cum eo amicitiam confuetudinemque > &
quam per ipfum magnificata eft,& glorificata:
Sed, die, inquit, verbum aliquod adverfus Deum
& morere. O gratiam muliebrem ! O fomen-
tum dolorum efficax ! O amicitiam conjuga-
lem ! Neque enim fatis erat ei temporaneus
hie dolor, quin & seternum ipfi fupplicium
per blafphemiam conciliare cupit. Nolle vis
hujufee malitias mulierem aliam, moribus ab
hac baud difparem ? Ecce mihi Dalilam , quo
paefto virum proprium, tonfo ejus capite,
ligatum tradiderit in manus alienigenarum :
quoniam proprium membrum, ac conjugem,
quem foverat , quem obfequiofe coluerat,
quem complexa erat, quemque magis quam
femetipfam diligere fimulaverat: quem heri
amabat, hodie fefellit: quem heri amando
fovebat, hodie decipiendo fepelivit. Atqui
fpeciofus non erat. Et quis eo pulchritudine q
clarior ? qui feptem crines in capite geftabat,
qui feptiforme lumen defignabant gratias?
Atqui non erat fortis. Et quis illo for-
tior ? qui leonem terribilem folus in via__*
percufferat ; & unica afini mandibula—>
mille viros alienigenas dejecerat . Quin &
tantas erat fandVimonias, ut etiam quando-
que fitiente eo, & inopia aquze , orante , ex
arrepta in manu ejus mandibula afini emor-
tua, fons aquarum fcaturiret: quibus hau- D
ftis refocillavit fpiritum, & vires recepit,
Atque hunc tantas fandlitatis, pulchritudinis
& fortitudinis virum propria mulier detur-
bavit, & velut hoftem vindtum in alienigenarum
manus tradidit : quem excascantes
i ll i , ludibrio habuerunt. Et cui neque leones
, neque alienigenas refiftere quibant ,
hunc propria conjux dejecit. Et unde ifta_>
potuerunt, nifi ex mera hujus viri bonitate ? g
Myfterium namque fortitudinis ipfius inter
dormiendum, nodtu per dolum deprasdans,
ilium jam nudum atque inermem circumve-
n it. Quamobrem nos admonet propheta, di-
Miclu7. eens: Ab ea , quadormit infinu tuo , eußodi clauftra
oris tui. Quas enim unquam beftia , die
mihi, in maritum fuum talia exercuit ? Quae
dracaena conjugem proprium interimere vo-
luit ? quae unquam leaena fuum maritum ad
caedem tradidit? Yere fic fe res habet: non eft F
malitia fuper malitiam mulieris . Qui igitur
uxorem improbam nadtus eft, intelligat fuo-
rum fe delictorum tulifte mercedem : ait enim
Trov* 21» fapiens : Mulier improba viro peccatori dabi-
tur . Et Chriftus ipfe in Evangelio dicit:
Matth» 5, Omnis qui viderit mulierem ad concupifcen-
dum earn , jam machatus eft in cor-
de fuo. Vere tremenda haec eft admonitio,
& multa vigilantia opus habet. Quid enim
eft mulier ? Laqueus comtus, & homines
