BEati, qui fecundum Deum quotidie funt
vigiles ac fobrii : liquidem a Deo prote-
gentur in die jndicii, & velut filii thalami, in
exultatione & lætitia Sponfum adfpicient .
Sed ego, meique fimilcs, inertiæ ac volu- B
ptatibus dediti, gementes ac Rentes contue-
bimur fratres noftros in gloria incompara-
bili, nos ipfos autem in tormentis.
Atque ifta dum mecum perpendo, ca-
riffimi., in lacrymas prorumpo : quippe qui
poft curfum inceptum, mox defeci, & in medio
ftadio a curfu deftiti, miferandum fpe-
daculum adfpicientibus me præbens - Quo-
modo igitur fegnitiem ac negligentiam
meam maximam non deplorem ? Alii fiqui- C
dem in facco ac ferro feipfos humiliarunt .
Alii vero in claufura & jejunio Domino fer-
vierunt. Alii fuper columnas certamen abf-
que reprehenfione confummarunt. Alii in
deferto ac folitudine virrutem excoluerunt.
Alii in obedientia coronas acceperunt. Ego
autem mifer, meique fimiles ignavi atque
ambitiofi, forma quidem ac habitu pii reli-
giofique fumus, fed re ipfa pietatem atque re-
ligionem exuimus. Quis enumeret palfioncs D
fandorum Martyrum , non virorum dum-
taxat, fed etiam feminarum, & mente non
obftupefcat ? Illi Dominum fiium imitantes,
humiliabant feipfos : nos autem honores & fav
lutationes in foro expetimus.Illi pietatis amo-
re in euftodiis conclufi , famem, tormenta, &
vincula funt perpeflï : nos vero ne minimum
quidem laborem atque moleftiam fufferre
æquo animo poifumus , fed delicias atque
voluptates totis viribus confedamur. îlli E
conrumelias atque contemtus ad mortem
ufque libenter fuftinuerunt : at nos etiam ad-
monitiones afpernamur . Illi flammas non
curarunt : at nos ne durum quidem verbum
perferimus. Illi ad cruciatus & tormenta
gaudentes atque lætantes publice incede-
bant : nos autem éôrum audientes certami-
na, demiramur quidem , verum imitari ea
nolumus . Quocirca multis opus eft nobis
gemitibus ac lacrymis, ne e regno ejiciamur B
coelorum , cum magna certantibus propo-
lita fit gloria. Ne fimus ergo négligentes ac
pigri in divinis ofïïciis. Non enim. injuftus eft
Deus, ut oblivifeatur operis fervorum Riorum
, qui quidem fe totos divinæ ejus vo-
luntati fubmiferunt devoveruntque : qui propter
fandum nomen ejus huic feculo renun-
ciarunt : qui propriis relidis parentibus fe

A lnnge fecerunt i qui ad fores ejus pulfant

Et exiftimas , hujufmodi humilitatem a
Deo parvipendi ? abfit. Claufuras nam-
que tolerant , manibus operantur y je-
juniis vigiliifque incumbunt , infultus ma-
lignorum fpiriruum fuftinent , genua ad
orationem fledunt , frontem aflidue in
pavimentum concutiunt , divinam ejus
B bonitatem fuppliciter deprecantes . Et
horum ipfe preccs delpiciet ? abfit. Homo
quantumvis hörridus atque aufterus,
ab aliis ad eum accedentibus , placari fe
permittit : & Deus , qui benignus eft,
Sc bonus , qui dives eft in mifericor-
dia , & ingratorum quoqüe miferetur ,
ejufmodi afflidioiiem , religiortem , ge-
mitus , lacrymas , compaflionem , fandi-

C tiam , patientiam, fuperborumque fubmiflio-
nem afperriabitur ? Nullo fäne modo. Ca-
veamus ergo animos defpondere, & in divinis
officiis negligentes elfe , cariflimi *
quin potius confidenter atque audader pul-
femus . Nam quanto diutius perfeveraveris
pulfando, tanto locupletior tibi merces erit.
Aflidue vigila. Qua enim hora minime ex-
fpedas , mittet Dominus, qui te congregent
in horreum vit£ , .ill coetum juftorum : ut
D deinceps quiete perfruarjs, & ab omni fol-
licitudine liber fis , ubi non eft bellum ,
neque adverfarius * Sublatus fiquidem ibi
erit hoftis , qui in pugnam defeendat, fi-
mul cum belli occafionibus. Eft autem belli
öccafio , cupiditas pulchritudinis ad con-
greftum. At in ccelis ^ neque nubent, neque
nubentur, fed funt ficut Angeli in cce-
lo . Rurfus occafiones belli funt divitia:,&

E ptibilia funt , cum fint terrena. Idcirco &
quidam nos Sandorilm inftruens , ait :
Nolite diligerc mundum , neque ea , qua

non eft caritas Patris in eo . Nam cottcu-

F enim qui in fenticetum incidit* a fpinis &
vepribus pungitur , quoufque exfilierit in
locum mundum : at ubi jam fe inde extri-
carit , non amplius timet fpinas illas. Ita
& Sandi homines dum in fimilem locum
fentibus ac fpinis plenum incidunt, Audio
atque induftria pro calceis utuntur : unde
fit, ut per medium illarum euntes , ab iis
