ENGLAND TO QUEEN ELIZABETH. 263 In the list of the Protestant refugees in England, 1563 to 1571, 59 among their trades, it is stated “ some live by making matches of hempe stalks, and parchment lace.” Again, Sir Eobert Bowes, “ once ambassador to Scotland,” in his inventory, 1553, has “One cassock of wrought velvet with p’chment lace of gold.” 60 “ Parchment lace 61 of watchett and syllver at 7s. Sd. the ounce,” appears also among the laces of Queen Elizabeth. 62 King Charles I. has his carpet bag trimmed with “ broad parch ment gold lace,” 63 his satin nightcaps with gold and silver parch ment laces, 64 and even the bag and comb case “ for His Majesty’s barber ” is decorated with “ silver purle and parchment lace.” 65 Again, Charles II. ornaments the seats on both sides the throne with silver parchment lace. 66 In many of the inventories circa 1590, “ sylke parchment lace ” is noted down, and “ red ” and “ green parchment lace,” again, appear among the wares “ in ye Stuffes.” 67 The term seems most generally associated with gold or silver, otherwise, we should consider it as merely referring to needle- made lace, which is made on a parchment pattern. 59 “ State Papers,” vol. lxxxii.
