A repente fuper ipfos regnavit. Ita & in die
ilia tremend.1 , quando venerit Dominus
in nubibus a'éris fedens fuper thronum re-
gni fui, adducentur vindi ab Angelis illis
horribilibus coram ipfius tribunali omnes
inimici ejus, quicumqueipfum regnare fuper
fe noluerunt. Putarant enim tune impii
Judæi, ilium, fi crucifixus effet, tamquam
hominem fore moriturum ; non credent
es neque intelligentes miferi, ipfum
B efte Dcum , qui ob falutem generis huma-
ni, ut noftras falvaret animas , advene-
rat. Sicut Jofeph libéré ac palam dicebat
fratribus fuis , perterrefaciens atque pu-
dore fuffundens eos : Ego fum Jofeph, quem
vos in fervitutem tradidiftis : ecce nunc regno
, etiam vobis nolentibus : ita quoque
Dominus crucem fuam in forma refplenden-
te oftendet crucifixoribus fuis, agnofeent-
que ipfam crucem, & filium Dei ab ipfis
C crucifixum. Cernitis , quam accurate Jofeph
veram Domini fui figurant in fe cx-
prefferit ?
Quoniam vero ab ipfa pueritia efflo-
ruit in eo virtus , confulto hinc initium
ducentes , pergemus deinceps gefta atque
virtutes fandi illius pueri enarrare. Hic
quippe beatus per decem & feptem anno-
rum tempus verfatus eft in domo paterna,
proficiens quotidie in timoré Dei, in bono
D vitæ ftatu, 6c in reverentia atque honore
parentum. Quum autem indecentia quæ-
dam in fratribus fuis animadverteret, ali-
qua ex his breviter fuo patri rcnunciavit :
révéra enim virtus ab iniquitare femper
diffentit , neque cum ilia convenire po-
teft. Hujus rei gratia illi oderant Jofeph,
quod ab eorum nequitia alienus effet I Quum
autem virtuti puer fedulo operam daret ,
cernebat in fournis , quee ex difpofitione
E fummi Dei in fe eventura erant . At pater
Jacob ignorans occultant illorum fi-
multatem ac odium adverfus Jofeph ,
fimplici animo diligebat Jofeph ob virtu-
tis florem a juvenili ætatc femper in ipfo
rcfplendentem . Pafcentibus porro iliis
oves in Sychem , accidit Jofeph verfari
cum pâtre dorni . Pater autem Jacob,
velut pater indulgens , 6c de filiis in
Sychem abfentibus follicitus , ajebat ad
F Jofeph : Veni fili , vade ad fratres tu-
os , 6c diligenter de eorum valctudi-
ne , pariter 8c de gregibus inquire ,
citoque hue revertens , de omnibus re-
nuncia mihi , Jofeph autem accepto patris
mandato , gaudens pergebat ad fratres
fuos , pacem ex perfona patris ipfis
deferens , fimul 8c follicitudinem , quam
de ipfis habebat . Profeftus igitur ober-
