haue spoken all this while For it is a harder matter a greate deale to knowe whē a man faulteth in these then when he faulteth in them Bycause It is easie much vve see to feele then to vnderstande But yet it may chaunce otherwhile that euen that which offendeth the senses may also offend the minde thoughe not altogether after one sorte as I haue told you before shewing you that A man must apparell him selfe according to the fashions that other men vse that it may not be thought he doth reproue and correct their doings The which thing offendeth most men that seeke to be commended And the wisest mē that be mislike it too For the garments of the olde world haue lost their date for men of this age and this season to weare And it is suche an ill shapen sight to see a man clad with other mens cloathes that a man would weene there would be a fray betwene the doublet the hose their cloathes doe sit vppon them so vnto wardly So that many of those matters I haue spoken of allredy or peraduēture all might be aptly rehersed here again forasmuch as this measure I speake of here is not obserued in these thīgs nor the time nor the place nor the worke nor the worker accorded fitted together so well as it should be For mens minds and fansies doe like it take a pleasure and delight in those things But I thought it good to apply speake these matters rather vnder the badge as it were of the Senses and desires then properly assigne them to the minde that a man may the more easily perceiue them bycause It is a naturall thinge for euerie man to feele and desire but euery man cannot so generally vnderstand and especially that whiche we call bewtie gallantnes or entertainement It is not inoughe for a man to doe things that be good but hee must also haue a care hee doe them with a good grace And a good grace is nothing els but suche a maner of light as I may call it as shineth in the aptnes of things set in good order and wel disposed one with another and perfectly knit and vnited together VVithout which proportion and measure euen that which is good is not faire the fairenes it self is not plesaunt And as meates though they be good sauourie will giue men no minde to eate thē if they haue no pleasaunt relish and taste So fares it with the maners of men other while althoughe in them selues in no respect they be ill but foolishe a little and fond if a man doe not season them with a certaine sweetenes which you call as I take it Grace and Comlines So that euery vice of it selfe without any further matter to helpe it it cannot be chosen must needes offend a man For Vices be things so foule and filthie that honest and modest mindes will greeue to see their shamefull effects And therefore it shall behoue them that seeke to be well thought of with their familiar acquaintāce aboue all things els to eschewe vices and especially those that be foulest and worst as Leachery Couetousnes Crueltie and other Of which some be beastly as Drunkennes and Gluttonie some vncleane as Leacherie other some horrible as Murther and such other all which for them selues and for the very naughtines that is properly in them al all men eschewe more or lesse But as earst I said generally al as thīgs of greate disorder make a man misliked muche of all men But bycause I haue not taken vppon me to shew vnto you mēs sinnes but their Errors it shal be no parte of my charge at this time to entreate of the Nature of vices vertues but onely of the seemely vnseemely fashions and maners wee vse one with another One of the which vnseemely fashions was that Coūt Richard did vse of which I tould you before Which as vnseemely and vnfitting with those other his good and faire maners hee had besides that same worthie Bishop as a skilfull and cunning Mayster in musicke will eaeasily here a note out of Tune had quickly founde out It shal be then necessarie for gentlemen and men of good behauiour to haue a regard to this measure I speake of in going in standing in sitting in gesture in porte in apparell in talke in silence in rest and in action For a man must not apparell him selfe like a woman that the Attire may not be of one sorte and the person of another as I doe see it in some that weare their heads their beards curled with bodkins and haue their face and their necks their hands so starchte and painted that it were to muche for a girle nay harlot that makes a merchādize of it and sets her selfe to the sale Hou must smell neither of sweete nor of sower for a gentleman would not sauour nastily like a begger nor yet should a man carry a sauour and sent about him like a harlot or whoore I doe not by this forbid but you may very well vse some sweete smelles of sweete waters Your apparell must be shaped according to the fashion of the time and your calling for the causes I haue shewed you before For VVe must not take vppon vs to alter customes at our will. For time doth beget them and time doth also weare them out Euery mā may applie those fashiōs that be in common vse the moste to his owne aduantage that he can For if perchaunce your legges be very long and men vse but short garments you may vse a meane not to long nor to short And if your legges be to small to greate or crooked make not your hosen of to light and garishe a colour that it may not call men to looke and to gawre vppō your deformitie Thou must weare no garment that shall be to light or ouermuche daubde with garding that mē may not say thou hast Ganymedes hosen or wearest Cupides doublet But whatsoeuer it be thou wearest let it be fit and well made for thy bodie least thou seme to braue it in another mans cloathes But with all thou must in any case respect thy condition or estate For A man of the Clergie must not be attired like a Souldier nor a Souldier goe like a Player When Castruccio was in Rome with Lodouico Bauero at a greate Pompe and triumphe who was both Duke of Lucca and Pistoia and Count of Palazzo and Senatour of Rome this Castruccio being Lorde greate Mayster of the saide Lodouico Bauero his househoulde for his brauery made him a coate of crimsin vppon the brest wherof there was this deuise in letters of Golde It is euen as God will. And vppon the backe behinde And it shall be as God will. I beleeue you thinke this garment would haue become Castruccio his Trumpeter better then it could become him And although Kings be free frō checke and may doe what they list Yet I could neuer commend King
