1. This Chapter is a prosecution of the latter end of the foregoing; for as that part treated of Houses, Cottages, Towns and Cities; so this will set forth to us all sorts and forms of Castles, with the parts and members thereof, as they are born in part or in whole, in Coats of Arms. Also of all manner of Churches, Chappels and Cathedrals; with all the Parts, Utensils, and Sacred Goods Dedicated, and of Holy Use thereunto belonging.
