Tertius Judæus. ȝa, I prey God ȝeve hem alle shenscheppe.

Petrus. Serys, alas! what do ȝe mene?
  Why scorne ȝe now thus Goddys grace?

  Ther is no drunke man in this place;
Wherefore ryght grett is ȝowre trespace:
  But, syres, lyst what it doth sygnifye;

  Of Johel the pregnaunt prophecye,
            In whiche that he,
That ȝe han seyn,
In wourdys pleyn,
Declareth serteyn:
            Now blyssyd God be! Amen.
