Improve transcription of Christina Plantin's death, Sweden 1738

Question

I tried to transcribe Christina's death information, but I think I have some mistakes. Improvement help appreciated.

Note: transcription to help with is together with source in her profile.

Answer 1

I didn't notice any obvious mistakes. The first question mark is henne (really hene with a nasal/doubling line over the n), that is, eight children survive her. The second question mark seems to read hardt, which according to SAOB can mean "close to":

"1) (numera bl. ngn gg arkaiserande l. bygdemålsfärgat) alldeles; omedelbart, strax; i vissa adverbiella uttr.

a) i fråga om rum l. därur härledda anv.; äv.: tätt. Tompten ær belægh[e]n hart nidh[e]n ffor sa[m]ma huss. OPetri Tb. 6 (1524; uppl. 1929)."

Comments

Thank you very much Olov, I will add these words.

Do you understand what the part "a.f. 2 cor 5,1" means?

It's probably the Bible citation for her death ceremony,

"Awaiting the New Body

"5 For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands."

Ah, yes, that is actually a mistake!  :) Looking at the other examples on the same page spread, the "a.f." seems to be simply af. And the rest, as Christian pointed out, is a Bible verse, 2 Corinthians 5:1 (compare "Apoc. 14, 13", "Psal. 77, 2", "2 Tim. 1, 12", "Rom. 14, 7, 8" and "2 Tim. 3, 18" in the other examples, where the first is the Book of Revelations and the rest should be obvious from context).

Thanks both of you!
