Res and simulacrum of cities and procession have been changed from outer senses to inner senses. 86 "When glossing and expanding the sequence ""Laudes salvatori voce"" , the gloss inverts the word order of the Latin original (""Famem pátitur : dormit et tristátur, ac lavat discípulis pedes: Deus homo, summus húmilis"" (Gregorian Institute of Canada, SM-06 Easter 806), starting with ""the highest God""."
