11:1
Satis licet jam poenarum dederit sera pœnitudo, tamen ad diem festum ante alios nobis colendum, ne vicario quidem famulatu adesse merui. Qui devotionem non ostendi, vel satisfactionem deferre curavi. Ad quod vere ut confido ipso sum, beate et reverenlissime dotnine, spirilu visitante commonitus. Nam in ipsa sancta nocte, in visione nescio quid manibus meis hxserat, quod consedens juxta me fulgentissima, sed inusitato colore rubea columba vellebat.
Although a tardy repentance has already paid penalty enough, yet I have not deserved to be present, even by a vicarious service, at the feast-day to be honoured by us before others. I who did not show my devotion, at least took care to render satisfaction. To which, as I truly trust, I was admonished, blessed and most reverend lord, by that very Spirit visiting me. For on that very holy night, in a vision, I know not what had clung to my hands, which, sitting beside me, a most resplendent dove, but of an unwonted colour, ruddy, was plucking away.
雖然遲來的悔改已償還了足夠的懲罰，然而我卻未配得——甚或藉代理的服事——出席那我們當比別的節日更當尊崇的節期。我既未曾顯出我的虔敬，至少留心要獻上補贖。至為蒙福、極其可敬的主啊，我真確相信，我是蒙那眷顧我的聖靈親自提醒的。因為就在那至聖之夜，在異象中，有我不知何物黏在我手上，一隻極其光耀、卻帶著罕見顏色、赤紅的鴿子，坐在我旁邊，正將它啄去。
11:2
Cumque ex pergefactus, quotidianum quidein manuum mearum horrorem recognoscerent, sed purgari me immerito nihilominus meminissem, dum ipsum ambiguum moestus mecum atque auxius volvo, repente quasi stimulo percussus, illico sum reliquati fenoris recordatus. Jam quæ me hinc confusio, qu:eve presserit amaritudo, pietas sancta Perpendit. Aliquatenus tamen hac spe solatus sum, quod ignoscat quae commonere dignata est, ut miserto mihi non omnis sancti obsequii opportunitas fraudaretur. Unum tantum mixta debitis commemorationis ejus officiis supplicatio deposcit, ut hanc quoque indulgentiæ suae partem sensibus vestrae, quæ in me plus jam justa est, imputationis inspiret.
And when, being awakened, I recognized the daily horror of my hands, but nonetheless remembered that I was being cleansed without merit, while sad and anxious I turned that very ambiguity over within me, suddenly, as if struck by a goad, I was straightway reminded of the remaining debt. Now what confusion, or what bitterness, has pressed me hence, holy piety weighs it. Yet I have been somewhat consoled by this hope, that she may forgive who deigned to admonish, so that, having pity on me, not all opportunity of holy homage was defrauded me. One thing only does supplication, mingled with the due offices of her commemoration, demand: that you would inspire this part also of her indulgence into the senses of your imputation, which is already more than just against me.
當我醒來，認出我雙手每日的可懼之狀，卻仍記得自己是無功而蒙潔淨，我便憂愁焦慮地在心中反覆思量那疑惑之事，忽然，如同被刺棒刺了一下，我立刻想起了那尚未償還的欠債。如今那使我因此受壓的困惑或苦楚，聖潔的虔敬自會衡量。然而我略得這盼望的安慰，就是那甘願提醒之人或許會赦免，好叫她憐憫我，使聖潔致敬的一切機會不至於全然被剝奪。惟有一事，是那與她紀念之當盡職事相摻的懇求所祈求的：願你也將她這一分寬容，注入你那已然對我過於嚴正之歸咎的心思之中。
