 He that will the chiefest wisdom find, 

 Keep right the holy church of Paul in mind, 

 To the pure words of God your Lord give ear; 

 In heart, in mind, and soul be you sincere j 

 Shew mercy to the weak men of this parish, 

 And hold all your days a good life. 



So prayeth 



J. B.

As I was a walking, was walking, was walking on ye sea, 



I heard, I heard, I heard, a noise, a noise, a noise [as] of small

 But I found it to be a great fish with nine tails, 

 All the people in St. Ives, and Market-Jew, 

 Were not able to draw it in.
