To the right Honourable ROBERT Earl of AYLESBURY Deputy with his Majesties approbation to the most Noble HENRY Duke of NORFOLK Earl-Marshal of ENGLAND My Lord SUch have been the extravagant Actings of Paynters and other Mechanicks in this licentious Age that to satisfie those who are open handed to them they have not stuck to depict Arms only for divers younger branches of Families with undue distinctions if any at all but to allow them to such as do bear the same appellation though of no alliance to that stock the permission whereof hath given such encouragement to those who are guilty of this boldness that there are not a few who do already begin to prescribe as of right thereto so that these Marks of Honour called Arms are now by most people grown of little esteem for apparent it is that they make the Crescent which is the known filial distinction for the second Son to be also the only proper difference of the Grandson and heir of that second Son and of his heires male and a Mullet upon a Crescent and a Martlet upon the same Mullet to be the distinction for a fourth Son of a third Brother whose Father was the second Son of the chief stock and according to that rule do for the most part frame their Differences for others Against this absurd usage therefore I have thought it requisite not only to offer to your Lordship the light of reason which ought to be the principal guide but the irrfragable Authoritie of several persons of great Learning and high estimation for their knowledge in points of Honour and Arms and likewise to give instance by sundry important presidents as to the usage of ancient times when order and regularity were held in repute not doubting but that your Lordship will in this point be so far satisfyed as that for the future some restraint may be put to those undue practises Resting Your Lordships most obedient Servant WILLIAM DUGDALE Garter principal King of Arms. 10.

de Vallence Earl of Penbrooke by whom he had issue John Hastings after Earl of Penbrooke Elizabeth married to Roger Lord Gray of Ruthin and some other children which needs not to be spoken of for that as I take it all the lines of them fail'd before the extinguishing of the line of the said John Earl of Penbrooke After such issue being had the said Izabel Vallence died and the said John Lord Hastings took to a second wife Izabel the Daughter of Hugh Spenser by whom he had issue Hugh Hastings and Thomas and then died and left as heir John his son by his first Wife who was Earl of Penbrooke as I have said erected by reason of his mothers inheritance which John Earl of Penbrooke married and had issue another Earl of Penbrooke who also married and had issue a third Earl of Penbrooke but in the end all the line of the said John Hastings first Earl of Penbrooke of that family failing there arose a question betwixt the Heirs of Roger Gray and Elizabeth his wife being sister of the whole blood and the Heirs of Hugh Hastings brother of the half blood to the said John Earl of Penbrooke for the inheritance of the Hastings But Gray recovering the same by the law that saith Possessio fratris de feodo simplici facit sororem esse haeredem called the said Hastings also having removed the difference of his mark for that he was then heir male of that house into the Court of chevalry and there having a judgement against him the said Hastings was compelled to use a Difference which was a Label of silver upon his mark a fair red sleeve of his Ladies upon his golden vesture since which the heirs of that younger family have used the said Labell even until this our age So that you may see by this that the law was then taken to be such that such an heir male as had not the inheritance of his Ancestors should not be suffered to bear his mark without distinction for it should seem by this that the issue of them that had married the heir general of any family being by reason thereof possessed of the lands had not only an interest in the Arms but might also forbid any man the bearing thereof There is also another matter out of square which is that every man that obtaineth large possessions whether the same be acquired by his judgment in law traffick in merchandize or any other mean yea although never any of his progenitors from whom he can derive himself had the charge to lead men of Arms will yet at this day intrude themselves into the Badges and marks of souldiers for although such as be descended from men of martial discipline have an interest in their ancestors marks amongst other their goods and therefore may shew forth the same to their predecessors glory and their own in respect of their descent yet such men as rise by their sciences judgments or skill in other arts affairs or trades although they be to be reverenced for their wisdom and praiseful actions and had in honour answerable to their vertues and dignities have yet little to do with the marks or Badges of soldiers For altho a reverend Judg that hath ministred law and justice a long time and that so long as that thereby to his great glory he hath obtained reputation wealth and revenue is to be had in high estimation and in respect thereof to have allow'd him some note or mark of Honour fit for his calling yot to my simple judgment the same should be disposed unto him after the old Roman order by signifying the manner of his rising rather then to put a corselet on his back a Burgonet on his head a Target on his Arm and a Sword by his side being things that would cumber greatly the good old man to use either for his own defence or but to shew by way of triumph for his glory sithence neither is it tolerable by reason of his age nor in his youth did he exercise himself in welding thereof And as these things are unseeming for him to wear no more can I see any reason why he should deck up the moniments of his house with such signs or tokens except he can derive himself from an ancestor that hath had the use of such things and then to set them sorth as a glory to his deceased parent will greatly augment the regard of his rising which rising yet of it self is a sufficient Honour the same being by any just vertuous or laudable means And these new risings I could wish to be of more reputation then they seem to be esteem'd of either by others or themselves that so rise as is apparent by many of their doings who intrude themselves into marks of Antiquity and setting forth of descents wherein they are yet fain many times either to counterfet or else to derive themselves from some poor parents which they either truly or by surmize alledge to have descended from some antient family and that have been by some accident or other in former time decayed wherein me thinks men do greatly mistake the matter for that in my opinion a man that is but of mean parentage and riseth by commendable means is equivalent to him that riseth from a decayed family namely when his said parent hath been overthrown for offence as many times they alleadge in plain terms And I could wish that every man that raiseth a House by his good industry should be honoured with some such Badge or Mark as should be answerable to the quality of his rising and not every man of what condition soever they be to entrude themselves into the signs and marks of souldiers and such as follow the field with martial exploits Some people also there are that be so precise as that they do disallow altogether the setting forth of any memory of well deserving men which have shewed themselves valiant either in the act of Religion their Princes service or defence of their Country neither allowing their posterity to set forth any memory of their praises nor suffering any monuments or garnishments to remain of their Burials as tho it were a matter offensive to God to have good men well spoken of or their valorous doings by their obsequies either reverenc'd or by any records remembred To such men I have not thought it amiss to shew them their error by directing them to such places of Scripture as do not only tolerate and allow of such actions but also praise and commend the doing thereof and in some sort charge and command the same to be done whereby both they may if they be not obstinate reform their misconceived opinions and others may be fortifyed in their praiseful endeavours towards the honouring of vertuous and worthy men to the animating of posterity to imitate their laudable actions sithence indeed the chiefest matter that stirreth up men to do well next their zeal to God and the love of vertue it self is
