You will not have them like the Jewes at Rome wear party coloured garments, to be known from Christians? By no means sir, we would have every one take notice of them, but Marshals men, Beadles, and Constables, and therefore have ordained that they shall wear Beaver Hats, Poked Russes, Grogram Gowns, or at the best wrought Taffeta, Fox Skin muffs, Mohair petticoats, Bodkins and Cross-cloths edged with gold lace. This is the habit of our Rotterdamians. The only shape to hide a striker in: ever while you Live, your city is most secure from officers, and most Notorious to gentlemen, they will take up your city beware at Any rate. Besides while they slanted it in plush, 'Twas an abuse to gentlewomen and Ladies, we have erred in Questioning them for females of our tribe, and had our pates Broke for it. But Cosen is this edict generally confirmed by all the society of the Twibillers' Knights and Ladies. 'tis universal cosen, only for Captain Pirke's name, we left a blank, there's the decree sir, read it if you please. 'twas the safest course to leave a blank for me, or I had Blanked your whole decree! I had by magnanimity. Imprimis, I Captain Furibundo Fortress. A fearful name that same. Knight great master of the order of Twibill: Lord of no Cloak, Viscount Ratan, cane and one spur. You are but an ill cock of the game it seems. Count Freese, grey Felt, and money-lack, Duke of Turnbull, Bloomesbury, and Rotten Row, Lord paramount of all garden-alleys, Gun Ally, and Rosemary Lane. He has more titles than the great Turk. Proceed sir. Chief commander of all Twibills, dangerfeild and whiskins, who will quarrel in Taverns with a man, and not fight in the field with a mouse. And of the residue of the fraternities of huffs, divers dams and decoys, sole sultan and grand signeur, have to the premises set my mighty hand, together with hands of our trusty and our courageous assistants (this blank's for you Captain Pike) Holofernes Makeshift, Rosiran Knockdowne, and twenty six more of our principal companions of the order. Nay there are others too, bury not their appellations in oblivion, they merit memory. To which at our command also are subsigned our most illustrious and remarkable sisters (they are slit nosed perhaps) (there was a touch for them cosen Fortress) Donna Isabella, Garreta, mother of the maids of Lambeth Marsh, with her conspicuous consort, at the three skipping coneys in the town. (a touch that) you mean the three Squirrels, you are cunning cosen Fortress, together with our most industrious servant Pythagoras' Pig. I gave him that name from his transmigration into cast suits, who has put his petty toes to it, and finally the woman that sings ballads, has her name trundled at the tail of it. I marvel master Doctor has not set his hand to this.
