35. See Mt 18:23-35.
SERMON 210 127
26. A denarius in Latin. See the parable of the laborers in the vineyard, Mt 20:1-13. It will be clear in a moment why it has to be translated "tenner." I then leave out an explanatory sentence which it is impossible to put into English, and which he introduces just to remind his listeners that denarius, which just meant a coin of common currency (like a dime), really was connected with the number ten, just as we might need reminding that a dime is. The sentence omitted is: Sicut autem ternarius a tribus, quatternarius a quattuor, ita denarius a decern nomen accepir, just as temarius comes from three, quatternarius from four, so denarius got its name from ten.
27. See Jn 16:22. 28. See 1 Cor 7:5. 29. See Ex 24:18; 1 Kgs 19:8; Lk4:7. 30. See Mk 9:4. 31. Sundays, of course; perhaps also prominent saints' days. 32. This presumably means the whole of Lent, seen as a preparation for Easter. That no preacher nowadays, I imagine, would ever presume to suggest such a thing, and in such terms, to married couples, indicates that the official Christian mind has grown much more humane in its attitude to sexuality.
33. The town water supply in the ancient world was probably not always very hygienic. 34. SeeLk 18:22. 35. See Mt 18:23-35. 36. See Mt 5:44.
