A10706	The Irish hubbub, or, The English hue and crie briefly pursuing the base conditions, and most notorious offences of the vile, vaine, and wicked age, no lesse smarting then tickling : a merriment whereby to make the wise to laugh, and fooles to be angry / by Barnaby Rich ...	Rich, Barnabe, 1540?-1617.	1618 (1618)	STC 20989.7; ESTC S123522	50,488	68

but that a phantasticall attire is a plaine confirmation of a phantasticke minde But if I had as many mouthes as Argus had eyes I should yet want words to expresse the foolerie of new fashions the onely cloke whereby to patronize the franticke humors of this madding age is the multitude of madde men that doth vse them which now by custome are growne so familiar being practised by the multitude that if they were acted but by a few in number I thinke that if they themselues did but stand by to behold them they would account them to bee worse then madde that did so much affect them but yet in this deformitie of fashions it is commonly seene that wise-men doe sometimes follow fooles But of all occupations I will blesse my selfe from being a Taylor especially to any of those of the decayed Order for when the Taylor hath spent his wits to fit him in the new fashion which he must fetch from France Flanders Italy Spaine and that he hath shewne his skill in cutting pressing printing racing garding and stitching yet he sweares he hath spoild his garment And I cannot chuse but laugh to thinke how the poore Taylor must indure to bee call'd Rogue Rascall Foole Asse Prick-louse Botcher Bungler and to suffer the worshipfull Knight Sir Giles Goosecap to rage to raile and to sweare that his garment is marred hee hath cut it too long too short too wide too streight and he must be contented to indure all and glad to get him home with his bill in his pocket not daring to aske his money for a twelue-moneth after For a womans Taylor the best way to please my Lady is to haue some interest in her Chamber-maide It would be tedious to set downe what meanes hath bin vsed to draw in money for the supply of wares what great summes of money haue bin raised from the pride and excesse that hath bin vsed as well by men as by women in their garded garments their coloured silkes their gold and siluer lace and their such other superfluities If these exactions were now looked after I thinke it would draw deepe when Cloth of Gold is thought too simple vnlesse it be ornified with some rich imbroydery either of Gold or Pearle for otherwise he that his fathers best coat was but of home-spunne cloth doth disdaine to weare it Pride is now become the mother of deuotion for it driueth a number to Church that goe thither more to shew their brauery and to seeke precedence then they do to serue God The Sabboth day which the Almighty himself hath commanded especially to be kept holy that day aboue all the rest is most prophaned and God is more dishonoured with this monstrous sinne of pride vpon the Sabboth day then he was when Lucifer was first depriued from the ioyes of heauen If we keepe our dores shut vp during the time of the Sermon we thinke we haue done enough And there is a prouident care had if it were as carefully obserued that no Victualler in the time of Diuine Seruice should retaine in his house any drinking or disordred company Doe but now finde me out the Tauerne the Inne or the Alehouse where God is more dishonoured on the Sabboth day then he is in the Church it selfe and then at that very time whilest the Preacher is in the Pulpit Looke but vpon the abhominable pride that is there to be seene and thou wilt say it is fitter to prophane the Temple then to doe God honour The pride of this Age is greater then euer it was both in Nobles Knights and Gentlemen and as well in those that should giue good example as teach precepts in high and low rich and poore all sorts all degrees are excessiuely proud and as it were in despight of Religion to attire and pranke vp our selues in that pompe and excessiue pride as were fitter for a Brothell-house then for the house of God I would not be thought to be too generall in my words for God defend but there should be many good and godly disposed persons that doe frequent the Church that are no lesse zealously inclined then godly deuoted yet hee that should duely consider of the excesse that is vsed in superfluous vanities would rather iudge them to be the marks and monuments of a people that neuer heard of God then to be in vse and custom amongst Christians when they be seruing of their God We goe to Church indeed vpon the Sabboth and we say it is to seeke Christ but it is to seeke precedence to dispute of dignities to striue for places to contend who shall goe before and who shall follow after and therefore to mocke Christ rather then to seeke him Christ is to be sought in lowlinesse of heart and humblenesse of minde we must seeke him in feare and trembling in mourning garments lamenting and bewayling our sins and therefore let those counterfet hypocrites chuse whether they will be angry or pleased for I will laugh at them and giue them the Hubbub too that will say they goe to seeke Christ in pride and presumption We read in the holy Scriptures of three wise-men that came to seeke Christ the Papists would haue them to bee three Kings but did they come in my pompe or pride to seeke him It is written they gaue him gifts Gold Frankincense and Myrrh and this in the opinion of most learned Diuines was preordained by God himselfe to releeue the necessitie of Ioseph and Mary who were then presently to flie into Aegypt for the safetie of the childe IESVS whom Herod did seeke to murder We doe read of Zaccheus that came to seeke Christ and he was driuen to climbe a Figge tree but to get a sight of him the text saith he was rich but his apparell could not be sumptuous that was fit to climbe a tree Wee read againe of the Virgin Mary her selfe that for three dayes together had sought Christ whom in the end shee found amongst the Doctors in the Temple but doe you thinke she rode all this while in a Coach that shee went thus to seeke him Christ himselfe came to seeke vs when we were lost nay when we had lost ourselues and were sold vnder sinne but when he came to seeke vs and to saue the world did he shine in silke or glister in gold How is this world changed We cannot now goe to seek Christ but we must be clad in silke in sattin in veluet in cloth of siluer in cloth of gold Euery vnworthy Madam that her mother hath trudged many a mile on foote to goe to market shee cannot now goe to Church but in a Coach if it be but the length of a Bowling Alley The six dayes that God hath left vnto vs to follow our worldly businesses wee mis-spend them with many foule abuses but the Sabboth day that we reserue onely to shew our pride Thus vnder pretence of going to Church to serue God we goe to Church to mocke God and our comming home

distempered humors in the party so offended in that he knoweth himselfe to be guilty of these crimes and so may thinke I point him out for a foole then of any fault of mine May we not a litle scoffe at those that doe nothing else themselues but make a scoffe at vertue Is not the world come to that passe that men doe rather glory in their sinnes then either seeke to reforme or to shew any signes of sorrow or amendment Name mee but the Drunkard that ouer night hath bin carried like a beast to his bed that is ashamed of it the next morning but is rather ready to laught at it and to fall to his draffe againe afresh Is it not so with the Adulterer that doth take greater pleasure in the vaunting of his adulteries then he did in the acting Looke amongst all sorts of sinners doe they not reioyce in their abominations and make themselues merry with their owne iniquities Is not the man that feareth God become a laughing stock to those vassals of vice and villanie The proud peacocke he lookes asquint at him that doth not shine in silke and glister all in gold The drunken swad he makes a wry mouth at him that will not be once a weeke drunke for good fellowship The blasphemous wretch accounts him for a Mecocke that cannot sweare voluntary and lash out for euery word an oath The vicious lecher will call him Puritan that will not beare him company to a Bawdy house The knowne harlot that liues in daily adultery will not sticke to shoulder the honest woman that was neuer detected and will striue with her for place and precedence Vice doth so guard it selfe by tyrannie that no body dares open his lips to reprehend it Marke but the vicious Courtier how he flatters sweares and forsweares and damnes himselfe to the Diuell to please the eye of greatnesse tels false lies and tales to act any villanie when murther shall accompany lust euen to poyson innocents But God is iust and doth reward them with shame here and in death Hell doth attend them The great-ill-man hath discharged honesty for comming on his ground and hopes to be Lord of as much ground as a Kite can flie ouer in a day O Rauen for he dips his bill in poore mens blood The vnmercifull vsurer and his broker fasten their long talents vpon the decayed borrower tell them of honesty they terme you pragmaticall and talke of nothing but thousands as though they ment to spit shillings in the face of any that oppose them The suttle Lawyer that pleads in ill cases sells silence takes fees with both hands and like an ill Surgeon keepes the wound of his clyent greene till hee hath emptied his purse The deceitfull Tradesman that keeps a good and a bad weight because he hath a heart and a heart holds honesty an enemy to this thrift because hee meaneth to bee vnreasonable rich hee can bee content to bee vnmeasurable sinfull The bold faced stage player that trades in poysoning all sorts and ages with verses reesed in the smoke of lust and blasphemous scripture iests these and the like stinke in the presence of God and one day God will send them all to him whom in this life they serued It is our sinnes then that haue raised the Hubbub the cry is vp and it is become so loud and shrill that it hath pierced the clouds it hath aspired the heauens and it hath approched the presence chamber of God What is man that he should be thus prone He is vaine fickle weake and wondrous arrogant Then to fret him he is euer swaied with loue lust ambition enmitie compassion ioy iealousie feare hope despaire sadnesse with hate reuenge auarice choller and cruelty But I thanke God for it I am not so madde to thinke that I am able to terrifie those with my words that the threatnings pronounced by Gods own mouth cannot make afraid when our Preachers may cry out till their throats be sore denouncing Gods vengeance against sinne and wickednesse are rather derided than beleeued What folly were it in mee then to presume to induce those to the feare of God that I thinke haue no regard neither to God nor the Deuill that doe liue as though there were neither reward in heauen for the iust nor punishment in hell for the wicked that do demeane themselues not as though they were ignorant of God but as though they did do their vttermost to despight him The world is now too farre spent to looke for either grace or goodnesse vpon the earth and the sinnes of this age are growne so proud that they are past all reformation Were it not better for mee then to laugh than to weepe and for companies sake to be merry and to sport at their follies that I thinke are priuiledged by Letters Patents from hell to follow their owne lusts and pleasures and to feede themselues fat for the Diuels owne tooth What is become of our ancient bounty in house-keeping Those whose ancestors liued in stately Pallaces like Princes in their Countrey brauely attended by a number of proper men now come and liue in the Citie where they are but inmates rogues by statute and my young master and his boy spend that which was wont to maintaine so many What is the reason of this An ancient Father of the Church saith Mutant oues pro auibus boues pro piscibus They giue as much for a bird as their fathers for a fat Weather and more for a fresh Salmon then they for a fat oxe and how scant a portion of these dainties comes to the almes basket all men may iudge Nay we may say they put all their fat Beeues into their imbroydered and perfumed doublets their fat sheepe into their skarlet slops the eggs and flower that should make the good pies and pasties into starch for their yellow bands all the smoke that should come forth of their chimneyes is blowne out at their noses Finally they make but a puffe of all their fathers left them And now to begin my sport I cannot chuse but giue the Hubbub when I meet so many of my young Masters passing thorow the streets attired so like strumpets trickt vp in the harlots trimme for all the world like a Seamsters maide new come out of the Royall Exchange Mee thinks they should not sweare an oath but by Gods daintie they are not worthy to carry the name of men that are so farre in loue with their owne deformities as I thinke of my conscience if the soules of the deceased might looke downe from the heauens to behold the things that are done here vpon the earth there be a number of parents that would be ashamed to see the vanities of their owne children how farre they are estranged both in forme fashion and condition from the discipline of vertue and the precepts which they themselues had bin educated and trained vp in Our mindes are effeminated our martiall exercises
