Prince of Tyre — not a mere man§1

1Lament the prince of Tyre — no mere man: placed with the cherub in Eden. Read with Daniel’s prince Michael and Paul’s glory to all who do good.

Latin · §1

Plangitur princeps Tyri; non putandum hunc hominem esse. In medio Cherubin nullus hominum creatus, in paradiso Dei nutritus. Quis iste? Daniel: princeps Michael; Apostolus: gloria omni operanti bonum.

Pharaoh too; invisible princes§2

2Likewise weigh Pharaoh king of Egypt among invisible rulers, not flesh alone. Glory to Christ. Amen.

Latin · §2

De Pharaone rege Aegypti retractemus — principes non corporeos. Gloria Christo. Amen.
