(4.) `The arms and names of the noblemen of England as I saw them in my lord Treasorer's gallerie at Theobalds 22 ffebruary 1581, and according as they take their place in the Parliament house.'
(5.) `An account of the precedency of the nobility in several processions of Queen Elizabeth and King James.'
(6.) An account of the precedency of the nobility by Jasper Duke of Bedford.
From a note on the fly-leaf it would appear that the book was compiled by John Philipot, Somerset Herald (d. 1645), and that it came to Christ Church through William Kingsley. (See No. 3, above.) |
