20. What then? “As I hear, I judge.” The Son “heareth,” and the Father “showeth” to Him, and the Son seeth the Father doing. But we had deferred these matters, in order to handle them, so far as might lie in our abilities, with somewhat greater plainness and fullness, should time and strength remain to us after finishing the perusal of the passage. If I say that I am able to speak yet further, you perhaps are not able to go on hearing. Again, perhaps, in your eagerness to hear, you say, “We are able.” Better, then, that I should confess my weakness, that, being already fatigued, I am not able to speak longer, than that, when you are already satiated, I should continue to pour into you what you cannot well digest. Then, as to this promise, which I deferred until today, should there be an opportunity, hold me, with the Lord’s help, your debtor until to-morrow.

20. Quid ergo? Sicut audio, ita judico. Audit Filius, et demonstrat ei Pater, et videt Filius Patrem facientem. Et ista distuleramus paulo enucleatius pro viribus pertractare, si tempus nobis peracta lectione et vires remansissent. Si dicam me posse loqui adhuc, forte vos audire jam non potestis. Item forte aviditate audiendi dicitis, Possumus. Melius est ergo ut ego infirmitatem meam fatear, quia jam fatigatus loqui non possum, quam ut vobis jam bene satiatis, adhuc 1556 infundam quod non bene digeratis. Proinde hujus promissionis quam ad hodiernum tempus, si superesset, distuleram, tenete me adjuvante Domino in crastinum debitorem.
