480:1
V ers. 19. — Requiesces, et non erit qui te ex- terreat. 39. Aeternis inhians nihil timet a mundo. — Quis- quis praesentem gloriam quaerit, profecto despectum metuit. Qui semper ad lucra inhiat, semper videlicet damna formidat. Cujus enim perceptione reficitur, ejus rei procul dubio et amissione sauciatur; et quo obligatus mutabilibus ac perituris inhaeret, eo longe in infimis ab arce securitatis jacet. At contra quisquis in solo aeternitatis desiderio figitur, nec prosperitate attollitur, nec adversitate quassatur; dum nil habet in mundo quod appetat, nihil est quod de mundo peni- m(??)scat. Hinc etenim Salomon ait: Non contristabit justum quidquid ei acciderit ( Prov. xii, 21).
第十九節——「你必安歇，無人使你驚恐。」三十九、渴慕永恆的人不懼怕世上任何事物。——凡尋求眼前榮耀的，必然畏懼被藐視。凡常渴望利益的，顯然常懼怕虧損。因為他因得著一物而歡快，也因失去它而無疑受傷；並且他愈受制於可變、必朽之物而依附之，便愈在至卑之處墜落，遠離安穩的堡壘。反之，凡專一定意於永恆之渴慕的，既不因興盛而被高舉，也不因逆境而動搖；當他在世上一無所慕時，便無所懼於失去世上之物。因此所羅門說：「義人不遭災害」（箴十二21）。
Ver. 19. — You shall rest, and there shall be none to terrify you. 39. He who yearns for the eternal fears nothing from the world. — Whosoever seeks present glory assuredly dreads contempt. He who ever pants after gain plainly ever dreads loss. For by the acquiring of a thing he is refreshed; by its loss without doubt he is wounded; and the more, bound to changeable and perishable things, he clings to them, the further down he lies in the lowest places, far from the citadel of security. But on the contrary, whosoever is fixed in the sole desire of eternity is neither lifted up by prosperity nor shaken by adversity; while he has nothing in the world that he desires, there is nothing that he dreads to lose from the world. For hence Solomon says: Nothing that befalls him shall sadden the just man (Prov. xii, 21).
480:2
Hinc ite- rum dicit: Justus quasi leo confidens absque terrore erit ( Prov. xxviii, 1). Bene itaque nunc dicitur: Re- quiesces, et non erit qui te exterreat ( Job. xi, 19), quia tanto quisque a se plenius pavorem qui ex mundo est abjicit, quanto in semetipso verius mundi concu- piscentiam vincit. An non 357 absque terrore g Paulus in corde requieverat, qui dicebat: Certus sum enim quia neque mors, neque vita, neque angeli, neque principatus, neque instantia, neque futura, neque forti- tudo, neque altitudo, neque profundum, neque creatura alia poterit nos separare a charitate Dei, quae est in Christo Jesu Domino nostro ( Rom. viii, 38)?
故此他又說：「義人膽壯像獅子，毫無懼怕」（箴二十八1）。所以如今說得好：「你必安歇，無人使你驚恐」（伯十一19）；因為人愈真實地在自身內勝過世界的私慾，便愈完全地將那從世界而來的驚恐從自己身上拋棄。難道保羅心中不是毫無驚恐地安息麼？他說：「因為我深信無論是死，是生，是天使，是掌權的，是現在的事，是將來的事，是能力，是高處的，是低處的，是別的受造之物，都不能叫我們與神的愛隔絕；這愛是在我們的主基督耶穌裏的」（羅八38）。
Hence again he says: The just man, confident as a lion, shall be without terror (Prov. xxviii, 1). Well, therefore, is it now said: You shall rest, and there shall be none to terrify you (Job xi, 19); because everyone the more fully casts away from himself the dread that comes from the world, the more truly he conquers within himself the concupiscence of the world. Or had not Paul rested in heart without terror, who said: For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor might, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Rom. viii, 38)?
480:3
Cujus videlicet fortitudo cbaritatis, ‘vera sanctae Ecclesiae voce laudatur, cum b per canticorum Canticum di- citur ( Cant. viii, 6): Valida est ut mors dilectio ( De pcenit., dist. 2, cap. 4). Virtuti etenim mortis dilectio comparatur, quia nimirum mentem, quam semel ce- perit, a a delectatione mundi funditus occidit; et tanto hanc valentius in auctoritatem erigit, quanto et insensibilem contra terrores reddit. [ Vet. XXIII.] Sed inter haec sciendum est quod pravi cum recta praedicant, valde difficile est ut ad hoc quod taciti ambiunt non erumpant. Unde et Sophar protinus ad- jungit:
這愛的力量實在被聖教會以真實之聲所稱頌，正如藉雅歌所說（歌八6）：「愛情如死之堅強。」因為愛被比作死亡的權能，因為它就世界的享樂而言，將它一旦攫取的心靈徹底殺死；並且它愈使那心靈對驚恐無所感覺，便愈有力地將它提升至權能之中。但在這些事之中當知道：當邪惡之人宣講正道時，甚難免他們不迸發出所暗中貪圖之事。故此瑣法隨即補充說：
The strength of whose charity is indeed praised in the true voice of holy Church, when it is said through the Song of Songs (Cant. viii, 6): Love is strong as death. For love is compared to the power of death, because it utterly slays, as regards delight in the world, the mind that once it has seized; and it lifts this up into authority the more forcefully, the more it renders it insensible against terrors. But amid these things it must be known that when the depraved preach right things, it is very difficult that they do not break forth toward that which they silently covet. Whence Sophar at once adds:
