VII.  How then dost thou demand Chastity, while thou dost not thyself observe it?  How dost thou demand that which thou dost not give?  How, though thou art equally a body, dost thou legislate unequally?  If thou enquire into the worse—The Woman Sinned, and so did Adam. Gen. iii. 6.  The serpent deceived them both; and one was not found to be the stronger and the other the weaker.  But dost thou consider the better?  Christ saves both by His Passion.  Was He made flesh for the Man?  So He was also for the woman.  Did He die for the Man?  The Woman also is saved by His death.  He is called of the seed of David; Rom. i. 3. and so perhaps you think the Man is honoured; but He is born of a Virgin, and this is on the Woman’s side.  They two, He says, shall be one Flesh; so let the one flesh have equal honour.  And Paul legislates for chastity by His example.  How, and in what way?  This Sacrament is great, he says, But I speak concerning Christ and the Church. Ephes. v. 32.  It is well for the wife to reverence Christ through her husband:  and it is well for the husband not to dishonor the Church through his wife.  Let the wife, he says, see that she reverence her husband, for so she does Christ; but also he bids the husband cherish his wife, for so Christ does the Church. Ib. v. 22 seq.  Let us, then, give further consideration to this saying.
