Still all this for us. His head bled for the wicked imaginations of our heads. His face was besmeared with spittle, because we had spit impudent blasphemies against heaven. His lips were afflicted, that our lips might henceforth yield savoury speeches. His feet did bleed, that our feet might not be swift to shed blood. All his members suffered for the sins of all our members: and that our members might be no more ser vaunts to sin: but dservants to righteousness, unto holiness. eCon sp•i voluit; ut nos Lavaret: velari voluit, ut velamen ignorantia a mentibus nostris […]: in capite percuti, ut corpori sanitatem restitueret. He would be polluted with their spittle, that he might wash us: he would be blindfolded, that he might take the veil of ignorance from our eyes. He suffered the head to be wounded, that he might renew health to all the body.
