The trs. of this Sequence include:—
1. Purge we out the ancient leaven. By J. M. Neale, in his Mediaeval Hys., &c., 1851, p. 88, in 15 st. of 6 l., the text used being that in Daniel ii, 69. Interesting notes are added explanatory of various and in some cases obscure references in the sequence to figures applied by the early Fathers to Christ and His holy work; and also of the typical teaching of certain historical events recorded in Holy Scripture and referred to in the sequence.
2. Purge out the leaven old of sin. By E. H. Plumptre, made for and included in the Hymnary, 1872, in two parts of 7 st., and 2 additional stanzas to be sung at the end of each part. Pt. ii. begins "Shadows of good the law doth show." This rendering is less literal than Dr. Neale's, and the obscure passages are omitted. Dean Plumptre tr. from the Sarum Missal.
Other trs. are:—
1. Let the old leaven be purged out. By C. B. Pearson in the Sarum Missal in English, 1868; and his Sequences from the Sarum Missal, 1871.
2. Purge the old leaven out, that we. By C. B. Pearson in his Sequences from the Sarum Missal, 1871.
3. Purge the old leaven all away. By D. T. Morgan, 1871.
4. Purge away the former leaven. D. S. Wrangham, 1881.
