Hymns to John the Baptist and John the Apostle ask cleansing, healing, and vision of the Word
Baptist hymns beg pity, loosing of faults, and cleansing of polluted lips.
Apostle John is asked to lift plague and scandal and grant sight of the Word’s face.
Latin
LIV. Similiter his verbis incipit Hymnus quidam de Johanne Baptista, Baptista Christi inclyte, Qui Christum prodis indice, Nos miserando respice, Culpas solve nostras, Ablue. Et in alio Hymno ad eundem dicitur, Solve polluti labii reatum Sancte Johannes. Ad Joannem autem Apostolum haec habetur oratio: Te rogamus, te precamur, Sancte Dei Apostole, Tolle pestem, aufer ulcus, & foveto languidos: Pelle morbum, cede hostem, & remove scandalum. Et in alio Hymno Eidem Joanni dicitur, Te promis alme cordibus, Caeli senator poscimus: Da Verbi vultum cernere, Qui Verbum doces credere.
