[The lower ranks may not assume the Habit or Names of the higher. ] Allbelow the Couratto or Elephant-Men, may not sit on Stools, norwear Doublets, except the Barbar, nor wear the Cloth low down theirLegs. Neither may any of these ranks of People, either Man or Woman, except the Potter and the Washer, wear the end of their Cloth to covertheir Bodies, unless they be sick or cold. Neither may they presume tobe called by the Names that the Hondrews are called b...y; nor may they, where they are not known, change themselves by pretending or seemingto be higher than Nature hath made them: and I think they never do, but own themselves in the rank and quality wherein they were born, and demean themselves accordingly.
