Synopsis
Excerpt from The Poems of John Audelay: A Specimen of the Shropshire Dialect in the Fifteenth Century
Among the capellam' of the quiet monastery of Haghmon, at the commencement of the fifteenth century, lived one, a truly penitent and righteous monk, who atoned for the excesses of his early life by the devotion of an enthusiast, and called the priesthood to their duty by the voice of litera ture, even during the afflictions of the blind and the deaf. He was no Lollard. A pious priest, denouncing the opinions of Wicklifi'e, teaching that dissent and heresy would assuredly lead to damna tion, he was yet well aware that the return of the leaders Of his religion to their early discipline, was the only chance left for restoring orthodoxy. His name was John Audelay, or Awdlay, as the name is spelt different ways in the same manuscript.
