M. Reg. 18 C 26, / 146) in A Fourteenth Century English Biblical Version, p. Xlix. THE BRIDES OF CHRIST I 53 a worthy Christian view of man and wife and of their duties to themselves and to society. In conclusion I must remind you of the immense part played, both in the discourage- ment of marriage and in its subsequent per- mission, by the doctrine of the Sacraments. According to Aphraates, strict continence is the way to secure the physical efficiency of Baptism for a good resurrection on the... last day. 1 And he uses with pleasure the unfortunate metaphor of the Brides of Christ, who in place of a mortal husband are betrothed to the Messiah. 2 The same tone of reprobation is used by Rabbula for the man who marries a Daughter of the Covenant, with or without her consent, and for the man who puts ordinary objects in the same box with the sacramental furniture : both crimes are an act of sacrilege against the Vessels in which Christ is pleased locally to dwell. The way of Life, that is to say the method of obtaining life in the next world, was through the Sacraments ; and when this view was clearly conceived, the first answer of the Christian community in the flush of its early enthusiasm was that so sacred a means must be honoured in those who use it by a special manner of living.
