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.
