They prayed Christs blood might bee upon them, and upon their Children, it is so, it follows and haunts them where ever they go; few States and Kingdoms entertain them, and where they are entertained, they are kept under, and made to endure very hard things, the State serving their own ends by them. In most places they use (if Christians) to distinguish them from others by place of dwelling by themselves, and some distinctive habit, as their own Chronologer tels us, that at Vepice such a yeer the Jews were commanded to wear a yellow Hat, that they might be known from Christians.

Thomas Fuller, A Pisgah-Sight of Palestine (London: J. F. for John Williams, 1650):
Although it be probable, that the ancient Iews generally went bare-headed (making use with Elijah of their Mantles, or upper garments, in tempestuous weather, wrapping their heads, as he his face therein) yet we finde them in after ages wearing Hats on their heads, with which the three children were cast into the fiery furnace. Not, that they were like those we wear now adays, (a meer modern invention since round flat caps were disused) but, are termed Hats by analogy, though not of the same form, for the same service, the coverture of the head.
