nota de mirabilibus mundi.

Narrat solinus de mirabilibus mundi de quadam [folio 103] aue, que in nido suo facit duo foramina, vnum versus orientem, et aliud versus occidentem, vt per primum cicius videat solem de mane, & per 2m diucius de sero. Et per primum exit de mane, & per secundum intrat sero. Spiritualiter auis iste est quili|bet fidelis qui sibi facit duo foramina in nido, 1. in corde suo, & in prima porta orientali, per quam ingre|ditur mundum, inuenient tres 'welcomeres' horribiles, videlicet.

Welcomers: nuditas; Fletus; debilitas;

Anglice: nakednesse; Reminge; feblesse;

Vel aliter sic quilibet intrat per portas, scilicet, nasty; sory; vnmiȝty; Et certe clamat .A. quod est primum nominis Ade; in qua litera sunt Anguli ad designandum tria incomoda, que quilibet nostrum incurrit quando noscitur; vnde quilibet nostrum quando flet & clamat, .A. quasi dolens, diceret in Anglico sic, videlicet,

Vt pro isto dici potest istud psalmi: "In peccatis concepit me mater mea." iob., etc.
