Contra accidiam.

Slowthe þow moste to gode turne,
And þy pater noster say ȝerne,
In morowe & mydday & euentyde,
Wheþer þow go oþer þow ryde

To chyrche come ȝef þow may,
And here þy masse vche day,
And ȝef þow may not come to chyrche,
Where euer þat þow do worche,
When þow herest to masse knylle,
Prey to god wyþ herte stylle,
To ȝeue þe part of þat seruyse,
Þat in chyrche I-done ys.
