Note 120 — Chapter III · THE THIRD VISITATION OF THE DISEASE.—1517.
B. G. (Benjamin Guy) Babington translation
“Now-a-days, if a boy of seven years of age, or a young man of twenty years, have not two caps on his head, he and his friends will think that he may not continue in health; and yet, if the inner cap be not of velvet or satin, a serving-man feareth to lose his credence.” Elyot, in Aikin, p. 64.
