XIX THE lowest degree of Honour that is Hereditary is this of Baronets which was instituted by King Iames in the ninth year of his Reign Anno 1611. They are created by Patent under the Great Seal a form of which I shall here set down which are generally all of one form viz. to a Man and the Heirs Males of his Body lawfully begotten yet sometimes the Honour is otherwise entailed for want of Issue Male. And the Proeme or Argument of the said Patent being for the propagating a Plantation in the Province of Vlster in Ireland to which the aid of these Knights was ordained or for the maintenance of Thirty Souldiers each of them in Ireland for three years after the rate of eight pence sterling per diem which at first was payed into the Exchequer at a lump upon the passing their Patents which with the Fees of Honour due to Officers amounted to above One thousand pounds a Man Their Titles are to descend as aforesaid and they

Sir Thomas VVhitmore OF Knights Batchelors With what is incident to that Degree of KNIGHTHOOD According to the Laws of England CHAP. XXI THE particular kinds of Services by which Lands of Inheritance are distinguished are two viz. Knights of Service and Knights of Soccage And in ancient time Tenure by Knights Service was called Regale serviti●m because it was done to and for the King and Realm and forinsecum servitium as appeareth in the 19 Edw. 2. Avowry 224. 26. Ass. p. 66. 7. Hen. 4. 19. Coke's seventh Part 8. a. Calvin's case because they who hold by Escuage ought to do and perform their Services out of the Realm Litt. 35. ideo forinsecum dici potest sit quia capitur foris hujusmodi servitia persolvuntur ratione Tenementorum non Personarum And as Knights-Service-Land requireth the service of the Tenant in Warfare and Battel abroad so Soccage-Tenure commandeth the attendance at the Plough the one by Manhood defending the King or his Lord's life and person the other by industry maintaining with Rents Corn and Victuals his Estate and Family For Kings did thus order their own Lands and Tenements one part they kept and detained in their own hands and in them stately Houses and Castles were erected and made for their habitations and defence of their Persons and of the Realm also Forests and Parks were there made for their Majesties Recreation One other part thereof was given to the Nobles and others of their Chivalry reserving Tenure by Knights Service The third part was bestowed upon men of meaner condition and quality with reservation of Soccage-Tenure And in this manner the Dukes and Nobles amongst their Menials and Followers dissipated a great part of their Lands viz. to their Gentlemen of quality to hold by Knights Service and to other of meaner condition by Soccage-Tenure The Right Honourable S.

XXV ALTHOUGH by the Civil Law there be no Gentlemen of Title under Knights but all the rest went under the name of People yet with us there are in this rank which have names of Preheminence whereby they are in Degree above the rest as Esquires and Gentlemen all which give Ensigns of Coats of Arms and thereby are distinguished from the meaner People in which respect Bartoll's Tract de Ensignes calleth them Noble but yet of weak Nobility for it hath no further Prerogative in it than it makes them differ from the baser sort of People Of these two sorts of Gentlemen with us the Esquire hath the Priority But it seemeth if an Esquire be named Gentleman or a Gentleman called an Esquire it is no Offence or Fault in Legal Proceedings Esquire seemeth by the common Name we give him in Latin to have his Original either for that he carried the Armour of the King Duke or other great Personage as we read not only in Scripture as Saul and Ionathan had their Armour-bearers but in Poets and other profane Stories we find that Troclus was Achilles's Armour-bearer and Clytus Alexander's the Great whereupon some write that he whom we call Armiger in Latin is a Footman that with a Spear Shield or Head-piece followeth an armed Knight in Battel or rather as some other suppose it is the Footman armed in the Field But howsoever the words be taken this is sure That those men were of good accompt in the old time as those that won themselves Credit out of War and so their Estimation remaineth in their Posterity And as those were in times before so are these which are in our days as descending for the most part from their worthy Ancestors And our Books of Common Law doth distinguish them thus viz. Knighthood is a Dignity but Esquires and Gentlemen are but Names of Worship And Brooks in the Abridgment of that Case Title Nosman de Dignitie 33. saith To be a Knight est gradus but to be an Esquire or Gentleman est status for Gradus continet status in se non è contrario Concerning the word Worshipful read in the printed Book of Titles of Honour the first Part fol. 124. sequentia In times past every Knight had two of these waiting upon him who carried his Murrion and Shield and as inseparable Companions they stuck close to him because of the said Knight their Lord they held
