29. Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame. It is a prophecy as well as a wish, and may we read both in the indicative and the imperative. Where sin is the underclothing, shame will soon be the outer vesture. He who would clothe good people with contempt will himself be clothed with dishonor. And let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. Let their confusion be broad enough to wrap them all over from head to foot; let them bind it about them and hide themselves in it, as being utterly afraid to be seen.
