Introductory Notice to Methodius.
[2602] Which I recommend.
[2603] 1 Cor. vii. 29. [Nobody can feel more deeply than I do the immeasurable evils of an enforced celibacy; nobody can feel more deeply the deplorable state of the Church which furnishes only rare and exceptional examples of voluntary celibacy for the sake of Christ. On chastity, see Jer. Taylor’s Holy Living, Works, i. p. 424.]
[2605] A clause is omitted here in the text.
Chapter XIV.—Virginity a Gift of God: the Purpose of Virginity Not Rashly to Be Adopted by Any One.
[2607] 1 Cor. vii. 36. [On virginity, see Taylor, i. 426, ed. London, 1844.]
Chapter I.—The Necessity of Praising Virtue, for Those Who Have the Power.
[2609] πολυμερῶς καὶ πολυτρόπως.Heb. i. 1.
[2610] i.e., αἱ ψυχαί.
[2611] The body.
[2612] Ps. cxxxvii. E.V., and in Heb. [Does not our author follow the Hebrew here? I must think his reference here is to the Psa. 136 as we have it. It is Eucharistic, and verses 10–16 seem to be specially referred to.]
[2613] Or, Eucharistic hymn.
[2616] “By the waters of Babylon,” etc. [He passes to the next psalm.]
[2617] Ps. cxxxvii. 1, 2. [Here is a transition to Psalm cxxxvii., which has been the source of a confusion in the former chapter. This psalm is not Eucharistic, but penitential.]
[2618] Odyss. K’. 510.
[2620] ὄργανον. The word used for harp above, and here employed with a double meaning. [“Body” here = "man"’s physical system.]
Chapter IV.—The Author Goes on with the Interpretation of the Same Passage.
