Michael To euery Knight of this Order the King giueth a Coller of Gold made of Scallops enterlaced one within another and doubly banded fastened on small chaines or mailes of gold At the middest of the same Coller vpon a Rocke must be an Image of my Lord S. Michael which must hang down vpon the breast of him that weares it which they are bound to weare daily and openly about their necke on paine of causing a Masse to be said and to giue for Gods sake the summe of seauen Sols and six Deniers Tournois if they be delinquent If any man be desirous to see the forme of the Kings Letters Patents whereby this Order was instituted they shall finde it thus LEwis by the grace of God King of France To all present and to come greeting We make knowne that for the most perfect and sincere loue which we beare to the Noble Order and estate of Knighthood whereof in most ardent affection we desire the honour and increase that according to our hearty wish the holy Catholike Faith the blessed condition of our Holy Mother the Church and posterity of the Common-weale might be kept and maintained as they ought to be Wee to the glory of God our almighty Creatour and reuerence due to the Glorious Virgin Mary as also in the honour and reuerence of Saint Michael the prime and chiefe Knight who in Gods quarrell fought against the ancient enemy of mankinde and made him fall from Heauen who hath likewise alwaies kept his place preserued and defended his Oratory named the Mount S.

The chiefest reason that can be found of the Institution of this Order to the honour of S. Michael was certainly the ancient opinion that the French haue who belieue that S. Michael is the Tutelary Angell and Guardian of all France Wherfore hee is called by them Princeps imperij Francorum which name he receiued euer since he appeared to Aubert Bishop of Auranches commanding him to build a Church vpon a Rocke in his Diocesse called the Tombe or Tombe-Helene Besides they celebrate two great deliuerances which they attribute to Saint Michael namely when the English besieged Orleans in the yeare of Grace 1428. where the Archangell S. Michael they say visibly appeared vpon the Bridge of the City and fought against the English and ouerthrew them And secondly when Henry the Great reduced to obedience the City of Paris where there was 〈◊〉 neere vnto his Maiesty Saint Michael the Arch●ngell in the shape of a young childe about six or seuen yeares olde cloathed all in white who all the time the King rendred thankes to God vpon his knees for this happy reduction stood close by his right side and when he had done immediatly vanished But concerning this order it is to be obserued that before any Knight elected come to the Soueraigne of that Order he must deliuer these or the like speeches vnto him at his presentation SIR or if he be of the bloud My most gratious Lord I haue obserued by these Letters that of royall Grace in you and Loue in the most honour able Brethren and Companions of the worthy and noble Order of S.
