linen: "As many of you," the Apostle says, "as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ." For "He is the chief corner-stone, elect." Or, if the singular be understood to be put for the plural, it signifies various ornaments of virtues. Another translation has, "white linen," which indicates mortification of the flesh in teachers, according to this, "I chastise my body, and subject it to servitude, lest perchance, while preaching to others, I myself be found reprobate."
