Here Cryst restyth and etyth a lytyl, and seyth, syttyng to his disciplis, and Mary Mawdelyn,
Jhesus. Myn herte is ryght sory and no wondyr is,
Thoo dethe I xal go and nevyr dyd trespas;
But ȝitt most grevyth myn hert evyr of this,
On of my bretheryn xal werke this manas.
On of ȝow here syttynge my treson xal tras,
On of ȝow is besy my dethe here to dyth,
And ȝitt was I nevyr in no synful plas,
Wherefore my dethe xuld so shamfully be pyght.
Petrus. My dere Lord, I pray the the trewthe for to telle,
