that yt was onlye vsed of the Clergye, you shall fynde in a record of the Towre that yt was also one ornamente of the kings garmente, since the Conqueste, for, in Rotulo Patentiu{m} 6. Joh{ann}is in Dorso (in whiche the kinge comaunded the templers to deliuer suche jewells, garmentes, and ornamentes as they had of the kings in kepinge,) are these wordes: “Dalmaticam de eodem samitto vrlatani de orfreyes et cu{m} lapidibus.” Whiche is to saye, the kings Dalmaticall garmente of the same samitte (spoken of before, whiche was crymsone,) vrled or bordrede (suche as we nowe calle garded) withe orfreyes. [Sidenote: Oundye and Crispe meaneth wavy like water.] fforthlye Oundye and Crispe is by you expounded slyked and curled, whiche sence althoughe yt may beare after some sorte; yet the proprytye of the true sence of oundye (beinge an especiall terme appropriate to the arte of Heraldye) dothe signifye wavinge or movinge, as the water dothe; being called vndye, of Latyne vnda for water, for so her haire was oundye, that is, layed in rooles vppone and downe, lyke waves of water when they are styrred with the winde, and not slyked or playne, etc. [Sidenote: Resager is ratsbane or arsenic.] ffyftlye You expounde not Resager, beinge a terme of Alchymye; as yo{u} leave manye of them vntouched. This worde sholde rather be resalgar, wherefore I will shewe yo{u} what resalgar ys in that abstruse science, whiche Chawcer knewe full well, althoughe he enveye againste the sophisticall abuse thereof in the chanons Yeomans Tale. This Resalgar is that w{hi}che by some is called Ratesbane, a kynde of poysone named Arsenicke, which the chimicall philosophers call their venome or poysone. Whereof I coulde produce infynyte examples; but I will gyve yo{u} onlye these fewe for a taste. Aristotle, in Rosario Philosophoru{m}, sayethe, “nullu{m} tingens venenum generatur absq{ue} sole et eius vmbra, id est, uxore.” whiche venome they call by all names presentinge or signifyinge poysone, as a toode, a dragon, a Basilyske, a serpente, arsenicke, and suche lyke; and by manye other names, as “in exercitacio{n}e ad turbam philosophorum,” apperethe, wher aqua simplex is called venenu{m}, Argentum vivum, Cinnabar, aqua permanens, gumma, acetu{m}, urina, aqua maris, Draco, serpens, etc. And of this poysone the treatyce _de phenice_,[7] or the philosophers stoone, written in Gothyshe rymynge verse, dothe saye; Moribunda, corporis virus emanabat quod materna{m} faciem ca{n}dida{m} fœdabat.
