Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible.

4.2 Quid est quod, etc. GREG. Moses, Judaicus populus; virga, Divinitatis potestas; serpens, Christi mortalitas: quia enim per serpentem mors, per serpentem mortalitas signatur. Vel quia scriptum est Matth. 10: Estote prudentes sicut serpentes; et quia summa prudentia, id est Dei sapientia, incarnata est: recte ejus mortalitas in serpente figuratur. Unde Joan. 4: Sicut exaltavit Moses serpentem in deserto, ita exaltari oportet Filium hominis. Moses virgam tenuit: quia Judaicus populus ante Redemptoris adventum in Dei potestate confisus est; in terram projecit, quia per patriarchas et prophetas Deum incarnandum nuntiavit; virga in colubrum vertitur, quia Christus Deus in se permanens, mortalis est in homine factus. Sed et Moses colubrum conspiciens pertimuit, et fugit, quia Judaicus populus dum Christum mortalem vidit, Deum credere expavit. Cui jubetur ut caudam teneat, quia populus qui modo credere recusat, in extrema corporis Dominici parte, id est, posteriore tempore Ecclesiæ, scilicet in fine mundi, sese ad fidem colliget; colubri caudam tenens, quia eum quem mortalem ante despexerat, in ultima parte Ecclesiæ Redemptorem suum confitebitur. Mox serpens in virgam redit, quia ut Judaicus populus in Christum crediderit, mox ad judicium in potestate divinitatis suæ apparebit: ut jam serpens virga sit: quia qui in terra homo despectus est, de cœlo veniens super angelos videbitur Deus. ISID. Serpens persuasit homini mortem. Mors ergo a serpente; virga in serpente, Christus in morte. Expavit Moses et fugit: mortuo enim Christo expaverunt discipuli a spe in qua fuerunt recedentes. Apprehendit caudam, id est posteriora, et factus est virga: quia primo occisus, postea patratis omnibus, ad id quod fuerat resurgendo reversus est, ubi per vitam morte consumpta, nihil in eo serpentis apparuit. Vel cauda serpentis, finis sæculi, quia sic mortalitas Ecclesiæ per lubrica tempora volvitur; alii eunt, alii veniunt per mortem, tanquam per serpentem, per quem mors seminata est: sed in fine sæculi, tanquam cauda, redimus ad manum Dei, et apprehensi reparabimur, et novissima inimica morte destructa, resurgentes in dextera Dei virga regni erimus.

4.2 What it_is quod, etc. GREG. Moses, Yudaicus populus; rod/staff, Divinitatis potestas; serpens, of_Christ mortalitas: because because through serpentem mors, through serpentem mortalitas signatur. Vel because scriptum it_is Matth. 10: Estote prudentes like serpentes; and because summa prudentia, id it_is of_God sapientia, incarnata it_is: recte his mortalitas in serpente figuratur. Unde Yoan. 4: Sicut exaltavit Moses serpentem in deserto, ita exaltari oportet Son of_man. Moses rod/staffm tenuit: because Yudaicus populus before Redemptoris adventum in of_God potestate confisus est; in the_earth/land proyecit, because through patriarchas and prophetas God incarnandum nuntiavit; rod/staff in colubrum vertitur, because Christus God in se permanens, mortalis it_is in homine factus. But and Moses colubrum conspiciens pertimuit, and fugit, because Yudaicus populus dum Christum mortalem vidit, God credere expavit. Cui yubetur as caudam teneat, because populus who modo credere recusat, in extrema corporis Dominici parte, id it_is, posteriore tempore Ecclesiæ, scilicet in fine mundi, sese to faith colliget; colubri caudam tenens, because him which mortalem before despexerat, in ultima in_part/partly Ecclesiæ Redemptorem his_own confitebitur. Mox serpens in rod/staffm redit, because as Yudaicus populus in Christum crediderit, mox to yudicium in potestate divinitatis suæ apparebit: as yam serpens rod/staff let_it_be: because who in earth/land human despectus it_is, about cœlo veniens over angelos videbitur God. ISID. Serpens persuasit homini mortem. Mors therefore from serpente; rod/staff in serpente, Christus in morte. Expavit Moses and fugit: mortuo because Christo expaverunt discipuli from spe in which fuerunt recedentes. Apprehendit caudam, id it_is posteriora, and factus it_is rod/staff: because primo occisus, postea patratis to_all, to id that fuerat resurgendo returned it_is, where through life morte consumpta, nihil in eo serpentis apparuit. Vel cauda serpentis, finis sæculi, because so mortalitas Ecclesiæ through lubrica tempora volvitur; alii eunt, alii veniunt through mortem, tanquam through serpentem, through which mors seminata it_is: but in fine sæculi, tanquam cauda, redimus to hand of_God, and apprehensi reparabimur, and novissima inimica morte destructa, resurgentes in dextera of_God rod/staff regni erimus.
