185. Many nobly interpret that which is
written: “Truly my soul will be in subjection to
God;” Ps. lxii. 1. He said soul
not Godhead, soul not glory. And that we might know that the Lord
has spoken through the prophet of the adoption of our human nature, He
added: “How long will ye cast yourselves upon a
man?” Ps. lxii. 3. As also He
says in the Gospel: “Why do ye seek to kill Me, a
man?” S. John viii. 40. And He
added again: “Nevertheless they desired to refuse My price,
they ran in thirst, they blessed with their mouth, and cursed with
their heart.” Ps. lxii. 4. For the
Jews, when Judas brought back the price, S. Matt. xxvii. 4. would not receive it, running on in
the thirst of madness, for they refused the grace of a spiritual
draught.
