Secundus doctor legis. With Goddys hyȝ myght, loke thou not jape, Of thi purgacion wel the avyse; Yf thou be gylty, thou mayst not schape, Beware evyr of God, that ryghtful justyce.

But evyr have lyved in trew virginité,
Send me this day thin holy consolacion,
That alle this fayr peple my clennes may se.
