Let us therefore put on us Jesus Christ. Let us cover us under his apparel, as Jacob covered him self under the coat of his brother Esau, & so let us present our selves before our heavenly father. The phrase of putting on ⟨image 121⟩is usual: whereby he meaneth, we must be wholly clad, & possessed with Christ. In like phrase it is said in the twelve of the revelation. There appeared 1a great wonder in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun. And in the 104. psalm. My soul praise thou the Lord O my God 2thou art exceeding great, thou art clothed with glory & honour. And which covereth himself with light, as with a garment. And to the Colos. Put on tender mercy, kindness. humbleness of mind, meekness, long suffering. 3Chrysostom saith, Dominum ipsum, quod horribile est vestimenti loco tradit. Behold, he giveth us Christ to be put on as a garment, 4which is a heinous thing to be spoken. It passeth all sense of nature, it passeth the judgement of flesh and blood.
Let vs therefore put on vs Iesus Christ. Let vs couer vs vnder his apparell, as Iacob couered him selfe vnder the coat of his brother Esau, & so let vs present our selues before our heauenly father. The phrase of puttinge on ⟨image 121⟩is vsuall: wherby he meaneth, we must be wholy clad, & possessed with Christ. In like phrase it is said in the twelfe of the reuelation. There appeared 1a great wonder in heauen, a woman clothed with the sun. And in the 104. psalm. My soule prayse thou the Lorde O my God 2thou art exceeding great, thou art clothed with glory & honour. And which couereth himself with light, as with a garmēt. And to the Colos. Put on tender mercie, kindnesse. humblenes of minde, meeknes, long suffering.
