But these times cry downe her pride and commend her to haue been sober and modest Touching our late new-found Monsters I meane Women that haue cleane cut off their Haire and gone like Boyes or Young-men it may be that they might be so taken as Pope Ioane was as his Maiestie hath let some of them see his frowning countenance and heare his words of Princely indignation against them whereby that foule fashion was a while repressed so I haue wished his Maiestie would likewise haue been pleased to haue committed them to Bridewell or Bedlem and commanded them there to haue beene kept till their Haire were fully growne againe 2 Sam. 10.15 as Dauid commanded his Ambassadours abused by Hanun and the Princes of Ammon by shauing of halfe their Beards to tarrie at Iericho till there beards were growne because they were ashamed Were not this so much the more iust because these impudent Women sin against the light of Nature and yet are not ashamed but glorie in their shame Yea both such Women and also men offending in the contrarie by wearing Woman-like long Haire doe giue Paule and the Holy Ghost the lye in so doing 1 Cor. 11.14.15 For Paule by the Holy Ghost hath said Doth not nature it selfe teach you that for a man to haue long haire it is a shame But for a woman to haue long haire it is a glorie to her Doe not therefore such men and such women say nay to all that and speake the cleane contrarie viz. That it is verie comely for men to weare long haire and a great ornament for women to cut off their haire and to become Tomboyes Oh how doe these cry to men for reformation and without reformation to God for Iudgement Here also I may briefely insert some thing against the multiplicitie of Faires especially in small Villages Multiplicitie of Faires and pelting Parrishes as the which are onely meanes to maintaine Rogues and Vagabonds and such drunkennesse and drinkings as whereof before I haue spoken and whereby likewise there is much more detriment to the Common-wealth then any benefit Yea alas how is God dishonoured many wayes by occasion of such Faires Yea also how well may most Faires in great Townes be spared except only some speciall Faires as Bartholmew Faire at London Sturbridge Faire by Cambridge Lyn Mart and the like and excepted likewise great Cattell Faires in diuers Countries Other Faires for the most part are more preiudiciall to Trades men in such great Townes then beneficiall to any but only to Alehouse-keepers Inholders and Tauerners May it also please you to consider of some meanes to restraine great men from lying so much in London Great persons to keep house in the Countrey Rom. 12.12 Hebr. 13.2 1 Pet. 4.9 Gen. 18.3 and 19.2 Iob 31.17 Neh. 5.17.18 and other Cities and Townes from their chiefe Mansion Houses in the Countrey as they doe and to enioyne them to keepe House in the Countrey Hospitalitie being both often commanded and also commended by many worthy examples of Abraham of Lot of Iob of Nehemiah Is it not the more necessarie in these daies for the more refreshing of the poore all Trades being now so dead as they are and many men not knowing almost how to line Yea in the same respect it is likewise the more needfull by Iustice the better to keepe men in order and from vsing vnlawfull shifts for helping of themselues Yea at all times it is needfull for repressing of sinnes by the authoritie of such great men meaner Iustices not being of such account as the greater The old excuse of the great price of things hindring House-keeping in the Countrey hath lately beene remoued by the great plentie of the late yeeres especially for such great persons more easie House-keeping Before also it might haue beene the more eased by the more moderation of expences in building gaming apparell and other rioting By this meanes also euerie other Gentlemans burthen would be the lesse As many hands make quick worke so many shoulders make light burthens Exod. 18.17 c.
