272:1
V ers. 5. Cujus messem famelicus comedet, et ipsum rapiet armatus. 5. Gentiles messem eorum, id est, sacra eloquia, comedunt, ac divitias rapiunt. Hujus enim stulti messis fuerat a sacri seges eloquii. Quaedam namque spicarum grana, sunt verba prophetarum, quae stul- tus habuit, sed non comedit, quia Judaicus populus legem quidem verbo tenus tenuit, sed per fatuitatis fastidium ab ejus intellectu jejunavit. Hujus vero stulti messem famelicus comedit, quia nimirum gen- tilis populus verba legis intelligendo edit, ad quae plebs Judaica sine intellectu laboravit. Hos famelicos fidei Dominus praevidit, cum per evangelistam dixit:
第5節:「他的莊稼被飢餓的人吃盡,帶兵器的人搶奪他本身。」第五,外邦人吃他們的莊稼,就是聖言,並搶奪他們的財富。因為這愚昧人的莊稼曾是聖言的禾稼。麥穗中的某些子粒,就是先知的話語;愚昧人擁有這些,卻不吃,因為猶太百姓固然在字句上持守律法,卻因其愚昧的厭棄而對律法的理解禁食。但那飢餓的人吃這愚昧人的莊稼,因為外邦百姓確實藉著理解而吃律法的話語,而猶太群眾勞碌於律法卻不得其解。這些飢渴慕義的人,主早已預見,因祂藉福音書作者說:
Verse 5. 'Whose harvest the hungry shall eat, and the armed man shall snatch him away.' 5. The Gentiles eat their harvest, that is, the sacred oracles, and snatch away their riches. For the harvest of this fool had been the crop of the sacred oracle. For certain grains of the ears are the words of the prophets, which the fool had, but did not eat, because the Jewish people indeed held the Law in word, but by the loathing of its folly it fasted from the understanding of it. But the hungry man eats the harvest of this fool, because assuredly the Gentile people eats the words of the Law by understanding them, at which the Jewish crowd labored without understanding. These hungry ones for the faith the Lord foresaw, when He said through the evangelist:
272:2
Beati qui esuriunt et sitiunt justitiam, quoniam ipsi saturabuntur ( Matth. v, 6). De his famelicis Anna prophetante dicitur: Repleti prius, pro panibus se locaverunt, et famelici saturati sunt ( I Reg. ii, 5). Sed quia messem perdidit, recte subjungitur qualiter ipse etiam stultus perit, cum dicitur: Et ipsum ra- piet armatus. Antiquus hostis Judaicum populum ar- matus rapuit, quia in eo vitam fidei fraudulentae suggestionis jaculis exstinxit, ut unde se inhaerere Deo crederet, inde ejus ordinationi repugnaret. Quod profecto discipulos Veritas praemonet, dicens: Venit hora ut omnis qui interficit vos arbitretur obsequium se praestare Deo ( Joann. xvi, 2). Sequitur:
「飢渴慕義的人有福了,因為他們必得飽足」(馬太福音五章6節)。論到這些飢餓的人,哈拿豫言說:「素來飽足的,反倒為食物作雇工;飢餓的,反倒得飽」(撒母耳記上二章5節)。但因他失去了莊稼,經上便正當地補充說明這愚昧人自己如何也滅亡,說:「帶兵器的人搶奪他本身。」那古蛇的仇敵,全副武裝,搶奪了猶太百姓,因為牠在其中用詭詐暗示的鏢槍撲滅了信德的生命,以致他們自以為緊緊倚附神,卻反倒抗拒神的定規。真理早已警戒門徒論此事說:「時候將到,凡殺你們的,就以為是事奉神」(約翰福音十六章2節)。接著說:
'Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled' (Matthew v, 6). Of these hungry ones it is said by the prophecy of Anna: 'They that were full have hired out themselves for bread, and the hungry are filled' (1 Samuel ii, 5). But because he lost the harvest, it is rightly subjoined how the fool himself also perishes, when it is said: 'And the armed man shall snatch him away.' The ancient enemy, armed, snatched away the Jewish people, because in it he extinguished the life of faith by the darts of fraudulent suggestion, so that whence it believed itself to cleave to God, thence it fought against His ordinance. This the Truth forewarns His disciples of, saying: 'The hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service' (John xvi, 2). There follows:
