1 Peter3:4
Verſe 4. But let it be the hidden] Veſtite vos ſerico pietatis, byſſino ſanctitatis, purpur â pudicitia, Talitèr pigmentata Deum habebitis amatorem. It is Tertullians counſel to young women,Lib. de cult ſoe[illegible: 2 letters]; Cloth your ſelves, ſaith he, with the ſilk of piety, with the ſattin of ſanctity, with the purple of modeſty: So ſhall you have God himſelf to be your ſutor.
In that Which is not corruptible] Or, In the incoruption of a meek a quiet spirit, &c. a garment that will never be the worſe for wearing, but the better.
Of great price] God makes great reckoning of a quiet minde, becauſe it is like himſelf. He promiſeth earth to the meek, and heaven to the incorrupt or ſincere, and pure in heart.
