To live all in one, a rare thing to find.
Full ty's to them, a wife most true,
To these a most good and loveing mother;
But by Hobart only her issue grew,
The eldest Miles, and Henry his brother.
She loved God's word, and lived likewise,
She gave to the poore, and welcomed the rich.

Lo here, you ladies, you widows, and wives,
A glass for your geer, your selfs to behold,
Seek here a sample, and guide for your lifes,
Far passing beauty, and borders of gold.

All About History Books
The Chronicle of Walter of Guisborough, a canon regular of the Augustinian Guisborough Priory, Yorkshire, formerly known as The Chronicle of Walter of Hemingburgh, describes the period from 1066 to 1346. Before 1274 the Chronicle is based on other works. Thereafter, the Chronicle is original, and a remarkable source for the events of the time. This book provides a translation of the Chronicle from that date. The Latin source for our translation is the 1849 work edited by Hans Claude Hamilton. Hamilton, in his preface, says: "In the present work we behold perhaps one of the finest samples of our early chronicles, both as regards the value of the events recorded, and the correctness with which they are detailed; Nor will the pleasing style of composition be lightly passed over by those capable of seeing reflected from it the tokens of a vigorous and cultivated mind, and a favourable specimen of the learning and taste of the age in which it was framed."

Letters of John Chamberlain Volume 2 315. [30th January 1619] On Wensday divers were censured in the Star-chamber for building contrarie to the Kings proclamation; which was so far inforct that the Lord Cheife Justice (age 56) saide that yt was in effect, and had the nature of an act of parliament: they were fined at a yeares true valew, and to pull downe theyre houses, or els to build them anew according to order: now that these have led the daunce, all the rest that have built since the first proclamation must follow, or compound, which wold prove too great a matter to graunt my Lord of Arundell (who is saide to have the penaltie) though he have need of yt. The same day there was some entrance into the Lady of Excesters busines and order taken to abbreviat and cut of superfluous and impertinent matter and so make yt more fit for the Kings hearing, in which course there was some contesting twixt Sir Ed: Cooke, and the two Cheife Justices, [Henry Montagu 1st Earl Manchester and Henry Hobart 1st Baronet (age 59)] who are still observ'd to incline to the other side: the Lady of Excester went that day to the Star-chamber accompanied by the countesses of Arundell and Bedford, and a comitiva of I know not how many Ladies more to the number of almost thirty coaches, but whether she appeared in the court or no I cannot certainly learne. Secretarie Lake and his followers continue still confident, and some say the Lady Roos (age 19) was there likewise with her litle troupe: the speach goes that she is to marrie with the Lord John Pawlet (age 21) another grand-child of the earle of Excesters (age 76), and heire in apparance to the marquis of Winchester.
