131:1
Cum caro (Sap. ix, 15), necdum mortis norna cibus defaecata, aggravet sensum multa cogitantem, et impediat visum pauca cernentem, interlucet tamen in aliquibus geslis dignitas futurorum, et secretorum immortalium splendor etiam mortalibus ocurlis rara revelatione subradiat. Sed hoc illis tantum, quos sola caro, non etiam carnalitas tenet, et cordibus mundos mundana cohabitatione non polluit. Sicut præstabatur quondam vati legifero caeleste colioquium; et eo usque divinæ gloriae quodam intuitu donabatur, donec quiddam in levi fronte cornutum, non asperitas videretur produxisse, sed claritas.
肉體（智慧書九15）——這尚未按死亡定規煉淨的食物——雖使思想多事的心思沉重，並攔阻只能看見少許之人的視覺，然而在某些事上，將來之事的尊榮仍透光而出，不朽奧秘的光輝也藉稀有的啟示，甚至向必死的眼目微微照耀。但這只臨到那些單被肉體、而非被肉慾所轄制的人，就是雖與世同居卻不被玷污、心裡潔淨的人。正如天上的談話從前賜給那頒律法的先知；他蒙賜以神榮耀的某種觀看，以致他平滑額上那彷彿長角之物，看來並非嚴厲所生，乃是光輝所出。
Since the flesh (Wis. 9:15) — as food not yet purged by the appointed measure of death — weighs down the mind that ponders many things, and hinders the sight that discerns but few, yet the dignity of things to come shines through in certain deeds, and the splendor of immortal secrets gleams even upon mortal eyes by rare revelation. But this only for those whom flesh alone, and not carnality, holds, and whom worldly cohabitation does not defile, being clean of heart. Just as heavenly converse was once granted to the law-giving prophet; and he was so far endowed with a certain vision of divine glory, that something horned upon his smooth brow seemed to have been brought forth not by harshness, but by brightness.
