Reading edition
The 11 of December it was faire weather and a clear aire,326 but very cold, which he that felt not would not beleeue, for our shoos327 froze as hard as hornes vpon our feet, and within they were white frozen, so that we could not weare our shooes, but were forced to make great pattens,328 ye vpper part being ship329 skins, which we put on ouer three or foure paire of socks, and so went in them to keepe our feet warme.
