But these will want antiquitie: my Lord The seale of honour, whats a coate cut out But yesterday to make a man a gentleman? Your family as old, as the first vertue That merited an Escucheon, doth owe A glorious coat of armes, if you will sell now All that your name doth challenge in that ensigne, Ile helpe you to a chapman, that shall pay And powre downe wealth enough fort. Lor. Sell my armes? I cannot Madam. Cel. Give but your consent, You know not how the state may be enclind To dispensation, we may prevaile Vpon the Heralds office afterward.
