Life of the Duke 97 



own, he was necessitated to take 5000^. upon use for 

 the maintenance of himself and his family; whereof 

 the now Earl of Devonshire, his cousin german. once 

 removed, lent him looo/. for which and the former 

 1000/. mentioned heretofore, he never desired nor 

 received any use from My Lord, which I mention, 

 to declare the favour and bounty of that noble lord. 



But though it is impossible to render an exact 

 account of all the losses which My Lord has sustained 

 by the said wars, yet as far as they are accountable, 

 I shall endeavour to represent them in these following 

 particulars : 



In the first place, I shall give you a just particular of 

 My Lord's estate in lands, as it was before the wars, 

 partly according to the value of his own surveighers, 

 and partty according to the rate it is let, at this 

 present. 



Next, I shall accompt the woods cut down by the 

 rebellious party, in several places of My Lord's 

 estate. 



Thirdly, I shall compute the value of those lands 

 which My Lord hath lost, both in present possession, 

 and in reversion; that is to say, those which he 

 has lost altogether, both for himself, and his pos- 

 terity; and those he has recovered onely during the 

 time of his life, and which his onely son and heir, 

 the now Earl of Ogle, must lose after his father's 

 decease. 



Fourthly, I shall make mention, how much of land 

 My Lord hath been forced to sell for the payment 

 of some of his debts, contracted during the time 

 of the late Civil Wars, and when his estate was 

 sequestered; I say some, for there are a great many 

 to pay yet.
