3'59, et scq. And Jerom, ad Eustach.
414 THE PREDICTED ASCETIC AP08TACY.
see, liypocrile — blind pliarisee;" and who, with God's law before them, to which they owned submission, yet, set it at defiance, and made it void by iheir wicked and fooli. Sli enactments.
What plirase then can better describe (in so few words) the religious condition of tiie ascetic mind? The false oriental philosophy having been admitted, which put abstraction and penance in the room of the gospel, and of true holiness,... a thick infatuation thenceforward look possession of all minds, so that the most extreme contradictions of the inspired rules of morality were al- lowed and approved, even while this rule itself was daily before the eyes, and was echoing in the ears of all. A sufficient instance of this sort of contumacy is the one al- ready adduced: no practical rule, any where found in the apostolic writings, is more clear, or more free from am- biguity, than that which permits and recommends the marriage state to bishops; nevertheless, with this rule full in its view, the Nicene church forbade matrimony to its bishops.
