Willoughby Bertie, 3rd Earl of Abingdon (1692-1760)
375<Willoughby> Bertie, filius primus Jacobi Bertie, 2ndi filii Jacobi, comitis de Abington, natus Westmonast. 28 die Novembris, 2h. P.M. 1692.—The child is yet living, notwithstanding the 8th house376: mend the figure, but the time is right.
377I know not how to retreive the fashion or shape of the old engine of the battering-ramme, but from the coate of the Bertyes, which is ‘or, 3 battering rammes barrewise,’ as in the margent, the timber is proper, the head azure, the hornes and ironworke gilded.
378Memorandum:—the battering ramme, the armes of Bertie, hung in equilibrio in an engine they call the triangles—from Mr. Nicolas Mercator: vide Bertie’s coate in primo volumine379. See[380] the old glasse windowes in Aldersgate street—from Mr. <Edward> Bagshawe.
