A fpecierum : ad eundem modum nee Sa-
cerdotium ab ullo fordidum redditur ,
quantumvis etiam indignus fit is , qui illud
fufeepit. Porro fi quis ad hanc dignitatem
velut dignus repertus fit , in eaque__>
fanefte & irrepreherifibiliter ambularit j vi-
tam 6>c coronam immarçefcibilem fibi ipfe
conciliât. Sed fi indigne quis hanc ipfam
fibi ufurpare fit aufus, tenebras is fibi ex-
teriores, judiciumque abfque mifericordia
ö confcifcit .
En aliud tibi exemplum , 6 homo ,
ne tu indigne audeas & arroganter obre-
pere ad dignitatem Sacerdotii; quum non
bene fibi complaceat Deus purus in arroganter
ordinatis . Nofee quid miferi illi
fint palïï , qui olim reftiterunt Moyfi &
Aaron, fuaque temeritate aufi funt impu-
denter atque præfraâe facrificare Deo : non-
2 ne ignis è coelo devoravit omnes-, qui ad
illam dignitatem afcendere fupra fe funt
aufi? Rurfus autem & Maria ProphetilfaLj»
D e i, quod brevi quodam fermone., Moyfi
de Sacerdotio improperaret, talem éi "re-
prehenfipnis notam ftatuit Altilfimus, ut
tota leprofa feptem diebus ejiceretur extra
caftra . Iccirco hæc nunc, o fratres, pure
adminiftrate, imitantes Moyfen, & Aaron,
atque Elea2arum. Confidera piós Sacerdo-
3 te s , quomodo in ipfo Sacerdotio , facrile-
ga hoftium caftra fint u lti. Hoe poiïïdens
Moyfes, manus ad Deum fuftulit, pereuf-
fitque Amalec plaga incurabili. Hoe quoque
circumamiétus Abraham , Reges in .fu-
gam vertit. Hoe ornatus Melchifedec , A-
brahæ benedixit elecfto benediétione exi-
mia. Dignatus-es, frater, dignitate Sacerdotii
? ftude complacere i l i i , qui te elej
g i t , ut fis ipfi miles cum puritate & jufti-
tia , ac fapientia divina, illuftrique virgi-
nitate. Efto fervens æmulator, ut tempe-
rans Jofeph, & caftus ut Jofue , holpitalis
ut Abraham , paupertatis amator ut Job,
indulgens ut David , & mitis ut Moyfes
. Errantem reducito, claudum confirma,
erige cadentem, fuccurre infirmis, &
alia his fimilia.
Ego vero obftupefco, fratres diledti ,
’ ad e a , quæ foliti funt quidam infipientum
audere, qui impudenter, ac temere fefe-»
conantur ingerere ad munus Sacerdotii
alfumendum , licet non adlciti a gratia_>
Chrifti, ignorantes miferi, quod ignem &
mortem fibi accumulent . Non dico tibi ,
homo, non folum Sacerdotium temere’ non
alfumendum: fed neque cæterorum quid-
piam ex vafis yere venerandi cultus divini
contingendum : Siquidem legifti, quid paf-
fus fit Oza, éo quod arcam Dei tetigiflet .
