Et fi tantam homines jufti humilitatem often-
derunt , quales nos peccatores elfe opor-

perbire, carnis prudentia eft. Et fecundum
Apoftoli oraculum : S/ fecundum carnemvi-

carnis mortißcaveritis, vivetis. Ficrique ne-
quit , ut quis palfiones vincat , ni priusvir-
tuti excolend^ vacaverit. An non intel-
lexifti , qualia pro pietate beatus Paulus
fubierit : feribit enim in fua ad Co- . Cor>II<
rinthios Epiftola : /« lahoribus abundantius,
plagis fupra modum : a Judais quinquies
quadragenas, una minus accepi : ter virgis
cafus fum , femel lapidatus fum , ter naufra-
gium feci , noth & die in profundo maris

periculis latronum , periculis e x genere , p£-
riculis ex gentibus , periculis in ewitate, pf-
riculis in folitudine ,• periculis in mari , pfri-

deftia dicebat: Fratres, ego meipfumnon-
dum exiftimo comprehendilfe. Ifta vero dicebat,
ut elationem funditus tolleret, cum
feiret , quantam iram in eos concitet, qui

eft efferri , ac fi quis Deo exprobret

humanis , fi quis cum aliquid proximo dona
