Commencing with an appeal to Pope Alexander 3rd respecting some differences among the order, and dated 1169, they relate to grants, indulgences, and other privileges conferred on the knights up to 1328. I believe among the number is included the grant of the island of Rhodes. That of Malta, from Charles 5th, I know to be one of them. In another folio, headed Lingua Angliæ. Liber in quo continentur deliberationes venerandæ linguæ Anglicæ ab anno 1524 ad ann 1559. It appears that chapters were periodically held, and the proceeding thereat entered in this book. They relate principally to the appointment of officers and allowances of the public accounts of the order. Names of Knights whose signatures are found therein between the above mentioned periods, some of them scarcely legible from the badness of the writing. The following are specimens of the entries in this book: (Extract.) The boke of Assembles by ... * Wyllm Weston Turcopolier. 1523 as.......

To thee be glory for ever. Amen. A Prayer against Anger. O Lord Jesu Christ, which saidest, Whosoever is angry with his brother shall be guilty to judgment; which also dost reserve, from time to time, all vengeance and displeasure to thy secret and just judgment; grant us of thy great mercy, that by no manner of occasion we fall not into disordering of ourselves, by anger and desire of revenging, but that we may alway remember, not only thy godly com |
