A15801	The true vse of armorie shewed by historie, and plainly proued by example: the necessitie therof also discouered: with the maner of differings in ancient time, the lawfulnes of honorable funerals and moniments: with other matters of antiquitie, incident to the aduauncing of banners, ensignes, and marks of noblenesse and cheualrie, by William Wyrley.

i_o mistake_v that_o then_o it_o will_v please_v such_o as_o be_v of_o judgement_n or_o skill_n to_o justify_v the_o same_o as_o well_o do_v and_o i_o shall_v most_o willing_o yield_v to_o authority_n

fair_a ancient_a and_o know_v mark_n which_o their_o elder_n for_o the_o most_o part_n have_v usual_o before_o time_n carry_v or_o at_o least_o themselves_o have_v then_o take_v if_o they_o but_o

you_o of_o all_o sort_n which_o shall_v make_v choice_n of_o banner_n which_o you_o call_v colour_n so_o curtain_n like_o and_o so_o far_o from_o all_o due_a order_n of_o ancient_n bear_v as_o may_v

be_v able_a to_o decipher_v the_o error_n that_o be_v daily_o commit_v in_o this_o one_o point_n nor_o discern_v or_o know_v one_o banner_n or_o standard_n from_o another_o be_v the_o same_o never_o so_o large_a so_o that_o except_o it_o be_v to_o be_v make_v in_o a_o pedigree_n or_o descent_n to_o lock_v up_o in_o a_o evidence_n chest_n thereby_o to_o show_v man_n title_n to_o their_o land_n or_o the_o alliance_n and_o kindred_n of_o their_o house_n otherwise_o as_o i_o say_v i_o see_v not_o to_o any_o use_n in_o the_o world_n they_o serve_v special_o so_o many_o together_o to_o be_v make_v upon_o a_o man_n vesture_n target_n or_o banner_n and_o therefore_o i_o can_v wish_v that_o every_o man_n will_v content_v himself_o with_o his_o own_o peculiar_a coat_n of_o name_n and_o not_o to_o use_v above_o one_o quarter_v therewith_o at_o the_o most_o which_o one_o yet_o do_v not_o so_o much_o trouble_v the_o capacity_n of_o a_o man_n but_o that_o he_o may_v both_o know_v and_o discern_v a_o banner_n or_o shield_n well_o enough_o and_o this_o one_o do_v i_o the_o rather_o esteem_v well_o of_o to_o be_v bear_v for_o that_o a_o prince_n or_o noble_a man_n make_v challenge_n or_o title_n to_o any_o country_n for_o which_o he_o be_v force_v to_o make_v war_n before_o he_o can_v obtain_v it_o it_o will_v be_v a_o goodly_a thing_n for_o he_o to_o show_v forth_o his_o standard_n of_o the_o arm_n of_o that_o country_n quarter_v with_o his_o own_o amongst_o those_o people_n which_o in_o reason_n and_o conscience_n owe_v he_o duty_n and_o obedience_n to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o may_v thereby_o be_v the_o soon_o induce_v to_o submit_v themselves_o to_o their_o true_a and_o lawful_a sovereign_a as_o his_o subject_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n as_o i_o take_v it_o king_n edward_n the_o three_o and_o his_o valiant_a son_n devise_v and_o show_v forth_o the_o arm_n of_o france_n and_o england_n quarter_v together_o and_o although_o my_o author_n say_v that_o jaques_n dartuell_n a_o honey_n trier_n of_o gaunt_n be_v the_o first_o deviser_n thereof_o yet_o will_v i_o not_o believe_v otherwise_o but_o that_o the_o principal_a reason_n that_o lead_v the_o king_n thereto_o be_v to_o make_v know_v the_o justness_n of_o his_o title_n to_o that_o kingdom_n where_o he_o than_o intend_v to_o make_v war_n but_o now_o it_o may_v be_v object_v since_o a_o prince_n or_o great_a lord_n may_v have_v title_n to_o several_a country_n that_o therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o he_o to_o bear_v all_o such_o token_n or_o mark_n as_o he_o have_v title_n too_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o although_o i_o can_v yield_v to_o they_o but_o that_o it_o will_v bring_v the_o confusion_n aforesaid_a yet_o be_v it_o of_o no_o such_o necessity_n for_o that_o a_o man_n needs_o to_o show_v his_o title_n but_o only_o to_o they_o who_o he_o mean_v to_o subdue_v and_o if_o it_o shall_v fortune_n that_o he_o have_v title_n to_o diverse_a and_o several_a country_n and_o that_o he_o will_v make_v war_n to_o they_o all_o at_o once_o yet_o shall_v it_o not_o be_v needful_a to_o he_o to_o show_v forth_o any_o more_o mark_n quarter_v in_o one_o standard_n but_o only_o unto_o every_o several_a country_n the_o arm_n of_o that_o nation_n quarter_v with_o his_o own_o but_o this_o be_v the_o case_n of_o king_n and_o prince_n wherein_o amongst_o other_o our_o most_o famous_a noble_a and_o worthy_a king_n and_o prince_n of_o this_o land_n have_v show_v themselves_o most_o prudent_a and_o wise_a to_o what_o purpose_n be_v it_o that_o other_o be_v but_o commander_n under_o their_o prince_n and_o which_o of_o themselves_o have_v neither_o title_n to_o country_n nor_o be_v able_a to_o maintain_v war_n shall_v in_o their_o princess_n service_n pester_v their_o banner_n and_o shield_n with_o such_o a_o infinite_a number_n as_o many_o do_v and_o in_o this_o point_n i_o can_v enough_o commend_v the_o baron_n of_o stafford_n who_o herein_o show_v his_o great_a skill_n and_o temperance_n for_o althongh_v his_o ancestor_n have_v have_v title_n to_o quarter_v the_o mark_n of_o that_o valiant_a thomas_n of_o wodstocke_n young_a son_n of_o king_n
