And after from those again in a fairer larger and more apparent manner and the more apt am I to speak against these ordinary Differences as they are called knowing them to be but new inventions and any of them as ordinaries in Fashion as now they are never used before the time of King Henry the sixt before which time men were much more wary and discreet in bearing of their marks and in foreseeing that no intruders should enter into their families nor that any should lay away or remove their Differings without special warrant or license of them that thereby might be prejudiced for a Labell being much in use for the heire apparent to wear as his differeuce during his fathers life was seldom removed to the second Brother but when the inheritance went unto the daughters of the elder Brother and then the second was permitted to bear the same for his Difference as being the heire male of his family and as one that remained in expectancy yet might not the second Brother use to intrude himself into the absolute signs of his house the inheritance being in his neeces or kinswomen as appeared in the case between Gray of Ruthine and Hastings which was this John Lord Hastings married to his first wife Izabell one of the sisters and heires of Almery de Vallence Earl of Penbrooke by whom he had issue John Hastings after Earl of Penbrooke Elizabeth married to Roger Lord Gray
of Ruthin and some other children which needs not to be spoken of for that as I take it all the lines of them fail'd before the extinguishing of the line of the said John Earl of Penbrooke After such issue being had the said Izabel Vallence died and the said John Lord Hastings took to a second wife Izabel the Daughter of Hugh Spenser by whom he had issue Hugh Hastings and Thomas and then died and left as heir John his son by his first Wife who was Earl of Penbrooke as I have said erected by reason of his mothers inheritance which John Earl of Penbrooke married and had issue another Earl of Penbrooke who also married and had issue a third Earl of Penbrooke but in the end all the line of the said John Hastings first Earl of Penbrooke of that family failing there arose a question betwixt the Heirs of Roger Gray and Elizabeth his wife being sister of the whole blood and the Heirs of Hugh Hastings brother of the half blood to the said John Earl of Penbrooke for the inheritance of the Hastings But Gray recovering the same by the law that saith Possessio fratris de feodo simplici facit sororem esse haeredem called the said Hastings also having removed the difference of his mark for that he was then heir male of that house into the Court of chevalry and there having a judgement against him the said Hastings was compelled to use a Difference which was a Label of silver upon his mark a fair red sleeve of his Ladies upon his golden vesture since which the heirs of that younger family have used the said Labell even until this our age So that you may see by this that the law was then taken to be such that such an heir male as had not the inheritance of his Ancestors should not be suffered to bear his mark without distinction for it should seem by this that the issue of them that had married the heir general of any family being by reason thereof possessed of the lands had not only an interest in the Arms but might also forbid any man the bearing thereof There is also another matter out of square which is that every man that obtaineth large possessions whether the same be acquired by his judgment in law traffick in merchandize or any other mean yea although never any of his progenitors from whom he can derive himself had the charge to lead men of Arms will yet at this day intrude themselves into the Badges and marks of souldiers for although such as be descended from men of martial discipline have an interest in their ancestors marks amongst other their goods and therefore may shew forth the same to their predecessors glory and their own in respect of their descent yet such men as rise by their sciences judgments or skill in other arts affairs or trades although they be to be reverenced for their wisdom and praiseful actions and had in honour answerable to their vertues and dignities have yet little to do with the marks or Badges of soldiers For altho a reverend Judg that hath ministred law and justice a long time and that so long as that thereby to his great glory he hath obtained reputation wealth and revenue is to be had in high estimation and in respect thereof to have allow'd him some note or mark of Honour fit for his calling yot to my simple judgment the same should be disposed unto him after the old Roman order by signifying the manner of his rising rather then to put a corselet on his back a Burgonet on his head a Target on his Arm and a Sword by his side being things that would cumber greatly the good old man to use either for his own defence or but to shew by way of triumph for his glory sithence neither is it tolerable by reason of his age nor in his youth did he exercise himself in welding thereof And as these things are unseeming for him to wear no more can I see any reason why he should deck up the moniments of his house with such signs or tokens except he can derive himself from an ancestor that hath had the use of such things and then to set them sorth as a glory to his deceased parent will greatly augment the regard of his rising which rising yet of it self is a sufficient Honour the same being by any just vertuous or laudable means And these new risings I could wish to be of more reputation then they seem to be esteem'd of either by others or themselves that so rise as is apparent by many of their doings who intrude themselves into marks of Antiquity and setting forth of descents wherein they are yet fain many times either to counterfet or else to derive themselves from some poor parents which they either truly or by surmize alledge to have descended from some antient family and that have been by some accident or other in former time decayed wherein me thinks men do greatly mistake the matter for that in my opinion a man that is but of mean parentage and riseth by commendable means is equivalent to him that riseth from a decayed family namely when his said parent hath been overthrown for offence as many times they alleadge in plain terms And I could wish that every man that raiseth a House by his good industry should be honoured with some such Badge or Mark as should be answerable to the quality of his rising and not every man of what condition soever they be to entrude themselves into the signs and marks of souldiers and such as follow the field with martial exploits Some people also there are that be so precise as that they do disallow altogether the setting forth of any memory of well deserving men which have shewed themselves valiant either in the act of Religion their Princes service or defence of their Country neither allowing their posterity to set forth any memory of their praises nor suffering any monuments or garnishments to remain of their Burials as tho it were a matter offensive to God to have good men well spoken of or their valorous doings by their obsequies either reverenc'd or by any records remembred To such men I have not thought it amiss to shew them their error by directing them to such places of Scripture as do not only tolerate and allow of such actions but also praise and commend the doing thereof and in some sort charge and command the same to be done whereby both they may if they be not obstinate reform their misconceived opinions and others may be fortifyed in their praiseful endeavours towards the honouring of vertuous and worthy men to the animating of posterity to imitate their laudable actions sithence indeed the chiefest matter that stirreth up men to do well next their zeal to God and the love of vertue it self is

A CATALOGUE OF THE BARONETS OF THIS KINGDOM OF England From the first Erection of that Dignity until the 4th of July 1681 inclusive AN Advertisement TO THE READER WHen the Copie from which this subsequent Catalogue of the English Nobility is printed was sent to the Press the name and Title of Francis Lord Howard of Effingham was omitted tho in the second Volume of the Baronage of England published in anno 1676 upon the best information I could then obtain I had there taken notice of that person as heir expectant to the said Honour after the death of Charles Earl of Nottingham who was then very aged and issuless doubting to fix him therein before he had regularly made his claim thereto might give offence to the rest of the Nobility but upon view of my Copie by some intelligent persons who nevertheless thought it proper to be inserted I submitted thereto whereat if any take offence I humbly crave pardon it being my clear opinion that such of a collateral line as have right by descent to any Title of Honour accruing to them by virtue of an entail thereof made long since they should openly exhibite their claim unto the King with due proof of their right thereto as hath heretofore in like cases been done and thereupon with his Majesties allowance thereof have the same by the direction of the Earl Marshal orderly registred Whereas in the Catalogue of the Vicounts I have inserted Leicester Devereux Vicount Hereford now in minoritie I'have hereby thought fitt to advertise the Reader that upon certain exceptions taken in Parliament in anno 1677 to his right for that Title by reason of the attainder of Robert Earl of Essex and Vicount Hereford in 43 Eliz. and restoration of that Honour being only limitted to Robert his Son and the two Sisters of the said Robert the decision â—hereof was then by order of the House of Lords reâ—â—ited till the said Leicester Devereux shall come of full Age. It is likewise to be noted whereas in this ensuing Catalogue Pag. 71. Charles Wilmot Earl of Rochester is inserted that since the printing thereof he dyed whereby that Title of Honour is totally extinct and therefore that the number of Earls mentioned in pag. 69. lin penult is to be no more then 68. And that James Compton Earl of Northampton mentioned p. 70. is since dead but succeeded by George his Son who is under Age. I have likewise thought fit farther to advertise the Reader that the Book-Seller being desirous to publish Catalogues of the Scottish and Irish Nobility such hath been the unexspected delay in obtaining perfect Copies from Scotland and Ireland that the publication of my papers which have been printed more then four months since hath by reason thereof been so long retarded that it hath necessitated some alterations and emendations now added Also that as to the following Catalogue of the Scottish Nobility Sir George Mackenzie the worthy Lord Advocat of Scotland in his letter to me bearing the 30th of December 1681 doth signify that he did review it and gave his assistance for the better compleating thereof and doth certify that it is very perfect and exact But the said Sir George Mackenzie in a learned Treatise of

The Arch-bishop of St. Andrews is to take place before all subjects Yet I think this will not give him place from the Kings Sons Uncles and Nephews though they be likewise subjects since the word subjects must be here interpreted according to the custom of Nations by which these neare relations of Princes are preferred to all other subjects Yet defacto since the letter the Arch-bishops of St. Andrews ceds to the Lord Chancellor These Advertisements to the Reader are to be prefixt before pag. 67. THE Preface WHereas in the year 1667 a Catalogue of the Baronets of England was by authority published to the end that such as had obtained Patents for that Honour which were not enrolled should by discerning an omission of their names therein take care to supply that defect so that upon a second Impression thereof they might be inserted Now whereas after twelve years and more no Enrollments are yet to be found for sundry persons which have assumed this Title which causeth some to doubt whether they can make any justifiable claime thereto Whereas therefore no person whatsoever ought to take upon them this Title of dignity but such as have been really advanced thereto by Letters Patents under the great Seale of England it is thought fit by the right Honorable Robert Earl of Aylesbury who now exerciseth the Office of Earl Marshall of England that this present Catalogue of such touching whom the Docquet-books remaining with the-Clerk of the Crown in Chancery do take notice shall be published to the end that those of whom no memorial upon Record is to be found to justifie their right to this Title may be known and care henceforth taken in Commissions of the peace and otherwise that it be not given unto them until they shall manifest the same unto the Lord Chancellor of England and have speciall order from his Lordship to enroll such Patents whereby they pretend Title to that dignity As also that regard be had of giving credit to any other Catalogues of the Baronets which are already publisht or that shall be publisht than what is taken from the authority of those Docquet-books above mentioned or the Enrollment of their Patents BARONETS Created by King James Anno Dom. 1611.
