But now I know not how people change\r\ntheir fashions and manners with the place. As they say that polypi,\r\nassimilated to the rocks to which they adhere, are in colour such as\r\nthey; so, laying aside the inspiration of the assembly, after their\r\ndeparture from it, they become like others with whom they associate.\r\nNay, in laying aside the artificial mask of solemnity, they are\r\nproved to be what they secretly were. After having paid reverence to\r\nthe discourse about God, they leave within [the church] what they\r\nhave heard. And outside they foolishly amuse themselves with impious\r\nplaying, and amatory quavering, occupied with flute-playing, and\r\ndancing, and intoxication, and all kinds of trash. They who sing thus,\r\nand sing in response, are those who before hymned immortality,—found\r\nat last wicked and wickedly singing this most pernicious palinode, “Let\r\nus eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.” But not to-morrow in truth,\r\nbut already, are these dead to God; burying their dead,<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_745\" id=\"FNanchor_745\">[745]</a> that is,\r\nsinking themselves down to death. The apostle very firmly assails them:\r\n“Be not deceived; neither adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of\r\nthemselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards,\r\nnor railers,” and whatever else he adds to these, “shall inherit the\r\nkingdom of God.”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_746\" id=\"FNanchor_746\">[746]</a></p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","THE INSTRUCTOR.","BOOK III.","CHAPTER XI.
