for_o we_o will_v do_v they_o this_o favour_n to_o call_v it_o so_o when_o nicodemus_n take_v our_o saviour_n down_o from_o the_o cross_n he_o gather_v some_o of_o his_o blood_n and_o put_v it_o in_o one_o of_o the_o finger_n of_o his_o glove_n note_n here_o that_o nicodemus_n wear_v glove_n as_o well_o as_o we_o with_o the_o which_o blood_n he_o wrought_v many_o wonder_n for_o which_o cause_n be_v persecute_v by_o the_o jew_n he_o be_v glad_a to_o rid_v his_o hand_n of_o it_o by_o a_o strange_a device_n which_o be_v this_o he_o take_v a_o piece_n of_o parchment_n in_o which_o he_o write_v all_o the_o miracle_n and_o all_o that_o appertain_v to_o this_o secret_a and_o close_v up_o the_o blood_n together_o with_o the_o parchment_n in_o a_o great_a bird_n bill_n the_o historian_n have_v forget_v her_o name_n which_o when_o he_o have_v bind_v up_o and_o settle_v as_o well_o as_o he_o can_v he_o cast_v it_o into_o the_o sea_n commend_v it_o to_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n who_o pleasure_n be_v as_o the_o story_n say_v that_o a_o thousand_o or_o twelve_o hundred_o year_n after_o or_o thereabouts_o this_o holy_a bill_n have_v traverse_v all_o the_o sea_n from_o east_n to_o

certain_a shrub_n it_o so_o fortune_v that_o a_o good_a duke_n of_o normandy_n one_o of_o the_o famous_a founder_n of_o religious_a house_n in_o those_o day_n hunt_v a_o stag_n near_o to_o the_o place_n when_o the_o huntsman_n be_v at_o a_o loss_n not_o know_v what_o be_v become_v either_o of_o the_o stag_n or_o of_o the_o dog_n at_o last_o they_o find_v he_o in_o a_o bush_n kneel_v upon_o his_o knee_n and_o the_o dog_n by_o he_o all_o very_a quiet_a and_o upon_o their_o knee_n also_o some_o write_v that_o they_o be_v say_v their_o pater_fw-la noster_fw-la which_o spectacle_n do_v so_o stir_v up_o the_o devotion_n of_o this_o good_a duke_n that_o he_o cause_v the_o wood_n where_o this_o precious_a beak_n and_o the_o jewel_n therein_o contain_v be_v find_v to_o be_v dispark_v incontinent_o and_o there_o found_v a_o abbey_n which_o for_o this_o cause_n be_v call_v the_o abbey_n of_o becke_n where_o they_o have_v this_o goodly_a miracle_n yet_o to_o be_v see_v be_v so_o rich_a that_o it_o may_v true_o be_v say_v that_o this_o beak_n feed_v many_o belly_n now_o if_o this_o one_o relic_n or_o some_o remnant_n and_o remainder_n thereof_o do_v keep_v and_o maintain_v so_o many_o idle_a belly_n yea_o feed_v these_o lubber_n so_o fat_a that_o they_o be_v nothing_o but_o belly_n and_o not_o so_o only_o but_o so_o enrich_v they_o let_v the_o reader_n judge_v what_o abundance_n of_o riches_n the_o rabble_n of_o other_o relic_n have_v bring_v unto_o they_o be_v so_o many_o that_o hitherto_o they_o can_v never_o be_v comprehend_v in_o any_o inventory_n and_o we_o may_v well_o conjecture_v how_o great_a they_o be_v by_o the_o shrine_n in_o which_o they_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v keep_v for_o the_o ditch_n in_o which_o these_o carcase_n be_v lay_v be_v of_o earth_n to_o speak_v more_o plain_o of_o these_o penny_n which_o come_v by_o kiss_v and_o adore_v of_o they_o or_o adoration_n to_o speak_v more_o proper_o they_o buy_v for_o they_o fine_a silver_n house_n

because_o all_o relic_n have_v not_o be_v equal_o gainful_a and_o commodious_a unto_o they_o in_o that_o some_o have_v not_o the_o luck_n to_o light_v in_o a_o country_n so_o addict_v to_o miracle_n let_v we_o value_v the_o best_a sort_n of_o they_o but_o at_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o crown_n though_o some_o perhaps_o have_v be_v worth_a many_o million_o the_o mean_a sort_n but_o at_o threescore_o thousand_o the_o worst_a sort_n but_o at_o twelve_o thousand_o and_o then_o gather_v the_o entire_a sum_n of_o they_o all_o and_o yet_o of_o none_o but_o of_o those_o that_o be_v in_o fresh_a memory_n we_o may_v calculate_v how_o many_o thousand_o crown_n these_o relic_n have_v gain_v they_o 5_o which_o account_n nevertheless_o do_v not_o in_o any_o sort_n comprehend_v particular_a
