Benedictus dominus deus meus, qui docet [MS. doceȝ] manus meas ad prelium, & digitos meos ad bellum. [Ps. 143 (144).]

                  
                      Aue de qua nascitur puer Naȝareus,

                      Vite spem concipiens gaudet homo reus,
                    
                    Voce clamans: "libera benedictus deus."
