Armys ther be also īdentyd ou̇wart and partyt. And they be calde
indentyd for theyre colowris as is sayd afore ar put oon in to an othir
bi the maner of mennis tethe. And it shaƚƚ be sayd of him that beris
theys armys in thys wyse. first in latyn thus.
Portat arma ꝑtita extransu̇so īdentata de auro et asorio as afore is
rehersit. Et gallice sic.
Il port ꝑtiee de trauers dor et dasor endentee. Anglice sic ¶ He berith
armys ꝑtyt ou̇warte indentytt of golde and asure
And to reherse moore of ꝑtyt armys ou̇warte it nedisnot for it is
rehersyt sufficientli in the rules next afore ī armys ꝑtyt on lengthe.
Therfore it shaƚƚ not be rehersytt here agayn. quia inutilis est
repeticio vnius ad eiusdem. and that is to say It is an vnꝓfitabuƚƚ
rehersyng of oon thyng to reherse the saame a gayn in the next sentans.
Therfore to speke moore of armys partit and figure theym: other of
ingraylit or irrasit inueckyt indentit nebulatyt and vndatyt: it nedys
not. for they be taght sufficiently ī the long way. ¶ And I beleue it
shaƚƚ be hard to fynde mony moo armys ꝑtyt afṫ the long way or ou̇wart
then ar rehersit a fore Neu̇ the lees if any be founde or sene. in theym
the same rules shaƚƚ be obseruit: as is rehersit a fore. and it is enogh
for aƚƚ armys on that man̄ to be blasit that any gentyƚƚ man berith ꝑtyt.
Off armys the wich ar calde cheiff or an hede I wiƚƚ shewe.
[Illustration: Cote Armour]
Sotheli certan men wolde: y^t theys armys after rehersitt shulde be
calde armys ꝑtyt. the wich certanli ir rfor y^t: that ther is no verri
ꝑticion of the colouris or any liclenes of dyuision of colouris.
Certanly in armys ꝑtit it is requyrit alway that the ꝑtys of the
colouris be equaƚƚ. and that is not trew in this figure. for the moore
ꝑte by mych is Siluer. Therfore ye shaƚƚ say of him that beris theys
armys thꝰ first in latyn. ¶ Portat de argento et caput scutti de asorio
cū duabus maculis ꝑforatis de auro. Gallice sic. ¶ Il port dargent vng
cheiff dasor et deux molettis ꝑtees dor. Et anglice sic. ¶ He berith
Siluer a Cheiff or a Cheftan of asure and ij. molettys ꝑforat of golde.
[Illustration: Cote Armour]
¶ And ye shaƚƚ knaw that ī theys armys the rule afore wretyn most be
considerit that is to say: that at the Coon it is to begyn to blase if
that colowre of the Coon be gretter or more copyous coloure in armys as
it is sayd afore And more ouer it is to be merkyt that no armis awe to
be calde ꝑtyt armis bot iff they be made of .ij. colouris onys partit
and no more for armys palit ar not callit: nor awe not to be calde
partyt armys aƚƚ thogh they be made of ij. colouris for thes colowris
not allonli onys bot dyuerse tymys ar partyt as here apperis And theys
armys be calde palit armys for they be made bi the maṅ of palis. And it
shaƚƚ be sayd of hym that beris theys armys ī latyn thus. Portat arma
palata de auro et asorio. Gallice sic. ¶ Il port pale dor et dasor.
Anglice sic. ¶ He berith pale of golde and asure.
