To eche towne and cety he sendyth hem as bedellys;
In dyverce place to make ffor hym purvyauns,
The pepyl of hese werkys fful grettly merveyllys.
To the crokyd, blynd, and dowme, his werkys prevaylys.
Laȝarus that foure days lay ded his lyff recuryd;
And where I purpose me to tempt, anon he me asaylys;
Mawdelyn playn remyssyon also he hath ensuryd.
Goddys son he pretendyth and to be born of a mayde,
And seyth he xal dey for mannys salvacion,
Than xal the trewth be tryed and no fordere be delayd,
