A |
 | Usage: schape we are uncertain as to whether there is a single scribe in this manuscript, or two. The change occurs around f49 and the second hand is very similar in most ways so maybe, perhaps, just copied at a different time and definitely with a different nib. This 'a' graph is from f17v of the manuscript. |  | Usage: fader an 'a' with flattened head-stroke from the later part of the manuscript. |
 | Usage: And an upper case 'A' from f17v. |  | Usage: And upper case 'A' as seen on f102r. |
|
D |
 | Usage: despuiled the 'd's on both folios are not dissimilar in formation. |  | Usage: vsed from f102r, 'd' in final position at the end of a line and tagged. |
 | Usage: dicit(ur) an unlooped 'd' from the rubric on f102r. |  | Usage: Do the only upper case 'D' on the sampled folios occurs on f17v. |
|
G |
 | Usage: god the 'g' graph does differ. This example from f17v has a hairline connector from the end of the tail back to the body of the graph which sits on the line. |  | Usage: largesse this example from f102r has a much larger lower lobe and is a different shape. The tail stroke often goes below the line. |
 | Usage: Gresse as will be seen in these two examples of upper case 'G', the scribe does vary his graphs on the same folio. |  | Usage: God |
|
H |
 | Usage: haste 'h' on f17v has a more pointed head-stroke and the limb and tail-stroke curves round and is contained beneath the body of the graph. |  | Usage: hast on f102r, the limb is straight on every occasion. |
 | Usage: mightes from the early folio with tail-stroke turning counter-clockwise. |  | Usage: His upper case 'H' from f17v. |
|
R |
 | Usage: regnen modern 'r' is used throughout on both folios and for all positions. |  | Usage: acorde 'z'-shaped 'r' does appear different on each folio. On f17v, the example seen here, 'r' has a horizontal stroke at the base. It is only used after 'o'. |
 | Usage: priue on f102r, 'z'-shaped 'r' is slightly different with the lower stroke set at an angle. It is used after 'o' but also after some round-bodied graphs. |  | Usage: euer an 'r' in final position with a rarely used tag to finish. |
|
S |
 | Usage: so long 's' used initially and medially on both folios. |  | Usage: wawes a final kidney-shaped 's' from f17v. |
 | Usage: places a sharper example of final 's' from f102r. The shape is basically the same and perhaps the difference may be explained by a different nib. |  | Usage: So |
|
W |
 | Usage: wote this is the only form of 'w' which is used on f17v. |  | Usage: wel on f102r, this looped 'w' is used alongside the version to be seen in 3. |
 | Usage: wedded also used on f102r. This 'w' is not quite the same as the version on f17v which ends in a 'B'-shaped element rather than as here a single loop. |  | Usage: Which upper case 'W' from f17v. |
|
Y |
 | Usage: yif almost all 'y's on f17v have a tail which turns counter-clockwise. |  | Usage: hym almost all 'y's on f102r have a tail-stroke which is straight. |
 | Usage: seye occasionally 'y' is dotted . |  | Usage: wyues the single 'y' on f102r with curled tail. |
|
Thorn and yogh |
 | Usage: þe thorn is not used at all on f17v. However, there are only two examples on f102r so the scribe does not use thorn a great deal. |  | Usage: soþ |
 | Usage: ȝaf yogh is not used on f17v. It is used several times on f102r equivalent to 'y' and also the gutteral. |  | Usage: aȝein |
|
Upper Case Letters |
 | Usage: Thus upper case 'T' from f17v. |  | Usage: Thou upper case 'T' from f102r. |
 | Usage: Be upper case 'B' from f17v. |  | Usage: Be an almost identical upper case 'B' from f102r. |
|
Serendipity |
 | Usage: ffro man catchword on f17v with distinctive looped bracket end and dotting. |  | Usage: ffor first word of f102r. |
 | Usage: be knowe the top line of f102r with decorated ascenders. |  | Usage: lothe a second type of decoration of an ascender on the top line of f102r. |
