Country Dress  Book III, Chapter 5
 
Chap. V.
Having now finished the two former Chapters which concern Temporal and Ecclesiastical promotions of Men, both for Church and State. I shall next proceed to give you some examples of Countrey fashions of both Men and Women, not of the Gallantry of those Countreys I shall treat upon (for that were endless as it is boundless, never continuing with such in one stay) but of the commonalty of such places which are only preservators both of the ancient Habits, and Languages, thereunto belonging.
Now these kind of Persons, I shall give a brief description of them, and their manner of Live, and such as I have found, either in whole, or in part, born in Coats of Arms, I shall unfold them to the Reader.
