      The fragment was part of a larger dialogue poem similar to the Martijn poems by Jacob van Maerlant. The exact order of the fragments is unknown, but De Pauw presumes the following order based on the topics:

      • Trinity of Humanity (Will, Memory, Mind)
      • Trinity of Divinity (Virtue, Wisdom, Love)
      • Three main virtues (Faith, Hope, Love)
      • The seven sacraments
