That my hert may wake in the, thow my body slepe.

Here the aungel bryngyth manna in a cowpe of gold lyke to confeccions, the hefne syngynye, the aungel seyth,

Merveyle not, mekest maydone, of my mynystracion,

I am a good aungel sent of God alle-myght,

With aungelys mete ffor ȝour sustentacion,

ȝe to receyve it ffor natural myght;

We aungellys xul serve ȝow day and nyght:

Now fede ȝow therwith in Goddys name.

We xal lerne ȝow the lyberary of oure Lordys lawe lyght,

ffor my sawys in ȝow shewyth sygnes of shame.
