[1334] Or, “in all the years:” but see note 5 on this page.
[1335] Mundo.
[1336] Mundo.
[1337] “Artusque sonori,” i.e., probably the arms and hands with which (as has been suggested just before) the sufferers beat their unhappy breasts.
[1338] i.e., the “guerdons” and the “threats.”
[1339] “Ipsa voce,” unless it mean “voice and all,” i.e., and their voice as well as their palms.
[1340] See note 1, p. 137.
[1341] Here again a correction suggested in Migne’s ed., of “suam lucem” for “sua luce,” is adopted.

[1352] i.e., with the Holy Spirit, the “Pledge” or “Promise” of the Father (see Acts i. 4, 5), “outpoured” upon “the peoples”—both Jewish and Gentile—on the day of Pentecost and many subsequent occasions; see, for instances,Acts x. and xix.
[1353] The “mirandæ virtutis opus, invisaque facts,” I take to be the miracles wrought by the apostles through the might (virtus) of the Spirit, as we read in the Acts. These were objects of “envy” to the Enemy, and to such as—like Simon Magus, of whom we find record—were his servants.
[1354] i.e., excommunicated, as Marcion was. The “last impiety” (extremum nefas), or “last atrocity” (extremum facinus),—see 218, lower down—seems to mean the introduction of heretical teaching.
