Thefe were formed with a view to define the function or duty of the officer in the difcharge of the truft repofed in him ; and the perquifites and rewards to which he became juftly intitled; and alfo to correct the abufes, which from time to time crept into the offices of the Houfehold, from the exercife of encroached power. Thefe eftabliffiments of our ancient Sovereigns preferve much curious and ufeful information ; they (hew the manner in which the Royal Perfon was attended upon when in full court, and at publick feffivals, and affemblies ; and how conducted when upon journeys and pro- greffes in the country ; they convey a juft idea of the manner of living at the different periods to which they relate ; and of the expence in- curred for the fupport of the dignity of our fovereigns and their fa- milies ; and they point out the ftation, duty, and perquifites, of every officer and fervant of the Court, when the office was newly eflablifhed ; or when experience made it neceffary to introduce frefh regulations. b Splendour .Splendour and magnificence are the confequent accompaniments upon dignified {rations; but even in thefe the cuftoms of different times had great prevalence. We are told by a learned ^Writer *, that it was the manner of the Normans in particular to affecft fplendour. 44 The Kings 44 of England of that race,” he fays, 44 were exceeding pompous, 44 both in Court and Camp. In their Court they {hewed their magni- 44 licence in the llatelinefs of their palaces; the richnefs of their 44 furniture ; the fplendour and number of their retinue ; the plenty 44 of their provifions ; and the like. The Court was the centre of 44 refort for all the Barons and great men of the realm, who being Peers 44 of the King’s Court, gave, as oecafion required, their attendance 44 there, and more particularly, as many of them were inverted with 44 the great offices of the King’s Court. The fplendour of the King’s 44 Court appeared very much, in the confluence of the nobility and 44 chief men of the realm ; and in the greatnefs of his officers, or 44 minifters.” And, in confirmation of this opinion of the ufage of thofe times, the accurate Stow informs us f, 44 that, when William ** Rufus, being returned out of Normandy into England, kept the 44 feaft of Whitfuntide very royally, at Weftminfter, in the New Hall, 44 which he had lately caufed to be built there, being 270 feet in 44 length, and 74 feet in breadth; and having heard it faid that the u Hall was too big, he anfwered, this Hall is not big enough by 44 one half, and is but a Bed-chamber in comparifon of what I mind to 44 make.” King Stephen, we are told J, foon after his acceflion to the Throne, and the interment of King Henry I. held a mo ft fplendid Court at Eafier in London. 44 Rediens autem Rex Stephanus in * Madox, in his valuable Hiflory of the Exchequer, Chap.

To give fome idea of it in a few words, above 30,000 difhes were ferved up at the Marriage <£ Dinner.” But the nuptials of Alexander III. King of Scotland, and the Princefs Margaret of England, were folemnized at York in the year 1252, with Rill greater pomp and profufion. i( If I attempted,” fays the fame ele- gant hiftorian, “ to difplay all the grandeur of this folemnity, the “ numbers of the noble and illuftrious guefts, the richnefs and variety “ of the dreffes, the fumptuoufnefs of the fealfs, the multitudes of the a minffrels, mimicks, and others, whole bufinefs it was to amufe and (i divert the company ; thole who were not prefent, would imagine 66 that I was impofing upon their credulity. One particular will enable u them to form a judgement of the whole. The Archbifhop of <c York made the King of England a prefent of lixty fat oxen ; w hich ii made only one article of provilion for the marriage-feaft, and were <c all confumed at that entertainment.” King Edward I, preparatory to his Coronation-feaft in 1274, di- rected his precepts to J the fheriffs of feveral counties, “ to purchafe * Mathew Paris, Edit. 1684, p. 53. ■f Rymer’s Feed. tom. II. p. 21. b 1 and 44 and fend up to London, 278 bacon hogs, 450 porkers, 440 fat oxen, u 430 fheep, 22,600 hens and capons, and 13 fat goats.’’ The fplendour and hofpitality of the Court of King Richard II. was fuch that, we are told *, 44 wherefoever he lay, his perfon was guarded 44 by 200 men ; he had about him thirteen bifhops; befides barons, 44 knights, efquires, and others; infomuch that to the Houfehold came 44 every day to meat, 10,000 people.” The excefs of diet and provifions had become fo great, and the con- fequences were likely to prove fo detrimental to the nation, that King Edward II. in the 9th year of his Reign, found it neceffary to iffue a proclamation to refcrain it. This Ordinance Rated f, 44 that, by the out- 44 rageous and exceffive multitude of meats and difhes, which the great 44 men of the kingdom ufed in their cables, and by perfons of inferior 44 rank imitating their example, beyond what their Rations required, 44 and their circumflances could afford, many great evils had come 44 upon the kingdom, the health of the King’s fubjedts had- been 44 injured, their property confumed, and they had been reduced to 44 poverty; but the King being defirous to put a flop to fuch exceffes, 44 with the advice and confent of his Great Council, had ordained; 44 That the great men of the kingdom fhould have only two courfes « of ReRi meats ferved up to their tables; each courfe conflfling only 44 of two kinds of flefli meat: except Prelates, Earls, Barons, and the 1* great men of the land, who might have an intermeat (une entre- u mefe J) of one kind of meat if they pleafed. On fiih days they * Stow’s Annals, p; 32.3. 4 Ryley’s placita Parliamentaria, p. 552, from the Claufe Roll of 9 Edw. II. m. 26. dorfoi f Thefe intemieats feem to have confided of delicacies introduced between the courfes, and defigned rather for gratifying the tafte than for fatisfying hunger. u fhould “ fhould only have two courfes of fifh, each confuting of two kinds, with an intermeat of one kind of fifh, if they thought fit. And thofe “ who fhould tranfgrefs this ordinance fhould be feverely punifhed.” Thefe in fiances and authorities are fufficient to give fome idea of the profufion and hofpitality which prevailed in the Houfeholds of fome of Qur former Monarchs; and point out the necelfity of forming Regulations ^ r the government of thofe who were employed therein. Of thefe gulations and eftablifhments, we will now proceed to give a concife recount. c a The Houfehold Book of King Henry II. preferved in the Black Book of the Exchequer, is printed by Mr. Hearne, Liber Niger, vol. I. p. 341; which makes it unneceflary to infert it in this Collection. The duty and perquifites of the officers are there briefly Hated. But no complete account occurs previous to the reign of King Edward I. A moll curious one of the 30th year of that reign, hath been already publifhed by this Society ; but in that valuable Record, the department of the Houfe- hold is wanting. The firft Eftablifhment here printed % is of King Edward III. from the 1 8th to the 2 ift year of his reign, and comprifes both the war and peace expences, chiefly thofe of the army and navy; but not any flatutes or regulations for the government of the Houfehold, which are the principal objects of this Collection. The next is the Houfehold of King Henry VI. in the 33d year of his reign t m9 but this contains little more than the number and names * Edward III. p. 3—12. 4 Henry VI. p. 15—24.. ©f of the different officers and fervants allotted by the Lords of the Coun- cil for his Majefty’s fervice during his illnefs. The next are the Ordinances for the government of the perfon of Prince Edward *, fon of King Edward IV. and of his Houfehold and Officers; which contain many curious particulars. Then follow the Orders and Rules of the Houfe of thePrincefs Cecil], mother of King Edward IV t. which fhew the manner of living of a lady of high rank at that period of time. The next in order of time, is the <s Liber Niger Domus Regis a Anglic,” or the “ Black Book of the Houfehold,” compiled in the Reign of King Edward IV t; which being more full than any of the for- mer, and all the fubfequent Ordinances and Regulations having refer- ence to this work, it will be ufeful to give a more minute account of what it contains. The compiler of the exordium or introduction to the Houfehold-book of King Edward IV §. treats upon the neceffity there is for great Monarchs to have large Houfehold Eftabliffiments. Ele delcants upon the wifdom of King Solomon, in the obfervance of good rules, appoint- ments, and ordinances by his Minifcers, which fupported his fplendour and magnificence, and gained the affection of his people. In England, he inftances King Lud, as being famous for his houfehold and great hofpitality. King Caffibellan, he tells us, for one feflival flew, 40,000 kyne and oxen; 100,oco fheep; 30,000 deer, and other * Prince Edward, p. 27*—22*. 4- Princefs Cecil!, p. t Edward IV. p. 15-86. § P. 15—20. wild wild beads of the wood ; befides poultry, wild-fowl and tame, of fea and land, with other purveyance of victuals; on which occafion were introduced many difguifings, plays, minftrelfy, and fports. King Hardeknute, he calls a father nourifher of familiarity, famous for the great abundance of his provifions, and for cunning cooks in curiofitie. King Henry I. bore the fame of an excellent meat-giver, and was re- puted by the people as a young Solomon, (( for his riches, great no- “ bleffe, wifdom, love, and largeffe.” But the houfe of King Edward III. he fays, i( was the houfe of very policy, and flower of England ; the “ fil’d fetter of certainty among his domefticks upon a grounded rule ; “ he appointed duties to his offices and officers by a formal and conve- nient cuftumal, more certain than was ufed before his time ; he “ framed his new flatutes, commandments, and charges, upon every (( officer inward and outward ; and exercifed his aits in honour and a and profit to himfelf, and to the favour and great eafe of all his liege ii people.”—Upon the ground-work of thofe Statutes, and to correct abufes which had been fubfequently introduced, King Edward IV. with the advice of his Great-Council, of Lords Spiritual and Temporal, the Cardinal of Canterbury, George Duke of Clarence, Richard Duke of Gloucefler, the wife and difcreet Judges, and other well-advifed and learned men of England in all improvements, many of them having long time had great knowledge of the expence and conduit of King’s houfes, upon many prudent proofs, and long ftudied deliberations, by their whole affent formed the inftruitions which are contained in that book ; wherein the Royal Court is defined to confift of all intermix- tures, weighed by wifdom and vvorlhip, profit and reafon, anfwering to every Rate and degree ; whereby every officer fhould have fufficient power in all truth to perform the King’s fervice honourably ; fo that the King fhould have his goods and provifions duly expended, but not wafted. After After thus dating the motives for forming this Book, and the manner in which it was made; the compiler proceeds to date the annual charge of the Royal Eftablilhment contained therein, to amount to t 3,000 /. Under the feveral heads of Diet for the Houfehold for general life, and on extraordinary feftivals ; for wines of different kinds—obla- tions—rewards and fees—for horfes and carriages—wages of the keepers of hawks, falcons, and other amufements: and for robes for knights, officers, efquires, clerks, valets, pages, and inferior fer- vants-—The fervices of meat and drink of all forts, for the King’s Royal Perfon—the allowance of lights and fire for his rooms and chamber— and of litter and rufhes for his beds and palletts—the offerings to be made by the King on the principal feftivals of the year; viz. at Chrift- mas, Eafter, Whitfuntide, and All-hallow-tide, of 6 s. 8d. called a noble of gold ; and for his daily offerings to the Dean of the Chapel, a plate of gold of the value of feven-pence—alfo the offerings to the Crofs on Good Friday; for medicinable rings of gold and filver, delivered to the Jewel-Houfe—and the yearly offering at the fhrine of St. Tho- mas, at Canterbury, in the name of Chyvyage, three florins of gold, from the privy coffers. The officers attendant upon the King’s Chamber, are appointed to be, the Camberlain ; the Confeflor; Knights; Chaplains; Squires for the Body ; Phifitian and Surgeon ; Gentlemen-ufhers; Yeomen of the Robes, of the Beds, of the Crown, and of the Chamber ; and Grooms waiters; and fuch ftrangers as fhould be thought fit to be admitted. * P. 21. per ann 11m, 1. s. d.

The ordinances made for the rule and guiding of the Houfehold, of George Duke of Clarence, next follow, and contain many curious regulations for the condudt of his officers and attendants; and the elfimated proportions and charges, for the fupply of the Houfehold, with wines, meat, and proviflons of all forts, for a whole year. This eftabliffiment includes the expence of the Rabies; wages and fees of the Houfehold ; alms ; and gowns for the officers; and amounts only to 45051. 14s. iojd.

The Articles appointed by King Henry VII. * define the duty of the Gentlemen Uthers, and direct the order of fitting in ftate of the nobles of the realm, in the prefence of the Sovereign, upon all publick occa- fions and feftivals of the year. The manner of proceeding at the Co- ronation of a King, and of a Queen ; the deliverance of a Queen, and preparing of the royal bed; the chriflening of a Prince or Princefs, and arraying the child; the.creation of a Prince; the marriage of a Princefs; and the burying of a Prince, or of a perfon of high rank. Thefe articles are very full, and contain a minute cTefcription of the ceremonies they relate to. The Statutes made at Eltham the yth of Henry VIII. t were devifed by the King, with the advice of his Council, for the eftablifhmerit of good order, and the reformation of fundry errors and mifufes in his moil honourable Houfehold and Chamber. Thefe Statutes confift of 79 Chapters, and diredd the attendance and conduct of the different officers of the court. After which, follows the declaration of Bouche of Court f, expreffing the particular articles of diet, wine, and other things, to be ferved to every perfon being of the Ordinary of the King’s Houfe- hold according to their refpeddive degrees. The names of the officers are given with their payments and falaries : alfo the name of the disfhes ferved up in meffes to the royal table § at dinner and flipper, on fleffi days, and on fffii days; and the quantity and price of every article fo provided. The tables for all the different officers and fervants then follow, expreffing in like manner the number of meffes, and the price of each meffe to be ferved at dinner and flipper, at the refpedtive tables.

A book containing the oaths of the Lieutenant and Standard Bearer, and the fervice and duties of the Gentlemen Penfioners in 1601, then follow t. And the Book of the Houfehold of Queen Elizabeth in the 43d year of her reign %} delivered to King James I. upon his acceffion to the crown. This book contains the names, duties, and perquifites, of the different offices and officers. Ordinances for the governing and ordering the King’s Houfehold made the 17th of July, 1604, 2d James I. J to diminifh the expence of the tables, by reducing the number of the diffies, and allowing board wages to many of the offices in lieu of their tables. Thefe ordinances likewife reftrain the confumption of the wines, more efpecially the wine, called Jacke\ which is faid to have been ufed rather for wantonnefs and forfeiting, than for neceffity, to a wasteful expence; the confump- tion of that wine was therefore limited to twelve gallons a day. Bouge of Court, or Diet, to the Ordinary of the Houfehold is then declared, according to their refpedtive degrees. The affignation of the Lands and Revenues appointed for the fupport of Prince Henry, the 9th of May, 1610 || : this amounts 10^19,322, 7s. 7d. per annum.

Orders and Regulations for the government of the Queen’s Houfehold made May 1, 1627*3 figned by their Majefties: and further Orders figned in November, 1631. Thefe Orders point out the duty of the officers and fervants of the Queen in the Guard-chamber; the Prefence- charnber; the Privy-chamber ; the Withdrawing-chamber; the Bed- chamber; and the Privy-clofet ; and the oaths to be taken by the re- fpedlive officers : and a lift of thofe upon her Majefly’s eftablifliment. Ordinances made by King Charles II. for the government of his floufehold f. Thefe Ordinances diredt the manner of preparing in- firm perfons who reforted to the King's Court to be healed; and renew the ancient order, ci that if any of the Court fliould be reputed to be, a “ prophane perfon, an outrageous rioter, a ribald, a notorious drunkard, “ fwearer, railer, or quarreller, a fugitive from his mailer, a bankrupt, <6 fufpedled for a pilferer or a thief, or otherwife fo vitious and unman- “ nerly as to be unfit to live in virtuous and civil company, he fliould il be convened before his fuperior officer to be examined, and thereupon u admonifhed or punifiied as caufe fliould require; and fuch as were u found incorrigible to be banifhed the Court.” And ordain that none fliould be recommended or admitted to any office or place of fervice in Court who was not a feemly perfon, of hone ft birth and fitting educa- tion, well difpofed in religion, and of virtuous and fober carriage. * Queen Confort, p. 340—351. -f- King Charles II. p. 352—379. 3 Thefe Thefe Ordinances then define the duty of the Yeomen of the Guard, the Gentlemen Ufliers, Daily-waiters, and Quarter-waiters ; the Band of Penfioners ; in the Clofet, Chapel, Privy-chamber, Privy-gallery, Bed-chamber, Wardrobe, Council-table, and Waiters table. And there are additional regulations made in the fame reign, for the Gentlemen Ufhers; which point out many particulars of the duty of thofe officers. The Eftablifhment of the Household of King William and Queen Mary, A. D. 1689% with refpecft to the yearly charge for their Majeflics Diet, and incidents for Houfekeeping of wages and board-wages to the of- ficers and fervants of the Houfe, Chambers, and Stables; the expence of the Chapel; provifions for horfes; and allowances, ftipends and pen- fions to old and fupernumerary fervants and widows. By this account it appears, that the charge for their Majeffies diet or table, was .£3,400, per annum. And that the yearly expence of the whole of the Eftablifhment, for the feveral departments here fpecified, was 76,0381. 14s. od. Then follow fome ordinances to be obferved for regulating the Ac- compts and the well governing of the Houfe; commanding that all Ordinances, Rules, Articles, and directions whatever, expreffed and fet down in former Books of Eftablifhment, which might be ufeful for the King’s fervice, fhould be continued and obferved ; and the fame were thereby ratified and confirmed. With this Eftablifhment it hath been thought fit to terminate the feries of thefe curious and intereftine: documents. It may be proper to obferve, that the Copy from whence thefe Col- lections have been printed, hath been compared and collated with all the authentick tranfcripts of the refpeCtive Ordinances which could be found in the Britifh Mufeum and other Repofitories. The Ortho- graphy of the Originals hath been carefully preferved ; and notwiths- tanding the language may at the firft view appear to be difficult in fome parts, and the meaning obfcure to the modern reader, yet, it is hoped, that the attentive perufer of thefe Records will readily compre- hend their general fignffication ; and will receive inftruCtion and amufe- ment from the comparifon to be made between the phrafeology of the different periods of time which thefe collections relate to. The Specimens of Ancient Cookery, added to thefe documents, will greatly affiff us in forming an idea in what manner many of the Dilhes mentioned to be ferved to the Royal tables, were compofed and prepared; and on that Account will not be deemed an improper Supple- ment to thefe Collections.—Many limilar Receipts may be found in that curious morfel of Antiquity, called u the forme of Cury” printed from a MS. in the poffeffion of the late Guftavus Brander, Efq. and elucidated by the labour and ingenuity of our learned Brother the Rev.

DOMUS REGIS EDWARDI TERTII, was the houfe of very polycie and fiov/re of Englond, the run'l letter of certeynties among his domeftycall meyne, vppon a grounded rule. JNotwithltandyng his fader, the feconde Edwarde, made many good cufiomcs of houfehold; thereof one to Le remembred fpecially was, to breede upp beeves and motonn.es in his pu'rkes, fufficiaunt to ferve. his houfehold ; and in no dayes afore that tyme were vfed noe fees of no manner vytayle purveyed for the expenfes of the lioufhold, to be taken by any officer to his proper vfe, of any thing that mought ferve to this houfehold honeftly. Alfo he, this thirde Edward, appointed diverfe duties vnto his offices and officers, by a formal and convenient cultume*, mote certayne than was vfed by fore his tyme, that is to fay, of all wages within court and without; all manner of lyveres of wynter and fomer; the fees of all eRates, and of officers and houfholde, and degrees, as well of yeftes of money, fees of belles, and alio fees of other Ruffe perufed, or otherwife occupied within the court, and towching if, the nuinbyr aifo of officers thorough all Englond, as Well of his houfehold, and thaire clothing for wynter and fomer, as of all other officers outward. This noble Ed- ward had greate richeifie of his lordez, and grete love of his comynautie, and among his counfellers greete ll'udye, how to make hem riche by polycy uppon Rraungers oute landes; and, after his riche lie was purchefed, his fayde lordes of counfayle fought many wayis, and clevyfed and compared how they might afiertayn the Kinges houfe, whiche was lo long and delufe a worke in theyre Rudye to refourme the people of theyre old law, that this king prayed his lordes to lur.celfe of theyre grete and a!molt endles labour-, and hymfelf take all on hand. And whereas, in the begynnyng, hymfelf was liberal!, aftyr he did fui ft .refourme hymfelf and all that would be dwellers in his houfehold; and fo he framed all his new Ratutes, com maun d men tes, and charges, uppon every officer inward and outward , * Tiie Cull mal here referred to is printed before, p. 3. to p. 12. and £ 9 and To he exercifcd his aftes in honour and profit to hymfelf and to the favour and grete eafe of all his liege people.

Alfo in fofne one office were ii maiftyrs, the clerk of kychyn devyded fro the pantry; the Butteler of Englond for the molt part, and diverfe other offices and officers, both changed in name and dede, as well fergeaunts of armes and meffingers many, with xxiiii archers a foote before the King, fhoting whan he rode by the contrie called Garde Corps le Roy ; and therefore the King journeyed, not palling x or xii myles on a day; and as other officers in houfehold then havyng grete labour, and tooke neither wages, nor clothing fees, exprefled by the Statutes, where- on was greete perill; and alfo the lyvery for horfes at bouge of court, of gentlemen, and many other requiryng a grete bufynes that now is lefte and put into filver to increfd theyre wages. This King appoynted of offices outward to rewarde his houfehold fervices after theyre delertes to be parkers, foine forefters, waryners, kepers of manors, baylywicks, conftablefhippes, porterfhippes, receivours, corrodyes, wardes, marriages, and many other thinges of value, in portes and townes, cnees, &c. and for his chapelmen, chyrches, pre- bendes, free chapelles, and penfions, &c. when any fuche fell in his gifte, or dies by his lettres of contemplation, to gette fuche benyfece of any other lord for his houfehold-man.

DOMUS REGIS MAGNIF1CENCIE, fex habet proprietates; quarnm prim a eft, quod magnificus affimilatur fcienti quia ficut ad fcientem artificem pertinet cognitio unius ad aliud; ita etiam ad magnificum pertinet cognofcere proportionem expenfarum ad iliud in quo fuerint expenfe. Secunda eft, quod magnificus expendit magna et decentia propter bonum honeftum ficut propter finem. Tertia eft, quod magnificus dele&abiliter expendit eaque expendit et non cum triftitia quia quod aliquis fit multum diligens in ratiocinio et computatione ex- penfarum hoc pertinet ad pervificentiam. Quarta eft, quod magnificus intendit quum facit opus optimum decentiffim'um, quantum multum poffit expendere ad opus intentum faciendum. Quinta eft, quod magnificus expendit ficut oportet, et quum oportet, et hoc circa magna et decentia, quia magnificentia eft fuper habundans liberalitas ficut et in do- mefticts expenfis. Sexta eft, quod magnificus facit opus admirabile et excellens cum magni- tudine expenfarum fummis etiam magnificus et liberalis et non converfo. Et fic magni- ficentia non extenditur. folum circa omnes operationes que funt in retentionem pecunie, fed circa fumptuofas expenfas in quibus excellet liberalitatem ut fupradixi magnitudine. Ergo eft circa magnos fumptus ; ad magnum opus requiruntur proportionati fum'ptus. Rex autem magnificus largus eft fibi et fuis' fubditis magnificus in ornatu conviviis poffeffioni- bus et edificiis. Certe non poffunt magna opera fieri nifi cum magnis expenfis; magnifici eft dare fecundum proportionem gratie divitiarum. Et ideo diligenter eft intuendus quod non fuperhabundet ne excedat in fumptibus magis quoque tabs vocatur banna ufus quail in D for n ace fornace bona fua confumens Ethlcorum quarto magnificus ab equali proportionate fumptum opus faciet magis magnificuin quod eft diu duraturum quia fedit virtute retie ftudium quod oportet.

As for the voide after meate, the guife hath been thus; the fervant of the fpicerie was wont to bring the fpice-plate to the chamber, and the King’s fewer to take it of him and bring it into the prefence with all other plates; and then the Lord Chamberlaine to give the fewer the afiay, and that donne to committ it to the eftates. And in that feafon the cup-bearer, or in his abfence en eftate afligned by the difcretion of the Lord Chamberlaine, to take the cupp for the Kinge and to goe forth with the fpice-plates to ferve the Kinge; the fewer, cupbearer, and chamberlaine for the Queene, to doe likewife; and the fpice by them taken, the plates to be covered againe, and the fewers to take them againe, and to goe and ftand above the cupboard, and the cupbearer, Knight or Lorde aftigned for the time, to beare the cupp, to take and fett it on the cupboard. An efquire to bring the Bilhopps fpice-plate, and ere the King take his fpice, he hath ufed to make a becke to the Bilhoppe, that he Ihould firft take his; but after the Bilhopp’s plate be once uncovered, it ought not to bee covered againe, but ferved forthwith, all other at even on a falling. At night, the fewer, as is before heere faid, for the King and for the Queene and for the Bilhoppe muft doe as yee have heard here before. And for all other ellates, the ufher Ihould alligne for everie place a man to fetch it at the fpicerie and to ferve them forth to the eftates, and to afligne other perfonnes to fetch cupps to the cupboarde for all the eftates; for a ferjeaunt at armes or an uflier in his ablence lhall bring in his armes as many cuppes to the cupboard as will fuffice, or as the caufe rcquireth to doe fervice. And on fuch a falling day at night, an efquire of the body muft goe and fetch the King’s cuppe at the feller, and bring it to the cupboard and fet it there ; and for lacke of the cupbearer by the commandement of the chamberlaine, an ulher muft afligne a Lord to doe it, and another perfonne muft be afligned to fetch a cupp for the Queene from the feller. As for light at night it hath beene feene fometime 10, fometimes 9, and not under 7. As FOR SITTING IN THE King’s GREAT CHAMBER. ITEM, as for fitting in the King’s great chamber, there ought to fitt as many Lords tem- porall as it lhall feeme beft, by the difcretion of the chamberlaine and ufhers at one board, and at another, the chamberlaine and knights and efquires for the body and the ufhers; and if it bee on a day of eftate, noe knightes to fitt in the chamber but alloudly when hee doth the King fervice; and they doe noe lervice without it bee to ferve the King of water; and on a day of eftate a Baron lhall ferve the King of water, and then the Knights to kcepe **3 keepe the hall, and everie day, when none eilate is kept at another board, fhall fitt the King’s confeffor, the fecretarie, chaplaines, and phifitions; and at the end of that fame board a meile of uihers; and if the mailer of revells be there, hee may fitt with the chapleyns or with the efquires or gentlemen uihers: and elfe no man to fitt in* the great chamber but as it pleafeth the chamberlaine and uihers; yeomen of the crowne and yeomen of the chamber to fitt without the chamber doore; and in the King’s prefence no man to fitt, but one board of great eilates; and the chamberlaine to fitt at the neather end of the laid board; but on St. George’s even, and the King keepe the great chamber, and there bee not roome enough for the Knights of the Garter at one board; or, if any Embafiador be there, then yee mull have your board, as the cafe requireth, fitting fingle in his prefence. As FOR THE EVEN OF THE DAY WHEN A VOIDE SHALL BE HAD. In the even of the day of eilate, it is the ufher’s parte, and it pleafe the King, to have a voide; then the uiher muil warne the fervant of the fpicerie, to make readie for the fpice-plates for the King and the Biilioppe, and for the Lordes and eilates, after as they bee; and after as yee fee neceflarie ; and alfoe to warne the King’s fewers and efquires, which mud waite that tyme, and the fewer of the chamber, for the Biihopp’s fpice-plate ; then yee muil goe to the fervant of the feller, and warne him to make readie the King’s cuppe and the Biihopp’s, and as many feileres of wine as yee thinke will ferve the people. Alfoe, yee mufl receave the pile of cuppes, and bring them upp, and Lett the Biihopp’s covered cuppe above them, if yee feem it before to doe. Alfoe, yee muil warne an efquire for the bodie, to bringe the Kinge’s cuppe to the cup-board, and an efquire of the howfehould to bring the Bifhopp’s if the uiher will. Alfoe, you mud warne the fewer to fetch the fpice- plates for the Kinge, and a fewer of the chamber for the Biihoppe, and bring it to the cupboard : alfoe, you muil appointe for everie plate an efquire of the houiholde to ferve the eilates and Lordes as yee thinke befl. Then what time you thinke the King is readie to take his voide, then yee muil affemble them together and bring them to the cupboard ; the uiher goeinge before, making roome to the cupboard; then the chamberlaine goeing to the cupboarde, taking with him three of the greateil eilates, delivering to the greateil the towell; the fecond eilate the fpice-plates; the third eilate the cuppe ; and when they come to the Kinge with it, the chamberlaine taketh the coveringe of the fpice-plates, giveing affay to the bearer; and when the King and Biihopp have taken fpice and wine, then the lordes deliver it to the officers againe; then the uiher to appoint efquires to ferve the lordes and the people with fpice and wine largely. And lett the Bifhoppe’s fpice-plates bee ferved forth amongfl others, without it bee an Arch-biihoppe; then this done the uiher to call in cuppes againe; and fett them in order as they came; and foe bring them forth out of the chamber, like as they came ; and if it bee in the night tyme that you muil have light at the voide, bee right well advifed how many lights you muil have, and how many ihall goe with the King’s fpice plates, and cupp, when hee ihall drinke ; but ever looks there bee odd in number at the voide. How the King ought to bee served in His Great Chamber.. There ought daylie twoe yeomen of the crowne to fett upp the board, and two efquires at. dinner and fupper to take it downe ; and if it pleafe the Kinge to fitt before hee bee ferved of the firil courfe, then both dinner and fupper, twoe efquires to take upp the board be- tvveene them ; and when the King is fett, then to fett the board downe againe; the which is mod ufed on fedivall dayes. Alfoe, at night there ought to bee in the chamber three torches, five, feven or nine ; and as many fifes fett upp as there bee torches; the havinge of them is much after the fedival dales; and alfoe after as the caufe requireth. Thefe torches to bee houlden with yeomen of the crowne, or of the chamber; and if the King command water before fupper, then there ought as many efquires as there bee yeomen with torches to goe to the yeomen and take the torches of them, and they to hould the torches till the King hath waftied, and is fett: and then to deliver againe the torches to the fame yeomen, and they to (land dill till the board be ferved ; and when the King is ferved with wafers or fruites, then the torches to come in and dand on the other fide of the chamber ; and wherfi the Almoner doth take upp the board, the efquires againe to take the torches j and they to come neare the table doeing their obeyfaunce; and they to dand dill there till the King© bee upp and have wadied. And then againe to deliver the torches to the yeomen, and to tarrie as longe as it fliali pleafe the Kinge, and the yeomen with the torches not to departe them before fupper nor after; but to bee readie to receave the torches of the efquires $ and whenfoever the fewer goes to the kitchen to have a torche with him, and to bee borne be« fore the meate by an efquire ; and when the meate is fette on the board, then the torch to be delivered at the chamber doore to the fewers fervant, whoe ought there to bee readie for that purpofe; and after the torches come once into the King’s prefence, there ought none to depart with noe manner of edate tiil they avoide all at once; and thus ought the King to bee daylie and nightlie ferved ; alfoe the grand porter ought to have a ladder readie to fett upp fifes withali on a plate; which plate ought to he hanged on the uppermoft fide of the arras.

ORDINANCES ORDINANCES OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF K&NG-JAMJES I. 29* ORDINANCES for the governing and ordering of the King’s Household, signed by King James, the 17th day of July, in the id yeare of his Raigne, Anno Dni, 1604 *. WPIERE, we are trewely informed by our Privy-Council, that if fome reafonable Order be not taken, to abate the great and dayly Charge and Expence of our Houfehold, which of neceffity hath bene much moore encreafed fince our comeing to the Crowne, than was in our deare Sifter’s time; and that to provide the fame Increafe of provifion will not only fall out more chargeable than we like of, but prove more burthenfome and grievous to our lov- ing fubje&es, whole quiet and welfare we greatly defire ; we therefore thought good to de« minifa our faid dayly Charge of Houfehold by this meanes following, viz. FIRST, Whereas Our-felfe and Our deare Wife the Queene’s Majeftie, have bene every day ferveci with 30 Difhes of Meare ; Nowe, hereafter, according to this Booke figned, Our Will is to be lerved but with 24 Difhes every Meale, unlelfe when any of Us fit abroade in State, then to be ferved with 30 Diflies, or as many more as We fhall command. AND further, Our pleafure is, that one of the Clerkes of the Greencloth, and one of the Clerk-Comptrollers, fhall rernaine and be at their Boardwages, as they were formerly, in the time of Our late deceafed Sifter ; notwithftanding any entrie in this Booke figned. AND further, Our pleafure is, that Our Second Clerke of Our Kitchin, who have their allowance of 2 Mefles of 5 Difhes a-peece to every Meffe, fhall have in all but three Difhes at a Meale; and they to have fuch Boardewages as they had in Our late Sifter the Queene’s time ; any thing contained in this Booke figned notwithftanding. AND further, Our pleafure is, that our Serjant Porter, who having had allowance from Us of 5 Difhes of Meate at a Meale, and Bouch at Court, that the fame final 1 nowe ceafe, and he to have in lewe thereof 160L per annum, to be paide quarterly. MORE, Our Pleafure is, that Doclor Cragge our Phifition, who is to give his dayly at- tendance, fhall have for his Diett continuance the Sume of 160 1. per annum, to be paide quarterly. AND likewife, Doctor Marbecke, Phifition to Our Houfehold, who is to give the like attendance, fhall have for his Diett 5 Dilhes at a Meale, his Bouge of Court being not- withftanding ferved unto him, and receive the Summe of 134b 6s. bd. per annum, ut 1'upra, AND likewife, Our pleafure is, that George Sheares, Our Apothecary for the Houfehold, who hath beene accuftomedly at Dyett with the laid Do&,or Marbecke, fhall receive the Summe of 6ot. per annum, to be paid as aforefaid, befide allowance of Bouge of Court. Q^q 2 AND j AND likewife, Our pleafure is, that our Locke-Smith who doth take extraordinary paines, fhall have for his two Difhes of Meate, fome in ftiett, 301. to be paid, ut iupra. AND Our pleafure is, that thefe Perfons under-written, having allowed them by the Booke figned in Ourdeare Sifter’s time, certain Livery-meftes, of three diflrcs to every MefTe, lhal 1 have for every Mefte 3s. 4ft. per diem; from that time they left the Paid Diet per annum, amounting to for every raefTe 601. 16 s. 8 ch The Pantry, The Woodeyarde, The Boyling-houfe, The Scullery, The Scalding-houfe, mefles. mefles. 1 The Confe&ionary, 1 1 The Paftery, 1 1 The Cookes of all fides, 1 1 The Larders for one Mefte of two J 1 Difhes per diem. J AND Our pleafure is, that thefe MefTes, and Livery-meftes of Meate followeing, and not warranted by Our late deare Sifter’s Booke figned, but commaunded contrary to order by our Ploufehold Officers, both then and fince Our Raigne, fhall henceforth ceafe, viz. Sir Edward Cary, Mafter of our Jewell-Houfe, we are informed from his fir ft entrie into that Office in our late deare Sifter’s Raigne, without any warrant of Ours, hath had feven Difhes of Meate at a Meale; which as we are informed never any of thefe Officers ever had, but onely his laft predeceffor, upon good confiderations by our Laid deare Sifter’s efpeciall order; Our pleafure therefore is that the Paid Diet fhall ceafe, and he to enjoye all other his lawfull benefits as others have done formerly. LIKEWISE, being informed that without any lawfull Warrant, both in part of our late deare Sifter’s time, and fince our Government, Sir James Sandelan, and the Wardrobe, have had livery meftes of three difhes at a meale, and the Rowes hath had one mefte of two difhes to the mefte at a meale ; Our will and pleafure is, that the faid feveral mefles doe ceafe.

IN high daies of eftates, when the King goeth in proceffion, there are two gentlemen tsffiers to goe apart fomewhat before the King, alwayes having regard to the King that Koe manner of man bee foe hardy to fue, nor to putt bills, nor to approach nigh to him during the proceffion; alfos there having good waite to the King, to come to him if hee doe 375 doe call them, or doe make any countenance to them to doe him fervice, or meffage, as hee ffiail comand them. Gentlemen Ushers to goe abroad with the King. WHEN the King goeth to cbappell or any where in date, the gentlemen ufhers goe before the King, next to my Lord Chamberlaine and Mr. Vice Chamberlaine, when hee walks abroade.

NOE body (except my I ord Chamberlaine or Mr. Vice Chamberlaine were pleafed to doe it) is to give order for flambeaux to bee delivered to the King’s footemen to do his Majefty’s fervice but the Gentleman Ufher, being his duty to enquire whether his Majefty’s fervice requires it.

Hee hath alfo a place at the dore of the chamber of the King’s barge to fitt att, which was then a greate honour (and is foe hill) when noe man went into the chamber of the Barge under the degree of a lord or privy councellor, unlefs the King called them in, a fecond barge being ever appointed for all other gentlemen that waited upon the King, as a fecond coach when hee goes by land. THE Gentlemen Ufhers (as they are informed by feverall people) did heretofore carry a Raff halfe as long as my Lord Chamberlayne’s, which it feemeth hath been, by the neglect of theire predeeeffors, left off, and to this dale the yeoman ufhers weare in theire bread: a little Raff, as a token of the power that they have under my Lord Chamberlaine; but the gentlemen ufhers, who comand them, and are imediately officers under my Lord Chamberlaine and Mr. Vice Chamberlaine, hath nothing att all to fhew that they are officers, although it bee theire duty (under my Lord Chamberlaine and Mr. Vice Cham- berlaine) to keepe order and comand the doores, wherefoever his MajeRie is out of the Piivy Lodging. THEREFORE it is the Gentlemen Ufhers moR humble requeR, to the moft honourable lords commiffioners, to give and graunt them fome marks by which they may bee knowne ro bee officers, and by it made more able to doe his MajeRie fervice. THE yeomen ufhers are to fend a groome of the chamber for torches, when the King’s fervice requires it, as many as the Gentleman Ulber fhall comand them, who is lyable to my Lord Chamberlaine’s cenfure if hee fend for more then is fufficient for his Majeftie’s honour.

THE Genttefnen Ufhers are not to receive orders from any but from friy Lord Cham- berlaine, or Mr. Vice Chamberlaine in his lordfhipp’s abfence, or from the King himfelfe, if any body elfe doe give them orders, they are not to receive them further then a meflage fent by a page of the Bedchamber, they being immediate officers to the Lord Chamberlaine, noe way fubordinate to the gentlemen ufhers of the Privy Chamber, who have noe comand • without the precinfts of the Privy Chamber; and by all orders publifhed under his Majeflie’s hand, are only to give theire attendance there, and give orders to fuch who are fvvorne :lo obey them. UPON UPON play nights, mafks, or daunceing nights, the Gentleman Ufher, after hee hath received his order from my Lord Chamberlaine, or from Mr. Vice Chamberlaine, or in theire abfence from the King himfelfe, for noe body elfe in the King’s fervice hath power to cotnand them, or to bring orders, therefore the King’s Majefiie would bee gracioufly pleafed to fend for them and to give them order himfelfe, if my Lord Cham- berlaine and Vice Chamberlaine bee abfent. AFTER the Gentleman Uflier hath received his orders as aforefaid, hee is to appoint fome gentlemen nfliers quarter waiters, fome of the yeomen of the guards, as many as hee ihall think fitt according to his difcretion, with theire haulberds and torches, to keepe the doores, and to hinder thofe from coming in that are not fitt to come in : hee is alloc to give order to the Chaundry for lights, and for coales, bread, and drinck, for the players.

Gentlemen Ushers to give the whole house warning upon a remove. WHEN the King removes att any time, the warning is to come to him from my Lord Chamberlaine, or from Mr. Vice Chamberlaine ; and in theire abfence the King is to give it to the Gentlemen Ufhers, that they may, according to the good old cuflome, warne ihe whole houfe, that foe the King’s fervice bee not neglefted. The King’s dyning abroad. THE like is to bee done when the King eateth abroad upon his owne charges: where his fervants are to waite, hee is to give warning to the Cuppbearer, Carver, and Sewer, to- waite. WHEN the King is to bee out abroad late, the Gentleman Ufher is to know of my Lord Chamberlaine, or of Mr. Vice Chamberlaine, and in theire abfence from the, King, which way his Majefiie intends toLcome in, that hee may bee there ready with a light, and, if it bee needfull, fome of the yeomen of the guards with torches to light his Majefiie when he cometh in. - ati V/ \’f 1. b a THE Gentleman Ufher is to give warning when the King healeth, and is to bee there to keepe good order: if my Lord Chamberlaine, and Mr. Vice Chamberlaine, bee abfent, hee is to fpeak to the two greatefl men prefent, to give the King to wafh C c c after after that hee hath done healing, and hee is to carry the towell ; and after hee hath taken the S-aie to prefent it to the greateft Lord* that hee may give it to the King„- The Clerk of the ClofTett, and Serjeant Chirurgion, are to acquaint my Lord Cham- berlaine, and his Lordfhipp the King, with the tymes of healing; and his Lordfhipp to give order to* the Gentlemen Ufhers to give warning to all others whome it concernes to waite, and there ought only to bee there one ferjeant ehirurgeon,;and one other shirurgeon, to avoide confuhon. Eldest Gentleman Usher, THE eldeft Gentleman Ufher, although it bee not his daie of waiting, hath the pri- viledge* if hee will, to waite att offerings, and to lay the King his cufhion att offerings and communions, and to give the towell to the Lord Chamberlaine and Lord Steward, to - hold before his Majeltie when hee receives,. THE office of the black rood was aunciently annexed to the eldefl Gentleman Ufher’s * place;, but the late King (of bleffed memory) referved a latitude to himfelfe in a chapter [of the Garter] 1630, to difpofe of it to any of the Gentlemen Ufhers, as hee thought fitr, but foe as it fhould never goe from the Gentleman Ufher’s place in tyme comeing; and the faid Gentleman Ufher, by a ffatute of a chapter in King Henry VIII. tyme, is de- clared to bee “ pro dignitate atque honore ordinis,. omnium oftiariorum ipfius Regni fummus, et habere curam et cuftodiam, ac cuftodim prmeminentiam penetralium nof- trorum, et omnium oftiorum ubi confilium inibitur tarn in fub imi curia, quae Par^- liamentum appellatur, quam in quibuscunq’ aliis locis,” whereby it is evident that hee hath the priviledge to waite upon all occafions in the privy lodgings without the Bedchamber. THE fit ft Gentleman Ufher hath the priviledge to appoint collectors,-to receive all fees of honour that paflesnot the feales, and to caufe them to bee juftly diftributed amongft his Ma« je(lie’s fervants; as Garter King att Armes hath the like priviledge in all.fees of honour* that palTes the feales,. THE firft Gentleman Ufher hath the priviledge to appoint two chamber-keepers-- and a dore-keeper, for. the waiters table, and a fyer-maker for the Prefence Chamber.. UPON all removes the Gentleman Ulher that makes ready is to give a lift to the harbingers of thofe that are not, or cannot, bee lodged in the houfe, to have lodging taken up for them in the next townes or villages, according to the conveniencies of theire Services, and is to certifie my Lord Chamberlaine att the foote of their bills, who have lodgeings due, that they wanted lodgeings, that my Lord Chamberlaine may figne theire bill for the fame. * i, e. Daily Waiter’s. .5 YJ *t ■a G-£NTLEME» Gentlemen Ushers comand in the Greate Chamber. LASTLY, the Gentlemen Uihers have the only comand in the Prefence and Waiters Chamber, as imediate officers to my Lord Chamberlaine, and in his abfence the Vice Chamberlaine, all others being fvvorne to obey theire orders in his Majesties fervice, and having none fworne to obey them ♦, as alfoe of the Create Chamber in his Majefties ordinary fervice, the Captaine of the Guard Waiting feldome there, except in greate feflivall dayes. IT is highly complayned of, by the gentlemen waiters, of the taking away of feaven or eight diffies of meate when the King doth not fupp, and the pricking of the bill by the groomes and pages of the Bedd Chamber, and foe giving to the gentlemen waiters what they pleafe, whereas the King’s fupper is to bee ferved up in date when the King doth not fupp, as att dynner, and they are then to have theire made diffi, and not to prick the bill, which ought only to be pricked by the King himfelfc, and delivered to the Gentleman Uffier to bee fent downe by a groome of the chamber to the Clerk of the Kitchen in waiting, that the gentlemen waiters table may not bee wronged, which cannot bee kept to the King’s honour, neither cann there bee Sufficiency of meates to ferve foe many gentlemen and theire fervants as are allowed to it, if foe many diffies bee every night taken from it, thofe which they prick being the moft fubftantiall diffies, nere as good as that which they leave, taking the whole banquett befides, which is much more then will ferve them which are in waiting, and theire fervants, and accrefies only to theire chamber keeper, to the ruyne of the waiters table. THE originall of the made-diffi (which wa^ mentioned by any booke figned by the King) Was, when my Lord Chamberlaine dined publiquely upon feftival dayes in the upper end of the Greate Chamber, the Carver was to fend his lordffiipp from the King’s tabie fome of the bed meate warme, for the entertaynement of ftrangers, more for point of honour as being comanded by the King then otherwile, which att other tymes hee did not fend for cold, but left it to the gentlemen wayters; and thereupon the groomes of the Bedd Chamber in King James’s tyme, beg’d it from his Lordffiipp, when hee made not uie of it himfelfe, and had it much more moderately then now, that theire chamber keepers will have a {hare out of every difh, though none of the groomes dyne within dores; therefore the gentlemens humble fuite is, that this indefinite made-diffi (which fpoyles theire table, and occafions debates betweene the chamber kceepers) may bee converted into two good diffies, one of the firU: and one of the fecond courfe, as more honourable for them.
