Competentia amoris.
Psalm. 119.
Sagittæ potentis acutæ.[Bible, Psalms 120:4]

August. in Psalm. 119.
Ecce sagitta iacitur & transfigit
cor: quod cùm transfixum est
sagittâ verbi Dei, amor exci-

tur; nouit Dominus sagittare
ad amorem: imò sagittat cor
amantis, vt adiuuet amantem;
sagittat vt faciat amantem.

L’humain aueugle n’at pas d’Hur

[15/Aiij] ↓
Competence d’amovr.
Ces deux Archers n’ont pas un mesme Zele,
Comme ils ont bien vn arc, un trait, un aisle,
Car leur effect est du tout differant:
Les traits de l’vn sont animez de vie;
Les traits de l’autre enuenimez d’enuie;
L’vn est aueugle, & l’autre clair-voyant.
