Veris , bona autem egeris, fubtraxerifque te
ab omni homine ambulante inordinate. Audi
parabolam, aut potius exemplum. Homo
quidam habebat filium , qui patrem fuum
vehementer honorabat, ftudebatque omnia
ejus præcepta fervare, eique in cun&is ob-
fequebarur . Alius autem quidam invidia
ductus fuper profe&u junions , occulte acce-
dens, dixit ei : Jura mihi adverfus patrem
tuum, quod quæ tibi fum di&urus, facies ,
fervabifque abfque omni contradictione . Atque
ille non redte agens, juravit ipfi. Dein-
de poll hoc dixit ad eum. Vade, ac dedecore
patrem tuum affice, ipfumque'plagis cæde,
6c noli amplius revereri confpedum ejus :
6c quæcunque tibi mandaverit non facienda
, facito : quoniam jurafti mihi, & non

poteris non obedirc iis , quæ tibi a me di-
éta funt. Sed numquid tantam fuftinebit
dementiam , aut potius impietatem filius,
6c non defpiciet iniquilfimum confilium il-
lius , propter cultum ac reverentiam erga
patrem $ ad eumque refpondebit : video te
hominem non verum nec juftum e lfe ,
fed inimicum patris mei, animæque meæ
infidiatorem . At me. non decipies , fic-
ut ferpens fua calliditate Evam. : neque
me ad impietatem verfuta tua improbi-
tate compelles . Nolo ., ut me accufa-
re vel reprehendere pater poffit , quod
tiue impietati par,uerim . Ddpicio ita-
que confilium tuum nefarium ob patris
mei reverentiam 5 animæque meæ falu-
tem : aurefque meas crucis fignaculo
obfigno, ne amplius ihtret in aures meas
verborum tuonun virus : ipfamque tuam
confuetudinem vitabo, propter dolum in te
latentem . Admonet quoque nos Apofto-
lus , ut fubtrahamus nos ab omni fratre
ambulante inordinate . Nam Deus malis
à&ionibus non colitur. Ne igitur abduci
te a*fceleftis hominibus patiaris, cariflnne :
ut,non exacerbes Patrem tuum, qui in coe-
lis eft , contraria præceptis ejus agendo ,
6c non habeas excufationem in die ju-
dicii. Propter tranfgrcffionem enim man-
datorum fandi Euangelii 3. Deum pro-
vocas . Attende tibi i'pfi ., fummam
fermonis per Prophetam edodus : ait
enim Propheta : Juravi , & ftatui ,
non quidem tranfgredi præcepta tua , F
6c cunda judicia tua ; fed , jura-
v i , & ßatui eußodire mandata tua ,
& omnia judicia juflitioe tuoe : Rurfuf-
que ait : Iniquitatem odio habüi y. &
abominatus fum , legem autem tuam
dilexi - Et in hoc per Dei miferi-
cordiam magnas evitabis tentationes
atque pericula . In illo autem évei
