Crassus For presently upon that dishonour Crassus commanded a Decimation and put to death a tenth man in every Legion for not having couragiously behaved himself which being done he began the fight afresh and although their number was lessened yet were they victorious and made havock of the Enemy And if it happened that a Souldier was degraded for any Offence it was deemed more dishonourable unto him than a punishment either Corporal or Pecuniary The Donatives or Rewards which the Romans used to bestow on deserving Souldiers were either advance of Honour increase of Wealth or both and that more or less according to their Deserts some of which I shall here give account of To him that had dismounted an Enemy if a Foot-man was given a pot of Gold or a piece of Plate and if an Horse-man an ornamental Badge to be set on his Crest He that first mounted the Wall of an Enemies Town or place of Fortification had a Crown of Gold Octavius Caesar after the Philippian War gave unto the Legionary Souldiers certain Crowns and unto every Captain a purple Garment Iulius Caesar after his Triumph for Victory against Pharnax gave unto every Souldier five thousand Groats to every Leader twice as many and to every Horse-man double so much Pompeius having overcome Mithridates before he triumphed bestowed upon every Souldier five hundred Groats and upon the Captains a far greater Reward And Alexander Severus did usually say That Souldiers would not live in awe of their General if they were not well clothed well fed well armed and some mony in their Purses Nor was the Romans slack in their Rewards unto their Generals for besides rich Presents they conferred Honour on them and received them home with triumphal Arches and to perpetuate their Fame they erected Pillars Statues or Obylisks to set forth their noble Victories But what need we fetch all these Examples from the Romans when our modern Princes do the same witness the high advance to Honour and Riches that our Soveraign King Charles the Second bestowed on that truly loyal and much deserving Subject George late Duke of Albemarle whom I shall anon take more occasion to speak of Nor hath his Majesties Favour been only shewed on him but on divers others as their Merits deserved some of which I shall also take occasion to speak of in place more convenient Of Ambassadors or Legats THE Office of an Ambassador is of so great Honour and Trust that none are imployed therein but such as are sufficiently known unto their Prince for Persons of Integrity Prudence Knowledge in State Affairs and such as will be strict Observers of their Masters Commands The Romans had so high an esteem for Ambassadors that whensoever any came to Rome he was first brought unto the Temple of Saturnus where his Name was written before the Praefectiarii and from thence he was conducted to deliver his Embasie to the Senate Ambassadors ought to be in all Countries inviolable and whoso offered Violence unto them was thought to have done contrary to the Law of Nations which caused Publius Mutius to command That whosoever did assault an Ambassador should be delivered up to the Enemy from whom the Ambassador was sent and although the Enemy received him not yet was he to remain an Exile Ambassadors are generally imployed by their Prince for the Confirming or Establishing of Peace a Truce or Leagues To demand Restitution for things unjustly detained or Satisfaction for Injuries done To establish or adjust Commerce or the like And they are sent and so likewise received in some State and Grandure befitting so high a Dignity The Ceremonies in many Countries for the Confirming and Establishing of Peace a Truce and Leagues have been diversly used The Lacedemonians confirmed their Treaties with great Sacraments swearing to observe the same justly and without fraud The Tartarians caused some weapon of War to be brought and thereupon they took an Oath to observe the same which done they drank of the water wherein the weapon was washed The Grecians after the death of Cyrus the younger confirming a Peace with Arieno a Commander of a barbarous sort of people caused a Bull a Boar a Wolf and a Ram to be slain and laid upon a Shield and in the blood of those Beasts the Grecians dipt their Swords and the Barbarians their Launces each protesting to observe Fidelity and Friendship to each other And the Romans used this Ceremony that when Peace was made the Praetor the Consul or Senate delivered to the Foecial an Herb called Verbena or Grass pull'd up by the root and therewith some Boughs of Verbena together with a Flint taken out of the Temple of Iupiter Feretrius which done the Foecial caused a Sow to be brought to the Market-place and holding a Scepter in his Hand having his Head covered with a Cloath he crowned himself with a Crown of Verbena then beseeched he Iupiter Mars and the other Gods that if any of the Parties failed to perform their Agreements that then he should be stricken and slain like the Sow after which Imprecations her Body was cut with the Flint upon which they cast Fire and Water and so their Sacrifice was solemnized Of War and the natural Inclinations of the English to it IRrational Animals and Vegetables are not only subject to and swayed by the Powers and Influences of the Climate under which they live but likewise the Temperatures and Complexions of Mens Bodies which also worketh different effects in their Minds and Dispositions For proof whereof Experience sheweth that the Italians and French as well in former Ages as at present are more naturally Courtly and of brisker Spirits than the Flemmings The Spaniards and Lybians more Agile and Crafty subject to Choller Malice and Pride than the Suede Muscovite or other Septentrional People remoter from the Sun who are more inclined to Valour and Animosity and the Nations proximate to the Sun have their Blood seccicated which causeth Melancholiness and are noted for the searching

Forty years in which time he created eight Barons and had Iura Regalia within the County Of Earls not Palatine which is as ancient as the Conquest there have been principally two kinds but either of them subdivided into several Branches for they either take name of a place or hold their Title without any place Those that take their Name of a place are of two kinds for either the place is the County as the Earl of Devonshire Kent Middlesex or the like or else some Town Castle or Honour as the Earldom of Richmond in Yorkshire Clarence in Suffolk Arundel in Suffex Bathe and Bridgwater in Somersetshire and so forth And those Earldoms which have their Titles without any place are likewise of two kinds either in respect of Office or by Birth By Office as the Earl-Marshal of England called in Latin Comes Marascallus Angliae and is an Office not only of great power being in the Vacancy of the Lord High Constable of England the King's Lieutenant General in all Marshal Affairs but of as great Honour taking place of all Earls except the Lord Great Chamberlain of England and is likewise endowed with many honourable priviledges This Title of Earl-Marshal was by K. Richard the Second first given to Thomas Mowbray Earl of Nottingham whereas before they were simply styled Marshals and after the Banishment of Mowbray he granted it to Thomas Holland Duke of Surrey and that he should carry a Rod or Verge of Gold enammeled black at both ends whereas before they used one of Wood This Office is now by his present Majesty restored to the ancient Family of the Howards Hereditary for ever and is enjoyed by the Right Honourable Henry Howard Earl of Norwich Baron Howard of Castle-Rising in Norfolk and Heir apparent to his Grace the Duke of Norfolk The other sort of Earls are by Birth and so are all the Sons of the Kings of England if they have no other Dignity bestowed upon them And therefore it was said that Iohn afterwards King of England in the life time of his Father Henry the Second was Comites sans terre Earls as other Degrees of Nobility are Offices of great Trust being created by Patent for two principal purposes one ad consulendum Regi in tempore pacis the other ad defendendum Regem Patriam in tempore belli And therefore Antiquity hath given them two Ensigns to resemble both the said Duties For first the Head is adorned with a Cap of Honour and a Coronet of Gold which for distinction is pyramidal pointed and pearled between each pyramid a Flower much shorter th●n the pyramid And the Body is adorned with Robes viz. a Hood Surcoat and Mantle of State with three guards of Fur upon the Shoulders which Robe is an emblem of Counsel and they are begirt with a Sword in resemblance of that they must be faithful and true to defend their Prince and Country An Earl had formerly the Title of Prince but now it is Most Potent and Noble Lord as also The Right Honourable and truly Noble Out of his Superiors presence he may have a Cloth of Estate fringed without pendants and his Countess may have her Train born up by an Esquire's Wife But to the King 's high Council of Parliament no man ought to presume to come before he hath received the King 's Writ of Summons This Constitution was first made by King Henry the Third after the Barons War was appeas'd and by King Edward the Third and his Successors it hath been carefully observed The form of a Writ of Summons to an Earl is as followeth REX c. Vnto his welbeloved Cosin John Earl of Greeting Because by the advice and assent of our Council for certain weighty and urgent businesses concerning us the state and defence of our Kingdom and Church we have ordained to be holden a certain Parliament at our City of Westminster the day of next coming and there together with you and with the Prelates and Great and Noble Men of our said Kingdom to have confidence and treaty commanding and firmly injoyning you upon your Faith and Allegiance whereby you are holden unto us that the dangers and perils imminent of that business considered and all Excuses set apart you be present at the said day in the same place with us and with the Prelates and Noblemen aforesaid to treat and give counsel upon the aforesaid business and hereof fail not as you tender our honour and the safegard and defence of our Kingdom and Church aforesaid Witness our self at Westminster the day of in the year of our Reign In this Writ an Earl is saluted by the K●ng by the Name of Cosin although no Kin and the Writ of Summons to him or any other Peer is particularly directed to himself and not unto the Sheriff of the Country as the general Summons are to Knights and Burgesses of Parliament After a man is created an Earl Viscount or any other Title of Honour above his Title it is become parcel of his Name and not an addition only but in all legal Proceedings he ought to be styled by that his Dignity In the first of King Edward the Third fol. 151. a Writ of Formedon was brought against Richard Son of Alleyn late Earl of Arundel and did demand the Mannor of C. with the Appurtenances c. The Tenant by his Learned Counsel did plead that he was Earl of Arundel and was at the day of the Writ purchased and demanded Judgment of the Writ because he was not named in the Writ according to his Dignity and Title of Honour To which the Demandant saith That at that time when he did purchase the Writ the Tenant was not known nor taken to be an Earl and it is severe Justice if the Writ shall abate without any default in the Plaintiff nevertheless because the truth of the matter was so that the Earldom did descend unto him before the Plaintiff had commenced his Action and purchased his Writ against him therefore by Judgment his Writ was abated although the Tenant was not at that time known to be an Earl But if a Baron be Plaintiff or Defendant it is not of necessity to name him Baron 8 Hen. 6. 10. yet see a distinction of Barons concerning this matter here following And so Reginald Gray was reputed Esquire after the Earldom descended unto him till at last it was published and declared by the Queen and the Heralds that he was Earl of Kent in Right and by Descent although he was not reputed or named Earl before that time But an addition may be used or omitted at pleasure except in special Cases where Processes of style of Supremum Caput Ecclesiae Anglicanae which by Act of Parliament in the 26 th of Hen. 8. cap. 1. and in the 35 th of Hen. 8. cap. 3. was annexed to the Imperial Crown of this Realm It is no part of the King's style so that it may be omitted in the Summons of Parliament
