Qui retribuunt mala pro bonis detrahebant michi, qui sequeba[r] bonitatem.
Thei þat for good euel quyten,
For I good folowed, bakbytid me;
Bot thei þat thus falsly bakbyten,
Ful dredeful may ther hertes be;
For God schal alle ther wordes writen,
And schewe, þat alle the world schal see,
How scharply he schal [al] them smyten,
That wolde noght that vice fle.
