cross is all set on the paten, and the upper part is inclined on the left
hand, as was said : Inclinato capite tradidit spiritum.
18. The arrangement of the confraction at Easter and Christmas': thirteen particles in the stem of the crosses, nine in its cross-piece, twenty particles in its circle- wheel™, five particles in each angle, sixteen both in the circle and in the body of the crosses, that is, four for every part. The middle particle is that to which the masspriest" goes i.e. the figure of the breast with the secrets. What is from that upwards of the shaft to bishops : the cross-piece on the left hand to priests : that on the right hand to all subgrades ; that from the cross-piece down to anchorites and penitents: that which is in the left upper angle to true young clerics: the right upper to innocent children; the left lower to folk of repentance, the right lower to folk lawfully married and to those that go not before to communion
19. This is what God deems worthy, the mind to be in the symbols f. 66a of the mass, and that this be thy mind : the portion of the Host which thou receivest (to be) as it were a member of Christ from His Cross, and that there may be a cross of labour on each (in) his own course, because it unites to the crucified Body. It is not meet to swallow the particle 40 without tasting it, as it is improper not to seek to bring savours into God's mysteries. It is not proper for it to go under the back-teeth, (this) symbolizing that it is improper to dispute overmuch on God's mysteries, lest heresy should be increased thereby.
Finit. Amen. Deo gratias. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]
