I have nowth ȝet founde that I have sowth,
ffor my faderys wyl fforth must I go.
Pylat. Jhesus, be this than I trowe thou art a kyng,
And the sone of God thou art also,—
Lord of erth and of alle thing,—
Telle me the trowth, if it be so!
Jhesus. In hefne is knowyn my faderys intent,
And in this werlde I was born;
Be my fadyr I was hedyr sent,
For to seke that was forlorn.
