AS Venerable Ross, in his Mystagogus Poeticus, or, The Muses Interpreter hath un∣folded many Historical Mysteries of the Greek and Latine Poets, which in them∣selves were hard to be understood; so it hath been my chief care and study in this English Academy, to bring to light and explain those various Bearings and terms used by German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, English and British Heralds, and pro∣found Masters of Sciences; from whence I hope many useful, delightful, and rare Observa∣tions and Instructions may be gathered, which may content the most curious, as well as they have pleased him in the collecting, who is Your most Humble Servant Randle Holme.

CHAP. XVIII.

SInce the accomplishment of the Plates belonging to this second Book, there hath come several other things to my Knowledg, which as they per∣tain to Ar••••s, should have been set amongst them. But those being full, I have set these as additions to the former; desiring the kind Reader to accept of them in this Plate together, as well as if they had been in their right and proper Classes, or in those Chapters to which they do belong, as

I. He beareth Gules, a demy Arch-Angel issuing out of a Cloud, proper, double Winged, Or; from the lower part (of the Cloud) the Sun Beams. This is one way of Blazoning this Coar, others have it thus, a Cloud in Fesse, with the Suns resplendent Rays or Beams thereout issuing, proper, a demy Arch Angel Naissant, holding up its Hands on each side its head, Argent, crined, and double Winged, Or. But more briefly thus; out of a Cloud, a demy Angel ex∣tending of its hands, and the Sun Beams issuing cut below, all proper. Such an Angel or Arch-angel as this I have seen richly Embroidered upon a Cope, the Vestment of the Popish Priests, and is by them term∣ed a demy Cherub, or Seraphim, flying in the Clouds, because the Cherub if it be double Winged, hath two of them set on each side the head.

II. He beareth Sable, a Locust of Hell, Argent, Crowned and Winged, Or. If this were of one co∣lour or Mettle, then it were sufficient to term it either a Locust of Hell, or the hideous Monster Apollyon, who is said to be Crowned, and have the Wings of a Dragon, as St. Iohn doth describe them in Revelations, 9.2.3, &c. And there arose Smoak out of the Pit, as the Smoak of a great Furnace, and there came out of the Smoak Locusts upon the Earth, and to them was given pow∣er, as the Scorpions of the Earth have power to hurt. Now the form and shape of these Locusts he farther sets out in the 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 Verses, that they were like unto Horses prepared unto Battel, and on their Heads were as it were Crowns like unto Gold, and their faces were like the Fa∣••es of Men, and they had hair as the hair of Women,

[illustration]

and their teeth were as the teeth of Lions, and they had H••••••ergions like to Habbergions of Iron; and the sound of their Wings was like the sound of Chariots, when many Horses run unto Battel, and they had tails like to Scorpions, and there were Stings in their tails, and the King over them, which is the Angel of the Bottomless Pit, was named Ap••••••yon, and in the He••rew called Abaddon.

II. He beareth Argent, a Cressant Ingrailed on the inner side Gules. It is not only born Ingrailed, but 〈◊〉〈◊〉, and Inveck &c: on the inner side: But for the out part, I never found it otherwise than Plaine.

He beareth Azure, a Cost Nebulated Or; be∣tween two Cressants Argent: at the Points of that in Chief the Heads of a Flower de lis; and that in Base with Estoiles, or Stars. some in stid of a Cost, term it a Ribin, or a Wyer Nebulated; Because it runs in and out in forme of the bending line, Called Nebulae, or Cloudy like.

And for the Cressants thus charged, those with the Heads of Flowers de lis at the points or Horns, are usu∣ally termed Cressants, the Horns Flory, or Cres∣••••••ts at each point an Estoile. And thus it is usuall a∣mongst the Duch to have there Cressants at each point, to be 〈◊〉〈◊〉, Some with 3.5. or more Piles of Grasse; or with Flowers of severall sorts, or Leaves; or Else with 1.2. or 3. Feathers, and such like things, which are to be termed in Blazon as aforesaid.

This is contrary to the course or 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of the Bearing of the Sun Beams; for generally 〈◊〉〈◊〉 are made issuing or descending from the Clouds, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in this it shineth upwards. This was the Badg or C••g••izance of King Edward the Third of England.

VIII. He beareth Argent, the Sun Eclipsed, issuing out of the Dexter corner, the Beams, Or. Here though the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 hindred of its glorious light; yet we may suppose that the Body of the Moon, which is far less in quantity to the Sun (the same being in interpositi∣on) and coming betwixt us and the Body of the Sun, yet it doth not wholly divert the Beams thereof, and debar us of its Light, but something of the Glory will appear from the Beams, as in this example. The most mira∣culous Eclipse of the Sun that ever was, happened then when the Son of God was on the Cross; when all the Earth was benighted at Noon-day, Matt. 28.45. so that Dyonisius Areopagita, then a Heathen in the City of Athens, cried out either the World was at an end, or the maker of it was suffering some great Agony. This is born by Welday, of Wheelhurst.

This Coat pertained to Iohannes de Fon∣tibus

G. the like Cressant pierced with a Sword, de∣brused in the bottom, all proper. Born by Monsword. If the Sword had its point down, then it should have been termed pierced with a Sword (the point in base, or reversed,) debrused, &c.

☞ For it is to be noted, that the Sword, as it is an Emblem of Majesty, Government and Justice, is ever born with the point upright, which needs no mention∣ing, if otherwise it be placed in the Shield, then to men∣tion it.

XV. He beareth Argent, between two Bars, Gules, nine semicircular Clouds issuant, viz. 3.3. and 3 Azure. By the name of Leuthorst, of Brunswick in Ger∣many.

XVI. He beareth Gules, a Wild Ass, Or, collared, Sable Some call it an Horned Wild Ass: See it farther described in c. 9. n. 31. here I only give the true shape, with this further advice, that in all parts it doth resem∣ble the Ass, save in the short Horn fixed upon his forehead between the two eyes, and another hooked Horn on his Nose, bending backward, both being smooth and sharp pointed: Besides, he hath a bunch or swelling on the middle of his back, rising into a point like a Cop, Piramid∣wise; some affirm that it is whole hoofed, and others say it hath no hoofs at all, but hath feet with Toes like a Dog. This is born by the name of Wildman.

Others Blazon it, per base Water and a Rock enclo∣sing a Naked Man with his left hand on a Scatebra. This is born by the name of Rockwater.

XIX. He beareth Argent, a Grotto (or Garden Fountain,) proper. But because Grotto's have certain devices in them, it is the most certain way to term the particulars, as thus a Grotto compassing of a Craggy Rock or Hill, spouting up Water, which falleth in three places into a Fountain made Hexagon ways, or six square. This is Born by the name of Fountain∣dale, of Fountaindale.

XXIII. He beareth Gules, a Flame out of the loose

socket of a Candlestick, Argent. This Flame of the latter end of a Candle, is the resemblance of Old Age, for the Candle being consumed, the Socket is removed, and the glimmering Light extinguished, that a new and fresh Candle may be put in, and the Socket set again in its place; so one Generation passeth, and another cometh in his room. This is born by the name of Lightfoote.

B. three such A. born also by the said name of Sayler.

XXIV. He beareth Sable, a Lamp, Or, with a flaming Light therein, having a semicircle or refle∣••tion about it, proper: This is by some termed a Lamp of the Sanctuary, and well it may be so called, both because it is of that fashion, and also to distinguish it from other kind of Lamps. This is born by the name of Holywood.

S. 3 such O. born by Proudman.

XXV. He beareth Sable, a Cresset, Argent, Flame, proper. This is another kind of Lamp light, made with combustible Stuff fit for Burning, in a hollow Stone, or ••••ick, or Iron Dish, and is transported from place to place according as there is occasion to use its light. This Co••t belongs to the name of Heywood, and is quartered by the Family of Bowyer of Knipersley: And in this I cannot but admire the Ignorance of some Painters, who pretend much skill in Heraldry, who in place of a Dish or round Cresset Stone, with a Concave; have ••••de it a Cressant with a Flame in the hollow part of it; so taking a Cresset for a Cressant; which Er∣rour the principal of the Officers in the Heralds Office, would scarcely be convinced of.

A. 3 such S. Fired proper, is born by Chetwardly.

XXVIII. He Beareth Vert, an Armadillo, Or. This is a Creature much like a Sheep for bodily shape, but in the head and feet it differeth; for it hath a sharp Nose, round set ears, resembling a Cup, or round dish; the feet are cloven into Toes like a Dog. It is from the Nose to the Feet covered with scales, only the tail is hairy, and shaped like a Fox tail, reaching to the ground. Other Authors say it is a long and slender bo∣died Creature with short legs, having only sharp claws for toes and feet; the back, sides and belly scaled with a Losenge like scales; all the rest of the Body, Legs and Tail, set (as it were) with round Stones like scaliness. This is born by the name of Armodell.

A. the head couped G. born by Stelletto.

XXX. He beareth Argent, the head of a Lion Goat issuing out of the Sinister side, proper. This Beast hath the Face of a Lion with two short horns on the top of its head, bending backwards and smooth; the under chap, throat, and forepart of the neck, rough and hairy like a Goat; all the rest of the body, tail, legs, feet and hoofs like a Goat, but smoother haired. It is of a dark or dirty colour, the horns and hoofs more black∣er. This is born by the name of Nonsuch.

S. such a Hill, with two Candlesticks, O. with Candles in them flamant, is the Town Arms of Liech∣tenfels. Some term it on each side the middle of a Craggy Mountain two Candlesticks, &c.

XXXIV. He beareth triparted p••t Fesse, Air, Wa∣ter and Earth, the two Rocks called the Streights (or the Streights Mouth) on each a Fort or Tow∣er, Gules. This is termed the Streights, being the resemblance of those two great Promontories or Rocky Necks of Land, between which Ships must Sail before they can enter the Mediterranean Sea; the one lieth on the Coast of Spain, the other on Barbary. Some term this, two Rocks in the middle of the Water, fixt to

each side of the Escochian, &c. but term them how you will, they seem to me to answer those two dangerous pla∣ces, scituated between Italy and Sicilly, the one called Scylla, opposite to it is Charybdis: the which as the Marriner endeavoured to escape one, he fell into the other. It is a happy thing to take a straight course be∣tween the two Rocks, presumption, and dispair: for by sailing too near to either of them, millions of menkind have perished. This is born by the name Carvile.

The like is also born (with a Man on Horseback Armed Cape-a-pee: carrying a Banner and shield pro∣per) by the name of Volckensdorf in Holland.

It is a signification of that Rock Christ Jesus, against which the Gates of Hell shall not pre∣vail, Mat. 16.18. This is the Coat Armour of Hill.

XXXVI. He beareth Argent, three Shapournets Mounted, and removed, Gules; see lib. 1. chap. 9 numb. 115, 116. These are called also three French-hoods, because they are (by reason of a back turn) Copped on the top, but I should rather term them three Mole-hills double cast up, as if the Mole had cast up a new work on the old: or according to our own Coun∣try Speech a Cop copped: for we call every little Hill, a Cop. This is born by the name of Copland.

A. on a bend, G. three such A. is born by van H••velt in Saxony.

XXXVII. He beareth Argent, a French Escarb••n∣cle, Gules. This is made after the French fashion with∣out any staves, but engrailed about, and at every other point, a Flower de lis, which to distingush it from o∣ther sorts of Escarbuncles mentioned chap. 2. numb. 44, 45.

Some term this a Horshooe the ends reversed: others a twig (or sprig) embowed in form of an Horse∣shoo reversed Sable: each side adorned with three Roses, Gules; on short footstalks Vert. Some also I find to bla∣zon this Coat by the name of a Cressant, the Horns (or sharp points) revertant, or turning outward: a∣dorned as aforesaid, by the name of van Hogen in Hol∣land. The like is born by van Dalwick a Dutch Family the Horns Sable, each side beset with four Roses Argent and Gules, every other counterchanged.

The Feet are long knotty and hard, being three on a side and all joyned together in the top part of the Belly: all to be seen else of this blind Creature, is of a reddish colour. Pliny I suppose calleth them Blatta Flies, they fly or creep abroad only in the Night

Some term these kind of bearing, thus ex∣tending to the sides of the Sheild; a fencing with ••••akes, and windings; in other places, a Hayment of Stoes, or Clifts, filled with Briers, or Thorns. Some more brief, say a Hayment staked, and Nethered in base, and ra••••ed in the top or chief part. Born by the name of Parkeeper.

He beareth Sable, a fesse of Pallets, nether∣ed, or enwrapped at the bottom with Osiers, or Twigs Or: the middle part lower, to which is joyned a plank, or footstep set upon two stayes, or supports, Argent. This is of some termed, a nethering in fesse, with a foot passage (or foot bridg) in the middle of it. Thus I have given you the several ways of Pallets, Poles, or Stakes; wound about or fretted with Osiers, Twigs, or mindings: and how they are di∣versly termed. See lib. 1. chap. 9. numb. 20 and lib. 2. chap. 2. numb. 39.

LXVII. He beareth Sable, a Spaniel stretching out himself behind, Argent. This is the usual action of Dogs, that are rising or rousing themselves from

sleep: in which they make three postures, as

• First, the Fore-stretch, which is by standing upright in the stretch with the hinder Legs, and the Head, Neck, and Fore-feet extended out along upon the ground, which makes a hollowness between his Shoulders and Back, which is termed a cringing, or bowing of the Back, as numb. 21.
• Secondly, the Midle Stretch; which is by standing on all his Feet, drawing them together, and so lifting up his Back: this is termed in a Dog, to Rouse or — a Cat in this posture is said to be in his Ire, or is Exaspe∣rated, or made angry, as chap. 8. numb. 56.
• Thirdly, the Hinder stretch, which is by standing upright with the Fore-feet, and stretching out the hinder part of the Body and Feet, backwards along the ground, at which time he also lifteth up, or stretcheth out his Neck, and Head: as in this figure, numb. 67.

LXIX. He beareth Argent, a Lyons head and tail, Gules. So most terms it, but the French say, a Lyon Naissant, as if it were coming out of the Womb into the Field; but this doth not agree with our term Nais∣sant, which we use only to any kind of Beast or Bird, when it cometh out of the middle of an ordinary, and extendeth it self into part of the Field. Some again terms this a Lyons Head shagged, or maned; because it is neither couped, or erazed. This is born by Caras, a French Family: termed by them, De la Cars.

LXX. He beareth Azure, a Lions head issuing out of base, and looking upward, Or. Born by the name of Lingase, of Low-town.

LXXI▪ He beareth Or, a demy Lyon issuant in base Sable; the Neck engrailed Argent, at each point an Hawks bell. Such a Lyon out of a Crown is the Crest of Windterthur, in Bavaria: as the points of the ingrails are here adorned with Bells, so you will find them in many German Coats beset with Roundlets, Flow∣ers de lis, five Grass piles, Feathers, nay the Quils of them hung with Bells, Roses, Leaves, and seve∣ral sorts of Flowers, &c.

LXXII. He beareth Gules, a Lyons head cabosed, Or. This is termed so, because it hath some part of it hairy Mane remaining, which if it had not, it were a Leopards head, or face; and to call it a Lyons head g••rdant, it cannot be, except some part of the Breast were seen, as it is in all those kinds of bearings. So then the best term is to blazon it either a Lyons face, or Lyons head cabosed, or trunked. Born by the name of Lionhead, or Lionhard: the same (I belive) which we now pronounce Leon••rd, or Lenard. Such an Head as this out of a Coronet O. is the Crest of Manhode.

LXXIII. He beareth Sable, a demy Lyon Or: issu∣ant out of a flame of Fire, clothed in a Monks Coole (or Coat) or a Monks-hood, Argent. There are some who term this the Evil Spirit Marbas, issuing out of Hell flames, clothed in the habit of a Fryer, or Iesuit. Such a demy Lyon as this clothed in a Monks Coole, with two stones in his Paws, is the Crest of Scoppen, a Dutch Family.

Out of a Corronet, a Demy such O. with fire out of his Mouth and Ears. Is the Crest of Hander.

LXXIX. He beareth Gules, a Cows head, issuant from the Sinister side of the Escochion, Argent; Hornes, Or. This is called also an Irish Cows head by reason that breed in former times was very small, and their horns grew generally forwards bending after this form: and somtimes the points, or one tip of the horn meeting to the other. This is born by the name of Runtling.

LXXX. He beareth Argent, a Bonasus head, Rame horned, issuant from the Sinister side of the Shield proper, see chap. 9. numb. 12. This is born by the name of Scot. It is termed Rame horned because they grow bending like a Rams horn, and contrary to their own kind.

The first Figure is Blazoned, a Probo∣scide (or trunk) of an Elephant erected, issuant out of base, reflected, Or: at a file proceeding out of the Snowt, a Lambeaux crossed, and the side with two more, the first double, the other treble, Sable. Thus by some approved Heraulds; yet others will say a Trunk of an Elephant erected and reflected, fixed in base adorned in the Snout, and side, with three Fillets, at the first one, second double, and the other treble Lam∣beaux's crossed. See chap. 8. numb. 69. and Chap. 9. numb. 43. This is born by Don de Alfontoe.

This is a Beast of the shape of a Stag in all parts, saving the horns: which are two set together in the middle of the Fore-head, standing outward, having a little bending bending downwards to the Nose, the top side is Serrat, or cut in like a Saw: the rest smooth and sharp point∣ed. This is born by the name of Colupe, or Cantelupe.

A. the whole Beast G. horned O. is the Coat of Vanderben, of Francovia.

LXXXV. He beareth Argent, an Eagle degene∣rate, at gaze aloft, Wings Surgiant, holding up his left Foot, Gules. This is termed a degenerate Eagle, because it is going in a fearful manner out of the Field; not having courage to withstand the assault of its Enemy. Some term it a dastardly Eagle, with its Body in full aspect, &c. This is the Arms of Sir Iohn Coward, or Sir William Brag-much, and Doe Nothing. A Coat fit for such worthy Gentlemen.

LXXXVI. He beareth Azure, a Bustard tergiant, sergiant, Or. This is the most proper term for Birds, or Fowl rising with their Backs to sight. Yet Mr. Gwillims fol. 231. only terms it a Bustard rising. This posture cannot properly be said to be volant, al∣beit it seemeth to be (according to the opinion of some Blazoners) preparing to make its flight: besides the Feet are standing down, which were it flying, would be drawn up to its Belly. This is a kind of running posture for Birds, in which the Wing are sails, only to hasten them forwards, and ••end their speed. 3 Such is born by the nam•••• o•• N••vill.

A. a Fesse between 3 such G. is born by the name of Bustard.

LXXXVII. He beareth Argent, a Kettle (or Cal∣dron, by the French Armorist) Or: having the heads of three Serpents issuing out of it, Vert. 2 Such Caldrons in pale was born by Don Diego Lopez Pach∣eco, Duke de Escalona, Knight of the Golden Flecce, in time of Charles the fi••t in France. Some term these Swans Necks out of a Kettle.

XXXVIII. He beareth Gules, two Ostriches Fea∣thers in Salter Argent, Shaffed, Or. Some term them with their falls backwards; because the bending of the Feather is contrary to the usual way of bearing them, which is with the fall outwards.

☞ But this is to be noted that when the Ostritch Feathers are set any other way but upright, whether in bend or Fesse ways &c. The fall or doubling of the Feather, is drawn backwards; for therein it hath its own genuin and proper fall viz: Backwards, except there be several Feathers set together in triangles, quadrangles, or rounds, as in chap. 13. numb. 79, 80, 81. or with three falls in one Feather, as chap. 12. numb. 43. Two Fea∣thers in this form, were the Badge of King Henry the eight of England.

XXXIX. He beareth Azure, out of a round bodied, and Bell o•• wide mouthed Bottle, Or: three O∣strich Feathers Argent, Shafted of the second. Some

term 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Bottle the head of a Limbeck, or the head of a Distillatory reversed, because they are of this form; but in this there wants the Receiver, or Pipe, by which the Water distilleth; however to give it that name (with the addition of (sans the Receiver or Distilling Pipe) 〈◊〉〈◊〉 pass▪ This is the Crest of Feather pot, for breviati∣on 〈◊〉〈◊〉.

Po•• Fesse G. and A. the like Pot G. 3 Feathers A. is 〈◊〉〈◊〉 by the Lord Van Kaitschach, in Germany.

He beareth Argent, out of the top of a Bat•• 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Arrow head, Sable, a Plume of five Ostrich Feathers, Gules, shafted, Or; as in this example and the precedent you have, the Bottle and Phaon, or 〈…〉〈…〉 head, adorned with Feathers, so in like manner you will very often find them born with 〈◊〉〈◊〉, Flowers, Fruit, and the like. This is born by the name of Featherstich.

G. an Arrow or Dart on each side (where the Fea∣thers should be) three Ostrich Feathers A. the Barbe or P••••on erected O. is born by Borcken, or Bocken.

XCII. He beareth Gules, on an Altar, Or, between two Wings Elevated, Argent, a Cross Pomell Naissant, of the second. Some term this a Diamond or Losenge Altar, because the top stands Arras wise, and the Cross to stand on the middle of the Altar, be∣ginning first with it. This is born by the name of Holy day. Some call this a flying Altar, but that is no pro∣per term, as the next example will manifest.

XCIII. He beareth Vert, a Iugg Bottle, (or a Bottle with a foot, and by some termed a Flower∣pot,) Or, with two Wings elevated fixed to its sides, Argent. This Bottle cannot be said to be between the Wings, by reason they are not at the bottom or foot of it, but at the sides, from when some have termed it a flying Iugg or Bottle, especially from the name as beareth it, which is Flybottle.

Azure, such a Bottle Or, winged Argent; by the name of Liebeck, in Switzerland.

XCVI. He beareth Or, an Eagle displaid, wound∣ing or pluming of his Breast, Sable. By the name of Bambell, a Family in the Dukedom of Austria, in Ger∣many.

In the Sinister side of this square, I have caused an old fashioned Wing to be Engraven, only to shew the ancient manner of Drawing the Wing, each Feather standing at a distance from ••is fellow, having an Hair or Filament running between them, and so fixed to the Pinion; whereas our modern Wings are all drawn close, whether they be pendant or elevated in the points.

XCVII. He beareth Gules, a demy Swan, sans Wings, issuant in Base, Argent, with a fillet or Ri∣band from its mouth, compassing the Neck (after the manner of a Bridle Rein,) Sable.

XCVIII. He beareth Sable, a Peacocks tail, pro∣per, on the top of a Scull (or a dead Mans Scull) Argent, thrust through the cavities of the Eye holes (or Osbitary Bones) and out at the Basis of the Iaw, with two Swords Salterwise) the points fixed to a Bugle or Hunters Horn in Base Or. This is the crest of Mandelslow of Brunswick in Holland.

XCIX. He beareth Vert, a Winged Scorpion, the Tail Imbowed, Or. 〈◊〉〈◊〉 such Scorpions is born by the name of Stinger, or Stingwall; as I find in an old Roll of Arms. Of the Scorpion you may read more, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 ••hap. 9. numb. 87.

C. He beareth Argent, a Man-Lion, or Monloon, Gules. This is a Beast that hath the Face of a Man, the Ma••e and Body of a Lion, and the tail of a Ser∣pent, forked at the end; or by some, the tail of a ••corpion divided by insect lines; what colour it is I cannot be yet informed, but that it is a cruel Beast, and delights much in Mans flesh.

This Fly in its proper colour, is a kind of Lion tawny, being between a red and a yellow; six of these in point in fesse, with a Bezant between them is the coat of ••ungal▪ Yet some Blazon the Bezant to be in the Fess•• ••ompassed with six Dung flies, the heads in point, (or respecting each other) that is, the heads all set to••ards the round, in what part of the Field soever they are placed.

CIII. He beareth Argent, a Peacock head Ser∣pent (or a ••ris••ed Serpent) the Body torqued (or Torgant, close Imbowed, or wrapped together in the middle, Vert, Born by Cumbach. Such a Serpent as this B. devouring a Child, is the Arms of Maylandt. Others do Blazon it a Serpent Imbowed, the mid∣dle enwrapped round, or knotted debrused torqued, else a Serpent erected, and imbowed at the head, Tuberous (or Gibbous, knotted and swelled out) in the middle, and Torqued in Tail.

O. the like Serpent Torqued S. is born by Paradey∣se••.

CIV. He beareth Azure, a Serpent Torqued, Fretted with a long Cross, Or. Others Blazon it Christs Cross supporting the Brazen Serpent, because it was an Anti-type of the Passion and Death of our Saviour, for as Moses lifted up the Serpent in the Wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, Numb. 21.8.9▪ Iohn 3.14. that all that behold him by a live∣ly Faith, may not perish, but have Everlasting Life. This is the Cognizance or Crest of every true Believer.

Out of a Coronet a Staff Flory on the top, enwrapped with a Serpent B. between two Elephant Snouts G. is the Crest of Sibenburger, of Carinthia.

CV. He beareth Vert, a Serpent Bowed, Im∣bowed, Debrused, the head erected, the Tail Tor∣qued, Or. This is contrary to those mentioned chap. 9. numb. 4.77, 78. those having their heads extended, this elevated or lifted up. This is born by Bloore.

CVI. He beareth Argent, a Serpent double Now∣ed, Vert, born by Twize. This is termed double Nowed, to signifie its double fretting or winding it self over and under, more often than is used, as may be seen in the simple term Nowed or Nodee, chap. 9. numb. 73.74. and chap. 12. numb. 81. This is born by the name of Van Kobitz or Cobits. turned to the Dexter side in a Field G.

CVII. He beareth Argent, a demy Cherub, with Wings displaid, fixed upon the Leg of an Eagle Or. This I term a demy Cherub, because some part of the Body is visible, and that the Wings are in the place of the Arms. This is a common practice of the Dutch and German Heralds, to fix one thing upon another, or the half of a thing upon another species, being both of different natures. This is the Coat of Kotzaw, of Meych∣sniske, in the Netherlands.

CVIII. He beareth Argent, a Grashopper, Vert. I have spoken of the Grashopper formerly, but there I did not give the true form; in this place I shall say no more, but refer you to chap. 9. numb. 70. This upon a Torce or Wreath of his colours, is the Crest of that Worthy Gentleman, Sir Thomas Gresham, Knight, the Builder of that famous Fabrick, called the Royal Ex∣change, in Cornhill, in London.

In the sinister side of this quarter, I have set that little Vermine like Worm, called (as I suppose) a Weevile erected, see chap. 10. numb. 59. though others say it is like a Magott, and all black; see numb. 148.

CIX. He beareth Vert, a Frog, Or. By the name of Frogley, of Frogley. This is the true shape of it, con∣cerning which I have formerly written, chap. 10. numb. 15, 16. This is by some termed a Frog seiant, A. a Fesse between three of them Vert, is the coat of Paddock, a breviation from Ap Addock, a Welsh name Englified, as is very usual with them when they come to inhabit ••mongst the English, as Iohn ap Richard to be called Iohn Pritchard, William ap Hugh, to be called William Pugh, and the like.

CX. He beareth Sable, a Dolphin Naiant, Bow∣ed, Imbowed, Argent. This is termed also a Dol∣phin Naiant, Torqued, and Naiant flected and reflected. Three of them thus set in Pale, is the Coat Armour of Dolphinus, or Dolphin, an Italian.

G. the like A. Wings O. is born by Knutesford.

B. 3 such O. is the coat of Lant.

CXII. He beareth Argent, a UUolf Fish Hauriant, Imbowed, Azure.

☞ Note, That the Bowing or Imbowing of all Fish tails is ever bent inwards, which needs no other expression, but if the Bent be backwards, then to be mentioned, see chap. 16. numb. 12.13. and chap. 15. numb. 51. except in the Maremaid, &c.

CXIII. He beareth Argent, a Griffin Fish (sans Wings) Hauriant, Gules, Finned, Or. Some term these kind of Bearings Erected and Rampant, because that part belonging to the land Creature is in that po∣sture. As thus, Gules, a UUolf Fish erected, Or, Im∣bowed, Azure, by the name of Gundriphen in Saxony. The like with the Tail Imbowed erected, is his Crest.

Argent, a Griffin Fish erected sans Wings, Sable, the Tail Imbowed, Azure. These two last examples are misplaced by the Graver, which should have made them erected to the Dexter side. This is born by the name of Mestich, or Van Mestich in Silesia, a Province in Higher Germany.

Per Fesse A. and G. a Unicorn Fish erected Imbow∣ed counterchanged, is born by Niempscher.

CXIV. He beareth Gules, a Bugle or Hunters Horn, Argent, Fretted. Sable, out of the mouth a Salmons or Fish Tail, and the open end a Stags head, Or. By the name of Pogorsker in Germany. Some Blazon this a Fish imbowed with a Stags head; fret∣ted, or netted all over the Body; but I rather take it to be a Horn, mentioning that part first, which lieth next the dexter side, viz. the mouth of the Horn which hath

Parre••••s hath it; but since seeing the true Fish it self, I must relinquish that, and take to this; whose description is as followeth, some call it a Sea Bat. The cover of the head is an entire Bone curi∣ously wrought, as if it were pricked with the point of a Graver; it is depressed or flat on the top of the head, swelling out about the eyes, which are very large, and then compassing the eyes over the mouth and nose, ends in two sharp points under the roots of the Wings, on ei∣ther side the Gills in the hinder part of the head, the said Bone ends in two such like sharp points, with a round or hollow between them, like a Swallow tail; down the back and sides runs many sharp ridges, which being cut by Diamond or Losenge incision lines, make every ridge line to be divided or cut into sharp pricks, so that it cannot be stroked up the back for its sharpness, but down it may. It hath two thorny Fins on its back, one on the Belly near the tail; the tail is long, and ends in thorny shafts, the Fin between each being like a thin, clear transparent skin; at the lower part of the Throat is two crooked Bones, which ends in three long and sharp points; the Wings are like the Wings of a Bat or Rere∣mouse, the shafts are long and slender, the membrane thin and transparent, and coloured (if held between and the Light) like a Turky Feather divided into Bars, of a narrow, white, and a broader Bar, of a reddish grey, to look upon them otherwise, they are black above, and blewish under, with white shafts; they center all at the gills, and opening, are semicircular, with thorny points. From the setting on of the Wings comes forth two long and slender legs of a gristly (or Whalebone like) sub∣stance, as if four or five Sinews were all knit together, and at the end opening into so many toes or thorny points; with these feet, and the help of the two crook∣ed Bones under the Throat, it makes shift, and are as feet to creep to the Sea again, if at any time it chance to fly on the Land; all the lower part of the Belly from the mouth to the tail is white, with soft scales, made by Losenge like incision lines; the top of the head and back is of a dark earthy colour; the whole Fish is about the bigness of a large Mackarel.
