pertains to the Father, in whom is unity or authority; the second to the Son, in whom is equality; the third to the Holy Spirit, in whom is the fellowship of both."
Chapter 4 (141) 1. ON THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE SECOND TABLET. On the second tablet were the seven commandments pertaining to the love of neighbour.
2. ON THE FIRST OF THE SECOND TABLET. The first of these is referred to the father according to the flesh, just as the first of the first tablet refers to the heavenly Father, and it is: Honour your father and your mother, so that you may have long life upon the earth, namely [the land] of the living."
And parents are to be honoured in such a way that due reverence is shown them and necessities are provided for them.
3. ON THE SECOND. The second is: You shall not kill. According to the letter, the act of homicide is forbidden here, but according to the spirit even the will to kill. And so an addition to this commandment, read according to the letter, is made in the Gospel,' because the letter of the Gospel expresses what the letter of the Law did not.
4. ON THE SPIRITUAL SENSE AND THE CARNAL ONE. The letter of the Gospel expresses the spiritual understanding, that is, the one which spiritual people have, and according to which one lives spiritually; the letter of the Law expresses the carnal sense, that is, the one which carnal people have, and according to which one lives carnally, and it was this one to which an addition was made.
5. ON THE THIRD.—ISIDORE. The third is: You shall not commit adultery,' "that is, you shall not have intercourse with anyone, except under the pact of marriage. For the whole is understood from the part.'"°—
AUGUSTINE, ON ExopDus: "And so by the term adultery is to be un- -derstood every illicit union and every illegitimate and forbidden use of those members.'
