“…plague, and knowing how to bear infirmity:” to wit as having been set by the Father “for a stone of offence,” and “made a little lower” by Him “than angels,” He pronounces Himself “a worm, and not a man, an ignominy of man, and the refuse of the People.”” — editor's note: See Ps. viii. 5 (viii. 6 in LXX.) with Heb. ii. 5–9.
