7.11 Anno sexcentesimo, etc. Allegorice. Notandum quod sexcentesimo anno inundaverunt aquæ diluvii, quia sexta ætate mundi primo commendatum est sacramentum baptismi, et hoc septima decima die secundi mensis, quia denarius decalogum significat. Septenarius propter Sabbatum septimam requiem significat, et quia in decalogo renuntiatio vitiorum videtur, quicunque in baptismo initiatur, propter æternam requiem, omnibus vitiis se abrenuntiare profitetur. Cataractæ. Fenestræ, nubes scilicet, quæ sunt apertæ, ut inde insolitæ et majores pluviæ funderentur. Cataractæ vero proprie sunt ostia Nili, sed abusive pro omnibus fenestris ponuntur. RAB. De arca solet quæri utrum tanta capacitate, quanta describitur, animalia omnia quæ ingressa dicuntur, et escas eorum ferre potuerit? Quod cubito geometrico solvit Origenes, asserens non frustra dictum esse Mosen in omni sapientia Ægyptiorum fuisse eruditum, qui geometriam dilexerunt, et cubitum geometricum quantum sex nostros continere.

7.11 In_the_year six_hundredth, etc. Allegorically. Note that six_hundredth in_the_year they_flooded water flood, because sixth age world at_first recommended it_is sacrament baptism, and this seventh tenth day second month, because denarius Decalogue means. Sevenfold because Sabbath seven rest/repose means, and because in/into/on Decalogue report of_vices it_seems, whoever in/into/on baptism is_initiated, because eternal rest/repose, to_all vices/defects himself to_renounce declares. Cataract. Window, clouds namely, which are open, as therefore/from_there unaccustomed and elders rain they_would_be_poured. Cataract indeed/however properly are doors Of_the_Nile, but wastedve for to_all windows are_placed. RAB. From/About box usually I_am_looking_for whether such_a_great_deal capacitate, how_much described, animals everything which entered are_said, and food their to_carry could? That elbow geometer pays Origen, asserting not/no in_vain said to_be Moses in/into/on all wisdom Of_Egyptians to_have_been educated, who/which geometry they_loved, and cubit/elbow geometer how_much six ours to_contain.
