Episcopus, et idem Joseph.
Sey than aftyr me,—“Here I take the, Mary, to wyff,
To havyn to holdyn, as God his wyl with us wyl make;
And as long as bethwen us lestyght oure lyff,
To love ȝow as myselff, my trewthe I ȝow take.”
Nunc ad Mariam sic dicens episcopus,
Mary, wole ȝe have this man,
And hym to kepyn as ȝour lyff?
