7.23 A labio usque ad labium. Quia a primo baptizato in nomine Jesu Christi usque ad ultimum qui in fine sæculi crediturus et baptizandus est, omnis fidelium chorus, eamdem veritatis viam ingredi, et communem debet sperare a Domino justitiæ coronam. Quinque cubitorum. Quia quidquid visu, auditu, gustu, odoratu, tactuque delinquimus, gratia Dei nobis per ablutionem vivifici fontis relaxat. Sed non sufficit præteritorum remissio peccatorum, nisi quis deinceps bonis studeat operibus; alioquin diabolus qui exierat de homine, si hunc a bonis operibus vacare viderit, multiplicius redit, et facit novissima illius pejora prioribus; unde subditur: Et resticula triginta cubitorum cingebat illud. Disciplina cœlestium præceptorum qua a voluptatibus religamur; unde: Funiculus triplex difficile rumpitur Eccl. 4., quia observatio mandatorum quæ in cordibus electorum fide, dilectione, spe supernæ retributionis firmata est, nullo potest obstaculo dissolvi. Resticula mare ambit, cum sacramentum baptismi quod accepimus, piis operibus munire studemus. Hæc triginta cubitorum est, quinquies enim seni triginta faciunt. Senario autem in quo Dominus hominem fecit, cum non esset, et refecit cum periisset, bona operatio nostra figuratur. Et sex per quinque multiplicantur, ut ad triginta perveniant, cum omnes corporis sensus divinis subjungantur imperiis. Aliter: ter deni faciunt triginta, et genus humanum post diluvium de progenie trium filiorum Nœ latitudinem totius orbis implevit. Sem quippe Asiam, Cham Africam, Japhet soboles Europam et insulas maris obtinuit. Et quia baptismi mysterium cum exsecutione operum et spe cœlestium cunctis erat nationibus ministrandum, resticula triginta cubitorum, mare in quo baptismus figurabatur, cingebat. Sed et hic dicendum, quod Dominus cum esset triginta annorum venit ad baptismum, qui quoniam suo baptismate quod tricenarius accepit baptismum nostrum consecravit, recte mare, quod nostrum baptismum figurabat, triginta cubitorum restis circumibat, ut significaretur dono illius qui baptismum sine peccato subiit, baptismum nobis in eum credentibus in remissionem peccatorum dedicari. Et sculptura. Cum prædictum sit, quod resticula triginta cubitorum mare circumierit, et nunc addatur quod sculptura hæc subter labium posita, decem cubitis ambierit, patet quia vas erat in modum phialæ expansum et diffusum, quod a triginta cubitis circuitus quos habebat in labio, usque ad decem est coactum. Sculptura autem histriata est quæ aliquas rerum historias imitatur. Unde per sculpturas histriatas quibus mare circumdatur exempla priorum temporum signantur, quæ nobis sunt intuenda, ut videamus quibus operibus ab initio sancti Deo placuerunt, qua obstinatione iniqui in sceleribus perduraverunt, quanta infelicitate reprobi perierunt. Quomodo in exordio nascentis sæculi Cain ob malitiam invidiæ damnatus, Abel justitiæ merito coronatus, Lamech ob adulterium et homicidium maledictus, Enoch ob gratiam pietatis ad paradisum reductus, Cham post diluvium ob impietatem detestatus, Sem et Japhet pro obsequio reverentiæ perpetua benedictione donati, Abraham fidei merito hæres divinæ promissionis effectus, cætera gentium multitudo pro infidelitate relicta. Adveniente quoque in carne Domino, Judæa pro perfidia repulsa, gentilitas gratia ad salutem reducta, et hujusmodi, quæ in utroque testamento solerter considerata studiosis prosunt. Ideo forsitan duo sunt ordines sculpturarum histriatarum in mari æneo, ut qui fonte baptismatis imbuti sunt, utriusque testamenti auscultent historias: ideo decem cubitorum erant in gyro, ut quoscunque in eisdem historiis deditos jussis cœlestibus obedire, et tota intentione ad superna præmia suspensos prospexerint, imitari contendant.

7.23 A labio until to labium. Because from primo baptizato in nomine Yesu of_Christ until to ultimum who in fine sæculi he_believesurus and baptizandus it_is, everyone fidelium chorus, eamdem veritatis road ingredi, and communem debet sperare from Master justitiæ coronam. Quinque cubitorum. Because quidquid visu, auditu, gustu, odoratu, tactuque delinquimus, gratia of_God us through ablutionem vivifici fontis relaxat. But not/no sufficit præteritorum remissio sinners, nisi who/any deinceps bonis studeat operibus; alioquin diabolus who exierat about homine, when/but_if this_one from bonis operibus vacare viderit, multiplicius redit, and facit novissima illius peyora prioribus; whence subditur: And resticula triginta cubitorum cingebat illud. Disciplina cœlestium præceptorum which from voluptatibus religamur; unde: Funiculus triplex difficile rumpitur Eccl. 4., because observatio mandatorum which in cordibus electorum fide, dilectione, spe supernæ retributionis firmata it_is, nullo potest obstaculo dissolvi. Resticula the_sea ambit, when/with sacramentum baptismi that accepimus, piis operibus munire studemus. This triginta cubitorum it_is, quinquies because seni triginta faciunt. Senario however in quo Master hominem fecit, when/with not/no esset, and refecit when/with periisset, good operatio nostra figuratur. And sex through five multiplicantur, as to triginta perveniant, when/with everyone corporis sensus divinis subyungantur imperiis. Aliter: ter deni faciunt triginta, and genus humanum after diluvium about progenie trium of_children Nœ latitudinem totius orbis implevit. Sem quippe Asiam, Cham Africam, Yaphet soboles Europam and insulas maris obtinuit. And because baptismi mysterium when/with exsecutione operum and spe cœlestium cunctis was nationibus ministrandum, resticula triginta cubitorum, the_sea in quo baptismus figurabatur, cingebat. But and this dicendum, that Master when/with was triginta annorum he_came to baptismum, who quoniam his_own baptismate that tricenarius accepit baptismum nostrum consecravit, recte mare, that nostrum baptismum figurabat, triginta cubitorum restis circumibat, as significaretur dono illius who baptismum without peccato subiit, baptismum us in him credentibus in remissionem sinners dedicari. And sculptura. Since prædictum let_it_be, that resticula triginta cubitorum the_sea circumierit, and now addatur that sculptura these_things subter labium posita, ten cubitis ambierit, patet because vas was in modum phialæ expansum and diffusum, that from triginta cubitis arounds which had in labio, until to ten it_is coactum. Sculptura however histriata it_is which aliquas rerum historias imitatur. Unde through sculpturas histriatas to_whom the_sea circumdatur exempla priorum temporum signantur, which us are intuenda, as videamus to_whom operibus away initio sancti Deo placuerunt, which obstinatione iniqui in sceleribus perduraverunt, quanta infelicitate reprobi they_perished. Quomodo in exordio nascentis sæculi Cain ob malitiam invidiæ damnatus, Abel justitiæ merito coronatus, Lamech ob adulterium and homicidium maledictus, Enoch ob gratiam pietatis to paradisum reductus, Cham after diluvium ob impietatem detestatus, Sem and Yaphet for obsequio reverentiæ perpetua benedictione donati, Abraham of_faith merito hæres divinæ promissionis effectus, cætera gentium multitudo for infidelitate relicta. Adveniente too in carne Master, Yudæa for perfidia repulsa, gentilitas gratia to salutem reducta, and huyusmodi, which in both testamento solerter considerata studiosis prosunt. Ideo forsitan two are ordines sculpturarum histriatarum in of_the_sea æneo, as who fonte baptismatis imbuti are, utriusque testamenti auscultent historias: ideo ten cubitorum they_were in gyro, as quoscunque in eisdem historiis he_gaveos yussis cœlestibus obedire, and tota intentione to superna præmia suspensos prospexerint, imitari contendant.
