the port displayed of the field leaved, Arg.

And here is to be noted, that it is never blazoned a Castle, but when it extendeth it self crosse the whole field, and sometimes you shall find a single Tower not turretted, as the first, in the Coat of Sir Richard Mans∣field.

The third is Gules, three single arches Arg. their capitals and pedestals by the name of Arches.

The fourth Or, a bridge of three arches in fesse Gules, masoned Sables, the 〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉 proper, on it a fane Arg. by the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of Trowbridge of Trowbridge.

The fifth Sables, a Cheveron between three tents Arg. by the name of Tenton.

The sixth Arg. a sweep Azure, charged with a stone, or by the name of Magnal.

The seventh Or, a pillar Sables, enwrapped with an Adder Arg. by the name of 〈◊〉〈◊〉.

The eighth is Arg. three battering 〈◊〉〈◊〉 bar∣wayes proper, headed, Az. armed and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Or, by Robert 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Earl of Lyndsey.

The ninth Azure, three murthering chain∣shots Or, this is quartered by the Earl of Cum∣berland.

There are many other things born; as tilt∣spears, sometimes with penoncels, and some∣times without; Drums, Fifes, Trumpets, Can∣nons, Bows, Arrows, and the like: but their blazon is easie to every eye, that knows any thing of Armory.
