IN NATALI CONFESSORIS ATQUE PONTIFICIS.

Statuit ei dominus testamentum pacis et principem fecit eum ut sit illi sacerdotii dignitas in aeternum. Ps. Misericordias domini.

Lectio sapientiae Ecce sacerdos... qui conseruaret...Cognouit eum... (187)...testamentum sempiternum...suauitatis". Ecce sacerdos magnus qui in diebus suis placuit deo. Non est inuentus similis illi qui conseruaret legem excelsi. Alleluia. Inueni dauid seruum meum oleo sancto meo unxi eum.

Secundum Mathaeum. In illis: Dixit dominus iesus discipulis suis parabolam hanc.

Homo quidam peregre proficiscens...Similiter qui duo... (187 v.)...supra multa...domini tui. Offert. Veritas mea et misericordia mea cum ipso et in nomine meo exaltabitur cornu eius. Com. Beatus seruus quem cum uenerit dominus inuenerit uigilantem amen dico uobis super omnia bona sua constituet eum.

Secundum Mathaeum. In illis: Dixit dominus iesus discipulis suis7. (188) Vos estis sal terrae....ut uideant uestra opera....in regno caelorum 8.

2 Opposite this (Luke vi. 17) ‘Secr,' pencilled.

3 Opposite this, in pencil, 'Postcomm. Praesta nobis.'

4 Opposite this, in pencil, 'Oratio. exaudi.' This covers the beginning of a pencilled marginal note, in ten short lines, almost obliterated. But I can just decipher 'Exaudi.. q.. n . . sancti. N... is tu... solem....... eius . . . . . . at... absolue. per.' See in Pio-Clementine the Second Mass in the Commune Conf. Pontif.

Opposite the concluding words of the lesson (from Ecclus. xliv.) is a marginal memorandum, in ink, of four short lines :--'Alleluia. Iustus germin. sicut lilium et florebit in eternum ante dominum.' Immediately under it, in pencil, ‘inueni dauid.' Below this again is 'uel [?] . . . .'

Opposite this (from Matt. xxv.) a marginal addition, all but obliterated, in five lines. There remains 'Da quesumus omnipotens deus . . . . . . ssoris tui' and, three lines lower down, 'omnibus.' Over all this are two more recent notes, 'Secreta. Munera' and 'Postcomm. praesta.'

7 Under this, in lower margin, 'Adiutor [?]. . . . . Et exaudi domine preces nostras.'

8 This passage 'Vos estis... regno caelorum' fills the recto of fol. 188. Over against the first line is an abbreviated memorandum, in pencil, which I think may mean 'Hic non.' A little below it, in vermilion and black ink, 'Quere in fine libri euvangelium uigilate : quia nescitis.' A little below the middle point of the lateral margin a note in five short lines has been erased; on the erasure, in vermilion and black, there is 'Quere euvangelium videte uigilate. in principio libri Kal.'

9 This Mass begins on the first ruled line of fol. 188 v. The upper margin carries, in pencil, 'Adesto domine precibus nostris quas in sancti confessoris tui. N. solennitate deferimus. ut qui nostre iusticie fiduciam non habemus... qui tibi placuit precibus adiuuemur. per.'

10 In ink, on lateral margin, ‘Sacerdotes tui domine induant iusticiam et sancti tui exultent propter dauid seruum tuum non auertas faciem christi tui. Ps. Memento domine dauid.'

dictionibus dulcedinis posuisti in capite eius coronam de lapide pretioso. Vitam petiit et tribuisti ei (189) longitudinem dierum in seculum seculi. Alleluia. Iustus germinabit sicut lilium et florebit in aeternum ante dominum. Alleluia. Amauit eum dominus et ornauit eum stola gloriae induit eum.

Secundum Mathaeum. In illis: Dixit symon petrus...possidebit1. Posuisti domine in capite eius coronam de lapide pretioso uitam

petiit a te tribuisti ei. Veritas mea. Beatus seruus quem cum uenerit dominus inuenerit uigilantem amen dico uobis super omnia bona sua constituet eum. Libri sapientiae. (189 v.) Iustum deduxit...affuit: et honestum... Custodiuit eum... maculauerunt eum...aeternam : dominus deus noster.

Secundum Lucam. In illis: Dixit dominus iesus discipulis suis. Nemo ascendit (190) lucernam...Vide ergo : ne...illuminabit te.

IN NATALI PLURIMORUM CONFESSORUM. Sapientiam sanctorum narrant populi et laudem eorum nuntiat aecclesia nomina autem eorum uiuent in seculum seculi. Ps Exultate iusti in domino.

1 In lateral margin a pencilled 'Grad.' Traces under it of, possibly, 'Memento domine dauid.' Below it 'offertorium,' and again 'postcommunio.'

2 This 'a' carries an accent in the MS.

3 This (from Wisdom x.) is the first word on fol. 189 v. The upper margin has, in pencil, 'Officium Iustus ut palma. oratio. adesto domine.' The lateral margin has, fully written, on six lines in its upper portion, 'Desiderium animae . . . pretioso' and 'beatus seruis' [?]. In the middle of the lateral margin are traces of an erased note in ten lines, the first of which carried 'Beat . . . of... s inter' [?]; the second 'quesumus'; the sixth and seventh 'omnipotens deus . . . . imple' [?]. The last three lines of the erasure are overlaid by the following, in ink, in seven lines:-'Grad. Os iusti meditabitur sapienciam, et lingua eius loquetur iudicium. Vers Lex dei eius in corde ipsius et non supplantabuntur gressus eius. Alleluia. Amauit.' The rubricated capitals of the text were put in after these notes had been written in the margin.

↑ Opposite this (from Luke xi.) in pencil, 'Off. Desiderium'; and, in ink, 'Desiderium animae . . . . precioso,' in eight lines. Under it 'Com. Beatus.'

5 Opposite this (from Wisdom v.), in ink, 'De confessore et uirgine,' followed by 'Qui seminant... semina Vers Venientes. . . manipulos suos.' fully written.

Opposite this (from Luke xii.), in pencil, 'Secreta. Suscipiat.'

7 Opposite this, in nine lines, in pencil, written in full, a few letters lost here and there, Deus qui inter cetera' &c., as on MS. foll. 79 and 143.

8 This word carries an accent in the MS.

9 Opposite this (from Ecclus. li.), a pencilled note, 'alia epistola domine deus meus.'

erasure of note, in ink, of eleven lines.

Below it, blank

1 'Specie tua. speciem tuam.' On erasure, in a later hand. A pencilled note in lower margin has 'veni ... cta m. st. p. t. i. t. m. quia con. r. s. t.'

2 A pencilled note, in three lines, in the upper margin of fol. 192 v. carries the following::-'Deus qui beatam N. uirtute fidei et decore pudicicie pollentem celestia uirginem et martirem fecisti intrare: eius intercessionis opere tribue nos semper gaudere per. Indulgentiam n. d. b. N. virgo et Martir imploret quae tibi grata extitit et merito castitatis et tue professione uirtutis. Per.' This Gospel is from Matt. xiii.

In the upper part of lateral margin, in seven lines, 'Afferentur regi proxime ei of. t. i. 1. et e: adducentur in tem. r. O. Com. Simile est r. ce. ho. ne. q. bo. mras. in. una. pr. ma . ded. omnia sua et com . eam.' 3 By an economy of lineation by which the page has twenty-one lines of writing instead of twenty, this Communion in 2 lines of writing has been accommodated in a space meant for a line and a half. The writing may be that of the second text on 163 v.

4 Opposite this, in pencil, in seven lines, 'Exaudi nos deus salutaris noster ut sicut de beate . N . uirginis tue festiuitate gaudemus ita pie deuotionis. . a... . per.'

5 'Christo' added by later hand.

6 'Dilexisti... leticie.' By later hand, on erasure. There are traces of vermilion under 'iniquitatem,' and of coloured 'P' under 'te.'

7 Opposite last line of fol. 192 v., pencilled note. It may be a carelessly written 'offertorium.'

8 In upper part of lateral margin of fol. 193 v., in twelve lines, in pencil, 'da quesumus omnipotens deus

ut intercessione beate uirginis tue .N. et a presentibus liberemur periculis et tuo semper munimine protegamur. per, deus qui nos sancte uirginis tue tribuis communicare memoria eius nos fac semper gaudere suffragiis. per.' 'Diffusa... in eternum.' On erasure. The lateral margin has 'Com. diffusa est.'

10 Accent in MS. on first syllable of 'consequi.'

1 Accent in MS. on 'a' and on second syllable of 'eligere.'

2 'gratia... mulieribus,' on supernumerary line at head of page.

3 This rubric is written slightly below a blank erasure extending over the first line of the original ruling of the page. The lateral margin has a note, in ink, 'S. lucam.'

+ Com... gratia] By another hand, on erasure. What follows-'Gaudeamus' &c.-is in quite a different handwriting.

5 Grad.... deest ti] This is on line 1. The original line 2 has been erased to make way for 'mentibus... nationes et' in a crowded line and a half; 'dominabuntur' &c. is on line 3. There are traces of vermilion in the erasure.

6 Here the Gospel is cut short abruptly at the end of line 20.

What follows is outside the ruling.
