Extract

page 28 note [m] I shall beg leave only to add the testimony of our English Homer:

O yongè Hewe of Lyncoln, slayne also,

With cursyd Jewes, as it is notable,

For it is but a lytel while ago,

Pray eke for us, we synful folk unstable,

That of his mercy, God be merciable

On us, his grete mercy multiply,

For the reverence of his mother Mary.
