at london in englonde no3t fulle longe tyme
sythen crist suffride on crosse and cristendome stablyde
ther was a byschop in that burghe blessyd and sacryd

in his tyme in that ton the temple aldergrattyst
was drawen don that one dole to dedifie new
for hit hethen had bene in hengyst dawes
that the saxones vnsa3t haden sende hyder
thai bete oute the bretons and bro3t hom into wales
and peruertyd alle the pepul that in that place dwellide
then wos this reame renaide mony ronke 3eres
til saynt austyn into sandewiche was sende fro the pope
then prechyd he here the pure faythe and plantyd the trouthe
and conuertyd alle the communnates to cristendame newe
he turnyd temples that tyme that temyd to the deuelle
and clansyd hom in cristes nome and kyrkes hom callid
he hurlyd owt hor ydols and hade hym in sayntes
and chaungit cheuely hor nomes and chargit hom better
that ere was of appolyn is now of saynt petre
mahon to saynt margre . . .
