Scripture echoes

  1. ↩Rev.14.11 — And the smoke of their torment rises forever and ever, and they have no rest day or night, those who worship the beast and its image, and anyone who receives the mark of its name.
  2. ↩Rev.14.11 — And the smoke of their torment rises forever and ever, and they have no rest day or night, those who worship the beast and its image, and anyone who receives the mark of its name.
  3. ↩Eph.4.18 — Their minds darkened in understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their hearts.
  4. ↩Eph.4.18 — Their minds darkened in understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their hearts.
  5. ↩Isa.48.4 — For I knew that you are stubborn, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your forehead is bronze.
  6. ↩Rom.1.28 — And just as they did not see fit to keep God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a disapproved mind, to do what is not fitting.
  7. ↩1John.5.16 — If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life — to those who sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death; I do not say that he should ask about that.
  8. ↩2Cor.6.15 — What harmony has Christ with Beliar? Or what share does a believer have with an unbeliever?

Notes

  1. 1 ↩Source ends with '4poc.'; read as the book citation 'Apoc.' (Apocalypse/Revelation), matching the following xiv. 11 reference apparatus.
  2. 2 ↩Source 'seternum' corrected to aeternum ('forever').
  3. 3 ↩Source 'cxcitate' corrected to caecitate ('blindness').
  4. 4 ↩Source '1v.' read as roman chapter 'iv.' in the Ephesians citation chain (Eph. 4:18).
  5. 5 ↩Source 'impeenitentiam' read as impoenitentiam ('impenitence'). Token 'molhltie' is severely corrupt; left unrestored (possible 'mollities'/'mollitie', or an adjacent petition fragment).
  6. 6 ↩Normalized corrupt 'ly xlviii.' as Is. xlviii. (Isaiah 48), the natural biblical locus for hardness (durus/durities); 'duritie' taken as duritie/duritia.
  7. 7 ↩Read 'cauterlata conscientia' as cauterata conscientia (seared conscience); '1 77m.' as 1 Tim. Leading 'j prs' is unintelligible OCR and was not translated.
  8. 8 ↩'dedolentia' is rare: want of grief / failure to feel sorrow (especially for sin). Rendered as 'having no sorrow' rather than generic hardness.
  9. 9 ↩Terminal 'Tif.' taken as Tit. (Titus).
  10. 10 ↩Initial Α is treated as Latin A/ab (“from”), matching the litany pattern in neighboring sections (A cauterlata conscientia… A reproba mente).
  11. 11 ↩Latin et in Spiritum Sanctum is taken, with the Vulgate blasphemy idiom (dicere/peccare in Spiritum Sanctum), as a second object of deliverance after ‘from the sin that leads to death,’ not as a freestanding creed fragment.
  12. 12 ↩Printed Matt. xii. 39 does not match the usual locus for sin/blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (Matt. 12:31–32); left as printed.
  13. 13 ↩Source is fragmentary: 'Propitius esto, : et'. The colon looks like structural/editorial debris, not spoken text; sense rendered as the litany petition 'Be merciful' plus connective 'and'.
  14. 14 ↩Fragmentary litany-style list after 'Libera nos, Domine.' Paleas/zizania likely evoke the gospel images of chaff and tares; a sinistris may mean the left side of judgment rather than merely 'sinister things.' Syntax is not fully governed in this section alone.
  15. 15 ↩Reading corrupt 'Bulhtionibus' as 'bullitionibus' (boilings), the most plausible sense beside Belial in a damnation catalogue; less likely is 'pollutionibus' (pollutions).
  16. 16 ↩Latin 'Rüctus' (likely 'Ructus') is taken as belching/eruption in a hell-torment list; if the intended form is 'Rictus', render instead as 'gaping' (jaws open in torment).
