side and if any shall object against me in this point unto him I will oppose either the force of time or the carelesnesse and lack of looking unto But customes are still like themselves nor must we detract from the authority of Kings who although they have such supereminent and undeterminate prerogative as that they may seeme sometimes to have of favour granted some things beside the Law yet it shall nor appeare them requested to have done or yet suffered to have been done any thing contrary to the custom of Stocks and Families so sometimes they not regarding the solemnities of Ceremonies and Charters have onely by their becks that I may so say suffered dignities and honours to be tranferred as in Ranulph Blundevill Earle of Chester and of Lincolne to be seene for the Earldome of chester he permitted after the manner to disceud to Iohn the Scot his Nephew by Maude the elder of his Sisters But the Earledome of Lincolne the King thereunto consenting he yet alive delivered unto Hawisia another of his Sisters then married to Robert Quincy by his Deede in the 7th yeare of Henry the third These things I say were of old and ancient time but at this day not so for such is the force of time and change in altering the formes of things as that in eating out of the old bringeth still in new so unto Earles whom we said in ancient time to have been rewarded with the third penny of the province whereof they were Earles to maintaine their honour and dignity a certaine some of money is at this day yearely paid them out of the Exchequer and they the titles of such places as wherein they have no jurisdiction administration or profit at all Barons also who as the Fathers and Senators in ancient times among the Romans were chosen by their Sestercia were in like manner wont to be esteemed and valued by Knights fees for why he which had and possessed thirteene Knights fees and a little more was to be accounted among the Barons are now more seldom times chosen for their vertue their great wealth and large possessions Neither is there any let but that a man may hould and still retaine the name and title of a Barony the head of which Barony as they terme it he hath afterward sould or alienated to some other common person In briefe our Kings Royall Majesty is alwaies like it selfe constant and the same which having regard to the vertue stock wealth and substance of any man whereby he may with his counsells service profit the Common-wealth may in every place freelie give and bestow dignities and honours somtimes chusing no more Barons then one out of one and the same Family The custome of the succession of the former and more ancient Baron being stil kept whole not in any hurt as wee see Edward the sixt wisely to have done in the family of the Willobies of Ersby brought forth also another Barony of Parham wherefore we acknowledge our Kings to be the fountaines of Politicall Nobilitie and unto whom we may with thanks refer all the degrees of honours and dignities wherefore I may not without cause seeme to rejoyce on the behalfe of our Nobilitie of great Brittaine which hath had alwaies Kings themselves Authors Patrons Governors and Defenders thereof that when Lands Fees and Possessions subjects to Covenants or agreements are still tossed and turmoyl'd with the stormes of the judiciall Courts and of the Common Law it is onely unto the Kings themselves beholding and resteth upon Heroicall orders and institutions proper and familiar unto it selfe so that Per Titulos numerentur avi semper que renat Nobilitate virent et prolem fata sequantur Continuum propriâ servantia lege tenorem By Titles great-mens Ancestors are known the posterity of whom injoy the same to their flourishing and everlasting fame William the Conqueror after the death of Herold having confin'd the Kingdom to himselfe laid these foundations of ancient and worthy Nobility which afterwards by his successours according to the divers occurrants and occasions by little and little became at length in the raigne of King Henry the third and Edward the first to appeare a Godly and stately building who having vanquished the Welsh-men and contending with the Scots bordering upon them for Principality and Soveraignety entreating of all things concerning the Common-weale with the three States of the Kingdome with consisteth of the Nobilitie the Cleargie and Communaltie they themselves in their Royall majesty sitting in Parliaments appointed unto every man a preheminence according to the place of his dignity from whom especially all the Nobility of our age may seeme to deriue the diverse and appointed degrees of dignities and honours Now to abreviate much that might be writ in the continuance of this discourse I shall desire to straighten my purpose to some handsome conclusion by the observation of the degrees and sitting of our English Nobility in the Parliament Chamber out of the Statute of the 31. of K. Henry the 8. who of his Princely wisdome with the full assent of the whole Parliament caused a perticular Act to be made for the placing of the Nobility in the upper house of Parliament the effect whereof I have here recited That forasmuch as in all great Assemblies and Congregations of men having degrees and offices in the Common-wealth it was thought fit and convenient that order should be taken for the placing and sitting of such persons as are bound to resort to the same to the intent that they knowing their places might use the same without displeasure the places of wch great offices deserve respect and admiration and though meerly officiarie and depending on life and the Kings gracious election without any hereditary title or perfection yet are they of such high dignity that all hereditary honour whatsoever under the degree of Royalty may at all times without disparagement give them place and precedencie The placing of these most Noble and great Officers both in the Parliament house and other Assemblies is after this worthy and distinct order That is to say the Lord Chancellor or L. Keeper the L. Treasurer the L. President of the Kings Privie Councell and the L. Privy Seale being of the degree of Barons of the Parliament or above to sit on the highest part of the form on the left side in the Parliament Chamber above al Dukes except those wch are the Kings Sons the Kings Brothers his Uncles his Nephews or his Brothers or Sisters Sonnes but if any of these foure great Officers aforesaid shal be under the degree of a Baron then he or they to sit on the uppermost part of the Sackes in the middest of the Parliament Chamber in such order as is aforeshewed As touching the other it was enacted that the I. great Chamberlaine the L. Constable the L. Marshall the L. Admirall the L. Steward and the L. Chamberlaine of the Kings houshold shall be placed next to the L. Privie
