A Burghers delin et sculp A TREATISE Of the ROMAN Ports and Forts in KENT BY WILLIAM SOMNER Publish'd by JAMES BROME M.A. Rector of CHERITON and Chaplain to the CINQUE-PORTS To which is prefixt the Life of Mr. SOMNER OXFORD Printed at the THEATER 1693. Imprimatur H. ALDRICH Vice-Can Oxon. Febr. 18. 1693. TO HIS Excellency The Right HONOURABLE HENRY L d. Viscount SYDNEY of SHEPEY Baron of MILTON Lord Lieutenant of their Majesties Kingdom of IRELAND Lord Lieutenant of the County of KENT Constable of DOVER-CASTLE Lord Warden of the CINQUE-PORTS One of the Principal Secretaries of State and One of their Majesties most Honourable Privy Council My LORD SInce I have had the honour to serve your Lordship in the Cinque-Ports I have been frequently considering what seasonable return of gratitude I might make for the favours I have receiv'd from your Honour But fearing no production of my own might be worthy of Your acceptance I am inclin'd to borrow something out of the common treasury of learning wherewith to pay my first-fruits of duty and obedience What I presume to lay before Your Lordship may not prove perhaps unacceptable since 't is a small but excellent Treatise of very great esteem amongst the learned and judicious and does now justly implore Your Lordship's Protection whether we consider the subject matter it treats of or the places to which it relates in both which Your Lordship is at this time very nearly and happily concern'd 'T is an Historical discourse of the Roman Ports and Forts in Kent wrote some years ago by a very eminent Antiquary of Canterbury but never before publish'd and therefore humbly desires to be usher'd into the world under the gracious Patronage of Your Lordship as being well assur'd that the same auspicious effects which daily attend both the Cinque-Ports and County from your great Wisdom and Sagacity will as certainly here ensue from Your Countenance and Authority Their Sacred Majesties who know best how to value what is really to be esteemed and to place those persons in the highest trust whose merits and great accomplishments deservedly entitle them to such honourable employments have advanc'd Your Lordship of whose faithful service they have had so large experience to that noble Station of Government in which you happily preside in Ireland which never stood in greater need of such an able Patriot and Protector Our Annals inform us how infinitely Ireland stood once before indebted to the matchless Wisdom and Courage of one of Your Renowned Progenitours The Honourable Sir Henry Sydney Lord Deputy under Queen Elizabeth who for the space of eleven years gave admirable proofs of dexterity and Conduct in the managing of that untractable people though he had little else to encounter with but obstinacy and Rebellion And my Lord whoever considers those Great and Noble Endowments of mind with which Heaven has enriched You for the general good and benefit of the world may from hence easily conjecture how extremely happy at this juncture the Irish nation must needs be under Your Lordship's present Lieutenancy who seem in all respects both born and form'd on purpose to be the Tutelary Guardian of that distracted Island To render this Tract if possible a litle more grateful and inviting I have subjoyned a Catalogue from the most Authentic Historians of those Noble Personages who have been Your Lordship's Predecessors in the Constableship of Dover-Castle and Wardenship of the Cinque-Ports which are both indeed Offices of as great Antiquity as Renown The learned Mr. Camden has observed that our Warden of the Ports did resemble the Officer whom the Romans established for the defence of our Coasts call'd by them Littoris Saxonici or Tractus Maritimi Comes who had then the charge of nine Ports as the Lord Warden has now of five and allthough there is no doubt but during the Saxon Heptarchy the Ports were under the Regency of some such sort of extraordinary Officer as this was yet if the famous Antiquary Mr. Lambard may have any credit he tells us that William the Conquerour was the first that imposed upon the Limenarcha the name of Warden out of his own Norman language and Mr. Darell in his account of these matters saith that William the Conquerour created John Fynes Constable of Dover-Castle which title of honour he settled by Deed of Gift upon him and his heirs which may occasion a conjecture not alltogether improbable that under the reign of that Prince those honourable offices began first to be united in the person of one man however 't is certain they have never since been separated but whatever great and eminent Persons have been thus nobly Dignified by the grace and favour of their Prince their names stand now upon this signal Roll of honour in a successive series to this present generation But my Lord I consider that your minutes are sacred May your Lordship's great Merits and honourable Atchievements both for their Majesties and their Kingdoms make you still the Favourite of Your Prince the Glory of your Age the delight of your Countrey and the Honour of the Cinque-Ports may You live long and flourish in an enjoyment of every thing that may conduce to your Happiness that so by the favour of Heaven I may the longer enjoy an opportunity to pay my constant duty to Your Lordship and be more and more capable to give a repeated testimony how much I am My Lord Your Lordships most obliged Chaplain and faithful Servant JAMES BROME THE LIFE OF Mr. SOMNER To the Rev d. Mr. JAMES BROME Sir I HAVE receiv'd the Transcript you sent me of Mr. Somner's discourse of the Roman Ports and Forts in Kent and I agree with you in the opinion that the publication of it would do honour to our County and service to the learned world And since you have obtained leave of that Venerable Body to whom the Original belongs I am willing to assist in the Edition You judge right that the life of the Author is much wanting and that some notes should be affixt to this Treatise to explain what otherwise might stop the Reader From which task I wish you had not excus'd your self by a retir'd life and want of access to books and other notices of this kind But since you devolve those cares on me I will take up one half of the burthen and commit the other to our Friend Mr. Edmund Gibson of Queens College a Person well verst in the subject of Antiquities and therefore most fit to illustrate a discourse of this nature with such cursory remarks as may adorn and improve the work As to the Author's Life since you have furnisht me with so many faithful materials I am content to tell the world how great a Man lyes buried and how much his memory deserves to be reviv'd In doing this I shall treat him not as a Courtier or a Patron whose reputation must be rais'd by lines of flattery and artificial disguise but as an Historian
