It includes " Fine gloves for little dames Furred gloves Wimples dyed in saffron Kerchiefs with ties of silk and of linen embroidered with flowers or birds for the young beaux to coif themselves in presence of their sweethearts Hempen ones for the clowns Muffles for the hands Hose of Bruges Stamped leather red and green, white and black Pretty little girdles Buckles for girdles Leather purses with buttons Silk and linen purses Little chains of steel Laces for surcoats with knots Lace tags Shoe buckles Broaches of brass and of lateen gilt or silvered Fine tassels for fixing with great buttons of gold or silk Silver and brass pins Needles Thimbles " |
