G. P. " Obey it in the lusts thereof." The Vulgate reading is conformable to the Alexandrian, Vatican, and Ephrem manuscripts, and to the ancient versions. St. Chrysostom read it as in the common test. He remarks: "It is no honour to gratify in all things the body in its caprice ; on the contrary, it is the lowest bondage, and the greatest ignominy : for when it does what it will, then is tlie individual stripped of all liberty, but when it is restrained, he preserves his own dignity." St. Chrysostom.
