Hit bycomeþ for clerkus Crist for to seruen, 65
And knaues vncrouned to cart and to worche.
For shold no clerk be crouned bote yf he ycome were
Of franklens and free men, and of folke yweddede.

Bothe God and good men, as here degree askeþ;
Some to synge masses, oþer sitten and wryte,
Rede and receyue þat Reson ouhte spende;
And sith bondemenne barnes han be mad bisshopes,
