TO The Right Honourable HENRY Lord HOWARD Earl of Arundel, etc. Heir apparent to the Illustrious Prince Henry Duke of Norfolk, etc. And Earl Martial of England, etc.  
My Lord,  
THe honour I have had (for some years passed) of being of your Lordship's acquaintance hath given me assurance of troubling your Greatness, at present, with a Dedication. But when your Lordship shall understand to whose sacred protection your illustrious name is called upon; and that no less than the dead Ashes of your noble Ancestors, humbly lay themselves ●● your Honour's feet (branched ●● their several Stems, and mixed with those of the Bloud-Royal o● England:) I am confident my invitation will want wings, and come too late, compared to your Lordship's fervent wishes and willing desires to embrace them: For that innate piety wherewith your excellent Progenitors have in all ages signalised themselves is more particularly eminent in you, as immediately deriving it from so great a stream of virtue as your renowned Father, the present Duke of Norfolk.  
Our Chronicles, our Histories, our Records are all full of the glorious Actions, and puissant Name of the Howards. The lofty Structures and Princely Fabrics dispersed here and there in this our Island of Great Britain silently speak the Magnificence of their Founders your Predecessors: And those who have had the opportunity of being abroad, and have passed through France, Flanders, Brabant, Germany, even to Rome itself, can want no occasion of beholding the pious footsteps of your Religio 〈…〉 ce●●ors, by those many marks o● 〈…〉 un●● and liberality they have left behind them. And as if Europe alone were too little to have so great a name confined within its borders, you have made a descent into Asia, from thence into Africa, and planted your fame in no less than three parts of the habitable World. To whom then,  
My Lord, could I more properly offer these my endeavours but to yourself, if for no other reason than that you inherit as well the virtues as the honours of such renowned Ancestors. But when I shall declare, That it was always my intentition to present your Lordship with the first fruits of these my poor labours ever since I had the honour of knowing your Lordship, by reason of that affable disposition and generous temper I constantly beheld in your great mind, I hope your Lordship will pardon my intrusion, and give me leave upon your own account to subscribe myself,  
My Lord, Your Lordship's most humble and most obedient Servant, Henry Keep.   

TO THE READER.  
OBserving (when I was taking 
The reason and occasion of this undertaking.  out the Inscriptions, Epitaphs, and Arms belonging to the Tombs and Funeral Monuments of this Church, for my particular satisfaction and delight) what a daily concourse of Gentlemen, and Ladies; as ●ell Forainers, as Natives, led by their ●●riosity, came to behold this so famous Mausolaeum, or place of Sepulchre and Repository of our Kings, Princes, and chief Nobility, with the Encomium's and praises that were continually bestowed thereon: ●et at the same time I could perceive a ●●nging kind of desire that some of the more judicious and Inquisitive had to be better ●nformed, than what this cursory sight, ●●d the imperfect relation of the Tomb●ewer had given, by their frequent inquiry after some Historical Narration or ●rinted account concerning this Church's Antiquities and Memories. But when they understood how among all the noted Churches of the neighbouring Nations round about her, she only had the misfortune in this particular to be least attempted; not without some show of discontent, and admiration at so great a neglect and carelessness of her inhabitants, They went away full of dissatisfaction and dislike. This consideration gave me the occasion of exposing these my Collections to the public, that (if possible) I might in so●e measure take off the Imputation and blame (not without reason) laid to our charge, by reviving again the almost dead remembrance of this Church's greatness and former

And if herein I have been any ways serviceable to my worthy Countrymen, and can oblige the Noble Stranger, I shall esteem my pains and labour so well bestowed, that I may be induced (according to the favourable reception this Essay shall meet with in the world) to travel further in the like kind hereafter.  
Omitting therefore all tedious harangues 
The memorable commendations of this Abbey.  and long discourses concerning this Church's reputation and renown, (as is usual on such subjects) by reason of my designed brevity in the whole, I shall only tell you that for Antiquity, Princely Endowments, large Privileges and Immunities, it always was, and still remains, inferior to none of the most illustrious Churches either at home or abroad: But in this is her principal glory, that all our Kings and Queens (at least from the days of EDWARD the Confessor) have honoured it with their Inaugurations or Coronations, and many of them made it the place of their burials and Sepulchers.  
The Method that I have proposed in 
The Method observed in this Work. 1. The History of the Churches original and continuance to this day.  this undertaking, is first to give you a concise and short Historical account of the Original, foundation, and continuance of this Church both in its Buildings and Government, with the several alterations and vicissitudes it hath met with for the sp●ce of fifteen hundred years or more. And although therein I may seem to differ from many others who have sprinkled th●ir greater Works with something concerning this Abbey, yet I have done it upon such grounds, and taken my evidence from such authentic Records and Testimonies, that I have little reason to doubt of the certainty or truth thereof.  
In the next place, (for that I could 
2. The description of the Tombs and Monuments therein.  not have the Fabric, with the Monuments therein so represented to your eye by their Icon's as I could wish; the charge and cost far exceeding a private undertaking) I have endeavoured, by giving you a lively description of each Tomb and Monument by words, to fix some Sentiments and delightful Ideas thereof in your mind.  
And lastly, I have added all the Epitaphs, 
3. The Epitaphs, Inscriptions, and Coats of Arms  Inscriptions, and Tables, as they are now remaining, by which such inanimate Creatures are wont to tell us why they are there posited, and for whom.  
In collecting these Epitaphs and Inscriptions 
The trouble in collecting the Epitaphs, etc.  (notwithstanding the gre●● care to preserve them to the contrary) I found many liable to the same sat with others elsewhere, either wholly worn away by the malevolence of time, or defaced by the injury they receive by negligent and heedless Passengers. To supply this defect I have taken the greatest pains imaginable, and I dare promise, there is no● a Tomb or Monument, either in the Church or Chapels, except some fe● Gravestones in the Area, but that I have given a satisfactory account to whom they belong. For those Inscriptions 
Though endeavoured by others, yet performed but in part.  which are more perfect, and visible, it may be said, I might have saved myself that trouble, seeing CAMDEN, STOWE, and WEAVER have done it already. Truly I should have been glad to have have found in any (or all) of them together that certainty that I might have relied thereon.  
CAMDEN, if that small Work be 
1. By William Camden in lib. intit. Reg. Regin. Nob. etc. in Eccl. B. Petri Westm. Edit. Lond. 1600. 1603. & 1606.  his, (which I much doubt) of the funeral Monuments of this Church (which was so acceptable that it was Printed no less than three times in five years) is the most to be commended of any I have yet seen, but it will not reach us in many things as well as point of time, the last Impression being in the year 1606.  
STOWE in his Survey of London 
2. By John Stowe in his Survey of London Edit. 1603. and continued by A. M. 1618. and by A. M. and H. D. to 1633.  and Westminster, and the continuators of him until the year 1633. have only set down what pleased themselves, or what they thought most remarkable, neglecting many other worthy a remembrance; and those they have given us, when the Inscriptions have been long, and in Latin (or any other Language than English, as there are some in Greek, and others in French) they have clipped them off in the midst, or wholly left them out.  
WEAVER, whose method would not 
3. By John Weaver in his ancient funeral Monuments of great Britain▪ &c Edit. Lond. 1631.  permit him to put forth any other than the Ancient Epitaphs and Inscriptions, hath rather in them trusted to the credit of those Books and Authors from whence he drew them, than gone to the trouble of searching whether any such were remaining when he wrote, or no; as ●s manifest by very many alleged by him, which had been torn, or worn away in the beginning of the Reign of Queen ELIZABETH.  
All these defects I have therefore supplied 
All their defects supplied.  by comparing the Inscriptions, mentioned by CAMDEN, STOWE, and WEAVER, and correcting them according to the originals remaining at this day, and have set them down as they are now in being; and what are not, will be seen in the description of any such speechless Monument. To this I have continued the Epitaphs from the years 1631. and 1633. (where STOWE and WEAVER left off to this present time) where (in the compass of little less than 
And above 120. Epitaphs added with their Coats of Arms, etc.  fifty years) have been produced mo●● than one hundred and twenty seve〈…〉 Inscriptions. And what as yet hath been undertaken by none, I have added Coats of Arms, with the Achievements of honour in Blazon of all those Kings, Princes, noblemans, and others, that have any such like adornments on their Tombs or Grave-stones. And I have set them down either with, or without colours, as I have found them, without any addition or alteration of my own, that what faults are committed, might not be imputed to me, but to the ignorance or carelessness of the Carver, Graver, or Painter. The same likewise may be said of the harsh English and bad Latin that is to be met with in many of the Epitaphs and Inscriptions, which would have been as unprofitable, as it were an endless labour every where to have rectified, and therefore 
The Author's short Apology for himself and Printer.  I have left them in their native simplicity, unless some faults of the Printer may have contributed to their alteration, for whom and for myself I shall make no farther Apology, or detain you any longer, but leave all to your candid ingenuity and acceptance.

MONUMENTA Westmonasteriensia, OR AN Historical Account OF THE Original, Increase, and present State OF St. PETER's, &c.  

§. 1. AMong particular Families 
The Introduction to the History of this Churches Original.  and Generations of Men, those Genealogies and descents have been esteemed the most Noble and Illustrious which carry with them the greatest certainty of their existence for many Ages. So sumptuous Buildings and Religious Structures are in nothing more valued and set by, or sooner invite the Eye of the curious Passenger to behold them, than when they bear an outward show and appearaece of venerable Age and reverend Antiquity: If therefore so great Honour and Renown be acquired by the real Antiquity of the first, and Respect by the seeming appearance of the last; I doubt not, That this Edifice of St. PETER's 
Eminent for her Antiquity.  or the Abbey Church of Westminster (which I have undertaken for my Province at this time) will want either; as being attended with all these inviting circumstances. For if we behold the Fabric as it now stands, nothing so entire in this our Nation can seem more Venerable and Antique, or if we dive into her Histories and Records, we shall find those who have asserted her Original to bear date almost with Christianity itself, and that the Apostle St. PETER was the first who Erected 
A Christian Chapel here in the time of the Apostle St. Peter.  a Christian Oratory or Chapel here: But upon what probable conjectures or humane certainties they have grounded this their Opinion, it is not my intention at present to discuss.  
§. 2. Let it therefore suffice that about the latter end of the Second Age, we want not Authorities of good Credit and Reputation, who tell us; That LUCIUS King of the Britan's, who 
A. D. 183. A Church built here by Lucius King of the Britan's.  ruled here by permission of the Romans, having relinquished his Pagan Superstition and Heathen Idolatry, and embraced the true Faith of CHRIST, sought as much as in him lay to Establish this his new Belief over all his Dominions, and as means conducing thereunto commanded, That the Heathen and Idolatrous Temples should be abolished, and in their rooms Christian and Religious Structures Erected, and that in this place where our Church of Westminster now stands, a Christian Oratory was Built by him and Dedicated to St. Peter. But when the Persecution under Dioclesian and Maximinian, the one in the East and the other in the West, grew so large and extensive that it stretched itself to the remotest parts of the Roman Empire, and coming into Britain, became so violent and resistless that every where the Christians were put to death with most unheard of Cruelties and exquisite Torments, the Women deflowered, the 
A. D. 313. Destroyed by Dioclesian and turned into a Temple of Apollo.  Churches subverted, and in their places Temples again Erected to the Gods of the Heathen. This Church built here by Lucius, after one hundred and thirty years, was immediately pulled down and turned into a profane Temple of Apollo, so that in the same place where God had been devoutly worshipped before in his own Church, Idolatrous abominations were afterwards performed, the place losing the memory of its former Christian Inhabitants became the head and principal seat where Pagans exercised their execrable Superstitions.  
§. 3. How long this Temple of Apollo 
The Temple of Apollo subverted.  continued, or by what means it came to be destroyed: whether decayed for want of those necessary reparations which are requisite towards the support of such Structures? or that it fell down, and was overturned as some think by an Earthquake? I cannot be certain: For we hear no more thereof for almost three hundred years, and then we find it utterly subverted altogether in its ruins, and the place so overgrown with Briars and Thorns, with the River of Thames flowing about it; That the Saxons who were now the Inhabitants, had given it a Name suitable to its new condition by calling it Thorney Island, or the Island of Thorns. Here it was and on those Ruins of Apollo's Temple that Segebert or Sebert King of 
A. D. 6 ●. On whose ruins another Christian Church was Erected by Sebert King of the East-Saxons, and Dedicated to St. Peter.  the East-Saxons, soon after his Conversion to Christianity and his being Baptised by the hands of Augustine the 'Mong, commanded another Noble Edifice and Christian Church should be Erected and Dedicated to the remembrance of its former Patron St. Peter. And that there might not be wanting a sufficient number of Religious Persons continually to attend the Celebration of the Holy Sacraments and Services of this Church: He was at the same time induced by the persuasion of Mellitus who was then Bishop of London, to Build an adjoining Covent, and liberally to endow it for their better support 
And a Monastery adjoined thereunto.  and maintenance: which from the situation thereof and in opposition to another that was placed on the East side of the City of London took the name of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉, that is, the West-Monastery or Minster, as it is called at this day. Of the famed Miracle and Story of the wonderful Consecration of this Church at that time by St. Peter himself who list to read, may find it writ by AELRED Abbot of Rivauloe, in the Life of EDWARD the Confessor, as likewise in BARONIUS and ALFORDUS in their Ecclesiastical Annals, Bishop USHER in his rise and original of the Churches of Great Britain, with others.  
§. 4. This Church and Monastery, 
A. D 959. Almost ruined by the Danes, and the Monks slain, but repaired by King Edgar.  with many more, was cruelly harrased and destroyed by fire, with all the Monks therein slain some Ages after the first institution, by the outrage of the barbarous and inhuman Danes, and so continued desolate and forsaken until the days of King EDGAR, by whose care and bounty it was again new cased and re-edified, and by the vigilance of St. DUNSTAN, supplied with a small number of Monks of the Order of St. BENEDICT, setting over them for their chief Governor or Abbot, the Bishop WOLSINE, who by his exemplary holiness and piety got himself the renown of being placed in the Calendar for a Saint; he died and was buried here, saith Matthew of Westminster, about the year nine hundred fifty eight.  
§. 5. Afterwards, when King EDWARD 
A. D. 1045. The occasion of re-building this Church by King Edward the Confessor.  the Confessor came from his exile out of Normandy, and calling to mind the vows and promises he had then made to Almighty God in case of his restauration, grew much troubled, that having been some time in England, he had so long neglected to perform the same; wherefore he called an Assembly or Convocation both of his Clergy and Nobility, and related to them his intention of visiting the chief Pastor of the Church, and his going to Rome, according to the tenor of those Vows and Promises: But this resolution of his was diverted by the earnest entreaties, and persuasions of his Subjects, who having but newly recovered a little breath from their former grievances and oppressions, were fearful upon his so sudden departure that their peace might be disturbed, and themselves relapse again under their old burdens and vexations, so that laying before him (even with tears in their eyes, and hearts full of sorrow) the imminent danger the Commonwealth must inevitably fall into upon his removal or withdrawing, sought with all their endeavours that other measures might be taken, wherein himself might not be altogether disquieted for the non-performance of his Promises, nor they absolutely ruined by his absence. And therefore with all diligence Ambassadors were dispatched away to the Bishop of Rome, who having related the case, and procured a Breve from the Papacy for the dispensation with the said Vows, they returned again to their disconsolate Master, informing him of their success, and the imposition enjoined him in lieu of his Promise, viz. That all the expenses that he had prepared for his Journey should be distributed among the poor and indigent; and that he should build a new, or repair some old Monastery, to the honour of St. PETER.  
§. 6. This than was the occasion that our old ruined Abbey, (founded by King SEBERT, destroyed by the Danes, and re-edified by King EDGAR) now fallen into great decay, was thought on as a place most proper for such an undertaking; but much sooner was the performance thereof put in execution, and the design accomplished, when this pious King understood that it was the express will and command of St. PETER himself that he should do so. If you will believe those who report that WULFINUS (a man whose austerity of life and retirement from the world had gained him the reputation of being no small Prophet among his brethren) had orders in a vision to inform him. 
His great diligence and expense therein.  With all alacrity therefore he set himself to the work, commanding that his Estate, either in Gold, Silver, Jewels, or Possessions should be decimated, and appropriated to the pulling down the old ruined Church of King SEBERT, and the erecting a most stately Edifice in the place thereof. He removed the Parish Church of St. MARGARET'S (which then stood in the Cloisters of the old Abbey) and built another in the Churchyard,

For the greater honour of this new erected Fabric, in imitation of the glorious Emperor CONSTANTINE (as the learned SPELMAN observes) he called together an Assembly of all his chief Clergy and Nobility, that they

King of England, commanded the old Fabric of King EDWARD to be taken down, and out of the largeness of his Princely mind, began part of that work which is now standing, laying the first stone thereof in the year 1220. and as an addition thereunto built a particular Chapel at the East end, and dedicated it to the Virgin Mary. But such was his misfortune at this time, that having begun a work, so ample and large, that it exceeded the bounds and incomes of his revenue, he was forced to have recourse to means not altogether so honourable as he could have wished to finish the same. For by a wile or stratagem he procured money of the Citizens of London, with which, and by the help of the Monks, (who very much enlarged it towards the West) at length, after fifty years' time, and a wonderful charge, it was finished.

The King himself laid the first stone thereof, and forbade by his last Will and Testament that any but the Blood Royal should be interred therein, expending in the raising and finishing this curious Fabric the sum of ●1400 pounds only.

A description or survey of the Abbey Church of St. Peter's Westminster with the Monuments, Tombs, and Grave-stones therein as they are now standing, etc.  
§. 18. Having in the preceding 
The Survey of the Church both outside and inside.  discourse given you an information of the rise, progress, and continuance of this our famous Abbey in its buildings in its Buildings, Government, and names of her Governors in general; I shall now enter into the particular description thereof by observing what is most worthy our remembrance; and therein I care not if for once I play the Mystagogus myself, and lead my noble Traveller from one Tomb to another, from one monument to a second, and so to a third, until we have gone over them all, that his curiosity may not want a plenary satisfaction.  
§. 19 If then we intent to take a view of her outward shape and proportion, before we come to behold her beauteous entrails, we shall see it 
On the Southeast part.  best, and least confused on the North and Southeast parts thereof, as being less encumbered with private buildings, by which she seems in some places altogether hid and obscured. On the Southeast part you behold that curious Chapel of the Blessed Virgin, built 
King Hen. VII. Chappel.  by King HENRY VII. whose Battlements, Windows, Supports, and Adornments speak no less the Magnificence of the Founder than the Mastership of the Inventor, and skill of the Workmen; as being of that exact composure that nothing in the whole world of the same kind is said to exceed, if equal it. On the North part, you rather behold 
On the North side.  the Skeleton of a Church than any great comeliness in her appearance, being so shriveled and parched by the continual blasts of the Northern Winds, to which she stands exposed, as also the continual smokes of Sea-Coal which are of a coroding and fretting quality, which have added more furrows to her declining years, that little of her former beauty now remains. On this side is a most noble Door or Portal, with a Porch thereunto that opens into the cross of the Church, and on each side thereof two dat Porticoes one of which only serves at present for the convenience of entering therein. This Porch 
Solomon's Porch.  in former times hath been of great esteem and reputation, assuming to its self no less a name than that of the Porch of Solomon, that it hath been a curious, neat, and costly Porch in foregoing times, the remains thereof at this day do in some measure declare; for therein were placed the Statues of the twelve Apostles at full proportion, besides a multitude of lesser Saints and Martyrs to adorn it, with several intaglios, devices, and fret-works that helped to the beauty thereof: But that it came in any proportion to the stately, rich, and noble Porch of King Solomon is not to be imagined; nor can we think that those who christened and gave it that name were so ignorant or vain as so to believe, but as a thing excellent in those times, and far surpassing any of the same kind; it was looked upon as a piece of work well deserving no common name, and therefore had the title of Solomon's Porch appropriated thereunto.  
§. 20. But leaving the outward view of this ruinous building, let us 
The inside of the Church.  see whether her entrails (the inside) be altogether as decayed and forlorn: For though she seems by her outward shape and appearance to be clothed with the disconsolate veil of Widowhood, yet if we enter by the great West door, which leads you into the body thereof, you will behold her sound at heart, not adorned with the gaieties of a new made Bride, yet endowed with all the graces of a noble Matron, sufficient at once to attract the eyes and contemplations of the Ingenious to admire her, and frighten away the vanity of Idle Fools by her venerable countenance from despising her.  
§. 21. For the figure of this Church, 
The form thereof.  you will find it built in the form of a Cross, whose Vault and side Isles are supported by eight and forty Pillars of Grey Marble, each distant from the other eight foot, and from thence another row of lesser Pillars, double the number of the first, and of the same Marble to the upper Roof or Vault sixty foot. The Vault itself being supported by these Pillars, whose Arches turn not upon the Semicircle, (according to the Roman manner of Architecture practised in our days) but meet in acute Angles, in imitation of the Gothick way of building, and dividing themselves into several Squares, compose a most stately Roof, wrought with divers figured stands, and in some places curiously gilded with Gold. The length being 360 
The length, breadth, and height.  foot only to the Stairs of the Chapel of our Lady or HENRY VII. within the Walls. The breadth of the Nave 75 foot, of the Cross 195 from the Chapel of St. BENEDICT on the South to that of St. ERASMUS on the North 114 foot; from the Chapel of S. EDMUND to that of St. JOHN BAPTIST 126 foot; and from that of St. NICOLAS South to that of St. PAUL on the North 95, all being in your view as you enter the Church; and adding thereto the Chapel of the Blessed Virgin or King HENRY VII. which contains 122 foot in length, and 62 in breadth: The whole Fabric will be no less than 482 foot long within the Walls thereof, as I have measured it by a Line; a very noble and large Structure, almost equalling in length St. PETER'S in Rome, St. PETER in York, etc. and surpassing many famous Churches and Temples, as that of Solomon, only 60 Cubits long; the Temple of DIANA in Ephesus, 425 foot; and the great Mask at FEZ, long 150 Cubits.  
§. 22. There are in this Church no less than ten Chapels, (besides those 
The Chapels.  two of the Kings, or the Chapels of St. EDWARD, and the Blessed Virgin, and those of St. KATHERINE, and St. ANNE, of whose situation I am ignorant) viz. on the South four, those of St. BLAZE, St. BENEDICT, St. EDMUND, and St. NICOLAS; on the North six, those of St. ANDREW, St. MICHAEL, St. JOHN EVANGELIST, St. ERASMUS, St. JOHN BAPTIST, and St. PAUL, which serve to flank up this Church notably to its advantage and credit. On each side the body or Nave under every Window, and between each Pillar, you have the names in ancient English or Saxon Letters, and under them the Coats of Arms of the several Kings, Princes, and Noblemen, who flourished when HENRY III. re-edified this Church. On the South, (1.) S. Edwardus Rex & Confessor. B. a Cross Patonce between five Martlets Or. (2.) Henricus Tertius Rex Angliae. Gules. three Lions passant

§. 23. About fifty and five foot 
A place set apart for the celebration of divine Service.  from the great West Door in the midst of the body or Nave to the Screen that separates the high Altar from the Shrine of St. EDWARD, and the Chapel of the Kings, being near 152 foot in length, and 32 in breadth, is a place set apart for the Choir, with all decent conveniences for the celebration of divine Service, and preaching the Word of God; where (by the Pulpit) is a most comely Picture of 
The Picture Richard II. King of England.  one of our Kings sitting in the Ornaments and Chair of Coronations, which is said to be the Picture of RICHARD II. King of England; it is very beautiful to behold, and well done, considering the distance of years since it was made: And that it was designed for him is greatly confirmed by the report our Historians give of his incomparable beauty, and admirable features, and that his Picture, placed in the King's Collection at his Royal Palace of Hampton-Court, differs very little therefrom. Ascending from this Picture by two or three Greeses or steps, until you come to the Rails that compass in the High Altar, you there behold that noble and most glorious inlaid Floor still remaining entire, 
The inlaid Area by the Communion Table.  that was done by the command and charge of RICHARD de Ware, Abbot of Westminster, in the year 1260. where in most artificial Work and delightful Figures you have the Jasper, the Porphyry, the Lydian, the Touch, the Alabaster, and the Serpentine stones, so laid and wrought to the Spectators satisfaction that you are unwillingly drawn from the sight thereof; round the Squares and great Circles, in Letters of Brass, are some of the Verses still remaining, which when entire were thus to be read, concerning the duration of the World.

§. 24. On the North-side of this 
●ich. de Ware, Abbot of Westminster, and Lord Treasurer of England  Area was this Abbot buried, next to the Tomb of AIMERY de VALENCE Earl of Pembroke, after he had been Lord Treasurer of England, and Abbot of this Monastery twenty three years, he died on the Second of December 1283. but nothing now remains on his Grave-stone to distinguish it from the rest. Not far from 
Thomas Henly, and Richard Sudbury Abbots of West. minster. Sir Tho. Clifford. Anne Queen of England.  him was THOMAS HENLY Abbot of Westminster interred. And RICHARD SUDBURY, another Abbot of this Monastery, with Sir THOMAS CLIFFORD, Governor of Berwick, but all the Brass and Inscriptions are torn away. On the Southside was Queen ANNE, Wife to King RICHARD III. and Daughter to RICHARD NEVIL Earl of Warwick, interred, who died not without suspicion of Poison, anno 1484. By whom lies WALTER WENLOCK 
Walter Wenlock, Abbot of Westminster, and Lord Treasurer of England▪  Abbot of Westminster, and Lord Treasurer of England, who died at his Manor of Pireford in Gloucestershire, on the twenty fifth day of December, 1307. after he had governed this Church twenty six years, having a decent Marblestone plated, and laid over him by the South Door entering the Chapel of St. EDWARD, of which there is nothing continuing at this day, save a guess at the stones only. There are five noble Monuments still remaining, three on the North, and two on the South part of this Sacriste, but no Inscriptions or Epitaphs on any of them, nor are they visible but by withdrawing the Hangings, which are hung before them for the better adorning this place.  
§. 25. The first on the South is a 
Anne of cleve Queen of England.  Tomb of Freestone unfinished, with these two Letters insculpt thereof A. C. and this 1557. and a little Ballister or Rail thereto adjoining, which was designed to remember ANNE of Cleve, Queen of England, Sister to WILLIAM Duke of Cleve and Gulich, whom King HENRY VIII. repudiated when he took to Wife the Lady KATHERINE HOWARD; she died in the year 1557. and lieth buried here at the head of King SEBERT.  
§. 26. The next is an ancient Sepulchre 
Sebert King of the East-Saxons and his Queen. vide Epitaph. 139.  of stone, Arched, where in a leaden Chest enclosed in Touch, lie the remains of SEBERT King of the East-Saxons, and ETELGODA his Queen, who in the year 605 began the foundation of this Monastery, as I have declared elsewhere; he died on the last day of July in the year 616. and she the thirteenth of September 615. after they had finished this worthy design; and therefore in the year 1307 their bodies were removed by the Monks of this Abbey from the old Church, erected by King EDWARD the Confessor, and placed here hard by the Sepulchre of the Kings. The Canopy erected over this Tomb of eight panes of delicate carved Wainscot, contained as many painted Figures, of St. PETER, St. JOHN BAPTIST, King SEBERT, King EDWARD the Confessor, etc. with divers Verses of Questions and Answers under each of them, which are all defaced and washed away, and only a Table of Verses adjoining to the Tomb (which you will find among the Mounmental Inscriptions) is still remaining to inform you who it is that lies there deposited.  
§. 27. On the North side, next to the Chapel of St. EDWARD, in a most noble Monument of Freestone, canopied, painted, and adorned with Arms, and gilt with Gold, his Image thereon cross legged lies EDMUND 
〈…〉 Crouchback, Earl of Lancaster, Son of King Henry III.  CROUCHBACK, Earl of Lancaster, and younger Son of HENRY III. who was born at London on the sixteenth day of January, anno 1245. about eight years after he was invested by the Pope into the Dominion of Sicily, made Earl of Chester, and Lord High Steward of England during life, and after the death of his first Wife AVELINE went into the Holy Land, afterwards returning, he was by his Brother King EDWARD I. made Earl of Champagne; he founded the house of Nuns, called the Minoresses without Algate in the Suburbs of London, and going into France, he died at Bayon, from whence his body was brought, and honourably interred in this place, and this Monument erected to his memory. This great Earl, by BLANCH, his second Wife, Daughter to ROBERT Earl of Artois, (third Son to LEWIS VIII. King of France) Widow of HENRY King of Navarre, Earl of Champagne and Bry had Issue three Sons, THOMAS, HENRY, and JOHN, and a Daughter, who died with her Brother JOHN in France without Issue.  
§. 28. Next to this Tomb of EDMUND Earl of Lancaster is such another like Monument, very beautiful to behold, Canopied, and gilt with Gold, with an Image thereon for AYMER 
Aymer de Valence, Earl of Pembroke, Cousin to King Henry III.  de Valence, (third Son to WILLIAM Earl of Pembroke, who was Son of HUGH le BRUN Earl of March, in the Confines of France and Poitiers, by ISABEL his Wife, Widow of King JOHN, and sole Daughter to the Earl of Angolesme, who took his Surname from the place of his Nativity, and being Brother to HENRY III. by his Mother, in June 1247 was sent for into England, &c) who was a great Soldier in the Wars of Scotland, Flanders, France, etc. he was Guardian of the Marches of Scotland, Lieutenant and Captain General of all the Soldiers there, General of the King's Forces from the River of Trent Northwards unto Roxborough in Scotland: But going to Rome he was taken prisoner by JOHN MOILLEY a Burgundian, and sent to the Emperor, being obliged to pay 20000 pounds for his ransom. After which he was again in the Scotch Wars, and Governor of Rockingham castle, and at the taking of THOMAS Earl of Lancaster at Borough Brigge in the County of York, but being one of those who gave sentence of death upon him at Pomfrat, as he was attending Queen ISABEL into France, anno 1323. he was murdered on the twenty third of June the same year; his body being afterwards brought and buried here: He had three Wives, but had no Issue by any.

§. 29. At the head of AYMER de VALENCE is the third and last Monument on this North side, which is likewise a very beautiful Tomb of Alabaster and grey Marble, Canopied with curious worked stone, and gilt with Gold, her Image lying thereon at full proportion, for AVELINE 
Aveline Countess of Lancaster, Daughter in Law to King Hen. III.  Countess of Lancaster, first Wife of EDMUND CROUCHBACK Earl of Lancaster, and fourth Son of HENRY III (as is before said in the description of his Monument.) She was esteemed a Lady in her time far surpassing all others in beauty, and was the Daughter and Heir of WILLIAM de FORTIBUS Earl of Albemarle, she was Countess of Holderness, and by her Mother Countess of Devon and the Isle of Wight, leaving her Inheritance to the House of Lancaster, and her body to be buried in this place, dying in the year 1269. without any Issue.  
§. 30. The rest of the Monuments about this Church are very numerous and noble, Persons of the greatest dignity and honour being permitted by the Licence of the Prince only to be buried in the Chapels thereof, of whom we shall speak when we come to the particular places wherein they are deposited. In the mean time we will take a survey round the body of the Church; and beginning on the East-side of the North Cross, the first Monument we meet with will be that of the Lady MARY JAMES, Wife of Sir 
Marry James. vid. Epit. 3.  JOHN JAMES, and Daughter to Sir ROBERT KILLIGREW, Vice-chamberlain to Queen MARY, who died in the year 1677. being a neat Monument composed of a large Pedestal of black Marble, on which is the Epitaph, and an Urn of white, admirably polished, encompassed with an Iron Grate, garnished and adorned with Gold.

The Duke caused this Tomb to be made in his life-time, soon after the death of his Duchess, and being scarce finished, he died himself on the twenty fifth day of Decemb. in the year 1676. aged 84 years, and was buried here.

Edmund Spencer. vid. Ep. 28.

And now come we to the first and last best Poets of the English Nation Geffrey Chaucer, and Abraham Cowley, the one being the Sun just rising, and showing its self on the English Horizon, and so by degrees increasing and growing in strength till it came to its full Glory and Meridian in the incomparable Cowley, whose admirable Genius, hard to be imitated, but never equalled, hath set the bounds to succeeding times. Chaucer lies in an ancient 
Geffrey Chaucer. vid. Ep. 31.  Tomb, Canopied, of grey Marble, with his Picture painted thereon in plano, with some Verses by; he died in the year 1400. And Cowley hath

§. 40. And thus you have what Tombs and Monuments are to be found round about the Body, Alleys, and the Cross of this Church: We will now see what persons are deposited under the several Grave-stones that have any Inscriptions thereon. And first in the midst of the Body or Nave there lies Gilbert Thornburgh, (whose Tomb I

§. 44. In the South Cross, over-against Cowleys Tomb, are some remains of a man in Armour, with a broken Inscription round the Verge, engraven on Brass, whereby may be gathered that one Robert Haule lies 
Robert Haule. vid. Ep. 47.  there, who was murdered in this Church on the eleventh of August, Anno Dom. 1378. In the same Southern Cross lies John Osboldston Esquire, one

The Chapel of St. Blaze.  
§. 45. Having informed you of all the Tombs and Grave-stones (and to whose memory they were there posited,) that you meet with in any part of the body and side Isles of this so famous Church, we will now enter into the particular Chapels thereof, and beginning in the South Cross, where the Dial and Clock stands, and the place made use on at present as a Revestre, was formerly a Chapel dedicated to Saint Blaze, in which Chapel Nicolas L●●lington, Abbot of Westminster, 
Nic. Litlington, Abbot of Westminster. vid. §. 10.  whom I have mentioned before, was buried in the year 1386, after he had governed this Monastery twenty five years. And Edward a Monk of Westminster, who was Son of Owen Tuddor by Queen Katherine, the Widow of Henry V. and Daughter of Charles VI King of France; he was Brother to Edmund Earl of Richmond, and Uncle 
Edward Monk of Westminster, Uncle to Henry VII.  to King Henry VII. There is neither Inscription or Epitaph remaining to distinguish their Grave-stones from the rest. From hence going to the East-side of this Cross, and next to Cowleys Tomb is a little   

Chapel of St. Benedict.  
§. 18. Which is sometimes called the Deans Chapel, by reason some of the Deans of Westminster have been buried therein, for whom there are two Tombs remaining. On the South side, that of Gabriel Goodman, S. T. D. 
Dr. Gabriel Goodman Dean of Westminster. vid. Ep. 54.  and Dean of this Church forty years; he founded an Hospital and School at Ruthin in Denbighshire, the town where he was born; but dying on the Seventeenth day of July in the year 1601. aged 73. was buried here, and had a Monument of black and white Marble, with his Statue kneeling thereon, erected to his memory, and is yet in being. On the North side one of his Predecessors (under a raised Tomb of grey Marble, having his Effigy engraven thereon in Brass, with Arms and Epitaphs,) was interred, viz. William 
Dr. Will. Bill, Dean of Westm. vid. Ep. 55.  Bill, S. T. D. who was Master of Trinity College in Cambridge, Precedent of Eton, Dean of this Collegiate Church, and grand Almoner to the Queen; a man liberal in his gifts to this College, by several pieces of Silver Plate, and other Largesses bestowed thereon; he died on the fifteenth of July, in the year 1561. Next to him, on the same North side, is an ancient Tomb of Freestone, mixed with grey Marble and Brass, with the Image of Alabaster, representing an Archbishop in his Pontificalibus, under a Canopy of the same stone, placed there to remember Simon Langham, 
Sim. Langham, Archbishop of Canterbury, and Abbot of Westminster. vid. Ep. 56. & §. 9  that famous Monk, Prior, and Abbot of this Monastery, afterwards Bishop of Ely, London. and Archbishop of Canterbury, Bishop of Praenest in Italy, Cardinal S. Sextus, Chancellor and Lord High Treasurer of England, and the Pope's Legate here; he died in the year 1367 at Avenion, and was buried in the House of the Carthusians there, which himself had founded, but afterwards his bones were translated, and interred here, hard by the Altar of St. Benedict. Against the 
Frances Countess of Hertford, Grandchild of the Duke of Norfolk. vid. Ep. 52  East Wall of this Chapel is a most stately Monument, above twenty six foot high, most nobly adorned with Corinthian Columns and Pyramids of Alabaster, Porphyry, Lydian, and divers coloured Marble, variously wrought, and curiously gilded with Gold, on whose Pedestal is the Image of a Countess in her Robes of estate, cumbant at full proportion, being erected by the command of Edward Earl of Hertford, and Baron Beauchamp; (Son of Edward Duke of Somerset, etc. Uncle to King Edward VI) to the memory of his Wife the Lady Frances, who was Daughter of William Baron Howard of Effingham Knight of the Garter, High Admiral to Queen Marry, Lord Chamberlain and Privy Seal to Queen Elizabeth, and Son of Thomas Duke of Norfolk; she died in the year 1598. In the midst of the Area of this Chapel is a noble Tomb of black and white Marble, whereon are placed the Images of Lyonel Cranfield Earl of 
Lionel Cranfield, and his Countess. vid. Ep. 53.  Middlesex, who was Lord High Treasurer of England, with that of the Lady Anne his second Wife; he died in the year 1645.  
§. 47. Next to this Chapel you are let into the Area (or passage that leads you round the Chapel of the Kings,) by an Officer of the Church, who attends there to wait upon all persons that are desirous of seeing the Monuments within, whose Fee is what the particular bounty of each Gentleman shall think convenient to give him; you may therefore save the civil Officer that trouble, and better inform yourself by taking these directions; The first place you are led into on this South side will be the Chapel of St. Edmund the Archbishop, but before you enter therein I would not have you overpass a little Monument between the Chapel of St. Benedict and this of St. Edmund, being a small raised Tomb, adorned with divers 
Three Children of Henry III and four Children of Edward 1  coloured stones, and Arched, under which are the Effigies of four Children painted thereon in plano, but there is no Inscription or Table belonging thereto; in this Tomb are enclosed the bones of Richard, John, and Katherine, Children of King Henry III. and was set up by Edward I. King of England for three of his Sons and a Daughter, which he had by Eleanor his Queen, Daughter of Ferdinand III. King of Castille, viz. John, Henry, Alphonsus, and Eleonore. From this Tomb we go into the   

Chapel of St. Edmund.  
§. 48. On the right hand of the entrance you have a very ancient Tomb of grey Marble, about three foot high, adorned with divers Coats of Arms, which serves as a Pedestal to support a Wainscot Chest, covered over with 
〈…〉 Valence 〈…〉 or. Earl 〈…〉 〈…〉 broke ●●●. Ep. 67.  plates of Brass richly enameled, and thereon the Image of William de Valence Earl of Pembroke, with a deep Shield on his left Arm, in a Coat of Male, with a Surcoat all of the same enameled Brass gilded with Gold, and beset with the Arms of Valence, viz. Bar-rule Ar. & B. an orle of Martlets' Gules; round about the inner ledge of this Tomb is most of the Epitaph remaining in the ancient Saxon Letters, and the rest of the Chest covered with Brass, wrought in the form of Lozenges, each Lozenge containing either the Arms of England, or that of Valence, alternately placed one after the other, enameled with their colours. Round this Chest have been thirty little Brazen Images, some of them still remaining, twelve on each side, and three at each end, divided by certain Arches, that serve as Niches to enclose them: And on an outward ledge, at the foot of each of these Images are placed a Coat of Arms in Brass, enameled with their colours. This William de Valence (for whom this curious Tomb was made) was Son of Hugh le Brun, Earl of March in the Confines of France and Poitiers by Isabel his Wife, Widow of King John, etc. as I have said before in the description 
Vid. §. 28.  of his Son's Monument, and being half Brother to King Henry III was by him advanced to great honours, who having married Joan, the Daughter of Warren de Montechensey, died in the year 1304, and had this Monument erected to his memory.  
§. 49. On the West side of this Chapel, and next to the Tomb of 
Edward Talbot Earl of Shrewsbury, and his Lady. vid. Ep. 66.  William de Valence Earl of Pembroke is a most noble Monument for one of the Successors of that renowned Family of the Talbots Earls of Shrewsbury, viz. Edward, the eighth Earl thereof, who died on the eighteenth of February 1617. aged 57 years, and the Lady Jane his Countess, who was the eldest Daughter, and one of the Coheirs of the last Lord Ogle of that name. On a large Table of black Marble, supported by a stately Pedestal of Alabaster, and six Corinthian Pillars, lie their Images at full proportion, in their Mantles of Estate, painted, and gilt with Gold; at his feet, is placed a Talbot passant, and at hers, a Griffons head coped, with the Effigies of a female Child beneath them, all under a sumptuous arched Canopy of curious wrought, and divers coloured stones, adorned with large Columns, warlike Trophies, Cherubims, Stems of that illustrious Family, Coats of Arms, and Epitaphs.  
§. 50. Beyond which, more towards the South, is a comely Monument of Alabaster, and various coloured Marble, adorned with Arms, and gilt with Gold, with three little Images on their knees, under as many arched Canopies of black Marble and figured Alabaster. In the midst is that 
Sir Rich. Pecksal Knight. vid. Ep. 62.  of Sir Richard Pecksal Knight in Armour, who was Master of the Buck-hounds to Queen Elizabeth; On one side of whom is that of his first Wife the Lady Eleonore, who was Daughter of William Pawlet, Marquis of Winchester, Lord High Treasurer of England, by whom he had four Daughters, whose Statues help to beautify the Pedestal of this Monument: on the other, his second Wife, who was likewise named Eleonore the Daughter of J. Cotgrave, who after the death of this her first Husband was remarried to Sir John Savage of Cheshire Knight, and caused this Monument to be erected to his memory.  
§. 51. Next to this, within the Wall 
St. Bernard Brocas Knight. vid. Ep. 65.  directly South, between two Pillars of the Chapel Windows, is an ancient Canopied Tomb, adorned and enriched with Gold according to the fashion of those times, under which is an embattelled Pedestal of grey Marble, having thereon the Image of a Knight in Armour, reposing his head on his Helm, ensigned with a Blackamoors head for a Crest, and his feet supported by a Lion couchant, with a deep Shield on his left arm, almost broken away, with eight lesser Escutcheons placed on the breasts of as many Cherubims, diversely set about the Tomb, but all the painting wholly decayed and worn away, nothing remaining but a piece of a broken Inscription in Brass on the ledge of the imbattelled Pedestal, whereby we may understand that this Monument was erected for one Sir Bernard Brocas Knight, Chamberlain to Anne Queen of England, who was Wife to King Richard II.  
§. 52. Against the same Wall, but 
John Lord Russel Son to the Earl of Bedford. vid. Ep. 59  more towards the East, is a noble Monument of Alabaster, black, and various coloured Marble, Canopied and adorned with Corinthian Pillars, Coats of Arms, and gilt with Gold, on whose Pedestal is placed the Image of a man at full proportion, leaning on his left side, and supporting his head by his left Arm in his Robes of Estate, with another little Image of an Infant at his feet, all in curious wrought Alabaster, painted and gilded with Gold, environed with a Grate, and an Epitaph in Latin, Greek, and English, set up here to remember John Lord Russel and his Son Francis a Child, by the Lady Elizabeth his Wife, Daughter of Sir Anthony Coke Knight, and Widow of Sir Thomas Hobby; he was Son and Heir to Francis Russel, who was the second Earl of Bedford of that surname, but dying before his Father in the year 1584. and his Son Francis, anno 1580. was buried here, leaving behind him only two Daughters, viz. Anne and Elizabeth.  
§. 53. Which Elizabeth is said to 
Elizabeth Daughter of John Lord Russel. vid. Ep. 113.  have bled to death by a prick she received in the forefinger of her left hand by a Needle, but with what truth I know not: Yet the Monument placed here for her within the same Grate with her Father by the Lady Anne her Sister seems not obscurely to point out as much: For on a Pedestal of black and white Marble, shaped after the figure of a Roman Altar, made Column wise, is set the Statue of this young Lady, reposing herself in a curious wrought Osier Chair, all of polished Alabaster, melancholily inclining her cheek to her right hand, and with the forefinger of her left only extended, directs us to behold the death's head placed at her feet, silently intimating, that from thence sprung the Malady that brought her to the grave; wherefore we may not irrationally conjecture, that having touched an Artery with the envenomed Needle, the infection might so suddenly disperse itself (well known to able Physicians,) that in a short time it might occasion her death, which by the Ignorant might be imputed to the simple prick of her finger, a thing altogether unlikely and absurd.  
§. 54. Next to this Columnial Monument 
Francis Holles, Son to the Earl of Clare. vid. Ep. 58.  is another of the same form, but somewhat larger, composed of Alabaster and white Marble, with the Statue of a noble Youth thereon, furnitured and equipped like a Roman Hero, with Helm, Shield, Coat of Male, Buskins, Sandals, etc. of polished Marble, which the illustrious Earl of Clare caused to be erected for his third Son Francis Holles, who returning sick from the Wars in Flanders and the Low-Countries, died at the age of eighteen years, and was buried here, anno 1622.  
§. 55. Between these two Altar-like 
The Lady Katherine Knowles, Cousin German to Queen Eliz. vid. Ep. 60.  Monuments, are two little Tombs fixed to the Wall above them against the East side of the Chapel, both of Alabaster and black Marble, adorned with small Corinthian Pillars, set about with Arms, and gilt with Gold: The one, which is next to the door, for the Lady Katherine Knowles, chief Lady of the Bedchamber, and Cousin German to Queen Elizabeth, and Wife to Sir Francis Knowles Knight, Treasurer of the Household to the same Queen; she died at Hampton-Court on the fifth day of January 1568. and was honourably buried in the floor of this Chapel. The other, for the Lady Jane 
The Lady Jane Seymour, Cousin-German to King Edward VI vid. Ep. 61.  Seymour Cousin-German to Edward VI King of England, and Daughter of Edward Duke of Somerset, Earl of Hertford, Viscount Beauchamp, and Baron Seymour, who dying a Virgin on the nineteenth day of March, in the year of our Lord 1560, at the age of nineteen years was buried here, and had this small Monument erected by her Brother the Earl of Hertford to her memory. But the Latin Verses mentioned by Stow and Camden to have been placed on this little Tomb are not here now, but only the English Inscription.  
§. 56. In the Area or floor of this 
Frances Duchess of Suffolk, Grandchild to King Henry VII. vid. Ep. 57  Chapel, not far from the Monument of Francis Holles, is a raised Tomb of Alabaster, about five foot from the ground, adorned with Arms and Inscriptions, and gilt with Gold; joining to the four corners thereof are as many Corinthian Pillars, supporting a Table of black Marble, whereon is placed the Image at full proportion in her Robes of Estate, and at her feet a Lion couchant, with a rich Jewel pendant at the end of a Chain, encompassing her neck, and falling between her breasts, all curiously wrought, and admirably polished, in white Marble, erected here for the Lady Frances Duchess of Suffolk, anno 1563. she was a Lady of great extraction, being Daughter to Charles Brandon Duke of Suffolk, and Mary the French Queen, who was the Daughter of Henry VII. King of England; she was married first to Henry Grey Marquess of Dorchester, who by King Edward VI. was created Duke of Suffolk; and afterwards to Adrian Stokes Esquire, who set up this Monument to remember her; she had a Daughter named Mary by her former Husband the Marquis of Dorcet, who died in the year 1578. and was buried by her without any Monument, Tomb, or Grave-stone.  
§. 57 By this of the Duchess of 
William of Windsor, and his Sister Blanch of the Tower, Children of Edward III.  Suffolk is a little raised Tomb of grey Marble, on the top of which are placed the Images of two small Children, a Boy and Girl in Alabaster, neither of them being above sixteen Inches in length, at the feet of the Girl is a Lion couchant, but part of the Boys feet and Tomb under him is broken away; there being no Inscription or Epitaph thereon, but are reported to be two Children of Edward III. King of England, viz. William of Windsor, so called because born at the King's Castle of Windsor, with his Sister Blanch of the Tower, for that in the Tower of London her Mother was delivered of her, both lying under this little Tomb.  
§. 58. On the left hand of the door 
John of Eltham, Earl of Cornwall, Son of King Ed. II.  of this Chapel, and not far from this little Tomb is a most noble raised Monument of grey Marble, set about with twenty four little Images of various coloured Alabaster and white Marble, under each of which are the blank Escutcheons remaining, whereon had been as many several Coats of Arms depicted, which are now wholly wholly worn away and decayed. On this Tomb is an Image of admirable wrought Alabaster, in his Coat Armour, and a deep Shield on his left arm, whereon is graven the Arms of England within a bordure of France, and was placed here for John of Eltham, Earl of Cornwall, having two Angels on each side supporting his head, and a Lion couchant at his feet, carved and finely pictured of the same Alabaster, with a Canopy covering the whole with delicate wrought Spires and Masons work, every where intermixed and adorned with little Images and Angels according to the fashion of those times, supported by eight Pillars of white stone of the same curious wrought work: But there is no Epitaph or Inscription further to inform us. He was the second Son of King Edward II. by Isabel Daughter to Philip le Bell King of France, and took his Surname from the place of his birth, viz. at Eltham in Kent, he was advanced to the title of Earl of Cornwall by his Brother King Edward III. made twice Lieutenant of all England by the same King upon his Expeditions first into France, and then into Scotland, during his absence. But attending his Brother in the tenth year of his Reign into Scotland; he fell sick at St. johnstones Town, and there died without Wife or Issue, and was afterwards brought into this Chapel, and here honourably buried, and had this Monument erected to his Memory.  
§. 59 In the midst of the Area of this 
Elenore Duchess of Gloucester, Daughter-in-law to King Edw. III. vid. Ep. 64.  Chapel, under a large grey Marble Tomb, about two foot from the ground, with her Effigies engraven thereon in Brass, under a Canopy artificially portrayed, adorned with Arms and devices of the same Brass, with an Epitaph circumscribed in French, all remaining entire at this day, lies Elenore Duchess of Gloucester, who was one of the Daughters and Coheirs of Humphrey de Bohun Earl of Hereford, Essex, Northampton, and High Constable of England, and Wife of Thomas de Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester, Son to King Edward III. by whom she had a Son, who died in his Infancy, and a Daughter, named Anne, who was Wife first, to Edward Earl of Stafford, and afterwards, to Sir William Bourchier Knight, from this Anne by her first husband, the atinent Dukes of Buckingham were descended, and by her last, the Bourchiers' Earls of Essex; she died on the third of October 1399.  
§. 60. There is another raised Tomb 
Humph. Bourchier, Son of the Lord berner's, vid. Epit. 63.  of grey Marble, somewhat higher than that of the Duchess of Gloucester, adjoining to Sir Bernard Brocas whereon is portrayed the Effigies of a man in Armour, with his head on his Helm, ensigned with a Crest, and his feet supported, the one by a Leopard, the other, by an Eagle, with divers ancient fashioned Shields, and Coats of Arms, all engraven on curious wrought Brass, fixed to the Marble, and remaining entire at this day, with an Epitaph in Latin Verse, insculpt on the same brass plates just under his Effigies, to inform us, that Humphrey Bourchier, Son and Heir of John Lord berner's, lies there interred, who married the Daughter and Heir of Frederick Tilney, and lost his life in those Civil Broils of the Houses of York and Lancaster, taking part with Edward IV. against Henry VI in the Battle of Barnet, from whence he was brought, and here entombed. I know not how it came to pass, but certainly there is a mistake in Mr. Camden's Collection of these Monuments, where he places this Tomb to another Humphrey Bourchier, who was Lord Cromwell, and Son to 
Humph. Bourchier Son of the Earl of Essex.  Henry Earl of Essex, who was slain at the same time at the Battle of Barnet, and interred in this Chapel, hard by the Monument of William de Valence, without any further remembrance of him: And for a confirmation that this Tomb was made for the former Humphrey, Son of the Lord berner's, not only the Verses of his Epitaph specify in part as much, but is most evident by his impaling the Coat of Tilney, with quarterings remaining very visible at this day on the same Tomb.  
§. 61. On the Floor or Pavement 
Robert Walby Archhishop of York. vid. Ep. 69.  of this Chapel adjoining to the foot of the Tomb of Elenore Duchess of Gloucester is a large grey Marble stone, adorned with most excellent workmanship of Brass, whereon is lively pictured, as he was accustomed to sing or say Mass, with a Mitre on his head, and a Crosier Staff in his hand, the Effigy of a Bishop, with so much of an Epitaph round the Verge still in being, to inform us that Robert Walby, Bishop of Durham, afterwards of Chichester, and then Archbishop of York, died on the fourth day of January in the year 1390. and was buried here.  
§. 62. More towards the East, on 
Henry Ferne, Bishop of Chester. vid. Ep. 68  the same Pavement, is another grey Marble stone, with five Plates of Brass, whereon are engraven as many Coats of Arms, with a Mitre in the midst, and round about the Verge an Epitaph insculpt on the like Plates of Brass, giving us to understand, that Henry Ferne, who was the eighth Son of Sir John Ferne Knight, was Master of Trinity College in Cambridge, and afterwards Bishop of Chester, who died in the year 1662. at the age of fifty nine years, and was here deposited.   

The Chapel of St. Nicolas.  
§. 63. On the right hand, as you 
Philippe, Duchess of York, Grand-daughter-in-law to King Edw. III. vid. Ep. 78.  come into this Chapel is an ancient decayed Tomb of Freestone, with the Image of a Lady lying thereon at full proportion, in her Robes of Estate, under a wooden Canopy, curiously painted with Azure, and decked with Stars of Gold, with our Saviour on the Cross; Supported by Wainscot Pillars, and neatly adorned with excellent carved Spires, and Coats of Arms depicted thereon, erected here to continue the remembrance of Philippe, one of the Daughters and Coheirs of John Lord Mohun of Dunster, who was first married to the Lord Fitz-Walter, afterwards to Sir John Golosre Knight, and lastly to Edward Plantagenet Duke of York, (Son of Edmund of Langley, fifth Son of King Edward III) who was killed at the Battle of Agincourt; she died, and was buried here in the year 1474.  
§. 64. Beyond this Tomb, towards 
The Lady Elizabeth Cecil, Daughter of the Earl of Rutland.  the West, under an Arch in the Wall, lies the Image of a woman at full proportion, leaning on her left Arm, in a Cypress vail, all of a mouldering stone, which being decayed by reason of its brittleness, and that the Monument is very plain, seems to be of much greater Antiquity than really it is, having no Inscription, Paintings, or adornments but a Coat of Arms, where Cecil with quarterings, Impaling Manors is to be seen, and was here placed for the Lady Elizabeth, sole-Daughter and Heir of Edward Manors Earl of Rutland by Isabel his Wife, Daughter of Sir Thomas Holcroft, of the Vale Royal in the County of Chester Knight; she was Wife of Sir William Cecil Knight, commonly called Lord Burleigh, Son and Heir apparent to Thomas Earl of Exeter, by whom she had Issue William called Lord Ross; she departed this life the eleventh of May, anno 1591. and lieth here, as the entering thereof in the Herald's Office, and those Arms above, placed over her Effigies do sufficiently testify.  
§. 65. Next to this is a Monument 
Winifrid Marchioness of Winchester. vid. Ep. 77.  of Alabaster, Porphyry, and divers coloured stones, adorned and gilded with Gold, having on the Pedestal the Image of a young man and woman kneeling, with a little Babe in swaddling bands between them, and on a Table supported by this Pedestal is a large Statue of a Lady at full proportion combant, in her Robes of Estate of the same Alabaster, painted, and gilt with Gold, and environed with a Grate, where the Lady Winifrid, Marchioness of Winchester is said to be entombed, she was descended from the ancient Family of the Bruges, first married to Sir Richard Sackvile Knight, Chancellor of the Exchequer, by whom she had the Lord Buckhurst, and the Lady Dacres of the South, with other Children, afterwards to John Paulet Marquis of Winchester, whose Widow she died in the year 1586.

§. 67. Here is a most noble and 
Mildred Cecil Lady Burlegh, and Anne Countess of Oxford her Daughter. vid. Ep. 75.  Magnificent Monument towards the Southeast part Angle of this Chapel, set up against the same Wall by the command and charge of William Cecil, Lord Burlegh to the remembrance of his Wife and Daughter, being twenty four foot high, containing divers Arches and Canopies supported by Corinthian Pillars and adorned with Pyramids, of Porphyry, Lydian, Touch, and various coloured Marble, curiously carved, and gilt with Gold. On the upper part of this Monument under a small Arch is a little figure of an ancient man praying on his knees, and in his Parliament Robes, with the Collar and Jewel of the Order of St. George about his neck, to represent the aforesaid William Cecil Lord Burlegh, Lord High Treasurer of England, Privy Counsellor to Queen Elizabeth, and Knight of the most noble Order of the Garter, who died on the fourth day of August in the year 1598. and lay in state in this Church six days; afterwards he was translated to Stamford, where in St. Martin's Church his body was interred.

§. 77. Or King Henry VII. as it is 
The Chapel of K. Hen VII.  vulgarly called, by reason that he commanded it to be erected, and was at the charge thereof. This Chapel, so much admired by Strangers, and esteemed by us, rather exceeds in beauty and excellent contrivance than equals the same thereof, for if we respect the admirable Architecture, and most noble Roof, we there behold a most delightful 
The Roof.  sight. On either side we are entertained with no less than 120 several 
Statues.  Statues of the Primitive Saints and Martyrs, and round about other lesser Images and Antic figures, so excellently carved, and curiously engraven, that many experienced in the Art of Painting have not neglected the copying them; the curious workmanship of the Staules, with the rest of the 
Staules'.  fine wrought Wainscot, that serves to adorn this Chapel, ought not to be passed over without your observation; nor are the Windows (where 
Windows.  with this Chapel is further embellished) to be neglected, every light composed of Diapered and well painted glass, each Pane containing either a Red Rose, the Badge or Cognizance of the House of Lancaster, or a Text H, the Initial Letter of this King's name, each crowned with a Royal Diadem. But above all, the magnificent and glorious Monuments and noble 
And Monuments therein.  Tombs of those illustrious Princes who have been interred and deposited here deserve a more particular description.

King Hen. VII. and his Queen. vid. Ep. 82.  the Founder of this admirable Fabric, which stands at the upper end of this his Chapel, being all of solid Brass, about eighteen foot in length, six in breadth, and nine in depth; open on the top, with a continual Battlement going quite round, where in the midst of every Square, and at each Angle is a great Rose, representing so many Bulwarks encompassing a Royal Fort; whilst on the under part of this stately Structure, supporting these Battlements, are divers Pillars full of Niches, and in each Nich were as many brazen Statues gilded with Gold, with other Images, of the Apostles, Fathers, and Doctors of the Church; which in great part are now stolen away: The work that fills up the spaces and squares between each of these Pillars from the bottom to the top is all Grate-work, representing the nature of a Vine, curling and twining its branches to and fro for the conveniency of the Dragons and Greyhounds to encounter or chase on the other, with which Figures the whole work is interlaced. Round about the cross bars, which go quite round the midst of this Tonument, is an Epitaph in Latin Verse, made to the commendations of the Founder: On the North and South side of this Case, or Fence, or rather small Chapel, to the noble Tomb within, you have two brazen doors, which are seldom opened by reason the Grate-work gives Spectators a sufficient view of the Tomb: Which Tomb is a Pedestal of about five foot from the ground, of black Marble, every way adorned with gilded brass, of admirable workmanship: on which Pedestal are placed the Images, all of solid Brass, and gilt with Gold, in their Royal Habiliments, of that great King Henry VII. of England, and Elizabeth his Queen, Daughter of Edward IV. under each of whose Images are divers Inscriptions in Brass gilded, to inform you from whence they derived their Lineage and Descent. On the outside of this brazen Monument there be two ancient Tables in writing, with many Verses, composed by Skelton, the King's Orator and Poet Laureate, as he styles him, in which he blazons forth the commendations and virtues of that excellent Prince and Queen, which I have 
Vid. Ep. ●2.  transcribed for your satisfaction, and you may find among the Monumental Inscriptions.  
§. 79. At the head of his Grandfather 
Edward VI K. of England.  King Henry VII. was Edward VI K. of England France, and Ireland, interred under a brazen Altar, artificially wrought, and gilt with Gold, of which there is nothing now remaining. He was Son to Henry VIII. by Jane Seymour his Queen, being crowned the twenty eighth of January 1546. and died the sixth of July 1553. (as it is supposed) of an untimely death. The Altar and Sepulchre, before mentioned, wherein the body of King Henry VII. resteth, was made and finished in the year 1519. by one Peter a Painter of Florence, for which he received no more than one thousand pounds sterling for the whole stuff and workmanship, so cheap and so excellent was work in those days.  
§. 80. On either side of the same 
Margaret Countess of Richmond and Derby, mother to K. Hen. VII. vid. Ep. 83.  Chapel you have several of the Ancestors and Successors of the Founder interred. On the South side, behind the staules of the Choir, towards the East, is a noble raised Tomb of black Marble, curiously wrought, and adorned with gilded Brass, Arms, an Epitaph round the Verge, and environed with a Grate, whereon is placed the Image of a Lady in her Robes of Estate, all of solid Brass, and gilt with Gold, with the model of two Pillars on each side her, after which form she caused the noble structures which she erected to be composed, under which lies Margaret Countess of Richmond and Derby, one of the Daughters and Heirs of John Duke of Somerset, by Margaret the Daughter of the Lord Beauchamp of Powick. She was first married to Edmund the Son of Owen Tuder, by whom she had Henry VII. King of England, and afterwards to Edward Stanley Earl of Derby. She built two Colleges at Cambridge, Christchurch, and St. John's, instituted a Divinity Lecture in either University, gave much to religious Houses, and endowed her Foundations with ample Revenues, and after she had seen her Grandson King Henry VIII. crowned, she died in the year 1509.  
§. 81. At the lower end, towards 
Margaret Countess of Levenox, Grandmother to King James. vid.

She married Matthew Stuart Earl of Levenox, by whom she had Henry Lord Darly, Father to King James VI of Scotland, and first Monarch of Great Britain. She died anno 1578.  
§. 82. Between these two Monuments 
Marry Queen of Scots, Mother to King James. vid. Ep. 85.  of Margaret Countess of Richmond, and Margaret Countess of Levenox, is a most stately Monument, erected by the order of King James for his Mother, Mary Queen of Scots, whose Image in her Royal Habiliments, painted, and gilt with Gold, is placed on a noble Pedestal of curious wrought Alabaster, overshadowed by an arched Canopy, supported by eight Corinthian Pillars of black Marble, the Capitals and Pedestals gilded, the Architrave adorned with Arms, and the whole of an admirable composure. This Lady for whom this Monument was framed was Daughter and Heir to James V. King of Scotland, the Son of James IU. and Margaret his Queen, eldest Daughter to King Henry VII. of England. She was married to Francis the Dauphin, afterwards King of France, by the name of Francis the Second, after whose death she married the Lord Darly, by whom she had James her Son and Heir, during whose minority, being driven by her rebellious Subjects from her Kingdom, and casting herself upon the protection of Queen Elizabeth, she underwent the hard fortune to be imprisoned almost twenty years, and at last was beheaded in the forty sixth year of her age anno 1587. being buried at Peterborough, but upon the coming of King James to the Crown of England, he commanded her body to be translated from thence, and here honourably to be entombed in a Vault underneath her Monument.  
§. 83. On the North side of this 
Mary and Elizabeth▪ Queens of E●gland. vid. Ep. 89.  Chapel, behind the Staules, you have another most Magnificent and Royal Monument, made altogether after the same fashion with that of Mary Queen of Scots, the Canopy supported by Corinthian Pillars, set about with Arms, with the Image thereon of Elizabeth Queen of England, in her Royal Habiliments, painted, and gilt with Gold, which was erected likewise by the order of King James, for Mary Queen of England, France, and Ireland, (Daughter to Henry VIII. by Katherine, Daughter to Ferdinand King of Spain, who succeeded her Brother King Edward VI to his Crown and Kingdoms, anno 1553. who after her marriage with Philip II. King of Spain, died in the year 1558.) and Elizabeth ●er Sister, Daughter likewise of King Henry VIII. by his second Wife Anne Bullen, who after she had reigned forty four years, four Months, and eight days, died on the twenty fourth day of March anno 1602. and was buried in the same Vault by her Sister, just under this Tomb.  
§. 84. At the upper end of this 
The L●dy Sophia, Daughter to King James. vid▪ Ep. 90.  North side, towards the East, within a Baluster, or Rail of Iron, you have three small, but curious Tombs; that towards the North is a Child in a Cradle made of Alabaster, finely engraven, and gilt with Gold, being set on a Pedestal of black Marble, and was placed here likewise by the order of King James for his Daughter Sophia an Infant, who was born on the 22 day of June, anno 1606. and died three days after.  
§. 85. The other towards the South, 
The Lady Mary another Daughter of King James. vid. Ep. 91.  is a neat raised Tomb of Alabaster and Touch, adorned with Arms, and gilt with Gold, whereon is placed the Image of a Child lying at length, and leaning on her left Arm, composed of white Marble, and lively painted, for another Daughter of King James Monarch of Great Britain, viz. Marry, who died on the sixteenth day of December anno 1607. being two years, five months, and eight days old.  
§. 86. Between these is the third, 
Edward V▪ King of England, and Rich. Duke of York his Brother. vid. Ep. 92.  where, in the Wall is a Nich cut on purpose, and a curious Altar of black and white Marble, admirably polished, with two Crowns, and as many golden branches of Palm, with an Epitaph engraven on the Pedestal, informing us, that his present Majesty Charles II. Monarch of Great Britain, commanded this to be erected to revive and perpetuate the remembrance of his Kinsmen those Princely Youths who were most barbarously smothered to death with Pillows in the Tower of London, by the cruelty of their unnatural Uncle King Richard III. viz. Edward V. King of England, and Richard Duke of York his Brother, whose bodies, so long sought for (but in vain) by reason of the sudden death of the Priest who buried them, were lately found by undoubted circumstances on the seventeenth day of July 1674. after 
Thei● 〈…〉 es found 〈…〉 Tower ●● L●ndon▪ an●●●anslat●d hither.  196 years' obscurity: For some alterations being ordered to be made in the Tower of London about this time, and ●h● Workmen taking up the steps en●●ring the Chapel belonging to the White Tower, they found these bod●●s there-under deposited; which our most Royal Sovereign, out of his noble and compassionate nature, pitying their unjust punishment, and hard fortune, commanded with all decency and reverence to be translated, and reinterred here, among ashes equally as Royal as their own, which was performed accordingly, anno 1678.  
§. 87. At the head of Mary and Elizabeth, Queens of England, in a small Vault, capable of no more than two Coffins, are deposited in leaden Chests George Monk Duke of Albemarle, and Edward Montague Earl of Sandwich. These loyal and most worthy Gentlemen, who as yet have no Monuments erected for them, but their Banners, Pennons, Guidons, and other Ensigns of honour, are hung up here as Trophies of their incomparable fame. The Statue of the Duke of Albemarle, in complete Armour, with his Parliament Robes as a Mantle covering them, with the Collar of the Order of St. George round his neck, a Battoon in his hand, and a Coronet on his head, is likewise placed in a Press of Wainscot further to remember him.  
§. 88 This George Monk was Son 
George Monk Duke of Albermarle.  to Sir Thomas Monk of Potheridge in the County of Devon Knight, who having much delighted from his youth and practised a military course of life as well in foreign parts as at home, after the Martyrdom of King Charles I. and the expulsion of his Royal Issue, was entrusted by the Usurpers with the command of one of their Armies, and made General in the North. But such was the integrity of this illustrious Hero, and true loyalty to his Master's Children, that he held correspondency with the King during his exile, and only waited the opportunity (which was afterwards put into his hands) of restoring him to his Kingdoms; for which good services, and that by the Lady Frances, Daughter and Coheir to Arthur Plantagenet, natural Son to King Edward IV. Wife of Thomas Monk Esquire, his lineal Ancestor, he was descended from Edward Grey Viscount Lisle, Son to the renowned John Talbot, sometime Earl of Shrewsbury, by Margaret his Wife, of that valiant Earl from the famous Richard Beauchamp Earl of Warwick and Aumarle, Regent of France, (whose eldest Daughter and Co-heir she was) he had by Letters Patent, bearing date the seventh day of July, in 12 Car. 2. these several Dignities and Titles of honour conferred upon him, and the Heirs Males of his body, viz. Baron Monk of Potheridge, Beauchamp, and Teyes; Earl of Torrington, and Duke of Albemarle,; and shortly after instauled Knight of the most noble Order of the Garter. He married Anne the Sister of Sir Thomas Clarges Knight, and died on the fourth of January 1669. leaving Christopher his Son and Successor. A Cenotaph was here erected, with his Statue thereon, standing many days in the body of this Church, and on the day of his interment there was a most solemn Funeral Pomp, with all the Nobility and chief Gentry of the Kingdom attending him to the Grave, by the express order, and at the charge of our present Sovereign, to whom he was most dear.  
§. 89. Edward Montague, his Companion 
●dw●rd Mountague ●arl o● Sandwich.  both in life and death, was Son and Heir to Sir Sidney Montague, de Hinchinbrooke, in the County of Huntingdon Knight, who was youngest Brother to Edward the first Lord Montague of Boughton. This Edward (no less than his fellow-soldier the Duke of Albemarle by land) became entrusted with the like power of being Admiral by Sea, and by the same Usurpers, where for a time both of them were forced to disguise their honest thoughts by a seeming compliance with their unjust tyranny. By which means they became the chief and happy▪ Instruments, without any opposition, of restoring again the Laws, Liberties, Peace, and Tranquillity of these Kingdoms, and their lawful Sovereign, after twelve years' exile, to his undoubted Right and Inheritance: For which good services he was made Knight of the most noble Order of the Garter, a Baron of this Realm, by the Title of Lord Montague of S. Neots in Com. Hunt. Viscount Hinchinbrooke, and Earl of Sandwich. But being Vice-Admiral to his Royal Highness James Duke of York and Albany, in the Sea-fight between the English and the Dutch, on the twenty eighth of May, Anno 1672. had his Ship, called the Royal james, most unfortunately set on ●ir●, where he lost his life in the forty seventh year of his age, his body being afterwards found on the Sea Coast was taken up and brought to Westminster in great state, and here honourably interred. He married Semina Daughter to John Lord Crew de Stene in Com. North. and had Issue six Sons, Edward, Sidney, Oliver, John, Charles, and James, and four Daughters, Jemina, Paulina, Anne, and Katherine.  
§. 90. On each side of the Founder's 
George Villers, Duke of Bucking●●● and his Lady. vid. Ep. 8●.  Tomb are two small Chapels: In that on the North is a most Magnificent and stately Monument for George Villers, that Great Duke of Buckingham, who was slain at Portsmouth with a Poniard (in his Expedition to the Isle of Rea) by the impious hands of Felton, a Lieutenant under his Command, in the year 1634. ●e married Katherine the Daughter and Heir of the Earl of Rutland, and had several Children by her, viz. Marry, Charles, (who died in their infancy) George the present Duke of Buckingham, and Francis. This Tomb for its admirable composure of Lydian, Touch, and divers rich Marbles, and curious Statues of solid Brass, and gilt with Gold, is scarce to be equalled in all Europe, for on the East Wall of this Chapel there runs up a Compartment from the Pavement to the Roof of black and white Marble, richly adorned, wherein all that is excellent in Architecture, Carving, Mason's work, or Sculpture, is there to be seen; the variety of noble Columns, Embattlements, Arches, Niches, Pedestals, Architraves, Statues, and infinite other Figures, all wrought in stone, or burnished Brass, gilded with Gold, make ● sweet harmony of composure, the little Hymen's extinguishing their Torches, and weeping Cupid's neglecting their employments, with those large● Statues of Mars, Neptune, Pallas, and Bounty, that are placed at the four corners of the Pedestal, before as many▪ noble Pyramids of black Marble, set about with Warlike Trophies, and supported from their Pedestals by sixteen Death's heads of gilded Brass, are subjects expressing an universal mourning: But when we behold the Statue of this illustrious Hero himself, with that awful Majestic countenance mixed with greatness and affability; and the Image of his Lady lying by him, with a Fame at their feet, even bursting herself, and Trumpets to tell the news of his so sudden fall, we cannot but be concerned, yet pleased to see such lively representations and speaking figures, which seem really to be affected with a sense of sorrow and disconsolation.  
§. 91. On the South side of the 
Lodowick Stuart, Duke of Ri●●●ond, and his Duchess Cousin▪ German to King James. vid. Ep. 86.  aforesaid Founder's Tomb is the other Chapel, wherein is another Majestic and Prince like Monument, little inferior to that of the Duke of Buckingham, but of another manner of composure, for on a large raised Pedestal of black Marble, richly adorned with curious wrought Brass, gilded with Gold, and set about with Arms, are placed the Images of of Lodowick Stuart, Duke of Richmond and Levenox, Earl of Newcattle upon Tine, and Lord Darnley, Lord High Chamberlain of Scotland, and hereditary Admiral, Lord High Steward of his Majesty's Household, first Gentleman of the Bedchamber, Privy Counsellor, and Cousin German to King James, and Knight of the most noble Order of the Garter; with the Lady Frances his Wife, Daughter of Thomas Lord Howard of Bindon, Son to the Duke of Norfolk, etc. The Statues of these two illustrious persons all of solid Brass, gilded with Gold, in their Robes of Estate, lying upon the aforesaid Pedestal, under a stately Canopy, through wrought, and curiously engraven, of the same gilded Brass, resting itself on an Architrave of black Marble, supported at the four corners by the Statues of Faith, Hope, Charity, and Prudence, which serve as mourners in their Cypress Vails, continually to attend, and seem to lament their departure, in which posture their Figures are lively expressed all of the same Brass; on the top of this Canopy is a Fame and round about divers Cencers, Angels, Hymen's, Cupids, and other Imagery work, by which the whole becomes very curious and magnificent.  
§. 92. At the feet of this Duke and 
Esme Stuart, Duke of ●i●● 〈…〉 his Grandson. vid. Ep. ●●.  his Duchess, against the East Wall is a small Pyramid of black and white Marble, with an Urn placed on the top, and a Coronet encompassing the 〈…〉 gilt with Gold, for Esme Stuart, Duke of Richmond and Levenox, who was Son of James Stuart Duke of Richmond, etc. And the Lady Mary his Wife, only Daughter of George Duke of Buckingham. This Esme died at Paris on the fourteenth day of August 1661. in the eleventh year of his Age▪ from whence he was brought and interred here.  
§. 93. These are all the Monuments and Tombs that we meet with above ground in this stately Chapel, except the Image of Lodowick Stuart Duke of Richmond, as above, and his Duchess, which are placed in a Press of Wainscot, not far from their Monument, in their Robes of Estate. But underground, and in the Vaults there are many more.

§. 117. There is a small Vault adjoining 
Charles Earl of Levenox▪ Uncle to King James. vid. Ep. 84.  to this, wherein are only two Coffins of lead, the one on the other, the undermost of which is very much shaken and decayed, so that the Skeleton and perched skin of the interred is to be seen, being the remains of Charles Earl of Levenox, youngest Son to Matthew Earl of Levenox, and the Lady Margaret his Countess, Grandfather and Grandmother to King James, he died anno 1576.

§. 119. Coming down the stairs of this Chapel the same way we went up, the first place we meet with on the North side is   

The Chapel of St. Paul,  
Wherein are these Monuments, viz. on 
Lodowick Robsert Lord Bourchier.  the right hand of the door as you come in is an ancient Tomb of Freestone, on whose Pedestal are several Coats of Arms, carved and encompassed with the Garter, on each side of which are two Lions sejant, and as many Eagles, each of them supporting a Standard or Banner with the Arms of Robsert and Bourchier, with quarterings: On this Pedestal are two Coffins of lead, enclosed and covered with Wainscot and Oaken boards of a coped form, under a low arched Canopy of the foregoing stone, without any Inscriptition, Table, or Epitaph, but therein are deposited the remains of Lodowick Robsert Lord Bourchier and his Lady. This Lodowick, or Lewis, being an Alien, born in the parts of Henault, and succeeding Sir John Robsert Knight in the Captainship of St. Saviour le Viscount in Normandy was made a free Denizen of this Realm in the sixth of Henry V. created Knight of the Bath in the eighth year of his Reign, and was by Letters Patents at Trois in Champain constituted the King's Standard-bearer, and afterwards Knight of the Garter, and one of the Executors to that King. He married Elizabeth Daughter and Heir to Bartholomew Lord Bourchier, Widow of Sir Hugh Stafford Knight, and had summons to Parliament by the Title of Lord Bourchier in the 3, 4, 5, and 7 of Henry VI he died anno 1431. and had this Monument erected to his memory▪ being adorned and set out with many Arms of the Nobility both of England and Henault, and several Sentences intermixed in letters of Gold.  
§. 120. On the South side of this 
Anne Lady Cottington. vid. Ep. 11●.  Chapel, next to this Tomb of Lodowick Robsert Lord Bourchier, is a stately Monument, above twenty six foot high, of admirable Workmanship, composed of Lydian, Alabaster, and Touch: The joining of the Compartments, with the Capitals and Pedestals of the jonick and Corinthian Columns are framed of artificial wrought Brass. The demi Effigies of a Lady is placed towards the top, of curious Statuary work of the same brass, gilded with Gold, within an Oval of black Marble, below which is an Altar of the same stone sweetly carved, with other adornments, and was erected by that Loyal Gentleman Francis Lord Cottington Baron of Hanworth, to remember the no less honourable and virtuous Lady Anne his Wife, who was the Daughter of Sir William Meredith of the County of Denbigh Knight, and dying on the twenty second day of February, anno 1633, in the thirty third year of her age was buried here, leaving Issue behind her, only one Son and one Daughter, viz. Charles, and Anne.  
§. 121. At the foot of this Monument 
Francis Cottington Baron of Hanworth, and Lord Treasurer of England. vid. Ep▪ 119.  is another noble Tomb, lately erected for her Husband, the Lord Francis Cottington of Hanworth, where on a Table of black Marble, supported by six Columns of Lydian and white, placed on an ascent of three Greeses, and environed with a Grate, lies his Statue at full proportion, on a Quilt, with the Staff of his Office, and covered with a Cloak, all well designed and insculpt in fretted Alabaster. He was Chancellor of the Exchequer to King Charles I. Master of his Court of Wards, Constable of the Tower, Lord High Treasurer of England, and twice Ambassador in Spain, where at length he died in Exile, soon after the bloody Rebels had murdered his Royal Master, and usurped his Inheritance; but by the pious care of that worthy Gentleman, his Nephew and Heir Charles Cottington Esquire, his body was in the year 1679 translated from Valadolid in Spain, where he died, and honourably interred here, who gratefully erected this Monument to his memory.  
§. 122. More to the Southeast Angle 
Frances Countess of Sussex. vid. Ep. 120.  of this Chapel is another noble Monument, twenty four foot in height, of Alabaster, Marble, and divers coloured stones, set about with Corinthian Pillars, supporting a stately Canopy, all curiously wrought, and gilt with Gold, under which lies the Image of a Lady at full proportion, in her Robes of Estate, painted and gilded with Gold; for Frances Countess of Sussex, who was the Daughter of Sir William Sidney Knight, and Wife to Thomas Ratcliff Earl of Sussex; whose bounteous liberality to all sorts of people▪ but especially to Schools of learning and learned men, hath gained her a never dying fame; she died, and was buried here, anno 1589. with this comely Monument erected over her.  
§. 123. Next to this, against the East 
Dudley Carleton Viscount Dorcester. vid. Ep. 120.  Wall, is a well composed plain Monument of black and white Marble, having but an half Canopy, supported by Doric Pillars, with the Image of a man in his robes of Estate and Viscounts Coronet, leaning on a Pedestal, all form of the like black and white Marble, for a remembrance of Sir. Dudley Carleton Knight, Baron of Imbercourt, and Viscount Dorcester, who (after many employments, and frequent Embassies, wherein he had served his Prince with great faithfulness and honour) died at Westminster, and was buried here anno 1631.  
§. 124. Beyond which is a curious 
Sir Thomas Bromley Kt. Lord Chancellor of England. vid. Ep. 123.  Monument, with his Image cumbant, in an embroidered Gown, at full proportion, his feet supported by a Pheasant Cock, and on the Pedestal the Images of four Sons, and as many Daughters, all on their knees, covered with a large Canopy, supported by Corinthian Pillars, adorned with Arms, of Alabaster, Marble, and divers coloured stones, painted, and gilt with Gold, for Sir Thomas Bromley Knight, Lord High Chancellor of England, and Privy Counsellor to Queen Elizabeth, who died in the year 1587.  
§. 125. By this, on the North Wall, 
Sir James Fullerton Knight. vid. Ep. 124.  is another neat Tomb of black and white Marble, adorned with Arms, with a Pedestal of the same, whereon are placed the Images of a Knight in Armour, cumbant on a Quilt, with his Lady, whose feet are supported by a Bear couchant, all of white polished Marble, with an Epitaph informing us, that Sir James Fullerton Knight, Gentleman of the Bedchamber to King Charles I. lies there interred; but the blank Table, whereon (if I conjecture aright) his Lady's Epitaph was designed to be ingraved, leaves us in the dark concerning her, and hath been neglected by those who had the charge thereof.  
§. 126. There is a more stately Monument 
Sir John Puckering Knight. Lord Keeper. vid. Ep. 122.  on this North side, about twenty four foot in height, on whose Pedestal of white Marble lie the Images at full proportion of Sir John Puckering, in his embroidered Gown, and his Lady, with eight lesser Figures of three Boys, and five Girls kneeling at the foot of the said Pedestal, all of various coloured Alabaster, painted, and gilt with Gold, with a large Canopy overshadowing them, finely wrought, and supported by Corinthian Pillars, with other Statues of the Purse and Mace-bearer, Coats of Arms, Pyramids, and adornments of the same coloured Alabaster, Lydian, Porphyry, and white Marble. 'tis Sir John was Lord Keeper of the Great Seal of England, and Privy Counsellor to Queen Elizabeth, who died anno 1596.  
§. 127. On the Pavement of this 
Sir Giles Dawbney Knight of the Garter. vid. Ep. 117.  Chapel is a noble raised Tomb, encompassed with an iron Grate, where on a curious Pedestal of Alabaster, set about with Arms, painted with Gold and blue, are the Images of a Knight in Armour, with the Collar, Jewel, and Mantle of the Garter, reposing his head on his Helm, and supporting his feet by a Lion couchant; and his Lady, all of white polished Marble, under which lies buried Sir Giles Dawbney Knight, who was Lord Lieutenant of Calis, Lord Chamberlain to King Henry VII. Knight of the most noble Order of the Garter, and Father to Henry Lord Dawbney, the first and last of that surname, Earl of Bridgwater, with Elizabeth his Wife, descended from the ancient Family of the Arundels in Cornwall; he died anno 1507. and she 1500.  
§. 128. There lie buried likewise in this Chapel Charles de Granada a noble 
Charles de Granada. Eliz. Comitiss. Ormond.  Spaniard; Elizabeth Countess of Ormond, Daughter of Thomas Lord Barkley; John Viscount Thurles,; a 
John Son of Tho. Com. Or●.  Child of Thomas Earl of Ormond, by the Daughter of John Lord Sheffield; Michael Bishop of St. Asaph; Sir Arthur;; 
Michael Episc. St. Asaph. The Lady Gorge. Katherine Com. Northumberland.  Gorge's Lady, who was the Daughter and Heir of Henry Howard Viscount Bindon: And Katherine Countess of Northumberland, one of the Daughters and Coheirs of John Nevil Lord Latimer, who was the Wife of Thomas Percy Earl of Northumberland, none of them having any Monuments, Tombs, or Grave-stones. From this you are led to   

The Chapel of St. john Baptist,  
§. 129. Where on the right hand of the Entrance, along the South side, are 
George Flaccet Abbot of Westminster.  three ancient Marble Tombs, and a stone Coffin: The first is a plain raised Tomb of grey Marble, about a yard from the ground, Canopied with a comely Arch of Freestone, adorned with Arms and Masons-work, which was made for George Flaccet Abbot of this Monastery, but the Inscription and Epitaph round the ledge is torn away.  
§. 130. On this Tomb is placed a stone Coffin, with a lid of the same, and a Crucifix carved thereon, wherein is yet to be seen the bones and Skeleton of an embalmed body, much defaced, (as it should seem by the removal of this Capsula from some other place,) but whose body it is that lies therein I will not aver, as meeting no evidence sufficient to confirm it. But that it cannot be the body of Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Essex, Hereford, and Northampton, who was Lord High Constable of England, and the last of that name, (as the Officers of the Church have received it by Tradition) is evident, for that he was buried with his Father, Grandfather, and great-Grandfather, in the Abbey Church of Walden in Essex, the ancient repository of that noble Family, as may be seen more at large in the Monasticon Anglicanum, and in Sir William Dugdales' Baronage of England; yet two of his Children, which he had by Elizabeth 
Hugh de Bohun and Mary his Sister, grandchildren to Edward I.  the Daughter of Edward I. were buried here, viz. Hugh and Mary. And there is a little Monument against the North Wall of grey Marble, under that of Thomas Curey, erected for them, from whence this story might take its original; I am inclined therefore to think that it were not improbable to believe it the body of Thomas Mylling, 
Tho. Mylling Abbot of Westminster, and Bishop of Hereford.  Abbot of Westminster, and Bishop of Hereford, Privy Counsellor, and Favourite to King Edward IU. and Godfather to his eldest Son Prince Edward, who dying about the year 1493. was buried in the midst of this Chapel, and that when the large Vault and Tomb (which takes up a great part of the Area of this Chapel) was made for Thomas Earl of Exeter, and his Ladies; this Coffin might be taken up and set by here; and the rather for that in Camden's Collection of this Churches Monuments, which were taken before the erection of the said Tomb, there is no mention of such a Coffin as this, which had it been here in his time, I am persuaded he would not have overpassed without some observation thereon. Yet further, if we diligently take notice of the Coffin itself, with the form of the Cross on the Cover, and compare it with many more of the like fashion, both at Canterbury, York, Durham, etc. wherein are conserved the bodies of some Bishop or Archbishop, it will add to the confirmation of this opinion; but I submit to the more Judicious in Antiquities of this nature.  
§. 131. The next to George Flaccet 
Thomas Ruthall, Bishop of Durham.  Abbot of Westminster lies Thomas Ruthall, Bishop of Durham, (who was Secretary to King Henry VII. and died in the year 1524.) in a comely Tomb of Freestone, with an arched Canopy, variously adorned, and set forth with Arms, both of his See and Family, under which is his Image in his Episcopal habit, with a Mitre on his head, and a Pastoral staff in his left hand, placing his feet on the back of a Lion couchant, but there is no Epitaph or Table belonging thereto.  
§▪ 132. At whose feet is the third 
William de Collchester, Abbot of Westminster  ancient Monument, without a Canopy, or any Inscription, where, on a raised Pedestal of Freestone, lies the Image of a Mitered Abbot, in the Vestments wherein he was accustomed to sing or say Mass, with a Mitre on his head, a Crosier staff in his hand, and a Ring on his finger, a Spaniel Dog at his feet, and two Angels supporting his Pillow, all of the same Freestone, curiously ingraved, under which William de Colchester, Abbot of Westminster is said to be interred.  
§. 133. Against the East Wall of this 
Henry Carey, Lord Hunsdon, Cousin Germ. to Q. Eliz. vid. Ep. 129.  Chapel is a most magnificent and stately Monument, about twenty six foot high, where by an ascent of Greeses of black and white Marble you are led to a curious fashioned Tomb of an admirable composure, framed of the Porphyry, the Lydian, Touch, Serpentine, Agate, Alabaster, and divers coloured stones, finely wrought, and adorned with Gold: At the four corners whereof are as many Pyramids of black Marble, Supported by Pedestals of the same, whereon are placed threescore and four Shields of Arms, painted in their proper colours, with the names, matches, and quarterings belonging to that noble Family. These Pyramids and the Tomb are overshadowed by a glorious arched Canopy, every where beset with Coats of Arms, Golden Slips, Branches, Pomegranates, Roses, etc. with other flory and fruit-work, very pleasant and delightful to behold; on each side of the outward part of this arched Canopy are two Magnificent Pyramids of black Marble, adorned with Shields, Banners, Pennons, Cannon, Culverins, Musquetons, Halberds, Half-pikes, Drums, Fifes, with other Instruments of War, and warlike Trophies, carved on the same Marble, and gilt with Gold. Over the Canopy are no less than twenty several Corinthian Columns, supporting and composing various forms of Architecture diversely placed on the noble Arch, whereby the whole becomes very beautiful and magnificent; which was erected here by George Carey Lord Hunsdon (Governor of the Isle of Wight, Knight of the Garter, Privy Counsellor and Lord High Chamberlain to Queen Elizabeth) for his Father the Lord Henry Carey Baron of Hunsdon, (Governor of Berwick, Captain of the Gentlemen Pensioners, Justice in Ewer on this side Trent, Knight of the most noble Order of the Garter, Lord High Chamberlain, Privy Counsellor, and Cousin German to Queen Elizabeth, who died in the 71 year of his age, anno 1596.) and for his Mother the Lady Anne, Daughter of Sir Thomas Morgan Knight.  
§. 134. By these two illustrious persons, 
Thomas Carey, Son to the Earl of Monmouth. vid. Ep. 127.  in the same Vault, lies Thomas Carey, second Son to Robert Lord Carey of Leppington, Earl of Monmouth, and Brother to the last Earl of that surname; he was of the Privy Chamber to King Charles I. and greatly favoured by him, but upon the death of that Royal Martyr he fell suddenly sick, and died in the thirty third year of his age, having a little Monument of white Marble against the North-east Angle of this Chapel, placed of late to his memory.  
§. 135. Next to which, directly 
Coll. Edward Popham.  North, are two large Statues at full proportion; The one, of a man in Armour; The other, of a Lady in a Cypress Veil, of white Marble, both reposing themselves, and resting their arms on a Table of black, under a Canopy, the Curtains withdrawn, with an Achievement of Arms, all of curious wrought Alabaster, but there is no Inscription or Epitaph, which was ordered to be defaced upon the restauration of his Sacred Majesty▪ by reason it was set up for one Colonel Edward Popham, an opposer of his Majesty's undoubted right to his Kingdoms, but by the intercession of some of his Lady's Friends, who had eminently served his Majesty▪ the stone was only turned whereon the Epitaph was insculpt, and the Monument permitted to remain, Sed— 
 — Nigro carbone notanda.  
§. 136. On the left hand of the 
Sir Thomas Vaughan Kt. Treasurer. vid. Ep. ●●5.  door of this Chapel, towards the West, being the first Tomb on that side, you have under an ancient large Arch in the Wall a little Monument of grey Marble, on which is portraitured and finely engraven the Effigies of a Knight in Armour, reposing his head on his Helm, crested with an Unicorns head, coped and crowned, and at each of the four corners a Coat of Arms insculpt of the same brass, with several Caskets and Coffers, with an Inscription in part remaining round the Verge of the Tomb, whereby may be gathered, that Sir Thomas Vaughan Knight, who was first Chamberlain to Edward Prince of Wales, and afterwards Treasurer to his Father King Edward IV. lies underneath.  
§. 137. Here is a most noble Tomb 
Thomas Cecil, Earl of Exeter. vid. Ep. 126.  in the midst of this Chapel, raised about five foot from the Pavement of black and white Marble, the Pedestal set about with fourteen Escutcheons of Arms, and on the top the Images at full proportion of an Earl in his Parliament Robes, with the Collar, George, and Mantle of the Garter, and his Countess in her Robes of Estate, with a Garb supported by two Lions rampant, placed on a Torce under the feet of the Earl, and a Griffon passant under those of his Countess, all of the aforesaid white Marble, admirably polished, and curiously engraven with an Epitaph round the Verge, expressing that Thomas Cecil, Earl of Exeter, and Baron Burleigh, Knight of the most noble Order of the Garter, and Privy Counsellor to King James, lies there interred, together with his first Wife (whose Image that is on the Tomb) the Lady Dorothy Nevil, Daughter and one of the Coheirs of the Lord Latimer: As likewise his second Wife the Lady Frances Bridges, of the noble Family of the Lord Shandois, whose Effigies is not here, though there be left room on the North side of her Husband, as it should seem for that purpose.  
§. 138. On the South side, by the 
Charles Howard, Son to the Earl of Carlisle. vid. Ep. 1●8.  foot of this Tomb, at the head ●f the entrance into the Lord Hunsdons' Vault, was Charles Howard, a Child of two years old, interred anno 1670. having a little stone placed over his Grave, he was the third Son of Charles Earl of Carlisle.  
§. 139. Coming from this Chapel 
Juliana Crew. vid. Ep. 14●.  of St. john Baptist (on each side the entrance) are two little Monuments of Alabaster, black and white Marble, with some small Figures thereon, adorned with Arms, and Epitaphs. That on the West for Juliana Crew, Daughter of Sir Randolph Crew Knight, Lord Chief Justice of England, ●y Juliana Clepesby his Lady, who was the Daughter and Heir to that ancient Family in the County of Norfolk. She died on the twelfth of April, anno 1621.  
§. 140. The other on the East for the Lady Jane Crew, one of the Daughters 
The Lady Jane Crew. vid. Ep. 150.  and Coheirs of Sir John Pultney of Mistertonpultney in the County of Leicester Knight, and Wife of Sir Clyppesby Crew Knight, she died in the thirtieth year of her age, anno 1639. and had this little Monument erected by her Husband for her. Passing from these Monuments, we are led to   

The Chapel of St. Erasmus,  
§. 141. Where by opening a door on your right hand you are let into the undercroft, being something dark by reason of the vicinity of the houses erected in the Churchyard, almost adjoining to the Windows: Yet you may see a plain Marble Table, supported by four small Pillars of wrought Brass, and fixed to a Pedestal of the same stone, where formerly had been placed the Skeleton in his shroud, curiously insculpt, and composed of Alabaster, with an Epitaph circumscribed, and several Verses thereon, which are all now taken away, except the Table, etc. under which was John Islip, Abbot of Westminster interred. 
John Islip, Abbot of Westminster. vid. §. 12.  The fame of this Abbot, with his benefactions to this Church, I have discoursed on elsewhere, yet I forgot to tell you how he designed a stately Tower and Lantern, with a goodly Chime of Bells to be placed therein, over the midst of the Cross of this Church; but finding the foundation of the old Pillars too weak to support his Structure, the Bells were set up in one of the Western Towers, where they remain to this day: Moreover he caused this Chapel to be made and dedicated to St. Erasmus, and adorned the Roof with curious Mason's work, and neat Carving, with several devices and intaglios, and many rebus' (a fancy much in esteem about that time) alluding to his name, as sometimes you have one slipping boughs in a tree; otherwhile, an Eye with a slip of a tree; and again, a Youth slipping from a bough of a tree, with a Label proceeding out of his mouth with I slip thereon, and the like. The whole Vault being interlaced with his Coat of Arms, (viz. Erm▪ a Fess between three Weasels Gules,) and such like devices, as are the Windows in the Oratory above full of the same. But before we take our leaves of this obscure place, (yet well deserving our pains of seeing,) we must not let pass the memory of a noble Gentleman who hath a Monument placed here for him.  
§. 142. Against the East Wall whereof 
Sir Christopher Hatton, Knight of the Bath. vid. Ep. 130, 131.  is a comely Tomb of black and white Marble, on whose Pedestal is the Epitaph, and on one side the Image of a Knight in Armour, lively representing the Original, with his Lady on the other, excellently figured in curious wrought Alabaster, adorned with weeping Cupids, and mournful Hymen's, extinguishing their Torches, with Arms and Paintings, which was erected by the Lady Alice, Daughter of Thomas Fanshaw Esquire, the King's Remembrancer, for Sir Christopher Hatton Knight of the Bath her Husband, Son and Heir to Sir Christopher, Lord High Chancellor of England, by whom she had twelve Children. He died on the tenth day of September 1619. There is a small Table of black and white Marble against the Wall on the East side of this Chapel, nigh the Windows that let in light from the South side of the Church, containing a further Encomium of this worthy Gentleman.  
§. 143. There was likewise buried 
The Lady Anne, Duchess of York daughter-in-law to Edward IU.  here without any Tomb or Grave-stone the Lady Anne, sole Daughter and Heir of John Mowbray Duke of Norfolk, Wife to Richard Duke of York, Son to King Edward IU. but she dying without Issue, the Dukedom of Norfolk came to the Family of the Howards.  
§. 144. Ascending from this undercroft by a pair of stone Stairs into the Oratory itself, wherein nothing remains but some of the rebus' in the Windows, as I have said before: It being at present made use of before. It being at present made use on as a repository for those Statues of our Kings, Queens, and Princes of the Blood Royal, which lay on their Cenotaphs when their Exequys were celebrated in this Church; being here preserved in their Robes of Estate with their Royal Habiliments and other Ensigns of Majesty, in Presses of Wainscot, viz. Edward III. King of England and, Philippe his Queen, Henry V. and Queen Katherine, Henry VII. with Elizabeth his Queen, and Henry Frederick Prince of Wales in one Press, with Queen Elizabeth, King James, and Queen Anne his Wife in the other. Descending again by the same Stairs, and leaving this Chapel on our right hand, we cross over the Area to a wooden frame of four or five steps, that brings us into that other most noted Chapel of this Church, viz.   

The Chapel of St. Edward the Confessor.  
§. 145. Because his body was translated hither from the old Church of his own erection to this of King Henry III. where he had a new Tomb and Shrine (covered with Gold,) built for him in the midst of this Chapel by the same King, a great part thereof to be seen at this day. It is likewise called the Chapel of the Kings, for that many of our Kings and Queens, until the time of King Henry VII. were accustomed to be buried therein: But before I shall enter into a description of any of their particular Monuments, I shall take leave to say something concerning this religious King, and the Feretory made here for him.  
§. 146. He was the Son of King 
S. Edward the Confessor, his death, and Shrine. vid. §. 5, 6,  Etheldred and Emma his Queen, who (being long deprived of his Inheritance by the usurpation of Canutus, Harold, and Hardi●nute the Danes, that had murdered his Brother Edmund, and occasioned his flight into Normandy for his protection,) at length was restored to his Crown and Kingdom, where he became so eminent for his sanctity, and remarkable for his holiness, that he was observed to be the first who obtained that extraordinary privilege from God in curing a disease of swelling in people's throats, which was afterwards thereof called the King's Evil, and hath since been derived to all his Successors. He was so compassionate and pitiful towards his Subjects sufferings and oppressions, that he remitted the annual Pension of 4000 pounds, called Danegelt, to the English Legates; So chaste, that he is said not carnally known his own Wife; and so patient, that he was scarce ever seen to be angry. But after his death, the many infirmities and cures of all sorts of diseases, which are reported immediately to have followed at his Tomb, was the chief motive that persuaded William the Conqueror to adorn his Sepulchre with a rich Shrine, sparkling with Gold and Silver. Six and thirty years after this, his body being taken out of the ground, and being found entire and uncorrupt, with his joints as flexible as if they had been alive, and his Garments preserving their former freshness, struck such an admiration in the beholders, that every where the news thereof ●ung for a miracle, and therefore his body on the thirteenth day of October, in the year 1163, was translated by Thomas of Becket Archbishop of Canterbury, in the presence of King Henry II. and another costly Shrine prepared wherein to place it; and on which day he was solemnly Canonised by the Bull of Pope Alexander III.  
§. 147. After this, upon the rebuilding of this Church by King Henry III. his body was removed out of the old Church of his own erection into this Chapel prepared for him, on which day a magnificent and Royal Feast was kept in the Palace hard by as a commemoration of it, and a third Shrine prepared whereon to place the other two and enclose his sacred body, part whereof is remaining at this day. The upper part of this Feretory which we now behold was all covered with Plate of the purest Gold, so artificially wrought by the most cunning Goldsmiths, and set about with precious stones, that it amounted to an inestimable value, the under part (which is still in being) was framed by the command, and at the charge of Richard de 
vid. §. 23.  Ware, Abbot of Westminster, with a part of those stones, and by the same workmen, which composed the Pavement before the High Altar, curiously adorning it with checkered and fine shining coloured Marble: On each side the Base of this Feretory are three small Niches divided by Serpentine Columns, supporting the Arches for the sick and infirm to repose themselves when they came hither; and I have seen a large Chest or Coffin, bound about with strong bands of Iron, lying about the midst of the inside of this Shrine, where I suppose the body of that pious King may still be conserved. There is now an Inscription in Letters of a late hand, gilded with Gold round the midst of this Marble frame, which you will find among the Monumental 
vid. Ep. 109.  Inscriptions, but heretofore there were other Verses engraven on the same stone after this manner:  

Anno milleno Domini, cum septuageno,  
Et bis centeno, cum completo quasi deno,  
Hoc opus est factum, quod Petrus duxit in actum,  
Romanus civis, homo, causam noscere si vis  
Rex fuit Henricus sancti praesentis amicus.   
The Floor of this Chapel was likewise at the same time, and by the same Abbot, inlaid with the like stones, a great part remaining though something defaced at this day.  
§. 148. Under which Pavement, on 
Editha Queen of England.  the North side the Feretory of St. Edward, lies Editha Queen of England his Wife, who was Daughter to Goodwin that treacherous Earl of Kent, she was a Lady of a singular piety and sweet modesty, died in the year 1074. but hath no Monument or Grave-stone erected for her.  
§. 149. On the South side the same 
Matilda Queen of England.  Shrine, under this beauteous Floor, was Matilda Queen of England interred; she was the Daughter of Malcolm King of Scots, and Wife to King Henry I. who brought unto him divers Children, viz. William, Richard, and Mary, who perished by shipwreck, and Maud the Empress, Wife to Henry V. Emperor, and Mother to King Hen. II. of England. This Queen would every day in Lent walk from her Palace to this Church barefoot and barelegged, and wearing a Garment of hair; she would wash and kiss the feet of the poorest people; and give them Alms; she founded the Priory of Christchurch without Aldgate, and the Hospital of St. Giles in the Fields nigh London; she built the Bridge at Stratford over the River Lea, and repaired many of the Highways, and afterwards anno 1118. dying, was buried in this Church without any Tomb or Monument.  
§. 150. Under the same Pavement 
Two Children of William de Valence, Earl of Pembroke.  was John and Margaret, two Children of William de Valence Earl of Pembroke, interred, having two small stones of grey Marble placed over them without any Inscription, between the Shrine of St. Edward and the Tomb of King Henry V.  
§. 151. Henry, Son to Richard King 
Henry, Grandson to John K. of England.  of the Romans, and Earl of Cornwall, (who was the Second Son of John King of England) returning from the Holy Land, whilst he was hearing Mass at Viterbium in Italy, was slain by Simon and Guido, Sons to Simon Mountford, Earl of Leicester, Anno 1269. his body being buried in the Monastery of Hailes, but his heart placed in the Coffin with St. Edward.  
§. 152. On this Pavement is a large 
Tho. of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester, Son to King Edward III.  grey Marble stone, beautifully adorned and set about with fine Imagery work in curious wrought Brass, between the Shrine of St. Edward and the Tomb of Philippe his Mother, the Inscription being torn away, under which lies Thomas of Woodstock, (sixth Son to King Edward III) who was Earl of Buckingham, and Duke of Gloucester, a man of great Nobility and Renown, whom Richard II. his Nephew betrayed, and afterwards caused him to be barbarously murdered at Calis, anno 1397. He married Elenore, one of the Daughters and Coheirs of Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford and Essex, (who lieth buried in St. Edmund's 
Vid. §. 59  Chapel, as I have declared before) by whom he had Issue one Son, and three Daughters, viz. Humphrey, who died without Issue; Anne, who was Wife of Edmund Earl of Stafford Joan,; who died unmarried; and Isabel, who was a Nun at the Minoresses in London.  
§. 153. Towards the North side of 
John Waltham, Bishop of Salisbury, and Ld▪ Treasurer.  this Chapel at the foot of the Tomb of King Edward I. is another large grey Marble stone, fairly set forth with fine ingraved brass, whereon is the Effigies of a Bishop in the Vestments of his Office, with a Mitre on his head, and a Pastoral staff in his right hand, with the Pictures of the twelve Apostles, divided, and embroidered on either side of him, and other artificial Imagery work about it; the Epitaph round the Ledge being worn away, but was here placed by the command of Richard II. (whose Favourite he was) to the memory of John Waltham the twenty sixth Bishop of Salisbury, anno 1388. He was constituted Master of the Rolls 1382, than Keeper of the Privy Seal, and in the year 1391. Lord High Treasurer of England, in which Office he continued until his death, which happened in the year 1395. and was buried in this place.  
§. 154. Here is likewise on the West 
The Chair of Coronations.  side the Feretory of St. Edward, hard by the Screen that separates the High Altar from this Chapel, the Chair or Seat whereon our Kings are accustomed to be Inaugurated and Crowned. It appears extremely ancient both in its fashion and materials, being made of solid, hard, firm wood, with a back and sides of the same, under whose Seat, supported by four Lions curiously carved instead of feet, lies that so much famed stone whereon the Patriarch Jacob is said to have reposed his head in the Plain of Luza, it is of a bluish steel-like colour, mixed with some eyes of red, triangular rather than any other form, and being broken resembles a Pebble. The ruins of the Chair itself shows that heretofore it hath been fairly painted, and gilt with Gold, but at present it is much defaced; you have a small Table of Verses hanging 
Vid. Ep. 116.  thereon, but by reason they give us little light concerning the ancient story of this stone and Chair, I shall trouble your patience with a short Narrative thereof, which is reported to have been first in Gallicia of Spain at Brigantia; where Gathel King of Scots there sat on it as his Throne. Thence it was brought into Ireland by Simon Breach, first King of Scots, who transplanted it into that Isle about seven hundred years before Christ. It was brought out of Ireland by King Ferguze, about 370 years afterwards, into Scotland; and in the year of our Lord 850 was placed at the Abbey of Scone (in the Sheriffdom of Perth) by King Kenneth, where the Coronation of his Ancestors usually had been celebrated, who caused this Distich to be engraven upon it, Ni fallat vatum, etc.  
And to be enclosed in this wooden Chair; Afterwards when Edward I. King of England had overcome John Balliol King of Scots in many Battles, he returned in the year 1297 to England, bringing with him great Spoils, among which this Throne, with the Crown and Sceptre of their Kings, were likewise taken, and offered by him here at the Shrine of St. Edward, and ever since hath been made use on as the accustomed Throne whereon our Kings do usually ●it on the days of their Inauguration. As to the Prophecy insculpt on this Stone, it seems happily to be accomplished sometime since, when James VI King of Scotland came to the Imperial Crown of England, whose Grandson and Heir, King Charles II. our present Sovereign, now enjoys it.  
§. 195. The North side of this 
Edw. I. King of England. vid. Ep. 100L.  Chapel is taken up by three noble Tombs; That towards the West is a plain Monument of grey Marble, raised about five foot from the ground, being on the right hand of the entrance, without any Inscription or adornments, more than a Table of Verses, hanging by to inform you, that Edward I. King of England, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, Lord of Ireland, and Son to King Henry III (by Eleanor, Daughter to the Earl of Province) lies there entombed. He took to Wife Eleanor, Daughter to Ferdinand III. King of Castille and Lions, who warred often with the Scots, and that successively, won Barwick, etc. and in the years 1308. died, and was buried here.  
§. 156. Eleanora, first Wife to this 
Eleanor●, Q▪ of England. vid. Ep. 100L▪  Edward King of England, lies under that neat Tomb North-east of the Feretory of St. Edward, whose Pedestal is composed of Freestone and grey Marble, whereon are the Arms of England, Castille, Leon, and Pontois engraven, with a Sepulchre painted on the backside, (to be seen in the Area) with divers Monks praying thereat, all in plano; on this Tomb is her Image in curious wrought Brass, gilded with Gold, her hair dishevelled, and falling in very comely order on her shoulders, her head crowned under a ●ine Canopy supported by two Cherubims of the same curious gilded Brass, half encompassed (on her left side) with a screen of Iron, wrought through in divers pleasant forms and delightful figures, an Epitaph carved on the ledge in French, and a Table hanging by in Latin and English Rhyme, to tell us further that she was only Daughter to Ferdinand III. King of Castille and Leon, by Joan his second Wife, Heir to Guydo Earl of Ponthieu, by which the Earldom of Ponthieu, devolved of right to the Kings of England▪ She was Mother of King Edward II. and died in the year 1298.  
§. 157. Between these two lie the 
Henry III, King of England. vid Ep. 108.  Father of this Edward King of England, viz. Henry III. under a most sumptuous Monument, made Altarwise, of three ascents, the first, containing only a plain Pedestal of grey Marble, wherein there be several Ambries and Lockiers, made use of heretofore to lay up the Vestments and rich Copes belonging to the Altar of St. Edward. The other is a composure of curious work, framed of divers coloured Marbles and glittering stones, resembling those on the Feretory of S. Edward, checkered, and gilt with Gold, supported at each corner by four twisted or Serpentine Columns of the same speckled Marble, all brought from beyond the Seas by his Son Edward on purpose to adorn this his Father's Sepulchre, on the top whereof is placed his Image in his Royal Habiliments, of solid Brass, curiously wrought and gilded with Gold, having a Lion at his feet, an half Canopy over his head, and an Epitaph in French round the ledge, all of the same gilded Brass, with a Table of Verses hanging by to let us know, that this Henry King of England, Son of King John, by Isabel, Daughter to the Earl of Angolesme, was a pious Prince, and highly to be commended for all virtues. He built the Chapel of our Lady▪ as I have said elsewhere; 
vid. §. 7▪  pulled down the Church of K. Edward, and erected that which is now standing, giving thereto many Royal Gifts, of Copes, Jewels, and rich Vessels, that it equalled in Riches all the Churches on this side the Alps; he made a golden 
Vid. §. 146.  Chest and Coffin wherein to repose the Relics of St. Edward, adorned his Shrine, translated his body into this Chapel prepared for him, and was himself, after he had reigned fifty six years and eighteen days, buried on the North side thereof, under this stately Monument, anno 1273.  
§. 158. There is another small Tomb 
Eliz. Daughter of Henry VII. vid. Ep. 113.  of black and grey Marble, on the North side of this Chapel, at the feet of King Henry III. which hath formerly been adorned with Brass, and a little Image thereon, but at present there is nothing remaining but part of the Model (being one Pillar thereof) of the Chapel of King Henry VII. to whose Daughter the Lady Elizabeth, which he had by his Queen, the Daughter of King Edward IU. this little Monument was placed, who died in the year 1493. being not much above one year old, and was buried under.  
§. 159. There are likewise on the 
Philippe Q. of England. vid. Ep. 112.  South side of this Chapel, or the Feretory of St. Edward three stately Monuments, and one little Tomb. Towards the East lies Philippe Queen of England, Wife to King Edward III. She hath a curious neat black Marble Tomb, with her Image thereon of polished Alabaster, her head crowned, and supported by two Angels of the same; round about the Pedestal are thirty sweetly carved Niches, wherein had been placed as many Images, with their Coats of Arms at their feet, expressing who they were, in Alabaster painted and gilded with Gold, as the remains of some of them at this day declare, which when entire were as follows. At the head, William Earl of Henault, Father to the said Queen; John King of France; Edward III King of England her Husband; Lodowick, the Emperor; and Edward, Prince of Wales, her eldest Son. At the feet, the King of Navarre, the King of Bohemia, the King of Scotland, the King of Sicily, and the King of Spain. On the left side of the Tomb, Joan Queen of Scotland; John of Eltham, Earl of Cornwall; Joan, Princess of Wales; Lionel, Duke of Clarence; Isabel, Countess of Bedford; John, Duke of Lancaster; Joan, Duchess of Clarence; Edmund, Earl of Cambridge; Joan, Duchess of Lancaster; and Thomas, Earl of Buckingham. On the right side, the Empress, Mother to the said Queen; her Brother also, Marcus, Duke of Gelderland; Eleanora, Duchess of Gelderland; John, Earl of Henault; Marry, Duchess of Britain, Lodowick, Duke of Bavaria; the Countess of Pembroke; Charles, Son to the King of France, and the Duke of Brabant. There is no Inscription or Epitaph about this Tomb, but a Table of Verses in Latin, and English Metre, declaring her exemplary piety and virtues, and that she was Daughter of William of Bavaria, Earl of Henault, who died in the year 1369. and was buried here.  
§. 160. By her, in another sumptuous 
Edward III. King of Engl. vid. Ep. 111.  and noble Monument, lies Edward III. her Husband, whose Image all of solid Brass, and gilt with Gold, in his Royal Robes, is placed on a frame of the same Brass, circumscribed with an Epitaph in Latin, and fixed to a Pedestal of grey Marble, round about which are many little Images still remaining, all of solid brass, richly enameled, and gilt with Gold, representing the Sons and Daughters of this mighty Prince; on the right side was Edward, Prince of Wales; Joan of the Tower given in marriage to the King of Spain; Lionel, Duke of Clarence; Edmund, Duke of York; Marry, Duchess of Britain; and William of Hatfield. On the left side, Isabel, Lady of Coucy; William, of Windsor; John, Duke of Lancaster; Blanch of the Tower; Margaret, Countess of Pembroke; and Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester. This Edward, the third of that name, King of England since the Conquest, was Son to Edward II. by Isabel, Daughter to Philip le Bell King of France, whose Brother dying without Issue, and she being the next Heir, this King Edward first laid claim to the Crown of France in right of his Mother, (notwithstanding their▪ Salic Law, by which the Females are barred from the Inheritance,) and prosecuted the War so successfully that he won Calais, recovered Aquitaine and Normandy; took John, King of France; and David King of Scots Prisoners, and adding the Arms and Title of France to his own, after he had reigned fifty years he died, and was buried here under this noble Monument, having a Table of Verses 
Vid. ●●. 111.  affixed thereunto in English and Latin meeter.  
§. 161. At the head of King Edward 
Richard II. King of England, and Anne his Queen. vid. Ep. 1●6, ●●●.  III. is the other stately Monument on this South side the Feretory of St. Edward, composed much after the like form with that foregoing, having two Images placed on a frame, and circumscribed with an Epitaph, all of solid brass, gilded with Gold, on a Pedestal of grey Marble, meanly adorned, whereunto is a Table affixed, informing us, that Richard II. King of England and France, and Lord of Ireland, with his first Wife Anne, who was Daughter to Wenceslaus King of Bohemia, and Emperor of the Germans, who died anno 1394. lie there interred. This Richard was Son to Edward, Prince of Wales, by Joan, Daughter to the Earl of Kent. After he had reigned twenty two years, he was deposed by Henry of Lancaster, and not long after (anno 1399.) was murdered, and buried at Langley among the Dominicans; but in the year 1414. his body was removed from thence by Henry V. King of England and nobly entombed here at Westminster, who caused to be erected this Monument over him.  
§. 162. Between this Tomb of King 
The Lady Margaret, Daughter of Edward IU. vid. Ep. 110.  Richard and that of Edward III. is a little small raised Monument of grey Marble, whereon hath been the Effigies of a Child engraven on Brass, now taken away, but so much of the Epitaph remaining, whereby may be gathered, that under that small Tomb lies Margaret, Daughter and fifth Child to Edward IV. King of England and France, and Lord of Ireland by the Lady Elizabeth his Wife, who was born the nineteenth day of April, Anno Dom. 1472. and died the eleventh of December following.  
§. 163. On this Tomb stands an old 
The Sword and Shield of King Edw. III.  rusty Sword, seven foot in length, and eighteen pounds in weight, with a Buckler or deep Shield, which are reported to be made use on by Edward III. in his Wars in France, and are placed on this Tomb adjoining to his Monument as a remembrance thereof.  
§. 164. The East side of this Chapel 
Henry V. King of England. vid. Ep. 1▪ 4.  of St. Edward is taken up by that magnificent Monument of Henry V. King of England, enclosed within a small Chapel by itself, arched, of curious worked stone, and set about with admirable carvings, Intaglios, and devices, as trees of Palm, Harts Royal, and Swans gorged, with Crowns, and chained thereunto. On the South side whereof is graved the Cavalcade and Ceremony of his own Coronation, and on the North that of his Queens, with the Archbishops, Bishops, and Nobility of the Realm assisting. On each side the curious Iron doors, composed of grate work, beholding the Shrine of St. Edward, are two large Statues of Mitered Abbots, with several other lesser Images of holy men and devout women among the Primitive Christians in the adjoining Niches: In the Chapel itself is a raised Tomb of grey Marble, whereon is nothing remaining but part of a wooden Image without the head, which being made (as it is said) of Silver, was sacrilegiously stolen from thence by the impious hands of some pretenders to Reformation, who have likewise deprived and stripped it of the fine embroidered and gilded Plates of brass, wherewith it was all over covered, leaving us nothing now to behold but the frame to which they were affixed On the South side of this Tomb is a Wooden Chest or Coffin, wherein part of the Skelleton and perched body of Katherine Valois his 
Katherine Q●. of England. vid. Ep. 115.  Qu. (from the waste upwards) is to be seen; of whom many fabulous stories are reported for her lying here: But the truth is, that when Henry VII. caused the old Chapel of our Lady (at the entrance whereof this Queen was interred) to be pulled down, the Workmen finding her Coffin among others to be well nigh perished and decayed, what remained of her body was taken thence, and placed in this Capsula nigh her Husband, where it hath continued ever since: Which is not frequently shown to any, but as an especial favour by some of the chief Officers of the Church. Over this Tomb is the Oratory or Chantry Chappel▪ where the Obiits of this King and Queen used to be celebrated, and their Anniversary's kept, there being two doors on each side the entrance, with stairs to ascend into the same, where the Saddle which this heroic Prince used in the Wars in France, with his Shield and other warlike furniture is to be seen. On the backside of this noble Monument towards the Area hath been several paintings and other adornments, which are now washed away and defaced; but there is still remaining an ancient Table in Latin and English meeter hanging thereon. This Henry 
Vid. Ep. 114.  was the Son of Henry IV. King of England, and France, and Lord of Ireland, who vanquished the French in many Battles, was by his Father made Regent of France, and after his death crowned King at Paris, who having married Katherine Valois, Daughter of Charles VI King of France, leaving Issue by her Henry VI King of England, etc. he died anno 1422. and was buried here. His Queen Katherine afterwards married Owen Teudor, descended from Cadwallader, the last King of the Britain's, by whom she had Edmund Earl of Richmond, Father to King Henry VII. Jasper Duke of Bedford, and Edward a Monk of Westminster. She died anno 1437.  
§. 165. The West side of this Chapel 
The West side of the Chapel of St. Edward.  of the Kings is wholly taken up by the Screen that separates the high Altar from this place, on the upper part whereof there is some indifferent Carving in Freestone, wherein much of the Life of St. Edward and the ancient History of this Church is represented. There are two doors, one on each side the same Screen, that serve more particularly on the days of the Coronation of our Kings and Queens for the conveniency of their retiring out of the body of the Church to refresh and recreate themselves here, where likewise they are divested of the Crown and Robes of St. Edward, by the Lord High Chamberlain of England, after the Solemnity ended at the Altar, and again arrayed in those rich and Royal Robes provided for them to wear that day, for which end there is a Traverse erected here on those days of Solemnity covered with Tapestry, and hung round with Arras for the greater splendour and Magnificence.  
§. 166. Coming back again (down 
The Area round the Chapel of St. Edward.  the same Stairs by which we ascended into this Chapel) into the Area, on the North side we may take notice of these few Monuments and Grave-stones; against the the back of the Tomb of Aveline Countess of Lancaster, is a small neat Monument of white Marble and Alabaster, adorned with Arms, and an Epitaph, nigh which there is a large Grave-stone of black Marble on the Pavement, both placed as a remembrance to that eminent and Loyal Prelate Brian Duppa, Tutor to his present 
Brian Duppa, Bishop of Winchester, vid. Ep. 152, 153.  Majesty, who was Dean of Christ-church, Bishop of Chichester and Salisbury, and upon the Restauration of the King to his Kingdoms after his Exile, was made Bishop of Winchester, and Prelate of the Garter, who dying anno 1662. in the seventy fourth year of his age was interred here. The Monument against the South Wall, being but lately erected for him.  
§. 167. In this Area lies John Doughty, 
John Doughty, S. T. D. vid. Ep. 154.  S. T. D. and a Prebendary of this Church, under a black Marble stone hard by the former, he died anno 1672, aged seventy five years. John Windsor, Nephew 
John Windsor. vid. Ep. 155.  to Sir William, lies under a stone covered with plates of brass obiit 1414. By whom lies William Amundisham, a 
William Amundisham. vid. Ep. 156.  Monk of Westminster, under another plated stone, he died anno 1420. A little higher is another fair Marble stone, covered with brass plates, and their Effigies graven thereon, for two more Monks of the same Abbey, viz. Thomas 
Thomas Brown. vid. Ep. 158. Humph. Roberts, vid. Ep. 158.  Brown, and Humphrey Roberts, dying anno 1508. A fourth plated stone is here to be seen, with Verses thereon, for one William Couper belonging to 
William Couper. vid. Ep. 157.  the Archbishop of York. Something lower is another Grave-stone for George Wild Esquire, who died anno 
George Wild. vid. Ep. 151.  1649.  
§. 168. In the South Area, hard by 
Sir Tho. Ingram. Knight. vid. Ep. 143.  the Chapel of St. Nicolas, towards the ascent of King Henry the Sevenths, is a comely Monument of Alabaster and white Marble, with an Urn placed on the top, for to remember Sir Thomas Ingram Knight, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and one of his Majesty's most honourable Privy Council; he died anno 1671. There is a small Monument of Alabaster and black Marble, adorned with Arms, and gilt with Gold, with the Busto or head of Richard Tufton Esquire, 
Richard Tufton Esquire. vid. Ep. 144.  between the Chapel of St. Edmund and St. Nicolas, who died anno 1631, and had this Monument erected here by his Brother Sir Humphrey Tufton for him. Against the North Wall, on this side the Area, adjoining to the Tomb of Henry V. is another small Monument of Alabaster, adorned with Arms, and plates of brass, several little Images carved thereon, with his head in the midst of the same brass gilt, for Robert Aiton Esquire, famous for 
Robert Aiton Esquire. vid. Ep. 142.  his Writings, Embassies, & exemplary Charity, who died at Whitehall, anno 1638.  
§. 169. On the Pavement are these 
James Cranfield, Earl of Middlesex. ●. vid Ep. 147. Lionel Cranfield Earl of Middlesex 3. vid. Ep. 145.  Grave-stones, towards the West, James Cranfield Earl of Middlesex, who died anno 1652. And Lionel Cranfield, Earl of Middlesex, one of the Bedchamber to his present Majesty, and second Son to Lionel, who was Lord High Treasurer of England, he died anno 1674. By whom likewise lies his 
Anne Countess of Middlesex, vid. Ep. 146. Edward Cranfield Esquire. vid. Ep. ●●8. Thomas Bilson Bishop of Winchester▪ vid. Ep. 140.  Mother the Lady Anne, who died anno 1669. and Edward Cranfield, who died anno 1649. Not far from these is a grey Marble stone, with a plate of brass thereon for Thomas Bilson Bishop of Winchester, and Privy Counsellor to King James, obiit anno 1616. There is a large grey Marble stone, with a little part of an Inscription, and a Coat of Arms still remaining in the brass, whereby so much light may be gathered that it was placed there for Sir John Golofre Knight, who was second 
Sir John Golofre Knight.  Husband to Philippe Lady Mohun, afterwards Duchess of York, he died anno 1396. By him is another plated stone for Cecil Ratcliff, chief 
Cecil Ratcliff. vid. Ep. 141.  Gentlewoman to the Lady Dudley. For the rest of the stones I can be at no certainty to whom they belong, and therefore I shall leave them without troubling you with my conjectures, only giving you the names of some who are 
Rich. de Barking, Abbot of Westminster.  said to be here deposited. Rich. de Barking Abbot of Westm. chief Baron of the Exchequer, and Lord Treasurer of England, who died an●o 1246, he was buried in our Lady's Chapel, and had a Tomb of Marble set up for him before the Altar there, which in the time of William de Colchester, Abbot likewise of this Monastery, was taken down by Friar Combe, a Sacrist of this Abbey, who laid a fair plain Marble stone over him, with an Epitaph inscribed in brass, which stone (among many others) was removed at the time when King Henry VII. built the new Chapel, and was placed at the foot of the steps ascending towards the same, on the East side of this Area. Henry, eldest 
Henry, Son to King Hen. VIII.  Son of King Henry VIII. by Queen Katherine of Spain, died an Infant, and was buried at the entrance into the Chapel of St. Edward. Ralph Selby▪ Doctor of Laws, who died anno 1420, was buried under a plated stone of grey Marble on the South part of this Area. Anne Buxal, Daughter of 
Ralph Selby. Anne Buxall,  Sir Alain Buxal Knight, and Wife to Sir John de Beverley, she died on the 
Sir John Beverley Knight.  second day of October, anno 14●6, and was buried under a plated Marble stone, not far from Ralph Selby. By her likewise lies her Husband Sir John Beverley Knight, under a like stone.  
§. 170. In the Chapel of St. Edmund were buried Margaret, D●ughter 
Marg Countess of Derby.  of Henry Clifford Earl of Cumberland, Wife of Henry Earl of Derby, who died anno 1596. and George 
George Brideman.  Brideman▪ Custos of the Queen's Palace at Westminster, he died anno 1580. By whom is likewise interred his Wife, who died anno 1590. Before the high Altar was buried one John 
John Leake Archbishop.  Leake, said to be an Archbishop, but I can find no such man in my Catalogues of the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, and therefore I can say no more of him. And now leaving this part of the Church, by the Monument of Brian Duppa, Bishop of Winchester, we are let into the North Cross again, where on the right hand, and against the East side are three small Chapels: The first is   

The Chapel of St. john Evangelist,  
§. 171. The Screen whereof was 
John Estney, Abbot of West. vid. Ep. 134.  made and adorned with several Carving and Coats of Arms, by John Estney, Abbot of this Monastery, painted, and gilt with Gold, who lies on the South side under a grey Marble Tomb, with his Effigies thereon curiously engraven on brass in the Vestments of his Office, with a Mitre on his head, and a Pastoral Staff in his right hand, having an Epitaph round the Verge, some part only remaining at this time sufficient to inform us that he died on the twenty fourth day of May, anno 1438.  
§. 172. Next to this is another grey 
Sir John Harpedon Knight.  Marble Tomb adjoining to the head of Abbot Estney, whereon is the Effigies of a Knight in Armour, curiously engraven on brass, and reposing his head on his Helm, with several Coats of Arms about the Tomb wrought in the same brass, but the Epitaph round the ledge is torn away, under which lies Sir John Harpedon Knight, who died anno 1457.  
§. 173. On the South side of this 
Sir Tho. Parry Knight. vid. Ep. 135.  Monument is another grey Marble Tomb, covered with a large stone, being nine foot long, and four foot broad, where round the Ledge is still remaining in brass an Epitaph, but the Verses and Coat of Arms (wherewith the top of this Marble stone was further adorned) are wholly perished, under which lies Sir Thomas Parry Knight, Treasurer of the Household, and Master of the Court of Wards and Liveries to Queen Elizabeth, who died on the fifteenth day of December, anno 1560.  
§. 174. In the midst of the floor of 
Sir Francis Vere Knight. vid. Ep. 133.  this Chapel is a most stately and Soldierlike Monument, every way suitable to the person for whom it was made, viz. for Sir Francis Vere Knight, descended from the illustrious Family of the Veres Earls of Oxford. He was Captain General of the English Forces in the united Netherlands in the time of Queen Elizabeth; and Governor of the Briel and Portsmouth, whose learned Commentaries, set forth by himself in the English Tongue, shows him no less a Master in the Art of War than learned in other Sciences; he died anno 1698, and had this noble Tomb erected for him by the Lady Elizabeth his Wife, where on a Pedestal of well polished black Marble, and an Epitaph in gilded letters round the Verge, lies his Image wrapped in a Nightgown, and reposing himself on a quilt, all of figured Alabaster, over which is a Table of Lydian or Touch, shadowing this Image in the nature of a Canopy, supported at the four Corners by as many Martial Knights in Armour, inclining their right knees towards the ground, and resting the Tomb on their shoulders, whereon is placed his Helm, Corsset, Curiass, Vibrace, Gauntlet, Spurs, and Shield, which together, with the Statues themselves at full proportion are all composed of admirable white Marble: That for curiosity and neatness this Tomb seems little inferior to any of the more magnificent Monuments I have described elsewhere.  
§. 175. Against the East Wall of this 
Sir George Holles Knight. vid. Ep. 132.  Chapel, at the feet of his fellow Soldier and Kinsman Sir Francis Vere, is another 〈…〉 nument erected by John Earl of Clare, to the remembrance of his Bro●●er Sir George Holles Knight, a great Soldier, and Sergeant Major General over the English Forces in the Low-Countries, who dying at London, anno 1626. was buried here. On a Pedestal (whereon is the Epitaph, with a Town beleaguered, well designed in basso relievo, and two weeping Pallas' in dejected postures lying on each side thereof, with Owls, the Emblems of Sagacity and Vigilance, standing by them,) is a commanding Statue of curious white polished Marble, boldly insculpt, and altogether furnitured like a Roman Hero, one of his eyes (supposed to be lost) covered with Sables, a Mantle falling from his shoulders, a Shield on his left Arm, whereon are depicted the Matches of his Family, and a Commanders Battoon in his right hand, seeming, like old Nestor, to be directing his battalions even after his death.  
§. 176. In this Chapel, without any Monuments, Tombs, or Grave-stones,

The Chapel of St. Michael,  
§. 177. Where there is only (on the

§. 187. According to my promise I have now given you what information you could reasonably expect in a subject of this nature, without imposing any thing upon you for truth that hath not the stamp and evidence of antiquity to confirm it, I shall therefore trouble you a little longer by leading you out of the Church into the adjoining Cloisters, which you are 
The Cloisters  let into by two Doors on the South side thereof, by that towards the West was the Picture of our Saviour Christ nailed to the Cross, the B. Virgin standing on one side, and S.

§. 188. For those Monuments of 
The Monuments.  the dead, which are to be found about these Cloisters, I shall not observe the like order and method as I did in the recital of the foregoing Monuments in the Church and Chapels, esteeming most of them of that inferior nature, that reading their Epitaphs and Inscriptions you will receive light enough concerning them. To which I shall refer you, and you will find towards the latter end of this Book among the Monumental Inscriptions: But there are four Grave-stones on the South side of this great Cloister that deserve our particular inspection, and for that they have no manner of Epitaph or Inscription now remaining, I shall not only inform you to whom they belong, but give you the ancient Verses formerly insculpt about them.

To whose memory the said Earl, her loving Lord and Husband, much lamenting her death, in testification of his great love towards her, and of his careful diligence in this doleful duty, doth consecrate this Monument.

Here lieth entombed the noble Duchess of Somerset Anne, dear Spouse unto the renowned Prince Edward Duke of Somerset, Earl of Hertford, Viscount Beauchamp, and Baron Seymour, Companion of the most famous Knightly Order of the Garter, Uncle to King Edward VI, Governor of his Royal Person, and most worthy Protector of all his Realms, Dominions, and Subjects, Lieutenant-General of all his Armies, Treasurer and Earl-Martial of England, Governor and Captain of of the Isles of Guernesey and jersey, under whose prosperous conduct glorious victory hath been so often and so fortunately obtained over the Scots, vanquished at Edinburgh, Leith, and Musselborough field.  
A Princess descended of noble Lineage, being Daughter to the worthy Knight Sir Edward Stanhoppe by Elizabeth his Wife, that was Daughter to Sir Foulk Bourchier Lord Fitz-warin, from whom our modern Earls of Bath are sprung, Son was he to William Lord Fitz-warin, that was Brother to Henry Earl of Essex, and John Lord berner's, whom William their Sire, sometime Earl of Ewe in Normandy, begat on Anne the sole Heir of Thomas of Woodstock Duke of Gloucester, younger Son to the mighty Prince King Edward III. and of his Wife Eleonore, Co-heir unto the tenth Humfrey de Bohun that was Earl of Hereford, Essex, and Northampton, High Constable of England.  
Many Children bore this Lady unto her Lord of either sort, to wit, Edward Earl of Hertford, Henry, and a younger Edward, Anne Countess of Warwick, Margaret, Jane, Mary, Katherine, and Elizabeth, and with firm faith in Christ, and in most mild manner rendered she this life at 90 years of age, on Easter day the sixteenth of April, anno 1587.  
The Earl of Hertford Edward her eldest Son, in this doleful duty careful and diligent, doth consecrate this Monument to his dear Parent, not for her honour, wherewith living she did abound, and now departed flourisheth, but for the dutiful love he beareth her, and for his last testification thereof.

Septimus Henricus tumulo requiescit in isto 
Round the bars of the outward Tomb.   
Qui Regum splendor, lumen & orbis erat;  
Rex vigil & sapiens, comes, virtutis amator,  
Egregius forma, strenuus atque potens.  
Qui peperit pacem regno, qui bella peregit  
Plurima, qui victor semper ab hoste redit:  
Qui natas binis conjunxit Regibus ambas  
Regibus & cunctis foedere junctus erat.  
Qui sacrum hoc struxit templum statuitque sepulchrum  
Pro se, proque sua conjuge, proque domo.  
Lustra decem atque annos tres plus compleverit annis:  
Nam tribus octenis regia sceptra tulit.  
Quindecies domini centenus fluxerat annus  
Currebat nonus, cum venit atra dies,  
Septima ter mensis lux tunc fulgebat Aprilis  
Cum clausit summum tanta corona diem.  
Nulla dedere prius tantum tibi saecula Regem  
Anglia, vix similem posteriora dabunt.   

Septimus hic situs est Henricus Gloria Regum 
Round the Ledge or Verge of the inner Tomb.   
Cunctorum, ipsius qui tempestate fuerunt,  
Ingenio atque opibus gestarum & nomine rerum,  
Accessere quibus naturae dona benignae:  
Frontis honos, facies augusta, Heroica forma:  
Junctaque ei suavis conjux perpulchra, pudica,  
Et foecunda fuit, foelices prole parentes,  
Henricum quibus octavum terra Anglia debes.   
Hic jacet Henricus ejus Nominis septimus, 
Under the King's Image.  Angliae quondam Rex Edmundi Richmondiae comitis filius, qui die 22. Augusti Rex creatus statim post apud Westmonasterium die 30. Octobris Coronatur, Anno Domini 1485. moritur deinde 21. die Aprilis, anno aetatis 53 Regnavit annos 23. menses 8. minus uno die.

EULOGIUM 
On a Table adjoining to the Monument.  Per Skeltonida laureatum Oratorem Regium.  

Huc pia Calliope propera mea casta puella  
Et mecum resona carmina plena Deo:  
Septimus Henricus Britonum memorabilis heros,  
Anglica terra tuus magnanimus Priamus.  
Attalus hic opibus, rigidus Cato, clarus Acestes  
Sub gelido clausus marmore jam recubat.  
Sic honor omnis, opes, probitas, sic gloria Regum,  
Omnia mutabunt mortis ad imperium.  
Anglia num lacrymas? rides, lacrymare quid obstas?  
Dum vixit lacrymas: dum moritur, jubilas.  
Tanta tamen penses, dum vixerat Angligenenses  
Vibrabant enses: bella nec ulla timent,  
Vndique bella fremunt nunc, undique praelia surgunt.  
Noster honor solus filius ecce suus.  
Noster honor solus, qui pondera tanta subire  
Non timet: intrepidus arma gerenda vocat.  
Arma gerenda vocat, superi sua coepta secundent  
Vt quatiat Pallas aegida saepe rogat:  
S●rs tamen est versanda diù, sors ultima belli  
Mirmidonum Dominus Marte silente ruit.  
Et quem non valuit, validis superare sub armis  
Mars: tamen occubuit insidiis Paridis:  
Nos incerta quidem pro certis ponere rebus  
Arguit, & prohibet Delius ipse pater.  
Omnia sunt hominum dubio labentia fato,  
Marte sub incerto militat omnis homo:  
Omne decus nostrum, nostra & spes unica tantùm,  
Jam bene qui regnat, hunc Jovis umbra tegat.  
Vt quamvis mentem labor est inhibere volentem,  
Pauca tamen liceat dicere pace sua;  
Pace tua liceat mihi, nunc tibi dicere pauca  
Dulce meum decus, & sola Britanna salus.  
Summa rei nostrae remanet, celeberrime Princeps,  
In te praecipuo qui modò sceptra geris.  
Si tibi fata favent, faveant precor atque precabor,  
Anglia tunc plaude, sin minùs, ipsa vale.   
Polichronitudo Basileos.  

Tetrastichon veritatis.  
Foelix qui bustum formasti Rex tibi cuprum,  
Auro si tectus fueras, fueras spoliatus,  
Nudus prostratus, tanta est rabiosa cupido  
Vndique nummorum: Rex pace precor requiescas.   
Amen.

Nobilis Anchises, armis metuendus Atrides,  
Hic erat: hunc Scotus Rex timuit Jacobus.  
Spiramenta animae vegetans dum vescitur aura,  
Francorum populus conticuit pavidus.  
Immensas sive divitias cumulasse quid horres?  
Ni cumulasset opes forte Britanne luas.  
Vrgentes casus tacita si ment volutes:  
Vix tibi sufficeret aurea ripa Tagi  
Ni sua te probitas consulta ment laborans  
Rexisset satiùs, vix tibi tuta salus.  
Sed quid plura cano: meditans quid plura voluto,  
Quisque vigil sibi sit, mors sine lege rapit:  
Ad Dominum qui cuncta regit pro principe tanto,  
Funde preces quisquis carmina nostra legis.   
Rifrigerii sedem, quietis Beatudinem, Luminis habeat claritatem.  
Amen.

Death is too doleful, which doth join  
T●● high estate full lo:  
Which coupleth greatest things with least,  
And last with first also;  
N● man hath been in world alive,  
●or any there may be,  
Which can escape the dint of death,  
Needs hence depart must we.  
O noble and victorious man.  
Trust not unto thy strength,  
For all are subject unto death,  
And all must hence at length.  
Most cruel fate from worldly stage  
Hath rest a worthy Wight;  
For whom all England mourned loud  
To see his doleful plight:  
Edward is dead, which was adorned  
With divers graces here,  
A King or fragrant Nardus height,  
A gracious Princely Peer.  
In heart, the which was Lybard like,  
Right puissant, void of fear:  
Most ●ow to strife, discreet, and wise,  
And gracious every where.  
In Arms a Giant fierce and fell,  
Attempting famous Facts,  
Most prudent did subdue the proud  
By feat of martial Acts:  
In ●●nders Fortune gave to him  
By lot right good success;  
In Wales he won: the Scottish rout  
With Arms he did suppress.  
This King without his like alive  
Did firmly guide his Land:  
And what good nature could conceive,  
He had it plight at hand.  
He was in justice, and in peace,  
Excelling: Laws took place,  
Desire to chase all wicked works  
Did hold this Kings good grace.  
He now doth lie entombed here,  
Which furthered each good thing,  
Now nought he is but dust and bones,  
Which was a worthy King.  
The very Son of God, whom erst  
This King did love right dear  
Hath given to him immortal blisses  
For his good living here.     


Otherwise.  

Whilst lived this King, by him all things  
W●re in most godly plight:  
Fraud lay hid, great peace was kept,  
And honesty had might.   Pactum Serua.

O merciful God what a Prince was this,  
Which his short time in martial acts spent,  
In honour of conquest that wonder to me it is,  
How he might compass such deeds excellent,  
And yet for that his mind nothing detent,  
All ghostly health for his soul to provide,

So though I had Tully his eloquence,  
Or of Seneca the grave morality,  
Or of Solomon the perfect sapience,  
Or the sweet Ditties of Dame Calliope;  
Yet might I not in Prose, or other ditty,  
Accordingly advance this Prince's fame,  
Or with due honour to enhance the same.   

Considering his Acts, whereof parcel appear  
In this rude work, with many more left out,  
The time also was less than ten year▪  
That he so shortly brought all things about,

And four days space they honoured God,

In whose Empire a Frenchman was,  
And eke an English wight.  
Under no lucky Planet born,  
Unto himself, nor Throne:

Alive and dead these Walls he will defend,

Like rising flames expanding in their height,  
The Martyr's Glory crowned the Soldiers Fight.  
More bravely British General never fell,  
Nor General's Death was e'er revenged so well,  
Which his pleased Eyes beheld before their close,  
Followed by thousand Victims of his Foes.  
To his lamented loss for time to come,  
His pious Widow consecrates this Tomb.
