The Womens Habit.
THe Women there are no fashion-mongers,
but they keep in their
degrees one continual habit, as the
richer sort do wear a Huick, which is a
Robe of Cloth or Stuff plated, and the
upper part of it is gathered and sowed
together in the form of an English pot∣lid,
with a tassle on the top, and so put
upon the head, and the garment goes
over her tuffe and face if she please, and
so down to the ground, so that a man
may meet his own Wife, and perhaps
not know her from another Woman.
