καί, ἡμᾶς τῆς πικρᾶς ἐκείνης αἰχμαλωσίας ἀνασωσάμενος, τὴν προτέραν ἀπέδωκε φιλαγάθως ἐλευθερίαν, καί, ὅθεν διὰ τὴν παρακοὴν ἐκπεπτώκαμεν, ἐκεῖ πᾶλιν διὰ φιλανθρωπίαν ἡμᾶς ἐπανήγαγε, μείζονος ἡμᾶς ἢ πρότερον τιμῆς ἀξιώσας.
Jacobus Billius Prunaeus, 1577 A.D., Migne no. 73, col. 450b1-450c1
nosque acerba illa captivitate liberatos in priorem libertatem, pro sua erga nos bonitate, restituit, (450c,1) eoque rursum unde nos inobedientia exturbaverat, ob suam erga nos humanitatem, reduxit, majoreque quam antea honore prosecutus est.
G.R. Woodward, H. Mattingly, 1914
he rescued us from that bitter captivity; he, of his goodness, restored to us our former freedom, and, of his tender love towards mankind, raised us up again to that place from whence by our disobedience we had fallen, granting us even greater honour than at the first.
