CHAPTER 

 :  Flee evil arts, or rather hold thou discourse

about these. Tell my sisters to love the Lord and to

be content with their husbands in flesh and in spirit.

In like manner also charge my brothers in the name of

Jesus Christ to love their wives, _as the Lord loved

the Church._

 :  If any one is able to abide in chastity to the 

honour of the flesh of the Lord, let him so abide 

without boasting. If he boast, he is lost; and if it be 

known beyond the bishop, he is polluted. It becometh 

men and women too, when they marry, to unite themselves 

with the consent of the bishop, that the marriage may 

be after the Lord and not after concupiscence. Let all 

things be done to the honour of God.
