Shield (Chief) is a Golden ("of the same" = Gold) Star (Mullet) of 5 points (unspecified = 5 pointed Stars)
the second charged with - (Means the 2nd (Blue) half of the Shield will have "things"
placed (Charged) upon it, which will be deScribed next)
2 Mullets in Pale of the latter - (Means 2 Golden (Or=Gold - last color) Stars arranged
vertically (in this instance, "in Pale" has the same meaning as "Paleways"))

the Shield (Chief) is a Silver (Argent=Silver - 1st color) Crescent)
CREST (Helmet) INTERPRETATION:
On a Torse of the colors - (Means the next thing deScribed will go upon a
cloth wreath (Torse) of 6 twists, alternating between the primary tinctures)

the points of the Crescent - the orientation/attitude of the Arrow is vertical (by default))
on its tip a Mullet - (Means that a 5 pointed Star (mullet) is placed upon

Tinctures) - This Crest is then affixed by the Torse (together with the Mantling) to the Helmet,
which is drawn with closed Visor, or with no Visor nor
Grilles - the kind used by a "Bürgerliche" (Esquire/Commoner/Citizen))
Note that putting the Golden Arrows upon the Silver Shield half breaks the "Tincture Rule" of Heraldry
but it must be drawn exactly as deScribed (written) by the Scribe.

Star (Mullet) - (Divine quality from above; mark of cadency of the 3rd son)
