PREFACE 20. Ff HE

Ree ye ee
O W difficule a thing it is to produce Form out of Things
fhapelef> and deformed, and to prefcribe Limits to Things confufed,
there is none but may eafily perceive, if he fhall take buc a
flight View of the Chaos-like Contemperation of Things, not
only diverfe, but repugnant in Nature, hitherto concorpo-
rated in the generous Profeffion of Heraldry: As the Forms of
the pure Cele/tial Bodies, mix’d with grofs Terre/trials ;Earthly Animals, with Watery;
Savage Beafts, with Tame; Whole-footed Beafts, with Divided ; Reptiles, with Things
Greffible; Fowls of Prey, with Home-bred; thefe again, with River-Fowls ;Airy In-
feéta, with Earthly ;alfo Things Natural, with Artificial ;Arts Liberal, with Me-
chanical; Military, with Ruftical; and Rujtick with Gvil. Which confufed Mix-
ture hath not a little difcouraged many Perfons ( otherwife well affected to the
Study of Armory) and impaired the Eftimation of the Profeffion. For Redrefs
whereof myfelf (tho’ unableft of many )have done my Beft, in this my Di/-
play.of Heraldry, to diffolve this deformed Lump, diftributing and digefting each
Particular thereof into his peculiar Rank; wherein, albeit the Iflue of my En-
terprize be not anfwerable to the Height of my Defires, yet do I aflure my
felf my Labour herein will not be altogether fruitlels; forafmuch as hereby
1 have broken the Ice, and made Way to fome After-comers of greater Gifts
and riper Judgment, that they may give a fairer Body to this my delineated
rough Draught, or Shadow of a/new framed Method. For if Men of greateft
Skill have failed to give abfolute Form to their Works, notwithf{tanding their
beft Endeavours, with little Reafon may fuch Perfe@tion be expected from me,
whofe Talent is fo fmall, as that I am forced to build wholly upon other Men's
Foundations; and therefore may be thought to have undertaken an idle Task,
in writing of Things formerly handled and publifhed by Perfons of more Suf-
ficiency and greater Judgment. Notwithftanding, who knoweth nor, that asevery
Man hath his proper Conceit and Invention, fo hath he his feveral Drift and
Purpofe, fo as divers Men writing of one felf Argument, do handle the fame di-
_verlly ? Which being fo, whar letteth chat every of us, writing ina diverfe kind,
; a2 may

 Mr. Guillim’s Preface to the Reader.
may not without Offence to other, ufe our utmoft Endeavours to give unto
this _erft unfhapely and difproportionable Profeffion of Heraldry, a true Symme-
tria and proportionable Correfpondence of each Part to other? Inafmuch (ifI
be not deceived )both they and myfelf do all aim at one Mark, which is fo to
adorn and beautify this Science, as that it being purged from her wonted Defor-
mities, may become more plaufible to many, and be favourably entertained of
all ;which could not be otherwife better effected, than by diffolving of this
Chaos-like, or confufed Lump, and diffevering of each Particular thereof from
other, and difpofing them under their peculiar Heads, which is the full Scope
of thefe my Travails. Now to the End I might the better acccomplith this Tash,
after I had carefully collected the chief Grounds, Principles, Rules, and Obfervations
that Ger. Leigh, Bofwell, Ferne, Bara, Chaffaneus, and other beft approved Au-
thors in their feveral Works have written touching the Rudiments and firft Principles
of Armory, then did I ferioufly bethink myfelf for the orderly Diftribution of
thofe their difperfed Notes and Objervations fo by me colleéted, and digefting of
them into fome Form of Method, or atthe leaft into-fome Methodical- Refemblance,
wherein, I hope, I have in fome Sort accomplifhed my Defire, and have, for
thy better Underftanding and Apprehenfion ( Gentle Reader)firft diftributed this
Work into Seétious, and thofe into Chapters, briefly fhewing their feveral Subftances
and orderly Connexions; and throughout the Whole I have begun with the
Genus of each Kind, and fevered them into their Species, which alfo are fubdi-
vided into Individua’s, annexing particular Rules to each feveral Sort. More-
over, I have added Definitions, Divifions, and Etymologies of the Artificial Terms
peculiarly pertaining to this Art, beftowed the chief Grounds, Principles, Rules,
and Obfervations under their proper Heads, and manifefted their Ufe by Exam-
ples of {pecial Choice, whereby they receive not only Warrant, but alfo lively
Senfe and Vigour, in Default whereof they would become deftitute of all Force,
according to that faying of Aretius, Pracepta, quantumyis bona ¢ concinna, mortua
funt, nifi ipfe Auditor varis exemplis ea reprefentat. .Finally, to the end that nothing
fhould be wanting thar might give thee full Contentment, I have prefix’d be-
fore every Se&tion an Analogical ‘Table, briefly comprehending the Subftance of
each fubfequent Seétion, and that with fuch Coherence, that each of the faid Ta-
bles anfwereth in a Relative Refpect of the one of them to the other; fo as all
of them do jump together in an univerlal Coherence, as by their particular Re-
ferences doth manifeltly appear; whereby 1 have brought to pafs (though with
long and difficult Labour) that in this my Dijfplay of Heraldry, thou mayeft
eafily find (beftowed according to Order )whatloever thou defireft concerning
the Principles of this Profefion: So that thou in fhort Time, and with much
Eafe, mayeft reap not only a profitable Gleaning, but a plentiful Harve/t of
this my long and painful Lucubrations. Farewel.

not only of the lefler Nobility, and of late Ages,
as Cammel, who conformable thereto bare a Ca-

Honour and Antiquity, .as Hugh Lupus, firlt
Earl of Chefter, who bare a Wolf’s Head; and
others whofe Coats alfo were conferential to the
fame.» Some alfo among us have, as we may fup-
pofe, receiv’d Names from Birds. Thus the anci-
ent Family of Arundel, who accordingly bare fix
Swallows ; and fo Cockaine whofe Arms are three .
Cocks; with Sheldon, whofe Coat is three Shell-,
Drakes, ¢c. Others may be conceiv’d ‘to take
Name from Fifhes, as the Family of Herring,
who bare three Herrings; and Lucy who bare
three Lucies ; with the Family of Sprat, whofe
Arms are three Sprats, ec. Some alfo have
taken their Names from Plants or Vegetables;
thus did Sheffeild, whofe Defcendant (iow Duke
of Buckingham) from him bears three Wheat-
Sheaves, or a Field of Sheaves ; as alfo the Family
of Oak, whofe Arms are three Acorns flipp’d, cc.
Some alfo from fuch Pofts or Places of Honour
Houfe of the Butlers, who in their Arms give
three covered Cups : Some from their extraordi-

may be fuppofed the Family of Sweeting, whofe
Arms are three treble Violins: Others from In-

Cannons or Culvering-pieces ; and Staple, whofe
Arms are three Staples 5 with many others too te-

which, as I faid before, we are not in Affairs of

both Bezants and Martlets found their firft ufe
there ;and probably by the Wars with France
and the Turks, were introduced great Numbers
of Fleurs de Lys, Crefcents and Letters, I thall

Shovel, who had granted to him a Cheveron be-

in bafe, indicating two great Vi&ories over the
French, and one over the Turks.

firft taken up and put in Ufe, was, that they

might ferve for Notes and Marks to difting uifh

beareth, whether he be Friend or Enemy: And

“ Form of Bearing, it hath been holden of fome
© Writers, a Matter doubtful, whether one

© be ancient and honourable : Sir ohn Ferne af-
©firmeth fuch Bearing to be falfe Arms, and
not worth the receiving, except in fome fpe-
* cial Cafes ; being perhaps thereunto induced,
© becaufe it was reckoned among the Romans a
“Thing reproachful to bear a naked Shield
“without any Portraiture, in regard it was an
“ufual Thing with Men of Valour and Cou-

“ancient, grounding his Affertion (if I be not
“deceived) upon 1 Kings x. 16. where it is
*faid, that King Solomon made two hundred

But here I muft take notice, that the Blazon of
the aforefaid Coat agrees not with Gwillim’s Des
fcription of the Ordinary, which (fays he) ever-
more contains the Half of the Pale, and there-
fore the fixth Part ot the Field; now you fee
the Field here is divided into feven equal Parts,
therefore one of thofe Seven which makes one
of thefe Palets, confequently cannot contain a
fixth Part ;and an equal Divifion in Coats of
this Kind, is (I think) always required in He-
raldry ;that is, that Part which is to reprefent
Part of the Field, muft contain as much as the
Charge: And how we fhall avoid this common
Error, I know not; unlefs we break the Rule,
and fay by our Paletsasthe French fay by their
Faces when they have more than can properly
ftand, that is, more than One, viz. That they
are little One’s. Fora Diminutive of it we have
none but the Endorfe, which Guwillim, out of
Leigh and Ferre, informs us, is never ufed, but
when a Pale is betwixt two of them, or one of
them betwixt two Coats; and to blazon it
Paly of feven Pieces would (in my Mind) be
worfe: For did Heraldry admit the Fields to
be divided or parted into odd Parts, as I think
it doth not, we fhould never know when the
Lines are to reprefent a Charge, or Partition
only.

with the general and particular Rules in their

claim Precedencie to his Mafter the King of Swe-

true Succeflour of the Gothi/h Kings, who ex-
acted Tribute even from the Emperours and Kines
of France. Both Denmark and Sweden, claim
the Precedencie from the King of Pele, as an Ele-
Give and Limited Monarch : And in the Cere-

Of the Precedency of the Electors and the Princes of the Empire.
MONGST the Princes of the
Empire, the EleGors are {till
preferred : Which Electoral
Colledge ( though faid to be
Founded by the Emperour
Otho the III, and Pope Gregory
the V. anno 997.) yet it is
more probable, that the faid Conftitution arofe
from the great Difficulties under which the Em-
pyre was Sunk, after the Death of Frederick the II.
Amongft the Elettors, the Ecclefiafticks are pre-
ferred to the Laicks.
The Ecclefiaftick Ele@ors, are, the Arch-bi-
fhops of Mentz, Cullen, and Treves, whofe Pre-
cedency amongft themfelves was firft Determined
by Charles the IV. So as that the Bifhop of
of Treves was to fit juft over againft the Em-
perour; The Bithop of Mentz, was to take
place in all his own Dyocie, and in all Germany +
Whereas the Arch-bifhop of Cullen, was to take
_ place in all his own Dyocie, and in Italy, and
France. And of old in the Eledtion of the Em-
perour, the Bithop of Mentz was preferred as
Arch-chancellour of Germany : The Arch-bifhop
if
of Treves as Arch-chancellour of France: The
Arch-bifhop of Cullen as Arch-chancellour of
Italy 3 Which Order was confirmed by Frede-
rick the Firft, anno 1158.
The Secular Electors are Ranked thus, by the
Golden-bull of Charles the IV.
The Duke of Saxony carries the Sword, im:
mediately in all Proceffions before the Emperour :
The Count-Palatin the Imperial Aple, walking on
the Emperours Right hand ; The Marquefs of
Brandenburg the Scepter, on the Left hand; And
the King of Bobemia was to follow him imme-
diately. But when they fit at any Solemnity,
by the fame Bull, The King of Bobemia (being
a Crowned-head) was to fit firft, upon the Em-
perours Right hand, after the King of the Ro-
mans, and the Arch-bifhops of Mentz and Cullen :
And upon the Left, after the Ecclefiaftick Ele-
ors, the Duke of Saxony had the firft place,
and the Marquefs of Brandenburg the fecond,
But yet I find Bewtherus, and other German Law-
yers, contend from old Manufcripts, That at firft
Brandenburg had the Precedency from the Ele-
ors, Palatin, and Saxony.

The Duke of Bavaria did of old Contend with
the Duke of Saxony, in anno 1521. and their
Debates continued by Proteftations for many
Years; And with the EleGtor Palatin, till the
Emperour Lewis the IV. ordained the Palatin and
Bavaria to preceed one another alternately:
Though fince the late Warres of Germany, the
Ele@or Palatin having Ufurped the Crown of
Bobemia, the Duke of Bavaria was made the
firft Elector in his place, the Elector Palatin be-
ing now the laft of the Electors. é The eldeft Sons of the EleGors preceed all the

pires ;Thofe of Ferufalem claiming preference,
becaufe the chief Priefthood was once fettled
there ;Thofe of Antioch claiming Precedency,
becaufe Antioch was the firft Seat of Chriftianity,
as is clear by the 11. Chapter of the 4és ; And
thofe of Alexandria, pretending that they were
equal.to the Roman Patriarch, at leaft, becaufe

The Roman Patriarch was by Phocas the Em-
perour raifed above all the reft, in the year 606.
fince which time they have raifed themfelves by
feveral Degrees to the Papacy, though it cannot
be denyed but even before that time, the Bifhops
of Rome had the firft Seat in all Councils, as 1s

contentioufly Debate this Precedency with Adrian
the IV, fince which time it hath been varioufly
acquiefced in by Popes and Emperours. And
though the Legats be Reprefentatives of the Popes, _
yet Thuan tells us, lib. 98. That the Learned
Briffonius Prefident of the Parliament of Paris,
would not fuffer the Popes Legat to preceed him.
And at the Coronation of Charles the V, the -
Popes Legat was denyed the Precedency from
the Electors.
The Cardinals have Debated for Precedency
with the Patriarchs, though by the Novela, 132.

And Panormit. in cap, antiqua X de privileg. &

Quintus, that Pope, hath raifed the Cardinals
to an equal Degree with Kings, and if Kings be
prefent at Table, or other Solemnities with Car-
dinals, If there be but one King, he is to fit after
the firft Cardinal Bifhop, and if there be moe

holds amongft Popifh Princes, yet the Authour
of Les Memoirs des Ambaffadeurs does Obferve,
That Leicefter, Grotius, and the other Ambaf-
fadours of PROTES TANT Princes never
yeelded Precedency to Cardinals, till Lockbare
Ambafladour from Crommel yeelded it to Cardi-

ought to have no Precedency ; Yet that being
exprefly Debated, in Anno 1608. in the cafe of

that the very right of Blood tranfmitted the Pre.

may hold where the apparent Heir fought to be
Invefted or Infeft, and his not being Entered nor
Infeft was not his Fault; Yet if he did not feck
to enter, he ought not to have the Precedency :

It may be alleaged that the Daughter of the QUESTION. XVI

ter, and this Ladies Father was never an Harl,
nor are We to confider futur Honours in the

ing a Lordthough an Harles Son, would not have

fhould the Lords Daughter from the Earles

Lords Father: And I find by the Heraulds Re-
cords in England, that Sir Thomas Lees Daughter
got a Warrand from the King, to take place as a
Lords Daughter, her Father having died before
his Father the Lord Lee, which proves that fhe
could not have taken place otherwife, and this is
commonly receiv’d in England. But yet it may
be Debateds: That the Daughter of that Lord
{hould have the Precedency, fince her Father
would have been an elder Earl ; And though the
could. not take place during her Grand-fathers
time who was the elder Harl, yet per jus accref-
cendi,, and the right of Reprefentation, fhe comes
after her Grand-fathers death, to be the Daughter
of the elder Earl, for Honour is but a part of
Succeffion ; and therefore as fhe might have right
to her Fathers Succeflion, if fhe have not Bro-
thers, fhe may by the fame reafon have Right to

and that fhe could not take the fame place as his

Reafon' why fhe comes to a.higher Degree of
Precedency by the Death of her Grand-father is,
becaufe by the right of Reprefentation ‘her Fa-

And to thew, that this Argument, wis, -Your

Whether do Natural Childien Born before a Law-

preferred to the Children Born in a Lawful
Marriage, ifthey be Legitimated thereafter 2
Tu1s cafe did exiftin a moft illuftruous in-
ftance in Scotland + For King Robert the fecond
having begota Son upon Elisabeth Mure, he there-
after Married Eupbam Daughter to the Earl of
Roffz,and had by her the Earles of Stratbern, and
Athol, after which having married the faid Eli-
sabeth Mure, that Marriage did Ligitimate her
Children, and by A& of Parliament, preferred
to the Children Born in the Lawful Marriage.
The Reafons pro and contra, urged in that Debate
at that time are now unknown ; But the Areu-
ments which might have been urged in the cafe,
are, 1° That a Son fo Legitimated would Seclude
without all Controverfie all Uncles, and other
Agnats, Therefore by the fame he fhould Seclude the Mayor, &c. The queftion may be moved

cular Refpect upon Marriage and its facred Cha-
racter, and to invite Men to make Satisfaction for
the wrong they have done. 3° By the Roman
Law thofe that were born in Captivity were not
capable of Succeilion, but how foon they were
Ranfomed and had returned, they were reftored
to the Right of
primo-genitor, and preferred therein
to thofe who were thereafter born at Rome: And
therefore fince fuch was the Force even of a
Civil and unreafonable Fiction, much more ought
greater Force to be allowed to Legitimation,
which is founded upon fo Juft and Pious Prin-
ciples. 4° Quo-ad the Right of Succeflion, the
time of the Defunéts death to whom he is to fuc-
ceed, does, regulat the quality of the Succeffion:
And therefore fince the Perfon legitimated was
capable of the Succeflion the time the Defun&
died, and was then likewife the eldeft, he ought
to Succeed as eldeft, whatever his Condition
was the time of his Birth, L. poft Confanguineos

QUESTION XX.
Whether ought the Order of the Nomination to
be Obferved in Commiffions, where the Perfons
are Ranked otherwayes then can be confiftent
with the Kings former éxprefs Grants 2
AN inftance of this may be given in this cafe,
viz. The Mayor or Provoft of a City being Pa-
tron of a Colledge within their own Town, His
Majeity grants a Commiflion for vifiting that Col-
ledge, wherein he names firft the Bifhop, then
that the Bifhops Nomination proceeded only from
the Ordinary Cuftom of naming Ecclefiafticks firft.
As alfo, If in a Commiflion of Jufticiary,
three Lords of the Seflion being named, and the
youngeft of the three being firft named in the
Commiflion, It may be doubted, whether the Se-
niority formerly acquired in the Seffion ought to
be Obferved, and give Precedency in Sitting and
Voting 5 or if they ought to Sit and Vote, ac-
cording as they are named in the Commiflion :
And it may be alledged that the Seniority in the
Seflion ought to be Refpetted, there being a right
of Precedency thereby acquired, which cannot
be prejudged by a Nomination, which might
have proceeded upon miftake; fince it is not to
be prefumed that His Maje/ly would Degrade any
whom He continued otherwife in fo eminent a
Dignity : And as if two Brothers were named
in a Commiffion, the elder would fit and vote
firft, though the younger were firft named, that
inverfion being prefumed to proceed from Errour;
fo ought the fame to be obferved amongft Judges
who are in effeé Brothers. Some likewife ufe

of Nomination, and think that if the Perfons
Commiflionated be oft named after the fame Or-

Thus the large Armies of Horfe, which fup

Of Captains General, Marfhals,
and other Chief Commanders.
N Army may be provided, a Navy rigged,
A manned, and equipped, but the chief and
moft difficult Tafk is to find a Generalijfimo
worthy of Command, one upon whofe Conduc&
the Hope of the War depends; I meat not in
the Force of his Perfon, but in his Knowledge
in Military Affairs, in his Magnanimity, which
comprehends the four Cardinal Virtues, viz.
Prudence, Juftice, Temperance, and Fortitude;
in his Authority, and in his Difpofition to en-
gage the Affections of his Soldiers, without
which they will hardly be brought to do him
Honour, nor their King and Country good Ser-
vice, as might be demonftrated by feveral Ex-
amples, were it convenient.
It behoveth a General, not only to Conduct
his Army, but carefully to provide for them
Provifions as well as Ammunition, and to fhew
himfelf prudent, patient, cautious, and liberal
unto them, endeavouring to gain by Love what
he might command from them by Power. And
this made Homer to call Agamemnon a Paffor of
People, becaufe he carefully looked after the
Safety of his Army. Theodofius the Emperor
did not command the meaneft of his Soldiers to
do any thing, but that he himfelf would fome-
times do. And Antonius did fometimes march
on foot, and carry in his Hand the general Kin-
fign of the Army, which was very ponderous,
to fhew that his Soldiers fhould not refufe to un-
dergo any Labour that fhould be required from
them.
Amongft the many good Properties required
in a General, nothing is more commendable
than Liberality ; and on the contrary, Covet-
oufnefs as much deteftiblé: for hard it is to at-
tend the Affairs of War, and be overmuch in
love with Money. Yet that Commander, who
with Honour and good Confcience can attain’ to
Wealth, is not to be difliked 5 for thereby he
may upon an emetgent Occafion” fupply the
Wants of a neceffitated Army. And that Gene-
ral is moft to be efteemed, who (as a Soldier)
knoweth how to offend his Enemy, to govern
_ his own Forces, patiently to fuffer Want, and
to endure Labour, Heat, and Cold: For fome-
times it is found, that he who hath Authority
to command, wanteth another to command him,
for want of true Knowledge of thofe things that
Mivrirary.
belong unto his Office; for it is more difficult
for a General or Commander to know what be-
longeth unto him, than to execute the Office
of that Place, feeing that Skill muft precede
Aion, and Ufe go before Commandment.
It is expedient for all Princes and Command-
ers to be well read in Hiftories, and principally
thofe that concern the Actions of their Anceftors;
ward the Third ( when he made War againft
Robert the Second, King of Scots) to order a
certain Monk to attend him in that Expedition;
to write down all the Actions ofthat Enterprize.
Mabomet the Second, Emperor of the Turks;
endeavoured much to know the Hiftories of his
Predeceffors, and gave liberally unto one Fobn
Maria of Vinzenza, to write the Victories he
obtained againft Uffancaffan, King of Perfia.
Much more Praife and Honour is due unto thofé
Commanders, that by long Service, and due
degrees of War, have deferved the Titles apper-
taining unto Arms, and bear about them the
Scars and Marks of true Valour.
A General of Horfe (according to Plato)
ought to be made by the Confent of the whole
Army. The Praefeéi, or great Commanders,
were elected by thofe Soldiers that bare Targets ¢
The Tribuni Militum had their Advancement by
the Voice of Men at Arms; and other Captains
or Commanders ofa lower Quality were chofen
by the Chief General. And that Perfom that in
Service was moft painful, in Actions moft in-
duftrious, in Perils moft refolute, in Counfel
moft provident, and in Execution moft quick,
was by the Chieftains elected for their Km-
peror. :

in Ecclefiaftical Caufes, being anointed with Oil
as the Priefts, and afterwards the Kings of I/rael
were 5 which fignifies his Perfon to be both Sa-
cred and Spiritual. And therefore at the Corona-
tion hath put upon him a Prieft’s Garment, cal-
led the Dalnatica, or Colobium, and other fuch
Vefts. And before the Reformation, the King,
as a Spiritual Perfon, received the Sacrament in
both kinds. He is capable of holding Tithes ; all
Eixtra-Parochial Tithes, fome Proxies, and other
Spiritual Profits belong to the King.
The Ceremonies at the Coronation of the King
are many, and with us in England more than in
many other Countries: As the Anointing with
Oil, which is proved by Mr. Selden to be of
above one thoufand Years ftanding; the Crown

a Ring to fignifie his Faithfulnefs ;a Bracelet for

and a Diadem triumphant to blazon his Glory.
It was the faying of Thomas Becket, Archbifhop
of Canterbury, Inunguntur Reges in Capite, eti-
am pectore &» brachiis, quod fignificat gloriam,
fanttitatem & fortitudinem. Kings are Anointed
on the Head to fignifie their Glory, on the
Breaft to emblematize their San@ity, and on
their Arms to declare their Power.
He is crowned with an Imperial Crown, the
Crown fet on his Head by the Archbifhop of Can-

it is in Spain to Toledo, in France to Rheims, and
in Sweden to Upfalia,
But this Imperial Crown hath not been long in

Ladies in Reputation.
THe Wife or Widow of the Son and Heir of Titles
a Duke or Earl in the Life-time of his F.ather, is Noble
a Lady by Courtefie of Speech and Honour, and is one
taketh Place according as in ancient Time hath Ladies
been permitted by the Sovereign Prince, and al-
lowance of the Heralds; but in legal Proceedings
they are not privileged, nor to be named accord-
ing to fuch Names of Dignity. But the King may
at his Pleafure create fuch Men, in the Life of
their Anceftors, unto Degrees of Lord’s of his
Parliament, and then the Law is otherwife.
Ifa Noble Woman of Spain come into this
Realm by fafe Condué, or otherwife, though in
the Letters of fafe Condu& by the King the be
ftiled by fuch her Sovereign ‘Title; yet in the
King’s Courts of Juftice the fhall not be named
by fuch Title, though in common Speech fhe is
ftiled a Lady,
An Englifo Woman born doth take to her Hus-
band a French or Spanifh Duke, though he be
made a Denizen, yet fhe fhall not bear his Title ;
of Dignity in Legal Proceedings,
,
Women.
LF3
A German Woman is married to a Peer of the
Realm, and unlefs the be made a Denizen,
fhe
cannot lawfully claim the Privileges or Titles of
her Husband, no more than fhe can to have Dower
or Jointure from him.
An Englifh Woman doth take to her Hufband
an Irifh Karl 5 or if a Lord of Scotland (though
he bea Poftnatus) take an Englifb Woman to his
Wife, their Wives {hall not participate of their
Husbands Titles or Dignity.
But ifthe King do create one of his Subjects
of Scotland or Ireland a Pear of this Realm, then
fhall he and his Wife enjoy all the Privileges ofa
Nobleman. But if an Englifh Man by the Empe-
ror be made an Earl of the Empire, his Wife
fhall not bear that Title of Honour.
All the Daughters of Dukes, Marquiffes, and
Earls are by the ancient Cuftom of the Realm
filed Ladies, and have Precedency according to
the Degrees of their Parents; And of this Cu-
ftom the Laws do take notice, and give allowance
for Honour and Decency: But neverthele in
the King’s Courts of Jultice they bear not thofe
of Honour, no more than'the Sons of fuch
Perfons may do : So in this Point the Law
way, and the Honour and Courtefie of
another.
And as a Civilian in like Cafe
faith, Aliud eft jus, & aliud privilegium 3 Never-
thelefs the Books of our Law do make mention
thereof, and allow of it as a Courtefie, though
not as a Law,
Thus much of Women: If I have been too
large upon this Subject, I crave their Pardons ;
and if two fhort, I with I had been more large
for their Honour: Yet let them compare their
Conditions with that of their Neighbouring Na-
tions, and ’tis believed they have reafon to judge
themfelves the happieft Women in the World ;
but Nemo fua forte contentus.

The Reafon (faith a very Learned Lawyer) why Peers of the Realm, are to proceed without Corporal Oath, is, becaufe the
Law fuppofeth them of fuch Integrity, as they will do for Juftice, that others are compell’d to by their Oaths. Lord Coventry
in his Speech to the Peers, at the Arraignment of Mervin Lord Audley, Earl of Caftlehaven.
Concerning this Priviledge of giving a Verdi& upon Honour, and not upon Oath, another Lawyer {peaks thus: You fee the
i great Regard the Law hath to the Word of a Peer of the Realm, when he fpeaketh upon his Honour ; even in a Cale concern.
| ing the Life of Man, and that of aPeer ; and therefore ought they much more to keep their Words, and Promifes in fmaller
| Matters, when they engage their Honour for a faft Caufe, or Confideration. Grompton’s Courts, fol 13. a.
| Though upon the Trial of a Peer, the Lords of Parliament fhall not Swear, yet it hath been Adjudged, that they muft anfwer
| upon Oath, and not upon Honour only, in all Courts as Defendants, as it appears in the Earl of Lincoln's Cafe, wherein it was
| moved, whereas Sir Henry Fines, Knight, had exhibited his Bill in the Star-chamber, againft the Harl of Lincolz, for divers Riots
| and Mifdemeanors, and the Earl of Lincoln had taken Commiffion forth, to put in his Anfwer upon Oath, in the Country, and
| he offered before them his Anfwer upon his Honour, but would not put it upon Oath, becaufe he wasa Peer of the Realm 3
| which Matter being now reported by the Commiffioners, it was now moved by the King’s Sollicitor, to have the Refolution of
the Judges: And it was held by all the Juftices of both Benches, and all the Barons of the Exchequer, (in the prefence ofa very
great Affembly, of the Lords, and divers others of the Privy-Councilin the Star-chamber,) that the Lords, in Cafes Criminal,
(efpecially where the King is Party) ought to put in their Anfwer upon Oath: And inall Cafes, where they are to be Witnefles
betwixt Party and Party, they ought to be Sworn: The Lord Keeper faid, Quod in Fudicio non creditur nifé Furatis, and that he
caufed Precedents to be fearched, and had found divers, fince the firft of Queen Z/iz. wherein Peers of the Realm being Implead-
| éd in Chancery, or Star-chamber, or Court of Wards, have been always Sworn: And he faid, when a Peer affirms any thing,
which is not true, upon his Honour, there is not any Remedy ; but if he affirms that which is falfe, upon his Oath, there is Re-
medy, by the Statute of 5 Eliz. c. 9. againft Perjury ;wherefore they are refolv'd, that the Earl of Lincoln ought to. be Sworn ;
and of the fame Opinion were all the Lords and Counfellors, which they delivered Seriazim, null Contradicente, becaufe it is 4.
vamentum Purgationis, and not Promifionis: And Princes are {worn to all their Leagues and Confederacies, which is called
Furamen=
tum Confirmationis ;neitheris it any Diminution to the faid Earl’s Honour, to be Sworn about that, which he would not, fhould
be putupon his Honour. Cro. Gar. 64, Hutton’s Reports, 87. and Sir Wiliam Jones's Reports, 152. The Earl of Lincoln's Gafe in the
Star-chamber. Since this Refolution of all the Juftices, which was given, 4nnp 2. Gar. 1626+ the Lords, 4am
Houfe, did declare, That the Nobility of this Kingdom, and Lords of the Houfe of Parliament, are,of Ancient Right, to 1628. ia their
Anfwer in alt
Cafes as Defendants, upon Proteftation ofHonour only, and not upon the Common Oath. And in the Year 1640. the Ezrl-Marfhall reports
the Opinion of the Committee, to whom the Confideration of the Proteftation of the Peers of this Realm upon Honour, was ren
ferred, upon fome Doubts, that had rifen, ina former Debate of the Houfe of Peers, upon a former Order to that Purpofe, as
follows :
Our Opinions are clear, and that, upon hearing divers Learned Men, of both Laws, fpeak, That our Anfwve pon Honour only,
can be no Impediment to the Common Fuftice ofthe Kingdom, but a juft Prefervation of our Ancient Liberties ;and therefo we offer it as our

Ordered upon the Queftion, Nemine Contradicente, that the Nobility. of this Kingdom, and Lords of the Upper Houfe of Par-
liament, are, of Ancient Right, to anfwer in all Courts, as Defendants, upon Proteftation of Honour only, and not upon
the
Common Oath: And that the faid Order, and this Explanation, doth extend to all An{wers, and Examinations upon Interro-
gatories in all Caufes, as well Criminal as Civil, and in all Courts and Commiffions whatfoever 3 and alfo the Perfons of the
Widows Dowagers of the Temporal Peers of this Land ; and that the Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of Eneland, for the Time

thatit is near as ancient as Va-

Life-guard, both in Peace and War, and were
called Celeres, or Equites from their perfonal
Valour and dexterity in Martial Affairs.
And to add to the Honour of Knighthood, the
Romans oft-times made the Knights Judges for
the management of their Civil Affairs, yet conti-
nued they of the Equeftrian Order.
The Romans called their Knights Milites, or
Miles, and Equites, or Equites Aurati , the Ita-

The Addition of $7 is attributed to the Names

In fome of thefe Habiliments thefe Knights are
attired in publick, as the diverfity of the Occafi

Order are to be performed, that is, the celebrat-

Inftallations, in the Free Chappel of St. Gzorge,
built within the Verge and Limits of the Caftle,
at the Foundation whereof was appointed a Dean,
Prebends, and poor Gentlemen eftablifhed, to be
maintained with Stipends, bythe Name of Knights
(or poor Knights )of Windfor,who have provided for
them Robes of Cloath according to them of their
Order, who are to pray for the Order. Concern-
ing the Ceremony of Inftallation you are to know,
that every Knight is bound to. faften an Efcoche-
on of their Arms on a Plate of Metal on their fe-
veral Stalls, with an Infcription of their Names,
Titles, and Honour, which they remove as they
are advanced in order higher. And in this Order
they alfo advance their Banners, Swords and Hel-
mets, which are continually over their Stalls dur-
ing their being of that Order, that Plate of their
Arms being left unto the Stall in which they laft
fate; the Hatchment taken down to make room
for fuch as fucceed unto the deceafed or higher
removed Knights, touching which they are placed
according to the Seniority of their Creations, and
not according to their Dignities and Titles of Ho-

Batchelor, he fate there without any difference ;
but this Alteration was made, as ‘tis fuppofed,
by King Henry the Seventh, in reference to Fo-
reign Princes; the reft continue in their Stalls
where firft feated; fo that the Sovereign referved
to themfelves the Power once in their Lives (fo

all the Stalls, except of Emperors and Foreign
Princes, which Order continues to this Day.

or rather Conqueft, (for in all Places he found
Fortune to Favour him.) And after his ma-
ny Vidtories gained of the Sascons, Scots, Nor-
wegians, Romans, Saracens, and French, in the
End, being laden with Honour, he returned
into England, but found Mordred a Traitor,
as ufurping the Government, and obftruéting
his Landing: But all that he could do was in
vain; for being landed, he fled to London,
but the Citizens refufing to give him En-
trance, he went into Cornwall, where King
Arthur gave him Battel, which proved unfor-

he was never found alive or dead, which made
the Poets to feign that he was taken up into
the Firmament, and there remaineth a Star a-

founded upon the Prophefy of old Merlin,
which was his Counfel, and efteemed as a Pro-

According to Andrew Favin, there was an
Order of Knighthood called Knights of St. Tho-
mas, which was inftituted by King Richard the
Firft, after the Surprifal of the City of Avon,
and confifted of all Exglifhmen. Their Patron
was St. Thomas Becket; their Garment was
white ; and their Enfign was a red Crofs char-
ged in the midft with a white Efcallop. But
A. Mendo believeth that thefe Knights were
rather fome of thofe which joined themfelves
with the Knights Hofpitallers, for that they
wore the fame Habit, followed the fame Rule,
and ,obferved the fame Cuftoms as’ did the

‘ This famous City, when under the Go-
vernment of the Britains, Romans, and Saxons,
was deftroyed by the Daves: but Alfred,
King of the We/t-Saxons, having reduced the
whole Land to one Monarchy, repaired and
repeopled it, and committed the Cuftody
thereof to his Son-in law <Alhered, Earl of
Mercia, after whofe Deceafe it returned to
King Edward, furnamed the Elder, who had
it governed under him by Port-Graves, or
Port-Reves, which in divers Records are ftyled
Vicecomites, Vifcounts, or Sheriffs. In the
firft of King Richard J. the Citizens obtained
to be governed by two Bailiffs or Sheriffs,
and afterwards obtained to have a Mayor for
their principal Magiftrate, the firft of which
was Henry Fitz-Alwyz a Draper, who was
