Summary
The four-part verses in 1 are sufficiently different to warrant printing one of them in its entirety. The text seems corrupt in bar 3: the Eb in the bass part, on which the ‘high g’ ornament should be founded, does not arrive until the ornament is virtually finished. Note the long slur with the dot over bar 3, no doubt an indication of a kind of pause.
