The Lord very frequently addresses us in the character of a husband… As He performs all the offices of a true and faithful husband, so He stipulates for love and conjugal chastity from us; that is, that we do not prostitute our souls to Satan… Therefore, as the purer and chaster the husband is, the more grievously is he offended when he sees his wife inclining to a rival; so the Lord, who has betrothed us to Himself in truth, declares that He burns with the hottest jealousy whenever, neglecting the purity of His holy marriage, we defile ourselves with abominable lusts, and especially when the worship of His Deity, which ought to have been most carefully kept unimpaired, is transferred to another, or adulterated with some superstition; since, in this way, we not only violate our plighted troth, but defile the nuptial couch, by giving access to adulterers.

Preheat the oven to 300°. Do not pound or flour the meat. Heat oil in a
heavy skillet over high heat, then sear meat on both sides. Meanwhile, in a
large roasting pan, combine the soy sauce, coffee, bay leaves, garlic,
oregano, and one of the sliced onions. Transfer the browned meat to the
roasting pan. Top with the second sliced onion. Cover and bake for 3 1/2 to
4 hours, basting every hour with pan juices. If the liquid begins to boil
away (this depends on the heaviness of your pan), add another cup of coffee
and a liberal splash of soy sauce. You may have to reapeat this procedure;
there should be quite a bit of liquid. cut the meat in thin slices and
serve with pan juices.
