Parliament the greatest of the Nobility wear the same Robes with Barons only the Dukes Marquesses c. wear more or less Furrs upon their Shoulders with some difference in the Furr that is set as Fringes or Edgings on their Robes and take place according to their Dignity of which more particularly anon Besides it is observable that in Cases criminal all Degrees of Nobility are tryed by Barons as well as those of their own Dignity or Degree as their Peers and Barons are tryed by Nobles of a higher Degree as well as those of their own as in all such Cases is well known It may be here noted That no English man receiving any Title of Honour from a foreign Prince can use the same in England But if he have no other Title from the King must in all judicial proceedings be named by his name of Baptism and Sirname excepting only the Honour of Knight-hood which is to be born in all places And this is the same in Scotland or Ireland as well as in other Lands CHAP. II. Of the King's Most Excellent Majesty THe Title used by the Kings of England as those of France and Spain and some few others is Dei Gratiâ which is to be understood simply as having his Authority from none but God he is styled Deffender of the Faith which was antiently used by the Kings of England but Anno. 1521. confirmed to them by a Bull from Pope Leo the 10th in King Henry the 8th's time and by Act of Parliament made Supreme Head of the Church of England and he as all other Kings writes in the plural Number The Ceremonies at our King's Coronation are more than are used in many other Countreys as the Annointing with Oil which is said by some to be of a thousand years standing and hath a Priest's Garment called a Dalmatica or Colobium put on him to shew he is both King and Priest He hath an Emperial Crown set upon his Head at his Coronation by the Archbishop of Canterbury which is a peculiar Prerogative belonging to that See. The King hath also many other emblematical Ensigns and Ceremonies at his Coronation which hath these following proper Significations 1. At his Coronation first he hath the Priest's Garment or Dalmatica put upon him to shew his Power in the Church 2. He is annointed with Oil to shew his Person is Sacred on the Head to shew Glory on the Breast to signifie Sanctity on the Arms to emblemize Power His Ensigns of Regality are these 1. In his Right-hand is a Sceptre to shew Justice 2. In his Left-hand a Globe with a Cross on it called a Mound used ever since Edward the Confessour signifying that the Faith of Christ is to be owned throughout his Empire 3. A Ring is put on his Finger whereby he is wedded to his People and denotes Faithfulness 4. He hath a Bracelet put on his Hand the Emblem of good Works 5. A Sword is born before him to signifie Vengeance 6. He hath purple Robes to attract Reverence 7. On his Head he weareth a Diadem Triumphant to blazon his Glory in which Diadem some take notice of twelve precious Stones and shew their Significations as followeth 1. Say they the first is a Tophaz whose Rays seem to partake of the Colours of most sorts of precious Stones by which the King is warned to exercise all Vertues 2. A Smaragd or Emrauld of a pure green and shews that Justice is an ornament for a King. 3. A Sardick whose Colour is like red Clay it is in the top of the Crown whereby the King is put in mind that though he be the highest yet he is but Clay 4. A Crysolite which shineth like Gold sending forth as it were flames this exhorteth the King to shew Wisdom and Prudence in his Actions 5. A Chalcedon which is strong and hard by Nature and sheweth that the King should be of Fortitude and courage of Mind 6. An Hyacinth which shews like Water when the Sun shineth upon it it teacheth Temperance c. 7.

A Berill of a pale Green shewing that a Prince ought to have heavenly Contemplation and to abhor Epicurism 10. A Sapphir of a light Blew it instructeth the King to Continency and Chastity 11. There is an Amethyst of a purple or Violet Colour advising the King to a faithfull Discharge of his Royal Function and so give a good Example to his People 12. The Last is a Sardonyx which is black at bottom red in the midst and white above and sheweth a King ought to be Charitable Humble and Sincere The Imperial Crown hath not been long in use with us for formerly the King wore a Coronet composed of Spires or points untill Henry the 3d. who first wore the Imperial Diadem There are twelve Days which are called the twelve Houshold or Offering Days on which the Nobles attending at Court and Knights of the Garter wear their Robes and the Besant is given to the Lord Steward the Days are as followeth On these four Days the King offers Gold which is given by one of the White-staff Officers viz. 1 Christmas Day 2 Easter Day 3 Whitsunday 4 All Saints Day These two Days the King offers Gold Myrrh and Frankincense 1 New Years Day 2 Epiphany On the Six Days following the King offers only Gold 1 The Purification 2 The Anunciation 3 The Ascention-Day 4 Trinity Sunday 5 Midsummer-Day 6 Michaelmas-Day The King's Collar Days without offering are the Sundays and Hollydays in the twelve Days of Christmas all the Apostles and Evangelists Days the Coronation Day the King's Birth Day the 5th of November St. George's Day Monday and Tuesday in Easter Week Monday and Tuesday in Whitsun Week CHAP. III. Of the Prince THe King 's Eldest Son and Heir Apparent from the Day of his Birth is entituled Prince of Wales and since the happy Union of the Kingdoms his Title hath been Magnae Britanniae Princeps but he is usually called by the former Title of Prince of Wales He is as the King 's eldest Son by his Birth Duke of Cornwall and Earl of Chester and as Eldest Son to the King of Scotland he is Earl of Rothsay and Senchall of Scotland from his Birth but he is created Prince of Wales At his Creation he is presented before the King in Princely Robes who putteth a Coronet of Gold upon his Head a Ring on his middle Finger a Verge of Gold into one Hand and his Letters Patents after they are read into the other Hand His Mantle which he wears in Parliament is doubled with five Doublings upon his Shoulder and his Cap of State is indented at Bottom His Coronet formerly was composed of Crosses and and Flower-de-luces mixed but since

XIII Of Baronets THis is the lowest Degree of Hereditary Honour and in that case succeeds Barons It was Instituted anno 1611. in the 9th of King James the First They are created by Letters Patents under the Great Seal of England to him and to his Heirs Males yet sometimes it may be otherwise entailed but this is rare and must be inserted in the Patent The Intention of this Order was for the propagating a Plantation in the Province of Vlster in Ireland towards which they were to lend their Aid or maintain 30 Soldiers each for 3 Years in Ireland after the rate of 8d per Day They have Precedency of all Knights except those of the Garter Knights Bannerets and Knights being privy Counsellors In all Writs Commissions c. they are are styled Baronets and the Title of Sir added to their Names and of Lady to their Wives They take place according to the Priority of the Date of their Patents unless the King insert a Clause to the contrary which is very rare Those admitted are to be of good Reputation and whose Grand father at least by the Father's Side bore Arms and he must be of the yearly Estate of 1000 l. de claro They or their eldest Son may receive the Order of Knight-hood at the age of 21 Years and they shall bear on a Canton or on an Escoucheon which can be best placed on their Arms the Arms of Vlster Argent a Sinister Hand in Pale Couped at Wrist Gules In the Royal Army they have place in the Gross near the Royal Standard and are allowed some peculiar Solemnities for their Funerals CHAP XIV Of the Knights of the Bath THey are called Knights of the Bath from the manner of their Creation and also Knights of the Holy Trinity from the Medal which they wear which is three Crowns with an Inscription about it which was formerly Tria Numina juncta in Vno But at King James the First his Coronation the word Numina was left out and so it alluded to the three Kingdoms of England Scotland and Ireland which were then joyned in one They are usually made at the Coronation of a King or Queen and at the Creation of a Prince or Duke of the Royal Bloud as at the Creation of Henry Prince of Wales and Charles Duke of York These Knights saith Froysard as quoted by Bloom were first created in Anno. 1399. but Elias Ashmole Esq thinks them more ancient and that Henry IV. who was then King did not constitute but rather restore the ancient manner of making Knights and made it peculiar to the Knights of the Bath which hath continued so ever since They are assigned no Statues neither are they to wear their Robes but upon the time of Solemnity except a red Ribbon worn cross their left Shoulder as those of the Garter do a Blew with a Medal above mentioned and upon a Vacancy their number which is uncertain is not supplied They are created with many and Noble Ceremonies and have had Princes and the prime of the Nobility of their Order The principal Ceremonies are these The Person is first sent for by the King and at his coming to Court the King usually Knights him with the Sword of State where he is honourably received by the chief Officers and Nobles of the Court and hath two Esquires to wait upon him and convey him to the Chamber appointed and see him no more that day where he is entertained with Musick then a Bath is prepared by a Barber who is to trim him and then the King is informed that he is ready for the Bath then is he instructed by the most grave Knights in the Order and Fees of Chivalry the Musick all the while playing at the Door then they undress him and put him naked into the Bath at which time the Musick ceases and one of the grave Knights saith to him Be this an honourable Bath to thee From the Bath he is conveyed to his Bed which is plain without Curtains c. as soon as he is dry

Right Honourable Truly Noble Potent Lord c. He may have a Traverse in his House except in his Superiour's presence his Wife may have her Train born up by a Woman out of her Superiours presence in their presence by a Man. CHAP. VIII Of Barons or Lords which are Spiritual and Temporal THe next and lowest Degree of Nobility is that of a Baron which is twofold Lords Spiritual and Temporal but first of the Lords Spiritual or Bishops § 1. By Lords Spiritual are meant only the Suffragan Bishops for the Archbishops are accounted of the prime Nobility of the Kingdom of which we have two viz. of Canterbury and York 1. The Archbishop of Canterbury had formerly great Honour so that no Legate or Nuntio from Rome could exercise any Legantine Power without the King 's special License else he was accountable to the Archbishop of Canterbury In General Councils he had place before all Archbishops at the Pope's right Foot and at home was reputed the second Person in the Kingdom or first Peer of the Realm having Precedency of all Dukes not of the Royal Bloud and of all the great Officers of State. He hath Power to summon the Archbishop of York and the Bishops of his Province to a National Synod He is styled even by the King by the Grace of God and writes himself by Divine Providence as doth the Archbishop of York whereas other Bishops write by Divine Permission He hath the Title of Grace given him as Dukes have and of most Reverend Father in God and Metropolitan of all England The Coronation of the King hath anciently belonged to him it being resolved that wheresoever the Court was the King and Queen were the proper and Domestical Parishioners of the Archbishop of Canterbury The Bishop of London is accounted his Provincial the Bishop of Winchester his Chancellour and the Bishop of Rochester his Chaplain He hath under his Jurisdiction twenty one Suffragan Bishops seventeen in England and four in Wales His Clergies Tenths are 65.1 l. 18 s. 2¼ d. his Archbishoprick is valued in the King's Book at 2816 l. 17 s. 9¼ d. He may qualifie and retain eight Chaplains which is two more than a Duke may 2. The Archbishop of York pretended anciently to have all the Bishops of Scotland under his Inspection and that they should receive their Consecration from him and swear Canonical Obedience to his See he is allowed to write himself Metropolitan of England but not of All England as Canterbury doth but at length the Bishops of Scotland would not acknowlege any such Power to him and disowned all Obedience to him and had Archbishops of their own Anno 1466. leaving him in England but four Bishops His Bishoprick is now valued at 1609 l. 19 s. 2 d. And the Tenths of the Clergy to 1113 l. 17 s. 9 d. 10 b. 1. qu. he hath Precedency before all Dukes not of the Royal Bloud and before all great Officers of State except the Lord Chancellour or Lord Keeper He hath the Title of Grace and most Reverend Father in God and he writeth by Divine Providence He hath the Honour to crown the Queen and to be her perpetual Chaplain and hath great Privileges only Durham hath a peculiar Jurisdiction exempt from the See of York Having made this Digression we come next to speak of the Suffragan Bishops who though they have some peculiar Precedencies amongst themselves yet in general they are esteemed as Barons and from thence have the names of Lords Spiritual In their own Courts they have power to judge and pass Sentence alone and therefore they send forth their Writs in their own name and not in the King 's In whatever Princes Dominions they are their Episcopal Dignity and Degree is owned In Parliament they Vote in all things except in matter of Life and Limb. They have the Title of Lord are styled Right Reverend Fathers in God and write by Divine Permission They may qualifie 6 Chaplains which are as many as a Duke and are Barons and Peers of the Realm And as Spiritual Barons precede all under the Degree of a Viscount and are placed on the King 's Right Hand in Parliament All Church-men are prohibited the wearing of Swords and a Priest the Order of Knighthood § 2. Of Barons Temporal We may observe that the word Baron is variously derived some from the Greek 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 some from Baro which is the same with Vir in Latine and with Varon in the Spanish so that Baron signifies a notable or principal man thus anciently the Burgesses of London were called Barons as those of the Cinque-Ports now are but leaving the Name to speak of the Person a Baron the Archbishops excepted is a Dignity next to a Viscount and though according to Cambden they are not by our Common Laws allowed to be of the Degree of Nobility yet this of a Baron may be by Tenure for the Title of Baron by Patent which is under the Broad-Seal of England is Status Gradus Dignitas and being by the King 's Writ summoned as Members of the higher House of Parliament they are thereby made Nobles and Peers of the Realm As they are Barons without any other Distinction they wear a Coronet by the Ordinance of King Charles the 2d having six Balls or Pearls set close to the Border at equal distance and have their peculiar Parliament Robes which have two doublings of white Furr Thus far of Noble Men. CHAP. IX Of Noble Women and first of the Queen THere are three sorts of Queens 1. A Queen-Sovereign to whom the Crown descends by Birth-right and is equal in Power to a King if she marry she is Sovereign to her Husband and he her Subject in England though he be an Emperour 2. The Queen-Consort She hath very great Privileges and the Laws set so high a value on her as to make it High Treason to conspire her Death or violate her Chastity her Robes are the same with a Sovereign Queen She sits in State by the King keeps her Court and hath the same General Officers as the King hath though she be an Alien she needs no Act of Parliament to natralize her the Crown taking away that defect She hath the same Honour performed to her that the King hath as well from Foreigners as Subjects 3. The Queen-Dowager She hath the same Honour done to her also and takes place next the Queen-Consort nor doth she lose her Title of Queen though she marry a private Gentleman as Queen Katharine Widow to Henry the 5th who though she married Owen Tudor Esq yet she maintained her Action at Law as Queen of England So in King Edward the 6th's Time Sir Thomas Seymer Lord high Admiral having married the Queen Dowager to Henry the 8th she denied Precedency to her Sister in Law the Lord Protectour's Wife as belonging to her as Queen which was aggravated so high that it proved the untimely Deaths of those two famous Men.
