TO The RIGHT HONOURABLE FRANCIS Lord GVILFORD, LORD KEEPER OF THE GREAT SEAL OF England, etc.  
MY. LORD,  
THE welfare of Mankind hath so necessary a Dependence upon Laws, and the Administration of Justice, that by the Vote of all Ages, The Profession of the Law hath ever been ranked amongst the most Honourable Callings. Perhaps in the Judgement of many, it would not have become any Person, less eminent than Cicero, to have said, Cedant Arma Togae; And yet, if a good Peace be the end and only justifiable ground of War, and if it be true what Philosophy teacheth us, That the End is always more noble than the Means, I do not well see how the Consequence will be avoided, in Favour and Preferrence of the Gown. But this small Treatise hath nothing to do with such Polemical Debates; It only designs to set down, and enumerate those Illustrious Families of our Nation, which have been raised to Honour and Wealth by the Profession of the Law: The very Nature of the Subject, does in a manner entitle it to your Lordship's Protection, who are in yourself the greatest Example of this kind, and the greatest Ornament of the Law, in this, or any Age. Others have owed their Preferments in Honour and Estate to the Law, To which your Lordship is much more a Creditor, than a Debtor: When we consider your Nobility of Extraction, Eminency of Parts, and above all, your Inviolable Integrity, we are all bound to confess, that you brought with you more Honour to the Gown, than you receive from it. But these great Truths are not fit to be spoken by so mean a Person, as I am who shall be too much honoured in being permitted to lay myself with this small Tribute at your Lordship's Feet, and to make a Profession of being,  
My Lord, Your Honours most Obedient and most humble Servant H. Philipps.   

TO THE READER.  
THE Method I have taken, is first of all to Enumerate so many of the present Nobility of England, and such Englishmen whose Titles of Honour are in Scotland and Ireland, (of which there are but few) as by the Study and Practice of our Laws, eminent Preferments, and Places of Trust and Profit relating thereunto, are risen and advanced to such their Dignities; and according to the times of their respective Creations, have placed them with all Circumspection; Yet I do not insist that they are ranked without any Error, but submit it to the Judgement of those better read in Matters of that Nature: It may be Objected, That I ought not to have preferred the Scots and Irish Nobility any otherwise than according to such English Honours as they are here invested with, and truly they ought not; but in regard they were but few, I thought it would not be improper to place them next after our English Nobility according to their Titles.  
The next Degree are the Baronet's, which being an Hereditary Title, I have with the like Care placed them persuant to the Date of their several Patents.  
And as to the Knights and Esquires, forasmuch as there is not any material Precedency claimed or used, I have placed those Degrees promiscuously as they came to my hands, without the least design or intention of Injury to them or any of them, and hope it will be so taken.  
There have been many Families both of Nobility and Gentry, as have been raised by the means abovementioned, besides such as I have expressed in this Book, who are now become Extinct as to their Names, though perhaps their Estates have been United to some other Families by Daughters and Heirs, but being it is difficult to point particularly at such Families to whom such Estates were carried, and lest it might be offensive, I have not in the least meddled therewith.
