Notes:
English version from "The Stripping of the Altars: Traditional Religion in England, 1400-1580"] by Eamon Duffy (pp 269-270). Duffy reproduced the prayer in the context of medieval seriousness about what the prayer calls, "the dreadful judgment" and the battle over it. The Latin version, with different text, is reproduced from from Folio 15r, The Burnet Psalter. University of Aberdeen. (abdn.ac.uk) |
