Fragment of Fear Page #7

---

Christ and his church. Which holy estate Christ adorned

and beautified with his presence, and first miracle that he wrought

in cana of galilee, and is commended of Saint Paul

to be honourable among all men. And therefore is not by any

to be enterprised nor taken in hand unadvisedly,

lightly or wantonly, to satisfy men's

carnal lusts and appetites, like brute beasts

that have no understanding, but reverently, discreetly, advisedly,

soberly, and in the fear of god, duly considering the causes

for which matrimony was ordained. First, it was ordained

for the procreation of children, to be brought up in

the fear and nurture of the lord, and to the praise of his holy name. Secondly, it was ordained

for a remedy against sin, and to avoid fornication, that such persons as have not

the gift of continency, might marry and keep themselves

undefiled members of Christ's body. Put on your glasses. Let him now speak,

or else hereafter, forever hold his peace. I think I'm going mad. What's he doing here? Who? Major ricketts! Tim. So I'm safe for the moment. She's been very kind

and gentle and understanding, but I must watch her

like I watch everybody. They think I've given up,

but I haven't given up. As soon as I can think straight,

I'll draw them out. They're somewhere.
