20:1
Esto in Deo gaudens lætitia animi tranquilla et moderata, juxta quod ait Apostolus: Gaudete in Domino semper, iterum dtco gaudete (Phil. IV). Et alio loco dicit: Fructus autem Spiritu. est gaudium (Gal. v). Talis jucunditas HOn perturbat mentem ridendi foeditate, sed sublevat desideriis animam ad supernam quietem; ubi possis audire: Intra in gaudium Domini tui (Matth. XXV). Quale sit cor virginis plerumque risu monstratur. Neque enim impudenter virgo rideret, si Cor castum haberet. Speculum cordis facies est hominis: non ridel lascive, nisi quae corda lasciva est. Ex ubundantia enim cordis, ait Do minus, os loquitur (Matth. xn)i ergo ex abundantia vanissimi pectoris ridet facies virginis.
當以安寧適度的魂中喜樂在神裡面歡喜，正如使徒所說：你們要在主裡常常喜樂，我再說，你們要喜樂（腓四）。他又在別處說：聖靈的果子就是喜樂（加五）。這樣的歡欣不以放笑的污穢攪擾心思，乃以渴慕高舉魂進入屬天的安息；在那裡你可聽見：進來享受你主人的快樂（太二十五）。童貞女的心如何，多半從她的笑顯露出來。因為童貞女若有貞潔的心，便不會無恥地發笑。人的面容是心的鏡子：她若不是心放蕩之人，便不會放蕩地發笑。主說：因為心裡所充滿的，口裡就說出來（太十二）；所以童貞女的面容發笑，乃是出於極虛妄之胸懷的充滿。
Be rejoicing in God with a joy of soul tranquil and moderate, according to what the Apostle says: Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice (Phil. IV). And in another place he says: But the fruit of the Spirit is joy (Gal. V). Such gladness does not disturb the mind with the foulness of laughter, but lifts up the soul with desires to the supernal rest; where you may hear: Enter into the joy of your Lord (Matt. XXV). What manner of thing the heart of a virgin is, is for the most part shown by her laughter. For a virgin would not laugh shamelessly, if she had a chaste heart. The face is the mirror of the heart of man: she does not laugh wantonly, unless she be one whose heart is wanton. For out of the abundance of the heart, says the Lord, the mouth speaks (Matt. XII); therefore out of the abundance of a most vain breast does the face of a virgin laugh.
20:2
Quid de hoc legitur vide: Risum reputari errorem; et gaudio dixi, qu d frustra decipis (Eccl. II) ? i. iterum ibidem: Risus dolore miscetur: et extrema gaudii luctus oecupat. Et Dominus ait: Bzati qui lugent, quoniam ipsi consolabuntur (Matth. V). Verum et apostolus insanc lætantibus dicit: Risus vester vertatur in luctum (Jac. IV). Risum ergo, soror, ut errorem fuge, et temporalem) laetitiam commuta i. loctum; ut beatificeris, si peregrina in.nando luxeris quoniam qui secundum Deum lugent, beati sunt, et ipsi consolabuntur. Peregrinari te in mando scito; nec hic habere pa. triam, sed in coelo. Si tali desiderio ardebat Christi servus, ut diceret: Cupio disslvo, et esse eum Christo (Phil.
看論及此事所記的：笑要算為錯謬；論到喜樂，我說，你徒然欺哄什麼（傳二）？同處又說：笑中夾雜憂愁，歡樂的終局被哀傷所佔。主又說：哀慟的人有福了，因為他們必得安慰（太五）。使徒也確實對那狂喜之人說：要將你們的笑變為哀慟（雅四）。所以妹妹，要躲避笑如同躲避錯謬，把暫時的歡樂換為哀慟；好叫你得福，若你在世上作客旅而哀慟，因為照著神而哀慟的有福了，他們自己也必得安慰。要知道你在世上是客旅；你在此並無家鄉，乃在天上。基督的僕人若懷著這般渴望以致說：我情願離世與基督同在（腓
See what is read of this: That laughter is to be reckoned an error; and to joy I said, why do you vainly deceive (Eccl. II)? And again in the same place: Laughter is mingled with sorrow, and mourning seizes the end of joy. And the Lord says: Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted (Matt. V). Truly the Apostle too says to those rejoicing madly: Let your laughter be turned into mourning (Jas. IV). Therefore flee laughter, sister, as an error, and exchange temporal gladness for mourning; that you may be made blessed, if as a pilgrim in the world you mourn, since they that mourn according to God are blessed, and they themselves shall be comforted. Know that you are a pilgrim in the world; nor do you have here a homeland, but in heaven. If the servant of Christ burned with such desire, that he said: I desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ (Phil.
20:3
i); quanta amoris flagrantia viro debet accendi, quam uberes lacrymas desiderio sponsi sui effundere, donec ad amplexum Christi valeat pervenire, et ubertim flere non desinat, usquequo Christum, quem videre cupit, attingat. Lugebat ille se peregrinum in hac vita, qui mœrens dicebat: Heu me! quod incolatus meus prolongatus est a me (Psalm. CXIX). Nam exsultans te coelestis sponsus et eharissimis excipiet amplexibus, si te sui desiderio flagrare didicerit, et si absente eo fleveris, ille te præseus conaolabitur.
人應當被何等熾烈的愛火所點燃，當為渴慕自己的新郎而傾流何等豐沛的淚水，直到她能夠來到基督的懷抱，並且不停止地痛哭，直到她得著她所渴望見到的基督。那哀痛地說「我有禍了，因我寄居的日子延長了」（詩篇一一九篇）的人，是為自己在此生作客旅而哀傷。因為那屬天的新郎必要歡欣地、以最親愛的擁抱接納你，倘若祂得知你因渴慕祂而燃燒，倘若你在祂不在時哭泣，祂必親自臨在安慰你。
With how great a burning of love a man ought to be set ablaze, how plentiful the tears she ought to pour out in longing for her Bridegroom, until she is able to come to the embrace of Christ, and may not cease to weep abundantly until she reaches the Christ whom she desires to see. That man mourned that he was a stranger in this life who said in grief: 'Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged' (Psalm 119). For the heavenly Bridegroom will receive you exultantly and with the dearest embraces, if He has learned that you burn with longing for Him, and if you have wept in His absence, He being present will console you.
