Contrary to this, is the practice of most servants now a days, whom by their apparel a man cannot distinguish from the children, no not from their masters and mistresses themselves; all their wages, and what-ever else they can get, either from their friends, or by purloining oft times, from their master, or by other means, it is all spent in apparel. And if the master and mistress make conscience of going soberly, the servants will many times go• finer than they. So much for reverence.
