In England, phrases such as "cabinet counsel", meaning advice given in private, in a <a href="/wiki/Cabinet_(room)" title="Cabinet (room)">cabinet</a> in the sense of a small room, to the monarch, occur from the late 16th century, and, given the non-standardised spelling of the day, it is often hard to distinguish whether "council" or "counsel" is meant.<sup id="cite_ref-oedCabinet_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-oedCabinet-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The <i><a href="/wiki/Oxford_English_Dictionary" title="Oxford English Dictionary">OED</a></i> credits <a href="/wiki/Francis_Bacon" title="Francis Bacon">Francis Bacon</a> in his <i><a href="/wiki/Essays_(Francis_Bacon)" title="Essays (Francis Bacon)">Essays</a></i> (1605) with the first use of "Cabinet council", where it is described as a foreign habit, of which he disapproves: "For which inconveniences, the doctrine of Italy, and practice of France, in some kings' times, hath introduced cabinet counsels; a remedy worse than the disease".<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Charles_I_of_England" title="Charles I of England">Charles I</a> began a formal "Cabinet Council" from his accession in 1625, as his Privy Council, or "private council", and the first recorded use of "cabinet" by itself for such a body comes from 1644, and is again hostile and associates the term with dubious foreign practices.<sup id="cite_ref-oedCabinet_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-oedCabinet-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>There were <a href="/wiki/List_of_English_ministries" title="List of English ministries">ministries in England</a> led by the <a href="/wiki/List_of_English_chief_ministers" title="List of English chief ministers">chief minister</a>, which was a personage leading the English government for the monarch.

The term "minister" came into being since the royal officers "ministered" to the sovereign.
