Leprosy and Pride Sermon on Naaman
A long, chaotic sermon-like narrative recounts Naaman the leper and a Hebrew captive as a preacher condemns pride and urges humility. It follows the Damascus passage, detailing the chariot procession, prophetic healing, and the crowd’s reaction as Naaman is cured. The piece blends biblical paraphrase with moral instruction and notes on public health and airs of the ancient tale.
