The following prayer is taken from the Bodleian MS. Lat. th. d. 15, foll. 115 sqq, being a collection made by Eobert Parkin of Erdwioke le Skete near Doncaster. The MS. is in Parkin's own hand and he entitles this prayer ‘Prayers of Sir Thomas More’ and concludes it with the words ‘Compiled by Sir Thomas More sometime Chancellor of England with these additions following’—and he includes various other prayers, all of which have since been published. This beautiful prayer has apparently not yet been printed or at least is unfamiliar to the general public. The spelling has been slightly modernised.
