This sentens sayd xal be hire begynnyng,
Now the Modyr of mercy in this be our sped!
And as a childe of iij. ȝere age here she xal appere,
To alle pepyl that ben here present,
And of here grett grace now xal ȝe here,
How she levyd evyr to Goddys entent
With grace.
That holy matere we wole declare,
Tyl ffortene ȝere how sche dyd ffare;
Now of ȝour speche I pray ȝow spare,
