Earl Godrich appoints justices, sheriffs, &c.
Justises dede he maken newe,
Al engelond to faren þorw,
Fro douere into rokesborw.
Schireues he sette, bedels, and greyues,
Grith-sergeans, wit longe gleyues,
To yemen wilde wodes and paþes
Fro wicke men, that wolde don scaþes;
And forto hauen alle at his cri,
At his wille, at his merci;
