For thu doist forbyd vs to kylle anye man, and thu doist kylle and sparist non of thre thousande whych thu causydest to be slayne. Also God gaue vs in commaundemente by the, that we shulde not marry the doughter of a straunger. Yet thu tokest thy wyfe amonge them. Alas my dere brother, with a great meany of soche wordes (whom I knowe to be folyshe) with Aaron (whych is my owne wytte) I imbrayded the, Wherof I do repente. For the lyuely voyce of God, rebukyngly toke me vp, before I wente out of the place. What woldest thu than of my synne? Alas my brother thu woldest not haue me ponnyshed, but rather woldest my saluacyon and helthe, in askynge for me, thys great benefyght, that it shulde please God to mytygate hys iudgemente. The whych thynge thu couldest not obtayne. For I became a lazar, so that whan any body shulde loke vpō me, they myght wele se that I had not bene wyse. And so was I put out from the tentes and tabernacles of the people, bycause that a sycke bodye maye infecte thē whych be in helthe.

Psal. 50.
Oh, a sowle can not haue a greatter Pōnyshement, than to be bannyshed out of the cumpanye of them whych are holye and good. But what dedyst thu seynge my repentaunce? Thu prouydedyst that my penaunce was sone at an ende, and with true loue dedyst make meanes for me, wherupon I ded returne. O what a brother wolde, instede to ponnyshe hys folysh syster, so naturally cleaue vnto her? For iniurye, grudge, & great offēce, thu geuyst her grace & loue in recōpēce. Alas my brother how excedynge is thys thy loue? Moch more is it, than brotherhede is bounde to geue to so poore & wretched a woman as I am. I haue done the euyll, and thu geuyst me good for it, I am thyne, and thu sayest, thu arte myne. Euē so I am, and wyll be so for euer. I feare nomore the great folyshenesse of Aaron, for nomā maye separat me frō the. Now that we are brother & syster togyther, I care very lytle for all other men. Thy landes are myne owne inherytaunce.
