Now the temple is great, as the Church, and it is\r\nsmall, as the man who preserves the seed of Abraham. He, therefore, who\r\nhas God resting in him will not desire aught else. At once leaving all\r\nhindrances, and despising all matter which distracts him, he cleaves\r\nthe heaven by knowledge. And passing through the spiritual Essences,\r\nand all rule and authority, he touches the highest thrones, hasting to\r\nthat alone for the sake of which alone he knew.</p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","BOOK VII.","CHAPTER XIII.
