My dowte dothe aprevyn Cryst levynge fful bolde,

And is a grett argument in feyth us to glade.

Thou man that seyst this, ffrom feyth nevyr thou ffade,

My dowte xal evyr chere the, that sore me avexit;

Truste wele in Cryst that suche meracle hath made,

Quod mortuus et sepultus nunc resurrexit!

The prechynge of Petir might not converte me,

Tylle I felyd the wounde that the spere dyde cleve;

I trustyd nevyr he levyd that deed was on a tre,

Tylle that his herte blood dede renne in my sleve.
