| accusen vs alle / 439 Thenne cometh malignyte thurgh whiche | |||
| a man noyeth his neyghbour pryuely yf he may / 440 And yf | |||
| he nought may algate his wicked wil shal not wante | |||
| as for to brenne his hous pryuely or empoysen hym or sle | |||

| god / And sothly thy frende shal thou loue in god / 449 I say | |||
| thyn enemye shal thou loue for gods sake by his comande- | |||
| ment / For it were reson a man shold hate his enemy / For | |||
