He covereth all our spots, he abolisheth our shameful nakedness, decketh us with all kind of virtues, that we may appear honest and comely before God in holy conversation. For Christ is the wedding garment. The Apostle counselleth us to put on Christ, & that we be apparelled with righteousness, temperance, and all goodness. The places be in the .13. to the Romans. Ephes. 4. Colos. 3. chapt. Away here with the cowl of our Lady, under the which gather for the most part wicked and impenitent persons. The most pure virgin covereth not such,1 she loveth righteousness and repentance.
