WK Translation Notes

+
a
T. R. and some Edd. omit "a second," which many MSS. contain.
b
More than thirty MSS. do not repeat "fallen" as in the T. R. and other MSS.
c
The great majority of MSS. omit "city," which other MSS. and the T. R. insert. The Revisers rightly omit "city."
d
T. R. for "who" has "because."
e
The omission of the article "the," as in T. R., is unfounded, and due to Erasmus’ carelessness, for the Reuchlin copy before him had no such barbarism.
