KIngston, is the name of a well known and
eminent Town in the East Riding of
York-shire, which standing on the mouth of
the river Hull, where it doth fall into the
Humber, is better known amongst us by the
name of Hull. A town indeed of no antiqui∣ty,
being first built by Edward the ••, who
liking the situation of the place, compounded
for it with the Abbot of Meaux, (to whom
it formerly belonged) and there built the
town, and caused it to be called Kingston. It
rose up in a little time to great reputation; so
that for faire and sumptuous buildi••gs,
strong blockhouses, well furnished ships &
wealth of trade, it is become the most re∣markable
town for merchandise in these
parts of Eng. Michael de la Pole, the first E.
of Suffolk of that Family, being son of Wil. d••
la Pole, a rich merchant here▪ obtained great
priviledges for the place, whi••h his successors
as they grew in favour, did i••crease and mul∣tiply:
and in the dayes of H. 6 ••il. E. Marq.
and D of Suffolk, procured it to bee made a
County incorporate, as our Lawyers phrase
it. Of late dayes of a County it became the
Earldome, of
