I suppose it would grieue any of vs all, to see a Church converted vnto base offices, or holy things polluted by luxurious or superstitious Miscreants; but know we not that our bodies are the temples of the holy Ghost? and should there be no care taken, for the keeping of these vessels pure, and presenting them in the most decent manner, to their Redeemer, and Saviour? What hope may hee haue for rest, that purposely thrusteth himselfe, into vnnecessary tumults? Or what happinesse can he promise his flesh hereafter, that all his life, hath abused it, to all vncleanesse, and iniquity? This priviledge of the fleshes rest, and Resurrection, Tertullian earnestly pleadeth, against the ancient Heretiques. They haue scriptures saith he) by heart, by which the flesh is vilified, but little consider other passages, where its dignity is expressed. |
