^{page 141 note a} At the conclusion of the reading of this Paper, A. W. Franks, Esq., Director, remarked that this text, “Jesus autem,” &c, is certainly found in treatises of alchemy, and on finger rings of the fourteenth century of Italian workmanship. R. S. Poole, Esq. of the British Museum, has kindly called my attention to “Botica de los Templarios,” the wooden front of a druggist shop, fourteenth century, formerly attached to a house of the Templars in Toledo, and now in the Architectural Hall of the Kensington Museum, having carved upon it the same text. In 1866 a gold ring was found about five inches deep in the ground at Montpensier in Auvergne by a shepherdess, inscribed “S. Georgius. Jesus autem transiens per medium illorum ibat.” This ring was exhibited by Mr. Hailstone before the Cambridge Antiquarian Society, as stated in The Academy, p. 518, June 8, 1878. It was afterwards submitted to Mr. Franks, and by him pronounced to be an interesting ring of Italian workmanship, fourteenth century, but not necessarily connected with Edward III. or the Black Prince.

Flanders then fell into the hands of Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, who had it in right of Margaret his wife. He was wise and conciliator, restored the Flemish liberties, and was himself more a Fleming than a Lily prince. And thus the foundations of the great Burgundian dukedom, stretching in a curve from the sea round the whole northern and much of the eastern frontier of France, were securely laid.” Kitchin's, Hist. of France, 1873, vol. i. p. 482Google Scholar.

^{page 148 note b} In order to appreciate more fully the appropriateness of Edward III. representing himself as an armed figure in a ship, and also to account for the persistence of this device on the English coinage, it should be remembered that he was a great admiral as well as a great general, the army and navy not being distinct services, as in later times, that he expressly took the command off Sluys, displacing for the nonce the official admiral, Sir Thomas Beauchamp, that he was also a great promoter of commerce, especially of the Flemish trade in wool. The form of the ship is well illustrated by comparison with the illuminations of the Froissart MSS. with the seal of Tenterden, of which there is an impression in the Architectural Museum, Tufton Street, Westminster.
