It looks pretty clear to me... (Please reply that you have seen this)
I still say it should be as I suggested. People who do documentary research find that history is littered with mispelled documents, names on gravestones etc. It is possible, indeed likely, that the calligrapher in the 16th or 17th century who made the inscription, or the person who wrote the motto down for him or her to copy, or somebody who repaired the shield later on, was illiterate in English or Latin or both.
The motto as shown is identical to a very well known quotation from Ovid, a very famous Roman writer.
