II. ON THE MANUSCRIPT MIRACLES OF HENRY VI. There are two manuscripts of these Miracles, both in the British Museum. The first (Royal 13. c. viii.) is the parent of the other (Harley 423). 13. c. viii. is on paper, a fairly well written volume of cent. XV-XVI. It has the names of Abp Cranmer (Tho. Cant.) and Lord Lumley. It contains: 1. Letter from the Compiler. In Christo Ihesu salutem plurimam. Cum acceperis epistolam hanc, magister venerande ... _ends_: huius fructiferi palmitis Christi botris expendere non cessabo. Vale et ora ut tecum in eternum valeat tuus et orator et socius cuius nomen est in libro vite. No proper name occurs. 2. f. 1 _b_. Salutacio gloriosi militis Christi henrici regis Anglie sexti cum oraciuncula brevi. Salue miles preciose rex henrice generose Palmes vitis celice In radice caritatis vernans flore sanctitatis Viteque angelice Salue flos nobilitatis laus et honor dignitatis seu corone regie Pie pater orphanorum vera salus populorum Robur et ecclesie Salue forma pietatis exemplar humilitatis Decus innocencie Vi oppressis vel turbatis mestis atque desolatis Scola paciencie Salue fax superne lucis per quam serui summi ducis Illustrantur undique Dum virtute lucis vere meruisti prefulgere Tantis signis gracie Salue quem rex seculorum choris iungens angelorum Ciuem fecit patrie Te laudare cupientes hac ut semper sint fruentes Tecum vita glorie. Amen. _Vers._ Veniant ad te qui detrahebant tibi. Et adorent vestigia pedum tuorum. _Oracio._ Salus et saluator omnium in te credencium, piissime domine Ihesu Christe, qui dilectum famulum tuum regem henricum sextum variis tribulacionum pressuris opprimi voluisti, ut ex eius pacientissime et innocentissime vite meritis quasi quibusdam botris uberrimis copiosa tue gracie dulcedo per miraculorum gloriam distillaret in plebem: largire, quesumus, eos omnes qui tante eius glorie congratulantes aut illum propter te aut in illo te pocius glorificando dignis gestiunt collaudare preconiis ipsius beatitudinis consorcium et hic habere per meritum et in futuro consequi per effectum: qui cum deo patre et spiritu sancto viuis et gloriaris deus per omnia secula seculorum. Amen.
