And for this reason, as they appear to me, to\r\nhave called night Euphrone; since then the soul, released from the\r\nperceptions of sense, turns in on itself, and has a truer hold of\r\nintelligence (φρόνησις).<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_647\" id=\"FNanchor_647\">[647]</a> Wherefore the mysteries are for the most\r\npart celebrated by night, indicating the withdrawal of the soul from\r\nthe body, which takes place by night. “Let us not then sleep, as do\r\nothers; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep, sleep in\r\nthe night; and they that are drunken, are drunken in the night. But let\r\nus who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and\r\nlove, and as an helmet the hope of salvation.”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_648\" id=\"FNanchor_648\">[648]</a> And as to what,\r\nagain, they say of sleep, the very same things are to be understood\r\nof death.

For now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The\r\nnight is far spent, the day is at hand. Let us therefore cast off the\r\nworks of darkness, and put on the armour of light.”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_651\" id=\"FNanchor_651\">[651]</a> By day and\r\nlight he designates figuratively the Son, and by the armour of light\r\nmetaphorically the promises.</p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","BOOK IV.","CHAPTER XXII.
