Excerpt from The Marriage Ring It is hoped that a reprint of our British Fénélon's Sermon on Marriage, with a diminished reproduction of the Arundel Society's copy of Perugino's Marriage of the Virgin (for which I am indebted to the kind permission of the S.P.C.K.), will be acceptable to those who would present an appropriate gift to their friends about to be married; and that no cursory inspection of the volume will affright them with its aspect of learned quotation, since the Bishop's meaning is always plainly to be understood without the translation of any of the Greek and Latin with which it is tessellated. The present text is an exact reprint of the eighteenth sermon of the Bishop's Eniautos: A Course of Sermons for all the Sundays of the Year, published in 1673, except in the following respects: - 1. The designation of Sermon xviii, recurring on every page, has been omitted. 2. The quotations have been corrected, so far as grammar and context demanded. 3. The Greek is printed in the modern character. 4. A few slight variations in wording and punctuation have been introduced, for reasons explained in the notes.
