He hath the Superiority allowed him by all Secular Princes; and whereas other Princes of Regal Authority are Crowned but with one Crown, he is Crowned with three, the first of Iron, which he receiveth of the Bishop of Callen at Aquisgrave; the second of Silver he receives at Modena, from the Bishop of Millan; the third of Gold, wherewith he is crowned at Rome by the Pope.The Ensigns of his Imperial Dignity, are a Ring and Bracelet, a Cross, a Launce, a Sword, a Scepter, a Mound and a Crown, with Royal Robes, and is stiled Sanctissimus, Clarissimus, Gloriosissimus, Eminentia & Magnificentia, &c.The Emperour of Russia is not crowned, but is adorn∣ed with a Rich Cap of Purple: Neither is the Greek Sul∣tan, or Emperour of Turkie; but invested with a migh∣ty Rich Tulipant; and though the Emperour have no Diadem, yet the Sultaness is adorned with a Rich Crown.As for other matters of State and Regality pertaining to the Emperour, as the Ceremonies of his Coronation, Manual Servants and Officers of State, &c. being such will be treated on in the Office of a King, I shall there∣fore refer such things to that place.I. He beareth Topaz, a King in his Royal Robes (or Parliament Robes, or Robes of State,) hold∣ing in his right hand a covered Cup, and in his left a Sword, all proper. In the Blazoning of Kings, to name a King, is sufficient; for it is to be supposed, that he is both Crowned, and in his Habiliments of State. Yet Mr. Gwillim to make all sure, Blazons it thus, a Crown∣ed King in his Robes, Ruby, doubled Ermine, su∣staining or holding a covered Cup in his right hand, and a Sword in his left, Argent: They are born sometime in Armour under their Mantle; and sometimes the Robes are of contrary colours to what our English Kings have them; then in such cases, the several parts of the Habi∣liments of State ought to be named.G. 3 Beasants, each charged with such a King, is the Coat of Tho. Lloyd, alias Lyld, the 18 Bishop of Ely.A. a Kings head with an Imperial Crown, couped at the Shoulders, is the Coat of Graveneck.Out of a Coronet, a demy King with an Imperial Crown, Robes Gules, Lined, Ermin, holding a Scepter and Mound, proper, is the crest of Van Herberstein.II. He beareth Topaz, a King Enthroned, in his Robes, with his Ensigns of Majesty, all proper. This is sufficient, if (as I said before) the Robes be Scar∣let, and the Linings Ermine, as our King of England hath them; but if they be of any other colour, then follow Gwillims Blazoning, viz. He beareth Topaz, a King Enthroned on his Seat Royal, Crowned, Scep∣tered, and Mounded of the same, Invested or Ro∣bed Saphire, Lined, (or the cape and turnings up of his Robe) Ermine. A third Blazon take thus, a King in his Robes of State, Saphire, Faced or Lined, Ermine; Crowned, holding a Sword in his right hand, and a Mound in his left, of the first; Enthroned or set in his Seat Royal, proper; these are the Arms of the City of Sivil, in Spain.This Coat may be yet shorter Blazoned, as a King in his Throne of Majesty.The Robes and Ensigns of Kings.A Crown, it is an ancient Ensign of Regal Autho∣rity, having a Cap of Dignity within it of Purple or Scarlet Velvet, turned up or doubled with Ermine. It is the Emblem of Triumph and Victory.A Scepter is another Ensign of Soveraign Com∣mand, and is every where spoken of both in Scripture and Prophane Stories; and the extending thereof a spe∣cial note of the Royal favour of the King, as we see in Hester 15.14. It betokens Peace and Justice mixed with Mercy and compassion.A Ring, which is put upon his Finger, as a sign of Faithfulness and Integrity.A Mound, this is a third Ensign of Authority; it is a Globe with a Cross; it hath been in use amongst us since Edward the Confessor, and is placed in the left hand; the Cross denotes his Faith, and the Globe his Empire or Rule both by Sea and Land, as it is said of Iusitman, who was the first Emperour that ever had it.A Bracelet put about his Arm, denoting Charity and richness in good Works.A Mantle of Estate, which is a long Scarlet Cloak or Mantle, Lined with Ermine Furr, which is so arge as to draw some Yards on the ground, if the Train or Tail of it were not born up.The Cordals or String of the Mantle, with its But∣tons and Tassels, all made of Purple Silk and Gold Thread interwoven after the manner of a Cord.A Robe of Estate, which is for Awfulness and Ro∣verence.A Garter, which is a Rich Jewel made after the form of St. George on Horseback slaying of the Dragon, all beset with Diamonds, and hung in a Blew Silk Rib∣bon, hich is the Badge of his Knighthood of the Gar∣ter, or order of St. George.A Kirtle, or loose Robe, worn under the Mantle of Estate, of Purple colour, overlaid with Borders, or Welts of Gold; and doubled with the Ermine Skins.A Surcote or Gown, of Purple, lined and welted, or edged with Ermine Skins.A Belt or Girdle of fine Silk, to tye the under Gown or Surcoat about the middle. This is called the Girdle of Honour.A Spur, or a Gilt Spur, which was put upon his Heel in token of Knighthood.A Sword of State, which is a Rich Gilt Sword, with an Imbrauthered Scabbard which is born before the King, and is an Emblem of Majesty and Magistracy, Honour and Rule.A Naked Sword, carried before him, as a token of Vengeance and the Punishment of Rebellion, 1. In the Laity. 2. In the Clergy.A Naked pointless Sword, betokening Mercy, Pity and compassion.A Mace, carried before the King is the Emblem of Justice.A Throne or Seat of Majesty, is a Chair of Gold richly Imbossed, mounted upon Steps, or an Ascent of 0
