I like the middle english. That was really cool. What does it say?
It's Luke 8:1-3:
After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him, and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; Joanna the wife of Cuza, the manager of Herod's household; Susanna; and many others. These women were helping to support them out of their own means.
This is how they spelled Jesus? It's bizarre because our language today seems so much more Latinate than that passage, but you can clearly see the latin in it. Perhaps when the French got mixed up in the English it returned it to its Romance Language roots.
Actually, I DO like some newer Christian music, I attended an alternative church for several years alongside my traditional church attendance. I particularly like the edgier, harder stuff because I think the "folk mass" style had passed its prime by 1980.
It seems insane, but in the Catholic church we're having to do research and dig and scrabble to find copies of music that was in use just forty years ago, and given the means of recording it then it seems unconcionable that it all could have been thrown away. That's what I mean by supressed.
My conservative philosophy can be summed up by "Question everything, preserve the good." I believe that novelty for its own sake is very, very dangerous to us and to our way of life and that it has nearly destroyed us.
I believe I am partly to blame for that and so I'm devoting the rest of my life to preserving and restoring the good and wholesome things of the past to the extent that I can.
