ye ought more to drede whiche am kynge of all

Bothe god and man and reygne celestyall

 No erthely man loueth you so well

As I do / which mekely dyde enclyne

For to redeme you from the fendes of hell

Takynge your kynde by my godhede dyuyne

you were the fendes I dyde make you myne

For you swete bretherne I was on the rode

Gyuynge my body my herte and my blode

[A.v.]

 Than why do ye in euery maner of place

With cruell othes tere my body and herte

My sydes and woundes it is a pyteous cace

Alas swete brederne I wolde you conuerte

For to take vengeaunce ye do me coherte

From the hous of swerers shall not be absent

The plage of Iustyce to take punysshement

 ¶Vnde. Ecclesiastici .xxxiii. Vir multum iurans implebitur iniquitate et non discedet a domo eius plaga. 

A man moche swerynge with grete iniquite

Shall be replete and from his mancyon
