Et sic transient circa placeam.

Ordeyned ffoure and twenty prestys of grett devocion,
In the temple of God after here let apere,
Thei weryd clepyd summi sacerdotes ffor her mynistracion.
And on was prynce of prestys havynge domynacyon,
Amonge whiche was an old prest clepyd ȝakarye,
And he had an old woman to his wyff of holy conversacion,
Whiche hyth Eliȝabeth, that nevyr had childe verylye.
