Cyril of Jerusalem
“Put off the old man with his doings, and quote that saying in the Canticles, I have put off my coat, how shall I put it on?” — editor's note: Cant. v. 3. In the Song, this saying is an excuse for not rising from bed. S. Cyril applies it in a different way.

V. 3. Compare Cat. iii. 7; xx. (Mystag. ii.) 2.
