[From _Bodleian MS._ 15,846 (_Rawlinson Liturg._ D. 4), f. 130, a Sarum processional written in the fourteenth century and belonging in the fifteenth to the church of St. John the Evangelist, Dublin. A less good text from _Dublin, Abp. Marsh’s Library, MS._ V. 3, 2, 10, another fourteenth century processional from the same church, is facsimiled by W. H. Frere, _Winchester Troper_, pl. 26ᵇ, and printed therefrom by Manly, i. xxii. I give all the important variants of this version.] [709]Finito iij ℟ᵒ cum suo ℣ et G_lo_ria p_at_ri uenient tres p_er_sone in s_upe_rpell_iceis_ et i_n_ capis[709] s_er_icis capitib_us_ uelatis quasi tres Marie querentes Ih_esu_m[710], si_n_gule portantes pixidem in manib_us_ q_uas_i aromatib_us_, qua_rum_ prima ad ingressu_m_ chori usque sepulcru_m_ procedat p_er_ se[711] quasi lamentando dicat: Heu! pius pastor occiditur, Quem nulla culpa infecit: O mors lugenda! Factoq_ue_ modico int_er_uallo, i_n_tret s_e_c_un_da M_a_ria co_n_simili[712] modo et dicat: Heu! nequam gens Iudaica, Quam dira frendet uesania, Plebs execranda! Deinde iij Maria consimili m_od_o d_ica_t[713]: Heu! uerus doctor obijt, Qui uita_m_ f_un_ctis contulit: O res plangenda! Ad huc paululu_m_ procede_n_do prima Maria dicat[714]: Heu! misere cur contigit[715] Uidere mortem Saluatoris? Deinde secunda Maria d_ica_t[716]: Heu! Consolacio nostra, Ut quid mortem sustinuit! Tu_n_c[717] iij Maria: Heu! Redempcio nostra, Ut quid taliter agere uoluit! Tu_n_c se co_n_iu_n_ga_n_t et procedant ad gradu_m_ cho_ri_ an_te_ altar_e_ si_mu_l[718] dice_n_tes: Iam, iam, ecce, iam properemus ad tumulum Unguentes[719] Delecti[720] corpus sanctissimum [721]Dei_n_de proceda_n_t si_mi_l_iter_ p_ro_pe sepulchru_m_ et p_ri_ma Maria d_ica_t p_er_ se Condumentis aromatu_m_ Ungam_us_ corpus sanctissimu_m_ Quo preciosa[721]. Tu_n_c s_e_c_un_da Maria dicat p_er_ se: Nardi uetet commixtio, Ne putrescat in tumulo Caro beata! Deinde iij Maria [722]dicat per se[722]: Sed nequimus hoc patrare sine adiutorio. Quis nam saxum reuoluet[723] a monumenti ostio? Facto int_er_uallo, ang_e_l_us_ nix_us_ sepulcru_m_ apparuit[724] eis et dicat hoc modo: Quem queritis ad sepulcrum, o Cristicole? Deinde respo_n_deant tres Marie simul d_ice_nt_es_[725]: Ih_esu_m Nazarenum crucifixum, o celicola! Tu_n_c angelus dicet[726]: Surrexit, non est hic, sicut dixit; Uenite et uidete locum ubi positus fuerat. Deinde p_re_d_i_c_t_e M_a_rie sepulcru_m_ intrent _et_[727] inclinantes se _et_ prospicientes undiq_ue_ intra sepulcru_m_, alta uoce quasi gaudentes[728] _et_ admirantes _et_ paru_m_ a sepulcro recedentes sim_u_l dica_n_t[729]: Alleluya! resurrexit Dominus! Alleluya! resurrexit Dominus hodie! Resurrexit potens, fortis, _Christus_, Filius Dei! Deinde ang_e_l_us_ ad eas[730]: Et euntes dicite discipulis eius et Petro quia surrexit.
