The vicar must have ane of tho,

With the gray cloke that happis the bed,

Howbeit that he be purelye cled;

And gif the wyfe de on the morne,

Thocht all the babis suld be forlorne,

The uther kow he cliekis away,

With hir pure cote of roplock gray;

And gif, within twa days or thre,

The eldest chyld hapinis to de,

Of the third kow he will be sure.
