A week is a long period, and he will find means to satisfy them all. But, after a few days, the terrible intelligence reaches Cousrouf pacha: Taher Pacha is defeated; the stronghold Migne has been captured by the Mameluke beys. Taher Pacha is defeated, and is returning with his army-corps to Cairo! "He shall not come, he must not come!" cried the viceroy, angrily.

The Council of Trent, eleven centuries later, in its twenty-fourth session, re-echoed this sentiment and anathematised any one who should deny it. Migne, vol. 16, p. 342. Id., II, p. 1074. Tertullian ad uxorem, i, 3. Id. ad uxorem, i, 5. See also Gregory of Nyassa, de Virg., iii, on the evils of matrimony. v. Tertullian, ad uxorem. For Paul of Nolan, see Migne, vol. 61, p. 22.

Migne, vol. 171, pp. 1698-1699: Femina dulce malum, pariter favus atque venenum, Melle linens gladium cor confodit et sapientum. Quis suasit primo vetitum gustare parenti? Femina. Quis patrem natas vitiare coegit? Femina. Quis fortem spoliatum crine peremit? Femina. Quis iusti sacrum caput ense recidit? Femina. etc., ad lib.

W. Capitaine, Die Moral des Clemens von Alexandrien, pp. 112 et seq. Without the body, Tertullian declared, there could be no virginity and no salvation. The soul itself is corporeal. He carries, indeed, his idea of the omnipresence of the body to the absurd. Rufinus, Commentarius in Symbolum Apostolorum, cap. Migne, Patrologia Græca, vol. xxvi, pp. 1170 et seq.

Leviticus xii, 1-5. Romans 7, 2-4. Corinthians i, 7, 39. Corinthians i, 7, 1 ff. Corinthians i, 7, 37. Ephesians 5, 22 and 33. Peter i, 3, 7. Corinthians i, 14, 34. Timothy i, 2, 12-15. Corinthians i, II, 8. Timothy i, 2, 9. Peter i, 3. Cf. St. Adversus Iovianum, i, 48 Migne, vol. 23, p. 278.

You who are free have the invitation take it if you wish. This and similar references are to the Migne edition of the Greek and Latin Fathers. It may still be possible, however, for a person who is prevented from entering community life, to practice the counsels while living in the world. Said a boy one day, "How in the world does a person ever know he is to be a priest?"

Augustinus: Quaest. ex vet. Test., 21: an mulier imago Dei sit ... unde et Apostolus, Vir quidem, inquit, non debet velare caput, cum sit imago et gloria Dei; mulier autem, inquit, velet caput. Quare? Quia non est imago Dei. Unde denuo dicit Apostolus: Mulieri autem docere non permittitur, neque dominari in virum. Migne, vol. 35, p. 2228.

Femina causa fuit cur homo ruit a paradiso; Qua redit ad vitam, femina causa fuit. Femina prima parens exosa, maligna, superba; Femina virgo parens casta, benigna, pia. Quaest. ex vet.

Let me quote from the great twelfth century philosopher, Hugh of St. Victor, who deserves a better fate than sepulture in the ponderous tomes of Migne: "There was a certain wisdom that seemed such to them that knew not the true wisdom. The world found it and began to be puffed up, thinking itself great in this.
