570:1
V ers. 10.— Et senes et antiqui sunt in nobis multo vetustiores quam patres tui. 33. De antiquorum patrum magisterio et consensu falso sibi blandiuntur.—Quia omnes haeretici a sancta universali Ecclesia sunt egressi, testatur Joannes, qui ait: Ex nobis prodierunt, sed non erant ex nobis ( I Juan. ii, 19). Sed ut ea quae asserunt commendare stultis mentibus hominum quasi de antiquitate pos- sint, antiquos patres se habere testantur, atque ipsos doctores Ecclesiae suae professionis magistros dicunt.
第十節：「我們中間有白髮的、有年高的，比你父親還老得多。」33. 他們以古代教父的教導與贊同來虛妄地自我阿諛。——因為一切異端都是從聖而普世的教會出去的，約翰為此作見證說：「他們從我們中間出去，卻不是屬我們的。」（約翰一書二19）但為要把他們所主張的，彷彿憑藉古老而向人的愚妄心思推薦，他們便自稱擁有古代的教父，並稱教會的那些教師為自己所信之道的宗師。
Verse 10: 'Both the aged and the ancient are among us, much older than your fathers.' 33. They falsely flatter themselves with the teaching and consent of the ancient fathers. — Because all heretics have gone out from the holy universal Church, John bears witness, who says: 'They went out from us, but they were not of us' (1 John 2:19). But that they may be able to commend the things they assert to the foolish minds of men as though from antiquity, they profess to have ancient fathers, and they call the very doctors of the Church the masters of their own profession.
570:2
Cumque praesentes praedicatores despiciunt de anti- quorum Patrum magisterio falsa praesumptione glo- riantur, ut ea quae ipsi dicunt, etiam antiquos patres tenuisse fateantur, quatenus hoc quod rectitudine astruere non valent quasi ex illorum auctoritate con- firment. Quia vero scriptum est: Quem diligit Domi- nus castigat, flagellat autem omnem filium quem recipit ( Hebr. xii, 6). Saepe sancta Ecclesia multis in hac vita adversitatibus laborat, et reproborum vita tanto sine fiagello dimittitur, quanto ad nulla praemia servatur. Sed afflictiones sanctae Ecclesiae videntes haeretici, eam despiciunt, et tot illam flagellis atteri ex pravae h professionis merito suspicantur.
他們一面鄙視當今的傳道者，一面以虛假的臆斷在古代教父的教導上誇口，好使他們自己所說的，也可說成是古代教父所持守的，以致把他們憑正道無法建立的，彷彿憑那些人的權威加以確認。但因為經上記著：「主所愛的祂必管教，又鞭打凡所收納的兒子。」（希伯來書十二6）聖教會在今生常在諸多逆境中勞苦，而被棄者的生活越是不為任何賞賜而存留，就越是不受鞭打。但異端看見聖教會的苦難，便鄙視她，猜疑她因邪惡信仰之報應而遭受如此多的鞭撻磨損。
And while they despise present preachers, they glory with false presumption in the teaching of the ancient Fathers, so that the things which they themselves say they may claim the ancient fathers also held, in order that what they cannot establish by rectitude they may confirm as though from the authority of those men. But because it is written: 'Whom the Lord loves He chastens, and He scourges every son whom He receives' (Heb. 12:6), often holy Church labours under many adversities in this life, and the life of the reprobate is left so much the more without scourge, the less it is reserved for any rewards. But the heretics, seeing the afflictions of holy Church, despise her, and suspect that she is worn down by so many scourges through the merit of a wicked profession.
