(a)4:12
That seeing they may see, etc: in punishment of their wilfully shutting their eyes, (St. Matt. 13. 15,) God justly withdrew those lights and graces, which otherwise he would have given them, for their effectual conversion.(Challoner)
(b)4:19 The word ‘saeculi’ can mean many different things in different contexts; there is no one English word that even comes close to equating to ‘saeculi’. It can refer to the future, to the distant past, or to a generation of people, or to a lineage throughout numerous generations, or to the world. In this context, the word refers not to the future or the past, but to the world, or more specifically in this verse to worldly tasks.(Conte)
(c)4:20 The word ‘unum’ is translated as ‘some’ instead of as ‘one’ in order to avoid confusion with the numbers 30, 60, and 100.(Conte)
