kin sal hin ouer-gon,’ GE 3004.
644. For #fin# read afin or in fin; the meaning will be, into his divine
presence at our ending. The original has ‘Celos ascendens, ubi regnat
cum patre presens, | Quem gentes cuncte sunt sic credendo secute:’ the
parallel passage in the description is l. 620. #godcundnesse# properly
means, divinity, divine nature, here apparently, the manifestation of
that divinity in heaven. For #fin#, death, comp. ‘Alle ðhe olde deden
ðor fin,’ GE 3852.
