The Lay folks mass book, or, The manner of hearing mass, with rubrics and devotions for the people, in four texts, and offices in English according to the use of York, from manuscripts of the xth to the xvth century . o it. (2) Our Midland scribe seems to have been quite at fault with the northerna or ane (one). In line 11 he has let ane pass for the sake of the rhyme. Inline 157 a. may very well have been the article as in line 19, though it mayhave been used of one in contrast to the several crosses, which are sometimesdirected to be made. In line 173 a is used in contrasting one with the other ;but the scribe most likely let it pass as the indefinite article ; and in line 180,probably for the same reason, though here it was intended of the oneness ofthe Trinity (see note, p. 215-16). In line 561 he has written ay (=ever) in-stead of a (=one), though this is clearly a better reading, and has beenretained in C. (See note, p. 300.) In lines 424 and 425, from not being used to ane, and from the Aue-Maria being an established devotion when he wrote, he has made utter non-sense, by writing ave ; though the usually blundering scribe of our E text hasrightly translated the ane into on.
