Honour Military and Civil TO THE Generous Reader My Task is past my Care is but begun My Pains must suffer Censures for reward Yet hope I have now my great pains are done That gentle Spirits will quite them with regard For when my love to Gentry here they find My love with love they must requite by kind But if the ungentle Brood of Envies Grooms Misdoom my Pains no force they do their kind And I 'le do mine which is to scorn their Dooms That use unkindly a kind well-willing mind Thus I resolve Look now who will hereon My Task is past and all my Care is gone A Conclusion BUt He alone that 's free from all defect And only cannot erre true Wisdom's Sire Can without error all in All effect But weak are men in acting their desire This Work is filde but not without a flaw Yet filde with Pain Care Cost and all in all But as it were by force of Natures Law It hath some faults which on the Printers fall No Book so blest that ever scap'd the Press For ought I ever read or heard without Correctors full'st of Art and Carefulness Cannot prevent it Faults will flee about But here 's not many so the easier may Each gentle Reader rub away their stains Then when the verbal Blots were done away I hope their profit will exceed their pains Besides it may be thought a fault in me To have omitted some few differences Of Coronets of high'st and low'st degree But this I may not well a fault confess For 'twixt a Duke and Marquess Coronets Is so small odds as it is scarce discern'd As here i' th' Earl and Vicounts frontilets May by judicious Artists now be learn'd Then these are faults that Reason doth excuse And were committed wilfully because Where is no difference there is no abuse To Grace Arms Nature Order or their Laws This breaks no Rule of Order though there be An Order in Degrees concerning This If Order were infring'd then should I flee From my chief purpose and my Mark should miss ORDER is Natures beauty and the way To Order is by Rules that Art hath found Defect and excess in those Rules bewray Order's defective Nature 's much deform'd But ORDER is the Center of that GOD That is unbounded and All circumscribes Then if this Work hath any likelyhood Of the least good the
contrariwise the Inversion of his tail is a note of wrath and fury especially if he do beat the back therewith and doth roar withal Of this property of the Lion Catullus maketh mention in these words Age caede terga cauda tua verbera pateant Face cuncta mugienti fremitu loca retonent The gate of a Lion when he is passant is an apparent note of his jurisdiction and regal authority and sovereignty wherewith the extension of his tail doth fitly quadrate and agree inasmuch as when he hunteth after his prey he roareth vehemently whereat the Beasts being astonished do make a stand whilst he with his tail maketh a circle about them in the sand which circle they dare not transgress which done out of them he makeh choice of his prey at his pleasure Thus ending with the Wolf I will perclose this Tract of Beasts of fierce Nature comprehending all others of this kind as Ounces Lynxes Hyenaes Panthers c. under these before handled Forasmuch as the greatest part of the general Rules as also of the sundry forms of bearing attributed unto Lions and Wolves may be aptly applied to all or the greatest part of other Beasts of like Nature CHAP. XVI HAVING given Examples of ravenous and fierce kind that by main force do prosecute and obtain their prey I will now proceed to the handling of Beasts less fell and harmful of which number some are wild and savage other are domestical and sociable as Dogs of all sorts of which I will first intreat because the Dog whether it be for pleasure and game in field or for thrift and guard at home deserveth a very high estimation and of all Dogs those of chase are most in use in Armory whereof some prosecute their prey speedily others more leisurably Of the first sort is the Greyhound as in Example Note that it appeareth in an old Manuscript treating of Blazon that a Greyhound cannot properly be termed rampant for it is contrary to his kind to appear so fierce as the Author there writeth in his said Book now remaining in the custody of that worthy Knight Sir William Seger Garter principal King of Arms whose great study and travel in this Heraldical Art hath by his own Works already published been sufficiently manifest Argent three Greyhounds current pale-ways Sable collared Or by the Name of More or De la More and with the Arms of Vlster is the Coat-Armour of Sir Edward More of More-hall and Bank-hall in Lancashire Baronet lineally descended from the ancient Family of the Mores of the said places whose Ancestors have there continued for above twenty Generations as appears as well by divers ancient Deeds now in the custody of the said Sir Edward as by the Hatchments and Inscriptions engraven on the walls of the said Houses This Coat is also born by Sir Iohn More of the City of London Knight and Alderman lineally descended from the Family of the Mores aforesaid Sable three Greyhounds current in pale Argent collared Or is the Coat-Armour of the ancient Family of the Machels of Crakenthorp in Westmoreland and is now born by Lancelot Machel Esq Lieutenant of Horse to the Counties of Cumberland and Westmoreland a great Loyalist and an expert Souldier This Name was writ Mauchael or Mauchel from the Conquest to the Reign of King Henry the Eighth at which time those two valiant Warriers Guy Mauchel of Crakenthorp Esq and Hugh his Brother engaged themselves in that Expedition against the French in which the English were victorious and took the almost impregnable City of Turnay from whence they both returned and were successively Lords of Crakenthorp aforesaid This Guy though in many dangers yet died in his Bed about the 27th of Henry the Eighth but shewed an Heroick and Marshal Spirit in bequeathing his Arms and Armour to his Sons in the very first place as that which was most dear unto him And Hugh Machel for his Valour was by King Henry the Eighth deputed with Sir Thomas Wharton Warden of the west Marshes of England by a Warrant under the said King's Sign Manual Dated the 28th of Iune in the 29th year of his Reign To these must be added all fourfooted Beasts that are provident in acquiring their food as the Hedghog and such other It resteth that I should now give Example of the last sort of Beasts among them of savage kind before spoken of which are those of timorous and fearful Nature Such are these that follow and their like And hitherto we have handled such Terrestrial Animals only as are called Vivipara because they do bring forth living Creatures whereas the other Terrestrials do bring forth eggs and are therefore named Ovipara of which sort we will speak in the next place CHAP. XVII THIS other sort of four-footed Egg-bearing Animals as I may so term them notwithstanding that in many things they have no small resemblance with man as well touching the faculties of the vegetable soul as also the parts of the body yet are they far more unlike us than those that bring forth a living Creature And albeit that these Egg-breeding four-footed Animals do consist of the same bodily parts that the Vivipara or Animal-producing do and of the four humours that are answerable in quality to the four Elements and have all parts as well internal as external senses and many other things wherein they do communicate with the Vivipara yet are there many other things wherein they differ not only from these but also even amongst themselves one from another of them For neither do we find in these that quickness of wit that we observe in others neither like parts of strength of body that the other have Like as man especially in his soul approacheth near unto God in likeness so in like manner do other Animals resemble man wherein they do participate with man in likeness after some sort but in divers degrees forasmuch as some of them have more and some less likeness with us than others have There is not saith Beda amongst the Vniversal Works of Nature any one thing so little or of so base esteem wherein a man cannot find some Divine thing worthy of admiration No less saith Farnesius may we admire the force of a silly Flea than the hugeness and strength of an Elephant Not without reason doth the Husbandman prognosticate the approach of some great shower of Rain by the croaking of Frogs more frequent than usually whereupon he saith that they do cry for rain For this Observation is grounded upon a Physical Reason Omne enim simile gaudet suo simili suae naturae utili ac convenienti every like is delighted with his like and with that which is commodious and agreeable to his Nature Since then that Frogs are exceedingly delighted with water as with that which best agreeth with their Nature therefore when they do apprehend a foresense of Rain they do rejoice and do testifie their joy by singing after their manner Animals of base
