* . . . Ipsa enim visio est præmium nostrum: ergo ubi paria sunt merita, debet esse par visio: sed in homino et angelo possunt esse paria merita: ergo debet esse par visio. Ergo quantitas visionis debet sumi a lumine gloriæ quod datur secundum mensuram meritorum, non autem a perfectione intellectus, quæ non datur ex meritis. Et confirmatur, quia ponamus angelum et hominem habere æqualia merita.
Ch. xxxiii. section 10. F. Gaspar de Salazar. 3 Kings xix. 12: "Sibilus aurae tenuis." See St. Ch. xxxiv. section 1. St. John iii. 34: "Non enim ad mensuram dat Deus spiritum." See ch. xxxiii. section 15. St. Matt. xx. 9-14: "Volo autem et huic novissimo dare sicut et tibi." Ch. xiv. section 12.
Dierum spatia ultra nostri orbis mensuram, et nox clara et extrema Britanniae parte brevis, ut finem atque initium lucis exiguo discrimine internoscas. Quod si nubes non officiant, aspici per noctem solis fulgorem, nec occidere et exsurgere, sed transire affirmant. Scilicet extrema et plana terrarum, humili umbra, non erigunt tenebras, infraque coelum et sidera nox cadit.
Now Ambrose Paraeus convinced my father, that the true and efficient cause of what had engaged so much the attention of the world, and upon which Prignitz and Scroderus had wasted so much learning and fine parts was neither this nor that but that the length and goodness of the nose was owing simply to the softness and flaccidity in the nurse's breast as the flatness and shortness of puisne noses was to the firmness and elastic repulsion of the same organ of nutrition in the hale and lively which, tho' happy for the woman, was the undoing of the child, inasmuch as his nose was so snubb'd, so rebuff'd, so rebated, and so refrigerated thereby, as never to arrive ad mensuram suam legitimam; but that in case of the flaccidity and softness of the nurse or mother's breast by sinking into it, quoth Paraeus, as into so much butter, the nose was comforted, nourish'd, plump'd up, refresh'd, refocillated, and set a growing for ever.
Joseph, Avila, the first house of the Reformed Carmelites, here resumes that account broken off at the end of section 10 of ch. xxxii. Ephes. i. 14: "Pignus haereditatis nostrae." St. John iii. 34: "Non enim ad mensuram dat Deus spiritum." Ch. xxviii. sections 1-5. See ch. xl. section 24; Way of Perfection, ch. vii. section 1; but ch. iv. of the previous editions. See ch. xx. section 14.
But its connexion by que with immensus ultra, shows that it refers to position, and means lying opposite, i.e., belonging, as it were, to another hemisphere or world from ours; for so the Romans regarded the Northern Ocean and Britain itself, cf. A 12: ultra nostri orbis mensuram; G. 17: exterior oceanus. So Cic. This interpretation is confirmed by ab orbe nostra in the antithesis.
