One trumpet for the perfect; four Gospel signals; three life-measures

Or does not a word carry off the equitable one and genuine lover of the life in Christ unto dogmatic rightness and unto correction of manners?

Palladius: So I say.

Cyril: Therefore two are the trumpets that gather the people upon the tent. And if they trumpet in one, he says, all the rulers leaders of sons of Israel will come toward you. For I suppose that even those more perfect in habit need consolation and encouragement, yet not so much as the multitude of the others would also need; on account of this two trumpets barely call back all the others, yet one the chosen ones; for a little suffices the wise, and if he should take a starting-point he will add what is lacking, according to the: ‘Give a wise man a starting-point, and he will be wiser; make known to a righteous man, and he will add receiving.’ Then he has commanded four differences of signals to be made, so that through them those toward dawn and southwest, north and south may both break camp and set out; I think therefore that the four writings of the Gospels are signaled to us through this, through which the whole world is trained unto dogmatic and ethical science at once. And if indeed we must also invent and say something other, we will in no way shrink, making the hunt of the useful better than sleep and sweat. Of the word therefore beside us we will find four differences, through which the whole earth will set right the best and truly reputable life; one therefore and first is that through which we are accustomed to call toward recognition of truth and unto taking up of divine light those who have worshiped the creation beside the Creator, and who say unlearnedly to the wood: You are my father, and to the stone: You begot me, according to the prophet’s voice. Yet for those already having believed, the three other differences of the word would fittingly suit; since indeed the Savior also was teaching that there are three differences of life and citizenship; for he said that the seeds cast upon the good earth made fruit, one a hundred, one sixty, one thirty. Therefore there is for each of such ones the word especially fitting him; for not yet doing rightly will we benefit with equal unguarded words those divided between God and world because of being yoked under marriages according to law, and those who have taken up the all-best and ascetic life, or that fitting priesthood, but to those we will say: ‘Have you been bound to a wife? Do not seek loosing; have you been loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife;’ and as many things as it fits the married to think and do. Yet to the ascetic ones and those who have known to endure: ‘Put to death your members that are upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire.’ And the: ‘The sufferings of the present time are not worthy toward the glory about to be revealed unto us.’ And to those called unto priesthood: ‘A priest’s lips will guard knowledge, and they will seek law from his mouth,’ and as many things as writing to Timothy the most wise
