14.14 Quod cum audisset Abram, etc. ISID. Mystice. Similiter fides nostra cum firmata est Spiritu principali, quinque sensus corporis quasi quinque reges subjicit, verbo Dei triumphans de homine exteriori. Ille in trecentis decem et octo adversarios debellavit, quia nos in sacramento crucis, quam tau littera significat, quæ trecenta significat, quinque sensus carnales, nos antea variis vitiis captivantes, superamus. Decem et octo, ex ternario et senario multiplicatus, fidem Trinitatis et perfectionem significat operis quibus virtutum contra vitia plena victoria perficitur. STRAB. Allegorice. Bellum Abræ cum quatuor regibus significat bellum virtutum et vitiorum. Pater ergo fidei, et prima via credendi, pro fratre suo Lot dimicavit et vicit, non in multitudine exercitus, sed in trecentis decem et octo expeditis vernaculis. Sic quisque pro anima sua contra spirituales nequitias bellum gerat cum trecentis decem et octo vernaculis, id est, cum auxilio sanctæ crucis: tau enim littera, quæ habet figuram crucis, trecenta exprimit. Dan autem unus est de fontibus Jordanis; alter enim Jor vocatur, quod interpretatur rivus; duobus ergo fontibus, qui non procul a se distant, in unum rivulum fœderatis, Jordanis appellatur.
