as in these Examples following The other sort of Stars that do shine after a diverse sort are those that we call Comets or Blazing Stars whose Form is commonly as in this next Escocheon is represented CHAP. IV. SO much of the first Member of the Distribution before delivered viz. of Constant Essences which are only those Celestial Creatures which being void of this corrupt mixture that is found in all Creatures Sublunary have a priviledge by Divine appointment from the mutability whereto all things under the Moon are subject Now come we to that other Member thereof namely such as are Inconstant Natures so far forth as there is use of them in Arms. Inconstant Natures are bodily Essences of small continuance by reason of their ignoble or base substance such are the four Elements viz. Fire Air Water and Earth Fire Winters treasure Water Somers pleasure But the Earth and Air none can ever spare Elements are simple Essences of small stability and the womb of all mixt things as Scribo●●us noteth and according to some Authors called Elementa ab alendo of nourishing but Saint Hierom calleth Elementa quasi Elevamenta for their proportionable mixture in the composition of the Bodies Sublunar whereby they are made fit for Motion Of these Elements these Examples next following having a representation Fire in the Scriptures is often taken for a special token of Gods favour and that he is pleased with the Sacrifices that are done un●o him as when he answereth as it were by Fire like as we read Iudges 6. 21. Then the Angel of the Lord put out the end of his staff that he held in his hand and touched the flesh and unlevened bread and there arose up Fire out of the stones and consumed the flesh and unlevened bread c. And as when Eliah contended with the Prophets of Baal touching the manifestation of the true God Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the Burnt-offerings and the wood and the stones and the dust and licked up the water that was in the trench 1 Kings 18. 38. And again When Solomon had made an end of praying Fire came down from Heaven and consumed the Burnt-offerings and the Sacrifices and the glory of the Lord filled the House 2 Chron. 7. 1. The Chevron being as we before have said a memorial and token of Building it may seem the Heralds were not well advised to put flames of Fire so near it but it is no inforced conjecture to suppose that this Coat-Armour was first given to him who had restored some publick Edifice which Fire had consumed This next ensuing hath also a resemblance with it Fresh and sweet Waters are reckoned amongst Gods peculiar Blessings promised to the observers of his Laws and those of chiefest rank For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good Land a Land in the which are Rivers of Waters Fountains and Depths that spring out of the Valleys and Mountains Lev. 26. 7. CHAP. V. HAving shewed by particular Examples the bearing of simple Essences or at the least of such things as have a mutual participation of qualities with them I will now proceed to the handling of the next Member of the Distribution which comprehendeth Essences or Natures of mixt Kinds Such are Brute or without life Living By Brute Natures I understand all Essences whatsoever of mixt kind that are meerly void of life Such are Meteors which are unperfect kinds of mixture which by their strange Apparitions do move their Beholders to an Admiration and these are called Corpora sublimia because they are ingendred aloft in the Airy Region The matter whereof these Meteors are ingendred is a certain attracted fume drawn up on high by the Operation of the Sun and Stars This fume or smoak is Vapour Exhalation Vapour is a moist kind of fume extracted chiefly out of the Water and therefore is easily dissolved again thereinto and hence are watry Meteors Exhalation is a drier kind of fume attracted up from the Earth and apt to be inflamed and they are firy Meteors There are also other Meteors formed of a mixture of both these fumes Firy Meteors are forms consisting of hot Exhalations attracted into the Airy Region having a hot quality which at length breaketh into a fire And of these are Simple Mixt. Simple firy Meteors are of divers sorts and different forms whereof there is little use in Coat-Armour except of the falling Star which of Blazoners is termed a Mullet which is an Exhalation inflamed above in the Air and stricken back with a Cloud whereby it is forced to run downwards in such sort that to the Ignorant a Star seemeth to fall There is oftentimes found upon the Earth a certain gelly fallen from above and dispersed into divers points which of many is taken to be the substance of the Falling Star or Mullet Note that such Mullets born in Coat-Armour are now most usual of five points but anciently you shall find them born of six points And so I have seen them in divers very old Rolls in the Custody of that worthy Knight Sir Richard Saint George now Clarencieux King of Arms whose industrious travel in the careful Collection of such Antiquities and his free communicating of the same to the studious in that way merits much From Mullets of six points we will proceed to those of five This Coat with due differences is now born by divers Gentlemen in Norfolk Suffolk and elsewhere In Norfolk by Sir Edmond Bacon of Gillingham Baronet Bacon of Egner Esq and by Francis Bacon of Norwich Esq. And in Suffolk by Sir Edmond Bacon of Redgrave aforesaid Sir Henry Bacon of Lounde in Lovingland Baronet Sir Nicholas Bacon of Shrubland-hall in Codenham Knight of the Bath Thomas Bacon of Friston-hall Esq Philip Bacon of Wolverton Esq and Philip Bacon of Ipswich Esquire Though the falling Star it self is but the Emblem of the inconstancy of high Fortunes and unsure footing of ambitious Aspirers which may shine for a time but in a moment fall headlong from the Heaven of their high hopes yet the Mullet in Heraldry hath a more noble signification it being supposed to represent some Divine quality bestowed from above whereby men do shine in Vertue Learning and works of Piety like bright Stars on the Earth and these are Stellae dimissae è Coelo Stars let down from Heaven by God not Stellae dejectae thrown down as those which the Tayl of the Dragon threw down which are Apostates from God and their Religion nor yet Cadentes stellae falling Stars such as the stroke of Justice and their own Demerits casts down from the height of their Honours This Coat with the Arms of Vlster is born by Sir Denny Ashburnham of Bromham in the said County Baronet Argent a Chevron Sable between three Mullets pierced Gules is born by Iohn Davies of Vine-hall in Sussex Gent. So much of simple firy Meteors so far forth as there is use of them in Coat-Armour Now of such
