ffilius. I thynke the thoughtys of Pes and nowth of wykkydnes,
This I deme to ses ȝour contraversy,
If Adam had not deyd, peryschyd had Ryghtwysnes,
And also Trewthe had be lost therby.
Trewth and Ryght wolde chastyse ffoly,
ȝiff another deth come not, Mercy xulde perysche,
Than Pes were exyled ffynyaly,
So tweyn dethis must be ȝow fowre to cherysche,
But he that xal deye ȝe must knawe,
That in hym may ben non iniquyté,
