France IN the Realme of France to be a Peer is the greatest dignity under the King for that in many things they have almost equall authority with Kings for Peere in the French tongue signifieth equall But because it might bee too prolixe a matter to speake of their prerogatives it shall suffice to number them and each of their offices at the sacring or coronation of a new King These ancient Peers are twelve in number whereof sixe are of the Clergy and sixe are Lay men the sixe of the Clergy with their offices at the coronation are the Archbishop and Duke of Reins which hath his accustomed charge to oynt and consecrate the King the Bishop and Duke of Lacon whose office is to bring the holy Ampoule or divine water wherwith the king is annointed the Bishop and Duke of Langres whose office is to bring the scepter and the hand of justice the Bishop and Earle of Beauvais bringeth the Kings cloake the Bishop and Earle of Chaalons bringeth the Kings Ring the Bishop and Earle of Noyon bringeth the Kings girdle The sixe temporall Peers with their offices at the coronation are the Duke of Burgundie Deane or chiefe of the rest whose office is to bring the kings crown the Duke of Guyen bringeth the first square banner the Duke of Normandy bringeth the second square banner the Earle of Tholouse bringeth the Kings spurrs the Earle of Champaine bringeth the Kingly banner or the standart of warre and the Earle of Flaunders bringeth the Kings sword And although the five first temporall Peerdomes be united to the crowne and the sixt bee subject to another Prince yet at the Kings coronation there are other noble men appointed to supply their roome and offices These bee the twelve ancient Peers although since their creation others have beene made which though they have like authority to judge in the Court of Parliament yet they want offices at the King coronation and beare not that majesty that the other Peers doe for that they are not of so great antiquity The eight Parliaments of France THE chiefe and generallest justice of the Realme of France is continually kept in eight Citties wherein are Palaces made expressely for that purpose and this generall kinde of justice is divided into eight parts according to the eight Citties and every of them are called Parliaments which differ very little from our Tearmes but whereas these are but foure times in a yeare those are continually kept each of them having in stead of our Lord Chancelor a chiefe President The first and chiefest of these Parliaments is that of Paris called the Court of the Peers of France and to the equity and judgement of this Parliament many forraigne Kings and Princes have submitted themselves in matters of greatest importance as to the most venerable and chiefest Senate of justice in the world Such were the Emperor Fredericke the second called Barberossa King of both Scycils when hee submitted himselfe to the judgment of this Court of Parliament as touching all the controversies of his Empire and Kingdomes which hee had against Pope Innocent the fourth Philip Prince of Tarente and the Duke of Burgundie who submitted them selves to this Parliament for the controversie betwixt them upon the expences of the recovery of the Empire of Constantinople The Duke of Lorraine subject to the Empire and the Lord Guy of Chastillon who submitted themselves to the judgement of this Court as concerning the limitation of their lands and possessions the Daulphin of Vienna and the Earle of Sauoy submitted themselves to the judgement of this Parliament concerning the suit betwixt them for the homage of the Marquisat of Saluces Moreover without the consent of this Parliament it hath not beene seene that the Kings of France have done or passed any matter of importance touching the state of the Realme so much is it respected both within the Realme and abroad This Court of Parliament was first ordayned by Phillip the fayre King of France The second

The eight Parliament is at Renes in Britaine ordayned by Henry the second Of all these Parliaments Paris Parliament is the chiefe and certaine cases are reserved to be judged only at the Parliament of Paris The seven Saxon Kingdomes that England was once divided into THe f●rst was the Kingdome of Kent which had his beginni●g of the Saxon Hengist in one yeare of our Lord 476 and the fift yeare of Vortiger King of Britaine his last reigne for he had beene deposed the Kingdome continued 342 yeares till that Egbert King of Westsaxons vanquished Baldred last King thereof and joyned it to his owne Kingdome The second Kingdome was of Sussex or Southsaxons which began by the Saxon Ella in the yeare of our Lord 482 and the second yeare of Aurelius Ambrosius King of Britaine This Kingdome continued not above 112 yeares The third Kingdome was of East-angles or East Englishmen and contained Northfolke and Suffolke it was first begunne by the Saxon Vffa about the yeare of our Lord 492 and the 11 yeare of Aurelius Ambrosius King of Britaine This Kingdome continued 376 yeares the last King whereof was Saint Edmond martyr'd by the Danes The fourth was the Kingdome of Westsaxons containing the West-country of England and had his beginning by the Saxon Cerdicus the yeare of our Lord 522 and the fift yeare of Arthur the great King of Britaine and endured from the first yeare of Cerdicus to the last of Alured the terme of 378 yeares The Kings of this Countrey subdued at length all the other sixe Kingdomes which Egbert

successours Kings of France And the brothers or companions of this Order were bound at the receiving thereof to forsake and leave all other Orders if any they had either of a Prince or any company only excepting Emperors Kings and Dukes which beside this Order might weare that Order whereof they were chiefe with the agreement and consent of the King and Brotherhood of the said Order and in like manner the said King of France might weare beside his owne the Order of other Emperours Kings and Dukes And for the connoissance of this Order and the Knights thereof he gave to every of them a Coller of Gold wrought with Cockle shels enterlacing one another with a double pointing Ribbon of Silke with golden Tagges the word Immensi Arenor Oceani which King Francis the first because his name was Francis changed into a white Friars of Franciscans Girdle made of a twisted corde and hangeth on that Coller a tablet of St. Michael upon a Rocke conquering the Divell Of the institution of this Order is made a book containing 98 Articles wherein are set downe the things whereunto the Knights of this Order are subject The fift Order is that of the Holy Ghost instituted by Henry the 3. King of France on New-yeares day in the yeare 1579 it was called by the name of the Holy Ghost because this Henry was on a Whitsonday chosen King of Poland Of this also is written a Booke contayning the Articles whereunto the Knights thereof are bound Among the which I have principally noted one that is to defend and sustaine the Clergy for the King doth give to every of them the rent of certaine Abbeyes religious houses or other spirituall lands whereof they shall alow a certaine stipend to the entertaining of a certaine number of religious persons in every religious house under him and for that benefit are sworne at their entring into the sayd Order alwayes to defend the Spirituality and maintaine the Clergy in their priviledges but how they keepe their Oath it is well seene in every place of their spirituall possessions and therof my selfe have oftentimes had ocular experience for travailing in that Countrey and passing oftentimes by goodly religious houses I have sometimes for recreation having well tryed the courteous demeanor that commonly religious men use towards strangers that come to view their houses entred into sundry of them where I have divers times bin sufficiently enformed by the religious how the King had given the rents and possessions of their houses to the Knights of his Order with the conditions already rehearsed which Knights allow them such bare exhibition that by reason it is not sufficient to entertaine the fourth part of the number by them appointed almost all of them are constrayned either to forsake their houses and begge or else there to starve through which occasion many goodly religious houses are of late fallen in decay for want of reparation trimming up and inhabiting and will domore and more without a redresse And this have I learned in divers religious houses beside the common murmuring of the Clergy and so wee may see how these Knights called of the Holy Ghost for to defend and mainetaine the spirituality doe under pretence thereof rob and prodigally waste the spirituall possessions so that it may seeme only to be a policy under the correction of better judgment put in the Kings head to diminish spirituall livings which in that Countrey are wonderful great and satisfie his prodigall minde in rewarding by that meanes his flatterers because through his exceeding lavishnesse hee is scarce able otherwise to reward them The Bishop of Rome considering what dismembring of Church-lands decay of Gods service commeth through this Order in the Realme of France will not grant the confirmation thereof although the King hath beene instant for the same but notwithstanding the Popes misliking thereof the Order is maintained though to the great weakning of the religion in that Countrey Yea at the last celebration thereof which was on New-yeares day eeven 1581 I saw three Bishops were admitted into that Order The Collar is of Flowers de lys and flames of Gold with a Crosse and a Dove on it pendent representing the Holy Ghost wrought in Orenge tauny Velvet garnished about with silver beames which the Knights of that Order weare upon their Cloakes before their heart Their robe is a blacke Velvet Mantle poudered with Lillies and flames of Gold and Silver None are admitted to this Order who cannot proove their Nobility by three descents at least The sixt Order is of the Bath brought first into England 1399 by Henry the fourth They are created at the Coronation of Kings and Queenes and the installation of the Princes of Wales Their duty is to defend true Religion Widdows Maids Orphans and to maintaine the Kings rights The 13 Cantons of Swisserland THE inhabitants of Helvetia or Swisserland after they had emancipated themselves from the yoake of the Empire and expelled the Nobility of the Imperiall faction began to make leagues and confederacies one Towne with another to fortifie themselves by that meanes against forraigne invasions if any happened And in processe of time within little more then an hundred yeares are increased to the number of 13 which they call Cantons by which the whole Countrey of Swisse is governed and defended And here according to their antiquity I place them the first that confederated together and gave example to the rest were Vri Swits Vndervard Villages and these 3 by little little have drawn to their faction all the rest that follow Lucerne Zurich Citties Glaris Zug Villages Berne Fribourg Soulleurre Basle Schaffouse Citties Appensel Village Whereof 7 professe the Romish Religion viz.
