O God the father of heauyn which art the euerlastyng lyght,Haue mercy on the sowl of me,* 1.1 poor Water Knyght.Who departyd this lyf the monyth of Ianuary,In the yere of my Redemer on M .... and fifty.Borne I was in Canterbery in the County of Kent,,Sonne to on Iohn Knyght and Alyse his wife, this is verament.And to be short, all worldly things to confound,Of the Earth I was made, and to the Earth I am retournd.
