Christus per exemplum conqueritur grauiter de christianis, et ideo conuertens se ad infideles et paganos precipit amicis et seruis suis, quod vadant ad conuertendum eos cum caritate beniuola et verbis dulcibus hic contentis.
The King in the Field
Christ uses the metaphor of a king standing in a field to illustrate the division between his friends and his enemies.
Christ spoke to the bride, saying, "I am like a king standing in a field." "At his right hand stood his friends, and at his left, his enemies, and so on." Look for this chapter in the second book, chapter six.
Read the original Latin
Christus loquebatur sponse dicens: Ego sum similis regi, qui stabat in campo. Ad cuius dexteram stabant amici et ad sinistram inimici etc. Istud capitulum require in secundo libro capitulo sexto .
