Come -let us goe into the fields, I am a Traveller, and can tell you strange -newes, and much knowledge, and I have brought it over the sea without -paying any Custome, though it bee worth all the merchandize in the -kingdome. - -_Schol._ We Scholars love to heare newes, and to learne knowledge, I -will wait upon you, goe whither you will. - -_Trav._ Well, we will goe into Moore fields, and take a turne or two, -there we shall be out of this noise, and throng of people. - -_Sch._ Agreed; but as we goe, what good newes doe you heare of the -Parliament? - -_Trav._ I heare that they are generally bent to make a good -reformation, but that they have some stops and hinderances, so that -they cannot make such quick dispatch as they would; and if any -experience which I have learned in my long travels, may stand them in -stead, I would willingly impart it for the publick good. - -_Sch._ I like that well, I pray you declare some good experience, that -I may say that I have gained some thing by the company of Travellers. - -_Trav._ In a Kingdome called _Macaria_, the King and the Governours -doe live in great honour and riches, and the people doe live in great -plenty, prosperitie, health, peace, and happinesse, and have not halfe -so much trouble as they have in these European Countreyes. - -_Sch._ That seemeth to me impossible: you Travellers must take heed of -two things principally in your relations; first, that you say nothing -that is generally deemed impossible. Secondly, that your relation hath -no contradiction in it, or else all men will think that you make use -of the Travellers priviledge, to wit, to lie by authority. - -_Trav._ If I could change all the minds in England as easily as I -suppose I shall change yours, this Kingdome would be presently like to -it: when you heare the manner of their government, you will deeme it -to be very possible, and withall very easie. - -_Sch._ I pray you sir declare the manner of their government, for I -think long till I heare it. - -_Trav._ As for brevitie in discourse, I shall answer your desire. They -have a Great Councell like to the Parliament in England, but it -sitteth once a yeer for a short space, and they heare no complaints -against any but Ministers of State, Judges, and Officers; those they -trounce soundly, if there be cause: Besides, they have five under -Councels; to wit, - - A Councell of Husbandry. - A Councell of Fishing. - A Councell of Trade by Land. - A Councell of Trade by Sea. - A Councell for new Plantations. - -These sit once a yeere for a very short space, and have power to heare -and determine, and to punish Malefactors severely, and to reward -Benefactors honourable, and to make new lawes, not repugnant to the -lawes of the Great Councell, for the whole Kingdome, like as Court -Leets, and Corporations have within their owne Precincts and Liberties -in England. - -_Sch._ I pray you sir declare some of the principall Lawes made by -those under Councels. - -_Trav._ The Councell of Husbandry hath ordered, that the twentieth -part of every mans goods that dieth shall be employed about the -improving of lands, and making of High-wayes faire, and bridges over -Rivers; by which meanes the whole Kingdome is become like to a -fruitfull Garden, the High-wayes are paved, and are as faire as the -streets of a Citie; and as for Bridges over Rivers, they are so high, -that none are ever drowned in their travels. - -Also they have established a law, that if any man holdeth more land -than he is able to improve to the utmost, he shall be admonished, -first, of the great hinderance which it doth to the Common-wealth. -Secondly, of the prejudice to himselfe; and if hee doe not amend his -Husbandry within a yearespace, there is a penalty set upon him, which -is yeerely doubled, till his lands be forfeited, and he banished out -of the Kingdome, as an enemy to the common-wealth. - -In the Councell of Fishing there are lawes established, whereby -immense riches are yeerly drawne out of the Ocean. - -In the Councell of Trade by Land there are established Lawes, so that -there are not too many Tradesmen, nor too few, by enjoyning longer or -shorter times of Apprentiships. - -In the Councell of Trade by Sea there is established a law, that all -Traffick is lawfull which may enrich the Kingdome. - -In the Councell for new Plantations there is established a law, that -every yeere a certaine number shall be sent out, strongly fortified, -and provided for at the publike charge, till such times as they may -subsist by their owne endevours: and this number is set downe by the -said Councell, wherein they take diligent notice of the surplusage of -people that may be spared. - -_Sch._ But you spoke of peace to be permanent in that Kingdome, how -can that be? - -_Trav._ Very easily; for they have a law, that if any Prince shall -attempt any invasion, his kingdome shall be lawfull prize: and the -Inhabitants of this happy Countrey are so numerous, strong, and rich, -that they have destroyed some without any considerable resistance; and -the rest take warning. - -_Sch._ But you spoke of health, how can that be procured by a better -way than wee have here in England? - -_Trav._ Yes very easily; for they have an house, or Colledge of -experience, where they deliver out yeerly such medicines as they find -out by experience; and all such as shall be able to demonstrate any -experiment for the health or wealth of men, are honourably rewarded at -the publike charge, by which their skill in Husbandry, Physick, and -Surgerie, is most excellent. - -_Sch._ But this is against Physicians. - -_Trav._ In _Macaria_ the Parson of every Parish is a good Physician, -and doth execute both functions, to wit, _cura animarum_, & _cura -corporum_; and they think it as absurd for a Divine to be without the -skill of Physick, as it is to put new wine into old bottles; and the -Physicians being true Naturalists, may as well become good Divines, as -the Divines doe become good Physicians. - -_Sch._ But you spoke of grat facilitie that these men have in their -functions, how can that be? - -_Trav._ Very easily: for the Divines, by reason that the Societie of -Experimenters is liable to an action, if they shall deliver out any -false receit, are not troubled to trie conclusions, or experiments, -but onely to consider of the diversitie of natures, complexions, and -constitutions, which they are to know, for the cure of soules, as well -as of bodies. - -_Sch._ I know divers Divines in England that are Physicians, and -therefore I hold well with this report, and I would that all were -such, for they have great estimation with the people, and can rule -them at their pleasure? - -_Sch._ But how cometh the facilitie of becoming good Divines? - -_Trav._ They are all of approved abilitie in humane learning, before -they take in hand that function, and then they have such rules, that -they need no considerable studie to accomplish all knowledge fit for -Divines, by reason that there are no diversitie of opinions amongst -them. - -_Sch._ How can that be? - -_Trav._ Very easily: for they have a law, that if any Divine shall -publish a new opinion to the Common people, he shall be accounted a -disturber of the publick peace, and shall suffer death for it. - -_Sch._ But that is the way to keep them in errour perpetually, if they -be once in it. - -_Trav._ You are deceived; for if any one hath conceived a new opinion, -he is allowed everie yeere freely to dispute it before the Great -Councell; if he overcome his Adversaries, or such as are appointed to -be Opponents, then it is generally received for truth; if he be -overcome, then it is declared to be false. - -_Sch._ It seemeth that they are Christians by your relation of the -Parochiall Ministers, but whether are they Protestants or Papists? - -_Trav._ Their Religion consists not in taking notice of severall -opinions and sects, but is made up of infallible tenets, which may be -proved by invincible arguments, and such as will abide the grand test -of extreme dispute; by which meanes none have power to stirre up -Schismes and Heresies; neither are any of their opinions ridiculous to -those who are of contrarie minds. - -_Schol._ But you spoke of great honour which the Governours have in -the Kingdome of _Macaria_. - -_Trav._ They must needs receive great honour of the people, by reason -that there is no injustice done, or very seldome, perhaps once in an -age. - -_Sch._ But how come they by their great riches which you speak of? - -_Trav._ It is holden a principall policie in State to allow to the -ministers of State, Judges, and chiefe Officers, great revenues; for -that, in case they doe not their dutie, in looking to the Kingdomes -safety, for conscience sake, yet they may doe it for feare of loosing -their owne great Estates. - -_Sch._ But how can the King of _Macaria_ be so rich as you speak -of? - -_Trav._ He taketh a strict course that all his Crown lands be improved -to the utmost, as Forrests, Parkes, Chases, &c. by which meanes his -revenues are so great, that hee seldome needeth to put impositions -upon his Subjects, by reason hee hath seldome any warres; and if there -bee cause, the Subjects are as ready to give, as hee to demand: for -they hold it to bee a principall policie in State, to keep the Kings -Cofers full, and so full, that it is an astonishment to all Invaders. - -_Sch._ But how cometh the Kings great honour which you speak of? - -_Trav._ Who can but love and honour such a Prince, which in his tender -and parentall care of the publick good of his loving Subjects, useth no -pretences for realities, like to some Princes, in their Acts of State, -Edicts, and Proclamations? - -_Sch._ But you Travellers must take heed of contradictions in your -relations; you have affirmed, that the Governours in _Macaria_ have -not halfe so much trouble, as they have in these European Kingdomes, -and yet by your report they have a Great Councell, like to our -Parliament in England, which sit once a yeare: besides that, they have -five Under Councels, which sit once a yeare, then how commeth this -facility in government? - -_Trav._ The Great Councell heareth no complaints, but against -Ministers of State, Judges, and chiefe Officers; these, being sure to -bee trounsed once a yeare, doe never, or very seldome offend: So that -their meeting is rather a festivity, than a trouble. And as for the -Judges and chiefe Officers, there is no hope that any man can prevaile -in his suit by bribery, favour, or corrupt dealing; so that they have -few causes to be troubled withall. - -_Sch._ I have read over Sr. _Thomas Mores Vtopia_, and my Lord -_Bacons New Atlantis_, which hee called so in imitation of _Plato_'s -old one, but none of them giveth mee satisfaction, how the Kingdome of -England may be happy, so much as this discourse, which is briefe and -pithy, and easie to be effected, if all men be willing. - -_Trav._ You Divines have the sway of mens minds, you may as easily -perswade them to good as to bad, to truth as well as to falshood. - -_Sch._ Well, in my next Sermon I will make it manifest, that those -that are against this honourable designe, are first, enimies to God -and goodnesse; secondly, enimies to the Common-wealth; thirdly, -enimies to themselves, and their posterity. - -_Trav._ And you may put in, that they are enimies to the King, and to -his posterity, and so consequently, traitors: for hee that would not -have the Kings honour, and riches to be advanced, and his Kingdome to -bee permanent to him, and to his heires, is a traitor, or else I know -not what treason meaneth. - -_Sch._ Well, I see that the cause is not in God, but in mens fooleries, -that the people live in misery in this world, when they may so easily -bee relieved: I will joyne my forces with you, and wee will try a -conclusion, to make our selves and posterity to bee happy. - -_Trav._ Well, what will you doe towards the worke? - -_Sch._ I have told you before, I will publish it in my next Sermon, -and I will use meanes that in all Visitations and meetings of Divines, -they may bee exhorted to doe the like. - -_Trav._ This would doe the feat, but that the Divines in England, -having not the skill of Physick, are not so highly esteemed, nor beare -so great a sway as they doe in _Macaria_. - -_Sch._ Well, what will you doe toward the worke? - -_Trav._ I will propound a book of Husbandry to the high Court of -Parliament, whereby the Kingdome may maintaine double the number of -people, which it doth now, and in more plenty and prosperity, than now -they enjoy. - -_Sch._ That is excellent: I cannot conceive, but that if a Kingdome -may be improved to maintaine twice as many people as it did before, it -is as good as the conquest of another Kingdome, as great, if not -better. - -_Trav._ Nay, it is certainly better; for when the Townes are thin, and -farre distant, and the people scarce and poore, the King cannot raise -men and money upon any sudden occasion, without great difficulty. - -_Sch._ Have you a coppy of that booke of Husbandry about you, which is -to bee propounded to the Parliament? - -_Trav._ Yes, here is a coppy, peruse it, whilest I goe about a little -businesse, and I will presently returne to you. Well, have you perused -my book? - -_Sch._ Yes Sir: and finde that you shew the transmutation of sublunary -bodies, in such manner, that any man may be rich that will be -industrious; you shew also, how great cities, which formerly devoured -the fatnesse of the Kingdome, may yearely make a considerable -retribution without any mans prejudice, and your demonstrations are -infallible; this booke will certainly be highly accepted by the high -Court of Parliament. - -_Trav._ Yes, I doubt it not; for I have shewed it to divers Parliament -men, who have all promised mee faire, so soone as a seasonable time -commeth for such occasions. - -_Sch._ Were I a Parliament man, I would labour to have this book to -bee dispatched, the next thing that is done; for with all my seven -Liberall Arts I cannot discover, how any businesse can bee of more -weight than this, wherein the publike good is so greatly furthered; -which to further, we are all bound by the law of God, and Nature. - -_Trav._ If this conference bee seriously considered of, it is no -laughing matter; for you heare of the combustions in France, Spaine, -Germanie, and other Christian Countreys; you know that a house divided -against itselfe cannot stand: This may give the Turke an advantage, so -that England may feare to have him a neerer neighbour than they -desire. Why should not all the inhabitants of England joyne with one -consent, to make this countrey to bee like to _Macaria_, that is -numerous in people, rich in treasure and munition, that so they may -bee invincible? - -_Sch._ None but fooles or mad men will be against it: you have changed -my minde, according to your former prediction, and I will change as -many minds as I can, by the waies formerly mentioned, and I pray you, -that for a further means, this Conference may be printed. - -_Trav._ Well, it shall be done forthwith. - -_Sch._ But one thing troubleth me, that many Divines are of opinion, -that no such Reformation as we would have, shall come before the day -of judgement. - -_Trav._ Indeed there are many Divines of that opinion, but I can shew -an hundred Texts of Scripture, which doe plainly prove, that such a -Reformation shall come before the day of judgement. - -_Sch._ Yea, I have read many plaine Texts of Scripture to that -purpose, but when I searched the Expositors, I found that they did -generally expound them mystically. - -_Trav._ That is true; but worthy St. _Hierome_, considering that those -places of Scripture would not beare an Allegoricall exposition, said -thus, _Possumus sicut & multi alii omnia hæc spiritualiter exponere, -sed vereor, ne hujusmodi expositionem, prudentes lectores nequaquam -recipiant_. - -_Sch._ I am of St. _Hierom_'s minde, and therefore with alacrity let -us pursue our good intentions, and bee good instruments in this worke -of Reformation. - -_Trav._ There be naturall causes also to further it; for the Art of -Printing will so spread knowledge, that the common people, knowing -their own rights and liberties, will not be governed by way of -oppression; and so, by little and little, all Kingdomes will be like -to _Macaria_. - -_Sch._ That will bee a good change, when as well superiors as -inferiors shall bee more happy: Well, I am imparadised in my minde, in -thinking that England may bee made happy, with such expedition and -facility. - -_Trav._ Well, doe you know any man that hath any secrets, or good -experiments? I will give him gold for them, or others as good in -exchange; that is all the trade I have driven a long time, those -riches are free from Customes and Impositions, and I have travelled -through many Kingdomes, and paid neither fraight nor Custome for my -wares, though I valued them above all the riches in the Kingdome. - -_Sch._ I know a Gentleman that is greatly addicted to try experiments, -but how hee hath prospered I am not certaine; I will bring you -acquainted with him, perhaps you may doe one another good. - -_Trav._ Well, I have appointed a meeting at two of the clocke this -day, I love to discourse with Scholars, yet wee must part; if you meet -mee here the next Munday at the Exchange, I Will declare to you some -more of the Lawes, Customes, and manners of the inhabitants of -_Macaria_. - -_Sch._ I will not faile to meet you for any worldly respect; and if I -should bee sicke, I would come in a Sedan: I never received such -satisfaction and contentment by any discourse in my life: I doubt not -but wee shall obtaine our desires, to make England to bee like to -_Macaria_; for which our posterity which are yet unborne, will -fare the better: and though our neighbour Countreys are pleased to -call the English a dull Nation, yet the major part are sensible of -their owne good, and the good of their posterity, and those will sway -the rest; so wee and our posterity shall bee all happie. - - -FINIS. - - - - -Transcriber's Note - -Words and phrases in italics are surrounded by underscores, _like this_. -Obsolete and alternative spellings are unchanged.
