Fol. 126. But the entertainment most of all August and Royal, was that of the Earl of Newcastle at Welbech, which was esti∣mated to cost the Earl not lesse then 6000 l.] Observator. I have shewed our Author some mistakes in his Temporalities, and now I shall shew him one or two in his localities, besides his misplacing of the battail of Tissique spoken of before. The entertainment so much talked of, which cost the Earl 6000 l. was not made 1633. in the time of the King's going into Scotland, but July the last in the next year; nor was it made at Welbech, but at Belsover Ca∣stle. The like mistake in matter of locality, occureth Fol. 129. &c.
Answer. The Observator here mentioneth a battail of Tissi∣que, spoken of before; but where I know not; only conjecture that he had a good will to take me to taske for misplacing a battail, I suppose at Rostoch; but upon better consideration he found the errour was his own, not mine; and therefore cut out the leaf containing the 101 & 102 pages wherein his mistake lay, leaving that Paragraph tyed head and heeles to∣gether.
Now I come to my two errours in Locality. The first is my misplacing of the Earl of Newcastles entertainment of the King. Which he will have at Belsover Castle in Darby-shire, not at Welbech: and not 1633. but the next year after; and why so? because [that was the entertainment which cost the Earl 6000 l.] I answer, mentioning the entertainment given the King by the Earl, I delivered these particulars. First, that it was in his progresse into Scotland. Secondly, that it was the most August of all. Thirdly, that it was at Welbech. Lastly, that it was estimated (not positively that it did so) to cost the Earl 6000 l. The three first are granted for truth by the very Observator himself; and for the last, as I said barely, it was so estimated, so I must tell him it was so estimated to my self at York at that very time of the Kings Progresse, and a full year before the next entertainment was given or perhaps thought of.
The next mistake in Locality, is, Fol. 129. where I relate that both their Majesties, with their train of Court-Grandees and Gentlemen Revellers, were solemnly invited to a most sumptuous banquet at Guild-Hall.] Whereas the entertain∣ment which at that time the City gave the King was at Al∣derman
