Haydock's commentary
Buying. This regards magistrates, who must correct such frauds. Greek, "of the money (Calmet) to purchase from merchants." (Haydock)
We may examine whether the coin be good, and strive to get things as cheap as we can.
Bleed. Great severity was formerly used, chap. xxx. 12. (Calmet)
