That egregi- ous Puritan, writing in 1583, left no custom nor habit of his time untouched by the finger of his scorn. He was not content to reprove such sins as covetousness and usury, in which reproof he would have won the sympathy of 152 LETTERS OF AN ENGLISHMAN all honest men. He found fault with all the decorative arts, which embellish life. His quick eye detected crime in a jerkin, infamy in a ruff. Sumptuous apparel in man or woman was hateful to his jealous mind. Above all, the diversity... of hats appalled his modest soul. Some were sharp on the crown, he moaned, others fiat and broad, and all were the inventions of the Evil One. 'And thus in vanity, ' said he, ' they spend the Lord his treasure, consuming their golden years and silver days in wickedness and sin. ' These are grave words to be wasted on so small an in- cident of man's life as head-gear. After all, it was then, as it is now, the fashion to go covered abroad, and even Stubbes himself wore a hat. But his was banded, and herein lay a great virtue.
