England since the first entrance of the ROMANS As Also of the Kings and Princes of Wales the Kings and Lord of Man and the Isle of Wight together with the Princes and Lords of Powys Printed at London 1641. THE PREFACE TO THE CATALOGVE Of the KINGS of ENGLAND THe Realme of England is th●t Southerne and more flourishing part of the Isle of Britaine that which was civi●ized by the Romans and made a Province of their Empire when as the Northe●ne parts thereof were ●ither neglected or not conquered When it was under the command of the Roma● Emperours it wanted not its proper and peculiar Kings over the chiefest and most principall of their Tribes and Nations it being the custome of that Empire as Tacitus hath truely noted habere servitutis instrumenta etiam Reges Of these inferiour tributary Kings those which were in their severall times of more power then others may probably be thought to have assum'd unto themselves the stile and title of Kings of the Britons even as in after times during the heptarchy of the Saxons those which gave law unto the rest did call themselves and were accounted the Kings or Monarchs of the English But those inferiour petite Kings being in tract of time worne out and almost all the South reduced under the immediate command of the Roman Empire either the Emperours themselves or such of their Lieutenants as did here usurpe the regall state were stiled Kings of Britaine till Constantine the Great united it inseparably to the Roman Diadem And in him ended the first line of the Kings of Britaine according to the British story The second line of Kings beares da●e from the departure of the Romans who being called from hence to looke unto their Empire in the Continent le●t their possessions here unto the ●ury of the Scots and Picts who dwelling in the Northerne and unconquered parts attempted to subdue the Southerne For the repressing of whose rage the Britons chose themselves a King out of Armo●ica now called Bretag●e being extracted from the old British bloud which had not long before beene planted in that Region by the Roman Emperours Whose li4e continued here not long till they were dispossessed both of Crowne and Countrey by the Saxons a German people called in by Vortiger to oppose the Scots and other Nations of the North. Who having by degrees subdued all that which formerly had beene conquered by the Romans the Countrey beyond Severne excepted onely divided it amongst themselves into seven Kingdomes which finally being all brought under by the West-Saxon Kings did at last settle and continues in the name of England A Kingdome though of small extent compared unto the greater Countries of France Spaine and Germany yet of so high esteeme abroad that it may challenge an equality with either of them and in some kinde hath had preced●ncie before them For to the honour of this Realme as well before as since it had the name of England we may say thus much It was the first Kingdome which received the faith of Christ which was here planted as it is affirmed by Gildas upon certaine knowledge toward the latter end of Tiberius Empire Tempore ut scimus summo Tiberii Cae●aris as his owne words are which by computing of the times will fall to be five yeares before Saint Peter came to Rome and but five yeares after the death of our Redeemer It shewed unto the world the first Christia● King whose name was Lucius and gave unto the Church her first Christian Emperour even the famous Constantine here borne by whose example and incouragement the saith was generally received over all the Empire and all the Temples of the Idols either demolished or forsaken It also was the first Christian Kingdome out of which the Jewes those bitter and most obstinate enemies of the Crosse of Christ were universally expulsed and our of which the insolent and usurped Supremacie of the Popes of Rome was first ejected after they had a long time domineered in the Church of Christ. The one of these performed by King Edward the first the other by King Henry the eighth Not to say any thing in this place of their warres and victories in France Spaine Scotland the Netherlands the Isle of Cyprus and the Holy land In these regards the Kings of England as they are a● absolute so they are as sacred as of any Countrey whatsoever What ever things are proper unto Supreme Majesty Scepters and Crownes ●he Purple Ro●e the Glo●e or golden Ball and Vnction have beene as long theirs as any others The foure first are by Leland a ●●●ous Antiquarie ascribed unto King A●thur who did begin his reigne Anno 506. which was as soon● as they were ordinarily in use with the Roman Emperours And thi● doth Leland justifie out of an ancient Seale of the said King Arthurs kept in his time as an especiall monument in the Abbie of Westminster As for their Vnction or Annointing it appeares by the old Roman Pr●vinciall and the ancient practise that of all the Kings of Christendome there were none anciently annointed but the two Emperours of the East and West the Kings of France England Sicilie and Hier●salem By reason of which Vnction or annointing besides what is united or annexed to the Crowne Imp●riall of this Realme it was declared Term. Hilarii 33. Edward 3. that the Kings of England were capaces jurisdictionis spiritualis capable of Spirituall or Ecclesiasticall jurisdiction As after in the reigne of King Henry the eighth it was declared rather then enacted that the Kings highnesse was the Supreme head of the Church of England and that he had authority to reforme all errours heresies and abuses in the same 26. Henry 8. cap. 1. Which title or Supreme head though used by King Edward 6. in a●l his ●eigne and by Queene Mary for awhile was changed by Queene Elizabeth into that of Supreme Governour and it is now reckoned as a part of the stile of the Kings of England that they are Supreme Governo●rs in all their Dominions and Countries over all persons in all causes as well Ecclesiasticall as Temporall Now as the Kings of England are absolute at home so are they no lesse honoured and esteemed abroad the Emperour being accounted filius major Ecclesiae the eldest sonne of the Church the King of France filius minor or the second sonne and the King of England filius tertius adop●ivus the third and the adopted sonne In generall Councels the King of France took place at the Emperours right hand the King of England on his left and the King of Scots having precedencie next before Castile And whereas since the time of Charles the fifth the Kings of Spaine have challenged the precedencie of all Christian Princes yet in the time of King Henry 7.

SAINT DAVIDS the Arch-Bishops and Bishops of it SAint Davids now the seate of a Suffragan Bishop was once a Metropolitans S●e in the Brit●sh Church and long time the supreme Ordinary of the Wel●h In the first planting of the Gospel in King Lucius time wee shewed that there were three Arch-Bishops seates appointed viz. at London York and of Caer-Leon upon Vsk. That of Caer-Leon upon Vsk was in the time of Arthur King of the Britons translat●d further off from the Saxons furie to a place called Men●w Menevia is the Latine name but since in memory of David the Arch-Bishop who so translated it by us called Saint Davids From the first name it is these Bishops use to stile themselves Menevenses When Austin the Monk first entred England the Metropolitan of Saint Davids had th●n remaining under his jurisdiction seven Suffragan Bishops all which gave meeting to the said Austin and his Associates for the composing of some differences which were between the old and the new-come Christians viz. the Bishop of Worces●er Wicctor●m Llandaff Bang●r Hereford Llan-Elwy or Saint As●p● Llan-Badern called in Latin Paternensis a place in Card●gan shire the last is called in Latin Morganensis which possibly might have his seate in Margan of Glamorgan shire a place still so called Of these Llan Badern and this Morganensis are quite extinct and have long so beene Hereford and Worcester a long time reckoned as English Bishopricks and so none left unto the Metropolitan of S. Davids but Llandaff Bangor S. Asaphs Now for these Bishops of Saint Davids we finde that 26. of them retained the title of Arch-Bishops The last whereof was Sampson who in a time of pestilence transferd the Archiepiscopall Pall with the same the Archiepiscopall dignity to Dole in Bretagne yet his successours though they lost the name reserved the power of an Arch-Bishop nor did the residue of the Welch Bishops receive their consecration from any other hand then his till in the time of H. 1. Bernard the 46. Bishop of this See was forced to submit himselfe to the Church of Canterbury For the Cathedrall here it had beene oft spoyled and ruined by the Danes Norwegians and other Pirats as standing neare the Sea in the extreme corner of Pembroke shire That which we now see is the worke of Bishop Peter he was the 48. Bishop of this Diocese and by him dedicated by the name of Saint Andrew and Saint David though now Saint Andrew be left out and David onely beares the name This See hath had the greatest number of Bishops of any in England 91. in all and amongst them the Church hath had one Saint the Realme of England three Lo●d Treasurers one Lord Privie Seale the Un●versity of Oxford one Chancellour and the Queene another The Dioce●e containeth the whole Counties of
but that now otherwise disposed of Finally what for priviledge and what for large possessions it was prized so high that Henry of Bloys he was the brother of King Stephen once Bishop here had got a faculty from the Pope to make it an Arch Bishops See seven of the Suffragans of Cante●bury being allotted thereunto And William de Edington one of the Bishops of this Church being elected unto Cante●bury re●used it saying though Canterbury had the highest rack yet Winchester had the deep●st manger The Diocese hereof contained of old the Counties of S●rrey and Sou●hampton and the Isle of Wight to which was added in Qu. Elizabeths time the Islles of Iarsey Garnsey Sack and Alderney once members of the Bishoprick of Constance in Norma●dy Of these the English Isle and Counties containe 362. Parishes of which 131. impropriate the Isle of Iarsey 121. and Garnsey with the other two as many more For government of the English part there are two Arch-Deachns the one of Winchester and the other of Surrey Iar●●y is governed by a Deane or Commissary according to the manner of the English Church and Garnsey with the Isles appendant follow the fashions of Geneva The Bishoprick was anciently valued in the Kings books 3885 li. 3. s. 3. d. ob q. now at 2793. li. 4. s. 2. d. qa. q. lesse by a thousand pounds then before it was which plainely sheweth that there hath beene a great abatement of the old revenue The tenth of the Clergy amounteth unto 846. li. 12. d.
