Thow it lyke the nevyr so ille,
Befforn the prophete thou xalt have lawe,
Lyke as Moyses doth charge us tylle,
With grett stonys thou xalt be slawe.
Accusator. Com forthe apase, thou stynkynge scowte!
Before the prophete thou were this day;
Or I xal ȝeve the suche a clowte,
That thou xalt falle downe evyn in the way.
Scriba. Now, be grett God! and I the pay,
Suche a buffett I xal the take,
