"Respite for the armes" meaning in 1633-34 ?
« on: Wednesday 28 October 20 14:51 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
I came across the above phrase in the 'Visitation of London' for 1633-34. It appears at least twice that I saw and, in spite of searching online can find no definition.
In both cases there is no illustration of the arms presumably because of this 'respite'.
I wonder if anybody could help me understand it ?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

I think it might mean the equivalent of a space for the arms i.e. if there was an illustration of the ams, it would be inserted within the text in that space.
