Seyse nere sessyon, lete perjery be chef;
Glotenye rest, let abstynawnce beyn absent;
And he that wole exorte the to vertu, put hem to repreff.
To rehers al my servauntes my matere is to breff,
But alle these xal everyth the dyvicion eternal;
Thow Cryst by his sotylté many materys meef,
In evyrlastynge peyne with me dwellyn thei xal.
Remembre, oure servauntes, whoys sowlys ben mortalle,
ffor I must remeffe for more materys to provyde;
I am with ȝow at alle tymes whan ȝe to councel me calle,
