(pœnituit him that of_men I_didsset in/into/on earth/land. And tactus pain of_the_heart intrinsecus, )

6.6 Pœnituit eum quia, etc. GREG., Moral. lib. 5. Plerumque in sacro eloquio sapientes Dei consilium trahunt a sapientibus sæculi. Sic nunc, pro utilitate hominis, vocem in se passionis humanæ ipse conditor hominum sumit, cum constet quia qui cuncta, priusquam venerint, conspicit, nihil fecerit quod pœnitendo resipiscat. Ut ergo mirum non est, si spirituales plerumque utantur verbis carnalium, sic neque mirandum si ipse creator omnium, ut carnem pertrahat ad intellectum suum, in seipso carnis sermonem servet vel sumat.
