[Cd. 283.] Price Is. Id. 3^^ INTRODUCTION. The MSS. of Lord Montagu of Beaulieu have originally formed part of the great collection now at Montagu House, as is shown by the mounting of the papers and the binding of the volumes, and this Eeport may therefore be considered as, an appendix *to that on the Buecleuch MSS. issued by the Commissioners in 1899. The volumes at Beaulieu, however, form a small but complete collection in themselves, being numbered consecutively and their contents having evidently been selected with care, as specimens of "Papers and letters on public events," "Letters and autographs," and "Papers on Scotch affairs." These are arranged in the manner described on p. 213 of the Buecleuch Keport. There is also one volume, not uniform with the rest, of " Orders, passes and commissions " mostly of the reigns of Charles II. and James II., which volume also contains many miscellaneous documents, including a series of letters to Queen Elizabeth's Earl of Leicester. The papers in it are not mounted at all, but stitched into the binding. Many of the documents relating to public events, and notably those on Scotch affairs, are copies of speeches and other papers already in print, or preserved amongst the State Papers, and these it has not been thought necessary to notice, but there are two documents of considerable importance which it may be well to mention before speaking of the correspondence which forms the bulk of the collection. The first is a copy of the instructions to the Puritan clergy deputed to represent their party at the Hampton Court con- ference. It gives a list of those present, by which we see that many attended in addition to the four learned doctors who were the actual disputants, and this is followed by a synopsis of the arguments. The value of these (which have been con- siderably condensed, but of which all the points are given) must be left for theologians to decide ; but two things may be noted. First, that the puritan party entirely throw over all appeal to the Fathers of the Church, declaring roundly that their views Wt, 723 m a IV on many matters were as corrupt as those of the papists ; and secondly, that there plainly still lingered in the land much affection for the old forms, for "some of the people (as lament- able experience after so many years' preaching of the gospel doth too plainly witness in most places) ^ . . . do wish that they might have again the old service, alleging that love and charity and plenty never went out of the world, nor that scarcity, hatred and other calamities never entered into it until this new law (for so they term the profession of the Gospel) came up." And in Lancashire and the northern parts, they still garnished the dead with Jhe cross, and set them down and prayed at crosses in the highway ; hung the crosses with flowers and garlands on Corpus Christi day with much devotion ; wore palm crosses on Palm Sunday, and signed themselves with the sign of the cross "in all their actions, even when they gape" {pp. 32-40). The document contains many quotations from the Fathers, very inaccurately copied by the transcriber, but all of which it has been easy to verify. The passages in the foot-notes have been taken from such editions as would be likely to be in the hands of the writers. The second paper above alluded to is an important list, which must have been made in 1607 or 1608, of the King's ofi&cers and fees, in the great Courts, the royal household, the castles and forts, and his Majesty's houses, parks and forests throughout the realm, together with a list of the nobility, a table of musters, the names of fugitives beyond seas, and the numbers of churches in the shires of England and Wales. This document follows the lines of the great list of Queen Elizabeth's reign, but differs from and supplements it in various respects. {See note on p. 51.) The main part of the collection consists of the correspondence of the Montagu family during the later half of the 16th and the first half of the 17th centuries, and the value of these letters (as of many other collections) lies, it will be seen, not in startling discoveries, not even in any material fresh information, but in the view which they give us of ' how things struck a contemporary ; how these high-minded gentlemen and true-hearted Englishmen looked upon the events passing around them, and how they played their parts in those troublous times. As regards the Montagu family, there is not much to add to the information given in the Introduction to the Buccleuch Eeport. In the middle of the 16th century we find the then head of the house, Sir Edward Montagu, filling the office of Lord Chief Justice, first in the King's Bench and then in the Common Pleas, though we do not learn for what reason the usual order was reversed. With three others, he was summoned by Edward VI. to draw up "a book for the succession of the Crown," or in other words, to formulate Northumberland's scheme for diverting the crown from the Lady Mary, and placing it on the head of his son's wife. Sir Edward, in a petition to Queen Mary after her accession (j). 4), describes the pressure under which he acted, and even allowing for probable exaggeration, we may well beheve that the King's anger and the Duke's rage, the dread of offending the ruling powers and the fear of future consequences, reduced the unhappy lawyer, as he says, to as great fear as ever he was in in his life before. He persuaded himself that it could do no harm to obey the King, considering that the writings so made "were nothing worth for the avoiding of the Act of Suc- cession, which could not be taken away but by Parliament," but this excuse — "a simple and sinewles defence," Sir Edward Coke called it — did not appease the Queen, and the Chief Justice lost his place, had to surrender lands and pay fines, and suffered six weeks' imprisonment in the Tower. And to make matters worse, he had, as he pathetically remairks, seventeen children, six sons and eleven daughters. In 1556 this first Sir Edward died, and his eldest son, another Edward, reigned at Boughton in his stead. He had served Queen Mary with his followers, as his father states in the above mentioned petition, and as is shown by a letter in the Buccleuch papers (p. 222) ; and in 1560 he was knight of the shire (for this one parliament only) and deputy-lieutenant for the county of Northampton. As such he appears to have failed to gather together a sufficient number of men at the general muster, and to have made excuses which were by no means considered satis- factory at head-quarters ; for the Marquis of Winchester — brother of Catherine Parr and Lord Lieutenant of the county — sent down a letter of sharp and scornful reproof, so much like those which the Queen was wont to hurl at her offending subjects that it would almost seem to have been indited by herself. "To be VI plain with you," writes the Marquis, " I cannot well tell whether I may rather note an over near preciseness or an over great forgetfulness of duty in the manner of this service . . . I was bold to desire your help and to repose my trust in you, hoping you would have made another manner account of this service than I perceive you have done. The Queen's Majesty looketh at my hands to understand without collusions or respects of old precedents, the very truth and whole numbers indeed of all the able men that be at this present within that shire . . . and I must be fain, in so special a service, to answer her with old pre- cedents and former ordinary musters . . . You say the certifi- cate you have now made exceedeth others that have been of late years there by four hundred men, and I know and dare assure you, there be other shires no bigger than that that do in their present certificates exceed their former ordinary musters by as many thousands as you do hundreds, and stand nevertheless in doubt how their diligence therein will be allowed" (p. 9). After this follow letters on county business and family affairs. In 1586, Sir Eichard Rnightley of Norton proposes a match for Sir Edward's eldest girl (p. 12) and in 1588, Sir Christopher Hatton, the Chancellor, recommends this same Sir Eichard and Sir Walter Mildmay as knights of the shire ; the latter in place of himself (p. 21). A letter from Lord Keeper Egerton, in 1597, urges the suppression of " unlawful games " and the encouragement of archery, complaining that the commissioners have tolerated the former for their own undue gain (p. 25). In 1600, Sir Edward's youngest daughter, Theodosia, or Docy as her brother calls her, married Henry Capell, and on p. 28 is an aiTectionate letter from Edward, the eldest son, to his mother, ofl'ering to come and stay with his parents, as he believes, when his sister has left them, they will not be well-pleased unless some of their children are there. He may earn his victuals, he writes, by playing chess with his father, may take his part at ' ' double hand Irish ' ' and may ease him in such weightier matters as the punishing of rogues and such like. To do his mother service, he will gather fruit and pack it (better, he hopes, than he did the year before) and if none of these things suffice, he will at any rate appreciate what she gives him, especially if he may have fromenty and cheese cakes. He grieves that his mother has been ill, and prescribes a remedy, not from Galen but from Vll Solomon — viz: that a joyful heart maketh a cheerful countenance; a secret which, if the ladies in town knew, "it, might save them much cost that they bestow upon colour and complexion." The second Sir Edward Montagu died in 1602, and on King James' accession, his son, the writer of the above letter, was knighted. He was chosen as Knight of the Shire for the King's first parliament, having previously served for Brackley borough. Of this parliament of 1604 he kept a journal, from which extracts have been made by a later hand, of such matters as concerned himself {p}). 40, 42). In March he presented certain "grievances" from his county in the House of Commons, i.e. 1st, the intolerable burden of the commissaries ; 2nd, the suspension of grave and learned ministers for not using certain ceremonies ; 3rd, the depopulation caused by conversion of tillage into pasture ; excusing himself for daring to address that grave and honourable assembly on the ground that he must rather submit himself to their wise censures than be silent in matters straightly enjoined him by the county which he served, the cry whereof called upon him to make these things known and to beg for relief (p. 42) . In consequence of this appeal, the King ordered a conference between the Commons and the Bishops (p. 44) . He proposed that it should be with the Bishops in Convocation, but this the House "utterly refused to consent to," whereupon his Majesty gracefully retreated, assuring them through the Speaker that he desired not to bring in new precedents or to abridge their liberties, " and therefore he liked well that the House should confer with the Bishops of the Lords of Parliament." When Convocation inhibited the Bishops from conferring, "for that the laity had no authority to meddle in those matters," the House, indignant, chose a committee to deal with "toleration of ceremonies," but soon afterwards the Parliament was prorogued and the matter dropped. The question of the non-conforming clergy came up again^ however, in the following February, when Montagu, the two Knightleys and Sir William Lane delivered a petition against the suspensions which had by this time been carried out. This was handed in on February 9, and brought down such wrath upon the heads of the presenters (see Winwood's Memorials, Vol. II., pp. 48, 49,) that they hastened to pray for forgiveness. An VIU apology was drawn up and presented on the 17th, but the King .said it was not to the point, and must be framed anew. By this time, however, Montagu and Sir Valentine Knightley seem to have regained their courage, resolved to yield to no more of the like in writing, and refused to sign, in consequence whereof they were put out of all commissions in the King's service {p. 45). Sir Edward was not the only member of the family who had fallen into disfavour with the King, for their mother writes in July that she hears "there is some coals kindling against the Dean" (her son James, Dean of the Chapel Eoyal). But the Earl of Salisbury interceded in his behalf, and he himself writes that he has seen the King and gathers that he is not much offended {pp. 46, 48) . Sir Edward made his peace about the same time, kneeling down and protesting that he had "lived as a dead man" ever since he had been in his Majesty's displeasure, and receiving in return gracious assurances from the King that he would rather die than that the papists should increase in his days {p. 47). So the cloud blew over, and soon afterwards Sir Edward had an opportunity of shewing ,his loyalty by drawing up the Thanksgiving after the discovery of the Powder Plot. Amongst these papers is a draft of the Act, in his own hand. Other letters about this time deal with the disputes concerning Brigstock and the variances with the Judges as to the rights of the Montagues in Serjeants' Inn. In a letter from Lord Zouche (p. 84) there is a sHght allusion to the disturbances regarding the enclosure of common lands in 1608, when the King appointed com- missioners to look into the matter, and it was decided that "poor Boughton's enclosures" must go down. In 1617, Sir Edward's correspondents in town send him word that Lord Villiers is made Earl of Buckingham, that Lord Chancellor Ellesmere is sick and Sir Francis Bacon ready for his place, and that Sir Edward Coke has been summoned before the Council, "from whence it is not expected that he will come off fair," the commotion over Sir John Villiers' marriage with Frances Coke having done her father no good {p. 93), although, as is well known, he took the side of the suitor, much to the indignation of his wife. A year later, Sir Edward was involved in a quarrel with John IX Williams, parson of Walgrave, on the subject of the King's declaration concerning [Sunday] sports. Apparently he had interrupted the merry-making at Walgrave, by sending a " schismatical and tumultuous constable " into the parish with a warrant to recall some wanderer from Barnwell, which constable loudly maintained that the King's declaration was a bolstering up of sin, that they ought to pray for his Majesty to be brought to a better mind, and that the Sabbath must be religiously kept for twenty-four hours. The matter was reported to the King, and an un-named friend warned Sir Edward that the Council were all on the other side, and that he was like to be foiled, the great argument against him being that if other justices had intermeddled at a feast at Barnwell, to send a warrant of like nature thither, where Sir Edward Montagu did reside, it would have been considered an indignity to him, and "a taxation of his discretion ; " and also, that where a man was at church, he was " for that day as of that parish, to take his recreation there." The writer, though doubting nothing of his friend's preparedness for the onset, yet felt himself bound to awaken him "as the geese by their gagling which kept the Capitol," if haply he should slumber {p. 95). There are several letters here, as in the Buccleuch papers, in relation to the differences between the three brothers. Sir Edward, Sir Sydney and Sir Charles ; and here, as there, is one letter from Lord Bacon — now Lord Verulam — who seems to have interested himself kindly in the endeavour to get matters amicably settled {p. 104). The next matter of public interest noticed is the return of Prince Charles from Spain, without the Infanta. Bonfires, bells, and the Tower ordnance announced the joyful news, the streets being so "stuffed with fires" that three hundred were counted between Whitehall and Temple Bar. One wonders that there is no mention of conflagrations in consequence, for the "stuffing" was continued through the narrow streets and lanes in the City, over a hundred fires being alight between St. Paul's and London Bridge. The rejoicings of the capital were echoed throughout the country. " I thank you for your good news" wrote Montagu — now Lord Montagu of Boughton — to his friend, Eobert Tanfield. " There never was so great cause for joy as his safe return, all things considered " {p. 105). Although urged forwards at times, as we have seen, by his earnest religious convictions and his sense of duty to his country- men, the first Lord Montagu appears to have been a quiet, retiring man, and while his brothers were out in the world and rising to high offices in church and state, he lived for the most part a country life upon his estates, giving, however, much thought and care to the affairs of his own county. Amongst his papers is one very interesting document, drawn up some time during the reign of James I, upon the condition of the farmers and the poor in Northamptonshire, in which it is laid down that the principal cause of the impoverishment of the husbandman and the farmer is that the ground being in common fields, no man can be truly master of his own. The remedy proposed is a system of what would now be called allotments. In urging the superiority of oxen over horses, as "draw-beasts," the writer (the paper is not in Lord Montagu's hand) argues that if a horse die, there is but five shillings for his skin, "whereas, if the ox be not well, he will be meatable, and so little loss " ! (pi). 107-9.) In 1630, there is a gossippy letter from Lord Manchester's steward to his fellow at Boughton. There has been "a great dust " at the Council Board, he writes, about a quarrel between Su- Lucius Gary (the Lord Falkland of the Civil War) and Sir Francis Willoughby ; the Eng having given to Willoughby a place in Ireland held by Cary, in recompense of his service and disbursements in what the lively narrator calls the " Voyage of 111 Array," whereupon " Sir What-Care-I" sent a challenge to the other, but the matter coming to the King's ear, he promptly consigned both Cary and his second to prison. The same letter gives au account of a reported bloody bickering in Dublin between the protestants and papists, and of the great doings of the young Lord Craven on coming into his inheritance, and concludes with the curiously modern statement that the writer sends his friend three ounces "of the best smoke" {p. 111). Soon after this, Lord Montagu was looking about for a wife for his eldest son. He certainly began early enough, for the boy was only sixteen and, as he writes to a cousin, his fears for him, rather than his judgment, made him think of marriage. One correspondent proposed a daughter of the 2nd Earl of Salisbury, XI who was, he understood, "a virtuous and sweet lady, her lord father and the lady her mother marvellous loving and indulgent to their children" (p. 115), but of this we hear nothing further. Another friend suggested a daughter of Sir Henry Willoughby, but this also came to nothing, as though the father was willing, the lady herself was not Qjjj. 115, 116). A third attempt, how- ever, was more successful. The young man wooed and won the daughter of Sir Ealph Winwood, and the marriage seems to have been a very happy one (j). 117, and sec letters in the Bnccleuch Report). Of the group of Lord Montagu's brothers, the most interesting personality is that of Henry, who, beginning as Serjeant at Law and Kecorder of London, filled many high offices in the state, and was .created Viscount Mandeville, and (in 1625) Earl of Manchester. To him, his brother seems to have gone in all his difficulties. "You are doubtful," writes the Earl in 1637, "whether to write to your judge before your cause is heard. I have ever given it for an answer to such as write or speak to me when their cause is to be heard, that either they distrust their judge or despair in their cause, or else they would never make the suit" (p. 117). When the King, at the beginning of 1639, asked for contributions and help against the Scots, Lord Montagu wrote a letter, but the draft is endorsed, " this was disliked of by my brother Manchester, so I writ another" (2^.122). Asmatters grew to a head between King and Parliament, both Lord Montagu and the Earl, like so many others, were sorely divided between their loyalty to the King's person and their dislike of his measures. In April 1642, William Montagu writes to his father that his uncle "pets and fumes extraordinarily at home, but yet votes right in the House." He was much out of tune at this time, and his family believed it to be partly from annoyance at his eldest son's reported intention to marry the widowed Lady Bevill, an intention which Lord Mandeville stoutly denied, but which his friends still feared, for, continues William to his father, "I hear of none that thinks it a fit match unless it be your Lordship " (p. 150). Perhaps, although the widower was already thinking of con- soling himself, his family was still loyal to the memory of his dead wife — dead only a few weeks before — who is called in one of the letters " that mirror of women, Lady Mandeville" (p. 145). When the Long Parliament met, three members of the house xu of Montagu took their seats in the Commons' House : Sir Sydney, Lord Montagu's youngest brother; Edward, his eldest son, and George, second son of the Earl of Manchester. Both Edward and George sent news to Boughton, but Lord Montagu's chief informants were his lawyer son William, writer of the above quoted letter (who afterwards rose to be Chief Baron of the Exchequer and was turned out by King James II., his only crime, as Sir John Eeresby says, being that he would not give his opinion for the King's dispensing power), and one John Dillingham. Most of William Montagu's letters are amongst the Buccleuch papers, but Dillingham's very lively accounts of current events are in the Beaulieu collection. He seems to have doubled the parts of family friend and family tailor, and turns suddenly from quoting a remark that nothing will bring back King Charles, even " though a committee was made and Jack Dillingham had the chair," to mention that he is about to carry the young gentle- men their suits, and if Mr. Edward is desirous of another coat, he will make him one trimmed with silver lace for Sundays (p. 164). He was probably a son of Thomas Dillingham, a former rector of Barnwell, in which case he was brother to Dr. William Dillingham, Master, a few years later, of Emmanuel College, Cambridge. Besides these letters, there are several news-letters, some of them in his handwriting, written at the time when the storm was gathering. Lord Strafford's trial, the business of the Bishops, affairs in Ireland, the efforts to remove the King's "evil counsellors," all in turn come under notice. A letter from Dillingham, written on December 21, 1641, shows the intense distrust felt of the Queen, and her determination that if no papists might be about the royal family, no puritans should be there either, insomuch, Dillingham says, " that a poor man, that did only provide carts, because a puritan, is put out. There must not be a saint in Caesar's house. Look, what measure is meeted out to the papists, let the puritans look for from her Majesty" {p. 135). He goes on to give an account of the quarrel between Warwick and Arch- bishop Williams in the House of Lords, and retails the usual sort of report of atrocities in Ireland. The writer of the news- letters was by this time clearly prepared for the worst — " Provide weapons," he warns his friend, "get muskets, powder and shot. XUl Let not the Popish party surprise us with a riding-rod only in our hands " {p. 137). The accounts of the disturbances between the courtiers and the citizens (pp. 137-139) differ in some respects from those already known. In describing the King's attempt to arrest the five members, Dillingham says that his Majesty, who for haste went in a hackney-coach, was accompanied by " some four hundred, about a hundred of his own servants and all the rest captains and other broken and desperate fortuned men, only young Mr. Saw- yer excepted " {p. 141). Young Mr. Sawyer appears again a little later, as compelling a poor, man that cried brushes to pray for the Pope, " and that God would confound himself and all citizens " {p. 147). There is a graphic description of his Majesty's last visit to the City, and the violent attack made by the citizens' wives upon the unfortunate Lord Mayor (for his complaisant conduct on that occasion) when they pulled his chain from his neck, called him traitor to the City and " were like to have torn both him and the Eecorder in pieces." " The King had the worst day in London yesterday that ever he had," writes Dillingham, " the people crying privilege of parliament by thousands, and prayed God to turn the heart of the King, shutting up all their shops, and standing at their doors with swords and halberds." As for- the Commons, they would assuredly not spare the Queen, and if their demands were not granted, would stand to their defence, " and mind no more the way formerly gone in " {p. 141). When, on the January 25, Mr. Solicitor St. John brought in the Bill for Tonnage and Poundage, we are told that he "was terribly rottled for his pains" (p. 145). In April, Dillingham reports that the printers being frighted, the journals now cease, which though trouble, is yet joy, as making his own news more valuable to his friends. In regard to the King's going for Ireland, some say that he means to "fetch hither the Irish power," but Dillingham's own con- viction is that he merely wishes "to deliver the rebels from extirpation by some kind of accord " and so prevent the un- pleasant disclosures which they might make if driven to desperation {p. 149). At this time, Dillingham was still hopeful that matters in England might be amicably arranged. " I think;" he writes, " the XIV future times will be as a family in which is a froward wife. We may brale and scold, but there will be few blows, only a continual dropping, so that little will grow ; but were we shut of our scandalous ministers and rotten heads of colleges, we should grow unanimous and much better." A month later, he tells of the King's message of May 7, " which message was high, and higher than any before,'-' and in which his Majesty angrily told the Parliament that they talked of a malignant party, but sure it was with them (p. 151). On p. 153 is an instance of the curious limitation, at that time, of the term "protestant" to the Church of England party. In Lancashire and Cheshire, Dillingham is assured, the puritans are able to encounter the papists, and "the protestants are rather for the puritan party than the popish." So late as the end of June, one of the Manners family, writing to Lord Montagu, clings to the hope that there will not be war. " That the distractions not only continues but grows more formidable, is," he acknowledges, "but too apparent ; yet is there hope in Israel, and truly I am in the same opinion I was from the beginning, in God I trust we shall lose no blood." But the very next papers relate to the issue of the Commissions of Array, and these are followed by the order of the constables of the county of Northampton to summon all those who have arms to attend the King's person at Nottingham on August 22, "where and when he intends to erect his standard royal, and in his just and neces- sary defence to advance forward for the suppression of a rebellion, and the protection of his subjects from the burden and insolency under which they cannot but groan till they be relieved by his Majesty " (p. 158). Both here and in the Buccleuch collection, there is a most regrettable absence of letters of the time of the Civil War. The Earl of Manchester died in 1642. Lord Montagu, in spite of his puritan proclivities, was imprisoned by Parliament in the Savoy, and died there in 1644. If William Montagu continued with his brother the correspondence begun with his father, his letters have not been preserved, and no sign remains amongst these papers of the new Lord Montagu's doings in those stirring times, although we know that he was present during the proceedings against Laud, was a Commissioner with the Scots' army in England, and was one of those appointed to convey King Charles to Holmby House. The history of the Montagues is only taken up XV again in 1648, when Lady Winwood wrote several letters to hei; son-in-law, now a widower, about his boys, who were at West- minster, under the famed Dr. Busby. The careful grandmother urges their father not to leave them at school during the holidays " for in truth they must have a little recreation sometimes," fears they injure their health by buying fruit and eating it, by riding too much in the heat, and by drinking too much when they are hot, gives a few . little hits at her granddaughter Bettie, who appears to have been something of a hoyden, and praises Dr. Busby's care of Ealph during an attack of small pox (pp. 161, 164). She also writes of the royalist rising at Kingston in July. Her son-in-law had asked if they had not been affrighted by it. Truly, she replies, they were not much alarmed, as they heard not of the danger until it was past. But if the insurgents had not been taken at St.Neots (where as another writer tells Lord Montagu, they took up inns, were very quiet and sleepy, and like young soldiers, though chased from Kingston, set no guard), she thinks it is like they would have gone on to visit his Lordship (pp. 161, 162). From the Beaulieu as well as from the Buccleuch papers we gather that Edward Montagu got into trouble with his father. On p. 167 is a letter, undated, from him, praying for forgiveness, and in rather stilted terms declaring that it can never be esteemed piety in a father " to trample upon the ruins of a pros- trate son." This elder son was killed in a fight with the Dutch, in 1665, but Ealph lived to succeed his father, and was afterwards created Duke of Montagu. A number of good foreign news-letters are included in the collection, and notably a long epistle from a gentleman attending on Sir Henry Wotton in his embassy to the Emperor in 1620, giving a very interesting account of the state of affairs just at the I time when the brief rule of the unhappy Frederic in Bohemia was drawing to its close. The writer saw plainly that the Emperor would consent to neither truce nor cessation of war, "as presuming that he hath the better of the cause and the hope of the conquest ; for the cause, in regard the Hungarians and Bohemians have proved rebels unto him, and the Count Palatine did ill to take upon him this unjustifiable business ; for the conquest, he hath the greater armies in the field, and the more powerful friends to assist him." He believed however that the Imperial forces would prove too weak to encounter the brave army of the newly XVI elected King of Hungary, and that Vienna would shortly be besieged by this prince, between whom and the King of Bohemia there was, he says, a very sympathy of love, finding expression in such terms as brother, gossip, associate, fellow in arms, with declarations that both were the champions of Christ, and would live and die together in defence of true religion. He gives a somewhat surprising account of the number of protestants in Vienna and thinks that the Prince's success is not like to be the less in consequence. Meanwhile, however, the Palatinate was being ravaged by Spinola, and town after town was yielding to him, for these towns, he explains, although possessing gates and ditches, lacked walls or fortifications sufficient to hold out against either siege or battery, and the Princes of the Union were in much danger of being deceived by "Spanish policies and their own too much confidence," and having vainly declared that they would not allow Spinola's entrance into the Palatinate, seemed now quite at a loss how to get him out of it again {fp. 97-104). The letter appears to have been written at the end of September, the dates contained in it forbidding its being put earlier, although it describes the King of Bohemia as still keeping his court at Prague "so magnificently that men wonder at the same, and so beloved that, as the people answered David, they will not suffer him to go in person into the field." This latter statement we may be permitted to doubt, and the King had certainly at this time gone to the army, although the news had not yet reached Vienna. The other news-letters, mostly written in 1638 and 1639, contain, amongst other matter, notices of the siege of Brisach by Duke Bernard of Weimar, the birth of the Dauphin, the capture and imprisonment of Prince Kupert (to whom the Emperor is said to have offered the Lower Palatinate and a lady of Tyrol, if , he would embrace the popish religion), the detention of his 'elder brother, the Prince Elector, in France, and a description of the terrible state of the Mark of Brandenbourg towards the end of the Thitty years' War, where misery and famine had "turned Christians into cannibals " {pp. 118-126). There are two later ones {pp. 141, 159), in the last of which a correspondent at Amsterdam writes, in March, 1643, "Why doth the Parliament of England delay so long to clear the justice of their cause and proceedings in some manifest or other towards foreigners. The xvn King hath a great advantage against them in this particular, who hath laid very heavy crimes upon them at Francfort and other assemblies and Courts of princes, by large and plausible in- formations." Amongst other miscellaneous papers in the earlier part of the volume may be mentioned a curious set of "rules concerning perilous days," in very archaic writing (p. 1) ; two letters to Lord Justice Montagu (pp. 2, 3) ; a letter written by Sir Henry Percy, during the Duke of Norfolk's expedition to Scotland in 1560 (p. 8) ; an angry epistle from the Countess of Sussex, founder of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge (p. 18) and a series of letters to the Earl of Leicester written in the spring of 1588, mostly from the Isle of Walcheren, which form a useful supplement to the Holland State Papers of that date {pp. 13-20). {Compare also letters in the Earl of Ancaster's MSS., Report XIII. of the Hist. AISS. Commission, App. VI.) The post-restoration papers in the Beaulieu collection are almost entirely military, and have probably formed part of the Albemarle collection, which, as mentioned in the preface to the Buccleuch Eeport, was brought into the Montagu family by Ealph Montagu's second wife, the widow of Christopher, Duke of Albemarle. They contain many royal notes and orders, signed by Charles II. and James II., and give a good deal of information concerning the newly formed army. On p. 180 is a letter from Exeter, setting forth the difficulty of enlisting soldiers and the further difficulty in keeping them afterwards. The writer ascribes this to the malice of the Whigs, " who are very industrious in opposing all things that have his Majesty's character " {i.e. orders signed by him) and have spread a report that the men are to be carried to Tangier. He therefore begs that their captain may be ordered to write from Holland, to dispel "the false sugges- tions of these devilish people." In May, 1683, "William Chapman, one of the Duke of Albemarle's household, sends his Grace an account of a squabble between the King's and Queen's troops of Life Guards, and of the interference of Lord Faversham, who scolded them as if they had been about to cut one another's throats, and then drove away to Windsor in a very great passion to report the matter to the King {p. 183). On p. 189 is a notice of King Charles' fatal seizure, the summons to the Duke and Duchess of Albemarle to attend King James' coronation, and an XVIU account of the new King's review of his Guards in Hyde Park, when he complained that Albemarle's (i.e. the King's) troop was the weakest of the three, but said they were "good boys and did very well." There is an amusing little story told on p. 193 of a skirmish (not mentioned by Luttrell) between Lord Chancellor Jeffreys and the Chief Justice (probably Jones, of the Common Pleas) in relation to the setting free of some of Monmouth's officers. The Chief Justice suggested that they might only be corporals or sergeants, and at any rate, "he was sure they were so poor the Lord Chancellor would not have gotten his fees for their pardon." The Chancellor retorted by bidding his Lordship "be advised how he studied popularity." Of the same date as this letter is one telling of the King's visit to the camp he was forming on Hounslow Heath. Sir John Eeresby speaks of a like visit on April 16, but this letter is quite clearly dated April 10. In February, 1687, the Viee-Chancellor of Cambridge University writes concerning the King's orders for the admission of Father Alban Francis to the M.A. degree without taking the oaths. They are wonderfully afflicted, he says, not knowing how to avoid either his sacred Majesty's displeasure, or the censure and condemnation of the law and their own consciences (p. 198). The last notice of James IL is in a news-letter written in June, 1689, after his landing in Ireland. He is described as extremely busy in marshalling his army, has declared " he would besiege Londonderry with twenty-five thousand men and Enniskillen with fifteen thousand, and hazard the loss of his men but he would take it," but says "he would be willing to have ten thousand men less in his army than the single person of Duko Schonberg to come against him, having that experience of his valour and conduct" (p. 200). The Eeport on these papers and this Introduction have been prepared by Mrs. S. C. Lomas. Both text and index have been kept as far as possible in line with the Eeport on the Buccleuch MSS., and all proper names are given as spelt by the writers, the modern forms being supplied in the index.

Blye Place. — "Being done to understand by the pitiful complaint of Thomas Jaxson, Agnes Jaxson and John Whitehede that the same are notoriously deceived by the crafty dealing of one Eichard Johnson of Northampton, innholder, by the aid and furtherance of one Martin Adams, his son-in- law, which Johnson hath, as I am informed, sold them by parole a lease of certain mills nigh Northampton, parcel of the posses- sions of the right excellent princess and my very good lady, the Lady Elizabeth's grace, sister to the King's Majesty, persuading them only of two mills, where indeed, as I am also informed, the lease hath relation to five mills, whereof three are decayed by the same Johnson, as it is certified by verdict of twelve men, before he bargained with Jaxson for the same, by occasion whereof Mr. Styrley, being the first lessee of the premises jErom the King, who had before bargained to Johnson parcel of his term, commenced suit against Johnson for breach of his covenants, long before any communication with Jaxson about the said mills, whereunto Johnson being directly privy hath entered with these poor folks, and circumvented them to seal him an obligation of 1001., with condition to save him harmless against Mr. Styrley for his bond, the same being already forfeit and in suit, and bargained with them for the said mills, in which deed also again wittingly he did incur the danger of his bond, and, as I am informed also, the lease from Mr. Styrley to Johnson hath special articles that Johnson may not alien or assign the said mills over without the special license of Mr. Styrley, and also Mr. Styrley by special words is at liberty to resume the said mills always upon a year's warning into his own hands, so that one way it seemeth the King's Majesty and her Grace to stand at liberty to evict the said mills from them, all the decay being so notable, and another way Johnson cannot perform the bargain and lease of them to Jaxson, but at Mr. Styrley's will and pleasure and by his license and special agreement, which is not yet attained, as I am credibly informed, nor shall not. be. My Lord, like as there is indeed a great folly in Jaxson and his sureties to have given such credit to a stranger in his bargain, yet seemeth the same very excusable by the mere simplicity to be thought in the parties. Therefore, knowing your wisdom and zeal of good justice, I shall with all my heart beseech you to call the parties before you, and in case the lease have such words that Johnson cannot perform the mills unto Jaxson, then, my Lord, I shall heartily pray you to travail for an end betwixt them, mitigating the extremity of laws by consideration in conscience if Johnson will not conform himself thereunto. I pray you to advertise me by your letters of his doings, and for your further instruction herein I send you the [copy ?] of the bill of complaint, to the end every circumstance may appear [to you] r good Lordship, beseeching your Lordship to stay Johnson, that the poor folks be not condemmed, while the matter thus resteth in communica- tion, and where, at the mediation and request of her Grace's counsel for an end, Johnson hath refused to come to any end otherwise than by the very rigour and extremity of the band, albeit they undertook to move her Grace to show mercy in the matter. If your Lordship cannot take order with them for determination hereof, in Johnson's default, upon your Lordship's advertisement, I shall set order myself in such sort as to equity and conscience shall be thought meet, with such condign punish- ment as appertaineth upon just consideration of the double dealing, being a thing so noisome in a commonwealth." — Elye Place, anno regni regis E. VI., vj'". Signed, l^pp. Damaged. Petition of Sir Edward Mountagu, Knight. [1553.J — 1, Sir Edward Mountagu, and Master Bromley, Master Baker and Mr. Gosnold, being commanded by the King to draw a book for the succession of the Crown, according to certain articles which his Highness delivered unto us, according to whose commandment we assembled together and considered the laws and statutes so dangerous that at our next repab before the Council we refused to make the said books, for the danger of treason, as well towards them as towards us; whereupon the Duke of Northumberland fell into a great anger and rage, and called me traitor before all the Council, and said that in the quarrel of that matter he would fight in his shirt with any man living, and so we were commanded to depart without- doing anything at that time. Being sent for another day, and brought before the King, the King angrily asked us why we refused to make the book according to his articles, and I showed him that if we should make a book thereof, the execution of the same would put the Lords and us in danger of treason, and, yet when it were done and made, it would be nothing worth to take away the Act of Succession ; for which cause we durst not make it. The King, with sharp words and angry counten- ance, commanded and charged me upon my allegiance to make it, and divers of the Lords standing by said, if we refused that to do, it were treason ; whereupon I, being in great fear as ever I was in my life before, seeing the King so earnest and the Duke of Northumberland so angry the day before, and considering with myself the making of the book without the execution of it was no treason, and the thing done in the King's life could be none offence nor contempt to the Queen's Highness that now is, not being then Queen, without the execution of the same after the said King's death, which I determined with myself not to do nor execute for my part, whatsoever should come of it, which determination I have truly kept hitherto ; I said to the King that I had served his most noble father and him these nineteen years, and lothe I would be to disobey his commandment, and if his Highness would give unto me and the other his commission, license and commandment under his Great Seal, and also a pardon under his Great Seal when we had done, I for my part would make the writings according to the articles signed with his Highness' hand, and all the other agreed to the same ; which said commission, license, commandment and pardon the King said it were but reason that we should have them, and the same commission, license and commandment passed the Great Seal and is to be showed, and the pardon passed the Signe, and the said Duke would not suffer it to be sealed, because he would have no man in better case than himself, and so the said writings were made, where- unto I was privy against my will, and by as great fear as ever I was in, in all my life before, alway declaring, as well to the King as to all the Lords divers times, that the writings being made were nothing worth for the avoiding of the Act of Suc- cession, which would not be taken away but by Parliament. For this doing, I am discharged of my office of the Chief Justiceship of the Common Pleas, being worth six hundred marks by the year, and had six weeks' imprisonment in the Tower of London. Item : By commandment of the Commissioners I must sur- render my letters patents of lands to the yearly value of 521. 4s. by the year, which King Edward gave me for my six years' service and more. Iteyn: By the said Commissioners' order, I must pay one thousands pounds, whereof five hundred pounds is already paid, and the other five hundred pounds are to be paid at the feast of All Saints come twelve months. Also I have seventeen children— that is to say, six sons and eleven daughters. 6 Now all the said forfeiture of office, surrender of my patent, payment of a thousand pounds, and six weeks' imprisonment, is for a contempt done to the Queen's Highness that now is,_ then not being Queen, in her brother the King's life, that- is _ to say, eight days before the said King died, sithe which time neither in word nor deed that ever I meddled against the Queen, but my son, by my commandment, served the Queen's Highness with twenty of my servants, as the gentlemen of Buckinghamshire and other can report." 2 pp. Endorsed: " The humble petition of Sir Edward Mountagu, knight.

To-morrow, at night, we intend to camp at Douglas, the next night at Hadington, the third night at Muskleboroughe, and within two mile of that place we unship our ordnance and mounts the same, and there meeteth us the Duke of Shatyllarye (Chastelherault), with the residue of the Congregation, who hath promised us by writing to be five thousand men, whereof three thousand horse at the least, and to remain with us twenty days, and longer if it be possible, but their promise is fulfilled at the end of twenty days. The Dowager of Scotland leaveth the town and goeth to the Castle with twelve persons, who shall be received by the Lord of Askyne (Erskine) who hath the custody of the said , Castle, and a neuter to both the factions. The residue of the Erenchmen intendeth to keep Lythe, and (as it is said) they will burn Edenboroughe [if] we be within two days' journey of it, to the end- we shall have no relief of the town, but I believe it not, for our journey were well bestowed if they would burn their chiefest town. Also we shall receive to-morrow, in the morning, six pledges, whereof the Earl Eyvers'* third son is one, the Earl of Glencarne's second son, the Earl of Argyle's brother's son, the Master [of] Maxewell, the Lord Loughborough's son and a kinsman of the Earl of Huntley's, which pledges being received and sent into England, we shall have for our conductors the Earl Eyvers, the Lord of Grange and the Lord of Ledington [Lethington] and the Lord of Armeston [Ormistoun] who shall not leave us till our artillery be unshipped and mounted, and without further delay we do approach the town. 2 jyp. [Copy sent by Edtv. Watson to his brother \in-laic], Mr. Mountagu.'] William, Maequis of Nokthampton to Lord Zouchb, Sir John Spencer, and Sir Eobert Lane, Knights, and Mr. Edward Mowntagewe, Esquire. 1560, July 21. The Court. — " I have received your letters, written the first day of the assizes there, in answer of mine of the 7th of this month, touching the certificate made of the numbers of that shire, and albeit you seem by the same to ground the excuse of your former doings upon old precedents and former certificates of musters, yet, to be plain with you, as you say you think best so to be with me, I cannot well tell whether I may rather note an over near preciseness or an over great forgetfulness of duty in the manner of this service. It hath pleased the Queen's Majesty, for great and extraordinary respects, to understand the whole estate and force of her realm, and for that purpose hath given an universal order for the mustering of all the able men within each county between the ages of sixty and sixteen throughout her realm, and amongst other, her Highness hath put me in trust with the lieutenancy of that shire, and committed the doing of this as well as other services there unto me. And I taking you, that I have appointed my deputies, to be such towards her Highness and your country as I have always esteemed you_, was bold to desire your help and to repose my trust in you, hoping you would have made another manner account of this service than I perceive you have done. The Queen's Majesty looketh at my hands to understand, without collusion or respects of old precedents, the very truth and whole numbers indeed of all the able men that be at this present within that shire between the ages aforesaid, _ without hiding one man from her knowledge, and I must be fain in so special * The copy is inaoourate. "Earl Eyvers" is apparently a mistake for Lord Ruthven, whose son was one of the hostages (see Cal. S. P. Scotland, 1509 — 1603 p. 133). " Lord Loughborough " is perhaps the Laird of Loohinvar. 10 a service to answer her with old precedents and former ordinary musters. How near this matter toucheth me in estimation and credit both you may well guess, and I am ashamed to know. I had well hoped I should by your diligence in this matter have had good ground to commend your service therein unto her Highness, and have thereby procured you such thanks for the same at her Majesty's hands as other gentlemen in other shires have received from her Highness for their good service done in this matter. And, contrary ways, I now, to my grief, fain to keep your doings therein from her Majesty's knowledge, lest she should, and not without cause, think both you and me worthy great blame for the slender regard that is had to her commandment. If the musters now appointed had been but an ordinary matter, and a thing of course, as hath been used at other times, you might have had some cause of excuse ia following former precedents, but in a matter so earnestly meant from the Queen, and so specially recommended unto you, and wherein all other men show to the uttermost of their goodwills, I cannot but be sorry to see that you there should draw so far back, and lean more to private respects and old precedents than to service of her Majesty and the realm. You say the certificate you have now made exceedeth others that have been of late years there by four hundred men, and I know and dare assure you there be other shires no bigger than that that do in their present certificates exceed their former ordinary musters by as many thousands as you do hundreds, and stand, never- theless, in doubt how their diligence therein will be allowed, such is the regard they have to this special service. And therefore, lest the burden hereof, being over weighty for me to bear, should be laid to my charge, I must be fain, and will not fail, if the Queen's Majesty shall give me leave, either to repair thither to see reformation hereof myself, or else appoiat some such to do the same as shall be content rather to bear private displeasure than leave her Majesty's service undone. And albeit I did not write anything to you in this matter that I greatly force (sic) who do see, yet seeing I wrote to you privately, as unto those in whom I reposed my special trust, meseemeth it was more than needed to impart the contents thereof openly to any other, as you say you have done. Finally, touching that part of your letter where you desire the musters of the shire may be deferred for this time, in respect of the necessity of the time and the harvest growing daily on, although it shall be no little grief unto me to be the last within the whole realm that shall bring in the account of my doings and the certificates of the musters within my charge, yet for the relief of the county and some ease to the poor men there, I shall be content, seeing the present necessity so requireth, to bear the burden thereof for awhile, and put off the new musters until the time and season of the year may be more apt for the purpose. I cannot but also remember unto you that the muster master there hath not done his part in such sort and order as was looked for at his hands, for neither do I understand any such- 11 diligence used by him in this service as had been necessary, nor yet seen any book made by him of the certificate and order of the musters already passed, as all other muster masters in other places have very diligently and carefully done, only do I hear the certificates of his doings by the report of your letters, which I cannot but find very strange.

Lastly these are to beseech your Lordship to have good regard to cause pay -to be sent over shortly for this poor garrison, for that they want all necessaries, and many of these townsmen and of Midelborgh are almost undone by forbearing the debts of these companies so long ; besides, the soldiers grow to be discontented, which is very dangerous, for that the enemy and the Estates are bent to put in use any secret practice that might hurt this action."

As the Estates continue in their indirect course against Medenblicke and [Col.] Sonoye, your lordship is prayed to send means from England to relieve the place, for although those parts are now well affected to her Majesty, yet if the Estates were to prevail against that town, now in some extremity, " this whole island would be greatly endangered, and the good opinions of all other parts wholly withdrawn from us." They pray that you will send out a commission for the raising of two more companies in Trevere and in Armewe, and that the serjeant-major of Trevere, Monsieur Coster, may have the raising of one of them, he being a very honest, sufficient man. They the more desire these levies as they have secret intelligence that " the States and others will use some violence against them for this their good meaning towards her Majesty."

Your Honour promised to move her Majesty on my behalf in consider- ation of my good services in North Wales in the apprehension of murderers, coiners and felons to the number of a hundred, " as appeareth of record in sessions and gaol deliveries before her Majesty's Council, and in the great sessions of the shires of North Wales,whieh her Majesty's said Council of the Marches of North Wales have advertised your Honour thereof heretofore, and how some of the said murderers have murdered the sheriff of the county of Merioneth, called Lewis Owen." I have hitherto asked nothing from her Majesty, or from her father, brother or sister, all of whom I have faithfully served, but if it would please her to grant me another lease for forty years " or a fee farm, or rather than fail, for three lives, which counter- vaileth no more than doth twenty-one years, paying yearly the accustomed rent taxed in her Majesty's book, I and mine were much beholden unto your Honour. Divers and sundry persons, as is reported, as Sir Walter Myldemaye's son, Mr. Sparke and others here of North Wales have and do make suit for the reversion of my said lease. Consider, my good Lord, that mo\j-a] trahit pericuhim." Mr. Atye can tell you further particulars. 1 p. Leonard Fryer to [the Earl of Leicester] . [1588. Before September.] — Petitioner served with her Majesty's forces in the Low Countries for a year and a quarter, first as master's mate, and from the time of his Honour's last going there until Michaelmas last [1587], viz. one quarter of a year, as master gunner. His wages amounted to 92L 5s., at the rate of U. 10s. the month as master's mate, and 9Z. the month as master gunner, of which he has received 13L 8s., " besides 5L sithence received of Mr. Hurleston,* then treasurer." So there *Hurleston (or Huddleston) was treasurer at wars up to the end of 1587, and Leicester died Sept. 4, 1588. See a later petition of Fryer to Lord Burghley, S. P, Dom. Eliz.

Middle Temple. — On the judges coming to town, I delivered your letter. " I found them very thankful in that you took that care for them, and not a little dis- pleased in that Mr. Mayor should so answer you. Justice Sute [Schute] told me after my second coming to him, which he willed, that they were not resolved whether to complain unto my Lord Chancellor or to my Lord Treasurer, or else to help it them- selves. Justice Gaudy, "he inquired of me what other con- venient towns there were in the county, fit to receive them, and meet for the ease of the country. I named unto him Wellingborough and Kethering. Neither of them was determined what to do, wherefore they willed me to repair unto them on Monday or Tuesday next, and I should then know what they 22 purposed." Mr. Sadler delivered your letter to Sir Walter Mild- may, who thinketh well of it in everything, as Mr. Sadler tells me. I sought Mr. Lane at his house, but hearing that he was, and generally is, at the court, I left your letter to be delivered to him. I was with Mr. Skinner, as you wished, and received the warrant which I send you, and for which I gave him 10s. 1 p. Heney Mountagu to his father, Sir Edwaed Mountagu. 1588 [-9], Feb. 1.

I was with Mr. William Lane this afternoon at the court, and after many fair wofds he said that within a fortnight at furthest he would be with you in the country. " Mr. Eandes, I thank him, putteth me to my shifts. Stevens was with Peter Tate, but he hath neither written to my Lord Chancellor nor taken any other order for your discharge. Randes came up to London with Stevens all the way, making him believe that his coming was to pay the money, and that he had the money ready to pay, but since he got London on his back, we could never set eye on him, nor hear what is become of him. The prefixed day is on Monday next. If I scape well then it shall be a caveat to deal safely hereafter.

" I have sent you by my man the view of our men, armour and horse. The number of our horse are diminished to four by the death of Mr. Woorine [? Warren], Mr. John Wingefelde, Mr. Hack and Mr. Francis Ashbie." I shall dispatch the examination of the purveyors on Thursday next. "I have likewise spoken about the remnant of the provision money, but my cousin Winge- felde being now sick, who took the matter upon him and never did anything in it so far as I can learn, wUl cause Maidewell to stay longer for his money I fear than in reason he should I have sent to my lady, by my wife's commandment, five peaches, being half the number within one that were gathered off my tree." The other half, Mr. Eoger Manners had. Likewise two pears, being the first fruits of a tree in my orchard.

As for Ann Lane, I pray you to provide her a mistress in the country, as she is a great charge to you here When her mistress went into the country, 1 was 24 obliged to let her come here " to the pestering of my house, being little, for they are fain to lie three in one bed, and if any of them should be sick, I have no place to remove one from another."

J 2^. Edward Montague to his mother, Lady Montague. 1600, June 19. London. — "I perceive by a letter from my brother Walter that he hath delivered my letter unto you, about Luddington fines, wherein I was bold to propound an offer to you to be moved to my father, the which it hath pleased you accord- ingly to perform, for the which I humbly thank you. But I perceive by my brother's letter that it is nothing well pleasing to my father, because of the affection he hath himself to the place, as also in respect of the commodity he makes of the things desired . . . therefore I beseech you that as the thing shall not be once thought of by me, so let it be forgotten of my father and you. And whereas Clement writes unto me that Mr. Latham, being at Boughton, made offer to me of his parsonage for some other consideration, the which you being made acquainted with, he sends me word that you would have me go forward with it, [I w] ill think upon it, but upon the first thought I cannot see how it wo [uld be any] way convenient for me as it is, and to bestow cost of it were more than folly, considering the tickle estate. I have been much troubled about getting a house thereabouts, but truly forsooth from hence forward I will leave off that care. It will not displease my wife to be at London, and her estate doth more require it now than ever it did, and I hope you will not be weary of my company in the country, for when my sister Theodosia is gone from you, you will not be well 29 pleased unless you have some of your children with you. And I may be set so to work that I may at my father's hands earn my victuals, for which I may keep him company at chess, and if need be I may take his part at double hand Irish, and if there be occasion of weightier matters, as punishing of rogues and such like, if it please him to employ me [it] may ease him. And to do you some service I may in the summer-time [gather aprico]ts and peaches or some such like work, and when they are well pic [ked I will] do my best, (if Eawson be out of the way), to learn to pack up [the] boxes better than my brother Webster and I could do the last year. And if [none] of all these pains do deserve my meat and drink, yet truly they would be well be- stowed of me, because they will be well seen (sic) by me, especially if I may have fromenty and cheesecakes. But I am afraid that you will not be at Barnewell this year, and then you will not have so good store of that kind as you had the last year. I do fear you have lost a coUop and continue still weak. You know I am seldom without a medicine for my friend, what distaste soever he hath. It becomes me not to conceal it from you, for I know that if you will observe it, you shall find good of it. I have not read it in Gallon, but learned it out of Solomon, a joyful heart maketh a cheerful countenance. This cordial hath these properties — it will quicken the eye, ruddy the cheeks, clear the blood, and make the skin fair. There is never a lady in this town but might be glad to know the secrecy of this, and it might save them much cost that they bestow upon colour and complexion. But the way to know the excellency and virtue of any thing is to compare it with the contrary, and to see what ill effects that brings forth. My author saith By the sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. Heart's grief mars the looks, dulls the spirits in such sort that one hath not the perfect use of his wits ; it makes one even with pain to draw his breath. Nay, see a further virtue of the cordial, a joyful heart causeth good health, beware therefore of the contrary, for a sorrowful mind drieth up the hones, that is, it causeth death. I pray you think I am not in jest. It is another gates** medicine than the Ehinoeeros root; that was but for white hands, but this is for all parts of a man's body and soul too, I beseech God to give you this cordial 'comfort, and then I doubt not of your perfect recovery. And if I have been more tedious than I should be, I beseech you bear with my desire a little to stir up your spirits." I crave your daily blessing. Damaged. 1 p. Sydney Mountagu to his mother.

Northampton, who are to be dispatched [with certain arms and equipments, specified]. Special care is to be taken that they are serviceable and able men, for, as they are "to be employed in the North of Ireland where the plantation and maintenance of a strong garrison hath been a good help to divers great services which have been done this summer in that kingdom, and will give furtherance to some actions that are to be undertaken this winter, her Majesty doth desire nowthatthefruitthereofisseen,thatthey maybe supplied in that sort as the chargeable war may have an end." If possible, they are to be such as are accustomed to the use of the fowling piece, and as artificers are needed, a carpenter, smith, saddler, and bricklayer or hewer of stones are to be of the number. A sufficient and discreet conductor is to be chosen, and as the- ordinary rate of pay for conducting a hundred men, 4s. a day, is too much when the number is so small, you are to fix such sum as you think meet for him.

As to the keeping of the courts, which would be a charge to you and needless except for gathering the chief rents, I will see these rents satisfied to you if it is decided that you are executors.

Norton. — Understanding that Sir Edward is to be one of the knights of the shire, with "no repugnant voices," he begs his influence that his son. Sir Valen- tine Knightleie, may be joined with him in that service, f p. Hampton Court Conference. [1604, January.] — "Our earnest suit to our reverend brethren, chosen to deal for the cause in the conference, is that according to the calling and opportunity that God hath given they would solicit his Majesty in the behalf of the Church in these points. 1. That there may be order taken for establishing of such ministers in any congregation as are well approved to be sound in religion, able to teach, diligent in teaching, and of unblame- able life, and for the avoiding of all dispensations for pluralities, non residents and commendams. 2. That order may be taken for raising a competent main- tenance for the ministry by uniting of small parishes, near adjoining, by making void unreasonable prescriptions in the commodities of the church, or by help yielded from impropria- tions where the vicarages are not sufficient, either by causing of colleges, bishoprics, and cathedral churches to be leased only to the preachers upon the accustomed rent and fine, or by some other convenient way. 3._ That the articles of religion may be reviewed, and more particularly and plainly and fully set down, that so all erroneous doctrines may be prevented, and the doctrine of the church touching all points controverted at this day may be clearly known, and that subscription may be required only to those articles as to the confession of the faith of our churches. 4. That all ceremonies that have been known to be offensive, and which very many profitable ministers in the land cannot be persuaded to use, may be abolished, or at least left free to use or refuse according to the conscience and discretion of the faithful minister. 33 5. That the liturgy may be corrected according to the Word, and that for the better fitting and enabling men for the ministry the exercise of prophecying may be established, both in the universities and in every parish in the land. 6. That according to the statute 25 Henry VIII., the canons and ecclesiastical laws may be reviewed, and that so all which are not sound and agreeable to the Word may be abolished, and the rest publicly and plainly set forth, that we may know what laws we are bound to obey. 7. That the abuses of eco [lesiastical] Courts, especially in the matter of exc [ommunications ?] and the oath ex officio may be redressed, and the minister's right in the exercise of the church censures and ordination of ministers may be restored. 8. That better order may be taken for the observation of the Sabbath, both for the inhibiting of wakes, pastimes and fairs on that day and for the reverent and diligent frequenting of the church assemblies, as also for the abolishing of all holy days carrying the name of saints. 9. That a catechism containing briefly all the chief grounds of Christian religion may be by sound advice composed and set forth for the use of every congregation throughout the land, with order that the people submit themselves to learn the same. That his Majesty may be satisfied concerning the imputation of Puritanism, disloyalty, innovation and faction that have been laid upon the .faithful ministers and people of the land, and that humble suit be made to his Highness that either by proclamation or otherwise, they may be freed from those reproaches, and that the ministers within any diocese [who] are now troubled by the bishops for the ceremonies, subscription, and such like, may be thereby set free, at the least till such time as these matters shall be by his Majesty and the parliament fully determined, and that the bishops and their officers may not till then be permitted to molest them for the matter above named.

Mr. Jacob, ) Mr. Barbon, \ Mr. Woode, I The use of the surplice, cope, cross in baptism, kneeling at Communion respectively to the Sacrament, imposition of hands in Confirmation, ring in marriage, and sundry other offensive ceremonies in our church, is not indifferent but simply unlawful in the public worship and divine service of God. Arguments. Argument 1. Ceremonies which are of the same kind and use as were the Levitical ceremonies, which by ordinance only have an holy use in the divine service and a mystical signification of an holy thrug are not indifferent, but simply unlawful to be used in divine service. And the ceremonies above named are of such use and signifi- cation — ergo * Major. — 1. Christ by his death has abolished the Levitical law and thereby all the ceremonies thereof, and instead "hath left only two Sacraments and imposition of hands in Ordination, and another of that kind and power in his church, but only such." 2. Under the Levitical law no ceremony was lawfully used without the express ordination of God himself, and therefore now, when the ceremony law is abrogated, none of that nature may lawfully be used without the like express warrant. 3. Christ condemns the like significant ceremonies, as imposed by the precepts of men. * The arguments have been somewhat condensed. 35 4, By allowing and using such, we lay a ground to warrant all other ceremonies ordained and observed in the Church of Rome. Minor.—" The minor is plain by the preface before the Oommon [Prayer] Book, which affirmeth them to be neither dark not dumb, but set forth that every man may understand what they mean and to what use they serve. 2. By Mr. Jewell's report of them. 3. "Which also is indeed manifest :— First, in the Cross, and by the words annexed, which show a mystical signification thereof and advance it to the nature of a Sacrament by so applying unto it the very mystery of Baptism. 2. By the surplice, by the writmgs of Durandus and other principal men of the Church of Eome, from whence we have received it. 2. (sic) By the profession of our own men who are the chief maintainors of it. 3. Also by the common conceit and acceptance of all papists and those that are superstitious and ignorant." And the like of all the other ceremonies. Argument II. — " If it were never so lawful to ordain significant ceremonies, yet it is not at all lawful to take any such either from Levitical priesthood, for that were to revive those that are already dead by the death of Christ and for ever buried by the Apostles' doctrine ; or from the heathen idolaters, for that were against the Scripture .... or from the Church of Eome, for that were to commit sin with an higher hand, in taking unto us the marks of Antichrist, the arch-idolater." But the surplice and other vestments are derived from the Levitical linen ephod, and partly from the Egyptian priesthood, and all from the Eomish priesthood, and the sign of the Cross " was the great idolatry of popery, used in all sacraments," ergo, they are unlawful by us to be received. Objection. But the cross, surplice, &c. are not originally from the papists, but were used by the Fathers within four hundred years after Christ, before the Pope came to his height, ergo : " They may be derived from them, not from him." Solution. Many other ceremonies, "viz. altar, holy oil, milk, honey, and such like " were used by the Fathers, "all which were a seed of Antichrist's abomination," which afterwards were established by the Eoman canons, and so became creatures of Antichrist and proper marks of subjection to him. Moreover these ceremonies, and especially the sign of the cross, were never " more grossly spoken of by the schoolmen who in popery followed after than they are by those Fathers, ergo not to be accepted of us ... neither to be urged upon us by their warrant, sithe they do give no absolute allowance to their authority therein, for then it were reason we should receive them as they do offer them, and not as we list to take them." 86 Argument III. If these ceremonies are taken from popish idolatry, others may follow, for " the cross is more superstitious and idolatrous than any of the rest, and the surplice not much better, except as Donatists we will say quod volunms sanctum est." But yet our church does not hold fit to receive, nor does de facto receive these others. Ergo, it neither ought (as we would to God it did not) receive the foresaid. Argument IV. " If it were so that ceremonies might be taken from the Papists' priesthood and used by the ministers of the Gospel, yet can it not be any indifferent thingto impose the use of such of them as are notoriously known to give scandal and to hinder the good course and success of the Gospel. But the ceremonies propounded are such," ergo : Major. The major is the doctrine of the Apostles touching scandal, not only in the matter of idolatry, I. Cor. viii. 9, 13, [x.] 28, 33, but also in things of much less importance, Rom. xiv. 14, as were the Jewish ceremonies of days, &c. Minor. The minor is evident : — 1. In point of scandal, as obstin- ate papists are confirmed by it in the opinion of their religion, as Harding avoucheth against Bishop Jewell, saying if these were good, then all popery was not bad, and that he hoped the rest would follow. 2. The novice in the Gospel is thus drawn back to popery. 3. The most sincere professors of the Gospel are much grieved thereby. 4. We ourselves and many of our brethren are persuaded of the indifferency of these cere- monies. By their enforcement, many are driven back from the work of the ministry, many worthy ministers are thrust out, and " the most of any integrity continually vexed for not observing them." The common adversary of religion is armed by the same, and the common people distracted in opinion both of the ministry and of religion " and we for our parts, and many other of our brethren, are of mind rather to endure expulsing from our ministry and places in the church than to use those so offensive ceremonies and especially to subscribe to them against our resolutions and our consciences." Argument V. "Those ceremonies which the best reformed churches have repelled, and in a manner all godly learned men of the universities abroad and the most worthy men of our own nation, of whom some were martyrs, and others even for these things lost their ecclesiastical promotions, and which especially are approved and maintained by such as enjoy the dignities of " the church and are for the most part of them pluralists and non- residents, those, we say, the faithful ministers . . . ought not to receive," 37 Against ceremonies in "general. More arguments in diem secundmn. Whatever is not contained in the Word is burdensome to the conscience of Christians, who are set at Uberty by Christ. Acts XV. 19 ; I. Peter, v. 3. But such are these ceremonies, especially the cross and surplice, ergo : Minor. As they are not expressed in the Word, the ministers cannot "use ceremonies in the service of God, which have especial ornaments in the service of Antichrist, as the cross and surplice." Common experience shows those that are acquainted with our country congregations that the people are three ways affected. To those effectually called by the preaching of the Gospel to the more sincere profession of religion, the use of the said cere- monies hath been, is, and ever will be, very offensive, both as thrust into God's service without warrant from the Word, and as substantial parts of the popish idolatry, wherefore the ministers, even if themselves persuaded of the indifferency of them, ought not to use them, much less to be forced to use them against their own consciences, which is "to rule as lords over the faith of God's heritage, and to sit in and even to bind their consciences. Again, some of the people (as lamentable experience after so many years' preaching of the Gospel doth too plainly witness in most places) are notwithstanding merely ignorant and super- stitious, to these the use of them so long already hath wrought a kind of harding in their rehgious conceit of these holy uses and significations which they had in the popish church, and makes them to think far better of all other ceremonies, yea, and do wish that they might have again the old service, alleging that love and charity and plenty never went out of the world, nor that scarcity, hatred and other calamities never entered into it until this new law (for so [they] term the profession of the Gospel) came up, even as the Jews did, Jer. xliv., and what can the continuance of the said ceremonies do unto such, but further to obdurate them in their former conceit and love to those and all other Eomish reliques, and further to nouzell them up further in their inveterate rancour against the profession and professors of the Gospel. To those, therefore, nothing but the abolishing of them can do any good. Lastly, other some are either indifferent or plain neuters, of which the last sort greatly regard not of what religion they be, and to the former all things being indifferent, they not using of them, can- not hurt at all." Argument II. " Whatsoever is brought into the service of God by the authority of human tradition, and not by the Word of God, ought to be rejected. But the cross in baptism, &c,, ergo— 38 Major. The major is evident. 1. By the doctrine of our Saviour. Mat. xv. 2. By the doctrine of protestants against the traditions of popery. 3. If this tradition in one may prevail it may also in all offered by the papists bearing the same authority of antiquity. Minor. Is proved by the testimony of TertuUian de cor., who speaking of the cross amongst other things hath this : Horum si legem postules scripturare nidlwrn invenies ; traditio tibi pretenditur autrix, consuetudo confirmatrix, fidus observatrix." * Argument III. If we receive the cross by tradition of the Fathers, we must by the same admit the most gross errors of popery, viz., sacrifice, but this we may not. Ergo — Major. Vide TertuUian, ibid. Minor. The minor and conclusion are evident. Argument IV. If we receive the sign of the cross in baptism by the authority of the Fathers, we should also receive the anointing with holy oil (and that the rather because it hath a more consonant signification to the word), the altar to consecrate it, milk, honey and imposition of hands also in baptism, " and the rather because they were never brought into popery, for Cyprian, the author of the cross, saith of the oil, Epist. liber primus : t Ungi quoque necesse est eum qui baptizatus est, adding the signification thereof, viz. : accepto christmate, id est imctione, esse unctiis Dei et habere in si Christigratiam posset," and TertuUian Contra Marcionem, I saith Nee olium reprobavit quo suos uncit, mean- ing the baptized, which he highly approveth, saying Etiam in sacramentis suis egens mendicantibus creatwris, which also was used in all churches, Greek as weU as Latin, as appeareth by Basil and Ambrose. And of this oil, and ceremonies of milk and honey, saith TertuUian, De cor : militis : — Lactis et mellis concordiam prcegustamus, and Contra Marcionem X : — Nee lactis et mellis societatem reprobavit qua suos infantwr. This oil, I say, and these ceremonies, must bring in the altar, according to that of Cyprian, Epist : liber primus. Et unde baptizati unguem, olium altari sanctificatur. Sanctificare antem nan potuit olium creaturam qui nee altar e liabuit.% And of imposition of hands with the * De Corona Militis cap. iv. " Harum si legem expostules soripturarum nullam invenies : traditio tibi proetendetur autrix, consuetudo confirmatrix, et fides observatrix." t Epistoloi, Liber 1., no. 12. Epis. LXX. of later editions. " Ungi quoque necesse est eum qui baptizatus sit . . . ut accepto chrismate, id est unctione, esse unctus Dei et habere in se Christi gratiam possit." J Adversus Marcionem, liber primus. The whole passage runs : — " Sed ills quidem usque nunc nee aquam reprobavit oreatoris qua suos abluit, nee oleum quo suos unguit, nee meUis et lactis societatem qua suos infantat, etiam in sacramentis pro- priis egens mendioitatibus creatoris." § " Porro autem Eucharistia et unde baptizati unguntur, oleum in altari sanctifi- catur. Sanctificare autem non potuit olei creaturam qui nee altare habuit nee soclesianv" 39 signification thereof saith Cyprian, Ad Juheanum, declaring the order of baptism per riostram orationem et manuum impositionem spiritum sanctum insequimw. ** Argument V. What is delivered by the Fathers in such manner, being brought in by the iniquity working in their times, is as corruftt as in the papists. But such is the sign of the cross, ergo — Major is manifest. Minor is proved, 1. "In that they ascribe to it the perfecting of baptism, as Cyprian Ad Jub\aianwn\ concludeth the whole act of baptism thus, Et signaculo dominico consitmmentur, meaning the cross. 2. In that they ascribe unto it the virtue of blessing and consecration in all sacraments, as Ciprian, De bapt. thus : Cujus virtus omnia peragit sacramenta, sine quo signo nihil est sanctum neque aliqua consecratio meretwr swum effectum, and ergo from the proportion thereof, as from the four points thereof, the mani- fold graces thereby, saying Hinc omnium sanctificationem exurgit siiblimitas et profunditas et longe lateque plenitudo defunditur gratiarum." + 3. " It hath with them, as with the papists, place also in the sacraments (sic) of the Lord's Supper, and so it had with us till it was taken away in the 2°* Common book of Ed. VI." 4. In that it is prescribed by them to drive away spirits, as Jerome, Ad Demet •, thus : — Et crebro signaculo crucis signis frontem ne exterminatur JEgipti in te locum repereat.l 5. In that they prescribe it to be used in all civil actions of life, and not only in our foreheads, but in the creatures, as Chrisostom in I. Tim. iv., thus: — -frontem crucis signaculo terremus ad omnem progressum, ad vestitum, ad calceatum, ad lavacram. § Argument VI. " That which receiveth warrant from the signs and miracles in the air and signs from the dead is not to take place in the actions of Christian religion." But the Cross is such : ergo — Major. This is evident by our Saviour's reproof to the Jews, leaving them " no sign in the heavens but the sign of the Son of Man appearing in the last day, which vainly the seminaries think to be the sign of the cross," and by Abraham's telling the rich man in hell that his brethren " should not look for one from the dead, but to receive the law and prophets for a sufficient testimony." * Ad Jubaicmum : — "Per nostram orationem ao manus impositionem spiritum sanctum oonsequantur." t De haptumo Christi. " Cujus virtus omnia peragit sacramenta sine quo signo nihil est sanctum neque aliqua conaecratis meretur effectum. Hinc omnium sanotificationum exurgit sublimitas et profundum et longe lateque plenitudo diffimditur gratiarum." J Ad Demetriadem. "Et crebro signaculo crucis munias frontem tuam, ne exter minator ^gypti te locum reperiat." § The quotation is from TertuUian, De Corona Militis :—" Ad omnem progressum atque promotum, ad omnem aditum et exitum, ad vestitum et calceatum, ad lavaora, ad mensas, ad lumiua, ad cubilia, ad sedilia . . . frontem crucis signaculo terimus," but Ohrysostom has a similar thought in his homily on I. Tim. iv. " Quod etiamsi communis est, medioamentum in promptu est, signum illi crucis imprime," &o. 40 Minor. This is evident by that which the papists and some before them have grounded upon the Greek Cross in the heavens, by the uncertain story of Eusebius, as also by " such devihsh miracles as are delivered in Vita Hilarionis," the story of Julian Apostate, &c., in the ecclesiastical histories. Argument VII. If we receive the cross from the Fathers we may receive all the rest and cannot condemn the papists for so doing. Argument VIII. "The positions of the learned from the 2nd Com [mandment] against making of images, though not then adored, yet being such as have been afterwards and still are adored of idolaters, are of strength against the cross in baptism, &c." Argument IX. The crosses in the highv/ays, church windows, the foreheads and bosoms of pa [pists ?] have better warrant, yet are condemned. Argujnent X. Wherever it has been "tolerable " [tolerated ?] it has been abused to gross and popish idolatry and superstition, both by the papists and others, especially in Lancashire and the northern parts. Ergo with the brazen serpent utterly to be abolished. Major is evident from Paul's doc [trine ?] of offence, I. Cor. viii. 10, &c. Minor is evident " In Lancashire and those northern parts, 1. in garnishing the dead with the cross. 2. By setting them down and praying at crosses in the highwaj', and leaving memo- rial crosses for them there. 3. Their giving of the right hand to all crosses. 4. By garnishing them with flowers and garlands on Corpus Christi day with much devotion. 5. Their wearing of palm crosses on Palm Sunday. 6, Thus (sic) signing themselves with the sign of the cross on the forehead at all prayers and blessings, and therefore they call it a blessing therewith to bless themselves when they first enter into the church, and in all their actions, even when they gape." Objection. "If objection be made of Constantino his banner, princes' coin and the practice of Christians in the presence of the heathen to resist, the answer is that in all this it had but a civil use, and ergo not to be brought into the service of good and ecclesiastical rites ; 2, that of the cross's temporary use amongst the heathen was to be left to them that needed it." 10 pp. Notes by [Sir Edwaed Montagu ?] . 1603 [-4], March 19.— First Parliament Jac. I. "The first day (being Monday) 19 March, after the King was gone to church, the Lord High Steward, which was the Earl of Nottingham, came into the usual place in Westminster, and after he had called all 41 the knights, citizens, and burgesses, and sworn some to the su- premacy, the rest went into the courts next the Parliament House, and there were sworn by certain of the House, appointed Commissioners by the Steward, and there most of them remained, expecting to be sent for into the Higher House. The King's Majesty, after he was set and all the Lords placed, and the King demanding once or twice whether the Lower House was come, and answer being made they were, though indeed the House ivas not there, his Majesty, putting off his cap and crown and putting it on again, made a most excellent speech, shewing the causes of the calling the Parliament to be three : — First, to shew his thankfulness for their general acceptation of him. Secondly, the benefits received thereby, which were individual to his person, and these to be four : first, union of the two king- doms ; 2°^y' outward peace and traffic with all princes ; S'"^'''' in- ward peace at home by succession in his children ; 4*'^'5" religion. Thirdly, the making and execution of laws : the making to be always at a ParHament, the execution always after, and that to stand upon sincerity and constant courage. He amplified all these, continuing his speech almost an hour, concluding,, the eloquence of a King to stand on plainness and sincerity. After this the Lord Chancellor made a speech, not much differing from the course in former ParUaments, and willed the Lower House to choose a Speaker, and to present him to his Majesty on Thursday next. This done, all those that were in the Higher House, whereof myself was one, returning into the Lower, which was almost full, and staying till Mr. Yice Chamberlain and Sir John Herbert."

Notes on the First Pabliambnt of James I., taken from Sir Edward Montagu's Journal. 1603 [-4], March 23 to June 28.— "Friday, 23 [March], Sir Edward Montague (who at that time was knight of the shire with Sir Valentine Knightley for the county of Northampton) delivered several grievances, which were enjoined him (as he says, in his journal* ) by the country to make known to the House, viz. : First, the intolerable burden, vexation, travail and charge of the Com- missaries' Courts, as now they are used. 2ndly, the suspension of grave, learned and sober-minded ministers, for not observing certain ceremonies, long since by many disused. 3rdly, the dis- population and daily excessive conversion of tillage into pasture ; which motion the House committed for the Monday next following. This motion was introduced in the words following : — t ' I know my own weakness in judgment and mine infirmities of speech, both, which, as you may well perceive, makes me in fear to speak before this grave, wise and honorable presence. Yet had I rather submit myself to your wise censures and brave your patience than be silent in matters so straightly enjoined me by the country for which I serve.' Then he mentioned them as above, and proceeded in this manner. ' The cry of the country (for so may I truly and rightly term it) called upon me and my fellow companion to make these things known unto you, and to beg your assistance for the relief of them. I hold myself well eased and unburdened of a great charge in that I have uttered them unto you, leave the consideration of them to your wisdoms, and I yield you most humble thanks for your vouchsafed patience.' • Margin. " Folio 4." f Margin. " Folio S." 43 '•■^The next affair I find Sir Edward Montague employed in this session was as one of the members appointed by the House (whereof the whole number was but forty) to wait on the King in the Council Chamber, upon the great affair depending in this Parliament concerning the election of Sir Francis Goodwin! for Buckinghamshire, where the case was shortly this. A writ having issued, teste 30 January^they proceeded to an election 22 February,! on which Sir William Fleetwood and Sir Francis Goodwin were returned. On this return the sheriff certified that_ Sir Francis stood outlawed, and therefore was not qualified to serve. Whereupon a new writ issued, teste 16 March, on which they proceeded to a second election, in_ which Sir John Fortescue was returned. I Complaint being made of this proceeding to the House by Sir William Fleetwood, the Clerk of the Crown was ordered to attend, who brought in the returns above and delivered them to the House. The House, upon debate, resolved that the first return was good, and that the sheriff had inserted more than he ought to have done, whereupon Sir Francis was sworn and admitted into the House. A few days after this (viz., 26 March), at a conference between the Houses upon another affair, the Lord Cecil proposed to the managers of the House of Commons the affair of Sir Francis Goodwin's election,! and added that if they had authority, he would show them the reasons of their (the Lords') dislike. The Commons absolutely refused to confer with the Lords on that affair, and so it broke up. 28 March. § The Speaker of the House of Commons (Sir Edward Philips) waited on the Kiilg, and delivered the Commons' reasons for their proceedings in that affair. 29 March. § Mr. Speaker reported what was done in that affair before the King, and the King's message to the House, which was to this effect : First, that he should report the course that was taken, and the resolution of the Judges. 2'?'''5" that we should proceed to some resolution amongst ourselves. 3'^ if we were not resolved, then to resort to the Judges. Lastly, if we were resolved, we should make repair to his Council, by whom we should know his Majesty's pleasure. 5 April. § The Speaker delivered a message from his Majesty to the House, the effect of which was that he did desire as a good King and command as a King, || the House to prepare that there might be a conference between the House and the Judges, before his Council, and appointed the House to choose a com- petent number of their members to meet that afternoon. Upon this, forty were appointed (whereof Sir Edward Montagu was one, who went immediately) to confer about the reasons before 'Margin. " JoumaJ MSS., fol. 14." \ Margin. " See Sir Ealph Wiawood's Memorials, Vol. II., f. 18, 19." XMargin. " MS. Journal, fol. 3, 4, 9." § Margin. " Journal, MSS. 9, 10, 13." || "As an absolute King," Commons Journals, Vol I. p. 166. 44 presented. It was then moved (and upon debate carried), that his Majesty should be moved that he would be present himself at the conference. To this the King condescended, and after some debate on both sides a point was stirred by the Judges which had never been mentioned before, which was that the first writ was not well returned, and consequently that neither Sir Francis Goodwin nor Sir John Fortescue were well elected. Upon which his Majesty ordered that a new writ should go to choose (and that neither Goodwin nor Fortescue should be candidates'*) another, and that the writ should be granted to go out of the Lower House ; to which all assented. And (as Sir Edward re- marks) his Majesty not only pardoned them that had spoken most and stoutest in this cause, but thought the best of them. Note, upon this new writ, Christopher Pigot, esq., was returned, who was afterwards expelled the House, t I In pursuance of Sir Edward Montague's motion concerning the grievance of the Commissaries' Courts, on Monday, 16th April, the Speaker delivered a message from his Majesty to the House, the purport of which was, That he understood that there were divers griefs complained of touching Commissaries' Courts, and that the House dealt in matters of discipline, and therefore wished there might be a conference between the Commons and the Bishops, to which the House assented. 17 April, t Mr. Speaker renewed his motion about conference with the Bishops, as he was directed by message from his Majesty, which was delivered by the Bishop of London (Bancroft) to him, and it was then propounded that the conference should be with the Convocation, which the House utterly refused to consent to. The next day the Speaker informed the House that his Majesty's intention in commanding a conference with the Convocation was not to bring in new precedents, or to abridge the liberties of the House, and therefore he liked well that the House should confer with the Bishops of the Lords of Parliament. I The next day the Lords agreed that the Commons should have a conference with the Bishops. The Lords appointed thirty and the Commons sixty. I On Monday, 4th June, the Lords and Commons had a con- ference about matters of religion, at which the Lords refused to join in a petition. And the Bishop of London read a letter or writing from the Convocation inhibiting the Bishops to confer with the House of Commons, for that the laity had no authority to meddle in those matters now the King had granted to them letters patents, protesting that if they did proceed they would appeal to the King. I On Friday, 8th June, Sir Francis Hastings reported to the House what had passed at the conference about religion, and shewed the parts of the prohibition which the Bishop of London had read. * Margin.

But the Parliament being prorogued the 7th of July following, I conceive nothing considerable was done in that affair."

London. — Statement concerning the delivery of the petition against the suspension of the non- conforming ministers in Northamptonshire and the subsequent apology of the presenters. The first part is wanting. "[We should] have delivered it in that night but that the Council was risen before we came. On Sunday, 17th February, we attended and delivered in that new one, which was scanned and well-liked, with some additions which the Lords put in, and Mr. Attorney being there, he put in the words the Lords wished to be inserted. But I desired to confer before I gave consent, and so we conferred at the Lord Chamberlain's chamber, and there, with some words added to those of Mr. Attorney, we agreed, and caused it to be written fair, set to our hands, and delivered it to the Lords at their up-rising, who showed it to his Majesty. That afternoon, being called before them, they told us of his Majesty's dislike and that the petition was not full to the point, and so delivered to us the petition again, to frame anew. I desired their Lordships that if we could not agree in one, that every man might give in his own submission, which they liked well of. When we were come from the Lords that submission was defaced, and I resolved not to yield any more to the like in writing. • Margin. "Journal MSS. f. 32, 33, 36." 46 The next morning we attended the Lords again, where I sub- mitted myself to his Majesty's mercy, and their Lordships' good pleasure. The rest did the like. Then the Lords asked if we would not do as much as we had done yesterday. I denied it for my part, some or most of the rest yielding, yet at the length, by the persuasion of my companions, and because I would not be singular, and could not tell how it might be taken, I yielded like- wise to that. Then the Lords asked for it, but we told them it was defaced, but Sir William Lane had a copy fair wherein certain words were added, which he acquainted us withal, and then the Lords demanded of us if we would subscribe to that, which I refused. Sir Eichard and Sir William subscribed. Sir Valentine had respite given him till Sunday following. Then I was censured to be put out of all commissions for his Majesty's service and to depart into the country, but I making known to their Lordships my wife's weak estate, they gave me leave to tarry in town. Sir Valentine at the time refusing to subscribe was censured as I was. [In Sir Edward's own writing and signed.l 1 p.

Hemmington. — By reason of company and other occasions I have not had convenient leisure to write to you before. " It seems now, by your letter, that both by speech and writing you have submitted yourself to the King his command, and I trust in so good respect that neither the King nor the Council shall have any further cause of exception against you, if reason may give them content. I perceive also by you, which I partly heard of before, that there is some coals kindling against your brother Dean,* but I trust in God, when he shall appear before his Majesty, he will so clear himself that the sparks will light upon his accuser's face, and the shame redound upon himself, who, as I am persuaded, to give colour to. his own matter, doth wrongfully accuse others, as by further trial I trust will appear. If your brother Doctor did return at that time of your expectation, he can satisfy you that your brother Charles went with him but to Worcester and returned back upon Tuesday was sevennight. Now for my vicarage. I did defer the time of my presentation so long as I could (in respect of the poor man) wanting now but one month since the intimation, and in all the favour that I might I sent Mr. Brigers to the Bishop, to see whether he would, out of his own voluntary compassion, yield him any favour. And the Bishop, partly in respect of his poor estate, and partly (as I take it) in respect of me, did freely send unto me by him, the time of his presentation after mine, under his own hand [and] seal, by God his good providence. And I trust by that time be expired, things will fall out better or worse, so • i.e. Dr. James Montagu, Dean Qf the Chapel Boyal. 47 that I shall take further order therein, and if you please to come down into the country, you need not to be at any charge for housekeeping, for with me you shall have both feeding and lodg- ing and welcome."— I pray God to bless you and yours. 1 p. Sir Edwakd Montagu. [1605] , July 15. Further statement concerning his submission to the King. "This continued till Sunday, the 9th of June, 1605, at which time by my brother Dean his means I was brought to his Majesty's presence in his withdrawing chamber, about eight of the clock at night, where kneeling down and showing to his Majesty that I had lived as a dead man ever since I was in his displeasure, and therefore besought him to pass by wherein I had offended him, and to be pleased to receive me into his favour again, his Majesty told me it was long of myself, and he took it more unkindly at my hands than of any of the rest, because he loved and had honoured my house by gracing me, and making one brother Eecorder, and another Dean of his Chapel. And so fell mto discourse of his profession of religion and against the papists, saying that he had rather die than they should increase in his days, and for the ceremonies we should rely on him. He remembered all things that I had said to the Council, and after he had used many holy and gracious speeches to me, he willed me to write to him for his further satisfaction, and at his going away he, upon my brother's request, gave me his hand, and to my remembrance said to me that he never wished me ill in his life. On Friday, the 14th June, according to his Majesty's com- mand, I wrote unto him, and my brother sent me word that the King liked my letter pretty well, saving there was one thing somewhat doubtful, which, upon my brother's speech, he seemed to be satisfied in. On Monday, the 16th [17th] June, my brother Dean supped with me and told me that yesterday Sir Eo. Ashton told him that the King liked my letter well, and his Majesty willed him to bring it him in the afternoon. Then he showed me a letter from the Earl of Sarum, in these words : — ' Mr. Deane, I should have some speech with you con- cerning your brother, whose letter his Majesty have given to my Lords.' The rest of the letter was but where my brother should have [sic] him.* The next morning, being Tuesday, the 17th [18th] June, though my brother went that day towards Worcester, yet he went to my Lord of Sarum, with whom he had private speech concerning me and my letter. Since which time I have heard nothing, being the 15 July.

The Court. — "I have now given his Majesty a full account of my travail at London, and what the Lords have said to me. I told the King that my lord of Salisbury was fully satisfied, and had written a letter to his Majesty in my behalf. Before I had said this, my lord of Salisbury came in to the King himself, and after supper had great and long speech with him, but all for my good, as I perceived after by the King. The next morning I delivered my letter, and had a very good time, and the King seemed to be well pleased, and said he should think me the more honest man hereafter. Presently I begged a good living for Mr. Eichard Murray, and the King gave it him, whereupon I gather that the King is not much offended with me. I find a kind of disposition in the King to have me confronted with [Lewis] Pickering. I will not desire it, neither will I shun it, but I think it would do me no harm, though it be not good to stir when one is quiet. This day, if the Lords say nothing, I will think all is passed. I have sent you a copy of my lord of Salis- bury's letter. I will deliver the original to himself again." Many thanks for your kindness in this business. 1 p. Eabl of Salisbury to the King. [1605, July 21.J — " May it please your Majesty. This bearer, your Dean of your Majesty's chapel, hath told me that your Majesty hath given him gracious hearing, which is no news to me to be done to him, that see it every day in others. For the men that accuse him for anything to be spoken to themselves, Gilby only hath been heard, whose charge comes so near his own ingenious declaration of words uttered only by way of supposition (which, so spoken, are so free from blame) as I must presume to tell your Majesty, in my poor judgment, that your Majesty's former prejudice against belief of any so great fraud or ingratitude in his disposition, joined to their dry* accusation ought to resolve you rather to remain satisfied towards your servant than to please the pack of carping spirits by making him the subject of further discourse. Thus much I am bold to deliver your Majesty of my poor opinion, because the Dean desires me to write somewhat to your Majesty, and as I am bold to speak thereof to you, so could I not have done my duty to conceal from him how constant and how judicial a master he serveth, of which mine own heart is best witness in his absence, and I must truly say that I think malice the author and humour the piecing it .up in another sense than he meant anything so uttered.

But the other parties refusing this motion, and the matter still depend- ing, your subject was prosecuted at common law, whereon the Lord Chancellor granted an injunction in Chancery to stay pro- ceedings, in spite of which the cause has so far been proceeded with at common law that your subject has been dispossesssed of some part of the tenements and is still being prosecuted against him, wherefore he prays your Majesty to stay proceedings until the Lord Chancellor and Lord Treasurer shall have determined the cause or certified the state of the same.

[16] 78-9, Feb. 9. , Bel [voir] . — Sending a box received from Mr. Pack, who tells him that the Lord Chief Baron is sure that Lord Montague may without prejudice seal both deed and receipt, the which he therefore begs his Lordship to do, unless any inconvenience will accrue to him thereby. Also sending his good wishes for the election of his cousin to Parliament. 1 ^j. Thomas Caeew to the Duke op Albemarle. 1678 [-9], March 5. Early.— I feel it my duty to relate the disorders attending the election of members for Exeter. For two years past, Mr. Wm. Glyde, J.P., has made it his labour per fas aut nefas to be elected, and when Mayor, entered into correspondence with the fanatic party in the city, allowing fifteen or sixteen Nonconformist ministers to resort thither and preach in their seditious conventicles without control, where ever since they have continued "poisoning and depraving the peojple's loyalty and obedience to the government both of Church and State." Upon the dissolution of Parliament, he has insinuated to the common- alty that the Chamber has encroached upon their rights and privileges, and that he is the person who would restore their rights and also take off the Chimney Acts. The Wednesday before the election, the Mayor and myself were prevailed upon by the loyal party to stand. This startled the faction, and "made all the fanatics as one man join for Glyde's election, as if their cause lay at stake upon the success of this matter." They raised reports that the Mayor and I were Papists, and the inferior sort, who had no voices, were " by money and otherwise invited to be at the election to increase their number and cause disorder." At the publishing of the writ, the noise was so great that the undersheriff could not be heard in the Hall. " At last it was thought fit to draw out into the church yard, and there it was agreed that a a fair poll should be taken by twenties of each side, and that the Hall where the poll was to be taken should be cleared, and that each party should be called as their turn came." But at our return, numbers of Mr. Glyde's voices got into the Hall and insisted on being polled, and many of our voices outside the Hall were threatened and beaten by Glyde's rabble, who cried out, "Down with the Church, down with the Chamber, and that none but rogues would give their voices for the Mayor and Eecorder." 175 The poll continued till night, when the Sheriff adjourned till next morning. " Glyde gets on the table, among the clerks that took the poll, seizes some of the poll books, kicks the Mayor in the shins and assaults the Sheriff, and much doubt there was least murder might be committed. The Mayor and Sheriff go out of the Hall, Glyde goes into a house adjoining to the Hall, puts his head out at window, and there thanks the rabble rout for standing by him, desires that they would meet him again the next morning and tells them that he would save the city from ruin. His rabble threaten to burn me, run up and down the city, being well heated with drinks, threaten they would fight it out and they would pluck down the Hall if Glyde were not returned." The next morning, the disorder being greater than before, the Sheriff adjourned the Court till Saturday. Glyde's rabble run up and down the streets to the terror of the inhabitants, and are ready for any mischief, the factious Nonconformist ministers use all art and labour to stir up the people to faction and rebellion, and we know hot how to behave ourselves without your Grace's advice and directions. 2 jyp- SiK Thomas Morgan to Capt.

Jermin Street. — "Being bo highly elevated with your wine which you gave me, may in some measure plead my excuse for presuming to contend with you at a game I never saw before, and then paying not long after 500L, which was a sum far greater than I use to play for, I hope it may upon second thoughts be thought by you a sufficient acknowledgment of my folly— which I ought to pay for. These reasons, and my Lord Oxford's acquainting you how very prejudicial it stands with my fortune to pay more, I hope will satisfy your Grace." 1 p. Narrative of John Collins. [1682.] — Was employed during the late usurpation as clerk under the Treasurer of the Excise Office. At the restoration, drew up an account of the Excise for the King which was presented by Sir Eob. Murray, who. informed his Majesty that the writer "was formerly a clerk at Court, driven to his shifts, well affected to his Majesty's interest and had married one of the daughters of Mr. Austin, one of his Majesty's master cooks," whereupon the King directed Lord Treasurer Southampton to continue him in his employment. " The Excise Office in Bartholemew Lane being burnt down in 1666, another was imprudently taken in Bloomsbury, near the Lord Treasurer's house, who dying, the same was dissolved in June 1668, and all the officers turned out of their employments, the farmers of London offering to manage the same gratis, yet notwithstanding,, the King's charge was in- creased." After three years, some of the old officers got pensions equivalent to half their salaries, and amongst the rest Collins had a grant of 501. per annum, whereof three years are in arrear. Afterwards he was employed by the Commissioners for Accounts at Brook House, but " not liking their methods and urging things too far, as some of them thought, to the King's advantage, he became a sufferer thereby" and got less than he was promised, although the Commissioners spent 1,500Z. less than was allowed them by Parliament. The farmers of L-eland wished him to go as their chief accountant to Dublin, but the Commissioners would not let him leave them. He transcribed, but had no hand in drawing up, the long report of the Commissioners to the King about the accounts of the war, which his Majesty — not being well-pleased with it— committed to Sir Philip Warwick. He acquainted Sir Philip with the defects of it, who was so pleased that he asked Sir John Trevor, one of the Secretaries of State, to procure an appointment of 200Z. a year for Collins, but nothing was done. Knowing well the abuses in his Majesty's affairs, he could draw up a far better plan which would prevent them, as his method concerning the accounts of the Excise had done when in practice, "the like whereof was even desired by King Charles the First of blessed 723 m M 178 memory, in reference to the Tower accounts, in which great abuses were committed, namely that they should be kept as merchants do their books, and Commissioners were appointed to consider if it could be done, who (through ignorance) reported it impossible." In June 1670, he was employed as chief clerk in the Council of Plantations, under Mr. Slingsby as secre- tary, at 1501. a year, but it was so ill paid that in 1672, having a great family to maintain, he was forced to seek other employment. Whilst there, Lord St. John, Alderman Bence and others, who had taken the farm of the customs, " though as it proved they held not the same," nominated him as their chief accountant, but owing to the affairs of the Council he could not accept the post. " And of late, the Council of Trade and Plantations being annulled to save charges to his Majesty, the books and papers, which are many, are put into the hands of Sir Eobert Southwell " who has proposed to Collins to attend him two days a week, but no salary having been settled, he dare not give up his employment about merchants' accounts unless for a certain establishment. He believes he may with modesty affirm that he knows more about the accounts of the general trade of the nation than perchance any others, "and hath divers collections and all the printed books and papers about that affair that he could by any means, in above twenty years time obtain. And being a member of the Eoyal Society (though but a mean person), admitted as he believeth on opinion that he might be serviceable to the republic of literature, he hopes, if any public emolument befall him, he shall not frustrate the expectation of that honourable body."

The Aldermen, your Grace's humble servants, hope to attend you at their Artillery feast on Thursday next, [with lists of wines sent down to Newhall and Hill House.'] 1 p. 180 Thomas Monck to Majoe Hales. 1682, April 22. Exeter. — Complains that although he, Captain Lloyd and Captain Strowd have done their utmost in the enlisting of soldiers, yet so many desert that only about fourscore have been shipped from Star Cross. He attributes this to the malice of the Whigs, " who are very industrious in opposing all things that have his Majesty's character," and have spread a report that the men are to be carried tg Tangier. Begs that Lloyd may have orders to write from Holland to dispel " the false sugges- tions of these devilish people." The loyal party in the country are as kind as possible, but Lieut. Giles has only been able to recover nine or ten of the deserters, six of which he had an order " to shackle with irons, two and two, and so convoyed them on board, which the honest fellows that were aboard were extremely pleased to see." Is hoping for better success in the north of the county, and will send the rest of the recruits to the Phcmix frigate at Plymouth. Sends duty to his Grace, and requests that "the enclosed" may be seiit to Mr. Elsivier. 1 p. Nath. Vincent to [16] 82, April 27. Clare Hall.— " The Duke of Monmouth's speech, which you enquire after, was so very short that there have not been copies kept of it. There is an account of his installment, much more large and full than any thing we have had before recorded of that nature, which the Vice-Chancellor will bring with him to London, that my Lord Duke may have the perusal of it, on Tuesday come se'night. Out of this narrative, I have transcribed all that is extant of our last Chancellor's speech." I pray you tender my duty to his Grace our Chancellor elect and to her Grace our Lady Chancelloress, who some years ago did me the honour to accept my attendance when she viewed our University. 1 p. [Major] Ki. Bynns* to the Duke of Albbmaele. 1682, July 22. — " I have received your Grace's answer to mine, and this day [Lieut.-] Col. Griffin* goes to Windsor, where he will order Mr. Eodney's confinement, who is upon duty there. I hear that Mr. Rodney says he asked the Duke of Monmouth's pardon immediately upon what he did, and that he did not design any affront to his Grace, but to my Lord Herbert, who was with him, and that for his lordship's calling the Guards the Banditti; but how far that will excuse him, the Duke of Monmouth being in his own coach, though my Lord Herbert were with him, I take not upon me to determine. I sent Mr. Symms to the Duke of Monmouth to let him know what answer your Grace had given to my letter, which he received very kindly. * Of the King's own troop of Horse Guards, Duke of Albemarle, Colonel. 181 "I have not further to trouble your Grace, but as God save me 'tis a base world that a man cannot get a little venison for a longing lady, neither for love nor money." | p. Thomas Monck. 1682, July 29. — Apologising to his "superior officer" for having contended with him, owning that he was very drunk at the time, and praying for forgiveness without the matter being brought to a hearing, which would ruin him. f p. Phil. Parker to the Duke [of Albemablb] . 1682, August 2. — Has spoken to some of the Lords of the Treasury concerning the accusation which removes Denham. It is very necessary to keep him if possible, as "he will be a con- siderable servant to the King's interest if he be continued, or otherwise the most popular opposer of it, for he most absolutely sways all that any way incline to dissent." If he were removed from the town the danger would be less, but he means to turn merchant there. Hopes that the Bishop and Lord Hide will be at Council. Denham will wait upon his Grace at Windsor. 1 p. Jos, Deane to Christopher, Duke of Albemablb, at his lodgings, at Windsor. 1682, August 29. London. — Sends proposal in the name of John Thompson for farming several branches of his Majesty's revenue in Ireland, being the same formerly delivered to the Duke of Ormond, for which, if accepted by the King, he will offer security and covenants for performance. He leaves out quit rents, old crown rents and composition rents (they being already adfirmam, and not able to be made a penny more than they now stand in the King's books) and also the casual revenue, i.e. fines, penal- ties and forfeitures, which he does not think it fit for any subject to meddle with, "it being in effect to farm the King's mercy." The quit rents, &c. are valued at about 80,000Z. per annum and the casual revenue at about 10,000Z. which with the 200,000?. proposed by him for the other branches of the revenue, makes up 290,000?. per annum, being 60,000?. more than has been made heretofore. If the King wishes the victualling of Tangier, and eight or more ships of war out of Ireland, he will undertake that also at as easy rates as possible. 1^ pp. CuRWBN Eawlinson to the Duke of Albemarle. 1682, Sept. 21.— Thanks his Grace for appointing him bow- bearer of Bowland. Finds the forest well stocked with fallow deer, but of red deer only one stag and three females. The Duke of Monmouth has won the race at Wallesey, and rode himself, but very few Lancashire gentlemen paid any respect to him. Postscript. The town of Lancaster has been very kind since his appointment, and has lately • invited him "to a treat." 182 Thinks it would be taken as a great kindness if his Grace would give orders for the Mayor to have a buck in summer and a doe in winter, every year. 1^ pjp.

He is discharged from the Eng's play house, and if he goes to one of the others, they will give him what terms they please, but if they see that your Grace owns him, he will get better conditions. " Hea nided not goe from this, for hea wanttes nothing, for boath the nobellmen and the gentrye hes a kynese for him," and he has carried himself so honestly and civilly that he would never want if he stayed here.

Brussels.— Stating that the Ducde Havre is desirous of adding to his picture gallery the portraits of the greatest generals of Europe, amongst which the late Duke of Albemarle is one of the most famous, from having contributed to the restoration of the King, and begging his correspondent to persuade the present Duke to send a portrait of his father, a request which he makes with the more confidence, as he is assured " que Monsieur le Due d' Albemarle voudrat bien faire celuy-la a Monsieur le Due d' Havre qui a eu I'honneur de I'avoir chez luy ' a Havre apres I'affaire de Charleroy." French. 2 pp. William Chapman to the Duke of Albbmaelb. [16] 83, May 8. — Yesterday, Thoroton having faithfully pro- mised Col. Villiers ** and the rest of the officers that he would give up possession, delayed until the relief of the Queens came to the usual place. Your troop did not immediately draw out and Captain Chethamt sending to ask Capt. Nowelll whether he would be relieved or not, the latter answered that they would dismount as soon as ever they could get a few sacks of corn down, it being your Grace's command to see this done first. Upon this, a complaint was sent to Lord Feversham, whose coach was then at Whitehall gate, and who came over " in the greatest heat that ever I saw man in my life, enquiring what was the matter, and the reason that they did not dismount, and that he never saw the like in his life (as if they had been ready to cut one another's throats), and that he would immediately go and tell the King of it, and make a very great complaint, and withal commanded Captain Nowell immediately to march. Captain Nowell told him, since it was his Lordship's command, it should be obeyed, but that he had done nothing but what he had orders to do, upon which he went into his coach [and] drove away for Windsor in a very great passion." I asked some present to take notice of the time "and it was judged to be little more than half a quarter past three o'clock by the guard clock, and your Grace and every one knows they seldom dismount before half an hour past three, but generally four." I went to find Col. Villiers and we sent an express to Col. Ashton,* urging him if possible to get there before Lord • Lieut. -Colonels in the King's troop, t Or Chittam, Queen's troop. J King's troop. 184 Feversham, and give the King the first account. He has not yet returned. Sir Philip* sent for me to consult me about the liveries of the trumpets, which the Treasury are very stiff to have made by the King's tailor, if he will do it as cheap as another, so, for fear that if we contradicted it the men would get none, the livery was resolved on and Mr. Grime ordered to make it. Thoroton told Lord Feversham that this bustle was because he would not give Mr. Bowes 150Z. a year. I told his Lordship it was no such thing, upon which he said he did not understand it, "and that he would not have the gentlemen of his troop t to pay twelve pence when they could have it [sie] for nine-pence, and that no moneys should be drawn from them without his consent ; upon which I said there was nobody pretended to any such thing that I knew of, but that your Grace ordered room to be made for provision for your own troop, but he was in so great a heat that one could scarce answer him anything." My lady is in good health and prays for your Grace's safe return. Postscript. The messenger has just returned with a letter from Col. Ashton and these are the contents. 3 j;^. Underwritten : LiBUT.-CoL. Ed. Ashton to William Chapman. Just before I received your letter Lord Feversham told me the siibstance of it, and asked me to be present when he spoke to the King "to see that he icoidd not aggravate anything unreasonably, neither did he." Nobody is blamed and the King says matters are to stay as they are until the Duke of Albemarle returns. William Chapman to the Duke of Albemarle. [16] 83, May 12. — Lord Grey's house has been searched, and a great number of arms found. He was brought before a Committee of Council last night, and examined till ten o'clock, then giving bail for his appearance. Captain Street's ensign and son-in-law has accused his father-in-law of making false musters. It is thought they will both be cashiered. " Prince George of Denmark has leave to come over and is expected suddenly." I am getting information as to the management of the Purveyor's office since the King came in and hope to have it ready upon your Grace's return. 2 jyp. [Thos. Vivian] to the Duke of Albemaele. [16] 83, May 17. — Your letters to my lady Duchess, the Duchess of Newcastle, my lord of Bath, and Dr. Barwicke all received, delivered and sent away.

[16] 83, May 18. — A duel was fought near Chelsey this morning by Lieut.-Col. Cannon and Major Steward, the seconds being Capt. Cunningham, of the same regiment, and Captain Parker. All is well with Major Steward and Captain Parker, but "Cunningham is very ill wounded and had the ill luck to come from Holland but the day before. Cannon is in the same case, but not quite so bad. They are going to send Hobbs" to them." 1 p. Sir Couetenay Pole t to the Duke of Albemarle. 1683, May 21.

Edward Kigby to the Duke [of Albemarle]. 1688, July [7-] 17. Pasor [Passau ?].— I take the liberty of sending your Grace an account of affairs at this Court. Going for Vienna, and from thence meaning to join the army, we met the Emperor and Court at Linse [Lintz] , just arrived in great distraction, by reason that the Turks were close to Vienna with their whole army, but hoping that the town will be able to resist, it having in it eighteen thousand men and three years' provisions. The Duke of Lorraine is well posted nigh the town, but- the Emperor has removed his treasure, which is embarked on the river. On the third day, as Lord Lansdown X was about to leave for the army, news came that the Turks were advanced to the * Thos. Hobbs, surgeon to the King's troop. t Formerly high sheriff of co. Devon. Hia eldest daughter married Sir Coppleaton Bampfylde, t Son of the Earl of Bath. 186 walls of the town and that the Emperor's army had had to retire into the adjacent woods, giving the Turks the advantage of advancing and separating the horse and foot ; as also that twenty thousand Turks and Tartars were in pursuit of the treasure now upon the river. This alarum obliged the Court to go to Pasor where we arrived last night. It is said that the Emperor will go to Eatisbon and has sent to the Elector to meet him there. " The ' mobeley ' in England are not more alarmed at the noise of a Popish Plot than this Court is for fear of the Turks, and truly if the Turks advance as they do, they will undoubtedly ruin a great party of the Empire." The army seems to be as distracted as the Court, for one of their best old regiments, being commanded to keep a pass, ran away when the enemy advanced and left seven standards, and they have not thirty thousand effectual men in the army. " Undoubtedly Hungary is lost, if not Austria. My Lord Lansdown is resolved to follow the Court," but I mean to stay here until I can go to the army or am besieged. This town is indifferent strong. 3 "pp. [Thos. Vivian to the Duke of Albemarle.] [1683, September.] Tuesday. — Good news from Vienna. Those within the city have successfully countermined, and have bravely taken out three hundred barrels of powder laid by the Turks under the great bastion of the Emperor's palace. They have also burnt the faggots, &c. with which the Turks had filled up the trenches. The three bodies of the Turks are drawn into one, and a far greater body of the Christian army (the King, of Poland and others having come in and joined) were ready to give them battle about the 30th of August, the Turks being much dis- heartened and the Christians much heartened. It is believed that an account of the great action will be here on Friday night, if not before. 1 p. ElCHAED WlNWOOD to [LoED MoNTAGUB ?] . [Before 1684*] , Sunday night.

[Before 1684.]— This •12th of June Mr. Trumball and his son, Mr. Bridges, dined with me and brought me the good news of your health. I know you have heard that my lady Northumber- land has got over the accident to her arm by the pricking of an artery, which is confirmed by a letter from Mrs. Bloomer. It pleases me much that you have taken young Dr. Wilde into your family, his father, my old and very good friend, being overjoyed that his son is so well placed and desiring me to say so to you. Postscnpt. "You are to blame that you do not come to see the bravery of Windsor. Nobody is right at Court that does not do so. This day the Duchess of Richmond and my lady Cavendish dine here in order to it." 2 pp. The Duke of Albemarle to the King. [1684 ?

IsEAELL Feilding to the Duke of Albemarle. 1683-4,_ February 10. Dublin Castle. — I have made daily inquiries into the value of your fortune here, but cannot amend the leases until they are out. "I never saw better penni worths than the tenants now enjoy. ... I did my earnest endeavour to have saved Mr. Burneston from ruin, in duty and service to your Grace, but it seems he was that way bent, first marrying, then parting with his support. Now I am necessitated to tell your Grace how sorrowful I am for the occasion I have to let you know your law affair with Sir Lawrence Esmond is like Sciciphus' stone', rolled down from the pitch of the hill whither your labour and money had got it, for yesterday, upon a hearing in the Chequer Chamber, before the Lord Chancellor, Lord Chief Justice Davys of the King's Bench and Lord Chief Justice Keating of the Common Pleas, the middle gentleman had a long learned argument, whereby the former judgments were reversed, and your Grace wholly reduced to begin again I suppose as your Grace thinks England the better country for living in, you will likewise have the same opinion of their Courts of Justice, and hereafter draw all your contentions in law to your own side." Captain Shaw was very bold, and told the Chief Justice that what he pro- nounced was contrary to law and justice, for which he would have been laid by the heels but that the Lord Chancellor said they would pardon his zeal for his master. 3 pp. * See Memoirs of Sir John Beresby, ed ; Oartwright, p. 295. 188 The King to the Duke of Albemaele, K.C.G. 1684, April 3.

Letters from Holland say that the States General have told the deputies of Frizeland and Groningen, sent to demand the recall of their troops from Flanders, that they are too much concerned in the preservation of those countries to recall the troops, and that the Prince of Orange intended to depart as on Monday last for Brabant. Mr. Brome Whorewood, who was to have been tried for seditious words, is dead.

Two young gentlemen, Mr. Seaman and Mr. Thorowgood, informed Alder- man Hinmarsh thereof, the nearest justice of the Peace, who would not go to suppress it, saying he would send his maid to look for a constable, but neither "the justice or his maid or any constable went to disturb them," On the oaths of the two gentlemen, I convicted the only two persons whose names they 189 could remember, and they have paid their fines, but I cannot learn certainly the name of the preacher, though I hear that it is one Mr. Legg, who lives in Suffolk, about ten miles from Colchester. The conventicles are as frequent and numerous as ever. I doubt not that your Grace will take care that for the future such unlawful assemblies receive no countenance here. 1 |j.

On calling the list, I found fifteen absent of whom no good account could be given, so I have ordered them all to the Marshal until I know 190 your pleasure.

Moreover, such is my severe fortune that the subsistence money I have will not allow me both food and raiment. I was a domestic once under your Grace's roof. If you please to bestow on me at this time a livery for my old master's sake of blessed memory, I shall think myself a person of some fashion, and sooner forget my name than my engage- ments to your Grace's favours, which, so multiplied, would engage the ungrateful to an acknowledgment. I must confess your love hath been still more manifested by the effects of your goodness than [by] any desert of nine, but my pen must not run in such a complimental strain least I gain the reputation of a fine-tongued courtier and lose that of honest Will Finet. .... I hope your Grace may dispense for two hours' space with the service of either honest Mr. Chapman or Mr. Fountaine, that I may drench my long beard with two bumpers of claret to both your Graces' healths and make his face cheerful who with the muddy ale of Southwark is much put out of countenance." 2 pp. Phil.

Lord Dover's* regiment is to be turned into a fourth troop of guards, and some say he is to be secretary for miUtary affairs, as Lovoy [Louvois] is for French ones. The meeting of the Scotch Parliament is put off and Lord Murray is Lord Commissioner. The Treasury there is to be in commission, as being too big for one person. " I hear my Lord Moulgrave is married and that Northumberland already repents his " (sic) A The Court is removing to St. James' and thence to Windsor. All the forces are to be on Houndsloe Heath before the last of April. The French King is rather worse than better. " He will not endure to hear of lancing, and without that his cure will be tedious and difficult." The Dutch Commissioners are gone without anything done for the satisfaction of our East India Company. If I can serve your Grace, I beg you to command me. Ip. Jo. CoPLESTON to the Duke of Albemarle. 1686, April 10. Old Palace, Westminster. — It has been confidently said that the King meant to be with your Grace at New Hall for three or four days this week. " Some said it was only to hunt, but the Polls shook their heads and seemed to apprehend great things." The Earl of Anglesey died on Tuesday, of a kind of quinsy. He told Dr. Sharpe that he ever was of the Church of England, and would die so, and said he was willing to receive the Sacrament but could not swallow. He has left his lady executrix " and pretended a debt due from the King of 30,000^., viz. : 3000?. per annum for ten years, payable out of the inheritable part of the Excise, for surrendering his Vice- Treasurership of Ireland to Sir George Carterett. Duke Hamilton and the other Commissioners came on Tuesday, and some say the King will come over to their proposals. They return next week, although Hamilton says he is not well and desires to go to the Bath. " Our two Dukes of Grafton and Northumberland are returned from Flanders, where they have left the new Duchess in a nunnery. They say she was willing to stay and will try the good nature of her Lord, and her friends here are willing she should do so." A poor woman at Honiton presented a petition against an ensign for plundering her, pretending her husband was a rebel. The Lord Chief Justice sent for the ensign, and on his refusal to come sent him to Exeter gaol. " This caused some passion there, among the Scotch officers. The ensign was of Dunbarton's regiment. * Henry Jermyn, Baron Jermyn of Dover. t " The Duke of Northumberland hath lately married Capt, Lucye's widow, who was a poulterer's daughter ; since which she hath been carried beyond sea against her will." Memoirs 0/ tiir John Rereshy, ed, Cartwright, jij. 373. 193 " There is not a great kindness between the Lord Chancellor and Chief Justice for freeing those out of prison who were excepted as officersor reputed officers in Monmouth's army. The Chief Justice said they might be corporals or sergeants. He was sure they were so poor the Chancellor would not have gotten his fees for their pardon. The Chancellor bid his Lordship be advised how he studied popularity." Seal of arms, 2 pp. [Thos Vivian] to the Duke of Albemarle. 1686, April 10. — Tuesday last, Duke Hambleton, Sir Loc- keard [Sir George Lockhart] and Major General Dromond came from Scotland. The new Commissioners of the Navy are settled. The French will have out forty or fifty capital ships, and it is supposed may meet the Spaniards. The King went to-day to Hounslow to see the ground laid out for the camp, and dined in a bake-house, built at the end of the new soldiers' hospital on the Heath. "Mr. Shales, the Commissary for provisions, treated the King in some rooms of the bake-house which he designs for himself. If the King had gone Wednesday last, my Lord Bellasis had treated him at his house by Twittnam near the Heath. The King came home very well pleased. Lord Dartmouth ia coach with him and Lord Hunsdon in other of the King's coaches." It is thought that the King of Persia has joined the confederacy against the Turks, by means of the King of Poland. " The King of Poland (Persia?) is persuaded into the war by his rights to Babylon, which is kept from him. Colonel Stroude's regiment is given to Major Eaten, and Hastings to be major." Sir Thos. Stringer does not come to London till Wednesday or Thursday next. No talk of hunting for next week. Some ten or eleven companies of Lord Dumbarton's regiment are coming for Portsmouth and so to the camp. The rest are said to be landed in Scotland. Six companies of Col. Trelawny's regiment went into Plymouth last Tuesday. 1 J pp. Tho. Vivian to the Duke [of Albemarle]. 1686, April 13. — If possible, your Grace should come to town before May, (when the Court leaves it,) and make your own daily application to my Lord Treasurer, especially on Monday mornings, (Tuesday evenings being the constant time for the King to come to the Treasury), otherwise the business may have to wait until winter, when his Majesty returns. Sir Philip Howard is as ill as can be to live, and every hour for the last three or four days his death has been expected. Lord Anglesey, when dying, expressed himself a son of the Church of England. The Queen has been ill with swellings in her side. The doctors think there is no danger, and yet I believe cannot tell what it is. The Duchess is well at Newcastle House.

I pray God direct and help us, for we design uprightly and loyally, and I pray present our humble duty with this notice to his Grace, whom we pray God also to bless, and pray him, if he knows how conveniently, both to help and counsel us.

" The great and good news of her Majesty's being with child is continued hitherto as certain. I pray God send her a young prince." The Queen dowager is said to be very ill. There have not been many removes of officers or persons in high places, except in corporations, but the Duke of Berwick has been put in Lord Gainsborough's place as Governor of Portsmouth.

I have heard no news from the wreck, nor of Sir John Norborough's proceedings there, but it is feared that many of the small vessels have fallen into the hands of the Biscayers, the worst pirates in these seas, for they take all they can, confiscating the vessels and goods, and murdering the men, as I am told from the Leeward islands, whence I also hear that Lord Mordant, with three great Dutch men of war and two fire- ships, has gone to the wreck from St. Kitts, intending to have as good share as he can get, and saying that he will engage in battle with Sir John if hindered by him. There is said to be a new wreck of great value discovered on the coast of Florida. I hear that two ships from Holland, laden with planters, servants, and all necessaries for planting, have arrived at Tobago, intending to settle that part of the island formerly settled by the Dutch but afterwards destroyed by the French, who oppose the new settle- ment and are sending two men of war and a fireship from Martinique to beat off the Dutch. When your Grace was here, you promised to represent to the King the poor and decayed condition of this once flourishing and ever loyal island, and to support our petitions to be eased of the ruinous burden of the additional duty on sugar, to which end I presume to trouble your Grace with the enclosed papers, showing the expense and hazards attending the making of sugar, and also a fresh petition to his Majesty from the Council and Assembly here, praying you to use your powerful influence on our behalf. We are all here hoping to hear of your Grace and my lady Duchess' safe arrival in Jamaica. ^ pp-, very closely written. News Letter. 1689, June 15. London. — " One Mr. Vernon having left Dublin the 8th instant, gives an account that King James was. extremely busy in marshalling his army, and that the Parliament continues to sit but had made little progress, they being upon the bill for disposing absentees' estate. Two days before he came. King James received an express from the French King, but the subject was not known, but the Council was called and the next day a considerable detachment of the army was made, and the King declared he would besiege Londonderry with twenty-five thousand men and Inniskellin with fifteen thousand, and hazard the loss of his men but he would take it. The said gentleman confirms that the Irish army has had several shameful repulses before that city, and the papists them- selves own three thousand soldiers to be killed before it and between thirty and forty officers, and that they were very much concerned of the advice of Col. Kirk's coming forward to London- derry, and the King publicly declared that he would be willing to have ten thousand men less in his army than the single person of Duke Scomburgh [Schonberg] to come against him, having that experience of his valour and conduct. About forty protestant gentlemen have been lately seized upon pretence of plotting against the Government. 201 Serjeant Ingolsby was summoned before the House of Peers, and demanded that being a papist, why he remained in town. He answered he had perused the Act and found that he came under the exceptions as being a housekeeper, and vns dis- charged." • Magazines have been set up at Bristol, Liverpool, Mynehead and Chester, with stores for the army in Ireland. Twenty Dutch ships of war have joined the King's fleet at Spithead and will speedily put to sea. The Earl of Torington has treated Vice- Admiral Almond and the other Dutch commanders on board his ship. Paris letters say that the King has sent letters to Brest with- holding his fleet from going to Ireland, since the English and Dutch ships might meet with them, and has given secret orders to the Admiral to proceed upon some other design. He has sent severalleading men to the Bastile " especially those of the new converts, upon pretence of holding correspondence with some of his declared enemies, in order to make an insurrection in his kingdom. On the 20th the French King received an express that the King of Denmark acquitted {sic) his interest and taken part with the confederates, upon which he summoned an extraordinary Council, where it was ordered that an express be returned with larger offers than heretofore, to persuade that King firm to his allegiance, otherwise threatens to denounce war upon him. In mean time the Danish ambassador at Paris has orders not to stir from Court till further order. " This day's votes. A report was made about Mrs. Pitz Harris was instrumental to prevent a plot [against] the Lord Shaftesbury and other protestants. A motion was made that she be recom- mended to his Majesty for her pension to be received that was stayed in '81, which was ordered accordingly. Ordered that the bill of the presentations and advowsons of papists to the two Universities be read next Monday. The engrossed bill from the Lords to reverse the attainder of Mr. Cornish read and ordered a second reading. A bill to enable the Commissioners of the Admiralty to give the oaths and to commissionate officers except those of the trained bands read and ordered a second reading. A bill to enable the Irish clergy to hold English livings read and ordered a second reading. Ordered the Irish address be presented his Majesty but that no particular person be recommended.

She falls sick, is left with her aunt, where she is extremely melancholy, nor will she permit the abandoned spark to come up, though he begs it in the most passionate manner.
