A15801	The true vse of armorie shewed by historie, and plainly proued by example: the necessitie therof also discouered: with the maner of differings in ancient time, the lawfulnes of honorable funerals and moniments: with other matters of antiquitie, incident to the aduauncing of banners, ensignes, and marks of noblenesse and cheualrie, by William Wyrley.	Wyrley, William, 1565-1618.	1592 (1592)	STC 26062; ESTC S120446	88,285	157

ashamed of their differences but laide them foorth largely to the view neither do I esteeme it a shame wherby any man should couet to hide the same to be descended as a yoonger brother sithence that euerie brother hauing the like parents is as well descended as the eldest and therefore as good a Gentleman though not so rich as he And the more is his honor if without the helpe which by reason of his patrimonie the elder hath he can aduance himselfe into place of office or dignitie whereby he may raise an other florishing familie of the same surname And therefore you my masters that be yoonger brothers neuer hide your differences by putting foorth a little cressant or a peeping mollet but vse some faire large deuise sithence in truth your estimation is by your rising to be had in as good a regard as if you were the elder And now being in speech of yoonger brothers and their differences I haue obserued two kinds of them which the antiquitie vsed besides the aforesaid one was that such as were aduanced by Kings Princes or other great Lords did manie times beare some part of the deuise of him who aduanced them by way of addition vnto the marke of their owne familie which serued verie aptlie to distinguish them from their elder house The other was that diuers did adde vnto the marke of their owne house some part of the deuise of that familie from which their mothers descended and both these two kinds of differings are in my minde greatly to be commended not onely for that they may be made large and apparent and for that cause serue very properly to the vse for which Badges are ordained but also that the one makes manifest a gratefull minde in him that is aduanced to his prince or lord of whom he receiued benefit and by reason thereof linketh them togither in a kinde of amitie which seldome or neuer is worne out and by that meanes a great strengthening it is vnto both houses The other not onely serueth to vnite the families which haue matched togither in the foresaid loue and amitie and thereby worketh the like effect but besides it sheweth the certainty of the dessending of the said yoonger brother out of both the said houses and also giueth knowledge of the time thereof whereby if any title of inheritance be at any time cast vpon the yoonger brother either descending from ancestor of the fathers side or mothers it giues him a testimonie of his title and witnesseth vnto the world the truth of his descent by the continuall bearing of that deuise so that this kind may many times worke profit to the bearer and auoid many troubles and sutes and therefore into one of these kind of differings could I wish our yoonger brothers which from hencefoorth shal be aduanced to inuest them selues as being both honorable faire certaine and profitable But now it may be obiected that the order in vse sheweth plainly ynough the diuersitie of brothers as the cressant a second the mollet the third that by this means the matters are made certaine to this I answere that first the time is not by this means signified neither can it be known which of the Cressant bearers was the vncle or nephew And further it is a very vsuall matter for euery new Riser at this day if he can find that there is any of the like Surname that beareth marke presently to vsurpe the same with a Cressant or some such difference so that for my owne part I do seldome credit such kinde of differinges nor their bearers vnles it be by some other testimony or proofe made manifest which cannot be counterfetted so well in the other deuise except the riser should be throughly acquainted with the descent of him whose line he seeketh to intrude himselfe into and besides it may be the sooner espied by them of the true line forbidden nor the other dare for feare thereof so soone venter the committing of a falsitie But what a confusion is it when you shall see the second of a second brother and sometimes an other second from him to cluster one Cressant vpon an other many times three or foure one on horsebacke vpon an other where as by the aforesaid bearing of the difference from the Prince Lord or mothers family a man may better distinguish the brothers and set downe for a second a third and fourth c. And after from those againe in a fairer larger and more apparent manner And the more apt am I to speake against these ordinary differences as they are called knowing them to be but new inuentions and any of them as ordinaries in fashion as now they are neuer vsed before the time of King Henrie the sixt before which time men were much more warie and discreet in bearing of their marks and in foreseeing that no intruders should enter into their families nor that any should lay away or remoue their differings without speciall warrant or license of them that thereby might be preiudiced for a Labell being much in vse for the heire apparent to wear as his difference during his fathers life was seldome remooued to the second brother but when the inheritance went vnto the daughters of the elder brother and then the second was permitted to beare the same for his difference as being the heire male of his familie and as one that remained in expectancie yet might not the second brother vse to intrude himselfe into the absolute signes of his house the inheritance being in his neeces or kinswomen as appeared in the case betweene Gray of Ruthine and Hastings which was this Iohn Lord Hastings married to his first wife Izabell one of the sisters and heires of Almerie de vallence Earle of Penbrooke by whom he had issue Iohn Hastings after Earle of Penbrooke Elizabeth married to Roger Lord Gray of Ruthin and some other children which needs not to be spoken of for that as I take it al the lines of them failed before the extinguishing of the line of the said Iohn Earle of penbrooke after such issue being had the said Izabell Vallence died and the said Iohn Lord Hastings tooke to a second wife Izabell the daughter of Hugh Spenser by whom he had issue Hugh Hastings and Thomas and then died and left as heire Iohn his son by his first wife who was Earle of Penbrooke as I haue said erected by reason of his mothers inheritance which Iohn Earle of Penbrooke married and had issue an other Earle of Penbrooke who also married and had issue a third Earle of Penbrooke but in the end all the line of the said Iohn Hastings first Earle of Penbrooke of that familie fayling there arose a question betwixt the heires of Roger Gray and Elizabeth his wife being sister of the whole blood and the heires of Hugh Hastings brother of the halfe blood to the said Iohn Earle of Penbrooke for the inheritance of the Hastings But Gray recouering the same by the law

ancestors by correcting the destroiers thereof and therein to imitate the laudable actions of William Fleetwood Serieant at the Law and Recorder of the Citie of London who being commissioner amongst others for the visitation of causes Ecclesiasticall by the Princes authoritie by vertue thereof imprisoned certaine wilfull persons that had defaced the moniment of Queene Katherine Dowyger at Peterborough vntil such time as they had reformed the same which thing was through his good endeuor reedified and perfected againe and so remaineth to this daie for although some happily see standing those of their own parents yet it were good they should foresee that no others be pulled downe for that there is not to be looked for but that suffering such iniuries to rest vnpunished the dooers thereof wil in time growe more insolent and haue a cast to ouerthrowe theirs also And now being in speech of moniments I cannot but remember their ignorance who make small account of anie ancestour except before the Conquest weening that all that lie crosse-legged so were and that all ancient euidence without date is the like whereas the one was not had in vse vntil after the Palestine wars and the other such as be sealed be also since the Conquest for I could neuer see nor heare of any that had seene sealed deed but the same was made sithence the Conquest of this Land when the vse as I take it of sealing with waxe first began in England But these men will not stoupe one iote vnder the Conquest telling manie fables of their ancestors then preseruing their houses Honors Armories forgetting quite that it is much more glorious and honorable to be descended from a most famous nation conquering then such people by plaine feate of Armes subiuged for as the Poet saith quis enim sua praelia victus Commemorare velit referam tamen ordine nec tam Turpe fuit vinci quàm contendisse decorum est Magnaque dat nobis tantus solatia victor So that if they haue any thing praise woorthie left to brag of it is that they well contended with so puissant conquerors which were then in their time as wise glorious and famous a nation as were in the whole world to be found Another sort there be not much more skilfull who if they see any Armorie straight enter into the comparison of the fairenes thereof and foule and false is it if mettall lie vpon mettall alone or colour vpon colour And yet I could wish we should neuer haue more dishonorable men nor woorse soldiers than haue so borne their Armorie for to omit that woorthie Godfrey and that Mack Morise king of Lymster in Ireland whose onely daughter and heire was married to Richard Strongbowe Earle of Penbroke and bare in a blacke shield a red ramping Leon of our owne sir Richard Sanbach of Sanbach in Chesshire sir William Wakbirge of Wakbirge in Darbyshire two valiant Knights yet both bare colour vpon color Passing the number of examples I will onely recite the words of mine Author speaking of the aduentures of a braue Knight in the companie of sir Robert Canole resting by Parris this Knight hauing vowed to strike with his launce on the barriers of the citie performed it and then the words be these Celluy cheualier ie ne sca comment il auoit nom ne de quel pays il estoit mais s'armoit a gueulles a deux fousses noyeres et vne bordure noyre non endente And although I grant they be not so well to be discerned as when mettal and colour be varied the one with the other yet sithence the number be great of most woorthie men that haue borne their armes in such maner I will esteeme their marks as honorable as the rest and neuer impute any falsitie to them And this kinde of men also commonly descant vpon the proportion nature and qualitie of the deuise as if the name of Richard were better than Robert and Ralph better than Roger and in their conceits the Eagle or Faulcon are the fairest birds to be borne of all fethered foules and so of other the like when indeed except for the reuerence due to the bearers who do honor their bearings by their renowme vertue and valure otherwise there is no difference in the fairenes of marks but that those onely are to be preferred which be easiest to be perceiued discerned and knowen to be the same things they be marked out for And therefore the Capitale of Beusz blacke Midas head with his faire long Asse eares was as good a crest as sir Iohn Chandos chiftains head proper in a white scarffe goodly enuellopped and as faire a cote is Hopwells being three red hares playing on bagpipes in a siluer shield as Newinton which bare d'Azure three eglets d'Argent displaid And now me thinks I heare some that esteeme me to mend and become more fine skilfull and Herauld like in my emblazons as vsing the French phrases of d'azyer d'argent who thinke I doubt not but that I haue committed a great error for want of vsing the said French phrases in my emblazons notwithstanding I will ioine in opinion with such as esteeme it to be more proper to speake and vse English termes and phrases in an English booke dedicated to Englishmen than French or Latine otherwise than cited authoritie leadeth And now my good Lords and you braue Soldiers and Gentlemen I haue little else to trouble you with at this time but to wish you had no woorse a writer to eternize your fame then mine Author sir Iohn Froissart was to the Knights and Captains of England your predecessors and to craue your patience in that I haue been so vnaduised to molest you this long with these tedious and simple trauels of mine caused through the great zeale and affection I beare to your praiseable profession and that you would pardon my boldnes in the writing and dedicating thereof to your Honors neuerthelesse I beseech you again sithence they entreat of matter tending to the aduancement of your glories that you would vouchsafe to accept of them in good part and with the shields of your woorthie fauors to protect them from the outrage of such as enuie your memorable vertues praieng to God that all your noble atchiuements may be with no lesse praise remembred then our knights of that time were spoken of by sir Arnold Dandrehen martiall of France there enemie to King Henrie of Castile the valiant bastard a little before the battaile of Naueret and because at my first entrance into this matter I saluted you with a sentence of mine authour I haue thought it no bad Decorum with his report of those speeches being as followeth to take my leaue Sire sire saulue soit vostre Grace saith he vos dy q̄ quāt par battaille vous assembleres au Prince vous trouueres la gens d'armes tels comme il les fault trouuer car la est la fleur de tout Cheualrie du monde la trouueres
