These Idoleers take upon them so much state, that whoever meets them in a carriage is expected to rise up and bow, then to drive on one side of the road, and there stop till they are past: The same homage is required also to their wives, and even their children; and it is commonly paid them by the inhabitants.

Next to the governor are the members of the council, called here Edele Heeren, and by the corruption of the English, Idoleers.
