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 founâ—aine also of all civill honour which they dispose of and dispence as to them seemes best Kingâ— 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 Conquâ—râ—r advancing many to that honour at his first enâ—â—ance on this State both to reward them for their service and oblige them to him Of which ranke were the Earles of Arundâ—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 Beaumâ—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 Baâ—on excepting onely that it pleased his sacred Majesty now being when hee created the righâ— 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 â—â—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 â—ame King Henry making his halfe-brother Edmund of Hâ—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 Nâ—â—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 Visâ—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 maâ—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 dâ— Brotherton daughter of Thomas of Brotherton Earle of Norfolke was by King Richard the second made Dutchesse of Norfolke Anno

THE SECOND PART OF THE CATALOGVE OF BISHOPS CONTAINING THE SVCCESSION of the Arch-Bishops and Bishops of the Province of YORKE Printed at London 1641. YORKE and the Arch-Bishops there YORKE is the ancientest Metropolitan See at this time in England so made at the first generall admittance of the Gospel in the time of Luctus the first Arch-Bishop by him here established named Sampson and he who held out last in the Britons time being called Tadiacus We have a constat onely of two more viz Taurinus and Pyrannus of all the rest no name or memory to be found amongst our writers On the conversion of the Saxons this See was by Pope Gregory designed to its former honour which not long after took eâ—â—ect when as Paulinus was made Arch-Bishop of Yoâ—ke Anno 622. In which designment of the said Pope Gregory the Metropolitan of Yorke was to have as many Suffragan Bishops as he of London for there the See was to be placed by Pope Gregories order to either of them twelve apeece which if they ever were erected in this Northerne Province were certainly of meane estate not able to support the honour and consequently swallowed up by the greater Churches of Yorke and Durham which two were onely left here a long time together untill Carlile first was made a Bishopricke by K. Henry the first as Chester afterwards by K. Henry 8. But that which was the greatest addition to the Province of Yorke was the direct and Metropolitan jurisdiction which it claimed and had over all the Bishops of Scotland who did from hence receive their conâ—ecration and swore Canonicall obedience unto this See In this regard and that it was conceived that by Pope Gregories institution he of the two Arch-Bishops which was first confirmed should have precedencie over the other there grew a great contention there abouts betweene them and much recourse was made to the Court of Rome At last it was determined in favour of the See of Canterbury yet so that still it might he lawfull to the Arch-Bishop of Yorke to write himselfe Primâ—te of England as the other taking to himselfe the stile of Primate of all England as it still continueth The next misfortune which besell the See and Metropolitan of Yorke was that the Bishops of Scotland did in fine withdraw themselves from his obedience and had Arch-Bishops of their owne This hapned whilest George Nevill was Arch-Bishop here who was advanced unto this See An. 1466. not above ninescore yeeres agoe and then upon pretence that in consideration of the many and most deadly warres betweene both Realmes the Metropolitan of Yorke could beare no fatherly affection to his sonnes of Scotland However the Archbishop still retaines hisâ—wonted place having precedencie before all Dukes not being of the royall bloud as also before all the great Officers of state except the Lord Chancellour For the Cathedrall Church of Yorke it was first built or begun rather by King Edwyn King of the North-Humbers Anno 627. but finished by King Oswald who succeeded him and dedicated to Saint Peter But this of their foundation being destroyed by fire and by the fury of the Danes at the first entrance of the Normans that which now standeth was erected in the place thereof by Arch-Bishop Thomas the 25. of this See and after by degrees adorned and beautified by his successors The Diocese hereto belonging containeth in it the two Counties of Yorke and Nottingham and in them both 581 Parishes of which 336. are impropriations For government whereof it hath foure Arch-Deacons viz. of Yorke Cleveland East-riding and Nottingham This Bishoprick was at the first rated in the Kings bookes 2035. li. 14. s. 6. d. but now since the great diminution made by King Henry 8. 1609. li. 19. s. 2. d.
