(b) From the spoile] From captiuity saith the * 1.1 Hebrew: all this is meant of Christs leading the people captiue, his high and sacred ascen∣tion, and the taking of captiuitie captiue. Hierome. (c) With a rope of hayre] With a rope onely * 1.2 say some: and his asses colte vnto the best vine, saith Hierome from the Hebrew. And for this Asses colte (saith he) may be read the Citty of God, (whereof we now speake) the seuentie read it 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉: to the vine branch, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 is the twist of the Vine as Theophrastus saith: and thence haue * 1.3 the two kindes of luy their names. Diosor. Plin. so might cilicium come into the Latine text that Augustine vsed, if the Greeke were translated Helicium, otherwise I cannot tell how.
