20.5 Non adorabis, etc. Aliud est colere, aliud adorare. Potest quis invitus adorare, vel adulando regibus idololatris, vel tormentis victus, cum sciat quia idolum nil est. Colere vero est toto his affectu et studio mancipari. Utrumque ergo resecat, ut nec affectu colas, nec specie adores. Ego sum Dominus, etc. Vide benignitatem Dei: ut nos doceat et perfectos faciat, fragilitatem humanorum affectuum non recusat; omnia agit et patitur propter nos, notis et usitatis nobis loquitur affectibus. ORIG., ubi supra. Omnis mulier aut sub viro est, et subjecta est legibus viri Eph. 5., aut meretrix est, et utitur libertate peccandi. Qui ingreditur ad meretricem, scit quod ad prostitutam et cunctis patentem ingressus est, ideo de aliis indignari non potest. Qui legitimo utitur matrimonio, non patitur uxorem peccare, sed accenditur zelo ad servandam castitatem matrimonii, ut possit legitimus fieri pater. Sic omnis anima aut prostituta est cum dæmonibus, et habet plures amatores ut intrent ad eam, modo spiritus fornicationis, modo avaritia, post hunc veniet spiritus superbiæ et alii plurimi; alter tamen alteri non invidet, nec zelotypia movetur, sed sese invicem invitant; unde, adducit secum alios septem spiritus nequiores se, etc. Luc. 11. Sic nullam zelotypiam amatorum suorum patitur anima quæ dæmonibus est prostituta; si vero conjuncta fuerit viro legitimo, id est Christo, etiamsi aliquando fuerit peccatrix, ultra eam peccare non patitur, nec ferre potest ut alludat adulteris; excitatur super eam zelus ejus, et defendit conjugii castitatem; si autem viderit eam temerantem conjugii jura, et occasionem quærere peccandi, dat ei libellum repudii; unde Isa. 50: Propter iniquitates vestras dimisit matrem vestram; hæc qui loquitur et zelans est et zelo commotus hoc dicit. Est etiam novum genus hoc bonitatis ejus, ut etiam post adulterium revertentem et toto corde pœnitentem suscipiat. Unde: Nunquid mulier si exierit a viro, et dormierit cum alio viro, revertens revertetur ad virum suum? etc. Et alibi: Et postquam fornicata es in his omnibus, dixi: Revertere, etc. Jer. 3. Hic ergo Deus zelans si requirit et desiderat animam tuam sibi adhærere, si servat, corripit et indignatur, velut zelotypia quadam erga te usus, spem tibi esse salutis agnosce. Si vero correptionem contemnis, discedit a te zelus ejus, secundum illud: Propterea discedit zelus meus a te, etc. Ezech. 16. Vide misericordiam et pietatem Dei; quando vult misereri, indignari se dicit et irasci, sicut per Jeremiam dicit: Dolore et flagello castigaberis, Hierusalem, ut non abscedat anima mea a te Jer. 6.. Flagellat enim omnem filium quem recipit Hebr. 12.. Hoc autem terribile, hoc extremum, si non corripimur pro peccatis: cum enim modum peccandi excedimus, auferetur a nobis etiam zelus Dei, nec ultra irascitur. Visitans iniquitatem, etc. ORIG. Reddens peccata patrum in filios, etc. Aiunt hæretici quod non boni Dei sermo sit, qui pro peccatis alterius alterum dicat plecti; Deum tamen legis justum dicunt, nec possunt ostendere quomodo injustus sit, si alium alio peccante punit. Sed interior homo noster aut dicitur habere Deum Patrem, si secundum Deum vivit; aut diabolum, si voluntatem illius facit; unde Joan. 8: Vos de patre diabolo estis, et desideria patris vestri facere vultis. Sicut ergo semen Dei in nobis est, cum verbum Dei servantes non peccamus, secundum illud I Joan. 3, Qui ex Deo est, non peccat, quia semen Dei manet in eo; ita cum a diabolo suademur ad peccandum, semen ejus suscipimus; cum facimus quod suadet, jam genuit nos, nascimur enim ejus filii per peccatum. Sed quia fere sine adjutorio non peccamus, sicut adulterium nemo solus committit, necesse est adulteram consortem fieri, et si non plures, necesse est aliquem vel aliquam ministerio sceleris adjungi: qui omnes, velut unus ex altero, secundum persuasionis ordinem, generati, ex diabolo progeniem ducunt; velut in traditione Domini diabolus intravit in cor Judæ, et primum filium peccati genuit, qui solus hoc facere non potuit; abiit ergo ad Scribas et Pharisæos et pontifices; nascitur ergo ex Juda generatio tertia, et quarta peccati. Videamus ergo quomodo peccata patrum reddit Deus in filios in tertiam et quartam progeniem, et non in ipso. De patribus enim nihil dicitur. Diabolus ergo, quia jam peccandi modum excessit, tanquam vestimentum concretum in sanguine non erit mundus in hoc sæculo; non flagellatur pro peccato; omnia enim ei servantur in futurum. unde Matth. 8.: Quid venisti ante tempus torquere nos? Redduntur autem peccata in filios quos genuit per peccatum, qui in carne positi flagellantur. Non vult Deus mortem peccatoris, sed ut magis convertatur et vivat Ezech. 33.. Misericors ergo reddit peccata patrum in filios, quia diabolus et angeli ejus, qui etiam peccati patres efficiuntur, indigni sunt quod in præsenti corripiantur: filii eorum, et qui per ipsos ad societatem peccati asciti sunt, recipiunt in præsenti quod gesserunt, ut, purgati, diabolo in pœna socii non efficiantur. Unde psalmo 88: Visitabo in virga iniquitates eorum, etc., misericordiam autem meam non auferam ab eis. Deus enim zelans est, et animam quam sibi despondet in fide non vult in contaminatione peccati permanere, sed cito purgari. Si autem noluerit purgari, in interitu eorum ridebit, dicens eis Matth. 25: Discedite a me, maledicti, in ignem æternum, etc. Sciamus ergo nos in præsenti corripi, ut in futuro quiescamus. Unde: Cum castigamur, a Domino corripimur, ne cum hoc mundo damnemur. ID. In hoc sermone solent nos hæretici suggillare, quod non sit boni Dei sermo, qui pro peccatis alterius alium judicat. Sed qui Deum legis mandantem hæc dicent non bonum, justum tamen dicunt: nec ipsi quidem possunt ostendere quomodo justitiæ videatur convenire si alio peccante alius puniatur. ISID. Primum mandatum prohibet subreptionem; secundum, errorem; tertium interficit sæculi amorem; quartum, impietatem; quintum, crudelitatem; sextum, fornicationem; septimum, rapacitatem; octavum perimit falsitatem; nonum, mundi cupiditatem; decimum, adulterii cogitationem. Et notandum quod sicut decem plagis percutiuntur Ægyptii, sic decem præceptis scribuntur tabulæ, quibus populus Dei regatur et dæmones occidantur. In duabus enim tabulis scripta est lex propter duo Testamenta significanda: vel quia sunt præcepta duo dilectionis Dei et proximi, in quibus tota lex pendet et prophetæ Matth. 22.. In una enim tria præcepta, quæ ad dilectionem Dei pertinent; in altera vero septem, quæ ad societatem proximi. Lapideæ vero fuerunt tabulæ, quia cor Judæorum erat lapideum et insensibile, durum et stolidum; unde Ezech. 36: Auferam cor lapideum, et dabo eis cor carneum. Et Apostolus ait II Cor. 3.: Non in tabulis lapideis, sed in tabulis cordis carnalibus, quæ sentiant scilicet et intelligant.

20.5 Non adorabis, etc. Aliud it_is colere, something_else adorare. Potest who/any invitus adorare, or adulando regibus idololatris, or tormentis victus, when/with sciat because idolum nil it_is. Colere vero it_is toto his affectu and studio mancipari. Utrumque therefore resecat, as but_not affectu colas, but_not specie adores. I I_am Master, etc. Vide benignitatem of_God: as we doceat and perfectos faciat, fragilitatem humanorum affectuum not/no recusat; everything agit and patitur propter we, notis and usitatis us loquitur affectibus. ORIG., where supra. Everyone mulier aut under to_the_man it_is, and subyecta it_is legibus viri Eph. 5., aut meretrix it_is, and utitur libertate peccandi. Who ingreditur to meretricem, scit that to prostitutam and cunctis patentem ingressus it_is, ideo about aliis indignari not/no potest. Who legitimo utitur matrimonio, not/no patitur wife peccare, but accenditur zelo to servandam castitatem matrimonii, as possit legitimus to_be_done pater. So everyone anima aut prostituta it_is when/with dæmonibus, and habet plures amatores as intrent to eam, modo spiritus fornicationis, modo avaritia, after this_one veniet spiritus superbiæ and alii plurimi; alter tamen alteri not/no invidet, but_not zelotypia movetur, but sese invicem invitant; unde, adducit secum alios seven spiritus nequiores se, etc. Luc. 11. So nullam zelotypiam amatorum suorum patitur anima which dæmonibus it_is prostituta; when/but_if vero conyuncta has_been to_the_man legitimo, id it_is Christo, etiamsi aliquando has_been peccatrix, ultra her peccare not/no patitur, but_not ferre potest as alludat adulteris; excitatur over her zelus his, and defendit conyugii castitatem; when/but_if however viderit her temerantem conyugii yura, and occasionem quærere peccandi, dat to_him libellum repudii; whence Isa. 50: Because iniquitates your dimisit mother vestram; these_things who loquitur and zelans it_is and zelo commotus this dicit. Est also new genus this bonitatis his, as also after adulterium revertentem and toto corde pœnitentem suscipiat. Whence: Nunquid mulier when/but_if exierit from viro, and dormierit when/with alio viro, revertens revertetur to virum suum? etc. And alibi: And postquam fornicata you_are in his to_all, dixi: Revertere, etc. Yer. 3. Hic therefore God zelans when/but_if requirit and desiderat animam tuam sibi adhærere, when/but_if servat, corripit and indignatur, velut zelotypia quadam erga you(sg) usus, spem to_you esse salutis agnosce. When/But_if vero correptionem contemnis, discedit from you(sg) zelus his, after/second illud: That's_why discedit zelus mine from you(sg), etc. Ezech. 16. Vide misericordiam and pietatem of_God; when vult misereri, indignari se he_says and irasci, like through Yeremiam he_says: Dolore and flagello castigaberis, Hierusalem, as not/no abscedat anima mea from te Yer. 6.. Flagellat because omnem son which recipit Hebr. 12.. This however terribile, this extremum, when/but_if not/no corripimur for peccatis: when/with because modum peccandi excedimus, auferetur from us also zelus of_God, but_not ultra irascitur. Visitans iniquitatem, etc. ORIG. Reddens sins patrum in filios, etc. Aiunt hæretici that not/no boni of_God sermo let_it_be, who for sins alterius the_other let_him_say plecti; God tamen legis justum dicunt, but_not possunt ostendere how injustus let_it_be, when/but_if alium alio peccante punit. But interior human noster aut it_is_said habere God Patrem, when/but_if after/second God vivit; aut diabolum, when/but_if voluntatem illius facit; whence Yoan. 8: Vos about patre diabolo estis, and desideria of_the_father vestri facere vultis. Sicut therefore seed of_God in us it_is, when/with the_word of_God servantes not/no peccamus, after/second illud I Yoan. 3, Who from Deo it_is, not/no peccat, because seed of_God manet in eo; ita when/with from diabolo suademur to peccandum, seed his suscipimus; when/with facimus that suadet, yam genuit we, nascimur because his children through peccatum. But because fere without adyutorio not/no peccamus, like adulterium nemo solus committit, necesse it_is adulteram consortem fieri, and when/but_if not/no plures, necesse it_is aliquem or aliquam ministerio sceleris adyungi: who omnes, velut one from altero, after/second persuasionis ordinem, generati, from diabolo progeniem ducunt; velut in traditione Master diabolus he_entered in heart Yudæ, and primum son peccati genuit, who solus this facere not/no potuit; he_is_gone therefore to Scribas and Pharisæos and pontifices; nascitur therefore from Yuda generatio tertia, and the_fourth peccati. Videamus therefore how sins patrum reddit God in filios in tertiam and quartam progeniem, and not/no in ipso. De patribus because nihil it_is_said. Diabolus therefore, because yam peccandi modum excessit, tanquam vestimentum concretum in sanguine not/no will_be mundus in this sæculo; not/no flagellatur for peccato; everything because to_him servantur in futurum. whence Matth. 8.: What venisti before tempus torquere nos? Redduntur however sins in filios which genuit through peccatum, who in carne positi flagellantur. Non vult God mortem peccatoris, but as magis convertatur and he_lives Ezech. 33.. Misericors therefore reddit sins patrum in filios, because diabolus and angeli his, who also peccati patres efficiuntur, indigni are that in præsenti corripiantur: children their, and who through themselves to societatem peccati asciti are, recipiunt in præsenti that gesserunt, ut, purgati, diabolo in pœna socii not/no efficiantur. Unde psalmo 88: Visitabo in rod/staff iniquitates their, etc., misericordiam however meam not/no auferam away eis. God because zelans it_is, and animam how sibi despondet in fide not/no vult in contaminatione peccati permanere, but cito purgari. When/But_if however noluerit purgari, in interitu their ridebit, saying to_them Matth. 25: Discedite from me, maledicti, in ignem eternal, etc. Sciamus therefore we in præsenti corripi, as in futuro quiescamus. Whence: Since castigamur, from Master corripimur, not when/with this mundo damnemur. ID. In this sermone solent we hæretici suggillare, that not/no let_it_be boni of_God sermo, who for sins alterius alium yulet_him_say. But who God legis mandantem these_things dicent not/no bonum, justum tamen dicunt: but_not ipsi indeed possunt ostendere how justitiæ videatur convenire when/but_if alio peccante alius puniatur. ISID. Primum mandatum prohibet subreptionem; secundum, errorem; tertium interficit sæculi amorem; quartum, impietatem; quintum, crudelitatem; sextum, fornicationem; septimum, rapacitatem; octavum perimit falsitatem; nonum, mundi cupiditatem; decimum, adulterii cogitationem. And notandum that like ten plagis percutiuntur Ægyptii, so ten præceptis scribuntur tabulæ, to_whom populus of_God regatur and dæmones occidantur. In duabus because tabulis scripta it_is lex propter two Testamenta significanda: or because are præcepta two dilectionis of_God and proximi, in to_whom tota lex pendet and prophetæ Matth. 22.. In una because tria præcepta, which to dilectionem of_God pertinent; in altera vero septem, which to societatem proximi. Lapideæ vero fuerunt tabulæ, because heart Yudæorum was lapideum and insensibile, durum and stolidum; whence Ezech. 36: Auferam heart lapideum, and dabo to_them heart carneum. And Apostolus he_said II Cor. 3.: Non in tabulis lapideis, but in tabulis cordis carnalibus, which sentiant scilicet and intelligant.
