To R Kynaston Esq on his appointment to the command of the Loyal Volunteer Corps of Infantry raised at Tesling, Spain.

He who in fight the Rebel Audley slew, remember Son, was ancestor to you, Remember that you bear His arms, his Name, strong motives these, to emulate his fame true to his King, but look to him alone, The Warrior bow’d before an heavenly throne And as he viewed the Crest his worth had won. My God, he cried, God is my Sword and Staff

Note.  After the Battle of Bloreheath in which Sir R(oger) K(ynaston) vanquished and slew with his own hand Lord Audley.  Ewd (Edward) 4 commanded him to take and bear the Arms of Audley and gave him the crest/an arm in armour with a sword in the midst of a Son / of which the last line is a verbal translation

Motto “Deus est Nobis, sol et ensis”

This note was probably sent to Roger around 1800 and Thomas must have had knowledge of the descent from Sir Roger Kynaston and the other information from the original Visitation document which was passed to him in 1776 by Roger Kynaston of Shrewsbury, who married Mary Powell
