28.12 Viditque in somnis, etc. GREG., Regist. l. 1, ep. 24 Jacob prædicatores signat qui non solum caput Ecclesiæ, id est Christum contemplando appetunt, sed ad membra illius miserando descendunt: quod angeli ascendentes descendentesque demonstrant. Hinc Moses crebro tabernaculum intrat, et exit; et qui intus ad contemplationem rapitur, foris infirmantium negotiis urgetur; intus arcana considerat, foris onera carnalium portat. Qui de dubiis semper ad tabernaculum recurrit, coram testamenti arca Dominum consulit, exemplum rectoribus præbens, ut cum foris ambigunt quid disponant, ad mentem quasi ad tabernaculum redeant, et velut coram testamenti arca Dominum consulant, de quibus dubitant, apud se intus sacri eloquii paginas requirentes. Moraliter. In itinere dormire est in via hujus sæculi ab impedimento actionum sæcularium quiescere. Jacob dormiens angelos vidit: quia illi divina conspiciunt, qui ab appetitu temporalium rerum oculos claudunt: quos bene clausos diabolus aperuit dicens: In quacunque die comederitis, aperientur oculi vestri. Gen. 3 Vidit in somnis, etc. ISID. Angeli per scalam ascendentes et descendentes, evangelistæ sunt et prædicatores Christi, ascendentes ad intelligendam Divinitatem; omnem creaturam excedentes, ut inveniant in principio Verbum apud Deum, per quem omnia facta sunt. Descendentes ut inveniant eum, factum ex muliere, factum sub lege, etc. In illa etiam scala a terra usque ad cœlum, a carne usque ad spiritum: quia in illa carnales proficiendo, quasi ascendendo spirituales fiunt. Ad quos lacte nutriendos spirituales descendunt, quia non possunt eis loqui quasi spiritualibus, sed quasi carnalibus. Ipse est sursum in capite, ipse deorsum in corpore suo, id est Ecclesia; ipse scala, qui ait Joan. 14: Ego sum via, etc. Ad ipsum ascenditur, ut in excelsis intelligatur: et descenditur, ut in membris parvulis nutriatur; per illum se erigunt, ut sublimem exspectent: et humiliant, ut eum sublimiter et temperanter annuntient.

28.12 Viditque in somnis, etc. GREG., Regist. l. 1, ep. 24 Yacob prædicatores signat who not/no solum caput Ecclesiæ, id it_is Christum contemplando appetunt, but to members illius miserando descendunt: that angeli ascendentes descendentesque demonstrant. Hinc Moses crebro tabernaculum intrat, and exit; and who intus to contemplationem rapitur, foris infirmantium negotiis urgetur; intus arcana considerat, foris onera carnalium portat. Who about dubiis semper to tabernaculum recurrit, coram testamenti arca Dominum consulit, exemplum rectoribus præbens, as when/with foris ambigunt quid disponant, to mentem as_if to tabernaculum redeant, and velut coram testamenti arca Dominum consulant, about to_whom dubitant, apud se intus sacri eloquii paginas requirentes. Moraliter. In itinere dormire it_is in road huyus sæculi away impedimento actionum sæcularium quiescere. Yacob dormiens angelos vidit: because illi divina conspiciunt, who away appetitu temporalium rerum oculos claudunt: which bene clausos diabolus aperuit dicens: In quacunque die comederitis, aperientur oculi vestri. Gen. 3 Vidit in somnis, etc. ISID. Angeli per scalam ascendentes and descendentes, evangelistæ are and prædicatores Christi, ascendentes to intelligendam Divinitatem; omnem creaturam excedentes, as inveniant in at_the_beginning Verbum apud God, per which omnia facts are. Descendentes as inveniant him, factum ex muliere, factum under lege, etc. In illa also scala a earth/land usque to cœlum, a carne usque to spiritum: because in illa carnales proficiendo, as_if ascendendo spirituales fiunt. Ad which lacte nutriendos spirituales descendunt, because not/no possunt eis lowho as_if spiritualibus, but as_if carnalibus. Ipse it_is sursum in capite, himself deorsum in corpore suo, id it_is Ecclesia; himself scala, who he_said Yoan. 14: I I_am via, etc. Ad ipsum ascenditur, as in excelsis intelligatur: and descenditur, as in membris parvulis nutriatur; per him se erigunt, as sublimem exspectent: and humiliant, as him sublimiter and temperanter annuntient.
