were occupied and employed in this Art The Carthaginians as Pliny expresses in his seventh Book were very early in it but Diodorus will have Mercury to be the first that was cunning in it Pliny in his

solemn order into St. Bartholomews of them there are three Ecclesiastical and and four Temporal the three Ecclesiastical that is to say the Arch-Bishop of Mentz called the Arch-Chancellor of High Germany being the first next the Arch-Bishop of Collen called the Arch-Chancellor of Italy and then follows the Arch-Bishop of Tryers called the Arch Chancellor of France all in their State befitting so great a Majesty Then the four Temporal that is to say the Marquess of Brandenburg great Chamberlaine of the Empire with a Massy Key of Gould then the Duke of Saxony Lord high Marshall beareth the Sword before the Emperour and is likewise Arch-Sewer in carring the Plate to the Table then the Elector of Bohemia the Taster or else Cup-Bearer to the Emperour for the Triumph These are the only Electors of the Emperour they afterwards descend from their seats and there before the Audience take a Solemn Oath one after another in these following words I doe Swear upon this Evangelist before me that with all my Faith which I owe to God my diligence and care which I owe to the Emperour without former reward or future hope of greater Honour that I will chuse with all my Faith and Truth a Just and fit Man for the Kingdome of Rome as much as in me Lyeth After these and many other ceremonies they proclaim him King of the Romans Heire of Augustus and Emperour of Germany In the Realm of France

whereof 6 are of the Clergy six are Lay-men the 6 of the Clergy with their offices at the Coronation are the Arch-Bishop Duke of Reins who hath his accustomed charge to anoint and consecrate the King

the 2d square Banner the Earl of Tholouse carries the Kings Spurs the Earl of paigne hath the mannagement of the Royal Banner or the Standard of War the Earl of Flanders bringeth the Kings Sword And although the first five temporall Peerdoms are united to the Crown and the sixt be united to another Prince yet at the Kings Coronation there are other Noble men appointed to supply their roome and Offices These are the twelve antient Peers although since their creation others have been made which though they have like Authority to judge in the Court of Parliament yet they want Offices at the Kings Coronatian and bear not that Majesty that the other Peers doe for that they are not of so great Antiquity A Sanctuary as Statius writes was made first by Hercules Nephews in Athens and was called the Temple of Mercy For then it was not lawfull to take any man violently that repaired thither for Assistance and Protection Notwithstanding whatsoever is otherwise expressed by Prophane Authors questionless Moses who was long before Hercules did institute three Franchised Towns whether it was permitted for them to go that had done any Murther unawares or by Chance-Medly Next after
