lius eft opus iftud . Qui enim tol-
lis peccatum mundi , facilius quo-
que unius • hujus animas crimina de-
leveris . Omnia quippe noftra deli-
da apud te numerata funt ; tua ve-
ro mifericordia immenfa eft , & im-
perveftigabilis . His autem didis in-
greffus eft ecclefiam , tenens char-
tam , feque jadans coram altari , to-
tam nodem pervigilem in precibus e-
git , inque craftinum per tota Mifla-
rum folennia Deum obnixius oravit.
Poft fadam autem fandorum myftcrio-
rum milfionem , accerlivit mulierem ,
tradenfque chartam , ait : Audiftin’ ,
mulicr , quod nemo poflît peccata
dimittere , ni ft folus Deus ? Ait ilia
: Audivi , Pater : teque ideo ad
intercedendum apud mifericordiftimum
Deum follicitavi . Atque his didis
chartam aperuit ; totamque deletam in-
venit : quamquam non expundo grandis
illius peccati piaculo . Videns autem
ilia , concidit animo , tundenfque
pedus manibus , corruit ad pedes ejus,
clamore dice ns : miferere mei , ferve
Dei altifïïmi : & qua ratione pro meis
omnibus peccatis de c e r t a f t i& fuifti
exauditus , eadem quoque pro ifto fup-
plica , planeque obliterabitur . Lacry-
matus vero commiferationis affedu Ar-
chiepifcopus dixit : Surge , mulier :
nam & ego homo peccator fum , qui
& ipfe indulgentia indigeam. Qui de-
levit peccata tua , quot voluit , de-
levit ; poteftque qui mundi peccatum tol-
lit , etiam hoc a te peccatum tollere .
Si modo deinceps te a peccato conti nue-
ris , viafque Domini ambulaveris , non
folum confequeris veniam , verum etiam
gloria dignaberis. Vade ergo in defertum,
inveniefque virum fandum , inter 6m nés
patres celebrem, Ephraem nomine. Huic
trade chartam, ifque orabit , & Deum
propitium faciet. At ilia vale dicens
Sando , cucurrit ad defertum : confe-
doque longo itinere , pcrvenit ad præ-
monftratum locum magni illius Eremitæ ;
pulfanfque ad januam , clamabat dicens :
miferere mei , fande D e i. Ille præfcius
fpiritu quam ob caufam veniffet , ait
illi : Exi a me mulier , quia homo
peccator fum , indigens & ipfe ad-
jutorio . At ilia jadavit chartam ,
dicens : mifit me ad te Archiepifcopus
Bafilius , ut Deum pro me
depreceris, quo peccatum in charta po-
fitum deleatur : delevit enim ipfe pre-
catus reliqua . Tu vero ne pigriteris,
