glad to help

I am starting to love this language, reading it is very interesting but hearing it is so much better so I have to say 'thanks' to you for doing these readings.

@emanitudism

really nice to hear such positive feedback - appreciate your comments

This is cool! Learning Old English is fun, but it gets a little weird seeing one word spelled in a couple of ways, like (Hie, Hi, and Hig). Thanks for the up-load!

yes, just when you think you.ve got the hang of it, a rogue spelling turns up and throws you. appreciate your positive comment.

I intend to upload the middle English version this evening

One of my favorite gospels (any that has to do with food). I just scribbled down both the OE and ME to help me with my self-taught OE studies.
