Speak unto the Children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes, in the borders of their garments, throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a Ribbon of bl•w, and it shall be unto you as a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the Lord, and do them, and that you seek not after your own heart, and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring, that you may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God; which Law is repeated again, Deut. 22.12.

Their principal vanities about these things having been represented by others out of Maimonides his Treatise on that subject, need not here be repeated.
