All ye erye worships ye everlasting fader:
Alle Aungels in hevens, and alle ye pours in yis world,

He likewise translated all the Psalms of _David_, as also the
_Collects, Epistles_ and _Gospels_ for the whole year, together with
the _Pater Noster_ and _Creed_; though there was then another _Pater

Breakspeare_ of _Abbots Langley_ in _Hertfordshire_, unto King _Henry_
the Second; which (for variety sake) we shall give you as followeth:

Ever in erth ben hit also,
That heli bred that lastyth ay,
Thou sende hious this ilke day,
