Why did judith and Matthew each think that kit should not wear her silk dress to meeting?

Judith believed Kit should not wear her silk dress to meeting because it was overly extravagant and not suitable for the Puritan community's values, which emphasized modesty and simplicity. Matthew shared similar concerns, feeling that Kit's attire would draw attention and disrupt the solemn atmosphere of the gathering. Both feared that Kit's choice of clothing would reflect poorly on their family and challenge the community's norms.
