Scabellum aureum. Sanctos virtutum splendore fulgidos, in quibus habitat Deus. Possunt quoque per scabellum notari qui infirmi sunt in corpore Christi, sicut pœnitentes, vel qui novissimi convertentur, juxta finem scilicet mundi, qui tamen sunt aurei igne tribulationum illius temporis excocti et probati. Stantes juxta brachiola: sed et alios duodecim leunculos, etc. Quia sancti Patres quidquid in Evangelio boni fecerunt, non sibi sed Deo deputaverunt, unde: Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam Psal. 113..
