FRatres mei Chrifto diledti, audite—»
quæ diéturus Turn de fecundo , &
terribili Domini Noftri Jefu Chrifti ad-
ventu. Ego enim rccordatus fum horæ
illias , & tremui , ob nimium timo-
rem cogitans, quæ tune erunt revelan-
da. Quis cnim ea narrabit $ Quæ lingua
referet ? Quæ auris capax erit ea
audiendi ? Quum Rex Regum furgens
ex throno gloriæ fuæ defeendet , ut
vifîtet omnes habitatores orbis terræ ,
& ponat rationem cum ipfis, & reddat
bonam mcrcedem dignis , & poenæ di-
gnis fimiliter poenas, ut juftus Judex.
Hæc igitur cogitans totus confternor ,
& timoré membra mea concutiunrur .
Oculi mei lacrymantur , vox mea deficit
, comprimuntur labia, horret lingua
, & cogitationes filentium meditantur.
Neceflitate compellor dicere—>
propter veftram utilitatem , ac timor
iilcre me cogit. Hæc enim prodigia_>
magna , & terribilia neque unquam_>
contigerunt ab initio rerum creatarum,
neque contingent unquam in omnibus
generationibus . Et modo quidem fiepe
quum tonitru vaftius fit , omnem
hominem terret, atque omnes in terrain
inclinantur : tune vero quomodo
fuftinebimus, quum audiemus tubæ vo-
cem de coelo omne tonitru clangore—»
fuperantem, atque e fomno eos exci-
tantem , qui a fieculo dormiunt; juftos,
& in juftos > Tunc & in inferis o(Ta_»
humanæ naturæ , quæ audient fonum
tubæ , celeriter current , & quærent
fuas compages , quum videbimus om-
nem hominum (piritum in i&u oculi re-
furgentem unumquemque ex loco fuo ,
fimulque congregatum ad judicium ex
quatuor terminis terræ . Jubebit cnim
magnus Rex ; qui omnis carnis habet
poteftatem, & fubito tremebunda, &.
feftinans dabit terra mortuos fuos, fuof-
que mortuos mare , five feræ difeer-
pferint, five pifees voraverint, five—»
volucres rapuerint, omnia in idu oculi
fiftentur, & capillus unus non relin-
quetur . Quomodo fuftinebimus , Fratres,
quum videbimus igneum fluvium_»
erumpentem cum ira tanquam mare fe-
rox , devorantem montes , & faltus ,
& comburentem omnem terrain , {XT'
