Note 21 — Chapter I
Reading edition
Scobell, 121. May 10, 1650. The Parliamentary History, vol. iii. 1347, states that on the 7th of June a bill was ordered to be read on the Friday evening ensuing against the vice of painting, the wearing of black patches, and the immodest dresses of women. But no mention is made of it in the Journal of that day nor in Scobell's Acts.
