NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[2'"»S. N«72., MAY16, '57. 



The Prayer, however, is only a portion of a Form. The 

 first sheet runs on and takes in part of a Psalm. As all 

 the ordinary repositories were searched by the Editor of 

 the Parker Society volume, it may be presumed that this 

 is the only perfect copy at present known." 



If such be the case it would be very desirable 

 to see it in print, if possible, in fac-simile.

 lists already given in " N. & Q.," compiled from 

 some additions to my own collection, from the
