Girdle
CXXI. He beareth a Girdle in form of a
Simicircle [with] Buckle, Runner and Taps.
By the girding of the Girdle is signified Watchfulness and Care, and hast in Matters of weighty concernment, when on the other side the loosing of the Girdle of the Loins, is a token of Idleness, Sloth, and carelessness in business as the Prophet Isiah informs us: Isa. 5. 27.
Boot
CXXII. He beareth a Boot, bowed
in the Knee, with one indent in the top, the Toe
sharp pointed
[with] the Spur.
This may be termed a Dutch Boot, because all their Shoos, and Boots for their Skates to slide upon, have all such hooked, or turned up pointed Toes.
Boot
In the dexter side in chief ... a boot couped below the knee.
