We have been long enough in the house, let us walk abroad, and show you how the People demean themselves without doors.

[Their manner of Salutations.] When they meet one another, their manner of Salutation or obeisance is, to hold forth their two hands, the Palms upwards, and bow their Bodies:  but the superior to the inferior holds forth but one hand, and if the other be much beneath, him he only nods his head.  The women salute by holding up both their hands edgways to their Foreheads.  The general complement one to another at first meeting is to say Ay; it signifies how do you:  and the other answers, Hundoi, that is, well.

[The Nobles in their best Apparel.] The Habit of the men when they appear abroad is after this sort.  The Nobles wear Doublets of white or blew Callico, and about their middle a cloth, a white one next their skin, and a blew one or of some other colour or painted, over the white:  a blew or shash girt about their loyns, and a Knife with a carved handle wrought or inlaid with Silver sticking in their bosom; and a compleat short Hanger carved and inlaid with Brass and Silver by their sides, the Scabbard most part covered with Silver; bravely ingraven; a painted Cane and sometimes a Tuck in it in their hands, and a boy always bare-headed with long hair hanging down his back waiting upon him, ever holding a small bag in his hand, which is instead of a Pocket, wherein is Betel-leaves and nuts.  Which they constantly keep chewing in their mouths, with Lime kept in a Silver Box rarely engraven, which commonly they hold in their hands, in shape like a Silver Watch.

[The fashion of their hair.] The great ones also generally, and spruce young men, do wear their hair long hanging down behind:  but when they do any work or travail hard, it annoying them, they tie it up behind.  Heretofore generally they bored holes in their ears and hung weights in them to make them grow long, like the Malabars, but this King not boring his, that fashion is almost left off.  The men for ornament do wear Brass, Copper, Silver Rings on their Fingers, and some of the greatest Gold.  But none may wear any Silk.

But the women in their Apparel do far surpass the men, neither are they so curious in clothing themselves as in making their wives fine.  The mens Pride consists in their Attendance, having men bearing Arms before and behind them.

[The Women drest in their bravery.] In their houses the women regard not much what dress they go in, but so put on their cloths as is most convenient for them to do their work.  But when they go abroad, and make themselves fine, They wear a short Frock with sleeves to cover their bodies of fine white Callico wrought with blew and red Thread in flowers and branches:  on their Arms Silver Bracelets, and their fingers and toes full of Silver Rings, about their necks, Necklaces of Beads or Silver, curiously wrought and engraven, guilded with Gold, hanging down so low as their brests.  In their ears hang ornaments made of Silver set with Stones, neatly engraven and guilded.  Their ears they bore when they are young, and rowl Coker-nut leaves and put into the holes to stretch them out, by which means they grow so wide that they stand like round Circles on each side of their faces, which they account a great ornament, but in my Judgment a great deformity, they being well featured women.
