these_o superfluity_n wise_a man_n have_v complain_v in_o most_o age_n in_o the_o primitive_a church_n when_o man_n prize_v religion_n at_o a_o high_a rate_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n very_o common_a for_o person_n who_o be_v convert_v for_o woman_n especial_o when_o god_n be_v please_v to_o give_v they_o a_o vehement_a desire_n after_o the_o felicity_n of_o the_o next_o life_n to_o sell_v all_o

and_o to_o putrify_v in_o the_o grave_a and_o think_v while_o they_o be_v curious_a in_o dress_v and_o cover_v their_o body_n they_o shall_v forget_v to_o trim_v their_o soul_n and_o while_o their_o

natural_o more_o prone_a to_o this_o delight_n so_o the_o apostle_n in_o give_v precept_n about_o clothing_n do_v in_o a_o peculiar_a manner_n address_v themselves_o to_o they_o just_o suppose_v that_o 3_o if_o it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o they_o man_n who_o have_v not_o ordinary_o that_o inclination_n nor_o those_o temptation_n to_o it_o that_o they_o have_v aught_o to_o think_v themselves_o

they_o be_v so_o far_o forbid_v as_o they_o be_v impediment_n to_o godliness_n to_o shame-facedness_a sobriety_n modesty_n good_a work_n and_o the_o growth_n of_o the_o hide_a man_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o to_o that_o ornament_n of_o a_o meek_a and_o quiet_a spirit_n which_o be_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n of_o great_a price_n as_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o opposition_n the_o apostle_n make_v between_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o and_o that_o delight_n in_o such_o clothes_n be_v a_o great_a enemy_n to_o all_o these_o i_o need_v produce_v no_o other_o argument_n but_o what_o be_v draw_v from_o common_a experience_n that_o which_o be_v usual_o plead_v for_o people_n col._n go_v rich_a and_o splendid_a that_o by_o do_v so_o they_o set_v poor_a man_n to_o work_v who_o will_v be_v at_o a_o loss_n for_o a_o livelihood_n if_o they_o do_v not_o take_v off_o their_o commodity_n such_o as_o modish_a lace_n ribbon_n silk_n velvet_n embroidery_n etc._n etc._n be_v a_o pretence_n rather_o than_o a_o argument_n and_o seem_v rather_o invent_v as_o a_o salvo_n for_o people_n vanity_n than_o a_o testimony_n of_o the_o sincerity_n of_o their_o intention_n for_o not_o to_o mention_v that_o at_o this_o rate_n man_n may_v argue_v that_o player_n fencer_n bull-baiters_a juggler_n etc._n etc._n will_v want_v employment_n if_o man_n do_v not_o go_v to_o see_v their_o sport_n be_v there_o no_o person_n to_o take_v off_o such_o thing_n at_o their_o hand_n man_n will_v betake_v themselves_o to_o other_o trade_n and_o calling_n and_o profession_n however_o in_o these_o case_n it_o be_v worth_a examine_v our_o conscience_n whether_o we_o wear_v these_o thing_n out_o of_o compassion_n to_o the_o poor_a workman_n or_o out_o of_o pride_n and_o delight_n in_o the_o pomp_n and_o splendour_n of_o the_o world_n and_o if_o we_o deal_v faithful_o with_o our_o heart_n we_o shall_v soon_o find_v that_o the_o pity_n we_o pretend_v to_o the_o workman_n be_v only_o a_o cloak_n to_o cover_v the_o secret_a satisfaction_n we_o take_v in_o conform_v to_o the_o world_n and_o this_o be_v evident_a from_o hence_o that_o let_v the_o workman_n work_v never_o so_o hard_a if_o the_o thing_n they_o make_v be_v not_o exact_o in_o the_o fashion_n i_o see_v no_o person_n so_o chritable_a as_o to_o take_v it_o off_o of_o their_o hand_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o a_o woman_n who_o be_v marry_v be_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n oblige_v to_o please_v her_o husband_n and_o the_o apostle_n seem_v to_o allow_v so_o much_o 1_o cor._n 7._o 34._o and_o from_o hence_o this_o conclusion_n be_v common_o draw_v that_o if_o it_o be_v the_o husband_n pleasure_n that_o the_o wife_n shall_v go_v fine_a and_o gaudy_a it_o be_v her_o duty_n to_o obey_v nor_o do_v i_o perceive_v that_o divine_n do_v ordinary_o find_v fault_n with_o this_o conclusion_n for_o fine_a clothes_n be_v thing_n in_o themselves_o indifferent_a lawful_a or_o unlawful_a according_a to_o the_o end_n and_o design_n man_n and_o woman_n have_v in_o they_o and_o the_o use_n they_o make_v of_o they_o if_o the_o party_n conscience_n that_o wear_v they_o bear_v her_o witness_n that_o not_o 95._o out_o of_o any_o delight_n or_o satisfaction_n or_o secret_a pleasure_n in_o such_o gaud_n and_o empty_a thing_n but_o mere_o out_o of_o obedience_n to_o her_o husband_n she_o both_o buy_v and_o put_v they_o on_o much_o may_v be_v say_v in_o her_o justification_n for_o though_o this_o desire_n in_o her_o husband_n may_v be_v irregular_a and_o a_o argument_n that_o he_o have_v no_o very_a great_a sense_n of_o religion_n yet_o the_o thing_n be_v in_o itself_o indifferent_a the_o wife_n in_o this_o case_n may_v lawful_o comply_v as_o mother_n and_o nurse_n please_v froward_a child_n by_o whistle_v or_o sing_v a_o
