text excerpt

The seventh day of April was brought unto St. Thomas of Acon in Cheap from Little St. Bartholomew beside Lothbury Mistress … And there was a great company of people, two and two together, and neither priest nor clerks present, but instead went the new preachers in their gowns like laymen, neither singing nor saying till they came to the church. And before she was put into the grave, a collect was said in English and then put into the grave. And after took some earth and cast it on the corpse and read a thing for the same. And forthwith read the Epistle of St. Paul to the Thessalonians, the … chapter. And after they sang the Pater noster in English—both preachers and others and women—of a new fashion. And after one of them went into the pulpit and made a sermon.
