4.  For we, the ministers of Christ, have admitted every one, and occupying, as it were, the place of door-keepers we left the door open:  and possibly thou didst enter with thy soul bemired with sins, and with a will defiled.  Enter thou didst, and wast allowed:  thy name was inscribed.  Tell me, dost thou behold this venerable constitution of the Church?  Dost thou view her order and discipline The Greek word (ἐπιστήμη) which commonly means “knowledge” or “understanding,” is applied here and in vi. 35 to the intelligence and skill displayed in the arrangement of the public services of the Church.  Compare Apostolic Constitutions, ii. 57, where the Bishop is exhorted to have the assemblies arranged μετὰ πάσης ἐπιστήμης., the reading of Scriptures In the same passage of the Apostolic Constitutions precise directions are given for reading a Lesson from the Old Testament, singing the Psalms, and reading the Epistle and Gospel., the presence of the ordained By “the ordained” (κανονικῶν) are meant all whose names were registered as bearing office in the Church, Priests, Deacons, Deaconesses, Monks, Virgins, Widows, all having their appointed placed and proper duties.  Apost. Canon. 70, εἴ τις ἐπίσκοπος, ἢ πρεσβύτερος, ἢ διάκονος, ἢ ὅλως τοῦ καταλόγου τῶν κληρικῶν, κ.τ.λ., the course of instruction Compare Apost. Const. as above:  “Let the Presbyters one by one, not all together, exhort the people; and the Bishop last, as being the commander.”?  Be abashed at the place, and be taught by what thou seest S. Aug. de Civit. Dei., ii. 28:  “Though some come to mock at such admonitions, all their insolence is either humbled by a sudden conversation (immutatio) or suppressed by fear or shame.”.  Go out opportunely now, and enter most opportunely to-morrow.
