That helle may holde hym be no lawe,
But that he may pas at hese lyberté.
Qwere swyche on his prevyde and se,
And hese deth for mannys dethe xal be redempcion,
Alle hefne and erthe seke now ȝe,
Plesyth it ȝow this conclusyon.
Veritas. I, Trowthe, have sowte the erthe withowt and withinne,
And in sothe ther kan non be fownde,
That is of o day byrth withowte synne,
Nor to that dethe wole be bownde.
