should wear some such coat of mark over his Armor as whereby they might be easily discerned to be the same persons which indeed they were and where somtimes when occasion so offered itself they were forced to use Pavishes for their defence whereby a great part of the mark which was upon their vesture was shadowed from sight it was thought necessary that their marks should be also laid upon their shields the commanders of Horse-men their faces being for the most part covered they added to the crests of their Helmets some further distinction to be the better also known by Thus much for the ordinance and use of Armory And hereby also may it appear to whom they do properly belong and appertain namely to Kings Princes Archbishops Bishops Earls Barons Lords of provinces and fees Knights officers in the Army Navy or peece and generally to all that have charge over Bands and companies of souldiers And now sithence from henceforth many of my speeches will tend to the discovery of such things as I take to be abused erronious or faulty wherein I may peradventure not square in opinion with some others and being myself no officer or of any authority whereby I should have cause to deal in these affairs I will therefore first beseech your Honours and all others to whom it may appertain that if any thing shall pass my pen which shall be offensive that they will conceive no worse of it then I mean which is but to bring these matters of Armory into question to the end that if any thing be amiss as I for my part think that many things are that then the same may be reformed but if happily I mistake that then it would please such as be of judgment or skill to justifie the same as well done and I shall most willingly yield to authority and reasons And so not speaking but under correction I say that first I find as I conceive some blame to be imputed in your selves which be professed souldiers that where your ancestors and all others generally did in their Standards Banners and Pennons shew forth to the view and face of the enemy certain fair antient and known marks which their elders for the most part had usually before time carried or at least themselves had then taken if they but then were in their rising age whereby their own people were in a goodly decent order conducted and led and their enemies very much terrified when they should see those marks shewed forth the owners whereof had in their memories by plain feat of Arms overthrown their parents or happely themselves beaten them out of the field razed down their castels and fortresses sacked their towns and cities wasted and spoiled their countries ransomed their people and generally so daunted and amazed them that it was sometimes found to be true that very bare names of some valiant persons overcame whole Armies I can but blame you of all sorts which shall make choice of Banners which you call colors so curtein-like and so far from all due order of Ancient bearing as may be and for your parts which are descended from Ancestors of mark I would be glad to hear any reason from you to what end you should lay the same aside and make choice of a curtein in the place thereof And you others whose wisdom and valure have gained you the reputation of a charge I would gladly also hear from you what should move you to be of that mind as not to take some convenient mark such a one as may be thought meet by authority for you whereby you may gain an honour both to your selves and your posterity and by your good usage thereof much enlarge the reputation you have by your valours obtained An other thing that is amiss as I take it and hath great need to be reformed is the quartering of many Marks in one shield coat or Banner for sithence it is true that such Marks serve to no other use but for a commander to lead by or to be known by it is of necessity that the same be apparent fair and easie to be discerned so that the quartering of many of them together doth hinder the use for which they are provided As how is it possible for a plain unlearned man who may be as good a souldier in some respects as the best to discern and know a sunder six or eight what speak I of six or eight sometimes thirty or forty several marks clustered all together in one shield or Banner nay though he had as good skill as Robert Glover late Somerset that dead is and the eyes of an Eagle amongst such a confusion oâ— things yet should he never be able to decipher the errors that are daily committed in this one point nor discern or know one Banner or Standard from another be the same never so large So that except it be to be made in a pedigree or descent to lock up in an evidence chest thereby to shew mens titles to their lands or the Alliences and kindreds of their houses otherwise as I say I see not to any use in the world they serve specially so many together to be made upon a mans vesture Target or Banner and therefore I could wish that every man would content himself with his own peculiar coat of name and not to use above one quartered therewith at the most which one yet doth not so much trouble the capacity of a man but that he may both know and discern a Banner or shield well enough And this one do I the rather esteem well of to be born for that a Prince or Noble man making challenge or title to any Country for which he is forced to make wars before he can obtain it it will be a goodly thing for him to shew forth his Standard of the Arms of that Country quartered with his own amongst those people which in reason and conscience owe him duty and obedience to the end that they may thereby be the sooner induced to submit themselves to their true and lawful Soverain as his subjects And for that cause as I take it King Edward the third and his valiant sons devised and shewed forth the Arms of France and England quartered together and although my Authour saith that Jaques Dartvell was the first deviser thereof yet will I not believe otherwise but that the principal reasons that led the King thereto was to make known the justness of his title to that kingdom where he then intended to make wars But now it may be objected sithence a Prince or great Lord may have title to several Countries that therefore it is necessary for him to beare all such tokens or marks as he hath title too To this I answer that although I could yeild to them but that it will bring the eonfusion aforesaid yet is it of no such necessity for that a man needs to shew his title but onely to them whom he means to subdue and if it should
fortune that he had title to divers and several countries and that he would make wars to them all at once yet should it not be needful to him to shew forth any more marks quartered in one Standard but onely unto every several Country the Arms of that nation quartered with his own But this being the case of Kings and Princes wherein amongst others our most famous noble and worthy Kings and princes of this land have shewed themselves most prudent and wise to what purpose is it that others bring out commanders under their prince and which of themselves have neither title to country nor are able to maintain wars should in their princes service pester their Banners and shields with such an infinite number as many do And in this point I cannot enough commend the Baron of Stafford who herein sheweth his great skill and temperance for although his Ancestors have had title to quarter the marks of that valiant Thomas of Woodstock youngest son of King Edward the third Earl of Buckingham and Duke of Glocester of Bohune Earl of Hereford and Northamton and high Cunstable of England and also of that great house of Somerset which by their ancestors John Earl of Somerset younger son to John of Gaunt descended from the same king Edward the third I omit to speak of divers Barons and others of great estate whose heires both with revenue and honor enlarged greatly his family yet the said Baron contents himself with the paternal mark of his house It were to be wished that this matter of Quartering should be reformed as well for untruths therein oftentimes committed as for the titles that may be brought in question thereby to lands and Heritages And as being one of the chiefest things that bringeth honour of Armory into disgrace for not long ago heard I one speak in this manner Did I not quoth he know the grandfather of this man speaking of the owner of a Scuchion wherein were quartered many marks to purchase by plain patent although he never were man at Armes both his coat and crest within these forty years and how comes it now to pass that I see his nephew invested in all this Armory numbring many and divers several devices all in one shield by way of quartering this being a very mockery to see a man of no valour or estimation in warlike affairs and the paternal Ancestors of whom for ought that can be proved were not in any late age welders of Arms to entrude themselves into so many Badges of Armory is not the least matter to bring into contempt an order so honourable and necessary as the bearing of Arms is Differences in Arms to younger children and their Descendents Another matter that to my understanding is also to be reformed is the manner of differings which are by the younger Brothers and their posterities laid upon their marks being cressants mollets c. and that such little ones as that a man cannot discern them a very small distance from him which differences are in reason to be made fair plain and large that they may be also as easie to be discover'd as any other Devise that is in the Coat Shield or Banner otherwise they serve not to the purpose for which marks were first ordained And the inconvenience which ensueth of this error will the more easily appear if I but set you down the words of mine Author treating of an accident that happened in such a case which be these Et feist Mr. Robert Baileul alter sa Banniere tout devant en escriant Moriannes les Henuiers qui ia estoint esthauses Aperceurent la Banniere de Moriannes qui encore estoit tout Droicte si cuiderent que ce feust la leur ou ilz se deuoient radresser car mult petitey auoit de difference de lune a l'autre car les Armes Moriennes sount Barres contre Barres d' Argent d' Azure a deux Cheverons de Gueules Et le cheveron de Mr. Robert auoit vne petite crosete d'or si ne l'adviserent mye bien les Hennuiers ainsi vindrent bouter de fait dessubs la Banniere de Mr. Robert si furent moult fierement reboutes et tous discomfis For these Honours being led by Sir William Baileul thought in the stir and business to have come to his Banner hearing the surname of Moriens called upon and seeing as they supposed their captains ensigne and the difference of Sir Robert being the younger Brother but a little cross upon the upper cheuron they could not appercieve so that the most of them were either slain or taken and the elder Brother the Knight their leader was glad to save himself as well as he might The Lord of Cowcie son in law to King Edward the third suffered also reproch through the hard dealings of the Lord of Chine who raised his Banner against certain Englishmen of Sir Hugh Caveleys company being either the same that Cowcies was or the difference so small as might not be discerned whereby the said Lord Cowcy though he were absâ—nt as far as Austrich had dishonour spoken of him as in the discourse of the Capital I have touched Thus then having shewed by example the harm and inconvenience that cannot but many times happen through the littleness and niceness of such differences I have thought it not amiss to lay before you the differings that antiquity used that by comparing them together you may discern the great wisdom of our ancestors and our own imperfections in this point for want of due consideration which was done at the first by changing of the device born into other colors only but when that would not suffice for the number of leaders many times all of one house then were they forced to vary their marks by adding of either Bars Bends cheurons cheefes quarters Borders labels losinges or such like and very seldome should you see in those times cressant mollet or such like small thing born for a difference and if any did yet was the same so large and fair that it might be seen as well as any other device which should be in the Shield or Banner And for the proof I will give you the example but of one house onely for your better information though I could do the like of many others namely that of the Bassets who indeed in my judgment varied their marks of honour very finely and that upon good respect A multitude more as my authour hath already hinted were it not for brevityes sake might be instanced from the practise of sundry branches of Noble-families whereof I shall only make mention of some few which are not unknown to most pretenders to Herauldry Such are those of Grey of Codnore and Grey of Sâ—ndiacre in Derbyshire Grey of Barton in Ridale in com Ebor. Grey of Wilton in com Hereford Grey of Ruthyn in com Denbigh Grey of Groby in com Leic. and Grey Vicount L'isle Of Beauchamp Earl of Warwick Beauchamp of Holt Beauchamp of

Berkly of Beverston in the same County Berkley of Bruton in com Somerset and Berkley of Wymundham in com Leic. Of Cobham Lord Cobham of Cobham in Kent Cobham of Sterborough in Surrey Cobham of Black-burgh in com Devon and Cobham of Belmerle in com Cantii Of Radcliffe Earl of Sussex Radcliffe of Smethels Radcliffe of Drdsale and Radcliffe of Chaderton All retaining the original Armes but distinguisht by various eminent differences Likewise of Noell Vicount Campden Noell of Kirkby in Leicestershire Noell of Hilcote and Noell of Pelshall both in Stafforshire and others of that Antient family Thus have I set down unto you though something tediously the use that antiquity followed in a very glorious line for Lords Knights and Gentlemen which flourished divers hundreds of years sithence And you may see that these men though they were many of them great Barons were not ashamed of their Differences but laid them forth largely to the view neither do I esteem it a shame whereby any man should covet to hide the same to be descended as a younger Brother sithence that every Brother having the like parents is as well descended as the eldest and therefore as good a Gentleman though not so rich as he And the more is his honour if without the help which by reason of his patrimony the elder hath he can advance himself into place of office or dignity whereby he may raise an other flourishing family of the same surname and therefere you my masters that be younger Brothers never hide your Differences by putting forth a little cressant or a peeping mollet but use some fair large device sithence in truth your estimation is by your rising to be had in as good a regard as if you were the elder And now being in speech of younger Brothers and their differences I have observed two kinds of them which antiquity used besides the aforesaid one was that such as were advanced by Kings Princes or other great Lords did many times bear some part of the device of him who advanced them by way of addition unto the mark of their own family which served very aptly to distinguish them from their elder house The other was that divers did add unto the mark of their own house some part of the device of that family from which their mothers descended and both these two kinds of differings are in my mind greatly to be commended not only for that they may be made large and apparent and for that cause serve very properly to the use for which Badges are ordained but also that the one makes manifest a greatful mind in him that is advanced to his prince or lord of whom he received benefit and by reason thereof linketh them together in a kind of amity which seldom or never is worn out and by that means a great strengthening it is unto both Houses The other not only serveth to unite the families which have matched together in the foresaid love and amity and thereby worketh the like effect but besides it sheweth the certainty of the descending of the said younger Brother out of both the said Houses and also giveth knowledg of the time thereof whereby if any title of inheritance be at any time cast upon the younger Brother either descending from ancestor of the fathers side or mothers it gives him a testimony of his title and witnesseth unto the world the truth of that descent by the continual bearing of that device so that this kind may many times work profit to the bearer and avoid many troubles and suits and therefore into one of these kind of differingâ— could I wish our younger Brothers which from henceforth shall be advanc'd to invest themselves as being both honourable fair certain and profitable But now it may be objected that the order in use sheweth plainly enough the diversity of Brothers as the cressant a second the mollet the third that by this means the matters are made certain To this I answer that first the time is not by this means signified neither can it be known which of the Cressant-bearers was the Uncle or Nephew And further it is a very usual matter for every new Riser at this day if he can find that there is any of the like Surname that beareth mark presently to usurp the same with a Cressant or some such difference so that for my own part I do seldom credit such kind of differings nor their bearers unless it be by some other testimony or proof made manifest which cannot be counterfetted so well in the other device except the riser should be throughly acquainted with the descent of him whose line he seeketh to intrude himself into And besides it may be the sooner espied by them of the true line and forbidden nor the other dare for fear thereof so soon venture the committing of a falsity But what a confusion is it when you shall see the second of a second Brother and sometimes an other second from him to cluster one Cressant upon an other many times three or four one on horseback upon an other where as by the aforesaid bearing of the difference from the Prince Lord or mothers family a man may better distinguish the Brothers and set down for a second a third and fourth c. And after from those again in a fairer larger and more apparent manner and the more apt am I to speak against these ordinary Differences as they are called knowing them to be but new inventions and any of them as ordinaries in Fashion as now they are never used before the time of King Henry the sixt before which time men were much more wary and discreet in bearing of their marks and in foreseeing that no intruders should enter into their families nor that any should lay away or remove their Differings without special warrant or license of them that thereby might be prejudiced for a Labell being much in use for the heire apparent to wear as his differeuce during his fathers life was seldom removed to the second Brother but when the inheritance went unto the daughters of the elder Brother and then the second was permitted to bear the same for his Difference as being the heire male of his family and as one that remained in expectancy yet might not the second Brother use to intrude himself into the absolute signs of his house the inheritance being in his neeces or kinswomen as appeared in the case between Gray of Ruthine and Hastings which was this John Lord Hastings married to his first wife Izabell one of the sisters and heires of Almery
his humanity is also by the writing of his holy Evangelists most plainly and sincerely remembred and set down All these things being therefore by the Scriptures of God the decider of all controversiies proved and declared Your Lordships may see that the bearing of Arms raising and advancing of Standards Banners and Ensigns using of Obsequies erecting of Monuments Enroling and regestring of Pedegrees and Descents have joyned to the antient customs and laws both of this Land and all other nations the authority of Gods word being very well accompanied with discretion reason and judgment for God having by his sacred institution ordained Kingdoms Provinces and Seignories and that over them Kings Princes and Magistrates shall command rule and govern his people to the end chiefly that his heavenly Kingdom may be replenished with the blessed souls of his servants for the instructing whereof he hath also ordained his holy Church and the Bishops pastors and ministers of the same which Bishops and other spiritual officers cannot so well enform his Christian people without the aid of the said Kings and temporal Lords neither can they govern their particular Countries either from the invasion of outward tyrants or inward Rebels but through the use of their sword of justice which sword cannot be exercised against unruly persons being of strength wanting men skilful in martial Discipline who cannot manage those affairs but by mean of the aforesaid Arms and Ensigns in manner as before I have more largely expressed And in like sort as Princes great Lords Judges Magistrates and Governours do use to wear sacred Robes of gold purple scarler and other ornaments and apparel not to take pride in or for any vain ostentation or show but only that they may be distinguished from the inferior people to the end that a reverent regard may be had of them in respect of the high office which under God here on earth they bear And as these things no man of any reason will gainsay so I see not but as-well may their just vertues and good government be remembred with Funerals Obsequies and Monuments after their decease whereby such as succeed in government may also be had in more high estimation and a fair example is thereby given them to imitate the regiment of their predecessors Likewise doth the Registring of descents carry with it reason joined to authority and custom for as by Gods law there is commanded a priviledge of enheritance to the first begotten of Israel and so for want of sons to the females and from them to others answerable to the proximity of their blood and kindred which with the laws of this land and of most nations do concur and agree it doth well stand with peaceful government for the avoiding of contentions which may rise for want of records to testify the truth of mens titles to their enheritances that Genealogies and Pedegrees should be enrolled and kept in remembrance I have my good Lords stood the longer upon this point for that of late travelling through some countries of this Land and having a desire to see the Moniments of antiquity which have remained in such places as I passed by for which cause as otherwise I many times resorted to Churches and other houses to satisfy my affection I found that many Moniments both of Burials and in glass were so broken and defaced that vneth may be had any knowledge what the fragments remaining did signify and enquiring of the inhabitants how it came to pass that those things were so blemished they made report that certain persons delighting as may seem in novelty for they can abide no mark of Antiquity had defaced the same These men that take upon them to be reformers whose desires are great through the singularity and pride they have in their own wits and understandings weening themselves to be very wise where indeed they are very simple and only look but into the abuses of things and do not see into the grounds and depth of the reasons and causes for which good ordinances were made go about to find faults where many times none are but if peradventure they hap to find an ordinance well made misused then streight never seek they to reform the abuse but by their wills down goeth ordinance and all such is their insolency rashness and want of judgment It were well done therefore my good Lords and I could wish that your Honours having sometimes access to her Majesty and oftentimes conference with my Lords of her privy Councel should enform her Highness and their Honours of the said abuses committed and to be thereby a mean that these simple fellows taking upon them to be reformers might be reformed themselves and both kept from destroying of good ordinances and be punished for their offences in that behalf committed In the mean time yet shall I desire that Honourable personages will look better to the Moniments of their ancestors by correcting the destroyers thereof and therein to imitate the laudable actions of William Fleetwood Serjeant at the Law and Recorder of the City of London who being commissioner amongst others for the visitation of causes Ecclesiastical by the Princes authority by vertue thereof imprisoned certain wilful persons that had defaced the Moniment of Queen Katherine Dowyger at Preterborough until such time as they had reformed the same which thing was through his good endeavour reedified and perfected again and so remaineth to this day for although some hapily see standing those of their own parents yet it were good they should sorsee that no others be pulled down for that there is not to be looked for but that suffering such injuries to rest unpunished the doers thereof will in time grow more insolent and have a cast to overthrow theirs also And now being in speech of Monuments I cannot but remember their ignorance who make small account of any ancestor except before the Conquest weening that all that lie cross-legged so were and that all antient evidence without date is the like whereas the one was not had in use until after the Palestine wars and the other such as be sealed be also since the Conquest for I could never see nor hear of any that had seen sealed deed but the same was made sithence the Conquest of this Land when the use as I take it of sealing with wax first began in England But these men will not stoop one jot under the Conquest telling many fables of their ancestors then preserving their Houses Honours and Armories forgetting quite that it is much more glorious and honourable to be descended from a most famous nation conquering then such people by

A CATALOGUE OF THE BARONETS OF THIS KINGDOM OF England From the first Erection of that Dignity until the 4th of July 1681 inclusive AN Advertisement TO THE READER WHen the Copie from which this subsequent Catalogue of the English Nobility is printed was sent to the Press the name and Title of Francis Lord Howard of Effingham was omitted tho in the second Volume of the Baronage of England published in anno 1676 upon the best information I could then obtain I had there taken notice of that person as heir expectant to the said Honour after the death of Charles Earl of Nottingham who was then very aged and issuless doubting to fix him therein before he had regularly made his claim thereto might give offence to the rest of the Nobility but upon view of my Copie by some intelligent persons who nevertheless thought it proper to be inserted I submitted thereto whereat if any take offence I humbly crave pardon it being my clear opinion that such of a collateral line as have right by descent to any Title of Honour accruing to them by virtue of an entail thereof made long since they should openly exhibite their claim unto the King with due proof of their right thereto as hath heretofore in like cases been done and thereupon with his Majesties allowance thereof have the same by the direction of the Earl Marshal orderly registred Whereas in the Catalogue of the Vicounts I have inserted Leicester Devereux Vicount Hereford now in minoritie I'have hereby thought fitt to advertise the Reader that upon certain exceptions taken in Parliament in anno 1677 to his right for that Title by reason of the attainder of Robert Earl of Essex and Vicount Hereford in 43 Eliz. and restoration of that Honour being only limitted to Robert his Son and the two Sisters of the said Robert the decision â—hereof was then by order of the House of Lords reâ—â—ited till the said Leicester Devereux shall come of full Age. It is likewise to be noted whereas in this ensuing Catalogue Pag. 71. Charles Wilmot Earl of Rochester is inserted that since the printing thereof he dyed whereby that Title of Honour is totally extinct and therefore that the number of Earls mentioned in pag. 69. lin penult is to be no more then 68. And that James Compton Earl of Northampton mentioned p. 70. is since dead but succeeded by George his Son who is under Age. I have likewise thought fit farther to advertise the Reader that the Book-Seller being desirous to publish Catalogues of the Scottish and Irish Nobility such hath been the unexspected delay in obtaining perfect Copies from Scotland and Ireland that the publication of my papers which have been printed more then four months since hath by reason thereof been so long retarded that it hath necessitated some alterations and emendations now added Also that as to the following Catalogue of the Scottish Nobility Sir George Mackenzie the worthy Lord Advocat of Scotland in his letter to me bearing the 30th of December 1681 doth signify that he did review it and gave his assistance for the better compleating thereof and doth certify that it is very perfect and exact But the said Sir George Mackenzie in a learned Treatise of
Precedency publish'd at Edinburgh 1680 together with another of Heraldry both written by himself being a person eminently renow'd for his several other excellent works having at large discoursed of the Precedency due to the Arch-Bishops of Scotland to the end that no injury be done to them by concealing their just right therein I shall here transcribe what he saith as to that point I find by a letter in An. 1625 that before King James his going into England the Marquesses of Scotland did take place from the Arch-bishops And by a letter in An. 1626 renew'd in An. 1664. The Arch-bishop of St. Andrews is to take place before all subjects Yet I think this will not give him place from the Kings Sons Uncles and Nephews though they be likewise subjects since the word subjects must be here interpreted according to the custom of Nations by which these neare relations of Princes are preferred to all other subjects Yet defacto since the letter the Arch-bishops of St. Andrews ceds to the Lord Chancellor These Advertisements to the Reader are to be prefixt before pag. 67. THE Preface WHereas in the year 1667 a Catalogue of the Baronets of England was by authority published to the end that such as had obtained Patents for that Honour which were not enrolled should by discerning an omission of their names therein take care to supply that defect so that upon a second Impression thereof they might be inserted Now whereas after twelve years and more no Enrollments are yet to be found for sundry persons which have assumed this Title which causeth some to doubt whether they can make any justifiable claime thereto Whereas therefore no person whatsoever ought to take upon them this Title of dignity but such as have been really advanced thereto by Letters Patents under the great Seale of England it is thought fit by the right Honorable Robert Earl of Aylesbury who now exerciseth the Office of Earl Marshall of England that this present Catalogue of such touching whom the Docquet-books remaining with the-Clerk of the Crown in Chancery do take notice shall be published to the end that those of whom no memorial upon Record is to be found to justifie their right to this Title may be known and care henceforth taken in Commissions of the peace and otherwise that it be not given unto them until they shall manifest the same unto the Lord Chancellor of England and have speciall order from his Lordship to enroll such Patents whereby they pretend Title to that dignity As also that regard be had of giving credit to any other Catalogues of the Baronets which are already publisht or that shall be publisht than what is taken from the authority of those Docquet-books above mentioned or the Enrollment of their Patents BARONETS Created by King James Anno Dom. 1611.
