Coat of arms copperplate 17th century Fleming and Jenkins

This image is from a copperplate engraving, and shows part of a roll of arms from Richard Blome's (Britannia), an atlas published in 1673. It features the coats of arms of people who contributed towards the completion of the work - starting with King Charles II. Each page includes 35 coats of arms, presented here in pairs. These two coats of arms are from folio (page) 9 of the work. In old English, ans appeared as a longs (which looks like an f'), while ss appeared as fs'. Com was an abbreviation for County'. A number is assigned to each benefactor. Here are the accompanying texts (followed by modernised English where appropriate): 258 Edw: FLEMING of Inflow in Com Devon Efq (Edward Fleming, location unknown) 259 Sr. Leoline IENKINS Kt. Iudge of his Majesty's high Court of Admiralty & of ye Prorogative Court &c. (Sir Leoline Jenkins, judge) More from the same coat-of-arms series (many more via blue link)
