Now I wyl fede ȝow alle with awngellys mete,
Wherfore to reseyve it come fforth seryattly.
Petrus. Lord, ffor to receyve this gostly sustenawns
In dewe forme, it excedyth myn intellygens;
ffor no man of hymself may have substawns
To receyve it with to meche reverens.
ffor with more delycyous mete, Lord, thou may us not fede,
Than with thin owyn precyous body;
Wherfore what I have trespacyd in word, thought, or dede,—
With byttyr contrycion, Lord, I haske the mercy.
