(1) All the Doxologies except (12) and perhaps (16) are closed by
jAmhvn . Notice (15), (16).

(2) They exhibit singular variety in detail. Two only are substantially identical in form; (1), (4). Compare also (2), (8).

(3) Three are directly addressed to Christ; (8), (12), (14), and possibly also (9), (10).

(4) In one case the verb is expressed in the indicative (10). In some cases the phrase appears to be affirmative; (7), (11), (12): in others it appears to be precatory; (3), (5), (13). In most cases it is difficult to determine which interpretation is most natural.

(5) In two cases the ascription of glory to God is made through Christ;
