A Man of honoure, or worshyp, or other estate, the whiche dothe pretende, to buylde a howse or any mansyon place, to inhaby­te hym selfe: Or els doth pretende to after his howse, or to after olde buyldynge in to cōmodyous and pleasaunt buyldyng, not onely for his owne proper cōmodyte. welth and helth, but also for other men, the whi­che wyll resorte to hym, hauynge also a re­spect to his posteryte. Fyrste it is necessary and expedyent for hym to take hede what counseyll god dyd gyue to Abraham, and after that to take hede what counsell God dyd gyue to Moyses, and to his chyldren of Israell, as it apereth in the .xiii. chapter of Exodi And the .xx chapter of Numeri. And the .vi. chapter of Deuttonomu. And also in the boke of Leuites, sayeng fyrst to Abraham. Go thou forth of thy countre, & [Page] from thy cognacion or kynred, and come thou in to y ^e countre. the which I wyl shewe to the a countre abundyng & plentyful of mylke & hōny. ¶ Here is to be noted that where there is plentye of mylke, there is plentye of pasture, and no skarsyte of wa­ter. And where there is plentye of hōny, there is no skarsyte, but plentyfulnes of wod­des. For there be moo bees in woddes, and so consequently abundaūce of hōny, than there be bees or hōny or waxe in the hyues in gardynes, or orchardes. Wherfore it ape­reth that who soeuer that wyl buylde a mā syon place or howse, he must cytuat and set it there where he must be sure to haue both water and wod, except for pleasure, he wyl buylde a howse in or by some cytie or great towne, the whiche be not desty [...]de of such cōmodyties. But he the whiche wyll dwell at pleasure, and for profyte and helthe of his body, he must dwell at elbowe rome hauynge water and wod anexed to his place or howse. For yf he be destytuted of any of the pryncipalles, that is to saye, fyrste of water for to wasshe and to wrynge, to bake [Page] and to brewe, and dyuers other cause specially for peryll the which myght fall by fyre it were a great discōmodyous thynge. And better it were to lacke wodde, than to lacke water, y ^e premysses cōsyderyd althoughe that wod is a necessary thynge not onely for fewell, but also for other vrgent causes specyallye cōsernynge buyldynge and re­peracyons.

AFter that a man haue chosen a conuenyent soyle and place accordynge to his mynde and purpose to buyl­de his howse or mansyon on. He must haue afore cast in his mynde, that the prospecte to and fro the place, be plea­saunt, fayre, and good to the iye, to behold the woddes, the waters, the feldes, the vales [Page] the hylles, & the playne grounde. And that euery thynge be desent and fayre to the iye not onely within the precynct of the place apoynted to buylde a mansyon or a howse to the cōmodyties about it, but also it may be placable to the iyes of all men to se and to beholde whan they be a good dystaunce of from the place, that it doth stande cōmodyously. For the cōmodyous buyldynge of a place doth not onely satysfye the mynde of the inhabytour, but also it doth cōforte and reioyseth a mannes harte to se it, spe­cyally the pul [...]use prospecte. For my con­ceyte is such that I had rather not to buylde a mansyon or a howse, than to buylde one without a good ꝓspecte ī it to it, & from it. For & the iye be not satysfyed, the myn­de can not be cōtentyd And the mynde can not be contentyd, the harte can not be pleased, yf the herte and mynde be not pleased nature doth of horre. And yf nature do abhorre, mortyfycacion of the vytall and anymall and spyrytuall powers do conse­quently folowe.

THere is noo thynge excepte poyson that doth putryfye or doth corrupt the blode of man. And also doth morty­fye the spyrytes of man, as dothe a corrupte and a contagyous ayer. For Galyen cerapentice no no sayth, whe­ther we wyl or w [...]l not, we must graunt to euery man ayer, for without the ayer no man can lyue. The ayer can not be to clene and pure consyderyng it doth close & doth compasse vs rounde aboute, and we do re­ceyue it in to vs, we can not be without it, for we lyue by it. as the fysshe lyueth by the water. Good ayer therfore is to be praysed For yf the ayer be fryske pure and clene aboute the mansyon or howse, it doth conserue the lyfe of man, it doth cōforte the bra [...] ne and the powers naturall, & ingendryng and makynge good blode, in the whiche cō systyth the lyfe of man. And contraryly e­uyll [Page] and corrupt ayers doth infecte the blode, and dothe ingendre many corrupte hu­mours, and doth putryfye the brayne and doth corrupt the harte, & therfore it doth brede many deseases, & infyrmities thorough the whiche mannes lyfe is abreuyated and shortenyd. Many thynges doth infecte putryfy and corruptyth the ayer, the fyrste is the influence of sondy sterres, and standynge water stynkynge mystes and caryn sy­enge longe aboute the grounde, moche people in a smallrome lyeng vnclenly and beynge fylthe and sluttysh. Wherfore he that dothe pretende to buylde his mansyon or howse, he must prouyde that he do not cy­tuat his howse nygh to any marshe or mo­rysshe groūde. And that there be not nygh to the plate stynkynge and putr [...]fyed stā ­dyng water pooles, nor morysh, but at lest wyse, that suche waters do stande vpon a stony or a grauellgrounde myxt with clay and that some freshe spryng haue a recourse to noryshe and to refreshe the sayd stan­dynge waters. Also there must be circūspection had that there be not aboute the howse [Page] or mansyon stynkyng dyches, gutters nor canelles nor corrupt dunghylles, nor sync­kes excepte they be oft dyuers tymes mundyfyed, and made clene: Swepyng of howses and chambres ought not to be done, as­longe as any honest man is within the precyncte of the howse, for the douste doth pu­tryfye, the ayer makynge it musty & dence. Also nyghe to the place, set nother hempe nor flexe be watered, and beware of the snoffe of [...]audelles, and of the sauoure of apples, for these thynges be contagyous, and infectyue. Also mystye & clowdy day­es impetous and vehement wyndes, trou­belous and vaperous wether is not good to laboure in it to open the poores to let in infectious ayer. Furthermore beware of pyssyng in drauftes, and permyt no cōmon pyssynge place be aboute the howse or mā ­syon, and let the cōmon howse of element he ouer some water, or els clongatyd from the howse. And beware of emptyeng of pyspottes and pyssyng in chymnes, so that all euyll and contagyous ayers may be expellyd, and clere ayer kept vnputryfyed. And [Page] of all thynges let the buttery, the celler, the kytchyn, the larderhowse with al other howses of offyces be kepte clene, that there be no fylth in them, but good and odyferous sauours. And to expel and expulse all corrupt and contagyous ayer.

¶ For whan the plaages of the Pestylence or the swetynge syckenes is in a trowne or countre, at Mountpylour, and in all other hyghe regyons and countres, that I haue ben in, the people doth flye from the contagyous and infectyous ayer, preseruatyues with other councell of Physycke, notwith­standynge. In lower and other baase countres, howses the whiche be infectyd in tow­ne or cytie, be closed vp, both dores & wyn­dowes, and the inhabytours shal not come abrode, not [...]er to churche nor market, for infectynge other, with that syckenes.

WHan a man dothe begyn to buylde his howse or mansyon place, he muste prouyde (sayth Ihesus christe) before that he be­gynne to buylde, for all thynges necessarye, for the performacion of it, leste that whan he hah made his foundacion, and can not fy­nysshe his worke that he hath begon, euery man wyll deryde hym sayenge. This man dyd begyn to bylde, but he can not fynyssh or make an ende of his purpose, for a man must consyder the expence before he do be­gyn to buylde, for there goth to buyldynge many a nayle, many pynnes, many lathes and many tyles or sklates, or strawes, besyde other greatter charges, as tymber, bow­des, lyme, sande, stones or brycke, besyde workemanshyp, and the implemētes. But a man the whiche haue prouyde, or hath in store to accomplysse his purpose. And hath chosen a good soyle and place to cituat his howse or mansyon, and that the prospecte be good. And that the ayer be pure fresshe [Page] and clene. Then he that wyll buylde, lette hym make his foundacion vpon a grauell grounde myxt with clay, or els let hym buylde vpon a rocke of stone, or els vpon an hyll or a hylles syde. And ordre and edyfy the howse so that the pryncipall and chefe prospectes may be Easte and West special­ly Northest, Southest, and Southwest, for the merydyall wynde of all wyndes is the most worst, for the South wynde doth cor­rupte. and doth make euyll vapours. The Est wynde is temperat fryske and fragrāt The west wynde is mutable. The North wynde purgeth euyl vapours. wherfore better it is of the two worst that y ^e wyndowes do open playne north, than playne south, although that Ieremy sayth from y ^e north dependyth all euyl And also it is wrytten in Cantica cāticorum. Ryfe vp north wynde, and come thou southwynde and perflat my gardyn, make the hall vnder such a fasshyon, that the parfoure anexed to the hed of the hall. And the buttery and pantry be at the howse ende of the hall, the seller vn­der the pantry, set somwhat abase, the kyt­chyn [Page] set abase from the buttry and pantry cōmynge with an entrye by the wall of the buttry, the pastry howse, & the larder howse anxed to the kytchyn, than deuyde the lod­gynges by the cyrcuyte of the quadryuyall courte, and let the gate howse be opposyte or agaynst the hall dore standynge abase, & the gate howse in the mydle of the fronte entrynge into the place, let the pryue chamber be anexed to the great chamber of estate with other chambers necessarye for the byldynge, so that many of the chambers may haue a prospecte in to the Chapell, yf there be anvtter courte made make it qua­dryuyall with howses of casmētes, but one stable for horses of pleasure, & se no fylthe nor dunge be within the courte, nor cast at the backesyde, but the dunge to be caryed far from the mansion. Also the stables and the slauter howse a dyapery yf any be kept shulde be elongatyd the space of a quarter of a myle from the place. And also the ba­ke howse & brewe howse shuld be a dystance from the place and from other byldynge. whan all the mansyon is edyfyed and bylt [Page] there be a moote made ahoute it, there shulde some fresshe sprynge come to it, and dy­uers tymes the moote ought to be showryd and kept clene from mud and wedes. And in no wyse let not the fylth of the kytchyn descende in to the mote. Furthermore it is a cōmodyous and a pleasaunt thyng to a mansyon to haue an orochorde of sondrye fruytes, but it is more cōmodyous to haue a fayre gardyn repleatyd with herbes of a­romatyke and redolēt sauoures, in the gar­dyn maye be a poole or two for fysshe, yf the pooles be clene kept. Also a parke repletyd with dere and conys, is a necessary and a pleasaunt thynge to be anexed to a mansyon. A done howse also is a necessary thinge aboute a mansyon place. And amonge other thynges a payer of buttes is a decent thynge aboute a mansyon, and other whyle for a great mā necessary it is to passe his tyme with bowles in an aly, whan all this is fynysshed, and the māsyon replenysshed with implemē [...]es, there must be a fyre kept contynually for a space to dry the contagyous moystnes of the walles & the sauoure [Page] of the lyme & sande And after that a man may lye and dwell in the sayde mansyon, without takynge any maner inconuenyence of syckenes.

WHan a man hath bylt his māsyon, and hath his howses necessarye aboute his place, yf he haue not howshold stuffe, or implemētes, the whiche be nedefull, but must borow of his neyghbours, he than is put to a shyfte, and to a great afterdele, for these men the whiche doo brewe in a botell and bake in a walet, it wyll be longe or he can ley Iacke and salet. Yet euery thynge must haue a begynnyng, and euery man must do after his possessions or abylyte, this notwithstan­dynge better it is not to set vp a howsehol­de [Page] or hospytalyte, then to set vp howsholde lackynge the performacion of it, as nowe to ronne for maler, and by & by, for salte, nowe to sende for breade, and by and by to sende for a shepes hed, & nowe to sende for this, and nowe to sende for that, and by & by he doth sende, he can not tel for what / su­che thynges is noo prouysion, but it is a great abusyon. Thus a man shall lose his thryfte. And be put to a shyft, his gooddes shall neuer increase, and he shall not be in rest nor peace, but euer in carke & care. For his purse wyll euer be bare. Wherfore I do counceyll euery man, to prouyde for hym selfe, as soone as he can. For yf of imple­mentes he be destytuted, men wyl call hym syght wytted. To set vp a howse, & is not able to kepe man nor mowse. wherfore let euery mā loke or he lepe. For many cornes maketh a great hope.

WHo so euer he be that wyl kepe an howse, he muste ordre the expenses of his howse accordīg to y ^e rent of his landes. And yf he haue no landes, he must ordre his howse after his lucre wynnynge, or gaynes. For he that wyll spende more ī his howse, than the rent of his landes, or his gaynes doth attayne to, he shall fall in to pouerte, and necessy­te wyll vrge cause and compell hym, to sell his lande or to waste his stocke, as it is dayly sene by experyence of many men, wher­fore they the which wyll exchewe suche pro­dygalyte, and inconuenience, must deuyde his rentes porcyon and expences, wherby he dothe lyue in to thre equall porcions or partes. The fyrste parte must serue to pro­uyde for meate & drinke, and al other necessary thyngꝭ for the sustentacion of the howseholde. The seconde porcion or parte must be reseruyd for aparell not onely for a mā ­nes owne selfe, but for all his howsholde, and for seruauntes wages deductyng some [Page] what of this porcion ī almesse dede to pore neyghbours, and pore people fulfyllynge other of the .vii. workes of mercy. The thyrde porcion or parte must be reseruyd for vr­gent causes in tyme of nede as in syckenes reparacion of howses, with many other cotidyall expences besyde rewardes & the char­ges of a mans laste ende, yf a man do ex­syde this ordre he may soone fall in dette, the whiche is a daungerous thynge many wayes besyde the bryngyng a man to tro­ble. And he that is ones behynde & in trouble, he can not be in quyetnes of mynde, the whiche dothe perturbe the herte, and so consequently doth shorten a mannes lyfe / Wherfore there is noo wyse man, but wyll exchewe this inconuenyence. And wyll cast before what shall folowe after. And in no wyse to set vp a howsholde before he hathe made prouysion to kepe a howse. For yf a man shall bye euery thynge that belon­geth to the kepynge of a howse with his pe­ny, it wyll be longe or he be ryche, and longe or he can kepe a good howse. But he is wyse in any conceyte y ^t wyll haue or he set [Page] vp his howsholde .ii. or .iii. yeres rent in his cofer. And yf he haue no landes, then he muste prouyde for necessary thyngꝭ or that he begyn howsholde, left he repent hym self after, throughe the whiche he do fall in to pensyfulnes, and after that in to syckenes and dyseases, lyuynge not quyetly wherby he shall a breuyat his lyfe.

AFter that a man hath pro­uyded all thynges necessa­rye for his howse, and for his howsholde: expedient it is for hym to knowe howe he shuld exercyse hymself both bodely and ghostly. For there is no catholike or christē man lyuyng, but he is bounde in cōscience to be more circumspecter aboute the welth of his soule, than the health of his bodye. Our sauyoure Iesus Christe sayth: What [Page] shall it profyte to man yf he get al the worlde, and lose hymselfe, and bryng hymselfe to a detryment. Wherfore it appeareth that a man ought to be circumspect for the helth and welth of his soule, for he is boūde so to lyue, that nyght & daye, and at all houres he shuld be redy, than whan he is called for to departe out of this worlde he shulde not fere to dye, sayenge these wordes with S. Ambrose, I fere not to dye, for we haue a good God. Whan a man hath prepared for his soule and hath subdued sensualyte, and that he hath brought hymselfe in a trade or an vsage of a ghostly or catholyke lyuyng in obseruyng the cōmaundementes of god. Than he muste studye to rule and gouerne them the whiche be in his howsholde or vn­der his custody or dominion, to se that they be not ydle. For kyng Henry the .viii. sayd whan he was yonge. Idlenes is cheife maystres of vyces all. And also the heed of an howse must ouer se, that they the whiche be vnder his tuission serue god the holy dayes as dylygentlye se, and more dylygentlyer, than to do theyr worke, the feryall dayes refraynyng [Page] them from vyce and synne, com­pellyng them to obserue the cōmaundementes of God, specyally to punyshe swerers, for in al the world there is not such odeable sweryng as is vsed in Englande, specially amonges youthe and chyldren, whiche is a detestable thynge to here, and no man doth go aboute to punyshe it. Suche thynges reformed, than maye an howsholder be glad, not ceasyng to instruct them the whiche be ygnoraunt, but also he muste contynue in shewynge good example of lyuynge, than may he reioyce in God & be mery, the whi­che myrth and reioysyng doth length a mā nes lyfe, and doth expell syckenes.

WHan a man hath well exercy­sed hymselfe in the dayetyme as is rehersed, he maye slepe soundly & surely in god, what [Page] chaunce soeuer fortune in the nyght. Moderate slepe in most praysed, for it doth make perfyte dygestion. It doth noryshe the blod and doth qualyfy the heate of the lyuer. It doth acuat, quycken, and refreshe, the me­morye. It doth restore nature, & doth quiet all the humours & pulses in man, and doth any mat and comforte all the naturall, ani­mall, and spyrytuall, powers of man. And such moderat slepe is acceptable ī the syght of God, the premises in the aforesayd chapter obserued and kept. And contraryly, im­moderat slepe and sluggyshnes doth humi­ate and make lyght the brayne, it doth en­gendre rewme and Impostumes, it is euyl for the palsy, whether it be vniuersal or pertyculer, It is euyl for the fallyng sycknes called Epilencia, Aualencia, and Catha­lencia, Appoplesia, Soda. With all other infyrmytes in the heed, for it enduseth oblyuyousnes, for it doth obfuske and doth ob­nebulat the memorie and the quyckenes of wyt. And shortely to conclude it doth per­turbe the naturall, anymall and spyrytu­all, powers of man, and specially it doth in [Page] stygat and lede a man to fylle, and doth induce and infarre breuyte of lyfe & detesta­bly it dyspleaseth God. Our Lorde Iesu Christe dyd not onely byd his dysciples to watche, but dyd animat them and all other so to do, sayenge. (I say not onely to you watche) but to all men I say watche. And to Peter he sayd mightest not thou one houre watche with me. Althoughe these holye scriptures with many other mo, the whiche I myght allyg [...]t for me, although they be not greatly refarred to this sēce, yet it may stonde here with my purpose & matter without reprehension. These matters her: nede not greatly to be rehersed. Wherfore I do returne to my purpose, and say that the moderacion of slepe, shuld be mesured according to the naturall complexion of man, and in any wyse to haue a respect to the strength and debelytie to age & youth, and to syckenes & health of man. Fyrst as consernyng the naturall helth of man. Sanguyne and colorycke men .vii. houres of slepe is suff [...] cient for them. And nowe consyderying the imbecilite and wekenes of nature a flumaticke [Page] man may slepe .ix. houres or more: melancoly men may take theyr pleasure, for they be the receptacle and the dredges of al the other humours. Secondly youth & age wolde haue temperaūce in slepyng. Thyrd­ly strength may suffre a bront ī watche the which debelyte and wekenes may not. As I wyl shewe by a famylyer exāple. There was two mē sat at the dyce togyther a day and a nyght, and more, the weke man sayd to hym, I can playe no longer, the stronge man sayd to him, fye on the bench whystler wylt thou start away now, the weke man to satysfy the stronge mans mynde, appetyte and desyre playeth with his felow through the whiche he doth kyll hymself, the strong man doth hymself lytel pleasure, althyngꝭ consydred the whiche I do passe ouer. Wherfore I wyl returne to the sycke man, which may slepe at all tymes, whan he may get it but yf he may slepe at any tyme, best it is for hym to refrayne from slepe in the day & to take his natural rest and slepe in y ^e night and to eschew merydyall slepe, but yf nede shall compel a man to slepe after his meat, [Page] let hym make a pause, & than let him stand and leaue agaynst a cupborde and slepe, or els let hym syt vpright in a chayre & slepe: slepynge after a full stomacke doth ingen­dre dyuers infyrmyties. It doth hurte the splen, it relaxith the synewes, it doth ingendre the dropses and the gowte, & doth make a man loke euyll colored. Bewale of vene­rious actes before the fyrst slepe, and speci­ally beware of suche thynges after dyner, or after a full stomacke, for it doth ingen­dre the crampe and the gowte and other displeasures. To bedward be you mery, or ha­ue mery cōpany about you, so that to bed­ward no anger nor heuines, sorow nor pencifulnes do troble or dysquiet you. To bedward and also in the mornyng vse to haue a fyre in your chambre to waste and consu­me the euyll vapoures within the chambre: for the breth of man may putryfy the ayre within the chambre: I do aduertise you not to stande nor to syt by the fyre, but stande or syt a good way of from the fyre, takyng the flamour of it, for fyre doth aryfye and drye vp a mans blod, and doth make sterk [Page] the synewes and Ioyntes of man. In the nyght let the wyndowes of your howse specially of your chambre be closed. Whan ye be in your bed, lye a lytell whyle on youre left syde, and slepe on your ryght syde, and whan you do wake of your fyrst slepe ma­ke water yf ye fele your bladder charged, & than slepe on the left syde, and loke as ofte as you do wake, so oft turne your self ī the bed from one syde to another. To slepe grouelyng vpon the stomacke and bely, is not good, vnles the stomacke be slowe & tarde of digestion, but better it is to lay your hande or your bedfelowes hande ouer your sto­macke than to lye grouelyng. To slepe on the backe vpright is vtterly to be abhorred whan that you do slepe let not your necke, nother your shulders, nother your handes, nor fete, nor no other place of the body lye bare vndyscouered. Slepe not with an emptye stomacke, nor slepe not after that you haue eaten meate an houre or .ii. after. In your bed lye with your heed somwhat hygh lest that y ^e meate which is in your stomacke thorowe eructuacions or some other cause, [Page] ascende to the orife of the stomack, let your nyght cap be of skarlet, and this I do ad­uertyse you, cause to be made a good thyc­ke quylte of Cotton or els of pure flockes, or of clene wolle, and let the coueryng of it be of whyte fustian, and lay it on the fether bed that you do lye on, and in your bed lye not to hote nor to colde but in temperaūce. Olde auncient doctors of Phisycke sayth. viii. houres of slepe in sōmer: and .ix. houres in wynter is suffycient for any man, but I do thynke that slepe oughte to be taken, as the complexion of man is. whan you aryse in the mornyng, ryse with myrth, and remē bre God. Let your hosen be brusshed within and without: and flauer the insyde of them against the fyre, vse lynyn sockes or lynyn hosen nexte your legges. Whan you be out of your bed stretche forth your legges and armes and your bodye, coughe, & spyt, and than go to your stole of egestyon, and exo­nerate your selfe at all tymes that nature wold expell, for yf you do make any restriction in keping your egestion or your vryne or ventosyte, it may put you to displeasure [Page] in bredynge of dyuers infyrmyties. After you haue vacuated your body, and trussed your poyntes, kayme your heed oft. and so do dyuers tymes in the daye. And wasshe youre handes and wrestes, youre face and eyes, and youre teth, with colde water, and after that you be apparaylled, walke in to your gardayne or in to your Parke a thou­sande paace or two. And then great and noble men doth vse to here the Communy­on. And other men that can not do so, but must apply there busynes, doth serue God with some prayers, surrendrynge thankes vnto hym for his manifolde goodnes, with askynge hym mercy for theyr offences.

And before you go to your refectiō, mode­ratly exercise your body with some labour or playenge at the Tenys, or castyng of a bowle, or pasyng weyghtes or plommettes of lead in your handes, or some other thyn­ge, to open the poores, and to augment na­turall heate. At dyuer and supper vse not to drynke of sondry drynkes, and eate not of dyuers meates, but fede of two or thre dysshes at the moste. After that you haue [Page] dyned and supte, labour not by and by af­ter but make a pause syttynge or standyn­ge vpryghte, the space of an houre or more with some pastyme, drinke not moche after dyner? at your supper vse hyghe meates of dygestyon and refrayne from groose mea­tes, go not to bed with a full nor an emp­tye stomacke. And after your supper make a pause or you go to bed / and go to bed as I sayde with myrth.

FVrthermore as concernynge your ap­parayll. In wynter next your sherte, vse you to were a petycote of skarlet, your Doblet vse at your pleasure, but I do ad­uertyse you to lyne your Iaket vnder this fasshyo [...] or maner, bye you fyne skynnes of whyte Lambe, & blacke Lambe, and let your skynner cut both the sortes of the skynnes in small peces tryangle wyse, lyke hal­fe a qu [...]ell of a glasse wyndowe, and than sewe togyther a whyte pece and a blacke? lyke an whoole quarell of a glasse wyndo­we, and soo sewe vp all togyther, quarell wyse as moche as wyll lyue your Iaket. This Fu [...]re for his holesomnes is praysed [Page] aboue Sables or any other kynde of furre. Your exteriall apparayll vse accordyng to your honour. In sōmer vse to were a skarlet Petycote made of stamell, or of fynse wolfe, in wynter and fōmer kepe not your heed to hote, nor bynde it to strayght, kepe euer your necke warme. In Sommer kepe your necke and face from the sonne, vse to were gloues made of Goote skynnes, per­fumed with Ambre degrece And beware in standynge or syenge on the grounde in the reflection of the sonne, but be mouable.
