L’Evangile est comme feu estimé.
Car aussi tost que lon va le preschant,
Le monde en est tout soudain allumé.
Mais cela vient de la part du meschant.
Ce feu brulant, glaive à double trenchant,
De tous costez vivement coupe & brule.
De l’une part purge l’or & l’argent,
D’autre il consume & la paille & l’estule.

SI IAM ACCENSUS

If now on fire

A disembodied hand feeds a book into a blazing globe. In the background is a bay and some yachts.

lii.

Alta Dei flammas vox toto suscitat orbe,
Dum nimis averso mens mala corde furit.
Sed pia mens humilis paret. Sic excoquit aurum,
Et paleas eodem devorat igne focus.

The mighty voice of God causes flames throughout the earth while an evil mind/soul rages, his heart turned away. But the faithful mind/soul comes forth humbly. So with the same fire the fire-pan purifies gold and consumes the straw.
