     We will judge i.e. we faithful, angels, i.e. demons, i.e. because it were more reasonable for us to sin out of the brittle substance of the flesh which we have received, if we should sin, than it was for him [to sin] out of the subtle substance which he has received.

   • c. 800–825, Diarmait, Milan Glosses on the Psalms, published in Thesaurus Palaeohibernicus (reprinted 1987, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies), edited and with translations by Whitley Stokes and John Strachan, vol. I, pp. 7–483, Ml. 69^b1

     It is then that they will know that they are frail men, and it is then that they will praise God, when tribulations are inflicted upon them.
