In the firft Column each Knight-Companion hath hisown Name perfixt to thofe Perfons for whom he conde-feends his Vote, to the intent it may appear by whomthe Knights candidates are nominated, and thefe areRanked in three feveral Divilions.

The firft contains, The Degrees of Earls, Mar-quefles, Dukes, Princes, Kings and Emperors; yet ata Scrutiny taken Anno 24. Hen. VI. in a Chapter held atBrmford,Albro Fafquet d’almadea , (who immediately fol-lowing, is Stiled Comes Averentix) is by a miftake Rank-ed ; but in the fecond Divifion among the Barons,and twice among the Knights Votes of the Marquefs ofSuffolk, and Earl of Shrewsbury , but this Error perhapsowes its original for want of due knowledge,either of theLaw in the Statutes or his Degree, the latter of whichis the moft feafible to conjecture 5 for being a Stranger,his Title might not be fo generally divulged, nor is ittaken notice of in the Scrutiny it felf, tho’ in the annalsimmediately after it was rectified.

And to Ihew the probability of this Point,the Earls ofOxford, Devonshire, and. Arundel, (whofe degrees werefofficiently known) at a Scrutiny taken Anno zn-Hen. VI.are ranked in the fecond Divifion among the Barons,and Anno r Hen. VIII. the Earl of Darby is three Timesplaced, and again 13 Hen. VI. the Earl of Devonjhiretwice 5 but this happened not thro overfight or negleCi°f the Statutes, but becaufe at thefe Nominationswherein they are fo Ranked, the firft Divifion to whichthey appertained, happened to be fill’d up with thofeother higher Dignities belonging to the fame Clafs, viz.

Kings
