charge borne by a Family in this Kingdome Bara in his Book intituled Les Blazones dez Armories giveth an example of two Lizards erected one against another as if they were Combatand and termeth them Rampand a terme very unfitly applyed to Reptiles to whom the terms of mounting leaping or skipping are much more proper To this head must be reduced Crocodyles Salamanders Camelions Ewtes Lizards and whatsoever other Egge-bearing Reptile having onely four feet as to their naturall and proper place There resteth yet one other sort of this kind of Reptiles which are diversly shaped from all the former and are called in Latine Insecta Animalia because that being divided in their body between their head and belly their parts do seem so divided as if they hanged onely together by small strings having no flesh blood sinewes c. And there are also insecta which flye Insects that live upon the earth but here we speak onely of Terrestrials leaving the other to their due place and because such bearing is rare I am inforced rather than to passe them over with silence to use Coats of Device for expressing their sundry formes as in example What understood by the Spider Vpton saith that he hath seen Spiders borne in Coat-armour by a certain Lombard By the Spider we may understand a painfull and industrious person occupied in some honest and necessary businesse a man carefull of his private estate and of good foresight in repairing of small decayes and preventing of wracks The Spider her self is poysonfull and deadly yet is her web reckoned an Antidote against poyson notwithstanding the same is extracted out of her wombe In like sort saith Aelianus out of the poysonfull contagion and infectious venome of sin and transgression the Soveraign powers do take occasion to extract and establish wholesome and profitable lawes Pro. 30.28 against such notorious crimes Of the Spider Salomon writeth in this manner The Spider taketh hold with her hands and is in Kings Palaces Example touching procreation A very remarkable note doth Farnesius propose unto us taken from this poore despised creature the Spider touching the procreation of Children It is a matter of great consequence of what Parents a man is descended If we desire saith he to have a good rase of Horses a litter of speciall good Hounds for game choice Plants and stocks to plant our Orchards and Gardens with delectable fruits do we not use our uttermost endeavour to effect them How much greater should our care and providence be in the procreation of our children The first instruction that the children receive is in the veines and bowels of their Parents whereof we may take an Example from Spiders which are no sooner hatched and excluded out of their Egs but forthwith they practise to make webs as if they had brought with them even out of their Mothers wombe together with their life the Artificiall skill of webbing Holy and reverent is that piety that we owe to our Parents Parens enim est genitor parens patria parens denique est ipse Deus For he that begot us is our parent our Country is our parent and lastly God himself is our parent It hath been often questioned why the Father loveth the Son more de●●ly tenderly and affectionately than the Son doth the Father The reason is this Quia patris amor in filium a natura est filii in parentem ab officio The affectionate love of the Father proceedeth of Nature that of the son of duty Therefore the sacred Law hath decreed Amabis patrem matrem tuam Thou shalt love thy Father and thy Mother but not contrariwise for where the Law of Nature speaketh there is no need it should be assisted by Commandement Notwithstanding even naturally the love of the son to the Father is great We may learn saith Zanchius by these minute Animals how many and how great instructions we may receive from the universall number of creatures that God hath given us for instructors and teachers of Morall Discipline so that we will open our eyes to behold them and listen to Gods disciplining us in them Admirable doubtlesse is the Omnipotency of God in these his creatures for as Saint Hierome saith Epist ad Heliod Creatorem non in Coelo tantum miramur c. We do not admire Gods power in Heaven only and in earth the Sun Elephants Camels Oxen Boares Lyons c. but also in his smallest creatures the Ant Flea Flye and small Worme and others of like kind whose bodies or shapes are better known unto us than their names So much were the Israelites assotted in Idolatry as that they esteemed beasts for Gods as appeareth Wisdome 12.24 For they went astray farre in the wayes of errour and esteemed the beasts which their enemies despised for gods being abused after the manner of children that have no understanding So long is any Animal or living creature said to have life Breathing a token of life as he hath breath and the exercise thereof And this rule holdeth not onely in four-footed Animals but also in those that we call Insecta and in gliding Animals also As both Galen and Pliny do teach though Aristotle denieth these latter to have breath but therein he speaketh comparatively viz. in respect of other Animals that do attract and deliver their breath more strongly and more sensibly they seem to have no breath at all One example more I will propose which shall be of the Emmet is in this next Escocheon The examples hitherto produced are taken onely from Reptiles gressible and though of that kind which hath more than four feet I have alleadged only the two last Examples of Insecta yet there are some other of many feet which are not insecta as the Palmer-worme Cheeslip Kitchinbobs which being touched gather themselves round like a Ball and such like which must be referred to the same head And besides all these there are yet other some which be both Gressible and volant such are these that having their livelihood onely upon the earth by the help of a kind of wings they oftentimes change their place for the acquiring of their sustenance as in example Vagipennae why so called There are other of this kind whose wings are lesse manifest than the Grashoppers because they are closed in a kind of case that can hardly be discerned but when they are preparing to flye for which respect they are called vagipennae saith Calipine Quia alas vaginis quibusdam inclusas habent for carrying their wings sheathed as the Hartflye Beetle Lady-cow c. which together with Locusts and such other as are both Gressible and volant and many-legged are to be reduced to this head as to their proper and naturall place I will close up all these with one example of the Scorpion which Aeianus and others report to be winged in Aegypt and India though he doubts whether they are not rather bred by the heat of

so by the other we might magnifie his goodnesse towards man on whom he hath bestowed Fruit for Meat and Leaves for Medicine SECT III. CHAP. XI HAving hitherto handled that part of our distribution which comprehendeth things Vegetable proceed we now to the other Things Sensitive concerning things senstive which are all sorts of Animals or Creatures indued with senses The senses as likewise the sensitive soul are things in themselves not visible and therefore estranged from the Heralds uses but because they reside in Bodies of differing parts and qualities from any other before mentioned therefore in handling of these sensitive Creatures I hold it requisite to begin with their parts for of them the whole is raised and these are either the parts contained or containing or sustaining But sithence we are now to speak of things Sensitive and amongst them first of Terrestial Animals and their parts it shall not be impertinent to produce some few causes amongst many why these Terrestial Animals and Man were created in one day viz. the sixth day First because God had appointed the Earth to be the joynt habitation of Man and Beast together Secondly in respect of the near resemblance both of bodily parts and naturall properties that these Terrestrials have of Man in respect either of Fowles or of Fishes Lastly for that very many of them were to serve for mans ease and necessary use as Oxen to till the ground Horses for his ease in travell Dogs to be watchfull keepers of his House and others for other his necessary and domesticall uses There is no Animal but hath at the least these parts viz. Head wherewithall to receive food and wherein their senses have their residence a Belly to receive and concoct his meat intrals whereby to eject the supperfluities or excrements of aliment members also serving for the use and exercise of the Senses and others ordained for motion from place to place for without these members he cannot receive food or nutriment neither feel nor move Therefore there is neither labouring beast or beast of savage kind domesticall reptiles or other that can be with these bodily parts By the name of Soul and Life wherewith all sorts of Animals are endued from God Moses teacheth us Natural bloud or supplementall Humour that there is no living Creature to be found that hath not either true and natural bloud or at the least some kind of hot humour that is to it instead of bloud Anima enim cujusque Animalis in sanguine est as Moses teacheth Leviticus 17. and in sundry other places And in the common received opinion of all men In humido calido consistit vita That which is spoken of divers kindes of Insecta that there is no bloud to be found in them it is to be understood to be meant of true perfect and naturall bloud but of necessitie they must have in stead thereof some kind of humour in them that hath the qualitie of bloud viz. that is both hot and moist as aforesaid else can they not live Concerning Animals in generall it is not to be doubted but that all sorts of them as well those of savage and ravenous kind as those of domisticall and labouring kind as also venemous Serpents of themselves and of their owne nature were themselves good and might be good to others and profitable for mans use forasmuch as it is said Et vidit Elohim quod bonum But in that they are now become noisome and painefull to man that is per Accidens for this is occasioned by the sinne and transgression of Man whereby all things became accursed for his sake The utilitie or benefit that commeth to Man by these Terrestriall Animals is twofold the one pertaining to the body the other to the Soule The corporall benefit that commeth to man by them who knoweth not For daily experience sheweth us how beneficiall the use of Horses Oxen Kine Calves Sheep and other sorts of Beast and Cattel of all sorts are for the service of Man whereof some serve us for food some for rayment some for carriage some for tillage and other for divers other uses Of this use of them Moses saith That God hath subjected all things to man Omnia subjecisti sub pedibus ejus c. And made him Ruler over the Fishes of the Sea the Fouls of the ayre and the Beasts of the Land whereby he giveth us to understand that all sorts of Animals were created for the divers uses of man and each one of them ordained to a severall end But their spirituall use is far more noble and excellent by how much the soule surpasseth the body in dignity and worthiness And their use consisteth not alone in this that by the consideration of them we are led to the knowledg of God and of his wisedome power and goodnesse for this use hath all things else that are created as appeareth Rom. 1. and elsewhere But also that in these Animals God hath proposed to us such notable examples of imitation in respect of vices to be eschewed that the sacred Scriptures excepted there is no morall precepts can better instruct us than these Animals do which are daily in our view and of which we have daily use amongst these we may produce some examples of Fishes and Foules but many more may we gather from Terrestriall Animals And to the end we should shunne the ignorance of things Psal 32. such especially as are celestiall David the kingly Prophet proposeth to us for examples the Horse and Mule saying Non eritis sicut Equus Mulus in quibus non est intellectus Like as naturall Philosophy consisteth in other things so doth it chiefely in the knowledg of Animals viz. in the understanding of their wisedome natures and properties which knowledge hath beene approved by God himselfe from the beginning and not onely approved but also ordained and given to Adam for Moses saith God brought these Animals unto Adam to the end that he should advisedly view and consider them To the end that Adam should give them names answerable to their shapes natures proportion and qualities And that the imposition of these names should not be casually or at adventure for God abhoreth all disorder and confusion but deliberately and according to reason So as every thing might be aptly distinguished from other by their particular names and according to their severall natures and dispositions And that for our benefit That we hearing their names and understanding their significations may be led to the understanding of their naturall properties for which Etymologie or true interpretation and derivation of words is very behovefull and of great use The Parts contained are Humours and Spirits whereof onely the first is used in Coat-armours wherein are represented sometimes Drops of bloud Humors and sometimes Tears which both are naturally Humors contained though in Armory they are supposed no longer to be contained but shed forth The Bearing of this Humour Bloud Bloud
