Haydock's commentary
These plants.
And of. Greek, "Of these the maker of ointments shall compose a mixture and his works are not yet finished, when peace (health) from him appears on the face of the earth." (Haydock)
Diseases flee before him; so powerful are his medicines, that the very smell effects a cure.
