[424] John vi. 27.

[425] John x. 12, 13.

[426] Rom. xvi. 18.

[427] Phil. iii. 9.

[428] 2 Cor. xi. 13.

[429] See Matt. xxiv. 45-51.

[431] 1 Tim. iii. 3; Tit. i. 7.

[432] Rom. xii. 17.

Chapter I.—He Describes the Circumspectness of His Intercourse with the Other Sex, and Tells How in His Journeys He Acts at Places Where There are Brethren Only.

[433] Lit. “or is a daughter of the covenant.”

[434] Beelen’s rendering, “we do not even pass the night,” seems not to be favoured either by the arrangement or the context.

[435] Lit “dwelling-place.”

[439] i.e., one who has taken the vow of celibacy.

[440] Lit. “will with him minister all those things.”

[441] [The minuteness of all these precepts is of itself suspicious. The “simplicity” of the earlier age had evidently passed when these prohibitions were penned.—R.]

[442] ***, Beelen’s conjecture for ***, “rich.” Zingerle proposes ***, “about to be married.”

[443] Lit. “come to the delight of the truth.”

[444] Lit. “ask of the peace of.”

Chapter III.—Rules for the Conduct of Celibate Brethren in Places Where There are Only Married Christians.
