And to hold Sessions and Goale delivery for all Criminall actions perpetrated and done within the Liberty high Treason and pettie Treason only excepted This Towne hath as many other ancient Boroughes of England have a power to send up two Burgesses to every Parliament So that they have not only the power to execute Lawes but also a share in making of lawes And here is to bee observed the reason why the Princes and policy of England have had a regard as it were to the fencing and hedging about the Cities and ancient Boroughs of this Land with Priviledges and Immunities for the stronger defence preservation and maintenance of the same and that for divers great and weighty ends and purposes In the time of William the Conquerour it is constitured by the said King in these words Item nullum Mercatum vel forum sit nec fieri permittatur nisi in Civitatibus Regni nostri in Burgis clausis muto vallatis Castellis locis tutissimus ubi consuetudines Regni nostri jus nostrum commune dignitates Coronae nostrae quae constitutae sunt a bonis Praedecessoribus nostris deperire non possunt nec defraudari nec viol●ri sed omnia rite ●er judicium justiciam fieri debent Et ideo Castella Burgi Civitates sunt fundatae edificata scilicet ad tuitionem gentium populorum Regni ad defencionem Regni idcirco observari debent cum omne libertate et integritate et ratione So as by this it appeares that Cities and ancient Boroughs as this Towne is were instituted for three purposes First the conservation of the Customes of the Kingdome and the common Right and Dignity of the Crowne 2. For the defence of the Nation and the people of the Kingdome 3. And as for the defence of the Kingdome so for the conservation of the Lawes thereof by which Lawes every man injoyes his owne in Peace for tuition and defence of the Kings subjects and for the keeping of the Kings peace in time of suddaine uproares and finally for the Defence of the Realme against outward and inward hostilitie And indeed the Graunts of Kings and Soveraigne Princes either to Counties Cities or Townes corporate makes such Counties Cities and Townes corporate as it were small County Palatines within themselves in giving them power for the better Government of such places to have Magistrates of their owne members and for their more ample Authority and peculiar rule to make Lawes constitutions and ordinances to bind themselves and every member within their Iurisdiction When the Conquerour created Hugh Lupus Earle of Chester he made that Shire a County Palatine upon which Creation Henry Bradshaw a Munk in Chester about the beginning of King Henry the 8. speaking of the manner of the Conquerours graunt to the said Hugh hath these

The occasion of this erection was in memory of El●nor daughter to Fardinand the third of that name King of Castil● and wife of the said King Edward the first a most Religious Chast and vertuous Lady who as the story goes when her husband was wounded with an invenomed arrow at the Warres in Palestine with her own mouth she sucked the poyson out of the wound and so healed her Lord when all his Chyrurgions Physitians had left the wound for mor●●ll This Queen fal●ing sick at H●rdeley beyond Lincolne there dyed the 9th of November 1290 and her Corpes being brought from thence to be buried at Westminster in every place whne the same rested by the way King Edward the first shortly after caused in memory of her a most sumptuous Crosse of stone to be erected neer the place some of which are standing and remaining if not lately destroyed till this day as at Lincolne Grantham Stamford Waltham and Charing-Crosse neer unto Westminster yet appeareth At the upper end of the middle quire of this Church of St. Maries in Stamford there stands a monument more curious for the workmanship then for the matter whereof it is framed having no superscription nor Armes to de●ote unto us who the party was that it was made for He lyeth in Armour Cap●pe The tradition is that he was a Knight who went by the name of Sir Daniel Phillips a great man for Henry Earle of Richmond in the battaile against the Tyrant Richard the third But I suppose he was one of a more higher rank and of the blood Royall for at his feet there is a Lyon Co●chant and round about the Tombe Roses the culler not perceived supported by a Grayhound and a Dragon being hatchments of honour appertayning to the Crown of England At the upper end of the midle quite in the glasse window did stand before they were lately defaced three Scu●chions of Armes the first Gules a ●esse betwixt six crosse Crossees de Or being the coat Armor of B●●champ sometimes Earle of Warwicke likewise another coat viz● Argent a Pesse between three Cressents Gules which is the coat of Oagle of Pinchback in the County of Lincolne from which family as to me appeares the Baron Oagles of the North are descended because these Oagles of Lincolnshire bear the paternall coate without difference the third is Azure● Crosse fitched between 2.
