Ireland a County Palatine and granted to the Earles of Desmond all Royol libertyes excepting Wreck by fire Forestall and Treasure trove This Wreck by fire is a pretty word yet Wreck by water had bin better But there is nothing of Wreck in the Case if you wil beleeve Camden who saies Brit. tit County of Kerry That King granted to the Earle all Regal Liberties except four Pleas namely of Burning Rape Forstal and Treasure trouve L About this time Henry Fitz f. 380. a. Alan Earle of Arundel dyed in whom the Sirname of a most noble family ended which had flourished in this Honor for above 300. years from Richard Fitzalan who being descended from the Abbanets ancient Earles of Arundel and Sussex in the reign of King Edward 1. obtained the title of Earle by reason of the possession of Arundel Castle without Creation He had 3 daughters by his wife Katherine Daughter to Thomas Grey Marques Dorset all whom he out lived Henry a young man of great hope who dyed at Brussels Jean Wife to the Lord Lumley and Mary who being married to Thomas Howard Duke of Norfolk brought forth Philip in her right Earle of Arundel Here the Albanets is mistaken for Albeneys or D'aubeneys and the reign of Edward the 1. for Henry 1. And when he comes to particularize the 3. Daughters of Richard Fitzalan he names Henry a young man Joan and Mary Of which thus Camden Sr John Fitz Alan Lord of Clun Cam. Brit. f. 309 who having married one of the sisters and heyrs of Hugh de Albeney fifth Earle of Arundel and Sussex his great Grandson Richard by reason of his possession of the Castle of Arundel was by Parl. adjudged to be E. of Arundel 11 Hen. 6.

And afterward he says King James made f. 428. b. Thomas Arundell of Devonshire Lord Arundell of Warder This to a common Reader will seem to be two severall Thomas Arundells For VVarder is in Wiltshire and his principall Seat and to Devonshire he had no relation Besides our Author makes not that honorable mention of a Person of that singular valor and Desert who had gain'd so much honor abroad to the English Nation as he justly deserv'd For among other examples of his Gallantry he threw down with his own hand the Turkish standard at the seige of Strigomium in Hungary now called Gran and encourag'd his Ensign Rook Church to advance the Christian Colors in its place Which with much more in his due praise will best appear by Quen Elizabeths commendatory Letters of him to the Emperor Rudolphus and his Imperial Majesties Letters Patent of Creation a true Copy of the first and an abstract of the other which is vere long are here exhibited and deserve a place in the best of English Cronicles Elizabetha Dei gratiâ Angliae Franciae et Hiberniae Regina Fidei Defensor c.

to the vertue and loyalty of that worthy person who suffered both imprisonment and sequestration for his fidelity to his Soveraign And when his memory should deservedly live with honour it is most injuriously blacken'd with this cloud of infamy LXVIII Among men of Note in King Charles the firsts time As some are deservedly nominated why are others of at leastequal desert omitted such were Spencer Earle of Northampton f. 603. b. The Earl of Litchfeild and his two brothers The Lord Francis Villier Sr John Smith who rescued the Standard royal Col Charles Cavendish brother to the Earl of Devonshire Col Thomas Howard two of them Sr John Digby Sr Henry Lingein c. It s strange also the Continuashould forget to name Sr Bevil Greenvile Elder Brother to Sr Richard a Person of Known and Eminent Loyalty and who did gallantly in His Majesties service LXIX The Earl of Eglington the Father of the Lord Mountgomery with one f. 622. b. l. ult of his brothers were taken at Dunbarton by one Captain Crook of Col Berrys And so t is left imperfect and a new Section followes LXX Speaking of the Battle of Worcester f. 626. b. 3. Sept. 1651 and the Rebels entring and plundering that City he says There was not an inhabitant in Worcester friend or foe left worth a Shilling of what they had in the Town Which is strangely hyperbolical and beyond all likelyhood of truth though the Conquerors were never so rapacious severe LXXI At Newport in the pursuit there ibid. were taken among others the now Earle of Shrewsbury c. Here our Continuator is again mistaken For the Earle of Shrewsbury was not taken at Newport nor was at all there but from Boscobel escaped to his house at Longport in Shropshire where the Rebels searched narrowly for him but missed him and from thence he made a shift to passe over Sea LXXII It was resolv'd by my Lord of Derby f 627. a. that they should make what speed they could and recover a place called White Ladyes before morning My Lord of Derby advis'd the King first to goe to Boscobel where himself had been concealed after the Battle of VViggen but Mr Charles Giffard the Kings chief guide in that sad night prevail'd to conduct Him first to VVhite Ladyes LXXIII His Majesty being at Mr Woolfs Madeley understood that the f 627. b. t passes over the water and the river Wye were so guarded that it was unseasonable for him to adventure into Wales Here our Continuator is out again in his Geographics For there is no part of the river Wye or Wey within 24 myles of Madeley but Severn runs neer it which was the River His Majesty designed to passe over LXXIV That his Majesty by Ladders ibid. ascended into the top of that most celebrated Oake There were no Ladders in the Case for the King aescnded the Oake by the help of Col Carlos and two of the Pendrels and his own agility LXXV George Yates for Francis Yates Ibid. that 's more venial So is Col Windhams house at Trent in Dorsetshire for Somersetshire LXXVI Having finish'd though imperfectly the relation of his Majesties miraculous f. 628. b. Escape from Worcester he concludes with no lesse then 52. persons being privy thereto I have nothing to object against the number beleeving it could not be lesse but doubtlesse there were many which did act Gallantly in that honorable and loyal undertaking which he hath not mentioned whose loyalty ought to have its due LXXVI This year 1652 dyed the Lady f. 635. a. Elianor Davys who was the Fifth Daughter of the Lord George Audley Earle of Castlehaven and was married to Sr John Davys the Kings first Serjeant at Law in England c. Our Continuator endeavors by many Encomiums of this Lady to raise her to the reputation of a Prophetess when as she was generally reputed little better then a mad Woman and was actually in Bethlem Hospital by order if I mistake not of King See Heylins life of Archb Laud. Charles the first For I remember whilst she was yet living this Anagram pass'd of her and is printed in Camdens Remains Dame Elianor Davis Never so mad a Lady Then he mistakes her Fathers name For we read not of any Audley to be Earle of Castlehaven but Touchet at least he should have said George Lord Audley And by the Kings first Serjeant at Law in England an unwary Reader wil possibly misunderstand he was the first Serjeant at Law that any King of England ever had whereas most men know they are of great antiquity We read indeed that Sr Iohn Anne 1606. Davis fut primier Serjeant Del Roy K. James where primier ought to be understood as eldest or principal LXXVIII An Army having been sent under f. 644 a. the Marquesse of Piaenella and the Earle of Quince Commander of the French forces in Italy by Charles Emanuel Duke of Savoy against his Protestant subjects in the valleys of Peidmont upon occasion of some high displeasure taken against them and the souldiers left to their own unbridled licence having committed many outrages and massacres upon the poor miserable people Cromwel taking this opertunity appointed a solemne day of humiliation and caused a large contribution to be gather'd for them throughout the Nation c. Here the Continuator describes the Duke of Savoys punishment of his subjects but does not expresse their crime a course that may condemn all the Tribunals in the world of barbarousness and injustice About the time that Mr Stouppe Agent for these Piedmontois came hither to addresse himself to Cromwel in their behalf which was in the year 1655 There was published in London A faithfull Account of the late commotions in the valleys of Piedmont wherein we read That the Duke of Savoy had given his Protestant subjects an absolute toleration of Religion which grace they so much abused that they reviled the Catholic especially their Masse and religious people as at Tour they dressed an Asse in a Monks habit and afterwards in a rage fell furiously upon two Priests at Fenil in the lower vale of Lucerne and slew them at the Altar as they were saying Masse This with much more of their tumultuous carriage and the Dukes lenity first and then Justice towards them you may read at large in that printed paper which seems in a great measure to justifie the Dukes proceedings in that affair He omits the sum that was collected here upon that account which was 38097l 7s 3d 20233 17 0 paid out by Bils of Exch. 17863 10 3 remaining in ready mony at the death of Oliver LXXIX The Continuator speaks of a Plot f. 646. b. against Olivers person the criminals said to be of this Plot were Miles Sindercom a cashierd and dissatisfyd Army man Toop one of Cromwels lifeguard Cecil and Bois the last of whom a Priest belonging to Don Alonso de Cardenas once Leigir Embassador here
