        Knights he would haue to be innobled with a
        golden chaine, wrought with most subtile,
        called loue knots, knit togither with great
        cunning, &amp; foure letters interlaced or equall
        distance one from another, hanging at the
        end therof the image &amp; historie of the angels

        the pozie do signifie the greatnes of the glory
        that Amatus the first Knight and his succes-
        sors had. For whilest he went to Rhodes with
        his nauie to fight against the enimies of
        Christ, he well deserued of Rhodia both of
        Knighthood, and Religion. And Being made
        gouernor of that order, and of the garrisons
        also, he undertooke the administration of the
        Rhodian warres, and bequeathed the same to
        his next successor, he deliuered the castle of
        Acrense from siege, and remouing all feare
        both of danger and tyranny, he bouhgt great
        ioy, and libertie to the Rhodians. Therefore
        he caused himselfe to be named the first, in
        the catalogue of Knights, constituting foure-
        teene moe: all which he dignified with the
        same chaine of gold. The names of them that
        he knighted were these.
