Jacob* i. éturn Apoftolum audiat fie dicentem : Ira
viri , juflitiam Dei non operator. Et ve-
re mifer atque infelix , qui paflionibus
ejufmodi vincitur : nam iracundus animam
fuam occidit. Vere autem animam fuam
interficit perditque iracundus : nam Temper
in perturbationibus vivit , animi tranquil-
litate ac pace , commodaque corporis va-
letudine carens. Semper enim corpus illius
contabefcit , & animus angitur , caro mar- B
cefcit, oboritur pallor, & mens perturba-
tur : fenfus debilitatur, & cogitationes flu-
minis inftar Tcaturiunt, omnibufque invifus
iracundus redditur . Hic a longanimitate &
caritate alienus eft : ob verba inania facile
turbatur , & leviflima de caufa rixas excitât
. Ubi non eft opus , Te Te ingerit , &
ubique odium fibi accumulât. Multiloquio
gaudet, & in rebus inutilibus exultât. Conviens
oble&atur : ad manfuetudinem infîr- C
mus e ft, & ad improbitatem ftrenuus. Et
quis hominem ejufmodi non deploret ? quo-
niam apud Deum & homines abominabi-
lis eft : Omni enim in re morofus atque
ærumnofus eft iracundus. Ideo ab iracun-
dia vobis cavete,

qui manfuetus eft : hune enim &fan-

Matth. 5. prédicat, dicens : Bead mites, quoniam ipfi
poffidebunt terram. Et quid ifta beatitudi- -p
né beatius ? quid ea promiflione fublimius ?
quid hac lætitia illuftrius , cum quis para,

cum immenfas divitias ac præmia huic vir-

ne deftitui finat , ne plangat am are , fru-
ftra dolens conquerenfque. Manfuetudini p
beatitudinem effe propofitam audientes, ad
eam contendite. Audite quid de ilia per
Spiritum fan&um edifferat verax propheta
Jfai. 66 . Ifaias : Super quem requiefeam , dicit Dominus

De Malitia finje Improbitate.
LUgendi itaque, fratres , & deploran-
di funt illi , qui manfuetudinis ex.
pertes , malitiæ atque improbitatis vin-
culis conftridi funt : gravi enim ifti fub-
jacent fententiæ : Quoniam qui malignan-
tur , exterminabuntur. Quin & fanétus
Deus nofter cosdem coarguit 5 dicens.:
Malus homo de malo thefauro cordis fui
profert mala. Et rurfus Propheta : Infur-
gentibus , inquit , in me malignandbus ,
audiet auris mea. Grave malitiæ dæmo-
nium eft , fratres. Proinde crate , nequis
in ipfum incidens , fe ipfe reprehenfione
dignum conftituat. Nunquam enim in pace
eft malignus ; fed fèmper perturbationibus
agitatur : Temper bile , ac dolo , &
ira plenus eft : Temper proximum fuum
defpicit , Temper fubmurmurat , Temper in.
videt , femper æmulatur , Temper exaf-
peratur : femper fuperiorum mandatis re-
fragatur , juflaque pervertit : fana confi-
lia alpernatur , & bona inftituta dilfolvit.
Eos , a quibus diligitur , illudit : com-
mendantes fe , fpernit : profîcientes con-
triftat, admonitiones parvi facit , fratres
dirimit, fimplices vexât, manfuetps repel-
l i t, patientes irridet , peregrinos averfatur
, alios alibi calumniis prenait, fingulis
adverfatur , iracundiam excitât , ad vin-
di&am impellit , ad convicia promtus ,
ad detra&iones facilis , ad maledicentiam
proclivis , ad contumeliam paratus, ad lo-
