Comments:
I apologize for my inability to read the Latin at the beginning, but I took my best stab at it. I do have a personal goal of being about to read the old Latin, and I'm sure sometime I will find a template to help me understand the standardized language used in this example. I will fix it when I know more.

The question marks mean that I cannot read the word.
