De emissione spiritus sancti. Paraclitus autem spiritus sanctus.

Paraclitus is as mych to say
As comfortour in this case,
which comfortour he send þis day
the Holy Gost all full of grace.
Gregory tretes opon this,
whi he ys cald comfortour,
& says, ‘whill gode hope in his hert is,
þai ben forgyfen monnes errour.
‘Of þinges þat he has don Amys,
Sodanly comes þat saueour
And preue wo in hert I-wis
wayues & sendes sum socour.’

Consolator spiritus dicitur, dum spem venie sperat, Ab omni afflictione mentem leuat, &c. Gregorius.
