A praier to the goode Angell.
O swete angell, to me soo deere,

ffull loueyngly with mylde moode,

By thy praier dayly haunted,
Yff it please thy holynes.

Whiles thowe with me dayly trauells
In this worlde of wyckednesse;
Sett me my peticions grauntede
By thy praier dayly haunted,
Yff it please thy holynes.
The versicull
O swete Angell, that keepith me,
Bryng me to blysse, I pray the!
Bryng me to blysse, I pray the!
