Chapter VI.—Continuation.
And how
can He be but God, who raises up the dead, sends away the lame sound of
limb, cleanses the lepers, restores sight to the blind, and either
increases or transmutes existing substances, as the five loaves and the
two fishes, and the water which became wine, and who puts to flight thy
whole host by a mere word? And why dost thou abuse the nature of the
Virgin, and style her members disgraceful, since thou didst of old
display such in public processions,1329
1329 Reference seems to be made to obscene heathen
practices. | and didst order them to be exhibited naked, males
in the sight of females, and females to stir up the unbridled lust of
males? But now these are reckoned by thee disgraceful, and thou
pretendest to be full of modesty, thou spirit of fornication, not knowing
that then only anything becomes disgraceful when it is polluted by
wickedness. But when sin is not present, none of the things that have
been created are shameful, none of them evil, but all very good. But
inasmuch as thou art blind, thou revilest these things.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
