Contemplacio. Cryst conserve this congregacion

Fro perellys past, present, and future,

And the personys here pleand, that the pronunciacion

Of here sentens to be seyd mote be sad and sure.

And that non oblocucyon make this matere obscure,

But it may profite and plese eche persone present,

ffrom the gynnynge to the endynge so to endure,

That Cryst and every creature with the conceyte be content.

This matere here mad is of the modyr of mercy,

How be Joachym and Anne was here concepcion,
