Then my husband, in a very rich suit of clothes of a dark fillemorte
brocade laced with silver and gold lace, nine laces, every one as
broad as my hand, and a little silver and gold lace laid between them,
both of very curious workmanship; his suit was trimmed with scarlet
taffety ribbon; his stockings of white silk upon long scarlet silk
ones; his shoes black, with scarlet shoe-strings and garters; his
linen very fine, laced with very rich Flanders lace; a black beaver,
buttoned on the left side, with a jewel of twelve hundred pounds
value. A rich curious-wrought gold chain, made in the Indies, at which
hung the King his Master's picture, richly set with diamonds, cost 300
pounds which his Majesty, in great grace and favour, had been pleased
to give him at his coming home from Portugal. On his fingers he wore
two rich rings; his gloves trimmed with the same ribbon as his
clothes. All his whole family were very richly clothed, according to
their several qualities. Upon my husband's left hand rode the Marquis
of Malpica, Captain of the German guard, and the Mayor-domo to his
Majesty, being that week in waiting: by him went all the German guard,
and by them my husband's eight pages, clothed all in velvet, the same
colour as our liveries; next them followed his Catholic Majesty's
coach, and my husband's coach of state with four black horses, the
finest that ever came out of England, none going in this Court
