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
