I do not know if this is the best way to do this, but you can exploit 
inframed.

{\tfc The \inframed[foregroundstyle=\BigFont,frame=off]{ 7}\high{th} Seal}
or
{\tfc The \inframed[foregroundstyle=\BigFont,frame=off]{ 7\high{th}} Seal}

depending on what you want.

I think that startalignment is only for horizontal alignment, but I 
may be wrong here.
