451:1

I bid. — Reversusque mirabiliter me crucias. 88. Mentis a Deo desertae obduratio, visitatae com- punctio. — Cum ab auctore relinquimur, nec ipsa ul- latenus destitutionis nostrae damna sentimus. Quo enim longe nos conditor deserit, eo mens nostra in- sensibilius obdurescit, nulla quae Dei sunt diligit, ne- quaquam superna concupiscit; et quia amoris intimi calorem non habet, frigida deorsum jacet, ac mise- rando modo fit quotidie tanto securior, quanto pe- jor; cumque unde sit lapsa non meminit, et (??) sup- plicia secutura non metuit, quantum lugenda sit ne- scit.

同一節。——「你回轉過來，就奇妙地折磨我。」八十八。被神離棄之心的剛硬，蒙眷顧之心的痛悔。——當我們被造我們的主所撇棄時，我們絲毫感覺不到我們窮乏的損失本身。因為造物主離棄我們愈遠，我們的心就愈發不知不覺地剛硬，不愛任何屬神之事，絕不貪慕天上之事；並且因為它沒有內心之愛的溫暖，就冷冷地伏在下面，並以可悲的方式日復一日地，愈是敗壞便愈覺穩妥；當它既不記得自己從何處墮落，又不懼怕隨後而來的刑罰時，就不知道自己是何等當受哀哭的了。

Same verse. — And returning, Thou dost wondrously torment me. 88. The hardening of a mind forsaken by God, the compunction of a mind visited. — When we are abandoned by our Author, we do not in any way feel the very losses of our destitution. For the further the Creator forsakes us, the more insensibly does our mind grow hard, loving nothing that is God's, in no way coveting the things above; and because it has not the warmth of inmost love, it lies cold below, and in a wretched manner it becomes daily the more secure the worse it is; and while it remembers not whence it has fallen, and fears not the punishments to follow, it knows not how much it is to be lamented.

451:2

At si afflatu sancti Spiritus tangitur, ad consi- derationem protinus suae perditionis evigilat, in coelestium inquisitione se excutit, amoris summi aestibus inardescit, quae se circumprimunt damna con- siderat, et plorat proficiens quae prius laeta f peribat. Bene ergo conditori dicitur: Reversusque mirabiliter me crucias, quia omnipotens Deus unde mentem nostram visitans ad amorem suum erigit, inde hanc per lacrymas gravius affligit. Ac si aperte dicat: Re- linquendo me nequaquam afficis, quia insensibilem reddis; sed cum reverteris crucias, quia dum te in- sinuas mihi me quam sim lugendus demonstras.

但它若被聖靈的吹拂所觸動，就隨即甦醒，思想自身的敗亡，在尋求屬天之事上振奮起來，被至高之愛的熱焰燃燒，思想那圍困它的損失，並且既有長進，就為那些從前它歡然、卻正在其中沉淪之事哀哭。因此對造物主說得對：「你回轉過來，就奇妙地折磨我」；因為全能的神從那眷顧我們的心、把它提升歸向祂之愛的同一之處，從那裡也藉眼淚更沉重地折磨它。彷彿明明地說：你離棄我時絲毫不折磨我，因為你使我麻木無感；但你回轉時卻折磨我，因為你把自己顯給我時，就向我顯明我是何等當受哀哭。

But if it is touched by the breath of the Holy Spirit, it straightway awakes to the consideration of its own perdition, it rouses itself in the search for heavenly things, it burns with the heats of the highest love, it considers the losses that press it round, and, making progress, it weeps for the things over which, being formerly glad, it was perishing. Rightly therefore is it said to the Creator: And returning, Thou dost wondrously torment me; because almighty God, from the very place whence, visiting our mind, He lifts it up to His love, from thence He afflicts it more grievously through tears. As if he plainly said: By forsaking me Thou dost in no way afflict me, because Thou renderest me insensible; but when Thou returnest Thou tormentest me, because while Thou insinuatest Thyself to me, Thou showest me how much I am to be lamented.

451:3

Unde et nequaquam se poenaliter, sed mirabiliter asserit cruciari, quia dum per fletum mens ad summa rapi- tur, compunctionis suae poenam gaudens miratur; et libet affici, quia afflictione sua se conspicit ad alta sublevari. [ Vet. XLIII.] Saepe autem cum nos a san- cti desiderii exercitatione torpescere superna pietas cernit, exempla se sequentium nostris obtutibus ob- jicit, ut mens per otium remissa, quo in aliis vigilan- tium provectus considerat, eo in se g pigritudinem torporis erubescat. Unde et recte subjungitur:

因此他聲明自己受折磨絕非作為刑罰，而是奇妙地受折磨，因為當心靈藉哀哭被提到高處時，它歡然驚奇於自身痛悔的痛苦；並且它喜歡受折磨，因為它看見自己正藉那折磨被提升到高處。然而，當至上的慈愛看見我們在聖潔渴慕的操練上變得遲鈍時，往往將那些追隨它之人的榜樣擺在我們眼前，好使那因懶惰而鬆懈的心，在別人身上看見警醒之人的長進，便為自己裡面遲鈍的怠惰而羞愧。因此下文恰當地補充說：

Whence he declares that he is tormented in no way penally, but wondrously, because while through weeping the mind is caught up to the heights, it marvels with joy at the punishment of its own compunction; and it delights to be afflicted, because it beholds itself lifted up to the heights by its very affliction. Often, however, when supernal love perceives us growing torpid in the exercise of holy desire, it sets before our eyes the examples of those who follow it, so that the mind, relaxed through idleness, may blush at the sluggishness of its own torpor in itself, seeing in others the progress of the watchful. Whence it is rightly added:
