But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men. |
Notes:
In the Potawatomi text, letters in brackets could not be read with certainty. Words added to the English translation are enclosed in brackets. The Jesuits constructed an elaborate orthography that utilized diacritical marks extensively. Occasionally, more than one such mark was associated with a single letter. In that event, the second diacritical mark follows the letter with which it is associated in the manuscript. Similarly, when the html symbol set does not include the letter/diacritical mark combination, the diacritical mark is inserted after the letter. In chapter 22, verse 18, /enemę¨kasoũe¯g/ demonstrates both of these situations. | |
[1] | V. 8: /dimittendi peccata/ is a Latin phrase meaning to renounce sin. |
