often changed and varied according to occasion and the Princes pleasure Vnto them also to the Soveraignes I meane or to their Deputies it appertaines to choose and nominate into the Order whom they esteeme to bee most worthy of that honour and like to bee the greatest ornament unto it Yet so that sixe at least of the said fellowes doe conveene at the Election and concurre in it the residue of them being all warned to bee there present and such as faile of their attendance without just cause such as the Soveraigne shall approve to bee amerced In their elections two things there are which they especially observe First that the partie nominated bee a Gentleman of name and armes for three descents both by the Fathers side and by the Mothers For which cause when the Garter was reproachfully taken from the Lord William Paget by Dudley of Northumberland to give to Iohn his eldest sonne the Earle of Warwicke he used this colour to disguise that foule dishonour that the said Lord as the first raiser of his house was said to bee no gentleman of blood neither by Father nor by Mother as Sir Iohn Hayward tells the storie The second thing to be observed is that the partie nominated bee without spot or foule reproach as viz. not convict of Heresie nor attaint of treason nor by his Prodigalitie and riot decayed in his estate by meanes whereof hee is not able to conserve the honour of his Order nor such a one that ever fled in the day of battaile his Soveraigne Lord or his Lieutenant being in the Feild In all which cases a Knight elected and installed may also if it please the Soveraigne be degraded The partie chosen by the Prince if he bee a stranger is certified thereof soone after by Letters from the Soveraigne and many times the Statutes of that Order have beene sent unto him to consider of them whether or no he will accept of this election But this a matter meerely formall For commonly our Kings are first well assured of the parties good affection to them before they choose him and as for forreigne Princes it is a true note of Master Camdens that the most mighty of them have reputed it their chiefest honour to be chosen and admitted into this Companie as we have said before and shall see anon in the ensuing Catalogue If he accept it as no question but hee will then doth the Soveraigne forthwith send unto him by his Ambassadour and the chiefe Herald commonly the whole habit of the Order with the Garter and the Collar wherewith they doe invest him And on the other side the Prince or stranger so invested within convenient time send their sufficient Deputie with a mantle of blew Velvet to be installed in their roome at St. GEORGE'S Church at Windsore But if the partie chosen be a Subject of the Kingdome the Garter is delivered to him presently upon his election to signifie that he is chose into the Order Afterwards in the Chapter-house upon the reading of his Commission before the Soveraigne or his Deputie he is invested with his Robe and with his Hood Then followes the Installment performed with many grave and magnificent Ceremonies which done he doth receive the Collar of the Order These at their installations have alwayes an oath administred that to their power during the time they shall be fellowes of the Order they shall defend the honor quarrels rights and lordships of the Soveraigne and that they shall endeavor to preserve the honor of the said Order and all the statutes of it they shal well observe without fraud or Covin Which oath is by the natives of the kindome taken absolutely and in termes but many times by strangers relatively and by halfes in reference to some former Order So So when King Henry the third of France was by the Earle of Darby invested with the Garter Anno 1585 he tooke his oath to keepe the Statutes of the Order in all points Quae legibus Ordinis S. Spiritus S. Michaelis non adversantur wherein they were not opposite unto the Order of St. Michael the Holy Ghost to which he had bin sworn before Vpon which reason also Frederick King of Denmarke though he did joyfully accept the habit of the Order refused to take the oath at all because he had beene sworne before at his installation in the Order of Saint Michael to the King of France Being thus solemnely installed and seated in the place belonging to them in the Chappell their next care is to fasten an Escocheon of their Armes and hachments in a plate of mettall upon the backe of their said stalls which they remove according as themselves in Order are advanced higher And in that Order doe they also change the places of their banners swords and Helmets which are continually set over their said stalls during their being of the Order This onely is the difference that at the death of any of the Knights of this most noble Order their Plate of Armes is left for ever to that stall where last they sate to preserve their memory whereas the Banner Sword and Helmet are all taken downe and offered with all due solemnities the Offering made by such of the surviving Knights as by the Soveraigne shall be destinated to that service I said before that they remove their Plates and Hachments according as themselves in order are advanced higher in this Order they take place according to the antiquitie of their Creation and not according to their dignities titles and estates so that sometimes a Knight Bachelour hath place before an Earle or Baron as not long since wee had example in Sir Harry Lea Knight keeper of the Armorie Onely in honour unto strangers which bee Dukes or Sonnes and Brethren unto forreine Kings and Princes it is permitted that they take their roomes and places according to their qualitie Hitherto have we spoken of the Election of Saint GEORGES Knights and their admission to the Order A litle would be said now of the meanes and wayes whereby their roomes are voyded and their places destitute and they are three for either they are voyde by Death or by Degradation or by Cession and surrendrie The second of the three for here we will not speake of Death is Degradation a peece of Iustice more to bee commended where it may not than where it may bee spared The cases wherein Degradation is allowed of I have shewne already but the examples are but fewe William Lord Paget which was so scornfully degraded by Northumberland was by Qu. Mary with great honour restored againe unto his Order And Sir Iohn Fastolfe which for his valiantnesse had beene elected of the Order was by the Duke of Bedford under whom hee served and unto whom he was great Master of the Household devested in great anger of his GEORGE and GARTER because hee had departed from a battaile which the English lost without stroke stricken But
