In this laft Scheme, we find Prince Henry removed fromthe fecond on the Sovereign’s, to the fecond on the Prince’sfide, to make room for the King of Denmark. And th»’the Duke Chevereux, Anno 3 Charles I. was advanced fromthe third Stall on the Sovereign's fide, to the fecond onthe Prince’s fide, that became vacant by the Death of theDukg of Brmfmck. ; yet the Year after, upon the ad-miffion of Guftavus Adolf bus, King of Svoeden, he was re-moved two Scads lower, and the Prince Ele&or Palatineone.

We pafs on now from the removal and tranflation of aKnight-Subject, after he had been inftalled, co the alfign-ment of his Stall, at the Time of the Inftallation it felf;where it is worthy of Remark, That on the 14th of April,Anno 6 Elizabeth, in lieu of the ancient Law, which ap-pointed each eledt Knight to fucceed in the Stall of hisPredecefTor, a new one was introduced, being compofed,as was conceived, upon a more juft level than the former,and as far as was poflible.to exdnguifh all danger that mightarifefrom Emulation. The 'Words are : T hat all Knights,who for the future were admitted into the Society of the Order,fbould take and be inftalled in the loweft Stall, according tothe Courfe and Seniority of their Election, except only Stran-ger Kings and Princes.

Upon which it chanced, that when a Knight-SubjeReled was to be inftalled, all the Knights-Companions,between him and the vacant Stall, were removed higher,that the fpace might be fupplied : And if two or moreWere to be dnftalled together, they poffeffed the loweftStalls, according to the Seniority of their Election. Andthough the manner and order in removals, is become athing of courfe, and rendered familiap and eafy ; yet itcannot be effected, or the Atchievements, Banners, orPlates, difplaced, unlefs by a Warrant iffued from the'Sovereign, to juftify the Garter for fuch his removals ;which will plainly appear by the infercion of chefehckc-.ncs.
