ACC ~ Mark 6 v9

ON NOT WEARING TWO COATS

AUGUSTINE: What is forbidden is neither the carrying nor the possessing of two coats, but more distinctly the wearing of two coats at the same time. The words say: “and not put on two coats.” What counsel is conveyed to them by this? They ought to walk not in duplicity, but in simplicity. HARMONY OF THE GOSPELS 2.32.75. [1]

[1] Cetedoc 0273, 2.30.75.180.12; NPNF 1 6:139*. The picture of not putting on two coats has a hidden meaning in reference to duplicity.
