Notes

  1. 1 ↩Fragment continues the prior clause ('...and blessed be the name') and anticipates the next subject ('all the earth is His: so be it'). Full sense: blessed be the name of His majesty, and all the earth will be filled with His majesty.
  2. 2 ↩Source reads ommis; treated as omnis ('all').
  3. 3 ↩Printed line is a cut fragment of a continuous clause with the previous section (replebitur majestate Ejus omnis terra). Bracketed sense supplied from that clause so the English is readable; fiat rendered as the Amen-style close 'so be it.'
  4. 4 ↩Source 'cxiü.' read as Roman numeral CXIII (113); the ü is treated as a typesetting/OCR artifact for iii.
  5. 5 ↩Citation reads as verse 29, but the following Latin matches the familiar 'Sit nomen Domini benedictum...' line usually numbered as Ps 112:2 (Vulgate) / Ps 113:2 (Hebrew), not v. 29. Left as printed.
  6. 6 ↩Leading pipe '|' treated as layout/rubric markup and omitted from the English. Clause is incomplete in this section; it continues in the next section ('et usque in saeculum').
  7. 7 ↩Latin 'sceculum' is treated as 'saeculum' (age/eternity); the spelling looks corrupt or OCR-damaged.
  8. 8 ↩Source reads “zech.” In this citation line, that is most plausibly a damaged abbreviation of Ezech./Ezekiel (matching the following verse from Ezek. 3:12), not Zechariah.
  9. 9 ↩Source “ài.” is almost certainly a misread Roman numeral (iii.) for chapter 3, parallel to “iv.” in the following Apocalypse citation.
  10. 10 ↩Single-word section (Quod) between “Gloria, honor, et benedictio,” and “et virtus,”; most natural as a relative (“which”) continuing the doxology, but the split leaves the full clause incomplete.
  11. 11 ↩Bare citation abbreviation (v.), almost certainly a verse/book siglum standing with the following numbers rather than free prose.
  12. 12 ↩Numeral citation only (likely verse or chapter–verse references attached to the preceding 'v.').
  13. 13 ↩Source reads 'vit.' after 'Et fortitudo, et potestas,' in the previous section; most plausible intended word in this attribute chain is 'vita' (life).
  14. 14 ↩charitas rendered as 'love' per default lexeme policy; 'charity' is also possible if the theological virtue is meant.
  15. 15 ↩Source is heavily OCR-damaged: 'BEt lans; Sanctz et individu:ze "Trinitati,'. Reconstructed as 'Et laus Sanctae et individuae Trinitati,' (alternatively liturgical 'Sit laus…'). Continues into the next section's 'in saecula saeculorum. Amen.'
  16. 16 ↩Source 'in secula szeculorum' is a corrupted form of the standard liturgical formula 'in saecula saeculorum'; rendered in its intended sense.
  17. 17 ↩Source reads preeditus; translated as praeditus, ‘endowed with’ (most plausible intended form).
