“As the index tells us the contents of stories and directs to the particular chapter, even so does the outward habit and superficial order of garments (in man or woman) give us a taste of the spirit, and demonstratively point (as it were a manual note from the margin) all the internal quality of the soul; and there cannot be a more evident, palpable, gross manifestation of poor, degenerate, dunghilly blood and breeding than a rude, unpolished, disordered, and slovenly outside.” MenGivingDoeSoulStoriesSpiritOrderPoorQualityBloodParticularHabitTasteNotesManifestationInternalsChaptersRudeSuperficialEvidentGrossMarginsGarmentsBreedingManualsDegenerates Book:The plays of Philip Massinger, with notes by W.

We can inquire.” WayFirstsKindDifferentCan DoAbilitySeeingAwarenessJudgingHabitMindfulnessOrdinaryStrategyNotesAll KindsClarityOur ThoughtsLenses Author:Mark Coleman
