I proceed to the Compound bordures above specified Simple bordures I will give some few examples of other severall formes of simple bordures Quia simpli i● p●iora fuerunt compositis as followeth The next sort of Bordure that I will note unto you Bordures invecked is a bordure invecked and the same is formed as appeareth in this next Escocheon Sir Perducas Dalbreth to the French return'd Who Guly shield about his neck did fling Wrapt with dent bordure silver shining This bordure is said to be indented because it seemeth to be composed as it were of teeth whereof the same hath a resemblance as well in property as in form for teeth especially those of beasts of ravenous kind or of prey have that part of their teeth next to their gums broad and strong and their points sharp after the manner above specified Isiodor and they are called in Latine dentes à demendo as Isiodorus noteth which signifieth to take away or diminish Quia a●iquid de cibis s●mper demu●t In the same manner also doe every of these I●dentings entring into the Field lessen and take away some part of them as they goe Note Note that all sorts of bordu es are subject to charging with things as well Artificial as Natura●l as by examples following in part shall appear wherein I purpose not to be curious either in their number or yet in their order but as they shall come to hand so will I set them down in their proper places Hitherto of bordures simple now of such as are compounded as followeth Sometimes you shall find the Bordures cha●ged with things living as in these examples A like bordure did Jasper Earle of Pembroke bear Iasper Earle of Pembroke Bordure Enaluron of Martlets that was half-brother to King Henry the Sixth and was created Duke of Bedford by that most prudent Prince King Henry the Seventh Sometimes you shall find two of these sorts of bordures before handled commixt in one as in these next examples following Bordure charged with things inanimate Otherwhiles you shall have bordures charged with other sorts of things inanimate or without life as in this next example As this Bordure is gobonated so shall you find Bordures either Bendy or Bendwaies or charged with Bends as in this next Escocheon in part may appear There resteth yet one example more of bordurings which I have here placed to the end the same may serve instead of many particular demonstrations otherwise requisite for the full understanding of the manifold severall sorts of diapering that may be used in bordures as in example This kind of bearing diaper in coat-armour is sometimes seen in Coats of France and Belgia but very rare or never in England as Sir John Ferne noteth Diaper saith he is known of every man to be a fantasticall work of knots within which are wrought the signes or formes of things either quick or dead according to the invention of the work-master as it is well known in Ypres Bruges and some Cities of Heynault In the blazon of such Coats you must first name the colour or metall of the Field As touching their first severall Charges imposed upon these bordures afore-handled I should not I acknowledge have made mention of them at all in this place the order of my Method respected sed propter necessitatem nonnunquam recedendum est à regulis But the occasion offered to treat of the differences of bordures in this place enforced me to make untimely mention of those Charges to the intent I might yeeld some satisfaction to the Reader touching these variable formes which I could no way better perform than by demonstrative examples Exempla enim ponimus ut sentiant addiscentes Notwithstanding that I take here onely mentioned a bordure and imborduring for Ancient differences yet I doe not thereupon conclude Ancien differences their first use Antiquated that Antiquity was not acquainted with any other than these but the reason that I doe not particularly here discourse at large of those other Ancient differences is because the use of divers of them now as differences is antiquated and some of them are now used as Ordinaries or some other Charge of the Field which I shall afterward handle but not here because it sutes not with my intended method others of those Ancient ones are still in use as differences but to demonstrate some other younger brother than anciently they did and therefore now tearmed modern by changing of their first use Let it therefore suffice onely to name some of those first sort here mentioned as Orles Cotizes Bends c. Which how they then were disposed of in the Terminall Collaterall and Fixall Coat-Armours I refer you to Sir John Ferne and others who have writ plentifully of them In those elder times also the variation of Metall or Colour Transposition of Charge yea sometime change of the Charge or of part of the Charge transmutation of Metall into Furre and such like were used for distinctions of Families as you may observe in divers Authors and in the Coat-Armours of younger branches of many Ancient Families SECT I. CHAP. VI. Modern differences HItherto of the ancient manner of differencing Coat-Armours Next such as we call modern differences come in order to be handled I call those modern differences that are of a latter institution and put in use sithence the invention of bordures Such are these that follow and their like viz. the File Crescent Mullet Martlet Annulet Flower de-lis c. Files what What these Files are I cannot certainly avouch because I find that divers Authors and those very judiciall in matters of this kind doe diversly judge of them Opinion of Upton according to their severall conceits Vpton a man much commended for his skill in blazon and of some Armorists supposed to have been the first that made observation of their use but they are therein much deceived for that such use was made of them many ages before Vptons time calleth them Points such as men usually fasten their garments withall and saith they may be borne either even or odde to the number of nine Of Budaeus Budaeus an ancient Writer affirmeth them to be Tongs and that they may not be borne but odde Of Alciatus Alciatus in his Parergon nameth them Plaitez or Plaits of garments Bartolus calleth them Candles Some other Authors call them Files Of Bartolus and others Lambeaux or Labels In this so great uncertainty I forbear to determine any thing seeing those so learned cannot certainly resolve among themselves what they are Onely concerning their diverse manner of bearing these examples following will give light wherein I will begin with their single bearing and so will I proceed to their compound use Upton Vpton saith that Files are not borne for Armes but for differences of Armes Tales lingulae sive labellae saith he non dicuntur proprie signa sed
differentiae signorum Nevertheless in practice it falleth out otherwise as in this Coat here expressed and others following may be seen For we find that Labels are borne both single and manifold without any other manner of Charge so that it is clear that they are borne sometimes for Armes and not alwayes for Differences of Armes as by the second Escocheon following more plainly appeareth Note that as the Burdures before mentioned so also these Files are oftentimes charged with things as well quick as dead whereof I will give you some few examples in thse next Escocheons The Labell of the Heire apparent saith Wyrley is seldom transferred unto the second brother The Labell transferred upon occasion Wyrley but when the Inheritance goeth to the daughters of the Eldest brother in which case it was permitted unto him to bear the File as heir male of his family and as one that remained in expectancy of the Inheritance if the issue of his Neeces should fail Note that the second brother Rule might not intrude himself into the absolute Signes of his family the Inheritance being in his Neeces or Kinswomen Hugh de Hastings being a second brother and his posterity did bear a Labell for their difference upon the like occasion and for the reasons here mentioned Forasmuch as it hath been anciently questioned and for ought that I could ever see resteth as yet undecided by Bartholus Budaeus and other Judicious persons of their times whether Files or Labels should be borne with even points or odde some holding that they could not be borne but odde others maintaining they might be used indifferently as well even as odde In my former Impression I followed the stronger opinion and in all the precedent examples have produced patterns of unequall points Neverthelesse not so resting satisfied I have sithence endeavoured to examine their use the faithfullest interpreter of things doubtfull to which end I took occasion to peruse certain Miscellanean notes of Seals which I had gathered long agoe by which Seals it appeared they had been anciently used to be borne as well even as odde whereupon out of my desire to clear all doubts and to make every thing as perspicuous and manifold as I could I resolved to cut such Seals as came to my hands for the better approbation of this my assertion and content of the Reader and withall to set them down according to order of even bearing viz. 2. 4. 6. c. before I would conclude this Chapter of files As in example This piece of Evidence resteth amongst the writings or deeds of George Thorpe of Wanneswell Esquire and one of his Majesties Gent. Pensioners whose residence is in the Parish of Barckley in the County of Gloucester An example of a file with four points followeth in this next Escocheon This Coat might have been more aptly placed hereafter in the second Section amongst Ordinaries of diverse kinds borne one upon another But that I desired to place all my Labels of even points together without interruption though I digressed somewhat therein by giving way to necessity albeit with breach of Rule and Order Nonnunquam enim propter excellentiam seu necessitatem receditur à Regulis This form of bearing of Files with four points is also warranted by Rowles of great Antiquity As appeareth by the Coat of Sir Thomas Leyhourne that bare Azure six Lionceux Rampant Or a File of four points Gules which I doe here passe over as well for brevity as for impertinency thereof to this place in respect of the Lions the principall charge thereof Note here a strange bearing of a File Will. de C. fil Will. de Curli c. pro Salute Antecess c. terr in Territorio de Langle 20. Henr. 3. Teste Hug. le Poer Vicecom Warwick Henr. de Napford Roberto de Clopton milit This example serveth to confirm my former assertion that Files are not onely borne for differences but sometimes for the onely Charge of the Coat-Armour as appeareth by the Coat of Henlington whereof I have given Example elsewhere and herein we may observe a rare form of position thereof in bend Sinister For the shunning of multiplicity of Examples I will give an instance of a Coat-Armour comprehending both sorts of Files viz. even and odde points which for that it is simple and unmixt with any Ordinary or Common Charge may serve instead of all As in example Now if any man will demand of me why I doe spend my oyle and travell in things of so small moment To such I answer that so long as I travell to find out the truth I reckon my travell well bestowed though the matter be of never so small importance Suave enim est in minimis etiam vera scire There is yet another form of bearing of files diverse from these before mentioned which albeit the same be not in use with us but seemeth to be a Nationall Custom peculiar to the Kingdome of France Neverthelesse sithence I have undertaken to treat amongst things of the use of Blazoning Coat-Armour I would not willingly omit any forme of bearing or other remarkable thing that might make either my self or the Reader more expert in the use of Blazon This forme of bearing files which I will now shew you is not distant some little space from the upper part of the Chief after the most usuall fashion but groweth immediatly out of the Chief it self In like sort divers other noble Houses of France viz. of Valois of berry and of Allencon have Bordures either plain or engrailed or charged with Reysants those of Ever●ux bastons Or and Argent and they of Burbon bastons Gules Here may rise a question not unworthy our observation viz Whether like as the eldest brother is preferred before the second so the son of the eldest brother shall in like sort be preferred or take place before his Vncle And this hath been holden a great and difficult question a long season untill at length O ho the Emperour of Germany being at Trevere with his Barons this matter was there questioned he ordained that the cause should be decided by Combat wherin the Nephew hardly obtained the victory which because it was deemed to have proceeded by the secret Judgment of God it was decreed that from thenceforth the Nephew should be preferred before the Vncle Of this mind are Nich. Boerius Lucas de Penna and John de Montoleno that the Nephew should take place The like question hath risen in France between the second daughter and the son of the elder sister as well in Avionin a city of Narbone in France as in other parts therof Chassa in Catalogo suo de Glor. which remained long undetermined At length it was finally adjudged in the Court of Parliament holden at Paris for the Nephewes for whom also it was likewise decreed in the City of Avinon If any man shall demand of me how it commeth to pass that the Diminutions or Differences of Armes before
