Introductory Notice to Cyprian.
[3180] One codex adds here: “since it is written, ‘He who perseveres unto the end, the same shall be saved.’”
[3181] Otherwise, “These are the flowers of the ecclesiastical seed.”
[3196] Wisd. v. 8.
[3198] The meaning is,—gifts to the poor will induce them to pray for the virgin, and in answer to their prayers, God will grant her the glory of virginity. [Luke xvi. 9.]
[3199] Perhaps this sentence would be more literally translated, “and the dress of no women is, generally speaking, more expensive than the dress of those whose modesty is cheap;” i.e., who have no modesty at all, or very little.
