Edition notes: The voice parts are not named in the source, but appear to be in the order Tenor - Alto - Soprano (Air) - Bass, with the Alto and Tenor parts printed in the treble clef an octave above sounding pitch: the air and bass parts are bracketed together, and the bass line is figured. The parts have been given here in their usual order, clef and octave. Two minor changes have been made to the figured bass in this edition: the natural sign applying to the 4th above the E on the second half of beat 2, bar 3, is given in the source beside the figuring '6' applying to the following note, and the 3 on beat 2 of bar 4 is given in the source as a duplicated '5'. The fermatas shown on beats 3 and 4 of bar 13 in each part in this edition are indicated in the source by a single fermata in each part, positioned between the two notes or rests. Only the first stanza of the text is given in the source: subsequent stanzas, as indicated by the tune's heading, have here been added editorially.
