 chap: i. 
 
 This Chapter treateth of the original & uni- 
 verfality , the fundry Denominations , 
 And the original Difcipline of Arms and 
 Enfigns , with their ufe and ntcefftty : 
 Their Sympathy with the Bearers^ ad 
 conformity with Karnes^ thei De' nation, 
 Blazon , t , Accidents and 
 
 Paiti, and Ufily their Abatements and 
 Rewat ds of Honour. 
 
 , f a "^ H E Dignity and Eftimation 
 
 of Arms cannot but be great, 
 
 if we alone conGder that ic 
 
 Ji^ delights tbc Beholders,great- 
 
 ly Graces the places where they are ere- 
 
 A tf;ed, 
 
*- an (Cffat to 
 
 <fted , and gives occaiicn to the Behol- 
 ders to make inquiry whole they are , 
 and of what family the bearer is defen- 
 ded. 
 
 Before I proceed further , it wiU not 
 be unneceflary briefly to begin with fome 
 Obfervations fuitable to this fnbjecT: , and 
 firft: , of thofe A/arks or Enfigns called 
 Arms % in Latin Arma, 
 
 The word Arm* as in GuiUims Heral- 
 dry , is taken for very natural Inftru- 
 ments , and in this fence Doctor Cafius 
 doth ufe the iame where he faith , Arma 
 btUiiis natura dedit y ut Leoni Dentes, ftr- 
 ■p( nti aculeum^ &c. 
 
 It is alfa taken for all manner of 
 Inflrumems that belong to Mechanical 
 Trades. 
 Inftru- 1 1 is likewi fe taken for uii forts of War- 
 men's Mi. [fa inftmments : But the word Arma doth 
 1,cary * not here fignify anv of thefe things , but 
 i$ taken for Sh elds Targets , Military 
 Cijfockji Banners, and other Martial In- 
 ftrnmehts on which they were Engraven^ 
 Evsboffcd or depitJed , and thefe were pe- 
 culiar only to Martial, Men 9 and '^rofefc 
 fed SoHidicrs , which to this day is called 
 Armty from the Latin word Arma. And 
 Gandhis Fancbes faith that Armes have 
 
 their 
 
HERALDRY. 1 
 
 their denomination , becaufe Military 
 Men did bear their feveral Devices as a- 
 forefaid upon their Shields, 
 
 Gnillim faith that Arms were called 
 SymboU, which fignifies tokens or Marks, 
 which in the time of Hoftility or civil 
 Tumults were given to Seuldiers by their 
 Captain* oi ?hief Commanders, for diftin- 
 guifhing of particular Perfons , as well 
 amongft themfelves as from their Ene- 
 mies. 
 
 Thefe Armorial Notes fo much in re- 
 queft now amongtt us , are oft times cal- 
 led Enfigns, which comprizeth in gene- 
 ral all Marks and Tokens of Honour due 
 to meritorious Perfons, as well in refpedt 
 of their Government, Learning , wifdom, 
 Magnanimin , Src. as for their Martisl 
 Prowes. Aniw-ngft thefe Enfigns are thofe 
 Marks and Shapes of Animals, that Mar- 
 tial Men ufed to adorn their Helmets 
 withal, to the end that they might ap- 
 pear more eminent in the Fitld, and be 
 the better taken notice of for their valo- 
 rous Adtions, when they encountred 
 their enemies in Battle, or fhould draw 
 on their forces to 6ght. 
 
 Note the ufe of thefe Enfigns was yet 
 
 further extended then the Adorning of 
 
 A 2 Shields 
 
4 anCflatto 
 
 Shields and Helmets •, for Ships were beau- 
 tifyed with Arms on their Stems , todi- 
 f inguifh the one from the other, as the 
 Ship where St. Tad went, whofeBadg 
 was Cafier and Pollux ; alfo the fore- 
 Deck of Europa that was carried away, 
 had the form of a Bull depicted thereon, 
 which gave occafion to the fable, that a 
 Bull had ltolen away Europa , nor did the 
 Antients only ufe it , but it hath been a 
 Cuftom in all fucceeding Ages , even to 
 this day, and from thence doth come the 
 names of Ships. 
 Dsfoitioi Arms then, according to original ufe, 
 of Arms. arc Tokens or Refemblances fignifying 
 feme Ad or Quality of the Bearer , ei- 
 ther by fbme worthy exploit performed 
 in Military Affairs (efpecially if bellow- 
 ed by a Noble Prince) or eife by their 
 Learning and Wifdom , which they do 
 by fpending their Spirits in continual 
 fludy to make themfelves fit for the 
 Patronage and defence of their Coun- 
 try. 
 Rebuffes. Sometimes there are Arms born, which 
 may feem to have been devifed fin their 
 fir ft lNftitutiott)accoiding to the Sir-Name 
 of the Bearer, as 3 Carries for Cafileton j 
 three Gates for Tatcs; three Coneys for 
 
 Conisby

 Ccnisby and the like, and fuch Bearings 
 are called Rebujfes being very Antient. 
 
 If there were two dictincl Families 
 of one Sir-Name, yet bearing federal 
 Coat Armors, it is not evident that they 
 were both extra&ed from one Anchor , 
 for the Coxt- Armour is the exprefs fign 
 of Diftincbon. 
 
 As fuppofe there are two Families 
 divers in Name , and ifTbed from feve- 
 ral Parents , and both of them do bear 
 one Coat Armour, and l ?of on? 
 
 of them is agreeable to tne C t Ar- 
 mour , and the other diflbn ant ircrnthe 
 fame-, now the queftion is, to which 
 doth this Coat belong ^ in anfwer it r 
 according to probability be conjectured, 
 to belong to him whole appellation is 
 agreeable therewith, rather than to the 
 other. And it is obfervable, that two 
 diftincr. Families ought not, nor are they 
 allowed to bear one and the fame Coat- 
 Armour^ but among ft the IVeljh this Rule 
 is not cbferved. 
 
 There is between the Arms and their sympst 1 y 
 'Bearers a kind of Sympathy , infomuch of Arms 
 as he who difhonourably or unreverent- with their 
 ly ufeth the Arms of anyone, feemeth Bear5:s - 
 to have offered an sfFront to thePer- 
 A a (on 
 
6 an $ffai? to 
 
 {on of their Bearer , infornuch that ac- 
 cording to the opinion of fome Author s> 
 their owner may right himfelf againft 
 fuch an Offender, aBione injuriarum.

 peculiar Bearings The Romans chofe 
 the Eagle the greedieft of all Birds : The 
 Fhrigians the Sow, a hurtful Beaft : The 
 Thrafians Mars : The antient Goths the 
 Bear : The People of Alani , that in- 
 vaded Spain the Cat, a greedy and craf-

 of valiantnefs and hardinefs. The En-

 There be of them alfo that fez in their 
 Shields Svrords, Daggers, Halberts, sixes, 
 Towers, Caftles, Engines, and many oilier 
 Initruments of Homicide and Deitrj- 
 ction .- Furthermore the Enfigns of thz 
 Perfians was a Bow and Quivers , like- 
 wile amongft the Heathen Gods , Jupi- 
 ter chofe Lightning •, Neptune t he Cripple 
 toothed Mace \ Mars the Javi line ; Bac- 
 chm the Spear wrapped in Boughs ar.d 
 Ivy \ Saturn the Siith , and every one of 
 thefe Badges of Arms, accoidingto the 
 nature of his Cruelty , Raving, Viohme, 
 Manhood, &c. As the Heralds do ap- 
 point, are fuppofed fome robe Nobler 
 Bearings then others •, for the more 
 cruel and fierce the Beaft or Foxvi is, the 
 more Noble is that Shield efeemed, ard 
 thofe Targets or Shields that have milder 
 things thereon, as Trees, Flowers. Flints, 
 and the like, alfo the San^ Moon, Sr.-.rs, 
 Planets, and other of the Celefiiai Spheres; 
 or fuch as be parted oniv with variety c I 
 colours, or charged with any of the Ho- 
 nourable Ordinaries only , as alfo by any 
 Artificial things , made by the Invention 
 of Man : Thefe and fuch like things are 
 A 4 not 
 
not efteemed io Noble as the former, 
 and are not io Antient Bearings. 
 
 Thus having briefly ihewed the firfl: 
 Original Inftitution and life of Arms, I 
 fhall proceed to the pra&ick Exercife of 
 thefe Armerial Tokens , which appertain 
 to the Office of a Herald , and is termed 
 Armory, and may be thus defined ; Ar- 
 Definlti- t»*ry is m Art rightly prefcribing the true 
 on of Ar» fycwlc^g and nfe of Armi. 
 W9r J; The skill of Armory confiits in BUzjon- 
 
 ing and MArjhaHing. 
 Rules in By Blazoning is underftood the dif- 
 Blazoniig playing or exprcfling a Coat of Arms in 
 f ms ' its proper Colours and Metals , for to 
 lay Colour upon Colour, Metal upon Me- 
 tal is a great fault, and a different 
 form of Blazoning makes the Arms not 
 the fame. 
 ; Rulei ia By Mtrjballwg is underftood the joyn- 
 ?f £rt J.* 1 ' ing of divers Arms in one Shield , in 
 } 8 ***' which youmuft have a great care, but of 
 this more when I treat of Arms joyned 
 together. 
 
 You muft ufe no repetition of words, 
 but comprife them in as few as you can. 
 
 A French Armor i^ faith , that to Bla- 
 zon , is to exprefs what the Shapes , 
 Kinds , and Colour of things born in 
 
 Arms 
 
HERALDRY. g 
 
 Arms are, together, with their apt and 
 proper Significations. 
 
 In Khz BUz-wing of any Coat of Arvis, 
 always obferye this fpeciai Rule , firft 
 begin with the Field , and then pro- 
 ceed to the Blazon of the Charge , 2nd if 
 there be Hindry things charged in the 
 Field, whether they be of one or divers 
 kinds, name that firft which is moft pre- 
 dominate, and lyeth next the field, and 
 then that which is rapfl Remote. 
 
 The Blazon of Arms CQetifts in Acu-, 
 dents afid Tarts -^ and fuch Accidents are 
 Tincture and Differ ends. 
 
 Tintlure , as Guillim notes , is ? v?.rt- Tifl&ure.f 
 able hew of Arms, and is as well comiron 
 to differences of Arms, as to Aims thcro- 
 felves, and the fame is diftributed into 
 Colours and Furs. 
 
 Colours he faith is an external Dye , colours, 
 wherewith any thing is coloured or 
 ftained \ orelfe is the glofs of any body 
 beautified with light ; and the Colour 
 here mentioned is both General and Spe- 
 cial ; by General is underftocd the pro-

 what kind foever they are llluitrated , 
 or let forth in their external or proper 
 Beauty, Things 
 
xo an $ffai? to 
 
 Things that are born in their natural 
 Colours are to be blazoned proper, and 
 not to mention the Colours. 
 
 Other things there are in Armory which 
 have only names attributed unco them , 
 andnoG?/*/*r fpecified in the Blazoning 
 thereof, the name being fufficient to ex- 
 prefs the fame, although the form is all

 The Cole White is *rg«rt« 
 reiembled to Light, and

 Pearl , which Plato faith hath a reftora-

 is verifyed by Jofefhus, who-faith, that 
 when the City of Jemjalem was befieged 
 by Titus Veftafiantis, the Jews lived fome 
 time only upon Pearls, and Ariftotlt faith 
 it comforteth the Brain. 
 
 The Planet is Luna , which Pliny faith Lum. 
 is the Fairnefs of the Night , the Mother 
 of the Honour, and Lady of the Sea and 
 Times, She is alfo faid to be the changer 
 of the Air and Winds , aud as the Scrip-

 Ruby. The precious Stone is the Ruby, which 
 
 neither Fire nor Water wafieth or fpoyl-

 Azure. g g The word Azure lig- 
 
 nifies Blew , and is ex- 
 preflcd by Hatches over-

 is a Royal Colour repre- 
 fenting the Skie \ it fig- 
 nifies Loyalty, Chaflity ,

 The word Sable figni- Sable; 
 fies Black, and is expref- 
 fed by crofs Hatches as in

 though it doth reprefent 
 Mourning, yet is of a 
 good efteem in Armory. 
 This Colour fignifies Prudence , Con- 
 ftancy and Heavinefs for the left of 
 Friends -, the Precious Stone is the Di*- Diatnoad 
 mond> which of all other is of the great- 
 eft value, and is of that hardnefs, that 
 it cutteth all Stones and Metals. The 
 Planet is Saturn, the moft malevolent 
 of all others, and under whom are 
 brought forth Grave CemceUors , great 
 Builders and good Houfe- keepers. 
 
 Thewordr<?rf isc7m#, Vert,

 for its precioufnefs was fet in the Bread 
 of Aaron. The Planet is Mercury , which 
 is of a goodly Temperature , being of 
 quality good with good, and goeth with 
 evil for Company fake. 
 
 Tenny or Tamy is a bright colour, and 
 made of Red and Yellow , and is ex- 
 preft by Hatches like the Purpure j A-

 is the Jacynthe , which is faid to be of 
 fingular Vertue. ,This Tenny is com- 
 pared to the Dragons Head , which al-

 TEMPORAL BARONS* 
 
 See G*iV. A Baron is a Dignity next unto at 
 Nar. arfi /\ Vifcount, and our Law Books 
 Chap.9» ma kes a difference between Dhk;s,Mar- 
 qwffes, Earls, and Fifcounts, which are al- 
 lowed Mimes of Dignity, and the Mjton ^ 
 for they affirm that fnch a B-.iron needs 
 not to be named Lord, or Baron by the 
 Writ, but the Duke, Marquis, Sec. ought 
 to be named by their N*m s and Dignity. 
 This D j nity is very ancient* they were 
 fii ft called Valvafors, which name theS*** 
 ctfjchang d \x\toThanes, and the Normans 
 to Banns. And 'tis the received opini- 
 on that in thofe days every Earl had ten 
 Barotts under him, every Biron ten 
 Knights fees holden of him, a; d thofe 
 thac had four Knights fees'v&Toffeffion were 
 ufually called to the degree ot a Baron. 
 Three There are three forts Or kinds of 
 
 fori of gafons, v#4 by Tenure, by Writ, and by 
 ParoIll# Creation or Patent. 
 
 i . Barons hy 'tenure or Prescription are 
 thofe that hold any Hononr, Caftle . or 
 Mannor^ as the head of their Barony of 
 
 which 
 
HERALDRY. 241 
 
 which there are two for;s Spiritual and 
 Temporal and thefe are the mofr ancient 
 Barons. 
 
 2 My. Barons by Writ are thofe to whom B?foni by 
 a W it of Simmons in the Kings name is di- Writ. 
 reded to come to Parliament., &c. which 
 kind of Writ is the fame as directed to 
 Barons by Tenure ', as alfo to Barons by Pa- 
 tent , b-.it thofe that are nor B irons by Te- 
 nure nor Patent, 3nd have on ! v fuch Writs, 
 after rh? receipt of fuch a W it and place 
 taken in Parliament accordingly ought to 
 enjoy the Name and Dignity of a Baron. 
 
 The Brft infcitution of them is fup- 
 pofed to be in the 49 of Henry the Third, 
 to fuppiy the places of the Rebellions Bd- 
 rons then engaged agamfr. him in a Civil 
 War. 
 
 $diy. Barons by Patent ar.e Created Barons by 
 by the Kings Letters Patents to them and Patent* 
 their Heirs Male lawfully begotten, and 
 this was begun in the Reign of King Ri- 
 chard the Second. 
 
 Barons have their Hoodor Chapeau, their 
 Surcoat and Mamie which hath two guards 
 of white Fur, on their Shoulders : Alfo a 
 Coronet with fix Pearls placed at equal di- 
 fiance. 
 
 They have the Titles of Right Ho*
