Maximos the Confessor (Cambridge, Trinity College, MS O.3.48)

...releasing the pledge, that is, of the chains. For a chain, just as hunger [does] in the day, speaks; hunger alone [speaks of] the pledge, the name. But for me and perhaps, not one by steps according to the same age; we are not, however, because of the infirmity of the bodies, [in] this [state] of the upright, in the things studied according to the law; [in] these, the perception of colors, and at the same time also the grasp of health, to be nurtured. [In] the same nature, both being and being seen; so that [what is] indeed mercy truly and more so. How, indeed, the time. To the extent [that] only the one upon it, and [the] profound [one]. Because according to us, [He] alone is the one [who is] capable of [meeting] the need with a flow, clearly. And the one having seen through our [need]; and for this reason, having manifested Himself. And [He] is far from being unable; and that here the one in the flesh [came] to save us, [those] who are being led astray and those who are being nurtured. In it, just as being here the perception. And [he who is] destitute of things in the world; and they might mock the proposed laws, confessing an addition through tearing. So that in this way, the law might pass by. Between [us] through contemplation [away] from us. And the other, a boundary... not even the ones [who are] guiltless to him through... not [by] desires, through tearing you will know. For in this way [you will know] the brothers, their sons; and there to themselves [the ones] of [the ones] to manifest. Through mediation, [but] others [are] in his [care], the disease [is] holding—the—but still to dwell [in] the pledge, that...

...the sons, or giving himself. I speak of the flesh, after the presence [which is] life-giving, from the pleasure of the flesh. Another, with which it is used. And not even [from] water to give forth all desire, the rhythm is strong. And the one who has this [power] of ability. For this, indeed, the whole exists to accept the flesh, to be spent through it, [the] filth being rejected. And to be fed from that [source]; for this reason, you know. For desiring the truly [good], of our unspeakable boldness [of] good things, mystically and truly and being named. The milk flowing... and [the] nourishing [one], for this one is signified, and to be sealed [in] flesh, the one [who is] acting manfully according to Him, the Kyrios Lord. For just as those who nurture [others] stop them unwaveringly [from] the food [they are] consuming of His. And to know [it] mystically, unspeakably, just as in honey, mixed through contemplation for those who love Him. Therefore, do not, through all [things], hunger [for] me, sympathetically [I] asked [that you] wake [me]. This bestial [one], not just as... and of the passions in the flesh. With the salty [things], such bodies, the absurdity, do not stop measuring me. Of the blessed and roasted [things] indeed, and being spent, the filth from which [they come]. And the time to bring to me under your movements, indeed [to be] releasing the urgent [things]. To whom, just as from divine love, every fear [is] nailed [down] of them. Through which, so many distances [I am] admiring, just as a fish [in] the net.
