And preche of mercy hire for to save;
Than have we mater of gret substauns,
Hym for to kylle and putt in grave.
Grett reson why I xal ȝow telle;
ffor Moyses dothe bydde in oure lawe,
That every advowterere we xuld qwelle,
And ȝitt with stonys thei xulde be slawe;
Ageyn Moyses if that he drawe,
That synful woman with grace to helpe,
He xal nevyr skape out of oure awe,
