"Wherfor I rede That, as an holy byschop was at his masse, his deken turnet forto byd the pepull bowe horn to the blessyng ; Then he eygh too woyrnen rowne togedyr, and the fende sate on hor schuldyrs, wrytyng on a long roll als fast as lie myght. Then aftyr masse, by byddyng of fys deken, the byschop send aftyr thes woymew, and asket horn how fay had occupyet the masse tyme. Then sayd thay how thay haddyn sayde hor 'Pater Noster'. Then the bischop commawndet the fende forto rede that he had wrytton, and when he had red all that thay hadden talked of, thay fellen downe to thee grownde and asked mercy".
