Page 46 - So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

Page 165 - She will render him good and not evil, all the days of her life. She hath sought wool and flax, and hath wrought by the counsel of her hands. She is like the merchant's ship, she bringeth her bread from afar.
Page 46 - Christ also loved the Church, and delivered himself up for it : that he might sanctify it, cleansing it by the laver of water in the word of life ; that he might present it to himself a glorious Church not having spot or wrinkle, nor any such thing, but that it should be holy and without blemish.
