When we are filled with his blessings, Christ looks for our praises; when we have eaten and are fat, 1that we should worship him. 2What fruit finds he? We sit down to eat and drink, and rise up to play: for praying, playing. When we are scourged, he looks for our humiliation and penance; Sure, in their affliction they will seek me. 3What fruit finds he? Lord, thou hast smitten them, but they have not sorrowed; an insensible desperateness. In this case let us pray; Lord, less of the fruits we have, and more of them we ⟨p. 39⟩should have.4 Instead of righteousness, a cry: a cry indeed; a roaring cry of the oppressors, and a mourning cry of the oppressed. Haec non sunt placido suscipienda sinu.
