Befides thefe, were many perfons of diftin-flion, and no fmall number of Scotch and Irifli Noble?, with many Members vof their Parliaments, &c. INSTALLATION OF HIS HIGHNESS. THE Prote<£lor, with loud acclamation, was enthroned, being feated in the chair of ftate : on the left hand thereof ftood Lord Mayor Tichhorn and the Dutch Embajfador \ the French Kmbaffador and Robert Earl of Warwick on the right. Behind the ProtetSlor flood his foa Lord Richard Cromivell, Charles Lord Fleetwood^ Lieutenant-general of the Army, John Lord Cleypooly Majler of the Horfe to his Highttejs, and the Privy Council, of whom, as of the Nobility, the Earl of Man- chejler. Lord IVharton, and Lord Mulgrave, the reji being very much their inferiors : upon a lower dejcentjlood the Lord t^ifcount Lijle, Lords Montague and Whitlock, with drawn [words. The Heralds, in the name of his Highnefs and theCommon- ivealth, commanding filence ; then the Speaker (Sir Thomas Widdrington) [ I? ] Widdrlngton) in the name of the Parliament, prefented to his Highnefs Oliver Cromwell a rich and coftly robe of pur- ple velvet, lined with ermines ; a Bibk, ornamented with bofles and clafps, richlj gilt; a rich and coftly Sword; and a Scepter of mafly gold. At the delivery of thefe things, the Speaker made a fhort comment upon them, and on the cere-- monies thereof, which he addrefled to the Protedlor, dividing them into four parts, viz. Firft, The Robe of Purple ; thts is an emblem of Magijlracy, and imports Right eou/nefs and Jujlice. IVhen you have put on this vejlment, I may fay you are a Gown-man. This robe is of a mixt color, tojhe^v the mixture of Jujlice and Mercy. Indeed y a MagiJJrate mujl have two hands, pleftentem et ample£lentem, to cherifi and topunijh. Second, The Bible is a Book that contains the Holy Scrip- tures, in which you have the happinefs to be well verfed. This Book of Life confjls of two Tejlaments, the Old and New. The frjifhews Chriftum velatum ; thefecond, Chrlftum revelatum ; Chrijl vailed and revealed. It is a Book of Books, and doth con- tain both precepts and examples for good government. Third, Here is a Scepter, not unlike a faff, for you to be m faff to the weak and poor. It is of antient ufe in this kinde. It's faid in Scripture, that the * Scepter fhall not depart from Judah^ nor a law-giver from between his feet, until Shilo come, and unt* him fiall the gathering of the people be / / / It was of the like ufe in other kingdoms. Homer, the Greek poet, calls kings and princes Scepter-bearers. Fourth, Thelaf is a Sword, not a military but a civil Sword. It is a Sword rather of defence than offence ; not to defend your- felf only, but your People alfo. If I might prefume to fix a mottt * Genpfu, ch. xlix. ver. lo. D Upon r i8 ] upon this Sxvor^y as the valiant Lord Talbot had upon his, it Jhould be thus. Ego fum Domini Protedloris, ad protcgendumPo* pulum meum ; / am the Lord Protestor'' s, to proteSl my People. This' comment or fpeech being ended, the Speaker, Sir Thomas Widdringtoa, took the Bible, and gave the Proteftor Lis oath, which was as follows : " I, Oliver Cromwell, do this day, in the prefence of, *' and by the name of. Almighty God, promife and fwear, *' that, to the uttermoft of my power, I will uphold and *' maintain the true Reformed, Proteftant, Chriflian Re- *' ligion, in the purity thereof, as it is contained in the " Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Teflament, to " the uttermoft of my power and underftanding, and eii- ** courage the profeffion and profeflbrs of the fame ; and " that, to the utmoft of my power, I will endeavour, as *' chief Maglftrate of thefe three Nations, and the territories " thereunto belonging, the maintenance and prefervation " of the peace aiid fafety, and juft right and priviledges *' of the People thereof ; and fhall in all things, according "to ray beft knowledge and power, govern the People of *' thefe Nations according to law." After the adminiftratlon of the oath, Mr. Manton, who for this purpofe was appointed, made and delivered a prayer,, wherein he recommended the Protedlor, Parliament, Council, the Forces by Land and Sea, Government and People of the three Nations, to the proteftion of God. Wliich being ended, the Heralds, by loud found of trumpet, proclaimed his High-^ nefi OLIVER CROMWELL, Protector of En^gland, Scotland, and Ireland, and the Dominions and Territo- ries thereunto belonging ; commanding and requiring all per- fons to yield him due obedience. Then did the trumpets again 3 found. [ ^9 ] (bund, and the People with loud fliouts cried, ** Long live his »' Highnefs ! long live his Highnefs J long live his Highnefs I *' huzza, huzza, huzza I" Silence being commanded, and his Highnefs being refpeft- fully faluted ; he rofe from the chair of eftate, and defcend- ing, proceeded as follows, himfelf leading the way. The Protector; His train carried up by the Lord Sberard, IFarivick^s Nephew, and Lord Roberts his eldeft fon. After followed thofe who had before marched in the firft of the proceffion ; the Protedor and thefe returning in the fame pofture to the great gate or entrance of the hall, without which was a ftate coach ready to receive his Highnefs. The Protedor being now feated in his coach ; with him, fit- ting oppofite atone end, was Roberi'Earl of fVarwick, Lord Ri* chard Cromwell his fon, and Bulftrode Lord Whitlock, in one, and Philip Lord Vifcount Lijle and Lord Montague in the other boot, with fwords drawn, and the Lord Claypool^ Majler of the Horfe^ led a horfe of honour in rich caparifons to White- hall. The members, two and two, to the Parliament-houfej where they prorogued their fitting to the twentieth of January. At night were gfeat proclaimings of joy and gladnefs, both in London, Weftminfter, and the furrounding towns, villages, and hamlets. On this occafion, for his Highnefs and the Par- liament, were enfigns armorial of their power, which figns or tokens of honour were com.manded to be engraven and cut on feals for the fealing and (lamping all public writings. That for proclamations was after tiie manner following. On a |)rince-like Ihield, fafliioned as a royal breaft-plate, four flags D a borne [ ^o ] borne quarterly, viz. iu the firft and fourth, the Crofs of St.. George f the Patron of England, which is blazoned thus, Gules, a plain crofs Argeiit. 2d, The extended crofs, or Saltier, called the Crofs of St. Andrew, Patron of Scotland or North Bri- tain, blazoned Azure, a crofs Saltier Argent. 3d, The Harp of Ireland, called King David's Harp, blazoned Azure, a lyre- of gold with ftrings of filver. The fourth quarter as the firft above-mentioned : and over ali,. in fefs, on a Saxonfafnoned Jlneld of a knight, the paternal arms of his Highnefs Oliver; Cromwell, viz. Argent a lion rampant Sable. The whole timbred with a princely helmet of fteel, burniflied with gold and mantled Sable on each fide, treble lamberquin'd and lined^ with ermine. At top of this and helmet, a princely crown of gold, &c. on the top of which, the royal creft of Great Bri- tain, which is a Lion paffant guardant Or, crowned with an. imperial crown of gold. Supporters, ifl, a lion guardant and- imperially crowned, tb^ fupporter of England, Or. 2d, a dra- gon in profile, with wings raifed and indorfed Vert, purfied witli gold, for antient Britain or Wales. Motto, Pax qu^ritur: Bello, that is. Peace fought by War. Alt thefe enfigns of the Commonwealth were environed with a military belt of honour of crimfon velvet, ornamented and enriched with let- ters of gold, making this infcription, Olivarius Dei gra. Reipub. Anglic, Scotia, et Hiberni^, &c. Protector. The Union Shield of the Commonwealth were two (hields, con- joined or united, the firft bearing the Crofs of St. George for England, and the other bearing the Irifh Harp for Ireland ; thefe fhields were placed on a rundle, and the like fhields with thefe bearings was ftamped on the current coin of the Com- monwealth. Thft C ^M The great Seal of the Commonwealth was a large circle, having thereon the Protedor bare-headed, mounted on Mare- hack, attired in a (hort coat or jacket of mail, over which a military fafh, placed over his rlght-fhoulder and under his left- arm, tied behind ; pendant to his left-fide, a large and broad fword, his right-hand grafpuig the head of a truncheon, which he holds before him, one end refting on the pommel of the faddle, his left-hand holding the bridle. Behind, on the fpace on the finlfter fide, and near the top, a civic fhield with four quarters ; the firft and fourth, with the Crofs of St. George for England ; 2d, the Saltier or Crofs of St. Andrew for Scot- land ; and 3d, the Harp of King David for Ireland. On the margin of this fide the Seal thefe words, Olivarivs. Dei. Gra. Reip. Anglic. ScotijE.et Hiberni^.&c..Protector. On the other fide of the Broad Seal, the like arms as that for proclamations, as before defcribed, only with this difference, the mantling lamberquin'd with four doublings or folds : oa the margin of this fide, Magnvm. Sigillvm. Reipvb. Angli/e. Scotia, et Hiberni^. The whole of the above curious information was written and fully fet forth by one of my family, Edmund Preftwich, Efq. of the City of London, a perfon well known and re- fpefted in the learned world for his impartial writings, and among others, for a work thus entitled, '* HippoHtus, tranf- " lated out of Seneca, with Comments, by Edmund Prejl- " wich', together with divers other Poems of the fame Author's. " Verum pone moras, et ftudium lucri *' Nlgrorumque memor, dum licet, ignlum,. " Mifce flultitiam confiliis brevem *. *■ Hor. Odexii, ad Virgilinm^ line 25. J. Prestvvich, Editor. ** London,.

The eplftle dedicatory is addrefled " To the noble and moft •*' virtuous Lady Mrs. Ann Leedes," flgned, " Edmund Prefl- *' wich." The author, in one of his poems, concludes with the words following, bottom of page 135. ** What do her numbers then in print, you'll fay ? ** Why, faith, if they be good, 1 hope they may ; <' If not, Ihe is a witch, and you'll confefle, *« The law condemneth witches to the prejjc.^'' Among the many learned and refpe£lable perfonages that addrefled the author in verfe and profe, are the following, who feverally congratulate him. 1. Ja. Shirley, who thus begins, " To my noble friend Mr. *« Edmond Preflwich, upon his elegant Poems." 2. Char. Cotton, " To my worthy friend Mr. Edmund *' Prefl:wich, on his tranflating of Hippolitus." 3. Cromwell Stanhope, *' To his moft honoured and moft *' ingenious Friend Mr. Edmond Preftwlch, upon his happy *« Tranflation of Seneca; his Tragedy of Hippolitus." 4. Ric. Rogers, " To his much lov'd Friend Mr. Edmund ** Preftwich, on his Tranflation of Hippolitus ;" who writes thus: " Dearefl:, «' Miftruft not ; thy Hippolitus *' Will relifli much with God with its. •♦ And I'm afcertained, that this Nation *' Likes nothing hke to a Tranflation. " Ric. Rogers.'* 5. Edward [ 23 ] 5. Edward Williams, " To his honoured and ingenious «' Friend Mr. Edmund Preftwich, on his Tranflation of Hip- " pohtus." 6. Mat.

Thefe Poems, with others of his Works, entitled, " Select " Poems, by Ed. Preftwich," are depofited in the Britifh Mufeum, London, Plays marked M, vol. I. c, 8. Britifh. Mufeum^ This may be juftly fiiid of the Prote£lor, that although he might have been in his time *' au Hypocrite, Adulterer, *■* Whoremonger, Drunkard, Murderer, Ufurper, Tyrant;" yet in this I am alfo confident, that however unjuftly he might be faid to have come to the Crown, yet it cannot be faid he ever abufed it ; for, by his found judgement, great fpirit, gra- .titude, and magnanimity, he was beloved, feared, and obeyed, and made foreign nations know more of England's ftrength- than any of her Kings of the Stuart line. He was of an antient and honourable family, related and allied to feveral confiderable families ; and for pedigree, few could boaft of higher defcent, as will appear by that printed in p. I. and 2. which the writer has compiled from authentic, evidences. COHNETS.; [ 24 3 CORNETS, OR FLAGS AND PENNIONS, OF SUNDRV COMMAN- DERS OR CAPTAINS OF COMPANIES, &C.

In this battle, on the King's part, were more officers and gentlemen of quality flain than private men ; but that which would have clouded any victory, and made the lofs of others lefs fpoken of, was the death of Sir Bevil GranvUe. He was indeed an excellent perion, whofe a6livlty, intereft, and repu- tation, was the foundation of what had been done in Cora- wall ; and his temper and atfeciiion fo public, that no accident which happened could make any impreflion in him ; and his example kept others from taking any thing ill, or at leaft feeming to do io : in a word, a brighter courage and a gentler difpofition were never married together to make the moft chear- ful and innocent converfation.

The Editor cannot help obfervlng, that at the beginning of "thefe unhappy and uncivil wars, generally moft of the old families were divided among themfelves, whereby many a de- iigiiing flatterer made his fortune by the ruin of both Whig and Tory; as it is a fadt well known, that thofe of each fide who aded on pure principles were generally the fufferers. Thus many ancient heads of families were clapped on the back by fome U 2 great C h8 ] great fpendthrlft, or defigning villain, that had a fortune to raife, or had loft one. Little had the under-pullers genernlly to do in the quarrel, as they conftantly avoided any military employment, that thereby they fhould have leifure to enrich themfelves by the deftru£lion and ruin of their own and the oppofite .party ; witnefs the Catholic family of Temple *, wixh others of the fame ftamp, who enriched themfelves by the fall of others ; nay, even of that of their own party, whom they Teemed to efpoufe with zeal, though fecretly they feeked their overthrow to enrich themfelves. This is evident, as very few of the Prote£i:or*s family, or tliat of Fairfaxes^ but what were as great fufFerers as any of the royal party. Indeed, except in a few, the leaders feem to have been engaged by difgufl or ambition, or fome fmifter inducement. From the fe caufes the country was undone by the ravage aiie fide or both made : a-nd all this not fo much for refpeft to merit or title, as for pique and revenge, and a fondnefs to (hew their parts, and thereby raifc themfelves on the ruin of others.

MottOy DROIT ET AVANT. IN [ 170 ] IN this lift will be found the armorial bearings of feveral worthy fimilies, mofl: of them being of the true old Saxoii flock, but whom the envy and partiality of authors have co- vered with filence, thinking, through prejudice, that fucli families as were for the Commonwealth were of the vileft: of the people ; but in that opinion they are egregioufly miftaken,. as in the height of the Commonwealth were men of the firft confequence and family. It was the miftaken policy of the old families to divide ; the chief or elder branch fiding with the King, and the younger branches with the Commonwealth-.. From this caufe we find many of the fame name and family eu» gaged againft each other ; and Oliver *, knowing every man's connexions in the kinp-dom, availed himfelf of that advan- tage, and in fadl fet the father againft the fon, and the fon againft the fither, and fo in like manner the other relations,., until fiich time as he crufhed their greatnefs, and then made them flaves to his defigns and ambition. From thefe caufes the lovveft and moft defperate of the rabble were fure to be gainers ; for as it was the maxim of OliVeTr to reward valour and merit, fo thofe who had embarked in his caufe thought nothing too hard to ferve him. However, of this laft defcrip- tion of men, when they had rule and command in the State,, their own confequence only was confidered ; they were of all. Committees, and had command and rule in Parliament, ■* It is woithy of remark, that moft of the Cromwell family were Tories-; hut query, was not that done with a defign to be on a footing vvith thofe famihes whom his policy divided ? However, be that as it may, it is well known, that» by fuch a mitlaken policy, the whole family were involved in the general ruin of the old faipilies. . '. ',\ whereby [ 17; 3 whereby their arrogance and pride made them fo far forget the hand that had raifed them, that they began to provide for themfelves and famihes on the fpoil and ruin of both Whig and Tory. Thefe circumftances alone brought about the Reftoratlon. The reafon is obvious ; the old families finding themfelves deprived of all power, at laft faw the folly of fupporting their inferiors ; on which account they united : and thus the Commonwealth was diflblved, and Monarchy efta- blifiied on its ruins ! Z 2 C n^ 1 THE DEATH, FUNERAL ORDER, AND PROCESSION, OF HIS HIGHNESS THE MOST SERENE AND MOST ILLUSTRIOUS OLIVF.R CROMWELL, LATE LORD PROTECTOR OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, AND IRE- LAND, AND THE DOMINIONS AND TERRITORIES THEREUNTO; BELONGING. THE WHOLE OF THIS FAITHFULLY COPIED FROM THE MS. OF THE REV. JOHN PRESTWICH, FELLOW OF. ALL SOULS COLLEGE, OXFORD. HIS Highnefs firft illnefs was at Hampton-Court, where he fickened of a baftard tertian, of which he grew very ill, infomuch, that after a week's time his difeafe began to fhew very defperate fymptoms ; whereupon he was removed to Whitehall, Weftminfter, near London, where his Chaplains, and others of his family, kept private meetings and fadings for his recovery. Continuing in this condition, his Highnefs di-cd on Friday, the third of September, at three of the clock in the afternoon, in the year of our Lord one thoufand fix hundred and fifty-eight. His body, prefently after his expira- tion, was wafhed and laid out ; and being opened, was em- balmed and wrapped in a fere cloth fix double, and put into an inner flieet of lead, inclofed in an elegant coffin of the choiceft wood. Owing to the difeafe he died of, which by the bye ap- peared to be that of poifon*, his body, although thus bound lip * Befides my anceftor, there are divers others of opinion that he was poifoned, particularly VVhitlock, p. 674. b. •' Certain it is," fays Echard, there feemcd " fomethiriE; [ ^V:> J up and laid in the coffin, fwelled and burfted, from whence came fuch filth that raifed fuch a deadly and noifome ftink,. that it was found prudent to bury him immediately, which was done in as private a manner as poffible. For the folemni- zation of the funeral no lefs than the fum of fixty thoufand: pounds was allotted to defray the expence. The corpfe being thus quickly buried, by reafon of the great flench thereof, a rich coffin of ftate was, on the 26th of Sep- tember, about ten at night, privately removed from White- hall, in a mourning hearfe, attended by his domeftic fervants,. to Somerfet-houfe, in the Strand, where it remained in pri- vate for fome days, till all things were prepared for public view ; which being accompliffied, the effigy of his Highnefs was, with great flate and magnificence, expofed openly, mul- titudes daily crowding to fee this glorious but mournful fight,, which appeared in the order following. FUNERAL ORDER. Flrft. The firft room where the fpedators entered was wholly hung and covered with black; and at the upper end' of this room was placed a cloth and chair of ftate. In the like manner of the firft room were two others ;•. namely, the fecond and third, all having funeral efcutchcons " fomething prefer- natural as to his body ; for, beiog opened, in the animal parts, ♦' the veffels of the brain feemed to be over-charged ; in the vitals, the lungs a " little inflamed ; but in the natural, the fource of the diftemper appeared. The. " fpleen, though found to the eye, being within filled with matter like to the lees " of oil." For a full account of the nature and efFefts of poifon on the human body, vide a book by me, intituled, •' Preflwich's Diflertation on Mineral, Animal, " and Vegetable Poilbns.'.' verv [ 174 ] very thick upon the walls, and guards of partlzans were placed in each room for people to pafs through. The fourth room was completely hung with black velvet, the cieling being of the fame. Here lay the effigy of his High- nefs, with a large canopy of black velvet fringed, which hung over it. The effigy was of wax, fafhioned like the Protedlor, and placed lying upon its back ; was appareled in a rich and coftly fuit of velvet, robed in a little robe of purple velvet, laced with a rich gold lace, furred with ermine. Upon the kirtle was a large robe of purple velvet, laced and furred as the former, with firings and taflels of gold. The kirtle was girt with a rich embroidered belt, wherein was a fword richly gilt, and hatched with gold, which hung by the fide of this effigy. In the right-hand was a fcepter ; in the left, a globe. Upon his head was placed a purple velvet cap, furred with ermines fuitable to the robes. Behind the head was placed a rich chair of tiifued gold, whereon was placed an Imperial crown, which lay high, that the people might behold it. EFD OF STATE. The bed of ftate v/hereon he lay was covered with a large pall of black velvet, under which was a Holland fliett, borne UD by fix ftools covered with cloth of gold. About the bed was placed a complete luit of arms ; and at the feet of the effigy flood his crefl. This bed had fixed abovit it an afcent cf two fleps. A little fiom thence flood eight filver candleflicks, about five foot high, with white wax tapers flanding in them, of three foot long. All thele things were environed t\ith rails and balufleis, four Iquare, covered with velvet; at each corner whereof there was ereded an upright pillar, which bore [ ^75 ] bore on their tops lions and dragons, who held in their pa\v&. fireamers crowned. On both fides of the bed were fet up in- fockets four great ftandards of the Protedor's arms, with ban- ners and banrols in war, painted upon taffaty. About the bed- flood men in mourning, holding in their hands black wands, and' alfo ftanding bare-headed; and without the rails flood ethers, in like manner, whofe office it was to receive people in, and turn them out again. When this public wake or funeral had been kept for many w^eeks together, fo that all ftrangers, &c. had feen it fully, then did the following change take place, and the whole fcene become altered. The effigies being removed into another inner room, it was there fet up, placed \ipon an afcent, under a cloth of flate, being vefted as it was before lying; only now his purple velvet was changed for, a crown. In the fame manner (as formerly") were men waiting upon him bare- headed. In this- manner he continued until the twenty-third; of November, which day was appointed to carry him with all, folemnity to Weflminfter- Abbey. THE FUNERAL PROCESSION. This great funeral was performed with very great- majefly,, in this manner following. All things being in readinefs, the waxen effigies of the Protedlor*, with a crown on his head, cH fword by his fide, a globe and fceptre in his hands, was taken down from hisflandings, and laid in an open chariot, covered' all over with black velvet. The ftreets, from Somerfet-Houfe to Weftminfler-Abbey, were guarded by foldiers, placed with- out a railing, and clad in new red coats, with black; buttons, ■* This effigies was carved in WQpd, and after covered or eoamelhd \vith waij and that accordiag to nature. y with; I ^76 ] with their enfigns wrapped in Cyprus : thefe made a lane, to keep off fpeftators from crowding the procefiion.

He married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir James Bourchier, of , in the county of Eflex, Knight ; who bore for arms. Sable, three ounces or leopards, paflant and in pale Or, fpotted Sable ; which arms were confirmed or granted to the family Oftober 1610; and by her he had iffue two fons and four daughters, viz. I.

Having died before his wife, an Infcription to his memory was compofed by the reverend Mr, Hugh Peters (who was exe- cuted for the crime of being one of the Judges of Charles Stewart) ; which being a matter curious and worthy of note, I have thought fit here to infert it : " ^ternitati facrum terrenum quod habuit, fub hoc pulvere depofuit Henricuslretonus, idem feculorum prsefentium livor, futurufque poflerum Luftus.

To conclude, I (hall here obferve, with relation to con- quefls, ufurpations, voice of the people, and all kind of revo*- lutions and mutations of fovereigns, that, according to the- mod: approved civilians, a fubjeft as well as a flranger may acquire the fovereignty of a ftate, by virtue of the confent and free voice of the people, which, in my opinion, is the moft lawful way of acquiring, refulting from the law of nations, when, by the fuperiority of his power, he has fet hinifelf above the laws : for in fuch a cafe, for the fake of peace, the public fafety and good of the community at large, a conqueror, a ufurper, or one fet up by the voice of the people, ought to be acknowledged as a lawful and rightful Sovereign. It is tipon thefe noble maxims that the French, the mofl politic nation of Europe, do juflify the divers ufurpations that occur in the two firft races of their Kings ; and that we, as free Britons or Englifhmen, vindicate the glorious revolutions of our monarchy, which, under God, have freed us from flavery and arbitrary power.

Now fully and firft royally fet forth by me Sir John Prejlwich^ of Preftwich and Holme, in County Palatine of Lancafler, Baronet. Alfo an alphabetical Roll of the Names and Armorial Bearings of many of the prefent Nobility of thefe Kingdoms, toge- ther with feveral of the Gentry thereof; to which is added, fome few of France, America, &c^ HAVING in the laft concluded by giving my fentimentJ freely with refpeft to Conquers, Ufurpation, &c. &c. it may not in this be thought improper to fay fomething with regard to the Pohty, Civil State, or Government of Great Britain ; and fliew,. that thefe Kingdoms, however fwayed or governed by a King or Monarch, yet are they governed after the true Republican or Conftitutional Form, being compofed of Three Eftates, as Kings, Lords, and Commbns. From which caufe it cannot be denied, but that our Conftitution is purely Republi- can ; fince it appears, that the Civil State or Governm-ent of thefe Kingdoms is not a fimple Polity, that is, it is not a Monarchy^ Jrifirocracy, or Democracy, fiiigly confidered, but is rather a, compound of them all together: for though we have one ^ GhieS' I 230 } Chief Ruler or Supreme Governor, whom we call cur King^ yet he reigucth not by hh-nfelf, nor, as behig a good King, is ]ie abfolute ; but he rules and governs by, and in conjundion with, the great Council, or Commons, and Jljfctnbly of the Nobles, or Peers, of the Land, which our Saxon" Anceftors denominated the Jtirna ^amor, or Wife Meeting ; but now, and ever fince the Normans arrival, a Parliament ; a name fignificant of French- men's talkativenefs, from the French word Parler, to fpeak. This Aflembly, or Court, isof all others in our land the higheft and of greateft authority, as confifling of three Eftates, namely, the King as Head of the Church, with the Lords Spiritual, the Lords Temporal, and Commons : nor is even this augufl: Aflembly uniform or independent, for it confifts of two very different parts ; one of fhe higher Nobi- lity '(as is juft mentioned) both Temporal and Spiritual, called the Honfe of Lords, in which, on nil great occafions, the King as Chief prefides ; the other part is made up of the lower Nobility or Commonalty, the Knights, and BurgeflTes of Shires and Borough Towns, and are called the Houfe of Commons, or the Lower Houfe ; which laft is a'eturned, or ought to be, ivhbout bribery or corruption, by the majority of, and free voice of, the Clergy, Gentry, Freemen, and Freeholders of the La?id. This Lower Houfe is intirely dependent on the common People or Populace (being Freemen, &c.) ; for the Members thereof are chofen by them, to ad for them as their Reprefentatives for a fliort or fl:ated time ; and if during the Parliament they aft not according to the People s reqiief, and what they think con- ducive to the public good, they very wifely reje6l them, as unworthy of their dependence, at the next general Ele6lion of Members of Parliament, and chufe others, of whom they have a better opinion, and think will prove more faithful, wilc^. [ 231 ] wife, and worthy of the important trufl: committed tr> their charge-; namely, their Religion, Rights, Laws, and Liberties, which, being the very eflence and glory of the Con- Jftitution, fhould be carefully preferved by the King, who, as Protestor and Ruler of a Free People, (hould guard them from being reprefented by men of low degree, or thole bale- born, who, according to the judgement or opinion of the wife King, fpeaking of men of fuch eftate, ought not to fit in Council. Thefe are his words : " They fhall not be fought for in public '^' Council, nor fit high in the Congregation. They Ihall not " fit on the Judges feat, nor undeiftand the fentence of Judge- " ment : they cannot declare Juflice and Judgement, and they " fhall not be found where parables are fpoken ;" that is, They are not afked nor fought for in public Council, nor fet high ia the Congregation, nor are placed in the Judges feat, nor un- derfland they order of Juftice. They cannot declare matters according to the form of Law, nor are they meet tor hard parables, &c. In all wife Governments, refpe«£l has been had to thofe well-born ; and from this caufe the People of Ron>e were generally divided into three forts, as xkiTsXoi ISIcbiks, Novi, and Ignobiles ; which wife regulation, and the many and various honourable rewards they had for perfonal merit, was politically adapted to its feveral kinds, which opened a lar^s fource of conferring honours on, the deferving. // Tjas the equitable difpojltl of honours, and the wife regulations of prejerv- jng the old families. from falling to decay, inthat.illuftrious State nr Commomvealih, that fupported them therein, and drew the reve- rence and efeein of the Ignobilis or inferior- Part. It was this which fred their brave youth of ancient and noble defcent to gal~ lant emulations, and carried their conquejis throughout the then known world. The policy of this .wife State was to preferve 5 the. [ 232 ] the honour of their old Nobility ; and this was done to excite bravery and virtue in their defcendnnts. From this caufe and diftinftion of ancient defcent, Roire was founded for grandeur, and its laws and wife regulations had an admirable tendency to beftow it: for which reafon, in all the variations of her Go- vernment, whether Mojiarchy, Arjjlocracy, or Popular^ fhe conflantly engaged in the enterprifes which required virtue, honour, and conduit, to accomplilh, and always fucceeded. The Conftitution of the Roman Commonwealth, like ours at this day, as is before fhewn, confifting of three diftlnft Bo- dies ; for the Council reprefented the King^ the Senate the No^ bks, and the Tribunes the People. And this form of Govern- ment was the very fame which the ancient Philofophers, and among them Plato and Ariftitotle (whom Polybius imitates), judged to be the befl and mofL excel lent form in the known World, as being made up and conftituted of a mixture and iuft temperament of the three kinds of Government, viz. the Regal, Noble, and Popular. Which {orvn. oi z Commonwealth, Cicero (in his book De Republica) prefers to all others what- foever. The reafon is obvious, being, as I think, the moft conformable to the quality, ftate, or different degrees of men which the ancient Germans, confequently the Saxons our warlike progenitors, divided, as I find, into four orders or ranks, vi%.. the A'Selj' [Adels], or Nobles, among which the Ruler or Chief. Second, the pjiehn;^ or jcjulin^, that is. Freemen, Liberti, or thofe who had been manumitted, among whom were reckoned their children, called Libejirim, that is, fons of Freed-men ; and the fourth fort was fervants, called Cnapie [Knaves], from their fervile offices of doing their Lord's or Dane]' work. Agreeable to which our Conftitution, even at this day, may be compared, compofed of the like degrees or orders f [ ^33 3 orders in the Commonwealth, viz, the Khigj -with ivh'ich the Nobles, the Gentry or Freemen. The Mechanic, who having forced an Apprenticefliip, or feven years fervltude, thereaftet becometh a Freed- fervant, whofe Children by our laws arc denominated Freemen's Children, and as fuch enjoy particular f)rivileges even at this day ; and to thefe lall in order are La- bourers, who depend on all diftindlions alike for their wages or reward of their labour. The Athenians, in like manner, ^- vided their people into Nobility, Farmers, and Tradefmen, in which laft was included the Labourer. Li all wife Govern- ments there have been thefe diftindlions, without which, or fuch like orders of men, no body Politic or Commonwealth can exift : forafmuch, that in the various Kingdoms and States we find particular honours and privileges appropriated to thQ ancient Nobility and Gentry ; for it cannot be coiitradi£led, feeing that both the Greek and Roman Commonwealths in- dulged the Nobles with great privileges, and to diftinguidi them from the Ignoble. The Greeks, as emblems of their Nobility, wore the figure of a grafs-hopper, in their hair or head attire ; the Romans, a crefcent or half moon of gold, enriched with precious ftones, upon their fandals or fhoes ; and our Saxon Nobility were diftinguifhed with a mantle or cloth of Eflate, fringed or ornamented with a border of gold, en- riched with precious flones ; and on their head, when unco- vered, they wore a circlet of gold. When they went abroad, their head was attired with the Phrygian bonnet ; and in their right-hand, in token of their Nobility, they bore a lance or fpear. And fo tenacious were they of the honour of their family, that, like their neighbours the Germans, by the law it was death for any of them to marry but with thofe of their own rank. Cluverlus, a German writer of great note, fays, that this G g cuftom [ 234 ] cuftom wns much obferved in Germany in his own time, not altogether by virtue of any fuch law, but becaufe the Nobi- lity reckoned it was a difgrace for them to marry with thofe of a lower rank. And he further adds, that the Nobilitv wer« firfl: raifed to that dignity from their valour in war, which h« fiipports by the faying of Tacitus, " that they chofe their Kings from among their Nobility, and their Captains from among tfkir valiant Men r" therefore, he thinks, that when any of the common fort frgnalized their valour, fb as to be made Commanders, they were made Noble at the fame time. And he further adds, that in his time Princes conferred the order of Nobility upon People for money ; but they were fo much defpifed by the ancient families, that they fcorned to converfe with them. In all kinds of Governments, it is the duty of a Chief Ruler to obferve an impartial diftribution of rewards and puniilmients. Deferving perfons, as being contributors to the welfare of the State, fhould receive diftinguifhing fa- vours, and criminals and enemies of it great feverity inflidedon them ; for this reafon, which, in my opinion, is anfwerable to all others, that all good men, as Chriflians, think it their duty to, profecute an Atheifl: who bids defiance to Heaven ; for the love we owe our neighbour engages us to bear an averfiou to all crimes, and to endeavour their extindion. I-t was thefe maxims in Government made Solomon, our grand Mafter, the wifeft cf Rulers, fay, Clement td et Jufitid robot atur Thronus Regum\ that is, being tranflated, Jufticeand Mercy are the Supporters cf a Throne. Lijien to this, ye Kings of the earthy and do Jujice 1 And remember^ for here 1 Jliall declare, that It is an abjohite facl^ fotinded upon f acred and prophane Uijiory, that no Monarchy ^ be it ever Jo great in Poivcr, Circuit, Defence, and Multitude^ batb feldom extended much the limit of five hundred years ! As to [ 235 ] to our Government, erroneoufly called a Monarchy, It is evi- dent, that the State or Polity of Great Britain, &c. is a pure Commonwealth or Republic, compounded of the three Jimple Polities^ Monarchy, Artjlocracy., and Democracy, and may be called, as being governed by a King and Parliament, that Is, of Lords and Commons, a Monarchio-Anjiocratico-Democratical Government ; whereby it is evident, that, being united, they are better than either of them fingly or alone. And likeuntp this form of Government in ancient times we find the Council of the AmphiSlions was inflituted in Greece (which Suidas and others witnefs in their writings) by King Amphydlion, fon of Deucalion : and therein it was ordained, that at a certain ap- pointed time every year, Reprefentatives chofen out of the Twelve Commonwealths of Greece {hould meet at Thermopylae, and deliberate concerning all the weighty affairs of the King- dom and Commonwealth. For which reafon, Pliny calls this the Public Council of Gracia ; and Cicero, in like manner, de- nominates it the Common Council of Gracia, and fpeaks highly of this kind of Commonwealth, as being made up and confti- tuted of a mixture and juft temperament of the three kinds of Government, wz. Regal, Noble, and Popular ; that Is, King, Lords, and Commons. For fince a Kingly and Popular Go- vernment do in their natures differ widely from each other. It was necefTary to add a third and middle State, participating of both, viz, that of Princes or Nobility ; who, by reafon of the fplendour and antiquity of their families, approach, in fome degree, to the Regal dignity ; and yet, being fubje£ls, are upon that account on the fame footing and interefl with the Commons. And the like regulation we find in the Conftitu- tion of the German Empire, wherein the Emperor reprefents the Monarchical State, the Princes reprefent the Arijiocratical, G g 2 . and [ ^3^ 3 «nd the Deputies of the Cities the Democratical. Neither can any matter of moment appertaining to the whole German Republic be firm and ratified but what Is firft agreed upon in that great Con' vention of the three Eftates. Now of the excellency of this tem- perament in a Commonwealth, we have a moft remarkable commendation in Cicero, taken by him out of Plato's Books, De Republlcd, in the words following, viz. *' Ut in Jidibus *' (^^l^'O ^^ i'biis, atque cantu ipfo, ac vocibus, tenendus ejl ** quidatn coneentus ex diJiinSiis finis erudita ferre non pojftmt ; " ifque concenties ex di[}imillimarum vocutn moderatione concors •• tamen efficitury et congraens : fie ex/ummis^ et mediiSy et ififimis ** interjeSlis ordinibus, uffionis, maderatd rationc Civitasy conjenfiu " dHJimillimorum concinity et qtue harmoma a muficis dicilur in ** cantu, ea efi in Civitatt concordia : ar£tij}imum atque optimum *' in Repub. vinculum incoluniitatisy qua fine jufiiiid. nulla paSlo «« f/Te potefi:* In the Monarchy or Conftltutlon of Great Britain there is fuch a due balance of property, power, and dominion, that,, like the ancient Government of Sparta, it may be called an Empire of Laws, and not of Men ; being the mofl excellent Commonwealth or plan of limited Monarchy in the world. By our Conftltution the power of the King is greatly retrained ; which is fo far from diminifblng his honour, that it adds a glory to his Crown ; for while other Kings ace abfolute Mo- narchs over innumerable m^ultitudes of Slaves, the King of Great Britain, &c. has the diftiiiguifcd glory of governing a free People, the leaft and meanell: of whom is proteded by the Laws, which alio acknowledge the Monarch of Great Britain as fupreme Prince and Prleft of his People, the Fountain of all Honours, and from whom all dignities in Church and State are 'derived, and whofe Royiil Perfou, in all Spiritual and Tem- 3 poral.

The honour of this family name Amherft, from its being local, and as fuch, having de prefixed to it, may well be difcovered to be of the true ol4 Englifli, or Saxon, origin, and as fuch, without any other evidence (hke all our names of the like kind), as Stanley, of Stanley ; Walpole, of Walpole ; Stanhope, of Stanhope ; Preftwich, of Preftwich ; &c. &c. beareth record of great an- tiquity, as giving name to that divifion of land, of Amherjij Hemherji, Hemeherji, or Hamherji, in the parifli of Pepinbury, in the hundred, or lathe, of Aylesford, and county of Kent. The free county in the kingdom which acknowledges no fuch bafe tenure as that of Copyhold ! ! I As to the further antiquity of this family, 1 have thought fit to add a copy of zu ancient evi' dence without date, and bearing at the top the name of Wal- ter DE Hemheest, and thereafter thefe words : *« Per char- tam fuam fine dat' dedit 4 denar' et i obolum ann' redd' Ca- nonicis de Begeham quod Rag' de Hemeherjl.

To this ancient writing I found, pendant, an oval feal having imprefled thereon three files (as bars) triple pointed, which kind of armorial bearing in France were ancientlv diltindions of honourable perfons, iflued out of princelv fa- milies j rriilles ; \v'itnefs" tlie files on the mantles of the ilkirtrious houfes of Orleans, Arthouis, &c. Another proof of the ho- nour of the family of Amherft, is that of its being able to fhew its regifter, or genealogy; the want of which was of iuch account in this land of Britain, as well as in the moft early time, as is witnefled in holy writ, infomuch that they that could not fliew their feed, or genealogy, were deprived of enjoying the privileges of thofe that could, who were nobly defcended. Not to mention this, we may alfo find how dif- honourable it was to fuch as had no regifter, or genealogy, of their family, as is witnefled by Ezra, chap. ii. v, 62. Thefe fought their regifter among thofe that were reckoned by gene- aloo'y, but they were not found ; therefore were they, as pol- luted, put from the priefthood, &c. &c. The regifter, or genealogy, of this family will be found to mention, that John Amherft (i. e. de lat.), of Amherft, in the parilTi of Pepinbury, in the county of Kent, was living in the 22d year of the reign of Richard the llnd, anno 1399, and from whom, in lineal fucceftion, is defcended the prefent peer, whofc name to this country and kingdom will never be forgotten; his lordftiip being advanced to the peerage of Great Britain, in reward of his great and meritorious fervices to his country, after a fix years olorious fuccefsful war againft the French and Savages in North America, where his conduft, courage, and perfonal bravery, were fully exemplified at hoiajbrjurg^ Fort du ^ejni\ Niagara, Ttconderago, Crou-n Point, ^tehec, Fort Levi, IJle au Noix, Montreal, St. John's, Newfoundland, &c. &c. &c.

Although this family have been long feated in the kingdom of Scotland, yet it is not a little fingular that the firfl: of the name feemeth to be of Greek original, as is evinced by the country called Achaia, in Greece, not to mention that of feveral Greek names, having the like word in the beginning of them, as Achilles, &c. &c. However, be this as it may, it may not be improper for me further to add, tliat Achaius, 65th King of Scotland, had a fon, which he deno- minated after his own name, with the ufual termination of thofe days. Son, from whence the family of Achaison, fometime written Acheson, Aitcheison, and Achison, a furname eviJentty derived from parentage, thereby implying to be the fon of Achai, the word us being a Latin termina- lion. This branch of the family of Achefon, formerly of Gosford and Glencairn, in Scotland, have been feated in Ire- land fince the rtign of Charles the Firft, to which King, and his [ 27^ ] his fon Charles the Second, they performed great and com- mendable fervices, being faithful adherents to the royal caufc, giving fundry proofs of their zeal and attachment on every oc- cafion, where the honour and intereft of the Crown was con- cerned. As a further illuftration of this family, as being a matter of no fmall moment, which has occurred to me, namely, that of the armorial bearing of the German, or Imperial, black eagle with two heads*, difplayed, an arms bearing evidence of the following hiftorical event : viz, Achaius, King of Scot- land, being a peaceable and godly ruler, made a league with Charles the Great, Emperor of the Romans, and King of France (about anno 792); and in token thereof, the trefurc of lilies, which is at prefent borne in the arms of Scotland, was given by the Emperor Charlemain to Achaius, as a me- morial to pofterity, of an alliance ofFenfive and defenfive be- tween the two kingdoms ; and, as a pledge of brotherly love, to fignify that the French arms, or lilies, (hould defend and guard the Scotch arms, a lion of Scotland. And the faid Charlemain being then firft Emperor of the Weft, as well as King of Fiance, adorned the crown of Scotland with four lillies, and four crofles, the firft being as the fymbols of their peace and unity, and the latter as their faith in Chrift, and of the inviolable fidelity of the kingdom of Scotland.

The honour and antiquity of the family of Arnott of Ar- nott, is fully exemplified in being local, thereby agreeing with that ancient praiflice, common to the earliefl: ages, when great men called their 'lands after their own nam.s. In Scot- land, fiOm the aforementioned caofe, this is diftinguiflied in M m being [ 274 ] being called Arnott of that Ilk ; or, as we underflnnd this diflinction, Ainott of Arnott, a family not furpafTed, for ho- nour and antiquity, by any in the county of Fife, which Sir Robert Sibbald, in his Hiftory of the faid Shire, teftifies by the following : " Arnott lies high upon the north fide of " (Loch) Levin, on the fouth fide of the Bifliop's hill. The *' owner is a knight baronet, whofe anceflors of that name " have pofleffed thefe lands well nigh thefe fix hundred *» years." However, to me the name or family appear to be of far greater antiquity, and feemeth to have originated in Denmark and Norway, in which places we find mention made of the Lordfhip of Arnet and Aren Dale, &c. However, confining our evidences to Scotland, I find the following : " hi anno 1150, Arnoldus, or Arnotus, brother of Sir Peter " de Arnott, and William de Arnott, was Abbot of Kelfo; in " 1 1 60 he was made Bifhop of Saint Andrew's, and Legate a *' Latere from the Pope. He was the 1 7th Bifhop of Saint *< Andrew's, and founded the cathedral there, where he died *' in 1163." It is recorded in the chron'iclQ c&Wed Steff2rfiat a Bruii, that in anno 1240 King Alexander the lid fent Dun- can Earl of Fife embaflador to England, accompanied by two kijights of Fife, viz. Malcolm de Arnott, and John de Mel- ville. In a roll of the miUtary fervicfes for lands holden of the King in the 14th year of King Robert Bruce A. D. 1320, it is written, Terra Michaelis de Arnott debet unius miliits (one knight's fervice), by which it appears, that thofe lands were held of the King, in capites at that time. This Michael de Arnott married the fifter of Duncan Macduff, then Earl of Fife, the immediate defcendant from Quncan MacdufF, Thane of Fife, in the reign of King Macbeth, by whom he had David his fuccefTor. • This lady in her widowhood built the north [ 275 ] noith tower of the c.iftle of Arnott. After I find the faid Michael Ariiott, taking part with Edward BaHtl, vvas drowned at the fiege of Loch Levin Caftle in anno 1334. Alfo of this family was John Arnott, Laird of Arnott, killed at Bogie Bu'fhies in a deadly feud that had arifen between the Lairds of Eaft Wemyss and Balmuto. He married Mar- gery, daughter of Boswell (after wife to Sir ThonriSS Sib- bald), by whom (lie had one daughter, Elizabeth, married to George Douglas, 5th of that name, Earl of Angus, from whom defcended King James the Vlth of Scotland, and Ift of England. By the regifter of Dumferline it appears, that Sir Michael Arnott difpofed of his lands, called Clunie, to the Monks there, in the reign of Malcolm the IVth, of Scot- land. In anno 1459 John Arnott, Archdeacon of Glafgow, was Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal of Scotland. In the year 1530, when Lord William Howard was fent ambaffador from England, to negotiate an interview between King James the Vth, and his uncle King Henry the Vlllth, the Queen Mother challenged his Majefty to produce three landed gen- tlemen, and three yeomen, to contend in archery with fix of the ambaflador's retinue ; the prize to the vidlors was an hundred crowns and a tun of wine. Of thefe, on the part of Scotland, were David Arnott of Arnott, John Widderburn of Widderburn, and David Wemyfs of We- myfs, which were the landed gentlemen chofen by the King; they contended at Saint Andrew's, and though the Englifli- men acquitted themfelves as excellent and Ikiltul archers, yet the other party bore away the prize. Alfo of this family was Robert Arnott of Woodmiln, third fon of John Arnott of that Ilk, i.e. of Arnott, by Catharine Melville. He was Comptroller of Scotland, and Governor of Stirling Caftle.; M m 2 and I 2/6 ] and was flain on the 9th of September, 1513, at the fatal bat- tle of Flodden Field, along with his royal mafter, and the flower of the nobility and gentry of Scotland. Alfo by an evidence, dated December 31, 1558, the following : " Jacobus *' commendator Prioratus Sandlse Andreae difpones the church *♦ lands, called Chapel Kettle, to John Arnott and his heirs," declaring, that he and his progenitors had been poflelTors of thefe lands paft memory of man. The lordfhip, or eftate, called Ferney, which of old belonged to the family of Arnott, is now pofTeffed by Colonel Balfour, brother to Lord Bur- leigh, which family are paternally defcended from the Ar- notts, as appears by the following : " Margaret Balfour, of Bur- *' leigh, Baronefs of Burleigh, fucceeded her father in both his *' eftate and honours j and having married Robert Arnott, foil " of Sir Robert Arnott of Ferney, chamberlain of Fife, who *♦ thereupon changed his name to Balfour, and, in her right, «* became pofTefled of the lordlhip of Burleigh, and had a *' grant from the Crown confirming thefe honours to him, and «' his heirs," &c. He was a faithful friend to his Highnefs Oliver Lord Proteftor. He had ifllie who fucceeded to the title ; but the family having engaged in the rebellion of 1715, the peerage, &c. therefore hes under an attainder ! In Ro- bert Sibbald's lift of the heritors of the county of Fife, we find the following : *' Sir David Arnott of that Ilk, Baronet; " Arnott of VVoodmiln ; Arnott of Balcormo j Arnott of " Balcaithlie; and Arnott, of Chapel Kettle^" Of this ancient family was Sir John Arnott, Knight, Lord Provofl of Edin- burgh, and Thefaurer Depute cf Scotland, in anno 1604, wiiofe great eftates, in the counties of Edinburgh, Fife, Ber- wick, and Orkney, may be i'cen in the general regider of that kingdom. Sir Michael Arnott, the 29th Laird of Arnott, was [ 277 ] was created a Baronet of Scotland, or of Nova Scotia, by King Charles the Ift, by letters patent, bearing date July 27, 1629, " Haredihusfuis mafculis & ajjignatis quibufcunque." He • married Anna Brown, daughter of the Laird of Fardell, by whom he had iflue, whereof his youngeft fon, leaving Scot- land about the middle of the laft century, purchafed fome lands in the north of England, and having married, had a nu- merous iflue, whofc eldeft Ton, the Reverend and learned George Arnott, married and had iflue the firfl-mentioned in this account ; viz. Matthew Robert Arnott, Efq. M. P. at prefent unmarried. The eldeft fon of Sir Michael Arnott, Bart, was Sir Charles Arnott, Bart, who married Helen Read, heirefs of the fa- mily of PiTLETHiE ; by whom Sir David Arnott, who died immarried j on whofe death, the caftle and barony of Arnott which had continued fo many ages in the family in an unin- terrupted fuccefllon, went, by virtue of a mortgage, to Sir William Bruce, whofe family now enjoy it. N. B. The family of Arnott of Balcormo bore their arms differenced, thus : Argent, a chevron between two mul- lets in chief, pierced, of the field, and a crefcent in bafe, all Sable.
