For he was biſſy and was deligent,
and gives away largely;
And largly he iffith, and diſpent
Rewardis, boith one to the pur & riche,
[2452] And holdith feſt throw al the ȝher eliche.
In al the warld paſſing gan his name,
He chargit not bot of encreß and fam̅e,
And how his puples hartis to empleß;
[2456] Thar gladnes ay was to his hart moſt eß.
He rakith not of riches nor treſſour,
