For @e faderes frendchipe * @at fourmede Heuene,

And alle in on godhed * endles dwelle@ ! 4
A and all myn A.b.c * after haue y lerned,
And [patred] in my pater-noster * iche poynt after o@er,
And after all, myn Aue-marie * almost to @e ende ; 7
But all my kare is to comen * for y can noh$t my Crede.
Whan y schal schewen myn schrift * schent mote y

#e prest wil me punyche * & penaunce enioyne ;
#e Leng@e of a Lenten * flech moot y leue
After @at Estur ys ycomen * and @at is hard fare ; 12
And Wedenes-day iche wyke * wi@-outen flech-mete.
And also Jesu hym-self * to the Jewes he seyde,
" He @at leeue@ nou$t on me * he lese@ @e blisse."
#erfor lerne @e byleue * leuest me were, 16
And if any werldly wi$t * wille me cou@e,
O@er lewed or lered * @at lyue@ @erafter,
And fulliche folweth @e fey@ * and feyne@ . . .
