In the same way “the bed\r\nis ordered to be shaken up,” so that there may be no recollection of\r\neffusion in sleep, or sleep in the day-time; nor, besides, of pleasure\r\nduring the night. And he intimated that the vision of the dark ought to\r\nbe dissipated speedily by the light of truth. “Be angry, and sin not,”\r\nsays David, teaching us that we ought not to assent to the impression,\r\nand not to follow it up by action, and so confirm wrath.</p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","BOOK V.","CHAPTER V.
