The pepyl so fast to hym doth falle,
Be prevy menys, as we aspye;
ȝyf he procede, son sen ȝe xalle,
That oure lawys he wyl dystrye;
It is oure part thus to deny:
What is ȝour cowncelle in this cas?
Cayphas. Be reson the trewth here may we try,
I cannot dem hym withouth trespace;
Because he seyth in every a place,
That he kyng of Jewys in every degré.
