Panem nostrum cotidianum da nobis hodie.
Geue us þis day oure euery dayes brede, Line 57 Oure bodily sustynaunce and gostely also, That wheþer we be a-lyue or dede Oure gostely fode with us may go To make us stronge a-ȝenst oure fo, Line 61 Euer vpon us þat lythe in a-wayte To take þi children with hokes and bayte. Line 63
Et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut & nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
And also, fader! forȝeue oure dettes, Line 64 To al oure dettours as we forȝeue; And when oure enemye wil caste his nettes To cacche þi children,-ȝeue hym no leue. Suffre us neuer þe for to greue, Line 68 Forȝeuyng al þat ys done before; And grawnt us grace to greue þe nomore. Line 70
[folio 4] Et ne nos inducas in temptacionem.
And lede us not, fader! in-to temptacion, Line 71 Ne suffre us neuer to falle þer-ynne. The fende bryngeth us fals delectacion; Our flessh is redy euer to synne; The worlde is besy us for to blynne. Line 75 When þer temptaciones meueth our entent, Suffer us neuer to graunt nor consent. Line 77
Sed libera nos a malo.
But, fader! delyuer us from al ylle Line 78 Thorgh þese peticiouns þat ihesus vs taught, And suffre oure sowles neuer to spylle For whom þi sone so manly hath faught. And in oure batayle ȝif we be caught Line 82 Raunsom us, fader! with mercy and grace, And bryng us al to þi blisful place. Amen. Line 84
