The pepyl therof wold seyn ful ylle,

That nother xuld be ȝour worchep nor prow.

Pylat. Sere Joseph of Baramathie, I graunt the

With Jhesuis body do thin intent;

But fyrst I wole wete that he ded be,

Sere knytys, I comawnd ȝow that ȝe go

In hast with Josepht of Baramathie;

And loke ȝe take good hede therto,

That Jhesu suerly ded be.
