1205:1
. VERS. 10. — Circumdedi illud terminis meis. 45. Qui termini huic mari positi. - Terminis en im suis Dominus hoc mare circumdat, quia cor nostrum adhuc corruptionis suae molestia et cura turbulentum sub mensura contemplationis hUDJiliat, ut licet plus appetat, ultra tamen quant sibi conceditur non ascendat. Vel eerte terminis suis Dominus hoc mare circumdat, quia cor nostrum tentationibus tumidum occultis donorum distributionibus mitigat, modo agens ne prava suggestio ad delectationem veniat, modo ne prava delectatio usque ad consensum prorumpat. Qni ergo illicitos motus cordis respicit, et ill quibusdam eos usque ad consensum venire proh:
第十節。──「我用我的界限環繞它。」45. 這海被設立了怎樣的界限。──因為主用祂自己的界限環繞這海，因為祂把我們的心──仍因自身敗壞的困擾和掛慮而動盪的心──降卑在默想的度量之下，使它雖渴望更多，卻不至上升超過所賜給它的。或者主確實用祂自己的界限環繞這海，因為祂藉著所賜恩賜的隱密分配，安撫我們那因試探而膨脹的心，時而作為，使敗壞的暗示不至達到喜悅，時而使敗壞的喜悅不至爆發以至於同意。所以，那看顧內心非法躁動、並在某些情況下禁止它們達到同意的主，
VERSE 10. -- 'I surrounded it with My bounds.' 45. What bounds are set to this sea. -- For the Lord surrounds this sea with His own bounds, because He humbles our heart, still turbulent with the trouble and care of its own corruption, under the measure of contemplation, so that though it desire more, yet it may not ascend beyond what is granted to it. Or certainly the Lord surrounds this sea with His own bounds, because He softens our heart, swollen with temptations, by the hidden distributions of His gifts, now acting that the depraved suggestion may not come to delight, now that the depraved delight may not burst forth even to consent. He therefore who beholds the unlawful motions of the heart, and forbids them in certain cases to come even to consent,
1205:2
bet, in quibusdam vero illos etiam a delectatione restringit, nimirum furenti mari terminos imponit, ut nequaquam in opere eleaL, sed intra sinum mentis tentationum submurmurans se unda collidat. Qua quia tunc valenter reslrinlitur, cum ei delectatione.Dei atque inspiratis virtutibus obviatur, tecte subjungi tur:
卻在某些情況下甚至約束它們遠離喜悅，這主確實為那咆哮之海設立界限，使它絕不至在行為上湧起，卻在心思的懷抱之內喃喃低語，把試探的浪潮拍擊自身。這海既然正是當它遇見神的喜樂和所激發的美德時才被有力地約束，所以恰當地加上：
but in certain cases restrains them even from delight, surely imposes bounds on the raging sea, so that it may in no way rise up in deed, but murmuring within the bosom of the mind may dash its wave of temptations against itself. Which, because it is then mightily restrained when it is met with the delight of God and with inspired virtues, is rightly subjoined:
