Vade dic volucri illi: petat ſibi ſignū in excelſum ſupra. Habet enī volucris nidum ſed ⁊ ſi in celū aſcēderit: illic eſtqͥ ſuꝑbis reſiſtēs: ꝓpria calcat ꝟtute ſuꝑborū ⁊ ſublimiū colla. Verūtamen diſſimulatille ptātis excelſe ſeu incomp̄henſibilis ꝓfūditatis ſapīe querere ſignū: ⁊ ꝓpterea ſignūbonitatis ⁊ charitatis domui dauid ipſe dominꝰ ꝓmittit: vt quos nec ptās nec ſapiētiaterruit alliciat ſaltē exhibitio charitatiſ. Poteſt tn̄ in eo ꝙ ait in ꝓfundū inferni etiā charitas ipſa qua maiorē nemo habuit vt in infernū qͦꝫ ꝓ amicis moriēdo deſcēderet nonīmerito deſignari: vt p̄cipiat̉ achaꝫ vel ī excelſum regnatis expaueſce̓ maieſtatē vel deſcendentis ad inferos amplecti charitatem.Moleſtꝰ eſt gͦ nō ſolū hoībꝰ ſꝫ etiā deo qͥſqͥſnec maieſtatē cogitat in timore: nec charitateꝫ amore meditat̉: Propter hͦ inquit dabitdn̄s ipſe vob̓ ſignuꝫ: in qͦ manifeſte ⁊ maieſtas ⁊ charitas īnoteſcat. Ecce virgo ꝯcipiet ⁊ pariet filiū: ⁊ vocabit̉ nomē eiꝰ emanuel: qd̓ interp̄tat̉ nobiſcū deus. Noli fugereadam qꝛ nobiſcū deus. Ne timeas o hō: necaudito dei noīe terrearis: qꝛ nobiſcū deus.Nobiſcū carnis ſimilitudīe: nobiſcū vtilitate. Propt̓ nos venit tanqͣꝫ vnꝰ ex nob̓: ſimil̓s. nobis paſſibilis.

Et iam hic bonū etmalū audis: ſicut in arbore vetita: ſicut in ligno tranſgreſſiōis. Sed multo meliꝰ a pͥmob ꝗdam: ſecūdus iſte partit̉.
