1.11 Præposuit itaque eis, etc. ORIG. Diabolus, convocata gente sua, opprimere cupit rationabilem sensum, qui nunc figuraliter dicitur Isræl: præficit magistros operum, qui cogant eos discere opera carnis, secundum illud psalmi CV: Commisti sunt inter gentes, et didicerunt opera eorum. Docet ædificare civitates Pharaoni. Phitom, quæ significat os defectionis, vel abyssi; et Ramesses, quæ est commotio tineæ, et On, id est Heliopolis, quæ dicitur civitas solis. Deficit os, cum mendacium loquitur a veritate et probationibus. Ille ab initio mendax fuit, et ideo tales civitates vult sibi ædificari: os abyssi, quia abyssus perditionis ejus est locus; alia ejus civitas est commotio tineæ: qui enim eum sequitur, ibi thesaurizat ubi tinea demolitur, et fures effodiunt et furantur Matth. 6.. Civitatem quoque Solis ædificat, falso nomine transfigurans sein angelum lucis. In his occupat mentes, quæ factæ sunt ut videant Deum. Prospicit tamen imminere sibi bella et maturum gentis suæ exitium; ideo dicit, Gens Isræl valet super nos, utinam et nos sentiat valere super se: ut scilicet cogitationes, et concupiscentias malas, quas immittit, non suscipiam sed jacula ignita scuto fidei repellam, et in omnibus quæ suggesserit, dicam: Vade retro, Satana: scriptum est enim: Dominum Deum tuum adorabis, et illi soli servies Matth. 4.. Sed et hoc quod dicit, Ne forte accidat nobis bellum, et consentiant hi cum adversariis nostris, ex propheticis vocibus prævidet sibi venturum bellum, et derelinquendum se a filiis Isræl, et quod consentiant adversario ejus, et adjiciantur ad Dominum. Hoc est quod Jeremias ait cap. 17.. Clamavit perdix, congregavit quæ non peperit, fecit divitias, et non in judicio: in dimidio dierum ejus derelinquent eum, et in novissimis suis erit stultus. Intelligit ergo perdicem se, quæ non peperit, congregasse; et quod hi, quos sine judicio congregavit, relinquent eum, et sequentur Christum, qui genuit. Ipse stultus remanebit, cum ad factorem suum et parentem universa creatura confugerit; ideo indignatur, dicens: Ne expugnantes nos exeant de terra nostra. Non vult nos exire de terra sua, ut semper portemus imaginem terreni: ne eo relicto fugiamus ad eum qui præparavit regnum cœlorum, relinquentes imaginem terreni, et suscipientes imaginem cœlestis. Ideo statuit magistros operum, qui artes suas doceant, et nos artifices malitiæ faciant. Et quia sunt multi magistri malitiæ, quos præfecit Pharao, qui imperant, exigunt, extorquent terrena opera: ideo Christo veniente fecit alios doctores contra illos pugnantes, qui subjicientes omnes principatus eorum, et potestates, et virtutes, defendant a violentia filios Isræl, et doceant Isrælitica opera, et mente videre Deum; relinquere opera Pharaonis, exire de terra Ægypti, Ægyptios mores et totum veterem hominem cum actibus suis exuere, et induere novum, qui secundum Deum creatus est. ISID. Isræl populum Christianum, Pharao diabolum significat: qui luti et lateris imponit gravissimum jugum, servitutem scilicet terreni et lutulenti operis; admistis paleis, id est, levibus et irrationabilibus factis: ut omnibus onere peccatorum oppressis, nemo sit qui regnum ejus disperdat aut vincat.
