The Editor by a note in p. 1 27. had referred to his Intro

Chapter held in July, (which is only his own Conjecture, for he doth not
quote the Authority of the French Regier for the Dare of it,) This Collector
hath given his Reaons, that this Chapter thus entred in p. 1 29. to be

The Collector had indeed inerted iich Notes upon the Deignations

Sir Edward Hull had been elected.

Now this Sir Edward was in z 1 _H 6.

'elected to the Stall of this Lord lzlloughby, ee P- 151, and he being

the ame, as if it had been aid (according to the Strictne of the Sta

ther took that cautious Manner of Expreon, which terminates in the

lime Concluion with the other, ince this Sir Edward had been men
tioned to be elected in the preceeding Year.

However this Entry in the

Regi/lr. Chart. is ome Proof of what hath been oberved of the Occaion

Tables, mentioned in the Introd. p. 2. 1 .

oberved in note r. that the Duke of Milan was not mentioned, and in

p. 1 83 note t. that this Duke died on 8 March in this Year, and that
this Lord Scales ucceeded in this Vacancy, and farther took Notice, that

the Chapter wherein this Lord was elected had been o1nitted. This Lord
is r named in this Black-Book on zed Apr. 7 E. 4. o that the Guee
of the Editor was right in the Subance of this Matter, but it was im
poible for him to have then determined, whether this Lord had been actuu

ally elected on or before this 27 Apr. 6 E. 4.

whereas the Black-Book had Dominus Audley, this French Regier hath

The Editor was o fortunate as to hit upon both

thee Amendments in p. 1 88 note m, and p. 1 89 note n.

1 5 E. 4. p. 1 9 1, Le Duc de Burgoine is added in the Reg. Chart.

Hitherto this Collector had been ucceiftll in adventuring his Talents
in guerng, but here he mu own his Want of Diligence, either through

Hae or Inadvertency z upon the lea Recollection it might have occur

red to his Memory, that this Duke of Burgundy was then a companion,
ince he had ecied the Omion of him in the precedent Year p. 1 88
note m, and ad made the lime Remark in the Year ubequent to this
very Entry p. r 97, and referred to the Time of his Death in p. I 98.

He thought this his free Confeon much more candid, than the cheap
Artice of reprinting an half Sheet, and oers it as an Earne of his
Facility in formally retracting any Miakes he hath unwarily committed.
The Occaion of this Overight Was by micomputing the Number of

thors midate it under the 7th Year, which was beore the Birth ofthis Duke
of jbrk. Thee Arms are upon the Plate of this Duke at Mndor, in the

Order in the 1 jth Year, yet the Collector hath not been enabled to de
termine the certain Time when he received his Inallation, but is as yet
induced to believe, that it was not till the zoth Year, for the wardrobe

Account will hew us that Mantles were then prepared for this Duke, and
or the Duke of Ferrara, and this Regier inorms us, that the latter was -

In P. 54. it eems to be implied that Sir William Chamherlain wasnot

inalled, becaue as it is oberved in the notes to the Black-Book p. r 7 5,
his Name doth not occurr in the Wndir-Tables, but then it mu be
remembred, that a Plate remains for him in the twelfth Stall on the So
vereigns Side, and that his Arms are urrounded with the Garter on his

Monument in the Church of Boyl Harling in Norfolk, o that it may yet

remain a Doubt, whether he received any actual Inallation.
In P. 56. The Conjecture that the Fea was held at Caen in 6 H. 5.
is conrmed by a M mter Cod. Norf. in

The Companions of military orders thought their Oaths in the Article of the

the 'no/I ad-'Uarztagious and honourable 'Terms, which interered with, or derogated

from the Tenour of the Statutes in that Point.

that Nature in this Dicoure, a later Inance ma] he added.

This Hiorian doubt/eft refers to the Oath which he tooh upon his Admian

into that Order of St. Stephen, which obliged him to defend la edia Apoo

P. 85. Where it is (hid that Ed. IV, and Charles Duke o Burgundy

were iled Freres dordre, by Reaon of the mutual Acccptance o their'

repective Orders, it might be added, that it was the uual Expreion

in uch Caes that uch were Freres dArmes, which may imply, that the
principal Deign o etecting thee Orders, was ot a Fraternity ofArms, and

to upport the great Maers in their military Undertakings.

P. 8 9. The Duke of Parma is aid to have relinquihed the Toton d'or

upon receiving the Order of St. Miohael, to which may be added that he
at length u-rrendered this latter Order alo.

This Offa-vie Farnee was a

Prince fully inructed in the Arts of War and Peace, and well vered in
the Intriegues of Courts: In his Youth he had acd the Emperor Charles

Duke of cum) created a Companion of the Golden Fleece r 546; but
by the Turn of Aairs being compelled to defend even Parma it elf,
again the Joint-Forces of the Pope and this Emperor, he urrendered

that Order, and being afterwards protected by the King of France, he re

ceived the Order of St. Michacl; but having joined With the Spaniards, he'
attempted to urrender the Enigns of it by a Surprize upon that King's
Embaador, as we nd by his Letter dared 1 5 58, printed in Rihier lettm

be added, that he was afterwards in 15 5 9 reored to the Order of the

P. 1 o z. It was hinted as a Subject t For a future Enquiry, whether the

Garter with its Motto was any Devie of the Crown before the Erection

of this military Order, as the Fuzil in Burgunay was the Badgc of the Fa

ther of that Duke who inituted the Tbion d'Or.

It may be added, that

in like Manner the Word F E R T was the Motto of the Dukcs of Savoy,

long before the Erection of the Military Order of the Collar, ince called
the Annunciade. The Oollectofs worthy Friend Mr. Murray, communi
cated the Wardrobe Account of the Prince of Wales in the z jtl] Year of
Ed. I, wherein is a Paage, which relates to two of the Saints, to whom

this Order Was afterwards dedicated, and therein is mention of iv garetteris'

embellihed With Silk and Silver, which the Editor thinks he may inert,

though he dares not attempt to ininuate that the Words ignify Garters as
Badges or Deviis. " Pro auibuilam vexillis de Armis Anglorum Saniiorum

In P. 1 1 6. And other Places, it hath been conjectured out Kings gave

Collars as their Livcry, or Device, which were varied in their Fahion, or

Figures by our Monarchs of dierent Lines. And as crveral Authorities

were produced to hew that Rich. II. gave that of the White Hair from
the 1 4th Year of his Reign, o it was hinted that Hen. IV, after his Ac.

The Earl of Kent was deprived of the Title of Duke of Surrey by Act of
Parliament, when Hen. IV eized the Crown, and this Earl oon afterwards

meetin

with ome Perons who had the Badgcs of this King, plucked

them (Zom their Necks, and alb the Badges of the Crecents from tile
Arms of ome others, aerting that Rich. II was then living. The Cre

cent WIS the Devii: of Peroy advanced to the Earldom of Northumherland

at the Coronation of this Hen. IV,_ in Recompence of the Aance he

had given him z for thus John Gower in his Poem tlecribes him
Hdc iih fortund praens Aguilonica luna,

Which by a Note in the Margin he explains Comes Northumbria: cujus

ignum luna crecens. Tiber. A. 4. p. r 5 2 in bibl. Cotton. Walngham, as
his Hiory is printed p. 404, under the I Hen. IV. thus words it " de

'5 hente: igna talia cum deei, &e. Detraxit iniper de hrachiir domicello
" rum igna Crecentium, V ahjecit," Now in the M Copy inter Cod. Nor
folc. in O: Arm. the Words are " detraxitgna Regis S. collaria" &e. And
in this Manner, the Editor conceives that Hiorian ecied the Form of
thee Badges, worn by the Partizans of Hen. IV, by decribing them to

be the Collars of S. S. miprinted cilicet, epecially ince he afterwards

patticularized the Badges of the Crecents.

Which probably may not igniy (as the late Gloary hath alo inter

had frequently begun the military Exercies, according to the Sene o this

The King granted this Charter by the Adrvice and Conent of his council,
upon a Kepreentation of the Knights of the Garter for the " Stablyhements
" (as it is worded) of the old Priwiledges of the Oice of Armes," ee Notes to
the Black-Book p. 44; . h. It is not introdurve of a new Right, but de

claratory of a precriptirzie Immunity incident to thoe Qicers in all ci-vilized

Realms, and which was originally intended by Wzzy of supplement to their Sa
laries " in Order to their decent and con-venient irving in bone/i tState without
f' Intpeachment."

As the Crown hereby exerted a rvoluntary Juridiion by Virtue of a legal

Prerogative, b this Charter it
in the Eye of the Law, incorporated the
Heralds in Repect to the itbje Matter of it, according to the Rejblution of

the Judges zr E. 4.

Let us now examine the

Immunity herein granted, and the Allowances theregf in the Courts of Julice.

Then as a particular Faqaour 'tis herein farther directed, that the bare Pro
duiilion of thee Letters Patents to the Treaorer, Barons, Commtzoners, or
Aeors hould be ucient Authority for their Dieharge, howerver it happens,

that thee Oicers ometimes recurred to the other Method herein al; precribed,
by proecuting V/rits direeied out of Chancery under the Great Seal for the Al

rated, and in Cae any Dilres had been made, the ame hould he releaed, and
that they hould not be moleed for any Sum towards the Aid, though a er
tzcate had or hould be made into the Exchequer. There may be probably e
'veral other uch Entries, though for arving this Expence, it was a frequent
Cuom for the King's Remembrancer to certiJ' this Exemption to the Colleilors
of the Taxes of the Places, wherein any of thee ocers had real or permal
Eates, whereof the Colleor hath erveral dinfl Certticates in his Cuodyr.
Thus thee officers were dicharged from the Payment of Impo/itions laid
by Parliament, till after the commencement of the Reign of King William,
when there was an expre Claue inerted in the Land-Tars, that no priviledged
Place or Peron, body politich or corporate hould be exempted from that A

ticular Impo/ition only: This 'very Claue eems rongly to imply, that in

Cae the ame had been omitted out of this A, this Exemption would hathe
been evalid, notwithanding the mo general I/Vords contained in that Law.

And it may be hoped that this Freedom from Impos continues in as legal Force,
as it e-ver did, in all other Inances, wherein the ame is not expreily tahen

it is not for us to enquire, what it is that induces God to permit, or grant the
oneor the other : all that can he armed here, is that God only is the Author of
all Viory and Properity : And that Prayers, and Humility, are the only pro
bable Means of obtaining them. Let us cry up to Heaven (ays the inpired
V/riter) and our God will have Mercy upon us. Let us ay unto the Lord, thine
is the Power, thine is the Kingdom. The Almighty God is our Strength, and hath
given us the Itiiory over our Enemies. Let the Nations know that there is none

other thatighteth for us, but only thou, O God. O Lord God we know not what
we ought to do, therefore lift we up our Eyes unto thee le we peri/h. Let the
Nations know, that it is God who redeemet-h and delivereth Irael.

gave the Name of the Blew Garter. Unto this alb, to prevent an bad Con
fruion being put upon any Thing not done with an ill Deign, and or a Signal

of their Sincerizy and Loyalty, he ordered a Motto in French Wbrds to be

wrought round the Garter, in Letters of Gold, or ome other coly Manner :
And to be wore over one of their Shoulders, or the Leg, and ometimes on their

Thumb. And he commanded the Knights to oberve with olemn Rites and

Turks hadfled to him) in a royal Manner and dimi-d him, enriched with many
PreZ-nts andfull of Satisfaction. In the twelfth Tear of his Reign reiding in the
Tower, or rather the Cale of London, he cauid Jus to be appointed and pro

the Count of St. Paul, the Heir of the Duke of Holland; and one of
the Sons of the Count of Auria : The King's Table during this Time was
open to all Gentlemen, and all having been treated according to their
Dignity, the Foreigners being more particularly rewarded according to their
Merits, returned Home rwith Glory. For this King was (as the Hio

E N RY the Fifth was in the Tear of our Lord, 1 41 2, on the 9th Day

H of April crowned at Weminer. Afterwards like a Peron reclaim

ed, throwing oentirely all the Vices of his former Life, howherver occaioned by

his looe Companions, he applyed his Mind to the State of his Kingdom, that is (as
he himelf explained it) to the Beauty of I/ertue and Glory only.

Soonafter be

ginning with an A ofingular Piety, he removed the Corps of his noble Prede
ceor Richard, which till then, had been interred after a Manner unitting his

royal Dignity, to Weminer, and there at la laid it by his dearel ween Anne,
where he appointedfour I/l/Zix-Tapers to burn perpetual] , adding al' magniicent
Obequies to be celebrated V/eekly, in which, on the Marrow after Mal' was

ended, eleven Shillings and eight Pence were to be diributed to the Poor, Man

b Man, and alb others annuall , in which twenty Pounds were to be ditri
ted in like Manner.
Afterwards being deirous to increae continually, and improve the great
Endowments both of his Mind and Body, after he had abundantl advied

thereon, he began al/b in a proper Seaon to al? and aert in Earne his Right
to France, being ready either to receive it,
quietly urrendered to him, or
to reduce it by the Sword.

Hence did this invincible Prince thrice enter France. Fir with a well dieip
lined Army, he ies croi the Sea, beieges and takes Tlbwns and commits them to
the Cuody' of his Men. 'Tis wonderful here, how Piety exalted human Strength,

Et
At the Beginning of the
I/e-pers, the Sovereign, who was exceedingly'
turn'd to Piety, when he aw a Thing omitted by his companions of the Or
der, which (in his Opinion) ought in the
Place to be done, he could bear

no longer, but having admonihed them on the Spot, he would lead the Why to
their doing it from that Time. For at their Entry into the choir, and going
to their Stalls there, theyiemed not to have given ufficient Reverence to God

and the Altar. Now John Duke of Bedfiord remembred it had been decreed
in the chapter, which he had held in the 'I 6th Tear of this invincible Prince
in his Abnce, That all of this Order hould always at their going in, and

coming out, iand likewie? at their decending the Steps, bow themelves, and

do Reverence to the King, preent, or in his Abence, to the King's Stall,

thereby to hew that he was their Sovereign, and they owed him all Kind of
Subjeon and Obedience. But the

divine King, declared it was much

more rational and itting, That they hould

bow and pay due Honour to the

King, who is truly upreme and almighty, the Lord God, and to his e Altar, as
was pracii-d by Ecclea/licks, and then whatever Honour they owed to him,

they might alo dicharge, paying their Defe-rence to him or his Stall (as they
believed they ought.) This his Will inpired no doubt from Heaven, he caued to
be immediately declared to the Knights companions that iit in the Stalls on the

Right Hand by the Dean, and to thoe on the Left by the Regier of the Order. They
exceedingly approved this Direilion, and were at their next going out oftheir
Stalls very careful to ac? according to it.

at Wynclcor, having Sir John Aheley to join with him.

_ 'Ihe Sovereign was abent, being infent on the Solemnity of his Coronation and

other weighty Aairs of the Kingdom.

The other Knights of this mo excellent Order were not there, being either
our-ed by the King's Proteon, or probably hindered by other Aizirs.

and hid' Saints, all the Statutes of this preent Order, as contained in a Boole

lately ent to us and accepted by us, in the lime Manner and as

every of

the Articles had been here recited to us.

King Philip deired to be releaed only in two Particulars out of all that
were contained in the Statutes. Of which the
was that the Ue of the
Collar and of the other Enigns hould be left to his own Pleaure, the other
was, that he hould not be forced to he himelf preent in future Chapters', which
the Sovereign fully dipened with. Then htng thoe Things on which he
had made his Oath, and taking a Pen from the Prelate with his own wri

tingigned that Oath which he had too/e, and thus igned delivered it to the

Sovereign.

The Sovereign receiving a Garter from the Herald put it about

the Kings left Leg, which the Prince [of Wales] axed or buchled, and then

in a hack Room putting o the Gold Gown which he wore, he inveed him

Joy and Ii-anort, than can be told or exprefd; and

Joy, it would, above all others which ever aroZ on the lihe or not much dif
ferent Occaion, have doubtles (as it begun it) continued the mo abundant
as well as immoveable.

But this one Misfortune h alley/ed the Fulne' of the

Joy conceived, or rather annihilated it, That one might doubt, whether (as
we were indeed bound) we ought to rejoice more for the Birth of the
Child, or mourn for the Death of the Mother. Either of them indeed aZ-Hed
