Dlverfimode impugnantur , qui fub
obedientia fpiritalis patris conftitu-
ti Hint . Nam fi quem viderit inimicus
carnalia fapientem, fuggerit ipfi cogitatio-
nes carnales , dicens : recede a monafte-
rio , 8c negotiare aliqua in re , unde tibi
commoda 8c utilitates compares . At fpi-
ritali viro opponit fe adverfarius improbus
per rede fada , fuggerens ejufmodi,
ac dicens : in feculo hæc opera exerce-
bas , 3c comedebas , -ficut animalia rationis
expertia . Et qualis hæc juftitia_»,
operari y 3c comedere ? Ecce enim 8c
per cibum excitatur tibi fornicationis bellum
. Et viciffim , nifi comedas, laborem
ferre non potes . Quare hue potius age,
ingredere in eremum interiorem , 8c fal-
Tfal. 34. vaberis : Domini enim eft terra , <& plenïtu-
do ejus. Cæterum ferramentum tecum par-
vum toile , quo herbas evellere poffis,
8c comedere , quemadmodum 8c antiqui
faciebant monachi , qui etiam grati ac-
ceptique fuerunt Deo . Et quid necefie—»
' tibi eft hic defidere , ubi (candala regnant
, & obtredatiouès , aliæque res,
quas non oportet dicerc ? Quanao autem
exieris , 8c nihil iftorum habueris , aliam
addifees artem, unde 8c fufficientem eme-
reri pollis mercedem, ut etiam inopi at-
que mendico ex tuis laboribus elargiaris .
Taies fuggerit malignus cogitationes fratri.
Tune fuggeftori refpondet frater , dicens :
ecce difeedam ab his , qui hic verfantur :
ad quas tarnen partes divertam , nefeio.
Vereor., ne forte egrelfus, fi locum non_>
invenero ,’ iterum hue reverti cogar . Cui
adverfarius : folum ab his difeede , 8c locus
tibi non décrit. Quem enim , inquit,
deferuit Dominus, ut te derelinquat ? Quin
8c juréjurando affirma, te hue nonreverfu-
rum . Quibus refpondet frater, dicens : ex-
fpedemus ad certum tempus : non enim jam
tempus idoneum eft, quo nos hinc feceda-
mus. Ad quæ adverfarius : 8c quomodo fufti-
nebis ingruentes tentationes in loco ifto^Exi-
ftimanfque frater ad majorent fe profe<5lum
trahi., alfenfum cogitationibus præbet : quod
omnibus deterius eft. Quemadmodum enim

letur per caritatem in Deum perfe<5lam.
B Frater ergo, qui cogitationibus confentit,
8c vehementius ab iis deinccps divexa-
tur , accedit ad Præfcélum fuum , ac di-
cit : Pater Abba , fac caritatem , 8c di-
mitte me : non enim queo amplius in_>
coenobio manere . Quæ audiens fenex,
incipit contriftari , ac lugere vices fra-
tris , quod illufus fit : 8c confolari eum,
atque adhortari , dicens : ego , frater,
non dimittam te . Cur vero , fili , dæ-
C mones audis , volentes te a fraternitate
fegregare , 8c dulci eorum caritate ? An
ignoras , frater , quod , fi ovis ex cau-
la non exierit , a feris non capietur ?
Sed die mihi , frater : num quis te fra-
trum contriftavit ? Die quæfo , 8c ego
te eurabo in Domino . Et , fi quis te—»
fratrum moleftia injuriave aflfecerit , toléra
propter eum , qui dicit : Alter alte- Galat, t
nus onera portate , 0“ fie adimplebitis le-

• - -— ratis alienis î Teipfum potius purum..
intemeratumque ferva . Et fi forte mo-
leftus ego tibi fuerim , teftis mihi- feru-
tator covdium eft Dominus , quod non •
ex aliquo tui odio id fini cônatus , fed
potius: falutis anima: tuæ iàtagens : Atque
ifta auribus quideni frater exci-
piens>, interius fuis interim cogitationibus
abftrahitur . Siniiliter quoque & fra-
tres eum interpellant , dicentes : ne déféras
nos , frater : unanimiterque coudoient
ei . Quod fi perfuafum fratri fuerit:
, & acquiclcat ÿ liberatur multis ten-
tâtionibus atque tribulationibus in Do-.
mino . Si vero adduci non pofiit , ut
maneat, dicit Præfecto : non propterea_.,
fed folitarie vivere defidero . Et n e_•>
in longum protrahamus fermonem : nifi
morem gerat frater recedit a confra-
ternitate : egredienfque monafterio , in_>
quo degebat , circumlpicit ad dexteram,
& ad finiftram . Quod fi mundum fpe-
flarit , & ererno rclicta in feculum rc-
dierit ; obc.tcatus mente dicit intra_.
