This may teach us the readiest way to the White Robe, to the Robe of Honour: It is to keep our ⟨p. 60⟩selves from sinful practises. Certainly they who please God, he can make the World to honour them. If God approve of us, he can make the World to approve of us too. If God see our Garments in the dirt, and spotted with the filth of the World, it will spoil the Honour we should have in the World.
They who defile their Garments lose their Honour with men, and they lose the Joy they should have hereafter.
