Whence a latter learned Lawyer gathereth most truly that though the King substitute other to minister justice under him yet himself is not discharged of that authority when himself please as often as our Kings have done in person to sit and take notice of causes and likewise the Royall Oath at his Coronation runneth Facies fieri in omnibus judiciis tuis aequam certam justitiam c.

CHAP. VII SO much of the Accidents of Armes viz. Tincture and Differences comprehended in the first part of our premised distribution Now of the second member thereof viz. Parts of Armes The parts of Armes are the Escocheon Ornaments without the Escocheon An Escocheon is the form or representation of a Shield of what kind soever and is so called of the Latine word Scutum which hath the same signification whence also an Esquire or Page takes his name of Scutiger signifying primarily a Target bearer And the Target is not unaptly deduced from the Latine word tergus a beasts hide whereof at first Shields were made whereupon Pliny saith Tergus ad scuta galeasque impenetrabile An impenetrable hide fit to make a Shield And the Poet Statius caesis clypeos vestire juvencis With bullocks hides they clad their Shields Whence Virgil calls Ajax his Buckler Septemplex for the seven-fold doublings of leather Camden Brittan as elsewhere he describes a Target-duo taurea terga made of two Oxe hides But the clearest star of our Profession Mr. Clarenceaux takes it from the British word Tarian and that from the French Thireos which Pausanius saith is the Buckler in use amongst the old Gaules If any here should ask me why then Escocheons should be used in Heraldry sith other men are invested with Ensignes of honour besides Martiall men I answer them that as to Military men that token is proper for reward of that kind of service so if others by their Vertues Arts or Actions Escocheon an Hieroglyphike of defence advance either the honour or the welfare of their Countrey their service is as behoovefull as the others and themselves as Defenders or Preservers of their Countries peace and happiness as I have formerly shewed deserve likewise the reward of the Escocheon being the Hieroglyphick or Emblem of defence and preserving In which respect that good Prophet Eliah was called The Chariots and Horsemen of Israel And by the Civill Law Imp. in L. Advoc. C. de Advoc. an Advocate is sayd to be Miles a martiall man and to have the same prerogatives in that they doe civium vitam patrimonium defendere defend the life and livelihood of the Subjects Advocate termed Miles Touching the divers formes of Shields I will not here speak every Country almost having their diverse makings amongst which the smallest were in use amongst our old Britans as being most manageable the greatest amongst the Romans and Grecians as may appear by Alexander who being to passe a river used his Sheild for his Boat and his Spear for his Ruther to guide himself over And it was ever held more dishonorable for a man to lose his Buckler than his sword in field because it is more praise-worthy to defend a friend than to hurt a foe as a Noble Generall once said Mallem unum Civem c. I had rather save one good Subject than kill an hundred enemies The Accidents in this Escocheon are Points
Order of the Author and begin with the Ensigns of the Actions of Estate Civill and first with the Highest and Soveraign as in example The cause that moved the Aegyptians to insert a Crown amongst their sacred or Hierogliphicall letters may not impertinently be expressed in this place where we are to handle their divers forms according to the severall dignities and estates to whom they do appertain for as Gamesters make but cold sport when there is no mony at stake so knowledge doth oftentimes faint if it be not seasoned with the Salt of reason In this Hierogliphick we may observe the foure causes of the Law The efficient cause is understood by the head of the King that is adorned with this Crown The finall cause is conceived by the Flowers or by the profitable use of fruit which how great the same in likely-hood will be may be conjectured by the flowers The materiall cause may be gathered by the context or interlaced form and workmanship of the Crown which carryeth a resemblance of the people or Subjects Finally by the Orbicular form of the Crown is understood Justice and amongst Mathematicians the Sphericall form is reckoned the perfectest and most noble Farnes 3.65 The Prince is to the people the author of all goodnesse inasmuch as from him as from a plentifull Fountain doth flow a sweet current of plentifull streams of honour profit and pleasure In regard whereof he is reputed to be the common parent of all his Subjects in that he affordeth unto them whatsoever a Naturall parent oweth to his Children The platting of these flowers in the Crown doth represent the end of the Law which end hath his determinate period in utility Farnes 4.66 for that Tree which beareth no blossomes for the most part produceth no fruit at all Ibid. Crowns in times past have been of great value and sumptuously enriched with precious stones as we may read 1 Chro. 20.2 And David took the Crown of their King from off his head and found it to weigh a Talent of Gold and there were precious stones in it And it was set on Davids head In these latter ages the Emperour elected before his Coronation doth write himself King of the Romans as a Title of lesse esteem and dignity than is the title of Emperour But in ancient times the Romans had three degrees of supream dignity that is to say a King a Dictator an Emperour and of these the dignity of a King was the chiefest and next thereto the dignity of a Dictator was holden the worthiest And after the Dictatorship the estate of an Emperour held the third place as inferiour to both the other Hereof we have a manifest proof in that the Senate and people of Rome minding to give unto Octavian the Emperour being a man well deserving of them some advancement or increase of honour and dignity they purposed to make him Dictator which he reverently bowing his knee refused for that he reputed the same a Dignity more ambitious and of greater esteem and withall more subjected to spite and envy Esteeming the Title of the Emperour to be popular and of small account in comparison of the eminency of a Dictatorship We may easily perceive by this that Julius Caesar that time he was Dictator did affect to aspire to the dignity of a King for which cause he was slain forasmuch as the Citizens could not endure that he should exercise Royall authority over them but well could they suffer him to use the power of a Dictator as a jurisdiction of lesse esteem Leonard Aretini Epistolar Lib. 5. There can be but one King at one time in a Realme whose power must be absolute for the better managing of the estate and affaires thereof for if there be more they will crosse and hinder each other in his government and so destroy the nature of a King in that neither of them can sway the whole weale-publick but each of them should admit a participation in government This do both ancient and modern times manifest unto us by examples for neither Numa nor Hostilius nor Ancus Martius nor any other of succeeding Kings of the Romans could endure any fellow or copartner in government the like also may we observe in Kings of modern times for neither doth England or France admit more than one King at once to sway the Soveraign state but one alone hath the sole government So that it is a thing meerly repugnant to the naturall Royall Jurisdiction that two persons at one time should exercise Kingly Authority It is in your choice whether you will term the foresaid Crowns Or or not for it sufficeth onely to mention their Forme because it is proper to them to be made of Gold But when they are found to be borne in other kind of Metals or Colours you should in Blazoning make mention whereof they are A Scepter with many nations is holden for an especiall ensigne of Royall Jurisdiction and authority and the extending thereof a speciall note of the placability and Royall favour of the King As we may see Hester 15.14 And he held up his golden Scepter and laid it upon her Neck That the Scepter betokeneth jurisdiction and authority it is manifest by that which is written Baruc. 6.13 One holdeth a Scepter as if he were a Judge of the Country yet can he not slay such as offend him Which is here spoken of the vanity of the Idols before mentioned in the same Chapter Now shall you see in Babylon Gods of Silver and of Gold and of wood borne upon mens shoulders to cause them to fear Hitherto of Honorary Ensignes that serve for a Declaration of the Royall Majesty or function of an Emperour or King and are worne by the persons themselves that do exercise Soveraign Jurisdiction over their Subjects within their Dominions To which Ensigns I hold it not impertinent to adde these few Attires or Ornaments following viz. Garters and Tassels as in example Now of those other Honorary Ensigns that are born before an Emperour or King or Persons that do exercise Soveraign Jurisdiction as their Vicegerents holding place of Supream dignity under them in signification of that their dignity which for brevities sake I will here onely name leaving their examples to be hereafter observed Such are the Sword of Estate the Canopy of Estate the Cap of maintenance the Purse wherein the great Seal is borne the great Mace c. All which shall follow hereafter in place convenient SECT IV. CHAP. II. Ensignes Ecclesiasticall HAving in the former Chapter discoursed of things Honorary representing Estate or Dignity Temporall Let us now consider of such Ornaments as bear a representation of Estate or Dignity Ecclesiasticall according to the distribution thereof of which sort are these ensuing examples In Blazon here you shall not say debruised or oppressed both in respect the Croysier extendeth not to the extremities of the Escocheon as also in respect of the slender substance thereof whereby it may be

There I tell not the Colour of these Ogresses or Pellets because they be alwayes Sable as shall be more plainly shewed in the conclusion of this fourth Section The Arrow is reckoned one of the number of weapons destinated to avengement as appeareth Deut. 32.42 I will make mine Arrowes drunk with bloud and my sword shall eat flesh for the bloud of the slain and of the Captains when I begin to take vengeance of the Enemy Sometimes you shall find both these martiall weapons borne together in one Escocheon as in this next appeareth The Pheon is the head of an Instrument of the Missile sort which we call a Dart the same being a long and light Staff headed after this manner and having a Thong fastened to the midst thereof for the more sleighty and strong forcing the same against the enemy to keep or annoy him afar off This is called in Latine Jaculum quia è longinquo jaciatur it pierceth speedily and maketh a large wound by reason of the wide spreading barbs thereof The bearing of Pheons is both ancient and commendable And hitherto of Missils we now come to Manuals Weapons Manual are so called because manu tractantur they are managed by the hand when by the use of them we do assaile our foes or put away profered wrong by encountering or grapling with them at handy strokes Such are these that follow and their like Which is a good Sword Seneca sheweth in these words Gladium bonum dices non cui deauratus est balthaeus nec cui vagina gemmis distinguitur sed cui ad secandum subtilis est acies This Yoke consisteth of three Spears whereof two were pitched upright and the third was bound crosse-wayes to them both under this Yoke were both enforced to passe that their reproach might be the greater Before a man shall go about to buckle with his enemies it behoveth that the Army be fully furnished and provided with all sorts of Military provisions both defensive and offensive by the example of Vzziah King Judah of whom it is said Vzziah had also an hoste of fighting men that went out to war by bands according to the count of their number under the hand of Jeiel c. And Vzziah prepared them throughout all the hoste Shields and Speares and Helmets and Briggandines and bowes and stones to sling 2 Chron. 26.11.14 As concerning the quantity or weight of Spears heads we find in them in all Ages answerable to the strength of the persons that were to manage them So we read that the Speare-head of Golias that encountred with David weighed six hundred sheckles of Iron which was correspondent to his speare that was resembled for bignesse to a Weavers beame as also to the hugenesse of his stature which was six cubits and a hands breadth 1 Sam. 17.4 Also we read of Ishbibenob the son of Haraphah of the race of the Giants whose head of his speare weighed three hundred sheckles of brasse even he being girded with a new Sword thought to have slain David Now I shall I hope without any great breach of Method demonstrate the bearing in Armory of some part of a Tilt-speare or Tilt-stave call it which you please which kind of weapon or instrument although it be not of any use in the wars yet the well-managing thereof maketh a man the more expert for military service on horseback and therefore may challenge to be ranked among martiall weapons managed with the hand A sheweth unto you the Burre which is a broad ring of Iron behind the hand or place made for the hand which Burre is brought unto the Rest when the Tilter chargeth his Spear or Staffe B sheweth the hand or place for the hand C demonstrateth the Cronell Cronett or Coronett which occasioneth this discourse and this next figure maketh plain unto you what the vamplet of a Tilt-speare or Tilt-staffe is This vamplet demonstrated by the letter D is of steele and is used for the safeguard of the Tilters hand and is taken off and put on to the staffe or speare at pleasure And for the further clearing of this point it is expressed in the Charge from the Master of the Armory to the Yeoman of the Tilt-staves thus Tilt-staves with Coronets and Burres Serviceable Vnserviceable Vamplets Serviceable To be repaired Vnserviceable Expressing the particular numbers of every of them Alphabet L. 1. And in an ancient Book remaining in the Office of Armes I find Wisemans Coat Blazoned a Cheuron between three Cronels I could here if it would suit with my intended brevity enter into a large discourse of the Noble and Knightlike exercise of Tilting which is the Schoole of Chivalry and Horsemanship without the knowledge whereof the Horseman in the wars can do little good service Tilting is called Hippomachia from the Greek words 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 i. Equus and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 i. pugna it is also called by the Latines Ludus militaris or Ludus Troiae for Troy was the place where it was first invented as some are of opinion Diverse Statutes and Ordinances have been made by the Commandements of former Kings of this Realme concerning Royall Justs and Tiltings within this Kingdome Ordin Stat. and Rules of Joh. Lord Tiptoft Earle of Worc. const of England dated 29 Maii 6â— Edward 4. which do sufficiently prove their former use to have been more frequent than now they are and it is much to be wished that this Royall and honourable exercise might be more frequently practised to which none are to be admitted as actors by the ancient Ordinances but such as are well known unto the King of Armes of that Province where it is to be performed to be Gentlemen of Coat-armour Bloud and descent but no more of this at this time which deserveth rather a Volume than a Page for setting out its due Commendation and Antiquity To this head must all other Martiall Instruments of these natures not hitherto handled be reduced whether they pertain to order and direction or else to Execution and bestowed under
his own amongst those people which in right and conscience do owe him obedience that they may be thereby induced the sooner to submit themselves to him as to their true and lawfull Soveraign or Lord. So did Edward the third King of England when he set on foot his Title to the Kingdom of France shewing forth the Arms of France quartered in his royall Banner with the Arms of England But for such persons as are but Commanders under them it is very absurd sith thereof ensue oftentimes many dangerous errors Et irrecuperabilis est error qui violentia Martis committitur Having before made mention of an Inescocheon and of the bearing of the Arms of the Femme by the Baron after issue received by her An inescocheon she being an inheretrix I will now here give you an example as well to shew the occasion of such bearing as also the manner and situation thereof As for the antiquity of bearing of Inescocheons Antiquity of Inescocheons I find them very anciently used a long time by the Emperors of Germany for they always placed an Inescocheon of their Paternall coat on the brest of the Imperiall Eagle And also divers Noble and Worthy Families of this Land used the like bearing in severall Reigns of sundry of our Kings viz. In the time of Richard the second Simon Burley bare in an Inescocheon the Arms of Husly In the time of Henry the fifth Richard Beauchamp the great Earl of Warwick bare the Arms of Spenser and Clare quarterly in an Inescocheon over his own Paternal coat-armour and many other in like sort Concerning the bearing of the wives coat-armour by the husband Impaled or otherwise there are some that do boldly affirm Of the wives Coat-Armour born by the Husband that it is not permitted by Law but only tolerated through custom and do with Chassaneus alledge for proof thereof Quod Arma non transeunt ad cognatos affines Toleration through custom quia cognati descendentes ex femina non sunt de familia because by reason of her marriage she renounceth the name of the Family whereof she is descended and assumeth the name of her Husbands Family as we formerly shewed where we intreated of differences which are not permitted to the Females And an especiall reason thereof may be this Quia agnationis dignitas semper debet esse salva the Agnation which is of the Fathers side must be preserved entire and therefore the Honor or Arms of it not to be carried into another Family Now because some misunderstanding the Rule given in the sixth Chapter of the first Section where it is said that to daughters never were any differences allowed do hold that the husband in the impaling of his wives coat-armour with his own may omit such difference as her father admitting him to be a younger brother or descended of a younger brother bore to distinguish him from the elder brother I think it not amiss here to observe unto the young Student in Armory that every Gentleman of coat-armour which marrieth a Gentlewoman whose father did bear any difference in his coat ought in the Impalement of his wives Arms to retain the same difference which her father bore as in example But now to return to marshalling If a Coat-Armour that is bordured be born sole of it self then shall the bordure inviron the Coat round but if such a coat be marshalled Paleways with another as a Marriage then must that part of the bordure which respecteth the coat annexed give place thereunto whether the coat bordured be marshalled on the dexter part of the Escocheon or the sinister as in Example By occasion of this Bordure I will shew you in like manner how if a Coat-Armour bordured be honoured with a Canton quarter c. the bordure must in like manner give place unto them as in these next examples may be seen Parce puer stimulis fortius utere loris Ovid. Be sparing of thy spurs but bridle strongly use Note that if a bordured Coat be to be Marshalled amongst other coats quarterly then shall no part of the bordure be omitted but the bordure shall environ the same round except it be honoured with a chief canton quarter c. as aforesaid even as it were born alone of it self SECT VI. CHAP. II. FRom such Marshallings as do betoken Marriage Of Marshallings betokening the gift of the Soveraign I come to such as betoken a Gift of the Soveraign by way of augmentation These are bestowed either for favour or merit though the very winning of favour with Soveraign Princes must be also reputed merit because Principibus placuisse viris non ultima laus est To win great Princes love great praise it merits Of the first sort are all those Armoriall signs which the Soveraign to honour the Bearer and to dignifie his Coat-Armour doth annex to the Paternal coat of some especiall favorites imparting unto them some parcel of his Royall Ensigns or Badges that so he may transfer to posterities some monument of his gracious favour and of those some are marshalled paleways and others otherways Of the first sort are the next Escocheons and their like wherein the propriety of place is due to those of free gift which must be marshalled on the dexter side of the Escocheon before the Paternal coat Ob reverentiam munificentiae Regalis As in Example Other sorts of bearing These may serve sufficiently to exemplifie the bearing of augmentations or additions of Honour annexed to Paternall Coat-Armours Paleways Now shall follow such as are Marshalled with them after some other manner for in some of them there is annexed a part in a part in other some the whole in a part By a part in a part I mean the annexing of a parcel of the Royall Ensigns or Badges of the Soveraign in or upon some one portion of the Escocheon A part in a part what as in or upon a Canton Chief Quarter c. as followeth in these next examples Sometimes these Augmentations are found to be borne upon the Chief of the Escocheon above the Paternall Coat as in this next example Whole in a part what Now in the next place by the whole in a part I mean the bearing of the Royall Ensigns of the Soveraign wholy in some part of the Escocheon as in example Thus much for tokens of the Soveraigns favour which kind of gifts though they proceed also from high merit for the most part in the receivers yet we rather entitle them favours then merits because their gratitude is the greater by whom such Princely regards are rather imputed to their Soveraigns meer bounty then to their own desert SECT VI. CHAP. III. Of augmentations of merit IN the precedent Chapter enough hath been said of augmentations or additions of Honour bestowed by the Soveraign in token of Princely favour Now of such as he giveth in remuneration of merit either immediately by himself or mediately
some Noble Family yet are they themselves but ignoble persons Foure parts of Nobility In which respect Aristotle discoursing of nobility makes foure parts thereof the first of Riches the second of Bloud the third of Learning the fourth of Vertue and to the two last he ascribeth the first place of true Gentry because Boores may be rich and Rake-hels may be of ancient bloud but vertue and knowledge cannot harbour but where God and nature hath left their noble endowments Which made Bartholus to say that good men and wise men were nobles in Gods sight as rich men and great men were nobles in mens eyes Threefold Nobility according to Bartho Yet the same Bartholus ascribeth the due honour unto each kind of Nobility which he maketh to be three-fold Theologicall Naturall Politicall the first and chief consisteth in Piety and vertues of grace the second in the noble qualities of Nature the third in the degrees of estimation in the Common-wealth This last is it we here chiefly meddle with not that we reject the two former but that we suppose we live in such a State where the two first kinds of Nobility are rewarded with the last kind and thereby made more illustrious The common phrase of forrain Nations is different from ours Different phrase of Nations concerning the Titles of men of reputation they esteeming every man Noble which hath any excellency remarkable above others so saith Iodocus Clicthovius Nobilitas est generis vel alterius rei excellentia ac dignitas whereas we English repute none noble under the degree of a Baron and with them Generosus is a greater title than Nobilis whereas with us it is much inferiour The truth is that the two titles of Nobility and Gentry are of equall esteem in the use of Heraldry though custom hath equally divided them and applyed the first to Gentry of the highest degree and the latter to Nobles of the lowest rank Distinct orders of Gentry And amongst these Gentlemen of low note there are also sundry Orders as some by bloud some by office some by possessions some by sacred Academicall dignity all which come not within the verge of this our purpose till the State hath honoured them with the bearing of Coat-Armours as the Ensigns of their worth CONCILII NVTRIX TACI TVRNIAS The Atchievement of a Gentleman HE beareth two Coats quarterly first Argent a Fesse Ermine cottised Sable by the name of Harlstone secondly Sable a Cheuron between three Leopards heads Or by the name of Wentworth and for his Crest on a Helmet befitting his degree mantled Gules doubled Argent out of a Crown Or a Stags Head Ermine attired Or bearing a Hawthorne bush with berries proper And for his Motto Concilii nutrix taciturnitas This is the Atchievement or Bearing of Robert Harlestone now Secretary to the Right Honourable William Lenthall Esquire Master of the Rolls and Speaker of the Parliament begun the third of November 1640. second Son of John Harlestone of South Osindon in the County of Essex and of Jane Daughter and Coheire of Philip Wentworth a younger Brother of the Lord Wentworth of Netlested Of this Family have been divers eminent persons as Sir John Harl ston Governour of Hauure-du-grace in the time of Edward the fourth Richard Harleston Valectus de Camera to the King and conquered for the Crown of England the Islands of Garnesey and Jersey COLENS DEVM ET REGEM The Atchievement of an Esquire HE beareth two Coats impaled Baron and Femme the first Gules on a Bend Or three Martlets Sable by the name of Collins the second Azure a Fesse between three Chesse-rooks Or by the name of Bodenham ensigned with Helmets befitting the persons quality on Wreaths of the Colours of the Coats on the first a demy Griffon Or collered Argent the second a Dragons head erased Sable The Motto Colens deum regem This is the bearing of Samuel Collins Doctor in Physick late Fellow of Trinity Colledge in Cambridge onely Son of John Collins late Parson of Retherfield in Sussex descended from the ancient Family of the Collins of the Counties of Somerset and Devon which Doctor marryed Anne eldest Daughter of John Bodenham Esquire lineally descended from the Knightly and ancient Family of the Bodenhams of Wiltshire and Herefordshire alli'd to divers of the ancient Families of the Nobility and Gentry The Dignity of an Esquire is the second degree of Gentry the reason of whose denomination we gave elsewhere As in the first rank of Gentry so in this there are sundry kinds according to the custom of this Kingdom concerning which point you may read learned Master Cambden in his Britannia and by the custom of England Doctors whether of Divinity Civil Law or Physick are esteemed Esquires HE bears two Coats quarterly viz.
