[All]: The st. is a catalogue of the ignominies and torments suffered by Christ in the Passion (cf. Matt. XXVII; Mark XV; John XIX; the improperia ‘reproaches’ of the Good Friday Office). The opening ll. look as though they should follow st. 40/7-8. However, the transcriber may perhaps have taken them to refer to the arrest of Christ in Gethsemane, and placed the st. before st. 39 for that reason.
