1201:1
fIRS. ô. — Quis conclusit ostiis mare, quando erum pebat, quasi de vulva procedens? 36. Sœculum contra sanctos sœviensS a Deo conclu sum. Humiliatis terrenis princivibus, per eos Dominus Ecclesiam supra mundi culmen evexit. — Quid enim, mare nisi sæculum, quid vulvam, nisi conceptom carnalis cogitationis accipimus? Hoc nim IMO vulvæ numine btcull. et malitiosa carnalium cogitatio designatur. Quæ vułva non ad proferendam prolem concipit substantiam corporis, sed ad expłendam nequitiam causam doloris. De hac vulva cordis in rquoram alisdicitur: Concepit dolorem, et peperit iniquitatem (Psal. VII, 15). Per hanc vulvam pravi concipiunt, cum mala cogitant.
VERSE 8. — 'Who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth as issuing from the womb?' 36. The world, raging against the saints, was shut up by God. Earthly princes being humbled, the Lord through them raised the Church above the summit of the world. — For what do we take the sea to be but the world, what the womb but the conception of carnal thought? For by this name of womb the malicious thought of carnal men is designated. Which womb conceives not the substance of a body to bring forth offspring, but a cause of grief to fulfill iniquity. Concerning this womb of the heart it is said elsewhere: 'He hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth iniquity' (Ps. 7:15 [14]). By this womb the wicked conceive, when they think evil things.
第八節。—「海水衝出，如出胎胞，那時誰將它關閉呢？」三六、那向眾聖徒逞凶的世界被神關閉。地上的君王既被降卑，主便藉他們把教會高舉在世界的頂峰之上。—因為我們把海當作甚麼呢，若不是世界；把胎胞當作甚麼呢，若不是肉體思念的懷胎？因為以胎胞這名，就指明肉體之人惡毒的思念。這胎胞所懷的，不是身體的實質好生產後裔，乃是憂苦的緣由好成就罪孽。論到這心的胎胞，別處說：「他懷的是毒害，生的是罪孽。」（詩七15〔14〕）惡人藉這胎胞懷胎，就是當他們思念惡事之時。
1201:2
Per hanc vulvam parihnl, tam mala quæ cogitaverintoperantur. Erumpebat ergo mare quasi de vulva procedens, " cum minarum sæcularium fluctus de Carnalis cogitatiOnis iniquitate concepti, in sanctæ Ecclesiæ interitum sævirent. Sed auctore Déo, ostiis hoc mare conclusum est, quia contra tumores persequentium sancti viri quasi quaedam ostia bppositi sunt, ut eorum miraculis atque reverentia iræ persequentium frangerentur. Humiliatis qulppe Dominus tetrenis principibus, per eos sanctam Ecclesiam supra mundi culmen evexit, et sævientis maris impetus, crecta ejusdem Ecclesiæ potestate, coercuit. Sed huic sævienti mari quid Dominus fecerit, audiamus. Sequitur:
By this womb they bring forth, when they work out the evil things which they have conceived. The sea, therefore, was breaking forth as issuing from the womb, when the waves of secular threats, conceived from the iniquity of carnal thought, raged unto the destruction of the holy Church. But, God being the Author, this sea was shut up with doors, because against the swellings of the persecutors holy men were set as it were certain doors, that by their miracles and reverence the wraths of the persecutors might be broken. For the Lord, earthly princes being humbled, through them raised the holy Church above the summit of the world, and, the power of that same Church being erected, restrained the assaults of the raging sea. But let us hear what the Lord did to this raging sea. There follows:
他們藉這胎胞生產，就是當他們把所懷的惡事作出來之時。所以，海水衝出，如出胎胞，就是當那從肉體思念之罪孽所懷的世俗威嚇之波浪，逞凶要毀滅聖教會之時。但以神為作者，這海便被門關閉，因為神把聖徒立為抵擋逼迫者膨脹之勢的門，好叫逼迫者的忿怒藉他們的神蹟與可敬被折服。因為主既使地上的君王降卑，便藉他們把聖教會高舉在世界的頂峰之上，並藉這同一教會權能的挺立，抑制了狂暴之海的衝擊。但讓我們聽主向這狂暴之海作了甚麼。接著說：
