The following Greek hymn, attributed to St Basil, was printed by Archdeacon France in _Preces Veterum {71} cum Hymnis Coaevis_ as of the 2nd, or at latest the 3rd, century: _phos ilaron agias doxes athanatou patros ouraniou agiou makaros iesou Christe elthontes epi tou eliou dusin idontes phos esperinon umnoumen patera kai uion kai agion pneuma theou axios ei en kairois umneiothai phonais osiais uie theou zoen o didous dio o kosmos se doxazei_ AMHN.

Now these Rufflars, the out castes of seruing men, when begginge or crauinge fayles, then they pycke and pylfer, from other inferiour beggeres that they méete by the waye, as Roages, Pallyardes, Mortes, and Doxes.

For by such haue they most gayne, and shalbe conuayde eyther into some loft out of the waye, or other secret corner not commen to any other; and thether repayre, at accustomed tymes, their harlots, whiche they terme Mortes and Doxes,--not with emty hands; for they be as skilfull in picking, riffling, _and_ filching as the vpright men, and nothing inferior to them in all kind of wyckednes, as in other places hereafter they shalbe touched.

These neuer go w_i_t_h_ out their Doxes, and yf their women haue anye thing about them, as apparell or lynnen, that is worth the selling, they laye the same to gage, or sell it out right, for bene bowse at their bowsing ken.

When they happen one woorke at any good house, their Doxes lynger alofe, and tarry for them in some corner; and yf he taryeth longe from her, then she knoweth *[leaf 18]* he hath worke, and walketh neare, and sitteth downe by him.
