A certaine woman named Lydia, &c.
She is described First by her person,1 and sex, a certain woman. By her name Lydia. By her calling a seller of purple. By her city Thiatira. By her pious disposition, she worshipped God. And then her conversion ⟨p. 6⟩is set down, by the cause of it. God opened her heart.
