Beareth Sables a Griffin Rampant, Or.
This house was sometimes the abiding Man∣sion of the Noble Family of Gray, from whence the name of the house is deduced. It is situate within the Mannor Poorpoole, a Prebendary antiently belonging to the Cathedral Church of St. Paul, London. In the reign of King Ed∣ward the third, the Gentlemen Students of that Society (as is confidently affirmed) took a Grant of this house from the said Baron Gray who lived in those dayes. And it is held pro∣bable that the Grayes Armes have been anciently by this fellowship maintained; and are still taken up, and kept as the proper and peculiar Ensigne of that Colledge or house, and thus the same is found portraited.

But now of late yeares this honorable Socie∣ty have assumed for their proper Coat Armor, or Ensign of honor, A Griffin Or, in a field Sables.
