Of Vices, curled haire, sweet smels, custome,
condition, country.
Wee must not offend any man with our
vices; for as they be foule and filthy in them∣selues;
so they produce shamefull effects,
and turne to our losse and reproach; it shall
then be necessary for Gentlemen, and men
of good behauiour to haue a regard to this
measure, I speake of in going, standing, sit∣ting,
iesture, apparell, port, silence, rest and
action; for a man must not apparell himselfe
like a woman: as in their haire and beardes
frisled and curled with bod-kins: their face,
necke, and handes painted or starcht; their
perfumes so hot as a daintie strumpet, and
themselues meerely effeminate and woman∣nish.
As for apparell spoken of before, wee
must vse them according to the fashion,
and our calling: for we must not take vpon
descriptionPage [unnumbered]
vs to alter custome at our will: for time doth
beget them, and time doth also weare them
out: yea, wee should apparell according to
the countrey we liue in, for what peraduen∣ture
is allowed in Verona, perchance would
not be suffered in Venice.
