82:1
I bid. — Etatque vir ille magnus inter omnes Orien- tates. 43. Earum refrenatione magni efficimur. — Tunc namque magni inter omnes Orientales efficimur, cum eis spiritibus, qui orienti luci inhaerent, pressa car- nalis corruptionis nebula, discretionis nostrae radiis, in quantum possibilitas suppetit, sociamur. Unde et per Paulum dicitur: Nostra conversatio in coelis est ( Philipp. iii, 20). Quisquis temporalia ac defectiva sequitur, occasum petit; quisquis vero superna desi- derat, quia in Oriente habitet, demonstrat.

Whence it is said through Paul: Our conversation is in heaven (Phil. 3:20). Whoever pursues temporal and defective things seeks the setting; but whoever desires the things above shows that he dwells in the East.
82:2
Magnus ergo non inter Occidentales, sed inter Orientales ef- ficitur, qui non e inter malorum actiones ima et fugitiva quaerentium, sed inter choros prolicere su- pernorum civium conatur. Sequitur:
因此，凡不在西方人中、而在東方人中成為至大的，乃是那不在惡人（就是尋求最卑下、最短暫之物者）的作為中，卻在上界公民的詩班中努力前進的人。接著說：
Great, therefore, is he made not among those of the West but among those of the East, who strives to advance not amid the deeds of the wicked who seek what is lowest and fleeting, but amid the choirs of the citizens on high. There follows:
