Christ’s Sermon on the Mount.

A large decorative initial 'W' (translated from the German 'D' for 'Da') begins the text, decorated with floral and scrollwork patterns.

When JESUS saw the people / he went up onto a mountain / and sat down / and his disciples came to him.

And he opened his mouth / taught them / and spoke:

Blessed are / those who are spiritually poor / for the kingdom of heaven is theirs. Luke 6:20.

Blessed are / those who bear sorrow / for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek / for they shall possess the earth.

Blessed are / those who hunger and thirst for righteousness / for they shall be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful / for they shall obtain mercy.
