 3      1, IV   |          it is either a belief of history, or, as the lawyers speak,
 4      1, IV   |           error in ecclesiastical history; which hath too easily received
 5      1, IV   |      religion.~(10) So in natural history, we see there hath not been
 6      1, IV   |          diligent and exquisite a history of living creatures, hath
 7      1, VI   |   anything which appeareth in the history of the creation, the confused
 8      1, VI   |         also to compile a natural history of all verdure, from the
 9      1, VII  |   testimony of grave and faithful history doth more lively set forth
10      1, VII  |       left unto us that excellent history of his own wars, which he

13      2, I    |       theology consisteth also of history of the Church; of parables,
14      2, I    |        prophecy, it is but divine history, which hath that prerogative
15      2, I    |        fact as well as after.~(2) History is natural, civil, ecclesiastical,
16      2, I    | ecclesiastical; without which the history of the world seemeth to
17      2, I    |          divine as ecclesiastical history thoroughly read and observed,
18      2, I    |        reason is of learning.~(3) History of Nature is of three sorts;
19      2, I    |      altered or wrought; that is, history of creatures, history of
20      2, I    |         is, history of creatures, history of marvels, and history
21      2, I    |           history of marvels, and history of arts. The first of these
22      2, I    |          am I of opinion, in this history of marvels, that superstitious
23      2, I    |          story of Nature.~(5) For history of Nature, wrought or mechanical,
24      2, I    |         of any weight, the use of history mechanical is of all others
25      2, II   |                  II~(1) For civil history, it is of three kinds; not
26      2, II   |    antiquities; for memorials are history unfinished, or the first
27      2, II   |          first or rough drafts of history; and antiquities are history
28      2, II   |      history; and antiquities are history defaced, or some remnants
29      2, II   |      defaced, or some remnants of history which have casually escaped
30      2, II   |         Memorials, or preparatory history, are of two sorts; whereof
31      2, II   |          a commentary to the best history of the world). Registers
32      2, II   |       Antiquities, or remnants of history, are, as was said, tanquam
33      2, II   |          corruptions and moths of history, which are epitomes, the
34      2, II   |           unprofitable dregs.~(5) History, which may be called just
35      2, II   |           called just and perfect history, is of three kinds, according
36      2, II   |     complete and absolute kind of history, and hath most estimation
37      2, II   |         verity and sincerity. For history of times representeth the
38      2, II   |           conjecture.~(6) For the history of times, I mean of civil
39      2, II   |         of times, I mean of civil history, the providence of God hath
40      2, II   |      called by the name of modern history.~(7) Now to speak of the
41      2, II   |           from our sight. For the history of the exemplar states,
42      2, II   |          were a perfect course of history for Graecia, from Theseus
43      2, II   |           the unworthiness of the history of England in the main continuance
44      2, II   |       come, so were joined in one history for the times passed, after
45      2, II   |          the manner of the sacred history, which draweth down the
46      2, II   |        not common to write a good history, as may well appear by the
47      2, II   |           compiling of a complete history of times might be the better
48      2, II   |          yet another partition of history which Cornelius Tacitus
49      2, II   |         imbase the authority of a history to intermingle matters of
50      2, II   |         hath not only been in the history of time, but likewise in
51      2, II   |         time, but likewise in the history of persons, and chiefly
52      2, II   |            containing a scattered history of those actions which they
53      2, II   |          not incorporate into the history, but separately, and as
54      2, II   |           which kind of ruminated history I think more fit to place
55      2, II   |      speak, than amongst books of history. For it is the true office
56      2, II   |          it is the true office of history to represent the events
57      2, II   |          is there another kind of history manifoldly mixed, and that
58      2, II   |     manifoldly mixed, and that is history of cosmography: being compounded
59      2, II   |       being compounded of natural history, in respect of the regions
60      2, II   |        the regions themselves; of history civil, in respect of the
61      2, III  |                           III~(1) History ecclesiastical receiveth
62      2, III  |           the same divisions with history civil: but further in the
63      2, III  |           may be divided into the history of the Church, by a general
64      2, III  |        Church, by a general name; history of prophecy; and history
65      2, III  |          history of prophecy; and history of providence. The first
66      2, III  |           2) The second, which is history of prophecy, consisteth
67      2, III  |            3) The third, which is history of Providence, containeth
68      2, III  |           which are appendices to history. For all the exterior proceedings
69      2, III  |          words and deeds, whereof history doth properly receive and
70      2, III  |         the best instructions for history, and to a diligent reader
71      2, III  |           of Caesar’s; for as his history, and those few letters of
72      2, III  |         much therefore concerning history, which is that part of learning
73      2, IV   |          nothing else but feigned history, which may be styled as
74      2, IV   |           The use of this feigned history hath been to give some shadow
75      2, IV   |        the acts or events of true history have not that magnitude
76      2, IV   |       more heroical. Because true history propoundeth the successes

78      2, IV   |           are common unto it with history, as feigned chronicles,
79      2, IV   |      lives, and the appendices of history, as feigned epistles, feigned

87      2, VII  |  philosophy, the basis is natural history; the stage next the basis
