Posidonius,1 writing the life of S. Augustine, saith thus, Vestis eius, & calceamenta, & lectualia ex moderato, & compe•enu habitu erant: nec nitida nimi•mx, nec abiecta plurimùm. Quia his plerunque vel jactare se nimiùm homines solent, vel abijcere: ex utroque non quae Jesu Christi, sed quae sua sunt, quaerentes: Augustines Apparel, shoes, and Bedding were of a Competent, and mean making: neither over fresh, nor over homely. For in such things men use oftentimes, either to vaunt, or to abase them selves above measure: in either side seeking their own, and not that pertaineth to Jesus Christ.

S. Augustine saithe, 1Ex coeteris eius operibus potest conijci, utrùm hoc Contemptu superflui cultus, an Ambition aliqua faciat. Quia & sub ovina pelle cavendos Lupos Dominus praecepit: We may gather by the rest of his works, whether he do thus (attire him self) in contempt of Superfluous Apparel, or else for Ambition, that he aie be noted. For our Lord hath commanded us to beware of the Wolf, even under the Sheep's skin.
