John Foxe included the text of the "Prayer" (identifying Tyndale as its editor) in his second (1570) edition of "Acts and Monuments", but it was deleted in the third (1576) edition, and reinstated in the fourth (1583) and subsequent editions. Foxe's 1570 introduction dates the "Prayer" to the mid-fourteenth century and claims not to have changed any of it since the antique language gives "credit" to it and its "testimony." Marginal notes explicate the most difficult words as well as the points that square with Protestant attacks on Roman Catholicism.
