On iii b (xiii): Tractatus in lingua romana sec. Robertum

amissione eius per peccatum. De restauracione eiusdem per

filiabus suis scilicet de misericordia. veritate. iusticia. et pace. Item
de aduentu Christi quando intrauit in quoddam castellum. quod
fuit corpus marie virginis intemerate. De proprietate castelli. Item
de prophecia Isaye dicentis Puer natus est nobis et filius datus est
nobis {blank of nearly two lines} quomodo admirabilis fuit. quomodo
consiliarius. quomodo deus, quomodo fortis. quomodo pater futuri
seculi etc. Et de die Judicii. Et quamuis lingua Romana coram
clericis suauitatem non habeat: tamen laicis qui minus intelligunt
opusculum istud aptum est. quia prudens lector novit suggere mel
de petra. et oleum de saxo durissimo plenum dulcedine. In hoc
enim opere continentur omnes articuli fidei tarn diuinitatis quam
humanitatis.
