CONVENIENT . This Eng. word often has in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] its primary meaning of befitting , as Romans 1:28 ‘God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient’ (RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘fitting’). So in the trans. of Agrippa’s Van Artes (1684) ‘She sang and danc’d more exquisitely than was convenient for an honest woman.’
