Excerpt from Linsey-Woolsey: And Other Addresses
There is a curious precept in the Jews' religion, couched in these words: Thou' shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed, neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woolen come upon thee.
It has been a matter of some trouble to commenta tors to give a good reason for this injunction.
Some have regarded it as referring to a garment made up of patchwork, of various materials and colors, for the sake of Show, like Joseph's coat of many colors.

ISAAC ERRETT was born in the city of New York. His immediate parents were both of Protestant families, and became identified with the Disciples in New York City as early as 1811--the father being an elder in the original Church in that place.
He commenced preaching in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the spring of 1840, and soon gave promise of the distinguished position as a preacher of the Gospel.
His ministerial labors had been divided between the work of an evangelist and pastor. He was pastor of a church in Pittsburgh three years; New Lisbon, Ohio, five years; North Bloomfield, Ohio, two years; Warren, Ohio, five years; Muir and Ionia, Michigan, eight years; and Detroit, Michigan, two years. He removed to Warren, Ohio, in 1851, and, while there, was Corresponding Secretary of the Ohio Missionary Society three years; and it was he who first put that society into systematic and active operation.
