Homilies on Leviticus, Homilia VII · §5

The camel, rock-badger, swine

The camel chews but does not part; the swine parts but does not chew — unclean. One without the other fails. Faith with works.

Latin

Camelus ruminat nec findit; sus findit nec ruminat — immunda. Alterum sine altero non sufficit. Fides cum operibus.
