I. On Repentance.

[9024] Because they see no visible proof of it.

[9025] Sæculo.

Chapter III.—Jesus Christ in His Incarnation and Work a More Imitable Example Thereof.

[9026] So Mr. Dodgson; and La Cerda, as quoted by Oehler. See Ps. cxxxi. 1 in LXX., where it is Ps. cxxx.

[9027] 1 John i. 1.

[9028] I have followed Oehler’s reading of this very difficult and much disputed passage. For the expression, “having been trained,” etc., compare Heb. v. 8.

[9029] Luke ix. 51-56.

[9030] Or, “yet had there been need of contumelies likewise for the undergoing of death?”

Chapter IV.—Duty of Imitating Our Master Taught Us by Slaves. Even by Beasts. Obedient Imitation is Founded on Patience.

[9031] “Obsequium,” distinguished by Döderlein from “obedientia,” as a more voluntary and spontaneous thing, founded less on authority than respect and love.

[9032] Obsequii.

[9033] “Pollicetur,” not “promittit.”

[9034] Obedientiam.

[9035] “Subnixis.” Perhaps this may be the meaning, as in Virg. Æn. iv. 217. But Oehler notices “subnexis” as a conjecture of Jos. Scaliger, which is very plausible, and would mean nearly the same. Mr. Dodgson renders “supported by their slavery;” and Oehler makes “subnixis” ="præditis,” “instructis.” [Elucidation II.]

[9036] Obsequii.

[9037] Pecudibus,” i.e. tame domestic cattle.

[9038] “Bestiis,” irrational creatures, as opposed to “homines,” here apparently wild beasts.

[9039] Obsequii. For the sentiment, compare Isa. i. 3.

[9040] Obsequii.

[9041] See above, “the creatures…acknowledge their masters.”

[9042] Obsequio.

[9043] Obsequio.

[9044] “Oblectatur” Oehler reads with the mss. The editors, as he says, have emended “Obluctatur,” which Mr. Dodgson reads.
