About the Text
Title Page text:
¶ A Ioyfull medytacyon to all Englonde
of the coronacyon of our moost naturall
souerayne lorde kynge Henry the eyght.
Borders: In the surviving text, the decorative border appears along the top and sides of the first page, and around all sides of the last page. The first page probably had a lower border as well. The continuous left border was added by the transcriber.

How / where / or whan I cam nothynge say
The word “cam” could be read as “cain” with missing dot, but an unambiguous letter “m” with the same defect appears several other times on this page.
Damaged Lines: The original text was published as an eight-page pamphlet. In the surviving copy, used as the basis for facsimile reprints, the bottoms of all pages have been cropped. A total of three lines—as deduced from the verse structure—are entirely missing, and a further three have been reconstructed from their surviving portions. Folio numbers would have appeared at the very bottom of the page.
