11.2 Dum hæc. RAB. David graviter peccavit, etc., usque ad qui tam grave vulnus peccati, humilitatis confessione sanavit. Bethsabee. ISID. Puteus satietatis, vel puteus septimus. Ecclesia vero vocatur puteus aquæ vivæ, et huic puteo septenarii nomen numeri in Spiritus sancti significatione conjungitur, propter rationem Pentecostes, quo die de cœlo Spiritus sanctus missus est. Ad quadraginta novem, id est, septies septem unum additur, quoniam unitas commendatur. Unde: Solliciti servare unitatem spiritus in vinculo pacis Eph. 4.. Dono itaque spiritali, id est, septenario facta est Ecclesia puteus satietatis, quia factus est in ea fons aquæ salientis in vitam æternam, quam qui biberit non sitiet in æternum Joan. 4.. GREG. Adhuc carnis corruptibilis pondere gravati non valemus sic vivere, ut nulla nos possit culpæ delectatio pulsare. Sed aliud est nolentem tangi, et aliud consentientem. Sancti autem viri tanto vigilantiori se circumspectione custodiunt, quanto se pulsari sinistris motibus vel transitorie dedignantur, ut si quid forte cor illicitum concupisceret, pressus per disciplinæ magisterium oculus videre recusaret: sicut enim sæpe tentatio per oculos trahitur, sic nonnunquam concepta intrinsecus compellit sibi extrinsecus oculus deservire. Plerumque enim quælibet res innocenti mente respicitur, sed in ipso conspectu animus concupiscentiæ gladio confunditur. Non enim David Uriæ conjugem studiose respexit, quia concupiverat, sed potius concupivit, quia incaute respexit. Justo vero retributionis examine qui exteriori negligenter utitur, interiori oculo cæcatur. Sæpe autem jam intrinsecus concupiscentia dominatur, et illecebratus animus ad usus suos sensus corporeos famulari more tyrannidis exigit, suisque voluptatibus oculos servire compellit, et fenestras luminis aperit ad tenebras cæcitatis. Unde sancti viri cum sinistra delectatione pulsari se sentiunt, ipsa per quæ formæ species ad mentem ingreditur, disciplinæ magisterio lumina restringunt, ne pravæ cogitationi visio lenocinata famuletur: quæ si unquam subtiliter custodiri negligitur, cogitationis immunditia ad operationem transit. GREG. Sæpe res quælibet per historiam virtus est, per significationem culpa; sicut aliquando culpa in facto, in scripto prophetiæ virtus. Quis enim non detestetur quod David in solario deambulans Bethsabee Uriæ concupivit uxorem, quem tamen a prælio revertentem ire domum monet, pedes lavare? Qui protinus respondit dicens: Arca Dei sub pellibus, et ego in domo mea requiescam? Quem David ad mensam propriam suscepit eique epulas per quas mori debeat tradit. Tenet ergo David figuram ejus de quo scriptum est: In sole posuit tabernaculum suum Psal. 18.. Qui Bethsabee ad se jubet educere, id est legem litteræ carnali populo conjunctam spirituali sibi intellectu sociare. Bethsabee enim puteus septem dicitur, quia per cognationem legis infusione specialis gratiæ perfecta nobis sapientia ministratur. Urias vero Judaicum populum significat, qui interpretatur lux mea Dei: Judaicus enim populus qui de accepta legis scientia extollitur, quasi Dei luce gloriatur. Sed huic David uxorem abstulit sibique conjunxit, quia manu fortis Redemptor apparens, dum de se spiritualiter legem loqui innotuit, per hoc quod juxta litteram tenebantur, hanc a Judaico populo extraneam demonstravit, sibi conjunxit, quia se per illam prædicatum declaravit. Uriam tamen ad domum monet ire, et pedes lavare, quia incarnatus Judæis præcipit, ut ad conscientiam redeant, et sordes operum fletibus tergant; ut specialiter mandata legis intelligant, et post tantam duritiam præceptorum, fontem baptismi invenientes, ad aquam post laborem currant. Sed Urias, qui arcam Domini esse sub pellibus meminit, respondet, quia domum suam intrare non possit. Quod dicit: Ego mandata Dei in sacrificiis carnalibus video, et redire ad conscientiam per spiritualem intelligentiam non requiro. Quasi enim arcam Dei esse sub pellibus dicit, quia præcepta Dei non nisi exhibendo ministerium carnalis sacrificii intelligit. Hunc tamen redire domum nolentem David ad mensam vocat, quia cum Judæi ad conscientiam reverti contemnant, Christus tamen spiritualia prædicat dicens: Si crederetis Mosi, crederetis forsitan et mihi, de me enim ille scripsit Joan. 5.. Legem enim Judæus tenet, quæ ejus divinitatem loquitur, cui credere dedignatur. Unde et Urias ad Joab cum epistolis ex quibus occidi debeat, mittitur, quia Judæus legem portat, qua convincente moriatur. Cum enim mandata legis retinens implere nititur, ipse defert judicium unde damnetur. Quid ergo per factum istud David scelestius? Quid Uria mundius? Sed ad mysterium: quid David sanctius? Quid Uria infidelius? Quia ille per vitæ culpam prophetiæ signat innocentiam; et istæ per vitæ innocentiam in prophetia exprimit culpam. Virtus enim sacri eloquii sic transacta narrat, ut ventura exprimat: sic in facto rem approbat, ut in mysterio contradicat. Sic gesta damnat, ut hæc mystice gerenda suadeat.

11.2 Dum hæc. RAB. David graviter peccavit, etc., until to who tam grave vulnus peccati, humilitatis confessione sanavit. Bethsabee. ISID. Puteus satietatis, or puteus septimus. Ecclesia vero is_called puteus awhich vivæ, and huic puteo septenarii nomen numeri in Spiritus sancti significatione conyungitur, propter rationem Pentecostes, quo day about cœlo Spiritus sanctus missus it_is. Ad quadraginta novem, id it_is, septies seven one additur, quoniam unitas commendatur. Whence: Solliciti servare unitatem spiritus in vinculo pacis Eph. 4.. Dono therefore spiritali, id it_is, septenario facts it_is Ecclesia puteus satietatis, because factus it_is in ea fons awhich salientis in life eternal, how who biberit not/no sitiet in eternal Yoan. 4.. GREG. Adhuc carnis corruptibilis pondere gravati not/no valemus so vivere, as nulla we possit culpæ delectatio pulsare. But something_else it_is nolentem tangi, and something_else consentientem. Sancti however viri tanto vigilantiori se circumspectione custodiunt, quanto se pulsari sinistris motibus or transitorie dedignantur, as when/but_if quid forte heart illicitum concupisceret, pressus through disciplinæ magisterium oculus videre recusaret: like because sæpe tentatio through oculos trahitur, so nonnunquam concepta intrinsecus compellit sibi extrinsecus oculus deservire. Plerumque because quælibet res innocenti mente respicitur, but in ipso in_sight animus concupiscentiæ gladio confunditur. Non because David Uriæ conyugem studiose respexit, because concupiverat, but rather concupivit, because incaute respexit. Yusto vero retributionis examine who exteriori negligenter utitur, interiori oculo cæcatur. Sæpe however yam intrinsecus concupiscentia dominatur, and illecebratus animus to use suos sensus corporeos famulari more tyrannidis exigit, to_his_ownque voluptatibus oculos servire compellit, and the_windows luminis aperit to tenebras cæcitatis. Unde sancti viri when/with sinistra delectatione pulsari se sentiunt, herself through which formæ species to mentem ingreditur, disciplinæ magisterio lumina restringunt, not pravæ cogitationi visio lenocinata famuletur: which when/but_if unquam subtiliter custodiri negligitur, cogitationis immunditia to operationem transit. GREG. Sæpe res quælibet through historiam virtus it_is, through significationem culpa; like aliquando culpa in facto, in scripto prophetiæ virtus. Who because not/no detestetur that David in solario deambulans Bethsabee Uriæ concupivit wife, which tamen from prælio revertentem ire home monet, pedes lavare? Who protinus answered saying: Arca of_God under pellibus, and I in domo mea requiescam? Quem David to mensam propriam suscepit eique epulas through which mori debeat tradit. Tenet therefore David figuram his about quo scriptum it_is: In sole put tabernaculum suum Psal. 18.. Who Bethsabee to se yubet educere, id it_is legem litteræ carnali to_the_people conyunctam spirituali sibi intellectu sociare. Bethsabee because puteus septem it_is_said, because through cognationem legis infusione specialis gratiæ perfecta us sapientia ministratur. Urias vero Yudaicum the_people significat, who interpretatur lux mea of_God: Yudaicus because populus who about accepta legis scientia extollitur, as_if of_God luce gloriatur. But huic David wife abstook sibique conyunxit, because by_hand fortis Redemptor apparens, dum about se spiritualiter legem loqui innotuit, through this that next_to litteram tenebantur, hanc from Yudaico to_the_people extraneam demonstravit, sibi conyunxit, because se through illam prælet_him_sayum declaravit. Uriam tamen to home monet ire, and pedes lavare, because incarnatus Yudæis præcipit, as to conscientiam redeant, and sordes operum fletibus tergant; as specialiter mandata legis intelligant, and after tantam duritiam præceptorum, fontem baptismi invenientes, to waterm after laborem currant. But Urias, who the_box Master esse under pellibus meminit, respondet, because home his_own intrare not/no possit. That he_says: I mandata of_God in sacrificiis carnalibus video, and redire to conscientiam through spiritualem intelligentiam not/no requiro. Quasi because the_box of_God esse under pellibus dicit, because præcepta of_God not/no nisi exhibendo ministerium carnalis sacrificii intelligit. Hunc tamen redire home nolentem David to mensam vocat, because when/with Yudæi to conscientiam reverti contemnant, Christus tamen spiritualia prælet_him_say saying: When/But_if crederetis Mosi, crederetis forsitan and mihi, about me because ille scripsit Yoan. 5.. Legem because Yudæus holds, which his divinitatem loquitur, cui credere dedignatur. Unde and Urias to Yoab when/with epistolis from to_whom occidi debeat, mittitur, because Yudæus legem portat, which convincente moriatur. Since because mandata legis retinens implere nititur, exactly_that/himself defert yudicium whence damnetur. Quid therefore through done istud David scelestius? Quid Uria mundius? But to mysterium: quid David sanctius? Quid Uria infidelius? Because ille through of_life culpam prophetiæ signat innocentiam; and istæ through of_life innocentiam in prophetia exprimit culpam. Virtus because sacri eloquii so transacta narrat, as ventura exprimat: so in facto rem approbat, as in mysterio contralet_him_say. So gesta damnat, as these_things mystice gerenda suadeat.
