APPENDIX.

No. II.

INCE the foregoing fheets were printed off, I have been

SINC

favoured with the ufe of an old Order-Book belonging to the Band which contains fome Circumftances that were hitherto unknown to me, and which otherwife would have been interwoven in their proper places. The moft material matter be. fore me is a Copy of the Orders of K. James II. which differ very widely from those either of K. Charles I. or K. Charles II. We fhall there find each GENTLEMAN PENSIONER again obliged to the finding of Three Great Horfes for himself and Two fervants, with Arms and other military Habiliments. We there likewife meet with Eighty GENTLEMEN AT ARMS, or PENSIONERS Extraordinary, each of whom was to provide One Great Horse and proper Accoutrements. These Orders varying fo much from any that have preceded, I here infert a Copy of them, omitting fuch Articles as are in words or fubftance the fame as thofe of the Reign of King Charles I. given in the Memoir, p. 69.

ORDERS of KING JAMES II. A. D. 1684.

The Honourable Band of our Gentlemen Penfioners having the Honour to have daily access into our Prefence Chamber as being our nearest Guard and principal military Corps of our Houfhold-in which bonourable Band our Royal Father in his late Civil Wars, as well as other Princes our Predecessors, having found great fervice as well in the guard of their Royal Perfons as that it hath ferved them as a Nursery to breed up the Nobility and Gentry of the Realm in military Difcipline, and fit them to be Commanders in their Wars

and

and We having taken notice that feveral Perfons have been admitted into the faid Band not qualified as beret fore for that fervice, which has rendered the faid Band lefs grateful to Us; We think fit and ordain-THAT henceforth none shall be admitted to be of the Forty Gentlemen Penfioners in Ordinary but the Sons of Noblemen or Gentlemen of Blood, or fuch Perfons who by their valour, and good conduct in the wars have diftinguished themselves as Commissioned Officers in our forces, and who shall, for the term of fix Months at the least, have served at their own proper charge as Gentlemen at Arms, commonly called Gentlemen Penfioners Extraordinary of the faid Band.

2. None that is or shall be a Servant, or retained to any Perfon or Perfons of any degree or condition whatfoever by Oath, Livery, Badge, Promife, or otherwife, but to Us only, fhall be of the Forty Gentlemen Penfioners in Ordinary, or of the Eighty Gentlemen at Arms or Pensioners Extraordinary of the faid Band.

If We or the Captain of the faid BAND shall think fit to remove any or all of the Forty Gentlemen Penfioners in Ordinary now of the Band, those who have bought their Places, that shall be fo removed, fhall receive Half-pay during their lives respectively; and those that fucceed in their places the other Half: and after their death the Whole.
