Ther is on Jhesus of Nazareth, as men me tellyth;

Of that man I desyre to han a sythte,

ffor with many gret wondrys oure lawe he fellyth.

The son of God hymself he callyth,

And kyng of Jewys he seyth is he,

And many woundrys of hym he fallyth—

My hert desyryth hym for to se.

Seres, yf that he come in this cowntré,

With oure jurresdyccion loke ȝe aspye,

And anon that he be brouth onto me,
