Herbert of Colebroke in Monmouthshire Knight was born in Yorkshire particularly as I conceive within the City of York admitted Commoner of Jesus Coll. in 1621. under the tuition of Mr. Jenkyn Lloyd his kinsman but before he took a degree his Uncle called Dr. Ambr. Aikroyd fellow of Trin. Coll. in Cambr. brother to his mother Jane dau of Jo. Aikroyd of Folkerthorpe in Yorkshire invited him to that house where his continuance being short he went thence to London to wait upon that most noble Count William Earl of Pembroke who owning him for his kinsman and intending his advancement he sent him to travel in 1626 with allowance to defray his charges So that spending some years in travelling into Africa and Asia the great he did at his return wait on the said noble Count who inviting him to dinner the next day at Baynards Castle in London died suddenly that night whereby his expectation of preferment from him being frustrated he left England a second time and visited several parts of Europe After his return he married and setling in his native Country delighted himself more with the converse of the Muses than in the rude and brutish pleasures which most Gentlemen follow In the time of the rebellion he adhered to the cause of the Parliament and by the endeavours of Philip Earl of Pembroke he became not only of the Commissioners of Parliament to reside in the Army of Sir Thomas Fairfax but also a Commiss to treat with those on the Kings side for the surrender of Oxford Garrison Afterwards he attended the said Count especially at that time in Jan. 1646 when he with other Commissioners were sent from the Parliament to the King at Newcastle to treat about peace and bring him nearer to London When his Majesty came thence and was setled at Holdenby in Northamptonshire jealousies increased which begat fears against which there was then no fence The Commissioners persuant to instructions addressed themselves altogether on a certain time unto the King and acquainted him therewith and humbly prayed his Majesty to dismiss such of his servants as were there and had waited upon him at Oxon. This their application was in no wise pleasing to the King he having had long experience of the loyalty and good affection of those his servants as it appeared by his countenance and the pause he made ere he gave the Commissioners any answer Howbeit after some expostulation and deliberation he condescended to what they proposed they not opposing the continuance of Mr. Jam. Maxwell and Mr. Patr. Maule their attendance upon his royal person as Grooms of his Majesties Bedchamber in which place they had several years served the King Next day his Majesties servants came as at other times into the presence Chamber where all dinner time they waited but after his Majesty rose from dinner he acquainted them with what had passed 'twixt him and the Commissioners and thereupon they all knelt and kissed his Majesties hand and with great expressions of grief for their dismiss they poured fourth their prayers for his Majesties freedom and preservation and so left Holdenby All that afternoon the King withdrew himself into his Bedchamber having given order that none should interrupt him in his privacy Soon after this his Majesty purposing to send a message to the Parliament he after dinner called Philip Earl of Pembroke to him and told him that he would have Mr. Herbert come into his Chamber which the Earl acquainting the Commissioners with Mr. Tho. Herbert our author was brought into the Bedchamber by Mr. Maxwell and upon his knees desired to know the Kings pleasure He told him he would send a message to the Parliament and having none there that he usually employed and unwilling it should go under his own hand called him in for that purpose Mr. Herbert having writ as his Majesty dictated was enjoyn'd secrecy and not to communicate it to any until made publick by both Houses if by them held meet which he carefully observed This errand was as I conceive His Majesties message for Peace dated from Holdenby 12. May 1647. About a week after the King was pleased to tell the Commissioners that seeing that Mr. Jam. Levingston Hen. Moray John Ashburnham and Will. Legge were for the present dismist he had taken notice of Mr. Jam. Harrington and Mr. Tho. Herbert who had

George in Somersetshire at which place much about the same time he taught a Grammar School In the time of the rebellion he was outed thence for his loyalty as some of his relations have said but I think false and afterwards retiring to the City of Exeter closed so much with the Presbyterians that he became Minister of S. Davids Church there and for several years was much frequented by them About the time of his Majesties restauration he went to East Coker in Somersetshire where he had lived for some time before he went to Exeter at which place he taught School for some time and afterwards was made Minister of it His works are The Saints hony-comb full of Divine truths touching both Christian belief and a Christian life in two cent Lond. 1652. oct The Communicants guide directing both the younger and elder sort how they may receive the Sacrament of the Lords Supper Lond. 1654. oct Pious thoughts vented in pithy ejaculations Lond. 1658. oct as also A Catechisme print in oct which I have not yet seen He died on the vigil of the Nativity of our Saviour in sixteen hundred sixty and eight and was buried in the Chancel of the Church of East Coker before mention'd but hath neither inscription or monumental stone over his grave JOHN DENHAM the only Son of Sir Joh.

Com. in Michaelm term an 1631. aged 16 years But being looked upon as a slow and dreaming young man by his seniors and contemporaries and given more to cards and dice than his study they could never then in the least imagine that he could ever inrich the World with his fansie or issue of his brain as he afterwards did From Trin. Coll. where he continued about 3 years and had been examined in the publick Schools for the degree of Bach. of Arts he went to Lincolns inn where tho he followed his study very close to the appearance of all persons yet he would game much and frequent the company of the unsanctified crew of Gamesters who rook'd him sometimes of all he could wrap or get But his Father having received notice of these matters took him severely to task with many threatnings to cast him off if he did not forbear from so doing Whereupon he wrot a Little Essay against Gaming shewing the vanities and inconveniencies which he presented to his Father to let him know his detestation of it After his Fathers death who died 6. Jan. 1638 and was buried in Egham Church in Surrey he fell to gaming again and shortly after squandred away several thousands of pounds that were left him c. In the latter end of the year 1641 he published the Tragedy called The Sophy which took extremely much and was admired by all ingenious men particularly by Edm. Waller of Beaconsfield who then said of the author that he broke out like the Irish rebellion threescore thousand strong when no body was aware or in the least suspected it Shortly after he was prick'd High Sherriff for Surrey and made Governour of Farnham Castle for the King But he being an inexpert soldier soon after left that office and retired to his Maj. at Oxon where he printed his poem called Coopers hill which hill is in the Parish of Egham in Surrey above Runney mead hath a very noble prospect and the author of it from thence doth admirably well describe several places in his view there which he mentions in that most celebrated poem In 1648 he conveyed or stole away James Duke of York from S. James's in Westminster then under the tuition of Algernon Earl of Northumberland and carried him into France to the Prince of Wales and the Qu. Mother and not long after was sent with William afterwards Lord Crofts as Envoyes to the King of Poland by the said Prince then K. Ch. 2. In 1652 or thereabouts he return'd into England and being in some streights for by gaming and the War he had squandred away much of his Estate at Egham and elsewhere and the rest ordered to be sold by the Parliament 15 July 1651 he was kindly entertain'd by the Earl of Pembroke at Wilton where
should have known whether he was the same who was afterwards the famed Author of Hudibras After Sam. Butler had continued in Cambridge about 6 or 7 years but in what Coll. or Hall his brother knows not he was taken into the service of Elizabeth Countess of Kent in whose family living several years he did for a diversion exercise his parts in Painting and Musick and at length became so noted for the first that he was entirely beloved of Sam. Cooper the Prince of Limners of his age Great Selden who was much conversant in the family of that Countess had an esteem for and would often employ him to write letters beyond sea and translate for him At riper years he studied the Common Law but did not practise it only lived on the jounture of a widow that he had married After the restauration of K. Ch. 2 he became Secretary to Richard Earl of Carbury L. President of the Principality of Wales and of the Marches thereof who as 't is said made S. Butler Steward of Ludlow Castle when the Court there was revived Afterwards he became Secretary to George Duke of Buckingham when he was made Chancellour of the University of Cambridge and had promises of places and employments of greater value and credit from Edward Earl of Clarendon when he was L. Chanc. of England especially for this cause that his Majesty had a respect for him and the more for his poem called Hudibras the first part of which came out in 8o. an 1663 and was not only taken into his Majesties hands and read by him with great delight but also by all Courtiers loyal Scholars and Gentlemen to the great profit of the Author and Bookseller Afterwards came out a second part and both printed together with several additions and annotations And at length a third and last part but without annotations as by the copy printed 1678 appears In 1682 was published in 8o. Butlers Ghost or Hudibras The fourth part with reflections on these times But whether he was the Author of I know not for I have not yet seen it This Sam. Butler who was a boon and witty companion especially among the company he knew well died of a Consumption 25 of Sept. 1680 and was according to his desire buried six foot deep in the yard belonging to the Church of S. Paul in Covent Garden within the Liberty of Westminster viz. at the west end of the said yard on the north side and under the wall of the Church and under that wall which parts the yard from the common high way As for our voluminous Author Will.

Yeomans and George Bowcher notwithstanding his Maj. sent letters in their behalf to have their lives spared to the extream horror and amazement of all honest men and the great grief of his Majesty who could not choose but look upon it as the most barbarous act which the impudence and cruelty of the said Rebellion had produced against him 3 In his and his murtherous Crews contempt and profanation of Gods holy Worship and Service and permitting the rending of Surplices tearing the book of Common-Prayer breaking down Organs exterminating the whole Liturgy out of the Congregations c. 4 His discountenancing and driving away the orthothodox Ministers and substituting in their places the most infamous and notorious Schismaticks that he could pick out of Bristow and other places as Joh. Tombes of Lemster Edm Cradock .... Bacon .... Walter .... Simonds and one Mathew Hazard whom tho I name last yet deserves to have precedency of all the rest as being a main Incendiary in the Rebellion violently egged on by his wife whose disciple the silly man was But at length the said City of Bristow being by Col.

Aug. 1626 and was then entred a Noble man there At which time and so long as he continued there he was very familiar and held great correspondence with Pet. Heylyn Fellow of that House by whose directions and conversation he improved himself much in several sorts of learning In 1636 just after his Majest had left Oxon where he had been splendidly entertained by the members of the University and by the Archbishop at S. Johns Coll he was among other Persons of honor actually created Master of Arts being then esteemed a Person of good parts and in hopes to do the State service In the beginning of the Long Parliament of which he was a member he became one of the eminent Darlings of the People as being a Person discontented and therefore was appointed one of the Committee to prepare a charge against the most noble and eminently conspicuous Thomas Earl of Strafford 11. Nov. 1640 and appointed one of the managers of the evidence against him But upon a discovery of the unjust practices against him he became his Advocate tho all the advantage he got by it was that he lost his own esteem both among the House of Commons and among the Faction From that time he became their declared enemy by being a bold friend of truth and justice which he shewed in a Speech at the passing of the Bill of Attainder against the said Earl 21. Apr. 1641 ordered to be burnt as I shall tell you anon and therefore was posted up by some in the head of those called Straffordians He was also a friend to the Bishops and their function when both were called into question about that time and a zealous enemy to the Covenant All which do appear in speeches uttered in good language and sweetness On the 10. of June 1641. he was expell'd the House of Commons not only for exceptions taken by them for words spoken concerning an oath which Colonel G. Goring confessed he had taken to be secret to saying he was a perjur'd Person but because he was the day before made a Baron and introduced into the upper House the very same 10. of June In the beginning of January following he went on a message from his Maj. to Kingston upon Thames to certain Gentlemen there some say to give Coll. Tho. Lundsford a visit in a Coach with 6 horses and no other equipage with him save only a servant riding by him and a Companion in a Coach But his appearance there being represented to the Parliament as in a warlike manner and every Coach horse reckoned for a Troop the House of Commons made a complaint thereof on the 10. of the same month to the House of Lords Whereupon it being voted that he then took up Arms for his Majesty he was proclaimed Traitor banished and made the publick hatred of the Puritans or Presbyterians But the King soon after leaving the Parliament because of their desperate proceedings he drew by degrees many Lords and Commons after him together with this Lord from beyond the Seas and therefore he was excepted by the Parliament in a treaty of peace with the King at Oxon in the latter end of the year 1642. In 1643 he was made one of the Secretaries of State to his Majesty and high Steward of this University in the place of Will Lord Say who adher'd to the Parliament and in the next year he would have been question'd for an Incendiary by the Parliament sitting at Oxon because of a Mutiny that hapned among the Soldiers of the Garrison there but it was dissolved before the members could do any thing in the matter In the latter end of 1645 he being then a stirring active man he went into Ireland where he did good service for his Majesty and underwent great hazards of his life but upon the declining of the Kings cause he left that place and on the 24. of Oct. 1648 he was exempted from pardon by the Parliament Afterwards upon the death of his Father he became Earl of Bristow and Knight of the Garter being then in exile beyond the Seas suffering much by the loss of his Estate After the Kings return he was restored to what he had lost and the year after was installed with others Knight of the said Order became a frequent Speaker in Parliaments and an enemy to Clarendon while he was Lord Chancellour Under his name were printed these things following Several Speeches as 1 Speech in Parl. 9.

Clara not known or called Christop Davenport after he had entred into a religious order CHRISTOPHER DAVENPORT son of Joh. Dav. by Elizabeth Wolley his Wife the fifth Son of Hen. Dav. Alderman of Coventry Grandson to a younger Brother of the Davenports of Henbury in Cheshire was born in the antient City of Coventry in Warwickshire and in Grammar learning there educated At about 15 years of age he and his Brother John were sent to Merton College in the beginning of the year 1613 and became Pupils to Mr. Sam. Lane Fellow of that House They were only Batlers and took the Cooks Commons but the Warden Sir Henry Savile having received notice of them and their condition he dismiss'd them unless they would become Commoners But their Parents being unwilling John thereupon went to Magd. Hall and became afterwards a noted Puritan and at length an Independent but Christopher continued longer in the Coll. especially upon Sir Henries recess to Eaton but upon his return withdâ—ew So that having spent about two years among the Mertonians he by the invitation of some Rom. Priest then living in or near Oxon went to Doway an 1615 where remaining for some time went to Ypres and entred into the Order of Franciscans among the Dutch there 7. Oct. 1617. Afterwards he returned to Doway and was entred into the House of the English Recollects there of the same order 18. Oct. 1618 which was then built for them and dedicated to S. Bonaventure the same year After he had ran a course there and had read for some time a Lecture he went into Spain and in an University there Salamanca I think he improved himself much in the supreme faculty Thence he returned to Doway where he read first Philosophy and afterwards became chief Reader of Divinity in the said Coll. of S. Bonaventure and in fine was made Doctor of Divinity of his order but not of any University At length he became a Missionary in England where he went by the name of Franciscus à Sancta Clara and at length was made one of the Chaplains to Henrietta Maria the Royal Consort of K. Ch. the first and became highly honored of all of his profession and of many Scholars too whether Protestants or Papists for his great learning After his settlement in England where he continued going and coming more than 50 years he did very great service for the R. Cath. cause by gaining disciples raising money among the English Catholicks to carry on publick matters beyond the Seas in writing of books for the advancement of his Religion and Order by his perpetual and unwearied motion day and night to administer among the Brethren and by tendring his service to consult and help warping Protestants c.

1667 at which time William Albert Count of Dona Embassador from Sweedland was here in England was broken and thereupon an alliance was made with France In which act we are to thank Henry Coventry Secretary of State for his pains if his own affirmation may be credited when he went into Sweedland 1671. In the same Session of Parliament Shaftesbury had a principal hand in promoting and establishing the Test to render Papists uncapable of publick employments And this he did as 't is thought because he perceiving the Court to be sick of him provided himself by having a hand therein with a retreat to the favour and applause of the populacy On the 9. of Nov. 1673 he being then President of his Majesties Council for trade and plantations the Great Seal was taken from him by the endeavours of James Duke of York who found him untractable and not fit according to moderation for that high place or as another tells us for his zeal and activity in promoting the Bill for the aforesaid Test and thereupon he grew much discontented and endeavoured several times to make a disturbance On the 16. of Feb. 1676 he with George Duke of Buckingham James Earl of Salisbury and Philip Lord Wharton were sentenced by the H. of Lords to be committed Prisoners to the Tower under the notion of contempt for that they refused a recantation for what the day before was spoken by them viz. that Buckingham just after the King had ended his Speech to both Houses at their then meeting endeavouring to argue from Law and reason that the long prorogation was null'd and that the Parliament was consequently dissolved was seconded by Salisbury Shaftesbury and Wharton For which reason I say and for endeavouring to raise sedition they were sent to the Tower Buckingham Salisbury and Wharton were by petition to his Majesty freed thence in the beginning of May following but Shaftesbury remained there till the beginning of Dec. next ensuing notwithstanding he before Jun. 22. an 1677 had moved for a Habeas Corpus to the Kings Bench which was granted yet the Judges declared they could not release him In Sept. 1678 upon the breaking out of the Popish Plot he became head of the factious party who making it more terrible than 't was endeavoured all ways imaginable to promote their interest thereby To stop Shaftesbury's mouth therefore and so consequently please his party his Majesty vouchsafed to constitute him Lord President of his Privy Council consisting then but of 30 21. Apr. 1679 but he shewing himself too busie and forward and little or not at all to keep pace with the Kings moderate humour he was laid aside on the 5 of Octob. following and was succeeded in that honorable office by John Lord Roberts who behaving himself much like a Gentleman was soon after created Earl of Radnor After this Shaftesbury plays his old game by recurring to the People remov'd into the City and to vent his spleen became the most bitter enemy in the H. of Lords against the Duke of York especially at that time 15. of Nov. 1680 when William Lord Russell eldest Son of William Earl of Bedford did in the head of more than 200 of the House of Commons carry up a Bill to the House of Lords for the disinheriting the said Duke of the Imperial Crown of Britaine Then and there I say he was so heated with passion being excellently well opposed in what he then said by George Earl of Halyfax that he talked almost all the time being ten of the Clock at night before they gave over But all that he then and afterwards said effecting nothing he wrot or caused to be written abusive Pamphlets and endeavoured with others by an Association to depose the King in case he and his Parliament held at Oxon in Mar. 168â— should disagree which he fully expected But his trayterous designs being discovered he was seized on in his House in London by one of his Majesties Serjeants at armes on the 2. Jul. 1681 examined by the Council the K. being then present and forthwith was committed close Prisoner to the Tower for High Treason in compassing and imagining the death of the King and endeavouring to depose him from his Crown and Dignity and to raise armes to that purpose On the 24. of Nov. following there was a Bill of indictment of High Treason against him read before his Majesties Commissioners of Oyer and Terminer in the Sessions-house in the Old Baylie London and afterwards proved by several sufficient Witnesses but the fanatical Jury pack'd on purpose by the then fanatical Sheriffs Tho. Pilkington and Sam. Shute they returned the Bill Ignoramus and so forthwith Shaftesbury was set at liberty Upon which deliverance the seditious party made Bonefires and caused a medal to be cast of which medal Dryden the Poet Laureat made a witty Poem In Octob. 1682 when Dudley North and Pet. Rich the loyal Sheriffs of London were sworn a Warrant was issued out against to apprehend him Whereupon he sculk'd for a time till an opportunity wafted him over the Seas to Holland where he remained to the time of his death He hath written divers things of which these are some The fundamental constitutions of Carolina Lond. in 7. sh in fol.

In 1656 he being then Bach. of Arts he took holy Orders according to the Church of England from the hands of Dr. Thomas Fulwar Bishop of Ardfert or Kirrie in Ireland in the beginning of Aug and the same year we find him preacher of Gods word at Weston on the Green near Bister in Oxfordshire where he found great encouragement from Sir Fr. Norris Lord of that Town After he had proceeded in Arts he became Vicar of Leighton Budezard in Bedfordshire where continuing in good repute for his ready and edifying way of preaching till 1662 he then went in the quality of a Chaplain with his Grace John Earl of Middleton Lord high Commissioner of Scotland when he left the Court at Whitehall to go to that Kingdom In the latter end of 1663 he was instituted to the Tolbooth Church at Edinburg where continuing several years was transplauded to the Trone Church of that City which is also a Prebendship In Apr. 1676 he was by the presentation of his Majesty under his royal hand with the Privy Seal of his Kingdom of Scotland appended thereto made Dean of Edinburgh and on Oct. 1. an 1685 he commenced Doctor of Div. in the University of S.

Johns College and Dean of Sarum who had been a very great sufferer for the Kings cause but he refusing it because Dr. Frewen had skim'd it it was thereupon confer'd on Dr. John Hacket of Cambridge as I shall anon tell you This Dr. Frewen who was accounted a general Scholar and a good Orator but hath nothing extant only a Latin Oration with certain verses on the death of Prince Henry for his Moral Philosophy Lectures are not yet made publick died at his Mannour of Bishops Thorp near York on the 28 day of March in sixteen hundred sixty and four and was buried on the third day of May following under the great east window of the Cathedral Church of S.

Accepted before mention'd Thankful Stephen Joseph Benjamin Thomas Samuel John c. which John seems to have succeeded his Father in the Rectory of Nordiham but whether the said Father was educated in Oxon I cannot yet tell Qu. As for Dr. Hacket before mention'd who was an eminent person in his time for learning and a publick spirit I shall now take this opportunity to speak at large of him tho I have partly mention'd him already in the Fasti under the year 1616. p. 824 and elsewhere in the first volume Born therefore he was in the Strand near Exeter-house in the Parish of S. Martin in the Fields within the Liberty of Westminster on the first day of Sept. 34. Elizab. Dom. 1592. His Father was Andr. Hacket of Putferin in Scotland a senior Burgess of the City of Westminster and afterwards of the Robes to Prince Henry who being a zealous Protestant took great care to breed up this his only Son to that religion When he was very young therefore he put him to the Coll. School at Westminster and his Master Mr. Ireland finding in him a great propensity to learning was very kind to him as also was Dr. Lanc. Andrews the Dean of the Ch. there who in the necessary absence of the Master being accustomed to come into the School and examine the boys took this youth into his particular favour and continued it to him as long as the Bishop lived Being made ripe for the University he was in the year 1608 with the pious Mr. George Herbert elected to go to Trinity Coll. in Cambridge by the favour of Dr. Tho. Nevill Master of that Coll who told his Father when he addressed to him about his Son that he should go to Cambridge or else he would carry him upon his back and being there entred he was put under the tuition of Dr. Edw. Simson author of Chronicon ab exordio mundi c. Soon after he was so much noted for his painful studies sober life and great proficiency in learning that he was elected Fellow of that House assoon as he was by the rules thereof fit for the same Afterwards he grew into that credit that he had many Pupils put to his charge and those of the best families in England and then betaking himself to the study of Divinity he took holy Orders in 1618 from the hands of Dr. John King B. of London who had a great affection for him and expressed the same on divers occasions but above all others Dr. John Williams Bishop of Linc observing his great learning and knowledge in the Tongues chose him his Chaplain immediatly after the Great Seal was committed to his charge an 1621. Two years he spent in that Bishops service before his time was come to commence Bach. of Divinity and then beg'd leave to go to Cambridge to keep the publick Act an 1623 which he performed according to expectation and then returning to Court to his Master he prefer'd him to be Chaplain to K. Jam. 1 before whom he preaching several times to that learned Prince's good liking he was the next year by the recommendations of his Master presented to the Church of S. Andrew in Holbourn near London then within his Majesties disposal by reason of the minority of Thomas Earl of Southampton and suddenly after he was by the same means made Parson of Cheame in Surrey fallen likewise in his Majesties gift by the promotion of Dr. Ric. Senhouse to the Bishoprick of Carlile which two Livings he held till the most execrable rebellion broke out in 1642 and was constantly resident upon one of them In 1628 he commenced Doct. of Div. at Cambridge where he preached a Sermon highly applauded by the learned auditory of that time And returning to Holbourne and his duty there he became very famous for excellent preaching and decent order in his charge In 1631 his old Master the Bishop of Lincoln gave him the Archdeaconry of Bedford void by the death or resignation of Nich. Walker D. D. who had succeeded therein one George Eland an 1629. To which charge he usually went once in a year commonly after Easter and exhorted the Clergy thereof to keep strictly the Orders of the Church Afterwards finding his Church of S. Andrew in Holbourne much in decay he eagerly sollicited his great friends and acquaintance to contribute to its reedification or at least repair and about the year 1639 he had obtained divers thousands of pounds for that purpose but the unparalell'd rebellion following soon after the members of the Long Parliament mostly a prevalent party of Presbyterians did seize on that and all the money collected for the repair of St. Pauls Cathedral in London to carry on their rebellion against their King In the beginning of the Civil War he was named one of the Committee with divers eminent Bishops and Pastors to consider of what was amiss in the English Liturgy and Church government and to rectifie the same in hopes by that means to expel the cloud then appearing over the Church but the Lords

Uncles Aunts Brothers and Sisters in the descents there drawn Also by publickly disclaiming all such as did take upon them the titles of Esquire or Gentlemen without just right and truly registring the Armes of all such as could shew any justifiable right thereto His care also was manifested in defacing such Tablets of Armes as he found in any publick places which were fictitious and by pulling down several Atchievments commonly called Hatchments irregularly and against the law of Armes hung up in any Churches or Chappels within the precincts of his Province the particulars whereof are expressed in that large book in the Office or Coll. of Armes covered with russet leather and called the Earl Marshalls book Further also to vindicate the just rights of his said office he commenced a sute at the common law against one Randal Holme a Painter of the City of Chester who had boldly invaded the office of him the said Norroy by preparing Atchievments for the funeral of Sir Ralph Ashton of Middleton in the County of Lancaster Kt and giving directions for a formal proceeding at the solemnity thereof whereupon he had a verdict against him the said Holme at the general Assizes held at Stafford in March an 1667 and recovered good damages with costs of suit The titles of such books touched on before which are published under Sir Will.
