(a) The Privy Seal, dat. at Westm. 30 Nov. 1627, (directing, also, the honour of Knighthood to be conferred on him), and the preamble of the patent itself are in " Lodge " Vol. 1. p. 164. The patent is printed in Nicolas' " Earldom of Devon " as an argument that a patent worded to "heirs male " means heirs male collateral. The express limitations, however, here considered necessary to extend the grant to such collaterals afford in reality an argument at/ainst such extended meauiug of the words " heirs male." It is well observed by the learned John Riddell, in his " Scotch Peerage Law " (1833) p. 3, hole — that the grant of this Peerage " altho' proving [what it is to be presumed no one ever questioned ] that there could be a collateral male limitation in honours, is not, however, an example of one simi'Ly hirrcdibus mascul 'is. The limitation is to Lewis Boyle anil the heirs male of his body ; whom failing, to the heirs male of the body of Richard, Karl of Cork, his Father ; whom failing, rcclis lueredibus musculis dicti Comitis ; " the meaning, therefore, of Hums Male under the last rem., is peculi- arly fixed by the context ; and, besides, it is expressly declared in the preamble, that the King Washed not only to give the title to Lewis rcrum ctiam omnibus hccralibus masculis tarn dc corporc, quam a LATEIti:, dicti Comitis." ») in this patent (fidi/) the word "Guildford" is so spelt. The subsequent ones (1671, 1683 and 1752) have it " Guilford." (') See p. 400, note " " "
