to Diamond joyned with Gold, whereof
each giveth honour to the other; and it may
well beseem a Bearer, whose sober and well
composed conditions are accompanied with
the lustre of shining vertues.
He beareth Sable, a
Be
••d, Argent, between
six Flowers de lis, Or,
by the Name of
Red∣mere.
This Coat-Ar∣mour
have I added in
regard of the variety
of bearing hereof from
those before handled,
inasmuch as in this one
Escocheon is comprehended the full number
contained in both the former; as also to make
known in what manner, these or other char∣ges
of like bearing must be placed, the same
being born entire: But if they were strewed,
or (as I may better terme it) seminated all o∣ver
the Field, then were it not a Bend between,
but upon, or over them; forasmuch as in such
bearing only the halves of many of them, or
some greater or lesser portion of them would
appear as well under the Bend, as in the limits
or Edges of the Escocheon.
He beareth Argent,
on a Cross, Sable, five
Flowers de lis of the
first: This Coat-Ar∣mour
in the time of K.
Henry the Fourth, ap∣pertained
unto
Robert
le Neve of
Tivetishall
in the County of
Nor∣folk
(as appeareth by
Seals of old Deeds and ancient Rolls of Arms)
from whom are descended those of that Sur∣name
now remaining at
Aslactun, Witching∣ham,
and other places in the said County. If
this Cross were seminated all over with Flow∣ers
de lis, shewing upon the sides or edges
thereof but the halves of some of them, then
it should be blazoned Semy de Flowers de lis;
and the like is to be observed when they be so
born on any other Ordinary or Charge.
He beareth Sable, on
a Cross between four
Flowers de lis, Argent,
five Pheons, Azure, by
the Name of
Banks,
and with the Arms of
Vlster, is the Coat-Armour
of Sir
Iohn
Banks of the
Friers in
the Parish of
Aylesford
in
Kent, Baronet.
Sable, three Lozenges,
Argent, on a Chies, Or,
as many Flowers de lis,
Gules, by the Name of
Pedley, and is the Coat-Armour
of Sir
Nicholas
Pedley of
Tetworth in
Huntingtonshire, Kt.
He beareth Argent, on
a Saltire, Sable, five
Flowers de lis, Or. This
Coat-Armour pertained
to Sir
Thomas Hawkins
of
Nash in
Kent, Kt. I
have inserted this Esco∣cheon,
not only to shew
you that this Flower is
born upon this kind of
Ordinary, but also to give demonstration that
the Saltire charged containeth the third part
of the Field, according to the Rule formerly
given.
The Field is Sable,
three Lilies slipped,
their stalks, seeds,
blades and leaves, Ar∣gent.
These Arms per∣tain
to the Colledge of
Winchester, founded by
the renowned Archi∣tect,
William Wick∣ham,
Bishop of
Winton,
who contrived those many and most curious
Castles and other Buildings of King
Edward
the Third's. And besides this goodly Colledge
of
Winton, built another magnificent Colledge
(called the
New Colledge) in the University
of
Oxford: two such absolute Foundations, as
never any King of this Land did the like.
This
Wickham having finished the Castle of
VVindsor, caused to be inscribed on the Wall
of the round Tower,
This made VVickham;
which caused such as were envious of his high
favour, to suggest unto the King, that he ar∣rogated
all the honour of that great Work to
himself: but he pleasantly satisfied the King,
saying,
That he wrote not, VVickham made
this; but,
This made VVickham; because by
his service in these Works he had gained his
Sovereign's Princely favour.
