14.2 Balæ. HIERON. Hebraice devoratio dicitur. Tradunt Hebræi hanc alibi Salissam dici, et vitulam consternantem, quod tertio terræ motu absorpta sit. Et ex eo tempore quo Sodoma et Gomorrha, Adame et Seboim divino igne sunt subversæ, illa parvula nuncupetur. Segor enim transfertur in parvam, quæ Syra lingua Zoara dicitur. Vallis autem Salinarum, in qua fuerunt putei bituminis, post Dei iram et sulphuris pluviam, in mare Mortuum versa est. quod a Græcis stagnum Asphalti, id est bituminis, dicitur. Mystice. Quatuor reges quinque superant, dum contrariæ potestates quinque sensibus corporis abutentes vitiis illaqueant et captivant. Allegorice. Tales reges superant primum Bara, qui interpretatur malitia vel creatura, et est rex Sodomorum, id est cæcitatis, vel pecudis silentis, cum eis qui in vetusta malitia perseverant, more pecudum cæcitatem libidinis sequi persuadent. Vincunt et Bersa, id est in angustia constitutum, regem Gomorrhæ, id est populi tumentis et seditiosi, cum eos qui curis sæculi angustiantur ac nefas rapinæ agere non formidant, obruunt et prosternunt. Vincunt quoque Sennaab regem Adamæ, id est terrenæ, cum eos qui terrena tantum sapiunt in luxuria permanere hortantur, ut dicant: Comedamus et bibamus, cras enim moriemur I Cor. 15. Vincunt Semeber, qui interpretatur ibi perditio, et est rex Seboim, id est cinguli mæroris, cum per iracundiam et invidiam incautos decipiunt; unde Job 5: Stultum interficit iracundia, parvulum occidit invidia. Regem quoque Bale vincunt, cum pusillanimes in desperationem mittunt; Bale namque interpretatur præcipitatio vel absorbitio: ad hoc maxime diabolus certat ut post lapsum peccati in desperationem mittat.
