Multa flagella peccatoris; sperantem autem in Domino misericordia circumdabit.
Manyon is þe sadde betyng
That to the synful schal be-tyde,
Bot he that is in God trostyng
Shal mercy kepe on euery syde;
Whan wrecches schul ther hondes wryng,
That were so ful of pompe and pryde,
Than schul the sauyd soules synge
For blys that they schul in abyde.
