[600.] Murray. The Revd. John Murray.
Armorial in form, but no true arms shown. The motto, Malo mori quam foedari, is on a circular band which encloses a space, divided into quarters, colored heraldically and charged with absurd charges; in the first quarter, which is tinctured az., a shield with a helmet above is supported by a row of fence posts with cinquefoils between them; the second, which is tinctured ar., is divided per saltire, and is charged with a powder-horn, a crescent and stars, an ox-bow, and a crown; the third, which is tinctured gu., has Gabriel and Apollyon in combat, with a crown above them; the fourth, which is tinctured az., has the dove with the olive branch on a peculiar cross which holds thirteen spots (for lack of a better term); disposed about are three flaming hearts. This whole design is enclosed in a large shield; the crest is a man on a prancing steed, carrying a tomahawk; the supporters are a nude Indian with a wreath about his loins, his feet chained, and the end of the chain and a shield in his hands; and a crowned lion with three stars on its body. Motto, under all, Juncta virtute fides. This plate is not signed. What a pity! Very probably the plate of the Father of American Universalism, who it is said was greeted with a shower of stones when he first tried to preach in Boston.
