and Unlawfull Unto Christians: In which
There are Likewise Some Passages Collected
Out of Fathers, Councells, and Sundry Authors,
and Historians, Against Face-painting, the Wearing
of Supposititious, Poudred, Frizled,
Or Extraordinary Long Haire,

and Womens Mannish, Unnaturall, Impudent,
and Unchristian Cutting of Their Haire,
the Epidemicall Vanities, and Vices of Our Age
