Willoughby Bertie, 3rd earl of Abingdon (1692-1760).

[375] Bertie, filius primus Jacobi Bertie, 2ndifilii Jacobi, comitis de Abington, natus Westmonast. 28 die Novembris, 2h.P.M.1692.—The child is yet living, notwithstanding the 8thhouse[376]: mend the figure, but the time is right.

[377]I know not how to retreive the fashion or shape of the old engine of thebattering-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.

[378]Memorandum:—the battering ramme, the armes of Bertie, hung in equilibrio in an engine they call thetriangles—from Mr. Nicolas Mercator: vide Bertie's coate in primo volumine[379]. See[380]the old glasse windowes in Aldersgate street—from Mr. Bagshawe.
