| Quotation | In die autem uicesimo quarto mensis huius conuenerunt filii israhel in ieiunio et saccis et humus super eos, et separatum est semen filiorum israhel ab omni filio alienigena, et cetera. Notanda deuotio correcti post captiuitatem populi ut completa rite sollemnitate quae per legem domini mandata est uno tantum intermisso die mox in ieiunio et in paenitentia ipsi sua sponte conuenirent et quod diebus lectionum sanctarum ac laetitiae gerendum audierant diligenter ex tempore gererent separando scilicet se ipsos et mente et corpore a consortio eorum qui alieni a domino esse et ab eius cultura comprobantur ne rursus per societatem et exempla reproborum inciderent in mala captiuitatis et aerumnae quae tum uix post longa temporum siue saeculorum uolumina sese euasisse cernebant. |
| Translation | On the twenty-fourth day of this month, the children of Israel came together with fasting and with sackcloth, and earth upon them.And the seed of the children of Israel separated themselves from every foreigner,and so on. One should note the devotion of the people reformed after the captivity: when the feast which had been commanded by the Lord’s Law had been duly completed, after just one day’s intermission, they immediately came together of their own accord with fasting and with repentance, and diligently carried out what on the days of sacred readings and rejoicing they had heard must be done by separating themselves in both mind and body from the fellowship of those who were proven to be alienated from the Lord and his worship, lest through the association and examples of the wicked they should again fall into the evils of captivity and hardship which, they discerned, they had just at that time barely escaped after long revolutions of times and ages.
