Quicumque hanc salutacionem in honore saluatoris per xx dies continuo deuote dixerit, Bonefacius quartus concessit omnibus vere confessis et contritis plenam remissionem omnium peccatorum et hoc scriptum est apud Romam in ecclesia Sancti Petri coram altare saluatoris.

Salue! I say, hole face of our Saueour,
In þe wyche schynþ to vs an heuenly fygure,
An graceus on to se.
Salue! þou settis þi prynt on lynin cloþ of witle coloure,
And betoke hit Veroneca fore loue and gret honoure
Vpon here sudore.

Salue! þe fayrnes of þis word a myrrore of hole men,
Þat dissiren fore to se heuen spirit hen,
In heuen on hie.
Salue! delyuers vs fro þe bond o wyckidnes of syn,
And ioyns to þe compane of þo þat hole bene,
Fore þi mercy.
Salue! our ioy here in þis lyuf graunt vs of þi grace,
Ȝif we fal þroȝ frelte, foreȝif vs our trespace,
Lord, we þe pray.
Salue! led us to þat cuntre þat hole fygur in was,
Þat we may se of Ihesu Crist His clene, pured face,
Fore euer and fore ay.
Salue! we now þe beseche be our helpe in euere place,
And be our sokore and refyte and alle our solas,
Lord omnipotent,
Salue! lest he vs nuye grimsli, our enmy Satanas,
And graunt vs al þi merce in heuen to haue a plas,
To-fore þi iugement.
Signatum est super nos lumen vultis tui domine Dedisti leteciam in corde meo. Oremus collecte.
Deus qui nobis signatum vultis tui memoreali tuum ad infanciam Veronece ymaginem tuam sudareo impressam relinquere voluisti per passionem et crusem tuam tribue vt iam nu[n]c in terris per speculum in enigmate ipsam venerare honorare adorare valiamus vt te tunc Iudicem super nos venientem facie ad faciem se cum videamus Dominum nostrum Ihesum Christum filium tuum. Amen.
I pray ȝow, syrus, boothe moore and las,
Syng þese caroles in Cristemas.
