H Theatre dfPelitic/d ftyflg Infests,

morning before,(hee often descend* to the bottomeof the Hive,wi>h shriller and thicker,longer, and more continued notes thanat first, chat none may plead ignorance,but all know,and acknow-ledge , there is a new Princess, and bee ready to attend herwhen (hee takes possession of her Royalty, dealing herein (butthat (hee is bet own ofScet, and it is no disparagement, for theQueen mother is her continual assistant) as Princes on earththat come newly co succeed in their Dominions, they make itknown by found of Trumpets, and Proclamations, in the mosteminent parts of the Kingdome.

But take notice by the way, that sometimes the Commonalty,(knowingbest their numbers within, and the (late of the wea-ther abroad) not thinking it go od to make a division, will afterleave obtained, kill the young Princess, and all the infants of theblood Royal, but this is not ordinary.

If the Queen mother after a long intreacy be silent, then thereis no way but one , (hee must dye, and all her Allies. As the Mr.BatlcrQueens voice is a grant, so her silence is a st it denial : TheProverb here hath no place , tacit , c a*sent ire videtur , for

without this concent, there is no consent.

Sometimes a third, nay a fourth will arise after a second, ifthe prime swarm bee broken; but all (ordinarily) within afortnight. I have knowixhe last ( but rarely, and in bad wea-ther) seventeen dayes after the K st.

When the swarm is up and busie in their dance, it hath beenan old and common practice , for want of other musick, to playthemaficof Mirth, on a Bason, Warming-pan, ot Kettle, tomake them more speedily light, and keep them from flying a-way, but this (though ordinary) yet is needless in this respect,for they will settle os themselves, except they have chosen aplace besore-band, which is very near. And then when theircompany is all out , they will stye directly thither , and yourringing and tinging, will prevail nothing co pexswade theirstay.

This benefit there is of ringing , that if you have neighboursnear, you that keep Bees, you may give notice thereby co pre-vent wranghng, if some «f them should rise at the sametime.

t&uLevhs opiaioa is , that tujgiflg is se far from pre-

seating.
