guentum in medici honorem , copiofum
pretium accipiendo . Quum perveniftet'
autem ad quemdam unguentarium , hi-
lariter ei dixit , pax tibi ungueritarie :
da mihi unguentum eledum , regale ,
pretiofum adeo , ut fimile ipfi nullibi
inveniatur ; Cui enim illud aftero , omnium
maximus eft , neque alius eft >
qui cum eo poflît comparari. Refpon-
dens vero unguentarius mulieri dixit : ma-
gnifica ac fuperba > o femina, verba dixifti.
Quis te ignorât in urbis biviis habere
ân ipfa amantium ingentem numerum ?
Cui igitur ex omnibus vis , mulier ,
■ unguêntitm regium eledum offerre ? Quid
poteft ille prsebere pro unguento, quod
tanta mercede emere vis ? Nofco tuos
amatores univerfos ; fed nullus7 eft ex
ipfi s , qui tanto dono pretium par
referre fufficiat , quo quæris unguentum
accipere , atque offerre uni ex illis.
Vendere cupio & ego ; tamen fcire
velim , cui nam illud feras, tanto cum
ftudio > ac perturbatione . Num forte
regalis generis eft tuus Amicus , aut
filius eft magnatum ? Aut rurfus fupe-
rior eft Davide , quo major non furre-
xit rex alius in Ifrael? Num ex illius
genere eft mulier , novus hie tuus
amator ? Volo enim ex te audire : nam D
pretium amplum , & ipfum tuum defiderium
ad ftuporem me adducit, quif-
nam ille fit. Tunc vero admirabilis ilia
mulier refpondit turbata aniilio , di-
cens unguentario : Deum patrum time ,
o homo > & da mihi alabaftrum , ut
celeriter aflequar quod efficere contera .
Adjuro te per Deum , qui tribuit tantam
virtu tern in manu Moyfis ut virga divi-
deret aquas maris , & firmaret eas inftar
petrse prsedurse., ac deduceret populum
in ficco pulvere. Adjuro te , juYenis, per
ofta fanda , quse tulit Moyfes per mare
profundum , reliquias , inquam , Jofephi
athletæ qui palam devicit afpidem in fpe-
lunca. Per Aaron Yirgam , quae momen-
to nucleos germinavit in ta'bernaculo inter
virgas : Per vocem fandam> qua; lo-
cuta eft . cum Moyfe in flamma aduren-
ti , rubo non combufto : per Deum ,
qui dédit fulgere in facie Moyfis in monte
gloriam inacceftibilem : per fandam
Arcam quse ftare fecit fluenta Jordanis
fluminis adeo , ut omnino deficerent: per
fandam poteftatem quse disjecit muros urbis
Jericho in idu oculi per fandas manus
filii Nave captse > extenfas in fublimitate
aeris -, qui folo verbo curfum elementorum
firmavit, ita ut ex duobus diebus unus fie ret.

A Vide quanta tibi dixerim : nomen
tibi Dei , & fandorum ejus , qui ei
placuerunt , recenfui . Da mihi tandem
unguentum, & cape quantum vis pre-
tii pro alabaftro : folum eledum da
mihi > ac me dimitte , ut yideam- celeriter
magnum diledum amantem inji-
maculatum . Refpondit rurfus mulieri
unguentarius videns pretii magnitudi-
nem pro alabaftro ; quid , ait , no-
“ cebit , o mulier, fi etiam mecum verba
facias de tuo Amante , quem
nunc magna , ac tali diledione pro-
fequeris , ut me in defiderium addu-
xeris eum videndi , o mulier, & dare
non poflim > nifi mihi dicas, quis
fit ? Cur me cogis , refpondit femina
, tarn diligenter interrogans de dis,
quse fcire non licet ? Cernis , quo pa-
C d o ardet meum cor , quando tandem
afpiciara , & me gaudio explebit. Ve-
reor ne defiderii mei tempus pertran-
feat , & ei sequalem non amplius in-
veniam , non enim eft tempus durabile
in terra . Neque eft ex medici s , qui
juxta noftram" setatem artem adulterant^
aut terrena medicamenta conficit , fed
uno verbo opera perficit , & per tota
fæcula. valida permanet illius fana-
tio : determiriato tempore hoc verfari
debet in terra, & per integra fsecula eft in-
vifibilis : nam regnum ejus eft invifibile : &
Regnum illius fucceflorem non habet. De
reliquo dimitte me , dignum pretium ac-
cipiens , ne mihi audor fis graviftimi
dolor is , atque in nihilum redigantur
ea , quse fperando expedo . Si eninj
occultum mei cordis amorem cogno-
p feeres , ante quam me interrogates
præberes donum pro. conveniente mercede
. Ideo ne me retardes : fortaflç
enim & tibi utile erit , & properabis
, ficut & ego propter illius amo-
rem expediri : tantus enim eft in ipfo
amor eximius . Qui ad eum acce-
dunt, cum ingenti gaudio dimittit , atque
in perpetuum amicos recipit amo-
re diledionis quse infanire videtur. Ti-
F me igitnr, homo , Deum immaculatum,
ac récréa me bona relponfione , qui
voco Deum Sandum, Deum Abraham,
filiumque ejus Ifaac honoro , fimiliter
Jacobum Ifrael cognominc , & patri-
archam pono duodecim tribuum .
Deum , qui dédit Annse Samuelem ,
cum dolore oranti in tribulatione ora-
tionis ’. Morem gere , adolefcens ,
& da alabaftrum regium , eledum ,
quemadmodum jam dixi : Si feires
