MDCC XXIV. ee Mr. Guillim’s PREFACE 20. Ff HE Ree ye ee O W difficule a thing it is to produce Form out of Things fhapelef> and deformed, and to prefcribe Limits to Things confufed, there is none but may eafily perceive, if he fhall take buc a flight View of the Chaos-like Contemperation of Things, not only diverfe, but repugnant in Nature, hitherto concorpo- rated in the generous Profeffion of Heraldry: As the Forms of the pure Cele/tial Bodies, mix’d with grofs Terre/trials ; Earthly Animals, with Watery ; Savage Beafts, with Tame; Whole-footed Beafts, with Divided ; Reptiles, with Things Greffible; Fowls of Prey, with Home-bred; thefe again, with River-Fowls ; Airy In- feéta, with Earthly ; alfo Things Natural, with Artificial ; Arts Liberal, with Me- chanical; Military, with Ruftical; and Rujtick with Gvil. Which confufed Mix- ture hath not a little difcouraged many Perfons ( otherwife well affected to the Study of Armory) and impaired the Eftimation of the Profeffion. For Redrefs whereof myfelf (tho’ unableft of many ) have done my Beft, in this my Di/- play.of Heraldry, to diffolve this deformed Lump, diftributing and digefting each Particular thereof into his peculiar Rank; wherein, albeit the Iflue of my En- terprize be not anfwerable to the Height of my Defires, yet do I aflure my felf my Labour herein will not be altogether fruitlels; forafmuch as hereby 1 have broken the Ice, and made Way to fome After-comers of greater Gifts and riper Judgment, that they may give a fairer Body to this my delineated rough Draught, or Shadow of a/new framed Method. For if Men of greateft Skill have failed to give abfolute Form to their Works, notwithf{tanding their beft Endeavours, with little Reafon may fuch Perfe@tion be expected from me, whofe Talent is fo fmall, as that I am forced to build wholly upon other Men's Foundations; and therefore may be thought to have undertaken an idle Task, in writing of Things formerly handled and publifhed by Perfons of more Suf- ficiency and greater Judgment. Notwithftanding, who knoweth nor, that asevery Man hath his proper Conceit and Invention, fo hath he his feveral Drift and Purpofe, fo as divers Men writing of one felf Argument, do handle the fame di- _verlly ? Which being fo, whar letteth chat every of us, writing ina diverfe kind, ; a2 may e* Mr. Guillim’s Preface to the Reader. may not without Offence to other, ufe our utmoft Endeavours to give unto this _erft unfhapely and difproportionable Profeffion of Heraldry, a true Symme- tria and proportionable Correfpondence of each Part to other? Inafmuch (if I be not deceived ) both they and myfelf do all aim at one Mark, which is fo to adorn and beautify this Science, as that it being purged from her wonted Defor- mities, may become more plaufible to many, and be favourably entertained of all ; which could not be otherwife better effected, than by diffolving of this Chaos-like, or confufed Lump, and diffevering of each Particular thereof from other, and difpofing them under their peculiar Heads, which is the full Scope of thefe my Travails. Now to the End I might the better acccomplith this Tash, after I had carefully collected the chief Grounds, Principles, Rules, and Obfervations that Ger. Leigh, Bofwell, Ferne, Bara, Chaffaneus, and other beft approved Au- thors in their feveral Works have written touching the Rudiments and firft Principles of Armory, then did I ferioufly bethink myfelf for the orderly Diftribution of thofe their difperfed Notes and Objervations fo by me colleéted, and digefting of them into fome Form of Method, or atthe leaft into-fome Methodical- Refemblance, wherein, I hope, I have in fome Sort accomplifhed my Defire, and have, for thy better Underftanding and Apprehenfion ( Gentle Reader ) firft diftributed this Work into Seétious, and thofe into Chapters, briefly fhewing their feveral Subftances and orderly Connexions; and throughout the Whole I have begun with the Genus of each Kind, and fevered them into their Species, which alfo are fubdi- vided into Individua’s, annexing particular Rules to each feveral Sort. More- over, I have added Definitions, Divifions, and Etymologies of the Artificial Terms peculiarly pertaining to this Art, beftowed the chief Grounds, Principles, Rules, and Obfervations under their proper Heads, and manifefted their Ufe by Exam- ples of {pecial Choice, whereby they receive not only Warrant, but alfo lively Senfe and Vigour, in Default whereof they would become deftitute of all Force, according to that faying of Aretius, Pracepta, quantumyis bona ¢ concinna, mortua funt, nifi ipfe Auditor varis exemplis ea reprefentat. . Finally, to the end that nothing fhould be wanting thar might give thee full Contentment, I have prefix’d be- fore every Se&tion an Analogical ‘Table, briefly comprehending the Subftance of each fubfequent Seétion, and that with fuch Coherence, that each of the faid Ta- bles anfwereth in a Relative Refpect of the one of them to the other; fo as all of them do jump together in an univerlal Coherence, as by their particular Re- ferences doth manifeltly appear; whereby 1 have brought to pafs (though with long and difficult Labour) that in this my Dijfplay of Heraldry, thou mayeft eafily find (beftowed according to Order ) whatloever thou defireft concerning the Principles of this Profefion: So that thou in fhort Time, and with much Eafe, mayeft reap not only a profitable Gleaning, but a plentiful Harve/t of this my long and painful Lucubrations.

Shields, ec. and which Time and Ufe has transfer’d to the Accommodation and Glory of the Pofterities of thofe who firft receiv’d them. For though they have now invented other offenfive Wea pons, there- by rendring fuch Habiliments ufelefs, which cre- ated the prefent Difference betwixt In/ignia, and the Arma whereon they were placed; the firft be- ing now become the Figures on Seals, Rings, Walls, Monuments, and {uch other Concomitants of civil Society and Order 5 yet in Remembrance of their firft Ufe, do they give them the fame Names, viz. in Latin Arma, in Englifh Axis. “ Claudius Fauchet faith, That Arms have “ their Denomination, becaufe military Men “« bare their Devices, or Inventions, depicted up- “ on their Coat-Armours; and in and upon their “ Shields. The Civilians ( faith Mackenzie) call thefe Arms, In/ignia, |. 2. in prin- cip. f. de his qui not. infam. |. cos, Se&t. 2. f. de falfis. But Barth. (adds he) is taxed for Infigniis & Infigniorum, whereas the true Latin is Infignibus & Infignium, Some (faith my Author) call them Infignia Armorum, the La- tin of which is alfo doubted by Tiragquel, Cap. Num. rg. “. Aldrovandus believes that this Name Infignia “ might proceed of the Barrennefs of the Latin “ ‘Tongue: His Words are thefe, Infignium no- “ men ex Lingua Latina videtur fluxiffe inopia, “ @& certe vix aliud vocabulum buic magis qua- “ drat, quod hac pracipue virtutis, & gentilita- “ tis five nota five funum fit > The Word Infis- “ nia feems to be made choice of, becaufe the ee “ tin Tongue would afford no better : For certain. “ ly there is not a fitter Term in that Language “ to exprefs the Enfigns of Nobility and Valour. By Infignia we are to underftand all Signs or Marks which diftinguifh Men one from another as they differin Merit or Defert: Nam Infignia 3 Signo derivatur , quafi_ aliquo Signo ab aliis dif- cretus & feparatus, faith Feflus. And hence (as Waterboufe obferves) it is, that we read of every more than ordinary Thing, either good or evil, exprefled by Infigne. + Virgil tells us of fuperbum Infigne belli, and Tacitus, +8 Suid. of infignire annum Cladibus, and Oa * Tully of infigne flagitium, and infig- " ¥*- 6 niter improbus, and Livy of dies infignis duplict Clade, and Quintilian of prodigiofa corpora & Monftris infignia. “ Of the Number of Enfigns, are thofe Notes, ‘¢ Marks, and Shapes of Animals, that martial “© Men ufed to adorn the Crefts of their Helmets “*withal, to make themfelves more eminent in the * Field: And to the end there might be better “ notice taken of their valorous A@ions, when “ they Sctence of He= rald pit. The INTRODUCTION. F > they encountered their Enemies in Battel, or “ fhould draw on their Forcés to fight; whereof * we fhall have caufe to {peak hereafter in place “© more convenient, when we {hall come to treat ‘© of them particularly. ‘© The Ufe of thefe was yet extended farther * than the adorning of Shields and Helmets on- ly ; for Ships alfo and other navigable Veffels, * were garnifhed and beautified in their Fore- Decks, yea, and that in very ancient time, for the diftinguifhing of one Ship from another, as * we may fee, Ads 28.11. where St. Paul faith, “ he went ina Ship whofe Badge was Ca/for and “* Pollux ; alfo the Fore-deck of the Ship that carried away Europa, hadthe Form of a Bull “* painted thereon, which gave occafion to the Fa- “ ble, That a Bull bad ftoln ber away. Neither did the. Ancients only ufe this, but it hath been a receiv’d Cuftom in all Ages fithence, and yet continues with us unto this Day. Hereof it cometh that we give the Ships the « Names of the Things that are depicted upon *¢ them, as the Bull, Bear, Lyon, Tyger, gc. * ie Verbs Arms are alfo call’d Symbola, which Suupeae. Suidas * terms by nda, mat pee, ofoy oupdion re Pbapaav avay + avOpcomoy weg Te Sovare, Gs NXpucervos garaves, making the Sepiment of Skin which Man is bounded, with a Symbol of his Mortality. Thefe Symbols were anciently (for that the World was a long time without the ufe of Letters, all Men, if any thing acquainted with Antiquity, know ) the only way of exprefling the Nature and Meaning of Things ; the Zgyp- tians, Chaldees, Greeks, and Latines, all us’d them and tranfmitted many brave Atchievements thereby to Pofterity for their Examples, as Lj- lius Giraldus out of * Famblicus, Plutarch, and * tihde Syms. Other Authors, hath largely obferv’d. Pythagre & Therefore what Plaurus and Pliny ex- tis fecunda . eens > prefs by Te/fera and Syngrapha ; el- Catal. gl. der times, as Waterhoufe obferves, did Mund. p. 58. by Symbola, which in refemblance are like Parables in Speech : For though Symbola is alfo apply’d as a Name or Denomination, yet it is more properly the Cypher that fets out the Nature of Arms, for the Arms or Device on the Shield is but an Idea of the Bearer, a Re- prefentation of fomething more excellent, which isconceal’d, and to which that is but the Fefcue or Finger. But thefe Arms (as Mackenssie ob- ferves) are diftinguifhed from thofe _ Hieroglyphicks, Symbols, Emblems, and Devices of old which have given them Name, in that thofe require no fix’d Colours, as Arms do. The Emblem reprefents fome moral Leffon, but Arms. are the Teftimony of fome noble A- ction; Arms are Hereditary, but thefe affum’d, and altered at Pleafure, Arms are called by the Germans, Wappen *, or Clenodia; by the Ita- lians Carmas , and by the French ereeons Armoiries. Mackenzie, cap.t.p.t. Places of Rendezvous, where Men affembled in Arms, Science of He- vald, p. 1. * Whence, I pre= ume , comes our Wo'd Weapon, ‘ Arms then, as they are here meant, accord- ing to their original and firft Ufe, may be thus defined : Arms are Tokens or Refem- blances, fignifying fome A@, or Quality of the Bearer. Thus Arms are, generally and according to their prefent Ufe, hereditable Marks or Signs of Honour, taken wine's cade or granted by Sovereign Princes, 4, p. ©. to reward and diftinguith Perfons, Families and Communities in War and Peace. “ Thefe Arms are fometimes compofed of Na- tural Things, as of fome Kinds of celeftial Bodies, vis. of the Sun, Moon, Stars, cc. Sometimes of four-footed Beafts, or of Birds, or of Serpents, or of Fithes, or fome other Reptiles ; or elfe of fome kind of Vegetables, as Trees, Shrubs, Flowers, Fruits, Leaves, dvc. or of fome folid Things, as Caftles, Towers, Mountains, @e, or of Things pertaining ‘to Arts Liberal, or Trades Mechanical, gc. Sometimes again they are compact of .none of thefe, but do confift only of the Variations of Simple Colours, counter-chang’d by occa- fion of Tranfverfe, Perpendicular, or what- foever other Line ufed in Coat-Armour, whe- “ ther the fame be Streight, Crooked, Bunch- ed, gc. whereby pafling throush the Efco- “ cheon, either Tranfverfe, Oblique, or Diredt, the Colours become tranfmuted or Counter- “ chang’d; of all which I fhall have Occafion « to {peak hereafter in their particular Place. © As touching the Antiquity of thefe Signs which we call Arms, Diodorus Siculus maketh mention, that Ofyris, furnamed Fupiter the Fult, Son to Cham the curfed Son of Noab, called of the Gentiles Fanus, being banithed from the bleffed Tents of Shem and Faphet ; by reafon of the Curfe fallen upon his Father, was conftrained to feek fome remote Place, wherein he might fettle himfelf, his Children, and People. For which purpofe he aflembled a great Army, and appointed Hercules his eldeft Son Captain ; and in this fo Ancient an Expedition of Wars, as well Ofpris himfelf as Hercules, Macedon and Anubis, his Sons and others, did paint certain Signs upon their ¢ Shields, Bucklers, and other Weapons ; which © Signs were after called Arms ; as for Example, © Ofyris bare a Scepter Royal, infigned on the © Top with an Eye: Hercules a Lyon Rampant, * holding a Battle-Axe: Macedon a Wolf, and © Anubis a Dog. Now as their Inftitution you fee is not new, but ab initio Religionis, viz. from Ofpris and I/is more than four Hundred Years before the I/rae- lites departed out of Egypt; fo neither was their Ufe limited or reftrain’d toa few Nations, but general; which Argument Mr. Bolton makes ufe of to prove the Notion natural ; alledging that whatfoever is fo taken up as thatit is found practis’d by all Nations, muft certainly claim Foundation in Nature, or (whichis the fame) that whatever all Countries, civil or barbarous, agree to in the main (though differing perhaps in fome Circum- ftances ) muft undoubtedly proceed from the A2 Didates c © 6 ¢ An Re AR a ean. SiN. SoMa a \ Vda 4 T Didtates of natural Reafon : This being true (as* Nisbet obferves) ’tis more than pro- bable that Arms are founded uport Nature 5 for that Signs and Marks upon Shields, gc. have been conftantly made ufe of, both by the ancient and modern Inhabi- tants, not only of this, but likewife of the new dilcovered World of America, might be eafily made appear from many Paflages to be met with in fundry Hiftorians. “By which it feems proba- ble that Infignia were at firft the rude Productions of Nature, and not the Invention of any particu- lar Perfon, or SetofMen. And had it been other- wife, ’tis likely we fhou’d have had an Account tranfinitted to us by fome one or other of former Ages, at what particular Time, and by whom the Ufe of them was firft introduc’d ; for want of which it is {earce poffible to know perfectly the Progrefs of Arms, from their firft Beginning to their prefent Stite and Condition: Yet as Nisbet continues, if we confider the Figures in Heraldry, whether natural or proper, with the Tinures and Pieces, whether ancient or modern, whereof Arms are compofed, we may arrive at fome pro- bable Conjecture concerning their gradual Improve- ments; and we fhall thereby moft readily learn how that Arms, froma rude and fimple Begin- hing, have grown up to their prefent Perfection and Splendour; but of this anon. I will firft thew that the Ufe of Armorial Enfigns was gene- ral, by a fhort Catalogue of fuch Nations, and Perfons, as I find to have born them of high An- tiquity, viz.

And the Mexicans, an Hand holding many Ar- rows of Reeds, as Fofephus Acofd informs us ; adding that their Ufe was continued in Memory of Acampixtli the Affumer thereof, and firft King of Mexico, whofe Name in their Dialed fignifies the fame. “ Paulus Amilius faith, that anciently the “ French Kings did bear Argent three Diadems, * Gules: Others fay , they bare three Toads “ fable, ina Field Vert, alias Sinople. “ We find alfo in Homer and in Virgil, that the Heroes had their Signs or Marks, whereby ce 0 DUCTION. their Perfons were diftin@ly known, and dif- cerned in Battel, as well as their Kings and Commons had their publick Enfigns. “ Achilles had his Shield beautifully adorn’d with great Variety of Things celeftial ; as the Motion of the Sun, Moon, Stars, Planets, and other the celeftial Spheres; the Situation of the Earth, and the adjacent Iflands; the Seas, with the Ebbing and Flowing thereof, ec. whereof I fhall have better Occafion offered to {peak more at large hereafter ; alfo Amphia- raus (as Pindarus the Theban Poet affirmeth in his Expedition to Thebes, bare in his Shield a painted Dragon. Capaneus one of the feven Captains that befieg’d Thebes, bare the many- headed Hydra that Hercules fought withal, as Statius the Neapolitan Poet reporteth. “ Polynices a Sphinx.

And Aventine the Herculean Badge, or a Re- femblance of the Serpent Hydra, which was flain and aflum’d by his Progenitor, as Siliud Italicus remembers in’ thefe Words > Centum angues idem calatum infigne ferebat : A bundyed Snakes engraven on his Shield. And many Years before that, on the fame Occafion, the celebrated Poet Vergil had Chpeoque infigne Paternum Centum angues,cinctamg; gerit JSerpentibusHy dram. His Father's Coat into the Field he brings, An hundred Snakes, and Hydra arm’d with Stings. 73 Ingua was the Hereditary Name of the Kings of Peru, and their Gentilicial Arms a Rainbow and Two Snakes ; as Bolon in his Elements of Armory, p. 45. informs us out of Fofepbus Acofta. And thefe, I fuppofe, were the Paffages that in- duced Mr. Nisbet, Pag. 6. to call thofe ancient Afflumptions Hereditable ( not Hereditary ) di- ftinguifhing Marks ; and fuch as thefe have led fome into unwarrantable Conceits, I might to thofe aforegoing, add numerous other Inftances of the Antiquity of perfonal Bearings, not only in this politeft Part of the World, Europe 5 but Afia, Africa, and America, collectable out of Modern Authors; as Leigh, Cambden, Bolton, Waterboufe, and others, who have fifted the beft.Authors of Antiquity : But I rather refer the Curious to their Writings, partly becaufe (having undertaken here’ to illu- {trate an Introduction, not frame a Treatife) I wou’d be brief; and partly becaufe (according to my humble Opinion) all they have written, or that may be reafonably conjectur’d from their Works, can never prove our prefent commen- dable Ufe of Arms fo ancient as fome feem to infinuate. I very much reverence both Arms and their Admirers; yet I cannot agree with fome The INTRODUCTION. m) fome Writers, concerning their Antiquity, no more than I cou’d believe that any commen- dable or profitable Invention is defpifeable, be- eaufe unknown in the laft Century, The Ingenious Mr. Nisbet, in his Chapter up- on Cadency, thakes the Difference betwixt thofe ancient Affumptions and Arms, as now regulated and eftablifhed, no more than the Difference be- twixt an ancient Piece of Painting,or Building, atid the Mafter-piece of a Modern Artift in.either Sci- ence 5 by which, I think, he wou’d inftru@ us, that Heraldry or Armory was then in being as a Science, only improv’d by fucceeding Ages, as moft Arts are, to a nearer Perfection : Which though I thall not contradict, I cannot agree to, becaufe, though the Notion of Enfignment, as Bolton has it, isnatural ; or though Signs and Marks of Honour, State, and Condition are allow’d on all Hands to have been made ufe of by the An- cients, yet I never cou’d find that thofe Figures on their Shields, Targets or other Arma, are any where prov’d to be thofe Infignia or Marks of Di- ftindion, being at the beft but only conjectur’d fo, by fuch as cou’d not prove it; and I doubt not but the ordinary and common Men in thofe an- cient Times, a3 well as their Leaders, us’d them at their Pleafure. The Romans and others, did indeed ufe National Enfigns, that is, Military Standatds, and the like, juft as we do: They might alfo ufe Note or Infignia on their Sheilds, Bucklers, @c. for Emblems, perfonal Diftin@ion, or Ornament; but not as the Rewards of Merit, Hereditary, or Family Diftin@ions. They had indeed their Images, and other Matters, which told as effectually what they were, and whom they came from, a3 our Arms of Families at this Day. But then the Methiods of knowing thefe were fo different from ours, according to their Repre- fentation by Budeus, Lipfius, and many others ; and asI have partly hinted, that I think them altogether out of the Verge of Armory, to which Lintend to keep, and of which the faid Bideus, when {peaking of their Relation to the fame End with thofe elder Ceremonies, writes thus, Pro zis, (ut opinor ) pofteriora Tempora Infignia Gentilitia habuerunt, que Arma vulgo vocantur, que ipfa quoq, primum ac fimile ‘eft veri, vi- tutis premia fuerunt, ac rerum praclaré gefta- rum decora. In the Room of thefe, I Suppofe, fucceeding Times ufed thofe diftinguifbing Marks of Families commonly called Arms which, as tis moft probable, were the Rewards of Valour, and the Ornaments of brave Exploits. Therefore I humbly conceive, that Arms can- not be faid to be founded upon Nature, becaufe thofe ancient Bearings were the Signs and Marks of Honour, State, and Condition, to thofe that cartied them; it being doubted whether they were or no, fo much as for the Reafons following, (viz.) Mankind in general being naturally wont, not only to imbellifh and adorn their Shields and other war-like Inftruments, but alfo to feek all Ways and Means of rendring themfelves terrible to their Enemies, did to that End (Hieroglyphicks being invented) paint or imbofs the Figures of Monfters and dreadful Beafts thereupon, intend- ing by the Courage and Strength of thofe Crea- tures, to teprefent the like in themfélves. And thus the Ule of Figures on Shields, Helmets, cc, became common among all Nations, Civil or Bar- barous, But that thefe ancient F igures in procefS of Time did become Arms, as we fay , that is Hereditary Rewards of Merit, and Family Diftin- ctions, I do not deny: But then this was in late Ages (with tefpectto thofe elder Times we have been talking of.) For Princes and Great Com. manders having defcern’d firft the Benefit which thereby accru’d in diftinguifhine the Perfons of fuch as by their Atmour wou’d otherwife have been obfcur’d ; And Secondly, the Refpeét which in general they began to find among their Bearers, who gloried in nothing more than to carry fome witty Emblems, notifying fuch glorious Actions as they had the good Fortune to atchieve, there- by proclaiming their Valour to both Friends and Enemies, {purring on the former to an Imitation, while the latter were daunted by thofe ViGoiies thereby manifefted, making Room for their fur- ther Procedure in Glory. Princes and great Com- manders having, I fay, took notice of thefe Things, did reftrain the frequent Ule undet certain Laws and Punifhments, which induced thofe who were fet apart to deal in Matters of Honour, to devife certain Rules to be obferv’d by fuch as fhou’d law- fully obtain them, in the Bearing them, that no one might injure another by affuming or ufing the Note of his Merit and Honour. So thus ag it were Pedetentim, was Heraldry form’d into, and and became a Science,. a8 I fhall endeavour to make appear with its gradual Progrefs, as clear as my {mall Study is capable, wher I fhall have delivered one Paragraph more, concerning their firft being ufed, which is from Mackenie, Some (faith he*) think that the . Silunesof Hee giving of Arms, arofe fromthe Ex- rsld. p. 2. ample of Facob bleffing his Children, in which , he gave them Marks of Diftinétion, as Fudeh a Lyon, ec. And certain it is (adds he) that the ‘Tribes did bear thefe upon their Enfigns, Others afctibe their Invention to the Germans, and fome to the Romans : Some think the Goths and Van- dals gave the firft Arms, to excite their Soldiers to noble Adions , upon their invading Italy. Others afcribe the Exa@nefS of this Invention to Charles the Great. Aldrovan. 1.1. Others to Henry J. in Anno 986. Hop. cap. 3. But then (adds he) by comparing all thefe Opinions, it is clear that the wearing thefe Marks of Diftin¢tion is, a Fure Gentium, and a Part of the Law of Nations : For even the Barbarous Nations, fuch as the Cimbri, Teutones, &c. were obferv’d by Plutarch, In vita Mari, geffiffe in armis Pitlas ferarum imagines; to have born the Images of Wild Beafts painted upon their Armour. And Hopping afferts, That he hath feen a Shield from China, charged with a Panther in a Field Or; which Shield, I fuppofe, is that de- livered alfo by Bolton from Marcus a sift Velferus, a Learned .and Principal ~°’* *” Gentleman 6 Gentleman of Augspurgh ; who adds too, that a Helmet, Mantle, and Crelt, refembling our Man- ner in Europe, was affix’d thereto ; which is not a little ftrange, fecing America at that Time had no. fuch great Knowledge of thefe Parts of the World, as to imitate our Cuftoms : But be that as it will, certainly (adds Mackenzie) the digefting thefe Cuftoms into an Art, and the fub- jecting them to Rules, muft be afcrib’d to Char- lemaign and Frederick Barbarofja; for they did begin and grow with the Feudal Law, Paul Fou. & Mart. Cruf, Lib. II. Part IL Cap. ult. So that, as a late Editor of this Book remarks, their Opinion is not extravagantly wide, who hold that their Difcipline in the Reign (or rather) du- ring the Imperial Government of Theodofius, and in the Time of Charles the Great, was brought to great Increafe, and withal more generally pro- pagated and difperfed; according to that Saying of Abra. Fra. Carolo Potentiffimo Imperante hac & diftindtins explicata fuilfe, & frequentins ufur- pata elucefcit. Under the Empire of Charles the Great, it is certain, Arms were more dift inctly ex- lained, and more frequently ufed. About the Reign of King Arthur, or a little before, viz. in the Days of Phara- mond, firft King of the Gauls, Anno Paris, lib.138. 4.20. there * began a Diftindtion be- Pa twixt Metals and Colours, fomething after the modern Manner : For the Ancients did only Sketch, or rather Dead-colour thefe excellent Tokens, leaving Pofterity to give thofe Mafter- touches which (according to that Saying, Invenit antiquitas, Pofteri perfecerunt) Time having given them Opportunity to improve Invention , they have perform’d in their more general and orderly Ufe, after a gentilitial Manner, making them ap- propriate to Families, as Teftimonies of their Vir- tues and Loyal Defcent; which Cuftom is faid (and that, as Waterhoufe obferves, very probably too) to have come in Mode at the Irruption of the Saracens and rude Barbarians into Chriftendom ; becaufe againft them did great Numbers of Chri- ftians from all Parts unite themfelves, and in their Expeditions againft them, perform’d many me- morable Atchievments. For as Waterhoufe fur- ther obferves, thofe that were in Command in the Holy Wars, and did ufe Infignia ox Arms on their Banners, Shields, or Surcoats, did upon their Re- turn from that Service, either aflume and take thofe Devices as their Due (for then it was per- mitted to every Manto take what Arms he wou’d, nertholus dete 10 None bare them in his own Nation; feniis aris, Nam ficut nomina funt inventa ad Pats recognofcendum bomines, ita arma & infignia.)

Thus as Religion at Stake is the greateft Spur to true Courage, fo thofe Arms which had been difplay’d in its Defence, became of moft Efteem 3 infomuch, that not only their Affumers did con- tinue the Ufe of them during their Lives, but * Summare Ar- snorial.

Neither did the Refpect ceafe here; forall, even thofe of no Kin, paid them a Reverence as the Enfigns under which their Religion and Liberties had been preferv’d, and valued their Owners as the Prefervers. Hence it is that no one Nation can boaft themfelves the Authors of this commendable Improvement of * Arms, there being prefent at this War many from all Parts of Chriftendom, who by fuch their Ufe of Arms, inftructed their Country- men to do the fame, which Time and ™¥#’s Catal.te- Ufe has improv’d into a cuftomary, Gace wae legal and rightful Appropriation to Leah their Iflues, and to their Defcendants, and to none other ia that Nation, without the deferv’d Cenfure of Ufurpation; for which an Action of Injury lies, and Tryal by Battail was allow’d, yea, fill is, as Waterboufe obferves, in fome Coun- tries. Having in the aforegoing Lines briefly fhew’d the Rife of Arms and Armory in General, it may not be amifs, though I fhou’d further digrefs, to fpeak fomething in particular concerning the An- tiquity of Gentilicial Arms in Britain 5 which I doubt will prove of far later Date than many of our Gentry wou’d willingly be thought to have born them. For if Confideration be had, that for fome hundred Years this Nation was under the Harrafs of War, in the Storm of Foreigners Af- faults, and after troubled with Civil Wars, there will be little Reafon to be over confident in Mat- ters of Pedigree and Arms much beyond 400 Years. This is the Opinion of the Learned Sir Hen. Spelman, who adds too, Nefcio an cf prorfus anti- quitate. For though we might receive the Here- ditary ufe of Arms juft after the Holy War, (as is alfo Mr. Cambden’s Opinion, and what Peter Pitheu afferts of the French) it being in thofe Days accounted, as I have fhew’d, moft honou- rable to carry fuch Arms as had been difplay’d in the Holy Land againft the profefs’d Enemies of Chriftianity ; yet was not the faid Hereditary Ufe eftablifhed or made general, until the Time of K. H. III. for (faith Cambden* ) the laft Earls of Chef/fer, the two Quincyes Karls of Winchefter, the two Lacyes Earls of Lincoln, &c. varied ftill the Son from the Father, as might be particularly prov’d. I do not find any mention in Mackenzie, or elfewhere, at what time this Gentilitial Ufe of Arms began in Scotland to be a general Cuftom. I have feen many ancient Inftances of Coat-armour among them, and cou’d produce as many among us; yet neither inferring a general Hereditary Ufe, I omit them ; not that 1 will fay they did not gain the Start of us in this Particular; becaufe they pretend (and for ought I know, with Ju- ftiée) to be much more particular in ancient De- fcents, as alfo do our Welfh Gentry. But to return. As the Rife of Arms in the prefent Manner in England, is reckon’d to com- mence In Gloff. ad verbs Arma. * Rem. per Philia pot, p. 208, e nny The INTRODUCTION. mence from the aforefaid Time : So Waterhoufe (though. for what Reafon I know not) will needs con- ceiye that the firft Ufers of them were fuch of the Britifh Nobility and Saxon Line, as kept their Honours, Fortunes and Seats, or fome of them in the Changes of Government; they being for- tunate and not frown’d upon by K. Widiam and his Sons, but ‘held their Stations, though his Nor- mans had both the Places in Court and Camp ; and as thefe grew more and more habituated to his Government, and he abated of his Rigour, and became by peaceable ruling more calm; fo they fhew’d themfelves more openly, owning their Rights with greater freedom. But however let that be as it will, it is certain that from thefe, and from the new Lords, fprang moft of the Families of our now ancient Gentry, being Iffues from them, Dependents on them, or preferred by them, yea, dignified with Badges of Truft and Honour, nearly ally’d to thofe Great Mens bearings: So true is that of Gzraldus Cambrenfis, where fpeaking of the Great Men, he fays, Clientes hos fuis quaft armis infiru- &os Armigeros fuos forte vocant, ¢ Militum Feoda cum armis fuis, fuis armigeris dediffe : "Tis likely they call’d their followers Armigeri, or Ef: quires, as being furnifbed with their Arms, toge- ther with which they beftow'd Knights Fees upon them: For by this grateful Bounty of the then Great Men (whofe Brave Spirits took delight in remunerating fuch Servants as were fo faithful as to attend them and theirs with Love and Truft) have the Families of the lefler Nobility in a great Meafure been increafed. There is no one acquainted in this Hiftory, but knows that of Old moft of the great Eftates and Commands in England were in the Hands of fuch Families of the Conqueror, and his Iffue, as they granted them to, who by Tenure, in their Perfons, and with their Tenants, Servants, and Dependents, ‘were tosattend their Sovereigns in their Wars: ‘Thefe Great Men granted Parts of their Tenures to Perfons, either related to them by Match, Ser- vice, or Affection, upon fuch Terms as they themfelves either were obliged to the firft Granter of them, or elfe on other Conditions of Advan- tage to them ; giving them alfo Coat-Armour, which.were ufually Parts of their own, with fuch Differences as beft pleas’d them. Thus among others that bore Arms by this Boun- ty of Lords, ge. or according to Mr. Cambden’s * Expreffion, by borrowing from their Lord’s Arms, were many of the Principal Gen- try of Chefbire, whofe Houfes grew by theaforefaid Means, from the Earls of their County, who had Power to erect Baronies, and other Titles within their Limits ; which they did, and granted them ever to hold as freely of them, as they themfelves held of the Crown. Thefe, I fay, in Similation of the faid Earls Arms, which were Garbs or Wheat-fheaves, did many of them bear a Defence of Arms and Armory,p.60. In, Itiner. Cambr. ¢. Lo. p. 851.

In Cumberland and thereabouts, where the old Baron of Kendal bare Argent, two Barrs Gules, and a Lyon paffant Or, in a Canton of the fecond; many Gentlemen there- about took the fame in different Colours and Charges in the Canton. Vipount, an ancient Ba- ron in We/tmorland, bearing for his Coat fix An- nulets, 3. 2. 1. was imitated by the Mufgraves and Louthers, both eminent Barons Families, who each of them bare fix Annulets 3. 2. 1. aud by many others in and about the faid County.

Thus alfo the ancient Family of Hardrefs in Kent bears Gules, a Lyon rampant Ermine debruis’d by a Cheyron Or, denoting that they held their faid Mannor of Hardre/s by Knight’s Service of the Caftle of Tunbridge in Kent, which was the an- cient Seigniory of the Clares, Earls of Gloucefter, who bare Or, three Chevrons Gules ; with many others ( mention’d by Mr. Cambden, in his Re- mains) of this County of Kent; yea, I know na County, but upon diligent Search, might furnifh us with numerous Inftances of this Kind, efpe- cially fuch of their Gentry as haye receiv’d De- nomination from the Lands they held in Fee or by Tenure. Now touching the granting of Arms from fome great Earls, and pafling of Coats from one private Perfon to another, which alfo wasa Matter fome- times acted before the Reductions of the Heralds under one Regulation, the following Precedents, which I take from Learned Mr. Cambden, may not be impertinent.

The Family of Savage received Grant of arms a Grant of the fame Kind for Mar- hs a 8 garet, Daughter and Heir of Sir Thomas Daniers of Bradley in Appleton, com- monly call’d Daniel, having flue by her fecond Husband John Savage of Clifton Cin her Right) a Son of the fame Name. She granted him and his Heirs the Liberty of Ufing and Bear- ing her Coat of Arms which defcended to her after the Death of her Father, The Arms were, Argent, a Pale fufilé Sable 5 and the Creft an Unicorn’s-Head erafed, Argent; and were both ufed for feveral Years, by vertue of that Grant or Deed, which as Sir Peter Leicefter, p.231. who faw the Original, tells us was written in French, bore Date 3 A.

Another Example of the like Grant of drm: from Nature you have in the Family atone boot: of Booth, from whence the Right Honourable the prefent Earl of Warrington is Defcended ; Their Arms were anciently, a Cheveron engrailed, and a Canton charg’d with a Mullet; as appears by a Charter of Thomas del Booth , bearing Date 43 E. lll.

And thus from the jaforefaid Cuftom of the greater and leffer Nobility, very probably (as 4 Waterboufe obferves) came in the _ Titles of Knight, Efq,; Yeoman, which were at firft Badges of perfonal Service. For though Miles be acknowledg’d as a noble - Dignity, and is generally underftood to import a choice. Perfon, quafi ex millibus Ele&us, the great Orders of Majefty in the World being thofe of Knighthood ; yet anciently was it a Name of Ser- vice, not only in order to Tenure ( the greateft Efftates of England being in Knights Service, to which Upton is thought to have an Kye in thofe Words, Miles eff quafi fervus Rei- : publice: A Soldier is as it were a Servant of the Common-wealth) but alfo in regard of Attendance on the Body of fome Lord, Peer, or great Perfon, on Horfeback 5 who from being his Armour-bearer was ftiled Knight, or in Saxon Cnicht,; of this Sort were Knights Bannerets. Thefe Knights are call’d by Braéfon Radcnichts : Gallants bound by Tenure and Service, to attend their Lords on, Horfeback, as Efquires did on Foot. Hence the Phrafe Efquires of the Body, an Office well known in the. Court, Uspote qui amtiquitus militen a latere infe- quendo, arma ejus ut commilito fi- diffimus, tulerit : Becaufe antient- ly the Efquire marching by the Knight's Side, as a foithful Fellow-Soldier, baré his Arms for him, faith Mr. Mids. _ Therefore Gentlemen, or Efquires, which dif- fer little in Antiquity, are both call’d, Seutiferz Armigeri, and till Edward the aths Time, Lords (if not Knights) were but ftil'd Armigerz, bearers of the Arms of their Chiefs, and by them dignified to bear Arms in their own Right; it being ufual in elder Times for great Men, both of the Clergy and Laity, to give Dignities , not only that of Arms-bedring, but abt oF ennse alfo Knighthood, asis noted by the p. 667,771. learned Selden; though of late it Upton lib. deof- be only reftrain’d by Law to So- mili? 7 veveions and their Deputies; or to Supreams in their refpective Dominions. _ But to proceed; Though it was ufual for great Men, both of the Clergy and Laity, to give Arms and Titles, with Places of Dignity to infe- riour Gentry ; we muft not infer from hence, that all our ancient Gentry, of leffer Nobility, who did acquire Arms at that Time, did gain them by : that Means: No, Mr. Cambdenin- eee. forms us, that in this and the fuc- *** ceeding Ages, at every Expedition, fuch as were Gentlemen of Blood, would repair tothe Earl-Marfhal, and -by his Authority take Coats of Arms, which were regiftred always by Officers of Arms, in the Rolls of Arms, made at every Service, whereof many yet remain (faith my Author) as that of the Seige of Czer laveroc, the Battel of Szerling, the Siege of Calice, and divers Tournaments, At this Time (continues he) there was a diftinétion of Gentlemen of Blood, and Gentlemen of Coat-Armour, aid the Third Pag. 66.

There are divers afferted Occafions, of the Charges or Figures found in Armorial Bear= ings, and of the Pieces which compofe them: Unlook’d for Accidents and Events, the fingula- rity of a County, the inclination to ceitain Exer- cifes and Things, Offices or Employs, Devotion; the Nature and Situation of the Fiefs, or Poffefti- on of the Nobility, a Conformity to the Arms of a Superiour, Adherencé to a Party, Pilgrimages, Tournaments, Defeent and Extraction of Blood, Filiation or the Adoption into other Families, Conceffions of Prices, new Difcoveries and In- ventions, Jefting and the Conformity to the Name 5 are faid to be the principal Caufes: ? : The laft of which is not the leaft Confiderable, For the Names of Perfons and Families is the moft ufual; and if. many Families had not chang’d thofe Names they had at firft, for others, there wou’d be abundance more Arms implying their Bearers Names to the Beholders. For it is but Igtiorancé to fancy fuch allufive Bearings to be al- together novel, when we have reafon to think the Contrary ; the Bearers thereof believing their Names illuftrious enough without their affecting other Devices to notify themfelves. Yea we may averr, that there are not very many Families whofe Names fignify any thing, but originally they have had fome Pieces in their Bearing allud- ing thereto. Wherefore in Difpute when diffe- rent Perfons lay Claim to one and the fame Coat, alate Editor of this Book, rightly conjectures, that he whofe Appellation is agreeable’ therewith, is the moft interefted therein, . But in allufive Arms we muft not expe€ all imaginable Exadtnefs ; for the Naturé of the Thing will not admit of it. It is fufficient to denomi- nate them fuch, when there is fome near Refem- blantce. ; : , Gafparo Bombasct Cap. 9.

Elfred alludes to the Arms of Alvert, becatufe their Names are femblable; Walker and Walter, Clark and Clarkfon, are further Examples. t ' _ So thus grew thé prefent Conformity betwixt Arms and Names: For fince Names given for diftin@ion were conform’d to the Nature of Crea- tures, and the Emergency of Accidents, as is evi- dent in holy and prophane Stories; and asis clear- ly made out by Sigonius amongft the Romans and is in’ all Nations own’d, yea as in our Land the Stories of it appear : So ought and ever was the fame Rule obferv’d in Arms and Bearings of Honour; for it is a Maxim, inger.

Here then is a fit Place to -inftance fome few noted Names with their Occafions, as alfo the Arms of fuch of them as are found referential or ; conformable to the fame. Prince Gamb-Brit. 2229: webu» was a valiant Man, and from his Infancy perceived Cruel; therefore he had that Name, which fignifies an horrible Bear or Iron Mall : Briewre, fo call’d, becaufe born in a Heath, as the Norman Word imports.

So likewife, as is fhewn in King Arthur, did many others receive Names from Beafts ( whofe natural Qualities feem’d to indicate the Difpofition or natural Temper of thofe fo named ) and they not only of the lefler Nobility, and of late Ages, as Cammel, who conformable thereto bare a Ca- mel, Moilea Mule, Urfone a Bear, Bernard a Bear, ¢c. but even of the firft Rank, both in Th INTRODUCTION.

Others may be conceiv’d ‘to take Name from Fifhes, as the Family of Herring, who bare three Herrings; and Lucy who bare three Lucies ; with the Family of Sprat, whofe Arms are three Sprats, ec. Some alfo have taken their Names from Plants or Vegetables ; thus did Sheffeild, whofe Defcendant (iow Duke of Buckingham) from him bears three Wheat- Sheaves, or a Field of Sheaves ; as alfo the Family of Oak, whofe Arms are three Acorns flipp’d, cc. Some alfo from fuch Pofts or Places of Honour as they held: Thus did, znter alias, the Iluftrious Houfe of the Butlers, who in their Arms give three covered Cups : Some from their extraordi- nary Accomplifhments, as their Skill in commen- dable Science and fuch like: Thus among others ° may be fuppofed the Family of Sweeting, whofe Arms are three treble Violins: Others from In- ftruments Military, Civil, and Mechanical; thus did Chambers, who bears three Chambers, 7. e. Cannons or Culvering-pieces ; and Staple, whofe Arms are three Staples 5 with many others too te- dious to infert. All which are referential to the Names to which they belong, though not dire@ly, and with- out fome Confideration, underftood. A Matter which, as I faid before, we are not in Affairs of this Nature to expect. For the reference of Arms even to Names (which is but one of the five al- lufive Ways before mention’d) may be underftood fix Ways, as 1. By fimple Cyphers, or the initial Letters of the Names ; as Thurland, Tofte Bette, Altham; in Germany, Aquin; in Dauphine, Kocks the City Menda in Spain, Bridlington Priory in Com. Ebor. The City of Sumo in Naples, Salucces in Pied- mont, aud others. 2. By natural or artificial Things, which fim- ply exprefs the Name 5 of which Sort are Camell, Herring, Sheffield, Chambers, Sprat and Staple aforementioned ; as alfo Towers, Oufle, Cheverne, Boare, Sole, Salnon, Harrow, Bell, Trevet, and many others too tedious to infert. 3. By Things which come near the Sound ; as Bernard and Cockaine before faid ; alfo Alcock, Keat, Elphyngfton, Tenton, Conesby, Pigot, and others. : 4. By Things which have relation to the Name 3 as Carter, Cartwright, Forfler, Armitage, Archer, and others. 5. By Things which in fome Dialect or Tongue bear reference to the Name; as Urfone, Hugh Lupus, and Arundell (from hirundo, or birun- dellus) aforefaid; alfo Florio, Sneyde, Penarthe, Roet, Clovell, and others. 6. In Th INTRODUCTION. 6. In Form of Rebus or Anigma 5 as Springat, Handcock, Leman, Trowbridge, Morewood, Nadal, Freebody, Dobell, and abundance more. And this Confideration of the conformity of Arms with Names it was, that occafion’d my Au- thor Mr. Guillim to infert, that as it was not law- ful for a Man (but upon great Occafion) to change his Name, Sic neque Arma (faith Caffan ) mutare licet, nifi magna & bonorifica aliqua caufa accefferit : So neither fhould he change bis Arms, except a weighty and honourable Reafon foal in- duce bim to it. And for that, as another faith, A nominibus ad Arma bonum deducitur Argumen- tum: A good Argument of a Man's Arms is drawn from his Name. } Some alfo, and that very many too, as I’m in- form’d by Mr. Cambden, and my own Obfervati- on, and as before was faid, have had Denomina- tion from the Lordfhips they have held; as Draycot, Wilefley, Bifbop- fheir, Malpas, Bermingham, and fuch like others; fome from Wa- ters, as the Lord Stourton from the River Stowre, Wallop from Wel- hope, or (a8 it is now written) Wallop, whofe Coats alfo feem referential to the fame 5 the firft bearing as part of his Arms fix Fountains, the other as his Coat a Bend Wavy ; fo likewife fome have been nam’d from bodily Remarks; as Blunt from their yellow Hair, Fairfax from their fair Buth of Hair: Others from corporal Defeéts, as Crevequer, quafi decrepido corde, of which Mr. Cambden every where in his Britannia makes mention, and to which I cou’d, from my own Ob- fervations, add many more of the like Nature, but I wou'd not clog my Difcourfe with impertinent Allegations; there being, as Waterhoufe hath noted, hardly any Name or Family, but what has, in fome Meafure, participated of this Pre- rogative of Time, to be and bear what the un- avoidable Viciffitudes of Life have produced. Sir George Mackenzie in his Science of Heral- dry, agrees to what I have written on the various Occafions of Arms and their Bearings, and not only becaufe Cambden (whom he quotes) afferts it: For, fays he, thus mioft of the _ Surnames in Annandale, carry the Arms of the Bruce 5 in Murray, fome part of the Murray’s Arms, and in Tevidale the Dowglafs Arms, or fome part thereof, which he terms taking part of their Supetior or Over-lords Arms, He confeffes alfo, that Arms are fométimes de- rived from the Names of the Bearer; as Peacock bears a Peacock, Cockburne a Cock, @c. And thefe (faith he) are call’d Arma cantantia by the Latins ; dywaygine' by the Grecians 5 Des armoi- vies parlantes. by the French , and Rebus or cant- ing Arms by the Englifb. He takes notice alfo, that they are pref{um’d not to be noble Arms when fo elected, becaufe if the Bearer had done any great A@ions, he had had no Occafion to have agreed with his Name : But then this Fancy he immediately rejects ; adding, that the Rule holds not ftill true. Some Men, fays he, « get their Camb. Brit. P. 587, 603, to 609. P, 262. Pag. 5. It Lands as Rewards of great Ads, and Surnames came’not in the Mode with us, till the Reign of Malcolm Canmor, who gave Surnames to all his Nobles, and then many took theit Surnames from their Lands they poffeft, as the Cockburns and others, and fuited their Armis to their Names, to the end it might be known that they were Heri- tors of fuch Places. For which Caufe likewife we find, that Chiefs of Families are otdinarily of that IIk, that is (faith he) to fay with us, that their Names and Lands are the fame. Some alfo (adds he) derive their Names as well as Arms from fome confiderable AGion ; and thus a fecond Son of Struan Robertfon, for killing of a Wolf in Stocket Forreft by a Durk in the King’s Pre- fence, got the Name of Skein, which fignifies a Durk in Jri/h, and three Durk Points in Pale for his Arms. Some likewife (adds he) got Names from their Arms: For being Strangers, the Peo- ple amongft whom they came, not knowing their Names, gave them Names from the Symbols or Arms they did bare. Thus the Fowlis were call’d from the Leaves they carried: Monfieur Des Feules, and the Herrifes or Herrifons, with us, got their Names from the Porcupine, or Her- vifon in French, which was their Arms, as Bro- thers of the Houfe of Vendofm : And Hiftorians obferve, that the French were call’d Galli, ex eo quod gallos in conis galea, féu pro Criftis gerebants And therefore Limneus, cap. 6. num. 1. concludes, That Omnia arma que cantant, non funt infignia illiberalia, five vilium bominum : All Arms agreeing with the Name of the Bearer, are not ignoble. He reminds us alfo, that Places and honourable Em- ploys, have given Birth to Bearings in Scotlend as well as with us. Thus, faith he, the Earl of Southesk’s Ptedeceffors did bear a Cup in an Efcutcheon upon the Eagles Breaft, to thew that his Predeceflors were Cup-bearers to the King , Rege olim a Pateris, ut pralibaret Ge auro, ifta notis certis perbibent infignid gentis. And Wood of Largo two Ships, to fhew that his Predeceffors were Admirals. Thus Burnet carries a Hinting-horn in his Sheild, and a High- lander in a hunting Garb, and Greyhounds for his Supporters, to fhew that he was his Majefty’s Forrefter in that Northern Forreft, as Forrefter of that Ilk is in the South : For which he alfo car= ries three Hunting-horns. The Earl of Holderne/s, Ramfay, catried a Sword Paleways, to thew that he and his Succeffors had Right to carry the Sword of State, the Day of Gowrie’s Confpiracy, as 4 Reward for killing Gowrie. ( : _ Arms, faith Mackenzie, ate ordinarily aflum’d by Kingdoms, and Towns, either to reprefent what they moft glory in, or moft abound in; as the Kingdom of Granade, a Pomegranate. The Earl of Buchan three Garbs, becaufe Buchan was more fertile in Corn than other Parts of Scotland, which werethen full of Woods, Sometimes they affume Arins from their Situation, @¢. of which he gives Examples in Pag. 5. After. which he concludes thus: I have feen (fays he) the Book of Arms in moft Nations, and I have in general Bo obferved, 12 obferved, that every Nation hath fhew’d their Humour. For the Arms of moft Families in Spain are given to fignify fome Undertaking for the Chriftian Religion againft its Enemies the Moors, Turks, or other Hereticks; and their Shields of late arefill’d with Ave Maria’s, I. H.S. and fuch other devout Charaéters. “The Arms of the Italians are ordinarily Emblems and witty Hieroglyphicks. The German Atchievements confift of Multitudes of Coats, marfhall’d in one, to gratify the Humour of their Country ; who are vain of nothing fo much as their Pedigrees. Thofe of Poland and Denmark are as wild and monftrous, as the People who bear them. But the French who are great Artifts where-ever they fludy, do fuffer their natural volagenefs to be confined and fixed by Rules of Art. And the Scots to exprefs their Friendfhip to the French, have of old imitated them in their Heraldry, as much as we do the Engli/h fince we were happily united with them under one Monarchy. The Turks (faith he) take oftentimes Letters of the Alphabet as a Cognizance, becaufe their Religion difcharges them to ufe Images; and it is obfervable that the Spaniards ufe oftentimes Let- ters, in imitation of the Turkifh Moors (their Neighbours.) Or elfe thefe have been left with them ever fince the Moors pofleft their Country, or elfe (as I may add) they are born in Honour of fuch Anceftors as had vanquifhed the prior Owners thereof. I am not ignorant of the wonderful Events and Accidents to which fome afcribe the Caufes of fome particular Bearings; but omit them as too often written already. ‘Though thus far I think iny felf oblig’d to fay concerning their Authority, that I take them to be, fome, a parcel of Fables defign’d by Monks or fuch like, to raife the San- Gity of fundry Grandees, or the Inclinations and Approbations of Men, to fome particular Enter- prifes, &c. by impofing on the implicit’ Creduli- ty of their Readers: Others, Fictions from Ro- mances made upon Tournaments, @e. wherein Things were reprefented for Diverfion only 5 as _ inchanted Caftles, Giants, and the like ; which late Ages (I will not, as fome, fay Heralds work- ing upon) were careful to invent for the Arms of Knights, whofe Anceftors had been in Tourna- ments, @c. of which I have feen Golut the French Herald tax’d for his relation of the Original of the Arms of Grammont. What comical Origines have you in Cambden’s Remains, and other Places > As in particular that of Lorein’s Coat, which no Hiftorian of the Time makes mention of, and which, if true, is fo re- markable, as it cou’d never have efcaped them, as I believe you'll grant : The Story is this, There being three Allerions on David's Tower in Feru- falem, a certain Prophetick Perfon told Godfrey of Bulloigne, the famous General in thofe Wars, that if he cou’d at one Shoot kill them, he fhou’d take the City which he thereupon attempted, and accordingly perform’d, and for that Reafon ever after bore three Allerions on a Bend. Th INTRODUCTIO Now whether you will believe this, or give better Credit to what an ingenious Gentleman of my Ac- quaintance thinks was the whole Myftery, viz. Alerion being an Anagram to Loraine, I know not. And much fuch another Story was that of Vere’s Shooting-Star, which I fuppofe was only a diftintion from the Arms of the Lord Say’s Fami- ly (a flourithing Houfe at that Time, and in the fame Service) which excepting that Star, did bear the fame Coat: And as I told you, two dif- ferent Families in one Nation could not bear one Coat. The Names of Families alfo have contributed very much to thefe Fables. It is written that the Padilla’sin Spain, bare for their Arms a Peal of an Oven, which in Spanifb is called Padilla, be- caufe a Knight of their Family defended a Caftle witha Peal, againft the Moors who Befieged it. Vargas laughs at this Original, and fays, aftet Argote de Molina, that we need not feek any other Myftery than the Conformity of the Name, for which he gives us an excellent Reafon, viz. That the firft Arms of Spain being only thofe of Ca- file and Leon, which were allufive Bearings, moft of their Nobility in imitation of their Prince, made their Arms allufive; and after that Time fince, other later Families. compos’d their Arms out of their famous Actions, during the faid Wars with the Moors, where they often received them from their Sovereign as the Rewards of their Prowefs: Thefe more ancient Families, feeing they had not {uch honourable Reafons for their Bearings, began to frame Romances and Fictions, to the End their Arms might not appear lef con- fiderable than thofe which were known to be the remunerations of Valour. If we were now to confider what Profit or Ad- vantage has enfued by thefe Impofitions, either to thofe Arms or Armory in general, I doubt we fhould find none; but on the contrary, a great deal of Hurt, efpecially to the latter ; fuch Sto- ries being what hath much leflen’d the Eftimati- on of Arms in many Mens Opinion : For Men of Senfe will not fuffer their Paffions to be moved in favour of any thing, before their Judgments are convine’d of, if not the reality, yet the rea- fonablenefs of it; which is what every one ought firft to aim at, if they.defign to enforce a Re- {pect to the PraGtice of this or any other'commen- dable Cuftom. Cambden among his accidental Alterations of Arms in the Holy Land, remarks, that the Lord Barkeley’s, who. firft bare Gules a Cheveron Ar- gent, after one of them had taken upon him the Crofs (for that wasthen the Phrafe) to ferve in thofe Wars, inferted ten Croffes patee in his Shield, which are continued by his. Defcendants tothis very Day. Yea, I could inftance, befides, Beauchamp Earl of Warwick (who alfo added to his Arms, which before his Expedition to the Holy Land, were Gules a Fefs, Or fix Crofs-croflets of the fame) many more, but think them need- lefs, becaufe every one acquainted with Hiftory, knows the great Efteem in which thofe Services were Th INTRODUCTION. were held, being in Defence of the Chriftian Re- ligion, of which fuch Bearings were the moft propet Emblems, and excellent Marks of Diftin- Gion, fromthe Infidels their Enemies. And at this Port of Crufades and Pilgrimages, moft pro- bably came in Ufe thenumerous Forms of Crofles, which we find among the Arms of our ancient Nobility and Gentry. Nicholas Upton has fet down thirty, yet cannot promife them to be all.

Mackenzie inftances other Bear- ings befides thefe, occafion’d by Croifades; for, fays he, the Prin- gles and others bare Efcallops, to thew their de- - vout Pilgrimages : Of which thefe Shells were the Badges, and for which they were firft call’d Pilgrims, and thereafter by corruption Pringle. Science of Heral. p.2. For a like Reafon, adds he, doth the Family of Douglafs carry an Heart, in remembrance of their Pilgrimage to the Holy Land, with King Robert the Bruce’s Heart, which was to be, and ts buried there, at the f{pecial Command of that pious Prince, about Anno 1328. Befides all afore- faid, Mr. Nisbet . and Mackenzie tell us, that both Bezants and Martlets found their firft ufe there ; and probably by the Wars with France and the Turks, were introduced great Numbers of Fleurs de Lys, Crefcents and Letters, I thall give but one late Inftance, which was Sir Cloudfly Shovel, who had granted to him a Cheveron be- tween two Fleurs de Lys in chief, anda Crefcent in bafe, indicating two great Vi&ories over the French, and one over the Turks. ¢ The principal End for which thefe Signs were * firft taken up and put in Ufe, was, that they * might ferve for Notes and Marks to difting uifh * Tribes, Families, and particular Perfons each * from other ; but this was not their only Ufe, * for that they ferved alfo to notify to the inge- nious Beholder of them (after fome Sort) the natural Quality and Difpofition of their Bear- ers; and fo behooveful was this Invention thought to be, and their Ufe fo reafonable, as that they have been entertain’d of all fucceed- ing Pofterities, among all Nations, and continu- ed (even to this Day) without any Immutation or Alteration of their primary Inftitution. © Thefe Armorial Enfigns thus ingenioufly de- vifed, had a further Ufe; for they ferv’d alfo for the more commodious diftribution of Nati- ons, Tribes, and Families, into Regiments and * Bands : Asalfo for affembling, conduéting, and “ governing them in Martial Expedition, and di- ‘ tinguifhing (as TI have thew’d) of particular n Co or ey rer’ i 13 * Perfons in Wars, as well amoneft them. ‘elves as © from their Enemies ; becaufe it often falleth out * by reafon of the likenefs of Armour and \Wea- “ pons, of Difcipline of War, and of Language and Voice (in default of fuch Signs) that. much Treachery is wrought, and many. Men after Battel or Skirmith, do make their Retreat to the Troops of the Enemy, to the Danger. of their Surprife, or Lofs of Life: So. then it. is clear, that this is one Ufe of thefe Notes, or Marks of Diftin@ion called Arms 5; that if a Man fhall meet or encounter us, we, do forth- with difcover by the Note or Mark that he beareth, whether he be Friend or Enemy: And for fome of thefe Ufes and Ends which. I have formerly fhewed, thefe Armorial Enfigns -have received Approbation in the hizheft Degree, even from the Mouth of God himfelf,. who, when he prefcribed unto Mofes and Aaron a Form of ordering and conduéting the Ifraelites in their Paflage towards the Land of Promife, did exprefly Command the Ufe of Armorial Signs, faying, Filiz Ifraelis quifque juxta Ver- illum fuum cum Signis fecundum domum Majo- rum fuorum Caftra habento : Every Man of the Children of Urael fhall pitch by his own Stana- ard, with the Enfign of their Fatbers Houfe, Num. it. 2. Which Order he required to be obferved,, not only in the Conduction of them in their Journey, but alfo in the pitching and raifing of their Camp. i « In which Precept we may obferve, that God maketh mention of two Sorts of Enfigns;. the one General, the other Particular; and that thefe Latter were no Jefs needful than the For- mer, for the. orderly governing and condua- ing of fo huge and populous a Multitude as the Tfraelites were, ina Journey fo long, and with- al fubject to infinite Dangers. The firft Sort of thefe Enfigns, God calleth Vewilla, that is to fay, Standards or Banners, which ferved for the Conduction of their feveral Regiments; for the Tfraclites confilted of twelve Tribes, which were divided into four Regiments, that is to wit, three Tribes to each Regiment, of which every. one had a particular Standard, which as they differed in Colour one from another, fo did they doubtlefs comprehend in them feveral and diftint Forms, Et erant in illis vexillis pidlura notificantes Tribus que erant fub ills vexillis : And there were in thofe Standards Pi- Gures, denoting the Tribes which belonged to them. So Toftatus, ‘ Here may arife a twofold Queftion, concern- ing thefe Standards before mentioned: The one, what Colour each of them were of: The other, what Forms and Shapes were depiGed on them. As to the Colour, Lyra uponthe fecond of Num- bers faith, Qualia funt ifta Vexilla in textu non babetur, fed dicunt aliqui Hebrai, quod Vexillum cujuflibet tribus, erat fimile colori la- pidis pofiti in vationali, in quo inferiptum erat nomen ipfius Reuben, & fic de aliis : What fore of Standards thefe were, the Text doth not ex- « prefs; Ce BIEN EN Ga 0 alin oc inienign niin, hteh Seminthnes aw ae le Peso Mn latin tina ini na, - 14 exprefs, but fome of the fame ‘colour with the Stones on Aarons Breaft-plate, wherein the Name of every Tribe was written. And as to their feveral Forms, Martinus Bor- baus in his Commentary upon the’ fame Place, hath this Saying, Tradunt veteres in Reubenis vexillo mandragoram depittam fuilfe, quam ille in agro collectam matri Lia attulerat : in Febuda leonem, cui ium benedicendo pater ‘Facobus con- tulerat : In Epbraim vexillo, bovis {pecies : In Danis vexillo, ferpentis Imago, qui ferpenti & colubro 4 Facobo comparatus erat, Fiat Dan coluber in via, And in Conclufion he faith, Sit fides penes Authores. Ancient Authors tell us, that Reuben’s Standard bare the Mandrake which be gathered inthe Field, and brought to bis Mother Leah : Judah’s the Lion, Dan’s the Serpent, to which their Father Jacob bad compared them Ephra- im’s an Ox, &c. R. Abraham Aben Exra, though Defence of 4ems he will have their Banners charg’d and Army P- 42 Sie) Tnfignitions of DiftinGion ; yet. (as Waterhoufe relates of him) the Figures on them muft needs be thofe Four in Exec. ro. An Eagle, a Lion, a Bull, and a Man ; but that Conceit Toftatus rejects, and adds a good Reafon, Revelatio ila de quatuor animalibus nondum fuit fata, fuit enim fata poftea per milta tempora, cum Propheta effet apud fluvium Chebar. The Revelation of thofe four Beafts was not yet made, but along Time after, when the Prophet was by the River Chebar. ¢ This fort of Enfign according to Calepine, is called Vextlum, quafi parvum velum, & ac- cipitur (faith he) pro figno quo in exercitu vel claffe imperatores utuntur. Vexillum és @ Di- minutive of Velum, and fignifies the Colours which Generals ufe at Land or Sea. ‘The ufe of thefe Standards doth confift herein, that they being born aloft upon a long Pole or Staff, apparent to every Man’s View, the Soldiers may be thereby direéted (upon all Occafions of Service) and by the Sight of them may be dif fevered and united at all times, as the Neceffity of the Service fhall require. Of this ufe, Lyra upon the Second of Numbers, faith, Vexilla in perticis elevantur, ut ad eorum afpetium bel- latores dividantur @ uniantur : Theje Colours are mounted upon Poles, that the Soldiers fee- ing them, may feparate or joyn, as there fhall be Occafion: For, like asa Ship is guided in the furging Seas by the Stern or Ruther, even ¢ fo ate the Soldiers ordered in their Martial Ex- ¢ ploits by their Standard or Enfign. ¢ The other forts of Enfigns God calleth Signa © fecundum domum majorum fuorum, whereby js meant (if I be not deceiv’d) the particular © Enfigns or Tokens of Each particular Family ; © for fo do I underftand that Expofition of Lyra upon the fame Place; Signa propria funt in © veftibus Ge feutis, quibus bellatores miutuo fe © cognofcunt, & fugs ab adverfariis diflinguunt. ©Thefe Enfigns are wrought in Garments and anaannnnaehetaekrnananananna Fe SCE NERO SCE SIS LORS SEES DN SSS ORES INOS Th INTRODUCTION. of the Rabbins fay, they were |‘ Shields, by which the Soldiers know one another, « and diftinguifh their own Party from the Enemy. ¢ And of this Opinion is * Lorinus, * In Locum. « But here we fhou’d put a Difference be- * tween thefe Words Arma c Infignia, and “ feparate thofe Things that are proper to Arms, « from fuch as pertain to Enfigns. “ Arms therefore being taken in the largeft “ Senfe, may be faid to be either Publick or s¢ Private, “ Such are faid to be Publick Arms, which “ have fome Sovereign Authority or Jurifdiétion “ annexed to them. r “ Of the Firft fort are fuch Arms as are born “ by Emperors, Kings, and abfolute Princes, « and Free Eftates, having Sovereign Authority “« and Power within their feveral Empires, King- “ doms and Territories : Thefe in propriety of “ Speech cannot be aptly faid to be the Arms “ of their Stock ot Family, whereof they are “ Defcended ; but do rather reprefent the Nature of Enfigns, than of Arms, in regard of the “ Publick Authority to them annexed ; as alfo “ in refpe& that whofoever fhall fucceed them “ in thofe Supream Governments, fhall bear the « fame Arms, as the exprefs Notes and Tefti- « monies of fuch their feveral Jurifdictions, “ though they be extracted from Aliens or Fo- « reign Families; for fo neither is the Eagle the « peculiar Coat of the Honfe of Aufiria, nor « Lyons of the Family of Plantagenet, nor the “« Fleurs de Lys of the Houfe of Valois, but « born as the Sovereign Enfigns of fuch an Km- “ pire or Kingdom. And thefe Arms or Enfigns « may no Man elfe bear, or yet mark his Goods « withal, unlefs it be that in token of Loyalty, “ he will fet up the King’s Arms in his Houfe, «and place his own Arms underneath. There « are alfo certain Enfigns of Dignity and Office, « which every Man having the fame Dignity or “ Office, may lawfully bear, as the Enfigns of « aProconful, or a Bifhop; and thefe are peculiar « to thofe only that have the Exercifing of fuch « Dignity or Office ; for if any other fhall ufurp « the bearing or ufe of them, he becometh Cri- « minal for fo doing. Private Arms are fuch as “ are proper to private Houfes and Perfons, whe- « ther they be numbered in rank of the greater « Nobility, as Dukes, Marqueffes, Earls, Vif- “ counts and Barons, having no Sovereign or « Abfolute Power; or of the leffer Nobility or « Gentry, Knights, Efquires and Gentlemen; “ neither yet are they Enfigns of any ordinary « Dignity, but peculiar to their Family, and « may be infinitely transferred with proper Diffe- « rences to their Pofterity lawfully begotten. The Reafons which that learned Scorch Author, Sir George Mackenzy gives for the Invention of this Art, are cer- tainly good; being Firft, the great Defign that Men had to perpetuate their own great Adtions. Secondly, The defire that Gover- nours had to encourage others to great Things, by rewarding with a cheap kind of gas what Science of Heral= dry, P. 2 The what their deferving Subjects did. Thus, faith he, K. Robert the Bruce, gave the Houle of Win- toun a falling Crown fupported by a Sword; to fhew, that the Seatons had fupported the Crown when it was in a diftreffed Condition : Which Seaton of Barns yet bears, becaufe he got the Land-which was difpon’d by Adoption with the Arms: And to Veitch, a Bullock’s Head, to re- member Pofterity, that the Bearer had aflifted that King with Aliment in bringing fome Bul- locks in his great Diftrefs. The Third and following Reafons are in effed the fame, which I have Jately mention’d as their prin. cipal End. And to this agrees Mr. Guillim: For, fays he, © After long Tra@ of Time, thefe Tokens, * which we call Arms, became Remunerations * for Service, and were beftowed by Empe- * rors, Kings, and Princes, and their Generals © and chief Commanders in the Field, upon * Martial Men, whofe valorous Merits, even in © Juftice, required due Recompence of Honour, © anfwerable unto their worthy Ads, the Re- * membrance whereof could not better be pre- * ferv’d and deriv’d unto Pofterity, than by © ‘thefe Kinds of honourable Rewards. For though Arms, in their firft Acceptation, were (as is fhewed) taken up at any Gentleman’s Pleafure, yet hath that Liberty for many Ages been deny’d; and they, by Regal Authority, made the Rewards and Enfigns of Merit, or the sracious Favours of Princes; no one being by the Law of Gentility in England allowed the bearing thereof, but thofe that either have them by Defcent, or Grant, or Purchafe from the Bo- dy or Badge of any Prifoner they in open and lawful War had taken. Therefore H. V. by Pro- _ clamation did inhibit, * Quod nul- * Ann, Regni 3 Memb. 15. dorfo Us cujufeunque flatus, pradus feu in Archiyis Tu- Conditionis fuerit, bujufmodi arma ra five tunicas Armorum in Je fumat, nifi ipfe jure antecefforio vel ex donatione ali- cujus ad hoc fufficientem poteftatem babentis, ea poffideat aut poffidere debeat, & quod ipfe arma five Tunicas illas ex cujus dono obtinet, demon- firationis [ux perfonis adhoc per nos affignatis feu affignandis manifefte demonfiret, exceptis il- lis qui nobifcum apud Bellum de Agen-court Ar- ma portabant, &c.

They were the Re- wards of true Valour, INTRODUCTION. 1s Yet fome Lawyers (though vers’d in Heral- dry) as * Mackenzie obferves, have been of Opinion, that every Man can affume Arms to himfelf at his Pleafure without Authority, provided he aflume them not (as the Civilians fay) in émudationent alterius, to the Prejudice of another: And of this Judgment were Bartol. trad. de Arm. num. 5. and Panorm. c. dileétis, de excef.

But Tiraguel and others, have very juftly maintained, that none can aflume Arms, but that all muft owe them to Authori- ty: For as Magiftrates of old only beftowed jus Imaginum, ita hodie tantum illi jus infignium vet armorum conferre poffunt : Ann.

The Right of I- mages, fo they only at this Day can beflow thé Right of Arms or Enfigns. For Arms are Badges and Symbols of Dignity , and no Man can arro- gate a Dignity to himfelf, without the Prince’s Leave. And though there be no written Law which forbids this, yet laudable Cuftom, and the common Confent of Nations forbid it. But to quiet all Debate in this Controverfy, moft Nations have difcharged the carrying of Arms to any, fave Gentlemen, or fuch who have a Special Warrant: Which, faith my faid Author, is alfo done in Scotland by the 127.

From which A@ Mackenzie draws thefe Con- clufions. 1. That only Gentlemen by Blood can carry Arms; which Opinion is alfo received now into the Law of Nations, Hopping, cap. 6. Par, X. But it was firft enacted by Frederick the Emperor, Lid. 2. feud. tit. 27. De pace te- nenda, adly, That the Lion cannot give Arms to fuch as are not Noble by Defcent : For the Rea- fon inductive of this Statute, is, That there may be a Difference betwixt fuch as are Noble, and fuch as are not ; but there would be none, if it were lawful to the Lion to give Arms even to fuch as are not Gentlemen by Birth. For as he cannot Nobilitate, fo neither can he beltow the Marks of Nobility. Likeas by that A&@ he is commanded, to inhibit all fuch as are not No- ble, to carry Arms: But yet the Prince may till beftow Arms, without any Reftriction, tho’ he cannot properly make a Gentleman ; for that comes by Blood, and not by Patent. For of old, there was a Diftin@ion betwixt a Gentleman of Blood, and a Gentleman of Coat-Armour ; which Diftin@ion I have fhew’d you already out of Camden. And albeit, faith Macken- xie, the Letter of that Law doth only forbid to. wear and ufe Arms without Authority, upon Infight, or Houfhold- gear, yet per paritatem rationis, they cannot ufe them upon Tombs, Seats in the Church, or elfewhere 5 @ de praxi, the Lion with us doth raze and deface all fuch Arms: But whether the Ufers of falfe Arms do incur the Penalties in fuch Cafes, may be doubted, feeing Pana funt reftringenda, and are not to be extended beyond the Letter of the Law. 3dly, By that A@, The Lion is to diftinguifh and difcern Arms with congruent Differences ; from which Words it may be inferred, that not only Arms muft be originally given by the Lion, but that Marks and Differences amongft the Ca- dets, and Defcendants of the fame Family, fhould be given by the Lion’ and that thefe Cadets cannot affume them. And this is (faith my Au- thor) fuitable to the Opinion of the Doétors, who teach, that non folum poteftas conferendi nova infignia, fed poteftas augendi, mutandi, diminuend: G confirmandi infignia Vetera, eff Penes Principem & ejus Heraldos. Hopping, c. 8. membro 5. Not only the Power of giving new Arms, but the Power of enlarging, altering, lef: fening and confirming the Old ones, is in the Pag, 12, Prince and his Heralds. But it may be doubted, | if Prefcription of Arms by Predeceffors, be not {ufficient to infer a Right to the Bearing of Arms, and to defend againft the Penalties of this A@; as to which Points, the Doétors deliver thefe Conclufions. 1, That no Man can prefcribe the Right of ufing Arms belonging to another Noble Family, without immemorial Pofleffion ;. but that they may prefcribe a Right to bear indefinitely, or to bear the Arms of any other private Perfon, per Spatium decem annorum inter prafentes, & vi- &intt annorum inter abfentes, vult. confil. 17. volum 3. For the Space of Ten Years betwixt Perfons prefent, and of Twenty betwixt Perfons abfent, But (faith Mackenzie) by our Law, where Prefcription is not allow’d, except in the Cafes wherein it is introduced by a fpecial and exprefs Statute, it is probable, that Prefcription might well have defended before that A@, Fac. VI. But fince that Time it fhould not, fee- ing that AG ordains all Arms to be matriculate in the Lion’s Books and Regifters, The Penalty appointed by this Scots A@ on Offenders is, That the Moveables and Furniture whereon thefe falfe Arms are painted, or en- graven, fhall be confifcated: Which Words muft (faith Mackenzie) be taken disjunctively, and not copulatively, notwithftanding of the Particle (and) ; for if the Arms be either en- graven or painted, they are to be efcheated: as alfo the Criminals are to pay One Hundred Pounds to the Lion and his Brethren-Heralds. But, by the Civil Law, He who bears and ufes another Man’s Arms, to his Prejudice, vel in jus fcandalum & ignominiam, or to bis Reproach, is to be punifhed arbitrarily, at the Difcretion of the Judge, . eorum f: de falfo; But he who ufurps his Prince’s Arms, lofes his Head, and his Goods are confifcated, 1. Sacri afflatus, C, de diverf. vefeript. Suitable to which, the Duke of Norfolk was executed by H, VIII. for no other Crime, faith Mackenzie, than bearing the Arms of England, though his Predeceflors had born them an Hun- dred Years, But Camden faith, That among o- ther Matters, he was attainted- for that alfo. Rem. p. 164. Now though in England, by the Proclama- tion of Henry Vth, aforefaid, ’tis inhibited that none fhould prefume to take upon him Arms, unlefs entituled thereto by Defcent, or a Grant from fuch as were’ fufficiently empowered to Grant by his Sovereign, excepting fuch as bore Arms at the War or Battle of Agencourt, By which it is plain, the voluntary Affumption of Arms is deny’d by the Kings of England, as well as held illegal by Tiraguel and other Civilians, whofe Opinion I mention’d before. Yet Preferi- tion of Arms by Predeceffors is not hereby for- bidden, but rather allow’d; the Words being nifi jure antecefforio, not unlefs he have them by Defcent from fuch as had them by Grant, or had left fomething elfe to prove their Right from The from his Anceftors ; For almoft every one knows, that at the Holy War, Gentlemen were either allow'd to chufe a Bearing for themfelves, fo it were different from others, or had but a verbal Authority at moft from their Prince, or his Chieftains, to bear fuch or fuch Arms; and that in after Days, when Arms became hereditary, and Heraldry a Science, that even then, by the eftablith’d Law of Arms in all Nations, thofe ancient Affumptions were allow’d the lawful Arms of the Ifues of thofe who affum’d them, And though other Nations, as Mackenzie {ays of the Scots, may have later Statutes or Laws to invalidate this Method of proving Right; yet I do not any where find that England has, Nor (as I conceive) is this Matter contrary to the Civil Law, which only makes an Affumption of Arms criminal ; becaufe Dignity, of which Arms are the Notes, is alfo affum’d therewith, where- by the Affumer breaks in upon the Prerogative of his Sovereign, who (as the Fons Honoris from whom all Honours fhould fpring) can alone no- bilitate. For the Arms thus difputed might pof- fibly be taken before Arms were made the Jn- Signia Nobilitatis in England, which then could be no Encroachinent on the aforefaid Prerogative, and fo confequently no Breach of a Law unmade; but, on the contrary, allow’d amongft the reft. Befides, a Coat might, with refpet to thisLaw, have been legally ufed, and the Authority loft, through Time, more efpecially when Accounts were fo indifferently taken, with refpec to thofe taken in later Days, and many of thofe, though fo indifferent, loft. © How great the Dignity and Eftimation of © Arms evet hath been, and yet is, we may ea- * fily conceive by this, that as they do delight © the Beholders, and greatly grace and beautify © Places wherein they are erected ; fo alfo they © do occafion their Spectators to make fetious © Inquifition, whofe they are, who: is the © Owner of the Houfe wherein they are fet up, © of what Family their Bearer is defcended, and ¢ who were his next, and who his remote Pa- S rents or Anceftors. Lhe Eftimation of Arms may alfo be confi- dered in this : As Honours in their Donation are generally attended with Effates {uitable thereto, which are given to fupport the fame, if there was not a Sufficiency before; and thofe Eftates with thefe Honours being fettled by an Hntail on the Heirs Male, fo Arms enabled thofe Heirs to hold and continue in the fame. For, by the Practice and Ufe of Arms, Gentry are inftructed to keep often entering of their Pedigrees and De- {cents in the Heralds-Office; by which means, Cognifance is taken of what Houfe Gentlemen are, whether legitimate or illegitimate, and of what Branch of that Houfe; as how near ally’d to the main Honour and Eiftate, in cafe fuch a Queftion fhould be needful, as it very often hap- INTRODUCTION. 17 pens. But how great the Benefit or timation of Arms, or how great the Satisfaction of Gen- try in this their Ufe is, I fhall leave to be de- fin’d by fuch of our Nobility and Gentry, who from being the [flues of younger Sons, are there- by become entituled to the Honours, Fortunes, and Eftates of the once elder Houfe, We may alfo find in what Efteem Arms were by this: ‘ There is, faith Mr. Guillim, between ‘ thefe Arms and their Bearers, a kind of Sym-~ ‘ pathy, or natural Participation of Qualities, * infomuch as whofo difhonourably or irreve- ‘ rently ufeth the Arms of any Man, feemeth to have offered Indignity to the Perfon of their : Bearer, fo as (according to fome Authors) their © Owner fhall right himfelf againft fuch an Of- ‘ fender or Wrong-doer, AGione Injuriarum, by an ‘ Aion of Trefpafs.’ And Tryal by Battel was allow’d, of which we have Inftances among an- cient Writers. Yea, fo heinous has this Offence been held, that the injured have fought Revenge even on Majefty itfelf, as too well teftify’d the Imprifonment of King Richard I. together with an hundred thoufand Pounds, which was paid as his Ranfom, he being made Captive by the Duke of Auftria or Auffrich; for that (as was reported) he ordered the Banner of the faid Duke to be ftricken down (whereby it was trod on) to give Place for his own on the Wall at the Holy Land, into which the Duke firft wrought his Paffage. I could here, fince I have touched upon an Abufe to Armory, give fundry other Ways wherein thefe Tokens are abufed by our Moderns’; but for their Numbers rather refer you to Camden’s Remains, and Wyrley’s Ancient Ufage of Arms for fome, and to your own Ob- fervation for the reft; which, befides the pre- fent horrid Mifmanagement of Funerals, by Pain- ters, Undertakers, ec. are far too numerous to find Room in this Introduction. “Arms may be.farther confidered ufefalj: from the following Lines. Firf? then, They often thew from what Coun- try, or Perfon, their Bearers did : defcend, and therefore (as Mac- Sdene of Heral- kenxie doth well obferve) they ors are call’d Tefera Gentilitie. ‘Thus the Max- wels and Ramfays (lays Mackenzie) bear the Eagle, to thew their Defcent from Germany: The Ruthwens the Arms of Portugal, from which King they are faid to be defcended: And the Name of Marjoribank bear.the Cufhion, to thew that they were Fobnffowns originally. Thus the Weems and Fyfe, are known to be Cadets of Mackduff , and the Colgukouns and M: Farlans, Cadets of the Family of Lennom; and thefe (faith Mackenzie) are furer Marks of Confan- ¢ guinity than the Surname, as may be known by many Inftances; and among others, the Shaws in the North are known to be Af Intofbes by their Arms, : Secondly, They thew us the Alliance’ of their Bearets to other Families by the Heire(3 from C2 whom 18 The INTRODUCTION. whom they defcend, whofe Arms are quar- tered by the Defcendants; and by this Means the Memory of great Families, and even of Clans and Surnames in Scotland, faith Macken- sie, is only preferved. Thus Scotland (adds he) by bearing a double Treflure Flory Coun- ter Flory, is remembred of their League be- twixt France and them in the Reigns of Achaius and Charlemaign , and thus there are no Monu- ments (as he afferts of the. Scots, by Inftances, p- 3.) to preferve the Memory of many ancient and worthy Families in England, but the quar- tering their Arms by their Succeffors. Thirdly, Thefe Arms let us know, if the Bearers aré Noblemen or Gentlemen, and what their Dignity is ; that appearing by their Hel- mets, Coronets, cc. Fourthly, The Shield, and oftentimes the Sig- net, made the Bearers who were killed in the Crowd to be known, that they might be ho- nourably buried. Fifthly, They being appended inform us of the true Surnames of the Granters, which are be- come illegible ; and thus, by the Seals, I have (faith Mackenzie) found fome Charters to be granted by Menzies of Weems, when we could hardly read the Name; and I have been (adds he) in Proceffes, wherein Charters were alleged to be falfe and forged, becaufe the Granter’s true Arms and Seal were not appended. For the Scots were very punctual in fealing with their Arms, being enjoin’d by Law and Statutes in that Particular. Sixtbly, By thefe Arms we are inftruéted of the right Originations and Writings of Surnames And thus we know (fays Mackenzie) the Name of Tarbet to be wrong written, and thatit fhould be written Turbet, fecing they have three Tur- bets fretted for their Arms. He gives other In- ftances in p. 4. Seventhly, Thefe Arms fhew who have been Founders of Towns, Caftles, or Churches. Thus the Church of Durkam is known to be built by the King of Scotland, and the Town of Exfort is known to be built by the French King, be- caufe they bear their Arms. And thus moft of our publick Build- ings in England, fuch as our ancient Abbies, Churches, and our Colleges in both Univerfities, do, for the moft Part, expofe to publick View the Arms of their Founders, as well as the an- cient Seats of our Gentry do thofe of their Ow- ners. Wherefore one of the late Editors of: this Book did well obferve, that in cafe a Difpute fhould arife concerning the Right to any ruined building, orthe like, he whofe Arms are found affix’d thereto, is moft interefted therein. Eighthly, Thefe Arms infer a prefumptive Right of Superiority, Quando Arma in Portis, vel Curiis pinguntur, Bart. Tra. de infig. When they are painted in Gates and Courts. And thus when the Midaners did engage to be Vaffals to the Emperor Frederick the Firft, they undertook Dreffers p. 227. to carry the Arms of the Empire upon the Stee- ple of their Chief Church, Limn. de jure publ. cap. 6. num 126. And when Orkney and Zet- land were fully refign’d to the Kings of Scot- land, it was agreed, that the Arms of Scotland fhould be affix’d in their publick Courts: And thus the Dukes of Venice are known not to have an abfolute Jurifdiction, becaufe they are not al- low’d to reprefent the Arms of their Family upon the Coin of the Publick, Albert, ad 1. Si qui C. de oper. publ. And one of their Dukes was feverely cenfured by the State, for having contravened this Rule in Heraldry, Te/ffaur. de- cif,270. Arms do prefume Propriety in Move- ables efpecially, to which Men have only Right by Pofleffion, and not by Writ, Hopping, c. 13. And this is an ordinary Prefumption in all Ju- dicatures, Narn ficut ex fignis fignatum, ita ex infigniis Domini rerum cognofcuntur,Tufk. Tom.1. Concluf:.516. For as Signs declare the Thing fig. nified, fo Arms {hew the Owners of Goods. Ninthly, By thefe the Ships of Enemies are known, and are accordingly confifcated, if taken at Sea which Lawyers extend fo far, that if a Ship carry the Flag of an Enemy, it will be declared Prize, though it belong to a Kingdom in Amity with the Seizer, Fafon, confil. 163. b, 19. Tentbly and Jaffly, They are moft neceflary for figning Articles of Peace between Princes, Contracts and other Writs among private. Per- fons. Having briefly run through the Antiquity, Rife, Eminency, Ufe and Behoof of Arms, it might be worthy our Enquiry to know, who are the Perfons, that by the Law of Heraldry have Arms given them by the King of Arms, with or without a fpecial Commiffion from the Prince: But this, as it falls under the Power of the Heralds, as limited in their Patents, f fhall-refer to thofe Tracts which I have fet a- part, for to thew their Adminiftration, @c. and proceed to offer fome few Confiderations, where- in Arms, though legally beftow’d, may be for- feited. Firft then (as Mackenzie ob- Stiencef Heral- ferves) they are forfeited by lead- “” ? ing a vitious and profligate Life, ). Si qua C. de fecund. nupt. where it is ordain’d, that ob Scelera & vite turpitudinem, hone(te nobilitatis decore privetur: For Crimes and Lewdnefs of Life, a Man (hall be degraded fiom a genteel or noble Rank. And the Reafon given for this is, Quia nulla fine boneftate eft Nobilitas > Becaufe there can be no true Nobility without Honefly. And Nobility thus forfeited, is not re-affuma- ble by their Children : But this, with many o- ther virtuous Laws is gone into Oblivion : For only Crimes and a Sentence do now take off the Sacred Character of Honour. And Caffaneus would have no Crime but Treafon exclude the Iffue of Criminals from bearing Arms. And with us (faith Mackenzie) upon reading the Sentence of The of Forfeiture, the Arms are torn, (which Cuftom hath been known among our Predeceffors alfo) and the Decree of Forfeiture, fays Mackenzie, bears an Order for this. But no other Sentence (adds he) for other Crimes difcharges the Bear- ing of Arms with us: Nor, as 1 may add, with us in England: Albeit, by the Civil Law, it feems, that all’ Crimes difcharge the Bearing of Arms, Statuas detrabendas feire debemus, l. 24. fide Pen. cap. 1.6. decis 130. Nor can fuch as are condemn’d for Capital Crimes get Arms, Treffer. de exiftim. 1. 3. 6. 25. And whatever renders thé Bearer infamous, doth likewife render him incapable of Raith getting Arms, though every Infa- my forfeits them not. Secondly, This Right is not loft by Poverty, even in the longeft Courfe of Time; Tiraquel. Mackenzie's Sci- ence of Heraldry, cap. 5 birdy, This Right is loft by exercifing mean ‘Trades, Viles » Mechanicas artes, |. nobiliores, c. de Comer. But when they leave off thefe, they return to their former Dignities, Pap. deci/. 196.

The ordina- ry Caufes of changing Arms he hath fet down to be fix. Fir/?, When the Bearer becomes fub- ject to another ; and thus Zam the Conqueror changed the Arms of England. Secondly, ‘The fucceeding toa greater Fortune ; and thus the Family of Stewarts Arms were changed by our Kings, when they fucceeded to the Crown of England. Thirdly, Adoption.

In this “refpeét all Colours whatfoever (without excep- tion) may feem to pertain to this Art, for fo ‘much as there is nothing in this World fubje@- “ed to the Sight of Man, but either is, or aptly ‘may beborn in Arms; fo fpacious and general “is the Scope of Armory. In blazoning of Things born in their natural or proper Colour, you fhall ‘only term them to be born Proper, which is a ‘Blazon fufficient for Things of that Kind, and ‘well fitting their Property or Nature, for there ‘are no Terms of Blazon allowed to Things born “after that Sort. By fpecial Colours, I mean fuch Colours as ‘by a certain peculiar Propriety (as it were) do ‘belong to this Art of Armory. Simple, and Mixt. Simple Colours are thofe, whofe Exiftence is of fuch abfolute Perfe&tion (in their Kind) as ‘that they need not the Participation of any other ‘Colour to make them abfolute, but do com- municate their natural Qualities to all other ‘Colours, to make them perfect, in which re- “fpect they are called elementa colori, as fhall be ‘fhewed hereafter, © And thofe are 5 © Thefe are both ; White, and Black. © To thefe in right belongeth the firft Place “amongft Colours, becaufe in the Order of Na- “ture they were before all other Colours: Préora “enim funt sompofitis incompofita : and are of Ari- “ffotle called, Elementa colorum, faying, Albus & niger funt elementa colorum mediorum. Only © White and Black are accounted fimple Colours, “becaufe all other Colours whatfoever are raifed ‘either of an equal or an unequal Mixture or ‘Compofition of thefe Two, which are (as I “may term them) their common Parents. Thefe “are faid to be the common Parents of all other *Colours, in refpe&t they have their original Be- ‘ing from thefe, either in an equal or difpro- “portionable Mixture. Therefore I will begin ‘with them, and fo proceed to the reft that we “call cclores medii, in refpe€&t of their Participa- “tion of both. Now forafmuch as Pra€tice is the “Scope of Dogtrines (to the End thofe Things chat are, or fhall be delivered, may be the bet- “ter conceived or born in Memory) I have ‘chought good to manifeft them by particular ‘Examples of ocular Demonftration, in the plain- “ entia. € White is a Colour that “confifteth of very much ‘Light, as it is of Scri- ‘bonius defined, Albedo eft “color fimplex in corpore “tenuiore multa luminofi- ‘tate conftans: to which ‘Black is contrary. Note, “As Colours may be re- ‘fembled to Things of ‘greateft Nobility or Re- ‘putation, fo is their Worthinefs accounted of “accordingly. ‘The Colour White is refembled to the Light, ‘and the Dignity thereof reckoned more worthy ‘than the Black, by how much the Light and ‘the Day, is of more Efteem than Darknefs and “the Night, whereunto Black is likened. Fur- ‘thermore, White is accounted more worthy ‘than Black, in refpe€t of the more worthy Ufe ‘thereof.

It is expreffed in Engraving by Lines hatch’d crofs one another diagonal, both Dexter and Sinifter, Avalyis of Honour, p. 190. Thefe are the fundry Metals and Colours us’d in Arms; but the two laft, as being ac- counted ftainand Colours, my Author tells you, have hardly been admitted by fome Heralds of approv’d Judgment; and I may fay, tho’ they fometimes may have been us’d, as Guim tells you by Inftances, yet is their Ufe very rare and feldom, the common and moft ufual in all Na- tions being Or, Argent, Gales, Sable, Azure, Vert, and Parpure: Though why Heralds made choice of them only, Mackenzie thinks is, be- caufe they thereby refolv’d to fix the Uncer- tainty of vagrant and capricious Artifts, even as, faith he, Lawyers have fix’d Prefcription to forty Years and Minority to Twenty- one, But yet there are, faith he, fome original Colours : Ariffotle re- duces them to four, White, Black, Yellow and Red.

But the Chymifts obferve, That White, Blue, Red, Green and Yellow are the original Co- jours, and from them he fuppofes Heralds have chofen theirs. But Mr. Nisbet, an ingenious Scots Author, has another Conceit, for, faithhe, Colours and Tin@ures in Heraldry were at firft arbitrary, but afterwards reftrain’d to a certain Number, which were taken(as’tis ordinarily thought) from the Liveries of the Companies who acted upon the Roman Theatres, which were Red, White, Blue and Green. Domitian added two other Companies, the one cloath’d in Yellow and the other in Purple Livery ; fo that there wanted nothing but Black to make up the Number of Tin@ures now made ufe of. After which, Jufts and Tournaments being introduc’d by the Subverters of the Roman Em- pire in Place of their publick Shews and Plays, the Knights who appear’d at thofe martial Ex- ercifes were wont to cloath themfelves fome- Science of He- raldry, p. 18. Nisbet 02 Cae dency, p. 8» the Duke of Azjou, King of Sicily, after the Lofs of that Kingdom, appear’d at a Tournament in Germany all in Black, wich his Shield of that Colour, femé de Larmes, i.e. befprinkled with Drops of Water, to reprefent Tears ; and thus he thinks Black became introduc’d among the other Tin&tures. Thefe Colours, forme will tell you, have their own myftical Reprefentations in Heraldry : For Or is us’d to exprefs the Bearer’s Faith, Juftice, Temperance, Riches, Generofity, or Profperity : Argent, his Humility, Innocency, Beauty: And a white Shield was given to Novices when they went to the War, and before they had done any glorious AGion, Parma inglorius Alva, Virg: Azure, his Charity and Victory : Gales, his Mag- nanimity, Courage, Love and Charity : Sable; his Grief, Prudence, Honefty : Sé#cple or Vert, his Courtefy, Civility, Youth, and Abundance: But let this fuffice; thofe who would read | more on the Elements, Vertues, exc. of thefe ; Metals.and Colours, may fatisfy themfelves out of Ferze in his Blazon of Gentry, or out of Leigh's Accidence of Armory, who have taken the Pains to inform you what they reprefent, when two or more are join’d together, if you credit No- tions which I believe were propagated only to reprefent Myfteries in a Science, wherein all Things fhould be accounted for. Sometimes (faith Mackenzy) thefe Colours have been us’d to difguife and conceal the Beas rer’s Origine. Thus fome were originally Mur- rays, but being forced to change their Name and leave their Country, they retain’d their Arms, but chang’d their Colours: For whereas the Marrays bore Azare, three Stars Argent, they bear now Argent, three Stars Azure. Colours; adds he, have been chang’d upon very honou- rable Occafions: And thus Ker of Cesfoord did bear Gules till their Chief was kil?d at Gamb/- path, upon the Border, fighting valiantly for his Country ; whereupon King “fames IV, ap- pointed, that for the future the Houfe of Ce/- foord fhou’d carry Vert, in remembrance of that green Field whereupon he was kill’d. Some: times alfo, faith he, Colours were chofen by Knights to their Arms, becaufe at Tiltings they us’d to appear in that Colour, and for that Rea- fon the firft Chrichtoun chofe his Lyon that he bears to be Azure. Sometimes the Things borne, are allow’d in their natural Colours; and then, as Mr. Gail- lim obferves, they are faid to be borne proper. But though this is allow’d ia the Charge, yet, faith he, in the Field it is not; for that mult be of either the ordinary Metals or Colours. Yet this fuffers fome Exceptions, as inthe Arms of Count de Prado in Spain, who bears a Meas dow proper, 7. e. a green Field charg’d with Flowers of feveral Colours. Some Heralds debate what Colotirs are no- bleft in Heraldry, and Bart. de Infig. num. 29. Ce gives A Difplay of Heraldry.

Burt this Notion of their being more Worth in one Colour than in another, Carter inhis Avalyfis | ceraleam aquilam alis utrimg; of Honour, p. 188. thinks unworthy our, notice, | rabra. and that not without Reafon; for of all that have written, there are fcarce two of Opinion which are moft worthy, fome arguing one Thing, and fomeanother: Therefore 1 humbly conceive with him, That the De- bate is impertinent in many Cafes ; for Colours are or were chofen to fuit beft the Nature of the Bearing; or for di- ftinguifhing the common Charges, and there- fore there can be no Precedency, for that Co- Jour is beft which is fitceft for the Intent; and this I am fure is a more fuitable Argument for the Art, which ought not to admit Fancies or Whims: Though otherwife it feems, that thofe Colours which have moft Refemblance to Light are the beft, and therefore is White preferable to all, to which Opinion my Author, Gailia, feems to lean: But others fay Gold is the beft, and Silver next unto it, as they are the wor- thieft Metals, and this, if any, feems moft rea- fonable. But I think it better to omit fuch Fan- cies, fesing they tend to alter the Defign: and Species of Or and Argent, making them Colours, viz. Yellow and White, and then that great Rule in Hevaldry againtt placing Colour upon Colour (which alone fhews thete to be Metals) wou’d be needlefs: Mackenzie is alfo of my Mind, faying, Colours are preferable only as they fuit beft with what is reprefented: As for Inftance: Three Pales Gales being to reprefent as many bloody Draughts by the King, and a Hand Gales in the Macferfons Arms, could not fo honourably have been reprefented by any other Colour; yet he feems to allow, that if the Bea- ring require no fpecial Colour, it is given as a Rule, that the Shield fhould be of a nobler Tincture than the Bearing; whence perhaps it is we have fo many Fields of Metal. The old Scots, faith he, I may fay the old Exglifh too, us’d to exprefs Colour. by the Word Tin- Cure. Science of He- raldry, p. 21. Ic is an indifputable Rule in Heraldry, as| Mackenzie, p. 20. obferves, That Colour and Metal mutt be us’d, or elfe Furr to fupply the Want of one, and that Colour cannot be put immediately upon Colour, nor Metal upon Me- tal, that is to fay, If the Field is Argent, the immediate Charge muft not be either Or, or Argent, but of fome Colour, as Azure, Gules, &c. and if the Field be of any Colour, then the immediate Charge muft be Or or Argent. The Reafon why I add the Word Immediate here, | is, becaufe though the Field be Or, yet the im- mediate Charge may bea Lyon or any Thin elfe: if that Lyon be chare’d with anot Charge (which Heralds call Super-cha that Super-charge may be Or: This not taken notice of by the Roman ferves cap. 19.

Sazé?. proves by many Citations. For it be a Cultom to embroider Gold or Silver upon or Silk upon Cloth of Gald or Silver, therefore it was afterwards appointed, That in Imita- tion of the Cloaths fo embroider’d’, Colour fhould not be us‘d upon Colour, nor Metal up- on Metal; and not from the Differences which fell out in the Trojaz War, betwixt the Fol- lowers of Achilles and Uljffes, whereupon Achil- #es’s Friends blazon’d only Metals, and Ulyffes’s Friends Colours; that fo by uniting them there might be an Union in Heraldry, and Arms might not be the Badges of Difcord any longer, as was the Opinion of a fanciful Italian. Notwithftanding this Rule is univerfal in He- raldry, yet, as Mackenzie, obferves p. 20. it ful fers its own Exceptions, as, 1.

Mackenzy finds fault with this his Reafon for the Bearing of Furrs in Coat-Armour, and not without Caufe; for, as he obferves p: 22. Shields were covered with Skins as thofe of the High- landers now are; which Coverings gave Occa- fion to the Furrs or Skins now in mention; and this is certainly a better Reafon for their being in Shields, than to fay, becaufe they were us’d in Mantlesand Garments.

And therefore our He- ralds make Ermyn to be a Furr, whereof the Ground is White, diftinguifhed with black Spots. It is hotly debated by MenefPrier and his namele(s Adverfary, whether thefe be the whole Skios of Ermyns, or only their Tails that are re-, prefented in blazoning; but Mackenzie, p. 22. thinks them both to err; for, fays he, It can- not be the intire Skin with its own natural Spots only, for fome are very frequently fpot- ted; nor can it be their Tails only, as Mene/trier afferts, for their Tails are fo little that they would make ill furring. Therefore he thinks, that thefe Spots are added by Heralds, not on- ly in imitation of the fpotted Furrs us’d by La- dies, for thefe are regularly fpotted, and in He- raldry they are not, but to diverfify the many Coats of Arms: And thus fome bear one Spot inthe Middle, fome two, fome three, fome one in Chief, fome in a Quarter, and fome difpofe them as a Crofs, éc. they are called by the Italians, Armelini, and the Latins exprefs them, per maculas nigras muris ponticé. ‘The Agyptians did propole this little Beaft ‘ for an Hieroglyphick of Chaftity, Farne/. lib. 2. ‘fol. 15.

Leigh in his former Part of “his Accidence, fol. 132. feemeth therein to con- tradiét himfelf, in that he affirmeth Ermyn tobe no Colour, but a Compound with a Metal, and ferveth as Metal only, For my own Part, [ do not fee how in Doubling of Mantles it fhould be reckoned a Metal, for that all Doublings or Linings of Robes and Garments, though per- haps not altogether, yet chiefly are ordained for the Repelling of Cold and weatlier’s Drift: To which Ufe Metals are moft unfit, as King Dionyfivs declared, when coming into a Church where the Images were attired in moft rich golden Robes, he took them away, faying, Sach Garments were too cold for Winter, aud too heavy for Summer. A fair Pretence to cloak his facrilegious Avarice, The fame Author in his faid Accédence, fol.75. making mention of this Furr, taketh occafionto commend a late prefcribed Order for the Diftribution of this rich and rare Furr, according to the Digni- ty of the Perfons to whom the Wearing there- of is allowed, which is this; That an Empe- « eS i 2 a dering in their Apparel as thick fet together as they pleafe : A Duke may have in his Man- tle’s Cape, only four Raungs or Ranks of them: ‘ A Marquis three Raungs and a half: An Earl © a Cape of three Raungs only. In fome Coats a ror, a King, or a Prince, may have the pou- | ‘thefe are numbred, but then they extend not «to the Number of Ten. Thefe Rows or ‘ Ranks before named are, of fome Authors, ¢ called Timbers of Ermyn: For no Man under ‘the Degree of a Baron, or a Knight of the ‘ moft honourable Order of the Garter, may “have his Mantle doubled with Ermyn. Mackenzie, p. 24. fays, That Gaillim in this Place not only taxes Leigh of his ContradiGtion, but afferrs Ermine to be a Colour, in which I think he is miftaken; for though he thinks it cannot be Metal, yet he doth not fay pofitively it is Colour, orto be us’d only as fuch. Mackenzy’s Opinion is, That it is neither Me- tal nor Colour, and fo may be put indifferently upon Metal or Colour, which certainly is good and allowable; but then his Reafon I do not like, which (in his own Words) is, Seeing it is a Compound of Metal and Colour; or, (as a Line or two below that) Seeing it is Metal aad Colour. For certainly to compofe Furr out of Metal, ec. is againft Nature: And as Gailim tells us from Chriftine de Pice, That it is no Crime to calla Furr, White, I humbly conceive it ridi- culous to call it otherwife, as a Furr, Silver, (which Argent implies) and that for the fame Reafon deliver'd by him, véz. becaufe therein is to be underftood only as a Furr or Skin. Therefore I believe the Priviledge that Er- mine has, in being plac’d either as Metal or Colour, is from no other Reafon than that for all Animals or their Parts when borne Proper, viz. becaufe they are neither Metal nor Colour ; and that both have that Priviledge, may be feen by the Trefor armorique de France, by the Maccullochs in Scotland, and alfo by the Arms of Sir Griffith Williams, Bart. which are ancient, and furnifh us with an Inftance of both toge- ther, being Gales, a Chevron Ermine, betwixt three Hume Heads fidefaced,couped at the Necks Proper, and crined Gold’: I have alfo feen this Coat where their Hair has been Proper alfo. The firft Ufer (faith Mackenzie, p, 22.) of this Furr in Arms, was Bratus the Son of Sylvius, who having by Accident kill’d his Father, left that unfortunate Place, and travelling in Bre- taigne in France, fell afleep, where when he awoke he found this little Beaft upon his Shield, for which Reafon he took for Arms a Shield Er- mine, which are the Arms of Bretaigne to this Day. The Majfbers, adds my Author, carry Ermine in token of their Defcent from Bretaigze, and he.obferves, that many Surnames, who al- ledge their Extra€tion from Fraace, do the fame ; by which he conjeCtures they came from Bre- taigne, whofe Inhabitants refiding on the Sea- Coaft were more enclin’d to travel than the other Freach. But fome Families, as the Cou- pers of Scotland, do, for more Security, carry both Flewrs de Lis and Ermine, to fhew their Defcent from the faid Province in France. How bee the Eftimation of Furrs were, and of what Account, we may perceive by the Injunction of Pope Iamocent the Lid, who, when Cuap. IV. we Difplay of 7 Heraldry. a5 when he gave Abfolution to Henry of Falken- burgh, who was acceflary to the Slaughter of Conrad the firft Bifhop of Wirtsbargh, injoin’d him for Penance, to fight again{t the Saracens, but never to appear in Ermine, Vaére, or any other Colour made ufe of in Tournaments. © This is that other Furr © beforementioned, to con- ¢ fift of a Mixture of White and Black, and hath © fome Refemblance of the ‘ Former: but differeth in * this ; that where that ts © compofed of White pou- dered with Black; con- “trariwife this is Black © powdered with White. But neither in that, ‘nor in this, flall you make any mention in Bla- © zon of any fuch Mixtures, but only ufe the * Name appropriated to either of them, which “doth fufficiently exprefs the Manner of their *Compofition to the Underftanding of thofe ‘that are but meanly skilled in Blazon; the * Name peculiarly alloted to this Furr, is Er- * mines.’ But this Mackenzie tejeCts as a Conceit or Fancy only of the Ezg/ifh, and that becaufe the French, whofe Heraldry we imitate, are igno- rant of it. They, fays he, p.23. call it not Br- mines, but Contre-Ermine, for which he quotes Columb. ps §2. and this certainly is moft proper, becaufe it denotes to every one that knows the Colour of Ermine the Colour of this Bearing, which Ermines doth not. He objects alfo againft the Names of thefe Furrs following, viz. Ermyncis and Pean, for the fame Reafon; adding alfo, that he fup- pos’d the Ufe of one of them to arife thus; The French, fays he, call Furrs or Doublings des paz- nes or peanes, which poffibly gave occafion to this Miftake Peaw in fuch as underftand not the French Tongue, for they fay only Hermine, if it be proper, vz. White powdered with Black ; and when the Colours altet, they exprefs them as Or, powdered with Ermines Sable, or Sable with Ermines, Or 3 Semé D. or Hermins de Sable, Bara. p- 14. avd Columbier, p. 53. But Mackenzy mil- apprehends Gusllim’s quotation of Bara, when he fays, tis to prove the Name of Ermynois a proper One; “twas to fhew that fuch a colour’d Furr was in ufe, faying, there (wiz. p. 14:) may the Ufe thereof be found, as you may fee in the next Example. When this Error ftole into our Englifh Blazonry I know not, for all our Writers do ufe it, Carter from Gaillim and Guillim from Leigh, though who was the Au- thor I know not ; but this I am certain of, that whenfoever, or by whomfoever it was invented, it was like the DiftinGions of Vaire, Verrey, and Varry; which (tho’ Sit John Ferne p» 86. affigns to each its particular Difference) is a even by Guillim as wellas Mackexzy own’d to be ridiculous ; for no Nation can underftand that Part of our Heraldry, if granted to either, nor will either bear an intelligible Tranflation into any Language whatfoever: ‘ Mr. Bofwell is of this Opinion, That Ermine “and Ermines ought never to be forted in Arms “with the Metal of their Colour, becaufe (faith ‘he) they are but Furrs, and have no proper ‘ Blazon with any Metal. Yet doth he parti- *cularly blazon the Coat of Walcot, fol. 106, in “the Atchievement of the Righr Honourable “Lord, Sir William Cecil, Knight, late Lord “Treafurer of England, where he might fitly. ‘have taken Exception againft fuch Bearing, if “he could have produced any good Ground for ‘ warranting fuch his Opinion ; in default where- ‘of he there paffeth the fame over with fi- “lence, knowing that Antiquity and Cuftom “(which hath the Vigour of a Law, where there “is no Law written) are powerful in Things of ‘this Nature: He fecretly relinquifheth his Opi- “nion, forafmuch as it is manife{t, that not only ‘Walcot, but Kéng/mell, and many others, both “ancient and modern, have ufed fuch Bearing ¢ without contradiction. ¢ Of thofe Furrs befores “mentioned, that are ‘ compounded of Yellow ‘and Black, this. is che * firtt, and is termed in © Blazon, Ermynois, whofe © Ground or Field is Yel- “low, and the Powder- ‘ings Black: Though this “be rich in Arms (faith © Leigh) yet in Doubling it is not fo rich, Of “the Ufe of this Furr, Bara maketh mention in ‘his Book, entituled, Le Blazon des Armoires, ‘ps 14. and Edel: Hiryffen, in his Book, entitu- “led, Le $ardyx d?

The Origine of Vaire faith Mackenzie,p.23.) is from the Furr of a Beaft call’d Varws, whofe Back is a Blue-gray, its Belly being White, and therefore Heralds have exprefs’d it White and Blue in Colours; and when the Head and Feet of that Beaft is taken from its Skin, it refem- bles (as Guillim mentions) much the Figure of Vaire usd by the Heralds, vid. Aldrovand, de quadruped. lib. 2.cap.24. And why they are not us’d Blue-gray in Heraldry is, becaufe that Art admits no mix’d Colours (unlefs in whole Beafts, ec. proper) but accepts Biue as the neareft to Blue-gray, and the Reafon it is us’d neither all Blue nor all White, is, becaufe the Skin is parted into thofe different Colours. The firft Ufe of them in Heraldry (adds Mackenzie) is faid to be from le Segnear de Cou- cies, fighting in Huagary, and feeing his Army fly, pull’d out the Doubling or Lining of his Cloak, which was of thofe Colours, and hung it up as an Enfign: whereupon ‘the Soldiers knowing his Courage, and confiding in it, re- Enemy, “dierum, lib. 5. fol. 285. faith, Legimus Caligu- | Colomb. p. 58. “ lam depittas penulas induiffe. “If you obferve the Proportion of this Vaire, “you fhall eafily diftern the very Shape of the © Cafe or Skin of little Beafts in them; for fo ‘did ancient Governours and Princes of the © World (faith Sir Joba Ferme in Lac.

This Purr Mackenzie, p.23. calls Vaire, vellas petafite, where (as he fays fome fuppofe) all the Pieces are made in the Form of little Glaffes, and call’d Vaire from the French, Verre, a Glafs; but others, he fays, call it fo from the Varia- tion of its Colours, as Guillim mention’d. He agrees to the fame Rules Mr. Guéllim has laid down concerning it, both as to its Blazon and Compofition, faying, It muft always be of White or Yellow, and fome other Colour, and that in Blazon you muft begin with the Colour like Metal, that is, with the Yellow or White. But I think this to be a Rule fo erroneous, un- lefs you cou’d confine all Vaéres to give the firft Place to Yellow or White; which Praétice has decry’d, that we, by Blazon, fhall never know when the Colour of Metal, or the other Co. Jours, fhou'd be in the firft Place. He condemns fome Scors Heralds for blazoning the Arms of Straiton of Laurifton, Vaire, Argent and Azure; becaufe, as Gwillim hath told you, naming the Pre when it is of thofe Colours it is need- efs. ‘ There is yet another Kind of Furrs much ‘differing from all other the Furrs before ex- ‘preffed, not only in Shape, but in Namealfo: ‘ As in Example. * This Sort of Furr or ‘ Doubling was (as Leigh ‘ noteth) of fome old He- ‘ralds called, Varry Cup- * py, andVarryTaffa, which ‘faith he) is as much as ‘ to fay, as a Furr of Cups; ‘but himfelf calleth it ‘ Meire, for fo he reckon- * eth it well Blazoned, ve- ‘ry ancient, and a Spanifh Coat. But L hold it ‘better blazoned, Potent Counter-potent, for ‘the Refemblance it hath of the Heads of * Crowches, which Chaucer calleth Potents, Quia ‘ potentiam tribuunt infirmis, as appeareth in his ‘ Defcription of old Age, in the Romance of the * Rofe. “So eld {be was that {be ne went ‘A foot, but it were by potent. This isa Furr, of which I find no mention in Mackenzy or Carter, but as from Guillim, they follow him in the Blazon thereof, as you may fee in the Avaly/is, p. 191. and Mackenzy's Plate of Furrs at the End of his Book.

Of this Sort of Furr, I find no Mention in Mackenzie or any other Author; Sir Fobn Ferne indeed tells us, that their nominal Diftin@ions proceeded from Leigh’s Fancies: His Words are, That thefe Differences of Terms, Verrey, Vatrey and Vaire are meer Phantafies of Leigh’s Blazoy, and newly by him devizrd, without any Authority of Writers to infer the fame; and that before Leigh’s Time all Authors had called this Furr or Doubling, Vaire: And if it be varied or compos’d of Argent.and Azure, then it is fo call’d, and no Colours nauPd: But if it confifts of any other Co- lour, then it is blazoned of fuch and fuch Co- lours.

Of all thefe feveral Sorts of Lines, Examples fhall be given here- after, as Occafion fhall arife, I will now {peak fomewhat concerning their Terms. Inveck'd is deriv’d of the Latiz Word Inve- hor, becaufe it enters its Corners into the Part whereon it bordures. The French, as Mackenzy and is term’d Imbatteled, or,( Pita alae te So nam’d, be- becaufe their Corners or An- gles are fharp, and thete we ¢ hi Leet a pa Lt pe uy!

Engrail’d, faith Guillim, is deriv’d from the Latin Word ingredior, quia ingreditur rem circum feviptam, but as Mackenzy very well obferves, he is miftaken, it being a Word that we have E bor« Naas 26 A Difplay of Heraldry. Secr. IL. borrow’d from the Freach, who call fuch a Line as was before obferw’d, Evgrefleé or Engrellec ; It’s true Derivation being from Graile, a French Word, fignifying Hail; as Exgrade, in common Freach, doth any Thing ftruck there- with; the Form of which being round, notch- eth the Edges of Tree-leaves, as reprefented by this Line. Pa peer Waved, every One knows its Signification , and for Vadé, which is a Term as often given to the fame Line,tis borrow’d from the Word Oxdeé, i.e. Wav’d in common Frevch, and hath the fame Pronunciation almoft as Uzdé, or Undy in the Englifh Diale&t: And hence it is, I fuppofe, that our Armourifts, through their Ignorance of the French Tongue, have corruptly writ it. This Line reprefents the heaving Motion of the Sea; whence it becomes a fuitable Emblem and DiftinG@ion for fuch as raife themfelves by worthy Atchievements thereon: Thus did Sir Francis Drake, that famous Commander in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth, and, as a Cog- nizance, receiv’d, for Arms, a Fefs waved be- tween the two Pole-Stars, his Travels being fo great, as that he was faid to vifit them both. Another Inftance is, the ancient Drammonds, a worthy North-Britifb Family, who carry three Barrs waved, their Ancefter having, by his Skill, conducted his Sovereign, Queen Margarer, through many Storms. ‘This Kind of Line is called, by the Latins, Undiformis or Undulata, Pet. Sanct. p. 163. and fometimes I have feen it written Usdata. Nebalé, ov Nebuly, is a Word alfo which we are indebted to the Fresch for, in whofe Lan- guage it fignifies the fame as Nebulewx, i.e. cloudy; and Monfieur Baroy, in his Art He- raldique, p. 34. ufeth the Word as wedo: Tho’ fometimes (as Mackenzy obferves out of Colomé. p- 102.) the Freach call this Line Nuance, which properly fignifies a Shadowing or Clouding with Colours of one Kind, and deriv’d it may be from Nadux, i.e. Clouds: It is call’d by the Latins, Linea nubilofa; and, as was obferv’d of the waved Line, may be alfo a fuitable Di- {tinGtion for fuch as are eminent for their Skill in Navigation and Pilotry, that Employment obliging them to feek Knowledge in Clouds and Storms. Crenellé is a French Word, fignifying the Bat- tlements of Towers and Houfes, as the Figure of that Line reprefents ; and deriv’d it may be from Crev, which, in that Tongue, is a Breach or Notch. This Line may well diftinguifh fuch as have defended Caftles, or are skilful and have perform’d fomething commendable in Archi- te€ture, fuch an one as the famous Sir Chrifto- pher Wren, for his incomparable Judgment and Defign, viible in our glorious Cathedral dedi- cated to St.Paul, commonly call’d St. Paul’s Church. The Latins call this Line Lizea pin. wata, Indented, as you may perceive, is with fmall Teeth, and Dancetré with deep and broad Ones; therefore the former is now term’d Dentata ab- folutely, and the latter Dentes decumani in Ea tin, and Di non ordinaria grandezza by the Ita~ fians. But fome, and that many too, think ori- ginally, that both thefe Lines were one, and thus the Latins and French have promifcuoufly called them Dentatas, vid. Skinner. But indeed Baron, in his Art Heraldigue, calls our Dan- cette, Vivrée, and our indented, Danced. And Favin, in his Theatre of Homour, lib. 3, cap, 1. p- 11. has Exdentée and Endenchée, by both of whom it fhow’d feem as though latterly they have made fome Diftinétion in their Names. _ There is yet another Sort of Line fometimes in Ufe in Armoury, which cannot be properly termd Rect-Angular nor Accute, and that is this following, which we call Raguly. ANE This Form of Line I never yet met with in Ufe as a Partition, though frequently in com- pofing of Ordinaries, rendring them like to the Trunks of Trees, with the Branches lopp’d off. And that (as I take it) it was firft intended to reprefent. Thus much fhall fuffice at prefent for fuch Coats as I told you had no Tin@ure predomi- nating ; let us now touch upon fuch as have. ‘ TinGure is faid to predominate, when fomeé “one Metal, Colour, or Furr is fpread, or (at ‘Jeaft) underftood to be fpread all over the Su- ‘ perficies or Surface of the Efcutcheon, which ‘ we ufually call the Field thereof, In fuch Ef. “cutcheons as have in them more Tin@ures ‘than one (as is ufual with the greateft Nume * ber of them) Field. ‘We muft obferve the 3 Charge. ‘ The Field is the whole Surface (if I may fo “call it) of the Shield overfpread with fome * Metal, Colour, or Furr, and comprehendeth ‘in it the Charge, if it hath any. Look how “ many Metals, Colours, and Furrs there are be- ‘forenamed, fo many feveral Fields of Arms ‘there be. In Blazoning of any Arms, you ‘muft (according to the Rule before given) ‘ firft exprefs the Metal, Colour, or Furr of the ‘ Field, faying, He beareth Or, Argent, Gules, ‘&c. or thus, The Field is Or, Argent, Gules, ‘&c. but you muft not name this Word Field, ‘ when you ufe thefe Words, He beareth; fay- “ing, He bearetha Field, Or, Argent, Gules, &c. ‘but you fhall only name the Metal, Colour, or ‘Furr; thus, The Field is Or, Argent, Gales, &c. ‘or, He beareth Or, Argent, Gales, &c. and ‘then proceed to the Blazon of the Charge, ‘if there be any.

Others ‘are of Opinion, that their Owners ete fuch, whofe Proge nitors in fore- pafled Times have born the fame eflentially and compleatly, ac- cording to the true Ufe of Bearing: But for- h as their Patrimony and Poffeffions ere much impaired, or utterly wafted ; their phews and Kinfmen fecing themfelves de- prived of their Taheritance, and yet living in hope, that in future Time the fame may (by * fome unexpected Accident) revert unto them- | ‘ felves, or to their Pofterities (laying afide all ordinary Differences) chufe rather to bear their Arms umbrated, that whenfoever either that Inheritance, or any other high Fortunes fhould light on their Family, they might again refume the worited Subftance to fuch their umbrated Form, and fo reduce their Armsto their ancient Bearing. And it is deemed a far better courfe (upon fuch occafion) to bear the Arms of their Progenitors, umbrated, than utterly to reject the fame, whereby it ‘might (within a few Defcents) be doubted much, if not denied, that they were defcended from fuch a Family. “ Whatfoever is born with Arms umbrated, | ic | ¢ Poy eu eI ae en Ne Heme eae es. muft not be charged in any Cafe. In Blazon- ing you muft never nominate the Colour of fach Tra&t of the Thing that is umbrated, be- caufe they do only bear a Shew of that they are not, ‘that is to fay, of a Charge; and therefore is the Colour of fuch Adambration efteemed unworthy to be named in Blazon.’ But I do not remember to have feen any fuch Bearings among fuch Scors and Freach Coats as I have feen.

Nor is our Cuftom more reafonable, becaufe neither do we keep up to the Rules we deliver; for cho’ we never fay three Pales we do three Pallets, which is much the fame Thing; for as the Pallet is one half of the Pale, and confequently the fixth Part of the Field, fo cannot three of them ftand at once in one Shield and ftand free, as al] Ordinaries mutt, unlefs the Shield be divided into feven Parts to fhew the Field on each fide of the Charge, which wou’d be to rob the Pallet, making it a feventh Part inftead of a Sixth; unlefs you would make thofe Parts of the Field betwixt the Pallets, lefs than the Pallets, that they might retain the Size, which is a Freedom that I never faw taken or allow’d by any: Befides, fince as our Englifb fay, Ordinaries of this Kind are known by their Size, the Field muift be equally divided, elfe they cannot readily be difcern’d. Tis the fame with our Barr and its Diminu- tives; for when we find a Coat divided into fe- ven equal Parts, we blazon it three Barrs; yet tell you, the Barrs muft ever contain the fifth Part of the Field, which then is impoffible ; nor can it be blazon’d three Cloffets, becaufe a Clof- fet is ever the Half of a Barr, and the tenth Part of the Shield : Nor yet three Barrulets, becaufe a Barrulet is ever the fourth Part of a Barr, and confequently the zoth of the Field: From whence it appears as reafonable to fay three Fa- ces as three Barrs, three Pales as three Pallets, three Bends as three Bendlets; nay, if we will any ways have an Hye to Uniformity, more reafonable in that it agrees with Foreigners, and hath no Variety of Terms. Mackenzy doth efteem the French Way, and ufe it; and if we did, I think we fhould do better. ‘ He beareth Or, an En- ‘ dorfe, Gules.

Mackenzy p.32. c.11. thinks Endorfe is alfo an old French Term, and fignifies to put upon the Back of any Thing, in dor/o ; (Endoffé now fignifies endorfed in Freneh) and therefore Executions of Summons, are called Indorfations, becaufe they are written on the Back of the Summons. And poffibly the Signifi- cation of Endorfé might lead Leigh to what he is above condemn’d for by Sir John Ferne, as bold. ‘Now from the Pale, aind the feveral Sub. “divifions thereof, let us come to the Bend, and * the diftin&t Parts of the fame. A Bend is an ‘Ordinary confifting alfo of two-fold Lines “drawn overthwart the Efcutcheon, from the “dexter Chief to the finifter Bafe Point of the “fame; fo that the exaé Point of the dexter * and finifter Corners thereof, may anfwer to the * precife Midft of thofe equidiftant Lines wheres * of the Bend is made : As in Example. ‘He beareth Oy,a Bend, © Sable.

Mackenzy finds the Bend finifter to be feldor born in Scotlands and, Imay fay, it is alfo y feldom us’d in England. ‘ You may, perhaps, fometimes find this Bend ‘born jointly with the Bend dexter in one Bf “cutcheon, which, to look upon, are much like ‘ unto a Saltire.

But I find, in Ba- ron’s V Art Heraldique, p, 36.. the Arms of Vig. nory, to be thus blazon’d, De gucules a fix Bin relles @ Argent, that is, Gales, fix Barells, Argent which Barells we call Barrulets.

Perhaps from, Burelé the French Words Baron, p. 39. {peaks of a Trangle indeed, which he terms half the Face ; bur gives no Rule concerning the Num- ber, cc. as beforefaid. In Scotland, faith Mackenzy, p. 37. the Face or Fe/s, is cal?’d a Barr, ashe inftances in the Earl of Perth’s Arms, who is faid to bear Or, three Barrs wavy, Gules: Thofe (faith he) fhould be call’d Faces, according to the French and Feffes, according to the Exglifb: Buthere £ think he is miftaken 5 for though it differs from the French, “tis agreeable with our Cuftom, who never allow more than one Fefs to ftand in one Field, becaufe of its Dimenfion, which is the third Part thereof; and becaufe of its pofirion, which is in the Middle ; though I hold his Bla- zon to be as good, becaufe neither the French Cuftom nor Exglijh, agrees with their Rules. But Mackenzy will have it, thata Face or Fefs, of old, was truly call’d a Barr, and it repre- fents (fays he) in its Shape, one of thofe Barrs which are us’d all over fome Doors, and there- fore the Latiz Authors call it Verris, Skinner verb. Bar. But this I concéive is no Proof yet, for they and the Jta/ians alfo call it Fafcia, or Bendas as he himfelf in the fame Page allows ; and, in my Mind, it rather reprefents the Belt and Scarf, as beforefaid. ‘So much of a Fefs: Now of a Chevron; A ‘Chevron is an Ordinaty, formed of a two-fold * Line Spirewife or Pyramidal; the Foundation ‘ being in the dexter and finifter bafe Points of “the Efcutcheon, and the Acute-Angle of the ‘Spire, near tothe Top of the Efcutcheen: As ‘in Example.

This was anciently the ufual ‘ Form of Bearing of the Chevron, as appear- “eth by many Sealsand Monuments yet extant, ‘and is moft agreeable to Reafon, that as it re- ¢ prefenteth the Roof of a Houfe (though I am “not ignorant that Leigh faith, it was in old ‘ Times the Attire for the Heads of Women- |< Priefts) fo accordingly it fhould be extended ‘ tothe higheft Part of the Efcutcheon, though ‘far different is the Bearing thereof in thefe ‘Days. In which refpe€ ic were fit that com- mon Painters, the common Diforderers of ¢ thefe Tokens of Honour, were better looked ‘unto; who both in former Ages, and much ‘more in thefe Days, have greatly corrupted ‘ thefe honourable Signs, by adding their new ¢ fantaftical Inventions; that fo they might ¢ make the Things born in Coat-Armour more “ perfpicuous to the View, or becaufe they would ‘ be thought to be well overfeen in Heraldry. ‘For indeed they want the Eye of Judgment, ‘ to fee and difcern that fuch is the Excellency of ¢ thefe honourable Tokens, that the leaft altera- ¢ tion either by augmentation, diminution, tranf- ‘ pofition, or whatfoever other Means, doth ‘ occafion a Change in them fo great, as that ‘ they thereby differ from themfelves, not only ¢ in their accidental, but. alfo in their fubftan- ‘tial Parts, and ceafe to be any longer the fame ‘they were before, and their Owners are de- ¢ barred to challenge any Propriety or Intereft ¢in them, in refpett of fuch Alteration.

YVhe French place 1, 3, 4, or 5 Chevrons at Pleafure ia one Field, and in this, as in many other Things, faith Mackenzy, the Scots follow them; and certainly this is as proper as their faying, three Pales, three Bends, and the like. ¢ The Content of the Chevron is the fitth € Part of the Field (according to Leigh): Bur © Chaffaneus reckoneth the fame amongit thofe ¢ Ordinaries that do occupy the third Part of the “ Field.

Of thefe ‘(faith Leigh) you may ‘ have no more than three ‘in a Field, except Parti- ‘tion. The other Subdi- ‘vifion of the Chevron “is called a Couple-clofe. ‘ A Couple-clofe is a fub- * ordinate Charge derived ‘from a Chevron, and formed of two Lines © erected Chevron-ways. “He beareth Vert, a “Couple. clofe, Argent. This ‘ containeth the fourth of ‘the Chevron, and is not ‘born but by Pairs, ex- ‘cept there be a Chevron ‘between them. Well ‘doth the Name of this ‘Charge agree with the ‘ Ufe thereof, which is not ‘ only to be born by Couples for the moft Part, © but alfo to have a Chevron between them, * which they inclofe on each Side. ©The next in order to the Chevron is the ‘Barr. A Barr is compofed of two Equi-diftant * Lines drawn overthwart the Efcutcheon, after “the Manner of the Fefs before-mentioned, as “in this next Efcutcheon appeareth. f ¢ This Ordinary differ- “eth from the Fefs, not * only in that it containeth * the fifth Part of the Field, ‘whereas the Fefs occu- ‘pieth the third Part © thereof; but alfo that the ‘Fefs is limited to one * certain Place of the Ef- “cutcheon, to wit, the © exa&t Center or Fefs Point thereof, whereas “the Barr is not tied to any prefcript Place, “but may be transferred unto fundry Parts of ‘the Efcutcheon. But if there be but one only A Difplay of Heraldry. SECT. Il. ¢ Barr in the Efcutcheon, then muft the fame Coat by the Name of|‘ occupy the Place of the Fefs, as appeareth in ‘this Efcutcheon. This Charge is of more efti- ‘mation than is well confidered of many that “bear thefame. If you have two Barrs in the ‘ Field, they muft be fo placed, as that thereby “the Field of the Efcutcheon may be divided in- ‘to five equal Parts; fo fhall each of them re- * ceive their juft Quantity.’ The French have no fuch Ordinary as this; for they, as I told you before, call a Bend finifter a Barr: And when they fay he bears Barrs or Barreé, they mean a Bearing like our Scarpes or Bendy finifter ; and fo on the contrary, when they blazon what we call Barrs or Barry, they fay Faces or Facé. Clofet. ¢ A Barr is fubdivided into 3 Barulet. © A Clofet isa Charge abftraéted froma Barr, “and confifteth alfo of two Equi-diftant Lines ‘ drawn overthwart the Efcutcheon: Asin Ex- “ample. © He beareth Ox, a Clo- ‘ fer, Sanguine. Thiscon- © taineth half the Barr, and ‘of thefe there may be ¢ five in one Field, and are ‘very good Armoury. '©The other Subdivifion ‘ of a Barr is called a Ba- ‘rulet, which (after the “Opinion of Leigh) can- * not be born dividedly, but muft be born by * Couples, unlefs they be parted with a Barr, ‘whereof you have an Example in this next ¢ Efcutcheon. “He beareth Sable, a ‘Barulet, Argent. The ‘Content of the Barulet ‘is the fourth Part of the ¢ Barr, whereof it isa De- ‘rivative, as by the Name ‘of Diminution impofed ‘thereupon doth mani- ‘feftly appear. Barulets © (faith Upton) are diverfe- ‘ly born in Arms, vz. Plain, Engrailed, cc. ‘ whereunto good heed muft be taken in Bla- “zon. Although I might feem to fet this Chapter a-part for the honourable Ordinaries ; yet, fee- ing there are other Ordinaries (fomething lefs frequent) that are form’d by the like Lines, I thought proper to infert them here, although they do preceed fome of the honourable Ones, which being compos’d of more Lines, I am conftrain’d by my late mention’d Method to treat of after fuch as have lefs: The fir of thefe Ordinaries is the Gyron. SA Cu AP. VI. A Difplay of Heraldry. 45 ‘A Gyro is an Ordinary confifting of two!‘ Efcutcheon, and meeting with the fame in © ftreight Lines drawn from divers Parts of the ‘ Efcutcheon, and meeting in an Acute-Angle ‘in the Fefs Point of the fame. A Gyron (as *one faith) is the fame that we call in Latin * Gremium, which fignifieth a Lap, and is the ‘Space between the Thighs; and thence per- ‘chance do we call the Groyz; which Name, “whether it be given to this Charge, becaufe ‘it determines 7# gremio, in the very Lap or © Midft of the Hicutcheon, or becaufe it hatha * Bending like the Thigh and Leg together, I “ cannot define.’ Mackenzy p.27. ¢.8. faith, That Gyrow is the Freach Word for Bofom ; and that Gyros were fo call’d, becaufe they met in or about the Bo- fom: They were of old call’d, Cotrarie-conid, becaufe they did meet in Cowo, portat arma con- tra conata ex otto partibus, Vid. Fern. 211. They are inthe Latin call’d, Pianule oftone, and Merlz octango-laxi by the Italians: And therefore if they be eight, faith he, the Number need not be exprefs’d, but if there be fewer or more it mutt. Berengarius was fo cald, faith Mackenzy, Quia ejus Arma erant bene gyronata. *Gyrows are born diverfely, viz. fingle, by * couples of fix, of eight, of ten, and of twelve, “as {hall appear hereafter, where I fhall fpeak ‘of Arms having no Tin@ure predominating. * For the Making this Ordinary, behold this * next Efcutcheon, where you fhall find one fingle * Gyron alone, which doth beft exprefs the Man- ‘ner thereof: As in Example. ‘ He beareth Sanguine, Sone Gyron iffuing from ‘the Chief dexter Point, ‘Or. If thefe two Lines ‘whereof this Ordinary ‘is framed, were drawn ‘ throughout to the Extre- * mities of the Efcutcheon, “then would they confti- “ tute two Gyrozs, as in this * next Efcutcheon appeareth. But if this Gyron “had ftood in Fefs in the dexter Part, and the “ Gyron Argent, then were it the fecond Coat of ‘the Lord de Wolfo of Suefia, whofe Daughter * was married to the Marquefs of Northampton, “and after to Gorge, ‘He beareth Argent, “two Gyrows, Gales. You “need not fay, meeting ‘in Point, the One from ‘the dexter Chief, the ‘ Other in the finifter Bafe, ‘ becaufe they do ever- ‘more meet in the Fefs- * Point, be they never fo “many. Here you fee, “that as two Lines drawn, the one Bend-ways “from the dexter Corner of the chief Part of * the Efcutcheon, and refting on the Fefs-Point, ‘ and the other drawn Fefs-ways overthwart the a IEEE EEE ———E—————————————— eee “the faid Fefs-Point, do make one Gyron: So ‘do the fame drawn throughour, produce two © Gyrons. © So much of a Gyron : Now of a Canton and © Quarter, “A Canton is an Ordinary framed of two * freight Lines, the One drawn perpendicularly ‘from the Chief, and the Other etranfverfe from ¢ the Side of the Efcutcheon, and meeting there- ‘with ina Right-Angle, near to the Corner of “the Efcutcheon, as in this next appeareth. ‘ He beareth Argent, a ‘Canton, Sable, by the * Name of Szttoz. “This ‘Ordinary is termed a * Canton, becaufe it oc. * cupieth but a Corner or *Cantel ofthe Efcutcheon. “Some Armourifts do ‘hold, That the Canton “is a Reward given to “Gentlemen, Efquires, ‘and Knights, for Service done by them, and “not to a Baron. Some others notwith- “flanding are of a different Opinion, That a ‘Canton may well befeem an Earl or a Baron “receiving the fame at his Sovereign’s Hand; “yet is the Quarter to be preferred in Dignity ‘before the fame: And before them both, “Sir Joho Ferne preferreth the Efcutcheon of * Pretence, which he calleth an Engifler or Fefty- ‘ Target. In this Mackenzy, p.27. c.8. agrees pretty well with Gaillim ; for, fays he, it is call’d Can- ton from the Frezch Word Canton, which figni- fies a Corner; and it reprefents the Banner that has been given to the Bearer, asa Reward of his Service; or at leaft is equivalent, as if a Banner had been given to him. ‘ Note, ‘That a Canton parted traverfe-ways, ‘ whether it be from the dexter Corner, or from ‘ the Sinifter, doth make two bafe Squires. And ‘if the Canton be placed in the dexter Corner ‘of the Efcutcheon, you muft in blazon only ‘name it a Canton, not making any mention ‘ of the local Situation thereof: But if it be pla- “ced on the contrary Side, then muft you in ¢ Blazon add this Word Sinifer, as he beareth “a Canton finifter. The finifter Canton is all ‘one with the Dexter in Form, in Quantity, ‘and in Eftimation, but differeth from the fame, * both in regard of the local Pofition thereof (by 6 reafon that it is placed in the finifter Corner of ‘the Efcutcheon) as alfo in that it is not of fo ¢ frequent Ufe. ‘ Hitherto of a Canton, now of a Quarters * The Quarter is an Ordinary of like Compo- ‘ fition with the Canton, and holdeth the fame ‘Places, and hath great refemblance thereof ; ‘infomuch as the fame Rules and Obfervations “that do ferve for the One, may be attributed ‘to the Other, Quia fimiliam fimilis oft Se A Difplay of Heraldry. Secr. IL. * of like Things, the Reafon is alike. The only ‘ Difference between them is, That the Cantona * kkeepeth only a Cantle or fmall Portion of the * Corner of the Efcutcheon, and the Quarter com- * prehendeth the full fourth Part of the Efcutche- ‘on: As in Example. Mackenzy, p.27. is miftaken, where he makes the Canton and Quarter to be all one: And this f underftand as much from his own Deri- vation of the Word Canton, lately mentioned, as any other Confideration ; for, fays he, the Canton isa Corner; and that a Corner of any Thing is improperly cal’d a Quarter thereof, I need not prove. © He beareth Verrey, Ar- ‘ gent and Sable, a Quar- ‘ter, Gules, by she Name © of Eftanton, Albeit that ¢ (according to Leigh) the ¢ Quarter is for, the molt ‘Part given by Emperors ‘ and Kings toa Baron (at ‘the leaft) for fome f{pe- ‘cial or acceptable Ser- ‘vice done by him ; yet do we find the fame “beftowed upon Perfons of meaner Dignity for ‘like Occafion. Contrariwife, the Canton (be- ‘ing received at the Sovereign’s Hand) may “befeem the Dignity of a Baron or Karl, as © aforefaid. ‘ Having fpoken of the Canton and Quarter, “as much as for this prefent is requifice, I will ‘referve fome other their Adjuncts to a more “convenient Place. And will now fpeak of a Pile, fhewing fome variable Examples of the © diverfe Bearings thereof. ¢ A Pile is an Ordinary confifting of a two- ‘ fold Line, formed after the Manner of a Wedge ; “ that isto fay, broad at the upper End, and fo ‘ leffening by Degrees throughout with a come- “ly Narrownefs and taper Growth, meeting to- ¢ gether at the lower End in an Acute-Angle, as “in this next Efcutcheon appeareth. “ The late Editor of this Book took the Pile, “ to be derived from Pi/um, an ancient Weapon “ peculiar to the Romans, {haped fomewhat like “a Dart without Feathers, but thicker at the “ great End, and waxing fmaller Taper-wife, “ being about five Foot in length, and fharp- “ned atthe Point with Steel: And fuch (faith “ he) were the offenfive Arms of the Ha/taté and “ Principes, as Polybins of the Roman Militia af- “ firmeth: And Generals themfelves have born “ them in their Marches, perhaps to encourage “ the Soldiers by their Examples ; all which is “ proved by the excellent Lucaz, /ib, 1. who la- “menting the Mifery of a Civil War, thus “ complains : —_——. “ Totis concuffi viribus orbis “ Ta commune nefas, infeffifque obvia fignis “ Signa, pares aquilas, & Pila minaniia Pilis. a “ce where, arma to impious War “ The Force of all the quaking World from far “ Is met; dire Standards againft Standards dafb, “ Eagles ‘gainft Eagles, *gainft Piles, Piles do clafb.

Thus Englifhed : “ Himfelf a-foot, before his wearied Bands, “ Marches with Pile in Hand, and not commands. But a Pile in Heraldry (faith Mackenzy p27. c. 8.) reprefents that Engine whereby Soldiers and others fecured the Foundations of their Buildings; and have fince been given to fuch as were very ufeful in founding Commonwealths, Colonies, or Families: But three Piles are often miftaken (as he conceives) both in Exgland and Scotland, for the Paffion-Nails ; which were or- dinary Symbols affum’d by fuch as went to the Holy Land. And thus (faith he) I blazon the Wifbarts Arms, Argeat, three Paffion-nails Gales, meeting in Point, for they refemble exatly the Jefuits Cognizance, which is three Paffion-nails. And generally in France and Spain, where thefe Piles are Gales and meet in Point, they are call’d Paffion-nails: And he the rather believes this, becaufe Spelman, p. 572. relates, That the Wifbarts got this Name out of Malice from the Saracens, whom Roéert, the firft of that Name, did much perfecute, about the Time of the Nor- man Conquelt. But the Nails we very frequently fee in Ez- glifh Coat-Armours, are like the real Nails which Antiquity us’d, and notlike Piles. *Tis proba- ble, in thofe ancient zealous Times, Nails might reprefent the Paflion-nails, and in fuch Coats the Blazon is not improper. Bur later Times have introduc’d them on other Occafions, where- fore I treat of them as Things pertinent to Building under their proper Head. ‘ He beareth Argent, a © Pile, Gales.

This Efcutcheon is fometimes termed an Efcutcheon of Pretence, as fhall hereafter © appear. I conceive both the Englifh and Scotch are in an Error, when they fay an Inefcutcheon of Pre- tence; or that the ’Scatcheon of Pretence is an In- efcutcheon: For an Inefcutcheon is properly the Charge of a Shield, and born within a ’Scu- tcheon or Shield, as the Coat before us, whe- ther in that or any other Pofition, lec Gusllim affert what he pleafe; and therefore the French do more properly call our Scutcheon of Pretence, a *Scutcheon Sur-tout, a Shield over all, becaufe it co- vers fome Part of the Charge of the Coat or Coats whereon it is placed: But of this hereafter. © This Ordinary containeth the fifth Part of © the Field (faith Leigh, but his demonftration © denoteth the third Part) and may not be dimi- © nifhed; and albeit it be fubje€t to fome Alter- “ation, by reafon of the different Forms of © Lines before fpecified, yet it keepeth {till one ¢ fect Form of an Efcutcheon, as we fhall fee “by and by. The next Ordinary, in courfe, which is compofed of a three-fold Line, is the Border as We and the French term it, ze. a Bor- der; for, as you may ob- ferve by the Curt, it bor- ders round, and as it were hemms in the Field. The French reckon this the Ninth among their twelve Honourable Pieces : But what is very remarkable, our Exglifb Heralds will by no means admit it as fuch, nor as a principal Fi gure, but only as a Difference, though they do allow of its diminutive the Orle as fuch: Bur, as both Mackenzy and Nisbet have very well ob A Dijfplay of Heraldry.

This hath the Form ‘ of an Inefcutcheon, but hath not the folid Sub- ‘ flance thereof, being evermore voided ; as in ‘ thefe following Examples appeareth, *‘ He beareth Or, an ‘Orle, Azure, by the [Ra ‘ Name of Bertram, Lord Z Y ‘of Bothal. This Word p © Orle feemeth to be de- ‘rived from the French © Word Oreiler, which * fignifieth a Pillow, and ‘is attributed tothis Or- ‘ dinary, becaufe the fame ‘ being of a different Tindture from the Field- and formed only of a double T in re- “gard of the Tranfparency of the Field with- ‘in, and the furrounding thereof without, it ‘receiveth the Refemblance of an emboffed ‘ Subftance, as if it were raifed like a Pillow “above the Field. Gptom termeth it in Latin ‘ Traéas, which fignifieth a Trace or Trail, be- ©caufe the Field is feen both within and with- © out it; andthe Trail it felf is drawn thereup- © on in a different Colour. If this were flored ‘ (faith Leigh) then muft ic be called a Treffure, ¢ which muft contain the fifth Pare of the Field, ‘ And if two of thefe be in an Efcutcheon, you ¢ muft term them a double Treffure. But Mackexzy p. 40. derives shis O:le from the Latin Word Orala, which figaifies alittle Bor- dure, and fays, That as the Bordure, fo alfo this was given to recompence fuch as have afforded Prote€tion and Defence, becaufe it defends what is within it.

That which made this Ordinary fo confider- able, and fo frequently ufed in Heraldry was, the ancient Expeditions into the Holy Land, and the Holy Wars; for the Pilgrims, after their Pilgrimage, took the Crofs for their Cog- nizance, and the Enfign of that War was the -Crofs; and therefore thefe Expeditions were called Croiffades, In thefe Wars (faith Mackenzy p. 42. cap. 16.) the Scots carried St. Andrew's Crofs, the French a Crofs Argent, the Englifh a Crofs Oy, the Germans,’ Sable, the Italians, Azure, the Spaniards, Gules, as Colomb. obferves : Thus Moztmorancy carry the Crofs becaute they were the eldeft Chriftians among the Gaals, and the Dukes of Savoy becaufe they did affift the Rhodes againft the Turks ; and the Sébald, who are-come from Sabaudia, carry the Crofs, becaufe Savoy or Sabaudia, from whence they came, carry the Crofs ; for Sibandus or Sibaldus, is but the corrupted Name of Sabasdw. But the St. George’s Crofs, ze. the red Crofs in a Field, Argent, is now the Standard of Exgland, he being our Patron. : The plain Crofs is cal?'d in Latin, Crax fim- plex & plana.

Fora Diminutive of it we have none but the Endorfe, which Guwillim, out of Leigh and Ferre, informs us, is never ufed, but when a Pale is betwixt two of them, or one of them betwixt two Coats; and to blazon it Paly of feven Pieces would (in my Mind) be worfe: For did Heraldry admit the Fields to be divided or parted into odd Parts, as I think it doth not, we fhould never know when the Lines are to reprefent a Charge, or Partition only.

Hereupon it feemeth “ the Ancients of fore-patt Ages have ufed the * Bearing of Angels in Coat-Armours, accord- “ing to thefe bodily Shapes and Habits “ wherein they appeared unto Men, as in Ex- “ample.” ‘The Field is Sfapiter, ‘an Angel volant in Bend, © pointing to the Heavens ¢ with bis right Hand, and ‘with his Left to the © Earth, habited in a Robe ‘clofe girt, Sol; having a ‘Scroll iffuing from his ‘ Mouth, containing thefe © four Letters, G.

Furthermore, among the ¢ Perfons there affembled, I find that the King © of Arabia bare for his Coat an Archangel coup- “ed at the Breaft, the Wings difplay’d, and ‘ figned in the Forehead with a Crofs, And that © Gideon, Epifcopus Pellicaftrenfis, did bear an ‘ Angel iffuing oat of the Baie of the Efcu- © tcheon, with his Hands conjoined, and elevat- “ed on his Breaft, the Wings difplay’d for Rea- ¢ dinefS of Flight. ‘He beareth Lanz, up- ‘on a Cheveron, Satarz, ‘threé Angels kneeling, ‘habited in long Robes ‘clofe girt, with their ¢ Handsconjoined and ele- ‘vated as aforefaid, and ‘their Wings difplay’d, “Sol. This Coat is faid “to be born by Maellock “Krom of Wales. And indeed this Fotm of ‘ Kneeling weil fitteth the Angels, to thew their ‘ continual adoring of their Almighty King, in ‘ whofe Chamber of Prefence they daily wait: ¢ Butthat we fhould kneel to them, that them- ¢ felves condemn in the Apocalyps: And St. Paal exprefly forbiddeth Angel-worfhip.

XL ¢ Aving hitherto handled that Part of our * Diftribution which comprehendeth “‘things Vegetable, proceed we now to the ‘ Other concerning Things Senfitive, which are “all Sorts of, Animals or Creatures indued with © Senfes. The Senfes, as likewife the fenfitive ‘Soul, are Things in themfelves not vifible, “and therefore eftranged from the Herald’s ‘Ufes: But becaufe they refide in Bodies of ‘differing Parts and Qualities from any other ‘ beforementioned ; therefore, in handling of « thefe fenfitive Creatures, I hold it requifite to ‘ begin with their Parts (for of them the Whole “israifed;) and thefe are either the Parts con- ‘tained, or containing, or fuftaining, T32 ‘ The Se Bi PP LYE iD “e. ie ee eee? 140 ‘ The Parts contained are Humours and Spi- ‘ rits, whereof only the Firft is ufed in Coat- * Armours, wherein are reprefented fometimes © Drops of Blood, and fometimes Tears, which © both are naturally Humours contained, though ‘in Armoury they are fuppofed no longer to be contained, but fhed forth. The Bearing of this Humour, Blood, is underftood to be ever- more born Drop-meale (as I may fo term it) ©or by Drops. Which Manner of Bearing is “in Blazon termed Gatte, of the Latiz Word * Gatte, which fignifieth a Drop of any Thing © that is either by Nature liquid, or liquefied by ‘Art. Thefe Drops do receivea different Man- “ner of Blazon, according unto their different “Colour, or Diverfity of the Subftance where- £ of they do confift. ‘He beareth Argent , “Gutté de Sang, by the “Name of Lemming. I cannot conceive but this Coat would be far better blazon’d; Argent, 15 Drops of Blood, 5, 4, 35 2, 1, Proper; becaufe, . was the Field gatté or femmée, that is, fullof Drops, it fhould be irre- gularly ftrew’d, and not in this Form: But herein my Author, I fuppofe, follows Gerard Leigh, who confined himfelf to his whimtfical Number 9, in every Thing, giving itasa Rule; when thefe Billets, or the like, are born to above that Number, the Number need not be men- tioned ; tho’ where he learn’d that 1 know not. Tam fure if Blazoning is Defcribing, ’tis here wanted, becaufe no Draughtfman could be able to know thereby the Form in which thefe Drops are placed; neither is the bafe Part of the Ef- cutcheon full, as his Blazon imports. © Thefe Drops are feldom born of themfelves alone, but rather upon or with fome other ‘Kind of Charge, either ordinary or extraor- 6 dinary, or elfe dividedly, by means of the In- “terpofition of fome of the Lines of Partition © hereafter to be handled. Thefe are termed ©Gatte de Sang, Quia ex guttis fanguinis con- « ftant; becaufe they fignifie Drops of Blood, « wherein the Life confifteth, And if the Blood ¢ of thofe, who boaft of their generous Blood, ¢fhould once drop forth of their Veins, no © Difference would appear betwixt it and the © meaneft Man’s Blood; unlefs perhaps it be in ‘ this, that ufually it is more corrupt and vi- tiated ; whereas in the poorer Sort it is more ‘healthful and pure. Which fhould teach fuch great Ones not to prize their Blood at too high “a Rate, but rather to excel others in Vertues, * fince they cannot furpafs in that Humour, which 6 isalikein all: And if they look in the firft Ori- * ginals of both Sorts, they fhall find, that Adam © was the firft Anceltor of the Poor, as well as © of the Mighty ; and fo the One of them as an- ‘ciently defcended as the Other.

For ta- ‘king away thefe Scruples, I hold it requifite, ‘ before I proceed to give Examples, firft to fet ‘down certain Notes by Way of Introduction “to that which followeth, fhewing how the ‘ Dignity of thefe Animals, hereafter to be © handled, is to be accounted of, either ina re- “lative Refpe&t of Things of diftiné: Natures “compared one to another, or in a compara- ‘tive Reference of Animals of the fame Kind “ each to other. ‘ This Dignity cannot be better underftood, ¢ than by taking a confiderate View of that Or- ‘der which the Author of all Order, and the ‘ moft wife and powerful Difpofer of all Things, ‘ did obferve, not only in the Creation of the ¢ Celeftial, but alfo of the elementary Parts of ‘the World, with their feveral Ornaments, “ wherein be obferved a continual Progreffion ‘from Things of lefs Perfeftion, to Things ‘more Perfect. For, was there not a Chaos ' without form and void, before it came to that ‘admirable Beauty, whereof it is faid, Loe, it ‘ was very good? In the Celeftial, the Sun (the ‘Glory thereof) was made after the Firma- ‘ment, and the Night was before the Day. In ‘the inferior Bodies, the Vegetables, as Trees, ‘ were made before fenfitive and living Crea- ‘tures: And among thefe, the Fifhes (which ‘ have neither Breath nor Voice, andare therefore ‘ imper- Cuap. XIL A Difplay of Heraldry. 143 « imperfecter) were before the Fowls, and both © of them before terreftrial Creatures ; and all © of all Sorts before Man, made after God’s ‘Image, for whofe Service all other ‘Things ‘ were made, as he was made for God’s Ser- ‘ vice. Moreover, in the Creation of Man, the « Body was before the Soul, which yet isa Thing * incomparably of more Perfection. ‘ By this rude Draught of God and Nature’s “admirable Method, you may conceive the na- ‘tural Dignity of thofe Creatures, as often as * they fhall occur in Armoury. But as Arc hath ¢ not always the fame End which Nature hath “(becaufe the One intendeth the Being, the © Other the Knowing of Things :) fo is not the © Method of both always alike in attaining their ‘Ends; for Nature’s Procefs is a fimplictbus ad © compofita, from the fingle Parts to the Whole, ‘ where Art defcendeth from the Compounds “to the Simples: In Imitation whereof, we ‘ thal in this our Progrefs follow this Courfe, ® that firft every whole Bearing of any Animal © fhall preceed, and then fuch Parts and Mem- © bers thereof as ufually are born; for fo every © one that firft hath feen the Whole, will difcern “the Parts the better; whereas he that feeth a- ‘part (having never feen the Whole) knoweth é hot whereof it isa Part. And in Coat-Armour ‘ the whole Bearing of Animals is moft worthy, © yet is not the Bearing of Parts to be mifliked ; © but if we confider the One and the Other refpe- é Gively, then doth the whole Bearing far fur- é mount the Patts in Honour and Dignity. ~ But this; I conceive, is to be underftood when Bearings or Arms are given (as Cambden faith of Augmentations) of mere Grace, without being intended to exprefs aay particular A€tion or Merit, and nototherwife: For if Arms are made Emblems as well asSigns of Diftin€tion, then thofe Beafings that will beft exprefs the Hiftory, (7. .) A€tion ot Merit, are moft pro- per, be they either Animals, their Parts, or either ; but fuch other Things as are alfo found to be ufed in Heraldry, and that Coat (if the Coat, without regard to the prefent Bearer’s Honour and Dignity, is only to be regarded) which is a Symbol of the gteateft Aion or Merit, is certainly preferable and the moft wor- thy Bearing, though the Other be a pleafanter Pi@ure, or compofed of fuch Creatures as; with refpedt to theit natural Qualities, ¢c. the natu- ral Philofophers, ¢c. would otherwife have prefer’d. But though Coats are (univerfally) Marks of Merit, in that they point out fuch Gentlemen or their Defcendents as have been diftinguifhed thereby by their Prince for Service done, you will find but very few that afford fuch Emblems as fhew the true Occafion of their Birth ; what being a Note of fome Ser- vice in One, being often‘a Note of Alliance on- ly in Others; or of Juniority or Cadency from the elder Houfe, when that carry’d no fuch Mark, nor were ally’d to any that did. ‘ Neither muft we here precifely efteem the ¢ Woith of every Bearing by this Order of Na- “ture, becaufe Art doth fometimes ftany e- ‘culiar Note of Dignity, for fome vane ‘ Refpect, as for fome efpecial Use, Quality, or « AGton in the Things. And this Dignity or ‘ Nobility may have a two-fold Relation; the © One, betwixt Animals of diverfe Kinds, asa ‘Lyon and a Spaniel, a Woolf and a Lamb; ‘the Other, betwixt Things of one Kind, as ‘ Whelps of one Litter, whereof yet One may “be nobler than the Other, asthe One will run ‘to the Chafe, the Other to the Pottage-Pot. ‘ And forafmuch as the living Things before- ‘ mentioned, as well vegetable as fenfitive, have : their peculiar Vertues worthy Imitation, as al- ‘ fo their particular Vices to be efchewed, and that it is a chief Glory to Gentlemen of Coats * Armour, to have their Vertues difplayed un- ; der the Types and Forms of fuch Things as they bear, it is to be wifhed that each one ‘ of them would confiderately examin the com ‘ mendable Properties of fuch fignificant Tokens ‘as they do bear, and do his beft to manife ‘ to the World, that he hath the like in himfelf: ; For it is rather a Difhonour than a Praife for fa Man to bear a Lyon on his Shield, if he bear a Sheep in his Heart, or a Goofe in his Brain ; * being therein like thofe Ships, which bear the ; Names of Dreadnought, Viétory, and the like ; though fometimes it {peed with them contrary to their Titles. A true generous Mind will ‘ endeavour that for his Self-vertues he may be ‘ efteemed, and not infift only upon the Fame ‘and Merits of his Progenitors, the Praife wheres ‘of isdue to them, and not to him: j ¢ Nam genus, Cr proavos, Ch que non fecimus ipfi, ‘Vix ea noftra voco, —— Ov.

So is it likewife in every other Thing, whofe Parts are diftinguifhed per Aute “ & Pofts in fuch the Forepart of the Thing born fhall be placed towards the Staff, other- wife it would feem retrograde or going Back- wards, which were monftrous to behold.” Mackenzy alfo, cap. 19. p. 51. agrees to this Rule, becaufe the Staff is the Support of the Banner : He alfo adds, That if they be placed upon Houfes that have Chimneys, the nobleft Pofition is to look to the Fire; becaufe, gene- rally the worthieft Perfons are placed next to the Fire. If there be no Chimney, the nobleft Pofture is to be placed, looking from the Door : Jf upon Caparifons, they ought to look to the Head of the Horfe, or Beaft that bears them. If they be born to exprefs a Hiftory, they are to be painted in chat Pofture which will beft fhew it, Macken. ibid. So alfo every Animal mult be moving, or looking to the right Side of the Shield, and it is ‘a general Rule, That the right Foot muft be ‘placed foremoft, Quia dextra pars ef princi- ‘ pium mots. And withal, it is the moft noble ¢ Pare in regard it’is the Stronger and more ‘ Ative, whence it is naturally firft moved, and ‘ therefore thus to defcribe them, is to fet them ‘ forth in their commendableft Fafhion; for ‘ Difpofitio laudatiffima Animalis eff, ut in omni- ‘ bus difpofitionibus fuis fit fecundum curfum ha- “tare; that is the belt Difpofition of every ‘ Creature, which is moft agreeable to Na- £ cure. é ¢ ¢ ¢ € eS Sy SAN a ee 8 A Difplay of Heraldry.

And fo it is of the Moon, © when fhe is Argevt, which in Heraldry is hol- © den her proper Colour. ¢ As touching the Dignity of Things born in ¢ Coat-Armour, J have already fhewed how the * fame is to be reckoned in the Order of Nature ; © but if it be confidered according to vulgar ¢ Eftimation, then we mutt hold this for an Ob- “fervation that feldom faileth, That fince eve- “ry particular Empire, Kingdom, and Nation ‘have their diftin&: Enfigns of their fovereign © JurifdiGion, look what Beaft, Bird, Fifh, ‘ Fowl, Serpent, ec. he that fwayeth the So- ‘ vereignty doth bear for his Royal Enfign in © each particular Nation, the fame is accounted “there to be of greateft Dignity. So is the « Bearing of the Lyon chiefly efteemed with us “in England, becaufe he is born by his Majefty “for the royal Enfigns of his Highnefs’s Impe- * rial Sovereignty over us: So is the Bearing of ‘the Eagle efteemed among the Germans: And “in like Sort the Flears de lis among the Freach- “men. Four-footed Beafts, whether they be “born Proper, or Difcoloured (that is to fay, varying from their natural Colour) are to be © efteemed more worthy of Bearing in Coat- © Armour than either Fifhes or Fowls are, in ‘regard they do contain in them more worthy ‘and commendable Significations of Nobi- ‘lity. Among Things Senfitive, the Males “are of more wo'thy Bearing than the Fe- © males.’ ; That the Enfigns of Princes in their Domi- nions are held moft worthy, is moft certain, in regard they reprefent the Sovereigns them- felves ; but then, in my Mind, this very Argu- muent overturns what my Author would infi- nuate therefrom, viz. That he who carries a like Figure with -his Prince, carries beft. I own, Where it is given by Way of Augmen- tation for any fingular Service, that it much ho- nours both the Bearer and the Bearing, in re- gard it points the Man whom-the King hath CHA honoured, and therein his fingular Bravery, oc. But yet is the Coat init felf but a Repre- fentative of irs Bearer; and as in all Cafes of that Nature, Reprefentatives always give Pre- cedence one to another, according to the dif ferent Titles or Honours of thofe they repre. fent, fo (if any Precedency there is) between / Arms, it muft be in the fame Manner adjudged. I remember Mr. Erdfwick in his little ingenious Traé publifhed by Sir William Dugdale; hints jat this vulgar Error, as if (fayshe) the Name | of Peter was better than fohn, or Thomas than | Robert, &c. which he concludes in averring, | Phare eechong or three Hares playing upon | Bagpipes ; or, as I may add, a Faggot-ftick is as fair and worthy a Coat as the Lyon, or any other Figure. * Some Men, perhaps, faith Guillim, will tax ‘me with Inconfideration, in not treading the 1 ufual Steps of Armourifts, in the Handling “of thefe fenfible Creatures, for that I do not |‘ prefer the Lyon (in refpeét of his regal Sove- j‘reignty) before all other Terreftrials. For “clearing of my felf in this Point, I muft plead, © That the Proje&t of my prefcript Method hath “tied me to another Form, and doth enforce ‘me to prefer other Beafts in Place, before ‘thofe which otherwife are preferred in Dig- ‘nity. And albeit I cannot fay there was any ‘Priority of Time in the Creation of Bealts, © becaufe God fpake the Word and it was done, he “commanded and they were created ; neverthelefs, ¢ in regard of Difcipline, there is a Priority to be ‘obferved, wherein thofe Things that do Pro- ‘ mife a more eafy accefs to the diftin& Know- “ledge and Underftanding of the fucceeding Do- “cuments, ought to have the Precedence. ¢ The Order that I prefix to my felf in treats ‘ing of thefe Beafts, fhall concur with the Tas ble of this prefent Se€tion: As, Firft, To fet ‘down Animals of all Sorts living upon the ‘Barth: Secondly, Such as live above the Earth, ‘as Fowls: Thirdly, Watry Creatures: Andy ¢ Laftly, Man. And becaufe of the firft Sort “fome are greffible, having Feet, and fome ‘ creeping or gliding, as Serpents, we will be- ‘gin with the Greffible; and firft with fuch ‘ Beafts as have their Feet folid or undivided; ‘or (as I may term them) Inarticulate, that ‘is to fay, without Toes; then will I proceed “to fuch as have their Feet cleft in two; and ‘laftly, to Beafts that have their Feet divided ‘into many.
