- Satirical arms with a donkey as the crest, an owl wearing a cap on its back. The donkey stands upon a "Log" which rests upon a "Bible", a paper marked "Address", and a "Liturgy Petition" with a cross on it. The shield contains various images, including three warships, a tankard of beer, military tents next to cannons, and a ram. Hops and barley (or another grain) are present on either side of shield, akin to supporters. Latin mottos are contained within ribbons at the bottom, and read "furiis in censa feror" and "vir tutis sub umbra viti um."
