ffor we han no poer, ne no jurediccyon,
Of no man of that contré.
Therfore the trewth ȝe telle me,
And another wey I xal provyde,—
If Jhesus were born in that countré,
The jugement of Herowdys he must abyde.
Cayphas. Sere, as I am to the lawe trewly sworn,
To telle the trewth I have no fer;
In Galelye I know that he was born,
I can telle in what place and where.
