Notes

  1. 1 ↩Source ends with 'om.'; in context of Rom. 8:16 (Spirit’s witness that we are children of God) this is almost certainly a corrupt abbreviation of Rom./Ro., matching the previous section’s 'Ro. viii. 26' pattern.
  2. 2 ↩Source has 'mysterüs' (read as mysteriis) and '32 Cor.' (read as 2 Cor.), matching 2 Cor. 1:22 on God sealing us and giving the Spirit as earnest; the next section heading 'Arrhabo' continues that theme.
  3. 3 ↩Normalized source reads 'experientiw'; translated as intended genitive experientiae ('of experience'). Arrhabo (ἀρραβών) is the biblical 'earnest/pledge' of the Spirit.
  4. 4 ↩Source reads 'lllustratio' (three l's); treated as corrupt for 'Illustratio'. Paired with 'Illuminatio' as near-synonyms for the illuminative stage, between neighboring 'Purgatio' and 'Roboratio'.
  5. 5 ↩Source 'Perduetio' is not classical Latin; almost certainly OCR/corruption of 'Perductio' (from perduco, leading through / conducting). Rendered as abstract 'Leading through' to match the neighboring list of Spirit operations (Purgation, Illumination, Strengthening, Adornment, Perfection).
  6. 6 ↩Source '1l.' is almost certainly OCR for list numeral '1.'; confirmed by the next section opening '2. Subministratio virtutis.'
  7. 7 ↩virtutis can mean strength/power or moral virtue; in this title-list of divine help, 'strength' is preferred over abstract 'virtue'.
  8. 8 ↩Source reads 'LGloria' with a stray leading L and a dangling quotation mark; rendered as Gloria nominis ('Glory of the Name').
  9. 9 ↩Source reads 'UInterventus'; stray leading U treated as Interventus ('intervention').
  10. 10 ↩charitatis rendered as 'love' per default charitas policy; in a formal prayer heading it may also be read as theological 'charity'.
  11. 11 ↩Trailing '— PA/.' is unintelligible (likely a printer/OCR artifact or unresolved cross-reference) and is omitted from the English surface.
  12. 12 ↩Latin viscera miserationum is the biblical idiom for God's inward compassion (often 'tender mercies' / 'bowels of mercies'); rendered as 'Tender mercies' for modern readability while keeping the mercies sense.
  13. 13 ↩Lone 'h.' looks like a truncated siglum, letter-reference, or OCR/print fragment; left as in source rather than expanded.
  14. 14 ↩antiqua is feminine adjective ('ancient' / 'of old'), almost certainly continuing the mercies series; 'of old' matches the usual biblical cadence for long-standing mercies.
  15. 15 ↩Source has abbreviated 'sal cxxx.'; read as Psal. cxxx (Psalm 130), matching the chapter's Psal./Eph. citation pattern in neighboring sections.
  16. 16 ↩Source is the Greek particle ἢ with a period, not continuous Latin; treated as residual 'or' between list items, but the reading is corrupt/fragmentary.
  17. 17 ↩Catchword mirifica (marvelous/wondrous); likely points to Ps 16:7 Mirifica misericordias tuas.
  18. 18 ↩Source Diviti: misericordie almost certainly corrupt for Divitiae misericordiae (riches of mercy); colon and -ie endings look like OCR/print damage to æ/ae.
  19. 19 ↩Source reading 'misericordiw' treated as a corruption of 'misericordiae' (of mercy).
