Note 699 — Chapter XI · A COMPENDIOUS VIEW OF THE CHRISTIAN LIFE.
William Wilson translation
Plato’s words are: “The web is not to be more than a woman’s work for a month. White colour is peculiarly becoming for the gods in other things, but especially in cloth. Dyes are not to be applied, except for warlike decorations.”—Plato, De Legibus, xii. 992.
