For when the things which pertain to\r\nHis passion are prophetically spoken there also in the person,\r\nof Christ, that is mentioned which is unfolded in the Gospel:\r\n\"They gave me gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave\r\nme vinegar for drink.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_473_473\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_473_473\">[473]</a> And as it were after such a feast\r\nand dainties in this way given to Himself, presently He\r\nbrings in [these words]: \"Let their table become a trap before\r\nthem, and a retribution, and an offence: let their eyes be\r\ndimmed that they see not, and their back be always bowed\r\ndown,\"<a id=\"FNanchor_474_474\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_474_474\">[474]</a> etc. Which things are not spoken as wished for,\r\nbut are predicted under the prophetic form of wishing. What\r\nwonder, then, if those whose eyes are dimmed that they see\r\nnot do not see these manifest things? What wonder if\r\nthose do not look up at heavenly things whose back is always\r\nbowed down that they may grovel among earthly things?\r\nFor these words transferred from the body signify mental<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_209\">[Pg 209]</a></span>\r\nfaults. Let these things which have been said about the\r\nPsalms, that is, about king David's prophecy, suffice, that we\r\nmay keep within some bound. But let those readers excuse us\r\nwho knew them all before; and let them not complain about\r\nthose perhaps stronger proofs which they know or think I\r\nhave passed by.</p>","headings":["THE CITY OF GOD.","BOOK SEVENTEENTH.","ARGUMENT."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45305-paragraph-339"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"4fe160f5b13bf4bb0c3be534af5a176c5ff7a9fb8284873e323841019185755e","edition_title":"The City of God, Volume II","edition_translators":["Marcus Dods","George Wilson (Books XVII-XVIII)"],"edition_year":1871,"explicit_reference_candidates":[{"book":"PSA","chapter":69,"kind":"unreviewed","source_notation":"Ps. lxix. 21","verse":21,"verse_end":21},{"book":"MAT","chapter":27,"kind":"unreviewed","source_notation":"Matt. xxvii. 34","verse":34,"verse_end":34}],"headings":[],"id":"pg45305-Footnote_473_473","license_url":"https://www.gutenberg.org/policy/license.html","public_import_allowed":false,"record_kind":"original-editor-translator-note","review_required":["work and recension attribution","original-work chronology","Bible reference numbering and citation kind","English edition rights and attribution"],"review_status":"needs_review","rights_evidence":"Provider catalog reports public domain in the USA.
