608:1
Ι bid. — Percusserunt maxillam meam, satiati sunt poenis meis. 15. Maxilla Ecclesiae sancti praedicatores.—Maxilla quippe Ecclesiae sancti praedicatores sunt, sicut sub Judaeae specie per Jeremiam dicitur: Plorans ploravit in nocte, et lacrymae ejus in maxillis ejus ( Thren. i, 2), quia in adversitatibus Ecclesiae illi amplius plangunt l qui vitam carnalium confringere 423 praedicando noverunt. Per ipsos quippe sancta Ecclesia iniquos a vitiis conterit, et quasi glutiens in sua membra con- vertit. Unde ipsi quoque k primo praedicatori ve(??)ut maxillae Ecclesiae dicitur: Occide et manduca ( Act. x, 13). ( Vet. VIII ).
同上。——他們打我的腮頰，以加給我的刑罰為滿足。十五、教會的腮頰乃是聖潔的宣講者。——教會的腮頰確實是聖潔的宣講者，正如藉耶利米以猶大的形象所說：她夜間痛哭，淚流滿腮（哀一2），因為在教會的患難中，那些懂得藉宣講擊碎屬肉體者生命之人越發哀哭。因為聖教會藉這些人把不義之人從其惡習中磨碎，彷彿吞下，將他們轉化為自己的肢體。因此對那首位宣講者，彷彿對教會的腮頰，也說：宰了吃吧（徒十13）。
Ibid. — They have struck my cheek, they are sated with my punishments. 15. The cheek of the Church are the holy preachers. — The cheek of the Church, indeed, are the holy preachers, as is said under the figure of Judea through Jeremiah: Weeping she has wept in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks (Lam. 1:2), because in the adversities of the Church those lament the more who have known how to crush the life of the carnal by preaching. For through these holy Church grinds down the iniquitous from their vices, and as it were, swallowing, converts them into her own members. Whence to the first preacher too, as it were to the cheek of the Church, it is said: Kill and eat (Acts 10:13).
608:2
Hinc est etiam quod Samson maxil- lam asini tenuit, et hostes peremit ( Judic. xv, 16), quia Redemptor noster simplicitatem atque patien- tiam praedicantium suae manu virtutis tenens, a vitiis suis carnales interfecit. Et maxilla in terram pro- jecta postmodum aquas fudit, quia data morti praedi- catorum corpora magna populis monstravere mira- cula. Maxillam ergo Ecclesiae perversi feriunt, cum bonos praedicatores insequuntur. Et quia tunc re- probi grande se aliquid fecisse aestimant cum vitam praedicatorum necant, post percussionem maxillae apte subjungitur: — I bid. — Satiati sunt poenis meis. Ilia quippe eos poena satiat quae mentem Ecclesiae praecipue castigat. Sequitur:
因此參孫也拿驢腮骨殺了他的仇敵（士十五16），因為我們的救贖主以祂大能的手握住宣講者的單純與忍耐，把屬肉體之人從其惡習中殺滅。那腮骨拋在地上後湧出水來，因為那些被交於死亡的宣講者的身體，向眾民顯出大神蹟。因此邪僻之人逼迫善良的宣講者時，就是擊打教會的腮頰。且因被棄絕之人殺害宣講者的生命時，便自以為做了何等大事，所以在擊打腮頰之後恰當地補充說：——同上——他們以加給我的刑罰為滿足。因為那尤其懲治教會心思的刑罰，使他們滿足。接著說：
Hence it is also that Samson held the jawbone of an ass and slew his enemies (Judg. 15:16), because our Redeemer, holding by the hand of His power the simplicity and patience of His preachers, slew the carnal from their vices. And the jawbone, cast upon the ground, afterward poured forth waters, because the bodies of the preachers given over to death displayed great miracles to the peoples. The perverse therefore strike the cheek of the Church when they persecute the good preachers. And because then the reprobate reckon that they have done some great thing when they slay the life of the preachers, after the striking of the cheek it is fittingly added: — Ibid. — They are sated with my punishments. For that punishment sates them which especially chastises the mind of the Church. There follows:
