in Armes And like as the children of the second brother bearing three labels haue their differences by their signes and borders so the children of the third brother bearing foure labels beare the same armes their father did and so many labelles and they haue also their differences by their signes and borders as before is rehearsed and diuers other as a lion ramping one part blacke and another part red For of all the markes and signes which be found in Armes as flowers leaues and other deuises it were too long and tedious to speake of they be so innumerable but for such rules as generally holde in Armourie obseruing these which here I haue set downe I doubt not but you shall finde them sufficient to blaze the hardest coate Therefore take you heede to these rules and although they touch not euerie particular in Armourie yet shall you finde them to profite much and shew you a neare way to some perfection in this knowledge And nowe lastly I wil proceede to this question that is Whether the Armes by the graunt of a Prince or other great Lorde be of more dignitie than those Armes which a man taketh by his owne aucthoritie when it is lawfull for him to take him Armes at his pleasure By which question you shal well knowe that wee haue Armes foure manner of wayes The first of the which is the Armes which wee haue by descent from our fathers or mothers or our predecessours the which manner of bearing of Armes is most vsuall and most famous vppon the which I intend not to stand long being so wel approoued The second manner wee haue Armes by is by our merites as plainely appeareth by the addition of the Armes of France to the Armes of England wonne by that victorious prince Edward the eldest sonne of King Edward the third then king of England after the taking of King Iohn of Fraunce in the battaile of Poicters which Armes are rightly and lawfully borne and in the same manner may a priuate souldier take some great Lorde in battaile the same souldier may carry the Armes of his prisoner and his heire shall in his fathers right carrie the same Armes The third manner is when wee haue Armes by the grant of a Prince or some other great Lord and it is to bee vnderstoode that these Armes which wee haue by the grant of the Prince receiue no question why a man doeth beare such a coate for the Prince will not that such a question be asked whie hee gaue to any man such Armes Because whatsoeuer pleaseth the Prince hath the strength of the lawe so it be not to ouerthrowe the lawe except any man bare those Armes before because that that which is a mans owne by a right title may not bee taken from him nor may the Prince doe it without doing wrong The fourth manner is when wee beare Armes which we take by our owne proper authoritie as we see in these daies how many men by their grace labour fauour or deseruing are made gentlemen some by their wisedome some by valour some by their strength some by arte some by vertue and of these men many by their owne aucthoritie haue taken Armes to be borne by them and their heires whose names I thinke it needelesse to repeate neuerthelesse I thinke those Armes so taken may bee lawfully borne but yet they are not of so great dignitie and authoritie as those Armes which be granted by the authoritie of a Prince or great Lord. And it is the opinion of many that a Herald of Armes may giue Armes But I say if any Armes be giuen by a Herauld that those Armes be of no more authoritie than those Armes taken by a mans owne authoritie FINIS
