        (Natale Innocentium)

        [R./A. Coronauit eos dominus coro]na iusticie quia passi sunt pro domino et seq[uuntur] [a]gnum; v. Amauerunt Christum in vita sua ambula[bunt mecum] in albis quia digni sunt. Quia pas(!)*; R. Centu[m quad]raginta quatuor milia qui empti sunt [de terra] hi sunt qui cum mulieribus non sunt coin[quinati] virgines enim permanserunt <under the modern label: ideo regnant> [cum de]o et agnus dei cum illis; V. Hii empt[i sunt ex] omnibus primicie deo et agno et more ipsorum/  

        * The scribe probably conflated the first part of this verse with the end of the successive responsory.
