Let not [the waterflood overflow me, neither let] the deep swallow me up, ()
Be ye steadfast, unmoveable ()
Hope [we have as] an anchor of the soul ()
The Lord sitteth upon the flood; [yea,] the Lord sitteth King for ever. ()
Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord. Lord, hear my voice ()
He heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him ()
He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still ()
The designs in the tracery are probably based on the seal used by the Corporation of Padstow: a three-masted ship with an anchor suspended from the prow (Lewis, Samuel. A Topographical Dictionary of England, Vol p 509, London, , S Lewis & Co).
