=3. 2. 35 Scarfes.= ‘Much worn by knights and military officers in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.’--Planché. =3. 2. 35 Cornehill.= Cornhill, between the Poultry and Leadenhall Street, an important portion of the greatest thoroughfare in the world, was, says Stow, ‘so called of a corn market time out of mind there holden.’ In later years it was provided with a pillory and stocks, a prison, called the Tun, for street offenders, a conduit of ‘sweet water’, and a standard. See Wh-C. =3. 2. 38 the posture booke.= A book descriptive of military evolutions, etc. H. Peacham’s _Compleat Gentleman_, 1627 (p. 300, quoted by Wheatley, _Ev. Mall in_), gives a long list of ‘Postures of the Musquet’ and G. Markham’s _Souldier’s Accidence_ gives another. Cf. _Tale Tub_, _Wks._ 6. 218: --All the postures Of the train’d bands of the country. =3. 2. 41 Finsbury.= In 1498, ‘certain grounds, consisting of gardens, orchards, &c. on the north side of _Chiswell-street_, and called _Bunhill_ or _Bunhill-fields_, within the manor of _Finsbury_, were by the mayor and commonalty of _London_, converted into a large field, containing 11 acres, and 11 perches, now known by the name of the _Artillery-ground_, for their train-bands, archers, and other military citizens, to exercise in.’--Entick, _Survey_ 1. 441. In 1610 the place had become neglected, whereupon commissioners were appointed to reduce it ‘into such order and state for the archers as they were in the beginning of the reign of King Henry VIII.’ (_Ibid._ 2. 109). See also Stow, _Survey_, ed. Thoms, p. 159. Dekker (_Shomaker’s Holiday_, _Wks._ 1. 29) speaks of being ‘turnd to a Turk, and set in Finsburie for boyes to shoot at’, and Nash (_Pierce Pennilesse_, _Wks._ 2. 128) and Jonson (_Bart. Fair_, _Wks._ 4. 507) make precisely similar references. Master Stephen in _Every Man in_ (_Wks._ 1. 10) objects to keeping company with the ‘archers of Finsbury.’ Cf. also the elaborate satire in _U._ 62, (_Wks._ 8. 409). =3. 2. 45 to traine the youth= =Of London, in the military truth.= Cf. _Underwoods_ 62: Thou seed-plot of the war! that hast not spar’d Powder or paper to bring up the youth Of London, in the military truth. Gifford believes these lines to be taken from a contemporary posture-book, but there is no evidence of quotation in the case of _Underwoods_. =3. 3. 22, 3 This comes of wearing= =Scarlet, gold lace, and cut-works!= etc. Webster has a passage very similar to this in the _Devil’s Law Case_, _Wks._ 2. 37 f.:
