De psalterio passionis.

Wele is him þat wele can
Sai þe sauter of þe passion;
Here þus þou schalt begyn
In þe remission of þi synne.
Anima Christi sanctifica me,
Corpus Christi salua me,
Sanguis Christi inebrea me,
Aqua latris Christi laua me,
Passio Christi conforta me,
O bone Ihesu exaudi me
Et ne permittas me seperare a te,
Ab osti maligno defende,
In hora mortis voca me
Et pone me iuxta te
Vt cum angelis tuis laudem te
In saecula saeculorum, amen, pur charete.
Instid of þi pater noster þis þou take,
And þis þi aue fore Cristis sake.
O pendens dudum,
In hara crucis nudum,
Pro nostro scelere,
Ihesu nostri miserere. Amen.
57

And say on þi bedis in þis manere
As þou didist our lade sautere;
When þe sauter hit is e-done,
Þen say þi crede with hit anon;
Þen in þe worchip of Cristis passion,
Say þis hole oresoune.
O Deus qui voluisti
Pro redemcionem mundi
A Iudeis reprobare,
A Iuda traditory,
Osculo dare,
Vinculis aligary,
Et sicut agnus Innocens ad victimam, Eia!
Ante conspectum Anne, Cayfe, Pilate, et Herodis,
Indecenter offerri,
Falsis testibus accusary,
Flagellis et oprobryis vexare,
Spinis coronare,
Cholafijs cedi,
Clauis aculeys perforari.
O Deus qui voluisti
Pro redemc[i]onem mundi
A Iudeys reprobari,
A Iuda traditory,
Et sicut angnus Innocens ad victimam duci,
Ante conspectum Ann, Cayfe, et Pilati,
Et Erodes indecenter offerre,
A falsis testibus acusare,
Flagellis et oprobryis vexari,
Spinis coronari,
Sputis conspui,
Colaphijs aculeys perforari,
In cruce leuari,
58

Inter latrones deputare,
Felle et aceto potare,
Lance v[u]lnerare.
Tu, Domine, per has sanctissimas penas tuas quas ego indignus etiam recolo, et per sanctam crucem tuam, libera me de penis inferne et perducere me digneris indignum quo perduxisti latrone[m] tecum crucifixum: Qui viui[s] et regnas.
