        [Comm. plurimorum Virginum]

        (col. a) R. Concupiuit rex speciem tuam...; [lectio] viii. Notandum est fratres karissimi quod inventus thesaurus absconditur, ut servetur, quia studium celestis desiderii a malignis spiritibus custodire non sufficit, qui hoc ab humanis laudibus non abscondit. In presenti etenim vita quasi in via sumus, qua ad patriam pergimus. (col. b) [Maligni autem spiritus iter nostrum quasi quidam] latrunculi obsident. Depredari ergo desiderat, qui thesaurum portat publice in via. (Greg. Magnus, Homiliae in Evangelia, XI.1) Tu autem domine. R. Specie tua et pulchritudine tua... V. Diffusa est gratia...; L. ix. Hoc autem dico, non ut proximi opera nostra bona non videant, cum scriptum sit: videant opera vestra bona, et glorificent patrem vestrum qui in celis est (Matth. V, 16), sed ut per hoc quod agimus laudes exterius non quaeramus// (Greg. Magnus, Homiliae in Evangelia, XI.1).
