Rh Deus qui unigenitum filium tuum, Dominum nostrum

Jesum Christum, famulo tuo Regi nostro Henrico

corpore et anima glorificatum demonstrare voluisti,

praesta quaesimus, ut eius meritis et precibus ad

aeternam fidem Domini nostri Jesu Christi et

visionem pertingcre mereamur

Per Dominum nostrum, etc.

In the same collection of papers there is the following English prayer to the saintly King written, as it would seem, for a pilgrimage to the tomb at Windsor:

As far as hope will yn length

On the Kyng Henry I fix my mynde

That by thy prayers I may have strenkith

In vertuous lyfe my works to bynde

Though I to thee have been unkynde

Of wilfulness long tyme and space

Of forgevness I aske the grace

Hope hathe me movyde to seke this place

In trust of socor by thyn old properte

Was never man came beforne thi face

Rebellion or oder yn adverite

Off thyn compassion comaunded then go free

Now for thi pety to hym that all shall deme

Pray for me thy servant and pilgreme.
