3 Whatsoever the out side be, look to the linings. Mens cujusque is est quisque. The body is more worth than the raiment; therefore the soul is more worth than the body; for the body is but the raiment of the soul. Why despisest thou thy poor brother? I have more lands: haply, and more sins. I have braver apparel: a neat out-side, and a sluttish inside. I am fairer; perhaps in face, and fouler in heart. Thou art rich in the poor commodities of this world: and poor in the rich commodities of the other: peacock look down to thy feet.

3 Whatsoever the out side be, looke to the linings. Mens cujusque is est quisque. The body is more worth than the rayment; therefore the soule is more worth than the body; for the body is but the rayment of the soule. Why despisest thou thy poore brother? I have more lands: haply, and more sinnes. I have braver apparell: a neat out-side, and a sluttish inside. I am fairer; perhaps in face, and fouler in heart. Thou art rich in the poore commodities of this world: and poore in the rich commodities of the other: peacocke looke downe to thy feete.

4 There is only one garment worth having and saving.^u Put you on the Lord Jesus Christ: this is Stola prima, ^xthe best robe. The Papists buy the beggarly righteousness of sorry Saints, and neglect this. We have worn our own innocence to rags, let us put on Christs. Though our garment of inherent righteousness be very thin; yet if it be lined with Christs imputed righteousness, it shall keep us warm: if embroidered with his, it shall make us acceptable to God. If we love a silken garment woven out of the bowels of a worm: how much more should we love the garment woven out of the bowels of Jesus Christ! Thus hath God allowed to some a great measure of honour, a great measure of riches, a great measure of prosperity; but to none one dram of pride.
