CHAP. XIX. Of living Creatures, Trees, Flowrs, &c. and the General Laws of Heraldry relating to them. (Book 19)

THere are some things proper to Heraldry, as the honorable Ordi∣nars, and of these I have treated particularly: but there are other things, which have only relation to Heraldry, as they are exprest as bear∣ings in the Shields of particular persons; as Planets, Meteors, Animals, Trees, Flowers: And thus, all things may be here comprehended, and Heralds to swell their Books, treat of those, either to show why such things are born: (But since that depends upon the actions done by the bear∣ers, that is rather the part of an Historian, then a Herald: But however in the second part of this work, wherein I have given an account of our Families and Arms, I have set down the reason of every Coat, as far as my enquirie can reach) Or else others make long discourses of the nature of the things born; but that belongs rather to a natural Philosopher, then to a Herald.

I am then resolv'd only to trouble my self with the general Laws to be observ'd in bearing these things, which I have reduc'd to these Rules.

1. The first is, that every thing be plac'd in its natural form, if there be no special reason for doing otherwise. For nature is the chief model, and pattern of Art in all things, and Art only imitates Nature.

2. That if a rapacious creature is to be set down, it is to be exprest in the posture that is most devouring; because then it is presum'd to shew most strength: and thus a Lyon is to be exprest, rampant, &c. Bart. de in∣sig. num. 16. animalia fera debent exprimi in act•• ferociori.

3. Other creatures that are not wild and ravenous, ought to be exprest in their noblest position, as a Horse salient, a grey-hound running, &c.

[illustration]

4. Creatures, that are remarkable for any posture, ought to be born in that posture, as a Lamb passant, because it is naturally simple; a Serpent noué, or circling in a knot, because it is remarkable for that forme.

5. All Creatures must be looking to the right side of the Shield, and must have their right foot first; Which things Bartol founds upon, L. Qui clavum § item sciendum F. de aedilit. edict. Yet I found it rather upon the general opinion that men have, that the heart is in the right side, and that therefore the right side in man is strongest, and so he has made it the no∣blest side in all other things.

6. As the right side is nobler then the left, so the upper part is nobler then the lower: and therefore things that must look either up, or down, ought rather to be design'd looking upward.

7. But if two Creatures or things be looking to one onother, then these Rules are not to be respected, Bartol. num. 22.

8. When beasts are to be painted upon banners, the noblest position is to look to the staff; because that is the support of the banner: If upon hou∣ses that have chimneys, the noblest position is to look to the fire, because generally the worthiest persons are plac'd next to the fire: if there be no chimney, the noblest posture is to be plac'd, looking from the door: if upon Caparasons, they ought to look to the head of the horse, or beast that bears them.

IX. If they be born to expresse a Historie, they are to be painted in the posture that best expresses the historie.

X. In some things custom has allow'd a peculiar position in Heraldry; which ought to be observ'd: as two Keys are to be born like a Saint An∣drews cross, because the Keys born by the Pope, are so painted: A Sword is to be born in pale, because the Sword of Honour is so carry'd before Kings and Magistrats. But these postures, and the special terms are to be found in Guilims, Carter, Morgan, and others; and many of them may be known by the explication of the Coats here set down.
