i. THE PLENARY INDULGENCE once a month, on any one day, after Confession and Communion. Moreover, to those who should recite the said Hymn and Sequence as above on Whitsunday or during its octave, he granted
ii. THREE HUNDRED DAYS' INDULGENCE, and
iii. ONE HUNDRED DAYS' INDULGENCE daily, for every other day in the year.

Mentes tuorum visita,
Imple superna gratia,
Quæ Tu creasti pectora.
Altissimi Donum Dei,
Fons vivus, Ignis, Charitas,
Et spiritalis Unctio.
Digitus Paternæ dexteræ
Tu rite promissum Patris,
Sermone ditans guttura.
