The seventh is Or, on a bend Az. three Ka∣therine Wheels Arg. by the name of Rudhall.
The eighth Az. three levels with their plu∣mets, Or, by the name of 〈◊〉〈◊〉.
The ninth is Arg. three bezants, on a chief 〈◊〉〈◊〉, by the name of 〈◊〉〈◊〉.
And here we are to take notice, that if these roundals are charged in counter-changes as be∣fore, then they are only called Roundals: but if any other 〈◊〉〈◊〉, as in this example, they are of a various blazon according to their colors, as thus.

| Gules, | Vorteuxes, | ||
| Ligh-tblew, | Hurts. | ||
| Vert, | Pomeyes, | ||
| Purpure, | Golps, | ||
| Teune, | Oranges, | ||
| Sanguine, | Gules. |
