I doo go, and I doo come unto you with the love of God, with the
humilitie of Christ, with the holines of our blessed ladie, with the
faith of _Abraham_, with the justice of _Isaac_, with the vertue of
_David_, with the might of _Peter_, with the constancie of _Paule_,
with the word of God, with the authoritie of _Gregorie_, with the
praier of _Clement_, with the floud of _Jordan_, _ꝑ ꝑ p c g e

_Joseph_ of _Arimathea_ did find this writing upon the wounds of the
side of Jesus Christ, written with Gods finger, when the bodie was
taken away frō the crosse. Whosoever shall carrie this writing about
him, shall not die anie evill death, if he beleeve in Christ, and in
all perplexities he shall soone be delivered, neither let him feare
any danger at all. _Fons ✠ alpha & omega ✠ figa ✠ figalis ✠ Sabbaoth

I find in a Primer intituled The houres of our Ladie, after the use of
the church of _Yorke_, printed anno 1516. a charme with this titling
in red letters; To all them that afore this image of pitie devoutlie
shall saie [*]five _Pater nosters_, five _Aves_, and one _Credo_,
pitiouslie beholding these armes of Christs passion, are granted
thirtie two thousand seven hundred fiftie five yeares of pardon. It
is to be thought that this pardon was granted in the time of pope
_Boniface_ the ninth; for _Platina_ saith that the pardons were sold so
cheape, that the apostolicall authoritie grew into contempt.
♦[*] If the party faile in the number, he may go whistle for a pardon.♦
¶ _A papisticall charme._
_Signum sanctæ crucis defendat me à malis præsentibus, præteritis, &
futuris, interioribus & exterioribus_: that is, The signe of the crosse
defend me from evils present, past, and to come, inward and outward.
¶ _A charme found in the canon of the masse._
