Suche statutes apon diettes, suche pyllyng and pollyng;

So ys all thyng wrowghte wylfully withowte reson and skylle;—

Syns Dewcalyons flodde the world[112] was never so yll. 490

So many vacabondes, so many beggers bolde;

So myche decay of monesteries and of relygious places;

So hote hatered agaynste the Chyrche, and cheryte so colde;

So myche of my lordes grace, and in hym no grace ys;

So many holow hartes, and so dowbyll faces;

So myche sayntuary brekyng, and preuylegidde barrydd;—

Syns Dewcalyons flodde was nevyr sene nor lyerd.
