257FRANCIS Lord BACON. as the Arts and Policy of a Great Stateſman, then; who la-
boured by all induſtrious, and ſecret Means, to ſuppreſs,
and keep him down; leſt, if he had riſen, he might have obſcur-
ed his Glory.

But though; he ſtood long at a ſtay, in the Dayes of his Mi-
ſtreſs Queen Elizabeth; ret, after the change, and Coming
in of his New Maſter, King James, he made a great pro-
greſs; by whom he was much comforted, in Places of Truſt,
Honour, and Revenue, I have ſeen, a Letter of his Lord-
ſhips, to King James, wherein he makes Acknowledgement;
That he was that Maſter to him, that had raiſed and ad-

with his Mannour of Gorhambury; and other Lands and
Poſſeſſions, near thereunto adjoyning, awounting to a third
part more, he retained to his Dying Day.

Towards his Riſing years, not before, he entered into a mar-
ried Eſtate, and took to Wife, Alice, one of the Daughters,
and Co heirs of Benedict Barnham, Eſquire, and Alder-
man of London, with whom he received, a ſufficiently am-
ple, and liberal Portion, in Marriage. Children he had
none: which, though they be the means to perpetuate our
Names, after our Deaths; yet he had other Iſſues to perpe-
