After this folowith Laudate dn̄m de celis / then a chapiter without boke of the appostle / an ympue and a versicle / be∣nedictus with an anteme / than kyrieleyson and the preces / and so it is thende / But at the ende of euery matyns or lau∣des and euensong: a pater noster shalbe sayde alowde of the prioresse / so that all the quere may here it and that for thex∣chuenge of dissencions and debates / malices / greues / and grudges the whiche be wonte often tymes to sprynge / by cause that the mynchins monisshed throwgh the promyse of the peticion of the pater noster / wherin they say. Goode lorde forgiue vs our trespas as we forgyue other / may pur∣ge theym selfe from the same faute. In all other howres of diuine seruice there shall no more be sayd alowde of the pa∣ter noster / but Et ne nos / so that all the quere may answere Sed libera nos.
