... Bless the Lord, O my soul. Let the soul of us all, made one in Christ, say this. O Lord my God, You are magnified exceedingly! Psalm 103:1. Where are You magnified? Confession and beauty You have put on. Confess ye, that you may be beautified, that He may put you on. Clothed with light as a garment Psalm 103:2. Clothed with His Church, because she is made light in Him, who before was darkness in herself, as the apostle says: You were sometime darkness, but now light in the Lord. [[Ephesians 5.8]] Stretching out the heaven like a skin: either as easily as thou dost a skin, if it be as easily, so that you may take it after the letter; or let us understand the authority of the Scriptures, spread out over the whole world, under the name of a skin; because mortality is signified in a skin, but all the authority of the Divine Scriptures was dispensed unto us through mortal men, whose fame is still spreading abroad now they are dead.
