26. Mirabile misterium:
In forme of bred, ys Godis son.
1
Man þat in erth abydys here,Thov mvst be-leve with-owten dere
In the sacrement of the auter,
Þat God made hym self at hys soper.
Mirabile!
2
Thowgh yt seme whit, yt ys rede;Yt ys flesshe, yt semyth bred;
Yt ys God in his manhed,
As he hong vpon a tre.
Mirabile!
3
Thys bred ys brokyn for you & me,Which priestis consecrate, as ye may se,
Which flesshely man in deite
Dyed for vs vpon a tre.
Mirabile!
