Notes for Jean Corliez:\ Those who were well effected to our Church to not be 
brought to look upon DeCorlies but as the descendent of the renowned Regenald 
DeCorlies who so nobly and faithfully preached the Cross at the second Crusade and 
was standard-bearer of the Brabaut Knights at the Siege of Jerusalem. That the 
descendents of him whose very armorial bearings denote that he had fixed his "Holey 
Cross upon the Rock of Zion" surrounding it by the "Emblem of eternity," should 
desert the faith for which his illustrious ancestor had devoted a holy and unstained 
life, was more than the people could be brought to believe. "But this cruel fact was 
too plainly shown to the citizens of Liege? by his precipitate flight with his wife and 
two sons, and taking refuge in that land of heretics, England.On the 25th of Feb. 
1641, Jean Count DeCorlies, was summoned to appear before the Grand Council, then 
sitting at Ghent, to answer for the aid he had given to the enemies of God's Church; 
when instead of appearing and defending himself, he declared his comformity to the 
heretical doctrines and fled, thus leading too many to the loss of their eternal souls 
thru his example. John Fuller in his tr?ck called "Sacrifices made to God-this truth" 
published in 1654, names the Count DeCorlies as among the Illustrious of the 
reformers of that time.The name has been variously spelled in England Corilesse, 
Corlas, Corlies, in the records of the Suffolk, where they appear to have settled after 
leaving Belgium. The "LeBlazon Universelle de la Belgique", the arms of the family of 
Corlies are the same as the sketch on the opposite page( I did not get the sketch) 
with two molues as supporters; one gold, the other black, each holding a tilting spear, 
red with pennons-on the dexter side blue, on the sinister red, each charged with a 
cross (gold) issuing from a cresc3nt argent, the ends of the pennons returning towards 
the arms and the motto, "Sub cruce, spes mea. " Helmet front faced.
