English Dialects From the Eighth Century to the Present Day

CHAPTER VIII
8/30

_Amen_.{1} {Footnote 1: I write _hiwenum_ in l.

2 in place of an illegible word.} That is:-- And earnestly pray for-thyself for help and mercy by-reason-of the deeds and merits and prayers of all his saints on-behalf-of the [households] that have pleased the Lord God from the beginning of the world; then will He hear thee because-of their intercession.
Bow-down then, at the fourth time, thy face thrice to the earth before all God's church, and sing these verses: The Lord is my salvation, save Thy people, O Lord: show forth Thy mercy.

Sing then a pater-noster.

Pray then for all believing men in the world.

Then shalt thou be, on that day, a partaker, by God's grace, of all the good things that any man doth for His name, and all true-men will intercede for thee in heaven and in earth.
