O ble~~ed & maruelous natyuyte
Of goddes ~onne in dyuynyte
Welcome be this ble~~ed fe~te

In tyme of peace this chylde was born

To ~aue mankynde that was forlorne
For kynge of peace he is truly
O ble~~ed. &c.

Full of grace and dyuynyte
And ~he a mayden neuer the le~~e
And ~o was neuer non but ~he
O ble~~ed. &c.
Therfore pray to that lorde
And to his mother that mayden free
To make vs wy~e in worde & ded
To pray~e & plea~e his deyte
O maruelous. &c.
Finis.
