904:1
58. In saxeis gentilium cordibus Deus fluvios prædicationis aperuit. — Id est, in duris gentilium cordibus fluvios prædicationis aperuit, sicut per prophetam quoque de irriganda dicitur ariditate gentilium: Posuit desertum in stagnum d aquarum, et terram sines aqua in exitus aquarum (Psal. evi, 35). Atque in Evangelio promittit Dominus, dicens: Qui credit in me, sicut dicit Scriptura, flumina aquæ vir. de ventre ejus fluent (Joan. VII, 88). Quod promissum tunc audivimus, etiam nunc completum videmus. Ecce enim in sanctis prædicatoribus, et non ex Judæa progenitis, percunctam Ecciesiam totoorbe diffusam, fluenta cælestium mandatorum ubertim manant ore gentilium.
58. 在外邦人如石的心中，神開通了講道的江河。──就是說，在外邦人剛硬的心裡祂開通了講道的江河，正如藉先知論到將要澆灌外邦人的乾旱所說：「祂使曠野變為水潭，使旱地變為水泉。」（詩一〇七35）主又在福音中應許說：「信我的人，就如經上所說，從他腹中要流出活水的江河來。」（約七38）這應許我們那時聽見了，如今更見它成就。因為看哪，在那些聖潔的、並非由猶大地所生的傳道者身上，遍及散布全世界的整個教會，天上誡命的流水從外邦人的口中豐豐富富地湧出。
58. In the stony hearts of the Gentiles God opened rivers of preaching. — That is, in the hard hearts of the Gentiles He opened rivers of preaching, even as it is said through the prophet concerning the dryness of the Gentiles to be watered: 'He turned the desert into pools of water, and the dry land into water-springs' (Ps. CVII, 35). And in the Gospel the Lord promises, saying: 'He that believeth on me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water' (John VII, 38). Which promise we then heard, and even now we see fulfilled. For behold, in the holy preachers, and those not born of Judaea, throughout the whole Church spread over all the world, the streams of the heavenly commandments flow abundantly from the mouth of the Gentiles.
904:2
Quia enim in petris rivos aperuit, ex duris quoque 583 cordibus fluvius sanctæ prædicationis emanavit. Sequitur:
因為祂在磐石中開通了河流，從剛硬的心裡也湧流出聖潔講道的江河。接著說：
For because He opened streams in the rocks, out of hard hearts also flowed the river of holy preaching. There follows:
