Subjungit itaque: “Cur\r\nenim natus sum ut viderem labores et dolores, et in perpetuo probro\r\nfuerunt dies mei?”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_439\" id=\"FNanchor_439\">[439]</a> Quin etiam omnes, qui prædicabant veritatem,\r\npropter eorum, qui audiebant, inobedientiam, quærebantur ad pœnam, et\r\nveniebant in periculum. “Cur enim non fuit uterus matris meæ sepulcrum,\r\nne viderem afflictionem Jacob et laborem generis Israel?”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_440\" id=\"FNanchor_440\">[440]</a> ait\r\nEsdras propheta. “Nullus est a sorde mundus,” ait Job, “nec si sit\r\nquidem una dies vita ejus.”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_441\" id=\"FNanchor_441\">[441]</a> Dicant ergo nobis, ubi fornicatus\r\nest infans natus? vel quomodo sub Adæ cecidit exsecrationem, qui\r\nnihil est operatus? Restat ergo eis, ut videtur, consequenter,\r\nut dicant malam esse generationem, non solum corporis, sed etiam\r\nanimæ, per quam exsistit corpus. Et quando dixit David: “In peccatis\r\nconceptus sum, et in iniquitatibus concepit me mater mea:”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_442\" id=\"FNanchor_442\">[442]</a> dicit\r\nprophetice quidem matrem Evam; sed Eva quidem fuit “mater viventium;”\r\net si is “in peccatis fuit conceptus,” at non ipse in peccato, neque\r\nvero ipse peccatum. Utrum vero quicunque etiam a peccato ad fidem\r\nconvertitur, a peccandi consuetudine tanquam a<span class=\"pagenum\" id=\"Page_133\">[133]</span> “matre” converti\r\ndicatur ad “vitam,” feret mihi testimonium unus ex duodecim prophetis,\r\nqui dixit: “Si dedero primogenita pro impietate fructum ventris mei,\r\npro peccatis animæ meæ.”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_443\" id=\"FNanchor_443\">[443]</a> Non accusat eum, qui dixit: “Crescite\r\net multiplicamini:”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_444\" id=\"FNanchor_444\">[444]</a> sed primos post generationem motus, quorum\r\ntempore Deum non cognoscimus, dicit “impietates.” Si quis autem ea\r\nratione dicit malam generationem, idem eam dicat bonam, quatenus\r\nin ipso veritatem cognoscimus. “Abluamini juste, et ne peccetis.\r\nIgnorationem enim Dei quidam habent,”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_445\" id=\"FNanchor_445\">[445]</a> videlicet qui peccant.\r\n“Quoniam nobis est colluctatio non adversus carnem et sanguinem, sed\r\nadversus spiritalia.”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_446\" id=\"FNanchor_446\">[446]</a> Potentes autem sunt ad tentandum “principes\r\ntenebrarum hujus mundi,” et ideo datur venia. Et ideo Paulus quoque:\r\n“Corpus meum,” inquit, “castigo, et in servitutem redigo; quoniam\r\nqui certat, omnia continet,” hoc est, in omnibus continet, non ab\r\nomnibus abstinens, sed continenter utens iis, quæ utenda judicavit,\r\n“illi quidem ut corruptibilem coronam accipiant; nos autem ut\r\nincorruptibilem,”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_447\" id=\"FNanchor_447\">[447]</a> in lucta vincentes, non autem sine pulvere\r\ncoronam accipientes. Jam nonnulli quoque præferunt viduam virgini, ut\r\nquæ, quam experta est, voluptatem magno animo contempserit.</p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","BOOK III.","CAPUT XVI. JER.
