A link to a google book of a late period heraldic text was on the sca_heralds list.
 
"This badge is a Sagittaric Geules, within an Escalop Argent set on his name or worde.  This is the badge of an Esquire of England.  If you meeruaile why, I set not hte same upon a wreath as now it is most usual, I say to you, in the time of king Henrie the fifth, and long after, no man had his badge set on a wreath, under the degree of a knight.  But that order is worne away and everie man weareth at this day, as he liketh ..."  (The Accedence of Armorie, Gerard Legh, 1562 p112) http://books.google.com/books?id=ppM8AAAAcAAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false
 
For wreath read motto.
