Sir George Home [, afterwards Earl of Dunbar], Treasurer of Scotland.
Sir James Elphinston [, afterwards Lord Balmerinoch], Secretary to the King.
[Edward Bruce,] the Lord of Kinloss, now Master of His Majesty's Rolls. [He received that
appointment on 18th May 1603.]
Also of the English Nobility, he made these of his secret and Honourable [Privy] Council;
The Lord Henry Howard [, afterwards Earl of Northampton].
The Lord Thomas Howard [, afterwards Earl of Suffolk]: who was also made there,
Lord Chamberlain.
[Charles Blount,] the Lord Mountjoy [, afterwards Earl of Devonshire].
His Majesty stayed at Theobalds four days [3rd-6th May 1603]; where to speak of Sir Robert's cost to entertain him were but to imitate geographers that set a little o for a mighty Province: words being hardly able to express what was done there indeed, considering the multitude that thither resorted, besides the train; none going hence unsatisfied.
