Let your hands be exercised with wool, let ⟨p. 366⟩your feet keep at home, and be fixed in the house, and they wi •l please much more, then if they were all in gold; clothe your selves with the silk of goodness and virtue, with the fine lining of holiness, with the purpure of chastity, and being after this fashion painted and adorned, ye will have God to be your Lover. Which notably agreeth with what the Astles say, 1 Tim. 2. v. 9, 10. In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety, not with broidered hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array: But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. 1 Pet. 3.1, 2, especially 3, 4, 5. Whose adorning, let it not be that outward adorning, of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel. But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. For after this manner in the old time, the holy women also who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands. See also Tit. 2. v. 4, 5.
