Confer cum % Udiftis , cariiïïmi Chriïïoque diledti
ferm. cujus ƒ y fratres, quanta fit Crucis potentia,
quanta eius virtus, & quanta bona. Hæc
eb Hits ver enim boni gubernatoris înltar , prælentem
bis, hkofa n noftram vitam gubernat & in pace cu-
àyaTiiroi' , ftodit. Hæc futuram quoque vitam æter-
Tom. 2. nam nobis conciliât . Hæc rurfus in_>
(irac. ±at. fecund0 adventu Domini , prima ap-
* paritura eft in coelo , tamquam pre-
tiofum Ôc venerabile magni Regis Chri-
fti feeptrum : & apparebit fignum Eilil
hominis in coelo cum multitudine-*
exercîtus Angelorum , univerfam ter-
ram illuminans , a finibus ufque ad
Ænes fuper claritatem folis , adven-
tumque Domini adnuncians.
Et hæc quidem de Cruce pro
præfcnti . Quæ vero poftea fequutura
lunt, cujufmodi erunt ? Quæ poft Cru-
cem revelanda , qualia putas erunt ?
Superant fane ifta omnem fermonem,
omnem mentem , omnemque cogitatio-
nem; excedunt omnem narrationis fc-
riem , omnemque deterrent auditum-» .
Hei mihi , fratres mei in Chriito di-
le<5ti , recordatus fum horæ illius . ôc
contremui. Et hic finem dicendi facere
ftatueram præ timoris magnitudine , quum
animo mecum comple&erer ea , quæ poft
crucem revelanda erunt. Quis enim ifta
enarret ? Quis exprimere audeat ? Qua-
ie os enunciare fufficiat ? Quæ lingua
eloqui ? Quæ ’ vox explicare ? Quæ
auris ilia audire poterit , quibus fieri inci-
pientibus etiam virtutes coelorum commove-
huntur ? Quis non horreat, & contremifcat
m hora ilia , quando Rex regum a throno
gloriæ fuæ exurgens , defeendet vifitaturus
cundlos habitatores orbis terræ , rationes
cum iis collaturus, ôc bonam dignis reddi-
turus mercedem , indignis autem fupplicia re-
tributurus, ut juftus judex. Hæc dum mecum
cogito, timoré corripiuntur membra mea ,
ôc diflolvor undique , oculi præ timoré la-
crymas fundunt, vox mihi deficit, labia mea
quafi conglutinata hærent, lingua mea con-
tremifeit, ôc cogitationes meæ filentium me-
ditantur . Labor ôc dolor me verba iàcere
ob veltram utilitatem compellunt, fed timor
me retinet, ôc filentium mihi imponit : nam

ingens atque imméhfus efl: timor . Talia
quippe magna ôc horrenda admirabilia_.
neque ab initio contigerunt creaturæ,
neque unquam accident in univerfis gene-
rationibus. Et nunc quidem fæpe fi repente
corufcatio contingat aliqua , aut toni-
tru clarius ac vaftius , omnem mox timoré
percellit hominem , cundtique in terram
procumbimus . Et fi tantilla nos adeo ex-
terrent : quo padto , obfecro , tune fufti-
nebimus, quando tubæ vocem ex coelis
audiemus , fuper omne tonitru horribili-
ter refonantem, cundlofque, qui a fecu-
lo obdormierunt , • juftos , & injultos ex-
citantem? Tune omnia humanæ conditio-
nis olîa ad fonitum tubæ ex tumulis exi-
lient, difcurrentque cum feftinatione, har-
monias atque jundluras fuas requirentia.
Quum adlpexerimus omnem humanam na-
turam > ac fpiritum in ictu oculi refur-
gentem , quemlibet ex loco fuo ; congre-
garique a finibus orbis terræ ad judicium.
Solo enim julfu magni Regis > qui habet
poteftatem omnis carnis > e veftigio
terra cum tremore ac ltudio fuos red-
det defundlos, infernus fuos^, Ôc mare_^
fuos mortuos : quidquid item vel belliæ
dilaniarunt , vel pifees devorarunt, vel
aves difeerpferunt, in idtu oculi adliabit,
ôc ne unus quidem capitis capillus in iis
deerit . Quomodo tune , fratres mei
cariiïïmi, fultinebimus ? quando igneunu»
viderimus fluvium cum furorc ma-
nantem , ac inftar ' ferocis afpe-
rique maris montes ôc valles devorantem
, terramque omnem , , ac
quæcumque funt in e a , exuren-
tem. Tune, cariiïïmi mei, illo ab igné
déficient fluvii, vanefeent fontes, mare^
exficcabitur, aër perturbabitur, aftra
coelo décident, fol deficiet, luna tranfi-
b it , coelum ut liber complicabitur.
Tune Angeli milïï cum feltinatione—»
difeurrent, congregaturi eledlos a quatuor
vends ab extremitate coelorum
ufque ad extremitates eorum . Tune
videbimus coelum novum, ôc terrain-»
novam fecundum promilfum ejus. Quomodo
fultinebimus, Chrilti amatores,
quando confpexerimus tremendum folium
paratum ? Quum viderimus fignum
filii hominis in coelo rcfplendens,
ficut dixit Dominus, cui Iponte davis
affixus fuit pro nobis ? Tune
cunâi prolpicientes in fublimi formidabile
ôc fandum magni Regis feeptrum cogno-
cent, Ôc in memoriam reducent fermonem
Domini prædicentis: quia fignum apparebit
