I. He beareth a Peruque, or Perawicke.
This is a counterfeit Hair which Men wear instead of their own, a thing much used in our days by the generality of Men, contrary to our Fore-fathers, who got Estates, loved their Wives, and wore their own Hair; but in these days there is no such things.

Woman's face

He beareth a Womans face, with a Slop on her head. This of some is termed a Nuns head, vailed and vested; but the attire being round at the bottom makes me judge it to be rather some kind of Slop or Maunch for the head, because they used anciently such a kind of Pouch at the Sleeve. Some term this a French Hood pendant, or hanging backwards, or fallen back; because the usual way of wearing them is on the head.
