1.22 Præcepit ergo Pharao, etc. ORIG., homil. 2. Ægyptii, quibus hic præcepit Pharao ut feminas tantum vivificent, oderant masculos. Oderunt enim virtutes, vitia nutrierunt. Nunc quoque insidiantur Ægyptii, si nascatur masculus Hebræis, ut statim interficiant, nisi caveant, observent et occultent. Refert Scriptura quod de tribu Levi aliquis genuit masculum, et vidit infantem esse elegantem et occultavit eum. Ne ergo justitiam nostram faciamus coram hominibus, sed clauso ostio oremus Patrem nostrum in occulto, et nesciat sinistra quid faciat dextera, ne diripiatur ab Ægyptiis, invadatur, fluctibus submergatur. Si facio eleemosynam quia est opus Dei, masculum genero; sed si laudem ab hominibus quæro, et non occulto, rapitur ab Ægyptiis, in flumen mergitur, et tanto labore tantoque studio Ægyptiis masculum genui. Quidquid feminini HIERON., in Ecclesiasten., c. 3. Ubicunque in Scripturis femina legitur et sexus fragilior, ad materiæ intelligentiam transferamus. Unde et Pharao non vult masculos nasci, sed feminas, quæ materiæ sunt vicinæ, et contrario nullus sanctorum nisi perraro feminas genuisse narratur. Solusque Salphaat, qui in peccatis mortuus est, omnes filias genuit: Jacob unius filiæ pater est, et ob ipsam periclitatur.

Quidquid feminini HIERON., in Ecclesiasten., c. 3. Ubicunque in Scripturis femina legitur and sexus fragilior, to materiæ intelligentiam transferamus. Unde and Pharao not/no vult masculos nasci, but feminas, which materiæ are vicinæ, and contrario nullus sanctorum nisi perraro feminas genuisse narratur. Solusque Salphaat, who in sins dead it_is, everyone daughters genuit: Yacob of_one daughters father it_is, and ob ipsam periclitatur.
