fortune that he had title to divers and several countries and that he would make wars to them all at once yet should it not be needful to him to shew forth any more marks quartered in one Standard but onely unto every several Country the Arms of that nation quartered with his own But this being the case of Kings and Princes wherein amongst others our most famous noble and worthy Kings and princes of this land have shewed themselves most prudent and wise to what purpose is it that others bring out commanders under their prince and which of themselves have neither title to country nor are able to maintain wars should in their princes service pester their Banners and shields with such an infinite number as many do And in this point I cannot enough commend the Baron of Stafford who herein sheweth his great skill and temperance for although his Ancestors have had title to quarter the marks of that valiant Thomas of Woodstock youngest son of King Edward the third Earl of Buckingham and Duke of Glocester of Bohune Earl of Hereford and Northamton and high Cunstable of England and also of that great house of Somerset which by their ancestors John Earl of Somerset younger son to John of Gaunt descended from the same king Edward the third I omit to speak of divers Barons and others of great estate whose heires both with revenue and honor enlarged greatly his family yet the said Baron contents himself with the paternal mark of his house It were to be wished that this matter of Quartering should be reformed as well for untruths therein oftentimes committed as for the titles that may be brought in question thereby to lands and Heritages And as being one of the chiefest things that bringeth honour of Armory into disgrace for not long ago heard I one speak in this manner Did I not quoth he know the grandfather of this man speaking of the owner of a Scuchion wherein were quartered many marks to purchase by plain patent although he never were man at Armes both his coat and crest within these forty years and how comes it now to pass that I see his nephew invested in all this Armory numbring many and divers several devices all in one shield by way of quartering this being a very mockery to see a man of no valour or estimation in warlike affairs and the paternal Ancestors of whom for ought that can be proved were not in any late age welders of Arms to entrude themselves into so many Badges of Armory is not the least matter to bring into contempt an order so honourable and necessary as the bearing of Arms is Differences in Arms to younger children and their Descendents Another matter that to my understanding is also to be reformed is the manner of differings which are by the younger Brothers and their posterities laid upon their marks being cressants mollets c. and that such little ones as that a man cannot discern them a very small distance from him which differences are in reason to be made fair plain and large that they may be also as easie to be discover'd as any other Devise that is in the Coat Shield or Banner otherwise they serve not to the purpose for which marks were first ordained And the inconvenience which ensueth of this error will the more easily appear if I but set you down the words of mine Author treating of an accident that happened in such a case which be these Et feist Mr. Robert Baileul alter sa Banniere tout devant en escriant Moriannes les Henuiers qui ia estoint esthauses Aperceurent la Banniere de Moriannes qui encore estoit tout Droicte si cuiderent que ce feust la leur ou ilz se deuoient radresser car mult petitey auoit de difference de lune a l'autre car les Armes Moriennes sount Barres contre Barres d' Argent d' Azure a deux Cheverons de Gueules Et le cheveron de Mr. Robert auoit vne petite crosete d'or si ne l'adviserent mye bien les Hennuiers ainsi vindrent bouter de fait dessubs la Banniere de Mr. Robert si furent moult fierement reboutes et tous discomfis For these Honours being led by Sir William Baileul thought in the stir and business to have come to his Banner hearing the surname of Moriens called upon and seeing as they supposed their captains ensigne and the difference of Sir Robert being the younger Brother but a little cross upon the upper cheuron they could not appercieve so that the most of them were either slain or taken and the elder Brother the Knight their leader was glad to save himself as well as he might The Lord of Cowcie son in law to King Edward the third suffered also reproch through the hard dealings of the Lord of Chine who raised his Banner against certain Englishmen of Sir Hugh Caveleys company being either the same that Cowcies was or the difference so small as might not be discerned whereby the said Lord Cowcy though he were absâ—nt as far as Austrich had dishonour spoken of him as in the discourse of the Capital I have touched Thus then having shewed by example the harm and inconvenience that cannot but many times happen through the littleness and niceness of such differences I have thought it not amiss to lay before you the differings that antiquity used that by comparing them together you may discern the great wisdom of our ancestors and our own imperfections in this point for want of due consideration which was done at the first by changing of the device born into other colors only but when that would not suffice for the number of leaders many times all of one house then were they forced to vary their marks by adding of either Bars Bends cheurons cheefes quarters Borders labels losinges or such like and very seldome should you see in those times cressant mollet or such like small thing born for a difference and if any did yet was the same so large and fair that it might be seen as well as any other device which should be in the Shield or Banner And for the proof I will give you the example but of one house onely for your better information though I could do the like of many others namely that of the Bassets who indeed in my judgment varied their marks of honour very finely and that upon good respect A multitude more as my authour hath already hinted were it not for brevityes sake might be instanced from the practise of sundry branches of Noble-families whereof I shall only make mention of some few which are not unknown to most pretenders to Herauldry Such are those of Grey of Codnore
