Flee evil arts ; but all the more discourse in public re- garding them. Speak to my sisters, that they love the Lord, and be satisfied with their husbands both in the flesh and spirit. In like manner also, exhort my brethren, in the name of Jesus Christ, that they love their wives, even as the Lord the Church. If any one can continue in a state of purity,-) to the honour of the flesh of the Lord, let him so remain without boasting. If he shall boast, he is undone ; and if he seeks to be more promi- nent^ than the bishop, he is ruined. But it becomes both men and women who marry, to form their union with the approval of the bishop, that their marriage may be ac- cording to the Lord, and not after their own lust. Let all things be done to the honour of God.?
