Likewise thou shalt embroider the fine linnen Coat and thou shalt make the Mitre of fine linnen and thou shalt make the Girdle of needle work And for Aaron 's sons thou shalt make Coats and thou shalt make for them Girdles and Bonnets shalt thou make for them for glory and for beauty Rich Garments and costly Jewels are reckoned Ornaments as appeareth 2 Sam. 1. 24. Ye daughters of Israel weep over Saul who clothed you in scarlet with other delights who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel And they be called Ornaments because they do illustrate and adorn or beautifie the person that is garnished with them To this Head may be reduced all sorts of things whatsoever pertaining to the adorning decking or triming of the body as Combs Glasses Head-brushes Curling-bodkins c. and also Purses Knives c.

Ancestor to Sir Thomas Roe Kt. living 1632. whose worthy merit in the discharge of many Embassages wherein he hath been imployed by this State deserves to be remembred with an honourable Character In respect we are now come to speak of Stamps and Coins I hold it not impertinent by the way to give some little touch of the Royalty of Coining It is therefore to be observed that the power to coin money hath been evermore reckoned to be one of the Prerogatives that in our common Law we do call Iura Regalia and pertaineth to the Sovereign Power amongst many Regal Immunities to that Supream Jurisdiction peculiarly belonging and to none others Nevertheless we read that Monarchical Kings and Sovereign States have imparted this Prerogative or Preheminence unto others their inferiours upon special acceptable service done or for whatsoever private respect as we may see Maccab. 15. 6. where amongst many other preheminences granted by Antiochus the son of Demetrius to Simon the high Priest which had been formerly granted to him by the Predecessors of Antiochus he enableth him to coin money saying I give thee leave to coin money of thine own stamp within thy Countrey To this Head must be reduced all other sorts of Bullion or Coin and whatever else pertaineth to traffick or commerce By this open Purse we may understand a man of a charitable disposition and a frank and liberal steward of the blessings which God hath bestowed upon him for the relief of the needy● Of such an one St. Hierome hath this saying Non memini me legisse mala morte mortuum qui libenter opera charitatis exercuit habet enim multos intercessores impossibile est multorum preces non exaudiri Though the shoe be an habit serving for the foot which is the most inferiour part of mans body yet it is not therefore to be contemned forasmuch as it is a note of progression and very behoveful for travellers In the Scriptures it is often taken for expedition as Psal. 60.

But in after Ages it seemeth the Jews passed Inheritances by Charters sealed and testified by witnesses a custome of use with us at this day at the Common Law as appeareth in the Prophesie of Ieremiah Men shall buy fields for money and make writings and seal them and take witnesses in the Land of Benjamin and round about Jerusalem c. 32. 44. And again Ier. 32. 25 And thon hast said unto me O Lord God buy unto thee a field for silver and take witnesses And I bought the field of Hananeel my Uncles son that was in Anathoth and weighed him the money even seventeen shekels of silver And I subscribed the Evidence and sealed it and took witnesses and weighed him the money in the balances c. Now since I am casually fallen upon this Argument of sealing of Deeds I hold it not amiss to give some little touch by the way of the first coming in of this custome of sealing in this our Nation which is now of so frequent use amongst us First it is to be observed that our Ancestors the Saxons had not the same in use for they used only to subscribe their Names commonly adding the sign of the Cross.

Accidents should have such power in them For Aristotle Physicorum 1. saith Accidentia possunt miraculose non alias mutare subjectum Accidents change not their Subject but by Miracle Addition doubtless and Subtraction are of greater force than Transmutation or Location yet is there no such power in them as that they can alter the essence of any thing Quia augmentum vel diminutio saith Chassanaeus circa accidentia contractuum non reponunt contractum in diverso esse neque per ea intelligitur ab eo in substantialibus recessus the adding or diminishing of Accidents makes not the thing lose the nature of his being This Coat with the Arms of Vlster is born by Sir Iohn Molineux of Teversal in Nottinghamshire Baronet● and with the Arms of Vlster with a due difference is born by Darcy Molineux of Mansfield in the said County Esq Nephew to the said Sir Iohn Leigh in Blazoning of this form of Cross maketh no mention at all of the piercing thereof perhaps because it resembleth the Ink of a Mill which is evermore pierced This is termed Quarter pierced quasi Quadrate pierced for that the piercing is square as a Trencher The Augmentation born on the Bend was granted unto the Right Noble Thomas Duke of Norfolk and to his Descendants by King Henry the Eighth for his signal Service as General of the Army which gave that remarkable overthrow at Floding to King Iames the Fourth of Scotland which said Duke was by King Henry the Seventh created Knight of the Garter and made Lord High Treasurer of England So much of the Cross with the Accidents thereof Now of that other Ordinary that is framed also of a fourfold Line that is to say a Saltire A Saltire is an Ordinary consisting of a fourfold Line whereof two are drawn from the Dexter chief towards the Sinister base corners and the other from the Sinister chief towards the Dexter base points and do meet about the midst by couples in acute Angles I know the Learned Geometer will find many more Lines here than I do mention but as I said of Lines in the Cross this our description greeth best with Heralds and our purpose Azure a Saltier Argent is the Coat-Armour of Sir William York of Burton-Pedwardin in Lincolnshire Knight Sable a Saltier Argent is born by the name of Ducket of Steeple-Morden in Cambridgeshire In old time saith Leigh this was made of the height of a man and was driven full of Pins the use whereof was to scale the Walls therewith to which end the Pins served commodiously In those days saith he the Walls of a Town were but low as appeareth by the Walls of Rome which Rhemus easily leaped over and the Walls of Winchester which were overlooked by Colebrand the Chieftain of the Danes who was slain by Guy Earl of Warwick who was Champion for King Athelstane Argent a Saltier engrailed Sable by the Name of Middleton This with the Arms of Vlster is the Coat-Armour of Sir George Middleton of Leighton near Warton in Lancashire Baronet CHAP. VIII HAving hitherto shewed at large the several forms of making of such Charges as we call honourable Ordinaries Order requireth that I should now shew their diverse manner of Bearing according to our prefixed Distribution These are born Simple Compound Those are said to be born Simple when only Ordinaries do appear in the Field These Ordinaries comprehend One sort Divers sorts Ordinaries are said to be of one sort when only one kind of them is born in the Field without mixture of any other Whose bearing is Single Manifold By single Bearing I understand some one Ordinary born alone in the Escocheon such are these precedent Examples before handled By manifold bearing of Ordinaries I mean the bearing of divers Ordinaries of the same kind whether the same be born of themselves alone or else conjunctly with some of their Subdivisions Which form of bearing is twofold viz.
