Read the original Latin

Quoniam ad Te clamavi tota die. Quousque irasceris super orationem servi Tui ? Omne debitum dimisi tibi, quoniam rogasti Me. Matt. .

Quia dimittimus.

Dimittite et dimittemini; Luc. vi. 37. Et cum stabitis ad orandum, dimittite, siquid habetis adversus aliquem, ut et Pater vester, qui est in ccelis, dimittat vobis peccata vestra. Quod si vos non dimiseritis, nec Pater vester, qui in

colis est, dimittet vobis peccata vestra.

Quia proponimus deinceps. Concupivit anima mea desiderare justificationes 'Tuas omni tempore. Levabo manus meas ad mandata Tua, qu: dilexi. Ver. 48. Vovi, et firmiter statui, ut custodiam mandata Tua. Ver. 60.

Qui volunt timere nomen Tuum. Ne. 1, 1l. Servus plectetur qui neque preeparavit,

neque fecit.

EX PARTE CONSEQUENTIS MALI.

Nihil commodi.

Quie utilitas in sanguine meo, dum, descendo in corruptionem ?

Nunquid confitebitur "Tibi pulvis,

  2. ↩Luke.6.37 — Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
  3. ↩Luke.6.37 — Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

Notes

  1. 1 ↩Bare gospel citation label after the Matthew 18 debt-forgiveness line; left as the source abbreviation, not expanded into a full verse reference.
  2. 2 ↩Source sentence is only a stray period; no lexical content to translate.
  3. 3 ↩Isolated citation fragment: Latin vi. is the Roman-numeral chapter of the Luke reference begun in s1 (Luc. vi. 37).
  4. 4 ↩Isolated verse number completing the citation Luc. vi. 37 from s1–s2.
  5. 5 ↩Source reads ccelis; translated as caelis, 'heaven'.
  6. 6 ↩Section ends mid-clause; neighboring PrecesPriv.1.160.4 continues with colis est, dimittet vobis peccata vestra (i.e. caelis est…).
  7. 7 ↩Source reading 'colis' is almost certainly a corruption of 'caelis' (heaven), completing the prior clause 'qui in … est' from Mark 11:26; rendered on that corrected sense.
  8. 8 ↩Short transitional clause; may be a truncated rubric introducing the following petitions.
  9. 9 ↩Latin justificationes is the Vulgate psalter term for God's ordinances/statutes (not forensic 'justification'); rendered 'statutes' for modern clarity.
  10. 10 ↩Stray apostrophe before Tuas treated as OCR noise.
  11. 11 ↩Source 'qu:' read as quae ('which'); almost certainly OCR truncation of the relative pronoun.
  12. 12 ↩Abbreviation Ver. almost certainly means Verse/Versicle, paired with the following number.
  13. 13 ↩Abbreviation Ver. almost certainly means Verse/Versicle, paired with the following number.
  14. 14 ↩Standalone Ne. is almost certainly a broken fragment (negative particle 'lest/that…not', or a mis-split liturgical cue). Neighboring sections show Ver./number labels; sense cannot be fixed from this token alone.
  15. 15 ↩Printed '1, 1l.' looks like a damaged verse/citation numeral (most plausible intended form: 111.), parallel to Ver./48./60. markers in the previous section.
  16. 16 ↩Source spelling preeparavit taken as praeparavit ('prepared'). Sentence is incomplete as printed; next section continues neque fecit.
  17. 17 ↩Fragment continuing the prior clause (PrecesPriv.1.160.6.s4: 'Servus plectetur qui neque preeparavit,'). Reads as the second limb of Luke 12:47–type wording: neither prepared nor did (his master's will).
  18. 18 ↩Source reading 'Quie' is treated as 'Quae' (what/which); the line matches the familiar Vulgate psalm wording.
  19. 19 ↩Source is a truncated psalm line ending mid-clause with an orphan quote mark before Tibi; rendered as the open interrogative continued in the next section (aut annunciabit veritatem Tuam?).
