Homilies on Ezekiel, Homilia VIII · §1

How shall I settle your heart? Triple fornication

How weak is your heart when you act the bold harlot — fornication threefold in spirit, soul, and body. You built your vault at every street head and paid your lovers.

Latin

In quo constituam cor tuum, dicit Adonai Dominus, cum facias opera meretricis procacis et fornicata es tripliciter in filiabus tuis? Lupanar in capite omnis viae; mercedes dedisti amatoribus.
