In synge of thyn holy cros oure handis we make,
Besekyng thy mercy may upon us falle,
And why we ben thus met, yif it lyke, us lare.
Johannes. A! holy brether, alle welcom ye are:
Why ye be met here I schal you declare;
ffor Mary, Goddys moder, by message is sent,
That from this wrecchid world to blysse sche schal fare,
And at here deying sche desyryth to have us present.
Petrus. A! brother John, we may syhyn and care,
Xif it displese not God for these tydyngis ment.
