CAXTON'S TEXT.

[12]

Auyse you wel also / for ony thinge

The chirche of prayer / is hous and place

Beware therfore / of clappe or Iangelyng_e_ 80

[Sidenote: Don't chatter,]

For in þ^e chirche / it is a ful grate trespaas

And a token of suche / as lackyth grace

There be ye demure / and kepe ye scilence

[Sidenote: but be silent, and serve God.]

And serue ye god / with al your diligence 84

[13]

[Sidenote: Leaf 3 a.]

To helpe the preest / whan he saith masse

[Sidenote: When you help the priest at Mass,]

Whan it shal happen you or betyde

Remeue not fer / ne from his presence passe 87

Knele or stonde ye / deuoutly hym besyde

[Sidenote: kneel or stand near him,]

And not to nyg[=h] your to_n_ge muste be applide

Tanswere hym / with voys ful moderate

[Sidenote: and answer him in a moderate tone.]

Auyse you wel / my lityl childe algate 91

[14]

To mynystre / with deuoute reuerence

[Sidenote: Minister reverently]

Loke ye do / youre humble obseruance

Debonairly / with due obedyence 94

Circumspectly / with euery circumstaunce

[Sidenote: and circumspectly.]

Of poort and chere / of goodly counte[=n]ance

Remembryng_e_ wel the lord_e_ / a boue is he

Whom to serue / is grettest liberte 98
