It may seem superfluous, but it is not altogether: for Garments are for 3. ends.

Now purple, however it be not for necessity, it is for ornament, and distinction, for Magistrates, and the like, persons of great quality. How-ever the pride of the times hath ⟨p. 17⟩bred a confusion, that one will go as well as another yet God that allows distinction of callings, and persons, allows distinction of habit, and attire Therefore selling of purple is lawful and the wearing of rich attire.
