X. Are you labouring to bring forth
objections? Well, so am I to get on with my discourse.
Honour the Day of the Spirit; restrain your tongue if you can a
little. It is the time to speak of other tongues—reverence
them or fear them, when you see that they are of fire. To-day let
us teach dogmatically; to-morrow we may discuss. To-day let us
keep the feast; to-morrow will be time enough to behave ourselves
unseemly—the first mystically, the second theatrically; the one
in the Churches, the other in the marketplace; the one among the sober,
the other among the drunken; the one as befits those who vehemently
desire, the other, as among those who make a joke of the Spirit. Having then
put an end to the element that is foreign to us, let us now thoroughly
furnish our own friends.
