Offend^ made his East and West Batteries, with great
Ordnance? and Smail-shot playing from the Waiss,
when you know that Ordnance was not iuvented os

The fourth is in expressing passion or the dispositi-
on of the mind, as to draw Mars like a young Hippo-
Ijtus with an effeminate countenance, Venus like an
Amazon, or that same hotspurd Harp a lice in Virgil;
this proceedeth of a senselesse and over-cold iudse<

The fifth is of Drapery or attire, in not obsecving a
decorum in garments proper to every several condition
and calling , as not giving to a King his Robes of e-
state, with their proper surres and linings: to religious
persons an habite fitting with humility and contempt
of the World j A notable example of this kind I found
in a Gentlemans Hall, which was King Solomon sitting
in his Throne with a deep lac d Gentlewomans Ruff,
and a Rebatoe about his neck, upon his head a black
Velvet cap,with a white feather ; the Queen of Sheba
kneeling before him in a loose-bodied Gown, and a
French- hcod.

Saint Sebajlians Dog,
