Clearly a plan of those towns, the word _plat_ occurs continually in a similar sense. Thus in the account in the Harleian MS. 1419, of furniture in Henry the Eighth's palaces, we find "a long case for _plattes_ covered with vellett," "a case of tynne with a plat." "Certeyne plattes and petygrees in a Cupborde," &c. but the best idea of a _plat_ is afforded by the plate in the second volume of Mr. Ellis's Second Series of _Original Letters_, which is called "A _Platt_ of Calais." In the MS. from whence it is taken is a "_Platt_ of the Lowe Countrye and Calleys, drawne in October, 37 Henry VIII. by Thomas Pettut." As in the Harleian MS. 1419, the word, "Mappes and Pictures" occur, it is evident that a plat differed from both, though it would appear from the engraving alluded to, that it partook of the character of each. The price of the "Plat of Rye and Hastings," which was executed by Vincent the King's painter, was 3_l._ 10_s._ Plate, baskets to carry, 20. ---- and Jewellery, for, 23, 31, 103, 104, 105, _bis_, 188. ----, standards for carrying, 43.

Pope's ambassador, 9. ---- Julius' game, money lost at, 274, 275, _bis_, 276, 277. This game is mentioned in these accounts for the first time, hence no description can be given of it. All which can be inferred on the subject from these entries is, that it was played by four or more persons, and that it was not in use at Henry's court until the end of the year 1532. It is most probable that it derived its name from Pope Julius the Second, who died in 1513, and was possibly very similar to our present Pope Joan. Popingay, one offered the King, 277.
