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[1] 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.
