In Wickliffe's _Commentaries upon the Ten Commandments_, in the
midst of a moral exhortation, he manages, by a few bold touches, to give
us a picture of the fashionable head-dress of his day:--
"And let each woman beware, that neither by countenance, nor by array of
body nor of head, she stir any to covet her to sin. Not crooking
(curling) her hair, neither laying it up on high, nor the head arrayed
about with gold and precious stones; not seeking curious clothing, nor
of nice shape, showing herself to be seemly to fools. For all such
arrays of women St. Peter and St. Paul, by the Holy Ghost's teaching,
openly forbid."
