Do you see humanity combined with\r\ncontinence? The master who has fallen in love with his captive maid it\r\ndoes not allow to gratify his pleasure, but puts a check on his lust by\r\nspecifying an interval of time; and further, it cuts off the captive’s\r\nhair, in order to shame disgraceful love: for if it is reason that\r\ninduces him to marry, he will cleave to her even after she has become\r\ndisfigured. Then if one, after satiating his lust, does not care to\r\nconsort any longer with the captive, it ordains that it shall not be\r\nlawful to sell her, or to have her any longer as a servant, but desires\r\nher to be freed and released from service, lest on the introduction of\r\nanother wife she bear any of the intolerable miseries caused through\r\njealousy.</p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","BOOK II.","CHAPTER XVIII.
