Excerpt from Ludus Coventriæ, or the Plaie Called Corpus Christi: Cotton Ms. Vespasian D. VIII

There are three other handwritings to be found in the MS (1) that of the interpolated quire E (if. 51, 52) containing the conversation between Joseph and his kinsmen in the Betrothal of Mary play (2) that of the interpolated folios 95, 96 in the iliagi play, and of the interpolated fo. 112 containing the Opening of the Baptism play (3) that of the Assumption play.1 The first is a rough cursive hand of the. Close-of the century decidedly later than that of the body of the ms. This writer uses the full th form, and neither the h nor the 3 appears in this passage. The second is also a cursive hand, but of a less untidy character. Halliwell Speaks of it as a more recent hand and this writer was, as will be seen, at work as a correctorof the ms. After its compilation but the opinion of authorities is that the hand cannot be said to belong to a later type than the original scribe's. This writer uses the t (in the later y form) and the full ih form in about the same proportion as the chief scribe like him he uses the 3 in the word 3c, but he uses the forms you and your where the other invariably uses 3i (you) and your. This writer uses a curious form of final 3.
