antiquity_n use_v beside_o the_o aforesaid_a one_o be_v that_o such_o as_o be_v advance_v by_o king_n prince_n or_o other_o great_a lord_n do_v many_o time_n bear_v some_o part_n of_o the_o device_n of_o he_o who_o advance_v they_o by_o way_n of_o addition_n unto_o the_o mark_n of_o their_o own_o family_n which_o serve_v very_o apt_o to_o distinguish_v they_o from_o their_o elder_a house_n the_o

these_o two_o kind_n of_o differing_n be_v in_o my_o mind_n great_o to_o be_v commend_v not_o only_o for_o that_o they_o may_v be_v make_v large_a and_o apparent_a and_o for_o that_o cause_n serve_v very_o proper_o to_o the_o use_n for_o which_o badge_n be_v ordain_v but_o also_o that_o the_o one_o make_v manifest_v a_o grateful_a mind_n in_o he_o that_o be_v advance_v to_o his_o prince_n or_o lord_n of_o who_o he_o receive_v benefit_n and_o by_o reason_n thereof_o link_v they_o together_o in_o a_o kind_n of_o amity_n which_o seldom_o or_o never_o be_v wear_v out_o and_o by_o that_o mean_v a_o great_a strengthen_v it_o be_v unto_o both_o house_n the_o other_o not_o only_o serve_v to_o unite_v the_o family_n which_o have_v match_v together_o in_o the_o foresay_a love_n and_o amity_n and_o thereby_o work_v the_o like_a effect_n but_o beside_o it_o show_v the_o certainty_n of_o the_o descend_v of_o the_o say_v young_a brother_n out_o of_o both_o the_o say_a house_n and_o also_o give_v knowledge_n of_o the_o time_n thereof_o whereby_o if_o any_o title_n of_o inheritance_n be_v at_o any_o time_n cast_v upon_o the_o young_a brother_n either_o descend_v from_o ancestor_n of_o the_o father_n side_n or_o mother_n it_o give_v he_o a_o testimony_n of_o his_o title_n and_o witness_v unto_o the_o world_n the_o truth_n of_o that_o descent_n by_o the_o continual_a bear_n of_o that_o device_n so_o that_o this_o kind_n may_v many_o time_n work_v profit_n to_o the_o bearer_n and_o avoid_v many_o trouble_n and_o suit_n and_o therefore_o into_o one_o of_o these_o kind_n of_o

but_o now_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o the_o order_n in_o use_n show_v plain_o enough_o the_o diversity_n of_o brother_n as_o the_o crescent_a a_o second_o the_o mollet_n the_o three_o that_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o matter_n be_v make_v certain_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o first_o the_o time_n be_v not_o by_o this_o mean_n signify_v neither_o can_v it_o be_v know_v which_o of_o the_o cressant-bearer_n be_v the_o uncle_n or_o nephew_n and_o further_o it_o be_v a_o very_a usual_a matter_n for_o every_o new_a riser_n at_o this_o day_n if_o he_o can_v find_v that_o there_o be_v any_o of_o the_o like_a surname_n that_o bear_v mark_v present_o to_o usurp_v the_o same_o with_o a_o crescent_n or_o some_o such_o difference_n so_o that_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o do_v seldom_o credit_v such_o kind_n of_o differing_n nor_o their_o bearer_n unless_o it_o be_v by_o some_o other_o testimony_n or_o proof_n make_v manifest_a which_o can_v be_v counterfeit_v so_o well_o in_o the_o other_o device_n except_o the_o riser_n shall_v be_v thorough_o acquaint_v with_o the_o descent_n of_o he_o who_o line_n he_o seek_v to_o intrude_v himself_o into_o and_o beside_o it_o may_v be_v

confusion_n be_v it_o when_o you_o shall_v see_v the_o second_o of_o a_o second_o brother_n and_o sometime_o a_o other_o second_o from_o he_o to_o cluster_v one_o crescent_a upon_o a_o other_o many_o time_n three_o or_o four_o one_o on_o horseback_n upon_o a_o other_o where_o as_o by_o the_o aforesaid_a bear_n of_o the_o difference_n from_o the_o prince_n lord_n or_o mother_n family_n a_o man_n
