[Footnote 238: Ling perhaps looks for great extolling, being counted the beefe of the Sea, and standing every fish day (as a cold supporter) at my Lord Maiors table; yet it is nothing but a long Cod: whereof the greater sised is called Organe Ling, and the other Codling, because it is no longer then a Cod, and yet hath the taste of Ling: _whilst it is new it is called_ GREEN-FISH; when it is salted it is called Ling, perhaps of lying, because the longer it lyeth ... the better it is, waxing in the end as yellow as the gold noble, at which time they are worth a noble a piece. _Muffett_, p. 154-5.] [Footnote 239: A brit or turbret, _rhombus_. Withals, 1556. Bret, Brut, or Burt, a Fish of the Turbot-kind. Phillips.] [Footnote 240: These duties of the Chamberlain, and those of him in the Wardrobe which follow, should be compared with the chapter _De Officio Garcionum_ of “The Boke of Curtasye” ll. 435-520 below. See also the duties and allowances of ‘A Chamberlayn for the King.’ _H. Ord._ p. 31-2. He has only to see that the men under him do the work mentioned in these pages. See office of Warderobe of Bedds, _H. O._ p. 40; Gromes of Chambyr, x, Pages of Chambre, IIII, _H. O._, p. 41, &c. The arraying and unarraying of Henry VII. were done by the Esquires of the Body, _H. Ord._ p. 118, two of whom lay outside his room.] [Footnote 241: A short or small coat worn under the long over-coat. _Petycote, tunicula_, P. P., and ‘.j. _petticote_ of lynen clothe withought slyves,’ there cited from Sir J. Fastolfe’s Wardrobe, 1459. Archæol. xxi. 253. _subucula, le, est etiam genus intimæ vestis_, a peticote. Withals.] [Footnote 242: Vamps or _Vampays_, an odd kind of short Hose or Stockings that cover’d the Feet, and came up only to the Ancle, just above the Shooe; the Breeches reaching down to the Calf of the Leg. Whence to graft a new Footing on old Stockings is still call’d _Vamping_. Phillips. Fairholt does not give the word. The Vampeys went outside the sock, I presume, as no mention is made of them with the socks and slippers after the bath, l. 987; but Strutt, and Fairholt after him, have engraved a drawing which shows that the Saxons wore the sock over the stocking, both being within the shoe. ‘Vampey of a hose--_auant pied_. Vauntpe of a hose--_uantpie_.’ Palsgrave. A.D. 1467, ‘fore _vaunpynge_ of a payre for the said Lew vj.d.’ p. 396, _Manners & Household Expenses_, 1841.] [Footnote 242a: ? _perhaps a comma should go after _hed_, and _‘his cloak or cape’_ as a side-note. But see _cappe_, p. 65, l. 964._]
