In a book belonging to the jewel-officr, 

 in the pofTeiTion of the earl of Oxford, Ver- 

 tue found mention *^ of a fair bafon and lair 

 (Ewer) guilt, the bafon having in the bufhel 

 (body) a boy beilriding an eagle, and the 

 ewer of the worke of Groteftain, with goofes 

 heads antique upon the handle and fpoute, 

 weighing together xx ounces." In the fame 

 book was this memorandum, " remaining 

 in the hands of Robert Brandon and AfFabel 

 Partrage, the queen's goldfmiths, four thou- 

 fand ounces of guilt plate, at five fhillings 

 and four-pence the ounce, in the fecond year 

 of the queen.'* 



I fhall conclude this rei2;n and volume 

 with what, though executed in the time of 

 her fuccefTor, properly relates to that of 

 Elizabeth. In the earl of Oxford's collec- 

 tion was an office-book in which was con- 

 tained an account of the charge of her ma^ 

 Jelly's monument.
