XLVI. The sone of god alone
Hath made vs free echeone.

1

The faders sonne of heven blis
Of a pure mayde man bicome is
To for-geve man, that did amys,
By his mekenes allone.

2

Bothe yonge and olde we were forlorn
For synne, that Adam did beforne,
Till of a mayde this chielde was born
To make vs fre alone.

3

Moder Mary and virgyne pure
Clothed hym with mortall vesture
And closed hym in her clausure
Of chastite allone.

4

When he was xxx.ti winter olde,
For xxx. plates he was solde

213

To the Iewes wikked and bolde
By fals Iudas alone.

5

Vpon his hede a crowne of thorne
The Iewes sette than with grete scorne,
And with scourgis his flesshe they torne
For our trespas alone.

6

The Iewes thanne of wikked moode
Nayled his bodye on the roode,
Wheron he shed his precious bloode
To make vs free alone.

7

He was dede and in his graue leyde
And rose ayene, as scripture seide,
On the iij.de daye and to blis steyde,
Both god and man alone.

8

Now beseche we this king of grace,
That we may haue a dwelling place
And euir to see his glorious face
In heven blis echeone.
