Regnabat regnorum pietas Edgarus, Anglici orbis basileus, flos antecessorum regum candidissimus, etate quidem ut puer Domini Salomon adolescens, sed Salomonis prudentia...-- (tr.) Annus iam tercius decimus ab obitu sacre uirginis recondiderat terre illud aureum uasculum diuine habitationis, cum tandem placuit Domino gratiarum tam preciosum...
EXPLICIT
(vi.) ...Quibus omnium Domino annumeratis, hic libellus secundatur gratia lectoris in preconium uirginee eleuationis cum probatissimis uirtutum sequentiis.-- (tr.) ...gratiarum actio celebratur, plebs letatur unanimis, adoratur Deus ab omnibus, qui in sanctis suis gloriosus apparet et mirabilis, cui est honor et gloria in secula seculorum. Amen.
