Chapter XV.
The postponement of the explanation which is asked
for.
Chæremon: It is
indeed a sign of the utmost blessedness and of singular goodness both
continually to learn and to teach that love by which we cling to the
Lord, so that meditation on Him may, as the Psalmist says, occupy all
the days and nights of our life,1743
and may
support our soul, which insatiably hungers and thirsts after
righteousness, by continually chewing the cud of this heavenly food.
But we must also, in accordance with the kindly forethought of our
Saviour, make some provision for the food of the body, that we faint
not by the way,1744
for “the
spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”1745
And this we must now secure by taking a
little food, so that after supper, the mind may be rendered more
attentive for the careful tracing out of what you
want.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
