121.—Nore on tHe Putrit In Worte Cuurcu. 
By H. M. Kuaassen, F.G.S. 
Tue Anglo-Saxon church at Worth, near Three Bridges, in 
Sussex, contains a pulpit which has been an object of interest to 
me for some length of time, and about which I have corresponded 
with the Rev. W. W. Skeat, M.A., Professor of Anglo-Saxon in 
the University of Cambridge, and with persons living in Hast- 
friesland, Hanover. 
The pulpit is made of wood, and has five panels; in each there 
is a boldly carved figure, with corresponding inscription beneath, 
carved in German characters, as under :— 
der evangelist Sante Matevs, 
der evangelist Sante Marevs, 
ick bin allene di here vnde godt, 
der evangelist Sante Lvcas, 
der evangelist Sante Joannes. 
The third line of the inscription, translated into English, is— 
*T am alone thy Lord and God.” 
Above the panels there are, carved in German letters, the 
following couplets :— 
wol mi levet de werth min 
vnd wi werdé tho em kamé 
vnd min vader 
biem maké. IOA 14.
