Than for the loue of god or his seruyce.
Alas oft goddes goodes and cristis herytage
Of suche folys is wastyd and spent in vayne
In great folyes mundaynes and outrage
Where it decreed, and ordeyned is certayne.
That prestis sholde helpe pore people that lyue in payne
And with suche goodes kepe hospytalyte
Whiche pryde ryot and Uenus suffreth nat to be
Thus is the grettest parte of the spiritualte
Pore preste, persone, vicayr, relygyon and prelate
