How is this Commandement broken in apparrell?
What are the reasons hereof?
God would have every sex hereby maintained, that the man should not be effeminate, nor the woman mannish. Secondly, to avoid a most notorious occasion of shameful sin, as of a man committing sin with man, and woman with woman: for if a man may be inflamed with a wanton picture painted; much more by a lively image and portracture of the sex. Thirdly, it is a dishonour to a man to belie his sex, and to spoil himself of the dignity God hath given him; and presumption for a woman to desire the representation of a better sex then God hath set her in.
