MED title stencils and sources:	Cld A.2 a1450(a1425) Mirk IPP (Cld A.2) John Mirk's Instructions for Parish Priests, ed. G. Kristensson, Lund Studies in English 49 (1974).67-103(line 674), 108(line 675)-176. Note: In A-N, the stencil c1450(a1425) Mirk IPPCld A.2 (relabeled in the e-MED to a1450(a1425) Mirk IPPCld A.2:Peacock) refers to John Myrc, Instructions for Parish Priests, ed. E. Peacock, Early English Text Society, Original Series 31 (1868; rev. 1902; reprint 1996).1-60. S. Powell (ed. John Mirk's Festial, EETS 334, 2009), p. xxi, suggests that IPP is earlier than the Festial, which she dates in the late 1380s. If so, MED's composition date of 'a1425' may be overly conservative.
