Hear, ye women; hear, ye men; we need not these garments that are bespangled with gold, that adorn our outward parts,but those others, that adorn the inward. Whilst we have these former, it is difficult to put on those latter. It is not possible at the same time to deck both soul and body. It is not possible at the same time both to serve mammon, and to obey Christ as we ought.
