Iohannes euangelista dicit sponse, quod reges qui iniustos homines diligunt, iustos deprimunt, excessus corrigendos dissimulant, subditorum bona auferre permittunt, grauamina imponunt et deum opere non honorant, pocius sunt coram deo predones et proditores quam reges. Et dicit modum, qualiter se emendent.
The Vision of the Unashamed
A mysterious figure appears to the bride in a state of vulnerable nakedness, signaling a divine message.
A person appeared to the bride with hair that looked shorn in disgrace, his body anointed with oil; he was completely naked, yet he felt no shame. He said to the bride:
The Mirror of Divine Reward
The figure directs the bride to reflect on the certainty of divine recompense through a specific reference to earlier teachings.
Holy Scripture says that no work will go unrewarded, and so on. Look for this chapter in the fourth book, in the first chapter, in its entirety.
Read the original Latin
Apparuit sponse persona quedam hominis, cuius crines videbantur circumcisi cum obprobrio et corpus perunctum erat oleo totusque nudatus sed nichil erubescens. Qui ait ad sponsam:
Scriptura quam vos vocatis sanctam dicit sic, quod nullum opus sine remuneracione erit etc. Istud capitulum require in IIII libro primo capitulo per totum.
