Exegesis on the Four Evangelists

Euangelia .iiii. ideo sunt quia unam æclesiam per iiii. partes mundi dilatandam describunt, siue quia quadrangulum uerbum immota- bile est, ut lapis quadrangulus non uacillet, ut hieronymus dicit, per hoc stabilitas indicatur. euangelica. omnibus heresibus resistens, siue quia duorum uel trium testium numerus in lege commendatus est. unusquisque eorum tribus reliquis utitur. Euangelia .iiii. liquoribus comparantur matheus melli propter perfec- torum dulcidinem praeceptorum comparatur. Marcus uino propter austeritatem penitentiae in primordio sui sermonis intima- tam. Lucas lacti propter sincerae et misticæ doctrinae candorem. Iohannis oleo propter eminentem et omnia illustrantem diuinitatis lucem quae ipsius uoluminis exordio corruscat. Elimentis quoque .iiii.or principalibus euangelia comparantur. Matteus terræ quia omnium elimentorum quasi funda- mentum est comparatur. Marcus aquae babtismatis qui imprimis loquitur sacramentum. Lucas æri qui interpretatur ipse eleuatus qui ab inferioribus nascituri hominis mis- teriis usque ad ascentionem domini in caelum continuato sermone per- tingit sicut aer a terra ad caelum por- rigitur. iohannis igni qui di- uinitatis ignem omnia penitran- tem suo protendit uolumine, dicente moyse: deus noster ignis consumens est. Matteus arat, marcus se- minat, Lucas irrigat, iohannis incrementum dat, ut messis mul- ta fidelium sit perfecta atque matura .iiii.or quoque temporibus anni comparantur. Matteus hiemi initia per pampinos omnium fruc- tuum coalenti, unde arare dicitur. Marcus ueri post hiemem in flores et gemmas erumpenti, unde seminare dicitur. Lucas æstati post uernum tempus cre- scentia terræ germina pluui- alibus aquis irriganti ac so- lis claritate eo quod ipse ut matteus praeceptis abundet diuinis et diuinitatem uirtu- tibus plurimis contestatur, unde irrigare dicitur. iohannis autumno post æstatis calorem et irri- gationem cuncta ad maturita- tis perfectionem prouehenti cui narrandæ christi diuinitatis et consummandi canonis per- fectio data est a domino, unde incre- mentum dare dicitur. His .iiii. tem- poribus annus domini acceptabilis cum duodeno apostolorum numero quasi .xii. mensibus completur.
