1.17 Ut lucerent, etc. Hæc de magnis luminaribus intelligi possunt et stellis; ut quod dictum est, ut præessent diei, ad solem specialiter, quod subjunctum est, et nocti, ad lunam et stellas pertineat; quod vero additur, dividerent lucem ac tenebras, omnibus æque conveniat; quæ quocunque incedunt, lucem circumferunt; unde cum absunt, tenebrosa cuncta relinquunt.

Et quomodo stellæ omnes, id est intelligentiæ spirituales, in hujus vitæ obscuritate tanquam in nocte fulgeant.
