Ff. IV. 9.

A folio, on paper, 106 leaves, of which 83 have double columns of 50 lines each, and the remainder single columns of about 35 lines each written in two different hands of the latter part of the xvth century.

1. A COPIOUS EXPOSITION OF THE LORD'S PRAYER, Or SPECULUM VITE, in English verse, including the VII gyftes of the holy Gost,' the VII vertues,' &c.

Begins (fol. 1a):

Almyghty God that is in Trinite
In whom oonly are persones thre
Fader and Sone and holy Goost

That ar oo God as we trow most.

The work was originally written in a foreign tongue, and the following reasons are assigned for publishing it in the vernacular :

Some can frenssh and no latyn

That han vsed courtys and dwelled theryn;
And some can off latyn a party
That kan frenssh full febelly;
And some vnderstondeth Englyssh
That neyther kan latyn ne frenssh;
But lered and lewed olde and yonge

All vnderstondyn Englyssh tonge.

After fol. 36 a different piece (§ 2) intervenes. The writer concludes (fol. 836) in asking all persons to pray for him who 'turned thys booke into Englyssh tonge :'

To whyche blysse he vs brynge soone
That on crosse for vs wolde be doone.

Amen.

See the remarks on Ii. 1. 36, Ll. 1. 8. § 1, which are other copies of the same work.

2.

'PROVERBIA CATONIS,' so reads the colophon; an English paraphrase on what were called CATO'S DISTICHS.

Begins (fol. 84a):

I complayne me sore when I remember me
The sodeyn age that vppon me is falle

More I complayne my myspente juvente

The wichee is impossible ayein to kalle.

This copy differs considerably from that in Ee. iv. 31, § 2, and has two stanzas more at the conclusion.

Ends (fol. 106 a):

Here haue I founde y' schall you gyde and lede
Streyte to good fame and leue you in her hous.
