Viii. 9. CttAStlTY. , they r virgins, who follow the Lamb wheresoever he goes* St Gregory on this passage says, that virgins are described on the mountain with Christ, because the highest degree of glory is due to the merit of chastity. St John the evangelist is styled in scripture, the disciple whom Jesus loved, ^ and St Jerom and St Austin assign his virginity as the reason of this his title. And the holy church in the office of St John says, that Jesus luved him more ten- derly than the othe...r apostles; the prerogative of his chastity claiming this privilege as its due ; for he was not only a virgin wKen he called him to be an apostle, but remained so all his life. And hence the words of the Proverbs are by some not unfitly applied to him, he that loves purity of heart shall, by the grace of nis discourse, be in the king's favour. \ It was on account of his virginity, that our Saviour loved him so well as to per- mit him to sleep upon his own breast, and that he bestowed several favours upon him which he did not confer upon the rest of the apostles.
