Belsabub. ȝa, sere, telle us thi dowte by and by,

And we xul telle the so sekyrly,

That thou xalt knowe verryly

What thi dowte dothe mene.

Sathan. The dowte that I have it is of Cryst i-wys;

Born he was in Bedleem, as it is seyd,

And many a man wenyth that Goddes sone he is,

Born of a woman and she a clene mayd.

And alle that evyr he prechyth, it is of hevyn blys,

He wyl lese oure lawe, I am ryght sore afrayd;
