Filia mea male a demonio vexatur. (Matthew 15:22) |
| Topics: |
| Original: |
Que vero est filia hec nisi anima criminosi? […] In quibus sacratissimis verbis sexta religiositas, scilicet constringens, apertius indicatur: quia per eam aptatur homo et quodammodo constringitur ante talem finem doloribus plenum de salute sue anime providere. Duodecim igitur sunt dolores quos communiter patiuntur impii pectores in ultimo fine. Hos autem tres quaternarios distinguamus. Et primo ponamus quattuor primos dolores et cruciatus graves:
• primus est dolor afflictionis;
• secundus est dolor cogitationis;
• tertius est dolor privationis;
• quartum est dolor separationis.
Addantur etiam quattuor alii graviores: • primus est dolor dubitationis; • secundus est dolor offensionis; • tertius est dolor obligationis; • quartus est dolor citationis. Superaddantur relicti quattuor gravissimi in supremo: • primus est dolor presentationis; • secundus est dolor examinationis; • tertius est dolor sententiationis; • quartus est dolor damnationis. |
| Translation: |
And who is this daughter, if not the soul of the criminal? […] These most sacred words clearly show the sixth form of religiosity, namely the compelling one, because through it a person is disposed and somehow compelled to provide for the salvation of his soul, before such an end full of sorrows. There are twelve sorrows which impious hearts commonly suffer at their final hour. Let us distinguish these into three groups of four. First, let us set forth the first four sorrows and grievous torments:
• first, the sorrow of affliction;
• second, the sorrow of reflection;
• third, the sorrow of deprivation;
• fourth, the sorrow of separation.
Let four others, more severe, be added: • first, the sorrow of doubt; • second, the sorrow of offense; • third, the sorrow of obligation; • fourth, the sorrow of summons. Let the remaining four, the most grievous of all, be added: • first, the sorrow of presentation; • second, the sorrow of examination; • third, the sorrow of judgment; • fourth, the sorrow of damnation. |
