, ut juftus Judex . Hæc igitur duni
mente mecum revolvo, timoré corripiun-
tur omnia membra mea, dilfolvorque un-
dique : oculi mei præ timoré lachrymas
fundunt, vox me deficit, labia mea & lingua
mea tamquam fibi conglutinata hærent;
& cogitationes meæ filentium meditantur .
Amor meus in vos ac defiderium , me ad
dicendum, veftræ utilitatis caufa compel-
lit ; fed timor me retinet , filentiumque
mihi imponit. Ingens quippe timor eft atque
immenfus. Taliaenimmagna, & tam
horrenda admirabilia, neque ab initio con-
tigerunt creaturæ, neque unquam in uni-
verfis generationibus accident . Et nunc
quidem'fæpe fi repente fulgur aliquod, vel
tonitru clarius ac vaftius contingat, omnem
fubito fui formidine perte rret hominem ,
cundique horrore perculfi, in terram nos
inclinamus. Et fi tantilla nobis adeo ma»-
gnum horrorem incutiunt, quo pado tune
ïuftinebimus, quando tubæ vocem de coelo
audiemus , fuper quodvis tonitru- refo’-
nantem, omnefque, qui à feculo obdor-
mierunt, excitantem, juftos & injuftos ;
Tunc omnia humanæ naturæ olfa , ad fi>
nitum tubæ confeftim exilient, artus fuos
jundurafque requirentia . Quumque ipfî
adfpexerimus omnem humanam naturam ia
momento & idu oculi refurgentem-, quem-
libetex loco fuo > congregarique omnes à
finibus orbis terræ ad judicium: quis timoré
hujufmodi ac tremore non concutia-
tur? folo enim jufiu magni Regis, . qui po-
teftatem habet omnis carnis, è veftigio terra
fuos reddet defundos , & infernus fuos
mortuos : & quidquid vel beftiæ dilania-
ru n t, vel pifees devorarunt, veiaves di-
feerpferunt, omnia in idu oculi refurgent.,
& ne unus quidem capillus ipfis d e erit.
Quo pado tune, fratres , fiiftinebimus , ^» .7 .
quando igneum. viderimus fluvium, inftar
ferocis maris , montes ac valles devoran-
tem , terramque omnem ac quæcumque in
ea funt, exurentem? Tune, carilïîmi, ab
illo igné deficient fluvii., evanefeent fontes
, mare exficcabitur, aftra è coelo décident
, fol deficiet, luna convertetur in fan-
guinem , coelum ut liber complicabitur :
Quum videbimus, fratres, Angelos emit- ^ r r . 1^
fos cum feftinatione difeurrere , congre-
gaturos cledos fervos Dei ab extremitate
coeli ufque ad extremitatem ejus . Tune
coelum videbimus novum , & terrain no-
vain fecundum promiffionem ejus . Quo
pado fuftinebimus, Chrifti. amatores, quan-
do adfpexerimus tremendum folium præ-
paratum $ quando viderimus Filium hominis.
