The Bedford Master, Pentecost, book of hours, about 1420. Cleveland Museum of Art.
O God our heavenly Father, who of thy gracious Providence didst cause the latter rain to descend upon the earth, that it may bring forth fruit for the use of man: we give thee humble thanks, that is hath pleased thee in our great necessity to send us at the last a joyful rain, to the great comfort of us thy unworthy servants, and to the glory of thy holy name; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
