of

fire

and

punishment

,

enemy

of

the

saints

,

through

what

necessity

didst

thou

bring

about

that

the

King

of

glory

should

be

crucified

,

so

that

he

should

come

here

and

deprive

us

of

our

power

?

Turn

and

see

that

not

one

of

the

dead

has

been

left

in

me

,

but

all

that

thou

hast

gained

through

the

tree

of

knowledge

lost

through

tree

of

the

cross

:

and

all

thy

joy

has

that

thou

shouldst

compass

his

destruction

?

how

hast

thou

dared

to

do

such

evil

?

how

hast

thou

busied

thyself

to

bring

down

such

a

man

into

this

darkness

,

through

whom

thou

hast

been

deprived

of

all

who

have

died

from

eternity

?
