Deum in terra non invenis , ab omnibus
rejedlus eft : ab univerfis diledtio
odio habetur : invidia potius regnat :
contentiones , confufionefque in terra cu-
mulantur , iniquitates omnes fimul ope-
ruerunt . Unufquifque terrena inquirit ,
ac coeleftia afpernatur : temporalia exo-
ptat , 6c futura nemo diligit . Coele-
ftis elfe cupis ? quæ in terra funt, minime
quæras , fed averfare , atque execra-
re : operare vero ut perfedtus, ac con-
cupifce ut perfedlus regnum coelorum .
Cogita dicens : longum eft exercitatio-
nis tempus , 6c grave , 6c ipfe fum
negligens , atque imbecillis , 6c operam
navare non poftum . Auribus excipe
verba optimi , utilifque confilii : intel-
lige , quid tibi dico , frater a Chrifto
dilecte . Si in aliam regionem longin-
quam tranfire volueris , una hora totum
iter conficere non potes , fed gradatim
fingulis diebus eundo , 6c confiftendo
migras : 6c cum tempore , 6c labore perve-
nis in regionem , quam defideras . Haud

habes in ipfis delecftatione aifedtus . Ro-
borantur enim greffus animæ tuæ in

Fias mihi, Chrifte, via vita?, quae ducit ad
