Apparel Distinguishes the Quality of the Person.

Pr. They say, That apparell is for diśtinćtion of qualities of perſons, &c. See page 36.

Anſ. That is but in the world; for that which diſtinguiſhes perſons is the Word, the perſon of Chriſt from the perſons of Adam in the fall, and who be in the transgreſſion, and who be out of it; and who be veſſels of honour and diſhonour; and your wearing of gold and coſtly apparell, it diſtinguiſheth you from the Apoſtles doćtrine. And the holy women of old which was honourable, it was not the apparell that made them ſo to be, but the hidden man of the heart which was of great price to the Lord, which were brought to do the command of God: That honour which is in the world for cloaths and reſpećt, God will stain, which stands the worlds honour in tranſgreſſion.
