10:1
Item in eodem capitulo paulo infra verba Juliani, a « Ostensum est igitur nihil posse per Scripturas sanctas probari, quod justitia non possit tueri: quia si in lege Dei est perfecta forma justitiae, nihil per eam adversaria ejus, id est, injustitia sinitur virtutis acquirere; ac per hoc, b quod ratio arguit, non po- test auctoritas vindicare. » c 1. Ad haec. Vellem probares tua ratione puerpe- rium virginis, vel conceptum sine virili commixtione [ Baluz. permixtione], [Deum quoque hominem factum, et per aetatum incrementa ad crucem fuisse perductum: quod quia humana ratiocinatio nulla consignat, per fidem divinorum eloquiorum aucto- ritas vindicat. 2.
同樣,在同一章稍下處,猶利安的言論:「因此已經顯明:凡公義所不能維護的,沒有一樣能藉聖經得以證明:因為若在神的律法中有完備的公義樣式,它便絲毫不容許它的對頭——即不義——獲取任何德性;由此可知,凡理性所駁倒的,權柄便不能伸張。」一、對此我答覆。我倒希望你能用你的理性證明童女的生產,或證明無男性交合[巴呂茲本:結合]而成的受孕;以及神也成了人,並經由年歲的增長被帶到十字架:這些事,因人的推理絲毫不能確證,神聖話語的權柄便藉著信仰加以伸張。二、
Likewise in the same chapter, a little below, the words of Julian: 'It has been shown, therefore, that nothing can be proved through the holy Scriptures which justice cannot defend: for if in the law of God there is a perfect form of justice, nothing is permitted by it to its adversary—that is, injustice—to acquire of virtue; and through this, what reason refutes, authority cannot vindicate.' 1. To these things. I would wish that by your reasoning you might prove the childbearing of the Virgin, or conception without male intercourse [Baluz. mingling]; that God too was made man, and through the increments of the ages was led to the cross: which, because no human ratiocination certifies it, the authority of the divine utterances vindicates through faith. 2.
10:2
Ridendum ergo, iimno flendum in te est, quod ais: « Quod ratio arguit, non potest auctoritas vindi- care. » Quis autem numeret [ Baluz, numerat) tam magna et ita frequentia contra hanc miseram decla- matiunculam tuam testimonia Scripturarum, In qui- bus, quia ratio investigare nihil potest, ad fidem recurritur, ut ejus auctoritate salus aeterna quaeratur?
因此你身上有一件可笑——不,倒是可哭——的事,就是你說:「凡理性所駁倒的,權柄便不能伸張。」但誰能數算聖經那如此眾多、如此頻繁的見證,來駁斥你這可憐的小演說?在這些見證中,因理性絲毫不能探究,便訴諸信仰,好叫人藉它的權柄尋求永遠的救恩。
It is therefore to be laughed at—nay, rather to be wept over—in you, that you say: 'What reason refutes, authority cannot vindicate.' But who could count [Baluz. counts] the testimonies of the Scriptures, so great and so frequent, against this wretched little declamation of yours—in which, because reason can investigate nothing, recourse is had to faith, so that by its authority eternal salvation may be sought?
