Then follows the Appendix of MS. Cott. Cal. thus:
Now haue we herde fayre and wele The vertue of seinte Gregories tren|telle. Who-so wille do hite parfitely He moste do more therto trewly. The preeste thate shalle this trentalle synge, Atte euche feste thate he dothe mynde He moste sey withe gode devocione Euery evyne the comendacione, Placebo & the direges he moste sey also, The soules to brynge oute of woo, And also the spalmes sevyne Thate helpethe to brynge the soule tille hevyne; ffor a-monge alle other they bethe gode To brynge the soule from helle flode; ffor euery salme dothe quynche a synne As ofte as any mane dothe them be|gynne And withe gode devocione seith þem to the ende: Then may the soules to hevyne wende. Therfore this salme[s] haue ye in thoughte. The xv salmes fore-yete ye noughte. The letany also ye haue in mynde— Loke thou leve hit not be-hynde; Withe gode deuocione thow hit saye, Ante to alle hallowne there-with to praye; Pray hem to helpe withe alle her myghte The soules to brynge to hevyne bryghte, There euer is day and neuer nyghte— Cryst grawnte vs grace to se thate sighte. Loke this be saide alle in ffere Euery day thorowe the yere And euery day [al. Neuer a] loke thou note for|yette, This is to say, loke thou note lette! Ine the evtas of euery feste Also longe as they do leste— viij. dayes mene calle the vtas— The preeste moste sey in his masse A nobylle orysone it his holde The Collett that I of firste tolde. And aftyr the fyrste orysone Ther is a noþer of grete Renowne Thate to the soules is wonder swete, Mene calleth hite the secrete. [Secrete: Omnipotens sompiterne deus (on the margin).] And whan the preste hathe sacred his masse And vside and his handis I-wasshe, An othere orisone he moste saye That in the boke fyndene he may, The post-comyne men dothe hit calle, [Post com.: Deus cuius misericordie (in the margin).] That helpethe soules oute of thralle; At [al. And] that this be done at euche a feste That the trentalle spekethe of mest and leste. Then may thou be sekyr and fulle serteyne To brynge the sowles oute of her payne To the Endles Ioye that lastethe aye— He vs graunte that fore vs dyede one gode ffrydaye. To that Ioye gode vs brynge Thate is Ine hevyne withe-oute End|yng. Pray we alle that hit so be, Amen amen pur charite.
Explicit sent Gregorys Trentalle.
