at_o this_o day_n &_o as_o they_o in_o france_n do_v but_o two_o hundred_o year_n ago_o it_o be_v much_o easy_a and_o soon_o do_v to_o cover_v ourselves_o at_o one_o bout_n than_o to_o clothe_v each_o

thus_o their_o clothes_n hardly_o have_v any_o fashion_n be_v only_o piece_n of_o stuff_n that_o be_v make_v according_a to_o the_o largeness_n and_o figure_n which_o the_o habit_n be_v to_o have_v where_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o cut_v and_o little_a to_o sow_v they_o do_v not_o alter_v their_o mode_n as_o at_o this_o day_n they_o do_v not_o change_v they_o throughout_o all_o the_o levant_n beside_o woman_n and_o young_a people_n who_o usual_o invent_v modes_n have_v there_o very_o little_a authority_n from_o thence_o it_o come_v that_o they_o keep_v such_o great_a magazine_n of_o

five_o hundred_o year_n after_o jesus_n christ_n the_o beauty_n of_o clothes_n consist_v in_o the_o colour_n or_o fineness_n of_o the_o stuff_n the_o white_a the_o purple-red_n and_o the_o violet_n

what_o be_v very_o neat_a and_o whole_a beside_o we_o shall_v not_o doubt_v but_o the_o israelite_n be_v clothe_v very_o plain_o if_o we_o consider_v how_o plain_a the_o garment_n be_v of_o the_o greek_n and_o roman_n even_o in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o great_a luxury_n we_o may_v see_v the_o antique_a statue_n the_o trajan_n column_n and_o other_o bas-relief_n the_o habit_n which_o the_o scripture_n usual_o mention_n be_v the_o tunick_n and_o the_o cloak_n in_o these_o two_o the_o grecian_a and_o roman_a habit_n do_v only_o consist_v the_o tunick_n be_v large_a but_o when_o they_o be_v to_o walk_v or_o be_v in_o action_n they_o make_v use_v of_o a_o girdle_n hence_o come_v that_o phrase_n so_o frequent_a in_o scripture_n arise_v gird_v up_o thy_o loin_n and_o do_v this_o the_o hebrew_n have_v their_o head_n cover_v with_o a_o kind_n of_o a_o round_a and_o wreathe_a ornament_n as_o well_o as_o the_o persian_n and_o chaldean_n for_o it_o be_v a_o token_n of_o mourning_n to_o go_v bareheaded_a and_o they_o wear_v their_o hair_n since_o to_o shave_v the_o head_n be_v another_o mark_n of_o mourning_n as_o for_o the_o beard_n it_o be_v very_o certain_a they_o wear_v it_o long_o by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o ambassador_n 10._o who_o david_n send_v to_o the_o king_n of_o the_o ammonite_n and_o who_o that_o ill-advised_n king_n cause_v to_o be_v shave_v by_o way_n of_o

garment_n to_o be_v half_o cut_v off_o after_o a_o manner_n which_o make_v it_o appear_v they_o wear_v they_o long_o they_o bathe_v often_o as_o people_n still_o do_v in_o hot_a country_n and_o wash_v their_o foot_n oftener_o than_o they_o bathe_v for_o that_o wear_v only_a sandal_n they_o can_v not_o walk_v without_o gather_v up_o dust_n and_o upon_o this_o account_n the_o scripture_n frequent_o speak_v of_o their_o wash_n of_o their_o foot_n when_o they_o come_v into_o a_o house_n or_o go_v to_o eat_v or_o to_o sleep_v now_o as_o water_n dry_v the_o skin_n and_o hair_n they_o anoint_v themselves_o either_o with_o plain_a oil_n or_o aromatic_a unguent_n which_o we_o may_v call_v essence_n or_o pomatum_n and_o which_o they_o still_o make_v great_a use_n of_o in_o the_o indies_n we_o see_v in_o several_a place_n of_o the_o scripture_n how_o the_o woman_n dress_v and_o deck_v themselves_o god_n reproach_v jerusalem_n with_o its_o infidelity_n under_o the_o figure_n of_o a_o
