Treatise on the Morals and Discipline of Human Conduct

It is designated that whatever [number of] 120 [notes on the number?] cards is like a certain war that is waged between parties, and when playing through the laws of the cards, a transition occurs so that the parties who collect [the most] from the cards obtain the victory.
He has in the game—through which game or through the cards themselves—a way to serve as a soldier and to triumph. I understand that he who [lives in the light?] is serving as a soldier through the seven stages of good works, coming eventually into the house of peace, in which house he will be triumphant and [receive the prize?] of victory from the game by which [the world of life?]. 120 If the number sixty of the cards is half of the whole game, namely 120, the sum of the game begins and is shared; this number of mystery is also sufficient for great military service. For in [that] space of time, man first had [his limit] before the flood in the time of Noah 120; for his days were also [set] for man as 120 years original: "gn. 6"; a reference to Genesis 6:3, where God limits human life to 120 years before the Flood.. Under this same number were found the disciples with the women persevering together in prayer and receiving the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost; moreover, the crowd of people was about 120 original: "actuu[m]"; a reference to Acts 1:15, describing the early Christian community before the Holy Spirit descended..

...standing [ready], who now [speaks] through the holy [spirit]; the prophet Isaiah prophesied [and] regarding Joel it is said: "I will pour out my spirit upon the servants of God and the handmaidens" original: "effusu[m] sp[iritu]m... sup[er] servos dei et ancillas"; a quote from Joel 2:28, also cited in Acts 2:17., that is, upon the 120 believers. For that which [goes] from one up to fifteen, growing little by little and through increments, completes the number of fifteen steps, which in the Psalter The Book of Psalms

15 steps

is mystically designated. These 109 120 [were also in] the Temple of Solomon which was in Jerusalem; there were 15 steps by which one ascended to the temple, and when the singers proceeded solemnly, they began from the lowest and the [procession] ascended to the highest; and standing on each step they sang one of those 15 Psalms; thus of the 15 steps... These are the "Psalms of Ascent" (Psalms 120–134), traditionally believed to have been sung by Levites as they climbed the fifteen steps of the Temple in Jerusalem.
