| | Ihesu Crist / And this is for to synne in herte in mouth | |
| | and in dede by thy fyue wyttis / that ben sighte heeryng . | |
| | smellyng / tastyng or sauoryng / and felyng / 886 Now is | |
| | hit good to vnderstande the circumstancis that agruggen | |
| | mikyl euery synne / 887 Thou shalt considere what thou art that | |
| | dost the synne / whethir thou be male or female / yong or old | |
