Sword and death among the four scourges§1

1After famine and wild beasts come sword and death. Fear the sword over our figurative land — recall the flaming sword guarding Eden.

Latin · §1

Post famem et bestias pessimas restant romphaea et mors. Quis est gladius quem formidare debemus ne mittatur super terram nostram? Statuit igneam romphaeam Cherubin custodire viam ligni vitae.

Double torment of the burning blade§2

2A glowing blade cuts and burns at once. Pray we never must pass under it. Glory to Christ. Amen.

Latin · §2

Gladius acutus et candens dupliciter torquet. Caveamus ne per hunc gladium transeamus. Gloria Christo. Amen.
