And some knyght is wedded to a lady of royal blode; she shal kepe the estate that she was before. And a lady of lower degree shal kepe the estate of her lordes blode / & therfore the royall blode shall haue the reuere{n}ce, as I haue shewed you here before. ¶ Also a marshall muste take hede of the byrthe, and nexte of the lyne, of the blode royall. ¶ [g] Also he must take hede of the kynges offycers, of the Chaunceler, Stewarde, Chamberlayne, Tresourer, and Controller. ¶ Also the marshall must take heed vnto straungers, & put them to worshyp & reuerence; for and they haue good chere it is your soueraynes honour. ¶ Also a Marshall muste take hede yf the kynge sende to your souerayne ony message; and yf he send a knyght, receyue hym as a baron; and yf he sende a squyre, receyue hym as a knyght / and yf he sende you a yoman, receyue hym as a squyer / and yf he sende you a grome, receyue hym as a yoman. ¶ Also it is noo rebuke to a knyght to sette a grome of the kynge at his table.

[+Wynkyn .de. worde’s+ device here.] [Sidenotes: Here ends this Book printed by Wynkyn de Worde. A.D. 1513.] NOTES. Wynkyn de Worde introduces some dishes, sauces, fish, and one wine, not mentioned by Russell. The new _Dishes_ are-- _Fayge_ (p. 157, l. 10). This may be for _Sage_, the herb, or a variety of Fritter, like _Fruyter vaunte_ (p. 157, l. 2; p. 159, l. 24), _fruyter say_ (p. 159, l. 24), or a dish that I cannot find, or a way of spelling figs. _Fruyter say_, p. 159, l. 24. If _say_ is not for _Sage_, then it may be a fish, contrasted with the _vaunte_, which I suppose to mean ‘meat.’ _Sey_ is a Scotch name for the Coalfish, _Merlangus Carbonarius_. Yarrell, ii. 251.
