porting to he a note of the Bank of Shaw, Leighton,
and Cu. Dublin, for five guineas. The faift was

EXTRACT
FROM AN ITISTORICAL DIATIONARI
01 Tilt MOST Itt/4 AAAAA LE ?EOSINS IN S.NOLAND
AND MALLS. PUSLISIITTI MS 1692.

R;cu. Ua CLARIS, EARL or GLiOUCISTRR.—Ia
a hank against Baldwin De Gisnes, a valiant Flem-
ing, employed by Henry 111. himself alone encoun-
tered 12. of his enemies; and, having his horse slain
under him, he pitched one of them by the leg out
of the saddle, and leapt into it himself, and a eon.
tinned the fight without giving ground till his army
came to rescue him.

Rosets CLLR[—Of Weymouth, in Dom.:shirr.,
Master of a ship called the OrlIgh:. in liBJ, went
for the discovery of Nuremberg ; but his ship was
cast away 70 leagues from land- The men got into
the ship-boat, having but (see oar, and continued
there four days without eating any thing, save the
weeds they found in the sea. But after five days
roving, a Spanish ship meeting them brought them
Biscay, from whence Clerk and his companions re-
turned safe into England.

Ca:victim—An ancient and most noble family%
whereof George Clifford, Lord Clifford, Vese, ice.
in Yorkshire, Earl of Cumberland, a person wholly
composed of true honour and valour. In order to
the cutting off the Spanish sinew of war (their stao•
ney from the West-Indies) this Earl set forth a smal
beet at his own cost. and ventured his own persoa '
therein, being the best born Englishman that ever
ventured himself in that kind. -His beet may be
said to be bound for no other harbottr but the port
of honour. i-fe left impressions of his valour and
aercy in all places where he came.. Queen Eliza-
beth honoured him with the dignity of the Garter.
When King James I. came tint of Scotland to ,
York, he attended him with such an equipage, that
he seemed rather a King than the Earl of Camber-
land. He died in 1605.
THOXAS COLA—Born in Berkshire, commonly
-.called the rick dothier of Reading. He is reported
a man of vast wealth, maintaining 10 menial ser-
vants, besides 300 people, whom he set en work,
insomuch that his watas witb.cloth filled the high-
way from Reading to London, to the stopping of
King Henry I. in his progress.—Which King gra-
tified this eminent clothier Cole. with a standard
yard, the length of his Royal arm, which was a
and in length.
Sri JOHN COIIIIVIAL.—A knight of the Garter,
was born at sea. His martial :lets were so accept-
able to the Duke of Britain, that he gave him his
niece in marriage. Being challenged at York to
fight in the lists against a valiant French knight, in
140 u, he came off so viaurious, and grew so highly
in favour with King Henry IV. that he made him a
Knight of the Garter, and gave him his sister in
marriage. He signalized his valour also at the
battle of Agincourt, with Henry V. where he took
prisoner Lewis de Bourbon, Earl of Vendome.
Henry VI. created him Baron Fannope, and of
Millebronk. He died in 14,43.

Titomas Coat AT—Born at Odcomb, in Somer-
setshire, and bred in Oxford, was a great Giecim.
He carried folly in his face, and his head in form
like an iore/ ted sugar-loaf. Prince I leary allowed
him pension, and him for Lis serv.,nt, Sweet-
meats and Coriat made up the last course at all en-
