should wear some such coat of mark over his Armor as whereby they might be easily discerned to be the same persons which indeed they were and where somtimes when occasion so offered itself they were forced to use Pavishes for their defence whereby a great part of the mark which was upon their vesture was shadowed from sight it was thought necessary that their marks should be also laid upon their shields the commanders of Horse-men their faces being for the most part covered they added to the crests of their Helmets some further distinction to be the better also known by Thus much for the ordinance and use of Armory And hereby also may it appear to whom they do properly belong and appertain namely to Kings Princes Archbishops Bishops Earls Barons Lords of provinces and fees Knights officers in the Army Navy or peece and generally to all that have charge over Bands and companies of souldiers And now sithence from henceforth many of my speeches will tend to the discovery of such things as I take to be abused erronious or faulty wherein I may peradventure not square in opinion with some others and being myself no officer or of any authority whereby I should have cause to deal in these affairs I will therefore first beseech your Honours and all others to whom it may appertain that if any thing shall pass my pen which shall be offensive that they will conceive no worse of it then I mean which is but to bring these matters of Armory into question to the end that if any thing be amiss as I for my part think that many things are that then the same may be reformed but if happily I mistake that then it would please such as be of judgment or skill to justifie the same as well done and I shall most willingly yield to authority and reasons And so not speaking but under correction I say that first I find as I conceive some blame to be imputed in your selves which be professed souldiers that where your ancestors and all others generally did in their Standards Banners and Pennons shew forth to the view and face of the enemy certain fair antient and known marks which their elders for the most part had usually before time carried or at least themselves had then taken if they but then were in their rising age whereby their own people were in a goodly decent order conducted and led and their enemies very much terrified when they should see those marks shewed forth the owners whereof had in their memories by plain feat of Arms overthrown their parents or happely themselves beaten them out of the field razed down their castels and fortresses sacked their towns and cities wasted and spoiled their countries ransomed their people and generally so daunted and amazed them that it was sometimes found to be true that very bare names of some valiant persons overcame whole Armies I can but blame you of all sorts which shall make choice of Banners which you call colors so curtein-like and so far from all due order of Ancient bearing as may be and for your parts which are descended from Ancestors of mark I would be glad to hear any reason from you to what end you should lay the same aside and make choice of a curtein in the place thereof And you others whose wisdom and valure have gained you the reputation of a charge I would gladly also hear from you what should move you to be of that mind as not to take some convenient mark such a one as may be thought meet by authority for you whereby you may gain an honour both to your selves and your posterity and by your good usage thereof much enlarge the reputation you have by your valours obtained An other thing that is amiss as I take it and hath great need to be reformed is the quartering of many Marks in one shield coat or Banner for sithence it is true that such Marks serve to no other use but for a commander to lead by or to be known by it is of necessity that the same be apparent fair and easie to be discerned so that the quartering of many of them together doth hinder the use for which they are provided As how is it possible for a plain unlearned man who may be as good a souldier in some respects as the best to discern and know a sunder six or eight what speak I of six or eight sometimes thirty or forty several marks clustered all together in one shield or Banner nay though he had as good skill as Robert Glover late Somerset that dead is and the eyes of an Eagle amongst such a confusion oâ— things yet should he never be able to decipher the errors that are daily committed in this one point nor discern or know one Banner or Standard from another be the same never so large So that except it be to be made in a pedigree or descent to lock up in an evidence chest thereby to shew mens titles to their lands or the Alliences and kindreds of their houses otherwise as I say I see not to any use in the world they serve specially so many together to be made upon a mans vesture Target or Banner and therefore I could wish that every man would content himself with his own peculiar coat of name and not to use above one quartered therewith at the most which one yet doth not so much trouble the capacity of a man but that he may both know and discern a Banner or shield well enough And this one do I the rather esteem well of to be born for that a Prince or Noble man making challenge or title to any Country for which he is forced to make wars before he can obtain it it will be a goodly thing for him to shew forth his Standard of the Arms of that Country quartered with his own amongst those people which in reason and conscience owe him duty and obedience to the end that they may thereby be the sooner induced to submit themselves to their true and lawful Soverain as his subjects And for that cause as I take it King Edward the third and his valiant sons devised and shewed forth the Arms of France and England quartered together and although my Authour saith that Jaques Dartvell was the first deviser thereof yet will I not believe otherwise but that the principal reasons that led the King thereto was to make known the justness of his title to that kingdom where he then intended to make wars But now it may be objected sithence a Prince or great Lord may have title to several Countries that therefore it is necessary for him to beare all such tokens or marks as he hath title too To this I answer that although I could yeild to them but that it will bring the eonfusion aforesaid yet is it of no such necessity for that a man needs to shew his title but onely to them whom he means to subdue and if it should

A CATALOGUE OF THE BARONETS OF THIS KINGDOM OF England From the first Erection of that Dignity until the 4th of July 1681 inclusive AN Advertisement TO THE READER WHen the Copie from which this subsequent Catalogue of the English Nobility is printed was sent to the Press the name and Title of Francis Lord Howard of Effingham was omitted tho in the second Volume of the Baronage of England published in anno 1676 upon the best information I could then obtain I had there taken notice of that person as heir expectant to the said Honour after the death of Charles Earl of Nottingham who was then very aged and issuless doubting to fix him therein before he had regularly made his claim thereto might give offence to the rest of the Nobility but upon view of my Copie by some intelligent persons who nevertheless thought it proper to be inserted I submitted thereto whereat if any take offence I humbly crave pardon it being my clear opinion that such of a collateral line as have right by descent to any Title of Honour accruing to them by virtue of an entail thereof made long since they should openly exhibite their claim unto the King with due proof of their right thereto as hath heretofore in like cases been done and thereupon with his Majesties allowance thereof have the same by the direction of the Earl Marshal orderly registred Whereas in the Catalogue of the Vicounts I have inserted Leicester Devereux Vicount Hereford now in minoritie I'have hereby thought fitt to advertise the Reader that upon certain exceptions taken in Parliament in anno 1677 to his right for that Title by reason of the attainder of Robert Earl of Essex and Vicount Hereford in 43 Eliz. and restoration of that Honour being only limitted to Robert his Son and the two Sisters of the said Robert the decision â—hereof was then by order of the House of Lords reâ—â—ited till the said Leicester Devereux shall come of full Age. It is likewise to be noted whereas in this ensuing Catalogue Pag. 71. Charles Wilmot Earl of Rochester is inserted that since the printing thereof he dyed whereby that Title of Honour is totally extinct and therefore that the number of Earls mentioned in pag. 69. lin penult is to be no more then 68. And that James Compton Earl of Northampton mentioned p. 70. is since dead but succeeded by George his Son who is under Age. I have likewise thought fit farther to advertise the Reader that the Book-Seller being desirous to publish Catalogues of the Scottish and Irish Nobility such hath been the unexspected delay in obtaining perfect Copies from Scotland and Ireland that the publication of my papers which have been printed more then four months since hath by reason thereof been so long retarded that it hath necessitated some alterations and emendations now added Also that as to the following Catalogue of the Scottish Nobility Sir George Mackenzie the worthy Lord Advocat of Scotland in his letter to me bearing the 30th of December 1681 doth signify that he did review it and gave his assistance for the better compleating thereof and doth certify that it is very perfect and exact But the said Sir George Mackenzie in a learned Treatise of
