229:1
Castisssimum Mariæ Virginia uterum, sponsæ Virginis clausum ventris cubiculum, signatum pudori cœnaculum merilo plenissime collaudarem, etc. Desinit: Gaude itaque, JoseplL, nimiumque gaude virginitati Mariæ in natavitate Redemptoris et in apparitione Salvatoris; et ita Joseph separatus est a concubitu uxoris, ut pater dicotur Salvatoris, etc. Redditum habemus ex cod. reg. biblioth. 3786, confirmantibus, ut fertur, pluribus aliis manuscriptis codicibus. Maurini iD appendice serm. sancti Augustini edit. Paris. pag. 323 collocarunt. Nos penitus rejicimus, et nobiscum sentiet quilibet vel leviter sanctum Maximum Taurinensem gustaverit.
'The most chaste womb of the Virgin Mary, the sealed chamber of the Virgin bride's body, the upper room marked with modesty, I would most fully praise as it deserves,' etc. It ends: 'Rejoice therefore, Joseph, and rejoice exceedingly in the virginity of Mary at the birth of the Redeemer and at the manifestation of the Savior; and thus Joseph was separated from union with his wife, that he might be called the father of the Savior,' etc. We have it restored from the royal library codex 3786, confirmed, as is reported, by several other manuscript codices. The Maurists placed it in the appendix of Saint Augustine's sermons, Paris edition, page 323. We utterly reject it, and anyone who has even lightly tasted Saint Maximus of Turin will agree with us.
「童貞瑪利亞至潔的胎，那童貞新婦封閉的腹之內室，那以貞德為印記的樓房，我本當按其所配盡情頌讚」等等。結尾為：「約瑟啊，你當歡欣，並在救贖主誕生、救主顯現時，因瑪利亞的童貞而大大歡欣；約瑟這樣與妻子的同房分開，好使他得稱為救主的父」等等。我們是從王室圖書館 3786 號抄本得以復原此篇，據稱另有若干手抄本為佐。摩爾派將它置於聖奧古斯丁講道的附錄，巴黎版第三二三頁。我們則全然摒棄它；凡稍稍品嚐過聖都靈馬克西姆斯文風的人，都會與我們同感。
