The Waters Of Teaching

Psal. CIII: Inter medium montium pertransibunt aquae, hoc est, aquae doctrinae inter medium duorum testamentorum. Hoc significatum est, Ezechiel.XLVII: Sanabuntur aquae. Et omnis anima vivens, quae serpit, quocumque venerit torrens, vivet. Torrens iste torrore solis fluens, hoc est, calore charitatis Christi, qui est sapientia Dei, sanat aquas doctrinae humanae. Et anima serpens in deliciis, et divitiis, et honoribus vivet, gustans aquas istas

In the hundred and third Psalm, 'Through the midst of the mountains the water shall flow' 1 that is, the waters of teaching through the midst of the two Testaments. This was signified in the forty fifth chapter of Ezekiel, 'The waters shall heal, and every living soul which creeps, wherever the torrent shall come, it shall live.' 2 The torrent is the torrent flowing from the sun, that is, from the warmth of the love of Christ, who is the wisdom of God, which heals human teaching, and the soul creeping in worldly pleasures and riches and honours, when it tastes these waters, it shall live.
