Abbot Martin was not skilled in this art, and unfortunately he employed a copyist to whom it was equally unknown.

" Gate be open never
.... Be closed against an honest man. " 1 Nser hielper mangen Mand.
2 N served slaaer ingen Mand ihiel.
3 Beinalie bringt keine Miicke um.
4 Pour un point Martin perdit son ane.
