FOOTNOTES.
Reading edition
“Touching these words, I do not find that any expositor, either ancient or modern, Popish or Protestant, writing on this place, doth expound the cross here mentioned of the sign of the cross, but of the profession of faith in Him that was hanged on the cross.”—Mayer’s Commentary. 1631.
“This is rather to be understood of the cross which Christ suffered for us, than of that we suffer for Him.”—Leigh’s Annotations. 1650.
“The eye of faith regards Christ sitting on the summit of the cross, as in a triumphal chariot; the devil bound to the lowest part of the same cross, and trodden under the feet of Christ.”—Bishop Davenant on Colossians. 1627.
