A70582	The science of herauldry, treated as a part of the civil law, and law of nations wherein reasons are given for its principles, and etymologies for its harder terms.	Mackenzie, George, Sir, 1636-1691.	1680 (1680)	Wing M204; ESTC R21727	101,290	109

in Blazoning we only say With Crown Helmet and Mantling befitting his degree without expressing the Colours But since Mantlings represent only the Coverts of Shields and must be represented all torn I see no reason why they should with us represent the Robes of our Noblemen and of old with us our Mantlings were of the colour of the Coats lin'd or doubl'd with the Metalls which was more proper than that we now use Sometimes the Atchievement stands within a Pavilion as that of the Emperour and King of France this Petra Sancta calls Tentorium and is as he observes competent only to Princes though all use them not But I admire why the Kings of England did not assume as well the Pavilion as Arms of France seing that is one of the special Honours of that Kingdom But yet Subjects use Mantlings in form of a Pavilion as is to be seen in the Atchievement of Belchier of Gilsborough represented by Guilims pag. 409. And these Pet. Sanct. calls Chlamys Vmbella or Palliolum pag. 642. where he also informs us that the General of the Pope's Armies carries ratione Officii his Arms within a Pavilion or Tent. CHAP. XXVIII Of WREATHS ABove the Helmet immediately did stand the Wreath which the French call Burlet and in our ancient Scots Herauldry it was call'd the Roll or Row because of its shape Sometimes the English and we in imitation of them do terme it a Torse Ã torquendo It was a Corde of their Mistresses Colours as Favin relates pag. 1. cap. 3. fol. 24. and did hang and dangle to the very Cruppers of their Horses the Extremities being tassl'd and enrich'd The use of it was to fasten their Mantlings to their Helmet Now these Wreaths should be of the colours of the Field and Charge and the Rule is That the first should be that of the Field and then that of the immediate Charge and after that the next mediate and so forth if there be moe Charges than one yet some old Wreaths with us differ from these and possibly these have been at first Mistresses colours Though the Earl Marshal bear arg on a Chief Or three Pales gules yet his Wreath is Or and Gules whereas it should have been Arg. Or and Gules The Earl of Nithisdale arg a double Eagle sable membred gules yet his Wreath arg and sable yet this may be ascribed as an errour of the Painter but it should be reform'd When moe Coats are quarter'd the Colours of the Paternal Coat are only to be twisted in the Wreath and this Rule is observ'd in all our Atchievements two or three excepted which may be reform'd without naming the Bearers If the Field be charg'd with a Furr and colour then some make the Wreath to be of that same Furr and Colour Thus the Earl of Lowâ—on bears Gyronâ—e of 8 pieces Ermine and Gules and his Wreath is Ermine and Gules but I think that the Wreath should never consist of any Furr for Furr is not fit to be twisted in a Wreath nor to bind the Helmet which was the use of a Wreath nor did I ever see any such Wreath in approven Authors and we say constantly On a Wreath of his colours but never of his Furrs so that these who carry only Furrs in their Shield should carry a Wreath of these Colours as if Ermine then White and Black c. CHAP. XXIX Of CRESTS THe Ancients did wear the shapes of several Creatures or some such things above their Helmets call'd Crista to make them appear terrible Virg. lib. 8. Aen. Terribilem Cristis Galeam flamasque vomentem Or to distinguish them in Battell Sed cum centuriones Galeas haberent ferreas transversis tamen argentatis Eristis quo facilius agnoscerentur Ã suis Veget. lib. 2. cap. 16. Or to adorn their Helmet Stat. lib. 2. Interdum Cristas hilaris jactare comantes That these are Iuris Gentium in use amongst and approven by all Nations is clear from Limn lib. cap. 6 num 74. and now all such as are allowed to wear Helmets are allowed to adorn them with Crests and for Crests men choose what they fancy only it is not proper to choose such things as could not stand or be carry'd by Warriours upon their Helmets such as Ballances or such other things which cannot either stand fixt or wave with Beauty The French call the Crest Cimier because it stands upon the top of the Shield sur la Cime de L'escu but the old and proper term us'd in Scotland for a Crest was a Badge because our Noblemen in riding Parliaments and at other Solemnities do bear their Crest wrought out in a Plate of Gold or Silver upon their Lacquies Coats which are of Velvet And now the Crest is us'd upon all Seals and Plates and therefore it is necessar for Noblemen amongst us to carry differing Crests from the chief Family out of which they are descended It is ordinar to bear for a Crest a part of what is born in the Charge thus the Crest of Scotland is a Lyon the Crest of England is a Leopard the Crest of France a double Flower de lis And with us the Earl of Dumfermling carrys a Cressent and the Earl of Lothian a Sun in his Glory sometimes also the Crest is a part of the Supporters thus the Earl of Linlithgow carrys for his Crest a Demy-Savage proper holding a Batton in Hand dexter and his Supporters are two Savages with Battons The Earl of Weems carry's for his Crest a Swan proper and his Supporters are two Swans Sometimes also the Crest is bestow'd by the Prince as a Reward of Service done to the Crown and the Royal Crest cannot be born without special warrand and thus the Earl of Lauderdale bears the Crest of Scotland for his Crest having a Flower de-lis in place of the Scepter Sometimes it is relative to Alliances and thus the Earl of Kinghorn bears for his Crest a Lady to the West holding in her right Hand the Royal Thistle and inclosed within a Circle of Laurells in memory of the honour that Family had in marrying King ROBERT the second 's Daughter Sometimes it represents some valiant Act done by the Bearer thus M cclelland of Bombie did and now the Lord Kirkcudbright does bear a naked Arm supporting on the point of a sword a Mores head because Bombie being forfeited his Son kill'd a More who came in with some Sarazens to infest Galloway to the Killer of whom the King had promised the Forfeiture of Bombie and thereupon he was restored to his Fathers land as his Evidents yet testifie Sometimes it respects the Title of the Bearer thus the Lord Ross of Halkhead bears for his Crest a Falcons head eras'd Sometimes it relates to an Office or Employment thus the Lord Iohnstoun being Warden of the Marches and very famous for repressing Robbery took for his Crest a Spurr with Wings Sometimes it is Ã rebus that is to say something borrow'd from

of Seatoun in the 2. and 3. arg a wing'd Dragon vert vomiting fire which Dragon is the Crest of his eldest brother the Earl of Winton But I approve not this way of Marshalling and I would rather allow a second Brother or any Cadet when nobilitated to bear the Arms of the house with a difference except he were oblig'd by his marrying an Heretrix to quarter her Arms or had got some Symbole of his Majesties Favour to reward some great service done him Some get Cognizances and Rewards of Honour from their Prince not by way of impaling or quartering but in a Canton thus the Earl of Annandale got from King Iames the sixth in a Canton arg a Thistle vert crown'd Or and the Earl of Elgin got in a Canton a Lyon rampant Gules arm'd azur Sometimes also a Shield over all is given as a reward of Honour thus the Earl of Stirling did bear two Coats quarterly and over all an Inescutcheon of Nova Scotia because he was the first Planter of it When any Nobleman at his creation takes or gets a new additional Symbole as Earl as Montrose carries the Roses not as Grahame but as Earl I think that these Coats or Symbols should not be transmitted to their Cadets but are incommunicable as the Honours are to signifie which they were granted And such as are descended from the Dukes of Lennox may as well take the Symbole which he bears as Admiral as such as are descended from the Earl of Montrose may take these Roses which he bears as Earl And yet custome has prevailed against this Rule Follows the Blazon of the Coats in the Plate of the quarterings I.

Two Coats quarterly first Gules an Imperial Crown within a double tressure counterflowred Or as a Coat of augmentation for his good service against the Earl of Gowrie second argent a pale sable by the name of Areskine third as the second the fourth as the first XI Two Coats quarterly first Or a Lyon rampant Gules by the name of Weem or Mcduff second argent a Lyon rampant sable by the name of Glen third as the second fourth as the first XII Two Coats quarterly first and fourth argent a Lyon rampant azur armed and langued Gules as the old Arms of the Bruces when they were Earls of Carrick second and third Or a saltire and chief Gules by the name of Bruce The reason why Bishops and other Officers have their own Coats impal'd with those of their Office is because they are in Law in place of Husbands to their Office and therefore the Canon Law calls a Bishop or other beneficâ—d person maritus Ecclesiae But if so It may be askt why the Bishops proper Coat is not impal'd on the right syde as the Husbands is when his wifes Coat is impal'd with his own to which the proper answer is that the Churches Arms take place as the more nobleâ— and the Bishop is Husband by a figurative speech only The Guarter of England who is the principle King at Arms bears the Arms pertaining to the Office which is argent a crosse Gules on a chief azur a crown environ'd with a Guarter buckled and now'd betwixt a Lyon passant gardant and a flowr de lis impal'd with his own Coat Sir Charles Areskin Lyon King of Arms gives the Coat of the Office being argent a Lyon sejant full-faced Gules holding in his dexter paw a thistle slipped vert and in the sinister an Escutcheon of the second on a chief azur a St Andrews crosse as the first likewise impaled with that belonging to himself as the second brother of the Earl of Kellie But sometimes the Office has no known Shield but ane other Symbol which is plac'd without the Shield thus the Admiral carries an Anchor the Chancellor a Purse the Theasaurer a Whyt rod the Lord Chamberlain a Key The Constable two Swords and the Marshal Battons CHAP.
