Lords and Kings THe Isle of Wight abutting on the coast of Hampshire was taken from the English by William Fitz-Osborne Earle of Hereford in the time of William Duke of Normandy and King of England who thereupon became the first Lord therof After whose death the proscription of his sonne Roger it fell unto the Crowne and was by Henry the second bestowed upon the family of the Ryvers Earles of Devon On the extinction of which line it fell againe unto the Crowne in the time of King Edward the first and in the same hath since continued giving the title onely of one King and one Lord to two Potent subjects Now for the Lords and King they are these here following A.

THE PREFACE TO THE ENSUING CATALOGUE of Arch-Bishops and Bishops THE ●aith of Christ being here planted as ●aith Gilda● tempore summo Tiberii Caesaris towards the latter end of Tiberius Caesar was as it seemes concealed and hidden ●ill the time of Lucius who publikely making profession of it procured three Archiepiscopall seates to be erected at Yorke Caer-Leon upon Vsk and London for the North West and Southerne parts and suffragan Bishops to be allotted and assigned unto each of them Of these and their successors wee have little Constat onely some foot-steps in some places whereby we may discerne the ruine of religion which had beene made here by the Saxons But when the Saxons were converted to the Christian faith they grew more zealous of the same then formerly they had beene a verse from it and gave it suddenly a generall and unanimous admittance Which being done that part of England which was then in their possession was divided into the two Provinces of Cante●bury and Yorke the ancient Britons

on the vacancie thereof they nominate their designed Bishop unto the King who having given his Royall assent dismisseth him to the Arch-Bishop of Yorke for his consecration This is perhaps the reason why the Bish. of Man is no Lord of Parliament because not at the Kings disposing none having suffrage in that house but those that hold immediately of the King himselfe nor is it reason that they should Whether the Bishop of this Isle was anciently a Su●●ragan to the See of Yorke I can hardly say I finde ordered in the Act of Parliament 33. H. 8. c. 31. wherein the Bishoprick of Chester was made a member of that Province that that of Man should be reputed of it also which may perhaps perswade one that it was otherwise before The Diocese hereof containeth onely 17 Parishes of the which five are Market Townes the rest Villages the people of them all being very conformable unto the rites and ceremonies of the Church of England Now for the Bishops of this See I can meete with few and therefore shall desire those who are more conversant in the businesse of this Isle to supply this want and make a perfect catalogue of the Bishops of Man out of the fragments here ensuing Bishops of Man   ✚ ✚ ✚ A.

THE THIRD TABLE OR A CATALOGVE OF All the Dukes Marquesses and Earles which have been in England since the first entrance of the NORMANS TOGETHER With the honourary Offices which they or any of 〈◊〉 have enjoyed in their severall times The Preface to the ensuing Catalogne of Dukes Marquesses and Earles THe Kings of England as they are the fountaine of all authority and jurisdiction in their owne Dominions so are they the foun●aine also of all civill honour which they dispose of and dispence as to them seemes best King● have so much of God in them whose Deputies they are on earth as many times where they finde merit and desert to raise the poore out of the dust that they may set them with the Princes even with the Princes of their people Now for their honourary attributes which by our Kings have beene conferred upon their Subjects the ancientest are those of Earle and Baron the Kings of England of the Norman race not giving unto any the stile of Duke untill that Edw. the third created his sonne Edward the black Prince Duke of Cornwall Anno 1336. As for the title of Marquesse that was made honourary by King Richard the second who first created his great favourite Robert de Vere then Earle of Oxford Marquesse of Dublyn as afterwards he made his Cosen German Iohn de Bausort one of the sonnes of Iohn of Gaunt by Katherine Swinfort then Earle of Somerset the first Marquesse Dorset But that of Earles hath beene as ancient in this Kingdome as the line of Normandy William the Conqu●r●r advancing many to that honour at his first en●●ance on this State both to reward them for their service and oblige them to him Of which ranke were the Earles of Arund●ll Chester Cornwall Kent Oxford with some others Anno 1067. being the next yeere after he attained the Kingdome Which with the other Earles of ancient creation were commonly endowed de tertio denario placitorum Comitatus with the third penny of the pleas of that County wherof they were Earles the other two parts being accompted by the Sheriffe the Vice-Comes into the Exchequer for the Kings use And though we mean to go no lower in our following Catalogue then the stile of Earle yet by the way we may take notice that Viscount here became an honourary title in the time of K. H. 6. who in the 18. of his raigne advanced Sir Iohn Beaum●nt unto that honour and gave him place above all Barons as Richard 2. gave his new Marquesses precedencie before all Earles Now at the ennobling of deserving persons into these high dignities it is and hath beene of later times the custome of the Kings of England to give unto them some set pension for the support of their estate which is now generally brought unto this proportion that Viscounts have a fee of 20. markes Earles of 20. li. Marquesses of 40. markes and Dukes of 40. li. assigned unto them out of some part or other of the Kings revenues Which bounty I observe not to have beene used in the creation of a Ba●on excepting onely that it pleased his sacred Majesty now being when hee created the righ● honourable Montjoy Blount now Earle of Newport L. Montjoy of Thurleston in the County of Darby to give unto him and his heires a fee of 20. markes per annum which I note here by reason of the singularity and rarenesse of it Nor have the Kings of England beene ●●customed to frame new honourary titles for the advancement of those men which are dear unto them but to preferre them before others of the same honourary ranke and order Henry the sixth bearing especiall affection unto Henry Beauchamp Earle of Warwick first made him the prime Earle of England or Praecomes Angliae And when he after made him Duke of Warwick hee ordered him to have precedencie next after the Duke of Norfolke and before the Duke of Buckingham The ●ame King Henry making his halfe-brother Edmund of H●dham Earle of Richmond gave him the place above all Earles and next of all unto the Dukes Thus did King Iames of blessed memory conferre upon the Earle of N●●tingham on his surrendry of the place and Office of Lord Admirall the seniority and precedencie of the Mowbraies out of which house he was extracted during the life of the said Earle And thus his sacred Majesty now being when he created the right honourable the Vis●ount Walling ford Earle of Banbury gave him precedencie before all Earles created since his Majesties happy comming to the Crowne And in the Patent of creation of the right honourable the Lord Montjoy 3. Can there was a clause of precedencie inserted before all the Barons of that yeere by which hee forthwith had the place both of the Lord Craven and the Lord Falconbridge though created before him So absolute a power have our English Monarchs in the dispensing of their honours and ma●shalling those persons whom they have advanced to these high dignities As for the Female sex they have no reason to complaine that they have beene neglected or omitted in the distributing of these honourary rewards and dignities some of them having had the happinesse to taste the bounty of the Prince in the highest honours For thus the Lady Margaret d● Brotherton daughter of Thomas of Brotherton Earle of Norfolke was by King Richard the second made Dutchesse of Norfolke Anno
