Translation

Excommunication

By the authority of almighty God the Father, and the son, and the Holy Spirit, and Saint Mary, all the saints and holy canons, excommunicate, anathematise and sequester those doers from the bounds of holy mother church. So be it.

Those who agreed to participate, and do not repent or give a satisfactory answer, so extinguish the light in front of their living ... for ages and ages.

Let it be done. Let it be done. So be it.
