Tertullian,
Ante-Nicene Fathers Vol. IV, Tertullian…
(1885)
“ A grand blasphemy is that by which it is said, “Ever since she became a Christian, she walks in poorer garb!” Will you fear to appear poorer, from the time that you have been made more wealthy; and fouler, [5] from the time when you have been made more clean? Is it according to the decree [6] of Gentiles, or according to the decree of God, that it becomes Christians to walk? ”
