18. In die natiuitatis

O clauis Dauid inclita
Dans viam in portis
Educ nos de carcere
Et de vmbra mortis
O clauis

[ut supra]

O Dauid thow nobell key
cepter of the howse of israell

269

Thow opyn the gate and geff vs way
and saue vs fro owre ffendys ffelle
We be in prison, vn vs haue mynde
And lose vs ffro the bonde of synne
ffor that þou losest no man may bynde

[bis]

And þat þou losest may no man bynde
Lord bowe thyn yer to the we calle
Delyuer þou vs ffro wyckednesse
And bryng vs to thy ioyfull halle
Wher euer ys lyff with owten desstresse.

Trouloufe Ihon [and] Smert Ric.
