1For the prophet speaks a parable of the Lord. Who shall understand, except the wise and learned who loves his Lord?
2Since then he has renewed us by the remission of sins, he made us another type.
3That we should have the soul of little children, as if he were creating us afresh.
4For the scripture speaks concerning us, when it says to the Son: Let us make man according to our image and likeness.
5And let them rule over the beasts of the earth and the birds of heaven and the fish of the sea.
6And the Lord said, seeing our beautiful form: Increase and multiply and fill the earth.
7These things were said to the Son.
8Again I will show you how the Lord speaks to us.
