SIR BAPTIST HICKS, being brought up in his father's business, and having great dealings with the court, (through the influence of his elder brother, Sir Michael) for his rich silks imported from Italy, and other foreign parts, thereby amassed a large estate. Upon King JAMES coming to the throne, he was sworn his servant, 1603, and soon after knighted. Sir Baptist was one of the first citizens who kept shop after receiving such an honour; and, in 1607, he had some dispute with the Court of Aldermen about it. He had subsequently a contest with the same body for precedency, standing upon his knighthood, which matter came at last to be decided by the court marshal. fore his death, however, he arrived at far higher honours. On the 1st July, 1620, he was created a BARONET, and King CHARLES I. in the fourth year of his reign, raised him to the peerage, as BARON HICKS, of Ilmington, in the county of Warwick, and Viscount Campden, of Campden, in Gloucestershire, with special remainder to his son-in-law, Edward Noel, Lord Noel, of Ridlington. This eminent citizen erected Hicks's Hall, in the city of London, in 1612, and about the same time, built a market house and hospital at Campden, in the county of Gloucester, and founded an alms-house there.

Ay, marry, (said the queen) but he wrote them not himself. To which the secretary said (swearing to her) he knew he did. Well, (saith she,) when I see him next we shall have good sport. The account of this matter the secretary wrote to Master Hicks, who having heard with some concern, that the queen had seen his rhimes, desired to know the truth of this business; and thereupon he wrote to him, asserting for his satisfaction, that he lied not, and that that was the truth, and the whole truth, as he assured him faithfully."
