_Expanded Version of the above Black-Letter Inscription._

"Ista reliquia est valde misticum et myrificum opus, quod majores mei
ex Armorica, scilicet Britannia Minore, secum convehebant; et et quidam
sanctus clericus semper patri meo in manu ferebat quod penitus illud
destrueret, affirmans quod esset ab ipso Sathana conflatum prestigiosa
et dyabolica arte, quare pater meus confregit illud in duas partes, quas
quidem ego Johannes de Vinceto salvas servavi et adaptavi sicut apparet
die lune proximo post festum beate Marie Virginis anni gratie MCCCCXLV."
