hæc omnia patientiifime fuftinuit. Nifi
fane effet Deus vivus cum eo , ficut di-
c it, 8c Regnum , 8c Paradifus , & fup-
plicium, & retributio ; non hæc utique per-
ferret a nobis : quin 8c Deos omnes ipfe
folus confregit atque evertit , 8c in nullo
eum offendere vel lædere potuerunt. Ve-
re fervus Dei hie eft , 8c quæcumque ab
eo fuerunt dida , divina funt ac vera.
Venite igitur , crcdamus in Deum , qui
ab ipfo prædicatur . Quæ quum inter fe
loquerentur , omnes pariter ad ipfum in
ecclefiam contenderunt , clamantes 8c
dicentes : Gloria coelefti Deo, qui famu-
lum fuum mißt , ut nos ab errore libera-
ret atque falvaret. Beatus autem vir il-
los confpiciens , gavifus eft gaudio magno
, 8c facies ipfius ut flos pulcherri-
mus , apparuit : aperienfque os fuum ,
dixit ad eos : Patres , fratres , ac filii ,
benedidi vos , qui hue intraftis in nomine
Domini . Venite unanimiter , de-
mus gloriam Deo , qui oculos mentis ve-
ftræ illuminavit, ut ipfum agnofeeretis :
8c fignaculum vitæ accipite , ut ab idolo-
rum immunditie purificemini : totoque corde
ac animo crédité, quod Deus fit creator
coeli 8c terra;, 8c omnium quæ in eis
funt , omnis principii expers , incompre-
henfibilis , inenarrabilis , infeparabilis ,
inalterabilis , omni fine carens , dator lu-
minis , hominum amator , magnus 8c ad-
mirabilis , terribilis & fortis , fuavis at-
que benign us : & in Filium ejus crédité
unigenitum , qui eft potentia Patris &
fapientia, gloriæ ejus fplendor, per quern
& omnia fada funt : 8c in fandum ejus
Spiritum , ipfi confubftantialem , qui fi-
mul cum eo regnat in immenfa ac infi-
nita fecula, omniaque vivificat : & cre-
dentes vitam æternam adipifeemini. Re-
fpondentes autem cundi dixerunt : ita fane
, Pater nofter , ita dux vitæ noftræ :
ita fiet , ficut afferis , & nos doces : ita
credimus, 8c fie fentimns. Et illico Beams
fandum baptifma arripiens , bapti-
zavit eos in nomine Patris , & Filii, 8c
Spiritus fandi , a minimo uique ad maximum
, ad mille ufque animas. Per fin-
gulos autem dies facras Scripturas eis
legebat , difierebatque cum ipfis de
regno coelorum , de fide & juftitia , de
mortuorum refurredione , 8c de tre-
mendo judicio . Quemadmodum autem
terra bona ac bene claborata fernen per-
cipit , affertque bonum frudum , alium
quidem centefimum , alium vero fexa-
gefimum , 8c alium trigefimum : ita &
