110Or if any do it, who cares for it, or is moved with it?
A45110Or if it were from feare, what sure hold could they have of one so fearfull?
A45110Or in their standing in such greatnesse?
A45110Or what could hee devise more?
A45110Or who will execute his unjust will?
A45110Or would they set aside such ceremonie, and stay him from it calmely?
A45110Or, of whose friendship could I assure my self?
A45110Prima ubi luctando vici, sors affuit ausis Omnibus,& quid non pro patria ausus eram?
A45110Psalme( God sits in the assembly of the Gods) And what he built thereon?
A45110Put the Augre or Wimble out of the way, or keep it from him?

A45110Shall they joyne with him?
A45110Shall they oppose?
A45110Should such a Nobleman have glosed with such as they were, flattered and dissembled, and strooke cream in their mouth?
A45110Should they keep silence?
A45110Si violandum est jus,& c. If law or lawfulnesse should be broken, where should it rather be broken, then for a Kingdome?
A45110Sir James being thus rebuked, what could he do against a King, a Monarch, a victorious and triumphant King?
A45110Some may think him ambitious in standing for the Crowne, but if he thought he had right, what could he doe lesse?
A45110Such is the estate of man, what can they lean to on earth?
A45110The Declaration of their cause, why was it published?

A45110This is the way: would you a great name win?
A45110This( said he) is the right way of application, but who doth it now- a- dayes?
A45110Thus they said; but how can this bee done?
