Loue hem and lene hem, so lawe of God techeth:— 215

Alter alterius onera portate.

And alle maner of men þat þow myȝte asspye

That nedy ben and nauȝty, helpe hem with þi godis;

Loue hem, and lakke hem nouȝte; late God take þe veniaunce;

Theigh þei done yuel, late þow God aworthe:— 220

Michi vindictam, et ego retribuam.

And if þow wil be graciouse to God, do as þe Gospel techeth,

And bilow þe amonges low men; so shaltow lacche grace:—

Facite vobis amicos de mamona iniquitatis.'
