A Knight of Surrey haveing wasted a great E∣state at Court, and bringing himself to one park, and a fine house in it, was yet ambitious to enter∣tain the Queen at it; and to that purpose had new painted his gates with a Coat of Arms and Motto written thus, OIA VANITAS in great golden letters: the Lord Cecil offering to read it, desired to know of the Knight what he meant by OIA? who told him it stood for Omnia. To which Cecil replied, Sir, I wonder haveing made your O∣mnia
so little, you should notwithstanding make your Vanitas so large.
