[ 1312] Holinesse, an excellent thing.
ALexander coming with his Army against Ierusalem,* 1.1Jaddus the high Priest
went out of the City to meet him, adorned with his Priestly robes, an upper
garment of Purple embroydered with gold, and a golden Plate on the fore-side,
wherein the Name of God was written; The sight was so grave and solemn,
that the Emperour fell to the ground, as reverencing the Name that was thereon
inscribed. Thus it is,* 1.2 that in Holinesse there is such a sparkling luster, that
whosoever behold it, must needs be astonished at it; Nay, even those that op∣pose
it cannot but admire it; Holinesse is an excellent thing, a beautiful thing, it
carries a gracefull Majesty along with it, wheresoever, or in whomsoever it is
truly and sincerely professed.
