Hec de XpisZi natiuitate, passione, et resurrectione, atq ue secundo eius 
aduentu iam dicta, siunt ut, si quis in greco capita horum nersuum dis- 
cernere uoluerit, inuemet: Ihesits XpisZuc, Yos Theu, Sother; quod in 
latinum <translatis> eisdem versibus apparet pret er quod litteranm 
grecarum proprietas no n adeo potuit obseruari. 
Credo uos, o inimici ludei, tantis testibws obrutos cowfutatosqwe <esse> 
ipsa ueritate uZ nichiZ ultra repugware, nichiZ querere debeatis. T<u

The peculiarity of this version lies not so much in the elimination 
of the majority of the prophecies from the interior of the dis¬ 
course, as in the substitution for the usual introduction (Vos, 
inquam . . . verum sit) of the opening words (Int&r pressuras 
. . . usuris exigerem) of the Contra Judceos, Paganos, et Ari- 
anos Sermo de Symbolo , 67 
But aside from these differences in content, the sermon Vos 
inquam shows variations also in liturgical position . 68 We have al¬ 
ready observed its use as the sixth 69 or ninth 70 lectio in Matins of 
Christmas day. On the same day it sometimes served as the fifth 71 
or eighth 72 lectio. But it is found in Matins of other days as well. 
It served as the fourth 73 lectio, or as the fourth, fifth, and sixth 
65 For the repetition of this rubric I have no explanation. 
68 Followed immediately by the responsory Descendit de celis Deus.

, 71 That this was the use of Paris is shown by the following breviaries from
