NOTES

1. See Sermons 243; 246, 3; also Discourses on John 121, 3. This is hardly one of his best treatments of this point. It is not notable for clarity, and those who hadn't heard him on the theme before would not have come away very much the wiser.

2. audivit; presumably a form of the perfect of audeo, I dare, not mentioned by Lewis & Short. The correct form is the deponent ausus est. It is possible that popular Latin had produced a "regular" form, audui, auduir, and that the copyist unthinkingly changed this into the more familiar audivit, which is, of course, the ordinary perfect of audio, I hear.

3. The Latin just says propter caritatem, and this should, from the purely grammatical point of view, be the charity of the subject of the sentence, Saul. But that hardly makes sense; so it has to be Christ's charity. The charity he means, presumably, is that which makes Christ identify himself with his members.

4. See Phil 2:6-7.
