Notes
- 1 ↩Source is OCR-corrupt: 'timetis cum' read as 'timetis eum'; 'pusilli e£ magni' as 'pusilli et magni'; trailing '“ρου.' treated as non-Latin junk and not translated. Sense follows Vulgate Rev 19:5: Laudem dicite Deo nostro omnes servi ejus: et qui timetis eum pusilli et magni.
- 2 ↩Source reads 'Eece'; treated as intended 'Ecce' (Behold).
- 3 ↩Source reads 'laerymam'; treated as intended 'lacrimam' (tear).
- 4 ↩Source reads '4poc.'; most plausible as OCR/corruption of the biblical book abbreviation 'Apoc.' (Apocalypse), given the preceding Revelation wording.
- 5 ↩Roman numeral 'xxi.' treated as chapter number 21 in a biblical citation (Apoc. xxi).
- 6 ↩Numbers left as in the source. With the preceding text they most naturally mark Apocalypse citation coordinates; '9, 4' may be a witness/printing oddity or mis-segmentation (the quoted wording is classically Rev 21:3–4).
