803:1
518 - I bid. — Et in sinumeo abscondi verba oris ejus. 44. Verba Dei in sinu abscondere, alia justorum sollicitudo. — In sinu etenim cordis verba oris ejus abscondimus, quanto mandata illius non transitorie, sed implenda opere audimus. Hinc est quod de ipsa matre Virgine scriptum est: Maria autem conservabat omnia verba haec, conferens in corde suo ( Luc. ii, 19). Quae nimirum verba, et cum ad operationem prodeunt, in sinu cordis abscon(??)a latent, si per hoc quod foris agitur intus agentis animus non elevatur. Nam cum conceptus sermo ad opus ducitur, si per hoc humana laus quaeritu(??) sermo Dei in sinu mentis procul dubio non occultatur.
518. Same verse. — And in my bosom I have hidden the words of His mouth. 44. To hide God's words in the bosom is another solicitude of the righteous. — In the bosom of the heart we hide the words of His mouth, in that we hear His commands not to pass away, but to be fulfilled in deed. Hence it is that of the Virgin Mother herself it is written: But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart (Luke 2:19). Which words, even when they come forth to operation, lie hidden in the bosom of the heart, if through that which is done outwardly the mind of the doer within be not lifted up. For when the conceived word is brought to work, if through this human praise is sought, the word of God is without doubt not hidden in the bosom of the mind.
五一八。同節。——「我把祂口中的話藏在我懷裡。」四十四、把神的話藏在懷中,乃義人另一樣的殷勤。——我們把祂口中的話藏在心懷中,就是我們聽祂的誡命不是要任其消逝,乃是要付諸行動去成就。因此論到童貞之母馬利亞本身,經上記著說:「馬利亞卻把這一切的話存在心裡,反覆思想」(路二19)。這些話,縱然發出而成為行動,仍藏在心懷中,只要行事之人的心不因外面所行之事而自高。因為當所懷的話被帶到行動中時,若藉此尋求人的稱讚,神的話就無疑不藏在心懷中了。
803:2
Sed nosse velim, beate vir, cur te (??)anta intentione examines, cur te tanta sollicitudine astringas? Sequitur:
But I would fain know, blessed man, why thou examinest thyself with such intention, why thou bindest thyself with such solicitude? There follows:
但蒙福的人哪,我很想知道,你為何以如此的專注審察自己?為何以如此的殷勤約束自己?接著說:
