- Edition notes: The time signature in the source is retorted time: the alto part is given in the alto clef in the source. Fragments of the first verse only of the text are underlaid in the source: this verse and three later verses from the text have been underlaid editorially. The bass E on beat 2 of bar 14 is printed as a crotchet in the source: other notes in this bar have time values as given here, and the corresponding bars at the entries of other parts (tenor bar 15, alto bar 16 and soprano bar 17) are as given here.
