C. Iv. And 3, are first, that, its authors would speak lies in hypocrisy, having a seared conscience (a character, as far as I am able to judge, strongly and strik- ingly exemplified in this writer); and secondly, that they .. Would forbid tnarriage^ and abstain from meats : in conformity to the last distin- guishing character of this early apostasy, this author, as 1 have before observed, in contra- diction, not only to what Luke, but to what he himself elsewhere relates, as our Saviour's doct...rine, makes hlni give directions for fast- ing; and, on another occasion, to. Say $ that even the miraculous power of God, in curing some kind of Demoniacs, could not be effi- caciously exerted " without prayer andfast- " ing" on the part of the Almighty's agent ; and here he clearly discovers to us the second of these prophetic marks, pre-noticed by Paul, by making our Saviour approve of a determined, unnatural abstinence from mar- riage, for the kingdom of heaven's sake. These eu8 TH DISSONANCE OF were the peculiar doctrines of the Endra* tites or Continentes, a sect which appeared very early in the second century > and amongst whom it is not improbable, that the same madness of superstitious enthusiasm, which soon after led men into hermitages, monaste- ries, and even to stand for a great length of time in an erect posture on the top of a pillar, might have produced some instances of the unnatural self-violence the author speaks of> not long after the rise of that sect, the very allusion to which convicts him of being a wri- ter later than those instances, that is, not ear- lier than near the middle of the second cen- tury; but it is absolutely impossible that in our Saviour's time, almost as soon as the New Covenant of the kingdom of God was begun to be preached, and even before his disciples comprehended its nature and intent, any men could have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of it.
