The answere of Garter & Clarenciaux
Kinges of Armes to a Libellous Scrowle against
certein Arms supposed to be wrongfully given

Right Honorable. The exceptions taken in the Scrowle of Armes exhibited
doe concerne these Armes granted or the persons to whome they haue bin granted.
In both right Honorable Wee hope to satisfie your Lordships in perticuler yf with your fauorable
leaue wee may present to your Honorable and graue considerations. The auncyent
& manifold authorites granted by the famous Princes of this Realme vnto our
Predecessors. As in the Reignes of king Henry 5th and Henry 6th vnto
William Bridges knight then Garter. who gaue sundrie blasons of Armes
And in the time of king Ew 4th to Sir John Wriothesley Garter, and also
king Henry 7th and king Henry 8th to other Garters, as Sir Thomas
Wriothesley Sir Christopher Barker and Sir Gilbert dethick
And to all such as had the office of Clarenciaux in their times as most
plainely may appeare vnder the seales of those famous Princes authorite
to giue Armes, aswell to parsons spirituall preferred to places of degrees
of honor and worshippe, by grace, vertue, & learninge. As to persons temporall for
their seruice done to the kinges Maiestie and such as haue bin aduanced to Offices
of dignitie or increased in riches & possessions able to maintaine the same
Whereby may be proued what persons are capable of Armes. And that the
granting, exemplifieng and testimonialles for Armes are to vs ex antigua
conseuetudine. Wherefore relieing vppon such and other presidentes and the
Queenes Maiesties great seale of England wee doe conceaue some greife, that
exception should be taken against vs for some fewe ^^Armes more then against
others that haue giuen two or three thowsandes. And that we should not vse the
libertie like as in time of our Predecessors hath bin vsed. Whereas, in these
times vnder her Maiesties happie gouer[n]ment hath and doth daily (in lieu of many
extinct) breed diuers worthy persons qualified to beare Armes aswell
as in former ages ffrom whence no doubt great persons shall in succe=
ding times arise. who will and must deduce their originall and descentes from
the memorialls of the places and seruices which their Parentes held in the time
of her Maiesties Raigne for it is said Qui nunc Noui, videntur erunt
vetustissimi. /

Norton: [Norton coat of arms in left margin]
Mortimer: [Mortimer coat of arms in right margin]

This coate is not deduced from the Armes of Mortimer Erle
of Marche but is different both in coulour number of Barrs & the Cantonnes
gironnes. And yet in the times when those Mortimers florished most both Edesin and
Hagely bare then coates of Armes neerer in shew to that of
Mortimer without any contradiction. Neither was their any
exception taken in those ages. When the Honor of Armes
florished most. for the resemblance of Coates of Armes. But
for the Indentity of Armes, or the selfe same Armes to be borne
of by two of distinct names and families. As in the memorable
controuersies betweene Carminow. and. Grasvenor. Sir The=
obald de Gorges, and Warbleton, Sitfilit, and Fakenham,
Singleton and Baud. And yet this Patent hath long since
bin recalled and cancelled with the parties consent.

[catchword] There is no more

Lound: [coat of arms in left margin]
Echingham: [two coats of arms in right margin]

There is no more offence by the descendantes of Sir Peter
Lound to be taken then in former time the family of Sir
William Echingham a Baron sommoned to the Parliament
tempore Edw. 2. and their descendantes might haue taken at Sir
Peter Lound, for bearing their coate with a Bordure Gould
And yet the Canton of Bray being assigned by the consent of
his wife the Lady Hart, one of the coheires of the last Lord
Bray. Like as the heire of Anthony Lord Lucy assigned
her Armes to be quartered with the Armes of Henry Percy
her husband Erle of Northumberland. And yet this man
can produce that he is extract of that familie by a branch
of that aunciant name of the Loundes./

Hall [coat of arms in left margin]
Halle. [coat of arms in right margin]

Whereas Mr Hall by relation of his parents deduceth himselfe
to be descended of that name of Hall of Bradford in Wiltshire
But vncertaine with what difference he might beare that
Armes these indifferent coulors weare assigned to him
And herein & in all such like cases wee as our Predecessors
in their actes and visitacions are to relie vppon the creditt
and report of persons & their memorialls being worthy to be
beleeued.

Shakespere [coat of arms in left margin]
[three coats of arms in right margin: Mauley, Harely, and one with three horseshoes on bend]

It may aswell be said that Harely who beareth gould
a Bend betweene two Cotizes sables, and all other that Or. and
Argent. a bend sables vsurpe the coate of the Lo. Mauley
As for the Speare in Bend is a patible difference. And the
person to whome it was granted hath borne magestracy and
was Iustice of peace at Stratford vpon Avon he maried
the daughter and heire of Arderne and was able to maintaine
that estate./

Clerke [coat of arms in left margin]

Mr Clerke of Ardington a man brought vp in the lawes
hauing landes and heritages maried the daughter of
Mr Wiseman late Sheriffe of the countie of Barkshire
he produceth these Armes engraued in an auncient seale
of Armes from his Auncestors and not knowing in what
coullors to beare and vse them. desired of vs to haue the
coullors and a Creast or cognisance assigned to him. And
making good proofe that his great Grandfather maried
the daughter and heire of T. Champenny wee did con=
firme & exemplife the same. As is lawfull for vs to doe./

Peake: [coat of arms in left margin]

Mr Peake is no Grasier but he is is [sic] a Gentleman
of Grayes Inne well qualified in all good study and lerning
and of Competent liuing. But he made good proofe
that this coate of Armes was borne by his great grand=
father Iohn Peake of Thurlangton in Leicestershire
wee allowed and testified the same. and without
Patentes contrary to his report./

[catchword] This Walter Cowley.

Cowley [coat of arms in left margin]

This Walter Cowley who as it cannot be denied to be
descended of that howse of Cowley in the countie of Staff.
vntruly called Ironmonger being vnwilling to preiudice
the heires of that howse, accepted the Moulletes to be added
vpon the bordure of his auncient coate of Armes by our
aduice and consent.

Murgatord [coat of arms in left margin]

The late Erle of Essex, Erle Marshal of England
commaunded mee and Clarenciaulx, to giue these Armes
to Murgatord sometime secretary then Steward to the
most reuerent Lord the Archbishoppe of Canterbury
a Iustice of peace hauing other office of dignitie with these
expresse wordes: A Secretary to a councellor of Estate
doth serue the Estate & therefore qualified to beare Armes
And his Lordship wrotte also in that behalfe as Mr Temple
can testifie

Whitmore [coat of arms in left margin]
Whitmore [coat of arms in right margin]

Mr Whitmore a rich Marchant of London borne in
the countie of Salope where he possessed faire landes and
where in Chesheire that name and familie is farr dispersed
who all beare this coate of Armes aunciently. Wherevnto
for a more especiall difference at his funeralls being wor=
shipfully entrered at London was added the Cinquefold in
the canton with the badge or cognisance conuenient. Neither
doth trades derogate more form Gentrie more in
England then in Venice &c.

Hickman: [coat of arms in left margin]
Birmicham [coat of arms in right margin]

This coate is not the Lord Birmichams now of Ireland. ffor
that is partie per pale, indented. Argent and, Sables. The
parson to whome it was granted. and that vppon some
proofe by him produced, Is a doctor, in the ciuill Lawe
And they by Rescripts of Emperors are called Clarissima 
dignitate constituti. And they hould for a principle. That 
Meritum Scientiae Iuris Ciuilis, ipso Iure reddit eius peritum
Nobilem.

Elkin: Lee: [their two coats of arms in left margin]

[unlabelled coat of arms in right margin]

Mr Elkin and Mr Lee who are depraued as base trades
men. It is well knowen that they haue bin both Sheriffes of London
and Mr Lee shortly to bee Maior of that Cittie. So that
it cannot be denied, but vnto men of that place of Ciuill
gouer[n]ment such honor of Armes hath bin allwayes allowed
in former ages.

Thwaites [coat of arms in left margin]

It is certaine likewise, That Mr Thwaites was an Alder=
man of London and had this coate without the flower de
luce giuen to him by a Herauld that hath no such autho=
rite. Which if it had passed by his warrant without
the authorite of vs kinges of Armes happely it had
neuer bin called in question yet such are daily giuen
and passed without our knowledge./

[catchword] As for the other

Withins [coat of arms in left margin]

As for the other nine coates ffirst Withins, a worshipfull
citizen and Alderman of London The Armes were allowed
at the request of the herauldes for his ffuinerala to their
profittes.

Gibson [coat of arms in left margin]

Mr Gibson, a man of honest parentes Iustice of Peace
Alderman and Sheriffe of Norwich of landes and

which he made for Mr Harborne./
