Why shuld erth vpon erth go stowt or gay,
60
Sith erth owt of erth shall passe in pore a-ray?
16 I consaill you vpon erth þat wikkidly haue wrowght,
Whill þat erth is on erth, torn vp your thowght,
& pray to God vppon erth, þat all þe erth hath wrowght,
64
Þat erth owt of erth to blis may be browght.
Amen.
