Distinctio nominum, Et primo quare dicitur filius dei.

Goddes son he callide is
In þat he come from heuen doun
And mynget godhed noȝt amys
with monhede, as ȝe leue moun.
ffor from þe faders maieste
out of hym-self he doun was sent,
therfore he may wel callide be
Goddes son omnipotent.
And al-thagh in one trinite
thre persouns ben to-geder lent,
þe goddhede is with alle thre
enterlie, takes in ȝour entent.
