Quotation
Unde et apostoli dixerunt: Non in plicatu capillorum, sicut Petrus docuit, neque in tortis crinibus aut auro et margaritis vel veste pretiosa, ut Paulus asseruit, sed magis interioris hominis ornamenta feminis requirenda, quoniam ille absconditus cordis homo, qui est pauper saeculo, ipse est locuples deo.
