homily
Description
The text is clearly a homily. The part that remains begins with a simple list of various evil deeds perpetrated by characters in the Old Testament. Some of these are obscured by mutilations of the text and some by strange spelling of proper names, but for the most part they are easily recognizable. Because of his wickedness, the homilist continues, the devil has gained the upper hand and seks to snare the unwary. But help is at hand through Jesus Christ, who has sown the good seed and multiplied the number of those who believe in him. He has poured upon us the water of baptism and we have received his body and blood. The sins of the world have been pardoned through the gifts of God.
