# Matins Nocturn content for September Ember Saturday (Sabbato Quattuor
# Temporum Septembris) — read directly from
# web/www/horas/Latin/Tempora/093-6.txt, English/Tempora/093-6.txt, and
# their Monastic-track override web/www/horas/Latin/TemporaM/093-6.txt
# (substitutes its own Responsory2/3, same Tobias-sermon texts as
# ember-september-wednesday.yml's own Monastic override — used here per
# this project's Monastic 1617-first structure preference; Responsory1 is
# identical in both tracks, and is itself the same text as
# ember-september-wednesday.yml's Responsory1).
#
# Lectio1's Gospel citation (Luke 13:6-17) is a bare incipit with no full
# pericope text given, so only the homily portion is authored, same
# convention as the other two September Ember days. Kept as 3 separate
# readings, each with its own genuinely distinct proper responsory.

        Dóminus ac Redémptor noster per Evangélium suum aliquándo verbis, aliquándo rebus lóquitur: aliquándo áliud
        verbis, atque áliud rebus; aliquándo autem hoc verbis, quod rebus. Duas étenim res ex Evangélio, fratres,
        audístis: ficúlneam infructuósam, et mulíerem curvam; et utríque rei est píetas impénsa. Illud autem dixit
        per similitúdinem: istud egit per exhibitiónem. Sed hoc signíficat ficúlnea infructuósa, quod múlier
        inclináta; et hoc ficúlnea reserváta, quod múlier erécta.

        Our Lord and Redeemer speaketh unto us sometimes by words, and sometimes by deeds, sometimes one thing by
        words, and another by deeds, and sometimes the same thing both by word and deed. In the portion of the
        Gospel which hath this day been read, ye have heard, my brethren, two things, the parable of the fig-tree
        and the history of the woman which was bowed together. In both is a manifestation of the Lord's mercy, but
        in the one by a parable, in the other by an example. But the barren fig-tree signifieth the same thing as
        doth the woman bowed together, and the patience shown to the fig-tree the same thing as doth the healing
        of the woman bowed together.

      la: "R. Tribulatiónes civitátum audívimus, quas passæ sunt, et defécimus: timor et hebetúdo mentis cécidit super nos et super líberos nostros: ipsi montes nolunt recípere fugam nostram: * Dómine, miserére.\nV. Peccávimus cum pátribus nostris, injúste égimus, iniquitátem fécimus.\nR. Dómine, miserére."
      en: "R. We have heard of the tribulation of those cities, which they have suffered, and we have fainted. Fear and confusion of mind are fallen upon us. Even the mountains will not give us a refuge. * Lord, have mercy.\nV. We have sinned like our forefathers, we have done unjustly, and wrought iniquity.\nR. Lord, have mercy."

        Quid arbor fici, nisi humánam natúram desígnat? Quid múlier inclináta, nisi eámdem natúram significándo
        denúntiat? Quæ et bene plantáta est sicut ficus, et bene creáta sicut múlier; sed in culpam própria sponte
        lapsa, neque fructum servat operatiónis, neque statum rectitúdinis. Ad peccátum quippe ex voluntáte
        córruens, quia fructum obediéntiæ ferre nóluit, statum rectitúdinis amísit. Quæ ad Dei similitúdinem
        cóndita, dum in sua dignitáte non pérstitit, quod plantáta vel creáta fúerat, serváre contémpsit. Tértio
        dóminus víneæ ad ficúlneam venit, quia natúram géneris humáni ante legem, sub lege, sub grátia, exspéctando,
        admonéndo, visitándo requisívit.

        What is the fig-tree a type, but of mankind? Of what is the woman bowed together by a spirit of infirmity a
        type, but of the same mankind? Man was originally placed in a garden like the fig-tree, and created upright
        like the woman, but man fell away by his own willful fault like the fig-tree he brought forth no fruit like
        the woman he ceased to stand straight. When he willfully went into sin, because he would not bring forth
        the fruit of obedience, he lost his uprightness. The nature which had been created in the image of God,
        continued not in honour, but cast aside the state wherein it had been placed and made. The lord of the
        vineyard came thrice to the fig-tree, for God hath come in hope, and in warning, seeking fruit from mankind
        under three successive dispensations, that is to say, before the law, under the law, and under grace.

      la: "R. Audíte, fílii mei, patrem vestrum: † servíte Dómino in veritáte, et inquírite ut faciátis quæ plácita sunt illi: et fíliis vestris mandáte * Ut fáciant justítias et eleemósynas.\nV. Ut sint mémores Dei, et benedícant eum in omni témpore † in veritáte, et in tota virtúte sua.\nR. Ut fáciant justítias et eleemósynas."
      en: "R. Hearken my children, to your father: serve the Lord in truth, and seek to do the things that please him: and command your children: * That they do justice and almsdeeds.\nV. That they be mindful of God, and bless him at all times in truth, and with all their power.\nR. That they do justice and almsdeeds."

        Venit ante legem, quia per naturálem intelléctum quid unusquísque exémplo sui, quáliter erga próximum ágere
        debuísset, innótuit. Venit in lege, quia præcipiéndo dócuit. Venit post legem per grátiam, quia pietátis
        suæ præséntiam exhibéndo monstrávit. Sed tamen in tribus annis fructum se non invenísse conquéritur: quia
        quorúmdam pravórum mentes nec inspiráta lex naturális córrigit, nec præcépta erúdiunt, nec incarnatiónis
        ejus mirácula convértunt. Quid vero per cultórem víneæ, nisi præpositórum ordo exprímitur? Qui dum præsunt
        Ecclésiæ, nimírum Domínicæ víneæ curam gerunt.

        It came before the law, in that by natural understanding, He let all know by example of Himself, what and
        how they should do toward their neighbor. In the law He came teaching. After the law He came by grace,
        opening, manifesting His merciful Presence. But after all these three years He yet hath to complain that He
        findeth no fruit upon the fig-tree, for there are still some degraded minds which the inborn voice of the
        natural law doth not control, which the commandments do not teach, and which the wonders of the
        Incarnation itself do not convert. Of what is the dresser of the vineyard a type, but of the Episcopacy?
        For these are they who have the government in the Church, and are therefore truly called the dressers of
        the Lord's vineyard.
    responsory:
      la: "R. Benedícat te Dóminus in virtúte sua, † qui per te ad níhilum redégit inimícos nostros: * Ut non defíciat laus tua de ore hóminum.\nV. Benedíctus Dóminus qui creávit cælum et terram: † quia hódie nomen tuum ita magnificávit.\nR. Ut non defíciat laus tua de ore hóminum."
      en: "R. The Lord bless you by His power, Who hath brought our enemies to nought through you. * And may the praise of you never fail from the mouth of men.\nV. Blessed be the Lord, Who hath created the heaven and the earth, because that He hath so glorified your name this day.\nR. And may the praise of you never fail from the mouth of men."
