If all was ye temporary of fun? And why ye folk dead were
Into the apostles went ye holy Mass, in some of them lit
A bold way went forth ye, and bid our lords my gift
They were fulfilled of the holy Mass, yeake each manake Mass,
Eche lauske ye on yourmas, ye holy Mass, thou he the one

And have ye apostles pecke her speche, yeat of her londe ne ye

Lete zon esten quod semt peter, & lyneep not pue to lente
And bete zon, syme wip peneuse, & ye holy Mass ze abone
Per bileneed in pat plate, & to o lond zau zoe
And bere estued porst, semt peter, cast men anode
Se sere miracles ye apostels sed, among ye jodes pue

Semt peter and semt John, went alke wispont
And se sere mindles wispont, pat ye jodes had don

And was born civeles of his mode, at ye gate sat pue
And bad hem some food for god dis londe, peter heve pue
A man he eride, bold ne olike, hane i non ideus
Zbut pat i hane i nul zeue, arise he eride to go
Pue man wos op hool and cimede, & worshiped om lord pos
