Knaw ye more ou̇ that yit by side theys armys the wich I haue spoke of
afore w^t borduris: ther is an other bordure that is calde a bordure
gobonatit. as here it shaƚƚ be shewyt ī thys scooehon next folowyng. And
hit is calde gobonatyt for hit is made of ij. colouris quadratli ioynyt.
y^t is to say of blacke &̄ white. & of hym that beris theys armys ye
shaƚƚ sey in latyn thus as foloyis ¶ Portat de argento & duas bendas de
nigro cū una bordura de nigro et albo gobonata. Et gallice sic. ¶ Il
port dargent deux bendee et vng bordure de sable et dargent Anglice sic.
¶ He berith siluer ij bendys of Sable with a bordure gobonatit of Sable
& siluer
¶ And thys same bordure baare that nobuƚƚ prynce the duke of Gloucestyr
brothyr to that nobuƚƚ weriowre Kyng henri the fifth: the wich royaƚƚ
duke bare in his armys the hooƚƚ armys of Fraunce and of Englond quartly

Ther be yit borduris ī armys of ij. colowris inueckyt. as here in thys
figure apperis. and hit is calde a bordure inueckyt for hit is made of
.ij. colowris to gedyr inueckyt. And ye shaƚƚ say of hym the wich berith
theys armys in latyn thus. Portat arma quarṫiata de rubio et auro cum

Bott ī thes borduris ther is a grete differans emōg men pretendyng theym
exꝑte and wyse in thys sciens as specially it is opyn ī tharmys in olde
tyme of therle of Marche wheḋ they shulde be calde borduris or not. as
here ī thys figure. And certan men say y^t men not puttyng a merueles
differans of blasyng say: that the forsayd Erle of marche the wiche wos

barree girone dasor & dor et vng escu simple dargent. Anglice sic. ¶ He

¶ And this opynyon afore rehersit in the blasyng plesyt many a man the
