[1088] Ps. cxvi. 7, 8 (vg.).--The printed text has, in place of the bracketed words, "and so forth." The threefold deliverance obviously corresponds to the threefold rejoicing mentioned below, sin being substituted for death in the description of it, because "the death of the soul is sin." [1089] Luke xxiv. 29. [1090] Cp. Ps. cxvi. 8. [1091] Ezek. xviii. 4. [1092] Rom. vii. 17, 20. [1093] Ps. cxvi. 8. [1094] For other comparisons of Malachy with Elijah, see _Life_, § 23; Serm. ii. § 8. [1095] 2 Kings ii. 13. [1096] Gen. xxxix. 12, 15 (vg.). [1097] 2 Kings ii. 11. [1098] Cant. i. 3, 4. [1099] It is plain from § 7 that this sermon was preached on an anniversary of Malachy's death, _i.e._ on November 2, in a year later than 1148. I put it in 1149 because of its striking coincidences with the _Life_, which was written early in that year (see p. lxv). There is also a possible echo (§ 3) of _De Cons._ i. which belongs to the same year (_P.L._ clxxxii. 723). These, together with two coincidences of phrase with other writings of St. Bernard, are pointed out in the notes. See _R.I.A._ xxxv. 260 ff. [1100] 2 Cor. v. 6. [1101] Rom. xii. 15.

[1132] The story is told much more fully in _Life_, §§ 58, 59; where there are many similarities in phraseology to the present passage. In both places it is connected with the miraculous blinding of the king, immediately preceding it here, immediately following it there. [1133] Ps. lxxxvi. 5 (vg.). [1134] Cp. the description of Malchus, _Life_, § 8: "He was reverenced by all, as the one father of all"; and of Malachy, § 33: "the loving father of all." [1135] Matt. xxiii. 37.
