Such a fact, if established, would account for the transparent looseness of construction, the deep religious feeling, the reticence and restraint, the apparent confusion of one of the players at once with the apostle, the parish priest, and the actor--and much else. The original is almost devoid of punctuation; the modernised text conforms in that respect to present-day standards. The names of the speakers are likewise not always consistently given in the old copy; they are now standardised. _Latin Quotations and Origins_: It is thought convenient, in respect to this play, to group these as follows:--"_Domine, ante ... absconditus_" (351,_b_), "Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my groaning is not hid from thee" (Psalm xxviii. 9): in original _a te_ is omitted after _Et_ in second line--_Beati_ _.. . Domine!_" (352,_a_), "Blessed, O Lord, are they that dwell in Thy house" (Psalm lxxxiv. 4)--"_Qui_ _cum Deo Patri_" (352,_a_), "Who with God the Father," the beginning of an ascription or gloria--"_A_ _poena et culpa_" (352,_b_), from penalty and fault: part of the Latin absolution--"_Nec te collaudas_ _.. . ipse_" (352,_c_), the sense is, "You will not be blamed so long as you don't extol yourself"--"_Qui_ _se collaudit_" (352,_c_), "Who praises himself"; probably from same source as preceding--"_Responde,_ _tunc. .. clericorum_" (352,_d_), "Answer then, master, doctor of the clergy"--"_Sursum_ _corda_" (353,_a_), "Lift up your hearts"; from the office of the mass--"_Via recta_" (354,_a_), "the right way"--"_Spes mea. .. via recta_" (354,_a_), "My hope stood in the right way" (or way of righteousness): several passages like this in sense appear in the Psalms, but none exactly parallel--"_gratia_ _electi_" (354,_b_), "chosen by grace"--"_via obliquia_ _.. . circularis_" (354,_c_), "the crooked way and circular way": no doubt scriptural--"_omnes iniquo_ _in circuitu impii ambulantes_" (354,_c_), _iniquo_ in original reads _iniqui_, which I take to be a misprint: it now reads, "all the ungodly walking in the ungodly path" (or path of ungodliness): probably from the Psalms--"_Ab aquilone. .. omne malum_" (355,_a_), "from the north is spread every evil": a parallel passage is found in Jeremiah iv. 6, "I will bring evil from the north," etc.--"_Fumus_ _tormentorum. .. secula seculorum_" (355,_d_), in original _fumus_ reads _finit_, most likely a misprint: the passage as it now stands is intelligible, "The smoke of their torment ascendeth for ever and ever; a quotation from Revelation xiv. 11--"_Septum_ _.. . mors_" (355,_d_), _Septum_ conveys the idea of a surrounding fence or hedge (cf. 355,_a_ and _b_), "the enclosing (or surrounding) master of sin is death; but?--"_administrate. .. comfortate nos_" (356,_c_), dog-Latin: "administers, restores,
