Folio 23r
Commemorations of the saints, continued.
Saint Christopher.
Hymn, Tu Ihesus es testis.
A hymn commemorating St Christopher (AH, 33, p 67). Where he is remembered,
hunger, plague and unrighteous death will not hold sway. No man or beast, as
Christ himself said, carried a greater burden. Whoever keeps and venerates St
Christopher's image will not suffer a sudden death or a long illness; therefore
one is to model one's life on him.
Tu Ihesus es testis ubi Christoforus\ memoratur,
Vix fames <famis> aut\ pestis mala mors ibi non do\minatur.
Non homo nec pe\cora qua <quaevis> subeunt graviora\
Sic <Hoc> dedit absque mora vox sic sibi Christus in ora <Christus
sibi mortis in hora>.\
Christofori sancti speciem quacumque die revereris.
Certus\ habeto diem subito qua <quod> non morieris.
Christofori\ sancti speciem quicumque tuetur.
Illo nempe die nullo\ languore gravetur <tenetur>.
Pensa qui transis hinc <tu>\ Christoforus pius an sis.
Si non fac ut sis Christum <ipsum>\
