time_n there_o come_v to_o saint_n george_n a_o gentleman_n upon_o certain_a business_n that_o he_o have_v and_o because_o he_o have_v no_o leisure_n to_o tarry_v the_o high_a mass_n he_o mind_v to_o have_v a_o low_a mass_n say_v so_o he_o send_v his_o man_n to_o seek_v a_o priest_n to_o say_v it_o who_o meet_v with_o this_o priest_n that_o we_o speak_v of_o here_o that_o be_v as_o diligent_a as_o may_v be_v and_o although_o he_o know_v but_o his_o mass_n of_o requiem_n of_o our_o lady_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o he_o make_v no_o show_n of_o any_o thing_n for_o fear_v to_o lose_v his_o mass_n great_a but_o seem_v to_o have_v much_o skill_n as_o another_o well_o he_o put_v on_o his_o mask_a robe_n and_o begin_v his_o mass_n he_o dispatch_v his_o introite_fw-la with_o much_o a_o do_v and_o the_o epistle_n with_o much_o more_o but_o the_o gentleman_n take_v no_o great_a regard_n be_v occupy_v in_o his_o prayer_n until_o it_o come_v to_o the_o gospel_n that_o be_v too_o hard_o for_o the_o priest_n for_o he_o do_v never_o read_v it_o before_o above_o three_o or_o four_o time_n by_o the_o mean_n whereof_o he_o be_v merueilous_o trouble_v know_v well_o that_o the_o gentleman_n and_o they_o that_o stand_v by_o give_v ear_n unto_o he_o which_o give_v occasion_n to_o make_v his_o tongue_n to_o trip_v the_o more_o he_o say_v this_o gospel_n so_o heavy_o and_o find_v in_o it_o so_o many_o new_a and_o strange_a word_n and_o so_o hard_a to_o spell_v that_o he_o be_v constrain_v to_o cut_v off_o the_o one_o half_a and_o at_o every_o second_o or_o three_o word_n he_o say_v jesus_n although_o it_o be_v not_o in_o his_o gospel_n at_o the_o last_o he_o get_v out_o of_o it_o with_o great_a pain_n and_o make_v a_o end_n of_o his_o mass_n as_o well_o as_o he_o can_v the_o gentleman_n note_v the_o ignorance_n of_o this_o priest_n pay_v he_o for_o his_o mass_n and_o will_v his_o man_n to_o bid_v he_o home_o to_o dyner_n which_o proffer_n the_o priest_n willing_o accept_v be_v together_o at_o dyner_n the_o gentleman_n say_v unto_o he_o sir_n john_n the_o gospel_n that_o you_o read_v to_o day_n be_v very_o devout_a there_o be_v jesus_n repeat_v very_o often_o then_o sir_n john_n that_o be_v somewhat_o merry_a because_o of_o his_o good_a cheer_n perceive_v the_o gentleman_n pleasant_o dispose_v begin_v to_o say_v sir_n i_o perceive_v well_o what_o you_o mean_v but_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o sir_n indeed_o i_o be_o not_o so_o well_o see_v as_o those_o that_o have_v be_v priest_n twenty_o or_o thirty_o year_n whereas_o i_o have_v not_o be_v pass_v two_o or_o three_o year_n at_o the_o most_o the_o gospel_n that_o be_v read_v this_o day_n for_o to_o tell_v you_o truth_n i_o never_o read_v it_o before_o above_o three_o or_o four_o time_n as_o there_o be_v many_o other_o in_o my_o book_n that_o be_v very_o hard_o but_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o what_o sir_n when_o i_o say_v mass_n before_o honest_a folk_n and_o that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o gospel_n hard_a word_n that_o i_o can_v read_v i_o skip_v they_o over_o for_o fear_n to_o make_v the_o matter_n too_o long_o but_o in_o steed_n of_o they_o i_o say_v jesus_n which_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n better_o now_o true_o sir_n john_n say_v the_o gentleman_n you_o do_v very_o well_o always_o when_o i_o come_v this_o way_n i_o will_v hear_v your_o mass_n i_o drink_v to_o you_o sir_n john_n i_o thank_v you_o gentleman_n say_v the_o priest_n when_o you_o stand_v need_n of_o i_o sir_n i_o will_v serve_v you_o aswell_o as_o any_o priest_n in_o the_o parish_n and_o so_o he_o take_v his_o leave_n
