Abstract
De indicendo Christi (On proclaiming Christ) is an incomplete first draft of a meditation on Romans 13:14: "... put on Jesus Christ ...". Begins with observations and a survey of some qualities and uses of earthly clothes. The sermon then presents the distinctions between earthly and spiritual clothing and argues the superiority of spiritual garments, which can operate towards both sanctification and justification. Some pages written in haste and difficult to parse. Breaks off in mid-sentence.
