Help deciphering please

I don't profess to be computer whizz even after all these years but I have managed to post
more of the page

Not sure why it stopped me previously but who cares.
I hope this will offer more clarity.

Thank you all again for your help and interest.

Could it be something Poison??

Gee I hope not.

I noted the writer or writers have misspellings mistakes in a few places.

The words between age and corps seem to be a cause of death in other cases - so possibly "elect poison"    meaning elective or deliberate poisoning

Thanks for posting the wider area from the page.

After comparing the letter forms and reading most of the page, I can't add anything to what has already been posted - it's written Elict pasion either as one or two words, and is the cause of death when written between the age and Corps.

it's written Elict pasion either as one or two words, and is the cause of death when written between the age and Corps.

I agree.

elicere (Lat.) can mean 'to draw out' or 'extend'
passio, passionis (Lat.) means 'suffering' or 'endurance'

So I wonder if it is just a way of expressing 'after lengthy suffering' ?

I'm sure you have the explanation, Bookbox.

The "causes of death" are very much of an everyday, non medically-skilled nature, so this fits perfectly, while also fitting with the writer being a Latin speaking clergyman.

Well done Bookbox, your suggestion makes a lot of sense. I think you've cracked it
