 | | The Marquess from this Action called the House, Love-Loyalty, which name he had caused to be written with a Diamond in every Window, as if he would have it a perpetual Monument of his Loyalty to his Prince; but this Name so provoked the Enemy, that they burnt it to the Ground. |
 | | This house, garrison'd by a resolute band of old soldiers, was a great curb to the rebels of the Parliament Party, almost thro' that whole war; till it was, after a vigorous defence, yielded to the conquerors, by the inevitable fate of things at that time. |
 | | John Marquis of Winchester that brave Loyalist of the same Family, and Name, made this House a Garrison for K. Charles the 1st. |
