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. Vri Swits Vndervard Zug Lucerne Fribourg and Soulleurre the rest are Zuinglians which diversity of Religion hath caused dissention and mortal warres of late yeares among them although they be all sworne together to defend their liberties against Strangers Non munus sed animus FINIS
