RESPONSIO.

REsp. Primo, Hic deprehenditur iterum mala adversariorum fides, quod suppresserint verba immediate praecedentia, quae sensum S. Augustini omnino aperiunt. Ait enim S. Augustinus in haec verba,

ET GENTES IN TERRA DIRIGIS: Directae autem gentes, ambulantes in fide, exultan∣tes in illo, facientes opera bona, & si qua forte, quoniam per mare navig ant, intrat aqua per mi∣nutissimas cavernas, per rimulas ad sentinam ex∣hauriendo eam per opera bona, ne plus intrando cumulum faciat, & navem deprimat exhauriendo, quotidie je junando, operando, eleemosynas faci∣endo, dicendo puro corde, Dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut & nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris, dicendo ista, ambula securus, & exulta in via, canta in via, noli timere judicem.

Secundo, haec via, ut ait S. Augustinus eodem Psalmo paulo supra, Christus est; quanto securius cantas in Christo, non habet via ista latronem, &c. Ip∣sa cantatio confessio est; confessio peccatorum tuorum, & virtutis Dei, tuam iniquitatem confitere, te accusa, illum glorifica, te reprehende, illum lauda, ut & ipse veniens inveniat te punitorem, & exhibeat se tibi Sal∣vatorem tuum. Vides quod ibi S. Augustinus loqui∣tur de Christo Salvatore in die judicii.

Tertio, Cum dicit S. Augustinus, Noli timere ju∣dicem, loquitur pro altera vita, non pro ista: nam superius dixerat: Gaudeat judicandus qui timuit ju∣dicaturum; & sensus est: Noli timere, ne judex tu∣us, cum venerit judicaturus, fallatur, ne corrumpa∣tur sicut homo mortalis, quia judicat populos in ae∣quitate. Audiatur, si placet, ipse S. Augustinus:

Ille, cum venerit, populos in aequitate judicabit, quid ibi valebit calliditas accusatoris ubi est testis conscientia? ubi tu eris & causa tua? ubi Judex non quaerit testem? advocatum misit tibi, propter il∣lum & per illum confitere, age causam tuam, & de∣fensor est poenitentis, & peritor veniae confiten∣tis, & judex innocentis: vere timere poteris cau∣sam tuam ubi advocatus tuus erit judex tuus. Laeten∣tur ergo & exultent gentes, quoniam judicas popu∣los in aequitate, sed timere poterunt ne male ju∣dicentur?

Page 121

dent se corrigendos, ei qui videt judi∣candos; hic corrigantur, & non timeant cum judicantut.

Quibus ita deductis, nonne luce clarius est hanc esse mentem S. Augustini in hac oratione ad fide∣lem & justum, si ambulas in via, id est; in Christo, si exultas in illo, facies opera bona, si sollicitus es quotidie sentinam exhaurire, id est, levia pec∣cata quae irrepunt redimere jejunando, orando, eleemosynam dando, noli timere de tuo Judice ac∣si corrumpi posset aut falli, imo gaude & exulta quia reperies Judicem qui judicabit populos in ae∣quitate, qui tunc Salvator tuus erit, quia tui ipsius fuisti punitor. Nam si, cum esses impius, quae∣sivit te ut redimiret, redemptum non deseret ut perdat, id est, non te deseret aut trader advesario tuo & accusatori ut pereas. Quid enim ibi valebit calliditas accusatoris?

Verum ex his verbis colligere, Homini justo quamdiu degit in corpore mortis hujus, non esse quod timeat ne desereatur a Deo & inferatur in tentationem, quis hoc ferat? quae Catholicorum aures id sine zelo & indignatione audire possunt? & ubi illud Pauli, Cum timore & tremore salutem ve∣stram operamini? Deus enim est qui operatur in vobis velle & perficere pro bona voluntate. Et illud D. Le∣onis Magni: Et haec est Sanctis causa metuendi atque tremendi, ne ipsis operibus pietatis elati, dese∣rantur ope gratiae, & relinquantur in infirmitate naturae.
