Commodian — Instructiones 37
Always wicked and stiff-necked you kick back; you do not want to be conquered: thus you will be disinherited. Isaiah said you are of fattened heart. You look at the law Moses dashed in anger; and the same Lord gave him a second law. In that he placed hope, which you, half-raised, sneer at. Will you therefore not be unworthy of the heavenly kingdom?
Latin
37 IUDAEIS. Inprobi semper et dura ceruice recalces, Uinci uos non uultis: sic exheredes eritis. Dixit Esaias incrassato corde uos esse. Aspicis legem, quam Moyses allisit iratus; Et idem Dominus dedit illi lege<m> secunda<m>. In illa spem posuit, quam uos subsannatis erecti. Sic ideo indigni non eritis regno caelesti?
