Cronicle of the Scots His right Sirname was Glanvile he did not write a Cronicle de Scotis but a History de Sanctis Alex. Essebiensis Prior of the monastery 55. of Regular Canons lived in the year 1360.

He was born in Ches-shire William Abington Esquire hath 91. written His name was Habington c. These Notes have been with some pains collected out of Leland Bale Pits and other Authors of good authority to shew the mistakes and anticronisms of our Author even in his first Effort who thinking to give a greater reputation to his Book has not without much suspition of vanity praefix'd a Catalogue of 93. Authors Ancient and Modern out of whom he saies his Chronicle is collected of which number it may justly be suspected he never saw above the one half otherwise he could not without great inadvertence so grosly have mistaken what is here noted Besides if his wine had bin good it would not have needed such a Bash ANIMADVERSIONS on the Catalogue of the Nobility Bishops Baronets c. BEfore we come to the Book it self the Continuator has thought fit to entertain the Reader with an Antipast consisting of a Catalogue of the Nobility Bishops and Baronets of England which is so ill cook'd that it must needs offend the understanding Readers stomac especially that dish of the Baronets Thomas Howard Duke of Norfolk Baron John Howard his Ancestor created Duke of Norfolk by King Rich. 3d July 4. 1483. whose ancestor Sr John Howard Knight was created a Baron in 1461. by King Edward 4. and afterwards by Richard 3. was created Duke June 28. 1483. If this were true there should be two Dukes of Norfolk and both Howards created by the same K. Rich within 7. daies one of another But this Baron John Howard and Sr Iohn Howard was one and the same person not created Baron but made so by Writ of Summons For thus Camden Iohn Lord Howard who was summond Brit. fol. 483. a Baron to Parliament by Edw. 4 was created Duke of Norfolk by Rich. 3d. and his son Thomas created Earle of Surry It is an ill proof of the Continuators skil in Heraldry thus to mistake the Pedegree of the Primier Peer of the Realm William Cavendish Duke of Baron Bolsomer twice for Bolsover Edward Fines Earle of Lincoln for Fiennes His true name is Clinton William Ley Earle of Marleburgh whose father James was created Earle Iames Ley was the first Earle Henry his son the 2d and Iames the 3d who was slain at Sea in the late war with the Dutch and leaving no issue the title went to his uncle William yet living Henry Germaine Earle of St Albans and Baron Germaine of St Edmundsbury should be Iermyn in both places Archbishops and Bishops Gilbert Shelden for Sheldon John Couzens for Cousin William Fuller consecrated Bishop of in Ireland add Limerick Aº 1663. Davies Bishop of Landaff add Francis BARONS Nevil Baron of Abergavenny created by King Harold the second A grosse mistake The rise of the Lord Bergavenny's honor was by writ of Summons and not by Patent of Creation VVilliam Beauchamp de Bergavenny was first called by writ in 16. Ric. 2d. And Edw. Nevile de Bergavenny was first Summond to Parliament in 29. Hen. 6. James Barfue Baron Norris for Bertue Smith Baron Carington of Worton in England and Viscount Carington of Barefore in Ireland which should be Baron of Wotton-VVawen in England and Viscount Berisford in Ireland William Widdington Baron Widdington for VViddrington John Freshville Baron Freshville and elsewhere Fretswell for Freschevile Thomas Windzor Baron Windzor for VVindesor The Lord Howard of Estrich for Escrick in severall places of the Continuation BARONETS In the Catalogue of Baronets about twenty are totally omitted divers are postpon'd from their true place whereby disputes have arisen touching precedency For say some what more obliging authority can you have in that behalfe Then the English Cronicle not considering that these Catalogu's are published without any licence or authority from the Kings at Armes the proper Registers Approvers and Judges herein Again many of these Baronets names are so grosly mistaken that the Reader had need be a little skilld in Divinails to raise a conjecture who are meant by them for Example num num  137 Sr. Iohn Hornet 184 Sr. VVill Skerington 323 Sr. Iohn Rarisly 468 Sr. Hugh Smithford 558 Sr. Charles Koyde c.

Court of Iustice were Mr Robert Woodcock Captain Henry Mallory and Sr Humfrey Bennet The first was Mr Thomas Woodcock since Deservedly Knightted by his Majesty for his eminent service and fidelity to Him LXXX Cromwell in all hast sends for f. 651. b. the Lord Mayor Tichburn was then the man and Aldermen and this was in the year 1658. And in the Catalogue of Mayors and Sherifs at the end Robert Tichburn is placed Mayor in the year 1656. Which last is the truth for in 1658 Ireton was Mayor Now come we to the year 1659 f. 657. which takes up neer thirty leaves of paper and conteins more words though lesse substance than the seaven Kings Reigns next after the Cōquest of which the two first Henryes Reigned 70. years 'T is true that year comprehends several great Actions and in particular that greatest most happy and most memorable the restoring His sacred Majesty to His Crown and Dignity by the faithfull endeavours of the never-enough honoured General Monk after deservedly created Duke of Albemarle with the concurrence and assistance of many loyall subjects But that the relation of this Noble design and atchievment should be stuffed with so many perticular conferences placing and displacing petty Officers Letters Messages and Debates of private persons seems in most mens judgments very superfluous and not agreeable to the nature of a Chronicle which requires a more compendious method and properly admits of nothing common and trivial I shall endeavour says a late ingenious Historian with plain and Milton f. 3. lightsom brevity to relate well and orderly things worth the noting so as may best instruct and benefit them that read For allowing that prolix way of Chronologizing if all the memorable actions since the Conquest and there were many such had been thus perticularly expatiated 't is more then ptobable the Book would have bulk'd it self into three greater volums then Foxes Martyrs and burn'd the edge of most Readers patience in its perusal LXXXI Speaking of the Lords in Parliament f. 730. a. proclaiming his Majesty in the Palace yard 1660 he adds Mr Bish one of the Heralds and Mr Rily that officiated as King at Armes By this you would Judge Mr Bysshe not Bish to be som smal pursuivant at Armes who was in those times Garter principal King at Armes and both then and since a member of the house of Commons a person of worth and since Knighted by the name of Sr Edward Bysshe and Mr Rily was but Norroy and much his inferior both in quality and literature LXXXII In the 4th Edition our Continuator f. 807. says Knights of the Bath are never made but at a Coronation Now he has better bethought himselfe and says Likewise in order to their attendance f. 758. a. upon this grand solemnity the Coronation there were created 68 Knights of the Holy Trinity called Knights of the Bath they being a Society of Knights never made but at a creation of a Prince of Wales or Duke of York Our Continuator has given these Knights of the Bath a new title For they were never til now called Knights of the Holy Trinity And he might have found in Mr Seldens Titles of Honor and Camdens Brit. f. 172. Britannia That Knights of the Bath have also been made at Royal Marriages Christning or Knighting the Prince or other of the Kings Sons and such like occasions Note likewise that the Foundations of the Colleges of the the Universities especially of Oxford are for the most part mistaken either in the point of time or names of the Founders Which I attempted not alwaies to rectify both in that it cxceeded my skil but cheifly because the History of that University as I am informed is now in the Presse Which will cleer those mistakes with much certainty and satisfaction being perform'd by the hand of that Faithfull and most industrious Searcher of Antiquities Mr Anthony Wood of Merton College Nonsences and false Syntax The last King was Oswald after f. 6. b. whom Egbert being in a sort the fountain of f. 18. a those which at this day we term the Common of Lawes Nor he kept not his word twice f. 34. b in the same page such as one as in this Kings time f. 89. b brake out most loathsome He would come with power to f. 86. b aid the King take order for guarding the Ports which intend to hinder his landing but finding The Viscount Montacute marcheth f. 204. b. towards King Henry and by the way encountreth the Lord Hungerford at Hegley Moor but he with Lord Basse upon the charge ran away leaving Sr Raph Darcy alone with his own Regiment who were valiantly fighting dyed To utter the impoverishing Of f. 83. a the Kingdome And here they bind the King to f. 86. a lose to their loyal obedience whensoever he infringed this Charter But he with Lord Basse ran away f. 204. b.
