their gold, and silver, precious stones, and pearls, fine linnen, and purple, their silk, scarlet, and all sort of citron wood, their various vessels of ivory, and of precious wood, of brass, iron, and marble:

crying, alas, alas, that great city, that was cloathed in fine linnen, purple, and scarlet: decked with gold, precious stones and pearls:

for she was permitted to be arrayed in fine linnen, clean and white: for the fine linnen represents the virtues of the saints."

and the armies of heaven followed him upon white horses, cloathed in fine linnen, white and clean.
