C.
It is sayd that Crysys in this strete dyd dwell
That had leuer get goodis here vnhonestly
Than in her contrey honestly porely & well

Them whom I shall ax god spede ye both two

Therfore her goodes must she nedes possede.


Now other mennis exāplis gyue me warning
How easy & prophetable it shold be to me
The law here to folow for I know this thyng
Some supporter she hath for a suerte

And gredy glotton for herytage shold ax here
So her to dispoyle it were no reason

Led me to her that I may her se

For I wold not that simo shold se me now.
