That is to sayn, to be contynent in word, thought, and dede,
And alle leccherous levyng cast ȝow for to fle.
And the schon that xal be ȝour feet upon,
Is not ellys but exawnpyl of vertuis levyng;
Of ȝour form fadeyrs ȝou beforn,
With these schon my steppys ȝe xal be sewyng.
And the staf that in ȝour handys ȝe xal holde,
Is not ellys but the exawmplys to other men teche;
Hold fast ȝour stavys in ȝour handys, and beth bolde
To every creature myn precepttys for to preche.
