Saye
pater noster ȝit vp-standande
al þo tyme þo prest is wasshande,
Til after wasshing þo preste wil loute
þo auter, & sithen turne aboute.
Þen he askes with stille steuen
Ilk monnes prayers to god of heuen.
Take gode kepe vn-to þo prest,
when he him turnes, knoc on þi brest,
And þenk þen, for þi synn
þou art noght worthe to pray for hymm,
bot when þou prayes, god lokes þi wille,
If hit be gode, forgetis þin ille;
for-þi with hope in his mercie,
Answere þo prest with þis in hie:
