As thine Ancestres dede er this:
So schalt thou noght believe amis.
Incepit Jhesus facere et docere.
Crist wroghte ferst and after tawhte,
So that the dede his word arawhte;[1670]
He yaf ensample in his persone,
And we the wordes have al one,
Lich to the Tree with leves grene,
Upon the which no fruit is sene. 1830
