MY LORD THE welfare of Mankind hath so necessary a Dependance upon Laws and the Administration of Justice that by the Vote of all Ages The Profession of the Law hath ever been rank't amongst the most Honorable Callings Perhaps in the Judgment of many it would not have become any Person less eminent than Cicero to have said Cedant Arma Togae And yet if a good Peace be the end and only justifiable ground of War and if it be true what Philosophy teacheth us That the End is always more noble than the Means I do not well see how the Consequence will be avoided in Favour and Preferrence of the Gown But this small Treatise hath nothing to do with such Polemical Debates It only designs to set down and enumerate those Illustrious Families of our Nation which have been raised to Honor and Wealth by the Profession of the Law The very Nature of the Subject does in a manner entitle it to your Lordships Protection who are in your self the greatest Example of this kind and the greatest Ornament of the Law in this or any Age. Others have owed their Preferments in Honor and Estate to the Law To which your Lordship is much more a Creditor than a Debtor When we consider your Nobility of Extraction Eminency of Parts and above all your Inviolable Integrity we are all bound to confess that you brought with you more Honor to the Gown than you receive from it But these great Truths are not fit to be spoken by so mean a Person as I am who shall be too much honored in being permitted to lay my self with this small Tribute at your Lordships Feet and to make a Profession of being My Lord Your Honors most Obedient and most humble Servant H. Philipps TO THE READER THE Method I have taken is first of all to Enumerate so many of the present Nobility of England and such Englishmen whose Titles of Honor are in Scotland and Ireland of which there are but few as by the Study and Practice of our Laws eminent Preferments and Places of Trust and Profit relating thereunto are risen and advanced to such their Dignities and according to the times of their respective Creations have placed them with all Circumspection Yet I do not insist that they are ranked without any Error but submit it to the Judgment of those better read in Matters of that Nature It may be Objected That I ought not to have preferred the Scots and Irish Nobility any otherwise than according to such English Honors as they are here invested with and truely they ought not but in regard they were but few I thought it would not be improper to place them next after our English Nobility according to their Titles The next Degree are the Baronets which being an Hereditary Title I have with the like Care placed them persuant to the Date of their several Patents And as to the Knights and Esquires forasmuch as there is not any material Precedency claimed or used I have placed those Degrees promiscuously as they came to my hands without the least design or intention of Injury to them or any of them and hope it will be so taken There have been many Families both of Nobility and Gentry as have been raised by the means above-mentioned besides such as I have expressed in this Book who are now become Extinct as to their Names though perhaps their Estates have been Vnited to some other Families by Daughters and Heirs but being it is difficult to point particularly at such Families to whom such Estates were carriâ—d and least it might be offensive I have not in the least meddled therewith THE NOBILITY THE first who laid the Foundation of that Noble and Flourishing Family of the Howards was William Howard one of the Judges of the Court of Common-Pleas in the Reigns of the two first Edwards From which William are directly descended Henry Howard Duke of Norfolk Earl of Arundel Surry Norfolk and Norwich and Earl Marshal of England c.
