I will go and salute him, good morrow sir Iohn, Naw bay may Priest hade God give ye ten far e'en, Do you Master Parson in this Parish sing? Yai sir that ay de, give yowll give me troothing, I have a commission your house and Church to seek, To search if you any seditious Books do keep. When ay? well a near ay swear bay the Sacrament, Ay had rather han a cup of nail than a Testament. How can you without it your office discharge? It is the least thing ay car far bay may charge, Far se lang as thea han Images wharon te luke, What need thea be distructed awt af a Book. Tush that will notify them all well enough, As well a dead Image as a dumb Idol I make God avow, Yai, ay my son, bay experience thot con show, Far in may Portace the tongue ay de not know, Yet when ay see the great gilded letter, Ay ken it sea well, as nea man ken better: As far Example, on the day of Chraistes Nativity, Ay see a Bab in a Manger, and two Beasts standing by The Service whilk to newyear's day is assigned, Bay the Picture of the Circumcision ay feigned. The Service, whilk on twelfth day must be done, Ay seek bay the mark of the three kings of Colon. Bay the Devil tenting Christ, ay feigned whadragesima, Bay Chraist on the Cross, ay search out good frayday: Pasch for his mark, hath the Resurrection, Against haly Thursday, is pented Christ's Ascension, Thus in main own book, ay is a good clerk, But give the scents war gone, the Cat had eat my mark See the sundry mairacles, while ilk Sent have done, Bay the Pictures on the walls shall appear to them soon Bay the whilk thea are learned in every distress, What Sent thea must prea te far succour doubtless: Sea that all Lepers te Sylvester must pray, That he wawd free tham, their disease take away. Layk ways, thea that han the falling sickness, Te be eased therfre, thea mun pray to St. Cornelis: In contagious air, as in plague or pestilence, Te haly Sent Ruke, thea must call far assistance. Fra peril of drowning, Sent Carp keep the Mariners Fra dayng in warfare, Sent George guard the Soldiers, Sent Iob heal the Pox, the Ague, Sent Germayne, Far te ease the toothache, call te Sent Appollyne, Give that a woman be barren and childless, Te help her herein, she must pray to St. Nicolas. Far women in travail, call to Sent Magdalene Far lawlyness of mind, call te Sent Katherine, Sent Loy save your Horse, Sent Anthony your Swine. What? this Parson, seemeth cunning to be, And as far as I see, in a good uniformity: Yea, he is well red, in that golden Legend.
