Trying to decide how much time to spend on James I bio.

I'm working on an annotated edition of Rushworth. Much of the annotation work is in the form of biogrpahies of some 300 of the key figures; biographies that are in turn heavily annotated. My problem is with the "major" biographies, and in particular that of James VI and I. It's extensive--about 20000 words--but I can't decide how much more effort to put into the notes. I already have 35 notes, but it needs 110 more.

Arguments on the side of fewer notes:
-- Most of the material is very well known.
-- The notes tend to be viral. If I include a bio of Mary Queen of Scots, that's another 100+ notes.

Arguments on the side of more notes:
-- The notes are the real value. The text already exists on the web.
-- I have a lot of flexibility: I can write 100 words on Mary Q. of S., or 10000.
-- Many of the notes are already done, and new ones can probably be reused.

OK, I've convinced myself: Another couple of weekends on James I it is.

I would very much like to have a copy of Col. William Fleetwood's An unhappy view of the whole behaviour of my Lord Duke of Buckingham at the French Island of Rhee. Is anyone aware of a machine-readable version?

Alternatively, do you know (or suspect) who was the physician who contradicted Buckingham's account of the death toll in the evacuation of the Isle of Rhe? This physician is noticed in the Speech Without Borders of 1627/8.

Lord Herbert of Cherbury's Greek

I confess to having no Greek. Quotations in that language take me a long time to decipher.

In transcribing Lord Herbert of Cherbury's book on the Expedition to the Isle of Rhé, I came across a Greek phrase that I cannot but think is misprinted. It is (as close as I can come in html),
Αναγχη ουδε θεοι μαχονται.

The context is this page.

Can anyone provide a translation?

Military Emulation

I'm preparing an edition of Lord Herbert of Cherbury's history the expedition to Rhé. On page 28 of the Philoblion edition, Lord Herbert, in describing the first embarking of English troops, says "Sir John Burroughes, and Sir Alexander Brett, together with some veterans, did (though not without military emulation) first take land;".

What is "military emulation" in this context? Does it mean that they landed their companies in an orderly way, or does it describe something else?

In his discussion of the action near La Rochelle in 1627, Rushworth asserts that the Duke of Rohan wanted only to preserve "the edict of Two Peaces." I assume that Rushworth refers to the Edict of Nantes, but that edict, iirc, was in four parts. On what decree was Rohan insisting?

Arthur's Wilson's "History of James I"

A very curious omission in the network-available lexicon of Stuart England is Arthur Wilson's History of James I. It is the earliest comprehensive life (published around 1654, I think) and is quoted by all the commentators on the reign, but I can't find it anywhere on the web. A pointer would be appreciated.

Is anyone aware of an online copy of Sir Edward Walker's The Inconveniences that have attended the frequent Promotions to Titles, since King James came to the Crown ?
