SR - Let's get started!

Salut Cozyns,

Lyonel aisai.

Well, I'm probably going to miss several of these, but--without recourse to
any of my dictionaries--here goes.  Let's see how many I can get right.

>p. 28: Il faut Faire, < 1433/44, "It is necessary to do", Sir John
>Fastolf
>
>p. 46: Veritate duce, ?, ?, Anthony Maria, 2nd viscount Montagu

Hmmm, something like "Lead with the truth."

>p. 59: Hic [ich] dien, 14th C., "I serve", Philippa of Hainault
>
>p. 118: Semper eadem, 1558, "Always the same", Elizabeth I
>
>p. 40: De mieulx en mieulx, 1573, ?, William Paston of Paston

"Among the best of the best."

>p. 48: SEIEPEVSE, 1532, ?, William Paston of Paston

I have no idea what this says.  I'm not even sure what language this is.

>p. 45: In utrumque paratus, 1616, ?, Knowles

"In [something] prepared."  (Okay, doing this is harder than I thought.)

>p. 60: Spes mea in domino est, c. 1530, ?, Robert Johns

"My hope is in the lord."

>p. 109: Vulnerati sed non victi, 1461 / 1687, ?, Company of Cooks

"Wounded but not defeated."

>p. 131: Sovereyne, ?, =, Duchy of Lancaster
>
>p. 130: Dieu et mon droict / droit, at least Henry VIII, "God and my
>right", monarch of England / GB / the UKoGBa[N]I
>
>p. 146: Seasa Pais, 1625, ?, Barons Livingstone
>
>p. 150: Qu{ae}rite prime regnum dei, 1638, ?, Newfoundland

"Seek first the kingdom of God."

Okay, now I'll look everything up and correct my errors.
