Note BU — AUBREY'S 'BRIEF LIVES' (continued 4)

Aubrey gives in trick the coat:—'parted per pale gules and argent, 3 bucks or; a crescent for difference,' wreathing it in laurel. On this he notes: (a) 'This coat was in his banner when he went into Scotland'; (b) 'Suckling of Wotton in Norfolke'; (c) 'vide Heralds' Office'; (d) 'Memorandum:—this Sir John <Suckling> is not to be found in the <Heralds'> Office: quaere Sir ... Bourman of White Hall.' Dr. Philip Bliss has added also the reference: 'vide part iii, pag. 4b,' i.e. MS. Aubr. 8, fol. 10v, the passage given supra.
