gignimus omne malum proprio de corporenostrum, ut genuit David, alias pater optimus, unum crimen Abessalon; taetrum pater ille, sed unum, innocuas inter suboles genuit patricidam, ausus in auctorem generis qui stringere ferrum (a pietas!) signis contraria signa paternis egit et unius commisit sanguinis arma.
We beget all our sin from our own body, just as David, who was otherwise blessed as a father, begot the one guilty Absalom. In that instance a father begot, among his innocent children, a horrid patricide, but only one, who dared to draw the sword against the author of his being (alas, for filial duty!), set forces in motion against his fathers, and fought against his own flesh and blood.
