John Trapp on 1 Corinthians 11:14

Verſe 14. That if a man have long hair] Buſhes of vanity, which they will never part with (ſaid Marbury) untill the devil put a caudle into the buſh. But our Gallants object, That the Apoſtle here intendeth ſuch hair as is as long as womens hair. Whereunto we anſwer. That Homer calleth the Greeks hair-nouriſhing men, who yet did not wear their hair long as women. [non-Latin text not transcribed] Home[illegible: 1 letter] How Cromwell handled the ſhag-haired ruffian; See Acts and Monuments of the Church, folio 1083. How God hath puniſhed this unnaturall ſin by that loathſome and horrible diſeaſe in the hair, called Plica Polonica; See Hercules de Saxonia: And out of him Mr Bolion in his four laſt things, pag 40. It begun firſt (ſaith he) not many years ago in Poland: It is now entered into many parts of Germany. And methinks our monſtrous faſhioniſts both male and female, the one for nouriſhing their horrid buſhes of vanity: the other for their moſt unnaturall and curſed cutting their hair, ſhould every hour fear and tremble, leſt they ſhould bring it upon their own heads, and amongſt us in this kingdom.Daniels Hiſt: 67. Our henry 1. repreſſed the wearing of long hair: which though it were a gaiety of no charge, yet for the undecency thereof, he reformed it, and all other diſſoluteneſſe.
