A

OF
All
the
Dukes
,
Marquesses
,
and
Earles
,
which
have
been
in
England
since
the
first
entrance
of
the
NORMANS
.

With
the
honourary
Offices
which
they
,
or

of
〈◊〉
have
enjoyed
in

times

The
Preface
to
the
ensuing
Catalogne
of
Dukes
,
Marquesses
,
and
Earles
.
THe
Kings
of
England
as
they
are
the
fountaine
of
all
authority
and
jurisdiction
in
their
owne
Dominions
:
so
are
they
the
foun●aine
also
of
all
civill
honour
;
which
they
dispose
of
and
dispence
,
as
to
them
seemes
best
.
King●
have
so
much
of
God
in
them
,
whose
Deputies
they
are
on
earth
,
as
many
times
where
they
finde
merit
and
desert
,
to
raise
the
poore
out
of
the
dust
,
that
they
may
set
them
with
the
Princes
,
even
with
the
Princes
of
their
people
.
Now
for
their
honourary
attributes
,
which
by
our
Kings
have
beene
conferred
upon
their
Subjects
;
the
ancientest
are
those
of
Earle
and
Baron
:
the
Kings
of
England
,
of
the
Norman
race
,
not
giving
unto
any
the
stile
of
Duke
,
untill
that
Edw.
the
third
,
created
his
sonne
Edward
the
black
Prince
,
Duke
of
Cornwall
,
Anno
1336.
As
for
the
title
of
Marquesse
,
that
was
made
honourary
by
King
Richard
the
second
,
who
first
created
his
great
favourite
,
Robert
de
Vere
,
then
Earle
of
Oxford
,
Marquesse
of
Dublyn
:
as
afterwards
he
made
his
Cosen
German
,
Iohn
de
Bausort
,
one
of
the
sonnes
of
Iohn
of
Gaunt
,
by
Katherine
Swinfort
,
then
Earle
of
Somerset
,
the
first
Marquesse
Dorset
.
But
that
of
Earles
hath
beene
as
ancient
in
this
Kingdome
,
as
the
line
of
Normandy
.
William
the
Conqu●r●r
advancing
many
to
that
honour
at
his
first
en●●ance
on
this
State
,
both
to
reward
them
for
their
service
,
and
oblige
them
to
him
.
Of
which
ranke
were
the
Earles
of
Arund●ll
,
Chester
,
Cornwall
,
Kent
,
Oxford
,
with
some
others
,
Anno
1067.
being
the
next
yeere
after
he
attained
the
Kingdome
.
Which
with
the
other
Earles
of
ancient
creation
,
were
commonly
endowed
de
tertio
denario
placitorum
Comitatus
,
with
the
third
penny
of
the
pleas
of
that
County
wherof
they
were
Earles
the
other
two
parts
being
accompted
by
the
Sheriffe
(
the
Vice-Comes
)
into
the
▪
Exchequer
,
for
the
Kings
use
.
And
though
we
mean
to
go
no
lower
in
our
following
Catalogue
,
then
the
stile
of
Earle
;
yet
by
the
way
we
may
take
notice
,
that
Viscount
here
became
an
honourary
title
in
the
time
of
K.
H.
6.
who
in
the
18.
of
his
raigne
advanced
Sir
Iohn
Beaum●nt
unto
that
honour
,
and
gave
him
place
above
all
Barons
,
as
Richard
2.
gave
his
new
Marquesses
precedencie
before
all
Earles
.
Now
at
the
ennobling
of
deserving
persons
into
these
high
dignities
,
it
is
,
and
hath
beene
of
later
times
the
custome
of
the
Kings
of
England
,
to
give
unto
them
some
set
pension
for
the
support
of
their
estate
:
which
is
now
generally
brought
unto
this
proportion
,
that
Viscounts
have
a
fee
of
20.
markes
,
Earles
of
20.
li.
Marquesses
of
40.
markes
,
and
Dukes
of
40.
li.
assigned
unto
them
,
out
of
some
part
or
other
of
the
Kings
revenues
.
Which
bounty
I
observe
not
to
have
beene
used
in
the
creation
of
a
Ba●on
,
excepting
onely
that
it
pleased
his
sacred
Majesty
now
being
,
when
hee
created
the
righ●
honourable
Montjoy
Blount
(
now
Earle
of
Newport
)
L.
Montjoy
of
Thurleston
,
in
the
County
of
Darby
,
to
give
unto
him
and
his
heires
,
a
fee
of
20.
markes
per
annum
▪
which
I
note
here
,
by
reason
of
the
singularity
and
rarenesse
of
it
.
Nor
have
the
Kings
of
England
beene
●●customed
to
frame
new
honourary
titles
,
for
the
advancement
of
those
men
which
are
dear
unto
them
:
but
to
preferre
them
before
others
of
the
same
honourary
ranke
and
order
▪
Henry
the
sixth
bearing
especiall
affection
unto
Henry
Beauchamp
,
Earle
of
Warwick
,
first
made
him
the
prime
Earle
of
England
,
or
Praecomes
Angliae
.
And
when
he
after
made
him
Duke
of
Warwick
,
hee
ordered
him
to
have
precedencie
,
next
after
the
Duke
of
Norfolke
,
and
before
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
.
The
●ame
King
Henry
making
his
halfe-brother
Edmund
of
H●dham
,
Earle
of
Richmond
,
gave
him
the
place
above
all
Earles
,
and
next
of
all
unto
the
Dukes
.
Thus
did
King
Iames
of
blessed
memory
conferre
upon
the
Earle
of
N●●tingham
,
(
on
his
surrendry
of
the
place
and
Office
of
Lord
Admirall
)
the
seniority
and
precedencie
of
the
Mowbraies
,
(
out
of
which
house
he
was
extracted
)
during
the
life
of
the
said
Earle
.
And
thus
his
sacred
Majesty
now
being
,
when
he
created
the
right
honourable
the
Vis●ount
Walling
ford
,
Earle
of
Banbury
,
gave
him
precedencie
before
all
Earles
,
created
since
his
Majesties
happy
comming
to
the
Crowne
.
And
in
the
Patent
of
creation
of
the
right
honourable
the
Lord
Montjoy
,
3.
Can
there
was
a
clause
of
precedencie
inserted
,
before
all
the
Barons
of
that
yeere
,
by
which
hee
forthwith
had
the
place
both
of
the
Lord
Craven
,
and
the
Lord
Falconbridge
,
though
created
before
him
.
So
absolute
a
power
have
our
English
Monarchs
in
the
dispensing
of
their
honours
,
and
ma●shalling
those
persons
whom
they
have
advanced
to
these
high
dignities
.
As
for
the
Female
sex
,
they
have
no
reason
to
complaine
that
they
have
beene
neglected
or
omitted
in
the
distributing
of
these
honourary
rewards
and
dignities
:
some
of
them
having
had
the
happinesse
to
taste
the
bounty
of
the
Prince
in
the
highest
honours
.
For
thus
the
Lady
Margaret
d●
Brotherton
,
daughter
of
Thomas
of
Brotherton
,
Earle
of
Norfolke
,
was
by
King
Richard
the
second
,
made
Dutchesse
of
Norfolke
,
Anno
1398.
And
thus
the
Lady
Anne
Bullen
,
daughter
of
Thomas
Earle
of
Wil●s
,
was
by
King
Henry
8
made
Marchionesse
of
Pembroke
,
Anno
1532
▪
as
was
the
Lady
Margaret
,
daughter
of
Georg●
D.
of
Clarence
,
created
Countesse
of
Salisbury
by
the
same
King
Henry
;
Anno
1514
▪
Thus
also
the
Lady
Elizabeth
Finch
,
being
by
King
Iames
created
Viscountesse
M●idstone
,
was
by
our
gracious
Sove●a●gne
Lord
now
being
,
created
Countesse
of
Winchelsey
,
Anno
1628.
the
dignity
entailed
on
the
heires
males
of
her
body
hegotten
.
And
finally
,
thus
was
the
Lady
Elizabeth
Richardson
,
wife
of
Sir
Thomas
Richardson
Lord
Chiefe
Justice
,
created
Baronesse
Cramont
,
by
his
Majesty
now
re●gning
not
to
say
any
thing
of
the
Lady
Mary
Fane
Baronesse
Despencer
,
or
of
the
Lady
Margaret
Lennard
,
Ba●onesse
Dacres
of
the
South
;
being
restitutions
rather
then
creations
.
Now
for
the
method
which
I
am
to
use
in
this
following
Catalogue
,
it
shall
be
after
the
most
naturall
of
the
Alphabet
;
as
being
of
most
ease
and
speediest
use
in
finding
what
we
have
a
minde
to
looke
for
.
And
in
the
same
I
shall
lay
downe
the
just
successions
of
and
in
each
severall
title
,
(
premising
first
a
brief
description
of
the
plac●
denominating
)
together
with
the
yeere
of
Christs
nativity
,
wherein
each
severall
Duke
,
Earle
,
or
Marquesse
either
succeeded
in
the
place
,
or
was
advanced
unto
the
same
.
I
also
shall
report
in
briefe
,
on
what
pretext
of
bloud
such
and
such
men
attained
those
honours
which
they
have
enjoyed
;
If
any
neernesse
or
descent
of
bloud
was
pretended
by
them
:
and
where
a
family
breakes
off
,
and
a
new
comes
in
,
that
I
have
marked
with
a
few
crosses
thus
.
✚
✚
✚
✚
I
have
observed
also
who
and
how
many
of
each
title
have
managed
any
of
the
great
and
honourary
Offices
in
the
Common-wealth
:
as
those
of
Lord

Steward
,
Lord

Chamberlaine
,
Lord

,
Lord

,
Lord
Chancellour

Such
of
them
as
have
had
the
honour
to
be
admitted
into
the
Order
of
the
Garter
,
I
have
noted
with
this
littl●●sterisme
*
.
And
all
this
I
have
done

much

as
was
possible

〈◊〉
nothing

a

Catalogue
of

ho●ours
,
for
the
more
easie
understanding
of
o●r
English
History
,
which
was
the
matter
which
first
moved
me
to
compose
〈◊〉
Tables
.
As
for
the
order
of
precedencie
of
the
men
themselves
,
that
are
thus
dignified
and
advanced
,
as
now
they
stand
;
that
is
to
be
accounted
from
and
by
the
seniority
of
their
creations
in
their
severall
series
:
save
that
a
course
was
tooke
in
Parliament

for
placing
those
above

,
which
were
entrusted
with
the
greatest
Offices
of
State

As
,
viz.
that

with

Which
manner
of
precedencie
being
it
is
personall

as
unto

hath
no

for

places

have
given

and
for
the
men
that
have

taking
along
such
Lords

by

titles

and
no

those
.
Saint
Albans
.
S.
Albans
is
the
fairest
and
the
goodliest
town
in
the
County
of
Hertford
.
It
arose
out
of
the
ruines
of
old
Verulamium
,
a
towne
more
strong
and
ancient
●arre
,
(
as
being
the
strongest
Fort
of
all
the
Britaines
,
in
the
time
of
Caesar
)
though
not
hai●e
so
beautifull
.
It
took
both
name
,
original
,
&
Grandour
,
from
Alban
,
once
a
Citizen
of
Verulamium
:
who
suffering
Martyrdome
for
the
faith
of
Christ
,
during
the
persecution
of
Dioc●●●ian
;
had
first
a
faire
Church
built
in
memoriall
of
him
,
in
that
very
place
:
or
if
you
will
,
Ecclesia

condigna
,
in
the
Authors
language
.
(

)
.
But
this
Church
and
towne
of
Verulam
being
both
destroyed
,
in
those
fierce
warres
,
which
were
betweene
the
Saxons
and
the
Britains
,
Offa
the
great
and
puissant
K.
of
the
Mercians
,
built
not
farre
off
from
the
old
seate
,
a
Monastery
to
the
honour
of
Saint
Alban
;
endowed
it
with
a
great
revenue
,
and
many
goodly
priviledges
,
as
well
Ecclesiasticall
as
Temporall
.
This
in
short
time
,
improved
the
Monastery
into
a
towne
:
the
Abbat
in
regard
of
his
great
possession●
,
and
jurisdiction
correspondent
,
drawing
no
ordinary
con●●●ence
of
all

Pope
Adrian
,
borne
at
A●bats-Langley
,
about
five
miles
off
,
added
this
honour
to
the
place
,
that
as
Saint
Alban
was
the
first
Martyr
of
the
Engllsh
nation
:
so
should
the
Abbat
have
precedencie
of
all
English
Abbats
.

Anglesey

ANglesey
is
an
Iland
of
North-Wales
,
situate
over
against
Carna●vonshire
,
from
which
it
is
divided
by
a
narrow
straight
:
called
in
the
Latines
Mona
,
by
the
Britains
Mon
;
but
being
conquered
by
the
English
,
obtained
the
name
of
Anglesey
,
as
one
would
say
,
the
Iland
of
the
English-men
.
It
is
exceeding
fruitfull
both
in
corne
and
cattell
,
from
whence
the
Welch
are
liberally
stored

both

And
therefore
it
is
said
proverbially
,
Mon

that
Anglesey
is
the

.
That

,
or
A●bemarle
,
is
the
name
of
a
small
town
and
territory
in

BAnbury
is
a
towne
in
Oxfordshire
,
the
second
both
for
wealth
and
beauty
in
all
that
County
:
Most
famous
in
our
common
Chronicles
,
for
the
great
battell
there-by
fought
betweene
the
two
great
houses
of
Lancaster
and
Yorke
:
in
which
the
victory
fell
to
the
Eare
of
Warwick
,
then
chie●e
of
the
Lancastrian
party
,
who
forthwith
tooke
King
Edward
prisoner
(
of
that
name
the
fourth
)
now
forlorne
and
hopelesse
.
It
was
not
long
since
much
wasted
by
a
devouring
fire
,
but
very
well
repaired
and
beautified
;
and
still
is
as
it
hath
beene
anciently
,
cas●o
conficiendo
notissimum
,
as
Camden
notes
it
,
a
towne
much
famed
for
the
best
and
most
delicate
sort
of
Cheeses
.
It
never
had
but
one
Earle
,
and

BAthe
,
is
the
fairest
,
and
the
principall
City
in
all
Somersetshire
,
seated
in
a
very
low
Plaine
,
and
round
about
environed
with
hils
very
high
and
steepe
:
from
whence
come
many
rivulets
and
fresh-water
springs
,
to
the
great
commodity
of
the
people
.
But
that
which
brings
most
wealth
unto
the
place
,
are
not
the
waters
from
without
,
but
those
waters
which
are
within
;
sending
up
from
them
much
thinne
vapours
,
and
a
strong
sent
withall
;
which
springs
are
very
medicinable
unto
many
maladies
.
Three
of
these
springs
there
are
in
all
,
the
waters
of
the
which
being
received
in
large
and
fitting
receptacles
for
the
publick
use
;
they
call
the
Kings
Bath
,
the
crosse
Bath
,
and
the
hot
Bath
.
From
bathing
in
these
waters
,
it
was
called
the
Bath
;
and
thence
Batho●ia
in
the
Latine
:
unlesse
perhaps
you
rather
thinke
that
bathing
tooke
its
hint
from
hence
;
and
that
this
place
tooke
name
from
Badon
,
or
mons
Bado●icus
,
not
far
off
,
as
certainely
Caer
Badon
,
the
old
Britain●
called
it
.
The
Greeks
and
Latines
gave
it
names
according
to
the
nature
and
condition
of
the
waters
,
or
the
Baths
there
being
:
it
being
called
by

BEdford
is
one
of
those
three
Counties
which
anciently
were
possessed
by
the
Cattieuc●lani
▪
the
Countrey
indifferently
well
provided
of
all
necessaries
,
both
for
foode
and
fewell
.
It
taketh
denomination
from
the
chiefe
town
thereof
,
called
Bedford
,
or
in
the
old
Saxon
,
Bedanford
,
i.e.
Beds
,
or
Innes
at
the
Ford.
A
towne
conveniently
seated
on
both
sides
of
a
river
which
runneth
through
it
;
well
built
,
and
populous
,
as
having
in
it
no
lesse
then
five
Churches
.
But
the
chiefe
commendations
which
it
hath
,
is
for
the
antiquity
and
strength
thereof
;
as
being
a
towne
of
no
small
note
and
consequence
,
Anno
572.
when
as
Cuthwulf
the
Saxon
vanquished
the
Britain●
in
the
open
feild
,
and
became
Master
of
the
Countrey
.
The
Castle
here
being
counted
very
strong
,
and
almost
impregnable
,
brought
no
small
mischeife
to
the
place
,
being
a
peece
much
aimed
at
by
all
those
in
the
former
times
,
which
either
pretended
to
the
Crown
,
or
bate
armes
against
it
.
But
all
the
fortifications
being
demolished
in
the
reigne
of
K.
H.
3.
the
people
have
since
lived
in
quiet
:
and
the
chiefe
reputation
of
it
now
consisteth
in
this
,
that
it
hath
given
the
title
of
Dukes
and
Earles
to
these
persons
following
,
being
in
their
severall
ages
Dukes

BErkshire
was
anciently
in
the
Saxon
times
called
Berro●schire
:
which
name
the
learned
Antiquary
Master
Camden
out
of
Asserius
Menevensis
deriveth
from
Berroc
,
a
certaine
Forrest
,
where
grew
good
store
of
Box
,
to
which
the
people
used
in
the
time
of
danger
to
retire
themselves
.
I
lieth
conveniently
all
along
the
bankes
of
the
river
of
Thames
,
which
serves
them
well
for
the
conveyance
of
their
corne
,
fewell
,
and
other
commodities
to
the
City
of
London
:
and
containeth
in
it
140.
Parishes
,
of
the
which
12.
are
Market
townes
;
the
chiefe
,
Reading
,
and
Abington
.
But
that
which
gives
most
lustre
to
it
,
is
the
royall
Palace
and
Castle
of
Windsore
,
the
principall
seate
and
residence
of
the
most
honourable
order
of
the
Garter
:
and
indeed
the
most
magnificent
mansion
of
the
Kings
of
England
.
Camden
in
his
description
of
this
County
doth
conclude
it
thus
.
Thus
much
of
Barksh
▪
which
(
as
yet
)
hath
given
the
title
of
Earle
to
no
man
.
And
true
it
was
when
he
so
said
it
.
But
since
it
hath
bestowed
that
title
on
these
:
Earles
of
Berks.

BRISTOL
.
BRistol
the
third
in
ranke
of
the
Cities
of
England
,
is
situate
on
the
rivers
of
F●ome
and
Avon
,
not
far
off
from
the
entrance
of
the
Severne
into
the
Oc●an
.
In
that
regard
it
stands
commodiously
for
trade
and
trafick
,
the
ships
with
full
sayle
comming
up
into
the
bosome
of
the
City
;
and
verily
the
Cityzens
there
are
wealthy
Merchants
,
and
trade
into
the
most
part
of
the
world
with
good
faith
and
fortune
.
Part
of
it
stands
in
Somersetsh
.
and
part
in
Gloc●ster
shire
,
though
they
account
themselves
of
neither
:
being
a
County
in
it selfe
incorporate
,
and
independent
upon
any
other
than
its
own
Officers
.
A
town
exceeding
populous
,
and
exceeding

:
there
being
sinks
and
sewers
made
under

,
for
the
conveyance
of

which

The

BVCKINGHAM
.
BVckingham
is
another
of
the
three
Counties
,
which
were
once
the
seate
of
the
Cat●ieuchlani
:
and
is
supposed
to
take
that
name
from
Bucken
,
that
is
,
Beech-trees
,
with
which
the
Countrey
is
well
stored
.
It
is
generally
a
very
rich
and
plentifull
soyle
,
equally
good
for
corne
,
and
grazing
,
and
lieth
al
along
on
the
banke
of
the
Thames
,
confronting
Bark-shire
.
It
conteines
in
it
,
185
Parishes
,
eleven
of
the
which
are
market
townes
;
and
amongst
them
the
chiefe
in
name
is
Buckingham
,
the
head
town
of
the
County
.
A
town
of
no
great
note
,
when
it
was
at
the
best
;
but
more
considerable
heretofore
,
than
at
the
present
;
being
once
fortified
with
a
Castle
,
now
hardly
to
bee
found
in
the
very
ruines
,
as
also
with
a
rampire
and
certaine
sconces
,
built
for
defence
thereof
against
the
Danes
,
now
more
invisible
than
the
Castle
.
The
greatest
honour
it
can
chalenge
,
is
that
it
hath
given
titles
of
the
highest
honour

to
many
a

CAMBRIDGE
.
CAmbridge-shire
was
once
part
of
the
pos●essions
of
the
old
Iceni
,
and
takes
that
name
from
Cambridge
the
chiefe
town
thereof
;
and
that
derived
either
from
the
old
town
called
Camb●ritum
,
which
Antoninus
mentions
in
this
tract
,
or
else
,
as
other
have
conceived
,
from
a
bridge
built
on
the
river
cam
,
on
whose
banks
it
●tandeth
.
A
town
that
hath
beene
long
since
dedicated
unto
learning
:
here
being
a
publique
Schoole
erected
An.
630
or
thereabouts
,
by
Sebert
King
of
the
East
Angles
,
and
that
ad
morem
Cantuariorum
,
as
it
is
in
Beda
.
But
Schooles
and
studies
being
overthrown
by
the
Danish
fury
,
it
lay
long
forlorne
and
discontinued
,
till
it
beganne
to
flourish
under
the
calmer
times
of
the
Normans
government
,
that
is
to
say
,
about
the
middle
of
the
reign
of
K.
H.
the
first
,
the
3
K
▪
of
the
Norman
Kings
.
Nor
was
it
long
before
,
that
of
a
famous
Schoole
,
or
Schola
illustris
,
as
we
phrase
it
now
,
it
did
become
as
famous
an
Vniversity
:
Robert
de
Remington
affirming
,
that
in
the
reigne
of
Edward
the
1
it
was
made
an
Vniversity
such
as
Oxford
is
,
by
the
Court
of
Rome
.
There
are
now
16
Colleges
and
Hals
endowed
,
replenished
with
such
store
of
students
,
that
unlesse
it
be
in
her
sister
Oxford
,
the
like
are
not
found
in
all
Europe
.
But
we
must
leave
this
speculation
of
it
as
an
Academy
;
and
look
upon
it
next
as
a
title
of
honour
:
in
which
consideration
we
shall
find
it
no
lesse
fortunate
,
than
we
did
before
,
in
these
Earles
of
Cambridge
.

CARLILE
.
CArlile
is
the
principall
City
in
the
County
of
Cumb●rland
,
situate
in
the
furthest
part
of
the
Kingdome
toward
Scotland
,
on
the
Westerne
marches
:
fortified
with
a
Citadel
and
sundry
Bulwarks
for
a
defence
against
the
Scots
,
as
standing
in
a
place
of
most
advantage
for
the
securing
of
that
border
.
It
flourishedheretofore
in
the
time
of
the
Romans
,
and
was
by
them
called
Lugu-vallum
,
as
standing
on
the
Trench
,
or
Vallum
Picticum
,
the
Picts
wall
,
as
our
stories
call
it
;
made
by
the
Romans
to
defend
their
Province
from
the
Picts
and
Scots
.
So
that
it
seemes
of
old
to
have
been
the
boundary
betweene
the
nations
:
though
the
Northumbers
after
,
in
the
Saxon
times
,
enlarged
their
Empire
to
the
banks
of
Dunb●itton
Fryth
.
From
whence
,
or
when
it
fi●st
was
called
Carl●le
,
our
Authors
say
not
;
but
by
that
name
,
and
in
the
Latin
by
Ca●l●olum
,
it
h●th
long
been
known
.
The
Danes
consumed
it
into
ashes
,
and
it
lay
unrepaired
in
rubbish
,
til
the
time
of
Willi●m
Rufus
,
who
rebuilt
it
.
Since
which
by
the
accession
of
the
Episcopall
See
,
erected
there
by
H.
the
first
,
who
succeeded
Rufus
;
it
came
to
be
of
wealth
and
cre●it
:
and
hath
given
the
title
of
an
Earldome
to
two
severall
Families
,
wh●ch
being

a

The
Country
not
so
plentifull

fruitfull

no
one
thing
more

CHESTERFEILD
.
CHesterfield
is
a
town
of
Darbysh
.
commonly
called
Chester●eild
in
Scardale
.
A
towne
,
which
by
the
ruines
of
it
doth
seem
to
be
of
good
antiquity
;
and
therefore
likely
to
have
had
some
more
ancient
name
,
which
seemes
to
be
now
buried
in
those
ruines
;
or
by
continuance
of
time
,
quite
worne
out
and
lost
.
It
glorieth
much
of
being
made
a
free
Burrough
,
in
the
time
of
K.
Iohn
;
and
for
the
battaile
fought
hard
by
between
K.
Henry

,
and
his
rebellious
Barons
,
in
which
Rob.

Ferrers
,
Earle
of
Darby
,
being
taken
prisoner
,
lost
his
Estate
and
Dignity
,
though
not
his
life
.
But
that
in
which
it
hath
most
cause
to
glory
,
is
that
from
an
ordinary
Market
Town
,
it
is
become
the
seate
of
an
Earldome
,
the
stile

CLARE
&
CLARENCE
.
CLare
is
an
ancient
Town
on
the
edge
of
Suffolk
,
where
it
joyneth
to
Essex
,
seated
not
far
off
from
the
banks
of
the
river
Stoure
by
which
the
Counties
are
divided
.
A
Town
that
hath
not
any
thing
whereof
to
boast
(
the
Castle
and
the
Collegiall
Church
being
both
in
rubbish
)
but
that
it
gave
both
name
and
title
unto
that
noble
Family
,
si●named
De
Clare
;
who
in
their
times
were
Earles
of
Hartford
,
Clare
and
Gloucester
.

of

Clares

was
made
Duke
of
Clarence
;
the
termination
of
the
title
,
being
only
changed
,
not
the
place
denominating
.
And
from
the
change
thus
made
(
which
I
note
only
by
the
way
)
the
second
king
of
Armes
is
surnamed
Clarentieux
;

CORNWALL
.
COrnwall
is
the
most
western
part
of
England
,
and
takes
denomination
from
the
shape
and
fashion
of
it
,
being
like
an
horne
;
which
the
old
Britans
called
Kern
,
as
now
the
Welch
call
the
countrey
Kernaw
.
The
people
of
it
are
a
remainder
generally
of
the
antient
Britans
;
whose
language
,
for
much
of
it
,
they
do
still
retaine
:
although
by
intermixture
of
the
Saxons
,
not
easie
to
be
understood
by
the
Welch
themselves
.
The
Countrey
very
mountainous
,
as
Wales
is
also
;
and
therefore
of
the
lesse
accesse
to
the
Conquering
Saxons
:
but
the
sea-costs
well
beautified
with
goodly
townes
,
able
to
set
to
Sea
,
a
good
Fleet
of
shippes
.
And
for
the
mountaines
,
they
doe
recompence
their
defects
without
,
by
their
abundant
wealth
within
;
as
being
very
full
of
mines
of
tinne
,
which
yeelds
great
profit
to
the
Countrey
,
and
furnisheth
▪
most
parts
of
Christendome
with
that
commodity
.
The
Earles
of
Cornwall
heretofore
gave
great
immunities
and
liberties
to
those
that
laboured
in
these
mines
;
and
when
this
Earldome
fell
again
unto
the
Crown
,
Edw.
the
3
erected
a
L.
Warden
of
the
Stannaries
,
to
have
the
government
thereof
.
And
at
that
time
of
its
reverting
to
the
Crown
,
the
L.
K.
Edw.
gave
it
to
his
son
,
surnamed
the
black
Prince
;
since
the
which
time
,
the
eldest
sons
of
the
Kings
of
England
,
whether
it
be
by
birth
,
or
by
the
death
of
their
Elder
brothers
,
are
ipso
facto
Dukes
of
Cornwall
,
without
any
creation
,
and
are
at
age
to
sue
their
livery
,
how
young
soever

thus

COVENTRY
.
COventry
is
a
faire
and
goodly
City
,
within
the
limits
of
Warw●ck
shire
,
but
now
within
the
County
of
Warwi●k
;
heretofore
called
so
from
the
Convent
,
by
which
and
the
translating
of
the
See
Epi●copal●
from
Lichf●ild
hither
,
it
grew
exceeding
rich
and
wealthy
.
And
though
it
now
hath
neither
Convent
,
nor
Episcopall
See
(
more
than
in
ruine
and
in
title
)
it
still
continues
its
old
wealth
;
being
the
best
City
of
mart
and
trade
in
all
these
parts
;
commodiously
built
and
seated
,
and
more
than
ordinarily
frequented
for
an
Inland
Towne
.
It
belonged
once
unto
the
●arles
of
Chester
,
and
afterward
by
many
meane
conveyances
to
Iohn
of
Eltham
Earle
of
Cornwall
;
and
so
this
place
became
annexed
unto
that
Earldome
.
Nor
lost
it
any
thing
,
but
rather
gained
much
by
that
annexation
:
Henry
the
6.
laying
unto
it
certaine
the
adjacent
Villages
:
and
making
it
with
them
a
County
corporate
,
cleerely
distinct
from
that
of
Warwick
.
It
is
now
one
of
the
honourary
titles
of
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
George
Marquesse
of
Buckingham
,
being
created
Duke

It
is
called

the
true
and

Britans
,
(

when
as
the
residue

Northern
parts
had
yeelded

Saxon.
A

for
the
situation

;
the

,
the

the
Meeres
replenished
with
all

Sea
affording
a
variety
of
excellent

It
conteineth

it
not
above
58
Parish
Churches

very
many

DArbyshire

no

DENBIGH
.
Denbigh-shire
is
one
of
the
shires
of
Northwales
,
heretofore
appertaining
to
the
Ordevices
.
The
Countrey
very
mounteinous
,
and
as
barren
generally
;
though
by
the
paines
and
industry
of
the
husband-man
,
it
be
made
in
some
parts
very
fruitfull
.
The
chiefe
towne
Denbigh
is
well
seated
on
the
banks
of
the
river
Istrad
,
which
from
thence
runneth
into
the
Cluyd
,
the
fairest
river
of
this
countrey
.
A
town
well
peopled
and
inhabited
,
especially
since
it
became
the
head
of
the
county
;
which
was
not
till

what
time
the
five
new
shires
were
added
to
the
rest

,
of
which
this
was
one
.
But
before
that
it
was
the
head
town
of
the
Barony
of
Denbigh
,
being
conceived
to
be
one
of
the
goodliest
territories
in
all
England
,
as
having
more
Gentlemen
holding
thereof
in
fee
,

,

it

DEVONSHIRE
.
DEvonshire
is
the
most
Western
Countrey
of
all
England
,
excepting
Cornwall
,
together
with
the
which
it
made
up
the
possession
of
the
old
Danmon
i.
It
is
called
Devi●an
by
the
Cornish
Britans
,
that
is
,
the
country
of
Low-valleies
,
because
the
people
dwel
for
the
most
part
beneath
in
vales
.
From
thence
the
Saxons
had
their
Devenshire
;
and
the
Latin●s
borrow
their
Devonia
A
countrey
harborous
on
either
side
with
commodious
Havens
,
enriched
with
inexhaustable
mines
of
tinne
,
beautified
with
fresh
and
pleasant
meadows
,
shaded
again
in
other
parts
with
greater
store
of
woods
,
and
very
well
replenished
with
Towns
and
Villages
;
whereof
it
reckoneth
in
the
whole
394
Parishes
,
and
therein
37
Market
townes
of
good
note
and
trade
.
The
countrey
of
it selfe
not
so
fit
for
corne
,
but
that
the
toyle
and
travaile
of
the
plou●●●an
supplies
that
defect
,
and
addes
unto
it
both
by
cost
and
industry
what
it
wants
by
Nature
.
Earles
it
hath
had
of
severall
Families
;
of
which
the
Rivers
and
the
Courtneys
held
the
title
long
:
as
now
the
Cavendishes
may
doe
,

it

upon

of

having
the
Sea
up
on
the

Somersetshire

It
was
inhabited
hertofore
by

was

did
inhabit
.
The

the

in

where

DOVER
.
DOver
,
is
a
well
knowne
and
famous
Town
,
both
for
the
Haven
and
the
Castle
,
for
the
security
and
renown
of
which
and
the
convenient
si●uation
of
it
over
against
France
;
it
hath
long
beene
accounted
one
of
the
Cinque
Ports
.
Seated
it
is
in
the
very
South-East
point
of
Kent
,
from
whence
a
man
may
easily
discerne
the
coast
of
F●ance
as
being
but
34
miles
distant
.
The
●own
stands
in
the
bottom
between
the
clyffes
,
very
warme
and
safe
;
the
Castle
mounted
up
aloft
,
both
to
comand
and
to
defend
it
A
place
indeed
of
such
impregnable
strength
,
and
so
great
importance
,
that
Philip
King
of
France
,
when
L●wys
his
son
being
called
in
hither
by
the
factious
Barons
against
their
Soveraigne
L.

Iohn
,
had
gotten
many
Townes

ESSEX
.
ESsex
was
anciently
perteining
to
the
East
-
Saxons
,
and
made
a
chiefe
part
of
their
Kingdome
;
hence
it
took
the
name
.
Before
it
did
belong
to
the
Tr●nobantes
.
A
Countrey
large
in
compasse
,
fruitfull
of
corne
and
other
sorts
of
graine
,
plentifull
in
saffron
wel
wooded
and
wel
watred
also
;
&
that
not
only
by
the
Sea
,
and
the
River
of
Thams
,
which
washeth
all
one
side
thereof
,
but
with
faire
,
and
fresh
,
and
fishful
Rivers
,
which
do
afford
no
smal
commodity
unto
it
.
The
greatest
want
it
hath
is
of
sweet
fresh
aire
;
those
parts
thereof
which
lye
along
upon
the
Thames
,
(
which
they
call
the
hundreds
)
being
very
aguish
and
unhealthy
.
This
County
conteineth
in
it
415
Parish
Churches
,
whereof
21
are
Market
Townes
,
of
which
Colchester
is
farre
the
richest
,
fairest
and
best
traded
.
Yet
in
regard
it
standeth
in
the
extremity
of
all
the
Countrey
,
the
Sessions
and
Assisses
are
held
most
commonly
at
Chelmesford
,
which
is
almost
in
the
middle
of
it
.
But
it
is
time
to
leave
the
Countrey
,
and
come
unto
The
Earles
of
Essex
.

FLINT

F●intshire

(
for

Yet
it
is
still
the
lest
of
all
,
as
not
containing
above
2●
Parishes
,
and
of
them
only
one
market
town
.
The
Countrey
not
so
mounteinous
as
the
rest
of
Wales
;
exceedingly
well
furnished
both
with
corne
for
men
,
and
grasse
for
cattell
;
of
which
it
hath
good
store
for
number
,
though
for
bulke
but
litle
.
It
tooke
denomination
from
the
Castle
of
Flint
,
begun
by
H.
2
,
but
finished
by
K.
Edw
1
,
for
a
goodfence
against
the
Welch
.
This
Country
hath
been
always
held
to
bee
an
appendant
on
that
of
Chester
,
and
doth
ad
gladium
Cestriae
pertinere
,
as
the
old
books
●ay
:
but
both
united
now
unto
the
principality
of
Wales
.
Edward
of
Windsore
eldest
son
of
K.
Edw.
2
was
summoned
by
his
father
to
the
Parliament
by
the
name
of
E.
of
Chester
,
and
Flint
;
since
which
it
hath
continued
as
a
title
in
the
Princes
of
Wales
;
and
there
you
shall
be
sure
to
find
who
were
Earles
of
Flint
.
GLOCESTER
.
GLocester●shire
,
antiently
was
part
of
the
possessions
of
the
Dobuni
.
A
fruitful
and
a
pleasant
Countrey
,
being
honoured
with
a
full
course
of
the
river
of
Severne
,
and
the
originall
or
fountaine
of
the
River
of
Thames
.
That
part
thereof
which
is
beyond
the
Se●erne
is
overspread
with
woods
;
all
which
included
in
one
name
,
make
the
Forrest
of
Deane
.
That
part
that
butteth
upon
Oxfordshire
,
is
swelled
up
with
hils
,
called
the
Cotswold
hils
;
but
these
even
covered
,
as
it
were
with
sheep
,
which
yeelds
a
wooll
of
notable
finenes●e
,
hardly
inferiour
to
the
best
of
England
.
Between
those
two
is
seated
a
most
fruitfull
Vale
,
fruitfull
to
admiration
,
of
all
kindes
of
graine
,
and
heretofore
of
Vine●
and
Vineyards
;
the
want
of
which
is
now
supplied
by
a
drink
made
of
Apples
,
called
Syder
,
which
here
they
make
in
great
abundance
.
In
this
so
fruitfull
Vale
stands
the
City
of
Glocester
,
denominating
all
the
Countrey
;
and
taking
name
from
the
old
Glevum
,
herein
placed
by
Antonine
;
for
Gleaucester
the
Saxons
stiled
it
.
A
fine
and
neate
city
I
assure
you
t
is
,
daintily
seated
on
the
Severne
;
with
a
large
Keye
or
wharse
on
the
bankes
thereof
,
very
commodious
to
the
Merchandise
and
trade
of
the
place
▪
The
streets
are
generally
faire
,
and
the
town
well
built
.
And
which
addes
no
smal
lustre
to
it
,
Richard
the
3
,
once
Duke
hereof
,
by
laying
unto
it
two
of
the
adjacent
hundreds
made
it
a
County
of
it selfe
;
calling
it
the
County
of
the
City
of
Glocester
.
A
City
finally
it
is
,
as
worthy
to
denominate
so
rich
a
Countrey
,
as
is
the
Countrey
to
give
title
to
those
eminent
persons
,
that
in
their
severall
times
and
ages
,
have
been
the
Dukes
and
Earles
of
Glocester
.

HARTFORD
.
HArtford-shire
is
another
of
those
Countries
,
which
formerly
were
inhabited
by
the
Cattreuch●ani
.
A
Country
,
as
it
is
described
by
Camden
,
rich
in
corne
fields
pastures
,
meadowes
,
woods
,
groves
,
and
cleere
riverets
;
and
which
for
ancient
Townes
may
compare
with
any
of

neighbours
;
there
being
no
one
shire
in
England
,
that
can

antiquity
,
in
so
small
a
compasse
.
It
conteines
in
it

120

The
Shire-towne

the
Country
is
Hertford
,
seated
on
the
banke
of

which
some
interpret

enjoyeth

HEREFORD
.
HEreford-shire
,
was
in
times
past
inhabited
by
the
Silures
.
A
Countrey
,
which
besides
that
it
is
right
pleasant
,
is
for
yeelding
of
corne
,
and
feeding
of
cattell
,
in
all
places
most
fruitfull
,
and
therewith
passing
well
furnished
with
all
things
necessary
for
mans
life
;
insomuch
that
it
would
scorne
to
come
hehind
any
one
County
in
England
,
the
people
using
it
for
a
byword
,
that
for
three
W.W.W.
that
is
,
Wheat
,
Wooll
,
and
Water
,
it
yeeldeth
to
no
shire
in
all
the
Kingdome
.
The
name
is
taketh
from
Hereford
,
the
chief
Town
thereof
,
which
rose
out
of
the
ruines
of
old
Ariconium
,
here
placed
by
Antonine
;
the
tract
and
foot-steps
of
which
name
,
it
doth
still
retaine
.
The
Town
is
seated
very
pleasantly
upon
the
banks
of
the
River
Wye
,
in
the
middle
of
most
flourishing
Meadowes
,
and
no
lesse
plentifull
corne
fields
:
and
for
defence
thereof
,
had
once
a
strong
and
stately
Castle
,
which
now
time
hath
ruined
.
The
Normans
became
masters
of
the
place
,
assoone
almost
as
they
had
made
their
entrance
into
England
,
and
unto
them
the
Castle
oweth
its
original
;
and
2
yeares
after
the
said
Conquest
,
it
was
made
an
Earldom
,
and
hath
since
given
the
title
of
Dukes

HVNTINGDON
.
HVntingdon-shire
was
heretofore
inhabited
by
the
Iceni
.
A
Country
generally
good
for
corne
and
tillage
;
and
towards
the
East
,
where
it
adjoyneth
on
the
fennes
,
as
rich
in
pasturage
:
elsewhere
it
is
as
pleasant
,
though
not
so
profitable
,
by
reason
of
the
rising
hils
,
and
fine
shady
groves
.
It
hath
been
heretofore
well
beset
with
Woods
,
and
was
indeed
a
Forest
till
the
time
of
King
Henry
the
second
,
in
the
beginning
of
whose
reigne
,
disforested
.
In
this
regard
,
the
Forest
yeelding
speciall
opportunity
,
and
delight
for
Hunters
,
the
chiefe
Town
of
it
had
the
name
of
Hunter
downe
,
we
now
call
it
Huntingod●
,
with
very
little
variation
.
The
Towne
commodiously
seated
upon
the
northern
bank
of
the
River
Ouse
,
rising
unto
the
No●th
on
the
ascent
of
an
hill
:
adorned
with
foure
parish
Churches
,
and
had
a
little
A●bey
once
,
founded
by
Maud
the
Emper.
and
Eustace
Lovelos●
:
the
ruines
of
the
which
,
and
of
a
far●e
more
ancient
Castle
,
built
by
King
Edward
the
older
,
Anno
917
▪
are
yet
to
be
seene
.
This
County
con●●ineth
in
it
five
other
market
Townes
,
besides
the
shire-Towne
,
and
79
Parishes
in
the
whole
:
and
did
become
an
Earldome
presently
on

Conquest

it
hath
ever

continued

KINGSTON
.
KIngston
,
is
the
name
of
a
well
known
and
eminent
Town
in
the
East
Riding
of
York-shire
,
which
standing
on
the
mouth
of
the
river
Hull
,
where
it
doth
fall
into
the
Humber
,
is
better
known
amongst
us
by
the
name
of
Hull
.
A
town
indeed
of
no
antiquity
,
being
first
built
by
Edward
the
●
,
who
liking
the
situation
of
the
place
,
compounded
for
it
with
the
Abbot
of
Meaux
,
(
to
whom
it
formerly
belonged
)
and
there
built
the
town
,
and
caused
it
to
be
called
Kingston
.
It
rose
up
in
a
little
time
to
great
reputation
;
so
that
for
faire
and
sumptuous
buildi●gs
,
strong
blockhouses

well

wealth

,
it

LANCASTER
.
LAncashi●e
,
or
the
County
Palatine
of
Lancaster
,
was
heretofore
a
part
of
the
Brigants
;
and
lieth
upon
the
Irish●ea
●ea
▪
to
the
North
of
Ch●shire
.
The
ground
accounted
not
so
fert●le
as
in
other
places
,
fitter
for
oates
and
such
leane
corne
,
than
wheate
or
barley
.
And
yet
it
is
observed
with
all
,
that
in
t●ose
parts
thereof
,
in
which
the
husbandman
is
not
wanting
to
it
,
in
cost
and
labour
,
that
there
it
yeldeth
corne
in
a
very
good
measure
.
The
ayre
ther●of
may
seem
to
be
very
healthfull
;
and
one
would
easily
co●jecture
so
by
the
complexion
of
the
people
,
which
ar●
faire
and
beautifull
.
And
yet
the
Country
is
not
much
inhabited
,
as
in
the
n●ighbouring
shires
▪
about
them
:
there
being
in
so
large
a
quantity
of
ground
,
as
this
shire
con●aines
,
not
above
36
▪
Parishes
though
indeed
many
Chappel●
of
Ease
,
equall
to
P●rishes
elsewhere
for
multitudes
of
people
.
It
takes
name
from
the
Town
of
Lancas●e●
,
or
more
truly
L●ncaster
,
seated
upon
the
banks
of
the
river
L●nc
,
whence
it
had
the
name
;
the
Saxons
adding
Ceaster
(
as
in
other
places
)
for
the
●ermination
.
The
Town
not
very
well
peopled
,
nor
much
frequented
;
and
yet
of
that
authority
and
credit
,
that
it
gives
name
to
all
the
County
,
and
hath
obteined
this
priviledge
from
K.
Edw.
the
3
,
that
the
Sessions
and
Assises
should
be
held
in
no
other
place
.
What
Lords
and
Governours
it
had
in
the
former
times
,
we
regard
not
here
.
The
first
time
it
became
an
Earldome
,
was
when
K.
H.
3
,
conferred
that
title
on
his
2
son
Edm.
and
it
was
destin●te
to
greatnesse
in
the
first
foundation
;
there
being
layed
unto
it
at
the
ve●y
first
,
besides
this
County
,
the
whole
con●iscated
estates
of
the
E●rles
of
Leices●er
and
Darby
,
and
the
B●rony
of

.
And

the

estates
of

,
E.

,
〈◊〉
,
and

;
the

,
and

of

,
the
Lorships
of

,
which
were
once

indifferent

LINCOLN
.
LIncoln-shire
antiently
belonged
to
the
Core●ani
.
A
very
large
and
spacious
Countrey
,
extending
almost
60
miles
in
length
,
and
some
30
in
breadth
;
within
which
compasse
are
included
630
▪
Parish
Churches
,
and
of
them
30
market
Towns
.
It
is
accounted
very
kindly
ground
for
the
yeeld
of
corn
,
and
feeding
of
cattell
,
and
furnished
in
the
lower
part
thereof
with
good
store
of
fowle
,
which
from
hence
are
conveied
to
London
in
great
abundance
.
It
takes
name
from
the
principall
City
,
by
Ptolomy
and
Antonin●
,
called
Lindum
;
and
after
by
the
Saxons
Lind●colline
,
either
because
it
stands
on
so
high
an
hill
(
from
the
Latine
Collis
)
or
that
it
had
been
formerly
some
Roman
Colony
.
A
Town
of
great
renown
and
strength
in
the
times
of
the
Britans
,
and
in
the
Normans
time
(
as
saith
William
of
Malmesbury
)
it
was
one
of
the
best
peopled
Cities
of
England
;
a
place
of
merchandise
and
traffick
for
al
commers
,
both
by
sea

land
;
insomuch
that
〈◊〉
then
Bishop

thought
fitting

From

MARCH
.
March
is
a
name
of
different
nature
,
from
the
rest
before
,
as
being
neither
Towne
nor
County
.
Vnder
that
name
of
March
or
of
Marches
rather
,
our
Ancestors
did
comprehend
those
ba●able
grounds
between
Wales
and
Eng.
for
governance
whereof
,
and
the
repressing
of
the
insolencies
of
either
side
,
there
were
certaine
Lords
and
Potent
men
,
whose
lands
lay
nearest
to
these
parts
,
which
were
called
Lords
Marchers
,
who
had
great
power
and
jurisdiction
in
their
severall
quarters
.
Amongst
these
were
the
Mortimers
of
Wigmore
,
men
of
great
authority
,
who
after
were
advanced
above
the
rest
,
and
made
Earles
of
March.
And
it
continued
in
that
Family
,
untill
it
fell
by
marriage
to
the
house
of
York
;
and
so
by
Edw.
the
4
,
to
the
Crown
of
Eng.
Nor
was
it
long
before
the
authority
of
the
Lords
Marchers
was
extinguished
quite
,
by
the
uniting
of
Wales
to
E●
.

MARLEBVRGH
.
MArleburgh
is
a
Town
in
the
North-east
part
of
Wilt-shire
,
seated
not
far
off
from
the
head
of
the
river
Kenet
:
which
runneth
thence
to
Hung●rford
,
and
Newbury
,
and
so
by
Reading
into
the
Thames
.
The
Towne
called
antiently
Cunetio
in
Antonino's
Itinerarium
,
as
the
river
was
:
but
by
the
Normans
,
in
whose
time
this
Town
revived
(
out
of
the
ruines
of
the
old
)
it
was
called
Marleburgh
,
as
being
seated
in
a
chaulky
soyle
,
which
in
some
places
still
we
call
by
the
name
of
Marle
.
A
Town
stretched
out
from
East
to
West
,
upon
the
pendant
of
an
hill
,
and
had
a
Castle
once
belonging
unto
Iohn
,
sirnamed
Sans
t●rre
,
who
afterwards
was
K.
of
England
which
is
still
famous
in
our
Law
books
,
for
a
Parliament
there
held
,
52.

,
in
which
were
made
the

(
from
hence
called
)
of

,
right
necessary
for
the
peace
and
tranquility
of
the
people
,
as
is
affirmed
in
the
preamble
unto
the
same
.
Our
Soveraigne
at
his
Coronation
made
it
yet
more
notable
,
in
making
it
th●

,

it

MARSHALL
.
THe
title
of
E.
Ma●shall
is
different
from
the
rest
of
England
,
all
of
the
which
(
the
title
of
Earle
Rivers
excepted
only
)
are
locall
,
or
denominated
from
some
place
;
this
only
personall
:
the
residue
being
only
honorary
,
this
honorary
and
officiary
,
both
together
.
Antiently
they
that
had
this
office
were
only
Marshals
of
the
Kings
house
,
according
as
the
same
is
now
discharged
by
the
Knights
Marshall
.
But
in
succeeding
times
it
grew
to
be
a
place
of
great
power
,
and
honour
;
as
it
still
continueth
.
At
first
they
had
the
title
of
L.
Marshall
only
.
Rich.
the
2
was
the
first
,
who
by
letters
Pa●ents
advanced
them
to
the
dignity
of
Earles
Marshals
,
and
with
all
gave
them
power
to
beare
a
staf●e
of
gold
,
enammeled
black
at
both
ends
,
with
the
Kings
Armes
on
the
upper
end
,
and
their
own
Armes
on
the
lower
;
whereas
before
that
time
,
the
Marsh●ls
;
had
no
other
than
a
wooden
staffe
,
as
other
the
Great
Officers
have
at
Court
.
Before
this
time
,
they

For
howsoever
the
title
of
E.
Marshall
and
Comes
Marescallus
,
doth
many
times
occurre
in
our
antient
histories
.
Yet
I
conceive
that
it
was
only
given
them
then
by
the
cour●esie
or
curiality
of
England
,
because
the
Office
in
those
dayes
was
vested
in
the
person
of
none
but
Earles
;
as
by
the
like
mistake
or
courtesie
,
we
find
the
title
of
Comes
Seneschallus
,
and
Comes
Constabularius
in
some
old
Records
.
the
manour
of
Hamsted
Marshall
in
the
County
of
Berkshire
,
was
held
of
old
by
Grand
Sergianty
of
the
Kings
of
England
;
conditioned
that
the
Grantees
should
for
ever
be
the
K.
Marshals
,
according
as
the
Offices
of
Steward
,
Constable
,
and
Lord
High
Chamberlaine
,
in
those
times
were
granted
.
What
the
authority
and
jurisdiction
is
of
this
great
Officer
,
we
regard
not
here
,
it
being
our
undertaking
only
to

down
the

of

MONMOVTH
.
MOnmouth-shire
is
the
neerest
shire
of
Wales
,
though
it
desires
rather
to
be
accounted
a
part
of
England
,
and
is
indeed
included
in
the
circuit
of
the
English
Iudges
.
It
lieth
upon
the
North
of
the
river
Sev●n
,
there
where
it
groweth
into
a
Sea
;
the
East
parts
full
of
grasse
and
woods
,
the
West
somewhat
hilly
,
and
stony
withall
;
yet
not
unprofitable
to
the
husbandman
,
if
he
be
not
wanting
to
himselfe
.
It
takes
name
from
the
chiefe
Town
Monmouth
,
and
that
from
being
seated
on
the
mouth
of
the
River
Mu●ow
,
there
where
it
shootes
into
the
Wye
.
It
was
the
Barony
once
of
Iohn
L.
of
Monmouth
,
on
whose
attaindure
it
was
setled
in
the
house
of
Lancas●er
;
from
whom
it
after
did
receive
great
priviledges
and
immunities
,
which
they
still
enjoy
.
Henry
the
fift
,
son
unto
King
Henry
the
fourth
(
the
first
of
the
Lancastrian
Family
)
was
in
this
place
borne
,
(
which
shewes
that
noble
Family
so
highly
prized
it
,
to
make
it
their
dwelling
)
and
was
from
hence
called
Henry
of
Monmouth
.
That
one
particular
enough
,
to
renown
the
place
;
and
therefore
we
shall
adde
no
more
.
It
is
b●longing
still
to
the
house
of
Lancaster
,
as
to
the

,
being
dependant

adorned

A

NORFOLK
.
NOrfolk
is
the
greatest
County
of
Eng.
next
to
Yorksh.
but
far
〈◊〉
populous
than
that
;
as
comprehending
in
the
whole
660
Parish
Churches
,
of
which
27
are
market
towns
.
It
antiently
was
a
part
of
the
Iceni
,
and
next
the
Northern
part
of
the
Kingdome
of
the
East-Angles
,
from
whence
it
had
the
name
of
Northfolk
,
as
hath
the
Southern
people
of
it
,
the
name
of
Southfolk
.
The
soyle
according
to
the
variety
of
places
is
of
different
nature
;
in
some
fat
,
rank
,
and
full
of
moysture
;
in
others
very
light
and
sandy
:
yet
so
that
one
contributing
unto
the
other
,
and
the
sea
giving
help
to
both
,
it
is
very
plentifull
country
for
corne
,
sheep
,
and
fish
.
The
people
notably
industrious
both
for
plough
and
manufactures
;
insomuch
that
one
shall
hardly
see
a
begger
throughout
all
the
Countrey
:
And
yet
(
which
makes
the
merveile
much
the
greater
)
they
are
notable
wranglers
,
well
versed
and
studied
in
the
quirks
of
Law
,
and
consequently
create
more
work
for
the
Assises
,
than
almost
all
the
circuit
else
.
But
then
it
is
observed
withall
,
that
this
disposition
hath
brought
some
reputation
with
it
,
as
furnishing
the
Courts
of
Ius●ice
with
many
an
eminent
man
in
the
laws
of
Eng.
and
yeelding
generally
the
best
breed
of
Lawyers
.
It
is
observed
,
by
a
great
antiquary
of
this
Kingd
.
that
in
this
County
are
●oo
Families
of
antient
Gentry
,
which
never
were
attainted
of
high
treason
,
which
if
it
be
true
,
the
Gentry
of
Norfolk
have
had
better
fortune
than
the
Dukes
and
Earles
.

NORTHAMPTON
.
THe
County
of
Northampton
,
is
situate
almost
in
the
very
mid●le
and
heart
of
Eng.
A
Champion
Countrey
for
the
most
part
,
exceeding
populous
,
and
●o
replenished
with
Townes
and
Churches
,
(
being
in
all
326
,
whereof
10
are
markets
)
that
in
some
places
there
are
20
or
30
steeples
to
be
seen
at
once
.
The
soyle
exceeding
fertile
both
for
tillage
and
pasture
,
maintaining
numerous
flocks
of
sheep
,
and
herds
of
cattell
;
but
somewhat
destitute
of
woods
.
It
takes
name
from
North●●pton
,
the
chiefe
towne
thereof
,
seated
upon
the
river
Nen
;
which
antiently
called
A●fona
,
but
corruptly
Antona
,
bestowed
this
name
upon
the
town
,
being
indeed
built
on
the
Northern
bank
.
A
town
which
for
the
beauty
and
circuit
of
it
,
may
be
well
ranked
with
many
Cities
of
the
Kingdome
:
and
heretofore
so
safe
and
sure
by
reason
of
the
strong
wals
,
(
from
whence
there
is
a
goodly
prospect
into
all
the
County
)
&
a
strong
Castle
,
now
demolished
;
that
once
the
students
of
Cambridge
had
a
purpose
to
remove
their
Vniversity
unto
it
.
This
strength
however
made
it
obnoxious
to
some
disadvantage
,
as
being
a
place
much
aimed
at
in
our
Civill
wars
,
and
many
a
battaile
fought
about
it
,
Yet
never
were
the
times
so
turbulent
▪
or
the
place
so
dangerous
,
but
that
there
were
some
persons
of
superior
ranke
,
who
did
affect
the
name
,
and
enjoy
the
title
of
Earles
and
Marq.
of
Northampton
.

NOrthumberland
is
a
more
contracted
name
now
,
than
in
former
times
.
Heretofore
it
included
all
the
Countries
on
the
North
of
Humber
,
possessed
of
old
by
the
B●igan●●s
,
and
the
Ottadini
,
now
only
the
extreame
a●d
most
northerne
part
,
betwixt
the
rivers
of
Tine
and
Twede
,
all
which
the
Oltadini
once
inhabited
.
The
aire
exceeding
sharp
and
piercing
,
as
being
often
visited
with
boystrous
winds
,
hard
frosts
,
and
tedious
snows
;
to
remedy
which
it
yeelds
abundance
of
sea-coale
for
fuell
,
and
at
very
cheap
rates
.
The
soyle
in
generall
neither
fertile
for
corn
or
pasturage
,
as
being
for
the
most
part
exceeding
rough
and
very
hard
to
be
manured
,
only
in
some
parts
towards
the
sea
,
by
the
late
industry
of
the
ploughman
,
and
benefit
of
sea-weed
,
wherewith
they
do
improve
their
ground
,
it
is
become
indifferent
fruitfull
.
The
Countrey
meanly
populous
,
and
but
ill
inhabited
,
partly
by
reason
of
the
barrennesse
of
the
Country
,
as
before
is
said
,
and
partly
for
the
bad
neighbourhood
of
the
Scots
,
as
commonly
it
is
in
March-lands
or
frontier
countreyes
.
In
this
regard
,
it
had
almost
as
many
Castles
for
defence
of
themselves
▪
as
is
Parish
Churches
for
the
service
of
God
,
there
being
26
of
the
one
,
and
but
46
of
the
other
;
but
then
withall
the
P●●●shes
were
and
are
exceeding
large
,
and
have
many
Chappels
of
ease
perteining
to
them
,
which
inconvenienc●
of
the
soyle
&
seat
may
possibly
have
beene
the
reason
why
the
possession
of
it
held
not
long
in
any
Family
(
although
the
title
and
possession
of
it
had
been
given
to
many
)
untill
the
Percyes
:
who
not
without
some
interruption
too
,
have
continued
long
.
By
reason
of
which
intermixture
of
severall
Families
;
it
hath
given
to
those
Families
the
severall
titles
of
Duke
,
and
Earles
of
Northumberland

NORWICH
.
NOrwich
is
the
chiefe
City
of
Norfolk
,
and
took
that
name
as
did
the
County
,
from
the
Northern
situation
of
it
.
It
standeth
upon
the
river
of
Yare
,
which
runs
thence
to
Yarmouth
,
lying
out
in
length
a
mile
and
an
half
;
not
above
halfe
so
much
in
breadth
,
and
in
that
space
conteineth
about
30
Parishes
;
well
walled
about
with
many
a
turret
,
and
12
gates
for
entrance
.
A
City
which
for
faire
buildings
,
and
resort
of
people
,
the
painefull
industry
of
the
common
●ort
,
the
great
humanity
of
the
richer
,
and
the
firme
loyalty
of
all
,
in
seditious
times
,
may
justly
be
accounted
the
3
of
England
.
Amongst
the
buildings
those
of
speciall
note
(
next
unto
their
Churches
)
are
the
2
Palaces
of
the
D.
of
Norfolk
,
and
earles
of
Surrey
.
And
for
the
wealth
and
opulence
,
which
it
now
enjoyeth
,
it
standeth
much
indebted
to
the
Net●erlanders
,
who
flying
from
the
D.
of
Alva
,
and
the
Inquisition
,
brought
with
them
the
making
of
baies
and
sayes
and
other
manufactures
;
whereby
the
poore
are
set
on
work
,
and

rich
grow

A
place

well
watred

other
pleasant
streames

The
people
generally
divide

that
which
gave
the
greatest
ornament
unto
it
,
was
indeed
the
Ca●●le
,
a
Royall

magnificent
building
,
which

as

that

that

OXFORD
.
OXford-shire
is
a
part
of
the
Dobuni
,
situated
North-ward
of
the
Thames
,
which
parteth
it
all
along
from
Berkshire
.
A
plentifull
and
fruitfull
Countrey
,
wherein
the
plaines
are
garnished
with
cornefields
and
meadows
,
the
hils
well
covered
with
woods
and
the
downes
with
sheep
,
and
wanting
in
no
kind
of
pleasure
,
which
either
hawke
or
hound
can
afford
a
Gentleman
.
It
conteines
in
it
,
being
no
great
circuit
,
270
Parish
Churches
,
and
10
market
townes
,
the
chiefe
of
which
in
name
and
beauty
,
giving
denomination
to
the
County
,
is
the
famous
City
and
Vniversity
of
Oxford
.
A
faire
and
goodly
City
,
both
for
site
and
building
;
whether
one
look
on
the
magnificence
of
the
publique
structures
,
or
the
compacted
uniformity
of
private
houses
.
And
sure
it
may
be
said
without
immodesty
and
heard
without
dislike
or
envy
,
that
for
the
statelinesse
of
the
Schooles
and
publique
Library
;
the
bravery
and
beauty
of
particular
Colledges
,
all
built
of
faire
and
polished
stone
;
the
liberall
endowments
of
those
houses
,
and
notable
incouragements
of
industry
and
learning
in
the
salary
of
the
Professors
in
most
Arts
and
Sciences
;
it
is
not
to
be
parallelled
in
the
Christian
world
:
and
for
the
number
of
her
studens
,
and
the
well
ordering
of
those
Students
by
good
laws
and
ordinances
,
not
to
be
equalled
by
any
but
her
sister
Cambridge
.
From
whence
it
had
the
name
of
Oxford
,
is
adhuc
sub
judice
:
whether
of
Vadum
Isidos
,
the
ford
of
Ouse
or
Isis
,
on
whose
banks
it
stands
,
and
so
called
Ousford
;
or
Vada
boum
,
the
ford
of
Oxen
(
as
the
Greeks
had
their
Bosphori
in
former
times
)
I
determine
not
.
Suffice
it
that
this
name
is
very
antient
,
and
that
it
antiently
hath
beene
an
Vniversity
or
seat
of
learning
;
in
which
respect
,
it
hath
co-evity
with
that
of
Paris
,
if
not
priority
above
it
,
as
being
refounded
by
K.
Alf●ed
,
Anno
806
,
after
it
had
been
overborne
a
while
by
the
Danish
fury
.
Colledges
it
conteine●h
in
all
18.
Hals
for
students
6
,
and
about
13
Paris●
Churches
.
It
is
moreover
a

〈◊〉

it

withall
received
no

honour
from
the
noble
〈◊〉
of

PEMBROKE
.
PEmbrok-shire
was
inhabited
of
old
by
the
Dimetae
,
a
Countrey
quite
surrounded
by
the
Sea
,
save
where
it
joyneth
unto
Cardigan
and
Carmarthen
shires
:
A
Countrey
plentiful
in
corne
and
Cattell
,
not
destitute
of
pit-coale
;
and
which
is
far
above
the
rest
(
as
Giraldus
tels
us
)
considering
that
it
is
so
neare
to
Ireland
,
of
a
temperate
and
wholesome
Aire
.
It
conteines
in
it
140
Parish
Churches
,
and
5
Markets
;
that
which
is
most
of
note
being
Milford
,
renowned
for
its
safe
and
capacious
haven
.
But
that
from
which
it
takes
denomination
,
is
the
town
of
Pembrok
,
seated
upon
a
forked
arme
of
Milford
haven
,
and
in
the
best
part
of
all
the
Countrey
.
A
town
consisting
principally
of
one
long
street
on
a
long
narrow
point
of
rock
;
and
hath
within
the
wals
there
of
,
two
Churches
.
The
Earles
hereof
in
former
times
were
County
Palatines
,
and
passed
al
things
that
concerned
that
County
under
the
seale
of
the
Earldom
.
And
it
continued
so
untill
the
reigne
of
H.
8.
when
as
Wales
was
reduced
to
England
,
and
the
authority
of
the
great
Lords
there
,
dissolved
by
Parliament
.
Since
which
the
Earles
of
Pembrok
have
been
meerely
titular
,
as
of
other
places
,
and
of
each
sort
were
these

PETERBVRGH
.
OF
Peterburgh
,
as
it
is
an
Epi●copall
see
,
we
have
spoke
already
and
have
not
much
to
adde
of
it
,
as
it
hath
the
title
of
an
Earldom
.
It
standeth
in
the
very
nooke
or
angle
of
Northampton-shire
,
where
formerly
had
been
a
gulfe
or
whirle
poole
of
exceeding
depth
:
but
made
firme
ground
by
Wolpher
K.
of
the
Mercians
,
when
with
great
paines
and
diligence
,
he
laid
the
foundation
of
the
Church
.
A
Town
,
but
for
the
Church
,
of
no
great
note
,
as
standing
out
of
the
way
for
trade
and
traffick
,
and
seated
in
no
plausible
place
,
whether
one
look
to
health
or
pleasure
.
Yet
by
occasion
of
the
Abbey
in
the
former
times
,
and
now
by
reason
of
the
Bishop
there
;
it
drawes
resort
of
people
for
dispatch
of
businesse
,
hath
a
large
marketplace
,
a
faire
Parish
Church
,
and
2
handsome
streets
.
Of
late
unto
the
Ecclesiasticall
relation
of
it
is
joyned
an
honourary

PORTLAND
.
POrtland
,
was
once
a
little
Island
,
but
now
adjoyneth
to
the
mainland
of
Dorset-shire
,
lieth
full
against
the
good
town
of
Weymouth
,
and
seemes
to
take
th●s
name
from
Port
,
a
noble
Saxon
,
who
about
the
yeare
703
infested
and
annoyed
these
Coasts
,
and
made
here
his
station
.
It
is
not
above
7
miles
in
compasse
,
and
very
scatteringly
inhavited
;
but
plentifull
enough
of
corne
,
and
good
for
pastures
.
On
the
East
side
it
hath
a
Church
on
the
North
a
Castle
,
which
seems
to
guard
the
entrance
of
Weymouth
haven
.
But
however
it
was
in
former
times
,
it
is
now
remarkable
,
it
gave
and
gives
the
stile
of

RICHMOND
.
RIchmond-shire
is
no
County
of
it selfe
,
but
a
part
of
York-shire
lying
towards
the
North-west
,
with
rugged
rocks
and
swelling
mountaines
,
whose
sides
in
some
places
beare
good
grasse
,
the
bottomes
underneath
not
being
unfruitfull
;
and
in
the
hils
themselves
are
found
good
mines
of
lead
and
pit-coale
.
The
chiefe
Town
of
the
whole
is
Richmond
,
of
a
small
circuit
in
the
wals
,
but
by
reason
of
the
Suburbs
lying
out
in
length
,
very
well
peopled
and
frequented
.
A
Town
first
built
by
Alane
E.
of
Bretagne
,
the
first
E.
here
,
after
the
entrance
of
the
Normans
,
who
fenced
it
with
a
wall
and
a
most
strong
Castle
,
the
better
to
assure
these
parts
against
the
English
,
and
having
finished
the
same
according
to
his
own
content
,
gave
it
the
name
of
Richmount
,
as
a
place
equally
participating
of
strength
and
beauty
.
It
standeth
on
the
banks
of
the
river
of
Swale
,
which
with
a
mighty
noise
runneth
underneath
it
:
A
River
reputed
very
sacred
by
antient
English
,
for
that
in
it
,
Paul●nus
the
first
Archb.
of
●orke
baptized
in
one
day
above
100●0
men
,
besides
women
and
children
.
The
Earles
of
Bretagne
for
a
long
time
together
continued
in
the
title
and
possession
of
this
Cou●trey
:
Since
it
hath
been
bestowed
upon
other
Families
,
who
in

have
been
adorned
with
the
stile
of

RIVERS
.
THe
title
of
Earle
Rivers
is
of
different
nature
from
all
the
rest
of
England
,
those
being
locall
(
that
of
E.
Marsh.
excepted
)
and
this
nominall
:
those
taking
their
denomination
from
some
speciall
place
,
and
this
from
an
illustrious
Family
.
The
antient
name
was
Redve●s
,
or
de
Ripariis
,
thence
it
came
to
Rivers
.
At
first
they
were
but
Barons
of
Plimpton
in
the
County
of
Devon
;
after
they
came
to
bee
Earles
of
Devonsh
.
which
title
8
of
them
enjoyed
successively
,
and
then
the
masculine
issue
failing
,
the
name
and
patrimony
both
were
lost
amongst
the
females
or
heires
generall
.
From
some
of
these
,
as
I
conjecture
,
came
S.
Rich.
Woddeville
,
whom
first
K.
H.
6.
advanced
unto
the
honourable
title
of
L
Rivers
,
and
after
Edw.
4.
marrying
his
daughter
,
advanced
him
higher
,
and
made
him
E.
Rivers
.
Which
title
ending
in
the
3
E.
of
this
name
and
Family
,
was
since
again
revived
in
the
honourable
houses
of
Darcy
and
Savage
,
this
last
deriving
a
descent
hereto
by
the
line
of
Worcester
,
&
Huntington
,
from
one
of
the
daught
.
and
coheires
of
the

,

and

RVTLAND

RVtland

,

Countrey

very
red

so
red
that
even

coloured

it

retaine

Heretofore

SALISBVRY
.
SAlisbury
is
the
chiefe
City
of
Wil●sh
.
antiently
called
Sorbio●unum
,
which
name
it
held
untill
the
entrance
of
the
Saxons
,
who
gave
new
names
and
laws
to
all
parts
of
Eng.
●t
was
at
first
seated
high
upon
an
hill
,
as
being
a
place
designed
for
strength
and
war
,
yet
honored
for
a
while
with
a
Bishops
see
,
and
a
faire
Cathedrall
.
But
the
Bishops
and
the
Clergy
finding
no
good
quarter
amongst
the
Souldiers
,
which
were
there
in
garrison
,
and
being
destitute
of
water
on
so
dry
an
hill
;
about
the
time
of
Rich.
1
,
began
to
leave
it
,
and
plant
themselves
down
lower
by
the
water
side
.
Being
once
setled
there
,
and
raising
a
new
Minster
for
Gods
publike
service
,
the
people
also
followed
after
,
and
left
old
Sarum
to
it self
,
which
in
short
space
became
so
totally
deserted
,
that
now
the
ruines
of
it
are
hardly
visible
.
But
for
new
Salisbury
,
that
grew
up
presently
into
great
renown
,
plea●antly
seated
on
the
river
,
which
watreth
every
street
thereof
,
and
for
the
populousnesse
of
the
place
,
plenty
of
provision
,
a
spacious
market
place
,
and
a
faire
Townhall
,
is
esteemed
to
be
the
second
City
of
all
this
Tract
.
And
which
addes
no
small
lustre
to
it
,
a
place
that
hath
been
very
fortunate
in
those
eminent
persons
,
on
whom
the
Kings
of
England
have
bestowed
the
title
of
Earles
of
Salisbury

SHREWSBVRY
.
SHrewsbury
is
the
principall
town
in
Shropshire
,
called
by
our
Ancestors
the
Saxons
Scrobbesbyrig
,
for
that
it
was
of
old
a
very
thicket
of
shrobs
.
A
place
that
rose
out
of
the
ruines
of
old
Vriconium
,
seated
not
far
off
;
but
grew
not
into
any
great
request
till
the
Norman
Conquest
.
The
town
stands
nea●ly
on
a
hill
,
and
is
almost
incompassed
round
by
the
river
Severn
:
that
part
thereof
which
is
not
fenced
by
the
River
,
being
fortified
with
a
very
strong
Castle
built
by
Roger
de
Montgomery
,
the
first
E.
hereof
.
A
faire
and
goodly
Town
it
is
,
well
traded
and
frequented
by
all
sorts
of
people
both
Welch
&
Eng.
by
reason
of
the
trade
of
cloth
,
and
other
merchandise
;
this
being
the
common
mart
or
empory
between
Wales
&
Eng.
It
standeth
in
the
very
midst
or
center
,
as
it
were
,
of
the
whole
County
,
which
generally
is
inferiour
unto
none
about
it
,
for
delight
and
plenty
;
and
for
the
number
of
Townes
and
Castles
'
standing
exceeding
thick
on
every
side
(
as
having
formerly
been
a
frontier-Country
)
very
far
above
them
.
It
belonged
antiently
to
the
Cornavii
,
and
presently
on
the
Norman
Conquest
,
was
bestowed
on
Roger
de
Montgom
.
whom
before
I
spake
of
,
who
and
his
successors
,
and
since
them
the
honorable
Family
of
the
Talbots
,
enjoyed
the
stile
and
title
of
Earles

SOMERSET
.
SOmersetsh
.
antiently
was
inhabited
by
the
Belga
.
A
Country
of
a
fertile
soyle
,
both
for
corne
and
pasture
,
exceeding
populous
●as
comprehending
in
the
whole
385
Parish
Churches
,
whereof
33
are
market
towns
)
&
furnished
also
with
commodious
havens
for
trade
and
traffick
.
A
Country
howsoever
pleasant
in
the
Summer
season
;
yet
in
the
Winter
time
so
deep
&
miery
,
that
it
is
scarce
passable
;
from
whence
the
people
have
a
proverb
,
that
it
is
bad
for
the
Rider
,
but
good
for
the
abider
.
Yet
in
some
parts
the●eof
,
those
specially
which
are
towards
Wiltsh
.
it
is
both
hilly
and
stony
;
but
in
the
bowels
of
those
hils
,
particularly
in
those
of
Mendip
,
they
find
rich
veines
of
lead
,
to
the
great
enriching
of
the
Country
,
and
benefit
to
all
the
Kingd
.
It
took
this
name
from
Somerton
,
once
the
most
famous
and
considerable
in
all
the
County
,
now
a
small
market
Town
of
no
note
nor
credit
,
but
for
a
faire
of
Cattell
which
is
kept
there
yearely
;
in
which
respect
Ass●rius
calls
it
,
Comitatum
Somertunensem
,
or
Somertonsh
.
But
by
the
name
of
Somerset
it
is
now
best
known
,
and
by
that
name
hath
given
the
honorary
title
of

SOVTHAMPTON
.
SOuthampton
is
the
2
Town
of
Hamp-shire
,
in
bignesse
and
circuit
,
but
not
inferiour
to
the
first
for
wealth
and
riches
.
A
Towne
commodiously
seated
on
an
arme
of
the
sea
,
and
capable
of
ships
of
burden
to
the
very
Keie
;
the
opportunity
whereof
hath
made
it
very
faire
and
populous
,
as
having
in
it
5
Churches
for
Gods
publique
service
,
fenced
with
strong
wals
and
a
double
ditch
,
and
to
secure
the
haven
with
a
right
strong
Castle
,
which
now
time
hath
ruined
.
It
standeth
on
the
banks
of
the
river
of
Anton
,
(
which
rising
about
Andover
,
runs
here
into
the
Sea
)
from
whence
it
had
the
name
of
Southampton
and
by
that
name
hath
given
denomination
to
the
whole
Countrey
,
though
generally
it
be
called
Hamp-shire
.
A
Country
rich
in
all
commodities
,
both
of
sea
and
land
,
and
in
the
upper
parts
thereof
,
those
which
are
farthest
from
the
sea
,
of
a
very
pure
and
excellent
aire
.
It
conteines
in
it
253
Parishes
,
many
of
which
have
Chappels
of
ease
as
big

the
Town
,
which
though
it
bee
within
the
County
,
yet
is
a
County
in
it self
(
for
which
it
stands
beholding
to
K.

)
And
both
before
and
since
hath
been
counted
worthy
to
be
the
highest

A
town
well
peopled
and
of
great
resort
,
conteining
about
7
Parish
Churches
.
But
that
wh●ch
gives
it
most
renown
,
is
that
upon
some
quarrell
and
contention
between
the
Southern

Northern
men
in

Vniversity
of
Oxford
,
the

in

al
sorts

Nor
did
they
leave
the
place
,
or
return
again
,
untill
they
were
commanded
so
to
do
by
the
Kings
Proclamation
,
and
thereupon
it
was
ordeined
in

,
that

should
make
oath

not
to
reade
publiquely
at

to

most
rich

goodly
fields
of

with
grounds
as

rich
for
the
feeding
of
Cattell
,
wherof
there
is
good
plenty
out
of
question
,
as
may
appeare
by
the
great
store
of
cheese
here
made

the
great

of
the
inhabitants
,
not

SVRREY
.
SVrrey
and
Sussex
antiently
were
inhabited
by
the
Regni
,
and
afterwards
made
up
the
Kingdome
of
the
South-Saxons
.
This
lieth
on
the
South
of
the
river
Thames
,
whence
it
had
the
name
;
the
Saxons
calling
that
Rea
,
which
we
call
a
River
:
and
so
from
Sutbrea
,
came
the
name
of
Surrey
.
A
Countrey
on
the
outward
parts
thereof
very
rich
and
fruitfull
,
especially
on
that
side
which
is
towards
the
Thames
,
where
it
yeelds
plenty
both
of
corne
and
grasse
;
but
in
the
middle
part
,
somewhat
hard
and
barren
.
From
whence
the
people
use
to
say
,
that
their
Countrey
is
like
a
course
peece
of
cloth
,
with
a
fine
list
.
And
yet
the
middle
parts
thereof
what
they
want
in
riches
,
they
supply
with
pleasures
,
as
being
famous
for
good
aire
,
and
well
stored
with
parks
;
the
downes
affording
excellent
opportunity
aswell
for
horse-races
,
as
hunting
.
A
Country
finally
it
is
of
no
great
quantity
.
and
ye●
conteines
140
Parishes
(
of
the
which
8
are
market
townes
)
and
amongst
them
the
Royall
mansions
of
Richmond
,
Otelands
and
Non●-such
.
The
chiefe
town
of
the
whole
is
Guilford
,
a
fine
neat
town
,
seated
on
the
declining
of
an
hill
toward
the
river
Mole
,
consisting
of
3
Parish
Churches
;
which
notwithstanding
never
gave
title
unto
any
,
of
Lord
,
Earle
of
higher
.
But
that
defect
hath
beene
supplied
by
the
whole
body
of
the
County
,
in
the
name
of
Surrey
,
with
which
our
Kings
have
dignified
these
Dukes
and
Earles

The

WARWICK
.
WArwickshire
heretofore
was
part
of
the
Cornavii
,
a
Country
which
for
aire
and
soyle
,
wants
nothing
for
the
profit
or
pleasure
of
man
.
It
is
divided
into
two
parts
by
the
river
.
Avon
,
that
on
the
South
side
being
cald
the
Feldon
,
which
yeelds
good
store
of
corn
,
and
grasse
,
and
makes
a
lovely
prospect
from
the
neighbouring
hils
;
that
on
the
North
being
called
the
Woodland
,
from
the
great
plenty
of
woods
which
grew
here
formerly
,
but
now
grown
thin
enough
by
the
making
of
iron
.
It
conteineth
in
it
158
Parishes
and
market
towns
;
of
which
the
chief
〈◊〉
one
exclude
Coventry
as
a
County
of
it selfe
)
is
that
of
Warwick
,
called
by
the
Romans
antiently
Praesidium
,
from
the
garrison
there
,
which
name
it
still
retaines
in
a
different
language
.
A
town
adorned
with
very
faire
houses
,
a
strong
and
well
compact
stone
bridge
on
the
river
Avon
,
and
two
goodly
Churches
:
But
the
chief
beauty
of
it
heretofore
,
as
now
,
is
a
most
stately
and
magnificent
Castle
;
which
as
it
was
of
late
repaired
at
the
great
cost
and
charges
of
Sir
Fulk
Grevill
,
the
late
L.
Broks
,
who
therein
dwelt
;
so
was
it
anti●ntly
the
seat
and
abiding
place
of
the
Dukes
and
Earles
of
Warwick
.

WESTMORLAND
.
WEstmorland
was
a
part
of
the
possessions
of
the
old
Brigantes
,
and
lyeth
on
the
West
of
York●sh
.
from
whence
and
from
the
Mores
,
as
they
call
them
here
(
that
is
,
those
barren
heathy
grounds
,
which
are
not
tractable
for
corn
)
it
was
named
West-more-land
.
The
ayre
accounted
sharp
and
piercing
;
the
soyle
in
most
parts
barren
and
unprofitable
;
yet
in
the
Vales
,
which
are
neither
large
nor
man●
,
indifferently
fruitfull
.
So
that
the
greatest
profit
and
commodity
,
which
here
the
people
make
unto
themselves
,
is
by
the
benefit
and
trade
of
cloathing
.
It
containes
in
it
only
26
Parishes
,
which
plainly
shews
that
either
the
Countrey
is
not
very
populous
,
or
that
the
Parishes
are
exceeding
large
,
as
ge●erally
indeed
they
are
,
in
these
Northerne
parts
;
4
of
those
26
are
market
towns
,
the
chiefe
of
which
next
Kendale
(
which
wee
●pake
of
formerly
)
is
called
Appleby
,
and
passeth
for
the
shire
town
or
head
of
the
Countie
.
The
Viponts
antiently
,

WILTSHIRE
.
WIltsh
,
belonging
to
the
Relgae
in
the
former
times
,
took
this
new
name
from
Wilton
,
once
the
chief
town
of
it
;
like
as
it
of
the
river
Willy
,
on
the
which
it
standeth
.
A
region
which
as
it
breeds
a
race
of
hardy
men
,
who
in
old
time
,
with
those
of
Devonsh
.
&
Cornwal
,
chalenged
the
seconding
of
the
main
battaille
in
our
Eng.
armies
;
so
is
it
very
plentifull
and
fruitfull
,
and
withall
very
pleasant
and
delightsome
.
The
middle
parts
thereof
,
which
they
call
the
Plaines
,
are
most
scant
of
corne
;
but
those
plaines
being
large
and
spacious
,
&
reaching
round
about
to
the
horizon
,
do
feed
innumerable
flocks
of
sheep
,
which
bring
as
great
commodity
to
the
inhabitants
by
their
fleece
&
wool
,
and
the
most
gainefull
trad
of
cloathing
,
as
other
parts
that
are
more
fertile
.
It
contei●eth
in
it
304
Parish
▪
&
is
traded
in
19
market
towns
;
the
chiefe
and
fairest
are
Salisbury
and
Marlborough
,
which
before
we
spake
of
.
Wilton
was
formerly
the
principall
,
&
here●ofore
a
Bishops
see
,
honored
with
the
residence
of
9
severall
Bishops
:
But
by
translating
of
the
see
of
Salisbury
,
and
carrying
thi●her
therewithal
the
throughfare
into
the
West
countrey
,
which
before
was
here
,
it
fel
by
little
and
little
to
decay
,
and
is
now
hardly
worth
the
reputation
of
a
poor
market
town
,
yet
still
it
gives
denomination
to
the
Country
:
as
that
the
stile
and
honor
to
these
Earles
of
Wiltshire

WINCHELSEY
.
WInchelsey
is
a
sea
Town
in
the
East
part
of
Sussex
,
where
it
adjoyneth
upon
Kent
,
accounted
by
a
general
error
to
be
open
of
the
Cinq
Ports
;
whereas
indeed
it
is
no
Cinq
port
,
but
a
member
of
them
,
as
●hi●
and
Feversham
,
and
others
are
.
A
Towne
in
former
times
of
great
strength
and
beauty
,
inclosed
with
strong
wals
,
and
a
well
placed
Rampier
,
for
the
defence
thereof
against
forreign
force
:
but
the
sea-shrinking
from
it
by
little
and
litle
,
brought
the
town
by
the
like
degrees
into
great
decay
,
though
still
it
beare
the
shew
of
a
handsome
town
,
and
hath
a
Blockhouse
for
defence
raised
by
H.
●
.
But
what
it
lost
i●
wealth
,
it
hath
got
in
honour
,
being
advanced
unto
the

WINCHESTER
.
WInch
.
is
the
chief
City
of
H●●psh
.
&
heretofore
the
seat
Royal
of
the
West-Saxon
K.
By
Antonine
and
P●olomy
called
Venta
Belgarum
;
and
then
accounted
the
prime
City
of
all
the
Belgae
,
out
of
which
Venta
,
adding
ceaster
to
it
,
(
according
to
their
wonted
manner
)
the
Saxons
hammered
their
Vent-ceaster
,
and
we
our
Winchester
.
In
these
our
dayes
,
it
is
indifferently
wel
peopled
,
and
frequented
,
commodiou●ly
seated
in
a
Valley
betweene
high
steep
hils
,
by
which
it
is
de●ended
from
cold
and
wind
.
It
lyeth
daintily
on
the
banks
of
a
pleasant
river
,
str●tching
somewhat
in
length
from
East
to
West
,
and
conteineth
about
a
mile
and
a
halfe
within
the
wals
,
besides
▪
the
suburbs
;
but
much
within
the
wals
is
desolate
and
altogether
unbuilt
.
Many
things
certainly
thereare
which
may
conduce
unto
the
reputation
of
it
,
especially
a
beautifull
and
large
Cathedrall
,
a
goodly
and
capacious
Palace
for
the
Bishops
dwelling
,
which
they
call
Wolvescy
house
;
a
strong
and
gallant
Castle
bravely
mounted
upon
an
hill
,
with
brave
command
on
all
the
Countrey
;
a
pretty
neat
Colledge
neare
the
wals
,
built
and
endowed
by
Wil.
of
Wickham
,
for
a
seminary
to
his
other
in
Oxford
;
and
not
far
off
a
very
faire
Hospitall
,
which
they
call
Sain●
Crosses
.
And
yet
lest
all
this
might
not
raise
it
high
enough
,
our
English
Monarchs
have
thought
fit
to
dignifie
these
following
persons
with
the
stile
and
title
of
Marq.
and
Earles
of
Winchester

is
a
part
of
the
Cornavii
,
once
a
great
nation
in
these
parts
.
A
Coun.
of
an
aire
so
temperate
,
and
a
soyle
so
fortunate
,
that
it
gives
place
to
none
about
her
,
for
health
and
plenty
.
Abundant
certeinly
it
is
in
all
kinds
of
fruits
,
and
of
peares
especially
;
wherewith
,
besides
the
use
they
have
of
them
for
the
table
,
they
make
a
bastard
kind
of
wine
,
which
they
here
call
Pirry
,
which
they
both
sell
and
drink
in
great
abundance
.
Salt-pits
it
also
hath
in
some
parts
thereof
,
and
about
Powyck
,
and
many
places
else
good
store
of
Cherries
:
and
every
where
well
watred
with
delicious
rivers
,
which
afford
great
variety
of
fish
.
A
Country
of
no
great
extent
for
length
and
compasse
,
as
not
conteining
above
152
Parish
Churches
,
and
amongst
them
10
market
towns
.
Of
these
the
principall
is
Worcester
,
and
gives
denomination
to
the
whole
.
A
City
delectably
seated
on
the
banks
of
Severne
(
which
runneth
quite
through
the
County
from
North
to
South
)
ever
which
it
hath
a
faire
bridg
with
a
tower
upon
it
:
and
thence
arising
with
a
gentle
ascent
,
affordeth
to
the
upper
parts
,
a
very
goodly
prospect
in
the
vale
beneath
.
A
City
every
way
considerable
,
whether
you
looke
upon
it
in
the
situation
,
or
in
the
number
of
its
Churches
,
or
the
faire
neat
houses
,
or
finally
on
the
inhabitants
,
which
are
both
numerous
and
wealthy
,
by
reason
of
their
trade
of
cloathing
,
which
doth
there
flourish
very
much
.

Cathed

here

of

Castle
we
shall
now

nothing

YORK
.
YOrk-shire
is
past
all
peradventure
the
greatest
County
in
England
,
conteining
70
miles
in
length
from
North
to
South
,
and
80
miles
in
bredth
from
West
to
East
;
the
circuit
being
above
300.
In
this
great
quantity
of
ground
,
are
not
above
563
Parish
Churches
,
w●ich
is
no
great
number
,
but
then
withall
there
are
great
plenty
of
Chappels
of
Ease
,
equall
for
bignesse
and
resort
of
people
,
to
any
Parish
.
elsewhere
.
The
soyle
is
generally
fruitfull
in
a
very
good
measure
.
If
that
one
part
therof
by
stony
and
barren
ground
;
another
is
as
fertile
and
as
richly
adorned
with
corne
and
pasturage
:
If
here
you
find
it
naked
and
destitute
of
woods
▪
in
other
places
you
shal
find
it
shadowed
with
most
spacious
forrests
:
If
it
be
somwhere
moorish
,
mirie
and
unpleasant
;
elsewhere
it
is
as
beauteous
and
delightsome
as
the
eye
can
wish
.
It
is
divided
ordinarily
into
3
parts
,
which
according
to
the
quarters
of
the
world
are
called
East-Riding
,
West-Riding
,
and
North-Riding
;
Richmondsh
.
●omming
in
to
make
up
the
4
,
which
is
a
part
of
York-sh
.
as
before
was
said
.
The
whole
was
antiently
possessed
by
the
Brigantes
,
who
were
diffused
all
over
those
Northerne
parts
,
beyond
the
Trent
;
and
for
their
capitall
City
had
Eboracum
,
seated
upon
the
river
Vre
which
we
now
call
Ouse
)
in
the
Westriding
of
this
County
;
and
by
a
later
Saxon
name
is
now
called
York
.
This
is
the
2
City
of
all
Eng.
both
for
fame
and
greatnesse
;
A
pleasant
large
and
stately
place
,
well
fortified
&
beautifully
adorned
,
as
well
with
private
as
publike
edifices
,
and
rich
and
populous
withall
;
Seated
(
as
e●st
was
said
)
on
the
river
Ouse
,
which
cutteth
it
,
as
it
were
,
in
twaine
;
both
parts
being
joyned
together
with
a
faire
stone
bridge
,
consisting
of
high
and
mighty
Arches
.
A
City
of
great
fame
in
the
Roman
times
,
and
of
as
eminent
reputation
in
all
Ages
since
;
and
in
the
severall
turnes
and
changes
,
which
have
befallen
this
Kingdome
under
the
Saxons
,
Danes
and
Normans
,
hath
still
preserved
i●s
antient
lustre
.
Adorned
it
was
with
an
Archiepiscopall
see
in
the
times
of
the
Britans
;
nor
stooped
it
lower
when
the
Saxons●eceived
●eceived
the
Faith
.
Rich.

laying
unto
it
a
little
territory
on
the
Westside
therof
,
made
it
a
County
of
it selfe
,
in
which
the
Archbishops
of
York
enjoy
the
rights
of
Palatines
.
And
for
a
further
lustre
to
it
,
H.
●
.
ap.
pointed
here
a
Councell
for
the
governance
of
the
Northern
parts
,
consisting
of
a
L.
Pre.
certaine
Councellors
,
a
Secretary
and
other
Officers
.
And
yet
in
none
of
these
hath
York
been
more
fortunate
,
than
that
it
adorned
so
many
Princes
of
the
Imperiall
line
of

bloud
Royall
of

,
with
the
