Ver. 6. He that ſmote the people in wrath, &c.] This is the Tyrants Epitaph:Aurel. Victor. there is at their death a general joy, as was when the world was well rid of Tiberius, Caligula, Nero, Heliogabalus, &c. When Domitian dyed, the Senate decreed that his name ſhould be razed, that all his Acts ſhould be reſcinded, and his memorial aboliſhed quite for ever. When Caligula was cut off, his monies were all melted by the decree of the Senate▪ like as King Richard the thirds cognizance,Speed the white Bore was torn from every ſign, that his memory might periſh.
