The Bishop of Canterburies last prayer on the Scaffold.
Lord I am comming as fast as I can, I know I must pass through the
[sha]dow of death before I can come to see thee, but it is but umbra mortis,
[ri]ts and passion hast broke through the jaws of death; so, Lord, receive my
[So]ul, and have mercy on me, and bless this Kingdom with peace and plenty,
and with brotherly love and charity, that there may be not this effusion
of Christian blood amongst them, for Jesus Christ his sake, if it be thy will.
And when he said, Lord receive my soul, which was his designe, the
Executioner did his office.
