All this I carefully remembered, that I might enregifter it in my chronicle, with all I fhould fee or hear at this grand feaft of queen Ifabella's entry, the arrangement of which was as follows. * TheScots commiflioners art evidently wrong. The fineft MS. in the Britiih Mufeuzn has fir Archibald and fir William Lindfay, and fir John Sinclair.
