The top margin has been trimmed, and some leaves show extensive erasure. See Denison University Leaf 37 for more information about this manuscript.

géntium dedit illi Dóminus, et testaméntum confirmávit super caput eius. Cognóvit eum in benedictiónibus suis, et dedit illi hæreditátem, et divísit illi partem in tríbubus duódecim. Magnificávit eum in conspéctu regum, et dedit illi coronam glorie. Státuit illi testaméntum sempitérnum, et dedit illi sacerdótium magnum, et beatificávit illum in glória. [2 sentences untranscribed.] [ ] ii.x.f.
Fratres. Qui gloriátur, in Dómino gloriétur. Non enim qui seípsum comméndat, ille probátus est: sed quem Deus comméndat. Útinam sustinerétis módicum quid insipiéntiæ meæ, sed et supportáre me: ǽmulor enim vos Dei æmulatióne. Despóndi enim vos uni viro, vírginem castam exhibére Christo. In Sancti Thomae. Ad Ephesios. ii.f.
Fratres. Iam non estis hóspites, et advénæ : sed estis cives sanctórum, et doméstici Dei

Brothers. [Ephesians 2:19] Therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners; but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and the domestics of God...
