Folio 22 Verso
Compare Witnesses: •
Whan with his triumphes moost singuler glorious . •
My son had foughten with his bloode precious . •
Conquerid þe dragon for all his fel poste . •
And dryue hym home to his infernal hous . •
Whan fyrst my son was nailed to a tre . •
Lat euery man in þis matter take hede . •
And euery woman in þis worlde a lyue . •
Come nere to me to seen his woundis blede . •
His loue his deth his kyndnes to discryue . •
To se þe misteries of his woundis fyue . •
As bawme and triacle of moost souerynte . •
Clerely distillyng to fynde socor blyue . •
Downe fro my son nailed to a tre . •
Trust in his mercye and I will go be twene . •
And humbly knele be fore his face . •
ffor all mankynde be mediatrix and mene . •
Of synfull folke to releue þe trispace . •
That he with vengeaunce shall hem not manace . •
Like þeire demerites to shewe his crueltee . •
Bot shewe to þam his mercy and his grace . •
That for þere loue was nailed to a tre . •
