[109] ἀπαρχαὶ δέ εἰσιν ἅγιαι
κινήσεις αἱ κατ’ ἀρετὴν ἑκατέρου, διὸ καὶ ἅλῳ παραβέβληται· καθάπερ οὖν ἐν ταῖς ἅλωσι πυροὶ καὶ κριθαὶ καὶ ὅσα τοιαῦτα καθ’ ἑαυτὰ χωρίζεται, ἀθέρες δὲ καὶ ἄχυρα καὶ εἴ τις ἄλλος φορυτὸς ἑτέρωσε σκίδναται, οὕτως καὶ παρ’ ἡμῖν τὰ μέν ἐστιν ἄριστα καὶ ὠφέλιμα καὶ τὰς ἀληθεῖς τροφὰς παρέχοντα, δι’ ὧν ὁ ὀρθὸς ἀποτελεῖται βίος, ἅπερ
¹² ἀναθετέον θεῷ, τὰ δὲ ἄλλα ὅσα μὴ θεῖα ὑπολειπτέον ὥσπερ σκύβαλα γένει τῷ θνητῷ. ἀπὸ μὲν οὖν τούτων ἀφαιρετέον.

[109] But the first fruits are the holy motions of each in accordance with virtue; on which account they have been compared to a threshing-floor. As, therefore, on a threshing-floor there is wheat and barley, and as many more of such things as are capable of being separated by themselves, and husks and chaff, and whatever other refuse is dissipated and scattered in different directions, so too, with us, there are some things which are excellent and useful, and which afford real nourishment, by means of which a good life is brought to perfection; all which things we should attribute to God. But there are other things which are not divine, which we must leave like refuse to the race of mankind; but from these some portions must be taken away,

6 Et ideo Dominus dicit: Cum intraveritis in terram in quam induco, vos, et cum manducare coeperitis de panibus terrae illius, offeretis oblationem separatam Domino, primitias conspersionis vestrae, panem sicut oblationem de area: sic offeretis primitias confusionum vestrarum et dabitis Domino. confusio nos sumus, diversorum elementorum quadam commixtione compositi, si quidem frigidum calido et humidum sicco miscetur in nobis. . . . cuius conspcrsionis primitiae spiritales sunt, hoc est inventiones et generationes nerationes sensuum qui ej vigore animae procedunt. sed uon omnes primitivi sensus, nisi qui malitiae et improbitatis atque omnis erroris exsortes sunt.
