THEThe Houses of Parliament curiously enammel'd upon Gold. Thomas Lord Fairfax the General of their Forces, upon Chessnut his Charging-Horse, with distant Prospects of Armies, Gladiators, &c. and in a Scroll, Sic radiant Fideles: Upon the other Side is the fatal Battle at Naseby. All three are express'd with so much Art, that the Metal, tho' Gold, is but as Dross compared with the Workmanship; in a Scroll is writ non nobis. The Whole comprised in an Inch and half Diameter, yet so exquisitely performed, that the Countenances of particular Persons may be discovered. It was a Present from the Parliament to the General, and was purchased by my Father with his noble Collection of Medals. Materiam superabat opus. A very broad antique Gold Ring, supposed to have been that of Richard Duke of Yorke (Father to K. Edw. 4th), being found in the Place where he was slain (which is to be perpetually fenced in, by Vertue of the Tenure of the Land) near Wakefield Bridge: Upon the Out-side is engraved the Picture of the Virgin Mary, with our Saviour and two other Saints; and upon the In-side, in the Characters of that Age, pour bon Amour. The Frame of an Hour Glass of Copper, of fine Workmanship, the Figures very ancient. ATalbot within the Garter under an Earl's Coronet, engraved upon Mother of Pearl. The Head of K. Charles I. painted to be set in a Ring. That of Christina Queen of Sweden, curiously enamell'd in the same Compass; her Successor's, Carolus Gustavus, of great Value, because in a less Compass, being little more than a Quarter of an Inch, yet very distinct. Two Hands conjoined, in white Enamel.
