"Creezum zuum patrum onitentem creatorum ejus anicum, Dominum nostrum qui sum sops, virgini Mariæ, crixus fixus, Ponchi Pilati audubitiers, morti {614} by sonday, father a fernes, scelerest un judicarum, finis a mortibus. Creezum spirituum sanctum, ecli Catholi, remissurum, peccaturum, communiorum obliviorum, bitam et turnam again." THE LITTLE CREED. "Little Creed, can I need, Kneele before our Ladies knee; Candle light, candles burne, Our Ladie pray'd to her deare Sonne, That we might all to heaven come. Little Creed, Amen." "This that followeth they call the 'White Pater-noster:' "White Pater-noster, Saint Peter's brother, What hast i' th' t'one hand? white booke leaves. What hast i' th' t'other hand? heaven yate keyes. Open heaven yates, and steike [shut] hell yates: And let every crysome child creepe to its owne mother. White Pater-noster, Amen." "Another Prayer: "I blesse me with God and the rood, With his sweet flesh and precious blood; With his crosse and his creed, With his length and his breed, From my toe to my crowne, And all my body up and downe, From my back to my brest, My five wits be my rest; God let never ill come at ill, But through Jesus owne will, Sweet Jesus, Lord. Amen." "Many also use to weare vervein against blasts; and when they gather it for this purpose, firste they crosse the herbe with their hand, and then they blesse it thus: "Hallowed be thou, Vervein, As thou growest on the ground, For in the Mount of Calvary, There thou wast first found. Thou healedst our Saviour Jesus Christ, And staunchedst his bleeding wound; In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, I take thee from the ground." These passages may be seen in the "Preface to the Reader," § 13., no page, but on the reverse of Sig. A 4.
