Jesus verses (e)

[In the tercium principale, the preacher relates the Good Friday Passion hour by
hour; the last two hours discussed include English verse:]

[fol. 89] Hora 6a., quando Cristus fuit cum latronibus conclauatus, cum felle et
aceto saturatus, tunc clamauit ad huc voce alciori, sic dicens generi humano,
'deficit in salutare tuum anima mea' [Ps. 118:81]:

for thy sawle sauyng
my sawle makyt hijs endyng
[the verse is cited again as a tag, fol. 89v]

Hora 9a. ita alte clamauit ista philomena quod emisit spiritum. Sed quis tunc fuit
vltimus cantus huius philomene? Certe mirabilia testimonia tua, 'ideo s[crut]ata[48]
est eo anima mea' [Ps. 118:129], quasi diceret patri:

thy wondyrful wil & wytnesse
4 my sowle hath sowht in bitturnesse,

ita in amaritudine mortis, et isto modo philomena nostra mortua est….

 
[48]
