YOUR Majesty may perchance condemn me as guilty of a Solaecisme in Courtship for that I formerly intituled Your most Illustrious QUEEN-CONSORT in my late Tractate of AVRVM REGINAE dedicated to Her Highnesse to a Legal Right in possession to this most Antient ROYAL DUTY and now presume to present Your Majesty by way of Reversion after Your CONSORT only with the Gleanings of some Records of that Subject I have since discovered and collected in this ADDITIONAL APPENDIX Yet being no Solaecisme or praeposterousnesse but an orderly usual method in point of Law the Lawes and Records of Your Realm intitling Your QUEEN to the Primitive present possessory right of QUEEN-GOLD and Your Majesty only to the uncollected Remaines and Arrears thereof after Her Decease whom God long preserve in life and health and that both in ENGLAND and IRELAND as this old Record I newly found of Your Noble Predecessor KING HENRY the THIRD dated in FRANCE thus resolves Galfridus de Turvall Archid.

I shall here in the first place illustrate by some forraign Historical passages and domestick Records It is storied of the ancient Kings of Persia who were extraordinarily uxorious loving kind and bountifull to the●r Queens that for their greater Honor Majesty and Splendor when they espoused or made choyce of them for their Queen Consorts they did set a ROYAL CROWN of GOLD upon their heads arrayed them with Royal costly Robes Appar●l and also assigned them sundry large Territories Cities Revenues for furnishing all parts of their Bodies with rich Ornaments of all sorts suitable to their Royal Estates Hence Plato in his Alcibiades primus discoursing of the great wealth of the Persian Kings subjoynes Audivi ego aliquando virum fide dignum qui ad Persarum Regem profectus fuerat Hic retulit se peragrasse regionem valdè magnam bonam diei ferè unius it●nere quam indiginae UXORIS REGIAE ZONAM vocent Esse verò etiam aliam qua REGINAE CALYPTRA vocatur● it●mque alios multos locos pulchros bon●s AD ORNATUM REGINAE DELECTOS habereque singulos lecos nomina AB UNOQUOQUE REGINAE MUNDO Which Cicero the grand Roman Orator thus seconds S●lêre a●unt barbaros Reges Persarum Syrorum plures V●ores habere his autem UXORIBUS Civitates attribuere hoc modo Haec Civitas mulieri REDIMICULUM praebeat haec in COLLUM haec in CRINES Ita populos hab●nt universos non solum conscios libidinis suae sed etiam administros Upon this account as Athenaeus relates the City of Antylla near Alexandria was given to the Queens 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 And Barnabas ●riss●●ius De ●egio 〈◊〉 Principatu lib. 1. p. 76. observes that the Persian Kings REGINES utique Regione●●erta● attri●uebant e●●uarum ●edditibu● mundum 〈◊〉 para●●nt In like manner● our ancient Kings before and since the Conquest did not only honor their Queen Consorts with ROYAL DIADEMS of GOLD rich Robes and other O●●●ment● a●d assign ●●em sundry ●●●ge Mannors Rents Pensions for their Dowries to maintain their Pomp Courts Officers Attendants in Magnifice●t splendor but li●ewise reserved certain● Ounce● of Gold out of so●e of thei● ancient ●emes●● Lands and Man●ors to ●e annually paid to their Queens with other sums of money and portions of Wool for their Ornaments Apparell Lamps and Furniture o● their Wardrobes This I shall evidence by some few irrefragable presidents recorded in the most famous ancient Record st●●● e●tant reserved in the Treasury of the Receits in 〈◊〉 King● Ex●h●q●e● c●mmonly ca●●ed DOOMES●AY BOOK or LIB●R IVDICIARIVS ●●ia ●ententia eju● i●f 〈…〉 po●est vel impunè declinari ab ●o non licet

I found the Title of AURUM REGINAE under that of Prerogative le Roy expecting to have met with some extraordinary learning or rare Records and Cases concerning it but found only his bare Abridgement of two Clauses in the printed Statutes of 15 E. 3. cap. 6. 31 E 3. cap. 13. That QUEEN-GOLD should not run or be demanded out of the Subsidie and Quinzime they then granted to the King which I had printed at large in my AURUM REGINAE p. 36. 44. My desire is that the Kings and Queens of England might be fully informed of all Records Antiquities Writs Memorandums that concern this their Prerogative and Duty in which I have made a large progresse But wanting leisure and oportunity to proceed any further therein I must recommend the future searches after and discoveries of them ●o others who have more abilities leisure if not obligations to undertake this labour then my self It is an antient Adagie Nihil simul inchoatum perfectum And Facile est inventis addere If therefore any Officers Attornies Clerks belonging to the Respective Offices and Treasuries of Records in the Court of Exchequer or the Queens own Officers shall be so industrious as to make further and exacter searches into the Bundles● and Files of Writs issued or returned in the Exchequer after this Golden Mine Duty of AURUM REGINAE then I have already done or hope to have future leisure to do peradventure they may make some more discoveries of and additional Supplements to this Subject since Pius vident oculi quam oculus and Bernardus non vidit omnia I shall therefore conclude with the Poets supplication to every of them and each other ingenuous Reader of my AVRVM REGINAE or this ADDITIONAL APPENDIX to it Si quid novisti rectius istis Candidus imperti si non his utere mecum FINIS ERRATA Here in p. 6.
