Sabbatum Judaicum et Christianum. Luc. xiv. 5.
Res eadem vario quantum distinguitur usu:
Nostra hominem servant sabbata, vestra bovem.
Observent igitur, pacto quid justius isto?
Sabbata nostra homines, sabbata vestra boves.
The Judaic and Christian Sabbath.
How diff'rent grows a thing through diff'rent use!
Our Sabbaths serve men, yours give oxen truce,
Be this agreed—arrangement fitter none—
Our Sabbath men keep, yours oxen alone. G.
XLVII.
Ad verbum Dei sanatur caecus. Marc. x. 52.
Christe, loquutus eras, ô sacra licentia verbi:
Jamque novus caeci fluxit in ora dies.
Jam credo, Nemo[54] est, sicut Tu, Christe, loquutus:
Auribus? immo oculis, Christe, loquutus eras.
The blind cured by the word of our Saviour.
