How happy then those Servants of yours, whose fidelity and Industry is known to your Majesty, not from the interpretation and reports of others, but your own experience! So as you Reward as well with Judgment, as Bounty; and verily that is true Beneficence to place your Recompense as well equally as freely: Most other Virtues are competent to the rest of Men; Beneficence only to a Prince, as his most Essential property, and the noblest ingredient of his _Elogy_. Hence that great Saint, as well as Courtier and Prelate has directed, _Si quis Principem laudare vellet, nihil illi adeo decorum adscriberet quam Magnificentiam_; [SN: _S. Chrysost._] and _Criticks_ observe, that where the wise King _Solomon_ sayes, _Multi colunt personam Principis_, the _Hebrew_ version reads it, _personam Benefici_, as importing both; and in that of his Who was greater then _Solomon_, _Qui dominantur eorum Benefici vocantur_, the _Chaldy_ turnes, _Principes vocantur_, as if by a convertible figure, He could not be a Prince who were not Beneficent; nor he that is truly Beneficent, unworthy of that Title. I remember 'tis somewhere said of _Saul_ that he Reign'd but two years; because he was so long it seems good to his people, and reigned in their hearts; For as the Sun himself should not be the Sun, if he did not shine; no more should a Prince be worthy of his dignity, if he unjustly Ecclips'd his influence, or abused his Magnificency. But as we said, this virtue is added to your Majesties also; who know so well to adjust its Definition by your constant practice, rendering it (as indeed it ought) productive of your will for glorious and honest ends only; But I now proceed with the rest. There is such a Majesty in your Countenance, such Lenity in your Eyes, gravity in your speech, as that for your gracefull presence that may be truly affirm'd of you what was once appli'd to a great Prince resembling you, _Jam firmitas, Jam proceritas corporis, jam honor Capitis & dignitas oris, ad hoc aetatis indeflexa maturitas, nonne longe lateque principem ostentant?_ since even all these assemble in your Majesties personage; Nor has fortune chang'd you after all your Travels and Adventures abroad; but brought you back to us not so much as tinged in the percolations through which you have been forc'd to run, like the Fountain _Arethusa_ through the River _Alpheus_ without commixture of their waters. None having more constantly retained his vertue then your Majesty, nor guarded it with more caution.
