48. #uisio pacis#: so Beda, vii. 262; Ælfric, Hom. Cath. ii. 66. #soð#, l. 50, is a mistake for sihð, repeated OEH ii. 53/20; it really translates pax uera; see 116/140. Comp. ‘sibbe gesihð Sancta Hierusalem,’ Crist, 50; BH 81/1. 52. #of þe calice#. At this period, the celebrant after the consecration of the elements kissed the chalice and then the Deacon, with the words ‘Habete vinculum pacis et caritatis’; the Deacon next passed on the kiss to the assistants and so to the congregation. See York Missal, i. 198, Zaccaria, Bibliotheca Ritualis, ii^2. cxlviii-cli. Ælfric calls the messe cos, ‘sibbe coss,’ Lives, ii. 46/699. 53. #þe folc sent#, dismisses the people, with the words ‘Ite, missa est’: a sufficient sense, but interposing awkwardly between ‘cos’ and ‘þer mide.’ Probably folc should be taken as dative, or folke should be read; and sends it to the people and thereby betokens &c. 56. #⁊ eft# should come before #of ierusalem#: the church is Bethphage when the procession goes out of it, but Jerusalem when it returns to it: see 83/37. 60-72. The interpretation is peculiar; in some points it resembles that of Hildebert of Tours, Migne, P. L. clxxi. 501. 62. #rideð#, clear the road; OWScand. ryðja; elsewhere in this text ruden; comp. ‘ich sende min engel biforen þine nebbe þe shal ruden þine weie to-fore þe,’ OEH ii. 133/27. #makeð--heorte#: comp. ‘ut Christo iter ad mentem parent,’ Hildebert. 64. #forbisne#: ‘virtutum suarum exemplis,’ Beda, vii. 263. 65. #þo þe leren#: ‘Hi sunt qui a sanctis patribus bona sumentes exempla, aliis etiam normam [bene] vivendi proponunt,’ Hildebert. 68. #quemende#: see 81/85 note. 69. #hereworde#: see 56/37. 72. #unwilliche# is an adverb; OE. #unwilsumlīce#; comp. 40/181 note. 73. #semeð#, burdeneth, as at 4/18. 74. #fuldon#, fulfil: comp. ‘dædbetan and þæt fuldon on þæs abbodes hæse,’ Benedictine Rule, ed. Schröer, 70/21. As it appears to be always transitive, the following hie, them, must be taken as its object, and shulen is without subject expressed. 79. Read #secla#. 82. #Hec# &c.: Ps. cxvii. 24: the Graduale in Old English and Roman uses for Easter Day. 84. #þonked wurðe him#, lit. be it thanked to him: comp. ‘we ahte . . . þonkien hit ure drihten,’ OEH i. 5/29. #þe . . . offe#, concerning which. 85. #Ecce# &c.: St. Matt. xxii. 4 adapted. 87. Morris alters #þe# to we, but the article is necessary, and the subject is often omitted by this writer; see 83/10, 85/105, 87/152, and 6/18 note. 88. #bord bugen#: so at 85/102, but ‘to godes bord bugen,’ 88/188: bugen, to bend one’s steps, to go, is elsewhere used with a preposition; either to has dropped out in these two isolated instances, or there has been some confusion in the writer’s mind with _begin_. 89. #Probet# &c.: 1 Cor. xi. 28. 91. #wurðe þer to#, fit for that: þer to replaces an older genitive, #ðæs wierþe#; comp. 86/142. 94. #Erest#, firstly: #oðer siðe#, 95, secondly; #þridde siðe#, 99, thirdly.
