Q. VVhat learne you from thence?
A. That howsoever our condition and state of calling afford us better array, yet we learn even in the best of our clothes, to be humbled by them; as those which are given us to cover our shame, and carry always the mark and badge of our sin; especially when these, which were even after the fall, the goodliest creatures that ever lived, learned that lesson by them.
