689:1
V ers. 17. — Halitum meum exhorruit uxor mea. 52. Christum exhorruit sponsa synagoga. — Quid uxor Domini nisi Synagoga accipitur, in legis foedere carnali ei intelligentia subjecta? Halitus vero ex carne est. Sed infidelis populus carnem Domini car- naliter intellexit, quia purum hunc hominem credi- dit. Halitum ergo ejus uxor exhorruit, quia Syna- goga eum quem videbat hominem Deum credere ex- pavit. Cumque ab ejus ore verba corporaliter audi- ret, in eo intelligere di vinitatis arcana 456 recusavit, et Creatorem esse non credidit quem creatura vidit. Carnis ergo halitum carnalis uxor exhorruit, quia, carnalibus sensibus dedita, incarnationis ejus myste- rium non agnovit. Sequitur:
第17節——「我的妻子厭惡我的氣息。」52. 會堂作為新婦，厭惡了基督。——主的妻子所指的是甚麼，若不是那在律法之約中以屬肉體的悟性順服祂的會堂呢？如今，氣息是出於肉體的。但不信的百姓以屬肉體的方式領會主的肉體，因它信祂不過是個人。因此，祂的妻子厭惡祂的氣息，因為會堂懼怕去相信她所見為人的那位乃是神。她從祂口中肉身地聽見話語時，卻拒絕在祂裡面領會神性的奧秘，也不信她所見為受造之物的那位乃是創造主。所以，屬肉體的妻子厭惡了肉體的氣息，因她既委身於屬肉體的感官，便不承認祂道成肉身的奧秘。接下去：
Verse 17. — 'My wife abhorred my breath.' 52. The synagogue, as bride, abhorred Christ. — What is understood by the wife of the Lord but the Synagogue, subjected to Him with carnal understanding in the covenant of the law? Now the breath is from the flesh. But the unbelieving people understood the flesh of the Lord carnally, because it believed Him to be a mere man. His breath, therefore, His wife abhorred, because the Synagogue was afraid to believe Him whom she saw a man to be God. And when she heard words bodily from His mouth, she refused to understand in Him the secrets of the divinity, and did not believe Him to be the Creator whom she saw a creature. The carnal wife, therefore, abhorred the breath of the flesh, because, given over to carnal senses, she did not acknowledge the mystery of His incarnation. There follows:
