stipendiis nobis militatum veneris teque in apertis praeliis in Civitatum Castrorum oppugnationibus ita fortitèr ac strenuè tegesseris ut omnibus Nationibus admirationi Nobisque a Serenissimo Principe Archiduce Mathia Fratre nostro charissimo a primariis Exercitus nostri Fraefectis majorem in modum commendatus fueris insigni hoc inter alia fortitudinis exemplo spectato quod in expugnatione oppidi agnatici juxta Strigonium vexillum Turcis tua manu eripueris in principiis tempore pugnae te spectandum praebueris c. Motu itaque proprio c. te supradictum Thomam Arundelium qui jam antè Comitum consanguin itatem à Majoribus acceptam in Anglia obtines omnesque singulos liberos haeredes posteros descendentes tuos legitimos natos utriusque sexus aeternaque serie nascituros etiam veros Sacri Romani Imperii Comites Comitissas creavimus fecimus nominavimus c. Datum in Arce nostra Regia Pragae die 14. mensis Dec. An. Dom. 1595. RUDOLPHUS At the bottom of the Patent are found these words Erectio in Comitem Imperii pro Thomâ Arundelio LIV. And two Fosters brothers of the Earle of Kildare whose death f. 408. b. How could these Fosters be brothers to the Earle of Kildare whose name was Fitz-Girald But we must lay the fault on the Printer and guess he intended to say Foster brothers LV. In the Town of Ossestry in Wales f. 419. b. 200 houses consumed with fire By this he intends Oswestre or Oswaldstre in Shropshire It taking Cam. Brit. f. 597. name from Saint Oswald King of the Northumbers LVI In the first year of King Iames in f. 44◠b. a Parliament then holden it was enacted That neither Archbishop nor Bishop should alienate grant or demise or in any sort convey no not to the King himself any of their Houses lands tenements or hereditaments being percels of the possession of his Archbishopric or Bishopric By this Act of Parliament as it is here misrecited the unknowing Reader wil judge that neither Archbishop nor Bishop has power to demise or let Leases of any of their lands c. to any person whatsoever Whereas this Act of 1 Iac. 3. recites that of 18. Eliz. whereby they are enabled to demise or let Leases for XXI years or 3 lives and disable them onely from alienating giving granting or demising any of their Mannors lands c. to the King his heirs or Successors LVII Under the title of Works of Piety f. 443. b. our Author tels us that VVhere K. James at his coming found onely four Judges in the Courts of Law at VVestminster he added a fifth with the like allowance as the former had By this expression he would insinuate as if there never had bin but 4 Iudges in each Court Whereas our Records testify that both in Edward the thirds Hen. See Orig juridic in the Cron. Series 6. and Edwards the 4th time there were usually five Judges sometimes 6. or 7. in the Court of Common Pleas. LVIII In the year 1609 so great a Frost as f. 445. a. much herbage in gardens were destroyd especially Artichokes and Rosemary This had been fitter for an Almanac then a Cronicle since winter scapes us without such lamentable disasters LVIII The Isles of Bermudas are above f. 448. a. three thousand three hundred Leagues distant from England This out-goes Truth full two thirds it being but 930 Leagues or there abouts ANIMADVERSIONS on the Continuation LIX THat the Lords Iustices in Ireland f. 473. a. delivering some Priests and Friars into the hands of Pursuivants seized their Houses of Religion into the Kings hands two Priests hang'd themselves at the apprehension of this as they then call'd it persecution This the Continuator places in the year 1631. and probably many persons are yet alive who might remember it had it been a truth But I can meet with none that own it for such Therefore it must at best pass as apocryphal LX. This year 1634 Generall Alldringer f. 474. b. was slain at Lansbut and the whole Army totaly routed by the King of Hungary and the Cardinal Infaule at the Battle of Norlington This General Aldringer was not slain at Lansbut but neer Lanshut and before the Battle of Nortlinghen not Norlington which was 6 Sept. 1634. where the King of Hungary and Cardinal Infante not Infaule were victors LXI The French by their insolencies f. 475. a. at Diet and Tellemont inflamed and encouraged the peoples hearts against them Here Diet being false written for Diest and the Character not changed a common Reader would think he meant the French were insolent at their meat but Diest and Tellemont are two Townes in lower Germany LXII Our Continuator tels us that in f. 532. a. the year 1640 the Parliament passed a Pole Bill therein the whole Kingdome was assessed and among others Knights Bachilers at 201 Esquires at 10l and every Gentleman dispending 100l Per An. 15l Which last is doubtlesse a mistake though the Act is not Printed among our Statutes for 't were very unreasonable a Gentleman of 110l a year should pay more then an Esquire who seldome has lesse that 500l Per An. LXIII The Religion of the Scots is founded f. 532. b. on more pious Principles then that of the Irish I hope our Continuator does not think it was any branch of their pious Principles to sell their own native King Besides he says in the very next page It was generally said the late Insurection we must not call it Rebellion in Scotland gave the first encouragement to that in Ireland the pretences were many of them the same namely Liberty of Conscience LXIV The King having set up his Standard f. 540. b. at Nottingham moved on slowly with those forces he had through Darby shire Staffordshire Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire and so on to Shrewsbury Our Continuator it seems is but meanly skild in the Geography of his owne Country For if he were to go from the Royal Exchange to VVestminster he might in like order go to Ludgate Long-lane Cateaten street Threadnedle street and so on to Westminster LXV He tells us of the surrendry of f. 567. a. Oxford in pursuance of a Trinity wherein among other Commissioners for the beseiged he names Colonel Gosvell and Thomas Chrisly Esquier Two strange names mistaken I beleeve for Colonel Gosnel or Gosnold and Thomas Chichley LXVI Cromwel and Ireton who yet wish'd well to the King did what they f. 574. b. could to oppose I think few but the Continuator himself do beleeve they ever wish'd well to Him I 'm sure we could never hear or see any visible tokens of it LXVII Our Continuator puts down among f. 593. a. those ever to be detested Judges of King Charles the first of blessed memory Thomas Adams Alderman of London Which is an unpardonable injury
