The stage direction on this page, also from the first play, record in Latin that, after Adam's death, his son "Seth puts three pips into Adam's mouth". This is a key part of the 'Legend of the Rood' which runs through the Ordinalia. The tree that grows from the seeds appears in various guises until ultimately the wood is used to make the cross ('rood' in Middle English) on which Christ is crucified. Lucifer, Satan and Beelzebub all make appearances further down the page (left hand side) (f. 8r).
