Let the royal image show forth
Consider that your soul is an image. Before daubing on
the true color of the Spirit, erase the bad habits which have become implanted
in you, whether it be swearing, lying, uttering insults, foul language,
buffoonery, or any other of the disreputable things you are in the habit of
doing. Erase the habit, that you may not come back to it after baptism. The
bath takes away the sins, but you must correct the habit, so that after the
pigments have been daubed on and the royal image shines forth, you may never thereafter
blot it out or cause wounds or scars on the beauty which God has given you.
